After getting to know me about it, my father's old friend Liu Li finally stopped talking, but pretended to be calm, pretending to peek at me inadvertently, as if he was a thief. I got goosebumps all over my body, and it wasn't as comfortable as I was chatting!

Less than a mile away, Liu Li suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "The city gate is in sight, Yi'er, my friend Quan Sheng is a great sage in the world, I will take a test for you, let me see this old man's legacy, how about it?" ”

Uncle Lu next to him slowly glanced sideways at Liu Li, his eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible surprise, and he instantly returned to his profound appearance.

I didn't think much about it, just when the old people met to study for their studies, I said respectfully, "Uncle Liu, the kid is only shallow in learning, and he is less than one thousandth of his father, if there is anything wrong with the answer, it is not that his father is not good at learning, but that the younger generation has limited ability, and I hope Uncle Liu will not blame." ”

"Haha, don't mind, just think it's a short way home." After saying this, Liu Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to me, "Child, what do you think, what is the emperor's mental technique?" ”

Damn! Where did I expect this Uncle Liu to ask such a question that I can't fight with my eight poles, for a while, my mind was blank, and I didn't know how to answer.

But there are questions and answers, and I began to bow my head and ponder, but I couldn't figure it out.

So, I raised my eyes and looked at Uncle Liu seriously, and I inadvertently glanced at Uncle Lu, the old man's eyes were also aimed at me at the same time, and there were many more complex emotions in his eyes that made me indescribable, there were hesitations, thoughts, and murderous spirits, but more, he seemed to want to hear the answer I gave Uncle Liu.

The six of us stopped on the side of the official road, like six trees growing unevenly.

A small crystal clear snowflake slid down the cedar branch on the side of the road and quietly landed on my forehead. I looked up at the trees, covered in silver, this year's Saibei, although there was no heavy snow, but it was also soaked in light snow. My thoughts were deep, I thought of the soft snow on the old man's mountain, the proud snow in the Lingyuan Mountains, the snow in Zhangwu County, and the smoke and snow in the mass grave this morning.

At the same time, I also remembered the old man who gave me 'purple qi from the east', the master who protected me all the way, the grandfather of the East who taught me to be a man and do things, and the father who had a good stomach.

There are a thousand kinds of snow and a thousand kinds of people. As my father said, there are many things in this world that are not right or wrong, only worthy and unworthy!

Perhaps, the answer in my heart is the answer that Uncle Liu wants in front of me.

I gently rolled up my sleeves, lowered my head and picked up a ball of snow, held back my strength, and threw it into the distance, and then, I gently bowed my hand to Uncle Liu, "Uncle Liu, the younger generation thinks: the king of sorrow, seek wealth; The prince of mediocrity, seeking things; The wise king, seeking people; And the Holy Monarch and the Lord, how can there be any imperial tricks, only the words 'loyalty to the country'. ”

Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Haha, what a loyal country, what a loyal country!" Yi'er, to have such a good character, the future achievements are limitless, when your father and I fight like you, we are still digging birds and catching fish, I didn't expect that there are talents in the country and mountains to ....... ”

The more Uncle Liu spoke, the happier he became, but Uncle Lu beside him was a little deep, as if the more Uncle Liu admired me, the heavier his mood became, and as Uncle Liu said more and more excited, Uncle Lu's eyes became more gloomy.

Uncle Liu didn't care about that, he put his hand in his arms, touched it, and showed a lost expression, I understood its meaning, and sent back all the sand fruits that had just been stuffed into my hand.

Uncle Liu picked up a fruit, took a bite, smiled at me, and said loudly, "Yi'er, you are really a roundworm in my stomach!" Let me ask you again, what do you think of the Chang'an Son of Heaven cutting off the world? ”

I said bluntly, "The country is strong, the government decrees are unified, the people are happy, and the momentum of all efforts is taken to resist strong enemies." ”

I thought of stopping here, but Uncle Liu looked at me directly, obviously he was not satisfied with my answer, and wanted me to continue, everyone was passers-by left and right, and I happened to be angry in my chest, and it was difficult to express it. But now that the prosperous world is peaceful, the monarch is virtuous, and the wealthy families are vying for power and profit because of their selfish desires, so that there are many disasters in one state and one county, but it should never be. And this method of clearing the world, the kid thinks that it is nothing more than two kinds of slow boiling soup and quick knife cutting hemp, it depends on whether our majesty wants to be Emperor Qin and Han Wu, or Emperor Jing and Emperor Ming. ”

Uncle Liu was a little surprised at first, and then nodded to Uncle Lu, as if he was very satisfied with my answer, but Uncle Lu's expression became deeper and deeper, and finally a cold glint flashed in his eyes, as if there was murderous intent, I thought I was dissatisfied with my answer, and I didn't care.

Uncle Liu patted me on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Yi'er, then, according to what you think, this son today is Yingzheng?" Or Liu Qi? ”

I said honestly, "Judging from what he did, he is inclined to Emperor Jing, but he is not Emperor Jing, he is good at scheming and temperament, but he has a slightly better face and is more like a temperament." ”

Uncle Liu continued to laugh, "Hahaha! What a temperamental man, child, you honestly, who said these words to you? ”

I also answered truthfully, "The senior, the junior's encounter with you in the western suburbs is a coincidence of fate, and no one deliberately arranged it. Therefore, what I just said was also from the heart, and no one informed me in advance. ”

When I said this, Uncle Lu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke, but saw a little chill in his words, "Too wise and close to the demon, too much demon is easy to break!" ”

As he spoke, a trace of green suddenly appeared in the palm of Uncle Lu's hand, I knew that it was the qi that the inbound literati revealed after their hearts were moved, and I couldn't help but be horrified in my heart, this kind old man who was kind when I first saw him, actually moved to kill me!

I, what am I wrong about?

Uncle Lu's words were amazing, and his shot was even more amazing, as the qi machine emerged from the palm of Uncle Lu's hand, the qi machine that was as bright as green grass, between Uncle Lu raised his hand, converged on the tips of his index finger, as the pure green gradually converged, his fingertips had a little essence of green, with Uncle Lu's breathing, constantly shining, and when the essence of green light shone to the extreme, Uncle Lu suddenly made a move, and the fingers wrapped in the gas machine quickly waved out, pointing at my fingertips!

And at this time, I finally came back to my senses, this old man Lu in front of me, this is trying to kill me!

In my hurry, I had nowhere to hide, so I closed my eyes and shouted, "Is it a sin in this world to tell the truth?" ”

Ying Cheng, who was closest to me, saw that my life was in danger, his eyes were round with anger, and he pulled out his sword with a 'swish', and stabbed at Uncle Lu.

At this moment, Uncle Liu, who was standing aside and lost his mind, finally came to his senses and saw him yelling at Uncle Lu, "Teacher, if you kill him, you will kill me!" ”

A buzz came from Uncle Lu's fingertips, and the old hand that was flying towards me stopped abruptly in mid-air, and in an instant, Uncle Lu's wide robe swayed, and the bright green quickly dissipated from Uncle Lu's fingertips.

And I, safe and sound.

The empty and uninhabited countryside is instantly quiet, and the green pines stretch out into the distance, merging in the starry sky.

I breathed a long sigh of relief, plucked up the courage to look directly at Uncle Lu, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, "Uncle Lu, they all say that there is a debtor and a debtor, tonight, my brothers and I are kind enough to lead the way for the two of you, if you don't thank you, why do you want to kill the killer?" Aren't you afraid of the wrath of people and gods in doing this? ”

Uncle Lu didn't pay attention to me, but looked at Uncle Liu, and asked in a muffled voice, "The wildfire can't burn endlessly, the spring breeze blows and grows, the trouble of a family has made the empire stormy, are you sure you want to make waves in vain?" Leave a great threat in the world? ”

"The words of the teacher are insightful. Yes, but. Uncle Liu's emotions suddenly became excited, he was hoarse, and shouted wildly, "Teacher, do you know that an emperor who sits on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is coerced into being crowned a prince in front of everyone, what a humiliation it is!" As the emperor of the Han family, I can't be ashamed in this life, what kind of face do I have to go to see the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs! ”

Uncle Lu said coldly, "You know, even if there was no Heavenly Demon Case back then, and there was no clan disaster in Gyeonggi, with my Han ancestral system, the eldest prince Liu Huai should inherit the throne!" So, that doesn't justify your waywardness! ”

I stood on the side of the two of them, watching the two of them face each other, and I was very puzzled: I think I have read poetry and books, but in any official classics, there is no mention of the 'Heavenly Demon Case', and in the wild history and miscellaneous conversations in the market, this incident is even more secretive, it seems that all the insiders have reached an agreement, and they have tacitly chosen to forget about this matter.

Hehe! But what do these things have to do with me?

I settled my mind and returned to the field.

I saw Uncle Liu's excitement stop abruptly, his eyes were blank, he suddenly turned his head to look into the distance, and said in a muffled voice, "Seeing Feihong drift west, his thoughts are boundless with the flowing water." Teacher, if even the woman I love dies unjustly, I can't get justice for her, what is the meaning of what I, the emperor, do? ”

Uncle Lu picked his nose, exhaled through his nose, and hummed, "This reason is almost the same!" ”

After speaking, Uncle Lu returned to his old appearance, he grabbed my shoulders and said softly, "Little friend, don't be afraid, the old man didn't really want to kill you, just make a show." The purpose of this is just to help you Uncle Liu take a sip of the resentment that has accumulated for many years and get rid of the demons. ”

Seeing that I hesitated, Uncle Lu explained with kind eyes, "Child, I am a literati in the Immortal Realm, and if I want to kill your little doll, I won't bother to think about it at all, just one look is enough!" So, putting on such a posture just now was just for show. Xiaoyou, you shouldn't be a person with a small belly, right? You'll forgive the old man, right? Well? ”

In front of this old man with a strange personality, I had no choice but to nod lightly to show peace, thinking: Is it true or false, I'm afraid, only you, Old Man Lu, know in your heart!

Ay! Society is too sinister, don't go out when it's dark!

After the little episode, we continued to embark on the way home, this time, Uncle Liu did not chatter, but Uncle Lu, along the way, he kept talking, leaving us at a loss.

From time to time, I secretly looked at Uncle Liu with my peripheral vision, and found that Uncle Liu was also observing me from time to time, his eyes and expressions were uncertain, sometimes hesitant, sometimes decisive, sometimes full of murderous intent, sometimes tender like water, which made me can't guess Uncle Liu's mood, but I vaguely felt that his mood seemed to be related to me.

Seeing Uncle Liu like this, my heart beat a drum, and I didn't dare to say anything more, just hurry.

I was speechless all the way, in a blink of an eye, we have arrived at the city of Lingyuan, I looked at the sky, at this moment should have passed the unitary hour, but the city gate is still wide open, the city guards are snoring, the scene in front of me, and Uncle Liu just expected the same, in my heart, I can't help but be surprised.

A group of us swaggered through the doorway and entered the city, and the gate behind us slowly closed, as if the gate was delayed in closing, just waiting for the four of us.

At this time, Huangfu Lu looked at Liu Li with admiration, and Ying Cheng couldn't hold his face because of what happened just now, pouted, and his expression was like dust.

The six of us stood on the street, and Shenshui Street was looking at it.

There is still an hour before the curfew. At this moment, in Lingyuan City, there is a cold air and moisture in the air, piles of snow are placed on both sides of Shenshui Street, pavilions and pavilions are painted white by God, and the inadvertent barking of dogs and a few lights on the adjacent streets of the deep alleys set off a little serenity.

I exhaled and smiled, for some reason, after the fall of the Liu family, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of sweet happiness, and the smell was always pleasant.

Fair! No exploitation! There is no power!

Father, perhaps, this is the peaceful and prosperous era you are looking forward to.

As one of the two main streets of Lingyuan City, Shenshui Street is still lively at the moment, wine shops, tea shops, cloth shops and other shops are still thriving, and the small West Market close to the city wall is full of people coming and going, shuttling endlessly, plus the little yellow hair that snowballs are snowballing in the streets and alleys, a prosperous county capital, which is immediately outlined by a little fireworks in the world.

After entering the city, it was time to part ways, I glanced at Ying Cheng and the three of us, and then, the four of us bowed to Uncle Liu and Uncle Lu together, "Two seniors, there will be a period later!" ”

"Huh? Oops? You kid, you're too unkind, the question I just asked, the answer you gave, I'm not satisfied, you think about it again, and then give me another answer. ”

Uncle Liu returned to the cynical appearance he had at the beginning of the meeting, stepped forward and rubbed my head, and by the way, he also smeared my hair with sand juice on his hands.

My father once said that I 'didn't follow him anywhere, just followed him with a good temper', just now, Uncle Liu touched my hair and puffed my hair into a chicken nest, replacing it with an ordinary person, I was already angry, but I was not angry, so it seems that what my father said should be true.

I cried and mourned, scratched my head, and said to Uncle Liu, "Back to the seniors, first of all, what the juniors said just now is really not taught. Secondly, last year, the younger generation had the honor to travel to several counties with a senior, and saw that the two things in Liaoxi, except for Le Er and Ling Yuanping Liu, both started from officialdom, imposed great policies, provoked their greed, and finally caused chaos, without any violation of human ethics, assassination and poisoning, which shows that His Majesty is good at conspiracy. ”

Looking at Uncle Liu's focused eyes, I continued, "Listening to the rumors in the streets and alleys, in fact, in recent years, His Majesty's actions have all been to lead up and down, and to keep the retreat, borrowing the officials and people of a place, except for the violence of a place, and never directly intervening in the crooked and evil ways. It can be seen that His Majesty has the heart to quell the chaos, but he doesn't want to make trouble, let alone leave a treacherous mark in the history books, which is his temperament. Of course, there are also people who call this face-loving! ”

After speaking, I turned around and left, but just after walking a few steps, I was stopped by Uncle Liu.

My heart churned, oops, it annoyed me!

But thinking that he was my father's old friend, I still stopped, suppressed my temper, turned around, and looked at Uncle Liu with a smile.

At this time, Uncle Liu's expression was more or less serious, he looked at me carefully, saw that my scalp was numb, and then asked me very seriously, "Yi'er, your Uncle Liu still has one last question, if you are the son of heaven, what should you do if the world is falling apart today?" ”

Hearing this question, I couldn't hold back and immediately arched my hand, "Mom! Uncle Liu, I haven't thought about such a profound question, and it is a big taboo to talk to you today, just wanting to vomit the bitterness in my chest. My father has promised me to open a restaurant in Beishi to establish a career, and it will open the next day, and the younger generation just wants to be a market citizen and spend a peaceful life. If you don't dislike it, please also ask the two seniors to cheer more, and the wine and meat are enough. ”

Somehow, when I got to the second half of the sentence, my heart was inexplicably empty, and I had a feeling that told me that I had just lied!

I didn't care about these details, I hurriedly arched my hand, and ran away like a rabbit, but Uncle Liu was tall and big, and after a few brisk steps, he pressed me in place again.

I looked at Uncle Liu's serious eyes, and felt helpless in my heart, it seems that if I don't answer this question today, I won't be able to leave!

Looking north, I suddenly thought of the people of Zhangwu who died of the epidemic, and the elders of Liaoxi who were hungry, I also became serious, and said solemnly, "The temple is windy and rainy, and the temple rests, as long as the military and political officialdom is smooth, the family will naturally not be able to jump." After that, it doesn't matter whether you want to stew Wang Ba on a fine fire or cut off the tiger's head with a knife. If, according to the ideas of the younger generation, His Majesty is anxious and has not completely stabilized the upper level, he is in a hurry to grasp the lower level, and in doing so, it will cost a lot of recovery! ”

Speaking of this, I looked at Uncle Liu, and saw that his face was solemn, and I suddenly remembered that Uncle Liu was a big man from Chang'an, Gyeonggi, in case I said this sentence decently, he returned to Chang'an and went straight to heaven.

Thinking of this, my spine felt a chill,

Uncle Liu finally let go of me, and I took my two brothers and left immediately. And Ying Cheng stayed, this kid was just coaxed by Uncle Lu's words, saying that he must take Liu and Lu to Yingfu to entertain them.

After walking a few steps, I looked down at the white silk in my hand, and suddenly felt indignant, and a nameless fire came from my heart and went straight to the heavenly spirit. Perhaps, the next day I will have a dull life, and the pride in my chest will not be released at this time, and when?

So, I immediately turned around and shouted to Liu Li's master and apprentice, who were standing still watching me, "Get rid of the evil!" Don't be indecisive! When the break continues! Suffer from it! ”

This time, Uncle Liu and Uncle Lu both laughed heartily!

Leave!

......

At the end of the day, I was exhausted.

The newly completed Wangnan Building is still in the middle of the North City, and the old location of the Wangbei Building is still used.

After the battle between the master and my grandfather Liu Xing in Qingheju, except for my father and second uncle, all the Lingyuan Liu family were confiscated by the law. After the mediation of Lord Ying, the Wangbei Tower, which was merged by the Qingyin Pavilion, returned to the hands of Boss Xia, and Boss Xia changed the name of Wangbei Tower to Wangnan Tower according to my thoughts.

A few days ago, the spring-breezy Boss Xu walked across the overpass and returned the title deed of Wangbeilou to Boss Xia, and the two released their suspicions, and then hit it off and retained the overpass connecting Qingyin Pavilion and Wangnanlou.

It seems that these two people are planning to work together to make money.

However, on that night, the owner of the North Tower became me.

At the beginning, I was resolutely unacceptable, under the excuse of "enjoying Qingfu" by Xia Boss, I finally opened the Wangnan Tower that I dreamed of, but it was not opened in the prosperous Chang'an, but in this Lingyuan City, which is only a dime in the Han Empire.

In fact, it's good to think about it, there are so many people in Chang'an, I will recognize it.

The newly built Wangnan Building has a total of four floors, the first three floors are the same as the Wangbei Building, under the consultation of me and Xia Boss, I hired a craftsman to build, and opened a 20-zhang longitudinal and horizontal hut on the roof of the hollow outer ring, so as to use it for private use.

This small room protrudes from the top of the building, surrounded by windows, with a floating ladder below, there are only tables and chairs in the house, and there is a locked small box, which is the water avoidance beads and the "Stone Whale Sword" left by the master, according to my original intention, this small house is reserved for Boss Xia to watch the stars at night, but it backfired, this small house, and finally became my treasure and government house.

At this moment, Boss Xia and I are sitting side by side in a single room on the third floor, each person with a bucket, soaking our feet in hot water. Wangnanlou was about to open the door to welcome guests the next day, and some trivial matters were really busy with Boss Xia, and before he could chat with me for a few words, he shook his head and went back to his room to rest for days.

In the quiet night, I reached out and opened a small window, looking at the winter moon, the cold was bleak, I clenched my fists, and tears the size of beans still flowed out. After crying enough, I sat alone and gradually emptied my heart.

I am a person who is free and loose by nature, I don't like to be restrained, I never want to deceive this or take advantage of that, all my ambition has been to be free all my life.

But when I was really free, I found that I was not so free.

During my one-year trip to Bozhou, I saw the sky and the sea, and I had a desire in my heart, which was the desire to achieve fame, the desire to be powerful, and the expectation of achieving great things, which was contrary to my quiet and far-reaching heart, and until now, I have not thought clearly how to deal with this desire.

Perhaps, my heart has quietly changed.

Looking back, within a month, the teacher passed away, the virtuous returned to heaven, and the Liu family, which I had never lived in life, but had the same ancestry, was ruined, and the joys and sorrows of people in this life were nothing more than that!

The road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the mountains, it is drowning in the water, and the road ahead is dangerous.

The road is difficult, not in the water, not in the mountains, only in the past.

Ay!
