Yangyue

Ji Yun stood in the courtyard of the Xiao Mansion for a while, and then returned to the Nuan Pavilion where Lord Hou and the Pavilion Master were. She did not go in, but guarded the door together with other servants.

The young man outside rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands, breathed warm air into his palms, turned his head to look at the cloak on Jiyun's body that looked like it could only be worn by a wealthy family, and sighed: "Miss Jiyun, Master Hou treats you so well. That's great."

Ji Yun glanced at the boy quietly, but didn't answer.

The little servant touched his head: "Haha, Miss Jiyun, someday when Master Hou carries you through the door, I have to ask you to speak nice words for the little one in front of Master Hou."

Several people waited outside the door for a long time until Youshi, but they didn't see Lord Hou and the Pavilion Master coming out, nor did they hear anyone calling.

Just as the boy was thinking about going in to have a look, the door of the Nuan Pavilion was suddenly opened, and Henry Zhang stood behind the door, holding Qi Zhu who smelled of alcohol.

Xiao Yangyue looked at Ji Yun outside the door, and then looked away again, her eyes were cold and clear, and there was no sign of happiness or anger.He handed Master Hou to his servant and said, "Master Hou is drunk, take Master Hou home."

The servant hurriedly supported Qi Zhu: "Yes, yes."

When the boy wanted to help Qi Zhu down the steps, Qi Zhu suddenly turned his head and reached out to grab Henry Zhang's wrist. Henry Zhang looked up at him, but Qi Zhu didn't say a word, just quietly holding the delicate and flexible wrist. wrist, with a drunken hazy look.

Xiao Yangyue was furious in her heart, all the Jiyun people were in front of Lord Hou, and they were still grabbing him for what!

Ji Yun: "My lord, my servant sees that Master Hou is very drunk, and the road back is bumpy, so I may have a headache the next day. My servant asks my lord to cook some soup for soothe the nerves and sober up for Master Hou, so that Master Hou can drink it first." Take a bath."

Henry Zhang hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

Qi Zhu smiled slightly, and let go of Henry Zhangyue's wrist.

Qi Zhu drank hangover soup in Xiao's mansion, and asked his servants to take a bath, and then fell asleep.Xiao Yangyue simply asked someone to clean up a clean room, and directly let Qi Zhu sleep in his house.

It was late at night, Xiao Yangyue was sitting in her bedroom, and the little maid serving behind him took off the hair crown for him, put it neatly into the brocade box, and after a while, a maidservant came to report that Lord Hou was already in Dongyuan fell asleep in the courtyard.

Maid: "Young master, Miss Jiyun is here, should we let her live in Lord Hou's courtyard directly, or arrange another room for her?"

"Let her rest in Lord Hou's yard." Xiao Yangyue said lightly, "If Lord Hou wakes up and can't see her, I'm afraid he won't be happy."

After the maid retreated, the little maid behind her looked at Xiao Yangyue cautiously, and said: "Young Master...Young Master, don't be angry, Sister Jiyun is also doing her master-servant friendship."

Henry Zhang said slowly: "What am I angry for?"

"My servant thinks that Master Hou...Master Hou doesn't like Sister Jiyun at all." The little maid curled her lips, "I saw it for real just now in the Nuan Pavilion. Although Master Hou is very kind to Sister Jiyun, he..."

Henry Zhang interrupted coldly: "Okay, step back."

The little maid could only shut up, and quietly closed the door, leaving Henry Zhang sitting alone in the room, quietly watching the beating candle wick.

Earlier in the Nuan Pavilion, Lord Hou regarded him as Jiyun, stared at him for a long time, and said he was beautiful.At that time, Lord Hou looked at him, which only made Henry Zhang feel chills in his heart, and the strands of pain that grew from the bottom of his heart were all pain for no reason.

In the early morning of the second day, Qi Zhu slowly opened his eyes, then sat up from the bed.

As soon as Fu opened his eyes, he realized that he was not in the Hou Mansion.The interior of the bedroom is exquisitely decorated, with tranquil incense burning, the bed curtains are hanging down, and the chirping of insects and birds in the morning can be faintly heard outside.

He did drink a little too much last night, but he still remembered what happened afterwards. When he got out of bed, a servant girl who was waiting outside came in to serve Chen Qi, and said respectfully: "Master, Miss Jiyun rested in the wing room last night. , has been up for more than an hour, do you need to call her over?"

Qi Zhu said: "No need."

"Yes."

The clothes that Qi Zhu wore yesterday were replaced, and the maids prepared a new set of blue-colored men's uniforms. Looking at the styles and patterns, they were probably Henry Zhang's clothes.

Qi Zhu: "The color of this dress is too dark, do you have plain clothes?"

The servant girl wondered: "This... the young master's clothes are mostly dark-colored, and if they are plain, only skirts are mostly..."

"That's all, just this one."

Qi Zhu changed into clothes, the clothes were cut according to Henry Zhang's figure, it was a little too small for him, the waist of the outer robe was tight, and the shoulders and sleeves were also a little tight, no wonder Henry Zhang usually Can wear those slim women's clothing and still move easily.

After tidying up, Qi Zhu took the fan presented by the maid, pushed open the door and came into the courtyard, he walked towards the main hall of the Xiao Mansion, just as he walked out of the arch, he unexpectedly saw a figure walking through the carved corridor.

It was Bai Yu who came, and Bai Yu turned around by chance, and saw Qi Zhu standing under the wall of the inner courtyard, with a look of surprise on his brows.

Bai Yu: "Master Hou?"

"Bai Jinwei envoy, good morning." Qi Zhu simply greeted, "I came to Xiao's residence so early, did you have something to do with your master?"

"Yes, there are some affairs in the pavilion that need to be handled by the pavilion master."

It was the first time Bai Yu saw Qi Zhu wearing a dark uniform, so he couldn't help but look at it for a while. The dark-colored Lord Hou seemed to be different from usual. But the color is only fierce, handsome and aggressive.

Bai Yu came back to his senses, looked at Lord Hou for too long, hurriedly lowered his eyes, and asked, "Why is Lord Hou in the Lord's house?"

"Yesterday I made an appointment with Henry Zhang for a drink, and when I was drinking, I fell asleep here directly."

Qi Zhu looked Bai Yu up and down, and his eyes paused on his face. Bai Yu stood in front of him a little cautiously, and when he was about to say goodbye, he heard Qi Zhu suddenly say: "Suddenly found that Bai Jinwei envoy and An old friend of mine bears a resemblance in appearance."

Hearing this, Bai Yu raised her head: "Master Hou's old friend?"

Qi Zhu: "Yes, it's a pity that he died young, and I miss him very much now."

Bai Yu's heart was blocked, and he said, "My condolences to Lord Hou."

Qi Zhu smiled, but thought in his heart, there is no need to mourn, and we will meet each other in the underworld in the future.

Bai Yu's mind is delicate, he sensed the desolate loneliness in Qi Zhu's smile, and felt a little sad in his heart.It must be a bosom friend who can make Hou Ye remember this point. There are few confidantes in life, but now they are separated by life and death. How can you not feel sad?

Lord Hou always faces people with a smile. If there is really someone in this world who can understand the emotions contained in Lord Hou's every frown and smile, then Bai Yu also hopes that that person is safe and sound.

Bai Yu was much younger than him, and Qi Zhu looked at him like a brother looking at a younger brother, and raised his hand to pat his head casually: "Okay, it's my fault for making you feel down, don't delay, go quickly Find Henry Zhang, and tell him for me by the way, I will not stay, and go back to the house first."

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, bid farewell to Qi Zhu in a hurry, turned around and left quickly.After walking through the long corridor, Bai Yu stopped slowly. He stretched out his hand to touch the place that Lord Hou touched just now, and his heart felt like a drumbeat.

Bai Yu couldn't tell where this emotion came from, but the warm palm that Hou Ye touched him sent a stream of heat flowing into his heart.

Bai Yu found Xiao Yangyue in a small school field in the backyard of the Xiao Mansion. Xiao Yangyue had the habit of getting up in the morning to practice swords. At that time, he had just finished practicing, and took the face towel handed by the maid to wipe off the thin sweat on his forehead. .

Bai Yu bowed to Xiao Yangyue, and said: "Master Pavilion Master, I just met Lord Hou, and Lord Hou said that he has returned to the residence first."

Xiao Yangyue put away her sword and gave a faint promise.

After explaining the matters to be dealt with in the Duckweed Pavilion, Bai Yu said again: "My lord, Mukhba Khan will come to see you in three days, and the emperor will hold a martial arts banquet."

The Mukhba Khanate is a Hu people alliance tribe. After the death of the Lenge Khan, the Mukhba Khan formed an alliance with several other small Qiang and Hu tribes, forming the current Mukhba Khanate. Trade with the Central Plains.

The Mukhba tribe advocates martial arts. This year's martial arts examination just ended last month. The emperor ordered that a martial arts banquet be set up when the Mukhba Khan met with him. This year, the Khan was allowed to bring his own tribe's generals when he paid tribute to the Central Plains. Minister, to show the emperor's tolerance.

On this day three days later, Mukhba Khan arrived in the capital, accompanied by more than a dozen martial arts fighters from the tribe.

The banquet was held by the stage of Qianming Palace. Mukhba Khan was nearly nine feet tall, and he was full of the spirit of a majestic man who lived on the grassland. His Ke Dun and several concubines sat on the left and right, and he was sitting in the lower seat. On the first seat, he was toasting and chatting with the emperor.

Naturally, Qi Zhu also came to the banquet. He sat on the other side of the table, looking at the prairie warriors Khan brought with great interest.

Central Plains martial arts, Southern Xinjiang martial arts and Hu people's martial arts each have their own schools. Central Plains martial arts focus on internal strength and prefer swords and weapons; Southern Xinjiang martial arts are sinister and cunning, and are good at using strange poisons; Hu people's martial arts are more rough.

Qi Zhu has seen the martial arts of Southern Xinjiang before, but he is very interested in the martial arts of the Qianghu clan. Sit under the stage and enjoy it.

Henry Zhang came late, he was wearing a rouge-colored embroidered begonia-patterned cloud brocade gauze long dress, matched with his saber, it was very bright and moving, his hair accessories were relatively simple, and he only wore the hair accessories given by Qi Zhu One of the hairpins in the head mask box, the hair is combed in two strands, and the rest is loose.

Mukhba Khan, who was sitting not far away, glanced at Henry Zhang, and the hand raising the cup stopped instantly, and his eyes were glued to Henry Zhang, until he took a seat on the next seat, then he raised his hand suddenly, and poured the cup into the cup. The wine was drained in one gulp.

After the banquet began, the warriors from Muheba's tribe and several martial arts masters competed on the stage one by one. I also laughed so hard that the branches trembled.

It was about the face of the imperial court, the military generals of the imperial court were excited for a while, and they all took the initiative to ask the emperor to go on stage and compete with the barbarians. Henry Zhang quietly sat on the seat drinking tea, and looked at the fighting on the stage calmly.

Seeing that the Wu Juren in the Central Plains were retreating steadily, Muheba Khan laughed three times, lifted his clothes, revealing his dark and gnarled chest and arms, flew out from his seat, and landed on the stage. Wu Juren knocked down and stepped down.

Mukhba Khan said to the emperor in broken Chinese: "If all the masters in the Central Plains look like this, it is really a joke! If the emperor has any masters, call them all, and the king of the Khan will come to fight in person! "

The emperor stared at Khan on the stage, stretched out his hand and smiled and said, "Khan is worthy of being a man who gallops on the grassland, so mighty and brave. However, swords have no eyes, and I can't let generals hurt Khan."

Khan shouted: "I Qianghu people don't stick to these empty etiquette, the emperor must not shirk it!"

The emperor: "Okay, since Khan has this intention, I can't lose face, Xiao Aiqing."

All the officials in the hall were silent like cicadas, Henry Zhang did not want to dirty his clothes, but the emperor had an order, he could only obey, so he stood up from the seat, and lightly landed on the stage with light work, his clothes fluttered.
