A friend is the one who laughs with you and cries with you, and if there are no friends in life, everything will become meaningless.

The summer nights are very quiet and charming, and the stars hanging high in the sky become the guiding lights. In a quiet alley, with the starlight in front of you are tall trees, a breeze caresses, the leaves rustle, making people feel refreshed.

Walking along the entrance of the alley into the alley, the tall trees cover the starlight in the sky, and there is no afterlight, and the silence in the dark night is vividly reflected at this moment.

In the dark night without lights, a figure walked in the quiet street, and in the quiet night, there was a cyan flash at the end of the alley, shrouded over the multi-storey buildings, taking away the unnecessary brilliance of the moon and stars in the middle of the night.

There is Xia Hou Mansion, as the princess Yingjiao walks in the world, the first thing he does is to come to the capital to investigate the high-level of the empire who assassinated the princess that day. In addition to Xia Hou, there should be one other person, and it is a member of the royal family.

The moment he arrived in the capital, he felt that he was infinitely close to his ideals, although he was far away from the Tianshan Mountains now, but he knew that the Tianshan Mountains had a thousand leaves of ice lotus, and as long as the Sanshenghua existed in this world, then it would not be far from him.

Although there are so many though, walking in the quiet lane, Luofan's feet on the road are as elegant as dancing, and the mood is extremely comfortable, no matter what he has to face at the end of the lane, at least he feels very happy from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

The time of pain and suffering is always like a year, and the time of happiness and enjoyment is called the passing of years, when he finally raised his head and looked at the tall mansion.

The gate of Xia Hou Mansion is very tall, much taller than any lintel in this alley, and it stands quietly in the dark night to reveal a sense of tranquility.

The boy who knelt in front of the door during the day is now gone.

There is a restaurant diagonally opposite the lintel of this avenue, which is closed early in the evening.

What Luo Fan didn't know was that the owner of this restaurant was looking at himself coldly in a window on the top floor. I don't know how much background this restaurant has to open in this laneway. I don't know if his night visit to Xia Houfu has affected the purpose of this restaurant.

"This young man wants to do something in Xia Houfu, and he comes uninvited in the middle of the night, I think he is a thief."

"He does what he does, how much does it matter to us, what does he do with us. ”

In the room on the top floor, the middle-aged man in a green shirt walked slowly to the side of the restaurant owner, stood side by side and looked downstairs, looking at the young man standing in front of Xia Houfu, he couldn't help but smile, and his handsome and steady eyebrows suddenly brightened a little.

"If this young man is here to visit Xia Houfu at night, then I don't need to let him stay in this alley. The proprietor's voice was even colder in the night. "It's better to get rid of him, so as not to interfere with our actions and make Xia Hou more vigilant. ”

"Even if this place is cleared by you, you won't be able to drive that young man away. The middle-aged man in the green shirt smiled and said, "What's more, it's not better for him to probe the truth with his front foot." ”

"Can't get away?" The hotel proprietor stared at his eyes quietly, suddenly laughed, and said, "Yes, it is impossible to look away with the eyes of Lao Song, who is a dead grass."

The middle-aged man in the green shirt smiled, didn't answer the words, and turned back to sit back in the chair.

Previously, he had received the words from the fourth elder and knew that the current one in the Great Qin Empire was running out of time, and as a staunch supporter of the three princes, Xia Hou had become a ridge in the heart of the eldest prince. If you don't uproot Xia Hou, how can the eldest prince sit in that seat.

When he came to this restaurant tonight, he saw a quiet walk in the alley, facing the tall and powerful lintel, he was not afraid, and what made him even more incomprehensible was that the young man did not have a trace of the flow of heaven and earth vitality, and he seemed to be extremely sophisticated and measured, in other words, he was very generous and courageous. Calm and calm.

I came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and to this day, I have dominated the underground world of the entire capital, and I have experienced many ups and downs to have today's courage, and he looks young, but he is the same, this is what the old Song admires extremely much.

Looking at the figure standing in front of the lintel, the middle-aged man even wondered if the young man had killed someone. No, it should be suspected that he has killed a lot of people.

A small teenager has killed a lot of people, for him who walks in the night and blood all the year round, it is a difficult fact to believe, for such a young man, to visit Xia Houfu at night, although he has doubts in his heart, he does not make any assessment.

"Old Song, after all, you are doing things on behalf of the eldest prince today, can you respect some of them?"

The middle-aged man raised his head, only to find that he was a little distracted because he was thinking about the young man, and he couldn't help but smile apologetically, and the three words of the eldest prince didn't seem to have the slightest effect on his chic mind.

The man he talked to today was surnamed Wang Fulu, although it was a very cheesy name, but he was definitely not a layman, and it was impossible for a man who could take care of the so-called No. 1 restaurant in the capital to be too vulgar. The vast majority of people in the capital think that the background of this restaurant is a certain high-ranking official in the capital, but only a middle-aged man knows that Wang Fulu is relying on the chief steward of the Great Prince's Mansion, and some people even suspect that this restaurant itself is the property of the Great Prince.

"The eldest prince has had some troubles recently, I really didn't expect you to have time to talk about those things, Brother Wang. ”

Wang Fuyi's face was slightly cold, and he said: "Xia Hou is the real power in the army, he has a word in the army, he wants to support the three princes, the three princes have the greatest possibility, and the assassination legion in his hands is even more chilling......"

Hearing the words Assassination Legion, the middle-aged man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if there was some faint pain there.

Seeing his expression, Wang Fulu changed his words and said with a smile: "Of course, you should know that the eldest prince admires you more, and once mentioned your name after drinking, saying that you have rules and know how to do things in the capital. Otherwise, I wouldn't have traded with you this time."

The middle-aged man was silent, but the dark color between his eyebrows became more and more conspicuous.

Wang Fulu continued to say solemnly: "You also know that the purpose of the establishment of my restaurant is to pay attention to Xia Hou, if that young man startles the snake, this matter will be very troublesome, so I don't allow Sihao to make mistakes, if you have a way to settle this matter of the eldest prince for me, then you." I never interfere again. ”

Although the other party is just a restaurant owner, although he keeps saying that I am me or me, the middle-aged man knows very well that the other party represents the attitude of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and the voice in the palace is transmitted, and after a little hesitation, he smiled and asked: "Even if His Royal Highness wants to ascend to that position, it is too simple, the throne is all passed on, why do we need a character like us to make a move?"

Wang Fulu said with a gloomy face: "Do you really not understand or pretend not to understand?" If it is the former, from now on, I will no longer have you in my eyes as a dead grass old Song person, because you are too stupid." If it's the latter, I won't have you in front of me anymore, because you're too smart but you don't know how to lift. ”

The middle-aged man replied calmly: "This matter is not a matter, it is not a matter for the eldest prince, and it is not a matter for me to be considered a dead grass old Song, if it is really to cut off Xia Hou, I am willing to do it, and I will do it sooner or later, but ...... You shouldn't use that to pressure me and make a deal with me. ”

"The rule of the old Song Dynasty is not to participate in the battle of the court, whether it is His Royal Highness or the military department or the household department, as long as the matter is related to these, I will go as far as I can, and the more you press me, the farther I will go. ”

"You count the dead grass Lao Song is the biggest gang leader in the capital, thousands of people under his command follow you to eat, and the court rewards you with all the work of escorting Caoyun to do, but you say you want to leave? Do you think you can go yourself? Where do you want to go? Where can the three thousand brothers under your command go? The prison of the criminal department or the prisoner of the border army?"

Wang Fulu stared at him with gloomy eyes, and said: "A few years ago, the court was calm and calm, and it may be possible for Mingzhe to protect his body, but now the body is not good, and the fourth princess has also gone to Tianshan Academy, the second prince only wants to practice, and Xia Hou is bent on protecting the third prince as the prince, but he forgets that the queen is on the throne, and the queen also has a son! And it is the eldest prince! Of course, these family affairs have nothing to do with you, but at this time, if you don't show your attitude to be a dog, then ...... No one will tolerate you!"

"To be a dog, do you have to find a master?" The middle-aged man sighed, looked at him and asked, "So you want to subdue me for His Royal Highness the Great Prince?"

"Yes, now the whole capital is crushing you by anyone who is qualified to speak out, why? Because you are a dog without an owner. In this case, if you are willing to take refuge in any family, whether it is the military department or anyone, as long as you have a master, others will want to beat you again, and you will have to look at the face of the person holding your rope. ”

"Can I ask a question?" said the middle-aged man with a sudden smile.

"Please. ”

"Between the eldest prince and the third prince, who will he support?"

Wang Fu said categorically: "Of course, no one will support it, and it will support anyone, whoever can take the throne will support whomever it is, that is an iron-blooded king." ”

The middle-aged man was silent for a long time after hearing this answer, then slowly raised his head and replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, as a Great Qin man, I'm still not used to being a dog." ”

Wang Fulu was stunned, forcibly suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and persuaded hard: "People will always be dogs in this life, and some people can't be dogs if they want to." ”

The middle-aged man stood up, tied the saber around his waist, arched his hand in a dashing manner, and said, "Boss Wang, you are really not a competent lobbyist, because you don't know the character of my dead grass old Song." ”

Wang Fulu's face was a little ugly, and he got up and said in a deep voice: "Are you worried that this decision will not be able to convince the public?" Don't worry, the eldest prince has said that as long as you are willing to bow your head, even if it is a symbolic bow, your business is no longer a problem, and after cutting off Xia Hou, Xia Hou will also be at your disposal?"

At this point in the conversation, he no longer cared about using the big prince and the big steward as the filter, and moved out of His Royal Highness the big prince directly, but the middle-aged man didn't seem to hear it at all, and walked directly out of the door. No one noticed that when Wang Fulu said the words Xia Hou, there was a smile of incomprehensibility between his eyebrows.

"Old Song, you stop for me. Wang Fulu stared at the back of his head with compassion, "It seems that you and your brother have been in the capital for many years, and you have long forgotten how to write the word awe, but I must remind you that these nobles are real nobles, and that is not a world that you can understand as a cockroach crawling in the □□□ ditch." ”

The middle-aged man slowly stopped, but did not look back.
