purple yellow

A speck of blackness streaked across the starless and moonless night sky. With the scattered lights of thousands of houses, after returning to many confidential places in the city, it finally landed on the roof of a house opposite the magistrate's yamen.The thick night conceals the body shape, but it can't cover the obsidian-like eyes that are always shining, like the eyes of night owls on the eaves, staring at the prey for the final ambush.

Suddenly, a string of flames lit up in the west of the city, and they rushed towards this place, making the figure who wanted to take action hold back again.It was only when we got closer that we could see that it was a team of horses holding torches. The neat formation reflected the consistent well-trained.Before the horse team arrived, the county magistrate's yamen seemed to have received a sensor and suddenly opened up. Two groups of soldiers filed out and lined up on both sides. The one who followed out to greet him was Xiao Chai Wang, who was dressed in purple Chinese fur.

The Puma stopped abruptly, and the leading man was wrapped in a black cloak.When leaning over to get off the horse, the cloak was opened casually, revealing his soft armor immediately, he was actually a general in silver armor.He took off the helmet and clamped it in the crook of his arm, and took the hand of Chai Wenyi who was walking forward with one hand, very kindly: "Wen Yi, are you here all right?"

Chai Wenyi looked excited, and said happily: "Cousin, I have traveled thousands of miles, thank you for your hard work."

The lower part is asking about the cold and warm, and the eyes of the hidden figure above are showing shock.

Who would have expected that the person who came was the loyal general Yang Zongbao who was supposed to stay in Xiongzhou? !

Could it be that the Yang family was also involved in the rebellion in Prince Chai's residence?

He couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly, and felt that his palms were slightly wet with sweat.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chai Wenyi welcomed Yang Zongbao and his party into the mansion, and the black shadow crouching on the roof sneaked in after him.

A table of wine and food was prepared early in the flower hall behind the magistrate's government office. After Chai Wenyi introduced several important people in Bichuan County to Yang Zongbao, he wanted to lead a group of people to the table.Unexpectedly, Yang Zongbao refused and said: "I have been leading the army for many years, and my schedule has long been fixed. It's not that I don't show face, but I really don't have the habit of eating late at night." He walked to the table in three steps and poured a full glass, raised his glass and said again. "If there is any disrespect, I hope all the adults will forgive me. The three glasses of thin wine are regarded as Zongbao's apology in this room." After finishing speaking, he drank three glasses in a row.

Even because of Yang Zongbao's identity from Tianbo Yang's residence, Bichuan officials in this house would not dare to make a mistake, let alone that he is the cousin of King Xiaochai.Everyone laughed and sat down at the wine table to start the feast. Chai Wenyi walked around and retreated to sit next to Yang Zongbao in the cubicle.

Yang Zongbao smiled apologetically: "You really don't need to care about me, just go and have fun."

"Today, this banquet is meant to welcome my cousin, how can there be any reason to leave the protagonist aside?"

"Although you and I haven't seen each other for many years, why are you so polite?" After taking a sip of the tea made by Chai Wenyi himself, he nodded and said, "Exquisite phoenix, the lips and teeth are warm, and the water is fragrant. , the aftertaste is sweet and long. Wen Yi, you have never stopped practicing tea ceremony."

"My cousin is very praised. I have been traveling around for several years, and my hand was born long ago. Maybe my cousin has been stationed on the border for many years, and has suffered from hardships. He has not had a chance to calm down and drink tea."

Yang Zongbao smiled wryly: "That's true. Since my mother's funeral three years ago, Guiying returned to Tianbo Mansion to preside over the overall situation, and I stayed alone in Xiongzhou. I have never been in the mood to drink any tea."

"Cousin still doesn't believe what Wen Yi said?" Seeing Yang Zongbao's expression darken, Chai Wenyi's eyes flashed sharply.

"I believe. So what if I just believe? He is the king, and I am the minister. The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."

Chai Wenyi sneered: "cousin, do you still want to uphold the stupid loyalty of the Yang family to the Zhao family? Over the years, the Tianbo Mansion has declined, and the Yang family will be sick and die. Do you want nephew Wen Guang to follow your old path? ?”

"So what do you think?"

Chai Wenyi was not in a hurry to answer, but raised the hand holding the cup meaningfully, sprinkled the tea on the back of his head, and then filled the cup steadily again: "One dynasty, one courtier." See Yang Zongbao's eyebrows Frowning slightly, Chai Wenyi spoke slowly again. "Since my cousin came to Bichuan with me, he must have already understood the cause of my aunt's death. As the saying goes, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be combined. His Zhao family is not benevolent. Why should your Yang family talk to him about morality? What's more, he, the Zhao family, is also in the world. It's not following the destiny, but bullying the orphans and widows, plagiarizing and plundering."

There was a trace of struggle in Yang Zongbao's eyes: "It was the Queen Mother Liu E who killed my mother."

Chai Wenyi sneered: "Cousin, you are so naive. Isn't what Empress Dowager Liu did for her emperor's son? Do you really think Zhao Zhen doesn't know anything?"

"what do you mean……?"

"I might as well tell you the truth, then Zhao Zhen is in my hands now. If you don't believe me, just ask me whether the death of the Chai family and the death of my aunt were all secretly ordered by him?"

Yang Zongbao was taken aback when he heard the words: "You said the official... is here?"

Chai Wenyi smiled and said nothing, got up suddenly and said: "It's late at night today, my cousin has been exhausted all the way, so it's good to have a rest for the night." He leaned over and whispered in his ear. "Anyway, we have plenty of time, so it's not too late to discuss it slowly." After finishing speaking, he ordered his servants to lead Yang Zongbao to the wing to rest.

Entering the room full of doubts, Yang Zongbao sat at the table meditating with his eyebrows locked.Until the sound of bang gongs sounded outside the house, Fang Jing realized that it was the ugly time.Standing up to the basin stand to get water to cleanse the face, who would have thought that from the copper basin could vaguely see the black reflection on the hidden beam.

"Who?!"

Before he could turn around, he felt a chill in his ears, thinking it was a dagger on his shoulder, until the person behind him turned to him, he saw clearly that it was the silver chopsticks on the table for holding food.Yang Zongbao saw that the visitor was a stranger, and asked in surprise, "Who is your Excellency?"

"it's me."

Two short words, but Yang Zongbao has already understood: "It turns out to be the guard Zhan. Are you all right?"

"This is what Zhan should say to General Yang." The disguised Zhan Zhao took back the silver chopsticks.The direct gaze was too sharp, so that Yang Zongbao looked a little dodged.Thinking that the person in front of him who has always been respected by him might also have a hand in the rebellion of King Chai's residence, it was like the helplessness of knowing that his mentor was involved, but it was more of a kind of resentment, which made people feel chest pain.After thinking about it again and again, the wording of the exit is still somewhat cautious: "The general left his post without permission, to visit relatives or something else?"

Yang Zongbao sighed: "Zhan Huwei is a smart man, since he already knows, why bother to ask? Ming people don't speak dark words, I just ask you: Has the emperor been imprisoned by Wen Yi?"

"So what?"

"I have something to ask him."

Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words.If Yang Zongbao still has a little bit of Zhao Zhen in his heart, with the Yang family's loyalty and patriotism, he will definitely use honorific words. At this moment, he directly calls Zhao Zhen "he". There is a grudge in my heart.Walking around the table, Zhan Zhao put the silver chopsticks back in their original place. "I remember that General Yang is ten years older than His Majesty. When he was a child, he would often secretly take His Majesty out of the palace to play in Tianbo Mansion. It can be said that he watched His Majesty grow up. His Majesty's character is better than Zhanmou. The general should know better."

"When I was three years old, I saw that I was talking about ordinary people's children. As for the Ninth Five-Year King, this general can only say that the emperor's heart can't speculate."

"Your Majesty has been cared for by Princess Chai since she was a child, and she is regarded as a model of a loving mother. I remember that on the day of the Princess's funeral, His Majesty visited Tianbo Mansion in person despite the Queen Mother's objection. When he saw the coffin being lifted out, His Majesty hid behind Zhan and burst into tears. The Emperor's heart is of course It is impossible to speculate, but if the emperor clearly spreads his innocent heart in front of everyone, if he still refuses to see it, then it is not because of his inability, but because he has turned a blind eye."

"Guard Zhan, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Your Majesty has the Yang family in his heart."

Yang Zongbao was taken aback when he heard the words, then sneered and said: "Guard Zhan is a close official, so he has the capital to guess the emperor's heart. But I am just a small border guard, how dare I rely on my childhood friendship to rely on my humerus? Minister? The Yang family dare not belittle themselves."

Zhan Zhao stared sadly at the indifferent person in front of him, feeling like meeting him for the first time.In a trance, thinking of Zhao Zhen's resolute expression that promised him to protect the Yang family and his family that day, he couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, and the internal injuries that were forcibly suppressed in his body suddenly twisted, and his face turned pale instantly.Fortunately, after changing his face, he couldn't see his original expression, Zhan Zhao turned around calmly to avoid Yang Zongbao's probing eyes, feeling that he had no intention and power to persuade him.

"It seems that no matter what you say today, General Yang won't listen to you. Since that's the case, Zhan won't waste his words anymore. Please!—"

The dungeon was cold and damp, and there was a faint smell of rancidity.Zhao Zhen sat cross-legged on the messy haystack, holding a moldy steamed bun in his hand, and had been in a daze for several hours, not knowing what he was thinking.

The inspecting yamen servant stretched his neck to take a look, showing displeasure, and spat hard: "Boy, you're a prisoner and you're picky and picky. If you don't like it, just return the steamed buns. I'll take it, sir." Go feed the dog!" Zhao Zhen didn't respond after waiting for a long time, and felt bored, so he left cursing.

It has been three full days.The dungeon was dark, and Zhao Zhen counted the days only by listening to the sounds.In the past three days, no one has ever been to the dungeon except for the occasional food served by the yamen servant, Zhao Zhen seemed to have been forgotten by everyone.But as an emperor, he didn't have any dissatisfaction. Instead, he secretly felt lucky that no one cared about him, which happened to explain a problem——Zhan Zhao was safe and sound, but Chai Wenyi hadn't found him yet.

As a prisoner, Zhao Zhen no longer has any illusions about his situation, and takes every step counting.The only thing he cares about and misses is the person who is floating and sinking between life and death, who has touched his heartstrings time and time again.This is the first time that I have deeply experienced the bitterness of longing, and it is also the first time that I can repeatedly piece together the fragments of memory and chew the joys and sorrows of the past when I calm down alone.

I don't know how the Zhanwei is doing now?Can that divine doctor Lu cure him?No, no, it's better not to heal him so quickly. If Zhan Huwei finds out that he has been arrested, he will definitely try to save him. If this is the case, it will be troublesome. If he falls into Chai Wenyi's trap, what is the effort and sacrifice he made before? Not in vain?

After vigorously raking his dirty hair, Zhao Zhen murmured to himself, "It would be great if I hadn't been caught..."

A cold snort suddenly came from the empty dungeon, and a ghostly figure floated outside Zhao Zhen's prison in the blink of an eye.The purple cloak was lifted to reveal an unforgettable face.The man in purple sneered: "You also know that you are a waste? I wasted a lot of time and energy."

"It's...it's you?!" Zhao Zhen was startled when he saw Zi Jin appear at the first moment. After being shocked, he jumped up and rushed to the edge of the prison, but when he saw a group of white silks and ghosts rushing in, After the girls came in droves, he immediately realized that something was wrong, especially at Shang Baiyi's meaningful and sinister smile, Zhao Zhen took a few steps back vigilantly.

Bai Yi's playful eyes glanced over Zhao Zhen without a trace, but when he met Zi Jin, he was only respectful: "Master, it's all settled."

"What's the matter? How did you get in? You and Chai Wenyi really belong together?"

"Noisy!" Hearing the words, Zi Jin turned her head to stare at Zhao Zhen, and shouted, "I haven't asked you yet, why are you questioning me?!" He waved his sleeves. "Let me ask you, are you Duan Zhongyi, the prince of Dali? That day you asked me for help at the inn, and the person you wanted to save was Zhan Zhao?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.The weird man in front of him was moody. Before finding out the truth, Zhao Zhen thought it was better to keep it in reserve. "It doesn't matter who I am, why do you ask if it's Zhanwei? Do you know him?"

"Answer what I said, don't make me say it a third time!"

As soon as Zi Jin's icy aura opened up, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but feel cowardly. He thought he couldn't just confront him, so he simply tried another way: "If you knew that the person in the inn was Zhan Zhao that day, what would you do?"

Zi Jin's eyebrows were raised high, showing such an expression on his face, he muttered: "Sure enough, it was him, it was him who was in the inn that day..." In a daze, his breath suddenly became hurried, thinking of the day when he missed Zhan Zhao, Zi Jin I would like to be angry and vent my anger on Zhao Zhendao. "You are not only a waste, but also a fool! Since the person who asked me to save was Zhan Zhao, why didn't you make it clear that day?"

With Zi Jin's clear expression and tone, Zhao Zhen can figure it out even if he is an idiot.If it is said that Zi Jin and Chai Wenyi are in the same group, it is absolutely impossible, that day they had confronted Chai Wenyi's men in front of the inn.What's more, today "people are swordsmen, I'm fish and meat", with Chai Wenyi's self-confidence, he has long believed that Zhan Zhao, who is now trapped in Bichuan County, is a turtle in the urn, otherwise he would not have been cold for so long. What is he worth now? The other side tried every means?That's right, as soon as this person came, he asked him if he was the Prince of Dali, presumably he was entrusted by someone to save Duan Zhongyi.It doesn't matter, let's find a way to pretend to go out first!

"Are you... my father sent me to save me?"

"Who would obey that ungrateful old man of yours? If Mr. Buju hadn't entrusted me with this, I wouldn't even bother to go this way." Zi Jin said it confidently and proudly, but she didn't know that all the white silk girls behind her were dripping in their hearts. Khan: If it weren't for the widespread manpower and the search for Zhan Zhao, why would the master have to rescue the Prince of Dali first to obtain Zhan Zhao's trace?

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed: "That's very good, you rescue me quickly, Zhan Zhao is in danger now, and Chai Wenyi is hunting him all over the city."

Zi Jin frowned slightly, and said in a choked voice: "Although Zhan Zhao's kung fu is not as good as mine, there are not many people in the world who can hurt him. Chai Wenyi...Hmph, it's not that I underestimated that kid. That's the thing."

"No matter how capable Zhan Huwei is, he can't beat four hands with two fists. In addition, Chai Wenyi is sinister, vicious and scheming. It doesn't matter if he relies on his intelligence, intelligence and martial arts, but do you know that Zhan Huwei is seriously injured now? Still in a coma?! If I hadn’t heard that Bichuan had come to a genius doctor called Lu Mengjian, and was forced to save him from dying, do you think I would be so stupid as to venture into Bichuan and throw myself into the trap?”

"Lu Mengjian, the master of medicine?" Bai Yi said with surprise on his face, "Master, the person I mentioned to you last time can heal your face and hand injuries is this person. I didn't expect him to be in this Bichuan City. Let's go find him!"

"Shut up! When is it your turn to speak here?!" Hearing that Zhan Zhao's life was dying, Zi Jin's heart was tightened instantly.Suppressing the anger in his heart, he continued to ask Zhao Zhen: "Duan Zhongyi, please tell me carefully, what's going on?"

Time was running out, and it was inconvenient for Zhao Zhen to explain in detail from the beginning to the end, so he chose to speak concisely at the Bugui Inn, but when it was mentioned that Zhan Zhao saved his life regardless of his life, Zhao Zhen couldn't help being moved, and his words felt sad Get sad.When Zi Jin heard that Zhan Zhao's life was really hanging by a thread, her heart ached so much that she could hardly restrain it.That's right, I fainted from an inexplicable heartache that day, if Zhan Zhao hadn't had an accident, how could he have reacted like that?The more he thought about it, the more it hurt, and the more it hurt, the more he thought about it. When he thought of ignoring Zhao Zhen's call for help that day, so that the man almost died, he regretted it so much that he hated himself deeply.But more is to vent anger, hate Zhao Zhen, and hate Chai Wenyi even more.When the constantly churning hatred accumulated to a peak, he suddenly punched the iron bars of the prison and smashed him in.

"Chai Wenyi, okay, you're fine! I really shouldn't have let you go, so that I raised a tiger. How dare you hurt him?! I will make your life worse than death!"

One hates and the other mourns, the emotions are contagious to each other.Zhao Zhen couldn't help but continued talking, and when Zhan Zhaowan was mentioned, he exhorted him one by one as if he was explaining the funeral, a mist filled his eyes, and he almost shed tears.Trapped in hatred, Zi Jin turned her sideways and didn't pay attention, but Bai Yi saw all this, with a trace of viciousness flashing across her eyes, she knew very well that the lie with Bai Ba this time might not be consummated , since that's the case, I'm not afraid to drag one more person into the water.

Wiping away unnecessary tears, Bai Yi pretended to be touched and said: "So, the prince and Mr. Zhan really have a deep affection!" Especially the last four words "deep affection", the tone is raised, don't have an allusion meaning is inside.

Zi Jin was startled when he heard the words, as if he had been reminded, he suddenly looked at Zhao Zhen, stared at Zhao Zhen for a long time, and then said coldly: "What is your relationship with Zhan Zhao?"

Zhao Zhen looked bewildered, not knowing why Zi Jin asked this question. "What's the relationship? Isn't it just a friend..."

"It's so simple?" Zi Jin turned around and took a few steps, then suddenly turned around and stepped on one foot, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground, Zhao Zhen retreated in shock, and the momentum continued until Zhao Zhen's feet before he could stop .

"You're - tempted by him?"

"What do you mean? I...don't understand." There was a sudden strong shake in my heart, the words that I should not understand, but Zhao Zhen understood them, and I was terrified and at a loss what to do.

"You know! If you feel like I do."

Thunder!Zhao Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Zi Jin dumbfounded.The word "you" was in my mouth for a long time, but I couldn't get it out.

It's unbelievable!

He thought it was inconceivable that Bai Yutang fell in love with Zhan Zhao regardless of Lunchang, but now a ghostly man popped out of nowhere and said he was interested in Zhan Zhao. ... No, think about it carefully, compared to the person in front of him, Bai Yutang is more reserved. This man has clearly expressed his feelings from the very beginning!

"In this world, I just want to get the heart of one person, so that he will never look at anyone except me. How about it, can you give it? As long as you can give it, it's no problem to save you ten times or dozens of times. Saving hundreds of people and thousands of people will not be difficult for me. Whether you tell me to kill people or save people, I will do whatever it takes.”

So it turned out he was talking about Zhan Zhao!It turned out that Zhan Zhao was the one he wanted!It turns out that he can do everything for Zhan Zhao!

Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that he couldn't think anymore, and all his words were held in his chest, like a stick in his throat.

Zhao Zhen can recall what Zi Jin said that day, and Zi Jin can't help but recall what Zhao Zhen said that day.

"If I offend you, you don't need to save me, but the man in the inn is very important to me, very important, just treat it as... just treat it as..."

"Just as I beg you, I beg you, as long as you save my friends in the inn, the conditions I said will also stand.... I beg you... I beg you!"

The dignified prince of a country humbly begs others for the sake of a foreigner, abandons pride and self-esteem, is it just the friendship he talks about?Zi Jin didn't believe it.Words can deceive, but the look of a person's heart cannot deceive his eyes.The strange purple eyes suddenly flashed out, and he could clearly see the other party's deep feelings before and the guilty conscience at the moment.

Besides Bai Yutang, is there another opponent?

"Duan Zhongyi, has anyone told you that coveting other people's things requires life to pay for it?" Zi Jin smiled charmingly at Zhao Zhen, seeing his frightened and stiff body, Zi Jin then turned to laughing loudly .

opponent?This trash in front of him is also worthy of being his opponent?Besides identity, what else can you get out of it?

But as long as he thinks that this person also has other thoughts about Zhan Zhao, he feels irritable and disgusted.If he raised his hand earlier in the past, but since he made an oath in front of Zhan Zhao, it cannot be easily broken.That's all, let's leave a dog's life, let him destroy himself!

Seeing that Zi Jin suddenly waved his sleeves without warning and turned around to leave, Zhao Zhen hurriedly shouted: "Wait, didn't you have been entrusted by Mr. Buju to rescue me?"

Zi Jin stopped her pace, but didn't even look back: "I've changed my mind."

"Then Zhan Zhao..."

"Do you want to say that you can lead the way to Zhan Zhao?" Turning around, his eyes were as cold as ice edges. "Are you stupid or am I stupid? If Zhan Zhao hadn't moved to another place to hide, he would have been found long ago." Suddenly he smiled, as if the ice and snow had just melted, but for some reason, Zhao Zhen felt that smile was even colder than before. Bitter cold. "Now, I have answered your request to save the most important person in your heart. Why, is it more important to face a catastrophe, or your own life? Then you can ask me, and I may think about it."

How could he not hear the sarcasm and ridicule hidden in the words, Zhao Zhen knew that if he bowed his head and begged this person now, he would no longer be qualified to love that person.He may be timid in the face of many things, but as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he is by no means a spineless person.

"You go. Remember your promise, you must protect him."

The smile faded away.Zi Jin stared closely at Zhao Zhen, his hot eyes seemed to burn two holes in him.And Zhao Zhen also looked at him fearlessly, with a calm expression.

"You don't need to say it."

He flicked his sleeves angrily, just like when he came, and all the people left like a whirlwind.

When everything was calm, Zhao Zhencai sat cross-legged on the haystack again, staring blankly at the moldy steamed buns in his hands, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "I don't want to be with you every day, I just want to protect you silently." Qualifications……."

The author has something to say: Alas, I caused trouble for myself, because I added roles to Xiaobai and Xiaozi before, so it was different from the original design.
