I see the snow

Qin Yi is like a child who has been obedient for more than ten years. Once he rebels, he will completely break with all the three constants and five principles that have bound him in the past.

"Gu was taught from an early age what to do and what not to do."

During the rest along the way, Qin Yi sat on the grass, twirling a dead branch, and said in a low voice.

"Gu is the direct prince. Yu Li, he should set an example for all the princes; Yu Qing, Gu has no mother to protect him. If he wants to win the favor of his father and keep the position of the prince, he can only fight for it by himself."

These are all known by the close officials who are familiar with Qin Yi.

The entourage who accompanied Qin Yi this time was named Chang Mo, who had been with Qin Yi since he was a teenager.When everyone prevented Qin Yi from leaving Chifeng Pass, he was the only one who followed silently.

"But what did Gu get?"

Qin Yi asked: "What you get alone is the loss of your loved one forever. The mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, lonely and widowed. If you close your eyes in the middle of the night, you will be haunted by nightmares."

Chang Mo silently passed grass branches to Qin Yi, and Qin Yi weaved them up after taking them.

"For the sake of these gangsters, missing Mu Ziling is the stupidest thing I've ever done."

Qin Yi said: "Gu will not go wrong anymore. The so-called king through the ages, calms the troubled times, but why must it be Gu? I am tired. Liang Cheng has so many clan children, and there is always someone who can't wait to take over."

"...but the king is a good king."

Chang Mo lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's the good fortune of the people of Liang Cheng to have a king like Wang Shang."

"Oh."

Qin Yi smiled lightly: "Is that so? But it is difficult for a person to be a good king, a good father, a good husband, and a good lover; if he wants to be a good lover, a good husband, and a good father, he cannot be a good father after all." A good king."

Chang Mo looked at him silently.

"You said that Gu has worked so hard and thought hard all these years, what is it for?"

Qin Yi said in a low voice: "There are always moments in life when you suddenly feel that the things you were struggling to pursue before are meaningless."

He wove another grasshopper in his hand, and Qin Yi put it in the brocade bag in his heart, and put it together with the ones weaved along the road before, there were already several of them.

"Does it look good?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "When it's time, I'll give these to him."

Chang Mo said, "It's pretty."

But looking at Qin Yi's appearance, a complicated feeling rose in his heart.

He remembered Qin Yi when he was still the first prince of the stars, at that time Qin Yi had hobbies that all young men would like.

He likes catching crickets, watching puppet shows, and collecting architectural wooden models from all over the Midland.

But then the homework became more and more tight, and Qin Yi never touched those things after being randomly checked and endorsed by the master several times and failed to memorize them well.

He always knew what he wanted, and he was willing to give up a lot for that goal.

... This kind of Qin Yi actually looks a lot like Mu Ziling.

They are all people who live on thin ice.

In order to get what he pursues, he is ruthless and decisive.

One is in the deep palace, accompanied day and night by open swords and dark arrows that kill people without blood; the other stumbles and walks on dangerous roads in order to survive.

Perhaps it was because they were all the same kind of people that they met each other for the first time in Jiangzhou back then.

In addition to Chang Mo, Qin Yi also brought out a small team.

He made a deal with Wang Weiliang. If Qin Yi can find Mu Ziling smoothly, and Wang Weiliang seeks rebellion in the future, Qin Yi will use Liang Cheng's strength to help him.There has never been an eternal enemy in this world, only eternal interests.

Qin Yi walked and watched on the road, and saw all the interesting things collected and bought.

"Will he like this?"

Qin Yi rode on a horse and waded across the stream. Seeing the colorful pebbles washing in the sparkling stream, he dismounted and picked up a few, wiped them clean and put them in his arms.

Seeing wild flowers with strange shapes on the side of the road, he also raised his head and reached out to pluck off a branch, and put it in the basket beside the horse.

The entourages all felt a little at a loss when they looked at their own king, who seemed to see the moonlight through the clouds and mists, and the withered vines and old trees in the new year.

"Gu wants to take him to travel around the mainland."

Qin Yi said: "In the future, Gu will follow him and stay with him. He can do whatever he wants. As long as he doesn't kill innocent people, even if he wants a blood sacrifice, just let him bite him casually."

While he was talking, he was covering the seven-spotted ladybug that was only parked on the tree trunk.

It was buckled with a small porcelain jar, and the lid was carefully closed.When shaking the small porcelain pot gently, you can still hear the sound of the insects flapping their wings gently.

They were walking through the forest at this time, and the sparse sunlight fell on Qin Yi.

Qin Yi had a smile on his face, showing an unusually brisk and relaxed demeanor, as if what awaited him in the future was all beauty and joy.

"Chang Mo, I just want to send all the good things in this world to him."

He said.

... At that time, Qin Yi still only thought that Mu Ziling simply "run away with anger".

He calculated that it would only take four or five days to catch up with Mu Ziling.And as long as he catches up with him and repays him, there will always be a chance to repay the debts he once owed one by one.

...However, Qin Yi didn't know that the "five days later" he was looking forward to would never come.

They are like two star trails that always keep a certain distance, always missing each other.

This is the seventh day of No. 16 days.

Qin Yi also walked out of Chifeng Pass, and Mu Ziling had just left the close city.

From time to time, Wang Weiliang's spies would attach Mu Ziling's portraits at individual moments to the traces of Mu Ziling they sent back.

For example, the appearance of him hanging his head and lowering his eyes outside the temple; the side profile of him stroking the bricks beside the ancient city wall and looking up; he walked side by side with his companions, showing a soft smile from time to time.

Qin Yi looked at each of them again and again, almost rubbing the rough edges in his hands.

... This is Mu Ziling who is alive and still in the world, not Mu Ziling who is alive but does not see people or dies.

The moment he was sure that Mu Ziling was still alive, Qin Yi felt grateful to all the gods and Buddhas in this world.

"...Who is this?"

However, after seeing more pictures, Qin Yi gradually noticed something strange in them.

In every portrait, there is a young man near or far beside Mu Ziling.

His face can't be seen clearly in the portrait centered on Mu Ziling, but overall he can be seen to be somewhat handsome.

Sometimes Mu Ziling looked at him, and sometimes he just looked at Mu Ziling unilaterally.

But no matter what it is, every time this young man is around, Mu Ziling's expression will soften a little.

"It's a new friend."

Qin Yi murmured: "...It's a good thing to make friends and walk with you after going out for a few days."

He forced a smile, trying to pretend he didn't care.

But Chang Mo clearly saw that he always took out the portrait to look at it again and again when he was resting afterwards.

"Such low-quality windmills are also distributed to orphaned Fenghuang children."

Qin Yi sneered and said: "Lonely things, one person can buy ten."

"What is this."

Open the second one: "Heh, it's a stuff for the common people. Where can there be lonely steamed lotus leaves and lotus seeds that are fragrant and sweet. Even the most inferior tiger's eye socket silk candy in our Liang Cheng Palace can't compare."

His Majesty the King of Liang went through all the pictures in a proud attitude of reviewing the memorial, and made comments one by one, feeling very disdainful.

The heart is full of disdain for winning.

Chang Mo watched him put the scroll away and put it under his head—ready to sleep.

However, after tossing and turning for a while, he sat up again.

It's probably because it's hard to calm down in the end.

"Long Mo."

Qin Yi called him: "Look, isn't this stone sculpture extremely ugly?"

Chang Mo walked to Qin Yi's side and looked at a place on the scroll that he was pointing at.

It is probably a small stone figure bought from a Buddhist temple. According to folk customs, it can be kept at home to avoid moisture and rain.

The little stone man held a big green leaf, closed his eyes, pouted and tilted his head, looking innocent and cute.

The young businessman was holding it, and was sending it to Mu Ziling with crooked eyes.

But Mu Ziling clearly seemed to be very interested in this gadget, and stretched out his fingers to touch it—probably this was the real cause of Qin Yi's dissatisfaction.

Chang Mo remained silent, struggling a little between "going against his conscience and flattering Qin Yi" and "telling the truth but not deceiving the emperor".

After a long silence, Qin Yi probably had some kind of vague premonition.Holding all kinds of grasshoppers, grasshoppers, grasshoppers, and frogs that he made up along the way, he said to himself:

"The one Gu made is much prettier than his stuff."

Your Majesty has already made a judgmental evaluation, what else can Chang Mo say.

I can only bite the bullet and answer: "Yes."

Qin Yi put away the scroll, stopped talking to him, and lay down again.

Chang Mo didn't dare to stay for long, and left respectfully backwards.

However, after walking far enough, he turned his head again and looked at Qin Yi who was bathed in the moonlight.

Qin Yi was not asleep yet, and turned on his side.

Chang Mo could only see his back.

On the other side, Qin Yi held the grass crafts in his brocade bag in his hand, opened his eyes in a daze, and turned them over and over again for a long time.

He felt happy all the way and looked forward to seeing Mu Ziling again.

But until today, Qin Yi suddenly became timid.

His heart was full of uncertainty, and he even thought, would Mu Ziling really like these little gadgets he wove out of straw?

More than the stone man who liked the young merchant?

Will he throw away the stone man for these things of his own?

Qin Yi looked at the flowers, bugs, stones and dead branches he had collected along the way, and reached out to touch them.

In the night, his figure looked a little indescribably lonely.
