"Who knows?" Shili poured water into the kettle, his brows furrowed, "Are we really going to pass through that village?" They all say that there is a plague in it, what if it is infected? ”

Chang Le wrinkled his eyebrows and lowered his head, took out the ruby chain, touched it, and said, "You have to pass from there, the road to Penglai Valley is behind that village." ”

Si Boyan comforted: "Just pass by and don't stop, there must be no problem." Doesn't it mean that you can only be okay if you come into contact with someone who has the plague or is bitten by the bug? When you go in, be careful. ”

"It's really strange, why is there a perennial plague village outside Penglai Valley?" Seeing that Wuze had lit the fire, Shili immediately put the kettle on top of the stove, "Didn't you say that there are all kinds of strange medicinal herbs in Penglai Valley?" Surely there is also a cure for the plague? ”

"Who knows? Besides, don't you know where Penglai Valley is? It should also be normal to not be able to get medicine. Chang Le shrugged helplessly, "Perhaps, we can bring them some medicine when we come out of Penglai Valley to get rid of the plague." ”

"Yes, I don't know where Penglai Valley is, how do you know Ah Chang?"

Shili turned his head and asked, seeing that the three of them were stunned, and asked Wuze and Si Boyan again.

"Didn't any of you ever suspect her? If you go with Ah Chang so directly, you are not afraid that she will pit us. ”

Wu Ze and Si Boyan both glanced at Chang Le, but they were both silent. Among the four people, the only one who doesn't know the existence of Baili is Shili's descendant.

Chang Le coughed and said, "I dreamed that I had seen the immortals, and the immortals told me." ”

Shili immediately understood, received Chang Le's gaze hint, quickly looked at Si Boyan and Wuze, and quickly lowered his head, panicking and making a sudden realization.

"Oh, I see."

Among the four people, only Si Boyan didn't know that Chang Le's soul was not the soul of the original owner.

As a person who knows both things, Wu Ze understands that Chang Le is deliberately confusing Shili, and still silently controls the fire in the furnace.

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound in the sky, and a white shadow flew towards them. Wu Ze raised his head vigilantly and found that it was a white pigeon, and the white pigeon landed on Si Boyan's shoulder, so he let down his vigilance.

Along the way, Si Boyan often received carrier pigeons, and occasionally wrote back.

Chang Le looked at the white carrier pigeon and said curiously: "This carrier pigeon can really transmit messages?" Is it really flying back and forth between us and Keitu every time? ”

"Although the carrier pigeon knows the way, it does not have such great ability."

Si Boyan laughed, took the carrier pigeon from his shoulder, untied the letter box tied to his leg, and put the pigeon next to him. The white dove was also obedient, and it was bouncing up and down on the ground.

"There are turning points on the road, this is a secret, I don't want you to elaborate."

Chang Le sighed and said, "Okay." ”

Si Boyan unfolded the note, and a few words were written on it.

"The fish will be hooked, may you be safe."

After seeing it, Si Boyan threw it into the fire, and it was burned to ashes in an instant. Reaching out and patting the pigeon on the back, the pigeon immediately flapped its wings and flew away.

……

Guidu, Mandarin Duck Tower, Qu Pavilion.

Staggered, singing and dancing.

King Huai sat on the upper seat, the best girls in the Mandarin Duck Tower on the left and right, and a few officials were accompanied, talking and laughing, so happy.

"King Huai, the lower official will give you a drink." As he spoke, the official picked up his wine glass and stood up to face King Huai.

Huai Wang frowned, and pinched the wine glass on the table with his hand, and still hugged the girl with his other hand, and lifted it from afar. Looking at the other party and drinking, the peach blossom eyes narrowed, hooked his lips and smiled, and drank all the wine in the cup.

The official immediately laughed and began to praise the king in various ways, which sounded exaggerated.

The house was being merry and merry, when a sudden sound of obstruction sounded outside.

"Prime Minister, King Huai is inside, you can't break in!"

"The prime minister is here!"

Hearing the prime minister, the faces of the officials who accompanied the wine changed. The prime minister is the most stern, and he is honest and honest, if he is allowed to flatter the king when he sees them here, they will lose their black gauze hats.

King Huai raised his eyebrows, he didn't care at all, he only drank his own.

"Get out of here!"

The Prime Minister's roar rang out outside. The next moment, the door was kicked open, and the prime minister stood at the door with an angry face. The sound inside stopped abruptly, and the silent pins could be heard, and the officials just flinched, and they almost went under the table.

King Huai didn't even look at the prime minister, pinched the cup and pointed at everyone, and said unhappily: "Why don't you jump?" And you guys, keep pulling the bullet. Zhang Shilang, let's continue to drink. ”

"King Huai, you are now the acting prisoner of the country, how can you leave state affairs alone and let loose here?" The prime minister rushed to the table in a few steps and glanced at everyone, "Why don't you get out of here?" ”

The men flinched, and immediately ran away with their necks bent. Although King Huai is now the acting prisoner of the country, it is the prime minister who really holds the real power, and they would rather offend King Huai than offend the prime minister.

King Huai looked at the people who had slipped out of the door in a hurry, and threw the cup on the table.

"Every time someone comes to ruin the fun, this king is so much fun, can't he have fun anymore?"

Feeling King Huai's displeasure, people were worried that the two of them would be tense in the next moment, and the others left as fast as they could, and closed the door. I didn't dare to linger at the door for a moment.

And the door, as well as the people in the left and right rooms, have been occupied by the prime minister's people, and no one can approach them at all.

Seeing that the miscellaneous people had left, most of the prime minister's fire had been extinguished, and he sat down in front of King Huai with a serious face.

"King Huai is now the acting superintendent of the country, and he should handle state affairs well, even if it is pleasant, he should not come to this kind of place again."

King Huai glanced at the prime minister, and turned his head to smile brightly.

"Isn't all state affairs handled by prime ministers? The king got it after looking at it twice, and how to do it is arranged by the prime minister. ”

The prime minister sighed and said earnestly: "King Huai, why are you so depraved? Thinking of King Huai, he was so talented and intelligent that even the emperor was full of praise. ”

King Huai's eyes sank, and he said in a low voice: "That was already back then, so there is no need to mention it again." Today's king just wants to eat, drink and be merry. ”

"King Huai is so depraved now, hasn't he lived up to the expectations of the former emperor and Concubine Yuan?" The prime minister said bitterly, "The death of Concubine Zhiyuan has dealt a huge blow to King Huai. But this harem matter, in all dynasties, due to the struggle for the throne, led to the sacrifice of many people, isn't this normal? King Huai has been in the palace since he was a child, and he is familiar with history books, so he should not be surprised by these, so why should he be obsessed with it for so many years? ”

"Isn't that weird?"

King Huai looked at the prime minister, hooked his lips and smiled, and the bottom of his peach blossom eyes was a trace of anger and endless sadness.

"Then why is it the king's mother who is sacrificed? Who in the world doesn't know the purity of the mother? The mother concubine also wholeheartedly supports His Majesty as the king, how could she ever have the heart to seek the throne? ”

"The world knows these things, but this battle for the throne is always afraid of what happens." The prime minister suddenly lowered his eyes, and his face was extremely vicissitudes, "In any case, now that there are no more worries, King Huai should also cheer up and take care of this great clan for His Majesty." ”

King Huai sneered: "His world is not the king's, why should the king take care of him?" If he manages too much, will he be mistaken for thinking that this king has the intention of seeking power and usurping the throne? ”

"King Huai, be cautious and careful when you speak, don't talk nonsense at will." The prime minister twisted his eyebrows and said, "No matter what King Huai says, he is also a member of the royal family, so he will do his best to assist His Majesty." Now that His Majesty has no children, there is no one to take care of the kingdom when he has something to rest or go out. At this time, King Huai should take the initiative to bear it for His Majesty. ”

"You don't talk much to this king here, what do you mean by that? What did you think of this king? ”

King Huai glared at him with disdain.

"This king is a person, not something that their family can take if they want to use it, and throw it away if they don't use it! Back then, he was afraid that I would fight for the throne, so he killed my mother and forced me to leave the palace. Now that he has no heirs, he wants this king to marry a concubine and have children, and pass them on to His Majesty to continue the succession to the throne. He is not feeling well now and goes to Lishan, and he wants this king to be conscientious and diligent in governing the country. Isn't this too much? ”

The prime minister's emotions were aroused when he saw King Huai, and he didn't say anything more, but just took two clean cups from the side, picked up the wine jugs that were still full, and poured them one by one.

"The minister knows that it is difficult to conceive the king, but this is fate, it is a rule set by the ancestors."

The prime minister handed a wine glass to King Huai, and when he took it, he drank it first. After drinking, he glanced at the wine glass, and found that King Huai was holding the wine glass with a gloomy face, his eyes turned slightly, and he gently lowered the wine glass.

"The minister just pities King Huai, King Huai is really what the minister has seen, it is rare to meet a talent in the ages, it should not be buried, it should not be buried for more than ten years."

"Destiny ......"

King Huai muttered and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Isn't this king not from the queen? Why should you be humiliated like this? He knew that his mother was murdered, but he never told me for so many years, and in the end, he had to shield the person who killed his mother. I treated him like a concubine with my mother, but he only treated us as usurpers who wanted to seek power and usurp the throne......"

"It's in the king's nature to be suspicious. Xiangchen's younger brother was only dedicated to opening up the territory and expanding the world for the emperor, and he never had the heart of rebellion, and he gave everything he gained. The prime minister said, covering half of his face to hide his sadness, "As a result, isn't it suspected?" ”

King Huai tilted his head to look at the prime minister, lost in thought.

The prime minister raised his head slightly, just facing King Huai, and his eyes were full of unwilling to fight. The prime minister's face was gloomy, and he spoke meaningfully.

"Huai Wang, the hardships of the hardships he endured, he will be a master, and now he will definitely get what he deserves one day. The minister is willing to help King Huai through these hardships, so King Huai will not be depressed here, and do what he should do. ”

King Huai looked at him in astonishment, and then looked at him with suspicion.

"Why are you helping this king? Speaking of which, you and Your Majesty are only related by marriage. ”

"The in-laws with the royal family have always been just talking."

The prime minister took a sip of wine, turned the glass thoughtfully, and placed the cup firmly on the table, his eyes full of coldness and a little indifference.

"Why did the minister help King Huai, just because you and I have the same experience. The minister is already old, and he has no children under his knees, and some things have passed. But King Huai, you are still young, you shouldn't just accept your fate and degenerate, and ruin your whole life. The ministers helped the king, just to make up for the debt to his younger brother. If I had been able to hold on a little longer, the emperor might not have thought of going to the Xiyi Kingdoms, and my younger brother would not have died tragically. ”
