The snow in the depths of winter glows with a strange blue glow under the moon. Situ Yi, who was standing on the top of the mountain with his hands and looking at it from afar, was weaving countless thoughts in his tightly tufted eyebrows, and the warmth and softness in his eyes were swept away, and his whole body seemed to be soaked in the cold of winter and the cold of the night, cold and lonely.

Looking at his silhouette under the moon from afar, Qin Nanxi's heart was full of pity like the moonlight. She could see that since he saw the letter handed over by Liu Qi, his originally happy mood had plummeted. It's just that because of her, he tried not to show the depression and worry in his heart.

"Brother Yi has been looking at the star alone for so long, what vision can he see?" Standing gently behind him, Qin Nanxi deliberately interrupted his contemplation.

Situ Yi turned around in response, and a warm smile suddenly bloomed on the corner of his cold lips like an ice sculpture. He stretched out his hand to meet her and said lightly, "Where are you looking at what astrological signs?" I've always disliked astronomy and the Five Elements the most, and I never believed in the so-called visions and wefts. ”

Qin Nanxi pursed his lips and smiled secretly, he said that he didn't believe it, but he was very skillful in using the likes of Wei Fu Rui. The saying of Xiangyunzhi, the son of heaven in northern Xinjiang, is simply from his mouth. Rumors spread, Prince Changping was forced to speed up his actions, the struggle between the royal brothers intensified, and Wuda took the opportunity to raise troops. But since he successfully ambushed Tongguan as he wished, why was he sad?

Slowly leaning forward, Qin Nanxi raised his hand to gently brush the snow dust on Situ Yi's shoulder, and deliberately raised his chin and asked with a sweet smile: "Brother Nayi is standing alone on the top of this mountain, under the sky, what are you pondering?" So distracted that the snow fell on both shoulders and were unconscious? ”

Situ Yi stared at her, smiling at the corners of his mouth, and let her take care of the falling snow on his shoulders for herself. The moment she stopped, he suddenly put his hands together and wrapped her tightly in his arms.

It is as if you have suddenly fallen into the snow-covered pine and cypress all year round, and the cold and refreshing fragrance lingers all around. After being slightly dizzy for a moment, Qin Nanxi realized that his lips were slowly wrapping around his ears. However, in the sock sweetness of the extreme tenderness, there was a trace of bone-chilling coldness that she had never touched.

Qin Nanxi hurriedly shrunk his itchy neck and curled up in his arms like a frightened and shy kitten, struggling slightly and helplessly.

Situ Yi couldn't bear her panic, stopped kissing softly, raised his chin against her eyebrows, and said gently: "It's windy here, let's go down after a while." ”

Quietly exhaling, Qin Nanxi nodded slightly, settled down to his heart, stroked the silver silk soft armor soaked in the night cold under his hands, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yi, what happened?" ”

Situ Yi understood that with Qin Nanxi's cleverness, hiding from her would not only be futile but would make her worry, so he let out a long sigh, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "It's news from the palace, that the prince in the palace died violently." ”

Qin Nanxi raised his head in shock: "The abolished prince, the eldest son of the first emperor, Zhou Xie, died violently?" ”

Situ Yi sighed again and nodded.

"Although the abolished prince is confined in the palace, he is in his prime, how could he suddenly die violently?" Qin Nanxi asked in surprise, his voice did not fall, but he also understood the trick himself: "Did someone assassinate the abolished prince?" ”

Situ Yi nodded helplessly, let go of his hand, stroked the broken hair on her forehead that was blown away by the wind, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is very strange, Zhou Huan has not been on the throne for a long time, and the foundation is not stable, he should not be stupid enough to kill his brother when the Wuda soldiers are pressing the border." Prince Changping has been away from Chang'an for a long time, and the internal guards have already been replaced by Situ Kuntao, even if he has the heart to remove the hidden danger of the former prince, he is afraid that he will not be able to reach the whip. I can't think of anyone other than the two of them who would have to get rid of the prince as soon as possible. ”

Qin Nanxi tilted his face slightly, staring at the bottom of his eyes full of melancholy, and he didn't know how to be relieved. She understood that he ventured into ambush in the mountains to take advantage of the chaos to set things right. But the prince suddenly collapsed, and all his efforts became the target of nothingness in an instant.

Silently lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously caressing his chest, the nails dyed with bright red Kodan, the silver threads of the soft nails, made a hissing sound, accompanied by the uniform undulation of the fingertips, as if the melancholy echoing in her heart, subtle and cold.

Returning to his heart, Qin Nanxi brought his flying thoughts back to his senses, and said slowly: "Brother Yi, do you remember that in the Tallinn outside Ruoshui Nunnery, I talked to you about my father?" ”

Situ Yi thought that she just had the intention to divert the topic and pull him away from his sorrows, so he took advantage of the situation to bring her back into his arms, and answered considerately: "Naturally remember, you said that Mr. always made him angry when I was a child. It's a pity that you didn't finish your words at that time. What the hell did he say, sir? ”

Qin Nanxi pursed his lips and smiled, and the face that was close to his heart moved away slightly involuntarily. Although she could hear his steady heartbeat, but through the silver armor on his body, she felt that it was real cold and hard.

"Daddy said that he was heartbroken by Mu Yun'er's refusal to give up the sharp weapon in his hand, but after all these years, he realized that in fact, the young Mu Yun'er was more transparent than him."

Situ Yi was slightly surprised: "Sir, did he really say that?" ”

Qin Nanxi nodded and said seriously: "Brother Yi, Daddy, he has admired etiquette all his life, and he can't see the bloody war, and he only hopes to rely on the sage's education in exchange for Xianping from all over the world." But because you have experienced fierce wars since childhood, you know well the insignificance of those sages and sages in the face of the struggle for survival. Throwing pen to paper from Rong and ending the war with war is to protect the homeland, and it is also the most direct and effective way to exchange for peace. The choice of your master and apprentice may seem to be the opposite of each other, but in fact it is the same goal. Daddy, he realized for a lifetime, and only then did he understand that no matter whether it is etiquette or martial rule, all he wants is peace in the world. Therefore, as long as the four seas are stable, it is enough for the people to be happy, so who is sitting on the peak, and what is the difference? Daddy, he regretted that he had been mistaken all his life. Or are you now going to be mistaken on the basis of the small amount of whose place you are? ”

Situ Yi's frowning eyebrows gradually stretched, and the bottom of his eyes was like the moonlight after the dark clouds, slowly revealing light. He stared at Qin Nanxi in his arms for a long time, and the corners of his lips suddenly rose deeply: "Nanxi's heart, I actually have such a mind?" ”

"Isn't it?" Qin Nanxi met his doting gaze and smiled very confidently.

Situ Yi smiled dumbly, pondered for a moment, and said frankly: "Although I also have the heart to pray for peace in the world, but in this matter, I have many private thoughts, and I am not like Mr. who puts the world first. ”

"Private thoughts?"

Facing the doubts in Qin Nanxi's eyes, Situ Yi carefully sorted out his thoughts, and he became confused for a while. He himself can't tell the difference, for many years, he has supported the crown prince Zhou Xie, and he did not hesitate to be the enemy of the Manchu dynasty, is it because the prince is benevolent and advocates the idea of eliminating the power of the gate lord? Or does he have the heart to repay the kindness of the previous emperor's entrustment? Or is it out of his selfish desire to use the army and force entrusted by the emperor to protect Yunze in the northern frontier?

Looking at his changing and confused expression, Qin Nanxi stared and smiled: "The gentleman is not worried, not confused, not afraid. It changes with the times, and it is made according to the situation. The mind remains the same, just homeopathic. ”

Situ Yi's eyebrows stretched, pursed his lips and pondered: "Take advantage of the trend? ”

Qin Nanxi tilted his face slightly, looked at him with a smug smile, and nodded silently.

"Although Situ Yi's own strength is not enough to turn things around, he can do his best as Nanxi said, according to the state of affairs." The corners of Situ Yi's eyes were flying, his starry eyes were shining, and he had already guessed the origin of Qin Nanxi's exhortation: "Nanxi's words, are they because of Mr.'s instructions?" Or is it because Nanxi wants me to follow the trend? ”

Qin Nanxi was slightly stunned, then calmly stared at the light in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Daddy's instructions are naturally there." But Nanxi's wish is also among them. Nan Xi has seen too many life and death disasters under the disaster since he was a child, and he doesn't want to see the war stretch anymore and the innocent will be destroyed. At present, Tongguan is in danger, and I am afraid that only Brother Yi can deter Beidi Tieqi. Since Brother Yi is already here, and you have the strength, why don't you take advantage of the trend? Maybe this is providence? ”

Situ Yifu took her in his arms again and said with a smile: "It's just that if I follow the trend like this, I will definitely embark on a road full of disputes. 'I am afraid that it will be empty again! ”

Qin Nanxi crouched in the crook of his neck, his fingertips playfully played with the fur on his neckline, and said with a smile: "Brother Yi wants to make fun of Nanxi's different hearts, so just make fun of it." I can do what I want with the fish, and I can also do what I want with the bear's paw, but I can't have both. However, as far as Nanxi is concerned, as long as he can hold hands with you, whether it is mountains and flowing water, or whether it is a Jin Ge iron horse, there is no difference. ”

After hearing this, the corners of Situ Yi's lips raised deeply, and he lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows and chuckled: "Then let Nanxi's wish to return to seclusion hang for a while." ”
