The next day, when Xie Yang woke up, he was already on the third day, and if Song Wenyuan hadn't come to him, he would still be dreaming.

Xie Yang said, "Brother Wenyuan, what are you looking for me!"

Song Wenyuan said indignantly, "Why did you refuse my father's kindness yesterday, you must know that no one in Sichuan and Shu dared to refuse his order, not even me, you rejected him so rashly yesterday, it is a great luck not to clean you up, tell me, why do you refuse to join our team?"

Xie Yang said, "Did I refuse? I just said think about it."

Song Wenyuan smiled bitterly and said, "This is already a challenge to him, to be honest, my father admires you a lot, especially after listening to your warning, he is even more impressed with you, now there are not many talents like you, my father will not let you go, in my opinion, he wants to talk to you tonight." “

Xie Yang said, "My mother, won't!"

"There is nothing that will not be" Song Wenyuan said, "I know my father too well, he is a very serious person, once he is determined, he will not change easily, yesterday he said at the banquet that waiting for you for ten days is something that has never happened, I know that he is tempted by you." “

Xie Yang said, "What will happen in ten days!"

Song Wenyuan said, "I'm going to get married"

Xie Yang said, "Congratulations to the eldest brother, whose young lady is it!"

Song Wenyuan smiled slightly and said, "The daughter of Shihongru of Chang'an University"

Xie Yang felt his heart sink, and an inexplicable pain welled up in his heart, and said bitterly, "Congratulations to Brother Song so much"

Song Wenyuan saw Xie Yang's deflated appearance, smiled from ear to ear, and said, "It's Mr. Hong's other daughter, Hong Ye."

After Xie Yang heard this, it was as if a cloud in the sky had drifted away and floated back, Song Wenyuan played a great joke with him, making him fall into hell and rise to heaven, and only he could feel the taste of happiness.

Xie Yang stabilized his mind, restored his previous wise ecology, and said indifferently, "In this way, the purpose of Tian Gonggong's coming to Sichuan and Shu is about to come out, that is, to use the nobles of Chang'an to marry your Song family and form a relationship, and your rise and fall are all tied together, and then the Song family can send troops to fight against Huangchao, yes or no."

Song Wenyuan was pondering, and suddenly heard such a high-minded talk, he was shocked and overwhelmed, and he also learned Xie Yang's tone and said, "My mother, you are really a god, I also told me to my father after yesterday's dinner, I didn't expect you to guess so many things just by one marriage, it seems that my father really didn't see the wrong person." “

Xie Yang knew that Song Wenyuan didn't mean to hide it from him, and he was quite grateful, he knew that Song Wenyuan was the successor of the next King of Shu, and his status was not trivial, and he was able to make friends with him, so he trusted him very much, regarded him as his own brother, and he was a poor man, and he had suffered less white eyes and cynicism. Thinking of Song Wenyuan's attitude and dedication to him, he secretly made this friend in his heart.

At this time, the doorman informed that Miss Hong had invited Song Gongzi and Xie Gongzi to talk.

Xie Yang raised his eyebrows, did happiness come so suddenly.

Song Wenyuan said, "Boy, look at it, big brother, I'm right, everything is difficult at the beginning, I'm optimistic about you", and the two went to Miss Hong.

Tian Gonggong and his entourage lived in Chengdu Yonghe Palace, which was the palace of Liu Xuande, the emperor of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, and was located in Xicheng District, Chengdu. The scale of the palace is not very large, and because the national strength of Shu is not strong, Yonghe Hall is also a resting place for princes and nobles to enter Shu, and Song Kui is not a real prince, and he cannot live in it.

It was already noon when I arrived at the Yonghe Palace, and the maid said, "Miss has prepared lunch and is waiting for the two of you." ”

Miss Hong changed her dress, this time she was wearing a swan yellow short gown, lined with white long sleeves, very small and cute, seeing the arrival of the two, Shi Shiran said, "Tang suddenly invited the two, failed to welcome them from afar, and please forgive me."

Song Wenyuan laughed and said, "Little sister, what a crime, I have the honor to have lunch with you, it is already a great blessing, if you let you go out to greet you, it will be a torment of someone, and my brother is not." ”

Xie Yang is not a lustful person, but he can't stop wanting Miss Hong, and says, "What Brother Song said is very true"

After taking her seat, Miss Hong stepped back and said, "Brother Xie, don't you know me?"

Xie Yang was fluttered by a sentence called by Brother Xie, but then he was confused by a sentence.

Song Wenyuan was also puzzled.

Xie Yang said, "Yesterday's dinner was the first time Xie saw Miss."

Miss Hong couldn't help but laugh, "I'm Hong Shan!"

Xie Yang then remembered the sword master's doorman Hongshan, the pampered disciple, who was delicate, turned out to be his daughter's family. But this is also too far from the character of the pampered and arrogant doorman at that time, one is tricky and eccentric, one is dignified and gentle, is this really a person, thinking of his various education for the doorman, and the obsession with the young lady, I suddenly felt that I was played by this little girl, and I was ashamed of myself.

It turned out that Miss Hong's real name was Hong Shan, and after being introduced by Song Kui, she went to the sword master to learn swordsmanship, and Xie Yang also knew about the later things, but for some reason she dressed as a man, and it was vivid.

Hong Shan said, "Shan'er likes to dance and play with swords since she was a child, so she worships the sword master, for fear of bringing adverse effects to the sword master, so she disguises herself as a man, and always hides it from Brother Xie, I hope Brother Xie doesn't mind." Shan'er once again thanked her eldest brother for seeing her off for her kindness. ”

Say goodbye, Ying Ying bows down.

Xie Yang couldn't cry or laugh, this little girl was extremely shrewd, and hurriedly said, "Xie is extremely ashamed, don't mention this matter again."

However, Song Wenyuan was reluctant to let go, and he had to know the details, Hong Shan was helpless, and told the story of what happened from the Zhulin Courtyard.

Xie Yang listened to Hong Shan's heavenly voice, and his heart was extremely excited, if he knew at that time that this kid was a fairy-like beauty, wouldn't he be the first to get the moon near the water, and now it is extremely embarrassing, it is really a creation to make people.

After hearing this, Song Wenyuan laughed and said, "It turns out that the two of you have been involved for a long time, no wonder Brother Xie is obsessed with you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xie Yang kicked him directly under the table.

Hong Shan's face was slightly red, obviously unable to stand this kind of explicit words, and said, "Do you want me to call you brother-in-law, so that you will give up and see if I go back and don't complain to my sister."

This time it was Song Wenyuan's turn to say goodbye, and the whole lunch was spent in this pleasant atmosphere.

When parting, Xie Yang glanced at Hong Shan meaningfully, but he didn't leave at the door, and Song Wenyuan went to the outer hall to wait for him.

Xie Yang plucked up his courage and said, "Hong Shan, at that time, you and I went to Chengdu together, along the way, I just treated you as an ordinary doorman, and I didn't take care of you all the way, and I apologized for what I did." ”

Hong Shan glanced at him, and said in his heart, you are a pig, you can see something, but she said, "It's okay, Shan'er is still very grateful to Brother Xie."

Xie Yang said, "Ha, Miss doesn't mind, it's just, it's just, hey"

Hong Shan replied to her tricky and said, "Don't babble, just say what you have to say."

Xie Yang said embarrassedly, "Dare to ask Miss if she is interested in someone, hey, I really shouldn't ask." ”

Hong Shan blushed, and said with a straight face, "Why are you pursuing me!", and immediately burst out laughing, "Brother Xie, you are so interesting, Shan'er is only sixteen."

Xie Yang said his heart horizontally, horizontally and vertically, and the manly husband did not care about his mother-in-law, and said, "Xie does have a heart for Miss, after meeting Miss at the banquet last night, he was shocked, hey, do you know that Xie has not slept all night."

Hong Shan said, "I thought that Brother Xie was also an upright gentleman, not like others, but he was also a person who only valued beautiful appearance."

Xie Yang was confused and said, "You misunderstood, I was born in a poor family, and I really haven't seen many beautiful women, but the beauties at the dinner party are like clouds, and I, Xie Mou, have seen it with my eyes, but I just have a soft spot for Miss, hey, I have a soft spot." ”

Hong Shan's face was flushed with shame, it was the first time she had talked about her feelings with a man, and she felt very fresh and exciting, especially in the face of Xie Yang's generous confession, she didn't know what to do, so the two of them were silent.

Song Wenyuan waited outside for a long time, and when he didn't see Xie Yang go out, he was also in a hurry, and shouted, "Brother Xie, hurry up, the sun is about to set."

Both of them felt very embarrassed, Xie Yang stood up and said, "Xie Mou's heart, heaven and earth can be learned, Miss has no intention of being with me, Xie has to fight on the battlefield, horse leather shroud, in order to express his heart to Miss." "Let's go, get ready to leave.

Xie Yang's words were impassioned, showing an indomitable spirit, Hong Shan looked at this child from a poor family, and suddenly wanted to know his past, he volunteered to save his master, sent him off thousands of miles, and killed the picture of the flower thief flashed in her mind, his heroic spirit has long been deeply rooted in her heart, she is the daughter of a noble valve, she can be pampered, she can enjoy life, but she can't enjoy the taste of love, because the marriages of nobles are all political, they are all purposeful, and there is no way to choose, like her sister Hong Ye is also a victim of political marriage, but she was lucky to marry Song Wenyuan。 Obviously not, the man in front of her, he is brave, intelligent, a combination of courage and insight, and he is a loyal and brave man, who is not fond of such a man, compared to those rich children of the clan, such as Sima Jinyu, I don't know how many times stronger. She has been tired of the life of the family since she was a child, so she went into the rivers and lakes, abandoned the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learned martial arts and swordsmanship, in order to get rid of the past life.

Hong Shan stared at Xie Yang, and saw a trace of sadness in his eyes, if this person is in love, what else can he pursue!

Xie Yang stood in place like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, unable to believe what he heard in his ears, Hong Shan said slowly, "Why do you regret it?"

Xie Yang froze, hugged Hong Shan fiercely into his arms, and said in her ear, "If I fail you, I am willing to be sent to hell, and I will never be able to turn over." ”

Hong Shan gently pressed his mouth and said, "I don't want you to never turn over, I want you to never leave, but you must promise me a few conditions."

Xie Yangxi said, "Don't say one, even if you have a hundred hundred, you won't complain."

Hong Shan lightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't swear with me, first, you must avenge my master", Xie Yang nodded fiercely, "That's nature."

Hong Shan said again, "Second, you are not allowed to belittle me, after all, we are not married, third, you are not allowed to like other girls, fourth, we have made a private decision for life must be kept secret, the time is not yet ripe, Shan'er does not want you to carry too many rumors." ”。

Xie Yang agreed to it all, he was full of warm and crispy jade, since he stepped into the rivers and lakes, He Cheng had been so comfortable, he swept away the haze that had been in his heart for two days, as if he no longer had a goal that he could not achieve, and there was no longer the pressure of the master's ambition, and the whole world was in his arms.

Song Wenyuan was not in a hurry to wait, and walked into the gate and said, "Brother, hurry up! Suddenly, I saw the two kissing me and me, hugging each other.

Hong Shan came out of Xie Yang's arms like lightning, his face was red with shame, and he hurriedly turned around, Xie Yang remembered the summons of the King of Shu, and the matter between himself and Hong Shan was bumped into by Song Wenyuan, but he was also embarrassed, and said, "Don't blame the eldest brother, the younger brother will go."

Song Wenyuan smiled treacherously: "What are you calling big brother! I will call my brother-in-law in a few days!"

After that, he laughed heartily.

Hong Shan said, "Brother-in-law, you don't come here, do you think my sister can't control you, tell you, I, Hong Shan, am not easy to bully." After saying that, he laughed ashamedly.

Song Wenyuan observed his words and said, "Please rest assured, I, Song Wenyuan, will never say anything about this."

Xie Yang glanced at Song Wenyuan gratefully, and said to Hong Shan, "Shan'er, I have something important to do with Brother Song, go first, that, I'll see you later."

Hong Shan said embarrassedly, "Who wants to see you", and returned to the inner hall.

Along the way, Song Wenyuan took Xie Yang and said, "I can't imagine that my brother really has a way of dealing with women, Hong Shan is the proud daughter of the sky, and the suitors in Chang'an can be ranked in Chengdu, I didn't expect to be taken down by my brother in two days, my brother really admires."

Xie Yang smiled, "Brother, don't make fun of me, I fell in love with Shan'er at first sight, my brother knows, Shan'er is also moved by my true feelings, it's as unbearable as you say." ”

Song Wenyuan said, "It's only been a few days, Shan'er Shan'er, you kid can kill me, remember, don't show your feet before and after people." Xie Yang realized that he was carried away, in this materialistic era, the nobles of Chang'an regarded themselves as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and now they are protected by the Song Valve, but they still can't act rashly.

While talking and laughing, the two had already arrived at Song Kui's practice room.

There is only Song Kui himself in the real practice room, Xie Yang said, "The younger generation has seen the King of Shu".

Song Kui stared at him for a long time and said, "Tell me, what kind of swordsmanship is the most powerful?"

Xie Yang didn't expect Song Kui to ask him this question, so he thought for a while and said, "Whether the swordsmanship is powerful or not depends on the strength of the opponent, there is no most powerful swordsmanship, only the strongest will." Xie Yang's theory is obviously very novel, and it also makes Song Kui feel quite fresh. But this is only a breakthrough in will, not the actual mystery of swordsmanship and martial arts.

Song Kui's loud voice filled the real room, and said, "One of the swords, pay attention to the realm and cultivation, with the qi sword, is a starting point for the sword to get out of the moves, when the swordsmanship is not entangled in the moves, but the integration with the environment of heaven and earth, the space is mastered within the scope of the idea capture, so that there is a sword in the hand, there is also a sword in the heart, there is no sword in the hand, there is no sword in the heart, the sword has become a part of the environment of heaven and earth, and it is the highest state of swordsmanship." ”

Song Kui's words were full of powerful energy, from far to near, constantly echoing in the room, and seemed to be directly told in his heart, to Xie Yang's admiration, Song Kui did not point him to any swordsmanship, just a few words eloquently, like a twilight drum and morning bell, striking his heart like a twilight drum and morning bell, making him understand and understand the mystery and realm of swordsmanship, and also pointing out the direction of his attack.

Xie Yang couldn't help but cast his heart at this swordsmanship, he recalled the scene when the sword master was in a duel with the mysterious man, the entire manor seemed to be integrated with him, and now that he thought about it, he really had an endless aftertaste. Suddenly, he bowed three times to Song Kui.

Song Kui smiled and said without saying a word, "The sword master was brutally murdered by a traitor, I don't know what you think of this matter."

Xie Yang thought for a moment and said, "Judging from my experience, on the surface, the sword master cannot join the evil organization, so that the other party will be poisoned, but in fact, it is to weaken the power of the King of Shu. Such as today's chaos, Huang Chao in the support of many conspirators, rebellion, although just suffered a defeat, but the strength is still not to be underestimated, with the strength of those powerful officials in Luoyang, Chang'an, is still not the opponent of Huang Chao, only the king of Shu can level the thief, the other party is afraid of the king of Shu to send troops, so knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, at the same time, the war with the support of money and food needs to lead the army, so the establishment of an organization, into Sichuan Shu to steal and loot, can distract the attention of the king of Shu, and can give the strong support of the Huang Chao finance, this plan is insidious and vicious, but it is the best way to target the king of Shu.

Song Kui nodded with satisfaction and said, "What do you think about Gonggong Tian's entry into Shu?"

Xie Yang said in his heart, this is a test for me, so he said, "Father-in-law Tian's trip is intended to marry, and through marriage, the wealthy families of Sichuan and Shu and the nobles of Luoyang, Chang'an, will be tied together, hoping that the king of Shu will send troops to destroy the last hope of Huangchao in one fell swoop, which is very clever." ”

Song Kui finally smiled and said, "The kid guessed that although it is not far away, now the rivers and lakes are in chaos, the Huangchao uprising in Hebei, the team is growing day by day, there are really many ambitious people behind the support, otherwise it is difficult to become a climate, and now although the new defeat in Xuanzhou, the vitality is not injured, and there is still a comeback." ”

After a pause, he said, "These young people dare to calculate my Song Kui, I'm afraid that I am impatient, this time the main roads in Sichuan and Shu have all been blocked by me, and Chengdu has also been curfew, and it is a fool's dream to make waves from my territory." “

Xie Yang said, "It turns out that the prince has been prepared for a long time, and the kid admires it." ”

Song Kui continued, "Since the Anshi Rebellion, Sichuan and Shu have not raised troops for a hundred years, and they are too comfortable, and the old man is scheduled to announce Wenyuan's marriage in ten days, just to let the world know that this time out of the mountain, it will definitely put down the evil demons and ghosts in one fell swoop, and revive the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

His words revealed a strong momentum and self-confidence, Xie Yang could hear the sound of the Song family's Jin Ge Iron Horse marching, but he faintly felt that Song Kuizhi was not here, he had been dormant for a hundred years in Sichuan and Shu, and his momentum was declining, and his current form could only allow him to revive the prestige of the Song family, or replace it. Thinking of this, Xie Yang was shocked into a cold sweat behind him, he was a master of the family, what he wanted was to completely eliminate the resurgent clan giants, and now that the Song family was about to go on the expedition, he and Song Wenyuan had a deep brotherly relationship, did he really want to break up, and Shan'er, who had just made a private lifelong decision, was he willing to give it up, thinking of this, his heart was depressed.

Song Kui has been observing Xie Yang's reaction, to be honest, Xie Yang's martial arts and wisdom in the past two days are really beyond his expectations, this son is too young, martial arts and wisdom are the best choice, if he can't use it, it will become a big disaster in the future, thinking of this, the killing machine flashed in his eyes, and he laughed and said, "The old man's ten-day period is probably impatient, I really hope that the kid can become a member of Sichuan Shu and fight side by side with the Song family, isn't it happy!"

Xie Yang clearly felt Song Kui's sincerity and murderous intention, and said, "Ten days are still long, the kid will drink Brother Wenyuan's wine in Chengdu, and he will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the prince at that time."
