In the quiet Hall of Lovesickness, a man dressed in white, with a sword hanging from both sides of his waist, and a strange mask on his face turned his back to Yun Ji, and laughed loudly on his back. When he stopped laughing, the man blurted out: "Fate! Such a fate! The new city lord of Qingluan City is actually my good junior! This is so interesting!"

The man in black beside Yunji replied, "Do you want to go back quickly and report to the master that the new city lord of Qingluan City has appeared?" It’s not too late to report the Luan Sword once you have it.” He turned around, faced Yun Ji, and asked, “Have you ever seen Su Zhongming with a sword on him?”

Yun Ji shook her head lightly.

The man in white thought for a while and guessed: "Could it be that he hid the sword somewhere else?" The man in black spoke up and offered advice to the man in white: "Why don't you let your subordinates take people to his residence to search for it tonight?" ?”

The man in white thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay! You will take someone to search tonight! But, be careful, don't let him or even the people in the palace find out." The man in black knelt down on one knee and simply He responded neatly: "Here! This subordinate must be careful, please rest assured, Young Master!"

In the middle of the night, five men in black flew into the Changning Hall like a whirlwind. At this time, Su Zhongming was already lying peacefully on the bed, and the surrounding area was covered by tall curtains. He couldn't see the black shadows flying around outside at all. , He put his hands on the back of his head, stared at the ceiling above, thinking about something.

Want to brush your teeth, but don't have toothpaste and a toothbrush, so you can only gargle with salt water.

Want to take a shower but don't have soap and modern towels and have to scrub with petal water.

I want to write a diary, but I don't have a ballpoint pen, so I can only use a brush.

Want entertainment but don't have a computer, TV, radio...

……

Alas, as expected, the first day is still hard to get used to. I usually play games or watch TV series at this point in time. The ancient time and space are really enough to keep healthy, but I can’t sleep now, so I might as well count sheep.

Thinking of this, Su Zhongming opened his mouth slightly and murmured: "One sheep, two sheep, three sheep..."

The five black-clothed men outside the curtain rolled silently, landed in mid-air, then rose and rolled to mid-air, constantly flipping things in the room. The speed was so fast that at first glance, they looked like several balls. Hurricane was wandering around, and after searching for a while, they looked at each other to indicate whether they had found the Qingluan Sword, but unfortunately, everyone shook their heads.

Unable to find the sword, the five men in black rolled in the air together, and flew out of the open window empty-handed, never to return.

Su Zhongming still didn't notice that there were five men in black coming from outside the bed. He turned over and turned his side outward, but he still couldn't sleep. While he was awake, he couldn't help but think about how to play after dawn.After using his brain, within a short while, he thought of Li Xuan, Marquis of Dingxue.From the top of the wilderness mountain to Jinghongdu, in the past few days, he obtained all food, drink and even use from Dingxuehou. Logically speaking, this can be regarded as friendship.

This palace city is cold and impersonal. There are palace fights every day. If you live in the palace for one day, you will feel very excited. If you live in the second day, you will lose interest. If you live in the third day, you will be bored to death. , but that guy's Hou Mansion is different, because the place is not too big, so all the interesting things are gathered together, it must be very fun!

Su Zhongming thought about it in his heart, and made a decision on this - good!Go to Dingxuehou Mansion tomorrow!

Yawning lightly, he slowly closed his eyes, continued counting sheep and tried to fall asleep.

At the Hall of Acacia in the middle of the night, the candles were still swaying in the wind. The man in white was sitting on the armchair very calmly, the strange mask on his face had never been taken off. When the five men in black came back, they all knelt there. In front of the man in white, the leader opened his mouth to report: "The subordinate is incompetent. I searched the boy's residence but did not find the sword."

The man in white didn't change his attitude, and replied aloud: "Maybe, he really didn't carry that sword... It seems that we underestimated the people in Qingluan City. The sword must be in someone else's hands."

The leading man in black replied: "In this way, wouldn't we have been waiting here for more than half a year in vain?"

The man in white snorted, disapprovingly: "Just take it out for fun, anyway, even if you go back empty-handed, the head will not punish you, what are you afraid of!"

The man in black then asked, "Then shall we withdraw from Wen Country now?"

The man in white replied: "Why are you walking so fast? There is still a good show to come! Didn't we overwhelm King Wen? Maybe we can take this opportunity to get the country of Wen. It will be a great achievement at that time." What about the piece! The head will be very happy."

Hearing this, the man in black suddenly realized, and boasted: "Young master is wise!"

The man in white smiled triumphantly, and began to mutter to himself: "Little brother, let's come and compete to see if it's you or me who won the country of Wen!"

At dawn, the wind was sunny, Su Zhongming left Changning Hall generously, got in a car, went outside the palace, arrived at Dingxuehou's Mansion, got off the car, entered the mansion, the butler led him to the small garden, far away, He saw Ding Xuehou walking along the small lake with a very elegantly dressed woman.

Su Zhongming pouted slightly, feeling a little unhappy: What a coincidence!With such a fine weather, he really knows how to choose a time to fall in love at home!Had I known this earlier, I would have come tomorrow instead!I'm afraid it's going to be a light bulb now...

The butler walked towards them as before, and announced to Ding Xuehou: "Master Hou, the prince is here." Ding Xuehou was stunned for a moment, looked forward, saw the young man standing alone under the tree, and hurriedly strode away In the past, I didn't bring the women around me.The woman also glanced at the boy, and walked over with a smile.

"I didn't notify you when the prince came, and I wasn't prepared at all."

"It's okay, I'm just here to play."

Su Zhongming still didn't care, he looked at the woman who followed him, he was so dumb, he forgot to say hello to her.The woman smiled, opened her lips and said, "Zhong Ming, do you know me?"

Su Zhongming pointed at her and asked curiously, "Are you also from the palace?"

After hearing this, the woman laughed a few times before saying: "I am your cousin, the Holy Majesty's own sister!"

Su Zhongming was slightly startled: She is the only biological sister of King Wen, Ding Xuehou's fiancée—Huirou? !I always thought that she would be the beautiful princess with the most beautiful appearance in Wen country, but she was not outstanding, no wonder no man took the initiative to marry her, Ding Xuehou really suffered a big loss!

After waiting for a while, when Su Zhongming couldn't call her, Princess Shengshi reminded herself: "Zhongming, why don't you call me aunt?" "Gu... aunt." The woman immediately showed a satisfied expression.

Ding Xuehou looked at him straight, and then he said softly: "Go inside and sit down? I'll ask someone to serve tea."

Su Zhongming waved his hand and replied with a smile: "No, I'm here just for fun, to see what's interesting, just take a stroll."

Ding Xuehou immediately turned to Princess Shengshi and persuaded: "Huirou, you go back first, it's rare for the prince to visit, so I have to accompany him for a walk." Princess Shengshi glanced at him, with a little reluctance in her eyes, but still Nodding his head, he left the small garden alone.As soon as Princess Shengshi left, Ding Xuehou immediately led Su Zhongming into the garden for a stroll.

"Why are you suddenly interested in coming to my house to play?"

"The palace is really boring, it's big, and the road is long."

"Why don't you go to the Royal Garden? It's much more beautiful than mine."

"How do I know where it is? I just remember that I have never been to this place, so I came here."

Dingxuehou led Su Zhongming to the flower hall and tea room in the front yard, just halfway through the road, Su Zhongming was immediately attracted by a solitary house not far away, stopped, raised his right hand to point to it, and asked aloud: "What is that for? "

Ding Xuehou looked in the direction he pointed, and then replied without hesitation: "It's my study." Su Zhongming became more interested when he heard it, and immediately asked: "Really? I can go and see it." See?" Hearing this, Ding Xuehou hesitated.

"Since it's a study room, there must be a lot of good-looking books in it. It's not important for me to take a look." Seeing that he was so stingy, Su Zhongming also became unhappy.Seeing this, Ding Xuehou had no choice but to reluctantly agree. As soon as he agreed, Su Zhongming was happy again, and strode towards the lonely house without his invitation.

Ding Xuehou was very worried and hurriedly followed behind him.

In front of the solitary house, Su Zhongming pushed open the door, stepped over the threshold and walked in. When he raised his eyes, he immediately saw rows of tall bookshelves, just like a modern library. He counted them, and there were fifteen of them in total. , went in and took a look, it seemed that every shelf was full of books, and the high books covered the light, so even though the sun was shining outside, it was still as dark as dusk.

Ding Xuehou carefully wrote the labels on each shelf, and divided them into categories one by one. Su Zhongming only needs to glance at the labels to know what kind of books are hidden on them.

Su Zhongming counted unofficial histories, strange chronicles, official histories, military books and miscellaneous books in detail. When he reached the end, suddenly the front suddenly became clear—it was a slightly wider open space, and there was a low table there, and beside the table stood Lanterns were erected, and pens, ink, paper, inkstones, pots and small cups were placed on the table.

The clear sound of boots came from behind him, Su Zhongming turned his head and said to him: "You really look like a scholar who wants to be the number one scholar." Ding Xuehou didn't answer this sentence, but urged him: "Have you finished reading it? After reading it, please ask the prince to leave here."

The more he urged, the more Su Zhongming refused to comply. He blurted out: "No, I just checked what books are available. Since I came in, of course I have to borrow a book to go back." Ding Xuehou was dissatisfied, and replied : "There is Jiwen Pavilion in the palace, and there are many books there, why do I need it here?"

Su Zhongming said clearly: "The place where the books are collected in the palace will definitely not store folk books. Even if there are, they will only be clean books, not the complete ones. You must have the chapters of the complete ones here!"

Dingxuehou was helpless, and asked him: "Then what book do you want to borrow?" Su Zhongming thought for a while, and opened his mouth: "Are there any... books about Wenguo, or even countries other than Wenguo?" Dingxuehou was helpless He turned around abruptly, walked down, and walked into one of the bookshelves. After a while, he came out with a book and handed it to Su Zhongming.

Su Zhongming received it in his hand, and when he looked at the title of the book on the front, he immediately saw that it was "San Guo Qi Zhi".This must be a book from this world, Su Zhongming thought so, he was secretly happy, said 'thank you' to Ding Xuehou, and walked out.

Dingxuehou heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at a corner of one of the bookshelves in the dark, then followed him out, out of the house, closed the door tightly, and led Su Zhongming to the flower hall and tea room.Su Zhongming took a sip of jasmine tea, put down the cup, feeling unsatisfied, so he asked Ding Xuehou: "Do you have pastries at home?"

Ding Xuehou glanced at him, pretended to be unhappy and said: "You have so many requests!" His mouth said so, but in the end he still called people to pass on the mignonette cake as he wanted.Su Zhongming unceremoniously reached out and grabbed one, took a big bite, the crumbs stuck to his lips, he didn't even notice it, Ding Xuehou looked at his lips like this, and was a little lost in thought.

After eating two pieces of cake and drinking a few sips of tea, Su Zhongming took the time to talk: "I heard that His Majesty is seriously ill?"

Dingxuehou replied: "It's a strange disease, even the imperial doctor can't cure it."
