Please calm down your anger

Chapter 386 Prince Duguxi, unlucky Zhao Shibo

"Master Wang, this way please!"

After entering the East Palace, Prince Zhan Shiqiu Shiyuan restrained his smile, and his words and deeds were personable, and he abided by etiquette, even the distance of every step seemed to be measured.

Wang Xuan was not surprised either.

Dayan follows the ancient Zhou etiquette, and the six masters in the East Palace are complete.Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao are the "Three Grand Masters of the Eastern Palace", and Shaoshi, Shaofu, and Shaobao are the "Three Young Masters of the Eastern Palace".

Logically speaking, they are all those who assist in the training of the prince, but most of them are concurrently held by important officials in the court, and sometimes the head of a family with high morals and the leader of a great religion are invited to take the post.

For example, Zhenjun Guangyuan was once the Grand Master of the Eastern Palace of the current emperor.

The position of Prince Zhan Shi is equivalent to the chief manager of the Eastern Palace. He manages all affairs big and small. He is a close friend of the Prince and is likely to enter the center in the future.

They are all the ones who gave birth to the exquisite heart with seven apertures.

Wang Xuan remained silent, striding forward without looking sideways.

Xiao Zhongmou was left outside to be received by a special person, although Ah Fu was by his side, but since he arrived here, he was extra cautious, following every step, looking around from time to time.

The East Palace seems to be peaceful, but there are many masters hidden in it. Although they restrain their energy, they can't hide it from Ah Fu.

Passing by the side of the two empty halls, and passing through several corridors, an exquisite courtyard appeared in front of you.

In the courtyard, there are green bamboos, cold plums and proud snow, the eyes of ancient stone beasts are shining, and there is a three-story building standing in the wind and snow.

"My lord, the crown prince is inside."

After Prince Zhan Shiqiu Shiyuan said something, he stepped back carefully and closed the door by the way.

Wang Xuan raised his head to look at the small building, and saw the window on the second floor, suddenly poked his head out, it was the crown prince Duguxi, and said with a smile: "Captain Wang, you are finally here, the wine is warmed up, why don't you come up and share with us?" Have a drink or two?"

It looks like an old friend meeting for dinner.

To be honest, although they often exchanged letters, the two had only met once, and they had their own calculations at the time.

Is this a courtesy corporal...

Although Wang Xuan thought it was interesting, but his expression remained unchanged, he cupped his hands slightly and said: "Thank you, Prince, Wang is addicted to alcohol, and I just happened to taste the fine wine in the palace."

After that, he opened the door and entered the small building.

What surprised him was that the furnishings in the small building did not have the slightest extravagance in the palace. Paintings and paintings, futon incense burner, more like a secluded place for monks.

And on the front wall, there is a portrait of a woman in white clothes and a feather crown, sitting on the top of the mountains and watching the sea of ​​clouds roll, but the face cannot be seen clearly.

It is not an ancient painting, nor is it signed.

Wang Xuan felt strange, but without looking sideways, he walked slowly up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

I saw that the second floor is also similarly arranged, on the wooden couch by the window, a small red clay stove warms the wine and smells fragrant, and there is also a charcoal-fired red copper hot pot, where the broth is bubbling.

There was obviously a formation in this room. It was cold and snowy outside, but warm as spring inside. Prince Duguxi sat cross-legged on the couch in Taoist clothes, and said with a smile, "Captain Wang, please."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ah Fu who was following up, and said with a smile: "This is your god dog. Uncle Guo is very greedy. I heard that he asked someone to look for a bitch everywhere, and was tricked by Qianmen."

Wang Xuan laughed, "I have also heard about this matter."

The prince put on such a posture, so he naturally wouldn't be disappointed. After smiling and cupping his hands, he also came to the couch and sat down.

"Did Captain Wang have any trouble along the way?"

"There are some small things, but I have gained a lot..."

"It's the turtle demon spirit armor. I've had someone check it out. There was a grand event in Tiantong Pavilion a few years ago, and the family's magic lineages would be traded with each other. Not only would there be spiritual materials from the foreign domain, but there would also be a lot of magic art refining diagrams. You can go and see."

"Thank you prince."

The two ate and chatted, and the strangeness was eliminated between pushing and changing cups, as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for many years.

But Wang Xuan was smiling, but his heart became more and more vigilant.

Although he is well-known all over the world, he is the Crown Prince of Great Yan in front of him, and he may soon become the Lord of Great Yan, and may even become the emperor of the human race in the future.

Doing it this way only represents one possibility:
trouble!

As if aware of Wang Xuan's thoughts, Prince Duguxi smiled slightly, looking at the wine glass in his hand, "Don't be too careful, Captain Wang, apart from the friendship between the monarch and his ministers, Gu just thinks that you are very similar to me."

After all, the real qi rose from his body, forming a white circle of light behind him, and then quickly disappeared.

"Three flowers gather on the top?"

Wang Xuan's pupils shrank, "The prince's morality is profound, I admire you."

What he said was not false.

Cultivators pay attention to the dual cultivation of life and soul. Even if you are a talented person, have a complete inheritance of secret methods, and do not lack spiritual materials for cultivation, you must also pay attention to water-hardened kung fu.

The old Taoist Li Shouxin, who practiced painstakingly all his life, failed to break through the five qi and dynasties...

Guo Shouqing, the female champion, is extremely talented, a disciple of the railway people, and in less than forty years, she has broken through the five qi dynasty, and she is already an elite disciple in the sect...

His wife, Mo Qingrou, has the talent of arrogance, and she can attract Yuehua at the first practice. Even if she practices "Taiyin Formation Technique", it will take several years to break through...

The prince is less than fifty now, and it looks like the three-flower gathering has been settled for a long time, and he may refine Qi to transform into a god at any time, prolonging his life for three hundred years, his talent can be imagined.

Extend life for three hundred years...

Wang Xuan seemed to understand what it meant.

Prince Duguxi looked around again, his eyes darkened, "Wang Duwei, do you know where this is?"

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "Please tell the prince clearly."

Prince Duguxi smiled calmly, "This is the place where orphaned mothers cultivate, and it is also the only place where orphans in the palace love to be."

"Although winning the throne can give power to the whole world, you also have to preside over the art of conferring gods. Since then, you can only live for a hundred years. There are many talents in the royal family. Not everyone is interested in the throne. The same is true for Gu, but he has to do it."

"Wang Duwei is a military wizard. With your talent, if you practice the way of longevity, you will not be bad, but if you practice the military, you will also not live to a hundred years. You can be regarded as the same disease..."

It turned out to be the case.

But I want to live forever...

Wang Xuan didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only remain silent.

Crown Prince Duguxi shook his head slightly, his eyes became solemn, "Everyone says you, Wang Xuan, are a good military strategist and handsome in the army, but Gu values ​​your luck and ruthlessness even more. .”

"Behind you are the people of Yong'an, your family and subordinates, and behind you are the royal family, Yan, and even the fate of the human race. You and I can't help ourselves. One step back is the abyss..."

"Captain Wang, remember this remark!"

Wang Xuan cupped his hands solemnly: "Xuan, you will live up to the high hopes of the crown prince!"

"it is good!"

Dugu Xi laughed, and turned his head to look out the window at the boundless world, "What's the use of living a dream of immortality for hundreds of years? Banished Immortal Liu Chang'an, Bing Sheng Li Yuan, you and my monarch and ministers join hands, after a thousand years, we should leave history with them!"

Wang Xuan: "..."

……

As night falls, the lights are on.

In the sky full of snow, Wang Xuan and Xiao Zhong managed to get out of the East Palace, and then left the imperial city accompanied by Qiu Shiyuan.

Xiao Zhongmou asked in a low voice: "My lord, how is it?"

Wang Xuan's eyes moved slightly, "The crown prince treats people with kindness, just like the rumors. It seems that there is something hidden in his heart, and he has great ambitions to be as famous as Liu Chang'an and Li Yuan."

"That's natural."

Xiao Zhongmou smiled and said: "Great Chu and Wei have unified the human clan, and the Great Yan has ruled for three hundred years. If the Southern Jin Dynasty can be wiped out this time, it will be regarded as the orthodox Human Emperor."

Wang Xuan shook his head and smiled, turned his head and glanced at the imperial city in the snowstorm, "Our prince probably thought of more."

He remembered a mural that the crown prince showed him before he left. On it, the names of the ancient human cities in the four barren lands, recognized as wild and uninhabited areas...

"Master Wang!"

At this moment, a voice sounded in the distance.

After Wang Xuan turned his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the wind and snow, Guo Luquan was standing beside the carriage in a black robe and a high crown, most of his white hair had turned to black, his complexion was ruddy, and he was no longer as old as before.

"Old Guo!"

Wang Xuan smiled brightly, strode forward, glanced left and right, and joked, "Your hair is already black, so I'm going to call you Brother Guo from now on?"

"so rude!"

Guo Luquan scolded with a smile: "You are also in an important position now, why are you not as stable as before?"

After finishing speaking, he sighed and said: "Speaking of which, if you hadn't given up all the credit, how could this old man have such a chance, the qi and blood continued, and now it is the state of the five qi, and it is no longer false to refine qi and transform into a god. "

Wang Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Old Guo, you deserve it."

The two met at the end of Wei, and when he was at his worst, Guo Luquan helped him with all his strength. If he hadn't been running around in Fucheng, how could he have forced those dharma blood to promise to fight karma.

At this moment, a young man in Tsing Yi beside the carriage stepped forward and respectfully cupped his hands: "My lord, the house has been packed, and many people have sent posts today."

This is a child of the Mo family.

Since Wang Xuan came to the capital, he naturally needed a place to stay. Fortunately, Mo Guanchao's old house when he was the servant of the household department had not been sold, so he asked the Mo family's children to come and arrange it in advance.

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

Wang Xuan was in a good mood, and immediately led everyone away.

Shendu also has curfew rules. At this time, just after arriving in Xushi, the drums of all the squares and cities were rumbling, and the doors of the squares began to close. Only the golden armored cavalry of the Xiaocai Army remained on the street, patrolling in formation.

Wang Xuan had the crown prince's warrant, so it was naturally unimpeded, and he went to the east of the city after patrolling along the way.

Mo Xunchu, a son of the Mo family next to him, introduced in a low voice: "Grandpa, most of the wealthy and noble families of the Shendu family lived in Beicheng. Although the master was the servant of the household department at that time, his family was weak and could only afford a small house in Mingshanfang, Nancheng. , if you are not used to it..."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Wang doesn't like ostentation, the small house is nice and quiet, and I have to leave after the Lantern Festival, so there is no need to bother."

With Yong'an's current strength, it is natural to buy a mansion in Shendu, but in Wang Xuan's view, it is completely unnecessary.

After hearing this, Mo Xunchu hesitated, "Master, you are quite famous in the capital of God, if someone makes fun of you..."

"What a joke."

Guo Luquan laughed beside him and said, "Your uncle is never a showman, don't worry, no one dares to laugh at you."

While talking, everyone has arrived at Mingshan Square in Nancheng.

The gate of the workshop was closed, but there was a short and fat man guarding the gate with a few Marquis Wu. When they saw each other, they went up and cupped their hands and said, "But Mr. Bingzhou Wang is in Xiaming Shanfang Fangzheng Liu Muyuan. I have seen you."

Wang Xuan got off his horse and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Liu Fangzheng."

"Where is it."

Liu Fangzheng said with a flattering expression: "When Master Mo was here, he took care of the neighbors in the workshop. When Mr. Wang settled down in Mingshan Square, the people in the workshop were all honored, and the Shangyuan military performances must all come out to cheer for him. "

"Quickly, open the door!"

With an order, the Marquis Wu hurriedly pushed open the door of the square, and suddenly a bright light came into view.

Even though the curfew has been enforced in Shendu, the square city is still very lively. There are constant noises from teahouses and restaurants along the street, and there are even children in the square rushing out from the alleys to fight.

clap la la...

A drunken outcast was thrown out of the tavern, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he hiccupped and fell asleep in the snow.

Liu Fangzheng said embarrassedly: "Our Mingshanfang is famous for its fine wines, so it is naturally a bit lively. When Mr. Mo is here, he often visits, but the most famous one is the Wuweifang run by Ms. Mo's maid. Unfortunately, after Mr. Mo resigned, it was deserted. Quite a few…”

After finishing speaking, he glared at Marquis Wu, "Hurry up and move that guy away, lest he freeze to death tomorrow morning."

Wang Xuan smiled knowingly.

He suddenly understood why Mo Guanchao was here, and his wife Mo Qingrou often talked about it.

There are fireworks and human feelings in the city that are rare in gods...

Mo's house is in the deepest part of the square, relatively quiet, it is only a courtyard with three entrances, the courtyard has already been brightly lit, and several maids and servants bring hot water to wash when entering the door.

Everyone had already had dinner, so Mo Xunchu asked someone to serve hot tea, and then took out a post:
"My lord, this is a message sent by Uncle Li Guo. Please come to the banquet. The person who delivered the message waited for a long time and left after hearing that you had gone to the East Palace..."

"This is a post from the Taoist temple of the Taiyi Sect. I heard that the new master Hongyuan is an old friend of yours..."

"This is a post from the Jinxiu Pavilion, please go over and discuss the production of the military flag..."

"This is a post from Tiantong Pavilion, inviting you to participate in the Treasure Appreciation Conference..."

Wang Xuan took them one by one, not surprised.

He will naturally have many things to do when he comes to God, except for the uncle of the country, all of which are planned, and in the future he will inevitably have to deal with various forces.

However, after reading it, he frowned slightly: "Did Zhao Shibo send anyone?"

The Zhao Shibo he mentioned was the former Captain Zhao of Bingzhou. He lost his official position because of the disaster in the capital. He came to Shendu to do business and took good care of him.

In my last letter, I mentioned that the gods must conspire to get drunk.

Unexpectedly, after Mo Xunchu heard this, his face changed and he cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to talk to Young Master about this matter."

"Just last night, Li Xuan, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, died suddenly while having a banquet at home. The Ministry of Punishment sent people to check and said that there were assassins from the Southern Jin Dynasty. Mr. Zhao was also a guest at the servant's mansion. At this time, they are all locked up in the Ministry of Punishment."

"A Southern Jin assassin again?"

Wang Xuan said speechlessly: "It's been so long, you should have found out, and you haven't let him go yet?"

Mo Xunchu smiled wryly and said, "We found out, the Southern Jin assassin is Mr. Zhao's son-in-law..."
