() Nangong Tong led Shuang'er on the safe road in the direction of South Lane 27, stepping on the snow and moving forward slowly.

They visited many places, but they never found a suitable gift, and Nangong Tong didn't realize until he stepped onto the road of peace that he didn't seem to know anything about Zhao Xue, didn't know what he liked, and didn't know what complex emotions were contained in those three-color heavy pupils.

In the past three years, there have been very few opportunities to meet, and he can see that Zhao Xue is not afraid of everyone like before, and always wants to turn away.

But if the agreement has already been made, it cannot be broken.

So he had to hold on to a bit of luck, thinking that he would take a look first, maybe he could see a suitable gift on the way.

Ping'an Road goes directly to the south gate, the avenue is dozens of zhang wide, the flow of people is scarce in the cold winter, it is said that in summer, this road will be crowded with people, because he connects the Chenghu Road in front of the Tianfu.

Suddenly, a procession of hundreds of people appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Now that Ping'an Road is covered with more than three fingers of snow, and it is approaching the end of the year, there are very few pedestrians, so the sudden appearance of the team naturally attracts all the attention.

In front were two rows of city guards dressed in silver armor and riding large snow dragon horses, one hundred and twenty people.

In the middle is a chariot pulled by a huge unicorn, surrounded by a translucent tent, and you can vaguely see the scene inside, but if you look closely, you can't see anything, only hazy.

When it was closer, there were more than a hundred snow god riders who had never entered the imperial city.

There was a pull of frost in his hand, he turned his head to look, but the little girl pointed to the team, and said excitedly: "Brother, look." ”

Nangong Tong looked over, hugged Shuang'er around his waist, stood in front of Shuang'er, and said, "Brother saw it." ”

Pedestrians probably knew that this was a noble person, so they took the initiative to avoid the two sides of the avenue.

The solemn procession slowly walked away from Ping'an Road, everyone stopped to watch, and when the team slowly disappeared from view, scattered pedestrians walked their own ways.

Who would it be that direction to Ying Tianfu? He actually needed to be escorted by the city guards and the snow god horse, how noble should this status be?

Nangong Tong shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and led Shuang'er to continue to the south of Lane 27.

As he walked, Nangong Tong suddenly asked Shuang'er, "Shuang'er, what did you say you should send to Brother Zhaoxue?"

"Is it okay for Shuang'er to give the candy to Brother Zhaoxue?" the little girl handed the candy in her arms to Nangong Tong.

Nangong Tong didn't reach out to pick it up, "It was given to Shuang'er by Sister Chang Hong and Brother Congfang, what kind of thing is this?"

"Oh. ”

The two continued to walk, walking and walking, and Nangong Tong suddenly stopped.

Frost looked at him suspiciously.

Nangong Tong said to himself: "Perhaps, I know what to send." ”

Shuang'er didn't know why, and asked, "What is my brother going to give?"

"Frost, let's go back. ”

Nangong Tong didn't answer, and directly pulled Shuang'er towards Yingtianfu Wenfu......

They came to the courtyard of the gentleman, the gentleman was resting in the listening wind pavilion, looking at the south, there was a game of chess in front of him, and the white piece was settled, and then the breeze blew, and a black piece appeared on the chessboard.

The young man screamed a few times, but the old man did not respond, just lowered his head and pondered.

Shuang'er said: "Brother, Mr. is playing chess with that person again." ”

Nangong Tong: "I don't know who that person will be." ”

In the past three years, Nangong Tong found that Mr. would go to Tingfeng Pavilion from time to time to play chess, and sit for a few days without eating or drinking, and would not come out until the end of the game.

They never knew who Mr. was working with, but three years later, it was no wonder.

Nangong Tong ran into the room, took out a box from the bedside, and then pulled Shuang'er again

Left.

......

The street at the entrance of South Lane 27 is called Baimen Street, because there are a total of 100 shops, and there are many people on weekdays, but when the New Year is approaching, there are only some children and scattered pedestrians.

There was a little girl in white squatting in the corner, pouting, looking at the black-clothed young man in front of him who was embarrassed to ask someone, and said, "Brother, if you don't ask again, Shuang'er will fall asleep." ”

The young man turned his head, touched his head, was a little embarrassed, and said, "I...... I can't really put it into words. ”

"Alas~" The little girl sighed.

My brother has been so shy for three years, just asking for directions.

Seeing the little girl sighing, the young man hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my brother will definitely ask." ”

The little girl sighed again, if it weren't for her brother, she wouldn't have gotten lost.

Time passed, the little girl's head fell asleep little by little, and the young man saw this, and his heart was also panicked, and in a hurry, he stretched out his hand to stop a young man who happened to be passing by.

The young man looked at him and wondered, "Is there something wrong?"

"Hello, I want to ...... with you in Xia Nangong Tong Ask...... Ask for directions. Nangong Tong, a young man in black, said stiffly.

"Where are you going?" said the young man.

Nangong Passage: "I want to go to the 27th Lane of Nancheng with my sister, who has wanted to go around a few times or come back here, I think it is...... Lost. ”

"Oh, you mean Peach Blossom Lane. ”

"No, it's Lane 27 of Nancheng. Nangong Tong hurriedly waved his hand.

The young man said, "Where does my family live, I don't know yet?" South Twenty-seventh Lane is now called Peach Blossom Lane, because there is a peach tree at the mouth of the alley, and there is a little gentleman telling stories under the tree. ”

"Really?"

"Naturally. The boy said, "Come with me." ”

When Nangong heard this, he said excitedly: "That...... Then thank you brother. ”

After saying that, he called on the frost and followed the young man's pace.

The young man looked at Shuang'er, smiled, and said, "Hey, your sister is so beautiful." ”

The little girl listened to the words of the brother who led the way and grinned.

When Nangong heard this, he was also happy in his heart, so he laughed along.

The young man led the two of them to walk a short distance, and suddenly said: "Introduce yourself, in Xia Linyi, the head of the family is at the mouth of the alley of South Twenty-seventh Lane, and the little gentleman is a neighbor." ”

"Really? He's my friend. ”

"Then it's really fate. ”

"yes. ”

The three of them faded away, and the sound of conversation faded away.

Coming to the mouth of South Lane 27, Nangong Tong looked at the peach tree and said, "This is South Lane 27?"

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, but now everyone is used to calling it Peach Blossom Lane." ”

After the words fell, Lin Yi raised his feet and stepped forward.

Nangong Tong wanted to keep up, but Shuang'er grabbed Nangong Tong.

Nangong Tong looked at her suspiciously, but she stared at the sky, her eyes widened, "Brother, look, chessboard!"

Nangong Tong looked up and only saw a gloomy sky, perhaps because it was approaching dark, the light was a little dim.

"Nope!"

Shuang'er looked at Nangong Tong suspiciously, and said, "Brother are you sure you didn't see it?" This chessboard is composed of a lot of qi, it is very large, covering the entire street, and each of the two corners has a child. ”

When Nangong heard this, he looked up again, but he still didn't see the chessboard in Shuang'er's mouth, so he had to shake his head and pull Shuang'er to follow Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took a few steps and saw that the two didn't follow, so he stopped and looked back, and waited for the two to follow before he said, "What did you say? Why didn't I?"

Aware of the chessboard?"

Shuang'er looked up and looked at it carefully for a moment again, and confirmed, "There really is a huge chessboard. ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Lin Yi asked, "I really didn't see it." ”

Nangong Tong also said: "I didn't see it either, but I ...... I believe in Shuang'er, since she was a child, she can see many things that we can't see, and she can even see the qi of heaven and earth with the naked eye. ”

As soon as the words came out, like thunder, Lin Yi was dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but the door at the mouth of the alley creaked.

The three of them looked over, and Zhao Xue walked out and said, "It's just right to come, the teacher's meal is just right." ”

Lin Yi hurriedly ran over and said, "Let's take a slow time to eat, you look at the sky, the little girl said that she saw a chessboard." ”

Zhao Xue looked at it, and then said to him: "It's not like you, in the past, you were very tight, how can you ...... Converted?"

"Bah, ......" Lin Yi glanced at him and said, "You just changed sex, just tell me if you saw it?"

Zhao Xue said: "I could only feel the flow of the qi of heaven and earth when it was just formed before, but now I can really see it, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, eat. Lin Yi nodded abruptly, and then walked into the courtyard.

Zhao Xue raised her forehead and smiled bitterly, then looked at Nangong Tong and Shuang'er, and said, "Welcome." ”

......

After the meal, Lin Yi returned home, Wang Zhi and Ye Sheng also left one after another, it was late, Nangong Tong and Shuang'er borrowed Zhaoxue's house for one night.

Nangong Tong handed the box to Zhao Xue and said, "I came to see you for the first time, and I don't know what you like, but after thinking about it, I think I'd better give this to you." ”

Zhao Xue took it and slowly opened it, but saw that it was a shabby booklet, and he turned the first page, and there were two words written on it: Qi Introduction

Zhao Xue said: "Taixuan induction?"

"Yes, it was given to me by my senior brother. ”

When Zhao Xue heard this, she put the booklet into the box, then handed it back to Nangong Tong, and said, "Since it was sent by your senior brother, it must be of great significance, and I can't accept it." ”

Nangong Tong refused: "I didn't say that I really wanted to give it to you, I suddenly thought on the Road of Peace that you and Senior Brother have the same pendant, so you must have a certain relationship." ”

Nangong Tong paused for a moment and continued: "I think you can go and get to know Senior Brother, he can really be your relative or something, although I grew up with Senior Brother since I was a child, but I still lack a little bit of personal description, so I will show you this, this is what Senior Brother carries with him, you can get to know him, so what I gave you is my Senior Brother." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xue was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I sometimes really think that your senior brother may really be my relative, but ...... I have something I have to do, and I won't leave the Imperial City until it's done. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Xue shook her head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Nangong Tong didn't speak, and looked at Zhao Xue quietly.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and Zhao Xue suddenly said: "Perhaps, it's not bad to know him, after all...... It's the people who influence you. ”

Saying that, Zhao Xue picked up the booklet and looked at it, seeing that there were some dark red marks on the booklet, she suddenly vomited, Nangong Tong hurriedly patted him on the back, and said with concern: "What's wrong?"

"This book smells. Zhao Xue said while vomiting.

Nangong Tong took it, sniffed it, and said, "Indeed, senior brother carries it all year round, and it is normal to have some old oil stains. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xue looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "You just smell this oil stain?"

"That's right!"

"I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure that in addition to the smell you mentioned, there's a smell of blood that I'm familiar with. ”
