What he meant was that the first time she successfully entered the study, she was lucky, and tonight, it was he who secretly helped. Xiyue didn't doubt his words, after being by Yan Xu's side for three years, she knew Yun Wei's ability, not to mention Yun Wei, there was no Yun Wei last time, if it wasn't for Zishuo's help when she left, she was almost discovered by the palace guards. But she had already transcribed a copy of the Northern Secret tonight, and she wouldn't go again. But she didn't want to admit his affection, so she just said that she didn't care about you, and turned around to leave.

Zishuo said again: "In his study, have you seen any records about the Ten Directions or anything else?" ”

Xiyue was stunned, and looked at him inexplicably, "Ten strategies...... What is that? ”

He thought for a while before he said: "No one knows what the Ten Directions are, only that it is called the Ten Directions, and it is said that it has won the world, and there are not many people in the world who are secretly looking for it, including Yan Xu, who has been tirelessly looking for things related to the Ten Directions over the years." ”

Xiyue suddenly remembered that the last time she visited Yan Xu's secret room at night, she had seen those maps and ancient books, and she still remembered that on one of the maps, there was Yan Xu's handwriting: Heaven and earth have ten directions, and one strategy is to paint ten thousand souls. She didn't understand the meaning at the time, but now that she heard Zishuo say this, that sentence was actually related to seizing the world, she was secretly shocked in her heart, although she knew that Yan Xu had ambitions, but she never thought that his heart was so big, and he actually wanted to rebel and rebel.

If Yan Xu did something rebellious, of course she would not tell the flame envoy in front of her what she knew. She deliberately pondered for a moment before saying, "I haven't seen it." You said that there are not many people in the world who are looking for ...... What about you? Are you looking for it too? If it weren't for that, what was he doing hiding near Yan Xu's study in the middle of the night?

Zishuo didn't deny it, "Yes, I'm looking for it too." ”

Xiyue sneered, "Hey, I didn't know that a little flame envoy also has the desire to compete for the world, you just said, you didn't hesitate to sneak into the flame division for me, in my opinion, you are for the ten strategies, right?" ”

This last sentence made Zishuo's originally faint expression cold in vain, and the lone wolf-like starry eyes narrowed slightly, staring directly at Xiyue's face, making her panic for no reason. Zishuo leaned forward, his voice extremely low, as if suppressing some kind of anger, "I said that I entered the Flame Division for you. I owe you, and I will pay it back for the rest of my life. I am indeed looking for the Ten Directions, but the purpose of Yan Xu and I is different, he is looking for the Ten Directions to get it, and I ...... But to destroy it. ”

Her heart shook and she looked at him with wide eyes, and he looked directly at her without showing weakness, and the two were at a stalemate for a while. Zishuo looked down at the woman in front of him who was once familiar with each other, but now she was like a silent road, which made his heart swell, his heart softened, and he slowed down his tone, "Yezi, I know you don't believe me now, but one day, you will know my intentions." Also, in another month, Yan Xu will go to Weidi, and then you have to think of a way to persuade Yan Xu to take you. ”

In fact, Xiyue had already planned to take her with Yang Yanxu when she arrived, otherwise she would not have taken the risk of stealing the Northern Secret Secret, but Zishuo said this, which made her feel strange, "Why?" ”

This time, Zishuo didn't want to say more, but said, "Just do it." ”

She was imprisoned in Jiyue Palace, Yun Wei was heavily defended, it was extremely difficult for him to take her out of the palace, and she was like a beast to him now, she would definitely not cooperate with him, and she could only act when she left the palace.

Xiyue returned to her room under the cover of Zi Shuo, she was lying on the bed, still thinking about Zi Shuo's words in her head. He is really strange, obviously he has repeatedly guarded against him, and has repeatedly sneered at him, but he doesn't care, he has helped her successfully avoid the palace guards and Yan Xu's people, and even he is looking for such a secret thing as Shifang Ce is not taboo to let her know, he is not worried that she will go to Yan Xu to denounce him? Why was he so sure she would keep it a secret for him?

Then it occurred to her that she really hadn't thought to report him, why was that? Just because he keeps saying that everything he does is for her? She quickly denied this idea, if she went to Yan Xu to denounce him, she would probably let Yan Xu know that she had been to his secret room, which would definitely cause Yan Xu to be angry, so exposing him was tantamount to exposing herself, which was the reason why he was sure that she would not betray him. What a shameless person, she felt a little disdain in her heart.

She was a little irritable, turned sideways and closed her eyes, but even with her eyes closed, her mind was still full of Zishuo's words, which made her toss and turn and couldn't sleep. She reached out to touch the already faint scar on her left wrist, and couldn't help but wonder, is he really her fiancé, as he said? The thought startled herself, and she shook her head, not thinking more. Since she couldn't sleep, she simply turned over and sat up, and took out the Northern Secret Secret transcribed tonight and read it carefully.

Yan Xu really didn't break her promise, although she was still busy, she also took time out to come over to see her every day, sometimes she was too busy, and she didn't forget to send someone to inform her, so that she didn't have to wait for him. Xiyue practiced dancing during the day, and secretly practiced the Northern Secret at night. Although she has no memory, she can understand those mental methods at a glance, she guesses that it is because she has a martial arts foundation, and she has practiced martial arts since she was a child.

She secretly rejoiced in her heart, and her eyes were getting closer and closer to the day when Yan Xu would go on the expedition, and she began to think about how to beg Yan Xu to allow her to go with her. Yan Xu has never liked her out of the palace, and it took a lot of effort to see the lantern festival during the last festival Yan Xu agreed, this expedition, at least in March and April, according to Yan Xu's temperament, she was really not sure. She struggled about this for several days, but she didn't expect things to go smoothly and unexpectedly.

On this night, in order to encourage morale, and King Rui was still in Yicheng, he deliberately set up a banquet in the palace for Yan Xu and his party to practice. The banquet was very lively, but the emperor made another mistake because of his old problems, showed his face for a while, said a few words of encouragement, and then drove back, only letting the prince Yanmin and everyone drink the banquet. Recently, the emperor's dragon body has deteriorated, and although he is not too satisfied with the prince, he has also begun to rely on the prince. It's just that because of the last time they smashed the chair, the father and son spoke in a ** tone, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Xiyue knew that her identity was slight, so she didn't dare to show off at the banquet, and she didn't stick to Yan Xu as usual, so she only sat behind Yan Xu obediently and poured wine and dishes for him from time to time. Although she lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, she could always feel the sharp gaze of King Rui, who sat at the head of the crown prince, on her face. She knew that King Rui had always been strict with Yan Xu, and she didn't know if she had prejudiced her by listening to some gossip, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, and when she poured wine, she accidentally spilled some wine and wet Yan Xu's robe.

Yan Xu saw that there was a slight dark blue under her eyes, and asked, "But it's uncomfortable?" The face is so pale. ”

In fact, she practiced the Northern Secret Technique for days and nights until she didn't sleep enough. She hurriedly shook her head, wiped it for him with a handkerchief, and said, "It's okay, but thinking that you will go on the expedition soon, I am worried about you, and second, I am ...... You also know that you can't come back for a year and a half, so how can I feel at ease? She raised her eyes to look at him and said tentatively: "Jinyun, why don't you let me go with you, I just want to be able to wait by your side, and I will never cause you trouble." ”

Yan Xu didn't have any surprise or unhappiness on his face, he only said: "On the march to fight, the military life is hard, it's not something ordinary people can endure, can you endure those hardships?" If you regret it halfway, you have no turning back, so don't blame me then. ”

Xiyue was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "As long as I can be by your side, I will not be afraid of more suffering, I promise, there will be no complaints." ”

Yan Xu glanced at her noncommittally, "I remember." ”

After he said that, he got up and went to change his clothes, Xiyue didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he was secretly happy.

Yan Xufang changed into clean clothes, and King Rui followed, "She's a foreigner?" Yan Xu nodded, and King Rui said: "Listen to Tong Mo, she wanted to assassinate you that day, although Tong Mo's Tianyin Qin is unique in the world, but there are no absolutes in the world, in case one day she regains her memory...... It is always a hidden danger for you to keep her by your side, and in my opinion, it is better to imprison her and save trouble, just eat and drink for her, and then escort her to Shifang in September next year. ”

Yan Xu kept his head down, and when he heard the words, he said: "Father, please rest assured, Lord Tong's Tianyin Qin is unclear to anyone in the world." The child asked her to stay by her side, thinking that she and Yili were like brothers and sisters, or she could force Yili to be used by me, so the child would also take her with her on this expedition. ”

King Rui was silent for a moment, and finally didn't say anything more, only told him to be careful in everything.

After King Rui left, Yan Xu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, every time his father was silent, he always felt an invisible pressure, wrapping him heavily, and under this pressure, in order to satisfy his father, he began to have reservations about him, and always spoke in his own favor.

Just like Fang Cai, he didn't tell the truth, in fact, his father was right, Xiyue is a foreigner, a descendant of the Fuxi clan, he needs to use her blood to open the mechanism of the ten directions, he has obtained her, he can completely imprison her, and escort her to the ten conveniences when everything is ready. But he didn't do it, he deliberately treated her when she was most helpless, making her fall in love with him, all for revenge.

There is no snow tonight, the moonlight is clear, the grass and trees in the courtyard have a clear fragrance, the hall is still staggered, the wine and meat are fragrant, and the outside is like two worlds. Yan Xu took a deep breath of the crisp fragrance, and was about to walk towards the main hall, but saw a purple-clothed beauty walking in his direction.

"Son, please stay."

Yan Xu was slightly stunned, "Hua Yuan? ”

The purple-clothed beauty is the county lord of Hua Yuan, Yan Xu knows that the Queen Mother is looking for a princess for Yan Min, and Hua Yuan is the one she loves the most. It used to be fine, but at this very time, it was quite inappropriate for him to meet her alone. He just nodded his head and said hello, and wanted to leave.

Hua Yuan deliberately came out to find him, seeing him so alienated, she felt sad, but if she missed tonight, she didn't know if there would be a chance to talk about it in the future, so she gritted her teeth and said: "The prince will go on the expedition in a few days, Hua Yuan has always wanted to practice for the prince and Cousin Yuan, but I know that you are so busy that your feet don't touch the ground, and Hua Yuan doesn't dare to make a mistake." ”

Yan Xu had no choice but to stop, but the expression on his face was still faint, "It's okay, I'll come back in just half a year, I don't need to deliberately practice it for me, Qingzhou will be idle tomorrow, you can talk about it tomorrow." ”

Qingzhou is Yuan Mu's word, last time because of the Yuan family's contribution to raising grain, Yan Xu took special care of it this time, Yuan Mu also received a counselor in the army, and went to Wei with Yan Xu.

When Hua Yuan heard him say this, she didn't even give her half a chance, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, but when she thought that if she missed this opportunity, she would marry the prince who was two years younger than herself and had a withdrawn temperament. Shizi Liutao Sanluo is all-encompassing, this time he is in command again, and he will definitely be able to recover Weidi, Hua Yuan wishes Shizi a victory and an early victory. She took out a sachet embroidered with hibiscus patterns from the purse on her waist, her pretty face was dark red, and her voice trembled a little, "Hua Yuan has been admiring the world for a long time, I don't know if the world is willing to accept Hua Yuan's sincere heart?" ”

Hua Yuan has lived in the Empress Dowager's palace for four or five years, and she is careful about herself, Yan Xu actually knew that he didn't reach out to pick up the sachet, and his expression was as cold as before, "Recovering Wei Land is His Majesty's grand wish, Jinyun will never give up, and he doesn't dare to be the word hard work." I have always been unaccustomed to using the sachet, cherish the moon to know my preferences, in the past only to give me embroidered not incense purse. Since this sachet has been made, leave it to Qingzhou tomorrow and say goodbye. ”

As he spoke, he did not look at her any more, and passed by, his sleeve brushed, and the sachet fell silently to the ground.

In fact, before coming out to find Yan Xu, Hua Yuan had thought that Yan Xu might not promise her anything lightly, but she didn't expect him to refuse so simply. She originally wanted to say something to win over, she is the only daughter in the family, her parents love her very much, if she marries Yan Xu, her father Ping'an Hou will definitely become his strong backing. Of course, this was just her own thoughts, and she never thought that her marriage had been calculated by the present day. She also wanted to tell him that she knew that he doted on Xiyue, and she would treat Xiyue well in the future and would never compete with her for favor.

It's a pity that he didn't even give her a chance to say these words. His sentence "cherish the moon and know my preferences" instantly disillusioned all her hopes, and she only felt sad in her heart and burst into tears. That dancing girl who doesn't understand anything is so good? She asked herself, no matter her family background, appearance, and talent, there was nothing that was a hundred times better than that woman, but he didn't even think about it, so he rejected her directly. She covered her face and whimpered.

"Hua Yuan...... Why are you doing this? Yuan Mu had already seen that Hua Yuan's face was wrong at the banquet, and when he saw her come out for a long time, he was uneasy, so he followed her out to take a look, and saw her talking to Yan Xu from a distance, and saw her crying sadly at this moment, and he knew what was going on.

Hua Yuan raised her head, her face stained with tears, "You don't understand anything!" I don't want to marry the crown prince! I only like Jin Yun, I have liked him since I was a child, and I have liked him since I first met him in the palace...... You don't understand what it's like to secretly like someone......"

At that time, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, it was the beginning of the girl's love, the first time she entered the palace, the queen mother took her hand to look left and right, happy, and she looked at the young man outside the hall, people were stunned all of a sudden, the first time to experience what the heart is like a deer, since then, the only purpose of her life in the palace is to see Yan Xu. It's just that he always looks indifferent and speaks coldly, she thinks that he is probably too worried about the princess who died of illness on the second day of marriage.

It wasn't until soon after that the woman named Xiyue suddenly appeared, and he put all his heart on her, and she saw him smile in front of Xiyue, and she knew that his smile was so good-looking. One qiē is all because of the woman named Xiyue...... She covered her face and ran away.

Yuan Mu was stunned for a moment, his expression was lonely, what was it like to secretly like someone, how could he not understand? He took two steps forward and picked up the sachet on the ground, the fragrance of hibiscus flowers emanated from the bag, he stroked the silk thread on the bag, and gently collected it into his sleeve.

After only two steps, Hua Yuan suddenly went and returned, "Cousin Yuan, please for the sake of you and I growing up together, Hua Yuan wants to ask you for a favor." ”
