Nine years have passed, and that once small figure has been lingering in his mind, like a warm beam of sunlight breaking through the barriers of clouds in winter and shining into his world of ice and frost. Before he met her, it was a warmth he had never felt.

Until now, he no longer expects the man's father's love, and he is also used to the hardships of the military and the iron blood of the battlefield. But he still remembered the red butterfly-shaped birthmark on the tiger's mouth on the back of her hand when she helped him up. It's like a fluttering butterfly, fluttering its colorful wings, and it has been flying into his heart. As it flew over, his heart could be warmed by the sun and spring flowers.

"After all these years, don't we really have a chance to meet again? Who are you? What does it look like now? Huangfu Chen muttered to himself, his eyes flickered, and he flashed out of the window, and walked towards the Lishui River in the distance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the outskirts of the city, on the banks of the Lishui River.

Huangfu Chen stepped on the shore and stood, his long body was like a straight pine, and his starry eyes were like black jade, and he stood by the river all night. The torrent roared in front of him, the steep slope behind him, and the damp mist of the river wet his dark colored robe, which was wet and sticking to his body, and under the thin layers of clothing, the thick chest was faintly visible, and the abdominal muscles were entangled.

A sound of "da-da" horses' hooves came, Feige was dressed in blue clothes, stepped down from the horse ten steps away, his face was solemn, and he strode towards Huangfu Chen, and only bowed when he was closer, and said: "Your Highness, last night Shangguan's Mansion was slaughtered, and no one was spared!" This matter caused a sensation in the entire Pingyang City early in the morning, and Liuxia had already gone to inquire about the news, so he should be back soon. ”

Hearing this, Huang Fuchen's lowered black eyes flashed slightly, but he still didn't turn around to look at Feige, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. After hesitating for a long time, he said lightly: "It's a pity." ”

"It's a shame indeed! Although we have not confronted General Shangguan head-on, we have long admired the great name, like thunder, and the Shangguan family is even more loyal to their duties and has great achievements, even if they clash on the battlefield, they will be a rare opponent. Now he died tragically at the hands of the monarch he swore allegiance to, which is really complicated and difficult to accept. ”

"I heard that Huangfu Jin once secretly sent someone to Nanchi, is it true?"

"The prince did send a shadow guard to Nanchi a few days ago, and then that person disappeared." After Feige finished speaking, he twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and then asked uncertainly, "Your Highness, are you saying that this matter is related to the crown prince?" ”

Huang Fuchen was still standing quietly by the river, there were no extra emotional fluctuations on his face, and what answered Feige was the long silence and the hissing sound of the Lishui River.

At this time, Feige had already determined in his heart that the collapse of the Shangguan Mansion overnight must have a great relationship with the crown prince. It's just that I can't think of what role the prince's gentle and humble person usually looks like in this matter.

In the middle of the two people's thoughts, another "da-da" sound of horses' hooves came, Liuxia also dressed in green clothes rode a horse, turned over and dismounted, trotted all the way to Huangfu Chen, and even did not complete the etiquette, so he said anxiously: "Your Highness, I heard that the cause was that the Shangguan family wanted to collude with foreign enemies, and after the conspiracy was exposed, they assassinated Situ Rui, and all 581 people in the whole mansion were killed, only Shangguan Jiyue escaped with his brother and fell into the moat. ”

The Shangguan family has fallen, and Beicang will one day send troops south, which is naturally a big obstacle. There was a hint of eagerness in Liuxia's voice, although it was not obvious, but Huang Fuchen still caught this point, and couldn't help frowning, and didn't answer Liuxia.

After waiting for a while, but not getting a response from his master, Feige secretly glanced at Liuxia, but Liuxia was completely out of the state, looked at Feige with a blank face, and asked incomprehensibly: "No, I said Feige, are you uncomfortable or what?" Blink and wink, you don't feel uncomfortable, I look uncomfortable! ”

When Feige heard this, he closed his eyes in resignation, and with a heavy breath in his heart, he decided that he would never help Liuxia in the future.

At this moment, Huang Fuchen suddenly walked a few quick steps towards the river, a pair of indifferent black eyes were looking at the middle of the river at this time, a small piece of clothes that was up and down by the torrent, if he was not mistaken, it was definitely a person.

After a little contemplation, with a slight hint of strength on his toes, Huang Fuchen flew out like an arrow off the string, and with a big hand, he grabbed a figure from the rapids, stirred up a splash, and returned to the shore in a blink of an eye.

Things happened too quickly, too suddenly, Feige and Liuxia only felt a flower in front of them, and their master fished back a person from the river, a woman to be precise.

The woman was soaked, her hair was messy, wet and sticking to her face, the tips of her hair kept dripping water, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could faintly see her pale complexion. The clothes on his body were covered with mud and sand, and he couldn't see his original color, I don't know if it was cut by the sharp rocks in the river or what, it was already in tatters, and it could barely hide the curvaceous body under the clothes.

"Your Highness, is this ......?"

Is this dead or alive? But Liuxia hurriedly swallowed the remaining half of the sentence back to her throat. This time, he didn't need Feige to remind him, he also knew that it was time for him to shut up. Because he saw that his master's handsome face, which had never been shocked, even if Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, a series of emojis appeared: surprise, joy, worry, anger, and even ...... Afraid?

I'm afraid how can these two words appear on the face of my master?! It's impossible, it must be my own dazzled mistake. Rubbing his eyes, he wanted to look at it carefully, but he was so shocked by an angry shout that he shook his body.

"What are you looking at there?! Turn around! ”

Huang Fuchen's eyes that were as indifferent as water at this time were faintly red, and he pressed the woman's chest vigorously while giving orders, without delaying the movements of his subordinates. It wasn't until the woman spit out all the river water in her chest that she helped the woman up, turned into a palm with one hand, and a true qi entered the woman's body from the back from the palm of her hand. In a few moments, the woman's clothes were steaming hot and forcibly dried.

At this time, Fei Ge and Liu Xia, who turned their backs to Huang Fuchen, didn't dare to move, and could only communicate with each other's questions with wordless eyes.

Liuxia: "What's wrong with Your Highness?" Got the wrong medicine? ”

Feige rolled his eyes: "You ask me, who do I ask?!" ”

Liuxia: "Does Her Highness know that woman?" ”

Feige: "Ask yourself!" ”

Just as the two of them made eye contact with each other, Huang Fuchen had already taken off his coat, wrapped the woman's body tightly, jumped up in his arms, and landed on the horse's back accurately.

When Feige and Liuxia came to their senses, they only heard the neighing of the horses, and looked at the sound, but they couldn't see half of the human shadow anymore. The two exchanged looks, and hurriedly rode a horse to chase after them, and the sound of the horse's hooves faded away, leaving only a string of smoke and dust.
