After Su Jiuxi's order was issued, the city of Yuliang was quickly sealed off and the roads were locked. All the scholars in the city were arrested and inspected one by one. Soldiers even rushed into the houses of the people with portraits and went door to door for interrogation. It is covered with a portrait of a handsome young man, and it is written on the portrait that anyone who finds the trace of this person will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels.

Coincidentally, Baoguo, which is thousands of miles away, is also in a state of turmoil at the moment, people are on their backs, and there is a gossip that it is said that the fifth prince of Baoguo, An and Wang Ni Shizhu, have disappeared.

A few days later, officers and soldiers in Yuliang City were still patrolling the streets every day looking for people, and even the investigation was getting stricter day by day, but there was no movement in Baoguo. To be precise, yesterday evening A man wearing a bamboo hat and dressed in white entered the palace to meet Emperor Bao. No one knew what this unknown man had said to Emperor Bao. They only knew that after he came out, Emperor Bao was alone outside the palace. After standing for a long time, his face was stern, his eyes were as dark as water, and then he ordered several generals to be summoned, and they talked about the darkness in the conference room.

After searching for Baoguo, he rode a snowflake horse to the wild forest thirty miles outside the city. Elder Liu was waiting there anxiously. When he heard the sound of trembling horseshoes, he turned his head happily and saw a dense bamboo forest. , a plump, fat and vigorous horse rushed out. Immediately, the man in the moon white robe stopped in front of Elder Liu, and with a leap, he gracefully and gracefully fall to the ground.

"His Majesty."

Elder Liu hurriedly saluted him respectfully, looked at his anxious face, and said calmly, "What happened."

"Your Majesty, yesterday, I inspected the Second Prince's party in the court and they are going to make some moves recently. I'm afraid they already know that your majesty is not in the palace, which will cause cholera in the court. I hope your majesty will return to the palace as soon as possible."

After Mi Xun heard this, his eyes fell silent for a moment, and after a while he said calmly: "Understood, I will return to the palace as soon as possible, but before that, I still have one thing to do."

Hearing what Mixun said, Elder Liu is an emperor who is not in a hurry to be an eunuch. He wants to ask but dare not ask. He looked absent-minded and didn't know where his thoughts were wandering, and he became more curious. Speaking of which, His Majesty has been calm for the past few days, and he is no longer as lazy as he used to be. Could it be because of the prince of Yangguo? In this way, what His Majesty will do next can be described as heartless and ruthless, it simply does not give people a way out

Thinking of Mi Xun's deep affection and love for the Ninth Prince of Yang State in the Yang State Military Camp before, he couldn't help but feel chills down his back. It really is the most ruthless emperor's family.

Thinking of this, Elder Liu didn't dare to persuade if he wanted to persuade him, he quickly said: "Yes"

The moonlight is like practice.

Going out to search for people during the day, the soldiers who were exhausted all day and still had no results fell asleep after returning to their rooms, and the soldiers on the night shift were still diligently looking for people outside. At this moment, in the middle of the night, only the faint snoring of the soldiers could be heard in Yuliang City , is the sobbing night wind.

The courtyard outside Su Jiuxi's room was quiet and deserted. The moonlight covered a few delicately blooming wintersweet trees outside the courtyard with a layer of silver frost. The plum shadows were reflected on the open ground. On the silver armor, the general in silver armor sat on the cold stone bench under the plum tree, letting the dark shadow of the tree engulf half of his body. The originally haggard and thin face became paler, and there was a pair of dark eyes embedded in the expressionless face, the eyeballs were dark and deep, but the bottom of the eyes was covered with bloodshot eyes, as if they had not fallen asleep for many days, and they seemed indescribable. Infiltrate.

A long sword was held in his hand, and the slender and well-proportioned jade hand held the cloth and wiped the sword over and over again, until the wiped sword was not stained with dust, and the light could be seen.

He still had to repeat this single action mechanically.

The figure wiping the sword was indescribably deserted and lonely.

Across the side covered tree branches, all this scene fell into a pair of complicated light gray eyes.

Suddenly there was a strange noise in front of him. The person who was sitting on the low stool next to the stone table and silently wiping his sword suddenly stood up and stabbed fiercely with his sword.

Su Jiuxi is a master of swordsmanship, and he used to practice swords in the court on weekdays. When he was looking for a passerby occasionally, he couldn't help but be attracted by his graceful and heroic sword posture, so he stopped to admire.

At this moment, the sword dancer under the moon has no rules at all, his footsteps are messy, his wrist holding the sword moves quickly and chaotically, his face is always expressionless, as if he is venting something, the plum tree beside him is crushed by the strong There was a "squeak" sound from the sword energy, and plum blossoms fell from the branches one after another, flying all over the sky.

The sword in Su Jiuxi's hand stabbed faster and faster, and his sword skills became more and more chaotic. If he continued like this, he would hurt himself sooner or later. The light gray eyes hidden behind the shadow of the tree slowly narrowed, his face darkened, Just as he was about to try to stop it, the person in the shadow of Plum Blossom under the Moon swung his sword violently and sprinted. His body was unstable and he staggered and fell to the stone bench. His forehead and hair were left behind after violent movements. Strangely, his face was still pale, only the panting between his neck was a bit more obvious than before.

He hadn't slept for many days. After a violent sword dance at this moment, his body was exhausted. He held the long sword with one hand and propped it on the ground, so he barely fell down. On his silver armor, there are a few spots.

The plum blossoms are all over the place.

After a while, he raised his head, but a hand covered most of his face. He could only see the trance and fragility that could only be revealed in this empty silence from his uncovered eyes. An extraordinarily dark night overhead, an extraordinarily bright moon.

With a sound of "clang", the sword fell to the ground, and the person fell down in front of the table.

After a long time, Su Jiuxi fell on the cold stone table, motionless in the night wind, and after another half sound, a figure came out from behind the shadow of the tree in the night.

Stepping over the scattered plum blossoms on the ground, she came to the side of Su Jiuxi who was lying on the stone table.

The visitor looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes who finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep. He took off the cloak of Yuebai Yunzhang on his body, half-bent down, and gently put it on him, but when he got up, he found that he was always Maintaining the posture of covering half of his face with one hand, the visitor stretched out his hand curiously, gently and slowly put his hand down, and only then opened his hand, he was stunned.

On that half of the cheek, there were obvious traces of tears.

Mi Xun's eyes became a bit more complicated, and for the first time there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

He couldn't help lowering his head and kissing away the tears on his cheeks. Once he thought about it, his head immediately hurt like being beaten with a hammer, and a strong nausea and disgust gushed out of his heart uncontrollably.

Finally, he stopped just a finger away from the tear-stained jade skin in front of his eyes, opened his eyes and slowly stood up, the dark light at the bottom of his eyes changed and changed, and the pity and tenderness finally appeared in the intensely changing light and shadow fade away.

He silently looked at the motionless person lying on the table for a while, then turned and left.

Two hours before dawn, the watchman in the city yawned and walked home. When he reached a dark alley, he was bumped by a man wearing a bamboo hat and walking hurriedly. The gongs and bamboo sticks fell with a "bang", making sharp and piercing sounds in the silence.

"You don't have eyes when you walk!"

The old watchman, who was already in a bad mood because of the inexplicable security in the city, said badly.

"Sorry, I collided with you."

At the same time as the deep and pleasant voice sounded, the man in the bamboo hat in front of him bent over to pick up the gong and the bamboo stick, and handed them to the watchman. The black veil on the man's hat was stunned, and his tone suddenly became polite, "It's okay, it's because the old man didn't hold his hand firmly, you don't mind."

The strange young man seemed to be busy, obviously he didn't want to stay any longer, he said "Farewell" after seeing that the watchman was fine, and hurried forward, seeing that he was going in the direction outside the city, the watchman couldn't help it He reminded him behind him: "Young master, the gate of the city has been sealed, you can't get out."

Unexpectedly, the young man seemed to have not heard, and continued to walk forward, and disappeared into the darkness after a while.

The old watchman scratched his head strangely.

When that person's face was exposed just now, why did he feel so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, it was impossible. How could he be so familiar with such a handsome young man as a rehabilitated person.

Just walking out of the alley and passing a notice board,

The watchman folded back in amazement, wiped his eyes carefully with his worn sleeve, stared at the portrait on the notice board with wide eyes, and then turned his eyes to the line under the notice board, "Anyone who finds any traces will be rewarded with money." "Hundred taels" in handwriting, the watchman's eyes lit up, his face was overjoyed, and he rushed to the tower excitedly.

After another period of time, the sky was about to be dark, and the deep clouds revealed a light like a cold crab, covering the bamboo forest below even more deserted.

A carriage galloped through the bamboo forest, startled the returning birds on both sides, and left two lines of deep wheel marks on the ground in the middle of the bamboo forest. Suddenly, the horse neighed, and the white horse running smoothly in the bamboo forest was ordered to stop. The horse's hooves bumped violently on the muddy ground for two times before stopping, and the person in the carriage was unstable and accidentally bumped his forehead.

Mi Xun held back his anger, and lifted the curtain of the car unhappily, "What happened, why did you stop?"

A group of officers and soldiers surrounded the carriage, holding gleaming weapons in their hands, looking at them complicatedly. A maroon horse stood majestically in the middle of the officers and soldiers. watching them.

The back was as indifferent as frost.
