The Grandmaster Strategist - Chapter 213

[Chapter 46]

In the eleventh year, the king of the county was ordered to be the vanguard, and the king was brave and brave. Every time he was the vanguard, he was in front of the dazzling army, and no one dared to look directly at him.

In the spring of the thirteenth year, the three armies Chengdi ordered to cross the river. They were all suffering, so I opened the city gate and asked to surrender. The king of the county was the vanguard of the Jing tribe, and the army was only five thousand. I might persuade them to wait for the coming of the lord, but the king of the county would not allow them to enter the city. The chaotic army is harmed, and they are all killed.

Jianye is flat, and Wang is also famous all over the world.

With the achievements of the king of the county, he ordered the army to lead the army alone. Wang Nai swept the south of the Yangtze River and broke the counties of Yuzhang, Yichun, Luling, Poyang, and Linchuan.

The king of the county is strict in character, strict in military orders, decisive in killing, and the people of Chu are terrified. However, he loves heroic and loyal men and can’t bear to hurt them. Even if he offends him, he will only send Jianye’s ears on the threshold. All laughed.

In the fourteenth year, when the world was settled, Taizong wanted to send important officials to appease the southern Fujian. There were many wild and wild places in the middle of Fujian, and the roads were difficult and people did not want it. Taizong applauded him and appointed him as the military governor of southern Fujian, Xu Jianya, and the three divisions of Yitong Kaifu.

In the ninth year of Fu Min, the king of the county, built business roads, dredged rivers, persuaded farmers and mulberry, and deterred tyrants and strong people.

In the 22nd year, Lu Cannv, the former general of Chu, was hired as the princess.

The following year, Taizong Zhaojun King returned to the court, and the people all supported the old and the young, looking at each other for a few thirty miles.

—— “Biography of King Yongshi Jiajun”

Huo Cong came to Zhongli. In addition to visiting Li Lin at the order of the prince, there was another reason for Shi Yujin and Lu Mei. Originally, Dong Que was ordered to save the two by Jiang Zhe, but Jiang Zhe was going to wait until Jing Chi attacked and dispatched them. They were taken to Xuzhou.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhe received news of Dong Que before Jing Chi had finished the land of Huaixi. After Shi Yujin gave birth to a son, he did not want to stay any longer after he had cultivated for less than two months. After learning about the situation outside from Dong Que , they will send Lu Mei and Aiko to Tingzhou, and then return north to find Lu Yun’s whereabouts.

Dong Que originally rescued the two women as a Taoist priest Youfang, so naturally it was not easy to stop Shi Yujin from acting like this, so he could only quickly spread the news to Xuzhou.

Huo Cong was ordered to come here this time. If there is any conflict between Shi Yujin and Yong Jun, he can deal with it.

Now that Li Lin has a heart for Lu Mei, he naturally doesn’t have to worry anymore. After handing over the grain and grass, he secretly told Jing Chi some clues and instructed Li Lin to say something, and he set off for Xuzhou early the next morning. .

Because he was in a hurry to return to Xuzhou, Huo Cong set out on the road with only four Hu Ben guards. These four were old friends who protected him when he was in Dinghai. They have been with each other for several years. , did not stop until noon, the sun was dazzling, and the people and horses were exhausted. At this time, Huo Cong saw an abandoned temple on the side of the road, and raised his whip: “It’s almost noon, let’s take a rest in front.” Four. The guards agreed in unison.

This is a place where passers-by often rest. It was only in the past few years that Yongchu confronted Huaixi, so it became dilapidated, but it can still shelter from the wind and rain.

When the five arrived at the temple, they turned over and dismounted their horses and tied the horses in front of the temple. One took the wooden barrel under the porch, and went to the back of the temple to fetch water from the clear stream in the forest. The other three waited on the horses and prepared lunch under the steps.

Seeing that several people were busy, Huo Cong took a walk outside the temple by himself, trying to relax his muscles and bones.

When I saw the guards lift the water out, I heard the gurgling sound of water coming from the woods, vaguely like the sound of a piano, and I couldn’t help but feel the heart of searching for the secluded and victorious. I greeted a few guards and walked towards the forest queen.

A guard got up and wanted to follow to protect him, but was stopped by Huo Cong.

Now the situation in Jianghuai is different from last year. Since Lu Can’s death, the Chu army in Huainan has not been able to retreat, let alone send scouts to go deep into Yongjing, so Huo Cong has no worries about being assassinated, not to mention Huo Cong also has some martial arts skills. Nan Chu scouts would not be killed casually, so the guard did not follow him after hesitating.

Huo Cong walked a few dozen feet away when he saw a clear spring in a stream in the forest.

The spring water is crystal clear and there are still fish swimming in the water. Feeling at ease, I sit on the rocks by the stream and watch the fish beside the water. I am very happy.

Just as Huo Cong was leaning on the stone, letting the warm sunlight through the greenery shine on his body, when he was drowsy, a sarcastic voice came from his ear: “Young Master Huo is already in the sky, and he doesn’t remember killing him anymore. The hatred of the father, the hatred of destroying the country.”

Huo Cong only felt a shock all over his body. He closed his lips tightly and resisted the urge to call for help, not only because of the sharp blade against his back, but also because of the man’s words.

Seeing this, the man behind him smiled and said, “Young Master Huo is really smart and enlightened. I think when the leader of the Splendid Alliance, Huo Jicheng, died at the hands of the enemy, and even his name was taken away, he never thought that his beloved son would have today.”

Huo Cong’s eyes flashed over Hanmang, and said coldly, “What nonsense are you talking about, Huo doesn’t understand what you mean.” Before he could finish his sentence, he felt that the sharp blade behind him had moved away, and someone sat on the bluestone beside him, calmly. Said: “I don’t know if Mr. Huo still remembers me, Li Ming, but I sent him and the people from Hof to Chang’an. Over the years, the appearance of Mr. Huo has not changed, but the red mole on the eyebrow is still the same as before. The prime minister said that this was ‘the pearl hidden in the grass’, the master was smart and wise, and the death was auspicious. Now, it seems that the prime minister is really hard-nosed. Who would have thought that the convict Huo Jicheng would be captured by Dayong and Nanchu. His parents and sons are now the disciples of Jiang Zhe, an important minister of the Yong Dynasty, and even more highly regarded by the crown prince Li Jun. In the future, he will definitely be an extremely noble minister with both wealth and honor. However, it is true that if there is a teacher, there must be an apprentice, so that the teacher betrays Chu. Tou Yong, but Young Master Huo recognizes a thief as his father, which is also out of blue.”

Huo Cong’s face was ashen, and he didn’t even look at the man. He just stared at the stream in front of him and remained silent. He wasn’t easily convinced by this, but it was this man who spoke his mind for many years, which made him become like this. general appearance.

The man said coldly: “The leader of the alliance was determined to restore the country in the past, and he sacrificed his life for this, but everyone has selfish intentions, so when he married his wife, he was constipated and kept silent. After the son was born, he even sent his family to Chang’an. Due to the painstaking efforts of the leader of the alliance, although Chang’an is Yongdu, it is safer than ordinary places, and there is no disaster of soldiers. As long as the identities of the wife and son are not revealed, they can live in peace for a long time. Although the world thinks that the leader of the alliance died in Longshengyuan At the time of the change of King Qing of Dongchuan in 2010, but you and I both know that since the 24th year of Wuwei, the wife has lost the news of the leader of the alliance. But I am not a member of the Jinxiu alliance, and the wife has no way to contact the confidant of the leader of the alliance. , so I still don’t know who is the one who used the name of the leader of the alliance to rule the world. At the beginning of the 25th year of Wuwei, his wife died of illness, and the son suddenly left after his wife’s funeral. Entering Prince Yong’s mansion. Now that I think about it, the young master should have wanted to find out the whereabouts of the leader of the alliance. If the leader of the alliance has been unpredictable, then the most likely murderer is the man of Yong, but I don’t know whether it is the hand of King Yong Li Zhi or the prince Li An. Prince Yong’s mansion is also right, but the wealth and honor are coming, and the glory is distraught, and now the son has forgotten his parents’ enmity, right?”

Huo Cong clenched his teeth, not knowing when the blood had spilled out of the corner of his mouth, the man smiled coldly when he saw it, and said: “Li has no future, and later went to Nanchu and followed Wei Shouzuo around, although Fengyimen is a phoenix with hairy hair. , but it is still a hundred-footed worm, dead but not stiff, but it has also taught me many secrets. Wei Shouzuo has been thinking hard over the years, and he has already concluded that the Jinxiu League has fallen into the control of Emperor Yong Li Zhi since Wuwei’s twenty-four years. , that Jiang Zhe’s temperament, he likes to hide and tuck, and there will be no one other than Jiang Zhe who is really in charge of this matter. It seems that the leader of the alliance died in whose hands, no one knows. It is said that Jiang Zhe loves the son very much. Very, can the son really not guess who is the enemy who killed his father?”

Huo Cong’s eyes seemed to burst into flames, and he stared at the man fiercely, but the man seemed not to care, took out a jade bottle from his arms and put it in front of Huo Cong, saying: “This bottle is the first one bought from the Poison King. The secret medicine that came, if ordinary people eat it without hindrance, if people who are seriously ill and injured take it, they will become weaker and weaker. It only takes a few months to make the person who takes the medicine die silently. The son is Jiang Zhe. Lover, as long as you put this thing in the diet, soup and medicine, you can avenge the hatred of the country and the family. You don’t have to worry about it, sir, although that fellow is the holy hand of Qihuang, but the way of using poison is unfathomable. Shen Ruhui’s ability to use poison is unparalleled in the world. , even if the sage of medicine came in person, he would not be able to discover this medicine, not to mention that this medicine is not strictly poisonous, but a tonic to strengthen the body, but it is not suitable for patients.”

Seeing that Huo Cong still didn’t speak, the man knew that Huo Cong was unmoved, and said, “If you don’t want to do anything, Li Ming’s ugly words will be ahead of you, and within half a year, if that person doesn’t die, I will leak out your life background. , I just don’t know when that time comes, that Jiang Zhe will be merciful and soft-hearted. Even his teenage friend, his lover who is as close as flesh and blood, is his enemy, he will not let him go, not to mention you are a helpless child. Even if he is reluctant to kill you, I am afraid that you will be cut off from now on, and you will no longer be able to gain the trust of Yong Ting. At that time, I am afraid that the son’s life is not as good as death, but it is better to give up his life. If the son is willing to kill Jiang Zhe , To be honest, Li has long been determined to die, and he is unwilling to live in the world. He will definitely go to Jiuquan to report the good news to Huo Mengzhu and Wei Shouzuo, and he will never stay in the world, leaving the son behind If you are worried, you can come to see me at the Ping An Inn in Shouchun City. I think Shouchun will have been broken by Dayong by then. If I die in front of you, you will feel relieved if you want to come here, right? It’s just that Don’t think that the matter has not been completed and kill him. I have already left the letter in the hands of my confidant. If there is no token of mine, at this time next year, he will open the letter, and according to my will, I will spread the son’s life experience all over the world. When the time comes, I am afraid that you will regret it too late. If you kill Jiang Zhe, I will tell the token and the identity of that person, so that you can never have troubles, isn’t it a beautiful thing?”

Huo Cong stared blankly at the jade bottle, and at some point, the voice of the guard came from behind him, “Young master, it’s time to eat.”

Huo Cong subconsciously hid the jade bottle in his sleeve, raised his head, that Li Ming had long since disappeared, and said dumbly, “Let’s go over here, wait for me.” Putting his head into the water, the cold stream was particularly chilly. After a while, Huo Cong raised his head, got up and turned around and smiled, “This stream is too cold.” It doesn’t make people feel embarrassed, but it makes people feel that he is free and straightforward.

The guard had followed him for several years, and knew that Huo Cong would occasionally act in such an informal way, but he did not see the turbulence in Huo Cong’s heart, so he jokingly said, “This stream is cold at first, and now it’s late spring, it is inevitable that there will be It’s cool, you should wipe off the water, otherwise it will be bad if you suffer from the wind and cold.”

Huo Cong smiled slightly, wiped away the water marks with the sleeve of his robe, and followed the guard to the forest outside the temple with a calm laugh. He saw that the stove was already steaming hot in the front steps of the temple, and the soup was filled with pancakes, but it was a meal. Hearty meal.

Huo Cong was joking with a few guards while he was eating without showing any signs of anything, and no one knew that Huo Cong was already ignorant of food at the moment.

After lunch, they rested for half an hour, and the five of them set off on the road again. There was nothing to say along the way. In the early morning of the fourth day, the five of them arrived in front of Xuzhou City.

After rushing the road all night, his clothes were almost soaked with dew, and he was eager to enter the city to change his clothes. Seeing Xuzhou City standing in the morning light, without any discussion, the five of them all added a whip and rushed to the city gate.

Before arriving at the city gate, he was surprised to see the flags fluttering in front of the city. Huo Cong was puzzled. He rode his horse to a stop on the side of the road and stared intently. After expressing the identity of the convoy that was leaving the city, Huo Cong saw Princess Changle’s golden chariot.

Huo Cong was surprised that Princess Changle came to Xuzhou because Jiang Zhe was seriously ill. Jiang Zhe should not have recovered yet, so why did the princess go back and stay on the side of the road in a daze, but Huo Cong forgot that he could go forward and ask , that the conversation by the stream in the forest gave him a heavy blow, which by no means can be covered up by the calmness on the surface.

Princess Dayong should have used a Zhai chariot according to the etiquette system, but only Princess Changle of Ningguo specifically allowed the use of gold chariots. This was originally intended by Emperor Yong, but Huo Cong thought about it a few times and already figured out what happened today. Before he went to Zhongli, he I learned from the prince Li Jun that there was a censor’s remonstrance to impeach Princess Changle’s long absence from Yongdu. I think it must have been the emperor’s decree to return the princess.

At this time, Huo Cong saw Princess Changle driving by the side, Rou Lan and Shen’er were riding horses, but Shen’er was wearing casual clothes while Rou Lan was wearing a light yellow spring shirt, which didn’t look like she was going to hurry. , but reluctantly spoke to Princess Changle through the high window with beaded curtains, and secretly guessed that Princess Changle must have left Rou Lan in Xuzhou.

At this time, Princess Changle and Rou Lan both saw Huo Cong on the side of the road, stopped the drive, and Princess Changle said softly: “Cong’er is back, if you come back a little later, you can’t say goodbye to this palace. ”

Only then did Huo Cong come forward to greet him, and asked melancholy, “Is Shima going back to Beijing?”

Princess Changle sighed softly, her beautiful face showing a gloomy look, and said: “The mother is slightly ill, and I order Ben Gong to return to Beijing. I will leave Lan’er to take care of her father, but she is still young, so most of them can’t handle it. , if you are by Suiyun’s side, you have to take more care, although Suiyun has improved a lot, but I still can’t rest assured.”

At this time, Jiang Shen leaned out on the other side across the golden rafters, and said eagerly, “Brother Huo, you have to tell daddy that it’s not that I don’t want to copy the “Book of Songs” ten times, but the emperor’s uncle asked me to go back together. It was said that my grandmother missed me very much, and my master wanted me to go back to practice, so I left, at most when my father returns to Beijing, I will give him the copied Book of Songs.”

Rou Lan was already in tears, but when she heard Jiang Shen’s words, she burst into tears and smiled: “Shen’er, you don’t want to ask someone to copy the book according to your handwriting, Daddy’s eyesight is very powerful, you can’t hide it. ”

Jiang Shen was stunned when he heard the words, his clear black eyes kept rolling, as if he was considering whether what his sister said was true or not.

However, Princess Changle smiled and said, “Yes, Shen’er, your sister has suffered a loss in the past. Originally, she only copied “The Analects of Confucius” five times, but she copied it ten times more.”

Jiang Shen opened his mouth wide, stunned, but he forgot that he was still on the horse, and almost fell down. Fortunately, he had just completed his martial arts, and he was in a hurry to control the reins.

Huo Cong also laughed with a “puchi”. The worries and worries of the past few days were almost swept away, only Rou Lan’s face was flushed red, and she became more and more coquettish.

This little episode softened the sadness of parting, until Princess Changle Luan Jia disappeared from sight, Huo Cong was still smiling, until Rou Lan whispered in his ear: “Uncle Emperor is also true, no It’s just that someone has been impeached, and I’m busy sending my mother back to Beijing. If I were my father, I would just go back together, so as not to waste my time and effort for no reason.”

Huo Cong’s heart trembled, the original joy fell silent, and he said lightly: “Lan’er can’t be rude, if this word gets out, I’m afraid it will cause trouble, how can the emperor have any doubts about Mr. It’s just the tongue.”

Rou Lan said angrily when she heard the words: “Daddy said the same thing, but I’m just not convinced. If you let me know who was impeaching Daddy, you must pull out his beard.”

Huo Cong said with a smile: “Okay, don’t make trouble, I’m going to see Mr., if you don’t want to go back, I won’t wait for you.”

Rou Lan rolled her eyes and said, “Brother Huo, beg me for mercy, Daddy won’t allow me to go to Chuzhou again, and he also told me to learn some women’s red media, I don’t like those troublesome things, Daddy hurts the most. You, if you speak, Daddy will agree.”

Huo Cong’s heart hurt even more, and he said reluctantly: “Okay, I will mention it to Mr., but if Mr. doesn’t agree, there is nothing I can do.”

The two rode their horses to Ningbi Garden, where Jiang Zhe was recovering from his illness, and heard the noisy sounds on both sides of the street. For some reason, Huo Cong’s mind gradually calmed down.

He knew that there were many inaccuracies in the man’s words. His father was not a man with lofty ideals to restore the country, and he and his mother were sent to Chang’an to live in seclusion for the safety of both mother and son.

Although he was still young at that time, he still remembered a lot of things, especially his mother often confided her bitterness to him, or thought he didn’t understand, otherwise a virtuous and gentle woman like her would never speak of her husband-in-law. is not.

But the man was right about one thing, his father did die at the hands of his husband, and he did forget the hatred of the country and the family.

He never regarded himself as a native of Shu. After he was born, the kingdom of Shu had long since died. He spent his childhood in Chang’an, and later grew up in the cold garden. He never thought of national enmity, only There is hatred at home, but he has never forgotten it for a moment.

When he crashed into the car driver at Prince Yong’s Mansion, he was intentional. He wanted to use this method to infiltrate Prince Yong’s Mansion. At that time, his only wish was to know his father’s life and death, and then to tell his mother, who had already disappeared.

Who knew that because of fate, he joined Jiang Zhe’s family, and this was the beginning of his knot.

Jiang Zhe’s respect and trust allowed him to know many secrets, and even guessed the cause of his father’s death from clues, but Jiang Zhe’s teachings and love made him appreciate the father’s love that he had never received. He regarded Jiang Zhe as a close relative, but it was this person who killed his biological father.

In the end, he decided not to face this fact. As long as he didn’t get real evidence, he could not think that Jiang Zhe was his father’s enemy.

Later, what he feared most was identity leakage.

Once Jiang Zhe knows his life experience, with Jiang Zhe’s temperament, he will definitely tell the truth. He is not afraid that Jiang Zhe will expel him from the cold garden, and he is not afraid that Jiang Zhe will put him in the predicament that he cannot survive or die, and he is not even afraid. Jiang Zhe killed him, but what he was afraid of was that he didn’t know how to choose between favor and hatred. I was afraid that at that time, he would have no other way but to commit suicide.

But the secret that he tried so hard to cover up was finally revealed. After all, he couldn’t deceive himself. Finally, when he arrived at Ningbi Garden, Huo Cong dismounted, followed Rou Lan to Jiang Zhe’s residence step by step, feeling as if he was stepping on cotton. , with no support at all, his eyes fell on the false door, Huo Cong suddenly felt calm as never before. It turned out that when he faced it for real, it was not as scary as he imagined.

Jiang Zhe’s indifferent voice came from the door and said, “Is Cong’er back? Come in, Lan’er, I liked the soup from yesterday. Go tell the chef that you want that soup for dinner today.”

He smiled slightly, listening to Rou Lan’s distant footsteps, summoning up his courage, Huo Cong pushed open the door and walked in, his eyes flashed, and then he suddenly froze. In his opinion, Jiang Zhe should still be as unhappy as a month ago , Guess what, Jiang Zhe was sitting on a chair, wearing only a middle coat and a robe, holding a fragrant tea and admiring a copybook on the desk. .

On the other hand, Xiao Shunzi was sitting in front of Qiping, holding an old booklet in his hand.

The two masters and servants were so leisurely and contented, as if the clouds from a few months ago had vanished without a trace.

Seeing Huo Cong coming in, Xiao Shunzi didn’t lift his eyelids, but Jiang Zhe raised his head and smiled: “Cong’er met your wife, in fact, she was too worried, I’m much better now, even if she’s not by my side. , there will be no problem, but it is better to go back to Beijing, so that those fermented bean curd will not talk too much.”

Seeing Jiang Zhe’s peaceful expression, Huo Cong felt relieved in his heart, and subconsciously threw his sorrows aside, and said, “Sir, you are so happy, but is there any happy event?”

I smiled and said: “Where is the happy event, the four-way army is raising troops together, only the Huaixi side is very smooth, and the Berkshire area originally Yu Mian had already intentionally surrendered to him, but someone sent Lu Can’s sword, That Yu Mian has already vowed not to surrender, I’m afraid it will take some effort to conquer Berkshire.”

Seeing Jiang Zhe talking about Lu Can, there is no more sympathy, Huo Cong’s heart moved, and he asked tentatively, “Sir, is you no longer sad about the general’s affairs?”

Hearing this, Xiao Shunzi raised his head with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Huo Cong lowered his head, feeling that he shouldn’t stab the pain in his husband’s heart.

At this time, Jiang Zhe’s gentle and peaceful voice came from his ear: “Alas, I have already prepared for this matter. Those days were just ignorant for a while. No matter how strong Can’s friendship is, it can’t match the word loyalty and righteousness. If Lu Can kills me, it will most likely be painful. It’s just that things have changed, but he still has to lead the army to kill the enemy. I don’t regret what I did that day, Why do you still have to worry about your heart, it’s just a matter of grief and hatred for relatives. I think he will not like to see me so sad even though he has killed himself. Some things have to be faced after all. If you can be safe, why should you care about worldly opinions?”

Hearing Jiang Zhe’s last two sentences, Huo Cong felt as if he was enlightened. His heart suddenly became enlightened, and vitality appeared on his face again. After a moment of silence, he said with a smile, “It’s good if you can figure it out, sir, no wonder the wife is willing to I returned to Beijing by edict, but it is because my husband is all right, and my disciples have good news to report here.

I said with great interest: “If you come back so soon, I know that the matter must have been resolved. Tell me your good news.”

Huo Cong detailed the story of Li Lin’s love for Lu Mei, and I was so excited that I couldn’t help laughing: “It’s like a father must have a son. Back then, His Royal Highness King Qi made a lot of jokes for Princess Jiaping. It took a lot of effort to marry a beautiful woman. I’m afraid that this kid Li Lin will spend ten times more effort than his father in the future to get his wish, but this matter has to be promoted as much as possible. But speaking of these children, they are also Now that I’m older, Lan’er also got married last year, so I should choose a good husband for her, although I want to stay with her for a few more years, I can’t miss her marriage.”

Huo Cong had already made a decision in his heart, so he stepped forward and said, “Sir, I want to ask Uncle Shun for something, please allow me.”

I raised my brows lightly, and my eyes stayed on Huo Cong for a moment, before I said gently, “Go and beg him yourself. If Xiao Shunzi agrees, I will naturally have no problem here.”

Huo Cong bowed again, got up and walked to Xiao Shunzi’s side, his eyes were bright, but he didn’t say anything. Xiao Shunzi put down the chess sheet and said lightly: “Let’s go.” Behind him, even though his back was facing Jiang Zhe, he could feel his eyes following him, until the door was closed behind him, that fiery gaze was blocked by the thick wooden door.

The two walked into the garden, and Xiao Shunzi stood in front of a pool of clear water with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently, “What’s the matter with you?”

Huo Cong said lightly, “The disciple wants to ask Shun Shu to kill someone.”

Xiao Shunzi was slightly startled and said, “Who do you want to kill?”

Huo Cong took out the jade bottle in his arms, played with it for a while, put it on the ground, and stepped back: “This disciple wants to kill a man named Li Ming, so he should be able to find him at the Ping An Inn in Shouchun. It must be foolproof, so the disciple can rest assured.”

Xiao Shunzi didn’t ask who Li Ming was, and said coldly, “Aren’t you worried that killing him alone is useless?”

Huo Cong said with a smile: “Fengyi Gate has vanished, and Chentang has also been destroyed on Xianxia Ridge. I think Li Ming has no confidants. Most of what he said was intimidation, but I don’t believe it. Besides, it’s just rumors. It doesn’t matter if I go out, I don’t care about the glory and wealth, I have less ties, but also less responsibilities, I won’t be like Mr.

Xiao Shunzi turned her head, her eyes were full of chills, but she had some expectations, and asked, “Have you made up your mind?”

Huo Cong nodded and said: “Yes, some things have to be faced after all, since my heart has already told me how to choose, I will not be embarrassed anymore, even if I recognize a thief as my father, I forgot to kill my father. Huo Cong only knows that his life in Hanyuan will be unforgettable for the rest of his life, and that my husband, wife, Shunshu, Laner and Shener are my relatives.”

A trace of joy flashed in Xiao Shunzi’s eyes, but he quickly pulled it away and said solemnly: “I will handle this matter, go play chess with him, I lost to me yesterday, and I am very unhappy, if you say In handicap, you still do it flawlessly, but I can’t compare to you at all.”

Huo Cong smiled and said, “Disciple obeys, please pay more attention to Shun Shu.” After that, Huo Cong turned and walked towards Jiang Zhe’s room.

Behind him, Xiao Shunzi took out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve, all of which were teeny and small, and wrote: “The person who brought Lu Can’s sword to stop Yumian Shunyi, his name is Li Ming, he belongs to Fengyi Men’s Chentang, Wei Ying’s confidant, Ming Jian The Secretary was instructed to investigate, and his person went to Suzhou Road from Zhongli to secretly meet Huo Cong, what he said is unknown, please pay attention to Mr.

Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly, flicking her fingers, and the tissue paper instantly turned to ashes.

Seeing Huo Cong walking into the room again, I put down the copybook in my hand. Since he walked in again, there is no need to ask about everything. Putting down the big stone in my heart, I looked at Huo Cong with joy and pampering eyes. After thinking about beautiful things for a long time, I smiled and said: “Cong’er, there is one thing I’ve been thinking about for a long time, Lan’er is the jewel in my palm, I’m always reluctant to marry her, but after all, men should marry and women should marry. , I can’t mistake her for life, you are my disciple, just like my family, I intend to betroth Lan’er to you, what do you think?”

After speaking, I looked at Huo Cong eagerly. If he agreed, I would not have to marry Lan’er. I thought that Huo Cong should be ecstatic to agree. “Sir, have you asked Lan’er what he meant?”

What does this mean? I frowned and said, “I haven’t asked, but you two are childhood sweethearts, and you are such a talented person. If you want to come to Lan’er, you won’t refuse.”

Huo Cong was a bit dumbfounded, but he didn’t dare to mention it, and said tactfully, “Sir, Lan’er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the King of Jia Jun all grew up together. Could it be that you haven’t considered them?”

I smiled and said: “Lin’er will not talk about it, since he is one year younger than Lan’er, and besides, if this child is with Lan’er, it will probably be a big fight, not to mention now that he already has a crush, The personalities of the father and son are very similar. I don’t expect him to empathize. As for the prince, let alone the prince. I have chosen a concubine, how could it be possible for Lan’er and him? Besides, even if the prince wants to, I can’t agree, even if you marry Lan’er, you won’t be allowed to marry a concubine or maid in the future, you have to be dedicated to Lan’er.”

Huo Cong secretly rejoiced that he had brought Li Lin as a foil.

After hesitating for a while, he said, “Sir, the concubine chosen by His Royal Highness must be a good match from the famous Shu Ai. Lan’er is also a county master and seems to be among the candidates.”

I don’t care about the tunnel: “It doesn’t matter, I have already written a book, if you agree to the marriage, I will write to explain the matter, I think the emperor will give me this face, Lan’er has always been favored by the queen mother and the queen, it should be There’s no problem. By the way, what do you mean? Do you think there is something wrong with Lan’er?”

Huo Cong almost complained for a long time. At this moment, he wished that Xiao Shunzi would solve this problem, so that he would not have to face such a problem. Regardless of whether he has the courage to compete with His Royal Highness for a lover, the problem is that Lan’er and the prince are clearly in love. , How can oneself be able to win love.

After thinking about it for a while, let’s delay it for a while. He knows Jiang Zhe’s temperament. If he doesn’t get it right, he might immediately marry Rou Lan to him. If this matter spreads, it will be hard to recover .

So Huo Cong thought about it again and again, and said tactfully, “Sir, if this matter is settled now, I’m afraid Lan’er will be embarrassed and won’t dare to stay in Xuzhou. It’s better to wait until the war is a little calmer, and then tell her, sir. Lan’er is willing, Huo Cong is willing to marry her.”

I didn’t pay attention to the mystery in Huo Cong’s words at all, I just thought that I should also restrain Rou Lan, and stop getting too close to the prince, lest the future crown prince be jealous, and Cong’er will not be troubled.

Because I never thought that my beloved daughter would compete with others for her husband, any possibility between Rou Lan and the Crown Prince had already been forgotten by me. A good memorial, said: “I will send the book tomorrow, so that the matter of the prince’s choice of concubine will not involve Lan’er, so let’s go with the military newspaper, and it will be faster, so that Changle will not have to spend more time.”

Huo Cong was even more distressed, thinking to himself, I have no way to steal the memorial, should I send a letter to the crown prince, asking him to write to the emperor for help, or send a letter to Shen’er, asking him to find a way to intercept the memorial?

”

Glancing at Jiang Zhe, Huo Cong only hated why he gave up revenge, otherwise he would not have faced such a dilemma.

Shouchun, Ping An Inn, the lonely lights are scattered, the night rain is desolate, and there is a more leaking sound in the desolate wind and rain, and it is more and more difficult to sleep, Li Ming puts on his clothes, lights up the lights on the table, and pours out the cold wine. One cup, drinking slowly, a pair of bloodshot eyes became more and more hazy.

Just when he was about to pour another glass of wine, the warm room suddenly became cold for no reason. It seemed that water was dripping into ice. Li Ming trembled, but he didn’t seem to notice any difference. He continued to pour out the bottom of the pot, but also Only half a cup of turbid wine.

Holding the wine cup, he was not in a hurry to drink the wine, and said lightly: “Can you wait for me to say a few words before starting?”

A cold voice came from behind: “I’m not in a hurry, you can say anything slowly. The time until dawn is yours. As long as you don’t want to struggle to survive, I won’t do it.”

Li Ming turned around and saw a young man with a face as clean as ice and snow with an indifferent expression, standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back. Although he was only dressed in Tsing Yi, his arrogance made people dare not ignore his brilliance, and he couldn’t help but smile: ” It turned out that Mr. Li, the evil shadow, came to solve the problem in person. Li Mou was deeply honored. It is better to ask the next to ask for a pot of wine. It is also a happy thing in life to be a spring night. I just don’t know how to have this honor when I am at the end of my life. ”

Xiao Shunzi’s eyes were a little softer, and he said lightly: “You have the qualifications, come here, bring the wine.” Following his order, the door quietly opened, and the two guys took the stove, charcoal, and large The copper jug and a jar of fine wine came in, placed them under the window, saluted and then left.

Li Ming rolled up his sleeves and started to cook wine, only to see his clumsy appearance, it was really embarrassing, Xiao Shunzi looked depressed, and said coldly: “It’s better for me to come, this kind of wine falls into your hands. , mostly burning the qin and boiling the crane.” After speaking, he skillfully began to add some charcoal.

Seeing this, Li Ming smiled and said, “If I knew that Master Li was willing to give honor, I would have been able to cook wine, but now I definitely won’t.”

Xiao Shunzi said coldly, “You’re very courageous? But since you’re going to Huangquan Road soon, I won’t bother with you.”

Li Ming said complacently: “There are a few people in the world who can let Xie Ying cook wine, except for Lord Jiang. Just relying on this rare honor, the courage of the people below will also grow.”

Xiao Shunzi skillfully controlled the heat, watching the color of the wine in the jug, but said in his mouth, “If it is an ordinary person, I will not give you a chance to talk nonsense, but you are also interesting. As far as I know, you are Huo Jicheng first. Attendant, later Wei Ying’s heart, after Huo Jicheng’s death, you still supported his wife and children. You didn’t leave Chang’an until Huo Cong passed away and Huo Cong disappeared. , go to Berkshire Chengjian first, then go to Huaixi to coerce Huo Cong, intending to murder my son, you know, either of these two things can make you shattered, but you have the guts to do it. Huo Jicheng, Wei Ying They are not outstanding people, and they use you more than kindness, why are you still loyal to them regardless of life and death?” After speaking, he poured out a warm wine and handed it to Li Ming.

Li Ming took the wine and drank it and said, “Li is a foreign child of the Li family in Shu. Since then, only Senior Brother Huo kept me by his side to take care of me. Although most of it was to instruct me to do some trivial matters, but he also pointed out my martial arts on weekdays, which was not bad for me. Later, he rebelled and established the Splendid Alliance. I didn’t want to be at the Li family’s house, so I just let him go. However, my martial arts skills are low and he doesn’t like him, so he just asked me to be his entourage, but it didn’t take long for him to get acquainted with his wife, who is also a lady, but He was forced to take refuge in the countryside because of the war. Brother Huo said that his wife looked very much like his fiancée who abandoned her marriage, so he forcibly married his wife. At that time, the Splendid League was getting more and more difficult. Very bad, Senior Brother Huo let me cheat to death, and then took me to Chang’an to send his wife and son to seclusion. From then on, I stayed in Chang’an to take care of the wife and son. When Brother Huo cooperated with Prince Li An, he also I once came to see my wife secretly, but then suddenly there was no news. Although the Splendid Alliance was still in the world, my wife and I both knew that he was dead. It didn’t take long for my wife to get sick. My wife has been ill since then. After she passed away, I took the young master to bury her. Originally, I wanted to bring the young master back to Shu, but who knew that he would suddenly disappear. Later, I did not look for him again. Huo Cong is very smart, I think he must have figured out what to do.”

Xiao Shunzi poured another glass of wine, but this time he drank it himself, and said, “Huo Jicheng is cold by nature, he just treats you as a servant, and he is not afraid of you betraying him, so he trusts his wife, if he needs it. , I will sacrifice you without hesitation, you can do it like this, you are truly benevolent and righteous.”

Li Ming also poured a glass of wine, and after drinking it, his face flushed a little, and he said, “I have no ability, I used to do whatever Senior Brother Huo said, but after Senior Brother Huo died, I was alone in the rivers and lakes. It was very difficult, and later I became a bandit, but I was not cruel or harsh, and I often suffered losses. Either I let go of the fat sheep for nothing, or I was blackmailed by others. Fortunately, under the supervision of Senior Brother Huo, my kung fu was justified. I was able to struggle and survive. Later, I was plotted against and rescued by the first boss. When he saw that I was honest, he let me follow him. In terms of martial arts skills, the person in Chentang is better than me. There are many, but the first one treats me as a confidant, and they let me do many things. Even if there is something wrong, the first one often covers up the past. The first one is extremely strict. I always open up to me, and I will never forget such kindness. This time, when he was going to Nanmin, he told me that he would not come back alive. He entrusted me with two things before leaving. One was to keep the generals behind. The saber and letter from the next hand were delivered to General Yu. The first one said, “This matter is the most important thing, and I must do it. If this matter is finished, let me find Mr. Huo and force him to assassinate Lord Jiang.” Originally, I was very worried about implicated Mr. Huo, but I repaid the kindness from Senior Brother Huo, and I had not repaid the kindness of the first seat, so I had to agree. The words that coerced Young Master Huo that day were the first ones to be memorized, and it really worked.”

Li Mang flashed in Xiao Shunzi’s eyes, and said, “Do you know that once I find out about this matter, not only will Huo Cong die, but you will not be able to escape my pursuit, what kind of identity is my son, how can I allow you to wait for conspiracy to assassinate him? ”

A look of sadness flashed in Li Ming’s eyes, and he said, “The first one said that he is 60% sure about this matter. Now that Mr. Li is here, then the poisoning must have failed, but the first one said that Mr. Huo lost his hand. Now, Jianghou may not kill him. The first person said that although Jianghouye is vicious, but sometimes he has some kindness of women, otherwise the two countries go to war and kill the enemy general. What about the friendship between master and disciple. The boss also said that whether I succeed or fail, I can’t live, so if I don’t want to, he won’t embarrass me. But after thinking about it, I still feel that I can’t live up to the trust of the boss, so I agreed, I don’t know. Mr. Huo is dead or alive now.”

Xiao Shunzi’s eyes flickered for a long time, and said: “The poison is indeed powerful, but it can’t be concealed from the son’s eyes, but Huo Cong didn’t die, and the son didn’t kill him. Speaking of which, I really admire Wei Ying’s strategy, provoking Huo Cong to assassinate him. Young Master, if it is successful, it is naturally the best, but if it is not successful, if the Master and the disciples are killed, he will also achieve his goal.”

Li Ming was stunned and said: “Do you also know that the first one thinks this way? I told the first one that day when the boy next to Jianghou was actually the parent and son of the Huo Mengzhu, the first one thought hard for a long time to come up with this method. He said that Jianghou’s heart pulse The weakest, he was close to death in the past, and when he saw Jianghou pay homage to the general, the first one saw that his heart was severely damaged again, and the seven emotions hurt people, which has been the case since ancient times. Therefore, the first one did not expect Mr. Huo to be able to He succeeded, but as long as Jiang Zhe learned that his beloved disciple would assassinate him, it would definitely aggravate his condition, and even if it would not hurt Jianghou’s life, it would at least take away his ten years of life. After he dies, Jiang Hou is very careful. As long as the first one is alive for a day, he will not relax his surveillance of Chentang, but after the first one dies, it will be different. People die like lights go out. Who would be wary of a dead person, so Let me do it after the Berkshire thing.”

A look of pity flashed in Xiao Shunzi’s eyes, and there was also a hint of admiration, and said, “Wei Ying is really powerful, and he still has a legacy after his death. If you want to come here, you won’t think of the hatred in Wei Ying’s heart, you can’t let it go even if you die, right? .”

Li Ming laughed loudly when he heard the words, the simple expression on his face softened a bit, but it was more generous, poured another glass of wine and drank it, saying: “If I can get the praise of Xie Ying, if I want to come to the first place, I will die well, too. Don’t bother Your Excellency, I didn’t tell anyone about Huo Cong’s life experience. Since he is alive, you should tell him. In any case, I also received the favor of Senior Brother Huo, and I will always leave a ray of life for him, otherwise it will be Jiang Marquis doesn’t want to kill him, and Huo Mengzhu’s enemies will never let him go.” Speaking of the last few words, his voice gradually fell, and his complexion began to turn blue and black.

Xiao Shunzi’s eyes froze, he walked up to him, checked his pulse, and knew that this person took the poison after seeing him, but it was only at this moment that he died of the poison, and he was drinking too much, it should be to promote the poison Hurry up.

He also knew a thing or two about this kind of poison. It was quite painful when it attacked, but there was no sign of it on the outside. When it was discovered, it was hopeless. Why are you in such a hurry to die?”

Li Ming said with difficulty: “I’m just an ordinary person, I’m afraid of death, and I’m afraid of being humiliated, so I asked for the poison to kill myself very early, and when I saw Master Li coming to Shouchun in person, I was very afraid, so I made it ahead of schedule. After taking the poison, if I had known that Master Li was so kind, I would have waited until dawn to die.”

Xiao Shunzi hurriedly asked: “Do you know where Lu Feng is, my son knows that he is in Wei Ying’s hands.”

Li Ming’s eyes showed relief, and he said with all his strength, “Are you asking about this? The first one let him live in Dulongze, but when I went to look for him after the first one died, he was gone, but he shouldn’t have died.” The last few words were almost inaudible, and the look in his eyes gradually dimmed.

.

Xiao Shunzi knew that he couldn’t ask any more questions, and sighed: “I advise you to have a glass of wine. There are many old friends here in Quantai. You are also a hero. Go ahead.” The pointing cut off his heart, Li Ming’s breathing finally stopped, and there was still a slight smile on his blue-black twisted face.

Xiao Shunzi thought to himself, although this person is mediocre, he is honest and sincere. No wonder he can gain Wei Ying’s trust and support him behind his back.

Thinking of this, he also has pity in his heart. If he knew that Wei Ying’s plan had failed, he would probably blame himself when he was about to die. He came here to cut the grass and root, and to find out if anyone else knew about Huo Cong’s life, so he didn’t tell Li Ming. The truth, although he came here for nothing, it can make him die in peace, which is not bad.

The thing to be done has been done, Xiao Shunzi wants to come now, but still feels lucky. Wei Ying’s legacy is really vicious. If Huo Cong didn’t figure it out by himself, I’m afraid Jiang Zhe would really be forced to face the teacher and apprentice. The tragic tragedy, if it was in the past, would be fine, but when Jiang Zhe’s heart was severely damaged again, he really took advantage of people’s illness and took people’s lives. The loss of ten years of lifespan is all due to Wei Ying.

With a long sigh, Xiao Shunzi walked out of the guest room. Seeing that the two shop assistants were still waiting for orders in the corridor, he said indifferently, “You should bury this person properly.” After saying that, he disappeared into the rain and disappeared in a flash. The two looked at each other. I wondered if what I saw was a ghost.

Without stopping at all, Xiao Shunzi rushed back to Xuzhou overnight. No matter how many experts Jiang Zhe had to protect him, if he was not around, he would always be worried.

While running, I suddenly remembered that when I went with my son to pay homage to the Demon Sect six years ago, Jing Wuji once said to himself that if you want to become a great road, you need to let go first. But thinking about the vastness of Jing Wuji and the unpredictable cultivation base, I don’t know how many times more diligent than when Dao Zuo met back then.

The figure is light, and it is like a light dust with the wind, passing through the barren countryside in an instant, Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly.

Hundreds of miles of road are just ordinary for Xiao Shunzi. The sky is still unclear. He has already arrived outside Ningbi Garden. Surprised, could it be that after only one day, something strange happened?

His heart was full of doubts, but he was sure that there was no sadness or regret in the air, Xiao Shunzi put down his worries slightly, walked to the door, and asked a few guards coldly: “What happened, you all ran out, if the assassins were allowed to Mixed in, don’t you want to live?”

Everyone saw a flash in front of their eyes, and they saw Xiao Shunzi standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, and a high-ranking Hu Ben guard hurriedly came up to Xiao Shunzi and hurriedly said, “Master Li, you’re back, Huo Huo. The son ordered to come down, if Li Ye comes back, I will ask you to persuade the Hou Ye.”

Xiao Shunzi was stunned for a moment, and walked quickly into the Ningbi Garden, only to see that the guards in the garden were all expelled. In front of the residence, his eyes were condensed, and he saw two people kneeling outside the door. One was wearing a yellow robe, which was the Crown Prince Li Jun, and the other was a yellow shirt and green sleeves, but it was Rou Lan.

Xiao Shunzi immediately understood in his heart. No wonder Huo Cong drove everyone out. If people saw this situation, not only would the crown prince lose face, but the son would inevitably be in trouble.

Walking behind the two, he said helplessly: “His Royal Highness, Rou Lan, what’s going on? If this is spread out, wouldn’t it be indecent.”

The two of them heard Xiao Shunzi’s voice as if they heard Lun Yin. Rou Lan was the first to stand up, probably because she had been kneeling for a long time, her knees softened and she almost fell to the ground. Turning around, Rou Lan burst into tears as soon as she saw Xiao Shunzi, burst into tears, and then threw herself into Xiao Shunzi’s arms, choked up: “Uncle Shun, you always love Lan’er the most, you Go and intercede with daddy, okay, Lan’er don’t marry Brother Huo.”

Xiao Shunzi just remembered the matter of Jiang Zhe’s betrothal of Rou Lan to Huo Cong a few days ago, but didn’t Huo Cong temporarily stabilize the son? Li Jun embarrassedly said: “It’s my fault, I received a letter from Huo Cong, and I couldn’t hold back for a while, so I came from Chuzhou overnight, wanting to ask my uncle to give me Lan’er as a betrothal, but my uncle refused flatly and let me Immediately go back to Chuzhou, I, I couldn’t think about it for a while, so I knelt in front of my uncle’s door, but Lan’er was disturbed, and Lan’er also came to beg, but my uncle refused to agree.” Li Jun always said in front of Xiao Shunzi. Those who dare not put on the air of His Royal Highness, I don’t know if I have thought of what happened today.

Xiao Shunzi was a little hesitant. Rou Lan and Li Jun were in love. He naturally knew it, but he didn’t think it was very important. Besides, Rou Lan was also quite close to Huo Cong and Li Lin, so after knowing what Jiang Zhe meant He didn’t persuade him either. In his opinion, the son’s order was not to be disobeyed, not to mention that Huo Cong and Rou Lan got engaged, which was more appropriate.

Unexpectedly, there would be an uproar. If nothing else, Li Jun’s departure from duty without authorization is a major culpability, not to mention letting the future emperor kneel for a long time, which is unreasonable.

After thinking for a while, he ignored Li Jun, let go of Rou Lan, and asked lightly, “Lan’er, Young Master loves you like a pearl in the palm of his hand, and it was a painstaking effort for him to marry you to Huo Cong. In the future, you will compete for favor with other women. If you marry Huo Cong, he will never dare to take a concubine. Besides, you and Cong’er have grown up together since childhood. You should know his character very well, such a good man If it is missed, there will be no such opportunity again.”

Seeing Xiao Shunzi say the same, Rou Lan couldn’t help crying: “Uncle Shun, I know Brother Huo is very good, but I always treat him as a real brother. I have always liked Brother Jun, if I really agree Daddy, if you marry Brother Huo, wouldn’t you be sorry for him?”

Li Jun also hurriedly said: “Uncle Shun, Li Jun can swear to the sky that he will never fail Lan’er. If I fail her, the sky will be punished.”

Xiao Shunzi said coldly: “His Royal Highness, you are going to be an emperor in the future. According to the etiquette system, no matter what you think about yourself, you will have a person in the seat of the fourth concubine and nine concubines. My family Lan’er is like a pearl. Yu, who has always been spoiled, how can she compete with other women for her favor.”

Li Jun was stunned for a while, then said: “Uncle Shun, I dare not say that there will only be Lan’er in the future, you are right, no matter how sincere I am to Lan’er, once I ascend the throne as emperor, there will inevitably be concubines and concubines. It is the etiquette and the rules. But Li Jun is willing to swear that in this life and this life, no other woman will steal my heart, let alone let another woman give birth to children. I dare not say what will happen in the future, but the father Now that the Spring and Autumn Period is flourishing, how can I, the Crown Prince, remain for another twenty or thirty years, and I will never marry a concubine again before I ascend the throne.”

If Li Jun swore that he would never take another concubine, not only Xiao Shunzi would not believe it, but even Rou Lan would be suspicious, but when he said this, both of them believed his sincerity.

Although Rou Lan was still full of tears, she couldn’t help but smile, she was as delicate and beautiful as a hibiscus out of water, Li Jun couldn’t help but stare at it, until Rou Lan avoided his eyes with a blushing face, and he finally woke up. He looked at Xiao Shunzi imploringly again, he knew that if there was no such person to turn around, he was afraid that Rou Lan would marry Huo Cong before his father could figure it out.

Xiao Shunzi sighed and said, “Leave this matter to me, I can convince the young master that as long as Miss Lan is unwilling, she will not be forced to marry, but His Royal Highness should not rush to propose marriage, Rou Lan is still young. Xiao, it is not too late to talk about marriage in two years. His Royal Highness has a heavy responsibility, so let’s go back to Chuzhou soon, if today’s matter spreads out, I am afraid that your marriage with Miss Rou Lan will be even less hopeful.”

Li Jun felt a chill in his heart, and immediately remembered his guilt for leaving without permission. Although there should be nothing in Chuzhou for the time being, but if anything changes, the father and the emperor will definitely be blamed. There are not a few people who are watching the position of the prince and concubine. Lan Dan bears the name of “calamity”, this marriage is really hopeless. Although he is temporarily dizzy, he is not a fool after all. He glanced at the closed door and gritted his teeth: “I will go back to Chuzhou. , but Huo Cong has been walking by Gu’s side these days, if there is no counselor for him, Gu will feel uneasy, so let him and Gu go back to Chuzhou.”

Xiao Shunzi and Rou Lan were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that if Huo Cong stayed by Rou Lan’s side, I’m afraid that Li Jun would definitely not be at ease, and Huo Cong had already served by Li Jun’s side. It is reasonable to speak, Huo Cong just can’t go if he wants to.

Xiao Shunzi and Rou Lan hesitated, but the door opened, and Huo Cong walked out with a bitter face and said, “Sir, you should focus on the affairs of the state, and ask Huo Cong to follow His Highness to the left and right and leave immediately.” Li Jun was overjoyed and stepped forward to take Huo Cong’s hand and said, “Brother Huo, don’t worry, if it wasn’t for Brother Huo’s letter, I would have regretted it for life. help me.”

Huo Cong smiled bitterly again, thinking to himself, why am I so troubled? I wanted to help you achieve good things, but I got myself into it. If you weren’t so impatient, maybe it wouldn’t be long before you could do it. Lest such a lot of right and wrong be born.

After arranging the outside affairs one by one, Xiao Shunzi walked away to see Jiang Zhe, and when he entered the room, he saw Jiang Zhe sitting on the couch with an angry expression, the black and white chess pieces were scattered on the ground, and a few books fell on the ground. On the ground, apparently suffering from Chi Yu’s disaster, he couldn’t help showing a smile, and said, “Young master has made a lot of trouble this time, but is there a way to solve it?”

I said angrily: “The most hateful thing is that kid Huo Cong, if he doesn’t want to marry Lan’er, that’s all, just explain it to me directly, it’s okay, but he has to send a letter to Li Jun, causing so much trouble. It’s really hateful, this time let him go to Huaidong with Li Jun, I want to see how Li Jun can deal with his rival in love.”

Xiao Shunzi laughed and said: “Cong’er is forgivable not to say it, if Young Master knew a few days ago that Rou Lan and the Crown Prince were already in love with each other, I’m afraid it might be possible to force both of them to worship immediately, but he I probably didn’t expect the prince to be so restless. The prince, in fact, the prince is sincere and sincere, and Lan’er has a deep love for him, why do you have to resist?”

I shook my head and said: “Let’s not talk about Li Jun’s identity, although I don’t want Lan’er to marry into the royal family, but there is another reason, although the study of fate is illusory, it is not without reason. Li Jun is a smart, sensible, and kind-hearted child. She was originally very good, but she is a little bit less fortunate. I have always loved Laner, and I really can’t bear her suffering in the future.”

Seeing Jiang Zhe’s resolute expression, Xiao Shunzi knew that it would be difficult to change Jiang Zhe’s mind this time, so he said, “Then I promised the prince just now, won’t you let me lose my trust?”

I smiled and said: “Then how dare I, if I let Xie Ying lose his promise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to endure the pain, it’s okay, Rou Lan’s marriage can be delayed for a while, but this world can be worthy of it. There aren’t many boys in Lan’er. Except for Cong’er, I really don’t like any one. If Lan’er doesn’t want to marry Cong’er, I don’t have to force her, but if she wants to marry someone else, I have to like it. Yes, but Li Jun can’t.”

Xiao Shunzi shook his head helplessly. If Jiang Zhe became stubborn, he would have no choice. It was not easy for him to make some concessions. He inadvertently remembered that Jiang Zhe had already received the imperial edict requesting marriage, and he could not help asking: “Master, then your memorial has already been handed in, what should I do?”

I was a little tired, so I said lightly: “What does it matter, if the emperor ordered the marriage, then it is not for us to talk about it. If Li Jun wants to marry Lan’er, he will solve the matter, and we don’t need to worry about it. With that memorial, the emperor can’t just make Lan’er the crown princess, isn’t it good?”

When it came to the last few words, his voice was already very low. Xiao Shunzi saw Jiang Zhe’s breath was gradually sinking, and he looked drowsy. He felt very uncomfortable when His Royal Highness came to kneel outside, right? With a light smile, he covered Jiang Zhe’s fur, gently put away the scattered chess pieces and books, and then sat on the chair to adjust his breath and rush all the way. Is he a little tired?

[End of this Chapter]
