CHAPTER XIII

"Second brother?" Qi Chi saw Yijiang's side face, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Yijiang did not react that the person she shouted was herself, but was squeezed out of the door by the officials who rushed up. When Qi Chi wanted to see it clearly, he had disappeared from her sight.

"Qi Chi." When the princess heard the cry and turned back suddenly, she had already missed Yijiang's trace. She frowned and grabbed Qi Chi's hand without a trace. "Is that him?"

Qi Chi nodded.

Isn't he ...... already dead?

The princess's hand trembled slightly, muttered to herself, and covered her lips with her hand again, and did not dare to spit out the rest of the sentence.

Qi Chi was also very excited, but there was a deep disappointment in his eyes and he fell silent. "Maybe...... It's just that I read it wrong. ”

"Nope. He has always been cunning, and the national teacher has said that whoever dies cannot die. There is no reason why this kind of person who has been suffering for thousands of years will disappear silently. The princess took Qi Chi's hand, her voice trembling a little.

Qi Chi lowered his eyes. "The second brother has always doted on the princess like a sister, if it is really him, there is no reason not to come to see us after learning the news of the princess and his relatives."

The princess also fell silent, followed the instructions of the official into the room, and then waved Qi Chi to close the door. "Perhaps...... Is he a last resort? ”

"Princess Xia Qi." Qi Chi took off the princess's hat and couldn't bear to look at her expression.

"Anyway, Luoyang is so small. If it's really him, we'll meet sooner or later. At that time, it would be good to ask what happened. Xia Qi sighed deeply, and her expression became resolute, as if the weakness of that moment had never existed. I also came to Chu with my mission. ”

Different from the depression in the inn room and the busyness outside the room, those who are squeezed out of the door will also have a leisurely appearance.

"Compared to those guys in the Ministry of Rites, this princess is a smart person." He also winked at Chen Ping, "If you burn your body for a meaningless and time-wasting perfunctory communication, resulting in a bad state and making a fool of yourself on a formal occasion, it is better to give up these false courtesies and take a good rest." ”

After all, the princess is now the representative of the countries of the Western Regions, and her body is much more important than the courtesy.

"The general ordered that there should be no problems with the princess's guards." Chen Ping's face was a little hesitant. "Now that the states and counties have disobeyed the imperial court, the general wants to take this opportunity to unite with the Western Regions to deter the princes. If something happens to the princess at this time, not to mention the enmity with the Western Regions, I am afraid that the first person to be held accountable is the general. This matter must be guarded against. ”

"Actually, it's not difficult to prevent it, after all, Brother Chen has already arranged it." He smiled indifferently. "But according to the boy, the princess's room is not far from the cellar in a straight line, but the floor is different. If the cellar is filled with water and food, there is a mechanism on it, and the mechanism can only be opened from the outside, otherwise it can only be opened from the inside. In this way, coupled with the guards arranged for the princess, it should be considered a complete law. ”

Under this arrangement, no matter what happened, the princess would have time to escape to the cellar, and not to make trouble while she was in danger.

"That's it." Chen Ping clenched his fist with his right hand and slapped his left hand. "I'll let them prepare."

Chen Ping didn't wait for him to react, and hurriedly turned back to the post station, leaving Yijiang to swallow the remaining half of the sentence silently.

Unless...... The general himself is not protected.

"Probably not like that......" he thought for a moment.

If the general is unable to protect himself, I'm afraid he won't care about the life or death of a princess from the Western Regions, right?

Yijiang glanced at the crowd gathered around the post house, walked around himself, yawned, and returned to the General's Mansion.

Compared to Princess Xia Qi in the Western Regions, he would rather go back to see Mingxiang.

made up his mind, and walked slowly back to the guest house of the General's Mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard with his front foot, he saw Ming Xiang standing on the side looking at him and smiling.

"Why are you waiting here?" It's going to be a little weird, too.

Ming Xiang bowed. "Your lord, you have a guest."

"Guest?" He also shook his head for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a figure in green clothes leaning lazily on the cushion of the chaise longue in the courtyard.

Jun Mu's green silk was loosely tied up with strips of cloth of the same color, and the rest of it was draped behind him. There was a guqin in front of him, his posture was relaxed, and the slender peach blossom looked at Xiang Yijiang. If it weren't for the gentleness and indifference reflected in the depths of his pupils, which diluted the enchantment brought by his facial features, I am afraid that it would be difficult to distinguish even gender. Contrary to Yijiang's unruliness and cunning, the first feeling he gave people was peace of mind and relief, so that Ming Xiang, who met for the first time, couldn't help but have some good feelings and did not deliberately avoid it.

He squatted in the air with his raised foot, and he spent half a minute thinking seriously about whether to walk in or turn around and go out as soon as he pretended not to see anything.

"Being released by a pigeon is also a very novel experience." Jun Mu smiled and plucked the strings with his hand. "It's been a month."

Yijiang smiled awkwardly, lowered his feet, and walked over to him and sat down.

"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings."

"Speak human words." Jun Mu's expression did not change, but Yijiang's intuition told him that it was always right to admit his mistake first at this time.

"Yang Jing killed my benefactor, and as soon as I ran to him to take revenge in a hurry, I forgot about making an appointment with you." He also smiled, asked the little guy to go out to make a pot of wine, and took out the bamboo flute hanging from Jun Mu's waist with his backhand.

"Or ...... Playing the first flute to make amends? ”

He put the bamboo flute to his mouth, tried a few notes, and then played it 'woo'.

The crisp flute sound comes out tactfully, and the calm and melodious melody secretly hides the jumps and secret coincidences. When the tone changes sharply, the flute brings out the style of its owner, interspersed with ambiguous bars, which at first glance may sound very deep, but one can't help but feel that the piper has a grandstanding taste.

The corners of Ming Xiang's mouth twitched. Yijiang's flute was not in tune at all, so she didn't hear what kind of music the other party was playing.

Jun Mu chuckled, his hand fluctuating at will. The strings sounded neatly, and the sound of the piano rose flat, quickly catching up with the flute of Yijiang.

The calm sound of the piano catches the flute like Sahuan, and the two tones are intertwined, which should merge into a third plausible tune. The wind blew through the willows, and the soldiers waited for the camp, each telling their wishes that they could be reunited with their families when the war was over. But no one noticed the faint murder hidden in this calm.

"It's an ambush on all sides." Ming Xiang muttered to himself. If there is no sound of Jun Mu's qin, Yijiang's flute music is simply nowhere to be found, and the cheerful style of music makes people completely unable to think of ambushes and wars.

But on second thought, if it had been discovered before the ambush, how could this song come about?

"I have never heard of such a terrible ambush on all sides in my life." Jun Mu sighed, and said a rare poisonous sentence, ending the end of the music. "Where are you making amends, you are warning me: if you don't want to hear such a bad tune, don't bother with you."

"Since you can still hear that it is an ambush from all sides, it means that I am not bad at blowing." Yijiang smiled and poured Jun Mu a glass of wine, not knowing what he was thinking.

He sighed suddenly. "A song paints all thirty springs, and the tired bones are used as a hero's grave. In the past, the magnificent rivers and mountains were only famous. ”

Jun Mu chuckled and replied casually. "Shelter is not limited to life and death, shelter is not stained by wind and rain." His eyes seem to be as deep as he can penetrate people's hearts, and when he looks at Yijiang, he always feels familiar for no reason.
