Everyone didn't even know where the man in black had left, and they all looked confused, looking at the void inexplicably.

Hua Xiyan was surrounded by a cloud of black, and she couldn't help blinking as she looked at the person in front of her who was tightly wrapped from head to end.

Xu was because of the true qi that had just moved, and a tearing pain suddenly came from Hua Xiyan's lower abdomen, which couldn't help but make her face white all of a sudden.

Getu didn't know where to get a pill and stuffed it into Huaxi's cigarette mouth, and the labor pain was much better in an instant.

"Thank you for saving me." Hua Xiyan stabilized his mind, and then thanked him.

"Not necessarily." Getu's voice was as hoarse as ever, sounding terrible, he gently placed Hua Xiyan on the ground outside the city, and said in a deep voice: "No need! "

"Grid ......"

"He's waiting for you at Binh Duong Pass." With that, Getu turned around and disappeared again.

"Miss!" Feng Tao, Wen Xia and others, who had been waiting outside for a long time, hurriedly ran over and helped Hua Xiyan into the carriage.

, The carriage was padded with a thick cushion, so although the speed was not slow, Hua Xiyan still didn't feel much bumps.

"Xiao Gongzi just let go of the peaceful time in the capital and rushed to this bloody storm without hesitation?" Hua Xiyan, who was restless in the carriage, opened the curtain and talked to Xiao Quan outside.

She had to speak to divert her attention a little, otherwise one of her hearts would be on Yun Qi, and she would be terrified and panicked, she was afraid that she would go crazy before she reached Pingyang Pass.

"With my parents at home, even if I come out, there will be no delay." Xiao Quan said in a clear voice, "Besides, the peace in the capital is only temporary, who knew that the war would burn to the capital that day?" I have read a lot of military books since I was a child, so naturally I also want to find a place to try my skills, and this battlefield is naturally the best choice. The splendid rivers and mountains are beautiful, who doesn't want to paint their own strong strokes on it? ”

Listening to these words that can be called grandiose words, Hua Xiyan smiled indifferently: "The man's ambition is naturally precious, but the price of this is immeasurable, Xiao Gongzi is not afraid of a careless one, blood stained the country?" ”

"Ha......" Xiao Quan suddenly laughed aloud, "It's just a life, it's already extremely happy to be able to witness and personally participate in this strong and powerful battle for the deer, if you use your own blood to dye a new totem for this great river and mountain, it may not be a good thing." ”

"Everyone in the world says that the children of high-ranking officials are smoked by glory and wealth, and they only have three inches in front of them in their eyes, and they can't see anything other than their own interests, but Xiao Gongzi's words are really surprising, and they are really people from the Xiao family in Lanling!" Hua Xiyan gave his appreciation unabashedly.

Xiao Quan smiled lightly, and did not feel proud of his duty because of the praise: "What the Lanling Xiao family said is good, but it is only the glory accumulated by the ancestors, and there is nothing to show off." ”

"Then why didn't Xiao Gongzi go to take the civil service examination?" Zihan suddenly spoke up and asked suspiciously, "With the material of Young Master Xiao, if he participated in the civil official examination, he would already have a place for Gongzi in the court now." ”

Hua Xiyan nodded, Zihan's question was exactly what she wanted to ask.

"Although the minister is his master, only the lord chooses the minister, and the minister cannot change the lord. But what is the situation of Shengtian now, you can see clearly. The emperor's edict is not below the people, and the public opinion does not reach the court, even if he joins the government, he only serves such a group of people. I have carefully observed all the year round, and I can naturally see the sufferings of the people, and since I want to enter the office, I naturally have to do things for the people, instead of serving those few lackeys who look like dogs. ”

Listening to Xiao Quanman's disdainful words, Hua Xiyan finally understood: "So Miss Xiao and Ning Ye left together, so the Xiao family didn't stop it?" ”

Xiao Quan was noncommittal.

"The Xiao family surrendered so quickly, aren't they afraid that they will lose their old book when the time comes?" Hua Xiyan raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile.

"Don't be afraid." Xiao Quan's tone was extremely light, but it was firm, "Besides, does the eldest princess think that the Xiao family is still the same Xiao family as before?" Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has exploited the family in every way, and the Xiao family is naturally not immune. Especially Tongtong or the head of the Xiao family, the head of the family has run away with the thief, can the emperor still be indifferent? "

Hua Xiyan's eyes flashed slightly, and he sighed lightly and said: "The struggle for power has always been cruel. "

"But so what?" Xiao Quan raised his neck and said with a righteous and stern face, "The Xiao family's family background is not in the capital, no matter what others think, Tongtong is still the head of my Xiao family, no matter how it changes, the Xiao family's family motto will not change." "

Hua Xiyan couldn't help but hook her lips and laugh.

What we want is this kind of ally, an ally who will unswervingly support at all times, give support to the best of their ability, and never betray it.

The Xiao family will naturally not defect, not to mention the reputation and personality of the Xiao family, and Xiao Yerong, that is her sister-in-law, what a close in-law relationship!

Looking at the shallow smile on Hua Xiyan's lips, Wen Xia's heart that had been tense also fell slightly, just now Miss Yi Yi frowned tightly, and there was nothing else in her eyes except worry, she was really afraid that she would fall if she couldn't hold on to Pingyang Pass.

Fortunately, Hua Xiyan was in a good state, and he was so anxious that he simply threw the carriage and rode directly, and two days later, the group arrived at Pingyang Pass quickly.

Yu Qi said that Pingyang Pass is a pass, but it is better to say that it is a valley. This is the time when the snow is closed, and the mountains on both sides are the places where the camp is set up, separated by a wide ravine.

Now the weather is not very cold, the morning sun rises, the warm sun shines on the forest, and a very thick mist rises, which looks fluttering like Penglai Wonderland. The clouds and mist are shrouded, the birds are singing, and the faint smell of rice cooking by the army comes from, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a saber rattling.

Huaxi Yan took the reins of the horse, looked up, and clearly saw the extremely swaggering banner among the mountains and ravines, and the word "cloud" on it was majestic and magnificent.

Thinking of something, Hua Xiyan pursed his lips and hit his horse again and walked towards the place he saw.

Suddenly, there was a horse in front of him in the middle of the road, blocking Hua Xiyan's way.

Hua Xiyan stopped the horse again, looked at the back in front of him, the corners of his lips pursed tightly, and a pair of beautiful eyes were full of complicated looks.

Zihan on the side had already drawn his sword and was in a defensive posture, although Xiao Quan did not move, but one hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword hanging in front of the horse.

The person in front of him slowly turned his horse's head around, looked at Hua Xiyan, and looked at her deeply, and it seemed that there was no other scenery in those peach blossom eyes except for her.

After a long time, Ning Xi's gaze moved away from Hua Xiyan's face and looked at Xiao Quan on the side.

Xiao Quan's demeanor did not change in the slightest, without a trace of embarrassment, fear or guilt, just a light expression and calmly looking back at Ning Xi.

originally thought that Ning Xi would say something to Xiao Quan, but to Hua Xiyan's surprise, Ning Xi looked at Hua Xiyan again: "I have something I want to say to you alone." ”

Hua Xiyan's frowning brows have not been loosened, and he wanted to refuse without hesitation, but looking at Ning Xi's much thinner figure and pale face, as well as the tiredness that his whole body could not hide, he couldn't say anything if he refused.

Seeing that Hua Xi was smoking for a long time but didn't say a word, Ning Xi suddenly hooked his lips and couldn't help laughing softly. He smiled very happily, and the tiredness around him and the gloom between his brows seemed to have dissipated most of them because of this laughter, and even the morning sun behind him was flattered by this smile.

After a while, Hua Xiyan spoke: "Okay! ”

"Miss!" Asked Xia was surprised, and couldn't help but call softly.

Along the way, the young lady was so anxious to go back to see Yun Qi Gongzi, but this was almost at the door, why did she talk to this Holy Heaven New Emperor here?

"You go back first, and I'll be there later." Hua Xiyan looked at Zihan, then at Xiao Quan, and commanded.

Xiao Quan nodded, beat the horse and walked to the other side, taking away Zihan and Wen Xia, who still wanted to say something.

Ning Xi turned his head, looked at the heroic posture on the horse, and said lightly: "I really didn't expect that the Xiao family would vote for you so quickly." ”

The word "you" made Hua Xiyan deeply feel the distance between the two and the extremely distant sense of alienation.

"The Xiao family has already voted for us." Hua Xiyan corrected Ning Xi's words.

"The Yun family raises millions of soldiers, and with the help of Wang Xiao and other families, in the eyes of the outside world, I am bound to lose, right?" Ning Xi looked at Hua Xiyan's delicate but indifferent face, and spoke dismally, but he didn't know who he was really asking.

Hua Xiyan did not answer.

"I finally met you, and you are so dumb?" Ning Xi blinked, and suddenly laughed.

But Hua Xiyan obviously felt the sourness in the words "it's not easy" he said.

"When did it start?" Hua Xiyan said in response to the question.

Ning Xi narrowed his eyes, looked at the bottomless ravine on the side, and said softly: "Who can say this, but by the time I find out, it's already too late." ”

"The first time you saw me, you knew I was your sister. I really don't know if I'm too lucky, or if your vision is too unique. Hua Xiyan sighed and spoke, his indifferent face shattered into a gentle smile, like a bright warm sun that has melted thousands of years of ice and snow.

"Yes, liking is liking, it has nothing to do with blood." Ning Xi also smiled and said in an extremely peaceful tone.

Hua Xiyan originally wanted to ask Ning Xi if he knew whether his feelings were admiration or admiration, but he took it back when the words came to his lips.

Ning Xi is not a child, so he can naturally distinguish his feelings clearly, and when he looks at himself, his peach blossom eyes do not have the amorous nature of the past, but are full of seriousness. The pitch-black pupils couldn't see it at a glance, but Hua Xiyan could clearly see the reflection of her figure inside, as if she had carved her into the bottom of her heart, and in front of such eyes, any questioning words became pale bubbles.

"But I don't have that kind of affection for you." After a while, Hua Xiyan heard his extremely calm voice.

"I know." Ning Xi still smiled lightly, and said in a clear voice, his warm and playful appearance seemed to let Hua Xiyan see the five princes who were hanging in the past, instead of the dark and gloomy Emperor of the Holy Heaven.
