How did he come here?

Unexpected, and even more unreasonable, there is no such possibility from anywhere.

I shrank my head and retreated back to an angle where I couldn't see him, thought about it and stood up, and heard a clear sound of sleeves beating outside, neat and crisp.

"The slave Nian Qianyao asked Fu Jin for peace. ”

His voice was still as polite and respectful as I remember, without the astonishment that flashed across his face.

Walking straight out of the door, the person who was still kneeling on the stone steps outside the courtyard gate adjusted his direction slightly, and repeated to me again.

Xiaoyan raised his eyebrows and glanced at me Standing beside me, Yi Anxing, who came over, stood silently on both sides for a long time, and the atmosphere was as cold as snow under his feet. The cold wind blew and raised a blank slate, turning most of his body white.

"Nian, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet here. ”

Nian Qianyao maintained his posture and half-knelt, raised his head slightly so that I could see his smile, frozen on his face for a long time.

"This place is far away from the capital, how can there be any slave Fujin, but it is just a foreign country. It's snowing and cold, why don't you get up quickly, do you want to come in and have a cup of tea to warm up?"

"The minions don't dare. Nian Qianyao bowed his head and bowed again, swept the cuffs under the wide cloak and stood up, shaking off the white all over his body, and wearing a military uniform full of energy. In an instant, I looked up.

Taking a step back and opening up some distance, he stood straight and opened his mouth again, "The slave came to pick up Fu Jin on the order of the fourth master, and asked Fu Jin to pack up, so that the slave can escort you back to Beijing." ”

"Back to Beijing?" I turned my eyes to Xiaoyan and received her gaze, and nodded in response: "It was the fourth master who ordered you...... He didn't explain that he would take the thirteen brothers and sisters back to Beijing together?"

Where the hell did this guy come from?!

I laughed and he laughed, it was clear that the chicken and the duck were talking, and they could laugh so calmly! The stunned feeling just now seemed to be an illusion of my dazzle.

My heart lifted up, shook my hand and put it into my cuffs, still smiling, and took a step up the stone steps to meet face to face, "Nian, there have been many hardships along the way, it's just ...... It should have been a good hospitality, but this place is too shabby and it is where our two women's families live, not only for fear that the simplicity of the people here will cause gossip, but also for fear of wronging you, the famous governor. ”

"Fujin is too worried, the slave ......"

"Nian, since ancient times, there have been clouds that have not given orders to foreign soldiers, not to mention that although the fourth master is a prince today, he does not command the military and politics, in my opinion, you should still listen to the long live lord more, or communicate more with the army. As for family affairs, all the affairs in the palace have long been handed over to Nian Bian Fujin to take over...... Isn't it okay for you to pass through here on your march today, and begged for a cup of hot tea in front of the courtyard of this little family?"

Nian Qianyao's narrow eyes were still smiling, and I could see a trace of gradually provoking temperature from the similar tails of his eyes, which spread to the corners of his eyebrows and lips.

He was still standing there, looking at the smile on my face for a long time. I grabbed the handkerchief to cover my mouth and coughed, Xiaoyan was so frightened that her face turned white and she held me and bent towards her back.

Blood trickled out from between my fingers, a little red like cinnabar on a white silk handkerchief, and I clenched it violently and retracted it into my sleeve. Pushing Xiaoyan and smiling reluctantly, "Go and pour a bowl of tea for this military master, and get some silver taels ......"

"Don't bother. Nian Qianyao suddenly caught my voice, clasped his fists with both hands and changed his face apologetically, and smiled in his eyes, "I am very offended today, and I ask the two ladies to forgive me, and Nian Mou said goodbye." ”

The back disappeared from front of me, and I hurriedly stepped forward to pull the door and gently pushed it shut, wanting to look at it and endure closing the door. The smiling eyes that suddenly appeared in the crack of the door frightened me to pick at the deadbolt, and my fingertips hurt like sawdust, and I kept shaking.

He went and turned back, standing silently outside the door and staring at me.

"The slave only forgot to reply, now that he is pregnant in this year, the fourth master told him to be careful about the fetus. Old...... The slave is brave, and I hope that Fujin will consider it again, if he returns to Beijing to take charge of government affairs......"

"The young man is too worried. I opened the door a little to see each other clearly, and met the sincere gaze that flashed on his face, "Since you leave, you will never go back, and please reassure Nian and Ling Mei." Beijing, Fuzhong, not so a small courtyard. I don't want to be rich and rich, I just want to be healthy, and I hope that adults will be convenient. ”

Xiaoyan's hand was propped up on my back, as if the wind and snow were pressed into the back of the heart, straight into the throat and pushed up, and the smile at the corner of the mouth couldn't stop the cough.

The person outside the door stared at the handkerchief in my hand, and the smile kept hanging on his face, and the little snow on his brow had not melted in the slightest, which was very familiar.

I have seen him very few times over the years, such a memory should not be there, but it is so real that it is like engraved into the heart, and it hurts when you touch it.

The sound of creaking and trampling on the snow faded away, and I gently closed the door and let out a long breath and lay on it. When my hand slapped on my back, I stood up straight and turned around, so frightened that Xiaoyan grabbed the handkerchief in my hand and looked at it over and over.

The snow in the capital, the red plum tips in the house, the color should be the same at this time.

"Go pack your bags, can't live here. He grabbed the handkerchief back from her hand and wrapped it around his tail finger, took her hand and hurried into the house, "Don't look at it, if he regrets it in a blink of an eye, we will die." ”

As I was talking, the knock on the door sounded again, and I rubbed the ground and straightened my back, only to feel that the cool air instantly spread all over my limbs, and my hands and feet were numb, and the fishy sweetness on the tip of my tongue was about to stir.

Xiaoyan stopped caressing the corners of my lips, her little face flushed from the cold tightened, and she bit her lip and looked carefully at the courtyard door behind me.

Yi An and Xingjiu raised their guns horizontally, and the other quickly drew a short knife and shook it behind him, and quietly moved to both sides of the courtyard gate, leaning on the door and listening to the movement, and kept glancing at me.

The subordinates who stood in the courtyard at a loss all cowered and hid in the corner, as if feeling the tension in the atmosphere, no one spoke, and no one could even hear the atmosphere gasping, only the sound of the wind.

"Open the door. ”

Before I could say these two words, the outside spoke for me first, and it was very light, as if it had been caught in the wind and floated in through the crack in the door.

Hearing this, my heart fell back into place, and I almost couldn't support myself to sit on the ground, and I was held firmly by Xiaoyan. Her tight, wrinkled face changed to a vivid expression.

Yinxiang flashed in through the crack in the door that was about to open, patted his shoulder for a long time, and stood firmly in front of us in two or three steps.

Behind the courtyard gate that was about to be closed, four or five tall and sturdy men quickly flashed in, all standing in a row in the courtyard. They even had the arms of several people in their hands, and they were easily pressed into the snow and their faces were buried directly. Frightened, a few subordinates just opened their mouths and didn't call out, but they were rushed over by Yi An and Xingjiu and quickly knocked unconscious on the ground with their palms up.

Yinxiang helped me and Xiaoyan into the house left and right, and before he had time to take off his cloak, he asked in a suppressed voice, "Nian Qianyao is here, do you see you?"

Xiao Yan pulled him to sit down while looking at the row of expressionless men in the courtyard and replied quickly, "Why didn't you see it, it's just through a courtyard gate...... These people, he didn't stay to spy on us. Obviously, he was the only one ...... just now."

"Alone?" Yinxiang looked at us back and forth, and when he saw that everyone was confirmed, he threw off his cloak and sat in the chair, took the tea I handed him, took a sip of it, and said in a deep voice: "When I came, I saw that the alley was full of officers and soldiers, and I was wondering why I saw these people when I left. As he was talking, he put the teacup and didn't even turn his head, but his voice was a little louder and spoke to the outside of the hospital, "Brothers, the person who comes is a guest, greet well." ”

I didn't hear any answer, and suddenly the courtyard became quieter, and even the figure was gone. Xiaoyan and I looked at each other and then at Yinxiang, who was clenching his fists and looking around, suddenly shook his robe and stood up and looked at us very strictly.

"Pack up your things and leave today. ”

I want to go together, and I won't delay it anymore at this time.

I have no growth of my own, only a heart and flesh and bones in my belly, and I can leave at any time, and I can go anywhere.
