After wearing lotus essence

After walking for a day on the road, it was already night at the foot of Mount Tai, but it was rainy in the mountains, and at night, the raindrops fell down with crackling.

Rong Mu lifted the car curtain that was drawn by Shang Cizhou, and stuck his head out to take a look.

The car behind was lined up in a long line, occasionally someone whispered, and the accompanying guards came over, Rong Mu looked up and found that it was Li Suichuan who looked familiar.

This major general has always been relatively taciturn, and he was ordered by Shang Cizhou to investigate him earlier, but he did not expect that after repeated investigations, the little assassin turned into Bai Yueguang.

Later, Li Suichuan was busy with his duties, coupled with the strict discipline of General Li, it was rare to see him dangling in front of him in the future.

"Major General—"

Li Suichuan reined in the horse's head: "What are your orders, young master?"

Rong Mu looked back at the emperor with his forehead propped up and his eyes closed, then poked his head out again and whispered, "Are you going to rest here overnight? It's raining, and the mountain road may not be easy to walk."

Li Suichuan replied: "I want to stay for a while, don't worry, my lord, I have already sent people up to clear the road, and the palace has already been arranged, we can leave only after the rain stops."

Rong Mu nodded and was about to shrink back, but Li Suichuan stopped him for the first time, and then touched something for him from his arms.

"Young Master Rong, I used to be familiar with you when I saw you. Recently, I seem to remember that you and I and His Majesty have known each other for a long time. Please forgive me for the many offenses in the past. It has been many years since I saw you, and Yingzhi has long since forgotten. "

Naturally, Rong Mu knew that it was his body's "credit" to forget his cleanliness, and the spirits of the heavens should not be born with the world.

Li Suichuan saw that the young man only waved his hands to indicate that nothing was wrong, so he put the gadget in his hand by the car curtain, "Young Master is far from the 'Southern Generation Little Slave' when he was a child, and now he looks a bit more dignified .”

Rong Mu was stunned for a moment, and saw the other party nodded slightly, then turned the horse's head, moved his pedals and walked away.

...seriously suspect that Shang Cizhou, the vinegar spirit, greeted Li Suichuan secretly and refused to talk to him more.

Rong Mu picked up what Li Suichuan had left behind and took a look, only to see that it was a small whistle made of a young tree pipe, probably given to him by this major general to relieve his boredom.

He held it in his hand and pinched it, it was soft, with the fragrance of the branches and a little trace of rain, Rong Mu retreated into the carriage, and was busy tinkering with it for a couple of times when the thing in his hand was squeezed away.

"Eh!"

Shang Cizhou rested his forehead with one hand, looked at the short whistle with the other, and then commented: "Good workmanship."

Rong Mu snatched it back: "It was given to me! You want to do it yourself."

A dark light flashed in Shang Cizhou's eyes: "Li Suichuan still learned this craft from Gu, Rong Mu, have you forgotten the ornaments of Ting Zhi Que? Gu is very good at making these small things."

Rong Mu said twice: "You are amazing, you are amazing, you are the chosen one."

Shang Cizhou laughed: "Ting Zhi, play a tune for Gu to listen to."

Rong Mu: "...Ask me to play a tune? I'll play it if you're not afraid of hurting your ears."

Listening to the sound of rain outside, Shang Cizhou said slowly, "Don't be afraid of Gu, you will love whatever you do."

Rong Mu straightened his clothes: "Okay, just wait."

As he spoke, he brought the short whistle close to his lips. Li Suichuan made this thing extremely cleverly, and even made a few small holes to divide the scale.

Rong Mu moved his lips slightly, and a distorted tone popped out, while Shang Cizhou remained motionless, as if what he was listening to was not a profanity but a sound of nature. A note that I heard before was played intermittently.

The night wind was bleak, but because the guards in the royal enclosure were heavily guarded, it didn't make people feel panic, on the contrary, it was much more comfortable. This kind of night rain is the most suitable for falling asleep.

Rong Mu was so engrossed that he didn't notice that Shang Cizhou opened his eyes slightly at some point, staring at him motionless, his fingers silently tapping on his knees.

After the emperor drove, Lianyu was lying on the pony carriage with a weed on the road in his mouth. There was a sound of musical notes coming from the front. He bit the fishhook-shaped grass in his mouth and sat up suddenly.

is the master--

Why is the master blowing a lotus in the water!

Lianyu's Yi Lian Zaishui was learned from listening to Rong Mu's playing when he was a child when he was a koi carp in the East Palace. He learned it day after day for ten years before he managed to play the whole piece completely, but even if Rong Mu lost his Lost the memories of the past, just picking it up casually can regain the talent of the past.

The bald donkey said that a lotus in the water could bring back memories of the emperor, but he didn't know what the master's random playing would remind Shang Cizhou of something.

The imperial guards were on duty outside, and Rong Mu sat cross-legged in the emperor's car, and the most honorable man in the whole business specially set up a long leg for him to lean on comfortably and play the tune.

Feeling more and more comfortable, Rong Mu closed his eyes slightly, as if a blooming lotus pond appeared in his mind, with light boats floating on it, sky and water integrated, reflecting the gorgeous palace corners, elegant and extravagant.

Shang Cizhou looked at the bell behind Rong Mu's head in a daze, a gust of wind blew in, and suddenly a person he hadn't thought of for a long time appeared in his slightly painful mind.

——The king of the Southern Dynasty, maybe he should be called the former Prince of the Southern Dynasty.

At the beginning, he left Rong Mu and left the East Palace just to go to Lizhou to meet the former Southern Prince.

Lizhoujing is very far away from the capital of Dashang, bordering on a small border town in Nandai, Shang Cizhou closed his eyes and let out a slight breath, recalling in his mind the scene when he saw the prince of Nandai in Lizhoujing.

The opponent was about the same height as him, with a copper mask on the lower half of his face, covered in silver armor, standing on the Nandai City Wall less than [-] meters away from the continent. He was a handsome young man at that time, Shang Cizhou only thought that he was going to make a comeback because of something bad in his heart, but he didn't expect that the other party only negotiated with him about one thing...

"Before I was defeated in the Southern Dynasty, I sent a Wang Lian to His Highness the Crown Prince. Does the Crown Prince remember?"

Shang Cizhou raised his chin and calmed the horse under him: "Naturally I remember, why, you Nandai are not willing to give a pot of flowers to the crown prince?"

The other side was silent for a few breaths: "I have a lot of lotus flowers in Nandai, but only this Wang Lian was taken care of by His Highness since I was a child. I sent you a letter before and told you to bring Wang Lian with you when you come." , even if His Highness pays more gold and silver, as long as it can be exchanged for this lotus, why didn't you bring it?"

Shang Cizhou sneered: "The road is long and the mountains are high and the water is urgent. How can you tell the prince to bring it to you? It was a pleasure when I sent it here. I haven't heard that there is a reason for the loot to be sent back. Besides, I have a little slave in the East Palace who loves this flower very much, in the past when the crown prince moved, he would cry for a long time, I dote on this little slave so much, so I gave him the flower to play with."

Shang Cizhou clearly saw the other party's fingers clenched tightly, the veins on the fingertips bulged, and it took him a while to loosen them slightly.

"Wang Lian is in your East Palace?"

Shang Cizhou: "Exactly."

The Southern Crown Prince took a deep breath: "This flower is extremely precious. My royal father dug it directly from my pond. Wang Lian is very delicate and difficult to raise. You can't support him at all. Within three months, His Highness will personally take care of it." Come to Dashang Capital, willing to exchange a hundred of the best for this one king lotus!"

Shang Cizhou said indifferently: "As long as my little slave is willing to let go, you can take it for nothing."

The distance was too far, and the Southern Prince was wearing a mask. Shang Cizhou couldn't see his expression, but he could vaguely feel that this man was holding back a great deal of anger. He thought about it disdainfully, so what if he was angry? Not his defeat.

Shang Cizhou returned home like an arrow, and went back to play with his pavilion branch. He stayed here for a few days, but he didn't expect that the other party just wanted a flower. It was really boring. He turned his horse's head and was about to enter the city There was a cracking sound from behind the door.

Prince Da Shang's eyes sharpened, and almost as soon as he turned his neck, a long arrow with a barbed hook was nailed to the gate of the city with a "dumb" sound. The force was so great that all the arrows disappeared.

He turned his head slowly, dark red murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he saw the southern prince who was very good at archery standing majestically on the city wall, and said in a cold voice: "If this flower exists, my Highness will not provoke you again. If this flower does not , my Nandai has regrouped and will surely make a comeback!"

Shang Cizhou pulled out the arrowhead on the city gate, and Wei Yi clenched it into two pieces.

"As, when, respect, wait."

The city gate was closed with a bang, and Shang Ci came back to his senses in a flash. When he opened his eyes, he saw Rong Mu getting very close to him, and he tapped hard on the wall of the carriage with his short knife.

The young man's eyes were puzzled, and his brows were slightly frowned: "Is the sound so magical? Did you faint? I've been calling you for a long time."

Shang Cizhou's eyes moved, and he slowly withdrew his thoughts, looking at the jade-like young man in front of him.

He stretched out his hand and traced the eyebrows and eyes of the other party: "Ting Zhi, if Gu and Nandai Wang fight, which side will you stand on?"

Rong Mu: "???"

"Okay, why are you fighting?"

Shang Cizhou looked at him and said: "Gu Fang suddenly remembered that the Wang Lian you loved back then is the favorite of the Southern King today. When he was the Southern Prince, he did not hesitate to lure Gu to go with a fake war. The border, just to get back that Wang Lian."

Rong Mu hissed slightly.

This king of Nandai seems to be a bit unlucky. He was taken as a trophy and sent to Dashang just as he was about to change form. Now that he has returned, he was reborn in the body of Bi Jiangxue who was taken captive. The king of Nandai raised him himself. I planted two lotus flowers, and each time I raised them into the hands of the enemy's opponent——

If he was the king of the Southern Dynasties, he would have collapsed long ago.

Shang Cizhou stroked his hair, as if he was recalling something, and said: "The prince of the southern generation did not seem to be a fake, he would really fight for a flower. Gu originally thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing. Just return Wang Lian to him, but..."

Rong Mu blinked: "Why, why are you looking at me like that?"

Shang Cizhou smiled: "Back then, Tingzhi was a small pink and white dumpling, and once he arrived in the East Palace, he protected Wang Lian very fiercely. Gu would not dare to ask anyone to touch that lotus flower, because Tingzhi always told him not to touch it. Huahua is very lovable, she loves you so much, she thinks it's all up to you, if you give it to Gu, you can return it, if you don't want him to go to war... But later, the Southern Crown Prince didn't have time to find Da Shang, Ting Zhi disappeared together with Wang Lian."

The emperor's voice was deep, and he seemed to be a little amusing guessing: "When he was out of breath and fainted back then, he probably heard that Gu went crazy later, so he simply gave up and watched Gu fend for himself as if he had revenge. "

Rong Mu: "..."

"Then what, it's better not to go to war. There are sacrifices in a war. You are both emperors now. The two of you have the opportunity to sit down and communicate. It's really not good. You give Bi Jiangxue three months of 'family leave' every year." , tell it to go back to its homeland to wait, at least it was raised again by the king of the Southern Dynasty..." Rong Mu thoughtfully suggested.

Shang Cizhou suddenly said: "Then Ting Zhi also went back together, right?"

Rong Mu hastily said, "Ah, yes, yes, I want to go together—er, to see the style of Nandai together."

The sound of the rain gradually stopped, and someone outside started to walk slowly, as if they were about to set off again, Shang Cizhou pinched Rong Mu's soft cheek, and said with a little bit of strength: "Your little abacus is so noisy If you have lost your ears, why don't you shoot Nandai down for you, so that it will be convenient for you to follow wherever you go, what do you think?"

Rong Mu: "..."

He took a step back: "...Can't it work for a month?"

Shang Cizhou's expression was cold: "No."

Rong Mu pursed his lips, his head moved in Shang Cizhou's palm, his face was smooth and tender, and he broke free quickly.

"It doesn't matter where you send the flowers, but you, it doesn't matter where you send them, Ting Zhi... don't leave Gu anymore. Gu has been suffering from itching all these years. If you are not here, who will persuade Gu to be kind? No more You, I'm afraid you only have the thought of killing people and fighting wars."

Rong Mu's heart trembled.

...Almost deceived by Shang Cizhou's superficial gentleness again, this guy is just a crazy black lotus, maybe he wants to get real.

But it's not easy to be fooled by Nandai Wang - Rong Mu suddenly came to his senses when he thought of this.

No, what's going on, why did he bring another bowl of water unknowingly, he has never seen this bowl of water before!

No, no, one bowl or two bowls can still make up the living, but three bowls and four bowls Rong Mu wants to spoil it.

Don't worry about how many bowls you have!all will be good--

Rong Mu tidied up his clothes and was about to ask when he would arrive at the palace when he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the front, followed by a guard reporting from outside the car: "Your Majesty, there is a caravan ten miles away. There are so many luxurious guards, she should be the princess of the Southern Dynasty!"

Rong Mu: Oh hoo.

The pinch is really accurate, this is the encounter on a narrow road.

He looked at Shang Cizhou, and saw that the other party raised his eyelids and said indifferently: "The car does not stop, and the Governor of the Interior will arrange follow-up matters. It is raining heavily tonight, so let the envoys of the Southern Dynasties take a rest, and they will be entertained by Gu Gu and the prince of Xiyue tomorrow." .”

Guard: "Yes! This subordinate is going to inform the other party to drive, and ask the Nandai princess to wait a while."

Shang Cizhou was arranging things, Rong Mu covered his mouth with a furry blanket and yawned, his mouth hurt after blowing the short whistle for a while, Shang Cizhou didn't give him a "family leave" yet, alas ——I don't know how sad his "Southern King's Supporter" lost his flowers.

The procession moved again, and the air outside grew cooler, drowsy on a June night.

Seeing Rong Mu's eyelids twitching, Shang Cizhou took him over, Rong Mu struggled a few times and then let him go, the free emperor's back, no need for nothing.

But just as he found a comfortable position in Shang Cizhou's arms, he heard the horse outside neighing suddenly.

A guard tried his best to suppress the panic and shouted: "General, there is a big bug ahead!"

Rong Mu suddenly woke up.

Big bug?Isn't the ancient tiger a big tiger? !

The ecology of this Taishan Mountain is really good, and you can meet a tiger even after walking a few steps - he was about to stick his head out to watch the excitement, when he was held down by a big hand, Shang Cizhou lifted the curtain of the car, and saw a hundred meters away Sure enough, there was a beast with black and yellow stripes lying on its side.

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Li Suichuan."

Li Suichuan hastily stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this road has already been cleared, this big worm seems to have wandered in by mistake, so I—"

Shang Cizhou laughed: "Gu didn't blame you." After finishing speaking, he closed his smile slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Go, get Gu's big bow, Gu first make a tiger skin blanket for Ting Zhi. "

Rong Tingzhi: "...?"

I couldn't see the situation clearly in the night, only the torches were faintly shining, and the flames flashed and flickered, and I saw the beast suddenly stand up and slowly walk over.

If you don't run, you are waiting to be shot into a sieve!

Rong Mu's heart was inexplicably tense, and Shang Cizhou was already standing outside the car, he tilted his head slightly, drew his bow and set an arrow, Rong Mu's heart jumped into his throat, and was about to say that it would be good to drive this big guy away, Seeing the tiger's head holding a bloody thing, Wei Yi threw it to the feet of the front guard.

Shang Cizhou's movements paused slightly, and a guard bravely took a light with a torch, only to find that it was a dead roe deer.

Li Suichuan: "..."

Other guards: "..."

Shang Cizhou gave a low "hmm" and slowly put down the arrow.

Rong Mu's nerves were tense, he was afraid and couldn't resist the big furry, he didn't know which string was wrong in his mind, and he blurted out: "Ah Mimi...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the big thing heard his voice and rolled over on its belly in the mud, as if it was a hardcore coquettish.

Rong Mu: "..."

I can't have this stuff anymore.

Shang Cizhou raised his eyebrows, and was about to tell Rong Mu to go back into the car, when he saw the big worm called a cat opened his mouth and let out a low growl, then turned around to face them and shook his thick hair arrogantly. Tail, and then jumped into the nearby woods in twos and twos, and disappeared.

The corner of Li Suichuan's mouth twitched, he was about to lead someone to chase him when he was stopped by Shang Cizhou.

"Don't worry about it, Gu Fang just saw that the strange beast had restraints on its neck."

Rong Mufu followed suit in his heart: "Your Majesty is saying that this is the cat of the Southern Prince?!"

Li Suichuan covered his face with a snap, wiped the rainwater off his face, Shang Cizhou pushed his head back again, lest this little idiot would be made more stupid by the cold wind.

"It's probably the princess who let it out to hunt wild food. I didn't expect to bump into us. Ting Zhi has always been destined for these things. If you like it, ask the princess to bring it for you to play with at tomorrow's banquet."

Rong Mu's eyes lit up: "Oh!"

Shang Cizhou patted his head lovingly, looked sideways and said, "Li Suichuan."

Li Suichuan rode forward and saw Shang Cizhou turn around and put Rong Mu in place, so he reached out and opened the curtain of the car and said in a deep voice: "Put away the roe deer and make it into roasted food tomorrow. Gu will use this as the main dish to welcome Nandai." The Queen has arrived."

The emperor's tone was not right, and Li Suichuan's heart changed, and he finally understood what was going on.

...I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness was dissatisfied with the waiting, so she deliberately released the "little beast pet", but she didn't expect that this little pet was not very obedient today, not only did not bite, but also sent it to them halfway a prey.

Li Suichuan looked at Huang Jia, as if looking at the silly boy inside through the curtain of the car.

The queens of the Southern Dynasties were born with supernatural powers to tame strange beasts, but Rong Mu just called a tiger a cat, and could make the feared tiger act like a baby...

Rong Mu Chunshan has an unshakable and vicious backer behind him. Li Suichuan used to think that this person was weak, but now, it seems that he only discovered the tip of his mysterious iceberg.

Was Rong Mu really...was he just a "small slave of the southern generation" with no family name and no relatives since he was a child?
