Bright moon out of Tianshan

Xiao Xuefei laughed and said, "Sister doesn't understand anymore, what does he want Taiyuan for?"

Xiao Jian stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and said: "You don't understand this. The ancients said that Taiyuan controls the mountains and rivers, occupies the shoulders of the world, is the root of the east of the river, and is the battleground for military strategists. West can go Chang'an Road goes directly to Chang'an along the Fenhe River Valley. Going north to Yanmen, you can go straight to the outside of the Great Wall. Going east to Guangchang Road, it connects Youzhou, and going south to Taihang Road, you can reach Luoyang. Surrounded by mountains, the pass is dangerous, and you can attack it when you enter it, and you can defend it when you retreat. , the most important thing is..." He glanced at Xiao Xuefei, and said: "Shanxi people are rich, there are many big merchants, and the business has gone to Persia, otherwise where did the Persian beauties around the emperor come from? I heard They were all dedicated to him by merchants. Emperor Zhao is famous for being fun, fighting, fighting, and repairing the palace. I heard the reputation of "Splendid Taiyuan City" in Jinling. , it’s almost time to reach Jinling City University. After so many years of tossing around, where did all this money come from?”

Xiao Xuefei sneered: "You're right, no wonder you don't want to leave. You have already escaped, but now you are running back, it seems that you plan to throw yourself into the arms of His Majesty the Emperor." Looking around in his bedroom, he said: "Yes, yes, this Mingjie Hall doesn't look very good from the outside, but from the furnishings inside, Zhao Yuancai's bedroom is nothing more than that." He stretched out his feet and stomped on the long-haired Persian carpet on the ground, Complained: "Xiao Tiantian, go and see my sister's humble house, the bedding on my bed is not as elegant as yours!"

Xiao Jian frowned and said: "I'm telling you seriously, what are you talking about? These are all external things, what's there to care about?"

Xiao Xuefei said: "Aren't women like this? Jealous and jealous, gossiping, if you want to get me here, just be patient. Then you say, Gao Hong wants Taiyuan, how can he ask for it?"

Xiao Jian said: "I'm just guessing. He has kept Xiumei and Baili Rong lurking here, so he must have a plan. Taking down Youzhou is not his fundamental goal. Maybe he wants to take down Youzhou, and then try again." And take Taiyuan, even if you can't hold the jade seal of Emperor Beiyan, you can still be invincible. Sister, how is your relationship with Baili Rong?"

Xiao Xuefei snorted coldly: "What do you think? I am a thorn in his side and he is a thorn in my flesh. Now that you are here, the two of us are better off. Tonight the emperor publicly said that he likes you, so he probably won't hate me in the future Now, it's time to stare at you. If you want to inquire about their news, it's better to start with Xiumei, do you want me to seduce him, sister?"

Xiao Jian was startled, and hurriedly said: "No, no, Xiumei has a wife, don't bother me."

Xiao Xuefei let out a "cut" and said, "I won't seduce him, but will it work if I seduce his wife? Is it the little girl Ding Xiang?"

Xiao Jian nodded, and righteously said: "Go, I will support you, little brother."

Xiao Xuefei glanced sideways at him, her blue eyes sparkling: "Xiao Tiantian, how are you going to sleep tonight?"

Xiao Jian said: "How do you want to sleep? How about you sleep on my bed, and I'll make do on the long couch outside here."

Xiao Xuefei leaned against his body lazily, and said with a smile: "That's impossible, you got my sister here and just dismissed her like this, who is your sister?" Xiao Jian hugged her slender waist with a smile Said: "My sister is like a flower, but it's a pity..." Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, she tapped on the Ruanma acupoint, and said: "You are right, it's not that I don't want to work hard, I really follow Duanxiu to learn from Duanxiu , Now seeing a woman, it’s useless. Come on, I’ll carry you to sleep.” Carrying her into the big bed inside and putting her in place, and turning to leave, Xiao Xuefei looked at his back and cursed angrily: “You Damn child, how dare you plot against sister like this! Isn’t it shameful to learn how to cut sleeves?” Xiao Jian pretended not to hear, and fell asleep by himself.

On the second day Zhao Yuancai woke up from the wine and remembered the matter of giving Linglong to Xiao Jian, so he was specially called to the imperial study and asked, "Xiaoxiao, how did you feel last night?"

Xiao Jian's face turned red slightly, and he didn't know how to answer him. After hesitating for a while, he said, "It's okay." Zhao Yuancai looked at him thoughtfully, and said, "What do you mean by okay? Do you... Playing around with women? I have erotic pictures here, do you want to see them?"

Xiao Jian stammered: "Your Majesty, of course I...Of course I will! Don't look at it."

Seeing his embarrassment, Zhao Yuancai smiled happily and said, "Come here." When Xiao Jian approached, Zhao Yuancai reached out and picked up an object on the dragon table and handed it to him, saying, "This is for you." Xiao Jian took it and saw that it was a piece. The suet white jade, the size of a baby's fist, was carved into the shape of a jade melon and tied with a red silk ribbon. It looked small, exquisite and extraordinary.Zhao Yuancai said: "Someone sent a few pieces of jade a few days ago. I picked one and asked the jade craftsman to make it for you. Twist the stem of the melon."

Xiao Jian twisted the stem of the melon according to his words, and it was able to unscrew. When he pulled it out, it was a seal with seven words engraved on it: "Where does the jade man teach how to play the flute?" Biting his lower lip, he said, "Thank you Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuancai said: "You're welcome, as long as my little beauty doesn't sulk with me, there are a lot of these things, and I have everything I want. There are also fresh melons and grapes here, which they just brought back from the Western Regions. You come Try it."

At this moment, the eunuch in charge outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, Master Xu Siqing seeks to see you."

Zhao Yuancai said, "Let him in."

Xiao Jian hurriedly said: "Then the villain will leave."

Zhao Yuancai stood up, stretched out his hand to grab his hand, and said, "Why are you in a hurry? You can meet this man. This man is an official under my command. He holds a false title in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but secretly goes around secretly. Running to do business, he is the one who donated this sheep fat jade. He has a lot of good things in his hand, once you get to know him, just ask him for anything you want." He took Xiao Jian into his arms.Xiao Jian was about to struggle, Zhao Yuancai whispered in his ear: "He came in, you must give me some face, right?"

Then a 27-year-old man in a dark blue official uniform, with a good appearance, walked in without looking sideways, kowtowed to Zhao Yuancai, and said: "I have seen the emperor."

Zhao Yuancai said: "Excuse me, give me a seat." He took Xiao Jian and sat down on the long couch, and pushed a few plates of fruit on the small table in front of him, saying: "You eat yours."

The palace people next to him hurriedly led Xu Siqing to his seat, but Xu Siqing did not dare to raise his head, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, is your majesty satisfied with the things that I have brought as a tribute to your majesty?"

Zhao Yuancai said: "It's okay. How is your body?"

Xu Siqing said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. It's okay for a while. It's just that the medicine can't be stopped, so...so..."

Zhao Yuancai smiled and said, "That's very easy. I will ask Yu Lingzi to continue dispensing the medicine for you. He is in his Changqing Palace. You can go find him later."

Xu Siqing hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I still have something to report. Then Yao Yuan found Weichen and scolded me a few days ago. His words were filthy and ugly. It's nothing for Weichen to be angry with him. But he clearly knows that the humble minister is the emperor's courtier, but he is so presumptuous, obviously he doesn't take the emperor seriously."

Zhao Yuancai said, "What did he scold you for?"

Xu Siqing said: "I don't dare to learn, for fear of polluting His Majesty's eyes and ears."

Zhao Yuancai smiled and said: "That's right, my Xiaoxiao is here, that old man can't spit ivory out of his dog's mouth, so don't learn his ugly words."

Just now Xu Siqing raised his head and took a sneak look at Xiao Jian. Xiao Jian put the leftover melon rind aside, and stared back at him with his dark and lively eyes, then pursed his lips and smiled.Zhao Yuancai said with a smile: "You don't need to sneak around, you can watch as much as you want. This is my Xiaoxiao, his name is He Xiao, and now he is General Xunyi Wei Yulin Zhonglang. You can invite him to drink and have tea Go to the theater, just don't bring him down."

Xu Siqing quickly lowered his head and said: "Yes, yes, this young general is so handsome, I must find an opportunity to make friends, and ask for advice."

Zhao Yuancai snorted softly, and said, "If you have nothing else to do, you should step back and go to Changqing Palace."

Seeing Xu Siqing retreating obediently, Zhao Yuancai rested his jaw on the small table, moved closer to Xiao Jian, and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, do you know why he went to Changqing Palace?"

Xiao Jian said: "Didn't you go to the Taoist priest Yu Lingzi to make medicine?" Yu Lingzi is a wandering Taoist priest, who claims to know many top-secret folk remedies in the world, and can concoct elixir of life, fertility medicine, ecstasy, and aphrodisiac. And so on, etc., there is nothing serious, but Zhao Yuancai likes it very much, and specially built a Taoist temple for him in the palace to raise him. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor often takes the medicine he prepared.

Zhao Yuancai looked at him mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "No, he went to find Yu Lingzi to cultivate together."

Xiao Jian was startled and said, "Shuangxiu?"

Zhao Yuancai smiled and said, "Yes, Shuangxiu, you don't know what is Shuangxiu? I have a copy of "Dual Cultivation of Internal Family" here, would you like to read it?"

Xiao Jianqing's Yaxiuyan's face was slightly red, she drooped her long eyelashes, she stepped back slightly to let his face get closer, and said: "No, I'm not interested in this. I'm just surprised, Yu Ling Since Daoist Zi is in His Majesty's harem, can His Majesty allow him to practice dual cultivation with others?"

Zhao Yuancai looked at his face, and said with a smile: "I also cultivated with him a few times. He did not cultivate well, so I won't cultivate with him in the future. Now he is idle, so whoever he will cultivate with." He said Suddenly he stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Jian's hand on the table, and said, "Xiao Xiao, why don't we both cultivate together, okay?"
