In everything in the world, I am most afraid of the sentence "people are not as good as heaven".

Li Fengming has lived for 20 years, and has experienced a lot of large and small scenes, although he has not been clever and fulfilled his wish every time, but he has never suffered such a big setback today-

After carefully scrutinizing the plan of deceitful death and escaping for half a year, from the time I stepped into the mountain road, a total of less than 500 steps were practiced!

It doesn't get any more embarrassing, bleaker, and more speechless than that.

When she turned around with a straight face and faced Zhan Kaiyang standing in front of a team of palace guards, she was shocked in her heart, but she couldn't help but be a little happy.

Luckily, it was snowy, and there was not enough light in the mountains at dawn. With Zhan Kaiyang's eyesight, he shouldn't have noticed the small burden that Xin Wei quickly hid behind him.

You must know that the baggage is packed with "incriminating evidence" that is intended to be used to create fake death scenes.

In front of everyone's eyes, if they were stolen and seized on the spot, the matter of "Princess Heqin's intention to escape" could not be hidden, and there was no room for cunning. It would be strange not to cause diplomatic disputes between the two countries!

In fact, Xiao Mingche, Lian Zhen and others had arrived at the Yongjing Acropolis three days ago, and stayed at the Acropolis official post to wait to enter Beijing.

If you take the official road, the Acropolis is only less than 100 miles away from the south gate of Yongjing. If you ride a horse faster, you can reach it in two or three hours.

However, according to the relevant regulations of Qi State, their entourage belonged to "border army officials routinely returning to Beijing to report on their work", and there was no urgent matter. Therefore, you have to go through a ritual process, wait at the official post of the Acropolis, and then enter Beijing on the date set by Taichang Temple, so as to accept the congratulations of the corresponding officials and people.

The so-called "major affairs of the country are in worship and worship", this kind of complicated understanding seems to be vain and useless, but in fact it is very important to unite the people's hearts and boost morale.

The date set by Taichang Temple for them to enter the city was today, but no one expected that something would happen in Beijing the afternoon before yesterday.

Zhan Kaiyang controlled the reins, and explained to Li Fengming in the carriage against the wind: "There was an accident in Beijing in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, and His Royal Highness King Huai was ordered to enter the palace as soon as possible after arriving in Beijing today. ”

Li Fengming lifted the curtain of the car with one hand and stared at Zhan Kaiyang who was riding a horse in the snow with an expressionless face. "What's going on?"

"I don't know. The day before yesterday, Jin Wuwei suddenly took control of the two cities inside and outside Yongjing, and all news was blocked. At present, I only vaguely get some rumors, but I am not sure whether it is true or not," Zhan Kaiyang lowered his voice slightly, "It seems to be related to the East Palace." ”

The defense of Yongjing City was controlled by Jin Wuwei, and Jin Wu Zhong was Emperor Qi's confidant. Now that Jin Wuwei is in charge, this news is really difficult to inquire.

But recently, the prince and King Heng have been fighting like that, if something really happened to the East Palace, it is nothing more than what King Heng has done to the prince.

In short, according to the currently known information, it can probably be speculated that if there is no accident in the East Palace, Emperor Qi will not urge Xiao Mingche to enter Beijing; If Emperor Qi hadn't urged, Zhan Kaiyang would not have run to the palace early in the morning to arrest her because he was worried that Xiao Mingche would stubbornly stay at the city gate.

In other words, if it is finally determined that King Heng did something drastic to the crown prince, which led to today's meeting, then King Heng is the culprit who sabotaged Li Fengming's escape plan.

Thinking of this, Li Fengming secretly gritted his teeth, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

If it is confirmed in the end that it is really King Heng who has ruined her big thing, as long as there is a chance in the future, she will definitely try her best to step on the bastard's feet.

This bad guy who fell into the ground, she should be decided! Ahhh

"Anyway, there is a big event in the capital that shocks the heavens, and the holy oracle orders your Royal Highness to enter the palace as soon as possible to face the holy ......"

Li Fengming stabilized his mind, took a deep breath of cold air with snow particles, and forcibly suppressed the urge to roar out of shape.

"Then you didn't rush to the city gate early in the morning to wait to escort your Royal Highness into the palace?!" What are you going to do with me?!

"It was ordered by His Highness." Zhan Kaiyang was apprehensive, and he didn't understand why she looked like she was angry.

"When Fuzhong sent someone to the Acropolis to meet His Highness the day before yesterday, His Highness said that if he didn't see you when he returned to the city, even if he ......"

In the cold wind, Zhan Kaiyang shrank slightly on the horse's back, looked around cautiously, and then leaned closer to the car window a little, and said in a small voice, "Even if the crown prince is dead, he is not in a hurry to step into the city gate for half a step." ”

These words can be described as ruthless and desperate, Li Fengming really can't imagine what kind of expression and mood Xiao Mingche had when he said this.

She really didn't understand what Xiao Mingche was thinking.

If something really happens to the prince, whether he is dead or alive, it is a God-given opportunity for Xiao Mingche that should not be missed.

It's such a time, Xiao Mingche didn't obey the holy order to enter the palace early, and he still insisted that she go to pick her up before he was willing to enter the city?

She is in Xiao Mingche's heart, is it really so important?! That's not quite right, right?

"Does he have no legs, or does he not know the way?! Did I go to carry him into the city, or do I want to lead the horse for him?! He's crazy, and you're going to let him do the same?! ”

After Li Fengming asked three questions in a row, he didn't wait for Zhan Kaiyang to answer, so he lowered the car curtain angrily, and leaned against the car wall with his arms around his chest.

After a few breaths of breathing alone in the carriage, she couldn't help but hook her lips and laugh silently.

She thought she might be going crazy too.

After gradually calming down at this time, she actually felt that although Xiao Mingche's stubbornness was clueless, it had ruined her escape plan......

But it seems good to be so longed for and needed by others.

The border of Qi has been fighting for decades, and it has reached the point where the country's young and middle-aged soldiers are about to be scarce, but there has been no major chaos.

Li Fengming was very surprised by this a few years ago.

Standing at the gate of the city today, she finally knew the answer.

It turns out that the national system and folk customs of Qi are really bad for women, but they are not all without merit.

Li Fengming stood in front of the city gate wrapped in a hooded cloak, and his heart was greatly shocked by the customs and battles he had seen for the first time.

She has long heard that in the customs of the Qi people, the highest etiquette to greet important people is to "sprinkle ten miles of flowers to pave the way to greet each other", in order to express respect and support.

And the flowers that pave the road are also exquisite.

If the person to be greeted is a military attaché, a military general, or an ordinary soldier with military merits, it is necessary to sprinkle red flowers.

At this time, it is the middle of winter when the snow is falling, and the most common red flower is nothing more than plum.

The people gathered in the middle of the road, and the red plum thrown out covered the road with snow; The snow that continued to fall in the sky covered the red plum layer again; The people who came later sprinkled new red ......

Layer upon layer, red flowers mixed with snow, as bright as heavy clouds between clouds, stretching into the distance beyond the reach of the eye.

This beautiful face is majestic and magnificent, it is the most simple and warm heart from the subjects, and it is also the prosperous life of the soldiers of the Qi State who have died all their lives.

In the crowd, there were also some people holding more expensive flower branches in their hands, but they were not thrown into the road.

"What is the use of the flowers in your hand?" Li Fengming rubbed his cold fingertips carelessly, and asked Zhan Kaiyang behind him without looking back.

After all, she came from a foreign country, and she only knew a rough idea of the customs of the Qi people, and she didn't know many specific details.

Zhan Kaiyang replied, "If there are family members or close friends who are also welcomed, these flowers should be kept and handed to them when they come, which is part of the family gift to welcome the returnee." ”

Before the words fell, he froze for a moment as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then looked at Li Fengming's empty hands with a little panic.

Li Fengming was also stunned.

She looked down at her palm, then shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, looking back at him for a moment.

"Can I be blamed for this? Just now I went up the mountain to fold flowers, but you had to rush me to come with you immediately. ”

Throwing off the black cauldron, His Royal Highness Li Fengming is very good.

Zhan Kaiyang was so anxious that he blushed, and muttered, "That ......"

As he spoke, the crowd suddenly cheered.

Li Fengming looked fixedly, and at the end of the road, there was a team of silver-armored people riding horses on snow.

The one who is at the forefront of the horse is the most conspicuous.

Qi people are still dark, and in this kind of ceremonial scene, the battle robe worn outside the battle armor should be black.

Only that person, the battle robe is fierce and red, and there is a bright gold hidden in it, like the sun rising in the east.

The morning breeze lifted the snow, and also raised a striking golden red behind him.

The black horse is silver-armored and red-robed, with a vast sky above his head, proudly overlooking the white-headed green mountains.

He is stout and handsome; The horse's hooves trampled over the ground and fell brilliantly, splashing snow and dust, and the wind came at a gallop.

As the sound of horses' hooves approached, Li Fengming finally clearly confirmed that it was Xiao Mingche who had not been in the house for half a year.

In the congratulatory salute of the tsunami along the way, Xiao Mingche immediately reined in front of the city gate and looked at Li Fengming condescendingly.

Since Li Fengming replied to the letter with only the word "oh" half a year ago, there has been no separate correspondence between the two.

In the past six months, Xiao Mingche's movements in the south were all relayed to Li Fengming by Cen Jiashu when he came to the palace.

She originally thought that the relationship between the two would slowly fade, and when she got out and left, she would be separated from each other from now on, and there would be no time in the future.

But I never expected that we would meet again today in such a way that I don't know where to start.

Maybe it's because of the strangeness of being separated for half a year, or maybe it's because of something else, she is so confused, and she always feels that Xiao Mingche in front of her seems to be different.

is still a long and straight body, still has the indifferent and delicate facial features, and even the cold and cold look at people's death has not changed.

Li Fengming was very sure that there was indeed something different about this person. She didn't understand what was different, though.

After looking at each other for a moment, Xiao Mingche turned over and dismounted, and strode neatly towards her.

After standing still in front of her, Xiao Mingche calmly bowed his head and looked straight at her, his expression was unwavering.

Li Fengming's heart was cold, and there seemed to be an ice ridge sliding through the back of his neck.

He didn't know she was going to run away today, did he?

Could it be that he deliberately asked Zhan Kaiyang to go to the palace early in the morning to stop her?

What should I do?

laughed casually and laughed haha, insisting that he really went up the mountain to fold flowers?

Or do you squeeze some tears to show weakness, indicating that you are just a ghost for a while?

Which response is more natural, sincere, and moving?

……

A bunch of messy questions gradually emerged in Li Fengming's mind, complicated and complicated.

It's the first time she has grown so big and panicked, and her brain has become a pot of paste.

"What does it mean not to speak?"

Xiao Mingche's strange question broke the myth curse, and Li Fengming panicked so much that his out-of-body soul finally returned to its place.

She desperately told herself in her heart, what if it was just a coincidence?

Steady, can't mess around. Play it by ear.

Even if this person guessed that she wanted to run away today through some strange clues, he didn't! Yes! Proof! Occupy!

As long as there is no conclusive human and physical evidence, no one can conclude that she wants to escape.

We must not be caught in the grip and cause disputes between the two countries.

With a little calm, Li Fengming gave a salute, like every woman from Qi who welcomed her husband home safely.

But she was only halfway through the salute, and Xiao Mingche reached out to hold her arm to stop it.

She didn't insist, she slowly stood up straight according to the other party's strength, raised her head to meet his eyes, and tried to squeeze out the joy and laughter of the reunion after a long absence.

"I didn't speak, because I was overjoyed to see you come back safely."

She herself felt a little contrived when she heard the voice, and her smile was not natural enough. But she really tried her best.

Sure enough, Xiao Mingche snorted lightly, and there were no waves in his peach blossom eyes, obviously not believing it.

He tilted his head, raised his chin slightly, and pointed, motioning for Li Fengming to look around.

Li Fengming followed his gaze and looked at Lian Zhen and the others who came back with him, including several accompanying soldiers, all of whom were holding flower branches from family members or friends in their hands at the moment.

"The family gift of welcoming home, everyone else has it, but His Royal Highness King Huai does not have it. You're afraid you don't want me back, do you? ”

Xiao Mingche's tone was flat, but his eyes were cold and gloomy, and there seemed to be some secret hidden under the quiet calm at the bottom of his eyes.

Li Fengming was so shocked by his strange look that his scalp was numb.

Does this guy know that she's going to run away today, or is she just unhappy?

This morning, Zhan Kaiyang rushed to the palace to stop her from escaping, was it a coincidence, or did the blind cat meet a dead mouse?

But these questions can't be spoken, otherwise they will not be self-defeating.

So Li Fengming pressed down the doubts and anxiety in his heart, cleared his throat, and pretended to laugh easily, "How come?" I think you've been thinking about it for half a year, and you can't sleep even when you think about it. ”

"Huh." He still stared at her so coldly, with a face full of words Do you read my letter?

Li Fengming panicked so much that his heart was out of order, and suddenly he had a strong desire to survive.

She jerked her hand in front of Xiao Mingche's chest, and in his stunned and stunned state, she untied his golden and red robe with lightning speed and wrapped it around herself.

Then, in full view......

Pounce on him.

"Well, you have flowers, too, red. Satisfied? Li Fengming hugged his waist and looked up at him, although his smile was fake, it was sweeter than honey.

She has lived for twenty years, and the first time she has been so dogged, is still under the limelight!

In order not to cause trouble for her sister who was far away in Wei, she really let herself out, and her face and discipline were all shattered.

In her vision, Xiao Mingche should push her away. Then she can do the pitiful thing to muddy the waters, so that she can perfunctory the scene.

But she miscalculated again.

The next moment she threw herself into her arms and hugged Xiao Mingche, he hugged her tightly into his arms.

Xiao Mingche's cold cheeks were pressed against Li Fengming's ears, and his voice was hoarse and trembling, as if he was laughing, and he seemed to be relieved.

"Satisfied. My flowers are more beautiful than everyone else's. ”
