"Shen Zhou, hurry up and find Lord Song." He Xichen turned around and ordered immediately.

"What about you, young master?" Lin Chenzhou was obviously worried.

"I'll go home first. After you find Mr. Song, tell him; if you can't find it, go directly to the Song Mansion and ask the housekeeper to pass on the news of my safety to Mr. Song."

Lin Chenzhou frowned and thought about it, and finally nodded with difficulty: "Young Master, be careful!" He handed his Rakshasa mask to He Xichen, waved his hands and ran towards Yujie.

He Xichen breathed a sigh of relief, and then solemnly apologized to the third person who was innocently implicated: "I'm really sorry for this young master."

"...I recognize you. You are this year's Dushan Jade Gentleman, Li Buyi, the only son of General Li." Liu Qi looks gentle and delicate, speaking so slowly, there is a calming sense of stability.

It should be said that Liu Qi also suffered a sudden and innocent disaster, and he went out to stroll around the Lantern Market, but he was suddenly chased for two streets, but he couldn't say anything harsh to He Xichen's face.

"I'm joking." He Xichen didn't feel the embarrassment of being called out at all, "I haven't asked for advice yet, what's your name, brother?"

"Heh..." Liu Qi smiled, his long and narrow red phoenix eyes shining like stars under the moonlight, "Miangui's surname is Liu, and his name is Qixian."

"The country's surname is not expensive, Brother Liu is really not an ordinary person."

Liu Qi cupped his hands noncommittally and said, "Since there's nothing wrong, I'll take my leave."

"Farewell."

The dark alley a few roads away from the Royal Street is not contaminated by the hustle and bustle of the Lantern Festival, with gray walls and green tiles, and the auspicious beast standing quietly on the roof gazing at the world, not eating fireworks.Water drops dripped from the eaves, one sound, which was extremely clear against the background of the distant laughter.

When Xiao Fuzi found out that I was missing, he was afraid that he would be frightened.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi held his hand behind his back, as leisurely as if he was strutting in a garden.It was rare for him not to go to the street alone with his servants, watching the full moon covered by dark clouds, watching the orange lights flickering in the distance, under the cover of the night, a sense of tranquility slowly surged from the bottom of his heart .

Being pulled out is not without some benefits. Naturally...meeting Li Xian'er can be regarded as earning...

"I still have to buy a lotus lantern. Daddy is still waiting." He remembered the purpose of this trip, but he lost his relaxed and peaceful expression, and put on a gentle and harmless appearance again.

"Brother Liu, wait!" A shout suddenly sounded from behind, and the lingering sound echoed in the silent long street.

Liu Qi paused and turned around slowly: "What's the matter?"

After walking a few steps, He Xichen turned around and chased after him and said, "Oh, it's really hard to tell." He was holding a terrifying Rakshasa ghost face in his hand, but his face was a little cuter than the evil ghost... maybe more than a few Point, "I can't find the way." Frankly without any shame.

This one really doesn't blame He Xichen, he only takes the road of Guozijian every day, and just now he ran around again, God knows where he is.

Well... even Liu Qi had to admit that an immortal might lose his head flying in the sky, let alone a fake immortal.

Liu Qi lowered his eyelids to cover his indifferent eyes, suddenly raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile: "Then let's go together."

"Brother Qixian is really a good person!" He Xichen issued a good person card without hesitation, and hurried forward to his side.

Liu Qi didn't expect He Xichen to be so approachable, he just helped him lead the way, and evolved from "Brother Liu" to "Brother Qixian" all at once.

The night dyes the delicate flowers and green leaves into a dark color, the night wind blows the moisture from the bubbling water under the Fengle Bridge, the noise of the Royal Street approaches, the hanging lights are stacked and the drums are stacked, and the sound of the pipes is clear.

He Xichen didn't talk to Liu Qi, and Liu Qi didn't talk to him either.This night is suitable for quiet walking. The shadows of the two people are dragged long by the light at the entrance of the alley.

Although there are many people on Fengle Bridge, it is much less than Yujie.Most of the people crowded downstairs in Huixian, listening to the chatter and laughter upstairs.He Xichen and Liu Qi kept a distance of three feet, wearing a mask, and no one disturbed them. Suddenly, he caught a sharp glimpse of a tall and thin man at the bridge head circling in the crowd, looking like a headless fly that couldn't find his way.

Isn't that silly Mingyue?It seems that Shen Zhou didn't find him, but let me meet him.

Song Yan not far away was bumped into a stone lion by the bridge.

It's really stupid...

Liu Qi also looked over, with a look of suspicion and astonishment flashing in his eyes.

He Xichen turned sideways with a funny face and cupped his hands with Liu Qi next to him, and said, "Thank you brother Qixian for leading the way, I have found a friend here, so let's leave now."

Liu Qi touched the mask on his face and said, "Farewell."

At the end of Fengle Bridge, the two said goodbye to each other, turned and parted ways.

The lights are bright and the moon is bright, the trees are filled with fire and silver flowers, the distant mountains on both sides of the river are like black clouds, the flags of wine shops are fluttering, and thousands of fireworks are bursting into bloom, illuminating He Xichen and Liu Qi who are walking towards each other.

Song Yan thought to himself that his luck was still very good.There are four generations in the family, and his father is also highly respected in the local area after he retires and returns to his hometown.He has studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. Although he is not considered talented and intelligent, he is also considered to have a lot of ink in his chest.Later, he was favored by a wise teacher. After three years of Dushanyu, he became an official through the scientific examination.Not surprisingly, he will marry a well-connected man and be a pure minister for 30 to [-] years. The ups and downs of the period are still unknown. If he survives the catastrophe and can return to his hometown safely, he will find a position as a teacher in Yunqi or Guozijian, and enjoy his old age .

But tonight's rough experience made him doubt whether he could really go on according to his plan so smoothly.

The crowd was surging, and Song Yan was pushed to the side of the stage by this group of people, and then led to the street by that group, wandering helplessly, unable to control himself.With great difficulty, he finally squeezed out of the siege and came to the Fengle Bridge by his own strength. He was already panting and sweating profusely.Fortunately, the mask on his face did not come off, otherwise he would not be able to run away if it caused an uproar.

Why didn't you hurry up!Song Yan looked at the palm of his hand, pursed his lips and sighed secretly, where is Mr. Li?But don't let anything happen.

Song Yan had also received the invitation from Huixianlou, but he didn't like to socialize by nature, so it happened that Li Jingfeng asked him for help, and after thinking about it, he agreed.

Don't do bad things with good intentions!If something happens to Mr. Li, then I... I really cannot escape the blame!

Song Yan blamed himself, and when he was dizzy, he suddenly heard someone shouting from the other side of the bridge: "Silly Mingyue, I finally found you!"

this voice...

Song Yan raised his head abruptly—the endless stream of people hurriedly passed by like phantoms, Qiaowei and his youth in Chinese clothes wearing the same Rakshasa mask waved vigorously at him, and the stream of fireworks fell into the water, reflecting another floating world.

Song Yan stuck for a while, then suddenly let go of the burden in his heart, and raised a bright smile and shouted loudly: "Well, I found you too, Fairy Qiao!"

Ouch, I will talk back.

Through the mask, He Xichen could also feel Song Yan's full smile,

The moon is like frost, and the wind is like water.On the Fengle Bridge, the two meet in the middle of the bridge.

"Master Song, are you alright?" He Xichen sneakily shifted the mask on his face, revealing half of his fair face and one bright eye.

"I'm fine... Mr. Li is also fine?"

"nature."

Song Yan suddenly became happy, and all the worries in his heart were swept away: "I don't think Mr. Li is such a pedantic person, so don't call me Mr. Song, just call me..." He thought for a while, "Just call me" Get it", in the next Song Yan, the expression got it. "

He Xichen raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, thinking that tonight is a shared adversity. This silly Mingyue is innocent and straightforward, and she can easily take care of her heart and soul. Fortunately, if she meets him, if someone else is cheated of money, body, and heart must.

"It's not easy to be disrespectful, I don't have a name yet, but Master gave me an alias "Lian Dong", if you get it, you can call me Lian Dong. "

Not everyone in the Hanshan Temple can confer talismans and enter the Tao, let alone He Xichen, who has an unfinished relationship in the world, who doesn't even have a serious Taoist name, so He Xichen's master gave them all aliases.At this time, He Xichen didn't expect that the old Li head in his family who hadn't studied for a few years would directly use "Liandong" as his nickname.

All kinds of river lights shone with warm light and filled the river under the Fengle Bridge. Most of the lights had a piece of paper on which was written good wishes or heartfelt prayers.The naughty little boy beckoned to his friends and beat the river lantern to the point of collapse with a bag of stones in his pocket. He was yelled at by the nimble and capable young man with his arms akimbo, and immediately scattered and fled.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Hahahaha!"

He Xichen, who was leaning on the bridge, laughed wildly.

"Liandong, calm down..." Song Yan reminded the boring guy in front of him somewhat helplessly.

"Splash him with water!" The children stopped running, squatted down and used their hands as ladles to raise the water high.

"Bullying people!" He Xichen felt that it was unfair, covered his eyes with his sleeves, and shouted, "Wow, Mr. A Rui is here again!"

The children were startled.

"Don't be afraid! He's scaring us!"

Turning around, the two people on the bridge were nowhere to be seen.

Relying on the fact that no one would recognize him, He Xichen walked swaggeringly on the road, looking here and there: "I got it, it's still early, so let's go for a walk?"

Song Yan glanced at the bright moon in the sky, and happened to walk behind the curved treetops.

"The play of Zhanjianxuan hasn't finished yet, is Liandong going to have a look there?"

"let's go!"

The two walked into the bustling crowd, with their hands folded in their wide sleeves, they walked towards the noisy teahouse.

There were laughter everywhere, at the prince's mansion not far from the imperial palace, Liu Qi, holding a lotus lantern in his hand, strolled into the room of the man who was honored and favored in the past.

"Father, Qixian is back." With a smile on his face, he looked at the handsome man by the window who was cleaning the guqin.

"Qixian? You're not Qixian." The man raised his head and shook his head, "My Qixian is only three years old, not as old as you..."

Liu Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Father forgot again, Qi Xian has grown up, look, this is the lotus lantern my son bought for you."

"Lotus lantern?" The man smiled in surprise, "Is it a gift from His Majesty?"

"...Yes." Liu Qi slowly suppressed the smile on his face.

"Give it to me!" The man stretched out his hand and took the lotus lantern, "That's great, Your Majesty still remembers that I like lotus lanterns."

Liu Qi Gujing looked at this poor and pathetic man calmly, squatted down, nestled beside him like a small animal, and said to himself: "One day, I will take you out of Chang'an, and you will walk away as quickly as possible." Far away, never come back...Dad, I met a fairy today..."

Guess that fairy will be a good chess piece at the right time.

***

In the majestic and splendid imperial palace, the hundred-step white marble staircase glowed coldly under the moonlight, and palace lanterns were hung under the corridors, stretching into the deep darkness where no light could be seen.

A banquet with hidden murderous intentions has come to an end. In front of the solemn palace gate, the high-ranking and powerful ministers got into the carriage and drove away from the palace wall with their own thoughts.

Li Jingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, clasped the low table in the car with his fingers, and sighed for a long time.

If Gongliang is still here...

Gongliang is Lin An's word.

The carriage of the General's Mansion moved forward steadily, and suddenly another carriage drove up side by side.

"Brother Li." The deep voice came to Li Jingfeng's ear from the next carriage, piercing through the sound of "cracking" horseshoes and rolling wheels.

Li Jingfeng frowned, opened the small wooden window in the car displeased, and looked outside, it was indeed the person he expected.

"What's the matter with the prime minister?"

"Brother Li is so brave to reject His Majesty's offer of marriage in public!" Yang Dun first boasted, and then looked serious, "Have you thought about the consequences, Brother Li?"

Li Jingfeng said coldly: "I don't believe that the prime minister has such kind intentions, and came here specially to remind me."

"Hey——Brother Li, why should you avoid me? You must know that I did not set up this game tonight. Your Majesty's big battle is not just targeting you alone. On the contrary, Brother Li and I are together." Yang Dun said, "The dog should have already disclosed the news to Mr. Ling, why? Brother Li doesn't know?"

"I know, but I didn't expect tonight's situation to be so big! Just tell the prime minister, what do you want to do?"

"The court is unpredictable. Today we are enemies, and tomorrow you may become my ally. The world is so unpredictable." Yang Dun said with emotion, "Brother Li, I know that you are dedicated to defending northern Xinjiang. Tang fights disdainfully, but His Majesty is old, potential dragons are in the abyss, ready to go, and it will be more beneficial to stand in line earlier. The prince has no way, and the other princes are eyeing. If we join hands, in the future..."

"Shut up!" Li Jingfeng yelled, "Old thief Yang, you are making trouble, and you alone want to control the situation? Believe it or not, I will join you tomorrow!"

But Yang Dun was as immovable as a mountain, and vowed: "Brother Li won't. Brother Li also knows that His Majesty treats me very kindly. If we play at the same time tomorrow, will he believe you? Or me? Let the young master still Brother Li, you must not act recklessly." He seemed loyal, but what he said made Li Jingfeng tremble again and again, "As for Brother Li's question, heh—"

He hooked the corners of his lips, and raised his proud head: "Yes! It's up to me! Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the sage's unique knowledge, and create peace for all generations! Zhang Zi's "four words" are all in the world! The ambition of a scholar! "

Li Jingfeng clenched his fists tightly, his veins were exposed, and he could not express his restraint on his face: "The prime minister will plan on his own, don't drag the general's mansion into the water, the general's mansion can't afford to wade through this muddy water."

"Brother Li was joking, and Yang came here to talk, of course it won't be in vain." Yang Dun narrowed his eyes, "Military power is Brother Li's life-saving talisman, and it is also a life-threatening talisman. Your Majesty can't help but make a move tonight, Li Brother still want to stay out of it?"

"Hahaha! I, Li Jingfeng, joined the army at the age of 12, became famous at the age of 27, and became a marquis at the age of 40. I have behaved well all my life, and I dare to pat my chest and say that I have never done anything to be sorry for the Liu family or the world! Your Majesty If you want to take me, you can take me, as long as you can find a reason, you can kill Li if you want!" Li Jingfeng suddenly sneered, "But whoever dares to touch my son, I will destroy his whole family!"

This lunatic!

Yang Dun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, have you forgotten the "unnecessary" from the previous dynasty? "

"Since ancient times, the generals who hold heavy soldiers should be damned!" Li Jingfeng calmed down and said, "Old thief Yang, I know your plot, don't think that soldiers are stupid, huh! Let's put it this way, don't even think about cooperating. , I won’t trouble you, and you don’t want to provoke me, what’s going to happen in the future...Old thief Yang, ten years, after ten years, the fleas in northern Xinjiang will be completely settled, so I’ll resign and retire!”

Yang Dun's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help feeling admiration, sympathy and happiness in his heart.

Lin Gongliang is not dead, so he must not be able to tolerate Li Jingfeng's calculations like this.Today, he took the risk to explore Li Jingfeng's position, and he had planned to push him up. Even if he couldn't draw people to his side, at least he had to make sure that he wouldn't get involved in other dirty things.

"In this way, the covenant between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion is finalized?" he asked.

"We have never been in the same league, so how did we come up with the theory of covenant? The two will not offend each other, that is my biggest concession." Li Jingfeng stabbed him.

But Yang Dun laughed and said, "Even if you are not in the same way, you can still walk in the same way! Brother Li is righteous, so I will go ahead!" He arched his hands through the window, and the groom outside the car seemed to be instructed to speed up by waving his whip.

Li Jingfeng glanced at him, and closed the wooden window with a bang.

"...So, I almost had a stepfather?"

"Don't worry, father refused."

When Li Jingfeng returned to the General's Mansion, he told He Xichen everything that happened tonight. He wanted him to be on guard, but He Xichen's focus was always very strange.

"Is the uncle who gave the marriage good-looking?"

"It should look good... No! That's not the point!" Li Jingfeng stopped the unrestrained topic in time, "It's not easy, you are already 17 years old, and my father was already a centurion when you were your age!"

"Hey—with Father here, it's not easy to mess around and wait for death."

Li Jingfeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly said guiltily: "My family is not easy to be a gentleman from Dushan, full of talents, and should have followed the path of the imperial examination, made a career in the sky, and displayed his ambitions, instead of making compromises and pretending to be a dude all day long. It is not easy, it is Father I am so sorry."

He Xichen said with relief: "Father thinks too much, Dushan Jade is easy to get, and "Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting" is a small way after all, it can't compare with the great way of governing the country and the world. "

"Don't try to lie to me, you are as smart as your father, and you take care of the overall situation in everything you do. You don't have to worry about father, what should my son be afraid of?" Speaking of Lin An, Li Jingfeng couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he almost fell tears.

"My son is happy to be a dandy, but he is not willing to be a scholar. I don't know about the affairs of the court, but I also know the truth that a big tree attracts the wind. Who would care about a dandy who is not doing his job properly and looking for flowers and flowers?"

"Who dares to say that you are trash!"

He Xichen smiled, and then said with a serious expression: "Father, the one above is old, but he is suspicious and hostile. Yun Qi who is standing on the prince's side is looking forward to his heroism, and Yang Zihou, who is wandering around, is a group. Still dormant, the three-party game, a wrong step will lead to the abyss... Father holds the army in the northern border, the most powerful supporter anyone wants."

Li Jingfeng only knew that his son was talented, but he didn't expect that he could analyze the situation in the DPRK and China clearly and logically. Hearing what he said, he quickly said: "Father never wants to participate in party disputes!"

"It's not easy to know." He Xichen's eyes were so bright and cold when he was not smiling, people dare not look directly at them, "The bloody storm caused by the alternation of the old and the new will affect others a little bit, and the peeling will be light. Father doesn't get involved, they But it may not make my father feel better." He grabbed Li Jingfeng's callused hand and asked with a slight smile, "Father wants power or enjoys happiness?"

Li Jingfeng was startled, and quickly grabbed He Xichen's shoulder with his backhand: "Son..."

"If you want power, it's not easy to help you. One person is under one person and over ten thousand." He Xichen said lightly, "If father wants to enjoy life in peace, it's not easy to help you! We stay away from right and wrong, go to the cold mountain to watch, idle in the clouds and wild cranes, free and easy , wouldn't it be nice?"

Li Jingfeng looked at the young man in front of him in ecstasy—immature but not naive, with an appearance like a fairy, but also with methods like thunder.They have been separated for 12 years, and now they have only been together for less than half a year, and both sides are approaching cautiously.

He suddenly smiled gratifiedly: "When I crush all the bugs in Beidi to death, we will go wandering in the rivers and lakes. At that time, you will be a young hero, and I will be a hero. If the road is rough, I will draw my sword to help. If there is a young man willing It would be the best if you make a promise with your body!"

He Xichen's arched back suddenly collapsed, and he covered his face in a bit of collapse: "Wake up, old Li! We're talking about saving our lives!"

Suddenly his head was heavy, Li Jingfeng touched his head, and said warmly: "Leave it to me."

He doesn't like fighting. In fact, he prefers to live in seclusion in Nanshan, where he fishes, woodcutters, farms and studies, but since he has a mission, he can only move on.
