, the fireworks are bright in the night, and the lights in the world are like stars. Cars and horses are passing by, and pedestrians are wearing clothes stacked on top of each other. The two rode horses and ran wildly at night, leaving Chang'an through Mingde Gate. Cross the Jie River first, and then cross the Piao River.

Under the moonlight, the wind blew the fox fur on Pei Jiaoran's body. Horse hooves disturbed the silence, and the frightened bird flew up and landed in another tree. He loosened the reins and let the horse move forward on its own.

From time to time, the sound of horse hooves, carried by the biting wind, could be heard in my ears. Both sides are chasing each other. Pei Jiaoran had a slight smile on his face.

It had been a long time since she had been like this, so indulgent. Now, under this night, it is a good thing to be able to get rid of the sinister plot for a short time.

Running non-stop, the group climbed up Zhongnan Mountain through the night.

Zhongnan Mountain is covered with thick snow in winter. The two got off their horses and walked on the snow. The moon fell on the snow at night, reflecting a pure white appearance. The two walked to Pei Zhanran's house, and the door was locked. The house was dark except for a few lanterns hanging on the porch.

"Turn it in." Pei Jiaoran said.

The two of them climbed over the fence quickly. It was quiet inside the house, with only the gentle warmth of the lanterns on the porch.

After entering the house, Li Xiujing lit the lamp. Looking at Pei Jiaoran standing under the lamp, "How about we go take a bath? I remember there is a hot spring nearby."

"Why are you going to the bath at this time?" Pei Jiaoran untied his fox fur and said slowly.

"After traveling for so long, I'm covered in sweat. Shouldn't I take a shower?" Li Xiujing took off his armband and looked around the house, "You take a rest for a while. I'll go and clean up the house. "

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said nothing. He followed Li Xiujing to the guest house and watched him open the door and go in. He took out the bedding from the cupboard and spread it on the rush mat.

After looking at it for a while and feeling bored, Pei Jiaoran turned around and walked towards the kitchen. He stopped under the plum tree in front of the door, took a piece of pure Jun and dug soil under the tree. A tightly sealed clay altar appeared in front of me.

He knelt down and took out the clay altar, and the rich aroma of wine hit his face.

"How did you know there was wine buried here?" Li Xiujing's voice came from behind.

"Brother, you can hide it." Pei Jiaoran held the sword in one hand and the wine jar in the other. "When brother comes back, I'm afraid he'll call me a thief. Let's go take a bath before he comes back."

Li Xiujing smiled after listening to Pei Jiaoran's words. He took the wine, held her hand, and left with her.

The night is quiet and the stars hang upside down. Pei Jiaoran looked at the starry sky spread over the spring. The mist on the spring was so thick that it made people's faces turn red. Pei Jiaoran took off his outer clothes and sat by the water wrapped in his middle coat.

Bare feet, white feet gently playing with the water. Li Xiujing had just entered the water and was still adjusting to the water temperature with her eyes closed. Caught off guard, a handful of water was poured on him, and he opened his eyes to look.

I happened to see a pair of snow-white feet, which were kicking in the water as if they were no one. Li Xiujing was stunned for a moment, and the scene from two years ago came to mind.

He left the rear to her, and after she guarded Guazhou for him, she traveled thousands of miles to find him. He took her hand, and she told him that although his hand was warm, it was not what she needed. During the day, the two met again by the water, and she kicked the water with her bare feet. Very similar to the current scene.

She was like snow gathering in the moon, and he looked at her like she was falling into a sea of ​​smoke.

Holding Pei Jiaoran's ankle, Li Xiujing pulled her into the spring and held her tightly.

The pool was not too deep and just reached her chest. Pei Jiaoran raised his head to meet Li Xiujing's gaze, gently rubbing his feet along the line of his calf. Suddenly he stepped heavily on his instep.

Li Xiujing smiled and said, "Don't make trouble."

The tip of his lips raised, Pei Jiaoran looked frivolous. He stretched out his wet arms and pointed his slender fingers on his Adam's apple.

"I have already made arrangements for General Chen." Pei Jiaoran's smile deepened, "You can send him a message."

"it is good."

His fingers slid along his Adam's apple to his collar, and the smile on Pei Jiaoran's face deepened. However, Li Xiujing held her hand at this moment and pressed it against his heart.

The sound of a powerful heartbeat spread along the fingertips. Pei Jiaoran smiled.

Dots of light flew up from the grass, surrounding the spring pool, flying up and down.

"This firefly is really good at picking places." Pei Jiaoran broke free from his restraints and grabbed two wine glasses. He opened the wine jar and poured two cups of wine, "Let's try the wine brewed by my brother."

As he spoke, Pei Jiaoran placed the two wine cups on the wooden tray, and the wooden tray floated in front of him along the water.

Under Pei Jiaoran's gaze, Li Xiujing took a sip of wine. There is no burning sensation when this wine enters the throat. Instead, it is quite sweet with a unique sourness from plums.

"This is green plum wine from the south. Is it delicious?" Pei Jiaoran asked with a smile as he drank from the cup.

"It tastes good." Li Xiujing nodded.

Like her, just one sip will make you intoxicated.

"Jiajia, how about I catch fireflies for you?" Li Xiujing asked with a smile, watching Pei Jiaoran leaning on the shore.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Okay."

Li Xiujing got up and went to the shore to catch fireflies. The little bug with the lamp on it just flew up from the grass and fell into the darkness. Not long after, all the star lanterns that were floating in front of his eyes just now fell into Li Xiujing's arms.

The broken pieces fell quietly, melting in the heat before they even got close.

Li Xiujing held the dim light, leaned down in front of Pei Jiaoran, and let go. The faint light flew out from his robe and danced in front of her eyes.

"It suits me very well." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

After taking a sip of wine, Pei Jiaoran waved to Li Xiujing. motioning for him to come closer.

While Li Xiujing knelt down, Pei Jiaoran put her arms around his neck, raised her head and kissed him. The sweetness of the fruit wine wrapped around the aggressive kiss, prying open his lips and teeth, and took the sip of wine hidden in her mouth.

"Jiajia, you..." Li Xiujing muttered.

Before Li Xiujing had enough time, Pei Jiaoran let go of him and said, "Are you still soaking? It's snowing, it's time to go."

After saying that, Pei Jiaoran quickly got up and wrapped himself in a quick robe. Standing on the shore, he looked down at Li Xiujing who was still in the water.

Under Pei Jiaoran's gaze, Li Xiujing stepped ashore. After putting on his clothes, he looked at her and picked her up. He freed up the wooden box with clothes in his hand and left the spring pool to go to the house.

When the two came back, the lights in the small courtyard were not yet on. Apparently the owner hasn't returned yet.

After climbing over the fence with ease, Li Xiujing reached out and brought Pei Jiaoran in. The two of them touched in gently.

Light a candle.

"Do you want to wait for brother to come back to watch the New Year together?" Li Xiujing asked.

When asked, Pei Jiaoran blinked, "Wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to watch the New Year together?"

You and I ask each other. In the end, the two of them stayed together under the plum tree, waiting for Pei Zhanran to come back.

Sitting on the floor, there were two jars of wine placed on the small table in front of him.

"Three-star photos, five leaders, six and six smooth." Pei Jiaoran squinted his eyes like a cat, clearly showing a lazy attitude. But the punching action was unambiguous, "Hee hee, I win. Tell me why you ran away from home. If you don't tell me, you will have to drink three drinks as a penalty."

Li Xiujing looked at her and said, "Didn't I tell you that I told you? I want to make great achievements and leave my name in history."

"Hmm. His name will remain in history..." Pei Jiaoran smiled. She remembered that Li Xiujing in her previous life, at least when she was alive, had not fought many battles.

After thinking for a while, the two started a new round of punching. This time Li Xiujing defeated her.

"Jiajia, who is your family? They raised you so well."

"My family's ancestral motto states that both men and women have to travel far away from home after the age of fifteen. So until I was eighteen, I traveled all over the country, including the desert in southern Yunnan." Pei Jiaoran's peach blossom eyes were filled with mist, " I went to a women's school to be a master, worked as an escort with an escort master, and worked as a nurse in other people's homes. Shouldn't I be so good?" After a pause, she continued: "Brother, he also has to travel far away from home. We One of them is going north, and the other is going south."

After one round of punching, Pei Jiaoran approached Li Xiujing and said, "Jiu Lian Lian, Man Tang Hong, it's my turn again! Tell me, what do you do in the military camp?"

"Arrange your troops in formation."

"Oh, that's not what I want to ask." Pei Jiaoran glared at him.

Li Xiujing looked embarrassed when he came over. Put it against her ear and spit out a few words. From the corner of his eye, he caught a look on her face that I knew was there, and her eyes darkened, "If Jiajia is always by my side, I naturally won't have any use for it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was undoubtedly kicked by Pei Jiaoran.

Holding her waist, Li Xiujing frowned, "Come again!"

"Come here." Pei Jiaoran rolled up his sleeves and stepped on the table, "Xuan Yin, don't lose everything."
