Chang'an Youth Tour

It has been seven days since Yu Yanran's transfer order came down.

In the past seven days, Ao Ji has explained everything that should be explained, and also allocated some things that are not needed, so it looks even more desolate.During the period, Nie Biao also visited Yan Junyu once, gloated and said with a smile: "Isn't this all right? Why are you still lying on the bed?"

Yan Junyu has been in good health since she was a child, and has never had a serious illness. In addition, the medicine she used was the best in the palace, so she recovered quickly.When Nie Biao came in to see him, he was lying on the bed reading a book. Hearing this, he knew that he was going to laugh at himself again, so he glared at him.

After staring at it, I realized something was wrong: "Where did you get your waist knife?"

Although Nie Biao played well with Ao Ji and the others, his background was ordinary.Ao Ji has a saber, which is a real Qiushui Yanling saber, with a sharkskin sheath, and the decoration on it is a golden unicorn.Last time Yan Junyu wanted to secretly play with his knife, but was caught by Ao Ji and almost beat him up - this knife is very sharp, Ao Ji was afraid that he would play secretly, so he told him a story The story of Jinyanghou's little master who accidentally cut off a finger while playing with a knife.

Nie Biao didn't know about this, so he showed off with a smile: "You said this, it was Ao Ji who sent me. When he went to the frontier, he fought on horseback. He didn't need the Yanling Saber, so he gave it to me."

Yan Junyu was so angry that his eyes went straight, he simply didn't even read the book, and turned his head to the side and pretended to be asleep.

Nie Biao still wanted to provoke him: "Hey, why don't you go to Ao Ji's place? After all the good things are distributed, don't cry."

He didn't know how angry Yan Junyu was with Ao Ji. Others treated him like a child, but he felt that he was already a very powerful adult. Ao Ji went to the frontier even if he didn't discuss it with him. He waited until the decision was made. Only after I told him did Yan Junyu get so angry that he got a headache.

Ao Ji didn't care about these things, and he didn't come to coax him. On the sixth day, the things were divided, and he was about to leave the next day, and he finally came.

Yan Junyu was still angry, and turned to face the wall, refusing to look at him.

Ao Ji didn't mind either, and just said indifferently: "I'll leave tomorrow morning, I leave my horse to you, the Xirong horse can't be idle, you ride it around twice a day."

Among his possessions, the most enviable thing is the blood-red bloody horse won from the Xirong people, which is not much worse than the snow-riding black horse of His Royal Highness. Even if Yan Junyu didn't go, Ao Ji still Saved the best for him.

Yan Junyu's eyes were hot, and he gritted his teeth, but refused to turn around.

Ao Ji also knew that he was quarreling, and was about to leave after sitting down, but stopped at the door again.

He was tall, and when he stood there, half of the room was dark, Yan Junyu saw his shadow falling on the wall, and seemed to be hesitating.

In fact, he has a tough temper, and he can't speak soft words. After a long silence, he said: "After I leave, you have to be careful alone."

Yan Junyu wiped his eyes vigorously, but did not speak.

"If you encounter trouble, go to Rong Hao." He paused, probably recalling Rong Hao's changes in the past six months, and he was not sure what he would become in the future, and added: "If the garrison doesn't change defenses, , it is the same with Yan Long."

The garrison changes defense every three years, and he won't be back for at least three years.

Yan Junyu panicked and was about to say something when the shadow on the wall flickered and it was Ao Ji who had gone out.

The next day was a sunny day.

Because he joined the army, he set off very early, Yu Yanran was a partial general, Ao Ji was equivalent to a civil servant, and received the rank of captain. The only son of a prince's family, he was also a student in the East Palace, and went to the front to be a colonel. It's really not a good job.

The people in the army are all vigorous and resolute, and they are ready before dawn. A group of more than a dozen people, with light clothes and simple riders, brought documents and dispatch orders. They all ride first-class horses. It is not unusual to travel hundreds of miles a day. , it took only six or seven days to get to northern Xinjiang.

When sending them off to Suzaku Gate, Yun Lan, who never showed up, also went to send them off together. The attendants brought wine, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince toasted Yu Yanran and Ao Ji, and they both drank it down in one gulp.

"It's time to read a poem at this time." Rong Hao brought up a glass of wine with a smile, his eyes rolled up: "Why should I read a sentence?"

Yu Yanran was leading her own horse, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "Read the "Horse Poetry" and say, 'The red rabbit is unused, and Lu Bu must ride it'."

At this time, he did not forget to mock Xiao Hao and Helian from Xirong as Diao Chan and Lu Bu.

Rong Hao rolled his eyes at him.

"I'm too lazy to tell you Ma Cao." He seemed to be joking, but he reached out and grabbed Ao Ji's horse by the bridle, and said calmly: "Speaking of "Horse Poems", my favorite is this one. The sand in the desert is like snow, and the moon in Yanshan Mountain is like a hook."

That horse is Ao Ji's used to riding, and it is also a good horse. The bridle is made of leather, and the top is a brass unicorn. Ao Ji used to be angry with horses in fresh clothes in his early years. After these years, he has been quiet, and he is a bit low-key. Calm meaning.

"Why do you want to be a golden brain? Let's go to Qingqiu." Rong Hao stroked the horse's bridle and said softly.His eyes looked at the horse, as if he was lazily reciting an ancient poem that a child could memorize, or he seemed to be asking Ao Ji for the horse.

Gold bridles have always been used only by generals who have returned to court after victory. His poems are not for horses, but for Ao Ji.The young man in front of him was once one of the most dazzling stars in the Eastern Palace. He had been silent for a long time. Now that he went to the frontier, although it was dangerous, how could he know that it was not the time to show his talents?

"Okay, I know you're an official fan." Yu Yanran looked impatient, but she was actually smiling, and patted Rong Hao on the shoulder: "Northern Xinjiang is my territory, and Ao Laosan follows me, and there must be a general Dangdang."

Just as they were joking, a little palace maid came over with a glass of wine and said in a low voice, "This is from Aunt Yunlan to respect Lord Ao."

"Why is Yun Lan always like this? Only Ao Ji has wine, but I don't. Why, I was born by my stepmother?" Yu Yanran yelled again.

"Stop playing tricks." Ao Ji glanced at him coldly, took the glass of wine, drank it down, and glanced at the chariot not far away, he knew that Yunlan was behind the curtain.

Wearing a vermilion brocade jacket with embroidered unicorns, he has a slender figure in the shape of a crane and a mantis. When he got on his horse, he still looked like the handsome young man he was when he rode his horse through the streets.It's just that there is no arrogance between the brows as a teenager, only indifference.

"gone."

More than a dozen horses rode away in the dust, and in a blink of an eye, only the back was left.

Although everyone looks cool, in fact, there is still a lot of sadness in the heart. Once Yu Yanran and Ao Ji left, the East Palace seemed to be half empty. They were all companions who grew up together since childhood. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers. .Traveling thousands of miles, the battlefield is dangerous, life and death are unknown, even Rong Hao fell silent for a while.

He instinctively glanced at Xiao Jingyan, His Highness the Crown Prince's side face reflected the rising sun, and he couldn't see any emotion, but he must be feeling uncomfortable.

"Why don't you see Xiaoyan." Rong Hao said without words: "Could it be that you are so angry? You don't come here to see you off when you are leaving."

Before he could finish his sentence, he only heard the sound of horseshoes behind him.

It was a very beautiful Huma. It could be seen that it was the blood of sweaty horses. It was red all over, like a ball of fire, as fast as lightning, and it rushed to the front in a blink of an eye. His complexion was extremely white, and his face was as black as ink. It was too late to see the expression on his face, but he rode his horse and galloped past the crowd, rushing towards Suzaku Gate.

"Hey, Xiaoyan is really..." Rong Hao was angry and funny, seeing Yan Junyu riding a horse directly past the guards at the Zhuque Gate, he remembered: "The wound on Xiaoyan's back is still not healed! What if it breaks open? Not fun."

Ao Ji and his party went out of the city gate, and saw that they had already arrived at Leyouyuan. In late autumn, the grass on the plain was full of dry grass, and everyone rode their horses galloping in the wind. They were very happy.

Yu Yanran hadn't noticed it yet, but felt that Ao Ji's face was very solemn, unlike usual, thinking that he was going to the frontier, and only reacted when he heard the sound of horseshoes.

"Someone is chasing us." He glanced back and laughed, "It must be that idiot Yan Junyu."

He thought it was just for fun at first, and joked a few words, but seeing that they all ran to the edge of Leyouyuan, the official road gradually narrowed, and he could see the barren hills in the suburbs of Beijing, and the red figure on the horse behind him was still following, so he couldn't help but put it away. smiled.

"Why don't you wait for him, maybe I have something to tell you." He couldn't laugh anymore: "He can't ride a horse, and he still has injuries."

Ao Ji was just silent, and the profile of his face was as cold as frost.

"Really not waiting for him?" Yu Yanran hesitated: "You don't know when you will return to Beijing next time."

The knuckles of Ao Ji's hand holding the rein turned white.

There seemed to be a boy's calling in the wind behind him, and there seemed to be a crying sound, Yu Yanran couldn't help but look back and exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Aoi asked.

"Xiaoyan fell off the horse!" Yu Yanran couldn't help reining in the reins: "I'll go and have a look, in case I get hurt..."

Ao Ji's reaction to this was to cut off his reins with a sword, and Yu Yan let out a "hey" in disapproval, but the dismounted horse was a war horse that had been with him for many years. Although he could no longer control the direction, he still flew obediently run.

Ao Ji's face seemed to be extremely indifferent, like ice, or just holding on to a tough mask, leaving no trace of emotion for others to see.

"Go forward, don't look, don't look back."

Yu Yanran has never chased anyone before, he doesn't know how to make people give up.

Even if you turn your head once, even if there is only one look, it will give the chaser the motivation to continue.Only harden your heart and fly away without looking back, leaving the most indifferent back.Let the man chase until he is exhausted, rolled into the dust, and the pain is so painful that he has no strength to get up, then he will let go.

Yu Yanran took a peek at the expression on his face, and encouraged him fearlessly: "Actually, it's okay to bring Xiaoyan, he can also fight. Let's go fast, no one can catch up."

Seeing that Ao Ji was silent, he became bolder, and simply said: "Aren't you very bold before? Back then, you dared to break into the palace gate with one sword..."

"If you talk nonsense again, I will make it impossible for you to make it to northern Xinjiang alive."

Most of the grass on Leyou Plain withered. When Yan Junyu fell off his horse, he rolled on the ground a few times, his face was scratched, and his mouth was full of bloody smell.

The back hurt like it was splitting open, and the blood soaked through the robe, sticking warmly to the skin.Yan Junyu wanted to get up and continue chasing, but he was kneeling on the ground, his legs were shaking, and he couldn't get up no matter what.He grasped the dry grass under his hands, pressed his forehead to the ground, and smelled the earthy smell between the roots of the grass.

I don't know how long it has passed, it seems as long as a year, so long that he thought he had a dream, in the dream he became very small, and he also stumbled and ran on Leyouyuan, chasing a horse to go The horses on the frontier, and the people on horseback, will never come back.

Then he heard footsteps.

Someone skillfully picked him up from the ground, the brocade embroidered with golden dragons was cool, but his embrace was very warm, Yan Junyu could smell the familiar fragrance from his body.

Maybe it was because the embrace was too warm and he was in too much pain.

Like an abandoned child, he curled up in Xiao Jingyan's arms and burst into tears.
