Nightfall Chapter 142: Appearance

Chapter 142 debuts

The quiet house was quiet. Li Yu looked directly at Prince Yan’s eyes, and after a long time, he opened his lips gently, and said slowly: “It can’t be done without strong assistance. Longqing has the Xiling Temple hidden behind. No, if Brother Chongming is willing, I believe my father will never mind sending the letter of credence to your father."

In this world, only the Tang Empire is capable of fighting against the Xiling Temple. However, after hearing this, Prince Yan did not move, nor did he show ecstasy. Instead, he fell into a long silence.

"Although I don’t understand why the Xiling Temple agreed with Prince Longqing to enter Chang’an City to replace you as a hostage, I don’t want to think about the purpose of Prince Longqing’s intention to enter the second floor of the academy. I only know that the current situation is for you. It is extremely advantageous. It is difficult for him to remotely become Beijing in Chang'an. Isn't it your opportunity?"

Li Yu looked at the drooping eyelashes of Prince Yan, and said calmly: "Xiling Temple is indeed a noble and holy place. The great figure of the Judgment Division is really amazing. Taking such a figure as a proton, perhaps many people in Jinli, Henan I am mocking my Datang for acting absurd, but these people don’t even know that there is only one place in the world that has enough ability to take care of the second person in the Judgment Division as a hostage, and that place is the Academy."

Prince Yan finally broke the silence, looked up at Li Yu’s eyes solemnly, and said: “The problem is that as far as I know, even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has very limited influence on the academy. If the dean does not want to restrict Long Qing’s personal freedom, on the contrary, allows Long Qing to make further gains in the second floor. How should I deal with myself?"

Li Yu frowned slightly, and said softly: "After all, the academy is in the city of Chang'an, so don't worry too much."

"This has nothing to do with Duo worry." Prince Yan answered calmly: "I know what a proud man Long Qing is. People like him are willing to abandon their pride and agree to accept the assessment before entering the college. The second floor shows that the academy is a very important place for him. What Long Qing is best at is to turn all the people or things that he thinks seem important to him."

"Are you worried that if Longqing enters the second floor of the academy, the people in the academy will support him?" Li Yu shook his head firmly and said calmly: "The academy never interferes in the internal affairs of the empire, let alone a foreign country. The battle for the throne."

Swallow shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: "Anyway, I always feel that letting him into the second floor of the college is not a good thing."

"If it was a purely bad thing for Longqing and Xiling, they would not agree to the father's request a few months ago." Li Yu thoughtfully, frowned and said to himself: "If he Can't enter the second floor..."

"I heard that there was a great talent from the Southern Jin Dynasty in the academy..." Prince Yan muttered.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and shook their heads almost simultaneously. This time the second floor of the academy was opened, and it was stated that only one person would be accepted. In fact, it was because of the handover hidden behind the scenes. That position was originally prepared for the Prince Longqing, and with that person’s ability, even if they could arrange some competition It is not enough to shake the other party.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps on the wooden porch outside the quiet and deep house. Prince Yan glanced at Li Yu with an inquiring look. Li Yu smiled and replied: "Hua Shanyue and his men The same robe."

At the place where the voice fell, a military uniformed Duwei Huashan of Gushan County and several officers beside him walked into the long hall and gave a fist to Li Yu before meeting Prince Yan.

The maidservant reset the alcohol case, and several people in Huashan Mountain sat down as ordered, and the house returned to quiet.

Li Yu calmly looked at Crown Prince Yan and said: "My palace ordered Captain Hua to rush back to Chang'an, thinking that it would be better for the two parties to meet before you leave Chongming."

"At the end, he will be stationed in Hebei Province all year round, and may be transferred from Gushan County to Shanyin County in the next year." Hua Shanyue added.

Shanyin County is in the southeast of Minshan Mountain, adjacent to Yanjing. Although the troops stationed in this county of the Datang Empire are not as terrible as the frontier troops led by General Xiahou in the north, they are within the territory of Datang and the Kingdom of Yan. The capital becomes the nearest armed force of the capital.

In the early years, Prince Yan met Huashan Mountain and knew that he was a fanatical admirer of the fourth princess Li Yu, and he was also a key training object for the younger generation of the Datang Army. He would naturally think that Li Yu hurriedly summoned this person back. Jing, not to see him off, but to hide a deeper meaning.

Hearing Hua Shanyue personally admitted that he would be transferred to Shanyin County next year, Prince Yan instantly understood what Li Yu meant. He looked at the wine bottle on the case and fell into a long time of thinking. Although there was no expression fluctuation on his face, the struggle and conflict in his heart had reached the extreme. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "If things happen I will never use your move until it reaches the last step."

Li Yu calmly replied: "If you don’t have to go to the last step, then everyone will be happy, but if you really go to the last step, I hope Brother Chongming will have the courage to have no regrets when you settle down. I want you to understand. One point, this is not just considering the interests of my Datang, I hope you can get what belongs to you."

The so-called farewell is just a final endorsement of certain transactions and promises. Although there must be a friendship of ten years of acquaintance in it, after all, it is a matter of family and country. Once the superficial warmth is torn off, the banquet will be difficult Replying to the original Yu Xiao Yan Ran, the scene seemed a bit awkward for a while.

Hua Shanyue remembered what he had seen outside the house, and said with a smile: "The terrace on the lakeside of Victory Court is packed today. It is noisy, but it is much more lively than here."

"Oh?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously: "Who has such a big hand?"

When she said this, she didn't realize that she had completely packaged the most quiet and expensive back house in Victory, which was the real masterpiece. After all, she was the most respected and beloved princess of the Tang Dynasty. Compared to her?

"They are the students of the college, Situ Yilan and Wucai are among them. When she met before, she said that she would come to toast and see the ceremony later. I thought that His Highness made a special trip to see off Prince Chongming today. I wonder if it is convenient. So there is no answer."

"The students in the academy are the pillars of my Datang or the whole world. What's wrong with seeing them in this palace?" Princess Li Yu, who is known for her virtue and cherishing talents, will naturally not miss such a gathering of young talents. At the opportunity, he smiled at Prince Yan and said, "I believe Brother Chongming also wants to meet the new students in the college?"

"That's natural." Prince Yan nodded calmly.

……

……

The academy students who drank and had fun on the lakeside terrace did not completely forget the previous reprimand of Hua Shanyue, but he was the military captain and the senior of the academy, and those words were sharp and unsympathetic, but they were wordless. In the real place, there is nowhere to argue, so they can only tolerate dumbly and comfort themselves in the name of brothers.

After winning the victory and living in the back house, the nobles found out that their so-called pride is really not suitable for Chang'an. This magical city, it is possible to bump into the same place in the side alley. The drunk Xiao Guoguo might meet a certain prince from Moon Wheel Kingdom if he brags in a tea shop. He and others just wanted to get together by their heads, but they actually ran into Her Royal Highness Princess Datang. Farewell to Prince Yan...

The Triumphant Residence occupies a very large area. The back house is the ancestral property left by an old Yushi during the Kamikaze period. It can accommodate two or three hundred people, but after all, the princess called her. All the college students line up to ask for peace and turn Qingyou Guiyuan into a vegetable market? It’s just a selection of students who have good grades and good reputations on weekdays. Naturally, the representatives include the six technical subjects headed by Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun and other talented people, as well as the Changan dignitaries such as Situ Yilan and Chu Zhongtian. Children, and someone.

When the students of the academy entered the Qingyou house, Li Yuzheng was talking to Prince Yan in a low voice. Suddenly her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she looked over subconsciously, and she saw the familiar and hateful one at the end of the crowd. s face.

In the past six months, she often called Sangsang to go to the princess mansion to speak with her, but she never saw Ning Que again, but through various channels, Ning Que's deeds in the academy continued to enter her In the ears.

She knew about the gambling appointment for the final exam, and knew that he was later squeezed out by his classmates in the college, but she never spoke. It was just an acquaintance during a trip. What happened to a student in a mere college, how qualified to attract her attention? Even if she was willing, she couldn't show it in many cases.

"I have seen her Royal Highness."

"I have seen Prince Chongming."

Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun, and Linchuan Wang Ying stood in front of the quiet corridor of the house, and saluted the two nobles on the table in turn. After repeated answers, all the students performed well, especially Xie Chengyun and Wang Ying. The words were quite solemn, and Li Yu felt quite satisfied, but it was a pity that the third son of Xie was from the Southern Jin Dynasty and not from the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Chongming, what do you think of my young talents in Datang?" Li Yu asked while looking at Prince Yan with a smile.

Prince Yan said with a faint smile: "The Great Tang is prestigious across the world, and the academy is a sacred place through the ages, naturally extraordinary."

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded out of the backyard of Victory Juqing, there were obstructions and reprimands, and it seemed that someone was rushing here. Li Yu looked at the passage hidden behind the bamboo, holding the small wine glass between his fingers and did not speak, but frowned slightly. Hua Shanyue, who was sitting on the seat two feet behind her, had a solemn expression and shouted sharply. : "Who is so bold, dare to run into the place where your Highness banquets and drinks!"

The noise outside the courtyard quickly turned into a sound that was still messy but completely disagrees with the taste. The sound of silk and bamboo in the bamboo forest behind the corridor was suddenly chaotic and untuned, and the girl’s surprise shout was faintly sandwiched by the reporter. The sound of knocking over the banquet, and then all these sounds disappeared in the next moment.

In the quiet house, under the rain corridor, beside the bamboo wall, there was no sound. It became silent, quiet and heart-palpiting, except for the sound of footsteps that fell among the stone paths and seemed to fall on the human heart.

The sound of footsteps coming slowly from outside the house does not belong to only one person, and is not neat, but the ears of everyone in the courtyard seem to hear only one of them. The footsteps are extremely stable, and they can only be heard from the ear Released a very strong taste of pride, it seemed that he was stepping on the heavenly path leading to the sky with every step.

……

……

The boss of Victory Ju, with a face of pain and helplessness, walked forward like a poor boy. Although he led outsiders to the feast of the four princesses, it was undoubtedly the fastest way to die. , However, at this time, the guests behind him are also very big, and the more important thing is that the reason given by the other party cannot be refuted.

Walking on the stone path is Zeng Jing, a scholar of Datang Wenyuan Pavilion, a member of the Korean Central Committee who is trusted by his majesty and queen, with a faint smile on his face and no real emotions can be seen.

On the right hand of the scholar of Zeng Jing, is a middle-aged man wearing a black Taoist robe and wearing a Haotian divine sword at his waist. He is the deputy dean of the Tianyu Academy of Xiling Temple, who is visiting the capital city of Chang'an this time. Priest.

Everyone knows that the relationship between the empress and the four princesses is not incompatible, but because of the succession to the throne in a certain year in the future, they are naturally in a hostile camp. Now the queen empress’s chief minister wants The feast of Princess Chuang is accompanied by a great figure from the Kingdom of Xiling. Who wants to trap himself in this terrifying turbulence? What's more, among the crowd who came to the banquet, there is also that...

The academician Zeng Jing and the priest Mo Li came hand in hand, and logically speaking, they were destined to attract everyone's attention in the courtyard, but in fact, everyone's attention in the field at this time fell on the young man behind them. .

There is a kind of person in the world who naturally has a certain charm, even if he is a stubborn and muddy young man among thousands of people, even if he is an ordinary-faced girl among the black and oppressive devout believers, no matter how low-key and silent he is Walking in the crowd, no matter how many glorious and powerful people are around him, as long as he is in that picture, then when you look at it, you will definitely see him at first sight, and then you will never be able to look away.

The young man in the crowd is such a person. He was about twenty years old. He was wearing the lifeless robes of the Xiling Temple adjudicated, and he wore a sword with an ordinary handle on his waist. His footsteps were gentle and steady. In this way, he followed Master Zeng Jing and priest Mo Li into the courtyard. , Instantly grabbed all eyes.

The handsome eyebrows are as impeccable as in the legend, reflecting the faint sky light leaking from the treetops, and the lingering catkins, Prince Longqing appeared in people's field of vision like a god.

There is no negative emotion on his face, he is always calm, but it is like the rhythm of clear to rigid footsteps, so that everyone in the field can feel his pride, which is deeply hidden in his body to disdain. Yu Zhan reveals pride.

There was a brief silence, and the people in the empty and quiet courtyard subconsciously stood up to greet him. The students of the academy instantly guessed the identity of this person, and their faces showed a touch of confusion, their eyes were slightly disturbed, and their emotions were extremely complex.

Li Yu sitting on the top seat slightly lowered his eyes, the look of surprise and cold alertness in his eyes was fleeting, while the eyes of Prince Yan sitting opposite her were more complicated, a little sad and a little sad, and then slowly stood up Then, with a gentle smile on his face, he said: "Long Qing...this has been missing for many years."

At this time, I had been sitting in the farthest corner of the courtyard, complaining that the kneeling etiquette was not ergonomic, Ning Que finally noticed these uninvited guests, and opened his mouth to look at the extraordinary Longqing in the crowd. The prince exclaimed: "This is really a click of thunder, and the male pig's horns finally made their debut."
