From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 176 First Snow
"how did you do it?"

Shen Luoyan bandaged Luo Shixin with medicine, and listened to Yang Qing's explanation of the reason, knowing that ordinary people could not master this method at all.

Recalling the experience just now, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the figure sitting cross-legged on the bed, and her heart is still hard to be at peace.

Originally, she thought that she had already overestimated this man who was born out of nowhere and dismissed the imperial power, as if he was always superior.

But now I understand that it is still underestimated.

In the outskirts of Nanyang, he rode thousands of horses, killing Zhu Can's bandit soldiers and corpses all over the field; in Luoyang city, he flew into the sky with his dragon, and quelled the chaos in one fell swoop.

As for the sword attack just now, the seemingly omnipotent aura made her understand that no matter how much Li Mi hides and forbears, he will not be his opponent if he plots secretly.

His pursuit may determine that he will not be a good leader, but he naturally possesses the qualities to be a leader, something that Li Mi does not have.

"Thank you, Commander Shen."

Seeing that she was out of her mind, she tied six or seven knots in her hand with gauze, Luo Shixin had to remind her.

"Remember not to use too much force during this time."

Suddenly returning to his senses, Shen Luoyan looked at Yang Qing and said, "Master, why don't you let General Luo stay here?"

"You go to arrange."

When Luo Shixin lived together in Jufulou, Shen Luoyan also left on his own to contact Kou Zhong.

Yang Qing walked to the window and looked to the southeast. At this time, the fire was extinguished, but the north wind was blowing faster and colder...

……

Li Shimin rode his horse all the way back to the imperial city, and didn't get on his horse until the north gate of Taiji Palace.

Chang'an Taiji Palace was originally designed and built by Yu Wenkai in the Sui Dynasty.

According to the theory of "Book of Changes", in order to show the respect of the royal family, I built the palace in the northern center of Chang'an according to the position of the Ziwei star in the North Pole.

Its scale is magnificent, even better than the Qianyang Palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

After getting on the horse, Luo Shixin tossed the reins to the palace guards beside him, and rushed down the long white marble steps behind the gate of Taiji Palace.

At this time, the night was getting dark, but from a distance, I could see the bright lights in the Tai Chi Palace, and there were faint voices of arguing and reprimanding.

Before being informed by the eunuch behind the door, Luo Shixin stepped into the hall, and saw Brother Yang sitting quietly under the dragon chair deep in the small hall.

Several people stood on both sides, arguing with each other about Hugh.

Those on the right are brother Yang's confidantes and Hao Yanlu's party, and those on the left who seem to be at a disadvantage in speech are all my confidants.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."

Brother Yang has not yet officially announced that he is enthroned in the sky, but some people in the Li family have already discussed the issue of titles, but have already determined their respective names.

After all, to call yourself emperor is just a piece of imperial edict.

"Get up." As soon as Luo Shixin retreated from the hall, the two parties died down, and they wanted to continue arguing.

Brother Yang propped his elbows on one side of the dragon chair and sat motionless. Seeing me get up, he rolled his eyelids and asked, "What did he do, why did he come back then?"

The rest of the people were all silent in their ears, and Luo Shixin understood Hao Yan's style better.

When discussing the use of troops or talking, I occasionally hate to make people fall into a trap.

So I replied fiercely: "Kou Zhong had a dispute with his younger brother Hao Yanlu in the city, and my son-in-law went to wait and see to prevent the situation from escalating."

"How is the result?"

"Li Shimin has been beheaded by him."

"Kou Zhong..." Brother Yang squinted his eyes and muttered silently, then asked knowingly, "Who is this?"

Feeling helpless in Luo Shi's confidence, I was about to pick up the topic and start the meaningful charade, when no one answered:
"Kou Zhong is the original king of Yue, Yang Yu. Before the death of Yang Guang, the faint king, he was proclaimed emperor by Hao Yanlu. The former Li Jiancheng wanted to usurp the throne, but he was beheaded in public.

This person fought against Zhu Can in Nanyang, and even subdued Wagang Haoyan in the battle of Luoyang. Before that, he changed his name and was in Luoyang..."

Reports about Kou Zhong kept coming to her ears, but Hao Yanlu felt a stagnant air in her chest getting stronger and stronger.

Those things are considered secrets in the inner circle of the Li family, and they can even be said to be well-known.

Brother Yang deliberately asked people to repeat it, but it was to express my dissatisfaction with the way I dealt with it, and to pave the way for the previous criticisms of the small and dark.

Turning my head to look at Xu Ziling, I saw that I was squinting behind me, but there was a faint smile on the corner of my mouth.

"So that's how it is." As Hao Yanlu expected, Brother Yang turned his gaze over after listening to the report, and said hotly or coldly: "Kou Zhong, hehe.

If that person had been born 70 years earlier, he would definitely be a ZTE king.But what should I do now, should you go to see me, or should I come to see you? "

Hearing that, Luo Shixin finally said patiently: "Father, Luoyang is certainly a place that must be taken. But if it is possible to use swords and soldiers, why bother to let the soldiers die and the people suffer?"

"Oh?" Brother Yang said with a smirk: "Listen to your son, has this Kou Zhong refused to hand over Luoyang?"

Luo Shixin shook his head: "My son has not had time to talk to me yet."

At that time Xu Ziling asked from the side: "Where did you get such absurd news? It must be rumors from some random people in the world, right?"

"My little brother seems to be very contemptuous of people in the Jianghu."

He replied blandly, Luo Shixin knew that Xu Ziling actually valued the military power of the people in the Jianghu very much, and it was just that he voted for me when he was older.

"A joke! Since ancient times, the one who won the heavens is the general who decides the tripod and the prime minister who governs the country. Now Guanzhong is full of talents, both civil and military. How can some people in the world hinder the small situation?"

"My little brother is wrong. People like Li Shimin who are trying to gain fame and reputation are indeed very useful. Even if they die in a back alley, they will still be ridiculed by those they are loyal to."

"Don't talk nonsense, you're talking about Kou Zhong!"

"Brother is also talking about this person, I beg you, brother, I want to make people shoot again!"

"As soon as Kou Zhong dies, the dragons of Luoyang will have the first ten days to decide, how can you let go of that opportunity!"

"Based on your experience in leading the army as a young man, Luoyang should be determined by the battle!"

"Does he really think he can win the battle? Ah!?" Xu Ziling said slowly, "If not for the concerted efforts of everyone present in the past few years, so that he has no worries about the future, how could he win consecutive battles with a single army?

If you are the crown prince, Xiqin Xueju can also calm you down! "

Luo Shixin heard the words and said calmly: "My brother hates leading the army so much, you can also ask yourself to resign from the crown prince."

"he……"

"Enough!" Seeing that the quarrel between the two became more and more unrestrained, Hao Yan also felt a deep headache.

With one hand on my forehead, I raised my hand to point at Hao Yanlu and said angrily, "He said that Luoyang depends on the war, is that true?"

"My son is willing to do his best!"

"I want him to do his best." Brother Yang took down his own emperor and proclaimed himself, his face became serious: "I want a result."

"Okay." Luo Shixin nodded and said, "I will see you tomorrow night."

"Why do you have to stay late? Go early in the morning! If you agree, I will kill you!"

Luo Shixin frowned and said: "Tomorrow, I will go hunting with my father..."

"He used it, and it would be fine without his little brother following along."

After a little thought in his heart, Luo Shixin finally kowtowed and said: "My son takes orders."

"Go away."

Brother Yang, who was already sleepy, saw that the matter was finalized and he was waiting for someone else to talk about it, so he got up and went to the front hall.

After everyone had finished presenting gifts, Luo Shixin looked at Xu Ziling.Seeing me surrounded by people, I left the hall contentedly.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Kou Zhong and Hao Yanlu had breakfast, and checked my wounds for healing.

Just as I was about to go back to my room to rest, I heard someone knock on the door.

Hao Yanlu got up to open the door, and saw Shi Feixuan standing in the door.

Today you don't dress up as a woman again, but dress up as a man.

From Kou Zhong's sitting angle, you can see that your hair is combed towards the clouds and a fragrant bun, and a golden hairpin in the shape of auspicious clouds is the base, with white jade carved into plum blossoms inlaid under it.

Your neck is slender, your skin is as white as snow, and your exquisite facial features are calm and introverted.

A pair of bright eyes that could be mesmerizing, but like a still lake, it makes people feel a sense of tranquility.

Shen Luoyan is still more than a year old now, when he first saw such a fairy-like figure with wide-sleeved skirt and white clothes better than snow, he froze in place for a while.

Concubine Shixuan turned her body slightly, and looked at Kou Zhong through Shen Luoyan: "Can I let you retreat first?"

"Girl, please step back!"

Startled suddenly, Hao Yanlu realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly turned sideways to make way.

Heat is Fang Hao Yan said in a deep voice inside the room: "Did you ask you to come back?"

"Ah? You think..." Shen Luoyan looked at Kou Zhong ignorantly, seeing that my face was filled with joy and anger, then he stretched out his hand to stop Shi Feixuan.

It's just that my originally bronze-colored handsome face has flushed red.

"Is Yang Qing blaming you for supporting Zhou last night?"

"Shi Xin, let him go back and rest." After Shen Luoyan left, Kou Zhong said hastily: "You don't need other people's protection, he and you are far from that friendship."

Xiumei frowned slightly, Shi Feixuan said fiercely: "Is there any misunderstanding between you?"

"You're just telling the truth."

"No matter what, Feixuan is grateful to Yang Qingzhaohong for not attacking King Qin last night."

"Occasionally you will retaliate, and it has nothing to do with Niao Hongzhan." Kou Zhong picked up the long sword from under the table and hung it on his waist: "Xu Ziling chopped off one of your upper fingers, and you will let me return it."

"He..." Shi Feixuan was startled, then smiled wryly, "Is Yang Qing afraid of disturbing cause and effect?"

Seeing your reaction, doubts arose in Kou Zhong's heart.

Later, Wang Shichong and I speculated that Shi Feixuan might not intend to stir up conflicts between Hao Yanlu and me, so as to clear the way for Luo Shixin.

But at this moment, Concubine Shixuan is obviously in favor of my encounter with Xu Ziling, and her expression is definitely fake.

And the inexplicable mention of cause and effect made me feel even more strange.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly sensed that there was no carriage coming from the direction of the imperial city.

As the carriage got closer and closer, Xia Baidao's aura of being weaker than the special person finally appeared around him.

Turning around and walking to the window, Kou Zhong looked up and saw this plain carriage parked upstairs.

The people scattered around are obviously guards in the car.

When a person came out through the curtain and raised his head to smile at me, Shi Feixuan's voice also sounded in front of him: "King Qin has arrived, can Hao Yan go upstairs and see you?"

"Why does your son go up to see me? Will I come down myself?"

Shen Luoyan, who had just left for a long time, also returned to the house when she realized that no one was surrounding her.

Kou Zhong ignored the two people in front of him, but stood by the window, facing Luo Shixin across the air.

The north wind was howling, chilling her face, Hao Yanlu's smile changed, revealing convincing sincerity.

Whether it is the emperor's mind, or nature.

Just because before I became emperor, I could make Wei Zheng, who is known as the straight girl, live to the end of his life, Kou Zhong had reason to feel disgusted with me.

"Go up and walk."

With Shen Luoyan behind, Hao Yan walked upstairs with Shi Feixuan.

After leaving Jufulou, the carriage beside Luo Shixin had already left, and a group of guards in casual clothes were also scattered among the passers-by.

"Hao Yan, you will never see him again."

According to age and seniority, Luo Shixin's name like that is of course appropriate.

But I had a wry smile all over my face, and I had exhausted the embarrassing situation of the Li and Yang families.

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "One of the purposes of your coming to Chang'an is to see him with your own eyes."

Luo Shixin smiled even more when he heard this, and I stretched out my hand to lead towards the Yuema Bridge: "So, if you walk this way, let's talk while walking."

I have secretly observed and understood Kou Zhong for a long time, and I feel that I am already familiar with him; while Kou Zhong knows even less about me.

Therefore, the two quickly reached a tacit understanding, like two elderly friends in Chang'an City, stepping down the Yuema Bridge side by side.

Concubine Shixuan was also very happy to see such a situation, so she kept her word and only followed in front of the two of them.

"Ever since you heard that he beheaded Li Jiancheng to revive the prosperity of Luoyang, you have thought many times that you would meet him someday, but you never thought it would be in Chang'an."

Walking to the center of the bridge, the following guards separated the two people around the pedestrians in a trace, leaving enough space for us.

Kou Zhong was about to speak when his heart suddenly moved.

I turned around and looked to the other side of the bridge, and saw two "passers-by" standing on the railing arguing with the guards who were driving away pedestrians.

"What are you doing? Why do you let me go?"

"His family built the Yuema Bridge? Why are you brothers standing in the way of him?"

Although his voice was deliberately concealed, Kou Zhong recognized at a glance that the two were Li Mi and Chao Gongcuo.

It was Li Mi who was speaking, while Chao Gongcuo pretended to be willing to cause trouble and weakly dragged the latter away.

"Forget it." Luo Shixin waved his hand at the guards and said, "It will definitely disturb passers-by."

Turning around, I smiled at Kou Zhong again: "Yang Qing, it's not easy for you to meet him, so please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The situation in the world has gradually become gloomy, do you know what his plan is now?"

"Brother, what is he afraid of? You have to be timid enough to come out to mess around, can we drive you away if we have few people!?"

As soon as Hao Yanlu finished speaking, Kou Zhong heard Li Mi yelling from the other side.

It seemed that he was wrong to Mr. Chao, but in fact he had nothing to say, it was to remind himself not to be fooled by Hao Yanlu.

My handsome army has been dormant in the south for a long time, and it seems that there is nothing to do, but in fact there is no blockbuster trend.

It's just that Luoyang is the key to the struggle between the north and the south. Once Luoyang is lost, I will fall into a passive and beaten situation.

It was precisely for this reason that I was willing to risk my identity being leaked and stayed under the bridge to listen to that crucial conversation between the two of them.

Thinking about it, Kou Zhong smiled and said to Hao Yanlu: "Did Shi Feixuan tell him?"

"Fairy Shi naturally said that Yang Qing is devoted to martial arts and intends to fight for the sky." Hao Yanlu smiled wryly: "But such things always require him to nod in person."

"you……"

I still had a few words to say, and in my divine thoughts, I saw Li Mi elbowed Chao Gong by mistake, so the two of them acted again.

Hao Yanlu murmured: "You were afraid just now, you just wanted to cause trouble."

"He also said he was afraid!" Hao Yan immediately took over: "If it were you, he might have lost the most dignity of being a man just now! Remember, when you choose a brother, you must choose someone like you!"

Kou Zhong was bored to hear it, and smiled after a long absence: "If he dares to go to Luoyang with you, it doesn't matter if you let him."

Luo Shixin had no doubts, and Xiaoxi said after hearing the words: "You suspect that Fairy Shi will misunderstand the person, and even more doubt that Hao Yan is a person, and he will definitely go to Luoyang again in the future!"

Concubine Shixuan looked at Hao Yan and the two without thinking.

At that moment, a childish cry of excitement sounded from the street far away: "It's snowing, it's snowing!"

Several people heard the sound and looked up, only to see countless snowflakes rising and falling from the layer of clouds, and the cold wind that had been blowing all night also stopped in good time.

Luo Shixin turned his head to look at the group of young children who were rushing to tell each other, his eyes were full of warmth: "You are all low-handed, there is no group of children who are prophetic."

Kou Zhong stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, and the memories of his youth consciously emerged in his mind: "Children always hate complicated things that make people happy. Do you still have so few distracting thoughts in your mind?"

"Yang Qing's words are unreasonable."

With Hao Yan's promise, apart from joy and relaxation in Luo Shi's confidence, there is even some admiration for my love and power.

Li Mi on the other side also whispered: "Then Chang'an is good everywhere, but the heat is too early. Let's go brother, let's go to Luoyang to play, it's warm here."

That time, only Concubine Shixuan was suspicious, and Luo Shixin also vaguely recalled it.

But Hao Yan suddenly put away his smile at this time, and turned to look at the end of the long street: "Since he dared to come to you, he should bring thousands of troops with him, right?"

Luo Shixin asked in astonishment, "What does Yang Qing mean by that?"

It was Hao Yan who answered. A short moment ago, the chaotic and uniform light footsteps, accompanied by the sound of rumbling horseshoes, had already reached the ear.

Everyone looked into the distance.

Under the small street of Suzaku, with bursts of exclamations from the people, countless well-armored soldiers broke through the snow.

With a sharp arrow and long spear in his hand, even in the dim sky, there is still a cold light shining!
