Three years in the blink of an eye.

Twenty-one-year-old Wei Zimo seems to have completely changed into a different person.

has changed from a handsome son with outstanding martial arts to an idiot and stupid waste.

"Mo'er, you go out with your father......"

Wei Fuli called three times in a row but didn't hear Wei Zimo's answer, so he opened the door directly.

Wei Zimo was standing in front of the window, looking at the two snow plums outside the window in a daze.

He still can't forget Mu Chenxue.

"Mo'er, what's wrong with you, didn't you hear your father call you?"

"Father!"

Wei Zimo seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and turned around and bowed slightly towards Wei Fuli.

He had a new pair of gloves on his hands, expensive sheepskins.

The glove that Mu Chenxue sewed for him, he has always treasured, and he will take it out every once in a while.

"Hurry up and follow me to the palace, the emperor has secretly ordered our father and son to meet."

Wei Zimo thought to himself: A twelve-year-old child, he doesn't understand, what's so strange about seeing or not seeing?

But Wei Fu Fence's orders, he could not not stop.

So he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, father." ”

Wei Fu has no heirs, and now Wei Zimo is already the son of Wei Wei Mansion.

Like three years ago in Xiyue Peak, Wei Zimo is a noble son in the eyes of people, a gentleman waiting for his father to seek him an official position.

……

The two came to the Long Live Palace, but the deacon and eunuch told Wei Fu Liang that the emperor had gone to Changle Palace.

In the imperial garden of Changle Palace, wisps of incense were rippling, but they couldn't soothe the depression of the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun.

"Bad luck! God is going to have trouble with my Han royal family?! Every emperor is not angry, even the peony is not angry, and every plant is sluggish, and there is no fresh appearance. ”

The queen mother blamed Hua'er for no reason, and Wang Mang followed behind tremblingly, his body arched like a shrimp.

Although Wang Mang is already the regent, the country of the Han Dynasty is actually still in the hands of Wang Zhengjun. To be realistic, Jiangshan is still surnamed Liu, or the Han family, and the jade seal of the country is still in the hands of the old Bodhisattva.

Wang Mang said that he was here to accompany his aunt to enjoy the flowers, but in fact, he wanted to use this opportunity to please Wang Zhengjun.

But after a turn in the imperial garden, the Empress Dowager's temperament changed.

Wang Mang wondered in his heart: Those autumn chrysanthemums are competing for beauty, no matter how you look at them, they are more eye-catching than the palace maids, but in the eyes of the empress dowager, they have all become dead branches and rotten grass!

muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to answer the words of the queen mother, and followed behind with a slightly hunched back, learning from his aunt, awkwardly taking broken steps.

Wang Mang didn't know what was going on in the Queen Mother's mind, but he knew that the depression and even resentment of his Queen Mother made these flowers very innocent.

Of course, the Empress Dowager's heart can't be said to have nothing to do with these flowers, she has always liked peonies. But where do the peonies bloom in autumn?

A person's mood, the influence of the environment is important. The blooming of a flower will make people melancholy dissipate; And the fluttering of a fallen leaf will stir up infinite melancholy......

In recent years, Wang Zhengjun has been in a very bad mood. Every time she was depressed, she would always go to the imperial garden to relax. But they all felt that these flowers were not pleasing to their faces, but added a lot of sorrow.

So he said cautiously: "My aunt is displeased, it is better to reward my nephew with two slaps, maybe it will be better......"

Wang Mang's mouth has always been sweet, as if it will overflow with honey from nature.

When the Queen Mother heard Wang Mang's strange request, she felt very strange.

"What does the displeasure of the mourning family have to do with you? Why do you want to reward you with two mouthfuls? ”

Wang Mang just can speak: "It is the honor of the nephew to be able to relieve his aunt's worries!" These flowers are dead and ignorant! But the nephew is alive...... Don't say that the queen mother rewards her nephew with two slaps, if you let your nephew exchange her life for the queen mother's pleasure, it is also worth it! ”

Wang Zhengjun suddenly stopped and said to Wang Mang: "You are now assisting the emperor in governing the country, and there is no need to say such things in the future, you will lose your identity!" If you really want to share the sorrows of your mourning family, you don't need to exchange your life for it. ”

When Wang Mang heard this, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down.

Wang Zhengjun softened his tone and said: "You have this heart, the mourning family is still very moved, so let's send someone to get a few tangled peonies for the mourning family, the flowers bloom brightly all year round, and the mourning family smiles every day......

"Twigged peonies?" Wang Mang panicked now: "Auntie, the tangled peony has been extinct for 20 years, and there is no such strange flower in the world, my aunt calls my nephew ......."

"Haha......" Wang Zhengjun smiled: "Look at you, a peony is difficult for you?" You're still a big Sima...... The mourning family has already inquired that in the Yunwu Mountain of Qianzhou, someone has cultivated tangled peonies. ”

Wang Mang was immediately overjoyed......

……

In the depths of winter this year, the clouds and mist mountains were covered with snow and became an ice peak.

On the eagle's beak cliff above the cliff, on the withered branches around it, there are two-foot-long ice cubes, like a sharp sword for life, flashing with fierce killing intent in the dark night.

Next to the eagle's beak cliff, there is a flat land less than an acre wide, and a small three-room stone house is built.

Late at night, a green light was silent, reflecting the anxious and wandering figure of a woman.

The woman's name is Hua Qianai, I don't know if it's really surnamed Hua, but her appearance is as good-looking as a flower, and it's also the kind of flower called the entwined peony.

At three o'clock, a woman in black floated into the stone house wrapped in wind and snow.

Hua Qianai anxiously stepped forward: "Master, are you chasing that flower thief?" ”

The woman in black shook her head, a little stunned.

Hua Qianai's eyes widened, and her face was strange: "Master, this eagle's beak cliff mountain is hundreds of feet high, almost vertical, and there is only a narrow plank road winding up, and ordinary people can't climb it at all." The thief was able to sneak into the eagle's beak cliff and steal the flower seeds of the entwined peony, and he did have some ability. But...... With Master's fog concealment skills, he will not be unable to catch up with the thief. Unless...... Master's mind was in turmoil...... Why don't you want to kill the flower thief? ”

The woman in black is in her early forties, and although she has reached the age of a half-old, she is also good-looking and beautiful.

Hearing Hua Qianai say this, she pretended to be angry: "Ai'er, if you talk nonsense again, you can see it as a two-petal mouth that the teacher doesn't sew...... Alas! Twenty years later, he would never be seen at Eagle's Beak again. ”

Looking at the dark eagle's beak cliff outside the window, his face was stunned.

After a while, a look of anger filled his face, and he said sharply: "Ai'er, that thief is going all the way south, you set off immediately, find out the identity of that person and the purpose of stealing the flowers, and take back the flower seeds!" ”

As soon as Hua Qianai heard that she could go down the mountain, no matter how difficult the task was, she was immediately ecstatic: "Master, you finally let Ai'er go down the mountain." Haha, that's great. ”

jumped on the spot a few times, grinning secretly, shrinking his neck, and trembling his shoulders with joy.

The woman in black shook her head slightly and sighed softly.

Then he said in a sharp tone: "Let you go down the mountain, not let you see the scenery outside the mountain, this is a task that can only succeed and not fail." ”

Hua Qianai hurriedly said: "I know Master, this tangled peony is a master who spent 20 years of hard work to cultivate successfully, the flowers bloom in four seasons, and the fragrance is ten miles away, how can you casually let the thieves steal the flower seeds?" ”

The woman in black nodded slightly, and said, "No matter whether that thief is from the imperial court or the rivers and lakes, we must find out his purpose of stealing flower seeds!" In addition, you must remember that you are only given seven days to become a teacher, so you must return on time! ”

Hua Qianai pursed her mouth, spit out the girl's fragrance, and said reluctantly: "Got it!" That...... Love your child...... The stalker went. ”

Suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, Master, if Ai'er is discovered by the thief when she recaptures the flower seeds, Ai'er can't guarantee that she won't hurt him." ”

Hua Qianai was thinking about something else, and when the woman in black heard it, she remembered the hidden danger of stalking.

With a black face, he advised: "You have such a big breath, can you definitely hurt him, not him hurt you?" Remember! Once you are discovered by him, there is absolutely no problem in escaping with the Fog Hidden Skill. If the thief does not forgive, you must strike first. Anyway, don't let yourself suffer! ”

After a pause, he said, "And you have to remember the characteristics of the thief, who is in his early forties, has no beard under his chin, and has a white whisker on each side of his temples that floats to his neck. You also know that the thief was able to climb the eagle's beak cliff and steal the flower seeds of the entwined peony, and his kung fu was naturally extraordinary. But compared with the fog hidden power, it is dozens of miles away. It is estimated that the thief should be fifty miles away by now, and if you rush over now, you should be able to catch up quickly. ”

Hua Qianai didn't speak, but thought in her heart: Since you have seen people so clearly, why didn't you capture him with your own hands?

With Master's kung fu, ten thieves are no problem. There must be something strange in it, but he didn't dare to ask again, for fear of causing the master's melancholy again.

"Okay, Ai'er will go down the mountain."

"Slow!"

The woman in black said that she would go out of the door, and returned in a moment, with an extra pigeon in her hand.

"This time I went down the mountain, I asked Xiao Ling'er to cooperate with you, as soon as your whistle sounds, Xiao Ling'er will appear at any time. Remember! After retrieving the flower seeds and finding out the identity of the thief, he fought with the thief as a last resort, and immediately passed the book to the flying pigeon for the teacher. ”

Hua Qianai said yes again and again, and I can't wait to go down the mountain quickly.

The woman in black said, took off a piece of jade pendant from her waist, and handed it to Hua Qianai: "This jade pendant is the teacher's beloved thing, and the carving on it is the blooming tangled peony." You wear it on your body, and when necessary, it will be of some use. ”

"Master......"

Hua Qianai suddenly felt a little sad: Isn't it just the next trip to the mountain to follow a thief, why did the master make it like life and death?

The woman in black's face softened a little, and said softly: "Go ahead, the good news waiting for you in the eagle's beak cliff for the teacher!" ”

Hua Qianai took a step forward and leaned a face of a closed moon and a shy flower on the shoulder of the woman in black: "Master take care, Ai'er will take back the flower seeds within seven days and find out the identity of the thief!" ”

As soon as he turned around, he walked out of the stone house, jumped three times and disappeared into the night under the eagle's beak cliff.

Hua Qianai disguised herself as a man, stole a fast horse after going down the mountain, and followed the flower thief all night.

The next morning, we arrived at a small town a hundred miles away.

The town is called Xindian Town, and fifty miles away is Xiyue Peak.

It was just dawn, and there weren't many pedestrians in the town. Ai Hanasa was just about to follow the flower thief into a small shop across the street to eat, but she felt a "tail" behind her.

"Huh!"

Hua Qianai sneered, there are still people who dare to follow him? Presumably, the man in black hiding in the corner of the wall is an accomplice of the flower thief nine times out of ten.

Playing tracking with the people of the Fog Hidden Gate is simply an axe.

As soon as the body shook, Hua Qianai's love disappeared.

On the ridge of the street side, there was a shadow of it.

The shadow flickered again, and the wind and snow fell behind the man in black.

Hua Qianai looked at the back of the stupid staring at the street, scolded stupidly in her heart, and suddenly made a move, hitting the spleen and acupoint of the man in black with two fingers, and the other party was stunned like a wooden stick.

The man in black was dressed in black, although he was not masked, but the hat on his head was pressed very low, and there was a black veil in front of him, so he could see the scene in front of him, but others could not see his face.

After all, Ai Hanasa is just a nineteen-year-old girl, and she is the age of curiosity. He was about to reach out and lift the mask of the man in black to see his true face, only to find that the flower thief had already entered the inn. I was in a hurry, so I said sullenly: "Let you go for the time being, after half a pillar of incense~ the acupoint will be unraveled naturally, but you dare to follow this ...... Shaoxia, next time I will not be spared! ”

Hua Qianai dresses up as a boy all year round, and this time he can't expose his daughter's body when he goes down the mountain. Her mission is to find out the identity and purpose of the flower thief and retrieve the flower seeds, so she doesn't have time to grind with the man in black. Seeing that the other party was stupid and stupid, he was easily subdued by himself, and it must be impossible for him to be an accomplice of the flower thief.

So he gave a warning, left the man in black, and quickly continued to keep an eye on the flower thief.

As soon as Hua Qianai left, the man in black glanced at the corner of his mouth, shook his body, sneered lightly, and then turned around and disappeared into the snowstorm.
