? Said that Bai Yan went back to bed, after taking a bath, it was already time, and the maids prepared the quilts, and then retreated one by one.

"Life is short, enjoy yourself in time" "Think too much and you will regret it later" "Do you trust me?" "If you trust me, you can be with her with peace of mind."

Bai Yan was physically and mentally exhausted, she fell on the bed but couldn't fall asleep, these few words hovered in her heart like a spell.

At dawn, there was a crackling sound in Shan Junxiang's courtyard.Bai Yan pushed the courtyard door lightly, and saw Shan Junxiang in the courtyard chopping firewood in his tunic, with a little boy standing beside him.

It's more than ten in September, and it's late autumn.Especially in the morning, the air was cold, but looking at Shan Junxiang as if it was still summer, he was sweating profusely.

The little boy wanted to come over to say hello, but Bai Yan stopped her. She walked over quietly and watched Shan Junxiang mechanically chop each one.Finally, there was a big pile under his feet. Shan Junxiang put down his axe, wiped off his sweat, and panted to the boy, "I don't want to start a fire to cook."

The boy carried Chai away nonchalantly.After a while, he came back again.

"Master..." The little boy approached and said softly, "The fire is not on."

"I can't light it," Shan Junxiang said fiercely, "If you can't light it, just go and light it until it is lighted. It's useless. What are you doing, why not make wine!"

The little boy looked terrified and ran back in a hurry.

Bai Yan said, "Why bother to embarrass a seven or eight-year-old child, isn't there enough manpower in this mansion?"

"I think when I followed Huaxu back then, I was only five or six years old. Didn't I do everything?" Shan Junxiang put his hips on his hips, "Tell him to cry when he chops firewood, and when he carries water. Hey, if you say so, I'll give it to him." How about a name called Lazy?"

Bai Yan shook her head slightly, and said, "This is a matter between your master and apprentice. How can I say it? But this child is well-behaved and lovable. It would be clumsy to have such a name."

"Alas..." Shan Junxiang resentfully said, "You have read so many poems and books, just pick one at random. I thought the name Chao Xi was quite good, but unfortunately it was used by that masked man!"

"Chaoxi?" Bai Yan suddenly thought of the masked boy in front of the hall, and wondered, "Isn't that person General Sima?"

"Sima An?" Shan Junxiang was taken aback, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt the resemblance.She ignored world affairs for three years, thinking that Sima An was going out as a general, so she didn't take it to heart.She looked at Bai Yan calmly, and Duan Hong, who was closest to Sima An, didn't recognize her, but she saw it at a glance, which showed her subtle observation of daily things, because she said, "Why did Wei Ming ask you to come this time?" of?"

Bai Yan remained silent.

"Do you remember what I said last night?" Shan Junxiang asked, "Do you believe me?"

Bai Yan was silent for a while, then changed the topic and said, "You have been with Hua Xu for many years, and you know that besides alchemy, he also knows other thaumaturgy?"

"Thaumaturgy?" Shan Junxiang sneered, sat down on the edge of the well helplessly and said, "Is there any magic in this world that is more ruthless than a poisonous heart?" Bai Yan evaded, and she had no choice.

The moment she sat down, a light green earring suddenly fell out of her arms.Bai Yan was taken aback, Shan Junxiang quickly picked it up.

When did Shan Junxiang wear such a thing? Although Bai Yan was suspicious, she didn't think too much about it. She just mused, "But I heard that the disciples of Qingyang sect are all masters of thaumaturgy..." Otherwise, Hua Xuyi Without strengths, why should I surpass others and become a national teacher?

Shan Junxiang recovered his thoughts, and he couldn't help but ponder and said, "You suspect that Taoist Feihong and Hua Xu are brothers from the same school? But I have been under Hua Xu for so many years, and I have never heard him talk about any brothers."

Both of them are silent, which is strange.

It was morning remonstrance, and Duan Hongduan sat in the hall.

"Your Majesty Qi, I have found Feihong's trace, and he is fleeing to Chen Kingdom."

Duan Hong only said, "Chase."

"Your Majesty, half a month has passed, and the minister has watched Zhao Chen and has no intention of surrendering."

"We'll discuss this matter later. What else do you have to say?"

……

"Then let's go." Duan Hong got up and left.

The people below you look at me and I look at you, and they return angrily.Only Su Jiali was still standing there, motionless.

"Su general, don't you have something important to play?"

"Alas" Su Jiali sighed heavily, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves, "The beauty is misleading the country!"

But Duan Hong went back to the palace, didn't eat, just took off his belt, kicked off his shoes and lay back on the bed, "Don't let anyone in, otherwise, your heads will be chopped off and hung on the tower!"

The maids in the room didn't dare to say anything after hearing this, and quietly retreated outside.

Duan Hong fell asleep with his head covered.

Said that Duan Hong fell asleep and woke up, woke up and fell asleep again, and I don't know how many hours passed, and finally he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep anymore.She got up and went to the table to pick up a jujube cake. Before she ate it, she heard the sound of arguing outside, and said alertly, "What's the matter?!"

The people outside breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Long live back, Princess Mingyan asks to see you."

Duan Hong shook his hand, unable to make up his mind for a moment.She didn't want to see Bai Yan now, but she didn't want to refuse her, so she hesitated for a while before saying, "Please come in."

"Princess please."

The sound was getting closer and closer, Duan Hong panicked, jumped out of the window and ran away.

It was almost evening, and half the sky was stained red with blood.Under the setting sun, two black horses walked slowly on the street, their shadows stretched long.

"Sir, he said that the people of Liangcheng are not living well. This is probably an exaggeration."

"Young master managed it properly." The Su family said politely.

Duan Hong glanced at him, "I went to the dungeon of Prince Liang's Mansion last night, and found that the layout below there is similar to that of the underground palace, as if it was made by a family."

"The dungeon should be made by Feihong." Su Jiali said, "This man possesses strange magic. Could it be that he was the one who built the underground palace?"

"That's not true." Duan Hong said, "The underground palace is at least 300 years old."

The Su family sighed, and said, "Who would have known that there was an underground palace under the imperial palace when we invaded Linzi? Otherwise, we wouldn't have allowed those remnants of the previous dynasty to come out and make waves, causing disasters for their beauties!"

Hearing this, Duan Hong reined in his horse and turned his head to stare at him.

Su Jiali lowered his head.

Duan Hong looked at him for a while, then looked away, looked forward, and said lightly, "There is a noodle shop in front, eat a bowl of noodles before leaving."

"How much money can such a roadside stall make in a day?" Duan Hong asked Su Jiali while looking at the steaming cauldron while dismounting.

"There are a little more for a family of three, and a family of five can still make ends meet." Su Jiali called the assistant over, sat down on the wooden table by the side of the shed, and said, "Young master, you are a layman, so be very careful. Sitting in a place like this On the side, you can see all directions and hear all directions, and you can follow the attendants conveniently."

Duan Hong nodded and asked the guy for two bowls of noodles.

After waiting for the guy to leave, Su Jiali said to Duan Hong, "In the battle of Liangcheng, someone transported food out of the camp privately, but it was unknown in two months. Now the high-ranking official is still hidden in the army. I have found some traces. I don't know where the young master is." Plan?" The voice was not too loud.

"You don't move yet. I let the officer roam freely for a long time, just because I was afraid of disturbing the enemy and alarming the mastermind behind the court. When Zhao Chen comes down, I have a plan to make him show his original shape." Duan Hong pondered for a while, He also said, "Received the report this morning, more than [-] ministers from the DPRK jointly wrote a letter requesting the abolition of Liu Qingchang's post of Taiqing Supervisor of the country, and recommending Shen Zhi."

"My lord suspects that there is collusion in the court?" Su Jiali asked. Seeing that Duan Hong was silent, he said, "The three major powers in the court today are Liu Qing, Chang Taiqing, and Shen Zhi. Liu Qing is an eunuch and is ruthless. Chang Tai It is only natural for officials to refute them with their clever words and expressions."

There are still more than ten days to a full month, and Zhao Chen has not moved at all.Su Jiali frowned, if he didn't come and surrender, he would fight again in fifty days, and how many innocent people would die.

That night, Duan Hong didn't return home until late at night.When she went back, most of the maids in the bedroom were asleep.

It was only September and a half, and the fire was already burning in the house, and Duan Hong was so hot that he was sweating.

When the maid saw her, she hurried over to undress her robe.Duan Hong solved it by himself, threw it on the shelf, and went to the table to pour a cup of herbal tea.Unexpectedly, there was a bowl of meat porridge on the table, which was already cold.

Duan Hong's expression darkened, he took a spoon to scoop it twice, and asked, "When did the princess leave?"

"It's only been a short while," the maid said, "Your Majesty will disappear if you don't want to see him. Why jump out of the window to escape, making people sad?"

Duan Hong was silent.

"Before the princess left, she said that she had something to ask Your Majesty."

"What?"

"...Slaves dare not speak."

"Forgive you not guilty."

The maid said, "Princess asked Your Majesty, you, do you remember the last time you hid under the bed?"

Duan Hong was startled, put down the spoon slowly, and said, "I see, go down."
