Ying Yue didn't expect that Xiong Lan's "soon" would make him wait for three months.

Three months, not long, not short, the dead tree outside the window has been dressed in plain clothes, he sat at the stone table in the courtyard, facing the familiar young man, there was a trace of excitement.

"Major General!" The boy was even more agitated, he fell to one knee, his eyes already red.

Since Yingyue came to Yanjing, the two have not seen each other for half a year, Nan Yunkang has become black and thin, and three months of military life have brought him an iron-blooded breath in every move.

"You..... Grew taller. Nan Yunkang looked at Ying Yue for a while and said.

Ying Yue suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Nan Yunkang to stand up, and stood in front of him, his eyes scanning from bottom to top, with a helpless expression.

It's still an inch off.

It seems that he has not been higher than him since he was a child, and every year has passed, Huang's mother happily touches Yingyue's head and says that the young general is going to grow into a man when he grows taller, so he happily runs to find Nan Yunkang, but he can't compare to him every time.

It's just an inch short.

Nan Yunkang also remembered the troubles when he was a child, and grinned.

They messed around for a while, and it felt like it was back to before. It seems that he was still a carefree child at that time, and he could say to another boy with a serious face, I will marry you in the future.

"Mama Huang misses you very much, Major General. She knew that I was going to come and stuffed me with a lot of things for me to bring to you, but the general said, 'Akang is on his way to business, and the woman's house is less troublesome.' 'She's just giving up," Nan Yunkang imitated Yingyue's father's stern appearance and lowered his voice, "Otherwise, I'll probably die of exhaustion halfway through." ”

Yingyue can also think of Huang's mother's worries and concerns, and her heart can't help but warm.

Then his eyes dimmed again, "That'...... Father, is he okay? ”

"General? The general didn't say anything, but before we left, he called me alone and said something. ”

"What?"

"He said, 'Let's see if that kid has lost weight, let him give me a good meal'."

Ying Yue was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that the words that his father asked Nan Yunkang to bring must still be those clichés "Remember that you are from Yunhuang, remember that you are a descendant of the Ying family", but he didn't expect this to be the case, he didn't know what to say, he stayed for a while, but a warmth suddenly rose in his chest.

An unexpected warmth. It's so strange, he knows that Huang's mother will definitely care about him, but his father doesn't necessarily, so after receiving the same care, the care from his father moved him even more.

even wanted to cry, but his throat seemed to be full of grievances.

It turns out that he is so important in that person's heart.

"Major General?" Nanyun Kang saw Yingyue hanging his head and asked softly.

Ying Yue touched the corner of her eye.

"Before leaving, Mr. Ziliu asked me to bring this to you."

Nan Yunkang stretched out his right hand and slowly opened it.

A shield-like scale with a pitch-black surface and uneven surface appeared in the palm of his hand, facing the sun but not reflecting, this mysterious material seemed to absorb all the light refracted on it.

"What is this?" Ying Yue looked at this thing a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"Yi Wenling," Nan Yunkang paused after finishing speaking, as if to confirm whether it was accurate, "Mr. Ziliu said, I don't know what this is." ”

Ying Yue carefully picked up the wing order, flipped it over and looked at it, "How do you use it?" ”

Mr. Ziliu never does useless things, and Yingyue has understood this truth since he can remember. When Scarlet Yi first arrived, a song "Yun Shengrong" was shocking, Xue Ziliu admired and secretly learned piano skills, and later achieved a small success, the music played was like gold and iron like cracking ice, and was ridiculed by Scarlet Yi as "piano mantra", he never spent useless work, and there must be results in doing things, although the results are sometimes a little biased.

Thinking of this, he also felt uneasy in his heart.

Nan Yunkang scratched his head, straightened his face, learned from Xue Ziliu's serious look, and said seriously: "You don't care how to use it, as long as you wear it on your body, someone will teach you sooner or later." ”

"How do I wear it?"

Nan Yunkang scratched his head again in embarrassment, "He didn't say it." ”

An inconspicuous courtyard in the Forbidden Palace is rarely lively today.

Judging from the appearance alone, this courtyard is particularly eye-catching in the Forbidden Palace. Low, shabby, overgrown with weeds, no plaques, no doormen, it seems that there is a sour spirit of poverty in his bones, as if he is a scholar who is down, but still has the so-called lofty ambitions, rejects people.

No one would have imagined that there was a prince of the dynasty, His Royal Highness King Lu.

"Hurry up, hurry up, your hands and feet are sharp, delay the effort to take care of your skin!" A shrill voice rang out outside the door.

Several people agreed, and the footsteps were chaotic.

Tong Qianzuo had just taken a nap in the courtyard for a while, and woke up leisurely, and when he heard this voice, there was a trace of nostalgia in his heart.

Although the old Huangmen was vicious and hateful, Tong Qianzuo also secretly hated him to the bone, but there was a huge forbidden palace, and there was only one living person by his side.

Someone called the door with a "knock knock".

Before he could walk over, the door was kicked open, and several figures squeezed in without saying a word, and hurriedly greeted him, and flashed to all corners of the courtyard, not knowing what he was busy with.

The man who kicked the door stepped in.

Tong Qianzuo's eyes seemed to become vivid in an instant.

It was a graceful girl, fourteen or fifteen years old, only three or two years older than Tong Qianzuo, but it seemed to be a generation, ordinary girls were still hiding behind the curtain at this time and twisting their handkerchiefs to peek at their future husbands, the girls in the palace were already like water lotuses at the beginning of bloom, with pink buds on the branches, like nephrite holding the breeze, which was lovely.

Her apricot eyes were slight, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and a handkerchief was pinched and covered by a white handkerchief, as if the smell here was compelling, "Arrange it quickly, there is no time to delay." ”

After she finished speaking, she squinted at Tong Qianzuo, and Tong Qianzuo immediately smiled and said, "I don't know who this sister is?" ”

"I don't dare to be a big gift to His Royal Highness King Lu," she said in her mouth, but her body did not dodge at all, and she seemed to be extremely useful, "The slave is nameless, and the queen gives the word 'Chu Tao'er'." ”

Empress. Tong Qianzuo's pupils shrank.

Chu Tao'er looked around in disgust, and raised her hand to fall, "Look at the slave, you are a pig's coop here--- ouch, look at my mouth, Your Highness is angry." Although you are a concubine, after all, you are also the nominal son of the queen, you are so poor, aren't you saying that the queen is mean to the world? ”

She is not very old, but she has learned the queen's appearance very well, and the queen's face seemed to overlap with Chu Tao'er for a moment, and Tong Qianzuo shuddered.

A wry smile appeared on his face, he was a dignified king, but he was humiliated by a slave and maid beside the queen, but he couldn't complain, and he had to accompany the smiling face.

A few more figures suddenly appeared behind him, and it turned out that a few yellow doors that had cleaned up the courtyard had finished the work at hand, quietly waiting for the next order.

"It's all right, is it? Hurry up and go if it's okay! Chu Tao'er raised her eyebrows and shouted.

The yellow doors squeezed out of the narrow doors one by one, saying that they were narrow doors, but they had become a lot more orderly under their picking, and they no longer looked dilapidated before.

"Sister, you?"

Chu Tao'er didn't move.

"What? The slave maid came here to dirty His Highness's noble land? ”

Tong Qianzuo shook his head.

He knew in his heart that this was probably the queen's arrangement, and he picked a cronie from his side to keep an eye on him, but he couldn't figure it out, he had not been remembered by the emperor for many years, and he was still burdened with the notoriety of killing his mother, how could the queen be so wary of herself?

Of course, he didn't expect that when he summoned the envoy in the Dayi Palace that day, the words that Hu Yan said to him reached the queen's ears on the same day, and the emperor also read his name several times after getting drunk last night.

The emperor did not have many sons, except for one or two who were still in infancy, only the crown prince and him were left, and in any case, the queen would try her best to eradicate all factors that hindered the crown prince's accession to the throne.

Mother and son are in deep love, Tong Qianzuo sneered in his heart.

Chu Tao'er walked around his yard, and it seemed that he really wasn't leaving.

"Sister?"

For the cronies around these high-ranking people, he consciously lowered his attitude and deliberately ignored his status as a prince. Putting oneself in the lowliest position satisfies the psychology of these lowly people. This is the truth he has figured out.

"Your Highness, don't blame the slaves for being mean, in the future, your food, clothing, housing and transportation will be the responsibility of the slaves and maids, and the queen will personally order ......"

"What?" Tong Qianzuo looked up in surprise.

Chu Tao'er's face instantly turned cold, "What's the matter, Your Highness has to see Yi Zhi to believe it?" ”

"Don't dare...... Can't. His face turned a little pale and he bowed his head.

Is this a prisoner at the hands of a woman?

His face was cold, but his heart suddenly became hot.

It was the blood that was rushing so fast that the heat seemed to burn through the blood vessels.

Princes, princes, all shit!

That seat, the seat in the Dayi Palace, radiates a huge net from it, covering the entire world, and the closest is the dragon and phoenix, far away, the pig and the dog are not as good.

At the end of the day, it has nothing to do with blood.

As soon as you sit on it, you lift the net, and it is no longer a fish or shrimp, but a fisherman. The life in the net is in the palm of your hand.

Sit in that seat...... The young man with his head down suddenly clenched his fists, he was just silent, but his heart was already overturned.

But no one could see it.

The cold wind shook the bones, and the people in the field felt that the armor was frozen on the flesh by the wind and snow, and they were inseparable.

"I can bear it, but you can't!"

Thick eyebrows and thin eyes seemed to spit fire, and anyone who met his eyes felt that it was obviously winter, but his soul let out a burning moan.

Liu Xuan was carrying a long whip in his hand, he was covered with heavy bright light armor, shining like a diamond in the winter sun, and he was also as angular and hard as a diamond.

From time to time, he struck the ground with his whip, and snow and ice flew in all directions.

"It's been half a year, huh? That's all there is to it! He shouted. Thin eyes stared at the group of teenagers in front of him.

Most of them were pale, their lips trembled unconsciously, they had been under Liu Xuan's hands for a long time, and everyone had figured out the rules, this patriotic general, who was known as the "God of War" in the world, especially liked to punish the soldiers.

This can be regarded as a quirk of a famous general.

People who have been on the battlefield seem to have retained some abnormal habits in their daily life, in this way they relieve the anxiety and anxiety caused by suddenly leaving the fierce and tense battlefield where life and death are unknown, and the famous general star Ye Shan likes to make the servants of the family carry a gong on their heads, and he holds a bow without strings in his hand to shoot in the air, and at night he also makes his wife and concubine stand on the bed wearing war armor, so that he can sleep peacefully.

In comparison, Liu Xuan seemed insignificant. Although he has always emphasized that this is the study of arrays and the foundation of the art of war, the teenagers only regard this as Liu Xuan's torture on a whim.

Only two of them stood very seriously, and their bodies were unusually straight.

One is Ying Yue and the other is Xiong Lan.

Yingyue really regards Liu Xuan as the god of war, and obeys his words, as if she sees her strict father. Xiong Lan was out of the intention of accompanying his friends, and didn't want Yingyue to be despised by these teenagers and think that he was stammering General Liu, but later the two of them had developed a habit, and when they heard the "formation", they couldn't help but straighten up and raise their heads.

Xiao Lou ridiculed them as if they were "obedient dogs", dogs raised by Yanjing people who were loyal to their owners.

Thinking of Xiao Lou, Yingyue had another headache.

It's been three months, Xiao Lou hasn't given him a good face, even he tried to find the funniest joke, Xiao Lou also made a straight face after laughing, as if it wasn't her own who was amused just now.

On the contrary, the relationship between her and Xiong Lan has improved a lot, which is also a happy thing, but watching them talk about topics that they can't participate in, Yingyue always feels inexplicably aggrieved.

I was so aggrieved that I wanted to cry.

Clearly...... Obviously I met you first, doesn't Xiong Lan often make you angry, obviously we are the best friends.

"Yingyue, did you hear that?"

Liu Xuan's face suddenly enlarged in front of him, and he immediately came back to his senses, and heard Liu Xuan's words with a wry smile.

Finished...... I didn't hear what the general was asking......

"General, I have something to say." Xiong Lan suddenly came out of the ranks.
