no king

", dressed in black, the cuffs and hem were embroidered with auspicious clouds of strange beasts with complicated golden threads, which clinged ferociously to "his" brocade robe, as if he was about to swallow people into his stomach at any time. There was a coldness of war in his breath. This uneasy feeling made people around him ignore "his" handsome and striking appearance, making people afraid to look directly at him.

A smile flashed in the corner of his eyes, I'm afraid everyone was deceived by this man.

In his straight gaze, Sima Huai quickly found the source of that gaze.After discovering that it was an old friend, he nodded slightly, and a vague smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

Li Gu, the official of the Ministry of Rites who didn't know what to say, saw that King Ning finally had a smile on his mouth, let go of his heart, and finally made the little prince happy.

Sima Huai led his subordinates towards the palace. In Li Gu's statement just now, His Majesty allowed King Ning to go back to the palace to rest first, and then return to the palace later.

The surrounding people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw King Ning and his party enter the city on horseback, and started discussing in private.

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Ning led the Fenghuo Battalion to kill Hu Weixie and made a great contribution."

"That's right, Hu Weixie, the great prince of Quanrong, killed countless soldiers of our Great Wei at the border six years ago, and even General Chu died in battle. This time, His Highness King Ning is really fighting for the face of our Great Wei."

"However, I heard that King Ning is very cruel and likes to kill. He even killed prisoners."

"Isn't it just to kill Quanrong! It should be killed, this time I will stand for His Highness King Ning."

"I also stand for His Royal Highness King Ning."

"Not only murdered the prisoners, but also acted arbitrarily and domineeringly in Suzhou."

"Where did you know that?"

"Hi, my cousin from afar is doing business in Suzhou, he came back and told me."

"I really didn't expect King Ning to be such a person."

"More than that, there are also rumors that King Ning is not close to women, and he is suspected of having broken sleeves!"

"I've never heard of this. But His Royal Highness King Ning doesn't look like Duanxiu."

"It's really not like that. I just sneaked a glimpse of some heroic female generals in the beacon camp before entering the city."

"I guess Ning Wang should be a man and a woman."

"Tsk tsk, princes and nobles like to play this kind of game these days. I heard that in Suzhou, King Ning likes to win over those young talents to be the guest of honor."

"And there's more..."

Lu Boqian smiled wryly when he heard the so-called truth from the people. How many of these rumors are true?That guy Sima is also calm and breezy, he has ignored these slanderous words since he was in Suzhou.

However, these rumors are thought-provoking.He turned his head and glanced at Hong Yang beside him who was silently suppressing his anger.Hong Yang was born in the Fenghuo Camp in Suzhou. When he was the chief bookkeeper in Suzhou, he was dispatched by Sima Huai to protect his safety. Until now, he has become Lu Boqian's confidant.

"Hong Yang?"

"Young master." Hong Yang hurriedly replied when he heard Lu Boqian's voice.

"But angry, after hearing these incomplete rumors?" Lu Boqian said in a deep voice.

"My lord... this subordinate just... please punish me, lord." Hong Yang knelt down on one knee without any objection.

Hong Yang was interrupted by Lu Boqian before he finished speaking. He looked at the embarrassment and nervousness of the strong man in front of him, and said: "It's human nature, you were once under the command of King Ning, anger shows that you have affection, you have obeyed me for many years but Never disregarding my orders is loyalty, how can I blame you for such a loyal person, as his friend, I am naturally angry, there is no need to perform such a great gift, get up."

"Yes, thank you, young master." Hong Yang said with red eyes.

"There's something you need to do."

"Sir, please speak."

He smiled slightly and whispered a few words in Hong Yang's ear.Hong Yang understood immediately, and hurriedly followed the person who just spoke.

Lu Boqian looked at the distant figure and nodded in satisfaction.Hong Yang used to be a scout of the Beacon Camp. He is highly skilled in martial arts, has a clear mind and quick response, and is best at tracking. Send him to find out who is talking behind his back.

He called the servant who was waiting not far away, got into the carriage, bowed his head and said a few words, and slowly headed into the city.

Sima Huai stood under the plaque at the gate of King Ning's Mansion and looked at it for a long time, but he hadn't come back for six years.

Get off your horse and enter the mansion.

It's still the same as before.

Tong Run watched His Highness walk in on his own without disturbing him. He discussed with Lin Cang first, and then directed everyone in the Fenghuo Camp to settle down in King Ning's Mansion.

The unchanged lake pavilion in the palace, the lush green bamboos by the lake, and the wooden house I rebuilt when I was a child are still brand new after many years, without a trace of dust.

Sima Huai stayed in the palace for half an hour, then called Tong Run to accompany him into the palace.

Tong Run had already prepared the carriage and was waiting for His Highness's order.

······

The Zichen Palace of the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Jinghui, Sima, wore a bright yellow dragon robe, and sat in front of the dragon case to review the beating stamps. He rubbed his temple with one free hand, and Yuan Yi, a servant beside him, hurriedly handed him a cup of hot tea.

Sima Zong took a sip of tea lightly, then turned his head and asked, "Did King Ning come to Beijing?"

"Return to Your Majesty, King Ning sent a message just now, and estimated the time, he has already arrived at Danfeng Gate." Yuan Yi replied with a sharp voice with a smile.

Finally back!

Six years ago, he had just ascended the throne for one year, and the situation in the court was unstable. When the ten-year mark came, the dog army continued to invade the border of the Great Wei, and the Southern Shu also continued to test the territory of the Great Wei. The younger sister complied with the wishes of the people of Suzhou , at the age of 11, she volunteered to go to Suzhou! The 11-year-old was supposed to be a carefree child in the palace under his own protection!Enjoy the infinite love and glory in the world!Why bother to suffer in the barren land of Suzhou!The letters sent by her uncle over the years have recorded the wars she participated in, big and small. Every word and every word in the letter is crushing the heart of a brother.kill!Attacked!Dive into the heart of the enemy!He even disappeared after falling off a horse, and it took more than half a year to find it from the territory of the Donghu people in the north.His heart hurts so much, and he regrets so much. He shouldn't have believed the nonsense of this bear girl six years ago!

"Father is dead, and the dog army is invading. As the royal family, you and I both have important responsibilities. I will naturally have my uncle's protection when I go to Suzhou. You still need to control the situation in the world in the court."

"..."

"For my father's last wish to rule the world, I will go too."

"..."

"You trust me the most, don't you?"

"..."

"Brother, I have to go."

"..."

"I have a responsibility in the ten-year contract."

"..."

"I will return safely."

"..."

On the night of the farewell day, he regretted, regretted his cruelty, regretted why he agreed!There is also the ten-year agreement proposed by Quanrong, if there is no such agreement, why would the little girl pretend to be a man for many years without being able to recover her identity!

The more Sima Zong thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he took another sip of the cold tea.After adjusting his mentality, he said in a deep voice, "What can I say to the emperor's grandmother?"

"Return to Your Majesty, someone has been sent to deliver the letter."

"Arrange it, prepare meals in Yong'an Palace, and I will have meals with the emperor's grandmother and brother."

"Yes, slave will do it now."

When Sima Huai entered the Zichen Palace, he saw his elder brother dozing off in front of the dragon table with his eyes closed. The bright yellow dragon robe made him even more heroic and extraordinary. His handsome face was tired. He was the only one in the hall, sitting there alone. , aloof.

"Brother Huang." Sima Huai called softly with a sore throat.

"En?" Sima Zong slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw her, his eyes burst into surprise.

"Ah Huai!" The figure quickly got up and rushed out from the front of the dragon case.run to her.

"Brother Huang..." Sima Huai was held too tightly by him, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his body was stiff, and even his voice was a little bit cold.

Sima Zong felt her discomfort, let go of his hand embarrassingly, then stared at her with burning eyes, "You used to call me brother!!"

"..." Sima Huai was speechless for a while.

It took a long time before he called out: "Brother."

"Ah Huai is so good." The tiredness on the young emperor's face was swept away, and there was a smile on his face that was [-]% similar to hers.

"It's been hard on the road, take a rest." Sima Zong didn't hesitate to drag his younger sister to the dragon couch.

Sima Huai rolled his eyes in his heart, "I just rested in the palace."

"That's not going to work, it will take a while to walk from Danfeng Gate, take a break." Sima Zong's expression of pampering was very obvious.

"My A Huai has grown taller, her appearance has become more and more outstanding, and she has reached the age of starting a family." Sima Zong looked at the handsome lines on his sister's face and slender eyebrows, and felt sore in his heart. Growing up made him regret even more.

"I have no idea of ​​starting a family." He replied firmly.

"Nonsense, the age of Jiji has already passed, let's take advantage of this time to return to Beijing to settle the lifelong affairs together." Sima Zong was a little anxious, it is impossible not to get married, and no one would want such a bad temper.

"I reject."

"Rejection is invalid."

"Then I'll go back to Suzhou!" Sima Huai narrowed his eyes and said word by word.The trump card is brought out, are you afraid that he will not compromise?

As soon as he heard his sister said that he was going back to Suzhou, Sima Zong immediately became anxious, and quickly said: "Think I didn't mention it."

At this moment, Yuan Yi entered the palace and said that Yong'an Palace had come to remind him.The two brothers and sisters got up and went to Yong'an Palace.

When I came to Yong'an Palace, I saw a black-haired old man wearing a dark purple palace dress waiting anxiously.

"Grandmother." The black figure ran up to the old man.

"My bosom is back." The empress dowager embraced the good granddaughter in her bosom with tears in her eyes.

"I'm back." His tone suddenly softened.

Sima Zong stood aside, feeling a bit apprehensive
