Chapter 124: The First Rain in Yuhang (Part II)

"Who?" The four Broken Army soldiers in the main entrance of the main hall blocked the way of the Shadow Wind Guard, only to see that the Shadow Wind Guard's right hand slightly opened the thin seam of the brocade robe to reveal the shadow token, and the right hand of a Broken Army soldier in the front of the robe agitated between the brocade sleeves of the robe, and a gust of wind hit the Shadow Wind Guard, and the strong wind made him not notice it at all.

In less than a moment, the Broken Army soldier hurriedly and respectfully retreated, and the rest of the Broken Army soldiers behind him also gave way. Shadow Wind Guard walked into the inner hall with a bamboo tube in his left hand, and several soldiers of the Broken Army kept staring at the back of the Shadow Wind Guard until they disappeared behind the screen in the inner hall, and the four soldiers present knew very well in their hearts that they were responsible for the safety of the Duke of Dingguo, and everyone who wanted to enter the palace must be subject to a personal inspection, so as not to have assassins from entering, but Shadow Wind Guard was under the order of the crown prince, and everyone did not dare to offend easily, so they had to attack their bodies with internal strength, and observe their bodies to see if the person who came was hiding a sharp blade and hidden weapon.

"The emperor's edict ordered the Guogong to enter the capital as soon as possible. Shadow Wind Guard held the bamboo tube in both hands, lowered his head, and stood respectfully in the main hall, not daring to say a word. He knew very well who the palace was, and before he came to Yuhang, the commander of the Shadow Wind Guard explained clearly, only to convey the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, and not to say a word.

"Is it the prince's decree?or the emperor's edict?" A weak general standing behind the wooden case on the right side of the main hall put down the book in his hand, slowly walked towards the shadow wind guard from the side of the case, and looked at the Jinling envoy in the dark brocade clothes in front of him, his eyes swept over the person in front of him from head to toe, and he carefully examined it, and his sharp eyes stayed on the bamboo tubes on the shadow wind guard's hands.

Shadow Wind Guard just stood there quietly, motionless, respectfully holding the bamboo tube, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"Okay, don't embarrass him, after all, he is Mu Yi's person, and he has to look at the face of the Buddha if he doesn't look at the monk's face. An old man in plain clothes on the other side of the hall laughed and shouted to the weak young general, "Hand the edict to your father." ”

"Yes, Master" The weak young general took the bamboo tube from Shadow Wind Guard's hand, walked quickly to the wooden case of Dingguo Gong, and gently placed the bamboo tube on top of a pile of books. Shadow Fengwei, who was standing on the main hall, stood respectfully in place, bowing his head, waiting for Dingguogong's reply, not daring to be disrespectful, but he didn't know that there were only these two people in the hall, a weak general, and an old master who was dying.

The weak young general turned around and looked at Shadow Wind Guard seriously, coughed dryly, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Huh?" Shadowwind looked up slightly, then quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Your Excellency is asking me?"

"Hahaha, it would be nice if the Jinyi Guard also knew how to be as polite as you Shadow Wind Guard. The weak young general suddenly laughed, he walked down the wooden steps slowly, sat on the bottom wooden steps, and looked at the Shadow Wind Guard a few feet away, "You can go back." ”

"Back... Go back?" Shadow Wind Guard looked at the general sitting on the wooden steps and asked respectfully, "When will the Duke of Dingguo..."

"My father, you go back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, my father has received the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, and he will leave immediately. The weak young general got up from the ground and patted the placket of his clothes with his right hand.

"It turned out to be Xu Dashao, and the lower official will return to His Royal Highness the Prince. Shadow Wind Guard stepped back, turned around and walked out of the main hall at the screen.

Xu Dashao glanced back at the booklet copy on the wooden case, then put the thumb and index finger of his right hand on his neck and looked at the old master on his right hand thoughtfully, and sighed.

"You're a kid, and you're pretending to be an adult. The old master wore a tattered plain robe, he gently placed the book in his hand on the wooden table behind him, walked slowly back to the wooden couch, picked up the hot wine by the fire, and slowly poured it into the wine glass. The old master bowed down and sniffed deeply on the wine glass for a long time, and sighed, "Good wine, good wine." The wine given by the prince is indeed not ordinary. ”

"Master, when will you be able to quit your addiction to alcohol, be careful of drinking and making mistakes. Xu Dashao looked at the old master's wine tasting, and laughed out loud, he took a few steps forward, looked at the wine given by the prince to the mansion of the country, a trace of evil smile flashed in his eyes, and said in a soft tone, "A few jars of wine want to buy my father, and the prince's mansion can really think of it." ”

"Hmph, this wine is not simple. The old master fanned the wine glass back and forth with his right hand a few times, smelled the wine gently, his eyes were full of joy, and he coughed and whispered, "This is a special tribute from the western kingdom of Yunhai, and it is rarely encountered in the Central Plains." How will you know, you erector? ”

"Well... Good... Okay, I don't know, Master, you are the most knowledgeable" Major General Xu swept his right hand over his nose, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, looked at the books on the desk, and then looked at the luminous cup in the old master's hand, he cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Since you have drunk my father's wine, I should plan for the destruction of the military mansion, what does the master think of the prince's summoning of his father to Beijing?"

"Prince's edict?" the old master took a sip, his tongue slipped through the corner of his mouth, added a wine stain on the side of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Do you know that the prince does not mean it?"

"The prince has always wanted to win over his father, master, you don't know. Xu Dashao took a few steps forward, came to the wooden case, took the pot of wine from the old master's eyes, put it in front of his mouth and sniffed it carefully, frowned slightly, and said lightly, "It's nothing, isn't it just an ordinary wine." This broken wine actually made the master so obsessed!" He casually threw the wine jug to the wooden case, and the old master on the side rolled his eyes, stared at the wine jug flying in mid-air, and hurriedly stepped forward to catch it.

The old master hugged the wine jug in mid-air tightly, his eyebrows upside down, his face nervous, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the wine in the pot for fear of dripping half a bit. The whole eyeball was stuffed into the pot, and he said urgently, "Don't you know that wine is the lifeblood of the old man? He glared at the young descendant in front of him with an angry face, glared at him impatiently, and said, "If the old man is not mistaken, His Majesty the Emperor ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to handle court affairs a few years ago, and many important decrees also came from the Prince's Mansion. ”

"Yes, but he is never His Majesty, but my father is..."Xu Dashao was about to speak, but was glared back by the old master on the other side of the wooden case.

The old master let go of the wine between his arms and robes, sat down in front of the wooden couch, and whispered, "You must guard against the ears of the wall." There are some things that you, me, and Dingguo Gong can know, and there is no need to say more. ”

"What are you afraid of, Master, this is a broken military mansion" Xu Dashao pretended to be calm, and the corner of his eyes swept over the hall, and he didn't find anything unusual. He lowered his voice, bowed forward halfway, and knelt down in front of the wooden case and said, "Master, how do you think you should deal with it?"

"Of course, you have to obey the order, this is the emperor's edict. The old master picked up the wine on the wooden table, for fear of being seized by Xu Dashao again, but his eyes still did not leave the mouth of the pot.

"Don't worry, I don't want your wine. Major General Xu turned around, turned his back to the old master, and snorted coldly, "It seems that the master has been bought by this wine." ”

"Buy?" The old master slid his thumb over his snow-white beard, looked at Xu Dashao's back with an iron face, coughed and said lightly, "Do I want to persuade your father to refuse to accept the emperor's order and become like Hu Xiang, who is regarded as a thorn in the side of the prince's mansion?"

"Then we'll leave the Prince's Mansion to the Prince's Mansion...."Xu Dashao turned his head to look at the old master with a solemn face, "His Majesty the Emperor should be mindful of his father's exploits, no..."

"No, you know what authority matters. Although Dingguo Gong is now in charge of the military government, if he touches the scales, he will be dismissed from office immediately. The old master drank another glass of wine, threw the luminous cup in his palm, and the cold breath in his hand turned the luminous cup into ice crystals in an instant.

"But, King Yan's side..."

"In the court, who doesn't know that your father is friendly with King Yan, but how can Liang Guogong and Zheng Guogong be good?" The old master slowly poured the wine in the pot into the luminous cup that formed ice crystals, put it to his mouth and tasted it carefully for a long time. He looked at Xu Dashao with a drunken expression and said with a smile, "Let it be, ask His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for advice in case of trouble, so that it will not be been..."

"Then, what does the master think His Majesty is calling his father this time?" Xu Dashao respectfully put another pot of wine in front of the old master, and his attitude was extremely sincere.

The old master pointed to the wine in Xu Dashao's hand, with a faint smile on his lips, and looked at him with a slight surprise and smiled, "The son can be taught." The old man recently heard that Lou Dewu said that His Majesty the Emperor wants to be the emperor's grandson...."

"Marry? Jinling has long been spread all over the world. But, what does this have to do with my father's entry into Beijing?"
