"Brother Yan?" Chunyuye looked around and asked in confusion, "I'm still alive?"

Qiu Yan watched him silently without speaking.

"It seems that you have made a move," Chunyuye said knowingly, seeing Qiu Yan's expressionless face, he felt a pang of sorrow in his heart, "The matter of Master You has been settled?"

"Ah."

"You really deserve to be my younger brother," Chunyu Ye couldn't help but sighed, looking at the bed curtain and recalled, "You have been better than me since you were young, and you can't even hide your intelligence. Now that you have grown up, you are naturally more capable than me .”

Qiu Yan turned his head and lowered his eyes to look away, unwilling to recall those past events.

"In this way, I can leave with peace of mind." Chunyuye smiled wryly.

Qiu Yan was silent for a while, then said calmly: "Actually, you don't need to do this."

"I know, since you are here, you must have a solution, but I don't want to rely on you for everything. In the past, every time my father gave me a problem, I relied on you to help me figure it out. When you are not here, I become mediocre. , if it weren't for this, the emperor wouldn't have discovered your cleverness, and the concubine mother wouldn't have been so afraid to embarrass you, and she wouldn't have..."

Chunyuye paused as he spoke: "I think at least for the last time, I can solve it by myself without relying on you."

Qiu Yan remained silent.

"How have you been all these years?"

"Very good, brother takes good care of me, and master also cares about me."

"The senior brother you are talking about is the one who came with you today? He is more competent than my real brother... right?"

"He is very kind to me from the bottom of my heart, and I am willing to give everything for him."

"If I hadn't been obsessed with ghosts for a while..."

Qiu Yan interrupted him: "What's the point of talking about this now."

Those long pillows in the past have finally become the past, and the past that he doesn't want to let go of is the one he himself abandoned at the beginning.

"Brother Yan," Chunyuye said in a trembling tone, looking at Chou Yan with tears in his eyes, "I know you won't forgive me, and I don't expect you to forgive me. This time, I will make amends to you. Please help me." After I leave, take good care of my wife and children, my mother, and please don't criticize her too much."

He doesn't want me to save him.

Qiu Yan suddenly thought sadly, he curled up his fingers calmly, and after a while he slowly opened his mouth and said: "...I see."

"Thank you." Chunyu Ye suppressed his sobs, and his tears fell silently.

After all, Qiu Yan didn't turn his head to look at him again, got up and left quietly. Two days later, the new emperor who had just ascended the throne for less than a month passed away, and the whole country mourned.

His younger brother Chun Yuyan temporarily took over the affairs of state, raised troops to crusade against the various ministries of Xirong, and assisted in the second half of the second half of the month to recover all the captured lands. Guoxi, together with the Xue family and the ministers headed by Qiu Guoshi, is going to elect Chun Yuyan as the new monarch, and hold the enthronement ceremony after the funeral.

That day, after Ning Xiao went to Beijing to meet him privately, Qiu Yan met Zhu Lingyu who came back with Zhang Shujian and Ning Xiao.The two haven't seen each other for half a month, Zhu Lingyu is still the same as before leaving, but Qiu Yan has changed from a simple plain robe to a luxurious palace robe, and his temperament is quite different.

"I can't even recognize your appearance."

Looking at Qiu Yan's long-lost clothes, Zhu Lingyou couldn't help but feel a little novel. In his memory, when he first saw him, he looked like a handsome nobleman, which reminded him involuntarily of how he looked when he brought Qiu Yan back to Xuanqing Mountain. Looking at everything, he was extremely excited and curious, but before he was happy for a while, he remembered that ever since he went to the front line to help Ning Xiao regain his military prestige with Zhang Shujian, Ning Xiao has been making no secret of his desire to support Qiu Yan as his successor. According to his intentions, Qiu Yan's outfit made him feel that they are now people from two worlds.

Qiu Yan looked down at his clothes, and said casually: "These are the only clothes in the palace, and they are very vulgar compared to the simplicity and elegance of Xianmen."

"I've always felt that splashing ink on the desk is more suitable for you than wielding knives and swords." Zhu Lingyou said solemnly, with the implication that he wanted to test whether Ning Xiao planned to tell him, and what kind of attitude he held.

Qiu Yan smiled and didn't answer, and asked: "Is the trip going smoothly, brother?"

"The generals of Dayan are brave and good at fighting, and we are just helping the soldiers who have been poisoned by resentment to get rid of the negative influence so that they can perform normally," Zhu Lingyou replied absent-mindedly, seeing that Qiu Yan had no intention of saying it himself , hesitated for a long time before asking, "Do you... want to stay and be the emperor?"

Qiu Yan said truthfully: "I originally wanted to settle second brother's wife and children after Xi Rong was expelled. General Ning said that the current situation in the court is unstable, and the other brothers are too mediocre and incompetent to be the emperor. I have already escaped." This time, this time I can't escape again, and it's time to take responsibility. In terms of seniority, he is my uncle, and I can't shirk it. Besides, the teacher is old, and I really shouldn't think about asking him to assist the new king and take these burdens. Leave it all to him."

Zhu Lingyu originally hoped that he could stay and do what he really wanted to do, and he was relieved when he heard about it, but he couldn't help being a little disappointed when he thought that the days of seeing each other would be fewer in the future, fearing that he would affect his determination, in his heart After tidying up secretly, he acted nonchalantly and said, "It should be so."

Qiu Yan sensed Zhu Lingyu's hidden emotions, and explained with relief: "I've made up my mind, I will bring my second brother's eldest son by my side to raise him personally, and when he grows up to be able to take care of himself, I will go back. It's just me This violated the prohibition of the Immortal Sect, and I am afraid that the spiritual veins will be abolished and return to the mortal body. I heard that the Xuanqing Cave may be able to reshape the spiritual veins, but I don’t know if it is true or not.”

At the end, seeing that Zhu Lingyu still seemed a little depressed, he joked again: "But the eldest son of the second brother is young now, and I'm afraid he will be quite old when he grows up, but the senior brother is still as young as ever. Won't you despise me?"

Zhu Lingyu didn't understand his intention at all, and said with a serious face: "Ayan, the life of a mortal is so short, I hope you can wholeheartedly and spare no effort to realize your ideals, and don't make compromises because of me."

"Senior brother, my ideal is not to be an emperor, but to be peaceful and healthy for the people in the world. This kind of Yan needs a wise king, not me, but what I need is you alone," Qiu Yan said, staring into Zhu Lingyou's eyes, "You are the number one in my heart, don't push me out, okay?"

Zhu Lingyu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Qiu Yan's affectionate and gentle eyes, and he forgot that he was indeed the only one in Qiu Yan's eyes.

"As long as you don't regret it in the future, that's fine."

"How could it be. Senior brother, let me ask you instead. I don't know if the spirit veins can be reshaped after being abolished, and how many years it will take to reshape, or maybe it won't be possible to reshape in a lifetime. Just wait a few days in the world like this." In the end, I can only accompany you for decades and then die naturally, so are you still willing to wait for me?"

Zhu Lingyu really wanted to tell him that he was going to enter the Xuanqing Cave, and he had been waiting for him outside the cave. If he really couldn't reshape the spirit veins, he would also be willing to abolish the spirit veins to grow old with him, but this After turning eight hundred times in my heart, I still couldn't open my mouth. Finally, I built myself up for a long time before I said angrily: "...what nonsense, I don't wait for you. Who else can I wait for. If you sacrifice the object, it can only be me , even if you die, you have to die in my arms, don’t even think about going anywhere. Don’t rely on me liking you, just talk nonsense every day to anger me!”

Chou Yan's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at him in disbelief and said, "Senior brother, you, say it again."

For a moment, Qiu Yan's eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, Zhu Lingyou's heart was beating wildly, and he crazily praised him for being cute in his heart. He couldn't say it again, but he really couldn't refuse him. Want to simply reach out and clasp the back of his head and kiss him.

The first thing Qiu Yan did after succeeding to the throne was to announce that Xi Rong would be completely suppressed to prevent further misfortunes. In this battle to expel Xirong, everyone was rewarded according to their merits and demerits.

Ever since Chunyuye hit the pillar that day, Qiu Yan has been focusing on the war against Xirong, and has never paid attention to You Huan's news. It was only then that he heard that You Huan's hometown was rebuilt by himself because his lifelong revenge plan finally failed. Another accident happened in my own hands, and my grandson was also forced to death by him. After returning home that day, he fell ill and died alone on the desk in the study within a few days.I heard that before his death, he had been looking through the copybooks he wrote when he was studying with Chun Yushuo and Qiu Huijun in the palace.

The crime of treason should be punished according to the law, but the grievances and grievances over the past few decades have been unresolved. Qiu Yan ordered all the relatives of You's family to be expelled from the capital, and sent to Hekang as coolies to participate in the post-war reconstruction. It was equivalent to allowing You Huan to return to his hometown for burial in a disguised form, and a group of fellow party members were also dispatched to the other two cities. The rest of the officials involved in the incident, Qiu Yan, also gave them a lighter sentence as agreed on that day.

After Zhu Lingyu went back, he explained Qiu Yan's situation with Zhang Leyu, who had recovered and resumed teaching. This time, Xianmen and Fanchen were able to survive the disaster smoothly. It can be said that half of the credit should be attributed to Qiu Yan. Immortal sects shouldn't cross rivers and demolish bridges, but the rules set by the immortal sects have been strictly followed for many years without exception, and they have no position to violate the rules set by their ancestors.

Among the crowd, only Xi Guqing has been in charge of the Xuanqing Mountain School since a hundred years ago, and with Qiu Yan's current cultivation level, only Xi Guqing can abolish his spiritual veins, so Zhang Leyu discussed with the elders to hand over the decision-making power. In the hands of Xi Guqing.

At that time, Xi Guqing was helping the immortal sects that had been severely injured in the war to get back on track. He planned to retreat after all these matters were settled. I heard that Qiu Yan became a loose immortal when he became the leader. According to the sect rules, he could not be a The head of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect asked him to return the position of head, so he didn't say anything more.

The implication is naturally that Qiu Yan does not have to be subject to the rules of the sect to abolish the spirit veins. Now only Zhu Lingyu in the Xuanqing Mountain sect still has the physique of crossing the spirit, so Zhang Leyu asked Qiu Yan to extradite the head seal to Zhu Lingyu. For the time being, Zhang Leyu will take over the job on his behalf, and Zhu Lingyu will formally take over after a few more years of practice.

During these days when Zhu Lingyou returned to Xuanqing Mountain, he also heard that the disciples of our sect discovered Du Yuehua when they were assisting the Dayan army to expel the various tribes of Xirong, and they had already cleared him out of the sect.

When Qiu Yan heard him say this, he had just finished processing a batch of documents, and was pulling Zhu Lingyu to rest on the soft couch. He heard that he extradited the head seal to him on the spot.

It wasn't until this time that Zhu Lingyu really felt that the dust had settled. Looking back at all the hardships along the way, it was like an all-too-real dream. He was shocked, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help asking: "By the way, do you have any memories of seeing Baiyu City?"

Qiu Yan shook his head: "After so many years, his consciousness has completely dissipated. But the day I met you, I wonder if the ancestors had a celestial relationship, so the important memories were passed down through the blood and just happened to be inspired by the spiritual energy. I've seen two unfamiliar people negotiating in the palace, and now that I think about it, it's probably the ancestor and Bai Yucheng."

"When I think of Bai Yucheng and Mei Fangli, I can't help feeling that there are so many coincidences that made such a big mistake."

"Fortunately, there is no misunderstanding between my brother and I."

Zhu Lingyu thought to himself that when Qiu Yan accepted the inheritance behind his back, if he hadn't accidentally found out that he forced Qiu Yan to confess to him, he would never be so unreservedly honest with Qiu Yan now because of guilt. .

Thinking of this, he couldn't help remembering that Qiu Yan finally changed his strategy silently and chose the most dangerous path, and his heart suddenly surged, and he was about to mention a few words to him, when Qiu Yan fell down and lay down with his head on his back. Nesting on his lap, I took his hand to play with it and changed the subject by the way.

"Brother, what are your plans after this?"

This guy is really a little fox. It seems that he wants to turn the matter over completely. Zhu Lingyou can't help but slander. After thinking about it, he still hasn't exposed him. Let him pass the past. Now people are in his What's in front of you is the most important thing.

"Of course it's going back to Xuanqing Mountain." Zhu Lingyu replied.

"Brother, stay here for a few more days," Qiu Yan turned around and hugged Zhu Lingyou's waist, and said in a muffled voice, "I can't bear you."

Zhu Lingyou's sulking anger just now was vented all at once, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It's been a long time since he saw Qiu Yan's viscous vigor that was completely relaxed. Can't help but bring a little joy: "Of course I also want to be here with you, but I can't stay here forever."

"It's hard to end everything, but I have to separate from my brother."

"This is also your duty. I will come to see you every once in a while."

Qiu Yan hugged Zhu Lingyou's arm tightly, and buried his face to secretly express his inner dissatisfaction. Zhu Lingyou sighed helplessly, couldn't help but chuckled again, and stretched out his hand to caress his back.

"Senior brother, do you still remember that when you sent me back to Fu'an, you asked me to take you around Fu'an city?" Qiu Yan asked, looking at Zhu Lingyu again after being touched comfortably.

"Take me there now? Your identity is different now."

"It's nothing different, I'll always be the brother's Ayan."

Qiu Yan has always been a man of action, so he got up and pulled Zhu Lingyuan up, went back to the bedroom, changed into simple clothes, and went out of the palace out of luck.

After Zhu Lingyu returned to Xuanqing Mountain, she was left behind to clean up the aftermath of the Tianyuan City. It took nearly three months to come back. At this moment, the mourning period of the two emperors who passed away successively by Dayan has ended. General Ning's campaign against Xirong was also a perfect victory, and Fu'an has returned to its former prosperity.

This year has been the fifth year since the two fled from the National Teacher's Mansion in the middle of the night. When they came here three months ago to solve You Huan's rebellion, the two came here in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the scenery around them. It was the first time in four years Until today, the two of them can be considered to be able to enjoy themselves in Fu'an City in an open and aboveboard manner.

Today's Fu'an has not changed much from the Fu'an of four years ago, but the two people who revisit this place today are in a completely different state of mind than four years ago.

After four years, not only Qiu Yan's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes, from a down-and-out prince to sitting on the throne today, Zhu Lingyu has also grown from relying on Qi Zuo and Zhu Hongyan's little sword slender to a reliable senior brother today.In the past few years, he has been to many places and seen many prosperous cities, and he is no longer as curious and fresh about Fu'an as before, but this trip is happier than any of his previous trips.

Qiu Yan excitedly led Zhu Lingyu around Fu'an city, stopping at the street to watch jugglers wielding knives and sticks, tasting wine in restaurants, listening to stories in teahouses, and visiting those acrobats. Street vendors and pickers look at those novel and exquisite gadgets.

The two walked side by side in the busy street, and after a while, they saw a craftsman selling bamboo crafts. In front of the stall, there were various daily utensils such as bamboo flower baskets and various small bamboo leaves. The thing is that the little boy is weaving the bamboo grasshopper that the little boy wants. The two of them are very interested in this kind of skill, so they also leaned over and asked for two by name to watch.

Perhaps it was the blessings of the two people who had practiced good deeds for a long time, and they had a lot of customers coming to the stall just after they came to the stall.

While watching the man skillfully twisting the bamboo leaves with relish, Zhu Lingyu listened to the human voices around him with great interest.After a while, a pair of just-adult women came by, and their conversation aroused Zhu Lingyu's interest.

He looked in the direction the two came from, locked on to a small vendor, glanced at Qiu Yan and saw that he didn't seem to notice, thought for a while and asked: "A Yan, I seem to smell a sweet smell. Is there a snack shop?"

Chou Yan also sniffed the scent carefully, recalled for a while and said: "There seems to be one in front, brother is waiting for me here."

After saying that, Qiu Yan left, followed the scent to find a pastry shop and bought some of every kind of pastry, specially bought a lot of dragon beard cakes, and saw a stall selling candied haws on the side and also wrapped two. Only then did I go back with a big bag and a small bag.

At this moment, the things that the two of them wanted were also compiled. Zhu Lingyu had already taken the bamboo crafts and waited for him on the side of the road in the direction he left. Seeing this, Qiu Yan ran over excitedly and was about to tell him to buy it himself. After eating something delicious, Zhu Lingyu suddenly handed him a long strip wrapped in cloth.

Qiu Yan was taken aback: "This is..."

Zhu Lingyu pretended to be mysterious and said, "Open it and have a look."

Qiu Yan hastily put the snacks into the storage talisman, took the cloth bag with both hands, and vaguely guessed what it was through the touch, and couldn't help but his heartbeat quickened. When he unwrapped the cloth bag and looked at it, he was so shocked that he couldn't even breathe for a moment. Forgot all.

Inside is a delicately carved sandalwood hairpin.

"I suddenly remembered that you are going to be an adult soon. After thinking about it, I don't have anything to give you. I just saw this and thought it was suitable for you. It is an early coming-of-age gift for you. But the street stalls sell Naturally, it can't compare to the exquisiteness in the palace, do you like it? If you don't like it, I'll wait another day..."

"like."

Qiu Yan hurriedly said, holding the wooden hairpin in both hands as if he had found a treasure, and looked up at Zhu Lingyu, the love in his eyes almost overflowed, soaking the reflection in his eyes from beginning to end.

"I will cherish it forever."
