It's not good to be a courtier

"In the first year of Taichu, Tuoba Ying, as Xianbei's special envoy, congratulated you on your ascension to the throne. You know her tricks better than I do," Feng Yan turned his gaze back to the table. Tuoba Ying was domineering in Xianbei.There were also deaths on the way to the envoy Dayan, but they were covered up, "If you are recognized by her here, she will not let you go easily with her personality."

Murong Qi bowed his head, Feng Yan's eyes showed nostalgia, "Master Huan and the others are here too?"

Murong Qi shook his head, "They should still be on their way. Shen Ruoli found the hidden guards in Dongling to protect you. If the hidden guards were in Dongling, you must be here. You are always like this... so you are confused."

"I can't keep it from you," Feng Yan sighed, "I really don't know what to say about you," he frowned slightly, "You are no longer just a prince who speaks lightly, but you still don't consider the consequences like this."

"If I don't come, you won't go back." Murong Qi shook his long eyelashes, "I'll take you back."

Feng Yan twitched the corner of his lips, slowly slipped the hand holding his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know why you changed your mind..."

"Who said what in front of you?" Murong Qi asked nervously, staring straight into his eyes.

Feng Yan was taken aback, and laughed, "It's nothing, the porridge is cold, eat it quickly." He put a bowl of new porridge in front of him, even at this time, he couldn't ask questions after all, and even faintly rejoiced at himself There is still a little use for him.

The two were drinking porridge when the skinny monkey hurried in from the outside. When he saw Feng Yan, he immediately said, "Your Excellency told you to go out of the city on business, so go now and don't come back for ten days or half a month. You don't have to worry about him. I'll take care of it for you."

"What's the matter? You're in such a hurry," Feng Yan stood up, and the thin monkey pulled him aside and said indignantly, "That Tuobaying mentioned you several times, I didn't think it was very good, so I told my father about it." , let you go out of the city to avoid it."

"Tuobaying, did you call my name?" Feng Yan was stunned for a moment, "You mean..." He gave the thin monkey a meaningful look, and the thin monkey said angrily, "What else can I do? I think she is really used to being domineering in the competition, thinking that our Jicheng is also in the competition."

"You have to go back to Chibi after all, it's not appropriate to confront her head-on." Feng Yan turned around and glanced at Murong Qi, "I was going out of town, I have something to do."

"Go and see sister-in-law too, don't let her go back to the city rashly, I heard that Tuobaying is very tricky, who knows what will happen to her," the thin monkey said irritably, "I'll go back first, the county government is in chaos now A bunch."

Feng Yan nodded and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you don't have to be too tolerant in everything," the two were talking when the door was kicked open suddenly, and a guard in silver armor walked haughtily After entering, the thin monkey's expression changed, and he scoffed: "It seems that she really couldn't wait any longer, and she came here after looking for it."

Before the words finished, Tuoba Ying, who was dressed in a bright blue Hu suit, walked in, looked around with a pair of wonderful eyes, and saw Feng Yan standing at the door, that eyes seemed to have a hook, and said with a smile: "Here, Is it Master Feng's private house? It's sweet and pleasant, no wonder Master Feng doesn't even come back to the county office."

"The princess is just joking, I don't know if the princess is here, what advice do you have?" Feng Yan said indifferently, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't even bend his waist.

A smile flashed in Tuobaying's eyes, and she stretched out her whip and gently picked the blooming flowers in the yard with her soft hands, "I never thought that dahlias in bloom can be seen in remote deserted cities. The Lord is worthy of this trip."

"There are more flowers blooming in the garden of the county office than this one. The princess might as well move there, and the princess will surely feast her eyes."

"Hey, that's not necessarily the case. Not only are the flowers blooming well here, but the people are also worth seeing. Does Mr. Feng think so?" Tuoba Ying smiled gently, not showing the slightest hint of domineering and domineering on weekdays. Shy.Tuobaying looks soft and beautiful, her black hair is tied high behind her head like a waterfall, and she only wears a translucent blue gemstone. Her whole body is refreshing and pleasant, full of heroism. If her style is not too bold, she is still a beauty.

Feng Yan smiled lightly and didn't answer.Tuobaying didn't think there was anything wrong, she stood on the edge of the flowerbed and pretended to look at the flowers for a while, seemingly unintentionally said: "I heard that the case of Linfangyuan was committed by the Yan people, what does Master Feng think?"

"Judging from the evidence at the scene, we don't know who it is, so there are all kinds of possibilities," Feng Yan said solemnly, "The princess is very smart, so he can naturally distinguish the truth from the truth."

Tuoba Ying smiled softly, "The owner of the county is exhausted and has just arrived in Jicheng, but he is not in a hurry to ask about this case. Lord Feng doesn't know something. His Majesty is very angry with Qi Fuluo's mission this time, and now he is dying here Yes, it saves His Majesty a lot of things. I don’t want to mention it, I wonder if Mr. Feng has time to show the princess to have a good look at the scenery of Jicheng."

Feng Yan was stunned, for such a secret was revealed so casually by the princess, it was elusive for a while.He nodded slightly, "I still have some things to do today, please forgive me, the princess, tomorrow I will definitely take the princess to enjoy the scenery of Jicheng."

Tuoba Ying nodded, "Then I'll wait for Mr. Feng at the county office." Then he turned to leave, then turned around and said, "Mr. Feng, please don't miss the appointment. Mrs. Feng and Ms. Feng are guests at my place." As he spoke, he walked away without waiting for Feng Yan's reaction.

The thin monkey said nervously: "Didn't my sister-in-law go back to her mother's house? How could it be... Could it be that she is lying."

Feng Yan shook his head, "There's no need for her to tell this lie, courtesy first and then soldiers, this Princess Nalan is not an ordinary person, nor is she not favored as rumored." He turned to look at Murong Qi standing in the door, wondering What he was thinking about with his head down, Feng Yan didn't guess and would not be stupid enough to guess, because no matter what he was thinking, he would never guess it, it has always been like this, and it has never changed.

After leaving the city, it is the wasteland in the northwest where the wind and sand cover the sky and cover the sky. There is no greenery everywhere, only the dark yellow that is always depressing.Murong Qi sat in front of Feng Yan, and the horse walked forward leisurely, "Look, that is Yinshan Mountain, which is very dark. It was still defeated here in the past, but it was recovered a hundred times later. Until now the local When the Xianbei people mention it, they are still full of admiration."

Murong Qi took off the veil covering his face, raised his head and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Take you to a good place," Feng Yan said mysteriously. The two of them stopped and stopped until the sun went down. "The temperature difference between day and night at the foot of Yinshan Mountain is very large, so you need to wear a cotton jacket at night. Go inside Keep walking and don't stop, it must be a good place."

Murong Qi pulled off the scarf, shook off the dust from his head, and turned into the cave. The cave was as warm as spring, "Yes..." He glanced in amazement, and was taken aback by the dense mist, " It's a hot spring."

Feng Yan nodded, "I found out by accident that even at night like this, the cave is very warm. There is also an open place. Nothing is good in the desert. Only the stars at night are the most beautiful. Even There is no such spectacle in the imperial capital."

Murong Qi sat beside the hot spring, took off his shoes and socks, and put his cold feet into the warm water.Feng Yan sat next to him, pointing to the hollowed-out part of the cave, "Look, the stars are coming out..."

The sky is full of stars, like a scroll, Feng Yan looked up, full of joy.There was only a splash, and there was the sound of water in the hot spring. Feng Yan's waist tightened, and he was dragged out of the hot spring by Murong Qi. Feng Yan looked down at Murong Qi in the water, and the red birthmark disappeared at some point. Wushuang's face sank and floated in the water, her bright eyes almost lit up the hot spring, Feng Yan was insane, stretched out his hand to wrap Murong Qi's waist tightly, brought him to him, lowered his head into the water and kissed him, with the last The madness tosses and turns with him.There is no joy, only entanglement.

The night faded and the day came. Feng Yan reached out and gently stroked Murong Qi's smooth back. Murong Qi was so tired that he only moved when the sky was bright. Feng Yan got up and put on his clothes, and a dark figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. , it was Duan Liyi, he said quietly: "Your Majesty..."

Murong Qi raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Yan, then put on a piece of underwear loosely, "Come in..."

Feng Yan put on his clothes and went out of the cave, and those charming and beautiful moments disappeared.Duan Liyi was like the long sword stuck in his chest, the sharpness and coldness emanating from his body reminded him of everything again.Feng Yan pulled up his horse and was about to leave, but was stopped by the dark guard.

After a long while, Murong Qi and Duan Liyi came out of the cave, and Murong Qi walked to Feng Yan's side, "I still have something to do, I'll pick you up when things are over here."

Feng Yan looked at him quietly for a while, "You once promised me that you would not interfere in the affairs of the northern border, didn't you?"

Murong Qi lowered his eyes, "Isn't it because you didn't trust me and thought I did everything when you surrendered the northern border?"

"So, is it you?" Feng Yan asked, Murong Qi looked up at him, opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"Your Majesty..." Duan Liyi called out behind him, Murong Qi paused, "You..." He didn't finish speaking, turned around and slowly returned to the chariot.Feng Yan felt a severe pain in his heart. If the final result was still like this, why did he bother to provoke him again? He had already chosen to end it that way, right?Also, how could he rest assured that a person who exposed him at any time was alive in the world, Feng Yan pursed his lips and watched his back disappear behind the curtain, Duan Liyi stood there with a mocking smile.Everything starts again, and everything will eventually return to silence.

Tuoba Ying sat quietly in the dark room, with black veils on her eyes, the door was gently pushed open from the outside, bright light poured in, illuminating the dark room, Tuoba Ying raised her pretty face, There was a gentle smile on his face, "I knew you would come when you came."

"Return to Bibi immediately, this is not the place for you to stay," said the tall man standing by the door, sideways, with half of his face hidden in the darkness and half exposed to the sunlight.The tough and handsome facial features are shrouded in smoke and dust, making them illusory and ethereal.

"I saw him, he is very similar to you, but he is not as good as you after all," Tuoba Ying said eagerly, "Let me go, I will definitely do well. For you, for us."

"If you don't do well, it will ruin my business." The man didn't have a trace of expression on his face, and he didn't even cast his gaze over. He just placed it somewhere, but it was definitely not on Tuobaying's beautiful face. superior.The door closed with a click, and Tuoba Ying's face full of bright smiles suddenly turned ferocious, "If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be so unhappy. I'm going, I must go."

In the afternoon of September in Jicheng, it was dry and desolate, but the sun was shining on the city, as if a layer of golden blanket had been laid on the ground. This is the most common courtyard in Jicheng, with a square pattern and surrounded by houses on all sides. There is a reclining chair in the courtyard. The person above was lying with his clothes on, with a book covering his face, he didn't know whether he was in light sleep or meditating, he was motionless, very peaceful.

The courtyard door creaked, and the man in blue moved, took down the scroll, eyes still closed, "See? You came back unscathed..."

The visitor stood sideways in the courtyard, the sunlight hit his side face, and the brilliant light seemed to burst out from his body. He stood upright like a god, strong, tall and handsome.The man in blue's eyes became hot, and he got up from the reclining chair, with his hands hanging in front of him, and slowly bowed, "Your Majesty is very honored to come to Jicheng in person."

"I came here specifically to look for King Ling," Murong Qi raised his eyes to look at him, Ye Weiting remained in awe, "I don't know what Your Majesty is looking for?"

"If you were asked to choose King Ling again, would you still choose Feng Zhang?" Murong Qi looked at the sky of Jicheng from a distance, as if he was not paying attention.Ye Weiting was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly, "Ye can't ask for it in his life, and he never had a choice."

"You can't get what you want?" Murong Qi repeated lightly, "I'm afraid it's because you, Prince Ling, are asking for things you can't afford."

Ye Weiting smiled bitterly, "So I will not be reconciled no matter what, even if I go against human relations and the way of heaven..."

Murong Qi turned around, "It's just drinking poison to quench your thirst, stop now, I can look at him and give you the last grace."

"Your Majesty intends to be here again, in front of him, to hurt his closest relative?" Ye Weiting looked at Murong Qi's back, young and full of vigor, strong and fearless. If he was 20 years younger, would he be like this? Will that person's demeanor stop seeing other people?

"You, you, are not his closest person..." Murong Qi opened his lips lightly, "How can there be a closest person who is always thinking about how to hurt him."

Ye Weiting smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, nothing can escape His Majesty's eyes. Feng Zhang is indeed quite hostile to Feng Yan. This hostility does not come from the northern border, but from you, Your Majesty."

Murong Qi raised his eyes, surprise flashed across his face, his eyes flashed a little, and then fell silent, "I don't even remember what he looks like."

"He is very similar to Yan'er. Maybe it's because of this that I feel more lucky in my heart. I still can't see it clearly. Yan'er..." Ye Weiting paused, "He has suffered a lot. Since His Majesty has Make up your mind, he is not a threat to His Majesty, why does Your Majesty want to kill him?"

Murong Qi turned his head suddenly, and looked at Ye Weiting sharply, "Kill them all?"

Ye Weiting suddenly understood the question that he had been unable to figure out before, why Murong Qi had already issued an order to kill Feng Yan, but now he still appeared in Jicheng.It wasn't that he was worried about another failure, but that he never thought of killing Feng Yan, "It seems that His Majesty also made some omissions. Yan'er was assassinated by His Majesty's secret guards when he left the northern border three years ago, and he survived by chance. He must have thought that His Majesty came to Jicheng in person to make a settlement with him."

Murong Qi pursed his lips. At that moment, he didn't know what kind of mood Feng Yan was using to get along with him, so he was desperate and even willing to have fun with him, because he thought it was the end?

When Feng Yan returned to the city, she just pushed open the door of the small courtyard. Wanniang seemed to have been standing at the door for a long time. When she saw Feng Yan's figure, a gentle expression appeared on her face, "I'm back..."

"The princess... didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" Feng Yan stepped forward and hugged Ling'er who was hiding behind Wanniang. Ling'er giggled happily, and she didn't look like she was frightened. , Wanniang said softly: "The princess is very kind, and let us come back after seeing him."

Feng Yan nodded. In the evening, Feng Yan did not rush back to the room after packing up everything. He sat and talked with Wanniang.Feng Yan stroked Ling'er's head and said: "If you are sleepy, go back to sleep first, your mother and I have something to say."

Linger nodded obediently, looked back at Feng Yan step by step, walked to the door and said, "Daddy, can you tell Linger a story tomorrow?"

Feng Yan nodded with a smile, and the girl closed the door of the room.

Feng Yan turned her head, Wanniang bowed her head gently, her movements in her hands were much slower, Feng Yan said softly: "A lot of things have happened in the city recently, I'm afraid I will return to Dayan soon, you and Ling'er..."

Wanniang was full of liking, she looked at each other in a daze after hearing this, her face immediately turned white, "Why do you want to return to Dayan all of a sudden, then what should Linger and I do?"

"Wanniang, I don't want to say anything more about what happened back then. I have been hoping that you can figure it out for the past three years. But now it seems that if I don't leave, you won't be able to figure it out for a day." Feng Yan sighed. It was just a thought of benevolence, but the other party took it seriously.

Wanniang's face immediately turned red like blood, and her voice became extremely shrill, "But I am the wife you are marrying, even though I kept it from you at the beginning, but if you marry me, I will be your wife. I will walk with you , I'm going to pack my things now."

"Wanniang," Feng Yan followed her, seeing her rushing back to the house to rummage through the cabinets, knowing that no matter how she explained, it would be useless, "I know you don't want Ling'er, I will take her away, you don't have to worry, just How about this……"

Wanniang slowly stopped the movements of her hands, her eyes flashed fiercely, she quietly took out a paper bag from her waist, and put it on her hand, "Wait, brother Yan, there will be no meeting date for this farewell," she said slowly. Turning around, Feng Yan paused, "Linger, you can take it away, but..." She slowly walked behind him, "Let me clean up for Linger..."

Feng Yan happily turned around, "You agree..." Wanniang grabbed his wrist, and Wanniang's eyes shone with a sharp light, "You don't want to leave me!"

The window was broken suddenly, and a black fan flew in. Wanniang avoided it sideways, but she never let go of Feng Yan's wrist, and at that touch, the white powder immediately melted and penetrated into Feng Yan's skin.The red clothes turned inside out, clasped the fan and waved towards Wanniang, the strong wind swept around, pulled Feng Yan past, and jumped out of the window.

A few men in black broke into the door, Wanniang's face was uncertain, she stared blankly at the open window, the man in black said: "Boss, do you want to chase?"

"No, he won't be able to escape from the city," Wanniang replied coldly, "Send the news, especially to the Jicheng county government office. The princess will definitely like this great gift."
