"Where have you been all day?" The bright moon was in the sky, the breeze was slow, and Du Rong stretched out his legs and stopped me outside.

"Shh I motioned to him to be quieter, "Master is about to come on a night patrol, you let me in first, and I will explain everything to you when I enter." ”

Du Rong raised his eyebrows and didn't move.

"Okay Du Rong, you can be gracious, it's Lu Fuzi who patrols the night today, I really don't dare to provoke him." I begged him for mercy, "I was punished by him for copying books last time, and now my hand still hurts!" ”

Du Rong glanced at my hand twice, his eyes moved, and he still let me in.

After setting up the illuminated candles and putting away the tea set to quench his thirst, Du Rong knelt down at the table and waited for me to explain today's events in detail.

As soon as I saw his position, I knew that I couldn't rely on it today, so I could only kneel down and sit down in resignation.

"I'm ...... today" hesitated for a while, and I decided to make up a half-truth to perfunctory him.

Who knew that Du Rong seemed to have seen what I was thinking a long time ago, and directly threw me six words with a smile: "Don't try to lie to me." ”

"......" I shook my body and bent the lie I wanted to tell, "I'm going to ride a horse in the suburbs today." ”

"And then?"

"Look at the scenery."

"Hmm, then?"

"The scenery is beautiful, the water is clear, and the flowers are double-petaled."

"Well, go on."

"......" I struggled for a while, and finally broke the can, closed my eyes and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been with me all the time, and today he found me, and we rode horses in the suburbs for a day." ”

The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, and Du Rong pursed his lips to look at me, his face turned blue.

"I know," I said in a weak voice, "you don't deal with His Royal Highness the Prince, and Qizhou also ...... with the imperial court."

"Shen Qingzhi!" Du Rong suddenly let out a shout, which frightened me so much that my voice stopped, and the whole person shrank back.

"You and I are just two small academy students, and if you talk about the government in vain, you will be killed!"

Shocked, I lowered my head, "I was negligent." ”

Du Rong saw that I looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, his expression was sluggish, and he couldn't help but soften his heart again, he sighed, and stuffed the freshly poured warm tea into my hand.

"He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I don't need to deal with him for anything, you don't always care about the incident three years ago."

I bit my lip, but I still didn't dare to look at him, "I know, but after all, I almost hurt Master and Master back then, and you, how could I not care?" ”

"That's how you are," Du Rong shook his head helplessly, "You have to pretend to be in your heart about everything, and sooner or later you won't be able to pretend to be able to do so." ”

I blinked and muttered, "I'll talk about it when I can't fit it anymore." ”

"I said, you're ......"

"Shh I poured the tea on the candlestick, pulled Du Rong and squatted down, hiding behind the door.

The room was suddenly dark, but a light slowly drifted by outside, accompanied by a few slight coughs from Lu Fuzi.

As I heard his footsteps drift away, I let out a big breath and sat down on the ground.

"I'm scared to death, I'm almost caught by him."

"You're so afraid of him?" Du Rong stood up, and then Yuehui looked at me.

"Of course, except for you, who is not afraid of him up and down the academy? Even when He Wei saw him, he had to avoid three points. I glanced at him with a sourness.

It is said that this academy is up and down, back and forth, from a sweeping handyman to a black-faced and serious Lu Fuzi, there is almost no one who doesn't like him.

I don't know how he did it, he was either with me all day, or reading in the study, and he didn't see anything else?

"That's what you like to provoke him." For example, Du Rong bent down to pull me up while laughing, and in the dark, the smile in his eyes was so real that I couldn't help but be in a trance.

"Green Branches." He called my name suddenly.

"Huh?" I looked up at him.

"I'll leave the White Crane Academy next month, would you like to come with me?"

I was stunned and asked him, "Let's go?" Where to go? ”

"You can go wherever you want." Du Rong looked at me and smiled, "The mountains and rivers of the world, the plains of the four seas, we ride horses together, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the scenery of the four seasons, all under you and me, Xiaoqingzhi, follow me, far away, away from the capital, away from Qizhou." ”

My heart fluttered suddenly, and my mouth opened wide in shock and shock. Twenty fifty thousand

Come with him?

Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, wandering around, as my heart wishes, going to Changge and leaving the original feelings, no matter the rights and wrongs of the capital, and no matter the transaction with Cen Xi, just like that, go from south to north, with him.

But......

"Three years ago, I wanted to stay in Qizhou, Cen Xi personally came to threaten me, if I go with you this time, he will definitely not let go of Qizhou, let go of Master and Master."

Du Rong's eyes dimmed for a moment, he deviated his gaze, and said in a low voice, "I sneaked away with you, left the capital, and didn't return to Qizhou, Cen Xi knew afterwards, with his current ability, it is impossible to embarrass my father and my mother, that is, the emperor, without a handle in hand, he can't help anything in Qizhou." ”

Sneaking away?

I was stunned.

It turns out that he has already thought so deeply? Or has he been thinking about this matter in his heart for a long time?

Looking at his dull eyes, I suddenly felt a little distressed.

It is said that he is the young city lord of Qizhou, the son of a big family, with a noble status and a superb temperament, and even his martial arts are no longer under the martial master.

But who knows? His position as the lord of the young city, his identity as a big family, all of this is like a boulder, constantly piling up on him, his knowledge and foresight, and his internal strength and martial arts are all boiled out in sweat and blood.

If it weren't for the fact that three years ago, I inadvertently saw the master holding a basin of cold water and splashing it on his thin body, just because he didn't take a steady step, I couldn't believe that Du Rong had been silently enduring so much behind his back.

"Okay, then you pick a day, let's slip away at night, and go all over the world."

Since you have such an overwhelmed family and responsibility, and I also have the pain and past that I can't shake off, it is better to leave these places that bind us together, the world is so big, we can gallop freely.

"You...... Seriously? Du Rong's eyes lit up, and the color of joy spread directly in his eyes, but he still tried his best to restrain himself, and asked me again with some uncertainty.

I nodded, "Seriously." ”

After getting my affirmative answer, the smile in Du Rong's eyes could no longer be contained, he waved his big hand and said to me, "I will do all the books you have been punished for copying today, you go to sleep, remember, on the fifteenth day of the next month, at the gate of the East City, at the time of the child, I will go to the guards in advance, and then I will wait for you there, you can pack a few bags and come over quickly." ”

"On the fifteenth day of the next month, at the gate of the east city, the time of the child...... Remembered. I nodded, "But why did I get punished again today?" I'm not in the academy! ”

"This afternoon, Lu Fuzi spot-checked "Xunzi", and it just so happened that you were not there." As soon as Du Rong waved his hand, the candlestick lit up, he walked to the bookcase and sat down, spread out a roll of white paper and began to write.

"Then ......," I approached him, pointed to the "Xunzi" on the bookcase, and asked him, "How many times is this going to be copied?" ”

Du Rong stopped his pen and looked at me with raised eyebrows, "What do you think?" ”

I swallowed, moved a stool and sat next to him, spread out the paper and took the pen, and did not dare to pause to write.

Du Rong saw my series of fluent movements, and laughed out loud.

At the end, he patted me on the shoulder, browled his eyebrows and smiled, "During the day, I have already copied ninety-nine copies for you, and now there is only one left, so you don't have to be so nervous." ”

“……”

I threw down my pen and lay down on the bed.

Today, I was pulled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and rode a horse for an afternoon, which can be described as exhausting, let alone joking with Du Rong, I don't even want to move a finger now.

After a while, I fell into a deep sleep.

Time is like water, time is like a shuttle, I just settled my mother, and the day has come to the day agreed with Du Rong.

Du Rong disappeared last night, and I knew what he was going to do, so I didn't say anything. By the way, I covered it up for him.

"Master, this is the student's test paper, please take a look at it." I handed the written test paper to Yang Fuzi's hand, and then knelt down and kowtowed to him.

"Have you really figured it out? You're only in your teens now, and you're in the prime of your studies, so wouldn't it be a pity if you left the academy like this? Yang Dezhi still wanted to persuade me, after all, I was also his protégé, but I still shook my head.

"I've figured it out, Master."

"You want to leave because of Du Rong, right?" Yang Dezhi asked me suddenly.

I didn't shake my head, I didn't nod my head.

Yang Dezhi sighed, "He is the young city lord of Qizhou, and he has a bright future in the future, and you ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, the closed door suddenly opened, and a woman with a disheveled hair rushed in, followed by men and women.

"You are ......"

"Shen Qingzhi, you beast, where am I, Jin Ling, sorry for you, why did you kidnap my son? Why are you kidnapping my son!"

Jin Ling rushed up and grabbed my shirt and yelled desperately, her face was full of tears, and her dress was full of dust and dirt, if it weren't for her harsh eyes, I would have seen her so many times, I would almost not have recognized her.

"Why did I kidnap your son, and when did I kidnap your son? You're okay and running to the academy again, what are you crazy about? I'm far away from you, and you're going to trouble me? I grabbed her hand with disgust in my eyes and pulled her away with a hard pull.

Jin Ling saw that she couldn't catch me, so she sat down on the ground and rolled around, howling and crying, "Come and see, come and see, what kind of sin have I done, you just resent me for being a second mother, you can't hurt your own brother, he is only a little bit old, how can you bear it?" ”
