After a year, Qin Yan came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and after kneeling down to Ji Ye and receiving the New Year's money, Qin Yan dragged Ji Xiamo to Meiyuan to rest. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.БоМ .

Ji Xiamo leaned against the fireside and leaned on the soft collapse, and ordered Aoki to wait outside the house. Qin Yan untied his cloak and sat down casually, "Your room is warmer than the imperial study of the palace." ”

"I'm weak and afraid of the cold." Ji Xia Mo brewed hot tea and handed it to Qin Yan. "The tribute tea in the palace is usually difficult to drink."

"I am a rough person who practices martial arts, and I don't know how to play chess, paint, poetry, tea, and vassals." Qin Yan took a teacup and learned from Ji Xia Mo slightly, smashing his mouth and not tasting a sweet and sour taste.

Ji Xiamo shook his head and smiled lightly, quietly drank the tea in the cup, Ji Xiamo's fingertips rubbed the fan pendant, and the smile on the corner of his mouth converged. "Anyway, what's so difficult?"

Qin Yan's movements paused, his expression was slightly stiff, Ji Xiamo lifted the pot and poured tea, and the hazy heat blurred Ji Xiamo's indifference. "When did I see you so eager to pay New Year's greetings in previous years, could it be that the corpse of the 'female' in the lotus pond of the Royal 'Flower' Garden was not stopped?"

"I know I can't hide it from you." Qin Yan put down his cup and sighed. "Today I came to greet Uncle Ji for the New Year, and I also have the emperor's message."

Ji Xiamo's pupils tightened, and he was silent for a moment and asked aloud, "Is the edict from the Prime Minister's Mansion or mine." ”

"When the emperor visited the empress on Chinese New Year's Eve, he passed through the imperial 'flower' garden, and heard the 'female' of the night palace talking about the case of the 'female' corpse of the 'female' in the lotus pond of the imperial 'flower' garden, and after asking about the case, he was furious and ordered to find out the truth of the case."

Ji Xia Mo condensed his eyebrows and noticed something strange. "In addition to the palace 'girl' who found the corpse, it was the internal guard under your command who was present at the time, and after you blocked the news of the case, who 'exposed' it."

"The emperor heard about this by chance when he passed through the Imperial 'Flower' Garden, which is too coincidental." Ji Xia Mo recalled the events of the palace banquet, the corpse of the 'woman' in the royal 'flower' garden, and the queen's encounter with ghosts, whether there was any implication.

Qin Yan frowned between his brows, and his expression was serious: "It does feel weird to hear you say this, like someone is secretly '' and controlling the whole thing." ”

"What about the emperor's message?" Ji Xiamo asked about the points that Qin Yan had forgotten.

"The emperor announced that you entered the palace to investigate the case." Ji Xiamo frowned, and Qin Yan helplessly explained. "There are too many restrictions in the Imperial Palace, and you have the Nine Dragons and Phoenix Gold Medal given by the Emperor, so you can have no scruples when investigating the case."

"The emperor sees that it is difficult for me to live a long life, and I will be a castrated waste person in the face of the harem concubines." Ji Xiamo's expression was sarcastic.

"Don't say bad things during the New Year." Qin Yan stood up and shouted angrily. "Take 'medicine' when you're sick, those imperial doctors in the palace can always think of ways to cure you, and I'm still waiting to drink with you and race horses."

"It's all about to marry a wife and start a family, how can they still be willful like children." Ji Xia Mo 'rubbed' his eyebrows and said. "Can you still live forever after taking 'medicine'? Even the immortal 'medicine' doesn't have this effect. ”

"If you say these nonsense words again, I will not marry a wife and start a family in this life."

"If you don't marry a wife and start a family, what are you going to do?" Ji Xia Mo looked at Qin Yan teasingly.

Qin Yan swelled his face, his eyes widened, and he bent his neck and said aggrievedly, "I'll shave my hair and become a monk." ”

Ji Xiamo's laughter could not hide his joy, Qin Yan said angrily, "I dare to do what I say, if you Ji Xiamo dare to despise 'sexual' life, I will shave my hair." If you live, I will protect you in this life, and if you die, I will go and chant Buddha for you. ”

Ji Xia Mo looked at the angry Qin Yan in a daze, and the warm current crossed his heart and left a touch. Ji Xia Mo lowered his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Qin Yan." ”

"You Ji Xia Mo is my brother Qin Yan." Qin Yan's expression was solemn.

"The emperor has told me when to enter the palace." Ji Xia Mo changed the subject.

"The day after tomorrow." Qin Yan comforted Ji Xia Mo and said, "I will accompany you after entering the palace, and the palace guards are at your disposal." ”

"Don't say these words again after entering the palace." Ji Xiamo reluctantly instructed Qin Yan. "The internal guard is like a sword in the emperor's hand, which can only be held by the emperor."

Qin Yan had a headache when he mentioned the matter involving the regime, and he was convinced that Ji Xia Mo would never harm him, Qin Yan nodded without hesitation. "It's all up to you."

Ji Xia Mo looked out the window and whispered as if he was touched, "The Imperial City must be lively in the New Year." ”

"'Flower' lanterns, lion dances, fireworks, it's the same every year, it's not ......much," Qin Yan blurted out the words, choking, he remembered that Ji Xia Mo seemed to have not looked outside for a long time.

Looking at Ji Xia Mo's thin and pale face, Qin Yan stopped talking, was silent and entangled, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Xia Mo, I'll take you out to play." ”

Ji Xiamo looked at Qin Yan unexpectedly, and then 'revealed' an expectant smile. "Sneaking out?"

"Hmm." Seeing Ji Xiamo's smile, Qin Yan felt that it was worth it, Ji Ye was in charge of Ji Xiamo's strictness, and they could only sneak away if they wanted to get out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ji Xia Mo changed into a warm cloak, and then took Aoki away under the pretext of wanting to eat peach cake. Qin Yan took Ji Xiamo out of Meiyuan, covertly bypassed the 'attendants' in the mansion, and sneaked away from the backyard of the mansion.

Escaping from the Prime Minister's Mansion and walking to the street, recalling the weakness of the thief just now, Ji Xiamo and Qin Yan couldn't help laughing, but it was a bit like going back to the nonsense of their youth.

The winter night came quickly, the sunset dyed half the sky red, Ji Xiamo walked in the lively street, looking at the vendors shouting next to him, with a warm smile in his cold eyes.

"Xia Mo." Qin Yan handed the stinky tofu he bought to Ji Xiamo. "Your favorite food before."

Ji Xia Mo smiled and bent his eyes, and pointed to the people who were peeking sideways around him, and said, "Isn't it a joke that you are wearing the official uniform of the palace internal guard commander to buy stinky tofu?" ”

"Can they still go to the emperor to sue me?" Qin Yan said with a smile. "It's still hot just out of the pot, hurry up and eat it so that it doesn't get cold."

Ji Xiamo took the stinky tofu in Qin Yan's hand, and helplessly chatted with Qin Yan, "Now that you are an official of the imperial court, you must have official authority." ”

"Why are you like my father?" Qin Yan pursed his lips and interrupted Ji Xiamo's words.

"Can I give birth to a bear son like you?" Ji Xia Mo retorted.

"You ......" Qin Yan glared at Ji Xiamo, and then both of them laughed. Qin Yan approached Ji Xia Mo and took him away from the crowd. "Follow me, don't let the people get separated at night."

"Okay."

Qin Yan took Ji Xiamo out of the crowded street and came to the stone arch bridge. All kinds of 'flower' lanterns float in the lake, which at first glance look like scattered stars, warming the icy snowy night of the imperial city.

Ji Xiamo was spinning a goldfish lantern in his hand, and Qin Yan followed beside him with a hand full of Ji Xiamo's bought. The commander of the palace internal guard was reduced to a follower, and Qin Yan did not complain at all. Ji Xiamo was willing to call him, and he was happy that his relationship with Ji Xiamo remained the same.

"Xia Mo, do you want to buy a river lantern and put it in the lake to make a wish?" Qin Yan approached Ji Xiamo and asked.

Ji Xia Mo glanced at the lake and refused coldly. "I don't believe that."

once went to the Nine 'Gates' Jianghu Celebrity Competition, and the 'flower' lantern petitioned him to grow old with Jin Wuji's son, and the pain of life and death was not with you, but in the end, she was still separated.

Ji Xiamo handed the goldfish lantern to Qin Yan, walked to the mask stall by the lakeshore, and selected a pair of drama face strokes for Qin Yan to see. Qin Yan decisively took out the money, "Buy!" ”

"I didn't say I wanted to." Ji Xiamo's eyes behind the mask 'revealed' a cunning light.

"I don't lack money, you don't want to save it, I'll buy it for you." Qin Yan's brain 'door' was against the 'trench', and he patted his waist bag domineeringly.

"I buy these, but I don't necessarily like them." Ji Xia Mo deliberately made it difficult for Qin Yan.

"Then the master will wrap up this street, there is always something that can please you."

"The bear child of the loser, you have to keep a low profile as a corrupt official." Ji Xia Mo put the mask in Qin Yan's arms and laughed.

"I'll accept gifts from colleagues, and if you don't ask me to do things anyway, who will have trouble with the silver?" Qin Yan looked at Ji Xiamo innocently with his eyes open. "Isn't that what you taught me before?"

Ji Xia Mo looked at Qin Yan silently for a while, stretched out his hand and patted Qin Yan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "The son can be taught." ”

"Actually, it's to be cheeky." Qin Yan said with a smile.

Strolling on the shore of the lake, Ji Xiamo chatted and laughed with Qin Yan, sometimes stopping in front of the vendors, 'touching' folk gadgets and appreciating them.

There are lanterns, there are naturally lantern riddles, Qin Yan shuttled through the lantern riddles, and made a lot of jokes, provoking the passing girl to cover her mouth and laugh. Ji Xiamo covered his face and felt embarrassed, so he secretly helped Qin Yan guess the answer to the riddle, so as not to embarrass him again.

Although Qin Yan is a martial artist, he is also the son of the General's Mansion and the commander of the palace internal guards, so he can't spread the grass bags all over the imperial city tomorrow.

Qin Yan, who was too vain addicted, followed Ji Xiamo away with satisfaction, seeing that the time was late, Qin Yan said to Ji Xiamo, "Sneaking out for so long, it is estimated that Uncle Ji is going crazy, let's go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"You took me out of the house, and you were the one who was going to be beaten." Ji Xia Mo has nothing to do with herself.

"I'm not afraid of being beaten, I've long been used to being beaten by my father, I just hope that Uncle Ji won't let me enter the Prime Minister's Mansion again in the future."

"I'm ......" Ji Xiamo was just about to say more, when suddenly there was an exclamation from the street around the corner in front of him. Help, kill someone! ”

The terrible screams made the streets suddenly 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', Qin Yan's expression suddenly sharpened, and he pulled Ji Xiamo to the corner, and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me here, I'll come back immediately." ”

Ji Xiamo wanted to hold Qin Yan, but Qin Yan had already rushed towards the screams. Ji Xiamo darkened his eyes, and his hands were clenched in his sleeves.

Just after the New Year, the crowd in the imperial city is surging, and there must be officers and soldiers patrolling the imperial city, how can there be thieves who are stupid enough to kill people on the street. Did he deliberately lure Qin Yan away with Qin Yan, or was he Ji Xia Mo.

Ji Xia Mo lifted his obscure eyes, his eyes swept over the people who were running in a panic, and suddenly saw the man in black in the crowd, his 'gloomy' eyes were 'revealed' with a fierce light, and the cold light of the blade was faintly visible in his sleeves.

Several black-clothed people 'pressed' close to Ji Xiamo, and Ji Xiamo's eyes flashed with lust. It seems that someone wanted his life. ’

Ji Xia Mo decisively turned around and squeezed into the crowd, as far away from these black-clothed people as possible. Crowds of people are the most likely to commit murder, unable to flee from front to back, unable to resist when a dagger pierces into the body, and unable to find the enemy.

Qin Yan quickly rushed to the location of the scream, but the crowded street was not at all unusual, Qin Yan's brain was spinning, and suddenly his pupils dilated and he was cold, and he turned around and went crazy into the crowd. 'Ji Xia Mo!! ’

Ji Xiamo squeezed out of the crowd and quickened his pace to escape, and the black-clothed people behind him chased closely, and the number became more and more.

Ji Xia Mo was 'forced' to an empty and deserted street, away from the bustling main street of the imperial city, where it was as quiet as a dead tomb.

Ji Xiamo's body was already weak, he was already tired from messing around with Qin Yan for so long, and he was chased by the man in black, Ji Xiamo now felt weak and weak, his 'chest' mouth was suffocated and painful, his head was dizzy and blurred, and he couldn't see the reality in front of him clearly.

Ji Xia Mo leaned against the wall and watched the man in black 'approaching', his sober reason made him plan various ways to deal with it, he was in a hurry and he didn't carry a talisman and a weapon, if these men in black attacked, he could only use magic weapons.

Ji Xia Mo only uses magic weapons to subdue demons and subdue demons, if it is contaminated with mortal blood, I am afraid that it will become a karmic obstacle, but in order to save his life, Ji Xia Mo can't care about anything else.

The man in black surrounded Ji Xiamo before and after, Ji Xiamo calmly looked at the black-clothed assassin in front of him, his voice was calm and without the slightest fear, "Who are you, why do you want to assassinate me." ”

"Ji Xiamo, don't tell the wrong story in front of the Hades Palace." The man in black burst into a shout, and stabbed Ji Xiamo with his sword.

Ji Xia Mo staggered under his feet to dodge, the cloak he lifted was cut by the sword of the man in black, and the fox 'hair' on the neckline was scattered in front of the blade.

Ji Xiamo's back hit the wall, and he snorted in pain, and his face turned pale. Seeing that the sword blade stabbed again, Ji Xiamo's palm was filled with golden light, ready to sacrifice the magic weapon at any time.

Just as the blade was about to pierce Ji Xiamo's throat, the sword qi that suddenly slashed through the air cut the neck of the man in black.

The black-clothed people around them were alert, but the masters hidden in the darkness didn't give them a chance to escape at all, and the fierce sword aura harvested the lives of all the assassins.

The corpse fell to the ground, and the dark 'colored' blood slowly flowed and gathered, and the smell of blood in the air gradually became stronger. The snow 'flakes' fell again, melting in the blood that was getting colder.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, as if trying to cover the simple but bloody killing.

Ji Xiamo leaned against the cold wall, blankly looking at the man in blue who was gradually walking in the dark against the wind and snow.

The plain blue coat and the pitch-black iron sword are as deep and resolute as his master. The cold facial features are not smiling, and the cold black eyes linger in the darkness.

Parting and reuniting, the lover in front of him still seems to be a first acquaintance.

Su Lan's figure stopped in front of Ji Xiamo, and his cold palm caressed Ji Xiamo's cheek, depicting the facial features he thought about day and night.

"Thin." The low and hoarse voice remains unchanged, only the gentleness that used to be when the dream was returned.

The snow flew white each other's long green hair, and Ji Xiamo stretched out his trembling hands, wanting to touch the face of the man in front of him, but finally landed in front of his 'chest' and grabbed the man's neckline tightly.

The pain of the old wound in the body is not worth the heartache, and the heartache is not as painful as the man in front of him brings to him. The thin and trembling body was held in the man's arms, and all the pain was only choked with suffocation.

Countless days and nights of nightmares, tears and wandering thoughts turned into tears in this heavy snowfall. Ji Xia Mo trembled and tugged at the man's collar, slowly buried his face in his 'chest', whimpering like a young beast that had been away from home for several years.

"Why are you only coming back now?"

"Do you know how scared I am to be alone?"

"Brother Jin...... "q
