The Yue State officially allied with the Chu State, and set up the fourth highness Li Qi as the prince to go to the Chu State as a hostage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Qi stood in the wind outside the hall, his robe fluttering in the wind, he looked at the continuous palace under his feet, and the jade wrench on his thumb slowly turned.

"Your Highness.."

A slightly melancholy word came from behind him, he pulled the wrench with his hand, looked at the pale gray sky with his back hand, and sighed: "Doctor Nangong, is this fate?" ”

Behind is a white-haired old man, the gray sideburns on the side of his ears are blown away by the wind, and the wrinkles on his forehead are twisted into a line and tightly connected. He bowed down, looked up at Li Qi's back, and the corners of his mouth were torn apart, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Although the beginning of the wings back to Xi, the end can be the wings of the pond, the lost mulberry elm, the east corner. Why did Your Highness say this? ”

There was a silence for a while, and the old man behind him spoke in a somewhat jerky tone, as if he was talking too strongly, making it a little difficult for him to speak.

"Really? Doctor Nangong, everything I arranged in the past was for this position, and now I have it! This is really a lost mulberry elm and a harvest of the east! ”

The elder who sighed for a long time was pulled by Li Qi, the hand behind his back hung down, his right hand raised and straightened the sideburns that were blown up, shook his head weakly, and his tone was lost: "I go to Chu, what's the use of being the son of the world?" This chicken-like existence. It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless! ”

"His Royal Highness...."

The old man behind him sighed when he heard this, didn't he know what Li Qi was thinking in his heart, if Li Qi went to the Chu State, then everything he had originally arranged would be meaningless, and after that, His Highness Li Si would probably be outstanding.

Li Qi stretched out a white and slender hand and stopped in mid-air, interrupted the old man's sigh, closed his eyes, then shook his head, opened and closed his closed eyes, walked a few steps forward, and suddenly stopped: "If I can't return, you will choose a good lord to serve!" ”

"His Royal Highness..."

When the old man behind him heard this, he suddenly prostrated on the ground, raised his head slightly, and said in fear: "I wish to be in Vietnam, waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince to return!" ”

didn't answer, the corners of Li Qi's mouth opened and wiped a wry smile, whether he can go back to Chu State or not, it all depends on the will of heaven, he stepped forward and walked into the distance.

....

At the same time..

It has been three days since Tuoba was buried, and the white and yellow paper left earlier in front of the mansion has flown nowhere.

Xiang Yiming and Qingya accompanied Tuoba Qian to sit on the roof, watching the endless stream of pedestrians on the street through the low gray wall.

The three of them didn't speak, Tuoba Qian's eyes were a little bloated, her small mouth was bloodless, she pillowed her cheeks on her knees, and tilted her head to look into the distance.

Under the eaves, the crisp bell rang non-stop, like knowing the end of summer, knowing that there would be no later, and still wanting to let his voice stay in late autumn.

"It's annoying!"

Qingya pretended to mumble, afraid that the wind would hit Tuoba Qian's body, so she held Tuoba Qian's hand and shook it: "Sister Qian, this roof is windy, be careful of the cold, let's go down!" ”

"No, I want to be more stupid."

Tuoba Qian pulled away the hand that was shaken by Qingya, put her hand in the wind, spread her fingers, and let the wind flow between her fingers.

Her gaze slowly moved with her slowly turning hand, then she stood up, looked up at the sky that seemed to be close at hand, and raised her hand to slowly scrape in the air current, as if caressing the huge sky.

"Is there really another world on the other side of the day?"

Tuoba Qian raised her head, a little moisture appeared in her eyes, and there was urgency in her tiptoe tone.

Xiang Yiming and Qingya, who were sitting, saw Tuoba Qian standing on tiptoe, and both of them were a little worried, and stood up cautiously, wanting to stretch out their hands to support them.

"You haven't answered me yet?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the hand that Qingya and Xiang Yiming had just stretched out, and Tuoba Qian turned her head to squeeze out a smile in her eyes dyed with moisture, but the smile was thick with bitterness.

"Yes, that world has no injuries and is more beautiful than our world."

Xiang Yiming's blue eyes flickered, the hand he had just stretched out retracted, and his footsteps moved lightly to Tuoba Qian, and his tone was full of affirmation.

"Really?"

Tuoba Qian staggered Xiang Yiming's gaze, retracted on tiptoe, and opened her eyes with teary eyes to look into the distance against the wind.

"Really."

Qingya looked at Xiang Yiming after Tuoba Qian's question, her eyes were a little dim, many years ago, Qingya remembered that the young man in front of her had also asked her the same question, and her eyes were so helpless, she hurriedly opened her mouth to answer Tuoba Qian.

The words floated in the air and were stretched, becoming thin and long, Tuoba Qian did not speak again, she stood on tiptoe, and jumped on the roof with one hand holding the corner of her pale blue skirt.

The light posture of Yuan Na is like a blue butterfly floating in the wind, the arc of the skirt is just like the fluttering wings, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, and she looks up at the gray sky slightly: "Since I was a child, my father has wanted me to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I always do some unreasonable things against his temperament." ”

The small steps slowly changed, Xiang Yiming looked at Tuoba Qian who was jumping on the roof, he was slightly stunned, this was the first time he knew that the girl who was so domineering could also dance, and it was so beautiful to be quiet.

"Do you think my father can see from heaven? It was as if I was letting him know that his daughter had changed. ”

Tears fell as Tuoba Qian's voice fell, Tuoba Qian's steps changed rapidly, her hair tossing and turning in the wind, and the reflected light was beating.

"You'll see.."

The two of them opened their mouths at the same time, and their bodies stood beside Tuoba Qian, carefully protecting.

"Then my dad must be able to hear it!" Tuoba Qian's eyes were cold, and then her lips opened slightly. The gentle and crisp singing voice was like a gurgling spring gushing into the sky, and Tuoba Qian beat like this, letting the wind carry her singing voice to the canopy that seemed to be close at hand.

Qingya and Xiang Yiming stood silently beside Tuoba Qian, watching with distress, while carefully protecting her, afraid of an accident.

In the courtyard of the Tuoba family's mansion stood a woman, her lips covered her pale lips with unwashed makeup.

Qingsi was tactful, she straightened the wind-pressed hair in front of her forehead, looked up slightly at Tuoba Qian dancing on the roof, looked up at the sky again, and couldn't help murmuring: "Is there really another world outside this day?" Can you really see us? ”

Some melancholy mutters were blown away by the wind, the woman lowered her head, tears crossed her picturesque face, she collected the loss in her heart, turned her back, and walked slowly towards the outside of the mansion alone, and the slightly choked singing voice behind her was still floating in the air.
