pronto

In the main hall at this time, swords were already on the verge of breaking out.

Several gusts of wind blew towards his ribs behind him, between his chest and abdomen, Yan Linsu's figure suddenly floated up like a ghost, his icy long sword lay across his elbow, and the light of the sword reflected cold on his brows and eyes.

Marquis Junyang's sneak attack failed, he let out a low growl, and swung his fists towards Yan Linsu's chest.

The wind of his fist brought up smoke and dust, and at this moment, several of the generals in front of him also jumped up at the same time, punching Yan Linsu from all sides.

The hall was narrow, it was too late for Yan Linsu to retreat, the praise came from his mouth, he smiled again: "Be careful."

careful?Beware of what?Even though this person has a sword in his hand, Junyang Hou is quite bold with four enemies to one.

Even if this person's swordsmanship is good, this narrow space may not be easy to use.

Yan Linsu's figure turned like lightning, advancing instead of retreating, kicking the chest of the general who was fighting him with the toe of his boots, twisting and twisting his arm, a black cold light came from Zhu Yongning who tied him up. The Qiqiao on the arm shoots out with the heart tube.

Su Yingjian follows the lineage of Qingling, and so does her body technique.It was Yan Linsu who didn't want to hurt someone's life, but his subordinates were more sympathetic, the hidden weapon didn't go straight for the man's throat, but only hit the key point on the man's chest.

The man fell backwards, barely blocking the way of Jun Yanghou's fist.

Yan Linsu stepped aside, Heng Jian looked at him coldly, "Why did you do it to me?"

Junyang Hou Yangtian smiled and said: "Master Yan, Lord Yan has a sword in his hand, and the timing is just right, isn't he here to cut grass and roots? Why pretend not to know? We are not afraid to admit that the Zhu family crossed the river and demolished the bridge. The few of us It is the person who was ordered by the Empress Dowager to remove the chaotic party in the Inspectorate, isn't Master Yan here today to take revenge?"

Yan Linsu frowned when he heard the words, he didn't know why Marquis Junyang insisted that he was here to seek revenge, seeing the determined expressions on their faces, he wondered if there was some misunderstanding.

But this is not the time to clarify the misunderstanding, Jun Yanghou saw that he was silent, thought that he had just revealed what was on his mind, several people exchanged glances at that moment, and no longer cared about his companion who was lying there.

Marquis Junyang let out a low growl, and swung several punches, hitting Yan Linsu in three directions.Yan Linsu suddenly felt a fist blow from behind, seven or eight of the remaining ten people also attacked at the same time.

"There are so many people beating one person, and the beating is so unsightly." Yan Linsu followed the sound, and at some point there was a young man in the hall.

The youth in apricot shirt was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with handsome features and a knife on his waist, sitting leisurely on the huge roof beam of Zhaoyang Hall.

Marquis Junyang didn't know where this young man came from, but he suddenly appeared. Even though they had no time to distract themselves at the moment, this young man's lightness kung fu is not bad.He didn't dare to be too contemptuous, and asked with a smile on his face, "Who are you?"

The boy actually answered, "I'm from the Su family in Zhaoyi Building, and my name is Su Muhua."

Marquis Junyang's expression changed slightly. The ancestors of the Zhaoyilou Su family were the founding ministers of the country, but later faded out of court and set up Zhaoyilou in the capital.

The first emperor personally gave a plaque, and a couplet in front of the building, which shows the courage of thousands of years, and the unity of Kyushu, is the status of Zhaoyi Building in Beiwulin.

With Su Muhua appearing here, does the Su family also want to intervene in the affairs of the court?

Jun Yanghou said: "It turns out to be Young Master Su, is it possible that Young Master is here to meddle in other things?"

Su Muhua shook his head and said: "Father said that it is enough for the people of the Su family to be here, and there is no need to act."

Marquis Junyang was relieved, no matter why the Su family appeared, since Su Muhua had said that he would not make a move, we will wait for them to settle Yan Linsu.

Yan Linsu faced the enemy alone, and the people in front of him were also excellent martial arts generals. He was in a tight spot for a while, and the green blade in his hand was as light as a ghost, but his moves were swift and fast.

Seeing Su Muhua sitting on the beam and watching it amusingly, he said with a smile: "Little brother, the dignified Su family is just watching the fun?"

Su Muhua raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How could it be just to watch the fun? These people attacked you as soon as they came up, precisely because yesterday our Su family had spread the news among their cronies that the emperor wanted to settle the old case back then. They were skeptical, Most of them don't believe that the emperor will go crazy to such an extent, and they will almost believe it when they see the fire outside the hall. This corner of the hall is in a good position, and they saw it when you came down. Because of your background, Jun Yanghou thought you were The emperor sent to get rid of them, and that's why you came here. If it weren't for our Su family, how could there be such a lively scene?"

Yan Linsu laughed when he heard his words, "It turns out that Young Master Su actually dug a hole for me to jump in."

Su Muhua's eyes were as bright as stars, "Why, Mr. Yan didn't thank me?"

"Thank you for allowing me to avenge my parents."

While speaking, Yan Linsu attacked seven moves of swordsmanship in one breath. As soon as he released these seven moves of swordsmanship, the light of the sword turned upside down, and the sword in his hand seemed to be as light as a wisp of smoke.

At this moment, his swordsmanship is no longer merciless!

Zhao Fu said: "I have never complained to Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed, "Oh? Don't complain. Could it be that you are willing to do those things? The struggles between Aiqing and I were just for fun. And Zhao Fu, you actually like me."

The emperor played a hooligan again, and Zhao Fu was also a little helpless, "Your Majesty, I... I mean, of course I don't want to, as a man, how can I, how can I be willing to do that kind of thing, but I don't have any feelings for Your Majesty." There are complaints."

The emperor saw that his foreign assistant was so anxious that his face turned pale, as if he just remembered his consistent Confucian righteousness.He slightly raised his hand as a signal to appease his courtiers. "Zhao Fu..."

Zhao Fu heard him call his name suddenly, thinking that the emperor had something to discuss, and said: "The minister is here."

The emperor had a perplexed look on his face, "You don't like me, do you like Qingnian?"

Zhao Fu's eyes went dark, and he was about to refute a few words loudly, but he couldn't say a word.

If not, why did he stick to this country, why was he unwilling to leave despite such humiliation, why couldn't he forget that peach blossom forest?

The emperor saw the expression on his face, and said angrily: "Qingnian belongs to me alone, and I don't allow you to like it."

Not allowed?Zhao Fu couldn't help laughing, his laughter touched his heart, he coughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't you know, Your Majesty, there is only one heart in the world, and I can't help myself in every way."

The emperor looked at him, Zhao Fu raised his head and looked at him, even when he was forced by this man between the beds, he never showed such unyielding eyes.

The emperor was very imposing at first, but gradually he became a little helpless, and said angrily: "How could I say that your temper is more interesting than that of Qingnian, you are obviously a rotten copper bean that cannot be boiled." Huang Ling threw it to Zhao Fu and said, "Take it to King Cheng."

The roll of yellow silk landed in front of him, just unfolded, and the words on it fell into Zhao Fu's eyes, and he was startled, "Your Majesty."

The emperor said: "This decree has passed on the throne to King Cheng. My decree is much more legitimate than something written by a woman. Once a person sits in the position of emperor, he will become ruthless, but King Cheng will be tolerant in the future." If he doesn't let you down, he has to support you, and offering you is his name of benevolence and righteousness, at least it can keep your family safe for generations."

An ominous feeling rose in Zhao Fu's heart, "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to..." He couldn't continue.

The emperor said: "I set up three hidden stakes for King Cheng. You have the merit of spreading the decree and supporting them. Yan Linsu, he rescued all the officials from the fire. The prestige must be very high. There is also the Su family in Zhaoyilou. I had a long talk with the owner of Su. He has been harmed by this word of righteousness all his life. If I use a word of righteousness to deceive him, he will naturally agree. , He allowed me to intervene in this matter. The Su family is good at martial arts and can use soldiers. It will be a very useful chess piece in this country in the future. These three hidden stakes are not only a powerful boost to assist King Cheng, but also to restrain his galloping horse. Come on, you can use the seal again for me, and I will also imitate the decree left by Fengyitai back then, if becoming king is not enough, the three of you can decide to abolish it."

The emperor drew up an imperial decree and threw it to Zhao Fu, saying: "Okay, I have nothing to give you, you can kneel down."

Zhao Fu said: "What is your majesty's plan now?"

The emperor poured out a cup from the blue and white pot, Zhao Fu saw that the cup was bright red, and his heart skipped a beat.

The emperor said: "Me? I won't go to Fengyitai. A glass of poisonous wine is just right. You go, you passed the imperial decree to King Cheng, so you don't want to die too fast, otherwise others will say that King Cheng I can't stand you."

As if someone was robbing him, the emperor quickly drank the wine in his glass, his eyes sparkling, "When you arrive at Naihe Bridge a hundred years later, I and Qingnian have been living together for many years, you can only watch."

Zhao Fu took two copies of the imperial edict in his hand and looked back. Under the azure blue sky, there were layers of dense palaces, and the noon sun in late autumn seemed to have cast frost on the bluestone slabs. He knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times.

The autumn sun shines on the fallen leaves all over the place. The courtyard of the inspectorate is not big, and the cyan edge of the well has a sense of simplicity.

But at this moment, the situation of the Procuratorate is no longer comparable to the bleakness it was a few months ago. This can be seen from the ever-increasing thickness of banknotes in the big wooden box under the bed of Liu County Magistrate, oh, No. Liu Yuanfu.

Liu Yuanfu basked in the sun under the eaves for a while, and saw a man in a black silk brocade robe with a white jade pendant on his waist walk in.He estimated whether the jade pendant was worth 1000 taels of silver, and then smiled, "The prince is here."

The emperor said that he was located in Chengwang, and he quickly went to Xianxiang with his cup. The status of this little prince is not as good as in the past, and the promotion from Yan'an King to Prince is just around the corner.

Liu Yuanfu may have heard that there was a fire in Zhaoyang Palace that day, and his own court envoy went deep into the palace to confine him. The little prince led 72 flying feather knights under his command to control the gate of the palace, eliminating the disaster invisible.

On that day, the court envoy came back on the young prince's horse, although the court envoy didn't say anything, but Liu Yuanfu could recognize the brand mark on the saddle, and the horse is still tied in his stable.

Even if this little prince is inhumane, Liu Yuanfu wants to wipe his tears when he thinks of his love for his envoy.

Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, even if you are a nobleman, you still have the pain of getting what you want.

Zhu Yongning seemed to be in a good mood today, and said with a smile, "Where is Master Yan?"

Sure enough, it was aimed at his own lord, Liu Yuanfu hurriedly said: "My lord pulled Miss Ruan out, today is Lord Yan's birthday, everyone entrusted Miss Ruan to buy gifts for lord."

After Liu Yuanfu finished speaking, he remembered that little Ruan was the concubine of this young prince... This young prince even sent his concubine to his lord's side. This kind of affection really makes people want to wipe away tears.

"Oh?" Yan Linsu's birthday?Zhu Yongning was overjoyed, he and Yan Linsu came back from Yanbo Ferry, only Yan Linsu smiled at him in front of Jinshui Bridge that day, and even changed their swords——and back again.

Ever since the crisis in the palace was resolved, he and Yan Linsu have been busy and haven't seen each other for several days, "What do your lords usually like?"

Liu Yuanfu thought for a while and said, "The adults in my family worry about the affairs of the country, and they only have the happiness of the people in their hearts."

Zhu Yongning nodded lightly.

Liu Yuanfu swallowed, "My lord is dedicated to martial arts, he likes... oh, he likes flowers!"

"Flowers?" Zhu Yongning was taken aback.

"Little prince, look, my lord is still a bit of a scholar. Scholars don't all pay attention to the three friends of the year and winter, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. I saw my lord looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree early this morning, and I sighed."

Zhu Yongning's eyes lit up, and he forgot to correct Liu Yuanfu, the three friends of Suihan are not plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums.

Yan Linsu was dragged by Xiao Ruan to go shopping, and at dusk, he finally returned to the Inspectorate with a package. In the package was a rich and honorable phoenix double-breasted winter jacket that the woman bought at random, two pairs of mandarin ducks and white prime minister's shoes, and three Splendid Ruyi contains pearl hairpins.

He still had a fan in his sleeve, with plain bamboo and plain landscape painted on it, and two words on it: light and light—this is Xiao Ruan's birthday present specially chosen for him after shopping for a long time, saying that it is especially suitable for him temperament……

As soon as Yan Linsu entered, he almost suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.

The courtyard is full of flowers. There are not many kinds of flowers available in this season, just some chrysanthemums.

"So many chrysanthemums?" Xiao Ruan poked his head out from behind him, "Liu Yuanfu, what are you doing?"

Liu Yuanfu poked his head out from among the flowers, pointed to the room, "It was sent by the little prince."

Xiao Ruan raised her voice, "Oh? Little Prince."

The little prince was sitting in the room, seeing Yan Linsu coming in to take the burden in his hands, he said naturally: "Linsu is back?"

Yan Linsu thanked him, and said, "Why did your lord put so many chrysanthemums in Yan's courtyard?"

Xiao Ruan also came in from the door, leaning on the door and said with a smile: "What does he want to do? Back then when he courted our sisters, he gave peach blossoms, which lasted for seven days. Do you still remember, little prince?"

Zhu Yongning's smile froze slightly. No wonder people said that he would rather offend a gentleman than a woman or villain, especially this woman was once your woman.

Xiao Ruan laughed, "My lord, you have accepted Xiao Ruan's forgiveness today, and you must thank me in the future."

Zhu Yongning bowed to her.

Xiao Ruan smiled with satisfaction, picked up the bag, and went to the back.

Only Zhu Yongning and Yan Linsu were left in the room. Yan Linsu just wanted to ask the little prince about his visit, but the emperor walked away neatly. In the past few days, King Cheng hastily ascended the throne. Although the transition of power was relatively smooth, King Cheng ordered Zhu Yongning to take over Ti ride to ensure the safety of Beijing.

There are a lot of affairs between the court and China, even if the two meet, they just glance at them in the crowd.

After all, it was the first time in several days that they spoke so quietly alone.

Zhu Yongning took his hand, brought him to the table, pushed him to sit on the chair, "Linsu, come, I asked the cook to make osmanthus cake and make osmanthus tea. Although the flowering period is over, you can still eat delicious food Feed in."

Yan Linsu's eyes fell from the crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Zhu Yongning's smile, he hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, you and I have festivals, but the past is over, and I also know what the overall situation is, and personal grievances are for now Put it down. From now on, the Procuratorate will not make things difficult for Ti Qi, so the prince can rest assured that he does not need to come to me to apologize."

Zhu Yongning looked at him and said, "You think I'm here to apologize to you?"

Yan Linsu saw the light in his eyes, but he was a little strange, "If it wasn't for the apology, what about the prince?"

Zhu Yongning gritted his teeth angrily for him, "I have always dared to admit what I did, what apologies, this king is, this king is..."

Yan Linsu looked at the young prince's appearance, and seemed to realize something, "Could it be that the young prince was ordered by King Cheng, it's time to change your words, Your Majesty, want to befriend me?"

Only in this way, the little prince had to bow his head again, with an aggrieved look on his face.

It's hard for him.

Zhu Yongning murmured vaguely.

Yan Linsu smiled and said, "My lord, don't mind too much, I said that I will put the overall situation first."

He picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table, took a bite, and said, "I loved this sweet-scented osmanthus cake when I was young. My junior brother Qin Jueyi always made fun of me, but every autumn he would always dry some flowers for me. I have been busy for a few days, and today I see that all the flowers on the branches have fallen, and I am a little bit missing Xuanyuan Mountain, thank you, my lord, for relieving me of my homesickness."

Zhu Yongning chatted with him about the old affairs of Xuanyuan Mountain, drank some sweet-scented osmanthus tea, and talked with him until it was getting late, before saying goodbye to him, and Yan Linsu sent him out of the street.

After going back, Zhu Yongning regretted it a bit.

After a few days, Emperor Cheng sat in the Zhaoyang Hall and said, "Dear dear friends, I have two matters to discuss with you today. The first matter is now that the new dynasty has just opened. All the ministers proposed to reopen the Lingyun Pavilion and prosper the Marquis. This matter. I have discussed it with Master Zhao, the foreign assistant, and the discussion is very good, and I will act on it. I also asked the foreign assistant to draw up a list of candidates for the cabinet. If everyone has a look, if there is no objection, then it will be decided like this."

Yan Linsu heard that his name was also among them. After he rescued people in the palace that day, Zhao Fu asked him to have a long talk with Su, the owner of Zhaoyi Building, and passed on the late emperor's edict.

He knew that his position as Marquis was inescapable.

This court advocates etiquette and righteousness, so no matter whether the officials are grateful to him or not, they can only be grateful on the surface.

Regardless of whether Emperor Cheng trusted him or not, he could only trust him on the surface.

Yan Linsu thanked him and took the letter.

Emperor Cheng said again: "The second thing is that Beiyan dares to invade our borders. I want to send a large army to meet the enemy. I have also discussed this matter with the Foreign Assistant and the Ministry of War. I can send troops tomorrow."

The ministers had no objection, and the foreign assistant and the Ministry of War went to discuss the details.

Yan Linsu walked out of the hall, and hurriedly walked out of an eunuch, he recognized that this person was Kou Jihai, Kou Jihai took advantage of the palace change that day to help him in time, now he is the chief eunuch next to Emperor Cheng.Yan Linsu cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Kou."

Kou Jihai returned the courtesy and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Yan, His Majesty Yan Hou invites you to the Imperial Study Room to have a talk."

Yan Linsu nodded and said, "Eunuch Lao will lead the way."

When Yan Linsu arrived, he saw that there was still a person standing in the imperial study room, and it was the young prince Zhu Yongning.

"Sun Tzu has a saying, to drive a chariot for a thousand fours, to drive a grass chariot for a thousand rides, to wear a hundred thousand armors, to feed food for a thousand miles, and to spend both internally and externally. For the use of guests, the materials of glue and paint, and the decoration of the chariots and armors cost thousands of gold a day, and then a hundred thousand. The teacher is here." After talking eloquently, Emperor Cheng was also very satisfied with his memory, and pulled out a long sword from under the table, "Yanhou, I will leave the logistics and military affairs to you for this time, and I will give you Shang Fang. With a sword, whoever dares to make mistakes, you will chop him for me."

Yan Linsu took it, thank you.

Emperor Cheng settled down on one thing, his eyes fell on Zhu Yongning and said: "The late emperor said something to me before he left, and I feel bad when I think about it. Today I call you two to ask for clarification."

Zhu Yongning said: "Father, please speak if you have something to say."

Chengdi said: "The former emperor told me that the four boys of your family were playing tricks on others in the imperial garden... I ask if this is indeed the case, and how far have you gone?"

Yan Linsu had a thin skin, and his expression froze.

Zhu Yongning smiled, "Father asked the child if he didn't understand, if he answered, I'm afraid it would lose the dignity of the royal family."

When Emperor Cheng saw the situation of the two, he was so angry that he wanted to hit him with the inkstone on the case. Does this brat still have the face to mention the royal dignity?He took a few breaths and said to Yan Linsu: "Yan Aiqing, if this kid dares to bully you, you can just use the Shangfang sword I gave you to chop him."

Zhu Yongning looked aggrieved, "Father, I am your child after all."

Yan Linsu almost escaped from the imperial study room, and after walking a few steps, he saw Zhu Yongning still following him.

"Linsu's shy appearance is really pretty." Seeing him stop, Zhu Yongning moved a little closer, almost in a posture that blocked him in a corner.

Yan Linsu didn't bother to argue with him about what shyness was, as he definitely couldn't speak out against this little prince when it came to nonsense.

Talking to this person about self-respect is not as effective as the sword in your hand.

Zhu Yongning felt the scabbard resting on his chest coldly, and said with a low smile, "Linsu is so nervous, I just remembered that last time Linsu was born, I haven't sent out the gift yet."

A piece of warm white jade fell into his palm. Has this little prince loved giving jade pendants away since he was a child?

The little prince shook his hand, touched his hair lightly with his lips, and said, "There will be a lot of people tomorrow, so I won't go see you off. On the winter solstice, if you don't come back, I will definitely go to the border to look for you." you."

winter solstice?

Yan Linsu raised his eyes and watched Zhu Yongning turn around and leave, and slowly remembered, the winter solstice... the second time to unravel the gu, the skin-to-skin relationship between him and this person...
