I am pretending to be a villain in the world of cultivating immortals

The army returning to the imperial court gradually receded, and Hei Niang wondered where this image came from.

But the surrounding flames kept burning, and she was surrounded by red fire butterflies, looking at the past that had never been known.

Outside a courtyard of the Marquis Mansion, Hu Xiaotai, dressed in blue, was fiddling with tasseled spears and iron rods, axes, knives and forks on the weapon rack, as if she was angry with her parents, and she was a matchmaker for her.

Earlier, he had already made it clear that Xu Yingshan would not marry.

The two of them expressed their affection to each other when they came back from the battlefield. Yingshan was overjoyed to know that she was a daughter, and even told her the feelings buried in his heart.

"Little Moss, even if you're not a woman, I've long been in love with you, but I've never known your thoughts, and I'm afraid I'll let you down."

As soon as this remark came out, Hu Xiaotai immediately shed tears. The man in front of her loved her with deep affection, which made the so-called normal ethics and scary words become a joke.

Knowing what you mean, what can she ask for?

So you can only give her as much as you give her, and how much she gives you in return.

It's a pity that the situation in the court is changing, the sage is critically ill, and the crown prince is assisting the government. Seeing that it is the emperor and courtiers again.

Lord Hu Hou is not a party of princes, and now that he has lost power, he is always looking for new support.

And Wen's lineage is a close minister of the prince, with a son named Cai, who was [-] years old. He was favored by the emperor in the front of the palace examination, and won the title of number one scholar.

Therefore, everyone in the world knows that the waiter is so talented and talented that he has become the dream of many daughters.

Even so, she, Hu Xiaotai, sneered at the servant boy whom she had never met, and threw the throwing knife in her hand, which happened to hit the lacquered wooden pillar, causing the two or three pedestrians in the corridor to stop in their tracks.

"Little Moss, how can you be so rude!" The eldest son of the Hu family, seeing the flying knife brushing Wen Shilang's cheek and sinking into the pillar, felt his heart skip a beat, and hurriedly taught his younger sister a lesson.

Hu Xiaotai didn't know the servant's appearance, so she thought it was her elder brother who was making friends with the dignitaries in the court, so she reluctantly gave a female gift, then retreated to the boudoir, and closed the door to see no guests.

Maid Ren invited her a few times, but she only said, "Whoever you like to marry, I only like the one I like. Even if you blow that person to the sky, you are still a scholar. If the enemy army comes in the future, you will marry me." If the servant can guard the land under his feet and the people in the city, if he can't protect me, how can I marry him?"

When this word reached Wen Shilang's ears, the gentle young man in a green shirt was tending all kinds of orchids in the yard.

The last time he met the girl who made him dream about in Hou Ye's mansion, Hu Xiaotai's depressed and troubled look was engraved in his mind.

Wen Shilang was deceived by the people of Lord Hou's mansion, only heard that Hu Xiaotai had an elder brother who got along very well in the army, it was not the love between men and women as rumored by the outside world.

Knowing that he is good at literature and weak in martial arts, he will not be able to please his sweetheart, so he sent someone to inquire about Xiaotai's preferences, and only then did he plant this garden full of orchids.

Wanting to apologize to the heroine, but also daring to try to smile beautifully.

Hei Niang looked at Wen Shilang taking care of the flowers and plants carefully, the faint smile on his lips, like an idiot indulging in a dream, coincided with the loose man in a boat in front of him.

A little more lonely and clear bones, and a little less fireworks and anger.

"Come back, Xiaotai." A red fire butterfly landed on the palm of Bo Zhou Sanren, he called, begging for those memories to return to the lantern.

But those red butterflies that kept gushing out of the lantern were entangled with each other, like a pair of lovers who hadn't seen each other for a long time, falling straight towards the sea of ​​flames.

The scene in front of Hei Niang's eyes changed, it was the Lantern Festival, alleys and streets were hung with gauze lanterns, big and small, celebrating together.

Beside the lamp stand, the peddler yelled, young men and women who want to pass by, buy a lamp for their sweetheart, hoping for a long time, and their love will never change.

"Boss, I want that orchid lantern." Two voices sounded at the same time.

The peddler looked at the two standing under the lamp stand, one was wearing a plain robe with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he looked like a general, and the other was a nobleman in a green crown and brocade clothes, he was probably a son of a family, and he could spend a lot of money.

Seeing the hawker's embarrassment, Wen Shilang took a look at the meticulously crafted lantern, "Brother, please go ahead."

Xu Yingshan didn't seem to expect that this elegant young master would be willing to give up his love, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you young master for letting me go, my sister has always liked this orchid, I searched for a long time to find this one, so I'm sorry."

"A gentleman does not take away what others love. I wish you brother and the person you like to stay together forever." Hearing the waiter's return, seeing the joyful look of the man in front of him mentioning the person he loves, he couldn't help thinking of the time when he sent someone to Hou All the orchids in the mansion were returned intact.

The little servant girl who came to talk to him also sighed and said to him, "Why should the servant make things difficult for others, miss, she..."

The little maid hesitated to speak, thinking of Master Hou's repeated instructions, but she finally didn't mention the matter between Yingshan and Xiaotai, and persuaded: "Miss, she doesn't like you, no matter how expensive orchids you give, no matter how much you pay What's the use of thinking?"

That night, Wen Shilang tasted these words and got drunk all night, even the ceremony of "asking names" that the mansion had ordered people to start was also ordered to stop.

Although he understood that the Marquis' Mansion and Wen's family were married, it didn't mean that he liked Hu Xiaotai when Wen Cai was happy.

Lord Hu Hou wanted to climb his branch, and he sent his daughter away, not to mention, to show his determination to the prince, and his intention to surrender was obvious.

Although he was willing to see such a situation in his heart, he also knew that as long as he opened his mouth to be a guarantor for the Marquis Mansion, Hu Xiaotai would definitely marry him as his wife because he couldn't shake his parents' orders.

However, he didn't want to force it, because he had been the prince's companion since he was a child, and he had seen many bloody storms in the court, so he wanted to protect that man well.

Thinking back three years ago, at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he stood behind the prince and only looked at that blue shadow on the school grounds.

A woman holding a red-tasseled spear rode her horse to fight the generals brought by the envoys of other countries. When the tasseled spear flashed and knocked the enemy off the horse, the pride and heroism in the woman's eyes shocked him.

Since then, he has been sending people to inquire about Hu Xiaotai's identity, and he knows that she is the only daughter of the Hou family. According to the original intention of the Hou Ye, he originally wanted to send her to the deep palace to accept the emperor's favor and consolidate the power of the Hou family.

But Hu Xiaotai was born rebellious, a mere girl, but she has been scolded by many families.

In exchange for freedom, she would rather cut her cheeks, disguise herself as a man and secretly throw herself into the military camp, rather than be a bird in a cage.

This time the class teacher returned to the court, once the good story spread, it attracted countless literati and poets to praise it.

Just because the woman he loves is the most dazzling existence in the city, if he breaks the most proud flying wings in the world like others, then he is not worthy of loving her.

Therefore, he can only wait silently, and treat her as well as possible, maybe one day...

Wen Shilang was stunned for a moment.

"I want this lamp." Xu Yingshan paid the money, thinking that if he took this lamp, Hu Xiaotai would be delighted to see him later.

He was about to move towards the direction of the Marquis' Mansion, but he saw the brother on duty in the palace rushing over, dragging him towards the palace, saying that the day might change.

Knowing the meaning of this sentence, Xu Yingshan's hands trembled, and the orchid lantern fell to the ground. Before he could even pick it up, he followed his brothers to the high enclosure wall where people can't spit out bones.

I heard from that person that the emperor was critically ill, and he planned to pass on the crown prince, but the third prince Huan suspected that the order was wrong, so he led the troops into the palace to fight against the prince's imperial army in Yeting.

At that time, Hu Houye reported the disobedience of the third prince to the prince. The prince ordered Hu Houye to go to Yeting to persuade the third prince to submit to the new emperor in order to test the loyalty of the prince.

When Lord Hu met the third prince, he was supposed to be a villain who had betrayed the old master, but the prince sent people to follow behind Lord Hou, slandering him with empty teeth for conspiring with the prince, intending to usurp power.

Huhou was startled, and realized that this plan was a trap set by the new emperor to completely wipe out the lineage of the third prince.

The fierce rhetoric from both sides made the situation that could not be eased even more tense.

In the end, the third prince forcibly broke into the palace and fell into the prince's arms. The new emperor issued an order, and the imperial army executed the princes Huan and Huhou in front of the palace gate.

The eldest son of the Hu family lost his dignity in front of the palace because of this matter.

When Hu Xiaotai heard the bad news, she rode her horse into the palace at night to save her brother's life.

She was also doomed, but was stopped outside the imperial city by a group of brothers she met on the battlefield in the past.

When Xu Yingshan arrived, Hu Xiaotai had already started fighting with those who stopped her.

At this time, the news came out from the palace, saying that the eldest son of the Hu family was hit by a hundred sticks, only half of them were beaten, and he died of anger.

On the second day, Hu Xiaotai, dressed in hemp and mourning, knelt in the courtyard, listening to the new emperor's will.

The Hou's house was ransacked, and all official titles were removed, but she, the daughter of a criminal minister, was spared her life. She claimed that she had meritorious service in the war, so the merits and demerits were equal and no further investigation would be pursued.

Hu Xiaotai kowtowed for the emperor's grace, but there was sarcasm in her eyes, she never expected that she had fought for half her life just to not be burdened by the power, but in the end it was just a paper of grace, which made her hate and complain.

After being depressed for more than three months, another battle report came from the front. Xu Yingshan was ordered to go out, and Hu Xiaotai put on his battle armor again, and went with the army as an ordinary soldier of the Tianquan Kingdom.

The new emperor succeeded to the throne, put down the rebellion of the three princes, and several ministers in the court were implicated in this, and were imprisoned one after another. In addition, the enemy country sent troops to harass.

No one would have noticed that on the night of Huhou's accident, Wen Shilang, who was said to be a dragon and phoenix, also disappeared.

Let's talk about that day, Wen Cai picked up the lantern that Xu Yingshan left behind. He wanted to stop the figure who was leaving in a hurry, but found that the other party seemed to have something important to do and had no time to pay attention to him.

He took the lantern and stood there waiting for a while, thinking that after the man finished dealing with the matter, he might come back to look for it.

Unexpectedly, what he waited for was the servant at home to report that there was a change in the palace.

Hearing this, he was worried about the safety of Hu Xiaotai and the crown prince, but when he rushed to the palace gate, he saw the man who threw down the orchid lantern, hugging Hu Xiaotai who had fainted, and the two of them rode together, He passed by.

I heard someone mention the name of Pioneer.

Seeing the concern and pain in Xu Yingshan's eyes for Hu Xiaotai, Wen Shilang laughed at himself.

It turned out that he was stupid, why did he believe the lies of Mr. Hu's family, which is full of loopholes, what a brotherhood is, not a relationship between a man and a woman.

Perhaps, he should have found clues in all kinds of rumors in the market, but he has been wishful thinking and deceiving himself, so he is unwilling to believe this fact, and has become the villain who broke people's marriages.

When he was heartbroken, he feared that the prince would be hurt, so he stopped for a moment and went to the palace to check.

I saw that the young man who was usually sick and reticent and not good at fighting, sat on the dragon chair and invited him to watch the tragic scene of the prince Huan Wan's arrow piercing his heart.

After the new emperor drank a glass of strong wine, he asked the servant if he blamed him for his cruelty. He had received news a few days ago that Hu Hou intended to marry his only daughter to the Wen family.

But right now, he killed the father and son of the Hu family, and the infatuated Wen Shilang is a close minister of the emperor, but now he has become an enemy with the daughter of the Hu family.

Knowing that the emperor was probing him, Wen Cai hurriedly knelt down on the ground, saying that his Wen family has been favored by the emperor for generations, and he has no second thoughts, and that his admiration for Hu Xiaotai is just his wishful thinking, which has nothing to do with the Wen family or the government. It has nothing to do with the woman whose heart has already been promised to others.

If the emperor still misses the old love of his youth and saves Hu Xiaotai's life, for the peace of the king's heart, he is willing to resign from office and go back to seclusion, not to care about world affairs.

The emperor saw that he was kneeling very low, and suddenly there was a smile on his face, because he was coerced by others when he was young, and even though he was a prince, he was a puppet, so once he ruled the world, he would not tolerate any power around him that could influence the imperial power.

And the person under his feet has good talent, good temper, good looks and family fortune, and is known by the world as a dragon and phoenix among men.

It's ridiculous that he is of royal blood, and now he is the emperor, he will still be inferior to a layman, and he will be jealous.

But such a perfect person would actually be a lover, and would bow down for a woman.

"Wen Shilang, that's all!" The emperor seemed to have grasped someone's weakness, and he walked forward quite reassuringly, and helped this person who grew up with him since he was a child. , the noble son who is unwilling to bow down to the imperial power.

He said that the emperor's kindness is great, and he is willing to bestow marriages for the assistant minister and the daughter of the Hu family. He only hopes that those who kneel down will always remember the word "junchen".

"You made the girl laugh." Bo Zhou Sanren waved the Langhao pen in his hand, drawing a bloody mouth on the palm of his hand.

Stained with those bloodstains, he wrote a return on the talisman paper, and thousands of red butterflies turned into a firework, and the lantern was forcibly taken back.

Hei Niang was silent, but looked up at the sky, where Yu Huaiyin was fighting with Zhihe, "If you really want to know where the bow and arrow in my hand come from, then follow me to help that Taoist, there is only one dead man on the left and right." Words, if we still live, I will tell you the truth."
