Wind and Rain Empire

Posthouse entrance

Zhang Tianyu and Li Siqin got off their horses. After hearing the movement outside the house, Li Xiaoliang went out to meet him.

Li Xiaoliang looked at Li Siqin with a smile

"Siqin, how are you doing today?"

Li Siqin walked straight past Li Xiaoliang and walked into the post house

"not so good!"

Zhang Tianyu hastily surrendered to Li Xiaoliang

"The prince doesn't know something. Many things happened today, which made the princess unhappy."

"Really? Then I'll ask her"

"I hope the prince can persuade her well, persuade her not to be angry anymore, and leave now."

Li Xiaoliang hands over

"Thank you for bringing her back."

Zhang Tianyu waved his hand

"Just a little effort"

Li Siqin was sitting in front of the coffee table sullenly, Li Xiaoliang came and sat beside her

"Little sister, who messed with you today?"

Li Siqin got angry and put her head on her hands

"Isn't that Lan Xueyi? Let him be messed up all day today!"

"How do you say this?"

Li Siqin was so excited that he slapped the table

"Brother, how can there be such a man in the world, who is good at gambling, murders his own wife, likes other women, and beats women. It's all the shortcomings rolled into one!"

Li Xiaoliang felt strange and asked

"Who are you talking about?"

Li Siqin pointed outside the house and shouted

"Isn't that Lan Xueyi?"

Li Xiaoliang's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it

"Impossible? Are you talking about General Lan?"

Li Siqin glared at Li Xiaoliang

"Who else is named Lan Xueyi besides him?"

Li Xiaoliang tilted his head

"Didn't you still say he was perfect that day? Why did he become so bad today? From what I know of him, he would never be like this (pause, standing up) He has been a hard-working man since he was a child, lived a simple life, kept Law-abiding man, I'm sure that's not him you're talking about"

Li Siqin gave Li Xiaoliang a blank look

"Then you mean someone hangs out with me in his face?"

"That's even more impossible. The only possibility is that he is pretending. He doesn't want to marry you, so he pretends to be a bad man and asks you to give him up."

Li Siqin feels wronged in every way

"What's wrong with that princess? He doesn't want to marry me so much! Oh, yes! A woman told me today that he has a wife! Then he asked me that no matter what kind of person he is Whether I like him or not, how dare I return him?"

"No matter what kind of person he is? What kind of person can he be?"

"Yeah, I wonder too."

"What then?"

"It's because I don't know what kind of person he is, so I didn't reply to him and went back to find General Zhang."

"What about General Lan?"

"do not know"

Li Xiaoliang sighed

"Little sister, you only look at people on the surface. Brother, let me tell you, General Zhang is more realistic than General Lan. You should think about him."

"he?"

Li Siqin pouted and said disdainfully

"Although he is not bad-looking, but his martial arts are not very good, he is quite polite to people..."

"Okay." Li Xiaoliang interrupted Li Siqin

"His martial arts are already good. If I were you, I would choose him."

Li Siqin squinted at Li Xiaoliang, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth

"Brother, have you taken a fancy to him?"

"don't talk nonsense"

"No nonsense, how about I match you two?"

Li Siqin's teasing tone

"You better worry about your own business"

Li Xiaoliang turned his head and walked back to the room, leaving Li Siqin alone in the living room to worry

"Then... who should I choose?"

Li Siqin thought for a long time

"No, Zhang Tianyu caused my princess to be surrounded by passers-by, and said that my princess has a brain problem, so I can't choose him!"

She opened the window, picked a flower from the grass outside the house, and peeled off the petals one by one.

"I like General Lan, I don't like General Lan... I like it, I don't like it... I don't like it, I like it"

Li Siqin threw the flower stem aside in frustration

"As expected, I still like him... hey!"

In the General Lan's Mansion at night, Wang Ma has already fallen asleep

Lan Xueyi was carrying a bottle of wine and a wine glass, sitting on the porch of the courtyard room, while looking at the new moon in the sky, he poured the wine himself and drank it down

"Being pursued by others is not something I hate, but why is it so hard to be entangled?"

Thinking of this, Lan Xueyi even admired Li Siqin's perseverance

"But you don't like me as a woman, do you?"

Lan Xueyi was thinking to herself, staring blankly at the new moon, trying to relax

"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

One night, one month, one person, one shadow

Ziyun Pavilion

Zi Linglong was wearing pajamas leaning on the balcony railing of the bedroom and drinking tea, her eyes were also looking at the same moon, and the emperor who was also in pajamas came to hug her

"Linglong, why are you up so late?"

"Officials, the ministers and concubines suddenly dreamed of a martial arts competition that day, so they couldn't fall asleep after waking up from the dream."

"I think you have something else on your mind"

The emperor scratched Zi Linglong's nose, and his tone changed

"Since you're all awake, I'll go back to the palace, and leave you here alone to think about your thoughts."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding"

Zi Linglong smiled lightly, changed clothes for the emperor, and after sending the emperor away, she moved a stool and sat on the balcony, drinking tea slowly

Hong Wan walked over quietly and asked softly

"Ma'am, the official family is gone?"

"Well, yes, I don't want to accompany him tonight."

"My lady..."

"Come and sit on a stool, too."

"Slaves dare not"

"come over"

Hong Wan had no choice but to move a stool and sit there, seeing the faint moonlight shining on Zi Linglong's face, revealing a cold beauty

Zi Linglong held Hong Wan's hand, Hong Wan only felt that the hand was cold, so she hurriedly asked

"Niang Niang, your hands are so cold, don't blow the air here."

Zi Linglong shook her head

"Compared to my heart, this wind is nothing"

After saying that, she shed two lines of tears and shed tears on her face

"Mother, why are you crying?"

Hong Wan looked at Zi Linglong in confusion, reached out and took out a handkerchief to wipe Zi Linglong off, but was stopped by Zi Linglong

"I just have something on my mind for a while, just vent it, you don't have to worry about me"

Hong Wan had no choice but to obey, and didn't know what to do, so she continued to hold Zi Linglong's hand and sat there blankly.

After a while, Zi Linglong wiped away her tears and said to Hong Wan in a nasal voice

"Go find a cloth that can cover your face"

"Hide your face?"

Hong Wan was stunned.

"Well, go find it"

Hong Wan didn't know why, so she had to get up to find the cloth, and after searching, she only found a piece of red yarn

"Ma'am, can you see this?"

"Okay, blindfold me."

"Blindfolded?"

Hong Wan was still at a loss, so she had to follow suit, and then asked a question

"My lady, what are you going to do?"

"No matter what happens next, you can't tell anyone, you know?"

"The servant knows"

Hong Wan said yes but thought in her heart

"What can happen..."

To her surprise, Zi Linglong touched her face with both hands, and the blindfolded face got closer and closer to her until the four lips touched together

"Umm..."

Hong Wan's eyes widened in disbelief, and the warmth on her lips left after a while.

Watching Zi Linglong undo the blindfold, she doesn't know why Zi Linglong did this

"My lady..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zi Linglong looked at Hong Wan with joy as if she was a different person.

Hong Wan hesitates to speak

"nothing……"

Dali Temple Trial Hall during the day

The emperor sat on the chair in the hall, Li Chunyou, the king of Xixia, and Li Pinliang, the prince, sat on the left side of the emperor, and the minister of Dali Temple sat on the right side of the emperor

Kneeling in the center of the hall are two assassins from the Kingdom of Jin who were captured in the martial arts arena

"Why did you two come to our Song Dynasty to assassinate me?"

The two assassins looked at each other, silent

Li Chunyou is impatient

"Your Majesty, it seems that these two assassins will not be recruited without the death penalty."

emperor raised his hand

"Hey, King Xia doesn't know something. The questioning by capital punishment may not be the truth. They can lie. Come here, give them some delicious food."

Come on the guards, four people grabbed the two of them, and the other poured the wine from the wine glass down for them, the two assassins struggled desperately

Li Xiaoliang looked at the wine glass and asked

"Dare to ask the emperor, what are you feeding them?"

"This is called Yin-Yang Seizing Soul Wine. It was invented by my imperial physicians. Its effect is that after drinking it, the blood will flow backwards. People will feel cold and hot, and it lasts for a long time, but it is not fatal. This wine has an antidote. , but only if they are willing to tell the truth, I will give them medicine."

The three people at the table waited for a while, and saw that one of the assassins was shivering with cold, while the other had soybean-sized sweat on his forehead.

Assassin 1 ran out of snot and hurriedly begged for mercy

"Emperor, small, small move, it's too cold"

Assassin 2 scolds Assassin 1

"You traitor, you actually want to recruit!"

"King Zheng regards us as pawns, discarded after use, I don't want to work for him anymore"

"you!"

Assassin 2 was so hot that he couldn't breathe

Assassin 1

"It was King Zheng who sent us to assassinate King Xia and you, Emperor"

The emperor was a little skeptical, thinking carefully

"King Zheng? Who is your King of Jin?"

"He is the uncle of our King of Jin. He ordered us to assassinate you in order to seize the ruling power of the Kingdom of Jin. Once there is a gap between Song and Xia and no longer cooperate, the Kingdom of Jin will kill two birds with one stone. During this time, our Lord It is inevitable that the imperial conquest will provide him with an opportunity."

Li Chunyou stared at the two

"I didn't expect King Zheng of Jin Kingdom to be so smart and play such a big game of chess."

The emperor smiled and looked at the assassin

"It's not easy for you, a little assassin, to know the whole plan of King Zheng. Give him the antidote."

Enter the guard, put the pill into Assassin 1's mouth, and Assassin 1 swallows it

Assassin 2 turned from fever to cold, all the sweat turned into ice slags hanging on the face, and the teeth began to chatter

The Emperor looks at Assassin 2

"Why, aren't you telling the truth?"

Assassin 2 pointing at Assassin 1

"This traitor has finished talking, and I have nothing to say."

the emperor laughed

"Hahaha, okay, give him the antidote too."

Come on guard, feed Assassin 2 an antidote, Assassin 2 fell to the ground after taking the antidote, and the icicles all over his body began to dissolve

Li Chunyou slightly adjusted his sitting posture at this moment

"Emperor, now that we know King Zheng's plan, how should we deal with these two people?"

The emperor smiled and shook his head

"do not process"

Li Xiaoliang hands over

"Your Majesty, if the people of the Kingdom of Jin don't know about these two people, then sooner or later the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin will be killed by the scheming King Zheng, and then he will become another enemy that is difficult to deal with."

"So, it's time for us to let King Zheng withdraw from history forever (to the eunuch). Come on, write a letter to the King of the Kingdom of Jin, saying that I will give him a big gift, and then send the two of them together." Let the envoys send them back to the Kingdom of Jin, and see how the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin will deal with these two people."

The guards clasped their hands, loudly

"According to the order!"

Li Chunyou also arched his hands, his eyes full of reverence

"The emperor is really wise"

The two assassins were dragged out of the trial hall by the guards
