Kou Sibian and Hai Yuntian have been staying in Kyoto for five days.

The elixir of the two carriages had been sent to the side by side palace.

The two were waiting for the checkout, and they originally said that they would settle the bill on the same day, but after the delivery, they were told that the housekeeper was not at home, so the two had to wait.

This kind of thing is ordinary and ordinary - usually the powerful consignee will basically delay the settlement for a few days.

But there is never anyone who dares to repay the debt.

So Kou Sibian and Hai Yuntian were not in a hurry at first.

I found an inn nearby and stayed there.

For the first two days, I was still leisurely, drank a little wine, and waited patiently.

After all, the prosperous scenery of the imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty is unparalleled in the world. Although the two of them are from the rivers and lakes, they are also dizzy when they enter such a first-class prosperous place in the world, and they have walked around and bought a lot of things.

But from the third day, the two were a little unable to sit still.

In the next few days, there were many people who came to invite wine banquets, and there was an endless stream, each of them was powerful and powerful, and the two of them couldn't remember it directly.

But he always adhered to the instructions of his eldest brother and refused them all.

Finally the day has come......

"Third child, you said that there would be no conspiracy in this side by side palace, right? Why are you dragging us back? "Haiyun Heavenly Dao.

"First, when I came, the eldest and second said that you should play less of your crow's beak attribute. So you talk less. ”

Kou Sibian snorted, rolled his eyes and said, "Second ......, Lao Tzu is your third brother!" Don't be the third old, who are you called? Do you have what it takes? ”

Hai Yuntian was bored, and said angrily: "Didn't I discuss things with you...... You don't even have a few tendons in your head...... Don't you need me to use your brain? Look at the third brother's shelf you served...... It's up to heaven! ”

Kou Sibian ignored his dissatisfaction, drank with relish, and said: "Although I don't have your brain, I also understand that this side by side palace must have a plan." But when it comes to default...... Hehe, it's not that your third brother is exaggerating, in this whole world, who dares to rely on our brother's account? ”

Hai Yuntian sighed: "I naturally know that no one dares, but ...... But it doesn't have to be that there are no plans and tricks on this......"

Kou Sibian frowned: "For example? ”

Before Hai Yuntian could answer, he heard a laughing voice from downstairs: "Third Master Kou and Fourth Master Hai are good, the villain was ordered to invite the two masters to the banquet." ”

"Who is the master of your house?"

"The master of my family is Wei Tianci, the third prince of the palace, side by side, and I also invite the two masters to appreciate their faces."

"Oh?"

The two of them wondered, what are we asking us to do with such a noble man?

However, other people can refuse, but this is side by side...... But he still presses his own goods.

You have to wait for someone to settle the bill, and it's not good to offend too hard.

The two of them thought about it for a while, and simply went to eat for nothing. It's PR......

But after eating this meal, the two of them felt even more wrong.

There are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, fine wine and delicacies, and flowing water.

The silk strings are melodious, and the maids are like clouds.

The ultimate in luxury.

The third prince Wei Tianci was clothed in brocade and golden, his face was like a crown of jade, and the jade tree was in the wind.

The words are warm, the attitude is kind, and it can even be said to be approachable.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the little prince finally began to show his tail.

"Although the rivers and lakes are vast, although Kyoto is restricted, the rivers and lakes have the shortness of the rivers and lakes, and the court has the joy of the court; Fighting the sword rivers and lakes, smiling proudly, of course, is chic and free...... However, it is also a joy of life, and it is the greatest pursuit of more than ninety percent of people in the world......"

"As the saying goes, if you learn literature and martial arts, you can sell them to the emperor's family."

"Xiao Wang has always envied the chivalrous warriors on the rivers and lakes, free and easy, strong in martial arts, and when the road is uneven, he draws his sword to help...... What a pleasure, what a dashing ......"

"However, Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban; But it is also the truth. ”

"Xiao Wang is not talented, relying on his father, he can be regarded as having some energy; And I'm looking for talent side by side in the palace...... Today, I saw the legendary master, a dragon-like master, I was really honored and excited, and I expressed my heart through wine......"

The little prince Wei Tianci said very sincerely: "I want to hire two as guests of the palace, I don't know if it is possible." ”

Without waiting for the two to refuse, he quickly continued: "Xiao Wang has prepared two sets of three-entry mansions, each of which has eight virgin maids, all of whom are from the royal draft...... Thirty men, eight guards, one butler, four cooks...... To ensure that the two of you have an official position of more than seven grades, you can be promoted with merit, and marry a wife in the future, and Xiao Wang is responsible for asking for a decree for his wife...... If you have children in the future, you can study in the Chongwen Hall of the Imperial Family, or the prince can study...... Pave the way to the clouds! ”

These words made the eyes of several master guards around the third prince glow green.

Such a large amount of money is simply appalling.

As long as the two of them nod their heads, two new families are rising!

The wealth and glory of thousands of generations.

Kou Sibian said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, but my two brothers are savages in the mountains, and they have always been free and accustomed to ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Shizi interrupted again: "You two don't have to rush to refuse...... You can go back and think about it, whether you say yes or not, we are all friends. ”

Then he raised his palms and said solemnly: "But what Xiao Wang said today is from the bottom of his heart. If there is half a lie, or if there is anything that cannot be done in the future, God will abandon it, and I am willing to swear to die with broken bones, and I will never be reborn! ”

I made such an oath directly!

The whole banquet suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's faces were shocked.

Next, nothing was said; It's just to drink and get drunk.

（2）

Seven days later, Kou Sibian and Hai Yuntian got the payment for the palace side by side, and returned from the capital with two sleeves of gold.

On the way, both of them looked a little solemn.

After leaving the capital for hundreds of miles, he finally began to speak.

Kou Sibian said in a deep voice: "Fourth, what the third prince said, don't really be moved; I don't think that guy is a good person, don't let him fool you. ”

Hai Yuntian smiled: "Third brother, what are you talking about...... How many times have you mentioned it in the past few days, I'm worried that you're moved. ”

"Fart! Am I that kind of person? ”

Kou Sibian snorted and said, "Lao Tzu doesn't know a lot of big characters, what kind of official is he?" It's you, kid, but you have to recognize clearly, these princes and nobles, there are no good things. ”

"What the third brother said is that you and my brothers are side by side, how carefree. Why bother to be a broken official and be clamped down? ”

"I'm relieved that you can think so."

"Hahahaha...... Hurry up; This trip was a fortune. It's enough for us to be comfortable for more than ten years......"

"Hehe, I guess the boss can be surprised by us when they see it, the price of this trip is really unexpectedly rich......"

……

Heian City.

The city lord Wang Lishen had already invited Zhuang Bieli to the secret room.

"Let's go. It's not something that I, a little city lord, can bear anymore. ”

"Sangou, what's wrong?"

Wang Lishen and Zhuang are fellow villagers and friends who grew up together since childhood, but one lives in the rivers and lakes, and the other enters the official career.

The three dogs are the nickname of the city lord Wang Lishen.

As for Zhuang Bie's nickname, it is even more difficult to explain.

Erwangni.

It is Zhuang Daxia's nickname.

Zhuang Bieli is the second oldest in the family, and his father and mother want a daughter; Therefore, the old nature is called Da Wangni, and the second is called ...... Ahem.

After walking the rivers and lakes, Zhuang Bieli changed his name.

There's really no way to do it.

"Who's coming?"

"Nai He sword, Zhuang Er Wangni!"

That kind of scene, I really have stomach cramps when I think about it.

Zhuang Beili felt that if that was the case, the enemy would not be able to kill himself at all, and he would die of laughter by himself.

Therefore, under such a serious occasion of such a heavy topic, Wang Lishen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Zhuang Er Wangni, can you not call me by my nickname?"

"Okay, Wang Sangouzi."

“……”

"Good, good...... Seriously. Zhuang Bieli began to apologize.

"I was wrong, it was my fault, I shouldn't have called you Sangou, let alone Wang Sangouzi...... Lishen, Lishen brother...... Forgive me, I'll never call you three dogs again......"

Although this fellow is powerless, he has a big temper, and he doesn't care about his reputation as a sword, and he is not afraid that he is the murderous king of Hades on the rivers and lakes...... angered him, covered his face and scolded, and when he spit Xingzi sprayed his head, he was still unlucky.

Because you can't do anything with him......

After listening to Zhuang Bieli's apology, Wang Lishen held a deep breath in his throat and almost suffocated.

The whole body trembled, his face turned pale, he opened his mouth and stammered for a breath, and then he gasped for breath, and suddenly began to thunder and rage: "Zhuang Erwangni, you killing a thousand knives, you killing embryos without conscience, you ...... wolf-hearted dogs."

is worthy of being a reader, all kinds of scolding words, Wang Lishen scolded for half an hour, and he couldn't breathe before stopping!

Zhuang Bieli humbly bowed his head and was scolded, and finally said sincerely: "I won't tell others, your name Wang Lishen, in fact, wants to take the body of the body, but at that time, I didn't have much literacy, and it became a deep ...... In fact, it's all the same, and it's better to stand in deep water, the mainstay; Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it......"

Once again, the scars have been painfully revealed!

Wang Lishen was already angry to the point of dying!

"You, you...... Zhuang Er Wangni...... You ...... you" Wang Li shuddered, his lips trembled, and his eyes almost popped out: "...... I'm going to break off my friendship with you! From now on, cut off the robe and cut off righteousness! …… You ......"

With a brush, he pulled out his civil official sword, the gentleman's sword, and picked up a piece of robe and was about to chop it off.

"Don't, don't...... I was wrong...... I'm wolf-hearted...... I can't live with my brother......"

Zhuang Beili hurriedly apologized, bowed to the end, begged for mercy again and again, and mourned: "Brother, brother...... Silence the thunder and pause the wrath...... Brother...... I was wrong...... I'm not a good thing......"

Under Zhuang Bei's gambling curse and swearing, and bowing down and making a small apology, Wang Dacheng's face was slightly pale, and he pretended to be angry: "I will spare you today, and next time I will play cheap in front of me, beware that I will not get along with you for old age." ”

A smug smile appeared on his face that seemed to be angry.

Hum! From childhood to adulthood, I can't cure you?

Zhuang Bieli's divine sense had already noticed that this thing was snickering arrogantly, but he didn't expose it.

If this is exposed, it is estimated that it will really be difficult to coax.

sighed in his heart: "Reading people are hypocritical...... What does this look like...... Haven't you been coaxed by Lao Tzu's two sentences? Playing together since childhood, I can't cure you? ”

（3）

"What the hell is going on? Even you, the city lord, can't handle it? ”

Zhuang Bieli's little joke livened up the atmosphere for a while before asking.

"I didn't think of it myself...... The wind and waves will set off such a big ......"

Wang Lishen's face darkened: "If I had known, I wouldn't have let you come at all." ”

"Be specific."

"It's too complicated to understand in your head."

Wang Lishen still stabbed Zhuang Beili before sighing and saying, "It's not just a matter of the Great Wei State now...... But I'll tell you about the Great Wei Kingdom first. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Side by side Wang Wei Wuji is seriously ill, you know about this."

"Of course."

"This is the most obvious, Wei Wuji is the first prince of Great Wei, and he is a strong supporter of the crown prince...... In the royal family, except for the crown prince, including the emperor, they all wanted him to die...... Therefore, the divine doctor can't see Wei Wuji, let alone be optimistic. This is one of them. ”

"Above the court, most of the generals want Wei Wuji to die, because with him pressing, no one can come out...... There are also Wei Wuji's diehards, and interested parties, who must let him live, even if he only hangs in one breath, he is still alive...... Do you understand that? ”

"Totally understood."

"Wenchen's side, Xiangye Taishi and several Shangshu don't want Wei Wuji to live......"

"Understood." Zhuang Beili sighed.

It's complicated.

"You know a!" Wang Li looked at him with deep disdain and burst out foul language.

"Huh?"

"Ahhhh And the emperor, the emperor is old, and he has not been for a few years...... Except for a few old ministers who had not yet chosen a camp from the dragon...... Others, including the crown prince, including the other princes, didn't want him to live......"

In the face of Zhuang Bieli, a man from the rivers and lakes, and a friend of his own family, Wang Lishen did not shy away from anything, and said directly - he was afraid that what he said would be more obscure, and this second-rate son on the rivers and lakes who had been stupid and straightforward since he was a child and did not learn and did not know anything would not understand......

Zhuang Beili gasped.

This vortex is enough by now.

"And ......"

"And?!" Zhuang Bieli was shocked.

"You know a fart, where is this?"

Wang Lishen said angrily: "Shut up, just listen!" ”

"The imperial doctor has already obtained the prescription prescribed by Miss Mu, and even ...... Residue after decoction...... Draw a conclusion. ”

Wang Lishen's eyes were deeply fixed on Zhuang Bieli's face. Especially the eyes.

"This wooden girl...... As long as you are willing to prescribe medicine, the emperor and the king side by side can live a long life! ”

The muscles on Zhuang Bieli's face spasmed.

"And...... They thought of it...... Leng Bixiao, with ...... Travelogue! ”

Wang Lishen said word by word.

Zhuang farewell noodles like the bottom of the pot!

And then they doubted...... This wooden girl is what Bixiao said in her travelogue...... The goddess! Wang Lishen stared at Zhuang Bieli's eyes deadly.

"The medicine is the same medicine, but the color of the boiled medicine is different, the effect is different, and the fragrance is even different!"

"After checking all the medicine residues they had in their hands, they found that there was one more thing in it......" Wang Lishen's lips were also trembling.

"What's that?" Zhuang Bieli only felt that his mouth was dry.

"Leaves! Smash the smashed leaves! ”

Wang Lishen's voice was full of fear: "Maybe dozens of dregs of medicine can form one or half a leaf...... Although crushed into powder...... But that's the leaves! ”

"It can only be leaves!"

In the secret room, neither of them spoke.

There was only a sharp wheezing.

What is the concept that just a few leaves can be brought back to life after being crushed?

Isn't this proof that what Leng Bixiao's Bixiao travelogue said back then is true!?

Wang Lishen looked at Zhuang Bifarean, and his voice was very dry: "Old Zhuang...... Do you know who you're bringing this time? ”

Zhuang Bieli shook his head weakly.

"Then do you know that now it doesn't matter if you want the emperor and Wei Wuji to die or the people who want them to live, including the emperor and the king side by side...... They all want to eat Mu Xin'er's meat!? ”

"They don't want to heal anymore, you know?"

Wang Li took a deep breath: "They want immortality...... Do you understand? ”

"Because if Mu Xin'er is really that goddess...... Then if you eat a bite of her meat, you can live forever! How tempting this is, do you understand? ”

"Do you think this kind of thing is just in Great Wei?"

"Da Zheng, Da Han, Da Qi...... It's all moving this way, what is the goal, don't you understand? ”

"The masters of the entire world, regardless of black and white, are concentrating here, you know? How much do you know about who among them is for themselves and who is under the command of others? ”

Wang Lishen questioned repeatedly.

Zhuang Bieli took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Miss Mu is just an ordinary woman...... She is not a goddess. ”

Wang Lishen sneered: "Do you believe what you say?" ”

（4）

Zhuang Bili gritted his teeth and did not speak.

"Maybe you didn't really know it at first, but after all the miracles she's done, you don't know it?"

Wang Li sneered.

Zhuang said goodbye to him.

"You have two paths to go now." Wang Li said deeply.

"What way?"

"The first way, choose a side, dedicate Mu Xin'er, in your life, you will be able to rise to the top, seal your wife and son, be glorious and rich, and become a new family from generation to generation...... It will not fall for thousands of years. I can do this with complete certainty! ”

Zhuang Bieli's eyes suddenly turned red, and he roared: "You fart!" ”

Wang Lishen snorted and said, "I know that you can't do this, so you only have one way left...... Protect Mu Xin'er and leave quickly...... Hurry up and wander the rivers and lakes...... Don't let anyone know your whereabouts...... Since then, he has been living a life that is not visible...... As long as it is exposed, there is only one dead end! ”

"Well, of course there's a third way, and that's ...... When you fled, you were hunted down...... And then your strong seed is still a dead end in the end, and Mu Xin'er was finally divided and eaten......"

Zhuang Biali clenched his fists and gasped.

Wang Li said coldly: "Don't think that your so-called Nai He Sword, the so-called Four Swords of the Rivers and Lakes, is so awesome...... Those officials want to kill you, it's no different than killing a bed bug, and it won't take much effort. ”

"You have nothing to praise in their eyes. No matter how high your martial arts are, can you resist the army? ”

Zhuang said goodbye to him.

Wang Lishen slowly stood up.

Slowly walked to the door, and said hoarsely: "Erwangni, take this woman away." Henceforth, forever...... Don't be in this world either...... Don't let this woman show any more miracles...... Because, the mainland cannot afford the ...... of an immortal king."

"Tonight, a curfew will begin in Heian City. Officials and civilians are not allowed to go out. If you find it, you will not be forgiven! ”

"In the south of the city, the shift will be handed over at the right time."

After speaking, he stepped out.

Zhuang Bieli whispered behind him: "Thank you, Sangou." ”

He knew that a farewell tonight would be a farewell!

Whether he lives or dies, he is destined not to see this childhood friend again.

Wang Lishen came to see him tonight and took a huge risk.

It was also the last thing he did for himself.

Longevity and long-term vision, all diseases are not invaded, Wang Lishen doesn't want to?

But for the sake of himself, or for the sake of the simple beauty of his childhood, he rejected this temptation.

If it leaks out, what he pays is his career and his life.

At the door, Wang Lishen's body trembled, and he said a little hoarsely: "Let's go...... Maybe I'll regret it tomorrow......"

After saying that, he went out without looking back.

Leave four words.

"Brother, peace."

Zhuang Bieli only felt that his breath was in his throat, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, Wang Lishen was gone.

Brother, peace.

You are my brother, and in any case, with me, I give you peace.

If you come to my city of peace, then I will make you peace.

If you leave today, I wish you a safe life and a safe journey.

This is also the last blessing of the brothers.

Zhuang Bieli took a deep breath, didn't say anything, and turned away.

Lightning-fast exit through the secret passage.

Eliminated all the breath of himself, all traces.

Along the way, it was like a puff of green smoke, and it went straight to the Compassion Hall.

Along the way, I only felt a heart, suddenly as cold as ice and snow, and suddenly as warm as coals.
