"The last general thinks that General Ye was too soft-hearted back then, so much so that he ......"

"Who gave you the guts!" Hou Shizi of Gou Wu suddenly spoke out to stop Xiong Lan from talking any further, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

What's the situation? Ying Yue was a little puzzled.

Xiong Lan just glanced at him lightly, paused, and seeing that Liu Xuan didn't react, he continued: "General Ye has been fighting all his life, and he has fought a hundred and ten battles, big and small, and has not tasted a single defeat, but he has finally been defeated in this matter. ”

Gou Wu Hou Shizi's face was a little pale, as if he desperately didn't want to hear what Xiong Lan said next.

"Hou Qiancheng, the city is a hundred miles; Gong Wan Cheng, the city is 500 miles. Lead the troops to the frontier and be the king of diligence in wartime. The Son of Heaven holds a sword to guard the center, and the sword is pointed at, and the princes are oriented. This was General Ye's original purpose. But for thousands of years, after several troubled times, the Son of Heaven lost his weight, the princes were in charge of their troops, and even the frontier was strong, and the central government was weak......"

"Xiong Lan! Don't forget that you are also the son of a prince! Hou Shizi of Gou Wu shouted sharply, and the rest of the teenagers also came back to their senses, with a look of resentment and fear on their faces.

Heart-wrenching! Xiong Lan pointed out the current situation lightly, and even Liu Xuan was shocked, as if he didn't expect him to be so bold.

But he was right.

Sometimes it's so strange, everyone knows such a thing in their hearts, and if you don't say it, it can be ignored. It's like facing a game of chess, the sunspot has become entangled into a big dragon, and the white character defeat is exposed, but there is always an illusion in your heart--- if you don't admit defeat, the sunspot can't hurt you.

But that's an illusion after all.

"The kid is arrogant." Liu Xuan snorted coldly, "Then if it's you, what should you do?" ”

"Collect elite soldiers, control real power, cut down feudal states, and quell civil strife."

Liu Xuan was thoughtful.

Ying Yue understood what they were talking about.

The place where the Great Yan settled the country is not the current situation where the princes are guarding the frontier, that is, the frontier is still ruled by various tribes, there are indigenous people and remnants of the previous dynasty, nominally obeying the Great Yan Emperor, but in fact, each has a ghost and waits for an opportunity to subvert. The famous general Ye Shan led the army to pacify all ethnic groups, and Taizu divided the heroes and in-laws into various places to defend Dayan. This is undoubtedly a long-term strategy, but now it seems that the princes have become tumors, piercing the body of Dayan, a former giant, to grab blood and food.

Chu State is the only prince with a different surname in Dayan, a place of thousands of miles, but Xiong Lan has no scruples to tear open the wounds that everyone covers, Yingyue doesn't know whether to admire his courage or scold him for being crazy.

"If I am a leaf cedar, I should divide the big into the small, and turn the small into zero......"

"If there is rebellion, what should it be?"

"One person betrayed and beheaded one person, ten thousand people betrayed and slaughtered their country and destroyed their people, killing tens of millions, who would dare to rebel!"

"Humph! I don't know what to say! Liu Xuan flicked his whip, and there was a crisp sound of "pop", and a cloud of smoke and dust exploded under Xiong Lan's feet.

His generous back walked away, and Yan Lingwei on the side also followed.

Seeing that Liu Xuan was far away, Hou Shizi of Gou Wu sneered out of the corner of his eyes, Xiong Lan turned his head, his face was cold, "If that whip is whipped in your face, I don't know if you can laugh so brightly." ”

When Hou Shizi of Gou Wu heard this, he immediately covered his face.

Xiong Lan sneered and pulled Yingyue away.

"Don't be arrogant! Sooner or later, you'll have to pay! You wait! ”

Gou Wu Hou Shizi waited until Xiong Lan was far away, jumped to his feet and scolded, spitting everywhere.

He was tired of scolding, touched a handful of sweat, and shook his fist fiercely in the air.

Sooner or later, you can't be so presumptuous!

"Does it still hurt?" A voice sounded faintly behind him at some point.

As soon as Gou Wu Hou Shizi turned around, the young man beside him walked away at some point, but a black-clothed figure stood silently.

There was a concerned smile on the man's handsome face, but Shizi felt that the air around him was getting cold inch by inch, and it was snowing in the cracks of his bones.

"Mr. Fox?" He suddenly felt that this face was somewhat familiar, and the scene of receiving foreign guests in the Dayi Palace flashed in front of him, and he said softly.

"I ask you, does it still hurt?" Kitsune pointed to his face, "There, whip." ”

He said word by word, as if the prince still had those two whip marks on his face, the whip marks of being beaten by two people he looked down on and hated.

Shizi was a little annoyed, and he didn't know where Hu Yan knew about these things, so he said angrily: "What do you mean? What's your business! ”

"I can...... Help you. Fox Yan said.

"Do you think I'm going to just let them hurt their faces?" Shizi turned to approach the fox, his eyes racing with anger, "I want them dead!" Let them never be presumptuous again! ”

The anger was cold to the bone.

Hu Yan raised his hand and put it on Shizi's shoulder, "What a coincidence, we thought of going together." ”

"What do you think? How can you be so bold? Aren't you afraid of General Liu? ”

Ying Yue asked three times eagerly.

They left the queue and walked through the palace gates to their respective courtyards.

The training ground of the princes of the princely states was moved directly from outside Yanjing to the periphery of the forbidden palace, just because the emperor said that "the young man's yang energy can reach the palace and the yin and cold".

The road was full of busy yellow gates, as soon as they saw Ying Yue and Xiong Lan, they knelt down and saluted, Ying Yue felt uncomfortable at first, even the servants in Yunhuang had never been so humble, but later under the influence of Xiong Lan, he slowly got used to it.

"Just take it. People live by the word 'li'. If you don't accept it, you're doing them harm. Xiong Lan said this to him was remembered by him. He secretly regarded Xiong Lan, who was a few years older, as his brother.

"To relieve someone who is distracted." Xiong Lan replied casually, he looked at Yingyue with a concerned look of blame, and pressed it on Yingyue's head and rubbed it, "I really don't know how your head grows, and you can be in a daze at this time?" You said you've been in a daze a few times on big occasions? I really don't know what to say about you! ”

Ying Yue laughed, and a small yellow door suddenly accidentally bumped into him, and the hot soup in his hand was splashed on him at once.

Ying Yue grinned at the hot ground, and Xiong Lan's waist was thrown upside down in an instant.

Xiao Huangmen fell to the ground with a sigh, his face was pale, he kept kowtowing, and said in a silent voice: "Gongzi spares his life, Gongzi spares his life, and the slave should die." ”

Although Tianxiayun is not out of the sheath, but the weight is not light, Yingyue saw that he was beaten by Xiong Lan and his mouth was full of blood, and most of his heart had been dissipated, and he saw that he kept kowtowing, and he couldn't bear it, so he grabbed Xiong Lan and said: "Okay, okay, he's just careless." I'm fine, I'm going to change anyway. ”

"One more time, I'll let you splatter your blood on the spot!" Xiong Lan stared at him coldly.

"Childe is magnanimous, the slave has thanked Childe, there will never be a next time, there will never be a next time." Xiao Huangmen kowtowed a few more times, turned around and ran, and suddenly he remembered something, turned around and said: "Childe, pay attention to the placket, it's not comfortable to pour hot soup into it." ”

"Don't get out yet!" Xiong Lan shouted angrily.

Ying Yue thought it was Xiao Huangmen's concern and didn't take it seriously. He touched his body, and most of the hot soup was splashed on the iron armor, and only a small part seeped through the cracks, but the temperature was high, but there was no burn.

He fumbled, and suddenly his face changed.

"What? Is it hot inside? Xiong Lan asked with concern.

Ying Yue couldn't laugh or cry, he was actually put in close proximity twice, the last time he met Tong Qianzuo in the market, he was bumped and then the money purse was lost, this time he was bumped and splashed a hot soup and stuffed a note into the placket, no wonder the little yellow door reminded him to pay attention to the placket.

"I'm here, go first?" Xiong Lan suddenly said loudly.

The courtyard of the two of them was on two forks in the road in one direction, and Yingyue said: "Then I will go back too, don't forget that Xiaolou has an appointment with you, and you two have to go to the river to play." ”

Xiong Lan was stunned for a moment, smiled and waved his hand.

Yingyue watched him go away, reached out to open the armor, and took out the note stuffed by the small yellow door from the placket of his clothes.

The note was partially wet with hot soup, and he carefully unfolded it, and a line of graceful handwriting came into view:

Come to Wangxi Pavilion, the time limit is two quarters of an hour, and the expiration date will not wait!

Later, a cute pig's head was painted with Xiao Lou's unique brushwork, but this pig had human ears, which was Xiao Lou's "portrait" of Ying Yue.

Ying Yue picked up the note and ran away.

Yingyue is really ruthless that she doesn't have a sundial with her, but it's a pity that even if she has it, she can't know the time anytime and anywhere. He galloped all the way, his throat aching like fire, and finally caught a glimpse of the very ornate and exaggerated cornices of the Wangxi Pavilion.

He mustered the last of his strength and rushed over.

A cold light suddenly appeared, cutting off a strand of his hair out of thin air and stopping in front of him.

A halberd-wielding guard stared at him coldly, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Ying Yue's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he felt as if he had just walked back and forth on the ghost gate, and the halberd seemed to have cut off his soul.

A series of coquettish laughter flew down from the Wangxi Pavilion, and the laughter sounded like some kind of order, and the guard's face softened, and he turned sideways to give way.

Ying Yue heard that it was Xiaolou's voice. Xiao Lou was playing tricks on him. Scare him with a halberd for fun.

He felt a pain in his heart, and for some reason tears suddenly welled up, he was afraid that the tears would roll down, and he was also afraid that the guards at the door would see it, so he walked in with his head tilted.

He was already very tired, but he still climbed up step by step, and he had lost his anger in the short process of climbing, he thought that he had somehow made Xiaolou angry, so it was good to let her dissipate his anger, thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt that he was so great, he had paid so much for the friendship of the two people, and his eyes were hot again, this time it was not a grievance or an anger, but a touch.

He poked his head out, Xiao Lou was sitting on the cornices with a smug smile on his face, looked down at him condescendingly, and said, "What's the matter, are you afraid?" Hum! ”

Ying Yue didn't reply, approached in a daze, took out the note that he had carefully flattened and put away from his arms, threw it in front of Xiao Lou, and said coldly: "What did you call me for?" ”

Xiao Lou still looked at him with a smile.

Suddenly, another wave of tears welled up, Yingyue resolutely did not bow his head, he avoided Xiaolou's gaze, as if he didn't know her, "Hurry up, I still have to change my clothes." ”

He had a wooden face, but his heart felt like he was crying, and he felt that his words were a little incompatible.

He thought that as soon as I saw your news, he ran over non-stop, and was startled by your use of a halberd, this is a good person who will die, but I still forgive you, and I want to sit shoulder to shoulder with you again to watch the fireworks...... But you think I'm really making you laugh, I've given so much, and you just think it's fun and you deserve it.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, tilted his head, and deliberately didn't look at Xiaolou.

"It's nothing, it's just playing with you, now I've had enough, you can go." Xiao Lou turned around angrily.

A wave of anger rushed to his heart, Yingyue nodded, turned around and left.

He walked to the staircase, and Xiao Lou shouted behind him: "If you have the ability, don't see me again!" ”

Ying Yue was stunned for a moment, tears still fell, and he continued to walk with his head down.

A poignant cry pierced through the partition and seemed like an arrow aimed at a target, straight into his ear.

He gritted his teeth and took another step, then turned and ran up.

The water-green shirt danced in the wind, floating on a corner of the cornice, the girl had red eyes, and tears were still hanging on her cheeks, "What are you doing when you come back, I don't want to see you!" She shouted.

Ying Yue didn't know what to say, looked at her distractedly, heard her speak and thought she was asking him a question, and nodded dumbly.

"Silly melon." The girl sneered, then quickly retracted her smile and continued to stare at him fiercely, whispering.

"Don't ...... Don't cry, yes...... It's me who is bad. Yingyue was at a loss. He said this, but he didn't know what he was doing "bad", but as soon as he saw Xiaolou crying, he couldn't help but admit his mistake first.

"I ask you, why didn't you come to me that day?" Xiao Lou wiped his tears with the back of his hand and asked.

"Which day?"

"The day I asked you to go to Qingcong Lake!" Xiao Lou gritted his teeth.

Qingcong Lake...... Yingyue rang out, it was the day she met Tong Qianzuo, and she was stolen from her purse! No wonder I always feel like I've forgotten something, it turns out to be this!

"I met your brother in the market, Tong Qianzuo, and he dragged me to play...... So ......"

"So you forgot about me? Is my brother a better friend than I am? Xiao Lou's eyebrows were upside down.

Ying Yue looked embarrassed, and then suddenly reached out and touched the breastplate, touched it for a long time, and found a small puppet.

It was a puppet he bought at the market that day, like a puppet in Xiaolou.

He has been carrying it with him since he bought it back, trying to find an opportunity to give it to Xiaolou, but after that day, Xiaolou alienated him, and when he saw him from afar on the road, he turned around and left, and didn't give him a chance to give it out at all.

Xiao Lou looked over suspiciously.

The goose-yellow shirt and the black cicada-like hair are indeed very similar to Xiaolou...... On the face of this puppet, the danko on the lips is half of the face, and the black ink that is dotted on the eye socket as a pupil is also scattered, and the whole "little flower face".

"You mean, it's me?" Xiao Lou held the puppet up to his face, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.

The puppet's messy face was in stark contrast to her pink carved face, Yingyue blushed, and reached out to grab it, but was slapped on the back of her hand by Xiao Lou and dodged.

"Reluctantly." She picked up the puppet, "I ask you, do you dare to leave me and not play with me?" ”

She finally had a smile on her face, her water-green shirt fluttering in the wind, Ying Yue suddenly thought of the night they first met, and the girl in Wangxi Pavilion asked the boy, "Will you forget me?" ”

No, not in this life.

"Now, do you think I'm good-looking today, or did I look good before?" Xiao Lou suddenly looked a little shy, twisted up his skirt, and asked Yingyue with a smile.

She is in an aqua green shirt today, not goose yellow.

"It looked good today. It's as beautiful as the wind. Ying Yue said honestly.

"Ha, stupid melon, how can there be such a metaphor?" Xiao Lou laughed happily, she patted the bag on the waist of the puppet, "I'll forgive you today!" No matter who you see in the future, you can't forget me, do you hear me! ”

"I hear you."

Xiao Lou still felt uneasy, so he came to Yingyue's side, took his hand, and hooked his little fingers, "I pulled the hook, I regret that it is a puppy!" Repentance is a puppy! ”

She also read it twice.

Ying Yue's eyes and heart are all the little fingers that are as white as jade at this moment, hooking his hand, as if hooking his life for the rest of his life.

His heart beat faster.

Xiao Lou suddenly let go of his hand, slapped his head, and shouted: "It's over, it's over, I promised Xiong Lan to go to the river to play, I forgot it!" ”

She touched Yingyue's head and said apologetically: "Good, my sister will play with you tomorrow, and I will play with you all day." ”

She successfully took advantage of Yingyue, and before Yingyue could react, she threw down a series of silver-bell-like laughter and ran away.

The sound of going down the stairs knocked on Yingyue's heart.

He suddenly hated Xiong Lan, and he hated it like never before.
