"Childe." A black shadow floated from outside the bamboo forest, under the moonlight, like a ghost.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of the eldest princess of Fengwu?"

"Watching." Ziyi bowed his head.

"Those thirteen letters, but they have been sent out safely?"

"Well, it has arrived safely, and no one has intercepted it."

Gu Xi's brows slowly furrowed, and then he unfolded to reveal a light smile, and whispered, "Very good." The subordinate let go of the strings, took out the scroll rolled up in his sleeve, handed it to Ziyi, and instructed: "This is the portrait of the old man of Shanhu, be sure to find him as soon as possible." If possible, don't let the eldest princess of Fengwu find him first, and don't let them meet. Then in the name of the eldest princess of Fengwu, invite him to meet in the Yue City of the Ul Kingdom, if he does not comply, he can use forcible means, but ...... Be polite to him, and don't offend him. ”

"Yes." Ziyi took the scroll with both hands and replied with his head bowed.

Gu Yi waved his finger slightly, and Ziyi bowed back.

When I looked back in the distance, I saw that the moon shadow was hazy, and the light faintly outlined a peerless silhouette along the man's unearthly silhouette in the bamboo forest. But this stunning silhouette reveals indescribable loneliness and tranquility.

Ziyi's footsteps never stopped, like a night bird thrown into the deep forest, and a trace of imperceptible wind swept through the air.

Gu Xi got up and walked towards the bamboo house.

He pushed the door open and entered the room, lighting two lights. Extinguish the fire in the censer and lift the entire censer out of the house. Turn back and push the sash completely open in the room, allowing the outside wind to blow in and disperse the smoke in the room. In the other incense burner he brought back, a faint fragrance was lit, and a refreshing breath slowly swept through all corners of the room.

All his movements are calm and elegant, slow and methodical.

He walked to the couch, sat down, bowed his head, bent his arms, picked up Yun Yanzheng and the quilt together, took her into his arms, and let her rest on his heart. Sit up, press your fingers on her right arm, and rub the back of your other hand against her cheek.

"Eldest princess, wake up, get up."

There seemed to be a seductive power in his voice, faint and clear, slowly entering her sleeping mind. The tickling touch continued to clear on his cheeks, and Yun Yanzheng seemed to have awakened in the darkness and chaos. The fingers on the right trembled slightly, and on the face reflected by the firelight, the eyelashes on both sides shook lightly a few times, spreading like butterfly wings, and the eyes gradually became clear and sober from foggy and ignorant.

Suddenly she sat up, her right hand was held, and a smiling face appeared in her eyes. Such eyebrows and eyes, such a smile, are all familiar to her. She couldn't wake up and stroked this face carved like jade, and the soft and delicate feeling became more and more real in the palm of her hand. She frowned, her eyes skipped over the light and shadow in a trance, and it took a long time before she exhaled, as if she had remembered what had happened, and her eyes were clear again.

"How long did I sleep?" Yun Yanzheng subconsciously glanced at the night outside the window.

"Half a day." Gu Xi replied without hesitation.

"My face...... All right? She stroked her face and asked him suspiciously.

"Alright." Gu Xi said briskly, and the smile on his face was very dazzling.

Yun Yanzheng was stunned for a moment, and urged: "Give me the mirror quickly." ”

Gu Xi smiled, took the rhombic glasses that had been prepared from the end of the bed, held them up towards her face, and said in a low voice unhurriedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, now that the face has been disguised for a long time, the skin is a little dry and rough, but I will take care of it for the eldest princess." ”

His tone, his words can calm people's hearts.

Although Yun Yanzheng's mind was calm, when he saw his face full of small bumps in the mirror, he still felt a little uncomfortable. She was a little worried, a little annoyed, and a little uneasy to ask, "If you keep pretending to be on your face and can't take it off, what will become of you in the end?" ”

Gu Xi pursed his lips and only smiled without saying anything.

Yun Yanzheng saw a cruel result in his calm and clear eyes. Perhaps beyond recognition; Maybe it's a blur of flesh and blood; Maybe it's a disfigured face. Such a vicious mind makes people shudder. Even though she had seen the bloody and cold on the battlefield, she couldn't help but feel cold and cold at this method.

Gu Xi clenched her slightly trembling and cold hand hard, and whispered, "The nightmare is over." ”

Yun Yanzheng's body stiffened, and the "snap" in her brain seemed to burst out in an instant, but she quickly gathered her mind again.

Gu Xi looked at the fear that suddenly expanded in her eyes, and suddenly took it back. As soon as his mind came to his senses, Yun Yanzheng had already buried his head in front of his chest, his arms tightly hugged his waist, and his cheeks were pressed tightly against his heart, as if listening to his steady heartbeat.

In the sound of "bang", "bang", "bang", her heartbeat also beat with "bang", but her heartbeat was obviously much faster than his.

"Gu Xi, I'm cold...... I'm hungry too. She whispered, feebly.

"I've got a soup, so I'm going to heat it up." Gu Xi gently patted her on the back, and Yun Yanzheng slowly let go of his arms and let him get up and go out.

Yun Yanzheng kept looking at his back and smiling, as if he was afraid that he also had eyes behind him.

It wasn't until he walked out of the door that Gu Xi's gaze suddenly became gloomy and indescribable. He knew that Yun Yanzheng had something to hide from him, but she was trying her best to cover it up, she ...... What was discovered? Or do you know something? He pondered as he simmered the broth under the kitchen and served a bowl of soup.

She couldn't possibly know that he had used Spiritualism on her, and before waking up, he had used Spiritualism to erase the memory of that moment. And her will at that time was not as resolute as usual, since this encounter, he had been plotting to let her let her guard down, let her loosen her guard, just for that moment. His mind kept recalling every detail, every word he had said, and even every action since this encounter.

He walked back unhurriedly, his thoughts flying by. Until he walked to the door, his deep eyes instantly became clear, and the corners of his lips showed a pleasant smile.

Before Gu Xi walked to the door, Yun Yanzheng had been thinking about something, but when she saw his figure, her eyelashes suddenly drooped and covered the look in her eyes. The expression on his face also changed, and he regained his softness.

Gu Xi walked into the room, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, held a bowl in one hand, and gently dialed the cold soup with a spoon in the other. Yun Yanzheng looked at his gentle and meticulous thoughts, but he felt sarcastic in his heart, but his face did not show it, and he only asked lightly: "How long is it left?" ”

She didn't say what it was, though?

And yet, he knew.

Gu Yi smiled slightly, the movements in his hands continued, and said, "Five years." ”

She suddenly felt a heartache, even though she knew that there were many secrets between them, but she still felt a sharp heartache without hesitation.

All along, the heart disease he was hurting has never really healed.

Looking at his increasingly pale face, what could she do for him? Today, all four countries have ambitions to annex other countries and unify Kyushu. She naturally hopes that the country of Wei can become strong and become the most unnibalized country in Kyushu, even if it can't swallow Kyushu, it must stand tall in Kyushu. Whether it is from the emperor's wisdom, or from the military strength, or the country's topography, or the peak of talents, the country is weaker than the desert country. In this way, the best strategy for the Wei State is to maintain a distance from the Mo State that if it is not a friend, it cannot become an enemy, rather than rashly attacking, let alone contend with it within five years.

With the chaos of war, the other two powers are bound to eye, and the final outcome is really unpredictable. Sheep into the tiger's mouth, both lose, subversion is not top...... It's all possible.

After contemplating quietly, Yun Yanzheng sighed lowly, she couldn't use the safety of the whole country to plan for one person. This feeling of powerlessness suddenly made her feel guilty.

"Ah Yan, don't be sad for me." Gu Xi whispered, spooned a mouthful of slightly cold soup from the spoon in his hand and brought it to her mouth, smiling slightly.

Yun Yanzheng already knew that he could see through people's hearts, so he couldn't help but sigh softly, opened his mouth to hold the spoon, and drank this mouthful of warm soup.

Gu Xi chuckled and said, "What Ah Yan thinks, that is, what I think, don't be sad, and don't apologize." The eldest princess is guarding the people of a country, not me, and I am not a citizen of the country. What's more, I don't need Ah Yan to protect you, I can protect myself and protect Ah Yan you. ”

She looked at him in a daze, and her eyes overflowed with wet tears again. The dull pain in my heart was long, like a trail of blood, unprovoked fragility.

Gu Yi's fingertips caressed her cheeks, slowly combing a strand of scattered hair behind her ear, and said softly: "Now Ah Yan should be worried about Yan Rongzhi. His mind was to want to leave the country of Mo, lure the country of Yu, take the country of Ul indiscriminately, and inherit the country of arrogance, completely disrupting the foundation of the countries of Kyushu, rebuilding the chessboard, and letting him hold the seeds and plan the country. If you want to maintain the temporary calm in Kyushu, wait until the country of Wei becomes strong and has the ability to be invincible, or even devour the rest of the other countries, I am afraid that you need to take good precautions and plan now. ”

As he spoke, his hands didn't stop, Yun Yanzheng drank the soup from his spoon meekly one after another, but a trace of unwillingness and sadness surged in his heart.

She was not willing to reveal her emotions at the moment, knowing that his eyes were like torches and a leaf knew the autumn.

"Gu Xi, I once thought that if the Wei Kingdom perished, I would inevitably die with it. In this case, the chess game is faint, why should you and I be so entangled with each other? She met him with blazing eyes, and her words seemed to be spoken word by word, and the words were cautious: "You are so busy now, with good intentions, how can you ...... Not in vain? Now that the situation in Kyushu is severe, I am afraid that I will have no time to take care of personal affairs, and for you, the ending can be expected, so why should you stay for that day to be more difficult and painful? It's better to ...... Take advantage of the ...... Forgot about each other early in the rivers and lakes......"

"If that were the case, I wouldn't have gone to Ul." Gu Xi's hand paused, and he put the spoon into the bowl, and there seemed to be a little anger in his tone.

"If there is no connection between me and you, you can give it a go, and there will be no worries about the future and your life?" Yun Yanzheng still looked at him steadily, not afraid of the changes in his eyes.

He looked at her quietly, frowned slightly, his face was a little uncertain, and his breath was a little unstable, and he looked at each other for a long time before he spoke again, his tone was as soft as smoke: "Yun Shezhi, do you want me to dissect my heart in front of you?" ”

Her heart jumped, she shook her head slightly, and whispered, "No......"
