Bright moon out of Tianshan

Xiao Jian thought for a moment, then solemnly said: "A gentleman does not take away people's love, I don't want it. Since the eldest prince wants it, give it to him. Are you still in touch?"

Xiu Mei nodded, Xiao Jian continued to think for a while, and said: "I really want to go to Youzhou, but unfortunately I am too strict to have a chance. I am not in good health, maybe I will die when I can't get there. How can this be good?"

Xiumei said: "What are you going to Youzhou for? Guangchang Road to Youzhou, the road is unimpeded, and it is very fast if you want to go. Changing horses along the way takes only a few days. If you are urgent, I will go for you. They don't care about me. Yan, when you ask, you just say that I went shopping for Lilac. I will agree with you."

Xiao Jian said: "I have a big brother who has been in Youzhou. I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him very much and want him to come and see me. His name is Xiao Xiong."

Xiao Xiong is a famous person in the world, the number one mourner in Jianghu, Xiu Mei also saw him on the Yangtze River, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's him? It's like thunder. I'll go find him for you. Xiao Jian gave him the token of the deputy head of the branch hall in Jinling, and said: "Take this, I heard that he was delayed in the Huimeng building in Youzhou, so he should be able to find it. Go and come back quickly." He paused, in the darkness, stretched out his hands to cover his face, and murmured, "I...don't want to wait any longer, I can't wait any longer..."

Xiumei took the token, but the guards didn't pay much attention to him, so he easily left the barracks the next day and went to Youzhou.

Xiao Jian waited day and day for Xiao Xiong and Xiu Mei to come, and on the fifth day, there was still no news.That day, he was sitting in a high chair watching the soldiers drill, surrounded by a large group of guards behind him who supervised him and were at his disposal.But there was a sound of horseshoes coming from the gate of the barracks, followed by chaos.Xiao Jian hurriedly turned his head, but saw Qi Jia's tall figure appearing, dismounting and walking towards him.Startled in his heart, he stood up calmly, and the guards around him quickly supported him.

Qi Jia approached step by step with a sullen face, and said coldly: "Where did Xiumei go?"

Xiao Jian said: "Master Qi, Xiumei went to buy something for Ding Xiang, maybe I will send it back to her after buying."

Qi Jia said: "You are talking nonsense. I have already asked about Taiyuan, but he didn't go."

Xiao Jian said: "The villain is not very clear, maybe he hasn't reached the place yet."

Qi Jia fell silent, and said for a long while: "You deny it. Your Majesty sent me here to ask you where Xiumei is going. If you can't explain clearly, you can take your soldiers and horses with me and come face-to-face. Go and explain to His Majesty, it just so happens that manpower is tight before the battle."

Xiao Jian smiled and said: "I have a problem with my body and bones in the water dungeon, and you know it. The road is bumpy, and I may die when I can't reach the place. How will you do business then?" Qi Jia said: "It doesn't matter if you live or die, take it to the place Just do it."

Zhao Yuancai is now stationed in Xiangyuan, about sixty miles north of Luzhou.Xiao Jian and Qi Jia came all the way with soldiers and horses. After riding for a few days, the bones were about to be knocked apart, so they had to slow down the journey and gritted their teeth.Qi Jia was extremely patient as he was so dawdling, and accompanied him all the way without saying a word.

It took them six days to arrive after a three-day journey. When they were about [-] or [-] miles north of Xiangyuan, they saw flags fluttering on the avenue in front of them, smoke and dust billowed everywhere, and a group of people came running.There was a man in black clothes and a black horse, with golden dragon patterns looming on his clothes, but it was Zhao Yuancai who greeted him.

Qi Jia stopped his horse and then dismounted to salute.Zhao Yuancai waved his hand and said, "No." His eyes fell on Xiao Jian who was behind him, and he couldn't let go of him immediately, staring at him for a moment.Xiao Jian also wanted to get off his horse to show him a ceremony, but his whole body was stiff and in pain, he couldn't move, so he could only smile helplessly.

Zhao Yuancai frowned slightly, got off his horse and walked over, staring at his pale face, said: "What's wrong with you? Are you still in pain?" Stretching out his hand to him, Xiao Jian hesitated for a moment, and put his hand in his palm , finally got off the horse with his strength, but suddenly his eyes dimmed, but Zhao Yuancai embraced him in front of his chest, and heard him ask in a low voice: "Where did you send Xiumei? Tell me!"

Xiao Jian said: "He told me to buy something for Ding Xiang, maybe the road will turn off." Zhao Yuancai looked at him dubiously, and suddenly sneered: "I want to see what he can bring back. .If you lie to me, beware of your lives. Follow me back to the barracks."

Xiao Jian wondered: "My whole body hurts, I really can't ride a horse, let me take two steps to loosen my muscles and bones." Seeing that his walking was really difficult, Zhao Yuancai said, "I will walk with you." Holding him slowly Walking into the wilderness to the east, a group of guards followed from a distance under the leadership of Qi Jia.

Now in mid-spring, when we were about to travel for a while, the area ahead was pink and willows were green, and we could hear the faint sound of water.Zhao Yuancai said: "Over there is the Zhuozhang River, go, I'll take you there to have a look."

Xiao remonstrated, "What's so good about the river?"

Zhao Yuancai said: "We have less river water here than in the south of yours. My Zhao country is very rich, but it lacks water. Apart from the Yellow River and the Fen River, the next big river is the Zhuozhang River." On the other side, the river is very powerful, deep and urgent, about several miles wide.There are many warships lined up on the water far to the south.Because there are few rivers in Zhao State, there are also few water troops. These warships are only used for patrolling and defending back and forth on the river, and are rarely used for combat.

Xiao Jian was so exhausted that he couldn't stand up any longer, so he found a flat boulder and sat down.Zhao Yuancai sat beside him, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I brought a few Persian girls with me when I came out this time, not even Baili Rong."

Xiao remonstrated: "Your Majesty...have you changed your ways?"

Zhao Yuancai said: "I just want to try, can I do without so many people? Now a month has passed, and I will be able to get by. I will bring less and less in the future. One day, I will not bring anyone, of course If you want to follow me."

Xiao Jian hummed, and suddenly the hand on his knee trembled slightly, and said without words: "Does Your Majesty like Baili Rong very much?"

Zhao Yuancai turned his head and thought about it, and said seriously: "It's okay, he is more obedient and can make people happy. Unlike you, he never said a good word to me. He always wants to plot against me behind his back."

Xiao remonstrated: "Then, does Your Majesty also like Persian girls? What's so good about them?"

Zhao Yuancai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said intoxicatedly: "Didn't you almost snatch a Persian girl back? As for the benefits, you'll know it after you get into bed. Enthusiasm, our Central Plains girls just can't let go." Xiao Jian's hands stopped shaking, and he accidentally laughed out loud.

Zhao Yuancai suddenly repented, looked at him helplessly, and laughed at himself: "The truth is revealed. You are telling me, Xiaoxiao, you did it on purpose. I don't bother with you about the previous things. You can break your arm." Don't bother with me, I'll get someone to treat you properly later on, how about letting him go with the flow of the river?"

Xiao Jian looked at him sideways, and said, "Okay." Zhao Yuancai heard it in his ears, and immediately began to push forward: "Come and eat with me tonight, and I'll catch you up. After you drink, will the pain be relieved a little? "

Xiao Jian nodded and said, "Yes, it will be better."

It was late at the reception banquet, only Zhao Yuancai and Xiao Jian were there, and the attendants poured wine for them. During the banquet, Xiao Jian asked, "Your Majesty, when will you let me go back to Guangchang Road?" Zhao Yuancai poured the wine for him personally. , said: "This time the master is out to fight, even if you are called, you don't need to intervene. Just watch and see how I can take Luzhou back. I have gathered all the soldiers and horses around to deploy Well, when Luzhou is taken again, you can go back anytime."

Xiao Jian twirled the wine glass unconsciously, then drank it down in one gulp.He counted the time, Xiao Xiong and Xiumei should have arrived at the military camp on Guangchang Road long ago, he was not there, he wondered if they would follow.With the ups and downs of thoughts, he became half drunk before he knew it, and when he became sleepy, he got up and left.Zhao Yuancai suddenly took a few steps forward, hugged his slender waist from behind, and begged in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, please stay, okay? Stay and sleep with me. Don't make me wait any longer, so Go on, maybe I will not be able to get you until the day I die, and I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

Xiao Jian was stunned, and looked around, the attendants in the palace had left without knowing when.He paused and stood still.Guangchang Road, Secret Road Map, Baili Rong... These words circled back and forth in my mind for a moment. What will this huge and empty future be?Zhao Guo will go to that kind of situation?What will happen to Zhao Yuancai in the end?

Xiao Jian's mind began to become dizzy, he pulled his arm away, turned to look at him, and said, "I'm sick, my whole body hurts, thanks to you."

Zhao Yuancai said: "You forced me, and I feel bad too. I won't do it in the future."

Looking at his bright black eyes, Xiao Jian felt dizzy suddenly, and hastily stretched out his hand to grab the bright yellow tassels on the tent beside him.He paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Then be careful."

Zhao Yuancai said: "I will be careful, don't worry, I will be more careful."
