(II, Looking into the distance)

Under the setting sun, the clouds are all over the sky, and the autumn wind is blowing slightly.

A piece of music is tactful and sad, passing through the woods, distant and elegant.But for some unknown reason, the music contained a sense of helpless mourning.Although it is autumn, the woods are still green and the autumn chrysanthemums are still there, but shouldn't it be so sad?Could it be that something sad happened?A woman followed the sound of the flute full of curiosity.

In the depths of the woods, a young man is sitting on a willow tree. He must be in his prime, right?I saw him closing his eyes and meditating, while playing the flute, Yingxiu's eyebrows revealed a different kind of gentleness, coupled with the white clothes, he looked like a banished fairy.The woman looked at the handsome man in the distance, a little lost in thought.

After finishing the song, the man slowly opened his eyes, and asked coldly: "Miss has been under the maple tree for some time, what advice do you have?"

The woman lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry to bother you..."

In just a moment, the man had come to the side of the woman, exhaling softly in the woman's ear: "Oh, it's okay."

The woman was startled by such a close movement, and moved aside.The man exuded an evil spirit all over his body, and smiled sarcastically.Obviously, even if this woman is not a lady from a great family who has never been out, she must be Xiaojiabiyu, right?When you meet a strange man in the wilderness, you still don't shy away from it?I don't know if it's ignorance or courage!

She bit her lip, looked up at the man's eyes, there was a trace of pity and unruly in the depths, she was a little shocked.In an instant, the shock was replaced by fear—the man put his arms around her slender waist, and his thin lips moved closer to her cheeks.She panicked and wanted to push the man away, but the man's arm was even stronger, he suddenly hugged her, turned and jumped to another tree.

The man stared at her for a moment and sighed softly: "It's so beautiful!"

She cried.The man smiled, lightly, and gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears from her cheeks.

The belated back arrow "嗖", "嗖", "嗖", "土", "土" and "土" nailed to the trunk of the maple tree where the woman was standing just now.The woman understood. It turned out that he wanted to save herself!That group of people seemed to be staring at me a few days ago, and they couldn't get close because of the subordinates beside me, otherwise it wouldn't be easy for me to find myself in the jungle in the time of a song. It should be that I rescued a couple of young people that day The siblings who were young beggars were discovered by them, so they came here to ask for money.

She lowered her eyebrows and said, "Thank you."

The man smirked and said, "How do you thank me? Do you promise me with your body?"

The woman bit her lip: "The marriage requires the consent of the family."

The man raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know how to call the girl?"

The woman lowered her eyebrows: "The little girl's surname is Xiao and her name is Weixue. The night is still young and the first snow is coming."

The man chuckled and said, "Weixue, it really has a good name! It's not a loss for such a beautiful face!"

The woman shyly said: "It's ridiculous."

The man let go, looked at the robber not far away, and said indifferently: "I am Yan Xi, whose appearance is not as good as the past. Go down and have a look first, Miss Xiao is hiding here."

Xiao Weixue stared blankly at Yan Xi: "Towards?"

Yan Xi pondered and said: "It's the next word."

The group of people shot some arrows again, Yan Xi knocked down the arrows with his flute.

Suddenly, a man in black descended from the sky, holding a flute in his hand, and fought with Yan Xi!

The man had a strong killing intent, his move was fatal, Yan Xi twitched his lips, and held the bamboo flute to counter the move.The two people's kung fu is comparable, the moment the short flute and the bamboo flute intersect, they are both broken by internal force.

The man in black first showed a long sword. It was strange to say that there was a hook on the end of this sword?As for Yan Xi, it seemed that he had also drawn out his sword, but he couldn't see anything, only a faint light and shadow could be seen with his eyes.Xiao Weixue stared blankly at the two of them fighting fiercely, and didn't realize that someone beside her was touching the tree.

Just as the two, one black and one white, were fighting fiercely, Xiao Weixue suddenly heard a scream.

Yan Xi sliced ​​through the pure Jun sword of the man in black and rushed to Xiao Weixue's side, but the man in black struck faster - he had already knocked out the two men who wanted to hold Xiao Weixue hostage, and only Xiao Weixue remained He and the other robbers stared blankly at the two and continued to fight.Upon seeing this, the robbers ran for their lives immediately.

Yan Xi shouted lightly: "Bring your brothers!"

The robbers had no choice but to obey and carried away the two accomplices who were beaten unconscious.

Yan Xi suddenly smiled and said: "You bitch Chu, your sword skills and internal strength haven't improved much, but your lightness kung fu has improved!"

The man in black raised his sword and stabbed it back with a smile: "Yan Yaoren, you have abandoned martial arts and followed literature. You can play the tune so well that your kung fu is almost the same as it was two years ago! I don't know what the name of the tune is?"

Yan Xi smiled, moved his sword lightly, and casually blocked the Chunjun, and said: ""I Don't See Chang'an", there are lyrics, are you interested in listening?"

The man in black put away his sword: "Since you are elegant, there is no need to compete with swords. Let's talk about it!"

Yan Xilang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be 'cheaper' than you!"

The man in black was anxious: "Hey, Yan Xi, such malicious slander is too much!"

Yan Xi quietly put the sword into the scabbard, thought for a moment, and said softly: "Chu Mo, why are you so flustered! Oh, I forgot, now there is a beautiful woman by my side, Brother Wuxu wants to win her favor ah?!"

Chu Mo was almost bruised, but suddenly changed into a smiling face and shook his head: "You monster! I can't help you!"

Yan Xi explained to Xiao Weixue lightly: "Miss Xiao, this is my best friend."

Then, Yan Xi gave Chu Mo a wink.

Chu Mo saluted and said, "Chu Mo, don't let the world down. I've seen Miss Xiao."

Yan Xi smiled lightly and said, "Don't you want to lose your beauty?"

Chu Mobai glanced at him: "You are far from your father!"

Yan Xi's expression froze suddenly, he smiled awkwardly, turned and left.

Xiao Weixue didn't know why, so when he asked Chu Mo, he only said that Yan Xi had resigned from his family for many years, but he didn't know the reason.

Yan Xi's father, Yan Lu, was always a gentle and calm man, his smile was almost enough to melt the coldness of everything in this world.Yan Xi's mother must be extremely happy, right?I have only met that gentle and jade-like man once, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life. In this world, there are really not many people who are like banished immortals, and I only met this one person!

Yan Ruyu, the younger sister of Yan Xi's twin, is exquisite, cute, well-behaved and sensible.It's not like Yan Xi who treats people indifferently, only out of love and only in courtesy, and doesn't have more intimate contacts.Therefore, Yan Xi's good friend is only him.

Chu Mo knew very well that Yan Xi was too mature, or remembered too many things, so in order not to damage his body, he had no choice but to indulge himself, even a little unrestrained.He also understands that Yan Xi must not be left behind, which is why the almost cold and arrogant Yan Xi always "dislikes" him for being "cheap".

Chu Mo will never forget the first time he saw that yellow-mouthed child who was 3 years younger than him in Chang'an. He was only 10 years old, but his forbearing eyes revealed extreme desolation!Five years later, when he saw Yan Xi again in Luoyang, that Yan Xi who was only 15 years old but had already left home and wandered around, Chu Mo even remembered the fate he met a few years ago, those vicissitudes of life...

……

Xiao Weixue still suggested Chu Mo to apologize to Yan Xi, but Chu Mo smiled and said: "No need. At this moment, it's better to let him have a drink alone!"

Yes, Chu Mo and Yan Xi have been friends for five years.Although it has been two years since we separated, we still have this understanding!Yan Xi has too many things on his mind, he should find a reason to vent it!Chu Mo sent Xiao Weixue back to the inn.

Coincidentally, Chu Mo and Yan Xi happened to be temporarily staying at the Caiwei Inn.

Caiwei Inn is naturally derived from "Caiwei" in "Xiaoya".I heard that in that year, Zhang Liang, Marquis of Liu, looked at the Luoshui River from here, and softly chanted: "Plucking the weeds and picking the weeds, the weeds are soft and soft. When the day returns, the heart also stops worrying." Then, the owner changed to this name.

Sure enough, Yan Xi's eyes were slightly drunk, but he still continued to order wine.Seeing this scene, Chu Mo couldn't help thinking of Yan Xi five years ago, Yan Xi who was drunk, confided nonsense to him, and even burst into tears.On that day, Yan Xi regarded the 18-year-old Chu Mo who had only met twice as a close friend.Chu Mo is such a loyal person, he is determined to protect him as a big brother!

Chu Mo raised the wine bottle: "Go, come!"

Yan Xi fixedly looked at the man in front of him, and touched Chu Mo's cup.

After finishing the drink, he felt that it was not enough, so he took a few cans of wine to an open space behind the inn, and Chu Mo followed him with the wine.

Yan Xi looked at the bright moon as bright as snow, held up the wine pot, and said loudly: "When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for the wine. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is it? It's too cold. Dance to find out the shadows, it's like being in the world!"

Yan Xi drank the wine on his own.

Chu Mo also sang freely: "The other millet is away, the seedling of the other millet. The walking is sloppy, and the center is swaying. Those who know me say that I am worried. Those who don't know me say what I want. The sky, who is this? !"

……

Yan Xi looked at Chu Mo, laughed loudly and said, "Bitch Chu, tell me, do you like my sister, that's why you pester me?"

Chu Mo also smiled: "Why? Yan Yaoren, no! Your sister is cute and beautiful, of course I like it! If you are not convinced, brother, I will propose marriage to your father some other day!"

Yan Xi smiled, but tears fell, and said softly: "Ruyu is married, we came from Kuaiji... Wuxu, am I not filial?"

Chu Mo shook his head, drank the mulled wine with a smile, and said in a low voice: "In the past, I don't blame myself for being unfilial like me. Why do you have to?"

Yan Xi laughed out loud and even shed tears, how could he not know Chu Mo's mood.People who are also living in pain, when they are drunk under the moon, don't feel sad: "A man doesn't cry easily, because he hasn't reached the point of sadness! Tell me, why do I cry in front of you?" , like a weak woman?"

Chu Mo laughed loudly: "Because you, Yan Xi and Yan Xiangzhi, are both male and female Yan Yaoren! If you cry like a woman, why should you be surprised! Haha!"

Yan Xi smiled and scolded angrily: "Chu Wuxu, you bitch! You are neither male nor female!"

Chu Mo raised the wine jars to touch each other, and drank it violently, as if by doing so, all the sorrows could be forgotten.

Yan Xi suddenly came to Chu Mo's side and laughed wildly: "Haha, Wu Xu, you are crying too! It's really rare in a hundred years! Aren't you my big brother for such a stubborn man, you are so worthless! "

Chu Mo also laughed wildly: "In the past, didn't you just say that you don't shed tears lightly, because you haven't reached the place where you are sad! Forget it, the past can't be chased! Come, come, drink again!"

Yan Xi was drunk with alcohol, and his poetic flavor became stronger: "It's rare to find a confidant! Life is full of happiness, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon!"

Chu Mo also said loudly: "The passing water is like this! The good time and the good scene are so greedy, and I will never get drunk!" Chu Mo suddenly remembered something, and asked: "In the past, didn't you say that today's song has lyrics? What? Come on, big brother, listen!"

Yan Xi was already drunk, hiccupped and said, "Did you remember the tune?"

Chu Mo said "um" (twice) and "um" (four times), already a little drunk.Said: "Remember! Could it be that you want me to play the flute? Didn't my flute break during the martial arts competition with you!"

Yan Xi smiled lightly and pointed to a jade flute protruding from Chu Mo's chest: "Blow it with your baby!"

Chu Mo lowered his head, suddenly, he took out the jade flute and started playing.

Yan Xi sang softly:

"The dew on the green grass leaves under the old trees at the head of the village has not dried up...

...I lay on the roof with my arms under my head and thought all night

Who in the Waxia Hall talked about Chang'an on paper..."

Yan Xi sat leaning against the tree trunk, looked at the moon, and continued to sing:

"I suddenly began to miss Chang'an in the story crazily.

I travel day and night and travel through mountains and rivers, and the road is long..."

"I passed by a small town, the night was as cool as water, the sky was full of moonlight...

...Passing by Luoyang, I saw Miss Hualou embroidering peonies..."

"I gradually began to dream of Chang'an in the story every night.

There are people in Chang'an City who sing three hundred poems to express their joys and sorrows..."

……

After a song, Yan Xi drank a few more sips.

Chu Mo snatched the wine jar, and began to drink it vigorously: "We must get drunk together! We just agreed! Hiccup—"

Yan Xi couldn't help laughing, and pointed at Chu Mo drunkenly: "What a cheapie! Haha! I'll wait for you, together!"

Chu Mo drank the rest of the wine completely, and hiccupped for a long time...

……

Not far away, Xiao Weixue stood silently. She had never seen two big men who could be so bold and unrestrained, even uninhibited.In such a situation, I couldn't help but wonder what happened between the two of them.

The men beside me are all the ones who follow the rules and are so cautious as if they are afraid of going against their own will, which makes them helpless and unhappy.I don't know how long I was in a trance, but when I looked back, the two of them were already drunk and passed out, and it was autumn, and the night was slightly cold, maybe they were going to catch typhoid fever?Then he ordered his subordinates to take them to the room.

At Shen Shi the next day, the two finally woke up.

Yan Xi rubbed his eyes indiscriminately, seeing a strange man in the room, he couldn't help pulling out his sword and placing it around his neck: "Who are you!?"

Seeing this, Xiao Weixue, who was about to get started, shouted, "Stop!"

Yan Xi was stunned, and accidentally scratched the man's neck, blood trickled down slowly.

Xiao Weixue was a little anxious, and took out a towel to wipe it.

The man hid aside, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Miss, this subordinate can't bear it."

Xiao Weixue said softly: "Forget it, it's the doctrine of the distinction between men and women, and the order of superiority and inferiority, so go and prescribe the medicine yourself!"

The man left silently.On Chu Mo's side, such a situation also occurred. Fortunately, Chu Mo was always cautious, only protecting himself, not attacking.Yan Xi hurried to Chu Mo's room, Xiao Weixue followed and gave an explanation.

Chu Mo smiled: "In the past, you will not use your Han Guangjian to face Miss Xiao's subordinates, will you?"

Yan Xi looked a little embarrassed: "My instinct..."

Xiao Weixue looked at the shy Yan Xi, and smiled slightly: "Weixue took the two of you back to the guest room without authorization, please don't mind."

After all, Chu Mo was older, and he saluted and said, "No way. Thank you Miss Xiao, no, Miss Xiao."

Xiao Weixue asked softly: "Let's call it Weixue, I am not the daughter of my father, so there is no need to be like that."

Yan Xi was a little confused: "Miss...Miss Xiao, you are from a rich family...Miss?"

Chu Mo knocked Yan Xi on the head helplessly: "You boy, you really don't care about world affairs! She is the daughter of the late Prime Minister Xiao, and the younger sister of Xiao Lu, Marquis of Bing Ai, and Xiao Yan, Marquis of Bing Ding!"

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he really did not guess wrong, he really is a lady of everyone!He recalled yesterday's behavior that could be regarded as molesting Xiao Weixue: "Uh...Miss Xiao, I offended you so much yesterday, I hope you will forgive me."

Xiao Weixue smiled softly: "It's really too much. However, if you are willing to teach me martial arts, I won't pursue it."

Yan Xi smiled: "Okay!"

Xiao Weixue smiled: "Yes."

Chu Mo smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "Since Weixue ordered Wuxu to address her by her name, Wuxu will be impolite! If so, Weixue will also call us both by their names!"

Xiao Weixue smiled softly: "Yeah. I don't know how old brother Wuxu and his former brother Geng are?"

Yan Xi looked at the woman in front of him, and deeply felt that the so-called smiling without showing his teeth, is that so?Yan Xi smiled: "I will be crowned during the Qingming Festival this year, and now I am 20 years old, half?"

Chu Mo gave him an angry look, and said with a smile, "Weixue, I'm 23, and I'm three years old."

Xiao Weixue said softly, "I'm 15."

Yan Xi thought to himself: only 15?For no reason, he remembered that when he hugged her tightly yesterday, the softness of his chest almost made him blush uncontrollably... He swore that he didn't do it on purpose, at most, he just wanted to scare a little girl like Xiao Weixue who didn't know people's hearts and sinister.If you meet someone who is really evil, I'm afraid...

……

"In the past, you haven't woken up from the wine yet? Why are you blushing so much? Could it be that you have caught a cold?" Chu Mo looked at Yan Xi inexplicably.

Yan Xi smiled awkwardly: "Uh...Maybe he just caught a cold."

Chu Mo pulled Yan Xi past him, and whispered by the window: "Boy, you just remembered yesterday's good fortune! Don't think that I didn't see it, brother. I have known you for many years, and you can control the little thoughts in your heart!"

Yan Xi was more and more suffocated by Chu Mo's filming. After holding it in for a long time, he finally coughed and glared at Chu Mo: You will die if you don't say it!Looking at Yan Xi's depressed mood, Chu Mo couldn't help laughing.

Facing Xiao Weixue's suspicious eyes, Yan Xi explained softly: "Weixue, Wu Xu has symptoms of madness, and sometimes he giggles silly, don't worry about it."

The corners of Chu Mo's lips twitched, and he glared at Yan Xi: "Weixue, he's still drunk, and he's talking nonsense right now."

Xiao Weixue watched the two evade each other, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't make a fuss! So, Brother Xiangzhi teaches Weixue the sword technique, Brother Wuxu teaches Weixue lightness kung fu?"

Chu Mo said seriously: "Uh... sorry, I have received an order from my teacher to go back to the mountain, so I can't teach you."

Xiao Weixue smiled and said: "Then, let's wish brother Wuxu a smooth journey first!"

Chu Mo smiled lightly: "Thank you!"

Yan Xi looked back at Chu Mo: "Wu Xu, when will we leave?"

Chu Mo smiled lightly: "After the Double Ninth Festival."

……

The author has something to say: the historical background of the second volume is the early Han Dynasty, and the style of writing is different from the first volume in many ways.

Xiao Weixue is Xiao He's daughter. As for whether Xiao He has a daughter, I don't know, but he has two sons - Xiao Lu, Marquis of Bing Ai, and Xiao Yan, Marquis of Bing Ding.
