It's not good to be a courtier

After the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the entire imperial capital, from the majestic and towering palaces to the row upon row of ordinary people, are all joyfully preparing for the New Year. On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the little princes will participate in sacrifices one after another, and the martial arts class will be temporarily suspended. .Feng Yan received his monthly salary happily, thinking that it would not be too cool to rest for half a month. His father and elder brother were too busy to touch the ground. He decided to go to the hunting ground in the suburbs to have fun for a few days, and he had just galloped to the city. At the door, he was stopped by the kid from the Wen family behind him.

"Young Master Feng, my young master asked you to wait for him, he will be here soon." Wen Liangzhi panted, seeing Young Master Feng coming out of his house, chasing all the way here, before barely catching up.

"The general has just entered the city, so your young master won't stay in the mansion to serve relatives?" Feng Yan asked strangely. He knew that the general was entering the capital today, so he didn't invite Liu Yu to go with him. He didn't want Liu Yu to send someone to wait for him.

"The general is busy returning to Beijing, and at the end of the year, he can't take care of my young master. My young master has been held too tightly these past few months, so don't shirk it." Wen Liangzhi got off his horse quickly and took Feng Yan's reins first, Only then did he start to look at his young master.

Sure enough, after a while, Liu Yu arrived on horseback, and when he saw Feng Yan, he said, "I knew you couldn't be idle, but you didn't call me, and I will deal with you later. Drive!"

Liu Yu walked in a hurry, Feng Yan didn't think much about it, and rode his horse to keep up, and the two of them shuttled freely in the snowy forest, which was rare and enjoyable.In the evening, I took a bunch of wild animals back to let the kitchen of Biezhuang do a good job. The kitchen was in full swing, but an unexpected visitor came to Biezhuang.

Standing in the middle hall, Feng Yan looked at the people strangely, then at Liu Yu, cupped his hands and said, "Feng Yan has seen General Xue, but I don't know why General Xue is here this time."

Xue Chengxuan arched his hands, took two quick steps and approached Feng Yan, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said quite warmly: "Auntie said that brother Yu came to the countryside for hunting, to join in the fun, I didn't think of anything else But Zhuang didn't see anyone else, and after inquiring, I found out that he came to your village, so I just came here for fun, I don't know if you like it or not, Brother Yan?"

Feng Yan calmly took a step back, cupped his hands and said: "The general is here. Feng Yan is very honored and welcomes it. Butler, take General Xue to settle down first. The young hero, the general, protects the family and the country. Don't be lazy."

There was still a smile on Xue Sheng's face, and a cold light flickered in his eyes. The day ahead was long, he whipped the whip in his hand, and said politely: "Then please lead the way, the housekeeper."

Liu Yu didn't say a word, and when Xue Sheng left, he quickly pulled Feng Yan and said, "Go back quickly, leave now." After speaking, he pushed him repeatedly.

No matter how big-hearted Feng Yan was, he felt that something was wrong at this moment, and asked a little uncertainly, "What does Xue Sheng mean?"

"Do you know my cousin's deeds in Lucheng, bullying young children, playing with teenagers, he is a good Longyang, he has been close to you several times, and now he is blatantly coming to Biezhuang, what do you mean by him? "Liu Yu said anxiously. Feng Yan also knew how big or small this matter was, so he walked out the door immediately. He never thought that there would be soldiers guarding the gate of Biezhuang, and Liu Yu planted his fist on the door frame. At this point, my father misunderstood him!"

Seeing that he couldn't get out, Feng Yan calmed down instead, and said calmly: "I'm the son of General Zhen Guo, no matter how romantic Xue Sheng is, he won't force me, Yu'er, don't worry."

Liu Yu rubbed his forehead, and said helplessly, "Don't you know what your own reputation is? A young general, a romantic man, if something happens, who do you think they will blame first?"

Feng Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, and actually forgot about this matter. In his last life, he was indeed quite romantic at this age. Although he didn't forcefully snatch a lot of folk girls, there were many jokes and flirting, but the reputation was Not so much.Then Xue Sheng must have known something, so he dared to come to the door so blatantly, Feng Yan covered his face, feeling a little self-inflicted.After a while, he suddenly asked: "How is your cousin's legs and feet?"

Liu Yu said with a sympathetic expression: "Above you and me, we can still fight together, but what about the many soldiers outside his gate?"

"No way?" Feng Yan said in horror: "Could it be that Xue Sheng had a habit of asking his subordinates to help when he was doing the Dunlun thing?"

Liu Yu rolled his eyes, got up and wanted to leave, and said coolly: "I see that you can still laugh like this, so I don't think I care too much about it. Then I wish you a beautiful day and a beautiful day, and the moon will be full."

Feng Yan immediately stopped his way, and said sincerely: "Son Tzu has a saying, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Don't I have to fully understand your cousin's behavior style before I can deal with it."

Liu Yu stopped, "Oh, tell me, how are you going to deal with it?"

Feng Yan bit his fingernails, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "How about kicking his descendants when he is unprepared?"

"It's very creative. It's very decisive and resolute. It's a good idea. But please think about the Xue family, the Liu family, and your Feng family before doing it." Liu Yu said angrily.

Feng Yan nodded, "Next time you don't have to go to such trouble, just say no." After nibbling on his nails for a while, he simply did not waste his brain power and took a few cases directly, "I don't believe it, I don't want him to return If you can force me, I am not a dead person, and I can still let him do what I want!"

What else did Liu Yu want to say, when a soldier knocked on the door, "The general invited the two young masters to the front hall for dinner."

Feng Yan and Liu Yu looked at each other, "I remember this seems to be my Zhuangzi, your cousin is starting to be annoying."

When they arrived at the front hall, Xue Sheng was already waiting at the table with four or five jars of wine, saying that he would have a drink with the two brothers tonight.Feng Yan tried his best to push back, what kind of person Xue Sheng is, how could the two of them refuse.When Feng Yan saw Xue Sheng's upright, upright appearance without losing his bearing, he slightly let go of his raised heart. Maybe he just wanted to make friends with each other, so why not...

The three of them drank a full four jars of wine. During this period, Xue Sheng hooked Feng Yan's shoulders several times, but was rejected calmly, and the more he refused, the more vigilant he became.Xue Sheng tried to persuade him to drink, but Liu Yu had no room to fight back, and soon fell down.

Feng Yan looked at Liu Yu who was lying on the ground with hatred, and decided that he should be happy with his hatred.When Gein Xue Sheng rushed over, he really couldn't think of other things, he just wanted to close his eyes and ignore it.

Xue Sheng hugged him and pressed him onto the couch. He endured it, but he kicked Xue Sheng down. His drunken eyes suddenly cleared up, and he smiled awkwardly: "General Xue, Dun Lun It’s still a matter of your preference and my willingness, I thought about it, and I don’t think so.”

Xue Sheng sat halfway on the ground, scraped the corners of his mouth with his thumb, and said darkly, "Whether you like it or not, the Japanese general is going to order you today. If you obey, you will suffer less."

"The general already knows who I am, so you're not afraid that I, the general of Zhenguo, will trouble you?" Feng Yan asked with interest, pretending to be open-minded.

Xue Sheng smiled nonchalantly, "It's just a son of a general, even if I do something to you, what can you do to me? No matter how powerful you are, the General's Mansion of Zhenguo can beat the General's Mansion, even if Liu Yu is there for you As a guarantor, I want to see if my uncle believes in you, a playboy, or in me, a general's nephew."

Feng Yan brushed off the corner of his clothes and sighed, "Although I can guess the general's mentality, it is a bit shameless to say this from the general's mouth. But the general may have made the wrong idea today."

"Oh, I want to see what kind of idea I made wrong today, General." Xue Sheng got up from the ground with a determined look on his face.

Feng Yan's vision was suddenly blurred, he shook his head, felt the world spinning, and immediately pinched his thigh hard, the pain made him grin, and gasped for breath, he said in surprise: "You are in the wine?" Take the medicine."

unwise!Feng Yan didn't think much about it, and before the effects of the medicine dissipated, he immediately got up and kicked Xue Sheng down, and rushed to the door. As soon as he opened the door, Xue Sheng mercilessly grabbed his hair and dragged him inside.

"Come on!" Feng Yan yelled, the moonlight was setting in the courtyard, but there was no one there, Feng Yan's heart immediately sank to the bottom of the valley, and he wanted to delay for a while, waiting for his elder brother to come to rescue him, but Xue Sheng didn't expect A junior in the army, the means are so low.Feng Yan grabbed the door frame and tried his best to support it. Various methods flashed through his mind, but none of them worked, but at this moment, a black shadow appeared on the opposite wall.

The black figure appeared in front of him in a flash, dressed in black and with silver stripes, it was the hidden guard in the palace, the dark guard grabbed Feng Yan and pulled it out forcefully.Xue Sheng let go of his hand suddenly, and the dark guard immediately jumped out of the courtyard wall with Feng Yan.

Feng Yan barely stayed awake, but couldn't help being in a trance, thinking he was still in the previous life, looked around and asked strangely: "Why are you alone and the others?" several.

The black figure staggered, almost slipped his hand, and remained silent, but his heart was greatly hurt.When Murong Qi sent him to Feng Yan's side, he was extremely unhappy.A war slag whose martial arts are close to useless, it's fine to protect him casually.The dark guard boasted that he had been hiding very well, but judging by Feng Yan's clear appearance, he probably knew of his existence long ago, so he couldn't do this job.

It was only after Feng Yan asked that he realized that Murong Qi was just an unfavored little prince, and it would be nice to have a secret guard.Just as he was about to explain, his head suddenly became dizzy and he couldn't even stand upright. The weight of his whole body was almost entirely on the hidden guard.

The dark guard picked up Feng Yan, who was not very conscious, and they crossed over to a villa. The lights in the village were dim, like a village that he didn't visit often.

Feng Yan was half-drowned and half-awake when he suddenly heard a noise outside, "Who is it!" He started up, and the hidden guard immediately knelt by his bedside and said, "Don't be impatient, Mr. Feng, everything has been arranged properly. "

The main courtyard was full of flames, General Xue was searching for traitors, who would dare not open the door, on the corridor of the atrium, there was a game of black and white, with many variables in the game.

A young man in white leaned gracefully on the porch pillar, looked at the young man in gray beside the chess board, and sighed a little: "Weird things happen every year, especially this year. First, there is the young man of the Feng family, Lang Lao, who personally supported me." Save. Later, there was a young general of the Xue family who took credit for his pride and coveted his blue face, so I felt that I must have come to a false imperial capital."

The boy in gray didn't speak, he held a sunspot with his fingertips, focused on the chess game in front of him, the courtyard was brightly lit, and the courtyard was silent.After a long while, the young man seemed to have finally found a suitable position, and when he settled down, the young man in white leaned over to take a look, and said regretfully, "It's just another game, it's really boring."

"Your Majesty, there is a general stirring up trouble outside the gate," a person at the courtyard gate reported.

The young man in white didn't raise his eyes, and said calmly: "Go out, any ghosts and snakes would dare to sneak into this king's yard." Looking back, the young man in gray was no longer there.

He raised his eyes and looked at the backyard, with a jade bone fan pressed against his lips, and said to himself: "To see or not to see, I'm really curious," with a clear and clear voice, and then smiled softly, "Is this your sincerity?"

When Feng Yan woke up again, he felt that his lower body was swaying a lot. He rubbed his eyes and suddenly remembered Xue Sheng. He immediately jumped up and hit his head on the roof of the car with a "bang", "Ouch!" , his elder brother was sitting upright at the rear of the car, reading a book quietly without even raising his eyebrows.

"Brother...Brother, it's you, where is Xue Sheng?" Feng Yan immediately rushed to his elder brother before the crime as if he had found a life-saving straw, looking like he was still alive after the disaster.

Feng Zhang endured it, endured it again, and finally picked up the book and greeted Feng Yan's head, "You still have the face to say, how did you provoke him, Biezhuang was in trouble yesterday!"

Feng Yan raised his arm to block his elder brother's attack, and said aggrievedly: "I really don't know, that's why I was completely defenseless yesterday, and almost... where is Xue Sheng's beast?"

Feng Zhang didn't answer, and asked after a while, "Do you know who the person who rescued you yesterday was?"

Feng Yan was rubbing his head, almost paused, after thinking for a while, he decided to hide the hidden guard and not mention it, he just said: "Yesterday that beast drugged me, I managed to break free from him, turned over a few times On the wall, I don't know who I am. Where did you find me?"

Feng Zhang looked at Feng Yan who was obviously avoiding his gaze, and wondered what his stunned younger brother was hiding. On the surface, that other courtyard was the Zhuangzi of the imperial merchant of the capital, but in reality it was the king of Nanling County behind the scenes. The Nanling County King rescued the Feng family, which is too intriguing.

Feng Yan looked at Feng Zhang who was lost in thought, and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his elder brother didn't have any doubts. If his elder brother asked more questions, he really didn't have the confidence to fool around.As for Xue Sheng's beast, he first remembered this account. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is not too late for a warrior to take revenge for a hundred years.

After returning to Feng's residence, Feng Zhang and Feng Yan concealed the matter tacitly. Feng Yan didn't dare to go out again years ago, for fear of running into Xue Sheng again, but he will have time to rest in the future. But the son came to the door to pass on Murong Qi's words, saying that the morning classes need to continue in the near future.

Feng Yan struggled a little, then put aside his thoughts of eating, drinking and having fun, and got ready wholeheartedly.On the morning of the second day, Feng Yan stood on the martial arts arena wearing a cloak, took a breath of cold air, and realized that he missed such days very much.During the winter solstice, the days started relatively late, and the morning light was faint. Murong Qi came riding on the auspicious snow. The red light shone on his snow-colored cheeks, illuminating his slender black eyes and high nose bridge particularly deeply. Watching him walking towards her, Yan's heart beat wildly uncontrollably.

Murong Qi walked up to him slowly, bowed to him, Feng Yan returned the salute, Murong Qi untied the cloak with one hand, handed it to Fu'er beside him, and said calmly: "Let's begin," as usual.

A little joy filled Feng Yan's heart, and he suddenly wondered whether he should thank him for his help in Biezhuang, and then thought about how he would get over the matter of Murong Qi's secret guards if it was spread out like this, and after much deliberation, Simply keep silent.

After the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Murong Qi really couldn't spare a little time for morning class. The 24th of the twelfth lunar month is already a very important day in Dayan, and the sacrifices in the palace lasted from day to night.Fu'er told Feng Yan beforehand that the morning class ended earlier than usual that morning, and after the end, Fu'er put on a cloak for Murong Qi and stepped aside.Murong Qilue stood still, took out a kit from nowhere, scooped up the sleeve and handed it to Feng Yan, saying indifferently: "Today is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, this is the teacher appreciation ceremony."

Feng Yan thought about his previous life, but he didn't seem to have this one, so he hesitated and took it. The kit was very hard in his hand, and it looked like a piece of jade inside, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "Ah, I forgot to prepare Disciple ceremony."

Murong Qi seemed to have expected him to say this, without raising his eyes, he said calmly, "It's okay, I owe you first." Then he turned and left.

When he was gone, Feng Yan took out the kit and opened it. It was a jade seal with moiré around the bottom, and two words "Huaigui" were engraved in the middle, which was actually his previous life's word.That's right, Feng Yan will be [-] after the new year, which is the age of crowning. He should be bestowed by the elders of the family. The generals of the old Feng family can't be counted on if they don't write well.In the previous life, this word was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor himself, which caused him a lot of gossip. Looking at this seal now, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor personally bestowed it and Murong prayed for it.

Murong Qi's concern for him moved him so rarely, he took the seal and looked at it, touched it again, and finally put it in his arms solemnly, unexpectedly he forgot to be vigilant and alienated all of a sudden.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Yu finally found time to find Feng Yan. Only then did Feng Yan know that Xue Sheng had hurried back to the northern border after that night, and it seemed that he had provoked some important person by making a big show in Biezhuang.

Feng Yan rubbed his chin, thinking that Murong Qi must be behind him.Feeling sore for no reason, after the new year, Murong Qi is only ten years old, such a young child, in an ordinary family, he can't even read a few books, but in the court, he has already planned and schemed against each other.He also owed a disciple gift, what should I give him?
