In the first year of Yuankang, on the second day of August, Ye Xingcan's seventeenth birthday. Ye Yao made arrangements early in the morning, not only called the troupe, but also recruited a group of brothers who grew up together since childhood, and it was difficult for these generals who are now in charge of wind riding and snow riding to put down military affairs and rush back to Jianxing for thousands of miles.

Looking at the room full of men, Ye Yao realized that Ah Can didn't seem to have any female companions in the fifteen years of Yongning Palace.

Suddenly seeing a touch of red clothes mixed in it, it was not as pleasant as a surprise, but when I looked closely, it was Mu Xin'er, the daughter of Mu Yan, the master of the bow and crossbow camp, and I was a little stunned. Since Ah Can left the palace three years ago, Mu Xin'er has always chased after the young prince, and forced General Mu to come to propose marriage, so she had to do something to be the concubine of King Yongning.

Ye Yao still had a headache on how to get people away, and he didn't pay attention, Mu Xin'er had already chatted with Ah Can, Ye Yao hurriedly pulled Duguyun, the deputy general of the bow and crossbow battalion of the Wind Cavalry Army, who had been secretly sending autumn waves to Mu Xin'er, and wanted to insert it between the two.

walked in, Ye Yao heard that Mu Xin'er was talking about the battle of Changgu with Beiyin a few years ago, and was talking about two arrows in his body. Mu Xin'er spoke vividly and tearfully, and even when she heard it, she couldn't help but want to sigh a good man, let alone Ah Can. Although I am still close to Ye Yao in my heart, after all, I grew up together and are people who are worried about my heart, as soon as I heard that Ye Yao was hit by two arrows in his body and was still leading the troops to charge, he was anxious, his heart was wrinkled, tears could not stop flowing, I don't know what I thought of, and I cried more and more.

Ye Yao hurriedly protected the tearful man into his arms, Ye Xingcan looked up and saw Ye Yao, and he couldn't care about crying, and hurriedly asked where the injury was, if it was all healed.

Mu Xin'er originally wanted to show off in front of Ye Xingcan that she and the prince were born and died on the battlefield and that the couple had a deep relationship, but before she could talk about decocting medicine for Ye Yao, there were enough candles in the camp tent and two by two, so she was interrupted. Seeing the love between the prince and Ah Can, he shook his head angrily, and Duguyun hurriedly followed, accompanied by a smiling face and didn't know what he was talking about.

Knowing that his arrow wound had recovered, and Ye Yao coaxed him, the little daughter's tears came and went quickly.

Seeing that the young men who grew up together rarely got together, Ye Xingcan was also happy, remembering the Du Kang wine that was buried by Yanfei Lake with Ye Yao a few years ago, so he pulled the personal maid Lingxiang to fetch the wine.

Lingxiang dug vigorously according to the indicated position.

Ye Xingcan felt bored, so he sat by the lake and watched the fish pavilion, watching the lake sparkling and the small fish swimming around, playful, simply took off his shoes and socks, and put his feet into the lake.

Here, Ye Yao heard that a newcomer came to the Jianxing Shaomu Mansion, which had been empty for more than half a year, and he was still a new champion who had not covered his heat, and the weak scholar dared to go straight to Jianxing, so he became interested and decided to meet him.

It stands to reason that officials at all levels are appointed by the imperial court, and Jianxing is the capital of the seven counties in the northwest, and it is the closest important town to the Beiyin defense line, which is the most important thing. But the palace of the king of Yongning is here, and most of the officials who have served since ancient times are from the northwest department, and of course, there are also Beijing officials who are good at mixing with mud and being sent to mingle.

A few months ago, the former Jianxing Shaomu had a conflict with Lin Xiao, the captain of the Wind Cavalry Military Academy, although the reason was not clear, I only heard that the old and young pastor in his 50s was beaten half to death, and he directly sued the old man and returned to his hometown. The imperial capital also said that this Lin Xiao was the son of Lin Chunfeng, the main general of the wind cavalry infantry, and the king of Yongning protected the short, and he was not punished for half a point.

The ministers in Beijing were even more jealous when they heard it, so Huizong Jiu asked Jiu to push, and no one dared to take over the post of young pastor who said that it was not big, but it was not small.

I don't want to wait for the Northwest Department to recommend officials, and the new section champion Lang invited himself, and I don't know if the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, or if he is really stupid.

"Miss, may I ask where this is here, how to get to the regular hall, I seem to be lost......" A man's voice came from behind Ye Xingcan, and there was a little boyishness. She retracted her feet, which were still swinging in the lake, stepped on the fish-watching platform, and looked back at the owner of the voice.

Dressed in a black robe, the dragon and the phoenix posture, tall and independent like a lone pine, although the cheeks are slightly thin, but they are very good-looking. It's just that these are not important, Ye Xingcan looked at his face, it seemed to be familiar, and he couldn't help shedding tears, and gradually, the person in front of him and the person in his dream became one.

Before he could think about it, Ye Xingcan threw himself into the man's arms barefoot, looked up at him greedily, tears filled his eyes but he didn't dare to wipe them away, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the person in front of him would become illusory, and he woke up with only the flames of war.

Liu Qingrang stood by the lake, only remembering that he came to Yongning Wangfu to visit the prince, and he waited for a long time to go around, not wanting to get lost. I saw a girl in a goose yellow dress playing by the lake, and then, I saw this girl who was a little more beautiful than the Nine Heavens Fairy looking back at herself, and then, she was in her arms.

Liu Qingrang thought it was a dream, and couldn't help biting his lip, a trace of blood, sweet, and painful. Looking down again, the girl in her arms was still there, tears in her eyes, and her eyes seemed to contain thousands of attachments, looking at herself with a smile.

Liu Qingrang felt as if time had stood still, his mind was empty, but it seemed to be full of women in front of him.

"Miss, you must have remembered the wrong place, and I dug three big pits, and then I found it on the left side of the Gantang tree, you are really ...... Bang ......" Before he finished speaking, Lingxiang saw the two people hugging each other by the lake, and when he saw the man's face, he was shocked and lost the wine he had just dug out.

Hearing the human voice, Liu Qingrang reacted, gently let go of the woman in his arms, took two steps back, and saluted.

Lingxiang knew that it couldn't be that person, so she stabilized her mind, quickly supported Ye Xingcan, who had not yet stood firmly, and swept the corner of her eyes to the man opposite, only to find that compared to the military generals in the palace, the man was very weak and thin, and he stood there in a daze, and he was a little stupid. If you look closely, in fact, the facial features are not very similar, at most they are five points similar to that person, especially the eyes, the person is like a fire that burns and contains thousands of worlds, but the person in front of him is so clean that it is not stained with a trace of dust......

The young lady didn't even remember, and suddenly saw a man in a dark robe, with a somewhat familiar posture and face, so she was confused.

Liu Qingrang looked at the two women in front of him, made a gesture again, and spoke, "Xiaosheng Liu Qingrang, a person from Jiangnan, came to Jianxing to take over as the young pastor, and came to visit King Yongning, I don't want to get lost in the palace and disturb the young lady." ”

When the sentences came, Ye Xingcan seemed to not understand, muttered, and didn't know what to say, as if he was not controlled by his brain, he blurted out, "They want to insult me and kill me, did you save me and stand in front of me?" ”

Liu Qingrang was stunned on the spot, chewing on this question, unable to think of a clue, so he had to answer, "Xiaosheng grew up in a home school, and then entered Taixue, I have never seen Miss, and what sword to block." ”

Ye Xingcan looked at Liu Qingrang fixedly, seemed to come back to his senses for a long time, and hurriedly left with Lingxiang.

"Miss, you haven't told me who you are? Miss, I live in the Shaomu Mansion. Liu Qingrang wanted to chase after him, but he didn't know what to do when he caught up, so he had to stand by the lake and lose his mind.

After a long time, the royal entourage found the lake and found the new young pastor standing there in a daze, and then brought the person back to the regular hall to visit the king of Yongning.

——————————————————————

Liu Qing asked the attendants to return to the regular hall, only to see that the tables and chairs in the hall were decorated with dark red sandalwood, without complicated carvings and inlays, pure and elegant, but everywhere revealed the unique atmosphere and simplicity of the palace.

Liu Qingrang had heard a lot of anecdotes about the King of Yongning in the past, and he was extremely respectful, and he bowed before he looked up in the hall, and said, "The new Jianxing Shaomu Liu Qing asked him to meet the King of Yongning." ”

But he didn't see a response for a long time, so he had to look up, only to see that the person sitting on it was wearing a purple gold king suit, embroidered with a five-clawed dragon pattern, with deep facial features and deep pupils like night, not angry but mighty, more majestic and handsome than the legend.

Under the main seat, there are six seats on both sides, and four of them are military generals at first glance, although they are of different ages, they are all majestic, even if they are wearing regular clothes, they are also straight. Of the remaining two, the man in Tsing Yi was in the first place, and Liu Qingrang saw that he was wearing a clean cloth robe, thin, and more than 50 years old, so he guessed that it should be Qin Bingyi, the first strategist of the Yongning Palace, who also admired the Taixue Sacrificial Wine King. There is only one person left, who looks a little similar to Qin Bingyi, but he is much younger, and he has a pair of peach blossom eyes, but he squints slightly, and he is not affectionate but cold.

For some reason, Liu Qingrang felt the growing ...... around him Murderous? He didn't know if this word was right, after all, Xinke Zhuangyuanlang grew up in the academy since he was a child, and most of the people he met were scholars, even if someone wanted to scold Fang Xuan, it was impossible to show such an aura, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Liu Qing stabilized his mind, and actually raised his head proudly, watching King Yongning speak again, and the new Jianxing Shaomu Liu Qing asked to meet King Yongning.

This time, he saw that a touch of loss seemed to flash on the ice-like face of King Yongning, and it was fleeting, Liu Qingrang couldn't see it really, and only felt that he was dazzled.

Ye Yao waved his hand to let Liu Qingrang get up, and said in a deep voice, "Jianxing is the capital of the northwest, and there are many garrisons, so please ask Mr. Liu to think more." And he departed.

The people who sat with him also dispersed one after another, leaving only the young man with peach blossom eyes. Liu Qingrang saw that the man was looking straight at him, and he had a little twist, so he had to take a step back, ready to introduce again.

saw the young man smile and spoke directly, "Qin Yan, the commander of the Wind Cavalry Army's shadow department, just like you, has just taken office. Without waiting for Liu Qingrang to react, he said again, "Looking at this face that will blush, I can't bear it, fortunately, there are only a few similarities, if it looks exactly the same, I really don't know how to face it." ”

Liu Qingrang didn't seem to understand, so he could only pick the part he understood, and replied, "Liu Qingrang has seen General Qin, and I remember that when I was a child, when I was studying, my master once mentioned that the Qin family has been a military general for generations, and it has been loyal and good for generations. ”

"Generations of loyalty?" Qin Yan didn't know what to think of, so he looked at Liu Qingrang with a mockery, but the words changed and asked, "What is your relationship with the Lingdong Wang family?" ”

Liu Qingrang was stunned for a moment, but still told the truth, "My mother is the youngest daughter of the Wang family, but she has long broken off her relationship with her mother's family. ”

Qin Yan nodded, "That's right, your mother should be the daughter of the Wang family who eloped to the Liu family twenty years ago, they all say that the three families of Dayong, "Jiangnan Liu, Lingdong King, Northwest Shen" and are known in the world, this Jiangnan Liu and Lingdong King have not dealt with each other for generations, the daughter of the Wang family married the former general Qin Shuo, and the little sister actually eloped with someone, and she is still a concubine of the Liu family. ”

Hearing Qin Yan comment on his mother like this, Liu Qing straightened his body, raised his eyebrows, looked at the person who came, and said angrily, "How much do you know about the past, what qualifications do you have to talk about your father and mother." ”

Looking at the other party's angry eyes, Qin Yan was not angry at all, and actually laughed, "You are more like him like this," and then said, "Qin apologized for the offense, speaking of which, I am also a distant cousin of General Qin Shuo, looking at it this way, we are also relatives, and you can find me in the future." With that, he also departed.

Liu Qingrang looked at the empty regular hall, and was stunned, how did this come out, so he had to leave the palace with the attendants.

Sitting in the carriage, the young Jianxing Shaomu actually remembered the girl he met by the lake again, and guessed that she should be a member of the royal family, or a young lady from the general's family, who came to congratulate the princess on her birthday today. Thinking about it, I blushed again, thinking about whether I could have a chance to see each other again.
