After descending the wind bone slope, An Huajin came to the horse and grabbed the reins of the horse, but he did not get on the horse for a long time.

Zhang Chengze's words were still in her ears with the wind and snow, hitting her heart and lungs one by one.

She had to admit that she was not as calm and calm as she appeared, and she also had an impulse to rush to the capital and kill the emperor who was suspicious of using conspiracies to eradicate loyal ministers and good generals, as well as the Gu family, she wanted to ask Old Man Gu, eight years ago, if he really knew that the emperor and Zhang Zaifu were calculating his father and brother but did not stop him. And Gu Qingyan, the person he supports is the eldest prince? What is the covenant with the Great Prince? He also doesn't want the An family to exist in Da Chu all the time?

There are too many people who want to ask in my heart, and there are too many things I want to ask, but I can't pull it out under my feet.

The snow fell layer by layer, on her head and shoulders, and tufts of white fox fur hung from her cloak.

Smolderflame and the Three Hundred Darkguards stood silently behind him, they had grown up with An Huajin since childhood, and seemed to empathize with all of her emotions.

Smoky Flame remained silent, and did not make a sound to remind An Huajin that time slipped by little by little.

After about half an hour, An Huajin shook the reins, the snowflakes fell, she brushed the top of her head again, the snowflakes scattered in all directions, she uncovered the cloak again, raised her hand, the cloak rolled up a gust of snow, she finished a series of actions, tied the cloak back to the cloak, turned over the horse, sat on the horse, her voice was calm and clear, "Let's go, go back to Nanyang City." ”

"Yes!"

Smolder, with three hundred Dark Guards, followed her.

The first snow in Nanyang, it fell overnight and half a day, there are still signs of not stopping, An Huajin braved the wind and snow to hurry, when she went back, although the snow was getting heavier and heavier, but she didn't feel a trace of severe cold, the horse's hooves stepped on the snow, stepping out a series of hoof prints, and after they passed, the wind and snow quickly filled in the horseshoe prints.

When I returned to Nanyang City, it was late at night.

Everything is normal in Nanyang City, what is it when you leave, and what it is still when you come back.

An Huajin hit a horse into Nanyang City, all the way back to Nanyang Palace, the gate of Nanyang Palace, the gate of Nanyang Palace is open, there is a person standing with a cloak and an umbrella at the door of the house, that person is dressed in plain clothes, in the silent night, in the wind and snow, the posture is as beautiful as green bamboo.

An Huajin was in a trance for a moment, thinking that he had seen Gu Qingyan, and after a closer look, he found that it was Cui Zhuo.

Cui Zhuo and Gu Qingyan are vaguely similar in some aspects, after all, they are both born in a big family, and they are both heirs cultivated by the family since childhood, and the Gu family and the Cui family are generally not much different from each other in terms of rules and etiquette.

But the Gu Qingyan she knows is only the only side of the Red Pink Lane on Eighth Street three years ago, and the Gu Qingyan she knows is only after the flower-viewing banquet held by the eldest princess in April this year.

The Cui Zhuo she knew, to be counted after the battle of Yuxueling, it was eight years ago, her grandfather went to Beijing and made a marriage contract for her, and she didn't dare to say it when she came back, hiding it from her, saying that she had grown up in Beijing since she was a child, and he looked at it too much to have the rules of her daughter's family, she was eight years old, and she should learn the rules of her daughter's family, and forcibly sent her to Cui's house regardless of her wishes.

She has to live with the old lady of the Cui family for a month every year, but she didn't go this year, and she has known Cui Zhuo for eight years.

Eight years of acquaintance is long enough, so she knows a lot more about Cui Zhuo than Gu Qingyan.

It's a pity -

An Huajin came back to his senses and shouted, "Brother Cui Shi, why are you standing at the door?" ”

Cui Zhuo saw that she came back safely, and finally a smile appeared on his face, took two steps forward, looked her up and down, and said softly, "I estimated that you would come back tonight, and I couldn't sleep anyway, so I waited for you at the door." ”

An Huajin sighed in his heart, jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the doorman, glanced at the thick layer of snow scattered on his support, and couldn't help but say, "It's so cold, if Brother Cui Shi is cold, doesn't it sincerely make me feel guilty?" After speaking, he glared at the group of people waiting at the door, "What about Anping?" Why don't you persuade me? ”

All the gatekeepers confessed their crimes, "The subordinates are guilty!" ”

He was worried that he insisted on waiting, who could persuade Cui Gongzi! Ay!

Cui Zhuo smiled, "I'm not so stupid, I'm not cold with a hand stove, Sister An, don't attack them." Anping went to patrol the city, presumably you were in a hurry to enter the city, and you didn't see him. ”

An Huajin also glared at him, "Brother Cui Shi, I didn't say you, how old are you, even if you have to wait, you should wait for me in the study, once I come back, someone will report it to you immediately, why suffer this sin of wind and snow?" If you are infected with the wind and cold, drink bitter medicine soup, you will feel better. ”

Cui Zhuo smiled, "No, I don't slack off in the cold and summer when I practice, squatting against the wind and snow for two or three hours, but now I haven't waited for a long time, not yet." ”

An Huajin could only give up, "You have waited, I can't punish you, there will be no next time." Otherwise, I will send you to the army to sit in the town, let Shen Yuanzhi come back, Shen Yuanzhi will not wait for me like you, at this hour, he will definitely sleep with his head covered. ”

Cui Zhuo laughed, "He is most afraid of things like paperwork, if you arrange it like this, I will be fine, he is afraid that he will be miserable and unable to sleep for a long time." ”

An Huajin was also amused.

Shen Yuanzhi's goods are really.

Cui Zhuo handed the hand stove to An Huajin, "It's cold all the way, isn't it?" You are most afraid of the cold, this hand stove is a new one for me, you hurry up and warm your hands. ”

An Huajin stretched out his hand to take it and held it in his hand, and the warmth in his hand did dispel some of the wind chill.

Cui Zhuo accompanied her to go back, "Can this trip go well?" Did you see Zhang Chengze? How so? ”

An Huajin was not tired or sleepy anyway, and said to him, "Let's go to the study and talk." ”

Cui Zhuo glanced at the sky, "I'll just ask casually, if you can't finish a sentence or two, you better go and rest, and tell me the same tomorrow." ”

An Huajin shook his head, "Don't be tired, let's go to the study!" ”

Cui Zhuo saw that she was really not tired, and nodded, "It's okay." ”

There has been a charcoal fire in the study, and there is red date and ginger soup boiling on the stove, after the two entered the study, the warmth in the room quickly dispelled the cold on An Huajin's body, Cui Zhuo poured a cup of red date and ginger soup and handed it to her, An Huajin reached out and took it and sat next to the stove.

Before the two could speak, Shen Yuanzhi and An Ping came back together.

Shen Yuanzhi pushed open the door, looked An Huajin up and down, and raised his eyebrows, "Okay, there's not a piece of meat missing." I said don't worry, the two of them are worried about it, it's like you're going to war. ”

"When I went, I was going to take Zhang Chengze and detain him, otherwise I wouldn't have brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, but when I met with him, I changed my mind and didn't treat him well. Of course, he wanted to detain me, but he couldn't. ”

Shen Yuanzhi sighed, "Listen to your tone, Zhang Chengze, this guy is not easy to mess with." ”

An Huajin took a sip of red date ginger soup, "It's not too bad to mess with, it's just that I think it's more useful to keep him alive." ”

"Oh? Listen up. Shen Yuanzhi also sat down Shen.

Anping sat around the fireplace.

An Huajin also did not hide the details of his meeting with Zhang Chengze at the Qiankun Pavilion in Fenggupo, but skipped the part that Zhang Chengze said about Gu Qingyan.

Before Shen Yuanzhi finished listening, his face turned blue and he couldn't believe it, "He said it was Xu Jing?" Sister-in-law's father? ”

Although An Qichen and Xu Qingling did not have time to get married, An Qichen died on the battlefield, Xu Qingling was not rescued because An Yining in the womb died, but, whether it is An Huajin or Shen Yuanzhi, these people who have grown up since childhood, they all call Xu Qingling sister-in-law, and they recognize the sister-in-law, and the Xu family, although the old Nanyang King took the initiative to cancel the marriage contract in order not to delay Xu Qingling's arrival, but over the years, the An family and the Xu family still have a lot of contacts, although there is no involvement of in-laws, but it is also a family of world friends who have a close relationship.

Every year, Shen Yuanzhi and An Huajin will visit Xu's house to visit Xu Jing, who has been ill for a long time.

He never imagined that Xu Jing was this kind of person, betraying his brother and his family, but he was bought by Zhang Zaifu as a killer just because of personal feelings and jealousy.

Shen Yuan couldn't accept it for a while, "Could it be that Zhang Chengze is uneasy and kind nonsense?" ”

An Huajin shook his head, "I remember that before the battle of Yuxueling, Uncle Xu had a period of time, came to the house to come to Qin, talked with his father, often until late at night, his father never defended him, nor did he hide him, Nanyang Army's army map, if he wanted to take it, he could also get it, after the first battle of Yuxueling, for half a year, he often came to visit my mother, and then my mother followed my father and brother, he was almost crazy, and he couldn't afford to be sick, maybe this is indeed the reason. Whether what Zhang Chengze said is true or false, I will go to Xu's house tomorrow to ask. Eight years have passed, and if he did, he should tell the truth. ”

Shen Yuanzhi pursed his lips, "I'll go with you tomorrow!" ”

An Huajin nodded, "Okay." ”
