Qi Yiyi smiled slightly, and withdrew his hand.

The lights in the distance shone into his eyes, the stars glittered in the light, and the dark waves were vast.

"Ethereal." He shouted.

Qi Yiyi lowered his eyes and looked at the dragon pattern in front of him, but he didn't say a word.

He still has a very shallow smell of wine, because of the slight looseness of his clothes, this casual appearance is very different from his appearance of being decent.

At this moment, he seemed to have fallen into the mortal dust, and became a lot closer.

"Ethereal." Yan Tang was shouting again.

She looked up with a smile: "Why don't you call Qi Yiyi?" ”

Yan Tang's breath was like a sigh, biting the corner of his lip and looking down at her, it seemed like he was admitting his mistake.

Qi Yiyi smiled and looked at the water in the distance, and said, "Qi Yiyi is Qi Yiyi, what does it matter?" - Let's go, look at the stars! ”

……

Qin Zhi'an returned to Xiao Heng's side and said in a low voice: "The golden lock is gone, only the purse is left." has asked Peng Yin to look for it. ”

Xiao Heng groaned slightly, then took the purse and hung it back on his body, didn't say anything, and touched the cup with Qi Ziyu again.

……

Qi Yiyi returned to Ningxiang Pavilion, the time was not too late, Jingning Hou and Shen did not return, only Qi Zizhan and Qi Ziluo came back first.

As soon as he saw her, he couldn't help but rush out: "My ancestor! You're back! Where the hell did it go? We're all dying! ”

"I met an acquaintance on the bridge, so I went out for a walk."

Qi Mi acted well and knew that they were in a hurry, so he only walked half a circle with Yan Tang in the middle of the mountain, and came back after listening to him say something about the northwest past.

Qi Zizhan didn't bother too much, as long as she came back. While Zhang Luo passed her supper, while seeing that her shoes and socks were wet, he called Hongying to quickly fetch water for her to wash.

Qi Yiyi was thinking about Xiao Heng's golden lock, she was always not a matter of carrying it on her body, and she still had to find a chance to return it quietly.

Then he called Hongying again: "You go back and inquire about Qianhezhou where the King of Chu lives, which eunuchs are on errands?"

"When the time comes, find someone who can be relied on, and let the little eunuch take this golden lock to the king of Chu, and say that you picked it up in Zhoutou.

"Ask you which noble family you are from, and you can just pinch it out. In short, I can't let people know that I picked it up, and the lock must be guaranteed to be handed over to the King of Chu. ”

Hongying glanced at the golden lock and nodded to take it.

…… When Yan Tang returned to Songyun, he saw that there were many people sitting in the house, Li Rong was there, and Yan Nan was also there.

When Yan Yan saw him, he greeted him with a swish: "Where did you go with Miao?" I saw you walking towards the other side of the bridge! ”

Yan Tang untied his cloak and stepped into the house without paying attention to him.

Yan Yan then followed: "Did you tell you that he was in danger in the Thousand Lights Pavilion and climbed the wall to come out?" ”

When Yan Tang heard this, he turned back under the door: "What danger?" ”

"I don't know, I also heard from people, a Xuanwu general Xu Kun from the northwest, he passed by the wall of Qiandeng Pavilion, and just happened to meet a misty person who wanted to climb over the wall, and he helped her out.

"Do you think, if it wasn't for danger, why didn't she go through the front door, and had to climb over the wall?"

Yan Nan felt that he should be witty this time, and he was so good at reasoning.

"Xuanwu General Xu Kun in the northwest?" Yan Tang thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "How could he go to the Thousand Lights Pavilion?" ”

"He's looking for me, and he's looking for me to beg you for something!"

Yan Nan said, and told Xu Kun about his intention. "I heard that the King of Chu lives in the Thousand Lights Pavilion, will she cause any trouble in front of the King of Chu?"

Yan Tang didn't wait for him to finish speaking and stepped out of the threshold: "What about Xu Kunren?" ”

"I'm waiting for you in the earroom!"

……

Qi Zizhan also knew that the acquaintance Qi Mi met the next day was Yan Tang.

But he was sandwiched between Yan Tang's three hundred taels of silver and the Qi family's consistent family motto, and he didn't know whether it was better to tell Qi Ziyu or not, and finally simply pretended to be deaf because Qi Ziyu treated him every day, and told Qi Ziyu not to tell him.

In the next few days, the emperor still needs to meet with the leaders of the northwest Liaolian separately, and it is not so fast to go to the paddock.

Qi Yiyu and their group, so they had to take the horse arrows and chase a few rabbits to the mountain outside the palace first.

Hongying acted very properly, and after inquiring and observing for a whole day, she fell in love with a little eunuch who was sprinkling in the Thousand Lights Pavilion, and gave the golden lock to her according to Qi Yiyi's words.

The little eunuch took the lock and found Xiao Heng who was picking up a bow, Xiao Heng turned his head and took the lock in his hand, and after two checks, he raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Which noble family?" ”

"The little one doesn't know, the maid only said that she lived on East Road."

"East Road?" Xiao Heng snorted slightly and put the lock away.

Then he took an arrow and put it on the string, and shot steadily at a small sapling the thickness of a copper coin outside the door: "The people living on the East Road are all noble and noble women, and the civil officials have not brought their families here, doesn't it mean that they didn't say it?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Xiao Heng glanced at the feather arrow in the middle of the trunk, and then turned his head to look at him: "Get up, I didn't say to punish you." ”

Only then did the little eunuch hesitantly get up again.

…… Qi Yiyi wandered inside and outside the palace for three days, and did not meet Xiao Heng again during this period.

At the end of the day, they returned to the mountain with four or five rabbits, and met Xu Kun on the downhill road of the East Road.

Xu Kun first greeted Yan Nan, with a slight joy between his eyebrows, and then was introduced to everyone by Yan Nan.

Qi Miao's face was dim that night, because of the dim lights, he didn't remember Xu Kun's face very clearly, so he only felt familiar, and only remembered when he heard Yan Nan report his name.

Hurriedly asked Zi Zhan to take out the two rabbits from his hand and handed them over: "I forgot to thank the general, this rabbit was taken to the general as a drink." ”

Although the meals in the palace are uniformly matched, you can also pay for the dining room to open a small stove.

Xu Kun refused to refuse, and finally saw that the Qi family's aunt and nephew insisted, so he obeyed.

Xing Xiaowei saw him walking away, so she asked Yan Yan: "Why is he so respectful to you?" ”

"Of course, it's because I helped him a lot!" Saying that, Yan Nan said what Xu Kun found him that night, and then looked at Qi Miao: "This General Xu used to have a relationship with my brother.

"Almost four years ago, my brother was ambushed in the northwest, and then the governor asked my brother to recuperate at the house of this General Xu.

"Because Mrs. Xu knows a little about medicine, she has lived in his house for more than half a month.

"He asked my brother for something before, but when he found me, I handed him a message."

Qi Yiyi knew about Yan Tang's ambush in the northwest, and it was also an accident to hear that Xu Kun had such a relationship with him.

In the evening of that day, he received the decree to leave for the paddock the next day.

Because it was a hunting, and the trip was all horseback riding, and the accommodation conditions were not as good as those in the palace, the ladies could stay except for those who voluntarily followed.

Of course, Qi Mi is going. After all, the paddock is the purpose of her trip, even if she can't influence the emperor's decision-making, she can't ignore such important matters.

When Mrs. Xu saw that Xu Kun had brought back the two rabbits, she had to ask, and then she heard that the second lady of the Marquis of Jingning Mansion gave them to him for him to help her climb the wall, and she couldn't help but wonder why she would run to the Thousand Lights Pavilion where Xiao Heng lived.

But Xu Kun didn't know either, so Mrs. Xu gave up and began to pack up at night.

Xu Kun asked, "Why don't you go too?" ”

Mrs. Xu covered her youngest son with a futon and said, "I don't worry about you going alone." In just a few days, I asked the nurse to take the maids to Sister-in-law Xing's place.

"Sister-in-law Xing has always treated Brother Yang as her own child, so it's okay."

"But the road is hard ......"

"I'm not afraid." Mrs. Xu insisted.

Xu Kun is just that.
