Haiyan

Four days later, on the ancient road, a tall black horse galloped past, and the moon was dark, overlooking the earth faintly.

The curfew in Kyoto is strict, especially when the New Year is approaching, and the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, the gates of the city are brightly lit, and the three floors inside and outside are tightly wrapped around the thick gates.Every three steps on the beacon tower, there is a soldier stationed with a gun, and the gun and sword reflect a cold light, like a Rakshasa.

There were two soft sounds of '嗖嗖', and a black image like a night owl jumped in from outside the city in an instant. Just as the patrolling guards turned a corner, the black shadow disappeared on the dark long street in an instant.

A low knock on the door sounded from outside, and the old man who guarded the door popped his head out. When he saw the person coming, he made a silent gesture and hurriedly made a gap to let him in. Then he looked around vigilantly with his eyes. Seeing that there was no inspection, he quickly closed the door.

After casually patting the scattered frost and snow, Xu Feng walked towards the brightest place in the courtyard, and the servant opened the door. In the room, Yin Ping was bending over and writing something on the table. Hearing the movement, his head Without looking up, he asked, "Has everything been arranged properly?"

Xu Feng took off the turban wrapped around his head, revealing a face about his age, and said respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Chi will do all the work now, and the Thousand Iron Buddhas will be able to drive away later." arrive."

Yin Ping straightened up to look at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you come with me?"

Xu Feng said: "The heavy armor is too fast to be noticed on the road. In three days, it will be the day when the new emperor ascends the throne. I am afraid that I will not be able to make it in time, so I will report to the king first."

Yin Ping nodded and asked, "Is there any news from Yuezhou when you came here?"

Xu Fengdao: "Mr. Zhu and the others have already contacted, and the specific situation has not yet come to my side... But I heard that the adopted son of Liang Guoying was sent by the Western Han Dynasty this time, and that young man is very powerful. I temporarily suppressed the situation over there, and I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Yin Ping snorted coldly: "Didn't the Central Army over Chishui also beat our army back in a row?! How can we relax if we don't give them a little bit of sweetness?"

Xu Feng bowed and said, "Yes."

Yin Ping lowered his head and continued to write, Xu Feng stood aside for a long time, and said: "There is news that I have to report to the king."

Yin Ping gave an 'en' without raising his head, and Xu Feng said, "There have been no clues about the son's whereabouts these years. Got some news."

The person lying on the shore raised his head abruptly, and the ink on the tip of the pen condensed into drops of water and melted on the paper. He fixed his eyes on the young man in front of him, and asked, "What do you say?"

Xu Feng said cautiously: "Over the years, that Heluo man has traveled many places. When he came back and passed by Jiuyi Mountain, he accidentally ran into a slave who was serving Fuxi's descendant Kuang Zichu on the mountain. When the slave was chatting with him Inadvertently mentioned a young man who was brought from the Western Han Dynasty ten years ago. The Heluo people wanted to ask in detail, but the slave seemed to have sensed a slip of the tongue and left in a hurry... Wang, although there is nothing too much There is a lot of news, but Mr. Chi thinks that, judging from the time and the attitude of the slave, the young man who was taken from the Western Han Dynasty is very likely to be our missing son."

Yin Ping stared quietly at the heavy snow outside the house in a daze, Xu Feng stood aside and dared not speak anymore, in mid-November, the weather in the Western Han Dynasty was already very cold, and he was used to living in the south these years, but it was a bit uncomfortable for a while. Too used to this cold.

Lowering his eyelids, Yin Ping said, "Don't let go of any news."

Xu Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Mr. Chi has sent people to Jiuyi Mountain to investigate, but it may take longer."

Yin Ping: "Jiuyi Mountain has been the territory of Fuxi's descendants for hundreds of years. They are born to understand hexagrams, know secrets, and master magic circles. It is difficult for ordinary people to find their traces...I don't care what you use. The method is to find the person."

Xu Feng responded seriously and didn't speak any more.

Yin Ping came out from behind the table and opened the two doors. The cold wind rushed in instantly, chilling his entire body.

Standing with his back to the lights, Yin Ping suddenly asked him: "Did you think of him again in these years?"

Xu Feng trembled violently, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't dare to forget for a day."

Yin Ping nodded and said softly, "Me too..."

Xu Feng's originally silent face suddenly showed a trace of sadness, his eyes were slightly red and he said: "If the little prince Changsheng is alive in the sky, he will surely bless us to find the son as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he suddenly bowed deeply to Yin Ping, who was standing with his back facing him, and said in a deep voice, "The Yebei Eagle flag will be displayed again in Beilu!"

·

Wang Yu's fortification became stricter day by day.

The new emperor ascended the throne three days later, and all the envoys from various countries had already moved into the palace that had been arranged. Li Su was wearing a snow-white fur coat and was talking to a commander-in-chief on the main road when he saw a middle-aged man in a black robe. Walking in slowly, the commander raised his head first, as if he knew the person, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he said, "General Zhang."

Li Su turned his head to look at him. He has three courts and five eyes, and his body is very strong. The rest is nothing special, except for the Yingying sword on his waist, which is very eye-catching, and it glows light blue under the firelight. .

As if he didn't even ask, Li Su nodded slightly at him with a blank face, and said: "It's late at night, the general won't go to his own bedroom, this person is not familiar with the place, in case he recognizes the life of the Imperial Army Misunderstood, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

The man on the opposite side raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "You know me?"

Li Su said indifferently: "I dare not not recognize the demeanor of the number one general in Southern Chu."

The middle-aged general smiled and said, "You are... Li Su?"

Li Su nodded, as if unwilling to talk too much.

The middle-aged man said with emotion: "It's you. When you were in Yebei ten years ago, the look on your face was like this. I didn't expect that after so many years, there has been no change. It's just that you are taller than before. few."

Li Su frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his words, but he didn't want to explain much, he just said: "Young general, I have forgotten. Ten years ago, the general almost used his identity as a Taoist priest to hide Everyone, let Su's eyes open."

Zhang Zongyi laughed twice, and said: "It's all in the past, so don't mention it..."

Li Su nodded and walked past him. The two were about the same height, but Li Su was much thinner and looked half shorter than him. Bian whispered: "Haven't you been looking for Yin Ping all these years?"

Li Su's original forward steps suddenly stopped, he turned his head to look at him, and said solemnly: "General, if you have anything to say, you may as well speak directly."

Zhang Zongyi smiled and said: "I have a lot to say, but I wonder if General Hongying has time to listen to me in detail?"

"It seems that the general came prepared?!" Li Su said coldly.

Zhang Zongyi didn't care much and said: "So what? If the proton is willing, what does it matter if I am prepared or not?"

Li Su squinted at him and said, "Then there is General Lao..."

The brazier in the Nuan Pavilion was burning brightly, the little eunuch closed the stove lightly, and then went out. In the bedroom, there were only two people sitting cross-legged and looking at each other, neither of them wanted to speak first.

"This tea is not bad, try it."

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Zongyi pushed the teacup on the table towards Li Su's eyes, and finally spoke.

Taking a sip unhurriedly, Li Su raised his eyelids to look at him and asked, "What about the conditions?"

Zhang Zongyi was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed in a low voice: "You have such a city at such a young age, but I underestimated you... Drink tea first, and talk about it later."

Li Su lowered his eyelids, and suddenly regretted what he had asked just now. After all, he was a little impatient and didn't hold his breath. He said his thoughts too quickly, which is not a good thing.

"The green cicada before the Ming Dynasty was taken from a cluster of pistils, cooked on a high fire, and some Lingxiang was added. The taste is good, but it covers the original tea flavor, so it is not a good tea."

He just took a sip, then put down the cup in his hand, as if he didn't want to touch it again.

Zhang Zongyi had already finished drinking a cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "After all, we are the children of the aristocratic family. We warriors are still not as good as you. If you ask me, this tea smells good and tastes good. It is good tea. Why are you so particular about it?"

Li Su said indifferently: "I don't dare to mention it because I'm particular about it, but it's just some small preferences, which will make the general laugh."

Zhang Zongyi laughed loudly and said, "I don't dare to make fun of General Hongying, but I'm just telling the truth...you can try this pastry, it's not bad, it's much more delicious than those made by the royal chefs in our palace , I don’t know if it’s because I don’t like sweets, but I always feel that the sweet and greasy stuff is for children, but it’s the cakes in Wangyu, which are refreshing and easy to eat.”

Li Su remained motionless, completely ignoring the food Zhang Zongyi handed over, and said: "Su is not interested, the general can just keep it for himself."

Zhang Zongyi: "Why are you being so polite? Although I didn't say a few words to you when I was young, now that we meet, I feel that you are more kind than others. If you don't like it, I will eat it myself."

He unashamedly swallowed the pastry in one gulp. After a while, he seemed to be stuck in his throat, and quickly took a few mouthfuls of tea. His posture was very casual, and there was no trace of the demeanor of a famous general. Li Su couldn't grasp it for a while. See through his details.

The two remained silent for a long while. Zhang Zongyi admired the good temperament of the young man in front of him. After eating and drinking, he finally said, "You know that Yin Ping is still alive, don't you?"

Li Su didn't find it strange to ask such a straightforward question, and nodded, "That's right."

Zhang Zongyi: "When did you know?"

Li Su: "I've always known it."

Zhang Zongyi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? How should I say it?"

Li Su: "If you don't have the ability to live in this world, you would have died by Liang Guoying's knife, and you don't have to wait another ten years."

Zhang Zongyi: "That's true, but you seem to be sure where he is?"

Li Su: "I'm sure I don't dare to say it, I just guessed it roughly. The second prince's good skills, concealing the world, covering the sky with one hand, is really admirable."

Zhang Zongyi said with a smile: "My students are naturally different."

Li Su sneered and said, "Where is the general when the capital of the Great North was broken?"

Zhang Zongyi: "Naturally, I fled back to Southern Chu ahead of schedule."

Li Su followed closely: "What about after that?"

Zhang Zongyi gave him a hint of admiration, and said, "Proton is so good at guessing so much."

Li Su said indifferently: "There are very few people in this world who can defeat Liang Guoying. At most, the second prince of Beilu was good at martial arts, not very powerful. With so many Western Han pursuers, I don't believe how brave he is. Can one man be in charge?"

Zhang Zongyi said proudly: "The proton was wrong. My good student is indeed brave enough to be a husband."

Li Su raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What does the general mean by that?"

Zhang Zongyi shook his head meaningfully and said, "Of course this cannot be easily explained, but I would like to ask the proton why you are looking for Yin Ping?"

Li Su: "The general might as well tell me, how did you know I was looking for him?"

Zhang Zongyi smiled and said, "It's just a guess."

Li Su: "Su looking for the second prince is just idle and bored."

Zhang Zongyi said: "Proton is really unwilling to suffer. It seems that if I don't come up with some conditions, Proton will not tell the truth."

Li Su: "That depends on the general's sincerity."

Zhang Zongyi: "I am willing to tell the proton where Yin Ping is, but the proton has to promise me one condition, how about it?"

Li Su raised his chin, motioning for him to say.

Zhang Zongyi said: "I exchange Yin Ping's traces for Beilu Shizi's whereabouts, what does General Hongying think?"

The author has something to say: You might as well guess who Xu Feng is...
