In late autumn, the weather is already cool.

The rustle of fallen leaves is trampled, and the mountains are full of birch trees interspersed with a few coxagulus, a few red maples, and two rows of scattered red pines.

Looking up, the red is warm, and the yellow is dazzling.

The mottled world of light and shadow made Xiao Yang under the tree squint, and he praised: "It's a good place." ”

"Of course, since I entered Beijing, this place has become mysterious and magical. It is said that today I met the immortals here, got the help of the masters, and got the blessing of the mountain gods, so that I could lay down this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Cui Lang followed behind.

"But it's strange to say, such a feng shui treasure, why don't you put it in my Daning territory today, I heard that this place is still a group of savages in charge. But the leader of the savages named Ali has a good relationship with Imagami. ”

However, all that responded to him was the sound of the wind and the rustling of fallen leaves, and he looked up to find Xiao Yang staring at a red maple tree in a daze.

Cui Lang ran over and stared at the tree for a long time: "Is there anything special about this tree?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Yang still didn't answer, he thought about it himself: "Hmm, it seems that the leaves on this tree are redder?" Looks better than the next few trees? ”

Xiao Yang touched the trunk of the tree and turned his head sideways: "What did you say?" ”

Cui Lang was angry: "I talked about feelings for a long time, but you didn't hear a word?" I ask you what is so special about this tree! ”

Xiao Yang lowered his head and picked up a fiery red fallen leaf: "It's nothing, this tree is a bit like Qiuluyuan." ”

Cui Lang was like a quail holding his stomach, his anger was completely gone, and he said tentatively: "The relationship between mother and son, which can be broken if you say it, there is no one else here, you can rest assured." "Don't worry, I won't say it.

Li Qi didn't mean to help Changshou correct his name, but he didn't punish Xiao Yang because of Changshou.

On the contrary, because of Xiao Yang's contribution at the last moment, he and the entire Xiao family behind him were rewarded.

Although Changshou and Xiao Yu have been at odds for a long time, they are still husband and wife after all, and it is enough for Changshou to be responsible for the crime, that is, the nine clans. As soon as Changshou had an accident, the entire Xiao family was panicked. It was not until later that the new emperor ascended the throne and understood his will that it was stable.

The Xiao family's original title is naturally gone, and the mansion of the former Guogong Mansion is gone, but there is nothing else lost, people, animals, money, and even money are not filled into the treasury; And Xiao Yang not only has the reward of the marquis, but also has the real power of the official position such as the secretary of the military department.

As soon as the will came out, a group of people discussed whether the new emperor had a hole in his brain, and it was really bold to use people, and some people were jealous of Xiao Yang's good life.

When nothing happened, his father was the prince of the country, his mother was the princess of the country, and Xiao Yang's scenery was second only to the prince; After the accident, if his mother wins, he will be the prince, but if his mother doesn't win, he can still be a marquis?

Some people may be born with a good fate! Born as a firstborn control group!

However, when everyone watched and was jealous, Xiao Yang did not accept it, and when his father Xiao Yu wanted to persuade his son, he found that his son had left without knowing when, leaving only sporadic words, announcing his complete departure.

Thinking of this, Cui Lang was still a little regretful: "You said you, the saint doesn't care about it, but your own brain is muddy!" The marquis can not care, but the book of the military department can't be begged for by many people! ”

"It's long gone." Xiao Yang knew that Cui Lang would be wrong, but he didn't explain.

This tree did indeed resemble a tree in the woods near Autumn Deer Garden, why could he remember it? Because at the incense tasting meeting that year, he once made an appointment with a girl, and it was also such a golden autumn season, under such a maple tree, he wanted to test others and determine his heart.

Who knows, his mind is determined, but the girl has become someone else's.

Changshou said that she did not allow her son to marry the girl he wanted to marry, but Xiao Yang knew that even if there was no resistance from his mother, that girl would not be his.

Back in the beginning, he missed it.

"Don't move, this fat rabbit is mine!"

While Xiao Yang was pondering, a snow-white and lustrous fat rabbit came out of the fallen leaves, and Cui Lang had already drawn a bow and shot arrows.

As a result, as soon as the bow was full, it was pressed by Xiao Yang: "Forget it." ”

"Why? This rabbit is fat and round, and with it, we won't have to worry about tonight's food. Cui Lang was a little reluctant, although the rabbit had taken the opportunity to escape, he still said in pieces: "Also, don't you like to eat rabbit meat the most?" ”

"Nope."

"Huh?"

"Changed. I don't eat rabbits for a long time. Xiao Yang's tone carried some loneliness and melancholy that he didn't know.

He is not a fool, to this day, he has long noticed the abnormality on Shen Qiutan's body, she wears a sachet everywhere she goes, and her clothes are fragrant, but the more she is like this, the more she seems to want to cover up.

Because, some smells, once smelled, may never be forgotten.

The little flower cat and the fat rabbit who used to be in Jibei Prefecture, what they once doubted but were not sure of, actually had the answer in their hearts.

It's just that the answer is not what he does.

The leaves rustled, and they continued to move forward, Xiao Yang in front and Cui Lang in the back. Against the backdrop of the majestic mountains and rivers, they become more and more insignificant.

"Ji Qing, what are your plans for the future?"

Xiao Yang's footsteps paused slightly: "What about you?" The Holy One is decisive, the rewards and punishments are clear, you have made meritorious contributions, and your family expects a lot from you. ”

"Tsk, what does it have to do with me? It used to be Longqing's horse, but now it's me again? He still prides himself on being a famous family, and he doesn't look at the new emperor who doesn't eat this set at all. Cui Lang said a lot: "However, you are wrong, their expectations of me now are not as high as that Cui Divine Doctor." ”

Xiao Yang thought about it and nodded honestly.

King Qi ascended the throne, it can be said that one person has ascended to heaven, and the person who followed him is a doctor and is about to ascend to heaven. That Cui Shen Doctor Cui En was even more incredible, with the support of the queen's mother, he actually opened a special medical school, and only accepted ten disciples in the first year, not only to learn to distinguish medicine and prescribe, but also to use a knife to disembowel people.

It's just a strange anecdote, and this year is a lot more special.

And this Cui Divine Doctor is not only a big celebrity in front of the emperor and queen, but another identity is actually the illegitimate son of the Cui family. If you talk about prologue, Cui Lang has to call Cui En a cousin.

The name Cui En came even more coincidentally, it is said that Cui Lang's second uncle had an entanglement with a peasant girl after drinking, and after a night of romance, there was Cui En, the peasant girl thought that there would always be a name if she had a child, but who knew that the Cui family looked down on it, and because she felt that the noble blood was falling, it was equivalent to giving you a son, which gave you the name of "En".

The Cui family's behavior is indeed despicable.

Xiao Yang didn't say much, but said: "It turns out that I follow my mother's intentions and grandfather's teachings, and I dare not forget my responsibility every step I take, but now I want to go out and see, not to live according to the trajectory arranged by others, but to live how I want." ”

"That's good!" Cui Lang really forgot about the mess at home: "However, can you really let go of the border crisis and the righteousness of the country?" ”

Xiao Yang was silent for a moment, and said, "I can't let it go, and when I need it, I'll come back." ”

He fixed his gaze on the open river in front of him: "I heard that this side is near the sea, and there are still people who have learned shipbuilding skills among the savages. ”

Cui Lang's eyes lit up: "You mean?" ”

"Yes." A gust of wind blew, and Xiao Yang's voice was erratic but resolute, as if dancing on the waves: "The horse leather shroud is the most glorious way to die, but if we can't, we can also go outside Daning, go outside this continent, and see what else is there." ”

He turned his head and looked at Cui Lang with burning eyes: "Cui Lang, the meaning of life should be to open up rather than stick to it, you and I are all ahead." ”
