Because of the emperor's sentence of "the marquis at home", I spent the most leisurely and comfortable time since the Han Dynasty.

My return made Xiao Liuguan happy, Zhao Min hugged me and cried, the drama only knew how to giggle with his big mouth open, Xiao Huo put down his dignity as a "manly little husband" for the first time, and became a "koala" holding me up. Under the surprise of my disciples, they were all drunk that night, and none of them got up to the next day. This went on for three days, and finally I had to put on the majesty of the teacher, and then I was able to restore normal order in the hall.

Fu Yong temporarily lives in the backyard of Xiao Liuguan, I know he likes to be quiet, and I plan to let him move there after the new house is renovated.

went to visit Guo Jie, but he was never in Chang'an, and it was secretly rumored in the rivers and lakes that he had killed someone somewhere and went out to avoid the limelight.

Everything seems to be calm.

I found time to meet Wei Qing by the Bahe River, and I knew from him that I was not the only one who was assassinated that day, and I pushed Wei Qing before the arrow fell to the ground, which saved his life and caused the arrow shot at him to miss unexpectedly.

The assassin was very shrewd, and he flashed when he missed a move, and at that time, Wei Qing was looking after me, and he couldn't chase after me at all. Seeing that the blood flow in my heart from the arrow was like an infusion, and when Wei Qing was anxious and angry and was about to take me to the doctor, Fu Yong happened to pass by.

Fu Yong threatened my life and did not allow Wei Qing to follow, but Wei Qing had no choice but to return to the palace to report to the emperor first, the emperor's reaction was very intense, what kind of drastic method, Wei Qing did not say. I am only 120,000 glad that I survived.

Then Wei Qing asked me with a solemn face: "Liu Dan, although you and I have been friends for a short time, in my heart, I have long regarded you as a good friend, there is a sentence, I wanted to ask you, can you answer honestly?"

I knew what he wanted to ask, and said with a faint smile, "Okay." ”

"If Your Majesty summons you into the harem, will you agree?" Wei Qing's expression was depressed, especially when he said the word "harem", it was even more embarrassing, and the brother-in-law always seemed to be a little unspeakable when he came to talk about his brother-in-law's "affair", especially coupled with the relationship between the monarch and the minister, it seemed to be even more difficult to speak.

"Zhongqing, you hear me clearly. I stared into his eyes, solemnly. "At most, I will be his courtier, I will never be his woman, and I will never change now, in the future. ”

Wei Qing looked at me with an indescribable respect in his eyes.

I smiled and said, "Don't be grateful to me, I'm not doing this for your sister, it's for myself." ”

Wei Qing looked at me, the corners of his mouth pouted with deep helplessness.

I can understand his feelings, there are too many capable people in this world, if there is no Wei Zifu, even if Wei Qing is a genius, he will not have a chance to show his talents.

The question of "encountering" and "not encountering" has always been a pain in the hearts of ancient scholars. Lucky like Jiang Ziya, he didn't meet King Wen until he was eighty years old, if he was a few years later, he was afraid that he would be buried in a pile of bones and a lonely life. As for those who have the ability but "never meet", and then there are those who can "meet" but "meet" at the wrong time, I don't know how much has been buried throughout the ages.

And the Han Dynasty's heaviest bloodline, a glory, a loss, this is an indisputable convention, now Wei Zifu has to be "lucky", Wei Qing has to "meet", Wei family has to be "honored", although Emperor Wu himself admires Wei Qing, as a confidant, but if the son loses "luck", then Wei Qing's "encounter" and the Wei family's "glory" will disappear in an instant, this is the sorrow of being a relative.

So as a member of the Wei family, Wei Qing naturally didn't want me to be "favored" by the emperor, but as a courtier, he had to tolerate the emperor's lust, after all, this kind of "lust" was recognized by the people of the world and connived at by the absurd harem system. And as my friend, he probably doesn't want me to go into that filthy, filthy, cannibalistic place that doesn't spit out bones.

I patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and said: "Don't worry, the so-called natural talent will be useful, even if I don't rely on others, Zhong Qing will be able to 'chase the green clouds' and ride the wind one day." ’”

However, if you have to "meet" and "aspire", you will definitely be happy?

Seeing that I was serious, Wei Qing smiled and said, "Such a Sven word came out of your mouth, which is indecent. ”

The price of sarcasm is a punch from me.

"Alright. I said, "Tell me about the Assassins." Is it Luo Ying's remnant?" "Apart from them, I can't think of anyone else who will deal with me and Wei Qing at the same time.

When it came to the assassin, Wei Qing's face became very strange, with sadness, helplessness, and even resentment. After a while, he said sullenly: "I can only tell you one thing: the people who want to kill us are the two most powerful women in the Han Dynasty. ”

This answer was unexpected!

Who will be the most powerful woman in the Han Dynasty?

I looked down and counted......

The first to bear the brunt is Queen Chen Ajiao, and the other is her mother, Princess Guantao. A few years ago, when Wei Zifu was first lucky, they had done a private assassination of Wei Qing because of jealousy, but fortunately they were rescued by Wei Qing's friend Qilang Gongsun Ao.

But why did they even kill me?

Could it be that he is in love with Wei Qing? or......

I was shocked, could it be that they had already recognized my identity as a woman, and they were afraid that after exposing it in public, they would find a "new favorite" for the emperor, so they wanted to kill me in order to avoid "red face and trouble"?

It's possible!

"What did the emperor say?" I asked Wei Qing.

Wei Qing sighed: "Although I know the truth, I have nothing to do." ”

This is a big trouble, there are two more such powerful opponents for no reason, and the emperor can't openly defend it, so he will really have to ask for more blessings in the future.

and Liu Che, looking at his nervous appearance towards me, he should really like me, but as soon as his "sincerity" met the iron wall of "politics", he hit the ground with chicken feathers. Alas, the emperor's "sincerity" was nothing more than that, despising him from the bottom of his heart.

But it shouldn't be, the Empress Dowager Dou is gone, and now it is Liu Che who covers the sky with one hand, with his temper, how can he allow their mother and daughter to be so presumptuous? "Although I know the truth, I have nothing to do", these eight words can't be used on the queen's mother and daughter anyway.

A woman who is so powerful that she can make the emperor feel helpless......

My heart gradually gave birth to a chill, there is only one such woman in the world, and that is the emperor's mother, the queen mother!!

This is an era of "filial piety first", only in front of his mother, the emperor who climbs the mountain and walks through the fog will be "helpless".

Two of the most powerful women, the Queen Mother and the Empress!

But as far as I know, although in order for her son to ascend the throne, Wang Meiren, who had not yet become the queen mother, took the initiative to marry Princess Guantao Liu Yan, but everything was just a matter of interests, and she was not satisfied with Chen Ajiao's arrogant daughter-in-law, so what was the reason for these two people to unite against me and Wei Qing?

Wei Qing didn't say anything, but told me to be careful.

From this day on, I began to live in a simple house, in addition to practicing with my disciples every day, that is, to supervise the work in the new residence, anyway, my emperor's sentence "Home Marquis", you don't need to enter the palace to see Jin, it's really happy to be idle.

When I came back this time, Xiao Huo completely became my follower, and I couldn't get rid of it wherever I went, but because of this, the relationship between our master and apprentice has deepened day by day. In fact, subconsciously, I thought of him as Xiao Jian from childhood, the two of them were so similar that they would overlap unconsciously.

Sometimes I secretly rejoice, fortunately Huo Shao is still young, otherwise a careless empathy ferments, and he will fall in love with him. It's nice that I don't have a fetish for a child lover!!

In late autumn, me, Zhao Min, Fu Yong, and two servants moved into a new house.

The two largest parts of the project are the kitchen, the bathroom and the three toilets, and these are the cleanest. The floor and walls are covered with white marble, and when the craftsmen built the white marble on the wall according to my design, they were all amazed by my luxury. Even Zhao Min and Fu Yong were dumbfounded by such luxury. Hey, how do they know my pain, there is no counter, no bubble bath, no flush toilet, if the environment is not clean and tidy, how will I live in the future?

I'm a thief, stealing things, fighting, shooting, and martial arts, but I haven't studied anything like architecture and civil engineering, so I'm destined to have no bathtubs and flush toilets available, so I have to make a big pool in the bathroom, and the water is okay, and the water is all artificial. Make a few good wooden toilets and put them in a nice and clean toilet, which is cleaned by servants all the time anyway, and finally barely get by.

In the kitchen, in addition to the modern decoration, the stove and fuel are all taken from ancient times, so the combination of ancient and modern also complements each other.

My bedroom is very large and beautiful, full of portraits of Xiao Jian, and I always carry one on my body, and I get up every morning and go to bed at night, and talk to him for a while, which gradually forms a habit.

Because I have a home, although it is not an ideal home, I have a wandering heart, and I have slowly settled down, although the heart of going home is not dead, I am not as anxious as before.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year arrived, the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (134 BC).

Because it is the New Year's Festival, the night ban has been temporarily lifted, so that Chang'an at night has never been so lively and prosperous.

The apprentices all went on vacation to reunite with their families, and the huge Xiao Liu Pavilion was deserted. Zhao Min and a few servants also went back to their respective homes, only me and Fu Yong were left in the new house, Fu Yong was still studying his medicine every day, otherwise he was studying me, and sometimes he couldn't say two words a day to him, but fortunately, Xiao Huo's little ghost head has been sticking to me very much recently, so that he will not be lonely to death.

On the Shangyuan Festival, it is said that there will be a large lantern display in the city at night.

At dusk, Xiao Huo came to me dressed beautifully and brought me a gift -- a beautiful milky white robe.

"This is my mother's own hand. My mother said that the master must wear it like a jade tree. Xiao Huo's rare smile is like sunshine, and my eyes light up.

He stepped forward and rubbed his neat bun and said, "Boy, that's right, smile a lot, laugh often, with eyes like stars and faces like the sun, so that you can look like an eight-year-old child." ”

Little Huo pulled my hand away unhappily, and muttered dissatisfiedly, boy, probably blame me for messing with his hair.

Wei Shao'er's female worker is really not covered, and as soon as she puts on her clothes, she looks like a turbid son, outstanding but not outstanding. was admiring himself in front of the bronze mirror, and suddenly a sharp voice shouted: "Under the holy decree, Liu Dan in the service will accept the decree." ”

It took me a moment before I realized what had happened.

It has been three full months since the Pili Valley, and this is the first time that the emperor has issued an edict to me, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

went out to kneel to receive the holy decree, and it was the inner servant Lu Guang who passed the decree: "Liu Dan was ordered to Min Yue, and he was meritorious to beg the thief, and he gave the fox a piece of attack!"

I took the snow-white fox attack big hat, and I was confused, if I want to say that the reward should have been rewarded three months ago, and it was more than that. What the hell is the emperor doing?

I asked Lu Guang tentatively, "Your Majesty, is he okay?" ”

Lu Guangyin glanced at me and said, "Yo, it's rare that Lord Liu still knows that he is worried about His Majesty, and he thinks that you have forgotten about His Majesty." ”

I immediately said respectfully: "As a courtier, how can you forget your own monarch? ”

"Hey, Lord Liu understands the rules now. Lu Guang glared at me sarcastically.

This Lu Guang is evil on the surface, but he actually has good intentions towards me, which I can feel. I approached him with a flattering smile and asked, "Grandpa Lu, Your Majesty sent a fox attack, does it mean that he is no longer angry?"

Lu Guang's nostrils snorted and said, "If you are not angry, you will know after a while." He shook his head and staggered away.

Cut! The whole dog fights the human power.

Xiao Huo touched the snow-white and soft fur of the fox attack and said: "Master, I have seen this fox attack, it is a gift from the eldest princess of Nangong from the Huns to Your Majesty, I heard that it is a very valuable snow fox skin, and Your Majesty also likes it very much." ”

The eldest princess of Nangong is the daughter of Emperor Jing and the sister of Emperor Wu, at the age of thirteen, in order to quell the invasion of the Xiongnu and marry her relatives, she married the military minister Shan Yu, I heard that Emperor Wu had the best relationship with this sister, and I didn't expect that today I would send this fox attack that was sent thousands of miles away and represented the precious heart to me, Liu Che, you can also look down on me too much.

I sighed in distress, and Xiao Huo looked at me inexplicably: "Master, doesn't you like this fox attack?"

I habitually raised my hand to rub his hair and said, "It's not that I don't like it, it's that I don't dare to like it." ”

Xiao Huo's hair was messed up by me again, and in desperation, he simply stopped straightening it.

"Okay, let's go out. "I'll just put on a fox attack, fasten the belt, and don't care what kind of love and hatred it is, I'll talk about it when I've had enough tonight.

As soon as I stepped out of my room, there was one standing in front of me, it was Fu Yong, and I saw him dressed neatly. I asked curiously, "Mr. Fu, you want to go out?"

Fu Yong was always calm and elegant, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Where to go?" I haven't heard that he has friends or relatives in Chang'an.

Fu Yong's smile was as warm as a spring breeze in this cold winter, and he said, "Go with you to see the lights." ”

He actually has this Yaxing, this childlike heart?

Gotcha, add one to the team.

Walking out with Xiao Huo, just out of the courtyard gate, bumped into four big men wearing black cotton robes, I was startled, before I could react, the four people flashed left and right, flashed out a main master, wearing a black leather coat, tall, face like a crown of jade, heroic, it was Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

I let out a "bang", shocked, how could he be here?

Xiao Huo beside him had already knelt down: "See His Majesty the Emperor." ”

I woke up from a dream and quickly knelt down, but was helped up by the emperor: "Today's Shangyuan Festival, I will go out of the palace to have fun with all the people, so you don't have to be formal." ”

I got up and pouted in my heart, what is rejoicing with all the people, it is clearly a fake public and private, and there is no other plan. On that day, I clearly and clearly rejected him, and the dignified Son of Heaven should know the difficulties and retreat to maintain his majesty and demeanor, it would be too boring to entangle him like this.

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile covering the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and said, "Chang'an is very lively tonight, so you can accompany me to the Lantern Festival." ”

Yes, they were added to the ranks...... Five, getting bigger and bigger. The two main streets of Chang'an City, east and west, are a sea of lights tonight!

The lamps made by skilled craftsmen are in a variety of shapes, beautiful, including fish and dragon lanterns, lotus lanterns, golden bell lanterns, horse lanterns, painted dragon lanterns, white horse lanterns, dragon boat lanterns...... Resplendent and colorful. It is the torch that is like a thousand trees, and the lamp is like a hundred flowers. The winter in Chang'an is very cold, but it does not hinder the enthusiasm of the people to come out to play during this festival. There was no entertainment in ancient society, so every time there was such a grand event, there would be a sea of people, one after another, whether it was the common people or the dignitaries, not the scholars or the down-and-out scholars, but also those who were beautiful, the small jasper, everyone rushed out to step on the moon to watch the lanterns, and enjoy the lanterns and guess the riddles. Those merchants and hawkers are all over the streets, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Our group meandered through the crowd, two forbidden soldiers in front, two behind, I bought two lamps with Xiao Huo, a carp lamp, a plum blossom lamp, two people each have a lamp, happy to look around, poor Fu Yong had to accompany the emperor, watching the two of us have a lot of fun.

A high platform was set up in front, and all kinds of lanterns flashed on the stage, and the audience was crowded with people. A lantern riddle is held here. Not far away, there is a similar high platform, but it is a poetry and literature society, which is also overcrowded.

I deliberately avoided the emperor, so I pulled Xiao Huo into the front of the lantern riddle venue first. According to the rules of the lantern riddle club, whoever guesses the riddle on which lamp belongs to whoever owns it. Now the master of ceremonies is holding a colorful lantern with bright colors and exquisite workmanship, and some words are carried on the lampshade, and the master of ceremonies said loudly: "The riddle on this lamp is a guessing riddle, if anyone guesses the riddle first, this lamp will belong to whom." The riddle is that they can walk without legs, they can eat without a mouth, they can cross rivers without water, and they have no ghosts when they die. ”

The mystery of who came up with this is also very simple.

Sure enough, including Xiao Huo beside me, several voices immediately shouted one after another from the audience: "Chess!"

The master of ceremonies on the stage opened his mouth wide, looked left and right at a loss, and didn't know who to give the lamp to, and saw the little Xiao Huo at a glance, his eyes lit up and said: "Everyone, this little boy is young but smart, and he can guess the answer to the riddle like an adult, so give this lamp to this little boy, do you think it's good?"

Adults naturally don't fight with a child, so Xiao Huo Xi diligently came to the stage and took the lantern handed over by the master of ceremonies.

Seeing such a beautiful and lovely child, the adults in the audience applauded and gave each other one after another. The one who clapped the loudest was me.

"It's so cute to get sick. "Naturally, it was Xiao Huo's third aunt who spoke.

"yes, yes. I nodded repeatedly.

"If you cultivate with your heart, you will definitely do something in the future. He said again.

"yes, yes. I smiled and nodded.

"The lanterns tonight are beautiful. He said again.

"yes, yes. I smiled vigorously and nodded.

"You too. He continued.

"yes, yes. I responded mechanically, "Huh?" Raised my hand and touched my smiling face, what does that mean?

His puzzled gaze moved over, and he met the emperor's smiling eyes.

I'm sneering, don't turn my face to look at Xiao Huo who is walking down from the stage.

The Emperor suddenly brought his mouth to my ear and said, "I mean you are beautiful tonight." ”

On a cold day, the hot air coming out of his mouth blew on my ears and cheeks, numb and itchy, I hurriedly turned to one side, my heart "dongdong" jumped, and whispered: "It is the fox attack that Your Majesty has given me beautiful." ”

Tonight's emperor seems to be different from before, and he speaks and acts with a kind of determination!

He didn't mind my dodge, he raised his hand to touch the white fur of the fox attack, and said in a low voice, "Do you know why I gave you this fox attack?"

My brain suddenly became clever, and I said briskly: "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son, and Wang Yuxing is a teacher, cultivate my spear, and have the same hatred with your son." Your Majesty wants to hint to me that you are ready to deal with the Huns. ”

Of course, the emperor didn't mean this, so his face sank, and he was about to say something, but my disciple Xiao Huo arrived in time to rescue him, and I just took the opportunity to avoid him, went up to hug Xiao Huo, rubbed his head and said, "Stinky boy, behave well!"

Leaving the lantern riddle venue, Xiao Huo and I were still running around the streets, but I was more and more troubled in my heart, I was afraid that if this emperor really competed with me, I didn't know how to live in the future.

I cursed him in my heart. Super Dog Skin Plaster!And it's a big, powerful, and expensive Super Dog Skin Plaster!!

The worst thing is that it is difficult to get rid of it when it is pasted.

No, no, no, if it goes on like this, something big will happen, the reason why I have been with the emperor all the time is that I want to use him to find Hetian Yu for me, and now Hetian Yu is still missing, but I don't want to put myself in. The stupid thing of losing his wife and breaking his army, I, Liu Dan, said that I would not do anything.

We must think of a way to solve this matter once and for all.

Xiao Huo and I ran in front with lanterns, and when we were tired of running, we bought two pieces of osmanthus cake and sat on the side of the road to eat.

The four forbidden soldiers hugged the emperor, Fu Yong accompanied him, and a group of six people slowly walked towards me and Xiao Huo......

That's when the accident happened!!
