moonlit night

At that moment, some scenes that seemed to be buried deep under the torrent of time and had not seen the light of day for many years flashed through King Guyue's mind until Li Shang got off his horse and approached here step by step , King Guyue was still immersed in the meditation caused by the glimpse just now, he wanted to see those pictures clearly, but his thoughts were like a torrent with closed gates, and he was still in a daze.

It seems that there are some gods in the dark, who don't want those pictures to appear in the world.

"Your Majesty looks at me like this. Is it because I have flowers growing on my face?" Li Shang walked up to him, sat down on the ground immediately, and placed the warm food in the food box with the things he bought earlier on the ground. Come on, during the process, seeing King Guyue still looking thoughtful, he couldn't help waving his hands in front of him, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Or, it is the king who finally felt that the appearance of the minister is actually very good. Not that annoying."

There was an ambiguous smell permeating the air, King Gu Yue finally turned his attention back to the person in front of him, he glanced at Li Shang, and said coldly: "What does Gu Hui think of a person, what does he look like? Nothing to do."

Li Shang didn't care about his attitude, and just went about the work at hand, mocking himself: "It's ridiculous that I always hope that in the king's heart, I can be different from others."

different?

"Naturally it is different," King Guyue said slightly harshly, "The great achievements of the general are unmatched, how can he be the same as others."

He usually leaves a bit of leeway when doing things, but today, for some reason, whenever he sees Li Shang, he feels in a daze, so he can only use such a merciless way to cover up his uneasy mood.

With their identities, is there any other possibility besides disgusting both sides?

Hearing his hurtful words, Li Shang remained silent, only picked up the two jugs of wine he had told the proprietress to heat up earlier, and handed one to the King of Guyue, saying: "The newly released sweet-scented osmanthus wine should be eaten with autumn crabs." Best, but unfortunately you are weak and not suitable for eating crabs, so come and try this bar."

King Gu Yue frowned, turned his head away from looking at the wine, and said cruelly: "You don't have to be like this, General..."

"Ruhui." Li Shang said suddenly, "What are you running away from?"

King Guyue looked at him suddenly, his brows that were seldom stretched became tighter and tighter, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.

Except for the deceased king, queen, and Sister Wang Heenshu, almost no one has ever called him by his first name.Especially after he succeeded to the throne, he didn't even call Hate Shu very much.

The meaning of this name is actually not very good, the wind and rain are like darkness, and the rooster is crowing endlessly. No matter what the prospects are, there will always be a period of darkness with wind and rain.

Li Shang, who had already taken the following offenses as a habit, didn't mind that he committed a taboo, he forced down the idea of ​​going forward to smooth the man's eyebrows, and simply took a big gulp of his own pot of wine, watching Looking at the sky full of stars, he began to chatter:

"Actually, I often think, if I hadn't been born in a family of generals, and my father hadn't left so early, what would I be like now?"

Perhaps this lingering night was too gentle, King Gu Yue looked at Li Shang's side face covered with silver by the moonlight, suddenly relaxed, and answered in a mysterious way: "What will it be like?"

"Maybe you can be a knight-errant who lives in the world with your sword in the rivers and lakes; maybe you can idle around and be a good citizen who can live in peace with a little wealth." Li Shang squinted his eyes comfortably and lay down on the wet grass. "Just drink a little wine every day." , beat the child, don't worry about anything else, far away from the power struggle, don't need to be annoying, and save a stigma, how good it is."

After finishing speaking, he waved to the King of Ancient Yue, and invited with a smile: "You should be tired after walking for a day, how about lying down and resting together? I tried it, and the grass doesn't prick people."

King Gu Yue looked helplessly at the out-of-shape person, thought for a moment, and said lightly: "Actually, it would be really good if we could do that.

After a pause, he added: "Actually, as long as you want to, you can still do it now. Living in a high place in the temple must have a heavy burden. If the general yearns for the fun of the rivers and lakes and the countryside, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible."

Li Shang took another sip of wine on his own, and didn't answer his words, but changed the subject to the other party:

"I have said so many heartfelt words, can I also exchange some truthful words from the king? If the king was not born in the royal family, what kind of life would he want to live?"

"It's meaningless to say these things," King Gu Yue said lightly, "Gu is different from others, since he was born, there is only one way to go."

He never wanted to take this thorny road of kingship, but he never had any other choice.

"Then let's change the question." Li Shang smiled meaningfully, "Has anyone ever lived in the heart of the king? Whether it's the concubines selected in the palace, or the beautiful Li who glanced at the willow Girl, is there anyone who wants to spend a lifetime with you?"

Seeing that the King of Ancient Yue didn't answer, Li Shang pointed to the bright star in the sky, and said happily: "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only meet once a year at the Magpie Bridge. Isn't this difficult? But not only did it do it, but it also became a song that people scrambled to praise. It shows that nothing is difficult in this world, as long as there is a heart, as long as there is a heart, there is nothing impossible."

"Legends are all lies." King Gu Yue was silent for a while, and finally said: "Even if it is true, how many people can survive the years of loneliness and pain after that moment of reunion?"

Before Li Shang could respond, he said calmly, "Actually, following a master like Gu really wronged you."

Speaking of this, King Gu Yue's eyes instantly flashed a shocking sharpness: "But if God is willing to give him another ten years, it will definitely not be the situation he is now."

That flash of lightning was as sharp as knocking on the door of sorrowful fate. It suddenly pierced through the sky, but then returned to silence in an instant, silently telling the thousands of gullies in the man's chest that had to succumb to the impermanence of heaven.

"Where is the need to ask for God's favor?" Li Shang threw away the flagon in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, "My life is up to me, such as darkness, do you believe it? As long as it is what you want, you can do it available."

These words were extremely arrogant and presumptuous, obviously he did not take the way of heaven seriously at all, King Gu Yue wanted to reprimand him for being disrespectful, but he suddenly felt that it meant a lot.

"Boom--"

A deafening thunder sounded from the sky, like the roar of the gods against this ignorant boy. Under the bright lightning, King Gu Yue suddenly found that Li Shang's complexion seemed a little paler than before.

"It's going to rain," he looked at the black clouds that were about to overwhelm the sky, and finally said: "Go back."

The next day was King Yan's birthday, and early in the morning, a mighty ancient Yue ceremony team ushered in the Palace of King Yan.

The leader, Hate Shu, rode on the white horse she was used to, and dressed in a bright red dress. She walked in a majestic manner, giving the ancient Yue royal court a very good look.

King Yan personally welcomed the gifts prepared by her and King Gu Yue into the palace, held a grand banquet in a polite manner, and then entered into the traditional exchange of blows between the two countries in a very friendly manner in front of civil and military officials.

Of course, Cang Liu also participated. Not only did he participate, but he also arranged for Sha Manhua, a fake, to meet with Hate Shu, his disciple.

Outside Yanwang Palace, Sha Manhua, who was wearing a five-color feather skirt and fluttering ribbons, was stopped by Jun Changye before entering the palace.

Leaning against the palace wall with his sword in his hand, the young man said to her the first words since the two parted:

"Are you the person on the Yunze in the spring day?"

Question marks are used, but the tone is declarative.

Although Jun Changye managed to sneak into Cangliu's General's Mansion last night, he hadn't had time to meet Shamanhua, so he could only find the time to chat with her before she entered the palace.

In fact, he didn't want to be aggressive, but by chance last night, he saw Shamanhua's methods of using snakes. In this case, he had to ask some questions.

After hearing what he said, Shamanhua didn't panic, just smiled and said: "Since you know everything, why don't you expose me?"

Jun Changye looked her over from head to toe, and said lightly, "This has nothing to do with me."

The implication is that he has already guessed Shamanhua's identity, as long as Shamanhua doesn't mess around and cause trouble, he won't go out, but if not, there is no guarantee.

"Oh?" Shamanhua played with her bundled hair, and took a few steps towards Jun Changye, a strange light reflected in her pupils, "I am not related to you, why don't you tell me? Why don't you tell me?" Everyone, am I the villain who killed that little girl from the Qu family?"

Jun Changye took a step back calmly, kept the distance from Shamanhua within a stable range, and said: "The Sanskrit Sect and my master have never been at odds, why should I help them?"

Sha Manhua tilted her head: "I really envy you for having such a good relationship with Mr. Wang Shu. Since that's the case, you must hope to get a good ranking so that you can go back and make him happy."

Jun Changye looked straight into her eyes and said word by word: "What do you want to do next?"

"What do you think?" Shamanhua continued to play with her hair, "Since I am a bad person, I will definitely not do good things, do you think so?"

Jun Changye said expressionlessly: "You want to stir up disputes between the two countries as soon as possible, and in the most direct way. If I were you, I would take the opportunity to kill King Yan, and then blame the eldest princess of Guyue."

Shamanhua looked at him with a little surprise, and slowly revealed a meaningful smile: "I didn't expect Wang Shujun's disciple to have such vicious thoughts, you really surprise me time and time again. But, if Your master knows that you are doing this, won't he be very disappointed?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Jun Changye glanced at her coldly, "What do I need to do next?"

"No need," Shamanhua smiled slightly, "Just look at it."

After finishing speaking, she gracefully straightened the fluttering ribbons on her dress, and then rushed forward to call her palace servants to nod, and then walked into the palace together.
