stepson

After Su Zhaoxue bid farewell to Su Zi Murui Niang, she continued to go to the capital.When walking to the nearest small towns to the capital, Su Zhaoxue unexpectedly met Shang Xuanlie in the inn.Very surprised, he stepped forward and said, "Why did you arrive in the capital so soon?"

At this time, Xuan Lie was sitting in the inn with a group of people for dinner, when he saw a handsome young man approaching him and talking to him familiarly.I was stunned for a moment, looked at his face carefully, and then remembered that it was Su Zhaoxue, but I hadn't seen each other for more than three months, the young man seemed to have changed from the original green and immature to mature, not as indisputable as before. Temperament, like a different person.

"Why don't you know who I am?" After saying this, Su Zhaoxue realized something was wrong, he had never used his true face to contact Shang Xuanlie, and smiled and said: "I am Su Zhaoxue."

"So it's Brother Zhaoxue." Shang Xuanlie took a deep look at him, and said, "Brother Zhaoxue is indeed very charming."

Su Zhaoxue snorted, ignored his joke, and asked the question again: "I thought the son would settle the affairs of the Bei'an Palace and return to the capital. On the way back to the capital, I met the prince."

"The emperor has already issued an order to get married on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. The marriage between me and Princess Yilian has been delayed for too long." Thinking of the troubled princess, Shang Xuanlie frowned slightly, obviously not liking this princess.He turned to smile and said: "It is really fate to meet brother Zhaoxue again today, hurry up, sit down together, we must have a good drink."

"I'm too strong to drink, so I'll have a drink with the prince instead of tea." Su Zhaoxue stepped forward and sat down.

From tea chatting to the current situation in the imperial capital, the two tacitly avoided talking about the time when Shang Xuanlie was poisoned.Su Zhaoxue thought that Shang Xuandong was rescued by Sima Lingyun, the two had already mixed together, and now they have a common enemy that is Shang Xuanlie.Thinking of this, he felt a little anxious, and didn't know how to tell Shang Xuanlie that his elder brother got mixed up with Sima Lingyun, who was added to the golden finger protagonist mode.Shang Xuandong must have some understanding of Shang Xuanlie, if Sima Lingyun took advantage of Shang Xuanlie's weakness, he might not be able to resist Shang Xuanlie if he used a cheap trick unexpectedly!Shang Xuanlie is very suspicious, Su Zhaoxue doesn't want to say these words to make him suspicious, then lead him to pay attention to Sima Lingyun.

"What happened to brother Zhaoxue?" Seeing that he was absent-minded, Shang Xuanlie asked aloud.

Su Zhaoxue said with a smile: "By the way, my brother encountered a strange thing on the way back. When passing by a village, a big iron bird suddenly descended from the sky with flames shining like the roc bird in the hypothesis. It was extremely fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Hey, it’s not a good thing that the sky is abnormal.”

Shang Xuanlie thought of the young scholar who was injured by three little iron birds with hidden weapons when he was on the grassland. The incident with the roc must have something to do with him.He remained silent, and suddenly thought of why Su Zhaoxue suddenly went from Jingcheng Road to the northwest?She smiled and asked, "Brother Zhaoxue, why did you go to the northwest?"

Damn, I kindly gave him a reminder, he actually doubted himself, Su Zhaoxue was a little annoyed, such suspicious people deserved to be tricked by Sima Lingyun.The smile on his face faded a little, and he said: "A friend of mine committed suicide by jumping into a river when he was young. After being rescued, his temperament changed drastically, and he forgot the past. Seeing that he left the capital suddenly, I was worried about him. So I followed all the way, but for some reason, I suddenly got lost in the northwest, and when I was about to return, I happened to meet the prince."

"How can you lose with brother Zhaoxue's kung fu?" Shang Xuanlie thinks that Su Zhaoxue's martial arts are good, so how could he lose?Could it be another secret?

"Your Majesty will definitely not believe it." Su Zhaoxue shivered as if he had thought of something, his face was filled with surprise, he leaned into Shang Xuanlie's ear, and whispered: "Why do I think that my friend is very No, I actually saw him disappear suddenly. When I saw this scene, I was so frightened that I thought I had encountered a ghost!"

Shang Xuanlie was startled, and suddenly thought of the scholar who met Princess Yilian in Bailong Temple. At that time, his kick was enough to kill a scholar who did not know martial arts. After he escaped, he asked his subordinates to chase after him. Also said it disappeared.Could it be that the scholar he met was Su Zhaoxue's old acquaintance?His face darkened, and he said solemnly: "Who is he?"

"His name is Sima Lingyun, and he is Sima Lingyun, the son-in-law of Sanyuan Village Chief Zhang Bao's family." Su Zhaoxue said with a smile when he saw that the topic had finally been brought to Sima Lingyun.

"Zhang Bao?" Shang Xuanlie was taken aback when he heard the name, but he believed Su Zhaoxue's words.Decided to send someone to investigate the background of Sima Lingyun for a while, thinking of the strange hidden weapon of that scholar, his eyes became more and more unpredictable.

Seeing that he had finally noticed Sima Lingyun, Su Zhaoxue raised her eyebrows and smiled.Although Shang Xuanlie's suspicion is a bit annoying, but such a cautious person is the object of cooperation.In the future, he will go out to sea with his old man Su Zimo, and he needs to have a backer on the inland. Going to sea is a smuggling job.With such a backer of Bei'an Palace, which the emperor dared not touch, it will be much smoother.However, the Bei'an Prince's Mansion borders the Tatar Kingdom and has been at war all year round, so he must be short of money. If he offers him a sum of money, Shang Xuanlie will definitely not refuse.Thinking of this, the dissatisfaction with Shang Xuanlie's suspicious temperament became a little less.

Speaking of which, Su Zhaoxue only had a superficial understanding of Shang Xuanlie, if Shang Xuanlie really doubted a person, he would not break the casserole and ask the end, but would just stand on the sidelines and let people follow him.Shang Xuanlie is very grateful for Su Zhaoxue's life-saving grace, but this person has a special status and has never made friends with others on an equal footing. The people who come to him are all people with various purposes. He is used to speculating on others hard work.

"Brother Zhaoxue, how could this scholar named Sima Lingyun be an old acquaintance?" Shang Xuanlie asked.

"Speaking of which, I'm actually a foreign surname brought by Weiyuan Hou Su Shunyu's concubine. When I was young, my aunt was upset by my mischievousness. She sent me to live in the Zhuangzi of Sanyuan Village for a few years. The children in the village have played. Sima Lingyun's father was a scholar, but his mother died early. After the scholar's father married his stepmother, he treated him harshly. But he studied hard and always wanted to get a good name and leave home. It was only because the stepmother Two silver coins, let him marry into Zhang Bao's house. If the Zhang family's girl is normal, it's fine, but the Zhang family's daughter is an idiot. Big change, not only that, but also lost his memory. He was tricked by his stepmother into the Zhang family to be his son-in-law." Thinking of the real Sima Lingyun whose soul returned to the underworld, Su Zhaoxue looked melancholy, and in his words, he read the book seriously. Sima Shusheng, who desperately wanted to change his fate, was full of nostalgia.

Seeing the sadness in his eyes, Shang Xuanlie felt comfortable in his heart, sneered and said: "A man is ruled by a woman, even if he passed the imperial examination to seek an official background, I'm afraid he will still be a weak and incompetent official."

"Not all people are like the prince, who is both wise and courageous. Sima Lingyun is obstinate in studying and studying, but has a pure and kind temper. If he enters the Hanlin Academy to edit books, he will be very suitable for him." Su Zhaoxue argued.

Hearing that he was still speaking for the scholar who plotted against him, Shang Xuanlie felt displeased, stood up and said coldly: "Brother Zhaoxue, use it slowly, brother is tired and wants to go to rest first." Zhao Xue reacted and led the guards into the backyard.

While walking, Shang Xuanlie murmured to himself with a gloomy face, he wanted to find out if Sima Lingyun was worthy of Su Zhaoxue's admiration!

What's wrong with this person?Su Zhaoxue was speechless.
