Married to a nemesis

One month is too fast, tomorrow is the day to make an appointment with Pei Qian.

Yuan Ji Nian put away his sword, the moon had been hanging on the treetops for a long time, the night was already deep, but in this small town, no one could sleep.

The sound of military training came from far away from the newly established venue, and it still sounded so reassuring, as if it was the same as usual when they were training together, there was no difference.

It's just that the depressive and unreasonable tension was still sent by the wind in waves, permeating everyone.

He was still standing on the city tower, and he could see all the scenes in his eyes. He didn't know if it was his psychological effect or what. Looking at it this way, under the light, everyone seemed to be extremely anxious.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Jinian put down his sword, went down the tower, and decided to take a breath.

After walking casually downstairs for a while, he already felt a bit cold and couldn't stand it anymore, so Yuan Ji Nian returned to the room and reminded the people in the room to come to the banquet at Xushi.

This is the feast that must be had before every war.

Because no one knows whether the meal eaten during the battle is the last meal, so at this banquet, the soldiers will use this to indulge their emotions that have been suppressed for a long time. Rarely will anyone be held accountable.

"You really believe him?"

Yuan Ji Nian was about to step in when he heard a familiar voice.

For some unknown reason, perhaps because Xu Zuo's tone was too surprised and deliberately lowered, Yuan Ji Nian subconsciously took half a step back, put down the curtain, and stopped outside.

The curtain moved a few times before it stopped, and the people in the room continued to talk.

"If he colludes with that...that dark army commander to deceive us, the consequences will be disastrous." Another general said.

"Yes." The others responded one after another.

"Are we going to follow his command?"

When Yuan Ji Nian heard this, he knew he was saying that he hadn't run away.

But when he returned to Song Dynasty, he had expected such a situation.With the face of Prince Zhou, saying that he is Prince Song, it is difficult for any fool to believe this.

And he still chooses to stay here, just hoping that when necessary, he can be used as the final exchange of the Song Army at a critical moment.

"If you can think of it, His Majesty will naturally think of it. I received a letter before, and His Majesty said that we should cooperate with him first, and then do it when necessary."

This is Li Zhimao's voice.

Yuan Ji Nian didn't listen any more, smiled calmly, turned around and went to the training ground, and informed the others to come to the banquet on time.

This time the banquet was full of seats, and several people chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was still very harmonious. It did not feel the tension before the war, and it made people relax a lot.

Yuan Ji Nian couldn't stop drinking a few more glasses, he put down the glass and was about to say something to someone, when he looked down, he realized that there were only two or three people at the table, and there was no room for him to speak.

Obviously, he was the most redundant one in the whole banquet.

Therefore, Yuan Ji Nian got up, patted his clothes and went out. Before leaving, he reluctantly drank a glass of wine.But even if he walked out openly, no one noticed.

As soon as the curtain was opened, a gust of cold wind came in, and his body, which had just been warmed by drinking wine, still couldn't bear it, so Yuan Ji Nian tightened his clothes.

Just when he lowered his head and closed his clothes, there was a sound of copper coins colliding in his ears.

Yuan Ji Nian looked up, locked his eyes for a moment, and then walked to the place where the voice came from.

There was a person under the tree, and there was a small table in front of him, and there was a hexagram plate on the small table.

The man was wearing a loose Taoist robe, and his back was straight.Yuan Ji Nian came to him with doubts, the man was closing his eyes, shaking his hands together violently, his expression was also very pious, and he was still muttering something.

Yuan Ji Nian waited for him to stop, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you figure out?"

"Tomorrow's battle will definitely be a big victory." After comparing the hexagrams, the man vowed.

Yuan Ji Nian picked up the copper coin that was covered by him with two fingers, and after looking at it for a long time, he smiled: "Oh? How do you say that?"

"According to the hexagram, if the official star holds the world, there must be great luck. Without the entanglement of the evil star around His Highness, the gods will naturally help out in secret. As long as His Highness consciously cuts off contact with those evil people, everything will go smoothly tomorrow. .”

The copper coin in Yuan Ji Nian's hand fell onto the hexagram plate, clapped his hands and snorted mockingly: "Just move your mouth, shake a copper coin, and the future of Song Dynasty will be determined?"

The celestial master also stood up, put away the hexagram plate, and argued with him: "Everything, everything has a definite number."

"Then you do the math, when will you die, if you don't know for sure, don't take your head."

"I dare not." The Celestial Master glanced at his expression, paused for a while, then knelt down and begged him for forgiveness.

Yuan Ji Nian looked at the top of his head, then looked at the hexagram board on the desk, and finally kicked the desk to vent his anger before leaving.

But after going through the experience just now, a certain idea in his heart became more and more dominant, and finally, Yuan Ji Nian went straight to the stable to pull a horse out.

"Your Highness wants to..."

Yuan Ji Nian didn't have time to talk to the others, so he jumped on the horse and rode the horse all the way to the gate of the city before stopping.

With the wind whistling in his ears, Yuan Ji Nian sat on the horse and looked down at the people below: "Open the city gate."

"His Highness is dangerous outside the city..."

Yuan Ji Nian grabbed the horse's reins impatiently, the pulled horse's head shook, and he said: "This is an order."

The person at the gate was still standing in front of the city gate, looking behind him with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"What is your Highness going to do?" said a voice behind Yuan Jinian.

He turned his horse's head and faced the few people who were following him.

"Go out for a walk." Lang Run's young voice carried the wind to their ears far away.

"The fight will start tomorrow, and His Highness still has leisure time to walk the horse?" Li Zhimao stood at the front, looking at him in shock, with a tone that sounded like a question.

Yuan Jinian shrugged: "As you said, once you are interested, you can't stop it."

"How can this be done..." Li Zhimao turned his attention to the two soldiers guarding in front of the city gate, and gestured for them to step up their guard.

Yuan Ji Nian looked at Ding You who was next to Li Zhimao, who immediately took a step forward and explained: "Your Highness still has something to do, let His Highness leave."

"Old Ding..." Seeing that Ding You didn't cooperate with him, Li Zhimao was about to persuade him again, but the city gate had already been opened under Ding You's instructions.

Yuan Ji Nian nodded his thanks to Ding You, turned his horse around and left.

The horse galloped all the way, and then slowed down after a while.

Yuan Ji Nian didn't urge it, and let the horse go by itself.The horse stopped and stopped along the way, and finally brought him to a swamp before coming to a complete stop.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Yuan Ji Nian suddenly remembered that this was the place Pei Qian mentioned in his letter about the battle.

He has been here more than a dozen times, and each time he used the excuse of "getting familiar with the terrain in advance" to convince him that he came here for nothing else.

But every time I have to use the same excuse to make myself feel at ease, on the contrary, I want to cover up more and more.

It's just that during this period of time, ever since I received Pei Qian's letter, a sudden idea has gathered day and night, gradually forming some inexplicable expectation.

But he didn't know what he was looking forward to, just like a farmer in the field always looking forward to the reappearance of the rabbit he wanted.

The white horse is grazing leisurely, and the brilliance of the moon falls on it, giving off a silvery luster.

Yuan Ji Nian looked around, not knowing what he was looking for by the moonlight.

"You're here too." A soft laugh suddenly appeared.

The voice was right behind him.

The moment Yuan Ji Nian turned his head and looked back, he felt that he had found what he was looking for.

"Yeah." He smiled at Pei Qian, and hoarsely said to an acquaintance, "You...you are here too."

Pei Qian stood some distance away from him, just enough to be able to vaguely see his face.

However, this vague feeling always made him feel extremely unreal. He was afraid that the person standing opposite him was actually a white shadow under the moonlight, which would disappear as soon as he got close.

Especially when Pei Qian's white clothes covered Yuehua, this illusory feeling became even stronger.

"What is your highness coming to do?"

Yuan Ji Nian seemed to smile when he saw Pei Qian in the distance, he raised his head and pointed at the moon, and replied, "I can't sleep, come out for a walk, and you too..."

Pei Qian smiled again, this time because Pei Qian took a few steps forward, Yuan Ji Nian actually saw Pei Qian smiling, but he still didn't realize the joke he had made just now.

"I come here every night, just to familiarize myself with the terrain in advance, arrange the manpower, and ensure that tomorrow's battle will be foolproof."

Pei Qian had already walked in front of him, and it was only when Yuan Ji Nian noticed that the wide robe on his body was constantly being blown in by the wind.

Thinking that the severe winter night wind was already biting like water in a glacial river, Yuan Ji Nian took off his black-bottomed gold-edged fox-fur cloak and wrapped it tightly around him without thinking.

After a while, Pei Qian was wrapped into a small black ball by him. Her whole body was covered with fluff, but she still couldn't stop her thin body.

It was rare for Pei Qian not to reject him, her dense eyelashes just blinked to cover up the panic in her eyes, her pale lips moved, then she raised her eyelids to look at him sideways, and said seriously: " Thank you for your love, Your Highness, I used to be ignorant of flattery, and openly offended His Highness many times, I hope His Highness will forgive me."

Yuan Ji Nian was silent when he met those bright eyes, as if wondering if the other party was really Pei Qian.

Looking back on the past, there was never a time when Pei Qian spoke to him in a condescending manner, with her neck raised like a white goose's neck. How could she ever speak to him in such a submissive tone when she bowed down in front of him.

Yuan Ji Nian thought more than once, if Pei Qian had treated him with this attitude earlier, how could the two of them have reached the point where they could fight to the death.

But today, Pei Qian suddenly changed his attitude towards him, which made Yuan Ji Nian suddenly uncomfortable.

"Aren't you trying to trick me again?" Yuan Jinian didn't stay away from him, but grabbed Pei Qian's hand.

"I don't." Pei Qian also stubbornly argued with him. She didn't know what was going on on her face, and there was no trace of blood on her lips. When she spoke, she was weak, and she always seemed to be holding her breath.

Yuan Ji Nian didn't care to doubt his words, just now when he touched Pei Qian's hand, he frowned angrily, grabbed his shoulder as if to question his enemy, and his voice was a bit fierce: "How long have you been standing here? "

As he said that, his other hand fell on Pei Qian's forehead, wanting to check the temperature.

Pei Qian was shaken by his shoulders, she couldn't hold on for a long time, she was about to fall down at any moment, and now because she wanted to avoid Yuan Jinian's touch, her body lost her balance, she really couldn't stand, her feet went limp It was in Yuan Jinian's arms.

His eyes also suddenly went dark, his brain ached, and he pointed to the sky and said in a daze, "Fireworks."

Yuan Ji Nian knew what was going on without looking up, just now when he touched Pei Qian's forehead, it was as hot as a tongue of fire, which made people panic.

He hugged Pei Qian, let the other person's chin rest on his shoulder, and felt the other person's irregular breathing in his ear: "It's the fireworks in your head."

"Really?" Pei Qian couldn't even open her eyes.

"Nonsense." Yuan Ji Nian was too lazy to talk to him, but just hugged Pei Qian tightly, letting him absorb the warmth from his body, and at the same time asked forcefully, "How long have you been here?"

Pei Qian waved four fingers in front of Yuan Ji Nian, and said nonchalantly, "It's only three hours."

Yuan Ji Nian took a deep breath, suppressed his temper for the time being, and continued to ask patiently: "What are you doing for so long?"

"I have something to ask you."

Yuan Ji Nian had already picked him up, and his steps suddenly paused: "Please?"

Suddenly something rubbed in front of him, Yuan Ji Nian didn't pay much attention, his mind was on what Pei Qian had to say.

It wasn't until there was more wet liquid on his hand that he saw Pei Qian raised his head, the corner of his mouth twitching and bleeding, and he lowered his head to see that his dagger was being inserted into Pei Qian's abdomen, and it was gradually buried in blood. Pei Qian's white clothes were also red.

He immediately understood Pei Qian's intentions.

"Are you going to use death to force me to agree to your request?"

Pei Qian was injured, and immediately jolted, which would only aggravate the injury.Yuan Ji Nian gave up riding the horse, picked him up again, and hurried back.

Pei Qian's consciousness was already blurred, she put her hands on Yuan Ji Nian's waist, and kept muttering, "If I hadn't exposed His Highness's identity, His Highness would still be able to live as Prince Zhou and help me rescue the Pei family. , I know, I know it's wrong to think this way, but...but I can't find any other way."

"The entire life of the Pei family depends on me alone. If I can't win, the Pei family will die, but if I win, you will die."

"..."

"I don't want you to die."

As he spoke, he began to weep, like a drunk man playing drunk.

"They threatened me with the life of Pei's family, and I can't do anything."

"If I die, I can take a step ahead, and I won't be with them in the underworld."

"What are you dying for?" Yuan Ji Nian stopped him, his sweat mixed with Pei Qian's blood dropped drop by drop on the road, "I won't let you die easily, we always have a solution of."

"Impossible, impossible..." Pei Qian shook her head, but her hands grabbed Yuan Jinian's sleeve even more uneasily.

Yuan Jinian also learned a little about Pei Qian's family from the memories in his mind and the words of others.

What kind of family is the Pei family? They always see Pei Qian as a son when he is useful, and when he is useless, they wish to pretend that they don't know Pei Qian.

Including the last time that the lustful and gambler Pei Chong had someone poison Pei Qian, he only found out about it from Mr. Wen after he asked him about it the next day.

Probably after he knew all this, what he wanted to do the most was to protect Pei Qian so that he would not be hurt again.

But in the end, he still didn't protect Pei Qian well, and even thought of hurting him.

Yuan Ji Nian wiped away the blood stains on Pei Qian's lips with his index finger, and said in a calm voice, "Don't worry, I have a solution."

Pei Qian nodded weakly, and with trembling wrists, stretched her hand to her waist, took off the commonly used folding fan and handed it to him: "Here's this fan for you, keep it for me."

"Okay." Yuan Ji Nian didn't want to upset him, so he obeyed him as much as possible, and quickened his pace.

—

Pei Qian didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, he was in a strange place.

A piece of elegant plain curtains fluttered around, Pei Qian felt his body was a little numb, he propped himself up and sat up, got out of bed without even thinking about putting on his coat.

Stepping on the floor with bare feet and looking around, Pei Qian was stunned.

Hanging around here are all their own portraits.

where is he.

"Are you awake? You have been asleep for a month. If you don't wake up again, I will buy you a coffin." Someone pushed the door open and came in. The bowl in his hand was filled with steam, and the mist wrapped around him like fairy air. , even covering his face.

Pei Qian glared at him, eager to find out the situation first, grabbed his hand and asked, "Where are we?"

"Do you still remember the words written on your mother's folding fan?" Yuan Jinian put the porridge on the side of the table, and was about to continue talking with him, when he lowered his head and saw the two little feet under the hem of his clothes, he stopped what he wanted to say. .

"I know, what's the matter?" Pei Qian urged him to continue. After seeing Yuan Ji Nian approaching him, before he could guess what he was going to do, she was in his arms the next second.

Pei Qian opened her eyes wide and wrapped her arms around his waist, fearing that she would fall, she also rubbed her head against him, she buried her head and dared not look at him, she seemed a little ashamed.

"Still reluctant to let go." They all reached the bedside, seeing Pei Qian still unwilling to let go, Yuan Ji Nian sighed, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Jiu Yu has become so clingy."

"Shut up. Tell me what's going on?" Pei Qian insisted on pulling him to sit next to her.

"I know you're impatient, so I'll tell you directly." Yuan Jinian unfolded the folding fan that Pei Qian gave him that night, pointed to the words on it, and said, "During the time you were sleeping, I wrote a letter and sent it to The palace, after the letter arrived at the palace, the emperor called me back to the palace."

"I told the emperor that you already know that I am not the real Prince Zhou."

"Emperor Zhou doesn't want to, of course the fewer people need to know, the better, but unless he wants to call you, otherwise he won't be able to set foot in the capital again in this life."

After getting the answer, Pei Qian was still uneasy, so he asked again: "Then what should they do? Will it be all right?"

"Just don't worry, they'll be fine." Yuan Jinian put his arm around Pei Qian's shoulder, his eyes became a little colder, "As long as you're here for a day, the Pei family will be safe and sound."

"Later the emperor asked me if we had decided where to live. At that time, I happened to be holding the folding fan you gave me, and when I unfolded it, I saw this place. Yi Yang, it's your father..."

Yuan Ji Nian glanced at his face and corrected, "The place where General Pei and your mother once lived."

"What about you? What do you do?" After hearing this, Pei Qian raised her head, grabbed his clothes, and asked him to clarify, "I always feel that you have something to hide from me, and all of this is conditional, right?"

Yuan Ji Nian comforted his back, and said slowly: "Conditions, yes. The emperor will declare that I am dead, but he still wants me to enter the palace in disguise every New Year's Day. After all, this body belongs to Prince Zhou. If you miss him, you can take a look at your own son and understand."

Pei Qian was dubious: "The emperor didn't make things difficult for you?"

Yuan Ji Nian smiled frankly: "Of course not."

"You're so kind." Pei Qian was so excited by the result that she couldn't help but hugged Yuan Jinian.

Yuan Ji Nian had no choice but to accept this firm hug, but couldn't help but let out a soft "hiss".

"What's wrong with you? It looks like it hurts a lot. Are you injured?" Pei Qian let go of Yuan Ji Nian after hearing that sound of inhalation, and was about to pick his clothes to look.

Yuan Ji Nian dodged unnaturally and quickly grabbed his hand, but the burning pain on his back seemed to stimulate him intentionally, and the pain became more severe every time.

"Then how will you repay me?" Yuan Jinian ignored the pain in his body and rubbed his waist with his palm.

Pei Qian hooked his neck with a smile, and gave him a light touch on the side of his face.

"How did you get those paintings?" After the kiss, Pei Qian pointed to the paintings and asked him.

Yuan Ji Nian said: "I... I asked someone else to draw it."

"You didn't draw it?"

"Ah."

Pei Qian pulled one down dissatisfied: "Then why keep it?"

"I want to see it, so I can see you when I open my eyes." After seeing the medicine on the table, Yuan Ji Nian patted himself on the head, and brought the medicine bowl from the table, "I almost forgot, drink it quickly The medicine, the medicine is getting cold."

"Okay." Pei Qian took the initiative to take the medicine bowl, bowed her head and pecked lightly, took a sip of the bitter taste, quickly put down the bowl, pointed to her mouth, "Hurry up, it's so bitter."

Yuan Ji Nian had already prepared candied fruit, but when he was about to pick it up, Pei Qian stopped him.

"I mean, I want you to kiss." Pei Qian pointed to her mouth.

"what?"

"Hurry up." Pei Qian closed her eyes, like a child begging for candy, hoping to see her favorite candy when she opened her eyes again.

Feeling his breath getting closer, the corners of Pei Qian's mouth slightly curled up.

I just want to stay in this moment forever.

Yuan Ji Nian also had the same idea.

After touching the softness, Yuan Ji Nian felt that the pain on his back was nothing.

When he returned to the palace, Zhou Huang thought that he was possessed by a ghost, and he did not know where to find a way to drive the ghost away.First, they sent someone to tie him up, strip him clean, beat him with a whip dipped in wine for an hour, and let him stay in the cold well water, experiencing what the wizard called "soul washing" over and over again.

Every time he returned to the palace, he would have to go through this torture again, but as long as he persisted in coming back alive, he would be able to see Pei Qian.

With him, everything is worth it.

The author has something to say: This spicy chicken article has no logic, the characters are not three-dimensional, and the plot is not complete. It is a waste of my time****
