It was already bright, and it was snowing again. Covered by heavy snow, the road ahead was even more bumpy.

escorted Qi Yue to Linyue Villa, and now there are only two people left.

Tang Wei was afraid that he was the luckiest in the disaster last night, fainting to death several times to avoid disaster. But since he woke up, he has never said a word, and the whole person looks extremely bad, depressed and unhappy, without the tricky and mean of the past, and walks alone on a horse.

It seems that after last night's incident, he left a lot of gloom in his heart.

On the contrary, Xiao Cheng's chest injury has improved greatly, and his complexion is good. He sat leisurely in front of the carriage, whipped down, "whew", the horse ran very fast, and the rear of the carriage brought up a large cloud of snow and dust.

In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Tang Wei in front of him and walked side by side with him.

"Why didn't Lord Tang say anything today, but he was too frightened by what happened last night." Xiao Cheng looked straight ahead, Tang Wei's face was pale from the corner of his eye, and there was a joke in his eyes.

Tang Wei snorted coldly, his emaciated cheeks bloodless. As soon as he thought of the thing that was not human or ghost last night, his heart was blocked, and the five-tailed big fox he saw when he woke up didn't know whether it was his dazzle or the ghost's trick.

He turned his head and glanced at the carriage, his eyes rolling to guess.

Isn't that fox really weird!

Looking at Xiao Cheng indifferently, Tang Wei finally spoke, "You don't have to gloat." The corners of his mouth sneered, "That goblin thing was so fierce last night, you subdued it alone." After a pause, "General Wu Ning, it really deserves its name!" ”

"Where can I compare to you, Lord Tang." Xiao Cheng grinned heartily, his hard cheeks were well-defined, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Talking to this Tang Wei, he has learned a lot of tunes with guns and sticks.

Tang Wei didn't say a word, and swept towards Xiao Cheng with a smug face, and the resentment in his eyes grew stronger.

Under the white snow in the distance, the outline of a corner of the city is slightly exposed, and you can vaguely see the magnificent city gate, the word Kyoto, brilliant and domineering.

The two raised their whips, and the horses galloped forward.

In the snowy wind, Tang Wei spoke again, "General Wuning, I saw a five-tailed big fox last night. ”

Xiao Cheng looked surprised, thought in his heart, shook his head and denied it, "I haven't seen it, it's not that Lord Tang is dizzy." ”

Tang Wei was so angry that he glared, "I just fell for that ghostly trick!" ”

I thought to myself, since this Xiao Cheng had never seen it, it seemed that he had really fallen for the ghost technique.

"Lord Tang said that it was a trick to cover the eyes, and that was a trick to cover the eyes." Xiao Cheng shook his head and sneered.

Hurry up, and the snow and dust brought up by the carriage flew away, and Tang Wei's face was all over his face.

He raised his hand and pointed angrily, gritting his teeth, "It's almost time to go back to Kyoto now, I'll see how long you can be proud!" ”

Kyoto used to be the place where Qi Yue longed to go out of the mountains, but now it is a cage that traps her.

In the car, she curled up with her knees huddled, her eyes empty and expressionless. Now she's alone.

Listening to the hustle and bustle of Xiao Cheng and the others outside, Kyoto is close at hand.

Fluttering eyelashes.

Qi Yue adjusted her posture and sat upright, with a wry smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

The fox's departure did make her haunted, and she couldn't tell whether it was resentment or guilt. It saved her from danger several times, and now it has not repaid her properly, but it has not said goodbye. And it has been accompanied all the way, she has long regarded it as her closest friend, in this other world, except for her grandparents, there is only one fox to accompany her.

But how can there be a banquet in the world that will not be dispersed?

suddenly remembered the poems she had learned in her previous life: Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more Nakan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival!

Others are snubbing the Qingqiu Festival, but she is cold in the vast winter snow.

Sighing secretly.

What she didn't know was that the leafy birthmark on her eyebrows shimmered with golden light. In the borderline, a five-tailed white fox emitted a silver glow, floating in the air, curled up and sleeping. It was plunged into darkness, and countless stars shone in it, wisps of fluorescent fluorescence that slipped into its mouth and nose.

"Phew!"

The carriage stopped, and several male voices sounded outside the carriage.

Qi Yue knew that Kyoto had arrived.

"Go into town and show the token!"

In front of the gate of the Black Gold City, two rows of soldiers lined up neatly, wearing armor and holding spears, led by a middle-aged man with a long beard in the middle.

Tang Wei impatiently escaped from his arms with a temporary plaque engraved with the word "Tang".

The man nodded, raised his hand and gave way, "Lord Tang, please!" ”

Xiao Cheng and the others drove the carriage and slowly entered the city with the procession.

I saw that it was very lively at the moment, the roadside vendors were constantly shouting, and the pavilions were full of people, and everyone was smiling.

In the carriage, Qi Yue didn't listen to anything outside the window and sat quietly.

In the past, she might have liked the excitement very much, but now that she is parting with life and death, she has no thoughts.

Now that my grandfather is also in Kyoto City, I think about it these days, this is probably the closest and farthest time to my grandfather.

The corners of his mouth smiled coldly.

The two drove the carriage slowly on the road, and I don't know how long it took, Qi Yue didn't hear the noise again.

Raising his hand to lift the corner of the curtain, I saw that there were few people outside, and the cedar trees on both sides of the road were tall and straight, and the green branches were luxuriant, covered with layers of snow.

After a corner, you will see an empty lawn, with a high gray palace wall in front of you, pavilions and pavilions, and yellow glazed tiles that stand out in the snow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Listening to the bell, Qi Yue looked up and saw a black figure beating the drum bell on a four-cornered platform on the southeast side of the palace wall.

"Brother Xiao, this is the palace." Qi Yue asked lightly, raising her hand to the drum bell in the southeast, "What is that place?" ”

Xiao Cheng nodded, "It's time to the palace." "That's the sacrificial bell tower." ”

Looking sideways at Qi Yue, she was still childish, and her eyes were bright and unstained.

But two years later, I don't know where she went.

Unbearable in his eyes, Xiao Cheng continued: "That direction is the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion where the sacrificial ceremony is opened. ”

"I see." Qi Yue nodded slightly, put down the curtain, and her eyes were cold.

In two years, she will go to the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion to see the so-called sacrificial ceremony.

Shun the clothes.

She understood, leaving her grandparents and ... For now, I can only rely on myself.

"Dismount!"

The outside of the car suddenly became noisy, and only the crisp voice of the woman, laughter, and shouting could be heard.

Xiao Cheng opened the curtain of the carriage door and looked at the girl sitting inside, "Qi girl, we have arrived." He paused slightly, looking worried, "The road ahead can only be walked by yourself." ”

"I understand, Brother Xiao." Qi Yue evoked a smile, her eyes clear.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Tang Wei walked towards the two, holding a silk book in his hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Qi, come with me, I'll take you to Lady Lin." He handed her the silk book.

Qi Yue took the silk book, looked up at Xiao Cheng beside him, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, thank you all the way, take care." ”

"You're welcome to me, take care of the Qi family." Xiao Cheng smiled heartily, raised his hand and touched her brain, "Go ahead." ”

Qi Yue nodded, followed behind Tang Wei, and walked towards a group of women not far away.

"Stand up, don't be in the wrong place."

Not far away, a woman wearing an official hat and a blue brocade dress stood on the high platform, shouting at the top of the stage and commanding a group of little girls who were chattering and not stopping.

Qi Yue tilted her head and looked at her, only to see that she had a serious expression, holding a booklet in her hand, and reading the names of each young lady in her mouth.

"Feng Tangxin, Yue Chaoxia, Situ Lanqi, Tang Lin, Yunzhi..."

The young ladies of the family who were called were arranged in turn under the female envoy's stage, all of them were exquisitely dressed and had beautiful brocade robes. They are all thirteen-year-old girls, their faces are childish, some are curious, some are whispering, and some are standing in place with arrogant expressions......

Tang Wei, who had returned to Kyoto, seemed to be alive again, his face was much better than in the ice and snow outside, and he looked at the woman on the high platform with a smile, "Female Officer Lin." ”

"Lord Tang has arrived." Lady Lin greeted her with a smile and bowed slightly.

Tang Wei nodded, and instructed Qi Yue beside him: "Miss Qi, after entering the palace, you must obey Lady Lin's words and deeds." ”

Qi Yue nodded slightly, her expression cold.

The ladies of the family looked sideways, with different expressions on their faces.

On the stage, Lady Lin flipped through the booklet and found Qi Yue's name at the bottom. She lowered her eyes to look at the simply-dressed girl in the audience, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

This Qi family Qi Yue is the first time I have heard of it.

Pointing to a position in her hand, Lady Lin ordered, "Miss Qi, just stand there." ”

Qi Yue looked over, it was the end of the line.

Walk straight ahead.

At this time, many of the ladies of the family on the side stopped talking and came with sideways glances. On their immature faces, there were expressions that did not match their age, mockery, indifference, coldness, disdain...

They whispered.

"Look at her, what she is wearing, it's rude. ”

"Oh my God, look, is that a scar on her forehead!"

"The young lady of the Qi family, how can she dress so simply."

"Hahaha, it's really insightful." ……

Listening to the girls' unbearable remarks, Qi Yue lowered her eyes, and her eyes were extremely clear.

She knew that what she must have met later was not as simple as the ridicule of these little girls.
