Winter is still the same as before, and the trees are the same as the same trees, but the people walking under the trees are no longer alone.

Zhang Qian's bet was right, Zhang Ruoxu's daughter Zhang Qingxuan already knew the agreement between him and her cousin. Therefore, I helped pass the news over as soon as possible. So, threading, leading, meeting, coincidence, a series of follow-up progress came naturally.

"Brother Yongzhao, don't you regret it at all? Perhaps, the emperor is going to marry a princess to you? Yang Qingxin turned his head and asked with a smile. The sun shone through the sparse branches and shone on the ruby step, lighting a dancing flame.

"How is that possible!" Zhang Qian didn't think about it, and immediately shook his head, "I don't even know what the princess looks like, let alone what her temperament is!" If you marry blindly and dumbly, you will really regret it in the future! ”

"What if the princess is a peerless beauty? The temperament is also rare gentle and considerate? Yang Qingxin frowned slightly, and continued to ask with a smile, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated to him.

The daylight overhead was blocked by the treetops, and the north wind behind him suddenly became a little cooler. Only the flame on the ruby and the girl's smile were still as bright as before.

In an instant, Zhang Qian vaguely felt a chill, stopped, and shook his head decisively: "That's none of my business, I already have you, how can there be a place in my heart to fit other people!" ”

This sentence, even in the arrogant Datang, is a bit too straightforward. Suddenly, Yang Qingxun was so ashamed that his face was like a peach blossom, and he quickly twisted his head to the side, not daring to look at Zhang Qian's eyes again, and his steps accelerated in a panic.

Zhang Qian lacked experience in love, and thought that he was not sincere enough, so he hurriedly chased after him, and solemnly added: "I'm not lying to you, I really saw you for the first time, and I had your shadow in my heart." After that, whether others are beautiful or gentle, they are all passing by for me. If you don't believe me, I can swear ......"

As he spoke, he quickly raised his right hand. When the ruby girl Yang Qingjing saw it, she quickly grabbed his finger and pressed it down, "Don't!" I believe, I believe. Don't swear by it, you just beat a monk yesterday to the point that your nose is blue and your face is swollen, in case you really get hated by the gods......"

Halfway through her words, she suddenly found that she actually took the initiative to grab Zhang Qian's hand. He hurriedly let go of his hand and turned his face to the side again.

"A monk can't represent God!" Zhang Qian smiled and shook his head nonchalantly. Immediately, he turned his gaze to his fingers and vaguely felt a wisp of tenderness. I want to lean over and let the other party shake it again, but I'm afraid that this move will be too abrupt. The smile suddenly became a little silly, and there was a longing in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Yang Qingxun didn't dare to look at him with his eyes again, and continued to walk forward with his head sideways, while telling with concern: "Although your Mo family doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, if you can not provoke the monk, it is better not to provoke it." Those people in Datang have already become a faction of their own. I don't know how many dignitaries and dignitaries are colluding behind it. Although you have a smooth career, you are only one person after all. ”

"The soldiers are coming. This kind of shameless person, the more you accommodate him, the more he will gain an inch. Not wanting the other party to worry about himself, Zhang Qian smiled and shook his head lightly again. Besides, I'm not alone. No matter how powerful the monk is, he doesn't have the ability to fight the court at present. I said a few words yesterday on purpose to the world. As long as it can spread, the monk and the accomplices behind him will definitely need to weigh it. ”

"What did you say, what else did you say when you beat that monk yesterday?" Yang Qingxun's attention was immediately distorted by his words. Turning his head, he asked with wide, watery eyes.

Zhang Qian recalled with a smile, and repeated yesterday's words truthfully: "I said, Zhang is a five-rank official of the imperial court, if even your home is taken away by you, where will you put the dignity of the imperial court?" After all, this world is a holy world, not a group of you thieves! Don't say that you thieves can't control the reincarnation of good fortune. Even if it can be managed, it should be the affairs of the world that belong to the court, and the affairs of ghosts and gods belong to the gods and Buddhas. No matter what scriptures you read or what teachings you believe, don't stretch your hand too far! ”

"Good sentence, the affairs of the world belong to the court, and the affairs of ghosts and gods belong to the gods and Buddhas!" In Yang Qingxing's eyes, a trace of admiration instantly swelled up, and he stopped and stroked his palm gently. "In Brother Zhao's words, it is really good, and the boundary between the monk and the court is directly drawn. If only these words had come a few years earlier......"

Shaking her head slightly, she herself rejected her assumptions. A few years ago, Zhang Qian was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was not from some minister's family, how could anyone listen to his words?

"I've asked someone to polish the notes and find a way to get them into the palace. Even if the saint couldn't see it, Xiao Servant would be able to take the time to sweep their eyes. They are all momentary heroes, and they should know that my words will be beneficial to Datang and will not do any harm. In front of his sweetheart, Zhang Qian didn't dare to act too incompetent, hesitated, and added in a low voice.

God to God, Caesar to Caesar, is the truth that Europe in another time and space realized from the pile of corpses after a long night of theocracy. Since then, the boundaries between religion and secular power have been clarified step by step, leading to the birth of modern politics and modern science.

Although the Tang Dynasty in this time and space is far less seriously invaded by divine power than Europe in another time and space, the proliferation of temples and monks has also overwhelmed the country. Therefore, Zhang Qian believes that he will "God to God, Caesar to Caesar", the stone of other mountains, to be remodeled, will definitely resonate in the hearts of people of insight!

"When I go back, I'll find a way to tell my grandfather about your folds." I don't know the situation of others, but it is obvious that Yang Qingxin has an extremely strong resonance with Zhang Qian's words in his heart. I didn't even think about it, so I promised in a low voice.

"Your grandfather?" Zhang Qian was stunned, and then realized that the other party's grandfather was also one of the several bigwigs in the court. Hurriedly waved his hand, and emphasized, "It's better not to, I made so much effort to ask you out, but I don't want you to help do this!" ”

"I know!" Yang Qingxin glanced at him and nodded slightly. "When you asked me out, the monk hadn't come to your house to make trouble. Brother Zhao, you asked me out because you wanted to tell me in person that my junior sister was fake, but the three-year appointment was real, right? ”

Knowing that the answer was like this, the words fell, but she felt empty for no reason. He lowered his head with a red face, not daring to make eye contact with Zhang Qian.

"Yes!" Zhang Qian's heart was suddenly filled with pride and courage, and he took a step forward, gently holding the finger of the ruby girl Yang Qingjing, "Senior sister is fake, but the three-year covenant is real!" I have made a promise, and I will never go back. ”

"Brother Zhang!" Yang Qingxin replied with a soft call, his face was so red that he was almost dripping blood, but between his eyebrows and eyes, he was full of happiness.

Zhang Qian subconsciously wanted to let go of his hand, however, as soon as his palm reacted, he felt the other party's fingers and shook it closely. In an instant, he had a heart and held his hand tightly again.

There are some things that don't need to be said anymore. Having said it, it seems redundant and verbose.

Her trembling arms and determined movements had told him everything.

Because she often rides horses, her index finger, middle finger and ring finger are sharpened in some places. It must not be described by the word "soft". However, this kind of hardness made Zhang Qianxin feel a little more confident in the future of the two people.

Because he has been fiddling with sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal, etc., lately, the skin on the inner surface of his fingers and palms is as rough as a craftsman. However, this roughness made her feel more secure.

……

"Don't worry, within three years, even if Tubo doesn't provoke a war, I will definitely be able to rescue you from the peace team!" For a long time, for a long time, when the heartbeats of the two people slowly returned to calm, Zhang Qian looked at the ruby girl's eyes and promised proudly.

"Hmm!" She replied softly, looking up into his eyes, each with a flame beating in each of his ears.

"Quack........." Dozens of jackdaws flew up from the treetops, screaming sourly and flying into the distance.
