In this life, I will drink the long wind

The latecomers took over. "Yao Lingyun smiled calmly and gracefully, as if he couldn't understand the other meanings in King Wusun's words, and continued, "While remembering the past, you might as well look forward to witness I greatly appreciate the prosperity of the dynasty in the future. "

King Wusun's gaze shifted from Yanqing to Yao Lingyun, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you the son of Prime Minister Yao, the number one gifted scholar in Daxiang personally conferred by Emperor Qi?"

An attractive person possesses not only an outstanding appearance, but more importantly, the temperament and aura that come out from the bones.

Obviously Yao Lingyun is this kind of person.

King Loulan looked at him with satisfaction, thinking about the great praise that the fourth prince had given him just now, his desire to recruit him as his son-in-law deepened.

Yan Xu, who didn't say a word, turned his gaze back and forth on King Loulan and Yao Lingyun with great interest. I don't know what kind of expression the eldest brother will have when he hears King Loulan's request.

At this time, Yao Lingyun, who was in the center of the storm, didn't know what Yan Xu was thinking, he leaned slightly, and said modestly: "King Wusun praised you absurdly."

King Wusun raised his eyebrows and said: "Yao Xiang is too modest. With his ability, there are very few people in this world who can stand shoulder to shoulder, let alone those who surpass."

"King Wusun valued his father so much, which surprised Xun Po, and also felt honored." Yao Lingyun couldn't help but salute again to show his gratitude. After a moment of silence, he sighed and was full of emotion. At the end of the day when the oil runs out, the seven-foot coffin will be buried in the end. King Wusun really doesn’t need to worry too much. After decades of life, there is enough time for the next generation to thrive. Freshmen take over."

He valued Yao Mengxuan?What nonsense!

King Wusun has already cursed Yao Mengxuan eight hundred times in his heart. He just wanted to remind Daxiang that your founding humerus is gone. Value Yao Mengxuan?

The people of the Central Plains are indeed very cunning!

But the matter has come to this point, he can only admit it.

"My son is right. I have been educated." King Wusun didn't want to continue this topic anymore. After a quick word, he ignored Yao Lingyun and said to the superior Yan Chen, "I'm waiting for a few people This time I went to Beijing to pay homage, and along the way, I heard many things about your Highness amnesty for the world and tax relief."

After a slight pause, seeing that Yan Chen had no intention of speaking, King Wusun sighed, and then said: "There is little rainfall in the northwest area, and for some reason, there have been severe droughts in recent years. It is difficult for us and other countries in the Western Regions to survive. , given this good opportunity, I will request again, and I hope His Highness will also grant us grace and reduce the various tributes from the countries of the Western Regions for the sake of our mutual communication for many years."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.

What does my grand amnesty have to do with your foreign country?

Yan Chen on the high platform, face sinking like water, said calmly: "King Wusun seems to have forgotten one thing."

King Wusun didn't want the other party to react like this, straightened his back, held his head up, looked at Yan Chen from a distance, and said: "Please show me, Your Highness, let me keep my eyes and ears open to increase my knowledge."

"My Daxiang's brilliance today depends on the joint efforts of the whole country and its subjects. We are in the same boat and have aspirations together." Yan Chen said with no emotion on his face, showing no emotion, "I have amnesty for the world alone, and all the citizens of Daxiang can enjoy it." , but the Wusun Kingdom is a neighboring country of Daxiang, not a state, so how could it be possible to enjoy preferential treatment even though it has not suffered together? If the King of Wusun is willing to belong to Daxiang, then he can naturally enjoy this treatment."

King Wusun was a little angry when he heard the words.

"Since the founding of Daxiang, I, Wusun, have established diplomatic relations with Daxiang, exchanging needs. Back then, His Majesty Qidi used the Western Regions to destroy the Xiongnu and punish the sins of the Southwest. Among them, my Wusun country was a part of it. His Highness’s words are like crossing rivers and tearing down bridges.”

Yao Lingyun said: "Regardless of the inexplicable invasion of our northwest border by the countries of the Western Regions two years ago, Wusun and His Majesty Emperor Qi fought against the Xiongnu at that time. After all, the Xiongnu colluded with Southwest Yuxie, and Wusun State was the first to be among them, so how can you stay out of it?"

The displeasure on King Wusun's face became heavier, he frowned and said: "My lord's words are too blunt, what you said is all plots of power, but the calculations of power can be removed, and there is also the relationship between you and me. .”

"The diplomatic relationship between the two countries requires the sincerity of both parties, not the compromise of one of them." Yan Xu did not come out, he lightly snorted, and said casually: "Friendship is not enough to maintain diplomatic relations, what can maintain diplomatic relations is Strength, the Southwest was powerful back then, and all the countries in the Western Regions took refuge one after another, and even helped them invade our border defense several times. Although the prince was not born at that time, but King Wusun gave the help to the southwest, the prince still remembers it, never Forget it, I believe that if Daxiang is in decline at that time, you will not help us, the father is kind, he can't bear to see the dawn and suffer from the war again, so let the past go, and accept your worship, but this does not mean that I will be a Daxiang So let us take what you want."

King Wusun's face was gloomy when he heard the words, Yan Xu's words seemed to be reasonable, but in fact they were intimidating, and the aggressiveness was evident in it.

King Loulan had nothing to do with him, he was not on the same side as them.

"It's not because of affection that you surrender to us. The real key is that we have won." Yan Chen glanced over the kings of the Western Regions one by one, and said coldly, "Although King Ning and Xiang Yao have already No, but our country will not stop there, China is great and full of talents, why is it not prosperous?"

If it was said that Yan Xu's just words were just knocking mountains and shaking tigers, then Yan Chen's attitude was quite clear when he said these words.

The officials present felt full of ambition because of Yan Chen's words, their hearts were open-minded, and their ambition to rule the world spontaneously arose.

King Wusun looked defeated, and he is indeed not qualified to yell at Daxiang now. This time, he wanted to take advantage of Daxiang Qidi's serious illness, the collapse of his humerus, and the new generation's immaturity, so as to get some benefits , take the opportunity to gain strength, so as to maintain Wusun Kingdom's dominance among the Western Regions.

But who would have expected that the Daxiang imperial court would be as Yao Lingyun had said, and there would be a newcomer to take over.Younger generations are formidable, and the son of Emperor Qi should not be underestimated.

Yan Chen sat in a high position, overlooking the crowd, his eyes stayed on Yan Xu for a moment longer.

In his initial impression, this youngest brother has always been capricious, straightforward and lovable.

But in recent years, as the opponent's forces continue to take root in the court, his changes are getting bigger, more and more, and faster.

After several years of training, his youngest brother has lost all his childish and high-spirited aura, and his gestures and gestures are full of the special demeanor of the royal family looking down on the world.

Respectful and observant, there is a limit to advancing and retreating, and now he is standing there, with a tall body and solemn eyes, he is growing at a speed that he did not expect.

Regarding Yan Xu's changes, Yan Chen couldn't tell whether he was mostly pleased or disappointed.

Perhaps in the heavenly family, this life is doomed and cannot have pure brotherhood.

Yan Chen sighed in his heart, but his eyes were deep and dark, and his expression did not change. After a long time, he stood up straight, flicked his sleeves, and said with a final word: "I can hardly accept this issue of King Wusun. The next time I came from a long distance, I have worked hard, so I can go to the apse to rest first, I have already prepared a dinner, and then I will have a good time and share a good meal."

"Thank you, Your Highness." King Loulan took the lead in saluting in agreement.

Other kings also expressed.

Although King Wusun felt dissatisfied, he was not easy to refute, so he had to follow suit.

☆、Old games fall, new games start

"That's it." Yan Xu looked at Yan Chen with a smile, and narrated King Loulan's wishes. His voice was gentle and polite, which easily made people feel good. "Princess Loulan has been in love with Mr. Xun for a long time. , King Loulan learned that Mr. Xun is not yet married, and intends to make it a good thing, so I hope that you can decide to marry them both."

It is night, the moon and stars are sparse, the birds are leaning on the southern branches, the fire trees and silver flowers reflect the lake and water in the imperial garden, accompanied by melodious music, ethereal and ethereal, like dreams and illusions, people are among them, just like being in a fairyland on earth.

Suddenly, when a thin wind blows, the fragrance of flowers and wine in the garden meet and blend, which is very pleasant to hear.

After speaking, the smile on Yan Xu's face remained undiminished, he looked away, and looked at King Loulan with a smile.

Yan Chen was very surprised when he heard the words, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Yao Lingyun.

When he was speaking just now, the corner of Yan Xu's eyes had been observing Yao Lingyun's face seemingly unintentionally and very carefully. When the words fell, he no longer dodged, and tilted his head slightly, gentle, gentle, but also frank. He stared openly at Yao Lingyun, his dark eyes were full of expectation, and they looked bright right now.

But Yao Lingyun saw it in his eyes, but felt that he had no good intentions no matter how he looked at it.

Just knew that he couldn't help himself.

Yao Lingyun sighed in his heart, leaned forward and stood up, bowed to King Loulan, and said, "You can't find the name of a talented man, but in fact, how can you be worthy of Princess Mingzhu with a low official position."

King Loulan had heard Yan Xu say good things about Yao Lingyun for the whole afternoon, and he knew that the other party was outstanding and meticulous, so he was a rare match, but he wanted to be comprehensive in everything, so he was hesitant.Coupled with his own senses in the past day, he did not take Yao Lingyun's refusal to heart, but comforted him with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Xun, my sister has always admired you, so these are not problems. "

It was completely opposite to the attitude when I was rejected in the morning.

Yao Lingyun pondered for a moment, moved his eyes slightly, and glanced at Yan Xu, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes, but he quickly returned to Ning Ding. He shook his head in disapproval, stared at King Loulan with sincere eyes, Words are more real.

"Isn't this not a problem? Xun and the princess don't know each other very well. Let's not mention whether there is any relationship basis. Yao Xun is an official in the Central Plains. If the princess really marries me, he will have to travel thousands of miles from Loulan to the Central Plains. Habits are turned upside down, if the princess is not used to it, who should she talk to?" After a pause, the indifference in Yao Lingyun's eyes slowly turned to appreciation, and with a little regret, he continued, "Princess Mingzhu is one of the three treasures of Loulan. , is the most beautiful in the world, and her fame is resounding all over the world. Yao Xun has heard of it even in the eastern capital of the Central Plains, so he really doesn't want to wrong the princess, and it is true even if it is only a one-ten-thousandth possibility. It's a pity, but please King Loulan think twice."

Yao Lingyun smiled faintly. This kind of sincere smile made King Loulan think seriously about the meaning of his words.

The Central Plains area is no different than their Loulan, and the status of women is not high. If Mingzhu really marries in the Central Plains, she will have to restrain herself. This is not what he likes to see.

Princess Mingzhu is the only younger sister of King Loulan, who has always been deeply loved by him. Thinking of this, King Loulan hesitated.

Seeing this, Yan Xu blinked his eyes, and the complex emotions in his eyes suddenly dissipated because of Yao Lingyun's words, he looked sideways at Yao Lingyun, and said with a smile: "Mr. Princess?"

King Loulan's expression couldn't help changing when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, what Xun said comes from the heart." Yao Lingyun immediately shook his head and denied it. His words and smiles remained the same, and when he spoke, the situation that seemed to be stalemate instantly turned into a spring breeze. "Your Highness and Xun meet each other It’s been a long time, how can I not know what I’m looking for?”

Based on Yan Xu's strong praise to Yao Lingyun in front of King Loulan earlier, there really shouldn't be such an argument.

Sure enough, he knew.

Yan Xu looked at Yao Lingyun, narrowed his eyes slightly, no, if he wanted to refuse, with Yao Xun's eloquence, he should have a better way, Yao Mengxuan's death was the best excuse, but he chose this An unpleasant excuse, why?

Yan Xu never expected that Yao Lingyun would really marry Princess Loulan because of this, he just wanted to disgust him, but the current situation seems to be beyond his expectation...

Yan Xu is still thinking in this room, but the Lou Wang in that room is already unhappy.

Although what the other party said was reasonable, in front of the other seven kings of the Western Regions, King Loulan was a little unhappy when he was pushed away, and he couldn't help but lower his face and said: "My sister, Princess Mingzhu, is my treasure in Loulan. Could it be that you can't see that Mr. Xun is pushing you away like this?" Go to my Loulan?"

"Of course not. I am extremely grateful for the love of King Loulan." While speaking, Yao Lingyun saluted again in the direction of King Loulan. Bo, however, felt a sense of loneliness all over his body, "Actually, besides what Xun just said, there is another reason. My father passed away not long ago, and Xun lost my mother when I was young. It was my father who brought me up and taught me Because of my knowledge and ability, I am looking for the intention to keep my father's filial piety for ten years."

As soon as the words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Ten years of filial piety?

This is too long!

But at such a banquet, naturally no one would raise an objection.

Yao Lingyun also ignored the gazes around him, he still looked at King Loulan, and continued, "Xun really couldn't bear to delay the princess, that's why he kept pushing back."

King Loulan didn't know the etiquette of the Central Plains very well, so he didn't notice what was wrong with the time the other party said. He just suddenly remembered the biggest difference between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and it was also the place he couldn't understand the most.

People in the Central Plains attach great importance to filial piety, especially those in the officialdom. When a relative dies, filial piety is an indispensable round, but I have forgotten this.

They entered Beijing this time because of the death of King Ning, and Yao Mengxuan was bombed to death together with King Ning when they were dealing with the rebel party.

At this moment, he actually still wanted to marry his younger sister to him.

King Loulan raised his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the young man who was finally unable to suppress his sadness, his eyes filled with lingering love.

Apologizing, it appeared in King Loulan's eyes, he stood up and said, "This king was negligent, it's embarrassing for my son, I punished myself with three cups, we will expose this matter."

After speaking, King Loulan immediately drank three cups.

Yao Lingyun smiled: "King Loulan has good intentions, and it's too late to be grateful, so how could he blame him?"

Yan Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Since the two of you have reached a consensus, it's great."

Under Yan Chen's signal, the two returned to their seats, an episode was over, and the banquet continued.

Yan Xu stared at Yao Lingyun, resentment and anger burned all over his body.

He is using me!

Keep filial piety for ten years.

In front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the kings of the Western Regions, he threatened to observe filial piety for ten years, huh.

Even if someone thinks it is inappropriate, it is not good to raise it in front of the leaders of other countries, and it is even more difficult to bring it up afterward, otherwise it will only end up with the most important ministers and back-to-back pretexts.

He completely rejected any possibility of marrying with other forces. He tied his wealth and life together and handed them over to his eldest brother.

But why should he?

Yan Xu's eyes reflected a look of hostility, and his heart became even more sullen.

What did he rely on for Yao Xun?

Yan Xu turned his head, but saw Yan Chen on the main seat staring at Yao Lingyun, his eyes flickered, and his smile turned into a smile. This expression from the heart, ordinary and real, completely hurt Yan Xu's heart heart.

In just a short moment, Yan Xu's heart was turned upside down, and disaster clouds enveloped him.

The lowered head covered the almost distorted expression on his face. After a long time, he raised his head, and then, the corners of his lips lifted, and he smiled.

Since you don't keep your duty and insist on deviating from your own path, stopping where you shouldn't stop, and messing up the life trajectory of others, then...don't blame me for being ruthless.

Yan Yu on the other side didn't say a word at all, watching the farce quietly, at this moment he suddenly said: "Young Master Xun is pure and filial, he is a role model for my generation, this prince admires me very much, Daxiang has ministers like this, elder brother has companions …It is really lucky to read like this, this cup is toast to you.”

There is a big gasp with a slightly longer pause between the two words that accompany the reading.

Yan Yu's words are an indirect endorsement of Yao Lingyun's ten-year filial piety.

With a cup in his throat, Yan Yu put the cup down and chuckled, his every move revealing an indescribable elegance.

When watching the fire from the other side, it is natural that the bigger the fire is, the more interesting it is, and at critical moments, adding fuel to the fire is also a good choice.

The autumn wind is bleak, rolling up the last few leaves on the dead branches.

It was the end of autumn, and now it was dusk.

The setting sun in the west coats the twilight sky with a layer of boundless orange red.

At this time, Yan Chen was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the scenery, a pot of tea and a few plates of pleasingly shaped pastries were placed in front of him.

In sight, two people, one big and one small, were playing on the swing.

Yes, swings, not swings.

Because the small one was really too small, he was not able to move smoothly, and his height was barely above the knees of the big one.

The two of them pulled the empty swing in the middle from left to right and swayed gently back and forth.

Boring and repetitive action, but they still had a lot of fun.

The crisp laughter of the young child, accompanied by the silent smile of the elder, Yan Chen saw it in his eyes and heard it in his ears, and a warm current rose in his heart.

The dead are gone, and those who come can be chased.

Yan Chen quietly watched the two of them play around.

After a while, Yao Lingyun stopped the swing in his hand, stepped up to squat down in front of the child, and asked softly, "Are you tired, Aqin?"

Yan Ziqin shook his head to express that he was not tired and could play again.

Yao Lingyun blinked his eyes when he saw it, and asked after discussing the situation: "But I'm tired from looking for uncle, let's take a rest first, and play again later, okay?"

The fine evening sun passed through the tall walls, and cast mottled circles of light from the gaps in the branches and leaves, but this almost warm tone was not as soft and gorgeous as the soft light in Yao Lingyun's eyes at this time.

"Okay then, let's have a rest first, and play again later." Hearing Yao Lingyun say that he was tired, Yan Ziqin nodded, agreeing in a childlike voice, and when it was over, he ran to Yan Chen on short legs, Pointing to Yao Lingyun, he said to Yan Chen, "I want to hug Uncle Xun."

"Huh?" Yao Lingyun didn't understand for a while, what is this all about?When is he going to hug?He himself doesn't know that.

Yan Chen was also puzzled.

Seeing that Yan Chen didn't move, Yan Ziqin raised his round face, and said again seriously: "Ah Qin is tired, and Uncle Xun will carry Aqin in his arms. When Uncle Xun is tired, of course he should hug him, but Ah Qin Qin is too young to hug Uncle Xun, so the uncle hugged him first."

……

For a moment, Yan Chen didn't know how to respond.

Yao Lingyun was still squatting on the spot, half-supporting his face, holding back his smile, looking at Yan Chen leisurely, his brows raised slightly, his black eyes full of cunning, as if he was really waiting for Yan Chen to go over and hug him.

Yan Chen looked down at Yan Ziqin who was blinking in front of him, then turned his eyes to Yao Lingyun, signaling him to stop making trouble.

The two only exchanged glances, but they also had a tacit understanding, so there was no need to say much.

Yao Lingyun stood up, patted the non-existing dust on the hem of the clothes, walked over leisurely, hugged Yan Ziqin into his arms, sat on the side, and gently tapped the person's nose with his outstretched hand Pointed it out: "You are still young, so you want to hug. Uncle Xun is already an adult, and adults don't need hugs from adults."

Hearing this, Yan Chen couldn't help but think of the scene where the other party was carried onto the bed by him last night, and laughed.

Yan Ziqin seemed to understand, but it didn't matter, he was struggling to get off the ground.

"Aqin is not tired, don't hug Aqin."

"Okay, okay." Yao Lingyun carefully put him down on the ground, fed him a cup of warm water, ate a few pieces of pastries, and then let him play by himself. There were still many palace people standing not far away, It's always okay to see a child.

Seeing that he was done with his work, Yan Chen poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to him.

Yao Lingyun raised his hand to take it very naturally, took a sip, and was taken back by Yan Chen and placed on the table.

"tired?"

Yao Lingyun nodded, looking at Yan Ziqin's bouncing back, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

After a long time, he turned his gaze back, looked at Yan Chen with half-supported face, and asked, "Are you done?"

Yan Chen nodded: "Shu is surrounded by mountains on many sides. It is prone to drought in winter and spring, and waterlogging in summer and autumn. The disaster this time is not serious, and the money for disaster relief has been allocated, but for so many years, the old disasters have been repeated in the middle of Sichuan. , the method proposed by the fourth brother to build weirs and embankments to intercept the river, change the water level, and store floods to fight drought is the best strategy."

Yao Lingyun thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly became deep and distant: "I remember you mentioned the idea of ​​building water conservancy before."

"Yeah." Yan Chen smiled, and the tone of the exit was still flat, "It's just that the project of building the weir is too cumbersome and complicated, requiring a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as more detailed design and measurement. It’s not the right time yet, but now that all foreign troubles are over, it’s time.”

Yao Lingyun quietly listened to Yan Chen's narration, there was no displeasure in his voice.

He was such an open-minded and generous person.

The autumn wind was blowing, and there was a faint fragrance coming from the tip of the nose. Yao Lingyun was a little surprised. Looking at the fragrance, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard had not yet withered. Brush, the dark fragrance fills the sleeves, refreshing.

Yao Lingyun was surprised: "There are still osmanthus flowers at this time."

Yan Chen followed his line of sight, also felt surprised, said: "This is a good sign, I hope there will be less natural disasters in the coming year, God bless me Daxiang, Heqing Haiyan, the people are safe and peaceful."

Yao Lingyun: "It will definitely."

The warm light of the setting sun sprinkled the earth, and Yan Ziqin's immature children's language sounded in the courtyard from time to time, and the air was filled with a touch of warmth, safe and leisurely.

"When I entered the palace today, I heard that Prime Minister Zuo handed an invitation to His Majesty again yesterday." After a long time, it was Yao Lingyun who broke the silence, "And this time, His Majesty saw him."

Yan Chen nodded.

"The Prime Minister Zuo has always disliked His Highness the Fourth Highness getting in touch with the court too much, but His Highness's recent actions have become more and more frequent." After a slight pause, Yao Lingyun looked at Yan Chen, and said again Yan Chen suppressed the question, "I remember that when His Highness entered the court, it was the Zuo Xiang and the noble concubine who you came forward to persuade."

How could Yan Chen not know that what the other party said meant to ask, but for some things, the fewer people who know, the better.

Yan Chen avoided the topic, and only said: "They hope that the fourth brother can be an idle prince and spend his life peacefully."

Yao Lingyun blinked when he heard the words, looked at Yan Chen like this for a while, and said, "You still can't tell me?"

Although Yao Lingyun's words were to ask, but Yan Chen felt the other party's pressing every step of the way, and sighed helplessly: "A Xun, don't ask about this matter."

Since the other party stated that he didn't want to continue the topic, Yao Lingyun didn't say much, but he was still dissatisfied after thinking about it. He clearly had the enemy's weakness in his hands but didn't use it. What a fool!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, Yao Lingyun couldn't help complaining: "You can take it easy, anyway, you have to think about yourself."

"Didn't you already think about me?" Yan Chen smiled, and said lightly, the corners of his lips raised with a touch of determination.

His voice was always calm and unhurried, making those who heard it feel at ease.

Losing one's temper is also a matter of trying to get angry, and then fading and exhausting. Yao Lingyun looked at him, his anger was blocked in his heart, he couldn't spit it out, he couldn't swallow it, he felt so uncomfortable, in the end, he could only hum for a few minutes. Voice: "No time."

After finishing speaking, he ignored him, got up and walked towards Yan Ziqin.

Yan Chen laughed and shook his head.

But Yao Xun who lost his temper like this is rare. Thinking of this, Yan Chen couldn't help walking towards the two of them.

☆, dark arrow

In spring, beyond the cage of cold winter, although weeds can be seen, it does not prevent the recovery of all things.

However, in early spring, it was still cold.

At dusk in early spring, at the moment when light and dark alternate, the clouds everywhere are coated with a layer of desolation, and as far as the eye can see, there is a vastness.

In the Wanghua Building, the fourth prince Yan Xu was holding his hand by the window, his eyes lingering back and forth across the sky, he was reminiscing about the past, for a while, he turned his head slightly to look into the room, and asked, "Are you sure it's true?"

A sentence without a beginning or an end, others would be confused when they heard it, but the person in the room seemed to be able to sense what he was thinking, tilted his head slightly, glanced at Yan Xu lightly, and nodded: " It's sure." After a pause, Murong Huai was a little curious, and then asked with a bit of exploration, "Are you sad?"

Yan Xu turned around leisurely, smiled, the flow of air at the nose slowed down, and the elegant tea scent mixed with a little wine lingered in his nose, Yan Xu walked in noncommittal, and said: "If mother knows, she will definitely Very sad."

Murong Huai seriously looked at Yan Xu who walked in and sat down. His eyes were shaped like peach blossoms, with narrow corners and long tails, romantic and affectionate. When he looked at a person intently, his gaze was hard to make people Regardless, very few people can remain calm and at ease under Murong Huai's gaze.

But Yan Xu did it, he raised his hand to pick up a cup of tea, and took a sip, elegant and leisurely, not in a hurry.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yan Xu squeezed the teacup in his hands, looked up at Murong Huai, his gaze was focused and quiet, like a naive young man who doesn't know love yet knows what it means to be single-minded.

In the end, it was Murong Huai who was defeated first, he slightly lowered his eyes, looked away, lifted up his sleeves indiscriminately, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Then how does His Highness plan to resolve this matter for Lingtang?"

Yan Xu sighed for a long time, and said: "Believe in feelings, it is one of the behaviors that can hurt you the most in this world. Showing your weaknesses to others without reservation is equivalent to entrusting your life to others. Giving the other party the right to hurt me, my mother is the mother of the Daxiang Kingdom, she has a noble status, and she absolutely cannot bear this kind of danger." After a slight pause, Yan Xu smiled gently, with a sincere look, and asked sincerely, "Draw the bottom of the pot, what do you think?"

Murong Huai likes Yan Xu's obedient and clever appearance very much, even though he knows that the other party is faking, he still finds it very pleasing to the eye when he looks at it, every pore on his body reveals an indescribable ironing and stretching.

Murong Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "I would like to hear the details."

The fine celadon cup is still pinched between Yan Xu's fingers, the hand is like a white jade hand, and the world-famous Yue Kiln celadon is held in his hand, and it is also somewhat eclipsed by the foil, which makes people suspect How the shabby thing was dubbed the mother of china.

Yan Xu was playing with the teacup, his demeanor was graceful and leisurely, his smiling eyes showed indifference, as if everything in the world was just a passing cloud in his eyes, he said leisurely: "Since her second brother is her reliance, then Pull the second brother off the horse."

Murong Huai was startled when he heard this.

After getting along for this period of time, he knew Yan Xu well enough, so he knew that although the other party said it casually at this time, but he really thought about it in his heart, Murong Huai closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then shook his head, no He very much agreed: "What Your Highness said is indeed a good idea to draw the bottom line, but there is no opportunity to take advantage of it right now. Your Highness might as well restrain your edge and wait for the opportunity."

Yan Xu didn't think so, he put down his teacup slowly, and said calmly: "Wait, it's a very negative attitude. Before this, I have been lying in bed for too long, and I have exhausted all the patience in my life. From now on Finally, wait, it is no longer the prince's style of doing things."

In the middle of speaking, Yan Xu suddenly looked straight at Murong Huai, the corners of his eyes raised, his eyes suddenly stained with a bit of sternness, and his voice seemed to be wrapped in a piece of ice.

Seeing his expression, Murong Huai's body trembled undetectably, but he concealed it so well that no one could see the clue.

"Forcing tigers to hurt talents is our goal. If we act rashly at the current time, we may not succeed in forcing tigers, but will be addicted to them." Murong Huai lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then shook his head, insisting on his own opinion, "The mountain is about to come and the wind is blowing over the building." , but Your Highness, the wind has been blowing for too long, and the best opportunity for rain has long been missed.

Yan Xu smiled lightly, and said casually: "The opportunity that has already passed is over, can't we just recreate it?"

Murong Huai was shocked again when he heard this.

However, without waiting for him to express anything, Yan Xu said again: "The so-called best time not only needs to pay attention to the right time, place and people, but also depends on the enemy's preparations. Right now, the opponent is completely unprepared. How could it not be the right time?" While speaking, Yan Xu's casual eyes flashed a cruel murderous intent, and his voice also lowered a little, "The land of the capital, the tiger's lair and the dragon's pan, the thunder has appeared, then Storms are bound to fall, and the best way to fish in troubled waters is to disturb this pool of spring water."

"Since the water in the pool is messy, naturally you can't see what's going on inside. It doesn't matter if it's a small fish. If the fish are sharp enough, the fisherman may be hurt." Admonishment, although there should be some points, I still have to say, "It is not easy to deal with the second prince."

Yan Xu agreed with this point, nodded, and said: "Although it is not easy, it is not impossible."

Murong Huai was very interested: "Oh?"

Yan Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "When a person's obsession has been deeply rooted in his heart, as long as he starts to deal with it, he won't have too much difficulty in dealing with it. Even a little teasing can make a prairie fire happen. .”

Yan Yu's obsession.

Murong Huai thought for a moment, then asked: "What does Your Highness plan to do?"

Yan Xu suddenly smiled humbly, gentle, gentle, and a little immature, and said, "I'll ask Mr. Murong about it."

Murong Huai was puzzled: "Huh?"

"Aren't you my counselor?" Yan Xu blinked and smiled slightly, "Now is the time for you to stand up and give advice to my prince."

Compared with when the two first met, Yan Xu was much thinner, and even the outline of his face had changed a little. Although his expression was the same as before, his whole temperament was completely different, not immature, but calm. And quiet.

But this kind of Yan Xu made Murong Huai pay more attention, he admired him, and he did not hide his appreciation.

Murong Huai stared at Yan Xu, his smiling eyes took on a hint of pampering that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

But this was not the expression Yan Xu wanted to see on his face, he was taken aback and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Murong Huai was still smiling, with deep eyes, and said, "People, most of the time, only you know what you're laughing at. If you tell it, it's not so funny."

Yan Xu nodded: "I'll just ask casually, it's okay if you don't say anything." Shrugged slightly, and then, Yan Xu's lips and eyebrows came into a familiar smile again, casual and stretched, but revealing a trace of the past. Different seriousness and earnestness, "but the previous question, I am very concerned."

Hearing this, Murong Huai was inevitably a little disappointed. He raised his hand and brought the wine glass to his lips, so as to hide the gloom on the corners of his lips, and asked, "Your Highness, do you know the allusion of breaking the prison?"

Yan Xu raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to continue.

"If you want to stir up trouble, you don't have to personally intervene. Sometimes it only takes a few words, or even a few trips." Murong Huai put down his wine glass and talked, "As Your Highness said just now, with the other party use his weakness as bait to force him to act and lure the enemy out of the hole."

Yan Xu tilted his head and thought for a while, rolled his eyes, and asked, "But if it fails to lure the enemy, so what if it turns into a loophole?"

Murong Huai pondered for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "I don't think so."

Yan Xu was curious: "Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Murong Huai: "This is just Huai's guess."

"Don't you need proofs for guessing?" Yan Xu disagreed, "Young Master Murong doesn't look like someone who makes false statements."

"Evidence is called inference, not guesswork."

"What's the clue?"

Murong Huai smiled and said a name: "Ye Xingfeng."

The question between Yan Xu's brows became even worse: "Huh?"

Murong Huai explained: "The person Huai met in the south of the Yangtze River is a counselor under the second prince's account. He is a person who takes a slanted sword and loves challenges."

Yan Xu heard the words, thought for a moment, and then understood what Murong Huai wanted to express.He raised his eyes and smiled at Murong Huai, feeling very helpless, sighed: "So I still have to do this."

"The protagonists are all in place. Since His Highness wants to watch a play and set up a stage, it's not a disadvantage. You have to contribute a little bit, don't you?"

The sky gradually darkened, the twilight gradually sank, and the pavilions and pavilions slowly fell into a misty night. Outside the Wanghualou, lights lit up one after another, like the Milky Way winding, illuminating the entire Eastern Capital.

Yan Xu sighed again, and said: "Forget it, then I will go to Yi'an Hall tomorrow first.
