Bianliang, Yuzhou.

The capital was as prosperous as ever, and the streets were patrolled by guards and servants in new uniforms, and the old city was newly built and flourished. However, prosperity and tranquility began to change after passing through the two gates, and the Guozijian and the Jingshi Mansion passed through the people, and from time to time there were flying pigeons to spread messages to various places.

The land of the imperial palace has also been heavily guarded to protect the safety of the emperor and harem concubines. As for the prince who has been moved to the Guozijian, there are three great Confucian priests who discipline him every day, and three shifts are down. It's really for the safety of the royal family.

"Brother Zhuang, you just came from Jinling, I don't know what the situation in Jiangnan is?"

Zhuang You stroked his goatee and smiled, "It's quite stable, but there seems to be some movement in the Xuanjia over there in Jingzhou, and I don't know the specific situation of the eyeliner being pinched." ”

Xun Yong saw Zhuang You's disapproving expression and was a little displeased, "Brother, when is it now, you can still laugh." ”

Zhuang You raised his eyebrows and said, "The righteousness is in me, the time is in me, the location is in me, and the people are also in me." Brother Xun, the three princes, have been doing it for too long, and the qi cultivation kung fu has been wasted. ”

"Hmph~ When the Xuanjia army presses the border and besieges Jinling, I see if you are in a hurry!" Xun Yong flicked his sleeves and said, familiar with the history of the art of war, countless cases of defeating the strong with the weak and fighting more with less at this moment are completely useless, the east and north sides of Yuzhou are surrounded by the Xuanjia soldiers, and the land of Jingchu in the south is smashed into a nail by the Xuanjia, and the two soldiers are firmly nailed outside the Jiangcheng, cutting off the way of Confucianism's retreat to the south.

A look of disappointment flashed in Zhuang You's eyes, this old friend's mentality has begun to distort since he became the third prince, and now he is no longer the classmate and friend who played a role in reprimanding Fang Yu at the beginning.

Jin Ling 12 ways, every day horseshoe disease.

If it weren't for the twelve consecutive golden orders that won over Zhou Bai, Zhuang You would not have rushed from Jinling, and now seeing Xun Yong's bloodshot eyes, he could only sigh secretly, the battle for power is the most harmful.

.......

Hongyu went out early in the morning to go to Zhongnan, and Zhou Bai, who had nothing to do, had to practice writing and practicing calligraphy in the store, and as time went by, he found that the memories of his previous life had begun to be a little blurry, including the poems and songs he had read before, so he copied out the poems he remembered in his spare time, so as to nourish his qi and cultivate himself.

Meng Rong came to visit and sent an invitation letter and was rejected by him bluntly, he did not care about the many people of the family, so it made no difference to him if he rejected Confucianism, I am too lazy to pay attention to you, and you don't come to mess with me.

However, the continuous co-optation of Confucianism in recent days has aroused a trace of curiosity, and the situation of heaven and earth is in order, and his trip to the north has completely destroyed the fragile balance between various forces.

The news of the destruction of Qingyang Pass by the alien army has begun to spread outward, and Xiahou's prestige is like the sky, sweeping away the Liuhe Eight Desolations and making immortal achievements. However, he was not ready to return to the court and accept the reward, and the Confucianism did not let him lead the army back to the division and open the door to greet him.

Zhou Bai asked Shen Juan to learn an interesting story from the north:

"Xiahou's foreign treasures and a large amount of money and grain offered to the emperor were captured by robbers from all over the country, and more than 30 people were seriously injured in escorting Xuanjiawei. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Ju's expression seemed to be smiling, Gu Xizhi's face was full of bitterness, recalling the poems in Zhou Bai's chat, Gu Xizhi muttered, "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering." I'm afraid that the real troubled times are about to begin. ”。

Looking at the noisy bazaar on the street, Zhou Bai sighed, "Didn't we already know this kind of result?" Since Cihang Pudu eroded the national fortunes of the Great Liang Dynasty and devoured the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty has already entered the catastrophe of humane change.

"Today, Tai Academy invited me to attend the Meng Sheng Festival, and I bluntly refused. Zhou Bai said casually.

Gu Xizhi smiled bitterly, "It's cause and effect, but there is still human affection." It's really not as easy as a good brother for a brother. ”

Shen Juan touched his chin and said, "The situation in Confucianism hasn't reached such a predicament, has it? Why are you in such a hurry to win you over?" ”

Zhou Bai chuckled and said, "The literary style in Jiangnan is prosperous, and the foundation of Tai Academy is rooted in Jiangnan, if things change, they can return to Jinling, as bystanders, of course they are not in a hurry." But the Guozijian on the Jingshi side is different, and now it is embattled, and the Xuanjia Army is ready to move. The two consecutive co-optations should be from the hands of this Jingshi Guozijian. ”

As he spoke, a flash of red flashed, and Hongyu appeared in front of Zhou Bai with a wooden box, "Zhou Bai, have you taken the ginseng soup you boiled in the morning?"

Zhou Bai recalled the bitter and astringent smell of grass, only to feel discomfort in his throat, and said with a wry smile: "Take it." As soon as the words fell, Shen Ju Gu Xizhi Hongyu and the three of them hurriedly gathered in front of Zhou Bai and looked carefully.

Zhou Bai hurriedly retreated, "What are you doing?"

Shen Ju looked at each other and shook his head, Hongyu's eyes darkened, and then he regained his clarity, and handed the wooden box in his hand to Zhou Baidao, "This is the Earth Dragon Yuan I found by the way, you can take it for the time being." ”

The wooden box alone is surrounded by aura, and its upper patterns are engraved with extraordinary things, Shen Juan secretly sighed to himself, this wooden box alone is already a great treasure, I don't know what kind of treasure the earth dragon yuan is inside.

He can also be regarded as a Taoist thousands of years ago, but he has never heard of the name of Earth Dragon Yuan.

Zhou Bai sighed in his heart, but he couldn't bear to refuse, the moment the wooden box was opened, a red light instantly shot into Zhou Bai's eyebrows and disappeared, Zhou Bai was shocked in vain, but found that the box was empty.

Before Shen Juan could react, he felt that a supreme sword intent directly locked the divine soul, and although Hongyu had not glanced at him, she had solemnly expressed her attitude.

Dare to speak, die!

Of course, these Zhou Bai didn't notice it, and even the red light just now had been forgotten, and he looked at the wooden box over and over again and wondered, "Is the box empty?"

Hongyu retrieved the wooden box from Zhou Bai's hand and said calmly, "Oh, maybe I'm mistaken. ”

Now that the two of them have their own mansions, they don't need to borrow the Gu Mansion, the two of them returned hand in hand, and the figure disappeared into the dusk sunset, the smile on Gu Xizhi's face gradually put away, and he looked at Shen Juan with a serious expression, "What's in that box?"

Shen Juan shook his head and sighed, "I can't say it, if I say it, I'm afraid that my life will be in danger." ”

The danger of his life? Gu Xizhi sighed and turned to leave.

......

"Father. Meng Rong, who was returning home at night, was caught by his father, who had been waiting for him in the courtyard for a long time.

"Visiting Zhou Bai, but it's for the sake of the ancestors' sacrifice?" Father Meng's eyebrows and square face were condensed, and there was a tendency not to be angry and arrogant.

Meng Rong leaned over and said yes.

Father Meng was silent for a long time, and sighed, "At the end of the year, your marriage with Xiaomai will be put on hold for the time being. ”

Meng Rong raised his head suddenly, and looked at his father in disbelief, "Why ......?"

Father Meng said in a deep voice, "In addition, tomorrow when I go to Tai Academy to quit my studies and return home, I have already found a place for you to train for your education." ”

Meng Rong secretly felt bad in his heart, and asked with some hesitation, "Where?"

"The Xuanjia General's Mansion in Northern Xinjiang. ”
