On this day, there was a young man outside the gate of Jinling City who pulled an ox cart and walked slowly, the young man stepped on a pair of clogs and walked with a gurgling sound, and a green shirt moved with the wind. He used to dress like this, but today it is the same, but there is an extra white wipe on his forehead.

The young man's face was expressionless, calm as a mountain rock, but the exhaustion was hidden. Not to mention the young man, even the scalper who pulled the cart was slow, and every time he lifted his hooves and fell, he trembled slightly. The boy was so tired that the ox was almost exhausted, but the boy still pulled the ox cart and continued to move forward.

When the young man approached with the ox cart, the captain on duty at the city gate recognized the young man, and he walked up quickly, his face full of flattery and concern, and asked, "Third Young Master Li, where is this ······?"

The lieutenant's words paused in his mouth, and he saw something pulled on the ox cart, on which a thin wooden coffin was pulled, and the coffin was rough in workmanship, and it seemed that it was also freshly beaten.

The young man in the green shirt stopped, and the scalper also stopped his hooves. At the moment when the ox stopped its hooves, even if it was a strong ox, it was already physically exhausted and could not support it, and then his knees bent and he collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud. The scalper first gasped hard, it was so tired that it could no longer get up, and even, it could no longer breathe happily.

The scalper's rapid gasping lasted only a few moments, and finally stopped, and the sound of the scalper's gasping could no longer be heard. The young man in the green shirt squatted in front of the scalper's head, the scalper's eyes were still open, and his eyes were already empty. The young man in the green shirt closed his eyes and silently recited a scripture that seemed to be a dead life, and then he reached out and stroked the bull's eye, the ox was dead, and the road was hard, so he should not die without turning a blind eye.

The young man in the green shirt also trembled slightly, as if he was about to shake a few more times like the scalper, and he was about to fall to the ground. The captain of the city guard supported this Third Young Master Li, and his tone was a little more concerned.

"Third Young Master Li, Third Young Master Li ······"

The boy in the green shirt finally struggled to support, his eyelids closed, and he fell asleep and died.

When the boy in the green shirt woke up, he was lying on his big comfortable bed. He wanted to get up, but the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he couldn't even raise his hand.

A delicate voice came, the tone was calm, and no trace of emotion could be heard.

"Yunhong, it's the road. ”

Li Yunhong, the boy in the green shirt, looked at the person sitting on the edge of the bed, this person's face was also somewhat similar to his own, but compared to himself, this person's face was more feminine.

Li Yunhong smiled, the laughter was bitter, and it revealed helplessness, listening to him: "Second brother, I didn't kill her." ”

Sitting on the edge of the bed was the second eldest of the Li family, Li Pinghong. Li Pinghong nodded, patted his third brother's shoulder, and finally revealed emotion in his tone, which was comfort and relief.

"That's it, that's it. Since then, there is no more son-in-law in the world, and there is no Li Ganghong in the Li family. Yunhong, I set up a dark tablet for my brother in the study. But after the Li family, I have to work hard for you. ”

Li Yunhong smiled again, which made Li Pinghong a little puzzled, and he didn't need to ask, his third brother opened his mouth first.

"Indeed, I should have obeyed the king's command and killed my brother with my own hands. It's a pity, it's a pity, I can't do it after all. It's a pity that my brother died because of me after all. ”

Li Pinghong couldn't help frowning, Li Yunhong didn't do anything he expected it early, after all, Li Yunhong was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but what did his brother mean by his death?

"You may want to ask, how did my brother die because of me, and what did I do when I traveled, right?"

His own brother, there is no need to be crooked, Li Pinghong nodded, and his third brother naturally told the answer.

"Mr. Yadou is destroyed by a sword, my sword, my sword, after all, is still general. ”

"So, you could have killed Mr. Yato?"

Li Yunhong nodded and continued: "My brother's original intention was to kill Mr. Badou, so that the outstanding juniors in the world don't have to worry about whether they will die before they become famous. But the elder brother still didn't kill this killer in the end, he said that Mr. Badou had saved Brother Xuandi, and he couldn't kill her. Naturally, I can't kill her either. ”

After that, the two brothers only chatted for a dozen sentences, and Li Pinghong let the three brothers have a good rest, and he went out. Good

Li Pinghong, who left the Li family, got into the carriage and went to the Forbidden City, and when the city guards saw the horse sign hanging on the carriage, they all opened the side door and did not dare to stop it.

traveled all the way, and after entering the Forbidden City, Li Pinghong walked briskly in small steps and went straight to the East Palace.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Jinling City, Zhu Jiannan, did not approve the official document in the study today, and as a few days ago, he was still in the imperial garden, with a rattan chair and a pot of spirits. It was as if he was lying on a rattan chair, drinking spirits, and watching the clouds roll in the sky.

A palace lady walked behind Zhu Jiannan in small steps and knelt down, and was about to report it, but Zhu Jiannan opened his mouth one step ahead of him. He didn't get up or look back, just waved his hand, and then said, "Just let him come in." ”

After Gong E got up, he saluted behind His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, took more than ten steps back, and then turned around and walked out.

Not long after, Li Pinghong walked briskly in a brown robe.

Also arrived behind Zhu Jiannan, where he knelt in the same position as the previous palace e, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "See Your Highness." ”

Zhu Yanan waved his hand again, and then said, "Get up, tell me, what did you ask?"

Li Pinghong hesitated and was silent. But after more than a dozen times, he finally opened his mouth and said the words as they were.

"Zhumen is rich and drinks fierce wine, what does the three-foot Qingfeng want? ”

Zhu Jiannan was silent for a long time when he heard the four lines of poetry from the newspaper. On this point, one master and one servant, lying and kneeling, quiet and silent. After touching half a pillar of incense, Zhu Jiannan, who was lying on the rattan chair, stood up, raised the wine jug in his hand, and poured it. The wine flowed into his mouth, and the liquor spiced his throat, but Zhu Jiannan let out a long "ah" with a happy "ah".

Then His Royal Highness the Prince of Jinling City laughed and laughed wildly, and repeated these four lines of poetry in a haughty voice: "Zhumen is rich and drinks fierce wine, what does the three-foot Qingfeng want? Childe is pretty, Childe is pretty, what do you ask for in the three-foot Qingfeng, what do you want!"

Li Pinghong still knelt on one knee, bowing his head and saying nothing. Zhu Jiannan came back to his senses and helped him up, with a gentle smile on his face. But the more he was like this, the more frightened Li Pinghong was in his heart. Then Li Pinghong "pounced" and knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, Yunhong is loyal, heaven and earth can be learned!"

When Zhu Jiannan heard this, he still didn't change his gentle smile. He once again helped Li Pinghong, who was in the authentic lineage of the Li family, up, but then sighed, let out a long breath, and said: "Sometimes, this king will feel that everything this king has done is wrong. Pinghong, do you think what this king did was right or wrong?"

Li Pinghong clenched his hands into fists, bent his waist slightly, lowered his head slightly, and said in a respectful and firm tone: "The Li family has been around the king of Jinling for generations, and they have been loyal in the past, present, or future. ”

Zhu Jiannan laughed out loud, his voice was hearty, and it spread far and wide.

"This king believes that your Li family is loyal, so it's better to let Yunhong enter Beijing. ”

Hearing that Li Yunhong was allowed to enter Beijing, Li Pinghong's eyes couldn't help but widen, his face was full of horror, and he raised his head suddenly. When he saw the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, he couldn't help but feel cold in his sideburns, and his body almost trembled, and he wanted to fall upside down.

Zhu Jiannan's eyes were as cold as an abyss, and he couldn't see any emotion. But then His Royal Highness's eyes changed, and he was as gentle as before.

"That's it, Pinghong, you go down. In the future Jinling, in the future Lincheng, you Li Pinghong will also have to work hard. ”

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, Li Pinghong is unwilling to guess Zhu Jiannan's thoughts, and he can't guess Zhu Jiannan's thoughts. He had to salute with a fist again, and after returning "yes", he took a few steps back like the previous Gong'e, and then turned around and left in small steps.

In addition to the palace and guards at the edge of this imperial garden, in the central rest area, only Zhu Jiannan was left again. He didn't lie back on the rattan chair, but straightened his hands behind his waist and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds. The wind passed through the clouds, and there was a slight whistling sound. Occasionally, birds flew by, and a few long chirps.

Zhu Jiannan's nose moved slightly, and after smelling the rich aroma emanating from his body, the corners of his mouth showed bitterness. Then His Royal Highness sighed, and his tone was full of bitterness.

"Zhumen Fugui drinks fierce wine, heh, Zhumen fierce wine, Zhumen fierce wine. ”
