Chapter 138 Jin丨Jiang Literature Exclusive Published

System: [He didn't recognize me wrongly.]

Xue Chen: [Are you looking forward to it?]

System: [A little.]

Xue Chen lowered his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he put on the same cold face as his brother, looked at his father indifferently, and then retracted his gaze and fell on Gong Jiu's ornaments.

King Taiping glanced at Gong Jiu and suddenly became uncertain.

He gave his sons a warning look, trying to tell them that no matter who you are, in front of the emperor today, the one wearing the cloak must be Xue Chen, and the one wearing the jade ornaments must be Xue Lian!

Gong Jiu snorted and laughed softly.

Zhao Ji did not notice the undercurrent between the father and his two sons. He smiled and called the Xue brothers over: "You came at the right time. If you were a little later, I would have started writing. It has been several months since we last met. I heard that you were sick several times again. Are you feeling better now?"

Xue Chen: "It's just that I caught a cold when it was raining. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Zhao Ji was surrounded by many people. Everyone wanted to curry favor with him. He had heard all kinds of disgusting flattery and had long been accustomed to it. Xue Chen's words seemed ordinary to him, but with this face, he looked a little more out of touch with the world and didn't seem to be keen on power.

Zhao Ji: "Your body is indeed too weak. I happen to have a few elixirs here, all of which were made by Taoist Lin himself. They are very effective in strengthening the body and nourishing the essence. You can take some later and take three pills a day. You will see results in less than half a month."

Xue Chen thanked him: "Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty."

System: [Are his elixirs the same as the ones made by Xie Heng?]

Xue Chen: [It is probably the same as those used for frying stoves.]

System: [Do you really want to eat it?]

Xue Chen: [I haven't lived long enough, why should I eat this? But if he really gives it to me, I can take it out for reference. How can an ordinary doctor fry a stove? Xie Heng must change the stove and the formula to fry! 】

Zhao Ji said a few more words to Gong Jiu, then turned to talk to King Taiping.

Xue Chen and Gong Jiu came to the side of the younger generation, Wuqing and Tieshou came over to greet them: "Two gentlemen, it's been a long time."

Xue Chen smiled: "Yes, the last time we met was at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. I have heard that the Four Famous Detectives are rare young talents and the best among their peers. The Mid-Autumn Festival was quite rushed and I didn't have time to say a few words. Today we are gathered in the palace and finally we can have a good chat."

Wuqing and Tieshou could hear that he was just saying polite words.

There are many rules in the palace, and they have to accompany the emperor. The main purpose of entering the palace is to please the emperor. Where is the opportunity to make friends?

Wuqing and Tieshou responded politely, and the atmosphere among them was very happy.

Xue Chen looked at Liu Yixuan and Yuan Feishuang behind him.

Tieshou said immediately: "These two followed the Prime Minister and Lord Tong into the palace."

Liu Yixuan smiled faintly and nodded to Xue Chen. Yuan Feishuang looked back at him silently with affectionate eyes and gentle smile, and had no intention of speaking actively. Tieshou

had to continue speaking for him: "The one on the left wearing a pink robe is named Yuan Feishuang, and she is quite close to Prime Minister Cai. The one on the right is named Liu Yixuan. Although she is young, she has made great contributions and works with Lord Tong in the Shumiyuan."

Liu Yixuan nodded.

Iron Hand: "Lord Liu doesn't know how to speak, Master Xue, please bear with me."

System: [Why are you all silent? I see that Iron Hand is almost embarrassed to death. He must be regretting that he took the initiative to speak just now, and now he has to speak well of his political enemy.]

Xue Chen: [I don't like talking to myself.]

System: [...]

Gong Jiu asked in confusion: "When can a dumb person become an official?"

The younger generation suddenly quieted down.

Liu Yixuan blinked blankly and looked at Gong Jiu helplessly.

Xue Chen glanced at his younger brother: [What the hell, he just makes trouble for me every day.]

System: [He just dislikes everyone who is close to you equally.]

Xue Chen: [This won't work. It has seriously affected my daily life. If I become an official in the court, what will happen? I feel that he will really kill my colleagues and make a river of blood flow. 】

Those who are close to him must die, and those who hate him must also die.

System: [Teach him a lesson! ]

Wuqing seems to be cold and indifferent, but he is actually a very kind person. He has always been compassionate to the weak. Although he knows that Liu Yixuan is Tong Guan's man, he can't help but say a few words for him in this situation.

He pushed the wheelchair forward a few steps, attracting the attention of others, and said lightly: "Your Highness, you are too kind. I am also disabled, but I have entered the court as an official

." Gong Jiu: "That's true."

Xue Chen smiled and said apologetically: "My brother is outspoken and I am offended."

Wuqing said: "What are you talking about, young master? It's just a simple question. I'm afraid other people will think the same when they see me. It's human nature."

Yuan Feishuang said softly and tactfully: "It is indeed very offensive."

Wuqing looked over and saw this gentle young man with a good temper pulled the thin boy beside him, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, how do you plan to apologize?"

Gong Jiu squinted at him with sharp eyes: "Emperor?"

Yuan Feishuang's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Xue Chen: [I don't know what he's doing here. He has no sense of the overall situation.]

System: [You provoked him first!]

Xue Chen: [This is Xiaofen. I had decided a few days ago that I would use Xiaofen to bully him. Now that I have such a great opportunity, how can I resist?]

System: […]

Yuan Feishuang, played by Xue Chen, is obviously unhappy. His eyes, expression, and movements have changed accordingly. However, in the eyes of the original body, he is still gentle and kind. His expression has changed a little, but it doesn't look obvious.

Yuan Feishuang's eyes, even though they are dark and full of gloom, are full of affection to outsiders.

Xue Chen scolded, "Lan'er."

Gong Jiu stood aside proudly, exuding coldness.

Yuan Feishuang smiled softly and said, "I'll remember you. You better be careful in the future and don't run into me outside."

Gong Jiu sneered.

Xue Chen took a step back helplessly, moving away from his brother. He came to Tieshou and complained childishly: "Do as you like. I can't control it."

Tieshou smiled and said: "Although the prince is a little arrogant, he is not bad. He is very good on weekdays. It's just that it's easy to be misunderstood when we first meet."

Xue Chen asked curiously: "What is he like outside?"

Tieshou said: "I don't have much contact with the prince. My senior brother has solved a case with him. I think he has been with the prince for a longer time."

Xue Chen looked at Wuqing.

Xue Chen: [My brother can solve cases? Could it be another case of the thief crying "Stop the thief"? ]

System: [It's possible! He is not a person who meddles in other people's business. The case that makes him take the initiative to take action may be the one he did himself. Wuqing

said calmly: "Two years ago, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in the capital encountered an accident. Not only did they lose the three hundred taels of gold they were transporting, but forty-two people were also murdered by thieves. The case was sent to the Shenbu Division and handed over to me. After I checked, I found that the client of the three hundred taels of gold was your brother, so I had some dealings with him."

Xue Chen: [The murderer may not be my brother.]

System: [Ah? Why?]

Xue Chen: [He is a little bit sick, but three hundred taels of gold is a lot for others, but for my brother, it's just a few meals. Is it necessary to go to such great lengths to kill so many people for this money? "

I didn't know that such a big thing happened in the capital two years ago." Xue Chen asked: "Have you found the murderer?"

Wuqing nodded: "The murderer is the Yuanshun Escort Agency which is also in the capital. Because they couldn't bear to see the Zhenyuan Escort Agency and the Taiping Palace getting too close, they set up an ambush and disrupted the business of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. The Yuanshun Escort Agency does a huge business and has many masters. The situation was extremely complicated at the time. Thanks to the prince's help, we were able to escape."

Xue Chen smiled gently: "Lian'er's martial arts are indeed good."

Wuqing: "Not only good..."

That day he saw Gong Jiu's sword, it was gorgeous and eye-catching, faster than the wind, and it took the enemy's life easily.

His swordsmanship is beyond ordinary, and Wuqing himself cannot guarantee whether he can survive the battle with Gong Jiu.

Such a peerless swordsman has always been unknown, and his reputation is lower than it should be. Wuqing feels a little uneasy.

After so many years, the Prince of Taiping has been working in the army and has not made any other moves, so Wuqing is relieved.

Xue Chen is more concerned about another thing: "He was not injured in the fight, right?"

Wuqing shook his head: "The prince's martial arts are extremely high, and ordinary people can't get close to him, but..."

Xue Chen: "Just what?"

Wuqing: "Later, his face was not very good..."

Gong Jiu, who was confronting Yuan Feishuang, turned around suddenly and interrupted him: "Brother!"

His voice was a little loud, and Zhao Ji and others stopped talking and focused their attention on Gong Jiu.

Gong Jiu maintained a cold expression and came to Xue Chen's side.

Zhao Ji joked, "My two brothers are really close. They can't be apart for a while."

The soft spot of King Taiping is these two sons. No matter what he is doing, his expression will be much more relaxed when he hears his two children.

He looked at his twins and said gently, "These two children have a good relationship since they were young, and it has always been like this."

The palace servants brought the rice paper and paint over. It was windy outside and the weather was cold, so Zhao Ji changed the place for painting to the pavilion next to it, which was warm inside.

With all the pens and ink ready, Zhao Ji looked outside and said happily, "The heavy snow falling on the Taihu rocks also has a special flavor, but it's a pity that there are only white plum blossoms here, which lacks a bit of color."

"I think the scenery is just right." Cai Jing said immediately, "Even though there is no red plum fragrance in the secular world, there are the twin flowers of Taiping."

The reason why the King of Taiping was named "Taiping" is because he controls the world's troops. Even if Tong Guan is in charge of the Shumiyuan, he must get his permission before the military orders he issued can take effect.

If you ask who hates the King of Taiping the most among those present, the first one is Tong Guan, the second one is Cai Jing, and the third one is Zhao Ji.

The two words "Taiping" in Cai Jing's words now have the meaning they should have.

Zhao Ji was quite satisfied with what he heard. He held Cai Jing's hand and looked at the people behind him. The more he looked, the more he felt that the Bank of China was full of talents and it would be no problem to defeat the Kingdom of Jin: "With all of you dear ministers sharing my worries, why should I worry about the injustice in the world?"

Others expressed their loyalty at this time. Gong Jiu mixed in the crowd and saluted with his brother.

System: [It feels like singing an opera, one scene after another. Doesn't Zhao Ji feel hypocritical?]

Xue Chen: [Apart from anything else, for Zhao Ji, the emotional value provided by this kind of show is still very appropriate. A weak and incompetent monarch like him must be afraid of losing everything he has now. The information provided by Cai Jing before coming here also proved this point. The facts cannot be changed, so we can only live a life of drunkenness and dreams. Tokyo Dream, in the end, is just a big dream. 】

System: [You really can't sing opera? 】

Xue Chen: [Opera is drama and film literature, and it is completely different from opera! 】

Zhao Ji imagined the red plum blossoms standing proudly in the snow, and slowly painted.

He didn't draw the people directly, but a scholar in green clothes admiring the beautiful scenery in the snowy mountains, with mist lingering around the clusters of flowers behind him. Each flower has a different style, some swaying in the wind, some proudly standing in the middle, but all of them are strong and not afraid of the cold wind.

The whole painting is like a fairyland, extremely ethereal, and the "meaning" revealed is a bit scattered, but every detail is worth savoring.

Zhao Ji painted for four hours before he finished the painting. He wrote a word on it and put down the pen with satisfaction.

Cai Jing immediately started to flatter, praising the emperor's calligraphy and painting.

Although Cai Jing was a powerful official, he was also a calligrapher. There is a saying that the Cai in "Su Huang Mi Cai" refers to Cai Jing, which shows that his calligraphy level is quite high, otherwise he would not be a candidate for "Cai".

He spoke very logically and understood Zhao Ji's thoughts. Every sentence touched his heart.

Xue Chen stood in the back in a low-key manner, thinking: [Why hasn't Fang Yingkan come yet? ]

System: [Yes, is there something wrong with your brother's information? ]

Xue Chen: [It shouldn't be. My brother is such a strict person. He wouldn't tell me without finding out the truth. I think, either something happened over there and he was not allowed to come, or he came at the last minute. If it's the latter, he must be here to apologize.]

Zhao Ji called out, "Yuan Feishuang, come and take a look. How does the snow mountain I painted compare to where you live?"

Cai Jing still had a smile on his face and looked at Yuan Feishuang kindly.

Yuan Feishuang stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty painted a low mountain, and I live in a high mountain. The two cannot be compared."

Zhao Ji: "Why do you say that?"

Yuan Feishuang: "Only low mountains have traces of people and flowers, and high mountains are only covered with ice and snow all year round. No other colors can be seen, and no one wants to go there."

Zhao Ji: "If that's the case, why do you live in a high mountain?"

Yuan Feishuang: "Because I don't like dealing with people."

Gong Jiu asked coldly: "You can stay in the mountains for the rest of your life."

Yuan Feishuang looked at him angrily: "I just hide in the mountains because I hate people like you. Later, I figured it out. Why should I hide? I have to come out and go wherever I want. People like you should live in seclusion in a deserted place, so as not to annoy others."

Cai Jing saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly grabbed him: "Feishhuang, don't be rude."

Yuan Feishuang said aggrievedly: "Prime Minister, he bullied me."

Zhao Ji didn't expect that the immortal Yuan Feishuang had such a side.

He looked very gentle, and Zhao Ji thought he would be a tolerant and forgiving gentleman, calm as water, and didn't like to conflict with others. Unexpectedly, he was like a child, not hiding his emotions at all, and even acting coquettishly with Cai Jing.

Zhao Ji suddenly felt that Yuan Feishuang's temperament was extremely lively.

He looked at Cai Jing, wanting to see how his beloved minister would respond.

Cai Jing understood, and the pressure increased greatly.

He also thought that Yuan Feishuang was a stable person at first, but he only saw his other side before coming here today.

It was too late to regret, Cai Jing could only try his best to perform in front of Zhao Ji, so that when Yuan Feishuang offended the emperor, he could distance himself from her in time and not involve Liufenbantang.

He didn't expect that Yuan Feishuang, who was like this, could actually catch the emperor's eye, and he wanted to see how he and Yuan Feishuang got along.

Life and death all depended on his thoughts.

Cai Jing was overwhelmed.

Who else could Yuan Feishuang have a conflict with, but it had to be the Prince of Taiping!

Who doesn't know the temper of the Prince of Taiping?

This child is completely different from his father and brother. I really don't know how the cunning King Taiping could raise such a cold and arrogant son like the prince.

Xue Lian is a very politically savvy person. If he wants to make friends with others, no one can refuse him.

But most of the time, he doesn't take the officials in the court seriously, let alone actively try to please anyone. Moreover, he is too smart and knows very well who can be offended and who cannot be offended... In the court, only the emperor is the one he cannot afford to offend. Xue Lian will not give face to anyone else.

Cai Jing said with a smile: "Is there any misunderstanding between the prince and Feishuang?"

Gong Jiu: "Who is he?"

Cai Jing: "Feishhuang is my disciple. I admire his martial arts and talents, and specially recommended him to the emperor."

Gong Jiu stopped talking.

Cai Jing: "If Feishuang has offended the prince, I will make amends for him. This kid is young and this is his first time down the mountain. He doesn't understand the ways of the world, but his mind is pure and he has absolutely no bad intentions. Please don't bother with him."

Gong Jiu sneered.

Xue Chen: [Guess what he is thinking now?]

System: [What?]

Xue Chen: [My brother is thinking: Do you really think I have never seen a pure-hearted person? My eldest brother is truly kind and gentle. How can Yuan Feishuang deserve this word?]

System: [……]

Yuan Feishuang snorted lightly.

Cai Jing patted him on the back, using some force, with a warning: "Feishhuang, why don't you come and apologize to the prince."

"I don't want to." He saw that Cai Jing was unreliable, and looked at the person with the highest status at the scene, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please judge, I didn't do anything wrong, it was obviously he who bullied me first."

Zhao Ji laughed: "I won't interfere in your children's affairs."

Cai Jing looked at Zhao Ji with grateful and admiring eyes, as if he admired him for being so smart and solving the problem between the two of them with just one sentence.

Yuan Feishuang was very unhappy, he pulled Gong Jiu's sleeve: "Come on, go out and fight with me."

Gong Jiu was unmoved.

Yuan Feishuang used his internal strength, pulled hard, pulled him staggering, and forcibly dragged him away.

Gong Jiu's eyes were filled with confusion and shock. He had never expected that Yuan Feishuang, who looked weak and particularly delicate, could have such great strength.

He turned his head to look at his brother, but saw that his elder brother smiled and waved his hands: "Go, I won't interfere in the affairs of you two children."

Gong Jiu: "..."

After the two quarrelsome people left, the atmosphere in the pavilion became happy again.

Xue Chen walked to the side of King Taiping and whispered: "Dad, I'll go out and take a look."

King Taiping: "I knew you couldn't let go of your brother. Go, Dad is here."

Xue Chen left silently.

Coming out of the warm pavilion, the cold wind blew on his face.

He pulled the ink-colored cloak on his body and walked towards his brother according to Yuan Feishuang's memory.

System: [I have a bad feeling...]

Xue Chen: [What do you mean?]

System: [Your brother will not be beaten by Xiaofen until he has a seizure, will he? Then he will not only embarrass himself in front of you, but also in front of the emperor.]

Xue Chen: [No, my brother has a strong patience. As long as he is willing to endure, there is nothing he can't endure. You saw that he seemed to have frequent seizures before, but in fact, he was fearless and unwilling to put himself

in a difficult position.] System: [That's right. He hasn't been beaten next door recently. It seems that he is in control very well.]

Gong Jiu looked at Yuan Feishuang coldly, unwilling to take the initiative.

Yuan Feishuang asked: "What is your weapon?"

Gong Jiu: "Sword."

Yuan Feishuang: "There is no sword here, I will find one for you, so that you don't say I am bullying you."

Gong Jiu: "No need."

Yuan Feishuang: "You said it yourself, so I won't be polite."

Before coming here, he had already upgraded his [Qinggong] skill to the maximum level, and now his body movement has reached the top level. There are few people in the world who can be his opponent.

Yun Heyan's Qinggong is elegant and graceful, and Yuan Feishuang's Qinggong is similar in use, but the specific details are different.

His Qinggong is the same as Di Feijing's Qinggong body movement, both of which were taught by the prophet, called "Swift Dragon Shadowless", which is the best in the martial arts world and is not much inferior to Liu Wu of the Power Gang.

After reaching the maximum level, Yuan Feishuang's Qinggong was stronger than Di Feijing's.

He did not hold back and came to Gong Jiu at the fastest speed. When Gong Jiu used his sword energy to block, he used his grappling hand and touched his hair.

Then Gong Jiu's eyes blurred and he was already restrained by Yuan Feishuang.

Yuan Feishuang pinched his neck with one hand and his right wrist with the other. He stood behind Gong Jiu and whispered, "I thought you were very powerful, but I didn't expect you to be an embroidered pillow, good-looking but useless."

System: [……]

Gong Jiu did not expect that he would be defeated so quickly. A fierce look appeared on his face. He resisted suddenly and tried to escape from Yuan Feishuang.

Yuan Feishuang discovered his intention and pinched his neck even harder.

He sighed softly, "I actually don't like killing people, but there are always people who seek death. Just be good and kowtow to me to apologize, and I will forgive you, okay?"

Gong Jiu had difficulty breathing, but his martial arts were special, and he would be fine even if he stayed at the bottom of the sea for three days and three nights. How could a mere suffocation do anything to him?

He gritted his teeth and replied, "You are looking for death."

Yuan Feishuang said distressedly, "It is obvious that you are the one who should die. Alas, I really don't like killing people... What can I do? Prime Minister Cai said that he has power, but I don't see that at all. If I kill you, Prime Minister Cai will be in a difficult situation, right?"

Gong Jiu slapped Yuan Feishuang with his backhand, and Yuan Feishuang loosened the hand that was holding his neck and restrained his other hand.

Gong Jiu's body seemed to melt, and he escaped from Yuan Feishuang's control in a very soft form.

Yuan Feishuang's fingers were still in the shape of eagle claws. He looked at the man in red with a cold face in disbelief: "What kind of kung fu is this?"

Xue Chen: [Is this the yoga that my brother usually practices?]

System: [……]
