Hongchen's eyes suddenly became a little sour.

You don't need to ask to know that the young man's exile to the frontier was by no means a smooth road, how many years, he hid in the shadows, suffered, will become what he is now, and must have suffered a lot.

Lin Qi lowered his head and was silent, as if he had fallen into an eternal sleep. Hongchen held his wrist and laughed in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, I know you as a person, I know you as a person, so I know that everything they say is slander, people like you will not escape, let's find a way together, you see, Luo Niang and Xiao Yan have suffered so much, there is still a future, you also have it, whether you want to clear the stigma on your body, or revive the Lin family, or want the old Marquis Lin to be innocent and stand up to the sky, we will help you...... In life, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, facts are facts, and illusions will never come true. ”

Lin Qi felt that his heart was numb, and it was hot.

It's at the bottom of the cliff now, and the killer above may not be far away.

The wind is cold, but the blood is hot, boiling hot, lying from the top of the head to the heart. He never thought that there would be someone else who could say to him, no big deal!

His proud family, for whom he was willing to give his life, was gone, and the king he was loyal to and assisted him had put a hat on him that would make him never recover, and he had been in despair every minute and every second for ten years.

Today he was finally told that everything will pass and that facts will always be facts.

But......

Lin Qi was a little cold, and he was closer to Hongchen, absorbing the warmth on her body: "That year." My brothers and I went out with my father, it was the emperor's personal expedition, Yu Sheng was in command of the old man, and the national teacher was in charge, it was a battle that must be won, and many nobles in the capital squeezed in to share some military merits, but I didn't expect that it was an ambush for my father, but he was ambushed by mistake, and the reinforcements that had been planned to come were not seen. I was holding the yin charm that my father had given me. Yu Shuai's handwritten letter, fighting his way out of the encirclement to ask for help, found the Nine Emperors, and the Nine Emperors promised me to go back immediately to see the situation. Reinforcements were sent immediately. I'm anxious. And trusting him, he returned first and slew the enemy with his father and brother until the end. Daddy still didn't believe that the reinforcements would not come, he was worried about whether something happened on the road, whether the plan was leaked, the national teacher and they encountered other troubles, he was worried about the emperor's safety, worried about everything, but in the end, in the end, except for a few of my Lin family army who did not go to the Heavenly Wolf Mountain, all died in battle, Daddy refused to surrender, and also raised his knife to cut himself, only I fainted from exhaustion, buried under the bones of my brothers, saved my life, but ended up in exile. ”

Maybe he has been holding back for many years, although Lin Qi's voice is not much sad and angry, but it is full of sadness, "Others don't know, the Nine Emperors of the past, and the current King Li should always know that it is not that Daddy made a mistake in judgment, but that someone deliberately did not send reinforcements and did not go to the rescue, causing the army to fail miserably, but he didn't say anything, a prince, a coward who escaped from the battle, who will the world believe?" ”

Hongchen's heart was pounding, she couldn't believe that King Li, the future crown prince, and the emperor would do such a thing.

For a moment, she didn't even believe it.

She thinks that she won't look at the wrong person, King Li may be ruthless, maybe cautious, or criticized in many places, but when he faces foreign enemies, he will always have an indomitable momentum, that is to win the battle, ruthless, the six relatives do not recognize, and the person who dares to use any means, such a person, will he let Beiyan go in order to frame a meritorious old prince......

A sinking shoulder.

Hongchen was stunned, and reached out to support Xiao Mo's arm, his body was very hard, skinny, full of bones when touched, and it was normal to be a little cold.

The moonlight was dim, and he couldn't see it clearly, but his skin seemed to be tinged with blue, and he was innocent, innocent.

Xiao Mo's eyes fanned, as if he wanted to open them hard, his lips moved, Hongchen leaned over and leaned over, and heard him say - "Why?" You are very happy, Your Majesty wants to confer on you the title of king, you still want to choose the title yourself, we chose a 'virtuous' word for you, my father said, I hope you are as virtuous as your mother, Your Majesty agreed...... King Li, King Li, it turns out that you want to be King Li! ”

His voice grew lower and lower, until finally it was inaudible and silent.

Hongchen sat on the ground, his mind was blank, there was nothing, the sweat on his body oozed out, soaked through his clothes, and it was amazingly cold.

A rope suddenly hung down from above, and there seemed to be a shout in her ears, but as if in a dream, she couldn't hear anything, until her face was patted by a pair of cold hands, and when she looked up, she saw Lin Xu's face.

He is a bit like the senior brother he saw in his previous life, although there is sadness between his eyebrows, but more of a lenient Lin Xu has disappeared, and now he makes people feel that his chest is sluggish and uncomfortable.

"Get up."

Lin Xu knelt down and sat down, first stretched out his hand and pressed on his neck, for a long time, then suddenly leaned over and hugged Xiao Mo, forcibly helped him up, leaned against the stone wall, and then reached out to smooth the corners of his clothes, pulled away his messy hair, cleaned up the blood stains on his face, and said softly, "Xiao Qi, I have been looking for you for a long time, and I still have a lot to ask you, when you wake up, tell me slowly." ”

His voice is particularly soft and beautiful.

Hongchen likes to listen, he has always loved to listen to him talk, he loves to listen to him play the piano, and now he loves to listen even more.

I only listened to Lin Xu's voice and talk softly to Xiao Mo.

"From today on, you don't have to carry anything, no one in the Lin family cares about the name behind him, right and wrong, his descendants have commented that the grandmothers and sisters-in-law in the family are all open-minded people, and outsiders despise and slander, they don't care at all, and when you go back, you will know, now you are at home behind closed doors, and the purity you enjoy is much better than the previous busyness."

"Father, uncle, for you, for me, for all the people left, the only hope is that we can live well, revenge or something, there is no need, the traitors who will do such things will harm the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou, our Lin family has been making cattle and horses for the Great Zhou for a hundred years, is it still up to now, still working for the so-called imperial court?"

"After a while, I will finish the cause and effect, and I will take you to travel to the three mountains and five mountains to see the scenery of this world."

Babbled for a long time.

“…… You're so quiet now, I used to call you Xiao Qi. You're going to be angry. ”

He finally burst into tears.

Hongchen walked over and saw his eyes, which were like the brightest star in the dark night, shining but lonely.

"You can't stay in Qixian anymore."

I don't know how long it took, the first red glow rose in the sky, Lin Xu's face returned to his usual calmness, and he stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Mo up, "'Quicksand' kills people for profit." Never miss. The main target this time is him, you are by the way, maybe next time. ”

Glancing at Hongchen, Lin Xu sighed softly.

Xiao Mo's identity should not have been revealed. He didn't even find out. But he hid for so many years. Why did it show traces in the eyes of the Northern Yan people in the end?

He has always been careful and should not be careless.

Maybe...... Maybe unconsciously, he subconsciously made a move. Because Wan Ming, who has blood on his hands, is not allowed to touch this girl.

It was just a thought that flashed, and Lin Xu's mind was very chaotic and he couldn't bear to think deeply.

Hongchen looked at his fingers and sneered—"So what? I wish they would come back to me! ”

In this life, she has been hesitant to enter Beijing or go to Xia's house, but since the other party doesn't let her have a peaceful birthday, she has to go, and she has to go if she doesn't go.

What about the capital, isn't it still at ease?

She wants Xia Chan to pay the price, she wants everything she asks for not to get, she can't survive, she can't die.

Hongchen has good thoughts all his life, but Buddhism still has angry eyes and King Kong.

She's just angry, so what!

Lin Xu hugged Xiao Mo, went up the cliff, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the torch was still in the distance, and there was no trace of a killer, so he pulled the red dust up.

Not long after, two black-clothed people came down the hillside, and when they saw Xiao Mo, their bodies were shocked, and it took a long time to take out a snow-white silk silk from their arms, wrap the person, and carry them away.

"Wait."

Hongchen was stunned for a long time, then his eyes fell on Xiao Mo's body, reached out and touched his lips, bit his fingertips, and smeared the blood.

"It looks so much better now."

Xiao Mo was poisoned and died, his lips were very white, and he was a little red, so he had the feeling of the past.

Seeing the two black-clothed men not stop for a moment, taking Xiao Mo farther and farther, the cold wind was howling, as if to blow away the last bit of heat in the world.

"Where are you going to bury him?"

Lin Xu sighed: "You can't erect a monument...... Later, he will be buried in the ancestral hall of the Lin family. ”

He picked a place for Xiao Mo to be backed by mountains and rivers, and never erected a monument, as simple as possible, Xiao Mo likes to be simple.

Hongchen gathered his relics, and took out a small doll from the purse he hid closely, which was his own, with black hair like clouds, gentle eyes, excellent maintenance, without a trace of scratches, showing that the owner tried to play. Holding her shoulders, she felt for a moment that this life was boring and meaningless to do it all over again, and then a great anger rose from her chest.

"I decided, it's not just Xia Cicada who will die, if King Li is really as Xiao Mo said, it is the culprit of the Lin family's disaster, and he will have to pay the price!"

Lin Xu glanced at Hongchen, his eyes flashed, "Actually, King Li is not ......"

He wanted to speak again and again, but his expression gradually softened, and he said in a low voice: "...... In this case, Muddy Waters has decided to wade into Muddy Waters, then I will give you a weapon, which is both a trouble and a talisman, and it will definitely be useful to carry with you. ”

"You say Niannian?"

Lin Xu didn't speak.

He smiled and said, "He thought I didn't know, he looked at that child differently, both close and polite...... There are so many gentlemen suddenly coming to Yanshan Academy, you also come over, King Li also deliberately passed by, thinking about it, it can only be that there is something important in Qi County, but the treasures in the world, what can King Li not ask for openly? There are also those gentlemen, who are good at all kinds of things, all-encompassing, about what kind of people are raised. ”

The old ginseng gossiped all day long, saying that Yu Wenbo must be a big person, and the small inn where he lived was like a cloud of guests every day, and the gentlemen of Yanshan Academy often circled around the inn, and tried to get close, but they didn't pay attention to it.

Lin Xu stared at her: "I think my master will like you very much." "There is no trace of this matter, it was designed by him personally, and King Li is only suspicious, Chen Nian seems to be just a child, he guessed that many people, but he didn't guess that it was a little doll that was even more sluggish than ordinary children of the same age.

"You have taught Nian Nian for two years, taught seriously, and showed your ability to train Luo Niang and them, I want him to stand in the court and tell everyone. He's smart and capable. ”

"Two years? Is he seven years old? ”

"Twelve this year, only two years younger than you."

Hongchen: "......"

"Also, in the future, he won't be called Chen Nian, you can change his name."

Hongchen sighed, and finally nodded: "Tell me, what is his identity." ”

"Prince."

Hongchen: "......"

Since her jade jue space inexplicably recognized the master, nothing else has changed, but those powerful people speak more without scruples, and she can't understand more. There are also a lot of self-revealing identities in it. There were more than a dozen princes.

So now that she heard the word prince, she still reacted for a long time before she reacted.

"Which country?"

"The Great Zhou Dynasty prides itself on being a state of etiquette, and will not ask other countries for the prince as a proton."

But Da Zhou did not have a prince. Now King Li has not yet shown his grandeur. The two princes born to Concubine Yu in the court were the most competitive. and was born of the same mother.

However, the Guigu disciples all said that Nian Nian was the prince, so he could only be the prince.

I didn't hear the book spirit in my arms who was proficient in physiognomy. Just now I also said that although Chen Nian's face is noble, there is something inappropriate, Lin Xu said the prince, and he immediately changed his words - "The extravagance is compelling, and it is unspeakably expensive." ”

…………

Time flies like water, in a blink of an eye, two years have passed in a hurry.

This year of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the year of Dabi.

Once every three years, all the students in the world pay attention, and the princes of the court also have to worry, and the world's romantic figures gather in Beijing, and even students from the other three countries have traveled here to increase their knowledge.

It was the wax moon, and the snow was falling.

In front of the gate of Yong'an, the capital city, there are countless pedestrians and carriages coming and going, most of the scholars from other places have already arrived, and the rest except for those who were originally in the capital, going out to study, walking with the teacher, is a long way, encountering some trouble on the way, and then there are a few people from poor families.

However, there are not many poor people, and they can send their children to study in these years, at least they must cultivate and study heirlooms, and they can have a few acres of fertile land.

The books have been read, no matter how difficult it is, the child must be sent in advance, otherwise because of the delay on the road, he will fall into the name of Sun Shan, and then he will be really wronged.

"Young master, it's finally here."

A little boy sighed in the palm of his hand, a cloud of white mist poured out, warmed his hand slightly, and there was a young man standing next to the young man, about twenty-four or five years old, at this age he could be lifted, he was definitely a young talent, dressed in a serious cyan Confucian costume, with a brown coat on the outside, slightly old shoes, and a bookish fragrance.

He was originally a Jiangnan scholar and studied in a small academy, but he was the only one who was promoted in their academy examination this year, and he had no good friends and confidants to accompany him, so he had to come alone with a scholar.

When I arrived in the capital, I looked around, bustling and lively, but I was a little timid and worried for a while.

This imperial examination, if he can't get in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take the exam again, it was okay before, his father and brother are there, and he has someone to support him in his studies, but Jiangnan plague last year, his father and brother died in the family, although the clan took care of him, but there is a younger brother under seven years old to take care of, and the family is not rich in fields, and there are several shops that must be taken care of, and there are many trivial things at home, where can I study in peace?

Fortunately, he is talented, never forgets, and never struggles to study, so he can be lifted at a young age, and if it will be delayed for a few more years, it is still unknown whether he has the ability to go to Beijing to catch the exam.

"Brother Qiao, why did you get out of the car so early, it's very cold outside."

Qiao Lingjun was looking around, and when he saw the Xia Shijie he met on the road, Brother Xia rode a horse and approached, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This Xia brother is very enthusiastic, he is not bad, he pities the poor and the weak, and he has done some good deeds to give to the poor along the way, but it is about the discord of aura, Qiao Lingjun stayed with him, and always felt that this person was used to dividing people into three, six, nine and so on, and his words and deeds were completely different in front of different people.

"Let's go, take you to our other courtyard, this year's big competition, in addition to me, there are two other side departments in my family who also participate, just live in the other courtyard, you also have to find a house, live together, close to the examination room, and have a lot of books."

Qiao Lingjun hesitated, Xia Shijie had already jumped off and walked with him in stride.

After a hesitation, it was enough, although he didn't want to trouble people too much, but the word book collection still touched his heart.

Nowadays, in the imperial examination, there are only dozens of people in one subject, and there are only a few, but the world's scholars are gathered, and the competition is so fierce, if you don't pay attention, it will be difficult to get talented.

As he was talking, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

"Let's go!"

Qiao Lingjun retreated when he heard the sound, and a carriage galloped behind him.

Xia Shijie glanced at it: "It's from Yufu." In our Yong'an, there are only a few that dare to rampage on the street. ”

He said this plainly, but Qiao Lingjun still heard a trace of awkwardness and envy from his words. Xia Shijie probably also hopes that he can gallop at will in this capital, instead of being as cautious as he is now.

The two men got into the carriage.

Xia Shijie leaned comfortably on the cushion, took out a bottle of wine to drink, and said casually: "Although there are many scholars who have entered Beijing this year, with the level of you and me, most of them don't have to be taken to heart." ”

Qiao Lingjun smiled, along the way, he already knew that Xia Shijie was very arrogant. I didn't feel strange when I heard this: "I am a great Zhou. I don't know how many talented people live in seclusion, and every time there is a big competition, there are Jiecai who are famous all over the world, and I am a character on the stage, but I am very worried. I'm afraid I won't be able to hit it. ”

Xia Shijie rolled his eyes: "You are just too modest!" ”

That's what he said. Someone outside shouted, "Come on." Take a look at the article written by Xue Xiaohou himself, and I heard that Xiao Hou Ye has been reading poetry and books for three years. The progress is so fast, the Holy Father praises it, saying that it will not take five years to become the prime minister. ”

"Look again, look again, the wonderful pen Jin Qing's new work 'Current Affairs', Your Majesty ordered the students of Guozijian to read it."

Xia Shijie: "......"

How long has he not been in the capital? Why are there more cows, ghosts, snakes and gods all of a sudden, is it possible that Banzai has been very idle recently, and there is still time to tout a few students?

Qiao Lingjun was also very curious, after all, he came from afar, and he was very concerned about the talents who were famous in the capital.

It's not hard to ask about that.

The little guy went out for a turn, and he heard an ear of strange things, this Xue Baiqiao is also forgotten, the prodigal son of the little marquis does not change the gold is not the first day to happen, besides, the family is noble, the status is high, and the emperor has liked him since he was a child, and the emperor praised him a few words, then it is the same as being a father touting his son, and others don't have to be too serious.

The origin of Jin Qing is very mysterious, I only know that he has only been in the capital for no more than three months, there is only one uncle in the family, an old servant, and some female dependents, I heard that many of those female dependents are also going to come to the capital to take the female examination, so that people can't figure out the relationship between Jin Qing and these female dependents, and it is not easy to inquire at will.

As for the current affairs he wrote, how did he let His Majesty know, it is more legendary, one day Jin Qing wrote an essay in the downtown of a restaurant.

I heard that it was requested by his husband, and he must be calm in the downtown area, and after writing an article, a gust of wind blew the article away, and it happened to fall into the hands of a eunuch who went out of the palace on an errand, and the eunuch was anxious to find His Majesty who was in Weifu for a private visit, and he didn't pay attention for a while, so he grabbed this fragment in his hand and found the emperor who was in the toilet.

People have three urgencies, and the emperor is the same, this one doesn't have a toilet chip on him, he doesn't have to take off his pants when he goes to the toilet on weekdays, not to mention these.

The eunuch was in a hurry, so he handed the paper in his hand to the emperor for use.

As a result, the emperor saw the fragments and was fascinated, and in the end, he still used the eunuch's clothes torn off when he was done, and as soon as he came out, he ordered the eunuch to look for the second half of the article.

It just so happened that Jin Qing was also looking for the ones he had lost, so the news of the emperor's private visit to Qiwen spread.

This is a rumor on the streets, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

Anyway, Xia Shijie's face was blue and white, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

The emperor's private visit or something, there is still a bit of credibility, that His Majesty has indeed been out of the palace a lot recently.

But the latter is too much of a coincidence, which eunuch dares to be so bold? How can His Majesty be so unparticular about the things he uses? The so-called articles written by a teenager can be appreciated by the emperor? There are countless strange and good texts sent by talented people in the world, does the emperor have time to read?

Xia Shijie's brain twitched and twitched.

Qiao Lingjun was calm and composed, and he didn't pay much attention to the rumors in the market, and softly comforted him.

"Also, don't be angry, I want to see who is in the top three of Jinke, who is the flower."

Soon arrived at the other courtyard, first helped Qiao Lingjun settle down, Xia Shijie was still indignant, and was persuaded a few more words, then frowned and sneered, "Forget it, it will be my little sister's birthday in a few days, and I am in a foreign country, my gift is still a little simple, I have to find some more." ”

Xia Chan, the daughter of the Xia family, celebrated her birthday, and the Xia family didn't plan to make a big deal, but Xia Chan has had an excellent reputation in the capital in recent years, and she has made many friends, and there are many people who come to congratulate her on her birthday.

Anren Fang

The old house of the Xia family.

The maids in the yard were chattering, lively, Chen Wan was a little headache from the noise, Mama immediately stood up to drink, she waved her hand tiredly: "Forget it, it's her birthday, it's normal ......to be lively."

In fact, today is the birthday of my own daughter. (To be continued......)
