Qi Brothers
"What's the matter, this palace is so lively today?" Chu Ling lazily held the hand of the female officer with him and walked towards the imperial garden, looking at the crowd coming and going, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The female official stopped a palace maid and inquired, only to know that Yuwen Chi had a good breath and coughed up blood. Now the imperial doctors of the entire Tai Hospital are rushing to the imperial study.
Chu Ling chuckled lightly when he heard this, and then took the female official's hand and walked forward.
"He's got it today."
The female officials and the accompanying palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to talk, so they just walked with their heads down.
Shen Huai and Qi Rin walked for more than half a month before they came to the vicinity of the Snow Mountain.
"When you cross this snow-capped mountain, it's time to defend the country." The cloak on Shen Huai's body was blown up by the oncoming cold wind, she stood against the wind, looked at the towering snow-capped mountain, and muttered.
Shu'er and Bu Shao followed behind her, looking at the snow-capped mountain not far away, and they all showed a little yearning.
But how can this snow-capped mountain pass through so easily, although there is already a passage between the two countries. But now it's early spring, and the weather is cold, and the passage between the snow-capped mountains is still covered with a thick layer of ice.
I don't know what method Qi Rin used to hide from the guards at the passage, and the group passed through the snowy mountain safely.
"Miss! Miss! Look!" I don't know what Shu'er saw, and she was so excited.
Shen Huai looked in the direction of Shu'er's finger and saw the withered yellow grass not far away.
This is a great comfort for those who have been walking in the snowy mountains for several days.
"It's here." An unknown light flashed in Shen Huai's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Qi Rin stood behind Shen Huai, looking at her smile, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
In the past few days, Shen Huai has not laughed much because of Shen Duyun's affairs.
Qi Rin has always been worried that Shen Huai's heart is depressed and difficult to let go, and he tries to enlighten her along the way, but with little success.
The group went on some distance, and in the distance they saw a group of men and horses galloping towards them.
The flying dust obscured Shen Huai's vision, and she couldn't see clearly who the people were and how many people there were.
Qi Rin frowned slightly and stopped Shen Huai behind him.
"Ah Huai, you go back to the carriage first. Jingyuan, you go to protect Ah Huai. In just a few seconds, Qi Rin made a decision.
Located on the border between the two countries, the land is barren and not many people live there.
It's very likely that a horse bandit or something.
After all, in recent years, with the exchanges between Weiguo and Beilin, many businessmen have traveled back and forth between the two countries to make profits.
This has attracted many outlaws to choose to come here and take risks.
Shu'er was dragged into the carriage by Shen Huai.
"Little ...... The young lady ...... "Shu'er tried her best to keep herself calm, but the trembling calves betrayed her.
Shen Huai's gaze had been locked tightly on the centaur who was getting closer and closer to them, and he had no time to distract himself from comforting Shu'er.
He only said to her, "If something really happens in a while, you just have to run back." ”
Back is the snow-capped mountains, hiding in the snow-capped mountains, the amount is that no matter how many people they have, it is difficult to find Shu'er.
"That'...... What about you, miss?" Shu'er's voice trembled slightly.
Shen Huai's gaze moved to Qi Rin, who was standing not far away, and she raised her lips slightly, "Where Qi Rin is, I will be there." ”
While the two were talking, the group suddenly stopped more than ten meters away from them.
Qi Rin glanced at the crowd with vigilance, and suddenly his gaze stopped on a man dressed in red in the crowd.
Then Shen Huai looked at Qi Rin in astonishment, threw the saber in his hand, and strode towards those people.
"Qi Yuan." Far away, Shen Huai could see the smile on Qi Rin's face.
"Miss, what is the prince doing?" Shu'er turned her head and asked in shock and fear.
Shen Huai didn't answer Shu'er's question, but asked Shu'er to push her down.
If she hadn't heard it wrong, she heard Qi Rin shouting Qi Yuan.
Isn't this the name of Qi Rin's second brother?
Shu'er pushed Shen Huai forward for some reason.
After a while, Shen Huai saw that the red-clothed man led by the party also turned over and dismounted with a smile on his face, and walked back to this place with Qi Rin shoulder to shoulder.
"Ah Huai, this is Qi Yuan." Rao is Qi Rin's face is paralyzed on weekdays, and when facing people close to him, his face is always a little angry.
Shen Huai could see that Qi Rin was in a very happy mood at the moment.
Shen Huai bent the corners of his lips, looked at the man in red, and introduced himself: "Shen Huai"
"Qi Yuan." Qi Yuan smiled heartily, with a sparse look between his eyebrows and eyes.
Shen Huai glanced at Qi Yuan, then at Qi Rin, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Are these two people brothers in front of them, and why is there such a big difference?
One has a blank face all day long, and the other has a deranged appearance.
Qi Yuan was a little embarrassed by Shen Huai's look, he scratched the back of his head, and said, "Qi Han and Qi Xun are waiting for you in the town ahead."
Qi Rin nodded when he heard this, tidied up in place, and led everyone towards the town not far away.
Compared to Qi Rin, Qi Yuan is a talkative person.
Along the way, Shen Huai never saw his mouth stop.
Qi Rin frowned a few times, but when he saw Shen Huai's relishing appearance, he didn't stop him.
When he finally arrived in the town, Qi Yuan stopped for a while and didn't speak, but went down to find Qi Xun and Qi Han.
Qi Rin suddenly pulled Shen Huai's shoulder, made her look at herself, and then said word by word: "I also know what Qi Yuan said, I will tell you what you want to hear."
By the time Qi Yuan had worked hard to run half the town to find Qi Han and Qi Xun, Shen Huai and Qi Rin had already gotten out of the carriage hand in hand.
"Hey, Miss Shen, why is your face so red?" As soon as Qi Yuan saw Shen Huai, he jumped out with such a sentence.
Shen Huai's smile froze, Qi Rin frowned slightly, and turned sideways to block Qi Yuan's gaze.
This kid hasn't seen him for a few years, and he is undertrained.
Qi Xun secretly pushed Qi Yuan, "Third child, don't say it." ”
If he continued to talk about it, he probably went back with a blue nose and swollen face.
Qi Yuan closed his mouth in hindsight and cautiously looked at Qi Rin with his peripheral vision.
Shen Huai was secretly looking at the three of them when they appeared in front of him.
Qi Xun and Qi Yuan are twins, although they have the same appearance, their clothes are completely different.
Qi Xun was dressed in an indigo robe, and a Pixiu jade pendant carved from black jade was tied around his waist. Compared with Qi Yuan's flamboyant red shirt, he looks much more mature and stable.
And the youngest Qi Han ...... But he is the most like Qi Rin among the three.
Whether it is in appearance or temperament, it is very similar to Qi Rin.
It's just that Qi Rin's temperament between his eyebrows is more mature than Qi Han.
"Big brother, Miss Shen." Qi Han saluted the two of them with a look.
Qi Rin responded, looked at Qi Han and stopped.
On this night, Shen Huai, Qi Rin and others had dinner in the town.
During the banquet, Qi Xun and Qi Yuan kept chattering to Shen Huai about the interesting stories of Qi Rin's childhood and the local customs of Weiguo.
They were worried that Shen Huai would not be able to get used to the customs of the country in a short period of time.
Compared with his two brothers, Qi Han always looked at Qi Rin, and keeping silent was Jin's good character.
Although he was in a foreign land, Shen Huai did not feel half uncomfortable, on the contrary, he also felt a kind of ironing that he had never experienced in Beilin.
This night, Shen Huai smiled very happily.
Even Shu'er and Bu Shao, who were sitting on the side, were also provoked by Qi Xun and Qi Yuan's brothers.
Qi Rin glanced at his second and third brothers with a little relief. These two are finally somewhat useful.
Near the end of the banquet, Qi Rin was stopped by Qi Han, and the two went out to talk for a while.
"Big brother." After Qi Han called Qi Rin, he stared at Qi Rin with his deep eyes.
Qi Rin glanced at him, "What's the matter?"
"You shouldn't have chosen to come back at this time." Qi Han left this sentence without a thought, and after saluting Qi Rin again, he turned around and entered the house.
Qi Rin looked at his departing back, his eyebrows furrowed.
When he went back to the room to rest, Qi Rin was silent and didn't speak, and what Qi Han said to him kept flashing in his mind.
Qi Rin was sure that Qi Han would not harm him, but the meaning of his words made Qi Rin puzzled.
"Qi Rin, Qi Rin." Shen Huai saw that Qi Rin, who was walking beside her, had been in an absent-minded state, and couldn't help shouting.
Qi Rin came back to his senses and lowered his head to look at Shen Huai.
"But what happened?"
Shen Huai knew that Qi Rin rarely thought about something so engrossedly.
Qi Rin hesitated for a while, but still told Shen Huai what Qi Han had just said to him during the banquet.
Shen Huai also frowned after hearing this, "Qi Han, ...... Has it always been like this?"
During the banquet just now, the feeling that Qi Han gave her was completely different from the feeling that Qi Rin gave her.
If Qi Rin is a pool of calm and waveless pool water, then Qi Han is a pool of stagnant water.
From start to finish, lifeless.
Qi Rin shook his head, "Do you remember the story I told you?"
Shen Huai bowed.
Qi Rin's words were a little painful, "Although the fourth brother's temperament was relatively dull in the past, it was not as good as it is now. I thought that after all these years, his heart knot would slowly unravel. ”
Qi Rin paused, "It's just that now it seems that I was wrong." ”
In the early years, although Qi Han was little talkative and boring, he still had some popularity. It's like this, except for nesting in his own temple to study his own affairs, he is forced by the second elder to go out and wander around like a walking corpse.
"How's the investigation going?" In the dim candlelight, a face with an eight-point resemblance to Qi Rin loomed.
"Back to Your Highness, our people are still investigating."
Qi Han raised his head when he heard this, looked at the subordinates standing in front of him, and said word by word: "Don't let my eldest brother find out."
