The little emperor Yan Li, born a little crippled, his right ear has always been a little less than others, although from childhood to adulthood, people because of their identity, they didn't say anything when they saw him, but he knew that people behind his back called him a cripple, and his cousin Niancheng, when he heard others call him like this, would beat that person until his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Maybe it's because of his physical and mental inferiority, or maybe it's because there are too many overly powerful people around him who are controlling his life, Yan Li has been a cowardly and incompetent person since he was a child, and even he knows this clearly.

Everyone knows that Wei Niancheng and the Son of Heaven commanded hundreds of officials, only Yan Li himself knows that his cousin has done a lot of things for him, his cousin was born outstanding, he is the pride of the sky, and the world later complained that he was cruel and ruthless, but Yan Li could see that his cousin would cherish every one of his relatives, including his cowardly crippled brother.

He was a mediocre and incompetent emperor, he was a decisive ruler, he helped him through the years of his reign, but he never really bullied or tried to pull him off the dragon chair.

He has always treated him very well, although others don't think so, but Yan Li is deeply touched.

In the end, he saw that the person who helped him was cornered, and even the whole world was about to abandon him, so he mustered up the courage to do the only decisive thing in his life that he never regretted.

Follow him, the ends of the earth.

And he thought that he had been completely abandoned by this world and completely tired of it, Wei Niancheng never thought that the road had come to an end, and when he looked back, he found that there were still people who were willing to give up everything to follow him, which made him a little unsure of how to express his position for a while.

As for why he was still alive, I think Yan Li knew that Lan Shang in southern Xinjiang could save him, so he traveled thousands of miles and brought him to southern Xinjiang.

Wei Niancheng sighed and was surprised, if there was no Snow Hibiscus, even if Lan Shang came to the rescue, where would he still live!

Thinking that he was already in southern Xinjiang and was still alive and well, Wei Niancheng was silent for a moment and asked, "On the way to southern Xinjiang, did you never meet a chasing killer?" ”

Yan Li thought for a while and said truthfully: "No." ”

Wei Niancheng's mind was empty for a moment, and he sighed with a wry smile: "They are willing to let me live!" ”

Yan Li wanted to speak and stopped, he knew what Wei Niancheng wanted in his heart, after all, he was also an emperor, and in the end, although there were some things that no one told him to explain, he still knew the truth, so he couldn't bear to hide it: "I know, in fact, Prime Minister and General Xiao sent people to the deep mountains and dense forests of southern Xinjiang to search for a long time, and they really found a seedling of snow hibiscus and handed it over to Elder Lan Shang." Elder Lan Shang said, Snow Hibiscus can prolong your life, but you will suffer a lot, and in the end, life and death will depend on the will of Heaven. ”

Wei Niancheng was extremely surprised, the so-called pain, he had tasted it all, and he was not afraid, but they let him go, but it was beyond his expectations, he thought that these two people wanted to let him survive for a few days according to their young love, and then die silently, but unexpectedly, they were thousands of miles apart, like looking for a needle in a haystack, to find life-saving herbs for him.

Inexplicably, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, Wei Niancheng thought about it, after all kinds of experiences, maybe Zeng Cong also faintly regarded him as a brother in his heart, after all, they had the same blood in their bodies.

And Xiao Yi, Wei Niancheng smiled, among the children of the capital when he was young, only this Xiao Yi can be compared with him, maybe the hero cherishes the hero, when Xiao Yi made some rampant mistakes when he was a teenager, when everyone blamed him, although he had no deep friendship with Xiao Yi, he never fell into the well.

In fact, secretly, if you say that when you are high-spirited, the two most similar temperaments in the entire capital are Xiao Yi and him back then, but it is a pity that after growing up, his identity and position became slowly alienated, and he went to the cold border to garrison, but he tried everything he could to survive all day long.

The sun shines through the branches and leaves above his head, and Wei Niancheng feels a little tired after waking up for a while, feeling peaceful for the first time in many years, and wants to rest for a while.

He thought that everyone in this world was thinking of him dying, but it turned out that there were still so many people who allowed him to live......

The warm sun of early spring shines in more than one place, and in an attic in the capital of Daliang, it is also sunny and breezy.

The chessboard is crisscrossed with two colors of black and white, and there is a momentum of competition in the light and in the dark, if the insider looks, he must be amazed at the extreme subtlety of this game of chess, the black and white sides are evenly matched, and the whole chessboard is divided into two.

Someone seemed to be walking fast under the attic, tripped over the stone steps, and let out a small exclamation.

Suddenly, the person holding the black chess piece on one side of the chessboard was nervous, and the chess pieces between his fingers fell on the board.

Seeing that the person who fell was fine, still laughing, Xiao Yi withdrew his eyes from the windowsill, glanced at the chess game, and said in a deep voice: "I lost." ”

Zeng Cong was silent, stretched out his slender fingers, and took the full plate of chess pieces back one by one, and after a moment, he asked, "Is it really decided?" ”

Xiao Yi smiled, but he was also free and easy, "It's not a heart-wrenching choice, so it's easy to let go." ”

The words fell, and the voice of Yun Ying, the maid in the attic, rose and said helplessly: "My good lady, sister Yu, you are walking faster than me!" ”

Su Yu groped his way and sat on the steps, and said in the direction of Yun Ying: "I'm happy today, I took a bigger step than usual, and I miscalculated the number of steps." ”

As she spoke, Su Yu was just about to stand up, but was gently helped up by a big palm behind her, and then took her hand and walked slowly towards the outside of the courtyard.

"I'm not around after you, so I'm not allowed to leave in a hurry, you know?"

Su Yu nodded, stroked his lower abdomen, and nodded honestly.

"I have cleaned up the yard where I want to live in the village, and the things I use on weekdays have been delivered, I think Mr. Wen and Ah Shrimp are waiting, let's go back."

Su Yu's heart is warm, indescribable taste, and now for Xiao Yi, in addition to gratitude, the rest is love that is thick to the bones.

How lucky she is to meet such a man who loves her, is willing to live for her, dies for her, and is willing to give up everything for her.

Now they are going back to Qingyunling, just because she said, "I want to go back to Qingyunling", after everything was arranged, he really gave up his military costume and was willing to live a dull life with her.

"It may take us a little longer to go back this time."

"Why?" Su Yu was puzzled, isn't everything already over?

After hesitation, I only heard Xiao Yi say: "In March, the weather is getting warmer, let's go to Tongxiang first, then to Wuyue, Cangyun, and then to Yongjiang, Qingzhou, Bian An, how about it?" ”

Su Yu was suddenly, her heart was happy, but she felt that things were wrong, these places that Xiao Yi said were all drawn up by her and Tang Zhe scholars and Da Kui Zhulin at the beginning, the so-called route to the rivers and lakes, they used to arrange the plan so meticulously, and in the end, after walking for a long time, they were all scattered on the road.

Many years ago, she had told Xiao Yi about this matter, and she said it casually at the time, and she didn't want to, and he took it to heart.

The spring breeze caresses lightly, and the warm sun shines softly on the body.

Following Xiao Yi slowly walked forward, after walking a few steps, Su Yu gently pulled his sleeve, Xiao Yi stopped, and lowered his head very naturally, knowing that she would inevitably hear a whisper in her heart.

Su Yu felt Xiao Yi's breath, stood on tiptoe to his ear, said softly, and laughed, although he couldn't see the expression on Xiao Yi's face at this time, he could feel that he was at that moment, his breath was chaotic for a moment, and then the hand on his chest could feel the sudden fast heartbeat.

Xiao Yi rarely felt so difficult to hold himself, and confirmed to the person in front of him: "Seriously." ”

Su Yu smiled, "I guarantee it in the name of my Su Daxia." ”

Xiao Yi was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Su Yu, carefully guarded it, and went towards the carriage that had already been prepared outside the door.

Zeng Cong in the attic, with two crystal jade chess pieces twisted between his slender fingers, one black and one white, was quietly held in his hands.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the two people who were slowly leaving, their faces were sad for a moment, and they sighed again and smiled softly.

Lowering his gaze, Zeng Cong threw the two chess pieces back on the chessboard that had been extinguished, and murmured, "I lost." ”

Oh, yes! Zeng Cong knew from beginning to end that in some aspects, he would lose completely, from the time Xiao Yi disregarded his life, and even disregarded the overall situation of the world, and sent all his strength to save her, he lost completely.

Zeng Cong asked himself, he couldn't do it.

So just like Xiao Yi just said, he has never loved deeply and thoroughly, and he didn't dig his heart and lungs, so it's easy to put it down, but the whole person, the whole heart, in an instant, seems to be back to when he was a child, the night his mother died, he was alone, and there was only one person left.

It was cold and hungry that night, and if he had a bowl of rice at that time, his mother would not have died, and if everyone had a bowl of rice, many, many people would not have died.

Quietly raising his eyes, Zeng Cong looked at the distant sky, and once again remembered the question his mother had asked.

The mother didn't want him to live with hatred in her heart, so she asked, if someone asked you for a bowl of rice, would you give it?

Now that the vicissitudes of life have passed for many years, the bones of his mother have not known which piece of mud they have melted into, Zeng Cong just wanted to say that he could give it, in this whole world, as long as he can take care of the land, everyone has a bowl of rice.

Because the sky that had been gloomy for a long time was finally clear.

Because the era of peace and prosperity is coming......

Morning and twilight, years and years are loaded.

The wind in Qingyunling was still blowing slowly, Su Yu leaned on the rocking chair, and folded the dried clothes on his legs, one by one, crookedly on the wooden table on the side.

In the yard, the dates on the trees were ripe, and when the wind blew, with a few slight landing sounds, it seemed that a few had fallen.

Su Yu didn't care about that, and shook the rocking chair for a while, and then felt a little drowsy.

In the fog, Tang Zhe quietly slipped into the yard, picked up a date and smashed her, Su Yu frowned, a little angry that he was startled by his sleep, he didn't want to pay attention to him, turned over and continued to sleep.

The scholar and Yiyi came, smiled, and called her: "Don't go to sleep, Daddy said that whoever can't memorize today's article will be punished for pouring swill, and I see that the jar containing swill is full." ”

What are you taking today's test? Tao Te Ching?

Su Yu's mind was blank, as soon as he heard that he was going to pour swill, he quickly sat up, and opened his eyes sleepily, only to find that there was nothing beside him, only a jujube tree that was blown by the wind and gently shook its branches, and the jujube trees on it were ripe purple-red, and from time to time, they fell to the ground.

My heart was empty and a little sour.

Suddenly, the sound of laughter outside approached, Su Yu looked up, and vaguely saw a child running in front, followed by an adult with calm steps, the child saw her, and called happily, "Mother." ”

Su Yu stood up, turned her head to look at the place where the scholar and Tang Zhe were standing when she was sleepy, came back to her senses, and met the person who walked towards her again, feeling that the time was still good, the person who missed her in her dreams, and the person she loved in front of her when she woke up.

It was as if a thousand sails had passed in my heart, and time had returned to the beginning......
