In October of the ninth year of Yuan You, Xiao Feng quelled the rebellion of the Jurchen tribe and returned to the dynasty. Yelu Hongji, the lord of Liao, was overjoyed, and despite the impeachment of Xiao Feng for abusing the leather room by the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, he insisted on restoring Xiao Feng's title as the king of the Southern Court, and even more named the king of Wei, rewarding countless gold and silver beauties. However, Xiao Feng was already disheartened by this smoky Daliao officialdom, not only did he not want to accept the reward, but also said that he would return to Nanjing to guard Azhu's tomb.

Even the Great Liao veteran Yelu Renxian is no match for the flintlock pistol, and only Xiao Feng has the ability to break the Jurchen. With such a talent, how can Yelu Hongji let go? He saw that Xiao Feng was grieving for Azhu's death, so he smiled and promised. "Since my brother likes the beautiful women of the Han people, why is it difficult to choose a thousand or two thousand Han beauties to serve you when I raise an army to attack the Song Kingdom?"

Xiao Feng only smiled bitterly when he heard this, the Great Song Dynasty now has flintlock pistols and artillery, who will crusade against whom in the future, do you need to say? He was silent for a while and only replied in a low voice: "Thank you for your kindness, but Azhu is Azhu, the countries of the four seas, for thousands of years, there is only one Azhu." How can a thousand or 10,000 Han beauties replace it? With that, he left the palace gloomily. After that, he didn't care whether Yelu Hongji agreed or not, he took charge of his resignation, and rode back to Nanjing alone without waiting for approval to settle down next to Azhu's tomb.

Xiao Yuanshan saw that his son had no intention of pursuing a career for Azhu and also came to persuade him, and the meaning in his words was nothing more than that the eldest husband had no wife, and it was really unwise to waste his skills for a mere woman.

Xiao Yuanshan said righteously, but Xiao Feng saw that his father had no affection when he mentioned Azhu, but he felt a chill in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ask: "At the beginning of the year, while the child was in Beijing, how many ladies did my father see for the child?" ”

As soon as Xiao Feng's words came out, Xiao Yuanshan's old face suddenly became hot, and he said in a moment's time: "Daddy is not thinking about you......

Xiao Fengshi and Xiao Yuanshan had nothing to say, so they only sat back to Ah Zhu's tomb and raised the altar to drink.

In November, it snowed heavily in the sky, and three days of heavy goose feather snow wrapped the entire Nanjing Road in a plain white silver. Even Ah Zi, who had been making noise in Xiao Feng's ears for several days, was frozen back to the Great King's Mansion in the Southern Courtyard by this ghost weather that turned into ice, but he taught Xiao Feng's ears to be much cleaner.

In the evening, the wind and snow were beginning to fall, and the sky was gloomy. The gray sky was starless and moonless, like a crude porcelain bowl upside down in the wilderness where Aju was sleeping, cutting this place off from the outside world into two worlds.

Xiao Feng guarded this isolated and quiet world alone, drinking wine bowl after bowl. I don't know how long later, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the cottage. With such bad weather, Xiao Feng really couldn't imagine who else would come to see him, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look out the window.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves gradually increased, and two men on tall horses came to visit. The person at the head has a face like a crown of jade and is dressed in splendid clothes, it is Murong Fu. And the person who walked with him had a dark complexion and a mediocre appearance, but it was the alien guard Taishan under Murong Fu.

Seeing these two people stepping on the snow, Xiao Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly pushed open the firewood door and walked out.

The two looked at each other wordlessly for a long time, Murong Fu suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said softly: "Big brother, don't you invite me in for a bowl of wine?" ”

"You ......" Xiao Feng looked at Murong Fu for a long time with a complicated mind, and finally sighed gently. Please! ”

"Taishan, you go and sacrifice Azhu for me." Murong Fu turned his head and ordered Taishan, and then took down two jars of wine from under the saddle.

Walking into the grass house, Murong Fu Fang found that this grass house was ventilated everywhere, and it was not much warmer than the outside. Xiao Feng was able to be at ease in this environment, and his affection for Azhu was really speechless. I saw Murong Fu looking around in the grass house, and casually put two jars of wine on the table and said, "The ten-year Dongpo wine was the first batch of wine I made that year. ”

Xiao Feng didn't speak, but silently opened the two jars of wine brought by Murong Fu, and turned out two large bowls and filled them one by one. "!"

Seeing that Xiao Feng simply poured down one of the bowls of wine, Murong Fu couldn't help but smile slightly, followed by the wine bowl, and drank it all without blinking.

"Sit!" Xiao Feng wiped his mouth, and then beckoned Murong Fu to take a seat.

"Thank you!" Murong Fu smiled again, unbuttoned his cloak and took off his gloves, and sat down opposite Xiao Feng with a golden sword.

The two of them were relatively silent, and they buried their heads in a few bowls of spirits. Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and sighed: "The martial arts of the second brother and the third brother are also outstanding, but when it comes to the amount of alcohol, it is ...... seriously" When it comes to the amount of alcohol, only Murong Fu, who has been drinking with Xiao Feng for ten years, is Xiao Feng's good drinking friend.

Hearing Xiao Feng mention Xuzhu and Duan Yu, Murong Fu didn't even move his eyebrows. I saw him bow his head and pour a bowl of wine again, and then asked, "What are the plans of the eldest brother in the future?" ”

“…… My temper is only suitable for rolling in the rivers and lakes, and it is really invincible to officialdom. In the future, whether it is herding horses and sheep, or plowing for fun, it is not a good thing to be unknown to the public. Xiao Feng looked down at the clear wine, and suddenly smiled to himself. Murong, you persuaded me earlier, but unfortunately I didn't understand it at that time. ”

Murong Fu didn't answer, but silently picked up the wine bowl in front of him and touched Xiao Feng's.

Xiao Feng obviously hid a lot of things on his mind, and he wanted to pour them out. "Azhu died outside the city of Tongzhou. At that time, Wanyan Aguda had just led the army away, and the king of Song, Yeluren, first asked me if I wanted to give up halfway? …… Halfway...... Murong, I suddenly remembered you, when Princess Shushou died of illness and Master Su lost her left phase...... "The situation of the Shu Party is already bleak, but the gentlemen in the Shu Party are still unaware, especially if they don't know that this guillotine is about to fall." At that time, Xiao Feng actually didn't understand. He just couldn't bear to see Murong Fu dragging his sick body around and planning hard, and he had to be criticized by everyone for being critical, so he persuaded him. "I always thought I knew you very well, but it wasn't until Azhu passed away that I really understood how difficult it was for you at that time......"

Murong Fu's eyes were hot, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide the past. After a while, he smiled and said, "Big brother, I am different from you, I have no love for Princess Shushou. ”

"That's why you feel more indebted, isn't it?" Xiao Feng said clearly.

Murong Fu was silent again.

"I owe Ah Zhu, I can't pay it off in this life!" Xiao Feng didn't need Murong Fu's answer, he just raised his head and sighed. The boy didn't flick when he had tears, but he was so sad and guilty that his face was full of tears at this time.

Murong Fu still didn't speak, and Xiao Feng drank one after another, and he didn't say anything to persuade him, but poured him wine vigorously. Xiao Feng drank a lot of wine, and after a while, he drank all the two jars of good wine brought by Murong Fu. Fortunately, there was also a lot of fine wine hidden in this cottage, and Murong Fu soon brought out a few jars to accompany Xiao Feng to drink together.

After the wine was half-drunk, Murong Fu finally asked in a low voice: "Big brother doesn't ask me why I'm here today?" ”

“…… I know that you have always regarded Azhu as a sister, and Azhu must be very happy that you can come to see her. Thinking of Azhu's dying predecessor begging him to reconcile with Murong Fuyan, Xiao Feng was just at a loss in his heart.

"Big brother, now that the enemy is sitting in front of you, you don't want to take revenge?" Murong Fu asked again.

This question is really sharp, and it instantly shatters the little warmth that remains between the two. I saw Xiao Feng's eyes deep, looking at Murong Fu and saying word by word: "Murong, I know that you are talented and far-sighted, I only hope that you will use your talents for the country and the people." ”

"For the sake of the people of the world, are you willing to give up revenge?" Murong Fu's voice became deeper and lower, as if he was struggling to suppress something.

This time, it was Xiao Feng's turn not to speak.

"Big brother, if I say that I never thought of reviving Dayan, do you believe it or not?" Xu is smell of alcohol, and Murong Fu finally couldn't help but ask a stupid word.

Xiao Feng really didn't know how to answer. He is not a foolish and loyal person, and when he read the first draft of "Saying Yue Quan's Biography", he also strongly supported Yue Wangye to kill the faint king. When he returned to Daliao to become the king of the Southern Courtyard, he also deeply realized what it was like to be a minister with a faint king. I saw that he was silent for a long time, and finally only burst out with one sentence: "Murong, you are so self-conscious!" With that, he got up and left.

Seeing that Xiao Feng was leaving, Murong Fu finally became furious. I saw him Huo Ran get up, slammed over the table in front of him, and shouted: "Xiao Feng! ”

Xiao Feng always turned his back to Murong Fu and did not look back, and replied calmly: "Lord Murong, please go back!" ”

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu laughed out loud when he heard this, and said coldly: "Since I am here, I will not leave until the matter is finished!" ”

Xiao Feng finally turned around and asked in a deep voice, "Does Lord Murong want to take his life to prevent future troubles?" However, despite his words, there was no murderous intent in his eyes.

Murong Fu stared at him for a while, then suddenly shook his head in disappointment. "As soon as Azhu dies, the eldest brother is like a god who has been destroyed, and he is no longer the Xiao Feng who stood up to the sky and the earth before, it makes no difference whether I kill you or not. The little brother just doesn't understand, feelings, is it really so important? ”

Hearing Murong Fu's question, Xiao Feng was also disappointed, and only shook his head and sighed: "Lord Murong, you can only see fame, fortune and power in your eyes, so naturally you will never understand. ”

"Fame and fortune? Power? Murong Fu repeated ominously, and suddenly smiled slightly with an unpredictable expression. No, big brother, it's you who don't understand! Since I was a child, I have been taught by my elders not to let my feelings sway, which will affect my judgment and shake my will. This affection includes family affection, friendship, and naturally love. The love and hatred that the world is crazy about and can't extricate themselves from, for me, never over! The so-called love parting, begging, since I can restrain myself, why can't you? ”

"Because we've never been all the way!" Xiao Feng turned his face sideways and didn't want to look at him, so he chased away the guest again. "Let's go! I don't want to quarrel with you here. ”

"Here? Where is it? Azhu's tomb? So what? She is dead, and when she dies, she is no longer valuable. I never felt sorry for her in her life. After she died, I was going to continue to fulfill my long-overdue wish, what's wrong? Murong Fu couldn't help but sneer, his originally handsome face was full of ruthlessness and coldness like a blade.

"What wish?" Xiao Feng said strangely.

Murong Fu didn't answer, he just looked at Xiao Feng and suddenly smiled secretly. It was a smile that all men knew. "Big brother, haven't you noticed anything wrong with this wine so far?"

Xiao Feng was suddenly startled, and hurriedly secretly exercised his skills. However, after a week of internal breathing, he found no anomaly. On the contrary, he found that his body gradually became hot, and even his breathing gradually became thicker, and he faintly realized that the wine was not poisonous. But what it was, he didn't dare to think about it. "Murong Fu, what do you mean?" Xu is internal breath was mobilized to speed up the medicinal properties, Xiao Feng actually felt that his legs were slightly weak at this time, and he couldn't help but scream in surprise and anger.

"I've done it so obviously, don't you know what I mean, big brother?" Murong Fu pulled loosening his collar, stepped forward unhurriedly, grabbed Xiao Feng's jaw, and slowly leaned up.

One, long, kiss.

Lips and teeth touch, then slowly go deeper. This kiss is so sweet and domineering, but it is so crazy and bitter.

Xiao Feng's eyes widened in disbelief, and he slashed over with his palm without thinking. "Murong Fu!"

Murong Fu also slapped back a palm without thinking, and the strong palm power was like a mountain and a sea, but his voice was extremely frivolous. "Big brother, you can resist until we decide the winner!"

By the bright candlelight, Xiao Feng could clearly see that Murong Fu was completely excited, as if he had been ignited, and even the eyes that had always been cold and silent were shining with sparks. The fists intersected, and the two of them fought in this square inch of land, and the danger was extremely evil. But Xiao Feng's breathing became heavier and shorter, and his instinct, which had been sleeping for a long time, was gradually awakened, and finally dominated Yiqiē.

When I walked out of the grassland, I saw that the east was white, and there were still a few stars at the end of the sky, stubbornly watching this ice and snow, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time. Murong Fu stood in the snow and let Taishan put on his cloak for him, looked up at the boundless sky, sighed with satisfaction, and turned over on his horse.

Taishan, who had been working as a stake next to Azhu's tomb all night, saw that Murong Fu's hands were white from the cold, and immediately realized that Murong Fu had dropped a pair of gloves. But at this time, Taishan knew that he shouldn't say more words related to Xiao Feng, so he only asked angrily: "Master, don't you want to see Miss Azhu?" "Taishan has been ordered to secretly protect Azhu Abi many times, knowing that Murong Fu regards them as close relatives.

At this time, when Azhu was mentioned, Murong Fu couldn't help but be a little surprised, and only shook his head and said, "Next time!" In fact, if Murong Fu could go to pay tribute to Azhu, he would see that Xiao Feng's tombstone for Azhu was only written "Azhu's Tomb" instead of "Tomb of his beloved wife Azhu". It's a pity that at least today he really doesn't have this face, and Taishan doesn't know Chinese characters.

"Murong Fu!" The two were about to set off, but Xiao Feng chased them out at this time and grabbed Murong Fu's reins. "You ......" His expression was extremely complicated, and he burst out after a long time. Are you crazy?! ”

Murong Fu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then replied calmly: "This is indeed the craziest thing I have ever done. ”

"You...... You, why? Xiao Feng was powerless to ask. At this moment, his mind went blank, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be turned upside down, teaching him not how to react.

"Why?" Murong Fu looked up at the dark gray sky for a while, and said indifferently. "Xiao Feng, I don't want things to be like today. But since I'm not happy, I'm naturally willing to do everything I can to make you unhappy as I am! ”

"Crazy...... You're really crazy......" Xiao Feng muttered.

"You still don't let go? Do you want me to stay with you one more day? Murong Fu said with a smile. The smile was as cold as a sword.

Xiao Feng was reminded by his words, as if he had been stung by a poisonous bee, and hurriedly let go of his hand.

Murong Fu couldn't help laughing when he saw that Xiao Feng was afraid of him like a snake and scorpion. Although his eyebrows were still not loosened, he did not hesitate to spur his horse away.
