Seventy-three, Yasi Dufu - Chu Ziya (above)

Sometimes the snow comes so suddenly, it was still sunny weather, I don't know when the snow began to fall, white crystal snow, falling from the sky, like a spirit dancing in the air, dancing in the cold wind, showing the unique beauty for the people of the world.

Ah Lai drove the carriage out of Nanluo Lane slowly, but it was cold falling from the sky, Ah Lai gently waved the whip in his hand, and then said to the two young masters in the carriage, "Little Wangye, Young Master Yu, it's snowing outside." ”

Hearing Ah say that it was starting to snow outside, Chu Ci didn't react, still leaning on the side of the carriage, squinting his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something, but Qi Lianyu seemed to be very interested in this sudden snow.

Qi Lianyu lifted the curtain of the car and watched the snowflakes fall from in front of him, and a cold blew into the car along the open curtain, blowing the flames in the charcoal brazier.

"Xiaoyu, what are you looking at, you are so fascinated." Chu Ci, who seemed to have been woken up by the cold, said slowly to Qi Lianyu.

"Look at the snow." Qi Lianyu replied.

"What's so beautiful about snow, it's all the same, and it's not the first time I've seen it."

Qi Lianyu lowered the curtain of the car, the cold was cut off by the heavy curtain, and the charcoal fire in the car also became a little calmer at that moment.

"I slept and felt like I hadn't seen it in a long time."

As if it had been blown into the car just now, Qi Lianyu was talking to Chu Ci there while slowly rubbing his hands, letting his hands quickly warm up.

Chu Ci was about to say something, but the carriage stopped after a pause.

"Little Wangye, the back alley of Lane 47 has arrived." Alai's voice came from outside the car.

When Chu Ci and Qi Lianyu stepped out of the carriage, the street outside had already been covered with a thin layer of silver frost, which shimmered in the sunlight with a charming light.

Qi Lianyu looked around and sighed softly, just feeling that things here are different people, and the other courtyard at that time has ended up like this.

Qi Lianyu took Chu Ci and walked towards the alley, and Chu Ci asked Ah Lai to wait there, which was to follow Qi Lianyu

, In fact, he knew that Qi Lianyu's purpose for coming here was probably to see the place where he had lived, although it seemed meaningless now, but all Chu Ci could do now was to follow him, then look at him, and wait for him.

The snow, which I don't know when it started, spread throughout Kyoto Prefecture and caught people who were shopping for New Year's goods outside off guard.

The paving outside also held up a big umbrella for the first time, blocking the falling snow, and some stalls without umbrellas simply collected the stall and returned home earlier, and now it is approaching the end of the year.

Snowflakes fall like autumn leaves.

In the palace of Chu State, in the prince's bedroom, Chu Ziya stood by the window and watched the falling snowflakes in front of him.

"Xiaoyan, is there any news from the eldest prince?"

Xiao Yan, dressed as a little eunuch beside Chu Ziya, slowly said to Chu Ziya, "Not yet." ”

Xiaoyan seemed to feel guilty for not being able to get the whereabouts of the eldest prince Chu Zizhan, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the crown prince Chu Ziya.

Chu Ziya was not angry, but turned around and rubbed Xiaoyan's head, and said to her, "It's okay, my eldest brother is protected by black armor guards, although eight years ago, my father allocated a part of the black armor guards to set up the Xuanjia Division in the Yasi Mansion, but the strength of the black armor guards itself should not be underestimated, although the number of black armor guards is small, but the strength is still undiminished, not to mention, if the eldest prince can obediently hand over the black armor guards, there must be some unknown deeds among them, or the father promised the eldest prince something, Or maybe it's the Yasi Metropolitan Mansion where the matter of the eldest prince is promised. ”

"It's just that the eldest prince hasn't shown up for half a month now, whether it's the ministers of the court and the central government going to visit the mansion, or someone is having a banquet, there is still no news from the eldest prince."

Chu Ziya thought for a long time, nodded slowly, and said, "This matter is really strange, the spies who were planted in the Great Prince's Mansion before were also subjected to false names and were expelled from the mansion, but they should have been killed."

The Great Prince found out. Shang Luoyan, what about Lord Shang, is there any news about the secret guards sent over?"

"There is nothing unusual in Lord Shang's place, every morning after the court, I go to the Black Armor Guard to inspect it, and then I stay there until evening, and I have never seen him come into contact with the Great Prince."

When Chu Ziya heard Xiaoyan's words, the corners of his mouth picked up, and then seemed to be talking to himself.

"Why is my eldest brother so mysterious lately, according to his temperament, it is a miracle to be able to stay at home for two days, how can he stay so long this time."

Hearing the prince say this there, Xiao Yan's expression became panicked, and he suddenly knelt on the ground, and said to Chu Ziya with a nervous expression, "Prince, it is Xiao Yan who is incompetent and cannot find out the truth for His Royal Highness, please punish His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Chu Ziya slowly turned around, and then looked down at Xiao Yan who was kneeling on the ground.

"I don't blame you for this, it's my eldest brother who is too treacherous, you get up first and go and prepare some gifts for me."

Xiaoyan heard that Chu Ziya didn't blame herself, and her expression was also much more relaxed, but when she heard that the prince asked her to prepare a gift for him, she was stunned, but she didn't know what Chu Ziya was going to do.

"After that, let people prepare the carriage, and let's go to the eldest prince to have a look."

The carriage slowly drove out of the palace and ran down the path, the snow outside had been falling for a long time, and the dead willows on both sides of the street were covered with hoarfrost, which gave Kyoto Prefecture a special taste.

The wind chimes on the edge of the carriage, jingling, seemed to announce their arrival to the people around them. The horses leading the carriage forward, looking up proudly, like a victorious general, are not so imposing.

It's just that it's a little remote, and the only thing that seems to greet the triumphant general is the dead willows with hoarfrost on both sides and the snow all over the ground.

"Your Highness, what if the eldest prince doesn't see us," Xiaoyan asked worriedly while looking at the dead willows on both sides of the path.

The crown prince Chu Ziya sat on one side with a calm face, roasting the charcoal brazier, and said with a light smile, "As my crown prince, where do you think I can't enter, what's more, I haven't seen my brother for many days, and I miss it very much, how could he not see me." ”
