Chapter 1: The Covenant of the End of the World

In the middle of the day, a horse-drawn carriage jolted slightly along the winding path.

The jade-white curtain lifted, revealing a delicate face.

The sparkling eyes were deeply attracted by the small flowers that kept falling backwards on the side of the road, and the girl asked with an intoxicated smile:

"Such a beautiful flower, I've never seen it in Dayi, I don't know what it's called?"

The coachman whipped his horse, and heard Gu Yunxi's voice of surprise at the wheel, "hehe" smiled and turned back:

"Those are 'Guanguan'er', which is not an unusual flower and tree in Udan. Later, there was a garden where the nobles lived, and it was full of roses and roses, and then it was really beautiful. Rose, but our Udan's national flower. ”

Leng Qingtang's head poked out, and asked the coachman with a smile:

"Old man, how much more is there?"

The coachman stroked his beard and looked at the green in front of him:

"It's coming, it's half an hour, and I'll be there."

"Thank you."

Retreating into the court, Leng Qingtang encircled Gu Yunxi in his arms and explained to her the customs of Xiyi.

Not long after, and worried that she would be bumped by the carriage, he held her in his lap, and cared for her as if she were a fragile treasure.

Time is like flowing water.

A month ago, they were still in Dayi, and they agreed with Hua Nanxin in the Gui Parallel Palace to do three things.

After that, in order to get half of the jade in Leng Qingtang's hands, Hua Nan Xin had to fulfill his promise, issued a decree to crown the seventh brother Hua Nan Lin as the virtuous king, and sent 10,000 forbidden soldiers to escort Gu Yunyao and Hua Nan Lin out of the palace and to the fiefdom Jiangnan.

Then, the East Factory and the celebrant changed blood from top to bottom, inside and out.

Fortunately, most of Leng Qingtang's right-hand men, except for Liu Bingbi, have not been poisoned by the imperial court, and the leaders have either gone to other places or returned to their ancestral hometowns, and they no longer have to lick the blood with knives, and they have lived an incognito but stable life since then.

To say that there are no small regrets so far, Gu Yunxi is still haunted by it, because Sister Yun Yao can't publicly come forward to see each other off on the day she leaves Beijing.

However, she thought that the eldest sister should have been extremely excited at that time.

She has been locked in the deep palace for so many years, and now she has finally regained her freedom, and Zhao An, He Songqin and Lin'er can live a life that truly belongs to them.

When everything is successfully concluded, the time is already in September.

On a sunny morning, Lu Qiange's men escorted Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi to secretly leave the capital of Dayi, and turned all the way to the west and went straight to Xiyi.

The pair of them will settle down in the country of Udan in the future.

After more than 20 days, the smoke screen of Dayi's city gradually faded, and the terroir and scenery were very different from those of the Central Plains.

The mangyuan meadows, sand dunes and Gobi everywhere, such as Tieguan Mountain, and herds of cattle and sheep, can successfully attract Gu Yunxi's attention, making her eyes wide and happy for a long time.

She grew up in Dayi, and was obviously full of great curiosity about this unfamiliar environment.

Faded from all kinds of sharp edges and wisdom in the past, at this moment she has become a pure and delicate little girl, leaning on the warm and broad chest of the beloved man, and deserving of his meticulous consideration and care, a pair of snow cheeks dyed with two pink flowers have not disappeared for a long time, and the gentle and brimming little person makes people just look at it, and there are ripples in the heart.

Leng Qingtang is better, he always sits quietly in the car, without Gu Yunxi's surprise and noise, after all, he grew up in Xiyi for seven years of his childhood, and he is very familiar with the grass and trees here.

After passing another hill, you will see a river with gentle currents. At this time, the mountains, half-hidden in the light smoke and mist, have already revealed their entire straight and continuous outline.

Leng Qingtang's phoenix eyes shone brightly, and his handsome face carried an indescribable expression.

The coachman continued to drive along the river further west until he reached a small two-storey loft at the foot of the green hills, and then tightened the reins.

"When you get to the place, please get off the car, two nobles."

Leng Qingtang jumped out of the car and got out of the car with Gu Yunxi in his hand.

The architectural style of the attic in Udan is very different from that of Middle-earth.

The interval between floors is higher, the roof is spherical, and the doors and windows are mostly half-arched.

The exterior wall of this attic built in the middle of green mountains and green waters is white, and the square courtyard is covered with vines and beautiful wild roses.

Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi held hands, followed the coachman to step on the artificially paved stone road, walked to the front of the courtyard, and pushed the door to enter.

The fiery red roses that caught the eye amazed Gu Yunxi's eyes.

Lu Qiange walked out of the attic, and when he saw the three of them, his anxious complexion eased.

"Uncle, you're here."

The coachman stepped forward, and his right hand fell on his heart to salute Lu Qiange:

"I've seen the Third Highness, there was some delay on the road, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

"It's okay, you unloaded the things on the carriage, but you can go back first."

Gu Yunxi thought about the entire courtyard.

As the coachman said, the courtyard in this small space is indeed colorful and extraordinarily lively.

The surrounding green vegetation, white roses, flaming roses, and yellow and pink flowers are decorated with bright colors but not chaotic.

People pass by in front of the flowers, walk up two steps at will, and you can smell a faint fragrance when you lift your nose.

In short, Gu Yunxi was extremely satisfied with where he was here.

Hearing movement in the courtyard, South China Ji Yan ran out of the attic, and the two behind him were Yu Xuanji, and ...... And Gu Di?

Gu Yunxi was immediately stunned, blinked vigorously and looked at it again, it was indeed him, Leng Qingtang's twin brother.

Before leaving Dayi, after being persuaded by An and the eldest princess, Gu Di finally let go of the long-accumulated hatred in his heart and accepted his twin brother Leng Qingtang.

The two brothers released their suspicions.

Subsequently, Princess An and the eldest princess gave Gu Di the name of "Xian", and told his brother that Gu Di was born before Leng Qingtang, so Leng Qingtang should call Gu Di "brother".

South China Ji Yan rushed over and hugged Gu Yunxi affectionately:

"Yunxi, you are here, I will take you to see your new home, all the furnishings are arranged by me personally, I just don't know if you like it?"

"I naturally like what you arranged."

"Your mouth is sweeter than Aji's."

The two girls talked and laughed, and then Gu Yunxi came to greet Yu Xuanji and Gu Di:

"Brother, Brother Xian, when did you arrive?"

"I only arrived in ...... the day before yesterday"

Yu Xuanji's gentle eyes were all on her sister's face, full of pampering, one wall smoothed the messy hair on her forehead, and the other wall asked with concern:

"Are you okay along the way, tired or not? Come inside and have a cup of rose tea, it tastes great. ”

Gu Di stepped forward slowly, his deep pupils stared at Gu Yunxi, his eyes were deep:

"Girl."

Gu Yunxi's expression quietly changed, and thinking of the chaotic emotional entanglements with him in the past, he lowered his long eyelashes and responded lightly:

"Brother Xian is a good ......"

“……”

His eyebrows raised, and he laughed self-deprecatingly:

"I just want to see you and Hedi again, and when you settle down, I'll leave in a day or two."

The girl hurriedly raised her eyes, waved her little hand with a shocked expression, and explained:

"No, no, you are the eldest brother of the Overseer, and you deserve to stay and live with us. This attic is so big, and the Overseer and I are not used to it......"

Yu Xuanji felt that the atmosphere was embarrassing, his handsome face immediately sank, his eyes were angry and he threw it at Gu Di, pulled Gu Yunxi and rushed into the attic, South China Ji Yan shrugged his shoulders and followed in.

The attic is fully furnished, with delicate and ornate tassel tapestries, bright yellow amphorae pure gold pots, and cabinets embedded in the wall.

The upstairs is arranged as a study, the master's bedroom and clean room, and the downstairs is a large stove room, several guest rooms and a hall.

The section of space on the first floor connecting to the outer courtyard is all capped with wooden piles and cushioned to create a wide viewing corridor.

While Gu Yunxi and the others entered the building, Leng Qingtang and Lu Qiange stood under the corridor, listening to the wind chimes in the gentle autumn breeze, which was unique.

"Uncle, do you remember this place?"

Lu Qiange asked suddenly.

Leng Qingtang looked up at the sky and replied with a faint smile:

"How not to remember? The mountain behind this building is called 'Pingshan', and the river in front of it is called 'Pingshui'. More than 20 years ago, this attic was just a thatched house, where my father, my mother, and I lived together. Every spring, my father would take me to the hills in front of me to fly kites, and at night I would count the stars and look at the moon at the foot of the mountain. ”

Memories came rushing in, and the phoenix's eyes were overwhelmed.

Lu Qiange nodded lightly:

"Ten years ago, the mother sent someone to rebuild this place, and after the attic was built, it became the stronghold of the dead soldiers of the Udan Kingdom. Now the mother concubine ordered me and Ji Yan to clean up in advance, and this will be your and Yunxi's home in the future. ”

Leng Qingtang's heart warmed:

"The eldest sister has already arranged everything for us...... Hua'er, thank you, and thank you on my behalf, eldest sister. ”

Lu Qiange hooked his lips and smiled:

"You are my own uncle, do you still need to say such outrageous things? …… Uncle, I hope Yunxi will always be happy, this is the nephew's sincere words. ”

After a pause, one hand was placed on Leng Qingtang's forearm, and the shallow light in his purple eyes seemed to be an extraordinarily heavy entrustment:

Leng Qingtang looked at Lu Qiange fixedly for a moment, his expression was flat:

"I swear I will, and I'll give her eternal happiness."

A cool breeze blew by his side, and Gu Di stopped in front of the two of them, his footwork light like a rootless suspended spirit:

"Is it really okay to do that? Hua Nanxin is treacherous by nature, and you easily let him go at the right time, are you really not afraid that he will turn around and calculate you again? ”
