Sparrow dream dance

The next day, early in the morning.

Su Li changed into a gray attendant uniform, tied three thousand black silk into a man's bun, Murong Yan also mixed some mud to paint her bright face yellow.

"You know how to change your appearance?" Su Li held her breath and endured Murong Yan's smearing of yellow mud on her face.

"I learned a little from my cousin." Murong Yan stared at her and said calmly.

Su Li was silent for a while, then said abruptly, "Hey, you told me last time, your... that secret, only three people in this world know about it, right?"

Murong Yan didn't expect Su Li to mention this matter suddenly, the movements of her hands froze slightly, but she still nodded and replied, "That's right."

"I remember you said that one is your wet nurse, one is your cousin, and the other...is your childhood sweetheart, right?" Su Li asked tentatively.

Murongyan's eyebrows moved unconsciously, and after a long while, with a hint of hoarseness in her throat, she replied, "Yes. Why are you asking this?"

"I just want to know, who are these three people?" Su Li met Murongyan's shallow eyes and asked softly.

"Miss Su, you have too many questions."

Murong Yan stopped what she was doing, straightened her waist, and said coldly, "I would like to advise you, if you really want to go hunting with me, you should be careful in your words and actions, and put more thoughts on not letting the Holy One or others It is more appropriate to recognize you, otherwise, once the slightest flaw is revealed, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect you."

Su Li was taken aback. She obviously didn't expect Murong Yan to be so sensitive and shy about the question she asked. Suddenly, there were countless unknown flames in her heart. It seemed that the closer she got to the person in front of her, the more she couldn't figure it out. through her.

It seems that compared with the secrets of her body, what really suppresses her is the secrets in her heart.

Su Li silently lowered her eyes, followed Murong Yan into the carriage without saying a word, and headed for the city gate of Yanjing.

Dayan has always had a strong martial arts style, almost since Emperor Yan Liewu, a three-day hunt will be held at this time of the year, and this is also a stage for newcomers in the court and noble youngsters to compete to show themselves.After a hunt, the most lucrative hunt will be rewarded by the king, and he will be awarded the title himself, which is a moment of glory.It was fine in previous years, but this year it may be because the current Emperor Yan Jing brought the female family members of the royal family to the hunting grounds, so from the noble princes to the ordinary guards and soldiers, they were all secretly gearing up, and it was hard to hide their ignorance. His face was full of excitement, as if he had been greatly encouraged.

Yes, there are probably only a handful of opportunities in their lives to see Dayan's proudest eldest princess at such a close distance, to see the beautiful concubines in the harem, and to see the goddess-like Like an imperial queen.

When approaching the gate of the city, Murong Yan got on a sweaty horse and told Su Li who was in the carriage repeatedly that she must not step out of the carriage until the hunting ground, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Su Li agreed unhappily, but she secretly lifted the curtain of the car, watching Murongyan's thin and thin back slowly moving forward.

In front, thousands of people and horses had already stood neatly, and the emperor was riding in a mighty manner, and bright yellow flags were flying everywhere in the wind.

The Ninth Five-Year Lord was dressed in a golden battle armor with dragon patterns, with his hand on the jade handle of his sword, and he was riding a tall black horse majestically in front of the army.

Murong Yan rode close, got off the horse, kneeled respectfully on one knee, and said with downcast eyes, "My brother has seen His Majesty."

Emperor Yan Jing stared at Murong Yan calmly, and after a long time, he lazily said, "Prince Xiang is such a big show, and you still want me and all the ministers to wait for you, eh?"

Murong Yan's complexion changed, because she spent a lot of time helping Su Li change her appearance in the morning, she didn't want to miss the time to welcome Sheng Jia.

She had no choice but to hang her head lower, and humbly replied, "My brother is guilty."

"Your Majesty, brother Yan must have felt a lot of discomfort when he just returned to Beijing, please forgive her unintentional mistakes." Eldest Princess Murong Qing leaned aside and begged for mercy.

"Hmph, is it really unintentional?" Emperor Yan Jing narrowed his eyes coldly, and raised his stiff chin.

At this moment, Yaoer, the court lady next to the queen, noticed that the queen Leng Lange once again clenched her hands hidden under the gorgeous phoenix robe, and there was a trace of worry in her eyes that she didn't even realize. Such a deep look, Yao'er only showed it when the queen saw His Royal Highness climbing the dangerous high branch.

"Your Majesty, please forgive Seventh Brother's fault. In fact, it is all the fault of my younger brother."

The young Ninth Prince Murong Lian suddenly stood up, knelt beside Murong Yan, and said, "Seventh Brother hasn't returned to Beijing for a long time, and I miss you so much. I couldn't bear it last night, so I went to drink with Seventh Brother to reminisce about the old days. It made the emperor's brother drunk and couldn't afford it..."

"Reminisce?" Emperor Yan Jing didn't show any expression on his face, looked back and forth between Murong Yan and Murong Lian, and asked indifferently, "Tell me, what old things did you tell your seventh brother?"

"Yes. Your Majesty, do you still remember that one year before the death of the father, he invited the princes and princesses of the Xiongnu and Loulan to hunt together?" Murong Lian nodded and asked calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Su Li's hand in the carriage trembled suddenly.

But Emperor Wenyan Jing sneered twice, but squinted at Murongyan, and said with a sneer, "Of course I remember, the protagonist of that good show back then was not your seventh brother."

As soon as the words fell, there was a whisper in the crowd.

Many people still remember that Emperor Yan Zhao, the former emperor, intended to marry the Huns, but the prince of the Huns refused to marry his sister to King Xiang of Yan, and even almost fought with King Xiang in the court, so Emperor Zhao had no choice but to He proposed hunting to determine the outcome, and the winner could determine the marriage of the Xiongnu princess.

Su Li listened to the whispers of the crowd in a daze, as if she was listening to other people's affairs.

In a trance, she remembered the unbelievable and ridiculous words Murongyan said to herself the night before,

"She... she is my only wife."

So, he really married her? ? ?

Listening to the cynicism in Emperor Yan Jing's words, a trace of obvious pain flashed across Murongyan's face, but she still clenched her teeth and kept her eyes downcast.

"Your Majesty, my lords, maybe everyone remembers the love affair of Seventh Brother in the past, but what I remember is the brotherhood of Seventh Brother who risked his life to save his brother from the mouth of the evil bear. It was only then that I suddenly realized that there might be a kind of emotion hidden in your blood and bone marrow that you and I were born with."

Murong Lian raised his head, stared at Emperor Yan Jing, and said in a loud voice, "This kind of emotion describes the most difficult vows, betrayal, and abandonment in this world! This kind of emotion is attached to people with the same surname. It was tacitly taught each other to protect and care for each other no matter the cost!"

"Brother Sihuang, what Brother Seven and I talked about is the brotherhood that surpasses all feelings in the world!"

After Murong Lian finished speaking, the audience fell silent, Emperor Yan Jing's eyes were filled with astonishment and shock, and he was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he said slowly, "Ninth Brother, it seems that you have really grown up. I look forward to your performance after such a hunt."

"My brother, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's love." Murong Lian bowed his head and bowed, and replied seriously.

Emperor Yan Jing looked at Murongyan again and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong Yan and Murong Lian stood up, replied respectfully, and stepped aside together.

"Ninth brother, thank you... But next time you don't have to plead with the Holy One for me, I'm worried that the Holy Majesty will..." Murong Yan said to Murong Lian quietly, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

"Seventh brother, don't worry about me, I've wanted to say these words for a long time." Murong Lian interrupted softly, his eyes were clear.

"Ugh."

Suddenly, a long and quiet sigh came to the ears of the two of them. Murong Yan saw that Murong Lian's body beside him trembled obviously, and suddenly turned her head to look behind her, and remained motionless.

"Ninth Brother, what are you looking at?" Murong Yan followed Murong Lian's gaze, but saw behind him a guard with a knife wearing exactly the same black armor, she couldn't see anything unusual at all.

"No... nothing..."

Murong Lian's eyes flickered a little, he hesitated softly.

Murong Yan frowned, and was suspicious, when she heard the chief servant shout sharply, "The auspicious time has come, let's start—"

Immediately, the dust was flying, and the army marched together, and the scene was spectacular.

Murong Yan was about to get on her mount, but when she raised her head, she was stunned.

On the gorgeous chariot, her eyes met her unexpectedly.

The wind moved the curtains in her car, and they could see each other.

The falling flowers all over the sky were like scissors, and the thoughts that were constantly sorting out and chaotic, entangled each other's body and mind.

But with just one glance, she turned her head away, stared at the distant road without squinting, and passed by herself.

Murong Yan's hand was tightly clutching the reins of the horse, but her eyes were always moving slowly along with the chariot. Only now did she realize that she is so beautiful and noble today, and her palms slowly ooze sweat , but his face became pale, and he always seemed to show the most embarrassing side in front of her.

"Brother Seven..." Murong Lian at the side saw Murong Yan staring at Leng Lange's chariot that was fading away in a daze, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "It's time to leave."

It was only then that Murong Yan came to her senses, she looked at Murong Lian with some embarrassment, without saying a word, she got on the horse, and walked forward with a whip.

Because of the presence of female relatives, the army moved slowly until night fell, and the army finally reached the periphery of the hunting ground.

That night, Emperor Yan Jing ordered the camp to be set up in place.

Murong Yan secretly sneaked Su Liyin, who was disguised as a servant, into her camp.

She gently rubbed her sore shoulder, but suddenly found that Su Li was staring at her for a moment, her eyes were uncertain, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"What's the matter? Is there something on my face?" Murong Yan stretched out her hand to touch her cheek, and asked a little puzzled.

After a long time, Su Li shook her head lightly and sighed, "It's nothing."

In fact, she wanted to ask Murong Yan many questions, but she was afraid to ask her questions.

Because she was afraid, afraid that once she knew some truths, it would be difficult for her to accept.

Does love between women, love between enemies really exist?

Murong Yan's gaze was fixed on Su Li's face, and after looking at it for a long time, a trace of tiredness appeared in her eyes, and she said, "Since there's nothing else, let's rest earlier."

Su Li looked at the only bed behind the curtain, but her face turned red in disbelief. She quickly glanced at Murongyan, then lowered her head again, "You...where are you sleeping tonight?"

Seeing Su Li showing a rare shy look, Murongyan's heart was lost for a moment.

She felt her heart speed up suddenly, knowing that she was not Xiaoti. . .But why are the shy looks of the two of them so alike?

After being stunned for a long time, Murong Yan finally walked quickly to sit behind the long table in the tent, flipped through a military book, and didn't dare to look at Su Li again, and said flatly without raising her head, "I have to read the military book, you Go to sleep first."

"This is the best way, you can just read the book of war all night!"

Su Li didn't know why she suddenly felt uncomfortable. She suddenly turned around and lay down with her clothes on. She gave Murong Yan a fierce look at Murong Yan who was sitting upright, and then put down all the curtains beside the bed. However, she still felt puzzled and gritted her teeth to curse secretly. Saying "fake prudence", he turned around with a lot of movement, and turned his back to her.

After a while, Murongyan slowly raised her head, and looked at the bed with a wry smile.

Alas, Murong Yan, Murong Yan, you must never harm this girl again. . .

The camp was so quiet that it drove people crazy, several hours had passed, but Su Li didn't feel sleepy at all.

She lay numb and stiff, even though she could feel the dim candlelight behind her and the inaudible sound of pages being turned, she was unwilling to turn around.

Why does my state of mind become so strange? Sometimes I want to escape from this person like that, but sometimes. . .I want to be close to this person like that again.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden crackling sound of footsteps stepping on the branches outside the tent.

Hearing the sound of Murong Yan's robe being rolled up quickly, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, but soon her footsteps gradually moved towards the tent door.

Su Li suddenly got up from the couch, quickly put on her shoes, and quietly chased them out of the tent.

Murongyan's straight back was about to be submerged in the moonlight, Su Li lowered her cheeks and couldn't help speeding up her steps.

My heart kept beating, it was so late, where was she going?

Murong Yan sneaked into a bush, then stopped her footsteps and stopped.

"It's time to come out." She glanced at the endless darkness and said.

Su Li, who was hiding behind the bushes, heard this, and her heart skipped a beat, thinking that she had discovered her, and just about to show herself, she heard a slight sound of footsteps not far away.

A masked man in black slowly came out of the hidden and dark woods.

Su Li couldn't help biting her lower lip, she recognized that this man in black was the man in black who appeared out of thin air after she assassinated Murong Yan at the Gyeonggi station.

She still remembers the way this person looked at her at that time, like ice made for thousands of years, with a cold and jealous light. . .

The man in black glanced at Murongyan, lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "I have seen the Lord."

Listening to the voice, it is a woman who is as peaceful and calm as a clear pool.

"You don't need to be polite, why are you here?" Murongyan frowned, and there was a hint of worry in her warm voice, "Isn't the Holy Majesty already suspicious of you, this place is too dangerous, you should hurry back Let's go to the palace."

The woman in black fixed her wonderful eyes on Murong Yan, only to hear her say in a very soft voice, "If I say, I'm only here to meet the Lord..."

"A Sheng!" Murong Yan interrupted hastily, using her suppressed eyes to stop her from continuing.

The woman in black didn't look annoyed, she bent her eyes and seemed to be smiling, which sounded a little sad, "My lord really can't take any jokes..." She paused, and then said seriously, "I'm here I want to tell the lord that no matter what method the lord uses in the hunt tomorrow, before the lord makes a move, he must get himself injured first."

Murong Yan was speechless for a long time.

The moonlight leaked from the branches of the tall trees that had lost all their leaves, caressing her cheeks in a very lonely way, making her shallow eyes look even more bleak and vicissitudes.

"Lord?"

"Did Brother Huang tell you himself that he insisted on getting rid of me?" Murong Yan lowered her eyes and said with a shy smile.

"The night before yesterday, I personally overheard Prime Minister Leng telling His Majesty that a seamless assassination has been arranged in the hunting ground."

Murong Yan's face suddenly changed drastically, after a long time, she waved her hands weakly and said, "I see, you go back."

Layers of cold sweat had already broken out on Su Li's body, her whole body was cold and sore, she was so shocked and sad, it was unbelievable.

How come. .in this way?Her own brother actually wanted to get rid of her? !

The woman in black took a deep look at Murong Yan, then turned and left obediently, but within two steps, she turned her head back and asked, "I just want to ask one last question, is that okay?"

Murong Yan nodded silently.

"My lord, if the day comes when you are forced to do so, will you become an enemy of that empress?"

Hearing the question asked by the woman in black, Su Li stood there completely stunned, almost forgetting to breathe. Only by biting her lower lip and biting the smell of blood tightly, could she barely stay awake in the pain.

The rumors about Empress Dayan and King Xiang are almost a well-known secret in the Forbidden City, but even so, Su Li never personally asked Murong Yan about the truth about their relationship.

But at this moment, the truth was right in front of her, she suddenly wanted to cover her ears, but her limbs were completely frozen, unable to move.

It seemed that after a whole lifetime, she heard Murong Yan sigh heavily and let out a sentence in a daze, like a dream,

"How can I be an enemy of her... Even if I die a thousand times or ten thousand times, it will never hurt her at all."
