The first favorite of rebirth

Fu Congsi came quickly on a white horse. He was dressed in black with his sword sleeves tightly wrapped around his wrists. Pei Jiqing didn't rein in his horse. Fu Congsi sped up behind him and hurriedly caught up with him.

"I'll go with you." Fu Congsi tightened the reins, and his voice passed through the gust of wind, "I don't understand military affairs, so it's useless to stay there. It's better to go with you, so that I can have someone to take care of me."

"The little prince is very skilled in martial arts, yet he actually said that he is not good at military affairs." Pei Jiqing responded with a smile, "But it's also good, there is someone with me, I always feel more confident."

"Military affairs and martial arts are two different things." Fu Congsi said in a low voice, "We still have a long way to go, so save your energy and stop talking."

Pei Jiqing shut up cooperatively, tightened the reins and galloped forward.The two really didn't close their eyes for three days and three nights, they rode their horses through the Heishan grassland until they reached the gate of Liao Kingdom's capital. The whole person staggered off the horse, like a walking dead.

A few years have passed, the once desolate grassland has turned into a green shade, stretching straight into the capital of the Liao Kingdom like a blue sea, most of them are densely populated and sunny, and the noise from all around is like small needles, piercing Pei Jiqing's brain bit by bit.

Fu Congsi obviously came with him, but his face didn't blush and his heart didn't beat. Even the horse seemed to be fine, so he got off the horse Shi Shiran, stretched out his hand and said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Pei Jiqing took a breath, and didn't intend to ask Fu Congsi to help him, but she dazed a few times, rolled her eyes and fell forward. Fu Congsi raised his hand, still caught Pei Jiqing, and pulled him Carried on horseback.

Under the sun, Pei Jiqing's cheeks were sharpened, and her eyelashes shone down like a fan, drawing a gleam like a butterfly's wing under her snow-white skin, trembling with the wind blowing gently.

Fu Congsi stared blankly for a few seconds, and smiled for no reason. He led the horse to a small stall, and smiled politely: "May I ask how to get to the imperial city?"

"Little husband?"

At noon, with the scorching sun shining golden, Pei Jiqing turned over on the soft couch, and suddenly woke up from the dream. Before he got up, he was already lying down with a big hand, and the person in front of him smiled softly, "Yes!" Do you take medicine first or eat first?"

Pei Jiqing raised his head suddenly, and a handsome face quickly approached. The young man's face was sharp, especially his pair of eyes, the contours of which were cut like knives and axes. The pupils were extremely light amber, like a kitten.

Lin He grinned, and helped him up very intimately. Pei Jiqing looked around and asked in surprise, "I fainted?"

"Yes, you are so courageous." Lin He smiled, and put a golden bowl into his hand. The decoction in it wobbled, reflecting Pei Jiqing's extremely haggard face. He clutched the medicine and tried hard to let himself His fingertips regained their temperature, and then he suddenly raised his head, "I'm here..."

"I know what you are going to do. The little prince has already told me." Lin He turned sideways, and Pei Jiqing saw Fu Congsi sitting behind him. Fu Congsi stood up and said, "I took out the dagger before you fainted." , I don’t mind if you come to the imperial city to ask.”

"Don't talk, your bags under the eyes are growing to the edge of your mouth." Lin He raised the spoon affectionately and poured the medicinal soup into Pei Jiqing's mouth, "It's been so many years, you haven't changed at all, just like I just saw you Like when you..."

Pei Jiqing originally thought that he would say the phrase "the color is like a spring flower", and she was ready to scold in her heart, but she didn't expect Lin He to say: "It's still as mean as before."

Pei Jiqing couldn't help laughing, and patted Lin He on the shoulder like a junior. Lin He was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "I haven't seen Jue Yun for a long time. Look, is he as tall as me?"

"I'm here on business, I'll talk about these gossips later." Pei Jiqing drank the soup in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his hand, "Je Yun has something to do, I brought this dagger just to beg you to send troops..."

"I know it all, your little prince told me." Lin He lowered his head, a hint of sternness flickered in his eyes, he stood up, and he was indeed much taller than before.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but Lin He's complexion is no longer fair as before, but has turned into a layer of wheat color. He is wearing the uniform of the Liao Dynasty, his hair is turned back into braids, and a thick black ponytail is tied behind his head, almost Under the strands of broken hair, the golden studs on the earlobes are faintly visible.

"I will definitely help Jue Yun. In fact, I have known for a long time that his identity is not simple." Lin He took the medicine bowl from Pei Jiqing, stepped back and sat down, his slender legs were covered by deer. The leather boots were wrapped tightly, "It's just that I'm also 20 years old. Since you have something to ask me for, you should offer something in exchange."

Pei Jiqing was stunned for a while before he smiled and said: "The lord is right, but I can't make the decision. When you see Jue Yun, he will promise you money and food..."

"Who said I want those..." Lin He picked up the dagger, twirled it in his hand, and pointed at Pei Jiqing suddenly, "You stay here, and I will launch a feint attack immediately, and I will definitely not touch any land in Dazhou. Not to mention cloth, silk, money and food."

"What do you mean?" Pei Jiqing frowned slightly.

"Literally." Lin He smiled, like a cheetah looking at its prey, "I have always admired your face since the first time I saw you. There are so many beauties in the Liao Kingdom, but I still remember that you ate spring| The appearance of the medicine. When I returned to the Liao Kingdom, I had no relatives, and I thought about you holding Jueyun day and night... You should understand what I am talking about."

Lin He's words were extremely explicit. Of course, no one understood what he meant. These words were also in line with his previous paranoia. Those amber eyes were getting closer and closer, and their sharp eyes were slightly bent, waiting for Pei Jiqing's answer.

"I agree." Pei Jiqing didn't hesitate, her face didn't even turn red, "Then you send troops immediately. What should I do now? Do you want to take aphrodisiac?"

Lin He leaned down and pushed Pei Jiqing down on the soft couch. In the sunlight, Pei Jiqing could already see the fluff on Lin He's cheeks. He stretched out his hand and pulled off Pei Jiqing's collar, and his face slowly approached his. clavicle.

"Young Master, you really haven't changed at all." Lin He stood up with a smile, and put the dagger by his pillow, "I'm not that shameless, you just stay here for seven days, I will send a general to pretend to attack the city, and Fu Congjin All the soldiers and horses are holding back, and I will send you back when the decision is made to seal the king. Take a good rest."

Lin He did what he said, got up and walked out of the room with Fu Congsi. Pei Jiqing put away the dagger and let out a long sigh.

For Lin He to say such a thing, he must be sure.

After the work was done, Pei Jiqing also felt exhausted. After three days of sleepless nights, the pain slowly invaded his brain like needle pricks. Dry pain, eyes closed but no sleep.

Someone seemed to be sitting down in the dark, but Pei Jiqing didn't make a sound, and was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed and dozed off. Lin He glanced at him from a distance, and said softly, "Little Master, are you asleep?"

Pei Jiqing didn't fall asleep, but he didn't reply either. He really felt uncomfortable this time and didn't have the energy to reply.

"After I returned to the Liao Kingdom, my father was completely ill, and I couldn't even see my face clearly. The ministers of the court accused me of colluding with you and deliberately losing the land. I tried my best to kill them one by one. " Lin He slowly sat in the moonlight, with a handsome and straight face, he was about the same age as Jue Yunben, but now he looked more mature, "Although that little prince didn't tell me much, but I know you are It’s really good to have someone to protect Jueyun all the time.”

After saying these words, he sat in silence for a long time before turning around and walking out.

Pei Jiqing lived in Liao Kingdom for seven days. Lin He kept his promise and sent generals to repeatedly harass the border areas, dragging Fu Congjin's army to the northwest, while Jueyun sneaked into Wancheng to capture the generals alive, and replaced them with soldiers at the top of the city. An imperial flag with the character "Fu".

Nearly November, the little emperor's imperial decree arrived as scheduled, gray snow fell in the sky, and rumors spread all over the court and the public: King Huai was benevolent, but died fighting to protect the little prince Fu Yunjue.

Just like the day when Concubine Ming sent him out of the palace, the heavy snow stopped suddenly, and the dazzling morning sun gushed out, just like the blood that Lian Mo continuously shed before he died.

Jueyun stepped on the white horse, with the sword and dragon pattern flowing on his waist.

The prince held the Emperor Sword and returned to the imperial city on the occasion of the New Year.

Around November, the army was firmly stationed at the gate of the capital.At that time, it was snowing all over the sky, and the grassland was white and empty. Pei Jiqing took a carriage and returned to the capital from Liao Kingdom.

Rumors about Jueyun are surging like boiling, how the little prince escaped from the palace on a snowy night, how he fought in the battlefield incognito, how he killed the eldest prince of Liao at the age of 13, and how he was forced to live by the regent. Pretend to have broken sleeves.The images that used to live in the storyteller's population were subverted one by one. The cowardly emperor became a benevolent monarch who couldn't bear to kill his own brother. , And also became a hero who desperately saved the royal blood.

The situation has been settled, so Fu Congjin had no choice but to compromise. He issued an edict of guilt and stayed behind closed doors. Fu Yunhui promulgated the decree, making his long-lost brother a virtuous king. On the first day when the snow fell in the capital, he opened the door to welcome him. The virtuous king with illustrious military exploits advances to Jincheng.

Jueyun was sitting on a tall white horse, his armor was shining with snow and silver, and his black silver dragon cloak was fluttering in the wind.

Pei Jiqing hid among the welcoming crowd, holding two catties of pork and a cabbage in his hand. He looked at it for a long time with his neck raised, and finally turned his head back to the palace. The maid Xiaoqin took the things from him, sweetly He yelled, "Manager Pei."

Before Jue Yun returned to the capital, Pei Jiqing had already arrived at the royal mansion bestowed on him by the emperor. This mansion was huge, with real seven entry and seven exits, but there were still no servants. Pei Jiqing ordered Xiaoqin to wash the hawthorn, I ran to the kitchen to make dumplings by myself.

Maybe it was because I was always tied up by myself when I was a child, and I could only eat candied haws to satisfy my cravings when I wrote good articles. Jue Yun has always liked to eat sweet and sour things, but Pei Jiqing always remembered a saying, "Enter the door and leave the door". For the first meal, you must eat a few dumplings.

But it's snowing again tonight, so it's more appetizing to cook a pot. Pei Jiqing took out a copper hot pot, sliced ​​the tender mutton sent by Mu Ling from Dingzhou all the way, and put all kinds of spices unique to Saibei Go in, and after a while, the hot pot makes a gurgling sound, and the snow-white tofu is mixed with tender green shallots tossing up and down.Pei Jiqing ordered a few more goji berries and put them in, and they were red and green, really pretty.

"Turn off the fire first, and the mutton will be cooked when the prince comes back, otherwise it will be overcooked." Pei Jiqing instructed Xiaoqin, squinting her eyes to look through the window, the snow had already covered the open space outside the house, and the window grille was very bright red, " Hurry up and chop the dumpling stuffing, add a little sugar to enhance the freshness, where is the cooked hawthorn? I will make parfait."

"Hearing you change your name to 'Prince', I'm really not used to it." Xiaoqin smiled and squeezed the dumplings, "After you left, I learned how to grow rose parfait, it looks so pretty."

"My lord likes sweet and sour food, what kind of roses are you doing?" Pei Jiqing pretended to be mean, he looked at Xiaoqin's drooping face, raised his hand and wiped a handful of flour on her face, "Okay, go and put it on." Point rose petals, just as a show."

A table of dishes was set up quickly, but Jue Yun didn't come back for a long time. At this time, there was movement outside the door.Pei Jiqing was afraid that Jueyun would hit him, but couldn't help but ran out with a smirk, only an empty sedan chair was brought back at the door, and the bearer shook off the velvet snow to report back, saying that Jueyun was being left in the palace to drink, and he would come back soon. I don't want to go, so I told them to come back first, and wait for the people in the palace to send them off.

Pei Jiqing walked through the falling snow wrapped in a thick fur cloak, and gave the bearers a few rewards. When he returned to the kitchen, Xiaoqin was already sleeping soundly on the table. The girl was not very old, and she was still snoring.

"It's so cold, I'll wait for the prince to come back, you go to sleep." Pei Jiqing pushed Xiaoqin awake, "By the way, the prince has drunk, I'm afraid he will be aroused by the cold, so I'd better pick it up in person."

"Didn't you say that you did something wrong and you are afraid of being beaten by the prince?" Xiaoqin rubbed her eyes and smiled slyly, "You go to pick him up outside the palace gate, are you afraid that he will beat you on the street?"

Pei Jiqing smiled "hehe", "Just hit me, what am I afraid of?"

Pei Jiqing wrapped up his cloak, pulled out the bay red horse from the stable, and hurriedly cooked by himself, it was indeed not thoughtful, today the virtuous king came back with the Tianzi sword, there is no reason for the emperor not to meet his parents, your majesty The relationship with Jueyun was already embarrassing, but now that Jueyun has a large army in his hands, if he is still sensible, he should invite the Supreme Emperor immediately, maybe this emperor can do it for a few more days.

The Supreme Emperor also drank wine, Pei Jiqing slowly carried the food box, which contained two plates of parfaits mixed with rose petals, the snow was getting heavier, Pei Jiqing had to put the food box on the horse's back, and propped it up by himself. Here comes the oil paper umbrella.

The palace gate was still bright in vermilion, and it was even more eye-catching in the white snow. Pei Jiqing couldn't help tiptoeing around when sedan chairs came in and out of the palace gate. He remembered that the first time he was a guard was waiting in such a heavy snow day. The crown prince left the court, and as a result, he and the bearers waited until late at night for the family banquet in the palace, and his body was covered with white snow.

With a sound of "squeak", the palace door was slowly pushed open by the inner eunuch. Jue Yun had already changed into his armor. He was wearing a robe embroidered with dragons and a big fur cloak. Perhaps because of the cold, he kept burying his face in the Inside the cloak, there were only a pair of extremely tired eyes with bloodshot eyes inside.

Pei Jiqing approached cautiously, Jue Yun's expression was shocked when he saw him, but he lowered his head again.

"My lord... don't be angry..." Pei Jiqing thought that Jue Yun was blaming him for making his own opinions, so she leaned forward with a guilty conscience, and pointed at the food box flatteringly, "I brought you parfaits, if you drink alcohol, you will feel uncomfortable , just eat a piece first, anyway, it will be warm in the carriage."

"Uncle Pei." Jue Yun interrupted him, "Let's walk back instead of taking a car."

"Ah?" Pei Jiqing was stunned for a moment, but still said with a smile: "Okay!"

Snow fell on the long street, and the surroundings were completely white. Jue Yun and Pei Jiqing walked side by side. It didn't take long before their hair was covered with snow.Jue Yun didn't speak all the time, seeing that there was no one around, Pei Jiqing took his hand to please him, and asked in a low voice: "When you go back this time, the emperor's face is very ugly, but he has to stand up..."

"Uncle Pei." Jue Yun nodded, a trace of timidity flashed in his eyes, he paused for a moment, his voice was hoarse and slow, "My father is dead."

"What was his expression when he saw your father..." Pei Jiqing continued to say tentatively, "Where did Fu Congjin go after taking him out of Qingyun Temple?"

Jue Yun held Pei Jiqing's hand tightly, and his voice gradually increased, "My father died, just tonight, when the emperor sent someone to pick him up."

The emperor is dead.

Pei Jiqing stared straight at Xuehua, her eyes seemed to be nailed into her eye sockets, and the smile she just had just froze on her mouth, unable to take it back like a machine.

"Jueyun, I can't stand anymore, hug me." Pei Jiqing's lips trembled, her fingers suddenly stiffened, and the food box in her hand fell to the ground.

"Uncle Pei..."

Jue Yun turned around and stuffed Pei Jiqing into his arms. He was as motionless as a dead man, staring straight at the imperial city.

The walls of the imperial city are vermilion, like rose parfait falling in the snow.
