Shanhe Wanli'an

The Longevity Festival, which has been prepared for a long time, has finally arrived. From the emperor's relatives, relatives, civil and military officials in Daliang to the dawn, the common people are celebrating for Emperor Liang.

The remaining four countries also sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts.

For a time, the entire capital was bustling and bustling.

All the officials and envoys had already arrived at the Liang Palace banquet, and after they were seated, there was a lot of discussion among them.

However, what they were discussing was not how to celebrate Emperor Liang's birthday, but how an assassin broke into the palace last night, injured His Royal Highness King Yu, and set fire to the Miaoxiang Palace of the deceased Concubine Rong Gui.

There was a whole night of commotion in this palace. Dozens of Habayashi guards could not catch an assassin, and let the assassin run away in full view. He has not been caught so far, and it coincides with the Longevity Festival. Don’t dare to publicize it. Capture in private.

A minister curled his lips and waved his hands, and said in a low voice, "In my opinion, this assassin probably won't be able to be caught. It's said that the assassin covered his face with a black scarf. So many people couldn't see the appearance of the assassin last night? Now the assassin has escaped from the palace and mixed in in disguise Among the common people, catch him? That is in the sea? Find a needle."

Another Minister Li sighed: "Master Zhang is very true, but this poor man who commits crimes, murders and set fires is not arrested for a while, and people are always panicked."

At the same time, as soon as the vicious person they spoke of stepped into the hall, he heard that he had become a villain who did all kinds of murder and arson before he could catch up with his back foot.

Xie Xian sighed in his heart, only saying, the world doesn't understand him.

"Master Hou is here!" Seeing him, the ministers stood up one after another.

Xie Xian nodded: "Yes."

The lord Zhang said: "Don't? Know? Master Hou knows? Don't? Know? Xiao, the assassin entered the palace last night, not only set fire to the Miaoxiang Palace, but also wounded His Royal Highness King Yu?"

Xie Xian expressed shock: "There is such a thing? Did the assassin catch it?"

Mr. Zhang shook his head regretfully: "No, Habayashi Wei's group of wine bags and rice bags are usually slack, and when it's time to use them, it's useless to compete one by one! Even a little assassin can't be kept, and he ran out of the palace. , now it’s all right, the assassins have infiltrated the common people? Let’s see who they arrest!”

"If you want me to say, you should do one thing at that time? Do two things? Stop, shoot the assassin to death with random arrows. If he was shot dead, there would be no problem today." Master Zhang was filled with righteous indignation, but he had a relationship with King Yu. Well, now that King Yu is being injured, isn't he? He's in a hurry to get angry

Mr. Zhang looked at Xie Xian and asked, "Is what you said by the lower officials reasonable?"

"Master Zhang is right. We should shoot the assassin like a sieve, stab him a few more times and then Ling Chi, so that we can vent the hatred in Master Zhang's heart." Xie Xian said with a smile.

"Your official didn't say that, Master Hou, don't want to wrong your official." Mr. Zhang felt that the smile on Xie Xian's face was a little creepy, but suddenly? In the blink of an eye, he saw a black-clothed monk slowly entering the hall, and he quickly changed his mouth, "Oh , The national teacher is here, I haven't seen the national teacher for a long time, and I want to go to greet you, Lord Hou, you are free, I will leave."

"National teacher! Long time no see? See you go to court."

Xie Xianwen looked at the two people who were exchanging greetings, his eyes fell on Ji Min's black clothes, and he frowned slightly.

"Master Zhang, Ji Min received an ancient book recently, and has been studying the Buddhist teachings in the ancient book in the mansion."

"Then the Master's Dharma must have improved a lot. Congratulations."

Xie Xian felt that the warm and shallow smile on Ji Min's face was a bit dazzling.

When was he like this? Good temper?Wanting to see him smile in the past was more difficult than going to heaven? Can anyone make him laugh today?

Obviously disappeared? I don’t know where I’m going, and I still lie to people to study Buddhism in the government? I’m obviously not in good health now, and I still don’t want to take a good rest, but why come to this crowded place? Why do you want to join in the fun? !

The more Xie Xian thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He raised his foot and inserted himself between Ji Min and Master Zhang.

"Master Hou, what is this?" Master Zhang looked at Xie Xian a little at a loss.

Xie Xian raised his chin, glanced at Ji Min, and then looked at Master Zhang expressionlessly.

Mr. Zhang still didn't react, and suddenly he was dragged away.

"Master Hou wants to talk to the national teacher, Mr. Zhang, don't block that place?"

Master Li, who was witnessing the whole process from the side, couldn't see it? He stopped, and he quickly dragged the elm-headed Master Zhang away, away from Xie Xian and Ji Min.

After the annoying Master Zhang left, Xie Xian looked at Ji Min with folded arms.

Did the smile on Jimin's face disappear? See, Bingshan returned to its original shape.

Xie Xian looked furious, he didn't want to be angry today, but when he looked at Ji Min and remembered the time when he disappeared, and remembered that he was cold to others when he smiled at others, he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

Ji Min seemed to sense Xie Xian's strangeness, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Xian frowned and asked very seriously, "When will I start seeing you?"

Ji Min was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in her clear eyes.

Did Xie Xian see him for a while? Did he feel a little breathy when he spoke? Come over and move his lips: "It's up to you."

And then he turned and walked to his seat.

The moment he left, Ji Min raised his hand, and the corner of Xie Xian's clothes slipped through his hand.

Ji Min's drooping eyes covered his eyes? Despondently.

Seeing the strange atmosphere of Ji Min and Xie Xian, the ministers around had another topic to talk about.

Jimin found his seat, he glanced at Xie Xian, and then took his seat.

I don't know who lined up the seats, so I put him and Xie Xian together.

He kept looking at Xie Xian, watching Xie Xian greet others and drink with a smile, but there was always a gloomy look in his eyes.

Until the three princes entered the palace and took their seats, and the eunuch shouted "Your Majesty, Princess Yanli is here", Xie Xian didn't even cast a glance at him.

For a long time? You Jiu realized that this person was angry.After some thought he might understand why he was angry, but wasn't he doing it all for? Is he okay?

After Emperor Liang and Princess Yanli were seated, all the princes and concubines, ministers of culture and military affairs, and foreign envoys present stood up and raised their glasses: "I wish my emperor (His Majesty Liang Emperor) a long and boundless life, as long as the heavens."

Xie Xian was just pretending to be holding the wine glass, shouting very uncomfortably, distracted; why is Ji Min still struggling with his mind at this moment? Why is Xie Xian so angry, he is also paddling.

Emperor Liang's complexion is not bad today? No, he smiled and waved his hands: "Excuse me, all loves."

Everyone sat down after hearing the words.

Because of the large number of people and the tight arrangement of seats, Xie Xian and Ji Min touched each other's arms as soon as they sat down. Ji Min thought that Xie Xian must be angry if he liked his touch, so he moved quietly. Kai touched Xie Xian's arm.

Although Xie Xian didn't cast a glance at Ji Min, his mind was always on him. Naturally, Ji Min's small movements wouldn't escape his capture.

Therefore, Xie Xian became even more angry.

Ji Min was even more confused by the escalation of anger of the people around him.

In their little-known little interaction, the eunuch in the palace was already announcing the gift list.

After the ministers finished announcing the congratulatory gifts, the three princes also presented their congratulatory gifts to Emperor Liang.

What King Yu gave was the thousand-year-old snow lotus that was cultivated in the Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain, and what King An gave was the rare blood pearl on the reefs of the East China Sea.

"My son? You have a heart." Their congratulatory gifts satisfied Emperor Liang. After they returned to their seats and sat down, Emperor Liang smiled and looked at King Yu: "My son? How is your injury?"

Everyone immediately understood that what Emperor Liang asked was the assassin who broke into the palace last night.

It is said that in order to escape, the assassin threw gunpowder at His Royal Highness King Yu, causing burns on His Royal Highness King Yu's right arm, and the fire spread and burned Miaoxiang Hall.

Xie Xian stared at King Yu's tight right arm, and swallowed guiltyly.

Obviously it's just a joke, how can there be any gunpowder, this transmission? It's too outrageous!

Suddenly, his ears were numb, and the warm breath fell on his neck, and Xie Xian's ears turned red immediately. The voice that had no warmth before, fell into his ears at this moment. It has some charming meaning.

Ji Min asked, "Did you throw him with gunpowder?"

Xie Xian was dizzy, and lowered his voice: "Who threw him with gunpowder! That's a fire bag!"

"Oh."

Xie Xian frowned, and began to explain: "I didn't intend to throw him on purpose, I just wanted to scare him to earn time to escape, who knows? Knowing that the room is so dark, what can I do?"

Ji Min felt that Xie Xian's mood had changed, and his mood became better: "Well, it's okay, will he die from the minor injury?"

Xie Xian waited until his head was dizzy? After that, he suddenly realized: "How do you know? Do you know it's me?"

Jimin raised his hand to drink tea and didn't answer him.

Xie Xian suddenly understood.

So it turned out to be like this?...

At the same time, King Yu replied to Emperor Liang: "My son, I'm fine. It's just that if the assassin is not arrested for a day, the people will be endangered. My son, I can't sleep or eat."

Emperor Liang nodded his head, and said loudly: "Intensify the investigation, make sure to take down the assassin as soon as possible, and then execute him on the spot!"

Xie Xian: "???"

This person is so fond of in-place? Killing people?

Afterwards, Chu Jingxing also sent his congratulatory gift.

Four or five tall guards brought up a "longevity" stone as tall as a person and placed it in the hall, causing an uproar among the crowd.

Chu Jingxing said, "My son, I know that my father already has all the rare treasures in the world, and ordinary treasures can no longer be used as gifts for my father's birth."

"I found this longevity stone by chance, and my son was shocked when he found it. There is such a strange stone in the world. The natural shape is a "shou" character, without a trace of artificial carving." My son? I thought, this must be God's birth for my father's longevity. Only my father can have this longevity stone! May my father be blessed like the East China Sea and live the same life as heaven and earth. Yue Tonghui!"

Emperor Liang laughed heartily: "Good! Good! My son? Sincere filial piety, heaven and earth can learn from each other."

Among the gifts of the three sons, the gift of the youngest son is the most suitable for him!

After the gifts of the three princes are finished, it will be the congratulatory gifts of the other four kingdoms.

The envoys from Beiyan, Xiqin, and Miaojiang all presented congratulatory gifts, wishing Emperor Liang on behalf of their majesty, and proposed to build an alliance and friendly cooperative relationship with Daliang.

Emperor Liang was happy to respond one by one.

The eunuch shouted: "Please envoys of the Eastern Qi Dynasty!"

For a moment, no one answered.

Everyone started talking again.

"Please envoy of Dongqi!" The eunuch shouted again.

Still no answer.

Xie Xian had a bad premonition in his heart, and Ji Min sipped tea leisurely with his ice face on his face, as if he had nothing to do with him in this matter, and he stayed out of it and no one could disturb him.

"Has the envoy from the Eastern Qi Dynasty not arrived yet?" Emperor Liang's good mood was ruined. He was suspicious, squinted his eyes and said in a sinister tone, "Could it be that the new emperor of Eastern Qi has lost sight of him and has come to my beam?"

Suddenly, a warm and smiling voice came along with the wind.

"Emperor Liang, why should he get angry?"

Everyone looked towards the gate of the palace after hearing the reputation, only to see a well-mannered young man slowly entering the palace.

"Who is this person? He is so bold and disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Xie Xian's eyes fell on the man, his eyes narrowed, he frowned, and cursed in his heart: Why is he here?

There was a faint smile on the corner of Ji Min's mouth.
