Live up to the breeze and the bright moon

The official road that Xu Ye took Liu Xi to, because he had the military badge in his hand, he was not embarrassed on the road, and the road went smoothly.

In fact, Xu Ye traveled faster than Liu Xi, but in order to take care of Liu Xi, it took about [-] days to travel and arrived in almost [-] days.

Xu Ye didn't bring Liu Xi to the three battle passes of Minnan, Gucheng and Lao'an where he was fighting, but took him to Mincheng, the county town closest to the three passes.The vicinity of the three passes is the combat area, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter without permission.

Mincheng is close to the pass, and it was an important trade center during the truce period, and it became an important base for supply to the border pass during the war.The daily residences and some of the family members of the border generals above the third rank are also in Mincheng.

Although it is the nearest town, there is still a distance between Mincheng and the pass. Once the pass is lost, there is still a buffer zone to prepare for battle, so that Mincheng will not be in danger immediately.

Before Xu Ye and Liu Xi entered the city, they saw the army camp stationed outside the city in the distance, and the sound of soldiers training on the battlefield could be heard, and the momentum was majestic.

"It seems that the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived." Xu Ye happily said to Liu Xi, seeing the soldiers in armor gathered outside the city gate.

"Oh..." Liu Xi didn't understand how Xu Ye could tell, "How did you find out?"

"Look at the battle flags in the camp, and the battle flags on the city wall. The border commander's battle flags are black, and these battle flags include not only black, but also red, cyan, and...yellow!" Xu Ye said to Huang Er He seemed to be shocked when he wrote the words. He didn't carefully identify the specific color of the battle flag just now, and there was only one yellow battle flag, which was submerged in the flags blown by the wind.

"What happened to the yellow flag?" Liu Xi was puzzled.

"The yellow flag is the battle flag of the Son of Heaven. Could it be that... Your Majesty has conscripted it himself?!" Xu Ye couldn't help speeding up his pace towards the city.

Liu Xi had no choice but to follow quickly.

The chief guard who guarded the city knew Xu Ye, but when he saw that Xu Ye was not wearing a military uniform, he brought a stranger with him, and asked strangely, "Why is General Xu dressed like this? But there is a secret mission?"

"Exactly. This is the doctor I invited here by the order of the Lord General, Brother Liu."

Liu Xi saluted the guards respectfully.

After introducing Liu Xi, Xu Ye continued to ask the captain of the guard, "I saw the emperor's flag on the city, but did His Majesty personally conscript it?"

"It's not His Majesty, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who marched on behalf of His Majesty. He just led the army to arrive a few days ago..."

His Royal Highness?Liu Xi could no longer hear the conversation between Xu Ye and the captain of the guard, and felt that his heart was in a mess. Is His Royal Highness Li Yu?He led the army?He is in this city?he……

"Brother Liu?" Xu Ye patted the dazed Liu Xi, "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, no, I think it's because I'm too tired from running around all day." Liu Xi hastily concealed his abnormality. Now he is a little bit resistant to going into the city, but he has already arrived, how can he find an excuse to leave.

Xu Ye nodded, turned around and bid farewell to the captain of the guard, then took Liu Xi into the city, settled him in his residence, ordered his servants to bathe and change Liu Xi, prepared some food and wine, and hurriedly reported to the general.

Knowing that Li Yu was also in the city, Liu Xi had no intention of eating at all. He thought that he would never see Li Yu again in his life, nor did he plan to see him again, but now Li Yu is in the same city as him , what should I do if I encounter it?

It so happened that a servant came to bring Liu Xi a change of clothes. Liu Xi hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What rank is your general?"

"The general is the second rank."

Being so tall, I accidentally saved a second-rank official. Liu Xi thought for a while, "Do all the generals live near here?"

"That's right. These houses are specially prepared for the generals who guard the border."

"Then... do you know where His Royal Highness lives?"

The servant looked at Liu Xi tremblingly, "His Royal Highness? Lives in the palace..."

"Huh? No, I mean where does His Royal Highness live in Mincheng, do you know?"

The servant blinked, "In the past, people from the court lived in the Lord General's mansion, so His Royal Highness must be the same."

"Where is the residence of the Lord General?"

The servant became suspicious of Liu Xi because of these series of questions, "What is the young master going to do? Why do you want to inquire about these things?"

"Eh..." Liu Xi's mind turned sharply. Could it be that this person thinks that I am a spy or an assassin of the enemy army, "His Royal Highness has an old illness, and I am the doctor of your general who was ordered by the Lord General to treat His Royal Highness." , General Xu is busy with military affairs, I need to go to the Lord General's Mansion to treat His Highness, of course I need to know where the Lord General's Mansion is."

The servant sized Liu Xi up, and then replied suspiciously, "The Lord General's Mansion is at the end of this road. The residences of the generals are headed by the Lord General's Mansion, and built on both sides. The tallest building is there, and it is easy to find. .”

"Thank you." Liu Xi smiled politely at the servant, and finally let go of the servant's sleeve.

Since the Lord General's Mansion is very close to here, Liu Xi decided to rest here tonight, and tomorrow he will ask Brother Xu to take him to the place where the wounded and sick soldiers are placed, and then he will eat and live with the soldiers there. We will meet Li Yu.

……

After bathing and eating, although it was still early in the evening, Liu Xi was very tired from running around for days, and really needed to rest.

In fact, there is no need to worry so much... Liu Xi, who was lying on the bed, felt that he seemed to be thinking too much about being in the same city as Li Yu.Although Mincheng is not as big as Beijing, it is not so coincidental.What's more, Li Yu is the crown prince now, and he should be hugged when he travels. He is just a commoner, and I'm afraid he can't get close. It's so easy to see him, so don't be too affectionate...

When he woke up again, the surroundings were already pitch black, Liu Xi didn't know what time it was, and it was quiet outside the house.I had a dream just now, but I can't remember it in a blink of an eye.

As soon as he turned over and planned to continue sleeping, there was a burst of noise outside the house. He heard someone calling out general respectfully. Liu Xi knew that Xu Ye had returned.

I only heard Xu Ye coming to the door of Liu Xi's room, calling the servant over in a low voice and asking, "Brother Liu has fallen asleep?"

"Mr. Liu took a rest in the afternoon, he should still be sleeping."

"Okay. You take someone to arrange my bedroom properly. His Royal Highness will sleep here tonight. Don't neglect it. Then tidy up a guest room for me to sleep in."

"Yes."

After Liu Xi listened in a daze, he suddenly lost sleepiness. Li Yu wants to come to Xu Ye's residence to sleep? !Shouldn't Li Yu be in the Lord General's residence?Why do you come here to sleep?It's really against my will, what should I do... What should I do if I meet him tomorrow morning?No, you can't meet it, you must never meet it.

Liu Xi turned over and got out of bed, and walked around in front of the bed with bare feet. Xu Ye called His Highness's voice came from outside the room again, but it should be far away, and the voice was slightly softer. Liu Xi froze, subconsciously He walked towards the door without hesitation, squatted down, and put his ear on the door to listen carefully.

"The last general's residence is shabby, and His Royal Highness has been wronged."

"You and I don't need to be polite."

Li Yu's voice came lightly into the ears of Liu Xi, who was eavesdropping behind the door, and shattered Liu Xi's heart that he thought had become stronger. His chest tightened, his nose sore, and warm tears slipped down easily.

It was him, it was his voice, yes, it was him, it was really him...

She never thought that after so many years, she could still be so close to him, just separated by a door, and he was not far from the door.If you want to see him, you just need to open the door and go out to see the person you have missed for a long time.

I never thought it would be so easy to reunite with him, but... I couldn't open the door and walk out, I couldn't take the initiative to meet him, and I couldn't see him.

Rather than saying that he couldn’t do it, it’s better to say that he dared not, that he didn’t dare to see him being polite and rude to him, that he didn’t dare to question why he hadn’t heard from him for so many years, that he didn’t dare to face the admiration that once treated him sincerely and now seemed almost absurd. Dare to approach him, dare not stand in front of him, dare not look into his eyes, dare not listen to his voice... dare not, dare not do anything, it turns out that I am still as cowardly as before, and I have not made any progress in the past six years.

What's more, he doesn't need himself, and it seems that he has never needed himself, so what if we meet each other?If he has forgotten himself, abandoned the past, and embarked on the path that a prince should walk, why should he appear rashly and disrupt his rare days when he is on the right track? Why bother...

I am no longer that childish Wu Yan, but Liu Xi who has tied up her hair and crowned her head. How can she act casually like before, regardless of the consequences and regardless of gains and losses? Don't be confused again, and don't think about these vain things again. something happened...

Liu Xi leaned against the door and clenched his fists tightly. Unknowingly, tears were streaming down his face, but he couldn't make a sound.

"By the way, where is the doctor you mentioned to me who saved your life now? I should give him a big reward. Without him, I would have lost a general."

"Brother Liu didn't know that His Highness was coming, but he fell asleep because of the traveling all the way. I'll bring him to see His Highness another day."

"Oh~ also good."

"Your Highness, this way please."

It took a long time for the two of them's voices to disappear before Liu Xi calmed down, stood up while holding the door, and walked back to the bed in a daze.

Brother Xu will definitely take him to see Li Yu tomorrow morning, no, Liu Xi made up his mind to leave Xu Ye's residence overnight.Feeling in the dark, he packed his luggage bit by bit, put on his clothes, and waited until the midnight drum sounded. Liu Xi guessed that Xu Ye and the others should have fallen asleep, so he quietly left the room and walked quickly to the gate.

"who?"

Liu Xi was stopped by the inspector, but Liu Xi was familiar with this voice, it was the servant who came to deliver clothes to him today but he grabbed him and asked for a long time, "Hey, it's me."

"My lord is not resting in the room, where are you going so late?" The servant took a photo with a lantern and recognized the guest brought back by Xu Ye, his attitude immediately slowed down.

"I was ordered to diagnose and treat the wounded and sick soldiers. The time is urgent and there should be no delay." Liu Xi said seriously.

"My lord, please hand over the token to me for inspection."

"Token?" Liu Xi obviously didn't know there was such a thing.

The servant saw that Liu Xi must have left the mansion privately without a token, "After Haishi, you need a token to go in and out of the general's residence. Please go back, my lord, and don't make things difficult for the villain."

Liu Xi had no choice but to return to his room accompanied by his servants.

Liu Xi, who had put down his luggage, sat listlessly on the bed like a frost-beaten eggplant.If you can't leave the house tonight, what excuse should you find to avoid Li Yu tomorrow morning?If Brother Xu came to look for him, would he continue to pretend to be asleep?Or is it better to pretend to be sick?Will it be too serious to pretend to be sick, in case it becomes self-defeating?

Thinking about it, Liu Xi unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth when he recalled the way Li Yu looked at him full of love back then.

No!Liu Xi shook his head, perhaps just hearing Li Yu's voice reminded him of these things he shouldn't have thought about.

After struggling for an unknown amount of time, the outside of the house suddenly became noisy again. The sound of footsteps, the sound of opening the door, and the sound of announcements came to my ears, and the light of the servants carrying paper lanterns also shone into the room. Liu Xi didn't know what happened, and he didn't dare to open the door rashly. When I went out to watch, I had no choice but to hold back my curiosity and be bored in the room, since it had nothing to do with me anyway.

After a while, the outside of the house returned to calm.

That night, Liu Xi really couldn't fall asleep, his mind was full of Li Yu, Li Yu, Li Yu... He had rarely been so upset by Li Yu.

Although Liu Xi has thought for so many years that he will never meet Li Yu again in this life, it is undeniable that he has never expected to meet Li Yu again, but Liu Xi thinks that this expectation is just an unrealistic fantasy deep in his heart. Now that the fantasy is so close to reality, it can make people so restless.
