Jiankang City, the roof of Tianyang Palace, there is also a thick layer of frost.

Compared with the palaces of all the other princes of the Southern Dynasty, the palace of Qi Xuan, the king of Tianyang, is not small in scale, just because Qi Xuan was crowned the prince in the previous dynasty, and this mansion has been built in the previous dynasty, so compared with those newly built palaces, it seems a little old.

It's just not necessarily as good as the old.

Some things don't taste until there's time.

The old atmosphere of Tianyang Palace, sometimes very hot to some powerful people in the Southern Dynasty.

For example, the famous flowers and trees planted in the courtyard, even if they are rare, even if they are cared for and cared for in every way when they are transplanted, it is difficult to give birth to that unique wild charm if they are not ten or eight years.

Not to mention the small landscapes built around these trees.

Just a few mossy and cattailed stones on the edge of the pond are not at all comparable in charm to those that have been laid out for many years.

The two things that Qi Xuan often carried in his hands also had an ancient taste.

One of them is a tiny pumpkin-shaped teapot.

This teapot was made by an unknown craftsman in the previous dynasty, although it was not famous, he only got it occasionally, but it was better than those made by famous craftsmen, and the shape of the vessel was more exquisite.

This teapot has been used in his hands for more than 20 years, and the whole body is as red as jade.

There is also a small jasper gourd.

The sound of the gourd is the same as Fulu, and it is popular in itself.

This jasper gourd itself is of average material, but I don't know what elixir is raised inside, but this jasper is also impregnated with peculiar medicinal properties, which makes people feel warm when they touch it, and there is a warm medicinal gas that continues to enter the blood, which can make people not infected with wind and cold at all.

This jasper gourd itself is an antiquity, and when it reaches his hand, it has been covered with thick pulp, and the surface is like a layer of oily crystal shell, but the color is not eye-catching, and it is extremely moist.

In the early morning of winter, Qi Xuan, the king of Tianyang, made a pot of good tea with this teapot directly in his courtyard, played with this gourd in his hand, and then ate some breakfast. Ordinary people don't want to eat breakfast in the open-air courtyard on this winter day, for fear of the wind and cold, but for him, with these two things to warm his body, winter is more comfortable than summer.

Summer is still too hot and sunny, and he has to hide in the shade of the house, but this winter is just a time for him to see strange and good scenery.

I just drank a pot of tea today, and the back of my head just flashed with some enthusiasm, and the old servant Shachi in the palace trotted over and said, "There are guests outside the palace who want to see you." ”

"What important guests don't wait for the host to finish breakfast?"

Looking at Sha Chi's panting but not anxious appearance, Qi Xuan snorted slowly and methodically, "What's wrong with you today, you have to divide this guest first, whether I want to see it or not." ”

The old servant bowed, but the corners of his mouth flowed with a somewhat deceitful smile, and said: "I think this guest is just average, you can't see it, but this guest has to say that you have to see him, and you will see him soon, I can't wait for you to finish eating this breakfast." ”

Qi Xuan didn't see the smile on his face, listening to these words, Qi Xuan was suddenly a little stunned, and his brows slowly furrowed, "Which guest is so arrogant?"

Sha Chi finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud, "Lord Wang, your son has always been quite arrogant. ”

"I'm this...."

Qi Xuan was stunned, and he jumped up in the next moment, "It's my rebel who came back?"

Although he said that he was a rebel, his heart was really happy at this time.

Although he didn't forcibly oppose Qi Zhuji and Lin Yi mixing together, but after Lin Yi became the master of the Sword Pavilion, he actually knew very well in his heart that this son of his was really holding a brazier and playing with fire at any time to set himself on fire.

As soon as the emperor's rebellion book came out, he felt that Lin Wangbei would soon have his turn, and if he was unlucky, he was afraid that he would never see this "rebel" again.

But I didn't expect that feng shui would soon take turns, and the direction of the wind suddenly changed, the emperor imprisoned himself in the Huxin Meditation Courtyard, and Lin Yi instantly became the male lord of the party, and he and the Chen family and Wei Rui became the triumvirate supporting the Southern Dynasty.

He guessed that Qi Zhuji would probably return to Jiankang soon, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Then what are you still doing here, and you don't welcome him in. Looking at the sand pool that was smiling and silent, Qi Xuan shouted: "Since this guest is so arrogant, it is not easy to make a living, by the way, ask him if he has used it earlier, if not, let someone prepare more and send it." ”

"Father. ”

Qi Zhuji appeared in front of him and saluted him seriously.

Qi Xuan looked at his son, feeling familiar and a little unfamiliar, he opened his mouth for a while, but he was a little speechless.

In addition to the fact that his complexion has become darker and his hair seems to have dried out, he feels that Qi Zhuji's appearance has not changed much from before, but the current Qi Zhuji does not have the delicate appearance of a rich son, and like those border generals, he really has some iron blood and calm temperament.

In other words, even in his own home, facing his father, the current Qi Zhuji has a murderous aura that is difficult to describe in words.

Of course, it's not that he is hostile to the people in this house, but he has been in the army for many years, and he is accompanied by swords and weapons, so this person can't be mellow.

"Something to eat together?"

Qi Xuan hesitated for a breath and clicked on the stone bench beside him.

"Good. ”

Qi Zhuji sat down, he began to eat, but at the same time said, "These days, no matter what others come to talk to you about, what they want to do with you, including asking you what to borrow, what convenience is for you, even if you are familiar with people again, you don't pay attention to and agree." ”

Qi Xuan watched his son sit down and eat heartily, and his mood relaxed slightly, but when he suddenly heard Qi Zhuji's words, his heartstrings instantly tensed again, and he frowned: "What does this mean, what do you want to do?"

"Moved someone else's job. Qi Zhuji took a piece of sweet cake and put it in his mouth, stretched out his chopsticks and knocked on the edge of the bowl in front of him, and with a crisp sound, he continued: "Even if this rice bowl is not actually theirs, they feel that this rice bowl has always been theirs, so they will naturally have to fight." ”

Qi Xuan was slightly stunned, and did not respond for a while.

"They will want to move our people, so we will take this opportunity to rectify these people in Jiankang. Qi Zhuji said sarcastically: "It's good to take this opportunity to teach them to know that even if the emperor doesn't call the shots, many things will not be their turn to decide, and if those who don't listen, they will only kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys and uproot them." ”

"You actually want to clean up Jiankang completely..."Qi Xuan looked at his son in disbelief, he couldn't imagine that his son had grown to such an extent.

"You have taught me since I was a child that when you take advantage of the situation, when you gain this kind of momentum, you will naturally have to be ruthless and simple. Qi Zhuji glanced at him, then looked at the sweet cake in the bowl, and said, "Just like this sweet cake, it won't taste good when it gets cold and hard." When the time comes, we need to hurry. You can rest assured, these people are really weak compared to our Tie Ce Army. ”
