Luoyang is close to the south, and the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Pingcheng, is different, Pingcheng is a horse and Pingchuan, the land is vast, and it is completely the appearance of a northern town. Luoyang is close to the south, and both the architecture and customs are closer to the Southern Qi Dynasty. In addition, Luoyang is the old capital of Cao Wei, and the city is extremely magnificent both in the palace and in the streets.

Luoyang palace city is divided into two palace cities in the north and south, among which the south palace is adjacent to Luoshui in the south, and the two palaces in the north and south are connected by pavilions and compound roads, and the distance between them is quite spectacular. The emperor usually lives in the South Palace. Xiao Lian walked in the palace and looked up to see the corridor flying bridge in the sky, even if he was a modern person, he had to sigh at the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients.

In addition, it can be seen from this that the Northern Wei Dynasty is much better than the Southern Qi in terms of economic and military strength. During Xiao Chen's reign, the treasury was full and could resist the Northern Wei Dynasty. But now that the Southern Qi is almost broken, in fact, with the strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there is no need for Xiao Huatuo to make a fuss, and it is only a matter of time before the Southern Qi is annexed.

It's a pity that the people in the north and south were annexed in the end, surnamed Yang, not Tuoba. With such strength but failing to annex the north and south, presumably the internal affairs of the Northern Wei Dynasty were not much better than those of the Southern Qi.

Gonggong Chen saw Xiao Lian looking at the corridor, and said politely: "It's the first time for the Heavenly Master to come to Luoyang, right?" ”

Xiao Lian nodded.

Gonggong Chen introduced: "Heavenly Master, the place where you are now is Nangong, and Heavenly Master will rest in Nangong these days." ”

"Who lives in Beigong?"

"It's the Queen Mother."

Xiao Lian looked at Gonggong Chen thoughtfully: "I have heard the name of the Queen Mother's virtuous mother, I wonder if I can meet the Queen Mother at today's dinner?" ”

Gonggong Chen's face froze: "I'm afraid it won't be as the Heavenly Master wants." ”

Gonggong Chen lowered his voice and said, "The Queen Mother has been seriously ill for more than three months. ”

March?

Xiao Lian raised his eyebrows and looked at Gonggong Chen. Three months ago, Xiao Luan mutinied and forced the palace, and Empress Dowager Feng was really sick. Xiao Lian raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "That's really unfortunate." ”

Gonggong Chen smiled respectfully, didn't speak again, and took Xiao Lian along the corridor all the way to the Sanskrit Hall.

The Fanyin Hall is located in the northwest corner of the palace, and you can see the Fanning Pagoda in Luoyang City when you look up. Fanning Pagoda is built on the central axis of Luoyang City, with it as the center, and the north and south palaces are separated. Fanning tower nine-layer floating map, 90 zhang high, the top of the tower golden brake is ten zhang high again, there are 25 golden treasure bottles on the golden brake, there are 11 heavy gold plates under the golden treasure bottle, the golden duo is hung around the turn, and there are four iron chains leading to the four corners of the floating map.

In such a comparison, Xiao Zhaoye's dedication to the pagoda repaired in Chong'an Mausoleum is stingy.

Gonggong Chen took Xiao Lian into the Sanskrit Yin Palace: "The Heavenly Master has been resting recently." Saying that, he summoned a eunuch from outside the hall: "This is Xiao Lizi, the eunuch in charge of the sweeping of the Fanyin Palace." The appearance is a little scary, and the work is still effective, and the important thing is that it is also Han. ”

Xiao Lian raised his eyes and looked at the ugly-looking little plum: "......"

Gonggong Chen said with a smile: "Heavenly Master is not strange, the Fanyin Hall is a little biased, so there are not many people here, and the Heavenly Master will take a break." Before the dinner began, the old slave came to invite the Heavenly Master again. ”

After that, Gonggong Chen withdrew from the Fanyin Hall and closed the door by the way.

Xiao Lian looked at Xiao Lizi funny: "Why are you burying your head when everyone is gone?" ”

"Are you done?"

"It's over."

Xiao Lizi raised his head and let out a sigh. Xiao Lizi has a scar on his face, and it is really ugly.

Xiao Lian found a chair and sat down: "Your surname was Li before?" ”

"Li Fan."

"It's a nice name, why don't you say it?"

Ghost-faced Langjun smiled a little lonely: "I forgot." ”

Xiao Lian lowered his eyes and did not speak. How can you forget your name? It's just that the past is too miserable for me to say my name.

Ghost-faced Langjun asked, "What are you going to do?" I entered the palace a day before you. This palace is even stricter than that in the Nanqi Palace. ”

Xiao Lian nodded: "I saw it, there is a secret guard beside Tuoba Hong." Today in front of the palace gate, I clearly heard the breathing of a few people around me, but there was no one in sight. ”

Ghost-faced Langjun said: "How did you discuss it with Gongziyu?" ”

If a large army is attacking a city, the Dark Guard will hardly work. Just like the day Xiao Luan attacked the city, the secret guards around Xiao Zhaoye were eliminated by Xiao Chen as soon as possible. And even if there was no Xiao Chen at the beginning, a few secret guards did not pose any threat to Xiao Luan at that time. But the assassination is different, the secret guard is the most difficult to deal with, not to mention that if there is a master, it is almost a mortal danger.

I only heard Xiao Lian say calmly: "There is no discussion." ”

Ghost-faced Langjun frowned and looked at Xiao Lian: "No discussion?" How often do you plan to do it? I think it's good, but it's still not very good to live in. ”

Xiao Lian said flatly: "Tonight." ”

？？？

The ghost-faced Langjun looked up at Xiao Lian suddenly: "Big brother, are you kidding?" ”

"We're running out of time." Xiao Lian leaned back in the chair and stretched his long legs forward, as if he was ready to sleep like this.

Ghost-faced Langjun looked at Xiao Lian dumbfounded, he didn't understand why this uncle could be so calm. Is it confident or downcast?

Ghostface is inclined to believe the latter.

After all, if you don't even have a plan, how can you have the face and confidence?

Ghost-faced Langjun put his hands in his sleeves, stood for a long time, and finally raised his feet and walked out.

Xiao Lian's eyebrows raised slightly: "Where are you going?" ”

Ghost-faced Langjun said coldly: "There is a Buddha statue in the Buddha hall in front, I will go to worship." ”

I don't know if it's too late to cram.

Xiao Lian raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "You don't have to go with me to the dinner tonight." ”

The ghost-faced Langjun turned around to look at Xiao Lian, his hand still in his sleeve: "Nonsense!" I am now a eunuch cleaning the temple of Brahman. How can I go to the palace banquet? But if I can't go, won't I leave you alone? ”

Xiao Lian folded his hands behind his head and smiled informably: "Listen to your tone like my father." ”

"Eh, son, you're right to have this awareness."

Xiao Lian picked up a silver cup and threw it at Ghost Face Langjun. Ghost-faced Langjun jumped to the side to dodge: "Tell me what you plan to do?" You don't want to jump up and cut Tuoba Hong directly at the palace banquet, do you? ”

Xiao Lian nodded seriously: "I have thought so." ”

"......" Ghost-faced Langjun: "Big brother, let's not talk about whether you can get close to Tuoba Hong, let's just say that you can enter the palace for a banquet, you can't even bring a knife, what should you do?" Rush up and strangle him? ”

Xiao Lian looked back at the ghost-faced Langjun: "Do you have medicine?" ”

Ghost-faced Langjun nodded: "Yes, yes, I specially made this medicine to be sugar-coated and stuck near the back molars, swallow it when necessary to ensure that you will ascend to heaven immediately, and you will definitely not be painful to die." ”

Xiao Lian looked at the ghost-faced Lang Jun angrily and smiled: "I mean the Immortal Jade Dew Pill." ”

Ghost-faced Langjun frowned and looked at Xiao Lian and said, "Yes, yes, but what do you want that thing for?" Not to mention that that thing poisons people. I don't believe that Tuoba Hong has not heard of the Immortal Jade Dew Pill, and the two emperors of Daqi died in a row have so much to do with this medicine......"

"Isn't that your credit?"

"......" Ghost-faced Langjun waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you have my medicine or not, didn't Xiao Zhaoye also go to eat Wushisan without my medicine?" “

"That medicine is not for Tuoba Hong."

"To whom?"

"Tuobasui."

"Who is Tuoba?" Ghost-faced Langjun was quietly sent into the palace at night. After entering the palace, he waited for Xiao Lian in the Fanyin Palace, and he didn't know anything else.

Xiao Lian smiled coldly: "It's just a bear child." ”

Xiao Lian said to the ghost-faced Langjun: "Later, you go to Gonggong Chen and ask him to spread a message in the palace, saying that I will dedicate the elixir of Southern Qi to the emperor." I deliberately asked Gonggong Chen to emphasize that it was the elixir that Emperor Wu and King Yulin both loved to take. ”

Ghost-faced Langjun frowned and said, "You're not afraid that Tuoba Hong will punish your crimes?" ”

Xiao Lian lowered his eyes and said, "Your medicine also sells well in the Northern Wei Dynasty, right?" ”

Ghost-faced Langjun showed a somewhat embarrassed look: "What sells well?" ”

"All the ones you brought to Southern Qinzhou fell into the river?"

"......" Ghost-faced Langjun: "Xiao Yuanda hates these things, I sold them at a low price." There are only a few bottles left. ”

"Emperor Wu's funeral, King Yulin is ridiculous, the Northern Wei Dynasty will not have heard of it, but your medicine can still be sold, which shows that the rumors are not only as simple as this medicine will harm people, there must be something else."

The ghost-faced Langjun was puzzled: "Tuoba is the prince, right?" Could it be that Tuoba Hong would give such a thing to Tuoba Hong? ”

"Tuoba Hong won't give it to Tuoba Sui, but Tuoba will definitely take it himself."

"You want to wait for something to happen to Tuoba?"

Xiao Lian nodded: "Tuoba Yu returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Hong has strengthened his vigilance, and it is impossible to do it in the main hall." I only have a chance when there is chaos in the palace. But I didn't have time to wait, so I had to make a mess myself. ”

Ghost-faced Langjun took out the Immortal Jade Dew Pill from his sleeve and put it in Xiao Lian's hand: "You take it." But according to you, I think the effect of using aphrodisiacs is similar. Remember Mrs. Mei? When it was high and tide, a needle pierced into the dumb door acupoint, and it was very refreshing to die. “

Xiao Lian glanced at the ghost-faced Langjun: "Then you are going to find a woman at this time?" Or do you just do it yourself? ”

Ghost-faced Langjun rolled his eyes: "Even if I want to go on my own, people won't necessarily eat my one." ”

Xiao Lian put the Immortal Jade Dew Pill into his sleeve pocket and said seriously: "Once there is chaos in the palace, you will take advantage of the chaos to get out of the palace and find a way to go back to Nanqi." ”

The corners of Ghost-faced Langjun's mouth sank slightly: "Don't worry, I regret my life the most." I'm different from you, you are a person like you who can't take your life seriously, I can't learn it, and I don't bother to save it. ”

Xiao Lian smiled heartily: "That's good." ”

Ghost-faced Langjun frowned and looked at Xiao Lian: "She's really that important?" You must know that even if there is chaos in the palace, you will also deal with thousands of troops and horses by yourself. Tuoba Hong is the emperor, and he is still an emperor who has been fighting for power with the queen mother for so many years, and only took back power a few years ago. He's not a useless dumbfounder. ”

Ghost-faced Langjun is right, Tuoba Hong is different from the old Xiao Zhen and the young Xiao Zhaoye. Tuoba Hong is in the prime of life, not old and faint, nor young and frivolous. He is alert and calm, which is when it is the most difficult to deal with.

Xiao Lian said in a deep voice: "I know. ”

The ghost-faced Lang Jun looked at Xiao Lian quietly: "There may be no return for this trip." ”

Xiao Lian smiled lightly: "You're right. ”

"Is it really that important?"

"Yes." Xiao Lian raised his head and looked at the ghost-faced Langjun: "If you can't even protect the person you like, what kind of man am I?" If I can't give wholeheartedly in the face of the people I like, what's the point of my life? ”

"But she wouldn't know."

Xiao Lian looked up at the heavy twilight pressing on the top of Fanning Tower, and smiled slightly: "So what does it matter?" Isn't it good for people to live a lifetime to be worthy of their own hearts? ”
