Midnight.

The night is lonely and easy to dream, and it is easiest to dream of the person in your heart.

Outside the window, the fragrance of plum penetrated into the house, and King Su's dream was awakened by the bright moon.

"Whew-"

Su Qixiao raised his hand to cover the moonlight shining on his eyes, the dreams that continued in the past few days were often interrupted, and there were not many people in his mind, and there was always a place for Gao Chunfeng among them.

After getting up and drinking tea, Su Qixiao closed his eyes and sobered up, and took out a letter he received half a month ago from his arms.

The letter came from Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and the sender claimed to be a close friend of the late Jiangling King Gao Chunfeng, in which the person entrusted Su Qixiao to investigate an old incident that had happened in the suburbs of Yangzhou, and if it was achieved, the other party would give a gift of thanks that was crucial to the four states of Suzhou and even the Great Xia Dynasty......

In the end, he also instructed Su Qixiao to pay extra attention to his safety, and someone wanted to take his life.

is such a letter that looks like a letter no matter how you look at it, and Su Qixiao didn't have the slightest doubt about its credibility.

It's just because of the sentence at the end of "The covenant of the wood and the fish".

These six words are an agreement between Gao Chunfeng and Su Qixiao, and only the two of them know it in the world. The sender was able to write about this, presumably King Gangneung must have asked him to come to him before he died. The first thing Su Qixiao did when he went down the mountain was to go to Baihualing to sacrifice wine for Gao Chunfeng, but since this letter was a top priority, his selfishness could only be postponed.

Su Qixiao lightly twisted the falling petals, lowered his eyes and said silently: "Chunfeng, death is never the end of the deceased, but the endless thoughts of the living for the deceased. ”

·

It was night, and King Su never slept, but leaned on his side alone.

Su Qixiao suddenly remembered the two Western Regions dart masters who died in front of Guangling Tower today but did not know their names, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said in a resolute voice: "Everyone deserves to be famous in the world, and this king wants to strive to remember everyone he meets again in the future." ”

After half a pillar of incense, Su Qixiao walked out of the house and called out to Youcao, asking her to call Qi Yutang to deal with the two Divine Realm Dart Masters.

Under the moonlight, seeing the sword-wielding man wearing a hat walking into the courtyard, Su Qixiao stood with his hands in his hands, and asked the Great Sword Marquis: "You and the Fengling King, is it possible that there is something to celebrate?" ”

Qi Yutang took off his hat, his expression was surprised, and the sword stood behind him and saluted: "The minister doesn't dare!" Lord Wang, why do you say this? ”

Su Qixiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I just killed two God Realm Dart Masters when I arrived in Yangzhou, so angry?" Or do you not like Yangzhou? ”

Qi Yutang shook his head and said calmly: "On the contrary, the minister is because he loves Yangzhou, so he can't see anyone make a mistake." ”

"It's not that you're dissatisfied with the Phoenix Spirit King?"

"Absolutely not!"

"That's good."

Su Qixiao bowed his head slightly, walked up the steps, leaned against the railing, and looked at the moonlight in the distance.

Su Xun, the father of King Su, was a hussar general in the past, who killed the demon dragon for the ancestor of Great Xia and killed the four generals of the late Sui, and made immortal achievements. Su Xun also has the reputation of "Great Xia Sword Immortal" on the rivers and lakes, and his acquaintance with Qi Yutang originated from the dispute over the title of "Sword Immortal" back then.

As for Qi Yutang, he will later become the Great Sword Marquis of Su Di, it is because of a gambling contract with Su Xun.

The world doesn't know what the two of them gambled on, but in the end Su Xun won, Qi Yutang was willing to gamble and lose, and served as the marquis of the Great Sword and protected the seven-year-old King Su so far.

Su Qixiao suddenly thought of something and laughed, "I heard my father mention it before, you and your wife met in Yangzhou, right?" ”

Qi Yutang was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect the prince to even remember this, so he nodded and said: "That's right, the minister was born in Linchuan City in the Bohai Sea, and the young man was killed in a big flood, and his father and brother died in drought to evacuate the people. The minister has been eating hundreds of meals since he was a child and was pulled to grow up, and then he met a fortune teller who said that I am a blessed person, and I must go far away to crack it, and the relationship between the minister and Jiangnan is the one who traveled here that year......"

Su Qixiao was afraid that he would talk all night when he said Zhixing, so he raised his hand and waved, interrupting: "The story of the predecessors will be told by this king in the future." At present, Yangzhou needs to kill chickens and monkeys, you should know, but the word 'kill' in this, what this king wants is to collect the charges and punish them one by one, not to let you rashly kill people in the fiefdom of King Fengling. If it weren't for this king, I'm really afraid that you would kill Wu Kai together. ”

Seeing that Qi Yutang was just pleading guilty and didn't say a word, Su Qixiao said calmly: "The Great Sword Marquis in the impression of this king rarely acts recklessly. ”

Qi Yutang was grateful for the prince's compassion, and his heart was moved, and he said to himself: "The minister previously learned about Wu Kai's unwritten crime from the mouths of the people, and he was disrespectful to the prince downstairs in Guangling, so he took action to punish him, and hoped that the prince would punish him!" ”

Su Qixiao helped him up, sighed, and reminded: "That's it, there is nothing to punish between you and me, but there is one point, from now on, there will be more people who should be killed, and there is no need to cause trouble in the guest position." ”

Qi Yutang arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys." ”

Su Qixiao then sighed: "Those two Western Regions dart masters were hired by Wu Yue Damo to protect his son by four hundred taels of darts when he was doing business. Wu Kai is wanton and arrogant, and his people are full of evil, so he should see blood, but after all, this is Yangzhou, not Sudi, and you can't use the sword in your hand to kill, let alone do it by you. The guard is not guilty, and the sin is in Wu Kai. ”

King Su twisted the snow in his hands, but it was difficult to stop the snow from falling in the sky no matter what, and his last command before returning to the house was: "As far as this king knows, no matter how top the dart master licks the blood at the head of the knife in the Western Regions, it will be thirty or forty taels a year, and those two dart masters will still have a family to support after their deaths, and you can send someone to compensate the family for six hundred taels each, which is enough for them to have no worries for the rest of their lives." ”

·

Early the next morning.

Compared with the first half of the month in the Xueji Pavilion of Guangling Tower, the sound of dogs and horses, sleeping until noon every day, Su Qixiao, who actually got up early this morning, surprised Youcao.

When Youcao was changing King Su's clothes, she pursed her cold eyebrows, and couldn't help but question: "Childe got up early?!" It's not like you. ”

Su Qixiao raised his forehead and said, "Is this king really so absurd and unreasonable in your mind......

"Yes." Yucao turned around indifferently.

It seems that even if Childe's body no longer smells good, she is regarded as an important person by Childe, and she still complains that Su Qixiao only cares about the two lotus plants in Xueji Pavilion these days......

Su Qixiao apologized: "Okay, don't be angry." ”

Youcao turned around and continued to help him change his clothes, and said, "Childe, Senior Qi did what you ordered early this morning. ”

Su Qixiao closed his eyes and calmed his nerves, and replied "um".

Youcao helped His Highness comb his hair and tie his hair, and asked, "Childe, is Youcao dissatisfied with him when you listened to your words to the Great Sword Marquis last night?" ”

Su Qixiao shook his head and said: "Since he is for this king, this king will not be dissatisfied." ”

Youcao brought the boiled tea to His Royal Highness, and said earnestly: "Youcao believes that Gongzi knows the good intentions of Senior Qi. ”

Su Qixiao took a sip of thin tea and said, "Yes, this king believes that everyone around him is as loyal as you." I probably haven't seen the Great Sword Marquis for a long time, so it is inevitable that I am a little rusty, and it will be fine after a while. ”

"Then the grass is at ease."

Su Qixiao looked sideways at the grass behind him who was tidying up his clothes, and the corners of his lips curled again: "After all, not everyone is like you and me, we are together every day." ”

Youcao was wrapping his hands around Su Qixiao's waist to tie him, and his moon-like cheeks instantly turned crimson.

The world only knows that the most important maid beside King Su is stunning in the world, cold and beautiful, but they don't know that she is cold and beautiful, and she never treats King Su.

Outside the window in the early morning, the dew drops are delicate and delicate.

Youcao wiped away the fine sweat between her eyebrows, blushed and changed the topic, and mentioned: "Even in Luoyang, a mansion needs three hundred taels to start, and people outside say that Gongzi can easily afford six hundred taels, which is really generous!" Now this matter is being spread up and down in Yangzhou. ”

Su Qixiao has never cared about what others think of him, so he sneered: "No one will pass on the hypocrisy of this king and buy people's hearts?" ”

Youcao's pair of icy green eyes smiled, looked at His Highness seriously, and said solemnly: "I don't care what others say about Youcao, as long as Youcao knows that Gongzi is a gentle person." ”

Su Qixiao smiled slightly, and his fingers stroked Youcao's beautiful cheek, "Well, let's just ask for a clear conscience." ”

Speaking of the banquet in Fengling Wangfu last night, there were two hours of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and several Yangzhou officials who had a slightly worse amount of alcohol were sent back by the maids of the Fengling Wangfu before they even went out for two rounds, but Gao Yingchen, who has always had an amazing amount of wine, never had a free cup from beginning to end, and stayed with Qi Yutang and others until the end.

Youcao mentioned in a timely manner: "Childe promised His Royal Highness King Fengling to discuss the matter in detail in the back garden today at the dinner last night, King Fengling is afraid that you will forget when you wake up, so I sent Beitao to ask in the morning, and Childe should leave." ”

Su Qixiao looked puzzled and puzzled: "Huh? Does this king look like one of those drunken and misguided? ”

"Yes, yes, not like, not like." Youcao saw that the snow outside the house was cold again, so she tied a white-veined robe for him, and said gently, "Childe will come back early." ”

"Okay."
