Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 163

He stood silently, the moonlight soaked up coolly, wet the night hibiscus under the corridor of the palace, wet the corner of his imperial robe embroidered with golden dragons and auspicious clouds, he turned sideways and looked in the direction of Youzhou, where, far away, dark, dark clouds It is densely covered and the storm is about to rise.

However, after a long time, he said softly, "Okay, take care."

Qin Changge smiled and nodded.

She stepped out.

When passing by his side, he heard him say shyly: "Three months, after three months, if you still can't come back, I'll go find you."

After a pause, Qin Changge stood facing away from Xiao Jue shoulder-to-shoulder, and smiled at him sideways.

Her smile soaked in the moonlight is like a well-bloomed night hibiscus.

She said:

"it is good."

In August of the fourth year of Qianyuan, Youzhou was shrouded in midsummer sunlight.

An all-black carriage drove into the gate of Youzhou city unobtrusively. Although the carriage was ordinary in style, it was well-crafted and sturdy. There was a golden flying fish pattern printed on the body, and the body of the fish danced like a dragon.

This mark, in the current Xiliang, only the Longbei line is still unknown, and who doesn't know the rest of the prefectures, this is the famous symbol of Fengmanlou?
As for the reason for this LOGO, the inspiration naturally came from Chu Feihuan. This mark is the innate birthmark of the Li Guo royal family on his body.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the "Ju'an Restaurant" on Shifang Street, the most prosperous Shifang Street in Youzhou City. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a thin, black and thin boy who seemed to be only about ten years old jumped down and greeted the little boy who was coming up. Erdao: "Two of the best upper rooms. In addition, the private seat will open a table of the best noodles for me. My young master wants to eat."

"I'm sorry, you," Xiao Er smiled and bowed, "There is only one room left in the upper room, and the private seats are gone, so please bear with me."

"How could this be?" The skinny black boy frowned, taking out a piece of silver from his pocket and throwing it over, "Don't worry, I'll make arrangements for you."

Xiaoer took the money, smiled all over his face, bent down and said: "The upper room is really gone, but I can move out a private seat for the two of you. Today, the third son of Dudu Cao's family is entertaining guests in our shop. The venue needs to be cleared, since this is the case, please sit in the compartment, just please don’t make any noise.”

"Of course not." This time when the curtain was lifted, a pair of little girls came out, with crisp voices, big dark eyes, snow-skinned cherry lips, and a clear spirit. They turned out to be rare beautiful twins.

Xiaoer's eyes lit up, and he was stunned for a moment. Beidi had never seen such beautiful twin maids before. Which wealthy family could afford such a beauty?
The little girls jumped down one by one, covered their hands with silk scarves, and went to help the people in the carriage.

"Go, go, go!" A pair of small paws suddenly stretched out, and with a frenzied wave, he swung the silk scarf far away, "I'm not a girl, don't play the trick you used to serve others!"

The twins looked at the silk scarf on the ground, sniffed aggrievedly, and backed away.

When the curtain of the car was pulled, a beautiful big head came out, a little smaller than the children in front, with a pair of black eyes that were as bright as stars.

Naturally it was Xiao Rong, Crown Prince Xiao, shopkeeper Xiao.

Xiaoer looked at Baozi in astonishment, and then opened a ticket into the car—where is the adult in this family?

Stretching out his hand to push his face away, Baozi raised his leg and walked in, "Do not see evil, do not see evil, do you understand?"

Seeing him running upstairs in a few steps, Xiao Er hurried forward to lead the way, thinking that this ignorant boy would definitely make a fuss about sitting at the big table that Mr. Cao San had already ordered, but he didn't want the child to look at the table, but instead Sit as arranged.

Xiaoer was relieved, and delivered food continuously, and seeing those children eating honestly, he forgot about it after a while.

"Master," You Tiao'er lowered his voice, "The shopkeeper Guo Er in Yingdu is waiting for you in Youzhou, why don't you go to see him directly?"

"See him?" Baozi lowered his voice, "The consequence of seeing him is that I will be sent back to Yingdu immediately. Do you think my father won't order the governor of Youzhou to find me? I'm here to do something important, I don't want to go back so soon. "

"Also," Baozi frowned, "you didn't realize how difficult it is to enter Youzhou City, if it weren't for the fact that we were young and stuffed with money, we were almost blocked outside the city gate, I think the city gate is very strict. There’s always something wrong with it.”

"Master, let's go and contact shopkeeper Guo," You Tiao'er felt that he was responsible for protecting the prince's safety, and the weight on his shoulders was as heavy as a thousand weights, and he said worriedly: "In case something happens..."

"Just in case, am I still afraid of what happens? I am ten thousand years old in the future!" Baozi waved his hand, "People of Youzhou, the prince, I am here to liberate you..."

He turned his head and saw the twins standing timidly behind him serving him, frowned, pointed to the stool, and said, "You guys, eat!"

"Slaves are servants..."

"Hey, what do you mean by superiors and inferiors? If you don't listen to me, you're a fool!" Baozi said impatiently, "I don't need maidservants, and I'm impatient to see people follow. If you keep talking, I won't take you away."

The twins were shocked, and quickly sat down on the stool. They were maidservants of Liu Wanwan, a wealthy family in Huazhou. Because of their good looks, they were kicked out by the jealous lady. Baozi took him in, and since then he has recognized the five-year-old little master as a benefactor, and he has served him wholeheartedly. He doesn't want the master to be weird and the master is very coquettish, and what the master thinks and does is different from ordinary people. The twins are not used to it, so they have to obediently learn .

As soon as he sat down, he heard the sound of the stairs, a group of people came up to exchange greetings, and a young man was surrounded by stars and sat in front of the table. Someone looked at Baozi's side and frowned: "Why? There is still one table, drive away!"

"They're all children?" The boy looked at him and said with a smile, "It's probably the same as me. I'm too strict, so I'll sneak out and have a good meal. Forget it."

"The third son is the most virtuous person!" Someone immediately flattered, "With your status and status, you can still be so considerate of the people. It is really a blessing for me in Youzhou!" Turning to Baozi, he said, "You guys! The third son kowtows to thank you!"

"I pooh!" You Tiao'er was furious, he poohed in a low voice, and said, "What the hell, master, I'll teach him a lesson!"

"What do you use to teach me a lesson? Use your fists to embroider your legs?" Baozi rolled his eyes and said slowly: "Thank you, sir, thank you? Then thank you."

He stood up slowly, took the jug and wine glass, and walked over with a smile, the twins followed step by step.

The two little girls, dressed in exactly the same way, had exactly the same appearance, their delicate flowers shone in the water and were crystal clear, and they were a pair of wonderful people rubbed with snow and powder, which immediately caught the eyes of everyone at the table.

The young man couldn't help but looked over and said: "This is good for the girl!" After thinking about it, he sighed, "It's a pity that Daddy wants me to go to the army to hone, and I don't need to accept it."

"Why is the governor willing to let the third son go to the army?" Someone said with a smile: "It's just an answer."

"You're wrong," the young man shook his head and frowned, "I'm afraid I'm going to..."

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly, turned his eyes to look at Baozi who came over, and said, "You pair of maids, do you want to sell?"

"Sell!" Baozi didn't hesitate, regardless of whether the twins immediately flattened their mouths and burst into tears, "1 taels, no bargaining!"

"Third Young Master, the person who wants you thinks highly of you, how dare you ask for money?" Someone immediately shouted and scolded.

"I look down on him if I don't want his money," Baozi grinned, "Third young master, can't you buy the right maid?"

"You speak well," the young man said proudly, "My Cao family's Yutang golden horse, powerful in Youzhou, why can't I afford to buy your maid? Come, give him 1 taels!"

"Third Young Master!" Bao Zi, who had received the bank note, suddenly took a step forward under the eyes of everyone, grabbed the third Young Master's hand with tears in his eyes, and said, "You are such a good person. I have traveled all the way, and I have never met someone like you. Noble person who is expensive but not arrogant, you can do me a favor and take me in by the way, right?"

Among the stiff crowd in the hall, Baozi tightly grabbed the third young master who was staring at him with snot and tears, "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." I have to sell it to someone else... This is my last meal, and I won't have money to pay the bill after I finish eating... I haven't eaten meat for three days, so I'm panicking..."

While singing the bitterness, he quietly twisted the fritter that stood there with his mouth wide open, and the fritter hissed in pain, and started to cry.

"Young master... please do me a favor... let's be your servants together, I just ask my master to stop wandering... I can have a nest to stay in..."

You Tiao'er, who was devoted to his duties, cried with both voice and emotion, singing and composing so well, that the whole house was crying, this child is miserable, pitiful, reduced to this...

Baozi already felt tired from crying, so he took the opportunity to stop his voice, and took a good time to watch it, but his heart was beating a little bit--old lady, I have to curse you, don't settle accounts with me...

In September of the fourth year of Qianyuan, the wind and cloud suddenly rose, Kyushu turmoiled, eagles hit the sky, and swords roared to the west wind.

Li Han, Duke of Wuwei, together with Cao Guangshi, governor of Youzhou, rebelled in Youzhou. In the name of "the emperor has no way, righteousness saves the world", he pointed the hunter's sharp sword at the hinterland of Xiliang, the prosperous and prosperous city without God. , pointing to the Xiao Dynasty, which dominates the world and occupies the ninth level.

On the day of swearing-in, Tang Wu, the governor of Youzhou, Wu Yuanqi, the governor of Youzhou, and Fu Ziying, the secretary of the military, sacrificed the flag. When the cannon rang, the bloody heads of three local officials of the court fell to the ground, which showed that Li Han was going all-in and desperate, and he was determined to be with him. Xiao Jue's endless murderous intent and outrageous determination.

The eagle flag curled up like a cloud, covering the long-calm sky in the north.

On the big yellow silk map of Longzhang Palace, there are hundreds of thousands of rebels in Youzhou, with a thick and dark snake-shaped arrow, hovering ferociously around the border town, twisting with the two red army fronts around them, which is like a poisonous snake. What the black arrow points to: the heart of the imperial capital.

The long wind blows, and the ever-bright lights of Longzhang Palace cannot be extinguished. Behind the heavy curtain, the young emperor looked tired and his eyes were burning. He stared deeply at the map of arrows, and murmured for a long time:
