What about the soft and cute bamboo horse I am a freshman?

The Xiaoyao formation was a dream of Jinshi when he was a child, and it was a legend that every array painter had heard when he was a child.He didn't expect that someone was really chasing it.

"But you..." Jin Shi pointed to the spirit seal on Merong He's wrist, "You can't draw a formation at all now."

Merong He glanced at the things on his wrist, and raised the corner of his mouth: "This is not a problem."

Jinshi didn't know why.

Merong He stood up, reached out and rubbed his hair, Jin Shi didn't realize it all at once, and when he did, Merong He had already left for Nianqing Hall.

"This is not what you are worried about." Merong Hyuk left such a sentence.

Jin Shi clutched his messy hair and cursed in his heart, who is worried!

Zishi is coming soon, and before the auspicious wishful array to watch the ceremony, there is a need to quiet down and count people. As a "proton", Merong He cannot be absent.

"Where's Liang Fang?"

"It should still be with the Queen Mother," Yuan Chu asked in a low voice, "Where did you go just now?"

"Didn't you let me play along?" Jinshi pretended to be unhappy and rebellious.

Yuanchu stretched out his hand and poked him on the head: "Are you still taking Joe with Master?"

"Don't poke, what should I do if I am stupid?" Jinshi covered his head, and then whispered, "I went to the small kitchen just now."

"Kitchen?"

Jin Shi said vaguely: "I just... ran into Murong He cooking, so I had something to eat."

Yuanchu's hand paused, and then turned around: "Didn't I tell you not to get too close to him? Usually, you are short of food?"

Jin Shi wrinkled his nose: "I just happened to meet, and we just chatted for a few words."

Jinshi didn't know why Murong He pulled himself to say so much, maybe it was because of the emotion, maybe it was because these words had been pressed in his heart for a long time, and he couldn't help but poured them out.

"At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty," Jin Shi whispered, "Do you know about Princess Jincheng?"

Yuan Chu frowned: "What did Mo Ronghe tell you?"

"It's nothing," Jinshi didn't know what to say, he always felt that just after someone had a heart-to-heart relationship with you, he turned around and sold other people's experience to a third party. people.

"Northern adults are very cunning," Yuanchu warned, "They have been eyeing Da Mu all the time. It seems that Mo Ronghe took the initiative to surrender to the enemy at a critical moment to help Da Mu, but... who knows what evil they are holding back here, Be careful not to be used."

How can he be used as an unknown pawn, Jinshi thought, even if Murong He really held back some bad thoughts, there is a high probability that it has nothing to do with him.

"I know, I know." Jinshi poured tea for Yuanchu, "Don't worry, master, your apprentice is not that stupid."

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he was worried and wanted to ask something more, so he saw the father-in-law Deyu who was next to Xu Zhang approaching.

"Yuan Jiuyao, young master Jinshi." Deyu said in a soft voice, "The queen mother called young master Jinshi to have an audience."

Jinshi and Yuanchu were taken aback, Queen Mother?

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he asked carefully: "I don't know what my father-in-law knows?"

Deyu said with a smile: "This...the Queen Mother's mind is too small to guess."

The Empress Dowager summoned him, and Jinshi couldn't resist the order, so at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he asked Deyu who was beside him to get some ink, and drew a formation seal on the back of Jinshi's hand: "Activate it when you encounter danger."

Jinshi nodded, and Yuanchu let him and Deyu leave.

"Yuan Jiuyao really cares about your son." Deyu said with a smile while leading the way, "I don't feel at ease in this palace."

Don't look at the eunuch smiling, but what he said is a bit hidden in a smile.

Jinshi couldn't understand the implication, so he smiled innocently: "Don't worry, father-in-law. When I was young, I was deceived by King Wen's rebel party to a remote place and almost lost my life. That's why Master is so careful."

The "King Wen rebelled against the party" back then was also an eunuch.

A gust of wind blew, and the shadow of the lantern floated, Deyu's expression twisted for a moment. Jin Shi felt that something was wrong and slowed him down a little. He saw Deyu stopped and turned sideways with the lantern in his hand. Some dark ponds.

Deyu looked at the pond and said quietly: "Our family heard about that incident back then, do you know what happened to that little eunuch?"

What happened to that little eunuch?

Jin Shi secretly guarded himself, then shook his head.

"Execute Ling Chi," Deyu grinned fearfully, "tsk tsk tsk, back then the late emperor ordered all the eunuchs and maids in the palace to go up and cut him with a knife, and the people in the back row , just stepping on the bloody water all over the ground."

Jin Shi was stunned by these words, he opened his eyes wide: "How...how could..."

"I can't help it," Deyu looked at Jinshi, "The lives of us people, what is life... It's the master's order to do things, and in the end, it's the master who ordered the death..."

Jin Shi choked up for a moment.

"Hey, look at my family, why are you talking about such a frustrating thing during the Chinese New Year?" Deyu pretended to slap his mouth, and continued to lead the way with a lantern, "Let's go on, don't let the Queen Mother Empress, wait anxiously."

Jinshi looked at Deyu's back, the red lantern representing the festival swayed with his steps, and the shadow falling on the ground was also red, just like what he just said, the blood flowing on the ground.

"Young master?"

Seeing that Jinshi didn't follow, Deyu turned around and called him, Jinshi responded and followed his footsteps.

The Empress Dowager lived in the Kunhe Palace in the west, which belonged to the harem. Adult men were not allowed to enter without summons. Jin Shi had never been here before. When Kunhe was outside the palace, Deyu bowed slightly: "This is it, young master, wait a moment."

Jinshi stood under the stone steps in front of the main hall of Kunhe Palace, listening to the voices and laughter of the girls faintly coming from inside. After Deyu entered, the laughter stopped for a while, and then Deyu came out. He made a please gesture.

Jin Shi nodded slightly to him, he climbed up the stairs, and when he stood at the door of the main hall, he turned his head slightly, and saw Deyu walking along the road when he was walking alone, his back, which had been bowed slightly before, was straightened, and then The big red lantern is still swaying in the darkness, like a ghostly fire in the night.

Jinshi turned back, stood at the door, saluted and said in a loud voice: "Caomin Jinshi, pay homage to the Queen Mother."

The door opened with a "squeak", Jin Shi lowered his head, and a pink skirt appeared in front of his eyes.

"Oh," the female voice in front of me smiled coquettishly, "Are you Jinshi? You look so cute, I can't tell you are seventeen."

Jin Shi was taken aback, but before he could react, someone grabbed his wrist forcefully. He looked at the slender fingers on his wrist with thin calluses and raised his head. Sure enough, Liang Fang was in front of him.

Liang Fang stood between him and the girl. He saw that Liang Fang's cheeks were pink, even the corners of his eyes were tinged with red, and there was a slight smell of alcohol coming from his body. Jin Shi couldn't help asking: "Have you been drinking?"

Liang Fang smiled at him, Jinshi felt suffocated, and his head was instantly filled with adjectives such as "smiling like a peach blossom" and "face like a peach and plum".

He remembered how sleepy he was when he first got up early to go to the National Teacher's Mansion when he was a child. He hugged Liang Fang who led him the way, then opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that Liang Fang was as white as the golden boy beside Guanyin. With a pretty face, he blurted out "You look even more beautiful when you smile".

Xiaoliang Fang was angry at that time.

Now this big beam Fang is smiling to himself beautifully.

Jin Shi's face flushed red.

Liang Fang's eyes were drunk, he looked at the blushing Jinshi in front of him, stretched out his hand to gently pinch his soft face, and asked softly, "Are you hot?"

"No...no." Jinshi supported his unsteady body while avoiding his hand that was about to pinch his face.

He...he didn't know that Liang Fang looked like this when he was drunk!

Besides, in a harem like Kunhe Palace, at most, women enjoy sake, how could he be so drunk?

"Get out of the way first," the girl dissatisfied behind Liang Fang, "I haven't looked at Jinshi much yet."

Jinshi felt the hand holding his wrist tighten suddenly, and then Liang Fang turned around, blocking him behind, with a cold voice: "What do you want to do?"

How different from the gentle voice just now?And the voice is sober, not drunk at all?

Jin Shi was a little confused, but Liang Fang turned around and did not forget to hold his wrist with one hand behind his back, as if he would run away at any time.

The girl seemed to be confused by him too, and then Jinshi heard the girl's crying voice from the palace:

"Queen ~ look at him! He is too much!"

Fierce girl, it was indeed too much, Jin Shi agreed in his heart, but considering that Liang Fang was drunk, he just twitched his wrist slightly, and whispered: "Let me go first, I won't run away."

"No." Liang Fang gave him such an answer without turning his head, and his hands tightened again as if in a demonstration.

Jinshi was helpless, he could feel the place where Liang Fang's hand was holding was a little hot during the nine cold days.

But he couldn't reason with the drunkard, so he had no choice but to coax: "Then let me see the queen mother first, the queen mother summoned me..."

"I asked the Queen Mother to find you." Liang Fang turned his head and said.

Today is New Year's Eve, there is no moon in the sky, only stars, Jin Shi now sees the sky full of stars, in Liang Fang's black eyes.

The sky is full of stars, and there is him.

Only him.

"You just need to take me away." Liang Fang said seriously.

Jin Shi stared at him blankly, then he heard a sigh from inside the deep palace, and then a nun walked to the door.

"The queen mother said, please young master Jinshi, take good care of the national teacher." The nanny said to Jinshi politely, and then she put on his black cloak embroidered with gold thread for Liang Fang, and Liang took a step forward. After leaving the main hall of Kunhe Palace, Mammy closed the door behind them.

The voices of the girls talking and laughing sounded again.

Liang Fang untied his cloak and wrapped Jinshi inside.

Jinshi's shoulders moved slightly: "I'm not cold."

Liang Fang reached out and touched his face again: "Put it on, be good."

Jinshi wanted to untie it and put it back on for him, but Liang Fang didn't give him a chance, but pulled his wrist again.

Although on the surface it was Jinshi who came to pick Liang Fang up, Liang Fang was pulling him on the way back.

After walking too far, Jinshi couldn't stand this awkward posture anymore, he struggled a little and said, "Liang Fang, you don't have to drag me like this, and I can't run, how tiring walking like this is."

"You will." Liang Fang said in a muffled voice.

Jin Shi didn't react: "What?"

"If you let go—"

Liang Fang's pace became slower and slower, and finally stopped. He turned around slowly, his face was still a little red, but his eyes were clear.

He looked at Jinshi, and continued: "If you let go, you will run."

Jinshi's throat suddenly felt a little dry.

"The first time you ran away, I didn't catch you, and then I almost lost you," Liang Fang said in a very calm tone, "The second time you ran away, I let you go, and then you left me for nine years, I almost lost you." I can get you back."

For the first time, he credulously trusted the little eunuch sent by King Wen, and almost killed Jin Shi at the bottom of the lotus pond.

The second time, he failed to forcefully keep Jinshi, causing Jinshi and Yuanchu to be exiled in Nanxiang for nine years, and suffered from sealing the spirit veins.

"That year, my mother brought you the news of your refusal to enter the National Teacher's Mansion. I thought at the time, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, you will come back in the future, and the truth will come out when your father triumphs and the teacher returns to the court. Let you stay in Nanxiang for too long."

There was a faint sound of music in the distance, and Jinshi knew that it was the accompaniment to the rising of the auspicious wishful array.

"Later the news of my father's death came." Liang Fang also looked in the direction of the music, "I told myself that I must live, because the Liang family depends on me, and my mother depends on me."

The first beam of golden light rushed to the sky, and the clear voice of a child amplified by the formation came—say goodbye to the evil of the old year, and welcome the good fortune of the new year!

The ceremony begins!

"Later, my mother passed away." Liang Fang looked at the golden lines that spread continuously in the air. "When I was keeping vigil for my mother, I thought whether I should go too. Jinshi is still in the south and hasn't come back, the royal family is mostly heartless, if I'm gone, who will investigate what happened back then, who will rehabilitate Yuan Jiuyao, what will happen to the seal on Jinshi's wrist."

More and more golden lights appeared and gathered slowly, interweaving into a sea of ​​stars like golden stars, flickering on and off, all over the entire capital, covering the light of real stars and illuminating the night sky.

Jinshi's nose was sore, he stepped forward to hold Liang Fang's hand, swallowed his throat, and tried to hide his emotions, but the moment he spoke, he still cried: "I'm sorry, I'm late. "

Liang Fang held his hand behind his back, then turned around slowly, his eyes were full of hope: "Jin Shi, promise me not to leave again, okay?"

Before Jin Shi could answer, the golden "stars" suddenly exploded one by one regularly, accompanied by crackling firecrackers in the middle of the night and New Year's Eve, drowning out all the sounds.

Jin Shi saw that Liang Fang smiled, his lips moved, and he said something, but Jin Shi couldn't hear anything clearly.

"God bless Da Mu, good luck."

The last sentence of "Auspicious Ruyi Ci", which never changes from the beginning to the end, is read out, which means that the new year has arrived.

The sound of firecrackers gradually died down, and Jin Shi heard Liang Fang say to him——

"Jinshi, happy birthday, good luck."
