"Brother-"

As soon as Chu Heng left the gate of Changji Hall, he heard a lazy greeting. Ye Shuli held up his fan to cover the sun, and was waiting for him standing under the shade of a tree.

Chu Heng bent his eyes and smiled, and said in a leisurely tone, "You still know to come to see me on your own initiative, okay, you can avoid the death penalty."

As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was talking about the story, Ye Shuli asked without repentance: "I think this idea is very good, you and Dongjun are having an affair, who can doubt that you two are the same person, Could it be that this has not been hidden from His Majesty? Impossible... hey!"

Chu Heng snatched Ye Shuli's fan, and raised his hand to give him a slap. Ye Shuli took a step back, quickly avoided, and shouted: "Hey, hey, why did you suddenly turn your face? Okay? Alright, I can't beat you, so let's not talk... hey wait!"

Ye Shuli had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly caught something, and looked at Chu Heng inquiringly: "Brother, don't you have someone you like? Then your sweetheart saw the script, became jealous, and lost his temper with you Already?" The more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

"Ye Shuli—" Chu Heng raised his voice at the end.

"Ok?"

"I see you are really itchy!"

"!!" Ye Shuli ran away, one in front of the other, Chu Heng chased a few feet away, Ye Shuli stopped and turned around, admitting defeat with a smile: "Wrong, wrong, this time it's true!" Let's not talk about it, I will pay you two jars of wine later, okay? Let's go, go see the uncle and the others first. The market is open in the city today, so if you are free, you will be free. After we see you, we will go down the mountain to pick a few catties of crabs. Drink and eat."

The autumn wind blows, and the crab legs are fat.Chu Heng nodded "reluctantly", and threw the fan back into his arms, saying, "Your treat."

The two went to the Astrology Pavilion.

While talking on the road, Ye Shuli suddenly remembered something, "Brother, you sent me a letter a while ago saying that Xiao Xinghui doesn't return home every day and night in the Hall of Martial Heroes, is it true or not?"

In fact, this matter is a long story, the general reason is that the young master offended the elder brother severely, Dong Jun was so frightened by the anger that he did not dare to sleep alone in the room, and finally "fleeed" and hid in Su Lang's room , sharing the same bed for more than a month... It becomes a habit to sleep together.

Chu Heng said, "Be true."

Ye Shuli knocked on the fan, and saw an opportunity to make a lot of money. The words of the young master of Lishan Mountain, the brothers and sisters must be happy to hear it.

The two looked at each other with smiles, and Chu Heng said, "The accounts are split fifty-fifty."

"Deal!" Ye Shuli said, "What good is he doing with the second child in the imperial capital and Duke Ying's family?"

Chu Heng picked out a few things and said with a smile, "Seriously do the math, Xiao Xinghui already belongs to someone else."

"What do you mean?"

Chu Heng said: "In Ulsan, Xinghui and Xiao Gaomin, the eldest son of the Marquis of Yong'an met each other, and the two started fighting. Your junior brother killed the eldest son's top-quality Zhaoye jade lion, and Su Lang paid the eldest son three thousand gold."

Hearing the name of "Xiao Gaomin", Ye Shuli's eyes moved slightly, and soon returned to normal, "tsk": "3000 taels? Su Lang is so willing."

"Isn't it?" Chu Heng laughed while talking, teasing, "Little Xinghui 'can't pay it back', so he had to pay off the debt with his own body, and compensated himself to others."

"Okay!" Ye Shuli praised, "The emperor didn't go in vain, he arranged for himself."

"By the way, senior brother," Ye Shuli asked casually, "You mean, Xinghui started fighting with Xiao Gaomin as soon as he saw him?"

Chu Heng nodded, "It's not without reason that the Yichong Xiao family can always be the number one family of Dayin. The people at the helm from generation to generation are all elites."

"This matter has been broken. In fact, Xiao Gaomin deliberately wanted to form a relationship with Xinghui, so he lit a fire when they met. Otherwise, with his family education of the son of Yi Chong, how could he make fun of the elders who died in other people's families? Xinghui really called him a few words The words exploded, and he drew his sword directly. In terms of martial arts, the two of them are evenly divided, but Xiao Gaomin didn't really want to fight, and there were still a lot of children from the aristocratic family at that time, so he pulled the two of them apart in a hurry." ①

"Xiao Gaomin is a stubborn stubble, and your junior brother doesn't give in too much. Ye Xinghui is the only one who dares not to give Xiao Gaomin face among the sixteenth family. The lion was chopped off, blood was splashed all over his body, and he turned his head and left. When he came out of the Ulsan hunting ground, he nearly fainted from the fright of the gate guards. Fortunately, Su Lang chased after him, otherwise Pingjing would be full of storms. Finally, he arrived at Yuqian , Xinghui paid the horse money, Xiao Gaomin bowed his head and apologized, it was okay on the surface."

Ye Shuli touched his chin after listening, and commented: "The aura is not harmonious, this is, two characters who can walk sideways in the imperial capital are on the line, it is quite exciting."

He paused, and his tone seemed casual, "After Ulsan's fall, Xiao Gaomin will return to Yichong, right?"

"Could it be possible to stay in the imperial capital and compete with Xinghui every day?" Chu Heng laughed, "In the past two years, let alone the eldest son of their family, even Xiaohou didn't often stay in the imperial capital, and he didn't even come to Ulsan Qiuxi. .”

"I don't want to get involved." Ye Shuli said.

How long has Dayin established the country, and how many generations of emperors have passed through the Yichong and Xiao clans. The more they compete for the highest position, the less they will intervene. Marquis Yong'an.The Yishan Academy will not fall, and the Xiao family in Yichong will not decline—this is the iron family.

It is very difficult for a family in Kyushu to recreate the legend of Yi Chong, because the succession of the title must be downgraded. The sixteenth family has made great contributions to the founding of the country. If they are downgraded to the third uncle, they will not be downgraded again. But by then, the family will really fall.If you want to survive, you must have power, and power comes from merit, and merit is nothing greater than Conglong.

From the summer of last year to the end of autumn this year, there have been many seemingly minor incidents in Kyushu that may affect the overall situation in the past year. There is a big wave.

Wanzhou is the place where King Jing was rooted. Originally, like Changzhou, it was a place where the aristocratic clans were intertwined and the imperial court had insufficient control.With the death of Grandpa Yan, Duke Qing's Ding You kept his filial piety, and the Yan family in Tanchuan declined. The emperor took the opportunity to infiltrate forces in Wanzhou, slowly dismantling the family fortress, and some families that originally held neutrality were shaken or biased.

Sitting on the emperor's throne is Ling Ye, and time is waiting for him, so he can make long-term plans and respond to all changes with the same.But respecting the king was not enough. If the emperor stepped forward, he would be one foot away from that position. Year after year, when the emperor's power really sank into Wanzhou, his death would not be far away.

So it won't be long.Today's Wanzhou is still dominated by King Jing, plus the Yunzhou families headed by the Fang family of Cangwu, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, but King Jing often walks with them; the adjacent Changzhou is also a beach full of wealthy families. The quagmire is more difficult to control than Wanzhou, and the most indispensable thing among them is the weeds to fish in troubled waters, but this is not a bad thing for King Jing. Some families that are not trusted by the emperor, such as the Dingkang Zhou family, have secretly surrendered to the emperor. he.Counting like this, the internal strength is insufficient, and if you borrow the external strength of Beidi and Yu Jiang, it is not impossible to win.

"Next year is the new year. In March, princes from all over the world will go to Beijing for a pilgrimage to report on their duties. Something will definitely happen."

The two chatted all the way, and they had already arrived at the Xingxing Pavilion. Ye Shuli and Chu Heng went in together to meet Mu Xiyun first.

The elders bowed down in a circle and talked one by one. It was getting late, but fortunately, they caught up with the last wave of fat crabs when they went to the restaurant in the city, and they finally had a dust-cleaning feast when they brought them back to Lishan.

……

Autumn passed and winter came, and in a blink of an eye it was approaching the end of the new year. As winter entered, Mu Xiyun accidentally caught wind and cold, brought on the old diseases that had fallen from the past, and fell ill for a long time, and spent a long time recuperating on the bed.

Chu Heng cared about her, so he was not in a hurry to go back to the imperial capital years ago, and stayed in Lishan to take care of his teacher's illness, and together with Ye Shuli, he shared some government affairs in the city for Ye Jianwei.

He often wrote to Ling Ye, and Fei Falcon sent letters every three days, which made Ye Shuli, who already thought that the elder brother had no wife, began to suspect again that he had a goblin in the imperial capital, and he must be very annoying.

However, the elder brother suppressed it with absolute force, so that Gui Jianchou, who wanted to find out if there was a love letter in the letter, still failed, and it was a bit regrettable.So this matter was finally handed over to the young master in the imperial capital, who must catch the little goblin who seduced them.

The young master patted his chest when he saw the letter, and he responded with all his mouth.

……

In the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, Chu Heng set off for Lushui in Guangling—the little uncle was buried there. This town near the water, which was once called "Erfei", lost its original name, and also lost its former name. A proud member of the Medicine Sect.

36 Pei Chunshui, Baitou wants to see Jiangnan. ②

Gui Haiming never returned to his Jiangnan in his life.

There has long been no Er Fei in the world, and Lushui is the closest place to hometown.

After Mingyuan died, Dongjun decided to bury him back to his hometown.

Chu Heng has been to Lushui many times, but he never had the courage to come to Mingyuan's tomb.It's the same this time, the Chinese New Year is coming, he wants to go outside the cemetery and burn a stick of incense.

Taking the waterway from Ningzhou, it was unfortunate that there was a cold wave and heavy snow on the way, and both water and land roads were closed.

Fortunately, I passed the news to my master and wife earlier, but this year, I am not in the palace or in Lishan, and I will spend it outside.

That's fine, let's just be my little uncle.

Chu Heng thought so.

Fishes and dragons danced on the Guangling Long Street, and the lights were brilliant. Chu Heng was wearing a thick cloak and hat, avoiding the lively crowd, and walked quickly.

The plum blossoms on the corner of the street were quietly blooming. Chu Heng passed under the plum tree, and met a person with the same cloak and mask, whose whole body was covered under a black robe, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The moment they passed by, the man in black suddenly stretched out his hand, and affectionately brushed off the plum blossoms that fell on Chu Heng's shoulders. He spoke in a low voice, "Lishan Mountain Lord, Chu Heng."

He said, Dong Jun Chu Heng, not Ji Wuyue.

Chu Heng's pupils shrank suddenly, and his footsteps stopped suddenly. At the same time, he turned his head to look at the man in black: "Mahayana."

The man gave a low laugh without denying it, "We will meet again," he said slowly, "Ah Yue."

The coolness spread from Chu Heng's toes to the top of his heart. He stood in place and watched the man disappear into the vast night with a few wrong steps.

Chu Heng's fingers trembled slightly, not only the man's martial arts realm, but also those doubts that had been lingering in his heart seemed to be connected by a thread, he almost subconsciously thought of his wife's peerless master "old friend", the head of the imperial capital The person who looks like a little uncle on the street, the master's insightful answer, the complicated and sad expression, and the "he" in his mouth...

Chu Heng felt as if there were a thousand catties on his feet. He looked at the Lushui Cemetery where his junior uncle was buried in the distance, thinking in a very ridiculous direction, but back then at the Tianshuang Terrace on Lishan Mountain, it was he who pierced his heart with his own hands. , there will never be false.

But just now, that person called him "A Yue"...

Chu Heng suddenly didn't dare to go to the cemetery anymore. There was a voice in his heart, if the little uncle hadn't died back then...

The cold wind of the winter night blew past, plum blossoms fell all over his body, Chu Heng clenched his fingers, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down, he turned around, turned his back to the direction of the cemetery, and closed his eyes.

No matter who that person is, the appearance of a new Mahayana realm will inevitably shake the existing structure of Kyushu, especially when there will be a storm at any moment - he must return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

--------------------

Still in the transitional chapter, Xuanxi's ten years are over, and 00zi and Hua have been separated for four months.In the end, the Guangling section was written in Canghai, but for the sake of timeline connection and follow-up plot needs, I still have to write it like this.

①For the reasons why Xiao Xiao and Xing Hun deliberately married each other, see "Chapter 80 Prince ([-])". PS Persimmon can be tied with Su Lang and Xinghui, but it is still a little short of the ghost, so... um~

② "36 Pei..." comes from "Two Poems on the West Taiyi Palace Wall". In this article, Guangling is not a real ancient Yangzhou.In addition, Zhao Yeyu Lion is the name of a horse.

③The 00 will be written soon, the next chapter will be cheerful, it should be said that the next few chapters will be cheerful hahaha, Persimmon and Shuli will also meet each other.The next chapter will probably be Sunday night or early morning.
