"Guo Ran, don't worry, I'm here, I promise that July will not anger you because of the Guo family's affairs, I can't take you to see her recently, my mother is coming back soon, I will send you a post in two days to invite you to my house to talk, and I will definitely be able to see July at that time." Qiao Pre mentioned that July was always proud and proud, which made Guo Ran's curiosity about July even worse, he was already deeply impressed by July, and knew that July saved him in danger, and he must have gratitude and admiration, but he was very puzzled about what kind of person could make such a formless Qiao Pre babble every word.

"Then I'm welcome, it's naturally my honor to meet Princess Xiaoyang, and Princess Xiaoyang is my life-saving benefactor, I should personally thank you, but Guo Ran is humble, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get on the platform, if you get your introduction, it will naturally be the best."

Guo Ran thought for a moment, and felt that it was the safest way to be introduced by Qiao, Princess Xiaoyang's life-saving grace must not be forgotten, he was no longer the prince Guo who still hung the name of Zhongyi Bofu, he was just a homeless abandoned son living in Chengfu, he was soft-spoken, and he wanted to enter the Qingyue Platform as if he had ascended to the sky, and the emperor's suspicion was so heavy, he was afraid that he had to go to other places to analyze it after walking around in front of the Qingyue Platform twice, even if his original intention was not like that.

"Okay, you're also frightened today, you can rest for a while, I'll go out to talk to Uncle Bao about things first, and I'll send someone to inform you when we have dinner later." Qiao thought that since he came to Xishan, he would finish the things explained in the second uncle's letter first, so as not to take time to inform him later, and now it is his busiest time, and there is July this year, he has to follow her all the time, and he can't miss any opportunity to beat people, and the things that the second uncle explained are not difficult, just a few words, but the fewer people who need to know, the better, and it is best to be secretive.

Guo Ran naturally couldn't delay Qiao Pre's business, and he didn't have anything to ask Qiao Pre for the time being, anyway, he wouldn't be afraid if he stayed alone, this is Qiao Erye's other courtyard, those Jianghu bandits should not dare to be so presumptuous, Qiao Erye's prestige is known to everyone, who dares to joke on the tiger's ass, unless he really doesn't want to live.

"If you have something to do, hurry up, I have nothing to worry about here, if I have something that will make people come to you, I will sleep in the house for a while, and when I wake up, it may be time for dinner." Guo Ran immediately opened his mouth and asked Qiao Pre to do his own thing, there was no big deal here.

As soon as Qiao Pre left, Guo Ran really leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep, Dusk Xi watched Qiao Pre leave, and he quietly explored the Xishan Courtyard, and did not find anything wrong, this is worthy of the place of the second master of Qiao, the god of war, I don't know how many times stronger than the Qingyue platform, it seems to be loose, if someone really attacks, it is an iron wall.

It's just that this Second Master Qiao doesn't seem to have any other meaning in building such a courtyard on the West Mountain, looking at the two eyes, there are no other buildings within the radius, it can only be said that the nobles of the Handu do not have the habit of building another courtyard on the West Mountain, so the behavior of the Second Master Qiao is worth exploring.

It seems that this place needs to be investigated, even if it is of no use to itself, but it does no harm.

Qiao Pre left from his and Guo Ran's yard alone, and went straight to find the housekeeper Qiao Bao, his second uncle's explanation only needs Qiao Bao to know, and only Qiao Bao can do this matter alone, his second uncle's orders, Qiao Pre dare not have other changes.

"Uncle Bao, I have something to tell you, the rest of the people will go down and wait first!" Qiao Bao shouted at Qiao Bao, and when he saw the rest of the people who had been staring at him intently, he waved his hand and asked them all to step back, there are not many people who know about this matter, naturally the less the better.

Qiao Bao saw that Qiao Yu came to call him alone, and his eyes probed left and right and there was no one else, so he knew that there was something wrong, and it was very important, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "What is the matter with the fourth prince calling the old slave to come?" Please ask the fourth prince to command. ”

"My second uncle came to the secret letter, the situation in Jin Bei is becoming more and more unstable, the situation on the border is even more unpredictable, and there are more mysterious and impermanent forces outside Jin Bei, we have to make plans early, I am afraid that it will not be long before the storm will break out again, war and strife, the second uncle said that my Shaoyang eldest princess's mansion will not make a fortune, but I can't let the times tie my hands and feet, there are so many people in the house, tens of thousands of soldiers in Jin Bei can't starve to death, from today on, you will secretly hoard food everywhere, All the large-scale grain cultivation under my second uncle's name must not go wrong, do you understand? ”

Qiao Pre didn't feel anything special when he received Qiao Erye's secret letter, and he still opened it leisurely and read it as before, but the content surprised him, and even read the envelope and handwriting over and over again, over and over again, and only believed the news in the letter after making sure that there was no mistake, Qiao Pre was as addicted to fun as the rest of the noble children, and he didn't understand the situation of Jin's domestic and foreign troubles at all.

It's just that he is worried that there will really be turmoil like what his second uncle said, if that situation really happens, what should be the situation of the entire Jin country, what should the people of the Jin country be, and the powerful hairpin family can not protect themselves, not to mention the common people, according to the second uncle, how can the power of the Jin country be the opponent of those powerful people, and if there is a slight change, the Jin country will not be a country.

"The old slave understands, what the second master means, the old slave will fully cooperate, just to make the second master have no worries." Qiao Bao grew up with Qiao Erye Qiao Dan since he was a child, and he has been serving by Qiao Erye's side since he was a child, Qiao Erye's thoughts and ideas he knows best, the second master's business in Jin Bei must not have any resistance, once there is a wind and grass on the border, Jin Bei will be the most dangerous place, and the eldest princess is no longer involved in the government, if Jin Bei really has an accident, the group of traitors and villains in the court will definitely do something, so Xishan's preparations can not be delayed.

Qiao foresaw that Qiao Bao understood everything and was slightly relieved, he knew that there was no need to say much, every time he said something he didn't understand, he could guess one by one, and it was 100% correct, this time Qiao Bao still didn't have too much to worry about, he believed that Qiao Bao could understand.

"Uncle Bao, do you think what my second uncle said will really happen? What would we do if that day did? Qiao Yu has always been clothed and fed, he has never experienced hardships, and he does not understand what war means, but he has seen those women displaced by the war to live in the Qinglou, and he has also seen the pain of those who have become homeless and displaced people because of the war, and he has gradually learned what war will bring, and what unimaginable disasters it will leave to people.

Qiao Bao has always understood his second master, there is no so-called belief or disbelief, he always understands why the second master wrote such a frightening secret letter, if Jin Bei's situation is optimistic, the second master will not be so anxious, can only say that the second master has no other way.

"Fourth son, it won't be wrong for the old slave to only know the second master, he is your second uncle, even if you don't want to see him all the year round, you should also understand the second master's character." Qiao Bao, as the most trusted person of Qiao Erye, can be said to be a relative-like existence, he naturally understands the relationship between Qiao Pre and Qiao Erye, even the prince is not comparable, and the prince will be jealous, just because his son is too willing to stick to his own brother, and Qiao Erye has been trapped by love all his life, has never been married, and will not be ready to marry in the future, and he will treat Qiao Pre as his own son, otherwise he will not hand over the Xishan Courtyard to Qiao Pre, and he will not always contact Qiao Pre alone.

"Of course I know, my second uncle's favorite is me, and only I have the best relationship with my second uncle on weekdays, if even I don't know the second uncle's temperament, no one will know, and, naturally, I also believe in my second uncle, but ...... It's just that...... It's just that I'm a little worried about the second uncle. Qiao Pre actually understood everything, when he saw Second Master Qiao's secret letter, just thinking of the turmoil, war, and beacon fire in Northern Jin, Qiao Pre couldn't help but be afraid, and he was also worried about whether his second uncle's situation would be dangerous.

Qiao Bao was relieved in his heart, and he was also glad that the second master really did not see the wrong person and handed over such an important matter to Qiao Pre, but after listening to Qiao Pre's words, he was also a little worried, even if he believed in his second master's skills, he was still a little worried.

"Second son, you don't have to worry, the second master will never let himself get into trouble, maybe everything will get better slowly." Even if Qiao Bao had a slight worry in his heart, he couldn't show it in front of Qiao Qian, and persuaded Qiao Zhu not to worry too much.

Qiao Pre's emotions came and went quickly, after listening to Qiao Bao's persuasion and comfort, Qiao Pre no longer thought so much, looked at the sky that had changed slightly, and gradually grayed out, Qiao Pre said thoughtfully: "Uncle Bao, I guess it's time to eat, but is the meal ready?" ”

"Fourth son, it must have been prepared, if you want to eat now, the old slave will go and prepare it for you, they are all characteristics of the West Mountain, and they are your favorite dishes every time you come."

Qiao Bao just came out of the kitchen, and was intercepted by Qiao Pre as soon as he walked here, he was naturally the person who knew the kitchen dynamics best outside of the chef, and when he heard Qiao Pre mention the meal, he immediately picked up the conversation.

"Then let's set the meal first, I'm almost hungry, I don't have lunch today, I just don't know if Guo Ran is awake, and I don't want to go to see him, so it's better to put dinner in my yard, so I don't bother to move back and forth." Qiao thought that he didn't know Guo Ran's situation, so he let him put the dinner in his yard, and he didn't have to walk back and forth.

"Yes, Fourth Prince" Qiao Bao didn't think there was anything wrong with it in the yard, Qiao Yu still ate in a regular manner this time, and he had done a lot of strange things before, even eating on the tree, not to mention this little thing.

Qiao Bao got Qiao Pre's words, and immediately retired, and quickly went to Qiao Pre's yard to prepare, and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to let people set up dinner.

As soon as Qiao Bao left, Qiao Pre was left alone, and it didn't mean anything, Qiao Pre had to go back to the yard alone, and he was about to have dinner, but he couldn't forget Guo Ran, when he was leaving, he seemed to say that he wanted to sleep lightly for a while, and now it is estimated that he has not woken up.

As soon as Qiao Yu was willing, he said in a loud voice: "Guo Ran, Guo Ran, are you awake, hurry up, it's time to eat soon." ”

Guo Ran didn't fall asleep, just closed his eyes and fell asleep, he had already opened his eyes when Qiao Pre just opened his mouth to say the first word, and naturally he heard what Qiao Pre said, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window that was almost dusk, and knew that what Qiao Pre said was not wrong, he slightly packed up his clothes and pushed the door out, Qiao Pre was already arranging things in the yard.

"Alas, Guo Ran, it's good that you're awake, you're about to eat, I only ate a little dry food at noon today, and my teeth hurt before I bite it, and I'm already so hungry that I don't even have the strength to have a way, but I thought that you were the same as me, so I insisted on coming over." Qiao Yu began to brag again, he didn't talk nonsense for a day, and he felt that life had no meaning.

Guo Ran couldn't hold back a smile, he had been with Qiao Yu for so long, Guo Ran also understood his character a little bit, even if he hadn't done anything on weekdays, he had to brag about his talents with people he knew or knew well.

"Then thank you, if it weren't for your words, I guess I wouldn't have woken up yet!" Guo Ran listened to Qiao Yu's boasting, and immediately replied that he was asleep, and it was his voice that woke him up, and it was just time for dinner.

"No, no, where do I need your thanks, what's this, you and I are friends, there is no need to mention these between friends."

As soon as Qiao Yu remembered that he had saved Guo Ran, and now that there were prescient people who knew that Guo Ran was not awake, Qiao Yu's tail was about to go to the sky, and he couldn't wait to meet Handu immediately, so that those people would be happy when they smelled their bodies.

Qiao Bao saw that Qiao Pre had not given orders, so he waited outside the courtyard, and listened to Qiao Pre and Guo Ran's voices gradually become quieter before leading people in.

"Fourth son, Guo Gongzi, dinner is ready, I don't know where it is?" Qiao Bao knows Qiao Qian's temperament, he doesn't dare to make his own decisions, no one can guess Qiao Qian's thoughts, maybe it will break out at any time, it's better to let him decide by himself.

Qiao Yu looked around and said, "Just put it in the yard, it's empty, and it just so happens that Lao Guo and I are in the yard, so we don't need to move it." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid this is not good, the autumn mood is gradually becoming cold, Guo Gongzi is thinly dressed, if the cold enters the body, it will be difficult to do, Childe, do you really want to put it in the yard? Hearing Qiao Pre say that it was placed in the yard, Qiao Bao frowned slightly, the current weather is not as good as a few days ago, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will be contaminated with cold, and the humidity and cold on the West Mountain are also heavier than the rest of the places, where does he dare to let Qiao Pre behave nonsense, and immediately said that Guo Ran's clothes are less, and he just asks Qiao Pre to change his mind.

Qiao pre listened to Qiao Bao's persuasion, and sure enough, his face changed slightly, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but after listening to Qiao Bao's last few words, he also looked at the robe Guo Ran was wearing, it was really a little thin, Qiao pre couldn't help but scold himself secretly when he thought of what he said before about setting up a meal in the courtyard, he only cared about his own thoughts, and he didn't have any scruples and considered Guo Ran's situation, he really deserved to fight.

"Then put it in the house, and then let the embroidery girl drive two robes out for Lao Guo, this West Mountain is not as cold as Handu, naturally it is colder, and the clothes worn in Handu can't stand it here." Qiao saw that Guo Ran was still wearing a simple autumn shirt, how could he still close his eyes and pretend not to see it and continue to stubbornly put dinner in the courtyard, how could such a thing be done.

Guo Ran heard Qiao Yu's words, and slowly understood the coldness mentioned by Qiao, Guo Ran was absolutely peaceful.

Qiao Yu still has an aura on his body, he is worried about what he is expecting, and he doesn't want to be hurt in every way, so he naturally has other calculations.

"This sheep is not a place to rest, and his own meat has not been brought over, and it will be in vain if he goes." Qiao Yu was very clear about his situation, and he was naturally very clear about what he was doing, and the things on his back were now slowly arranged.

"Childe, don't worry! You didn't arrange anything, the old slave didn't make his own decisions, you better go and rest first, it's still early. After Qiao watched them leave in a hurry, he naturally knew in his heart what was left, and the sound was different from normal mutton, so he naturally had to ask clearly.

After Qiao asked clearly, he knew that this had been arranged a long time ago, and the mutton that had been produced several times in a row was very small, and what the taste was still in it, naturally it was clear.

The dark night gradually came, Qiao Bao quickly arranged dinner, Qiao Pre immediately took Guo Ran to sit, and vigorously gave Guo Ran a dish and said: "Old Guo, how about you taste it first, this is a characteristic of the West Mountain, there is no one in this season now, or it was collected before, so I took this opportunity to let Qiao Pre and Guo Ran try it." ”

"Qiao Yu, you can eat by yourself, don't worry about me, I know what to do, and I will never think of humility." Guo Ran saw that there were sharp dishes in his bowl, and hurriedly asked Qiao Yu to stop quickly, and he would never be polite to him before he was relieved.

Qiao Pre and Guo Ran had dinner on the West Mountain, and July in Qingyue Taizhong had already had dinner, and now they had put on their black dress and cloak of the same color as the night, and the whole person disappeared into the night.

But for a moment and a half, July was already standing on the roof of Prince Mu's mansion, and it happened that July's place of residence was the Nian Qi Pavilion where the cold twilight was, July looked at the flashing lights in her heart and retreated, she didn't know how to speak, so many years, this time will be the first meeting between the two, he should be unexpected, he never thought it would come so quickly, but they have already come, and when I go back, my heart will only be more itchy, why not take advantage of it now to say it clearly.

"The old man is visiting, I wonder if Prince Mu is willing to see him?" July, who had made up his mind, suddenly said such a sentence.

July deliberately lowered her voice, Leng Twilight naturally didn't guess who she was, and thought it was a man, but the moment July pushed the door in, he didn't react for a long time, he didn't know how to face July, and he didn't expect to meet July with such a face and state.

"Come in." When Leng Twilight heard the words of the old man's visit, her heart suddenly chuckled, but listening to the voice, she couldn't guess who it was, but there would be no other people who didn't know each other who were old people, so Leng Twilight let her in and talk about it, didn't she figure it out?

July's footsteps paused slightly, and her hand trembling when she touched the door, this was the first time July was so excited after the separation, it had nothing to do with hate and love, but the excitement alone made her tremble slightly, and what else.

July pushed the door in, and what greeted him was the tired, muddy cold twilight, those eyes had lost their former brilliance at all, even July felt too incredible, how could a person have two feelings, and the moment Leng Twilight saw him, the shock flashing in his eyes reminded him that he was him, but it was so unbelievable.

"It turns out that the famous Prince Mu is my old friend, it's really unbelievable, I've been looking for it for so long and thinking about it for so long, this result is really unexpected." July's tone was self-deprecating and a little weird, with that kind of unhappiness in his heart.

Leng Twilight didn't speak for a long time, he really didn't know what to say, the entanglement between him and July was his own failure, no one could complain about anyone, and he had already thought through it. But as soon as she saw the real July, Leng Twilight had the pain of regretting her mistakes.

"I ...... I didn't expect to have such a scene today, these days I always dream of the bits and pieces at that time, it turned out to be an omen that you are coming, I thought I had seen it, but as soon as I saw you, I couldn't help it...... I can't help but want to come forward and hug you, July, have you ever hated me? Cold Twilight knew that it was impossible for him and July, and he didn't ask for forgiveness, he just wanted not to hate.

July heard Leng Dusk's words, and remembered the news that Red Moon had found, but what she could do had already reached the point where it was today, and July had nothing to say.

"Lord Mu, just like you said, after so many years in a hurry, July is no longer the July of that year, the current July is just Xiao Yang, what's the use of hating or not hating, hating or not hating is already a thing of the past." July's voice seemed to have no desire, she had nothing more to say, everything had dissipated with time.

"I just want to know if you hated me in the first place, that's enough!" When Twilight heard July's evasion, he knew she still minded, but he still wanted to hear the answer with his own ears.

The bitter questioning of the cold twilight made July really have no choice, so he had to open his heart and explain the things of the year clearly, otherwise he would not be able to say it completely.
