Changqing Ci

Once upon a time, she believed such words, and when she looked back, there was no one there, and her heart was empty.

With a splitting headache, she shook her body, held her forehead in panic, looked calmly at Xu Ke, head of Lingyun, closed her eyes and opened them again, her eyes were still as clear as water, and her voice was as light as a flowing spring: " Master, Chang Qing is still young, I am responsible for whatever I do, don’t worry, she will not endanger Ling Yun, I just look at her, just one thing, I will not break ties with her, how to choose, I understand.”

Ziying Pavilion, which has been quiet for many years, suddenly had a strong wind, and the leaves fell all over the ground. Wei Lingci was standing under the peach tree in a white gauze dress. The clean temperament did not match the courtyard full of fallen leaves. It was a plum tree, but Xun Changqing didn't like it, so he changed it.

In fact, she didn't like it either.But she is different from Changqing, she doesn't like every part of Lingyun Mountain, and even has a slight disgust.Looking around at the castles and pavilions in the green hills, I can't help but linger on my brows, this place doesn't belong to her, nor does it belong to Xunchang Qiqing, they are all passers-by.

"Master," a crisp voice mingled with the sound of footsteps, Wei Lingci closed his eyes, his eyebrows curved into a smile, and the thin ice in his eyes melted away. In Xun Changqing's eyes, it was an unusual wind Yiziya, Yingying said: "Zhao Yang never invited you to the kitchen for dinner?"

Zhao Yang is a full-fledged foodie, he is indispensable wherever there is food, but these years he has become taller and a little thinner, not as chubby as when he was ten years old, but he is still a bit fat compared to ordinary people.

"No, other disciples invited him to dinner. I went to the kitchen to bring dinner back, so as not to have to go again later," Xun Changqing said, holding the food box in his hand high in front of Wei Lingci's eyes.

With such a cheerful appearance, it didn't seem like a fake. Wei Lingci took the food box in her hand, rested his fingertips on the back of her hand for a while, and said casually: "Have you seen Zi Jin when you go to the kitchen?"

"No," Xun Changqing was a little frustrated. The man followed her all the way, causing her to dare not talk to Zijin when she entered the kitchen. She raised her head to touch Wei Lingci's always gentle eyes, and said bluntly, "Master, there are people who always follow you." I."

track!The food box in Wei Lingci's hand tightened suddenly, and the lowered eyes suddenly lifted up, "When? How long?"

"It should be today. I didn't realize it yesterday. Master, who do you think is so boring, why are you staring at me?"

Wei Lingci placed the food box on the table, his dark eyes gradually shone brightly, his heart agitated, but his face didn't show it, and he said lightly, "Maybe it's just a disciple in the mountain who wants to play tricks on you. Get up tomorrow!" Be careful on the road in the Literature Hall, don't talk to students you don't know well, and don't talk to your maid in the kitchen, so as not to arouse suspicion."

"Doubt?" Xun Changqing became more and more confused, and his hands holding the chopsticks tightened, but Wei Lingci's expression was indifferent, and there was nothing unusual. Xu Zhen, a disciple of Lingyun Mountain, made fun of her.What Wei Ling said was also reasonable, and other disciples found out that Zijin belonged to her, which caused a lot of trouble for no reason.

The two stopped talking. Wei Lingci looked sideways at the person who was eating with his head down. His mouth was tasteless, and after a long silence, he called out, "Changqing."

Although Wei Lingci's temperament is unpredictable, but Changqing has become clearer in recent years, and now he calls her suddenly, afraid that there is something to say, she raises her eyes, waiting to say something.

"Did you mention formations in the teaching of the Literature Hall?"

In the Lingyun Sect, there are many disciples, and the mountain is only a part of them. Although the disciples in the house and the nominal disciples have different treatment, but the knowledge of literature is the same, and the martial arts are taught by the masters themselves.

All the disciples who entered the mountain came to learn martial arts, and few people would deliberately learn literature knowledge. After all, they were not going to take the imperial examination, so it was useless.But the masters of the Mountain Literature School are famous teachers invited from all over the world, and the courses are not only boring, but also very boring.A group of disciples, when they are in the classroom, their hearts have already flown to the sky.

Xun Changqing still remembers the knowledge he learned in his previous life, and he listened to it in class, trying his best not to make mistakes in his studies.But the formation didn't seem to be mentioned, she didn't remember it, Wei Lingci never asked her these things, how did it arise today.

When he came back in the evening, he was already half an hour late for the appointed time. If he was scolded again, he might really have to go out and stand overnight.After thinking about it seriously, he shook his head: "No."

The formation on the mountain was never mentioned by the master of the Literature Hall. She just saw it in the books in the Wenyuan Pavilion on the mountain, but it was just superficial. I am afraid that if you want to go down the mountain, the superficial knowledge alone is not enough of.

Wei Lingci took the fish with his chopsticks and sent it to her bowl, and said lightly, "If you don't have any, forget it, do you want to learn?"

In autumn, all the fish in the farm ponds will be salvaged, and some seedlings will be put in next spring. The kitchen has received some crucian carp from the farm, but there are too many people, and the whole carp is braised in brown sauce before being made into soup.

The umami taste is a little less, but still acceptable.Xun Changqing liked to be picky about food in his previous life, but he was hungry for a long time in the sky prison and couldn't eat enough. Now as long as he can eat, he is no longer picky.

Learn formation?Xun Changqing picked up the fish with his chopsticks and put it down again, puzzled: "Formation, what kind do you mean?"

"The formation can be all-encompassing. It's a mirage. There are depths and shallows. What do you want to learn?"

Xun Changqing wondered, "Master knows it?"

Wei Lingci raised his eyes to look at her, and saw that her peach blossom eyes were wide open, their eyes were clear and full of admiration, and he pursed his lips. She, who has always been unhappy with her appearance, was still calm and charming, but her complexion was rare. Red three points, whispered: "I can't do it as a teacher."

The Wei family can be regarded as a scholarly family, the ancestors were the late emperor's husband, she was quick-witted, well-read poetry and books, although she never learned martial arts, but she also mastered formations well, she is a rare talented woman.It's a pity that when Wei Xiao came here, although he was good at writing, these formations were not involved.

As Xun Changqing expected, she curled her lips and ate the fish in the bowl without speaking.

"What I'm talking about is formation in the mountains. If you want to learn how to arrange troops on the battlefield, you have to ask your father."

In this way, there is still a turning point. What Xun Chang is thinking about is the formation in the mountain. The easiest way is to go in and out of the gate, but at that time, I am afraid that the gate will not be able to go out, only the back mountain.

Zijin has tried it before, and the formation on the back mountain is weird and unpredictable, with steep cliffs, and a little carelessness is a dead end. Although those with high martial arts have an advantage, once they touch the mechanism and attract people from the mountain, they will be caught without a fight .

Furthermore, it is useless for her to learn the battle formation at this time, she must run for her life first.She smiled and rubbed towards Wei Lingci's side, followed the same pattern, and put a piece of fish in Wei Lingci's bowl graciously, and said with a light smile: "The formation in the mountains is also available, I'm not a man... no, mine It means that I am not the two elder brothers, the boy’s family goes to the battlefield, and it is enough to learn the basics, and it is convenient to go up and down the mountain.”

She secretly bit the tip of her tongue, felt a burst of nervousness, and almost revealed the secret that she was her daughter's family when she was excited, but she was quick to respond.Looking at Wei Ling's words again, it seemed that she didn't notice this detail, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Lingci paid attention to other things, and looked at her: "You want to go down the mountain? Go out through the main gate openly, no one stops you, what are you doing to go up the mountain?"

"There are always times when the front door is inconvenient. Besides, you just mentioned this to me and wanted to teach me."

It was indeed Wei Lingci who mentioned it first, and those pedantic school gentlemen probably wouldn't know the formation on the mountain.Maybe Wei Lingci didn't know the teaching situation in the school, so he just asked her.

The two had their own thoughts, and Wei Lingci went down the steps that Xun Changqing had built, and took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Tomorrow, you can ask your husband for half a month's leave, and when you come back, wait for me in the study, and I will teach you in the morning."

Xun Changqing hurriedly nodded in response, and waited for Zijin when he returned to his room after dinner. She hadn't gone during the day, and she would definitely look for it at night.

At night, the night is dotted with stars, like a child's eyes are extremely bright.

After Wei Lingci took a bath, he changed into a willow green gauze dress, with long flowing hair, and walked at night like clouds, and brought a cup of tea to Xun Changqing's room.After the latter opened the door, his surprised eyes fell on the tea, and he refused: "Master, drinking tea at night will not make you sleepy."

"It's just ginseng tea, it won't keep you from falling asleep. I made the kitchen boil it specially. After drinking it, go to bed quickly." "You are so neatly dressed, why don't you go down the mountain in the middle of the night?"

Xun Changqing frowned, carefully tried to discuss: "Do I have to drink?"

Wei Lingci asked back: "Isn't this poisonous medicine, so hard to swallow?"

Of course, it is not afraid of poison. Medicine, Xun Changqing Wuzhe took it, raised her head and drank it, as if it was ordinary ginseng tea, and she returned the empty cup to Wei Lingci.

Wei Ling only told her: "Rest early."

The small twists and turns did not attract Xun Changqing's attention. This situation had happened before. When she first came, Wei Lingci would also order the small kitchen to make some ginseng tea.After the fire and candles in the opposite room were extinguished, she opened the window and waited for Zi Jin.

After waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Zijin. She lay down on the table a little drowsy, thinking that Zijin would wake her up, so she squinted her eyes and took a nap with confidence.

The sound of cicadas can no longer be heard in the autumn night. In addition, there is no moon tonight, and a few stars are dotted far above the sky. It is as dark as ink, and the path on the mountain is not easy to walk. After waiting outside for a long time, seeing no one around, he climbed over the high wall.

This is not the first time she has come here, she has already figured out the way, and ran directly to Xun Changqing's house, the window was open, presumably the people in the house had been waiting for her for a long time.She ran over with small steps, and when she wanted to climb over the window, she found that the light in the opposite room suddenly turned on.

There are walls all around, and there is only one sycamore tree to hide. When she took steps to climb the tree, a very clear voice sounded in the middle of the night: "There is no need to climb the tree, let's go into the house."

As soon as she heard the voice, she knew that Wei Lingci was waiting for her. Her eyes froze, and cold snow particles seemed to float in her eyes. She didn't lift her foot, and only opposed Wei Lingci.

"You can choose to stand there. I don't need to call anyone else. I can keep you in Ziying Pavilion by myself."

The voice is like a human being, and it is extremely cold, as if the blade of a sword in his hand has broken through the thousand-year-old ice, and it is so cold to the bone.

Zijin held the broken blade in his hand. In the battle of Lingyang five years ago, Wei Lingci defeated dozens of assassins by himself, and retreated without any wounds on his body. She was horrified by the high level of martial arts.She is here alone, even if there are a few more people, I am afraid that it is impossible to retreat at this moment.

She thought for a while, glanced at the window behind her, gritted her teeth, put away the dagger in her hand, and stepped into Wei Ciling's bedroom.

A solitary lamp in the room, the light is thin and dim, condensed at the wick, but it is bright light.Wei Lingci took a lamp in front of the bed, the wick touched the flame, and bright light suddenly appeared in the dim yellow room.

She put the two lamps in the same place, her face was very cold, "Changqing is asleep, even if you go to her at this time, it is useless."

Wei Lingci's eyes were so light that people couldn't see her emotions. Zijin untied the black scarf on her face. She had a handsome face, but the look in her eyes was also very cold. The dark guard was like this, without her own emotion.She didn't speak, and without knowing what Wei Lingci's plan was, she would not speak first and put herself in adversity.

And Wei Lingci saw it clearly from the side, and said: "You came to tell Xun Changqing that Princess Pingnan disappeared, and at the same time, the city defense map was missing. This is the highest military secret of Daqi. The frontier may repeat the same mistakes and war again."

Hearing the name of the princess, Zijin's heart trembled, and the light and shadow in his eyes flickered, "The princess hopes that I can take the young master away."

Wei Ling was taken aback, and a cloud of suspicion surged in his heart, "Do you two have a correspondence?"

"No, it was a few months ago. She told me that if there was any change in the imperial capital, she asked me to take the young master away. Since then, she has cut off correspondence, but today she received a letter from the imperial capital, saying that the princess stole it. Defense map."

Zijin's words made Wei Lingci's nerves tense for half a day, and then slowly relaxed. At least this matter had nothing to do with Xun Changqing.

In the stillness of the night, there seemed to be a sudden turbulent wave hitting the shore. After she took a deep breath, she said, "Where do you want to take her?"

"southwest."

"Going to the southwest, not to mention the long distance, just because she disappeared on Lingyun Mountain, both the imperial court and Lingyunzong will send people to chase you. There are countless assassins. Can you take her to the southwest?"

Wei Lingci was tall and tall, looking sideways at the dark night sky, his eyes were bright and bright, and sighed: "You will only harm her if you take her away."

Zijin's eyebrows gathered together, and the cold wind blowing slowly outside, couldn't help but reply: "You can stay here, there are people from the imperial court in Lingyun Mountain, and someone started to monitor her today, which means that she has begun to doubt her, and staying here is the only way to die." one."

"Going out is also a dead end!" Wei Ling's words were also expressionless, and he had no intention of entangled with Zijin's persistence, and said bluntly: "The court has never doubted her at this time. She hasn't returned to Beijing for four years. She is Pingnan. The heir of the king, if you move her, you must move Xunyi first, such a simple truth, why bother to dig into a dead end."

Wei Lingci's expression was calm, which made Zijin feel uneasy, and snorted coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, of course you should speak calmly. At a critical moment, draw a clear line with the young master, which is just in line with your righteous and dignified appearance. .”

"Do you think I'll harm her?" Wei Lingci looked sideways, staring closely at Zijin's eyes, which were usually like water, instantly like a thunderstorm, cold and frightening.

Zijin stayed in the kitchen for a long time, and saw her a few times, each time she was cold and indifferent, and she was surprised by her look like a woman right now.

While the fire was jumping, she sarcastically said: "Is it possible that you are expected to save the young master, and you will care about the relationship between master and apprentice? Your master is the head of Lingyun sect. If you talk about the relationship between master and apprentice, you should listen to him more." .”

With a gun and a stick in his words, Wei Lingci's eyes darkened, and his voice was full of helplessness: "Right now, you can only trust me, not to mention that the back mountain is densely covered with formations, and you will fall into it if you are not careful. Even if you go out of the mountains, you will not be able to reach the southwest, Lingyun is the leader of the Jianghu sect, if you give an order, the consequences are not something you can bear."

She knew all these things, but staying in Lingyun was only waiting for her death, and she had a chance of winning if she put all her eggs in one basket. Zijin was stunned, distracted for a moment, wondering whether she should believe in Wei Ling's words, and she was entangled in her eyes.

Wei Lingci didn't force her either, what she valued was the loyalty of the person in front of her, and it's not good to be in a hurry, she sat on a stool beside her, looking at the two candles, and the person standing in front of her at this time was Xun Changqing , should be more hesitant than her.Over the years, it could be seen that Xun Changqing was more indifferent to her than respectful.

She was always rejecting her own good intentions!

There was some wandering coldness in her eyes, and she said to herself: "You must not tell Chang Qing about Princess Pingnan, you should understand how she feels about Princess Pingnan, if she knows, she might make a fuss and go down the mountain, go back to the imperial capital, and go to the southwest Neither is advisable. Now you can go to her, how to say it is up to you.”

Zijin didn't speak, but turned around and left, so that she believed in Wei Ling's words, pushed open Xun Changqing's door, called a few words, but couldn't wake her up.

She looked back at Wei Lingci who followed, her expression was cold and serious, "Did you drug her?"

"It's just medicine that can make her fall asleep. You go back first. When you come tomorrow, tell her that you have been here tonight, but she fell asleep," Wei Ling said in a few words, ignoring Zijin's strangeness. , bent over and picked up Xun Changqing, and placed him on the bed.

The ribbon on her hair was put down, and the ink-like long hair slid over Wei Lingci's fingertips, her eyes wandered, her fingertips trembled, she put the ribbon on the table, took the quilt from the inside of the bed and covered her body, everything was done. Her sobs were choked up in her throat, and the scene in front of her seemed to be pierced by needles in her heart.

Her head ached without warning, she rubbed her temples vigorously, trying to relieve the pain, she couldn't help but look at the quiet and beautiful sleeping face of the person on the couch, the shadows under the long eyelashes were like flowers, the feeling of almost breaking She couldn't stop shaking.

Xun Changqing is 13 years old, and he will be able to reach Ji in two years. The road is getting closer and closer. After passing through thousands of rivers and mountains, the desperate situation and the end of the world appear in front of him again. In this life, Princess Pingnan stole the city defense map.

Why is she so disregarding Xun Changqing? Is it possible that what she has done all these years is to paralyze everyone?

After the pain subsided, Wei Lingci went back to her room. It was not difficult to walk in the dark, and she turned off all the lights.

In the silence of the night, she seemed to hear the sound of the wind and the waves again. She covered her ears with such force that her bones seemed to be split open. The sound of the waves pierced through her hands and entered her eardrums.

In the middle of the night, it began to rain lightly.

The light rain was light and the north wind was blowing, and the fallen leaves fell all over the ground.

When Xun Changqing got up, the light of the morning light flowed into the house, and the windows were open all night. Although the quilt was covered, the north wind blew in at night, bringing some chills. I couldn't help but sneezed. window coffin.I secretly became suspicious in my heart.Last night, I obviously fell asleep on the table, why did I lie on the couch when I woke up.

Could it be that the master came in in the middle of the night, but why the north window was not closed?Probably because Zijin had been here, and seeing that he was asleep, he helped himself to the couch, and forgot to close the window when he left.

The cold wind blew all night, he had a severe headache and was a little dizzy, Xun Changqing took two steps and lay back on the couch, covered his face with the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep again.When she woke up, it was already noon, she looked at the wet ground, and then remembered that she should go to the Literature Hall to ask for leave this morning, and she went at this time, and the time was also wrong.

No matter what, it was time to go to the Literature Hall. Fortunately, the clothes were not changed, and she casually grabbed the ribbon on the table, trying to tie up her long hair. When the door opened, she hurriedly turned to look.

Wei Lingci stepped closer, looking at her disheveled clothes and messy hair, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her lips lost their color due to the wind and cold, and the plain skirt made her look even more haggard.

She was negligent last night and forgot to close the window when she left.

Wei Lingci stepped closer, put the soup on the table, brushed her forehead with her slender fingertips, it was warm, not as hot as in the morning, she smiled and said: "Why is it like a cat after a fight, with messy clothes?" I don't know how to comb my hair, if I plan to go out like this, I won't be afraid that my senior brother will laugh at you."

Xun Chang's clear eyes were a little turbid, and Wei Lingci took away the belt in his hand, and walked with his fingertips through his hair. The scattered strands of hair were lifted up one by one, with light force, without any damage. Touching her, in a trance, I heard her say: "When I got up early, I found that you hadn't woken up. I thought you were lazy again. After I came in, I found out that you had a fever. Fortunately, the fever subsided, but why did the windows stay open all night?"

Xun Changqing's truth is: "I don't know either. I felt a headache after waking up. I went back to bed and slept for a while. After waking up, you came in."

After the hair was bundled, Xun Changqing took a step back consciously, tidied up her clothes, and a bowl of soup appeared in front of her. I didn't go to ask for leave, you wait for me to come back."

The small palm-sized face was wrinkled into a ball, Wei Lingci laughed a little, his eyes softened slowly, and said in a gentle voice: "I just ordered someone to take the message and ask for leave for you. There is no need to go there again. I will have lunch later. Sleep for a while, going out is easy to aggravate the wind and cold."

For these trivial matters, Xun Changqing listened to his master and nodded in agreement.After dinner in the afternoon, Wei Lingci gave her a book on the introduction to formations, and went back to the study.

Flipping through a few pages, she said roughly the same as what she had read before, she knew it all, so she didn't need to read any more, thinking about when she would slip out to look for Zijin, she blamed herself for being sleepy last night, and Zijin didn't even wake up when Zijin came. She, but thinking about it, it shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise Zijin wouldn't be so calm.

The wind picked up again outside, and the fallen leaves of the sycamore tree floated into the house through the window.

The window of the study was facing her door, if she went out, she would definitely find out that not only would she not be able to get out, but she would also be punished.She glanced at the window, and when she opened it and was about to climb the window, she found that a person's clothes were passing through the corner door, and it was only when someone entered the door that she realized it was Zhao Yang.

Changed into brand new purple robes, walking in the wind, when passing by the peach tree, stepped on the wet soil, got muddy, and didn’t know to change to a clean gravel road, whichever was the closest I don't want to take two more steps.

He should have gone down the mountain to go home this morning, but why did he appear here again, but he was carrying a food box in his hand, and at a glance, he knew that it must be the food he had found everywhere.

Ziying Pavilion is the residence of Wei Lingci, so he should visit Wei Lingci first when he comes. Zhao Yang knocked on the door of the study with a food box in his hand, and came out after half a quarter of an hour. Pushing open the door, he shouted, "Changqing, I've brought you something to eat."

Eating is fun, and she suddenly felt that Zhao Yang's life was really simple, wondering if he would worry about other things after returning.She closed the window at the right time, and looked at the person who was a head taller than her at the door with a smile, "What did you bring to eat? You should go down the mountain and go home today, why haven't you left yet?"

"It rained last night, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, so we waited until the weather cleared before we left. Anyway, there is no rush for a day or two." Zhao Yang stepped in and opened the food box, with a slightly annoyed tone, "I brought a roast chicken. I invited you to eat roast chicken, but Uncle Wei just took it away, saying that you can't eat greasy food because you have not gone cold. Really, if you don't eat it, I can eat it."

Guessing that Zhao Yang came here specially to deliver the roast chicken, but he was cut off halfway, and the whole person might feel uncomfortable, and then he babbled: "I asked my brother to roast the roast chicken specially, it smells delicious, but Uncle Wei is unreasonable at all, alas..."

There is no roast chicken that makes people happy, but Zhao Yang brought a lot of nuts and set up a table full of them. I am afraid that these things took him a lot of time.

Xun Changqing said with a smile: "Master doesn't like these foods. When you leave later, I will ask Master for them before returning them to you."

"No, that's for you, you'd better keep it for yourself," Zhao Yang grabbed a handful of longan and stuffed it into her hand, looking at Xun Changqing's slender waist, he said strangely: "When I saw you, I felt you Not skinny, why are you so thin now, the waists of those juniors who came later are also thicker than yours, just like those juniors."

Zhao Yang's mind should have been practicing martial arts and looking for food these years. She is a daughter's family, of course she can't compare with a man's figure, but I can't tell him this. Xun Changqing peeled off the longan shell and interrupted: " Maybe it’s because of the hardships on the mountain, remember to ask someone to bring me some food when you go home.”

"It's easy to handle. I'll have someone bring it over when I get home. The Imperial Capital is not far from here, and it will be there in a few days."

Teikyo!

Xun Changqing's expression froze unavoidably, and the round nut in his hand trembled suddenly. Zhao Yang's father had been transferred to the Imperial Capital, and she tentatively asked, "Are you going to the Imperial Capital? Uncle transferred you to the Imperial Capital?"

Zhao Yang agreed nonchalantly: "That's right, being the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is much better than being in the countryside. Changqing, you are from the Imperial Capital, how is the scenery there?"

"The scenery is beautiful, but the imperial capital is at the foot of the emperor, you should be careful, but my uncle is the young minister of Honglu Temple, so I won't attract their attention too much, you can play as you like."

Zhao Yang's eyes were already clear, but he was not as excited as before, lowered his eyes, and said: "No, my mother wants me to go back and discuss marriage!"

It turned out that he was worried about this, so Xun Changqing tilted his head to look at him, and held back his smile, "Good thing, there are so many ladies in the imperial capital, all of them are beauties, and they are docile, much better than the teachers and sisters here. .”

The sons and daughters of Jiangnan are different from the ladies in the imperial capital. Zhao Yang has seen too many "unreasonable" seniors and sisters, and is afraid of meeting girls.Xun Changqing felt that he was getting more and more interesting, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Actually, you are just discussing marriage now, and you don't know how to get married, so don't be so anxious."

It seems to be the case, he is only fifteen years old, Zhao Yang lowered his head to eat melon seeds, silent for a moment, looked into Xun Changqing's slightly smiling eyes, and said suddenly: "Changqing, will you become an official? You are the best in your subjects, and you are willing to learn, it is better to take the imperial examination, which is more promising."

Become an official?Her father is King Pingnan, and she is a child of the royal family. Taking the imperial examination is not her way, but she can't tell Zhao Yang about this, so she made up a reason at random: "If you don't take the exam, the road in the officialdom is difficult and dangerous, and it's not as good as going in the Jianghu. , in fact, you can take the exam, how nice it is to have a father as a backer in the court."

Zhao Yang shook his head, "I don't like that set, I plan to go back to open a restaurant and do business."

Xun Changqing was stunned, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, his father might die of anger when he found out.

The two chatted one after another for half an hour. After Zhao Yang let go of his mind, he talked about interesting things, and talked about the disciples that the second uncle had accepted, saying: "Don't think that Zhou Man is a daughter's family. She has good strength." It is big, and its equestrian skills are very good, it seems that it has been riding a horse since childhood, it is really amazing."

"It's just that she is diligent." Xun Changqing stared at the flesh on the back of his hand, stretched out his hand to squeeze it, and said with a smile: "If you are as diligent as her, you will lose this flesh."

Zhao Yang was wronged, he didn't speak, he reached out and grabbed a handful of longan, and continued to eat.

The two of them didn't speak, and it seemed that the room was silent, and the voices outside the door could be heard clearly. With the crack of the door open, Zhao Yang recognized the touch of pink clothes, and said in a low voice, "That's Zhou Man, what is she here for? Uncle Master is not on the mountain, so he probably didn’t come to pass on a message.”

It's really not elegant to have such a big body leaning against the crack of the door, Xun Changqing pulled him to the window, opened a few inches of gap for him to look at, and said strangely: "Why are you staring at her girl like that, maybe you like it He's gone, but he's only eleven or twelve years old, so your idea is too early."

"No, it's strange that she walks alone. The senior sister who lives in Qingziyuan also said that she doesn't like to walk with others. I'm just curious." Zhao Yang turned to look at Xun Changqing who had a calm face, He grinned, "There is one thing you definitely don't know. Zhou Man wanted to worship Uncle Wei as his teacher, but Uncle Wei didn't accept him, and the sect leader had no choice but to let Second Uncle accept him. I heard that she cried for a long time. I'm just curious why Uncle Wei didn't accept him, you see my master has so many disciples, I really don't understand what Uncle Wei thinks."

He was arguing for Zhou Man. Xun Changqing glared at him, feeling puzzled, and kicked him again, "Master, if you don't accept it, you won't accept it. What are you talking so much? If you like girls, just say it directly, don't worry about it." Beat the bush."

Zhao Yang's obese body hid to the side, unwillingly said: "It's not that I like her, she has a bad temper, and she fights every day when she gets married, junior brother, you have a bad temper, and when you marry a wife, you must marry a docile one. Otherwise, you will fight every day."

Why did it come to her, and besides, she has a good temper, Wei Ling's words are consistent, when did she refute it, how wonderful... no, why did he think of Wei Ling's words again, Xun Changqing patted himself and thought about it After getting rid of distracting thoughts, he looked at the door of the study.

The door was open, and Zhou Man was holding a few books, cheering happily, unable to put them down, and saluted Wei Lingci. When he came out, he glanced around vigilantly before gathering his clothes and leaving.

Those eyes looked around, but for a moment, Zhao Yang never cared because he never stared at Zhou Man, but she cared because Zhou Man raised his eyes inadvertently, it was not deliberate, because there was no one in Ziying Pavilion , the surroundings are empty, and no one is worried that someone will care about her.

It shows that the moment of raising her eyes was inertia, she was used to taking a look around after going out.

Her actions are very similar to Zijin's. Zijin is a secret guard, shady and vigilant, but what is Zhou Man doing for?

After eating the nuts on the table, Zhao Yang left.Xun Changqing sat alone at the table thinking about what happened just now, guessing that Zhou Man is also a secret guard?But who would spend such a large amount of money to send the hidden guard under the direct disciple of the head of the Lingyun sect, it's too strange.

Just now Zhao Yang said that Zhou Man’s purpose when he came was Wei Ling Ci. Could it be that Xun Yiran was the person, the royal family spent such a large amount of money to send him in, and Xun Yiran only sent Zhou Man to Wei Ling Ci for the sake of feelings. Beside?

It's really strange, she was really curious, did the former Shi Wei Ling Ci marry him.With such deep friendship, I don't know how many pieces of handkerchiefs were torn apart by the women in the harem.Her heart was in a mess, and after she sighed heavily, the light in front of her eyes suddenly brightened a lot.

"I heard your sighs several miles away from the door. Did you feel uncomfortable when you heard that the teacher stopped your roast chicken?"

Xun Changqing stood up suddenly, looked at Wei Lingci who seemed to be in a good mood at the door, and muttered: "I'm not the one that Senior Brother Zhao always misses to eat."

After stepping into the room, he saw the empty nut shells on the table, Wei Ling frowned, "You're coming too."

"That's not it," Xun Changqing bit his lips, wanting to argue, his forehead felt cold, Wei Lingci's back of his hand touched her head, the touch of her skin made her heart move, her eyes flickered, she didn't back away .

"Head still hurts?" Wei Lingci said and withdrew his hand. The scorching heat in the morning really scared her. Ever since Xun Changqing was with her, he had almost never had a cold, and his physique was not bad. He came here overnight. The high fever headache is really scary.

Xun Changqing shook his head, and he no longer had a headache when he woke up at noon.

People who were depressed in the morning were alive and kicking after drinking the medicine. It was no big deal, Wei Lingci was also relieved, and saw the half-open window with sideways eyes, and shook his head helplessly, "I was very obedient when I was young, how did I grow up?" I became more and more disobedient, I told you at noon, remember to close the window, and now it is opened again, so obedient and obedient."

Wei Lingci seems to be very concerned about these details recently, Xun Chang's clear eyes are tight, staring at her obsessively, causing Wei Lingci to frown, reminding: "Why are you staring at me like this?"

"Master, this disciple feels that you are a little weird recently."

"How weird?"

"Why do you care about these details today? You usually don't allow people to enter your study, but you let Zhou Man in today."

Going around, it was because of this, Wei Lingci stared at her in surprise, the corners of his lips curved slightly, he must be jealous, after a moment of daze, the ice in his eyes faded a little, "She came to borrow books , it should be led to the study."

Xun Changqing immediately retorted: "The Lingyuan Pavilion in the mountains is full of books. Why did you come to find you? You never suspected that she had ulterior motives."

Her attitude lost her usual respect due to urgency, and Wei Ling's words were not annoyed, perhaps treating her as an ignorant child, and said slowly: "There are many books in the study room that Lingyuan Pavilion has never had, don't you know? "

This is no doubt about Zhou Man, Xun Changqing looked sideways, avoiding her gaze, "Of course I don't know, you didn't allow me to go in."

"Did I never let you in? What you don't understand is that you would rather go to Lingyuan Pavilion than enter my study room. The older you get, the more alienated you are from me. Now you still blame me. What you did as an apprentice is really wrong." Be reasonable."

Wei Lingci patted the back of her head with a smile, and left the room with a smile.The change of half a quarter of an hour made Xun Changqing horrified, and Wei Lingci realized that he was gradually alienating her.However, she was just keeping a distance and didn't want to let herself fall again.

..................................................................

The vast grassland, the long wind veins, the morning air is like fog.

Countless tents were erected on the grassland. Inside the large tent, the incense burner smelled faintly of hibiscus flowers, covering up the coldness of the grass.

Anaxuan entered the tent, looking at Xun Yisu who was sitting on the felt mat and reading a book leisurely, the hatred in his eyes was as strong as strong wine, almost gushing out, her biggest secret was actually known to her, and she wanted to kill but couldn't. If she dared to kill her, she still had to order someone to protect her every day, she was extremely useless.

No one knew about her being a woman except her own mother, but it happened to be known by people thousands of miles away, and even if they clenched their fists, they couldn't get rid of the anger in their hearts.

She sat down opposite Xun Yisu, and said coldly: "Princess Pingnan is missing, your father is sending someone to look for her."

Xun Yisu suddenly raised her head, her long and narrow eyes condensed into ice, but the delicate and delicate person did not show any weakness. She had been married for several years, and her relationship with Anaxuan was nothing more than superficial affection.

It's true that Anaxuan is the son of the eldest son, but there is no distinction between the frontier and the eldest son, and if he has the ability, he will become a king.Therefore, Anaxuan has no advantage, but she has great ambitions. Her daughter's family wants to become the throne, but she just learned from the Great Qi Ningyuan Empress, but she does not have the courage and means of an empress.Marrying her is just to seize the throne, Daqi
