wind and earth

The two were speechless for a while.

Chengqian took a deep breath, and asked softly, "Aside from Ke'er, does Concubine Yang have no dissent?" He really liked it.

"Gan'er, Concubine Yang does have a different heart, but she will not be so stupid as to take advantage of her son now." Standing up, she took Chengqian's hand and carefully checked whether she was injured: "Ke'er is the only brother who is facing you."

Cheng Qian caressed his face: "You have protected him many times, but have you ever thought that he also has affection for you."

Press the hand on the face: "I won't." With a gentle tone, he looked at Chengqian obediently.

Sighing: "If it wasn't him this time, then it would be the father? Or that man?"

When Chufeng heard the man, his heart shook.

"Concubine Yang is indeed possible, but it is definitely not Li Ke who asked Quan Wanji to monitor." He calmed down and analyzed carefully: "If King Wu is allowed to contact Quan Wanji at this time, what do you think the emperor will think? ?” It must be thought that King Wu was wooing ministers and forming a clique for personal gain.

"Indeed, if it's really King Wu, then he's going up against King Qi." Thinking.

"Based on the emperor's personality, even if Zan and Liang under Qi Wang Hao are dissatisfied, the replacement of the chief official Xue Dading is already a warning to Qi Wang, and he will not let Quan Wanji go hundreds of miles to monitor this little salt merchant. "And Qi Wang still indulges Lan Hui and Fusang's collusion at this moment, isn't he looking for a dead end.

After hearing this, Cheng Qian figured it out, and said, "So the master that Lan Hui is talking about may also be the one who asked Quan Wanji to come and watch?"

Chufeng nodded: "It is possible." It seems that someone wants to get rid of King Qi and Lan Hui.

"Someone wants to kill two birds with one stone." Chengqian then curled the corner of his mouth.

The two looked at each other, and both were a little ashamed of the dispute just now. Chufeng took the initiative to lean on Chengqian and circled him: "Chengqian, I have to go back to Chuzhuang." He felt very uneasy and always felt that he should go back Look at Ning'er.

"I'll accompany you." He smoothed Chufeng's frown.

"No, you have to go back to Chang'an." He added, "You have to take Chufeng back to Chang'an."

Cheng Qian looked at him for a while, then hugged him: "What about you?"

"I'll go back to Prince Chang's Mansion in ten days." Chu Feng felt very uneasy as he wrapped his arms around his waist, maybe that person would find Chu Zhuang

In front of him was a sand field where blood flowed into rivers and green leaves were covered with blood. Chu Feng carried Chu Ning on his back and walked through the woods with blood on his back. The general sweated in pain, spit out the chewed herbs and rubbed them on his body, gritted his teeth in pain, and died without yelling.

Chufeng thought about bypassing the general and minding his own business. After walking a hundred feet, he found a group of hunting wolves in front of him. He looked back at what the general was doing, sighed, and walked back.

"Can you still go?" With Chu Ning on his back, it is impossible for him to carry this general on his back.

The general looked at him with eyes open, with a blindfold on one eye, nodded, accepted his kindness, and let him walk for a while with his support.

"We rest here." He took some water for the general to drink.

"Han people?" The general took a sip of water.

"Huihe people?" Chufeng asked him instead, without answering.

The general smiled and said, "The eldest son of the Yaoluoge family, Yaoluoge Xiuqi." He approached the water source, tore off a piece of cloth, and wiped his wound with water.

Chufeng stared at him for a while, then said, "I'm Xia Chufeng." Looking at this man, he was the general who unified Huihe.

Yao Luoge Xiuqi tied up his hair again, frowned in pain from the wound on his chest, and saw Chufeng give him a jade bottle, staring at Chufeng for a long time.

"How about killing you after saving you?" Chufeng shook his head helplessly, opened the medicine bottle directly, pulled off the lapel of the medicine Luo Gexiuqi, and poured half of the bottle.

"Hahahaha..." He smiled proudly, and looked at the baby behind Chufeng: "Daughter?"

Chufeng nodded: "Tomorrow you should be able to leave by yourself, we still have to hurry."

Yao Luoge Xiuqi did not respond, and lay back on the lawn with a smile

----

Li Chengqian took Chufeng's hand: "It's been agreed for ten days." He was very worried.

"On the tenth day, I will go to see Chu Ning, and then return to Prince Chang's Mansion."

"It won't work for a moment longer." He embraced Chufeng.

"Who said you're old?" Looking up at Chengqian, "You're still so childish."

"It has to match your appearance, doesn't it?"

"When we get old, we'll be old urchins together." Hugging Chengqian.

"Hmm... grow old together." Looking at the back of Chu Fengxuan on the horse and leaving.

Lin Biao on the side walked towards Chengqian at the right time: "Master, it's ready, I have sent someone to remind the shopkeeper of Bianzhou Feng Tea House."

Li Chengqian nodded, still looking at the back of Chufeng going away. At this moment, he is no longer the prince who waited for Jiufeng 12 years ago. This time, he can't let Jiufeng leave again.

"Master, Lan Hui shipped the salt cargo west this morning." There was a trace of excitement in his eyes.

"How many stones?" He walked back to Zheng's house.

"It seems that there are only ten stones, but there are twenty stones inscribed on the sinking of the boat." Follow Li Chengqian.

"Twenty stones!" He stopped and said, "Where are the Fusang people?"

"I took the silver and took the boat back to Fusang early in the morning." Lin Biao said again. He was the one who saw Miyagawa's family get on the boat.

"Leaving early in the morning?" Chengqian thought for a while and asked again: "Do you know when they will trade?"

"Last night in Fengzilou." He added: "Mr. Yu Gong in Fengzilou said that last night after the Fusang people Huang Tang had eaten their stomachs, they said loudly that we Han people beat Han people."

"Oh...your own people beat your own people?" Chengqian curled his lips and said to Lin Biao, "You said Yang wanted to get rid of me more, or Webster?" Maybe there were more people.

Lin Biao was taken aback for a moment, not daring to answer.

Li Chengqian didn't need his answer, and turned on his horse with a smile: "Boss Lin, they all regard me as a thorn in their side, and I don't even care about this East Palace position."

Ride the horse and leave, leaving behind a trail of loess flying smoke

-

In the Qinhe Hall in the imperial palace, Li Shimin closed his eyes and tapped on the handle of the dragon chair with his fingers. Concubine Yang beside him was quietly reading a book.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Picking up the book, he got up and walked towards Li Shimin.

"Concubine Yang, is Fu Yangxing your cousin?" Instead of looking at Concubine Yang, he picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Fu Yangxing...yes, he's my concubine's cousin." He knelt down and replied respectfully, still docile.

"Li Quan, the tea is cold, change it!" He put down the teacup heavily.

Concubine Yang looked innocent and looked at Li Quan. Li Quan shook his head, expressing his ignorance, so Concubine Yang half-kneeled in front of Li Shimin.

"Don't kneel, I just thought that Fu Yangxing, as a fifth-rank official, actually submitted a letter to King Qi and Junjun Zan." She glanced at Concubine Yang.

"Forgive me, my concubine, I don't know." Innocent was still half-kneeling with tears in his eyes.

"Fool, how do you know, I believe you when I tell you, come here, don't kneel." She took Yang Fei's hand and let her sit beside her.

"Since the concubine entered the palace at the age of 16, she has never contacted the Yang family, and this cousin, the concubine, has no memory." She said this with tears, feeling extremely wronged.

"Why are you still crying?" Concubine Yang coaxed, "What I mean is that Fu Yangxing wrote a letter saying that Zan Junmo stole a hundred imperial arrows and gave them to his brothers in the cottage for fun and hunting, and also handed over the interrogation certificate. I’m just annoyed at how I gave birth to such a son who made friends with crooked friends.”

Originally thought that the King of Qi would be more vigilant if Xue Dading, a long history, was overthrown, but unexpectedly he still let the subordinates do whatever they want.Before that, Xue Dading also forcibly robbed women as concubines, and killed them if he didn't like it. This matter was suppressed by King Qi, and he kept it a secret for more than a year. The emperor was furious and replaced Chang Shi.

"The emperor said... this time..." Concubine Yang hurriedly covered her mouth with a look of horror on her face: "This can't be the King of Qi. The King of Qi has read a lot of poetry and books, he is well-versed in literature, and has no enmity with the prince. How could it be so... "Intentionally or unintentionally reminded.

"Don't talk about it, Liu Xuan of Dali Temple also produced the same examination papers, and pointing at King Qi again, I will have such a wolf-hearted child!" Pointing to the blue papers stacked on the table.

"Your Majesty, this child made a mistake. The lesson we have learned as elders is that King Qi is gentle. Maybe it was the friend named Zan who made a mistake." Concubine Yang caressed the emperor's hand, and slender hand slid Li Shimin's, intentionally or unintentionally. the back of the hand.

"You are pleading for Concubine Yin and King Qi, and you don't even think about how she treated you so badly back then." Leaning on the dragon chair, she said, "I see Concubine Yin's little tricks, and I think that King Qi will do the same. Like, it makes me sad."

"It's good that the emperor knows, and the concubine won't be wronged." Leaning his face on Li Shimin's hand, he said with a choked voice, "It was because of Concubine Wei that Concubine Yin... had no choice but to let the concubine have a miscarriage. The emperor believed in the concubine. , that's enough." Tears fell down and fell on Li Shimin's hands.

Li Shimin sighed deeply, and brushed Concubine Yang's soft cheeks with his fingers: "The Wei family is getting stronger day by day thanks to the honor of the founding hero, this harem seems to be her Wei family's world, Ruo'er, you have suffered a lot these days. "He needs the power of the Wei family, and conniving with Concubine Wei is also a means of government affairs, and it hurts those little concubines who have no power.

"Ruo'er is not bitter." He lowered his head and wiped away his tears, and said, "I mentioned Concubine Wei, but I heard something from Ke'er, it's about King Ji."

"What's the matter?" The emperor asked Li Quan to pour tea.

"Ke'er came to pay his respects the day before yesterday, and told his concubine that King Ji was very familiar with a Liang...Liang Mengyu, and that Liang Mengyu was fascinated by weapons. King Ji even went to the Ministry of War to ask King Jin to show the weapons to Liang Mengyu. King Jin refused, so King Ji and King Jin started arguing, and it was Ke'er who happened to pass by to settle the dispute." Concubine Yang is like a normal mother, very proud of her child.

"Liang Mengxi?" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes. Isn't this person also a member of King Qi, so how could he go on the same road as King Ji.

Concubine Yang pretended not to know and said: "Our Ke'er has really grown up. Thinking of this, the concubine is very pleased." Then the corners of her lips curled up.

Li Shimin patted her hand: "That's right, this child is getting more and more sensible." Compared with Concubine Wei's Prince Ji and Concubine Yin's King Qi, these two losers are extremely stupid!

Li Quan came up: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and Mr. Chu have returned to Chang'an."

"Are you back?" He asked again, "Is your health better, sir?"

"According to the guards, it's much better."

"Li Quan, in a few days, someone will invite you to the palace." Drinking tea, his eyes sparkled.

"Yes."

Concubine Yang saw that Li Quan was still standing at the bottom, she retreated wisely, only if she advances and retreats properly can she survive forever.

Seeing Concubine Yang had already left the palace for a moment, Li Shimin said, "Say."

"Yes. The old slave met Mr. the day before yesterday, and felt that Mr. is not Mr.."

Seeing Li Shimin frowning: "Is there any more?"

"Also, the one who went to visit with the old slave was the king of Wu. This king of Wu was already on good terms with the prince, and his brotherhood was deep. It was natural to visit. The king of Wu talked and laughed with Mr. Chu for a long time. , and left in less than an hour." He paused again: "When the old slave was leaving, a man from a foreign nationality also came to find Mr. Chu."

"Foreigner?"

"The foreigner man took a look at Mr. Chu, then left without even saying hello." Li Quan was also puzzled.

"Which tribe are you from?"

"That man, I have clearly seen that person before, he is... from the Huihe tribe, from the Yaoluoge family!"

"Yao Luoge? Didn't you mean he's still in Lanzhou?" According to the spies' report, Yao Luoge came to marry him. The group had already passed Lanzhou, and they would arrive in Chang'an in five to seven days.

"As for the old slave's doubts, the drug Luo Ge anxiously told the shopkeeper that he wanted to find Chu Feng. After seeing Mr. Chu, he left calmly and completely ignored him." Li Quan looked carefully: " The drug Luo Ge seemed to be sneering, as if...Mr. Chu is a fake..."

"It's very interesting!" He shook the teacup in his hand: "Li Quan, our crown prince and Mr. Chu seem to be planning something."

Li Quan didn't dare to say more, for he was afraid that if he was not careful, the prince and Mr. Chu would be blamed for unnecessary crimes.

Li Shimin didn't expect a response either, he spun his cup and thought.
