Ten miles outside the East Extension Gate, the mountains and rivers are beautiful.

This is one of the best places to see the scenery in Kyoto. Although you can see the scenery in other places, it is not as good as the East Yanmen side.

The meditation pavilion has a long history, according to legend, it was built by a great writer hundreds of years ago, but at that time, the great writer's heart collapsed, and a martial arts cultivation was drained cleanly, and he died after building this meditation pavilion.

The word meditation was the biggest requirement he had for himself at that time.

Yu Yanke arrived here early in the morning.

What he didn't expect was that Mr. Liang came earlier.

Although the middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest is the teacher of the eldest princess, he looks very simple and down-to-earth, and the plain white Taoist robe is probably what he often sews and mends, and it is full of crooked needles and threads, which looks a little funny.

But he didn't have the slightest sense of simplicity and disobedience when he wore it, but it was very neat and atmospheric, which was probably due to his own temperament.

Mr. Liang was sitting in the meditation pavilion with his eyes closed, and the morning breeze caressed him, and he was unmoved.

Yu Yanke looked around at the scenery for a while, didn't dare to make too many movements, walked forward softly and slowly, and then bowed to the middle-aged Taoist priest, and lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing him: "Mr. Liang." ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest opened his eyes in response, and when he saw that it was Yu Yanke, a soft smile appeared on his face, he nodded to Yu Yanke, and said, "Sit down." ”

The voice is very mellow, and it has a mature charm unique to middle-aged men.

Yu Yanke nodded and sat down in a random position.

"I have nothing else to do when I call you today, I just want to talk and explain some things. Liang Nianpu said softly.

Yu Yanke nodded yes.

"I heard that you have been with Xiao Si for a long time. Liang Nianpu continued, his tone flat and straightforward. Yu Yanke nodded, not denying anything, but his expression gradually became curious, and he didn't know what this Mr. Liang wanted to say.

"The fourth child is something I watched grow up, and it's not easy for this child. Liang Nianpu glanced at Yu Yanke casually, and saw that he was sitting in a precarious position, so he nodded slightly.

Yu Yanke listened carefully and didn't talk, in fact, he couldn't talk.

"If you want to marry Xiao Si as a wife, pass me first, otherwise even if Your Majesty approves of you and Xiao Si approves of you, you will not be able to get what you want. Liang Nianpu suddenly changed his words and became sharp.

Yu Yanke looked at him in amazement, and saw that the middle-aged Taoist priest was not like a joke, and he was suddenly a little dazed, but he adjusted very quickly, and his expression changed very little.

"Mr. Liang, the so-called one day as a teacher and a father for life, the kid still understands this, so your approval is naturally very important. Yu Yanke replied.

"Hmm. ”

Liang Nianpu nodded, and then continued: "There are so many suitors before and after Xiao Si, I only saw you, I know what this means." ”

"Yes. ”

With such an obvious meaning, if Yu Yanke didn't know, he wouldn't be worthy of being side by side with Yun Xi.

Liang Nianpu shook his head with a smile and sighed: "You may not be able to afford the things on Xiao Si, although Xiao Si likes you very much, but sometimes, the reality is much crueler than ideals." ”

When Yu Yanke heard this, he became silent, of course he knew that Yun Xi was carrying some things, if she didn't have that layer of identity, it wouldn't be much easier.

These words, in fact, Yun Xi has been telling him all the time, openly and secretly, whether explicit or implicit, Yun Xi is reminding him of this. Therefore, Liang Nianpu's words are actually not superfluous for Yu Yanke.

In fact, he was ready to deal with everything in his heart, which can be regarded as a kind of opportunity.

"Mr. Liang, I have prepared all of this. After all, she is no ordinary woman. Yu Yanke said softly.

"That's for the best. Liang Nianpu still recognizes Yu Yanke's attitude.

"You may not know the problems that Xiao Si is facing now. Liang Nian and Pu Meiyu carried a little seriousness between them. Yu Yanke's expression also became serious when he saw this, and he knew that what Mr. Liang was going to say next was not a polite and empty word.

"Today's Kyoto is divided into three factions, and Your Majesty is the largest of the three factions, and no matter what they quarrel with, you have to listen to Your Majesty. ”

"And apart from those who are only loyal to His Majesty, there are two factions left, one is the prince's party, and the other is the princess's party. The reason why they are opposed is for the position of the prince of the empire. After all, once you become a minister from the dragon, it will not bring the simple benefits of being promoted to become rich. ”

"It's just that the current predicament of Xiao Si is actually that those people from the so-called princess party don't listen to her, and those guys are just for their own interests. ”

Liang Nianpu said Yun Xi's current predicament in a few words.

Yu Yanke listened carefully, and his brows gradually furrowed.

If that's the case, wouldn't Yun Ji's current situation be very embarrassing?

"Your Majesty has actually not dealt with this matter, and it is indeed because the third prince is far inferior to the fourth junior. In the people, the voice of the fourth prince is much higher than that of the third prince, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one-sided, and this is also the reason why the princess party has always existed. They are now behind the public, and if they don't handle it well, they will lose the support of the people. In order to make a better transition, His Majesty did not meddle in this matter, and even directly asked Xiao Si to come back to deal with it, and this problem was handed over to Xiao Si. ”

"Mr. Liang, the kid has something unclear. Yu Yanke took advantage of Liang Nianpu's pause to speak.

Say. Liang Nianpu is also a direct person, and he was not dissatisfied because Yu Yanke interrupted him.

"They persecuted Yun Xi so much, even if they won the party battle? Yun Xi didn't sit in that position, what else could they do?" Yu Yanke's words hit the nail on the head, directly pointing out the sore spots of those people.

When Liang Nianpu heard this, he shook his head and smiled, and said, "How can those people be the kind of people who dig their own graves." is obviously fighting for the throne for the eldest princess, but in fact, it is just for his own personal gain. Whether this farce wins or not, it doesn't matter to them whether Yun Jiden ascends the throne or not, all they want is the right to speak in front of them. ”

When Yu Yanke heard this, his expression was slightly abrupt, and he vaguely thought of something.

Liang Nianpu didn't say it explicitly, but just changed the conversation and said: "Xiaosi's situation is indeed a little difficult now, but this is not the most difficult thing for her, do you know how she grew up since she was a child?"

Yu Yanke shook his head.

"Since she can remember, she began to learn the art of the emperor, when she was seven years old, His Majesty used dragon qi to pour her body, and was born into a generation of Tianjiao, but, how can the dragon qi infuse body be so simple and easy to bear? ”

"What's even more regrettable is that the eldest prince, the former His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was still before the little four, he knew His Majesty's expectations for the little four, and knew that if the little four grew up, it would threaten his position. Since then, Xiao Si has been attacked constantly, but there is no clue pointing to His Royal Highness the Great Prince. ”

"Until Xiaosi left Beijing, she was still assassinated. Liang Nianpu whispered those secret things, these things, if someone didn't have the heart to investigate, they wouldn't be known to outsiders, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to find out anything without that authority.

"You must know that although Xiao Si is strong, after all, she has not really stood at the top of the world, and there are still many people who can threaten her. Liang Nianpu said.

Yu Yanke nodded, indicating that he knew.

"You are not even as good as Xiao Si now, although you also have an extraordinary power of luck, but you are still very immature, like Xiao Si, you have not grown up yet. ”

"And my existence is actually to shelter the little four before they grow up. ”

Liang Nianpu has never said these words to others, and the meaning of his words is actually very clear. Of course, Yu Yanke heard what Liang Nianpu meant, and he straightened up even more with a serious expression.

Liang Nianpu stood up, facing away from Yu Yanke, facing outside the meditation pavilion.

Outside the meditation pavilion is a small pond.

There are no mountains around Kyoto, and there are flat rivers. The exterior of the East Gate is composed of many small ponds and a variety of plants and trees.

The Meditation Pavilion is located on an old banyan tree.

The old banyan tree was erected in the middle of the small pond, and the trunk was so thick that it took more than ten people to stretch out their arms to enclose it.

And the reason why it is a wonder is that the old banyan tree is so old, and the branches are full of drooping roots, some of which are even thicker than the main trunks of other trees.

The whole pond is actually shrouded in the canopy of the banyan tree.

This tree, according to legend, was transplanted by the great writer in the last days of his life.

"Yu family boy, you see, although this big tree is towering to the sky, it is still under the sky. Liang Nianpu looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said inexplicably.

Yu Yanke didn't know what he wanted to say, so he just responded, but he didn't talk.

"I can protect Xiao Si for a while, but I can't protect her for a lifetime, because there are always people who are stronger than me. And although Xiaosi is entering the country very fast now, she has a huge bottleneck, although she will definitely spend it, but I don't know how long that time will be, and I don't know if I can survive that time. Liang Nianpu said softly.

"Mr. Liang........" Yu Yanke was stunned by the information revealed in his words, and Liang Nianpu waved his hand slightly, indicating that it was okay.

"When you and Xiao Si were still hooking up, I checked you. Your master, that scholar, is a very remarkable man, but he, like me, has never been able to see the Great Dao for many reasons. But after seeing you, I think the shackles on him will disappear, and there should be another free man in the world. ”

Liang Nianpu said, sighing, as if he was sighing for something.

Yu Yanke suppressed his surprise, after all, scholars are a very mysterious existence to him, but listening to what this Mr. Liang said, he seems to be very familiar with scholars.

"Because of your appearance, I can't wait that long, the guy behind you is also a potential power of the empire, he owes you something, so your business is his business, so I can rest assured to do what I want. Liang Nianpu said in a gentle voice.

Yu Yanke heard it in a fog, and really didn't know what this Mr. Liang was going to do.

"Xiaosi handed it over to you, I'm relieved, after all, you kid don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, as for bullying Xiaosi or something, you have to wait for more than ten years, such a long time, with Xiaosi's ability, it's not a big problem to treat you obediently. Liang Nianpu said to himself, his thinking was very jumping.

Yu Yanke heard it full of black lines, and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak casually, if he accidentally offended this Mr. Liang, he estimated that he would be more than lucky.

Liang Nianpu glanced back at him, saw his delicate expression, and immediately smiled, but didn't say anything, just said: "After your autumn hunting, it's time for me to go south, go to see the old people, talk about the old feelings, and ask." ”

"This may be goodbye, I may not return to Yunlang, but I have always been relieved of Xiaosi, and now I am handed over to you, and I am at ease for the time being. ”

Yu Yanke understood what he said, but his face was full of doubts, he didn't know where this person was going, how could he say that he wouldn't come back if he didn't come back, he could really let go of all this?

"Mr. Liang, what are you doing here? Seeing me today, is it just to entrust her to me?" asked Yu Yanke.

"Heh, you kid, you think too highly of yourself. The word trust you can use is inappropriate. At most, I recognized you. I've always heard of your kid's name before, so let's get to know it officially today. Liang Nianpu said with a smile.

"However, what you have to know is that it is not a simple matter to stand side by side with Xiaosi, there are too many things to face. Liang Nianpu said, turned around and patted Yu Yanke on the shoulder.

Yu Yanke nodded.

Liang Nianpu patted him on the shoulder, turned around again, and looked melancholy.

Yu Yanke boldly walked up to him and looked side by side with him at the old banyan tree in the middle of the pond.

"Ten years of people and a hundred years of trees, it is not easy for the fourth child to grow up to now. His Majesty has now seen it, and allowed her to pursue her own path, and no longer let those trivial matters haunt her. It's just that in this way, it also gives some people in the shadows a chance. ”

Liang Nianpu said calmly, Yu Yanke has always just listened, very seriously.

"You don't have anything you want to ask, like who are those reptiles in the dark?" Liang Nianpu saw that he didn't respond, so he asked curiously.

Yu Yanke shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What if you ask? For me now, those people are existences that I can't afford to provoke, it's better not to know than to know, anyway, they will jump out sooner or later." ”

"Hmm....... This is the reason, but there are a few people you must pay attention to. Although Liang Nianpu's face was silent, what he said next made Yu Yanke greatly gain knowledge.

"The eldest prince, although this straw bag that has been hiding himself clumsily is not very capable, there are people behind him. In addition to him, there are also those behind the three princes, and Mo Caihe, who was once on the same level as Xue Dingping. ”

Liang Nianpu said: "This is the person you need to pay attention to at the moment. ”

"Mo Caihe?" Yu Yanke silently read this very unfamiliar name.

"Mo Caihe heard that he was a person from the mountain, and said that he came down the mountain to find a marriage for three lives, and he chose Xiao Si many years ago, but Xiao Si didn't pay attention to him. Liang Nianpu briefly said that Mo Caihe.

When Yu Yanke heard this, he only felt ridiculous.

What is this?

Liang Nianpu seemed to know his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Daomen is the oldest force in heaven and earth, and it has long been beyond things, and their strength is very incomprehensible. If you want to grow up, you must not be able to avoid the door. ”

"Don't underestimate the Daomen, that Mo Caihe can leave the Daomen and go down the mountain, which shows that his status on the mountain is not low. Liang Nianpu said.

"Hmm........" Yu Yanke nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Anyway, you have to know that Xiao Si must not have anything to do with the Daomen, if you let that Mo Caihe succeed, heh, Yun Lang is afraid that it will completely decline. Liang Nianpu put a shocking fact in front of Yu Yanke's eyes.

Yu Yanke's face became more and more serious, and he asked in a dignified voice, "Mr. Liang, why do you say that?"

"You must know that Your Majesty was really trying his best to train Xiao Si as a successor, which also led to the fact that the imperial luck is now almost directly connected to Xiao Si, and Daomen, heh, anyway, there have always been some contradictions between the mountain and the mountain. ”

Liang Nianpu said ambiguously, but Yu Yanke had already guessed something, and vaguely knew what he was trying to express.

"That Mo Caihe is nominally here to find marriage, but in fact, An's thoughts are obvious. Liang Nianpu said that the others did not bring a trace of personal emotion, but when he said Mo Caihe, he brought a strong sense of disgust.

Yu Yanke probably knew why he was like this.

As soon as Yu Yanke came, he heard that this Mr. Liang was also a member of the Taoist sect, and he traveled down the mountain for some reason, and he has never been back since. I guess there was something that made him disappointed in Daomen.

Second, you must know that Yun Xi grew up with this Mr. Liang, and no matter how he is, he has strong emotions in it, so Mo Caihe came to find marriage with such a big grin, which really challenged his nerves.

Thirdly, it is true that Mo Caihe should have an impure purpose, so Mr. Liang, who seems to have a gentle temperament, is disgusted.

"Mo Caihe is actually not a big problem, he can't rob people. The most careful thing to watch out for is some of the guys behind the three princes. Xiao Si has suffered a lot of dumb losses at their hands. Liang Nianpu didn't say anything about Mo Caihe, and began to talk about other people.

"Although Yun Zhen's kid has a good character, those who support him are not so easy to get along with. You can be friends with Yun Zhen, but you can't be brothers, which will only harm Xiaosi. You know what?"

Yu Yanke heard this and nodded.

"When Xiaosi really grows up, you can't touch her, you know?" Liang Nianpu seemed to remember something, and suddenly said sternly.

Yu Yanke was made feverish by his sudden words, and he snorted in response.

Seeing that he agreed, Liang Nianpu laughed and said, "In this way, I will have no worries, so that I can pursue the avenue wholeheartedly." ”

When Yu Yanke heard him say this, he finally had a bad premonition, and he asked softly: "Mr. Liang, can you stay after the autumn hunt?" I'm afraid I won't be able to do what you said. ”

"Gentleman Yinuo, you have to prove that you are qualified to stand by Xiao Si's side. Liang Nianpu gradually lost his smile, was silent for a while, and said softly: "Don't follow my old path, you will only know how to cherish if you lose it." ”

Yu Yanke was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said softly: "A gentleman is a promise, and he lives up to his expectations." ”
