In the red willow forest

Sifang forest, is a red willow forest outside Tianshui City, there is a river by the forest, the river trickles in spring and summer, and a dry silence in autumn and winter, just like its name, spring and summer stream.

At this moment, there is water in the stream, and the stream is cold, but the melting snow on the Kunlun Mountain in the distance is falling.

Xu Changling ordered the carriage to stop by the stream, it was still early, and he walked alone along the stream to the forest, the woods were silent, without any deliberate hiding, and there was no imperceptible footsteps.

He slowly walked through the thick dead leaves on the ground, and only stopped when he came to the trunk of one of the oldest and most massive trees in the forest, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes slightly.

He sat for a long time, not moving, and the corners of his robe were even woven by a bold little spider with a few invisible threads.

The moon has risen, the sun has not set, the sky is full of strange and magnificent colors, the wind sweeps the leaves all over the ground, and the ocean is sprinkled.

It was a strange twilight, like the night when you could meet the demon in any ghost tale note, Xu Changling still had his eyes closed, and he didn't even have any slight movement of his fingers, and the two flowers were still in his palm.

Finally, when the sun had exhausted the last trace of afterglow, there was a line of unhurried footsteps in the depths of the forest, and Xu Changling suddenly opened his eyes.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, each step barely a fraction of a centimeter apart, and each landing was equally light.

There were slight changes between Xu Changling's eyebrows, and his fingers were slightly clenched.

The footsteps are more than two feet, it is a man, a man, it is impossible to carry a flower and smear fat powder.

Xu Changling's face did not show his emotions, he just sat cross-legged on the ground, dressed in a golden silk black coat and a gauze cover, almost blending with the twilight sky.

At last, three feet in front of him, there was a pair of simple black cloth boots, the hem of which was cut from green cloth, and above that, two arms with half-sleeved sleeves hanging down at his side, then a broad chest, and then a face of unknown age, forty seemed too mature, twenty looked frivolous, a short beard, long eyebrows as sharp as a knife, and a smile at the corners of the mouth.

Xu Changling's gaze had moved away from him without a trace, and landed on the branches and leaves dyed with a layer of moonlight in the distance, and he spoke: "Yin Che, it's you?"

Although he was in an inquiring tone, there was no surprise in his words, nor was he disappointed, he pinched the two flowers, and had already guessed all the people who might come, naturally, this man named Yin Che was also among them.

Yin Che, his surname is Yin, he is not an unknown person, in the past, Wei Jing was a young man, but he had heard Jiang Zuosheng's reputation, and he also remembered the surname of Mrs. Yan's husband, he was Mrs. Yan's husband and Wen Xi's father.

Yin Che smiled and said, "Is the regent looking forward to someone else?"

Xu Changling said: "Where is she?"

She is the owner of these two flowers, and she is also a person who should have died.

Before his father died, he sent wine to Yan Danhuang and was buried in Yiling. He's still with her for the rest of his life......"

This should not be a happy ending of deep love and life and death.

……

"She's a woman. Yin Che said, "What a woman is most afraid of is nothing more than getting old and no longer young." ”

Xu Changling didn't speak, and when he heard the words, he just frowned silently.

He smiled again and said: "Since saying goodbye to the prince that year, seventeen cold and summer have passed at once, she is afraid that Fanghua will pass away, frost will stain green silk, and it will be difficult to see the old man." ”

Xu Changling's eyes were deep, and there was no emotion on his face, "Really?"

Yin Che smiled: "Think so, men in the world, who dares to say that they understand women, since she said so, then this is her true meaning." ”

"And what about you, why did you appear?" asked Xu Changling.

Yin Che looked up at the sky, and suddenly sighed, he said, "I'm here to ask the regent for something." ”

Xu Changling narrowed his eyes slightly, no one would use this kind of method.

"Oh?"

"The Lord Regent has traveled all the way north and south for several years, and has he found all the things he is looking for?" he asked with a smile.

Xu Changling's face was slightly cold.

Yin Che said: "Nanyan Baizhu City, Bohai Famous City, Meizhou Ancient City, Baiyue Yuhuazhou, and Qin'an Old Palace, presumably the broken map in the hands of the regent can almost form a complete map." ”

Xu Changling was noncommittal and did not speak.

Yin Che said again: "It's just that the regent doesn't have a piece of Dingtian jade, I don't know if this is heaven's will?"

The cold light in Xu Changling's eyes was cold.

Yin Che said, "I want to ask the regent to give me those broken pictures." ”

Xu Changling's eyes narrowed slightly, he said it too lightly, and the tone was not pleading, it was like a joke.

Yin Che looked at Xu Changling, and said with a smile: "This must be like ascending to the sky, but ......" He said: "Now in the hands of Prince Wei, there should be a fragment of Dingtian jade, the regent has a picture but no jade, and Prince Wei has a jade but no picture, I don't know if this is also the will of heaven?"

"In this world, maybe there are really ghosts and gods, sometimes the things that are destined to be in the dark are really thought-provoking, and I can't help but shudder, Yin has been exploring for several years and can't understand it, hehe, His Royal Highness the Regent, I am looking forward to it, this time, what kind of situation will the world become. He said with a faint smile.

Xu Changling opened his mouth and said, "What do you want to get?" He didn't appear for no reason, and he said this for no reason.

"What ...... I" Yin Che said: "Don't the regent think that except for me, there is no one in the world who hates the Eastern Wei Dynasty more?"

"And then?"

"I wanted to help the regent's cause, so I came here to recommend myself. He laughed again.

Xu Changling was unmoved, and said, "What do you want to do for Lone?"

"Ah...... Fenglin Secret Treasure, I think these four words are enough to make the world crazy, bizarre legends, crazy treasures, and dreams that can reign in the world. He said with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"It's just that, for the regent, the treasure in it must not be these vain delusions. His tone changed, and he suddenly looked at Xu Changling, with a bit of cunning in his mouth.

Xu Changling saw the appearance of another person from Yin Che's tone and the corners of his lips, the girl who was once playful and cute, he seemed to be evasive, looked away, and said, "So what?"

"If the regent's pride and ambition can make Yin Che admire, then Yin Che naturally has enough reasons to smear the regent's liver and brain. He said, and then took out a thing from his bosom, he put it on the ground, it was a roll of paper, he slowly opened it, and the lines in it were outlined, and the mountains and rivers of the city-state were clearly also a map.
