This time when he came to Ziyang City, Lu Yiping was lightly dressed and simple, and only took Yuan Xi alone.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Yuan Xi opened the door and saw that it was a person with a face.

The person outside the door saluted Yuan Xi slightly: "May I ask Your Excellency, is Yuan Xi Yuan Commander?" Under the order of General Lu, please ask Yuan Commander to follow me to the palace, this is General Lu's token. ”

Yuan Xi took the token, and after confirming that it was correct, he wanted to return the token, but the man shook his head and said: "Commander Yuan, General Lu has a word, and the token can be handed over to Commander Yuan for safekeeping." ”

Yuan Xi nodded, pinned Lu Yiping's token into his waist, took out his waist card and handed it over, and said, "This lord, this is Yuan's waist card, please check it." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, then took the token and looked at it and handed it back, and said in a low voice: "Commander Yuan has a heart, the small one is just a chamberlain in the palace, not an adult, my name is Ye Bei, and Commander Yuan calls me Xiao Yezi." ”

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi smiled at him and said, "Then there will be Brother Lao Yebei to lead the way." ”

Hearing Yuan Xi's name, Ye Bei's body trembled slightly, then returned to normal, and said softly: "Commander Yuan, let's go!"

After saying that, he led the way ahead.

Ye Bei entered the palace at the age of ten, and after purifying, he had never heard the word brother again, and now he heard Yuan Xi call him like this, but Ye Bei had all kinds of feelings in his heart.

Yuan Xi sensed Ye Bei's abnormality, and he also noticed that this person named Ye Bei seemed to be a little different from him.

Yuan Xi had never seen a eunuch, so he didn't know that Ye Bei had lost his most precious thing as a man.

Out of the post house, Ye Bei stood in front of a carriage and said to Yuan Xi: "Commander Yuan, please get in the car!"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Brother Ye Bei, please first!"

Ye Bei's face moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "If you want to drive below, Commander Yuan, please get in the car." ”

Yuan Xi's eyelids closed slightly and got into the carriage.

"Commander Yuan, please sit tight, let's go!"

Yuan Xi let out a "hmm", thinking about the change in Ye Bei's expression in his heart.

Just thought about it for a while, and he didn't understand what was wrong with his words, so he didn't bother thinking about it anymore, or thinking about a certain girl.

I heard that Lu Yiping was going to take Yuan Xi to Ziyang City, Lu Guanju actually wanted to follow, but no matter how coquettish she was, Lu Yiping didn't see it, and gave a death order, before he came back, Lu Guanju was not allowed to go out and mess around.

Lu Guanju pouted, but in his heart he was already thinking about who he was going to go out to play.

However, after Lu Yiping and Yuan Xi left, Lu Guanju stayed at home honestly, picked up the needle and thread, and continued to learn the art of embroidery with Mrs. Lu.

It was only because Lu Yiping said to her with a smile, Guan Guan, my father has lived for so many years, and I heard that there is a pair of birds like ducks, but I have gained knowledge.

Yuan Xi took out the purse embroidered with "pair of ducks" from his arms, sniffed it lightly, and the light fragrance entered his nose.

The herbs in the purse were personally selected by Lu Guanju for him, and he liked this taste very much, although it was not as fresh and natural as the grass and wood fragrance on Tianyu Mountain, but he still liked it.

Because she gave it to him.

But what Yuan Xi likes to smell the most is the smell of Lu Guanju.

Holding a purse in his hand, Yuan Xi was stunned.

When he knew that the purse contained herbs, he first sniffed his purse, and then turned his head to ask Lu Guanju, "Guanguan, do you also have this purse with spices?"

Lu Guanju smiled like a flower and asked, "Naturally, there is! What, you want to give me one too?"

Yuan Xi scratched his head and said: "If you want to say sewing and mending clothes, I can still do it, but I am not good at embroidery." ”

Lu Guanju's mouth opened slightly, and he was surprised: "You can actually sew clothes?"

Yuan Xi said casually: "Isn't this normal?"

Lu Guanju thought of Yuan Xi holding the embroidery needle in his hand and holding the orchid finger, so he burst out laughing.

Yuan Xi doesn't know why, why is he smiling so happily?

Lu Guanju said while laughing: "Brother Yuan, you are a man, isn't it funny that this man pinched embroidery needles?"

Yuan Xi chuckled and said: "If you think it's funny, laugh, at that time, it was me and Master on the mountain, I was naughty again, running in the mountains every day, my clothes were inevitably scratched by branches or something, and it was not good to always go down the mountain to trouble Aunt Zhao, so I learned to sew and mend my own clothes." ”

Lu Guanju only remembered that his eldest brother, who looked extraordinary, had no one around him since he was a child.

Thinking of this, she couldn't laugh anymore, and said softly: "Your master is too strict with you, I remember you said, your master is not short of silver, why let you live such a hard life?"

Speaking of Master, Yuan Xi felt a little melancholy in his heart, he sighed and said: "Master has been very good to me, he has his reasoning, and I naturally believe in his reasoning. ”

Seeing Yuan Xi's gloomy expression, Lu Guanju knew that he missed his master, so he leaned in front of Yuan Xi slightly, and said softly: "Brother Yuan, you still have me, I will accompany you to find the master in the future." ”

Yuan Xi looked at Lu Guanju, whose face had been dyed with a touch of red, his heart warmed, and his arm was raised, but he quietly put it down.

Although the master did not teach him how to fall in love, he did tell him what it means to be "affectionate and courteous." ”

His nose moved slightly, and he said, "Guan Guan, can you show me your purse?"

Lu Guanju didn't know what Yuan Xi meant, took out a purse from his waist and handed it over and said, "I bought this from Buzhuang, but it's not as good-looking as the one I gave you." ”

Yuan Xi smiled and said nothing, took the purse and sniffed it carefully, frowned, sniffed it again, then shook his head and handed the sachet back.

Seeing this, Lu Guanju said: "Brother Yuan, this man and woman are different, and the spices in the purse they wear are also different, so the aroma of my purse is different from yours." ”

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I didn't smell this!"

Lu Guanju's embroidered eyebrows frowned slightly, thought for a moment, seemed to think of something, picked up the purse and smelled it himself, raised his arm and sniffed it, and said suspiciously: "There is no other smell!"

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "There is a trace, but because of the spices in the purse, this smell is covered, and you can't smell it if you don't smell it carefully." ”

Lu Guanju sniffed again, but still didn't smell anything, and said curiously: "Brother Yuan, what are you smelling?"

Yuan Xi rubbed the tip of his nose lightly and said with a smile: "Your taste!"

"Me?ah!"

When Lu Guanju heard this, he covered his face with his hands, turned his back and said shyly: "Brother Yuan, you, I didn't expect you to be so frivolous!"

"Ah, I, what? What frivolity?" Lu Guanju turned his head and snorted lightly and said, "Say, who else have you smelled?"

Yuan Xi was stunned by Lu Guanju's question, and replied casually: "I have a good nose since I was a child, so I am more sensitive to smells, and the smell of all kinds of beasts on this mountain can't escape my nose." ”

Lu Guanju glared at him and said angrily: "You, Brother Yuan, you are so bad, people ignore you!"

Yuan Xi sighed, everything is good at this level, but she loves to be angry, and she doesn't know how to provoke her.

Taking a step forward, he finally mustered up the courage, gently supported Lu Guanju's shoulders, and lowered his head slightly, Lu Guanju's hair was clearly visible, and the familiar body fragrance kept teasing his nose.

turned around and turned his back to Yuan Xi, Lu Guanju's delicate body trembled slightly, but he didn't break free, but muttered in his heart, if Brother Yuan made an arrogant move, should he give him a palm?

But I can't beat him myself, is that all......

Isn't he too frivolous like this? Will Brother Yuan look down on himself?

Lu Guanju's cranky thoughts didn't happen, Yuan Xi, who was gently supporting her shoulders, just lowered his head and whispered to her: "The moment I first saw you, I wrote down your taste, and I will never forget it in this life!"

Fortunately, there is a first glimpse in life.

The sachet in his hand did not have the taste of Lu Guanju, but it did not delay Yuan Xi to think about her, think of her, and miss her.

"Commander Yuan, it's almost time to get out of the palace, please move and get off the car, according to the rules, you can't take the car directly to the palace with your official position. ”

The good dream was interrupted by Ye Bei again, Yuan Xi put away the sachet, got up and got out of the carriage, arched his hand at Ye Bei and said, "It's hard work!"

Ye Bei smiled and bowed slightly, and said, "Where the responsibility is, Commander Yuan is polite!"

Yuan Xi thought about the conversation with Ye Bei before, but he didn't find anything wrong, why did this person seem to have some fluctuations in his heart before, so he asked: "Brother Ye Bei, did I have anything inappropriate to say before?

Ye Bei saw that Yuan Xi's eyes were dignified and upright, and there was no intention of humiliation, so he smiled bitterly and said: "It's the heart of a little villain, and there is nothing wrong with Yuan Commander." However, Commander Yuan can call me by my name, or call me Xiao Yezi, don't mention the word brother again, the small one is not worthy. ”

Yuan Xi was puzzled: "In my eyes, Brother Ye Bei is the same as me, so why don't you deserve to say it? Why don't you like it because of this? Could it be that the rules of the palace are so strict, even the names of each other must be divided into three, six, nine and so on?"

Ye Bei sighed and said, "Commander Yuan, this is a respectful title, of course. But it's not that the royal palace has strict rules. But this is not the meaning of the unworthy sentence in the next sentence, does the Yuan Commander really not know?"

"Know what?"

"I am a eunuch below, how can I be worthy of the word Yuan Commander Brother?"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand to Ye Bei: "Yuan Xi has no intention of offending, his words are wrong, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Ye Bei didn't expect Yuan Xi to apologize to himself, and waved his hand again and again: "Commander Yuan, this can't be helped, this is a villain, I have been clean for ten years, and I have long been used to it!"

Yuan Xi said softly: "In my eyes, you and I are the same!"

Ye Bei's heart moved, he looked at Yuan Xi with gratitude on his face, and said in a low voice: "Commander Yuan, please come in, don't let General Lu wait." ”

Ten years later, no one had ever looked at him like this, and even he felt that without that object, he would only have a rotten life left.

It's a good feeling!

Ye Bei's eyes were a little wet, this very young commander, he remembered it!

Yuan Xi nodded and followed Ye Bei into the palace.

Stepping into the gate of the palace, Yuan Xi knew that a palace could be bigger than a village, and there were many more people in it than Wang Lizhuang, and he followed Ye Bei to walk a lot.

Ye Bei suddenly stopped, leaned on the side of the road and bowed his head, and whispered to Yuan Xi: "Commander Yuan, please wait a while before leaving." ”

Yuan Xi stood behind Ye Bei and waited, but did not bow his head, but continued to look around, looking at this huge palace.

Yuan Xi's heart moved slightly, with the aura of a master, he looked forward, only to see a person dressed similar to Ye Bei leading the three of them to pass by the road in front.

And the aura of the master exists in those three people.

The leader was a young man, dressed in brocade clothes, and Yuan Xi saw that this person was slightly shorter than himself. Behind the young man, followed by an old man with fluttering sleeves, looking like a fairy wind and bones.

The old man was followed by a middle-aged man, with a steady step and a long breath.

Yuan Xi stared slightly, as if his gaze was perceived, the old man turned his head to look at him, he was shocked in his heart, this person's breath was very dangerous.

Fan Liye, the little son of the King of Shu, is practicing martial arts in his own courtyard, and the martial arts he practices are the peerless learning of Qingyun Sect, Liuyun Hand, and the person who points out on the side is his new named master, Jia Nanfeng.

This statement of a named master was put forward by Jia Nanfeng, on the grounds that Fan Liye had a noble status, and he couldn't afford it, so he hung up the word name.

At this time, someone reported that the king had invited the two masters of the Qingyun Sect to come over.

Jia Nanfeng greeted Ning Kai, who was sitting on the roof, and got up to go, Fan Liye was curious, and he also left.

Liuyun hand, Fan Liye has been practicing this palm technique for half a year, and finally played well.

It's just about being there.

He has no internal strength, the power of this palm is greatly reduced, although he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his strength is not small, but compared to internal strength, it is like a small pond by the lake.

Where did Fan Liye satisfy this bit of effort, so he asked Jia Nanfeng to teach him internal skills.

Jia Nanfeng couldn't help his bitter request, and because of his status as the son of the world, he had to teach him some internal strength and mental formulas first, and let him give it a try, after all, Fan Liye is close to the age of the weak crown, and he has already passed the best age for practicing martial arts, and his future achievements will depend on Fan Liye's own creation.

Ye Bei reminded in a low voice: "Commander Yuan, don't look around, there is Xiao Shizi in front, be careful to disturb His Highness." ”

Yuan Xi retracted his gaze, bowed his head slightly and said, "The first time I came to the palace, I didn't understand the rules, I was abrupt!"

Ning Kai followed Master's gaze and wondered, "Master, what are you looking at?"

Jia Nanfeng smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet an interesting person, Ning Kai, this person is better than you!"

Ning Kai frowned and didn't say anything.

Jia Nanfeng smiled: "Don't be unconvinced, you can't see his depth, that means he is deeper than you, I look at this person's face, but he is very young, when did we come to Bazhou with such a young master? Who is this disciple?"

Fan Liye, who had already turned his head, heard this: "Master Jia, do you mean the young man standing behind Xiao Yezi?

Jia Nanfeng smiled and said: "The old man just watched from a distance, glanced at the young man, and guessed in his heart, if you want to find out the details of this person, you still need to make a test." ”

Fan Liye said with a smile: "Isn't this easy to do? Since this person is in the palace, he has to obey the orders of the palace, I ordered someone to call him over, Master Jia, wouldn't it be good for you to test it? I see that the young man is not big, he may not be so powerful!"

Jia Nanfeng shook his head and said: "The king is invited, there can be no delay, since this person is in the palace, are you afraid that he will not be able to escape?" The old man has the important responsibility of protecting the king's safety, if this person's origin is unknown, the old man also has the responsibility to find out his details." ”

Fan Liye nodded and said, "That's the reason, let's go!"

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Yuan Xi and walked forward.

Ye Bei peeked at it and saw a few people leaving, so he raised his head and said, "Commander Yuan, this is the rule of the palace, when we see a big man, we have to wait to give way, if the big man is coming, we have to stop walking and salute immediately." ”

Yuan Xi sighed and said, "Although the etiquette is like this, it is really unpleasant. ”

Ye Bei was shocked in his heart, how could this young commander be so stunned, if he had the intention to embarrass him, based on this sentence alone, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep the position of the commander.

Fortunately, there was no one around, Ye Bei said in a low voice: "Commander Yuan, please be cautious, there are many people in the palace, and Commander Yuan is young and has a bright future, so don't miss the future." ”

Yuan Xi stopped talking, and the two walked forward.

After leaving the study of the King of Shu and arranging for someone to invite Yuan Xi, Lu Yiping drank tea in the palace guest room and waited for Yuan Xi's arrival.

There was a knock on the door, and a voice came, "General Lu, Commander Yuan has been invited!"

Lu Yiping smiled and put down the teacup in his hand, "Come in!"

Yuan Xi nodded at Ye Bei and said softly: "Thank you Brother Ye Bei for leading the way, Yuan Xi has learned a lot of rules!"

Ye Bei smiled, he liked the title "brother" a little.

Nodding in return, he turned to leave.

Yuan Xi pushed the door in, Lu Yiping had already stood up, greeted him, and said as he walked: "Yuan Xi, I met the king, but I said a lot of good things about you, and when I meet the king, you have to give me a long face!"

Yuan Xi was puzzled: "General, why do I want to see the King of Shu? Why do you want to say good things to me?"

Lu Yiping's head was big for a while, this kid is good at everything, but sometimes he speaks too straight and his brain is too straight.

Pulling Yuan Xi to the table and sitting down, Yuan Xi poured another cup for himself after adding water to Lu Yiping's teacup.

Lu Yiping nodded, it's okay, it's okay, the number of etiquette that should be there, Yuan Xi is not bad.

Picked up the teacup, put it to his lips, remembered what Fang Cai Yuan Xi asked, Lu Yiping put the teacup down again, glared at Yuan Xi and said, "I said Yuan Xi, do you really not understand or pretend to be confused?

Yuan Xi took a sip of tea and said, "Ah? I haven't thought about it! What should I think? I'm the general's subordinate, just do what I want!"

Lu Yiping held his forehead with one hand and sighed slightly, Yuan Xi's words were true.

After thinking about it, he whispered: "Yuan Xi, why did you join my Zhennan Army?"

Yuan Xi looked at Lu Yiping with a suspicious look on his face, and said puzzledly: "What does the general mean by asking? Didn't the general invite me to join the Zhennan Army?"

Lu Yiping regretted it a little.

At this point, his old face is no longer important, I just hope that in the future, this son-in-law can look at his daughter's face and not be so choking.

"Yuan Xi, think about it, I didn't threaten you to join the Zhennan Army, then you must have left the martial arts hall because of the benefits of joining the Zhennan Army, right!"

Yuan Xi involuntarily thought of Lu Guanju in his mind, and blurted out: "I didn't join the Zhennan Army for Guanguan. ”

After speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said again and again: "No, no, yes, ah, no, no, it has nothing to do with Guan Guan!"

Lu Yiping glared at Yuan Xi, who was incoherent, and snorted lightly and said, "Have you thought about it, Guan Guan? Guan Guan is also your name?"

Yuan Xi was weak-hearted, and said in a low voice: "I, when the general invited me to join the Zhennan Army, I didn't think much about it, Cheng Shibo said that being in the army is much better than being a martial artist in the martial arts hall, and I will live up to what I have learned, so I agreed." ”

Lu Yiping looked at Yuan Xi and said seriously: "This big husband should make meritorious contributions, especially you, if you have learned a good skill, it should be even more so, and the place where we who practice martial arts make meritorious contributions is not the horse leather shroud and fight on the battlefield?" Yuan Xi, if you want to say that you can starve to death, I Lu Yiping don't believe it, so filling your stomach won't take up much of your energy at all, as for starting a family, I'll make it clear, I already know about you and Guan Guan, Guan Gu has a belonging, I, who is a father, am also happy for her, I just hope that you can be sincere and treat her well. ”

Yuan Xi was extremely nervous at this time, as if he had done something wrong and was caught.

Lu Yiping looked at Yuan Xi, who had drunk two glasses of water in succession, and smiled: "What's the matter?

Yuan Xi stammered: "General, I, I, I don't know what it means to treat her well, I just know, I think she is very happy every day, and I can protect her from harm." ”

Lu Yiping nodded and said: "It's enough for you to have this heart, I am from the past, this love affair is not a rhetoric, an oath, but a happy relationship between the two of them, and they can go through their lives hand in hand and live the life they like." ”

Yuan Xi's face was serious, and he listened carefully, Lu Yiping saw his appearance like this, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing?" I just said a few words with feelings, and I didn't want to tell you any big truth. ”

Yuan Xi said solemnly: "General, the master has taught me many things, but he didn't teach me about the love between men and women.

Lu Yiping smiled: "You kid, you are very studious!"

After taking a sip of the tea poured by Yuan Xi and moistening his throat, Lu Yiping continued: "It's just that if you want to marry my Lu Yiping's daughter, it's not enough to just rely on the love of the two. ”

Yuan Xi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "General, what should I do then?"

Lu Yiping smiled and said, "You still call me a general?"

Hearing this, Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth tentatively, "Father-in-law?"

This title of "father-in-law" is still the title he learned when he went to Zhang Zhongqian's new house to congratulate him, and when he joked with him about right and wrong, he should call General Lu "father-in-law" in the future.

Lu Yiping's hand shook, and the teacup almost fell on the table.

What a mess!
