Bright moon out of Tianshan

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Xiao Jian couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

Gao Huai was speechless, just lying on the window sill.Xiao Jian became suspicious, turned back quickly, and looked at him with his head.But he saw Gao Huai's face was pale, his face was full of tears, his right hand was pulling his clothes on his chest, his eyes were closed and he was motionless.Xiao Jian panicked, and hurriedly said: "You...are you suffering from some serious illness? Does your heart hurt? Do you want to call a doctor?" He wanted to help him, but he was a little afraid of him, but he suddenly murmured He read a poem: "When did we fish in the cold river and snow? Where are the flowers falling..."

It turned out that he was still alive.

Xiao Jian listened intently, suddenly his heart moved, and he asked: "Do you know him? Where did he go? I asked Mr. Ye Qi from Thirteen Banners, but he didn't answer me."

Gao Huai also didn't answer him, and after a while he said in a shy voice: "I'm fine, you can go." Xiao Jian looked at him helplessly, and had no choice but to leave the house full of doubts.

Today is the seventh day of April.

Three years ago today, on the banks of the Jinsha River in southern Sichuan, azaleas were blooming, cuckoos were singing, green hills were rolling, and the river was roaring.Surrounded by a group of enemies, the misty vanilla beauty in red threw down the long sword in her hand, fell into the Jinsha River, and never came back.

At that time, Gao Huai's name was Yan Huaiyue. After realizing it, he searched for a long way downstream along the river like crazy. Zhong Ruota hired a large number of local mountain people to search together, almost turning the rushing Jinsha River upside down. , finally found someone, Yan Huaiyue struggled to go over to take a look, but was held back by Taoyao and Zhong Ruota, the local elders who followed him as a guide advised him: "Don't go over, if your tears If you drop it on him, he will care about you, and you will never be reborn."

He can only watch from a distance, how much tenderness is like water, how can he be worthy of this eternal separation of yin and yang?From then on, there is a lonely grave for thousands of miles, and there is no place to talk about desolation.

Gao Hong waited for Xiao Jian confidently in the palace, but unexpectedly, Gao Huai waited for him, and it was Gao Huai who was full of murderous spirit.

Gao Hong was very surprised: "Third brother? Oh, are you tired of staying in our family's resplendent palace? Why do you have such a good mood to visit your brother's dilapidated mansion? Brother Yu suddenly feels that it is full of splendor, Flourishing and shining!"

Gao Huai said: "Brother Huang, have you withheld Xiao Jian's selection post? Give it to me."

Gao Hong looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said: "I am an old friend with Grand Master Xiao. He left such a little blood, how can this king not take good care of him? He is not sensible for a child, so this Wang coaxed him to come over to discuss it, and he was also thinking about his future."

Gao Huai said: "Brother Huang, whoever you want to support needs mutual consent."

Gao Hong sneered: "Consciousness? It seems that the youngest is well versed in this way of sympathizing with love and cherishing jade! It's a pity that this king is not that patient, and he is born not to see these ignorant things! The more Wang wanted to suppress him, you let him get it himself!"

Gao Huai felt disgusted when he heard his vulgar and arrogant words, and said lightly: "Brother Huang, Xiao Jian has received special permission from his father, are you not afraid that he will enter the palace to sue?"

Gao Hong continued to sneer: "Third Brother, don't just carry Father out. Father is sick and can't take care of these nosy matters. Or do you want Father to vomit a few more mouthfuls of blood? Anyway, you live close, Father is really If there is a mistake, you can also get the moon first, right?"

Gao Huai was already in a gloomy mood, but when he heard this, he was furious, and suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath with a sullen face, the stream of light flashed by, Gao Hong was shocked, and flew to dodge, but suddenly his neck felt cold, the sword was already on his neck, he was not afraid of danger , shouted: "What do you want to do?"

Gao Huai said slowly: "Brother Huang, if I really accidentally kill you, I will kill you if I kill you. Even if my father asks me to take my life, but your ambition and half-life pride will also go to waste. Are you willing? You can think clearly!"

Gao Hong said angrily: "Third brother, you fought with your brother for the sake of an outsider! Are you obsessed with sex? Then what's so good about Xiao Jian? It's worth it?"

Gao Huai said: "Since there is nothing good, why does the emperor withhold his posts and threaten him?"

The two of them stood in a stalemate with a sword. There were a lot of guards outside the hall at the door, but no one dared to come in. The cold air in the hall was constantly escaping, making people feel chilly.The muscles on Gao Hong's face twitched and throbbed for a long while, thinking that he would not be able to take advantage of the loss in front of him, and that he would not be able to stand up to his father, but he returned the post like this, but he was also very unwilling, so he held back his anger He laughed and said, "Come here, bring Xiao Jian's text here! Third brother, you put away the sword, let's discuss it in the long run. You asked for the text for nothing, but where do you let your brother lose face?"

Gao Huai withdrew the sword according to his words, put his hand back into the sheath, and said neatly, "My brother, I have no other skills other than being fast with my sword and killing people swiftly. Moreover, I am in a bad mood today and I don't have much patience. The emperor must be cautious. Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Gao Hong said: "Okay, let's be straightforward. After this martial arts test, the top three and the top ten must be outstanding talents. I led soldiers to fight in Southern Shu for three years, and lost many generals. , since you and I plan to go out at the same time, how are these people allocated?"

Gao Huai said, "Say it."

Gao Hongdao: "Isn't the third brother doing things based on mutual consent? Let's go together to advise the father. The top ten are up to them to choose who they are willing to follow. The difference is that the No. 11 will be replaced later. How about it? "

Gao Huai frowned slightly, and understood Brother Huang's sinister intentions.This group of young generals recruited hastily by Chun Wei has no experience in marching and fighting, so they need to experience a lot before they can see who is available.Gao Hong has led many subordinates to fight for many years, and he will never take these people seriously.But he has a great reputation and a great reputation. If this allows people to choose freely, those who want to make contributions will naturally join him.He did this for no other reason than to take the opportunity to embarrass himself.

But Gao Huai has lived to this day, and he no longer cares about these things, so he said: "Then it's up to you. Tomorrow you enter the palace and go to see the emperor together."

Gao Hong ordered someone to fetch Xiao Jian's post, Gao Huai took it, confirmed it was correct, and went out without saying a word, Gao Hong smiled behind him: "Third brother, walk slowly and don't see it off, come often in the future."

When Gao Huai was nowhere to be seen, he shouted viciously: "Send a letter to the Seventh Young Master of the Thirteen Banners quickly, and call two of his protectors to escort me to this king! Can't the king live this day?" After chasing to the gate of the palace to look outside, he gritted his teeth and said, "Young man, wait! You have annoyed me, and if I seize the opportunity one day, I will knock you down together! This king is no less compassionate than you!"

It was dusk when Gao Huai arrived at Cuixiu Academy.Wei Young, Xiao Jian, and Ding Wuxia claimed to celebrate Xiao Jian, and took a group of girls to occupy a private room in Mingyingtang.Xiao Jian is very attractive to the girls, and now he has mixed up in the academy to the point where he is like a fish in water.He was held down by the women and drank a lot of wine, slightly drunk, leaning limply on his brother-in-law.Ding Wuxia circled him with one hand, and protected him with the other hand from several younger sisters who were persuading him to drink, and they were chattering with joy.

Under the guidance of the little maid, Gao Huai endured the smell of powder in the air and walked to the door of the room. Seeing the distressed scene, his face slowly sank, and he just stood by the door and did not go in.Wei Young was extremely clever, and hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Wei Young has met His Highness the Third Highness. His Highness is here, what orders do you have?"

The handsome and elegant Third Highness still had a sullen face, handed out the post, and said, "I have no instructions. This is from Xiao Jian, you give it to him." Xiao Jian heard him speak in the room, and suddenly woke up, full of surprises Suddenly, he jumped up and flew to grab it, reached out and grabbed the post, read it carefully, and once again squinted his eyes, unable to restrain his joy.He barely stood up straight and bowed respectfully to Gao Huai, saying, "Thank you, Third Highness."

Gao Huai said in his heart: "You can rest assured that you are here drinking for fun. You are not afraid that I will give it to you. Will you come?" But he didn't bother to talk to him, and got up to leave, but was stopped by Wei Young's body, and said: "Third Highness, Wei Young would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my ignorant brother. Please come in and let me toast you a glass of wine, please?"

Gao Huai backed away slightly, and said, "No need." Wei Young, who had experienced a long time and insight into the world, vaguely saw that he didn't like to get too close to women, so he hurriedly said: "I'll let the girls go out and reopen Banquet. Can only Tiantian and Mr. Wuxia accompany you?" Before he could agree, he had already ordered.Then he winked at Xiao Jian and Ding Wuxia and asked them to invite Gao Huai.

Xiao Jian is not stupid, when he saw Wei Young's eyes, he suddenly realized the key point, he hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "Third Highness, you have taken good care of me over and over again, let me toast the Third Highness, can I express my heart? Before leaving, my elder brother told me that Jiangnan Five Great Halls has a deep relationship with His Highness the Third Highness, and as the deputy head of the Jinling branch hall, I should have asked His Highness Third Highness for advice more. If I offended you before, please also ask Haihan."

Seeing that he was blocking the way, Gao Huai lifted Xiao Xiong out with words, but he couldn't insist on leaving. Moreover, with his state of mind today, going back and facing the lonely moon hanging high alone, he was also lonely and suffering. torment.Thinking of this, he followed him into the room.Wei Young has quickly brought people to reopen the banquet, and asked Gao Huai to take a seat at the head. As expected, the girls were thrown out, and two boys in Tsing Yi were called over to pour wine.

The initial atmosphere was a little dull, Gao Huai just kept silent, Xiao Jian and Ding Wuxia didn't dare to say more, Wei Young was not very old, but in his twenties, he was well-versed in dealing with people, and his words were longer than younger brothers. Yes, the atmosphere became lively after a while.During the meeting, Ding Wuxia took the opportunity to inquire who the chief examiner of the riding and archery and martial arts competition in this martial arts test was. Gao Huai glanced at the expectant eyes of the two, and said, "Don't Ding Shangshu know? Why are you asking me?"
