How the queen's birthday banquet ended, Ah Zi can't really remember.

She only felt like she was in a dream, and in a flash, she had returned to Yan's Mansion.

At this moment, just after midnight, in the atrium of the main courtyard of the Yan Mansion, two men stood side by side.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, and the soft starlight sprinkled down, dyeing everyone, the ground, and the treetops a faint layer of silver.

The spring cold is steep, and the night wind blows, pouring in from the collar and cuffs, which still makes people shiver.

Ah Zi tightened his shirt a little and looked at the backs of the two from a distance.

She stood in the hand-copying verandah about ten steps away from the two of them, and she could clearly see the outlines of Tang Yinbrown and Zuo Qiyang's backs.

Although Zuo Qiyang is a military general, before he looks at him without understanding his cunning and cynical nature, most of them will mistakenly think that he is a humble gentleman who abides by courtesy, so at this time he is beside Tang Yinbrown, although he stands there with his hands behind his back and his waist straight, looking neither humble nor arrogant, but he will inevitably look thinner under the backdrop of Tang Yinbrown.

Tang Yin's brown body has the blood of orcs flowing in his body, his figure is already much taller than ordinary people, plus he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has practiced kung fu diligently, and the muscle lines of his back and waist are still faintly visible even under the cover of the wide robe - contrary to the sense of oppression and the illusion that he is difficult to approach, Tang Yinbrown is a gentle and elegant character in his bones, although his martial arts identity and years of experience in leading soldiers have made him have to learn many seemingly cruel methods and strategies, But his calm and restrained temperament makes him forgiving and forgiving most of his troubles.

Because it's far away, it's a headwind. What Tang Yinbrown and Zuo Qiyang said, Ah Zi didn't know at all, so he could only look at it with some anxious eyes and wait.

"You're here after all." Zuo Qiyang broke the silence first, and there was a helpless smile between his words.

"You know I can't help but come." Tang Yinbrown replied calmly.

"Really? Leave aside the people who you took so much effort to snatch from me, and come here to find your little lover? Zuo Qiyang's eyes were full of sarcasm.

Tang Yinbrown didn't care, since he came, he also successfully won the favor of Emperor Xiyou and the Empress Dowager, that is half the success, at this time Zuo Qiyang's words were sarcastic. It's just a battle of trapped beasts. It didn't pose a threat at all, but it only accentuated the anger he revealed because of the failure, so he smiled and didn't answer.

Zuo Qiyang sighed. "I really don't understand. Why do I go to the trouble of bringing people back every time. You're going to rob it? Is it that the food that has been taken from someone else's mouth is extraordinarily delicious? ”

Tang Yin's brown face was still unfazed, and he was silent for a long time before replying: "Ah Zi is different." From the moment you take her away, it should be clear that you are taking her to the end of the earth, and I will chase after her. ”

Zuo Qiyang pursed his lips as if he had accidentally eaten a lemon, squinted his eyes at Tang Yinbrown for a long time, and saw that the other party was calm and calm, so he restrained his emotions, and turned to say with a straight face: "I still have the same point of view when I left Dongyuan, the Dongyuan royal family is not suitable for you, and it is better for you and Ah Zi to get out of that place of right and wrong earlier." ”

Tang Yinbrown lowered his eyelids when he heard this.

He knew that Zuo Qiyang was saying from the bottom of his heart, putting aside the grievances between the two of them, after all, it was Zuo Qiyang who led him into the gate of the Dongyuan Imperial Court, the two had been together day and night for many years, Zuo Qiyang's appreciation of him, Tang Yinbrown was clear - when he decided to leave Dongyuan, the first person Zuo Qiyang found was Tang Yinbrown.

"If you go with me, and the two of us join forces, it is not impossible to break out of the world again and form a three-legged situation with the two countries of the East and the West." At that time, Zuo Qiyang boasted to Tang Yinbrown like this, although Tang Yinbrown didn't believe him and refused his invitation, he was faintly grateful to Zuo Qiyang for his importance in his heart.

It's just that I didn't expect that now that so many years have passed, Zuo Qiyang has become the confidant of Emperor Xiyou and the Empress Dowager, and the two have calmed down and talked again, but he still insists on his own ideas.

"My father-in-law and King Xin are kind to me, and I can't be like you, and I can't put aside everything and be a traitor and still get into trouble." Tang Yinhong said bluntly.

Zuo Qiyang pouted a little impatiently: "I knew you would say that." How long will you be willing to give up on these pedantic teachings? I don't believe you can't see how weak Tang Jiashan and Zhu Ciyi's kindness is to you.

"After transferring so many people to you, you dare to hand over the so-called tasks related to the fate of Dongyuan to you, is that what makes you make contributions? That's looking forward to you dying on the road, a hundred, right?

"You broke the siege of pirates, as long as you continue to go north along the sea route, you can return to China smoothly, but Zhu Ciyi let you take the risk and move to the west for your own selfish interests, his intentions are so obvious, do you still pretend to be deaf and dumb and refuse to admit it?

"You treat them as reborn parents, and they treat you as a dog!"

Zuo Qiyang's words were like countless sharp blades cutting Tang Yin's brown heart little by little, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and looked at Zuo Qiyang angrily, but he couldn't speak.

He was irrefutable.

Although Zuo Qiyang's words sounded harsh, he had to admit that these were the sore spots that he had been hiding in his heart and unwilling to look at directly, although he was unwilling, he never really wanted to complain about anything, and he knew that he had no capital to complain about anything - it was King Xin who cultivated him to be like this, everything he had was given by the other party, and if he really went clean in two cuts, he was afraid that it would be light to abandon his martial arts first.

Looking at the struggle and resentment flashing in Tang Yin's brown eyes, Zuo Qiyang sighed secretly, knowing that even if he knew it, he still couldn't let go of those so-called kindnesses.

"Ah Zi, what are you going to do?" Zuo Qiyang asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to take her back to Dongyuan with you?" She's a witch, and you know better than I know what the Higashihara royal family means to her. ”

Tang Yin's brown eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "I won't be stupid enough to let her go back to Dongyuan with me, over the Longji Mountain Range, it will be a golden forest......"

Hearing this, Zuo Qiyang's brows twitched almost invisibly, and said, "You want to take her to the Golden Forest?" How sure are you that you can pass the level of the Dragonspine Mountain Beast Clan? Even if you arrive in the Golden Forest, how do you know that the uncertain Lady Liu would be willing to take her in, a child who has been living outside since childhood, and whose identity is unknown? Take 10,000 steps back, Mrs. Liu is willing to take Ah Zi in, have you asked Ah Zi about her wishes? Are you sure she accepts your arrangement? ”

Tang Yinbrown wasn't sure, he only knew that he had lost Ah Zi outside Dragon Claw City, and he wanted to find her back, but now that he came to Xijing, he realized that Ah Zi had lived far better in Xiyou than he thought, so which path she wanted to choose was no longer as sure as before.

Will you follow him all the way north, or stay in Xijing with Zuo Qiyang? It can only be decided by Ah Zi herself. (To be continued.) )
