On the ninth day of October, when the sun set, Zhongli Yangmiao and Chan'er returned to the foot of Zhongliyuan Mountain in Dongshan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hmm...... It's been a long way, and I'm so tired. It's not far, do you want to go?" Chan'er stretched and said to Zhongli Yangmiao.

"Okay. Zhong Liyang Miao responded, stepped out of the carriage first, and then turned around and stretched out his hand to Chan'er.

“…… Thank you. Chan'er did not refuse Zhongli Yangmiao's kindness, smiled and put her hand on his hand, and jumped off the carriage with her strength.

"It turns out that sharing hardships can really change some things. Zhong Liyang Miao sighed with a smile.

"Don't be complacent, I'm just grateful that you protected me at that time. Chan'er wrinkled her nose and said.

"I know. After returning to Zhongli Yuan, you will be the county lord of Chanyuan again. Zhongli Yang Miao lowered his voice and leaned closer to Chan'er and said.

"......" Chan'er heard Zhong Liyangmiao's words, and suddenly felt in a trance: I can't tell when it's me, can you tell it......

The two walked silently for a while, intentionally or unintentionally pulling away from the convoy, and Zhong Liyang Miao spoke again:

"If you want to live freely and unfettered...... Stay. ”

"That's what you're talking about...... What does that mean?"

"You and I both know that, do you need to explain more?"

"Don't say it as if you understand it very well, you don't have feelings for me, and marrying a county lord will only bring more burdens. ”

"Even if it's so...... None of us can escape our innate identity and the responsibility that comes with it. ”

"Your responsibility is to help Zhong Liyuan strengthen his position?"

"Born in the royal family, there are more things to think about, and most of the marriages are out of your own hands. Zhong Liyang Miao did not answer, but continued.

"So like you said, I can't decide my marriage, how can I agree to stay?"

"In the lonely country, Dongshan Zhongli Yuan is the only one, and there is no other semicolon. Zhong Liyang Miao took Chan'er's hand and said, "The young master of Zhongli Yuan will personally ask the emperor for marriage, relying on the financial resources accumulated by Zhong Liyuan over the past hundred years and the rare reserves that have never been published. ”

Before Chan'er could respond, the whispering between the two was interrupted by the woman in red who was standing halfway up the mountain and looking down:

"Brother Yang Miao!"

“…… Xi'er?" Zhong Liyang Miao was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked up, his eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and he couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

The woman in red is none other than the fourth lady of Yiguo Orange Flame Villa, Liao Xi. can also be regarded as Zhongli Yangmiao's cousin. As Liao Die said, as Zhong Liyang Miao and Liao Xi grow up day by day, the relationship between the two has undergone some indescribable changes, but neither of them is aware of it. But when Liao Xi saw the scene where Zhong Liyang Miao took Chan'er's hand, she almost subconsciously shouted.

After a while, the three of them met halfway up the mountain, Zhong Liyang Miao introduced Chan'er and Liao Xi to each other, and then looked at Liao Xi and asked:

"Why didn't you let anyone know me when you came?"

"Do I have to get your permission to come first?" Liao Xi seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and his tone was not good, "The third brother has lost his soul for a county lord, but it turns out that Brother Yang Miao is the same as him." If I hadn't come, how would I have known? ”

"Xi'er!" Zhong Liyang Miao frowned slightly.

"Anyway, I'm not from Zhongliyuan, let alone from a lonely country, your county lord is not mine!" Liao Xi turned around and ran away after speaking.

"County Lord, this child has been spoiled by us, and I apologize for her rudeness. Zhongli Yang Miao said to Chan'er, but what he saw was the direction in which Liao Xi ran away.

"Is that good?" Chan'er asked softly.

"What?"

"Is it okay not to follow?"

"Hmm. ”

"She must have come out to wait for you. And if you don't worry about people, what are you doing all the time?"

"I ......"

"The authorities are confused. Chan'er shook her head and chased forward with light skills.

Although Chan'er does not need to exceed fifty percent of her martial arts according to the agreement with the plugging rut, light martial arts are not as easy to suppress as martial arts, so this casual chase has a hidden tendency to catch up with Huang Feng's speed, which has attracted the attention of Jing Hu, Luo Dong, Huang Feng and An Liu not far away.

~~~

Liao Xi ran until he reached the side door of Zhongli Garden, and then gradually slowed down, leaning against the courtyard wall, as if angry, his hands clenched into fists and knocked on the wall next to him several times in succession.

Chan'er quickly chased after her, deliberately lowering her footsteps a little.

When Liao Xi heard this, he immediately turned around happily and shouted with a smile:

"Brother Yang Miao......"

Halfway through the words, seeing the person who came, Liao Xi's enthusiasm quickly faded again:

"It's you. ”

"What just happened is not what you see. Chan'er said bluntly.

"You are the honorable county lord, there is no need to explain anything to me. Liao Xi retracted his gaze and looked at the ground and said.

"I'm not explaining to you, I'm just stating the facts, and that's important to me. Chan'er continued, "Miss Liao should be able to understand my feelings, after all, girls want to make the person they like feel innocent, don't they?"

"Do you mean ...... You and him...... Isn't he someone you like?" Liao Xi heard this, and her mood fluctuated slightly.

"He's not. ”

"Why?"

"That's a strange question. Chan'er laughed helplessly, "Do I have to like him?"

"But he took your hand......"

"That doesn't mean anything. I don't know what he thinks, but I can tell you with certainty that I won't take you as a brother. I have people I want to occupy. ”

"What kind of person does the county lord like?" Liao Xi looked at Chan'er with some surprise and curiosity and asked.

"......" Chan'er was silent for a moment, and then spoke again, "You are from the Yi country, I don't know if you have heard of the hidden dust Xuan of the lonely country?"

"Of course I know, four years ago...... Everyone gathered in the Demon Palace. ”

"I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and I can't wander around as freely as you, but I can hear a lot of things outside, including the Hidden Dust Xuan, and the small Xuan Master of the Hidden Dust Xuan. I know that he writes well, can play a very good Tao Xun, and his martial arts are also very good. I admired him in my heart. Chan'er had a very yearning expression and smiled a little shyly.

"So, you're saying that you like to block big brother...... Because you have someone in your heart, you won't like Brother Yang Miao anymore? But is it possible for you to be with Brother Du?"

"Maybe it's not possible, but what does it matter, I'm happy to know he's doing well. ”

"......" Liao Xi was stunned for a while before she reacted, and said a little embarrassedly around her fingers, "Sister County Lord, I'm sorry...... I lost my temper ......"

"You like him, don't you?"

"Ah......h

"Don't worry, I won't say anything to him. But I think he may have felt it. He seemed very sad to see you gone. Will you forgive him?"

"Hmm!" Liao Xi showed a bright smile, "I'm fine, I'll go see my aunt." ”

Chan'er looked at Liao Xi's back, first shook her head slightly, and then laughed again.

"You must be wondering by now how she can be so naïve and so emotionally volatile. And said those words to her, with her personality, I couldn't imagine that the entire Zhongli Yuan would know where the heart of the county lord Chanyuan belonged in three days. Yuan Han came out of the shadow of the tree and whispered.

"I know I'm taking advantage of her, but that's the only way to do it, and it's good for everybody. Chan'er looked at Uehara Han and was not surprised by his appearance.

"Match Zhong Liyang Miao and Liao Xi together, so that the people here are more afraid of blocking ruts because of your relationship, and at the same time, you don't have to stay here reluctantly. ”

"Hmm. ”

"It's not a bad thing for me, I can touch your light and go to Hengguo to have fun. ”

"Hengguo...... Let's take it one step at a time. ”

~~~

On the second day and night, Chan'er slipped out of the courtyard as usual and came to the Cangming Pavilion to blow the night breeze.

At this moment, a man walked slowly from the other end of the long bridge.

When the man was still a few steps away from the end of the long bridge, Chan'er had seen the person by the moonlight, so she spoke:

"There...... It's not your courtyard, is it?"

"It was my mother's favorite bamboo garden that my father built for her. ”

“…… Your biological mother?"

"yes. Ever since she passed away, I've been used to coming here when I have something on my mind. ”

"What's on your mind tonight?"

"If you're as smart as you, is there any need to ask? Could you please come with me?"

"Good. ”

Needless to say, it was Zhongli Yang Miao, Chan'er agreed, and then walked down the Cangming Pavilion and returned to the bamboo garden with him.

The moonlight was projected around the two of them through the gap in the bamboo leaves, Zhongli Yang Miao never spoke, and Chan'er walked quietly beside him. Walking in the bamboo garden, the bamboo leaves under the feet of the two make a crisp sound from time to time, which is intertwined with the rustling sound of the green bamboo, which sounds like a unique rhythm.

Suddenly, Chan'er didn't step on a steady foot, and was tripped by the bamboo branches scattered on the ground, and the two birds that stayed in the bamboo forest at night were startled by a "squeak" and flapped their wings and flew into the night sky.

"Why don't we sit there for a while?" Zhong Li Yang Miao said, pointing to a stone arch not far away.

Chan'er took action instead of answering, walked to the arch, took the lead in sitting down on the crescent-shaped arc on one side, and looked at Zhongli Yang Miao in front of her and said:

"You sit down too. ”

Hearing this, Zhongli Yang Miao walked to the other side of the arch and leaned against a crescent-shaped arc symmetrical to Chan'er's side. As soon as he raised his eyes, Zhong Liyang Miao was facing the silhouette on Chan'er's right, only to see her gently shaking her feet, looking up at the moon carelessly.

"You don't look like a county lord who grew up inside the palace walls at all. Zhong Liyang Miao sighed softly.

"Is it because I gave you this feeling that you want to help me protect this?" Chan'er didn't move her eyes, but a smile appeared on her lips.

"I thought that would make you want to stay. ”

"Perhaps, I have to admit it, your words are seductive (separator) seductive...... But feelings are not something we can easily control, they are destined to belong to you, so why should you push them away?"

"Yes......" Zhong Liyang Miao paused and spoke again, "What about you, what are you going to do next?"

"Go where I need to go and do what I have to do. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you'll go to Hengguo for the Emperor's birthday banquet. ”

"Really?"

"This trip is probably inseparable from your marriage. ”

"You're too smart to be my horse, but you shouldn't be my enemy. Chan'er turned her head and said jokingly.

"This time, I am afraid it will be more difficult for you and the person in your heart to be together. ”

"If I am destined with him, I will quietly wait for the moment when we meet......" Chan'er deliberately looked away, which in Zhongli Yangmiao's eyes was just the expression of being poked in the heart by the words.

"Why don't you fight for it? to your Emperor Uncle. ”

"I just want to protect him within my ability, and I won't allow my selfishness to make him the target of public criticism, don't you know everything very well, your three-legged pattern is not expected to be broken. ”

"Then shouldn't Yang Miao also thank the county lord for protecting me by the way?"

"Really thank me for helping me. ”

"Businessmen are the most important promises, so I usually don't promise anyone anything, let alone such an important decision......"

"I knew you would say yes. ”

"Why are you so confident in me?"

"We are friends, and if I am the county lord for one day, I will not forget the interests of your Zhongli Yuan for a day, how about it?"

"Once Xi'er and I get married, the connections of our two families will inevitably be reintegrated, and I need you to help me open a door. I thought, if it's you, no, if it's the power you're about to get...... It can be done. ”

"Greed. Chan'er blinked sharply.

"I can't change the facts. Zhong Liyang Miao said with a smile.

“…… Well, I've answered your business, and I'll give you that privilege if the trip goes well. ”

"I also promised that at the critical moment, Zhong Liyuan's position must be on the side of the blockage. ”

"Why do you think it's me who suffers......" Chan'er looked at the glint in Zhongli Yangmiao's eyes and pursed her lips.

"Don't worry, the county lord can regret it at any time, and I will just treat it as if I didn't have today's agreement. ”

"It's cheap, and it's good. Let's go, don't let me see you again!"

"Yes, Yang Miao obeys. Zhong Liyang Miao said that he really turned around and walked away.

"You ......"

"Hahaha......" Although Zhong Liyang Miao deliberately suppressed his laughter, he still couldn't stop laughing in his voice.

The story of Chan'er and her first county horse selection stopped in the moonlight.
