"Neither before nor now, with one day when we are in this world, this entanglement will never end. Escape? Shen Zhan looked at me and spit out the word coldly, "Don't think!" ”

……

I never understood the stubbornness of Shen Zhan. In love, I am foolish. After being an unmarried widow for so many years, she fell in love with Qi Yeyi, and she couldn't understand others anymore. If I hear it, I am selfish and sluggish, and I also know that this endless entanglement harms others and myself.

I lay down on the bed, but I couldn't sleep. I sat with my eyes open, and the sound of rain was dripping in my ears. I pulled out my Pixiu wrench and rubbed it gently in the dark.

Little Nine ...... Qi Ye ...... The memories began to coincide, but the key points were still mottled and cracked.

The rumored Qi Ye was born in the desert and grew up in the midst of war, and did not fall from the sky until the imperial court was in trouble. Sweeping through the West Liang, the posture of the god of war is admired by all the people. And the Xiao Jiu in my memory, like the little Jinwu of Chang'an, lives in the shadow of the family, but he said that he would go to Xiliang for me and marry me with the merits of Wangcheng.

The doubts in my heart were disturbed, and my mind was like a paste, fainting and aching. I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found the sachet that Qi Ye gave me from the outfit on patrol, the mellow aroma made people almost want to cry, the throat was choked with whimpering, and the clenched palm was painful by the cold wrench, I realized that I couldn't even cry.

Life is not seen, and it is like a participant.

I quietly looked at the bottom of the satin picture of the sachet until the pale stains of water were stained between the two stars.

As the morning darkened, I dressed up and stepped out of the temple gate. Under the eaves, dripping rain hangs, and the new greenery in the courtyard has been washed by the wind and rain overnight, revealing a deep vitality. The wood hibiscus that has just bloomed has fallen a pansy-colored petal, and the swallows are sporadic and sporadic in the world, and the world has not yet woken up from a night's sleep.

Falling flowers, green trees, white clothes. Shen Zhan stood under the eaves with his hands in his hands, his long hair was draped, his back was silent and lonely, and when he turned to look at me, he was neither happy nor angry, only his eyes were straightforward.

I barely pulled out a smile, but it turned into a twitch at the corner of my mouth. With a slight bow to him, I picked up my clothes and walked away.

After not taking a few steps, I stopped, glanced at Shen Zhan who was following closely behind me, coughed lightly, and hurried forward.

Xiao Chongyan guards the southwest and likes to collect fine horse breeds, and even the royal horses in the Yizhou Palace are all good horses in the Western Regions. I spent half a day in the stables, but I couldn't find a ride. Suddenly, there was a long neighing from the bottom of the stable, and when I walked in, it turned out to be the purple chirping of Qi Ye.

I haven't seen it for many days, but I have become thin, my hair has lost its former luster, and it has lost its previous sassy and heroic spirit. It saw me caressing its head, and leaned over to scan my cheek, and in its eyes I saw that I was haggard, and behind it stood an equally pale contemplation.

"The son of the world is going back, how to rush without sleeping all night?"

Shen Zhan casually led a horse: "It's better to say this to yourself." "I have my own measure." ”

How can stubborn people persuade not to move. I swung my head on my horse, remembering the last time I rolled over from its back and fell to the ground, and I still had lingering palpitations in my heart. When I sat down, I patted the horse on the face and whispered in its ear, "Hon, be obedient." Let's go find him......"

Shen Zhan and I made a detour through the mountain road, and it was still early, so I changed direction and headed north. Shen Zhan followed closely, his clothes flying in the wind.

Shen Zhan hid this trip from everyone. King Yan is ill, and the prince is at a critical moment in prison. The abolition of hereditary rule after the Great Zhou Dynasty was sealed by Tui'en, and it was decided by the Son of Heaven and the monarch in consultation. King Yan has no intention of ruling for a long time, and whether Shen Zhan can succeed to the throne still needs to be appointed by the Holy Decree. Now that Yizhou is on patrol, the illness of the Son of Heaven is strange and urgent, and the interests of various factions are about to break out, and everyone is waiting for the opportunity to move. Shaw knows my past with Shen Zhan, and if someone discovers his traces and makes a big fuss, it will definitely make the situation more subtle and serious.

"Someone is following, let's get rid of each other first and then go to Lanruo Temple!" Shen Zhan caught up with me, I raised my horsewhip and said in a deep voice.

I don't know when I became as sharp as Qi Ye, and as soon as I stepped out of the dormitory door, I noticed that someone was following me. Changsheng traveled thousands of miles to bring the news that Qi Ye was not dead, and the secret of this must not be known to others.

"Drive!" Galloping between the mountains and forests, the horse's hooves disturb the silence of the early morning.

The field of vision gradually widened, and the water of the river was mighty. Galloping past, one side of the mountains and one side of the river surging. The sun rises in the east, and the river flows away with a sparkling golden light.

A red steed leapt past me and stopped in front of me, blocking its way.

"Phew—" I jerked the reins, and the skulls raised my front hooves, and then stopped galloping.

"Lianwu, why are you?" When I saw the comer, I couldn't help but be surprised, "Why did you come with me?" ”

Lian Wu was dressed in civilian clothes, and her ankle-length hair was tied up high, revealing her delicate face. The cyan robe was tattooed with a thousand petals of water lilies, which was extremely commensurate with her ethereal appearance.

"My lord ordered me to protect the princess and the prince, for fear that you will get lost in Yizhou." Lotus Witch rode his horse slowly towards me, and pointed forward with his whip, "Princess, Lanruo Temple is over there." ”

Xiao Chongyan actually noticed that Shen Zhan was coming to Yizhou, and he also knew my true whereabouts. I shuddered when I remembered that he usually looked kind, but his eyes couldn't hide their sharpness. He asked Lianwu and a weak woman to come to protect the safety of me and Shen Zhan, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?

The hour was approaching, and with a stomach full of questions, the three of us turned around and headed south. Now that Lotus Wu knows the purpose of my trip, I am not prepared to hide it, and I will calmly wait and see what happens.

Lanruo Temple is located in the south corner of Yizhou at the foot of Guangwu Mountain, according to the introduction of Lianwu all the way, I know that it and Chang'an Guiyuan Temple are called the two major Zen temples in the north and south, and the status of Buddhism is second only to Fengming Chaolu.

The sound of the Buddha in the Lanruo Temple echoes among the verdant mountains and forests. The ancient trees in the temple are deep, the green smoke is hazy, and the people who get up early to worship the incense are in and out of the temple in a scattered manner. In the secluded courtyard, the shade of a towering tree obscures most of the house, and the strong branches are wrapped with red threads, and the shadows of the green trees and crimson threads dance in the wind.

Stepping on the moss-covered steps, I saw Changsheng waiting under the tree from a distance, I ran forward a few steps, walked to the edge of the tree and slowed down again, and pulled a smile towards him.

"Princess, you're here." Changsheng bowed to me, and when he saw the two of them following me, his expression showed embarrassment.

I knew that Changsheng was worried, but I had to say, "Don't worry, the two of them came with me, and there is no malice." ”

Changsheng hesitated, and his eyes drifted to the backyard: "Princess, you should go to the backyard with me to talk in detail." Changsheng's expression was extremely cautious, which made my heart even heavy.

The backyard of the temple is empty, and the sound of wooden fish is faintly heard. Changsheng wandered left and right for a long time, and his anxious and uneasy expression was all in my eyes. I was tormented with joy and fear by the news that Qi Ye might still exist, and Changsheng's hesitant reaction was like torment to me.

After a long time, Changsheng opened his mouth and asked me, "Princess, do you believe me?" ”
