Qingluan City Lord has a lot of broken things

On this day, Shangyuan Hexiang supported Tianling, left the mountain depression of Guangling Kingdom, and took a boat with his family to Geyun Kingdom. The largest wharf in Geyun Kingdom was already surrounded by officers and soldiers, and Confucian scholars were standing in front of the officers and soldiers.

When the sea boat docked, Shangyuan Hexiang supported Tianling and had just landed. Those Confucian scholars and officers and soldiers immediately knelt down and bowed down, shouting in unison, "Welcome the return of the prince".The mighty voice reached Tianling's ears. Although he couldn't see the scenery in front of him, the sound made Tianling very happy and smiled.

Tianyun didn't know that something happened in the palace, he was still playing in the palace, the takraw ball fell from his hands, he ran after the ball, the ball hit a pair of feet and stopped, Tianyun was stunned, and quickly raised his head.

Tianling bent down, picked up the takraw ball, opened his lips and said, "Brother Wang, can I play with you?"

Tian Yun smiled and said: "Of course!" He hesitated a little suddenly, "But Brother Wang, can you see the ball with your eyes blindfolded?"

Tianling smiled and replied: "You can listen with your ears! Also, your sister-in-law will help me pick up the ball."

Tian Yun stretched his neck and probed behind Tianling, saw a strange and gentle woman, and said to Tianling: "Brother Wang, you have a sister-in-law, so I can play in the harem from now on? "

Tianling stretched out his hand and made a gesture out of thin air, just in time to touch Tianyun's head, and replied: "It's natural to love to play, but don't forget your homework." Zhangluo returned the sepak takraw ball to Tianyun.

Hearing the sound of the wind, Tianling couldn't help murmuring again: "It's good to be back."

Shangyuan Hexiang stepped forward and reminded: "Wash the wind and dust well, in a few days, we will go up to Zhanluan Pagoda."

Tianling nodded slightly.

Lian Mi was alone leaning against the pillar with her arms folded, very lonely. In order to protect Tianling, she lost the opportunity to go to Mufeng Society for revenge. Now that Huang Yan has been taken away by Qingluan City, he even had the opportunity to stab with a sword also lost.The only thing Shangyuan Hexiang can make up for him is to let him take over the post of commander of the guards and lead the Jinyiwei himself.

In a blink of an eye, it was night again. After taking a bath, Li Xuan walked into Su Zhongming's bedroom as promised. Seeing Su Zhongming sitting cross-legged on the couch with one hand resting on his cheek, he opened his lips and said, "How long have you been waiting for me?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Tonight, I am the superior, so of course I have to wait for you."

Li Xuan took off his outer robe and hung it on the wooden frame, then climbed onto the couch, and urged after lying down, "I'm ready, come on."

Su Zhongming took a look and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you acting as a subordinate this time, but you act like you sacrifice your life for righteousness?"

Li Xuan replied: "It's just that the purpose of tonight is relatively clear. You should stop talking so as not to miss a good time."

Su Zhongming closed his mouth, took off his outer robe, loosened the lapel, and ducked on Li Xuan's body, his joy overwhelmed all reason, the four petals clinging to each other, the honey night delivery, and the ten papers were tightly fastened.

On weekdays, Su Zhongming did exactly what Li Xuan did to him about money. They stabilized for several times, the experience of several husbands playing the piano made them both fall into the sea of ​​jade soon, their bodies were close to each other, and they moved while being stable.

After the money play, when the depression was turned on, it was the time to stir-fry the hot oil. Su Zhongming slowly sighed the jade into the narrow and long path. In his anger, he was extremely quick, and the imperial couch also shook, making a creaking sound. The sound was mixed with the sound of Chuan Xi and Shen Yin.

After an hour of physical exhaustion, Su Zhongming was exhausted and breathless, but he was still a little unsatisfied, and wanted to try again in his heart, but it was late at night, so he could only hug the person next to his pillow and fall asleep peacefully.

Three days later, He Wukui entered the palace and wanted to send Su Zhongming to Zhanluan Pagoda. Su Zhongming came with Li Xuan, but he held Li Zhen who was wrapped in swaddling clothes in his arms.

When He Wukui saw it, he was slightly stunned: "It's really a big event to set off to Zhanluan Pagoda today, why did Your Majesty bring the little prince with you?"

Su Zhongming told the truth helplessly: "This morning, the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill with a cold and couldn't get up on the couch, but Zhen'er didn't have a nanny, so she only left her to take care of her. I was afraid that Zhen'er would cry, so I had to bring her here."

He Wukui said: "It doesn't matter, when we arrive at Zhanluan Pagoda, I will ask someone to take care of it."

Su Zhongming nodded.

The three of them set off, took a carriage to the pier, then changed to a sea boat to go out to sea, and headed eastward to a small island with a radius of five miles. In the north, due to the distance, it is still impossible to see the location of Qingluan City with the naked eye.

On the small island, except for the lush vegetation, it is just a tall tower that stands still.

When the ship docked, Su Zhongming walked out of the cabin, and at first sight saw several ships moored on the shore. Obviously other people had already arrived, so he immediately went ashore with Li Xuan and He Wukui who came with him.

Climbing up to the top of the tower step by step, gradually approaching the meeting hall, suddenly, two figures rushed down from the end of the stone steps and rushed to Su Zhongming. Su Zhongming took a closer look and realized that it was Ye Shuangshuang and Fei'er whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The two women clasped their hands together and blurted out with a smile, "Welcome the city lord!"

Su Zhongming opened his lips: "It's you two again, I've never seen you separated before..."

Fei'er replied: "That's because Sister Shuangshuang and I are like twin flowers!"

Zhang Luo, Li Zhen in the swaddling baby suddenly started babbling, looking happy, Fei'er and Ye Shuangshuang noticed the existence of this little guy, stretched their necks, and looked at it curiously.

Fei'er couldn't help opening her lips again: "City Master, this child..."

Su Zhongming replied: "It's my son, his name is Li Zhen. However, he seems to be very curious about this place."

Ye Shuangshuang blurted out: "So cute!"

Going outside the door of the meeting hall, the waiter standing outside said respectfully: "Welcome the city lord, King Shaole."

Su Zhongming looked back at Fei'er and Ye Shuangshuang, then gently handed Li Zhen in his arms into Ye Shuang's hands, and said: "Be careful, don't let him catch a cold, don't make him cry!"

Ye Shuangshuang agreed: "Yes!" Fei'er followed and nodded.

Su Zhongming followed Li Xuanmai into the conference hall, the round table was almost full of people, Su Zhongming greeted him with a smile: "Everyone, we meet again today, don't come here without any problems."

Huang Yuan Wang Ping announced the answer and asked: "How is brother doing well these days?"

Su Zhongming took his seat and said calmly, "Well, I'm having a good time."

Shangyuan He Xiang couldn't help interjecting: "The broken mirror is reunited, so it's natural to have a good life."

Hearing the reputation, Su Zhongming looked over, and seeing Shangyuan Hexiang's somewhat proud face, he smiled embarrassedly.

Liu Yinghe, the king of Guangling, opened his lips: "The previous crusade against Mufeng Society, and the successful capture of the head is really gratifying!"

Su Zhongming said politely: "This is also due to the contributions of all of you!" Scanning carefully all the faces at the table, only two of them were silent and unfamiliar, so he asked curiously: "These three are... ?”

The lords turned their heads and their eyes fell on the expressionless two men and one woman.The woman was in her early thirties, dignified and beautiful, and also stable.The man next to the woman is also over 30 years old, with a little beard, and looks polite and elegant. The other man opposite the woman is slightly younger, but he looks very capable.

Now that she was asked, the woman replied: "I didn't want to disturb King Wen and everyone's pleasure, but since I asked, I should confess my identity - I am the king of Wushuang Kingdom."

Su Zhongming was stunned, but he was even more curious: "Isn't Dong Bin the king of Wushuang Kingdom? I remember that I have been to Wushuang Kingdom and met Dongbin, and I still remember that his arm was broken..." Said He couldn't help but sneak a glance at Shangyuan Hexiang.

Back then, it was Shangyuan Hexiang who broke Dongbin's arm, and it was she who cut it off quickly with a pair of sabers.

The woman didn't know that Shangyuan Hexiang was the instigator, so she just told her frankly: "Exactly. At that time, a major event happened in the palace, and people died. , died. From then on, the queen is no longer a queen, but succeeds to the throne and reorganizes the court."

Su Zhongming understood it, and only said: "So that's how it is!" His gaze immediately fell on the strange man.

The man hurriedly opened his lips: "I am the king of Li Kingdom."

Su Zhongming couldn't help saying: "King Li...? Speaking of which, I have also been to Li Country, but I was hurt by that Ziqixiang, all because of your favorite concubine!"

King Li apologized, and said: "I only wanted to save Ningsun, and I didn't want her father to be such an old man. Fortunately, Ningsun was fine. I felt extremely guilty for involving King Wen into this muddy water."

Su Zhongming said generously: "Although what happened in the past is unbearable, but now I am safe, so I will not pursue it." After thinking for a while, he hurriedly added, "By the way, do you know that your beloved concubine has a sister?"

Li Wang replied: "I know, but I heard that he has disappeared."

Su Zhongming informed: "It's not missing! Many years ago, I married the head of the Murong family on Yangui Island. She is the wife of the head of the family! My son is also a handsome young man! Maybe Yangui Island has a way to treat your beloved concubine. "

Li Wang heard the words, and thanked him quickly: "Thank you, King Wen! After this meeting is over, I will send people to visit Yangui Island!"

Su Zhongming smiled slightly, looked at the second strange man, guessed his identity, and opened his lips and said, "Could it be that you are... King Lan Dan?"

King Landan replied: "King Wen has good eyesight! A few days ago, I received an invitation letter from King Wen. Unfortunately, I was busy with state affairs and had no time to go. I failed King Wen's good intentions. I don't know the reply letter, but I read it?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Reply, I have already read it. If there is a next time, I hope King Landan will appreciate it."

King Lan Dan said politely: "If there are no state affairs, I will definitely go."

As soon as Zhang Yin fell, several figures suddenly floated in from outside. It was the elders of Qingluan City who sat down on the high-backed chairs behind the round table.

Yingqing first opened his lips: "All the lords of the twelve countries have visited Zhanluan Pagoda in person, and they are considering signing a contract with Qingluan City. After reviewing the contract, you can decide freely whether to sign the contract, but Qingluan I only hope that you can sign unanimously."

Yanyan stood up, went to the round table, unfolded a blank booklet, placed it on the table, and then opened her lips with a pen: "If you all have no objections, I will write down the matters that were decided that year in the new contract."

The lords of the country looked at each other and expressed no objection in silence.

Yanyan began to write on the blank paper.

Su Zhongming thought that even if this contract was re-established, it would only be a temporary shackle. It has been destroyed before, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be destroyed again. A contract is far inferior to a dynasty that centralizes the power of twelve kings. If a dynasty is established, and everyone elects the prince of the dynasty, the world will be stable and peaceful for hundreds of years.

He wanted to discuss this matter with the lords of the country, but when he saw that Yanyan's pen was about to touch the white paper, he blurted out: "Wait a minute!"

Yanyan put down his pen and asked, "What's the opinion of the city lord? You can discuss it."

Zhang had already said it, so he couldn't hesitate any longer. Su Zhongming could only go straight in, and replied: "I think that a contract is not as good as the unity of the world."

The princes of the kingdom were surprised when they heard the words, Liu Yinghe, the king of Guangling, first asked: "What do you mean by 'Under Heaven'?"

Su Zhongming simply said: "It is to unify all the current kingdoms into one dynasty! One great dynasty!" Then he explained, "Today's twelve kingdoms, all the kings have the same desire, and no one can predict that he or his descendants will be able to live in the same state. It is not the first time that the two countries have fought and the three countries have fought against each other. It is the common people who will suffer and waste money. If the world is unified, then even if someone turns against each other, it is only a personal grudge and cannot be hurt. people."

Zuo Mu Haiya, the head of the Tuluo Kingdom, replied: "What King Wen said is good, but in a dynasty, there must be someone who is the king. If it is a wise king, it is fine. If it is not a wise king, wouldn't it be using our royal power to do evil? What's more? , we hand over the royal power, how can we live, how can we be worthy of our ancestors?"

Wang Ping of Huang Yuan accepted the chapter and said to Su Zhongming: "Brother, your proposal is too far-fetched. Ask yourself, can you do it?"

Liu Yinghe, the king of Guangling, couldn't help but said: "The Khan of Tuluo Kingdom is right! Your proposal is too far-fetched."

Su Zhongming replied: "I know you won't agree, you listen to me first - if we unify into one dynasty, we must establish a system of royal power, this system will allow the king to restrict us, and we can also restrict the king. Restrictions, no one can have power for their own use! If there is a king, we are the county kings, and our country will become a county country."

The lords fell silent and fell into worry, only King Ge Yun's empress Shangyuan Hexiang opened her lips and said with a light smile: "It seems that you want to establish the relationship between Qingluan City and the lords as a parliament? "

Su Zhongming replied: "Senior sister hits the mark! Yes, I have such an idea."

King Lan Dan couldn't help opening his lips: "It seems that Queen Ge Yun also knows the result of this 'reunification of the world'. I don't know if this result is good or not?"

Shangyuan Hexiang confessed: "The king has power, and the county king also has power. Twelve people restrict one person, just like a scale. If such a system is maintained, then it will be a balanced scale."

Taoxia Wang Yujia opened her lips: "According to what you say, this so-called 'Unification of the World' is not bad?"

Sitting next to him, Wang Yunqing thought for a while, and replied: "I restrained you, and you restrained me, and we both have real power. It seems that we have not lost anything, but gained something..."

Su Zhongming continued: "That's exactly the case! Moreover, the twelve countries are all different. If they are unified, there will be no obstacles to trade. The farming techniques and textile techniques of each country can complement each other. It is a blessing!"

Pingxuan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "One more thing! It's very convenient for us to have a banquet to eat, drink, talk and laugh among our acquaintances!"

It's really a big chapter, but just like this, and with Su Zhongming's detailed explanation, everyone knows the benefits of the unity of the world, so they let go of their scruples and began to reconsider.

King Wushuang slowly opened his lips: "I do care, after the world is united, where will the king be chosen? Who will be the king of this great unity?"

With this sentence alone, everyone's thoughts and thoughts were seduced.

Su Zhongming replied: "It is not me, nor you, but someone else who is such a king. In this way, the king can be controlled by the county kings, and the county king can also be controlled by the king."

Suddenly, a cry came, interrupting Su Zhongming's story, Su Zhongming couldn't help feeling bored, left his seat in a hurry, went to Ye Shuangshuang, and blamed him: "Didn't I tell you to take good care of me..." Children, coax coax.

Ye Shuangshuang hurriedly said clearly: "I have been coaxing him well, but for some reason, I suddenly cried."

Su Zhongming couldn't help squinting at Fei'er.

Knowing that she was suspected, Fei'er hurriedly explained: "It's not me, it's not me! You were playing with me just now..."

Su Zhongming couldn't find the reason, and couldn't ask the teacher to inquire about the crime, so he just reported the child back to the seat, and continued to discuss important issues with you while coaxing the child.

King Landan said: "According to what King Wen said just now, we must select talented people from the people. However, there is a huge crowd, and we don't know when we will be elected."

Liu Yinghe, king of Guangling, followed the chapter and said: "It's better to choose a child and ask a knowledgeable and kind teacher to teach him. When he becomes an adult, he will become an enlightened and benevolent king."

As soon as Zhang Yin fell, the eyes of all the monarchs were unanimously cast on Li Zhen who was in Su Zhongming's arms.

Su Zhongming glanced at everyone present, then at Li Zhen who was in the swaddling baby, and said puzzledly: "My child can't even walk the road, and he can't even tell the person Zhang, besides, if you choose my child, maybe I will What about using power for personal gain?"

Shangyuan He Xiang smiled lightly and opened his lips: "My junior brother is really stupid. I have to give up a great opportunity in front of me. Well, when I get pregnant and give birth, you can't blame me for running for the election."

Tuluo King Zuo Mu Haiya followed up and said: "King Wen, I want to consider your child because of your character. As the saying goes, 'Like a father, like a son'."

Jialing King Qianqin opened the chapter box: "Helping Jialing Kingdom in the past has already highlighted the character of King Wen, and this child must be as reliable as King Wen!"

Su Zhongming was in a dilemma and couldn't make a decision for a while.In fact, he only hopes that Li Zhen will grow up and live a carefree life, develop elegant hobbies, and do his job seriously. As for the unified king, he only hopes that others will be in charge.

Now, everyone unanimously recommended him, which made him very embarrassed.

At this moment, Pingxuan suddenly came up with an idea and suggested: "How about this! Let the children choose by themselves?"

Su Zhongming wondered: "He doesn't even know how to name the person, how can he choose?"

Pingxuan suggested again: "He always catches things, right? Just let him catch and see, and if he catches the king's seal, it is destined by God, and he is a unified king! If he catches something else, then... this Unification, we have to think about it in the long run."

Su Zhongming looked at the lords, saw the lords nodding, he stood up, put the child gently on the table, and put the jade seal, long sword, jade pendant, etc. on the table, then turned and left his seat, With his back to Li Zhen.

All the monarchs also left their seats, turned around, and turned their backs to Li Zhen, to prove that they did not interfere with Li Zhen's choice.

Fei'er and Ye Shuangshuang rushed to the table, each picked up an object on the table, and shook it in front of Li Zhen. Li Zhen was very happy to see him, but he didn't reach out.Fei'er and Ye Shuangshuang changed another object, and swayed in front of Li Zhen again, Li Zhen became more happy, giggled, stretched out his hand, grabbed Ye Shuangshuang's hand, patted the bottom of Yuxi, and the remaining ink ink Stained with little hands.

Fei'er and Ye Shuangshuang laughed, and Fei'er blurted out: "Everyone, look back!"

Everyone turned their heads, and Su Zhongming also turned his head, but saw Li Zhen's little hands were red like fire, and hurried back to the table: "What did he catch? The little hands are so red! Could it be...!"

Fei'er and Ye Shuangshuang nodded.

Jialing King Qianqin couldn't help but said: "It seems that it is really destined. In the next 18 years, we will take turns to be the regent!"

Khan Zuomu Haiya of the Turo Kingdom joked: "Okay, ok, lords of various countries take turns to be regents every day! Hahaha!"

Liu Yinghe, the king of Guangling, replied, "How can I do it every day? Even if I rush, I can't keep up with such a shift. It's better to have a shift every seven days, starting with King Wen first, and the rest will be decided by lottery!"

This is a good idea, and everyone agreed.

Yingqing opened his lips: "Since the monarchs have decided to abandon the contract and decide to 'unify the world into one', Qingluan City will be the witness, and the monarchs will sign and seal it."

After the chapter fell, Yanyan wrote the decision he had heard on the booklet, and then all the monarchs signed and sealed it one by one.After that, the lively meeting ended. Everyone chatted and laughed, and left Zhanluan Pagoda.

end

Su Zhongming, as the lord of the Kingdom of Wen and the lord of Qingluan City, first watched the crowd leave by sea boat as the host, then turned around, but saw that Li Xuan was still there, and asked curiously: "How? Send me back to Wen first. country, or go back to Shaole country by yourself?"

Li Xuan replied without hesitation: "Accompany you back to Wen Country first, and I will return to Cangtian Peninsula in the future."

Su Zhongming smiled softly: "You have a conscience." Zhang Luo took the child from Ye Shuang's hands, bid farewell to the elders and others, and then walked to the ship with Li Xuan.

After only taking three steps, Su Zhongming turned his head again, and took a last look at the tall Zhanluan Pagoda. However, the moment his eyes fell on the third floor of the pagoda, he saw an old man from the observation window. He stroked his gray beard and gave him a benevolent smile, and then disappeared like a cloud of smoke.

Su Zhongming was startled immediately, quickly rubbed his eyes, and then looked at that place carefully.

Fei'er was curious and asked, "What happened to the city lord?"

Su Zhongming pointed to the third floor of Zhanluan Pagoda, and said calmly: "Just now, I saw Mr. Xuanwen standing there. I wonder if it was my illusion?"

Just because of this sentence, all the elders laughed loudly, and one of them replied: "The City Lord is not mistaken, the person he saw is indeed He Mao."

Su Zhongming was surprised: "I only saw him once, but since I came here, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I can't find him anywhere in Qingluan City. It's really strange. Could it be that he has been traveling all over the world?"

Yingqing opened his lips: "He Mao's whereabouts, including life and death, even we can't know, but he knows everything the city lord has done, so the city lord can rest assured. Since I saw it just now, maybe there will be someone else in the future. chance to see you."

After hearing this, Su Zhongming couldn't help but look at Zhanluan Pagoda again.

Li Xuansheng was afraid that he would delay the time, so he reminded: "It's time to leave."

Only then did Su Zhongming look away, turned around, and followed Li Xuan onto the ship, returning to Wenguo.

Half a month later, all the monarchs gathered at the Zhanluan Pagoda to discuss matters, and finally named the great dynasty as 'Taisho', and changed the countries into prefectures. The princess of the county, the son of the former lord was the prince of the county, and then selected talents from the courts of various countries to enter the Taisho court.

As for the Dazheng King's City, after divination by a fortuneteller built by Shuiling in Qingluan City, it was pointed out that Geyun Kingdom is the most suitable place to build the capital, so various countries invested in the construction of the King's City and named it 'Pingjing'.

A year later, when Pingjing was built, Su Zhongming moved his family to Pingjing. Since Pingjing is located in the original royal city of Geyun Kingdom—[-] miles west of Hongdu, it is not too far away, and it is very convenient to come and go. "Senior sister's house is next door" and often took Li Zhen to He Xiang's house in Shangyuan to eat and drink.

Two years later, Shangyuan Hexiang gave birth to a boy, named Hongli, who played and studied with Li Zhen. Although Shangyuan Hexiang was a mother, he still held a pair of soap and sparse swords and competed with Su Zhongming. .

Because Li Xuan lives in Shaole and is busy with Shaole's political affairs, he only rushes back to reunite every year for the big ceremony and Li Zhen's birthday. When Su Zhongming is lonely, he can only learn swordsmanship, tea ceremony and flower arrangement with Shangyuan Hexiang, or listen to Tianling played a good song.

Today, the two met again in the mountains to exchange swords.

Shangyuan He Xiang only asked, "Is your blade sharp enough?" and ran towards Su Zhongming with Zao Shu's two swords, like a flying swallow. Su Zhongming just grasped the single sword, but when he looked up, he saw her in front of him, quickly raised the sword and took a step back .

Shangyuan Hexiang smiled confidently, drew his knives quickly, and threw one of the knives into the mud. Holding the other knife in both hands, he slashed at Su Zhongming. The intersecting white blades shone in the sunlight, which was very dazzling, but Su Zhongming didn't Impressed, the moves are also exceptionally neat, more proficient than back then.

The figures of the two sparred, like two white cranes fighting in the water, fluttering in the breeze. After a long time, dripping with sweat, Shangyuan Hexiang pierced Su Zhongming's armpit with a saber. Yuan Hexiang's hair strands.

After that, the two figures stopped.

Shangyuan He Xiang smiled lightly, it turned out that the tip of the knife had pierced the clothes under Su Zhongming's armpit.

However, Su Zhongming was not inferior to her, he let go of one hand, only held the knife with his right hand, and turned around, Shangyuan Hexiang was stunned suddenly - the hairband broke, and the long hair was dredged like a dammed waterfall , scattered down.

Su Zhongming asked: "Among us, who wins?"

Shangyuan Hexiang lowered his hand holding the knife, turned around, and faced him: "It's a tie, I also punctured your clothes." Then he changed the title in an uproar and asked, "When will your man come back?" ?”

Su Zhongming replied: "I don't know. He only comes back about twice a year."

Shangyuan He Xiang asked again: "Then have you ever regretted it?"

Su Zhongming confessed: "It is true that I have regretted it, and I often complain about him, but feelings are like water, and you can't get it back after being spilled. Since you have loved for so many years, it is impossible to turn back. I only hope that the sky will make it happen." I have fulfilled my wish, so that I can grow old with him forever."

Shangyuan He Xiang only understated: "What if it is fate?"

Su Zhongming said: "I'm just an ordinary person, I can't defeat fate, but I will live strong, even if I can't wait, I will live happily."

Zhang Luo, he raised his head, looked at the melting clouds in the sky, and the sun that was about to set in the west, a warm smile hung on the corner of his lips, and then he lowered his eyes, that smile was still hanging on the corner of his lips.

Five years later.

In the new year of the first lunar month, just before dawn, every household has already got up early, sweeping the snow with fog lights, shoveling away the snow, and restoring a clean and stable road to the neighborhood.Afterwards, the mist in the sky dissipated and the world became brighter, and every household began to hang festive red lanterns in front of their doors and stores.

After three poles in the sun, more than a dozen luxurious carriages slowly passed through the opened city gates, passed through the passageway of the Pingjing City God, and drove straight into the palace city. They did not stop until the vestibule of the Dragon Head Hall. After being lifted up, the county kings of all counties and their families slowly got out of the carriage.

Su Zhongming and Li Zhen walked side by side, and strode out from the Dragon Head Hall to welcome the distinguished guests, followed by the well-dressed Shi Chaojing, Su Meier and A Lin Tianduo.

When the kings of the counties and their families saw the eight-year-old Li Zhen, they held their hands together, bowed slightly, and said happily: "All blessings, my lord, happy new year!" Then they bowed to Su Zhongming and the three women behind him: "King Wen, everyone, Happy New Year!"

Su Zhongming and the others also raised their hands and saluted politely: "Let's have fun together! Have fun together!" Then he said with a smile, "It's rare that everyone can come over to celebrate the New Year together. If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't be allowed to return!"

The voice of the answer came from behind the princes, and it was very loud: "You are still the same. The Holy Majesty is not yet an adult. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the Holy Majesty, so I will punish you first after the banquet begins. A few cups."

After hearing this, the princes of the county, all the peers happily echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! That's right!"

Su Zhongming coughed softly, looked behind the crowd, and saw Qianqin who was holding the baby in his hands and shaking slightly, making an artificial cradle, and counterattacked with an old-fashioned reason: "You know, I'm too strong to drink, at most I can drink it So far.” Then, imitating his jokes, “You have always been good at drinking, so I’ll let you replace me.”

Qian Qin replied: "Look, it's not easy for me to take care of the second child, and Lian'er also has to take care of the nannie. If I get drunk, who will take care of the children for us?"

Su Zhongming had no choice but to be speechless, squinting his eyes, pretending to be slightly angry, and glared at him.But Qianqin was not to be outdone, and blinked at him, retaliated smartly.

Yang Bin interrupted: "I said, it's quite cold outside, should we let us warm up?"

Su Zhongming came to his senses and quickly apologized: "Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He quickly turned around and led everyone into the hall.

Pass through the inner corridor and enter a spacious hall. Everyone sits around the big stove on soft cushions. Take off the cloak, give it to Gong'e to take to the back and hang it on the clothes hanger.

After a sumptuous reunion dinner at noon, Su Zhongming and the others led the princes and their families to the garden party that had already been prepared. As soon as they stepped out of the Dragon Head Hall, a brocade suit with a waistband was greeted in the vestibule. Tall boy with a sword.

Yang Xinsu, the son of Yang Bin, recognized the young man, and hurriedly let go of Wen Qian's hand, ran forward joyfully, and opened his lips to call him, "Brother Yitian!"

This year, Yitian has grown into a wonderful age of 16 years. With a slight smile, he only raised his hand and rubbed his head lightly, then stepped in front of Su Zhongming, and clapped his hands to report: "Teacher, Cangtian Peninsula sent a New Year's gift." , ask the teacher to check and accept."

As soon as the chapter sound fell, the creaking sound of the wheels came into the vestibule, and then large boxes were loaded into the court one after another.Everyone looked at these big boxes curiously, only Ping Xuan opened his lips first, and said with a light smile: "There are so many boxes, I don't know what kind of gifts are inside?"

Because the Cangtian Peninsula is bordered by Guangling Kingdom, Liu Yinghe couldn't help but say: "If it's a special product, it should be something from the sea, right? For example..."

Before she could finish the chapter, Pingxuan happily added: "Sea crabs and shrimps? Scallops? All kinds of sea fish? Big squid and big octopus?"

When Wen Qian heard this, she didn't care whether the match between the two of them was true or not, and she happily opened her lips: "That's great! You can add a seafood feast to the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Su Zhongming was afraid that the actual gift was not like this, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Whether it is seafood or not, I have to see it to know."

Pingxuan blurted out: "I block seafood!"

Wen Qian followed up and said, "I also block seafood!"

Lian Er laughed and said, "I also hope it's seafood."

The two little princesses, A Lin Tianduo and Su Meier, looked at each other happily, and said in unison, "It would be great if it was seafood!"

After hearing this, Liu Yinghe and Chu Yinyin couldn't help but chuckle.

Yu Zhuzhen moved her chin with one hand, and couldn't help saying: "It seems that women like seafood very much?"

Yang Bin crossed his arm and lightly bumped Yu Zhuzhen to show his objection: "Who said there are only women? I also like seafood! And I also ate spicy seafood soup in Luomeizhuang!"

Su Zhongming had no choice but to say: "It says it's seafood! Come and have a look with me! If it's not, you'll be fined with wine for the New Year's Eve dinner...three bowls!" He pointed out three fingers deliberately.When the chapter fell, he stepped forward, picked a box at random, tore off the paper seal, and simply lifted the lid. The people behind him stretched their necks to look into the bottom of the box, and it turned out that the box was full of crabs. The box was also covered with layers of thick ice.

The girls hugged each other happily, only Yang Bin still remembered to praise Liu Yinghe: "You really hit the mark!"

Liu Yinghe smiled brightly, and made a gesture of scissors.

Su Zhongming opened another box, which was also full of red-shelled lobsters, and everyone behind him cheered endlessly.

Thinking that the rest of the boxes were probably the same, Su Zhongming stopped checking, and only announced: "It seems that tonight is destined to be a feast of Man-Han dinner with seafood."

Shi Chaojing immediately ordered the eunuchs on duty: "Come here! Send these seafood to the imperial dining room quickly. At the New Year's banquet tonight, steam the ones that should be steamed, make soup if they should be soup, and roast them on skewers if they should be grilled." !" Then he took Li Zhen's little hand with a smile, and went to the garden party with everyone.

The imperial garden is full of red lanterns, divided into several stalls like a market, such as guessing lantern riddles, hoops, shooting pieces, blindfolded drumming, reciting poems by drawing lots, saying tongue twisters, kicking shuttlecocks, jumping rope, etc. Wait, nothing is missing.

No matter men, women, old or young, everyone chooses the kind of game they like, and adults also bring their children to play together. They all have a great time and show off their victory prizes to each other.Su Zhongming and Yang Bin compared hoops, ten times in one breath, turned around by chance, and saw three children taking turns kicking shuttlecocks in the distance, it was Li Zhen, Hongli and Yang Xinsu, and Shi Chaojing was with them.

Looking at Li Zhen and Yang Xinsu, he couldn't help remembering the past between himself and Li Xuan. Although he didn't receive the news of Li Xuan's return, he didn't have too many regrets after receiving the gift, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, showing a smile.

Near dusk, everyone was exhausted from playing, so they came to the open-air stage to sit and rest and enjoy hot tea while watching opera.Su Zhongming was in a daze for five consecutive acts, unable to concentrate on enjoying it, and he didn't know that the sixth act began to be staged, and it was a martial arts show with 20 people.

One after another somersaults, everyone applauded, but when the 20 people somersaulted and formed a tall arhat formation and retreated one after another, there was one more person in the middle out of thin air, which made people applaud. Everyone couldn't help being stunned, and Su Zhongming also reacted, following everyone's gaze, looking curiously.

The man turned his head slowly and walked to the front of the stage. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw his face. Su Zhongming was also very surprised. He stood up slowly and stared at the man on the stage in disbelief.

Yaque was silent for a moment, only Yang Bin blurted out, broke the atmosphere, and shouted to Su Zhongming: "Hey! Why are you still in a daze? Li Xuan is back, why don't you hurry over and give him a hug?"

Su Zhongming's face was flushed with shame, he didn't move, he just stammered: "I..."

Li Xuan didn't say anything, just raised his hands, put them in front of him, and made a heart to Su Zhongming. When Su Zhongming saw it, he didn't want to refuse. .

Su Zhongming then trotted forward, looked at Li Xuan, and asked with concern: "How long will you stay this time?"

Li Xuan replied bluntly: "I'm not going back!
