The dark night in winter was very quiet, but fortunately, the mountain breeze was quite warm, so the people in the academy did not fall asleep. teapot

In the night, two white shadows walked out of the mountain one after the other, and the academy also regained its due tranquility at this moment.

In the silent back mountain, except for the chirping of small sparrows, there is no noise at all.

On the mountainside of the back mountain, Mo Shanshan walked in front, Tang Ning walked behind, and the two walked unhurriedly, not far or close.

In the newly built thatched hut near the lake, Wang Shusheng quietly opened the bamboo curtain window and looked at the pair of beautiful people.

"How's that stinky boy?"

Holding his wine glass, the master glanced faintly at the figure outside the window. Some are anxious, and some are curious.

"That wood, I only know how to follow behind Shanshan."

As if angry, Wang Lang looked at the slightly tall figure with displeasure.

"I don't know what's crazy about this kid. It wasn't like that before, but why is it like this now? ”

"If you want to say that you don't like mountains, it's not like it, but if you like it, why is it like this now?"

The master glanced at Wang Lang lightly, and said with a chuckle: "You, how can you understand what it's like to be old but have never married a wife?" ”

Wang Lang blushed, and subconsciously muttered: "It's not that you haven't married a wife, why did you talk about me." ”

The master looked at him angrily, Wang Shusheng smiled, pointed out the window and said, "Look, there is movement!" ”

In the medicinal field on the mountainside, the rich aroma of medicine fills the air. Under the soft starlight, two white shadows stopped here.

The girl at the head seems to like it very much. She opened her arms slightly and closed her eyes that shimmered with a faint light, as if she was feeling the rare tranquility in the mountains.

Tang Ning stood behind him, looking at the girl who seemed to be one with the environment, and smiled slightly.

"You're really beautiful."

The girl didn't say anything, as if she hadn't heard it, and breathed deeply into the fragrance of the air.

The pair of jade hands like white fat jade slowly stretched forward in the starlight, green and soft, as if caressing the starlight.

"Why are you so beautiful?"

The words that did not seem to be doubtful but questionable came out of Tang Ning's mouth again.

In the thatched hut, Wang Shusheng scratched his legs anxiously and muttered, "How can this wood be so stupid? ”

The master looked at Wang Shusheng's appearance, and couldn't help but smile slightly, looking at the clumsy figure under the starlight.

"Even though I'm so beautiful, I still can't keep you."

The girl closed her eyes, and in the mountain wind, a white dress made a slight noise.

Tang Ning was silent, feeling a little cold body, and wanted to raise his hand to disperse those cold air, but when he made a move, he withdrew the Yuan Li that had just been condensed, and silently draped his robe over the girl's shoulders.

"A lot of times, it's not like you can stay if you want to."

"Do you want to stay or don't you want to stay?"

The girl felt the warmth coming from her body, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was still calm and cold.

"I want to stay, but I can ......"

"If you want to stay, why do you want to leave?"

Listening to the topic that had gone back to its place again, Tang Ning frowned, silently thinking about how to answer.

The master suddenly felt a little hot, so he picked up the banana fan on the side and stirred it slightly.

The cold wind in the mountains became stronger and stronger, Tang Ning frowned, thinking about the question that he didn't know the answer, and he unconsciously sneezed.

The girl looked back, looked at the slightly dazed face, and silently took off the robe on her body.

Lianbu moved lightly, came to Tang Ning's side, put the long robe on for him, and immediately stepped forward.

"Shanshan, I will definitely marry you in the future."

Seeing the girl's figure getting farther and farther away, Tang Ning muttered seriously.

"Shanshan, I will definitely marry you."

"Shanshan, I will definitely marry you."

"Shanshan, I'll marry you."

The words were passed through the mountains, and I don't know if it was the friction of the air, which produced some strange mutations that could not be described.

In the end, it was passed to the girl's ears, and only seven words remained.

The corners of the girl's lips twitched slightly, revealing a satisfied and shy smile.

"Then it will be set at the beginning of next month, and I will marry you."

Tang Ning heard the whispering in the wind, and a trace of confusion appeared on his serious face.

Looking at the girl's slightly hurried back, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and in those bright eyes, a touch of firmness slowly squeezed out the trace of doubt.

On the second day, Tang Ning walked out of the old book building. Outside the old book building, Ning Que was waiting quietly outside the door.

Tang Ning looked at the firmness in the young man's eyes, and after groaning slightly, he asked, "You have decided?" ”

Seeing that Ning was short, Tang Ning patted the young man's shoulder, looking very serious.

"You could die. For the sake of an unjust case, is it worth it? ”

Ning Que looked at the gate of the academy and said softly: "Fourth Senior Brother, I fled from Chang'an to Minshan, and picked up Sangsang from Minshan to go to Weicheng. returned to the capital from Weicheng and was desperately admitted to the academy, for the sake of that unjust case. ”

"When I learned that there was no hope of overturning the case, all I could do was to avenge the old people who had loved me and accompanied me. To be able to kill the enemy, what is a cheap life. What's more, it must be him who died. ”

"Xiahou, as a peak powerhouse of martial arts, and the Mingguang armor created by the fifth and seventh elders, with your current cultivation, you can't hurt him at all. Are you sure you don't want to think about it anymore? ”

Ning Que smiled, looked at Tang Ning and said seriously: "There are some things that are far more important than being alive. What's more, it must be me who is alive. ”

"Yuan Thirteen Arrows, Haoran Sword, and two characters can't hurt Xiahou."

Ning Que was silent, bowed to Tang Ning, and said calmly: "Ask the fourth senior brother to teach me." ”

Tang Ning smiled heartily, helped Ning Que up, looked at the seriousness in the latter's eyes, nodded and said, "Although I can't help you personally, I don't want you, the little junior brother who just recognized, to die in the hands of Xia Hou like this." ”

After finishing speaking, Tang Ning closed his eyes, and under the shroud of mental power, a strange and powerful sword light flashed away.

Ning Que hid the white paper in his hand on his chest, and then walked towards the old firewood room.

"Sangsang, where is my knife, young master?"

After coming to the firewood room, Ning Que couldn't see Sangsang's figure, so he couldn't help but ask.

At this time, a figure covered in black ash under the boiling table crawled out from under the pot hole.

With a thin body and long braids, who is it not Sangsang.

Ning Que looked at the little maid who only had a mouthful of white teeth and a pair of eyes, patted her forehead, and turned her head away without being able to bear to look directly.

The little maid Sang Sang walked quickly to Ning Que and asked with a smile.

"Young master, are you looking for me?"

Ning Que looked at the strangely shaped Sangsang, smiled bitterly, and stretched out his hand to wipe the ashes off the little face.

"Sangsang, the young master is now a disciple of the master, can you be a little more concerned about the young master's face?"

Hearing this, Sang Sang hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeves, but the clothes were stained with more black ash.

Sang Sang wiped it, the eyes that had never moved away from Ning Que's face, inadvertently saw the sleeves that had already turned black, and was stunned.

Sang Sang hurriedly ran away, and after a while, he changed into a gray robe, the black ash on his face was also cleaned, and he trotted towards the firewood room with Ning Que's blade on his back.

"It's always snowing these days, so I put these things in my old library the day before yesterday. Young master, isn't the war over? What are you doing with all this? ”

Ning Que took the Pu knife from Sangsang's hand and carried it on his back. Turning around, Sang Sang tied the iron box behind Ning Que.

"The young master is going to kill people."

Sang Sang's little hand tied the belt stopped, looked up at the young master's face quite seriously, tied the belt more seriously, and reached out to help Ning Que straighten the robe.

"Young master, I want to go with you."

"Don't make a fuss, the young master is going to the north this time, it's extremely cold there. You have just the right amount of cold in your body, so you should not suffer from the cold. You waited in the academy for the young master to come back. ”

Sangsang frowned, with sorrow on his little face, and hurried back to the stove and skillfully lit the fire.

"Sangsang?"

"Young master, let's go after eating the noodles, I have learned a lot from Mr. Big now, the noodles I make are delicious, even the master thinks they are delicious."

Ning Que was silent, looking at the busy little maid, and the heaviness in his heart gradually let go.

"You are his apprentice, and he will naturally say good things to please you."

"The master has praised me."

"I am a disciple of the teacher, you are my little maid, and he will naturally say good things."

Sang Sang looked at Ning Que's slightly teasing look, stomped his feet, frowned and thought about it, and said, "My sister also said that the noodles I made are delicious." ”

"Since you said that she is your sister, you will naturally coax you."

Ning Que thought of the perfect shadow that was always clean without a trace of dust, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he also believed in the fact that Sangsang's craftsmanship had improved.

Sang Sang was anxious when she heard this, and thought about the people who had praised her cooking skills recently, and who were not related to the two of them.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think of anyone.

Thinking that since the young master entered the second floor, he has been staying in the academy, and rarely returned to the old pen house, and a trace of longing rose in his heart.

Sangsang, who was missing in this way, served the bowl of extremely picky noodles to Ning Que.

Ning Que smelled the fragrance that had never changed, shook his head, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles silently.

While eating, Ning Que missed the stone house in Weicheng a little, thinking about Ma Shixiang's scolding in the day, thinking about the waste wood that often haunts, and unconsciously shed a tear.

The faint coolness woke up Ning Que, who was immersed in longing.

Looking at the bowl of noodles that were still exuding heat and almost not missing, Ning Que showed a smile and nodded in praise.

"This bowl of noodles is delicious, and your cooking skills have really improved a lot."

Seeing Sang Sang's smiling face, Ning Que continued to speak: "It's a pity, it's always a pity to miss the omelette. ”

On the other side, with the Tang Emperor's travel procession, it soon left the territory of Chang'an.

The third prince sat on the back of a bumpy horse, looking very impatient, and looked at the carriage not far behind him. On the slightly delicate face, there is a slight strange look.

When he saw Hua Shanyue next to the carriage, his eyes revealed a silent inquiry. The latter looked complicated and shook his head slightly.

The silent exchange between the two was brief, and none of the accompanying sergeants noticed anything wrong.

In the Tang Palace, Li Yu looked at the folds piled up in front of him, calmly picked up a book, and unfolded it.

Outside the main hall, Li Peiyan quickly walked into the hall, and the two of them collaborated to approve it, and it was soon completed.

Li Peiyan looked at Li Yu, who was slightly tired, and asked softly.

"Yu'er, I don't know what you noticed about the imperial brother's trip to Taoqiu?"

Li Yu glanced at his imperial uncle, thinking that he might be very unwilling because he failed to accompany his father.

"Uncle Huang, Yu'er didn't notice anything wrong."

Li Peiyan paced, looked at Li Yu's face that seemed to be slightly impatient, and asked softly, "Don't you think it's strange?" Although the war is now over, isn't it strange that your father only brought more than a thousand guards? ”

Li Yu frowned, although he also had doubts in his heart, but thinking that Li Hunyuan could accompany his father, this showed that his father was willing to give his younger brother a chance.

And this travel mission is very important, so when Li Yu selected guards in Huashanyue, he ordered him to choose many good soldiers in the army. Although there are only more than 1,000 of them, it is enough to suppress the young people.

What's more, General Xu Shida, who was stationed in Nanying County, and his Zhennan Army under his command did not leave, so it was enough to protect his father.

In Li Yu's heart, Li Huiyuan was valued by her father, which was the picture she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Now that this picture has really appeared, she doesn't dare to take it lightly. After making many arrangements, only the younger brother was left with him, and after he came back, he naturally walked to that position in the eyes of his father.

Li Yu, who was intoxicated with a bright future, could not notice the change in the Tang Emperor's blunt attitude towards the third prince Li Huiyuan.

As a person outside his body, Prince Li Peiyan obviously sensed something wrong from this bluntness.

But after pondering and meditating, he was still puzzled, so Li Peiyan could only ask out loud.

Now that I see Li Yu like this, I also understand that Her Royal Highness the princess, who wants to come from home, has never found out at all.

After leaving the palace, Li Peiyan thought about it and finally thought of Xu Chongshan, who was following the Tang Emperor in Su Rili.

Li Peiyan looked at the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion in front of him, thought for a while and asked in a deep voice, "Commander Xu is in the mansion?" ”

The old man dressed in the housekeeper's costume came to the front, bowed and saluted and said respectfully: "Back to the prince, the lord suddenly felt sick since the day before yesterday, so he sued for sins and rested, and now he is sick in the house." ”

"Oh? Xu Tongling is sick? In this way, the king will have to go inside to pay a visit. ”

Li Peiyan fell from the carriage, and when Lao Suo saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince land safely, he bowed down.

"My lord had previously instructed that no one should enter his room. Even the maids in the house can't enter since yesterday. His Royal Highness the Prince still doesn't want to embarrass the old slave. ”

Li Peiyan's eyes were fixed on Lao Suo, and seeing that the latter didn't seem to be lying, he said softly: "Steward Liu, there was a theft case in the palace today, as the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, this matter needs to be personally responsible for Commander Xu." ”

Steward Liu frowned, lowered his body and saluted again: "Your Royal Highness, please forgive the old slave for the crime of disrespect." The illness that the lord is suffering from this time is very strange, if you insist on entering the ......"

"It doesn't matter, this king will not enter the gate today, but only ask a few words outside the door and then leave."

Seeing that Li Peiyan was about to climb the steps, Steward Liu hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness, please stay." ”

Li Peiyan was slightly displeased, and turned to look at Steward Liu.

"Your Royal Highness, the old man is seriously ill and has fallen into a coma today. His Royal Highness entered at this time, and he couldn't solve his doubts. ”

Li Peiyan went down the steps, came to Steward Liu, looked at the sweat faintly floating on his forehead, and asked in a low voice.

"Steward Liu, this king doesn't embarrass you, this king only asks you one word, and you tell this king truthfully. Otherwise, this king will put aside the princely etiquette and force himself to enter for a look. ”

Steward Liu raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, feeling the coercion of the superior in front of him, and faintly retreated.

"Is Commander Xu not in the mansion?"

As soon as Li Peiyan said this, Steward Liu's face changed, and finally nodded slightly, but he did not speak.
