I see the snow

Qin Yi is the prince of Liang Cheng who grew up taught by the orthodox emperor art.

What he learned from the Taifu since he was a child is "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it", "listening to both will make you bright, partial faith will make you dark", "a king needs to love the people like a son" and other ways of governing the country.

He has learned well and has stricter demands on himself.

Contrary to what ordinary people think, Liang Cheng has not always been a powerful country in Central China. In the generation of Qin Yi's father, Liang Cheng was even the one who seemed inconspicuous among the vassal states.

His father was lustful and fatuous, and even because of his licentiousness, he couldn't even protect his first wife.

As the mother of a country, Qin Yi's queen mother was dignified and elegant, but because she was not good at fighting for favor, she was poisoned and killed in Qifeng Palace without knowing who did it.

At that time, Qin Yi was still young, had no real power or backing, and had nowhere to turn for help.He failed to find out the murderer until he succeeded to the throne.

It's been too many years, the former king didn't ask, and now it's impossible to find out.

But from that moment on, Qin Yi silently swore to himself:

He will be a completely different person from his father.

Be wise and accept advice, be diligent in political affairs, be a good king, and love only one person in your life.

And pampered that person in the palm of his hand, not letting him bear any wind or rain.

Liang Cheng, indeed in the hands of Qin Yi, began to rise continuously among the vassal states, showing his edge.

Saying "Even if the nobles of Yunyan are willing to give up their status and come to Liangcheng to be a commoner", Qin Yi doesn't want to—

There is really nothing boastful about this statement.

"The lonely king appreciates Huai'an, so he protects his people for him."

Qin Yi said: "Otherwise, it would be good to leave you to Mu Ziling to kill and abuse at will, why bother with your life...!"

In the lobby, there was silence, Qin Yi closed his eyes, and thought again of the green lotus leaves stretching across the sky that he had seen in Jiangzhou.

"Gu will never forget Huai'an, he is the only beloved person in this life of Gu Wang."

Qin Yi spoke word by word.

He seemed to be reminding himself that whenever he gets along with Mu Ziling and sees his shocking appearance, Qin Yi will recall his first meeting with Mu Huai'an like a warning to himself.

The spring flowers that were in full bloom, the wet child that was fished out of the water, he stared blankly at Qin Yi's eyes, and then smiled——

Qin Yi will never forget.

At that moment, he understood the meaning of "love at first sight".

It was this first encounter, which was as hazy as an old dream, that supported Qin Yi through the bloody youth.

He stumbled and rolled, and whenever he felt that he was going to be unable to resist the cold arrows, he would think of the boy in the soft snow suit with the black hair tied with the red string.

He swore that since he was 15 years old, he would love this young man as much as his life for the rest of his life.

Cannot be violated.

……

The night was cold and windy, about ten miles away from Liang Cheng, a robbery was taking place.

"Hand over all the money!"

A big man said viciously: "You spend money to buy your life, don't play tricks!"

He slapped the broad knife on the wooden case of the shopkeeper, while another companion searched for all kinds of valuables in the inn.

"Just like that?"

Glancing at the silver taels in the cloth pocket, the big man frowned, and slapped the case of the cabinet with a "bang bang" sound.

They were all strong and strong men, and they were terrible when they got angry. The shopkeeper and the waiter all knelt at their feet, kowtowing in fear and begging for mercy:

"Heroes, that's all, there is really nothing left, let us go..."

"That's too little."

The leader shook his head, dissatisfied: "It's not enough for us to make a trip."

"Excuse me……"

While he was worrying, there was a clear and cold voice from outside the door.

Mu Ziling stood in front of the door, and asked indifferently but politely: "Is your store top-notch?"

He was wearing a snow-white shirt, and around his waist was a suet jade that could be seen to be priceless at a glance. A'Zhu got into his arms because he was afraid of the cold.

Although it was extremely low-key attire, the group of robbers immediately smelled "very worth grabbing" from Mu Ziling's temperament and clothing.

"Tip?"

The strong man grinned and leaned towards Mu Ziling, while the rest of his companions surrounded him invisibly from all directions.

"I didn't hit the top, but robbery made you meet!"

They shouted viciously, and spread their hands at Mu Ziling: "Hand over all the money!"

Mu Ziling looked down at the rough palm stretched out in front of him, but he didn't get angry yet, but smiled with a seemingly good temper:

"I do not have money."

"No money?"

The big man pushed and shoved Mu Ziling, poking his fingers on his snow-white clothes.

When Mu Ziling wasn't killing people, he looked delicate and pale, like some sick and noble son.It seems to be very bullying and talkative, which is extremely confusing.

At this moment, he looked down at the black fingerprints that were immediately stained on his clothes, and smiled calmly.

"I do not have money."

He said.

Then Mu Ziling looked up at the big man standing in front of him, forcing him to be the nearest, and said softly, "This is bad news for you."

The big man thought, he has no money, and he can't grab it by himself, which is naturally bad news.

But the way he spoke, there was always something weird about it.

"you……"

The robber opened his mouth, but before he could speak, his throat suddenly felt tight——

I saw Mu Ziling holding his left hand and slowly lifting it from his side, while the big man seemed to be hanging by something, whimpering and struggling to keep rising until his toes left the ground——

"I don't have any money, so I need to get some from you."

The corners of Mu Ziling's lips curled up slowly, revealing a treacherous and cruel smile: "Where is the silver, in your cloth bag?"

Mu Ziling's eyes shifted to a cloth bag tightly held by the strong man's right hand, and when he twisted it again, the robber groaned in pain, bared his teeth, but still refused to let go.

"Spend money to buy your life, don't play tricks."

Mu Ziling said, "Isn't that what you told the shopkeeper just now? Why did you forget it in a blink of an eye?"

The robber yelled in pain and ordered his companions to act like Mu Ziling.

The companion flinched at first, but seeing that the bandit leader was about to die, he couldn't care less——

However, in an instant, they hardly saw what appeared, and they felt as if they were bitten by some beast, and the bandit leader screamed loudly——

Only a "click" sound was heard, and a severed limb fell to the ground.

The detached fingers were still tightly grasping the money bag, but the money bag was slowly wetted by the blood that flowed out.

"The body is clumsy, not suitable for lowering the head."

Mu Ziling looked at the gangster who was rolling and screaming on the ground with disgust, and told something in the air: "Eat."

In an instant, several big men were caught by something invisible, and they happily dragged them out of the door. There was a "cracking" sound of bones being crushed in the yard.

And howls from prosperity to decline.

"Store, hit the tip."

After such a killing, Mu Ziling's clothes were still white and clean.

He bypassed the pool of blood and severed limbs on the ground, and walked towards the shopkeeper.

Both the shopkeeper and Xiao'er were frightened by the accident. Seeing Mu Ziling coming with a cloth bag, they immediately thought that he was going to return the robbed silver to themselves.He couldn't help trembling and said:

"Thank you benefactor, thank you young hero..."

However, Mu Ziling only put a few ingots of broken silver on the counter, and said softly:

"I want an upper room."

A scarlet snake's head protruded from his arms, and then, the brightly colored snake wrapped around his shoulders and wrapped around Mu Ziling's neck.

He carried the dirty and blood-stained cloth bag up the stairs, but the dark white pieces of silver left on the counter were still faintly stained with blood.

……

"It has arrived at Fengyan Spring, and it will enter Shengyang tomorrow."

The carrier pigeons that flew from Liangcheng's palace stopped in front of Mu Ziling's window.

Mu Ziling read the letter from Qin Yi in silence, took a pen and wrote back a few numbers, and stuffed them back into the small box next to the pigeon's claw.

The pigeon flew out of the window "swirling" quickly. Outside the window, there were a few dead branches and a large area of ​​brown and naked mountain ridges.

This is the boundary between Liang Cheng and Sheng Yang. If you go forward, you will find Chifeng Pass where there is only yellow sand all over the sky.

Mu Ziling looked down at the note from Qin Yi on the table, because the paper was curled up after being rolled up for a long time.

Mu Ziling found a paperweight to hold it down.

He lightly stroked the handwriting on the note with his fingers, every stroke of Qin Yi was sharp and sharp, very majestic.

Unlike Mu Ziling, Mu Ziling learned to read too late, let alone practiced calligraphy.

It would be nice to be able to write lowercase neatly and beautifully.

He picked it up from his mother's belongings, and only copied it along with the copybook. After a long time, Mu Ziling realized that Xiaokai was usually practiced by his daughter's family.

Too beautiful.

Mu Ziling looked at it for a while, then folded the note, put it in a small brocade bag, and put it together with other pieces of paper.

There are still some scattered handwriting there, I don't know when they were put in, and they are all yellowed.

Mu Ziling placed A'Zhu on the head of the bed, then closed his clothes and fell asleep.

This is his last night in Liang Chengsu, and he will sneak into Shengyang the next day.

In his hazy consciousness, Mu Ziling saw the dim candle that was still burning, and fell asleep peacefully.

He has always disliked sleeping with a lamp on, because it is too dark and he will have messy dreams.
