General Chu

On that day, after Xu Liwenyuan made a pilgrimage to the officials, the attitudes of the surrounding countries towards the Great Chu changed.In the east, Yang Yue secretly communicated with Zheng State, and in the west, the border of Sui State increased its troops by nearly one-half.

"Zheng Guo seized my city, stole my tribute and copper, planted it and framed it, which caused the king to be displaced and traveled to many places before he returned to the country. If the disaster is not eliminated, our great Chu will not be peaceful." Li Jinghua stood at the top of the hundred officials. Standing tall and in high spirits.

This scene was not witnessed by Mo Wen with his own eyes, but was recounted by Su Yingmiao. Of course, his original words were not like this at all. In the original words, I used to think that the imperial court and the Chinese government were all eating nothing to make the army so weak I can't shoot a single arrow, I didn't expect there to be one or two people with lofty ideals.

Mo Wen gave a shallow "hmm" and asked, why do you want to go to court today?

Su Yingmiao hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Although I don't like those red tapes, I will go back to northern Xinjiang one day, but that court dress is Su Jinye, so I have to wear it once in my life."

To be honest, Mo Wen thought before asking the question that he might not hear any serious answer, but his mental preparation was obviously not perfect, and he was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer the question.

Someone outside the door respectfully presented a calligraphy and painting, and then the servant took it and handed it to Mo Wen.When opened, they are all ordinary landscape paintings, and the boxes containing calligraphy and paintings are all embroidered with two intertwined phoenixes with gold thread.

Although I don't understand what the painting is about, Su Yingmiao couldn't help but ask, you won't offend any girl, right? Now they are urging you to propose marriage with a pair of expensive calligraphy and paintings every three days?

Mo Wen glanced at the valuable calligraphy and painting and casually told the servant that it should be put in the warehouse.He couldn't explain it, so he laughed and said, which girl have you seen give this as a gift?

Su Yingmiao was right when he thought about it, he couldn't remember what was wrong for the time being, so he casually explained that you'd better go and see the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow.

"Give me a reason why I must go."

Su Yingmiao gave him a disdainful look, and said, because after the sacrifice, Chu Zi feasted on all the officials.

Mo Wen looked at him intently and couldn't refute for a while.

At that palace banquet, Mo Wen sat on the left of Xu Liwenyuan as the head of the generals, and Li Jinghua sat on the right of Xu Liwenyuan as the head of the civil servants.

The Li family has a solid foundation in the court and Li Jinghua made many friends in his early years as an official. He has always been weak, and he kept greetings when he attended various palace banquets.

Mo Wen sat opposite him, leaning sideways to listen to Su Yingmiao's non-stop babbling because of the novelty of what he saw, while raising his bottle to drink.

Xu Liwenyuan, who was a few steps away, had a calm face, but unconsciously clenched his wine glass.

The same pattern, different glare.

After a round of drinking, Wu Jizhou began to bring people to refill the wine for the ministers.Su Yingmiao watched as Chu Zi's personal servant approached with a smile, and picked up the jug warmly and familiarly, but the wine seemed to turn a corner, and poured all over him without warning.

The superior person looked at him sideways, and said in a warm tone, General Su thought he was drunk so he could not hold the wine glass steady, and helped General Su to the side hall to rest.

Mo Wen frowned indistinctly, watching Su Yingmiao being half-lifted and half-supported away.

"I'm too drunk to drink, so I went outside to blow some air."

After speaking, Mo Wen got up and left.Xu Li Wenyuan put down all his courtiers and followed him.

"Aiqing's slightly drunk appearance makes people feel that it is easier to get close to him than usual." Xu Liwenyuan walked to him, stood side by side with him, and muttered to himself, "I haven't seen Mo Qing drunk yet, I don't know if Aiqing No matter how much you drink, you always feel that something is missing."

Facing the faint fragrance of aged wine, Mo Wen turned to look at him and asked, why are you targeting Su Yingmiao?

"Because he participated in your vigorous youth, and watched you grow from a youthful youth to a deep and silent lake. It is my lifelong regret to know you so late."

Mo Wen paused, unimaginably looking at the person in front of him and asking, jealous?

"Yes."

"why?"

He really didn't seem to understand, and he really didn't believe what Xu Liwenyuan said that he wanted to take him into the harem.

The boy suddenly put away his casual expression, and said word by word, because, the lonely king loves you.Mo Wen suddenly smiled a little on his usually plain face, and he asked back, love?Isn't it funny?

Looking up, there is one of the most majestic palace feathers in the entire continent. At first glance, there are glazed tiles and vermilion walls everywhere, and a gilded phoenix spreading its wings on the beams and pillars in front of the main hall.The sunlight cast from the corner of the eaves formed a large bright spot on the marble floor in front of it, which was somewhat dazzling.

The young man turned his head and pursed his lips vigorously, and said, Mo Qing, if you and I can't talk about love, then it's better to talk about power, what can keep you, and the lonely king is all ears.

"You can't give me what I want." Mo Wen looked at him deeply for a moment, then turned and left.

Xu Liwenyuan watched him go away, paused, and suddenly laughed at the carved beams and painted buildings in front of him, and said lightly after laughing, there is nothing that the Gu Wang Jiuwu Supreme can't give.If the lonely king can't even give it to you, then Mo Qing, I'm afraid it will be hard for you to ask for it in your life.

Young people always have the heroic spirit of young people, full of high-spirited and unscrupulous temperament, Xu Liwenyuan is like this, Su Yingmiao is like this, and Li Jinghua is like this, young and romantic can be painted.

Mo Wen was the only one, with gloomy eyes under an indifferent face.

Mo Wen has always had very little expression on his face, but he is gentle and gentle, and his self-denial and etiquette will give people the illusion of affection when he gets close.This is how he is, but the look between his brows and eyes has never changed. From a distance, he is silent, but from a distance, he is indifferent.

It was the alienation in his bones, Xu Liwenyuan knew that even if such a person embraced someone one day, he might not be sincere, but he didn't want to let it go, he had to force it.

It rained at dusk, and Mo Wen stayed in the palace.

After the rain stopped, the air was fine, and he walked aimlessly on the bluestone road of Chu Palace, heading north along the palace wall.

After leaving the Chengqing Hall, to the north is the Yongchang Palace and Xiangxu Terrace, and further north is the Luoyun Palace, the palace that was destroyed by an inexplicable fire 20 years ago.Now 20 years have passed, and the ruins are still desolate.

Everything is as it was.After leaving, there is nothing new.

The sound of music came from afar, intermittently in the evening wind, Mo Wen followed the sound and arrived at Taiye Pool before he knew it.The night fog continued to steam upwards along the surface of the lake, and the pool of doves swayed gently in the breeze, red as blood.

A person in the pavilion was concentrating on playing the qin, and his red robes were fluttering, looking from a distance, it looked like a ball of fire.

"What did Aiqing think of?" Qu Ba, Xu Liwenyuan looked up at him, and then asked softly.

"Huh? No."

"Tell me the story of the frontier."

"Beyond the Great Wall? Outside the Great Wall there are city gates that are closed all day long and the wind from the wasteland blows back and forth." He didn't refuse, nor did he say much.

Close your eyes and feel it with your heart.The pool is full of sweet doves swaying, the pool is full of blood, and the pool is full of dark fragrance.Mo Wen closed his eyes and his face was slightly pale, his brows were full of suffocating pain.

Xu Liwenyuan looked at his cold eyebrows through the flickering candlelight. After a long time, he sighed softly and plucked the strings again to play a song.

Looking at the 200-year history of Chu State and the 500-year history of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Xu Liwenyuan is probably the only one who dares to speak out blatantly if he looks at a man.But for no reason, he felt that he would definitely get what he wanted. This is the confidence he has cultivated for 17 years as the heir of Chu Zi, because the destiny is like this.

"Mo Qing, have you received the jade that the lonely king gave you?"

Mo Wen frowned and remained silent.

Xu Liwenyuan smiled and said, it seems that Mo Qing didn't pay attention to the calligraphy and painting I sent over at all.Although the calligraphy and painting are also masterpieces, the entrance is actually the two phoenixes on the box.If you look carefully, there are words on it, seven paintings and seven addresses, corresponding to seven pawnshops. If Mo Qing goes there, she will get seven incomplete keys. Putting them together, they can open the secret compartment of the side hall of Chengqing Hall. There is a piece of The jade pendant was made by dozens of craftsmen who worked tirelessly for [-] days.The original jade pendant is the piece that is going to be the queen's jade seal.

After the song was over, the young man got up and walked in front of Mo Wen, whispering in his ear, it doesn't matter if Mo Qing didn't get the jade pendant, the future will be long.Now I would like to ask Ai Qing, did you see the notice that the lonely king ordered someone to post in front of the city gate?

"There are notices on the city gate every day. I wonder what day the king said?"

Although there are notices on the city gate every day, they talk more about state affairs. Mo Wenyuan certainly doesn’t know what day the young man is talking about, but if he wants to ask Xu Liwenyuan like this, he will let him go. He just smiled softly, Repeatedly, from now on, no green shirts and silver armors will be seen in Tianliang City, offenders will be punished severely.

"Because you are an invincible general, except for you, everyone in the Chu Kingdom is not allowed to wear green clothes or silver armor, and even this person whose surname is Mo is not allowed to use it."

Some things seemed to deviate too far from the expected track, Mo Wen's eyebrows were tightly clustered together, looking at the night mist rising from the Taiye Pool, he was speechless for a while.

Xu Liwenyuan leaned close to his ear, as if he wanted to say something again, but in the next second he grabbed Mo Wen's neck and pulled him close to kiss him.

Mo Wen didn't take a step back, he opened his eyes and watched the young man's face zoom in before his eyes, feeling the young man prying his teeth open and doing anything wrong between his lips and teeth.When Xu Liwenyuan let him go, Mo Wen still showed no expression.

The faint candlelight was flickering, Mo Wen's face was half in the light and half in the shadow, he turned his head and said lightly, "Do you love me?"As long as you kneel down and kiss my boots inch by inch, I will believe you.

Xu Liwenyuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, stopped laughing, looked deeply into Mo Wen's eyes, and said, if one day someone threatens the lonely king with your life, he will kneel down and kiss him.And between you and me, no matter how you react, the lonely king is bound to win.

Mo Wen frowned, as if he was deeply trapped in doubts, and it took him a long time to ask, why?

"Why, you must always know why, what is the reason for the origin and extinction, but if Mo Qing insists on knowing, the lonely king can tell you, never think that you and I should stop at the simple friendship between monarch and minister."
