Chapter 8: Surprise


There were dark clouds outside, thunder roaring, and rain falling.

Inside the house, huge candles were shining brightly, and three people were sitting around the table.

I looked at Li Yan solemnly, "I have gone to see the princess a few days ago.

From today on, you must complete what I asked for in the shortest possible time."

Li Yan nodded slightly: "I would like to hear the details."

I pointed to the bookshelf on the left: "Here is Sun Tzu's Art of War.

The full text has a total of 7,476 words.

It is divided into initial planning, combat, attack planning, military shape, military strength, virtual reality, military struggle, nine changes, and marching." , terrain, nine places, fire attack, space , a total of thirteen chapters, I want you to keep it in mind.

What we do today is the original plan.

Your battlefield is in the palace with many courtyards.

You have to fight with the emperor and other beauties.

This is a fight without smoke. war, but bloody The emperor ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, and is now thirty-six years old, which is the age when a man reaches his peak.

He is not weak in literary and martial arts, and his actions are unexpected.

Sometimes he is ruthless, sometimes he is delicate and sentimental.

His mother, the Queen Mother, had already had a daughter with the Jin family before marrying the late emperor.

Even the Queen Mother herself did not want to mention it.

After the emperor heard about it, he personally looked for his half-sister, ignoring the ministers' criticism and rewards. title."

Li Yan steadily looked at the volumes of bamboo slips on the bookshelf.

After a while, she nodded slowly and firmly: "The emperor is both the enemy I want to conquer and the only ally I can rely on.

We are a battle of hearts between men and women.

I never I have no experience of being intimate with a man, and he has already read thousands of sails.

In this heart battle, if I lose my heart, I have already lost, right?"

I sighed softly and pointed to the bookshelf on the right: "This is the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, Su Nu Zhen Jing, Ten Questions, Yin and Yang Fang, and The World's Great Tao Tan."

Li Yan was a little surprised: "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic seems to be a medical classic.

I have never heard of the others.

I still want to study medicine."

I said: "The aging of sex is when love goes away.

We have no way to resist aging, but we can try to delay its arrival.

The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic describes the physiology of women in detail, and you can follow it to take care of yourself.

But more importantly of "Yes."

I cleared my throat, stared at the cases and said, "More importantly, the other books are all about this."

Honggu, who had been sitting silently aside, smiled slightly and said for me Said: "It talks about the art of intercourse and the way of connecting the yin."

Li Yan and I both had red cheeks.

Li Yan stared at the table and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, have you seen it?"

I said, "No."

My heart started to beat again as I thought about it.

Books are rare items, and these books are nowhere to be purchased.

Although Honggu had heard about it and asked me to look for these books, she had never actually seen them.

She only told me that the families of princes and nobles in Chang'an City should collect them.

I thought that the most comprehensive collection of books was in the palace, so I had no choice but to go find Huo Qubing.

"Please help me find some books."

I lowered my head and stared at the mat under me.

Huo Qubing leaned on the soft cushion and asked casually: "What book is it?

Is it another book on the art of war?"

I buried my head deeper and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, "No."

Huo Qubing asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you today?

Is there anything you can't just talk about?"

I took a deep breath and said in a thin voice, "It has something to do with men and women."

"What?"

Huo Qubing suddenly sat up straight and looked at me blankly.

I buried my head deeply and stared at the table without saying a word.

I felt that even my neck was burning hot, and my face must have been covered with red clouds.

He suddenly turned his head and smiled, and said while smiling: "What is that?

I don't understand what you are saying.

You should explain it in more detail."

I immediately stood up and wanted to leave: "If you don't find me, I will pull you."

He grabbed my sleeve and asked with a smile: "Do you want to read it yourself or show it to others?"

I didn't dare to look back at him, so I turned my back and lowered my head: "Show others."

He smiled and said: "I'm afraid some of these things are unique in the palace.

You need to find someone to copy them first.

I will send them to you in a few days.

You can also take a look.

It will be of great benefit in the future.

If you don't understand, I can " Before he finished speaking, I heard that he had agreed.

I waved my hand and pulled out my sleeves, and left in a hurry.

Li Yan and I sat silently with our heads bowed.

Hong Gu laughed and said, "It's rare to see you two in such embarrassment.

You two are more shrewd and steady than the other in your daily behavior, but now you can't even speak a complete sentence.

Li Yan, This is just the beginning, and there is still a lot to do.”

Li Yan said softly: "I will take a look.

Thank you Hong Gu for taking the trouble."

Hong Gu smiled and nodded, "I also went to a prostitute house and paid a lot of money to invite some of the best women in Chang'an City to teach you.

During the class, I would order someone to use a screen to block it.

First, I didn't want them to know who was being taught.

In class, secondly, you don’t have to be so shy when listening alone, so you can think carefully."

Li Yan blushed until she bled, and nodded lightly.

Hong Gu looked at Li Yan and then at me, with a sly smile on her face, as if she was extremely satisfied to see our embarrassment, "Yu'er, why don't you and Li Yan learn together?

It will come in handy sooner or later."

I turned my head and glared at Hong.

Gu, Gu Hong said with a smile: "Am I wrong?

Do you think you will not have a man you like in your heart in the future?"

Hong Gu was teasing me sincerely today.

I didn’t dare to let her go on and interrupted her hastily, “Hong Gu, I still have something to say to Li Yan in private.”

Hong Gu hurriedly stopped laughing, got up and left.

I took out a bronze mirror and placed it in front of Li Yan, "Your mother taught you to sing and dance, and taught you how to behave beautifully and gracefully, but she missed teaching you something.

Your eyes can be charming, resentful, mournful, and sad. , but it can’t be cold, and it can’t be as cold as a blade.

If you can’t even touch me, I couldn't hide it, how could I hide it from the emperor?

I took it for a walk in the fields to see what the sixteen or seventeen-year-old women in the countryside looked like, and carefully observed their eyes, and then I also looked at my own eyes.

You are not a normal sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman.

None of this can help you.

You have to work on your own."

Li Yan thought for a while: "I will definitely do it."

I said: "Your mother doesn't allow you to cry, but from today on, I want you to cry, and I want you to shed tears at any time.

Not only do you have to cry, but you also have to cry delicately, cry beautifully, and cry like pear blossoms with rain and begonias."

Condensation.

It is said that when the emperor first brought Wei Zifu into the palace, the then Empress Chen refused to comply, and because of Gillian's mother, the palace was abandoned.

Due to the power of Princess Tao's family, the emperor did not summon Wei Zifu for more than a year.

Later, when he met Wei Zifu again, Wei Zifu cried and begged the emperor to let her out of the palace.

I believe you must have heard this story before.

What was the result?

, we all know now.

Tears and smiles are your weapons, and you should figure out how to use them."

Li Yan took a deep breath and nodded.

I thought silently for a while to see if I missed anything: "That's probably it.

The rest are relatively easy.

When we have free time every day, we will tell each other the rumored story of the emperor's childhood.

Although you are already familiar with it, you can use it to Go through it again in your mind, combine it with the art of war you are reading, and then carefully consider the emperor's temperament. " After listening to this, Li Yan stood up straight, carefully adjusted her clothes, and solemnly bowed down to me.

I wanted to help her, but she held my hand: "Please let me finish this salute, because in the future you will kneel down to me in a grand way.

Only in this way can I live up to your thoughts today."

I retracted my hand and accepted it calmly.

He bowed to her. ---------------- "The newly ripe honeysuckle fruits have been delivered.

According to the flower gardener's instructions, I planted the seeds in my newly opened small flower bed.

The seedlings will sprout next spring.

I want to wait until the flowers bloom to invite you to come and see the flowers together.

Will you Come on, should I plant some in Shifu?

You treat me very well, You will answer every question I ask carefully, and you will satisfy my requests as long as they have nothing to do with Shi Fang.

But where do you put me in your heart?

Sometimes I can feel you getting closer and closer to me.

Just as I was about to reach out, you suddenly turned around and walked away from me, why?”

I stopped writing and pondered, yes, why do I have to test and guess his thoughts forever?

I took out the bamboo box, carefully put away the silk handkerchief, then got up and left the bedroom.

In the study, Li Yan was reading under the lamp.

I stood at the door for a long time before she was startled and looked up at me: "Do you want me to endorse it?"

I shook my head and entered the room and sat across from her.

I said: "I want you to accompany me to ask Master Li something."

Li Yan said: "I see everything about my brother.

If you ask me the same question, it is more refreshing than my brother."

I played with myself in my hands.

"A man's thoughts must be answered by a man.

What a woman thinks may not suit a man's heart.

Besides, your brother is just right."

I stopped talking and looked at Li Yan, "Whether I want to accompany you or not."

Li Yan smiled and said, "You can be lazy, why don't you go."

After saying that, she threw away the book and stood up.

I locked the door and said, "After you leave, I will clean up those things, so there won't be such trouble."

Li Yan said with a smile.

Yan's face turned red again.

I suddenly became curious, and while walking, I held her hand and leaned into her ear and whispered in her ear: "How are you doing with your studies?"

Li Yan pushed me away and just walked away quickly.

I hurried a few steps and shook her. hand, "Let's talk about it" Li Yan whispered: "If you want to know so much, go to the class and you will know."

I laughed under my breath: "I don't need to put in the effort.

If I want to learn, I will just learn the most essential part.

Wait for you."

Tell me when you’ve learned it.”

Li Yan shook off my hand: "You are so shameless that you didn't even mention it to your in-laws, that's all you think about.

If someone finds out, you won't be able to get married."

I snorted and said nothing.

The two walked quietly for a while, and Li Yan held my hand: "Although you don't know your exact age, I guess you are about the same age as me.

You should stop thinking about business and plan your life carefully." , you don’t have parents to plan for you, and if you don’t worry about it yourself, why don’t you just wait for your years to grow old?

I have never met Lord Shi Fang Fang, but I see that you are very careful with him, and I think there must be something extraordinary about him.

If he is of the right age, he has not married Wife, you might as well” I stretched out my hand and pinched her cheek gently, "Good girl, I don't want her to be happy if I want to get married."

Li Yan snorted coldly: "Good intentions are not rewarded."

When we entered, Fang Ru happened to go out.

When she saw the two of us, she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm here to ask Master Li a piece of music."

I shook my head and smiled: "I didn't ask anything, why are you so busy explaining?"

Li Yan secretly twisted my arm.

After the other party Ru quietly saluted, she pulled me out of the way and stretched out her hand to say goodbye.

Fang Ru goes first.

Fang Ru bowed slightly to me and left in a hurry.

I wrinkled my nose at Li Yan: "I'm not your sister-in-law anymore.

With your support, I will have a Queen Mother in my garden from now on."

Li Yan glared at me: "My brother and Fang Ru are both gentle and elegant people, not scoundrels like you."

Li Yannian asked in the house: "Is my little sister back?"

Li Yan responded: "It's my eldest brother and Yu Niang."

After hearing this, Li Yannian immediately came out to welcome him.

Li Yannian poured me a glass of water and said humbly: "I don't drink tea, I only drink water, so I can only serve guests with water."

Li Yan chuckled and said, "Brother, she said she has something to ask you."

Li Yannian looked at me gently and waited quietly for me to speak.

I lowered my head and unconsciously traced circles on the table with my fingers: "The people in the palace are easy to deal with."

Li Yannian said: "Because I was recommended by Princess Pingyang, everyone is very polite to me."

I said: "I heard that the emperor greatly appreciated your piano music after hearing it."

Li Yannian smiled calmly: "I was given something as a reward, but I can't say that I was greatly appreciated."

I said: "Do you think it is convenient to live here and travel to and from the palace?"

Before Li Yannian could answer, Li Yan said impatiently, "Jinyu, what on earth do you want to ask?

Why do you want to ask my eldest brother what he eats every day?"

Li Yannian glanced at his sister and replied patiently: "There are carriages going back and forth, which is very convenient."

I picked up the water, took a few sips, put down the cup, and looked up at Li Yannian: "It's like this.

There is a man who is very reserved and also likes music.

There is a woman who wants to tell him what she is thinking, but I don't know what the man is thinking. , I dare not say directly, what method does Master Li think can express the woman's feelings and make it easier for the other party to accept it?"

Li Yannian's face was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and began to think.

Li Yan grabbed her brother's sleeve and laughed, rubbing her belly while laughing.

I ignored her and just looked at Li Yannian.

"Jin Yu, you are so funny.

What about your Sun Tzu's Art of War?

What about your eloquent theories?

Now you even have to ask people about this.

It turns out that you are just an armchair Zhao Kuo.

I want to think carefully about what you tell me.

Can those words be used?”

I looked at Li Yan and said calmly: "I didn't regard this as a war because I was open from the beginning.

I was not on guard.

I was not afraid of him coming in at all.

What I was afraid of was that he refused to come in.

No Be calm and rational, and have only one heart.”

Li Yan stopped laughing, sat up straight, looked at me for a while, and lowered her head.

Li Yannian turned his head and looked at his sister thoughtfully.

For a moment, there was only silence in the room.

Half a day later, Li Yannian woke up, looked at me with an apologetic smile and said, "I am a musician.

I can only express my feelings through music.

There is a very good piece of music from the pre-Qin Dynasty.

I just heard someone say that Yu Niang learned the flute."

As Li Yannian spoke, he took out his flute, sat quietly for a while, and then started playing.

I listened attentively.

After Li Yannian finished playing, he said: "My little sister can also play the flute.

Although she is not very good, she can barely teach others.

You two are often together, so you can let her teach you."

I smiled and nodded.

Li Yannian's "not very good" should be considered very good by most people.

Li Yan suddenly stood up and walked away without saying a word.

I waved my hand to Master Li, indicating that he did not need to follow me, and turned around to chase Li Yan.

There were no lights in the house, only the bright moonlight pouring in from the window.

Li Yan faced the window, standing in the moonlight, her back was like the lonely bright moon in the sky.

Although she had the appearance of the Jade God, she was a cold and lonely figure.

I stood at the door: "If you want to go back on your word, it's still too late.

The worst you can do is offend the princess, but I will try to resolve it."

She stood motionless and said softly: "I envy you very much.

You live so freely.

You can do what you want and pursue the happiness you want."

I replied: "What you are doing is what you want to do, no one is forcing you."

Li Yan said: "But I am forcing myself.

Jin Yu, you don't understand now, and I hope you never have to understand the feeling of someone forcing yourself."

I couldn't find anything to comfort her, so I stayed silent for a while and said, "You should rest early today and everything will continue tomorrow."

After saying that, I turned around and walked back slowly.

My mood was sinking when Xiao Tao, who was hovering in the air, rushed down and landed on her.

Over my shoulder, I saw the silk strips tied to its legs.

I suddenly became happy and ran towards the house in a hurry. ----------- The princess, supported by the maid, asked as she walked: "You asked the princess this morning if there was a bamboo forest in the mansion, and asked me to allow you to use the bamboo forest in the mansion.

Why are you here here?"

"Two reasons.

First, beauties are just like flowers.

They have different styles, such as peonies that are gorgeous and luxurious, autumn chrysanthemums that are elegant and charming, and begonias that are charming and charming.

Different flowers have different ways of appreciating them.

That's the only way to appreciate them.

Only in this way can the unique beauty of each flower be seen to its fullest.

Secondly, people in the world will have preconceived ideas and feel that they are delicate and pitiful.

In the future, they will inevitably feel pity for them.

The beauty of the fairy will also secretly inspire respect, so the first meeting is very important.

Since we have the right time and place to take advantage of, of course we should not waste it.

"When I first heard Hong Gu's words, Li Yan and I were both amazed, and we finally understood.

Why do those young masters ignore their beautiful wives and concubines at home, but linger in singing and dancing halls and prostitutes' houses every day?

These charming methods are indeed difficult for ordinary women to think of.

As I said that, I could already see the bamboo forest.

Just at sunset, there are layers of red clouds floating in the western sky, which is warm and warm.

The red becomes lighter and heavier as you go eastward.

Under the cool blue sky, the bamboo forest in the sunset is glowing with a little red, and the halo is still lush green.

Li Yan's back is to us, and she stands leaning on the bamboo.

After the princess stared at her back for a long time, Fang asked in a low voice: "You made her do this?"

"No, the girl just asked her to wait in the bamboo forest without giving any instructions.

She didn't even let her know that the princess wanted to see her here.

You must be prepared for everything, but being too deliberate will make you fall behind."

The princess sighed softly, "The back figure makes people think a lot.

They want to see her appearance, but they are afraid of being disappointed.

Her appearance must not live up to her figure.

This kind of uneasiness is indeed not something you can have when you are summoned in the house. " I smiled slightly and said nothing.

The princess looked at me for a while, waved her hand to signal the maids to stay where they were, and slowed down to walk towards the bamboo forest.

The sound of footsteps finally alerted Li Yan.

Li Yan suddenly turned her head, with a smile on her lips, and pointed at the sunset with one finger.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw who was coming.

After being startled, she immediately understood and knelt down to Princess Shanshan.

The princess immediately said: "Get up and speak."

Li Yan kowtowed and stood up.

Her body is like a slender bamboo, her green skirt is trailing to the floor, only a jade hairpin is used to cover her black hair, and there is no other jewelry.

The princess took another careful look at Li Yan, then looked sideways at me with a smile: "It's a beautiful jade, and it's a peerless jade and jade.

I was so frightened by her appearance just now that I really don't want her to kneel down."

I looked at Li Yan, everything I could do has been done, from now on everything will depend on you.

Li Yan's eyes met mine, and we both looked away without any change.

There were two people in the carriage when we left, but there was only one person left in the carriage when we returned.

As soon as we entered the garden, Li Guangli ran up to us, "Princess, I like my sister."

I nodded, and he immediately waved his fists happily and cheered. .

Li Yannian was still standing under the tree, as if he hadn't moved since he saw us off.

It was already dark, so I couldn’t see his expression clearly.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

I could only see him nodding when he saw me, turning around suddenly and punching the tree hard.

Li Guangli exclaimed: “Brother!”

Fang Ru appeared from nowhere.

He came out and wanted to get closer, but he hesitated and stood still.

The skin on Li Yannian's hand was punctured, and tiny drops of blood oozed out.

I waved to Fang Ru and told her to come over, and said to Li Guangli, "Go back first."

Li Guangli looked at his brother and tentatively called him again, but only Seeing that his brother was standing motionless, he had no choice but to turn around and leave slowly.

Fang Ru's face was flushed, and she used a handkerchief to suck up Li Yannian's blood, blowing bit by bit to blow off the wood chips attached to it.

Li Yannian looked at me and said, "Perhaps the thing I regret most in my life is coming to Luoyufang."

I looked at Fang Ru and said, "It's not all bad."

Li Yannian's eyes turned softly to Fang Ru's face, then turned cold when they fell on my face, "Although the little sister said that this is what she wants and it is her own idea, I still can't help but hate you, you It really disappoints me that you are so greedy for glory and wealth that you would sacrifice another woman’s life for it.”

I smiled calmly: "Feel free to hate or hate her, but Li Yan has embarked on a road with no possibility of turning back.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree, you must help her and use all your talents to help her."

Li Yannian stood dumbly, I turned around and left gracefully.

I suddenly understood the tears shed by Li Yannian when she held my hand.

There were many things that could not be explained or explained.

Back in the house, Aunt Hong was sitting on the couch waiting for me.

I sat across from her and she asked, "Is everything going well?"

I nodded, "Li Yan should really thank you this time.

The way you planned the meeting really shocked the princess, who had already seen so many beauties.

She lost her composure.

Your words of appreciating people like flowers should have moved her."

The princess will definitely try her best to let Li Yan give the emperor an absolutely extraordinary first meeting."

Honggu covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "I have been in the world for half my life, and I have heard and seen all about fighting and sex.

If we only talk about these, how can a good girl fight?

Now we have to look at Li Yan.

I don't know how she plans to meet the emperor."

I sat quietly for a while, then suddenly stood up and took out the green handkerchief that Aunt Hong gave me from the box.

I looked at the word "李" wrapped in vines, sighed softly in my heart, raised my hand and put it on the anointed candle to light it, and looked at It turned red little by little in my hand, then black, and then turned into ashes.

When the fire light touched my hand, I loosened my fingers, and the last corner fell to the ground with bright red flames.

Soon there was only a puddle of ashes.

There had been something or Nothing can be distinguished anymore. dddddddddddddd I played with the invitation in my hand and asked doubtfully: "Hong Gu, why did you ask the princess to specially invite us to sit in the house during her birthday?"

Honggu dressed up in front of the mirror and said, "It must be for Li Yan's sake.

It seems that Li Yan has not yet entered the palace, but she is already very popular with the princess.

Going in and out of the prince's palace was a common thing when she was young.

I didn't expect it."

Now I actually have the opportunity to be a guest of the princess, I really want to thank Li Yan.”

I sat quietly, meditating silently, and Hong Gu smiled and said, "Don't think about it.

You will know it when you go to the princess's house.

Hurry up and dress up first."

I smiled and shook my head: "Just dress yourself well.

I'll just pick out a decent set of clothes and wear two pieces of jewelry.

It's not rude."

Hong Gu frowned and was about to speak, but I interrupted her and said, "Listen to me this time."

Hong Gu looked at my determined expression and nodded helplessly.

The banquet was held along the lake, and tables were set up along the shore.

The place decorated with flowers and bright lights should be the chairman, but it is still empty at this time, and our position is at the end of the last seat, half hidden in the darkness.

There were already people sitting around, talking and laughing with each other, but no one paid any attention to us in the bustling crowd.

After Honggu looked around, although she still had a smile on her face, her eyes were slightly disappointed.

I smiled happily and drank the tea.

After waiting and waiting, after drinking a whole cup of tea, there was suddenly silence among the noise in the whole place.

Before we could understand what was going on, we saw people kneeling on the ground in waves.

Hong Gu and I looked at each other. , also knelt down with the crowd.

The two of them were walking side by side.

Before I could see clearly, the crowd was already shouting: "Long live the Emperor, thousands live the Queen, thousands live the Queen."

I was busy kowtowing along with the crowd.

After all the fuss, we all sat down.

Hong Gu had already tasted the food and looked at me nervously.

I smiled and said, "Just wait and see."

Since we were in the dark, we could safely and boldly look at everyone in the bright place.

The Emperor of Han, whom Dad and Yi Zhi had mentioned countless times, was sitting in the banquet.

I still remember asking Yi Zhixie, "Is he better-looking than you?"

Yi Zhixie didn't answer me at that time.

It was only after so many years that I gave myself the answer.

Although he is already outstanding in appearance among men, Still not as good-looking as Yi Zhixie, but his aura is more outgoing and flamboyant than Yi Zhixie.

However, the Yi Zhixie I knew was before he became a Shanyu.

What is he like now?

Hong Gu gave me a gentle push, leaned down and whispered in my ear: "Why are you staring at the Emperor with a gloomy face?

You are indeed an extraordinary person.

You are not regretting that you don't have one."

I glared at her and turned to look at him.

Queen Wei was shocked.

She was as beautiful as water.

From her eyebrows to her body, she looked like she was made of water.

The softness, clarity and beauty of water were all concentrated on her body.

Under the halo of lights, she is like the water of Tianchi under the bright moon, astonishingly beautiful.

There is a kind of beauty in the flowers that bloom and fail that will not fade with the passage of time.

Honggu sighed softly: "This is a woman among women.

No wonder when the Empress Dowager Dou controlled the government, the emperor would be obsessed with her when he was depressed and frustrated, and even did not hesitate to offend Empress Chen and the eldest princess for her."

I nodded, feeling a little sour in my heart inexplicably.

I didn't dare to look at Queen Wei any more and quickly turned my eyes away.

Princess Pingyang and a man with a tall figure and a gentle face were sitting at the head of the emperor.

It should be General Wei Qing.

People often say that "meeting is not as good as being famous", but General Wei Qing is just as I thought, with a powerful and masculine figure.

Yes, his temperament is gentle and restrained.

Princess Pingyang was laughing and chatting with the emperor.

General Wei and Queen Wei both smiled and listened quietly.

They didn't say a word for most of the time.

The temperaments of the two siblings were somewhat similar.

The emperor's relatives and dignitaries in the chair were mingling with each other and laughing constantly.

It seemed to be a lively place, but they all kept their eyes on the emperor, secretly paying attention to the emperor's every move, following the emperor's words, laughing or responding to each other, and at the same time flattering the emperor. , while also fighting each other openly and covertly, suppressing each other with words or deliberately showing favor. , only Huo Qubing buried his head and concentrated on drinking and eating.

When he looked up occasionally, his eyes were cold and he didn't pay attention to the people around him.

He didn't socialize with others.

Probably no one dared to socialize with him.

From the beginning of the banquet until now, there was only one person in his twenties and thirties.

The man once toasted Huo Qubing with a glass of wine, and Huo Qubing returned the toast with a smile.

I looked at the man and asked, "Who is he?"

Honggu said softly with regret, "This is the third son of the Li family, Li Gan."

My expression moved slightly.

Sure enough, as Aunt Hong said, he was a good secular man with both civil and military skills.

Because he was born in a noble family, his manners were noble and decent, and he had the elegance of a scholar.

However, his features in his brows and eyes did not deviate from the true character of a general family.

Uninhibited and bold.

Honggu whispered in my ear and introduced everyone at the table one by one, "The one in purple is Gongsun He, the queen empress and the brother-in-law of General Wei, who was given the title of General Qingche.

His ancestors were Huns and later surrendered."

"Han Dynasty" The chairman didn't know what the princess and the emperor said.

The laughter suddenly became quiet, and Honggu immediately stopped talking.

Unexpectedly, Li Yannian walked out slowly.

Li Yannian's unparalleled piano skills were well-known in Chang'an, but not many people could actually hear his music.

A low exclamation immediately sounded from the bottom table.

After Li Yannian bowed to the emperor and empress, he sat aside and a maid held a harp and placed it in front of him.

Everyone knew that he was going to perform the piano and they all held their breath.

Li Yannian looked a little indifferent, and he pressed the strings a few times, but no music was formed.

In the silence, everyone was shocked.

Honggu looked at me, and I shook my head to tell her not to worry.

Li Yannian seemed to have taken a deep breath, his face straightened, and he touched the strings with both hands.

There was no sound, only a series of urgent sounds, pouring out in dense waves, like a waterfall falling straight into the sky, making people breathless.

The sound of the piano came one after another, each wave more urgent than the last, forcing people to be confused and want to hide away, but they were caught by the music and couldn't escape or break away.

Even Huo Qubing, who had always been indifferent, looked up at Li Yannian and listened carefully. listen.

After a series of slides, it suddenly slowed down, and a wisp of flute sound sounded against the sound of the piano.

It was soft and clear, causing people whose hearts had been forced to lose all sense of place to immediately turn to the origin of the flute sound.

The evening breeze blows gently, the bright moon is in the sky, and the waves are rippling.

The moon's shadow enters the water, and the lake and the sky are the same color.

A raft floated in the wind, and a woman stood with her back to everyone, playing a flute.

Under the hazy moonlight, the sleeves of the skirt were fluttering, and the thin back showed some pride and independence beyond the world of mortals, and also revealed some of the coquettishness and charm of the soft world.

The frail appearance makes people feel pity, but the noble attitude makes people dare not approach easily.

Everyone's hearts immediately calmed down, and while they were quietly listening to the flute, the sound of the flute gradually became lower, and the sound of the piano gradually became higher.

Different from the rapid sound at the beginning, this time it was gentle and soothing, and the raft floated leisurely to the center of the lake.

At this time, everyone no longer cared about appreciating Li Yannian's rare piano music, they all just stared at the woman on the raft.

Li Yan turned around and bowed to the emperor and empress.

Everyone sighed softly.

The moonlight was hazy, and they felt that the woman must be extremely beautiful, but this beauty was covered with a veil.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see it.

Qing, it makes people more and more confused and anxious.

After Li Yan finished her salute, she swung her sleeves forward, and accompanied by music, they floated straight from the raft to the water.

Everyone at the table screamed in surprise, the cup in someone's hand broke to the ground, and the chopsticks in someone's hand fell, even me.

They were all shocked and stared at Li Yan without blinking.

For a moment, they didn't understand how she could stand so gracefully on the water.

She walked slightly on the waves, dancing on the moon, with her belt fluttering and her skirt sleeves rustling.

I just felt that she was a goddess in the water, with an ethereal posture, so she could come and go freely on this side of the lake, stepping on the water waves with her feet, and playing with the shadow of the moon.

Everyone's faces were filled with shock and admiration, and their expressions were infatuated.

Li Yannian's piano music suddenly rose sharply.

Li Yan raised her hand and threw out the Yuebai Luo belt in her hand.

Everyone looked up at the Luo belt flying in the air, and the sound of the piano unexpectedly fit perfectly.

The fluttering and reverberating Luo Dai in the air caused everyone's hearts to rise and fall along with the Luo Dai.

Suddenly, when they lowered their heads, they only saw a pretty shadow falling into the moon in the water.

The moon's shadow shattered and reunited, but the beauty was hard to find, leaving only the ripples of light and the moon's shadow, a lonely day.

Perhaps the first ones to wake up were Huo Qubing, General Wei and me.

Everyone was still staring at the lake.

I turned to look at the emperor, but saw that Huo Qubing and General Wei were just looking at Queen Wei, while Queen Wei had a slight smile on her lips.

Staring at the lake, there seemed to be tears on the brow.

I suddenly didn't want to observe the emperor's expression anymore, so I turned my head and glanced at Li Gan, who also had a look of admiration on his face, while Li Yannian kept looking down at Qin, unable to see his expression clearly.

Honggu touched my arm and motioned for me to look at Li Gan.

I saw Li Gan with a look of admiration and admiration on his face, and his body couldn't help but lean forward slightly.

In the silence, the emperor suddenly said to Princess Pingyang: "I want to summon this woman."

Honggu immediately held my hand and looked at me with a smile.

I nodded slightly.

Li Gan's hand trembled slightly, and the wine in his glass spilled onto his robe.

He was stunned for a moment, but the sadness in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he was still talking and laughing calmly.

Princess Pingyang smiled and bowed slightly: "The emperor has already said that he would summon her.

Yesterday, Li Yannian played and sang a song for the emperor.

She is the beauty in the song who is beautiful."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty laughed with joy and said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "I didn't even see her face clearly, but I felt that she was already capable of conquering a country and a city.

How could she stand and dance on the water?"

Princess Pingyang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you might as well take a guess."

The emperor looked at the lake again and asked, "Have you driven wooden stakes under the lake?"

The princess held up her palms and smiled: "I have been busy for several days, but the emperor finally revealed it in one sentence."

All the ministers looked at the emperor with admiration, as if they were suddenly enlightened, but they didn't know how many were true and how many were false.

Huo Qubing just held a glass of wine and sipped it slowly, his expression indifferent.

At a dinner party, the guests and hosts had a great time, or should I say the emperor had a great time, and dispersed happily.

Hong Gu and I stood in the dark and waited until the others were almost gone, then we joined hands and headed out.

Hong Gu’s face was filled with joy, but I couldn’t be happy.

Understanding many things is one thing, but seeing them happen is another.

Empress Wei was also attracted by a clear song in this mansion.

Your Majesty, please note that tonight another woman is repeating her legend in front of her.

When Your Majesty looks at Li Yan under the lamp tonight, he will for a moment remember Wei Zifu many years ago.

When I was young, I loved attending banquets.

I thought it was very lively and everyone seemed happy and joyful.

When Shan Yu was there, he was always full of witty words.

Sometimes when my father didn’t want to go, I would still insist on going.

Today, I am sitting at the royal banquet again.

Only when I was on the road did I really see clearly that the wealth and prosperity were all covered with desolation.

I suddenly missed my dad very much.

When I was feeling depressed, the image of Master Jiu came to my mind.

I really wanted to see his warm figure under the lamp.

A lamp, a person, a house of peace and warmth, "Hong Gu, you can go back by yourself in the car.

I want to take a walk by myself."

Hong Gu looked at me carefully and said softly: "Go and don't think too much.

If it's not Li Yan, there will be someone else.

In this world, men are so lucky and women are so infatuated.

Queen Wei is a smart person and knows how to deal with it safely."

Of."

The moonlight covered the stone streets, soft silver light flowed in the corners of the eaves, and the occasional barking of dogs made the night more quiet.

As I was walking quickly along the long street, a carriage passing by suddenly stopped in front of me.

Huo Qubing jumped out of the carriage, stared at me and asked, "Why are you here?

You were at the princess' birthday banquet just now?"

I nodded lightly, and he said coldly: "I really want to congratulate you."

I bit my lip and said nothing, and walked forward by myself.

He waved to the coachman to signal him to leave, and followed him silently.

I wanted to ask him to leave, but seeing the look on his face, I couldn't say anything and just walked quietly.

The rumble of the carriage gradually faded away, and the night became as silent as ours.

The only sound on the long street was the sound of our footsteps, kicking and tapping.

Huo Qubing looked forward and said softly: "It's one thing to understand some things, but it's another to watch them happen in front of you."

I whispered: "I understand, if you feel uncomfortable, just scold me a few words." " He looked sideways at me and smiled and shook his head, "Even if he was angry in his heart, it has dissipated now.

It's rare to see you with such a low eyebrow.

Besides, this was expected, but I didn't expect that Li Yan's appearance would be smooth and smooth.

A great victory."

He chanted slowly: "There is a beauty in the north who is peerless and independent.

If you look at the Qingren city, you would rather not know the Qingren country.

It's rare to find a beautiful woman like this.

Li Yan knows how to use troops.

She first asked Li Yannian to use a song to attract the emperor's attention, but because he couldn't attend to the princess's birthday banquet, he could only miss him in his heart. , defeat the enemy first, if you wait for the emperor's summons and you will be passive, the time and place may not be as good as you want.

The scene tonight is truly wonderful. " The moonlight is very good, covering the long street, but I can still only see a little bit of the road in front of me.

I can't see clearly what is at the end of the long street.

When Li Yan and Liu Che met for the first time, Li Yan won a great victory due to their intentions and unintentional calculations.

What can happen later?

The two of them walked in silence, looking at the path.

Huo Qubing was going to take me back to Yufang.

They turned around a long street.

The lights were brightly lit in front of them.

The words "Tianxiangfang" on a long string of lanterns were clearly visible from a distance.

When I came out of Tianxiangfang alone, several big-name girls from Tianxiangfang actually saw me off in person.

I couldn't help but take a closer look at the guests who were leaving.

My heart was so shocked that I almost fell to the ground when my feet went weak.

Huo Qubing immediately reached out to support me.

I stared ahead in disbelief.

It was impossible, how could he appear on the streets of the Han Dynasty?

He was dressed in Han costume, with a long jade body standing under a string of red lanterns, a white satin robe and a jasper crown.

He looked luxurious and graceful under the lights.

Because he was a barbarian, his facial features were particularly sharp and angular, and he was as handsome as a knife.

However, his expression was cold and unusually cold, like the eternal snow, and the cold air was pressing.

The lights that should have been warm, were filled with coldness around him.

The gentle and charming Jiehuahua, surrounded by everyone, seemed to be standing alone on the top of the snowy mountain, just a cold and cold person.

It turned out that he was like this when he became a Chanyu, with no trace of gentleness in his eyebrows.

Back then, he was an elegant prince who smiled on a white horse, hugged the red and nestled in the green.

For a moment, I couldn't move or speak.

I just stared blankly at them walking towards me.

Suddenly I realized that I was as panicked as when I was back in the desert and running away with Yu Shan again.

I just felt that I had to run away quickly.

Hurry up.

Hide.

I immediately turned around and looked around.

There were dense buildings on both sides, with nowhere to hide.

I wanted to run, but Huo Qubing held my arm tightly and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

I heard the footsteps behind me, and with helplessness and panic, I rushed into Huo Qubing's arms, hugged him, and buried my face on his shoulder.

He was startled for a moment, then slowly put his arms around me and said in my ear: " Since I'm here, no one in Chang'an City can hurt you."

With a rough laugh, he sighed loudly: "The girls in Chang'an City are also very enthusiastic.

Their boldness is no worse than that of us girls from the Western Regions.

Judging from their backs, they look pretty."

Huo Qubing moved his hand, I squeezed his back tightly, and he withdrew his hand.

With a slight cough, the man's words died in his throat, and a very familiar yet strange voice said: "My lord, please forgive me, my servant is speaking freely, and I don't mean to be frivolous.

It's just that I'm in the Western Region and I'm used to being rough."

My body was shaking uncontrollably, and he was standing next to me.

I thought I would never see him again, but I never thought that many years later, Yi Zhixie and I would meet again on the streets of Chang'an.

If I suddenly take action, will he die by my hands?

Impossible.

In a place like this, with his current status, the people who follow him must be masters, and his kung fu is the best among the Huns.

But is it because I can’t do it with my own skills or because I can’t do it in my heart?

Huo Qubing hugged me hard, as if he wanted to tell me that he was responsible for everything.

His voice was cold, "You'd better disappear from my eyes as soon as possible."

"You don't know how to appreciate someone" "Yeah."

Yi Zhixie said calmly, but the man's anger immediately subsided and he said respectfully: "Young man deserves to die."

"Sorry to bother you two, let's leave now."

Yi Zhixie's voice was light, but before he could finish his words, the sound of his footsteps had already left.

A slightly soft voice said: "My master apologized to the young master in a nice way, but the young master was rude in his words.

He doesn't have a good appearance, which is really disappointing."

Huo Qubing suddenly hugged me several times, and there was a sound of several iron thorns falling to the ground.

Huo Qubing was obviously furious and wanted to push me away.

I hugged him tightly and begged in a low voice: "Let them go, please, please."

"Duo'er, what are you doing?"

Although Yi Zhixie's voice was calm, I could already hear that he was angry.

Duoer has such a temper again, Mudado actually comes with her.

Mudado forced a smile and said: "This young master is not weak in kung fu, but he is actually a hero.

No wonder he has such a bad temper.

I realize that I was wrong, and I beg you to forgive me."

I am afraid that no one in Chang'an City would dare to stand up and talk after hurting Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing suppressed his anger and only said one word from between his teeth: "Get out."

Several cold snorts of different pitches were all suppressed by Yi Zhixie's faint word "go".

I could only hear the hurried footsteps.

After a while, the street became quiet again.

The night was still the same, but I was already carrying it.

Cold sweat.

Huo Qubing said softly: "They left."

I tried to stand up straight, but my body became weak and almost slipped.

He quickly hugged me, and I put my head on his shoulder without saying a word or moving.

After a short while, I actually It was as if he had gone through a life and death battle and was exhausted.

He stood quietly until I raised my head and left his arms.

He smiled and asked, "I'm going to throw it away after using it."

I forced a smile, "Thank you."

He looked me up and down, touched his chin, and looked at me sideways.

He looked at me and said with a bad smile: "I am happy to lend my hand to you for such help.

I am happy to have such a beautiful woman in my arms.

But next time, please don't send me away with a word of thanks.

You must show some substantive expression."

I lowered my head and looked for the iron thorn that had just fallen to the ground.

"No one wants to thank you for your embrace.

I just thank you for not asking me who they are."

"If you are willing to tell me, I will tell you without asking.

If you just want to leave it behind, you can never explain.

I only know the Jinyu I know."

Huo Qubing squatted on the ground to help me search.

I was shocked and raised my eyes to look at him, but he just lowered his head and looked around carefully, "There is one here."

Just as he was about to reach out to take it, I immediately said: "Don't use your hands."

He took out the handkerchief from his pocket and carefully picked up the iron thorn.

After a closer look, he was sure that it was indeed Mudado.

It seemed that she was living a good life.

After all these years, I am no longer the same person as before, but she still has the same temperament.

"He hurt someone after a disagreement, and it was actually soaked in poison."

Huo Qubing stared at the iron thorn with a livid face.

I shook my head and said fondly: "It's not poison, she likes to cause trouble the most.

These are just some medicines that make people itchy.

But if you are really hit by it, although there is no risk to your life, it will be enough to make you feel flustered."

There was doubt in Huo Qubing's eyes, "No man is so boring.

As a woman, it's no wonder her voice sounds strange."

I nodded.

Huo Qubing sent me to the garden and wanted to say goodbye.

I looked at him hesitantly, but it was difficult to speak.

He waited for a while, but still didn't say a word when he saw me.

He said gently: "Don't worry, that man has extraordinary bearing.

The followers are not like ordinary people, they must They are not ordinary Hu merchants, but I will not send anyone to trace their identities."

I bowed to him gratefully and turned to go in.

He stopped me again and said softly: "Remember to come to me if you have anything.

You are not alone in Chang'an City."

His dark eyes were filled with warmth.

I stared at him for a long time, and my panicked heart seemed to calm down a lot.

I nodded vigorously, and he smiled brightly, "Have a good sleep."

I watched his back go away until he disappeared.

When he was out of sight, he closed the door and went back to the house.

The night was already deep, but I could barely sleep.

I hugged the cup and stared at the lamp, only looking at the tears dripping from the candle, which seemed to fall on my heart one drop at a time.

Why did Yi Zhixie come to Chang'an to know oneself and the enemy, to be victorious in every battle?

Or is there some other purpose?

Is everything always unsatisfactory?

When I thought I had completely put aside everything in the past, I actually saw him again in the dim light when I looked up.

Dad, I promised you that I would never go to Yi Zhixie, and that I would try my best to forget the Huns.

It was also in the Han Dynasty, but why did he appear on the streets of the Han Dynasty:
