When everyone returned to Chendangguan, it was already noon, the early summer sun was a little hot, and every brick on the city wall was exuding heat, Li Shimin stood on the city wall and waited for the group to come back.

Everyone was a little surprised to see Li Shimin waiting in the city in person, and after respectfully saluting, Li Shimin took Wanyan's hand and let Wanyan stand beside him. He also said to the people in front of him: "The battle of Chendangguan was fought hard, you were sad and sad a few days ago, and you were injured, and I haven't come to set up a banquet to celebrate your achievements and wash the dust for the two generals Liuning and Liubin. I'd like to host a banquet for you tonight. ”

However, everyone is not a person who likes to staggered and feast, but the emperor's order must not be violated, and he was hesitating to thank him, but he heard Wanyan beside the emperor say: "Your Majesty, General Yang Huai's new funeral is not more than three seven, and the concubine and Liuning Liubin have a deep relationship with General Yang Huai since childhood, and I feel that it is a little inappropriate to hold a banquet at this time." ”

Li Shimin pondered in his heart for a while, and felt that Wanyan's words were reasonable, so he patted Wanyan's hand and said: "What Concubine Ai said is reasonable, I have heard of General Yang's mighty name, and I am jealous of talent, and I am also deeply heartbroken, I know that you have deep feelings, but unfortunately the deceased has passed away, and the living are still mourning and changing." After saying this, he left with Wanyan.

Everyone was a little surprised in their hearts, Wanyan Niangniang, she has always been close to everyone on the surface, but in fact she is estranged, there seems to be a mustard, but she doesn't know what it is, but today she is thoughtful in front of the emperor as if she is through everyone's minds, it is really strange and rare, but Zhao Nan secretly thought in her heart, it turns out that Wanyan has occupied such an important position and can influence the decision of an emperor.

After the emperor left, the group relaxed a lot, went back to the camp to get the wine and tableware, found a secluded place, spread a big cloth, everyone sat on the ground, put the wine and food, divided the cups, before everyone raised their glasses, they first went to the ground to two glasses of wine, one to Yang Huai, one to Nangong Lin, to mourn.

The sad atmosphere for many days finally dissolved, Liuning always served dishes for Tang Changyu, and Tang Changyu always gave the delicious clips in the bowl to Liuning, the two of them came and went from time to time to make the other three people disgusted too tired, but they secretly envied in their hearts, a glass of wine, only chatting about happy things, and Zhao Nan, a pistachio who would adjust the atmosphere and amuse everyone, told a joke from time to time to make everyone laugh, only to make everyone feel that they had not been so happy for a long time.

Although this meal is not as expensive as a royal banquet, it is particularly comfortable and cheerful because of the lovers, friends, and exquisite things that exist in the essence of mountains and rivers. Ding Chuchu only felt that he hadn't been so happy for a long time, and shouted as if he had returned to the carefree and happy days when he was a child.

Full of wine and food, the five of them lay on the grass under the shade of the trees, the tender grass scratched their necks intentionally or unintentionally, looking at the blue sky from time to time floating a few white clouds of different shapes, and their hearts were extremely calm and comfortable. Zhao Nan couldn't stay idle, sat up suddenly, and said to everyone with a smile: "Changyu, Liubin, why don't the three of us worship here as brothers." ”

Hearing this, Liubin sat up quickly, slapped the grass with his palm, and pretended to be solemn and said to Zhao Nan: "How can this be!" Originally, Changyu should have called me brother-in-law respectfully, but now if I bow down, wouldn't I call him brother aggrievedly? I'm thankful for that! Sister, do you say yes! Although Liubin said this, he couldn't hide the smile in his peach blossom eyes.

When everyone heard this, they got up, Tang Changyu grabbed a handful of grass and threw it at Liubin, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, brother-in-law, is it so aggrieved to call me a big brother, hahaha." After speaking, he looked at Liuning with a smile, Liuning was a little shy between his eyebrows and eyes by Tang Changyu, but he still couldn't help laughing, laughed, and answered Liubin with a happy smile, I have no opinion, and I don't think you are wronged.

Liubin heard his sister's laughter, and then he felt really wronged, can the two of you and me win, I am really asking myself to ask such a question, Liubin glanced at Liuning with a little disgust and helplessness, and muttered to himself: "Alas, it was really the water splashed by the married sister, and the elbow turned so far so quickly." ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed even more presumptuously, Ding Chuchu laughed while shouting to Zhao Nan: "Stinky boy, aunt and grandmother, I also want to bow to you, and I want it too." ”

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately denied by Zhao Nan, and Zhao Nan said with disgust: "What are you mixing with a little girl, go and get us wine." Ding Chuchu pursed his lips unhappily when he heard this, and then happily went to get the bowl and poured three glasses of wine in front of the three of them. In this suburban place, there was no pen and paper, so Liu Ning used a knife to carve the names of the three people on the tree to replace Jin Lanpu.

I saw three handsome young men kneeling under the tree, solemnly holding the wine, a white-clothed and gentle eldest brother Tang Changyu, a feminine and handsome second brother with shining eyes, and a strong and iron-boned bohemian third brother Zhao Nan, what a pleasing scene, together swore to heaven and earth: the emperor is above, the thick soil is the proof, I Tang Changyu, Liubin, Zhao Nan, like-minded, today I am willing to marry Jinlan, from now on to become brothers with different surnames, treat each other with all sincerity, share honor and disgrace, do not seek to be born in the same year, the same month, the same day, but the same year, the same month and the same day to die.

After saying that, the three of them cut their hands with knives, dripped blood into the wine, and drank the wine in a big gulp. Zhao Nan even waved the empty bowl, and shouted at Tang Changyu and Liubin with a smile: "You guys, you are not allowed to call me third brother, call me third brother, do you know the third brother!" ”

Everyone was amused by Zhao Nan's funny appearance, and they all grinned and said together: "Yes, yes, third brother, third brother~" The laughter rippled in the thick summer heatwave, swirling into a rare breeze, which finally swept away the haze that could not be dissolved before, but it was difficult to catch it.

At night, the cicadas chirp and frog noise, but because of the continuous strong sunlight finally faded and got a trace of clarity, it is always said that there are stars and no moon, but today is rare, a round of full moon hangs in the sky, and a little bit of stars flow to reflect each other. Liuning sat in the courtyard and quietly enjoyed the rare calm of the night, waiting quietly.

This afternoon, everyone was full of wine and food, and when they were in a happy mood, when they dispersed, Tang Changyu took Liuning to send her back, and said to Liuning before leaving: "Tonight, wait for me, I will take you to a place." ”

Liuning nodded obediently, Tang Changyu combed the broken hair in front of Liuning's forehead, kissed Liuning's forehead, smiled slightly and turned to leave, but left a piece of warmth in Liuning's heart. The night was like water, the fireflies danced lightly, Liuning only heard the sound of a flute, it seemed that there was only a wall away from him, and there was a burst of excitement and joy in his heart, even the deep night could not hide the flickering light in Liuning's eyes.
