An Xiaodao kicked the weeds on the side of the mountain road, lowered his head, and was silent.

The thieves who accompanied the eldest sister to perform a robbery scene have returned to the cottage with the left protector Fang Yiai, and everyone can see that this scene seems to have been smashed.

Life is like this, there is no chance to start over.

An Xiaodao had never felt sorry for anyone before, but today, she felt sorry for the young man with tears in his eyes.

It's not just a dog, and it's not a wound that can be healed by saying sorry.

She Yilong didn't expect An Xiaodao's mood to be so low, and he was not good at words, so he could only follow silently behind.

"Brother Long, I don't want to be hated like this, things shouldn't have been so bad. ”

She Xiaolong didn't feel that he was wrong to shoot the arrow.

The young lady was bitten, which he would never allow to appear in case of absolutely not, it was not just a duty.

She Qilong had seen someone die of hydrophobia after being bitten by a dog, and no one had any choice but to watch the sixteen or seventeen-year-old child die alone in a dark room.

And he was just bitten by a dog with a small wound.

That child is the opposite sex brother of She Yilong, the kind of brother who kowtows to each other with stones and leaves as tribute.

She didn't like dogs, even hated them, but he didn't shoot that arrow because of that.

An Xiaodao said this, and the sentence he originally wanted to say didn't come out, but his lips moved, and he said dryly, "I'm afraid that it will bite you." ”

An Xiaodao bit his lip and said, "Brother Long, I'm sorry!"

The naughty and willful An Xiaodao She Xiaolong coped with it easily, and it would be good to put on a cold face, but maybe it was too long, and when An Xiaodao needed him to warm up, he wouldn't.

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he said firmly: "Miss is serious, you are not sorry for me." ”

An Xiaodao turned his head sharply, glared at him and said, "Hmph, you are a piece of wood!"

With that, he ran forward.

She Yilong understood, it was better to be a wood, and there was no need to speak.

In the final analysis, this matter was provoked by An Xiaodao, and She Yilong knew that An Xiaodao knew it in his heart.

After running a few steps, she came to a tree, An Xiaodao pounded the trunk with her small fist, she didn't know what to do, so she had to be angry with the tree, Brother Long is good at everything, but his mouth is too stupid and he won't say anything good.

She remembered the boy.

That very reasonable boy is very good at talking, and he doesn't want that fierce looking teenager, although he looks good, he is very scary.

She Yilong saw Miss beating the tree, and thought that the opportunity had come, so he stepped forward quickly and shouted behind An Xiaodao: "Miss dodge!"

Hearing the sound, An Xiaodao's figure moved involuntarily, flashed to the side, and watched with his mouth half-open as She Qilong slashed at the trunk with one palm.

The tree was broken, She Qilong put away his palm, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Miss, how is it?"

An Xiaodao let out an "ah", he didn't understand too much what She Yilong's move meant, could it be that Brother Long's heart was also full of grievances? It must be, Brother Long is such a proud person, but he is so passive, he must be very aggrieved.

"Brother Long, if you want to fight, just hit a few more trees, anyway, your love of cutting trees is well known in the mountains. ”

She Yilong looked at the half-cut tree trunk, and pulled out a severed arrow from the quiver, which was cut off by Yuan Xi and flew towards An Xiaodao.

His arrows rarely missed, very few, but today he missed, what is the identity of that young man?

From Bazhou, could it be that he is a member of the Qingyun Sect?

Looking at She Xiaolong, who was in a daze with a broken arrow, An Xiaodao knew in his heart that it must be, he was sad to patronize, but he ignored Brother Long's feelings, thinking of this, she said softly: "Brother Long, don't be sad, although that young man is powerful, but I am sure that his archery skills must not be as good as Brother Long's." ”

She Qilong stroked the broken arrow, and at that time he could clearly see that the broken arrow on the dog's body was discounted by a stone that the young man casually popped.

Shaking his head, he turned his head to look at An Xiaodao and said: "Miss, let's pass this matter, as the young man said, there may not be a goodbye day, and it will be useless for Miss to linger in her heart, I just hope that Miss can remember today's events, and he won't have a similar incident in the future." ”

At this moment, An Xiaodao's mood was much better, she jumped lightly, stood on top of the broken tree, and said with a smile: "Brother Long, you see that I am so much taller than you." ”

Seeing this, She Yilong understood that the original young lady was back.

"Miss, if you say so, I'll go to that tree!"

An Xiaodao giggled: "You go up, if you dare to go up, I will tell my cousin your 'good words' when I go home!"

An Xiaodao's cousin is named Sheng Ying, who is the daughter of Sheng Luhao, the deputy marshal of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses.

The person she admires is Sheng Ying.

Turning his back, She Qilong whispered, "Childish!"

An Xiaodao jumped down, pulled She Xiaolong's sleeve and said, "Brother Long, I don't want to go home yet, my father should let me play with the second son when I go home, but I really don't like him!"

She Yilong sighed, the words of his parents, the appointment of the matchmaker, as a young lady, he couldn't hide it.

"Miss, you just said it, why did you regret it so quickly?"

"Hehe, do you believe women's words, especially beautiful women!"

She Yilong was a little helpless, and he knew not to coax her.

"Still being a bandit here?"

An Xiaodao shook his head, looked at the distant mountain and said: "Brother Long, can we disperse this cottage in Niujiao Mountain, if we leave, they should rob the house again, I want to do something good." ”

She Yilong pondered for a moment and said: "Miss, the cottage is demolished today, and someone will build it for him tomorrow, I understand your thoughts, but this matter is a symptom rather than a cure after all, in my opinion, if we make an appointment with the left protector in three chapters and warn one or two, the effect may be better." ”

An Xiaodao smiled and nodded, "Brother Long is still thoughtful, Brother Long has gone down the mountain, let's go find that Mr. Tao, okay?"

She Yilong nodded, "Okay, I also yearn for this person, but, miss, this time we have to talk about it, after finding Mr. Tao, we will go back to Xiangyang." ”

Nanjun Town, General's Mansion.

Bu Ji'an said to Yang Shucha, who was returning from the dust: "Running all the way, you have worked hard, have you heard the news of the deputy marshal?"

Yang Shucha replied: "Back to the general, after I arrived in Xiangyang City, I first went to the Shuai's Mansion to deliver the letter, and then stayed in the inn for the time being, and by the way, I inquired about the news of the deputy marshal, I heard that the deputy marshal went to Chunshui City and has now returned to Xiangyang." ”

Bu Ji'an nodded and said, "You go and rest!"

After Yang Shucha retired, Bu Ji'an unfolded the letter in his hand.

After a few quick glances, he already knew what Wei Shuai meant, folded the letter into his arms, walked out of the study, and ordered: "Come on, prepare the carriage." ”

In the past few days in Nanjun City, He Xiangfeng has never left the inn, and the people in Buji'an can only stare outside the inn, so they don't find anything at all.

Wei Fan Gu told Bu Ji'an in the letter to stabilize He Xiangfeng, since he was a messenger sent from Yangzhou, then treat him with courtesy, he wanted to see the king, so give him a chance to see the king.

Wei Fan Gu asked Bu Ji'an to wait for his news, and he would personally appeal to the King of Jiangling on this matter.

Bu Ji'an was going to the inn to meet the master, and by the way, he would tell He Xiangfeng what Wei Shuai meant.

He Xiangfeng held a dry cloth in his hand, and wiped his sword there, his sword was specially made for him by the family, and a very rare piece of material came from the side by side palace.

Uncle He Jian is only two years older than him, and he is from the side of the family, if he is not favored by the Sword Worship Pavilion, I am afraid that he will not have much interest.

What about a kendo genius? His brain is very straight, if it weren't for the Lord's order, how could that sword fall into the hands of Zuo and Zuo? Why did he think that he could kill people with a piece of broken iron?

Naive!

He Xiangfeng loves to practice swords, and he likes swords even more, and his long-cherished wish is to take back the heavenly sword of his ancestors.

The body of the sword has been polished brightly, He Xiangfeng returned the sword into the sheath, and said to the kneeling people in the room: "I already know the meaning of the lord, as for Jingzhou, I will do it according to the intention of the painter, tell Lao Di and other people in Bazhou to listen to the dispatch of the painter, you go!"

The man said goodbye and left, and He Xiangfeng sat in the room, thinking about his plan.

Bu Ji'an's carriage arrived at the inn, and Bu Ji'an, who had changed into civilian clothes, only came in a small carriage, but after getting off the carriage, he was still recognized by the shopkeeper, and hurriedly left the counter and went out to greet him in person.

"General Bu is here, and the shop is honored!"

After speaking, he shouted at the young man: "Come quickly, invite the general to the best private room upstairs." ”

Turning his head and smiling, he said to Bu Ji'an: "General Bu, how much wine do you want?"

Bu Ji'an didn't want to drink here, but the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic, he was embarrassed to push back, just a few drinks with the master, so he nodded and said: "The best wine will be sent a few pots first, as for the appetizers, you can just look at some specialty dishes." ”

Bu Ji'an did not bring any guards, the carriage was waiting outside, he went upstairs with the man alone, and after taking a seat in the private room, he said to the man: "Little second brother, help me invite the guests of Tianzi Jiafang here." ”

The young man who received the reward from Bu Ji'an was happy in his heart, and he was busy helping the general invite guests.

Zheng Xiding wanted to call Yi Zhongyuan to go with him, but after going out, he changed his mind and went to find Bu Ji'an alone.

The wine was personally sent by the shopkeeper, and he wanted to talk to the general more, but Bu Ji'an said "put it down", and the shopkeeper understood that the general was not here to drink.

Zheng Xiding pushed the door in, and Bu Ji'an hurriedly got up and stepped forward, "Master, in order to avoid suspicion from others, otherwise the disciple will personally go to the master's room to ask for peace." ”

Zheng Xiding said with a smile: "You kid, what are you doing so politely with your teacher, it's just a few steps, and I won't be able to walk these few steps as a teacher." ”

Bu Ji'an said with a smile: "Master said that he was laughing, please sit down, let's talk while drinking and talking!"

After the two of them sat down, Bu Ji'an poured Zheng Xiding a glass of wine first, and said when he poured himself wine: "Master, Wei Shuai has replied." ”

Hearing Bu Ji'an say this, Zheng Xiding was not in a hurry to drink, and asked in a low voice, "What do you say?"

Putting down the wine jug, Bu Ji'an took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Zheng Xiding, "Master, this is Wei Shuai's letter." ”

Zheng Xiding nodded at Bu Ji'an, took the letter, Zhan Xin glanced at it a few times, looked up at Bu Ji'an and said, "According to Wei Shuai's meaning, just let He Xiangfeng go to see the king, what does this mean? Could it be that Wei Shuai still has prejudices against me in Ziyang Pavilion?"

Bu Ji'an shook his head and said: "Master, I don't think so, Wei Shuai's move is to protect our Ziyang Pavilion, think about it, if he He Xiangfeng convinces the king, it's okay, but if the king sticks to the alliance with Bazhou, maybe the king won't do anything to him He Xiangfeng, after all, it's Yangzhou, but what about our Ziyang Pavilion in Jingzhou? Will it be accused of collaborating with the enemy?"

Zheng Xiding picked up the wine glass, just put it to his lips, drank it all, thought for a moment and said: "This is reasonable, Ji'an, I want to visit Wei Shuai, when do you think it is appropriate?"

Bu Ji'an accompanied the master to drink the wine in the cup, and said while pouring the wine: "If the master is not in a hurry, just wait a few more days, and when there is news from the royal capital, it will not be too late for us to leave, otherwise with his ability to go to the wind, it is better for us to go a few more people." ”

Zheng Xiding nodded and said, "It's okay!"

After clinking glasses with Bu Ji'an, he casually asked, "Is there any news from the deputy marshal?"

After the two of them drank it all, Bu Ji'an said: "The deputy marshal went to Chunshui City, and now he has returned to Xiangyang." ”

"Springwater City?"

During the conversation, the second brother knocked on the door, delivered four plates of hot dishes, and then closed the door and left.

After the guy left, Zheng Xiding added a mouthful of fish and chewed it slowly, and after spit out a thorn, he said: "Ji'an, I think the king is only afraid that he will believe his words He Xiangfeng." ”

Bu Ji'an pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because of the deputy marshal?"

Zheng Xiding nodded and said: "It seems that the king is not at ease with this Bazhou ally, the deputy marshal will not go to Wuling in the east, but to Chunshui City, that is very revealing, in addition, I heard that the guard of Wuling City is Xiang Feiang who returned from Bazhou?"

Bu Ji'an nodded and said: "This matter is decided by the king alone, and I don't understand why, and Wei Shuai didn't object at the beginning." ”

"It seems that this is indeed outstanding, I heard that this person is from our Jingzhou. ”

Bu Ji'an said: "General Xiang is from Xiangyang City, but I haven't heard of his background. ”

Zheng Xiding shook his head and said, "Since the king is at ease, we don't need to worry about this, let's drink!"

The two drank and ate.

Zheng Xiding looked at the fish on the plate and said: "This fish meat is delicious, but it has thorns, it is not done well, but it is fishy, but there are still many people who like to eat fish, just because they can't resist its deliciousness, now in this world, it is like the fish meat on this plate, there are many people staring at it, but who will be the person who makes the fish and the person who eats the fish? Don't accidentally get pricked in the throat and hurt yourself." ”

Bu Ji'an also sandwiched a piece of fish meat, gently pulled out a thorn, put it in his mouth and tasted it, after toasting the master with a glass of wine, he nodded and said: "Be careful to pull out the thorn, this meat is still edible, as for this fish, I think our Jingzhou is doing very well." ”

Zheng Xiding smiled and said, "Okay, then this plate of fish will have to eat a few bites as a teacher." ”

Bu Ji'an asked, "Master, where is the master?"

Zheng Xiding said with a smile: "It's okay, your master is now concentrating on cultivation, and the worldly world in the sect is taken care of by the teacher, but I'm afraid that in less than two years, the senior brother will give up the position of head to me and be a carefree person." ”

Bu Ji'an raised his glass and smiled: "Then I have to congratulate the master first." ”

Zheng Xiding shook his head and said, "Alas, it's all hard work!"

Bu Ji'an smiled and didn't say much, it wasn't a day or two that the master wanted to be the head of the house, and he knew it very well in his heart.

Luoyue City Xiangguo Mansion, in a secret room, there are several people sitting around.

The person sitting in it is Yuan Bingde.

Yuan Shixin, the side-by-side king of Xiangguo, was not here.

The deputy head of the Sword Pavilion sat on the left and left, his disciple He Jian sat opposite Yuan Bingde, and the three elders of the Sword Pavilion sat on the left and left behind He Zhen.

Yuan Bingde looked left and left and said: "The left master, the opportunity is rare, and I hope that the head of the house will go all out to kill the enemy." ”

Zuo Youzuo raised the sword in his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness, with this sword in your hand, the old man has a little more certainty." ”

Yuan Bingde smiled and nodded, and asked He Jian again: "Mr. He, you really don't need to change a sword?"

He Zhen snorted coldly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, is this looking down on the sword in He Mou's hand?"

Yuan Bingde was familiar with He Yan's temperament, so he didn't care about it, but just smiled: "This matter is very important, and this prince still thinks it's better to be more prepared." ”

He Yan hugged the sword in his arms, and still said coldly: "Other swords are not used to it, it will affect the strength, Your Highness can rest assured, if this sword is not successful, it will be the sword in hand that day, and the result will be the same!"

"Okay, then Mr. He is free. ”

After speaking, Yuan Bingde got up and said: "Then it's up to you, after the arrangements are made, let's act." ”

"Okay, then Mr. He is free. ”

After speaking, Yuan Bingde got up and said: "Then it's up to you, after the arrangements are made, let's act." ”

In the imperial city of Luoyue City, there are three people in the main hall.

Xiangguo Yuan Shixin, national teacher Huo Xingwei, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Sima Wende.

After being a puppet emperor for thirteen years, Sima Wende has long been accustomed to him sitting on the dragon chair and finally saying the last sentence, "Just follow what the father said" or "Just do what the national teacher says." ”

However, he rarely participated in the deliberations of the national teacher and Xiangguo.

When he was eighteen years old, the national teacher advocated and Xiangguo arranged to set up a queen for him. The queen is the granddaughter of the Ministry of Rites, dignified and virtuous, but her appearance is ......

The queen felt that the emperor had a quirk, and she didn't like to light the lamp when she performed the Zhou Gong ceremony.

And Sima Wende is bitter in his heart, he can't see his face clearly, and he can still pick up a gun and get on the horse, if he can see it clearly, I'm afraid that his gun won't be able to hold it.

There are 3,000 beauties in the harem of the humane emperor, but there is only one person in Sima Wende's harem, which is very similar to his grandfather Sima Zhengkang.

He also wanted to fill the harem, but unfortunately neither Xiangguo nor the national teacher agreed.

Therefore, even the palace maid didn't dare to start, so he had to settle for it, but for some reason, the queen's stomach was always shriveled and did not have any effect.

Sima Wende felt that he was sorry for the ancestors of the Great Jin Dynasty, and this throne was just that, why couldn't he even continue to have an heir.

Could it really be that his Sima clan's qi is approaching?

If it weren't for the fact that he Sima Wende still has some backbone and knows what it means to endure humiliation and bear weight, he would have abdicated a long time ago to make way for Xian.

How similar is the person who speaks to His Highness now to the prime minister who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

"Your Majesty, I have been in the position of Xiangguo for many years now, and the affairs of Yangzhou have always been handled by dogs, so I will leave this side by side king to him, and I can assist Your Majesty with peace of mind. ”

Sima Wende sat on the dragon chair and said to Yuan Shixin, who was sitting on his right hand: "Father, I remember that since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the succession of the princes of each state to the throne has been arranged by the princes of each state, and there is no need for the approval of the dynasty. ”

Yuan Shixin leaned slightly, saluted, and said: "Even so, the states still have to report to Your Majesty, and the new kings of the states will come to the national capital to meet the saints. ”

Sima Wende smiled bitterly: "Father, now in all states, I'm afraid that only we in Yangzhou still recognize me, His Majesty the Emperor." ”

On the side, Huo Xingwei suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, they can recognize it, and they can recognize it." ”

Yuan Shixin's eyes flashed, and then he said: "The National Teacher is reasonable. ”

Then he said to Huo Xingwei: "I don't know what the National Teacher wants?"

Huo Xingwei said lightly: "The rules of the dynasty are like this, since the king is willing to give up this throne to the prince, I have no opinion." ”

Yuan Shixin said with a smile: "It's better to discuss it with the National Teacher!"

Huo Xingwei nodded slightly.

At this time, Yuan Shixin said to Sima Wende again: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess heard that the Queen Mother was sick and had trouble sleeping and eating, and wanted to come to the capital to visit. ”

"Is my aunt here? Where is she now? Father, can you let my aunt come to stay in the palace for a few days?"

Although Sima Wende has only seen his aunt two or three times, after all, he is his closest relative, and when he heard that Sima Ruolan came to the imperial city, he was overjoyed.

Yuan Shixin glanced at the national teacher Huo Xingwei, and when he saw that his face remained unchanged, he said to Sima Wende: "Your Majesty, the princess is currently living in the Xiangguo Mansion, and after I return to the palace, I will send someone to send the princess into the palace." ”

"So good, so good!"

Sima Wende was overjoyed, remembering what Yuan Shixin said, so he said: "Father, since my uncle has also arrived in the imperial city, then I will add icing on the cake, draw up a holy decree, announce to the world, and the king will be inherited by Yuan Bingde, the son of the palace, what does Father Xiang?"

Yuan Shixin stood up, bowed to Sima Wende and said: "The emperor's grace, Yuan Shixin is ashamed and dare not take it, he just wants to be ruined, and he is dedicated to sharing my worries for the Great Jin." ”

Huo Xingwei half-raised his eyes, and regained his demeanor, as if he did not see Yuan Shixin's loyalty.

Sima Wende had already stood up from the dragon chair, stretched his arms and said, "Father Xiang, get up quickly, I just took advantage of the situation." ”

Yuan Shixin saluted and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Straightening his waist, Yuan Shixin looked at Huo Xingwei and said, "Master National Teacher, speaking of the rules, Benxiangguo remembered one thing, and wanted to ask the National Teacher, what are the rules?"

Huo Xingwei, whose eyes were slightly closed, opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Shixin, who was standing with his hands behind his back, and said with a light smile: "Xiangguo, please speak!"

Yuan Shixin paced a few steps and said slowly: "According to the usual practice, this national teacher is served by a person from the Xuanyi Sect, which is a rule set from the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, but I remember that there is another rule behind this rule, and the same person shall not serve as a national teacher for more than fifteen years. ”

Huo Xingwei smiled and nodded and said, "This is indeed the case, my senior brother handed over this position to me after fifteen years." ”

Yuan Shixin smiled, he didn't believe that Huo Xingwei didn't understand what he meant.

It's just that Huo Xingwei's words made him angry, but he couldn't attack.

"This is my own rule, what are you doing?"
