Zixuan walked aimlessly in the barracks, when suddenly a loud scolding at the camp gate woke her up from her sadness.

"Why are you still here? I said that the second son is not a guest today, and he will come back tomorrow! "The soldiers guarding the gate were unceremonious.

The man said: "Fang Xuanling has something important to meet the second son, please let the little brother report again." ”

The soldier said angrily: "Who dares to report it? The brother-in-law of the second son of the family is here and is talking, we dare to inform you? Come on! Come on! ”

The man was pushed and shoved out of the camp by the soldiers, and said unwillingly: "Alas, is it possible that the second son only allows people to be relatives?" ”

Fang Xuanling! A name for the future generation! That soldier dared to be so rude, wouldn't it be a big deal for Li Shimin? Zixuan rushed up and shouted at the soldier, "Do you know what you're doing? ”

The soldier naturally didn't know, but he knew that this Yang Zixuan was the second son's scholar, and the second son valued him very much. Seeing that Zixuan was so angry, he didn't dare to squeak, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Zixuan went out of the camp gate and bowed to Fang Xuanling, "Sir, don't be angry, the soldiers are not sensible, please follow me in." ”

Fang Xuanling asked: "Who is this little brother ......?"

Zixuan said: "I am Yang Zixuan, the second son's scholar, please come in, sir." ”

Zixuan led Fang Xuanling to Li Jin's tent, asked him to bring everyone else down, and asked him to prepare some wine and food, and accompany Fang Xuanling to dine.

Zixuan poured a glass of wine and gave it to Fang Xuanling, "Sir, please." ”

Fang Xuanling raised his cup and saluted, "Little brother, please." ”

"I don't drink." Zi Xuan said, "It's not a secret, Zi Xuan is not a man, but a woman dressed as a man, except for some senior generals in the barracks, ordinary soldiers don't know about it." ”

Fang Xuanling put down his wine glass, "Oh? So you are the daughter of the second son? ”

Zixuan shook his head, "Definitely." I'm barely his sister-in-law. ”

Fang Xuanling asked: "Why does that girl trust Fang so much and tell her what only senior generals know?" ”

"That's because sir, you're going to be a high-ranking general soon." Zixuan smiled sincerely, "The second son is thirsty for talent, sir, you will definitely be reused." ”

"Thank you, girl. It's just that Fang is only a shallow learner, and I don't know if he can get into the eyes of the second son. ”

Fang Xuanling doesn't seem to have much confidence, too, such a talent has been coldly treated by the Sui Dynasty for so many years.

Zixuan gave Fang Xuanling a dish, "That's Mr. too modest, Mr. waited outside the barracks and refused to leave, he must have a good plan to give to the second son." ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Thanks to the girl's love, it's just that the second son may not have time to listen." ”

Zixuan said: "Mr. is too worried. The person who will meet the second son today is the elder brother of the second young grandmother, Sun Wuji, they have known each other since childhood, and they have not seen each other for many years, so they have a lot to say when they meet, so they snubbed Mr., and please forgive me. ”

"This is natural. can't talk about being cold, if it weren't for the girl, Fang wouldn't even be able to enter this barracks. Fang Xuanling saw that Zi Xuanli was thoughtful and talked extraordinary, and he had a good impression of this little girl.

Zixuan saw that the generation was so kind, and he had a little more respect for this middle-aged man like a teacher. The two talked happily, and before they knew it, an hour had passed.

Li Jin walked into the tent and told him that the conversation between Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji had ended, and that the eldest grandson Wuji had been arranged.

Zixuan hurriedly stood up and said to Fang Xuanling: "Sir, please wait a moment, Zixuan will go back to the second son, maybe the second son will meet Mr." ”

Fang Xuanling also got up and saluted, "There is Miss Lao." ”

Zixuan entered Li Shimin's big tent and told him about Fang Xuanling, hoping that he could see it.

Shimin was lazily leaning on the couch, "Who is so important, must be seen before going to bed?" Could it be a beauty more iconic than your sister? ”

Zixuan rolled his eyes, "Yes, it's a big beauty." If the second son is gone, he will be cheaper than others. ”

Shimin smiled and said, "Then please come and meet!" ”

As soon as the man entered, the eyes of the people of the world lit up. I saw that although the person who came was middle-aged, he was dignified, his figure was straight, his face was calm and wise, his clear eyebrows were self-contained, shining with a brighter brilliance than a thousand-year-old amber, and his body exuded a bookish atmosphere.

Zixuan sent Fang Xuanling into the big tent and retreated himself. Let's let Shimin have a good talk with him, the future "great steward".

While they were talking inside, Zixuan was wandering outside the tent, and one hour passed, and two hours passed......

It seems that Li Shimin admires Fang Xuanling very much, and the two are going to talk at night. It's just that poor Zixuan wants to use the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed tonight.

was worried, only to see Li Jin come over with a cloak, "Miss Zixuan, put this on, it's the end of summer and the autumn solstice, and it's a little cold in the morning and evening." ”

"Thank you, Li Jin." Zixuan took it and draped it over himself.

"The second son is still talking to that Mr. Fang?"

"yes."

"Where do you sleep, girl?"

Zixuan stretched out his hands, "Outside." ”

"Huh? Then I'll talk to you. Li Jin said humbly.

Zixuan replied briskly: "Okay, there's a small mound over there, let's go there and sit and talk." ”

The two sat on the ground, the stars in the dome were vast, the fragrance of grass blades was wafting, and the moon secretly showed half of its face, like a shy girl.

"Li Jin, have you followed the second son since you were a child?" Zixuan asked.

"yes."

"Was the second son naughty when he was a child?" Zixuan unconsciously wanted to know more about Li Shimin, even when he was a child.

Li came in with interest, "Tao, Tao, Tao." The old lady didn't let him go out to play, so he often stepped on the small back and climbed over the wall to go out. ”

Zixuan laughed, he couldn't imagine that the first emperor of the ages had such a glorious history when he was a child, "Then what about later, didn't the old lady find out and not beat him?" ”

Li Jin pouted: "Those who are hit by the board are small, and the second son is just a punishment station." ”

"Huh? It's so unfair, he's the mastermind, and you're an accomplice at best. Zixuan said.

Li Jin looked sad, "Actually, the old lady is good enough for the little one, the old man picked me up from a group of hungry people who died of hunger, and later let the little one serve the second son, in fact, the little one is only two years older than the second son, what can he serve?" It's just to accompany the second son. What a great grace this is, and what a small one is to be hit by a few boards. ”

Zixuan hurriedly smiled, "I'm sorry to mention your sadness." Do you know who your biological parents are? ”

Li Jin shook his chubby head, "I don't know, when the master picked me up, I was just over a year old." It's just that I don't know my parents, many people in the mansion were sold to the Li Mansion by their parents, and they can't see their parents. However, there are many people who were sold with their brothers and sisters, and there is also a care between them, only the younger one is alone. ”

Seeing his plain, honest and taciturn character, but he didn't know that he had such a miserable life experience, Zixuan looked at him gently, sympathized infinitely, thought about it and said: "Li Jin, this is also easy, isn't there no brothers and sisters?" How do you think I should be your sister? We married brothers and sisters with different surnames, you have an extra sister, and I have an extra brother, isn't it good. ”

Li Jincheng was terrified, "How can this work?" I'm just a subordinate, you are also a guest of the Li Mansion, and your sister is going to marry the second son. I...... I can't climb ......."

"Oh, what's not going to work, what is the upper and lower, where are so many ......"

But no matter how good Zixuan is, Li Jin just doesn't agree.

"Otherwise," Zixuan said, "the two of us secretly bowed and didn't let anyone know, including the second son." That's it. ”

"That'...... All right. Li Jin finally agreed.

"Come on." Zixuan pulled Li Jin to kneel on the ground together, "Let's swear to the moon." ”

Zixuan has never seen how others worship, and only said according to his own heart: "The moon is above, today I Yang Zixuan and Li Jin are brothers and sisters with different surnames, and from then on we will not dislike each other and take care of each other, please let the moon be a witness, if you violate this oath, you will become a puppy in the next life." ”

Li Jin read it stupidly, so the two kowtowed to Yue San.

After that, the two sat on the ground and looked at each other and smiled, Zixuan said, "Great, I finally have a brother!" Do you know? Since I was a child, I have been envious that others have an older brother, and I can find my brother if I am bullied, but I only have one sister. ”

Li Jin stood up and said, "Since you are my sister, there is something you must say for your brother." ”

Zixuan raised his head and looked up at him, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's what you lied to me about the first battle in Huoyi. You promised me that you wouldn't go down the mountain to the battlefield, how could you lie to me? A young girl learns to deceive, and that's not okay. Do you know that because of this, the eldest son and the second son talked about me? In the future, I will be your brother, and I will discipline you strictly. Brother Li Jin said.

The corners of Zixuan's mouth twitched, he lowered his head with one hand on his temple, and bowed his head without anything, "Yes, I was wrong, can't I do it......"

When the people came out of the tent, it was already light, and the sun was gradually rising from the east, turning from white to gold, then to red, and then to crimson. The sky silently burst into the morning glow, and the colors flowed away and splashed gold. There seemed to be a golden light floating in the air, like layers of fine gold dust sprinkled by the sun.

The night of chatting with Fang Xuanling made the hearts of the people suddenly brighten, thanks to Yang Zixuan, if it weren't for her, wouldn't she have to pass by with this brilliant talent? By the way, what about Yang Zixuan? Where does this girl go to rest all night?

Shimin's eyes hurriedly swept over the entire military camp, looking for Yang Zixuan's figure. It turned out that there, on the mound, there were two people sitting back to back, asleep.

Shimin walked up to the mound, Li Jin had already woken up, "Second son......"

Shimin put his finger to his lips and made a silent motion.

Zixuan was still asleep leaning on Li Jin, her hair was a little messy by the night wind, and her thin body seemed to be able to blow her away if the wind was a little stronger. Shimin looked a little distressed, after all, she was recruiting talents for him, fortunately it was summer, otherwise if she sat outside all night, she would not have fallen ill as a girl?
