Shuangfeike from all over the world

It was only a month or so before Prince Daqi's ascension ceremony on the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, but Prince Daqi was nowhere to be seen. Every day when he went to court, only his personal jade pendant was placed on his seat.

Li Jingze and Nie Rulan didn't panic, Xie Ce had promised them that he would definitely come back when the time came.Xie Ce was hurt too deeply this time, but Li Jingze and Nie Rulan were a little happy, thinking that as long as Wei Nan stayed away from Xie Ce, the heir to Da Qi they carefully cultivated would one day get back on track.

After all, Wei Nan is the one who has made great contributions to the restoration of the Great Qi. Li Jingze and Nie Rulan can't blatantly kill the donkey. They can only hope that the relationship between the two will become more and more tense.

Chaotian Mountain in June is already a bit hot, and the mountain road that has been exposed to the scorching sun for a day exudes the smell of grass and trees.The sun has just set, and the sky is dark and it is not easy to walk on the mountain road. There will be beasts coming and going at night. Usually, people on the mountain will not go down the mountain at this time.

Amidst the sound of insects, a tall and thin figure walked slowly on the mountain path, heading down the mountain.He walked slowly and didn't bring any weapons, and he didn't seem to be afraid of wild beasts that appeared at night.The man was dressed in black, with deep and stern eyebrows and a long scar on his temple. He looked intimidating and had an aura of keeping strangers away. He was Xie Ce who was half a month away from Beijing.

Since parting with Wei Nan in Prince Ming's Mansion, he has worn out a lot. Luo Qingshan's words were like wounds burned into his soul, tormenting him day and night.It was fine during the busy day, especially in the dead of night, when those poisonous snake-like words jumped out word by word and devoured Xie Ce's soul and flesh and blood.

He couldn't fall asleep in the Wenwu Hall. As soon as he entered the side hall, the man's favorite tea was placed beside the couch. The thin quilt that covered his legs when he was reading that day was still the same. It seemed that the man had just left for a while, and immediately Will turn around and come back...

Facing the side hall where the two spend their time together day and night, Xie Ce's mind is full of that person's shadow, and he can't fall asleep at all.He had no choice but to move out of the Wenwu Palace, but Wei Nan had been back to the palace for so many years, there were traces of his appearance everywhere in the entire palace, Xie Ce had to move to live in a palace that Wei Nan had never been to.

He thought that as long as he stayed away from everything related to this person, he would no longer be affected by the wound that followed and almost carved into his soul.

As long as he can't see these injuries, he is still Brother Nan's Ce'er, and he can love him unscrupulously and fanatically, and haunt him shamelessly like before when he didn't know anything.

But less than two days after living in the palace, when no one mentioned this person anymore, they just received the news of the great victory in Lingshan.

Now everyone in the court and in the capital was discussing His Highness King Ming's wisdom and martial arts, and all the bad comments about him before disappeared.Overnight, His Royal Highness King Ming became the hero of Daqi, and became synonymous with righteousness and righteousness.

Xie Ce is going crazy, the officials in the court are talking about him; the people in Beijing are talking about him; he is even the one singing on the stage... He can't sleep, he stays up until dawn with his eyes open every night, and has a headache like a stone To the point of no spirit, in a state of being in a trance and unable to hear people's words.

Nie Rulan really couldn't stand Xie Ce's appearance of falling down at any time, fearing that he would not be able to hold on, and unwilling to analyze the meaning of Wei Nanluo Qingshan's move to him, so she could only persuade him to leave the capital to relax.

Xie Ce didn't know where to go, he left all his followers and started on the road alone.Before he knew it, he returned to Chaotian Mountain.

Maybe it was because he was always thinking about the life that Wei Nan promised him in the letter back then.Since that promise was doomed not to be fulfilled, Xie Ce wanted to experience it alone, as a token of his obsession with that promise.

Xiejiazhai is no longer a den of bandits, nor is it armed.The original bandits have long since become farmers in the fields, and today's Xiejiazhai is a real paradise where the traffic of the rice paddies and the chickens and dogs meet each other.

He went back to the village master's mansion for a few days and didn't go to see Chen Deaf. He was afraid that when he saw him, he would think of Wei Nan's injuries and those sad and sad days.

But it's strange, when he saw the wing that Wei Nan lived in, he didn't feel sad at all.Xie Ce paced into the room he entered by mistake after being drunk. At that time, Xie Ce didn't know that the cold clerk was his brother Nan, and thought he had slept with him.

Seeing the somewhat faded bed and the old desk, Xie Ce finally had a soft light in his eyes.

It would be great if the time only stayed in that year!If the Qing Leng document hadn't become His Royal Highness King Ming, and if Village Master Xie hadn't become the Prince of Daqi... would everything be different from now?

He slept in the wing room where Wei Nan used to sleep, the place where he hadn't started entanglement with Wei Nan, and he refused to go back to sleep in the room where he had skin-to-skin contact with Wei Nan.

During the day, former brothers came to visit him.They all knew that Xie Ce was already Da Qi's prince, but they didn't know why he was so lonely and even one of his followers didn't bring him back to Chaotian Mountain.

The brothers didn't dare to ask him, but they just told some interesting things about Chaotian Mountain because they saw how sad he was.

Someone said that there is a very good restaurant in the town at the foot of the mountain, the wine is good, and the dishes are also unique, but the proprietress is very fierce, and asked Xie Ce if he wanted to go together, and the brothers hadn't been together for a long time.

Xie Ce rejected their kindness. The more people there were, the more lively and carnival they were, the more lonely and painful he would feel.

He slept in the wing room where Wei Nan slept for a whole afternoon, when the maid came and asked him if he wanted to have dinner now, Xie Ce shook his head and refused.He put on his clothes and went down the mountain alone, just wanting to go to the wine shop that people said to drink.

He lost a lot of weight, and he didn't have any extra flesh. He slept on Wei Nan's hard bed all afternoon. I feel sorry for him.

"Xie Ce, you are really a bitch!" He couldn't help scolding himself, and Luo Qingshan's words sounded in his mind again: "Xie Ce, if I were you, I wouldn't do what is difficult for others."

He shook his head, put these hurtful words behind him, and unknowingly walked to the restaurant in the town at the foot of the mountain: this restaurant was actually the one where he stumbled in and wanted to escape when he was hunted down by Xuanyi Baiju. The inn was changed!

Unexpectedly, after a few years, the inn turned into a wine shop, time has changed, and it is not only the inn and the wine shop that have changed, but also people.

Xie Ce thought to himself: It seems that the story of the bandit leader and the scholar should indeed be turned over.

He walked into the restaurant and chose a secluded corner to sit down. The chubby boss trot over courteously and greeted him with a smile: "What does this young man want to order?"

"Give me a jug of the best wine in your store, and recommend some special dishes."

The owner of the store smiled and said: "The best in our store is Yaozixuequ, which is mellow and refreshing. How about serving you a fried small yellow croaker, a plate of salt-baked chicken, and a plate of peanuts? I see you For one person, if you order too much and you can’t finish it, it’s a waste.”

Seeing that the boss is also a sincere person, Xie Ce said, "Okay, it's up to you."

Soon, a pot of Yao Zixue music and three dishes were served, and Xie Ce drank it on his own.

It was already sunset, the lights were on in the store, and seven or eight tables were already filled with people. The fat boss was so busy that he didn't touch the floor, but he didn't see a waiter or the legendary fierce proprietress to help.

"Boss, are you the only one in charge of this store? Why don't you hire a buddy when the business is so good?" Xie Ce had already drunk half a jug of wine, and started talking too much.

The fat boss just took a sip of water behind the counter, when he heard Xie Ce call him, he trotted over to talk to him.

"My lord, you don't know that my wife doesn't allow me to hire a buddy. She said she wants to exercise me so that I can lose weight." The fat boss shook his head helplessly and smiled.

"Sit down and talk to me." Xie Ce pointed to the stool next to him.

The fat boss hesitated and said with some embarrassment: "Young master, my wife does not allow me to sit and chat with guests..."

Before he finished speaking, a lukewarm woman's voice from the stairs interrupted him: "The guest officer has a request, you just obey."

Xie Ce looked up, and saw a woman in plain clothes upstairs slowly coming down.The woman was beautiful and light-bodied, even though she was dressed in common clothes, she couldn't hide her beauty, she really didn't match this fat boss with a fat face.

The fat boss hurriedly said: "Yes! Then please trouble Madam to serve the guests at the other table."

The woman gave a little blessing to Xie Ce, ignored the fat boss, turned around and greeted the guests.

Seeing the fat boss talking to his wife so nervously that his face was sweating, Xie Ce couldn't help laughing, and said, "Boss, you are the most guilty person I've ever seen."

The fat boss sat next to Xie Ce, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Everyone in the town says I'm afraid of guilt, and I'm used to it."

Xie Ce poured him a glass of wine, pushed it in front of him, and asked, "Boss, when did you take over this store? I remember a few years ago, it was still an inn."

The fat boss took Xie Ce's wine with a smile and drank it all, and said, "Master, what you said was at least six years ago! At that time, this was the inn opened by my father-in-law. One day, several gangsters broke in suddenly. Clothes man, they arrested my father-in-law and mother-in-law, saying that the village master Xie of Xiejiazhai hid in the inn, and they insisted on my father-in-law's family handing him over."

Xie Ce's heart tightened, he almost lost his voice, and hurriedly asked: "Continue."

The fat boss didn't notice the change in Xie Ce's mood, and continued: "Where have my father-in-law and mother-in-law met Village Master Xie! I definitely can't hand it over, so I was... silenced by those killers. At that time, Xiu Niang, oh, it was My wife. She happened to come to my house to discuss with me about buying drinks, so she escaped a catastrophe. I heard the neighbor said that something happened to the inn, so I accompanied her over..."

"We also heard from the guy in the store afterwards that those black-clothed masked killers had mysterious origins, and the government has not yet solved the case of the murder of my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Murder case, the inn can no longer be opened, after my wife and I got married, I opened it as a wine shop, only selling wine and vegetables, and it closes at midnight."

Xie Ce looked at the proprietress busy with some guilt, if he hadn't stumbled into this inn by mistake, the proprietress' parents would not have been killed by Xuanyi Baiju.

"It is said that my wife is fierce and powerful, but my son, she was an orphan at the time. If someone made decisions for her, if someone could rely on her, why would she want to become a strong and fierce woman?" The fat boss sighed and turned Looking at her wife busy.

"Before marrying me, many rich and powerful people saw that she lost her parents, so they wanted to bully her, or marry her as a concubine, but they were all scolded and beaten away by her. She wanted to guard her father and mother. I hope that one day I will be able to catch the murderer and comfort the spirits of the two elders..."

"I know the pain in her heart. I am not afraid of people saying that I am a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and I am not afraid of people saying that I am afraid of guilt. I just want to protect her and let her have someone she can rely on. I am not afraid of you, son. , my wife is not willing, you can see the gap between us...she is good-looking, but I am not good-looking...but because I treat her well and sincerely..." the fat boss said in a rambling manner.

Xie Ce was agitated by the fat boss's words, and the wound in his heart that he had covered up all night began to ache again.He raised his head and drank a glass of wine, looked at the fat boss, and asked earnestly: "The shopkeeper, everyone says that twisted melons are not sweet, why do you want to force others to do things that are difficult for you?"

Hearing Xie Ce's words, the fat boss became a little anxious: "Young master, why is this difficult? Even though I don't look good enough for her, only I can afford what she wants: She has to guard this position." I opened the store that passed my life, and I opened it into a wine shop, and tried my best to manage it into a famous sign nearby; she is strong and fierce, marrying another man will only suffer, only I dote on her, even if she is loved by others. It's a joke, and I would like to bully her for the rest of my life."

Xie Ce smiled disdainfully, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said, "Idiot! But I still didn't want to be with you at the beginning!"

The fat boss smiled and said, "What does that matter? She has given me two children. Even if she doesn't want to, she is still mine. How can I divorce her now because she didn't want to?" Or keep it in your heart for the rest of your life? My son, if I am like this, am I still a man?"

Xie Ce was taken aback for a moment, looking at the appearance of the fat boss, he suddenly became a little angry. He stood up and asked a little loudly: "Then why did you insist on being with her in the first place? Wouldn't it be better not to be together?"

The customers in the store were taken aback by him, and they all turned to look at them.The proprietress noticed their side and shouted to the fat boss: "Fatty, hello to the guests!"

The fat boss bowed to the lady boss, turned around and took Xie Ce's hand, pulling him to sit down, and said in a low voice, "Why are you so excited?"

Xie Ce felt that he had lost his composure. He rubbed his face, suppressed the rising alcohol, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I and my... madam have always had a good relationship. But I just learned recently that he I didn't do it willingly with me back then, it was...forced...I couldn't bear it for a while..." Speaking of this, Xie Ce choked up, he lay on the table and buried his head in his arms, weeping and trembling silently , with the help of alcohol, the emotions that had been suppressed for so many days were finally released.

The shopkeeper looked at the gaze from the next table looking at him in embarrassment, nodded and bowed to the guest at the next table, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... this young man drank too much..."

When the guests at the next table turned their eyes away, the fat boss turned around and patted Xie Ce's shoulder with his hands, and said in a low voice, "My lord, no matter how it started, it's over. The important thing is not the present and the future? Isn’t it enough that she loves you now? She is already yours. Are you going to betray her just because of her reluctance in the past? My son, you can’t be like this ah!"

Xie Ce didn't know how much he drank that night, and he didn't know how he got upstairs. Anyway, when he woke up, he was already sleeping in the upstairs guest room.

The drunkenness from the previous night was still there, he got up a little groggy, without disturbing the restaurant owner and his wife, left all the money on his body in the guest room, and then drifted away.
