Looking at the mountains and rivers

The incense in the incense burner was burned out at five o'clock, and a little smoke lingered and gradually dispersed, leaving only a room full of spring.The two teenagers on the big vermilion bed had been having fun for a long time, until now they hugged each other and lay down.

There are still a few tear stains on Yang Yan's face, but it is the evidence of extreme joy. The sweat on the forehead is not yet dry, making a face like white jade washed with clear water, shining and moving.

Wei Changxuan touched his face lightly, only then did he notice that the corners of his mouth were slightly red and swollen, it seemed that it was because he had sucked the kiss too hard just now, and when he glanced down again, he saw that his jade-white neck was covered with Honghen couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Yexi, I'll stay in the mansion to take care of you these few days, don't let Fang Ming and the others change your clothes for you."

Yang Yan frowned slightly, apparently still not understanding, so: "Huh?"

Wei Changxuan saw that he looked confused, so he had to explain: "I just forgot my feelings and left a mark on you. If they see it..." He scratched the bridge of Yang Yan's nose, and said with a light smile, "I must think I bullied you Woolen cloth."

Yang Yan nodded with a half-knowledge, and said softly: "Actually, it's okay to let Fang Ming know."

Wei Changxuan understood what he meant, and said in a low voice: "Yes, he will know sooner or later, but... I don't want others to see you like this."

Yang Yan was slightly taken aback. He heard the deep meaning in Wei Changxuan's words, and couldn't help but blushed slightly, and buried his head in the other's neck.

Wei Changxuan gently hugged his shoulders, and sighed softly: "I understand what you said a little bit now, and I also want to hide you so that no one can see you."

He stroked Yang Yan's head again and again, and suddenly felt that it would be great if Yang Yan was really a little lamb. He could hide him in his arms, ride a horse and run desperately, from dark to dawn, away from the hustle and bustle, never ending.

"Wei Changxuan," Yang Yan suddenly called him softly, "What are you thinking?"

Wei Changxuan came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." He looked up and looked out the window, "It's almost dawn, why don't you sleep?"

Yang Yan shook his head gently: "I don't want to sleep," he hugged Wei Changxuan's waist, and said dreamily, "I want to hold you like this forever, and I hope this night will never pass."

Wei Changxuan paused, and thought to himself, so we were thinking the same thing.He lowered his head to look at Yang Yan, and suddenly said: "Yexi, if there is anything going on in the future, don't keep it in your heart, tell me everything, okay?"

Yang Yan raised his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he understood what he meant: "Wei Changxuan, if you knew what my elder brother did to me from before, would you still stop me today?"

Wei Changxuan was startled for a moment, he patted Yang Yan's head wordlessly, and said after a while, "Yexi, do you still remember about my adoptive father? If the adoptive father hadn't devoted himself to raising and teaching him, we wouldn't be here today." Wei Changxuan. Although he came from a humble background, he has been upright all his life and has never been ashamed of the grace of the emperor. In the end, he was killed by Captain Xie with a cup of poisoned wine."

He hadn't mentioned Tian Wenli's matter for a long, long time, Yang Yan heard that his voice was completely different from usual, it was a little scary, so he listened silently without speaking.

"There is also Chen Shao. I remember that in the past, he taught me sword skills for the first time in the back garden of the palace. At that time, his elder brother had just died in battle, and he died very tragically. He was very angry. I comforted him and said, if there is a chance in the future, I will Fight side by side with him to avenge his brother. Then, we really went to the battlefield together to kill the enemy together. However, when I saw Ashina Nur, instead of being able to kill him, I watched him kill Chen Shao." Wei Changxuan's voice trembled, and he clenched his teeth, obviously remembering what happened that day.It took him a long time to calm down, and said in a low voice, "Yexi, I mentioned these things just to say that I know what it feels like to hate. One of the people I hate the most in this world is Xie Xie, One is Ashina Nur. If there is a chance, I will never spare them, so if you want to kill Yang Dai, I will not stop you. It's just..."

Yang Yan interrupted him: "It's just that you can't see me slowly torturing him, can you?"

Wei Changxuan was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Yexi, I don't want you to become too resentful and not like yourself anymore. You are not a cruel person by nature, even if you torture him or humiliate him, you will not will be happy, won't it?"

Yang Yan didn't speak, he just grabbed Wei Changxuan's hand silently, after a long time, Fang nodded slightly.

After the knot was resolved, the two were still not sleepy, Wei Changxuan looked straight at the curtain on the top of the bed, and said softly: "It turns out that Yang Dai tortured you in every possible way before, and asked you to tell the last words of King Xianmu because he was worried about him. Tell you the real cause of your mother's death, will you?"

Yang Yan nodded.

Wei Changxuan suddenly felt confused again: "So, King Mu knew that the person who murdered your mother was Yang Dai, so why didn't he punish him, and handed over the throne to him?"

Yang Yan said indifferently: "Father naturally has his considerations. Thanks to the support of Donghu forces for his position as King Mu, his successor must choose a son with Donghu blood. I am already blind, and he can no longer lose his elder brother. Therefore, he Prefer to pretend not to know."

He paused, and then said: "Actually, the four of us are not the heirs my father hoped for. I don't need to say, the second brother comes from a humble background and has no fighting spirit, and the third brother is frivolous. Speaking of which, Eldest Brother can be regarded as a person with some means in the city. If I were the father, I would choose him." He smiled inexplicably, "But the father has seen the ambitions of the eldest brother and the third brother. There is something, Never let them know."

Wei Changxuan was a little strange: "What's the matter?"

Yang Yan said in a low voice: "Brother originally forced me to say my father's last words, just thinking about whether the evil things he had done would be exposed, but I didn't know that there was another bigger thing, more important than these old enmities. " He raised his eyes and suddenly asked, "Wei Changxuan, do you know Yanyu's Khan Ashinayantu?"

Wei Changxuan naturally knew and nodded immediately.

"My royal father made a private covenant with Yantu 20 years ago."

Wei Changxuan was startled: "20 years ago, when our court and Yanyu were in conflict, King Xianmu made a private alliance with the people of Yanyu at that time. If people knew about it, wouldn't it be..."

Yang Yan nodded nonchalantly: "That's right, if people find out, it's a crime of treason, and everyone will be executed." He could hear the seriousness in Wei Changxuan's breath, and couldn't help but smile, "Aren't you surprised, how could you do such a reckless thing with your father's city?"

Wei Changxuan remained silent, obviously waiting for his next words.

Yang Yan got up slightly, and rubbed his forehead against his chin. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Wei Changxuan, I don't seem to have told you about the Tuoba family."

"No." Wei Changxuan shook his head, he had stayed in Mu Wang's mansion for so many years, and he knew very well the struggles among the brothers of the Yang family.But Yang Yan seldom mentioned his grandfather, let alone his mother's family. Wei Changxuan really knew very little about his mother's family, the Tuoba family.

"Do you find it strange that the Tuoba family is very prominent in Donghu, and my grandfather is the head of the Tuoba family. With his status, he should have a group of wives and concubines. Why is he alone now, with only me at his knees?" Mother a daughter."

This matter is really strange, and Wei Changxuan was also puzzled, but Yang Yan sighed softly: "Speaking of it, it's all old things."

"Originally, the Northwest Protectorate outside Anyang used to be a small country called Qi Fan. The Qi Fan country was small and weak, sandwiched between Dazhao and Yan Yu. They were extremely afraid of these two neighboring countries and did not dare to neglect them. Qi Fan In order to build a good relationship with the neighboring country, the king specially held a feast on his birthday and invited distinguished guests from Dazhao and Yanyu. At that time, the one who was invited to Qi Fan was my grandfather. Patriarch Ba's youngest son is so proud that he doesn't pay attention to the little Qi Fan at all. There is a gilt and silver pagoda in Qi Fan country, which is their national treasure. It is said that on the night of the full moon, the moonlight shines on the top of the pagoda , can reflect infinite brilliance. It was the full moon that night, and the lord invited all the guests to appreciate the national treasure. His grandfather disdained it, but at the end of the brilliance, he saw a stunning woman, who was the princess of Qi Fan Kingdom. At that time, he thought it was A goddess descended from the sky, fell in love with her at first sight, and couldn't extricate herself. Unfortunately, he was not the only one who saw the princess that day, but also Yanyu Khan Ashinamodo at that time. Three days later, the princess was taken away by Modo Qi Fan became Yan Yu's side Yan family."

"With Duke Tuoba's temperament, he is willing to watch his beloved marry someone else?" Wei Changxuan wondered.

"Of course my grandfather was not reconciled, but he didn't show it until five years later, when he took over the position of Patriarch and took over Donghu's military power in his hands. No one expected that this young Patriarch would be the first Patriarch after succeeding. One thing was to lead troops to attack Qi Fan. It was the autumn of the 14th year of Jiande. After Qi Fan, Grandfather led troops to attack Yanyu again, almost approaching Yanyu's Yazhang. Khan Moduo also panicked, and finally gave the clan of Siyan to Grandfather to negotiate peace with him." Yang Yan said At this point, he sighed softly, "Grandfather's wish came true, he was overjoyed, and brought the princess back to Hexi. The princess had lived in Yanyu Yazhang for five years, and gave birth to a prince for Moduo, a nobleman of Donghu. They naturally refused to let her become the hostess of the Tuoba family, but the grandfather did whatever he wanted, and with thunderous tactics, he subdued everyone and made the princess his wife. Later, the princess gave birth to a daughter for the grandfather, and soon Then he died of illness, and my grandfather never married another woman.”

Wei Changxuan was stunned for a long time before he said in a low voice, "So this princess is your grandmother."

Yang Yan nodded: "The prince born to Modo by my grandmother is the current Khan Yantu. He became a Khan in recent years. Because his mother was sent to negotiate peace, he was in Yazhang. Nei suffered a lot of neglect and humiliation. After Mo Duo got old, his temper became more violent, and he hated this son very much, and wanted to drive him to Kucihai."

"Kucihai?" Wei Changxuan was a little surprised. "I heard about this place when I was in the frontier. It is said that it is the northernmost part of Yanyu. There is only one glacier that does not melt all year round. It is an extremely cold and dangerous place."

"That's right. Yantu knew that his trip was like being exiled. He was worried about his young son. He was worried that taking him to such a cold place would kill him, so he wanted to entrust his son to others before leaving. Everyone in Shi Yanyu knew that he was rejected by Khan, and no one dared to lend a helping hand. He was desperate, and finally thought of my mother." Yang Yan rested his head on Wei Changxuan's arm sleepily, and said in a low voice, "At that time, my grandfather was about to rebel against Dazhao, but was recruited again. The court sent a large number of people to keep a close eye on the northwest border. Grandma finally received the news and wanted to help this half-brother. , but still couldn’t find a chance to meet him. Soon after, the chariots and horses of the father and the king came to Hexi, and they were going to pick up the mother to Jian’an for the big wedding.”

Wei Changxuan had vaguely guessed what happened next, and asked in a low voice, "It was your mother who brought King Xianmu to see Yantu?"

Yang Yan nodded: "Yes, at that time Panmenguan was guarded by the forbidden army, and only the father's warrant could leave the pass. The two of them avoided other eyes and ears, rode out of Panmenguan, and went to see Yantu. I must not have imagined that this is what the father would do. At that time, the two countries were sworn enemies. As a prince with a heavy army in his hand, he set foot on the enemy's territory alone, which was no different from going to death. Wasn't he I don't have any worries, and I don't even know whether Grandma is taking him to see his elder brother, or whether she is unwilling to marry him and wants to kill him." When he said this, he smiled softly, "My father said that the weather was extremely bad that day. Well, the grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, he looked at the back of his mother riding a horse, and just thought, if this woman really took him to die, he would never regret it."

When Wei Changxuan heard him talking about his parents, although he had a slight smile on his face, there was an indelible sadness between his brows, and he couldn't help but gently stroked his head.

Yang Yan rubbed against his palm, and continued: "Yantu did not break his promise, he did not bring his men and horses, he only brought his youngest son to see grandma. They chatted for a long time, and finally the father and Yantu made an appointment A covenant, he brought Yantu's youngest son back to Jian'an to raise him, and sent him back to Yanyu when he was 15 years old. Yantu promised that if his father entrusted him with anything in the future, he would do his best to help. Yantu only had a pair of Daggers, he took out one of them and handed it to his father as a token."

"You know what happened later. The youngest son was Tuoba. The father raised him for ten years according to the agreement, hid the news from the top and bottom of the mansion, and finally sent him back to Yanyu. He didn't expect that the later Prince Yantu of Zhizhi became Yanyu's khan, and he did not disclose this covenant to anyone, because no matter who knows, it will cause an uproar." Yang Yan paused slightly, and then said, "Father is dying. Telling me about this is because I don't want my eldest brother and third brother to know, lest they use this to cheat Yanyu Khan for power and cause disaster. Besides, he may be worried that I will be squeezed out by my brothers, and I will never be able to do so. The place where the foothold is really at the end of the mountain, you can still take a dagger and ask Yanyu Khan for protection."

Wei Changxuan smiled wryly: "King Xianmu probably didn't expect that you didn't need anyone's protection."

He wanted to ask how you will deal with this covenant, but then he suddenly thought of something and was slightly startled: "The dagger as a token, could it be..."

Knowing what he was going to ask, Yang Yan nodded, "It's the one I gave you."
