Tread thousands of dust

When returning to the Mo House, Mo Feng specially asked Ling Ziming and Shu Qiyun to go together, and himself to go with Xun Can.

When they went out, Mo Fengyi said: "Actually, from my point of view, I will definitely kill Tao Fanzun."

Xun Can wondered, "Why?"

"Otherwise, I'm sorry for your father and those soldiers who died in battle." Mo Fengyi said naturally, "Although this man is the god of war to Han Nai, he is a disaster to Bei Yi. I absolutely cannot keep him."

His eyes were cold, and Xun Can had no doubt that this person would kill him, leaving no possibility of others threatening him.

Xun Can shook his head: "The Emperor should agree to send Tao Fanzun back to Hanna."

Mo Fengyi also knew that, after all, the people of Tongzhou couldn't bear another war.

Xun Can coughed a few times, then struggled and said: "Actually... what you said to Zi Ming, I and the prince heard it."

Mo Fengyi frowned: "What?"

"It wasn't intentional. I was just about to go in, but the crown prince wouldn't let me in." Xun Can dared not look at him, and said with his head down.

Mo Feng was funny, he had never seen Xun Can short of breath before, so he couldn't help teasing him, pretending to be angry: "Eavesdropping on the corner of the wall is not the work of a gentleman."

Xun Can nodded: "I know, so I apologize to you, but I have a question."

Mo Feng asked curiously, "What's the problem?"

Xun Can asked him sternly: "I heard you tell Ziming not to entangle her and procrastinate, what about you?"

"What me? What's wrong with me?"

Xun Can couldn't wait to ask: "When making a decision, when you encounter...emotions, will you be straightforward?"

Mo Fengyi couldn't help opening his mouth slightly to answer, but he suddenly realized that he was not straightforward at all, so he could only lie and say: "I... sure, do you think I look like a sloppy person?"

Xun Can seemed to know something and just nodded.

Here Shu Qiyun also confessed to Ling Ziming, and Ling Ziming also guessed, so he lowered his voice: "Then His Royal Highness, you should know what I will do."

Shu Qiyun hurriedly said: "I only know that you also have feelings for me."

Ling Ziming got angry: "But I have already said, it is impossible for us, you know it very well."

Seeing her ruthless, Shu Qiyun was very sad: "But I don't want to, you think about your friends, not yourself, but me too?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that there's no need to think about it. Anyway, I'll go back to Pan Xiaotai soon, and I don't have to see you again." Ling Ziming refused him reluctantly and sadly.

"Why? Isn't Mo Fengyi planning to stay?" Shu Qiyun asked anxiously, he didn't want the first girl he liked to leave just like that.

Ling Ziming replied coldly: "He is him, I am me, we are not bound together, it has nothing to do with me if he stays." She changed the subject, "Your Highness, we are not suitable."

Shu Qiyun said angrily: "If you're worried about Jiang Mang, I'll go and explain to her. If you're worried that we won't end, I'll fight with Father. We haven't even started. Are you so eager to deny it?"

Ling Ziming closed her eyes deeply, she was indeed moved, she longed to believe in this person, but who knew if he could be trusted?

"Your Highness, there is no need to start. I can already predict the ending. You are the crown prince, and your wife must be worthy of your status. Naturally, you will not let me carry the big sedan chair. The Ming media is marrying and becoming the official wife, and I, Ling Ziming, have a high heart." You are arrogant, and you absolutely don't want to be a concubine, so you don't have to think about it." She was busy sending him away, and she really didn't want this person to give her any hope.

Shu Qiyun is in a very difficult situation. He really likes this arrogant Jianghu girl. Unlike Yingying and Yanyan beside him, Ling Ziming is beautiful and elegant, chic and smart, and she really understands him. The only person who can wake him up when he is confused , he didn't want to let go.

"Can't you give me a chance? I can handle these things well." He looked at Ling Ziming, the sincerity in his eyes made the girl dazed, and he almost agreed, but she was too clear-headed to know that it was impossible.

"Your Highness, you have more important things to deal with, so don't waste your time on me, I'm going back." She only hesitated for a moment, then got up, walked past Shu Qiyun, and left by herself.

Shu Qiyun was stunned and lost. He had been proud for more than ten years, and there was never anything he couldn't get, but now this girl gave him a headache.

Since then, even Ling Ziming didn't go to the Guozi Academy anymore, and he didn't even see anyone with Mo Fengyi. When he was announced to the palace, he saw Shu Qiyun again.

Shu Hanxu frowned, and Shu Qiyun who was sitting beside him also had a bad expression.

The emperor who was no longer young settled down for a while, and then said: "Feng Yi, do you know why I want to announce you into the palace this time?"

Mo Fengyi had no expression on his face, and returned lightly: "Fengyi heard that the emperor is worried about the negotiations with the Hanna mission recently."

Shu Hanxu nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, I called you today because of this. I have decided to agree to their request and send Tao Fanzun back as long as they don't invade the border of Beiyi again."

Mo Fengyi was not very surprised, he continued to ask: "Since the emperor has made a decision, what can Fengyi do?"

"You are a very smart child. I plan to entrust you with the task of escorting him back to Hannai." Shu Hanxu sat behind Yulong Terrace with a calm tone, but Mo Fengyi shuddered for no reason.

He also planned to refuse without thinking: "Your Majesty, Feng Yi...is hard to take on the big job."

"Give me a reason."

Mo Fengyi thought over and over again, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Fengyi has little talent and little knowledge, I'm afraid I can't afford such an important task."

Shu Hanxu took a deep breath and said, "Actually, Qi Yun recommended you to me, and we all believe that you are fully capable of protecting him."

Mo Fengyi didn't look up at Shu Qiyun, he knew that this person was trying to win him over, after this mission was successfully completed, he would be able to turn himself into an official of the imperial court and stay in the imperial city generously. It's Shu Qiyun.

Or maybe, Shu Qiyun gave himself such a good opportunity because of Zi Ming...

Mo Fengyi hasn't come to a conclusion yet. Anyway, he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, and he doesn't bother to get involved in these country-to-country trivial matters. If he really plans to join the court, he has his own way, and he doesn't need others to tell him recommend.

Here Shu Hanxu saw that he did not respond, so he continued: "I have already considered it. This time I will escort Tao Fengzun back to Hannai. As a deputy envoy, if you don't want to..." He paused, "I won't force it."

When Mo Fengyi heard Xun Can's name, he was ready to agree. The emperor gave him the right to refuse, but obviously this person never gave him the chance to refuse.

He wanted to be with Xun Can, otherwise staying in the imperial city would be boring, so he agreed:

"Since the emperor gave me the opportunity, then Feng Yi will not refuse, I am willing to go to Hanna."

Shu Hanxu said happily after hearing this: "I have been thinking about whether to let you go these few days. Wen Yanhuai and Xun Can just wait to receive the order, but you are the only one. I want to know what you mean."

Mo Fengyi was silent for a moment, he really couldn't figure out the meaning of his uncle, saying that he was ruthless, and neither was he affectionate, so Mo Fengyi could only follow his words: "Fengyi understands, I will definitely keep people safe Send it back to Hanna, and live up to the emperor's expectations."

Shu Hanxu began to draw up the decree with satisfaction.

When Mo Fengyi and Shu Qiyun went out, he couldn't help asking: "Why do you recommend me?"

Shu Qiyun said as a matter of course: "This is your chance to make meritorious service. You will take the imperial examination next spring and you will soon be an official in the court. You need this opportunity."

Mo Fengyi had a sullen face, he really didn't like someone making decisions for him, but it was obvious that Shu Qiyun was sure that he would be on his side, so he went to the emperor without authorization.

But Mo Fengyi was very unhappy, the prince was very outstanding, a person who had struggled in the muddy waters of the court since he was a child was about to be assimilated, he was too good at winning people's hearts and using tricks, Mo Fengyi couldn't help worrying about Ling Ziming.

He said lightly: "Then thank the prince for his support, I will never forget it."

When Mo Fengyi spoke, he stared at Shu Qiyun, causing the man to feel a shudder down his spine, and replied: "Fengyi, I am not your enemy, we will definitely become friends in the future, just like Ah Can and I."

It's fine if he doesn't mention this person, but when he mentioned Xun Can and Mo Fengyi, he would get angry. If this person didn't get close to the prince, he would definitely not accept the prince's love.

Mo Feng frowned anxiously and depressed: "I'm different from Xun Can. I don't like to be restrained. Your Highness the Crown Prince and I may not be the same way."

Since Ling Ziming intends to stay away from him, of course he should not get too close to him.

When Mo Fengyi arrived in a hurry, he left the palace straight away.

When Xun Can received the order, he was in a complicated mood. After much deliberation, he decided to go to his uncle's house to settle his mind.

Gongsun Ao was not surprised by his arrival, but Gongsun Songli was extremely disturbed.

"Brother! Are you really going? Has the emperor really issued an order? When are you leaving?" Gongsun Songli didn't stop asking him since he entered the door.

Gongsun Ao waved his hand to signal him to shut up.

Xun Can sat on a chair beside him and remained silent.

Gongsun Ao recalled: "It's not the first time you have left the imperial city. You have never been so entangled when Yuzhi took you to fight."

Just as Gongsun Songli was about to speak, he was frightened by his father's gestures.

Xun Can said with a sullen face, "Uncle, I'm not entangled."

Gongsun Ao didn't know what he was thinking, his nephew was tall and dazzling, he was able to make meritorious service on the battlefield at the age of 14, he was the most tolerant and open-minded person, but this did not mean that he could accept that the murderer who killed his father was released.

"A Can, this is the emperor's decision. I know you are not happy, but since the emperor asked you to go to Hanna, I intend to make you look away." Gongsun Ao followed him carefully, and he didn't want to watch his nephew immersed in love. In pain.

Xun Can closed his eyes and adjusted his emotions: "I understand, and I also know the painstaking efforts of the emperor, I will definitely complete the task."

Gongsun Ao knows Xun Can's sensibility. This child is the most outstanding and the most reassuring among all the sons of the country. He has always been the pride of others. Both Yu Zhi and Wen Yanhuai regard him as the hope for the future. They all favored him and gave him an official position early.

But this kind of Xun Can made his uncle feel distressed. He only wanted to keep the child's thoughts in his heart, and he always digested it by himself, and never told anyone.

He sighed: "The last stop of this mission is Baidaokou, Tongzhou, which is the place where the two countries meet. Your father is buried there. Go and see him, kowtow more, he must really want to You, seeing you now, he will be happy and relieved."

Xun Can nodded silently, lowering his eyelids. Even Gongsun Songli felt that it was not suitable to speak now, but he still couldn't help worrying and said: "Brother, you must be careful when you go out this time, those Hanna people will definitely not let it go, if What should I do if I encounter any monsters?"

Gongsun Ao said with a relieved smile to Xun Can: "There is nothing terrible about demons and ghosts. Every inch of young hero's blood can scald them to death. You just go for it."

Xun Can also smiled and said, "Ah Can understands."

When Mo Fengyi returned to the Mo Mansion, his father sat quietly waiting for him.

Mo Xian already knew what happened, and his complexion was very bad. At the beginning, the emperor clearly promised him that he would not let Mo Fengyi participate in the affairs of the court, but the recent incidents were all related to his son, but he knew, As long as Mo Feng is willing, he can't stop him.

"When you come back and have a meal together, I'll go back to Pan Xiaotai." His tone was calm, but already sick.

Mo Fengyi didn't know how to face him, so he could only agree:

"Father, things in the alliance..."

"You don't need to worry about it." Mo Xian coughed a few times, and managed to suppress it before opening his mouth.

Mo Fengyi was about to step forward, but was stopped by him.

"Feng Yi, since you are going, you have to do things well, Zi Ming doesn't need it, let Ah Qian go with you, there is a care."

Mo Fengyi nodded, he dared not disagree with Mo Xian's meaning, his arrangement naturally made sense.

But Ling Ziming didn't want to, she didn't want to stay in the imperial city.

"Uncle, let me go too!" After hearing the news, she came to Mo Xian and begged him.

Mo Xian suppressed his cough and said with the blood in his throat: "Zi Ming, Hannai people have ulterior motives, this journey is not safe, you'd better stay by my side."

Ling Ziming hurriedly knelt down: "Uncle, I can take good care of myself, and I will definitely not hold back my brother. Just let me go too."

Mo Xian couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to follow her wish, and only confessed to Mo Fengyi that he must protect her well.

Mo Fengyi didn't understand why Ling Ziming followed, he asked again and again in the teahouse, and she said after annoying Ling Ziming:

"I haven't run far, and you don't even agree to this?"

Mo Fengyi chewed the pastry and sneered: "Pull it down, don't you just want to hide from people?"

Xun Can said: "It's hard to guess what the Hannai people think. The emperor is worried that something will happen, and even the escort team is first-class experts. Girl Ziming, I hope you think carefully."

Ling Ziming nodded firmly and said: "I want to go, you don't have to worry."

Then Mo Fengyi stopped entanglement, and said to Xun Can: "Xun Can, you don't have to feel uncomfortable. Although this general will be released, he is already a useless person. Now life is better than death."

Xun Can was stunned, this man could see the reason for his displeasure, but in fact he didn't want to take revenge or hate anything else, the pain of losing his father and mother when he was young was unknown to others, he just couldn't swallow this breath, and he also He didn't plan to do anything more with this person. After all, it was the grievances of his parents. His parents had died for many years, and it should have passed. This time he was escorted to Baidaokou. He was going to tell his father, and then he really let go.

Mo Fengyi said again: "Your father will be buried in Tongzhou. I will accompany you to see him then, okay? It should make him feel at ease, and you too... so at ease."

When he said this, he was almost cautious, for fear that what he said would make Xun Can even more irritable, but Xun Can was thinking, is this person a roundworm in his stomach?Mo Fengyi said whatever he thought, every word entered into his heart.

Xun Can smiled when he heard that: "Yes."

Only then did Mo Fengyi feel relieved. He was afraid that this person would still not be able to get out, so he thought about how to say it several times, and it worked.

Ling Ziming didn't notice the atmosphere between the two of them. She was very annoying in the past few days. Shu Qiyun didn't dare to confess to Jiang Mang without her consent, but he still came to look for her from time to time, which troubled Ling Ziming.

Xun Can continued: "Actually, I didn't expect that the emperor would let you go with me, and you would agree."

"It's okay, I was very interested in this matter at first, and—" he smiled sinisterly, "I also want to avenge the Jianghu brothers who were killed before."

Xun Can said nervously, "You can't kill him, Tao Feng can't die."

"Yes, he can't die, but it's not him who I want to avenge, so it doesn't matter what kind of new geese pass through the makeup building." Mo Fengyi gritted his teeth with hatred when he thought of the beautiful and femme fatale girl, as if The face still hurts.

Xun Can explained to him: "She is a member of the mission, and the emperor also knows her identity, so he decided not to pursue the assassination." He was really worried that Mo Fengyi would take revenge, so he would definitely get into trouble, yes The safety of the people cannot be accounted for.

Mo Fengyi said indifferently: "My father and the emperor don't pursue it. They are tolerant, but I am different. I am narrow-minded, and I will take revenge. More than 30 brothers who died can't just forget it."

Ling Ziming knew she couldn't stop her, so she didn't speak.

Xun Can continued to persuade him very anxiously: "If the emperor and Uncle Mo don't pursue it, they are worried about the war disaster again. You clearly know that there will be no accidents with this escort, so can't you let it go first?"

"It's okay, I guarantee their safety in Beiyi territory, but when they enter Hannai, it has nothing to do with us, and then—" he scratched his neck, "I will take revenge."

Xun Can frowned, but Mo Fengyi laughed:

"Just kidding, am I so ignorant?"

Xun Can was still not at ease: "You better know what you should do, don't be impulsive, even if you want to avenge this revenge, it's not now."

Mo Fengyi reluctantly obeyed: "All right, all right, I understand."

Ling Ziming was just about to rest that night when she heard a servant girl calling her.

"Miss, a book boy is here to invite you out."

Ling Ziming asked curiously: "It's so late? Who is it?"

The servant girl timidly replied: "I don't know, Miss, go to the door and ask him."

Ling Ziming had no choice but to go to the front door.

She recognized the book boy as Shu Qiyun's confidant.

The book boy was very happy to see her going out, and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness invites Miss Ling to the Prince's Mansion to have a talk."

Ling Ziming directly refused: "Today is too late, you go back."

The book boy refused to let go: "Miss Ling, you will leave tomorrow with the mission, and the crown prince wants to see you off tonight, and I hope Miss Ling, don't refuse."

Ling Ziming turned around and paused, yes, I'm leaving tomorrow.Go and meet, you probably won't meet again in the future.

She followed the sedan chair prepared by the book boy to the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as Ling Ziming got off the sedan chair, she saw Shu Qiyun smiling at her at the door.She was in a trance for a moment, and she didn't want to leave, but she calmed down and smiled at the man.

Shu Qiyun put his finger on the corner of his mouth when she approached: "Hush, come with me."

She stopped talking and followed Shu Qiyun through the courtyards of the Prince's Mansion. There were no servants behind them, and the quiet night market enveloped them lightly.

Ling Ziming suddenly thought, just stop at this moment.

Shu Qiyun twisted and twisted all the way, the Prince's Mansion was very big, he stumbled into the most inconspicuous courtyard inside.

Seeing the scenery in front of her, Ling Ziming couldn't help holding her breath and opened her eyes wide. There was a small pond in the courtyard. It was the end of autumn at this time, but she actually admired the pond full of lotus flowers, and the flowers were still glowing with sparks. , Clusters of brilliance, blossoming, even the boundless night is dyed with gentle colors, the whole pond is shrouded in dense white and yellow firelight.

Ling Ziming was so surprised that he forgot to breathe for a moment, it was so beautiful, really so beautiful.

Shu Qiyun said nervously: "Originally... I planned to grow lotus here a few months ago, but in autumn, no matter how I raise it, I can't survive." His tone was trembling with uncertainty, "So... There is no way, these lotus flowers are made by me, they are fake, I'm sorry Zi Ming..."

"No." Ling Ziming interrupted him, "It's very beautiful, I like it very much."

"I also lit the candles on those flowers. I... hope you don't think the fake flowers are insincere." Although Shu Qiyun was very happy to hear that she liked it, he was still worried that Ling Ziming only wanted to comfort him because he didn't want to disappoint him. Own.

So real, exactly like a real lotus.

"You did it one by one?"

Shu Qiyun hurriedly replied: "Yes, I heard from Mo Fengyi that you like lotus the most."

Ling Ziming couldn't help laughing, Mo Fengyi must have thought that Shu Qiyun was deliberately making trouble for him if he wanted to be courteous, knowing that lotus flowers would not be able to grow at this time, and even told him that he likes lotus flowers, poor Shu Qiyun took it seriously, thinking I try my best to make lotus flowers. In fact, Ling Ziming likes all kinds of flowers, and every kind of flower has its beauty.

But she didn't intend to spoil Shu Qiyun's interest, so she readily replied: "Yes, I like lotus, thank you, these are beautiful."
