I see the snow

"What about you?"

Shen Yan asked.

His eyes turned to Yinzhichuan, in fact, since he came in just now, Yinzhichuan hadn't taken the initiative to intervene.

Shen Yan looked at his silver-white soft armor, as if he was completely out of it, and asked:

"Why are you also in Qiushui Pavilion?"

Yin Zhichuan said: "I took my little things out for a stroll, and just happened to meet Master Lin."

"Without him."

He said: "After a few days of idleness, my hands are itchy, I just find someone to beat me up for fun."

Zhu Shifeng: "..."

The servants in the palace rushed to meet him, pinched Zhu Shifeng's breath, and said anxiously: "Master Zhu, Master Zhu, wake up, don't get angry!!"

Yin Zhichuan stood aside, staring coldly at this farce-like scene, for some reason, suddenly felt very tired in his heart.

He walked to the door on his own, leaning against the door frame, no longer looking at the personnel affairs in the hall, but just looking at an ancient maple tree in the courtyard with a piece of dry grass in his mouth.

The Jinghua Palace is constantly lit all year round, even in the middle of the night, you can still see the tall and bright lanterns in the distance of the palace.

The courtyard is not too dark, but it is far less bright than the palace, only some stone tables and chairs and the outlines of trees can be seen dimly.

Yinzhichuan crossed his arms, at this moment he thought of Xihuai.

That young lady who always looked calm and submissive, but was actually far away from him.

I think he said to himself: "...you will go crazy sooner or later if you continue like this."

In fact, why didn't he know it himself?

Yin Zhichuan thought silently in his heart: ...his dissatisfaction with this country has already reached its peak.

Those people and things in the palace who were constantly arguing were in a mess.

Those in power are trying their best to maintain their rule, speculators are trying their best to make money, those who work hard are not rewarded, and those who are shrouded in horse leather shed blood and tears. This world is completely chaotic.

But he can't do anything, because he is the heir of the banker of the Zhenguo government.

He was born to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, no matter what the country looks like, he cannot deny it.

Yinzhichuan exhaled indifferently.

"Yinzhi River!"

In a daze, there was an angry shout from behind.

Yin Zhichuan turned around nonchalantly, and looked up at Shen Yan in a long way, the young emperor's brows and eyes were faintly blue with anger.

Yin Zhichuan casually asked: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"You are presumptuous!"

Shen Yan said: "On the main hall, in front of the monarch, this is your attitude as a minister!? Do you still have a little bit of the principles of the monarch and ministers in your heart?"

Yin Zhichuan looked at him flatly, and asked: "Your minister?"

He sighed very lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, your subjects are suffering, and the fiery world is tormenting them, have you seen it?"

The atmosphere in the hall froze, almost falling to the critical line, and it was so suffocating that people could not breathe.

A silent air current flowed between the two of them, and the eyes of the king and the young general were like swords.

"Master Lin...Master Zhu." In the corner, an unknown person said softly: "Please avoid for a while, and come in later after sending an order."

"Sure enough, you still can't let go of the matter of Cang Languan."

A long time, Shen Yan said.

"No one can let go of the things written into memory with the blood of their father and brother."

Yin Zhichuan answered.

"Then what exactly do you want?"

"Didn't Your Majesty want to know why you went to Qiushui Pavilion?"

Yin Zhichuan didn't answer the question, but smiled lightly, and said, "Because there is a girl my fourth brother loves, who is going to marry someone else."

Shen Yan didn't move his eyes and didn't say a word, Yin Zhichuan sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, you may never feel this kind of feeling in your life...the one you love, you want to be with someone else."

"Perhaps when she put on a hijab and walked into someone's house with a bright red happy flower in her arms, my elder brother was waiting outside Canglan Pass to be picked up."

"I said so."

Shen Yan said: "If there is a chance, I will definitely avenge the government of Zhen Guo...but now is not the time!"

"What are glazed arrows?"

However, suddenly, Yin Zhichuan asked without warning.

Shen Yan was stunned.

This is a name brought by Ji Wuhen from Canglan, and it is one of the clues he found about "the truth about Duke Zhen's retreat without a fight".

Ji Wuhen said that this was the weapon sent by the imperial court to Yin Zhichuan's father when he set out on the expedition.But when Lord Zhen Guo opened the iron box and saw the contents inside, he suddenly announced to abandon the city and retreat.

Yinzhichuan had thought countless times about what it was, what kind of arrow could have such magical power, and made a seasoned veteran do such a humiliating thing as throwing away his city and armor.

But no matter how Yin Zhichuan inquired later, there was no clue.

"What are glazed arrows?"

The throat of the silver-robed major general rolled slightly, he stared straight at the monarch in the hall, and asked again.

"..."

Shen Yan fell silent.

He frowned, and repeated in a low voice: "...Liu Lijian?"

"Yes."

Yin Zhichuan said: "Didn't Your Majesty say that the desire to avenge my grievances for the Duke of Zhenguo is true, and only wait for the right time?... Then, to show sincerity, please Your Majesty at least give me some useful information first?"

"—What exactly is the 'Glass Arrow' that the late Emperor gave my father to bring to the front?"

In the hall, only two people looked at each other, and silence flowed between them.

Every time the eyes meet, it's like the clash of swords.

……

"Time for a cup of tea."

Outside the palace, the eunuch with an aging face brought Lin Kun to a secluded courtyard and whispered.

Lin Kun calmly bowed to the old prisoner as a thank you:

"It's work."

The old supervisor hurriedly waved his hands, the wrinkles on Bai Pang's face stretched out, showing a flattering smile, and said in one voice:

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, our family is in the palace, thanks to Li Dutong's care..."

Lin Kun smiled without saying a word, and only smiled slightly, but the old eunuch quickly understood the meaning and realized that he was inconvenient to disturb, so he retreated immediately after paying his respects.

After a while, the courtyard was still quiet, only the lonely shadow of a dead tree was drawing sparsely on the ground.

The brilliance of the bright moon streamed down, spreading vividly on Lin Kun's dark green official robe.

"Guck."

But suddenly, a low and hoarse cuckoo call came from behind the courtyard door.

Lin Kun was startled and turned around.

"Guji-"

There was another sound, but it was much louder than before, like a smile that a person can't help but want to attract the other party's attention.

Lin Kun looked at the empty yard and said softly:

"This time, I only need a cup of tea. If no one comes, I will leave."

"Hey--"

Immediately, a figure in armor finally walked out from behind the tall courtyard door that had been half closed.He stretched out his hand, stopped Lin Kun, turned his head, his bright star-like eyes were full of smiles, and said in a low voice: "The willow on the moon, after dusk. Let me see, whose family is it?" The young master is waiting for his lover here?"

"Bamboo shoots stuffed with roses, sophora biscuits, beef bone crisps..."

On the railing of the courtyard, the young leaders wearing the heavy cloaks of the Habayashi Army put out small oil bags and bottles one by one.

Lin Kun watched Li Sinian take these things out of the cloak one by one, and his usually calm and reserved face couldn't help but twitch slightly:

"Can the cloaks of your imperial guards hold so many things?" [*Note 1]

The handsome and heroic guard with the knife nodded and said, "Yes. It's only so useful."

After thinking about it, he added another sentence, and said softly: "I brought it for you on a special trip."

Different from ordinary imperial guards, this young man is not wearing a scarlet cloak, but a pure black and extremely thick cloak. The official robe under the cloak is lynx pattern, and there are sharp and cold thin blades hanging from his waist Thin knife.

——This is the costume of the leader of the Habayashi Army who commanded the 26 guards of the Imperial Palace, and the general who commanded the Imperial Palace.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Sinian's gentle and heavy eyes wandered up and down Lin Kun's body. Like a wanderer reunited with his hometown after a long absence, he looked at the person in front of him earnestly and with nostalgia. After looking at him for a long time, he said hoarsely, "Pillow Wind, I miss you so much."

Lin Kun sighed softly, looked at Li Sinian's rough armored palms that lingered repeatedly on his waist, did not brush them away after all, and said in a low voice:

"I'm sorry...I've been really busy lately."

There is a kind of person in this world who doesn't need any explanation to each other, as long as you are you and stand there, he will believe you and forgive you unconditionally.

Lin Kun and Li Sinian, who grew up as childhood sweethearts, are probably like this.

"It's all newly made from Bazhaifang."

Li Sinian said: "As soon as I bought it, I put it in my cloak, and tasted it to see if it was cold."

Lin Kun hesitated a little, and asked: "You come here... the Habayashi Army's patrol side, will there be no accidents?"

There was a smile on the corner of Li Sinian's lips: "It's okay. I've made all the arrangements."

Lin Kun let out a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to untie the oil bag that still contained the heat from Li Sinian's cloak.

"The stuffed bamboo shoots are slightly sour, and the Sophora biscuits only put some sugar. The beef bone crisps are all cut up, so it's very convenient to eat..."

Li Sinian looked at the action of the person in front of him, his eyes were full of pity, and he said, "Did you not have dinner again...? I heard that you are going to enter the palace, and I happened to be on duty tonight, so I immediately asked someone to buy it. Fortunately Can catch up."

Li Sinian and Lin Kun grew up together, and they laughed and played together when they were still wearing their horns and learning to read and write clumsily.Li Sinian has always been very familiar with Lin Kun's taste preferences.

"It's ok."

Lin Kun said, "I had some tea at Qiushui Pavilion."

"Drinking tea is not worth eating after all."

Li Sinian sighed softly: "Your stomach is not good...why don't you eat well?"

"Sometimes it's too busy. Just forget."

Lin Kun smiled slightly.

He unpacked the oil packets that Li Sinian brought, revealing the thin white wrist of the dark green official robe, which was almost too thin to hold.

Seeing this, Li Sinian felt that he was much more lonely than the last time we met.

"Such things," Lin Kun gently sniffed the scent of those snacks, and said with a smile, "Where do you hide in the cloak every time?"

"Hide some here, hide some there, just hide..."

Li Sinian said in a low voice.His voice sounded a little absent-minded, and his eyes only followed Lin Kun, watching Lin Kun swallow.After looking at it for a while, he finally said: "Zhoufeng...you are at Yushitai, are you tired?"

tired.

Lin Kun paused, thinking in his heart, how could he not be tired?Before he entered Yushi Terrace, it was completely Mo Bihuan's room.

He punishes whomever he wants, he punishes whomever he wants, he praises whomever he wants, completely unscrupulous.

Often, the grievances from below have not been conveyed to the emperor's ears, but they have been cut off halfway by the people from Yushitai and the cabinet.

Lin Kun couldn't see it, so he decided to enter Yushitai by himself.But I didn't expect that after entering the court, he would become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of all the nobles.

The wine bag and rice bag took him as a living target, Lin Kun was often busy day and night, and he was the only one working on the whole Yushitai.Too busy to even eat.

The opportunities to meet Li Sinian are also becoming less and less.

"Let me see if I've lost weight again."

He probably guessed the answer in his heart. Seeing that Lin Kun didn't answer, Li Sinian sighed, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Lin Kundun's wrist in the air.

He pulled Lin Kun towards him, kissed Lin Kun's forehead very lightly, and touched the cold forehead with his soft lips: "What do you want to do, pillow wind, of course I will never interfere of."

"But... I still love you very much in my heart."

[*Note 1]: The Habayashi Army's cloak is very large, enough to hold a lot of things. "Phantom Record".
