Soft-boned beauty, isn't he fragrant?

In June in Shangdu, the warm wind blows all over, and after the drizzle, there is a thriving life.

In the pond of the imperial garden, the lotus bloomed just right, and Xiao Zhi even felt that living in the palace for decades had never been as good as what he saw today.

Because he had just finished walking, he received two pieces of good news, Beiyuan retreated and the queen was happy. It was really double happiness. This made his gloomy complexion clear up, and he finally showed some genuine smiles.

"Big companion, I'm going to be the father too." He still stared at the pond, and murmured to Cui Chenglin beside him.Although the process was uncomfortable, the result was gratifying.

"Old slave, congratulations to His Majesty."

Director Cui was sincerely happy. Since Xiao Zhi was one year old, he had been arranged by the late emperor to take care of him. He saw that he had grown from a little prince to a prince, and then to an emperor, and now he was finally going to be a father.

He is well aware of the inside story, he knows how difficult it is to have this child, but how precious it is, if he can get a boy in one fell swoop, from now on, he will not only be freed from the worry of having no heirs, but will also be freed from the pain of acting again. good news.

The two discussed the rare treasures in the inner treasury for a while, picked out the most precious ones and sent them to Kunning Palace. Only then did Xiao Zhi recover from the sudden joy and began to pay attention to the frontier war.

"Wuwei... really went to Beiyuan, and made such a great contribution?"

Cui Chenglin: "Yes, Your Majesty. There should be no falsehood. The letter from the secret agent last month said this, but there was no more definite news at that time. This time it was reported clearly. 3000 people attacked Gu Lunhaer by surprise. , Not even six hundred came back, and it is said that most of them were lost when they finally broke out from the 30 army in Beiyuan."

Xiao Zhi didn't answer for a long while, but suddenly felt bored again.

He knew that this cheap little brother was by no means as defenseless as the rumors said, but he just thought that at most he could protect himself. Brave and resourceful, courageous and insightful.

Is it the blood of the former emperor...

Thinking of this, it is inevitable to think of the life experience of the two of them again, this depression quickly enveloped his heart, and completely washed away the good mood just now.

He once loved this younger brother sincerely. Even if he knew that the two were not of the same mother since he was a child, he was still willing to be a loving elder brother forever, so that Wuwei could enjoy a prosperous life under his wings.

When did it start to change?

From knowing that the blood flowing in his body is actually the blood of that bitch surnamed Zhong, everything has completely gotten out of control.

Everyone in the world envied him for his noble birth, for being the only favorite of the former emperor, and even Wuwei was clear about the envy in Wuwei's eyes, but who knew the jealousy in his heart?

Jealous of this unfavored and cheap brother, jealous of his resemblance to his father, jealous of them being the real blood and blood.Such a father who is both civil and military, yet elegant and gentle, is someone he can only imitate superficially, a person he admires and is extremely ashamed of.

"thump"

Xiao Zhi couldn't help kicking a stone at his feet towards the water surface, and after breaking up a lotus flower, it quickly sank to the bottom. Half of the remaining flower stood tremblingly in the surrounding pond, looking extremely bleak and lonely.

Cui Chenglin glanced at it briefly, and said, "There is one more contribution that I have to mention, two days after the second batch of luggage was assembled and set off, the distant water could not relieve the nearby fire.

Now the food supply of the Northern Expedition Army and the city of Zion all depends on the batch of food and grass that King An hid before. I heard that the people in the city are grateful, shouting for a thousand years, and many of them have set up shrines for him, and worship them every day. In fact, the soldiers of all ranks in the Northern Expedition Army also only looked forward to their horses. This reputation and prestige can really be said to be a blockbuster, and it has become known to the world overnight. "

"Heh, I went back to the mountain, missed a move, and underestimated him." Xiao Zhi said coldly.

"It's not natural to hear that it's so fast. Someone is making a name for him. I'm afraid that the group of people who have planned for a long time finally couldn't stand it anymore. Using this excuse, they began to want to get involved in military power. Your Majesty, you have to guard against it. "

Xiao Zhi frowned, and his tone became a little anxious, "There is still no clue about the edict? After so many years of speculation, I haven't figured out whether it is true, how can I prevent it? Just kill it once and for all? The only drop of blood left by the emperor , if he hadn't really objected, then what's the point of allowing him to be rich for the rest of his life?"

Cui Chenglin lowered his head slightly, "Your Majesty, please calm down, you have some clues, but you can't tell the truth from the fake, so you didn't report it in advance. It seems that it is true at present. The thing should be in the hands of Xiao Yinmai. Their residence Most likely the land is in the Erling Mountains to the east of the imperial mausoleum, and I have ordered Zheng Yijiao to take full responsibility for the investigation, it seems that it is just a private fight in the martial arts, and there will be no other rumors to startle the snake."

Xiao Zhi's heart bleeds when he heard the words. He didn't expect that his father would really issue another edict to seize his throne. He took a few short breaths, barely suppressed his temper, and said in a hateful voice: "You can't let him go back with the army, you have to boast If there is an opportunity, find a reason to call him back to Beijing first."

"Yes, on the way... Shall I arrange a test?" Cui Chenglin asked for instructions.

Xiao Zhi was silent for a long time, and answered irrelevant questions, "The lotus flower cake I used yesterday tastes good, and I will give some to the empress dowager."

Cui Chenglin already understood.

"promise."

……

On the day His Royal Highness King An drove back to Beijing, I don’t know how the news leaked out. The city of Zion was almost full of empty alleys. They started to gather at Shilipo outside the city early in the morning, waiting to see off the Wanjiasheng Buddha. .

Flowers, melons and fruits, delicious food and wine, the people did their best to offer sincerity, and a bunch of gentry and wealthy businessmen gathered several carts of local products, especially a large box of the most famous local tinware. The cups, plates and bowls were exquisite. Yu Shengjiu is warm in winter and cool in summer, mellow and clear, and is very popular with the world. In their thinking, that nobleman will be useful for banquets in the future.

It's a pity that they didn't know that the royal chariot dragged by four horses was empty. The hero in their hearts who saved the whole city from the fire and water had already changed his clothes and quietly left the city without disturbing anyone. At this time, he was far away from Zion. Hundreds of miles away.

"Send me off ten miles away, it must be sincere and tearful, and with your reputation in the past, King An, maybe there will be a peerless beauty who will stick to your door, so dismissive?" Chu Gui was bored, nestling lazily on his chest Before, laughing and teasing.

"Where did the peerless beauty come from? The most beautiful one in the world is already in my arms, and the rest are just dry bones and dung." Xiao Qi responded casually while controlling the reins, watching the road ahead.

After the war subsided, the stickiness between the two became stronger than before. For such a long journey back to Beijing, it is necessary to ride a double ride like Siamese twins.

It was also thanks to the fact that the one who sat down was a sweaty BMW, which had both weight and endurance, so he was not tired enough to delay the trip, but Wuming, who was leading an empty horse, was a little innocent, and the two of them treated him like air every time, and made out with each other regardless. Regardless, it always made him feel a sense of gloom that he was completely unnecessary.

Speaking of the three of them leaving the brigade and returning alone, it was naturally Xiao Qi's idea, but it was Chu Gui who was the most enthusiastic and happiest. He never liked to deal with scenes, especially such a sensational scene, which made him feel so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. How to place it.

As for why his prince sneaked away like this, he actually had some guesses in his heart. He was pleased by the love words just now, and he was in a good mood. He was finally willing to move his mind, and asked:

"Is it because we are worried that someone will harm us on the road? The comfortable king's chariot does not sit, and it makes us sleep in the open like this."

Xiao Qi raised his brows slightly, and replied a little arrogantly: "Oh, there is nothing to worry about. The three of us are together. If Xiong Liang is added, unless someone dispatches troops or Chief Cui comes in person, ordinary stumbling blocks will find you. Come to your door, isn’t that food delivery?”

guessed wrong?

Chu Gui was at a loss: "Then why did you leave the team?"

"Let's see if he will make a move. I deliberately recalled me in advance under the name of my mother's empress Sizi. The intention is self-evident. Isn't it more convenient to be with others after leaving the team? I also took this opportunity to ask Ji Xing to screen the guards of the palace again. , Whether the nails were pulled out or not, you should be able to see clearly this time. On the last floor, don’t you like that car so much, if it is damaged due to an attack, I’m afraid you will feel distressed.”

Following the even ups and downs of the horse's back, Xiao Qi finished speaking unhurriedly, and then kissed the head on the chest.

Chu Gui digested it for a long time, and finally understood the meaning thoroughly. He confirmed once again that he would not grow such a twisted and eighteen-curved stomach, so he didn't bother to ask any more. Take him anywhere.

Facts have proved that Xiao Qi is not worrying too much. There are indeed spies in the guards who have slipped through the net. Otherwise, their whereabouts could not have been leaked so quickly.

From the third day on the road, he kept encountering all kinds of accidents. When he did not know the number of waves and was less than two hundred miles away from Beijing, Chu Gui looked at the crowd of people blocking the road. Laughed.

He knew him from the beginning, a beautiful woman in a red dress, but Liu Ying was the third person in the row below him and Lao Yan, a transvestite nicknamed "Red Girl", who was actually not very strong in terms of martial arts, However, he is famous for using perverted means to torture the target every time he does business, and he can receive seven hundred gold for his worth. This should be the false prosperity under the so-called brand effect.

He changed his laziness before, stopped Xiao Qi and Wuming, borrowed the scimitar seized from Beiyuan in Wuming's hand, and said: "You two are not needed for this match, I will clean up the door first."

After all, he directly resorted to the master's lightness kung fu, revealed his identity, the wind passed by, and the wild ghost was revived.

The battle ended very quickly, like chopping melons and vegetables, especially the red girl who recognized the number, she was almost frightened and went weak, and she gave up her weapons and surrendered, and finally vomited what she knew tremblingly. Clean, without any professional ethics that a killer should have.

Chu Gui was deeply ashamed, so he found an excuse to beat him up, and then gave a sharp reprimand and warning. Seeing this gang of mobs dragging three seriously injured, and running away without a trace, this is considered venting. Complaining with the two people watching the play next to me:

"Assassins in this world can't do it. Doesn't Xiao Zhi have no money? It's embarrassing to use such a vain name. Isn't Zhengyijiao in his hands? Just send a few veterans of the eighth and ninth ranks over here. Let me keep my eyes open."

Xiao Qi lay on the horse's back, propped his chin to admire the brave and heroic posture of his little soldier, and said with a smile: "Eight rank and ninth rank? You are Chinese cabbage, Zhengyi sect can count four at most, and more Including the hundred-year-old former celestial master, how can he have time to deal with such mundane matters?"

He got up and stretched out his hand, dragged the person in front of him again, and then said: "I reckon it was meant to be a test, after all, I haven't stepped on his bottom line, and I have just made a great contribution to protect the country, he will not Well, let’s kill it now and let the world see the joke.”

It's the trick of trying to figure out the mind again... It's okay to use your hands, but it's fine to use your brain.

Chu Gui let out a "tsk", found a more comfortable position and nestled back, and did not speak again.

The horseshoes splashed the mud on the side of the road, and within half a day, the city wall of Shangdu was already in sight.
