Spicy rivers and lakes!

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the rules, Li Dongqing would go to Dongou King to pay New Year's greetings with the big singer.

Li Dongqing didn't sleep well yesterday, hangover and insomnia made him very haggard, the big show girl had already cleaned up, she was stunned when she saw him.Of course Li Dongqing knew that he couldn't spoil other people's happiness on the first day of the new year, so he didn't say he was uncomfortable.

This kind of physical discomfort that is neither painful nor itchy does not delay normal life, and it is not suitable to speak out to please others. It is of no benefit to the body. It is meaningless to bear it by oneself.

The big singer only thinks that he is hanging out with his friends. Li Dongqing has grown up and is not suitable for being too strict. Since Ning Hechen left, she feels that she owes Li Dongqing more, so she doesn't care much. Those who are satisfied satisfy him.

The big show girl tidied up his clothes, but Li Dongqing had already dressed her clothes very neatly, so she could only withdraw her hands and said, "You boys must have gone out to drink, and you didn't eat the reunion dinner last night. You should come back early this afternoon and have a good rest."

Li Dongqing said, "No need."

The big singer glanced at him, but stopped talking.

After Ning Hechen left, Li Dongqing didn't get close to her either.On the contrary, she had a feeling: the older Li Dongqing grew up, the more profound he became, which made people feel incomprehensible.

The big singer couldn't agree, so he had to give up.

The two entered the palace together and sat at a table. Li Dongqing lowered her eyebrows and poured her a cup of tea. At least in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were very harmonious.

Li Dongqing had nothing to do that day, so he accompanied them to sing and dance to make peace. During the dinner, the princess sent the little girl named Guo Yan to pour wine for Li Dongqing. Li Dongqing looked up at her, and the girl lowered her head. Hanging down, the wine continued to be poured, but the head was lowered, and it was hard to see whether the pour was accurate. Li Dongqing tilted his hand, but she didn't see it, and it splashed on Li Dongqing's black peony robe today.

The girl let out a small exclamation, and hurriedly threw the jug away, looking for something to wipe for Li Dongqing, but the princess got up, patted her on the back lightly, and said, "How reckless! Take Dongqing down to change A suit of clothes."

The girl hurriedly agreed, stood up with lowered eyebrows and bowed her head, and said, "Excuse me, you go with the servant—"

King Dongou noticed what was going on here and asked, "What's wrong?"

Recently, there were quite a lot of people at the banquet. Apart from the Yue family, there were also many nobles living in Dongou, and the courtiers of the King of Dongou. The King of Dongou came over and saw the princess winking at him, so he understood. , Said: "Oh, go down and change."

Li Dongqing stretched out her hand, beckoning her to show the way, then bid farewell to the king and queen, and said, "I'll take my leave first."

King Dongou smiled and nodded, and the princess looked Li Dongqing again from top to bottom until he disappeared from sight.

Now that the King of Dongou had come here, he raised his cup and said to the singer, "You are one year older."

The big singer smiled and said, "I've already reached the age where I'm not afraid of the Chinese New Year." She also picked up her wine glass as she spoke.

"But she's still a great beauty in Dong'ou City," Ouyang Yao said, "Although I say this, I'm just jealous that you're younger than me, and of course, you're also prettier than me!"

The three of them laughed together, the princess sat in Li Dongqing's seat, approached Huo Xunli and said, "You should rest easy, the thorn in your heart has been pulled out, everything is getting better now."

Her words were considered to have touched Huo Xunli's sore spot. Huo Xunli sighed quietly, looked at Li Dongqing's direction, and said, "If this is really the case, it will be fine."

"What's the matter?" Wangfei leaned forward again, and whispered, "Is there anything you don't like, tell me about it with your sister?"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to chase away King Dongou, and said: "Go, let's talk about ourselves."

The Eastern Ou King said: "All right, all right, I'll go! I'm not willing to listen to your trivial matters!"

The princess smiled and scolded him a few words.Although Huo Xunli was also smiling, she really didn't know what to do. Li Dongqing was still not close to her. She thought that as long as Ning Hechen left, she would be able to survive, but Ning Hechen left. Li Dongqing became even more indifferent. In the whole world, there were not many people who could talk to her and tell her what else to do.

How could Huo Xunli not know that Dongou King and Princess are grasshoppers in the same boat, and they would never help her as an outsider, but she really had nothing to do, so she confessed all her thoughts.

The princess listened, pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter...is difficult to say, but easy to do, good sister, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Huo Xunli said, "I dare not talk about these family matters."

The princess said: "Let me tell you, forbearance is useless. You know that the emperor sent Zhang Qian to your Dunhuang Dayue Clan to transfer troops, but was detained by Yi Zhixie on the way. I heard that Zhang Qian didn't want to stay either." , ran away again and again, but this year it stopped, do you know why?"

Huo Xunli had never heard of this, so he frowned and said, "Why?"

"Yi Zhixie found a woman for him," the princess said in a low voice, "a beautiful woman. That woman gave birth to him. Men are like this. All they want are money and women. You give him all. Make him unable to leave here. Let me tell you...you are so kind to him, you give him to practice and study, so he has ambitions, always want to leave this square inch, want to make something famous, never From today onwards, I don’t think you can do this anymore, sister, the more he wants to leave, the more you have to treat him well, but not that kind, but the coddled kind. In this way, even if one day, he wants to leave, no Walk a hundred meters, and you will know that the outside world is not so easy to mess with."

Huo Xunli gradually understood that the princess wanted to marry her.But it is also a way.Huo Xunli still wanted to ask Li Dongqing his own opinion, so he said, "When he comes back...I'll ask him."

The concubine glanced at her with deep meaning. Huo Xunli was afraid that she would feel that he didn't know what was good and bad, so he hurriedly explained: "This child...is so stubborn as a donkey. I'm really afraid that the more you push it, the more it will backfire."

"I understand," the princess said with a smile, "but if you are willing to entrust it to me, I will be able to do a good job, and I will definitely fulfill your wish."

Huo Xunli was actually still worried, but she had no choice but to say no when she had reached this point, and could only say: "If you are willing, that's naturally good."

The concubine then laughed, and turned her head to see that Li Dongqing had returned, and was about to speak, but she didn't see her maid, Guo Yan. She probed her head and asked, "Huh? Where's the girl?"

Li Dongqing seemed ignorant and said, "I don't know, didn't you come back?"

"She didn't go with you?" asked the princess.

"Oh," Li Dongqing said casually, "she handed me the clothes and left. I thought she would be back long ago."

The princess frowned immediately, stood up, asked Li Dongqing to sit down, and went to find someone.

Li Dongqing pretended nothing had happened, and poured himself a cup.Ever since he got to know Chu Zhongqi, he began to taste the joy of drinking, and his drinking capacity has also increased.

Huo Xunli sat beside him, and after a long while, he asked lightly, "I have to give the princess face."

Although Li Dongqing was not close to her, she knew Li Dongqing well, knew that he was not as stupid as he looked, and even said that he was extremely smart, so it was impossible for her to let herself suffer.

"Huh?" Li Dongqing asked inexplicably, "Why do you say that?"

Huo Xunli took a deep breath, feeling even more annoyed.

Li Dongqing listened quietly on the stage, drinking wine for a long time, and talking for a while when someone came to greet.

The concubine came out from the banquet, and after searching for a while, she finally found Guo Yan from the kitchen. The girl was hugging her leg and crying behind the door. Looking at her face, he asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Guo Yan begged her not to ask, the princess couldn't figure out whether she was treated lightly by Li Dongqing or reprimanded by Li Dongqing, of course she had to ask carefully, according to her own thinking, this matter has been paved for a long time Li Dongqing, as long as he has a good head, he should know how to do this, so as not to mess it up, so he still has some good hopes for the current situation, thinking that it's just that the little girl can't stand the frivolity of men for a while , I was too ashamed to control myself.

Guo Yan said: "He said that he doesn't want to marry a wife, and he doesn't want to in this life."

This is not a heavy word, but for a little girl, it is still a bit too embarrassing. Guo Yan wished to die, and she cried again as she spoke.

"Don't want to marry a wife?" Wangfei said, "That's all you said?"

Guo Yan swallowed her saliva, sobbed twice, and said, "He said, if I don't mind, we can be together, but he can't marry me."

The princess immediately said, "What do you say?"

Guo Yan stared at her blankly, as if to say: "What else can I say?"

"He won't marry me," Guo Yan repeated, "How can I let him be so contemptuous?"

"Fool!" The concubine hated iron for being weak, "He said that because he was sure that you disagreed! What a silly daughter! You gave him your body, and you still worry that he won't marry you? By then, Can I spare him? You are such a silly girl!"

Guo Yan listened and cried again.

The concubine felt upset when she heard this, and supported her forehead, feeling that she had underestimated this Li Dongqing, which was clearly a trick for him.

But she had already boasted about Haikou in front of Huo Xunli. The princess calmed down and let out a sigh of relief. She realized that it would be good if this matter could be done today, and there were other ways if it couldn't be done.

So she knelt down, wiped away Guo Yan's tears, and said, "Good girl, don't cry, I know you like her, I'll think of another way for you."

Guo Yan shook her head again and again, not daring anymore.

The princess laughed angrily, nodded her nose and said, "What a coward!"

After that, the city of Dongou went from winter to spring, and the yellow sand on the window sills was replaced by new shoots from willow trees, and the days quickly left and came again.

This year, there have been such a few important events, which have been repeatedly brought up and chewed as the talk of Eastern Europeans after dinner.One is: Wei Qihou Dou Ying died.Dou Ying puts too much emphasis on friendship. He offended Emperor Jing in order to protect Liu Rong, and this year he offended Emperor Wu in order to protect Guanfu.Legend has it that Emperor Jing gave Dou Ying an edict back then, telling him to "make it easier for him to do something that is inconvenient". Dou Ying took it out in order to save Guan Fu's life. In the palace, compare the two to prove the falsification.But the imperial edict handed in by Dou Ying was not found in the palace.The emperor sentenced Wei Qihou and Dou Ying to beheaded for the crime of forging the imperial edict.When it snowed this spring, Wei Qihou was gone, and Guanfu's family was also killed early; the second thing is: the Empress Dowager also passed away a month before Dou Ying's death. Said, it was all because of the death of Dou Taizhu, the emperor had no scruples at all, and killed Dou's family, Dou Ying; and the third thing, in the after-dinner conversation, the market is the most popular: it is said that Yueshi's little prince Li Dongqing slept the maid of the princess, and now the princess is under pressure and must get married.

The last thing is the most favorite topic of discussion. Even Huo Xun Changming has already heard two or three stories with different plots, but they are very touching.

Li Dongqing was eating melons in the practice field, Wang Sumin was off work today, sitting next to him sharpening the knife, sharpening, suddenly asked: "Is your grandma dead?"

Li Dongqing spat out and said, "Yes."

Wang Sumin: "Dou Ying died too?"

"Yes."

Wang Sumin said "Oh" and said nothing.

Li Dongqing didn't want to say anything either.

After a while, Wang Sumin said: "Then you can't get married this year, and you will be mourned for three years."

"Yes," Li Dongqing sneered and said with a smile, "You can also help me intercede with the concubine in this way at that time. I will be a dutiful son and will be in mourning."

Wang Sumin glanced at his clothes and shut up.

"It's useless to say anything," Li Dongqing said, and jumped off, onto the field, shouting, "Is there anyone! Let's fight!"

When Huo Xun Changming came, Li Dongqing had already started fighting, and the fight made a "bang bang" sound, and fireworks surrounded the audience.

Huo Xun Changming let out a "huh" and said, "Who messed with him?"

He was wearing a red robe today, with a lot of precious stones and pearls embroidered on it. His skin was fair, and he was well dressed, looking regal and handsome.

Wang Sumin said, "What did you do?"

Huo Xun Changming sat beside him, looked at Li Dongqing below, and said, "Go home for dinner."

Wang Sumin glanced at his clothes, meaning: "Wear like this and go home for dinner?"

"By the way, I met a girl," Wang Sumin said, "My parents heard that Li Dongqing was getting married, and felt a little anxious."

So the two went to look at Li Dongqing next.

After a while, Li Dongqing ran up covered in sweat and asked Huo Xun Changming, "What did you do?"

Huo Xun Changming said, "Don't mention it."

Li Dongqing really didn't mention it, he was sweating a lot, lying on the steps panting, his chest heaving up and down.

"I heard that the emperor sent troops to the Xiongnu and sent four generals out." Huo Xun Changming said, "Wei Qing, Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, and I don't remember one more."

Li Dongqing gave a "hmm" and covered her eyes with her arms, closing her eyes and resting her mind.

Huo Xun: "From the emperor's point of view, it is necessary to draw a victory with the Xiongnu, but the rivers and lakes have been put aside."

After a while, Huo Xun asked, "Have you heard any news about Ning and Chen?"

"No." Li Dongqing glanced at him inexplicably, "How did I hear that? I don't have any acquaintances in Chang'an City."

"That's right," Huo Xun said, "I was going to ask you about it, how could Ning Hechen not believe it? Since I went to Chang'an, I haven't heard any news about him."

Li Dongqing laughed at his naivety, and said, "You want to hear news about 'Ning Hechen', of course it's impossible."

"Why?" Huo Xun Changming just blurted out a question, but after speaking, he understood somewhat, and said, "Did he change his name?"

Li Dongqing said: "Sure, how could it be possible to be in Chang'an City under the name of the son of a criminal minister?"

Kui Huo Xun Changming has been looking for various people to try to find out the whereabouts of Ning and Chen, but no one has heard of it, so it turned out to be like this!

Li Dongqing said: "You are so stupid, how can you be so stupid?"

Huo Xun Changming kicked him, kicking him down the steps, Li Dongqing rolled down, then picked up his own sword, stood up, and pulled someone to fight him for a while.

Wang Sumin finished sharpening the knife, went down, and said, "I'll fight with you."

Li Dongqing said with a smile: "I can't ask for it!"

Huo Xun Changming looked at Li Dongqing, feeling something was wrong.None of them asked Li Dongqing if they were disciples as everyone said, and if they were really going to be forced to get married.If they didn't ask, Li Dongqing wouldn't mention it either.In the past, Huo Xun Changming would never have believed that Li Dongqing would do such a thing, but now he is not so sure about it.

The city of Chang'an was changing rapidly, Liu Che was like a dormant tiger, the empress dowager finally died, and his last shackles were removed, the Jianghu and the Xiongnu were like a piece of meat in his tiger's mouth.

The Yue clan had an enmity with the Kun clan, and the princes of the Kun clan were in camp with the Xiongnu. The Yue clan actually hoped that Liu Che would attack the Huns, and the snipe and clam competed for the fisherman's benefit.This time when Liu Che sent troops, the big singer was also very happy, but she didn't know whether Liu Che would lose or win. If she won, would the next step be Yueshi?

These are all unknown things, Huo Xun Changming has reached the time to worry about the future, he sees Li Dongqing sweating profusely, and feels that Li Dongqing has also reached this time.

Then Li Dongqing might not marry that woman.Huo Xun Changming asked himself, if it was him, for the sake of the overall situation, he would marry too.After all, they have no other way.

The apricot blossoms in Chang'an City bloomed again this year, but they couldn't help it. After a night of hailstorms, they all broke up, fell to the ground, and were trampled under their feet, a bit like a beauty buried in the soil after death.

A girl squeezed lightly into a tall courtyard. The girl was wearing a black curvy train, a veil, and disheveled hair. Only her eyebrows could be seen raised high.She floated into the door like the wind, and then into someone's table, kneeling and sitting in front of that person.

She was beautiful, but that man immediately made her look inferior.The man looked up at her, then went about his own business again, as if he didn't see her.

He was burning a bundle of bamboo slips, burning very slowly, holding the bamboo slips in one hand and a fan in the other, blowing the sparks slowly, waiting patiently.

"Are you Chufu?" Half of the bamboo slips were missing, and Ning Hechen asked in a cold voice, "Why do you want me?"

Chu Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you still remember me?"

Ning Hechen thought she was ridiculous: "I don't remember, I guess."

Chu Fu: "Of course I have something to ask you, you are so powerful now, do me a favor, isn't it easy?"

"What's busy?" Ning Hechen asked casually.

Chu Fu: "Lend me some money, fifty gold, and I will return it to you later. The money is nothing to you, right? I know that the emperor asked you to deal with Chang'an rangers, and you have collected a lot of black money from those people."

"Oh," Ning and Chenke asked politely, "what does it have to do with you?"

Chu Fu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What are you doing? Are you not from the Jianghu? Are you really going to work for Liu Che?"

Ning Hechen asked again: "Who am I working for, and what does it have to do with you?"

Chu Fu is still a little girl, no matter how powerful she is, she has only seen people who are afraid of her and people who want to take advantage of her, but she has never seen Ning and Chen.

Ning Hechen got straight to the point, rolled his eyelids and asked, "Who are you, Chu Zhongqi?"

Chu Fu was dumb and didn't speak for a while.

"Your short-lived brother?" Ning Hechen asked again.

Chu Fu lowered his momentum and said, "Since you know him, you should also know my difficulties."

Ning Hechen smiled, because he really thought she was very interesting, and asked, "I'll ask you again, what does it have to do with me?"

The people who came down from Maoshan Mountain had an unusual atmosphere, exuding a dead air.Then Chu Zhongqi is the unusual among the unusual.It is said that he was poisoned in the womb, and he was born a stillborn child. His father saved his life and brought him back to life. He grew up, but he did not have the temperature of a living person. People said that he was resurrected from a dead body, or that he was a living dead. , both.Ning Hechen guessed the identity of this person the first time he saw Chu Zhongqi. He left in a hurry and left Chu Zhongqi by Li Dongqing's side, which was the most irresponsible thing he did.

Chu Fu approached him, and said mysteriously: "He needs a medicine, I only need money, I beg you."

"What kind of medicine?" Ning Hechen asked, "It can't be the heart of the emperor, right?"

Chu Fu chuckled and said, "It's not that evil, it's a serious medicine, and I can use the formation to revive him then."

Ning Hechen was silent, and Chu Fu took it as a joke, patted his chest and said: "As long as you give me money, you can put any immoral things on my head. I am not afraid of harming my morality. I know, You must be inconvenient to do something yourself."

Ning Hechen glanced at her, she was still a fluffy little girl.

Chu Fu looked at him pitifully, Ning Hechen suddenly changed his mind and said, "Okay, I'll find you some work to do."

"Help me kill someone."

Chu Fu immediately agreed: "It's easy, it's so simple?"

"I want him to die a terrible death," Ning Hechen said, "I want him to suffer a hell on earth, torture him for at least a month, and then pass away miserably."

Chu Fu also felt that it was easy to handle, and said with a smile: "Who? Offended you, a villain?"

"Prime Minister Tian Fu." Ning Hechen said.

Chu Fu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It doesn't matter to me whoever it is... But you can't add some money? Tian Fu is the prime minister. If you perform tricks, you will be protected by destiny."

The bamboo slips were burnt to a small extent, Ning Hechen smashed them up casually, threw them aside, and said, "Second thing, keep your brother away from Li Dongqing. Don't think I don't know what he wants to do."
