In the martial arts, there are not one thousand or eight hundred people who want to burn stars, but most of them can only think about it. It is rumored that Jiu Xuanji was built by the carpenter’s grandfather, Lu Ban’s fellow disciples and brothers, and the organs inside are full of dangers, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death. In fact, in recent years, many people in the arena have indeed lost their lives here, so rumors also It became more and more treacherous. Duan Yao had heard of it before, but he had never had any interest in the Central Plains Martial Arts, so he didn't take it to heart. He only knew that it was a dangerous and dangerous place, and he thought that it would be best to go around in the future. But he didn't expect to break in in such a daze.
Duan Baiyue put the wooden box in his sleeve and turned to leave.
Duan Yao: "..."
The two went back to the inn without words, and when they reached the door of the bedroom, Duan Baiyue patted him on the shoulder and said, "I have work tonight, go back to sleep quickly."
Duan Yao avoided him, pushed the door open and walked in.
Duan Baiyue reminded behind him, "This is the king's bedroom."
"Show me." Duan Yao sat at the table and stretched out his hand.
"What are you looking at?" Duan Baiyue asked knowingly.
"Of course it's Fen Xing." Duan Yao said, "Why do people in the world want it, and why do you want it?"
Duan Baiyue replied, "I don't know."
Duan Yao: "..."
do not know
"It's not that I want it, it's someone who wants it." Duan Baiyue said it for granted, "Since you and I happened to pass by here, we just took it there together."
"It's easy to say, take it together!" Duan Yao resented, poking a hole on the table with his finger, "Do you know how dangerous it is there?"
"No matter how dangerous it is, you will come out whole." Duan Baiyue said in a relaxed tone, "Except for being dirty, there is no other loss."
…
Duan Yao felt that if it went on like this, maybe he would be killed by this popularity before he could wait for Wangcheng.
After watching him all the way back to the room, Duan Baiyue opened the wooden box and took out a bead from it. It is not round, and the color is still very dull. There are rags around it, as if torn from the clothes of the beggar gang. It doesn't seem to have any value.
Duan Baiyue frowned slightly, and played with it for a long time in his hand, but did not find any clues.
In the next room, Duan Yao rushed out of the shower, climbed into bed, and started to sleep. He didn't get up until noon the next day, and he didn't go to Duan Baiyue, but went straight through the window and went out for a walk, buying sugar cakes and listening to books. , went to the restaurant and ordered a large table of dishes, and did not return to the inn until late at night.
Duan Baiyue is sitting at the table drinking tea.
"Here." Duan Yao put the medicine jar in his hand on the table with a "boom", "I just borrowed it from the kitchen to cook it."
Duan Baiyue smiled: "Take it as if you forgot that today is fifteen."
Duan Yao propped up her cheeks and sat at the door to guard him. A rich businessman with a big belly probably drank too much and walked around talking loudly to his companions about business affairs, but only halfway through laughing, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy holding a sword in front of him and glaring at him, the little king of Yama. He seemed ferocious, so he hurriedly stopped the voice and walked back to the guest room on tiptoe.
Duan Baiyue drank the concoction, meditated on the bed, adjusted his breath, and didn't open his eyes until an hour later.
"Will he die?" Duan Yao asked, leaning against the door.
Duan Baiyue replied: "Not in three or five years."
Duan Yao pouted: "The scourge has left a thousand years."
Duan Baiyue laughed: "I think you will think my life is short."
Duan Yao yawned hard, stretched out and went back to sleep.
In the royal city, the murder case was temporarily suppressed, and the servants and subordinates brought by Gu Li were placed in the palace temporarily. The road from Wangcheng to Anu Kingdom is going back and forth, even if the fastest horse is tireless day and night, it will take three months to say the least, and there is no rush.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Sixi said at the entrance of the imperial study this afternoon, "General Shen is back."
"Quick announcement!" Chu Yuan was overjoyed and threw all the memorials in his hand to one side.
"General Shen, please come in." Father Sixi opened the door for him, and said in a low voice, "The emperor has announced the return of the general, and the court has not been peaceful recently."
Shen Qianfan smiled and strode into the study.
In the martial arts of the Central Plains, no one knows the famous Shen Family Sun Moon Villa. The eldest son, Shen Qianfeng, is considered to be the next leader of the Wulin League. The second son, Shen Qianqian, has never been out of the world, but he is also a noble son of a noble and heroic family. It can make flowers bloom in winter. As for the third son, it was Shen Qianfan, the famous god of war in Chu State. Whether it was the initial battle for succession or the later battle to pacify the chaos, the Shen family had made indestructible contributions, so Shen Qianfan was also regarded by Chu Yuan as a confidant. He originally wanted to go back to Jiangnan to visit relatives, but he had not been away for half a month, but was sent back by a secret message.
"It's hard work, General." Chu Yuan stepped off the dragon chair.
"The emperor's words are serious, this is a matter of the last commander." Shen Qianfan asked, "What happened to the court?"
"It is rumored that you came back because there seems to be movement in the Liu residence." Chu Yuan said, "I want to clear them all at once."
"The emperor wants to plan ahead?" Shen Qianfan was a little surprised.
"This is one thing, and there is another thing." Chu Yuan said, "I wonder if you have heard of it?"
Shen Qianfan shook his head: "The last general rode his horse all the way back to the palace from the gate of the city. He didn't talk to the others, and he didn't hear any rumors on the way."
"Gu Li was killed." Chu Yuan returned to the dragon chair.
"What did Liu Mansion do?" Shen Qianfan frowned suddenly.
"You think so too." Chu Yuan sneered, "I think so too."
"That means the murderer hasn't been caught yet?" Shen Qianfan asked cautiously.
"Even if you catch it, you can only pretend that you didn't catch it." Chu Yuan said, "What else could it be?"
Shen Qianfan asked tentatively, "Then what does the emperor want to do next?"
"I have already written a book about this matter and sent people to the country of Anu." Chu Yuan said, "According to Shada's temper, I am afraid that I will be provoked by the traitors again, not to mention that this is my big fault. First, if you are not careful, you will fall into the limelight.”
"I will understand at the end." Shen Qianfan nodded.
"Aiqing is tired from running all the way. Let's go back to the house to rest first." Chu Yuan said, "As for other matters, we will discuss it tomorrow."
"Report to the emperor." Father Sixi happened to say outside again, "Master Liu of the household department has something to ask for."
Shen Qianfan suddenly stopped walking out the door.
"Go first and wait later." Chu Yuan waved his hand at him, motioning to hide quickly.
Shen Qianfan was relieved.
Mr. Liu is loyal and honest, with a big and rich belly. He should have been very attractive, but the problem is that his mother-in-law is too stubborn, and he likes to talk about matchmaking. He has always wanted to marry his niece to Shen Qianfan. , and even tried to marry him through the emperor, which was very troublesome.
So it is better to avoid it.
"Old minister sees the emperor." Master Liu held a roll of portraits in his hand.
Shen Qianfan covered his forehead behind the screen.
"Aiqing, let's go." Chu Yuan came from the inner servant to give him his seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Mr. Liu sat down, the first sentence was to ask Shen Qianfan, "Fang Caichen heard at the gate of the palace that General Shen is back?"
"Cough." Chu Yuan touched his chin, "I have already returned to the General's Mansion."
Master Liu's eyes showed joy, and he was obviously ready to visit.
Shen Qianfan decided to finish his meal in the palace, and then go back home.
"Aiqing came to this imperial study just to find Qianfan?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Naturally not." Master Liu hurriedly stood up and presented the picture scroll in his arms, "This is the portrait sent by Goryeo just yesterday."
"Do you want me to stand up again?" Chu Yuan frowned when he looked at the slim woman in the painting.
"Not this time." Master Liu shook his head again and again, "If the emperor wants to stand up, he should be recruited all over the country, and recruit beautiful, smart, virtuous, virtuous, and decent women of the right age to enter the palace, like these ordinary people who come from a foreign country. How can you come to my great Chu as the queen, and take on the responsibility of mothering the world?" After that, he added, "Besides, it looks too thin, and it is not easy to give birth."
Chu Yuan: "..."
"Cough cough." Duan Baiyue coughed in the inn.
"Hey!" Duan Yao quickly covered the small pot in front of him, for fear that he would blow his Gu worm away.
Duan Baiyue said: "My head is a little dizzy."
"Just get married." Duan Yao casually said.
Duan Baiyue wondered: "Can a marriage cure a headache?"
"It should be possible, getting married sounds like it can cure all diseases." Duan Yao transferred the Gu worms into the bottle, "Last time the third sister had a stomachache, that's what Aunt Wang said, it's good to be married after giving birth to a son. "If you like it, you can have one too.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Looking at Mr. Liu with a happy face, Chu Yuan wanted to send someone to carry him out to avoid another headache.
But Master Liu obviously did not have the consciousness to leave consciously.
Chu Yuan had no choice but to ask: "Then Aiqing is so handsome, why did you show me this portrait?"
"This woman is the younger sister of the King of Goryeo, and her name is Jinshu." Master Liu said mysteriously, "She is also of marriageable age, but no one is willing to marry. After asking several times, she said that she was interested in the southwest section. king."
Chu Yuan: "..."
who
Master Liu took the initiative to repeat it again: "The King of Southwest Duan!"
Chu Yuan: "..."
Shen Qianfan heard inexplicably behind the screen, the princess of the northeastern dependent country fell in love with the southwestern vassal king, what did she send the portrait to the Chu Palace
"What does this have to do with Aiqing?" Chu Yuan also asked.
"King Duan has always been a rebellious person, and there have been some conflicts with King Koryo." Master Liu explained, "King Koryo is very troubled by this, and he can't attract his own sister to keep making troubles. ."
"What's the way?" Chu Yuan picked up the teacup to cover it up.
"King Koryo wants to ask the emperor to coordinate and let King Duan agree to this marriage." Master Liu smiled very auspiciously, "Even if you can't be the concubine, it is all right to be a side room. The Koryo country doesn't pay attention to this, and it is easy to get married. It's done, it's done when you get married."
Shen Qianfan leaned back, and began to admire Master Liu from the bottom of his heart, saying that the media can go from the northeast to the southwest, and he is also a capable person.
