The imperial capital is very large, and the old man goes straight all the way, crosses the Jinshui Bridge, and enters the three gates, which is not big.

The old man walks very slowly, even slower than the average old man walks.

Some injuries always have to be experienced slowly.

But that's all there is to it, and sooner or later it will come to an end, even if the old man is slow enough.

At the end was the Xuanzheng Palace, a familiar but unfamiliar place for the old man, after all, he hadn't taken a good look at this temple for nearly forty years.

In front of the hall sat an old monk, dressed in black, with triangular eyes, and a hideous appearance, like an aging and sick tiger, but his expression was indifferent.

The monk stood up, looked at the old man, and bowed deeply, "Loyal and brave marquis." ”

The old man slowly walked up to the monk, touched the monk's head, and smiled.

The monk made another gesture, "Mr. Qi." ”

The old man took a step back, still smiling, "I know that it must be you who came out to stop me." ”

The monk sighed, "I thought the gentleman wouldn't come." ”

The old man smiled and said, "I thought I wouldn't come again." ”

The monk smiled bitterly, "Back then, I was still a scholar behind Mr. Qi, learning chess with Mr. ”

The old man said indifferently, "Chess is a way, but also about creation, until the moment when the winner or loser is revealed, no one will know whether there will be an accident." ”

The monk's smile was even more bitter, "Back then, if it weren't for Mr. who gave up his pen and followed Rong and introduced me to the court, how could I have my status today, and I lived up to Mr.'s entrustment......"

"That was back then, celery wine. The old man interrupted.

The monk was shocked, "The gentleman doesn't recognize me after all." ”

"It's all back then, how can anyone recognize it or not. The old man sighed softly, "The old man just wants to take away Yuan'er's tablet, so that she has been wronged all these years, she shouldn't be there." ”

The monk shook his head, "Back then, everything was a foregone conclusion, and since Mr. was already in hiding, why should he care about these things. ”

"That's your final decision. The old man sneered and curled the corners of his mouth, "It's not the old man's." ”

There were several popping noises in the air.

The monk fell to his knees and spat out blood, "Thank you, sir, for your mercy." ”

The old man wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, bypassed the monks, and slowly walked towards the Xuanzheng Palace.

The autumn wind was slightly cold, and the old man's body trembled slightly.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, the silence was a little cold.

Ye Xiyan sat alone on the high steps.

He didn't touch the dragon chair, because he knew what the dragon chair was for, and he sat shamelessly in front of the old man.

"I thought that the Marquis of Zhongyong would be able to speak. He said with some regret.

The old man also thought about it. The old man did not salute, but stood there quietly, "but the old man understood something. ”

Ye Xiyan didn't ask.

The old man continued, "With the power of the emperor at that time, even if you are the crown prince, it is impossible for you to have the ability to quell the turmoil in the imperial capital so neatly. ”

Ye Heehiko did not answer.

The old man didn't wait for him to answer, and said, "Back then, although the old man was stationed at the border pass, his reputation on the rivers and lakes was very great, and at that time, the old man offended a person. ”

He suddenly laughed, "He said that as a price, he had to break the old man's knife, but the old man didn't care, but it turned out to make him right." ”

Ye Xiyan stood up, "Who told the Marquis of Zhongyong?"

The old man didn't answer, "The old man didn't think that the old man would be such a loyal person, but it opened the old man's eyes, but the old man was uneasy." ”

The old man took a step forward.

There was a slight sound of wind all around.

Ye Xiyan waved his hand.

The wind stopped.

He frowned and said, "What does the Marquis of Zhongyong want?"

"The Emperor knows. The old man's eyes narrowed slightly.

"No way. Ye Xiyan said resolutely.

"The old man washed the imperial capital in blood, and the old man recognized it, but Yuan'er shouldn't be there. The old man took another step forward, "Why did she die, the emperor knows it." ”

Ye Xiyan said lightly, "Back then, the new queen colluded with her father to rebel, and then she knew that she had made a big mistake and apologized for her crimes, which is known to the world. ”

"Apologize for your sins?" the old man laughed wildly, "If you apologize for your sins, then the old man will make a good fuss in this valley imperial capital today, and see if the old man will also apologize for his sins." ”

In an instant, a circle of strong qi machines swept away with the old man's gray clothes as the center.

The wind was rushing all around.

"Stand down. Ye Xiyan suddenly shouted.

The wind froze slightly.

"Stand down!" Ye Xiyan shouted again.

The wind stopped.

Ye Xiyan said expressionlessly, "If the Marquis of Zhongyong wants to kill the orphan today, he will suffer alone." ”

The old man was shocked.

Dozens of criss-crossing ravines appeared on the ground in an instant, and there was a muffled bang in the palace.

It has not been unsheathed for seventeen years, and the sword intent of this sheath suddenly collapsed just because of this ordinary sentence.

The old man looked at the tall man with a complicated expression.

"At the beginning, it was Lone's fault, but Lone regretted it, impossible. The man looked down at the cracks in the ravines, which was shocking, and when it spread in front of him, he seemed to be blocked by something invisible, and he stopped abruptly and said lightly.

The old man opened his mouth and spat out blood violently, instantly becoming a few points old.

He looked up to the sky and laughed, like a madman, and turned away.

In the end, he kept his loyalty. Ye Xiyan hooked the corners of his mouth, turned around and sat on the high dragon chair, "How is Huan'er doing over there?"

"Your Highness does not want to come back. A voice came from the shadows.

Ye Xiyan smiled, "It's okay, he'll be back." ”

......

The folk customs in Shu are fierce, and Xiao Feng and the three of them opened their eyes as soon as they entered Shu.

There was a big insect at the door of the inn, I heard that it was a few days ago that I went down the mountain to forage for food and was heard, and I found it this evening, and I was dragged down the mountain overnight, which was going to be skinned tomorrow morning and sent to the government for a reward.

The shopkeeper warmly beckoned the three of them to take their seats, "The guest officer looks like a foreigner, but he can get out of Shuchuan, and he can be regarded as a hero, how many catties of burning knives to warm up?"

Yu Yi glanced at him lightly, "Three signature dishes, and some staple food, no wine." ”

The shopkeeper choked for a moment and didn't react for a while.

Shuzhou walks the rivers and lakes, the amount of alcohol and stomach is not large, and they dare not say that they are in the rivers and lakes, looking at this middle-aged man is also a good man, how can he be so petty.

As for the two children beside Yu Yi, the shopkeeper directly ignored them.

Who let this be Shuzhong?

Xiao Feng didn't see it, and played with the rolling flops.

Jian Xuanyun looked at the big and small ones with expressionless faces.

Yu Yi saw that the shopkeeper didn't respond, so he repeated it again.

The shopkeeper muttered a string of local vernacular, and was a little depressed and shook the towel and left.

Xiao Feng and the three of them didn't understand, but the people around them burst into laughter.

The three of them glanced at each other, knowing that it was not a good word, but they didn't care.
