Chapter 120 The Tao Is Ruthless But Sentimental (Plum Blossom Stuffed)
The mother and concubine left with hatred on her deathbed, and what she said was nothing but hate, after all, it was the father and emperor who betrayed the mother and concubine.

Even if the mother and concubine are alive and the emperor's brother is alive, the crown prince may not necessarily fall on the eldest son of the emperor, because the father and the emperor don't care about the background of the mother and concubine, a woman from Wuyue Jianghu.

"Master Chu, you left so resolutely, why did you come back?"

"Yeah, why did I come back?" He said sadly, "There is no Wuyue Sword School here, and the plum blossoms are not in good bloom. Maybe it's just thinking about that incense tomb."

Concubine Mei never entered the imperial temple cemetery after her death.

An abandoned concubine without a title was buried alone in the woods outside the royal cemetery. She was confined to the palace when she was born, but was forgotten in a corner after death.

The incense tomb that Chu Liubai mentioned was an empty tomb, some relics of Concubine Mei.

"Prince, Chu said from the bottom of his heart that your mother and concubine are innocent. Those crimes are all fabricated."

*
Recalling the past, Chu Liubai's face was in pain, but he couldn't shed a single tear, he just sobbed while guarding the long river opposite the bamboo forest.

Junior sister, I come every year, I just watch from afar, watching your child.

He concealed his name as Fan Li, watched Xiao Zijun recover from deafness, and deliberately walked in with him. He pretended not to know the identity of the young boy. He taught Xiao Yu swordsmanship and even promised to forge a good sword for him. Like a pair of friends who forget their age.

One day, the young Xiao Yu said to him: "Master Fan Li, since you want to forge a good sword for me, you might as well forge one for my second brother."

"Your second brother?" He drank his wine and couldn't help caring, "If he treats you well, I'll forge one for him too. There's no way for anyone else!"

Therefore, he devoted himself to forging two peerless king swords, namely Qixing and Yuanying.One to Xiao Zijun and one to Xiao Zizhan.

It was these two king swords that made the Emperor of Northern Qi pay attention to Zhujian Villa.

Jianjian Villa was seized for seven trumped-up charges including approaching the prince with ulterior motives and conspiracy to hijack him. Fan Li, the famous sword-casting master, also disappeared. Some people said he died on the sandbar.

On the bank of the river, the two stood there, looking at the rolling river.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Yu thanked Mr. Fan for enlightening my swordsmanship. Speaking of which, you are my former—" Xiao Zijun squinted his eyes slightly facing the sun, as if trying to find an appropriate word to describe this relationship, "Yes, a good teacher and helpful friend .”

Fan Li smiled lightly, "The prince is really humble. Your mother and concubine's swordsmanship is good, so you may not have inherited it." He looked at the river, turned around suddenly, and asked, "Xiao Yu, I heard that you married the princess. "

Xiao Zijun's expression suddenly froze.

After a long time, he said calmly, "It seems that Mr. Fan has just arrived in the capital. Xiao Yu has no concubine." He didn't say any more.

The two were silent, but it was Xiao Zijun who spoke.

"What happened to Mr. Fan's eyes?"

Fan Li was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he could see that he had been used to it for many years.

"Blind. I was besieged on the sandbar and injured by poisonous smoke."

"Did my father do it?"

"Wuyue Sword Sect was destroyed, is it related to Father Emperor?"

In the end he asked.The two fell silent again.

"Xiao Yu, I don't want you to know more about the grievances of the previous generation. Your father and I used to be close friends. Unfortunately, he is the emperor, and I am just a wandering swordsman."

"What about Xiao Wang and Mr. Fan?"

In the shoal by the river, under the afterglow of the setting sun, there are slender figures.

Xiao Zijun turned against the setting sun and looked over. Fan Li still had a wine pouch on his waist, "Sir, you can't leave your body with wine."

Fan Li smiled faintly, and handed over the wine bag. He reached out to take it, and frowned slightly, "Plum blossom wine?"

Pulled off the cork, took a sip, as cold as before, "Not bad, it still tastes the same."

The first time he drank alcohol when he was young was the plum blossom brewed in Zhujian Villa.

Fan Li smiled lightly, "It's rare for the prince to drink all the good wine and still remember the taste of plum blossom brew."

How could he not remember?Mr. Fan has plum blossom wine, and he has plum garden, all because of the same woman.

"The smell of wine is still the same, but it is not necessarily the same between people. With different identities and different positions, it is impossible for the prince and I to go back to the past. Fan Li wishes that the prince will realize his grand plan and great cause as soon as possible."

Xiao Zijuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly sneered, "Mr. Fan may not think highly of Xiao Wang."

"Why should your lord keep away from Fan? I'm afraid that even the emperor of Northern Qi has suspicions about you, King Jin. Your lord must be well aware of that."

"If Xiao Wang said that what I did was not for myself, would no one believe it?"

Fan Li sighed, "That's true. Because if you want to accomplish something, you will inevitably mobilize your whole body. You are a prince, and whether you fight or not, your fate is doomed. Just like Junior Mei, who chose your father , destined to be hurt by the endless court strife."

"My lord naturally understands the principle of sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."

Xiao Zijun was melancholy for a while, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked towards the river, and the words came lightly, "How long do you plan to stay this time, sir?"

"It won't be a few days. Maybe I'm gone this time. I don't know when I will see the prince. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the realization of the prince's ambition."

"Farewell, my lord."

Xiao Zijun looked at his back, green shirt and bamboo hat, like a reclusive expert, desolate all over and lonely and lonely all his life, unexpectedly felt indescribably sad in his heart.

"Sir, please stay."

"I don't know where the master is temporarily resting, so Xiao Wang can go to visit."

"No. I'm only staying for a few days."

"To be honest, sir, Mr. Wang Hua, the medicine who cured Xiao Wang's ear disease, has a very close relationship with me. You might as well let him heal your eye disease some other day. You have been kind to me as a teacher. How can Xiao Yu be helpless when he sees difficulties? ?”

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. After so many years, Fan has gotten used to it. You don't have to worry about it, my lord. Fan still has his disciples to take care of him, so he is doing well."

In this way, Xiao Zijun could only let him go.As the sun sets, the green shirt walking alone seems to have lost the swordsman demeanor it used to be, and it is clearly a strong man in his twilight years.

Wangfu.

In the dark night, King Jin came out of the plum garden.

In the study room, when Gao Ming was called in, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol on the prince.

"Gao Ming, does that Ming Cui have a move?"

"My subordinate...is under interrogation." That Ming Cui did not die, and the prince asked Mr. Hua to save her from frequent deaths.

With a "snap", the prince slapped the table angrily, his scarlet eyes seemed to eat people.

"No matter what the price is, I want her to spit it out!"

"Subordinates must do their best!"

The prince stood up and swayed, obviously drunk.

Gao Ming wanted to step forward to help him, but the prince blocked him at once, "Go away!"

At this point, Fuquan at the door also winked at Gao Ming, and Gao Ming quickly backed out.

Fuquan hissed at him, and after leaving the porch, Fuquan said: "My lord has been in a bad mood since he came back from outside. Don't bother me."
