Weicheng snow

Same as Yi Qingchen's estimated time, the southward march was scheduled to depart from Weicheng ten days later.Because the high-ranking members of many sectarian families did not bring the main force of their sects to Weicheng, they adopted the method of marching and gathering at the same time, completing the rendezvous of all teams before reaching Lingnan, and then entering the southern border together.

The news was brought back by Jiang Zhige who went out to buy medicine.

At that time, Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi packed their bags, and planned to go back to Shen Sheng and Shen Yi's room to ask him what they would like to have for dinner, but before entering the room, they saw Jiang Zhige standing alone in the room Outside, there were bursts of silver bell-like laughter coming from inside the room. This laughter was neither from Shen Yi, nor could it be from Shen Sheng. Yi Qingchen heard it familiar, and when he got closer, he saw the person whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Qiao Niang was holding a basket, standing next to the corpse, chatting and laughing with Shen Yi.

Shen Sheng noticed that Yi Qingchen came back, and immediately looked up, Qiao Niang followed Shen Sheng and turned her head, seeing Yi Qingchen, she walked up to him in two or three steps, holding a pipe in one hand, and hugging her chest with the other, like Yi Qingchen. Chen smiled and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Yi. I heard that you are in poor health, but lately the building is too busy to leave and can't come to visit. Recently, they have started to pack their luggage, so I have some spare time. I specially made some cakes and flowers to make amends."

There was a mellow fragrance coming from the bamboo basket, Yi Qingchen sniffed it, and was full of praise, Qiao Niang giggled a few times after being praised, then looked up at Hua Shenchi, "This... Is it the legendary doctor Shenhua Shenchi playboy?"

Hua Shenchi nodded slightly, "It's just a false name, and it won't be anymore in the future."

Qiao Niang gave a strange "Huh?", and twirled the pipe on her fingertips, but she didn't ask any more questions, she just unloaded the bamboo basket and handed it to Yi Qingchen, "Qiao Niang, I just arrived not long ago. I want to spend more time with you, Young Master, to catch up with you, but there are some big people who can't be offended in the building, so I can't leave for too long, so I have to go back first."

Yi Qingchen was struggling a bit under the weight of the heavy basket in his hand, Hua Shenchi stepped forward to take it for Yi Qingchen, Qiao Niang could see clearly, she showed a clear smile, and turned her head thoughtfully Looking at Shen Yi in the room, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "The second prince once drank in the peach grove outside the city, looked at the moon and chanted "Yiren". Yi Fenghan, these are the old friends of the second prince, if you are free, can you help Qiaoniang and persuade me? If she really fell ill, I can't bear the guilt of Qiaoniang."

After all, Yi Qingchen, who was as concentric as a mirror, smiled meaningfully, and turned around gracefully.

Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi took Qiaoniang to the gate of the courtyard and watched Qiaoniang leave.

On the way back, Yi Qingchen couldn't help being a little more curious about Shen Yi and Ruying's affairs, so she tried to ask Hua Shenchi, but she didn't expect him to say anything, but Hua Shenchi actually said it seriously "Ruying, the royal family was originally arranged under Shen Sheng's name. He is a prince, rebellious by nature, disobedient to discipline, no one dares to offend him, Shen Sheng also has a headache. Ayi has always been meddling, Hearing that Shen Sheng had such a troublesome disciple, he asked the elder for it, and put him under his subordinates to talk to him about the principles of life all day long..."

Yi Qingchen wanted to continue listening, but Hua Shenchi stopped abruptly, "I only know this. I was still in the tomb at that time, and Shen Sheng could only get the news from the outside world, so what I knew was not clear."

Yi Qingchen nodded clearly, "Then I'll find Shen Sheng to ask some more questions."

The corridor twists and turns, making the journey back to Shen Sheng and Shen Yi's room three times longer, but even standing in the corridor from a distance, Yi Qingchen can still see Shen Sheng talking to Shen Yi in the room. What.

Shen Yi just lowered her head and silently dissected the corpse, no matter what Shen Sheng said, she didn't respond at all, Shen Sheng couldn't help but shook his head, and turned to look at the pastries sent by Hua Chenchi on the coffee table .

Seeing that Shen Sheng only took off his gloves but didn't wash his hands, he was going to get those pastries, Yi Qingchen hurried over the fence, rushed into the house with the shortest distance and snatched the pastry box, worriedly said, "Wash your hands! You touched the corpse just now Bar?"

Shen Sheng smiled guiltyly, and argued, "This corpse is charred, just like cooked pork. In a sense, it's all food, right..." As soon as the words fell, Hua Shen Chi walked into the room unhurriedly, heard the words and glanced at Shen Sheng, then looked at the corpse lightly, "Do you want to try it?"

Shen Sheng hurriedly waved his hands, and washed his hands as if fleeing.

There is a dead body being dissected in the room, if it is an ordinary person, it will definitely not be able to eat, but Yi Qingchen doesn't care much, facing no matter how many corpses, he can deal with it calmly, this may be It is all due to the childhood experience and the group of Lingshan disciples around him.

Yi Qingchen touched the lid of the brocade box distressedly. The box was cold and cold, and he opened it. There were some pastries on the top layer, but they were all in the shape of dumplings for some reason. Yi Qingchen stared blankly for a moment, and suddenly Losing the desire to taste it, he complained, "Is it popular to make ingot-style cakes this year?" He just put the brocade box back on the table and sat silently.

Hua Chenchi was sitting beside him, and he caught a glimpse of the cakes in the brocade box out of the corner of his eye, his eyes darkened, and just at this moment when Shen Sheng came back after washing his hands, Hua Shenchi said to him, "You guys share it. .”

Hearing this, Shen Sheng happily wiped the water from his hands on his clothes, held up the brocade box, "Really?"

Hua Shenchi nodded.

Shen Sheng took the brocade box and walked out the door, calling out the names of the disciples who accompanied him to help in Weicheng. Shen Yi, who would never miss dim sum, still dissected the corpse indifferently. Chen held his head in thought for a moment, then asked, "Ayi, don't you want to eat some?"

Shen Yi was taken aback by Yi Qingchen's call, she was obviously in a daze just now, when she heard this, she looked up at the empty coffee table, and hurriedly got up to chase Shen Sheng, "Hey, Shen Sheng, wait! Leave me a Peach stuffed!"

"Why both of them ran out..." Yi Qingchen smiled helplessly, "I still want to ask about Ruying."

Hua Shenchi heard the words and said indifferently, "Do you want to match them?"

Yi Qingchen lowered his head in thought, and after a while, shook his head, "Impossible, Ruying is the prince, to be honest, I don't think the eldest princess will be able to succeed to the throne in the current situation, if the eldest princess can't, then the throne must be like this Ying's... Ah Yi really hates clinging to the rich and powerful, right?"

Hua Shenchi nodded, and Yi Qingchen said again, "And I don't think Ruying is going to give up the throne, the two of them probably have nothing to do..."

"Huh? Young Master, what are you talking about?" Shen Yi walked into the room biting a piece of snack, and just happened to meet the end of Yi Qingchen's last sentence, so she asked Yi Qingchen inarticulately, "Are you worried about the eldest princess?" The throne?"

Yi Qingchen changed his mind and said, "Yes, although there is indeed a precedent for the empress to succeed to the throne, there are still voices of opposition after all. In addition, the Eldest Princess is weak, so it may be difficult."

Shen Yi chewed the pastry and said, "There is nothing to worry about. The throne is just a position. No matter who takes it, the eldest princess is still a member of the royal family and enjoys the blessings that ordinary people cannot enjoy. Why do you need me to replace her?" Worry about it?" Putting the last piece into his mouth, he put on his gloves and continued to dissect the corpse.

Yi Qingchen was silenced by Shen Yi's words, it can be seen that she really rejects the royal family.It's not that I haven't persuaded before, and refuting hurts my feelings. I couldn't think of what else to say for a while, and after sitting for a while, I planned to go back to the room to rest.After all, in the following days, at least in the ten days before the march, he really had nothing to do, all he could do was to take good care of himself so as not to drag others down on the southward journey.

As soon as Yi Qingchen got up, Hua Shenchi got up, and Yi Qingchen turned to look at Hua Shenchi, "Are you going to rest too?"

Hua Shenchi only said indifferently, "Together with you."

As soon as the words were finished, Shen Yi let out a long sigh behind him, no matter how he heard it, there was a kind of helplessness of "I can't help my mother".Yi Qingchen pretended not to hear it, and led Hua Shenchi back to his room. Before pushing the door, he thought a lot, but still told Hua Shenchi deliberately, "Just rest, don't mess around."

Hua Shenchi looked quietly at Yi Qingchen's back, seeing that he didn't answer, Yi Qingchen refused to push the door, and it took a long while before he choked out the word "good".

Regardless of Yi Qingchen's willingness or unwillingness, since he brought the Huachen Pond into the house, he has been mentally prepared to be tossed all night, but it is still early, and the lights are just on, and Yi Qingchen has plans When it was time, I went to the back kitchen to boil some bath water, poured it into the wooden barrel behind the screen in the room, and the water in the room was steaming for a while, and the steam did not disperse. Yi Qingchen tried the water temperature and found it just right, so he sank with the flowers Chi said, "You wash it first, one hand is inconvenient, maybe I can help you wipe your body."

Hua Shenchi really took off his clothes obediently, when the last inner lining fell to his feet, the cut on his right arm was exposed to Yi Qingchen's sight, Yi Qingchen stared at it silently for a moment, without saying much.When Hua Shenchi buried his body in the water, he went to get some saponins and washed Hua Chenchi's hair.

Hua Shenchi's hair has always been very long, but it is basically kept above the knees, and it is usually tied casually with a headband, but it is very shiny and smooth to the touch. Shen Chi said, "This time we are going south, we have an appointment, no one is allowed to rush ahead."

Hua Shenchi gave a soft "hmm", and Yi Qingchen said again, "When the war is over, are we really going to southern Xinjiang? I remember that the house at my house has been destroyed for a long time. There are no things, and there is no human habitation for a hundred miles..."

Hua Shenchi said, "It's just the two of us, it's pretty good."

Rub the hair with soap locusts to get foam, then rinse it with warm water, Yi Qingchen carefully waited on Hua Shenchi's long hair until it was thoroughly washed, then sat up straight with a sense of satisfaction, showing a smile on his face. With an expression of seeking praise, he stared straight at Hua Chenchi, Hua Chenchi could faintly smell a faint fragrance, and only chuckled, "It's a good wash, it can be washed for a lifetime."

Yi Qingchen smiled happily when he heard the words, Hua Chenchi stared at Yi Qingchen's smile for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to ask me something else?" After speaking, Yi Qingchen The smile froze on his face, and after a long while, he gradually let go of the smile, and looked at Hua Shenchi helplessly, "I really can't hide it from you."

Hua Chenchi stepped out of the barrel, wiped his body with a towel, and did not ask Yi Qingchen to help, so Yi Qingchen could only stand aside and watch, until when he was getting dressed, Hua Chenchi showed some clumsy movements, Just stepped forward to give a hand.After Hua Shenchi put on the clean clothes, Yi Qingchen said, "...Actually, there is no Xiaoqian among those corpses, right?"

Yi Qingchen held back this question in his heart for a whole day, he had this feeling when he saw those charred corpses, those corpses could not bring him a sense of familiarity, although there was no basis, but it gave him a glimmer of hope .He knew that with Hua Shenchi's ability, he should be able to see some clues, but too many things happened that day, and Hua Shenchi's sudden confession made him feel a little lost, obviously it was a very good atmosphere, if If Murong Qian is mentioned, Hua Shenchi must be very disappointed.

He wanted to hold back for a while longer until the results of Shen Yi's autopsy came out, but Hua Shenchi sensed what was on his mind earlier, and asked straightforwardly, and Yi Qingchen also said truthfully, After finishing speaking, he felt a little regretful, clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and silently lowered his head.

Hua Shenchi walked to the bed and sat down, looked at Yi Qingchen, and said calmly, "There is indeed no Murong Qian's body there."

Yi Qingchen raised his head in a daze, and Hua Shenchi sighed, "If I don't ask, are you going to wait until Ayi checks out the results?" , Hua Shenchi said again, "Next time, if you have something on your mind, just say it. It doesn't matter about Murong Qian. I know he is your younger brother. It's really strange that you can laugh so happily after he died not long ago. …”

"Is that so..." Yi Qingchen reflected on his actions throughout the day, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, Hua Shenchi asked again, "Now that you know, what are you going to do?"

Yi Qingchen held his chin and thought for a moment, the answer in his heart became more and more obvious, "As long as he is still alive, that's fine, as long as he is alive, I can persuade him to come back..."

Hua Shenchi respected Yi Qingchen's decision, did not express his opinion, just patted his thigh with his left hand, and said lightly, "Come here."

Yi Qingchen blinked in amazement, struggled for a moment, and struggled, "I haven't taken a shower yet, I'm going to boil some hot water..."

Hua Shenchi refused to give in, staring straight at Yi Qingchen's eyes, there was a hint of blaming Yi Qingchen for concealing and deceiving himself, Yi Qingchen felt guilty, so he could only hold the corner of his clothes tightly and move slowly When he arrived at the bedside, following Hua Shenchi's order, he took off his boots, put them around the latter's neck, put his chin on his shoulders, and said with a red face, "This way you should be happier... ..."

Hua Shenchi's deep laughter came from beside his ears, "Very good."
