Just a few days after Shangyuan, the people returned to normal life, going out early and returning late to work and support their families.But after all, the festive atmosphere still remains, the sweet smell of pastries in the air has not dissipated, and the streets are much more lively than before.

There are many people in the capital, and there are many rich people. The streets are crowded with people, and there are many hawker shops. It is a scene of prosperity.

In fact, this small world is not so peaceful now. Although the Jokhang Dynasty is powerful, it is not without other small countries around it.Not to mention the nomads in the north, there are also many small countries in the south.

The fighting power of the small southern countries is naturally inferior to that of the northern peoples who are strong and strong and good at fighting from birth, but the "uncivilized land" in the south has complicated terrain and language barriers, and the people there have always been very mysterious. The miraculous ancestral secret skills are even more difficult to deal with than the northern peoples with real swords and guns.

In fact, the current emperor Li Yan was also an emperor on horseback in his early years. He also took command of the army when he was still the prince, so he attached great importance to military affairs.Dazhao was already rich in materials and talented people, so it would not be difficult to deal with those northern peoples according to this posture.

It's the south...

Qingli was sitting in the restaurant facing the street, picking up the peanuts in hand and eating, while thinking quietly.

Lord Luo came in person, and the owner of the restaurant was there to wait on him.Over forty years old, the well-built boss graciously filled the empty wine glass for Qingli, and smiled flatteringly: "This is the most famous sweet-scented osmanthus brew in the shop. This sweet-scented osmanthus brew is different from ordinary wine. The fresher the better. This pot is this year's new wine from the shop, it has just been unsealed today, and it tastes very sweet, the prince will try it again?"

Qing Li took a sip as she said, and the taste was really good, so she winked at Xiao Yao who was beside her.

Xiaoyao took a piece of silver and handed it to the boss, and heard Yan Xuefeng say: "I heard that the lion head in your building is also a must, remember to send a copy to the master, and other signs are also included. Send it up. Then you can step back, my king doesn't like outsiders to serve you when you eat."

Seeing that King Luo was satisfied with his small shop, the boss was extremely happy, so he responded repeatedly and hurriedly withdrew.

Yan Xuefeng took the wine glass in his hand, but didn't drink it, he just rubbed the glass repeatedly with his fingers.

Xiao Yao followed Yan Xuefeng's side for a long time, seeing him like this, she knew that the prince might be thinking about something, so she didn't make a sound, just stood quietly by the side.

Sure enough, after about half a stick of incense, Yan Xuefeng put the wine glass in his hand on the table: "I remember...there was an old woman in the mansion in the past who was a mother and nurse. She seems to be from the southern barbarians?"

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, although she is young now, she is the most useful maid by the prince's side, she is always clever, she is very well-informed, she thought for a while and replied: "There is such a person, the servant heard that Originally from the Southern Barbarians, she came to Dazhao with her husband to do herbal medicine business, but unexpectedly met a bandit, and she was the only one left in the family, not even the infant child. When she was desperate, she happened to meet a foreigner. The old lady of the family, the old lady is kind-hearted. Seeing that she was pitiful, she kept her by her side as a nurse for the lady. Later, when the lady grew up, she left and went back to the south. The lady still had contact with her when she was alive, but now she is gone. The prince But what's the matter?"

Yan Xuefeng: "It's good that we still have contact, you go back and look up the way of contact back then for me, and try to contact again..."

Before Yan Xuefeng could finish speaking, she suddenly stopped.

Xiaoyao was surprised, looked up and saw Yan Xuefeng had been staring down the restaurant, and also looked along the past, but saw a young man downstairs, wearing a white dress, embroidered with dark patterns of silver thread on the dress, with black hair crowned with white jade Wearing a bundle, wearing the same color silver boots.

The white-clothed young man's body was like a pine tree, his face was like a crown of jade, and his eyes were like stars. One could tell from his clothing that he must be a noble young man of extraordinary status. He attracted many women to secretly watch him along the way.

Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, this person was clearly the Jokhang Emperor, Li Yan!

How could this emperor appear here?

Xiao Yao was startled.She is a child of the Yan family, so she already hated the Li royal family deeply, and Li Yan forced Yan Xuefeng to drink medicine when she finally got better, and she gritted her teeth at him even more.

Now seeing him here suddenly, I couldn't help but bring something out of my eyes.

On the other hand, Yan Xuefeng was very calm.

The man first glanced at Xiaoyao beside him to signal her to sort out her mood, then took a peanut and threw it downstairs.

Li Yan was walking along the street at first. Today is the last day to take a rest. The court affairs have been settled, and he really doesn't want to stay in the palace and listen to the Queen Mother talking about choosing concubines to fill the harem. Today is a clear day, so he simply took it with him The second and third guards went out in micro-services.

There is actually nothing interesting on the streets of the capital. Although there are many shops and things, but Li Yan has been the emperor in this capital for so many years, he has never seen any good things, and any new gadgets are not sent to the palace first for him to enjoy of?

Therefore, I just strolled along the way casually, and going out is just to change the environment and relax.

I was walking casually, but suddenly felt something falling from my head.Li Yan has practiced martial arts for many years, and once led an expedition, his agility and responsiveness are excellent, before the guards around him can make a move, he has already stretched out his hand to catch the fallen things.

But when he caught it in his hand and saw it in front of his eyes, Li Yan was stunned. The thing in his hand was round and tender red, with a slight warmth. It turned out to be a peanut that had been roasted and served with wine!

Who dared to throw peanuts at him?

Li Yan looked up in the direction where the peanuts were dropped, but was taken aback for a moment.

There was a restaurant facing the street beside him, and above his head was the window facing the street of the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.

The window was wide open, and there was a man in Chinese clothes sitting by the window.

The man rested his chin on one hand and was leaning over to look down.

When Li Yan raised his eyes, he just bumped into the smiling eyes of the man.

The man's dark blue sleeves mixed with his long black hair were blown up in the air by the breeze blowing in front of him. Seeing him looking up, he smiled and called: "Brother Huang."

There is another peanut between the white jade-like fingers.

It was Yan Xuefeng.

When I met Yan Xuefeng on the street, the other party took the initiative to say hello to me—although the method was difficult to describe, but in any case, as an elder brother, I should go upstairs to have a few drinks with him and chat with him by the way.

Li Yan nodded to Yan Xuefeng, then walked into the restaurant and walked straight to the second floor.

Seeing Li Yan entered the restaurant, Yan Xuefeng smiled and sat up straight again, and ordered the owner of the restaurant who happened to come in to prepare another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Yan Xuefeng's reaction was flat, but the owner of the poor restaurant who happened to come in to deliver food was really shocked when he heard Yan Xuefeng's greeting of "brother emperor".

Yan Xuefenggui is the only prince in Dazhao, and the only one who can be called "Emperor Brother" by him is...

The boss was fighting with each other, feeling dizzy and dizzy. When Li Yan came in, he was even more nervous when he saw his majesty. Li Yan was seated, but he still didn't dare to go up to pour wine for him.

Yan Xuefeng smiled and watched the excitement, Li Yan was always a man of few words, even if he was in a restaurant, he would just sit with a cold face.

The emperor didn't give orders, so the guards naturally didn't dare to do anything, and the atmosphere in the box suddenly became a little condensed.

The restaurant owner became even more nervous, and sweat began to drip on his face.

Yan Xuefeng had seen enough of the excitement, and finally showed kindness, smiled and asked the restaurant owner to prepare the bowls and chopsticks, and serve a few more dishes by the way.

The boss was relieved and hurried down.

Yan Xuefeng: "Brother Huang deserves to be an emperor. The aura of this body, when the younger brother came here just now, the boss was not so nervous."

Yan Xuefeng said with a smile, and reached out to take the jug on the table and poured Li Yan a glass: "The sweet-scented osmanthus wine recommended by the owner of the restaurant is a new one this year. It tastes really good, Brother Huang. ?”

Talking and smiling, he looked at Li Yan.

Yan Xuefeng spoke with a smile on his face, but Li Yan didn't pay much attention to what he said.

All his attention was on Yan Xuefeng's wrist.

Li Yan had noticed before that his younger brother's wrists were really good-looking.

Yan Xuefeng was delicate and frail since she was a child, and her skin was naturally white as jade after not seeing the sun for a long time.However, he used to have good bones and an excellent body suitable for martial arts. Although he is now thinner due to his frailty, his wrists are so slender that it seems that he can control his two wrists with one hand, but after all The foundation is still there.

Every protruding or concave curvature of every joint on the wrist is so just right, his fingers are long and slender, and the knuckles are also obvious, which clearly looks like a hand suitable for holding a gun and sword, but because of his skin white as jade , Because of the slender wrist, it shows a thinness inside.

No, it's not thin, it's sick...

It's as if a strong man who used to be skilled in the sky was weakened due to illness one day.

Just like, like the pot of phoenix bamboo that my mother used to admire for me that day, it was clearly the unbendable appearance with hidden muscles and bones, the arrogant self-contained appearance, but in the end it was directly broken.

Such strength hidden in the bones, such fragility left on the surface of every inch of muscle.

Like a beast in a cage, it is indestructible, but also fragile.

Such a contradiction that makes people want to be tender and pity...but also want to destroy severely.

Li Yan was in a daze.

He never felt that he had such a perverted hobby in this area before, and he never felt that he had any unreasonable thoughts about his "imperial brother".

But on the second day after the palace banquet, Yan Xuefeng was playing with a white jade paperweight beside him, and his mind was indeed swaying; now, in order to pour wine for himself, Yan Xuefeng raised his hand, and when the sleeve fell down, he revealed That part of the wrist...

"Brother Huang? Brother Huang!" Li Yanzheng was in a trance, but suddenly he heard Yan Xuefeng calling him.

With great concentration, he finally controlled his urge to grab Yan Xuefeng's wrist and raised his eyes to look at Yan Xuefeng.

Yan Xuefeng smiled: "Brother Huang, you've spilled all your wine. This younger brother is asking if you want my younger brother to pour you another glass."

Li Yan finally came to his senses, only to realize that he had spilled almost all the wine in his glass on the table, and there was not much left in the glass.

Li Yan shook his hand again, but this time he put down the wine glass in his hand.

The man lowered his eyebrows and straightened his slightly wet sleeves: "I suddenly remembered that there are still important things to do in the palace, so I'll go back to the palace first, and the snow wind will take it easy."

As he said that, he turned around and left without waiting for Yan Xuefeng to respond, his footsteps were hurried as if there was some beast chasing after him.

Seeing his reaction, Qingli was stunned, but then she raised her eyebrows and smiled, then turned her head and told Xiaoyao who was puzzled: "Let the boss bring another pot of wine... the mother and nurse that I said earlier, Remember to find someone you can trust in the mansion to do it when you go back."

Xiao Yao should be busy.

Li Yan went downstairs, and when he got to a secluded place, he heard the dissatisfied voice of the hidden guard beside him: "Your Majesty, the King of Luo actually called you 'Brother Huang' directly on the street, in broad daylight and in a large crowd, and let the restaurant The boss heard and guessed your identity. Fortunately, the owner of the restaurant has nothing wrong with it. Otherwise, if someone with a heart overheard it, it would threaten your safety. This King Luo is clearly a gangster with intentions, and he wants to use the hands of other rebels to kill you. Your life! You must guard against it."

Li Yan pursed his lips when he heard this. For some reason, he looked back. This place is some distance away from the restaurant. Although it is still on the same street, even with his vision, he could only vaguely see the street A piece of blue sleeve by the window.

Li Yan's eyes dimmed, but he only said: "Go back to the palace."
