"That's it, I'll tell you the truth, when I was a child, there was a fire in my house, and this half of my face was burned in the fire, and it still looks horrible. I had no choice but to cover it with a mask. ”

After hearing this, Su Jiu couldn't help but touch his face with pity.

How painful it must be when the fire burns on the flesh and skin!

Her crystal clear eyes were filled with tears, and she whispered, "It must have hurt at the time, right?" ”

Tears fell on the back of Xiao Tingchen's hand, and he was stunned.

Su Jiu hugged his waist and gently pressed his face against his chest, "But the pain of Lord Fusheng has passed, and from now on, you will always be happy!" ”

She's so soft.

Xiao Tingchen hugged her like a feather.

"Floating Lady!" Su Jiu suddenly thought of something, and raised his bright eyes again, "Is your mother still alive?" Do I need to visit her? ”

Xiao Tingchen looked at her.

Such clean eyes, reflected, full of him.

He's the one she's putting on the tip of her heart.

He liked her very much and wanted to take her to see Xue, but he knew he couldn't.

So he shook his head, "I'm no longer alive." ”

Su Jiu was a little melancholy, "Then you don't have any relatives?" ”

“…… No. ”

"It's pitiful, but it's okay, from now on, I will always be with you!"

The girl's eyes are like crescent moons, and the dimples are as sweet as if they are full of sweet honey.

Xiao Tingchen was silent.

Su Jiu got into the carriage and walked far away, still smiling and waving goodbye to him, his little face was full of reluctance.

Xiao Tingchen is still standing on the mountain,

The early winter sun was lazy and brilliant, and it was supposed to be a warm afternoon.

But why......

Couldn't he be happy?

If you tell a lie, you need to use countless lies to round it up.

He didn't dare to imagine what Su Xiaojiu would do to him if one day, Su Xiaojiu knew that Fu Shengjun was her bad brother.

Sighs spread in the wind.

The boy folded off a white velvet mountain cotton and played with it down the mountain.

……

Twilight is getting late.

In the painting boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River, more than a dozen men from the far north of Liang, burly, are drinking wine and eating meat with a flower girl in their arms.

The attendant rolled up the bamboo curtain, and the man in the Taoist robe with long hair curly smiled and came in with an umbrella.

It's Su Runmo.

Su Runmo looked at the young strong man in the center, he hadn't seen him for several years, he was even taller and straighter, the thick animal skin coat was halfway open, and the muscular chest was faintly covered with chest hair.

He is equipped with a half-moon knife around his waist, and the palm of his hand holding the waist of the beauty is covered with thick calluses, which shows that he has never slackened in kung fu on weekdays.

is worthy of being the eldest son of the king of Beiliang.

But if Su Jiu is here, she will find out that they are the people of the puppet troupe who have a relationship with her.

"Your Highness."

Su Runmo gave up.

A young strong man in his twenties raised his eyes and glanced at him, "If you come to see this king with such a big grin, you are not afraid that Yuan Xu will find out?" ”

"Yuan Xu now trusts Chen very much. Tonight, he will hold a birthday banquet for Lu Jiaoyi in Fenghuatai, which will be a good opportunity for us to start. ”

"Bang!"

The wine jar was smashed out by the young strong man and shattered into slag at Su Runmo's feet.

The crystal wine trickled all over the ground, splashing his inky blue robe.

He smiled and sat down, "What's upset about Your Highness?" ”

"You're by Yuan Xu's side, don't you have a chance to start?!" The young strong man's eyes were full of murder, "Did you betray Bei Liang?!" ”

Su Runmo lay down in his heart with one hand and owed him a debt, "Your Highness's words are wrong. Before coming to Jiangnan, I had already traveled through the mountains and rivers in the north of Daqi, and I knew the map of the north well. After that, he served as the Jiangnan Transit Envoy for five years, and he completed all the rivers and terrain in Jiangnan. The leylines, towns, and defenses of Daqi have all been drawn on my drawings. This map is of great value to Beiliang. In the future, Beiliang will be able to use it to defeat Daqi. How could I, who worked hard for the great cause of Beiliang, betray Beiliang? ”

There was silence in the boat.

Su Runmo smiled and poured wine for them, "Yuan Xu is stubborn for his own use, thinking that the guards of the East Palace are omnipotent, and he thinks that Wu Song can protect him, so he left the Xu Mansion without any scruples and was on his way to Fenghuatai. Tonight is a great opportunity to assassinate him, as long as Your Highness gets his head, Emperor Beiliang can justifiably make you the heir. ”

Beiliang is different from Daqi in that they do not pay attention to the eldest son as the heir, but on merit to establish the heir.

For this young prince, what he needed was a great achievement, a great achievement enough to convince all the ministers of Beiliang of his ability.

Like what

Obtain the head of the crown prince of Daqi.

He picked up the wine poured by Su Runmo, tasted a few sips, and pondered for a while, and finally agreed to Su Runmo's proposal.

Su Runmo smiled and filled them with wine again, "This is the case, I will also follow His Highness back to Beiliang." What awaits us is about the unparalleled glory of this life, right? I would like to follow His Highness for the rest of my life. ”

He speaks as movingly as a flower.

The smile is as warm as a spring breeze, which makes the young strong man convinced, as if ascending to the throne of Beiliang is like a bag to get something, it is easy.

He agreed to Su Runmo's proposal.

……

When night fell, the banks of the Qinhuai River were already lively.

In the long river, the sunset is swaying, and countless carved and jade painting boats are moored on the riverbank, and one of the large boats with a six-story building is the most splendid.

The big ship occupies a very wide area, from the shore it looks gilded, and the maids behind the carved railing are towering and coming and going, like immortals in the glow.

A plaque is hung high on the small building, and the three majestic words of "Fenghuatai" are written in large books.

This place is a restaurant renovated from Fenghuatai, which Yan Chitose used to accumulate gold and silver beauties.

Xiao Tingchen built Fenghuatai into the premier gold cave in the south of the Yangtze River, where the maids are very good, the food is very good, the tea and wine are also very good, there is only one shortcoming-

Expensive!

But the more expensive it is, the more those dignitaries like it, as if only by holding a banquet here can they prove their status.

Su Jiu, Zhou Baojin and Xu Nuanyue stepped into the hall and saw Lu Jiaoyi holding the moon in the stars, showing off to the other girls.
