The first favorite of rebirth

In the middle of the night, Xia Chengxi came back smelling of alcohol and fragrance, Tang Wei immediately stepped forward to hold his hand, and said loudly, "A little beggar came to our house!"

Xia Chengxi hugged Tang Wei half drunk, and said with a smile, "Little beggar hahahaha, is it delicious?"

"The little beggar has been poisoned!" Tang Wei anxiously tugged at the corner of Xia Chengxi's clothes, and said, "Xia Chengxi! Someone is going to poison me!"

Xia Chengxi suddenly sobered up, Tang Wei dragged him into the room, pointed at the pale Lin He, and said, "Jeyun and I went to eat, and he came to grab our lamb chops, but the doctor said he was poisoned!"

Xia Chengxi frowned, and stepped forward to hit Lin He's two acupuncture points. Lin He twitched all over, struggled to sit up, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of black blood.

Tang Wei's face turned pale from fright, he went over and grabbed Jueyun's hand, and said timidly: "Maybe someone is going to poison us, and we were accidentally eaten by him..."

"No." Xia Chengxi shook his head, and said softly: "He has been poisoned for half a month, and I have never seen this poison before, it seems to come from the Western Regions."

Pei Jiqing breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the two pale-looking children and said, "Although this poison is strange, it's just a coincidence that the young master came out to eat. It doesn't seem like someone planned it."

Then, he frowned again, "Now you know you're afraid? How did you feel confident back then?"

"You are a servant, why teach me?"

When Xia Chengxi heard this, he suddenly raised his big hand. Tang Wei took half a step back in fear, but Xia Chengxi stopped in mid-air. He looked at Tang Wei and said solemnly: "Tang Wei, I told you a long time ago, don't Make trouble everywhere."

Tang Wei said angrily: "I was almost killed, but you hit me!"

Xia Chengxi said angrily, "I haven't done anything yet..."

Tang Wei didn't wait for Xia Chengxi to finish speaking, he pulled up Jueyun and rushed out of the guest room. Just as Xia Chengxi was about to speak, the door slammed shut.

Xia Chengxi: "..."

Except for Lin He who was unconscious, only Pei Jiqing and Xia Chengxi were left in the guest room. Xia Chengxi felt Lin He's pulse and said softly, "Don't worry, I have forced out his poisonous blood, and his poisonous blood, It was indeed selected half a month ago."

Pei Jiqing remained silent, Xia Chengxi frowned and said, "Just after sending off two envoys from the Liao Kingdom, something happened here."

Pei Jiqing seemed to have thought of something, he pulled Xia Chengxi out of the door, and said softly: "How can a little beggar be poisoned inexplicably, and it's not an ordinary poison?"

Xia Chengxi suddenly said: "You mean, he deliberately subdued it to sneak into the mansion with an excuse?"

Pei Jiqing nodded, Xia Chengxi asked Pei Jiqing to sit down, and ordered his servants to bring water and wine, and analyzed: "I don't think so, the Lord of the Liao Kingdom is weak, the little prince was hunted down and his whereabouts are unknown, the two eldest princes Fighting for power overtly and secretly, the current political chaos. Liao people learned the culture of the Central Plains, learned ten percent of intrigue, and really learned the essence..."

Pei Jiqing: "..."

Xia Chengxi immediately said: "What I mean is that they should take the initiative to repair it, so as to prevent us from taking advantage of it, instead of actively creating conflicts."

Pei Jiqing smiled reassuringly, "That's because I was worrying too much."

"Can you stop worrying?" Xia Chengxi rubbed his forehead, "Tang Wei has never reassured me for a day. He was a bully in the capital. He wanted to let him study in the army, but he is still like this. If you let me beat him, And I really can't do it, Mr. Rong, don't take what the kid said today."

Pei Jiqing couldn't help smiling, and reached out to pour a glass of wine for Xia Chengxi. Xia Chengxi sniffed the aroma of the wine, and said softly: "Compared to Tang Wei, Jue Yun is more obedient, and the Supreme Emperor can feel at ease."

Pei Jiqing was startled suddenly, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean by that?"

"The news from the capital is that the Supreme Emperor is seriously ill." Although Xia Chengxi downplayed it, his tone was a bit heavy, "The day before yesterday Princess Huaiyue died of illness in the mansion... In fact, the Supreme Emperor lived alone in the palace, and all he received was bad news. Today, I am lucky..."

Pei Jiqing held the flagon in a daze, and the wine in the glass slowly overflowed from the glass, slowly soaking the snow-white stone table, and the wine dripped on the ground. He lifted the flagon in a trance, and said softly: " ……yes."

Xia Chengxi has been at the border for a long time, and he has no friendship with Fu Congling. What's more, in the heart of such a decisive general, if Fu Congling himself was not cowardly, the situation would not have been created today.

At this time, the guards came in a hurry, and he half-kneeled and said: "General, Master Zhizhou Liang is here to discuss with you and the young master about the banquet for the envoys of the Liao Kingdom tomorrow, and he is waiting in the flower hall."

Xia Chengxi patted Pei Jiqing on the shoulder, and quickly left with the guards.

In the darkness, Pei Jiqing was finally the only one left. He stretched out a hand with sharp knuckles, slowly picked up the wine cup on the table, and took a sip from his thin lips that suddenly turned white.

Xia Chengxi's favorite liquor was cold and sharp, and a biting pungentness rushed to his dantian. Pei Jiqing stretched out his hand to hold the white porcelain wine glass, and suddenly let out a suppressed sob. He looked up at the amiable moonlight on the black sky. Half a tear welled up.

In the thirty years since he became sensible, Pei Jiqing has endured a lot of hardships and suffered countless beatings, but even though he swallowed the stomach-splitting crane crest in the snow, he never shed tears.

This seemed to be the first time that Pei Jiqing felt scared—the Supreme Emperor couldn't hold it anymore, and he changed his body for no reason. Take it.

At this time, something warm suddenly wrapped around his neck. Pei Jiqing turned her head in panic, and just as she saw Jue Yun's dark eyes, the child reached out to pick up the white porcelain jug, and said, "You don't let us drink. But secretly drink."

"Can I be the same as you?" Pei Jiqing smiled back and said, "Where's Tang Wei?"

"He has something to do, he went to the living room." Jue Yun quickly answered the question, then stretched out his hand, touched Pei Jiqing's eyes, and asked softly, "Did you cry just now?"

"No." Pei Jiqing blinked and said softly, "Why am I crying?"

"Although you didn't shed tears, I can hear it." Jue Yun swept the jug aside and murmured, "What happened? When you were in the mansion of Lord Marquis, you were cut with a sword , but they didn't cry."

Pei Jiqing was speechless, he stood up lightly, and wrapped the unknown Jueyun in his arms, suddenly felt that the child was much taller.

At dusk on the second day, the general's mansion was full of noise. Dozens of maids in brocade clothes shuttled between the banquets while pushing glasses and changing dishes. Accompanying him, Yeluqiong picked up a white porcelain lotus wine vessel, and said with disdain: "It's too shabby for you to entertain distinguished guests with this kind of thing."

Xiao Yi first looked at Xia Chengxi with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the workmanship of Dazhou porcelain is exquisite. Although the materials used are not precious enough, the craftsmanship is excellent."

Xia Chengxi and Liang Qianfan looked at each other helplessly, then turned to the maid behind him and said, "Go change him for a gold one."

The maid took the order and left, and after a while, she came out with a set of carved and gold-plated tableware. A pair of mandarin ducks were carved on the cups and cups, and the eyes were dotted with rubies. It looked like jewels, and it was lifelike.

Yeluqiong sized it up and said with a smile: "The carving of mandarin ducks is not bad, General Xia, it must be that he is so poor that he took out his wife's dowry."

"The little prince really knows how to joke, hahaha."

Xia Chengxi smiled, bowed his head and said something softly, but Liang Qianfan didn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help but leaned closer and asked, "What did the general say?"

"The general is greeting his family." Xia Chengxi handed him the wine glass and said, "Dinner."

The front hall of the General's Mansion was full of wine and wine, but the backyard was silent. Jue Yun was standing alone in the garden. He put the candlestick on the stone table and bent over to blow out the candle.

Under the dim moonlight, Jue Yun raised his hand and pulled the Tianzi Sword out of its sheath, silently drawing a semicircle in the air. Then, he stood on tiptoe, held his breath, and danced one move after another. Ye Mingzhu danced in the dark night. It emits a faint light, and the light and shadow meet to form a crescent-like arc.

Jue Yun's swordsmanship was taught by Xia Chengxi, but the same set of swordsmanship is displayed on different people or different weapons, and the strength of the moves is also different--Xia Chengxi likes to use thin swords, so the moves are very light and fast; They all used wooden swords. At this time, he deliberately changed to the heavy Tianzi sword, which felt much more suitable than the light wooden sword, but secretly regretted that the Tianzi sword could not be displayed in front of people.

The night wind suddenly picked up, and the leaves in the courtyard were blown away from the green branches, and then a cold light flashed, and Jue Yun's movements also stopped, and the leaves fell gently, and were divided into two halves from one third

Jue Yun approached the leaf with some pride, intending to reach out to pick it up and show it to Pei Jiqing.

"Your sword is beautiful."

At this time, a somewhat weak voice came from behind Jue Yun's ear. Lin He smiled frivolously while undoing the bandage on his hand: "It's just that the sword technique is a little rusty. You wanted to separate that leaf from the middle."

Lin He was in better spirits than yesterday, but his complexion was still pale. He was taller than other children of the same age, but he was very thin. His eyes were sharp like knives and axes, and there was a faint amber color in them.

Seeing someone, Jue Yun immediately retracted the Son of Heaven Sword into its scabbard, turned his head and said, "Who said that? I wanted to be divided like this."

"You're not good at learning, and you still don't want to admit it?" Lin He sat aside unceremoniously, "Why are you alone, where is your beautiful little husband? You are weak and boneless, and you are as beautiful as a spring flower. It's a pity that you are still a child , don’t understand anything.”

Although Jue Yun didn't understand what he meant, he knew he was talking about Pei Jiqing, so he said dissatisfiedly: "What does it have to do with you?"

"I don't think you look like a Han." Lin He looked down at the sword, then raised his head and said, "Why do you live with them?"

Jue Yun felt very uncomfortable being looked at by him, so he immediately stood up with his sword in hand, walked a few steps, looked at Lin He again and said, "You are so lenient, if you recover from your illness, you should leave quickly."

"I got dressed and came out, just ready to go." Lin He coughed twice, reached out to take a piece of snack from the fruit plate on the table, and left the courtyard with a smile.

After hearing Lin He's words, Jue Yun's mood also deteriorated for no reason. He drew out his sword and practiced for a while, but he couldn't accurately split the leaves in two in the air.Although it was slightly cold in May in the north, Jueyun was already sweating profusely after such activities. He put the sword on the table, panted and sat down with his tongue out, looking a little depressed.

Pei Jiqing quietly approached him from behind, reached out to pat him on the shoulder, and said with a soft smile, "Little wolf dog?"

Jue Yun turned around abruptly, put his wrist around Pei Jiqing's waist, hit his chest with his head, and said, "I'm not a little wolf dog."

"Then why are you sticking your tongue out?" Pei Jiqing rubbed his head, "Okay, my forehead is sweating, and it's all rubbing against my clothes."

Jue Yun let go of Pei Jiqing and reached for the food box in his hand. Pei Jiqing put the things on the table and said, "Why aren't you happy?"

"Lin He left half an hour ago." Jue Yun picked up the leaves from the table and said, "He saw that I didn't separate the leaves from the middle, so he laughed at me. good."

"So you were chopping leaves just now?" Pei Jiqing said in a daze, "I've only read about it in books, I haven't really seen it yet..."

Seeing Pei Jiqing stunned, Jueyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he proudly said: "Yes, I am amazing."

Pei Jiqing was still staring at the leaves in a daze, and suddenly came back to his senses: "You mean, Lin He knew that you wanted to separate the leaves from the middle when he watched you dance the sword? He is a little beggar, even if he has a little martial arts, he shouldn't So proficient..."

Jue Yun heard Pei Jiqing praise others, and was raising his head to refute, when a burst of noise suddenly came from the front yard of the General's Mansion, Jue Yun looked up, only to find that the originally calm sky was no longer calm, A plume of thick smoke rose slowly from the southwest of Jinzhou City, followed by a looming fire. The night sky was dark, and the fire was magnified, almost turning into a thick barrier.

The guards of the General's Mansion hurried past, and Pei Jiqing's palms were covered with cold sweat. He casually pulled one of them, and tried to calmly ask, "What happened?"

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple!" The guard hurriedly replied: "The Sutra Pavilion is flooded!"
