Before the winter, there were dark clouds for days, but it did not rain much.

On the first month of the hook, a man with a long body stood quietly for a long time in front of an ancient acacia with a canopy in the vestibule, at this time the rain sound was temporarily stopped, the fine willow breeze, the moon did not move, and the people did not move, until Lu Lin rushed over.

"Senior brother, why are you stunned? Nian Yi and Nian Chu have already arrived, and they are dismounting in front of the door, leaving, and talking to them. Lu Lin's face was full of spring breeze, looking at the age of only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had not yet faded the immaturity of a child, but his heroic posture was extraordinary and amiable.

The man who was called by Lu Lin as a senior brother unhurriedly tucked a short letter into his narrow sleeve, and then turned around halfway.

I saw that his eyebrows were soothing, his eyes were like stars, and his long black hair was only tied up with a silver crown. He was dressed in a royal blue satin robe, only the neckline and sleeves and wrists were rolled with silk threads with a double layer of flowing cloud golden chrysanthemums, a jade silk silk was tied around his waist, and a gold seal hanging between the folds of his clothes loomed. Although he was dressed plainly in the royal palace, between his eyebrows, the emperor's aura did not diminish in the slightest.

He is the eldest son of Xiahou Chen, the founding emperor of Beichen Kingdom, the crown prince of the dynasty, and is called Xiahou Wuyu.

At that time, the world was divided into three parts, and the north of the Yangtze River was Beichen, with a vast territory, civil and military affairs, and the people of Wufu; And south of the Yangtze River and the coast of the South China Sea, the earth is warm and warm, and the smoke and rain are ethereal, which is for the southern Rongguo; Along the Yangtze River, at its source, looking at the northwest land, the large and small tribes, the Gobi steppe, in recent years, have been subdued and unified by the Xilang people.

Ten years ago, when Xiahou Wuyu was in the year of his grandfather, under the instruction of Xiahou Chen, he worshiped the great martial arts faction - the Wumeng faction Phoenix Sword Sect Lu Police Yu, in order to become the senior brother of Lu Lin, Nian Yi, Nian Chu and others.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Lu!" Nian Yi and Nian Chu ran over from afar.

Among the disciples of the Wumeng Sect, Lu Lin was proficient in medical pharmacology, while Nian Yi and Nian Chu concentrated on martial arts, and won the true inheritance of the supreme sword formation of the Phoenix Sword Sect - the Innate Five Tai Swords, which stood out the most among the disciples.

Lu Lin is the son of Lu Police Yu's eldest brother, and this list is one word, so although he reads the word line two, he often hides the word "reading", and still calls the original name. And Xiahou Wuyu is a royal disciple with a special status, and he is not among the disciples who give him a name.

Without waiting to stop, Nian Chu hurriedly said: "Nian Chu and I were ordered by the master to clean up the hidden piles set up by Wei He outside Yangzhou Mansion before coming. Wei He's dog thief is really ruthless this time, this time the senior brother secretly went south, this Wei Da Prime Minister actually got the news and sent hundreds of dead soldiers to ambush along the way! ”

He paused and said, "Stinky shameless!" ”

Nian Yi said: "Yes, most of our army is guarding the middle reaches, and Yangzhou Mansion is the weakest place of the royal guards on the east bank of the Yangtze River. ”

Xiahou Wuyu smiled and said: "I was careless, fortunately, you Senior Brother Lu are clever, and Wei He's useless house slaves were dumped by us as soon as they left the imperial capital." ”

At that moment, the four brothers walked into the inner courtyard hand in hand, and Lu Lin was very excited to see the two junior brothers, and talked about interesting things along the road.

"You came from the Western Regions, you are busy on the road, I really don't know how many strange things and martial arts you have missed! My brother and I went south this time, and we saw and heard a lot on the way! For example, Yicheng will defend the city with infinite strength, and one palm can split ten giant cypresses, and the prince of King Xuan of Nanrong is going to hold a national martial arts competition......"

Nian Chu hurriedly said: "Say it quickly, we were ordered by the master to guard the medicinal materials from Kunlun Mountain, and we didn't dare to say more than half a word to others along the way, and I don't know how many friends we have made, but it's really suffocating me!" ”

Lu Lin pretended to be straight and said: "It's a pity that what I'm going to say next, I'm afraid you're not interested." ”

Nian Yi said: "Senior brother, don't sell Guanzi, Nian Chu has to be anxious to hug the big tree and gnaw the bark after a while." ”

Lu Lin laughed and said, "Okay, okay, this matter is not big, and it is really not small to say that it is small." Before leaving Beijing, Xu is palace lady showed her mouth, and somehow the news came out, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already performed the crown ceremony, and the matter of choosing a concubine could be put on the agenda......"

Before Lu Lin, who shook his head and pretended to be pretty, finished speaking, Nian Yi, Nian Chu, you look at me, I look at you, his face is red, and he laughs.

Nian Chu clapped his hands and shouted: "Senior Brother Wei Dao is still not afraid of the wind and rain to go south to the border city in this autumn, I think I am not at ease with the eyes of the ladies in the palace, and I want to choose my wife in person!" ”

Lu Lin glanced at Xiahou Wuyu, saw that he was slightly embarrassed, and continued to quip: "I heard that there is a family surnamed Yun in Qiantang County on the west bank, which is said to be a local big salt merchant, and his financial resources are not comparable to ordinary officials and businessmen. ”

Xiahou Wuyu hurriedly said: "Lu Lin, Miss Yun is still in the boudoir, but it's not you and me who are talking about it." ”

Lu Lin spoke energetically, ignoring Xiahou Wuyu's stopping, and still said: "We originally only listened, how could the young lady in the boudoir be seen by others?" It must be the Yun family's own boasting. Yangzhou is only a river away from Qiantang, I want to see if they brag or not! ”

Nian Yi said: "Although there is only one river, it is the difference between the two countries, and now the war between the two countries is imminent, and Xilang's attitude is ambiguous, how can we cross the river so easily?" ”

Lu Lin only felt that he was interested, he was usually high-spirited, and he never put the rumored Nanrong people with a soft posture and weak speech in his eyes, so he shouted: "A river is just nothing, what is it in front of my Beichen army." ”

He was not rash and arrogant. Five years ago, Emperor Beichen personally led an army of one million to the south from the north of the Yellow River, all the way to the wind and horses, forcing the royal family of Nanrong Kingdom to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. Later, Emperor Beichen moved the capital to Luoyang, and deployed a large army to entrench on the banks of the Yangtze River for a long time.

Xiahou Wuyu had no intention of continuing this topic, and when he saw this scene, he said: "Don't mention the matter of Qiantang in the future, in the final analysis, my marriage is not important to me, it is just a tool used by others to check and balance each other." A manly man, making contributions is the top priority. ”

Nian Yi nodded, stretched out two fingers and gently pulled the corners of Lu Lin's clothes, Lu Lin raised his head and said, "Okay!" Then we'll fight across the river! ”

Xiahou Wuyu said with a smile: "In the past, His Majesty wanted to grant you a military rank and let you go to the Zhennan Army to temper and temper, but you refused, saying that you were free to walk the rivers and lakes, and you would never be detained, but now you are shouting all day long to attack Nanrong." ”

Before the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly arose under the corridor where everyone was standing, and with a torrent of rain, it wet everyone's sideburns, and the chill increased sharply. Xiahou had no trouble with the attack of the old disease, and it was difficult to hide the congestion in his chest for a while, so he took a side of Supa to cover his mouth and nose and coughed a few times.

Immediately, General Chi Jian, the commander of the Prince's Mansion's personal guards, sent a ruby green peacock feather silk cloak and said: "Your Highness, the bamboo green cloak was cut when the Yangzhou Mansion was intercepted and killed, and in addition to the bright yellow one in the treasury, only this one is simple. ”

Xiahou Wuyu let out a "hmm" and put it on as he said.

Lu Lin put away his chin raised high, turned to Xiahou Wuyu, and said with concern: "Senior brother has been taking the new recipe I have prepared for some time, and his asthma has not yet improved?" ”

Chi Jian said expressionlessly: "His Royal Highness's asthma has been brought about since birth, and he is congenitally deficient, so I am afraid it will be difficult to heal." ”

Lu Lin said: "Senior brother, why are your guards still so desperate to speak?" He raised the jade flute in his hand and knocked on Chi Jian's shoulder, and quipped: "Be careful when His Majesty the Emperor hears you say that his son is congenitally deficient, then you can bear it!" ”

When Master Chi Jian heard this, he was unmoved, standing behind his master like a sculpture, his expression was cold, his eyebrows were lowered, and he did not seem to have repented or lost his words.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was rumored to be congenitally deficient, did not think it was wrong, and said: "My asthma was brought from my mother's womb, and it doesn't hurt to get used to it." ”

He sighed lightly, unconsciously rubbed the inconspicuous gold seal on his waist, and said: "It turns out that it is the cold dew season so soon, and it has been two years since the queen mother died because of this asthma immortal. ”
