June 8, Taiyang City.

On a painting boat on Changming Lake, all beautiful girls in blue skirts played on the bow of the boat, attracting passers-by on the shore to poke their heads to look at the flower boat.

Yan Sihai was dressed in a dark robe, standing at the stern of the boat, a gust of lake wind came to his face, blowing the robe fluttering, quite a bit of fairy wind bones.

"My brother found out Lao Zhou's business in the north."

Behind him, the old god was there at the moment, and Chang Sheng, who was sitting on the Taigong chair with his eyes closed, handed him a letter.

Even in Taiyang City, which is located in the Central Plains, in this midsummer season, it is not a little cooler than the south, because the nobles in the capital always like to run to the lake to hide and cool off at this time.

"He should be on his way to Youzhou now."

Yan Sihai looked at the content of the letter and said lightly.

Chang Sheng nodded slightly

"My brother told us to keep an eye on the movements in the capital."

Yan Sihai frowned

"He thinks there will be something going on in the capital?"

Chang Sheng thought about it and shook his head

"I can't guess what my brother is thinking."

At this moment, Chang Sheng's heart tightened inexplicably, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered the son named Fu Shuwu she met on the street that day.

"Old Yan."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you remember the boy we met on the street that day?"

Yan Sihai was stunned, I don't know why she asked about this

"What do you ask that kid for?"

Chang Sheng lay lazily on the chair, with a suspicious look on his face

"I could vaguely hear him say something to us that day."

Yan Shikaido

"It's just a little official who has committed a crime, what is there to think about."

At this moment, a girl in a blue dress ran to the stern of the boat out of breath.

Yan Sihai turned his head when he heard the voice, looked at the girl with squinting eyes, and laughed

"Oh, little peach blossom, why are you running in such a hurry, come to me for a drink."

As he spoke, he walked up to the girl named Little Peach Blossom, took her white and tender little hand, and was about to pull it away.

Chang Sheng glanced at him and cursed

"Get out of here."

Yan Sihai suddenly walked back stupidly.

Little Peach Blossom said breathlessly

"The city lord is not good, the little red flower has fallen into the water."

Yan Sihai was suddenly in a hurry

"What's the matter, on this hot day, don't freeze my little safflower."

As he spoke, he jumped up directly and crossed the middle cabin from the stern.

Chang Sheng said

"Let's go, let's see."

When Chang Sheng came to the bow of the boat, the group of girls in blue skirts were all pear blossoms with rain, and they couldn't cry, but they just stood at the bow of the boat and stomped their feet, while looking at the little red flowers fluttering in the lake, and cried the name of the little red flowers in their mouths, as if as long as they shouted hard enough, the little red flowers could come up by themselves.

A thick hemp rope was thrown in front of their eyes and smashed into the lake.

"Catch!"

Yan Sihai's voice came from behind them, the little red flower who was constantly drinking in the water, although it was splashing like a headless fly, fortunately, the thick rope that Yan Sihai threw was very close to her, and she grabbed the rope as soon as she could.

As soon as Yan Sihai was lucky, he pulled Xiao Honghua's whole person out of the water and threw it on the deck.

"Little Red Flower!"

The women in blue skirts surrounded them.

When everyone left the bow of the boat, Chang Sheng saw that their painting boat had collided head-on with another boat, thinking that it was probably because the girls were playful and didn't pay attention to the boat coming from the opposite side, and the little red flower fell into the lake in a hurry.

At this moment, the bows of the two ships collided together, and they were inseparable for a while.

But he saw that some people from the other ship had come out of the cabin and came to the deck.

A man wearing a hat stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai from afar.

Chang Sheng took the lead in nodding and said

"Xu is the girls in the family are playful and inadvertently hit Mr.'s boat, and the little girl apologizes to Mr. here."

The man's face was covered behind the hat, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he was dressed in clean clothes, although he was not a gorgeous dress, but it also showed that he was an elegant person.

The man saluted Chang Sheng and said

"It's offended."

Listening to the voice, the man was about past his prime, and his elegant southern accent sounded very pleasing to the ear.

At this time, Yan Sihai also stepped forward, but seeing his complicated expression, he looked at the pair of men on the boat silently, and did not speak.

At this time, another person walked out of the cabin of the opposite boat, and Xi Shusi, who was full of alcohol, staggered to the bow of the boat, looked at Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai on the other side, sneered, and said incoherently

"Hey, why are there two of these ships, am I dazzled?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and as a result, he still saw two ships, and saw two people standing opposite, one tall and one short, one old and one young, a man and a woman.

Seeing that the woman's face was beautiful and her temperament was like a jade mountain, she suddenly laughed and hooked the shoulders of the man in the hat

"Brother Pingchuan, this is the girl from which family you have fallen into, and my brother will ask for a kiss for you."

Chang Sheng heard the words of Xi Shusi's dissoluteness, and he was not angry, and smiled lightly

"Xishangshu, how are you doing?"

Xi Shu was stunned

"Yo, this girl actually knows the old man, it seems that the origin is not small, let the old man see which family you are."

As he spoke, he really looked at the past, Chang Sheng's face gradually became clear in his pupils, until he completely saw the person in front of him, and suddenly cold sweat broke out, and the wine had already woken up for the most part.

"The lower official should be damned, I don't know ...... the city lord is coming"

Chang Sheng didn't care about him, he just took a deep look at the man with the hat, in her eyes, this man was like a bottomless pool, difficult to see.

After a long time, the two ships finally separated, and the four of them were getting farther and farther apart, Chang Sheng said suddenly

"Lord Xi, this gentleman is a staff member of your house?"

Xi Shu nodded hurriedly and said

"Returning to the lord of the city, Mr. Hirakawa is a great talent in digging from the people, and now he is serving as the manager of the quarry outside the city."

Yan Sihai stared intently at the man with the hat, frowning slightly, Chang Sheng looked at Yan Sihai's expression and said

"What's wrong?"

Yan Sihai shook his head

"You just said that the son named Fu Shuwu, if I remember correctly, those officers and soldiers seemed to have said that day that he was guilty of hiding stones."

Chang Sheng nodded silently, she also noticed, but other than that, there was nothing else.

"If you want to verify what you and I think in my heart, just ask Your Majesty."

Yan Sihai lay down on the deck and said

"I want to go to you, I don't want to look at that old-fashioned human emperor all day long, after watching it for a long time, I'm afraid that my people will be stiff."

Chang Sheng shook his head and walked back to the cabin, too lazy to talk to him.

Where the bow of the boat passes, the lake splits into splintering shallow-shaped waves that continue to swell to both sides of the boat.

The man in the hat and Xi Shusi stood at the bow of the boat, staring intently at the waves on the lake.

"Is it really possible?"

Xi Shusi's cheeks were crimson, and he asked with a strong smell of wine in his mouth.

The man in the hat was silent for a long time, and nodded slowly

"It should be feasible, although I have never had the opportunity to practice, but the sketch has been drawn countless times in my mind."

…………

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion

"When are you leaving Beijing?"

King Xiang looked at the cloth light text in front of him, he seemed to be a little emotional, and he spoke with a trace of anger.

Bu Qingwen said

"It's fast, the chess pieces have been set, just wait for the start, and you can leave tomorrow."

King Xiang was surprised for a while, then quickly retracted his surprise and asked again

"How many men are you going to bring?"

Bu Qingwen shook his head and said confidently

"I'm enough."

"Smack!"

King Xiang was so angry that he couldn't wait to smoke in his seven orifices, pointed at him angrily, and when the curse came to his mouth, he couldn't open his mouth, he flicked his sleeves and paced back and forth beside Bu Qingwen.

After a while, he finally stopped, thought about it, and didn't know what to say, so he snorted coldly and shook his sleeves again

"Humph! Take your go! ”

Saying that, he left angrily.

Behind him, Bu Qingwen bowed deeply to the back of King Xiang, and then slowly left King Xiang's mansion.

…………

In the middle of the night, the cool breeze is blowing on the shore of Changming Lake, and on the various flower boats by the lake, it is very lively, and the palace on the other side is extremely deserted.

The sound of warblers, swallows and silk and bamboo, as if riding the cool breeze on the lake, blew from the lakeside to the palace gate on the other side.

Hearing this, the two Ouchi forbidden soldiers in front of the gate of the palace couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"It's been a while since you've seen that Crimson girl."

One of them looked at the guards on duty with him and suddenly teased.

"When I went the day before yesterday, she asked me about you."

The other person had a solemn face, staring ahead, listening to the words of his companion, and his heart suddenly swayed, but then his face changed and he reprimanded in a low voice

"There was such a big incident in front of this palace a while ago, and several brothers were dismissed, and you still have the heart to think about this mess all day long."

"What are you afraid of, isn't that rigor dead, now in the capital, it's peaceful."

While speaking, the two of them felt a murderous aura coming towards them at the same time.

"What people!"

After all, they are the Great Internal Forbidden Army, and the foreboding of a moment is enough to cheer them up.

But in an instant, they felt the back of their heads buzz, and the next moment, they both fell to the ground.

Two eunuchs stood behind them and knocked them unconscious, and then, they looked outside the palace gate, and more than a dozen black-clothed men suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road.

The two eunuchs gave them a look and waved their hands

"Quick! Go with us.

In the deep palace, the study of the human emperor.

At this time, the study was still brightly lit, and on the desk of the Emperor of the People, there were piles of folds as high as a hill, hiding the entire Emperor of the People's body.

"Sage."

Suddenly, Wang Huan's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in."

Behind the recital, the deep voice of the human emperor sounded.

Pushing open the door, Wang Huan walked in with a bowl of soup, looked at the human emperor who buried his head in the fold pile, and smiled

"Sage, it's late at night, the emperor and queen personally made you a bowl of five-color soup, tell you to drink it and rest."

The Human Emperor slowly raised his head, looked at the five-color soup in Wang Huan's hand, and a smile appeared on his pale face, and he stretched out his hand to take the five-color soup

"Why hasn't the emperor slept yet?"

Wang Huan lowered his head slightly, and outside the study, a gust of wind blew in through the open door.

"The emperor said that the saint worked day and night for state affairs, and she couldn't sleep calmly when she thought of it."

The Emperor of the People picked up the five-color soup, took a sip, and said with a smile

"The emperor was playful when she was young, and now she is getting more and more ......"

Before the words fell, the Human Emperor suddenly frowned, and as soon as the five-colored soup in his mouth was swallowed, he felt that something was wrong with the taste

"This five-color soup made by the emperor ......"

Wang Huan asked

"What's wrong?"

The human emperor's face was a little ugly, and he said

"It's delicious..."

Immediately, he looked startled and quickly threw the bowl on the ground

"This is not what the emperor did!"
