Volume 2 Xin Guo Chapter 55 A Gentleman and a Promise

At noon, Zhang Hu led a large army back to the barracks, and Gu Yannian took Fu Guolai's envoys to stay in Zhouji City. As soon as Gu Yannian entered the city, he ordered someone to pass on Gu Beiyu. At the same time, the camp received the news that Fu An, the prince of Fu Guo, had invited several battalion generals to have a banquet, and naturally the two Gu brothers were on the list, but they ordered Bai Yanxiao to go to this banquet together.

Bai Yanxiao sat in the account, stroking his forehead with a headache, not knowing what Fu An's idea was.

"Xiaobai! Xiaobai! A familiar voice came from outside the account.

Bai Yanxiao hurriedly walked out: "Fu Xun? Where have you been? ”

Fu Xun rubbed his head: "Well, I walked around casually when I had nothing to do yesterday." ”

"That's a pity, you didn't see how much Princess Ling liked those men in the camp yesterday."

"Ling'er...... Insult....... Princess Ling, she is here too? Fu Xun was a little surprised.

"Yes, today they have a banquet in the city of Zhou Halberd, or you can go with me!"

"I ...... I'm not going," Fu Xun hesitated.

"Why?" Bai Yan smiled and pouted, a little puzzled.

"Alas, by the way, didn't you say that your sister is in Zhou Halberd City, why don't you go to the banquet, I'll help you go to investigate, it just so happens that I have been detained by Gu Beiyuan for so long and I haven't had time to visit this boat halberd full of beauties! Now it's back, just in time for a stroll! Fu Xun's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, Sister Mu is nearby! If it weren't for the fact that the prince of Fu Guo insisted that I go, I would have gone to find her! Well, you can go see the place for me first! Bai Yanxiao said in surprise, and immediately turned around and wrote down the address.

"Good!" Fu Xun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh, by the way, I hung out yesterday and bought you a dress, and I saw you a few days ago in men's clothes." Fu Xun took out a set of white clothes after himself, but only to see the white smile in red clothes was extremely moving, and he couldn't help but stiffen, "Huh? Xiaobai, where did you get this dress, the red color is very flattering to you! ”

Bai Yanxiao smiled slightly and took the white clothes in Fu Xun's hand: "Great, today are all courtiers and generals, I can't dress so flamboyantly, thank you!" ”

Fu Xun touched his head and raised his eyebrows and smiled, a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with pride.

After Fu Xun left, Bai Yanxiao took off the red clothes on his body, folded them carefully, stroked the delicate lines of the red clothes with his fingertips, and a trace of sweetness flashed in his eyes, but he still put it away and changed it into a light white gauze dress.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the account, Bai Yanxiao walked out, Gu Beiyu stood outside the account and saw Bai Yanxiao change his clothes, raised his eyebrows slightly, but remained silent.

Bai Yanxiao looked at Gu Beiyu's eyes and explained, "Today are all courtiers, so they are dressed lightly. ”

Gu Beiyu nodded slightly and did not speak.

"Why, the two of them are reluctant to part even for this little time?" Gu Beiyuan, who came over at some point, said deliberately, "I heard that Princess Ling liked you very much yesterday, Ah Yu?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Yanxiao and Gu Beiyu were both pale.

"It's getting late, it's time to go to the feast." Gu Beiyu answered the question.

Gu Beiyuan smiled wickedly and smugly.

Fu Xun came to the southeast of Zhouji City ten miles according to the address written by Bai Yanxiao, but he didn't see the bamboo house. Fu Xun was stunned, carefully scanned the surroundings, there was only a forest, and walked along the woods, but still found nothing.

"Guest, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" A voice came from behind him.

Fu Xun turned around and saw a tea house, he couldn't help but be stunned, and clearly remembered that there were no buildings there just now, could it be that he was dazzled?

"Guest, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" The middle-aged man with half-white hair in the teahouse asked again.

Fu Xun hesitated for a moment, it was impossible for a teahouse to appear out of thin air, he must have not seen it clearly, so he walked over: "Let's have a cup of tea, by the way, shopkeeper, is there a bamboo house nearby?" ”

"Bamboo house? You see how can I have such an elegant place here" The middle-aged man handed over a cup of tea, "Childe, this place is desolate, I see that you are dressed extraordinary, what are you doing here looking for this?" ”

"It's just a friend's request." Fu Xun took a sip of tea, obviously surprised, "Shopkeeper, your tea is different from other places!" ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "The water for boiling tea was brought back by me from the spring in the deep mountains, and it is naturally different from other places. ”

"No wonder there's a sweet and refreshing taste, I see." Fu Xun exclaimed.

"That Childe has to continue to search, there will be many Orion traps in the future, Childe should be careful." The middle-aged man kindly reminded.

"Nope." Fu Xun lowered his eyes in frustration and returned in vain.

When Fu Xun walked away, a purple cloth came out and looked faintly in the direction where Fu Xun had gone.

The man picked up the teacup that Fu Xun had drunk just now and handed it to the woman in purple: "Miss Mu, this son is very good-looking, I am afraid that he will have a great background, but you see, this test water is pale and does not show anything wrong." ”

A slender hand picked up the teacup and looked at it carefully, and the moment it touched the teacup, the teacup became clear, which looked very weird, and the tea changed from shallow to dark.

Mu Wanci said with a faint restrained look: "What often seems ordinary is unusual." ”

"Then he will be the same as last time, the person who Gu Yannian?" The man asked.

"If Gu Yannian can find out this place and wants to threaten Ah Yan with me, he won't just send this person. The water I developed can only measure whether a person's mood is pure, and it can't measure his intention, if I guess correctly, he may be a friend of Ah Yan. Mu Wanci said slowly.

"And if you look for it next time?"

"Ah Yan has such a person around me, I am not very relieved. You send someone to keep an eye on Ah Yan and make sure she's well. Mu Wanzi said.

"Ahem......" There was a coughing sound in the room, as if trying to suppress it. Mu Wanci was taken aback and hurriedly walked in.

The banquet was held in the courtyard of the officials in the city of Zhouji, and the people who arrived were all local officials, the old people and generals of the Gu clan, and even the singers and dancers invited all famous figures in the city, and the scene was naturally much larger than before.

Bai Yanxiao sat quietly beside Gu Beiyu, listening to the officials who didn't know complimenting the Fu brothers and sisters, but he felt extremely bored, and got up and wanted to go out to breathe.

A whispered reminder came from the side: "Don't go far." ”

"Well, it's just breathable." Bai Yan smiled and nodded, and quietly left the table.

Fu An, who was sitting on the other side, watched Bai Yanxiao walk away, bowed his head and poured a glass of wine.

There is a high platform in the annex, which can take in the street view of the Halberd City. Facing the color of the twilight, Bai Yanxiao slowly climbed to the high platform. The vendors in the city were closing their stalls and returning home, and the faces of passers-by showed a tired look. The sunset fell on Bai Yanxiao, the wind blew up his long hair, and from a distance, the white figure was quiet and elegant.

Behind him, Fu stared quietly.

Feeling the gaze, Bai Yan turned back with a smile, and saw that it was Fu An who smiled and nodded. In the backlight, Bai Yanxiao pulled the corners of his mouth, and the slanting sun shone on his body, which was incredibly beautiful. Fu An was shocked.

Walking up the stairs, Fu An stood side by side beside Bai Yanxiao and also looked at the people of Zhou Halberd City: "What is the white girl thinking?" ”

"I'm wondering how many people have seen the hardships of this people while the princes and nobles are drinking and having fun." Bai Yan said lightly.

"There is only higher ambition above power, and when the world has tasted the temptation of power, it is seldom to look back at the suffering of the people. If those in power are not reassured, the people will not be at ease. Fu An said.

Hearing this, Bai Yanxiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Your Highness doesn't blame me for judging the power?" ”

"Am I to blame?" Fu An smiled softly, "In this world, people who can tell each other honestly must be people worth befriending." What's more, what the white girl said is what many people want to say but can't. Fu An said.

"It's a pity that Xiao Guo is eyeing the tiger now, and the world is in danger." Bai Yan sighed with a smile.

"There are not a few heroes in the world, but they are scattered like quicksand, sometimes war can produce heroes, if they are used well, they will gather sand into a tower, indestructible. Only when there is nothing can we gather. Fu An said, the indifference between his eyebrows faded, and a domineering spirit emerged.

"His Royal Highness was born in the royal family must be a delicate heart, if he can have this opinion, he will definitely be a bright monarch one day." Bai Yanxiao judged.

"The white girl is different from any woman I've ever seen." Fu An said, "The world only sees me indifferent, only you see my ambition." Fu An's eyes were gloomy, and his face was amazed.

"I would like to see the day when His Highness gets what he wants, and gives the world a prosperous world." Bai Yanxiao turned around and said seriously.

Fu An was obviously shocked, and looked at Bai Yan deeply and smiled for a long time: "An, you must live up to what the white girl said." ”

The wind blew and carried the boy's voice into the earth. This promise has changed the fate of many people.

"Master, it's time to go back." Fu An's guards on the side came looking for him.

Fu An took off his cloak and couldn't help but put it on for Bai Yanxiao: "It's windy, Bai Girl go back early." ”

Bai Yan smiled and was stunned.

The sun faded, the moonlight began to rise, Bai Yanxiao walked down from the high platform, passed through the cloister and then bypassed a house, because it was dark, gradually could not find the way to come, for a while in the courtyard could not go out, simply wandered around.

"You keep an eye on Fu Ling and report it at any time." Bai Yanxiao probed and heard a familiar voice, but couldn't remember who it was. Rounding a corner, I saw a person dressed as a maid quietly walking into the courtyard. And Bai Yanxiao probed to find it again, and then he faced a pair of cloudy eyes. It's Gu Beiyuan.

Bai Yanxiao hurriedly retreated, but it was too late, Gu Beiyuan quickly grabbed Bai Yanxiao and blocked her in front of her, and smiled evilly: "So afraid of me? ”

Bai Yanxiao subconsciously took a step back, wanting to break free from Gu Beiyuan.

"Don't be afraid, do you think I'm still interested in you? Don't be delusional, just with your face, I'm afraid even Ah Yu will dislike it. Gu Beiyuan stretched out his hand to touch the scar on Bai Yanxiao's face, Bai Yanxiao turned his head sideways and dodged in disgust: "Don't touch me!" ”

"The backbone is quite hard!" Gu Beiyuan looked at Bai Yan with interest and smiled, "But master, I don't have time to entangle with you today, but I can take you to see something fun, let's go!" Saying that, Gu Beiyuan rudely clasped a white smile and led her to the corner of another side courtyard.

From afar, Bai Yanxiao saw Fu Ling standing in the courtyard, looking at him as if he was waiting for someone.
