Suddenly heard the neighing sound of horses, hundreds of bows and arrows on the opposite side were raised, only to hear the sound of "poof", Cheng Junlin looked down, an arrow pierced through his chest, and he didn't even feel the pain, half of his body became numb, blood flowed in his chest, and the moment he fell off the horse, Cheng Junlin only had his father's roar three years ago in his mind-

"Lao Tzu's life was almost tied to Yungui, just for the sake of your kid's current life of fine clothes and food, you actually took the initiative to let Lao Tzu run to Yungui to die......"

The yellow sand is long, and the corpses are everywhere.

He thought that if he really fulfilled his father's words back then, his life would also be in Yungui......

The moment she closed her eyes, she was reminded of the girl's last hanging head, her fingers stirring the belt of her clothes, her voice was soft and stubborn, and now it became ethereal, with a flame in her eyes that did not want to be restrained, she spoke: "...... I don't want to. ”

There was a dull pain in my chest, I don't know if it was an arrow wound or a heartache......

I'm still ...... after all You're free......

At that time, the capital was a glass world of white snow and red plums, fluttering snowflakes, lingering and falling to the ground, as if laying a thick layer of white sugar, quiet and cool feeling, stepping on it, making a "squeak" and "squeak" sound, the girls in the north like to embroider beautiful patterns on the soles of their shoes, stepping on the pure white snow, leaving one painting after another......

As the curtain was lifted, a cold air entered the room, Ripples frowned slightly, and Qiu Tong smiled before anyone spoke: "What is this painting, girl?" ”

The window is pasted with translucent window paper, and you can vaguely see the scene of large snowflakes falling, and the ripples and slender fingers like shallots hold the brush, gently stretch a lazy waist, wearing a bright red skirt, and look delicate.

Thick and faint colors, the back of a young man in a brocade and purple robe is outlined on the rice paper, with heavy snow, red plums and white snow, and the back of the young man in purple looks more and more lonely.

Qiu Tong walked closer and said with a smile: "Okay, good, the girl has studied the ink of these days and laid the paper of these days, and she has finally finished drawing." ”

"It's good where it is, but it's a stupid thing, but it's a waste of good pen and ink." Ripple clumps the painting with his hands, throws it into the carbon basin, and pouts.

Qiu Tong knew what kind of character his girl was, and he didn't break it, so he said with a smile: "Today, Yungui has news again, the prince has won the battle again, and the saint wants to seal him." ”

"Oh, really?" Quietly pricked up his ears and replied nonchalantly.

"Yes, yes, in the past three years, the prince has won many battles, resisted foreigners, and protected the safety of the border people."

"Behold that you have praised him, there is nothing in heaven and there is nothing on earth, and where it is so good."

The reddish charcoal fire burning in the room made a "fluttering" and "fluttering" explosion sound, and the room was warm.

Ripples shook the water droplets on the pen, thinking that in the past three years, he was not in Beijing, but he heard more news about him than when he was in Beijing, people passed on by word of mouth, it was the young hero who fought against foreign races, and the image outlined was an iron-like spirit, a resolute face, and full of righteousness, undoubtedly, this young man was known to the world because he was born in the Qinghe Palace, but now he is really earning this merit by himself.

remembered that when he saw him for the first time, he exuded this cold aura all over his body, and then, Song County, the smiling young man full of evil spirit, the princess's mansion was undoubtedly he pulled her back from the edge of life and death, and he should have a good impression, so he thought that he was the life-saving benefactor of the dragon and phoenix among people.

However, looking at the chilling appearance of many subordinates in the princess's mansion when they faced him, and occasionally heard one or two comments about him from the subordinates, Ripples retreated.

She has lived for 12 years, she likes comfort the most, she is most afraid of twists and turns, especially away from hazy things, she is not sunny and outgoing enough, and she strives to live as she is now, but she is afraid that she will accidentally fall back to the bottom, in a sense, they are essentially the same kind of people, not sunny enough, and dark inside.

It's not that he can't see that he has a good impression of himself, but this good feeling makes Ripples erect spikes all over his body to resist this sudden variable in life.

Ripple thought that he had never seen him as a normal teenager, but as an intruder full of variables and self-serving.

Don't ask about cause and effect, just want to expel

How ...... It's not fair!

In the past three years, she has often dreamed, good and bad, and it has become an obsession.

I listened a lot, and I dreamed day and night.

In those dreams, there was only one back, wearing a brocade robe with large purple flowers, and his hair fluttered with the wind.

Again and again, the young man turned from her face and spoke softly, "Don't be afraid, I will find a way to set you free...... The hem of his purple robe was slightly lifted by the wind, and the ripples tried to make her turn back again and again to see his face clearly, but she couldn't.

He was the only person she had ever seen who could wear purple so well, and he had once stretched out his hand to him in the water of the river, smiling at her, his eyes burning.

Not...... Actually marry him...... It's not unacceptable......

The sky gradually darkened, and every household turned on the lights, but in a courtyard of Qixia Academy, it was still pitch black.

Ye Zhizhang opened his eyes in the dark, and there was a dagger next to the pillow, inlaid with gems and carved with intricate patterns, a unique style of the Prince's Mansion.

"Hehe......" In the dark, someone chuckled.

It's so elusive, it's really impossible to get rid of.

Ye Zhizhang sat up, put on his clothes, didn't light the lamp, knew that there was another person in the house, and didn't speak, he poured a glass of water in the dark, but the teacup was taken away halfway, so he drank half a cup with his hand.

The prince's voice stopped in his ear: "What? Do you think about the conditions I prescribed? ”

Ye Zhizhang picked up another teacup by himself, and drank the herbal tea in a sip by the bright moonlight outside the window, only to feel comfortable in his stomach, he spoke, with a mocking smile in his tone: "You can even think of the attention of securing the marriage between me and the sick granddaughter of Liu Guogong's mansion, I really underestimated you." ”

He didn't say yes, he didn't say no. The prince looked at this young man with an indisputable face by the moonlight, which was different from the simple and even somewhat naïve person in the past.

The former slender boy is now seventeen years old, according to the past practice, he should be bored, he loves boys, only loves little boys, when he is older, his bones are hard, his face is no longer green, and he is no longer what he likes.

Only, the young man in front of him made him taste the taste of lovesickness.

Why like him? At first because of looks, then ...... It is the clean warmth in his eyes, from twelve to fourteen years old, a child with a big clean smile in his eyes, such a good-looking child, when he laughs, there are peach blossoms blooming in his eyes, and his pupils are as refreshing and bright as the ink-colored glass balls he has treasured for a long time, with tolerance for all right and wrong in this world, like a murmuring stream, which amazes the old times.

"You...... It's better to laugh when you're young. The prince spoke, in a low and stoic tone.

"Really? I feel better now. Ye Zhizhang's lips were a casual smile, a sharp, flat, silent, and unwavering voice.

In three years, he has changed so much, he is no longer the soft and clean child he was at the beginning, he has become a wanton and forbearant teenager today, obviously the reason he liked it at the beginning is no longer there, this teenager has changed his face of survival, but what to do, I still like him and want to stay by my side.

The prince leaned on the back of the chair, shining in the frost-white moonlight, his eyes burning, staring at the young man in front of him for a long time.

The flames of the charcoal brazier gradually weakened, the unclosed window sash was blown open by the cold wind, the charcoal brazier made a "crackling" sound, and the white gas exhaled by the two of them was visible when they spoke.

Suddenly, the prince approached him, leaned over, kissed him gently, hooked the corners of his mouth, and sneaked up the joy of success.

"Hiss-" The blood stains that suddenly popped out dyed the placket of his clothes, Ye Zhizhang held the dagger engraved with intricate patterns in his hand, between his eyebrows, there was a touch of fierce killing intent, wiped the blood on the top of the dagger with his hand, and chuckled: "Don't forget what you said when you gave me this dagger." ”

"Heh......" The prince lowered his head, hiding the loneliness on his face, and a smile appeared in his voice, "If I really want to move you, where is it that a dagger promises to stop it?" If I don't want to hurt you, why do you remember these ......?"

Ye Zhizhang looked at him coldly, his dark eyes were bottomless, and he said lightly: "What secret news do you want to tell me today?" If you want to say it, say it quickly, otherwise, hurry up, if you bleed to death here, I can't afford to bear the charge of assassinating the prince, and the entire Ye family can't afford it. ”

The prince chuckled: "I think you are caring about me." After a pause, he spoke: "It's okay today, but let's take a look at you and see how you prepare for the exam, after all, if it wasn't for me three years ago, I'm afraid you would be the new champion now......"

"It's good to go, don't send it." Ye Zhizhang interrupted him coldly and ordered the expulsion.

The prince's face was ugly, but he couldn't in the end, endured it, and said: "You remember to close the windows and ask the little boy to come in and add charcoal, oh, my drug dose is not large, and in a moment and a half, they should all wake up." ”

In the dark, Ye Zhizhang watched the man push the door out, and after a while, a few lights were lit outside the door, and there was a sound of Suo Suo in the house, the window was closed, and the charcoal basin was rejuvenated, and the warmth of the room, the little boy spoke softly with a sleepy voice: "Childe, do you want to drink water?" ”

Ye Zhizhang didn't reply to him, and the nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
