In Ruan's mansion, Ruan Mu was chatting with Bi Huan in the lobby while drinking tea.

Bi Huan smiled: "Brother Ruan, the tea in your house is good!" ”

Although Ruan Mu and Bi Huan are the emperor's right-hand men, they are respectful in front of outsiders, but they are full of words and swords. Especially when the two meet in private, they are a pair of enemies. But at the critical moment, it is to help each other.

"You're here today to have tea with me?" Ruan Mu was puzzled

Bi Huan replied casually: "Then what's not? Could it be that he came to you to discuss the matter of the prince? ”

Ruan Mu said unhurriedly: "The prince's matter, that's the emperor's business, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

"As the emperor's courtiers, you and I should share our worries! So, how does it matter? ”

"Worry?" Ruan Mu sneered, and then sighed lightly and said: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the affairs of the emperor's family, let's take care of it less." ”

"But ......"

Bi Huan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ruan Mu: "Have you forgotten the Jiang family?" ”

Bi Huan's heart trembled, he lowered his head, his eyes were sad and sad, and there was a trace of guilt and self-blame, he muttered: "At the beginning, it was me and you who were ordered to slaughter the Jiang family with our own hands. ”

"You cut the grass and didn't remove the roots, and you let go of the Jiang family."

"I just want to leave a bloodline for the Jiang family."

"Woman's kindness, Brother Bi, sooner or later your kindness will harm yourself." Ruan Mu looked at Bi Huan, and in those eyes, the original clarity had already become cloudy. The silent passage of time also left the marks of aging on his face. Ruan Mu sighed secretly in his heart, every inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time.

Ruan Mu sighed softly and said, "Ten years have passed, and the bloodline of the Jiang family should also grow up." The lives of his parents and the three hundred and nine people in the whole house, I don't believe he will let go. ”

Bi Huan sighed: "Everything is fate, let it be!" ”

Outside the door, a young man dressed in black walked in, the young man had a gorgeous face and was slender and white. Seven feet long, with a special demeanor. I saw him holding a sword in his hand, the scabbard of this sword was black, made of precious red sandalwood, and the scabbard exuded a faint sandalwood. Although the scabbard is monotonous, there is a Ruan character engraved on the sheath, which was originally Ruan Mu's saber, and was later passed on to the boy.

This young man's name is Ruan Anze, and he is the son of Ruan Mu.

Ruan Anze walked into the lobby and saluted, "Dad, Uncle Bi!" ”

Bi Huan saw Ruan Anze and said with a smile: "Little Anze, I haven't seen you for ten years, you have grown so big!" ”

Ruan Anze smiled politely.

Bi Huan looked at Ruan Mu and asked jokingly: "Brother Ruan, this An Ze has grown up, when will he go to the Beiyu Marquis Mansion to be hired?" ”

Ruan Mu explained: "In another two years! ”

"When An Ze was born when he was four years old, Mrs. Yu of the Beiyu Marquis Mansion became pregnant, and your two families have an appointment, saying that if Mrs. Yu gave birth to a county lord, your two families will become in-laws. You also asked the emperor to draw up a holy decree as evidence. Now, An Ze has also grown up, and the county lord of Jianing is becoming more and more slim, shouldn't you two complete the agreement? And I'm just right, I can ask for a glass of wine to eat. ”

"Big husband, start a business first and then start a family. Before An Ze did not make contributions, the word love would only affect his future. The county lord of Jianing has a noble status, and if An Ze does not have fame and fortune, marrying her will only wronged her. A few years later, when An Ze made a name for himself, as long as the county lord was still willing, I personally went to the Beiyu Marquis Mansion to hire. ”

Bi Huan nodded, listening to this serious old stubborn speech, Bi Huan knew that he couldn't argue with him, so he had to sigh helplessly: "Okay, good, it seems that this happy wine will have to be delayed for a few more years, alas~"

Ruan Mu looked at Ruan Anze and said, "Anze, what's going on here?" ”

Ruan Anze saluted, "Dad, the child wants to go out to travel." ”

"Traveling?" Ruan Mu nodded, "It's okay, it's better not to hear it, it's better to hear it, it's better to see it, it's better to know it, and it's better to know it." Learn and do it. Anze, it's good for you to go out and have a look! Knowing all things and meeting thousands of people, going through all kinds of life, and seeing the hot and cold of the world, you can practice! ”

Bi Huan also added two sentences, "It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles." An Ze, this time you go out to travel, I hope you can be broad-minded and quiet, and Baize will overcome all difficulties! ”

Ruan Anze bowed, "Thank you Uncle and Dad for your teachings, Anze remember." ”

Ruan Mu waved his hand, "Go!" ”

"Leave the child!"

Ruan Anze retreated respectfully.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Beiyu, Ye Zhen was sitting in the room embroidering flowers. A servant walked in and saluted respectfully, "Madam, the girl outside the door asks to see you." ”

"Let her in!" Ye Zhen commanded

"Yes!"

The servant stepped back, and a moment later a woman came in with a cloak and a cap, and she lowered her face as if she were afraid of seeing hers.

Walking to the door of the house, the woman saluted, "Meet Mrs. Yu!" ”

"How's it going?" Ye Zhen asked casually

The woman hooked her lips and smiled, "Madame, don't worry, everything is in plan." It's just that Mrs. said that after the matter is completed, let the prince marry me and let me be the mistress of this Hou Mansion, I don't know if it counts? ”

"Of course it counts, as long as you can do things well, I will allow Mao'er to marry you."

The woman smiled with satisfaction

Ye Zhen waved his hand, "Go down!" ”

After the woman had made a salute, she was taken down by her subordinates.

On the gravel road in the wide wilderness, Hua Che was walking alone and on horseback. Behind him there was the sound of horses' hooves. Hua Che glanced behind him and saw Jiang Lingzhu riding a horse following him.

"Phew!"

The two stopped.

"Ling Zhu, came so fast?" Hua Che greeted casually

Jiang Lingzhu chuckled, word by word, not fast or slow: "Senior brother wrote to me to come to Luoyang, saying that there was something good to give me, and after I heard it, I rushed here overnight." Jiang Lingzhu smiled evilly, and he stretched out his hand, "Where's the thing?" ”

Hua Che sighed helplessly, he took out the money bag from his arms, handed it to Jiang Lingzhu and took it. After Jiang Lingzhu took it, he looked at his helpless expression and asked tepidly, "What?" Can't afford it? Or do you regret it? ”

"How? Ling Zhu, I have never regretted raising you. Moreover, even if it is not easy to raise you, I still have to raise you. I'm going to feed you with the best things in the world. Not only money, but in the future, it will also make you powerful and powerful, and I will make you live a very noble life. Ling Zhu, if you have anything you like in the future, remember to tell me, as long as you like it, I can find it for you. ”

Jiang Lingzhu was happy in his heart, but he was silent on the surface.

"So what if I want the stars in the sky, the moon?"

Hua Che pursed his lips and said with a smile: "If you like it, I should try my best." ”

The smile on Jiang Lingzhu's face was a little more gorgeous.

"You two stinky boys, I've been looking for you around, and I'm actually here!"

Pozhu's voice broke and reached the ears of the two, Jiang Lingzhu smiled, and returned to a natural face.

Rags appeared in front of the two of them, he stood on the ground, Jiang Lingzhu and Hua Che turned over and dismounted, bowed respectfully, and said in unison: "Master!" ”

"You're going to Luoyang?" Pozhu asked

Hua Che nodded and said, "Yes, master, what about you?" ”

"I'm idle, so I'll join you." Rag said unceremoniously: "By the way, which of the two of you has silver?" I am hungry! ”

Hua Che looked at Jiang Lingzhu with both eyes, but Jiang Lingzhu glared at Hua Che, as if he was not willing to spend money.

Jiang Lingzhu smiled: "Master, what do you want to eat?" Senior brother has just made a lot of money recently, and he can just invite the master to have a good meal. ”

It's not the first time that he has been pitted by Jiang Lingzhu, and every time he is pitted by him, he can only be helpless.

Rag said with a smile: "Let's talk as we walk, Ling Zhu, give me your horse, and you and your senior brother will ride one together." ”

Jiang Lingzhu knew that he had pitted Hua Che, and if he rode with Hua Che along the way, he might not know how he would make a mistake and toss himself.

Jiang Lingzhu looked aggrieved, and said coquettishly: "Master, the apprentice wants to ride a horse with you." ”

Although the three masters and apprentices are masters and apprentices, they are like relatives to each other. Jiang Lingzhu and Hua Che respect rags as teachers, but more often regard him as their father.

Father's love is like a mountain, and over the years, in order to raise two children, rags have worked hard. The rags taught them how to behave in the world. When practicing martial arts and letting them read books, it is the most strict.

For the rag knew that if they did not learn their own skills, he would not be able to protect them for the rest of their lives.

Jiang Lingzhu and Hua Che are also very sensible, and they have never slacked off in reading and practicing martial arts. In Jiang Lingzhu and Hua Che's view, if there is a rag, there is a home. The two of them felt very distressed in their hearts, and they both wanted to honor him when they grew up.

In addition to practicing martial arts and reading and literacy, rags are particularly good to them in other aspects, as long as there are good things, rags will be left to them. I am afraid that they will be looked down upon by others in terms of dress, and they will be frugal in rags, and they would rather be sloppy themselves, and they will find ways to make the best clothes for the two of them, and they will try their best to make money for them to spend, so that they can live a decent life.

In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed, they have grown up, and the rags are getting old. Life is a ruthless knife, always silently, giving an indelible mark on the face of the face downstairs.

Rag sighed lightly, "You've been squeamish since you were a child. ”

Jiang Lingzhu only smiled and didn't answer, the two walked to the horse, Jiang Lingzhu turned over and got on the horse, sat in front of the horse, Pozhu sat behind him, and the three of them left together.

In the palace of the Yongchang Dynasty, in the Changle Palace, the Guidian Lan Palace. In the inner room, there is a beaded curtain and light yarn, which decorates the house. The incense on the side is still smoking.

In front of the dresser, Xi Cui was dressed in plain clothes and sat on a futon. She looked at herself in the mirror, her makeup was plain and elegant, fresh and refined.

A servant walked in and saluted, "Servant meets the lady!" ”

"What's the matter, let's talk about it!" Xi Cui is not fast or slow

"Back to Niangniang, the King of Qi and the King of Chu have returned to Beijing. I'm waiting outside Changle Palace. The maid reported

Xi Cui, who was originally calm, couldn't close her mouth when she heard that Chun Yuhao and Chun Yulong had returned to Beijing, and she hurriedly said, "Invite them in." ”

The servant saluted, "Oh! ”

A moment later, Chun Yulong and Chun Yuhao walked in with the servant.

The fourth prince is Chun Yu Hao, eight feet long, lean in appearance, and has public facial features. The fief is in Le'an County, and he is named King of Qi.

The sixth prince Chun Yulong, a martial artist, is short in stature, slightly fat, with a fleshy face and rude behavior. The fief is in Shanyang County, and he is named the King of Chu.

After the two walked into the palace, they saluted Xi Cui and said in unison: "Erchen meets the concubine!" ”

Xi Cui hurriedly walked over to help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Son, get up, get up!" ”

Chun Yulong and Chun Yuhao stood up, Xi Cui cried with joy, "Son, you won't come back for several years as soon as you leave, the mother concubine really wants you to think about it!" ”

Chun Yuhao knelt on the ground and blamed himself: "Mother, the son is not filial!" Worries you. ”

Chun Yulong said: "Mother, I'm sorry, I've been a child for the past few years." When I returned to Beijing this time, the child would not leave, and would accompany my mother and concubine in the palace. ”

Xi Cui smiled with a doting face, "Silly boy, you are the king of Chu, and sooner or later you will have to return to the fiefdom, how can you always accompany me in the palace?" Xi Cui said while helping Chun Yuhao up, "Come on, come on, let's get together today with our mother and son, let's not talk about these sad pasts, let's talk about family things and have some fun." ”

After Xi Cui finished speaking, he left with the two of them talking and laughing.

In the palace of Miao Jiang Gu City, Jade Butterfly was standing in front of a pool filled with blood. In the pool, there was a blood red, hot bubbles bulging in the middle of the pool, and there was something black bubbling up under the bubbles.

A subordinate walked in outside the door, and the subordinate walked behind Jade Butterfly and saluted, "Madam, Miao Li's group has left the Cold Snow Cave and arrived in Gu City." ”

The corners of Jade Die's mouth hooked up and nodded, "Very good!" ”

Jade Butterfly said, her eyes sank, and she turned around and held the clothes of the subordinate, only in the blink of an eye, and before the subordinate could react, she was thrown into the pool by Yudie.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!hhh

With a miserable scream, I saw that the black insects in the blood pool instantly crawled all over the person's body, including snakes, insects, centipedes, poisonous ants, and mice. The man struggled desperately, shouting, "Help! Save ......"

The things crawled into his mouth, his throat was choked, and the man's eyes widened with panic. Finally, after a short while, the man became a pile of white bones and sank into a pool of blood.
