General, there is a demon [Rebirth]

The next day, after the court strike.

"Congratulations, General Xiao!"

"Congratulations, General Xiao, I heard that something good is coming, don't forget to invite the little old man to have a glass of wedding wine when the wedding is held!"

"General Xiao is overjoyed, let's spread the branches and leaves for the Duke of Jin's mansion as soon as possible!"

"Congratulations, General Xiao! By the way, I heard that the general's wife is good at looking at faces, so I don't know how to understand Feng Shui. Hehe, I want to buy a house recently, I don't know..."

"..." Xiao Duo, who was unable to enter the door last night and slept in the study all night, had a gloomy face the whole time.

After going to court today, his colleagues looked at him very strangely. After the court, there was an endless stream of congratulatory people, and the congratulatory messages were all kinds of strange.

"How did you know that Xiao is going to get married?"

Xiao Duo frowned and asked the servant who wanted to buy a house: "How did you know that Mrs. Xiao is good at yin and yang?"

The little attendant glanced at the general Xiao Duo was hugging on his chest, stuttered and said: "Yes, it was what Liu Yu, the governor of the Liu Fu, said. He said that he met the general and his wife by chance yesterday, and the lady told him that there would be a bloody disaster. As a result of fulfilling the test, I cannot go to court, and I said when I sent someone to ask for leave."

Xiao Duo frowned again, unable to rub the center of his brows.

How could he have forgotten that besides being tactful, Master Liu also has another problem - broken mouth!

Chongrenfang, the mansion of the Duke of Jin.

Carrying the sweet-scented osmanthus cake bought at Dexingzhai, Xiao Duo asked the butler Lao Tao: "Master, where is Miss Chang?"

The butler, Old Tao, laughed and said, "Just after lunch was served, Miss Chang said she was waiting for the general."

Xiao Duo paused, shook the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, and strode towards the backyard.

backyard.

"Tell me, what exactly is this thing?" Huo Changying was staring at the bare wooden box on the desk, asking about the peony flower in the corner.

The peony flower, which opened its leaves to bask in the sun, slowly shook the flowers and leaves pretending to be lofty.

"Hey, be careful I'll pull all your leaves!" Huo Changying raised his eyebrows and straightened up, making a gesture to pull the leaves.

As soon as the hand touched the leaf, the peony raised the leaf angrily and was about to fight back, when it heard a steady and powerful voice with a slightly rising pitch,

"—Elder baby!"

One person and one flower looked at General Xiao who came in through the door.

Xiao Duo: "..."

After returning to his senses for a while, Xiao Duo stepped forward to stare at the peony flower holding the leaves, frowned and said: "Is this the flower demon?"

Huo Changying looked up at him and nodded.

Xiao Duo frowned even tighter, and his voice was cold: "Put it in your bedroom?"

The peonies at the corner of the table silently put down the raised flowers and leaves, and stand quietly in the flower pot, looking at the nose, nose, nose, and heart, as if staying out of the way.

Huo Changying stared at the peony flower that was a plant, then turned his eyes and raised his eyebrows to look at Xiao Duo and sneered, "Could it be placed in the general's room? This peony flower is a male flower, so it can't be turned into a charming and shy little lady."

Xiao Duo: "..."

For a moment, Xiao Duo took a deep breath, rubbed the center of his brows, and thought that at least Huo Changying had deliberately waited for him to eat, so he couldn't help but slow down: "I heard from Uncle Tao that you haven't eaten yet, you..."

Huo Changying got up and walked to the table, pointing to a soup: "They said that if they dine with the general, they can have an extra fresh fish soup."

"..." Xiao Duo twitched his forehead when he heard this, ignored Huo Changying's mocking lips, and ate in silence.

Huo Changying caught a glimpse of the pastry bag on the table, and his eyes lit up. He likes this kind of pastry the most, especially the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Dexingzhai's. He has eaten a lot during his travels in the past few years, but it is not as tasty as the one he ate when he was a child. .

"You bought this for me?" Huo Changying asked unceremoniously while untying the rope.

With a cold face, Xiao Duo snorted through his nose, peeking at the joyful expression of the young man eating the pastry, he touched the tip of his nose, and the displeasure just now was swept away.

The peony flowers at the corner of the table are shaking their leaves in the sunlight.

After eating, Xiao Duo still sat in Huo Changying's room and refused to leave.

Glancing at Xiao Duo, who had nothing to do and was looking for something to do, Huo Changying pinched his brows and asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

The emperor actually personally prayed for the prince, although most of it was to suppress the overly prosperous royal temple, but the worry in it was unrealistic.

Xiao Duo put down the teacup in his hand, frowned and shook his head: "Three years ago, he was seriously ill. Since last year, the imperial physician has only allowed him to recuperate. He doesn't know what the illness is."

"Could it be that the Imperial Physician Wang Peng can't diagnose and treat it?" Huo Changying asked suspiciously, the imperial physician Wang Peng's medical skills are unmatched by anyone in the world.

Seeing Xiao Duo shaking his head, Huo Changying was even more suspicious. If he remembered correctly, the prince died of illness in the early autumn of the year, and the fourth prince who had been unknown since then was appointed as the crown prince. The prince's only advantage is - relatives.

The prime minister, Nie Ran, is the cousin of his mother, Concubine Nie.

And the fourth prince who succeeded to the throne had a hobby that was quite obscure in the history books, but the historians had to write it down, so that he was condemned by all the writers in the future.

The fourth prince known as Emperor Ping in history, the only favorite in this life is the servant Zhong Qin who has been by his side since childhood.

Although Zhong Qin is a servant, because of the favor of Emperor Ping, he has a high position and authority, but he is low-key and never speaks well about political affairs. From the history books, it seems that he is devoted to the emperor, but it cannot stop several emperors from following suit. , the trust in the eunuch is even more loyal to the good general.

Because of one person, the emperors of successive dynasties in Great Yin favored eunuchs, so that in the last years, the eunuchs took power, controlled the military and political power, and even poisoned the prince, stabbing a fatal knife in the heart of the precarious Great Yin.

Huo Changying sighed, in fact, this matter is really scoring people, such as Zhong Qin, when he got close, he said that Li Dezhong, the chief inspector of his father's emperor, was a loyal person, and he played with the wooden box in his hand. It is indeed not easy to be seven years old. I have escaped the poison and alcohol, I have escaped the disease, but I have not been able to escape the long sword of the rebels...

Seeing Huo Changying's gloomy expression and the wooden box in his hand, Xiao Duo asked, "What is this? It seems familiar?"

"I took it from Master Jingyuan's bookshelf yesterday." Huo Changying said casually, completely unaware of his self-indulgence.

Xiao Duo: "..."

Huo Changying glanced at him lazily, stared at the wooden box and sighed, "I can't open it!" He couldn't do spells or internal strength, and even the sword didn't move at all.

Xiao Duo was slightly surprised, thought for a moment and said: "I'm afraid only one person in Yong'an City can open it."

"Who?" Huo Changying became interested.

Xiao Duo frowned, rubbed his fingers, and when he was about to speak, he heard

"Where is Zisheng, where is Zisheng?!"

One person pushed the door and entered, looked at Xiao Duo and said: "Stinky boy! Your eldest sister didn't even know to go out to greet her when she came back!"

The sassy woman in a scarlet riding outfit with a round neck stood at the door with a whip in her hand and looked behind Xiao Duo, wondering: "This is my sister-in-law?"

The woman stepped forward and looked at Huo Changying carefully, raised her heroic eyebrows and said in disgust: "The chest is so flat, how can you give birth?!"

Huo Changying: "..."

Xiao Duo: "..."

Indoors in winter, the charcoal brazier is crackling and warm.

The three stood, and the air seemed to freeze for a while.

When Huo Changying saw Xiao Duo's elder sister looking at his chest, he had a toothache. Xiao Qiluo was seven years older than Xiao Duo, and the two were siblings. Because Xiao Duo lost his mother when he was young, and the elder sister was like his mother, the two had a deep relationship. , it's just that Xiao Qiluo's character...is quite pungent.

In fact, he didn't have much impression of this sister of the Xiao family. His eyes glanced at the red whip that the sister of the Xiao family was holding, and he couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his buttocks.

A picture flashed through my mind.

He seemed to have been whipped when he was a child, for what reason, well, I can't remember.

"Zi Sheng, how could you appoint yourself a wife without saying a word?"

Xiao Qiluo moved her disgusted eyes away from Huo Changying's chest, and stared angrily at the "snap" of the whip in Xiao Duo's hand: "The brat's wings are stiff, so you don't see your elder sister and father anymore?!"

Facing Xiao Qiluo's reprimand, Xiao Duo respectfully said without changing his face: "It happened for a reason, not because of my will." He grabbed the whip that was angry and threw it at Huo Changying, Xiao Duo frowned and whispered something in Xiao Qiluo's ear.

Huo Changying leisurely put both hands in the white fox's handcuffs, watching with great interest the expression on Xiao's sister's face from anger to surprise, then hesitation, and then surprise, Xiao Duo is still a piece of ice that has not changed for thousands of years. face.

Xiao Qiluo looked at Huo Changying, looked up and down with probing eyes, put away the whip, suddenly smiled and waved her hands: "Since Zisheng likes it, then stay in the mansion."

Huo Changying blinked and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Don't you think that a little girl with unknown background should move out of the house?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qiluo's smile deepened, "Miss Chang," she lowered her head and hummed, "You know a lot." Seeing Huo Changying, she waved her hands and said, "Okay, okay, the Duke's Mansion is so big and not bad." It's your room, just live in peace of mind."

Patting Xiao Duo on the shoulder: "Zi Sheng, you have your own plans when you grow up, and the elder sister doesn't interfere too much. I have to go and see Mr. Nian. This child is feeling a little uncomfortable all the way."

"Is Nianjun all right?" Xiao Duo asked concerned.

"It's okay," Xiao Qiluo shook the whip in her hand, "The child must have a headache from being bumped by the carriage." After saying that, she turned around and went out, closing the wide open door by the way.

Inside the room, Huo Changying looked teasingly at Xiao Duo who was drinking tea at the side.

Propping his elbows on the table, he leaned over, pursed his lips and said softly, "Brother Zisheng."

Xiao Duo shook his hand and spilled half a cup of tea.
