The turmoil in the Meng family gradually subsided, and the time turned to the end of the year, and the weather became colder and colder. Jiang Ziyu spent all day in the house, wishing to shrink by the charcoal basin all day.

"What's wrong?" Nan Huaifeng was a little sad when he came back from the lower court, Jiang Ziyu hugged Tang Pozi and asked in a low voice.

Nan Huaifeng handed her a few urgent letters, explaining: "Recently, the war in the west has been tight, and the martial champion who was just selected this year is too young to lead troops, so I am worried about who to send to suppress it." ”

He also mentioned this matter to the court this morning, and those old ministers actually persuaded him to send people to negotiate peace, what is there to talk about? Those co-authors grabbed a pass at the border, and he still has to lower his body to make peace? The state of Chu is a big country, and if you make peace with a tribe, won't the surrounding small countries all go to heaven?

Because of this matter, Nanhuai's morale is not light, and none of those princes who were once military generals dared to go, dealing with a small tribe like Xirong, and asking him to personally lead troops to suppress it?

"It's really not good, isn't there still Wei Guogong?" Jiang Ziyu also knows that what is most lacking in the court today is military generals, and Wei Guogong has a tiger battalion under him, so he should also have good hands who can lead troops to fight.

Nan Huaifeng shook his head while flipping through the folds: "Although Wei Guogong turned against him before, I always feel at ease with him in my heart. Besides, if he leaves Beijing, the Wei family has no one to suppress him, and the Queen Mother may not be able to cause some storms. ”

"I have asked Zhuo Chong to take 50,000 people to escort the grain and grass to the border first, and what is lacking now is someone who can calm the field." There are a few junior generals in the forbidden army, but their official positions are not high.

At the beginning, the queen mother did not allow her to be awarded an official position, but she only gave a generous reward, saying anything like taboo and high merit, it should be that Nan Huaifeng had no chance to elevate their official positions.

Now that there is a war, those old generals guarding the border pass have no one in their eyes, and they will send a few unknown generals at will, even if they go out next to him, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, they will not really be taboo.

Jiang Ziyu sat on the side dragging his chin to help him think of a suitable candidate, but this morning star led Jiang Yibai, who came to visit, over.

"Why are you here at this time? Something happened to Dali Temple? Nan Huaifeng rubbed his eyebrows, if Jiang Yibai came to reminisce about the past, he would not come when he was still resting, there must be something.

Jiang Yibai shook his head, glanced at his sister slightly, and then pursed his lips and said, "I want to go to the border pass." ”

"Huh?" Nan Huaifeng was stunned for a moment, put down the music in his hand and asked as if he was not sure, "What did you say?" ”

Jiang Yibai had a hint of firmness in his eyes, and said again very seriously: "I want to go to the border pass." ”

Nan Huaifeng never thought of letting Jiang Yibai go, after all, Ziyu values this second brother very much, and he is also Ziyu's mother's family, let him go to such a poor place at the border, can Ziyu agree?

"Second brother, why did you suddenly make such a decision? Although you haven't chosen a good person at the moment, you don't need to toss your past trip, you won't be able to come back if you don't stay at the border for a few months. Jiang Ziyu didn't want her to go to the border, she was selfish, and wanted Jiang Yibai to be his civil official in the capital safely, and she would have a bright future in the future.

Jiang Ziyu persuaded him to join the office, wasn't it just to prevent him from drinking blood on the knife edge?

Jiang Yibai was silent for a while, knowing that if he wanted to go to the border pass, he would have to pass his sister's pass no matter what, so he could only explain truthfully: "You all know about Baili Lonely." ”

Jiang Ziyu looked like usual, didn't react, but his eyes were a little dark, but Nan Huaifeng remembered something, touched his nose and was a little embarrassed.

"He disbanded the organization, and I wanted to help him change his identity." The look in Jiang Yibai's eyes was a little unclear, Jiang Ziyu raised his eyes to look at him, and frowned slightly: "Second brother, between you and him, seriously?" ”

"For the sake of brotherhood, I should also help him. Baili Lin had a very difficult life before, his original identity was a slave, and his later identity was not bright, I want to give him an identity that can live in the sun. ”

Jiang Yibai couldn't say what he was thinking in his heart, the only thing he could confirm was that he must go to the border and go with Baili Lin to change him from the identity of a killer to a soldier who defends the country.

"Then it's better to let Baili Lin go by himself, his kung fu is so high, and nothing will happen." Jiang Ziyu has relatives in her heart, this Baili Lonely is really good, and she really coaxed her second brother to pick up the knife again.

"Actually, I also think that the civil official is not suitable for me, it may be that I ......" Jiang Yibai also tried to defend himself, but Jiang Ziyu didn't listen to him, and went out wearing a fox velvet cloak.

Jiang Yibai still wanted to chase after the explanation, Nan Huaifeng opened his mouth lightly: "You let her think about it, now she is a relative of yours, but you have to go to the border for a man to endure hardships and risks, she will definitely not feel good in her heart." ”

"You've seen everything from last time." Jiang Yibai didn't shy away from anything, Nan Huaifeng had gone to him before going to the palace. happened to bump into Baili Lin kissing him, although Nan Huaifeng pretended not to see it at the time, but then he handed over the task of staring at King Rui to Baili Lian, if he didn't know, how could he trust a killer?

Nan Huaifeng didn't hide it, reached out and poured him a cup of hot tea, motioned for him to sit down, and said.

"Ziyu has his concerns, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with the two men being together, she is just worried about your future." Nan Huaifeng saw it clearly, if Baili Lonely didn't like Jiang Yibai, Ziyu didn't bother to care who he was with.

Every time she mentioned it to Ziyu, she avoided talking about it, obviously unwilling.

"I know, I didn't say I would be with him in the future, did I? Lord, you can help me persuade Ziyu. Jiang Yibai also understands her sister, and no one else can say anything about what she has identified, except for Nan Huaifeng.

Nan Huaifeng sighed faintly, put down the tea and nodded: "It may not be possible to persuade or not, but you had better think clearly, if you really go with Baili Lin in the future, Ziyu is afraid that he will really cut him with a knife." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Yibai was also entangled in his heart, he himself didn't know what he felt about Baili Lone, he really just regarded him as a friend at the beginning, until Bai Lilin kissed him, it seemed that everything had changed.

Jiang Ziyu sat alone in the corridor and looked coldly at Xiao Su in the garden, now it is winter, except for the winter chrysanthemum that is still blooming, the rest is covered with a layer of cold gray.

"Not cold?" Nan Huaifeng hugged a newly filled soup woman to her. Jiang Ziyu took his hand, put the slightly cold Tang Pozi aside, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, my second brother is gone?" ”

"Well, let's go." Nan Huaifeng didn't rush to say anything, but sat directly beside Jiang Ziyu and accompanied her to stare at the scenery in the courtyard in a daze.

After a while, Jiang Ziyu slowly spoke: "The identity of Baili Lone's past cannot be erased, if it is just a killer in the rivers and lakes, it is still a famous character in the Jiangnan area." Some people can find out everything as long as they look it up. If the second brother is with him, I am afraid that he will have to suffer gossip in the future. ”

"I know what you're worried about, but your second brother isn't a kid either, he always knows what he wants, doesn't he?" Nan Huaifeng whispered, and Jiang Ziyu lowered his eyes slightly—it was true.

But she still doesn't want to be a hundred miles of silence, the second brother will exchange his future for him to be fair, but can he live a lifetime with the second brother? Resist the gossip together?

"You can leave this matter to your second brother, seeing that Baili Lin is also attentive to him, he has helped you so much just because you are a little similar to Jiang Yibai." Nan Huaifeng rarely began to say good things about others.

Jiang Ziyu looked at him coldly, and couldn't help but mock lightly: "But it's not your second brother who has a crush on me." ”

Nan Huaifeng touched his nose, reached out to hold her hand, and said, "No, isn't this about your second brother going to the border, why did it get to my second brother's head?" My second brother died young, but even if he likes men, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Jiang Ziyu rolled his eyes, but he also calmed down and thought about Nan Huaifeng's words, Baili Lin did take care of her a lot because of the second brother, but this could not be a reason for her to let the second brother go to the border.

"Your second brother is not an ordinary person, when he first entered Dali Temple, many people can say behind his back that he borrowed your relationship, he has a lot of ability, you want him to be in the capital all the time, and be looked down upon?"

Nan Huaifeng continued to speak slowly, Jiang Ziyu's ears moved slightly-her second brother was naturally powerful, and he was very popular in the rivers and lakes alone.

"Don't pick good things to say, my second brother can let you persuade me, it can be seen that he is resolute." Jiang Ziyu is not a fool, she is just a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She hopes that her second brother will be safe and secure in the capital in the future, marry a wife and have children, and enjoy the joy of humanity. Instead of following Baili Lonely, he was cold-eyed and cold-scolded.

But if Jiang Yibai insists on taking this road, she will support it no matter what, it's a big deal to kill all those who look down on him, and let the second brother live a stable life.

Nan Huaifeng saw that her eyes were full of murderous intent, and reached out and rubbed her little head: "What do you want?" ”

"Huh? It's nothing. Jiang Ziyu didn't tell him what was in his heart, otherwise Nan Huaifeng would definitely have to lecture her again. Since being with Nan Huaifeng, it seems that he rarely kills people.

"You let him make his own decisions about your second brother's affairs, you care about him and Baili Lone's kung fu, it is better to care about your husband." Nan Huaifeng looked at her with a resentful expression, and Jiang Ziyu's side eyes were a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" You are worried about the troublesome things now, and my second brother has solved it for you, what else do you have to do? ”

"Of course it is." Nan Huaifeng stretched out his hand to clasp the back of her head, brought her forward slightly, and then lowered his head to cover her soft lips, the cold wind around her blew lightly, but it couldn't blow a touch of spring under the corridor.

Nan Huaifeng no longer tasted it lightly, but deepened the kiss, and the gentle and meticulous movements made Jiang Ziyu's face flush.

"That's cute." It took a long time for Nan Huaifeng to let go of her, looking at the shiny light on her mouth, and a blush rising on her cheeks, she couldn't help but pinch her face happily with her hand.

Jiang Ziyu slapped his hand away, and went back to the room with a strained face, Nan Huaifeng pursed the corners of his mouth unsatisfactorily, he didn't miss the panic in Ziyu's eyes just now because of shyness.
