The next day, Long Shaoyang got up early, practiced boxing and kicking in the courtyard for a while, and took a bath. As soon as I finished breakfast, I saw Cheng Bo walk in, holding a set of neat clothes in his hand and placing it in front of the bed.

Long Shaoyang asked, "Uncle Cheng, what does this mean?"

Cheng Bo said with a smile: "Young Master Long, yesterday the young lady heard that the young lady was going to see the distinguished guests, so she specially ordered the servant to re-iron the clothes that the prince had entered the palace for the banquet last time. As the saying goes, people are clothes, horses are saddles, not to mention that today's son wants to see a distinguished guest, and his appearance is not sloppy...... "As he spoke, he changed Long Shaoyang's clothes.

Long Shaoyang hurriedly said: "It's really Mrs. Lao." Cheng Bo thanked his wife on my behalf. "I changed it at the moment, his clothes were neat, and he showed that he was handsome and chic, and his bearing was extraordinary.

Out of Xiao Mansion, Long Shaoyang walked along the street and walked in the direction of Tianjie. For the Guiyun Pavilion, he knew that the Shangyuan Festival battle mystery was here. didn't ask for directions at the moment, followed the road that came with Xiao Di that night, and walked in the opposite direction.

This time, he gave up riding a horse and switched to walking, first, because he felt that he had plenty of time, secondly, he wanted to feel the prosperity of Los Angeles by the way, and thirdly, he did not want to have another incident. On that day, he led the horse alone, but he didn't know that BMW attracted people's eyes and ears, which made Qiu Youwei such a gentleman jealous, who knew that there were some rights and wrongs for no reason. At that time, the sun was rising, bright and sunny, Long Shaoyang walked through the streets and alleys, and walked slowly.

About half an hour, I saw a tall restaurant standing on the street in the distance, which was Guiyun Pavilion.

After taking two steps, Long Shaoyang suddenly had a strange feeling, and pondered: "This century-old store has always been full of friends, and the sound of shouting cups and plates and orders is loud, and it can be heard from a distance, why is it so quiet today." I thought to myself, I kept my feet, and when I got closer, I saw that the door of the store was wide open, but the tables and chairs inside were neat, and there was not a single diner.

Just as he was hesitating, a guy had already stepped forward, looked him up and down, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname, but is it Gongzi Long?"

Seeing that Long Shaoyang nodded, the guy looked happy and said, "It turns out that it is really Long Gongzi, the distinguished guests upstairs are already waiting for you in the private room, please!"

Long Shaoyang followed behind the guy, looking around as he walked. Seeing this, the guy hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, the small shop has been chartered by this distinguished guest upstairs today, and there are only the master in charge and a few running guys in the store, which is inevitably quieter than usual...... Long Shaoyang nodded with a smile, and did not answer, followed the steps up, and went straight to the second floor.

When I came to a private room, I saw that the door was open, and the guy gave up his hand and whispered, "Zhu Gongzi, your guest has arrived." Young Master Long, please!" When the people came into the house, the guy took it with him, closed the door, and retreated.

Long Shaoyang walked in slowly, and saw that this was a very large private room, facing the south of the street, elegantly furnished, antique, separated by a screen in the middle, divided into three small rooms. There is a table in the middle near the window, a person sits with his back to the window, combs his hair in a bun, wears a royal blue silk shirt, reveals a graceful and noble atmosphere, is holding a cup in his right hand, drinking tea.

Hearing the sound, the man paused slightly, raised his head, and smiled slightly, it was Zhu Xibing who was wearing men's clothes. I only heard her smile and said: "I have a glass of wine, which can comfort the wind and dust." Long Gongzi has worked hard and come from afar, how about we have three drinks today?"

Long Shaoyang smiled, and immediately pushed the boat down the river and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Thank you girl for your kindness!" stepped forward and sat opposite Zhu Xibing.

Zhu Xibing suddenly raised his jade hand, struck lightly with his two palms, and made two crisp sounds. After a while, there was a creak, and the door opened, and a few men entered, each holding a tray and a plate full of delicious food. After a while, the table was full of all kinds of exquisite dishes, chicken, duck and fish, all of which were exquisite and beautiful, and in the middle was the signature dish of Guiyun Pavilion - the iron lion's head, and on the side were two pots of jade pot spring wine.

The men set up the food and drinks, and then left, and in an instant they were clean, and there were only two people left in the private room.

Long Shaoyang was full of suspicions, I don't know what she was doing, looking at a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, the aroma was fragrant, but she had no appetite. At that moment, he asked, "I wonder why the girl asked me to come here?"

Zhu Xibing was speechless after hearing this, picked up the wine jug, poured two glasses of wine, pushed one in front of Long Shaoyang, and said with a smile: "Is it a serious matter to invite you to drink?"

Long Shaoyang heard her words like a joke, but also seemed serious, and couldn't help but feel refreshed. Seeing her raise her glass and drink, as if she deliberately covered up her words, she didn't answer at the moment, and raised her glass to drink without saying a word.

Zhu Xibing picked up the wine jug, poured two more glasses, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Long, do you remember that day when we rode horses in the west of the city, I asked you if you and the county lord of Dongwu Zizi had known each other for a long time, and you didn't answer my words, yes or no?"

Long Shaoyang nodded.

"Would you like to answer now?"

Long Shaoyang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Miss Zhu, why are you so hard?!"

Zhu Xibing snorted and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't want to answer, and I don't like to be difficult for strong people." But you can't hide it from me, and I dare to conclude that you must have known each other before. ”

Although it was not the first time I had heard her mention this, but when it came out of her mouth again at this moment, Long Shaoyang was still startled, and he felt that his palms were tight. After pondering for a moment, he forced a smile and said: "Lord Lingzun is an auxiliary government of a country, a very popular minister, and there are talented people all over the world, so it is naturally not difficult to find out some private secrets." ”

Zhu Xibing shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with my father." ”

Long Shaoyang was slightly fixed in his heart, and said strangely: "It has nothing to do with Lord Lingzun? Zhu girl, I don't understand what you mean." ”

Zhu Xibing chuckled: "It's a shame that others still say that you are both civil and military, and you are quick to think, and you are even stupid when you think about it." To tell you the truth, it's not my father, it's Miss Ben who guessed it herself. ”

Long Shaoyang was shocked again, and the scenes of encounters with the county lord of Zizi quickly flashed in his mind: since he came to Luocheng, in the Qianyang Palace, on the streets of Nanshi, and in Luobinfang, he and the county lord of Zizi have had three fates, all in front of everyone, far apart, and the conversation is only a few words, nothing more than greetings and politeness, and there is no private contact, how can she conclude that she and the county lord Zizi have already known each other?

Thinking of Zhu Xibing's cunning and alert and scheming, but did she know that she did not deliberately design it, lying and tempting, and deceiving herself? Thinking of this, she made up her mind at the moment and said with a smile: "I wish the girl is really joking! Long was born in a reckless countryside, but the county lord is a nobleman, the two are as straight as clouds and mud, the county lord's demeanor is scorching, shining, Long only looks up, how can he get acquainted? I think that I want to come to Zhu girl must be confused. ”

Zhu Xibing glanced at him angrily, and said angrily: "Duplicity, insincerity, should be punished with a glass of wine." ”

Long Shaoyang said: "How duplicitous I am, and how I am insincere, please tell the girl." ”

"Do you really want me to say it?" Zhu Xibing looked proud, raised his chin lightly, and said, "Drink this glass of wine first, and this girl will tell you." ”

Long Shaoyang tilted his neck, and there was no trickle of wine in the cup.

"Refreshing!" Zhu Xibing smiled lightly, "Since Young Master Long has practiced, how can the little woman be the queen?" said as he picked up the wine jug, filled the wine glass, and continued: "But this matter is a long story. Does Young Master Long still remember that day when His Majesty's birthday banquet was more skillful?"

On the eighteenth birthday banquet of His Majesty on the eighteenth day of the first month, I wish the old Xiangguo proposed to learn martial arts in front of the palace, and Xiangguo Gan'er quietly thought about defeating strong enemies in a row, and made a big show. Just when he asked himself to fight, he expected that Miss Zhujia disguised herself as a man, killed halfway, "defeated" Jing Si, and finally reached a "draw" with himself, which Miss Zhu also knew...... Not long after, such as yesterday, Long Shaoyang said: "Naturally remember." ”

"Don't hide it from your son. On that day, I learned that His Majesty held a banquet in the Qianyang Hall to entertain hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys of various countries, and I was curious, so I thought about coming to see the excitement. But my father didn't let a girl show up on such an occasion, in desperation, I had an idea, changed into men's clothes, disguised myself and came to wait outside the palace gate early, and finally followed the envoys of the countries into the palace and came to the Qianyang Palace. ”

Long Shaoyang was slightly startled and said, "You have a human face, how did you get in, and the envoys of the countries didn't recognize you?"

Zhu Xibing said with a smile: "If it is normal times, it is difficult to hide in it. It's just that on this day, the envoys of the countries want to see the king in front of the emperor, and they are a little nervous, and many people come to the palace of Los Angeles for the first time, looking around with their two eyes, looking left and right, how can they have the heart to pay attention to the people around them?"

She laughed and continued: "Besides, the envoys of several countries gathered in one place, walking and walking, you have me, I have you, how can you distinguish you from me? I thought to myself, if the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty asked me who I was, I would say that I was the envoy of Eastern Wu, and if the envoy of Eastern Wu asked me, I would say that I was from Xiliang...... All in all, keep them scratching their heads. Speaking of this, he smiled heartily and looked chic and natural.

Long Shaoyang couldn't help but laugh, and said in his heart: "This is the case, it is true, since they are all strangers, who will pay attention to a stranger around them? ”

Zhu Xibing continued with a smile: "Following the envoys into the Qianyang Palace, I found an inconspicuous seat in the back row and sat down, bowing my head to eat tea as if nothing happened. I thought that since I had entered the temple and sat down, no one would come to interrogate my identity. Sure enough, seeing the palace maids in the palace shuttling back and forth, adding tea and pouring water, and placing fruit snacks, no one came to inquire, and a stone in my heart gradually fell. ”

Long Shaoyang clapped his palms and smiled: "It's really wonderful! If you change to someone else, most of you will know that your heart is weak, you will be panicked, and your behavior will be twisted, which will attract the attention of others." If you are so big and sitting as if nothing happened, no one will doubt your identity. ”

"Not bad. Zhu Xibing said with a smile, "After a while, hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries sat down one after another, and for a while, the hall was crowded with people and noisy voices, so I was safer." Who knew that this birthday banquet was not fun, giving wine and feasting, according to the step-by-step, the more I sat down, the more bored I felt, so I thought about taking a gap and leaving early. At this time, my father proposed that the imperial test be more martial arts, and when I heard it, I was interested and felt that there was a good show to watch. As for the later ...... Later, thanks to the concession, I was equal with my son, and I won the prize in front of His Majesty. ”

Long Shaoyang naturally knew about these things that day, but what was the relationship between this and the fact that he and the county lord of Zizi had already met, how to presume, he secretly thought about it, turned it over and over, and couldn't understand the essentials, because he smiled and said: "Zhu girl, the more you say that you are confused, how can these support the girl's judgment, please don't hesitate to give advice." ”

Zhu Xibing's face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "What's the matter? Don't you want to listen to me say more?"

Long Shaoyang almost blurted out: "No, I can chat with the girl, I am very happy, it can be said that he can let him shuttle back and forth between the sun and the moon for two rounds." But this thought was fleeting, and he immediately put his mind in his mind and said: "I wish the girl misunderstood, and I have no such intention in the future." ”

"That's pretty much it. Zhu Xibing smiled and glanced at him, stood up, paced back and forth, and continued, "On the day of the birthday banquet, I sat in the last row of the west seat, far away from the atrium, but everything in the hall was clearly visible. The county lord Zizi sat in the front row of the east seat, sitting opposite me, he had heard of the county lord's reputation before, and this time when he saw me, he looked at her a few more times, who knew that he actually saw some famous halls——"

"Mingtang, what Mingtang?" Long Shaoyang couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Xibing said leisurely: "After the competition began, the people in the palace were concentrating and watching the martial arts evaluation, but the county lord seemed to stay out of the matter and was indifferent. The eyes above the veil, although they looked into the temple out of courtesy, were also tangible and godless. After several games in a row, it was like this. Later, when Brother An made an invitation to Long Gongzi, the county lord suddenly became extremely concerned when he heard the voice......

Long Shaoyang blushed, and said with a smile: "Is there one?

Zhu Xibing turned around and said, "The moment Brother An called out the name of the son, the county lord's eyes suddenly lit up, and her gaze immediately swept over, or she realized that she was inappropriate, and then lowered her head, picked up the teacup, and made a gesture between her lips - don't you know, this is the so-called desire to cover up! This five-ten-ten is in my eyes...... The county lord's concern for Childe is obvious. With the dignity of the county lord and the high temperament, how could she care about a young man who had never known all her life?"

Saying that, a pair of wonderful eyes stared at Long Shaoyang, between his eyebrows and eyes, he seemed to be smiling, and said slowly, "Young Master Long, this girl is very puzzled by this, can you teach me a lesson or two?"
