Dare to lose the country and live up to the emperor II

The territory of Caozhou is not big, and the air near the sea is humid. Although the weather is beginning of spring, the coldness in the air still makes Gongsun Mingyue shiver.

It has been more than ten days since he came to Caozhou, besides socializing with colleagues all day long, he really doesn't know what else he has done.He couldn't help but think of Pon Ce, who sent Zhan Pei out to inquire about the news last night, but he didn't know the result.

"Brother Gongsun, I got it." Zhan Pei landed lightly behind Gongsun Mingyue, and suddenly made a sound that frightened him so much that his face turned pale.

"I said Zhan Pei, how many times have I told you that your voice will not scare me to death." Gongsun Mingyue was obviously frightened, and her body trembled involuntarily.

"Okay, okay, pay attention next time, you must pay attention." Zhan Pei knew that Gongsun Mingyue was scared, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Tell me, what did you find out?" Gongsun Mingyue still decided to go back to the room.

Zhan Pei followed him and told him all the news he had heard: "That Pon Ce came back this time to worship the ancestors, and it seems that the grave will be moved, but I haven't found out where it will be moved."

"Worshiping the ancestors? Moving the grave?" Gongsun Mingyue was puzzled, thinking whether to go to the palace to investigate the situation.

Just as he was thinking, someone reported outside: "My lord, the king of Jingzhou is hosting a banquet tonight, please come over to the house to talk about it."

There is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.Gongsun Mingyue was suffering from having no excuse to go to the palace, but she didn't expect the excuse to come to her door so soon.

……

In the study of Jingzhou Prince's Mansion, Pang Ce kept walking back and forth, thinking about what kind of unusual dinner he would give Gongsun Mingyue tonight, which would not only achieve his goal, but also make him unable to refuse.

He always felt that he felt different about this Gongsun Mingyue than others, but he couldn't tell what was different. Fortunately, this feeling was not very strong, and it just passed by every time.

"Yang You."

Hearing the general's call, Yang You quickly ran into the room, and called out respectfully: "General."

"How is the matter I ordered?" Ponce asked with his hands behind his back, without looking back.

"General, we are already working on it. I think there are still many days left before Qingming Festival, so things must be done in time."

"That's good." Pang Ce turned around and whispered in Yang You's ear, "There is one more thing you need to do..."

"Yang You understands, I'll go right away." After speaking, Yang You turned around and left quickly.

A charming smile appeared on the corner of Pang Ce's mouth, and there was a burst of excitement in his heart for no reason, Gongsun Mingyue will see how you fight this king this time.

The night came quickly, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before he could fully sleep. It was already completely dark, and Zhan Pei wondered if he needed to bring a few more people with him, otherwise, would it be too risky for the two of them, after all? They still don't know Ponce's plan.

Gongsun Mingyue tidied up his clothes. The lake-green monofilament gown made his face even paler. Presumably it was because of the morning dew that he got up this morning. He felt that his throat was so painful that it was about to smoke, and his voice became hoarse a lot.

Zhan Pei felt that something was wrong with Gongsun Mingyue's coughing from time to time along the way, and he asked with concern, "Brother Gongsun, are you okay? Why are you coughing so badly?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe I've caught a cold. It'll be fine when I go back to drink the medicine and sweat at night." Gongsun Mingyue coughed again after finishing speaking.

"Just now I said to bring a few more people to go with us, and you told me a lot of truths." Zhan Pei tightened the long sword on his chest, and said, "Zhan Pei doesn't understand the truth, I All I know is that Brother Yan said before he left that he should take good care of you, I can't count my words."

"Okay, you're right." Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help but coughed again, "This is just an ordinary banquet, if we bring a group of people, it seems that we are guilty, why not take you, the world If the number one Zhan Shaoxia goes, it will be all right."

Zhan Pei still wanted to say something, but he was so happy to hear that he was number one in the world, so he said no more.

The palace was very quiet. When Gongsun Mingyue and the others arrived, the food in the backyard had been prepared, but Pon Ce hadn't appeared yet.

"Master Gongsun, my prince will be here soon, please wait a moment." The servant turned and left after speaking.

Compared with the capital palace, this place is much smaller, but it is small and elegant.Leaving aside the towers, pavilions and pavilions, those flowers in various poses and with different expressions will dazzle people.

"Brother Gongsun, what is this? Why have you never seen it before?" Zhan Pei stood in front of a small pale yellow flower, and the faint fragrance spread quietly.

Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help being overjoyed, he looked at the small and elegant flower and said, "Yu Linglong."

"Yu Linglong?" Zhan Pei shook his head and continued to ask, "Brother Gongsun, why have I never heard of it?"

Gongsun Mingyue spread out her fan, showing off, "What do you know? There are too many things in this world that you don't know."

"It seems that Lord Gongsun understands it very well?" Pang Ce walked quietly between the two of them, wearing a flowing white silk dress, with a faint smile on his face.

Zhan Pei became alert. No one had ever approached him like this, and what he didn't know was that although he had never had the chance to compete with Pang Ce, he had already lost based on this alone.

As soon as Gongsun Mingyue arrived, Pang Ce had already seen it, but when he saw a haggard man caressing the narcissus with his hands and savoring the fragrance of flowers with his eyebrows lowered, he was stunned. He was a man more beautiful than flowers, Let him not know whether it is flowers lining people or people reflecting flowers.

Pang Ce walked up to Gongsun Mingyue, bypassing the hostile Zhan Pei, staring at him with a pair of starry dark eyes like water, and said, "Since your lord knows about Yu Linglong, you might as well tell me about it."

Gongsun Mingyue was stared at uncomfortably, always feeling that something was wrong, he got up and moved without a trace.

Avoid Ponze.

"This is the flower in the prince's mansion, does the prince not understand?" Gongsun Mingyue coughed lightly.

"To be honest, I really don't understand, I hope your lord can enlighten me." The smile in the corner of Pon Ce's eyes deepened, it was so interesting.

Gongsun Mingyue cleared her throat, put her hands behind her back, and said, "This is a kind of flower that is only found in the south. It is said that a group of businessmen brought it back from the western country. Because this flower grows in water, it is also called Narcissus. Gongsun Mingyue I have also heard legends about this flower."

"Hey, there are legends to listen to, I like it." Zhan Pei couldn't help but say it.

"It is said that there was a very beautiful man in the west. Many beautiful women proposed to him, but he was unwilling. One day he accidentally found his own reflection in the water by the river. He couldn't help falling in love with himself. Since then, he has never left the river again, and eventually died of love and longing for love. According to legend, the man fell into the river and turned into a daffodil." Gongsun Mingyue looked a little strange, he didn't know why he was a little sad when he mentioned this legend .

"Brother Gongsun, you said he fell in love with me? Then he fell in love with a man." Zhan Pei couldn't believe it.

"At such a young age, there are so many messy things in my mind, and they are all legends." Gongsun Mingyue raised his hand and gently patted Zhan Pei's head.

Small ripples appeared in Pon Ce's heart, falling in love with a man?is it possible?

"Lord Gongsun is really knowledgeable." Pang Ce sat at the table and waved his hand for the two to sit down, "Please sit down."

After the three sat down, the maid immediately poured wine for the three.

"I have also heard that there were many people in ancient times who liked Longyang Duanxiu. I wonder if Gongsun Gongzi has also heard of it?" Pang Ce's tone was a little ambiguous, and Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help but look up at him.

"Is the prince also interested in this?" Gongsun Mingyue asked suspiciously.

"What do you say?"

A strange atmosphere spread between the two of them. Gongsun Mingyue felt embarrassed. He didn't know how to answer Pon Ce's question. Although he was cold, but he felt that his body was a little hot.

In order to avoid the continuation of this atmosphere, Gongsun Mingyue coughed, and changed the topic and asked: "Gongsun Mingyue has heard that heat-loving flowers like Yulinglong usually grow in hot and humid places in the south, how can they bloom so well in the palace?" Such brilliant daffodils?"

"I don't know about that. I haven't been here for many years. I think it's the work of the gardener in the mansion." Pang Ce didn't care why these flowers were here, what he cared about was the legend that Gongsun Mingyue just told .

As soon as the words fell, Yang You jumped in front of Pang Ce and said, "The concubine is here."

When Gongsun Mingyue and Zhan Pei heard this, they stood up unconsciously. Since the last time they had a quick look at the palace, they had never had the chance to see the princess of Jingzhou again. On the way to Caozhou together, Pang Ce did not If you don't give them a chance to meet, what will happen to this side today?

Xiaoman was dressed in red, like a married bride, but it made her face paler, Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, Xiaoman, is this the Xiaoman they used to know?Why is she full of sorrow?Did Ponze treat her badly?Doesn't he like her very much?

"Xiaoman has met Master Gongsun, Shaoxia Zhan." Xiaoman's dignified and decent demeanor made Gongsun Mingyue sigh, she is no longer the one who always likes to fight around, occasionally loses her temper, and quarrels with others when she has nothing to do Xiaoman has changed, she has changed, she has become indifferent and ruthless, her words always have a coldness that penetrates from the bones, which makes people feel chilling.

"Sister Xiaoman." Zhan Pei called softly.

"Shaoxia Zhan, the former Xiaoman is dead." Xiaoman stood beside Pon Ce with her head down, like a cold statue.

Zhan Pei's pain was clearly visible on his face, he didn't know how to hide himself, let alone why things happened like this.

"Sit down, if you keep standing like this, don't you want outsiders to laugh at me?" Pang Ce's voice was equally cold.

Gongsun Mingyue watched Xiaoman sit down cautiously, he knew that before he figured out the situation, no matter how much displeasure he had, he couldn't show it.

But before he could speak, Zhan Pei had already put the sword on Pon Ce's neck.
