Qingjiang Yin

The bonfire was burned out, and the banquet was over.Li Zhenyuan was not in a hurry to return to the tent, but walked hesitantly alone, the voices of people gradually faded away, the forest at night was extremely quiet, only the sound of night birds flying in surprise occasionally came.

The crescent moon hangs high, like a clear spring, and the brilliance sprinkles the world.

This kind of night is the easiest to catch thousands of thoughts.Li Zhenyuan recalled all the things since returning to Beijing, and couldn't help but feel more depressed.

And this kind of depression, he can't talk to others, but it is so heavy that he can hardly breathe.

Suddenly, Li Zhenyuan stopped, and there was the smell of burning pine branches in the forest, and the orange fire was faintly visible. Li Zhenyuan's five senses were keen, and he quickly judged that someone was lighting a fire here.

In the middle of the night, in the Royal Forbidden Garden, who is here?

Li Zhenyuan shook his head, thinking that no matter who this person is, it has nothing to do with him, so he turned around and was about to leave.

"Since the general is here, why don't you stay and talk to someone." The man in the forest seemed to sense Li Zhenyuan's breath, and suddenly said loudly.

Li Zhenyuan recognized that it was Ruan Fengxie's voice, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped out of the shadows: "How did Shaoqing know it was me?"

Ruan Fengxie sat by the fire, glanced at Li Zhenyuan casually, and said, "I don't know who it is, I'm just guessing."

"If Shaoqing is fine, Li will leave now." Li Zhenyuan said that and was about to walk away.

"I'm about to roast some game, and I would like to invite the general to taste it together." After finishing speaking, Ruan Fengxie glanced at the open space beside her, motioning for Li Zhenyuan to sit down.

Li Zhenyuan took a glance, and sure enough, he saw some prey piled beside Ruan Fengxie, which had been plucked and skinned, and were just waiting to be grilled.

He had only drank some wine during the banquet just now, and now his stomach is empty.

Since the stomach is hungry, it will eat,

Hearing what Ruan Fengxie said, she didn't refuse, so she sat down next to him. Ruan Fengxie skewered the meat on the branch, turned it over carefully, and looked very focused.

Ruan Fengxie was dressed in a strong outfit, his black hair was combed into a simple bun, and only a wooden hairpin was fixed. This outfit was quite plain and simple, but it didn't detract from his handsomeness at all. At this moment, he didn't look like Chaotang The young minister of Dali Temple with a lotus tongue and a hatred of evil is like an outsider who lives in seclusion in the mountains and wilds.

Ruan Fengxie remained silent, and neither did Li Zhenyuan.Only the crackling of the fire.

The roasted rabbit meat exudes a tempting aroma, and the provocative Li Zhenyuan's stomach is even more hungry.Ruan Fengxie didn't repeat, and handed him the branch.

Li Zhenyuan took it, glanced at Ruan Fengxie, received his encouraging gaze, and took a bite. The meat was tender and well seasoned, and it was actually very delicious.

He was a little surprised, and asked: "Where did Shaoqing get such a good skill?"

Ruan Fengxie roasted another piece of meat and asked, "Does the general like it?"

Li Zhenyuan nodded: "I like it very much."

Ruan Fengxie smiled, and some light flashed in his eyes: "When I was young, I often went out hunting with my uncle. My uncle was good at cooking. Whenever he came back from hunting, he would eat barbecued meat with me like this."

Li Zhenyuan looked at him, and saw that he lowered his eyes, with a sad look on his face, but the warm firelight outlined a lonely outline. I am afraid that the uncle Ruan Fengxie was talking about was already dead because of the case of Ye Feng four years ago. stop.

Thinking about it, it was not easy for Ruan Fengxie to be in the capital these years, but anyone who has been a young minister or a censor has a bumpy career, and it is difficult to end well, because he offended too many people.

Li Zhenyuan could predict that Ruan Fengxie changed his face for revenge and joined King Zhao's command to be driven by him. Once King Zhao fell, he would be the first to bear the brunt, and I'm afraid he would feel extremely bitter.

Seeing that Li Zhenyuan remained silent for a long time, Ruan Fengxie looked back and saw that Li Zhenyuan's resolute and handsome face had a look of pity, so he sneered, "General Li also hurts the spring and the autumn?"

Li Zhenyuan put down the branch with the rabbit meat on it, and said seriously: "Ruan Shaoqing, you were rude to me earlier, and Li was really angry."

Ruan Fengxie was a little surprised that Li Zhenyuan would repeat what happened that day, and then Li Zhenyuan continued: "Afterwards, I heard about the Ye family, so I can understand Shaoqing's mood." Li Zhenyuan paused, "Li did not make a move. To help each other, Ye Shiyi was wronged and died, and his conscience could not be at ease."

When Li Zhenyuan said this, his expression was sincere and his words were sincere, which made people have to believe.

Ruan Fengxie stared at Li Zhenyuan for a long while, her eyes lingered on that face, and finally sighed: "General, you don't need to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with the general. It was Ruan's mistake. I hope the general will forgive me." At that time It is also because I am naive, all this has nothing to do with Li Zhenyuan, and it is unreasonable for me to vent my anger on Li Zhenyuan.

He just hated, hated why the world was so unfair, the treacherous man turned his hands into clouds and his hands into rain, manipulating life and death, his father was conscientious and loyal, but he was going to be framed to death.

However, in the past four years, when he stepped into the muddy waters of officialdom, he realized that he was in it and couldn't help himself.Are you really clean?Isn't it also full of dirty hands like others.

Ruan Fengxie felt a little sad in his heart, but he shook his head, put the sadness behind him, picked up the wine jar beside him, and asked Li Zhenyuan, "Do you want wine?"

Li Zhenyuan's eyes lit up: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, he took the wine from Ruan Fengxie's hand, unsealed the wine, and started to drink from the wine jar.

He is a military commander. In the past four years of guarding the border, he has long been used to the customs outside the Great Wall, and he can't bear to drink in small cups. What he loves most is drinking in the altar like a man in the desert.

He never noticed that Ruan Fengxie looked at him calmly, his fox eyes softened, with some inexplicable feelings, his face flickering under the firelight was extraordinarily gorgeous, like a fairy that charms all living beings.

What's more, he didn't know that in the future, he would have an entanglement with Ruan Fengxie, and this entanglement almost ruined his relationship with Yuan Che.

Li Zhenyuan and Ruan Fengxie could smile away their grievances, and found that talking with him is also a great pleasure in the world.He chatted happily with Ruan Fengxie, the turbidity in his chest was cleared, and the previous depression also subsided a lot.

The two chatted and drank happily until late at night before bidding farewell.

After a night without dreams, Li Zhenyuan had a very heavy sleep, and when he woke up he was refreshed, and after a little freshening up, he came to the venue of the martial arts competition.

He didn't come early, and many people were already seated around the venue. The emperor sat on a temporary high platform, with Concubine Zhong on his left, and Princess Yuan Xin on his right.

Yuan Xin was looking around, her eyes were wandering in the crowd, when she met Li Zhenyuan's gaze, she paused for a moment, then moved away quickly without knowing how, but the blush quickly smeared on her cheeks betrayed her thoughts.

Li Zhenyuan was too far away to see the princess's expression clearly, and naturally he had no way of knowing what the princess's daughter was thinking. He looked around and saw Yuan Che also arrived. He wanted to smile with him, but Yuan Che looked at her with a gloomy expression. Elsewhere, Li Zhenyuan in the crowd was not noticed.

Li Zhenyuan was a little disappointed, but soon lost his mind. After drawing lots at the entrance, seeing that he was in the fifth competition, he found a seat and calmed down to wait and see.

He stayed outside the Great Wall for four years, and the situation in the imperial capital was changing. When he came back, everything had already changed. Most of the new young heroes in Beijing these years were unknown.

Most of these young men who came up to the competition were the sons of the imperial guards stationed in the capital. Their parents were all in high positions. They usually used knives and guns for the sake of prestige. They were rarely like Li Zhenyuan, who had experienced many battles when he was young and crowned.

Li Zhenyuan watched two scenes, and couldn't help frowning secretly.Although these people's moves are beautiful, they are just flamboyant fists and embroidered legs. If they are allowed to fight the enemy, it may not take ten rounds before they will be cut off by the fierce and skilled Xiongnu soldiers.

"Wen Yuan seems a little unhappy?" A clear voice sounded in his ears, and Li Zhenyuan turned his head to see Han Shi, Prince of Wen County, and said, "Zi Yin, why are you here?"

"It's such a grand event, so I naturally have to join in the fun." Han Shi and Li Zhenyuan were young, so there was no need for red tape between the two of them. He sat down beside Li Zhenyuan and watched the increasingly fierce fighting on the stage together.

"I just lament that these people are too weak."

Han Shi chuckled: "These people are already the best among the younger generation in Beijing. Wen Yuan is brave and powerful. No one else can compare to you. Naturally, he feels that the people on stage are too weak."

Li Zhenyuan disagreed: "In terms of martial arts, I can't be regarded as top-notch, and the word "shenwu" is even more ashamed. It's just that they have more time to experience the battlefield. I'm afraid they are usually too extravagant and lustful."

Han Shi did not argue with him, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he watched the competition with great interest, with a contented look on his handsome face.

Finally, even the fourth round was decided. Li Zhenyuan heard his name being called out.

He got up from his seat, chose a long spear in his hand from the drop-down platform where the weapons were placed under the stage, and walked slowly onto the ring.

From the moment he stepped onto the ring, the originally noisy venue was instantly quiet, and the people present were not necessarily court officials.But they all knew that this was the famous Li Zhenyuan, and they all opened their eyes wide, eager to see Li Zhenyuan's kung fu.

Li Zhenyuan is now a legend. In the 200 years since the founding of Dasheng, no one has ever made such great achievements as the year of the crown.

Li Zhenyuan was very calm and calm, he didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, he just quietly waited for his opponent to come to the stage - the champion of the new science and martial arts - Cao Yanzhang.

He waited for a while, and when he heard a clear shout from the audience, there was a person, dressed in green and affectionate, with a long sword in his hand, and lightly jumped onto the ring.

Cao Yanzhang was eighteen years old, tall and tall, almost as tall as Li Zhenyuan, extremely handsome, with a look of vitality in his brows, just looking at his imposing manner, one can infer that this person must be young and heroic.

Li Zhenyuan guessed that this was Cao Yanzhang, he clasped his fists in salute, and said: "Please give me your advice."

The man didn't return the salute, and quickly attacked Li Zhenyuan without waiting for Li Zhenyuan to make a move.Naturally, it was impossible for Li Zhenyuan to mess up his position because of this, and a long spear was powerful, covering his whole body tightly.

While making moves, I admire this person in my heart. You must know that the enemy will not wait for you to organize the battle when you fight against the enemy.Preemptive attack is the best way to control the enemy.

Cao Yanzhang couldn't take a single blow, so he retreated a little, and the two stood on one side of the ring, facing each other from a distance.

Li Zhenyuan's face was calm, but his heart gradually became excited.He felt his blood boil.

He rarely met opponents in Beijing, so he was inevitably lonely and boring.Anyone who practices martial arts is more or less a bit of a martial idiot, Li Zhenyuan is the same, although this Cao Yanzhang is not as skilled as him, he is very understanding in martial arts, given time, he can be on par with him.

Cao Yanzhang couldn't hold back again, he approached Li Zhenyuan with a few leaps, and after a dozen moves, he suddenly got short and swept his legs to sweep Li Zhenyuan's foot.

Naturally, this trick couldn't escape Li Zhenyuan's eyes. He stationed himself with a gun, and with a single leap, he reached the other side of the ring.

Li Zhenyuan was not in a hurry to defeat Cao Yanzhang, but guided him calmly.

After dozens of moves, Li Zhenyuan sensed something was wrong.

Cao Yanzhang's moves were too fierce, and every move seemed to take his own life. It didn't look like a martial arts contest, but rather a life-and-death fight.Li Zhenyuan thought in his heart that he had only met him once at most, and never had any grudges against him, so he didn't know why he was so cruel.

Li Zhenyuan became vigilant and deliberately bought an opening for him. Cao Yanzhang's sword tip touched Li Zhenyuan's chest and he was overjoyed.

Seeing that the sharp sword tip was about to pierce Li Zhenyuan's chest.I don't know who exclaimed outside the field.

Li Zhenyuan dodged suddenly, avoiding the sharply approaching sword point, spared behind Cao Yanzhang, and kicked him behind his knee. Cao Yanzhang was caught off guard and fell to the ground. When he looked up, the cold spear point was pointing at his throat.

"Admit defeat." Li Zhenyuan looked at Cao Yanzhang on the ground and said coldly.

Cao Yanzhang looked up, Li Zhenyuan's tall body was like a towering and unmoving mountain, blocking the sun, he gritted his teeth unwillingly, shame and chagrin flashed across his heart, and it took him a long time before he said: "I lost."

Li Zhenyuan moved the tip of the gun away, and said: "Offended." Turning around, Yuan Xin had stood up from her seat, was looking at herself, and then looked back at Cao Yanzhang who had struggled to get up from the ground. Secretly looking at Yuan Xin.

There was both love and shame in that look, he immediately understood, and felt a little funny in his heart.Li Zhenyuan turned around and stretched out his hand to Cao Yanzhang, but the young man turned his head away, resisting the pain in his leg, stood up and got off the ring.

Li Zhenyuan looked at his limping back, and laughed a little, then looked at Yuan Che on the other side, seeing that he was also watching him, he stopped his smile, nodded, and signaled that he was completely fine.

The author has something to say: The general is so handsome, why don't you share your thoughts?
