Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 21 Royal Brothers
In the north, I see you as a retort.

Generally used to deal with greedy children, for example, Mom, I want to eat candied haws.

Mom: You look like a candied haws to me.

Mom, I want to eat rice cakes.

Mom: You look like a rice cake to me.

It's just that no one will say, I want to eat people, and no one will reply, I think you look like a human being.

In the backyard of this tofu shop, the conversation between the rough man and the woman was a bit inhuman, so it was reasonable for them to kill the third prince of Prince Dangbei, who was generally said to be inhuman.

Zhao Chengfeng, who didn't know he was being ambushed, but had actually been used to being ambushed over the years, had just finished eating dumplings at the intersection of the street where the couple was.

I wiped my mouth and burped. Just when I was satisfied, there was a watchman on the street who beat the gong, indicating that it was midnight.

So Zhao Chengfeng glanced at the direction of the gong, frowned and stretched out his hand.

After all, Bai Zhi had only become a maid not long ago, and Bai Zhi didn't establish a tacit understanding with him, so she blinked and didn't know why.

Zhao Chengfeng had no choice but to spread out his hands and make a writing gesture.

When Bai Zhi saw this, she handed him her brochure and pen.

But after Zhao Chengfeng finished writing, he tore off the paper and folded it, but he didn't mean to give it to her, which made her eyes widen.

Zhugan finished his last bite of dumplings at this time and listened to the sound of the gong and said happily: "I wonder if Brother Zhao has other plans tonight?"

Zhao Chengfeng shook his head: "There are no arrangements."

The fat face patted him on the shoulder: "Then why don't you go on a night tour with us in Kyoto, and go directly to see the Third Prince's debut in the morning?"

"It's so wonderful, but I don't know if there is any fun place to go?"

Zhugan and Fat Face looked at each other with arrogant expressions on their faces. It seemed that
"Let's go~!"

"Where to go first?"

"Yunluo Ancient Road!"

Zhao Chengfeng almost fell to the ground. He thought it was a flower boat on the Huaihe River.
But after looking at the patterns on the blue robes of the two of them, I thought it was right. After all, how could a poor student afford to go on a flower boat?
Noticing his gaze, his chubby face picked up the green pine pattern on his front and said proudly: "Know?"

Zhao Chengfeng nodded, folded the paper in his hand and said, "Qingsong Academy, right?"

"Yes, one of the four major academies in Kyoto."

Zhugan patted his chest: "Both of us are students of Qingsong Academy. Brother Zhao, I see that you are not too old and your clothes are not bad. You can see that your family is well-off. Could it be that you came to the imperial capital to study in the academy to prepare for the imperial examination?" of?"

Zhao Chengfeng waved his hands quickly. He was preparing for a crappy imperial examination, and he would not be able to pass anything in this life.

Fat Face felt deeply regretful when he heard this: "It's a pity, it's a pity. I hit it off with Brother Zhao today. If we can become classmates in the future, it will be a beautiful thing for the three of us to serve our country together."

"Brother Xiao Zhao is not from Zhou Tian"

"unimportant."

"And let me tell you, our Qingsong Academy has shelves full of ancient books, students are vying to read them, talented people are gathered, scholars are gathered, the plum blossoms are fragrant, and the music of the piano is melodious."

Zhao Chengfeng heard it. The focus was not on the front, but on the back.

He can understand it very well. After all, Gaoluo is also one of the four major academies of Zhou Tian Dynasty. It is a good thing for students to have a sense of belonging and honor to the academy. It is normal to want to show off in front of outsiders, but...
"Ahem, no, when did Qingsong Academy start recruiting boys?"

bamboo:"……"

Fat face: "..."

The way they looked at Zhao Chengfeng began to change, and then they said in unison: "Last year."

This was obviously the question that came to Zhao Chengfeng's mind when he saw the Qingsong icon when the three met for the first time, because in his memory, Qingsong Academy had always been a women's academy.
"I see, then you guys..."

Zhugan and Fat Face hurriedly covered up their embarrassment.

Zhao Chengfeng was good at talking. While turning the origami paper that had been folded into cards, he said, "Then you are very lucky."

"That's right. Although there are more than a hundred students in our current class, only half of them are men. The senior and junior sisters in the academy are really vying for beauty."

"Let's go, let's talk."

The group of people got up, and Zhugan Fat Face led Zhao Chengfeng and Bai Zhi towards the direction of Yunluo Ancient Street.

Neither of them noticed that after walking out of the dumpling stall, around a corner, Zhao Chengfeng shook his hand, and the origami he had been playing with before disappeared into the night sky.

Bai Zhi saw it. She blinked and heard the prince next to her: "Let's go, what are you looking at?"

She had no choice but to keep up, but faintly seemed to hear a soft "bang" sound from the southeast.

The soft sound came from a small wooden tower.

The wooden pagoda should have been a fire watch tower in the past, but later, perhaps as the buildings in Kyoto became taller and taller, it no longer served as a fire watch, but it was used by watchmen to rest.

There was no watchman in the tower at this time, but a pale man leaned out and found the white paper that looked like a card embedded in the wood on the building. He didn't dare to open it, took the origami and hurried downstairs. Sent all the way to a carriage on the street.

The wheels of the carriage rolled, and after passing through four streets, they arrived in front of a business.

A man who looked like a shopkeeper took the note and then turned around and entered the shop behind him.

Not long after, the backyard door of the shop was opened, and a truck loaded with goods headed straight to the north of the city. However, before reaching the city gate, a boy jumped out of the truck and whistled.As the whistle faded, a bird landed on his arm.

He handed the note to the bird and got into the car. The bird circled three times in Kyoto, then plunged into a large house and got into the birdcage.

The person who opened the birdcage was an eunuch. After taking out the note, he walked through the spacious and luxurious hall to a study room.

In the study, tea mist lingers in front of my eyes, and the faint smell of sandalwood lingers on the tip of my nose.

There were three middle-aged men in colorful clothes sitting in order of order. Among them was the sixth prince, Prince Jing, whom Zhao Chengfeng had met before. He was sitting at the second seat and was sipping tea.

The man opposite him looked somewhat similar to him, but he was younger and more anxious. He didn't drink tea, and his face had a fierce smell.

The person who takes the leading position among them has a very surprising appearance.

He is swollen and has a long face, sun horns, a big mouth, a beautiful beard and beard, and he is very careful to see his ears.

Everything he does seems to be regal, and every word he speaks will make people feel convinced unconsciously.

For example, at this time, when he saw a eunuch coming to the door, he stood up and said humbly: "Mr. Yu, come quickly. I have just made a pot of tea. Come and taste it."

How could the eunuch known as Yu Gong dare to actually go and drink tea? The person in front of him was the eldest prince of the current dynasty and a wise king who would soon ascend to the position of crown prince. But after hearing these words, he felt really comfortable.

He quickly knelt down to show his courtesy and raised the note with both hands: "The one sent in front of me was written by him."

"Oh?" King Xian raised his eyebrows and raised his tone.

Almost at the same time, his two younger brothers in the study also reacted. One stood up and the other frowned.

The King Xian poured a cup of tea in a leisurely manner and brought it to the eunuch named Yu.

While Yu Gongcheng was anxious to accept the tea, he just handed the note over.

The wise king opened it and looked at it. The corners of his mouth immediately raised and he said, "Wonderful man!"

With that, he threw the note to his sixth brother, Prince Jing, and said: "With this note, Ning Shu will marry him, and I, the uncle, can rest assured that I can't make a mistake."

Hearing what the eldest brother said was so mysterious, the impatient ninth brother Kang Wang in the study immediately came to his sixth brother's side and opened the note with Prince Jing.

When the two of them took a look, there was only one line of writing on the note.

[almost got it]

So King Kang asked in confusion: "That's it?"

"Brother, can you help me clarify my doubts?"

The Xian King smiled gently, returned to the main seat, picked up his tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Let's put it this way, you can imagine the third prince of Dangbei Palace in your mind. If you find that someone has been following you, What will he do?"

King Kang raised his eyebrows: "Of course, kill him quickly."

Prince Jing shook his head: "That's you. If you are the rumored third son, you will make those who follow you worse than death, and ask who is the person behind you. If you have conclusive evidence, you will uproot him and leave no grass behind."

The wise king blew the mist off the tea cup, and the wind was light and the clouds were calm: "Well said, Sixth Brother, you can taste it again."

Prince Jing frowned: "That's pretty much what he meant. He didn't even bother to investigate, but he gave a warning."

The wise king nodded: "Of course, the Third Prince knows that many people will be watching him when he enters the capital this time. He will not take action easily before distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy, but he has to tell the people who dare to look at him, and he will get something done. Warning, he doesn’t even want to know who you are, leaving enough space and face for both parties.”

"From this we can conclude that this person is by no means the arrogant and extravagant person in those novels."

"Being able to discover the person I sent shows that his cultivation level is by no means what people say outside. It may even be far beyond our imagination."

"What he did after discovering that he was being followed not only served as a warning but also left room for leeway. It can be said that he was relaxed and had a great sense of proportion."

"So we have taken the right step with Ning Shu, and the Third Prince may be a big help in the future."

"Sixth brother, you are blessed."

Prince Jing felt a lot more at ease after hearing his eldest brother's remarks.

It was their ninth brother, King Kang, who took the note written by Zhao Chengfeng, looked left and right, and finally sighed: "Eldest brother, sixth brother, you are so smart, why can't I understand these things?" Woolen cloth"

Prince Jing smiled, looked at the sky outside and said, "It seems I can't sleep tonight. I have to go see my future son-in-law early tomorrow."

The Xian Wang put down the tea cup, came behind him and patted his shoulder, sighing: "Brother, I will accompany you. The No. 1 person in Dangbei Palace who has come to Kyoto in recent years must be handed over well."

King Kang did not agree with this: "Brother, I don't like your attitude. What's wrong with Dangbei Palace? What's there in Dangbei Palace?"

The wise king smiled again: "Prince Dangbei has a knife in his hand, it's scary!"

King Kang: "I have one too."

Prince Jing picked up the note written by Zhao Chengfeng again, looked at it twice and said to his ninth brother: "What kind of broken sword is that of yours? Prince Dangbei has the fastest sword in the world."

"By the way, will the knife enter the city tomorrow?"

"Uncle Sun, can Uncle Sun enter the city? We have to go and pay our respects tomorrow."

"Zhong Gu is also on board."

The eldest prince Xianwang had a headache when he heard this, and quickly rubbed his eyebrows: "The third prince's arrogance is bigger than the nine of our brothers plus one."

After hearing what the eldest brother said, he thought for a moment that it was indeed the case. King Kang puffed his beard and slapped the table with eyes wide open, and said, "Yes, is he the prince, or are we the princes?"
