The cold wind blew, and a few flakes of snow broke down on the trees, and the flying snow fell on the shoulders of the young master. The young master's Zhilan Yu tree stood by the river.
Fireworks suddenly burst out in the sky. Song raised his head and glanced, his eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, but when he turned his head, the hesitation and tenderness had long since disappeared.
Tu Shanling covered his hands and said: "Sir, in a few days, our troops will come to Jingguo again. When you go back with us, Jingguo will be exhausted and will be eaten by everyone in the world. , Qingqiu is not kind."
Song turned his head and looked at Ling:
"I promise to go back to Qingqiu with you, but I will only visit relatives and not participate in power disputes."
Ling lowered his head and bowed again: "It all depends on the young master. But Ling has to remind the young master that the Yue Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom in the south are already approaching the city."
Song did not speak, clenching his fists , fully aware that some things cannot be changed by humans. All we can do is plan for the next thing.
It’s night, in Yongshou Palace.
Fireworks bloomed in the distance, and Liu Zhang walked out of the hall with heavy steps. His sunken eye sockets were glowing with a faint cyan color, and the broken hair fell from his forehead. It was obviously caused by a sleepless day and night. The haggardness of the young general.
Emperor Jing’s words were still echoing in his ears.
How could he stand still when Jingguo was in trouble? Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.
He looked up to the sky, and snowflakes fell, falling on his cheeks and on his pursed lips.
In this battle, he didn’t know whether he could come back alive.
Fortunately, the war is scheduled for later in the year, so he still has some time to deal with matters at home.
Thinking about this, he walked towards Prince Yi's Mansion with heavy steps.
The young man waiting at the palace gate early in the morning saw his master coming out, and hurriedly went up to greet him. He got a new hand stove and a warm crane cloak, and hurriedly handed them over.
Liu Zhang's eyes were lifeless, but he was like a walking corpse, walking between heaven and earth. He had been planning for many years, but the vast expanse of white between heaven and earth had separated him from his life.
The young man saw that his young master looked wrong and did not dare to ask any more questions. He just rubbed his hands and said with a smile:
"Sir, your general's mansion has been repaired. I have taken photos of you a few days ago. He ordered a lot of decorations to be added, and the zoo was also built, with one large and one small. The big one was farther away, leading directly to the zoo outside the city, the small one was closer, and the three smaller ones were closer. You can put everything in the high cage, both in the sky and on the ground."
Liu Zhang ignored it and still walked hard step by step. The young man was confused. The young master was very excited a few days ago. I gave him the drawings I had drawn on the battlefield for half a year and asked him to renovate the general's mansion according to the drawings. Why did he seem to have lost all interest today.
The young man said again: "Young master, there is another good news!"
Seeing that Liu Zhang did not answer, the young man leaned down and said, "Princess secretly tested your majesty a few days ago, and gave her and Tu Mr. Shan tried to organize the wedding ceremony again, but His Majesty refused. "
Hearing this, Liu Zhang's footsteps started. He finally stopped, but only said one sentence coldly:
"It's none of our business to be a couple."
The wind blew through the cold night, and Liu Zhang rode away alone. In Jingcheng, the attendants had been dismissed by him long ago. Now it was cold in the city, but it could not relieve the slightest worry in his chest.
Years of fighting and fighting have already worn away the spirit of his youth. Although he knew that the women in the city would prefer pure and elegant scholars, he was used to holding a sword, even if he picked up a scholar's fan. But barely.
Although many times, he prefers to force himself.
He walked slowly to the princess's house, and suddenly remembered many times that he had been wronged at home, or felt homesick in the army, so he leaned against the wall, recalling the feeling of leaning against the wall when he was a child, and fantasizing about himself There is something to rely on behind.
On that day, he couldn't help but miss him, and he was even more afraid that he would never come back from this battle, so he broke a taboo and secretly ran back to the princess's house.
Liu Zhang jumped off his horse and walked to a large tree covered with frost and snow outside the wall. He held the trunk of the tree with one hand, turned over and jumped onto the fork of the tree.
He took out the piccolo from his arms and recalled the scene when he bumped into Xin Yi and Xiao Cong outside the wall that day.
Although it obviously happened not long ago, it feels like a lifetime ago. Others say that he has become more mature and steady after the battle with Yue Kingdom.
But in fact, he hasn't changed, he just learned to hide.
He has not changed. Even if he knows that she is fooling around sometimes, he will never stop her or question her. He has not changed. When he knows that she is in danger and knows that she has been wronged, he wishes he could To execute that person on the spot would be the cruelest punishment in the world. Even if he gave everything he had, he would still protect her.
But he learned to hide. He couldn't bear to see others being kind to her, thinking in his heart that as long as she was happy, he would not kill that person, but just protect her.
After playing the piccolo for a while, Liu Zhang glanced at the princess mansion with a longing, his eyes gradually became moist - we had to say goodbye eventually, so why worry about it.
He jumped down from the tree.
Early the next morning, Lu Xinyi, who never got up early, crawled out of bed for the first time.
Nasen's letter must be found as soon as possible, otherwise, the longer it takes, the more risk her identity will be exposed.
She hurriedly put on her shoes and washed herself briefly. When she opened the door, she almost ran into Nasen who was coming towards her.
He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, but never knocked on the door. Xin Yi suddenly opened the door, and he was startled, but he immediately adjusted himself, imitated Jing Guo's etiquette, and bowed his hand to Xin Yi.
It’s just that his posture was not very skillful, and his whole person looked a bit funny. Lu Xinyi looked embarrassed, but he didn’t dare to neglect and hurriedly returned the greeting. "Niao Niao, where are you going?"
"Ah...I..." Lu Xinyi didn't know where to start, but she saw Li Shubai coming from the end of the corridor, holding one hand There was a bag of new pastries in the bag. He liked sweet things, and now he even ate and took them without ceremony.
“Sister, why don’t you go have breakfast?”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xinyi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said straightly: "I'm going to have breakfast. Master Jinlun, will you come with me?"
Nasen raised his eyebrows with joy: "It's an honor. ! Let’s go!”
The two immediately went downstairs side by side, but after taking two steps, Nasen stopped and looked back at the room.
"What's wrong?"
"No...nothing." Nasen smiled, but the joy in his eyes could not be hidden. On this day, he specially changed into a beautiful robe, Different from the coarse cloth jacket he wore in the past, his gestures and gestures are more like a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Shubai was carrying the pastry, and when he passed by the two of them, he stood respectfully aside, but looked at their backs with a meaningful look, and said to himself:
"Master, you are in danger."
Today's meal was still sumptuous. Nasen made fried rice for Xin Yi and got some dry goods. The two of them dipped in milk tea and ate it, making their bodies warm.
Lu Xinyi stuffed milk tofu into his mouth. This small, thin piece had a grainy texture and a hint of sweetness: "Jinlun, when it comes to food, in This twelfth lunar month in the cold winter still belongs to your moon kingdom. "
Nasen sat cross-legged on the kang. In order to enjoy himself, he specially booked a large kang room from the store. Even the decoration imitated the Moon Country. If he hadn't been so clear-headed, he would have thought he was entering. The boundary of the Moon Kingdom.
He used a knife to cut off a piece of meat from the lamb leg and handed it to Xin Yi: "Try this freshly roasted lamb leg. You don't need to eat more. Just take another sip of kumiss and you will be able to beat the living gods!"
< br>As soon as I ate Xinyi, sure enough, the meat was delicious, smooth and tender, as if it was in my teeth. The massage stimulates every taste bud. Such dense meat can only be tasted occasionally in this restaurant. Then take a sip of the kumiss that Nasen brought from the Moon Country. The warmth just now is now coupled with the refreshing wine. Fragrant and milky, it lingers on the tip of the nose and has a different flavor.
Xin Yi closed his eyes and shook his head unconsciously: "I have long heard that the people of the Yue Kingdom are very strong, but today I know why!"
Nasen smiled and said He poured himself a large bowl and drank it. He put the silver bowl on the table and leaned closer and said, "But... my kumiss is not for nothing." "
Lu Xinyi closed his eyes and took another piece of milk tofu and put it in his mouth: "I know, but I am your Chinese teacher, you can't restrict my freedom. You can come when you want, and when you think it’s inappropriate, you can come when it’s inappropriate. Are you willing?”
Nasen chuckled twice and poured two more bowls of wine: "What's so difficult about this?"
After that, he raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Xin Yi also got excited about drinking and picked up the wine bowl. Na Sen poured himself another bowl. The two touched each other and drank.
For a time, the box was full of joy.
On this side, Xiao Cong was hiding alone in the forest room, scratching his head and ears at several letters from Yue Guo.
Although she had brought tissue paper for writing letters in advance, the painting was too complicated, with some lines thick and some thin. For a while, she really couldn't finish it.
After being busy for most of the morning, she traced the remaining letters. After putting the letters back intact, she quietly opened the door and fled.
In order to make Chinese learning more contextual, Lu Xinyi and Nasen came to the street. Along the way, Nasen not only asked how to say it, but also what the words on the plaque were. , on one street alone, he asked dozens of questions. Xin Yi was tired from his questions, and the two came to a tea stall to drink a cup of tea to warm themselves up.
Just as the tea was served, I heard a man behind me saying:
"Have you heard that the fear beast has appeared again! A few days ago, I heard that an old man was in the restaurant with... Bought by a young master from a noble family."
A man next to him said: "Young Master from a noble family? Who else could it be?"
Lu Xinyi drank hot tea, but listened with open ears.
“Don’t tell me, I used to think that that guy from the Yi Wang family was just a straw bag, but he is the only one who can defeat the Yue Kingdom army at the border. He is such a bloody man. He made me a captain. I am convinced. Take it orally!”
“Don’t interrupt,” the man at the beginning said, “You must not know about the beast-fearing one. Origin!"
"What's the origin?"
A bowl of tea fell on the table, and the man deliberately lowered his voice: "That fearful beast was born not far from Qingqiu, but it is said that It can avoid war for the master, and at critical moments, it can also revive the dead and leave a breath of life!"
"It is natural for people to be greedy for life and fear death. It is reasonable for Mr. Liu Zhang to buy a small thing that can extend his life."
The other two nodded one after another, Xin Yi secretly said: In the outline of the first draft, Liu Zhang finally decided Even if he died in battle, if he could buy himself a feared beast alive, it would be considered a good ending.
While drinking another stick of incense, Nasen stared at the honeysuckle floating in the bowl in a daze. The little flower was spinning back and forth in circles. He couldn't help but curiously said:
"Teacher...this , what kind of flower is it?”
“Honeysuckle.”
"Eh!" As soon as he finished speaking, an old man who had just walked by turned his head suddenly, thinking that someone was calling him, but unexpectedly, Xin Yi and Xin Yi met each other's eyes and looked at each other. After a while, the two realized that they had made a mistake, and they started talking to each other. He nodded awkwardly and went back to doing their own things.
