Hou Cong let out a laugh that was neither big nor small, neither long nor short, and the third princess also laughed. Hou Cong's laughter is indescribable, the meaning is complex, but it is not difficult to understand. Among them is "comprehension", there is also "complacency", and there are "graceful" and "gentle acceptance".

This laughter scraped Bai Yi's ears like a blade, and scratched her heart. Because the knife technique was too fast, it didn't have time to bleed, and it froze. Bai Yi once again looked at him in the night with a blank and unsuspecting look, with a proud side face and a calm look in his eyes, it was a Gu raised from the love of thousands of women. Bai Yi pinched his hand, anyway, it was his own decision to put him into his spring boudoir dream. A person who is going to die in a substitute for himself already understands that everything has nothing to do with him.

But she, like the entire Guanhualou, couldn't take her eyes off.

"Your Highness is so considerate, it is better to be respectful than to obey your orders. Both girls are national colors, and when they are placed in my team, they naturally add color, and I like them. He paused, and gave a gap for Ling Xiao and Bixiao to go down and thank him, "Since you are with me, you can't help but join the army, how about making you the captain of Lianhua and the captain of Capture Hua?" You pick these two names yourself, I don't care, don't fight. ”

"It's really yours," the third princess gently pushed Hou Cong herself, "The rank of captain in your military camp is easy to get, isn't the girl of the Yuwen family over there also a captain of Furui?" ”

If she had to attract the attention of the audience, Bai Yi lowered her head, and Mo Chang happened to sit in the direction of the light, blocking her.

Hou Cong picked up the wine glass, touched the edge, and his smile did not disappear, "Captain Furui is different from them, they have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. ”

That's right, the captives are sitting there. The third princess realized that out of her identity, she couldn't be too frivolous with the "national soldiers", so she cut off the topic, "Ling Xiao Bixiao can't be left behind, you have to be clever and serve General Xiaohou well." ”

"Yes." The glutinous and soft voice of consent made a whistle sound on the side of the main building, and it was really at the level of disaster water, and even in late winter and early autumn, he pouted his lips and expressed his dissatisfaction and attention.

Hou Cong took a sip of wine, took a handful of wine jugs by the way, filled the cup of the third princess, and handed it to her attentively, but his hand was attentive and did not touch her skin, "Follow me, it's fun," Hou Cong laughed again, charming, murderous, and then raised his voice, "Fluorescent, come here!" ”

A thin female soldier suddenly walked over in the corner, but she was not tall, black and pretty, with big eyes, deep eye frames, a fleshy mouth, a slightly wide nose, long eyelashes echoing the sword eyebrows, and there was no smile at all.

"General." She said that she spoke very quickly, without the slightest hint of mud.

Hou Cong nodded with satisfaction, "Well, Ling Xiao Bixiao will be handed over to you, go now, take it to the camp for training for two days, and then send it to His Royal Highness Chang's mansion to carry out the task." ”

After speaking, he finally found a reason and looked at the table of Mo Chang and Bai Yi openly. Mo Chang naturally smiled very sincerely, "Gratitude, gratitude." ”

The white clothes were hiding in the shadows, and Hou Cong couldn't see her. Even the exposed skirt corners are indifferent.

Changkong had been watching the play for a long time at this time, and he had that dead monkey-like smile on his face. And Yuan and Fluorescent have been in a relationship, and they are busy making faces at others at this time.

The heart of the third princess cooled down layer by layer, making the warm wine she had just drunk look hot.

It was Hou Cong who changed the topic first, "Today, it can be regarded as a farewell banquet, and then enjoy the night of the Datong feast, I don't know when." ”

The third princess tucked her skirt and her voice tightened, "Going to leave?" ”

"Hmm." Hou Cong's face returned to the stubbornness of an ice sculpture, "I'm about to pick a good day and take His Royal Highness Chang to a place, if the third princess is bored, they can also go together." ”

"Oh? Where? ”

Hou Cong watched Mo Chang speak, "In addition to His Royal Highness Chang, there are still some people who have stayed with us from Chengguo. There are also those who are seriously injured and die, and there are other cases where they die in a foreign land. Before we go on the road, we have to go to the sacrifice and bring their souls home. ”

Mo Chang also put the cup close to his lips, "That's how it should be, General Xiaohou thought thoughtfully." ”

The two of them stood up, left their respective tables, and touched their glasses, Hou Cong was looking for Bai Yi through the night, she was no longer there.

All good things come to an end. The grand event of the viewing flower building can be regarded as no danger and lively past. Hou Cong was busy for a long time, and saw that Dugu, who was sent, was coming over to report, "The girl in white waited for Mo Chang to leave before leaving, and the two of them went to the Fenghe River to watch the night flowers." ”

Hou Cong nodded and did not speak.

Mo Chang rented a boat in advance. It's not a canopy boat or a big flower boat, it's just an ordinary wooden boat, two people sitting at the bottom of the boat, facing each other, it's still too narrow. Yuan and Changkong rode horses and followed along the riverbank, and the centurions and soldiers at the bottom followed farther away, so as not to disturb Yaxing. Mo Chang propped up the boat himself, offshore, slowly approached the center of the river, and then went down the gentlest water, the speed was not slow, the black river water whimpered below, and the humid air smelled of aquatic plants. Between Mo Chang and Baiyi, who were sitting facing each other, a small lantern was picked.

Mo Chang kept smiling and looking at Bai Yi and said a lot of things to her.

"I was born as a prince because I was the eldest son. My father likes me, but my mother doesn't. Of course, she was cold to everyone, and I had no other siblings. A few princes were sent to remote places, and when I fought with you, I did not escape the fate of leaving Pingdu. On the day of his father's funeral, he obviously had time to call the other brothers back, but let the emperor's nephew succeed him. ”

He didn't know who to talk to about these words, but he always held them in his heart, and no matter how usual he complained, a cancer would come out.

These words, to her ears, were almost impossible to respond to.

"This is the bitterness in my heart, and I hope you don't think I'm a bad person. Because I care most about what you think. Others use me as a pawn, and I was originally dead, but when I saw you, my heart came alive again, and I even felt that there was nothing I couldn't do, including the power of the world for you. ”

"What are you going to do?" Bai Yi was a little puzzled, but he didn't feel bored with him.

"I want you to live, you see, I don't want you to be a substitute for the dead."

Bai Yi opened his mouth slightly, and didn't ask the sentence, "How do you know?" ”

At this time, he raised his face and asked Bai Yi to look at a place on the other side - for some reason, the moonlight illuminated a sea of flowers, white and red, large and small, full blooming, half-opened, and at a glance, they were left behind by the boat.

"It's beautiful." Bai Yi was sincerely admired.

Not only because they are open in the night, but also because of the speed of the river and the boat, your eyes only have time to stay for a moment, and you can't even tell the real from the fake, and then you go wrong. There's no turning back.

"I can hang a poem written for you on every flower. So, I just want you to understand my intentions, and no matter what, don't hate me. ”

What kind of mind Mo Chang used, and how many things he hadn't said, Bai Yi couldn't figure it out. But he really didn't mean to harm himself in the slightest, Bai Yi understood.

"Your Highness, I am willing to protect you. My grandfather, who taught you a lesson, will definitely want me to be crushed to pieces in the spirit of heaven, and to protect His Highness. ”

Mo Chang was stunned and understood that Bai Yi was talking about Bai Shen.

Tears welled up in his eyes. Two people who have become a country, reduced to the end of the world, floating on the river of others, at this moment, understand each other. What happened to the white clothes! Mo Chang didn't know that at this time, he not only liked Baiyi, but also felt pity and guilt. He gently put down his stroke, without the intention of a man or a woman, took the white coat and held it in his arms.

As the crown prince, he was supposed to protect his subjects. As a student, he should have protected his husband's family.

They are two people who are tied together in life and death.

The boat docked again, Changkong was afraid that his sister would wet her feet, so she got on the horse, and the people under him also approached at this time, and the group first returned to the direction of Guanhualou, and then returned to Dongfeng Lane and Huaping Lane respectively. On the bank of the Feng River, it is the soil of spring, thawed, and it will sink if you step on it, but there is no danger. Some places are quite muddy, but the flowers are blooming everywhere, and sure enough, watching the night flowers is a unique scenery.

The flowers hurried back into the night and the flowing water under the horses' hooves.

They said goodbye in front of the Guanhua Building, because Bai Yi wanted to go back in a small sedan chair, Yu Wenxing came out of the banquet and never left, still waiting to see his son, and then accompany his daughter home. The sky has grown so big, and for the first time, I realized my father's difficulty, and the dark clouds in my heart that did not belong to me were dense again.

Yuan protected the white clothes again, followed Yuwenxing back to Yuwen Mansion, and there was a person waiting at the gate.

Hou Cong.
