Zhu Lan is dead

"you……"

Finally, there was a wave of fluctuation on his usually calm and calm face. Yu Changqi looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. He would never have thought that he would meet Ye Fanji in this kind of place. If it wasn't for his smile just now, he might I really thought there would be two people so similar in the world.

"Caomin Cixin has seen the prince!" The young man seemed to deliberately ignore Yu Changqi's surprised look, slightly hooked his lips and took a step forward, and saluted him generously. when.

Seeing the young man coming in, Gui Fuyan stood up quickly, changed his previous sad look, and introduced to Yu Changqi: "This child is my nephew Cixin, and also my brother's orphan."

The elder brother he was talking about was Ciqingfang. When Ciqingfang was not famous, he was a well-known prodigal son in the capital, and Ciguo Gong had countless fame and fortune outside the army all his life. In addition to his younger sister, Ci Junyun, who had already married as a wife and cut off ties with the Ci family, Zhong Chiu also died young and never remarried, and the only eldest son of the family, Ci Qingfang, was born with a dandy and flirtatious temperament.

Because he was worried that the Ciqing House would ruin the family business in the future, Ci Guogong adopted Guifuyan, an orphan in the army, as his adopted son, and he hoped that he could help Ciqing House by his side, but it was very strange afterwards. After Yan came to the house, this Ciqingfang put away all his bad habits somehow, and learned his father's skills well, vowing to become the number one military general in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since then, everyone knows what happened to the Ci family, but Yu Changqi never expected that the Ci family would have descendants, and the only descendant was Ye Fanji.

As if knowing the doubts in Yu Changqi's heart, Gui Fuyan said again: "Brother was a flirtatious man, he liked to mess around, but that time he messed with a woman from nowhere, causing her to become pregnant, but he didn't like it. I ran away responsibly, and now that someone else came to the door, I have..."

Speaking of this, his expression darkened, and his eyes were inexplicably terrified: "Now that the Ci family is in decline, but because of it, I have Ci Xin. I... don't know if this is a blessing or a curse..."

Hearing this, Yu Changqi looked up at the young man beside him, but the man looked indifferent, as if he didn't feel that there was anything to be sad about what happened to him, but he couldn't say anything, but now Ye Fan Now that he has such an identity again, he really doesn't know what to do.

"It's a pity that the lord is here for one night!" Ye Fan almost closed the door, and put the candlestick in his hand on the table.

The environment in the countryside is simple. Apart from the main house and the open-air stove, there are only two mud houses with brick walls left in the place where they live.

And Yu Changqi originally came to persuade Zhou Lixiao's order, but he knew that Guifuyan had an unswerving heart, and once he was firm, he would not change easily.

What's more, he didn't intend to persuade people to go back easily when he came this time. Of course, he didn't dare to neglect what Zhou Lixiao confessed, but the person also said that since he couldn't do it, he didn't have to go back. I made a good excuse to avoid the limelight and relax for a few days.

It's just that the environment is simple now. Although his status is higher than Guifuyan's, his seniority is lower than him. What's more, he can do whatever he wants. He has never been a picky person. He used to follow Zhou Lixiao in the army Having traveled in life and marched and fought for several years, he naturally endured all kinds of hardships.

"What shouldn't you say?" Yu Changqi sat quietly at the table, looking at the human being who came in, while the candle was half-lit.

Ye Fan smiled a few times, with an innocent face: "What does the lord want me to say?"

"The reason? Why didn't you reveal your true identity before, and what is your relationship with that person?"

"It seems that you already know..." Ye Fan frowned a few times, his pupils were well-read, "It doesn't matter, if you have to say one, two, three, it is the relationship between you and Zhou Lixiao, as for the reason? He suddenly smiled sincerely: "No!"

He didn't directly point out who "that person" was, but seeing Ye Fanji's attitude, it was obvious that he had acquiesced. A man who was the heir of a military general worked for the prince who died before. If Zhou Lixiao knew about this, he would Won't you cut him off?

He didn't know what he was thinking. Now facing Ye Fanji, he didn't have any hostile emotions that day. At this moment, this boy was just a very ordinary farm boy in his eyes. He didn't want Ye Fanji to be involved. When this kind of thing happened, I couldn't help saying: "I don't know how you got to know him, but before the matter is exposed, I advise you the best..."

"Is the prince worried about me?" Ye Fanji interrupted suddenly.

Yu Changqi looked at him coldly, noncommittal.

"Then it seems like I'm being self-indulgent." Ye Fan pouted a few times, "But it's impossible, just like the relationship between you and Zhou Lixiao, this kind of thing can't be changed, and I don't want to."

"Aren't you worried that if you are discovered in the future, it will endanger your husband's life?"

"Will the prince speak out?" Ye Fan looked at him with a serious expression.

"..."

"Looks like it won't happen." Ye Fan turned around a few times: "But I won't let the matter be exposed, and even if it happens, I won't let anyone endanger my second uncle!"

"Why are you……"

Just when Yu Changqi was about to ask a question, Ye Fanji suddenly walked up to him, covered his mouth, made a silent gesture and said: "My lord talked a lot tonight, but still Go to bed earlier, if Second Uncle sees that the room is still lit, maybe he will knock on the door and ask?"

After that, he turned around and took off all his clothes, leaving only a pair of underwear on his body. Although the young man looked thin, his back was very tight and straight after taking off his clothes, without any skinny appearance. The perfect waistline flows smoothly into the shadows, like a smooth and moist jadeite.

Yu Changqi watched silently, and then said: "At least the one is wearing a middle coat, why do you want to take it off?"

After hearing the words, Ye Fan put on a smiling face again, "My lord, you don't think you dislike me, right? I've been out and busy for a long time today, and my clothes are dirty. I have no place to wash, and I sleep in my clothes. Wouldn't it be worse?"

Yu Changqi didn't answer for a while, Ye Fan said again: "Forget it, I'd better put it on!" As he said that, he reached out to pick up the coat that he had taken off, Yu Changqi couldn't bear it anymore: "Forget it, you Go to bed!"

After the two of them went to bed, all the candle oil in the candlestick was burned out, and the inside and outside of the house were suddenly plunged into darkness. The countryside was very quiet at night, except for the chirping of insects in the fields in summer. There was a chill left.

Yu Changqi goes to bed very early in the daytime, but today there is someone lying next to him, but he can't fall asleep no matter what. Thinking of the two people who used to fight each other and were suspicious and guarded, now they are sleeping on the same bed defenseless, It's hard to say what it feels like in my heart.

It was almost three o'clock, and the people beside him were unconscious, but it was unavoidable to maintain one position for too long, so Yu Changqi tried to turn over on such a narrow bed, but just halfway through, A gust of warm breath gushed out around his neck, and then a body with heat leaned up directly. He was shocked in his heart, almost subconsciously. He stretched out his foot and kicked the person behind him off. bed.

There was only a "bang", and there was a muffled sound from the hard ground.

*

In the early morning of the next day, cocks crowed and dogs barked in the village.

Guifuyan always got up early, so he got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast on the stove.

The countryside is no better than the city, and there is nothing delicious, so he steamed the food brought by the girl next door yesterday.

It's just that the fire on the stove was finally ignited here, but there was a sudden sound behind him, Guifuyan turned his head, and saw Ye Fan sitting on the ground, shirtless and covered in ashes on his back.

Just curious that this child usually wakes up late, but today somehow he wakes up so frequently, Guifuyan couldn't help asking: "Why did you wake up so early, you don't seem to have the slightest energy, why don't you sleep more? "

The morning light cast a few rays of light between the delicate and clean brows, the young man squinted his eyes, but looked drowsy, "Someone kicked me out of bed last night..." As he said, he shook his head. He yawned, "If it was you, would you sleep peacefully?"

Gui Fuyan was stunned, then seemed to remember something, couldn't help but smiled helplessly: "It seems that the prince is not used to sleeping on the same bed with others."

As he said that, he stepped forward and pulled Ye Fanji up. The young man was straight and slender, and he was not much different from him when he stood up. Looking at Ye Fanji's laziness, there was a bit of doting in his eyes, Reaching out to brush off the dust on his body, he said: "Go to the river to wash first, I'll prepare the clothes for you, after breakfast follow me into the mountain, there will be a sacrifice in the mountain today!"

Ye Fanji opened his eyes slightly, with a stern expression, looked at Gui Fuyan and said, "He has been dead for so many years, why do you still not forget him?"

"..."

Wen Juan's brows and eyes were a little silent, and there seemed to be some mottled halos scattered in his eyes, but Guifuyan didn't speak any more, just patted Ye Fanji's shoulder and said: "Hurry up and wash your body, don't waste time! "

*

Surrounded by mountains and ridges, surrounded by bamboo trees, there are always green onions all around, and there are also red and yellow drifting.

The mountain springs and streams are tinkling, the autumn is pleasant, and the red maple leaves are falling, but the scenery is quiet and pleasant, but it is a pity that no one comes and goes, and the silence in the eyes only adds a trace of desolation.

Guifuyan's figure is too thin and thin, and a large cloth robe can't hide the innate scholarly atmosphere of a scholar. Walking among the shadows in the deep forest, his figure is as light and natural as a fish swimming in water. Carrying a bamboo basket on his body, there are incense paper candles for sacrificial offerings.

Following Ye Fanji closely behind him, the young man changed into a clean white cloth robe, and the unformed hair bun was neatly tied up with bamboo hairpins, revealing a jade-clear face, with clear and clean eyes and eyebrows.

Yu Changqi, on the other hand, followed the two of them leisurely with his hands behind his hands, his ocher red clothes were dazzling, but his handsome face was as indifferent as water.

Earlier I heard that the uncle and nephew were going to go up the mountain to sweep sacrifices for others, although Guifu Yanming didn't invite him, but he had nothing to do here after all, so they went with them, and Guifu Yanzhi Since he couldn't say anything about his identity, he could only silently agree.

When the three of them walked to an open place on the mountainside, the layers of branches above their heads were gone, and among the dense bushes in front of them, there was a tombstone covered with moss, and behind the tombstone was a small grave. .

Although the field of vision here is wide, the sunlight cannot come in because of the cover of a large forest not far away, and because of the long time, the entire tombstone is hidden in the shadow, which is a bit dark and desolate.

The description of the tombstone is dilapidated, and the characters on the surface of the tomb are hard to see because they are covered with moss, so it is difficult for Yu Changqi to judge who is the owner of the tomb here?

Guifuyan stepped forward, put down the basket behind him, cleared away the fallen leaves in front of the tombstone with his hands, placed the candlesticks and offerings, sat with his legs in front of the grave, and lit some incense.

"Xin'er, come here and kowtow to your father!"

An inch of ashes fell, Gui Fuyan closed his eyes for a long time, as if he was saying something in his heart, but now he opened his eyes suddenly, his tone was flat and without any emotion, but it made others feel that his voice seemed to be trembling.

On the other side, Ye Fan seemed to have expected that Guifuyan would ask him to kowtow, so he stood by and stood still, with a bit of youthful stubbornness in his beautiful eyes, and said: "I don't know him, and I don't have a father."

"I'll say it again, come here!" Guifuyan lowered his voice, revealing Lingwei's fearless aura invisibly, without the gentleness and softness of the past.

"I won't go, what is he..."

Before he could finish his words, a tingling pain suddenly came from his cheek, Ye Fan turned his head to one side, and his skin as white as jade was immediately stained with a blush.

Yu Changqi was also taken aback when he stood aside, but he never expected that Guifuyan, who has always been refined and kind, would also hit someone. Before he could stop him, he saw Guifuyan standing aside and talking.

"No matter how much you don't want to see your father, as his parent and son, you should never say such disrespectful words to him!"

Ye Fanji raised his head slowly, and looked at the man in front of him with some weather-beaten temples. This man used to be handsome and handsome, and entered the Imperial Academy with his good knowledge, step by step to the present.

And the glamorous Ci family back then is no longer there, and this man seems to have left with the dead person, and now he is the only one left, no, maybe he has always been alone.

The young man's eyes were slightly red, but that stubborn character was deeply imprinted in Guifuyan's eyes, and in the end he turned around and left without saying a word.
