"Wei Shengni suddenly sighed with emotion. He grew up on an island, so he didn't understand those intrigues, treacherous, fraternal battles -- Zuoqiu Yi and Zuoqiu Yu are both busy to survive. .

"Zuoqiu Yi and Zuoqiu Yu will definitely unite," Lan You said.

Wei Shengni doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, as long as it doesn't hinder him from doing things: "Help me find a person next to Zuoqiu Yu, Ye Zuochen."

"Yes."

The lights are flickering, as if compared with the bright moon, and the insects of the summer night are always noisy in the night. This restless night is doomed to the restless people.

After taking a bath, Wei Shengni sat on the table in a thin plain robe and carefully studied the file that Lan You brought. The water dripped down from his hair, soaking his clothes.

After reading half of the file, his eyes trembled, as if there was water vapor. This was the first time he knew his father, mother and grandfather in such detail.

It is recorded in the file that 600 years ago, the Yasukuni Kingdom in the east, the Luyuan Kingdom in the north, the Shouye Kingdom in the south, the Bian Kingdom in the west, and the Supreme Kingdom in the middle belonged to a unified dynasty, the Dahua Dynasty, but it was split later.The Jingguo was founded by Chu Lu. At that time, the seventh emperor, Chu Kong, practiced the policy of caring for all ethnic groups and one family, eliminating ethnic barriers, diligently governing and loving the people, and was very affectionate to his original wife. He only married one wife and the harem was empty. popular support.

At that time, General Zuo Qiuhai of the Yasukuni was a benevolent minister and wise man, who assisted Chu Kong with all his strength, and Chu Kong also had a heavy responsibility for Zuo Qiuhai.But then Zuoqiuhai was changed in the Forbidden City, Chu Kong was buried in a sea of ​​flames, and Chu Kong's son Chu You's family was caught in the trap and escape route, and was finally strangled by the pursuers, and none of the Chu family survived.

Wei Shengni looked at these files indifferently, but his heart was in a mess, and he really couldn't calm down and continue to read.He thought that after reading the dossier, he would hate Zuoqiu's family, but he didn't. The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. This is a thousand-year-old rule.

He wouldn't blame anyone for the ending of the Chu family. His confusion might be because he felt the presence of his relatives—a stone fell into the cold pond in his heart that had been silent all year round, splashing circles of ripples, and then returned to tranquility. The stone has sunk to the bottom of the pool forever.

As soon as Wei Shengni put away the file, he raised his eyes and saw Song Yanchu standing there awkwardly outside the window. Their eyes met. Song Yanchu unexpectedly saw Wei Shengni's fleeting loneliness and helplessness. It was shocking and distressed as if being pulled.

"Yan Chu, come in." Wei Sheng massaged his temples, looking tired.

"Yeah." Song Yanchu opened the door and walked in, seeing Wei Shengni obviously overworked, "What's the matter today?"

"You don't have to worry about Yanchu." Wei Shengni casually picked up a book and flipped through it. It was a Buddhist scripture. He didn't know much about Buddhist scriptures, so he flipped through his hand and read a sentence: Liuli God has not been released yet, and Scrophulariaceae can be seen Wear it on both ends.

Song Yanchu knew what happened to Weisheng Niding and why he was so lonely and tired, but he didn't ask.Looking at Wei Shengni's hair that was still dripping, he went into the inner room and brought a square towel to wipe Wei Shengni gently.

"If you don't dry your hair, it's easy to catch the cold." Song Yanchu said softly.

"Floating dust for a hundred years, can Yan Chu always stay by my side?" Wei Shengni closed his eyes, seemingly casually asking.

Song Yanchu didn't answer, and was still carefully wiping Wei Shengni's soft silver hair with his hands, but his heart was already churning, he was at a loss, he didn't want to answer but he didn't dare to answer, maybe he couldn't answer either.

"Don't worry about Yanchu, I'm just asking casually." Weisheng expected that Song Yanchu would not answer.

It has been 18 years, and tonight is the first time that Wei Shengni has had real contact with his relatives, so strange but so familiar, he admits that when he heard that Chu Kong might have no bones left, he felt a sense of collapse, what he can do now It is to try to find the grandfather's spiritual bones.

Back then, he went out to the island to find the spirit bones to complete the mission of Mu Yin, but now, Wei Shengni himself had the urge to get back the spirit bones. He closed his eyes and quietly breathed the faint smell of herbs around Song Yanchu, and his mood gradually calmed down. down.

"Go back, go to bed early at night." Song Yanchu put down the kerchief, looked at Wei Shengni with a concerned and distressed expression, "No matter what happens, you will always be clear if you close your eyes overnight."

Wei Shengni held Song Yanchu's hand, feeling the warmth of the other's palm, as if he could feel at ease in this way, he said lightly, "Okay."

But a sleepless night.

But this time, the two rookies in the martial arts examination have attracted the attention of all the people, and they have become the gossip of every family in the imperial capital. Among them, there are many people who desire Xuanzhi to be their son-in-law, and there is an endless stream of courtiers who ask the emperor for marriage.

The leader was Jiang Heng, who had just acted as Minister of the Ministry of War not long ago, but he didn't expect Xuanzhi to shirk in every possible way, which caused Jiang Heng's displeasure, so at night, Xuanzhi received a secret decree and went to the emperor's study.

He was uneasy, this was the first time he had come to the Imperial Study Room, the layout here was luxurious, elegant and ingenious that he had never seen before.Unknowingly, he slowed down his pace slightly, breaking the elegant tranquility with reluctance.

He gradually approached the inner hall, and suddenly the tip of his nose touched a trace of cold fragrance, which seemed to touch the heartstrings unintentionally, and gradually calmed down the complicated thoughts of the day.As he walked deeper and deeper, the fragrance became more and more obvious, making him fascinated, and suddenly recalled that this fragrance seemed to be the first time he met that morning.

Finally, at a corner, I saw the lights flickering in the inner hall, like fireflies embroidered on the carved dragon lantern stand.On the large golden nanmu table, there is a sheet of snow-white rice paper.Zuo Qiujie lowered his head and held the pen, and traced it carefully. A beautiful view of the maze of the moon crossing the river vividly appeared on the paper.A few strands of curly hair are casually scattered, just touching the paper, and the loops are delicate and charming.

"Subordinates see the emperor."

Zuo Qiujie stopped writing and put it aside, saying: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Sit." Zuo Qiujie stretched out his hand to signal the seat in front of him. His eyes looked at Xuanzhi, which was marked with the extinguished candle, which made him stunned. It took him a long time before he carefully sat down.

"The emperor asked his subordinates to come down...what's the matter?"

Zuo Qiujie was not in a hurry to answer, but just pushed a plate of hazelnuts in front of Xuanzhi: "Eat it."

Just when Xuanzhi was in a daze, Zuoqiu Jie didn't raise his eyes, and suddenly said: "Jiang Heng begs you to be my son-in-law, what do you think?"

"Back to the emperor, the subordinates come from a humble background, and they are not suitable for Miss Jiang."

"You really don't want to be the son-in-law of the Jiang family?" Zuo Qiujie looked up at Xuan Zhi with suspicion in his eyes, "Do you still think that the Jiang family, or even the sixth princess, is not noble enough?"

"No!" Xuan Zhi hastily denied, Zuoqiu Jie's words were a bit thorny - the person who could even refuse to be a son-in-law, I am afraid that the only person who can satisfy him is the ninth-fifth position.

As soon as he thought that he had aroused such recognition from the emperor, Xuanzhi was already in a cold sweat.

"Why is that?"

Thinking in a hurry, Xuan Zhi had a flash of light, and this answer came into his mind at this moment, it seemed to be a coincidence or fate, he hurriedly said: "Go back to the emperor, that's because...the subordinate already has someone he likes."

"Oh?" Zuo Qiujie seemed to be interested.

"Back to the emperor, my subordinate... has been with a woman since he was a child, and has a deep affection. He agreed to marry this woman after she was 20 years old. Now, although this subordinate has accomplished a little, he must never forget the original love, so..." Said Here Xuanzhi stopped abruptly, it was extremely rare for him to be able to say this so naturally.

"What is the woman's year?"

"Back to the emperor, just fourteen."

Zuoqiu Jie was silent for a long time, and stared at the picture of the unfinished ferry in a daze, Xuan Zhi dared not move at all, no one knew what the emperor was thinking at this time.

"I understand." Zuo Qiujie suddenly said after a long time.

Xuanzhi raised his head little by little, and met Zuoqiujie's smiling eyes, as if he wanted to suck himself in.

"Emperor?" he asked puzzled.

"I understand what you mean, I will talk to Jiang Heng about this tomorrow, so don't worry."

Xuanzhi was overjoyed for a while, he was about to get up from the chair and kneel down, but Zuoqiu Jie grabbed his sleeve, and the fragrance was so close at hand, he was at a loss for a moment.

"Thank you... Your Majesty."

Zuo Qiujie smiled suddenly, the smile line was slightly visible, and a beautiful dimple appeared on the right cheek, which was really fascinating: "If you want to thank me, you will train with the guards in the future."

Xuan Zhi stared blankly, and then said for a long time: "Subordinates... must fulfill their duties!"

"Just know." Zuo Qiujie then slowly let go of his sleeve.

Xuan Zhi was calm on the face, but his heart was beating non-stop.After hastily saying goodbye, he hurried back to the Sword Shadow Pavilion exclusively for the guards, holding his hand in front of the door, and hadn't collected his thoughts for a long time.

He fetched a basin of water to wash his face, and finally calmed down.He went to the bed and kept telling himself that he escaped a catastrophe, this time it was just a fluke, and he must be very careful next time.This is how to comfort myself over and over again with numb words to cover up my true emotions, and then gradually fall asleep.

Later, when Jiang Heng learned that this matter was not possible, he couldn't help but feel depressed, and Zuo Qiujie had achieved his own goal, not only suppressing Jiang Heng's influence, but also cultivating a capable bodyguard for himself-at least for now.

***

After knowing these things, Gu Xi couldn't help but have deeper doubts about Xuan Zhi, and Zuo Qiuyan also had the same thoughts.The two coincided with each other and got together again.

"It seems that Ah Yan is really good at seeing people." Gu Xi said, grabbed Zuo Qiuyan's hand, and caressed the jade wrench on his thumb.

"Yiqing, stop joking."

Gu Xi grinned and said: "Based on my opinion, Xiao Xuanzhi must have had other purposes in participating in the martial arts competition, but his integrity is not fake, he is a really good young man!"

Zuoqiu Yan tilted
