Beiyue is a small country located in the northwest of Chiyan.

According to Chiyan historical records, a hundred years ago, Xuanyang, the fourth son of Xuanheng, the founder of Chiyan, was enshrined here. After the collapse of Xuan Heng, Xuan Yang did not want to be a minister, so he recruited troops to start a rebellion and established himself as the king, and since then, he has been in long-term confrontation with the Chiyan Dynasty.

Decades later, Xuan Wen, the son of Xuan Yang, succeeded to the throne of Beiyue.

The long-term chaotic war left Beiyue no longer had the manpower and financial resources to compete with Chiyan. At that time, Emperor Yan Xuancang made great efforts to recover Beiyue in one fell swoop, Xuancang was benevolent, and thought that it was the same bloodline, so he let Xuanwen continue to be the king, but Beiyue has since become a subsidiary country of Chiyan.

The Beiyue Mountains crisscross it, so it is known as the "Mountain Country". Therefore, it is not uncommon for a tea stall, a wine shop, or an inn to appear under a certain mountainous mountain.

At this time, a handsome man sat on the tea stall, only to see a white dress, green silk with a hosta erected high. Looking up, this place is surrounded by stone mountains on three sides, although not high, but a little steep, and the mountains are full of lush trees; To the southwest is a crystal clear stream of water, with daylight shining on the water, sparkling from afar.

The man couldn't help but admire the beauty of the scenery in his heart.

"Guest, here comes your tea."

The voice of the tea stall guy suddenly drew the man's gaze, and he hurriedly saluted the man: "Thank you." ”

The man nodded to him, and looked up at him, his eyes falling on the thing at his waist, and he already knew a little bit of his identity.

The children of the family above Kyushu have very good etiquette norms, no matter whether they are men or women, no matter where they are, the etiquette will never be abolished. There is also a favorite jade ornament, which not only symbolizes status, but also is an extreme embodiment of vassal elegance.

"Little brother, I'll ask you about it." The man suddenly grabbed the guy who turned to leave.

The guy turned around, leaned down and greeted him with a smile: "Guest officer, please speak." ”

"I don't know if you've heard where the army led by the Six Princes of Chiyan is?"

After hearing this, the man suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said proudly: "His Royal Highness King Ling is extremely brave, he has just won a battle recently, which has greatly demoralized the people in the western corner, and the Xuanjia army led by His Royal Highness is stationed in Ruofeng City at this time. As he spoke, he pointed his hand forward, "It will take more than a day to reach the horse." ”

When the man heard this, he laughed and thanked his fellow man.

The guy suddenly asked suspiciously: "Now that there are few places to live, everyone is running out, why are you still going to dangerous places?" ”

"Join the army." The man made up a random reason.

"Join the army?" The guy glanced him up and down, and saw that he was thin and weak, and he sighed in his heart: "So thin, I'm afraid I can't even hold the sword, gun, sword and halberd tightly, but I want to join the army to kill the enemy to protect the family and defend the country, respectable, respectable." There was more admiration in his heart.

"Questions?" The man noticed that the guy had been staring at him, a little unnatural.

"No, no." The man hurriedly smiled at the man, saluted respectfully, and then turned to get busy with his work.

At this time, the man drank the tea in the bowl, and his heart was overjoyed, after so many days, he finally had one more day to see Xuan Qi.

This man is Ji Qianning, who is dressed as a man, what is the matter that made her go to Beiyue from Chiyan to Beiyue?

It turned out that since her uncle left, under her reconciliation and Bai Yi's awakening, Bai Yi and Nangong Ning finally lifted the mustard in their hearts, she couldn't bear to disturb their hard-won happy life, stayed in Lingwang's Mansion, and had nothing to do all day long, although there was an occasional companionship between Zhi'er and Princess Changle, but she finally felt bored, plus there had been no news from the front line, she was worried about Xuanqi, so she simply left a letter to inform everyone of her whereabouts, put on a man's clothes, one person and one horse, and traveled thousands of miles to Beiyue, Suddenly saw a tea stall, she stopped to rest, fed the horses, and inquired about Xuan Qi's location by the way.

After two bowls of tea, she threw down the silver coins and got up to lead the horse.

The owner of the tea stall, who had been silent beside him, suddenly took a few steps forward and shouted at Ji Qianning: "Girl, the road ahead is dangerous, be more careful." "A boss who has been through the world is kind enough to advise passers-by.

"Thank you." Ji Qianning turned around conditionally, saluted and thanked the boss, and then stepped on the horse and ran towards the northern road.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped her horse, turned to look at the tea stall, and saw that the boss was still smiling at her, she touched the erected bun suspiciously, looked down at the clothes on her body, and then touched the unusually flat chest that had been tied, and said to herself: "That's right, why is it okay for her to pretend to be a man, and I am always recognized?" ”

She shook her head helplessly, and walked in the direction of Ruofeng City, speeding away.

……

If the wind, the surrounding city is all mountains, there is a river that hits the city and passes through, and flows endlessly to the south, this river, the people of Beiyue call it Jinxi. The army led by Xuan Qi was stationed here.

Since the day before the battle, they won the battle and captured Jinguan City, and the morale of the army is high.

At midnight, Xuan Qi, who was resting on the couch in the tent, tossed and turned, had no intention of sleeping, simply got up, and groped in the dark night to put on a black regular dress and sit on the couch. He took out the half of the auspicious cloud jade pendant in his arms, stroked it gently, and then pressed it on his chest, the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose, and asked again and again in his heart: "Ning'er, are you okay?" ”

He raised his eyes and looked out the window, but there was no trace of moonlight, but it was unusually bright, and he suddenly felt a little cold, but today, it was surprisingly cold.

He lit the candle in the tent, picked up the big hat and draped it on his body, pushed open the door, a chill came to his face, at a glance, the earth was plain white, the sky was floating with heavy snow, the sky was still clear in the daytime, but at this time it was such a scene, a cold spring.

Xuan Qi raised his eyebrows, in the face of such a beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but sweep away the fatigue caused by the war, he immediately called Su Wei, and set a table in front of the door to warm wine, enjoy the snow, drink, and pass away the bitterness in his heart.

The bright earth, the clear wine, the clear state of mind......

He couldn't help but get up, pacing back and forth, while chanting the "Hidden Poem" that was thinking about the left side of the previous direction: "The staff strategy recruits hermits, the wilderness crosses the ancient and modern, the snow stops in the shade, and the Danbao Yaoyang forest ......"

Xuan Qi suddenly thought that there was a Furong Mountain fifty miles south of Jinxi, and Ruan Lao, his grandfather's old friend and a famous luthier master in Kyushu, lived in seclusion, so he went to visit by boat accompanied by Su Wei on a whim.

Out of the city, the banks of the Jinjiang River are all high mountains, at a glance, the shore is white, but the river is scattered with mist, the smoke waves are thousands of miles, the leaves reflect the snow light, the river wind shakes the reeds that have not yet faded the yellow meaning, the willow bank Luwan, the blue sky is clear and the Chu River is empty. Going down the river, the cold wind blew the ink-colored ribbon of Xuanqi's hair, and he snuggled quietly on the lonely canopy, counting the sand gulls that had no time to hide from the cold in the distance.

When he arrived at the foot of Furong Mountain, it was already early in the morning, braving the heavy snow, withstanding the biting cold wind, taking a flat boat, and finally came to Ruan Laomen, but he did not knock on the door to visit, but turned the bow of the ship and returned to Ruofeng City.

Su Wei asked puzzledly: "Master, I finally came to Mr. Ruan's door after taking a boat overnight, why don't you see it and go back?" ”

Xuan Qi's face was calm, but his heart was full of joy: "This king took advantage of the excitement and returned with all the excitement, why do you have to see Mr. Ruan?" Let's row, it's time to take care of military affairs. ”

Su Wei scratched his head and had no choice but to do so.

Above this Kyushu, the children of the big family advocate the etiquette code, of course, there are some children of the family who pay attention to the style and bones, showing an open-minded attitude and a free and easy life realm, some people are extremely poor all their lives, and what they pursue is nothing more than this.

At noon, Xuan Qi, who had returned to Ruofeng City, finished handling military affairs, and leaned on the couch to rest, when suddenly, he was awakened by the noise outside the account, and he did not get up, listening carefully to the movements outside the account.

"What?" It's the voice of Eleven.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have something important to tell King Ling." General Lu Shen?

"Brother Wang is resting, and he has something to report to this king."

"His Royal Highness, his subordinates were patrolling outside the city, and suddenly saw a woman pretending to be a man sneaking outside the city, and I was afraid that it would be a meticulous work, so I brought it to ask King Ling for interrogation."

"General Lu Shen has worked hard, take off his mask and let this king take a look."

"Yes."

"Sister-in-law."

After a while, Xuan Qi suddenly heard Eleven shout in disbelief, "Sister-in-law Wang", Xuan Qi's heart suddenly burst out, he got up and walked quickly to the outside of the account, and when he saw the embarrassed woman, his expression became even more cold, and he quickly reached out and pulled out the ink hairpin on his head, and threw it out, knocking down the sword that Lu Shen put on the woman's neck, and the ink hairpin was broken and scattered on the ground.

He flew up to the woman and untied the rope that bound her a few times, there was a trace of distress in his eyes, and he was even more excited: "Ning'er, you ......" He took her into his arms, tightly, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

When General Lu saw this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "My subordinates have eyes but no beads, and I don't know the identity of the girl, please punish Your Highness." ”

Xuan Qi let go of Ji Qianning, held her hand tightly, turned around, and looked at General Lu Shen who was kneeling on the ground with a cold expression: "Those who don't know are not guilty, Lu Shen will be loyal to his duties, but he should be rewarded, go and get it." ”

After speaking, he ignored everyone, and pulled Ji Qianning straight into the account.

Xuan Qi took Ji Qianning to sit on the couch, he squatted in front of her, held her hands tightly, and was happy with a slight reproach: "Let you stay in the mansion, why are you disobedient?" ”

Ji Qianning laughed slyly: "I said that I happened to pass by, are you credible?" ”

Xuan Qi raised his hand and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Believe, I believe everything you say." ”

Ji Qianning raised her head a little proudly.

Xuan Qi suddenly jokingly asked, "By the way, why did you make such a mess and be tied up by General Lu Shen?" After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.

"Is this laughing at me?" Ji Qianning pretended to be angry, and held Xuan Qi's hand hard, grinning in pain, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Hmph." She pretended to be angry and her face was a little cute, "In order to find you as soon as possible, I braved the snow last night, and I didn't want to be stopped by your Lu Shen general as soon as I arrived outside the city, I was afraid that if I resisted, I would hurt your subordinates, and I thought that I would see you after all, so I let him escort me." ”

Xuan Qi saw her talking nonsense seriously, unwilling to poke it, and held back a smile: "Oh, I see." Suddenly, seeing the embarrassment on her body, I remembered that a woman was alone, who traveled thousands of miles without fear of hardships and dangers, and even braved the snow to move forward, just to come to him, and was distressed for a while, and looked at her eyes affectionately: "Ning'er, you have suffered." ”

Ji Qianning's eyes were a little red, and she shook her head with a smile.

"I'm hungry, I'll get people ready to eat." Xuan Qi looked doting.

Ji Qianning shook her head and said with some grievances: "I'm tired after a day's journey, and I just want to wash up and sleep well at the moment." ”

"I'll arrange it."

"And." Ji Qianning smiled at him embarrassedly, "My outfit fell outside the city." ”

Xuan Qi touched her head with a smile, got up and walked out of the account, and soon brought her suit, at this time, he had ordered the guards to prepare hot water.

"Ning'er, you can freshen up with peace of mind, rest on this couch afterwards, cover the quilt, be careful of catching a cold, I'll go first."

Seeing that Ji Qianning nodded obediently, he walked out of the account with a smile on his face.
