Haoyuan is a country full of traffic, people's livelihood is multiplying, and Kyoto is prosperous.

In this frontier battle, the country of Sikou was defeated and a major hidden danger was solved. It's a great pleasure.

The people were in the middle of the road to welcome the brave warriors who had returned triumphantly.

In the forefront, riding a tall horse, dressed in a battle robe, tall and straight, handsome, the most striking is the pair, reflecting the sun, dazzling eyes like gold, majestic and offensive like a lion and cheetah. And compared with the other soldiers who smiled at the cheers of the people, the general was serious and meticulous.

Xu Sheng rode a fierce horse without moving, walking past the cheering people all the way. Enter the city.

Once upon a time, people in the world often criticized Xu Sheng's natural abnormal appearance, and his golden eyes that were different from ordinary people. Even the old emperor listened to the myth that the four princes would bring misfortune to all beings in the world. He was not favored all the year round, so he let him guard the frontier with poor conditions at a young age.

The other two princes in the court are evenly matched, the eldest prince is the crown prince of the dynasty, and there is a queen family behind him. The second prince is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he was named the prince of Rui, and he was given seven dragon ball kings, and his status can really be equal to that of the prince. Moreover, the second prince and concubine are the Ruan concubines of the dynasty, and behind them is the Ruan family, a century-old family.

With these two sides evenly matched, it is possible that each of them will sit on the throne in the future. The courtiers and officials are naturally divided into two major factions, and naturally no one cares, the four princes who have been in the frontier for four years, are only twenty years old, have no family background, are not favored, and have not even been crowned kings.

In the grand palace of Haoyuan Kingdom, hundreds of officials bowed to the audience.

This time the country of Sikou was defeated, and the emperor rewarded him for his meritorious deeds. Reward the prince Shang Fang with a pair of jade pendants, and reward his meritorious service in guarding the rear. Reward Rui Wang Ye with another dragon ball, saying that he will ensure the dispatch of materials and achieve no worries about materials for the victory of this war.

The prince began to reward Shang Fangyupei with a pair, and he was quite happy. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the emperor rewarded the second brother with a dragon ball, so that this prince is the prince of eight dragon balls. The eccentricity of this father is really obvious to all.

The emperor rewarded the third prince Xu Sheng, because of his perennial meritorious service in guarding the frontier, this time he led the troops to defeat the Sikou country, so that he bowed down to the courtiers. He was named the King of Tai'an. Give a mansion in Beijing, Tai'an Palace. He also ordered the four princes to go back to the frontier to make proper arrangements since the war had been quelled, and then stay in Kyoto.

In the backyard of the palace, Ruan Guifei.

Ruan Guifei was dressed in gorgeous clothes, lying gracefully on the chaise longue, and four handsome maids were gently massaging the chaiseun. She is nearly forty years old, but she is as delicate and beautiful as a girl in her early twenties, and she was the first beauty in Kyoto. It's just the fine lines that can't be covered by fat powder at the corners of the eyes, and you can see a little trace of time.

"Erchen has seen his mother." The second prince, Xu Yanzhuo, was wearing a purple robe, with a tall posture, and his facial features had the appearance of Ruan Guifei, who was not only handsome as a man, but also had a charm at the corners of his eyes, which was a little more glamorous.

"Get up." Ruan Guifei lay down on a chair and asked, "How are things going?" ”

"Back to the mother, I didn't find it." Xu Yanzhuo returned.

"How is it possible, you can't even find anyone?" Ruan Guifei waved her hand and asked the maids to retreat, "If you let the crown prince take the lead, what use do you have?" ”

"Mother has learned a lesson." Xu Yanzhuo said respectfully on the surface, "It's just that this Wolongzi is just a rumor." ”

"Rumors?" Ruan Guifei chuckled, "There is no wind and no waves, not to mention that this rumor is a knife to help." ”

"Yes." Xu Yanzhuo looked up at his mother, and a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of Danfeng, who had hanged himself, and he still didn't think so.

It is said that Zhizi Mo Ruomu, how can this flash of disdain escape the eyes of Ruan Guifei, "Your uncle entered the palace and said that the elder has ordered to find Wolongzi and use it for his own use." “

"Yes, Erchen understands." Xu Yanzhuo felt irritable for a while, and he was the second prince of the clan, so he had to be restrained by them.

Ruan Guifei also seemed to understand her son's thoughts, and added, "Dulomon alone is worth your hard work." ”

"Yes. The son-in-law was not thoughtful, so the mother concubine was worried. Xu Yanzhuo bowed his head and replied, the mother concubine has always forced herself to do all the things she is told, and the family is not only her backing, but she is like a chess piece manipulated by them.

"Okay, you go back and hurry up." Concubine Yan waved her hand.

In the middle of Kyoto City, there is a long-abandoned mansion.

Xu Sheng took the old housekeeper to the Tai'an palace given by the emperor.

Located on the outskirts of Kyoto, it is a ruined house that has been abandoned for a long time, and although it occupies a large area, it is overgrown with weeds, and you can see that it has been abandoned for at least decades.

Steward Song looked at the place where the spiders were about to become fine, and his heart was pulling out the cold, how could this emperor be so eccentric? The eldest prince and the second prince, sitting in Kyoto, didn't see anything to contribute, won the battle and did what they did, but they were rewarded a lot, and their master, at the age of sixteen, took the initiative to ask for help, followed General Li to the frontier, these four years, there is no merit and hard work, not to mention that this is not a big defeat of Sikou country, won the battle, and finally looked forward to the king, but it is such a dilapidated mansion.

If you want to talk about the king, the two princes, but when they were fifteen years old, they were crowned kings. So far, it is already the Lord of the Eight Dragon Balls. The weight is really on par with the prince.

At the end of the day, what does your master have?

Steward Song muttered very unevenly, "Master, this dilapidated house is said to be the palace, which makes people laugh." ”

"Okay, it's not the first time you've seen you after all these years." Xu Sheng looked at the dilapidated mansion, and there was no superfluous expression, he had long lost any hope for them, and he had to earn and grab whatever he wanted.

"That's what I said, but can this house really work?" The old butler, who was already forty or fifty years old, began to worry about tidying up the affairs of the palace.

"It's good, it's remote, it's not eye-catching." Xu Sheng walked around the house. After a general look, the whole structure of this house is still very good, and it can be seen that it should have cost a lot of money at the beginning, but it has been uninhabited for many years, and it seems that it is overgrown with weeds and lonely. Over the years, there have been countless nobles in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, and there are more mansions, "to check the history of this mansion,"

"Yes, master." The old butler bowed down to receive the order. He also said, "I heard that the crown prince and the second prince are looking for Wolongzi upside down, should we also send someone out to find it?" ”

"No need." Xu Sheng looked up at a big tree in the yard, to say the least, it was a hundred years. It seems that it is still a house with some history.

"No more? Which one will find the crown prince or the second prince first? The old butler was worried and puzzled.

"Did you see the bird in the tree?" Xu Sheng pointed to the flocks of birds and finches chirping on the big tree, "Good birds choose trees to perch, but all talented people have a bit of temperament." ”

"But what did you do for someone else?" The old butler didn't get it.

"I can't kick it." If the dignified Sect Master of Dulomon wants to show up, how can he be in office for a year, and no one knows his true face.

Outside Kyoto, on the official road.

A handsome scholar who looks like a literati is riding a mule, slowly swinging slowly.

Passing by a tea pavilion, he stopped and tied his mule, ready to go to the tea pavilion to drink tea and rest for a while.

The old man of the tea pavilion saw that a guest was coming, and he looked at the poor scholar dress, and the jade pendant he wore on his waist was not valuable, but the ornament was special, so he took a closer look and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Son, have a cup of tea." ”

The handsome scholar glanced at the old man, "Then serve a cup of tea before the rain." ”

The old man looked at the scholar and smiled, "Okay, okay." He brought a cup of tea to the scholar and said, "Childe, why don't you have some pastries to quench your hunger?" ”

The scholar drank the tea in the cup, smiled and said, "No, there is no silver tael today, and I will come back later." ”

"Childe jokes." The old man watched the scholar get up, then stepped aside and said, "Childe go slowly." ”

The poor scholar led the mule and entered the city gate. I bought a few square pastries in the pastry shop, and then led the mule and carried the shabby pastries to the Confucian family in Kyoto.

The little guy opened the door and pushed unreasonably. After a while, he asked Mrs. Wen to go out and pick him up in person.

The dignified court master hurriedly went out, invited the shabby scholar into the house, and asked the maid to serve tea, before retreating from all the subordinates.

Taifu bowed and saluted, "The sect master is here, and his subordinates are not welcomed. ”

"No need to salute, I'm just one of your protégés now." Qi Wenxiu held the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.

"Yes, Sect Master." Wen Taifu commanded. The sect master has been in office for less than a year, but his ability is obvious to all, and he has never seen a real person, this time if it wasn't for the news from above, plus the private jade pendant on the sect master's waist. I'm afraid that I really don't believe it, which makes everyone in the rivers and lakes fear, and the suzerain of the dignified Dulomon in the world is actually this scholar-like literati.

"In front of future generations, call me Wenxiu." Qi Wenxiu got up and helped Mrs. Wen up.

"Yes, Sect Master." Taifu bowed down again and said, "The crown prince and the second prince of Kyoto are all trying their best to find you. What do you think is good? ”

"It's okay, let them find it." Qi Wenxiu looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, and said, "I'm tired." ”

"The subordinates are not careful, so this will take you to the wing. Meals have been prepared. ”

No one thought that the crown prince and the second prince in the world were racing against time, sending people out to various rivers and lakes, and the people who were looking for the world had actually been sent to the door at this moment, and they were staying in Kyoto by themselves.

Xu Sheng arranged the affairs of Kyoto, and then set off with General Li to the border. Specifically arrange the march and defense of the border guards, and the surrender of Si Kuoguo, and another important thing is to take Si Kuo Guo proton back to Kyoto.

On the prairie, the Haoyuan Kingdom and the Sikou Kingdom have millions of military horses, and the two armies are facing each other. The distance was the shortest ever, but only three miles.

The momentum is magnificent and majestic, the temperament of the two countries is rippling, and the sound of horses panting and pacing is like thunder.

Among the armored warriors in the clear column, a teenager was brought out.
