Thousands of Mountains

Xin Shangyun didn't expect Qi Yanzhi to come to the door. He wanted to discuss with Qi Yanzhi after the court was over, but he was disgusted by the coercion and passive situation in the court. As a general in the army, he should be passionate Fighting everywhere, and ever since he lost his will many years ago and got involved in dark disputes, he felt more and more that he was not as good as a dog.

He used to be a wolf, but now his fangs are gradually lost, and he is just a dog beside the emperor who is no longer sharp and can barely guard the house.

As for the queen, every time he looks at the face that is completely similar to his dead wife, he often has illusions, and countless soft-heartedness and disobedience are caused by this. He looks forward to that face smiling happily, just like his dead wife when she was alive, with gentle smiles on her eyes Like water, but these years, only seeing that face showing more and more ferocious and crazy looks, Xin Shangyun knew in his heart that he had done too many unforgivable things for his own imagination, and he could not turn back.

Closing the door of the study, Qi Yanzhi saved himself all the detours and said bluntly, "Lord Xin, today you should not insist on tracking down the real culprit, but instead push Yuan Yuanshan's death to Nancheng Disaster."

Xin Shangyun was taken aback, "In this way, isn't it in line with the wishes of the prince and Liang Luoshu?"

Qi Yanzhi sighed slightly, and said, "If you want to track down the real culprit, how do you do it? Who will you hand over?" Qi Yanzhi stared at Xin Shangyun, frowning deeply.

Xin Shangyun said, "If conclusive evidence can be found..."

Qi Yanzhi waved his sleeves, "You can't find it." He said again, "Don't say that it is impossible to leave conclusive evidence. Even if you find it, what do you say? Why does the prince have any reason to kill a mere patrol battalion chief?" soldiers?"

Qi Yanzhi pressed again, and said, "If the emperor asks this question, how would you answer? Why did the crown prince want to kill, because the other party was the first to assassinate? Then ask the other party why the other party wanted to assassinate, because it was ordered by you and me?"

Xin Shangyun was stunned, Qi Yanzhi's voice was stern, "Master Xin, have you thought about the consequences?"

Xin Shangyun's expression was slightly angry, "Mr. Qi Ge, according to what you said, now we can only follow the prince's wishes?"

Qi Yanzhi sighed again, "Brother Xin still hasn't figured it out, we lost this round."

He also said, "The prince suddenly became ruthless. It was unexpected for you and me. I didn't expect to commit the taboo of underestimating the enemy. Yuan Yuanshan is insignificant. If the prince wants to kill him, he will kill him. It really does not constitute a threat to him. On the contrary, he can be borrowed." This is a big fuss, and the dirty water is poured back on you and me."

Xin Shangyun raised his eyes and said coldly, "It was poured on me, not you, Mr. Qi."

"Do you still need to divide us now?"

Xin Shangyun's expression darkened, and he said for a while, "Now the crown prince is no longer an ignorant child, Mr. Qi needs to be more prudent in his actions, such reckless assassinations may be inconvenient in the future."

Suddenly thought of something, and said, "Yin Cen, the guard next to the crown prince, is very skilled. Liang Luoshu, an old fox, actually used this to let this person enter the court. Old Qi Ge, you will have someone to deal with in the future." After all, he looked up and squinted.

Qi Yanzhi let out a muffled laugh, and said, "It's true that I was negligent this time, and let the other party take advantage of the loopholes one after another. A guard, who is capable of both literature and martial arts, can get on the horse when he gets the chance. I will investigate this person carefully." Looking at Xin Shangyun again, he said, "About Shen Cang, are you just letting yourself go?"

Xin Shangyun was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect Qi Yanzhi to be concerned about Shen Cang again at this moment, and said, "Is this the meaning of the old man or the empress's meaning?"

"The empress is naturally concerned, and I am also very concerned about your thoughts, Brother Xin." Qi Yanzhi said.

"Then trouble Qi Ge to tell my mother that if my mother has a solution, she can use it on Shen Cang. As for me," Xin Shangyun looked at Qi Yanzhi, "a father and son for a day, and a father and son for life. As an enemy, I will not move him."

Qi Yanzhi nodded, "Yunye is about to become the husband-in-law of the Qiu family, and since Yun Jianqing has already expressed his gratitude to Sheng's kindness, Shen Cang must be in the same boat."

"He's just a pawn, so don't worry about it." Xin Shangyun said again.

Qi Yanzhi took a sip of tea, sat for a while and said goodbye.

Yin Cen did not expect that Shen Cang would come to him. Since he entered the Prince's Mansion, Yin Cen has been looking for Shen Cang every time. With Shen Cang's skills, it is not difficult to sneak into the Prince's Mansion without anyone noticing, but he has never done so. , but today made a very slight noise on the roof of Yin Cen in the middle of the night.

Yin Cen became suspicious. Seeing that Chen Ji had fallen asleep, he put on his outer shirt and went into the yard. He saw a familiar figure squatting on the roof.

The moonlight was not clear, and the treetops just covered the figure of this person, but Yin Cen recognized it with just one glance.

Not without surprise in my heart, but I also expected Shen Cang's reason.

Yin Cen swept his body up to the roof, but as soon as he left, Shen Cang got up too, and drifted into the distance like a cloud of black mist. Yin Cen chased the black mist, densely packed in the capital. On the roof of the house, it flickered like a dragonfly on water.

Unsurprisingly, the two fell back into the courtyard of the old house in the alley.

With his hands behind his back, Shen Cang turned his back to Yin Cen, and asked in a cold voice, "Why did you enter the court?"

"Ask knowingly." Yin Cen was not polite.

"You have to guard him!" Shen Cang turned around with a rare expression of dissatisfaction.

"Just staying by his side as a bodyguard to protect his personal safety is not considered guarding." Yin Cen said.

"Without you, he would have died in this assassination." Shen Cang said.

"You're right, but from now on, there will be less and less visible clumsy assassinations, but there will be more and more invisible knives. What I have to do is to block those knives." Yin Cen looked at Shen Cang, saying every word.

Shen Cang was a little silent.

Yin Cen said again, "He has grown up. As a prince, what he has to do is not something that I, a bodyguard, can participate in. To really protect him, I want to enter his real world, do you understand?"

"Is it worth it?" Shen Cang didn't know why he asked such a sentence.

Yin Cen was slightly taken aback, then laughed dumbfounded, and said, "Brother Shen has spent 20 years as a general, is it worth it?"

Shen Cang was taken aback, twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied, "It's not for the general, it's just my personal choice."

Yin Cen nodded lightly, "It's very good, it's my personal choice."

Shen Cang thought for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid the general will not agree."

Yin Cen laughed again, "Is it important whether the general agrees or not?"

"Pingshan, he is not a bad person, he is always your father."

"Brother Shen, you said this last time, I remember," Yin Cen looked at Shen Cang, "General, he put down the Japanese pirates, and I also regard him as a good person who benefits one side, but the word father is too unfamiliar to me , I can't say these two words, and I can't bring any emotion from the bottom of my heart."

Yin Cen continued, "I protected Chen Ji because he was only ten years old that day, and reminded me of Yin Yan. Even if this was what the general meant, I couldn't say no. Now that Chen Ji has grown up, so do I, General What I don't know is that I never listen to others, I only listen to myself."

Shen Cang was silent, he knew that he couldn't force the person in front of him, he just felt that the fate was so similar, he taught another self, a person who only wanted to follow his heart, all freedom and unfreedom, giving and seeking, all came from his own guy.

Finally, he looked at Yin Cen with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Ji walked in the city with Yin Cen and Wu Ye'er. The three of them looked at several houses, but they couldn't make a decision.

Yin Cen has no requirements on where to live, as long as there is a house and a bed, Chen Ji can say a lot of picky words about every house. It's too old, the eaves are full of bird's nests, it's not clean; the gate of the house faces west, so it's bad feng shui, unlucky...

Even Wu Ye'er babbled along, indeed, it's not good.

Yin Cen lost his temper and looked at the two of them, "How about I still live in the Prince's Mansion?"

Chen Ji smiled and nodded, Wu Ye'er jumped three feet high.

Yin Cen slapped them both with a smile, "The seventh grade sesame official lives in the prince's mansion, I don't want to die."

Alas, I'm really sad, reluctant, and have to let go.

The three of them continued to wander around the city, and unknowingly came to Pai'er Hutong.

Yin Cen and Wu Ye'er were slightly stunned, and stopped at the entrance of the alley, but Chen Ji went straight in. The traffic outside disappeared the moment they entered the alley. With pink flowers and green grass, it is quiet and elegant.

Chen Ji wondered, "I have never been to this place before. I don't know that there is such a quiet place in Beijing so close to the imperial palace."

Both Yin Cen and Wu Ye'er remained silent, and had to say how Shen Cang found this place at that time. Chen Ji pointed to the front and said, "Look, is the house in front of you listed as for sale?"

The two looked up, and suddenly found that the old house Shen Cang bought was hung with a lantern with the word "for sale". Yin Cen and Wu Ye'er looked at each other with surprise in each other's eyes, and Chen Ji ran up quickly and knocked on the door.

Yin Cen's chest jumped violently, and he was afraid that it would be Shen Cang who opened the door, but he saw an old man with a hunched body open the door and welcomed the three of them in.

The old man told them that the owner of the family decided to return to his hometown in Kansai to take care of himself, so he sold the house in Beijing.

Chen Ji walked around the house with a smile on his face, the house was not big, there were only two entrances, front and back, Yin Cen and Wu Ye'er were also walking around, they were very familiar with the tables, chairs, plants and trees here.

Here, Shen Cang taught Wu Ye'er to practice kung fu, smashed countless stone tables and chairs, and a sunken bluestone floor in the courtyard was also given by Wu Ye'er.

Yin Cen recuperated his wounds here, and then he often met here with Shen Cangye, but now facing the house under the blue sky and broad daylight, he can vaguely see some strangeness.

Chen Ji looked around and couldn't find any faults, so he asked Yin Cen, "Brother Pingshan, do you still like it?"

Yin Cen replied with a smile, "As long as Ah Yue likes it."

With joy on Chen Ji's face, he asked the old man, "What is the price of this house?"

The old man reported a number, Yin Cen turned around quickly, and took a breath behind his back, this brother Shen really dared to speak.

Wu Ye'er also confirmed it again in disbelief, "How much?!"

The old man said the same price again, and Wu Ye'er blurted out, "Is this price enough to buy three houses in the capital?"

In a blink of an eye, Chen Ji quickly said behind him, "Then it's settled, we want this house."

Yin Cen turned around and said anxiously, "I don't even talk about the price..."

Chen Ji said seriously, "Hurry up, or you will be snatched away."

Yin Cen was helpless, "For this price, the whole capital is waiting for us to come..."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Ji paid the old man a deposit, and agreed that in half an hour, someone would bring the rest of the money.

Yin Cen's heart really hurts, brother Shen became more and more cruel, and his own people will not let go...

The next day, Chen Ji called all the family members and servants of the Prince's Mansion to go to Yin Cen's new house to remove dust and clean it. By the time of the setting sun, the whole house had taken on a new look. There were freshly transplanted seasonal flowers and green plants in the courtyard, and the hall was clean and bright. There was a big strong bed in the bedroom, and Chen Ji jumped on it himself, making sure that it would not collapse or crack, and ordered someone to lay out thick, warm and soft incense quilts, which looked like a good day to live.

At night, Wu Ye'er went to buy some wine, meat and vegetables and came back. The three of them had a drink and laughed at the stone table in the courtyard. The moon was on the treetops, and the fragrance was floating. After two or three cups fell, Chen Ji's face turned pink again. He raised his glass, "Brother Pingshan, starting tomorrow, we will meet in the court hall."

Yin Cen also raised his glass, and the two of them had four bright eyes. Yin Cen said, "Don't worry about the wind coming from all directions, we will stand still. In the future, there will be you and me," and raised the wine glass to Wu Ye'er, Wu Ye'er Also filled up the wine, Yin Cen continued, "With brothers, there is friendship, and there is no fear in everything."

After all, the three of them clinked glasses, raised their heads and finished.

The bright moon and the breeze, the youthful spirit, nothing more than this.

Volume one, finished.

The author has something to say:

Finally finished the first volume

It feels like the curtain has just been pulled

Yin Cen and Chen Ji are growing up

My heart is with them, too
