The past ignites old dreams

The night is dark and windy.

The door of the vermilion lacquered mansion opened slowly.

In the end, Qiao Ran didn't even take a bite of that "family feast".

Someone came uninvited.

Royal tokens are unstoppable.They broke into Fengze Hall all the way.

Even the luminous cup of Lanling fine wine has no light.Even if it is delicacies from mountains and seas, it has no fragrance.

The first thing the Lu brothers and sisters saw was the man hidden under the black cloak, who looked like a teenager in appearance.

Behind the young man are the four masters of the imperial court.Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu.

When Lu Wenyu saw the four masters, her heart skipped a beat, could it be the emperor?It doesn't look like the body shape.

Lu Mingzhu didn't often walk around the court, but she knew from Lu Wenyu's expression that she had a serious background.

Qiao Ran doesn't care about big heads and small heads, and people who only pick on other people's meal times to come over have a bad heart.

Next to the boy was a girl who carried a flying dragon lantern specially designed for the royal family.

Qiao Ran thought he was dazzled by drinking too much alcohol, so he pinched his leg and focused his eyes on the girl's face, "Wheat?!"

Red head rope double bun, goose yellow shirt, light green skirt.The mouth is like a pill, the eyebrows are like green, and the face is beautiful.The most obvious thing is her wheat-colored complexion, isn't it wheat?

I don't know when Lu Mingzhu walked up to Qiao Ran, "Young Master Qiao, do you know the people in the palace?"

While speaking, the boy took off his cloak and hat.He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a round face like a full moon, and his lips are full and moist like freshly peeled oranges.

Lu Wenyu was startled, and immediately saluted, "His Royal Highness Qi Wang! See His Royal Highness Qi Wang!"

All the people present followed Lu Wenyu and knelt down, "Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

There was only one exception. Qiao Ran sat on his stool abruptly. The scene of everyone shouting made him look stupid.

Lu Mingzhu winked at Qiao Ran timidly.

Qiao Ran turned a blind eye.At that moment, he seemed to be wandering around the world again.In fact, Qiao Ran knew it very well, but he was a little bit taken aback. The person who had already played the role suddenly fell from the sky. It turned out that King Qi was like this, not at all like me!It is said that he is young and frivolous, with a high tone, but this young man looks prematurely decrepit, looks very mature, originally has a royal appearance, but exudes depression because of too much thinking Chi's aura.

"Qiao Ran! Why don't you kneel when you see King Qi!"

The person who scolded was Mai Mai who was let go by Qiao Ran before.

The little wolf was very anxious and tormented inside. He just wanted to stand up and drag Qiao Ran away immediately.

Qiao Ran looked at Mai Mai who thought she was cute and lovely, but now she was domineering and domineering, and thought that Cui Yan was right. At that time, Cui Yan was going to kill the grass and root out the roots, but Qiao Ran insisted on keeping people under the knife and letting the ill-intentioned Mai Mai go. Qiao Ran thought , she is just a little girl, how bad can it be?

"Your Highness." Mai Mai looked at the young man, "He is Qiao Ran beside Cui Yan. He...is sick."

Mai Mai said, pointing to Qiao Ran's head.

Qiao Ran wanted to vomit blood, that's why you're sick!And if you say the name, just say the name, what is Qiao Ran who is beside Cui Yan!Could it be that the pervert still has ownership over me? !

"Understood." The man said in a deep voice, "Get up."

After getting up, Lu Wenyu was full of doubts, weighing where to start.But King Qi asked, "Are you Qiao Ran, the alien who has been impersonating King Qi?"

Only then did Qiao Ran stand up slowly, rolled up her sleeves, calmly said, "Yes, I am Qiao Ran. However, I did not impersonate you."

Originally, it was Cui Yanfei who forced me to pretend to be King Qi, so please don't involve me in your messy affairs.

Mai Mai accused, "Qiao Ran, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and it is not an exaggeration to divide the body into pieces."

"Wheat, you said you..." Qiao Ran sighed, "I couldn't bear to let you go, why did you come back again. This time Cui Yan wants to get rid of you again, and there is nothing I can do."

Mai Mai didn't know whether she was angry or what, her face flushed red, "Don't call me Xiaomai anymore, my name is Shuangshuang. What's so great about the Qinghe Cui family! You don't just have to kneel when you see the royal family!"

"Shuangshuang." King Qi called Shuangshuang, and Shuangshuang obediently kept silent.

The Lu brothers and sisters looked at each other, not knowing what to do.Before this, I had never heard that King Qi was rescued and returned to the country, but the person in front of me was indeed exactly the same as Yang Jingliu, whoever he was, not to mention that the four great imperial masters all followed him around, this is a protection measure only enjoyed by the royal family ah.

The suspicious King Qi had already walked to the side of the table, and he picked up the glass of wine that Cui Yan had never drunk before, "Yangxian Spring Tea Yaocaobi, Lanling Fine Wine Tulip."

After finishing speaking, he tipped the luminous glass and spilled the wine on the ground, "Send the dead."

Shuangshuang's expression became sad, "His Royal Highness, he has knowledge under the spring, so he won't blame you."

"My lord, my lord went up to the mountain all night, condescending to Fan Yang's residence, making the humble house luxuriant, and Mrs. Lu was flattered and grateful." At this time, Lu Mingzhu stepped forward gracefully, no matter what happened, since it happened, she could only face it. .

"Fan Yang Lu, who is so rich as a country, still says that his house is just a shabby room, so what is my palace?" King Qi sneered, "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch your eyes."

"My lord's words made us confused, why?" Lu Wenyu was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Why? I also want to ask you why. Why are you providing the thousand taels of gold for the martial arts conference every five years, and finally returned to you? You Fanyang Lu clan and Qinghe Cui clan, this alliance is really good."

Lu Wenyu stared at the talking King Qi strangely, the more he listened, the more strange he became, the King Qi he knew before was not like this at all.

Although Lu Mingzhu belongs to her daughter's family, she knows everything about the family well. She said, "Don't talk about a thousand taels of gold, even ten thousand taels, our Lu family can afford it. The prince said that the money came from the Lu family and went back to the Lu family. It's really unfair!"

Qiao Ran was confused and bored, he didn't care what happened, he stood there stupidly, it was hard to leave, and it was hard to stay.If you are not careful, you will catch yourself on fire.

Shuangshuang teased, "Miss Lu, don't worry about arguing, where is Cui Yan and Cui Ling, call them out quickly."

Lu Mingzhu was categorical, "Not in Fan Yang's house."

Lu Wenyu also said decisively, "It's really not here."

King Qi turned half a circle around the table and turned behind Qiao Ran. Qiao Ran wanted to turn around and was pressed by his shoulder, "There must be a scar here, Qiao Ran. Qian Shanji's hidden weapon is hard to guard against."

"You—" Qiao Ran broke free from his hand, and took a few steps back, "How do you know this? What else do you know? Weren't you imprisoned in Heishui City when these things happened? You—— Is he the real King Qi?!"

"Bold!" Shuangshuang shouted, "How dare you question His Highness, a lowly grassroots! Suzaku—"

Shuangshuang commanded one of the top four masters, "Catch him!"

Lu Wenyu stopped in front of Qiao Ran, "Wait a minute!"

"My lord, Qiao Ran is not a citizen of our country, please forgive me for being rude. Wen Yu dares to ask the lord why he entered Fan Yang's house?"

"What do I need you to ask me?" King Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if looking far away, but in front of him, there were only flowers and plants in the night outside Fengze Hall, "One day, your family If it breaks, or if the tree falls and the sun is scattered, I won't bother. In short, Brother Huang has his own plans, but I, I only think about the sake of the people in the world."

"That's what you said..." Qiao Ran had nothing to say, and the common people in the world said that they should play together!

King Qi gave Qiao Ran a look, and Qiao Ran was taken down.Suzaku, one of the four masters, clamped Qiao Ran's arms and twisted them backwards.

Little Wolf was so heartbroken that he shed tears.

Ouch!Qiao Ran secretly bit her lower lip, sweating from the pain, but forcibly held back her voice.Whether you scream or not, the pain is the same, and it is the result of being arrested.It's been half a year since I came here, I can't mess around like I did at the beginning, calm down, calm down!

"Wait a minute."

Another "wait a minute". The "calm and calm" Qiao Ran heard a really calm and calm voice, a voice he was familiar with, someone he relied on.

"Cui Yan..." Qiao Ran stretched his neck and looked out with great effort, cold sweat trickled down and flowed into his eyes, stinging salty.

Cui Yan seemed to be stepping on the moon, and the light was bright and clean.Behind him was Cui Ling who was as sharp as a blade.

When King Qi saw Cui Yan, he smiled as if meeting an old friend, "Cui Yan, we finally meet."

Cui Yan hit the nail on the head, "Who are you?"

"Who else can I be?"

Cui Ling walked up to Cui Yan, like a cliff, blocking between King Qi and Cui Yan, "You are not King Qi."

"Cui Ling, are you convicted?"

"What a sin."

"You killed my younger brother, the well-known king of Qi. Is this crime big enough?"

As soon as these words came out, the people present only hated that they had grown ears. It was safer not to know about this kind of thing.

Cui Ling sneered: "If I really killed him, wouldn't it be okay? You have become the legitimate king of Qi, and you don't have to hide in the dark anymore. Do you have to thank me?"

"You are indeed his elder brother." Cui Yan said, "What Cui Ling told me is true. Back then, the Empress Dowager gave birth to a pair of twins. The elder brother was hidden and the younger brother was named King Qi. You are the one elder brother."

"That's right. I am Yang Jingli." Yang Jingli didn't hide it, "but in fact I am Yang Jingliu, the King of Qi. Father not only changed our identities, but also changed our names. The former King of Qi was me. My twin brother, but he never knew there was such a brother as me. He thought we would recognize each other in this life, but unexpectedly my brother was killed by the dark feather Cui Ling of your family."

"I didn't kill him." Cui Ling's eyes burst out with hatred, "I didn't kill Yang Jingliu. It's you, it's you, your own people kill your own people, such a despicable act, don't pour dirty water into it. Qinghe Cui's body splashed."

Those who achieve great things, regardless of small details, turn the world upside down, how can they not sacrifice.Yang Jingli knew all the causes and effects in his heart, but he still said, "Cui Ling, I don't care about the truth, I just want the final result. I came here today to arrest you and give you back to the emperor, queen mother, civil and military officials, the common people, and others." An explanation from the Blackwater Tribe. This is also for the sake of your Cui family, otherwise people in the world will think that you are a bully and conspiring to rebel."

Cui Yan frowned, and clasped Cui Ling's wrist, "He can't go with you. If you want to arrest Qinghe Cui's people, do you have the emperor's decree or the arrest document from Dali Temple?"

"Not at all." Yang Jingli looked at Qiao Ran, who was looking down, and thought it was funny, "You insist on not letting me take Cui Ling away, I won't force you, after all, Cui Ling is from your clan. But this person, his origin is unknown, Deceive the king, I will take him away, you have nothing to say."

In Qiao Ran's heart, thousands of muddy horses galloped by, God, why is it always me who is unlucky? !

Cui Yan really couldn't say that Qiao Ran is also a member of the Cui family. Seeing that the secret King Qi surfaced tonight, he was determined to arrest someone. It was either Cui Ling or Qiao Ran. Cui Yan actually I realized that I was hesitating... The hand that was holding Cui Ling's wrist gradually loosened.

"Yang Jingli, what on earth do you want to do?!"

Cui Ling reprimanded and drew out the arrow crossbow from his back, Qinglong Baihu and Xuanwu immediately crossed in front of Yang Jingli, ready to fight at all times.

Cui Ling is a person who climbed out of the dead. He has never seen such a bloody storm. Even if he is a master, "Didn't you insist that I kill Yang Jingliu? Then why don't I kill you two brothers together! Kill two birds with one stone." Anyway, not many people in the world know of your existence. You can be a companion in the underworld, if your younger brother finds out that you are the mastermind behind killing him at the King of Hades, the underworld is also waiting for you to go down!"

"Cui Ling!" Cui Yan said emphatically, and grabbed the crossbow, "Go to the back."

"Second Young Master!" Cui Ling's eyes were bloodshot, he was not reconciled, "The royal family betrayed their promises! Wasted us—"

"Go to the back!" Cui Yan's eyes were piercing.

Cui Ling sighed, and retreated behind Cui Yan.

"How?" Yang Jingli asked, "Second Master Cui, have you decided whether to hand over Cui Ling, the murderer, or Qiao Ran, the deceitful king?"

When Cui Yan asked Cui Ling to stand behind him, Qiao Ran's heart sank.Qiao Ran didn't say anything, she straightened her neck and only looked at Cui Yan.

"Qiao Ran is just a lunatic I picked up from the desert. You made a mistake in threatening me with him." Cui Yan said coldly, "But he has been with me for a while, and he has helped me Me. No matter who you take away today, it means that the relationship between the royal family and the Qinghe Cui family is broken."

Lu Mingzhu took a step forward and said, "There is Fan Yang Lu Shi. Lu Shi and Cui Shi are advancing and retreating together."

Lu Mingzhu stared at Cui Yan firmly, Cui Yan slightly nodded in her direction, a friend in adversity sees the truth.

"Okay. Very good." Yang Jingli clapped his hands and said, "The tail of the fox is finally exposed. Since supporting the founding emperor, your Cui family has been arrogant and arrogant from generation to generation. Now that the good show is starting, no one will regret it. .”

"Take him away!" Shuangshuang waved her hand grandly, and ordered Suzaku to escort Qiao Ran away, and she proudly followed Yang Jingli out of Fengze Hall and Fan Yang's residence.

Qiao Ran was pushed and dragged, stumbled, wanted to turn around several times, wanted to yell at him, but he didn't want to see Cui Yan's face, and didn't want to appear weak and helpless, he told himself, don't rely on him, asking for others is better than asking for yourself.

After Yang Jingli and his party left, the Fengze hall was so quiet that even the sound of a leaf falling from the parasol tree could be heard.

Lu Wenyu was a little annoyed, trying to control himself to be calm, he asked, "Brother Qiao is innocent, we can't just ignore death."

Lu Mingzhu only thought about Cui Yan, and didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Cui Ling, who didn't wait to see Qiao Ran before, said, "Second Young Master, he...do we care?"

Cui Yan handed the crossbow to Cui Ling again, "Although Phoenix is ​​a great sage, he doesn't want to be a minister."

"This is what the eldest son means—"

"My elder brother's meaning represents the wishes of the entire Cui family." Cui Yan said, "You and I both have the surname Cui, so we have no choice."

Lu Wenyu said, "There are choices."

As soon as he said it, Lu Mingzhu understood, "Thirty years since the founding of Dayang, the rebels have come back, and the young master of the Yuan family who has surrendered to our dynasty swears in blood to separate from the former members of the Yuan family who are the leader of the rebels." After the rebel army was suppressed, Dali Temple was ordered by the emperor to deal with it fairly, and did not implicate Young Master Yuanxiao's family."

"I'm not ignorant of the historical events you mentioned." Cui Yan was silent, turned and left without saying anything.

"It is impossible for the Cui family to separate." Cui Ling followed closely after speaking.

Only the silent servants and the Lu brothers and sisters remained in Fengze Hall.

Lu Wenyu put her arms around her sister's shoulders and comforted her, "It surprised you."

With support, Lu Mingzhu relaxed her tense body, "Brother... Did I do something wrong?"

"I don't know." Lu Wenyu sighed, "Even if we don't side with the Cui family, those in the royal family can't tolerate our Fan Yang Lu family for long. Didn't you hear that person just now said that our family is as rich as an enemy? Who can tell us?" Can accommodate families that can be enemies of one's own country."

Tang Yu bowed down three glasses of wine, and Tang Wu conquered a game of chess.

Up and down through the ages, things come and go like shadows disappearing into the sky.

There are always people who can't see through.There are always people fighting with their lives.
