"Think, I'm here, don't be rude. The man first reprimanded casually, then put his hands behind his back and looked at Gu Hongyuan with a smile, "Your Highness, my name is 'Xun'." It's a coincidence that we're here today, but I hope you'll remember the name, because we'll see you again in the future. ”

Then, Xun glanced at Cassi, and casually thought, took out two charms from his sleeve and crushed them in his palm, and a thick fog suddenly rose around the two of them.

The mist blurred Gu Hongyuan's vision. At this time, he heard Xun's voice coming from the fog: "Your Highness, on the day of goodbye, Xun will have a great gift." ”

Soon after, the fog gradually dissipated, and the two of them were gone.

"Pretending to be a ghost. Gu Hongyuan commented.

At this time, he saw Hengyu looking at him with extremely complicated eyes. He was about to do something, but he heard Hengyu ask, "Are you going to succeed to the throne?"

He didn't answer, but took one last look at the top of the snowy mountain, where the snow was still dazzling. "He is leaving, and he is a seedling.

The line is vigorous, and the center is shaky.

Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. ”

In the pavilion, a white-robed man played the piano and sang. It was an old piano, the body was mottled, scarred, most of the paint had fallen off, and there were even scorch marks at the end of the piano, and I could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a "Ze" word engraved on it. Fortunately, the sound of the piano is still clear, accompanied by the man's desolate singing.

A young silver-haired dog demon stood on the edge of the gazebo, listening quietly. The dog demon was dressed in a raven green robe, with a folding fan pinned to his waist, and a wine cup in his hand, but his eyes were covered with a layer of white silk.

The pavilion is surrounded by spring, flowers and trees, and swallows come and go in a dark fragrance. Suddenly, the wind blew, and countless fallen flowers flew away, and even one fell into the wine cup, floating up and down in the wine.

The wild goose heard the sound of flower petals dotting on the wine, so he leaned in to smell the wine cup. The pungent aroma of wine, the sweetness of flowers, two different smells are intertwined and wafted into the nose, which makes people feel particularly happy.

So he said, "Jingwu, let's change the tune." ”

He thought, in this situation, maybe he shouldn't listen to "Youyoucang, who is this".

When the man named "Jingwu" heard this, he got up and bowed halfway, only to see that he was dressed in white, wearing a plain white mask on the upper half of his face, but the eyes exposed had a very deep pupil color, the tails of the eyes were long and curved, and the eyeliner was extremely beautiful. It's just that at this moment, his eyes are half-down, which makes people feel cold and detached.

"I wonder what the adults want to hear?" Jingwu asked.

Yan Sheng was silent for a moment, but suddenly remembered another thing: "How long have you been coming to my house?"

Jingwu said: "Counting today, it is exactly three years. ”

Yan Sheng slowly put down the wine cup: "I have a doubt." ”

Jingwu made another half-salute: "I am willing to solve my doubts for adults." ”

Yan Sheng said: "There are musicians who seek wealth and nobility, those who fight for the future, those who change their reputation, and those who want to live in peace. But you are the only one who has played music for me for three years, but you seem to have no temperature and no demand. He paused, "I can't figure it out." ”

Jingwu laughed silently, and said the key in one sentence: "Adults don't believe in Jingwu." ”

Yan Sheng thought for a while and said, "You are serious." I'm just confused. ”

He was still thinking about something, but suddenly he heard a familiar footstep. So he said to Jingwu, "You should step back first." ”

Gu Hongyuan followed the smell of geese. But when he really walked into this courtyard of spring, and saw the sound of geese staying in this pavilion from a distance, the past events of fifty years ago couldn't help but come to mind.

The sound of geese really can't be put down. He thought.

At this time, he saw the white-robed violinist saluting the sound of the geese, and then slowly withdrew from the pavilion and walked towards the outside of the courtyard. Gu Hongyuan had never seen this person, but he also knew that there were many musicians in Yansheng Mansion, so he didn't care about him when he passed by.

Yan Sheng sat down in front of the piano case, "looked" at him from a distance, and said, "It's been a long time." ”

Gu Hongyuan strode into the pavilion, sat on the opposite side of the goose, and said straight to the point: "What did you call me to?"

Yan Sheng reached out and stroked the old mottled piano and said, "I thought you could guess." ”

Gu Hongyuan frowned: "She asked you to persuade me?"

The "she" in Gu Hongyuan's mouth is naturally the Lady of the Western Kingdom, Ling Yue Xianji. Since the incident of fifty years ago, the mother and son, who were not very close, have become even more estranged. Gu Hongyuan has been traveling outside, while Lady Xianji has been staying in the deep palace to manage government affairs. I haven't seen each other for 50 years.

Seeing this, Yan Sheng smiled: "It's a good thing that Madam sent a message to let you succeed to the throne." Why refuse?"

Without waiting for Gu Hongyuan to speak, Yan Sheng said again: "You still can't let it go." ”

Gu Hongyuan lowered his head and looked at his waist, where there were three knives hanging. In addition to raw and shattered teeth, there is also a knife without a sheath. The knife was handled by ebony, and the blade was shiny, and it didn't seem to be anything special when it looked at it alone, but Gu Hongyuan's gaze lingered on it for a long time.

He thought, there seemed to be nothing to prove that she ever existed, except for the Moon Shadow.

If he lets go, who will remember her.

So he said, "Honorable Throne, are you not tempted?"

Yan Sheng laughed again: "Do you want my cousin to bring you the crown?" After a pause, he stopped laughing: "I did kill you with a high temperature, but not because of the dignity of the throne, but because of the hatred of Yan Yu. It's just that although Yanyu died because of you, it was not killed by you after all. And now you and I have tasted the bitter fruit...... In my opinion, there are no regrets about this matter, and it can be closed. ”

Gu Hongyuan was silent for a moment: "Rin Sand City, you have governed it very well. ”

Yan Sheng said: "A person who can be a good lord of a city may not be able to be a good king of a country." ”

Yan Sheng paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Have you seen Madame recently?"

"Not yet. ”

Yan Sheng nodded: "I think so, otherwise you wouldn't have said such things." ”

Gu Hongyuan was silent for a moment, but still asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"Madame is tired. Yan Sheng sighed, "I am only the lord of a city, and there are still many times when I am in a dilemma, not to mention that Madame has to take care of a huge western country, and there are far more hardships and difficulties than you think." What happened back then, Mrs. was also helpless. ”

Gu Hongyuan lowered his eyes: "I didn't blame her." ”

"Then let's go back. Yan Sheng said, "After all, you are Madame's only son." ”

Gu Hongyuan was silent, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "If it's you, what should you do?"

The sound of geese caressing the piano, and the marks of knives and axes on it always made him extremely distressed. He couldn't help but imagine how this piano and its owner had been wandering and wandering in troubled times, but they never wanted to come back.

Madame, he thought, had really given him a problem. Even he himself never let go, but he wanted to persuade Gu Hongyuan to open his heart. No matter how he answered, the answers seemed shallow and weak.

He thought for a long time, and then replied, "You shouldn't ask me, but her." ”

Yan Sheng did not mention her name, but both of them knew who the so-called "she" was.
