In the palace of Qijing, on the square outside the court, there was a long line of gifts pulled by cars and horses, all of which were dowry gifts from the Huyan family.

The emperor and empress appeared together, and circled around the long limousine, Hao Yuntu smiled, and he could see that he was very happy and satisfied.

After reading the gift list in her hand, the queen frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, there is a sentence that concubines don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Say what you want, don't force it if you don't want to say it. Hao Yuntu reached out and patted the box on a carriage.

But the queen still said, "The Huyan family is a little rude." ”

Bu Xun, who was accompanying her, couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at her.

Haoyuntu was slightly stunned, turned around and asked, "How do you say it?"

The queen held the gift slip and said: "It's not that the concubines think this gift is light, it's just that our daughter is the eldest princess, and she is married to their Huyan family, but the concubines of this gift list take a closer look, it seems that there are a lot of things, but in fact, there are nothing valuable, I'm afraid it is not as good as the dowry of some big families." The concubines are not greedy for money, but the Huyan family doesn't even want to make a show?

"You think too much, the Huyan family knows better than you, and it really doesn't necessarily compare to the average big family. Haoyuntu said, but he still reached out and took the gift list and came over to take a look, it was because he knew the family background of the Huyan family, so he wanted to see the sincerity of the Huyan family.

His eyes moved on the name of the gift list, and he paused on the inconspicuous last item, bowed his head slightly, pointed and asked, "Queen, do you know the origin of this knife?"

The queen stretched out her head and looked, "Isn't the Chaoyang knife a salute knife that comes with the military general's family?"

"Woman's opinion, how can this knife be compared to the dowry of a big family in your eyes?" Hao Yuntu waved his hand at the palace, "This knife is enough to reach the entire palace of the widow!"

"......" the queen was shocked.

Haoyuntu: "Step Xun, the knife is coming!"

"Yes!" Bu Xun turned and walked away.

Soon, the two eunuchs brought a long knife, and there were many scratches on the knife, looking at the inconspicuous long knife, and the red silk flowers tied on it proved that it was indeed a dowry!

Haoyuntu grabbed the knife with one hand, and the big knife tail ingot was pestled on the ground, stretched out his hand and touched the traces on the knife, and said slowly: "Back then, Huyan Wuxian was just a young general of the border army who led 3,000 people, and it happened that the Jin State suddenly invaded and attacked across the sea, and the border army was in a hurry, and the reinforcements of his country could not arrive in time for a while. Huyan used a trick to lure out most of the guards around the enemy commander, and then dug a river to lift up the water to crush the enemy army in one fell swoop, and took advantage of the enemy's retreat, with the cooperation of a number of monks, personally led a thousand cavalry to pursue dozens of miles, rushed into the enemy's tens of thousands of tired remnants, and personally beheaded the enemy commander, Tian Zixin, the general of the Jin State!

With a wave of the long knife, the blade was horizontal in front of the queen, and the frightened queen hurriedly took a few steps back.

"It was this knife that cut off Tian Zixin's head! Huyan became famous in a war, the first emperor personally summoned him, personally asked for the knife in his hand, danced the knife in front of hundreds of thousands of troops, and praised it, this is the treasure knife of the town! And issued a heavy reward on the spot, and ordered Huyan to form a small cavalry army without hatred, and this is how today's Xiao cavalry army came! Queen, for me to charge into battle, block foreign enemies, and kill the enemy chieftain, how can the treasure knife of those big families be compared? Without this knife, how many big families would have been ruined? The dowry of 10,000 big families can't be compared! This is the heirloom of the Huyan family, and even the heirloom has been taken out as a dowry, this is the real sincerity, are you still too light?"

The queen really didn't know the details for a while, and suddenly said embarrassedly: "What Your Majesty said is that the concubine's eyelids are shallow!"

Standing in front of the sword, looking at the big knife in front of him, Haoyuntu asked: "Bu Xun, how can the general not have a knife?"

Bu Xun was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what he meant, and he didn't know how to reply, waiting for him to talk later.

Haoyuntu glanced at him, "The general takes the Zhenguo treasure knife as a dowry gift, and the widow should have a reward! Gather skilled craftsmen, and the widow wants to create the world's first treasure knife to give to the general, and the monarch and the minister will never lose each other!"

"Yes!" Bu Xun responded, and also took the big knife handed by the other party, and turned it to the eunuch behind him, so that he could put it away.

When leaving the bridal convoy, the queen asked again: "Your Majesty, you should take the time to go and see Qingqing, there is a lot of trouble, and the concubines can't persuade them!"

Haoyuntu: "Then continue to persuade, the widow has even accepted the dowry of the Huyan family, and there is no repentance." There are some things that can allow her to mess around, and some things that can't be done for her, and the widow doesn't want to make any jokes on the wedding day! Queen, you are in charge of the harem, and you must do your best. To enjoy the blessings of the queen is to bear the responsibilities and obligations of the queen, if you are not willing to bear this responsibility, you can tell the widow!"

This understatement made the queen tremble in her heart, and said with a far-fetched smile: "The concubine knows, and she will not disappoint Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, the widow still has something to do, and the specific matters of the marriage are to be discussed. Haoyuntu threw down the words and left.

Bu Xun owed a debt to the queen and left with him.

On the way, a burly eunuch appeared and waited at a certain intersection, it was the eunuch who arrested Linghu Qiu in the first place.

Bu Xun paused for a while, listened to him whisper for a while, and then replied with a few words of advice, and then left, and quickly caught up with Haoyuntu again, and reported to the side: "Your Majesty, Niu Youdao did not follow the order to return to Beijing, but ran away, and now he should leave the Qi country." ”

Haoyuntu was stunned, stopped and turned around, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bu Xun smiled bitterly: "A point in the west pasture, the people at the school desk stopped Niu Youdao, he was fine at first, who thought that as soon as it was dark, he suddenly burned the ranch with a fire, and took advantage of the chaos created to slip away overnight, and his whereabouts are unknown." ”

The corners of Haoyuntu's mouth twitched, Niu Youdao ran away is a trivial matter, he promised Mr. Yucang that the matter was not done, and it was a little embarrassing, although the other party may not pursue anything. But it's still a little strange: "Ran away with the war horse?"

Here is an order for Niu Youdao, and he knows that it is unreasonable to call a foreign monk to drink, and let him come back, he is also relied on, Niu Youdao is here to rush to the war horse, as long as Niu Youdao's war horse is detained, Niu Youdao will naturally have to be obedient.

Bu Xun is also a little strange: "He doesn't seem to have paid attention to the matter of war horses at all, and there has been no other large loss of horses in pastures around the country recently. ”

Haoyuntu: "Didn't he come to the war horse?"

Bu Xun: "It stands to reason that it should be a war horse." As it stands, there are only two possibilities. Either he had quietly and secretly prepared a batch of war horses, but it was difficult to hide the feeding of such a large number of war horses during the reserve period, and thousands of horses could not be managed by a small piece of grass, and they needed to graze in a large area. If he secretly hoarded a large amount of forage, unless he had been preparing it for a long time, it would be difficult for him to suddenly hoard it without being noticed. There is another possibility, that is, he hid, did not leave at all, and was still preparing for the war horse. ”

Haoyuntu: "What is he running?"

Bu Xun: "His recent behavior is a bit strange, contact Linghu Qiu Xiaoyue Pavilion's identity, I don't know if it will be related to Xiaoyue Pavilion? What is Ling Huqiu's intention to stay by Niu Youdao's side? Ling Huqiu should know something, and Ling Huqiu didn't see Niu Youdao alive or dead and refused to speak, and the old slave considered whether to use his own bitter god pill on him. ”

Speaking of Xiaoyue Pavilion, Haoyun Tu asked, "Do those disciples of the three major sects who were killed have eyebrows?"

Bu Xun: "It's still like that, only the corpses and relics were found, all of them were wiped out, and they didn't even let go of the accompanying golden wings, and no one knows what happened." Fifteen disciples don't say anything, just three birds died violently, and the three major factions suffered a lot of losses!"

Starry night sea, ships forge ahead in the waves.

Guan Fangyi knocked on Niu Youdao's guest room, and when she entered, Niu Youdao was standing in front of the window looking at the sea, and on the couch on the side, the body of the black peony was still lying quietly.

There were some things that Guan Fangyi didn't know whether to say or not, but it had been a few days, and she still decided to remind them.

"Dao Ye!" Guan Fangyi teased playfully, she rarely called him Dao Ye seriously.

Niu Youdao didn't look back and asked, "What's the matter, say!"

Standing in front of the body and looking at it, Guan Fangyi sighed: "I said that Master, about the peony girl, I know you are very sad..."

Niu Youdao interrupted, "What am I sad about?"

Guan Fangyi: "Aren't you sad? Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, all have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and no one laughs at you when you say you are sad." ”

Niu Youdao shook his head: "The rivers and lakes are walking, whether it is the wind or the rain, I have seen a lot of things about life and death, I have long been used to it, I am not sad, it is meaningless to be sad, if I have to say sad, maybe I am sad." ”

"Okay, let's not discuss the question of whether it is sad or not, but this time the road in Qingshan County is too far, and I don't know how long I will float on the sea, and it is not a way for the peony girl to keep it like this. ”

"What do you want to say?"

"The peony girl also said before she died, it's good to float on the sea, she also likes it, do you think about satisfying her wishes, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to take the blue sea as a destination. ”

She said it more tactfully, in fact, she just asked Niu Youdao to bury the black peony in the sea, some things have to face reality, such a long distance, the corpse will be like that, how disgusting it will be when the time comes, it won't sound good to put it bluntly.

Niu Youdao turned around, walked to the couch, stared at the quiet appearance of the black peony, and said calmly: "You are wrong, she doesn't like to float on the sea, she has been floating almost all her life, after following me, she finally has a home to settle down, Qingshan County is her home!

Guan Fangyi stared at him and bit her lip, the other party said to this point, she was powerless to say anything, she couldn't say a word.

Finally bowed his head and left.

And Niu Youdao sat on the couch, and gently pressed one palm on the chest of the black peony......
