Seventh Pagoda

This person is too cunning, he must be under his nose.

But in the end it is Xiao Jiu's person, so we have to guard against it.

But this is the person Xiao Jiu is willing to trade six hundred miles for land, even if he is cunning, he must make good use of it.

After thinking so much, Xiao Bai finally placed him in his bedroom...

How could Xin Fu not understand him since he followed his son from childhood.An Jing led him to the dormitory, and before reaching the door, she couldn't hold back and said: "My son looks fierce, but he has the best mind." After speaking, he ran away like a rabbit without looking back.

Zhong Shuping made a fuss for no reason, and didn't care about anything, just sat down obediently.He was thinking, how can he go back?

"You want to go back so much?" When Xiao Bai asked, Zhong Shuping was taken aback, and nodded unconsciously: "Yeah. I think so."

After realizing that it was Xiao Bai who came, he realized that he had been in a daze for noon. Xiao Bai couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, so he walked to the window and sat down, with his back to Zhong Shuping, staring out the window in a daze.

Looking until the sunset is deep and the sky is filled with rays of light.

Zhong Shuping didn't know what he meant, and he didn't intend to strike up a conversation with him rashly.As far as his temperament is concerned, even if he wants to strike up a conversation, he probably can't help but ask: "Your Majesty, when will you chop me into minced meat?"

Xiao Bai seemed to know this too, and he didn't intend to speak up, so he just stayed like this for ten days.Every day, I came over silently and sat with my back to Uncle Zhong, and then silently looked out the window in a daze.

This day was no different from usual, still looking out of the window, but Xiao Bai suddenly said: "I retreated three hundred miles that time in Lingye, why didn't you chase after me?"

Zhong Shuping was dazed, thought carefully in his mind, and remembered that it was five years ago, it was his first year in Xiao Jiu's camp, and it was also the first sibling rivalry he experienced.

Although Ranggong placed his two sons in the fiefdom, he ignored the open and secret struggle between the two, and let them each rely on their own abilities.

Previously Xiao Bai and Xiao Jiu each had victories and defeats, on the surface Xiao Bai lost more, Xiao Jiu was still young at that time, and he was determined to win, not as scheming as he is now, so he naturally took advantage of the situation to pursue.

Zhong Shuping was worried about Xiao Jiu's safety, originally he was not qualified to discuss matters, but he risked his life to break into the tent, not only to kill Xiao Jiu's idea, but also offered a clever trick of feint to lure Xiao Bai to underestimate the enemy and fall into the trap.

I wanted to repay my kindness, so I burned the ointment and continued to practice the art of war for ten years, hoping that it would come in handy one day.And Xiao Baiming is younger than Xiao Jiu, and he lives in a prince's family, so it is not easy to have such a strategy.

Zhong Shuping thought about this, and replied calmly: "Show the enemy to be weak, and attack him unprepared. It's not difficult to guess." Xiao Bai snorted: "If you didn't make trouble, Xiao Jiu, that foolish idiot, would not even have thought of such a simple thing. "

Zhong Shuping kowtowed all the way into Xiao Jiu's tent, Xiao Bai naturally heard about it, not only heard about it, but also very itchy.Subconsciously, he looked at Zhong Shuping's forehead, unaware that even if his head was knocked off, it was five years ago.

Coincidentally, Uncle Zhong bowed his head in silence and did not pay attention to Xiao Bai's movements.

Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze, looked out of the window silently for a while, and couldn't help but ask again: "Then what happened to Mu Yuan?"

Xiao Bai led twenty guards, traveled all day and night, touched Xiao Jiu's granary, and was caught by Zhong Shuping after a fire general made a fuss, almost all of them fell into his hands.Zhong Shuping touched his nose a little shyly: "That time... was really... a coincidence."

Even though Zhong Shuping was unparalleled in his calculations, it was impossible for him to find out by pinching his fingers that Xiao Bai set the fire either yesterday or tomorrow.

It is true that I drank the sour plum soup greedily during the day, sleep drowsily at night and wanted to relieve myself, half-closed my eyes and saw sparks flickering...

Xiao Bai held his breath in his chest for many years, but at this moment when he heard the truth, he suddenly lost his mind. After holding it for a long time, his shoulders trembled, and finally he couldn't hold back, and laughed loudly.

Xiao Bairen was against the sunlight, and he smiled so broadly that Zhong Shuping could hardly move his eyes.

"Where is the Jackdaw Forest? How did you know that I would go through the Jackdaw Forest?" Xiao Bai laughed enough, and asked Zhong Shuping again.

"Because it's close." Zhong Shuping answered honestly. "Going through the Jackdaw Forest, you can get back to the capital as quickly as possible. If it were someone else, you might avoid it and choose another way. But you are Young Master Bai."

Xiao Bai was stunned by the honest words, and looked at Zhong Shuping fixedly.

The person involved was unaware of the deep meaning unintentionally revealed in this sentence, and looked back at Xiao Bai dully.

In the end Xiao Bai was no match, he turned around and continued to lie on the window sill, occasionally mentioning some event from that year and asking a few words leisurely.

So you come and go, Xiao Bai clings to Uncle Zhong and chats until the moon is in the sky.

Flowing silver is all over the ground, everything is covered with a layer of white light, and the whole world is soft and peaceful.

Xiao Baiqi met his opponent and had a great time chatting, he couldn't help being a little sleepy at the moment, so he muttered "I'm tired", and fell asleep on the window sill.

Zhong Shuping wanted to call Xin Fu to clean up the people, but there was no answer for a long time, and when he continued to shout, he was afraid that Xiao Bai was sleepy, so he had to find a blanket to cover Xiao Bai, and he fell asleep on the soft couch casually .

When I woke up the next day, Xiao Bai was definitely not there, but there were a few more Mrs. Tang on the soft couch, the shoes, socks and outer clothes had already been taken off, and only the middle coat was on.

The bare feet couldn't help rubbing against Mrs. Tang's soft cashmere, and the warmth and comfort slowly seeped in from the toes.Although I don't know why Xiao Bai refused to let him go, if he just stayed like this, it would be very comfortable.

I thought I would stay like this forever, but suddenly Zhong Quan's carrier pigeon flew in like this, and landed silently on the window sill where Xiao Bai used to lie on his stomach, his two small black eyes rolled around, only looking at Uncle Zhong Ping does not speak.

He sighed subconsciously in his heart, slowly got up and took off the thin bamboo tube tied around the pigeon's leg.

With slender and dexterous fingers, Zhong Shuping picked out the paper roll in the bamboo tube nimbly, unfolded it neatly, glanced at it, then sealed it in the bamboo tube as it was, tied it up carefully, raised his hand and stroked the pigeon's neck, and it fluttered obediently Wings, fly back the same way.

Three days later, Zhong Shuping disappeared.Xiao Jiu wrote a letter, please explain it to Xiao Bai Xuntai.

On the tower of Xuntai City, Zhong Shuping was hung high.Xiao Bai walked down the city at a leisurely pace, leading the horse alone.Xiao Jiu sat at the gate of the city, with an unclear expression on his face: "You...you are still here..."

Not wanting to talk nonsense with him, Xiao Bai just looked up at Uncle Zhong with a flat smile, the sleepiness on his face couldn't stop the bright look in his eyes, he flew up to the tower, swung his sword with his left hand to cut off the rope, and held him in his arms with his right hand, all in one go .

Uncle Zhong was calm, looked at Xiao Bai, and said for a while: "Stupid?"

Xiao Bai remained silent, there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, after all he just sighed: "You are as stupid as you are."

After being hung up for the past few days, Zhong Shuping's wrists were already a little swollen, so Xiao Bai took his palms and rubbed them slowly.

Just in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of arrows came, destroying the world, Xiao Jiu exclaimed in anger, "Lu Rufeng! Stop!"

Lu Rufeng was as stable as a rock: "My lord! If you want to achieve great things, you must avoid the benevolence of women!"

The two were still arguing about something, but Zhong Shuping had no time to listen.

Xiao Bai kept swinging his long sword, but the arrows kept coming. He protected Zhong Shuping well, but he was completely exposed to the arrows.There were sharp whistles from below the city tower, each one getting shriller than the other.

Xiao Bai tried his best to protect Zhong Shuping, raised his hand and lifted him over the wall: "Xin Fu is under the wall, let's go!"

Zhong Shuping grabbed Xiao Bai's arm and didn't let go.

Xiao Bai was angry: "Let's go!"

During the tugging, the jade pendant fell out from Zhongshuping's neck, Xiao Bai paused: "It's you..."

In the next moment, he raised his hand and chopped off his neck without hesitation, Zhong Shuping's eyes went dark, and he fell to the city...

When he opened his eyes again, Xin Fu was seriously injured beside him.

Xin Fu obeyed Xiao Bai's order to send Zhong Shuping away that day, it was too late to turn back, he even failed to get back Xiao Bai's body, and he repeatedly missed in attacking Xuntai day and night.

Zhong Shuping touched the jade pendant on his chest, and told Xin Fu: "Go back to the capital immediately and find Mr. Gongsun. Don't delay for a moment, the sooner the better."

Xin Fu refused: "Young master said, no matter when and where, you should come first in everything, and I won't leave."

Zhong Shuping raised his hand and pulled out the long sword from Xin Fu's waist, and stabbed at his own arm. Xin Fu: "Let's go?"

Xin Fu's eyes were bloodshot: "Let's go."

Uncle Zhong has been practicing literature and martial arts for 15 years. The army only knows that he is unparalleled in wisdom and tactics, but they don't know that his martial arts skills are also extraordinary.

Even if the heart is as open-minded as Zhong Shuping, at this moment, it is inevitable that sadness and regret come from it.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhong Shuping sneaked into the general's mansion in Xuntai, holding Xiao Bai's body, all the way quietly.Xiao Jiu stood at the corner, his figure was hidden in the corridor, he couldn't see clearly: "...you know martial arts? Then why did you—"

Zhong Shuping didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he walked past him without turning his head, and walked out, and disappeared into the night in a moment, hard to find.

I don't know how many days and nights I walked, but the river in my memory still flows quietly like it did back then.The seemingly calm surface of the river is turbulent underwater.

Zhong Shuping took out the jade pendant from his bosom, hung it gently on Xiao Bai's waist, and straightened Xiao Bai's riddled clothes. Zhong Shuping stared at the peaceful face in front of him, and sighed silently in his heart, who is it? more stupid...

He lowered his head, touched the corners of Xiao Bai's chapped lips, and whispered softly in his ear: "If there is an afterlife, we will not be enemies..." Then he picked up Xiao Bai and jumped in, repeating "Xiao Bai" over and over again in his heart. "Bai" "Xiao Bai"...

The words from many years ago suddenly echoed in my ears, "Why are you so careless... This river is fierce..."
