Suifang

Let's go and say goodbye, I don't know when we will meet again.

Xia Suijin suddenly felt a headache, and her eyes were sore.He staggered off his horse and said:

"Come closer. How can I hug you when you stand so far away?"

But Yu Fang moved over slowly, opened her lips slightly, and said, "Xiao Su, don't hug me, I'm afraid..."

"You always say you are afraid, what are you afraid of?...I never hurt you."

Yu Fang's cheeks were flushed, as if she couldn't speak.

Xia Suijin comforted her with a smile: "I'll only know if you tell me."

"Xiao Su don't laugh at me"

"I do not know"

"Yes, yes."

Yu Fang raised her head and looked at him timidly, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control it. Every time I hug you, I want to treat you very...excessively. The more Xiaosu takes the initiative, the more I want to go too far. I'm afraid One day... my excesses will hurt you."

"You, what kind of nonsense is this?"

Xia Suijin cupped Yu Fang's face in half-understandable manner, and asked, "How do you want to go too far?"

Yu Fang tremblingly put her hands on his waist, her cheeks were as red as rouge, and said, "Bed, bed..."

"Fang Lang, why are you so shy?!"

The more he watched, the happier he was, he pecked Yu Fang's lips lightly, and said, "I really want to swallow you in one bite."

Unexpectedly, Yu Fang responded solemnly: "I think so too."

"Haha! You just think about it. If I don't take the initiative, you won't even dare to hold my hand."

The heart is clear and cheerful, and there is no more confusion.

He climbed on the back of the horse, waved his arms high, looked at the figure in white clothes engraved with yearning that was fading away, and thought of the long road ahead and the rest of his life, he was no longer alone.

Passing through Lihua Town, the five big pear trees are covered with golden pears.Xia Suijin picked two, ate while walking, and drove the horse into Lihua Town.

As he was walking, a crying teenager suddenly appeared on the street and stopped in front of the horse.The horse was frightened and pouted and was about to step on it, so startled that he hurriedly grabbed the rein, stomped the horse's hooves a few times, and finally stopped.He asked with lingering fear:

"Why don't you watch the road?"

The young man wept very sadly and said, "I don't have a father anymore..."

With a thought in Xia Suijin's mind, a restrained sadness appeared on his face.He took out the money bag from his arms, and comforted awkwardly: "Don't cry, you can use this money to buy food and play, don't cry."

The boy hesitated for a moment, looked up at the purse tearfully, and said, "You really want to give it to me?"

"Yes, it's all for you."

The boy walked under the horse and stretched his arms to reach the money bag.Suddenly a cold light flew out from the young man's sleeve, slipped into his hand, and then stabbed at Xia Suijin.

Xia Suijin didn't move at all, the stars popped out between his fingers, and scattered towards the young man like blooming flying flowers.The young man fell limply under the horse's hooves, his two eyes of resentment and viciousness were like iron hooks, wishing to hook Xia Suijin off the horse, and then cut him to death.

Xia Suijinyou smiled comfortably and said, "Your father's death has nothing to do with me. If you want revenge, don't come to me, and you can't kill me."

Thousands of lives in Shenshui Pavilion have nothing to do with him.

He thought he had done good deeds, but he ended up being criticized in words and in writing.Xia Suijin smiled wryly, dropped the purse, and drove the horse towards Jinque City.

……

He thought he would see the prosperous and beautiful Jinque City, full of singing and dancing, but when he stepped into the majestic and majestic city gate, he was faced with a tiger-head patterned military flag slowly drifting by, and the people in white clothes on the street were mourning and wailing. The platoon of soldiers in uniform lowered their heads, and behind them a fierce horse neighed in the sky.

There was a bridle around the horse's neck, and a black coffin was dragged behind; on the vehicle behind was a corpse covered with a white cloth that was emitting a foul smell at this time.

"This, what's going on?"

Xia Suijin's ears were buzzing, and those crying and grief-stricken faces gradually faded away, and a handsome and gentle scholar-like face appeared in front of him.

He remembered that day, the Immortal Pavilion was full of singing and dancing, and all the children were drunk in the gentle village, but the young man was vigorous and straight, with a stern face, and said: Eat the king's salary, share the king's worries.

...Even if the subject dies in battle, the prince doesn't need to be sad, a glass of dirty wine is enough during the Ching Ming Festival.

The joke at that time turned out to be a prophecy.

Xia Suijin rushed to the palace, but was stopped by Shang Junxue outside the palace.

Shang Junxue used to be the tutor of the prince, and was very popular with the new emperor.

Shang Junxue's pupils were as dark and deep as a pool of ancient well water that has never been startled. When he stared at her, Xia Suijin felt guilty for no reason, and dared not say much.

"He doesn't want to see you, you go."

Xia Suijin turned back in disgrace

At this time, the gate of Daming Palace suddenly opened.He turned his head back in surprise, thinking that Brother Huang would like to see him, but he faced a gust of wind piercing through the air, an inkstone hit his forehead, and a coolness trickled down.

There was fury in the hall:

"--roll!!"

Xia Suijin was stunned for a long time before returning to his senses, and said, "Is even Big Brother blaming me?"

The gate slowly closes

He smiled miserably, raised his sleeve to wipe the blood on his forehead, and murmured softly, "Okay, I'll go."

This time, the heart is cold and chilling.

Xia Suijin didn't go back to Lord Ren, but went to Xianren Pavilion, only to learn that the war in Beimo had been planned for a long time.

Thinking of Chai Longjin

The mere Chai Longjin, really forced the peaceful and prosperous world of Huanchao into such a difficult and chaotic situation?

When he went to the General's Mansion, he wanted to mourn Huangfu Jingming, but he never thought that Huangfu Qi would stop him outside the mansion.

Huangfu Qi's body was soft and her face was beautiful, and she looked extremely weak.He looked at Xia Suijin very unkindly, and asked:

"Lord Ren, do you know how General Huangfu died?"

"Didn't you die on the battlefield?"

"If I really died on the battlefield, I wouldn't ask such a question."

Huangfu Qi showed a mocking coldness on his face, regardless of Xia Suijin's noble status as Lord Ren, raised his sharp chin, and spoke very slowly:

"It was poisoned."

He subconsciously thought it was impossible.

The general's whereabouts and meals are confidential, and he is not allowed to tell him at will. How could he be poisoned?

"For hundreds of years, the imperial family has guarded your great country and the military battlefield, just to win the reputation of a 'loyal minister and good general'. I am a layman, I don't know what is righteous, and I don't want to know what it's like to be famous through the ages, those' In my opinion, the reputations of "Great General" and unparalleled famous generals are blood-stained, and I don't know how many times I went through life and death in exchange for it, it's really not worth it!"

Xia Suijin frowned, and said: "What's the use of telling me these things? If you don't like it, just talk to Mr. Huangfu, smash the plaque of the general given by the emperor, and write a letter saying that he is too old to be selected." It’s useless, I have to resign and go back to seclusion. Let Huangfu Duanhe follow you, isn’t that enough? Why put on an air in front of this king, saying these things are useless.”

"...they are not like me"

"That's right, the Huangfu family has its own pride. You are an outsider. Although you have been given the surname 'Huangfu', you haven't learned a single bit of the soul here."

Xia Suijin supported the stone lion to sit down, and said: "The army of Beimo is overwhelming, Huangfu Jingming is dead, and Huangfu Duanhe is on top; to put it bluntly, if Huangfu Duanhe also dies, what if Huangfu is old? , as long as he is not too old to be confused, he has to go to the battlefield for the Huangfu family, even if he dies on the battlefield."

"It's vicious!"

"Huangfu Duanhe goes to the battlefield, even if you are a military adviser, you have to follow him. His safety depends on you."

Huangfu Qi proudly said: "That's natural."

Then, he looked at Xia Suijin's face again with intriguing eyes.

Xia Suijin subconsciously touched her face and said, "What?"

"Lord Ren, do you know the general trend of the world?"

"...?"

Huangfu Qi stood with his hands behind his back, with a dignified expression, his distant and vast eyes, and said: "The Huan Dynasty has been strong and peaceful for hundreds of years, but things will reverse when they are extremely prosperous, and when they are extremely prosperous, they will decline, and the trend of the world has come into being."

"Then as you said, what is the trend of the world?"

Xia Suijin's eyes turned cold, and there was a look of sullenness on his face.

"The vitality of the world is exhausted, and a newcomer will take its place."

After a pause, he sneered conceitedly again:

"The forces of martial arts have been destroyed one after another, especially the fire at Qianfu Mountain Villa, which caused people to complain and accuse the court of being cruel and unkind, and lost the hearts of the people; General Huangfu was well-known, but he was brutally poisoned, and people complained everywhere. There is room for salvation, but when they happen together, they block the way to survive. They happened so coincidentally, in my opinion, they must have been plotted by someone with a heart."

Xia Suijin couldn't hide her surprise, and said, "Your brain..."

"Prince Ren is in such a depressed state, it must be that the martial arts and his party have been plotted repeatedly and suffered a lot." Huangfu Qi said seriously, "Even the thoughtful and shrewd Prince Ren was defeated, it seems that the man has some real kung fu. "

"No, young master Huangfu, I think Huanchao can still be saved."

Xia Suijin suddenly bowed respectfully, and asked, "What's your opinion, young master?"

Huangfu Qi dismissed it: "I, Huangfu Qi, do not seek fame and wealth in this life, I just want to spend this life peacefully with Brother Huangfu."

"It's all right. You're just going to show me a fool."

He became more courteous, the Huangfu Qi in front of him did have some unique eyesight, it was his mistake, he didn't notice it before.

Huangfu Qi said: "I've never seen a prince like you, everyone said it's a dead end, how can there be salvation?"

"What about Huangfu Duanhe? According to his staunch and loyal temperament, if the Huan Dynasty is destroyed, he will die for the country with his own body." Xia Suijin was no longer in a hurry, and said slowly, "If you don't save the Huan Dynasty, you must save the Huan Dynasty." Let’s save your big brother Huangfu.”

"you!"

"Hee hee, tell me, I'll listen."

Huangfu Qi sat down on the steps angrily, raised his slender eyebrows, and said loudly: "There are so many ways! None of them can do it!"

"What... what do you mean?"

"Far water can't solve the near fire. Prince Hui is far away in the snow country, so far away can't solve the near fire. Prince Ning doesn't know where to go. Prince Xian and Prince Chen don't understand government affairs and military affairs, and none of them are useful."

Xia Suijin pointed to himself and asked, "What about me?"

Huangfu Qi glared at him fiercely: "You have to go to the guillotine to quell the anger of the people with your death."

At this evening, the breeze was not dry, and it was bitingly cold on the body.Xia Suijin couldn't help shrinking her neck, and asked: "Then?"

"Stay in front of your eyes, wait for the princes to return, and then plan carefully."

"It's dangerous to go here, if you don't return..."

Huangfu Qi wrung his fingers, his eyes were slightly red, and said: "Then I will live and die with him. I will do my best to assist Brother Huangfu, even if I can't...can't win the battle, I will die on the battlefield upright if I die. "

He added: "I won't come back, I know it. He has a big responsibility, so I will accompany him to do it."

Xia Suijin choked his throat, even Huangfu Qi, who he despises, has such integrity, he is a dignified and benevolent prince, a noble man, still reluctant to let go of this life?

"Okay, I'll tell Brother Huang tomorrow, this life... I don't want it, it's my fault anyway, and I should die as an apology."

If he had known that he was going to die, it would be better to die early, and save his father's life.

Seeing him slumped, Huangfu Qi snorted, "Not necessarily! If you want to die, it depends on Emperor Xia's reluctance."
