big week

There is a five-story pagoda in the northwest corner of the palace. Above the pagoda is a huge night pearl. This pagoda is locked and is a forbidden area in the palace.

Now I am alone, wearing black clothes, carrying a red paper lantern, and walking towards the pagoda in the dark night.

Everyone said that the pagoda was closed to the ghosts in the palace. Every night, the top floor of the pagoda would light up with blue ghost lights like hell fire.

I quietly opened the lock of the pagoda. The sound of unlocking the lock was particularly loud in such a dark night.

After opening the door, the dust rushing towards the face, and the outline of the stairs vaguely visible in the darkness, surrounded by darkness, seemed to be able to pounce on the so-called innocent souls at any time.

I carried the lamp to the stairs, step by step, one person, one lamp, in such darkness, what surrounded my ears was the sound of my footsteps.

Every sound is enough to make people panic.

At the top floor, a screen in the dark night emits fluorescent light, it is a screen of characters made of luminous stones, the characters made of fluorescent light, ghosts and ghosts.

In the center of the screen is a tripod, in front of the tripod is a wooden table, and beside the table are two chairs.

I blew out the lamp, approached the cauldron by the light of the luminous stone, threw the paper lantern in the cauldron, took a fire pocket from my pocket, lit it and threw it in the cauldron.

In an instant, the red fire light lit up, and the light of the luminous stone dimmed until it was gone.

I sat at the table with my hands clasped and placed on the table.

The man who came out from behind the screen made no sound. His hair was scattered behind his head, but a few strands of hair were scattered in front of his forehead. Under his forehead was a pair of narrow and long eyes. The bridge of his nose was high and his face was carved like a knife.A glass bead tied with a black silk thread is hung around the neck, and on the wrist, there is a golden cross-ring with double lion and beast heads with red gemstones.

He walked over to me and sat across from me. He was just sitting there lazily, but exuded a hell-like atmosphere.

"The Supreme Emperor." He said lightly.

"Well, Zhai Kui, is it still peaceful?"

Being in the palace, I can't manage Jianghu affairs, but Jianghu affairs are often closely related to the current situation, so Zhai Kui manages Jianghu affairs for me.

;"The Xu family in the south of the Yangtze River sits big, and the Xu family's bodyguard bureau swallowed several bonuses, and occupied Longshan, preventing the people from passing through, too emperor."

I listened to him and replied lightly; "So, what do you think?"

"The whole family of the Xu family was wiped out, and the Liu family of Nanzhou was planted. It happened that Zhujian Villa said a few days ago that the medicine men who made swords were sent, and they just gave them the living dead of the Xu family to be medicine men." Zhai Kui said it plainly, as if what he was discussing It's not other people's lives, but ordinary vegetables and rice.

The Liu family in Nanzhou has shown some signs of arrogance recently. It is a good idea to frame the Xu family's grievances on the Liu family.

I put my head on my clenched hands, looked at him and said, "Let's keep those under the age of 14 from the Xu family. After all, it's better to pass it on than to lose it. You can do the rest."

Zhai Kui's work, I have always been at ease.

;"Also, last time the little master was assassinated, those few people, their lives are already worse than death."

I looked at Zhai Kui, I never asked about this matter because I knew Zhai Kui would give me the most perfect answer.

;"Okay, after a while, it's time for you to see Xiaoge."

"Zhai Kui wants Xiao Ge to come alone. If he dares not go up the tower alone, even if the Supreme Emperor recognizes him as the next generation's little master, Zhai Kui will not recognize him."

I nodded and said to him; "One more thing, let Zhai Qu go to the chief helm in a few days and choose some good swords for me."

Zhai Qu is the man in the blue robe in the Xiaoyao Palace.

The lights in the cauldron were burnt out, and the luminous stone emitted a glint of light again, Zhai Kui disappeared into the blackness, and I went down the pagoda with the faint light of the fire.

It was long golden hair like the sun, with a few small braids tied with golden broken bells, scattered on the lilac-colored silver thread brocade robe.Those eyes are like ancient blue jade, ghostly and empty.

Sitting on the main hall, looking at the Xili envoy, I was amazed at the exotic atmosphere different from the Liuli Kingdom.

"Foreign minister Lianyun, please refer to the Emperor of the Liuli Kingdom, please refer to the Emperor of the Liuli Kingdom." He stood on the main hall and saluted us in the way of Xili.

"The envoy of Xili crossed the mountains this time and came to my Liuli country. It is my luck for my Liuli country." Raising his glass to Lianyun, looking at his eyes, those deep and quiet eyes like ancient wells, almost Just suck your own soul.

Could it be that all Xili people are as beautiful as this envoy, as beautiful as a monster?I asked myself.

"Lianyun came this time to discuss the ownership of Liuchong Mountain with Liuli Kingdom." He finished the spirits in one gulp and said.

Liuchong Mountain, I carefully fiddled with the ivory beads in my hand, I Liuli used Liuchong Mountain as a natural barrier to resist Xili, but Xili used Liuchong Mountain to herd animals for a living.

The two countries have never put the matter of Liu Chongshan on the table, and they acquiesce in each other's behavior.

Some things, once brought to the table, mean that there will inevitably be disputes.

"Oh, why, King Xili suddenly became interested in Liuchong Mountain?" I tilted my head and looked at him.

"Xili wants to use Sanchong Mountain among the six Chongshan Mountains as the boundary, and Xili Liuli will take half of each." Lianyun said.

It seems reasonable, but to me, it is not allowed.

"Liuli has always used Liuchong Mountain as its homeland. Now you have asked me to divide the three mountains. The abacus is sound. You say that Xili can do business. It seems that this is really true." The atmosphere on the Internet is already tense.

"Xili has been grazing on Mount Liuchong, why does Your Majesty think that Mount Liuchong is made of colored glaze?" Lianyun supported his chin with his slender hands, blinking his eyes at me like a child.

;"Since everyone says it's yours, why do you want to divide it?" Since Xi Li mentioned it, there must be other plans, and I have always been a guy who doesn't want people to easily get what they want.

"Xili wants to open up the tunnels of these three mountains and do business with Liuli." Lianyun couldn't hide it from me, so he had to tell the truth.

Although I also have the idea of ​​opening up business routes, I will definitely not agree to let me cut off Sanchong Mountain and Xili. What's more, Sanchong Mountain belongs to Xili and opening up business routes. For Xili, attacking us Liuli is much more convenient.

I smiled, looked at Ting Ke's heartbeat, and said lightly; "But Liuli doesn't need Xili's business."

I want Lianyun to understand that it's their Xili begging me now, and I won't agree to everything.

"But Liuli needs Xili's cattle and sheep." Lianyun simply added.

"Although Liuli's cattle and sheep are not as good as Xili's, they are not bad, and Liuli can also go to Liuchong Mountain to graze if he wants." I bent my lips and looked at him with a smile.

Herding is a real turf war. If he refuses to give in, Liuli and Xili will inevitably go to war. Now, Xili is not fully prepared for a battle with Liuli.

I bet he will back down.

; "If the Supreme Emperor agrees to the Xili trade, what are the conditions of the Supreme Emperor?" Lianyun pursed his lips, offered his hands, and asked me as a salute.

"I heard that Princess Xili has grown up, and it's time for the eldest son of the Tan family of Liuli Kingdom to marry me. If you don't dislike it, marry me Liuli. The Liuchong Mountain will be the princess' dowry. As for the matter of business, It’s a waste of manpower and material resources, so I’ll do it together with Liuli.” I smiled, if I didn’t know that Xili was in urgent need of business in exchange for food, how could I dare to open my mouth like a lion, and I heard that Princess Xili is the king’s favorite. Daughter, with her as a hostage, Xili would definitely cherish her a little bit after all.

; "Let the foreign minister discuss with the Xili King in letters before returning to the Supreme Emperor." Lianyun cupped his hands and left the hall.

; "Father, what do you think of this envoy?" Ting Ke asked me on my knees.

; "very temperamental, not to general envoys."

"He is the eldest prince of Xili. The king of Xili wanted to train his son and sent him here."

Is that right, I smiled in my heart, it seems that this Princess Xili will not be able to become Liuli, the eldest prince and Princess Xili are brothers and sisters, if the prince cares about the younger sister, he will not let him marry.

What's more, the person I promised was only the son of a general, not my Liuli royal family.

Two days later, Lianyun appeared above my hall again, looked at me, bowed and said, "Princess Xili has been married since she was a child, and Xili is willing to use Liu Chongshan to pay for Liuli. I, Lianyun, will stay as the prince of Xili. Be a proton in Liuli."

I smiled and looked at him, quietly waiting for the conditions offered by Xi Li.

Lianyun looked at me and said quietly; "Xili's condition is that I, Lianyun, live near Liuli's East Palace, and Liuli will give me [-] dans of food for Xili."

The appetite for six thousand dan of grain is not small, but compared to Liu Chongshan, it is worth it.

I waved my hands and said, "Six thousand dans...too much. Up to [-] dans. After all, you are a prince, and living in the colored glaze palace cannot open branches and leaves for my colored glaze."

Lianyun blushed for a moment, but there was nothing he could do, after all, Xili was in urgent need of food and grass.

"It is said that the Xili people are cunning, but now it seems that they are not half as good as the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom." Lianyun's answer was considered to be a promise.

I smiled and toasted him.

From now on, Lianyun will live next to Ji Shu's palace, and will not say more.
