When the dawn of the new morning appeared in the sky, the hustle and bustle of the night gradually dissipated.There was no more urgent signal in the western sky, but the man who had just left seemed to have no intention of turning back.

Water was poured on the steps of the Changhua Hall many times, but the blood stains were not cleaned.The cleaners were frowning, and the door of the main hall opened.

Xiao Tianze took a nap for a few hours, and called Xiao Beichen as soon as he got up.He looked around and couldn't answer, so he buried his head in thought for a while and then went to find the person himself.

He went all the way to the ancestral hall, and he was sure that someone was inside before he opened the door.

"I knew you were here." Xiao Tianze stepped back, took the cloak that Xue Tao had prepared extra, and walked in alone.

Xiao Beichen stayed up all this time, took off his outer robe and came here.At this moment, he was sitting on the ground facing the door, with white smoke wafting from the incense candle behind him.Seeing the person and the sun, he patted the futon beside him and helped Xiao Tianze sit down.

Afterwards, seeing that the person was just sitting quietly, he spoke first and asked, "You didn't tell my son the real cause of the queen's death at that time."

After Ji Muqing had an accident in the palace, Xiao Beichen felt more and more that he should sort out the grievances of the previous generation as soon as possible.After much deliberation, he finally decided to ask Xiao Tianze directly.Normally, he is more willing to check by himself.

At first, Xiao Tianze was shocked by what he knew and did not admit it, but the father and son talked for several days, and finally they were honest with each other.

Hearing this, Xiao Tianze paused for a long time before sighing: "Your mother used to live in a boudoir for a long time, and she is a good girl. She always loves to sew new clothes for you."

The ancestral hall is protected from light all year round, and the ground is cool.He covered the man with the cloak in his hand, and said slowly: "Sex is enough to be careful and bold. Although it seems that he has not studied for a few years, he loves to learn and ask questions. During the three years with you, he quietly lit the lamp to read history every night. , I will carry you to Changhua Hall to read the memorials of the ministers during the day."

Obviously, this kind of behavior cannot be simply called studious, Xiao Beichen frowned, and quickly understood.But Xiao Tianze said: "Her appearance is full of loopholes, but in fact she didn't do anything at all in the end."

"Then she is?" Xiao Beichen pursed his lips and curled his fingers slightly.

"No hurry, Rong Gu said slowly." Xiao Tianze coughed twice, "It was only two years since Gu took the throne at the time, and a group of corrupt officials who formed cliques and pursued personal interests were rectified. It came out. Gu had no idea about the national treasury at the time, and the money to appease the family and make up for the project flowed out. As a result, the weather was not good that year, and the autumn harvest was affected.”

Xiao Beichen raised his eyebrows after hearing this, as if he was different from his impression of his father's administration.However, it is said that the officials of the previous generation were the best and the worst. They were all busy cultivating power, and their achievements were mostly a mess.

"Winter is approaching, and there is not enough food. However, the lonely throne has not yet been secured, how can it lose the hearts of the people like this?" Xiao Tianze saw the doubts in the other party's heart, but continued, "There is no way, the court had to reduce taxes again. , As a result, the people were happy, and all the ministers secretly scolded Gu for not being the master of the world."

He paused suddenly, with a smile on his face, "But there is one person who supports Gu's decision from beginning to end."

"Mother?" Xiao Beichen thought for a while and asked softly.

Xiao Tianze nodded, "Didn't your mother come to Donggan for her own people? After watching this series of events in the palace, she suddenly realized that the royal family she was born and raised in is not worthy of ruling Chijin at all."

"There are many countries with difficult conditions in ancient times, but her royal family couldn't even do the most basic thing of sharing adversity with the people. After that, she frequently sent letters to her father and brother, trying to persuade them. But at that time, the orphan I don't know what she thinks, so even if I turn a blind eye to it on weekdays, there is a limit." He sighed.

"On the night of the showdown, your mother didn't explain, she slammed the door and hid in the house alone, and was rescued at noon the next day."

In the second half of the sentence, Xiao Beichen's heart was pulled.

Xiao Tianze glanced at him, and sighed: "She has been using the medicine controlled by others, but she stopped taking it after falling out with her father and brother. Later, when Gu learned the truth, she clamored to liquidate Chijin, but your mother refused. "

"The royal palace searched all over the world for good doctors, but they only allowed her to accompany you for a year with peace of mind. On the last night, after she coaxed you to sleep, she died in Gu's arms."

After finishing speaking, the sadness in that tone did not fade away.Xiao Beichen took a deep breath, and said guiltily, "I'm ashamed, I don't even have any impression."

"How young you were then." Xiao Tianze patted him on the back to show comfort, "But during those days, Nan Ning was very happy and never felt so free. And she loved you very much, Gu didn't lie to you .”

After both of them were silent, they could hear the burning of incense candles on the altar.Xiao Beichen tilted his head slightly, using his peripheral vision to look at the tablet quietly placed on it.But it's a pity that no matter how I recall, I can only remember a vague figure.

The door of the house is actually not closed, and the golden wind squeezed in through the crack of the door indicates that autumn is coming.Year after year, smooth or muddled, they are all living.

Xiao Tianze shook his hand again and said solemnly: "In a few days, Gu will pass on the position to you."

Xiao Beichen was slightly startled, and persuaded: "Father is in good health, and the chronic poison inhaled into the body before can be completely eliminated soon. If you are still unable to do what you want, I will share your worries."

"It's not for this reason, it's because I want to spend my old age peacefully earlier." Xiao Tianze raised his airs, "Besides, even if he abdicates alone, he will still be your father."

There was no expression on Xiao Beichen's face. After a long pause, he asked seriously, "Father, have you thought it through?"

"You child, are you also longing for it?" Xiao Tianze heard his rising tone, and squinted his eyes to examine him, "For the Ji Ling scene again?"

Xiao Beichen shook his head with a smile, "My son just wants to keep him by my side, his identity doesn't matter." After talking about it, he also found that he really hoped so.After all, a word from the king of the dynasty can make lovers who go to the west return immediately.

Seeing that the people around him were secretly happy, Xiao Tianze still reminded him solemnly: "Your marriage with him has not been announced to the world, so I advise you to determine the successor first."

He twirled the finger on his thumb, and said earnestly: "Your eldest brother should calm down after this incident, you can choose one of his two sons to teach. Or, if you find the child who was left alone in the past—then The child is about ten years old, so I don't know if he can take on the big responsibility."

Xiao Beichen lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to meet him, and asked, "Father is sure that the same woman had a child in Baizhou a few years ago."

"Xue Tao has been looking after the family for Gu Gu for many years, most likely he can't be wrong." Afterwards, Xiao Tianze felt that he couldn't make such a determination, so he said again: "You find the person first, and then test the relatives."

"People have been in the capital all the time, and the ministers have been handed over to the Taifu to teach."

Previously, Xiao Beichen's men followed Rong Yunfei all over the place, and finally found Xunhualou.Xiao Beichen has a special impression of this place of fireworks.Then, he recalled all the people who were searching outside.

But in Ji's Mansion, he found someone as expected.On that day, Xiao Beichen met with someone in a hurry, and asked who his teacher was and his name, so he didn't bother him anymore.

After recovering quickly, he bowed his head and asked: "But the Tai Tuo is naturally not as strict as the father, and I have to trouble you to educate him in the future."

Xiao Tianze didn't think much, nodded and said: "This is Gu's son, it's Gu's responsibility." Before he knew it, the light spot on the ground had moved to the door, and he coughed lightly twice.

"Father should rest more." Seeing that his face was still tired, Xiao Beichen slowly helped him up.

Xiao Tianze was supported towards the door, suddenly thought of something, and said again: "What Gu said last night about 'take back the territory', don't teach the frontier guards to take it seriously. War wastes people and money, and your mother doesn't want to see it. If a country is really lucky When the time comes, we don't need to intervene." Speaking of this, he is satisfied with the prosperous world he has worked so hard to achieve in half his life.

"My sons and ministers respectfully obey the teachings."

"Go ahead, Gu also wants to be alone." It was very clear outside the house, he let Xiao Beichen go, no one followed him, and he didn't look back when he went away.

His figure is still tall and straight, even after all the vicissitudes.

Perhaps it was because the frontier defense had made preparations in advance.When Zhao Ke led the crowd to Moyan Pass, several generals who stayed behind had stabilized the situation.

When Ji Muqing arrived, the red gold infantry had stopped attacking.Fortunately, he didn't work in vain in the end, so he kept an eye out and asked his men to follow behind with the red-gold envoy.In the few days after the envoy arrived, he inspected the fortifications of Moyan Pass.

"It's only been a year, but this place has been well built." At this moment, Ji Muqing was standing on the newly built city wall, overlooking the vast and boundless desert.Not far away, a broken flag plunged deep into the yellow sand, stained with mud and blood, and no one asked.

Duan Yan, who accompanied him, also sighed: "The king's capital attaches great importance to Moyanguan. The craftsmen usually build the fortifications day and night. A few days ago, the red gold invaded, and they stepped up their repairs." Afterwards, he saw Ji Muqing but smiled and said nothing. Question: "Master, have you thought about how to deal with those envoys?"

Ji Muqing turned his head to look at him, and said indifferently: "The two envoys and Bailiye will be sent back directly. As for that Mr. Chu...you can let him stay, but if you want to stay, you will have to be supervised by someone in the future, but you must guarantee him I'm just full for the rest of my life."

After all, I still want to leave people behind. "Master, is it because of his status?" Duan Yan asked.

Ji Muqing smiled, and said frankly: "Yes." Afterwards, he heard a call coming from under the city wall, so he patted off the dust on the railing, and went forward with his hands behind his back.

The escorted people were much quieter than expected. After looking at each one, Ji Muqing raised his hand and asked the soldiers to open and close the door, but after a long time, he did not give any further instructions.

After the sound of horseshoes came from behind him, he said leisurely: "This general specially asked your country to send people to pick up the honorable envoys. I also hope that you will send gold ten thousand taels and pearls and jade thousand stones first when you visit in the future. In that case, this general may consider Welcome everyone."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hands to see off the guests.

After the two Yashi brothers were pushed out dejectedly, they walked straight forward without thinking much, but Bailiye hesitated on the spot.The desert was braving the heat under the scorching sun, and he squinted his eyes to see who the leader was, before he walked.

After a while, he was about to call "brother" loudly, but suddenly he saw archers lined up in front of him.The two Yashi brothers who were walking in the front were hit by several arrows in the blink of an eye. Bailiye's eyes widened and he turned around to escape, but the door was gradually closed.

At the last moment, Ji Muqing, who had witnessed everything, said slowly: "The so-called self-destruction, even the heavens can't help it."

Young Master Chu, who was left in the pass, trembled all over when he saw this.After a long time, he was about to muster up the courage to ask how he should be dealt with, when Ji Muqing took the portrait held by Duan Yan and gently handed it to him.

Without saying a word, Ji Muqing stretched his muscles and bones after finishing the business, and left leisurely humming the songs sung by the children in the city.

***

In the night in the western region, sandstorms have blown these past few days, the bright moon has been dyed a dim yellow color, and the stars are even fainter.After doing nothing for many days, Ji Muqing finally couldn't help but want to go home.

After he handed over the brochure to Wang Du, he received Xiao Beichen's approval.At first, he didn't think much about it at all, thinking that Xiao Beichen couldn't wait anymore.

Thinking of this, Ji Muqing was in a good mood.After dawdling for a few more days, he finally returned to the capital with his soldiers in a mighty manner at the juncture of early autumn.

After several days of rapid travel, Ji Muqing changed into regular clothes at the main camp before continuing eastward.

He has walked this path countless times in his previous life, and every time he goes back and forth, he is mostly a witness to life and death and a leader who follows his successor.The only constant is his lonely figure riding a horse.

The wind and sand rushed past my ears.Unconsciously, Ji Muqing saw the solemn vermilion gate in the distance.He didn't slow down his horse riding, and rushed forward amidst the anxious voices of people beside him calling him.

In the nick of time, he tightened the reins.The horse's front hooves flew into the air, brushing off the man's sleeve and falling to the side.

Xiao Beichen stood calmly in his low-key white clothes.At this moment when the man jumped off the horse and came to him, his expression changed a bit, "You...are you trying to murder your husband?"

Ji Muqing raised his eyebrows, and ignored the words, "It's a great honor for the humble minister to welcome you personally." He saluted seriously, keeping a step away from the person.

"Are you tired?" Xiao Beichen softened his tone and approached him to hug him.

"This is the duty of the minister." Ji Muqing took a step back.

Xiao Beichen almost laughed angrily.

He looked at the opposite side with a serious look, sighed, and took the man's hand straight to the city gate. "I thought about it, how about giving you silk, gold and silver jewelry?"

"Vulgar." Ji Muqing frowned and said in disgust.

"'Ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand stones of pearls and jade.' Who said that?" Xiao Beichen asked with a smile.

The frontier guards had been notifying the capital of the repatriation of the envoys, but Ji Muqing did not expect such details.He curled his lips, and said bluntly: "Your Highness is so insincere, you can't coax people like this." After speaking, he didn't care about the people on the left and right, and jumped onto Xiao Beichen's back.

Xiao Beichen hurriedly stabilized his figure, but he didn't care much.Then, noticing the heat on the back of his neck, he turned his head to say something, but saw Ji Muqing's head stretched out to his shoulder.

His face was reflected in those shining eyes.

When the four eyes met, Ji Muqing found that he had all his black hair tied up today, revealing his smooth forehead. "Your Highness doesn't seem to have carried me much."

As Ji Muqing spoke slowly, she felt more and more that looking at people at such a close distance, it seemed that the heartbeat of her youth was still in her chest.Realizing that his heart was beating faster and faster, he made a gesture to get down in a panic, but was caught by Xiao Beichen.

"Well——" Xiao Beichen smiled slightly at the beginning, "There will be many opportunities in the future."

Afterwards, he quietly walked with his back on his back for a while, when Mo Yu behind him suddenly stepped forward and suggested, "Your Majesty, we are almost at the city gate, why don't you let go of General Ji first?"

Hearing this, Ji Muqing widened her eyes and stared at the person in front of her in a daze.Xiao Beichen continued walking leisurely, the corners of his mouth curled up a little.

After a while, Ji Muqing put his arms around him tightly, leaned close to his ear and tentatively said: "The harem should be disbanded, I won't take care of it."

Xiao Beichen nodded slightly, "Anyway, we have to rectify, and there won't be many people left."

"After getting married, I still want to go to Nan Ya occasionally." Ji Muqing asked again.

"I don't take back my military power."

Ji Muqing moved closer again, leaning against the man's cheek and asked, "I'm tired, why don't you fight Chijin?"

Xiao Beichen was slightly stunned, his eyes full of Wang Qinghong smiled, "If you don't fight, you don't fight, you have me standing upright."

"..."

Today, there are more pedestrians coming and going at the west city gate, not to mention that the new king of Donggan came to greet the soldiers in person today.At this moment, people were pushing each other on tiptoes and looking at this side, and exclamations continued to come out.

Beside the city wall, a flowering tree was planted at some point.In the season when all things wither, it takes the prosperity of spring and summer to the distance.The subsequent winter sleep is for the continuation of the beauty of the three seasons in the coming year.

After Ji Muqing got off the man's back, he faced him.He cautiously raised his eyes to look at the person, then quickly lowered his eyes to look at the hands with interlocking fingers.

"Weichen...how can He De be able?" He opened his mouth and finally asked.But Xiao Beichen didn't make a sound, just embraced him in his arms.

The distant mountains are like Daisy, the clouds are rolling and the clouds are relaxing, and the world is full of turmoil, but we can go through it hand in hand, and the sound of the heartbeat in the ear is even more real.Ji Muqing immediately felt his feet, Xiao Beichen slowly lowered his head, and kissed his brow.

"Because, the favorite of love, eternal life, preference."

(End of text)

The author has something to say: As the author's first published work, this article has gone through ups and downs.There is no outline and no drafts, only the prototype that I wrote down suddenly with a burst of inspiration.Not only that, but the author has been in a state of being repeatedly rejected after repeated applications. The only happy thing should be to bet with the reviewers that this article cannot be signed before the text is finished, and then I won back two covers. Money, well, still sad.

The author has studies and projects, and his hands are fast.In fact, I am writing every day, but the number of words is not enough for a chapter, so I can't do daily updates.Regarding this point... only by practicing hand speed.But these nearly four months are really a precious memory, and when I think about it later, I should be very moved.

After that, there is the fantasy drama next door, which I haven't written about Infinity Stream, but the author doesn't need to search for information.Guaranteed quality and quantity but not speed QAQ. Originally, the author should save the full text of the manuscript, but the author has promised the little angel next door to try to make it seamless, so he can only suffer for a few more months.

Finally, I wish all the little angels who see here will succeed in their studies, work smoothly, live smoothly, and be happy every day.

PS. How could there be no extra episodes? The author knocked on the front line of CP.
