Today is a day of great joy for the people of Yangzhou City, and its extent is no less than Chinese New Year's Eve, not only because of the Dragon Boat Festival, but also because the Duke Xiuyi of the Guangling Royal Mansion is mainly married to Daliao, and the groom official Yelü Xiuqi, the third prince of Daliao, personally led a team to welcome his relatives, so the banquet was in all directions.

The palace is full of lights, the colorful silk is staggered vertically and horizontally, the table of the delicacies and wine shops is a whole street, the big red bronzing happy words are pasted all over Yangzhou City, but no one will tear it off tonight to change money, the king of Guangling is an out-and-out good man in the hearts of the people of Yangzhou City, and almost every house has received his favor.

Qing Xiaonian naturally came, he didn't want to come, but he had to pretend not to know and had to come, there are also the best ten years of daughter red and the best osmanthus dumplings in the world.

Qing Xiaonian picked up the wine and drank a big bowl of wine, glanced at Wan Qiuxuan beside him, and said quietly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to drink this eighty-year-old daughter red in the future." ”

Wan Qiuxuan waved the fan in his hand and said lightly: "Why do you say this?"

Qing Xiaonian looked at the best daughter Hong in front of him and said regretfully: "I won't come again in the Longtan Tiger's Den of Guangling Palace." ”

Wan Qiuxuan picked up a bowl of white water, took a sip, and said lightly: "Does the hundred-year-old daughter drink it?"

Qing Xiaonian's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "Do you have it?"

Wan Qiuxuan nodded.

Qing Xiaonian said again: "Then why didn't you take it out earlier." ”

Wan Qiuxuan smiled, and smiled very calmly: "You haven't asked me, how do I know you want to drink." ”

Qing Xiaonian was speechless, thinking that he would not be able to listen to Yu Xuan if he had to drink a drink to relieve his anger. Then he picked up the fragrant zongzi from the table, peeled off the outer layer of still tender green bamboo leaves, and the golden white rice was revealed, dotted with a candied date, and the faint fragrance of flowers came.

When Qing Xiaonian was just about to take a bite, he inadvertently saw Sui Lao, who was just drinking as if he was doing nothing, and remembered his previous promise, Qing Xiaonian put down the zongzi in his hand and walked towards him.

"Sui Laojiao, is it time to fulfill your promise?"

Hearing Qing Xiaonian's voice, Sui Lao put down the wine, pretended not to know, and said, "What promise?"

Qing Xiaonian knew that he was pretending to be stupid, and he was not angry, he just squinted his eyes and looked at him, and said, "What do you say, when did you become so confused, I wonder if you should open your braincase to see what is wrong." ”

The latter was stared at a little hairy, and immediately stood up and pulled Qing Xiaonian aside, looked around with thief eyebrows, and whispered, "You really want to know?"

Qing Xiaonian nodded.

Sui Lao continued to say, "You're not afraid of death?"

Qing Xiaonian was a little puzzled, seeing Sui Lao's serious expression didn't look like he was joking, but his strong curiosity drove him to nod, Qing Xiaonian was not afraid of death, Qing Xiaonian was afraid of death.

Sui Lao wiped the fine beads on his forehead, leaned over Qing Xiaonian's ear and whispered.

Qing Xiaonian was stunned at first after hearing this, and pointed at Sui Lao with a wry smile, and the two looked at each other for a while, looking up to the sky and smiling.

Until Qing Xiaonian returned to the table, there was still a smile on his face.

Wan Qiuxuan looked at Qing Xiaonian who was full of spring breeze and was a little surprised: "What are you laughing at." ”

Qing Xiaonian put on a treacherous and sinister expression and said, "You want to know?"

Wan Qiuxuan nodded, he also wanted to know what could make Qing Xiaonian feel so funny.

Qing Xiaonian also learned from Sui Lao's picking, and said, "Are you afraid of death?"

Wan Qiuxuan's expression was the same as when Qing Xiaonian was young, and he shook his head suspiciously.

Qing Xiaonian peeled the osmanthus rice dumpling again and handed it to Wan Qiuxuan, "Do you know what kind of zongzi this is?"

Wan Qiuxuan said: "Golden leaf osmanthus dumplings." ”

Qing Xiaonian continued: "Who gave the name. ”

Wan Qiuxuan replied: "The emperor gave it." ”

Qing Xiaonian smiled: "Do you know what this is made of." ”

Wan Qiuxuan replied: "Of course, it is osmanthus and egg yolk." ”

Qing Xiaonian shook his head and whispered, "This is made of acacia flowers!"

Wan Qiuxuan was stunned and exclaimed: "How is this possible, there is obviously a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers." ”

Qing Xiaonian waved his hand and said: "Sui Lao told me that this can still be fake, the only thing related to this zongzi is this bamboo leaf, and the skin of this zongzi is soaked in osmanthus wine." ”

Wan Qiuxuan was even more puzzled, and continued to ask: "Then what are you laughing at, what does this have to do with life or death." ”

Qing Xiaonian said with a smile: "Everyone in the world thinks it's an osmanthus dumpling when they eat it, and they all say it's an osmanthus dumpling when they eat it for the emperor, isn't the crime of bullying the king a capital crime?"

Wan Qiuxuan said: "Since you have committed a capital crime, why do you still laugh." ”

Qing Xiaonian glanced at Wan Qiuxuan with deep meaning, and said, "Isn't it funny to do something that can deceive people in the world, isn't it worth laughing at?"

At this time, King Guangling walked over to Qing Xiaonian with wine, his cheeks were flushed, and he was full of wine.

Qing Xiaonian saw the prince, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he also greeted him with wine.

King Guangling still had a warm smile on his face, and said, "Qing Shaoxia, I have a lot of good wine here, so you can drink it openly." ”

Qing Xiaonian smiled: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

King Guangling suddenly sighed and said, "This time it is really thanks to your help, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Qing Xiaoqing wrote down: "Lord Wang, you are serious, it's a trivial matter, why worry about it." ”

The two talked about it for a while, and the king of Guangling went to entertain the dignitaries and friends from Da Liao, Qing Xiaonian looked at his slightly hunched back with complicated eyes, and found that he could no longer look at this person with the usual eyes before, just from the outside, no one would associate the name "human slaughter" with him, let alone think that the prince who gave help to everyone in front of everyone was the executioner who would slaughter all over the city for no reason in order to embezzle a huge treasure.

Qing Xiaonian only found that Wan Qiuxuan was also staring at King Guangling with the same deep gaze, Qing Xiaonian smiled when he saw this: "What are you thinking." ”

Wan Qiuxuan sighed and said, "I'm thinking about whatever you want." ”

That day, when he revealed the truth in the main hall, he was actually hiding outside the hall, and the conversation inside was naturally clear.

Both of them went to the banquet in white clothes today, and the two suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

......

The banquet was not dispersed until the ugly hour, the guests and nobles had dispersed, and everyone in the Guangling Mansion, including the prince, was also drunk, only three or two messengers were guarding outside the gate, according to custom, the prince of Daliao who came to greet his relatives would take the princess to return to Daliao after lunch during the day, and the two were not allowed to have sex together before that.

Guangling Mansion shows the friendship of the landlord, at this time Yelu Xiu Qi Lingding was drunk and lying on the Runnan wood bed, spread the best silk and satin in Yangzhou City, and slept fragrantly.

Suddenly, a black-clothed man dressed in night clothes and carrying a long knife at his waist sneakily pushed the door in, glanced at the sleeping prince of Da Liao at this time, and just took away a silver spear at his bedside, which had accompanied Yelu Xiuqi on the battlefield for many years.

After the man in black took the silver gun, he exited the door and walked directly to the largest bedroom in the Guangling Palace, the room of the Guangling King.
