Song Tanglu, a hot upstart in the palace who is less than thirty years old, even if he is already the chief eunuch of the internal official supervisor, even if he is a close attendant of the Son of Heaven who is deeply affected by the queen's blue eyes, even if he has a secret decree. Still can only take a few disguised Da Nei Hu servants, quietly entered from the side door of the Beiliang Palace, and after seeing Xu Xiao at the door of the mansion lobby, he didn't dare to look at it more, let the palace guards stay outside the door, walked over the threshold quickly, and knelt on the ground with a five-body throw, and knocked out bright red marks on the brain, and said in a muffled voice: "Song Tanglu, the internal official and supervisor, see the King of Beiliang, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian did not sit down, but they did not move their feet to greet this great eunuch who was already exercising Xuanhe's authority, Xu Xiao laughed softly: "Song Mink Temple, get up and announce the decree." β
The two titles of mink temple and eunuch are not something that ordinary eunuchs can put on their heads, and in the palace of Tai'an City, they can be counted with one hand. In addition to Han Shengxuan, who has been high for too many years, Song Tanglu's master, who was originally second only to the celebrant supervisor among the twelve prisons, was counted as one, and Song Tanglu was given the surname by the Son of Heaven himself, and now he is expected to reach the top, which can be said to be better than the blue, which makes the entire court dumbfounded.
Song Tanglu had already figured it out when he left the palace, if he announced the decree, according to the law, the king of the vassal would have to kneel, and it didn't matter if the king of Beiliang knelt or not, Xu Xiao could go to the palace with a sword, and he still had the privilege of not kneeling to listen to the decree, but if he stood there with a serious tone to announce the decree, I was afraid that there would be a suspicion of demonstration, Song Tanglu didn't want to be so rampant in the first place, even if he knew that it was not etiquette, he still took out the yellow secret decree from his sleeve after getting up, hung his head quickly, handed it to the king of Beiliang with both hands, and directly skipped the matter of the decree and ignored it. Xu Xiao took the secret decree and handed it to Xu Fengnian casually, and then let this quite informed eunuch sit down, Song Tanglu was sitting in a precarious position, not squinting, but the corner of his eye still caught a glimpse of Xu Fengnian with frost and snow, and his heart was shocked, for some reason, when he could see it, His Royal Highness the Prince was obviously bowing his head to stretch the holy decree to read, and the corners of his mouth were still hooked up an arc, Song Tanglu was able to stand out among the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and step by step to the top, relying on the observation of words and expressions that can be called an outstanding talent, and immediately knew that the young prince of the world noticed his unintentional snooping, and immediately lowered his gaze, and only dared to look at his kneesγ
Xu Xiao smiled and said a pleasant word: "Song Mink Temple has worked hard all the way. β
Song Tanglu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dare, it's Song Tanglu's business." β
Xu Xiao smiled and asked: "If Song Mink Temple doesn't stay in Beiliang for a few more days, this king can also be entertained." β
The young eunuch who was taken aback by a bite of Song Mink Temple hurriedly got up, knelt down and said apologetically: "Song Tanglu needs to go to Beijing immediately to restore his life, he may not even be able to eat a meal, and he hopes that the king of Beiliang will be very happy." β
Xu Xiao walked over and helped Song Tanglu up, "It's okay, it's okay, we don't have to be polite, how smooth and suitable to come, don't delay Song Mink Temple to go back to restore your life, go, this king will send you out." β
Rao has been in the palace for many years, and Song Tanglu, who is not inferior to any top master in cultivating his mind, is also obviously in a trance, and said respectfully: "I really don't dare to bother the King of Beiliang." β
Xu Xiao shook his head and walked out of the lobby with Song Tanglu, the inner guards had already handed over their bags to the palace steward. The group walked on the quiet path where there was not the slightest guard, and those guards were also walking on thin ice, so they hurriedly took a few more glances at the back of the king with a different surname, and when they returned to the palace, they could boast to their colleagues, we had the treatment of less than ten steps away from the dignified King of Beiliang! Song Tanglu has been cautious for many years, and he has not shown a trace behind Xu Xiao's body by more than half a figure, and when he walked to the gate, Song Tanglu said that he didn't dare to let this King of Beiliang send him out of the door for half a step, and then stopped, and those big internal guards all came out silently, turned over on their horses, and waited far away.
One of the guards sighed: "He is worthy of being the general who destroyed the Six Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period!"
Another whispered, "What's the matter?"
The guard said in a deep voice: "There is a murderous aura when you walk. β
"I don't feel it. β
"You know a fart, that's because your realm is not enough!"
"No wonder some people say that King Beiliang can kill people with his eyes, and he will directly scare people out of their bitter guts. Fortunately, Song Mink Temple didn't annoy his old man, otherwise we wouldn't have to be stared at by both eyes and die?"
One of the oldest and most calm guards listened to the absurd conversation of his juniors, crying and laughing.
At the door, Xu Xiao said softly: " Others say that when you Song Mink Temple was on duty in the Seal Ribbon Prison, you were conscientious, in charge of the ancient and modern Tongji library, pasting Huang Kanhe and other trivial matters, all in good order, and you can also write a good hand, the king is a rough person, these headaches are difficult to think about, so I won't say it, but there is one thing, this king remembers it clearly, the content of my family's Feng Nian hereditary replacement, from your pen, some people in the house say that you write well, this favor, this king wrote down, in case something happens in the future, I can use my son Feng Nian, the new king of Beiliang, just need to inform me, dare not boast to help you settle down, this king only said that he will do his bestγ β
If Song Mink Temple was struck by lightning, he subconsciously knelt down again.
Xu Xiao held his hands and scolded with a smile: "The man has gold under his knees, what do you kneel!Song Tanglu, if you have the opportunity to come to Beiliang Wangfu again, you don't need to remember it, this has nothing to do with your identity, this king is indeed unreasonable, only thinking about feelings." β
Song Mink Temple gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Where the responsibility is in the future, what Song Tanglu should do, he will definitely do it." But some superfluous things, never too much. There are also these words, Song Tanglu only remembered them in his heart, and he didn't mention them as a general. β
Xu Xiao nodded, "This king won't send it." β
Song Mink Temple learned from the scholar to salute, turned around and went out.
Xu Xiao slowly paced back to the lobby, and saw Xu Fengnian finish unpacking his bags, his fingers pinching the sleeve of a python coat, and he was chattering there, "It's pleasing to the eye, it's very comfortable to touch, you have to be careful when the flying sword comes out of the sleeve, and find someone to sew it up if it is broken." β
Xu Xiao quipped: "I'm afraid I can't find anyone to sew and mend it?" There are two strands of the remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period, and they are flowing to the north, and I have intercepted a lot of people, and the leader of our Beiliang Weaving Bureau is the one who made clothes for the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty back then, but this time your royal robe is sewn, and the specific matters are handed over to a few ingenious women, that person is just drawing patterns, he is old, his eyes are not useful, and he is afraid that he will be beheaded if he is out of time. β
Xu Fengnian frowned and said, "Your python robe is not good?"
Xu Xiao smiled angrily: "How can there be a reason for the new king to wear old clothes, our Xu family is not poor to that extent!"
Xu Fengnian put down the imperial python robe in his hand, hesitated for a moment and said: "I originally wanted to go to the northwest end and catch the nearly 100,000 sin refugees in my hands, since I want to go to the capital to watch the ceremony, then let it go, go to Tai'an City first." β
Xu Xiao asked, "When will you leave?" and how many iron horses do you need to bring?"
Xu Fengnian smiled: "Just tomorrow." What kind of iron cavalry to bring, I am not a vassal king, I don't need to pay attention to pomp and circumstance when I go to the capital, and I don't have to pay attention to pomp and circumstance when I bring nearly a thousand cavalry like King Yan, Han Diao Temple may have to hide his head and shrink his tail, I will open the door and steal it once this time, so that people can kill the cat happily. β
Xu Xiao nodded and said, "In addition to your own arrangement, I will also secretly hand over Yin and Chou to you." β
Xu Fengnian asked, "Then what should you do?"
Xu Xiao smiled and asked, "Do you know why the sword god Li Chungang was suppressed in His Excellency Tingchao for twenty years?
Xu Fengnian was speechless.
Xu Xiao sat on the chair and said indifferently: "You can rest assured to go to your capital, don't worry about your father's safety, there are so many people who want to kill me for so many years like a carp crossing the river, I have a way to deal with it." β
The yin voice of the dead Shiyin came to the ears of the father and son again, "Nangong Servant has returned to the pavilion, and Xuanyuan Qingfeng is in the Huxin Pavilion." The injuries were not light. β
Xu Fengnian asked, "E?"
Dead Shiyin replied sternly: "Return to Your Highness, safe and sound." β
In the eyes of the dead soldiers of the local branch, the life and death of colleagues are insignificant.
Xu Fengnian stood up and went to Tingchao Lake, where the young dead man squatted by the lake and sulked.
Xu Fengnian walked over, saw him turn his head with a guilty face, and said with a smile: "Eat your meal, and then go to the capital with me tomorrow, and then there will be a chance to fight with Han Mink Temple." β
The boy jumped up and down, smiling brightly, "Really?"
Xu Fengnian raised his leg and made a gesture to kick him into the lake, but the lively but not gloomy young man grinned, jumped into the lake himself, and happily swam to the opposite shore.
Xu Fengnian smiled heartily, walked to the Huxin Pavilion, and when he got closer, he saw Xuanyuan Qingfeng sitting dejectedly against the pillar.
Xu Fengnian narrowed his Danfeng eyes, sat down lazily and sneered: "The same is the Xuan, the second Xuanxuan Han Diao Temple in the world, is much more powerful than you, right?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said sharply: "Wait for me to enter the ...... of the Celestial Phenomena."
Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Have you forgotten that Han Mink Temple is the best at pointing at killing celestial phenomena? Don't feel aggrieved, the realm of martial arts, people are more popular than people, there will always be a mountain and a mountain high, I know that you want to become a commodity like Wang Xianzhi, but before you do this, you still have to relax, many things can't be rushed. There are eight hundred left roads and three thousand left roads on the side door, and you have picked a very steep sheep intestine path, and you will become more and more rare in the current life. As for me, I have briefly entered the pseudo-celestial phenomena, which can be regarded as the situation of the white horse passing through the gap, but one thing can clearly tell you, once you ascend to the realm, you may become the first celestial master to suffer from the heavenly tribulation and lightning in three hundred years. β
Xuanyuan Qingfeng's face instantly turned white and colorless.
Xu Fengnian stood up, "Come with me, since you have voted for the name, I can make a big deal with you with confidence, what I give you is worth a lot of money, and the metaphor is light, so even if you promise it personally, I don't think you will suffer." β
Xuanyuan Qingfeng did not say anything to contradict the ground, and followed behind Xu Fengnian quietly, it seems that this encirclement and suppression of Han Mink Temple has been in vain, which has precipitated the lawlessness and outrage in her eyes.
Xu Fengnian pushed the door into the Tingchao Pavilion, and walked directly to the eighth floor with Xuanyuan Qingfeng, the vermilion robe yin appeared in the corridor, showing people with Jizo's compassion, Xu Fengnian smiled: "Don't enter recklessly, lose your cultivation in vain." β
Open doors and close doors.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng saw a scene that he would never forget.
Nine jade seals of various sizes.
Floating and hanging.
The respective hovering position is determined by the territory of the Nine Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Xu Fengnian stood still with his hands in his hands and said calmly: "Later Sui, Western Chu, Southern Tang, Western Shu, Northern Han, Great Wei, these six countries recorded in the history books after the fall of the country were all destroyed by Xu Xiao. In order to commend Xu Xiao's military exploits, the Liyang Imperial Court removed the disappearance of the Great Seal of the Western Chu Emperor, and the old emperor specially gave five of the heirloom jade seals to the Xu family at that time. At that time, the reason why Great Chu was regarded as orthodox in the Central Plains was largely because it was inherited to the carrier seal of the Great Qin Empire. Of the nine pieces you see, three of them are all imitations, just to make up the number nine, and listening to the tide pavilion is nine stories high, not for no reason. What do you want to ask, since the imperial court has only given five pieces, three imitations, and where does one come from? We are grasshoppers on a rope, and it doesn't hurt to tell you directly, the Beiliang Mansion has a private collection of the little princess who carries the luck of Xichu, do you see that the smallest jade seal is not? But four inches square, but it is the real Yang Seal of the Yellow Emperor of the Great Qin, as for the Yin Seal, I have entered the Mausoleum of the Great Qin Emperor in Beimang, but the person intended to hide his secrets, and he was only willing to take me to see the tip of the iceberg of the mausoleum. My younger brother Huang Man'er is not allowed to enter the heavens in this life, Hong Xixiang abducted my eldest sister, in order to repay the favor, the sword slashed the luck of the five countries, and the North Liangming face was not half a point, but with seven or three points, they flowed into Liyang and Xichu Qi Luck Pillar respectively. β
Xu Fengnian ignored Xuanyuan Qingfeng's stunned gaze, and pointed to the seal of the Western Chu Kingdom, "It was colorless before, no different from ordinary jade, but after the flying sword of the bull riding was killed, it was shining, except that it was still not as good as the imitation seal of Liyang, it was far superior to the brilliance of the seven treasure seals." This talisman array is something that steals the luck of heaven and earth, Cao Changqing is already preparing to restore the country, it is estimated that he will take back the seal of the Western Chu Kingdom in a few years, rather than being taken away by him for nothing, it is better to do business and sell it to you, you have carried it with you for the past two years and slowly absorbed it, and then it will be among the celestial phenomena and used to resist the heavenly calamity. Although the qi of the jade seal is only one hundredth of the dynasty, but you have it alone, I don't think you will be the shortest-lived master of the celestial realm in the world. β
Xuanyuan Qingfeng asked in a low voice, "Then your younger brother who was said by my father to be only a finger Xuan?"
Xu Fengnian tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "You still have a little conscience." There is one piece of the Great Qinyang Seal that will inevitably be lost, and there are the remaining eight. Besides, my Huang Man'er, I will never let him enter the Heavenly Phenomena Realm for the rest of my life, this talisman array, just in case. Besides, Huang Man'er is different from you, even if this talisman array is beneficial, it is a palliative rather than a cure for him, in the final analysis, whether it is your current Finger Xuan Realm or your future Celestial Realm, it is like a child's trick in front of Huang Man'er. β
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said calmly: "But I won't stop at the Celestial Realm. β
Xu Fengnian laughed, stepped and sneaked, stretched out a hand to hang in the air, and gently grabbed the jade seal of the Western Chu Chuan Kingdom.
Like a python dragon drawing water, as the jade seal was pulled into Xu Fengnian's hand, there were bursts of mysterious ripples in the air that were visible to the naked eye.
The other eight treasure seals were all trembling.
When Xu Fengnian held the jade seal, the water surface was like being wrinkled by the wind and gradually calmed like a mirror.
Xu Fengnian turned around and handed the jade seal to Xuanyuan Qingfeng.
Her face changed drastically, and her entire palm turned from red to purple.
Xu Fengnian gloated: "Don't let go of your hot hands." β
Xuanyuan Qingfeng endured the stinging pain in his heart like a knife, and said angrily: "Why is there nothing wrong in your hands?"
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "There is no poor worm in the world who is as blank as new paper than my luck." If before the Iron Gate Pass intercepted and killed Zhao Kai, as the eldest son of Xu Xiaoyan, I wanted to hold this Xichu jade seal, I am afraid that if I wanted to live, I would have to cut off an arm immediately. β
Xuanyuan Qingfeng almost fainted in pain, but not only did she not waver, but she clenched the jade seal even more.
Xu Fengnian sighed secretly, she was really an unreasonable crazy woman, and said: "Half of your life belongs to you, and half of it belongs to me, do you agree or not?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said bluntly: "Yes, but I have to wait until I enter the Heavenly Phenomena Realm and survive to count!"
Xu Fengnian smiled helplessly: "You will die if you suffer a little loss?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng snorted coldly, and there was an indescribable faint smile in his long and narrow autumn eyes.
Xu Fengnian walked to the door, "Wait a while, you can go downstairs by yourself." β
Before going out, Xuanyuan Qingfeng simply and neatly floated out of the house.
Xu Fengnian shook his head, closed the door, and went downstairs to easily find the stunned white fox face in the verandah.
Xu Fengnian comforted with kind words: "Hey, hey, hey, it's not shameful to beat the tenth Han Diao Temple in the world, this just means that you haven't entered the top ten yet." β
The white fox with the embroidered winter on his waist did not speak, and turned around and walked towards the building.
Xu Fengnian asked: "I'm going to the capital tomorrow, and there is a chance that Han Mink Temple will be entangled, are you interested?"
The white fox's face stopped, "Are you so afraid of death?"
Xu Fengnian muttered: "Kind donkey liver and lungs." β
The white fox turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't be in a state of mind if I can't kill Han Diao Temple, so that the realm will stagnate." I'm the same as you Beiliang Iron Cavalry, I have walked the sad road of fighting to feed the war, and in the future, there will be a few big defeats to eat, just don't die. β
Xu Fengnian didn't give up and asked, "Really don't go to the capital?"
The white fox said playfully: "What, do you think that the beauties in the capital are like clouds, and if you don't take me, the number one beauty in the world, you will lose face?"
Murderous, murderous!
Xu Fengnian, who was exposed to the crooked belly, fled downstairs in a hurry.
The white fox did not chase and kill, crossed the threshold of this floor, and his mood settled down inexplicably, and said sadly: "I didn't expect this to become a home, where should I die in the future?"
The afterglow fades and the twilight fades.
Xu Fengnian unconsciously came to the lakeside hut in the reeds, but instead of looking for Pei Nanwei, who lived here alone, he walked along a dirt path leading to Tingchao Lake, perhaps trampled by her many times, flat and soft.
The autumn reeds, which are taller than people, gradually turn frosty white, and the wind flutters like snow.
Xu Fengnian took off his shoes and socks and put them aside, lay down on his back, closed his eyes and rested.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a small sound in my ears.
The barefoot woman sat down on her knees beside him.
She was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "I'm happy now, you are worse than me, retribution." β
Xu Fengnian didn't open his eyes, and said softly: "Reeds made of reeds can be used to hang to ward off evil spirits, and the young stems of spring reeds can be used as flute membranes, whether it is evil spirits or flute membranes, the reeds are not for you to come to the grass man to curse me." β
Pei Nanwei put her chin on her knees, the breeze was blowing, and she said softly: "According to the laws of the clan, this year, the vassal king is going to Beijing to face the saint, do you want to go? After reading it, I willingly die here of old age. β
Xu Fengnian stood up, folded a reed, and sat on the edge of the wooden bridge, "I'm going to the capital, but I won't take you." β
Pei Nanwei said calmly: "Okay, then I'll continue to lay a straw man and curse you to die a good death." β
Xu Fengnian turned his head and said, "Believe it or not, a slap slapped you into the water?"
Pei Nanwei shook his head.
Xu Fengnian turned his head and ignored this woman who had never been able to carry her brain.
Pei Nanwei sat beside him, then raised his foot and gently kicked the instep of his foot, "Take me there, I have such an unfulfilled wish in my life, I can be a maid for you." β
Xu Fengnian said categorically: "No." β
"Not only do you call your uncle with tea and water, but also help you rub your shoulders and knock your back and call your son. β
"Not uncommon. β
"Accompany you to play chess, help you read. β
"How much is it worth?"
"When you are uncomfortable, the slave must be smiling and willing to be beaten. β
"I pity the jade. β
"Warm bed. β
"What?"
"Warm the bed!"
"Okay, it's a word! Let's leave for the capital tomorrow, remember that Yasu and glamorous clothes are brought with a few pieces, you can change them, don't forget the rouge gouache, it's not good to wipe too much, a little bit is almost the same. And then there is the time to warm up the bed......"
"I'm not going......"
"Really?"
"Hmm. It's good here. β
"You still want to fight me?"
Xu Fengnian got up with a smile, bent down to put the autumn reed on her lap, and left the reed swing with his boots and socks.
