Chapter 34: The Storm and the Clouds Are Surging and the Jade Dragon is Shocked (2)
The cold wind came, the tip of his nose couldn't help but blush slightly, and Yu Zijin shrank his hands that were exposed outside the big cloud, and he was a little stiff.
Suddenly, as far as the eye could see, on the pancake stall not far away, there seemed to be a young man in a crimson suit, the red jade on his forehead seemed to be glowing, and the facial features of the young man were more three-dimensional and beautiful.
"Yuan Qi!" Yu Zijin was in a good mood for a moment, and raised his hand to greet the young man loudly.
On the other hand, in front of the stall, Xuanyuan, who was taking the pancakes, was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound, and then followed the source of the sound, the corners of his mouth with a smile almost invisibly sank, and the streamer flashed, and the "Xiao Ran" in his mouth was swallowed alive.
She is Yu Zijin, the daughter of the king of the Dongqi War, who is responsible for the righteousness of the country, not Ling Youran, a free-spirited folk girl in the rivers and lakes.
Coincidentally, a group of merchants driving camels walked slowly from the street separated by the two, and the loaded goods blocked Yu Zijin's sight from time to time, leaving her to stop in place in a hurry, looking at the figure of the person opposite.
"Yuan Qi! Eh, what about people? Finally, when the convoy drove past and the road was passed, Yu Zijin found that the figure in front of the pancake stall had disappeared.
I ran quickly to the stall and looked around, but I couldn't find the crimson again. Since the last time Yulong Mountain said goodbye, there has been no news of Xuanyuanqi, I don't know if he was injured, I don't know where he went.
Because he was afraid that Xuanyuan Tuo would ask, he didn't dare to take the initiative to mention Xuanyuan in front of him, and whenever the topic was a little biased, Yu Zijin would quietly say a few words, for fear that Xuanyuan Tuo would know about it and blame him.
Fang finally met again, thinking that it was fate, and God was deep, but in the end he failed to catch the afterimage that flashed by.
Yu Zijin's expression darkened, and he looked at the clouds that were gradually lowering and darkening, and his thoughts were a little wandering.
Lin Xiao has not arrived, and the plan to return to Dongqi has still not been put on the agenda. Moreover, just looking at the general's attitude towards Xuanyuan Tuo, I think that his identity in Beiyuan is also extraordinary, and it is always a bit rude to "rely on" people like this.
Moreover, for some reason, from the beginning of the cloud tower, there was a faint uneasiness in my heart. It's probably because I've been away from home for too long, and I don't have relatives around to accompany me, so I'm not used to it.
Thoughts drifted back slowly, the cold wind wiped his face, and he shook the shack on the pancake stall on the side.
Look at this day, is it going to snow again?
Sure enough, when twilight was approaching, snowflakes began to fall outside, and it was not until the next morning that the snow stopped slightly. However, the sky was still a little dark, and even though it was almost noon, it still looked like the morning light was faint.
Yu Zijin wore a snow-colored robe and a solid-colored coat and went out early. Yesterday, I made an appointment with the boy who sold sugar gourds to meet in the south of the city, and I couldn't miss the appointment for no reason, and I couldn't help but be a little excited to see the old man who set up a stall when I was a child.
"Xiao Ran." Xuanyuan Tuo walked from the small garden, and said softly. Next to him, Xuanyuan Qi with a faint expression, was wearing yesterday's crimson regular clothes.
"Brother Yuan Tuo, Yuan Qi!" The corners of Yu Zijin's lips raised slightly, and he walked quickly to the two of them, and saw Xuanyuan Tuo standing in a daze, so he put on a look of annoyance and reproach, and glared at Xuanyuan, "I called you on the street yesterday, why didn't you say hello and there would be no shadow." ”
After speaking, Xuanyuan came back to his senses and looked at Yu Zijin's menacing appearance, and couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed. Yesterday I was restless, I really didn't act well, and I should have apologized, but now Xuanyuan Tuo is also here, and Yu Zijin is a little overwhelmed when he says this.
In fact, Xuanyuan Qi didn't go far yesterday, but quickly hid in the alley on the side, silently watching Yu Zijin running in excitement throughout the whole process, and leaving with a sense of loss.
According to his own temperament, even if he knew that she was the daughter of the king of war, he would pretend to be stupid and face it calmly. Unexpectedly, when I met again, my first reaction was to flee.
When did I become so weak? Or, because he wasn't ready and didn't think about how to face Yu Zijin's sincere heart.
"I ......"
"I blame me for this, I was in a hurry to find Xiao Qi at the time, I thought he was thinking in his heart that he wanted to come to see me quickly, and he didn't notice Xiao Ran that you were calling him." Seeing Xuanyuan Qi's embarrassed look, Xuanyuan Tuo smiled slightly, and said softly, "Xiaoqi, you said yes." ”
"Hmm...... I'm sorry. Xuanyuan was stunned at first, then lowered his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, took Xuanyuan Tuo's words, and apologized in a deep voice.
"By the way, is Xiao Ran going out, if it's convenient, you might as well let Xiao Qi follow, it's safer." Xuanyuan Tuo is still that gentle appearance.
"Okay." Yu Zijin didn't shirk it, anyway, he just wanted to see the old man, and it was nothing to bring Xuanyuan up. Just like to avoid Xuanyuan Tuo, ask him where he went after leaving Jade Dragon Mountain that day, and why he didn't say goodbye.
"I ......" subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after seeing Yu Zijin's expectant eyes, he silently retracted it, sighed slightly in his heart, adjusted his emotions, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Then let's go." ”
Seeing the figures of the two walking farther and farther away, Xuanyuan Tuo couldn't help frowning. It is impossible for him not to feel the strangeness of his younger brother, if Xuanyuan Qi really knows Yu Zijin's true identity, then his current state ......
"Xiaoqi, my brother hopes that you can always remember your identity and don't do stupid things." Xuanyuan Tuo muttered softly, then his eyes drooped slightly, and he slowly turned to leave, "Someone come, pass on my order, from now on, close the city." ”
"Yes."
Or maybe it was because it snowed overnight yesterday, and the snow on the road has not cleared, and there are many fewer people setting up stalls on the street than yesterday. Yu Zijin and Xuanyuan Qi walked on the slightly depressed avenue, speechless all the way.
I could clearly hear the rustling sound of my feet stepping on the snow, and I could feel the intermittent cold wind, which scratched my cheeks a few times from time to time.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Qi was just walking with his head down and not saying a word, Yu Zijin didn't know where to start for a while, and his words were held back.
"You ......" "You ......"
The two of them, who are usually noisy, seem to be not used to the silence of the moment, and speak at the same time. But after hearing the other party's voice, he tacitly stopped the momentum of continuing to speak.
"Poof-" Yu Zijin couldn't help laughing, looked at Xuanyuan Qi, whose face was red, and suddenly lost the restraint of Fang Cai, "Why haven't you seen you for a few days, you have become so shy, is this still the Yuan Qi I know?"
Could it be that after leaving Yulong Mountain a few days ago, what opportunity did he get and be reborn? ”
Xuanyuan lifted his heart slightly, and finally let go of it. Originally, when I heard Yu Zijin mention the matter of Yulong Mountain, I couldn't help but be afraid that she already knew what happened that day, but seeing this now, she should still be kept in the dark.
Although she doesn't know this fashion, if one day, she knows that she is the seventh prince of Kitahara, will she blame him for his deception, and will she be a stranger from now on.
After all, now the two armies are facing each other, her father and her brother. Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Qi couldn't help but tighten his heart again, and a trace of unbearability flashed from his eyes in an instant.
Lies are like quicksand, which cannot withstand the wind and waves, and if you hold it lightly, you can only watch everything that has accumulated and slide through your fingers.
"It's nothing, when I saw you being taken away by Gongzi Lin that day, I will go to Brother Xu first." Looking at Yu Zijin, who was staring at him seriously, Xuanyuan Qi couldn't help but feel guilty, "That, that, Sister-in-law Xu said that the roof was leaking, I, let me repair it." ”
"Eh, why are you still stumbling, I don't blame you, I'm joking with you. Just worried that you're getting lost outside and can't find your way home. The atmosphere warmed up slightly, and Yu Zijin teased.
"You're lost, and I'm not you." Xuanyuan Qi also unloaded his heart for a while, and returned to his former playful appearance, and the corners of his mouth rose, revealing his two little tiger teeth.
The two were fighting one by one, and they didn't notice that at the mouth of the alley not far away, there was an ink-colored figure, and the person who came frowned slightly, looking at Yu Zijin and Xuanyuan Qi with an annoyed face.
"Miss!" A young man dressed in red stumbled towards Yu Zijin, holding a grass and wood stick in his hand, and the head of the stick was full of large, red sugar gourds.
Hearing this, Yu Zijin waved to the young man enthusiastically, and explained to Xuanyuan Qi, who looked puzzled on his side, "When I was a child, I often went to his grandfather's stall to buy sugar gourds, but I didn't expect to meet him in Beiyuan. ”
"So you came out on a snowy day just to see him?" Xuanyuan couldn't help frowning slightly, looking at the strange young man in front of him who was wearing a cloth shirt, but there was an indescribable weirdness.
"Yes, he said that his grandfather was also in Beiyuan, so we made an appointment to meet him. Speaking of which, several years have passed, and I don't know how his old man is doing recently. After that, the young man had already come to him, Yu Zijin looked behind him, and his face was puzzled, "Eh, isn't the old man with you?" ”
The young man curled the corners of his mouth and said, "It snowed last night, and grandpa's knees were a little uncomfortable, so he stayed at home." But because I made an appointment with Miss yesterday, I didn't miss the appointment, so I was asked to come, if Miss is convenient, would you like to go to our place to see? ”
After speaking, he took off a string of sugar gourds on the grass and wood sticks, and handed it to Yu Zijin, "I just made it this morning, Miss try it to see if it tastes good." ”
"Okay, then you can lead the way." Yu Zijin took the sugar gourd handed by the young man, responded with a smile, and followed with a step.
Seeing that Yu Zijin was about to leave without saying a word, Xuanyuan Qi frowned again, "You ......" Before he finished speaking, Yu Zijin grabbed his wrist and took him away.
I don't know if it's his own delusion, Xuanyuan Qi always feels that the young man leading the way in front of him, whenever he looks back and laughs with Yu Zijin, he seems to look at him, but he will quickly retract it and continue to walk forward.
There is a thick layer of cocoons on the tiger's mouth on the right hand of the young man holding the stick of grass and wood, which should be the work of the hand after a long time. But on the contrary, if it is said that it is left behind by holding a sword all year round, it is not unavoidable......
