On the third day of the ninth month of the second year of Changning, a fire in the bamboo horse post in the northeast of Miaojiang finally burned all the air and slowly lifted the dark and foul curtain. It was also this fire that finally pushed Miao Jiang to the forefront.

Many years later, when people revisited the Southern Tang Rebellion, they were amazed by the cascading effect of the fire, but they didn't know that it was just an accident - a man, forced to survive, kicked over the candlestick, and that's it. Maybe he himself would not have thought that a small act inadvertently back then stirred up the bloody storm of the entire continent.

This is just the beginning, but not the beginning.

Everyone sat paralyzed in the dense forest opposite the post station, looking at the house that was already on fire, and their thoughts were different.

Gu Rou sat in Ah Ying's arms, slowly breathing, Lu, Zhou, Yue, and Ling still didn't wake up, and Gu Ying was nowhere to be found. The uncle sat on the other side with a small raindrop, muttering that he couldn't hear what he was saying.

Li Tian commanded Ge Qing in a low voice, and then Ge Qing disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Gu Rou slowly straightened up, her face softened slightly. Lin Ziyu's poisonous palm wound just now was not shallow to her, but fortunately, most of the toxins were absorbed by the Gu King, and what she suffered was purely internal injuries, and she still needed to be slowly adjusted.

"The girl is really handsome, I really admire and admire~" Ah Ying looked suspicious, looking at Li Tian, who suddenly squatted next to the two of them, with a sneering face, as if the gaze outside the window just now was just an illusion, and this was his true face.

Gu Rou ignored him, he just laughed there, and reached out to touch Gu Rou's wrist.

Before she could catch it, Gu Rou quietly flipped her wrist, turned around, moved far away, and slapped Li Tian's claws fiercely.

"Your kung fu is not bad" Gu Rou didn't glance at him, and replied lightly.

Li Tian retracted his hand, rubbed it and laughed, and said: "Then where can you compare to the girl, you have a lot of internal strength~"

"You are good at swordsmanship" Gu Rou glanced at her eyes slightly, and her tone was calm.

"You're good at Gu arts" Li Tian smiled and continued.

"You have done a good job" Gu Rou turned her eyes and smiled.

"You have adapted it," Li Tian smiled even more.

"Thank you" Gu Rou paused slightly, smiled, and slowly spit out two words.

"Hmm... You're welcome" Li Tian also paused a little, threw a wink, and replied briskly.

In the first game, it was a tie.

"Where's the girl?" Li Tian looked innocent.

"Miao Jiang Wu Gu is famous all over the world. Where are you from?" Gu Rou replied, her eyebrows curled. The implication is that in this world, most of the people who know witchcraft are from Miaojiang, and everyone in the entire mainland knows it, even women, children and children. This is to ridicule Li Day's inability to observe words and feelings, and to be unheard.

"My ancestral home is Haozhou, and I now live in Jiangning," Li Yan pretended not to understand Gu Rou's words, and replied seriously.

"Jiangning is a good place, are the people in Jiangning so naïve and ignorant" Gu Rou pretended to think, this was to mock Li Ri for being stupid.

"It's as handsome and chic as me~ The girl should go out to see more, she lives in a small town, and she will get sick if she stays for a long time" Li Tian raised his head slightly, his eyes were like stars. This is an irony that Gu Rou is short-sighted. Counterattack.

Gu Rouying smiled, "Son's surname."

"His surname is Li, his name is Li Day, and his words are idle! Born on March 26, this year's two..."These two people you say, I say a word, every word, but there is a hidden blade, I don't know who offended whom, just know each other, and they are barred, just like being born with hatred."

On the side, Ah Ying finally couldn't stand it, and wanted to pour out Li Day's information as if pouring water.

"Ouch, Xiao Ming'er, don't you be so direct, Sister Rou will be shy~" Before Ah Ying finished yelling, Li Tian interrupted, her voice was euphemistic and long, like water tenderness, but it was really numb in Ah Jin's ears. Ah Ying couldn't help but frown.

Gu Rou didn't pay attention to Li Day's disgusting voice, frowned slightly, stretched out again, and said in a sudden realization: "Oh, no wonder." In our poor and remote place, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally looks down on us. But..."Gu Rou deliberately prolonged her voice, "Your pomp is really big, as soon as you come, it's a fire~ The meeting gift is the same as your person, and it's also very unique..."

Gu Rou raised her head and looked directly at Li Day, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "I, Gu Rou, am still young compared to you, and I can't be called a sister."

At the end of the words, the meaning is cold, full of ridicule, full of hostility.

Gu Rou spoke unhurriedly and eloquently throughout the sentence, directly satirizing Li Day's strong martial arts, but he did not make a move to control the enemy. If he could lift his precious fingers early, at least he wouldn't let the entire bamboo horse post burn down.

He has all the skills in his body, but he is calm, and he sits back and doesn't care about it to this extent, which is really disgusting, and he is still the prince of a country.

In the past few years, Miao Jiang has been calm on the surface, but in fact, there are hidden crises everywhere, and various domestic and foreign forces are intricately intertwined and entrenched here. Although Miao Jiang belongs to the Tang Dynasty, it has already reached a consensus with the authorities and has always been in charge of its own governance, as long as it does not involve national interests and border disputes, the imperial court will generally not interfere.

But now, a fire and the burning of the bamboo horse post undoubtedly put the Miaojiang problem on the bright side, for people to point fingers and judge. This is not only about the situation of Miaojiang's autonomy, but also affects the legal policy that Datang is revising, and will also change the views and mentality of other countries on the issue of Miaojiang's ownership.

The small post station is the last barrier to the ancient village of Miaojiang in Yueqi Mountain, and a fire will eventually expose the village to the eyes of the world.

Li Tian was silent, and the two looked at each other.

With a "bang", the cold sword was suddenly drawn from the scabbard, instantly cutting through the short period of peace after the tension, and the air was suddenly filled with a chill.

As soon as Qian Hao came back, he heard Gu Rou ridiculing and ridiculing his master. In his heart, the master is the smartest and most courageous person in the world, no matter what he does, he has a reason, if anyone dares to speak out and challenge authority, it is impossible to get along with him Qian Hao!

said it was late, it was fast, and before Qian Hao got close, the long sword was already out of the sheath.

The air froze instantly.

Ah Yu's eyes flashed, although his face did not change, in fact, his heart was already pounding. Although he has known Li Tian for many years and generally understands his character, he is the prince of a country after all, and he will definitely not be able to get over his face if he is ridiculed and ridiculed like this. But the person who said these words was Sister Rou, which made her really in a dilemma.

Ah Ying looked at the two of them, one was expressionless, and the other was slightly tender, I was really afraid that our own people would fight in the next second.

Li Tian was stunned for a while, and immediately regained his smile, staring at Gu Rou's eyes opposite, without turning his head, and said straightly: "Eh, put the sword down, your own people are still dancing knives and guns, which makes people laugh a lot."

"We didn't see it, we didn't hear it!" The uncle under the tree on the side immediately turned his head in amusement, and plugged his ears with a gesture, and Xiaoyudi was also busy doing it, and the two of them acted in unison, which was a little funny.

Seeing that Qian Hao hadn't put it down, Ge Qing immediately stepped forward, pressed Qian Hao's hand holding the sword hard, and glared at him. This kid still doesn't understand the master's heart, and he does things like a tiger.

"Sister Rou, you go and rest for a while, when someone comes from the village, you have to be busy for a while" Ah Ying whispered to Gu Rou, what happened to Sister Rou today, when she saw Li Tian and the two of them, she choked for a while, and if she continued like this, it would be okay.

Gu Rou responded, stood up to herself, walked to Gu Yue and sat down.

The moonlit night is deserted, and the dense forest is dashing.

They didn't make a fire, so it was better to be cautious if the other party would return with another group of people.

As soon as Qian Hao came back, he reported what had just happened, he followed the two people all the way to the north, the two of them were very good, he didn't dare to get too close to the ground, until the other party dodged into a dense forest, he stopped.

Suspecting that the other party was cheating, he waited for a while before stepping forward, only to find that he had long since disappeared.

"Northside?" Ah Ying was puzzled, "Is it really from Nanping?" ”

Li Tian shook his head and rubbed his eyes, still in the same tone as he was talking to Gu Rou just now: "Xiao Yan'er, don't think about it so simply, people are just taking a dart, it doesn't mean anything." ”

After that, he glanced at Ah Ying and said, "Look, aren't you also wearing a Miao suit, but are you from Miao Jiang?" ”

Ah Ying thought about it, yes, if it was so simple to let people know their identity, this spy would be incompetent enough. However, why blame Nanping? Nanping has always advocated harmony and harmony, although it is a small country, but a hundred years of peace, Nanping has been the head of the country between the countries, it is not inferior.

Li Yan seemed to know how to read minds, leaned forward, supported his arms on his legs, turned his head to look at Ah Ying and said: "I don't know if it's to blame, Xiao Yan'er, don't think about it too much, these things, you can tell the elders of the village truthfully, as for how to deal with it, it is not something you and I can control, it is enough to hand it over to those smart people" After speaking, Li Yan laughed.

The smile on that face, reflected in the moonlight silhouette, was soft and bright, like a lamp in the distance, ethereal but real.

In the past six years, the two have kept in touch by letter, and the person in the letter is like a teacher, who can always point you in the direction when you are in doubt. Now that we meet, the person in front of me coincides with the figure in my memory, the same, but there is no longer the same.

The two of them get along very naturally, and they are as free as when they communicate.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, how did you become like this when you became the prince, you always greet you with a smile, I'm not used to it" Ah Ying pursed her lips and turned her eyes to look at him.

Li Tian raised his eyebrows, looked at Ah Ying strangely, and said funny: "Haven't I always been like this, I haven't changed much, and besides, the prince is not easy to be, if you like it, you should be the best" Li Tian spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, looking unimpressed.

It is estimated that he Li Tian dares to say this all over the world, and how many people covet this position, so he doesn't care. If you like it, you can do it, then I guess he has nothing to do.

Li Tian smiled and said: "What's wrong with greeting each other with a smile, it seems that I'm more amiable and gentle, what's not used to it, we've known each other for so long, you're not used to it" While saying, Li Tian also gently pushed Ah Ying, looking shy, and threw a flattering eye and smashed it on the head.

Ah Yu was immediately smashed to the ground and dizzy, dodged and opened Li Tian's hand tightly, and moved a step to the side, staring at him like staring at a fool.

"Aren't you in a hurry to go back to the palace, why do you still stop by to see me, anyway, you will see me sooner or later in Jiangning" Ah Ying looked at Li Day's plain-looking face with a puzzled expression.

"You didn't tell me that you were going back to Jiangning, and I don't know how long it will take to see you again, anyway, I'll come by the way" Li Tian leaned back, folded his hands behind his head, and lifted Erlang's legs.

"Come back, go back, you haven't been to Jiangning yet, I'll take you back and eat something delicious!" Li Tian flew another wink.

Ah Ying immediately wrinkled her nose, shrunk her neck and said: "This time I will go to Jiangning to live for a long time, and it is estimated that I will not return to Miaojiang for a while."

"That's a good relationship, it just so happens that I will live for a long time, and I won't go back to Jinzhou for a while. From then on, in Jiangning, you will follow me and ensure that you eat and drink spicy food! Li Tian had no heart and no lungs, and he was full of pride, so he almost stuffed all the gold, silver and jewelry directly to Ah Yin.

Ah Ying instantly moved towards him, raised his face and asked, "You won't go back to Jinzhou, you have finally started to enjoy your aristocratic life~".

Li Tian stretched out his hand and put his arm around Ah Yan's shoulder, very naturally, crossed Erlang's legs, and said very uncleily: "Hmph, when did I not enjoy it?" People, you have to know how to enjoy, otherwise this day and earth will be so boring, do you say ~".

Ah Ying pinched his hand, twisted a handful of the meat on Li Tian's waist, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, you will enjoy it the most, if something happens in Jiangning in the future, I will directly throw out your name."

Li Tian felt a pain in his waist, shrank back, twisted his eyebrows, and wailed: "Xiao Yan'er, you don't have to be light or heavy, I don't know that I feel sorry for me." There are so many girls outside, I just think about you, and look at you again, how unconscionable" said and pretended to raise his sleeves to wipe a little tear.

Ah Ying laughed and was speechless.

Qian Hao, who was far away from each other, glanced at the two of them, and stabbed Ge Qing and said, "Brother Qing, do you say that is our future crown princess?"

Ge Qing glanced at it and said indifferently: "Take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about the master's affairs", Qian Hao glanced at his mouth, but he heard Ge Qing say unhurriedly: "But... I can't say for sure."

Qian Hao was immediately interested when he heard this, and continued to ask, "What do you say?" I see, my master seldom treats any girl so well."

"Then you say, which girl is not good to the master" Ge Qing leaned against the tree with his arms folded on his chest.

Qian Hao searched hard in his mind, but he really didn't come up with it, and scratched his head: "It's true, the master is very good to everyone..."

Ge Qing glanced at Qian Hao, who was full of questions, walked up slowly, put his arm around his shoulders and said: "So, you kid don't think about these things all day long, it's better to practice hard with this kung fu, I think you've been too idle recently, are you going back to Jiangning, your mind is flying!" ”

"No, don't I care about the master, the master is out all the year round, and the boss is not small, but there has always been a lack of a hostess in our house! Brother Qing, aren't you curious and not looking forward to it? Qian Hao tugged on Ge Qing's arm, his eyes shining.

Ge Qing picked up his arm and pressed Qian Hao's head vigorously, looking like he hated iron but not steel, and said, "You're getting more and more energetic, aren't you, go over there and see if there's any movement!" ”

Qian Hao was in pain, and walked towards the depths of the woods with a pouting mouth.

Ge Qing looked back at the two of them, and under the moonlight, they were very close to each other, occasionally chuckling, occasionally whispering, as if there was something to say.

Ge Qing didn't know what kind of intersection the two had or what kind of story had happened, but in just a few short hours, he could see that the master really liked this girl.

Years of bloody fighting, from the front line to the rear, all the time, every string is tight, but Ge Qing feels that the atmosphere at the moment is relaxed and quiet.
