The lord of Roland on the opposite side also saw Duanmufei, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked away.

Duanmu Fei didn't care, her eyes were quickly attracted by the two people facing each other in the field.

The young man who came on the field just now was Heru, the elder brother of the lord of Roland.

"Please advise." Heru put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly to the bald man a few steps away.

The bald man also returned the salute, with disdain in his eyes.

The two stood together in stark contrast, compared to the tall and burly bald man who looked like a hill, Heru, who was half a head shorter than him, was so thin and looked almost weak.

After the middle-aged man "banged" the gong and drum with a drumstick, the wrestling match began again.

The bald man looked burly, but his skills were very agile, and after the gong sounded, he struck first, and flew towards Heru like a tiger, intending to hug the other party's waist.

However, Heru was calm, his figure flashed to the right, and he turned behind the bald man, hugged the other party from behind, and then kicked his feet, and somehow pulled his hands and pulled them, and the opponent's huge body flew out diagonally and fell to the ground.

Heru clasped his opponent's right arm around his lower back, immobilizing him.

There was silence for a moment, and Heru quickly let go of the bald man, took a few steps back, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

He won, and he won neatly!

Then, there was a thunderous applause all around, almost resounding through the bazaar, rising wave after wave like the waves.

For a while, the eyes of those onlookers were all focused on Heru, and many people were waving their fists to cheer for him, and this kind of reversal of defeating the weak over the strong made people feel a hearty pleasure.

The bald man got up, glared at Heru, and ran away.

The middle-aged stall owner looked around at everyone again, raised his voice and asked again, "But there is anyone else who wants to challenge this young warrior?" ”

There was still a lively commotion all around, everyone looked at each other, and some people pushed each other, but no one responded.

The middle-aged stall owner repeated the words again, and until the third time, no one stood up.

And rightfully so.

Many onlookers have already watched several games here in a row, knowing the strength of the bald man just now, before Heru, he had won five opponents in a row, and Heru easily defeated this bald man in less than ten breaths, and his strength can be seen.

Seeing that no one stepped forward for a long time, Duanmu Fei felt bored, pulled Feng Yan's hand, pointed in another direction with his left hand and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." I just saw that there were camels there......"

Duanmu Fei's eyes lit up again as she spoke, she had seen a picture of a camel in a book before, this was the first time she had seen a real camel with her own eyes, and the bulging meat peak alone made Duanmu Fei feel very interesting.

Feng Yan has always followed Duanmufei, whatever she says, it is what it is.

"Trouble ...... aside"

The two were about to turn around and leave, when Heru's provocative voice sounded in front of them: "Don't go, don't go, do you want to try with me?!" ”

Heru directly raised his hand and pointed at Feng Yan, so the eyes of the others also shot towards Feng Yan, and for a while, Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei became the focus of everyone's attention.

Including the lord of Roland, he also looked over, his eyes were arrogant.

"Fourth girl Duanmu," Lord Roland looked at Duanmu Fei with a slight chin raised, "I don't know if Brother Ling dares to compete with his brother!" ”

Both she and Heru were provocative.

Feng Yan looked down at Duanmu Fei and blinked, meaning, Zhen Zhen, do you know them?

Duanmu Fei nodded, and whispered to him: "That's the Roland County Lord of the Baichuan Clan, and the last time I lost to me and Cousin Hanxing in a polo game in the Ningjiang Palace, I have been unconvinced......

The crowd of people watching around also realized that these young people should know each other, and they became more and more noisy, and all of them were full of color, like a pot of hot water about to boil, and felt that they seemed to have another good show to watch.

An old man with a missing front tooth smiled at Feng Yan and said, "Little brother, look at you with a scimitar, you should be a martial arts student, why don't you try it and give us the Central Plains people a long face?!" ”

Some people support it, some people oppose it, and then I hear some people saying something like "don't lose face but lose face" and "people must be self-aware" or something.

Feng Yan didn't pay attention to the voices around him, his eyes were full of thoughts that he couldn't embarrass Zhen Zhen.

"Zhen Zhen, do you want a lottery?" Feng Yan looked at Duanmu Fei seriously, "Wait for me for a while." ”

Without waiting for Duanmu Fei to answer, Feng Yan had already handed the hand stove in his hand to Duanmu Fei first, and then pulled out the scimitar that was randomly inserted into his belt and handed it to Duanmu Fei.

Feng Yan strode up to Heru, quietly meeting the other party's eyes, and there were faint sparks flashing where their eyes met.

The crowd around them became even more excited, their faces turned red, and they shouted "compare with each other", one louder than the other, and their emotions boiled.

Duanmu Fei looked at the scimitar in his hand and blinked slowly, walked up to the middle-aged stall owner, and gave the other party a silver coat as the cost of the challenge.

The middle-aged stall owner received the money, and he was happier and radiant. The amount of money he collected from these challengers today had already exceeded the value of that jackpot.

Feng Yan glanced back at Duanmu Fei and smiled energetically. He wasn't going to waste her money.

"Boom!"

The sound of the gong, which symbolized the beginning of the game, sounded again, deafeningly and silently.

Lord Roland smiled slightly, his waist straight.

Her elder brother is the number one warrior of their Baichuan clan, especially good at wrestling, and in the past three years, not only in their Baichuan clan, but also in the northwest tribe has no opponent.

This Duanmufei's brother doesn't look much older than him, but he is just a pampered son, and his body is very thin, how can he be his brother's opponent!

In the wrestling ring, it is not better than polo, that fight is real strength, there is no "side force" to borrow, her brother will win!

Lord Roland looked determined and held his head high.

Heru looked deeply at the handsome young man in front of him, his eyes were faintly flashing like a sharp blade, and he said in a condescending tone: "You have commendable courage......" He thought that the other party would not dare to fight!

"That's all the nonsense." Feng Yan interrupted the other party impatiently, he still wanted to take Zhen Zhen to see the camels, but he didn't have time to ink here with him.

Feng Yan kicked his right foot on the grass, and rushed towards Heru, so fast that his body turned into a snow-blue shadow, and a few spectators shook their heads secretly, muttering that this kid was too composed.

Heru smiled calmly, he wouldn't let Feng Yan hug his waist easily, and with a flicker of his side, he avoided Feng Yan's pwoop, and then his strong right arm stretched out, grabbed Feng Yan's shoulder at a tricky angle, and pinched his thin right shoulder.

Got you! A sharp light flashed under Heru's eyes, once he "bites", don't think about getting out!

There was a burst of applause all around.

Feng Yan hooked the corners of his lips, his body twisted again, grabbed Heru's right arm with both hands, and quickly stumbled on the opponent's right foot, Heru's body shook slightly, wanting to fight back with his left foot, however, the moment he lifted his left foot, his body was instantly unbalanced, and a force came from his right arm, and when he didn't know what was going on, the whole person was already spinning for a while, and he fell to the ground on his back.

The blue sky above met Heru's eyes, and Heru's eyes were almost dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe this fact.

He actually lost.

According to the rules of wrestling, whoever lands on any part above the knee first loses.

There was silence all around, as if the voices had been sucked out.

Fang Cai Feng Yan and Heru fought for several rounds, but their movements were extremely fast, and before the others could see clearly, the victory and defeat were decided between lightning and flint.

Before many people even figured it out, Heru had already fallen to the ground.

Feng Yan didn't look at Heru again, turned his head to look at the middle-aged stall owner, and said remindedly: "I won." ”

Duanmu Fei applauded Feng Yan desperately on the side. Wrestling is a lot of fun!

The middle-aged stall owner was dumbfounded, his jaw was about to drop, he didn't react for a while, and he came back to his senses after being called by Feng Yan, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

He looked at the others around him again and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge this child?" ”

As these words fell, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd of onlookers became noisy again, some cheered, some applauded, some raised their arms, and spoke in their ears, and the crowd was excited.

Today's wrestling matches are really climactic!

On the one hand, they feel that heroes have come out of their youths since ancient times, and on the other hand, there is also a kind of glory that our Han men will never lose to these remote tribes.

The middle-aged stall owner repeated twice more to everyone, but no one responded, and then he announced loudly: "Then, this rhino horn cup belongs to this son." ”

Feng Yan took the carved cockroach horn cup, and handed it directly to Duanmu Fei, his handsome face seemed to be glowing, and he looked like he was showing his skills.

See, he didn't waste all his money!

Duanmu Fei returned Feng Yan's scimitar to him, took the rhino horn cup with exquisite carving, and played with it with love, smiling with crooked eyebrows, remembering that Feng Yan also won a lot of things at the Lantern Festival last year.

"Vera ......"

Feng Yan wanted to say let's go see the camels, but before the rest of the words were finished, Heru and the brother and sister of the lord of Roland County had already walked over, and the lord of Roland Sakura pursed his lips and looked complicated.

"This brother, please stay." Heru stopped a few steps away, put his right hand on his chest, bent down and saluted Feng Yan, and said, "I am Heru from the Baichuan clan, dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname?" ”

Heru looked at Feng Yan in front of him with a clear gaze.

The grassland people have always been respected by the strong.

In their Baichuan clan, it is not shameful to lose to the strong, which means that he is not strong enough, and he can also target the other party to become stronger.

And he believes that the young man in front of him who can win him is by no means unknown.

The other party asked, and Feng Yan replied calmly: "My name is Feng Yan." ”

The lord of Roland behind Heru raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, Feng Yan's surname was Feng, so he was not Duanmufei's brother.

"Brother Feng," Heru raised his hands, and this time he gave Feng Yan a fist salute from the Central Plains, "If you have a chance in the future, please ask Brother Feng to teach again." ”

Feng Yan also arched his hand at the other party and said a greeting: "Waiting for you at any time." ”

"Zhenzhen, let's go see the camels." Feng Yan took Duanmufei's little hand again and left without hesitation.

The other people around saw the excitement and scattered one after another, leaving only Heru and Lord Roland still standing in place, watching the backs of Duanmu Fei and Feng Yan gradually drift away in the crowded market......

Lord Roland stared at Feng Yan's upright back with burning eyes, and the jade teeth bit his lower lip lightly, and he was still a little incredulous.

This young man named Feng Yan actually won over her brother who was the number one warrior of the Baichuan clan with an easy attitude......

She had vowed to marry a strong man since she was young, but in the past few years, no one in the entire Baichuan clan and the northwest tribe could defeat her brother...... Until today.

Lord Roland's gaze slowly moved from Feng Yan to Duanmu Fei, looking at the hands of the two of them, his eyes were slightly condensed.

A person like Duanmu Fei, who knows how to be opportunistic, can actually get the favor of a warrior like Feng Yan.

Duanmu Fei is not worthy of him at all!

The corners of Lord Roland's mouth curled with disdain, and his fingers casually curled a small braid on the side of his cheek, again and again.

Sealed, inflamed.

Lord Roland silently read Feng Yan's name in her heart, her eyes were shining, and when she returned to Beijing, she had to ask someone to inquire about Feng Yan.

Feng Yan in front didn't notice the gaze of the county lord of Roland at all, he had been pulled by Duanmu Fei to a horse ring, the wooden railing enclosed a horse pen half an acre in size, and in addition to seven or eight horses and three camels, there were three camels locked in the horse pen.

The tall camels were eating the hay with relish, their mouths creaking and chewing, and they ate slowly, without stopping for a moment, as if their stomachs could never be full.

It was obviously such a monotonous and boring scene, but Duanmu Fei was very interested in watching it, and occasionally talked to Feng Yan about the two or three things about camels she had seen in the book.

Seeing that Duanmu Fei liked it, Feng Yan proposed: "Then let's buy one and go back......

The corners of Duanmufei's eyes twitched, and he hurriedly pulled Feng Yan and ran away, lest if he stayed a little longer, there would be one more camel in his stable. Let's spare their grooms!

Duanmu Fei pulled Feng Yan all the way forward, and did not stop until he smelled a fragrant smell of barbecue.

It smells so good! Duanmu moved the tip of his nose.

Three or four strangers set up a bonfire, and a deer was roasting on the fire, and the fat of the deer dripped into the fire, and it made a sound of nourishment, and the smell of meat drifted away with the cold wind, attracting many good deeds.

"Brother, you are really good at hunting a deer in less than an hour when you go up the mountain!" A blue-robed young man of an alien race praised a bearded middle-aged man.

The bearded middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm lucky." It just so happened that a frozen deer was picked up on the mountain, so I hurriedly carried it back. ”

Duanmu Fei's eyes were slightly condensed, during this period of time, the snow disaster in the capital was not only for people, but also for animals, and the thick snow covered the grass on the mountain, so that many animals either froze to death, or starved to death.

"Thankfully, the snow is finally going to stop." Duanmu raised his eyes to look at the blue sky above and muttered.

Feng Yan also looked up at the sky, his eyebrows moved, as if he had thought of something, and asked in a low voice, "Zhen Zhen, will there be thunder recently?" ”

Duanmu was stunned, looked at his nose and nose, and replied, "Yes." Just after the thirteenth hour of the twelfth lunar month. ”

Feng Yan stared at Duanmu Fei's little face with burning eyes, Duanmu Fei only felt that his cheeks were almost roasted by him, and after coughing dryly, he beckoned to him and motioned for him to attach his ear.

Feng Yan bowed his head and leaned his ear over.

Duanmu Fei whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Feng Gongzi, during the Chinese New Year, there will be a small earth dragon turning over. ”

This should be a great opportunity for Feng Yan and that person.

Duanmufei's right hand subconsciously rubbed the scimitar given by Xu Jingsi on his waist, his slender eyelashes trembled, and he silently took another half step.

Feng Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and then he showed a deep groan, as if he was thinking about something. He was silent for two breaths before he asked in a low voice, "Zhenzhen, when is it?" ”

"It should be around noon on the first day of junior high school." Duanmu Fei replied in a low voice, "The deviation between the front and back should not be greater than an hour." ”

Feng Yan's eyes were instantly brighter and more dazzling than the sun in the sky, and he looked at Duanmu Fei with burning eyes. He's so smart!

Duanmu lowered her eyes silently, and felt a little worried in her heart: In fact, she really didn't want to know so much, but being too smart is trouble, and she figured it all out if she was not careful.

She flattened her mouth, and wanted to cry without tears.

Feng Yan raised his hand, wanting to rub the top of Duanmufei's hair, but before his hand was raised, he heard a rumbling sound of carriages and horses coming from the official road, and the procession of the comers was mighty, there were twenty or thirty carriages, and there were nearly twenty knights accompanying him, and the team seemed to be huge.

I don't know who shouted in the rear: "Another tribe from Chaohe has arrived in Beijing." ”

"I don't know which clan it is this time?"

"Whatever."

Several people walked past Duanmu Fei and Feng Yan with a smile.

Since entering Layue, there are too many tribes who have come to Chaohe, whether it is Dasheng people or people from other tribes, they are no longer surprised.

Feng Yan originally just glanced at it casually, but he didn't want to, but he saw that those carriages were all engraved with a somewhat familiar golden family emblem, on the family emblem was a two-headed eagle with wings ready to fly, and the two fierce eagle heads looked in two directions.

Feng Yan couldn't help but stop, and muttered in his mouth: "Hua Quinoa Clan." ”

There are dozens of small clans around Dasheng, although Duanmufei can't be said to know everything about them, but he still knows some about each clan, for example, the Huaqu tribe is a tribe in the north, and I heard that the people of this clan are good at raising eagles.

However, Feng Yan seems to be a little concerned about this Hua Quinoa clan. Duanmu Fei thought, his gaze retracted from the Hua Quinoa clan's convoy, and looked at Feng Yan's well-defined side face.

Under the touch of the golden sun, Feng Yan's facial features looked softer than usual, his long eyelashes were thick and dense, casting some shadows on his handsome face, and the tails of his beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly tilted upward, as deep as the sea.

His thin rosy lips were pursed and raised slightly, as if he was smiling, and there seemed to be a hint of coldness.

"The deceased princess of Zhenbei is the Huoli county lord of the Huaqu clan." Feng Yan said slowly.

Hearing the words "King of Zhenbei", Duanmufei's little face was a little tangled, she withdrew her gaze, and habitually said to herself in her heart, don't think too much, don't think too much.

The corners of Feng Yan's mouth hooked a disdainful arc, and he said in a low voice: "Back then, it was the secret of the current patriarch Ashina...... In the end, the Zhenbei Wangfu was slaughtered. ”

Duanmu Fei couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his heartbeat pounded two beats faster, lowered his eyes again, and heard Feng Yan's calm voice in his ears coming slowly: "After the fall of the Zhenbei Palace, the power of the Huaqui clan overlapped, and it was also the first tribe in the north to show loyalty to the emperor. ”

Duanmu Fei continued to empty his head, his eyes glazed.

"Stepping on ......"

The convoy of the Hua Quinoa clan was getting closer and closer to this side, and the sound of horses' hooves and wheels was getting louder and louder, almost suppressing Feng Yan's low voice.

"Things are not people." Feng Yan stared at the clan emblem on a certain carriage without blinking, and said almost with a sigh.

The convoy continued eastward, and in a few moments it sped past the market, drifting away.

Feng Yan stood in place in a daze, and suddenly felt a warmth in his left hand, a soft little hand held his hand, and his rough palm was close to her soft palm, warm and soft.

Feng Yan's spirit perked up, and he felt as if a feather was scratching his heart, and it was like a hot spring slowly flowing through his heart, making the corners of his mouth unintentionally raised.

"Zhen Zhen, I brought some ghee, blood sausage, and milk wine from Pu Guo, do you want to try it?" He winked seductively at her.

Duanmu's eyes lit up, saliva secreted, and he nodded in a hurry. Absolutely!

"Let's go." Duanmu Fei couldn't wait to pull Feng Yan and walk in the direction of the carriage.

After a while, their cart overtook the convoy of the Hua Quinoa clan, Feng Yan silently glanced back at the convoy, clamped the horse's belly, ran faster in the sky, and the horse's hooves were flying.

The cold wind howled and the sand and dust rolled.

The convoy of the Hua Quinoa tribe drove forward mightily, because there were many carriages and horses, this speed was naturally not fast, and it took nearly an hour to come to the West City Gate.

The convoy went all the way into the city to the palace gate, and attracted a lot of onlookers, and the patriarch Ashina took a pair of children to the Taiping Palace to meet the emperor first.

"See the emperor, long live my king, long live."

Ashina, who was described as rough, took a pair of children and respectfully kowtowed to the emperor on the throne.

"Ashina, get up." The emperor raised his hand, laughed loudly, and his attitude was very friendly, "Give me a seat." ”

After Ashina and the three of them thanked him, they stood up, and at the same time, the three chamberlains neatly added three more hoop chairs to the hall.

In addition to the emperor, there were two people sitting in the hall, one was Geng Hai, the Duke of Weiguo, and the other was Wu Shangshu of the Li Fan Academy.

The emperor's gaze swept lightly over Ashina's father and son, and fell on the girl behind Ashina's right, this girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, tall, wearing a slim peach-colored embroidered robe, with a pair of bright big eyes embedded in her honey-colored face, and a bright temperament, but this appearance can only barely be regarded as delicate, and it looks somewhat similar to her father Ashina between her eyebrows and eyes.

The emperor moved his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Of course, Geng Hai also saw the appearance of the little county lord of the Hua Quinoa clan, and he was also disappointed in his heart, frowning slightly.

It's a pity!

This little county lord didn't look like Cen Yin at all.

However, judging by her appearance, she shouldn't look like her aunt Huoli County Lord, who is known as the first beauty in the north.

After Ashina and the three sat down, the emperor said loudly: "Ashina, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years." How have you Hua Quinoa been doing in the past few years? ”

Ashina also came to the capital with his late father, the old patriarch, when he was young, and this was his second visit to Beijing.

"The emperor is really heroic!" Ashina sat on a chair and hugged his fists to the emperor on the throne, "My Hua Quinoa clan can live and work in peace and contentment in the north, and the soldiers are strong and strong, all thanks to your wisdom and martial arts, the emperor, so that I will be prosperous and prosperous, and the world ......will be peaceful."

Ashina said like a river, impassionedly praised the emperor's exploits, and thanked the emperor for the family, he alone talked about nearly half a cup of tea, and finally held the teacup with both hands, and said to the emperor: "The minister toasts the emperor with tea instead of wine." ”

However, this tea was too hot, and Ashina could only take a sip of it, and couldn't help but look embarrassed.

The emperor laughed loudly and said, "Ashina, I know your mind. ”

Although the emperor was a little disappointed because he didn't see the beauty, he was still quite polite to Ashina when he remembered Ashina's contribution to the capture of Zhenbei Wangfu.

Geng Hai's eyes flashed, and he echoed with a smile: "Your Majesty, Prince Ashina has always been loyal to the emperor. ”

"Wei Guogong knows my heart." Ashina looked at Geng Hai gratefully, arched his hand at him, and thanked him for his kind words.

The emperor burst into laughter again, "Ashina, you want to come and drink tea from the Central Plains...... Come on, serve wine to Prince Ashina! ”

The attendant on the side hurriedly received the order, and after a while, he came back with three or four palace maids and served everyone wine.

In the huge hall, in addition to incense and tea, there is a faint aroma of wine.

A few men poured a glass of wine into their throats, and their faces were stained with a bit of alcohol, and the originally unfamiliar atmosphere became a lot lighter.

"Good wine!" Ashina raised his wine glass, raised his head and drank another glass of wine, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the minister came this time, and brought dozens of jars of mare's milk wine, drinking it will not hurt the body, the emperor and the Duke of Wei Guo must try it!" ”

Geng Hai was full of praise and said: "The minister has also tried this mare's milk wine in the north before, it not only has a round and smooth taste, rich frankincense, but also has the effect of invigorating blood and soothing tendons, strengthening the stomach and kidneys, it is really a treasure in the wine." After a pause, Geng Hai seemed to inadvertently suggest, "Your Majesty, such a good wine, why don't you let Lord Cen come over and try it!" ”

Hearing Geng Hai mention Cen Yin, the smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth narrowed slightly, glanced at Geng Hai lightly, and said, "No need." ”

The emperor is not a fool, and he has long seen that Geng Hai has always been a little dissatisfied with Cen Yin.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

Geng Hai wanted to say something more, but the emperor became more and more unhappy, and interrupted Geng Hai indifferently: "Ah Yin is busy." ”

Cen Yin is still busy with the affairs of the ceremonial supervisor and the East Factory every day, and he is so busy that he has no skills, but it is just a jar of mare's milk wine, and he sent someone to Cen Yin to send it, where is Cen Yin needed to come over for a jar of wine, Geng Hai is really getting more and more out of proportion.

Geng Hai clenched his fists, but he could only endure it and did not mention Cen Yin again.

After the emperor said a few more words to Ashina, he said: "Ashina, you and Linglang Lingyan have also worked hard all the way, let's go to Qianyayuan to settle down first, and I will wash the dust for you in a few days." ”

Ashina, father and son, hurriedly got up and thanked the emperor.

The emperor's gaze swept over Geng Hai, and he said, "Geng Hai, you and Wu Aiqing will help settle Ashina." Anyway, he saw that Geng Hai and Ashina had a very happy conversation, and he thought that it would make Ashina feel at home.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Shangshu of the Li Fan Yuan also hurriedly got up and received the order.

"......" Geng Hai's face was a little stiff, he still didn't look down on the Huaqui tribe, it was just a border tribe, and he had to send them to settle by himself.

However, Geng Hai was not going to refute the emperor's face to face, besides, he was going to find a chance to talk to Ashina.

Geng Hai pursed his lips, stood up, and also clenched his fists and received the order: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor waved his hand, and followed, Geng Hai, Ashina, Wu Shangshu and others retreated one after another.

A group of people walked in the direction of the palace gate, and Geng Hai and Ashina walked side by side in the forefront.

Geng Hai quietly greeted Ashina: "Lord, my father heard that the ancient Yeli grassland where your Huaqu tribe is located is beautiful, and this good mountain and water can raise people, no wonder the prince and Ling Lang and Ling Yan are all talents." ”

Who doesn't like to listen to good words, Ashina was coaxed into a smile, and while walking, he arched his hand at Geng Hai and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo has won the award." ”

Geng Hai's eyes flashed, and he said as if inadvertently: "Lord Wang, I heard that the nobles are rich in beauties, Lord Wang, your sister Lord Huoli...... Princess Zhenbei was known as the first beauty in the north back then. ”

The moment Ashina heard the "Huoli County Lord", his face stiffened, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

Although Ashina didn't want to talk about this topic, he knew that Geng Hai, the Duke of Weiguo, had a transcendent status in Dasheng, and after being silent for a moment, Ashina still reluctantly responded and said "where".

Geng Hai only didn't see the reluctance on Ashina's face, and continued: "Speaking of Lingmei's beauty, presumably her children are also outstanding, I don't know if the prince has ever seen it?" Geng Hai asked as if unintentionally.

Ashina's hands were clenched into fists at his sides, his eyes were bright and dark, and his mood was also fluctuating.

When the Zhenbei Wangfu was still there, he was not the son, at that time, the son was Huoli's half-brother and his eldest brother.

Later, after the Zhenbei Wangfu was destroyed, his father asked for the abolition of the eldest brother's son.

He and Huo Li's brother and sister are not the same mother, the brother and sister are very strange, since Huo Li married into the Zhenbei Palace, he has never been to the Zhenbei Palace, and naturally he has never seen Huo Li's children.

thought so in his heart, but Ashina said, "Of course I have seen it." ”

How could Geng Hai know the inside story, so he naturally believed it, and muttered in a low voice: "That's fine." ”

Geng Hai narrowed his eyes, anyway, Ashina is already here, and there will be opportunities in the future, as long as Cen Yin and Ashina meet...... It doesn't matter whether Cen Yin is the remnant of the Zhenbei Mansion or not, when the time comes, he will say that he is, he is!

Thinking about it, Geng Hai's eyes became darker and deeper, as gloomy as as if that bottomless hell.

"......" Ashina vaguely felt that Geng Hai was a little strange, but he was confused, and couldn't figure out why Geng Hai suddenly thought of mentioning Huoli.

On the one hand, Ashina wanted to test a few words, but on the other hand, he was so conflicted that he didn't want to continue the topic.

At this time, the palace gate appeared in front, and Geng Hai quietly brought the topic over: "Lord, the recent heavy snowfall, the weather in Beijing is cold, there are not many places to enjoy, but fortunately, this Qianya Garden is a good place, there is a glass-roofed Qinxiang Garden inside, warm as spring, even in the cold winter, the garden is still full of flowers, and when the prince, Ling Lang and Ling Yan arrive at the Qianya Garden, you must go and have a good time......

The little county lord was a little interested, and stroked his palms and said, "Grandpa Guo, then I must go and see it later." ”

Between the words, the group waited out of the palace gate.

The people of the Li Fan Yuan were already waiting outside the palace gate, a total of seven or eight people, including Duanmu Heng.

Duanmu Heng, Tao Zihuai and his entourage saluted Geng Hai and Wu Shangshu.

Wu Shangshu introduced Ashina and his son to Duanmu Heng: "This is the Prince Ashina of the Huaqui clan, as well as the prince and the county lord. ”

After Duanmuheng and the others saluted Ashina again, Wu Shangshu instructed them: "A few of you will accompany the prince, the prince and the county lord to Qianyayuan first, and you must be well entertained, so that the prince will feel at home." ”

"Yes, Lord Wu." Duanmu Heng responded, and so did Tao Zihuai and the others beside him.

Then, Ashina and his party either got on the horse or got into the carriage, and after a while, the group of carriages and horses headed towards the west city gate.

Geng Hai only sent them to the city gate and left, but Duanmu Heng and the others escorted them to Qianya Garden on the outskirts of Beijing, and accompanied them to settle down, and walked around Qianya Garden for most of the time.

After being busy for most of the day, when Duanmu Heng returned to Duanmu Mansion, it was already the beginning of the unitary period, the sunset had already set most of the time, and the sky was half bright and half dark.

Duanmu Heng went to Duanmu Xian's outer study full of exhaustion, and Duanmu Fei was also inside, playing chess with Duanmu Xian.

After Duanmu Heng sat down, the maid served tea to Duanmu Heng, and Duanmu Xian asked casually: "Brother Heng, how are you doing in the Li Fan Courtyard these days?" ”

Duanmu Heng looked at the chess game in front of him with interest, and the black and white chess pieces dotted on the chessboard seemed to be evenly matched.

Duanmu Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and unhurriedly told him what he had seen and heard when he took the Huaqui clan to Qianyayuan today.

Previously, my grandfather had mentioned that in order to entertain these tribes, the emperor ordered people to renovate the two banquet palaces in Qianyayuan, but when I saw it with my own eyes today, I knew that the so-called renovation almost rebuilt the two palaces, and the roofs were all replaced with expensive and luxurious glazed tiles, and the floor of the palace was replaced with white marble......

Duanmu Heng's expression was a little complicated as he spoke, and he was silent, his heart fluctuating.

Duanmu Fei's gaze still fell on the chessboard, picked up a white seed, and fell casually.

The sound of "pop" echoed crisply and loudly in Duanmu Heng's ears, making him come back to his senses suddenly.

Duanmu Heng looked at Duanmu Xian with emotion, and couldn't help but say: "Grandfather, the treasury is so empty, but it is worth it to work for the sake of face and waste money...... "?

The last three words Duanmu Heng didn't say, and his thin lips pursed.

Duanmu Xian picked up a grain of white and said, "This is also to show the prestige of Dasheng." These tribes were fought down by Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Yingzong from generation to generation, and these tribes in the northwest and north are actually rebellious, and they are thousands of miles away, and the Emperor Tiangao is far away......"

Duanmu Xian's eyebrows moved, and he dropped the sunspot in hand.

He stroked his beard with satisfaction, feeling that he was doing very well here, but Duanmu Fei said with a smile: "Grandfather, are you sure? ”

Duanmu Xian's hand holding his beard froze, his face showed hesitation, and he hurriedly said, "Four girls, let me think about it again." ”

Duanmu shrugged nonchalantly, meaning, whatever you want.

She picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand and drank the tea slowly, looking comfortable.

Duanmu Heng looked at Duanmu Xian, and then at Duanmu Fei, his expression was a little subtle, and his originally heavy heart suddenly felt a little lighter, and his mind became clearer.

Duanmu Heng groaned for a while, and said in an orderly manner: "Grandfather, grandson thinks that in order to show the prosperity of Dasheng, there is no need to use this method, as long as the country is rich and the people are strong, these remote tribes naturally dare not rebel." But if Dasheng declines, will they still be convinced by the imperial court?! ”

Duanmu Xian gave his grandson a satisfied look and praised: "Brother Heng, you can understand this, you didn't work in vain this time!" ”

While speaking, Duanmu Xian raised his hand and motioned for Duanmu Fei to continue.

Duanmu Heng was stunned, suddenly hooked his lips slightly, looked at the chess game again, and looked at Duanmu Xian's eyes with a touch of sympathy. Grandfather is going to lose again.

In the next moment, I saw Duanmu Fei lightly drop another white piece, and the moment the chess piece fell, Duanmu Xian seemed to realize something, and his face changed in an instant......

Duanmu Heng believes that if it weren't for his grandfather, he would still have face, and he was afraid that he would want to regret his chess again.

On the chessboard, the winner is decided.

Duanmu Xian had no choice but to admit defeat, turned his head to Duanmu Heng and said, "Brother Heng, you go back first, Mr. Liu is waiting for you." ”

After Duanmu Heng came back from the Lifan Courtyard every day, no matter how hard and tired he was, he had to follow Mr. Liu Huawen to read for two hours, rain or shine.

Duanmu Heng looked at the leak of the pot, and saw that the hour was almost up, so he hurriedly stood up, and after bowing to Duanmu Xian again, he took his leave.

A maid was in front of him to open the curtain, and he was about to go out, when he heard Duanmufei's voice behind him: "Grandfather, it's almost the New Year, why don't you invite Mr. Liu's family to the capital and celebrate the New Year together?" ”

"Four girls, you have a good idea." Duanmu Xian stroked his palm, looking at Duanmu Fei's eyes full of appreciation, although Mr. Liu had already said that he did not plan to return to Jiangnan for the New Year, but as the old saying goes, every festive season, how can Mr. Liu not miss his family.

Duanmu Heng's eyebrows moved, stopped, turned to Duanmu and said, "Fourth sister, you can go to class with me." ”

After the words came out, Duanmu was stunned, he was just saying it casually, but suddenly felt that this idea was good, anyway, he had to follow Mr. Liu to make up his homework every day after class, and he happened to take his fourth sister with him, so as not to let her always skip class.

What the?! Duanmu Fei was frightened, his mouth opened, and his big eyes were even more round, and he couldn't believe his ears.

It's dark this day, and it's cold, why do you have to go to class by yourself?!

Moreover, why go to class with Big Brother?
