"I also know that Brother Wang wants to make an article on me to deal with Liangguo, Sister Chen, willingly. ”

Xuan Chen ignored Beigong Mingye's expression.

"Brother Wang, do you still remember this half of the jade pendant?" Xuan Chen took it off his waist.

"Today, Sister Chen will return this to Brother Wang, Sister Chen only asks for one thing, Li Cong, no matter whether Brother Wang wants to let Li Cong's surname Ye or surname Gu in the future, I only ask Brother Wang to look at this jade pendant, not to seek glory and wealth, I only hope that Brother Wang can allow Li Cong to be safe for a lifetime. After Xuan Chen finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, holding the jade pendant in both hands.

Beigong Mingye took back the jade pendant and held it tightly in his hand.

"Lone promises you. Get up, it's cold on the ground. Beigong Mingye wanted to Fu Xuan Chen to get up and meet Xuan Chen's cold hand.

"On the seventh day of the first month, I will leave. Sister Chen," Xuan Chen choked, "Sister Chen, say goodbye to Brother Wang." Xuan Chen knocked deeply on the ground.

Xuan Chen got up slowly, and Beigong Mingye immediately supported him. After Xuan Chen got up, he bent his knees slightly and walked out, and Lian Bi hurriedly followed.

"Sister Chen. Beigong Mingye shouted.

Xuan Chen didn't look back, just nodded slightly, and still walked forward.

"Your Majesty. ”

Beigong Mingye also took off the jade pendant and rubbed it in his hand for a while, "Put it away." ”

Xuan Chen picked up a piece of magnolia that had fallen on the ground and put it in his cuffs.

"Madam, Master Hou has been in the study recently. ”

"I know. ”

"Everything is ready. ”

"Well, it's been counted several times. ”

"The list in the palace has been changed, and this time there is also the national teacher who escorts the lady away. ”

"Go and call Li Cong. ”

"Yes. ”

Lian Bi closed the door and quickly wiped her tears secretly.

Li Cong rushed to Xuanchen's courtyard, leaving Lian Bi far behind, after so long, his mother was finally willing to see someone.

"Cong'er. ”

"My mother will be gone in one day. Li Cong looked at the things that were packed up in the room.

"Come on. Xuan Chen took Li Cong's warm hand and sat on the chair.

"Cong'er put this away. ”

"This is a jade pendant from the king of heaven. ”

"Yes, you can put this half away. Keep wearing what you wear on your body, don't lose it. ”

"Mother. ”

"Do you have to remember what my mother told you today?"

Li Cong nodded.

"First, you have to remember that your mother is the eldest princess of the Northern Gu Dynasty, and your father is Wu Anhou, who is both a prince and a lord, and her status is precious, so you can't look down on yourself and let others bully you. Second, now that you are older, it is impossible for your father to see you by his side in advance, pay attention to everything, and have less contact with that side. If it is a matter of life, he will take the jade pendant and go into the palace to find the king. He promised his mother that he would keep you safe for the rest of your life. Also, the road of a military general is difficult, you must be cautious, you know?"

"My son got it. ”

"You are very smart, you can understand what your mother said, you have to plan for your future, your mother will write to you often. ”

"Tomorrow, you don't have to go outside to send it off, don't make your mother sad anymore, okay?"

Li Cong cried and nodded.

"Good boy. ”

It was late at night, and Xuan Chen was in a daze at the candle flame, and he didn't sleep all night.

Leaving early in the morning, Xuan Chen sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, and did not wait for the person he wanted to wait for when the hour came.

Ye Chu held a scented pill in his hand, and stood at the mouth of the alley watching the carriage that Xuan Chen was sitting in slowly pass by.

Without a word of rebuke and quarrel, the two drifted apart.

"Princess, get out of the carriage and rest. Yan Qing dismounted and helped Xuan Chen get out of the carriage.

Ling Xiaoyun and the envoy Xiaosu took Xiaozha to make tea.

"Princess, taste it, this is our unique tea in Liangguo. Ling Xiaoyun handed Xuan Chen a cup and then handed Lian Bi a cup.

"Bitter. Xuan Chen took a sip, and Lian Bi didn't dare to speak.

"It's a little bitter. ”

"It's been a long journey, and the princess can still eat. ”

"It's okay, it's just that I'm tired of the national teacher. ”

"Zhuqing's medical skills are really superb. ”

"The prince has a good reputation. ”

It took more than a month to walk from Beigucheng to Liangguo, and I walked half the way.

"Master Hou, Madame, I'm afraid I'm going to go to Liangguo in another month. ”

"I know. ”

Li Cong ran through the corridor with the letter, "Dad, my mother has written a letter back." ”

"Cong'er, look at it, Dad still has military affairs. ”

Li Cong took the letter and stood lonely under the porch.

"It's a tiring journey, but it's very uncomfortable. Don't think about it. ”

"Little Marquis, why are you here? Master Jochi has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"I'll go. Li Cong took the letter in his arms.

The group stopped at an inn in one town and rested for two days.

Xuan Chen sat on the chair and looked out the window, it was already night, the breeze was not arrogant or impatient, it was very comfortable.

Yan Qing sat in the restaurant opposite, looking at Xuan Chen. The two looked at each other, Yan Qing raised the wine bottle, and Xuan Chen smiled and nodded.

There were no candles in the room here in Xuan Chen, only a candle was lit by a star. The candles on Yanqing's side were bright, and the warm yellow candle flame was reflected in the distance.

Yan Qing quietly changed the flute, and the sound of the flute was melodious. It is said that listening to the flute from afar and listening to the flute closely, although the flute of that night is good, it is a little low, and it has a different charm to listen to it tonight. Xuan Chen lay on the windowsill, closed his eyes and listened quietly.

When I woke up again, it was daylight. It's time to hit the road again.

"The national teacher once said that I was like an old man. ”

"It's an old man, it's not an old man. ”

"That day, the national teacher said that he loved Magnolia because of the deceased, but I don't know what the national teacher likes?"

"I only love magnolia all my life, and it will never change. ”

Xuan Chen smiled.

A month passed quickly.

As soon as he entered the realm of Liang Country, there was no so-called old Liang Wang's thoughts, Xuan Chen knew, Yan Qing also knew, only Lian Bi couldn't guess it. Ling Xiaoyun took Xuan Chen and his party to his fiefdom, imprisoned them in his mansion with heavy soldiers, separated Xuan Chen and Yan Qing, and just sent people to deliver medicine every day.

Xuan Chen talked to Lian Bi in detail, and Lian Bi looked surprised and disbelieving.

"The king, Mrs., and the marquis, this..."

"Master Hou knows. Xuan Chen's tone was light, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him.

Beigong Mingye was slow to move, Ling Xiaoyun's father was obviously a little anxious to stay in Liangcheng, he had no military power, and he didn't even hear a sound in exchange for twenty cities, and he went to the Northern Lonely Dynasty many times to urge.

After waiting for a month, Beigong Mingye ordered Ye Chu to lead his troops to set off.

The army was slow to enter the city on the border between the two countries.

"Madam, Master Hou will bring the troops. ”

"The army has arrived early, but there is no excuse to attack it. ”

"Madame, drink the medicine. ”

Xuan Chen casually poured the medicine into the potted plant.

"Madam, Lian Bi please, drink the medicine. ”

"No need to drink it. ”

It's autumn moon, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard have almost fallen early, and the yard is bare.

Xuan Chen was playing the stringed piano in the house, and his bowels were broken.

The door creaked open, and Ling Xiaoyun walked in.

"Why don't you play it?"

"It's really sad to play this season. ”

"The king has asked him to move some plums, and it will be fine in a few days. I heard that there is a plum courtyard in Wu'an Houfu. ”

"Yes. ”

After walking together for more than two months, Xuan Chen and Ling Xiaoyun didn't say a few words. Ling Xiaoyun looked at Xuan Chen and didn't mean to continue, and didn't say anything more.

"Wait a minute, Lord Wang. ”

"What else?" Ling Xiaoyun was overjoyed.

"I heard that there are many skilled craftsmen in Liangguo, and Xuan Chen wants to ask the prince for something. ”

"Princess, please speak. ”

"Can you help make a set of horse harness and bows and arrows, I want someone to send them to Yefu. ”

"Wu Anhou is afraid that he is not in Ye Mansion. ”

"It's for my children. ”

Ling Xiaoyun knew Li Cong and nodded.

Xuan Chen deliberately dragged his body, and Yan Qing also knew. Since Yiqing left, Xuan Chen's body has long been dead, and he relies on Yanqing's decoction to hang his life. When Imperial Doctor Zhang took the pulse, Yanqing also quietly moved a little. As soon as he arrived in Liangguo, no matter how Lian Bi persuaded him, he was unwilling to drink a mouthful of medicine.

Beigong Mingye sat in the ancestral pavilion, coming in and having nightmares intermittently, and his hands kept turning the Buddha beads.

Su Hong bowed his waist and hurriedly walked in.

"There is movement in Liangguo. ”

"Where is Xuan Chen locked up now?"

"In the fiefdom of Lingxiaoyun. ”

"Let Ye Chu capture a few cities first, and then make plans. ”

"But didn't the king talk to Ling Yuanzhi and wait for the signal?"

Beigong Mingye glared at Su Hong, "When did you have so many mouths?"

"Minions deserve to die, minions deserve to die. ”

After standing in winter, Xuan Chen's body could see that it was not good. The news of Ye Chu's siege of the city came in, and it was well known that Beigong Mingye had betrayed his oath and wanted to take advantage of the civil strife to annex Liang in one fell swoop. Ling Yuanzhi sent letters to the Beigu Dynasty many times, and Beigong Xuanchen's life was threatened, and Ling Xiaoyun intercepted his father's poisonous wine.

"What is the so-called matter of the prince's visit late at night?" Xuan Chen asked Lian Bi to return to the house first.

"The plum blossoms are blooming. ”

"yes, it's a bit early. The snow opened before it fell. ”

"Do you know why you're here?"

"Know what?"

"Have you ever complained?"

"If you complain, you don't complain. ”

"Liang Guo's qi is almost exhausted. ”

Xuan Chen coughed violently.

"Are you alright?" Ling Xiaoyun worried.

"It's fine. ”

"The set of saddles and bows and arrows you want has been made and is being sent to the Ye Mansion, Li Cong will be very happy to see it. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang. ”

"Lord Wang, I have one more thing to ask you. ”

"I'm afraid there's not much I can do. ”

"My maidservant, Lian Bi, I am like sisters with her, and when he ends the two of us first, he begs the prince to give her a way to live. ”

"I may not be able to do it. Ling Xiaoyun turned and left, a small bottle of poisonous wine on the ground.

Xuan Chen picked up the wine and put it in his sleeve robe.

"Madame, don't stand. ”

"You said that Li Cong received something, would he be happy?"

"Definitely. ”

"He will be able to use the whistle deer next year, but unfortunately he can't see it. ”

"If Madam says anything, Master Hou will come in advance. ”

Xuan Chen bent over and coughed, the blood he coughed up stained the handkerchief, and he had a low-grade fever for several days, and no one reported it.

"Ma'am. ”

Xuan Chen woke up in a daze at night, Lian Bi touched Xuan Chen's forehead, and the heat subsided.

"Help me up. ”

Xuan Chen's hand was on the piano, but he couldn't play.

"Lian Bi, bring a pair of scissors. ”

Xuan Chen cut the strings, Lian Bi stopped them, and pressed his hand on the strings.

"Let go. ”

"Let go!" Xuan Chen gasped.

Lian Bi withdrew his hand, and Xuan Chen cut off all the seven strings.

Xuan Chen sat outside by himself, just staring at the plum blossoms in the courtyard all the time. Lian Bi carried Xuan Chen on his back and put away the strings.

"Madame, cover a blanket. ”

Xuan Chen stretched out his hand and followed the falling snowflakes.

"This year's snow is really late, and the flowers have been blooming for a long time. ”
