Phoenix and Dragon

The cold dew is born on the autumn night in the capital, and the silk, bamboo, gongs and drums that come from a long way away make the air appear light and thin.

Li Mingyuan gathered up his skirts, watching Qin Feng's long clothes fluttering in the autumn wind with his graceful footsteps, unaware of the coldness of the night.

Li Mingyuan knew that this was not a good time to talk, and what was waiting ahead must be a good show that could not be missed for a moment.

Li Mingyuan was forced to hide his clumsiness since childhood, but hiding clumsiness is not true clumsiness after all.Under the teaching of Prince Su for more than [-] years, he has become a very distorted talent, but this talent is too hidden, few people can see it.He has always been able to divide his description into two halves, the half is calm and the other is crazy, showing a certain demeanor at a specific time, quite a sense of both sides.

He has always been good at this point, but ever since he met Qin Feng, he has been unable to hold back.

"stop."

Qin Feng stopped at his feet, paused, and turned back to that alluring face with a smile.

"What is the order of the son?"

Li Mingyuan's face was solemn, with a deliberate indifference in his attitude: "In the past, when the first emperor, the nine sons took over the heir apparent, rumors spread wildly, and the unofficial history was mixed. My father was lucky enough to be one of them. He was still young, stubbornly ignorant of the world, yet he got involved in such a big mess. He didn't want to, but there was no way, the nine sons of the late emperor, but he had the same mother as the present, and he had no way of avoiding it. Can be avoided."

Qin Feng said nothing.

But Li Mingyuan knew that he could clearly understand.

"In the past, it was inevitable, and now it is even more impossible to avoid, but I don't know who refused to let me stay away from the Prince's Mansion."

Qin Feng unhurriedly brushed his long hair flying freely, elegantly and independently in the night, as thick as spring clouds and light as smoke, ethereal as a pair of indifferent ink.

What he said was not like his usual beautiful style, he just said: "My son is thinking too much."

The coldness between Li Mingyuan's brows became even more serious: "I don't think too much, and no matter how much I think, I won't be allowed to think about it. However, every brick in the palace has an old father on top and a younger brother on the bottom, and I can't avoid it." burden."

Qin Feng's smile faded a little, and he stood silently for a short while, then sighed lightly, and said lightly: "What does my son want to know?"

Li Mingyuan finally waited for this sentence, and he was not polite: "Who are you from?"

Qin Feng pursed his lips indifferently, but refused to answer directly: "Master, a man's country is a home, whose country is his home, what's the difference? Look at the world or be unparalleled in the country, hesitant or make a choice, there is no obstacle in your heart." it is this?"

Li Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment, as if the cold rain was pouring down on his head, the cold was penetrating to the bones, but it was dripping clearly.

But when Qin Feng said this sentence, the stone blue brocade robe happened to be blown away by the wind.

Qin Feng has never been an actor. Although he is indeed outstanding in his opera and singing, he is not like that. He plays every role in a good play, but he can't play himself as an actor.

He lowered his head and tightened his clothes. At that moment, Li Mingyuan only flashed four words in his mind.

White dragon fish suit.

With the right wind and the right daze, Qin Feng took advantage of this loophole.

He stopped talking and said no more, and urged: "Please come with me, son, it will be too late."

Li Mingyuan stared at him for a moment, and was defeated again.

It's really bad for a man to be impatient, no matter before or after.

But he was unwilling to do so, but he had to admit that he had chosen the wrong time.

The future is long, and there will always be a time... probably.

Qin Feng took Li Mingyuan with him, and walked around in a familiar way. He walked around the royal courtyard like his own back garden.

Li Mingyuan is a dignified son of a prince. Even if his father and the emperor have quarreled with the emperor to the age of seventy or eighty, he is a blood brother after all. The bones are broken and the tendons are connected. There were banquets held in the garden, family banquets, private banquets and state banquets, and Prince Su and his son were never left behind.Li Mingyuan thought he came and went frequently in Xiyuan, but he couldn't compare to Qin Feng's freedom of coming and going.

If Qin Feng is a close minister of the royal family or a close relative of the emperor, this is easy to explain.

But what if he is not?

This is just the yard where the emperor usually comes to hang out and listen to operas. If he is so clear in the palace, wouldn't the emperor be woken up in the middle of the night?

How creepy.

Li Mingyuan's head problem turned into a very unbelievable gloating at this moment. Does his uncle who is the emperor know that there is such a talent in Beijing?Has he really been sitting so calmly and securely after he has sacrificed his siblings and guarded against his blood relatives?

Li Mingyuan followed Qin Feng through the winding and secluded path, avoiding a crowd of imperial guards with agility.

Qin Feng walked softly and slowly in the dark and narrow corridor, without a single sound.

I don't know what is being said in the theater building, I don't know which censor finally lost his temper, and the cadence of citing scriptures and scriptures, if the vigor of the voice and expression is used to educate the younger generations, I am afraid that he would have cried for a long time, but this In the eyes of the savages, there is no use for eggs, and the cowhide is blown and drunk, and it is true that the classics of the old pedant are farting.

Receiving the barbarians is really hard work for the pillars of the Manchu dynasty.

Li Mingyuan reckoned that the adult must have blown his beard and stared angrily.

————————————————————————————————————————

Qin Feng took a few steps forward, finally stopped, and waved his hand, signaling Li Mingyuan to stay here.

This is a dead corner, with only a dark secret door left. The window paper pasted on it has been painted with the same color of wood paint as the door frame. At first glance, it is impossible to tell whether it is a door or a corridor, and most passers-by will pass by without paying attention. In the past, you can't find it at all.

Qin Feng randomly pulled out a wooden branch, and with force, the lacquered window paper opened in response, and with the afterglow of the bright enough light on the stage, he would be able to see clearly the inside of the door.

The place connected to the door is a corner of the opera building. All civil and military officials are looking at the stage, and many eyes are wide open staring at the barbarian with evil intentions. A group of unruly things tied up.

Normally no one pays attention here at all.

Obviously Boss Qin is not an ordinary person.

This place where birds don't lay eggs actually made him wait for a barbarian.

Li Mingyuan held his breath at the place separated by the door, and after a closer look, he found that he could recognize the barbarian who came.

The barbarians look at all the people in the Central Plains in the same way. People in the Central Plains have higher eyes than the top and pretend to be noble, and they are even more blind when looking at the barbarians. However, this barbarian is actually a little more "handsome" than ordinary barbarians. It was Qin Feng who pointed it out to Li Mingyuan just now. The one I looked at was said to be an Erdemu map with Han Chinese ancestry.

These two savages obviously came here to avoid people's eyes and ears.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Mingyuan realized that this group of savages were not as stupid as what his father described—there was a flamboyant one outside to attract attention, and there was an unobtrusive one behind who was plotting news here, making a lot of noise. Isn't one trick working well?

But what are they conveying?

Li Mingyuan frowned thoughtfully in this dark corner when he thought of Xiaohualian just now and the letter intercepted by Qin Feng.

Before Li Mingyuan could think of anything, on the other side separated by the window paper, two barbarians spoke first.

Li Mingyuan erected his ears and listened hard for a while, feeling like he was listening to the humming of animals.

Prince Su's son had never felt that he was so ignorant, unable to speak at critical moments, and didn't hear anything important, only listening to the babble.

Li Mingyuan sighed silently and aggrieved, and turned around, only to see Qin Feng looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, the water in his peach blossom eyes was full of helplessness and playfulness.

Li Mingyuan: "..."

It's useless to say a thousand words and ten thousand at this moment, not to mention that the barbarians are just a piece of paper away. The son of the world can't make a sound if he wants to say anything, but he is really anxious, so he gestures to Qin Feng calmly: "Listen! understand?"

Qin Feng's understanding ability in this aspect is extraordinary and refined, and he immediately understood what the son of the world meant, and shook his head accordingly.

Li Mingyuan immediately widened his eyes.

You don't understand what kind of wall you're pulling me here to listen to?

Qin Feng decisively rolled his eyes and showed him.

Li Mingyuan: "..."

If it weren't for the fact that this place is not suitable for fighting, Shizi might have exploded into a firecracker out of thin air.

Qin Feng was sure that he couldn't make a sound and felt aggrieved, so he called him, smiled confidently and silently, and when Li Mingyuan's explosive temper was on the verge of explosion, he raised his hand silently, signaling him to stay calm.

Li Mingyuan stared at him, vowing not to give up without a quick explanation.

Qin Feng hooked the corners of his lips, shrugged his shoulders indiscriminately, and gestured mockingly: "You forgot? The news to him was replaced by me?"

As soon as he made the gesture, Li Mingyuan had just grasped the meaning, and before he had time to react, the barbarian suddenly stopped his "exotic" chatter from behind him.

The two people who were doing sneaky things in the dark corner behind the door immediately fell silent at the same time, not even daring to make the slightest sound of breathing.

"Huh?" Erdemutu on the other side of the door suddenly said, his Chinese is more fluent than other barbarians, but still has some jerkyness caused by infrequent use, "Here... what is it?"

As he said, he stretched out his hand to caress the hole that was just opened by Qin Feng.

Qin Fengtaohua's eyes were bright and clear, and he quickly pulled Li Mingyuan away from what he could see through the gap.

Erdemutu was obviously groping for something on the other side, and tried to push hard, but the door was locked from the outside, and he didn't push it open.

He seemed to be pushing again, Qin Feng even heard the sound of his hand on the wooden frame to test his strength, but heard another voice suddenly sounded inside.

"My lord." This was obviously another barbarian, "It's time."

The people inside hesitated for a while, and after a while, footsteps sounded over there.

Li Mingyuan heaved a sigh of relief, leaned against the door to relax, and found that Qin Feng was still holding his sleeves, startled, and pulled them back viciously.

Qin Feng was empty-handed, tilted his head indifferently, stood up neatly, and leaned against the door frame to listen.

Li Mingyuan stood beside him with arms folded, and only said with his lips: "You have done everything you can, what exactly do you want?"

Qin Feng smiled, and also replied with his lips: "Peel off the cocoon, and lead the snake out of the hole."

Li Mingyuan frowned: "Then why bring me?"

Qin Feng smiled without saying a word.

Li Mingyuan followed Qin Feng back and forth several times, and finally understood what Qin Feng's so-called "big drama" would be like.

It has long been a fact that there are barbarians in the Zhengyi Temple. For many years, this group of secret agents have spread the news of the court to the outside, and even have a tendency to become bigger. The inside should cooperate with the outside, and they can influence the court situation in the dark.

A major corruption case occurred in Beijing a few years ago. The government and the public were shocked, and the emperor was furious. The case involved a lot, from the empress's natal family to the officials of Fengjiang, and bloodbathed all officials, big and small.

It is said that such a thing is not together anymore.

There were many rumors in the market, but only after Li Mingyuan sent someone to investigate secretly, did he know that this matter was first said to have been leaked from a theater in the west of Beijing.

It is self-evident which theater he is talking about.

Li Mingyuan pursued the barbarian affairs of the past, and had accidentally discovered the clues of the Zhengyi Temple long ago, but he had never investigated the inside deeply. He just wanted to open up areas that had not been involved before. After sorting out the ins and outs behind these incidents, Sun Jue's death lawsuit that almost involved Prince Su's residence happened.

This is also a blessing in disguise.If those people showed their traces, if they dragged them over without revealing the mountain, Li Mingyuan would not have concluded that there was a problem with him, but they were too aggressive and too hasty, so they fell into the trap.Not only that, what they tried so hard to hide, whether it was the forged letter card or the fact that the barbarian was fornicating, was ready to be revealed-the timing of the barbarian's arrival was too good or too bad, so it's not their fault that they were in a hurry.

It was at this time that Li Mingyuan suddenly met Qin Feng.

There is cause and effect, there is cause and effect, there has never been, but it is a coincidence.

In this matter, some people deliberately framed it, some watched it coldly, and some were suspicious.Those behind-the-scenes instigation, those long-planned dark calculations, and those seemingly unintentional but deliberate step-by-step actions have involuntarily drawn everyone into an inescapable chasm. No one wants to get out of the whole body.

A barbarian with sinister intentions, a spy who cooperates with the outside world, and the token in his hand that can't tell whether it can be a treasure or a reminder...

Li Mingyuan was just pretending to be stupid, not really stupid. After thinking about it in series, he had already guessed seven or eight points.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes darkened: "You led me into the game, is it because of suspicion or temptation? The barbarians are going to make a move, aren't they?"

When Qin Feng was suddenly asked by Li Mingyuan, he didn't feel the embarrassment of being exposed at all. His dazed expression and smile were connected almost instantly, making Li Mingyuan almost think that he was dazzled.

"Between the mountains and rivers, brothers' grievances, and the changes in the situation, the unpredictable people's hearts are the finale of the drama." Qin Feng replied, "My son has always been a part of the drama, and has never been outside the drama."
