"Your Highness"

"How?"

"Your Highness's forgiveness" Xu Bai suddenly clenched his fists and knelt down on one knee behind the second prince Feng Nannian, "The Assassination Pavilion was destroyed by His Majesty more than ten years ago, and basically no clues were left. As for the relationship between Xihe Niangniang and the Assassination Pavilion, the subordinates can't find out. As he spoke, he took out a few letters from his bosom and presented them with both hands.

Feng Nannian turned around, still looking cold. He took the letter, personally helped Xu Bai up, and said in a cold voice, "I don't blame you, if it weren't for the fact that when I was sorting out my mother's belongings, I didn't intend to find these letters, even I wouldn't have felt that my gentle and kind mother could have anything to do with the Assassination Pavilion." Narration .. Who? ”

"Your Highness, it's a concubine," Zhang Sumo outside the door replied in a low voice, with a hint of tremor in his voice.

The door opened, and a person appeared in front of Zhang Sumo's eyes, and she hurriedly saluted, "The concubine has seen two..."

"No need," the person at the door let out a chuckle, "Niangniang, I'm not Your Highness, I'm Your Highness's guard Xu Bai." ”

Zhang Sumo's face turned red all of a sudden, she had never seen the second prince since she entered the Second Prince's Mansion. If it weren't for the maid Qing'er urging her to take the initiative, she probably wouldn't have dared to come to see the second prince by now. She had been standing outside the door for a long time just now, and she had been hesitating whether to knock on the door, but she was discovered by the second prince.

"Well, is Your Highness here? I stewed white fungus pear soup and wanted to ask His Highness to taste it. ”

"Your Highness is inside"

"That's good" Zhang Sumo took the tray from Qing'er's hand and was about to go to the study.

"However," Xu Bai stopped Zhang Sumo, took the tray from her hand, and said, "Your Highness, this person doesn't like people to enter his study, soup, accept it." Mother, please go back. ”

"This..."

"Xubai, tell her that you don't have to send soup in the future." Feng Nannian's cold voice came from the study.

"Mother, you hear me. So, mother, please go back. ”

"Well, thank you to the white guards." Zhang Sumi left with Qing'er with a lonely expression.

Xu Bai shook his head, feeling unbearable. It's a pity that His Highness already has someone in his heart, otherwise such a stunning and gentle person, His Highness will be tempted sooner or later. He closed the door and walked in with a tray.

Inside, the candlelight flickered. Feng Nannian sat in front of the bookcase, still looking at the collection of letters seriously.

"Your Highness, soup"

"Pour it out," Feng Nan said without raising his head.

"Your Royal Highness, it's a piece of Niangniang's heart, you...."Seeing Feng Nannian staring at him, he hurriedly changed his words, "Okay, I won't say it." You don't drink, I drink. He turned his back, took the soup from the tray and drank it down, and wiped his mouth with a lingering taste.

However, good things are always illusory, and reality is cruel. After drinking the bowl of soup, Xu Bai was punished by Feng Nannian to practice boxing in the cold wind for an hour. Since then, when he saw Zhang Sumo again, he avoided leaving. I am afraid that my unintentional soft-heartedness will bring me a 'monstrous disaster'.

At night in the barracks, you can see the sky full of stars when you look up.

"Miss" Yun Jin lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.

"Are you done?"

"That's it. To give. Yun Jin patted the burden behind "I took it secretly, no one knows"

"Then act according to the plan" Sun Luyuan walked to the table, took a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and pressed it and a bottle of medicine under the teacup on the table. "Where's Xiao'an?"

"I told him that the eldest young master's medicine needs to be watched by someone close to him, so he won't be able to come back for a while."

"That's good." Sun Luyuan glanced back at Sun Lu'an who was lying on the bed, then turned his head and said to Yun Jin, "Let's go." ”

The two of them changed into soldiers' clothes in the tent, and while the patrolling soldiers were far away, they used incense to stun the two soldiers standing at the door. Drag them into the tent and stand at the door in their place, waiting for the other soldiers to hand them over. Then, with the token that Yun Jin brought from Xiao'an, he mixed up the barracks. It's just that there are no horses, and the two of them can only rely on their feet to go to the territory of the Jiang Dynasty.

By the time Xiao'an found out, it was already an hour later. When he saw the two soldiers who had fainted in the tent, he knew that it was broken, and when he touched his waist again, the token was gone. He hurriedly went to Sun Yubai's camp and told Sun Yubai about it.

When Sun Yubai heard this, his brain buzzed. Sun Luyuan has grown up since he was a child, how can he not know what kind of temperament he has. If it's gone, it must be going to the Jiang Dynasty. He followed Xiao'an to Sun Xiao'an's camp and woke up the fainted soldier with water. As a result, the two soldiers didn't know anything, they just said they smelled a scent, and then they didn't know anything.

"General, here's a note" Xiao An's eyes were sharp, and he saw the pressed note. Hurriedly pulled it out and handed it to Sun Yubai.

Sun Yubai took the note, and there were only a few words on it. 'Uncle, believe me, don't read it'. But he held the note and read it several times.

"General" Xiao'an suddenly knelt down, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "It's a dereliction of duty on the part of your subordinates, please allow your subordinates to go to the unfence son." ”

Sun Yubai didn't speak, picked up a candle, and lit the note in his hand. Watch as the light of the fire burns the note little by little, until it burns into ashes that can be blown away by a wisp of wind. He slowly spoke, "No need, you may not be able to find her if you go." She told me to believe her, and I believed her, and she would come back safely, even if it was for An'er's sake. After speaking, he glanced back at Sun Lu'an, who was lying lifeless on the bed.

Although the Feng and Jiang dynasties fought each other, there were still bold merchants on both sides to trade. Some say that the war has come to an end and that the winners and losers have been decided. There is also news that the two dynasties do not want to waste money and money, so they are preparing for peace talks. Some people even say that the Jiang Dynasty has already sent envoys for peace talks to the border, and they will go to the Feng Dynasty for peace talks in the near future.

Sun Luyuan and Yun Jin arrived at Fengjiang Town, a small town on the border of the Feng and Jiang dynasties, at dawn.

Although it is on the border, it is no longer a place where the two armies are fighting. Therefore, it became a resting place for merchants of the Feng and Jiang dynasties.

Sun Luyuan and Yun Jin sat down at a small noodle stall on the side of the road, one to rest, and the other to inquire about the news. They asked the shopkeeper for two bowls of noodles, and discussed how to sneak into the territory of the Jiang Dynasty while eating.

"The shopkeeper wants five bowls of noodles"

Four rugged men and a person who looked like a weak scholar also sat down in the stall, and they were sitting diagonally behind Sun Luyuan.

"Okay" The shopkeeper's response, not much effort, served five bowls of noodles.

Sun Luyuan unintentionally glanced at the weak scholar, not wanting to meet the person's gaze. She had no choice but to nod at the weak scholar, and the weak scholar also nodded back.

"Childe, you know this person." Yun Jin also turned his head to look at it and asked curiously.

"I don't know. Have you finished eating? After eating, let's continue on our way, time is pressing. ”

"Okay" Yun Jin wiped his mouth with his hand, picked up the sword, and carried the burden on his back.

Sun Luyuan took out a small piece of silver from his waist and put it on the table. Shaking the fan, he took Yun Jin out of the stall.

"Master, what are you looking at?" A big man with a somewhat fierce face asked the weak scholar beside him in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I just think that person is familiar. Much like one I've ever met. ”

"Master, this time we sneaked into the Wind Dynasty and found nothing. Could it be that General Sun Xiao was really not poisoned? Sitting opposite the weak scholar, a simple-looking man asked.

"This doesn't matter anymore, anyway, there are already peace talks. In the end, it is the people who are the scourge of war. The weak scholar said softly.

"Miss, this forest is a little weird. It seems like we've been hanging out in the same place for a long time. Yun Jin touched the marks carved on the tree last time and said worriedly.

Sun Luyuan covered it with his hands and looked up at the sky. At this moment, the sun is setting, and the golden sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, leaving a small speck on the ground. But in a little while, it will be dark. At that point, it will be even harder to find a way out.

"Yun Jin, this time we will change directions. We had to get out of this woods before it got dark. ”

"Good"

However, unfortunately. Half an hour later, the two of them walked back in circles. This time, however, they found a fire and a figure under the marked tree.

"It seems that someone," Yun Jin said, gesturing.

Sun Luyuan was in the big tree not far away, secretly poked his head out, looked at those people, and thought about whether to ask them to bring her and Yun Jin.

"Those two behind the tree, don't hide, come out."

Sun Luyuan and Yun Jin glanced at each other, their hearts chuckled, but they didn't move.

"Don't think about it, it's just the two of you."

Sun Luyuan poked his head out again, but he happened to meet a pair of smiling eyes. She recognized these eyes as the weak scholar at the noodle stall.

Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to hide. Sun Luyuan and Yun Jin walked out from behind the tree generously.

"This son, we are passing merchants, and we have lost our way in this forest. I didn't mean to hide behind the tree just now, so I'll forgive my son. Sun Luyuan clenched his fists and apologized to the weak scholar.

"No problem. This forest is weird, and you will get lost the first time. That is, peers, they should take care of each other. If these two sons don't mind, they can go with us. The weak scholar smiled slightly and said softly.

Sun Luyuan already had this intention, and now that people are enthusiastically meeting, they can't refuse. He sincerely thanked the weak scholar and took Yun Jin to find a place to sit down.

After nearly a day's journey, my body was tired. Yun Jin leaned against a tree and fell asleep after a while. Sun Luyuan took out a piece of clothing from his baggage and covered it with Yun Jin. She was actually very tired, but she had something on her mind and had trouble sleeping. So, with his head resting on his arm, he leaned against the tree and looked up at the starry sky.

"Why don't you sleep? I'm not sleepy. The weak scholar walked up to her and sat down next to her.

"Okay"

"Drink?" The weak scholar handed the wine jug in Sun Luyuan's hand.

"No," Sun Luyuan waved his hand, "Thank you"

The weak scholar didn't mind, opened the wine cork, took a big sip, and said, "It's cold weather, drink some spirits to warm up." After speaking, he handed it to Sun Luyuan again.

This time, Sun Luyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally took the flask and took a big sip. The big gulp of "cough, cough, cough" choked her. On weekdays, I drink fruit wine and sake, but now I suddenly drink such a big sip of spirits, which is too high. She wiped her mouth and returned the flask to the weak scholar.

"How?" After taking another big sip, the weak scholar asked, "It's not bad?" ”

"Also.. Okay" Sun Luyuan felt that the trees in front of him were shaking, and his tongue began to disobey him, as if it was knotted.

"Y-You're alright." The weak scholar scolded Sun Luyuan.

"Also...."Before the word 'line' could be spoken, my eyes couldn't be opened. With his head tilted, he leaned on the shoulder of the weak scholar and fell asleep.

The weak scholar chuckled lightly and muttered, "It turned out to be a cup poured." He took another sip of wine, then turned around and put his arm around Sun Luyuan's shoulders and let her lean against the tree. Picked up the flask and walked a few steps, then turned back again. He took off the cloak on his body and covered Sun Luyuan before turning to leave.
