After leaving the Tongxi Palace, Qiu Zhi was not in a hurry to return to the palace of King Zhen, which symbolizes the highest authority and status of the kingdom, and he has not stepped into it for eleven years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qiu Zhi walked unhurriedly for a hundred meters along the long straight and wide black stone street, facing left, right, and left, and so on, for about seven or eight hundred meters, and finally stood in front of a majestic palace.

The golden glazed tiles reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight, enveloping everything a little unreal, Qiu Zhi gathered his sleeves, covered the cocoons left by years of practice between his fingers, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

On the top of the one hundred and eight white jade steps, there is the Zhesheng Hall with purple pillars and golden beams and carved jade, and among the gilded carved dragon thrones in the hall, there was a king who looked down on the world. At the bottom right of the throne is the position of the crown prince, Lin Yiran, who is kind-hearted and elegant, always gently talks with the honorable kings and important envoys of various countries, polite and courteous, neither humble nor arrogant.

Amber wine, jasper, golden foot bottle, jade plate, food is picturesque, wine is like a spring, Luo clothes fluttering, ringing bells and chimes, the scene of singing and dancing seems to still linger in front of you, but now the person who points out the country has been replaced by Lin Tantan, who is decisive in killing.

The light is fleeting, the years are like water, and the woman's beautiful face has not changed at all, as if frozen eleven years ago, just like his memory, frozen in that bleak and cold autumn day.

On that day, Qiu Zhi witnessed Gu Liuying's surprise and panic when Lin Yiran vomited blood, and knew that Lin Yiran's poisoning had nothing to do with Gu Liuying. There are some things that do not require any evidence, and the onlooker can see the fire. Gu Liuying, this fairy-like but cold-hearted woman, will certainly be sad for Lin Yiran's sudden death, but the most important thing is that no one in this world will be like Lin Yiran, who is a prince, but she tolerates and pampers a woman who snubs her every day. Losing Lin Yiran, Gu Liuying lost the most reliable umbrella in her life, and also lost the honorable position at her fingertips, not to mention, she still has Lin Yiren.

Compared with Lin Yiran's love for Lin Yiren, Gu Liuying's concern for her son is more reflected in the harsh scrutiny. She wouldn't hug and kiss the pink-carved child like other mothers, but would just push him away again and again, coldly accusing him of many wrongs. Lin Yiren and Gu Liuying were not close, but Qiu Zhi had no doubt that Gu Liuying would be the most suitable woman to be in charge of the harem.

However, in the autumn of the fifteenth year of Jin He, Emperor Huan Lin Chengxian suddenly buried himself in the Nine Xuan Caves, but everything changed dramatically.

In order to rescue Emperor Huan, Lin Yiran wanted to forcibly open the Jiuxuan Cave, but unexpectedly, the gravel rolled down, Lin Yiran was smashed, and his injuries worsened and he died three days later. The third prince Lin Qitan ascended the throne with the support of Yuan Muhuai, Xia Jipheasant, Song Yu, Gui Shinan and other important ministers, and the second prince Lin Mingxian and the fourth prince Lin Chunji were deposed to Yuanjiang because they coveted the throne, and only the seventh prince Lin Juyao was named King Zhe.

The country has changed hands, and the country is still the same country, but for Gu Liuying and Lin Yiren, they are on the cusp.

The identity of the son of the crown prince during the Jin and He periods made the Lin Yi people face a more terrible situation than being deposed to the distant frontier. Just when Qiu Zhi swore a blood alliance with the secret guards in the mansion to take the Lin people away from the mountains, something unthinkable happened. Lin Qitan not only let go of Gu Liuying's mother and son, but also ignored the opposition of the courtiers in the second year of the Wu Yuan Dynasty, accepted Gu Liuying as Qin Guifei, and named Lin Yiren as the king of Xuan.

Since then, Qiu Zhi has known that before the Lin Yi people grow up and have enough power, Gu Liuying is the only one who can save the lives of the Lin Yi people. However, why did Lin Yiran pull the tearful Lin Yiren on that day and told him to stay away from Gu Liuying?

A row of palace guards in golden armor and spears approached from a distance. Qiu Zhi retracted his chaotic thoughts, like an inconspicuous humble subordinate, bowed his head and shoulders to avoid the side.

These soldiers with feather arrows hanging on their waists, under the control of Qiao Xinning, the commander of the Yulin Army, are well-trained, brave and good at fighting, and have strong martial arts.

Tread, trample...... The neat and uniform footsteps, agile and vigorous posture, the same as Qiu Zhi's impression eleven years ago, everywhere the Yulin Army passed, there was a fierce and terrifying aura.

Qiu Zhi turned around gloomily and walked along. Qiao Xinning, does he still remember that Qiu Zhi who once picked him up under the horse in the Keju field? Can he still remember that the young prince Lin Yiran who helped him up with a smile on his face?

"Stop. A loud voice suddenly sounded.

The Yulin Army brushed and stopped behind Qiu Zhi. Qiu Zhi didn't seem to hear it, and still walked with his head down.

"Excuse me......" the young voice followed after Qiu Zhi, "May I ask if this is Uncle Qiu?"

Joe stopped and turned to look at the visitor. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, straight nose and thin lips, long body, majestic and high-spirited, clearly never seen, but there is a vague sense of goodness.

"In Xia Qiao Xiuyan," the visitor bowed to Qiu Zhi, "May I ask if you are Uncle Qiu Zhi?"

Qiu Zhi suddenly felt abrupt. Qiao Xiuyan, the son of Qiao Xinning, no wonder he feels a little familiar when he looks at it. Back then, Qiu Zhi gave his son this name for Qiao Xinning, and he laughed at Qiao Xinning a lot. It's not good for a boy to choose a name, but he wants to call it "Xiuyan", and others sound like "Xiuyan", with the breath of a boudoir woman.

"The villain is Qiu Zhi," Qiu Zhi bowed slightly, as if he didn't recognize Qiao Xiuyan, "I don't know what the adults sent to stop the villain?"

"It's really Uncle Qiu. Qiao Xiuyan looked delighted, "My father just saw Uncle Qiu's back from a distance in Kunyang Palace, so he asked me to take a look." I thought that my father had lost his eyes, but if it weren't for Uncle Qiu's steady steps and restrained breath, the younger generation would not dare to come forward to recognize him. ”

Qiu Zhi had a humble smile on his face, "Qiu Zhi's status is low, I don't know who Gongzi Lingzun is?"

"Father Qiao Xinning. Qiao Xiuyan said respectfully.

"It turned out to be Lord Joe's son. Qiu Zhi took a deep look at Qiao Xiuyan, "The tiger father has no dogs, Qiao Gongzi is really a young hero, and he has the style of a father." ”

"Thank you Uncle Qiu for your praise!" Qiao Xiuyan suddenly smiled, "If Uncle Qiu is free, why don't you come to the house another day to catch up with your father, the younger generation often hears my father mention Uncle Qiu's world-beating skills, and Uncle Qiu will let the younger generation have a long insight." ”

"Qiao Gongzi is really tormenting the villain. Qiu Zhi pondered again, "The villain is an ordinary man, how can he afford to climb Lord Qiao?" Qin Guifei urged the villain to go back to the palace to clean up the courtyard, and the villain retired first. ”

"That'...... Uncle Qiu walked slowly. Qiao Xiuyan looked at Qiu Zhiyuan's back, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

The middle-aged man in front of him, where is the slightest trace of the heroic and heroic chivalrous spirit that his father said, looking left and right, but he is just an inconspicuous servant in the house.

On the side of the high attic platform in the distance, Qiao Xinning watched Qiu Zhi's figure disappear outside the palace wall, and the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated.
