Chapter 62: Tension

"What? Is that where we live? Sheng Linyun was shocked.

"Coincidentally, you say?" Looking at Sheng Linyun's surprised eyes, Xu Shangao smiled proudly, "So for me, you are also a guest!" Saying that, Xu Shangao knocked Sheng Linyun's arm with a fan.

"Why did you leave?" Sheng Linyun was indeed a little surprised, he didn't expect such a coincidence!

"Later!" Xu Shangao knocked his head with a fan, "Later? I only remember that the streets were full of people that day, kneeling neatly in rows, and my brother said that he wanted to go back to his hometown, so he took me out of Chang'an. ”

"Kneeling in rows? What does it take people to kneel on the ground? Hearing Xu Shangao's memories, Sheng Linyun pondered, "When did it happen?" ”

"When? I can't remember this," Xu Shangao frowned and recalled carefully, "That's right! Linyun, why are you asking this? ”

"Nothing, I'm just curious!" Sheng Linyun stared at Xu Shangao directly, making Xu Shangao feel weird.

"I'll go back and ask my brother to find out, I'm fifteen years old this year, it should have been more than ten years ago, and my memory at that time was already very vague," Xu Shangao said, with an apologetic face on his face.

"More than a decade ago? I may not have even been born yet. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Sheng Linyun hurriedly joked.

"How old are you? It looks so small, but the feeling you bring me is quite stable! Xu Shangao looked at Sheng Linyun, the two were not familiar with each other before, and it would seem impolite to observe such eyes, but now it is okay.

"Me! Twelve years old! ”

"I'm eighteen years old, hehe," Han Ai shouted, and walked in from the entrance of the courtyard, "Let's have some tea and dinner on this stone table later!" ”

"It's all up to Lord Han's orders," Sheng Linyun and Xu Shangao said in unison.

"Haha! Don't call it that when my grandfather is here! Han Ai made a booing motion, but his face was happy, and he was determined to win the title of the gold list.

"Although my grandfather's peach and plum are all over the world, so I worship it very much, but my heart is finally in the court society, although it is not a big chaos in the world, but it is also considered that the country is in danger, and I am more determined to serve the country, why did the two virtuous brothers participate in the imperial examination?" Han Ai sighed.

"It's the same as Brother Han!" Xu Shangao said.

"It's divided, it's the same as Linyun. Call me Brother Ai, indeed most students should have the same idea as me" Han Ai nodded with a solemn expression, "The two virtuous brothers don't know, as the prince's companion, I can freely enter and exit the Wenlong Pavilion in the palace, this Wenlong Pavilion is the school of the princes and the nobles, I have heard too many stories of deception and domineering, there are too many wine bags and rice bags in this court, this time the emperor opened the imperial examination, it is really a great luck for my dynasty!" ”

After Han Ai finished speaking, he and Xu Shangao stared at Sheng Linyun, wanting to hear what he said, Sheng Linyun smiled slightly, "Naturally, it's the same as my brothers." ”

Although Sheng Linyun had a smile on his face, after saying a word, his heart seemed to be grabbed by brute force, and his mind was full of the scene of his mother sitting in the prison car desperately avoiding his gaze.

"Hey! The dishes are coming, the food in my Han Mansion can be regarded as the first in Chang'an, even the emperor often comes to my house to eat, haha, jokes and jokes "For Han Ai, these days should be his happiest days, he has been strict with himself since he was a child, and he has always regarded his grandfather as an idol and studied the sages hard, but when he came into contact with those high-ranking cadres, he found that the so-called etiquette, righteousness and shame seemed to be a joke that did not enter the eyes of people but imprisoned his own thoughts.

"Wrong in the book? Are they wrong? Or am I wrong? This is a question that Han Ai often thinks about, he is used to hearing the deeds of the second generation of officials who bully and dominate the market, and gradually, Han Ai feels that everyone is not wrong, what is wrong is those who control the government and hold power, and it is they who abuse their power when judging right and wrong, resulting in the breakdown of the so-called rules. Therefore, Han Ai has a deeper attachment to power than others, and these days, he feels that he is closer to that position.

The army led by Yan Gui stayed outside Huaiyuan County for a few days, and the emperor's holy decree finally arrived, as he wished, the emperor's will and his own ideas fit perfectly, he would lead 70,000 soldiers and horses to Qiangrong County to defend the city, and Dong Yu led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Huaiyuan County to support Yan Qing, and Bo Pi was pressed back to the court.

Yan Gui was afraid that Ando would not be able to parry it alone, and strictly defended Qiangrong County in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the northwest of Qiangrong and circling around the Central Plains. Originally, it was only necessary to strengthen the guard of the Lion Camel City, and the enemy army would not be able to start when invading the Central Plains, but now the Lion Camel City was broken, and the enemy wanted to enter the Central Plains as smoothly as leading water into the canal.

After the operational deployment plan was completed, Yan Gui and Dong Yu respectively led the army towards the destination.

Because the army was originally close to Huaiyuan, the Huotou Army was assigned to Yangui's team, Mo Wei and his party naturally followed the Huotou Army to Qiangrong County, for Han Qing, it was the same everywhere, around Mo Wei all day long, and there was no need to work and do things, as long as Mo Wei was idle, he would not refuse her request, and the two secretly ran out of the camp to play.

On this day, because it was getting late, Yan Gui announced that he had set up camp and sent people to Qiangrong County to report the situation by the way, although it was only three days away from Qiangrong County, but for a qualified general, it was never allowed to make a state of exhaustion, in case there was a risk ahead, and his soldiers were in a state of fatigue was undoubtedly self-defeating.

After cooking the whole army's meals in the room, Han Qing couldn't make trouble, and the two secretly ran out of the camp again.

"Different, you know? I grew up in Chang'an City since I was a child, except for a time when I went to Yongjiang City with my grandfather when I was a child, and I never went far again" On the vast lawn, Han Qing ran and turned in circles, and the innocence that a girl should have was vividly and exquisitely expressed in her.

Mo Wei hesitated for a moment when he heard the three words of Yujiang City, and then caught up with Han Qing, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her seriously.

"You... What do you want? Han Qing's little face was flushed, his eyes were a little confused, and he didn't dare to look at Mo differently, but he didn't know where to look, and his little hand with nowhere to place pulled the iron wire on the armor, almost strangling blood, but he didn't know what was wrong? I'm so nervous,' Han Qing thought about it, and secretly glanced up, Mo Wei lowered his head again, "Why don't you close your eyes!" No, no, no! Closing your eyes is like acceptance! ’

"You've been to Yujiang City?" Mo Wei asked suddenly.

"Huh? Yes? Han Qing imagined hundreds of conversations in his mind, but he didn't expect Mo Yi to ask about it.

"You've been to Yujiang City?" Mo didn't think he was in a hurry and didn't ask clearly.

"I've been, what's wrong with it!" Seeing that there was a trace of seriousness in Mo Wei's eyes, Han Qing put aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind and said carefully, "When I was very young, I can't remember the specifics, but my grandfather took me and Brother Ai with me at that time." ”

"What are you going to do?" Mo Wei hurriedly asked.

"Huh?" Han Qing tried hard to make himself recall, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember a single star, "I'm sorry, it's different, I really can't remember." ”

"Okay, I'm just asking, you don't have to care" Mo Wei saw Han Qing's embarrassment and comforted.

"I just remember that I used to beg my grandfather to take me out to play, but he was very busy, and he coaxed me to forget it, and that time I eavesdropped outside the door... Yes! I remembered, it was the emperor who asked grandpa to go," Han Qing thought of something and shouted happily.

"Your Majesty?"

"It's not the current emperor, it's the imperial grandfather who has died!" Han Qing explained.

"It turns out that he is not the current emperor, so it has nothing to do with my brother," Mo Wei muttered in disappointment.

"What's wrong with you? It's different, I know this" Han Qing saw Mo Yi's loss, and felt that he must have said something wrong, and felt very sorry.

"What kind of place is Yujiang Castle?" Mo asked differently.

"I just remember that it was the first time I went far away, that place... It's messy. ”

"Is it messy?"

"Well, the government is arresting people everywhere."

"Don't talk about that, where do you want to go tonight?"

The evening breeze was slow, brushing Mo Wei's long hair, and then blowing onto Han Qing's face, at this moment she just wanted to stand like this forever, looking at Mo Wei without desire, for a moment, Han Qing felt that everything on this lawn had stopped moving, only the wind and her own beating heart made Han Qing feel that she was not dreaming.

"It's different, if one day, I stand in the distance and ask you to take me to play, the kind that stands far away, will you run towards me?"

"It should be, nothing else, just take you to play, my brother has been reading since he was a child, I play with monkeys, monkeys are sometimes stupid, you should be smarter than monkeys."

For Han Qing, a young girl in the flower season, it can be regarded as a romantic confession, but why did the other party talk about the monkey, it was no different with a blank look, Han Qing turned around and ran towards the woods.

"Whoosh" A sharp arrow shot out of the forest, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Mo Wei took out the dagger from his waist, judged the direction of the arrow only by his voice, and then threw it towards the sharp arrow, the dagger spun rapidly in the air, passed by Han Qing's side, instantly cut off the arrow of the sharp arrow, and then drew an arc in the air and returned to the hand of Mo Wei, who was rushing quickly.

"Han Qing! Dangerous! After catching the dagger, Mo Wei stopped Han Qing behind him and stared at the wind and grass in the woods.

"Who?" Mo Wei shouted through the trees.

"Whoosh" five sharp arrows shot out again, and the arrows converged towards Mo Wei, which showed that the archer's skills were extremely superb.

"Five directions!" Mo Wei said softly, his tone was very calm, in Peach Valley's training program, such sharp arrows generally need to be taken by him with his bare hands, but now he is in danger, and Han Qing is here, he can't take risks, so Mo Wei rubbed Han Qing's waist with one hand, held the dagger with the other, and began to move quickly.
