If others dared to look at me like this, I would have thought that he was a prodigal disciple, but the person in front of me did not feel the slightest frivolity and obscenity, but a feeling of cherishing and valuing him.

He curled the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, "Although you like to show your strength with calmness, I still recommend that you smile more." Just like this, not only will it not detract from your strength, but it will also increase your beauty and prolong your life. ”

"Why?"

"Because girls who love to laugh are always more popular, they have an easier path. A woman's smile is like a sword in a swordsman's hand, a must-have weapon, and it's a nirvana. A lot of times you just have to smile, and maybe what would otherwise be difficult will be much easier. Xiao Jianqing looked at me gently, "Men eat soft rather than hard most of the time, if you are willing to change your attitude and smile at the fourth son, maybe you won't be so sad." ”

I fixed, "I only like to laugh in one situation." ”

"What's the situation?"

I whispered, "When the enemy bullied me and insulted me, the more they wanted me to suffer, the more I laughed. ”

Xiao Jianqing said half helplessly and half gently: "What a tenacious and stubborn child." ”

His gaze was like a shattered starlight shining on me, "Actually, you shouldn't treat the fourth prince as an enemy, you can treat him as a problem." A difficult hurdle in your life that you must overcome, a hurdle that will test your patience and intellect. Think about it that way, and you'll feel better. ”

I was moved, and my mood became much better, and I walked into the forest, teasing as I walked: "It seems that the old monk of Gujing talks about Zen, old-fashioned, obviously you are not a few years older than me." ”

"Age is not necessarily proportional to experience, young age does not mean less experience, I tell you from the experience of those who have come before. I have experienced more than you, and I know more than you, you don't have to deliberately belittle me to balance your age and experience are not as good as my inferiority complex, in fact, I can reluctantly cooperate with you. His face was gentle, but his words were tinged with a hint of amusement.

I glanced at him, "Sounds like you've been through a lot and can write a tearful novel?" ”

He replied lightly: "Don't stop crying, it's just crying blood." ”

I chuckled, and the heavy mood I had felt over the past few days had subsided a lot, and my steps became much lighter.

The moon is bright and the wind is clear, and the figures are in pairs.

I picked a large handful of wormwood on the way back from the water's edge, and took a puff of wormwood back to smoke and repel mosquitoes.

Beside the yellow fire, Yu Wenyong looked lonely and drank water with a water bag, and I suddenly had an idea and said to the people around me: "How about I tell you a joke?" ”

Zheng Bai chatted scoundrel, for the idea I put forward everyone suddenly became interested, Yu Wenyong didn't say anything, still silently drank water, I talked under the expectation of everyone: "In a certain school, the teacher assigned a task to the child, requiring the following four sentences to be connected into paragraphs with short words. In the first sentence, Brother Yuwen was paralyzed. In the second sentence, Brother Yuwen studied tenaciously. In the third sentence, Brother Yuwen learned multiple languages. In the fourth sentence, Brother Yuwen learned acupuncture. The correct answer is this: although Yuwen's brother is paralyzed, he still learns tenaciously and not only learns multiple languages, but also learns acupuncture. ”

"As a result, one child wrote: Although Yuwen's brother tenaciously learned acupuncture and multiple languages, he was still paralyzed."

Zhao Tong glanced at Yu Wenyong, endured it, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"There is also a child who wrote: Brother Yuwen not only learned many languages, but also learned acupuncture, he studied so tenaciously that he was finally paralyzed."

Zhao Tong took the lead and couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

"The reason why Brother Yuwen is paralyzed is because of his tenacious study, not only did he learn multiple languages, but he even learned acupuncture."

This time, Du Cheng and Zhao Tong fell together and laughed.

"Brother Yuwen is so tenacious in learning, not only did he learn multiple languages and acupuncture, but he also learned to be paralyzed in the end."

Yu Yi's tense face cracked, he looked at Yu Wenyong, lowered his head, and trembled with laughter.

"Brother Yuwen has learned multiple languages, learned acupuncture, and is tenaciously learning to be paralyzed."

Zhao Tongdu laughed heartily on his wings, and his body couldn't stand up.

"The fiercer child wrote: Brother Yuwen learned multiple languages and acupuncture through tenacious learning, but he paralyzed himself with needles."

Yuwen Yong shook the water bag and squirted out a mouthful of water.

The three of them had fallen to the ground and laughed, Yuwen Yong looked at me angrily, forced himself to hold back the twitching of the corners of his mouth, and I couldn't help but smile.

The blue sky and clouds are thin, the breeze in the mountains and forests is gargling, and Xiao Jianqing's smile like the morning breeze and the moon is reflected in my eyes. Being looked at by him like this, I unconsciously restrained my somewhat exaggerated smile, bathed in the breeze and moonlight, my smile was as light as a pear, and my complexion was light.

Infected by me, Zhao Tong and Du Quan also took turns to tell jokes, and they were very happy.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was sleeping peacefully, I lifted my sleeves and found a red spot on it, full of traces of mosquito bites, and I felt itchy when I looked at these red spots, and I couldn't help but scratch it with my hands.

A hand gently stopped me, the flowing green shirt was like three feet of clear water, the warm hand grabbed me, only a moment and let go, and when I looked down again, there was a small blue and white porcelain medicine bottle in my hand.

Touching the cool porcelain vase with my fingertips, looking at the figure who came and left silently, I silently opened the porcelain vase, gently liniment, and my heart beat a little delicately.

Fortunately, the next day, the carriage arrived at the pavilion for officials' food and lodging, and there was no need to sleep in the open.

Yu Wenyong and I still live in one room, and when the two of us are alone, I am saying, "Yu Wenyong, let's have a good talk." ”

Yu Wenyong raised his eyebrows, "Let's talk?" I can't think of anything else that makes sense out of your mouth. ”

"Stop, belittling me won't increase your sense of accomplishment, Yu Wenyong." I accentuated my tone, "Actually, we don't have a deep hatred for each other. Even if I had ruined your assassination plan by mistake, you would have killed me first. Later, your brothers joined forces to use me, and all I did was just for self-defense, so is it necessary for us to be so tense? ”

Yu Wenyong sneered, with hidden anger on his face, "Self-defense, you said it lightly." Hundreds of brothers fell into the abyss because of you, and there were no corpses, Wu Yingshe was bloodbathed because of you, Shang Bai and Jingjing were killed because of you, and the imperial brother was poisoned. There are so many lives, can you gently wipe them out with a word of self-defense! ”

I laughed even colder, and spared no effort to sneer, "Is the specialty of your Yuwen family men to shirk responsibility?" Before accusing me, ask me what you have done, calculating me, using me, harming me, and forcing me to drink poison, if I hadn't been clever enough, you would have killed me a long time ago. Okay, you and Yuwen Hu want to fight in the nest, it's your business to fight any way you want, why do you want to pull me in? What did I do wrong to make you do this to me, shouldn't I fight back, shouldn't I defend myself? You selfish coward, it was you who hurt me first, it was you who hurt me and made me desperate to destroy you, it was your stupidity and self-righteousness that lost to Yuwen Hu and harmed everyone. It's you, not me! ”

Yu Wenyong had green tendons twitching on his forehead, "Shut up!" ”

"I'll say it again!" I glared at him, "You're sad, you're in pain, so you run away." You put all the blame for your failure on a woman, and you don't want to admit your stupidity and failure, so torture me to cover up your failure and unwillingness. Yu Wenyong, you are not a man! ”

Looking at Yu Wenyong's trembling lips in pain, I only knew that what I said was likely to anger him, but if I didn't talk about it, I would never be able to get justice from him in the future. This scar must be uncovered and he must face his problems.

I hit the nail on the head, "In fact, you know that all of this is true. Admit it, Yu Wenyong, you are a selfish and cowardly coward, a selfish ghost who transfers his own failures and pain to a woman! ”

Yu Wenyong lowered his head, I couldn't see his expression clearly, I only felt that the sky was lonely, and the whole room had a depressed atmosphere, low as a deep pool, speechless grief.

After a long time, he finally said in a low voice: "You're right, I actually just want to find someone to vent my hatred, I want to put all the responsibility on you to relieve my pain, in fact, you are just a pawn of Yuwen Hu." The royal brother was poisoned, I hated him and wanted to take revenge on him, but I couldn't do it, let alone show it. Then I came to hate you, and I imposed those charges on you, in order that I might hate you and torture you with peace of mind. But what's the use of this, it just shows my incompetence even more. After he said this, his tone was pale and bitter, as if he had drained all the strength of his body.

I walked up to him and softened, "It's good that you understand, so we don't have to hate each other like enemies when we work together in the future." ”

Yu Wenyong barely bothered to look at me, "Together, can I understand that you plan to be in the same boat with me?" ”

I nodded, "So to speak." These days, I have thought about it carefully, I have the ambition of the world, and I can't live in peace wherever I go, so it is better to simply find someone who can deliver it and play its due role. Master has instructed me that the aspirations of the world and the earth should be handed over to a monarch who truly blesses the people and is eloquent. Looking at the world's three points of Qi Chen, several lords of Qi are absurd, the internal friction is very serious, and the national strength is declining day by day; Although Chen Guo and Chen Qian were diligent and inspiring, since the Hou Jing Rebellion (2) and the Jiangling Rebellion (3), Jiangnan's economic strength has greatly declined, and the powerful rebellions of all parties have greatly depleted the national treasury, and the national strength is declining day by day. Compared with Qi Chen, the strength of the Zhou State is thriving, and it is the most likely of the Three Kingdoms to win the world, if ......"

I paused, Yu Wenyong's attention was attracted by my words, and a bright light appeared in his gloomy eyes, and I continued: "If Your Majesty is a British lord who can rule the world, I will hand over the map to you, but obviously Your Majesty's training is not enough, and more experience is needed. When Your Majesty really meets the conditions to be the lord of the world, I will hand over the picture to you. ”

Yu Wenyong pondered for a moment and said, "You mean that you promised to give me the diagram, but only if I have the ability to rule the world to be qualified to have it. ”

I said firmly, "If you need it, I will be by your side to help you become a qualified monarch." This is the last wish of the master, only if you become a truly capable monarch who is born by the common people, I can rest assured that I will hand over the map. ”

Yu Wenyong glanced at me lightly, as if he had made up his mind, and said very arrogantly: "Whether you mean this sincerely or falsely, whether you really want to help me or delay time, I have to prove it to you, I am qualified to get that picture." The world must be mine. ”

When the window is opened, the sun is scorching and the sky and the earth are sparse.
