Brilliant Horse

"Da—" the chess piece fell in response.

She was dressed in brocade clothes, and her hair was full of gold and silver pearls. She was so luxurious, except for Xiao Zitang, no one in the palace could match her.She frowned tightly, pinching Bai Zi with her jade fingers, hesitating, Xiao Zilan who was opposite her was not in a hurry, but smiled a little eccentrically.

"Sister seems to have something on her mind?"

Xiao Zitang let out a long sigh and admitted it. She was very worried about this plan, so she asked Xiao Zilan again, "Sister, are you sure you can really succeed this time?"

Xiao Zilan smiled softly, "Even if he is as smart as a ghost, based on what I know about him, he will definitely bring the jade bell. Besides, if the flute fails this time, he will definitely die a miserable death." Her eyes shot out. Violent light, the expression flowed on the chessboard.

I hope so, Xiao Zitang thought, even if he could win it, if Li Xian found out, with his sharp tongue, His Majesty might abolish her at any time, but she has been married to His Majesty for so many years, she can say yes by then. If it was specially found for His Majesty, then at most it would be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Sister, why don't you come down?"

"Oh..." The wandering Xiao Zitang was called back, and hastily dropped the white piece in his hand.

Xiao Zilan smiled like a ghost, "Sister, you lost..."

She looked at the green trees outside the window, and her endless calls reminded her of the saying that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind. Could she not be an oriole this time?

Yanzhen's family was in a stately state. The old lady arrived at the door and was greeted by everyone, but she didn't see her good sister. She didn't care. Where's your mother?"

When Mu Zhongxin was asked this question, he smiled shyly, and replied: "My mother is busy inside, she said she is worried about serving others."

Worried about helping others?It's just that she doesn't want to take two steps to the door to pick her up. Her temper hasn't changed after all these years. She says that the wind is the rain, and she does whatever comes to her mind. She does it before she has a thought. Don't make any waves for her this time. .

Seeing that the old lady didn't embarrass him, Mu Zhongxin's hanging heart was slightly relieved. In the past, when his mother and aunt met, it was inevitable that there would be accusations or comparisons with each other.This time I got married, I still hope that my mother can be kinder, otherwise my wife will be offended.

He took Mu Zhongzhong's family to the wing room, and the maids bowed to make way in the corridor.

Although they are of the same generation, the age difference between Mu Zhongxin and Mu Zhongxin is still quite far. Mu Zhongxin is the eldest of this generation, while Mu Zhongxin is the youngest. If they are called by age, Mu Zhongxin may still be called Mu Zhongxin. Be loyal as an uncle or something.

The boss always has some love for his younger siblings. Even if he is not a compatriot, Mu Zhongzhong asked kindly: "Zhongxin, you will be the bridegroom officer tomorrow, are you happy?"

Mu Zhongxin lowered his head and smiled without saying a word, his face was full of happiness, Mu Hongling saw him like this, and teased him, "Oh, our groom is very shy, I heard that girl is from a rich family, she was born beautifully He even said that we would not marry unless we were faithful."

"Oh, sister Hongling, don't laugh at me." He walked in front, even though he was a man, he couldn't help but blush.

When they return to their home, they usually live in the West Wing. Even if the two families have a lot of grievances, they will clean it up and put on new bedding before they come.

When Mu Hongling walked to Xiyuan, she saw some rays of light shining on the big banyan tree in front of the wing room, and her face couldn't help but gloomy. Mu Fanchen also noticed her mood swings, and found the metallic lights on the tree.

"Ambush?" Mu Fanchen asked Mu Hongling with his lips.

Mu Hongling shook her head slightly, and pressed down Mu Fanchen's hand that was already on the sword. She knew what it was...

This time the Mu family went into battle lightly and did not bring two pregnant women with them.In the past, when returning to the original home, it was more or less crowded, but now there are fewer people, each of them has a room, and they live comfortably, and the rooms of Mu Hongling and Mu Fanchen are even more connected, the two of them are overjoyed.

Looking at the other side in a blink of an eye, Li Xian was so busy that he sent Fan Hua to the inn, and let the shadow guard drive away.A little further past Yanzhen, there is a place called Xiaojiangkou.There is rich in river fish, but the mountains on all sides are dangerous, and the river is fast and fast. It is not only a good place to intercept, but also a good place to escape.

If the passing ships are not stopped in time, the consequences will be very serious. According to the flow rate of this small river mouth, it will arrive in Luocheng in a few days, right?

The shadow guard braked the car and curled up on the side under the car. Li Xian stepped on the shadow guard's back and walked out slowly with a sullen face.

"Useless things." He pulled out the long sword at his waist, and stabbed the man's chest with a sword, not even bothering to pull out the sword.

The coachman shadow guard watched Li Xian go away, got up and pulled out the sword on the man's chest, took out a piece of soft satin cloth from his arms to wipe it, and put it in the carriage.This sword still needs to be kept, otherwise one day the prince will not be able to find it, and he will have to give up his life.

Li Xian got into a merchant ship, the shadow guards inside knelt down in unison, he glanced peachy, the big shadow jumped down from the beam, and placed a carved iron box in front of him.He was not in a hurry to open it, his eyes rested on Daying for a moment, and then Daying said slowly...

"The Duke of Shangyang has... gone west."

"Are you sure he did it?"

"This subordinate pledged his life, and he even kidnapped Ma Zhongqiu."

After Daying finished speaking, Li Xian let out a long sigh and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing who the enemy is will be easy to handle.He opened the iron box, a bloody heart got into his eyes, and a dagger pierced through the heart to the bottom, and there was a letter on it, but it was stained red by this ugly and fresh heart.

He didn't mind taking out the letterhead with his own hands. Chinese characters were neatly written on it. He was obviously just the leader of the rebel army, but he wrote such a good handwriting. It was a lot of trouble. It's just this heart...he is not a barbarian like them People, of course, don't like it very much.

When he opened the letterhead, he was really disappointed. He thought it was a full page, but unexpectedly, it was only a few words. It could be considered that Elba Ji had played him a trick.

Li Xian put the red letter on the candlelight, the letter was soaked with blood, and it took a long time for it to ignite.The shadow guard wiped off the blood stains on his hands without any redness, and his brows relaxed.

"My lord, do you still want to intercept?"

"Hold on, prepare good wine and good food, and wait for the guests to come." The old friend must meet, and besides, Ma Zhongqiu is indispensable to him, otherwise, who will take care of Zhongxian Firm?

Elba Ji, you took the risk to sneak into my Great Liang, could it be that you just wanted to kill a useless and powerless King of Shangyang County?Why don't you take a good look at your fox beard and come to Daliang to drink and eat meat and pretend to be a hero? If you don't give an explanation, don't go back.Besides, for the fate of King Shangyang County, I have to explain to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Yan Town is relatively mountainous, and it was so cold in the middle of the night that it seemed to be in an ice cellar. Fan Hua woke up in the middle of the night and grabbed the quilt next to him vigorously.

The icy breath around him reminded him of many years ago...

When he was a little man, he held a copper basin full of water and knelt in front of the door of his room. The weather was hot and humid, with dark clouds billowing in the sky, and heavy rain was coming.He didn't remember how long he had been kneeling, his hands were already numb and unconscious.The rain fell as soon as it was said, and big raindrops hit him on his body and on his face, causing him to kneel in pain.

The water in the copper basin increased until it overflowed and poured over his head.That was the first time he saw Aomori. He didn't have this name at that time, and he was dressed in tatters and stained with blood.

He stood beside him, holding a red oil umbrella, his face was marked with whiplash.At that moment, he turned his head and scolded him to go away. As long as someone pleads for him, he will definitely bear more punishment.Bearing without saying a word and blocking all sympathy is his only way out, in order to make himself feel better in these tortures.

It's just that this ragged servant didn't seem to know what he said, put the oiled paper umbrella aside, and then walked away.When he returned to the room, there was still a bowl of hot ginger soup on the table, definitely not made by his aunt, but made by that lowly servant.He is obviously much worse than himself, why should he pretend that he is not worse than himself, to sympathize with him, pity him, and give him alms!

He didn't take a sip of the bowl of ginger soup, and threw the bowl into the rain...

When Fan Hua was still dreaming, a fishing boat went down the river and arrived at the brightly lit Xiaojiangkou. This was a Hongmen banquet specially set up for him by Li Xian, and it depends on whether he has the courage to go.But looking at this battle, he didn't have a choice.

The flames on both sides of Xiaojiangkou jumped, and under the flames were black figures running one by one. They held claw ropes in their hands, and they were about to throw the claw rope over at any time to hook them to the shore.

Li Xian stood on the docked merchant ship and looked at the man at the bow, smiling like a lotus flower. The man also saw Li Xian on the merchant ship. He let the fishing boat row towards the merchant ship, and with a light jump, he came to Li Xian.

"Is Prince Xian safe?"

As soon as the man opened his mouth, the breath of the desert rushed to his face. His whole body and appearance all showed the boldness and arrogance of the desert, even though he was wearing Han clothes.

Li Xian watched the fishing boat approach the shore, and then responded to him: "Hey, since you've come to Great Liang, how about having a drink or two with me?"

Ji laughed loudly, "We Huhu people don't like drinking from cups, we all drink from big bowls, which is more enjoyable!"

"If Mr. Zhongqiu is safe, please invite him to the boat to drink together. The wine and meat here are enough." Li Xian pulled out the scimitar from Elba Ji's waist and shook it in front of him, "I have enough guards here .”

Ji took off his cloak and followed him into the merchant ship. When he saw a table of good food and wine, he didn't say hello, and started eating instead of customers.

"Mr. Ji is hungry?"

Elba Ji sneered, that was of course, he bypassed numerous guards, went deep into Great Liang, and was about to reach the eastern part of Great Liang, finally took the dog's life of King Shangyang, and he was hungry for many days on the way .

He spoke substandard Chinese and asked, "How is Khan?"

"It's very good." Li Xian handed him the wine jar. Huhu people can drink better than Han people. He looked at Elba Ji's eating and asked side-by-side, "Before Mr. Ji leaves, can you drink?" Will you give me an explanation for this king and Huangquan's Shangyang County King?"

Speaking of this, Elba Ji put down the meat on his hands, and wiped the oil on his mouth casually with his hands, "It's not that the virtuous prince is ignorant of Huhu's condition. My uncle Nigu usurped the throne and practiced tyranny. Harassing the border between the two countries, you Great Liang don't like it either, do you?

The king of Shangyang County knew this, and even searched for people's fat and donated them to Nigu, just for his own little money. Come and kill him. "
