The next day, in the Shinomiya Mountain Blessing Garden, Gen was walking slowly along the long and winding corridor.

"The snow scene in Jiangnan is also good." He raised his eyes to see that the red plum blossoms in the garden were blooming, and the plain white of the snow was particularly bright, and suddenly remembered a very good word written by the Central Plains, "The jade bone is sad and misty, and the ice posture has its own fairy wind".

"Childe beware." The attendant behind him stepped forward, but was stopped by him waving his hand.

Xuan was wearing a splendid cloak embroidered with auspicious clouds in light blue, and his black hair was tied up, and he stood under one of the best red plum trees and looked at it for a while, stretched out his hand, picked out the most luxuriant plum branches, and broke them down, and then went around to another tree with great interest.

I walked around the garden for a while, and when I returned to the porch, I was already full of brilliant and gorgeous plum branches, Xuan lowered his head slightly, and the faint fragrance came faintly.

"Childe, the third master of the Yao family has come out." Someone came to report.

"Oh." Xuan responded, as if he didn't care, chose a clean place under the porch, and carefully selected the flower branches in his hand.

For a moment they all knelt beside him, and no one spoke. After a while, someone came to report it.

"Yao Sanye is still waiting for his son, saying that he has something to say."

"Hmm." Xuan still didn't move, picking and choosing in his hands, and his feet were already red.

After about half a cup of tea, it was a maid talking back and forth.

"Childe, Miss Qingfeng wants to see you."

"Nope." This time, Hyun answered cleanly. Now, the flower branch he held in his hand was only half of its original size, and the flowers fell on top of each other at his feet.

He looked finally satisfied, got up and walked back slowly, and the servants followed closely behind him.

Xuan took two steps forward, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head sideways to a waiter beside him and said: "Go, tell Yao Sanye, what I said, what he also heard, do things well, I am confident and keep my promises, don't be verbose anymore." ”

The attendant bowed respectfully and turned away.

Xuan tightened the cloak on his body, looked at the plum blossoms in his hand again, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"What a greedy guy."

He muttered to himself, not knowing who he was talking about.

Yao Qianli stood in the courtyard where the cold wind was shouting and waited for a long time, and she actually knew it in her heart. He sighed slightly, and only handed it to the small building where Qingfeng was reluctantly.

Fighting horses and walking in the forest on a snowy night, with a cold wind blowing in his ears, Yao Qianli only felt indescribably cold.

I haven't seen it for many years, the charming and lovely girl has become a withered and sallow candle, even the gentle eyes of the autumn water are gray and dull into a pool of stagnant water, and the clear and graceful voice can only be a wisp of gossamer, which should have been the most abundant and rich age, and such a prominent birth, but she ended up so broken.

Yao Qianli's subordinates squeezed the reins tightly. The tingling of emotions crept up his cheeks, and his eyes filled with tears when they were neutral.

blame yourself, as well as those greed and desires, if you don't have to compete with your brothers and pull out the many family disputes back then, how can you harm the innocent Feng'er, let alone the family now!

He remembered the woman who was hoarse and crying, trembling like a thin leaf, fragile and thin, she was blind with a pair of eyes, but tears were rolling continuously, she was still so smart, she guessed Zhai Xuan's intentions at once, and desperately begged him to stay away from the terrible struggle from his family for generations, let go of her brother, and live his own stable life.

But at this point, where is there any stable life, whether it is him or Feng'er, they have been stirred into this storm, even though the world is vast, but what is left for them is a dead end with chaos everywhere, nowhere to go and no way to retreat, they have nowhere to avoid!

Yao Qianli felt miserable in her heart, and understood that the two brothers Zhai Ke and Zhai Xuan were ruthless and cold-hearted people, and neither of them would be willing to take half a step back for the sake of the little Qingfeng, and he was standing in the middle right now. Killing Zhai Ke can save Feng'er, judging from Feng'er's already guessing Zhai Xuan's plan, the two of them will be in love and hate in the future; But if you don't kill Zhai Ke, you won't be able to save Feng'er, and it will be difficult to exonerate the Yao family.

Yao Qianli was not a selfish and cheerful person, but he was stirred up by the current predicament, mixed with Qianshao's death, and years of remorse and old grudges came up, as if he was going to knead and crush his whole person.

Because the Yao family is now convicted and imprisoned, Yao Qianli can also be regarded as a criminal who escaped, and he can't go back to his original house, but fortunately, Mengqiu still has a small house outside Duancheng, and not many people know, so he temporarily settled there.

As soon as the incident of Yuhuanlou came out, Mengqiu couldn't return to the bright side at all, but his heart was relaxed, and he didn't have to be that twisted little minister.

When Yao Qianli pushed the door in, Mengqiu was sitting on the ground, fiddling with an iron whip in her hand, and a pot of wine was warm on the table.

"Third Master." He called Yao Qianli, but saw that Yao Qianli's face was pale, and he sat on the ground after walking two steps, ignoring him, his eyes were dumbfounded.

Mengqiu tightened her eyebrows, and was about to ask a question, but she saw Yao Qianli suddenly laughing miserably, grabbing the pot of warm wine like crazy and pouring it into her mouth, and poured it into her mouth in two clicks. He shook it hard, and the flask slammed into the pillar and shattered.

Mengqiu loves to drink spirits, and his house is full of wine. Yao Qianli smashed the wine jug, and quickly rushed to the corner of the house, tore open the seal, lifted the wine jar and poured it in one go.

Mengqiu was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed over to snatch the wine jar in his hand, who knew that Yao Qianli seemed to be crazy, hit him hard, pushed him away, turned around and opened another wine jar and drank.

Mengqiu got up and went to pull him, but if he was not careful, the wine jar slipped from his hand and smashed on the ground, and there was a charcoal basin in the house, and the wine rose faster, and the house was full of the aroma of wine for a while.

In the end, it is a strong liquor for many years, although Yao Qianli often mingles in the Jiaofang wine shop, but he still gets drunk at once after drinking like this. His cheeks were flushed, and he didn't think enough to lie down and lick the remnants of wine that was still left at the mouth of the broken altar, but finally asked Mengqiu to pull it hard and pull it to the other corner of the room before giving up.

Since Mengqiu knew Yao Qianli, he only knew that he was an unruly noble son, and his whole body was casual and decent, how could he ever be so crazy and irrational, probably only because of that woman.

Mengqiu knew what Yao Qianli had done here, and the spices that stunned the lotus song were still offered by him. When Yao Qianli went out, she obviously had a hint of hope, why did she come back so decadent every other day?

After thinking about it, I also understood how those nobles and powerful people could be so easy to deal with. They don't know how many schemes are buried in their hearts, let alone disdain to be the prince of a country. He didn't approve of Yao Qianli's desperate move, but he knew that he had missed that woman for many years, and he could only fight this time, and it seemed that it would not work out after all.

Mengqiu sighed and straightened Yao Qianli, who had collapsed to the ground, but he suddenly smiled at himself. Yao Qianli's eyes are so beautiful, and the look of brilliance when she is drunk is the most brilliant.

"What do you have the third master's command?"

Mengqiu asked softly to Yao Qianli, but he just shook his head, and after a while, he began to flutter, Mengqiu knelt beside him, listening quietly, and the candlestick crackled......

When the sky slowly brightened, Yao Qianli sat up violently in a frightened dream, and had a splitting headache for a while. He held his head and woke up for a while, opened his mouth to call a few Mengqiu, but after a while, no one responded.

Yao Qianli raised her head, but saw a faint sunshine spread in a room, today is not a sunny day, there are thin clouds covering the sun. The candles in the candlesticks have burned out, and they are cold and the wax oil is stacked and clumped, and they are not in shape.

For no reason, he suddenly panicked, hurriedly got off the ground, and hurriedly walked around the rooms, but he didn't see Mengqiu anywhere. Yao Qianli said in his heart, maybe he went out, he always loved those swords, guns and halberds, and he didn't know if he went to the blacksmith shop again.

Exhaled a little, remembering yesterday's events, the boredom and confusion gradually came, and he just returned to the room in a depressed manner, but his body suddenly stagnated, he stretched out his hand and pressed his waist, and sure enough, the dagger given by Zhai Xuan was gone!

He hurriedly rubbed around, and tossed around the room, but there was nothing, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but jump suddenly. But I saw a page of paper on the small table on the low couch by the window, which was pressed with a paperweight, and it was flat and neat.

Mengqiu is gone, and so is the dagger.

He rushed to the front of Xiao Ji with two big strides, and sure enough, there was Mengqiu's handwriting on it.

"I hope that the son will get what he wants, and Mengqiu will go back when he goes."

Yao Qianli was shocked, and he froze on the spot as if he had been hit hard, and after a burst of cold on his head, he didn't feel anything.

Originally, after this Yuhuanlou, Yao Qianli had destroyed his documents for selling his body in front of Mengqiu, and now he is truly free. But something happened to the Yao family, and that night a servant came to his house to get people, but Mengqiu fought a heavy siege, rescued him, and placed him in his own house.

And now he wants to ...... again

Yao Qianli began to have a splitting headache, and couldn't help but squat down and hold her head tightly with both hands, how could Mengqiu know about this? He kept recalling, and his mind finally tore a hole in pain and chaos.

No, not to mention that the documents that arrested them are now posted everywhere, even Zhai Ke is by no means simple. Mengqiu went so rashly, it must be more than lucky.

Mengqiu was still a child when he first came to him, he had traveled around with him when he was free, and he was loyal when he grew up, and never missed a job, so many years Yao Qianli watched him grow up, little by little to get rid of the childishness of a child and become neat, steady and mature, he valued him, and felt sorry for him, knowing that his greatest wish was to be able to get rid of slavery and be free, and he saw that his wish was fulfilled, but ......

My own mistakes have caused so much suffering, and I must not drag it down any longer!

Yao Qianli turned around and galloped out of the courtyard gate, stepped on the horse's back and galloped towards Duancheng. But when he got near the gates, he took hold of the reins. Today, for some reason, the city gates are guarded, and the city walls are full of soldiers, and many people are constantly walking around the city, as if some big man has entered the city. At this time, the sun is high, the arrest documents posted on the edge of the city are still there, and the portrait is clearly visible, and it is impossible to steal into the end city in disguise.

Yao Qianli's heart was so anxious that he had been patrolling the place for a long time, but he had nothing to do, so he had to ride his horse and hide in the nearby dense forest to squat, in case Mengqiu came out, he could still answer one or two for him.

For a whole day, the city defense was tightly arranged, Yao Qianli investigated, but did not see Mengqiu's figure, and his heart became more and more anxious, and he wanted to find an opportunity to enter the city several times, but he had no chance. Finally, when the sun set, Yao Qianli finally saw from a distance that a carriage came out of the side gate surrounded by soldiers and headed north.

At this moment, he didn't care much about anything else, and kept his eyes firmly on the high wall of the end city in front of him, for fear of missing anyone.

The sun that had been hidden for a day finally set, and the snow began to fall unhurriedly again, Yao Qianli was already cold and stiff, but she was still in place, waiting for Mengqiu.

After another moment, the torches on the castle tower jumped, and the voices of people gradually began to rise, and it was time to change the guard. Yao Qianli knew that the defense of this matter was lax, and it was easiest to sneak in and out, so he raised all his energy and looked at the movement near the city tower. Finally, a figure flashed through the side door, staggered, and ran into the woods. Yao Qianli was anxious in her heart, and hurriedly followed the direction of the man.

There is no moon today, and the forest is even darker. Yao Qianli searched and listened carefully. After walking for a while, I finally heard a low cough sound not far away. The voice pressed on the pole, obviously trying to hide it, but it still overflowed.

Yao Qianli didn't sound right, this must have been injured, and her voice was so uncontrollable, heavy and heavy. His heart was churning even more, and his steps quickened, and he hurried two steps, but the voice suddenly disappeared.

This sudden silence is even more frightening, isn't it that people are useless, or are they in trouble?

Yao Qianli couldn't bear it anymore, and called Mengqiu in a low voice, but no one responded for a while. He had no choice but to continue searching, and was about to take two steps, but he heard a soft answer from someone very close in front of him.

"Childe ......" The voice was low and weak, Yao Qianli hoped in his heart, forcefully brushed away the horizontal branches and dense leaves under his feet, ran over, and finally found Mengqiu next to a mountain rock.

There was no light in the forest, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, as soon as Yao Qianli reached out and touched him, he felt him tremble, and when he retracted his hand, his fingertips were slippery and sticky, not blood or something.

Yao Qianli felt guilty, but seeing that Mengqiu was still motionless at this time, her heart sank even more, this injury must not be light.

"Mengqiu, how are you?" He was anxious to ask, but he did not dare to stretch out his hand rashly, for fear of touching his wound again.

"Childe, let's go!" Cold, Mengqiu suddenly spoke sharply, and suddenly flew out, only listening to a few sounds of "Kangkang", the swords were connected, and a string of faint sparks was stirred up in the dark night. Yao Qianli suddenly felt a weight on her body, and Mengqiu fell down fiercely.

"Bang", someone unscrewed the fire fold, and a faint light spread out in this small corner, Yao Qianli saw that the guard Fu Zhe beside Zhai Ke was standing coldly in front of them, and there were still dark curves on the blade of the sword in his hand.

He looked down and saw that Mengqiu in his arms was covered in blood and his breath was dying, but a pair of eyes stared at Fu Zhe in front of him fiercely, and he still held the dagger given by Zhai Xuan in his hand.

The three of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Yao Qianli saw that the matter was revealed, and Mengqiu was seriously injured again, but she was also calm. looked straight at Fu Zhe and said, "There's nothing to say at the moment, you can do it." ”

Fu Zhe didn't speak, his gaze moved from Yao Qianli's body to Mengqiu's body, and then to Yao Qianli again, and finally looked up and looked around, and suddenly sighed slightly.

Yao Qianli was puzzled, but she didn't ask. Fu Zhe stepped forward, pressed his sword against Mengqiu's neck, and looked at Yao Qianli.

"Third Master Yao asked this person to kill my son-in-law, but for Miss Qingfeng?" The head of his sword moved down to the vicinity of Mengqiu's heart, "Is the third master willing to do anything for the sake of my young lady?" ”

Although Yao Qianli knew Fu Zhe, he only knew that he had always followed Zhai Ke's side and hardly spoke, but he didn't expect to be so unexpected when he opened his mouth today.

Yao Qianli looked at him with her head raised and her eyes were wary and cold, but she nodded with certainty. For the sake of Feng'er, there is nothing that can't be done.

Fu Zhe took a deep breath, looked at Yao Qianli and continued: "Today's prince ordered me to take this person's life, and Fu Zhe must not disobey the master's order. As he spoke, the head of the sword used two more points, and it had already pierced Mengqiu's clothes, he glanced at Yao Qianli again, and his subordinates suddenly exerted force, and the sword head did not enter Mengqiu's chest, and he leaned over, lowered his body and quickly said in Yao Qianli's ear: "Go to Fuyuan!" ”

Yao Qianli was still stunned, but Fu Zhe had already turned back. He slowly lowered his head to look at Mengqiu in his arms. But I saw that he was silent, and he didn't even breathe...... Yao Qianli was sad and sad, but she still didn't give up on Mengqiu's snort, once or twice, it was still silent and cold.

"In the end, I hurt you, I hurt you!" Yao Qianli hugged Mengqiu's body tightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and her sad eyes turned over with grief, but she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

However, after only a moment, he suddenly heard Mengqiu gasping sharply, but he hadn't lost his breath yet, and although the sword wound on his chest was bleeding, it was finally missed by three points, and he couldn't die.

Yao Qianli suddenly came to her senses, her eyebrows tightened, she quickly picked up Mengqiu and turned away, placing him in a familiar Langzhong's house, she didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurried to Fuyuan.

"Really?" Xuan was sitting on the top of the room at the moment, and there was a red plum bottle on the small table at hand, and the snow-white and flawless white porcelain was shining with moist brilliance under the glowing candlelight. Next to the vase, there is also an open book, which is the "Peony Pavilion" that I read at the post house that day.

He fiddled with the lid of tea in his hand with one hand, making a slight noise. In the middle of the room was kneeling an attendant who had answered the conversation, bowing his head and waiting for his command.

"In the end, it has been a hundred years since everyone participated in supporting the emperor's heir, and the Song Gate is really intricately rooted, and there are three holes of cunning rabbits. Well, that's fine, and things are over a little faster. He turned to the kneeling man, his voice flat, "Let Qin Yun quickly put away the picks of the sea and clean himself." If this horse pawn surnamed Xu makes trouble as soon as possible, we can go back as soon as possible. ”

"Yes." The people below answered, and said, "Did Childe leave Fuyuan today to go out for a walk?" ”

Xuanhei's long sword eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were shining, "How can I go." After thinking about it, he said: "The snow scene is very beautiful today, ask someone to walk around with my sister and enjoy the snow scene." ”

The attendant received the order and was about to withdraw, but was stopped by Xuan again, "Hege will go with him." The people below didn't see him waving his hand, so they didn't dare to retreat at will, and still stood at the door with their heads down, and sure enough, after a while, they smiled and shook their heads, "That's it, someone prepared a pair of tranquilizers for her, and tonight's events will never wake her up." ”

Xuan looked sideways at the plum blossom, still bright and beautiful as it grew on the branches, he folded one and twisted it on his fingertips, and looked down at the words, this chapter is talking about Du Liniang's dream.
