On the eighth day of April, Seven Senses College.

The nights were still cool, but the midday sun was scorching. The students didn't have the heart to go to class, so they all went home after lunch. Su Yan picked a stone pavilion on the South Lake and began to fall asleep.

The shore was surrounded by greenery, the spring breeze blew the lake waves, and the water splashed on the stone pavilion, and bursts of coolness hit Su Yan's legs. She grabbed the handrail that the beauty was leaning on, turned around, and stretched her legs out.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I felt a sinking on my body, and she was sleeping comfortably, and she didn't want to get up, so she dusted it off. But the thing was back on its body, and it was heavier. Su Yan frowned and muttered, he really didn't have the strength to care anymore, so he fell asleep again.

I don't know how long it took for Su Yan to wake up slowly. The sunlight had already shone into the stone pavilion, wrapping half of her body, and if it weren't for the cloak, I am afraid that she would have woken up in the heat.

Only then did Su Yan realize that there was another person in the stone pavilion, who was sitting at the stone table, drinking tea slowly. This person is none other than Zuo Qing.

Zuo Qing saw her wake up, so she poured a cup of tea and put it on the opposite side, and pointed to the dim sum on the table, indicating that she could eat it.

Su Yan was naturally not polite, took a sip of tea, and swept away the dim sum empty.

Zuo Qing carried the only remaining teapot and poured another cup of tea for her: "It's really easy to get sleepy on this kind of day, what do you dream about?" ”

Su Yan frowned, but he couldn't remember if he had a dream. Zuo Qing said again: "The West Building has been gone for more than a month, and it is time to come back." ”

Su Yan's eyes lit up: "Has he really become a prince?" ”

"Of course, he is the only one."

Su Yan pondered for a moment, and then asked, "After he became the prince, how did it help you in your plans?" As soon as the words came out, she figured it out herself. The dignified prince of Yan Guo, the future king of Yan, is naturally a powerful backstage! Then he changed his tone and asked: "Although Yan Guo is weak, it is also a line of defense against Linguo, Xilou was named the prince, and after returning to Rongguo, he naturally became a distinguished guest, compared to the previous position of the head of the academy, I don't know how many times the stakes are great!" With such a helper, you will be able to achieve what you want! ”

Zuo Qing shook his head helplessly and smiled: "I don't count this, Yan Kingdom is too far away, and it is not profitable for me." However, if Xilou can become the prince, there is no harm in doing so anyway. ”

Su Yan pursed his lips and thought: Can you still do unprofitable things? The sun must not rise in the west!

Zuo Qing drank the last sip of tea, got up and said, "He will rush back on the day of my promotion banquet, and you can catch up with the old days at that time." ”

Su Yan was silent for a moment. Watching him walk away, I had mixed feelings in my heart.

In the Broken Cloud Xuan, the silk and bamboo are melodious, and there are many guests. Although the promotion banquet was the college's own family banquet, it was not sloppy, and with a wave of his hand, Murphy invited the chefs in the palace, and all the dishes were luxurious. In addition to the teachers and students of the college, there were also officials from various ministries. The sittings were full of Broken Cloud Xuan.

Su Yan Buddha sat in a row, with Jinyun City in his left hand and Leshengtang students behind him. The right hand is the teacher and student of the Drunken Cloud Hall. On the opposite side is the West Building, which has not yet arrived, and the Zuo Qing seat. The upper seat was reserved for Shang Shuling Murphy, and the rest of the guests were all placed side by side.

Before the banquet began, there was a faint sound of conversation between the banquets, and it was naturally the hosts of the two vacant seats who were talking. Su Yan listened to it for a while, and talked about the fact that Xilou was named the prince.

Su Yan was not interested in listening to it again, so he dozed off with a few preparations. Suddenly, I heard someone say: "The head of the West Building is the prince, and when I come back this time, I am afraid that I will not give up my marriage with Mr. Ge." Although the voice was very soft, Su Yan, who had a sensitive ear, could hear it clearly.

Su Yan suddenly came to his senses, and subconsciously looked at Buddha Zhen, thinking that she would react, but Buddha Zhen didn't hear it at all, and happily gave her the wine he had concocted.

Looking at the appearance of the Buddha, Su Yan felt very awkward in his heart. She always wondered whether her behavior with Xilou was right or wrong, and whether she was sincere to Xilou.

Perhaps, it will be clear when the West Building returns.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the outside of Broken Cloud Xuan suddenly darkened, and everyone looked at it together.

Zuo Qing slowly walked in from outside the door, wearing a brocade robe with dark fish scales and beads, and a silver-gray smock outside the brocade robe, on which a winged holy bird soared in the auspicious clouds. Between the fluttering wings, the silver powder is sprinkled on the auspicious clouds, dyed with a luster, and it is very noble and lonely.

His expression was quiet, his thin lips were lightly pursed, and he looked like an immortal outside the world in the surprised eyes of everyone, with a fluttering fairy robe and an elegant temperament.

In Su Yan's memory, he never seemed to be so dressed, it turned out that he was so good-looking!

Zuo Qing slowly sat down, his eyes swept over the guests in Broken Cloud Xuan, stayed on Mo Fei for a while, and nodded politely.

Immediately afterwards, the West Building also came, shaking his fists to the guests as he walked. The students all stood up and saluted the new son, and Su Yan also stood up and bowed.

When the guests arrived, Murphy ordered the food to be served. During the banquet, Zuo Qing first poured wine and thanked Murphy, as a righteous son, thank him for his kindness, and as a subordinate, thank him for his kindness. Although Murphy was unhappy, he still looked compassionate, and exchanged cups with him, a father and son.

At this time, someone said: "Zuo Qing, you really suffer." ”

The person who spoke was dressed in a cyan robe, with a leather belt around his waist, white skin and beautiful appearance, and this person was Liang Luan, the Shangshu of Zhongshu Province. The most incredible thing is that although Liang Luan looks like a flowery grass, there has never been a story about his flowers, but Murphy has been rumored a few times, which makes people laugh and be generous.

Su Yan looked at his appearance and couldn't help but sigh: The maintenance is so good!

I just listened to the other side and continued: "Your surname is Zuo, and you used to be the left master, so it doesn't matter, but today you are already the chief in charge, or if you are called the left in charge, wouldn't it be too wronged for you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there were several laughter from the officials.

Zuo Qing smiled embarrassedly and said, "Thank you Lord Liang for reminding me, but I don't care about this, and it is also the grace of my father-in-law to do this general business today." ”

"Oh, is it? Then should you give a toast to Lord Mo? Liang Luan coaxed.

"Naturally, it's a toast." As he spoke, he filled himself with wine and knelt in front of Murphy's case, "Father-in-law, the child is unforgettable!" ”

Murphy smiled and drank the wine, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Lord Liang is drunk, you can ignore his words." Then he lifted him up, and said to the people, "Today, my son has officially taken over the post of chief minister, witnesses!" ”

The guests all raised their wine glasses and toasted Zuo Qing to congratulate.

After three rounds of drinking, it was already dark.

Xilou got up and walked to Zuo Qing, and said as he walked: "The lord in charge is very happy, how can you not give gifts as a colleague?" Two years ago, I went to the northwest and got a beautiful jade, according to the local master, this jade is extraordinary, and it is the king of jade. I think it's the perfect time to give it to adults, so please smile. ”

Zuo Qing pinched the crescent-shaped jade on his fingertips and looked at it carefully, and the candlelight directly penetrated the jade body, showing the texture undoubtedly.

When Mo Fei saw this jade, he couldn't help but praise it from the bottom of his heart. Yan Zhen said indignantly, "I have seen this jade, but it is a good jade, there is no such piece for thousands of years, I thought that I ordered people from all over the world to find it, but I didn't expect it to be in the hands of the world!" ”

Xilou said modestly: "Coincident, it's a coincidence. This time I went back to Yanguo and got it unexpectedly. If the general likes it, I'll help you pay attention to it next time I go back to Yan Kingdom. ”

Yan Zhen snorted: "I'm not rare!" ”

Yan Zhen withdrew, and then a large number of officials, large and small, rushed to toast Mo Fei and Zuo Qing, and even Nangong Que was among them. A good banquet has become a field of interest for officials to curry favor with each other. Su Yan suddenly felt bored, sighed, and lay on the desk listlessly.

Xilou's eyes fell on her, and he couldn't help but smile, and instructed his subordinates: "You can let them come up." ”

In the lively Broken Cloud Xuan, music suddenly sounded, and it rained flowers from time to time. Falling flowers are colorful, like a fairyland.

Su Yan immediately came to life, pulled the Buddha and said excitedly: "Look, the petals have fallen!" ”

Buddha raised his eyebrows, and a sentence floated in his heart: Is this a brothel?

Su Yan looked at the petals flying all over the sky, and he saw Zuo Qing, who was a person she could not ignore, so beautiful, so good that she was discouraged.

She raised her glass and drank her sorrows.

The Buddha poured a glass of wine and said to the person beside him, "Do you regret it?" ”

Su Yan came back to his senses: "What regrets? ”

A look of surprise appeared on Fo Zhen's face, and he asked her, "Then what are you thinking?" ”

Su Yan finally understood what she meant, "You...... Do you remember? ”

"What do you remember?"

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It doesn't matter if you remember it or not, what matters is what you think."

Buddha's almost emotionless words made Su Yan frightened for a long time.

What does she mean by that? She hasn't forgotten? Come to think of it? Or did she deliberately pretend to forget so that she and the West Building could rest assured?

The petals fell, the music stopped, and then the smoke slowly rose, and the stage rose in the middle of the banquet, and the six dancing girls appeared in graceful postures. Broken Cloud Xuan has a wide range of uses, naturally at the beginning of the design and construction has prepared a complete set of facilities, for the lotus-shaped stage that rises out of thin air, everyone is not surprised, but admires the beauty and posture of the dancing girl, it is really rare. Through the ethereal smoke, a barrier seems to have formed between people, and it seems that they are far apart when they speak.

And the West Building is fortunate to have this natural barrier, and there are some things that shouldn't be heard, and it doesn't hurt to say it now.

"This time I went to Yan Kingdom, and I made a major discovery." Xilou whispered beside him.

His brows moved: "Liangshan? ”

"Do you remember Wu Shang? Recently, he appeared in Yan Kingdom and was bumped into by my people. ”

"In the country of Yan? What did he go to do? ”

"I met with a person, I checked, the person who met was from the country, and the thing traded was a gold mine!"

"Gold mines?" Zuo Qing was surprised: "Isn't Wu Shang unable to touch this thing?" ”

"That's what's weird. Looks like we'll have to arrest him and ask him. ”

Zuo Qing laughed and said, "It seems that you let him escape." ”

"This person is cunning and can't catch it at all!" The west building said helplessly.

The wine banquet is gone, and the night is in the third watch.

Mofu.

Liang Luan was drunk and lying on the concubine's floor, and he drank two large bowls of sobering soup sent by his subordinates, which was slightly relieved.

Murphy stood in front of the window, looking out at the moon outside the eaves. After a while, someone came rushing and knelt at the door.

"My lord, here's the news."

Liang Luan sat up suddenly, staring at the bamboo tube in the man's hand.

"Read it out!" Murphy said coldly.

The man's pupils fluttered. This is a secret letter, if the adults want him to read it, will it ......

He swallowed his saliva, but still unfolded the secret letter, and read tremblingly: "Su Yan, the people of Kuaifeng Town, Chu State, run the Hongju Tavern, Master Su Ming." The origin of his master and apprentice is unknown, but he arrived in the town seven years ago, and everyone in the town knows him. After reading, he opened another letter and continued to read, "Zuo Qing, Rong Guoren, once used the name Yuan Qin to visit Zhao State, and his whereabouts are uncertain. In the case of Zhao Guo, three families surnamed Yuan were found. One of the families moved out of the country 20 years ago, and the other was a blacksmith for generations, and one of the eldest sons of the family was missing, a similar age. The other household is the Weapons Villa, and the owner of the village is ...... It is the wife of Xuan Yuansheng, who was beheaded by the whole family ten years ago, the eldest son Xuancheng, the second son Xuancheng, and the youngest daughter Xuanying. ”

Liang Luan asked him: "What else did you say to the person you believed?" ”

"It's gone." He was sweating like rain, and he didn't dare to say a word more.

Liang Luan walked over slowly, walked in front of him, and suddenly drew his sword from the wall, held his head and wiped his neck.

Blood splattered, staining Liang Luan and Murphy's robes red.

Mo Fei turned around and closed the door and said to Liang Luan: "Do you think he is Xuan Yuansheng's son?" ”

"Don't believe it!"

Murphy stared at the blood-stained secret letters, and his heart was in a mess.

"He's coming for revenge, and everything makes sense!" Liang Luan said excitedly.

Murphy waved his hand and said, "Find someone and bury him, it's too bloody." ”

"My lord, are you still hesitating?"

"I'm thinking about how to set up a game to let him in." Murphy curled the corners of his lips in cold blood and looked back at him, "After raising my son for so many years, it's time for him to repay me." ”
