The emperor went to Yanfei Palace for five consecutive days, but the more this happened, the more worried and scared Concubine Wang Shu became, so in the past five days, she continued to learn self-defense techniques from Qingzhi and constantly discussed the future path with Xie Fanghua.

On this day, the weather was sunny, and there were two people sitting in the courtyard of Yan Fei Palace. The one on the left of the stone table is wearing a rose-red palace dress is Xie Fanghua, and the one on the right is Wang Shufei wearing pink makeup.

"Fanghua, I didn't understand the self-defense technique that Qingzhi taught me yesterday, can you let her teach me again?" Concubine Wang Shufei poured Xie Fanghua a glass of water, handed it to her, and smiled slightly.

Xie Fanghua took the water and thanked him, took a sip, and said with a shallow smile: "This, naturally, there is no problem." ”

Wang Shufei looked at Xie Fanghua gratefully, and then poured herself a glass of water, just as she was about to call Qingzhi, she found that Qingzhi was not there, and when she was puzzled, Qingzhi hurried from the main gate of the courtyard.

Xie Fanghua hurriedly got up and walked quickly towards Qingzhi in small steps, with a smile full of anticipation, "Are you back?" ”

Qingzhi nodded, even more excited than Xie Fanghua, "It's back, General Murong is back." He went to the Imperial Study to inform His Majesty of the battle in the past three months, and is now waiting for you in the Imperial Garden! ”

"Huh, just come back," Xie Fanghua breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go to the imperial study, when she turned around and saw Wang Shufei getting up and walking towards her, she instructed Qingzhi again: "She didn't remember the action you taught Sister Shufei yesterday, stay and teach again." ”

Before Qingzhi could answer, Xie Fanghua left in a hurry.

Concubine Wang Shu walked up to Qingzhi and raised her eyes to look at her, because she hadn't heard the conversation between Xie Fanghua and Qingzhi just now, so now her face was full of doubts, "What's wrong with Fanghua?" I haven't seen her so anxious and happy in Su Rili. ”

Qingzhi looked back at Xie Fanghua's disappearing figure, smiled at Wang Shufei, but did not answer her question, "Shufei Niangniang, the maid will show you yesterday's actions again......"

Qingzhi obviously didn't want to let herself know about Xie Fanghua, Wang Ting was not a person who was boring to herself, and when she heard this, she smiled and nodded, making room for Qingzhi.

.

In the Imperial Garden, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, and peonies are especially flourishing.

A man in armor walked over the bluestone slab.

That armor is the Beihai Jiaolong armor that has been passed down through the ages, even if it looks ordinary, the whole person looks as cold as broken ice.

"Murong!" Xie Fanghua trotted all the way, and after confirming that the man in front of him was Murong Jin, he shouted excitedly.

When Murong Jin heard this, he was stunned, and the hand holding the Qinglong Sword tightened again.

Xie Fanghua walked towards him, and he slowly turned around.

After seeing Murong Jin's face, Xie Fanghua was stunned, and stretched out his hand to caress his face, but the hand hung in the air but clenched into a fist, and finally stretched it back.

"Go back and shave your beard," Xie Fanghua sighed softly, and smiled and quipped, "Look at you, you haven't shaved once in the past three months, right?" ”

Murong Jin scratched her head embarrassedly, and then gave Xie Fanghua a seat and asked her to walk to her side.

The two walked side by side.

Murong Jin smiled slightly, and called Xie Fanghua's words softly, "Fu Xi," his voice was very good, if the empty valley flowed springs, "Beidi has withdrawn from the army, harassing me in the Nanyu border all the year round, this time I won the refreshing, presumably within three years, they will not send troops again." ”

Xie Fanghua was always smiling, looking at the butterflies flying in front of him, smelling the fragrance of the flowers beside him, "I know you will win, you will win." After a pause, she said again, "Murong, tell me about your affairs in Beidi." ”

Murong Jin smiled again, his clear temperament seemed to be melted by the warm sun, "Ha, there is really something interesting, when I was in Beidi, I once rode a horse to the desert alone, and the wind there blew refreshingly; The sky there was as blue as if it had been washed, and in the distance, you could even see gusts of geese flying by, wisps of wolf smoke......"

Xie Fanghua listened carefully and smiled slightly.

"By the way, I also rescued a girl in the desert, which should be about the same age as you and Zhiyu......"

Speaking of this, Xie Fanghua's steps paused, and his smile froze, but he quickly returned to normal, and he didn't let Murong Jin find out.

Murong Jin continued to speak, but Xie Fanghua didn't have the patience to listen anymore.

Suddenly, a group of people came in front of them, and after a closer look, they were led by the emperor and Concubine Yu.

"See Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang." As soon as Xie Fanghua and Murong Jin saw the emperor, they saluted separately.

The emperor shouted to flatten up, and Xie Fanghua and Murong Jin got up.

Seeing Murong Jin and Xie Fanghua walking alone, Concubine Yu sneered: "Yo, the general is really idle, just after telling His Majesty about Beidi's withdrawal from the army, he came to find Sister Zhaoyi?" ”

Concubine Yu is in her twenties, her father is a scholar, powerful and powerful, and she herself is deeply favored in the palace.

Xie Fanghua had a cold face and did not answer Concubine Yu.

Seeing that Xie Fanghua and Murong Jin didn't feel it at all, Concubine Yu said angrily: "Xie Fanghua, if you don't answer the words of this palace, are you weak-hearted?" Scold! The palace said that from entering the palace to the present, a man who has never been close to him has even refused His Majesty, it turned out to be for this person? ”

This made the emperor angry, but Xie Fanghua and Murong Jin were expressionless.

Seeing this, Concubine Yu wanted to continue to say something, but was interrupted by Murong Jin, "Concubine Niangniang, Zhaoyi is my sister, enter the palace to take a look at my sister's current situation, is it also wrong?" ”

"Sister?" Concubine Yu's voice became a little sharp, "One surname is Murong, and the other is surnamed Xie." Oh yes, I heard that General Murong was still picked up by Zhaoyi, right? Master Chen and Mrs. Chen didn't recognize you as their son, right? Just like you, can you be considered a brother and sister? ”

The emperor's face was blue, and his uneven breathing caused his chest to rise and fall slightly, but this subtle expression, Concubine Yu didn't notice.

Xie Fanghua took two steps forward, blocked Murong Jin tangible and invisible behind him, and said to the concubine with a cold face, "Concubine Niangniang, be cautious."

Xie Fanghua knew and knew why Concubine Yu was so targeted at herself.

Concubine Yu is twenty-eight years old this year, and Xie Fanghua is also twenty-two years old. Xie Fanghua not only has a prime minister's grandfather, but also a big businessman father, while she only has a Shangshu father. Xie Fanghua is very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she is, she knows that she is not as good as Fanghua......

Concubine Yu is a very jealous person, and she can't compare to Xie Fanghua in any aspect, so it's no wonder that she targets Xie Fanghua everywhere.

Xie Fanghua remembered that once the emperor rewarded Concubine Yu with a white cat, which was very beautiful. But later she heard that Liu Meiren had a more beautiful white cat, and the cat's eyes were shiny and shiny like jewels, so Yu Guifei sent someone to beat Liu Meiren's cat to death.

"Caution? Xie Fanghua, let me tell you......"

"Smack-"

Just as Concubine Yu was getting more and more excited as she spoke, a slap slapped her in the face.

It's the emperor.

Concubine Yu hurriedly knelt down, touched her face, and looked at the emperor with a frightened expression.

Yu Guifei felt that her face was hot and painful.

The emperor glared at Concubine Yu coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and passed by Xie Fanghua and Murong Jin, his steps stopped, snorted coldly, and strode away.

The mighty crowd came and went quickly.

Glancing at Yu Guifei, who was full of unwillingness and anger, she slowly got up and glared at herself, Xie Fanghua smiled lightly and left.

Murong Jin followed.

Xie Fanghua's smile made Concubine Yu angry, if it weren't for the maid holding her, I'm afraid she would have fallen to the ground again now. Glaring at Xie Fanghua's distant back, Concubine Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Xie Fanghua, this palace must let you die well......

.

Murong Jin returned with great success, and the emperor was also ready to officially reward him and his subordinates the day after tomorrow.

Returning to the familiar Chen Mansion, he stopped at the door, looked at the plaque of the gate, smiled slightly, and then entered the mansion amid the cheers of his subordinates.

He went to see Chen Bozhong first, and after discussing some things with him, he went to Chen Zhiyi's courtyard.

Chen Zhiyan was practicing his sword, but he couldn't feel Murong Jin's breath.

Murong Jin saw that she was practicing swords, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she quickly pulled out the Qinglong Sword and stabbed at Chen Zhiyu.

The movements were fast, so fast that people couldn't see the process of him jumping from the corridor to the vicinity of Chen Zhiyu.

Chen Zhiyu reacted, his eyes widened, and when he was surprised that there was an assassin and blocked him with his sword, he realized that the person who came was none other than Murong Jin, who he hadn't seen for three months.

Chen Zhiyu knew that the other party was testing his martial arts, and after using his sword to bounce himself out, away from Murong Jin's unexpected attack, he turned around and attacked Murong Jin again in an instant.

In the courtyard, there was the sound of waving swords.

Chen Zhiyi's movements were light, and Murong Jin's every sword hit her in the real place, and soon, Chen Zhiyi was defeated, Murong Jin went around behind Chen Zhiyi, pushed her to the ground with the hilt of the sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at Chen Zhiyi, ending the competition.

Chen Zhiyi came to his senses, and Murong Jin stretched out his hand and pulled her up.

"Brother Jin, you like to test my martial arts by surprise." Chen Zhiyi held the sword and said with a snort.

Murong Jin walked to the stone table and poured himself a cup of tea, the tea was warm, and he drank it all, "Before leaving, you could only take me two moves, but today three months later, you can take me three moves, which can be regarded as progress." ”

Chen Zhiyi sat in front of him and complained: "My mother always said that I can't taste tea, and I think you can't do it better than me." ”

Murong Jin shook his head helplessly, "Oh yes, speaking of madam, why didn't you see her?" ”

"Aren't you at war? My mother was worried, so I burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, knowing the news of your return to Beijing, it is estimated that I will come back the day after tomorrow. Chen Zhiyi said.

Murong Jin nodded thoughtfully.

"Alas, that's right," Chen Zhiyu rolled his eyes, stared at Murong Jin with bad intentions, and smiled evilly, "Entered the palace to tell Your Majesty about Beidi, did you see my sister?" ”

Murong Jin hesitated for a moment before nodding, "See." Fu Xi lost weight again. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhiyi sighed, put down his sword, and looked up at the sky, "I really don't understand, you like your sister, and your sister must also like you, but at the beginning, why didn't you prevent your sister from entering the palace, and even my sister didn't resist my father...... Ah, pity my sister, the old man of the emperor is so old......"

Murong Jin listened to Chen Zhiyi's words quietly, lowered his head, and was silent.
