An Feng Bamboo Horse

?In Jinzhu Temple, begonias are in full bloom.The flower branches tapped lightly on the low window, which sounded like Zen in this deserted temple.Outside the low window, a sweeping monk was holding a broom, quietly sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.

Two bowls of silver silk plain noodles are placed on a small table made of vermilion lacquered wood, sprinkled with a layer of green onion, mixed with two tender yellow leaves, it is fragrant.

Luo Tang lightly patted the palm of his hand with the folding fan, and said with a white smile to Bu Zhang who was sitting opposite him: "Young Master Bu, the Tribute Court sent you to travel a long distance to the outside of the city. Luo Tang is very sorry. There is nothing else here. For hospitality, this bowl of plain noodles is notoriously sweet and refreshing, so let's make it your son's lunch for now. When it's time for business, Luo Tang will choose another place for you to eat."

There are only Bu Zhangbai and him in this meditation room, but there is a third pair of bowls and chopsticks next to it, and Bu Zhangbai knows that this is reserved for the person who will be introduced to him later.

Seeing that Luo Tang acted so secretly and cautiously, the other party's identity was either not on the table, or was too grandiose.

He nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Luo for your concern."

He didn't ask when the other party came, he raised his chopsticks, picked up some silver noodles and started eating.

The two of them went to Beijing together with Xia Anfeng, and passed through the assassin incident together on the way, so they would have somewhat in common emotionally.However, Bu Zhangbai still treats him politely and politely, neither because he once made a "slip of the tongue" to moles his relationship with Xia Anfeng, nor because he once saved Xia Anfeng and his life. Thank you so much.Bu Zhang doesn't speak much in vernacular, but he sees things accurately. He knows that Luo Tang is not as reckless and simple-minded as Xia Anfeng, and he must have ideas and purposes in his actions.

Luo Tang put down the folding fan that was beating his palm, and also picked up his noodle bowl.The two of them had a tacit understanding, not to mention Xia Anfeng who was still trapped in the hunting ground.

Probably, Bu Zhangbai himself knew that there were some things that Xia Anfeng had to hide from Xia Anfeng to have the courage to do it.

The scent of crabapple flowers drifted in through the opened door of the meditation room.Bu Zhangbai put down the bowl and chopsticks, and Luo Tang stood up.

Qi Xuemiao smiled and held Luo Tang halfway up, looking at Bu Zhangbai: "Young Master Bu, it's our first meeting."

He was looking at Bu Zhangbai, and Bu Zhangbai was looking at him too.

This person is dressed in casual clothes, but he has a lazy and noble air in his gestures, his appearance is upright and his temperament is elegant.Although Luo Tang was familiar with him, he still respected him, and Bu Zhang thought for a while, and he roughly judged that the person who came must be the royal family.

He said: "Your Highness, Bu Zhang is very polite."

"Oh?" Qi Xuemiao sat down in front of the empty bowl and chopsticks. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, glanced at Luo Tang, and smiled, "Luo Tang has already told you the identity of the prince? He really can't keep it." Shut up."

Luo Tang said: "Don't wrong me, I didn't say a word to him, I leave it to you to speak in person."

Bu Zhang Bai said: "You are young and noble, and you are in the capital and you are respected by the son of the Duke of Wei. Except for members of the royal family, you dare not think of others."

Qi Xuemiao clapped his palms with a smile, and praised, "Young Master Bu really has a good eye." He said, and handed the bowl and chopsticks to Luo Tang very naturally, and Luo Tang also took it very naturally. Turn around and go out to serve him noodles.The atmosphere between the two of them was extremely natural and intimate, Bu Zhang's eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't ask a word.

Qi Xuemiao laughed to himself instead, and said frankly: "My prince and Luo Tang grew up together, so the relationship..." He smiled thoughtfully, "It's like the relationship between Mr. Bu and Lord Xia. .well, or should I say...a step further."

Bu Zhangbai's heart skipped a beat, and he also smiled, and said: "Bu is living in Dingguohou's Mansion, so of course his status cannot be compared with His Royal Highness or the third son of Weiguo's Mansion."

"What the prince is talking about is not about status." There was a kind of evil light shining in those romantic and handsome eyes, which had a deep meaning, "It's about emotional ties. Mr. Bu is wise, he should understand the meaning behind the words." meaning."

Bu Zhangbai avoided his eyes, and only replied: "His Royal Highness invites you today, is there something to assign to Bu?"

Unexpectedly, when he averted his eyes, the third prince was so persistent that he even skipped over the table between the two of them, leaned over, and exhaled frivolous words from his sideburns: "Mr. Bu, can you tell this prince? How far have you and Xiaohou Xia reached?"

If these words were revealed so clearly that there was no way to avoid them, Bu Zhangbai held back his anger and said, "Your Highness, can we talk about business..."

"That's business."

"If His Royal Highness wants to involve Bu in such nonsense, forgive Bu for not being able to accompany him—"

"What if my prince has key witnesses who were the key witnesses who failed to reinforce Dingguohou and murdered the Chinese army?"

In a word, Shi Potian was shocked, Bu Zhangbai raised his eyes in shock, and looked directly into the eyes of the third prince who was still smiling slightly.

A hoarse voice: "Your Highness, the walls have ears, so don't talk nonsense."

"You haven't answered my prince yet, do you have a physical relationship with Lord Xia, and have you developed a real relationship?"

Disturbed by the words just now, Bu Zhangbai was anxious, but it was difficult to think calmly, and he was in a panic.He bit his lower lip subconsciously, and the kiss in the cave flashed through his mind.

It was just a helpless move to help the unconscious Xia Anfeng cross the clear water, but the feeling of the four lips touching was still vivid, just like yesterday.

Qi Xuemiao looked at him curiously, and found that this young man seemed to be recalling some good memories, his eyes gleamed with water, which was really pretty, and his pale cheeks also had a touch of blush.However, apart from the shyness of this little child, there is nothing else.

Based on the experience of the third prince who came here, without further questioning, it can be inferred that the relationship between the two bamboo horses will not exceed the scope of kissing and hugging at best.

Instead, he sighed, as if he felt regretful, but also as if pleased.

"Actually, this question is not that this prince is really so boring that he wants to inquire about Mr. Bu's privacy." Of course, he secretly admitted that there was a little desire to know in his heart. After all, these two people are just like him and Luo Tang. Also grew up together.Since he and Luo Tang are both upside down and entangled, to some extent, they also want to get a glimpse of other people who are in the same situation.

Bu Zhangbai bit his lips and remained silent, the third prince smiled and said: "——but, I want to know how much the young Lord Xia is in the heart of Mr. Bu, and whether it is so important that he can give up his family feud and sacrifice for him. Six thousand souls who died in vain are asking for justice."

Some of the blood on Bu Zhang's pale face faded away in an instant.

The third prince looked at him and said, "Mr. Bu should know in his heart that if the incident of the year is successfully reversed, the Dingguohou's mansion will not escape the fate of being deposed and imprisoned? At that time, not only Dingguohou Xia Zun will be ruined, but his relatives, descendants People are also very likely to be implicated - this is the real reason why it was necessary to ask how close the relationship between Mr. Bu and Xia Anfeng is."

Bu Zhangbai's face was still pale, and every time the third prince said a word, his face became more ugly, but his tone did not waver in the slightest.

He said: "Even if, Bu Zhangbai has selfish intentions towards Xia Anfeng; even if, Bu Zhangbai is grateful for Xia Anfeng's repeated dangers with his life, and desperately rescued each other; relationship." One word, one pause, "Bu Zhangbai will also reveal the truth about the Tianmai Valley battle to the world. Even if jade and stone are burned, life and death will not be seen."

"Okay, it's good to burn jade and stone together, life and death are gone."

The third prince laughed loudly, and patted Luo Tang's shoulder who had just come in with a bowl of silver noodles, but was sitting silently by the side.Appreciatively said: "Mr. Bu's determination is stronger than what this prince thinks, Luo Tang, look at him—" He stopped his voice suddenly, laughed again, and said, "In that case, Mr. Bu, this prince Let me introduce you to a person, he is one of Xia Yeyan's confidantes who followed Xia Yeyan during the Tianmai Valley battle."

He raised his hand and clapped.

The sweeping monk outside the low window put down his broom, opened the door of the meditation room and walked in.

This sweeping monk is about fifty years old, with peaceful eyes and slender joints, unlike a man who goes on a battlefield.His back was a bit bent, and his appearance was ordinary, so before Bu Zhangbai entered the room, he didn't notice his existence at all.

How could such a seemingly ordinary person be one of Xia Yeyan's confidants?

The third prince pointed to a chair beside him, motioning for him to sit down.

Bu Zhangbai looked at him, and the other party lowered his eyes and opened his voice, his tone was very steady: "Mr. Bu is right, Guo is indeed not a military commander."

He changed his tone and said: "Guo was the chief clerk under Lord Xiahou's account at that time, and he was a clerical job. Because of this, when Xia Shizi put Xiahou Lord under house arrest and wiped out his cronies, Guo was the last one to consider. This is Guo's only chance to escape from Lord Hou's Mansion at night."

Bu Zhangbai stood up suddenly: "House arrest—you said, Xia Zun put Xia Yeyan under house arrest?" Didn't Xia Yeyan voluntarily cut his family and fled to the mountains?

His shock was far from over.

The former chief counselor, who claimed to be surnamed Guo, slowly revealed another fact: "Not only was Master Xia Hou under house arrest, but Guo also boldly speculated that the young marshal Bu who was rumored to have drowned himself in the river did not actually die, but It was imprisoned by Xia Shizi in a certain forbidden place in the Houye Mansion."?
