The hot spring hall has just been renovated, and it is much more sophisticated than before. The servant had already retired, and Duan Baiyue held him in his arms: "Has it been rebuilt here?"
"Well, it's Senior Mu Chi." Chu Yuan raised his head and looked up, "He personally changed the roof of this hot spring palace, firstly to disperse the water vapor, and secondly to allow the starlight to penetrate."
"The hollow is beautiful, what should I do if it leaks?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"That's why you have no interest." Chu Yuan leaned on his chest, stretched out his hand to grab a strand of hair and said, "If I were someone else, I would be able to listen to the wind alone in this hot spring and watch the rain fall. If you want to match poetry and wine, you can't ask for the mood and mood, but you are wondering what to do if the water leaks."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Then there are assassins.
Chu Yuan put his hands around his neck and comforted: "But it's okay, I don't dislike you." Being vulgar is vulgar, and there is only one person, so there is no choice, only recognition.
Duan Baiyue took a punitive bite on his lips.
Chu Yuan smiled and wanted to dodge, but was pulled back into his arms. The two chased and fought for a while before they stopped. Duan Baiyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry and help him massage his forehead: "There is a pillar over there, why don't you look at it, what should you do if you are stupid."
Chu Yuan said: "It's your fault."
"Naturally it's my fault." Duan Baiyue said very politely.
Chu Yuan said: "Drinking?"
"Only one cup." Duan Baiyue took the jug, "This jug is too strong, you will get drunk if you drink too much."
Chu Yuan drank it with his hand: "What's the name of the wine this time?"
"Ji Ran." Duan Baiyue said, "When I was brewing Yunguang, I closed a few more jars. I didn't want to bring it to you, but it's okay to taste it."
The spirits are in the throat, and people will become lazy after a while. Chu Yuan closed his eyes, listened to his heartbeat, and fell asleep after a while. Duan Baiyue pulled a blanket around him and carefully carried him back to the bedroom.
"Go to sleep." Duan Baiyue covered him with the quilt, and Sixi also came in and extinguished most of the lights, leaving only a small glass lamp.
With him by his side, Chu Yuan was relaxed and defenseless, and soon fell asleep in the soft bedding and incense, and this time he slept soundly.
Duan Baiyue rolled over and got out of bed.
"King of the Southwest." Sixi was waiting in the courtyard. Ever since he came out of Jingfan Palace, he knew that the prince would definitely ask him about the past, so he didn't go back to rest.
"There is Eunuch Lao." Duan Baiyue said.
"The king of the southwest is serious, this is the job of the old slave." Sixi said, "Then Liu Jinde was the most favored young master in Liu's house. He was tall and burly since he was a child. When I entered the palace, I always stayed by the side of the then Gao Wang Chu Xiang as a personal guard and playmate, and stayed in Jingfan Palace for most of the year."
"After entering the palace, did he often come to the emperor?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"I didn't care about it before, but now that I think about it, he does find all kinds of excuses to come to the palace." Sixi said, "It's just that the emperor is stubborn when he is petty, and he doesn't like the Liu family, so he often leaves as soon as he sees him. Therefore, the emperor also trained the emperor several times, but it was of no use."
As for why Liu Jinde was transferred to Liaozhou, it was also because of Chu Yuan's insistence in front of the late emperor. Although Chu Xiang wanted people to stay in the palace, even kneeling in front of Jingtai Hall, he was unable to be summoned in the end. Liu Jinde remained the same. After three days, he left the royal city.
After that, Chu Xiang looked at Chu Yuan with a bit more hatred, and when Si Xi swept it occasionally, he was also frightened.
"Just these?" Duan Baiyue said, "After Liu Jinde was transferred to Liaozhou, Chu Xiangruo harbored hatred, and according to his temperament, he would probably take revenge in secret."
"It's not." Sixi said, "It has always been calm."
"That's right." Duan Baiyue nodded, "Thank you father-in-law."
"Your Majesty is not a bully." Sixi said in a low voice, "Don't worry about the King of Southwest, since he was young, as long as the two sides collide, King Gao has always suffered."
Duan Baiyue laughed: "Okay."
On the Nanyang Island, a man was sitting alone on a reef, looking at the stormy waves and the thick white mist in the distance. He has a burly stature, and his facial features are Zhou Zheng, but his eyes are cold.
Footsteps came from behind.
Chu Xiang asked, "What are you looking at?"
Liu Jinde didn't look back, just said, "Da Chu."
Chu Xiang said: "You and I will be able to go back soon."
"You can go back soon?" Liu Jinde said, "Don't forget, you and I are both his defeats."
"It's not you and me, it's you." Chu Xiang said coldly, "If you hadn't been kind and gentle back then, he wouldn't have survived until now."
Liu Jinde said, "I won't let him die now."
"What if I must kill him?" Chu Xiang asked.
Liu Jinde said, "Then I will kill you first."
Chu Xiang looked at him for a moment, then sneered and turned back to his residence, leaving only one sentence.
"It seems that my younger brother is really likable, but don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. You are not the only one who cares about him in this world."
Liu Jinde's eyes filled with strong killing intent: "Who else?"
A huge wave came, slammed hard on the reef, and swept the answer into the sea.
In the autumn rain season, it starts to swirl from the morning. Duan Yao thought it was troublesome to hold an umbrella, so she ran all the way to the residence of the old man Mu Chi, and was startled by the adults who came to the court. Without a trace.
"Young hero, young hero." Liu Dajiong's tone was full of admiration.
"This is from the Southwest Mansion." Tao Rende quickly reminded, "There is no matchmaking."
"What's wrong with the Southwest Mansion? Our emperor has been getting along with the Southwest King recently." Liu Dajiong said, "The imperial kitchen's daily cooking is either sour or spicy, so choking people can't even open their eyes."
"If you want to fight together, you should naturally have a closer relationship." Tao Rende insisted, "When Nanyang is settled, the relationship between the imperial court and the southwestern government is uncertain."
"Everything you say is right, everything is right." Liu Dajiong put his sleeves in his hands, and almost wrote the word "perfunctory" on his face.
Tao Rende touched his nose here and was angry, so he pulled someone over: "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
"What do I think?" Wen Liunian asked. While chatting with Master Zhang about which elbow is delicious, he was dragged here for no reason to judge, and he was a little dazed.
Tao Rende lowered his voice: "The relationship between the emperor and the king of the southwest."
Wen Liunian immediately said sternly: "Naturally it is the friendship between the ruler and the minister."
"It's a monarch and a minister now, but it's hard to say in the future." Tao Rende betrayed him. After all, everyone knew about the ambitions of a wolf in the Southwest Mansion. After the Nanyang attack, there was no guarantee that anything would happen.
Wen Liunian echoed from the bottom of his heart: "What the lord said is very true, and the lower officials also think the same." It is indeed difficult to say in the future.
"Did you hear that?" Tao Rende rubbed Liu Dajiong with his arm, "Master Wen thinks so too."
Liu Dajiong twitched the corners of his mouth and squatted down on the steps, not really wanting to talk.
Colleagues have been working for decades, and why haven't they discovered that once this old fox becomes stupid, it is really convincing.
"Senior." Duan Yao shook off the raindrops on her body, pushed the door and walked into the hall.
"Why don't you hold an umbrella?" The old man Mu Chi was making a xylophone, and he smiled and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I've eaten." Duan Yao squatted beside him and rubbed the body of the piano with her fingers, "Senior want to be Fengwu?"
"Yo." The old man Mu Chi was surprised, "Can you still tell that this piano is Fengwu?"
Duan Yao said: "When I was walking around the rivers and lakes before, I also went to the Qin Museum to investigate the case, and I saw many famous pianos."
"The piano shop you went to is called Feiliu Pavilion, right?" said the old man Mu Chi, "Now you can see Fengwu in this world, but that's the only place left."
"Well." Duan Yao nodded, "Is it also made by seniors?"
"It's not me, the pianos there are all guqin." The old man Mu Chi put Feng Wu aside, "I won't teach you how to make a qin today, but teach you to do something else."
"Organ?" Duan Yao asked.
The old man Mu Chi said, "Do you want to learn the mechanism?"
"Just talk, I can learn everything." Duan Yao said, "There is nothing to do in this palace, tables, chairs and benches are all available."
The old man Mu Chi smiled and said, "Then let's make a bench today and take it slowly."
Duan Yao readily agreed, rolled up his sleeves and went to the next door to carry the wood over.
The old man Mu Chi taught him how to distinguish wood, and before he knew it, a whole day passed in a flash.
Duan Yao walked back holding the bench, thinking that she would make another one tomorrow, paint it with red paint, and use it for the wedding of her brother and sister-in-law.
"Study for a whole day?" Duan Baiyue laughed after hearing about this, "I usually see Yao'er being frizzy and frizzy, so I can't sit still, but I didn't expect to be able to play chess and be a craftsman."
"Or Yaoer will have another master because of this, maybe." Chu Yuan said, "Senior Mu Chi has been saying that accepting an apprentice depends on fate and cannot be forced. Yaoer is smart and sweet, so he should be very smart. To please the elders."
"It's all said, this kid has a good life." Duan Baiyue said, "It's just that Senior Mu Chi is very old, so he really wants to go to sea with the army this time?"
"I also said no, but the senior insisted on following." Chu Yuan said, "Said that the drawings of the ghost wood box were made by him at the beginning. If he didn't destroy it himself, even if he entered the coffin in the future, his conscience would be uneasy."
"Otherwise let Yao'er persuade again?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"I can persuade all the time, but I'm afraid that the seniors may not be willing to listen." Chu Yuan said, "But with Xiao Jin here, you shouldn't have to worry about minor illnesses and disasters." After a while, he patted him again, "It's you instead. , be careful, do you hear me?" After all, he is a virtuous and virtuous "this genius doctor", and he is not scary at all when he spreads medicine all over the sky.
The King of Southwest rubbed his temples, thinking about what to use to bribe Alliance Lord Shen.
Two days later, Duan Baiyue led his troops to leave Wangcheng and rushed back to the southwest all the way.
Duan Yao stayed in the palace, followed the old man Mu Chi to make tables, chairs and benches, and by the way, waited to go south with his sister-in-law.
Another month passed, and Chu Yuan went on a personal expedition and dispatched troops to guide the foreign countries.
The commander-in-chief of the army was named Xue Huaiyue. He was a great Chu tiger general with the same reputation as Shen Qianfan.
"It's really not General Shen this time." Someone in the court muttered.
"There is only one General Shen in our big Chu, and he is the one who fights in the Northwest, Northeast, East China Sea, and can't rest for a while." The person next to him said, "Although General Xue is not a good person, who can fight with the army is better than this, he is with General Shen. Same, never failed."
Tao Rende and Liu Dajiong went to eat fire as usual. The people who saw off the army on Zhengyang Street had just dispersed, and the road was still a bit messy.
"A good meal?" Liu Dajiong asked.
"The emperor has just left, so you are only thinking about eating well?" Tao Rende said.
"Chu will win this battle, so it should be celebrated in advance." Liu Dajiong counted the coins and handed them to the owner of the fire stall, telling him to triple the amount of meat before he sat on the bench and said, "The emperor is in the driving seat, General Xue. Invincible in battle, the King of Southwest and the master of Zhao are all superb, and the leader of Shen is the best in the world—"
Tao Rende corrected: "The No. 1 in the world today is chasing the palace master." This is the advantage of reading the small story book.
"You can choose whoever you want. In addition to His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness, and the little prince of the Southwest Mansion, it's a ghost if you lose this battle." Liu Dajiong took a mouthful of mung bean soup, "not to mention Lord Wen, his It's not like you haven't seen the lip service." I'm afraid that when the two armies face each other without having to fight, throwing him out and reciting aloud will be able to incite the rebels to turn against each other.
"Ah!" Wen Liunian sneezed in the carriage.
Chu Yuan handed him a cup of tea: "Is the wind cold really good?"
"Go back to the emperor, Wei Chen is all right." Wen Liunian wiped his nose - he is a nerd, very weak, even if he eats a lot, his physical foundation is not comparable to a martial arts person. Therefore, he fell ill as soon as he left the city, and it took half a month to recover his spirits.
With a wild fruit in his mouth, Duan Yao climbed up the big tree beside the road with one hand, and carefully put the chick back out of the nest.
Ye Jin stood at the bottom and instructed him to repair the broken bird's nest with branches, and poured a few half-dead worms into it to make food for the mother bird.
The old man Mu Chi sat on the top of the carriage to bask in the sun, and he laughed happily when he saw the two of them standing under the tree like little babies, waiting for the mother bird to come back.
Tens of thousands of troops are marching, and the speed is naturally not fast. In a blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve, before arriving at Zhanshui City.
"Going west is the land of Shu." Shen Qianfeng said that night, "It's a pity that I don't have time, otherwise I can go and see Shaoyu and Ling'er."
Ye Jin guarded the fire and drew a chubby little phoenix on the ground with dry wood.
"Chirp!" There seemed to be a voice above his head.
Ye Jin frowned suspiciously, then raised his head suddenly.
A ball of yellow hair fell from the sky with straight wings.
…
boom!
Looking at the little thing that fell in his palm, Ye Jin felt a little dizzy.
"Palace Master Qin is here?" Wen Liunian was overjoyed.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly in the woods, and then a group of men in black slashed out diagonally, showing a bit of a bandit aura.
"See the Emperor!"
The voice is very neat, and at a glance, you can tell that it has been rehearsed many times, and it is very sincere.
"Why only you, Shaoyu?" Ye Jin stood up.
The hairball squatted on his shoulder, and the little black bean's eyes shone brightly.
"Back to the Valley Master, my Palace Master and the Young Master have something to do and went to Xichuan Mansion." An Wei said, "Let us stay here before we leave and give the emperor a big gift."
"Big gift?" Chu Yuan laughed, "What is it?"
The Dark Guard dragged a man out of the woods and removed the sack from his head.
Ye Jin took a closer look and asked inexplicably, "Who is this?"
I can't even recognize it, but I'm too embarrassed to send it, it's not shabby.
