When it was time to light the lamp, Liang Zhou lay on the window sill of his room and stared out.

The moonlight is clear, and the fabrics that are drying are swaying in the wind under the moonlight, which looks quite fairy-like.The lanterns hanging in the courtyard give off a hazy halo, illuminating the road leading to the courtyard gate, and the unique scent of incense in summer spreads out, making people drowsy.

Liang Zhou thought, why hasn't Yinghua come yet?We agreed to come over to have dinner together, but there is no sign of anyone until now!

Liang Zhou recalled all the things since he met Yinghua, and his heart was mixed with sweet and sour.The ancestors of the Miao family and the Liang family used to be family friends. Later, the Miao family declined and left Beijing, and the Liang family started a cloth shop business. The two families lost contact for a long time, although Liang's mother would sometimes mention her fingertips. For the sake of the marriage, from time to time he joked that Liang Zhou had a little daughter-in-law in the countryside, but in fact no one took it seriously until Yinghua went to Beijing seven years ago.

At that time, the imperial examination was opened in the central government, and talents were recruited in two categories: civil and military. The official position and the mansion also intend to betroth her daughter to him. Who would have thought that Yinghua would reject the emperor in court and declare that she has a marriage contract, so this time she went to Beijing for the purpose of finding her old friend.At that time, Liang Zhou laughed when he heard the rumors, thinking that Yinghua was a fool, she wanted to find someone who would marry a good-looking princess if she didn’t want to marry her, but when she turned around, she came to her with a bride price Come.

Thinking of the mighty recruiting team that day, Liang Zhou still finds it inconceivable.He was young at that time, at the age when he loved to laugh, make trouble and play. He came back from outside with a group of friends, and he sighed that this was someone's wedding ceremony. How could he be so arrogant? Entered his own door.

When Liang Zhou stepped into the door, he saw a general in blue standing majestically in the courtyard of his house. Hearing Liang Zhou's footsteps, he turned his face, sized Liang Zhou up, and showed a gentle smile.

"Xiao Chuan, I'm Yinghua." He said, "I'm here to pick you up."

At that time, the atmosphere was open-minded, but the news that Wu Zhuangyuan wanted to marry a male wife quickly spread throughout the capital, which aroused heated discussions among everyone.Liang Zhou didn't feel resistance at that time, no matter how he was, he was a man, and somehow he was hired by someone as a girl, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't make it through, and with all kinds of jokes and provocations from his cronies, Liang Zhou left. The family ran away.After that, many things happened, some good and some bad, but one thing remained unchanged, that is, Yinghua was always on Liang Zhou's side.

It was only then that Yinghua gained fame, and he was naturally assigned the hardest and most tiring errands. For the past seven years, he was mostly stationed at the border. Occasionally, when he returned to Beijing, he would be the first to visit Liang Zhou. The book never stops.What did she do today, what did she eat today, what interesting things happened at the border and what scenery, Yinghua always picked up some novel and interesting things to tell Liang Zhou.Some soldiers in the army returned to old age, so he asked someone to bring some local products to Liang Zhou, sometimes it was rough wine made from wild fruits in the border, and sometimes it was handmade gadgets by local people... Even if Liang Zhou was hard-hearted Unable to bear Yinghua's years of loving treatment, he finally opened the door of his heart slowly and let him walk in.That year, Liang Zhou's dyeing workshop had a batch of fabrics to be sent to border cities. He didn't have to do this kind of thing in person, but Liang Zhou found an excuse and sent it in person.He wanted to take a look, see the yellow sand in the desert that Yinghua was talking about, and also wanted to taste the smooth and delicious lamb, the mellow and rich kumiss... Liang Zhou made many excuses for himself, But in the end he had to face his truest heart, he wanted to meet Yinghua.

Recalling the first time the two kissed in the wilderness under the Milky Way, Liang Zhou still blush and heartbeat.It was at that time that Liang Zhou made up his mind that he would stay with Yinghua and never separate again.

Time passed, and seven years passed by. When Yinghua came back from his work report, he told him that he planned to never leave again.

Everyone in the world thinks that fame is good, but Liang Zhou actually considered giving up everything in the capital for Yinghua and going far outside the Great Wall.However, Yinghua misses that he has parents and relatives in the capital, and is willing to give up the official position that she has fought for many years, and become a farmer. This makes Liang Zhou feel both sweet and guilty.

"Oh..." Liang Zhou couldn't help but sighed, why didn't Yinghua come?

Under the moonlit night, it seemed that someone imitated Liang Zhou and sighed: "Alas..." The voice was vague, but dragged on for a very long time, Liang Zhou couldn't help but tremble: "Who?"

In the moonlight, the courtyard was quiet, and no one came to answer him.

Liang Zhou thought he had heard it wrong, but after a while there was another sigh: "Alas..." This time he could hear it very clearly, it was a man's voice, a little muffled and a little weird.

Liang Zhou jumped up, took off the bow and arrow on the wall, opened the door and walked out cautiously.

The moon was shining brightly in the courtyard, illuminating everything around clearly. Liang Zhou pushed aside a few pieces of cloth swaying in the wind, but saw nothing.Another sigh came, and Liang Zhou resolutely set his arrow on the string, and shot it out. The body of the arrow passed through the cloth, and was firmly nailed to the ancient tree in the courtyard. The next moment, Liang Zhou seemed to see a shadow It flew by quickly, but when he caught up to look, he couldn't see anything.

Someone patted on the shoulder suddenly, Liang Zhou suddenly turned around and was about to shoot another arrow, but fortunately the other party was agile and caught Liang Zhou's hand that hooked the string in time.

"What's wrong?" Yinghua came dressed in moonlight, looking at Liang Zhou in surprise.

Seeing that it was Yinghua, Liang Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt scared.

"There seems to be someone here just now." Liang Zhou told Yinghua what happened before.

Yinghua frowned and said, "Wait a minute." He took out his sword and carefully inspected the four corners of the courtyard, then opened the courtyard door and looked outside.

Looking at Yinghua's back, Liang Zhou suddenly felt that something was wrong.What, does Yinghua use a sword?Liang Zhou shook his head, he couldn't remember.

After a while, Yinghua came back and shook her head at Liang Zhou.

Liang Zhou said, "Maybe it's my illusion."

Yinghua also smiled and said, "I'm tired."

Liang Zhou was exposed for his small thoughts, and he felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Who said I was waiting for you, I was taking care of these cloths!"

"Okay, okay, look at the cloth and see the cloth, what you say is what you say." Yinghua pushed Liang Zhou into the room and said, "I encountered some delays, so I told you to wait for a long time."

Liang Zhou also left food for Yinghua in the room, Yinghua smiled and said, "My boat still misses me."

Liang Zhou was a little embarrassed, and said, "I was hungry, so I let the kitchen heat up." He would not say that these dishes would be removed and replaced with new ones every time they got cold.

Yinghua picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, "If that's the case, why don't you join me for a drink?"

Liang Zhou had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks and pour wine for the two of them, chatting while drinking.Yinghua said, "Xiao Chuan, are you free tomorrow?"

Liang Zhou's [-] bolts of fabric had almost been dyed, so he didn't need to do the rest by himself, so he said, "Yes."

Yinghua said: "Then walk around with me."

Liang Zhou said, "Okay."

The two chatted for a while after eating, Yinghua abided by the etiquette, and finally only kissed Liang Zhou's forehead before turning over the courtyard wall and leaving.Liang Zhou touched his forehead, feeling a little strange in his heart, why didn't Yinghua ask him to have a barbecue?After thinking about it, I was taken aback for a moment again. Are you hungry again after eating?He touched his stomach, packed his things and went to sleep a little funny.

Early the next morning, Yinghua really came to look for him.The Liang family has long regarded Yinghua as their uncle. Liang's mother heard that her son was going out with Yinghua today and asked him to come back later, even if he didn't come back, it doesn't matter.Liang Zhou couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know what his mother was thinking every day.

Yinghua is dressed in casual clothes today, restraining the atmosphere of a military general, looking gentle, not like a sword and knife, but like a pen.The two were walking on the street, and from time to time someone who recognized them came to say hello to them.The Liang family has been here for many years and has quite a reputation. In addition, the Liangs and his wife are enthusiastic people, and the neighbors are close to them. The older ones have watched Liang Zhou grow up, so they treat him as their own junior. Hua's gaze was like looking at his own uncle, which made Liang Zhou very embarrassed.

The capital is prosperous, and there are teahouses and restaurants everywhere. Liang Zhou knew that Yinghua hadn't come back for many years, so he led him around.

"This newly opened porridge shop, despite its small appearance, makes delicious porridge, especially the porridge made with shrimps, which is extremely fresh. There was a girl in the restaurant over there when you left last time Waiting anxiously for you to remember, it’s just that there are already two babies.” Liang Zhou introduced to Yinghua while trying to liven up the atmosphere, he could see that Yinghua had something on her mind today.

Maybe it's not just today, Liang Zhou thought, since yesterday Yinghua has actually been a little bit wrong.

The two walked around the market in the city, and then stopped by the Taoist temple on the outskirts of Beijing.Taoism was prevalent in this dynasty, and the emperor often invited some Taoists to live in the palace. There was also a Taoist who was treated like a guest by the emperor.Even so, the Taoist with the Taoist name "Changqing" also entered and exited the palace and entered and exited a place where no one was there. He was in the limelight and no one dared to provoke him.

Liang Zhou himself is not too devout and religious, and Yinghua is a master of killing and fighting, and he is not a church member. The two came here purely because Liang Zhou's mother is a believer. Liang's mother has been in poor health recently, and Liang Zhou I want to ask for some peace talismans for her.After worshiping Sanqing, Liang Zhou went to Xiaodao to ask for a peace talisman. Suddenly, an old Taoist priest waved at Liang Zhou and the others.

Liang Zhou didn't know why, so he glanced at Yinghua, Yinghua frowned slightly, and accompanied Liang Zhou.

The old Taoist sized Liang Zhou up and said, "There has been a catastrophe recently." After speaking, he waved his hand, "It's the number of days, it can't be saved, go prepare for the funeral."

Liang Zhou has never seen such a Taoist priest who sentenced you to death without saying a word.Shouldn't it be fooling around and then selling his own magic weapon to ward off disasters?

Yinghua stepped forward and asked, "Is there any room for change?"

The old Taoist looked at Yinghua again and said: "There is no escape."

Yinghua took a deep breath and reconfirmed: "Is there really no chance of survival?"

The old Taoist looked at Yinghua and said, "Only a little bit of life will fall on you, I'm afraid you won't let it go."

Liang Zhou is on fire, what kind of broken Taoist is this!He was about to roll up his sleeves and curse, but was held back by Yinghua, who said, "Thank you." He pulled Liang Zhou away, and the two left the Taoist temple, leading the horse and walking slowly along the foot of the mountain.

Liang Zhou was still very angry, and couldn't help complaining: "What are you doing to stop me? That stinky Taoist priest made it clear that he saw that we were not pleasing to the eye and made things difficult for us. Don't believe him, this group of swindlers are all like that. , let me first say that you have a disaster of blood and light, and so on, and when it is over, I will take out your purse!" He also felt that it was inappropriate when he said this, because the old Taoist didn't ask them for money from the beginning to the end, and he looked at Yinghua's eyes, It was like looking at a dead man.

Liang Zhou couldn't help shivering, damn it, don't believe that bastard!

Yinghua remained silent the whole time, as if she was thinking about something.Liang Zhou was afraid that he would miss this matter, so he said, "Don't worry, our auspicious people and heaven are in good shape. When you get rid of your official position and don't have to go to the front to fight again, where are the many dangers waiting for us? The cloth will fall into the tank, haha." Liang Zhou deliberately laughed loudly, but Yinghua only smiled lightly.

Liang Zhou was a little scared, he knew that Yinghua had something on his mind, and it might have something to do with the palace, but he was really afraid to think about it.

Yinghua finally said, "Xiao Chuan, let's get here first."

Liang Zhou was a little confused, but Yinghua had turned over and jumped on the horse: "I just returned to Beijing, and I still have some things to deal with in the future, so I will come to you later." After speaking, he kicked his foot and rode away, leaving Liang Zhou somewhat at a loss , a little uneasy.

There was a muffled sound of thunder in the sky, Liang Zhou looked up, but saw dark clouds billowing above the sky, it was obvious that the sky was about to change.
