After Lin Xuanqing swallowed the pill, Jiang Ergou's heart was really relieved, don't say it, he was really afraid that this little girl would not take his medicine for the sake of the original grudge, although the poison in her could recover little by little as long as she slowly breathed a little, but it always made her face pale and it seemed that Jiang Ergou was too stingy.

Besides, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, even if there is still a gap between Jiang Ergou and this little girl, her master is his master after all! No matter how you say this, Lin Xuanqing can be regarded as half of his Jiang Ergou's junior sister.

"Go, get on the road. ”

After Jiang Ergou finished speaking, he walked to the front first, and Lin Xuanqing, whose face was ruddy, followed him, followed by He Huaichun, who was carrying a knife.

Lin Yuanhuan is still a little dizzy because of the epiphany two days ago, so she is at the back at this time, but no one is worried about her, no matter what happens to her, as long as she shouts, Jiang Ergou in front can run back in time to check the situation.

As he walked, Lin Yuanhuan frowned, feeling as if he had stepped on something.

When she raised her feet to look, sure enough, a porcelain vase that looked very delicate was lying under her feet, and when she picked up the porcelain vase, there were five small words written on it with a note: Wuwei cartilage powder!

It turned out that this was the peerless poison that fell from the Demon Sect Tuotuo after she was smashed by Jiang Ergou to plot against Lin Xuanqing.

"Hey..."

After picking up the porcelain bottle, Lin Yuanhuan subconsciously wanted to call Jiang Ergou, but as soon as she shouted, she regretted it a little, this five-flavor cartilage powder is a top-level poison that can erode the internal strength of a master, and this alone knows how difficult it is to configure, putting this thing on himself is undoubtedly a great guarantee for his safety.

However, I don't know if it was because Lin Yuanhuan's voice was too quiet, or because she was walking too slowly, she had already opened a distance with Jiang Ergou and them, and the three people who walked in front didn't hear her shouting just now.

After waiting for a moment to make sure they didn't hear, Lin Yuanhuan exhaled a long breath, then put the bottle of five-flavor cartilage into his arms, and then chased after Jiang Ergou and the three.

......

The capital of Dachu has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when Jiang Ergou first entered Beijing.

There is more Jinghua Academy, which is famous all over the world, there are many Oiran who have just become famous in the capital, and there is also the Fusheng Restaurant that is now as famous as Manxiang Building!

However, the Fusheng Restaurant, which is usually overcrowded, can't see the shadow of a guest today, and even the shopkeepers who do chores and the back kitchen in charge have all been driven away.

There is no other reason, because the owner of this restaurant is going to cook himself today and entertain two guests in this Fusheng Restaurant! Those who are familiar with the background of this restaurant know that standing behind this restaurant is the third son of the current saint!

So in this Manchu dynasty, apart from his father who can afford his hospitality, I really don't know who else can let this third prince cook himself.

Speaking of which, his eldest brother Chu Wushuang can also be worthy of such a reception from him, but apart from the crown prince Chu Wushuang, who else is worthy of him to do this? Could it really be the emperor's presence in person?

It may not be impossible to say this, but among the people who Chu Fusheng wants to feast today, Chu Zheng is not among them.

Yesterday there was a major event in Beijing, the second prince of Rongbian for many years was recalled to the capital after the settlement of the border of Liaodong, and arrived in the capital yesterday morning.

Yesterday, Chu Tianxiong returned to Beijing and went home, so after the political affairs were over, he was naturally retained by Chu Zheng, and was pulled by Chu Zheng to the palace to speak, because his mother thought about his son very much!

But in addition to his mother's love for Chu Tianxiong, what whispers were said between the emperor and him in the second half of the night are unknown.

However, the next day, there was a news quietly circulating in Beijing, saying that the credit of the second prince Chu Tianxiong was too great, and the emperor had already started the idea of changing the crown prince.

Although everyone who heard the news felt that this was nonsense, after all, it was groundless, and if there was really no shadow of this matter, there would be no news that the emperor was going to change the prince, so there were not a few people in Beijing who said that the change of the prince was true.

After staying in the palace for one night, Chu Tianxiong returned to his palace in Kyoto, and then received a banquet from his third brother.

And the one who can receive Chu Fusheng's banquet Han at the same time as Chu Tianxiong can only be the crown prince Chu Wushuang in the entire capital.

Tonight, in this floating restaurant, no matter how many guards these three princes secretly followed, and no matter how many spies Chu Zheng secretly sent, in short, there were only the three brothers on the surface.

On the highest floor of the Fusheng Restaurant, Chu Zheng's three sons each occupied a position and sat at the table, and there were six or seven hot dishes cooked by Chu Fusheng himself on the table, which was just a light meal between the three brothers, so Chu Fusheng also did it very casually and didn't take it too seriously.

"Come, eldest brother, second brother! I salute you, especially the second brother, you have worked hard at the border in the past few years, and you have lost a lot of weight than when you went. ”

Chu Fusheng poured a glass of wine for his two elder brothers, and then was the first to hold the glasses.

Chu Wushuang and Chu Tianxiong glanced at each other, then picked up the wine glass on the table at the same time, and then collided with Chu Fusheng's glass.

But other than that, I don't know if the two of them did it on purpose, although the cups of the two of them collided with Chu Fusheng's cups, there was some distance between their own cups.

"Third brother, in that case, the second brother will be more disturbed in the future. ”

"Second brother, this is there, these are what the younger brother should do. ”

After saying it to Chu Tianxiong, Chu Fusheng turned his head and said to Chu Wushuang.

"Big brother, you come often. ”

Chu Wushuang didn't speak, just nodded calmly, and agreed, the court experience in the past few years has made him lose his childishness, and he really began to look like a prince.

If Chu Zheng still had some deliberate protection for him before, then in the past few years, he has completely thrown him into this court to polish.

"Big brother, it's been okay in the past few years, my brother always feels that everything in Beijing hasn't changed when he comes back this time. ”

Chu Tianxiong's lack of change here does not refer to the changes in the capital, the economy of Great Chu has recovered very quickly in recent years, how can there be no change at all in the capital?

What Chu Tianxiong said about no change meant that the situation in the court had not changed, for example, his people in the court had not been purged by the crown prince Chu Wushuang, and Chu Wushuang had not found a way to get his hands on his martial arts academy.

Chu Wushuang, who had long been familiar with this set, naturally knew clearly what his second brother was talking about, but Chu Wushuang just laughed lightly at this, with a grace and luxury in his smile.

"Second brother, when the eldest brother said that he would wait for you to come back, he would definitely wait for you to come back, you can completely rest assured of this, whether it is open or secret, I have not done anything. ”

Chu Tianxiong also smiled and nodded.

"I still believe in Big Brother on this. ”

Chu Wushuang's smile did not decrease, but the questioning meaning in his tone became heavier.

"I've kept my promise as an elder brother, but you, a younger brother, seem to be a little anxious, what's the matter?

Unlike Chu Wushuang's full smile, Chu Tianxiong's face became serious.

"If I were to say that none of those messages were spread by my people, would you believe it?"

Chu Wushuang was still smiling, in stark contrast to Chu Tianxiong's serious expression, and after taking a few serious glances at Chu Tianxiong's eyes, Chu Wushuang said calmly.

"As long as you speak, I will believe. There are more people in this world who are more anxious than the two of us, and it is understandable that some people deliberately spread rumors. ”

Chu Tianxiong saw trust in Chu Wushuang's eyes, which made Chu Tianxiong laugh happily again, although the two of them had some fights, they had always been gentlemen's disputes, and they would not engage in those dark tricks in secret.

"How's the war going on the border, but there are times when it's tight?"

When the two brothers said this, the situation of this meal was relaxed, and Chu Wushuang picked up a peanut and asked comfortably.

And Chu Tianxiong also picked up the wine glass and took a sip before replying.

"There has been no war on the border in the past two years, and the grassland king named Yelu Hongbin is busy establishing her Northern Zhou regime, so naturally he has no time to attack and disturb the border, except for some friction with the always warlike Wanyan family, and it is rare to have a few years of peace on the border. ”

Chu Wushuang nodded seriously after hearing this, for the people on the border, these four words should be regarded as precious.

"How long do you think it will take for the grasslands to establish their Northern Zhou regime and then pose a threat to our Great Chu, and how many troops will we need to put on the border to guard against them?"

Chu Tianxiong replied.

"According to our spies on the grassland, there have been a large number of scholars from the previous dynasty who have lived in the royal city of Yelu Hongbin, the king of the grassland, and it is said that the skills of those scholars are not bad, and the most important one in the previous dynasty is a book, according to my inference, in about five years, the Northern Zhou regime in the grassland will be able to establish a good framework, and it will be perfected after ten years, as for how many troops need to be put into the border in the future! Ten years later, there will be at least 100,000 more black armor horsemen on the border than now!"

Chu Wushuang carefully savored every word Chu Tianxiong said, and then nodded from time to time, as if agreeing with the views Chu Tianxiong said.

After inquiring about the situation at the border, Chu Wushuang asked about Chu Tianxiong's return, and asked him if he had seen the people of Great Chu still not having enough to eat along the way, whether there were any corruption and bribery among the chief officials of various counties and counties, and whether commerce and trade in Lingzhou, Yuzhou and other places were more developed than in previous years.

And Chu Tianxiong answered all the questions raised by Chu Wushuang one by one, at this time, they didn't see any signs of fighting for that position between them, they were more like a pair of brothers at this time.

"Big brother, why are the questions you asked not military or government affairs, and the second brother has just come back, can't you care about him?"

Chu Fusheng, who was very tired from listening to these two people, interrupted Chu Wushuang's question, and the latter was not angry and laughed kindly.

"The third brother thought of me, but I didn't think that it was me, the elder brother, who was not thoughtful. ”

Chu Tianxiong only returned Chu Wushuang with a smile in return, neither blaming nor being flattered.

"After I came back, I was still used to the food, and the food on the grassland was still very different from here. ”

Chu Tianxiong nodded.

"That's true, but after all, the capital is my home, so there is a reason why I can't get used to eating when I go home. ”

Chu Wushuang nodded in the same way as Chu Tianxiong.

"The third brother has studied these quite a lot, as he said, go back to his house and ask him to make up for you. ”

After a big circle, the conversation between the three of them finally returned to the word home, and the three brothers began to recall some things from their childhood.

And Chu Fusheng, the host of this family banquet, rarely spoke during the dinner, but he watched the conversation between the two elder brothers, but a happy smile slowly emerged.
