Spicy rivers and lakes!

In the afternoon, Ning and Chen went to the palace. Liu Che sat at a low table with his hands on his knees, looking at the map in front of him.The weather in June is the most comfortable day. There is no need for ice cubes to cool off, and there is no wind. The sun alone can make people warm. The windows in the room are opened, and the sun shines in. Liu Che is drowsy, rather When He Chen walked in, he woke up with a start, wiped his saliva, and said, "Ah, you're here."

Ning Hechen said, "What do you want from me?"

"Huh?" Liu Che glanced at him and said, "Didn't I tell you to come with Sima Xiangru? Where's that thing?"

Ning Hechen said indifferently: "I don't know."

Liu Che laughed loudly and said, "Why, he provoked you again?"

Ning Hechen glanced at him, and said casually, "What do you want from me?"

Liu Che is now familiar with Ning Hechen's temper, and knows that this person is really difficult to deal with. How beautiful he looks makes his heart feel cold and hard.She simply doesn't want to interact with people, and her tone of voice is already trying to save face.I heard that Liu Zhuo saved Ning Hechen with his life back then, but Ning Hechen still threw him in Dongou and followed him to Chang'an?This person's heart probably cannot be covered.But Liu Che doesn't care, he doesn't care how sincere Ning Hechen is, and he doesn't care that he always has a cold face. Now that he is under his command, he has won, and as long as he is still the emperor, he can win. win the day.This is the benefit of being an emperor, the benefit of power, you don't have to worry about whether others like it or not.

Liu Che asked with a smile: "There is a report from the front that the armies from all directions have arrived in the territory of the Xiongnu. I feel uneasy, so I want you to come over and chat."

Ning and Chen didn't speak, just waiting for him to speak.He hasn't changed the black robe he wears today, his hair is neatly tied up, exposing his face completely, women use their hair to cover their faces, smudge their faces, and smudge their mouths. That blush, the face was painted white again, lifeless.How can there be such a half-beautiful face as Ning Hechen?Looking at this face, Liu Che also felt that this person should live in Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven. Dongou, Yanmen, and Wude Mountain couldn't tolerate Ning and Chen, so he was blinded by his face.

Liu Che said, "I heard that you went to find Tian Fu today?"

Ning Hechen didn't intend to hide it from him, when he went out, he stepped out through the gate, and when he walked out of Tian Fu's mansion, he was also generous, not even changing his clothes.Ning Hechen said, "Go."

Liu Che: "Why, you still know my uncle? Usually, you don't even leave the house, why do you want to see him?"

"The entanglement of the previous generation," Ning Hechen said, "I have nothing else to do, so I went to see him, everything is fine."

He didn't lie either. Cangying Zhidu had indeed stayed in Chang'an for a while. Liu Che naturally thought it was that time. Well, just one word, 'greedy', greedy for everything, being prime minister, not satisfied, wanting the world to obey him, but I can't make the world obey me, he has a good idea! "

Ning Hechen smiled.

Liu Che raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "Xueman, when I look at you, I feel elated. Why do I like you so much?"

"Really," Liu Che pointed at him, and said decisively, "There must be no one in the world who doesn't like you."

Ning Hechen lowered his eyes, looked at the map as well, and said, "That's a lot."

He turned his eyes to Yanmen, followed Yanmen, went south to look for it, passed the river, passed the mountains, and then found Dongou, his heart was empty, like a gnat in his throat.

Liu Che said with a smile: "There are only two types of people in this world, those who love you, and those who hate you. I dare say that the second type of people has to hate you because you made a big mistake."

Ning Hechen smiled, looked up at him, and said, "According to this, if I didn't have this face, I might have died a long time ago."

Liu Che: "That's not what I meant."

Ning Hechen pointed to Dongou and asked, "The Minyue Kingdom has rebelled, what are you going to do?"

"I?" Liu Che said, "I don't have time to talk to him now, let them fight first, and wait until the Xiongnu soldiers return."

After Liu Che finished speaking, he saw that Ning Hechen's eyes were still fixed there, so he looked up, saw Dong Ou, suddenly realized, and said, "I forgot, Liu Zhuo is still there."

Ning Hechen seemed to be talking to himself: "He should stick to Dongou."

"That can't be done," Liu Che said, "He is from the Jianghu, and this is breaking the law. If this is the case, then I really can't blame me for not thinking of the brotherhood."

Ning Hechen's expressions didn't change, and he didn't answer.

Liu Che said: "I think this is an opportunity to get away. Liu Zhuo may not necessarily perish with Dongou. His child is a bit ambitious."

Ning Hechen seemed to have heard a joke, and asked, "Him?"

"Why?" Liu Che raised his eyebrows, "Do you think what I said is wrong?"

Ning Hechen said, "Li...Liu Zhuo probably doesn't even know how to write the word ambition."

Li Dongqing is an indecisive, affectionate and righteous person. In Ning Hechen's impression, Li Dongqing wants nothing but freedom and feelings. All he thinks about is how to treat those around him well, how to treat Ning And the dust is good.Ning Hechen knew it in his heart.In the past two years, Li Dongqing talked about growing up every day, but she never grew up once. She was still very childish, like a baby bird, and she would not let go if she recognized it. Ning Hechen never thought that Li Dongqing would Give up Dongou.

Liu Che waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "You don't understand him. In fact, you can't say you don't understand him, Xueman, you don't understand 'people' very well."

"When you play tricks on people," Liu Che said, stepping back and leaning against the wall, "people can only be analyzed from the overall situation and cannot be relied on experience. How can you say this? Your parents may not even know that you are When to do something, you don’t know yourself, but the situation knows, so don’t analyze people, analyze the situation.”

Ning Hechen frowned and looked at him.

Liu Che spread his hands, and said, "Our Liu family is all a bit of a wimp, or a little bit of a wimp, a meaning, as long as you understand it."

Ning Hechen dismissed it, so he didn't speak.

At this time, Sima Xiangru finally came, knelt down as soon as he entered the door, and said, "My minister is late."

"Where did you go?" Liu Che scolded, "You fool around every day, and I can't find you."

Sima Xiangru was miserable, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Ou caught Chufu after so many months and failed to catch him. Today he said that he found a trace of someone, so he insisted on letting me go and watch Chufu. How did he escape, I will write a poem to report to you later, he is afraid that if he says, you won’t believe it.”

Liu Che laughed angrily, and said, "This Zhang Ou can't do his business, and he's just thinking about how to deal with me every day. What about that person, have you caught him yet?"

"I caught it." Sima Xiangru was stunned for a moment, and said, "Don't you know? Then he should go back to write the memorial. Zhang Ou is really too ink-stained. I think I am enough ink-stained. He is better than me. It's a hundred times more inkblot."

Liu Che patted the table and said, "Caught it?!"

Ning Hechen also turned to look at Sima Xiangru, and for a moment both eyes stared at him, Sima Xiangru wondered what was going on, why did Zhang Ou's work fall to his own?But I still have to say: "Caught it. At that time, the woman was performing surgery and couldn't move, so she took it on the spot. I just don't know who it was performed on. It looks quite infiltrating."

"Then why don't you drag me over to have a look with me!" Liu Che said angrily.

Sima Xiangru: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you didn't want to see her, so you just cut her in half?"

Liu Che: "..."

"Or you didn't say it, and Zhang Ou remembered it wrong?" Sima Xiangru asked.

"I can piss you off every day," Liu Che said with a sigh of relief, "I wish I could write it all down. I really said something important, but you ignored it."

Sima Xiangru hurriedly said, "It was Zhang Ou who said it."

"Did I mention you?" Liu Che looked at his useless look, wishing he could kick him, and said, "Forget it, I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, he stood up, he got up, saw that Ning Hechen hadn't moved, just about to open his mouth to ask, Ning Hechen said: "I won't watch the fun."

Liu Che pointed at him, then pointed at him, and finally said: "Forget it, you go back and have a good rest."

As he spoke, he took Sima Xiangru out together. Ning Hechen stood up, reached out and patted his clothes, and then walked out slowly. It was the same when he came and left. .After he went back, he closed the door, opened the cabinet and took a look. There was a cabinet full of gold in it. He left it there when he left, and no one came to take it now. It seems that he was indeed caught.Ning Hechen closed the cabinet casually and ignored it.

Chu Fu failed to get the gold, but it should have been completed before he was caught. After two days of procrastination, Tian Fu died dryly in his own house. When he died, no one knew what he got. The disease can only be attributed to the fact that he has carried too many evils on him during his lifetime, and the ghosts of Wei Qihou and Guan Fu are haunted.

Chu Fu was sentenced to be executed at the end of the Nagato Palace at the end of the month, and the emperor specially notified Chen Ajiao.

But there were still two days before the end of the month, and Ning and Chen didn't even pay a single glance at Chufu.

Liu Che asked him to manage the Jianghu people in Chang'an City. He wanted to find more Jianghu people who could take refuge in the court. Ning Hechen is a famous person. Originally, he could be regarded as a living sign here, but his reputation is now It can't be used, so generally you can only rely on talking, if the talking is not speculative, fight again, and if you are convinced, the problem will be solved.

There was a knock on the door, and Guo Xie walked in and said, "I heard that the witch was caught?"

Ning Hechen supported the edge of the table with one hand, and propped his chin with the other hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Guo Xie sat in front of him, looked at him, and said with a smile, "Really, Ning Hechen, I just introduced Liu Ling for you, and you didn't even say thank you, and still ignored me?"

It was only after Ning Hechen realized that he came in that he blurted out, "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, both he and Guo Xie were stunned.Guo Xie was taken aback and said, "Are you okay?"

Ning Hechen let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine."

Guo Xie asked, "Why did you go to see Liu Ling?"

Ning Hechen sarcastically said, "Afraid I'll fall in love with her?"

"Then be careful," Guo Xie said indifferently, "The only men who have been close to her are me and Liu Che who are still alive."

Ning Hechen laughed until tears came out.

Guo Xie said, "What, you're in a good mood?"

Ning Hechen smiled and shook his head.

Guo Xie was used to it. He had never been alone with Ning Hechen before, and many people had never been alone with Ning Hechen. It seemed that when he was with Ning Hechen, there must be someone else present. It's Li Dongqing.Ning Hechen is too sharp a person. Many times he is too lazy to talk to people, and when he speaks, he carries a gun with a stick, which makes people uncomfortable. He was willing to hide and bear it before. Since he came back this time Chang'an didn't even hide.

Guo Xie said: "I'm looking for you this time. It has nothing to do with Liu Ling. Don't ask me if you like her. I don't care. A few people from the rivers and lakes have come. They are said to be strangers in Chang'an City. Go and meet her." Well, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it myself.”

Ning Hechen: "Is it very powerful?"

"No," Guo Xie said plainly, "I'm not as good as you, so I let you go."

Guo Xie said: "Don't ask next time, although it is true, but every time you say it, it hurts your self-esteem every time."

"Okay," Ning Hechen stood up, picked up his sword, and said, "I won't ask next time."

Guo Xie looked at his back as he left, and felt that he was indeed a little abnormal.

Chang'an City is indeed the most prosperous place in the whole country. There are the most beautiful girls and the strongest wine here. The air here does not smell of horse manure. But any wine shop with a second floor can invite girls to accompany the wine.

Ning Hechen carried his sword and went up to the second floor. Today he was wearing a blue long-sleeved gown and his hair was combed. He walked up slowly and stopped in front of a house, hearing the conversation inside. The sound also stopped.

Ning Hechen knocked on the door, and the people inside paused for a moment before saying, "Come in."

Ning Hechen stretched out two fingers, and gently pushed the door open. The door only opened a gap, enough to reveal his face, and enough to see the people inside.

Li Dongqing sat in the innermost place, her face turned red from drinking, she was frowning and looking towards the door, but when she saw Ning Hechen, her brows suddenly widened.

Li Dongqing suddenly stood up and said, "Master?!"

master.Ning Hechen tasted the two words carefully, but couldn't taste sweet and sour for a while.

Chu Zhongqi was stunned, but she was the last to react, and said incredulously, "Ning Hechen?"

Li Dongqing patted him on the shoulder and gave him a wink. Ning Hechen's name should not be mentioned.Chu Zhongqi hurriedly slapped herself: "I have admitted the wrong person! Look at my head, I should be slapped!"

Li Dongqing stood up and asked the women to leave the room. When they were gone, there were only Chu Zhongqi and Li Dongqing in the room.Li Dongqing stood up, closed the door for Ning Hechen, led him in, and said, "Sit down and chat?"

The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, Li Dongqing was very happy, but still asked cautiously: "Master, we came here secretly this time, how did you know?"

Ning and Chen sat across from them, Li Dongqing and Chu Zhongqi sat in a row, but he was far away from Li Dongqing.Ning Hechen heard himself say: "Guo Xie explained that there are rangers in Chang'an City, let me take a look."

Almost no one could understand what he said, Li Dongqing still joked with a smile: "It's fine if they didn't come to kill us."

Ning Hechen frowned suddenly and looked at him.

Li Dongqing: "What?"

"Why would I kill you?" Ning Hechen asked.

Li Dongqing was stunned, then smiled again: "I'm just joking."

Ning Hechen put his hands on the table and clenched them into fists. He didn't speak for a long time.

Chu Zhongqi felt the embarrassment of the atmosphere, and said: "Hey, my brother is really an old hat. After coming here, he doesn't know what it means to accompany wine. After the girl is drinking, he waits for these people to stay. , Waiting for these people not to leave, just now secretly asked me why these girls didn’t leave, and will they ask for more money later, hahahaha.”

After finishing speaking, no one paid any attention to him. Li Dongqing just smiled for him, then turned to Ning Hechen and said, "I have no other intentions."

Ning Hechen closed his eyes, Li Dongqing guessed that he seemed to be leaving, Li Dongqing also felt very sorry, and could only wait for him to say that he was going to leave.

Ning Hechen didn't leave, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Li Dongqing said with a smile: "I came here to save someone, I won't tell you, I think you will be embarrassed, just pretend you don't know!"

Ning Hechen looked at him and nodded.

Li Dongqing suddenly didn't know what to say, out of emotion and reason, Ning Hechen was kind to him, and he also called Master, Li Dongqing picked up the important things of the past half a year and said, Ning Hechen He Chen just listened and didn't talk to him.

Ning Hechen didn't drink, so when he had nothing to say in the past, the best method of persuading him to drink couldn't be used. Chu Zhongqi taunted Li Dongqing about some embarrassing things, but he didn't stir up the atmosphere, so the scene still fell.

After a moment of silence, Chu Zhongqi couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to ask Ning Hechen what's wrong, Li Dongqing said, "Master, what's on your mind?"

"No accident, I will leave tomorrow," Li Dongqing looked at him and said, "I still miss you very much in the past six months, how are you?"

Ning Hechen said, "It's okay."

Li Dongqing laughed and said: "That's good, you were injured when you left, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I don't know where you live, so I can't deliver the letter. You can rest assured. When I came here, I thought, if I am lucky, I can see you, and if I can't see you, there is nothing I can do."

Ning Hechen said, "Are you okay?"

"Okay," Li Dongqing said immediately, "Excellent."

Ning Hechen wanted to ask: "Where is it so good?" But he didn't ask.

He saw four or five empty wine cans on Li Dongqing's table, and saw that there was a sword beside his table instead of a knife. In just half a year, Li Dongqing changed. He really, really changed in the past six months. a lot of.Ning and Chen were not by his side.

Chu Zhongqi stood up in good time and said, "Go out and pee."

Then pushed the door and walked out.Li Dongqing watched him close the door, then said to Ning Hechen, "Do you have any difficulties?"

Ning Hechen laughed, and said softly, "How could it be difficult for you?"

Leading a large group of people to the north, the future and fate are uncertain, Ning Hechen asked a good question, Li Dongqing smiled and said: "I don't find it difficult now, this is my life."

Ning Hechen's heart seemed to be pinched.Li Dongqing said: "You just need to live well. I think Chang'an is really a good place, better than any place I've been to. Alas, only this kind of place can be worthy of you."

He didn't spare Ning and Chen a word, but rather resented his former self, saying, "I shouldn't have forced you to go with me back then."

But it was Li Dongqing who said these words, so there was no trace of resentment, even if there was, let him shave it clean and bring it to his mouth.That's how bloody it was.

Ning Hechen said, "I'm leaving not because of Dongou, nor because of..."

"Master," Li Dongqing stopped him and said with a smile, "it's not important anymore."

Li Dongqing stood up, looked at him and said: "I have always regretted that I didn't have time to say thank you, so I won't kowtow. I'm sorry. I'm leaving. Master, I will help Brother Chu rescue him tomorrow. I will go back to Yuezhi, I may die on the way, or I may really be able to go back, no matter what, I will never go back to the Central Plains."

He even looked at Ning and Chen, said these words with a smile, and said: "I hope you can be well, sincerely."

From the beginning to the end, Li Dongqing always said the same words, "I hope you will be well". When Ning Hechen wanted to leave him on the grassland of the Xiongnu, when he left the tent of the Huns, he said goodbye to Ning Hechen. , also said so.

Ning Hechen looked at him, tears streaming down his face suddenly, the circles of his eyes were not red, but tears suddenly fell.

Li Dongqing froze for a moment, looked at him, and grinned.

After he finished laughing, he left. Chu Zhongqi waited outside the door, holding her own Fuchen in her arms, and glanced at him.

Chu Zhongqi patted him on the shoulder, and then the two walked down the stairs side by side. Chu Zhongqi said: "Brother, do you know that after being thrown down once, you can't let him throw you down a second time?" Here's the chance."

"Brother," Li Dongqing said, "Since you know everything, can you save me a little trouble?"

Chu Zhongqi said: "It's my sister who caused the trouble, can I blame this?"

Li Dongqing didn't look back, feeling that he couldn't look at it, the two of them walked down the bustling streets of Chang'an and found a place to live.
