Chapter 1: 001
The scorching west wind, the halberd of the sand.
Before October, the dark and oppressive sky of the north was covered with snow.
After fifteen years of war, the dying situation of the Daxuan Dynasty reversed, Emperor Xuan Heng led thousands of troops back to the dynasty, and the blood-red cloak fluttered in the wind, like the banner of victory, but the golden jade crown was already pale and white.
"Hooray! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! The crowd chanted.
……
Immediately following Emperor Xuanheng's horse, the person who straddled the red blood dragon war horse and wore a golden apricot dragon robe, but his face was pale and bloodless, was the crown prince of the current dynasty.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured on the battlefield until he returned to the court, although he was dressed in a yellow robe, he was wrapped in a thick bandage.
The army of the returning dynasty did not dare to make a noise, for fear that someone would know about it and deliberately make it difficult for the prince, and then endure it if they could, and when they arrived at the palace, they could say anything.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose!"
Ten miles long street, as far as the eye can see, a black oppressive people, kowtow and bow.
The sound of gongs and drums was so noisy that the pair of narrow eyebrows frowned slightly, sitting on horseback, holding the reins tightly, slender and beautiful fingers, and the phalanges were clenched white.
There was a feeling of torn flesh and skin behind his back, and he cursed in his heart: Damn!
Damn it! Could it be that the poisonous tenacious knife wound cracked again!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose!"
……
Headache.
In this sunny day that I haven't seen for a long time, there are crowds of people around, but Xiao Zhong also wonders, this Nanxuan people, I'm afraid they were not forced to welcome the return of the army.
Suddenly, on the side of his horse's hooves, a man was suddenly trampled on the ground by the crowd behind him, this person reflexively turned over, struggled, and did not care about the etiquette of humility, and rolled to the middle of the road in embarrassment, life was at stake!
Coincidentally, a small sharp knife fell out of this man's cuff!
The auspicious scabbard of the jade carving is a boutique in the Western Regions at a glance, but it is a murder weapon after all.
But Xiao Xiao saw this person rolling towards the horse's hooves again, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly drank the horse, but the wound behind him was completely torn at this time, this pain, he grabbed the mane of the war horse, and a layer of cold sweat appeared in the palm of his hand, almost turning the horse on his back!
In an instant, an unarmed citizen was treated as a mob, and the secret guards all went into battle, subduing the person to the ground, leaving a big footprint behind him.
Before the man could say for mercy, he was knocked unconscious with a stick.
However, at the moment when he fainted, his weight was startled, and the horse he was strangled did not lift his feet for a long time.
He frowned and looked at the dizzy and crooked man, did he see it wrong?
But he heard the people around him talking.
"It's the second son of the Cheng family!"
"This goblin was stepped on?"
"Shh——!h Be quiet! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here! ”
"Be a demon at the feet of the prince, don't kill it again, it's a pity that that beautiful face ......"
After a short discussion, today is quiet again.
But Xiao Xiao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he only felt the red and swollen knife wound behind him, warm and wet.
Probably blood seeped out, he leaned over lightly and said to his father-in-law on the side: "Father-in-law Qi, see if there is blood behind me." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there's a little bit of it!" Father-in-law Qi was taken aback, his face was full of anxiety for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is still a while away from the palace, why don't you find a sedan chair......"
But Xiao Zhong's lowered eyes showed a cold look.
Gonggong Qi panicked instantly, and when his expression wandered, he saw Emperor Xuanheng who was still on horseback.
How can the prince ride a sedan chair, and the emperor rides a horse?
"Slaves are ill-conceived, damn it!" Father-in-law Qi slapped his old face in an instant: "The slave is going to get a cloak for the prince!" ”
"You catch the man just now, don't kill him yet, and ask him to understand the ins and outs, who he is." But Xiao Xiao whispered heavily, and his eyes followed the direction where the "mob" who had just rushed out was taken away.
It hadn't gone far, but next to it, in front of the guard, a tall, handsome and handsome man said something politely to the guard, as if he was interceding for the person who rushed out.
Father-in-law Qi was busy asking someone to do what the prince ordered.
But a layer of cold sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead, and he continued to cinch the reins and endure it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Chengling was captured by the emperor.
The inheritance family of a merchant family, even if the ancestral tomb emits black smoke, it was unexpected, and the Cheng family would one day be able to have a relationship with the prince - the eldest son Chengling actually committed the prince's feet and stabbed the prince with a knife.
The crown prince is heavy, isn't he the future emperor? An indisputable fact.
Although the knife is far less lethal, it can completely give Chengling the name of "assassinating the prince".
The only second son of the Cheng family is still a little promising, and he is proud of his bones before the weak crown, and he is famous in the capital Chang'an, a very good disciple of the Wujing martial arts sect, and it is very likely that he will enter the Shiguang Sect in the future.
"Insufficient success, more than failure!" Cheng Zi'an was angry and paced repeatedly in the hall.
Even the remaining two sons were also affected by the pond fish - the second son Chengye and the third son Chengsheng were reprimanded by him and knelt under the hall.
Especially Chengsheng, who inherited the unique handsome silhouette of the man of the Cheng family, although not as good as the eldest brother Chengling, but he also has a good skin, but he only knows how to mess with flowers and grass everywhere, and he really took this opportunity to be drawn a few big boards.
Mrs. Cheng held her belly for five or six months, sat in front of the hall and worried about her eldest son, so sad that she burst into tears.
"Why was the eldest brother arrested in the palace in a good manner?" Kneeling beside the second brother, Cheng Sheng asked quietly while Master Cheng was not paying attention.
Chengye whispered: "He rolled to the feet of the prince and blocked the prince's horse, and he will definitely be punished." Besides, there is a sharp knife thrown out of his sleeve, which is not a trivial matter. ”
"Sharp knives?! That's not ......"
The words "assassinate the prince", even Chengsheng, who has always been arrogant and domineering, really didn't dare to spit it out.
"Did you stuff the silver ticket? Find a way from the prince's side of Gonggong Qi......"
"Well, I've secretly handed him the silver ticket, it's terrible."
"These turtle sons ......"
……
"I wonder, when did this big brother who doesn't meet people learn to join in the fun?"
Chengsheng frowned, his handsome face was white and tender, his eyes were shining, and he was pampered and uninhibited, and he still had to kneel here in the end. He was not afraid to kneel, but seeing that Mrs. Cheng was on the side, Qingpa was wet with tears, and his face was not good-looking.
Seiye kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Second brother, did you see the saint today? I was at the back of the crowd and didn't see anything. ”
"yes, I see."
"What does the Holy One look like?"
"What else can it look like?" Chengye got impatient.
"What about His Royal Highness the Prince? I heard that the prince is extraordinary, but he looks better than our brother? ”
"If you say more, I'll let my dad cut your tongue." Chengye said a word to Chengsheng, but turned to frown: "But I think the prince looks very familiar, probably like an old man I have seen before." ”
Chengsheng was anxious: "Why don't you go to the palace, I'm just worried that the eldest brother won't arrest people into the palace, see him beautiful and delicious, become a eunuch, and force him to serve the master in the future!" ”
"Don't crow's mouth!" Chengye frowned, and his voice was gloomy.
Looking at the stubborn third brother, he took advantage of Master Cheng's inattention, and pinched the tip of Chengsheng's buttocks to purple and black.
^^^^^^^^^^
The candles are bright, the surroundings are luxurious, and the golden satin curtain covers the dragon bed in front of it, and the atmosphere is so quiet that it is suffocating.
At midnight, a person knelt quietly in the prince's bedroom, waiting for a long time.
This person has slender bones, skin like jade, and a handsome face. The light pink thin lips are slightly hooked, even if the face is expressionless, it is always smiling.
With this pair of skins alone, this person has become famous in the capital-
She is pretty and handsome, her posture is tall and straight, the jade tree is in the wind, and she has a pair of strong male bones, but it is so good to see and unforgettable.
In a word: the eldest son of the Cheng family is Chengling, the jade bones are fragrant, and the world is gorgeous.
Since it is a rumor, it is not groundless, this person is indeed so good-looking.
It's just that at this time, this jade bone is fragrant, and the eldest son of the Cheng family, Cheng Ling, who is stunning in the world, has beads of sweat hanging on his forehead at this time, and his pale thin lips have also become gray.
