Chapter 22 High-sounding

There is a phenomenon in Taiping, although the northern and southern dynasties have been in conflict for a hundred years, Beiji City and Jinling City are the imperial capitals, and they are drunk at all seasons. They have not known military revolution for a hundred years, and are extremely prosperous and prosperous.

Now the two dynasties of Nanyan and Beizhao are both powerful rulers, and both of them are juveniles who are on the throne.

At that time, the nine sons of the first emperor, the ninth younger brother of Emperor Yan Shen Zhuo, and the king of You, Shen Zhen, had been in charge of Beizhao for [-] years. They returned to the court in the first year of Zhengyun and advocated peace negotiations. After returning to the country for seven years, they repeatedly fought against Shen Zhuo.In the seventh year of Zhengyun, he was finally killed by the young and vigorous Emperor Yan at that time, in the name of collaborating with the enemy and disordering the government, and being disloyal to the country.

The three sons and two daughters are all young, and they are either imprisoned or exiled.

Four years later, Huaishang and Guandong experienced wars, the population decreased greatly, and the people were in dire straits. The two emperors Zhao and Yan stepped forward one after another. On the Huai River, draw the Huai River in the east and the Yangtze River in the west for governance.

At that time, only the third son, Shen Huaiyu, and the second daughter, Shen Bi, remained of Prince You's daughter.

Shen Huaiyu was granted the title of Marquis of Taiping, and Shen Bi was given the title of Lord of Anping County. Three years ago, she married a small military officer in the Liangzhe Army.

The bloody lesson learned here is also the reason why Shen Menghan accepted the task happily and abandoned the Beizhao Wulin League.

The crown is winding, and the imperial capital is majestic.

The Beizhao Palace is located in the middle of Beiji City, and the foundation is about ten feet high. The blue-green glazed tiles of the palace are slowly falling across the streets and alleys of Beiji City in the sunlight.

From the Zhuque Gate in the south of the city to the Huanghuang palace in the capital of Emperor Zhao in the north, it leads straight to the sky. The young Shen Menghan never thought that it was the first time he met Emperor Zhao. , but his eyes were revealing: "I've heard for a long time that Mr. Nanyan was born in Qinhuai, but when I saw him today, he is really stunning."

The emperor and ministers of Beizhao had fun together.

Emperor Zhao's breath of anger on the battlefield fell directly on Shen Menghan who was a child back then.

The sound of laughter overturned the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Mingtang of the Son of Heaven is like a marketplace.

Only Zhou Qian, whose Highness clenched his fingers, changed his face in the hall.

The gossip in the whole Beiji City seems to be that Nanyan sent a dancer and singer instead of Shen Zhuo's proton.

The long street was bustling with people coming and going, Xie Chenyan clenched Shen Menghan's hand tightly, and his palm was slightly sweaty.

In the world, the layout is particularly square. They walk on the main street from south to north, and in the distance lead directly to the Qianbu Corridor in front of Chengtianmen. The city gate is much higher than ordinary streets and alleys, and its overlooking posture is high in the sky.

In the brothel, the people in the clothes look like dogs. When they see the zither player playing drums, they are willing to call him a little gentleman. When they come to this bright hall, the obscene language behind their backs is better than Goulan Wasi.

Such a majestic imperial capital, with its majestic long streets, is nothing more than a huge place where filth is hidden.

No one is cleaner than the other.

Shen Menghan took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his palms, and said softly: "Jinjielou in front is the largest teahouse in Beiji City, let's try the dishes there today."

Xie Chenyan said obediently: "Okay."

He was still curious, and tightened his grip on Shen Menghan's wrist, knowing that this person would not leave, he began to look around again.

Martial arts practitioners have keen senses. When he approached the Jinjie Tower, he felt a scrutiny. Shen Menghan wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held it tight again.

Shen Menghan let out a "hiss" due to his strength, Xie Chenyan just woke up like a dream, and hastily loosened his wrist to check, there are two obvious blue spots on the cold white and slender wrist.

Xie Chenyan was stunned, looking at his fingers in disbelief.His eyes were full of horror.

Shen Menghan put down his cuffs, turned his wrist, and said softly, "It's okay."

Xie Chenyan raised his head again, the scrutinizing gaze had already disappeared.

He stood at the door and refused to go in: "Let's change to another house."

Shen Menghan patted his head and said, "I have an appointment."

Xie Chenyan was taken aback, he thought that Shen Menghan came to Beiji City specially to accompany him, but it turned out not to be.

These days, he also wanted to understand why Shen Menghan told him to leave early.

He is not in good health and cannot travel long distances, and he is worried that he came here just after doing business.

If he can't move fast, naturally he can't make Xie Chenyan go faster.

Grievance and sadness surged up together, as well as the two bruises left on his wrist just now.

The unhappiness towards herself and Shen Menghan was all accumulated together.

Xie Chenyan said softly: "You always have your reasons."

Shen Menghan was startled.

Xie Chenyan said in a low voice: "You don't tell me anything."

When I was a little fool who came and went when I was called.

Shen Menghan sighed heavily.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability to guess people's hearts, but no matter how embarrassing his life experience and no matter how rough his experience is, he is also known to the world as the son of Shen Zhuo, the seven sons of Emperor Yan who are well-known in the national books of the two dynasties.

What's more, he was in charge of the Wulin League at the age of 15, and led the black-clothed Habayashi at the age of 19.Although he is a commoner, he occupies a high position and holds great power. Except for Zhou Qian who taught him to grow up, there is no need to reveal his heart to others in everything.

However, those who forbear, those who are indifferent, are numb, numb to themselves, and numb to others.

Xie Chenyan couldn't bear such numbness.

His joy is pure, his love and hatred are also pure, and he does not fall into their self-proclaimed calm and tacit indifference.

Shen Menghan once thought that what Xie Chenyan wanted was very simple, but he never thought about the most common and ordinary things for ordinary people, but he couldn't do them.

However, he had infinite patience in treating Xie Chenyan, he took Xie Chenyan's hand again, led him into the Jinjie Building, and said softly: "The appointment was a temporary idea of ​​mine, not the purpose of this trip."

It seems that it is not as difficult as he imagined to explain: "We killed Yang Jin, and it will be very difficult to come to Beizhao in the future. Xiaoyan wants to come to Beiji City like this. I don't want Xiaoyan's wish list to be left behind." Sorry."

Xie Chenyan said: "But you are more important than wishes. If you don't like Beiji City, I don't want to come either."

Shen Menghan stopped downstairs, with mixed feelings in his heart.

There is a person who puts you in the bottom of his heart and puts you in the most important position, all joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys surround you, and regard you as the only one, the most important person in life.

Even if you lie to him, let him down, treat him not so sincerely, the dust and dust in this world can be washed away by him with a warm and clear heart.

How could he not be moved.

Even if it has nothing to do with love, the admiration is sincere and sensitive.

Shen Menghan bent down and gently hugged Xie Chenyan.

Such sincerity should not be let down.

Yuan He, the third son of Emperor Zhao, was nine years old when he confronted Nanyan, and was two years older than Shen Menghan. Not just a little bit better.

The two had never met before.

Shen Menghan was not afraid that he would expose his relationship with Xie Chenyan.

Firstly, Yuan He has been in Nanyan for a long time, and Shen Menghan has already known his personality and behavior style; secondly, both of them know a thing or two about each other's power in Nanyan and Beizhao. Although they have never met each other, they have already exchanged a few times In the next round, it is better to swim together arm in arm, turn a blind eye to each other, so that we can meet each other in the future.

What's more, Shen Menghan's act of killing Yang Jinlai and informing Emperor Zhao of Shen Menghan and Xie Chenyan's trip will do Yuan He all harm but no benefit.

Yuan He's mother, Ji Shi, was Ji Chao's cousin. She was implicated in Ji Chao's case and died in depression, and Yuan He was selected as the proton for this reason.

Shen Menghan took Xie Chenyan up to the second floor, Yuan He came to greet him in person, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen."

He is also a handsome young man, slender and tall, and he is not distressed by the wandering for more than ten years.

With a smile on his face, he is amiable.

His existence reminded Shen Menghan, the air of being a human being always needs to be taken care of.

He was so handsome, Shen Menghan raised his expression slightly without realizing it.

He bowed generously and said, "Brother Yuan."

They are both degenerates in the end of the world, but false titles are meaningless.

Shen Menghan introduced to Yuan He: "Thank you Chenyan."

Yuan He's face was calm, and he also smiled and said: "Xie Shaoxia, I have long admired you."

He was not surprised to see Shen Menghan brought Xie Chenyan by his side.

People like them are good at all three religions and nine schools. Xie Chenyan's martial arts is very strong, and it's hard to distinguish between good and evil. He only remembers it secretly, and doesn't speculate.

If Shen Menghan and Xie Chenyan didn't change their appearance today, I'm afraid he would have another calculation in his heart.

With their identities, it was inconvenient to exchange pleasantries in the hallway, Yuan He quickly led them to the elegant room.

Xie Chenyan and Shen Menghan whispered, "Is he your brother?"

Shen Menghan was startled and said: "No."

Xie Chenyan said quickly, "I think the two of you are somewhat alike."

Shen Menghan patted his head, smiled without saying a word.

"Although he doesn't look as good-looking as you, he just..." Xie Chenyan racked his brains to think, "It's just indescribably similar."

Shen Menghan praised sincerely: "Xiao Yan is very smart."

Of course, he will not have any similarities with Yuan He in appearance, but they have been protons for 12 years, and there are indeed indescribable similarities in some places.

Xie Chenyan said with a stern face: "You all think I'm a little fool."

Shen Menghan raised his hand: "I don't."

Xie Chenyan snorted and sat down, and he stopped bickering with Shen Menghan.Eyes flicked around with the bright and colorful dim sum.

He has been in Yin Pavilion for so long, and it is not uncommon to see exquisite dim sum, but although the Beidi dim sum is not as exquisite as that of Jiangnan, it wins with color and shape, which is more attractive to children like him.

What's more, he grew up outside the Great Wall, so compared to Jiangnan food, northern food suits his taste better.

Yuan He said: "The dim sum in the north is only good-looking, but it is not as good as Jiangnan fine crafts."

Shen Menghan also said: "The materials used in the north are solid, and the colors used are also bold and novel. It may not be inferior to Jiangnan."

They exchanged a few words lightly, and then looked at each other with a smile, the two of them grew up in Beizhao from Nanyan, but grew up in Nanyan from Beizhao. I'm close.

It's a pity that the status is limited, and the friendship in this life can only be limited to the end, and it will be of no benefit to each other to deepen the friendship.

The two chatted happily with Yan Yan, Xie Chenyan just buried his head in eating, Yuan He took good care of him during the dinner, Xie Chenyan also had a good impression of him, when he wants someone to like him, naturally he can do anything.

During the dinner, Yuan He suggested to drink some wine, Xie Chenyan immediately raised his head and said: "Brother Meng Han can't drink! I'll accompany you!"

Yuan He laughed and said, "Since that's the case, it's fine to replace wine with tea."

It was rare for someone to take his words seriously like this, and Xie Chenyan treated him even more closely.

This meal can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host.

After the meal, Yuan He suggested to sit down again, and called people to serve tea and food. Xie Chenyan was picking tea and food at the side, and Shen Yuan and Shen Yuan sat at the coffee table by the street and talked quietly.

"I heard that Brother Shen was attacked when he was returning to the south." Yuan He slowed down, as if organizing his words: "I used to be in Jinling City, and I didn't hear a thing or two. It wasn't just Feiyao Sect and Zhaoyuemen. Several small sects of Zhaoyuemen are on the verge of resurgence. It’s just that the imperial court is very tight on the martial arts, and no big storms have been caused.”

Yuan He is different from Shen Menghan, he is the upright Prince of Beizhao, so naturally he can't get involved in Jianghu affairs like Shen Menghan, but as a proton, he also has his own channels to know things that he shouldn't know. Be honest.
