Xuanwu Rebirth Diary
Chapter 119 Extraordinary Story: The End of Yifu
After staying in the banyan forest for more than a year, Yifu returned to the extreme west.
But he doesn't want to come back at all, because he hasn't played enough with Zhong Chen yet.
The summer in the extreme west is so long that it seems that there is no end in sight. Since Ronglin has no time limit for the students to go home, Father Jun hopes that he can go back after this summer.
No matter how reluctant Yi Fu was, he had no choice but to accept it, and had to defend the Man City.
The barbaric city is desolate, arid and uninhabited. Except for the white tiger warriors guarding the city, almost nothing can live here for a long time.
Yifu was able to endure hardships and stand hard work. His father let him take charge of the military power, so he ate and lived with the soldiers, patrolling the city every day without slack.
The soldiers all said that although His Royal Highness is young, he is already quite popular.
When you see him standing on the city wall, his eyes fixed on the movement below, you know that he can calm down and take on great responsibilities.
Yi Fu didn't do it on purpose, in fact, when he looked at a certain place and thought, he was just in a daze.
I always unconsciously recall that hut in my mind, and there is a flowerbed with grass in front of the door.
Sometimes he basks in the sun at the door, the weather is warm and pleasant, and if Zhongchen is in a good mood, he will brush his hair a few times.
It was a rare happy experience, and Zhong Chen was very measured in his actions, and he fell asleep after a few strokes.
In the extreme west there is only the scorching sun, which makes the skin chapped and dry.
After half a month of Yifu's depression, a blue bird suddenly flew from the direction of White Tiger City one day.
At that time, he was patrolling the city wall, and heard the guards beside him remind him, "Your Highness, White Tiger City sent a blue bird to deliver a letter to you."
Yi Fu was slightly surprised, "Strange, Baihu City doesn't raise blue birds."
The bird landed on his wrist, raised its little paw, and handed him a bundle of thick paper letters.
The light white letter paper carried wisps of fragrance. When I opened it, I found that the signature was the last day.
Yi Fu's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly rolled up the letter, carefully hid it in his sleeve pocket, and then pretended to be normal, so as not to be seen by others.
Strange, just received a letter, what's the clue?
But he still carried the letter carefully, and together with the little blue bird who delivered the letter, he didn't have time to read it until late at night when he returned to the tent.
He solemnly lit a new oil candle, and by the bright candlelight, he couldn't wait to look at it.
Zhongchen's letter was written meticulously, with correct and sharp handwriting, polite and rigorous diction, and mainly talked about two things.
One is to tell him that there is a burnt famine sacrifice in the extreme north at the end of summer, which is very important and will last until the end of autumn.As the only son of the Second Lord of the Extreme North, he must be busy for a while.
However, during the Burnt Desolation Festival, Jibei wants to entertain guests, so I want to invite him to play at the end of the day.
The other thing is to tell him to take good care of this little blue bird, because the blue bird can help him send letters to the extreme north.
In this way, even if we don't see each other for half a year, we can still know each other's recent situation.
At the end of the letter, Zhong Chen attached a small leaf to him.Very unique, not in the West.
Yifu put the leaves into the book and hid them carefully, lest the dry weather in the far west would make the leaves dry and brittle.
He was very moved in his heart, living in this desolate border barbarian city, isolated from the world, but somewhere in the world there are still people who miss him.
Yifu stayed up all night, restraining his excitement, and wrote back six pages of letters eloquently.After returning from training the next day, I had new insights, so I wrote two more pages.
In the letter, Zhongchen said that the blue bird should rest for at least ten days before sending the letter again, and the little bird should not be tired.
So he followed his instructions and made the most comfortable nest for the blue bird, offering delicious food and drink, and he fed the green bird the rare mushrooms that Mancheng offered to the general to eat.
Fifteen days later, a thin layer of fat grew under the keel of the little bird, and it was almost impossible to flap its wings.
Yifu was full of hope, and let it fly away with his eleven pages.
After more than twenty days, he kept looking into the distance, but he didn't even see a blue bird's feather.
It also takes time for Chen'er to reply to the letter, and the little blue bird needs to rest, so the little guy can't let the little guy turn around for the two of them, and he can't even take a rest.
So he suppressed his urgent heart and waited patiently.
During this period, Father Jun had something to explain to him, so he called him back to White Tiger City.
One afternoon, as he was walking out of Father Jun's study, he smelled a faint smell of meat.Curiosity followed the taste, and I happened to bump into the eldest brother who was secretly setting up a barbecue in the back garden.
He walked over curiously, "Brother, what are you doing?"
His elder brother has just grown up, and he hasn't completely lost his playfulness, and his whole body is wild.Wiping his mouth, he waved to him happily, "Come on, my brother caught a carrier pigeon. I have never seen such a fat one. It smells delicious when roasted."
"The one that was just shot down still has a letter, haha."
Yi Fu's heart skipped a beat, with a slight sense of foreboding.He saw the stack of papers that his elder brother had randomly placed next to him, picked it up, opened it, and his eyes went dark.
He trembled all over, was so angry that his words were incoherent, and roared angrily and punched his elder brother.
"You...you give me back my blue bird!"
The eldest brother was hit suddenly, and his instinct changed back to his original form to fight back, and Yifu didn't back down.
Two huge white tigers fought together, roaring loudly, startling the flock of birds perched on the roof of the hall.
……
The White Tiger Clan respects orderly seniority, and the fourth son must never contradict his elder brother.
Yifu not only beat his elder brother, but also ruthlessly.
All the sharp claws stretched out, almost piercing his brother's abdomen.
He was temporarily thrown into prison and locked up.
While lying on the cold stone floor, Yifu hugged the reply letter tightly, blinked, tears streaming down quietly.
He didn't dare to read the letter, he was thinking all over his heart, what would Chen'er think of him if he knew that the blue bird he sent had been eaten?
Chen Chen will definitely feel that the White Tiger Clan is barbaric and unreasonable.
He must also be blamed for his negligence for not taking good care of the blue bird.
What should I do?
Yifu hadn't cried for a long time, but that night, he cried loudly in the cold prison.
The discounted leg hurts so much that it can't bear the pain in my heart.
On the second day, Jun's father came to the prison cell, lifted him out, threw him in the middle of the hall and asked sharply, "Why did you beat your elder brother?"
Yifu's eyes were wet again, he turned his head to one side, and his voice suppressed his anger, "Just because he is the eldest son, he can wantonly hunt the fourth brother's messenger blue bird?"
"Why? That blue bird, it hurts me to touch even a single feather of it, how dare the elder brother..." He said, sniffing his nose in disbelief, and said resentfully, "It would be considered light for me to beat him."
Father Jun was silent for a while, and asked, "That blue bird belongs to His Royal Highness Extreme North?"
Yi Fu hummed, and lowered his head.
"Father will take care of this matter. There will be a banquet in the extreme north next month. Father will take your eldest brother to personally apologize to the little Highness. You stayed in White Tiger City and ordered you to be banned for three months. When did you realize that you were wrong? to go out."
When Yifu heard the first half of the sentence, he was kindling some hope; however, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately widened his eyes, raised his head, and protested loudly, "No! But I, I have promised Zhongchen to go back to the extreme north... ..."
Father Jun said seriously, "Until you admit your mistake, you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Yifu immediately relented and tried for leniency.Father Jun saw through his little thoughts, and only shortened the confinement period to two months, but did not agree to let him go immediately.
In short, when the father and elder brother set off for the extreme north, Yi Fu stood on the tower with his feet clamped on the board, watching the team leave with longing eyes, feeling very sad in his heart.
Alas, it's just that he hasn't grown up yet.If you can become an adult as soon as possible, you can make your own decisions.
Zhong Chen felt a little strange that he didn't wait for the blue bird to come back.
This little blue bird was given to him by his father, and he raised it for a long time before he taught it to recognize the way to the extreme west. It is impossible to lose it on the road again?
The burnt famine is approaching, and there are many things to be busy these days, so Chen Chen temporarily forgot about the little blue bird.
One day after welcoming the guests from far away, he returned to his Emperor's Palace, and heard a report that the Emperor of the West had brought a majestic white wolf to visit him.
Zhong Chen was a little surprised, thinking that the other party was Yifu's father-in-law, he ordered his attendants to bring the best wine, and solemnly received the guest.
The emperor of Jixi was tall and burly, with a weather-beaten face and a solemn expression. Yifu was exactly like his father, but his face was a little softer.
Dijun was a frank and straightforward person. He sat down, drank a glass of wine, and announced his intention to come. He planned to use his best white wolf mount to compensate the little blue bird of the last day.
After hearing the whole story, Zhong Chen was stunned for a long time, and then his face became a little ugly.However, the emperor of Jixi is after all a respected god on the same level as his father, and the apology is very sincere, and it is not easy for him to refuse.
After struggling for a long time in my heart, I sighed and finally accepted it.
The second day was the autumn feast before the burnt sacrifice.
The Autumn Banquet is a family feast of the Xuanwu Clan's descendants. On this day, the other three-phase gods will be invited as guests, and the banquet will be held in the maple forest in the back mountain.The music of the water, the music and dance of silk and bamboo are also convenient for the four-branch gods who haven't seen each other for a long time to talk and connect with each other.
The relationship between the Four Phase God Clan has always been good, and every year the Xuanwu Clan's autumn feast is attended by the other three clans.
It's just that according to the ancient rules, only the eldest son of each clan can participate in the autumn banquet, and other children can't come to the extreme north until the burnt famine sacrifice officially begins.
Knowing that Yifu didn't come, Zhongchen was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and since the guests were present, he had no choice but to pretend to be silent.
There are countless delicacies in the autumn banquet, one jar after another of fine wine, the guests and the host had a good time, and the laughter echoed in the maple forest for a long time.
Tai Yang patrolled around, but he didn't find his eldest son at the banquet, which was a bit strange.He sent someone to look for him, and found that Zhongchen was hiding behind a tree, sulking.
He then walked towards Chen Chen, "Chen'er, why don't you go out to have a banquet?"
My son clearly likes lively banquet occasions the most.
Zhong Chen replied vaguely, "I'll go in a while."
Tai Yang saw what was on his mind, squatted down beside him, took a look, and said to him, "Yesterday your father said that he would go and find another blue bird for you, so you can rest assured."
"I don't want it anymore. I can't take care of it well." Zhong Chen lowered his head sullenly, and buried half of his face in his arms.
Tai Yang smiled faintly, "Occasionally mistakes cannot be avoided, you should allow yourself to make mistakes."
He patted Zhong Chen on the head and left leisurely.
It's very lively there, and there are a lot of delicious food.
Chen Chen was a little hungry, but he didn't want to sit with the White Tiger Clan, especially the culprit who roasted the blue bird.
So he competed with himself, letting his stomach growl.
The dishes taste delicious...
Just as he was in a daze, a shout came from behind, "Hey, Your Highness, where are you?"
Finally Chen turned his head and saw that it was the eldest son of the White Tiger Clan, Yifu's elder brother, who moved towards him with difficulty and greeted him warmly.
A servant followed behind, carrying a bird cage in his hand.
"Little Highness, don't you still be angry? I've come to personally apologize to you." He said with a smile.
Zhong Chen indifferently listened to his explanation of the ins and outs, saying that he had never seen this kind of bird in the far west, and thought it was an ordinary pigeon raised in the palace, but who knew it was the treasure of their fourth brother, so he suffered a disaster.
Although he broke the fourth brother's hind leg, the paw that the fourth brother stabbed in his stomach was enough to hurt, and everyone evened out.
A brother must have the courage to admit his mistakes, so he reluctantly gave up and brought the best sparrow in Baihu City.
This sparrow falcon is extremely intelligent, it can hunt and deliver messages, and the most important thing is that it is tough enough to live a long life.
"This little falcon is a pair, and you won't run away if you decide. I left one for Yifu before I set off, and Quande also apologized to him." The elder brother said.
Chen Chen is not very interested in Ma Falcon itself. Although it is a good thing, it is not without replaceable things at home.
He is interested in having the same falcon as Yifu.
Yifu's eldest brother is very good at speaking well, the so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting a smiling face, after seeing such a thick-skinned person, Zhongchen is too embarrassed to continue losing his temper.
So he accepted it and kept the ma falcon in the palace.
When the banquet was about to end, Zhong Chen couldn't hold back and went to ask Yifu's elder brother.
"I invited Yifu for the burnt sacrifice, will he come?"
The eldest brother thought about it seriously, and said, "Maybe, but when I went out, his foot injury was still not healed, and there was a backlog of affairs for half a month, so he might be too busy to come."
Zhong Chen remained silent, cupped his hands, and said goodbye earnestly.
That night, he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling of his palace, in a daze for a long time.
Yifu is so timid, so he wouldn't dare to come to see him after making a mistake, right?
He had already forgiven Yi Fu, and asked his elder brother to bring the message, wondering if that guy would come.
It's not sure, what if Yifu has something else to do?Today in the hall, he overheard the conversation between the father of the emperor and the emperor of the extreme west. Mancheng has been short of troops recently, and Yifu might go to help.
If that's the case, I won't be able to come.
...Why does he care so much about Yifu, will he come?
Zhong Chen blinked and looked up at the sky, unable to figure out what he was thinking.
It's not that he doesn't have friends in Xuanwu City, many of his disciples even tried their best to make friends with him, he has no shortage of playmates.
Zhong Chen tossed and turned, pondered hard, but couldn't figure out the difference in this mood after all.
Time flies, and the last fireworks at the end of summer have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Burnt Sacrifice is approaching.
Xuanwu City began to decorate the curtains, and the cornices were tied with ropes, and red lanterns were hung, row by row, high and low, and the city was full of joy.
Yue Liang ordered people to make a lot of red lacquered mechanism lanterns, which were scattered in every corner of the city. At night, the Xuanwu City was very lively with lights and festoons.
Miyagi also began to set up huge bonfires, which were set up on the square in the center of the main hall, and they could be seen every morning after class.
The bonfire is set up day by day, and the burnt famine is coming soon.
As the only young highness in the extreme north, Zhongchen is about to receive guests.
His two fathers were overwhelmed with work, and he was also very busy with him, and sometimes he couldn't even go back to his own hall to sleep, so he just spent the night in the study.
There are more and more complicated guests.While saying hello, Zhong Chen patiently waited for the White Tiger Clan.
The white tigers finally came.
But Yifu didn't come.
He was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked the Emperor of the West.The emperor of Jixi chuckled a few times, "His Highness is waiting for Shiro? That's a pity, Shiro will stay to look after the house."
"Maybe after he settles the matter of White Tiger City, he can catch up with the Burnt Desolation Sacrifice."
Zhong Chen was greatly disappointed, but it didn't show on his face.
However, as soon as he returned to his own hall, he immediately became depressed, threw himself on the bed, hugged the brocade quilt, and didn't want to move for a long time.
A servant in the palace came over to persuade him, "Your Highness, don't worry, maybe the Fourth Highness of the Far West can catch up with the Burnt Desolation Sacrifice?"
Chen Chen snorted, his voice a little hoarse, "He came, and I will ignore him, he doesn't keep his word."
He had clearly promised to come.
No one can coax Chen Chen well, not even Yue Liang, it seems that Chen Chen will never get better.
This depressed mood lasted until the evening of the burnt famine.
The lights were dimmed, and the long banquet circled three times around the square in front of the hall, all kinds of rare delicacies and fine wines were fragrant.
A bonfire building was set up in the middle of the open space, with red lanterns hanging on it, which was very festive.
The witches of the Xuanwu tribe were the first to appear on the stage, offering sacrifices to God and praying to Hongjun, and then the feast could begin.
There are no strict rules of status in the Burnt Desolation Sacrifice, no matter whether it is an emperor or a servant, everyone can find fun from the banquet.
The final seat is located among the sons and goddesses of the gods.With outstanding appearance and great status, someone will come to make friends soon, so he has to find time to deal with it.
When the moon was in the sky, Zhongchen was a little tired from playing, looking at the lively crowd, for some reason, he felt lonely.He simply told the attendant a few words, put on his cloak, and slipped away quietly through the door of the side hall.
The climate in the extreme north is extreme, almost only winter and summer, and the first snow has already ushered in the end of autumn.
The thickness of the snow covered the ankles, and Zhong Chen walked slowly in the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow, with the falcon given by Yifu elder brother on his wrist.
The moonlight shines softly on the crystal snow.Zhong Chen lowered his head, his thoughts drifted away, and he thought of a guy who missed an appointment.
...It would be great if Yifu could come too, the lanterns for the Burnt Desolation Festival are very beautiful.
Finally Chen walked around the main hall and walked on the path leading to his own palace.
There is a nine-story tower beside the road, with its back facing the moonlight, with its eight eaves flying up and copper bells ringing in the night wind.
Someone blew a clear horse whistle.
Chen Chen stamped his feet, raised his head abruptly, and saw a figure sitting on the eaves of the tower with his legs bent, his elbows on his knees, and an invisible bird squatting on his shoulders.
With his back to the moonlight, the man was just a shadow, but Zhong Chen recognized his figure immediately.
He hooked the corners of his mouth without any trace, but his tone was as calm as usual, "You missed the appointment."
"Tonight is not over yet, I don't count as a missed appointment."
The shadow leapt forward, like a nimble big cat, silently landed on the snow in front of him, raised his head, and showed a smiling face.
Yifu wore the costume of the White Tiger Clan tonight. His long hair was only tied at the end and hung loosely behind his back. A circle of thin braids went around the back of his head. The ends of the braids were strung with turquoise and coral; A woolen jacket with brocade sleeves and a hem trimmed with black and white tiger fur.
He was really handsome tonight.
After a few months of absence, his face seemed to have calmed down a lot, but when he saw Zhong Chen, his smile was still bright and soft.
Yi Fu asked tentatively, "Mancheng has a lot of affairs, and I really can't get out as soon as possible. Chen'er won't blame me for this?"
Chen Chen said, "Get out, I don't talk to people who don't keep their word."
"Oh, don't do this—" Yi Fu leaned over aggrieved, poked his fingers, and put his ears on the top of his head obediently.
He wanted to pick and pull again, and he was not allowed to touch for the whole day, and the two of them were fighting on the snow.Alarmed by the actions of the masters, the falcon flew up and landed on the roof.
Zhongchen was just begging for a few strong words, and when he saw Yifu, he was coaxed by good words for a while, so he didn't care about it.
Holding Yifu's hand, he led him back to the banquet, had something to eat with him, and then talked about going to see the lanterns together.
It was rare for Yi Fu to have such a good meal, his eyes shone brightly as he looked at the delicious meat all over the table.
While eating, he whimpered with excitement, "Well... when I was in Mancheng, there were only sheep, melons, and I felt like vomiting when I smelled the smell of sheep."
"Slow down, no one is robbing you."
Zhong Chen brought several plates for him, saw the wind and clouds on the table, smiled, called the waiter, and added another good dish to the table.
Yi Fu gobbled it up, and didn't forget to report what he had done recently.
It turned out that since he had a fight with his elder brother last time, he injured a leg, which resulted in a splint for a whole month.
The injury was healed, and the backlog of affairs in Mancheng was reaching its limit, and the Emperor of the Far West was visiting the Extreme North, so he could only manage Mancheng by himself.
As for why he didn't reply for a long time, Yi Fu said that his negligence caused the death of the blue bird, and he was so ashamed that he didn't have the face to write a letter.
He originally planned to find an opportunity to apologize in person in the future, but after hearing his elder brother come back, he said that Zhong Chen had already forgiven him, so he dared to come to the extreme north to see Zhong Chen immediately.
Chen Chen didn't delve into the matter of Qingniao, but pinched his tiger's ears and said, "If you don't reply to my letter in time, I will ignore you again."
Yi Fu nodded vigorously, "Definitely, definitely."
The two were chatting and eating at a small table in the corner. After a while, a Xuanshou of the same age from the Xuanwu tribe noticed Zhong Chen and came over to say hello.
"Your Highness, hello to Your Highness, Your Highness is accompanying a distinguished guest from Jixi, right?"
Yifu took time out of his busy schedule to take a look at the visitor, and found that it was a very handsome mysterious beast. He greeted happily, "Hello, I am from the White Tiger Clan, and I come from the extreme west."
The other party saluted him respectfully, "May your honored guest have a comfortable night."
Zhongchen turned his head, squeezed a chicken leg, and stuffed it into Yifu's mouth, "Eat your own, don't talk if you have something in your mouth."
Yifu responded with a few murmurs, bit the chicken leg, and obeyed with a smile.
Xuan Beast's eyes wandered back and forth on Zhong Chen and Yi Fu, and with a slight smile, he suddenly changed the language of the Xuan Wu clan, and said to Zhong Chen, "He is not from the Xuan Wu clan. Why does His Highness treat him so well?"
Zhong Chen also answered him in the language of his clan, casually saying, "A friend who hasn't seen him for a long time, shouldn't he be treated with all his heart?"
"Of course, it's just that His Highness should also know some mysterious beasts in the clan. The friendship with foreign clans is not reliable after all, and the life contract is the most reliable." The mysterious beast said calmly.
Zhong Chen raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you teaching me?"
The other party gave a salute, "Don't dare." Afterwards, with a few simple words, he respectfully left.
Yi Fu couldn't understand half a sentence, but felt that the conversation between the two was very modest, and the language of the Xuanwu tribe was also very pleasant to hear, so he praised him sincerely, "Chen'er, you speak so nicely. What were you talking about just now?" ?”
Finally Chen replied casually, "It's nothing, it's just polite words at the banquet."
Yi Fu let out an oh, believed it, and continued to eat and eat.After a while, a servant came to report that all the lanterns in the city had been lit, and the two Highnesses could go to watch the lanterns.
Finally Chen took Yifu away, and both of them left the lively banquet.
Ordinary lantern viewing is to walk on the street, look up, and you can see rows of red lanterns hanging above your head, illuminating a red glow below, and the shadows of the lights are fading.
The place that Zhong Chen chose to watch the lanterns was rather special, it was on an abandoned watchtower on the wall of the inner city.
The area around the watchtower is very quiet, no one disturbs you, sitting on the top of the building and looking out into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Xuanwu City.
This is his secret corner, and he never brings people here easily.Yifu was lucky to be the first visitor.
The two teenagers kicked off the snow on the roof and sat on the slope of the green tiles, leaning on each other, with two falcons beside them.
Zhong Chen pointed it out to Yi Fu, "Going out here, to the Zhongcheng District, is a large organ bridge, which is usually left open, and the people have built houses on the bridge."
"If Xuanwu City is destroyed, raising this bridge will at least preserve the inner city."
"Out of the west city gate is a grassland. Further to the west there is an oasis and a temple, and then to the wasteland. You should have seen more wasteland than I do. The far west is full of deserts."
"It's farther away. See that hexagonal eaves building. There is a song room, the largest in the whole Xuanwu City. Now they hang a lot of lanterns, so beautiful."
Yi Fu said: "When we came out just now, we saw so many people celebrating in the street, but when we looked down from a height, we could only see the lights of the city, and the people were so tiny that we couldn't see them."
"This lantern is so beautiful, it seems to be frozen, it's so bright, it's so quiet."
Eyes full of silent red, Yi Fu listened to Zhong Chen telling him the story of Xuanwu City, and answered from time to time.
Occasionally, when talking about funny things, both of them laughed softly.
Yi Fu suddenly remembered something, and became more courageous, so he pretended to be joking and asked, "Chen'er, I haven't asked just now, are you happy to see me?"
Chen Chen also asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Just to ask, to know if I am a welcome guest."
"Is this also a question?"
Yi Fu said: "If you don't tell me, how would I know?"
There was a long silence without waiting for an answer.Yi Fu looked sideways strangely, but just happened to meet Zhong Chen with a downcast face, smiling quietly.
The firelight of the lantern reflected on the profile of Zhong Chen's face, and his expression softened, without the usual indifference.His smile was clearly from the heart.
In fact, Zhong Chen is very good-looking, when he smiles, the peach blossoms in the corners of his eyes bloom.
Yi Fu felt as if someone had punched his heart, it didn't hurt, but it was numb, he couldn't tell what it was like, his heart was beating fast, and he was a little flustered.
The smile on the corner of Zhongchen's mouth couldn't be hidden, but he still put on airs and said in the usual tone, "I already invited you, so it's not a surprise."
Yi Fu thought to himself that he hadn't mentioned "surprise" just now, but it was Zhong Chen himself who said these two words.
However, he didn't have the courage to put himself on the "surprise that can surprise Zhong Chen". Since Chen'er has warmly entertained him, he should be able to prove that he is happy.
This is also very good, at least don't ignore him like you did when you were a child, just fine.
At night, the two went back and said their goodbyes in front of the Emperor's Palace in Zhongchen.
Yi Fu said that he lived in the west palace complex where the White Tiger Clan stayed, and he had a good rest tonight, and he would come to play with him tomorrow.
He also said that things in the far west are in danger, he can stay in the far north to play with Zhong Chen, even during the entire burnt famine festival.
After Yifu left, Zhongchen walked slowly into his palace.
Changing clothes, taking a bath, and feeling happy, he even hummed a little song when the servant helped brush his scales.
It was rare for the servant to see His Highness in such a mood, so he asked with a smile, "Who did His Highness meet tonight, so happy?"
Chen Chen replied, "I met a friend."
The servant said: "Really? The old servant has taken care of His Highness for so many years, and this is the first time I heard His Highness talk about making good friends. If it is a mysterious beast, His Highness might as well contact more. In a few hundred years, His Highness will also choose a partner." , It’s always right to get acquainted first.”
Zhong Chen was silent for a while, and then asked, "Can the partner of a martial beast only choose a mysterious beast?"
The servant thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but the old servant has lived for 12 years and has never seen a Xuanwu choose a foreign race as a partner. Maybe because the foreign race is not as loyal as ours, it will always be boring. And dedicated, Xuanwu still can only choose Xuanwu."
"If Your Highness has other thoughts, the old servant dares to overstep and advise His Highness to calm down as soon as possible, so as not to fall into a situation where you can't stop, which will only increase the pain."
After taking a bath, the good mood that lasted all night was gone.
Climbing onto the bed, hugging the brocade quilt, shrinking herself into a cocoon, staring at a certain place on the ground, thinking about the night.
So it's still a pure friendship. It's nothing unusual to do something special together, such as watching lanterns all night under the first snow.
He can watch the lantern with Yifu, or he can be with other friends, it doesn't necessarily mean that Yifu has to.
He must have grown up soon, and he started to think about his partner.It's still early, think about it later.
But tonight Yifu asked him if he was happy, and he was really happy, after all, this unscrupulous white tiger said that he would not come, but suddenly came again, which added a lot of color to him tonight.
It's always a pleasure to see you again.
And for the next two months, they can all play together.Thinking of this makes me even happier.
The author has something to say: I could have updated it last night, but it turned out to be drinktoomuch, sorry hahhhhh
But he doesn't want to come back at all, because he hasn't played enough with Zhong Chen yet.
The summer in the extreme west is so long that it seems that there is no end in sight. Since Ronglin has no time limit for the students to go home, Father Jun hopes that he can go back after this summer.
No matter how reluctant Yi Fu was, he had no choice but to accept it, and had to defend the Man City.
The barbaric city is desolate, arid and uninhabited. Except for the white tiger warriors guarding the city, almost nothing can live here for a long time.
Yifu was able to endure hardships and stand hard work. His father let him take charge of the military power, so he ate and lived with the soldiers, patrolling the city every day without slack.
The soldiers all said that although His Royal Highness is young, he is already quite popular.
When you see him standing on the city wall, his eyes fixed on the movement below, you know that he can calm down and take on great responsibilities.
Yi Fu didn't do it on purpose, in fact, when he looked at a certain place and thought, he was just in a daze.
I always unconsciously recall that hut in my mind, and there is a flowerbed with grass in front of the door.
Sometimes he basks in the sun at the door, the weather is warm and pleasant, and if Zhongchen is in a good mood, he will brush his hair a few times.
It was a rare happy experience, and Zhong Chen was very measured in his actions, and he fell asleep after a few strokes.
In the extreme west there is only the scorching sun, which makes the skin chapped and dry.
After half a month of Yifu's depression, a blue bird suddenly flew from the direction of White Tiger City one day.
At that time, he was patrolling the city wall, and heard the guards beside him remind him, "Your Highness, White Tiger City sent a blue bird to deliver a letter to you."
Yi Fu was slightly surprised, "Strange, Baihu City doesn't raise blue birds."
The bird landed on his wrist, raised its little paw, and handed him a bundle of thick paper letters.
The light white letter paper carried wisps of fragrance. When I opened it, I found that the signature was the last day.
Yi Fu's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly rolled up the letter, carefully hid it in his sleeve pocket, and then pretended to be normal, so as not to be seen by others.
Strange, just received a letter, what's the clue?
But he still carried the letter carefully, and together with the little blue bird who delivered the letter, he didn't have time to read it until late at night when he returned to the tent.
He solemnly lit a new oil candle, and by the bright candlelight, he couldn't wait to look at it.
Zhongchen's letter was written meticulously, with correct and sharp handwriting, polite and rigorous diction, and mainly talked about two things.
One is to tell him that there is a burnt famine sacrifice in the extreme north at the end of summer, which is very important and will last until the end of autumn.As the only son of the Second Lord of the Extreme North, he must be busy for a while.
However, during the Burnt Desolation Festival, Jibei wants to entertain guests, so I want to invite him to play at the end of the day.
The other thing is to tell him to take good care of this little blue bird, because the blue bird can help him send letters to the extreme north.
In this way, even if we don't see each other for half a year, we can still know each other's recent situation.
At the end of the letter, Zhong Chen attached a small leaf to him.Very unique, not in the West.
Yifu put the leaves into the book and hid them carefully, lest the dry weather in the far west would make the leaves dry and brittle.
He was very moved in his heart, living in this desolate border barbarian city, isolated from the world, but somewhere in the world there are still people who miss him.
Yifu stayed up all night, restraining his excitement, and wrote back six pages of letters eloquently.After returning from training the next day, I had new insights, so I wrote two more pages.
In the letter, Zhongchen said that the blue bird should rest for at least ten days before sending the letter again, and the little bird should not be tired.
So he followed his instructions and made the most comfortable nest for the blue bird, offering delicious food and drink, and he fed the green bird the rare mushrooms that Mancheng offered to the general to eat.
Fifteen days later, a thin layer of fat grew under the keel of the little bird, and it was almost impossible to flap its wings.
Yifu was full of hope, and let it fly away with his eleven pages.
After more than twenty days, he kept looking into the distance, but he didn't even see a blue bird's feather.
It also takes time for Chen'er to reply to the letter, and the little blue bird needs to rest, so the little guy can't let the little guy turn around for the two of them, and he can't even take a rest.
So he suppressed his urgent heart and waited patiently.
During this period, Father Jun had something to explain to him, so he called him back to White Tiger City.
One afternoon, as he was walking out of Father Jun's study, he smelled a faint smell of meat.Curiosity followed the taste, and I happened to bump into the eldest brother who was secretly setting up a barbecue in the back garden.
He walked over curiously, "Brother, what are you doing?"
His elder brother has just grown up, and he hasn't completely lost his playfulness, and his whole body is wild.Wiping his mouth, he waved to him happily, "Come on, my brother caught a carrier pigeon. I have never seen such a fat one. It smells delicious when roasted."
"The one that was just shot down still has a letter, haha."
Yi Fu's heart skipped a beat, with a slight sense of foreboding.He saw the stack of papers that his elder brother had randomly placed next to him, picked it up, opened it, and his eyes went dark.
He trembled all over, was so angry that his words were incoherent, and roared angrily and punched his elder brother.
"You...you give me back my blue bird!"
The eldest brother was hit suddenly, and his instinct changed back to his original form to fight back, and Yifu didn't back down.
Two huge white tigers fought together, roaring loudly, startling the flock of birds perched on the roof of the hall.
……
The White Tiger Clan respects orderly seniority, and the fourth son must never contradict his elder brother.
Yifu not only beat his elder brother, but also ruthlessly.
All the sharp claws stretched out, almost piercing his brother's abdomen.
He was temporarily thrown into prison and locked up.
While lying on the cold stone floor, Yifu hugged the reply letter tightly, blinked, tears streaming down quietly.
He didn't dare to read the letter, he was thinking all over his heart, what would Chen'er think of him if he knew that the blue bird he sent had been eaten?
Chen Chen will definitely feel that the White Tiger Clan is barbaric and unreasonable.
He must also be blamed for his negligence for not taking good care of the blue bird.
What should I do?
Yifu hadn't cried for a long time, but that night, he cried loudly in the cold prison.
The discounted leg hurts so much that it can't bear the pain in my heart.
On the second day, Jun's father came to the prison cell, lifted him out, threw him in the middle of the hall and asked sharply, "Why did you beat your elder brother?"
Yifu's eyes were wet again, he turned his head to one side, and his voice suppressed his anger, "Just because he is the eldest son, he can wantonly hunt the fourth brother's messenger blue bird?"
"Why? That blue bird, it hurts me to touch even a single feather of it, how dare the elder brother..." He said, sniffing his nose in disbelief, and said resentfully, "It would be considered light for me to beat him."
Father Jun was silent for a while, and asked, "That blue bird belongs to His Royal Highness Extreme North?"
Yi Fu hummed, and lowered his head.
"Father will take care of this matter. There will be a banquet in the extreme north next month. Father will take your eldest brother to personally apologize to the little Highness. You stayed in White Tiger City and ordered you to be banned for three months. When did you realize that you were wrong? to go out."
When Yifu heard the first half of the sentence, he was kindling some hope; however, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately widened his eyes, raised his head, and protested loudly, "No! But I, I have promised Zhongchen to go back to the extreme north... ..."
Father Jun said seriously, "Until you admit your mistake, you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Yifu immediately relented and tried for leniency.Father Jun saw through his little thoughts, and only shortened the confinement period to two months, but did not agree to let him go immediately.
In short, when the father and elder brother set off for the extreme north, Yi Fu stood on the tower with his feet clamped on the board, watching the team leave with longing eyes, feeling very sad in his heart.
Alas, it's just that he hasn't grown up yet.If you can become an adult as soon as possible, you can make your own decisions.
Zhong Chen felt a little strange that he didn't wait for the blue bird to come back.
This little blue bird was given to him by his father, and he raised it for a long time before he taught it to recognize the way to the extreme west. It is impossible to lose it on the road again?
The burnt famine is approaching, and there are many things to be busy these days, so Chen Chen temporarily forgot about the little blue bird.
One day after welcoming the guests from far away, he returned to his Emperor's Palace, and heard a report that the Emperor of the West had brought a majestic white wolf to visit him.
Zhong Chen was a little surprised, thinking that the other party was Yifu's father-in-law, he ordered his attendants to bring the best wine, and solemnly received the guest.
The emperor of Jixi was tall and burly, with a weather-beaten face and a solemn expression. Yifu was exactly like his father, but his face was a little softer.
Dijun was a frank and straightforward person. He sat down, drank a glass of wine, and announced his intention to come. He planned to use his best white wolf mount to compensate the little blue bird of the last day.
After hearing the whole story, Zhong Chen was stunned for a long time, and then his face became a little ugly.However, the emperor of Jixi is after all a respected god on the same level as his father, and the apology is very sincere, and it is not easy for him to refuse.
After struggling for a long time in my heart, I sighed and finally accepted it.
The second day was the autumn feast before the burnt sacrifice.
The Autumn Banquet is a family feast of the Xuanwu Clan's descendants. On this day, the other three-phase gods will be invited as guests, and the banquet will be held in the maple forest in the back mountain.The music of the water, the music and dance of silk and bamboo are also convenient for the four-branch gods who haven't seen each other for a long time to talk and connect with each other.
The relationship between the Four Phase God Clan has always been good, and every year the Xuanwu Clan's autumn feast is attended by the other three clans.
It's just that according to the ancient rules, only the eldest son of each clan can participate in the autumn banquet, and other children can't come to the extreme north until the burnt famine sacrifice officially begins.
Knowing that Yifu didn't come, Zhongchen was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and since the guests were present, he had no choice but to pretend to be silent.
There are countless delicacies in the autumn banquet, one jar after another of fine wine, the guests and the host had a good time, and the laughter echoed in the maple forest for a long time.
Tai Yang patrolled around, but he didn't find his eldest son at the banquet, which was a bit strange.He sent someone to look for him, and found that Zhongchen was hiding behind a tree, sulking.
He then walked towards Chen Chen, "Chen'er, why don't you go out to have a banquet?"
My son clearly likes lively banquet occasions the most.
Zhong Chen replied vaguely, "I'll go in a while."
Tai Yang saw what was on his mind, squatted down beside him, took a look, and said to him, "Yesterday your father said that he would go and find another blue bird for you, so you can rest assured."
"I don't want it anymore. I can't take care of it well." Zhong Chen lowered his head sullenly, and buried half of his face in his arms.
Tai Yang smiled faintly, "Occasionally mistakes cannot be avoided, you should allow yourself to make mistakes."
He patted Zhong Chen on the head and left leisurely.
It's very lively there, and there are a lot of delicious food.
Chen Chen was a little hungry, but he didn't want to sit with the White Tiger Clan, especially the culprit who roasted the blue bird.
So he competed with himself, letting his stomach growl.
The dishes taste delicious...
Just as he was in a daze, a shout came from behind, "Hey, Your Highness, where are you?"
Finally Chen turned his head and saw that it was the eldest son of the White Tiger Clan, Yifu's elder brother, who moved towards him with difficulty and greeted him warmly.
A servant followed behind, carrying a bird cage in his hand.
"Little Highness, don't you still be angry? I've come to personally apologize to you." He said with a smile.
Zhong Chen indifferently listened to his explanation of the ins and outs, saying that he had never seen this kind of bird in the far west, and thought it was an ordinary pigeon raised in the palace, but who knew it was the treasure of their fourth brother, so he suffered a disaster.
Although he broke the fourth brother's hind leg, the paw that the fourth brother stabbed in his stomach was enough to hurt, and everyone evened out.
A brother must have the courage to admit his mistakes, so he reluctantly gave up and brought the best sparrow in Baihu City.
This sparrow falcon is extremely intelligent, it can hunt and deliver messages, and the most important thing is that it is tough enough to live a long life.
"This little falcon is a pair, and you won't run away if you decide. I left one for Yifu before I set off, and Quande also apologized to him." The elder brother said.
Chen Chen is not very interested in Ma Falcon itself. Although it is a good thing, it is not without replaceable things at home.
He is interested in having the same falcon as Yifu.
Yifu's eldest brother is very good at speaking well, the so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting a smiling face, after seeing such a thick-skinned person, Zhongchen is too embarrassed to continue losing his temper.
So he accepted it and kept the ma falcon in the palace.
When the banquet was about to end, Zhong Chen couldn't hold back and went to ask Yifu's elder brother.
"I invited Yifu for the burnt sacrifice, will he come?"
The eldest brother thought about it seriously, and said, "Maybe, but when I went out, his foot injury was still not healed, and there was a backlog of affairs for half a month, so he might be too busy to come."
Zhong Chen remained silent, cupped his hands, and said goodbye earnestly.
That night, he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling of his palace, in a daze for a long time.
Yifu is so timid, so he wouldn't dare to come to see him after making a mistake, right?
He had already forgiven Yi Fu, and asked his elder brother to bring the message, wondering if that guy would come.
It's not sure, what if Yifu has something else to do?Today in the hall, he overheard the conversation between the father of the emperor and the emperor of the extreme west. Mancheng has been short of troops recently, and Yifu might go to help.
If that's the case, I won't be able to come.
...Why does he care so much about Yifu, will he come?
Zhong Chen blinked and looked up at the sky, unable to figure out what he was thinking.
It's not that he doesn't have friends in Xuanwu City, many of his disciples even tried their best to make friends with him, he has no shortage of playmates.
Zhong Chen tossed and turned, pondered hard, but couldn't figure out the difference in this mood after all.
Time flies, and the last fireworks at the end of summer have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Burnt Sacrifice is approaching.
Xuanwu City began to decorate the curtains, and the cornices were tied with ropes, and red lanterns were hung, row by row, high and low, and the city was full of joy.
Yue Liang ordered people to make a lot of red lacquered mechanism lanterns, which were scattered in every corner of the city. At night, the Xuanwu City was very lively with lights and festoons.
Miyagi also began to set up huge bonfires, which were set up on the square in the center of the main hall, and they could be seen every morning after class.
The bonfire is set up day by day, and the burnt famine is coming soon.
As the only young highness in the extreme north, Zhongchen is about to receive guests.
His two fathers were overwhelmed with work, and he was also very busy with him, and sometimes he couldn't even go back to his own hall to sleep, so he just spent the night in the study.
There are more and more complicated guests.While saying hello, Zhong Chen patiently waited for the White Tiger Clan.
The white tigers finally came.
But Yifu didn't come.
He was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked the Emperor of the West.The emperor of Jixi chuckled a few times, "His Highness is waiting for Shiro? That's a pity, Shiro will stay to look after the house."
"Maybe after he settles the matter of White Tiger City, he can catch up with the Burnt Desolation Sacrifice."
Zhong Chen was greatly disappointed, but it didn't show on his face.
However, as soon as he returned to his own hall, he immediately became depressed, threw himself on the bed, hugged the brocade quilt, and didn't want to move for a long time.
A servant in the palace came over to persuade him, "Your Highness, don't worry, maybe the Fourth Highness of the Far West can catch up with the Burnt Desolation Sacrifice?"
Chen Chen snorted, his voice a little hoarse, "He came, and I will ignore him, he doesn't keep his word."
He had clearly promised to come.
No one can coax Chen Chen well, not even Yue Liang, it seems that Chen Chen will never get better.
This depressed mood lasted until the evening of the burnt famine.
The lights were dimmed, and the long banquet circled three times around the square in front of the hall, all kinds of rare delicacies and fine wines were fragrant.
A bonfire building was set up in the middle of the open space, with red lanterns hanging on it, which was very festive.
The witches of the Xuanwu tribe were the first to appear on the stage, offering sacrifices to God and praying to Hongjun, and then the feast could begin.
There are no strict rules of status in the Burnt Desolation Sacrifice, no matter whether it is an emperor or a servant, everyone can find fun from the banquet.
The final seat is located among the sons and goddesses of the gods.With outstanding appearance and great status, someone will come to make friends soon, so he has to find time to deal with it.
When the moon was in the sky, Zhongchen was a little tired from playing, looking at the lively crowd, for some reason, he felt lonely.He simply told the attendant a few words, put on his cloak, and slipped away quietly through the door of the side hall.
The climate in the extreme north is extreme, almost only winter and summer, and the first snow has already ushered in the end of autumn.
The thickness of the snow covered the ankles, and Zhong Chen walked slowly in the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow, with the falcon given by Yifu elder brother on his wrist.
The moonlight shines softly on the crystal snow.Zhong Chen lowered his head, his thoughts drifted away, and he thought of a guy who missed an appointment.
...It would be great if Yifu could come too, the lanterns for the Burnt Desolation Festival are very beautiful.
Finally Chen walked around the main hall and walked on the path leading to his own palace.
There is a nine-story tower beside the road, with its back facing the moonlight, with its eight eaves flying up and copper bells ringing in the night wind.
Someone blew a clear horse whistle.
Chen Chen stamped his feet, raised his head abruptly, and saw a figure sitting on the eaves of the tower with his legs bent, his elbows on his knees, and an invisible bird squatting on his shoulders.
With his back to the moonlight, the man was just a shadow, but Zhong Chen recognized his figure immediately.
He hooked the corners of his mouth without any trace, but his tone was as calm as usual, "You missed the appointment."
"Tonight is not over yet, I don't count as a missed appointment."
The shadow leapt forward, like a nimble big cat, silently landed on the snow in front of him, raised his head, and showed a smiling face.
Yifu wore the costume of the White Tiger Clan tonight. His long hair was only tied at the end and hung loosely behind his back. A circle of thin braids went around the back of his head. The ends of the braids were strung with turquoise and coral; A woolen jacket with brocade sleeves and a hem trimmed with black and white tiger fur.
He was really handsome tonight.
After a few months of absence, his face seemed to have calmed down a lot, but when he saw Zhong Chen, his smile was still bright and soft.
Yi Fu asked tentatively, "Mancheng has a lot of affairs, and I really can't get out as soon as possible. Chen'er won't blame me for this?"
Chen Chen said, "Get out, I don't talk to people who don't keep their word."
"Oh, don't do this—" Yi Fu leaned over aggrieved, poked his fingers, and put his ears on the top of his head obediently.
He wanted to pick and pull again, and he was not allowed to touch for the whole day, and the two of them were fighting on the snow.Alarmed by the actions of the masters, the falcon flew up and landed on the roof.
Zhongchen was just begging for a few strong words, and when he saw Yifu, he was coaxed by good words for a while, so he didn't care about it.
Holding Yifu's hand, he led him back to the banquet, had something to eat with him, and then talked about going to see the lanterns together.
It was rare for Yi Fu to have such a good meal, his eyes shone brightly as he looked at the delicious meat all over the table.
While eating, he whimpered with excitement, "Well... when I was in Mancheng, there were only sheep, melons, and I felt like vomiting when I smelled the smell of sheep."
"Slow down, no one is robbing you."
Zhong Chen brought several plates for him, saw the wind and clouds on the table, smiled, called the waiter, and added another good dish to the table.
Yi Fu gobbled it up, and didn't forget to report what he had done recently.
It turned out that since he had a fight with his elder brother last time, he injured a leg, which resulted in a splint for a whole month.
The injury was healed, and the backlog of affairs in Mancheng was reaching its limit, and the Emperor of the Far West was visiting the Extreme North, so he could only manage Mancheng by himself.
As for why he didn't reply for a long time, Yi Fu said that his negligence caused the death of the blue bird, and he was so ashamed that he didn't have the face to write a letter.
He originally planned to find an opportunity to apologize in person in the future, but after hearing his elder brother come back, he said that Zhong Chen had already forgiven him, so he dared to come to the extreme north to see Zhong Chen immediately.
Chen Chen didn't delve into the matter of Qingniao, but pinched his tiger's ears and said, "If you don't reply to my letter in time, I will ignore you again."
Yi Fu nodded vigorously, "Definitely, definitely."
The two were chatting and eating at a small table in the corner. After a while, a Xuanshou of the same age from the Xuanwu tribe noticed Zhong Chen and came over to say hello.
"Your Highness, hello to Your Highness, Your Highness is accompanying a distinguished guest from Jixi, right?"
Yifu took time out of his busy schedule to take a look at the visitor, and found that it was a very handsome mysterious beast. He greeted happily, "Hello, I am from the White Tiger Clan, and I come from the extreme west."
The other party saluted him respectfully, "May your honored guest have a comfortable night."
Zhongchen turned his head, squeezed a chicken leg, and stuffed it into Yifu's mouth, "Eat your own, don't talk if you have something in your mouth."
Yifu responded with a few murmurs, bit the chicken leg, and obeyed with a smile.
Xuan Beast's eyes wandered back and forth on Zhong Chen and Yi Fu, and with a slight smile, he suddenly changed the language of the Xuan Wu clan, and said to Zhong Chen, "He is not from the Xuan Wu clan. Why does His Highness treat him so well?"
Zhong Chen also answered him in the language of his clan, casually saying, "A friend who hasn't seen him for a long time, shouldn't he be treated with all his heart?"
"Of course, it's just that His Highness should also know some mysterious beasts in the clan. The friendship with foreign clans is not reliable after all, and the life contract is the most reliable." The mysterious beast said calmly.
Zhong Chen raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you teaching me?"
The other party gave a salute, "Don't dare." Afterwards, with a few simple words, he respectfully left.
Yi Fu couldn't understand half a sentence, but felt that the conversation between the two was very modest, and the language of the Xuanwu tribe was also very pleasant to hear, so he praised him sincerely, "Chen'er, you speak so nicely. What were you talking about just now?" ?”
Finally Chen replied casually, "It's nothing, it's just polite words at the banquet."
Yi Fu let out an oh, believed it, and continued to eat and eat.After a while, a servant came to report that all the lanterns in the city had been lit, and the two Highnesses could go to watch the lanterns.
Finally Chen took Yifu away, and both of them left the lively banquet.
Ordinary lantern viewing is to walk on the street, look up, and you can see rows of red lanterns hanging above your head, illuminating a red glow below, and the shadows of the lights are fading.
The place that Zhong Chen chose to watch the lanterns was rather special, it was on an abandoned watchtower on the wall of the inner city.
The area around the watchtower is very quiet, no one disturbs you, sitting on the top of the building and looking out into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Xuanwu City.
This is his secret corner, and he never brings people here easily.Yifu was lucky to be the first visitor.
The two teenagers kicked off the snow on the roof and sat on the slope of the green tiles, leaning on each other, with two falcons beside them.
Zhong Chen pointed it out to Yi Fu, "Going out here, to the Zhongcheng District, is a large organ bridge, which is usually left open, and the people have built houses on the bridge."
"If Xuanwu City is destroyed, raising this bridge will at least preserve the inner city."
"Out of the west city gate is a grassland. Further to the west there is an oasis and a temple, and then to the wasteland. You should have seen more wasteland than I do. The far west is full of deserts."
"It's farther away. See that hexagonal eaves building. There is a song room, the largest in the whole Xuanwu City. Now they hang a lot of lanterns, so beautiful."
Yi Fu said: "When we came out just now, we saw so many people celebrating in the street, but when we looked down from a height, we could only see the lights of the city, and the people were so tiny that we couldn't see them."
"This lantern is so beautiful, it seems to be frozen, it's so bright, it's so quiet."
Eyes full of silent red, Yi Fu listened to Zhong Chen telling him the story of Xuanwu City, and answered from time to time.
Occasionally, when talking about funny things, both of them laughed softly.
Yi Fu suddenly remembered something, and became more courageous, so he pretended to be joking and asked, "Chen'er, I haven't asked just now, are you happy to see me?"
Chen Chen also asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Just to ask, to know if I am a welcome guest."
"Is this also a question?"
Yi Fu said: "If you don't tell me, how would I know?"
There was a long silence without waiting for an answer.Yi Fu looked sideways strangely, but just happened to meet Zhong Chen with a downcast face, smiling quietly.
The firelight of the lantern reflected on the profile of Zhong Chen's face, and his expression softened, without the usual indifference.His smile was clearly from the heart.
In fact, Zhong Chen is very good-looking, when he smiles, the peach blossoms in the corners of his eyes bloom.
Yi Fu felt as if someone had punched his heart, it didn't hurt, but it was numb, he couldn't tell what it was like, his heart was beating fast, and he was a little flustered.
The smile on the corner of Zhongchen's mouth couldn't be hidden, but he still put on airs and said in the usual tone, "I already invited you, so it's not a surprise."
Yi Fu thought to himself that he hadn't mentioned "surprise" just now, but it was Zhong Chen himself who said these two words.
However, he didn't have the courage to put himself on the "surprise that can surprise Zhong Chen". Since Chen'er has warmly entertained him, he should be able to prove that he is happy.
This is also very good, at least don't ignore him like you did when you were a child, just fine.
At night, the two went back and said their goodbyes in front of the Emperor's Palace in Zhongchen.
Yi Fu said that he lived in the west palace complex where the White Tiger Clan stayed, and he had a good rest tonight, and he would come to play with him tomorrow.
He also said that things in the far west are in danger, he can stay in the far north to play with Zhong Chen, even during the entire burnt famine festival.
After Yifu left, Zhongchen walked slowly into his palace.
Changing clothes, taking a bath, and feeling happy, he even hummed a little song when the servant helped brush his scales.
It was rare for the servant to see His Highness in such a mood, so he asked with a smile, "Who did His Highness meet tonight, so happy?"
Chen Chen replied, "I met a friend."
The servant said: "Really? The old servant has taken care of His Highness for so many years, and this is the first time I heard His Highness talk about making good friends. If it is a mysterious beast, His Highness might as well contact more. In a few hundred years, His Highness will also choose a partner." , It’s always right to get acquainted first.”
Zhong Chen was silent for a while, and then asked, "Can the partner of a martial beast only choose a mysterious beast?"
The servant thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but the old servant has lived for 12 years and has never seen a Xuanwu choose a foreign race as a partner. Maybe because the foreign race is not as loyal as ours, it will always be boring. And dedicated, Xuanwu still can only choose Xuanwu."
"If Your Highness has other thoughts, the old servant dares to overstep and advise His Highness to calm down as soon as possible, so as not to fall into a situation where you can't stop, which will only increase the pain."
After taking a bath, the good mood that lasted all night was gone.
Climbing onto the bed, hugging the brocade quilt, shrinking herself into a cocoon, staring at a certain place on the ground, thinking about the night.
So it's still a pure friendship. It's nothing unusual to do something special together, such as watching lanterns all night under the first snow.
He can watch the lantern with Yifu, or he can be with other friends, it doesn't necessarily mean that Yifu has to.
He must have grown up soon, and he started to think about his partner.It's still early, think about it later.
But tonight Yifu asked him if he was happy, and he was really happy, after all, this unscrupulous white tiger said that he would not come, but suddenly came again, which added a lot of color to him tonight.
It's always a pleasure to see you again.
And for the next two months, they can all play together.Thinking of this makes me even happier.
The author has something to say: I could have updated it last night, but it turned out to be drinktoomuch, sorry hahhhhh
