Live together with Qing

Dusk was approaching, the cold wind was bleak, and the clouds were overcast. The driver Ah Jiu, who was dressed in linen clothes, waved his horsewhip and led the people in the car to leave the city gate sadly, heading towards Liangma County.

Light snow fell from the sky to the ground, and the snowflakes became bigger and bigger, and then they were dense and flying all over the sky.

The north wind is cool, rainy and snowy, and some people feel sad alone.

"Master Hou, do you want to eat hot pot?" Xiaochao bared his teeth and said to a young man in black in front of him. The young man's complexion was ashen, his brows trembling slightly, as if the person/skin/mask on the opposite side was extremely uncomfortable .

"This glue is not good for the skin, and there is no expression when you smile. This deceiving thing of yours is only used to deceive children." Wei Changsheng really wanted to curse, but unfortunately he didn't open his mouth wide.

The person in Ah Jiu's carriage is his substitute, also covered with a human/skin//mask/mask, but the face of that person is covered with a black veil, and ordinary people can't tell the difference at a glance.

After he was released from prison, Wei Changsheng first found the letter left by Elder Yan, which recorded all the hidden stakes and real estate stores under his name, and then in just one day, he and the gang of little birds came up with such a The trick of borrowing a dead body to resurrect the soul.

The fake Wei Changsheng returned to Liangma County, kept his filial piety alone, stayed behind closed doors, and stayed up for the full time limit.Zhen Wei Changsheng changed his appearance and identity, and stayed in the capital to continue collecting information.

The winter solstice is here, and the Chinese New Year is not far away.

This is the largest hot pot restaurant in the capital, called "The Best Pot in the World", with blue bricks and red tents, black tiles and cornices, wooden pillars and carved windows, and the customers are like a cloud.The owner behind this shop is also a spy from Beimingzhou.

The butter hot pot is bubbling and bubbling, and the aroma of grass fruit and peppercorns tantalizes the taste buds.Wei Changsheng groaned and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

"You mean, Elder Yan, Mr. Yan, is dead? That's why I became Xuanwu's chosen one?" Wei Changsheng's hand holding the chopsticks trembled a little. The heat from the hot pot made his eyes hurt.

He has not been with Mr. Yan for a long time, but after all, Mr. Yan is the first person he saw when he came to this world and opened his eyes. Chick still followed the moving object he saw at first sight as his own mother, although Mr. Yan He was treated harshly, beating and scolding, but when Wei Changsheng heard the news of his death, his emotions were still very complicated.

Xiao Chao didn't care, he put the piece of meat on Wei Changsheng's chopsticks into his own oil dish and dipped it in, the oil dish was also provided by Wei Changsheng. Hairy belly, sighed in his heart, Master Hou is really good-looking, even the hot meat is different, what to say is ups and downs.

"Elder Yan, he has already arranged for the funeral. He and we have explained that we must protect Lord Hou."

Xiaochao and those little birds, who grew up in Beimingzhou, were sent to Elder Yan's school by their family at a young age. Because they were young, they mixed into Dongqingdu without any effort, and quickly integrated into the local area. People's lives, so it is difficult to be found.

"Why me?" Wei Changsheng murmured, his eyes a little red.It was only then that he realized that the day he gave birth to the imprint should be the time when Elder Yan died. Based on this calculation, Elder Yan passed away the day he left Liangma County, and there was no warning beforehand.

Xiaochao shook his head. Wei Changsheng has always treated him very well, and he never treated them like little birds. He also knew that Wei Changsheng had been brought by Elder Yan's side since he was born, and he had never even seen his biological parents. Somewhat sympathetic to each other.

"You are the chosen one, you are destined." Xiao Chao couldn't bear it, and comforted him.

The status of the Chosen One in the Xihe Continent is extraordinary, which is a blessing that ordinary people can't even ask for.However, the chosen people of the four countries have different ways of debuting. It is said that the chosen person of Dongqingdu is purely a decoration. Dragon Claw left a paw print on Xin Shangshu's shoulder, which is better than nothing, for peace of mind.

However, it is rumored that the emperor can talk to Qinglong Shenjun, but the news in the market is often exaggerated, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake.In short, the strength of the chosen people of the four countries is headed by the Southern Red Country, the Eastern Qingdu is at the bottom, and the Beiming Continent is not in the middle.

Wei Changsheng suddenly thought of another thing, "Do you know what a Horcrux is?" He still remembered that Elder Yan's expression changed drastically when he said these words.

Xiaochao really didn't know this time, he shook his head obediently, and started to eat again.

Wei Changsheng sighed, the future will be long, let's figure it out slowly.He stretched out his chopsticks to fish the pot, but it was empty. He turned his head to look at the empty plate on the table, and even his favorite duck intestine was gone.

Wei Changsheng looked at Xiaochao's plate piled up into a mountain, eating heartily, and became angry, "Xiao Chao, are you looking for death, dare to steal my meat!" Xiaochao protected his bowl, "If you want more One copy."

Wei Changsheng has recently felt more and more the state of growing his body in middle school. He can eat four bowls of rice, and he can't feel happy without meat every meal.

The two were fighting with each other and having a lively quarrel, when the door was pushed open from the outside with a bang, Wei Changsheng and Xiao Chao were taken aback, they were clearly sitting in a private room specially arranged by the boss, free from outside disturbances, so they could Who is so reckless to speak so casually?

The shopkeeper was leaning against the doorpost, sweating profusely, "Master, something is wrong, the yamen servant brought people to seal the shop, saying yes, it's a national funeral."

Ah, Dijun hiccupped?Wei Changsheng gasped, without saying a word, he dragged Xiaochao out of the hotpot restaurant through the secret passage, and when they reached the street, Wei Changsheng's expression suddenly changed. Is this still the night market he was familiar with?

When he was working overtime in Yizhi, he once went out to eat supper with his colleagues at night. Dongqing at night is not inferior to modern cities. The shop sells ten-color dumplings, Shixi Street sells puffed snail cakes, Taiping Lane sells musk candy, and restaurants and wine shops are open until the middle of the night, and customers come in an endless stream.

But tonight, the streets are empty like a ghost town. The snowflakes are falling on the ground, which sounds like a rustling sound. The bell tower in the distance is ringing thick and endlessly, echoing in the dark and lightless night sky.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Behind Wei Changsheng came the roar of the horse's hooves and the sound of the whip breaking through the air. In an instant, the air from the horse's nose was about to touch his back.He decisively grabbed Xiaochao and rolled him on the spot, then dodged into a nearby alley, barely avoiding the catastrophe of being trampled by horseshoes.

When he came back to his senses, several rows of hoofprints were left in disorder on the snow.Wei Changsheng stared blankly at the black shadows on horseback who disappeared into the distance, reflecting the snowy light, he felt that he was right, one of them was indeed Murong Duan.

Half a round of cold moon gradually emerged from the loose frozen clouds, Murong Duan was in a state of anxiety, galloping his horse all the way, he suddenly saw two black shadows, one tall and one short, appeared on the road, the guards around him shouted to let passers-by get out of the way, he But his heart tugged for no reason, and the reins under his hand suddenly tightened, almost rubbing against the tall man's back, but fortunately, the two reacted alertly and avoided the horse team.

Murong Duan didn't even have time to look back, the outline of Taixing Palace had faintly appeared in front of him, he tried his best to gather his mind, and then leaped away with his whip.

I really lost my head. The guards watched Wei Changsheng get on the carriage back home at dusk, and even he himself was at the top of the city not far away... Enjoying the snow, how could he even look at the back of a passerby now? The one who has left.

Murong Duan has been deliberately avoiding all kinds of news about Wei Changsheng, but he always asks casually, which puts great pressure on the trusted guards around him. Think of Wei Changsheng's every move.

"My lord, Wei Changsheng went to Chen's Alley to buy mung bean cakes in the afternoon."

"My lord, Wei Changsheng made the floor in Yizhi today."

"My lord, my lord, Wei Changsheng, he went to drink flower wine..."

Murong Duan lifted the chessboard in front of him, and was immediately filled with anger and fury, "Aren't you too busy on weekdays, did I ask you to monitor him?"

The guards huddled together and continued to work harder next time.

Murong Duan felt that the reason he cared about Wei Changsheng was simply because this kid didn't seem too afraid of him.Yes, at the age of three, Murong Duan was misdiagnosed by a quack doctor as suffering from heart disease. He was not allowed to run, jump, be nervous, or have physical contact with others. Since he was a child, no children of the same age were willing to get close to him, not even his tough sister. I think he is like a doll made of rags, it will break if you pull it, and I don't even bother to play with my brother.

At the age of 16, he published a piece on the theory of monarchy, and became famous for a while. Even the prince and Taifu said that he had never seen a person who was young, knowledgeable about the past and the present, and had such profound thoughts. It was like living in a 16-year-old body. An octogenarian old man.

There is no other reason, because Murong Duan had no choice to play since he was a child, and he can only...read books when he is bored.He read almost all the books in the imperial study, and also collected a lot of strange books and anecdotes from the people.I have read a lot of books, and I also know that people's hearts cannot be looked directly at, so I avoid others more and more.

Only this Wei Changsheng, obviously a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, saw him like a child seeing candy, joy was written on his face, and he didn't even know how to hide it.

He must know that he holds the power to choose a ministry and wants to get some benefits from him.But why did he say in a fit of anger that he didn't want his own shelter, and wanted to make a living in Yizhi alone.He went all the way, but he ran back and asked me to help him find out which department to choose. Strange, didn't you say you wanted to make a living by yourself?Such inconsistency between words and deeds before and after, it really is a villain.

What's even more annoying is, does this child know that he is annoying when he smiles, why does he always smile without a trace, seeing his teeth but not seeing his eyes?The people Murong Duan met in the official place always had a smile on his mouth, but no smile in his eyes.

As for what happened that night, Murong Duan has automatically cleared the memory in his mind.The child went crazy, and he couldn't control it for a while, but fortunately, he didn't make a big mistake and give others a reason to talk about it.Murong Duan is familiar with the books of sages and sages, and regards himself as a gentleman, so how could he do things that would hurt his body and lose his morals.

How could a person like Wei Changsheng, relying on a bit of talent, survive in court?Still arrogantly saying that you don't want your own help?

Let me see how you fall into the abyss beyond redemption!

It's just that the bamboo splinter hit his face with the sound of the wind, and he didn't even cry out in pain, is he stupid?

It doesn't matter if you go back to your hometown to observe filial piety, it's better to be a person who knows the current affairs, and never come back!

Thinking of this, Murong Duan gritted his teeth immediately, a sudden heart-piercing pain shocked his whole body, he realized that he was only a few hundred steps away from the palace gate, so he waved his hand to stop the servants beside him, and continued to move forward .The gate of Taixing Palace had already been closed, and there was a chariot arranged beside him, so he jumped off the horse and jumped into the sedan chair.The bearer picked up the sedan chair and entered the palace through the side door. A group of people hurried in the darkness.

Murong Duan entered the palace this time to meet the new emperor Chen Yu, his greatest enemy in the latter half of his life.
