Qingluan City Lord has a lot of broken things

Yitian couldn't answer, he just frowned slightly, and it was almost dusk when the four of them left the meditation room and followed the little monk to the empty meditation room.At dinner time, the four of them also ate in the fasting room like the monks in the monastery.

It is a monastery, and the food is naturally simple tea and light rice. Su Zhongming held the bowl and glanced at the three vegetarian dishes on the table. He saw kale, winter melon and eggplant, but there was really no minced meat.He only tasted the kale a little bit, but it was still bland and tasteless, so he couldn't help but look back at Ding Xuehou who was sitting beside him, seeing him eat and eat vegetables with relish, he immediately felt amazing.

Yitian whispered to everyone, "I'm not afraid of eating vegetarian food for a day. If I eat vegetarian food for a year or even a lifetime, I think I will go to see the Buddha earlier than anyone else." Su Zhongming smiled, "Originally, I have no appetite to eat. Yes, let you put it this way, I would rather eat a vegetarian diet like this for a day." After finishing the chapter, he happily picked up the vegetables.

At night, Su Zhongming and Yi Tian, ​​one big and one small, slept on the same couch. Yi Tian turned over and ducked into Su Zhongming's murderous hall. He wiped away the raindrops of sweat with his hands, patted Yitian, and complained in a low voice, "Damn child! Why are you sleeping so poorly that you rolled over to me?"

But the little ghost slept deeply and was not woken up. Su Zhongming ruthlessly pushed him aside, sat up, and scanned the room under the moonlight, but Ding Xuehou was not found.A nightmare made him terrified, and he couldn't fall asleep even after lying down, so Su Zhongming had no choice but to get off the couch and go for a walk outside the house.

The Zen room is close to the backyard, and you can hear the sound of the waterfall pouring down in the backyard. Su Zhongming walked there, intending to go there to calm down. Just when he got close to the waterfall, he heard the sound of the water mixed with the sound of the clear flute. .

Who is bragging?Is the song still so sad?Su Zhongming walked up quickly with doubts in his heart, and stopped only when he saw a figure.Xiaoqu was interrupted by the sound of his footsteps, the man in front slowly turned his head, through the moonlight, Su Zhongming vaguely saw his facial features, slightly surprised: "It's you?! Why don't you sleep well, come here to play Xiaoxiao?" ?”

"It's nothing, I just heard a piece of music in my dream, and I remembered that I always carried this flute with me, so I wanted to play it for no reason. What is it if you don't get up." Zhang Luo, Ding Xuehou raised Zuo Shouwu to hold his forehead, with a painful expression on his face.

Su Zhongming was stunned, unable to say anything for a while, Ding Xuehou was silent for a while, then slowly put down his left hand, and asked him, "Why don't you sleep? Do you like dark circles?" Su Zhongming couldn't help but let out a "poof" when he heard it ’, lightly hitting his forehead with his hand, and blurted out unhappily, “You are the one who likes dark circles!”

Dingxuehou pawed at the guard he was slapping on his body, and suddenly remembered a question in his heart, "By the way, you were born with the blood of the royal family, so how did you get involved with the Jianghu sect?" Su Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and then responded Come over to the "Jianghu Sect" in his chapter, and answer: "You mean... Qingluan City?"

He withdrew his hand, scratched his head, and continued, "I don't know about this, the person who brought me here asked me to be the lord of the city. I’ve been looking at flowers in the fog, and I can’t figure it out.”

There was a cool wind with a few splashes blowing head-on, and some white petals drifted down with the wind, which looked very beautiful.In the backyard of this temple, Su Zhongming didn't see any flowers planted anywhere. He guessed that these petals were probably wild tree flowers falling from above.

"Look, Li Xuan..." Su Zhongming stretched out his hand to pick it up, a few flakes passed through his fingertips, and were quickly blown away by the wind.Ding Xuehou gently held his hand, opened it, and when he retracted it, there was already a white petal lying in Su Zhongming's palm.Su Zhongmingwo clenched his fists and said, "I didn't say I wanted it, so why did you give it to me?"

Ding Xuehou replied earnestly, "I'll give it to you. I'll give you whatever you want, even at the expense of my life." Su Zhongming was slightly astonished, and looked down at the bamboo flute in his right hand, and asked tentatively, "What do you want?" Can you give me your flute as well?" Ding Xuehou held up the flute, put it in the moonlight to look at it, and declined, "Anything else is fine except it."

"Why?" Su Zhongming was puzzled.Ding Xuehou replied calmly, "When I was 16 years old, once I lost my way in the woods. An old man showed me the way and gave me this flute, saying that it was the most important thing for me. things." Su Zhongming was even more puzzled, "It's so strange...does that old gentleman know you?"

Ding Xuehou shook his head lightly, indicating that he didn't know, then put away the flute, and started to walk, "Go back, at least I have to sleep for a while, otherwise I will really have dark circles in the morning..." Su Zhongming pondered for a moment, Get up and follow him.

The next day was the Cherry Blossom Ceremony, the four people got up early in the morning, followed Monk Jianqing to leave Jieshuang Temple, and headed for the capital of Huangyuan.They passed through the city gates together with the joyous people, but unlike the common people, they didn't have to go to the five open places, they just went straight to the forbidden road and entered the palace of robbery.

At this time, the ceremony was still being prepared, and King Huang Yuan hid himself in the small incense pavilion filled with fragrant mist, and did not see outsiders for the time being.An elderly father-in-law in the palace led the four of them to the door of the small pavilion, and raised his voice in front of the door to report, "Princess, the eminent monks of Jieshuang Temple and foreign guests are here to seek an audience." When Su Zhongming heard this, he was very puzzled: didn't you say Do you want to see King Huang Yuan?How did you see the princess?

After a while, a girl's voice came from the room, "Let them in." The four immediately stepped into the small pavilion, and saw Monk Qing respectfully salute the figure inside the bead curtain, "The poor monk has seen Princess Pingxuan." A girl's voice came from inside, "Why did the master bring foreign guests here today?"

"It's just because of fate. I really don't know why. I also ask the princess to let them watch the ceremony on the tall building because they are foreign guests." Monk Jianqing replied, also pleading.The girl's voice came again, "Which country are they from?" Monk Jianqing told him calmly, "They are all from Wen country."

The people inside the curtain were very happy when they heard that they were from a neighboring country, "Oh? So it's from a neighboring country. With your extraordinary appearance, you should have a lot of background, right?" Said Zhang Jian, the bead curtain was gently lifted by the maid Then, a girl who was eight or nine years old came out from the inside, still wearing a silver collar with a long life lock on her neck, and an exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist, wearing a small jacket embroidered with bat patterns and auspicious clouds. Dark clothes, black hair curled up like a boy, wearing flowers and silver hairpins, but there is no trace of childish vitality in the eyes.

She...is that Princess Pingxuan? !Su Zhongming lowered his head and stared at her with wide eyes in astonishment. What surprised him was only the young and mature air exuded by the girl.The little princess raised her head, and all of you only paid attention to Su Zhongming. At that moment, the little red lips parted, showing a kind smile to Su Zhongming.

Su Zhongming looked at it, full of doubts, and saw the little princess walking in front of him, and said from between her lips, "This brother, I can consider other people's chapters..." At the end, she raised a round fan to cover her mouth. Nose, squinting eyes do not answer.Su Zhongming guessed what she meant, and begged: "They are all guests. The princess is like this. It is really unfair. Please forgive me. If the princess can't accommodate, I'm afraid I can only ask your majesty."

As soon as the chapter was finished, the little princess hid her mouth and laughed, and replied: "This is the order of King Huangyuan." Su Zhongming was puzzled, "We have never met King Huangyuan, so why did it become his order?" The little princess removed the round fan, and said seriously, "Because she is me, and I am her——I am the King of Huangyuan!"

Su Zhongming turned pale with shock, "But... aren't you a princess?" Ping Xuan replied with a smile, "You don't know, I am the Huangyuan King for the time being, because the real Huangyuan King, that is, my grandfather, is now only He was seriously ill and did not die, but he has decided to let me inherit the throne after his death."

"Aren't there princes and princes in the palace, and the princess should be entrusted with this important task?" Su Zhongming blurted out even more incomprehensible.Pingxuan sighed, "It's all my grandfather's self-willedness to blame. There are indeed princes and princes in the palace, but they are plotting against each other in order to fight for the throne. My grandfather lost trust in them and ordered me to take this responsibility as a last resort."

Let a child inherit the throne, there should be her assistants in the court, right?Su Zhongming couldn't help thinking.At this time, a palace lady rushed in, knelt in front of Pingxuan, and said anxiously, "It's not good! Princess! The female priest in charge of dancing the 'Jiuzhong Yaomojue' just heard that she hurt her foot and can't dance today. Already!"

Hearing this, Ping Xuan blurted out in disbelief, "What! This...how should this be done?" She also became anxious, "Can someone else be replaced? Can the palace singing and dancing female officer be replaced?" The maid replied: " No, the female officials in the palace can only dance the Ruan dance on weekdays, and the sacrificial dance must be performed by those who know swordsmanship!"

Pingxuan wandered around the room anxiously, looked back at Su Zhongming, and asked him, "Does this brother know swordsmanship?" Su Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Yes, yes, but..." Pingxuan was overjoyed, Before he could finish his chapter, he made a bold decision, "Then I will thank you.——Come here! Take this guest down and change into a woman's attire, and then bring him to the priestess, she will know what to do of."

Before Su Zhongming could refuse in the future, he was surrounded by several people who came in, and was dragged out.He only had time to shout, "The two of them are better at swordsmanship than me, even masters, why don't you call them me instead! Hey——" Ping Xuan looked up at Yi Yeqing and the man he was referring to. Li Xuan, Marquis of Dingxue, sighed inwardly: He looks tall, but he is also really burly, and his expression is really stiff. He can tell he is a man at a glance. Wearing women's clothing will definitely pollute my eyes...

"Seeing that your friends have made such sacrifices for the Huangyuan Festival, I will reluctantly agree to your request and let you watch the ceremony with me." Ping Xuan looked back and suddenly changed his focus.

Su Zhongming was forced to change into women's clothes, surrounded by several people, and sloughed in front of the priestess.The priestess was sitting on the chair, and there was a strong smell of medicinal wine coming from her right ankle. Without saying anything, she began to instruct Su Zhongming on what to do, and even asked Su Zhongming to perform in front of her interview. More than an hour.

The gongs and drums for the opening altar of the ceremony sounded, and someone came to ask the female priest to go up to the altar, and the female priest asked someone to bring Su Zhongming over, while she still sat on the chair to heal her foot injury.Su Zhongming was forced to go. He originally came here to be an audience, but by accident, he got on the altar to perform a ritual program in front of tens of thousands of Huangyuan people.

He raised his head to look at the tall building, and there was not only Princess Pingxuan in front of the railing, but also his students, his courtiers, his... He couldn't help lowering his eyes, and when he saw Ding Xuehou's serious eyes staring at him, he closed his eyes. The pods are hot.Fortunately, he didn't have a blank mind. On the altar, he did his best, and when he got off the altar, he quickly put on the women's clothing.

He only took off his outer robe, and was about to take off his deep clothes, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps, Su Zhongming turned his head and looked at Ding Xuehou, the man's face was very calm, which made him calm down too.He opened his mouth: "What are you doing here? I've entrusted the damn clothes. After changing back to the original clothes, I'll look for you right away."

Ding Xuehou was very calm, and his tone was very calm, "Of course I came here to see what my wife's women's clothing looks like." This was the chapter Su Zhongming didn't like to hear the most. Touching Dingxuehou's fierce body, he kept pulling him out, "Get out quickly, I want to change it!"

Dingxuehou refused to leave, and acted steadily, "I didn't do anything bad, why did I have to get out?" Su Zhongming was still molting him vigorously, and roared, "I want a wife!" Dingxuehou faced She didn't change her face, "You are not a woman, so there is nothing you can't see, I can't hinder you even if I stand here."

Su Zhongming slapped him across the face, and blurted out, "Bastard! Don't you know that there is a saying in the world that 'men and women can't play the piano'? Get out quickly, or I will sever ties with you!" Another slack.

Dingxue Houwu looked at the spot on his face, and after leaving a sentence, he turned around and left, "I'll settle the score with you at night." Su Zhongming dismissed it, and said in his heart: "I won't break with you at night, How do you settle the accounts? Hmph..." Zhang Luo lifted Shenshang's clothes to a crystal light and put them back on the original men's robes, feeling that there were a lot of muddy words.

Summoned by Pingxuan, Su Zhongming followed the people in the palace to the Chunse Palace on foot. Pingxuan stepped forward to hold his guard, and said with a smile: "I have never cared about the affairs of the kings of neighboring countries carefully. Brother, you are the King of Wen, I am really ashamed, if I had known earlier, I would not have wronged my brother to replace the nun."

Su Zhongming laughed, "I like to travel, and I'm afraid it would be disadvantageous to wander around with my identity, so I deliberately concealed my identity." Ping Xuan led his guard to the honorary seat, and replied, "Huang Yuan and the people of Wen Kingdom Drinking the water of the Amo River together, since this is the case, the two countries should become allies, and during my reign, I am willing to become brothers with the Wen Kingdom, to communicate and do business with each other, and not to stand on fire."

Such a free 'lunch', Su Zhongming should be very happy, and nodded in agreement, but the little princess suddenly turned Zhang Yi, "It's just that I have a headache that I haven't been able to solve so far. If brother can help Not only are Huang Yuan and Wen Guo brothers, but also kings and kings are brothers and sisters, as evidenced by Huang Yuan's royal family."

Su Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What is so difficult?" Pingxuan confessed, "To tell you the truth, the Eastern Guangling Kingdom has a vast land and abundant resources. Our country wants to form an alliance with Guangling and do business with them, but because there is no convenient road, King Guang has been hesitant and refused to agree, if this matter is resolved, it will benefit the Three Kingdoms."

"Is there no waterway to connect Huangyuan and Guangling?" Su Zhongming asked.Pingxuan immediately ordered someone to fetch the map, put it on the table, pointed to the map, and explained Su Zhongming's doubts, "Brother, please see, the source of the Amo River is in the Niansu Yali Mountain, the Daxue Mountain in the north of the Tuluo Kingdom. It flows through the land of Guangling, and the river flowing through the land of Guangling is called the Wuhuang River. It just passes through the border land of Huangyuan. If Huangyuan wants to do business with Guangling, it must first cross the Amo River, and then ride a car and ride a horse. It takes a hundred miles to get to Lihuadu on the Wuhuang River!"

"It's such a waste of time." Su Zhongming couldn't help sighing, glanced at the map, and asked for an ink pen from the bottom of his heart. Ping Xuan agreed, and immediately ordered someone to pass a pen stained with ink.Su Zhongming added a touch between the Amo River and the Wuhuang River on the map, like a bridge spanning the two rivers.

Ping Xuan took a look and was puzzled, "What is the purpose of brother doing this? Why do you want to add something here?" Su Zhongming replied with a smile, "I just remembered a historical story. Princess, if you are willing to use prisoners in the prison, press this An artificial canal will be dug between the two rivers, so that the Amo River and the Wuhuang River can communicate with each other, then the mutual trade between Huangyuan and Guangling will not be a problem."

"Canal...?!" Ping Xuan, who heard this word for the first time, was stunned. "Brother, you mean to dig a big ditch in this place to connect the two rivers?" Su Zhongming nodded, "That's right, but the princess must pay attention, you must choose a place with a large river bed for digging, if you choose a place with a narrow river bed for digging, I'm afraid that the water from the Wuhuang River will fill the river bed in large quantities, and waterlogging will inevitably occur, unless... …that narrow riverbed was originally water-poor."

Ping Xuan was very grateful and said, "Thank you brother for your strategy! I will order someone to try it as soon as possible, brother, please rest assured, I will tell the people that this kind of attention is from you, brother."

Su Zhongming didn't care about her guarantee. After all, it was not his patented invention. He just smiled at her and reminded her again, "I said just now that the prisoners in the prison are required to dig canals. The princess must not build a canal." Let’s pull innocent people to do this job.” Pingxuan agreed, “Brother must treat the people of Wen Kingdom like family. Well, I’ll recruit prisoners from all over the country and send them to the border to dig canals.” After a pause, he asked again, "Brother, if you have anything to add to this strategy, please tell me."

"The flow of the Amo River is from north to southwest, while the flow of the Wuhuang River is from northeast to south. When it is parallel to the canal, it looks like a slanted □□. Not only can the water flow smoothly, but the distance It is also very short, so please try your best to dig this canal according to the word '工'."

"Understood." Pingxuan nodded lightly, and stood up quickly, "I will become brother and sister with Brother Wen Wang today, and I will immediately order someone to tell Grandpa Wang that tomorrow, I will invite my brother to go to the ancestral temple with me to establish a brother-sister relationship. "
