Emperor Nagasawa [Rebirth]

In the eighth year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Jiang ruled the world, proclaimed himself emperor in Luocheng, and changed his year name to Yuanchu.

In the 12th year of the Yuan Dynasty, it was widely rumored that Mi Jin, the emperor of Chu, had transferred and hid the huge treasury of Chu State before the defeat of the war. Those who won the treasury of Chu State would have the financial resources to recruit troops and overthrow Jiang State to establish a brand new dynasty.In order to prevent the treasure house from falling into the hands of Emperor Jiang, Emperor Chu ordered people to take the treasure map to Zongheng Palace before his death, and handed it over to the owner of Zongheng Palace for safekeeping.He also begged that if the master of Zongheng Palace met a descendant of Chu State one day, he would donate the treasure house to him to complete the great cause of revival.

Soon, the rumors started to spread, and all directions were mobilized.

Zongheng Palace, as the name suggests, is taken from Zongheng Shuhe. It is rumored that it was built by the emperor of the previous dynasty to solve things that could not be solved in the court.Later, the former dynasty broke up, and the Zongheng Palace had to hide accordingly.

No one knows when and where the Zongheng Palace was established, only that it has existed for at least a hundred years, even longer than the Jiang Kingdom.It's just that it is hidden in the world, and no one knows where the Zongheng Palace is;

What's more, it is widely rumored that every master of the Zongheng Palace is the world's most talented person with knowledge and martial arts, which makes the world fascinated by the Zongheng Palace.

The rumors intensified, and the whole court naturally heard about it.Not to mention Emperor Jiang and King Jiang, but Jiang Xi, the prince, scoffed at this.

He was taught by great Confucianists since he was a child, even Jiang Ze, who has a long-term memory, would not dare to say that he is more knowledgeable in front of these great Confucians, so even if Zhuang Mo is full of knowledge, it is impossible to become the number one in the world.As for martial arts, his father once told him that there are very few people in the world who can match Jiang Ze, and this generation of Zongheng Palace Masters is only in their twenties, so it is impossible to surpass Jiang Ze.

But even if he pulls Palace Master Zongheng to an equal position with him, Jiang Xi also knows that this person may not be easy to get along with.Just when he was eighteen, Jiang Su agreed for him to go out to practice, so he took Zhang Yi to Yulong Snow Ridge.

——The Zongheng Palace is in the Jade Dragon Snow Ridge.

Yulong Snow Ridge is more than [-] feet high, and its mountain is steep. Snow begins to accumulate above [-] feet, and the scenery is strange and magnificent.With this mountain as a cover for the Zongheng Palace, it will naturally disappear from the world.

When Jiang Xi woke up, she couldn't tell what night it was and what night it was.After a long time, I just remembered that I was separated from Zhang Yi and others in the snowy mountains, and then encountered an avalanche, and I didn't know where to escape under the panic, and escaped the coma.

Jiang Xi opened the window.

The whole world is guessing where the Zongheng Palace is, but few people have discovered that it is actually built in the mountains.There was no light in the palace, but the night pearls inlaid everywhere made the whole palace look like daytime.

It seems that the rumor that there is a large amount of wealth in the Zongheng Palace is not false...but this wealth will definitely not be left by Chu State.

Jiang Xi leaned against the window and quietly admired this marvelous palace for a moment, then a maid in white opened the door and entered.Holding the clothes in both hands, she bowed her head and said respectfully: "Young master, please take a bath and change clothes, and follow me to see the Palace Master."

Along the winding corridor, climbing up the steps little by little, it is a greenhouse, exuding the fragrance of green plum wine.There is also a man leaning on the long couch in the room, wearing only white clothes, with black hair like a waterfall.His long eyebrows slanted into his temples, his expression lazy.Although his face was as cold as frost, he was unparalleled in beauty.

He stared at Jiang Xi and paused for a moment on his eyebrows: "Sit down, please drink."

Jiang Xi sat down and sipped sake.I think this must be a wine brewed from snow water, with a refreshing taste, but it feels warm and sweet after entering the mouth, with a lingering aftertaste.

After slowly drinking this glass of wine, he could hear the person seated say: "My name is Zhuang Mo."

Jiang Xi got up immediately, bowed and thanked: "So it's Palace Master Zhuang! I heard Renxi, thank you Palace Master for saving me!"

Zhuang Mo was noncommittal: "Why did you come to Jade Dragon Snow Ridge?"

Jiang Xi sighed lightly.

He seemed to have recalled some sad memories, and his eyes were slightly distracted: "I was originally a scholar, but unfortunately my family has fallen... I heard that this snow-capped mountain is rich in snow lotus, so I wanted to try my luck. I just didn't expect... Thank you, Palace Master .” What he said was concise and to the point, because the simpler it is, the more intriguing it is.

Zhuang Mo looked at his expression of helplessness, fear, and rejoicing expressionlessly, and didn't know if he believed it, and said calmly: "You don't need to call me Palace Master, you can call me Mr. Zhuang."

Jiang Xi called "Mr. Zhuang" out of kindness.

Zhuang Mo has shifted his gaze to Jiang Xi's long and beautiful fingers: "Do you know how to play the piano?"

Jiang Xi nodded, and said very honestly: "Yes, yes, but I can't play well."

Most literati in this world are modest, and the more talented they are, the more they like to show "I'm just an ordinary person, wait and see how amazing I am" and so on.Zhuang Mo only thought that he was the same: "It's okay, just try it."

So when the qin was brought up, Jiang Xi sat cross-legged, outlining the first note with her fingertips, and the person who was resting on the couch with closed eyes suddenly opened them and his face changed slightly.

Without him.

The sound of the piano...it's really terrible.

At the end of the song, there was a stunned silence between the two.

Jiang Xi and Zhuang Mo looked at each other for a moment, couldn't help but scratched their hot cheeks with their fingers, and said in shame: "I didn't play very well, I made Mr. Gong laugh."

Zhuang Mo: "..." To be able to say that such an unpleasant piano sound is just "not very good" is indeed modest.

But seeing the young man in such a state, he wanted to say "it's okay", but there was a devil's voice in his ears, and this posture seemed to be lingering in his ears for three days and three nights, so he swallowed this sentence after all, and said calmly: " Don't play it any more."

When Jiang Xi heard it, a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face: "...Oh."

Zhuang Mo was silent for a while, and then said: "Aside from Qin, what else do you want?"

Jiang Xi's eyes light up slightly: "I know how to play the flute!" Jiang Ze is so talented that as long as he is willing, even if the artistic conception is not there, the intonation must be the same. Jiang Su is also called a master in terms of rhythm, but when it comes to Jiang Xi , I can't play any musical instrument well, only the flute can play pretendingly.

So when he was a child, Jiang Ze always stroked the teary Jiang Xi's head and sighed softly.

——Son, if you have nothing to do, don't play musical instruments in front of your unmarried wife!

Of course, at this time Jiang Xi didn't think that the person in front of her was her own daughter-in-law, so she casually showed her hand and frightened someone casually.

Zhuang Mo looked at his appearance, his heart moved slightly, he summoned the attendant at the door and said indifferently: "Go and fetch the flute from my room."

The attendant quickly brought a jade box.Zhuang Mo opened it and handed it to Jiang Xi.

Perhaps because of being soaked in the snow-capped mountains all year round, this flute is very crystal clear, even giving people the illusion of seeing through it at a glance. Jiang Xi's eyes suddenly had a bit of surprise: "This flute..."

Zhuang Mo thought of the piano sound just now, gave up the desire to ask Jiang Xi to play a piece, and said lightly: "If you like it, I will give it to you."

Jiang Xi quickly raised her eyes, and refused: "No, I won't be rewarded for nothing, I can't..."

Zhuang Mo was slightly moved by the thoughts in his dark eyes.

"It's not something unusual," he said with a calm expression, obviously not taking this priceless jade flute seriously, "take it."

After saying this, it seemed awkward to refuse again, and Jiang Xi accepted it with a blushing face.

The two chatted for a while through the flute.

Because Jiang Xi was not in a hurry to test anything, and Zhuang Mo was the same, and even showed a strange indulgence towards Jiang Xi, so the two had a very happy chat.

Even both sides have a hint of appreciation for each other.

But when the two chatted to a high point, a maid stepped forward to interrupt.Jiang Xi vaguely heard the words "outside" and "treasure map".

Zhuang Mo's expression suddenly froze, and his eyes were filled with disgust.

It was obvious that he hated dealing with those people.

But the Zongheng Palace is already in the center of the whirling lair, and a hundred years of peace may be ruined at once. Zhuang Mo couldn't bear this kind of thing to happen, so he nodded slightly to Jiang Xi: "Sorry, I have important things to deal with for now."

Then, without waiting for Jiang Xi to politely express that there is no problem, he ordered his attendant to say: "Ming Nan, take Mr. Wenren for a stroll."

Two days later, Jiang Xi had memorized the key points in the Zongheng Palace by heart.Then, when Zhuang Mo had no time to take care of him, he sneaked out of the Zongheng Palace.

Zhang Yi has been waiting for a long time.

From childhood to adulthood, besides the two fathers, Jiang Xi is closest to Zhang Yi, even calling him "uncle" is not an exaggeration.Zhang Yi followed and took care of him when he went out for training.

A few people were separated in the snow mountain before and encountered an avalanche. Jiang Xi disappeared for a few days, which almost drove Zhang Yu crazy.

Jiang Xi played with the flute in his hand: "The Zongheng Palace has lived in seclusion in Daxue Mountain for more than a hundred years. It has been separated from the powerful for a long time. Most of the people in the palace have forgotten the taste of power. It is not so much that the Zongheng Palace owner Zhuang Mo disturbs the world, it is better to say that the tree wants to be quiet. The wind doesn't stop."

Especially Zhuang Mo, the lord of the Zongheng Palace, is a very interesting person.

"Has Your Highness decided to leave this place?"

"No, there are still some issues that have not been clarified." He has not been able to find out who the person who wants to use the Zongheng Palace to make trouble.

Zhang Yi disagreed and said: "Who is behind the tricks, the spies will naturally be able to find out. It is really inappropriate for His Highness to step into a dangerous place."

Jiang Xi, however, answered irrelevantly: "The plum blossom cake here is delicious, next time bring some to Uncle Zhang... Well, the flute is also good." And, the way that person looked at him really made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Yi sighed slightly.He knew that he couldn't persuade Jiang Xi anymore, so he reminded: "Your Majesty is very worried about you."

Since Jiang Xi was born, whenever Jiang Ze or Jiang Su went out to fight, he ordered someone to send a letter from home to Jiang Xi every few days.Now that Jiang Xi is traveling all the way to the southeast, the two parties keep writing letters from both sides—anyway, having money and power is self-willed!

Jade Dragon Snow Ridge is more than a month's journey away from the palace, and what I have now received is the letter from Jiang Ze's family about a month ago.Jiang Xi smiled: "What did Dad say?"

Zhang Yi: "...Your Majesty said that you will go back after you have had enough fun...but before that, make sure that your life will not be finished by yourself."

When Jiang Xi heard it, his brows and eyes were stained with tenderness.Most of the time, his temperament is actually more like Jiang Su.Wen Wenya smiled for a moment, but then thought of one thing: "Wait, did you tell them about the avalanche we encountered earlier?"

There was a trace of sympathy in Zhang Yi's eyes: "Yes, on the day you disappeared, my subordinates ordered someone to send the secret letter back to Jingluo."

Jiang Xi: "..."
