Yuan Qing stood in the middle of the field, bright and confident.

My head went blank.

Perhaps, there will always be a moment in your life when you have to make a choice that is not your own! If Yuan Qing wins the first place, then we must be separated, which is the last thing I want in my life. However, I don't want him to lose the election. In my heart, he has always been the best!

I looked at him blankly, as he walked resolutely towards the shooting range, but in just a few dozen steps, I wanted to see his whole life. I smell death. I'm scared!

There were dozens of people who saw the selection, and there were constantly people on the field who were defeated, some were lost, and some shouted......

Yuan Qing received a round of applause, he won!

I burst into tears.

As if he had a heart, Yuan Qing looked at me and made a gesture to signal me to be calm. He thought I was crying with joy.

Standing next to King Ning Yuan, the man in dark green clothes spoke, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Yuan Qing!" Yuan Qing looked at the man, his eyes burning.

The man frowned and said, "In front of the prince, you have to call your subordinates!" You are guilty! ”

"I ......" Yuan Qing was a little at a loss.

"It doesn't matter." King Ning Yuan waved his hand, and his voice was also cold, as if it came from a distant valley.

The man nodded yes. turned to Yuan Qing again: "From today on, you are the prince's person, and you obey the call in everything." But it is easy not to show up, and can only protect the prince in the dark. One can not relax, everyone dares to hurt the prince, and if necessary, they can release arrows from the shadows. Do you understand? ”

"My subordinates understand!" The fifteen-year-old boy stood with a bow. This young man, my younger brother, who said that he would protect me, seemed to understand the true meaning of parting for a moment.

"Yuan Qing!" I walked out of the line. The man next to Cheng Hao instinctively put his hand on the satchel.

I looked at my brother, there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and I raised my hand to help him wipe it off.

He's already a lot taller than me. He looked at me with reluctance and guilt in his eyes.

I smiled and said to him, "Daddy will be proud of you!" ”

After speaking, I turned around, Ningyuan Wang Chenghao was in front of me, as long as I stepped a few steps forward, I could stand in front of him. At this moment, I saw him, his eyes glowing in the midday sun with a deep purple glow. I shuddered.

I staggered his eyes, ignored the gesture of the king's steward to signal me to retreat, summoned all the courage in my life, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, if you just want my brother to be a secret guard, then he may not be here. Not only is he a good hiter, but his riding skills are also top-notch, and if you test his art of war, he won't let you down! ”

"You mean, he's a general?" There seemed to be a hint of mockery in Cheng Hao's tone.

I was stunned, but I still stubbornly responded: "That's right! ”

Cheng Hao looked at me lightly, and after a long time, I felt the uneasiness of Yuan Qing beside me.

Without waiting for him to speak, Cheng Hao suddenly spoke: "However, I only need a secret guard." His voice was crystal clear.

The man in dark green clothes spoke: "Yuan Qing, you still have a sister, since you are concerned, then it should not be suitable to be a secret guard." Or, you have to make an agreement with your sister that you can only see each other during the rest of the day. But you should also know that the rest period of the dark guard can only be determined by the prince. ”

Yuan Qing was a little anxious, and I saw that he looked at me with regret but more eagerness.

Perhaps, it's time to separate.

No one in this world will be with you for the rest of your life. Even if it's a close relative.

Besides, that's what he wants to do.

King Ning Yuan gave Yuan Qing a day. On the second day, someone will come to take over his task.

"Why, Fulan Yuan is not his, why should he decide the fate of others?" Under the locust tree in the yard, I was angry.

The locust trees are falling with locust catkins, and there is no resentment.

"Sister, Fulan Yuan is his. It's always been his. "Yuan Qingdao.

I was stunned. I didn't expect this, I never knew that Fulan Yuan still has an owner! I thought we were our own, free. No wonder Fulan Yuan has arranged everything so meticulously, which is not something that the state government can do.

It turned out that it was King Ningyuan! It turns out that we are just slaves to him, ready to meet when needed.

If we have no father or mother, we have no concerns, so we can better be controlled by Him. Oh, what a calculation!

Yuan Qing told me that Cheng Hao began to fight at the age of fourteen, he was stationed in Beiguan for many years, brave and good at fighting, and was a genius in soldiers, very appreciated by the lord of the country, at the age of seventeen, he was crowned the king of Ningyuan, and governed Ningyuan, which was the closest state to the royal city, which undoubtedly handed over the responsibility of guarding Kyoto to him. But when he was twenty years old, he came back from a victory, but on the way back to China, he was attacked by the enemy army who surrendered, and none of the 30,000 soldiers survived, and he also lost his legs in that battle. From then on, it will be difficult to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Strangely, instead of blaming him, the lord of the kingdom still let him control the army. It is rumored that there was a spy in that war, and since ancient times, for the sake of royal power, it is not uncommon for brothers to fight against each other. But for three years, it has not been detected. From then on, it was gone.

The change of royal power is deceitful. I thought that we would be far away from these in this wild place, but I didn't expect that from the beginning, we were destined to become accomplices!

"So Yuan Qing, have you thought about it?"

"Sister, King Ningyuan is young, when Mr. told us his story, I longed for him, and now although he has broken his legs, you see, he has not changed his mood at that time, his eyes are clear, and he is decisive in killing, sister, I am sure that he is the master I am looking for!" The more the young man in front of him spoke, the more excited he became, and in the candlelight, his face turned red, as if he had seen a far future, and his eyebrows were full of unpaid ambitions!

Why don't I know what he said? The lord of the country is old, with six sons under his knees, and the eldest prince married the princess of a neighboring country in his early years, despite the opposition of the lord, and at this time he was wary of the era of annexation by other countries, which undoubtedly led the wolf into the house.

After the eldest prince got married, he had no intention of taking the throne, and lived in seclusion in Chuzhou with his wife and children, and was crowned an idle king of Nanshan.

The third prince and the fourth prince are of the same age, like to write poems and eulogies, immerse themselves in the pile of beauties every day, have no merit to the country, and have not been crowned kings.

However, the second and fifth princes were quite scheming, but they had no experience in warfare.

Thinking about it this way, this Ningyuan Wang Chenghao is really a master.

"It's just, sister, I can't protect you anymore, you have to be good here, and I'll come back to pick you up!" Yuan Qing looked ashamed.

I smiled and said, "You can go with confidence, you won the first place today, and my sister is proud of you." Over the years, I've also learned some skills, so you don't have to worry. ”

Yuan Qing pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

I looked at Yuan Qing, and I couldn't put it into words. That's right, he's my younger brother. Today, he is going to choose his life.

I smiled at him, holding his hand tightly, and the young man's bright face was also full of reluctance: "Yuanqing, you want to be safe." ”

When I returned to my room, I couldn't hold back any longer, and I squatted on the ground with my face covered and cried silently. Father, mother, Yuan Qing and I are going to be separated, and since then in this troubled world, we can only live separately......

The night was quiet. The locust flowers fell and rustled on the edge of the window. The two girls in the same room were already asleep and snoring softly evenly. Not wanting to wake them, I took off my shoes, stepped on the ground that was still a little cold in April, wearing only my socks, and quietly packed up a few clothes.

Sleepless nights.

On the second day, before dawn, Yuan Qing came to say goodbye to me with a simple bag. I stood under the locust tree at the door, looking at him in a black suit, and gradually moving away. He waved at me at the first glimmer of light on the horizon. I watched him ride away with the comers, and remembered that eight years ago, I also watched Mu Zixiao fade away in the afterglow. This time I separated from Yuan Qing, and it was three years after we met again.

"Jinse." It's Sister Yu.

I quickly pushed back the tears that were about to flow. Turning around and smiling at her, God knows how hard I laughed.

"Jinse, are you going to leave too?" Sister Yu's face was calm, and her dark eyes looked at me deeply, as if she could see through everything.

It turned out that he couldn't hide it from her.

Sister Yu raised her eyes and looked at the rising sun: "Each of us wants to seek what we want to get, some people have the world in mind, some people pay attention to feelings, some people are only greedy for temporary glory, some people give up their small family for everyone, and some people are willing to live a miserable life for their love...... Everyone has their own persistence and stubbornness, and we are all wrong,"

Sister Yu turned to look at me, her hair flying, "Jinse, do you know what you're looking for?" Like the wind blowing in her ears, her voice was very soft and soft.

My eyes flashed back to the same bright eyes from eight years ago, and he smiled and shoved a piece of warm black jade into my hand. He said he wouldn't forget me.

I looked at Sister Yu and nodded firmly. That piece of black jade is in my hand at the moment.

The corners of Sister Yu's lips raised slightly, and she raised her hand to brush away the broken hair in my ear: "I used to be the same as you......" She was slightly distracted, and there seemed to be an invisible past hidden in her eyes, "However, I hope you are different from me......"

The sun poured all its rays into everything without hesitation, and the world warmed up.

It was in such an early morning, after my younger brother Yuanqing had chosen to follow his own path, that I also packed a simple bag, took a bow and arrows, rode a red pony, and left Fulan Garden, where I had lived for eight years.

Sister Yu, Steward Wang, and my friends all came to see me off. Steward Wang took me by the hand and sent me out as he took me into Fulan Yuan eight years ago, and Sister Yu still looked at me quietly, with hope and sorrow...... I turned around and waved at them, then got on my horse and walked away without hesitation.

Steward Wang told me that Mu Zixiao is now in Kyoto, and now he is already a squire in the military department.

I walked through the tall green grass in front of the door, and the locust catkins were flying all over the sky.

The road ahead is the reckless mountains, and on the other side of the mountain is Ningyuan Prefecture.

The little red horse under my crotch, ordinary and thin, can it cross the mountains, accompany me through Ningyuan, and reach Kyoto?
