hermit meets king

Concubine Ruan, who was dressed in elegance and luxury, could not tell that she was a woman who was nearly forty years old, but she looked like a young girl in her 20s.

He just looked at Xu Yanzhuo who was lying on the bed, and didn't express condolences for his injuries or anything else.

Instead, he reprimanded severely, "Why are you so negligent and reckless? You don't even bring your bodyguards and dark guards. Do you know how many pairs of eyes are watching behind you? Your uncle said long ago that the prince is not that simple. Empress Xia's family."

No matter how impatient Xu Yanzhuo was, he could only listen.Family again, royalty, never me.

After the imperial concubine left, Xu Yanzhuo let his servants help him to the room where Qi Wen was recovering from his injuries.

Qi Wenxiu was injured on his back and couldn't lie down.Now she is wearing a pure white underwear, with her hair loose, lying on the bed, playing with Jiulianhuan in her hand.Suddenly looks young and childish.

He was not at all like the handsome scholar who was usually dressed as a scholar, and he was even less like the strong and resolute man yesterday who was one against ten.How many faces does he have, and how much of him does he not see?

Can't help being attracted, want to know more, just like now, even if he is injured, he wants to come over and take a look, see what he is doing?

"The prince is here." Qi Wenxiu saw the person standing in front of the door supported by a servant and looked at him, and said, "Why did you get off the ground?"

Xu Yanzhuo asked the servant to put the chair in front of the bed, helped him to sit on the chair, and asked, "Can I go to heaven if I don't get off the ground?"

"My lord was joking." Qi Wenxiu put aside the Nine Chains in his hand, "What's the matter, lord?"

Xu Yanzhuo picked up the Jiulianhuan that had been put aside, and saw that it had been untied.Then it was shaken off again, and I played with it in my hand. "The concubine came just now."

"Come to see your injury?" Qi Wenxiu chatted.

"Yes." Xu Yanzhuo played with the Jiulianhuan in his hand, "Unfortunately not, my mother is the most loyal puppet of the family."

Qi Wenxiu looked at the prince who bowed his head, and said such childish words, he was not talking about the concubine, but the mother, and there was even resentment in his tone.

It can be seen that he loves and hates this concubine mother at the same time. "When you are strong enough to control the family, the imperial concubine will no longer have to be controlled by others."

"Easier said than done?" Xu Yanzhuo looked up at Qi Wenxiu, hoping that he could help him. "Several elders and two major departments are holding back."

Qi Wenxiu met Xu Yanzhuo's trusting eyes and said slowly, "My lord needs to start cultivating his own strength."

"How can we not be discovered." Xu Yanzhuo had thought about this problem a long time ago, but he was like a chess piece on the chessboard, and he knew it at a glance.

Qi Wenxiu changed his posture and lay on his stomach, "The prince was alone in the past, but now the prince has me and the entire Duluomen."

Qi Wenxiu looked at the man lying on the bed like a tortoise, and said such rhetoric that everyone could only dream of. The contrast was great, but it was very heartfelt.Isn't it because of himself that he is lying on the bed like this now?

He lay on the bed because of himself.

Thinking of this, those gorgeous eyebrows and eyes were stained peachy unconsciously, but he pretended to be calm and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"The prince needs to have his own elite army, and he also needs to cultivate his own Ruan clan, who will slowly change positions, erode the three elders, the two major departments, and finally become the prince's Ruan clan."

"The elite army, stealing the beams and changing posts, and constantly arranging their own people into the Ruan family?"

Xu Yanzhuo understands that these things are easy to say, but difficult to put into practice.It's hard not to be discovered just by raising an army.

Qi Wenxiu naturally understood his thoughts, and said, "The world is so big, and there is a remote mountain and valley isolated from the world, who cares about farmers hoeing. As for money and materials, the prince only needs to prepare, and the grass-roots people can help him with a lot of money." Once implemented."

Indeed, after all, it would be convenient for Duromen to do many things in Jianghu.Xu Yanzhuo suddenly felt that there was nothing in this world that couldn't trouble him. With him around, things that were difficult to meditate in the past and had no way out would become easier, "Then I will trouble Wenxiu with this matter?"

Qi Wenxiu didn't realize that someone called him by his name directly, but he couldn't say anything when he saw the prince's closeness, "It's the grassroots' duty to share the worries of the prince."

"Don't be a lord." Xu Yanzhuo waved his hand, "In the future, you can call me Yan Zhuo, and I can call you Qixiu."

"It's not polite." Qi Wenxiu was about to get up.

Xu Yanzhuo held down Qi Wenxiu's hand who was about to get up, and said, "There is no etiquette in this life-threatening friendship between you and me. Besides, this king has never been a man of etiquette."

In Tai'an Palace, Xu Sheng received a report from a spy.

In order to gain the trust of the second emperor brother, Qi Wenxiu really went all out.

After burning the news, he went out and saw the young man practicing swords there, and waved, "Come here, I'll take you out to play today."

Si Koulin took away the mahogany sword, followed Xu Sheng to the stable, and led the horse out.After this period of time, Si Koulin has learned to ride a horse, and he has his own little red horse.

"Where are you going?" Si Koulin asked, usually riding horses with Xu Sheng in the outskirts of the capital.

"I'll take you to a good place today. Let's go hunting in the mountains too." Xu Sheng replied, there is something that must be confirmed.

"Hunting?" Si Kou Lin's influence on hunting was still in Si Kou country, a large group of people were hunting in the mountains with bows.But this is just two people.

"You've been staying at home, aren't you bored?" Xu Sheng rode in front, leading the way.Riding neither fast nor slow, so that Si Kou Lin could follow.

The place I went this time was a bit far away. I haven't left the capital city yet, but it is in the most suburban area of ​​the capital city.

The two listened at the foot of a mountain, and Xu Sheng immediately looked at this hunting place, which couldn't compare to Mingshan.This is the place where high officials and nobles in the capital can come here to hunt.

"We are hunting here today." Xu Sheng explained to Si Koulin, "There will be various animals inside. If you like, we can take some back."

"Ah?" Si Koulin was puzzled, "They are not fruits, how can they just take them away?"

"That's fine." Xu Sheng whipped his horse and rode in front, "Don't forget that we are here to hunt today."

Let's see if the boy is really psychic.

Si Koulin followed Xu Sheng on his horse.

After galloping halfway up the mountain, Xu Sheng stopped suddenly, bent his bow, and aimed at a jungle.

Si Koulin followed behind Xu Sheng, and also stopped, looking curiously at what Xu Sheng was doing?Follow his gaze and see a deer.

In an instant, Si Koulin saw the deer's eyes, and clearly felt that the deer sensed danger, full of fear and fear.

Xu Sheng was about to shoot his bow, but suddenly heard the voice of the boy behind him stopping him, "Don't kill him." Xu Sheng turned to look at the boy.

Si Koulin drove his horse to Xu Sheng's side, "Can you not kill him?"

Xu Sheng put down his bow and arrow, and was about to ask Si Koulin why, but he saw the deer that had been hiding in the jungle jumping in front of the young man, as if he was not afraid of him at all.

Riding on the horse, the child smiling like an elf tentatively reached out and touched the horns on the deer's head.

After touching it, he quickly withdrew his hand, turned his head and smiled at Xu Sheng, a little embarrassed, but also a little cute.

After a few jumps, the deer got into the jungle and disappeared.

Si Koulin couldn't find a reason to explain his behavior just now.

It was Xu Sheng who spoke first, "It's interesting, isn't it?"

"Huh?" Si Koulin thought that he would definitely ask himself something, and if he asked, he would tell him.

"I knew you were drunk last time." Xu Sheng said slowly.

"You know? Then don't you think I'm strange?" Si Koulin looked incredulous. Although he guessed that he might have known it before, he didn't seem to be alienated from himself during this time.

Xu Sheng rode his horse and took a step closer to him, staring at Si Koulin with a pair of golden eyes, "Do you think I'm strange?"

"No, it's not surprising." Si Koulin was stared at by him, and he didn't dare to look at him, so he replied somewhat stammeringly.

"Then it will be done." Xu Sheng's eyes were still fixed on him, "Whether it's strange or not, only we can decide."

"Okay." Si Koulin turned his head away, avoiding his gaze, a little blush appeared on his snow-white skin.

"Then let's go." Xu Sheng took Si Kou Lin for a gallop on the mountain.During this period, nothing strange happened to the boy.Xu Sheng took the initiative to ask, "What did you see on this mountain?"

"What did you see?" Si Koulin asked in confusion, didn't he see the same thing?

"It's nothing, I'm just bored." Xu Sheng got off his horse and prepared to walk slowly for a while.

Si Koulin also got off the horse, thinking in his heart whether he should say it or not.Holding the rein of the horse, she walked beside Xu Sheng, glanced at him, and said hesitantly, "Actually, I know a place, and they all like to go there."

"Who?" "It's the animal here." Si Koulin explained, and said like a child sharing a little secret..."Do you want to go?" Xu Sheng stopped, looked at Si Koulin and said, "Okay... ..."

The two tied the horse together, and Si Koulin led the way.The road we walked at the beginning was okay, it was full of people, but we slowly walked into the deep mountains, where there were thorns and bushes everywhere, and there was no road at all.

Xu Sheng had no choice but to open the way ahead, opening the jungle alone with a sword in one hand and holding the reckless child in the other.

After walking for a long time, no one said to stop.

Xu Sheng wanted to see the strange place the child said, even this time there was no purpose in coming here, one was to prove his psychic nature, and the other was that there was a legend about a secret place here.

The dignitaries and nobles hunt here every year, but no one has ever seen that place.Over time, it has become a legend.

However, the carpenter Weng once told him that this Qiushen Mountain does have a secret place called Jingchitan.

Si Koulin didn't stop because he wanted to take Xu Sheng to see the secret that only he could know.

It's like a child who can't wait to take his favorite and closest people to share his secrets.

After walking for a long time, Xu Sheng felt the hand in his hand break away suddenly.The child next to him also stopped.

Xu Sheng stopped and looked at the child questioningly.

"Here we are." Si Koulin raised his head and looked into Xu Sheng's eyes, feeling a strong sense of a place for the first time, as if he belonged here in the first place.
