"Freshly steamed jujube cake—"

The store hawked with a long sound, the shed was full, and each table was filled with jujube cakes and rice porridge, and the white hot air was permeating everywhere. Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun sat in this lively place, eating and drinking, for nearly half an hour.

Outside the shed is the street, and the vendors are busy with their pawns, each occupying his place to carry out the day's business. Snoring for a big mouthful of porridge, Huo Linfeng said, "Shop, another bowl."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly served it, and complimented: "General Huo likes the porridge cooked by the Caomin, it's a blessing for the Caomin." He looked at the day when the Dingbei Army entered the city, and recognized Huo Linfeng.

Huo Linfeng didn't say much, and continued to drink porridge with his head down. After a while, a tall man entered the shed. There was no empty table, and he stood helplessly. Rong Luoyun glanced at him and said kindly, "Sit next to me."

The man thanked him and sat down on Rong Luoyun's bench, three pieces of cake and one bowl of porridge, as if he was hungry, and he ate it without picking his hat. Huo Linfeng said to Rong Luoyun as if no one was by his side, "Let's go to the east for a while."

Rong Luoyun responded: "Okay, listen to you."

After he finished speaking, the tall man didn't raise his face, covered his hat and said, "You two, watch out for snakes."

After swallowing the last bite of the cake, he wiped his mouth, got up and hurried away, Huo Linfeng put down a few copper plates, thinking, Zhang Weiren is so bold, he actually asked him to pay the bill.

After eating, Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun walked along the street, heading east, enjoying the prosperity of Chang'an City along the way. It is said that since they have arrived in Chang'an, they should enter the palace as soon as possible, but they are leisurely, wandering on the street in the clear sky and daylight.

"Hey, there's no way." Huo Linfeng said, "The emperor is seriously ill and can't manage for the time being, but don't be fooled by what the eldest brother said..." Those were outrageous words, he leaned closer and whispered to Rong Luoyun, " It's about to collapse."

A warm breath blew in his ears, Rong Luoyun shrank his head to avoid, and looked around with a guilty conscience. This unscrupulous Saibei person, he pushed and whispered: "In the public, you pay attention."

Huo Linfeng is righteous: "You're not a woman, so what are you afraid of." He argued the truth like the truth, "Others only think that I have a good relationship with you, how can they think that on another level, you have so many broken sleeves?"

Rong Luoyun snorted: "Anyway, there are three Prince Rui's mansion, and two of them don't meet each other's eyes."

Huo Linfeng choked up, so he talked about what Prince Rui was doing, and changed the subject: "Meng Tingyuan entered the palace early in the morning, and I don't know how it will be bumped against the wall."

Nowadays, the prince is in control of the government, and on the grounds that the emperor needs to rest in peace, he almost does not allow his ministers to face the saint. Although Meng Tingyuan is the prince, but now, together with Huo Linfeng, has the evidence of Chen Ruoyin's collusion with the barbarians, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to see the emperor.

Rong Luoyun was worried: "Isn't that at the mercy of the prince?" Not only was he worried, but he also felt a little emotional, "It seems honorable to be a prince, but my father is seriously ill and has no chance to serve in front of the bed. He is not as good as ordinary people."

Huo Linfeng said: "Prince Rui has not been favored for many years, and I am afraid he does not want to serve."

As they walked and chatted, they passed a stall and stopped sideways to look at the objects on the stall. Huo Linfeng picked up a small qin, which the Turks liked, not the style of Dayong. Since the victory, many Turkic descendants have flowed into the pass, and various utensils have also been brought in, and the people feel quite fresh.

Huo Linfeng looked at the qin, but out of corners of the corner of the eye hit the crowd of people in the distance. Rong Luoyun listened carefully for a moment, and said, "Cross the alley in front of you and you will arrive at Fangji in the east."

Putting down the broken silver, Huo Linfeng took the small piano and left, and turned with Rong Luoyun into the narrow alley. One lane and three crossings, implicated in a maze of dwellings.

After a while, a person turned in, and there was no clue in ordinary clothes. He shuffled forward, and when he was about to reach the old tree, a silver line flashed across his eyes.

The calf bone was in severe pain, and when lowered head, saw a string passing through calf, and the two ends were shaking leisurely.

Two breaths emerged from the quiet and silent alley. He suddenly looked at the old tree. At this moment, Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun jumped down. Huo Linfeng held a small violin with a missing string and said, "Are you a snake, which house raised it?"

The man fell to the ground, his body twitching in pain, and the large beads of sweat were splattering. Rong Luoyun walked over and grabbed the other's waistband with his probing hand. It was double-layered and torn along the edge, with a packet of medicinal powder and a small token in it.

Like the spies he killed in the forest, he came from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Rong Luoyun stuffed the powder packet into the opponent's mouth, and at the same time held the string, cut the flesh with a dull knife, and pulled it slowly. The man choked and could not make a sound, his eyes widened, tears and sweat flowed wildly, and the blue veins on his neck almost burst.

When the strings were completely drawn out, a small stream of blood spurted out, like a spring, and Rong Luoyun's clear voice was very pleasant, and said, "Go back and tell Chen Thief that the North and South Shuangsha have come to claim his life."

After that, Rong Luoyun returned to Huo Linfeng's side, and the two turned around and walked towards the end of the alley. Farther and farther, the street in front was bustling, and the cold-resistant birds squatted against the wall, chirping in the winter sun.

Huo Linfeng provoked: "What are the two evils of the north and the south, it's so vulgar."

Rong Luoyun retorted: "Then you want something nice, the two heroes of the north and south?"

Huo Linfeng said, "Why is the south in front of the north? I think it should be called the North-South Shuangsha."

As soon as they walked out of the alley and walked to the street, it was a different world. The two continued to reason, passing through cloth houses, rouge shops, restaurants, and open spaces, and there were also stunt people performing arts.

The surrounding rivers were constantly flowing, Huo Linfeng was striding, and suddenly, his shoulder hit an elder. He stretched out his hand to hold it and said apologetically, "Excuse me, old man, are you okay?"

The other party was tightly wrapped in a thick towel, and seemed to be sick and weak. He swayed, holding Huo Linfeng's hand steady. "No problem..." He replied, then walked forward while stroking his chest.

Huo Linfeng glanced at Rong Luoyun and said, "If you are thirsty, go have a cup of tea."

Rong Luoyun understood it, and without saying a word, followed the other party into the restaurant facing the street, to a single room, the door closed, and Huo Linfeng flipped his hand to reveal a note, which the old man just stuffed it to him.

Lightly unfolding, he said: "If you want to weave a brocade robe, you have to get ramie and linen.

If the note falls into the hands of others, it is not enough to see anything, but Huo Linfeng knows this sentence, and the person who Chang'an City said to him is Shen Wen.

That day, Rong Luoyun entrusted the secret letter, and now that they came to Chang'an, they really should meet. Rong Luoyun still remembers that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Wenxiao solved a game of chess by himself, and what he said in his mouth was: Where can I find the old man who left me? Years grow old, the mud breaks the bones...

More than ten years have passed, but the old friends have never been forgotten.

Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun drank tea without a word, and passed away until noon, when the people in the city returned to their homes for dinner, and the street was finally quiet. They left the teahouse, walked separately, and went back to the same path along the dark alley. They arrived at the Taifu's mansion in a short time.

It was the same courtyard as last time, except that the nasturtium lotus in the white jade railing had dried up. Beside the railing, the butler of the Shen residence waited for a long time, and it was the old man who collided with Huo Linfeng.

When Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun Feiyan appeared, the housekeeper said, "General Huo, Young Master Rong, my master is waiting for two in the hall."

They were ushered into the room, and in the main seat, Shen Wenwen was dressed in plain cotton padded clothes, without the richness of an official. When he saw them coming, he stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "General Huo, we meet again."

Huo Linfeng hurriedly supported him: "Sir Shen is polite, I should give thanks." He was referring to the matter of submitting a secret letter. If Chen Ruoyin was not restrained in time, he might cause a lot of trouble.

Shen asked, "That's all I can do. The one who really restrains the traitors and contributes to the survival of the country is the Duke of Dingbei."

Liang Jiang died in battle, and his loyal minister regretted it. Huo Linfeng was a little speechless because of Shen Wen's concern. Shen Wenwen looked past him and looked behind, Rong Luoyun stood there, bowing his head restrainedly.

"Young Master Rong?" Shen asked.

Rong Luoyun Zhang Huang nodded: "Sir Shen." He suddenly felt something different. At that time, when he sent a secret letter, Shen asked that he didn't know his identity. Now that he has entered Chang'an, he has not revealed his name.

Huo Linfeng also thought of this and asked, "Sir Shen, do you know him?"

Shen asked and said, "Young Master covered his face when he sent the secret letter. Naturally, I didn't know that. During the days of keeping the secret letter, I contacted the dog, Shen Zhou, and he guessed that it was Master Rong who did it."

Rong Luoyun once went to Hanzhou to find Shen Zhou, and at that time Shen Zhou decided that Rong Luoyun would definitely go north.

After not returning to Jiangnan for a long time, Huo Linfeng couldn't help but inquire: "Sir Shen, how is Master Shen?" He knew that he had helped Hanzhou during disasters. .

Shen asked and replied, "The dog is well. During the war in Saibei, the people of the Xiganling Rivers and Lakes gathered together to besiege everyone in the Bufan Palace." ."

Rong Luoyun breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes a little, and found that Shen Dao was watching him, he was a little timid, and looked away as if nothing had happened.

The three discussed in the room, the emperor, the prime minister, the prince, and the various situations that followed, all were not shy, and took heart and lungs. Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun shouldn't stay for a long time, they got up and said goodbye to Shen Wen at about Moshen's hour.

Huo Linfeng said, "Sir Shen doesn't need to send each other, just stop."

Shen Wendao agreed and watched the two juniors leave. When he was about to leave the house, he couldn't help shouting: "Young Master Rong—" His voice was suppressed, showing a desolate look, "When sending the secret letter, you said that the old friend had gone, call me Don't feel sorry anymore."

Rong Luoyun's back trembled slightly, Shen Dao looked at him, and asked, "How do you know that I miss my old friend?"

Beyond the eaves was a piece of sky, Rong Luoyun looked up and refused to look back. He continued to walk out, and said faintly, "When the weather is clear, I will come from the main entrance and talk about the past with the adults in a frank and candid manner."

In an instant, Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun left.

Shen Wen Dao hurried to the door, holding on to the door frame before he would stand firm, the wind was blowing back and forth, he looked at the void of the courtyard, and did not move for a while.

The housekeeper came to serve: "Master, take care of the cold."

Shen Wenwen said that the foreword did not fit the description: "Chuyan has grown up, thank God for your mercy."

Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun returned to Prince Rui's mansion. It was almost dusk, and Prince Rui had not yet returned, so he didn't know what the situation in the palace was like. They did not return to the Hing Garden, but waited in the main hall, preparing to discuss the trial of Azatai.

Rong Luoyun held the hot tea and said, "The Bufan Palace was attacked, and it must have damaged many disciples."

Huo Linfeng said: "This time is different from the past. Hu Feng will definitely lead troops to help. Don't worry too much."

As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper lifted the curtain and came in and reported, "Young Master Rong, there is someone outside the mansion looking for you."

Rong Luoyun put down the cup, he has never revealed his identity in front of people, who will come to see him? Who would know that he was staying in Prince Rui's mansion? "Who is it?" he asked suspiciously, "what's the other party's name?"

The housekeeper replied, "He said his name was Lu Zhun."

Rong Luoyun said in surprise: "The third is here!"

Outside Prince Rui's mansion, Lu Zhun was dressed in blue clothes, covered with a beaded white gauze robe, and also wore a cloak with a rabbit fur collar. The two scimitars were hidden under the cloak. He paced back and forth, thinking to himself, how could it be so sluggish.

As soon as he turned around, he saw an incense car and BMW approaching. Lu Zhun recognized that this was the team the prince was traveling with. The carriage stopped in front of the door, Meng Tingyuan stepped on the stool and got off the car, climbed the steps, and saw Lu Zhun when he got outside the door.

Who dares to patrol in front of the palace, Meng Tingyuan asked, "Who are you?"

Lu Zhun looked at other people's good clothes and boots, and the jade pendant around his waist was even more dazzling, and asked, "Are you the third prince?"

Meng Tingyuan frowned and looked at the other party as if he was a criminal. Lu Zhun thought that he had acquiesced, laughed, and clasped his fists with both hands and said, "The third prince is polite!" He took a half step, covered his face with his palms and whispered, "I am the third extraordinary palace. Palace Master, Lu Zhun."

Suddenly, Meng Tingyuan grabbed Lu Zhun's wrist with a hint of anger: "Where did the jade ring on your hand come from?"

Lu Zhun was taken aback: "My second brother gave it, what did it do?"

Meng Tingyuan ordered in a deep voice: "Take it off and return it to me."

Only the little god of wealth has always robbed others, and it was the first time that he had been robbed, not even the prince. Lu Zhun broke away: "My second brother gave it to me, it's mine, why give it to you?!"

Meng Ting was full of energy: "This is my ring."

Lu Zhun said: "Hu Yan! Is your name engraved? There is a grass engraved on the head here, and the grass grows on the land. My name is Lu Zhun, and this ring is mine. If the third prince entangles again, I will sue you for looting the fat of the people! "

Falsehoods, all falsehoods! Meng Tingyuan was furious, but more sad. The things he had prepared for Rong Luoyun's eighteenth birthday were looking forward to seeing each other every day.

During this dazed time, the unreasonable young man ran into the mansion and ran away shouting "Second Brother".

Meng Tingyuan said bitterly, what a Tang Heng...

There is a good brother from Saibei in that compartment, and a good brother from Jiangnan is in this compartment!
