Small wood

When walking on the road, others would take a look at Ji Dong, and then cover their mouths and discuss in a low voice, their eyes rolled and rolled, and when the flowery little girls saw him, some of their cheeks turned red, He took a round fan to cover his face.

Amu didn't let Ji Dong go, Ji Dong followed behind him, three steps, no more and no less.

Amu looked at him, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why he suddenly stood beside him, scratched his hair, blinked his eyes, sniffed his nose, but couldn't figure it out.

Maybe it was because Ji Dong couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened his mouth first: "Master, if you want to ask anything, just ask."

Amu was actually waiting for his sentence, and said excitedly: "Where were you staying just now, why did you suddenly come here!"

Lin Yi said, "I'm next door, jump out the window."

Amu sighed, and asked again: "After I let you go that day, where did you stay?"

Lin Yi said, "On the tree."

Amu blinked his eyes, suddenly clapped his fists, and asked, "Then when I sleep, will you follow me?"

Ji Dong's face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, his face was dark and he couldn't tell. He coughed to cover it up, and replied, "Follow, but I'm on the roof, so I can't see it."

Now Amu blushed, last night he was drunk and crazily stayed at Gu Clinic, Ji Yi only said that he couldn't see it, so he should have heard everything, he is such a big man, so it's embarrassing.Amu shook his head, his ears were also red, and he asked Lin Yi again: "But you follow me every day, how do you eat and rest?" What he meant was that you can't eat or rest after following him, so don't follow me .

But Lin Yi heard something else. It was the master who cared about him. He immediately softened his expression and said respectfully, "Your subordinates have their own way. Please rest assured, master. The safety of the master is everything to the subordinates."

Qian Sheng, who listened to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but burst into a low laugh, with his wrists resting on his chin, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and the wide sleeves swayed slightly like a stream of water, causing Amu to pull his sleeves: "Sleeves It’s so big, didn’t you put money in it?”

Qian Sheng let him touch it around, squinted his eyes and raised his chin, and touched Amu's hair with his hand, gently stroking the hair like stroking a cat.

Amu patted his hands away, this was combed by Gu Lin in the morning, and it was about to be messed up.

The restaurant failed to eat, so they simply found a roadside stall, and the owner was shouting, chopped green onion noodles, chopped green onion noodles, tough noodles, one bowl will fill your stomach.

They ordered three bowls, and slurped up the noodles with the light but scallion-flavored soup.

Amu ate happily, touched his belly, held up an empty bowl and shouted at the boss: "Uncle, I want another bowl!"

The boss looked at the empty bowl and smiled so that the gully appeared on his face, but he was not as ugly as Wang Dongping. Instead, the old gully rubbed the softness of the years, kind and cute, which made people feel comfortable. He took Amu's A bowl, another bowl for him, a little more noodles than just now, green green onion glistening in the sun, obviously simple noodles, but more attractive than the famous dish in the hotel just now .

Amu watched, smelled, and ate, and suddenly his eyes became sour.

He remembered the changes before and after Wang Dongping.

When he was an ordinary person, he didn't believe his words, and even laughed at him, talking to him like he was coaxing a child.

But when Qian Sheng told Wang Dongping that he was Master Lin's son, Wang Dongping knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing and apologizing, and didn't even dare to look at him.

The same person, just knew that he was Master Lin's son, and his attitude changed so much before and after. Although there were some threats from Lin Yi in it, Amu still found it difficult to accept.

If Qian Sheng hadn't revealed his identity, and if Lin Yi hadn't stood up, he would have been ridiculed until he left the restaurant.

And all of this is just because Amu wants to correct what Wang Dongping said wrong.

When Gu Lin was a victim hunted down by his enemies, when Gu Lin was the Third Highness.

When Qian Sheng was a beggar in a ruined temple, Qian Sheng was a teacher of a country.

Even with such a big change in status, Amu was only surprised at first. After that, Gu Lin was still his son, and Qian Sheng was still a bit annoying Qian Sheng. He never thought of changing his attitude, and he never thought of changing his attitude. thought about changing.

He raised the bowl and drank a large mouthful of oily and fragrant chopped green onion soup. The hot soup flowed through his mouth, beat his teeth and wrapped his tongue, and then rushed straight into his stomach, ironing all the way, making him breathe out comfortably. There are fine sweats all over.

Qian Sheng ate neither fast nor slow, five noodles and one chopstick, rolled up and put it in his mouth, maybe it was too hot, his lips were bright red, with a faint luster.

Amu was full, and made the situation clear just now, and then asked Qian Sheng: "Is identity important? Why is that person in the restaurant so afraid?"

Qian Sheng paused while eating the noodles, and after eating the noodles on the chopsticks, he said, "It can be said to be important, or it can be said to be unimportant. To you, it should be considered important."

Amu was puzzled, it was no different from not answering.

Qian Sheng took a sip of the soup, and there was fine sweat on his forehead. He propped his head up, gently lifted his face in the air, let the wind blow, and said, "Leaving aside the identities of parents, uncles, aunts, nephews, etc. , beggars, civilians, businessmen, officials and even the emperor, these are all identities, which are destined at birth, and most of them are bestowed by the family, you can have one identity for a lifetime, or you can have many."

"Civilian, compared with the commoner who started as a commoner and later became a merchant, which one is better? You can't say exactly, maybe the merchant has more money but no stability, and maybe the civilian life is more stable but more difficult. This That is, it can be said to be important, or it can be said to be unimportant.”

"The people in the restaurant are afraid of you because they later found out that you are the son of Master Lin. They will not be afraid of the son of a commoner, so they can laugh at you, and even turn right and wrong against you, but you belong to Master Lin." Of course they were afraid of you when they were sons, because you have the right to hurt them, and they need to protect themselves, so they naturally shut up, respect you, fear you and even stay away from you."

"You used to live in the mountains and forests, where the sky was high and the emperor was far away. You lived without worries, so naturally you didn't care about your identity. Now that you are by Gu Lin's side, you also know his identity. By his side, Master Lin's son is better than a commoner. Son, it's too important, this is why identity is more important to you."

What Qian Sheng said is very simple and easy to understand. In fact, this is a truth that everyone understands, but Amu doesn't know it, because the environment he lived in was too simple since he was a child. He knows the emperor, officials, and businessmen, but this is just a concept. , seeing Gu Linqian, in fact, he has never even seen a real official.

But who of the people here has really seen it? One person is afraid, two people are afraid, three people are afraid, everyone is afraid, and they don't know what they are afraid of. Even if the person they are afraid of has never hurt them, as long as they have it They should be afraid of harming their rights.

So Amu didn't understand at that time, but now he understands that the identity of Master Lin's son is the same existence as an official, which will make the people fear and respect, and Gu Lin needs such a powerful existence, because he is the prince, It is a more powerful identity.

Amu lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, Lin Yi crunched the table. In his ears, Qian Sheng's paragraph was full of bullshit. To put it simply, it was, "Gu Lin wants to use his status as Master Lin's son, so you should hurry up and use this." identity bar'.

His face was turning black into coal, but he couldn't refute it, because he also needed Amu to recognize his identity as soon as possible. Although it is not a problem to protect him secretly, there are still many places he can't go, and he needs to follow him. Really well protected.

Amu thought for a long time, seeing the scallions in the soup being blown around by the wind, his head was also dizzy, but he knew exactly what he wanted to ask: "Then what about the princess, is the status of the princess very important to the young master?" important?"

Qian Sheng had just put a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, and when he heard Amu's question, he glanced at him, the end of his eyes slightly hooked up, looking like an old fox, he sucked, chewed, and swallowed slowly, He drank another sip of soup, let out a breath, and when Amu was so anxious that he was sweating, he lazily said: "You are stupid and easy to understand. He is very cunning and cunning, so he can't figure it out."

Amu stared at him.

Qian Sheng waved his hands with a smile, and got close to Amu. He didn't know what method he used. The surrounding voices suddenly disappeared, and it was quiet, as if blocked by a barrier. He said: "The Northern Emperor wants to help him in Gu Country Emperor, as long as he marries the princess of the Northern Kingdom to be his queen."

Qian Sheng's voice is not as rough as a man should be, but is as clear as jade, and the slight vibration in his throat is as intoxicating as wine. Such a nice voice makes Amu feel as if he heard a thunder, and it exploded in his ear. His ears were buzzing and his mind was in a mess.

When Gu Lin moved away from his ears, the street noises that should have gradually returned, the barrier was gone, and Amu's heart seemed to be smashed into pieces, and it started to itch densely, making him wish he could punch him twice.

Lin Yi's face was solemn, his hand holding the knife was tight and tight, and he looked at Qian Sheng like a wolf full of hostility: "What did you say to the master?"

Qian Sheng just smiled, and the end of his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he hadn't washed the crimson runes from yesterday, and the color of his lower eyelids was an indescribable color, so red that it was eerie.

Seeing Amu's face, the owner of the noodle seller rushed up and asked, "Young master, what's the matter? It was fine just now. Why are you frowning now, but my noodles are too salty?" There were only three of them in total, so they naturally focused on the focus, and Amu's bright smile just now made the boss feel happy, so now he cares even more.

Amu shook his head, and showed the boss the bowl with only a little soup left: "No, it's delicious. This is the best noodle I've ever eaten."

The boss was very happy when he heard this. Seeing that Amu was still frowning, he said, "Young master, what's your trouble? I've lived for so long, old man, and I know a truth. No matter how delicious the noodles are, in the end, In my heart, the most delicious thing is this simple scallion noodles. What’s the matter? If you think about it, the simpler it is, the more you can think about it.

Amu nodded and thanked the boss.

When paying the money, Qian Sheng didn't move, it was Lin Yi who paid the money, a silver ingot, the boss's eyes were straightened, and he said that he couldn't find it, but this was the money with the smallest face value of Lin Yi, so he finally agreed to the boss In the future, they don't need money to eat noodles, so the boss let them go.

Only now did Amu know what Qian Sheng meant by 'someone pays'.

He rolled his eyes at Qian Sheng and muttered, "Stingy."

Lin Yi's face was sullen, he wanted to laugh but held back, it was very hard work.

Qian Sheng didn't care at all, it felt really comfortable to have empty sleeves and no money.

After eating enough food and drinking enough soup, although there are still troubles, it is still very comfortable. The cicadas sing like music, the sun is like tulle, and there is fine and dense sweat on the body, but it does not feel uncomfortable. The wind blows from the skin. Outdated, because it is cooler with sweat.

The three of them didn't speak, Amu walked on his own, Lin Yi followed suit, Qian Sheng moved up and down according to his temper, squinted his eyes and raised his chin lazily, causing many girls to look sideways and see him. After wearing the monk uniform, he sighed regretfully.

Time passed quickly, but they were still walking slowly, the street was joyous and noisy, Amu liked it very much, he was even a little dazed, because he didn't know what to do when he returned to the house.

In the mountains, he could hunt and climb trees. Later, he was busy taking care of Gu Lin, and he never came down. During the Zheng residence, he was also busy secretly bringing food to the children in the ruined temple. On the way to the Northland, he wanted to hunt for them. to eat, and then they finally arrived in the Northland.

He suddenly didn't know what to do.

Gu Lin no longer needs his care.

He also cannot climb trees to hunt.

He had only been awake for a few days, but he was already bored.

Thinking about the mess, before he knew it, he had already arrived at Huiyue Palace, Qian Sheng disappeared at some point, and behind him, only Lin Yi followed.

The sun quietly set, like a salted duck egg, the green leaves were dyed orange red, the tree shadows stretched long, overlapped and trembled, the wind blew his eyelashes, and they were itchy , Amu saw the person standing at the gate of the hall.

Gu Lin, and the princess from yesterday's banquet.

Today's distance is closer than yesterday's, but Amu feels that it is further away, as if Qian Sheng's barrier has moved here, making it impossible for him to take half a step.

The princess was still in the luxurious purple dress, her thick and soft black hair was slightly curly, hanging quietly behind her, and when the wind blew, the jade ring on her body was tinkling like a gentle stream.

Amu lowered his gaze, not daring to look. Only when his gaze fell on his own shadow did he feel the trembling in his heart. He saw his black shadow sticking to the ground, divided by long steps, stretching in zigzags. Because they lowered their heads, the shoulders of the people in the shadows slumped, their heads were downcast, and the shadows of the trees fell on them like gray fog, and when the wind blew, they would melt into fine grains and dissipate in the wind.

He lowered his head and didn't move for a long time before Ji Dong called him worriedly: "Master?"

It was too late for Amu to cover his mouth, he hurriedly raised his head to look at the two people on the steps, and met Gu Lin's eyes.

He avoided it in a panic, and met the curious gaze of the princess again.

When he heard the princess meeting Gu Lin for a drink, her voice was clear but soft and slender, like his aunt, she should be a gentle person.

The emperor of the Northern Kingdom will help Gu Lin become the emperor, as long as Gu Lin marries the princess as the queen, the robe he saw at Gu Clinic that night should be a dragon robe.

The yellow brocade robe has crimson red wide sleeves, square heart and curved collar, and is embroidered with a five-clawed dragon with an open mouth.

So obvious, almost the same as that of the Northern Emperor.So obvious, but he only remembered now.

Even the dragon robes were sent, did Gu Lin already agree?

But it should be normal to agree.

Gu Lin doesn't have to suffer anymore, he can get the throne without having to go to war with the second prince, why would he give up such an opportunity.

But Amu was very strange, as long as he thought that such a beautiful and graceful princess would be Gu Lin's wife, he would feel as if someone scalded his chest with a piece of boiling iron, pierced through the skin and pierced his flesh, and stuck to it , The iron block that had begun to condense melted into various shapes like dripping wax, and the pain made him want to grab it out with his bare hands.

He endured so much that his face turned red.

Gu Lin on the steps called him softly: "Amu." The voice was a little hoarse, very soft, and it was almost inaudible in the wind.

Amu nodded, but he was not ready to go up. His feet seemed to be frozen, and they were about to shatter when lifted up. He could only walk to the side, preparing to go back to his room.

When Gu Lin yelled again, Amu pretended not to hear him.

After that, Gu Lin's voice was not heard again.Amu pursed her lips, feeling empty in her heart.

The princess didn't pay attention to the situation here, thinking that Gu Lin had agreed, her slender and beautiful hand had already been raised, as if she was waiting for Gu Lin to hold her.

But Gu Lin moved, the wind at dusk was still slightly damp, blowing the corners of Gu Lin's robe, making it rattling.

He took a step, over the princess's hand.

Take another step, passing the princess' surprised eyes.

When walking down the steps, his black shadow was divided into twists and turns, but the layers were distinct, and he firmly walked down step by step close to his heels.

Almost with a slightly eager wind, his robe was blown up, and it flew with the wind along the direction of the leaves. The jet-black hair carried the gradually falling sunlight, almost floating with a crystal light.

It was so beautiful that Amu couldn't close his eyes.

The sound came from the ring on the princess's body ding-dong, urgent and short, jingle ding ding ding ding ding, I don't know if it was upset or unbearable embarrassment or anger that made the beautiful voice so chaotic.

Amu looked at Gu Lin who was right in front of him, his heart was pounding so hard that it almost popped out of his throat, the sound of heartbeat almost made his ears fail, buzzing.

"Where are you going?" Gu Lin leaned closer to Amu's ear, his voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it, with a gravel-like hoarseness.

"I'm calling you, you can hear me."

The clouds in the sky were dyed red by the sun, and Amu's ears were dyed red by himself.He nodded obediently.

"I said a lot today, but I couldn't make out my voice, so I thought you didn't hear it." Gu Lin said with a faint smile on his lips.

Amu hurriedly raised his hand and touched his neck: "I heard, does your throat hurt? I'll go and pour you some water."

Gu Lin pulled his hand down and rubbed it gently on his fingertips. The light in his eyes was as gentle as a stream. He looked at Amu, observed his expression carefully, and asked after a while: "Go out today, Qian Sheng What did I tell you?"

Amu's eyes dimmed all of a sudden, he didn't hide anything, but he couldn't say everything, he only said a few words: "Identity, princess, throne."

Three words are enough to explain, Gu Lin can understand.

But he laughed, hugged Amu, stroked his hair, and said in a low voice, "Amu."

Amu responded.

"What did you misunderstand?" Seeing that he agreed, Gu Lin kissed his forehead and said in a low voice, "Do you have to forget what I told you? I said that I would regain that position in my own way." .”

Amu was stunned and looked up at him.

"I don't like that princess, or the conditions put forward by the Northern Emperor. Seeing your expression just now, I know you don't like it either. I'm very happy."

Amu's face turned red all of a sudden, he hesitated and pulled Gu Lin's sleeve, not knowing what to say.

"Why is my body so hot?" Gu Lin whispered next to his ear, the slightly hot breath blowing the thin hair on his ear, making him shrink back from itching.

It's not that I don't need it, but I don't like it.

The status of a princess is of course important and necessary, but if Gu Lin doesn't like it, he doesn't want it.

Amu's heart was pounding, and the hot air in his chest hit his throat, making him speechless.He has known Gu Lin for so long, he knows that he is stubborn, but he does not know that he is so casual, no, it is self-confidence, as long as he agrees to the conditions of the Northern Emperor, he can easily do what he wants to do, but he used If he didn't like it, he pushed it away, as if he could easily do it without the help of the Northern Emperor.
