Changing his title, Qin Xun also straightened his expression, bent his fingers and knocked on the stone under him and said: "Tangerine is born in Huainan for orange, born in Huaibei is orange, the orange of Chang'an should be nourished by the fertile soil of Chang'an, I have been in Pingzhou for six years, this water and soil can provide me with nutrients, I am almost dry." Returning to the city, I can't be reduced to the orange of Pingzhou. ”

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Xun himself continued: "My mother, they don't want to throw me here for the rest of their lives, it's just that they have been difficult to make a decision about when to call me back. But returning to the city, not only me, but also you, I don't believe that you will be willing to continue to avoid it for a few years, you are not a person who is willing to retreat at all, you and I are not allowed to stay out of the matter, and one day we will be unavoidable. As long as your suspicious emperor father reigns for one day, the Chang'an court will definitely be treacherous and fighting. Even if ......" he closed his eyes, "even if the emperor dies and changes to a new emperor, this battle will not end easily, Gaozu died too early, and the mess he left behind has not been able to ...... for more than twenty years"

"Qin Xun!" Qi Jing was rarely angry, pulled him over the body that was originally leaning on his side, arched his back at the level of him, stared at his eyes, frowned between his eyebrows, "Shut up, this kind of rebellious words, don't say anything in the future!" Otherwise...... I will not be spared. ”

It's a rarity.

Qin Xun can be said to have known Qi Jing since birth, Qi Jing is gentle by nature, and rarely says anything serious to people, even if Qin Xun occasionally makes too much trouble, he will only see him symbolically scolding a few words with a flat face, and he can fool the past by being coquettish. When he grew so big, it was the first time he heard Qi Jing so angry that he even took his name and surname to stop him, and it even made him feel a little strange and fresh to be pleased.

Qin Xun stared at him without blinking, looking at his somewhat deformed appearance reflected in his inky pupils, he somehow laughed and asked a slightly tricky question: "Are you so angry, are you angry that I said that about your father, or are you just worried that I will come out of my mouth?" ”

I was ready that Qi Jing would answer "both", and I didn't want Qi Jing to stare at him and say nothing.

He didn't give up, and said, "Never forgive? You can spare me now, talk about the saint in vain, speak disrespectfully, this is a big crime, it is not too much to kill me, as long as you want you can kill it now...... Hmmm......"

Qi Jing covered his mouth tightly, there were faint green tendons on his forehead, and his voice trembled slightly with anger: "Have you said enough?" Full of nonsense all day long, when will you let me worry less about snacks for you! ”

Qin Xun looked at him fixedly for a long time, suddenly became difficult, turned over and got off the stone and plunged into his arms, resting his chin on his shoulder, wrapping his arms around his waist, and didn't even care if the folding fan fell to the ground and was broken by his own foot.

Qi Jing heard a crisp sound of a broken fan bone in his ears, and his arms were fully occupied, and the warm touch of the young man's body ironed through the thin clothes of late summer and early autumn, and instantly smoothed the anger rising in his chest.

Qi Jing sighed lowly.

"Cousin, don't murder me." Qin Xun's arms around his waist tightened again, "You hug me." ”

"If you can make me feel more relieved, how can I murder you?" Qi Jing blamed in his mouth, but his tone had eased most of the time, and his hand was put on his waist and hugged him in his arms.

The sun was setting in the west, reflecting the sparkling surface of the river, the mountains and rivers were shallowly plated with a layer of warm yellow, and the color of the young man's bright red clothes was filtered by the warm color of the sunset, and he softened a little bit, and he nested quietly in Qi Jing's arms, looking very obedient.

Qi Jing's fingers hooked the hairband around his waist a few times, and his heart was really so obedient.

"Qi Jing, I'm scared." Not deliberately pretending to be coquettish, Qin Xun hugged him and calmly told him, "Your father has already reached a hands-on stall, he really wanted to kill me, the family backed down, I avoided that time, but I have always been uneasy all these years, if it goes forward, when my grandfather and maternal grandfather are gone, the Qin family and the Lin family are no longer in charge, the emperor is completely out of scruples, I am afraid that I will become the second Zhang Huahou by then." No, if it were me, I wouldn't even be able to live as Zhang Huahou, if I didn't have the ability to protect myself, I was afraid that one day I would die without a place to bury! ”

Qi Jingsong's hand holding him tightened suddenly, patted him on the back incessantly, and comforted: "No, don't say frustrating words, isn't there still me, I won't let you have anything to do." As he spoke, he inevitably sighed.

It is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the house early, who can say that the children of wealthy families do not know the warmth of human feelings early and the impermanence of the world.

"Ah Xun, in fact, this time I came to Pingzhou, my father asked me to supervise a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, and he also ...... Tell me to take you back to Chang'an. You're so smart, you probably guessed, otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up to me, wouldn't you? Qi Jing rubbed the back of his head, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"My mother called my eldest brother here?"

Qi Jing bowed: "General Qin retreated to the Western Liao Kingdom two months ago, and when my father rewarded you, he carried you, saying that you have left Beijing since you were a child, and you have been practicing abroad for several years. General Lin said that I must be strict about the affairs of the inspector and not be distracted by family and private matters, so he asked the chief to take care of you. "General Qin is Qin Xun's father, General Qin Zhenhai, and General Lin is his mother, General Lin Chu. Qi Jing is no more affectionate than Qin Xun to the concubine "aunt, aunt", because of the constraints of identity and etiquette, he has always called Qin Xun's mother Lin Chu with the other party's military position.

What kind of festive reunion is an excuse to call him back to Chang'an, even if there is no triumph of his father Qin Zhenhai's retreat, and there is no Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the one sitting on the dragon chair can find something to call Qin Xun back at will.

After all, if you put it outside and let it go, how can you rest assured when you look at it under your nose?

"It seems that it's not just me, they're almost realizing that I've been out there for too long." Qin Xun chuckled half-self-deprecatingly.

"Don't be afraid, there's me." It's useless to talk more, Qi Jing only hopes that he can at least rely on himself.

"Well, I'm not afraid." Qin Xun leaned his head in the direction of his neck, and the soft hair rubbed against Qi Jing's cheeks and neck, bringing a vague feeling of feathers.

Qi Jing felt a strange panic for no reason, and hurriedly pushed him a few inches away, opened his eyes in the confused and dissatisfied gaze cast by the young man, straightened his clothes and glanced at the wreckage of the folding fan on the ground: "Why don't you pay attention?" ”

Qin Xun also glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's okay, the bargains bought in the market are rough in texture, and they often need to be replaced. ”

"I thought you liked it."

"Is this a thing? I really don't like it very much.,It's just that I'm idle in my hand.,Lack of some things to play with.,I'm interested in it for a while.,If I have some other novelty to play with.,Eighty percent of them will lose interest in this thing.。 ”

Somehow, after hearing this, Qi Jing looked at his delicate eyebrows for a long time, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his words: "If you really have a happy heart, you must cherish each other, don't make that joke and despise each other." ”

"Okay, you're getting more reasonable." Qin Xun still remembered that he dusted off his clothes after he told himself to get up, so he took care of it twice at this time, and asked him: "What kind of elder did you say you wanted to see, and you can't see it yet?" ”

"See you of course." I don't know who is taking advantage of the time to rest. Qi Jing habitually stretched out his hand to nod his forehead, just as Qin Xun lowered his head and finished sorting out his clothes and raised his eyes to meet his gaze, Qi Jing didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, his movements suddenly stiffened, and after a pause, he nodded lightly on his forehead, and said, "Let's go." ”

The two of them went all the way to the south, the left side was the endless flowing water, and the right side at this time, with the slow progress of the two, a reed bush gradually appeared from sparse to dense, and there was no end in sight when they raised their eyes. The height of the reeds is as high as Qin Xun's shoulders, and now the reed flowers are blooming in the season from summer to autumn, and they are white-green, white-green, mixed with a little brownish.

Along the riverbank, there is a gap between the river and the reeds, and there is still room for one person to walk, but the two are slightly crowded in parallel, and after a few steps, the arms of the two inadvertently rub together.

Qi Jing's footsteps faltered, stopped for a moment, and then stayed one step behind Qin Xun.

The sun was setting slowly and slowly towards the mountains to the west, and the afterglow on the horizon was as red as fire, and the sand and gravel near the ferry port had turned into moist soil under the feet. Qin Xun was in a panic without a folding fan in his hand, so he casually broke off a reed pole in front of him that was too flamboyant and stretched to the middle of the road, and held it in his hand and unconsciously shook it left and right.

"Don't you tell me who the hell you're seeing? I'm very curious, in this place of Pingzhou, can there be elders who are more special to you? ”

"Not for me, it's for us."

"Me?" Qin Xun pointed to his nose, "Okay, I'm more curious." Seeing that Qi Jing didn't mean to continue, he couldn't help but ask, "Really don't tell me?" It's not your style to sell off, and it's not my habit to have no bottom in my heart. ”

Qi Jing took a step behind him, and the voice came from a place a little closer behind him: "It's not that I sell it to you, it's that I don't expect how that person will treat you, his identity is special and it is inconvenient to show people easily, I will take you to visit you today, if he doesn't fall in love with you, you should have never seen this person." ”

Qin Xun's feet suddenly stopped, Qi Jing was unexpected, his chest hit his back, and the reed pole loosely pinched in Qin Xun's hand was shaken so lightly and fell to the ground.

Or it is better to say that he threw it away by himself, he didn't move, and he didn't have the consciousness to subconsciously take a handful.

"Stop and do what?"

"Ah, why don't you look at it, it hurts me so much!" Qin Xun sued first.

"Really? Then I'm really sorry for you. Qi Jing was funny, and he didn't have a chance to be a pretending scoundrel.

Qin Xun didn't look back: "I'm sorry, don't worry, if you rub me, I'll forgive you." ”

"You're still kicking your nose in the face." Qi Jing's mouth was not angry, but his hand indulged in his shoulder and back and rubbed it twice. The two of them weren't traveling fast before, and it didn't hurt at all if they bumped into it, Qi Jing knew, so he just coaxed him.

Qin Xun turned his back to him, squinted his eyes and laughed silently.

"Qi Jing, you show that you don't trust me, but it hurts my heart."
