Murong paper on the snow mountain

On the carriages and horses heading to Maple Leaf Villa, Xie Lv was extremely nervous all the way, and would take a look at Murong Zhi's hand every few moments to see if there was any sign of turning blue or purple.

"you are annoying?"

"...I'm worried about you."

Murong Zhi said coldly: "You don't need to pretend to be kind!"

"Ah Zhi," Xie Lu Xingxing watched as he forced him to change into a light purple brocade robe and moon white blouse, with sapphire hanging around his waist, after all, he finally looked a little more alive than usual Murong Paper: "You look so good dressed like this today."

Murong Zhi ignored him, and when the carriage bumped against a rock, Xie Lv followed the momentum and hugged him. The passers-by couldn't help turning their heads back frequently because of the playful laughter.

"General Zhenyuan."

Ye Pu, who was driving in front of the carriage, looked back and sighed: "It's better not to play around in the carriage, it's not good to accidentally startle the horse."

"Little apprentice~ When you arrive at Maple Leaf Villa, don't call me 'General Zhenyuan' anymore. Be careful that others will hear you and make people laugh."

"Oh?" A Li, who was riding a horse, happened to hear this sentence: "Could it be that the general himself is afraid that people will see his unseemly true face, and he will not be guaranteed if he celebrates the late festival?"

Actually... that's true.

Compared with the real self, Xie Lu naturally prefers the image of the tall and complete "General Zhenyuan" that is circulated in the mouths of storytellers and the hearts of the general public.

After all, no matter what the facts are, who would not want to be crowned with the reputation of "beautiful, brave, literary, military, and graceful, in short, a loyal minister and famous general who meets once in a thousand years" after death?

But to tell the truth, how embarrassing it is, so Xie Lv coughed in a pretentious way.

"Maple Leaf Villa is located in Luojing City. Luojing City is the eastern capital of the Great Xia, and it is governed by the eldest son of the emperor, King Cheng. When I was a general in the court, I never got along with King Cheng. He tried to kill me many times. Now Although I have already returned the tiger talisman and left the court to go back to seclusion, after all, this time I am on Chengwang's territory. If I am recognized by Chengwang's minions, I am afraid that I will inevitably be settled by him after autumn. As for myself, it doesn't matter, but it will hurt you. Not good."

"The general's enemies in the court don't have this, there must be a lot of others." A Li said.

Although Ye Pu in front of the carriage didn't make a sound, he nodded silently with an expression of approval.

"You two!" Two little bastards!

"I...have been living on the snow-capped mountains for a long time, and I don't know much about the courts and rivers and lakes. Although I often read the stories about princes and generals in the collection, I am still confused after all."

Xie Lv was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly he came to Murong Zhihui to answer the conversation, so he heard the person continue to ask: "You said just now that Luojing City is under the jurisdiction of the 'Emperor's Eldest Son'. If the 'Emperor's Eldest Son' is, could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Is he the future emperor?"

"Ah... well," Xie Lv hurriedly replied, "I hope it's not the case, the world will be finished if it is handed over to King Cheng!"

"Shouldn't the eldest son of the emperor be the crown prince? Why isn't this Cheng Wang?" Murong Zhi asked again with a puzzled expression: "And why is it all over?"

"Hey! It is true that the eldest son of the emperor belongs to the prince, but you don't know it, A Zhi! That man Cheng Wang is not good at all~ He is insidious, surly and domineering, and even the palace is troubled by him all day long. Think about it, if a mere palace can't be managed well, how can there be such a person who is so generous and benevolent and can win the world? How can the emperor rest assured that the great rivers and mountains will be handed over to him?"

"If it weren't for his small nature, the emperor would not have been hesitant about the matter of establishing a crown prince. After all, Cheng Wang was born successively, and he is the eldest son. It stands to reason that he should do his part to inherit the throne. But if he himself is a little With a little bit of fighting spirit, he must be the crown prince, but whoever told him not to live up to expectations, will come to the point where all the princes have a chance now."

"There is a chance? That is to say... is it that the imperial prince is taking over the heir apparent as it is written in the book?"

"Isn't it! Azhi, look, let me tell you." Just as there were four big tassels hanging on the curtain of their carriage, Xie Lu pointed to them and said, "The current emperor has four sons in total. .But the second prince, King Liang, was born to a maid, and the fourth prince, King Ying, is still young, so they probably have nothing to hope for."

As he spoke, he plucked off the second and fourth tassels, and pointed to the remaining two: "Now those who have the opportunity to compete for the throne, one is the eldest prince who just said becomes king, and the other is It is the third prince Ning Wang who has been living in the capital."

"The third prince, King Ning, has the opposite temperament of King Cheng. He is both good-looking and talented. In addition, his mother and concubine are deeply favored by the emperor. In recent years, he has a tendency to compete with King Cheng. To tell you the truth, A Zhi , when I was in the court, I worked under the command of the third prince, King Ning, so King Cheng's party members regarded me as a thorn in their side, and they always wanted to get rid of me quickly."

"Back then in Beijing, King Cheng tried to frame me time and time again, but in the end he threw stones at his feet. You don't know, Azhi, that people say that the nine sons of the dragon are different. This is really true! They all belong to the emperor. Son, King Ning and King Ying are both born with extraordinary talents, and King Liang is also easy-going and meek, only the King Cheng can't say anything, and he is stupid and jumping around all day long, which makes people look down on him!"

"A dignified eldest prince, apart from being a nuisance to us officials all day long, he likes to have nothing to do to bully the King Liang who has no backing; when he drove into the palace with King Ning, he insisted on putting his own The chariot was refitted to be made by the emperor, and the road in the middle was forcibly occupied, making the emperor so angry that his beard cocked up!"

"Compared to this, although His Highness Ning Wang is younger, he is courteous and courteous to become a king in every way on weekdays, not to mention that His Highness Ning's poems and prose can be said to be the best in the world! Well, I don’t know if Ah Zhi has heard of being famous all over the world. "Tang Zao Fu"? Oh, that's right! You must have heard "Treading Flowers"! I remember that when you took me to the night market to watch the lights, a group of boat girls by the river sang it. Tell me it's nice!"

Murong Zhi thought about it, and it seemed that there was such a thing.

I remember that year when lanterns were put on the lake, in the middle of the night it was as if the bright moon had been shattered on the lake, and the sparkling light scattered in one of the pools. The painted boats with lanterns passed by, and the singers on it sang a love song describing the lingering story of the life and death of the emperor and his concubine. , the mournful sound curled up, lingering endlessly.

"Everyone says that His Royal Highness King Ning wrote that poem when he was nine years old! I couldn't read at the age of nine, but he wrote a long poem that has been sung to this day! Also, five years ago we fought against Yuanliao. At that time, King Ning also spewed out an eloquent article, which made the opponent's coach vomit blood and fell off his horse to death, that article is still a model for the speech officials to follow when writing references, and it can be said to be a master of cursing without blinking an eye."

Murong Zhi covered her mouth with one hand and seemed to laugh: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true! I was at the front of the battle, and I saw that old man spurting blood with his own eyes. Do you know? The old man's blood was more than two feet high, which is spectacular!" On the spot!)

"In this way, if there is such an article... I really want to read it."

"There is one in the city! There must be one in the city of Luojing! I will take you to buy it at that time! King Ning's collection of poems, collection of words, and the book of appeals to thieves are all so expensive to copy in the capital! King Ning has a new work, and even asking a writer to copy it is three cents more expensive than usual..."

When Xie Lv said this, seeing Murong Zhi holding his chin, he seemed to be quite interested in listening, and asked him cautiously: "Ah Zhi, you... don't you hate hearing me talk about the old things in the capital?"

"Why do you hate it?" Murong Zhi was puzzled.

"I thought...you wouldn't want to hear what happened to me after I went out." So, I never dared to tell you more.

Murong Zhi was stunned, his lowered eyes seemed a little lonely: "I have lived in the mountains for a long time, and I have never heard any stories. Although I heard that Xuegong has a lot of books, the stories in the books are flat and short, not as good as what you just said. It’s as interesting as it is. After all, it’s better if you can talk more about it than… just talking nonsense all day long.”

Xie Lv breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took Murong Zhi with both hands and smiled, "If you like to hear it, how about I often tell you outside stories? Ah Zhi, you don't know! I have had many adventures outside these years! The Devil’s Cave in the sand dunes I met in the desert, the man-eating fish I met in the southern border, and there are still..."

Murong Zhi silently removed his thief's hand.In front of the carriage, Ye Meiren turned her head and said quietly:

"That's great. It just so happens that Ye Pu hasn't seen much in the world, and I'd like to hear some more stories from General Zhenyuan."

"Oh? What do you want to hear?" The naive General Zhenyuan asked hurriedly.

"I heard that General Zhenyuan...was Princess Anli's son-in-law back then. To be able to hold a golden branch and jade leaves is the highest honor for a man in the world, right? Why don't you ask General Zhenyuan to tell us something about the princess?"

Brat!

Xie Luxin said that the little love rival had no good intentions in asking questions!He really underestimated this Ye Pu!Normally taciturn and obedient, how could he play tricks on me when he saw the right opportunity?

"Actually, there is really no story between me and Your Highness the Princess. Back then, Her Highness and I were just... a nominal couple. Why don't I tell you about the anecdotes about my wars in the South and the North?"

As Xie Lv said this, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Murong Zhi with a guilty conscience.But seeing that Murong Zhi didn't look at him, his face was expressionless as if he didn't hear anything.
