No one knew that Liu Xiake had used the secret of the demon's hand twice and made two wishes: first, to meet a noble person who appreciated him; Second, be the eternal master of this demonic hand!

With the sudden spontaneous combustion of the big willow tree outside the inn, it is obvious that his two wishes have been fulfilled!

It's just that no one will remind him that in exchange for these two wishes, he paid for his life in exchange with the demon!

For several days in a row, Tertel was distressed, and he couldn't figure out a thing!

Since he borrowed the demon's hand at the beginning, the so-called wish came true, but Qi Ji'er followed his gaze that fell on Zhou Yufei, guessed his intentions, and pretended to be the magic of the demon's hand, why did Liu Xiake still believe in it?

If he thought about it further, he would find the strangeness of the matter, then when Qi Ji'er first came to Fengyang City, he never knew who Zhou Yufei was, how could he find her boudoir with ease, and transport it to his bedroom, which he should not have known, and also find the prince's seal that Martha had painstakingly hidden?

With the reopening of the college, Zhenbei, like other students, has lived a normal 9-to-5 life, as plain as water, without waves!

After school on this day, Qi Fuzi, who was the bishop of the B School, suddenly called Zhenbei to her, handed a letter to her, and said with a smile: "In the afternoon and tomorrow's classes, you don't have to take special leave, after a while, you will prepare for tomorrow's palace after lunch!" ”

Seeing Zhenbei's confused face, he pointed to the letter in her hand and sighed: "Tomorrow is the 80th birthday of the Empress Dowager Nanyang, and there are many people from all over the world who come to celebrate her birthday. Presumably, there will be a visit from the old people in the near future, and it is a great joy in life to meet the old acquaintances in other places! ”

It turned out that someone from Yongchuan came to the country, I don't know who the young son of heaven sent to come to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Nanyang?

Zhenbei said goodbye to her master, and after returning to her residence, she hurriedly opened the envelope, and after reading it, her eyelids couldn't help jumping wildly a few times - He Zhaoyuan!

It was the man who was as cunning as a fox!

The same letter was also received by Sima Duanli.

After lunch, the two of them rode together in a carriage to the address written in the letter.

The carriage stopped in front of a quiet courtyard.

Zhen Bei jumped out of the carriage, glanced at Sima Duanli, and looked at the narrow wooden door in front of him in disbelief, only one person passed.

"Zhenbei, are we in the wrong place?" Sima Duanli looked around at the dwarf houses around him and hesitated.

"That's right, the fox nest should be here!" Zhen Bei was determined.

Sima Duanli saw that she had already walked towards the wooden door, and hurriedly followed.

The wooden door opened with a slight push.

Zhen Bei shouted, "Lord He is here", and without waiting for the other party to answer, she had already stepped into the threshold.

Entering the courtyard, I saw that the strange stone landscaping in the courtyard was made by the trees next to the wall, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants were scattered in various corners in an orderly manner.

At this time, a handsome boy dressed in red was reclining on a rattan chair under the plum tree, his slender eyes were closed, and a chessboard was placed on the low table next to his hand, and two tea cups were placed on one side, still steaming.

Sima Duanli whispered to Zhen Bei and said, "Lord He is resting, let's wait here for a while!" ”

Zhenbei glanced at the person in the rattan chair, hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "It's okay." ”

She looked around the courtyard, but she did not notice the shadow of half a servant, and her eyes fell on the chessboard that had not yet had time to tell the winner.

"Brother Sima, come over and kill a game."

Sima Duanli hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Zhenbei, spare me, foolish brother, when I saw this thing like a fishing net, I was afraid!" In this chess class, I spent a lot of effort to barely get a passing grade! ”

Zhen Bei smiled faintly, not too reluctant to him, she stared at the chessboard, and said softly as if talking to herself: "The immortal shows the way, this game should be broken by cutting the heart, hey, this side of the short cannon set up a game, and the bottom of the kettle should be drawn——"

Before she finished speaking, she saw someone who had been sleeping deeply, opened her eyes and sat up, and said happily: "It turns out that the formation is broken like this!" ”

At the same time, the other two men in white pushed the door angrily and walked out of the opposite wing, and said straightly: "This game is not counted!" ”

Zhenbei looked at the man and said in surprise: "Brother He, why are you here?" ”

This man in white turned out to be Zhen Bei's classmate, He Shengge, the young prime minister of Xihu Kingdom!

Because of his special status and official position, the academy and its monarch have long had an agreement in advance, and He Shengge can choose whether to attend classes or not at will during his study at Hanmen Academy, but he must ensure that every required subject is passed in the test!

This He Shengge is obsessed with chess, and everyone wants to pull and kill a game.

He Zhaoyuan's chess skills are extraordinary, and when he learned that he came to Fengyang City, He Shengge went straight to He Zhaoyuan on the grounds that he had something to meet with his country's envoy.

After only three words, you have to kill a game.

The two of them were in the middle of a hearty fight when they heard Zhenbei's shouting.

He Shengge was like a child caught cheating on his first instinct to hide in the wing, while He Zhaoyuan had the idea of tricking people for a while, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Zhenbei deduced who the other visitor was through the clues left at the scene.

She knew that He Shengge loved chess like her life, and she couldn't tolerate the game the most, others pointed fingers on one side, and even instructed to reveal it, so she deliberately said the chess way, and He Shengge couldn't bear it anymore and automatically appeared!

"Oh, it's really worthy of being the virtuous nephew of this son, and he is still so clever and pleasing to people!" He Zhaoyuan squinted and smiled, as if he didn't feel guilty or ashamed at all because of deceiving others.

Zhen Bei had already understood this person's brazenness, and she didn't care about it, she only smiled faintly and said, "Lord He, you are still so wanton and uninhibited!" ”

He Shengge stood on the chessboard in a daze since he went out, and suddenly, he cried with joy and held Zhenbei's hands and said, "This way of moving is indeed to bring the dead back to life!" Brother Gu is my confidant! ”

Sima Duanli looked at this, and then at that, with a little confused, who could tell him what had happened just now!

Before he could figure out a clue, He Zhaoyuan had already gotten up and walked up to him, took out two sealed letters from his arms, stuffed one of them into his hand, and said, "Sima Gongzi, this is the secret letter that the emperor asked me to bring you!" ”

Seeing Zhenbei looking at it curiously, he handed her the other one that he was about to put back into his arms, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, this is from the emperor to the virtuous nephew!" ”

With the friendship between Emperor Yongchuan Mo Li and Sima Duanli, it was reasonable for someone to bring a letter over, however, Zhenbei thought that he was not familiar with the young emperor to the extent of exchanging letters.

She looked at the letter in her hand hesitantly, and secretly guessed what would be written in it.

On the other side, Sima Duanli opened the envelope without any scruples and had read it carefully twice.

"By the way, the emperor has repeatedly reminded the two of you to write a reply!" He Zhaoyuan's gaze swept over Sima Duanli, landed on Zhen Bei, and said with a smile.

"Lord He, can you borrow the study?" Sima Duanli asked.

As the saying goes, a long pain is better than a short pain, rather than a headache in his heart, it is better to write a reply immediately, and he has this matter.

He Zhaoyuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Of course you can." ”

"Thank you!" Sima Duanli sincerely clenched his fists and said.

He walked quickly towards the row of rooms opposite, suddenly stopped, scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I don't know which one is Lord He's study?" ”

The corners of He Zhaoyuan's mouth twitched, he looked at the ear room, and shouted: "Little Taohong, take Sima Gongzi to the study!" ”

A handsome little girl, Ma Li answered, and walked out quickly: "Sima Gongzi, please come here!" ”

Zhen Bei watched the two enter the room on the left.

I heard He Zhaoyuan say: "Two, let's sit down and chat." ”

Then, he shouted at the ear room again: "Little orange, little apricot, get some tea and snacks for Gu Xian's nephews and nephews!" ”

Someone in the room answered, and after a while, two other picturesque girls, holding a tea tray, came over.

Zhenbei bowed slightly, took the teacup, and didn't wait to take a sip.

He Shengge, who was beside him, stood up suddenly, patted his leg, and said, "I almost forgot about the big thing!" I haven't handed over the birthday gift given to the Empress Dowager Nanyang to the Ministry of Rites! Brother He, Brother Gu, say goodbye to Brother Sima on my behalf, and take the next step first! ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the courtyard.

He Zhaoyuan and Zhenbei sent him to the door.

Thinking of something, He Zhaoyuan shouted behind him again: "Uncle Peng, please take Brother He a ride on your behalf!" ”

Before the words fell, from the room of the ear, an old man about fifty years old with gray sideburns walked out, he owed a debt, and said, "Yes, young master!" ”

Zhen Bei stared at the ear room in amazement, which seemed to be less than a foot wide, palm-sized place, how many people were hidden in it.

Uncle Peng drove out a carriage from the backyard, He Shengge sat in the carriage and waved his hand, and the carriage kicked away.

Only Zhen Bei and He Zhaoyuan were left in the courtyard.

The latter's eyes narrowed, and he bent his lips and smiled: "Gu Xian's nephew, it seems that he has some scruples about the emperor's letter and dare not open it?" ”

Zhen Bei raised her eyes, glanced at him, and said, "In this way, Lord He seems to be quite interested in this letter. It's better to ask Lord He to check it on your behalf! ”

"Virtuous nephew, if you really love to laugh, you will privately open the emperor's secret pen letter, but it will lead to death, and this son is a person who cherishes his life!" He Zhaoyuan shook his head and sighed.

He leaned closer, and chuckled, "I wonder when Gu Xian's nephew will become attached to His Majesty?" I heard that even Nangong He treated the virtuous nephew differently, and the virtuous nephew really had the magic power to attract dragons and phoenixes! ”

Zhen Bei was slightly stunned, then looked at him with a smile, and said, "Lord He is in Yongchuan Kingdom, but he can listen to all directions, and he knows everything about what happened in Hanmen Academy, and he knows it very clearly!" I don't know if our Majesty knows what's going on here? ”

There is an unwritten rule in Hanmen Academy, what happens in the academy can only be discussed in the academy, and cannot be leaked outside the academy at will.
