The twilight is dreary, and the distant mountains are like daisies.

The cold wind is in the bones, and I am worried.

Xuan Qi smoothed the messy green silk in his arms and hugged her tighter.

Su Wei came, put on a windbreaker for him, and whispered: "Master, fortunately, the brothers will prepare tents and food immediately. The night wind is cold, and the master is invited to enter the account. ”

Xuan Qi listened, picked up the person in his arms, took two steps forward and suddenly stopped, his legs became numb from sitting for a long time, and he stood there waiting for him to recover. After a long time, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Where is the child?" ”

"Master Qiqi, His Royal Highness and Gongzi Yi have already rested in the tent."

Xuan Qi nodded and walked straight to the tent, with Su Wei following behind. When Xuan Qi gently put down the person in his arms, Su Wei handed him the blanket, and he took it and gently covered her, for fear of disturbing her. Su Wei glanced at his master and retreated with interest.

He kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then walked out of the tent and looked at the bright moon in the sky to relieve the sorrow in his heart.

After a while, Yi Shuihan came to his side, and the two were speechless, so they stood like that for a long time.

"Forgive me for being clumsy before, but I didn't know the identity of the six princes." Yi Shuihan looked into his eyes and was the first to break the silence.

"Identity, hehe, with identity comes shackles, it's not as comfortable as an ordinary person." Xuan Qi was not surprised that he had discovered his identity.

"But how many people in the world want your identity? Want to have the power and status of you? ”

"What about having a position of power? In a high position, he naturally bears more than ordinary people. How many people covet what you have, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will die for no reason, and if you don't commit crimes, people will attack you. Xuan Qi closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Yi Shuihan took two steps forward and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, the people in the royal family are lonely after all.

Xuan Qi looked at Yi Shuihan and nodded at him: "Brother Yi, I've bothered you." ”

"......" Yi Shuihan waved his hand, and suddenly grinned at the corners of his mouth, "Brother Su, the sixth prince, no, it doesn't matter if you are a prince or not, you still call Brother Su to be smooth." ”

Xuan Qi nodded at him.

Yi Shuihan continued: "Brother Su, from the time you saved my life, I swore that if there is a useful place in the future, I will swear to die. ”

Xuan Qi was amused by his serious appearance: "When did I save you?" ”

"Under the sword of the people in the west corner."

Xuan Qi suddenly realized: "Oh. ”

"Oh? Having said so much, isn't Brother Su half moved? Yi Shuihan looked incredulous.

"Not impressed."

Yi Shuihan listened, stroked his forehead and sighed.

Su Wei suddenly came to the two of them, and his tone was hurried: "Master, there is a sound of horses' hooves in the southeast. ”

"All on alert." Xuan Qi's face was fierce.

The guards in the tent quickly ran out, took their positions, drew their blades, and waited for them. In the night, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and several figures could be vaguely seen.

"Woo ......" With the long roar of the horse, the uninvited guest was stopped.

"Fellow with the Son."

"Strong Xuanjia."

"Master, your own people." Su Wei said happily.

The six people who galloped in the night got off their horses and came to Xuan Qi's side.

"Riding Lang will see Su Yi to His Highness." The man who called himself Su Yi was sturdy, and his face was quite heroic, and the two guards standing behind him saluted with him.

Xuan Qi stepped forward to help him up, with a relieved face: "It's good to come." ”

Su Wei looked happy and hurriedly signaled to Su Yi.

"I've seen the Six Princes." Suddenly, a female voice came, and when she looked closely, it was Chu Duxue and Lan Xin. On the same day, Xuan Qi left Su Yi and Lan Xin to wait for him in Yangcheng, not long ago, Su Yi was ordered to come to answer, Chu Duxue learned the news, worried about Ji Qianning's safety, so she took an entourage arranged by Ji Qianmu for her, and ran all the way here with Lan Xin and Su Yi and others.

"Madame, you're here too." Xuan Qi walked up to Chu Duxue and saluted her.

Chu Duxue saluted him back, and then asked, "Why don't you see Ah Ning's figure?" ”

Hearing this, Xuan Qi felt guilty in his heart: "Ning'er, she ......" was speechless for a while, "Still in a coma." ”

"Why is Miss unconscious?" Lan Xin was excited for a moment and asked.

"Lan Xin, don't be unreasonable." Chu Duxue scolded.

Lan Xin realized that she was rude and saluted Xuan Qi to make amends.

"Ning'er has not been injured, and it is fine, just wait for her to wake up, I will explain it in detail in a moment, she is in the tent, you can go to see her." After he finished speaking, he tried to squeeze out a little smile, very rusty.

Chu Duxue smiled in return, saluted him, and quickly walked towards the tent.

After the two left, Su Yi saluted again and said, "Master, ......" suddenly stopped talking and glanced at Yi Shuihan behind Xuan Qi.

Yi Shui retreated with interest, he, an outsider, was indeed not suitable to be present at this moment.

The night breeze is in the bones, but the Zheng Zheng man is not afraid of the cold and resolutely stands in the cold wind. Su Yi reported to Xuan Qi the information he had collected, and after listening to it, Xuan Qi turned his back and closed his eyes, thinking to himself: In addition to Daze, the teams of Chiyan, Huaisong, and Southern Zhou envoys who went to congratulate him were all invaded on a small scale, and this Daxin King was afraid that he was tempting. Except for a little scruple about Huai Song, Chi Yan and Nan Zhou must have become their "prey", and the "round-up" has just begun. He never thought that for the sake of a woman, Daxin could use two hundred iron horses, everything was a disguise, and a scene with heavy ink and color was estimated to be about to start.

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and asked, "What's going on over there General Ji?" ”

"Back to His Highness, General Ji ordered his men to come with men and horses to meet His Highness and Miss Ji, and now they are on the way."

"Very good." Xuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, Nanzhou was thousands of miles away, and at this moment, only Daze could be relied on.

Look up, the galaxy turns.

In the middle of the night, Ji Qianning woke up, and everyone was happy, but she didn't have half a reflection of what happened during the day. Xuan Qi looked at the three people in the tent, sometimes hugging each other and crying, sometimes laughing, he stood silently in the distance, smiling in the cold wind.

In order to break the sadness of a long absence, Lan Xin told her young lady that when she came, she found that there was a high ground not far from here, and the magic was that the bottom of the high ground was unfathomable, and from a distance, the trees were thick, the grass was abundant, and a rapids flowed from the foot of the mountain, which was in stark contrast to the desert opposite. Ji Qianning smiled far-fetchedly, at this time she was not interested in anything, and she was embarrassed to brush Lan'er's heart.

The eastern sky was a little brighter, Chu Duxue and Lan Xin rested in the tent one after another, Ji Qianning at this time had no sleep, she vaguely felt that she had forgotten something, got up and meditated for a long time, simply dressed neatly, and walked out of the big tent for a while before stopping, and there was a vast land in front of her.

The sun leaps over the distant horizon, everything is bathed in the blessing of the sun god, she looks up, lets the sun pour down on her face, feels a trace of warmth, she closes her eyes and enjoys it. After a long time, the silence was broken by a sudden noise, and she listened attentively, suddenly lifted the hem of her skirt, and ran in the direction of the camp.

From a distance, she saw a team of about three or four hundred people confronting Xuan Qi and his party, and in front of the most conspicuous one, a familiar figure. Stop, all kinds of tastes come to mind, and scenes of the past are swirling in front of me: a young man dressed in white; Ear-turning, touching piano sound; On the banks of the Lanluo River, scorching dazzling peach blossoms; that one, a big red wedding dress made by himself; And the promise that she swore to, in the end, was just a dream she hoped for, and when the dream was broken, she woke up and finally looked ahead of nothingness.

She strode forward with her head held high, dancing in the wind in a red dress.

"Ning'er, don't come here." Xuan Qi saw her suddenly appear, shouted to stop her, and saw the palm prints on her face that still hadn't faded, and his eyes were full of distress.

She smiled at him, raised her eyes, took a deep breath and continued to move forward, sooner or later she had to face it.

"Third Prince, didn't you ever think that you would be so ruthless, and you would not stop until I was in the Jedi, and not remember a trace of the past?" Ji Qianning's tone was mocking.

In her eyes, the love for him had long since dissipated, and Ling Chengzhi immediately looked at her gaze, with all kinds of feelings in his heart, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound, only the eyebrows were wrinkled together.

Yan Ji, who was beside Ling Chengzhi, staggered, clutched her chest and roared: "Slut, it's not just you, they ......" waved his horsewhip and pointed at Xuan Qi and the others, "Don't even think about leaving?" ”

"Hugh is presumptuous." Ling Chengzhi reprimanded angrily, showing extreme dissatisfaction with Yan Ji's self-assertion.

"I'm ......" Yan Ji glared at Ji Qianning dissatisfied.

Ji Qianning ignored Yan Ji and went straight to Ling Chengzhi's gaze: "What you want is me, don't do other people's business, let them go." At this time, she also thought that Ling Chengzhi was here for her, and it was he and her who affected Xuan Qi, and she felt guilty in her heart.

Xuan Qi hurriedly walked forward, protected Ji Qianning behind him, and looked at the person on the horse with cold eyes. Ji Qianning looked at his left shoulder, and the blood oozing out of Xuanyi was faintly visible, she felt a little distressed, and at the same time, she felt inexplicably at ease.

When Ling Chengzhi saw the scene in front of him, a nameless fire arose in his heart, and his brows furrowed even tighter. "I will make sure you leave safely, but what this king wants is Xuanqi, the sixth prince of Chiyan."

"Gestures." Ji Qianning pushed away Xuan Qi and stood in front, "What's the matter with the six princes, if that's the case, why don't you let us leave together." ”

Ling Chengzhi saw her protecting him, and his anger was even greater: "I just want him." ”

"Then you try." Xuan Qi protected Ji Qianning tightly behind him, his eyes facing each other, each with anger.

Ling Chengzhi waved his hand, and the iron horse behind him rushed forward instantly, Xuan Qi and the others struggled to meet each other, and for a while, the soldiers were facing each other, the sound of horses roaring, the sound of weapons colliding, the sound of people's shouts accompanied by the whistling wind, and the sky was dark.

Ji Qianning watched one by one fall to the ground, helpless, suddenly a scimitar fell in front of her feet, she quickly dodged back, suddenly her eyes lit up, taking advantage of Xuan Qi's unpreparedness, she bent down to pick it up against her neck, and shouted: "Stop." She wants to gamble, betting that Ling Chengzhi still has a trace of affection for her. But this trick is too risky, success and failure, but in an instant, she can only pray to God to have a trace of favor for her.

Xuan Qi and Ling Chengzhi stopped everyone separately and looked at her nervously.

"Let us go together." Ji Qianning took a few steps forward and looked at Ling Chengzhi, "Otherwise, what you will see in a moment will be a cold corpse." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Chu Duxue and Lan Xin cried out. Xuan Qi stepped forward and tried to snatch the knife. She took a few steps back and shook her head at him, a trace of blood oozed from her neck, Xuan Qi was distressed, so she had to stop moving.

Ling Chengzhi grabbed the reins, leaned forward, and thin beads appeared on his head. Looking at her determined eyes, he closed his eyes, and for a moment, his Adam's apple moved. "Let them go." There was inexplicable sadness in his tone.

"Really?" Ji Qianning was delighted, she won the bet, but suddenly, she couldn't say what she felt in her heart.

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase."

"Thank you to the third prince, and there will be no time in the future." She took one last look at him and walked away.

Ling Chengzhi's heart ached suddenly, and he suddenly missed the girl who called him Chengzhi's brother with eyes full of love.

Looking at the backs of the group as they drifted away, Yan Ji suddenly spoke: "Prince, don't let them go." ”

"When will the king's words be stopped?"

"But?"

"No, but."

Yan Ji gritted her teeth, her eyes were full of hatred, she hated Ji Qianning, it was because of her that the third prince would become so indecisive, she would not let her leave alive, even if she disobeyed the order, she must not let anyone affect the prince's great cause, only she can be the person in the prince's heart. So, with all her might, she picked up the crossbow.

"Xiao Ning beware." Before Ling Chengzhi's words fell, a sharp arrow whistled past.

"Slut, die." Ling Chengzhi's face became hideous, he got up, kicked Yan Ji in the stomach, and then jumped off the horse and ran in the direction of Ji Qianning.

"Haha, Ji Qianning, you can't escape after all." The corners of her mouth, which were kicked off the horse, spilled blood from the corners of her mouth, and she held back the pain and smiled bitterly.

The moment the arrow flew, he instinctively protected her in front of her, holding the whistling arrow with all his might, the new wound had not healed, but he didn't want to use too much force and held up the old wound, as soon as his hand was released, the arrow shot through the palm of his hand and into his chest, he spit out a large mouthful of black blood, and staggered. Ji Qianning hugged him and slowly fell to the ground with him.

He took out an auspicious cloud-shaped jade pendant from his arms, took her hand and put it on it, and held her hand tightly, the blood gushing out perfectly matched her red clothes.

"Ning'er, this red outfit is so good-looking."

She clenched the jade pendant and couldn't cry.

In a trance, he saw the cherry blossoms blooming in March, the breeze was blowing, the petals were flying all over the sky, and the little girl in white was dancing, turning, dancing, turning lightly in the world of flowers...... He was like that cherry blossom, with her. At the moment of the dance, she will eventually be crushed into dust, but for her sake, she is willing.

I have no regrets about seeing her again in this life.
