Chapter 1 Lantern Festival

Yunyi and Xu Ziling carried their hands on their backs, embarked on the mountain climbing road and unfolded their body. They reached the top of the mountain in a moment. Under the horizontal support of the strange pine branches, there was an octagonal pavilion. On one side of the mountain, there was a small spring, which was a trickling, and on the other side was the edge of the cliff. They could see the setting sun in the west.

The two brothers looked at Yizhou City in the distance, and their hearts were suddenly so proud that they could finally move their hands and feet.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the two brothers felt that the Shu people compared with the war-torn Central Plains, the prosperity and undisputed wealth and extravagance, all of which stimulated Yunyi's heart to seize Bashu.

It is the Lantern Festival. The first thing to see is the countless lanterns. The girls are all dressed up, and the gorgeous clothes of Qiang girls are full of exotic customs, and the sound of laughter and play comes one after another. On the street, there is a continuous sound of firecrackers, full of festive atmosphere.

After leaving their hometown Yangzhou, Yunyi and Xu Ziling lost the mood of the festival. This may be the price of fighting for the world! Everyone sighed that the peace and prosperity should be like this in front of them, and they couldn't help feeling it.

In the hot festive atmosphere, suddenly something was tossed from nowhere. Xu Ziling easily followed. It turned out to be an hydrangea ball and looked at it in astonishment. In the depths of the lights, a woman stood among a group of children burning firecrackers on the opposite street, staring at him through her face. At the first glance, Xu Ziling recognized that it was Shi Qingxuan. Yun Yi didn't pay much attention to it. More than a dozen Qiang girls saw Yun Yi's perfect appearance and Xuanwei's figure, all of which were beautiful and bright, and the autumn waves were frequent. Two extraordinary bold people came to lead him to dance an alien dance. Yun Yi saw this, of course, he was happy to enjoy and play. I'm so happy that I still care what Xu Ziling is doing.

At this time, Shi Qingxuan raised his slender hand and slowly lifted his face, revealing the part below his nose. Suddenly, the laughter around him seemed to be rapidly restrained. Although there were thousands of tourists nearby, he felt that there was no third party between heaven and earth except him and Shi Qingxuan.

When Xu Ziling was about to squeeze over, his sight was blocked by a **, which made Xu Ziling very depressed.

"Ha! Ling Shao, the women here are too enthusiastic. No wonder people say that this place is the kingdom of heaven. I really feel it!" He was stunned and saw that Yun Yi was full of rouge lipstick and complacent. Looking at the opposite street, the beautiful woman had already disappeared. At this moment, Xu Ziling really wanted to beat Yun Yi hard.

The two found the local Yipinju. First, they went to the bathhouse to take a good bath and ate some snacks. Yunyi rarely went out to fool around. In fact, Yunyi was also under pressure. In case Xu Ziling was not "careful" to tell Shang Xiuxun the news that he went out to play, his good days would come to an end. Xu Ziling originally wanted to go to the street to find the trace of Shi Qingxuan, but he wanted to supervise Yun Yi. In addition, the street was too crowded, so he had to give up this idea. The two sat quietly together in the moon-star emperor's room. If it hadn't been for Xu Ziling's supervision of Yun Yi, and the room was big enough, otherwise Xu Ziling's quiet habit would have thrown away Yun Yi away long ago. Go out.

......

Before the Lantern Festival, Kou Zhong wanted to surprise Song Yuzhi, so he went to Lingnan alone.

In the morning light, there are many strange peaks around, and the dangerous mountains are like being cut by an axe. The layers of rocks are thick in emerald color, and the landscape is endless.

"Futam! The surprise didn't work. I was played!" Kou Zhong roared discordantly in the beautiful Lingnan Mountain. He was completely lost. In the mountains and mountains, there was no village in front of him and no people in the back. No wonder Kou Zhong, who liked the lively, scolded.

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers.

After his great increase in his skills, the ability of Qianliyan has been greatly improved and he stands on the peak. There is a village more than ten miles away. Hidden between the mountains covered by trees, the terraces are stacked, and the water is shining. During the Spring Festival, the forest leaves are golden and yellow, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the world is independent, and I don't know the geometry of the world.

Remembering Song Yuzhi in his heart, Kou Zhong was still hesitant and rushed to the village. As soon as he entered the village, a beautiful female voice behind him said, "Kui Zhong! What are you doing here?"

Kou Zhongju turned around and couldn't believe that he looked at Song Yuzhi, who appeared in a strong suit and heroic style at the entrance of the village. These days, he has been thinking about the beauty he has been longing for.

......

Yizhou, Emperor's Chamber.

The sweet and clear voice of the master concubine said gently outside the door, "Brother Xu! Brother Yun! Is it convenient for Feixuan to come in?"

Xu Ziling was surprised. He looked at Yun Yi, who was practicing his pen, quickly jumped out of bed and opened the door. The concubine, who was still dressed in men's clothes, stood outside the door like a moon palace fairy, so she retreated aside and said, "Please come in!"

Shi Feixuan moved gently and walked into the room with her unique fresh fragrance. She glanced around and looked at Yun Yi, who was writing hard on the sandalwood desk on the east side. Seeing that he looked focused, she did not disturb him. She just smiled and said, "People say that the emperor's cabin of the first-class residence provides emperor-like treatment. Today, it's just the house. The layout and utensils can be seen in general!"

"I can't help it. Yun Shao also came to inspect the industry of Shenjiantang this time. These are all arranged by the shopkeepers early in the morning!" Xu Ziling shrugged his shoulders and said.

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "I almost forgot that your brothers are now among the richest people in the world."

"Miss, I praised you! I'm far worse than that alchemist. The industry of Yipinju has always been in the care of Yun Shao, which has nothing to do with me. Xu Ziling had to report back with a wry smile.

Shi Feixuan didn't ask any more questions on this issue and said, "Brother Ziling, when are you going to go to Youlin Xiaogu!"

Xu Ziling leaned comfortably on the chair and shook his head and said, "I won't go!" I met him in Chengdu. Where else are you going to do?

The master concubine said in consters, "Isn't this the purpose of Brother Ziling's trip?"

It can surprise the master concubine. Xu Ziling is faintly happy, but he feels ridiculous because of this mentality. He met the other party's bright eyes and said indifferently, "There are indeed some changes in it. How long has Miss Shi been here?"

"It turned out that Brother Ziling was still blaming the concubine. In fact, the concubine had something else important to do, so she left without saying goodbye and came to Chengdu separately from Brother Ziling. I didn't intend to explain it, but now I finally explain it!" The master concubine frowned at him for a while, and suddenly showed a bitter smile and said. When Xu Ziling heard this, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. He didn't know what it was like.

"Ha! Ling Shao, do you know that this room was booked for you by Feixuan. The guilt can be seen. Feixuan always has yours in her heart!" Yun Yi put down his pen and ink, laughed and interrupted. Xu Ziling was shocked when he heard this and couldn't speak for a moment.

"This time, the concubine went down the mountain and set foot on the world. Of course, it is for the mission of the teacher, but it also has the intention of entering the world. The highest mental method of Jingzhai must be cultivated when entering the world. It can only be done by building a car behind closed doors. The master concubine turned to Yun Yi, returned to her usual indifferent look, and said.

After looking at her for a long time, Xu Ziling asked: What kind of mind is that? Isn't what Buddhism and Taoism say that all four are empty and pure? Why do you have to get involved in the trivialities of the world? Is it true that Cihang Jingzhai originated from the Yin and Yang family in the pre-Qin Dynasty?

The master concubine nodded and said calmly, "Confucianism has the difference between being good at the body and being good at the same time, and the Buddha also has the difference between the Hinayana and the Mahayana. If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell is the act of giving up his life. In the Cihang Sword Code, there is also a formula of "break and stand, decadent and then vibrating". It can be seen that those who can't stand the test and sharpening can't become a great weapon.

"I heard that the highest heart method in Guizhai is called 'Sword Heart Tongming'. No one has ever been able to cultivate it in isolation, and even the second 'heart has a rhinoceros' has been practiced. It is said that it is precisely because of Shi Zhixuan that Qingxuan's beautiful heart can only stop at the realm of 'heart has a rhinoceros'. Yun Yi asked knowingly.

The master concubine flashed a look of surprise, and immediately replied and nod her head. Xu Ziling stared at the master's concubine and said nonsense, "If, as Yun Shao said, I am one of the obstacles to your practice, I will be very proud."

Shi Feixuan couldn't estimate Xu Ziling's amazing words. She smiled coquettishly, and then glanced at Yun Yi, who suddenly picked up the brush, and said, "Will it be the same as you two brothers after staying with you for a long time? No wonder you will become brothers. Feixuan didn't mean to make this hint. She just wanted to tell you that she was not as ruthless as you thought.

Although Xu Ziling did not get a positive reply from the master's concubine, his heart seemed to be filled with honey and said secretly, "Is this what Xiaoyun and Xiaozhong said about the feeling of love?"

Xu Ziling, who was greatly in a better mood, blurted out, "Is Feixuan interested in visiting the lantern market at night with Feixuan?"

......

Kou Zhong followed Song Yuzhi, and the two came to an unknown river. Song Yuzhi carried him on his back and said, "What are you doing?"

"Of course, it's for my Miss Song San. I'm here to apologize." Kou Zhong suppressed the impulse to hold her in his arms and said softly.

"I know Kou Zhong, a hero who is upright, brave and decisive. On that day, in Shengong City, everyone agreed to cut off, and they would have no relationship in the future. You are so entangled that Yuzhi will look down on you!" Song Yuzhi shook his head and sighed.

On that day, at the wedding of Shengong City, Song Yuzhi saw that Yun Yi loved the country and loved the beauty more. In order for Shang Xiuxun, he was willing to kneel on one knee in front of all kinds of people in the world, put the ring in the hands of the bride, and made a lifelong commitment. Looking at the happy smile of the good sister Shang Xiuxun, he suddenly felt sorry for himself, and his heart was also a little unbalanced. He is also a brother. Xu Ziling is unrestrained and wise, and Yun Yi is gentle and affectionate. Only Kou Zhong has been far away from her and unclear. He happened to see Kou Zhong and Shang Xiufang's eyebrows. He got angry without a name and quarreled with Kou Zhong. At night, he heard Yun Yi's ensemble with Shang everyone in the emperor's wing room of Yipinju. After being inquired, he knew that Kou Zhong had nothing. In terms of redemption, he was actually listening to Shang Xiufang playing the piano and singing. As a result, he dumped Kou Zhong that night and cried back to Lingnan.

"Yuzhi, don't get me wrong. I just want to see you, and there are no other delusions. Hey! I also know that it is impossible to get along with you!" Kou Zhong said with a wry smile.

Song Yuzhi pretended to be, staring at him with beautiful eyes, without saying anything, as if he was reading Kou Zhong's thoughts.

When Kou Zhong saw that Song Yuzhi was invincible, he did not object to the feelings of the past. Looking back on the past, he knew how ridiculous and stupid his mistakes were. Suddenly, he swam all over his body with love and said softly, "Are you lost weight?"

"Don't talk nonsense, say it! Why did you come to Lingnan?" Song Yuzhi seemed to be unable to resist Kou Zhong's tender attack. He turned around and questioned.

After Song Yuzhi finished speaking, he went straight to the river and sat down. Kou Zhong sat side by side with her and said to himself, "Frankly speaking, I came to Lingnan before to atone for my sins..."

"Atonement? In a year, Kou Shaoshuai showed his power, killed Shen Faxing, recruited Du Fuwei, wiped out Fu Gongyou, expelled Li Zitong, destroyed Yuwen, and captured dozens of cities such as Pengcheng, Liangdu, Donghai and Jiangdu. The land in the south of the Yangtze River has been used by the young commander's army. As long as he advances into Luoyang, the world is at your fingertips. The people who created such an emperor's hegemony. If you want to atone for your sins, who can cure your sins? Do you want to make fun of others?" Song Yuzhi said coldly.

"My little achievements now are like a rainbow in the sky. In my eyes, without you, even if it is beautiful and eye-catching, it is not real, like a floating cloud. Without the world, even if I become the emperor, I will not be happy. Kou Zhong confessed affectionately, looked at Song Yuzhi's flawless pretty face, shot out complex and strong emotions, and slowly said his heart.

Song Yuzhi closed his beautiful eyes and said word by word, "If you can only choose one between the world and Yuzhi, how will Commander Kou decide?"
