The sound of the flute is like the ghost of the night, blowing among the leaves of the mountain forest.

"It's been a long time since I've heard you play the flute." Fan Lu walked inside with a wine gourd and sat beside Ban Yue.

Ban Yue put away the flute and looked at the bottom of the mountain, the condensed prosperity in the distance, the lights were flickering, and those big red lanterns were like glowing oranges.

"Lord Wang, are you leaving the capital?" Fan Lu raised his head and took a sip and handed the wine gourd to Ban Yue.

He knew Banyue, who rarely played the flute and would only play a song before parting.

"Call me Banyue, the word prince spit out of your mouth, awkward." Ban Yue took it, took a sip as well, and returned it to Fan Lu.

Fan Lu smiled with satisfaction.

Although Banyue's identity is different, he is not shocked by honor and disgrace, and he still drinks a pot of wine with himself as in the past.

For a while, he was poor and exquisite, and in order to avoid the suspicion of clinging to the powerful, he deliberately distanced himself from him.

"The last time I heard you play the flute, it was when you set off to fight Yukou, and the sound of the flute was like the wind and the water was cold, full of the ambition of a dead soldier. This time, how can there be a taste of retreat to the countryside? Fan Lu asked.

The corners of Ban Yue's mouth opened a self-deprecating smile: "I have never made any achievements, how can I return to the countryside?" ”

Fan Lu showed an envious gaze: "You graduated from Tai Academy, in just two years, you have become a respected general, and now you have become a prince above ten thousand people under one person, who else in the world has your aura?" ”

"Don't say much about compliments." Banyue was not happy to listen.

"Am I lying halfway?" Fan Lu was not convinced, "How can you be like an old Taoist who has seen through the red dust at a young age?" ”

Banyue didn't speak, took the wine gourd, raised his head and took a big sip.

The liquor passed through his throat, bitter and spicy, and he frowned, his chest hot.

The past was like smoke, the distant scenery was like a dream, and his nasal cavity began to sour.

Ups and downs. Although he is not very old, has he experienced less life and death?

"It is said that young people don't know the taste of sorrow, I think, you, the young man, have the most real experience of this taste." Fan Lu looked at him with a clear vision, "Are you going to retreat for the sake of a smile?" ”

"What a retreat, it's time for me to take office in the fiefdom." Ban Yue glanced at the lantern in the distance again, although he didn't admit it, Fan Lu could always tell his thoughts.

Half of the reason for deciding to go back to the fiefdom was to smile.

Her personality made her stay in the capital, and she didn't know what else would happen.

Since I first met her in the Haiphong camp, she has been blowing into my heart like the wind.

In the days that followed, it seemed that she was living for her, and during this period, she was involved in many lawsuits and suffered a lot of grievances.

But she was willing, and she felt very happy, and she became a complete part of her life.

In his life plan, he can't live without her.

"Actually, if you have greater ambitions, you should stay in the capital, which will bring people together more. I believe that neither the crown prince nor the king of Qi are your opponents. Fan Lu persuaded that he hoped in his heart that he would be able to inherit the throne by Ban Yue in the future.

Only he can make Puguo change the status quo of the clan hereditary and let truly talented people control the imperial court, and the future of Puguo will be brighter.

"What they care about, I don't care. I promised the people of the coastal counties that they must live a good life, and this is my pursuit. "Ban Yue has no intention of fighting for power.

"Is it only the people of the coastal counties who want to live a good life? You don't want to be with people from other places? How good is the sun? ”

"I can only do what I can. Don't mention this matter, do you know that the Northern Snow Prince Haishan came to the capital? ”

"Of course I know, he has only been here for a few days, and even our Tai Academy has spread all over the world, saying that he loves Hualou and wants to call many beautiful women to accompany him every day, and he is looking for fun every day."

"Maybe it's just that he did it on purpose, so let's let our guard down on him. I always feel that Beixue Country will not be as honest as it seems, and sending Princess Xueyin to come to make peace is just a trick. Banyue said worriedly.

"Why?"

In fact, Hualou is the best place for him to communicate with those dignitaries, and it does not attract attention. Moreover, isn't it strange that he suddenly feasted with a smile tonight? There must be something else. ”

"He smiled at the banquet, don't you stare?" Fan Lu asked in shock.

"If I'm on the sidelines, maybe Prince Beixue will be wary and won't say what he really thinks." Banyue explained.

Fan Lu was very angry: "You want to use a smile to make his words? ”

"Definitely. Xiaoxiao also has things she wants to do, and she doesn't want me to go with her. ”

"How can you do that? You are sending a smile into the tiger's mouth, how dangerous! ”

"I've sent someone to keep an eye on her, and there will be no problem with her safety."

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that!" Fan Lu stood up and left, ready to go down the mountain.

After walking a few steps, he turned back and pointed at Banyue and scolded: "You are smart and conscious, confused for a while, if you smile and have three long and two short, you will regret going!" ”
