Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

Dongshan Town is a little-known small town. There is a low mountain outside the town. Because it is located in the east of the town, it is called Dongshan by people, and the name of Dongshan Town comes from this.Dongshan Town is not big, there is only one main street, and there are dozens of shops of all kinds on the street. The town was extremely lively, and the streets were blocked by crowds coming from all directions.

Zuixianlou is the most famous restaurant in Dongshan Town. In the private room facing the street on the second floor, Wei Chongrong looked sad at the dazzling array of dishes in front of him.

Wei Chongrong has always felt that he is not a picky eater, he eats what he has, is never picky, and feeds very well.Now that he arrived in Dongshan Town, he realized that his previous cognition was wrong. It turned out that there was still food in this world that he couldn't bear.

People in Yizhou are addicted to spicy food, Wei Chongrong has heard about it for a long time, but he doesn't pay much attention to it.After all, there are restaurants opened by Yizhou people in Yujing. He tried it, and although he didn't like it very much, it was acceptable.This time, in order to track down Wei Mao, who had run away from Li Shu and whose whereabouts were unknown, he went all the way south and chased him to Honghe County, the southernmost part of Yizhou.Then, Wei Chongrong discovered the fact that the so-called Yizhou cuisine he ate in Yujing was not the real Yizhou cuisine at all, because the dishes made by the local people in Yizhou were so spicy Can't eat it.

Before coming to Dongshan Town, Wei Chongrong stopped all the way in the county towns, no matter how bad it was, it was the county towns. As long as he explained to the store that there is no spicy food in the dishes, he can always eat food that can be eaten. At most, the taste is weird , at least it won't make people hungry.

According to the spies' reports, the last place Wei Mao showed up was Dongshan Town. Wei Chongrong rushed over without saying a word after hearing the news.It's a pity that Wei Mao appeared in Dongshan Town three days ago, Wei Chongrong came a step late, and there were no clues.

Wei Chongrong originally planned to have lunch in the town and continue to inquire about Wei Mao's news, but unexpectedly the boss of Zuixianlou wanted to make things difficult for him.He clearly said that he didn't want spicy food, but every dish served by the waiter in the shop was so spicy that people couldn't eat it with chopsticks.

Wei Chongrong couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap": "Xiaodongzi, call me the boss."

The guard sitting next to Wei Chongrong put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said aggrievedly: "Master, my subordinate's surname is Dongfang, not Xiaodongzi."

"Are you going?" Wei Chongrong glared at him angrily, "Also, when you're outside, don't yell casually, be careful that the walls have ears."

Dongfang didn't speak, his eyes rolled around, he got up and went out, just by looking at his steps, he could tell he was a top expert.

Not long after, the boss of Zuixian Tower followed Dongfang upstairs, and said politely after entering the door: "My lord, what else do you want?"

Wei Chongrong looked up at him, his eyes were very unfriendly: "Didn't I say? Don't put spicy peppers in the dishes, did you not hear or something? Every dish is extremely spicy..." It made him very unhappy. In a good mood, now I am even more unhappy.

After hearing Wei Chongrong's complaint, the boss looked innocent and said blankly: "Young master, our Zuixianlou has always put customers first. If you say no to spicy peppers, we will definitely not. Our spicy peppers are authentic. Ten cents and one tael, it will never be wasted."

"What did you say? These dishes don't contain spicy peppers?" Dongfang jumped up before Wei Chongrong could speak.

Although he is not as spicy as Wei Chongrong, who is too spicy to eat with chopsticks, he still feels that these dishes are very spicy and very enjoyable to eat, but the boss actually told him that there is no spicy food in the dishes, so the spicy taste is too spicy. Where did it come from...

The boss thought for a while, and asked cautiously: "Both young masters, are you both from other places?" Wei Chongrong nodded silently, without denying it.Although the search for Wei Mao was kept secret, he and Dongfang looked like they were not locals.

The boss nodded knowingly: "No wonder that's the case. Three days ago, there was a son who did the same thing. He said that we put spicy peppers in the dishes that we didn't put spicy peppers in. In the end, he left without paying for the meal. Fortunately, when he asked for directions, I didn't ask for it. Show him the way carefully."

three days ago? !Wei Chongrong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Boss, what does that son look like? Where did he go?"

The boss kept silent, took two steps back vigilantly, and looked up and down Wei Chongrong and Dongfang with scrutiny.

Wei Chongrong blinked, and immediately put on a gentle smile: "Boss, we are not bad people. I went out to find my younger brother. My younger brother has reached the age of marriage this year, and the family has chosen a wife for him." , but he didn't like it, and refused to marry. And the girl he had a crush on, her family background was a bit low, and she didn't match up with our family... ahem, she was a bit unsuitable, so he ran away from home in a fit of anger. My younger brother He is the youngest child in the family, and he has never traveled far alone. When he left, all the elders in the family panicked..."

Seeing that Wei Chongrong's words were sincere and well-founded, the boss put away his original wary eyes.Indeed, whether it's the young man in front of him or the one three days ago, just by looking at his clothes and demeanor, he can tell that he is not from an ordinary family. Such a reason is completely justified.

Wei Chongrong saw that there was a door, and continued his efforts: "My brother went out, and my grandmother fell ill in a hurry. My father was so anxious that he sent me out to find someone. He said that as long as my brother is willing to come back with me, he wants to marry me. Whoever is a wife, the family has no objection."

The boss was obviously moved by the story of "lover gets married", and immediately said: "The young man is about seventeen or eighteen years old, he is shorter than you, about the height of your eyebrows, and he is fairer than you." , the nose and mouth are a bit like yours, and the eyes..."

"The eyes are slender and slender, not like mine at all, right?" Hearing this, Wei Chongrong was sure that the person was Wei Mao.

The boss slapped hard, and said excitedly: "Yes, that's it, that's right." Before Wei Chongrong asked him where Wei Mao went, he immediately said anxiously: "It's over, let me ask you, brother. It’s the way to South Vietnam. It’s been three days, and he might have already crossed the border.”

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as there is news, thank you." After finishing speaking, Wei Chongrong gestured to Dongfang with his eyes.

Dongfang took out a piece of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the boss, it was more than enough to settle the accounts between them and Wei Mao.The boss accepted the money and said politely: "You two young masters, wait a moment, I will ask them to bring out a new unused pot and cook some dishes for you again."

Wei Chongrong waved his hand and said, "No, no, you can get us some rice and bring us a plate of soy sauce."

The boss took the order to leave, and Wei Chongrong sighed quietly: "I hope he really went to South Vietnam, instead of playing tricks."

Dongfang was panting hotly, and asked while panting: "Third... it's not surprising that the young master went to South Vietnam, the young lady married there."

Wei Chongrong picked up the chopsticks, knocked Dongfang on the head and said, "You don't believe me if you say you are stupid. Why did the third brother run away from home? He just didn't want to be found. He went to Nanyue to find his sister, not waiting for his brother-in-law to send him back. Is it? If it were me, I would definitely not go to South Vietnam."

Dongfang was in pain, but he couldn't refute, so he could only wrinkle his nose, grasping at Wei Chongrong's poor language and said, "Obviously you are the younger brother..."

As he was talking, the waiter in the shop brought new food. Wei Chongrong tasted it, and the spiciness was still a little bit, but it was within his acceptable range, so he asked the waiter to withdraw the original food. He and Dongfang The two devoted themselves to offering sacrifices to the temple of the five internal organs.

After eating and drinking enough, Wei Chongrong and Dongfang left the town and came to the foot of Dongshan Mountain.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wei Chongrong couldn't help but tapped Dongfang's forehead again: "I'm standing with the third brother. If I say I'm a younger brother, no one will believe me. Besides, the third prince left the palace. What a big deal this is, and if everyone knows about it, there will definitely be problems."

Dongfang rubbed his forehead, and complained: "You still said it was a secret, but you have explained everything to the point."

Wei Chongrong glared at him, and said helplessly: "If it wasn't for Xianhan's inappropriateness to intervene in this matter, I would never bring you out to poison my ears." After he finished speaking, he lifted his legs and walked up the mountain. Dongfang dared not say more , followed him up the mountain step by step.

Speaking of the reason why Wei Mao ran away from home, Wei Chongrong was speechless. If he found Wei Mao, he would definitely beat him up.

The successive emperors of Dayan had no shortage of dedicated people, but like Emperor Yingzong, he only loved Empress Xiaosi in his life. Before Wei Ming, there was no second case.Generally speaking, as long as the emperor has a son, he only favors the middle palace and does not accept concubines, and the courtiers will not have any objections.

Wei Ming's harem is only the queen Jun Feili, which is much quieter than the previous emperor's time.Fortunately, the princes have grown up one after another, got married and had children one after another, adding a lot of vitality to the huge palace.Crown Princess Xie Xiang was married to Crown Prince Wei Xuan when he was still the King of Linzi. The two have been married for more than ten years, and their love has never diminished. The only regret is that the Crown Princess gave birth to three daughters in succession, and the Prince has no children.Zhao Wang Weilan was married four years ago in Tai'an. The princess is Shangguancha, the eldest daughter of Shangguanxuan, Duke of Yue. The two already have a son.

The two elder brothers are both married, so naturally it will be Wei Mao's turn next.Wei Ming and Jun Feili are not stubborn and unreasonable people, and they didn't designate a candidate for the princess for their youngest son, saying that they let him choose by himself, as long as it is a girl from an aristocratic family, he has no problem whoever he likes.

Wei Mao was very happy when he heard the words, and without hesitation, he announced a name that made the emperor and empress frown, Huo Yingying.

Huo Yingying is the niece of Huo Qingyang, Marquis of Wu'an, who grew up with her uncle since childhood.Marquis Wu'an is a new nobleman in the court, and he has won the trust of the emperor and the king of Qin. He has guarded Lingzhou for more than ten years, which made the Fuyu people frightened. They have never dared to act rashly for many years.

If Huo Yingying was Huo Qingyang's daughter, Wei Ming and Jun Feili would never hesitate to take this daughter-in-law directly.It's a pity that Huo Yingying is a niece, and she is not an orphan in the ordinary sense who takes refuge in her uncle. Her mother, Huo Qingyue, was taken captive by Fuyu people. She was found by Huo Qingyang after Wei Zhao captured Lingzhou. Who is her biological father? No one knew at all, the only thing that was certain was that it was from Buyeo.

Wei Mao originally thought that the marriage between him and Huo Yingying would not be hindered by the promise of his father and queen mother, but they didn't express their views, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.Jun Feili asked his son what he liked about Huo Yingying, was it because of the kindness he saved his life during the spring hunt?

Wei Mao replied that the reason is not important, what is important is that he very much hopes that Huo Yingying can become his princess.

Jun Feili couldn't accept Huo Yingying's life experience, but he couldn't bear to let his son down, so he discussed with Wei Mao: "Maoer, this news is too unexpected, your father and I have no idea for the time being, let us discuss it, I'll tell you the answer after discussing it."

Wei Mao saw that there was still a turning point in the matter, so he nodded in agreement.After Wei Mao retreated, Wei Ming asked Jun Feili, "Do you want to fulfill Maoer's wishes?"

Jun Feili was silent, and pondered for a long time before saying: "It's just what the princess said, Miss Huo's family background is not good, but..." In Dayan, the division between the aristocratic family and the poor family is too obvious. He is the first person born in history. As a queen from a poor family, only she knows what it feels like.Furthermore, although the Jun family is not a noble family, it is not a poor family in the true sense, not to mention that he has an elder brother like Jun Lin who is so simple and in the heart of the emperor.

Huo Yingying said that she grew up with her uncle, but Huo Qingyang has been guarding the border all year round, and she spends more time living in the Qin Palace.In order to understand Huo Yingying's temperament and behavior, Jun Feili specially called Wei Zhao into the palace. If Wei Zhao also said that there was no problem, he had no intention of objecting.

Unexpectedly, when Wei Zhao heard this, he shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this marriage is inappropriate. I do not approve of Yingying entering the palace."

"How do you say that?" Wei Zhao's reaction was completely beyond Jun Feili's expectation, and he couldn't react for a while.

Wei Zhao frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "Yingying has her own heart, and that person is not the King of Xiang." The King of Xiang is Wei Mao's title. When Wei Ming came to the throne, Wei Xuan was canonized as the crown prince. , Wei Lan was the king of Zhao, and Wei Mao was the king of Xiang.

"Does the heart belong?" Jun Feili frowned slightly, as if he hadn't thought that his son was in unrequited love, and subconsciously asked, "Is it Rong'er?" Childhood sweethearts, it is normal for the two to have a relationship.

Wei Zhao was startled when he heard the words, recovered his senses, and said with a wry smile: "No, Rong'er and Yingying are like brothers and sisters, and there is no love between men and women."

Jun Feili waved his hand, signaling to Wei Zhao not to say who that person is anymore.Originally, he was thinking that if Huo Yingying was a nice person, and he and Wei Mao hit it off, looking at his son's face, he gritted his teeth and made the marriage happen, so that Wei Mao wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

But who would have thought that the girl didn't mean it at all, it was purely wishful thinking that Wei Mao was so hot about shaving his head.

The rest of the matter was actually very simple, Jun Feili told Wei Mao directly that he would not allow his marriage with Huo Yingying.

Wei Mao was not convinced, and asked why, Yingying is so good, she is much better than Shangguan Cha, and she is not bad at all compared to Xie Xiang.

Seeing that her son was stubborn, Jun Feili had no choice but to tell the truth, Huo Yingying was indeed good, but the problem was that she was unwilling to marry him.

How could Wei Mao believe that Huo Yingying was so gentle to him, how could she be uninterested in him, it must be Jun Feili who sent someone to say something in front of her, which scared her, so she didn't dare to agree to marry him.He went to find her personally and explained the situation to her, Huo Yingying would definitely agree to the marriage.

Wei Mao found Huo Yingying, but no one knew what they said, anyway, when Wei Mao returned to the palace, he had a shocked expression on his face.

Huo Yingying refused to enter the palace, and Wei Mao had no other favorites, so Jun Feili personally chose the candidate for Princess Xiang.

Hearing the news, Wei Mao was very conflicted, saying that he didn't want to marry anyone, how could Jun Feili agree, Wei Mao got hotheaded and left the palace.

Therefore, the task of finding the third prince fell on Wei Chongrong.First of all, he is the son of King Qin, so there is no need to worry about confidentiality; second, his martial arts is strong, and his safety is guaranteed; last and most important, he has a little relationship with Wei Mao's departure.
