"That's right, at this moment, you don't want Liyang to lose my father." Liyang replied.

Hearing this, Nan Jiyue just smiled and said nothing. Raise the chopsticks and put a chopstick dish in your mouth, and taste it carefully, "The princess also tastes it, the dishes of Jian Fanlou live up to its fame." Ji Yue also wants to stay in Yangxing for a while longer and taste the food of Yangxing City. ”

Emperor Liyang sent people to assassinate him many times, and not long after the last Hongmen Banquet, he didn't want to re-enter the cage he designed so soon.

Li Yangxi tasted it, nodded in agreement: "The dishes of Jian Fanlou are indeed a must in Yangxing City, tomorrow when the prince of Jiyue finishes the diagnosis and treatment of his father, I will definitely bring my father to taste it."

Nan Jiyue put down her chopsticks, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Princess, Jiyue's medical skills are not perfect, the emperor is the Son of Heaven after all, I am afraid that there are mistakes and omissions, and it is really difficult for Jiyue to obey her fate." ”

"Prince Jiyue, you don't have to worry about the affairs of your father's side." Nan Jiyue was thoughtful and firmly controlled the situation in his hands step by step. He is still talking about him left and right, and he refuses in every possible way, probably because he has his own requirements. "How can you say yes?"

Nan Jiyue raised her eyebrows and put down the teacup in her hand. "The princess is serious, Ji Yue is a grass people, what do you want." He paced to the window and watched the bustling crowd of people in the market below. "Princess, Ji Yue admits that you have a pair of eyes that can see everyone's purpose clearly, and I really can't agree to your request in vain. But look at the people below. The emperor had a tyrannical temperament, and because of the discovery of the Gaudi people on the shore of the Yanyi Lake, the people around the Yanyi Lake disappeared quietly. Can you see the fear and uneasiness in the hearts of these people, each living their own little life? Perhaps, Prince Xian's ascension to the throne is a glimmer of life for Liyang. ”

A shallow sadness appeared on Liyangxi's face, and the whole person seemed to be fragile like an ice floe. "Prince Jiyue, Emperor Nanyue only focused on poetry and books, abandoned military training, and raised the subjects of a country into weak scholars who looked down on soldiers and scholars. Several princes are either vying for power or indulging in gentleness. Where do you think, where is the vitality of Nanyue? ”

Nan Jiyue looked back at her deeply, "I have one condition. ”

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the people on the way home, gilding them with a layer of golden light. It was originally the unbridled red in the painting, but at this time it has weakened a little more and added a little softness. The eyebrows are picturesque, stepping on the shallow afterglow of the sunset. The willow branches on the shore of the lake swayed gently, and the surface of the lake was sparkling gold, just like the eyes of a woman looking at the lake. She tilted her head slightly and smiled at the man in green shirt standing on the shore of the lake. Suddenly, everything was quiet, and the man's eyes only had the woman's heart-catching smile. Knock knock, heartbeat like a drum, and the glow quietly crept up his cheeks.

The woman lightly opened her red lips, and her voice was clearer and better, like a golden stone hitting a chime. "Wood, this is for you." Chu Jiangli handed him the wine jar in his hand, sat on the grass and looked at the lake that had begun to fog.

Yan Chaiyun reached out and took it and sat down beside her.

"Wood, do you know why this lake is called the Smoke Lake?" Chu Jiangli kept his eyes on the front and asked lightly.

Yan Chaiyun's gaze swept over Chu Jiangli's side face and landed on the fog on the surface of the lake. Even if it is a well-known question, he answers it very seriously, just to be able to say a word to her more and stay even for a while. "Because the lake was filled with fog from evening to the next morning, and the fog was as vast as smoke, so it was called the lake of smoke."

"The fog is misty and obscures people's view, making it a good place to ambush. A few days ago, I met a group of people here who wanted to kill me. And guess what happened in the end? Chu Jiangli turned his head and asked him.

"Killed." Looking into her eyes, Yan Chaiyun replied calmly.

Chu Jiangli smiled, and then looked back at the lake. "Yes, I killed them all, including all the people on the shore of the lake that day. Bloodthirsty Shura, people are as their name suggests. Wood, you say yes and no? ”

"No, why would you say that?!" Yan Chaiyun grabbed her arm excitedly, "There was no one else on the shore of the Misty Lake that day, and those who want to kill you, they deserve to die." I ......"

Yan Chaiyun paused, "After I separated from you in Bicang City, I went to check. You are not killing innocent people indiscriminately, but some people are deliberately spreading rumors. Ever since we met that day, I knew you weren't that kind of person. I'm so happy, and I'm even happier that I found you in Yangxing City. ”

Yan Chaiyun's somewhat shy and purely happy smile made Chu Jiang choke up, why is this person so stupid? It's so sour that it makes people's hearts ache. Yan Chaiyun, the first god to be avoided by wicked people on the rivers and lakes, thought it was a serious and cold image of a public who enforced the law impartially, but he never thought that he was an upright, kind, shy and shy pure character.

His feelings were so intense, undisguised, hot, and so hot that people's hearts trembled. Turn your head and reflect the light of the water in your eyes on the surface of the lake.

"Ah, I'm kidding you. I originally wanted to take the opportunity to fight with the world's number one god to fight with all my might, alas, how could you see through it. Chu Jiangli picked up a small pebble and threw it into the lake, laughing.

"I'm not going to do anything to you, I, I'll protect you." Yan Chaiyun snorted, his hand unconsciously rubbed the wine jar on the shore, and then he found that the wine jar was exceptionally cold, "Jiang Li, why is this wine so cold?" ”

"Well, I'm going to ask that hypocrite. I don't know how he made the wine, but every time I asked, I smiled triumphantly and said nothing. Chu Jiangli's depression only lasted for a moment, "This wine is called Jiuyan, which is comparable to the cold ice and snow of the nine cold winters. It's my favorite wine. ”

"Jiang Li should be talking about the son of Jiyue." Yan Chaiyun opened the seal, and the crisp aroma of wine came in an instant. Yan Chaiyun tasted it and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good wine, the wine is mellow, the entrance is smooth, first it is cold, then it is mellow after the body is warmed, and then there is a sweet aftertaste, and the aftertaste is endless."

Jiang Li, after tasting Jiuyan, there is no good wine in the world. Just as the prince of Zhongting said to the steamed sea bass in the Qing Fishing Building that day, after tasting it, there is no more sea bass to eat. ”

"You're right, good wine should be brought out for people to taste. It's a pity that he is very stingy, and he only gives such a small altar every time. If that hypocrite hears someone praise his wine like this, it will be even more difficult for me to drink it. Chu Jiangli muttered.

"Jiyue Gongzi and Jiang Li seem to have known each other for a long time, but I haven't heard of this on the rivers and lakes." After saying this sentence, which seemed to be both a statement and a question, Yan Chaiyun waited for her reaction.

Chu Jiangli got up and stretched his body, and walked all the way along the lakeside. "He's a gentleman, how can he be acquainted with me, a female devil?" I couldn't tell if Chu Jiangli was satirizing Nan Jiyue's hypocrisy or denying the fact that they were familiar with each other.

"Jiang Li, you're not—"

Chu Jiangli shook his head and interrupted his unspoken words. At this time, it was already night, and I couldn't see the change in my expression except that the hazy moonlight illuminated the way forward. The two walked silently along the shore of the smoky lake, and Yan Chaiyun clearly felt that the relaxed atmosphere between the two of them was gone, replaced by solemnity, as if all the fog in the lake was pressing on him.

"Jiang Li, come with me to Gaudi, okay?"

Chu Jiangli paused, and when he was in Bicang City, his sentence "leave with me" was still in his ears. She took a deep breath, looked at the man with a stubborn gaze, and pulled him to a seat. "Do you remember when I asked you about the origin of the Smoke Lake? There's a legend in this smoky lake, do you know? ”

Yan Chaiyun shook her head, and Chu Jiangli told her the legend she knew.

More than 300 years ago, when the Great Yi Dynasty was still very prosperous, there was a woman who was very good at winemaking. The wine she brews is delicious, the price is reasonable, and it is very popular in the country. At this moment, a young man came to her, saying that he had come to repay her kindness and wanted to marry her. It turned out that when the woman was young, she met a child who was about to freeze to death on a snowy day. So she gave the boy a drink of wine that she had brewed to warm his body, and then the child disappeared.

The young man told the woman that he was the boy he had been, and that he had survived because of a jug of wine from the woman, and that he had been grateful for the woman's kindness ever since. The two got to know each other like this, and as time went by, the woman slowly fell in love with the young man.

Just as the two were about to visit the church to get married, the man suddenly fled and took the woman's brewing recipe with him. It turned out that he was a guy from another liquor store. In order to be able to gain the appreciation of the treasurer, he resorted to such a scheme.

The business of the women's liquor store has plummeted, and there are few doors. The woman was very angry, but also very sad, after all, it was the man she had loved deeply. The woman came up with a way to meet the negative man on the shore of the Misty Lake. On the same day, the woman carried the wine she had brewed and said to the man, "Since our fate started from this wine, let's end with this wine."

Hearing this, Yan Chaiyun's face turned slightly pale, he already knew what Chu Jiangli meant. Fang Cai still felt that the sweet wine was extremely bitter at the moment, but Chu Jiangli did not stop and continued to speak.

The woman told him that as long as he drank the jar of wine, it would be cut off from now on, and it would be irrelevant. When the man had drunk the jar, he collapsed and never got up. The woman jumped into the lake and died.

The more people who say it, the more distorted it becomes. With the change of years, gradually, the shore of the lake has become a decisive place. If a man expresses his heart to a woman, then they meet together on the shore of the Smoke Lake. The woman would bring a jug of wine, and if she agreed, she would drink it with the man. If he does not want to, let the man drink the wine alone.

Chu Jiangli's voice became erratic, as light as mist. "The light smoke curls excessively, and the vastness is like a fairy whispering. The willow branches shake the silk silk, just like the beauty of the cluster. The water is rippling and the lake is sparkling. By asking who is on the lakeside, when will he return home and wear brocade robes again? ”

"Jiang Li," Yan Chaiyun pinched her shoulders, her hands trembling. "Beauty? Home? Jiang Li, I don't have a home. If you can enjoy thousands of flowers in spring and lotus in summer, and fall leaves in autumn and snow in winter, this is enough. ”
