Lord Water God who still hasn't taken medicine today

When Xia Fengyan walked out of the Golden Luan Hall, she felt a little cold.

The weather is actually quite good, October is crisp and clear, and the tall maple trees around the palace were hit by frost, but after a few days, the scenery turned red.

When Xia Fengyan walked through the long corridor and looked at the tree, she would be dazzled by the fiery red color.

It was so intense, it seemed to be burning.

He frowned at first, feeling that the bright color made his eyes a little uncomfortable, and even the bright red made him a little disgusted.

Then his brows relaxed, remembering that when he was a teenager, he also liked Dahong very much.

At that time, he was still the second son who was not valued by his family. He could be regarded as a first-class dandy in Kyoto. Laughing and waving a fiery red cloak, he galloped through the streets of Kyoto. Thinking about it, it was many years ago.

Now he doesn't like big red anymore, because it looks too much like the hot blood that just flowed from the wound.

It's been a long time since he rode a horse, because...he was old.

That's why I felt the chill emanating from my bones in this not too cold weather.

The 56-year-old Da Xia Tai Zu touched the wrinkles on his face and expressed emotion.

Then he looked over the layers of overlapping red maple leaves, and looked towards the higher sky.

It seems that it was at that time when I first met him.

"Show me," Xia Fengyan ordered the attendants, "go to the Heavenly Palace."

***

In China at that time, the person who was in charge of the house was not named Xia.

In the previous dynasty, the country was named Daheng.

At that time, Taoist cultivators who advocated interpreting the way of heaven and earth with their own body had not yet emerged, and only a very few people could obtain the power of ghosts and gods, or inheritance, or blood, or talent. called witches.

People who are gifted to become witches are called witches.

The Apocalypse Tower in the capital of Daheng is the most powerful witch and the only place where a witch who can be called a great witch lives.

The great witch accepts the country's offerings, but also uses his own power to protect the country.

These have nothing to do with the young Xia Fengyan.

The Xia family is an aristocrat living in the capital. Their ancestors were born with great figures, but in their generation they are left with no names. However, the education of the children in the family has not been relaxed, even the second son who is not valued is no exception. .

Perhaps it was because the education at home was too realistic, which made a young boy angry at the court all day long.

So when he heard that Heyue, a feudal kingdom in the far north, sent a prince who was a witch, he felt deep sympathy for this guy who was thrown out as a hostage by his own country.

Thinking about it makes me feel miserable.

So when the team escorting the prince of the vassal state entered the city, he and his companions went to watch with great interest, and planned to make fun of the escort team and the prince if there was a good chance.

Well, yes, just for fun.

A group of dandies opened the small window in the box on the second floor of the restaurant facing the street, watching the flow of people under the banner of the restaurant separated by the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard to the two sides of the road. The middle of the road was vacant, and the guard of honor coming from the Phoenix Gate could be seen far away. .

The teenagers exchanged glances with each other, picked up a few appetizers on the table, and put on the fireworks and firecrackers for the New Year.

Someone said submissively: "...I'm afraid it's not good for us to do this?"

"What are you afraid of?" Xia Fengyan, who is a rich man, raised his eyebrows, "How many people from our family didn't participate in the Guanshan war? Then what kind of country still let Princess Chenghe go to marry? Now that they have lost the battle, we should take care of each other." What's wrong with humiliating the prince?"

"but……"

"Don't worry, an abandoned proton, no one will help him out." Xia Fengyan waved his hand, and glanced out of the window.

"Oh! Get ready! Here we come!"

Although a few people still had doubts, the teenagers who were at the age of fearing nothing and fearing nothing quickly put their worries behind them and held up the fireworks.

"Listen well," Xia Fengyan urged, "One blow away, whether it succeeds or not, do you remember the retreat route?"

"Understood, Second Young Master Xia!" The companions stepped forward and patted their boss on the shoulder, all gearing up, waiting to give it a go.

Xia Fengyan raised the corners of his mouth, stepped out of the window in a cool way, and sat on the red lacquered wooden railing. He swept his gaze, and at this moment, he was passing by the wine window looking for the target of their attack later.

He first found the sedan chair that was heavily surrounded, and looked around the sedan chair again without squinting.

Ah, apart from the Jinwu guards who greeted him, don't you have your own soldiers?

As a prince, this treatment is really miserable.

Making a comment in a neutral manner, Xia Fengyan was about to look away, but she happened to meet a pair of eyes secretly looking around from behind the brocade curtain of the lifted sedan chair.

Xia Fengyan: "..."

Ouch.

He rolled back into the box from the red-painted wooden fence, and a group of companions first teased him for his antics before asking him what happened.

"Come and see for me," Xia Fengyan grinned, "I met the prince just now."

"What's wrong with your upper eye?" The others still looked serious, "Second Young Master Xia, did you fall in love at first sight?"

"Get out!" Xia Fengyan cursed, "Isn't that kid a witch? Didn't he curse me?"

"Oh, yes."

"This... Even if we cast a curse, we won't be able to see it. Why don't you go to the Apocalypse Tower and find a shaman?"

Xia Feng's face was expressionless, "Oh, so the prince who will be sent to Tianqi Tower will meet me again immediately?"

"...Ha, ha ha ha ha."

The brothers laughed weakly, Xia Fengyan could only support his forehead.

"Stop laughing," he said, "the queue for laughing again is about to pass, let's do it now."

The teenagers were still laughing, but they didn't stop their movements. They quickly assembled a large crossbow and installed the fireworks on it.

This group of aristocratic dandies is really exceptionally qualified in this respect.

At this time, no one gave orders, simply aimed, ignited, fired, and then quickly dismantled the big crossbow. Before the Jinwu Guards came up, each of the dudes had a mechanism in their arms, and it was scattered without leaving any evidence.

Xia Fengyan, who ran out of the three streets in a flash, climbed over a low wall, and suddenly recalled the eyes she saw just now.

Wide open, trembling timidly, shrinking from the gaze of a stranger.

poor man.

But...it's none of his business.

***

The Jinwu guards didn't catch anything in the end, and the dandies were almost lawless.

A few days later, Xia Fengyan and his companions drank together in a wine shop, and heard a little news about the prince of the vassal state from some companions whose father and brother worked in the palace.

It is said that the prince of the vassal state who was attacked by the gangsters was in a panic when he met the emperor that day, and made a lot of jokes at the palace banquet.

It is said that the prince of the vassal state was sent to the Apocalypse Tower the next day.

It is said that the prince of the vassal state has poor talent and has been bullied by others in the tower.

Later he heard more gossip.

The prince sent by the feudal kingdom this time turned out to be the twin brother of Princess Su, who is known as the once-in-a-thousand-year witch. Originally, their court envoy wanted to bring back Princess Su as a hostage this time, but the envoy unexpectedly After being teased by the vassals with no brains, the one who was sent was Prince Shu who was not talented.

"Sure enough, both sides don't want to see each other." Xia Fengyan drank a glass of wine shaking her head after hearing the news.

"Hey," relayed the news to his friend and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "I think it's weird."

Xia Fengyan, who had been shaking the jug, paused as she tried to pour out the last drop from the jug, and raised her head inexplicably, "What's the matter?"

There was a particularly malicious smile on the friend's face.

"Why do you care so much about this Prince Shu?"

"……roll."

"Hahahahahaha!"

The friend made fun of the flushed Xia Fengyan mercilessly.

This was not enough, and soon all his cronies and friends knew about it.

Not long after, in the small house where this group of dudes gathered privately, he met the Prince Shu who should not be able to go out in Tianqi Tower.

Well, it was specially tied up by friends for him to think that he "has little relief from the pain of lovesickness".

They patted Xia Fengyan on the shoulder to encourage him to say that he was not a man, and then left Xia Fengyan and Prince Shu who were tied up with a rope, stuffed with cloth at the mouth and eyes tied with cloth strips.

Xia Fengyan: "..."

He Lianshu: "..."

This kind of divine development is really unexpected.

Xia Fengyan could only step forward in embarrassment to untie Prince Shu.

During this process, He Lianshu didn't resist or cry, or didn't react at all.

He must be angry, Xia Fengyan thought.

"That what... I am the second son of Lingyang Xia's family, my friends are too reckless, your highness is really abrupt."

"..."

"Please don't worry, I will definitely give those villains who invited you a good lesson."

"..."

"Are you going back to the tower now?"

"..."

Xia Fengyan touched her head, feeling really angry.

The prince Shu in front of him was only eleven or twelve years old, he should be a lively age, but he was silent as if he couldn't speak.

In order to pray for forgiveness—he used to look down on people who forgave and unforgiven—he could only use his trump card.

"Hey, do you want to go play together?"

Prince Shu tilted his head slightly.

...Well, at least there is a reaction, Xia Fengyan thought sadly and relievedly.

***

"At that time, I never thought that you were too timid to speak."

"Why bring this up all of a sudden?" The witch was puzzled, "Is Your Majesty free today?"

"Oh, I'll come and see you." When Xia Fengyan said this, she had a deep smile on her face.

He suddenly remembered that when he was young, he rode a horse with his big witch, and the whole country rode horses to see flowers.

Wrapped in his bright red cloak with only a small face exposed, the face of the big witch is extremely...beautiful.

In the Heavenly Palace of the Great Wu, Xia Fengyan, who had already become the emperor, looked at the shadow of his great witch reflected on the screen through the screen.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since your real body appeared in front of me."

"... Wu has a question and wants to ask His Majesty."

"..." Xia Fengyan.

After facing so many old foxes in the imperial court, it is really cute to see Shu's clumsy change of subject.

The emperor did not expose his big witch, but asked with a smile: "What question?"

"Chang Yuan, Yuan Shan, Yuan Hai," He Lianshu said three names in succession, "Your Majesty seems to have a soft spot for the word Yuan?"

"Ah, I thought you knew?" Xia Fengyan raised her eyebrows maliciously, "I do have a soft spot for Yuan characters."

He deliberately paused here, and He Lianshu frowned when he felt something was wrong behind the screen, and then heard his emperor continue: "Because when you left the teacher, the Qing Dawu gave you the name Yuan?"

He Lianshu: "..."

Even the emperor can't play hooligans all the time.
