Everywhere the wind passed, the corners of the man's clothes were gently blown up, and there was no incense from the young sons of ordinary rich and noble families, but a light and unique Zhilan atmosphere, with a handsome temperament, like a handful of clear snow. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
"Yikes!" Jingjing, who was sitting behind Chu Qiao, suddenly stretched out her hand, pointed at the man's waist and shouted, "His jade pendant is the same as his sister's!" β
Bright white and clean, round and clear, the man stood against the wind, and a jade pendant hung on his waist, flashing with a faint brilliance.
Chu Qiao's expression gradually softened, and when everyone stood silently, she suddenly reached out and put her hand on the man's shoulder, jumped down from the carriage, and said to Ping'an and the others with a gentle smile: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and clear the road ahead." β
"Huh?" Ping'an's eyes widened, he looked at Chu Qiao, then at the man, and finally asked stupidly, "Sister, do you know each other?" β
"Hmm." Chu Qiao nodded with a relaxed expression, and it seemed that there was still a hint of joy.
Ping An wanted to ask who this person was, but before he could open his mouth, he saw that the man's eyes drifted faintly, not very harsh, but with ice and snow indifference, as if he didn't want to hear this stupid young man chatter.
When Brother Cao and the others saw it, they immediately lowered their heads and retreated, took out their tools and began to clear the passage.
Chu Qiao turned his head to the man and said, "You come with me." With that, he walked to the back.
The sky on this day was excellent, as clear as a lake and clear water, and the sun was like gold. The two of them walked one after the other, and after a while, they walked into a secluded hill. A waterfall cascades down from the top of the mountain and falls into the cold pool, splashing large splashes of water, the grains are clear, and the bright sunlight is dazzling.
Chu Qiao turned his head and looked at the man in front of him, he hadn't seen him for more than a year, he didn't seem to have changed much, he was still like this. She opened her mouth to say something, and a thousand words were condensed on her lips, but she didn't know where to start, and finally turned into a shallow smile, overflowing the corners of her mouth, and she didn't know whether she was laughing at herself or others.
"Laughing at what?" Zhuge Yue was still like that, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she seemed to be very impatient to stand here with her.
"Nothing." Chu Qiao shook his head, still smiling and said, "It seems that the way I see you every time is very special." β
Zhuge Yue turned his head away, his eyes looking away, still the familiar awkwardness.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhuge Yue gave her an incomparably accurate but incomparably vague answer: "Do things." β
"Oh." Chu Qiao nodded and said, "Are you going back now?" β
"Hmm."
Then the two stood still, neither of them speaking again.
In a blink of an eye, it has been almost two years, and in the past two years, he has called for wind and rain in the court, turned things around, and has become one of the most powerful people on the mainland. Chu Qiao is in a remote place, and when he occasionally hears news of him, he will have a strange sense of trance. She sometimes even wonders if the person she knows is the same as the man who is rumored to be decisive and resolute.
She also heard some rumors from Qinghai one after another.
It is rumored that although it is nominally subordinate to Great Xia, it implements self-elected officials, not from the clan, but through scientific examinations, even commoners have the opportunity to refer to it; It is rumored that new laws have been enacted there, encouraging farming, building water conservancy, and protecting industry and commerce, and some of the most courageous merchants from the interior have gone to Qinghai to do business; It is rumored that slavery was abolished there, and the rich clan could buy domestic slaves, but as long as the domestic slaves were willing to pay for their lives, they could get out of slavery, and even if they were domestic slaves, they could not be killed at will, otherwise they would be severely punished by the law; It is rumored that it is not as desolate and desolate as the legend says, but it is a vast area, with a thriving population, and now there are many rich and prosperous towns......
It is also rumored that the king of Qinghai is now notorious and is known as the robber Sima. In the court, they grabbed money and grain every year, competed for various materials under various names, and continuously transported them to Qinghai. Every month, Qinghai has to report major disasters, droughts, floods, and glaciers, saying that the people there are not covered with clothes and food, and they strongly demand that the imperial court provide money and food to rescue the refugees.
However, as soon as those materials come out of Zhenhuang, they will flow into the market, in exchange for a large amount of real money and silver, and then blatantly transported to the Qinghai headquarters. Now that most of Yanbei's troops are contained by Qinghai, Daxia doesn't dare to turn against him at all, so he has to let him do evil.
It is rumored that this man was called the monarch father by the people of Qinghai, a robber by the people of Simon, and a vampire by the officials of Great Xia.
It is rumored that Simon's people hate him to the core, but now the bold ones are quietly preparing to move, and Cuiweiguan is overcrowded every day, crowded with ordinary people who want to sneak in.
The Great Xia Elders angrily accused him of deliberately conniving at the slackness and dereliction of duty of the Cuiwei Pass defenders, and let the people of Simon's interior flow into Qinghai.
If we want to effectively limit such incidents, we urgently need the household department to immediately allocate 100,000 baht of gold to Qinghai to expand Qinghai's armaments......
There were so many rumors, but when Chu Qiao saw him at this moment, those rumors suddenly disappeared from his mind like a cloud of smoke.
He is still him, not the king of Qinghai, the Great Sima, not the amazing and brilliant Qinghai monarch, not the cunning and shameless Great Xia vampire. He is still the man who is indifferent and arrogant with a little awkwardness and willfulness, and he is the young master Zhuge who has repeatedly lived and died with her and saved her from danger several times.
A few traces of emotion suddenly came out of my heart, and gradually suppressed the excitement and joy of the first meeting. She looked at him, although he was still handsome, still as cold as a block of ice, but there was already a trace of lines in the corners of his eyes, and when she looked closely, her eyes were also a little tired.
She pursed the corners of her lips quietly and said softly, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you're old." β
Zhuge Yue was suddenly stunned when he heard this, the trace of wind and frost in his eyes was removed, he looked down at her, and saw that her face was still the same, but a little thinner.
He's only twenty-six years old this year, and in any case, he can't be called an old word. However, all these years of hard work, those rough years of gambling and conquest, and those bloody killings splashed on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, all flowed through his vicissitudes of life like a rolling tide with this old word.
Behind all kinds of scenery is the sleepless all-night lights, the lonely shadow of the cold moon in the west window, the sleepless night in the cold window, and the loneliness of Xiao Xiao, who is independent in the wind.
The face is still the same, but the heart is tired.
How can you not get old, and how can you not get old.
He looked at her, and the anger that had been in place for more than a year was suddenly gone, and even the childish willfulness grew old in this simple sentence.
"It's been more than a year, you're okay."
"It's not good, it's always alive." Zhuge Yue said lightly, although the words were not good, they did not have the cold tone of the past. Chu Qiao knew that he was not arguing with himself, but with real feelings. Maybe only people like them can realize that there is nothing good or bad, and it is good to be alive.
"I'm fine, too." Zhuge Yue didn't ask, but Chu Qiao said by himself, "I, I opened an inn, and my life is very comfortable." β
"I know."
The man replied lightly, but Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at him, "You know? β
"I've stayed with you three times."
Chu Qiao was completely stunned, but he heard Zhuge Yue ask in a deep voice: "It's been more than a year, have you figured it out?" β
"Think...... Figure out what? β
The man frowned slowly, with a look of "you are really good at holding garlic", "You really plan to open an inn for the rest of your life?" β
Chu Qiao stared at her and was speechless, in fact, she really thought so.
"Or are you going to marry someone before the age of thirty?"
Chu Qiao was embarrassed, "Who told you?" β
"Who else?" Zhuge Yue said, "Naturally, it's Li Ce, don't you know? The Chunyu Building opposite you was opened by him, and the Four Seas Inn behind you was opened by me. β
Chu Qiao was speechless with shock, and suddenly remembered the two inns that were cold, before this, she had always been very complacent, thinking that her own inn had squeezed them out of business, but she didn't want it to be the handiwork of these two masters.
In this way, Li Ce should know everything about Meishan, and he should have been prepared for those people's actions.
She suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked, "Then you knew who we were from the beginning?" β
"I don't know." Zhuge Yue said, seeing that she didn't believe it, she said impatiently, "Although I have been there, I have never seen you." β
Yes, she has lived in seclusion for more than a year, and indeed rarely goes out.
"What are you doing this time?"
Chu Qiao didn't know what to say, after all, it was Li Ce's state affairs, so he said vaguely: "I'll go to Tangjing." β
"Humph!" Zhuge Yue snorted coldly, and the green trees on the side were wrapped with faint wisteria, and the fragrant breeze was thin and faint, like a floating cloud.
"Young Masterβ" The man surnamed Cao said from afar, "The road is cleared, you can go." β
Zhuge Yue didn't make a sound, and stood quietly for a long time, as if he was a little impatient with such a depressing atmosphere, and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Zhuge Yue!" Chu Qiao suddenly shouted, "Next time you come to the academy, you can come and see me." β
"I don't have time to go." Zhuge Yue replied coldly, turned around slowly, and said with a calm face, "I'm going back to Qinghai, will you go with me?" β
He said this sentence like this, as naturally as an acquaintance meeting and asking, "Have you eaten", but Chu Qiao was stupidly stunned. She is always like this, she can deal with anything calmly, but only in the face of him will be completely wise. She looked at him blankly, as if she wanted to see another mouth from Zhuge Yue's face to prove that what he said just now was not what he said.
"Li Ce said that you are a tendon, and you suffered a big change at that time, and you couldn't figure it out for a while, so I persuaded me to give you more time." Zhuge Yue said calmly, "Have you figured it out now?" Come with me or not? β
"You, you are the military commander of Great Xia? And the family is ......"
"You don't have to worry about that." Zhuge Yue frowned and said in a deep voice, "You just need to say whether you want to go with me or not." β
A flock of birds flew over, two flocks of birds flew over, and many flocks of birds flew over the forest, but Chu Qiao still didn't speak.
Zhuge Yue suddenly became angry and said sharply: "Are you going or not?" β
"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go!" Chu Qiao replied loudly.
The two of them blushed and shouted at each other, and the echoes echoed around them, making it seem more and more quiet here.
"It's good to meet you here, so I don't have to make another trip to tell you." The man deliberately pretended to be very indifferent and said, as if all this was under his control, but he didn't want to think about whether he usually had such a talkative character, "Don't run around, go back to your yard and stay, and when my business is over, I will send someone to pick you up." β
After that, Zhuge Yue turned around and left very handsomely.
"Anyway, if you go to Qinghai, you can open an inn."
A voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Zhuge Yue turned his head sharply and stared at her with a gritted teeth.
The sky is full of white clouds, and the birds poke their heads out from behind the leaves, and it seems that they are also wondering, the things in this world really can't be solved by common sense.
Just look at the refreshing one
