Peach Blossom Button

Knocking on the door, the person who came to greet him was a strange young man, this young man was dressed in green clothes, tall and thin, he looked like a man who had transformed himself into bamboo.As soon as he saw Jin Shuisheng outside the door, he immediately saluted, let the door open, and made a "please" gesture.

Bai Wangyan glanced at the bamboo-like young man, and another guess gradually arose in his heart. In this moment of silence, Jin Shuisheng took a step aside and bowed slightly.

"Mr. Bai, please."

A smile gradually appeared on Bai Wangyan's face, and he waved his hand leisurely and said, "Boss Jin, please."

The two of them just walked towards the small courtyard swaying with green bamboos. Although Bai Wangyan was chatting with Jin Shuisheng, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.Taking advantage of Tao Mo's absence, the well-prepared visit, Zuizhuzhai's friendship with people from the Jianghu, and Jin Shuisheng's...sudden change of attitude.

Although Boss Jin of the bustling Chamber of Commerce is usually friendly to others, he doesn't need to say such things to Bai Wangyan, who is a scholar.Even if you think about it with your fingers... one of his identities must have been known by the other party.

Thinking of this, Bai Wangyan just smiled regretfully in his heart.

it's a pity.

While speaking, he had already crossed the small bridge and flowing water in the bamboo forest, and came to the door of the bamboo house, but at this time there was no sound of the zither lingering in the forest, and only the breeze and bamboo shadows remained.In front of the door of the house, there was still the stone table and bench that I had seen a few days ago, but at this moment, a familiar green figure was standing by the stone table, chatting with another person.

Liu Ying was still wearing a green shirt, with an ordinary appearance, and was talking excitedly at this moment.The other person turned his back to the direction of the visitor, sipping tea leisurely, nodding his head from time to time in response.

Suddenly, Liu Ying cast his eyes on Jin Shuisheng and Bai Wangyan, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but then it turned into joy, he lowered his head and said something to the man, and then hurried up to meet him.

"Boss Jin, Mr. Bai!" With surprise on Liu Ying's face, he hurriedly cupped his hands at the two of them, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" After that, his eyes fell on Bai Wangyan, "Boss Jin It's really fate that the honored guest you mentioned is Mr. Bai!"

Hearing what he said, the tea taster suddenly chuckled and asked, "Oh? Mr. Liu met this 'Mr. Bai' before?"

"Yes, Mr. Bai came here before..."

Bai Wangyan raised his eyebrows. Ever since Qi Wuya's incident, he was very wary of Liu Ying's habit of talking too much, so he hurriedly said, "Well, I got to know Mr. Liu because of some trivial matters before, and now Look at it, it really is destined."

"It is indeed destined." The man put down the teacup in his hand, turned around slowly, nodded and smiled at Bai Wangyan, "As the saying goes, we can meet each other thousands of miles away by fate."

This man's gray hair was neatly bundled in an emerald crown, about thirty years old, his face was like a crown of jade, gentle and modest, he was dressed in a green robe with gold silk sleeves.As soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Wangyan was secretly surprised, but when the man turned around and looked over, Bai Wangyan's heart became clear.

This person is none other than the "merchant" who called himself "Sikonghe" that he met in the Valley of Divine Sword!

He once disguised himself as an old beggar, wrapped mud in "Cuiyue Hanyu" and pretended to be crazy in front of the pawnshop, which attracted Tao Mo's chivalrous heart and stood up for him, thus making contact with Bai Wangyan.This person claimed to be acquainted with Jin Shuisheng of the bustling chamber of commerce, and wanted to meet Bai Wangyan and Tao Mo to justify such absurd behavior.Tao Mo didn't know the inside story and didn't take it seriously, but Bai Wangyan was different...

At that time, he only guessed that this person might have something to do with the old affairs of the imperial capital, and he was a person of prominent status, so as to test his own details, but this person was not as simple as he had imagined at the beginning.

At first, he thought it was extremely familiar, but he finally remembered it when he saw the deity now.That was a page in the roster that had long since been excluded...

"My lord." Jin Shuisheng saluted the young man respectfully, turned to let Bai Wangyan out, "The Caomin brought the person you want to see."

"Oh," the young man called "Prince" laughed immediately, "Boss Jin, don't be so polite. Someone brought it here? Thank you so much!"

"Don't dare." Jin Shuisheng quickly nodded slightly, "How dare you neglect the order of the prince."

The young man quickly waved his hands and said with a smile, "This is something I entrusted to you. Thank you is the right thing to do." When he said this, his long and narrow eyes turned to Bai Wangyan again, and this There was another layer of extremely elusive meaning in his eyes, but this meaning was fleeting. The young man walked slowly in front of Bai Wangyan and said with a slightly excited smile, "We meet again."

Bai Wangyan smiled, he bent down and saluted, "The grassroots have no eyes, and they didn't know the identity of the prince, it's really rude."

The young man hurriedly supported his arm, shook his head and said with a smile: "Please get up quickly! That's not my intention. When I heard Boss Jin tell about the adventures of the two of you in Senluo Villa, I wanted to make friends with you two. The incident in Sword Valley is my own capriciousness, please don’t blame Mr. Bai!" At this point, the young man couldn't help laughing, "That Tao Shaoxia is really chivalrous, I can't wait to see him again!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your love."

"But Tao Shaoxia should be here soon." The young man's eyes drifted to the sky in front of him, but he retracted it in an instant. He said to Liu Ying, "Mr. Liu, may I use the 'Bamboo Pavilion'? Mr. Bai has something important to discuss."

"Is there something important to talk about?" Bai Wangyan recited these four words silently in his heart, and then secretly thought about the sentence he said before, "Tao Shaoxia should be here soon." Thinking about it, he felt a little cold behind him, could it be Tao? Mo didn't return all night, and he really messed with the royal family of the imperial capital?Tao Mo should have been warned to leave quickly if he had known that other troubles would arise from Prince Chengxu's mansion...

"Mr. Bai? Please."

Just when he was in a dilemma, Jin Shuisheng and Liu Ying had already left, and only the prince was left in front of him for a while, Bai Wangyan quickly responded, and followed him to the stacked green bamboos.Bai Wangyan had also thought about how he would face this prince. Judging from his situation, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the royal family to deliberately contact him at this time.But at this moment, worrying about Tao Mo's safety caused cold sweat to break out on his back, and he couldn't help clenching his hands into fists secretly, but there was no panic on his face, he just followed behind the prince leisurely, Go to the bamboo forest.

Bamboo Pavilion, as the name suggests, is naturally a pavilion hidden in the stacked bamboo forest.The young man took Bai Wangyan all the way to the back of Zuizhuzhai, walked through the swaying bamboo forest, and an exquisite pavilion emerged among the green bamboos.In this Drunken Bamboo House, apart from Liu Ying and her book boy, there are occasional visitors, but at this time Ge Baiyou has already left, and there is no lingering qin sound in this bamboo grove, only the wind and bamboo shadows are left around. Besides, there is no third person.

In front of the bamboo pavilion, the prince walked straight to the pavilion as if walking in his own home, pushed the door and entered, followed by Bai Wangyan.The furnishings in the pavilion are neat and elegant, spotless, and there are calligraphy and paintings hanging there. Bai Wangyan glanced at those calligraphy and paintings, and they were all made by Mr. Qingzhu.

The two walked down the stairs to the second floor of Zhuzhong Pavilion. The second floor was wider than the first floor. Outside the open windows, they merged into the scenery of the imperial capital outside Zuizhuzhai. From these few windows, the scenery inside the high walls in the center of the imperial capital could not be glimpsed.

Inside the high wall is the heart of Huang Kingdom - the imperial palace.

The young man paced around and walked to the table by the window to sit down. He raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, then smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, I have something... I want to talk to you face to face."

Bai Wangyan didn't hesitate, he said "Thank you, my lord", and sat down.

"Ha, you're not very polite," the young man shook his head and smiled, "It's different from other people."

"My lord wants to make friends with me, so I will treat him as my friend." Bai Wangyan smiled frankly, "I don't know what my lord wants to say to me?"

"Ha, it's nothing important. It's been more than a year since I saw him in the Excalibur Valley..." The young man waved his hand, he straightened his body slightly, and his eyes fell on the white-clothed scholar in front of him, "White Have you already guessed who I am?"

"The Ninth Prince of the Dynasty, King Chengjing." Bai Wangyan replied slowly.

"As expected of Mr. Bai, I guessed it so easily." King Chengjing laughed.

"There are rumors that the Ninth Prince of the current dynasty liked to make friends in the world, he was generous and enthusiastic, and often walked among the people," Bai Wangyan said, "He is a rare and good prince."

Chengjing King Yin Qingluan likes to make friends with reckless people, and gets along with all kinds of religions and streams, but even so, he only has a bit of fun and has no interest in the throne.It is precisely because of this that he was excluded from the roster.

Hearing Bai Wangyan's comment, the smile on King Chengjing's face faded slightly. He shook his head and said, "No, compared to elder brother, I'm just an idle prince who just wants to have fun. The second brother is so hard-working and pleads for the people. , that is a good prince. Me, I just like to play."

At the end, King Chengjing smiled and asked, "What do Mr. Bai think?"
