The next day, Ying Ze and Jingyu came to Taizu, only to see the eighth senior brother also standing aside.

"Today, you will all enter the Spiegel Tower to be tested, and you must not keep your heart in whatever comes your way. ”

Taizu sat on the high platform, and the voice that came from him was ethereal and ethereal.

"Yes, the disciple remembers the teachings of the master!"

Although Ying Ze is not a nominal disciple of Taizu, he actually has a master and apprentice, and he also followed Jingyu to call Taizu as a master and call himself a disciple.

"Well, Spiegel is actually not that scary, don't worry too much, just experience it after you go in. ”

The eighth senior brother on the side smiled cutely, but Jingyu felt that there was a deep meaning behind this smile.

"Okay, Xiao Ba, open the Spiegel Terrace and let Xiao Jiu and His Highness in. ”

"Yes!"

The eighth senior brother took out a talisman and muttered a few words to the void, and Jingyu saw that a portal suddenly appeared in the void, and behind the portal, there seemed to be a deep and mysterious world.

"Let's go inside!"

With a wave of the eighth senior brother's hand, Jingyu and Yingze involuntarily flew into the Spiegel platform.

As soon as he entered the portal, Jing Yu only felt a dazzling light rushing towards him, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, and then he didn't know what to do.

"Brother, brother, wake up, go out with Yan'er!"

In the darkness, Jingyu seemed to hear a childish child's voice calling him, which was both strange and familiar.

He struggled to open his eyes, and a little girl was lying on the head of his bed waving at him.

A memory came to his mind, his name is Jingyu, he is the son of the prime minister of the Great Li Kingdom, and the girl in front of him who affectionately calls him brother is his own sister, Yan'er.

"Brother, you're awake! Go out to fly a kite with Yan'er! The weather outside is good!"

Jingyu sat up and hesitantly touched Yan'er's head, and a feeling of blood connection arose.

"Okay, brother, I'll go with you. ”

Jingyu unconsciously showed a doting smile and took a sip.

"That's good, but Yan'er has to hook up with her brother, otherwise His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes will send someone to the ward later, and you will run to the palace again!"

The little girl was very happy at first, but then she seemed to think of something, and suddenly stretched out her round little hand to hook with Jingyu.

"Nine Emperor Princes?" Jing Yu was stunned for a moment, and the figure of that person suddenly appeared in his heart, so floating out of the dust, empty and clear.

The prime minister is the mentor of the Nine Emperor Princes, he has been with the Nine Emperor Princes since he was a child, and he has a very good relationship with the Nine Emperor Princes.

In Yan'er's mind, she is definitely not as good as the Nine Emperors in her brother's eyes or heart, and every time she clearly promised to play with her, she said that she wanted to play with her, but the Nine Emperors sent someone to shout, and her brother ran into the palace.

"Uh, okay, pull the hook, pull the hook. ”

"Yay!"

He Yan'er pulled the hook, and the little girl pulled him to fly a kite, at this time it was a good spring when the grass grew and the kite flew, and the whole world was bathed in the most charming sunshine.

"Brother, come on!"

Yan'er ran at the front, flying a kite and waving to Jingyu.

"Slow down!

Jingyu looked at the bright and lively Yan'er, standing behind and running after her unhurriedly.

"Young Master!"

Hearing someone shouting, Jingyu stopped and saw his personal servant running over.

"Young Master, the Nine Emperor Princes invite you to hunt in the West Mountain!"

"Hunting?"

Before Jingyu could answer, Yan'er had already run back, pitifully holding Jingyu's hand, and said in a glutinous voice: "Brother, you promised Yan'er not to enter the palace!"

"Yan'er, my brother didn't go to the palace, he went to Xishan!"

Jingyu blushed, is it really good to play word games with her sister like this?

"Huh?"

Yan'er was young after all, and although she felt that something was wrong, she couldn't find a reason to object, so she had to agree to her brother's invitation to the Nine Emperors.

"Since you're going hunting, go and get my 'Broken Stone Bow'. ”

Commanding the little girl, Jingyu squatted down again and touched Yan'er's head, comforting her: "Brother will accompany you to release the river lantern tonight, okay?"

"Yan'er doesn't believe it! What if the Nine Emperor Princes leave you for the night!"

Yan'er didn't overdo it, and made up her mind not to pay attention to Jingyu anymore.

Jingyu smiled stupidly, patted Yan'er's head, and said softly, "Brother will definitely come back to accompany Yan'er tonight, okay?"

"Let's come back first!"

After spending a while to appease Yan'er, Jingyu rode his horse to Xishan.

This West Mountain is actually a piece of land confined by the royal family, and some beasts are stocked in it for the hunting of princes and nobles.

Dali established the country with martial arts, the people are fierce, and the adult children of the nobility are generally proficient in the art of riding and archery, especially the children of the royal family, and they pay attention to cultivating this ability when they are young.

When Jingyu came, Ying Ze stood on horseback in a moon-white robe, so heroic like a green lotus on the cliff against the wind and frost, proud and independent.

It's such a face, I have seen it since I was a child, and it seems that I can't get enough of it in my life.

"Why do you dress so casually when you go out hunting? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt? Why don't you change into a military uniform?"

Jing Yuce immediately stepped forward and said angrily.

"Isn't this a summoning of you? You're by my side, and you won't hurt me, will you?"

Ying Ze's eyes, only when they are looking at Jingyu, there is a smile that goes straight to the heart, like the morning light in winter, cold and rare.

Jingyu shook his head, took the cracked stone bow from the little guy's hand, took an arrow, and shot at the roe deer running in the distance.

"Whoa—"

The roe deer was shot in one fell swoop, and it was out of breath.

"Well, your archery seems to be improving again!"

Ying Ze high-fived and praised, bowed slightly, and motioned to the attendants around him to pick up the prey.

"If you go out to hunt, why let people follow?

Jingyu glanced at the attendants beside Ying Ze, and inexplicably felt that they were a little in the way.

Ying Ze nodded with a smile and waved for them to step back, "You don't have to follow." ”

They looked at each other and galloped away together on horseback into the depths of the western mountains.

"Yu, look, the scenery over there is very good, how about we go and see?"

Ying Ze and Jing Yu rode horses in the empty mountains, the breeze was blowing, and the two of them were hunting in clothes, which did not look like the ripples that should exist in the world.

"Ze, my horse is not as good as your royal horse after all, why don't you and I share a horse?"

After that, Jingyu didn't care what Ying Ze responded, and immediately flew to Ying Ze's horse, and hugged the noble Nine Emperor Princes from behind.

Yingze's earlobes were slightly red, but she didn't make any resistance.

Jing Yu's father, that is, the prime minister of the dynasty, used to be Ying Ze's master, Jing Yu studied with Ying Ze when he was a child, because Ying Ze is the prince, so where Ying Ze makes mistakes, it is always Jing Yu who is punished, once Ying Ze felt quite guilty, so he offered to take medicine for Jing Yu, after that, the relationship between the two became close, and after many years of companionship, the two may have been secretly in love.

This spring is just right, everything grows, the so-called "axe catty into the mountains and forests", where are the two of them thinking about hunting, they are clearly looking for a way to enjoy spring.

"Yu, my father said that he would marry the girl from Uncle Guo's family. ”

Ying Ze snuggled up to Jingyu's chest, and coldly threw out such a sentence.

"Huh?" Jingyu felt incredulous, and looked at the person in his arms with an innocent expression.

"I heard that Uncle Guo's daughter is beautiful and beautiful, and her every move is dignified, you are really blessed. ”

Listening to Yingze's slightly sour words, where did Jingyu dare not have to deal with it.

"Hey, don't think about it, I will never marry that person!"

"The king gives it, don't dare to resign, how can you resist?"

"Isn't I, that, that uncle ambitious? he certainly doesn't want to marry his daughter to me. ”

"Yes, Uncle Guo is powerful, and many important ministers have accused him of being unsubordinate. ”

Hearing Jingyu's words, Ying Ze's handsome face flushed with a touch of melancholy.

"Don't think about it so much, does Uncle Guo dare to rebel?"

Seeing Ying Ze frowning, Jingyu couldn't help but say comfort.

"However, early this morning, Uncle Guo actually sent a lot of soldiers and horses into Beijing, but he didn't tell his father. ”

Emperor Li was seriously ill, and the government was controlled by the queen for many years, and the uncle mobilized troops and horses at this time, and even directly let him enter Kyoto.

"Okay, Ze, let's talk about your marriage to the princess, I heard that in the coming year you will open a mansion and build a tooth and become a prince. ”

"Uh-"

Ying Ze was unexpectedly countered by Jing Yu, and unconsciously showed a coquettish look, and lightly punched Jing Yu, "You know how to change the topic." ”

"This is not to change the topic, I haven't heard my father talk about my marriage, but the news that you will be crowned king next year has been approved by the emperor, according to the rules, you must get married before you become king!"

Jingyu grabbed Yingze's hand, and his words couldn't help but bring wisps of sadness.

"Yu—"

Ying Ze raised his eyes and Jing Yu looked at each other, and they both saw a firmness.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, the spring flowers are blooming very well there, let's go and see!"

With Ying Ze's eyes, Jingyu rubbed his head, pointed to the delicate flowers in the distance, and rode his horse to lead him forward.

The two of them wandered in the mountains all day, and they didn't even have lunch, just thinking about snuggling up to each other lazily until they were old.

The sun was dusk, the sun was setting, and the two were reluctant to separate.

Jing Yu smirked and walked into Kyoto with the little girl, only to feel that Kyoto is not as lively as usual, on weekdays, if it is such a good weather, there should be people on the long street, rubbing shoulders.

After walking for another distance, Jingyu felt that there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Come with me!"

Jingyu greeted the little guy behind him, and he didn't care about anything else, put down the horse he was holding in his hand, and galloped towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The closer he got to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the more viscous the smell of blood in the air became, and Jingyu only felt that something in his life was gradually being withdrawn.

Before entering the mansion, the tragic situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion came into Jingyu's eyes, only to see the servants falling to the ground scattered, the red blood was almost dry but still flowing, and the dull blood color made the soles of his feet soft.
