Life is a wonderful journey, you have met many people, but you are destined to be separated, sooner or later.

And yours just came a little earlier.

Are you right?

Xu Han sat up from the snow, and the gray snow continued to fall from the sky, covering the entire antler field under the heavy snow.

"Meow?" Xuan'er leaned in front of Xu Han, her amber eyes full of worry.

The whimper on the side also stood up at that time, shook off the snowflakes around it, and came over with its tail wagging.

Xu Han's face was a little pale, and a rich black qi flickered in his eyes, he stroked the hair on Xuan'er's body, and after a while, he suppressed the changes in his body, completely suppressing the black qi that lingered in his eyes.

He looked at Xuan'er and Woo with a smile, and said, "It's okay, I'm just tired, take a rest." ”

Xuan'er and Whimper stared at Xu Han for a while, their eyes full of doubts, and they didn't seem to agree with Xu Han's words. In fact, Xu Han was not tired, but when he arrived at this antler plain, he suddenly fell down without warning, and this trip was a real night, and he didn't wake up until this moment.

Xu Han naturally knew that he could deceive others with his words, but he couldn't deceive Xuan'er and Woo, who were with him day and night.

He simply stopped dwelling on this topic, he squinted his eyes and sat in the snow and was silent for a while, as if calculating something, and then he smiled again and looked at Xuan'er: "It's still too late, let's go and rescue you from there." ”

Xuan'er was stunned, it tilted its head to look at Xu Han, and it took a long time before it reacted.

He let out a long call, but his eyes turned to the other side with some excitement, looking at the mountain top in the distance.

It was a majestic mountain, but the whole body was flowing with a strange black, and in the middle of the mountain was an equally majestic palace, which was once a sacred place for countless Confucian students, but now it is the tomb of countless heroes and heroes.

Xu Han patted Xuan'er's head and said, "Let's go." ”

......

"Have you written down all the things I asked you to remember?" Chen Xuanji sat in the side hall of Changle Palace, looked at Fang Ziyu on the side with a leisurely expression, and asked with a smile in his mouth.

Fang Ziyu frowned, she didn't understand why Chen Xuanji had become the way he was now.

The once outstanding elder brother is like a different person, no longer has a warm smile like a spring breeze, and no longer has the same words and deeds. He has fully integrated into the role of an emperor, the city is unfathomable, and every word and deed seems to be secretly calculating.

Fang Ziyu probably also knows that everyone has their own last resort, but this kind of Chen Xuanji still makes Fang Ziyu difficult to accept.

But she still decided to answer Chen Xuanji's question after a few breaths of silence, she nodded and said, "Back it." ”

"Then I'll ask you a few places, and if you answer correctly, this matter will be over, and I can go to the Qin Wangfu to say goodbye to Ye Hongjian and them tonight. Chen Xuanji was very satisfied with Fang Ziyu's answer, he smiled and nodded, and then began to ask Fang Ziyu about the content of those things that she asked her to recite.

"The northern part of the country is remote, the land is barren, the people are fierce, and there will be a shortage of food in every disaster year, if so, what should be the solution?"

Fang Ziyu, who was already confident, not only frowned when she heard this question, but she said that most of the things she recited were the customs and customs of various parts of Chen Guo, the current situation of various places, and the daily affairs of some officials, but there was no answer to Chen Xuanji's question.

Therefore, she looked at Chen Xuanji resentfully at that time, obviously taking Chen Xuanji's question as a deliberate embarrassment, so she said: "If you want to regret it, then just say, why bother!"

Chen Xuanji's expression on his face was still leisurely when he heard this, he gently knocked on the desk next to him, and Ying Ying smiled: "There are countless people in this world who can endorse books, but there are very few people who can learn and use them, I let you endorse them, and you will memorize them by rote, how can you be worthy of my position as Queen Chen?"

Fang Ziyu stomped his feet and said angrily: "I can't afford it, you can just change someone else to bear it!"

Chen Xuanji didn't understand Fang Ziyu's words, but turned to say: "Think about it, the answer is in those books, remember, if the answer is out, you can go and meet your old friends for the last time today, after all, Dayuan Mountain is not a place where you can come back if you go." But if you can't answer, the emperor has no jokes, although I am very sorry, I can only let you continue to stay in this palace. ”

Fang Ziyu's face changed, she couldn't wait to raise her sword and kill the man in front of her at this moment, but her cultivation was not good, she was far from his opponent, she could only lower her head and grit her teeth and meditate on the solution to the problem in Chen Xuanji's mouth.

Fortunately, although she likes to be lazy on weekdays, her brain is very smart, and after some thought, she came up with an answer that might work.

She cleared her throat and said at that time: "There is a shortage of grain in the north, but Xiluo County, Hutoubao, and Xiangping City to the south of the Chen Kingdom are all large grain producers, and the imperial court has a large number of granaries there, from which grain can be transferred. But from here to the north, the terrain is difficult and dangerous, and the Bairi Gorge is rampant with bandits, and it needs to be supervised by heavy troops to prevent accidents. ”

Chen Xuanji nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then asked, "Then who should be sent to transport grain?"

"The veteran is resting on the battlefield for a long time, and he is worthy of this responsibility. ”

"And who should be sent to deliver the food?"

"The western border of Huancheng is too guarded by Luo Ning to be honest and honest, and he has always loved the people, so he can go without worry. ”

seemed to have opened her mind, Fang Ziyu answered Chen Xuanji's question for a while, and after saying this, she also looked at Chen Xuanji with a proud face, as if she was sure that she had such an answer, and Chen Xuanji should not be able to find any fault.

But who knew that after Chen Xuanji heard this, he shook his head, and he said: "Everything else is right, but the last link is wrong." ”

Fang Ziyu blinked his eyes and asked a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"

She thinks that the answer she gave is perfect enough, although there may not be no other candidates except this Luo Ning, but with the information she has seen, Luo Ning is definitely one of the most suitable candidates.

Chen Xuanji said with a smile: "Luo Ning is naturally good, but being honest now does not mean that he will be honest in the future, especially when a Taishou has hundreds of thousands of money and food, as long as he detains a little bit of these things, it is enough to make him worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life." Not everyone can withstand such temptation, you should be well aware ... People change. ”

Fang Ziyu heard what the other party meant, her face suddenly changed, and her expression became strange.

But Chen Xuanji was still unaware of this, and he said: "Therefore, in addition to Luo Ning, you have to send another person, and the two of them will contain each other, so that the power sharing party can ensure that this matter is done." ”

"Okay, although you didn't answer this question correctly, it's not bad, next question..."

"If there is a civil uprising in the north, and the cause of the disturbance is unknown, how should you solve this matter at this moment?"

......

Chen Xuanji's questions are endless, from early morning to nightfall, Fang Ziyu answered dryly, although there will be some mistakes at the beginning, but Chen Xuanji also pointed out one by one that Fang Ziyu has a smart brain, and soon learned to draw inferences, and then the questions will be answered fluently, and the mistakes are even fewer, Chen Xuanji is finally completely satisfied with Fang Ziyu's situation.

Before the twilight completely fell, he nodded, and finally stood up: "Okay, count you through, go, I guess they should be waiting for you at this moment, but don't think about running away, I will keep an eye on you." ”

Chen Xuanji said this, glanced at Fang Ziyu meaningfully, and then stood up, turned around and walked out of this side hall.

The side hall finally quieted down at this time, but Fang Ziyu was not as surprised as she imagined, she looked at the back of Chen Xuanji leaving a little strangely, as if she thought of something, but it was difficult to explain her thoughts for a while, so she could only suppress it temporarily, after some washing, Fang Ziyu finally stepped out of this gorgeous but cold Changle Palace for the first time after getting married.

And when she came to King Qin's Mansion, it was indeed as Chen Xuanji said, Ye Hongjian and others had been waiting for her there for a long time.

Seeing her arrival, Nineteen and Su Mu'an surrounded her as soon as possible, looking at Fang Ziyu with great concern, and looking up and down even more vigorously, as if they were afraid that she would be abused by Chen Xuanji in the Changle Palace. After feeling the heartfelt care of the two little guys, Fang Ziyu was also in a much better mood.

After everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries, they finally got to the point.

Fang Ziyu looked at Ye Hongjian with a worried face and asked, "Is Uncle Shi also going to Dayuan Mountain?"

Ye Hongjian used to be a disciple of Si Blank, a generation higher than Ye Hongjian, since then Fang Ziyu has been calling Ye Hongjian as his uncle, at this moment, although Linglong Pavilion has made clouds, but this habit Fang Ziyu has never changed.

Ye Hongjian nodded, did not deny the matter, but said: "Naturally, I want to go." ”

Fang Ziyu was a little unbearable, the danger of this trip was naturally self-evident, but she really couldn't find any reason to keep everyone, not to mention that if she was still a free body, she might have to go without hesitation, there is a way not to do to others what you don't want to do to others, Fang Ziyu naturally suppressed such thoughts, and then sighed, and said with some self-pity: "Alas, it would be good if I could go too." ”

"Hmph!" But at this time, Xiao Nineteen on the side heard this, but muttered dissatisfiedly. "What's there to go, if you go, you can't die, can't you say that you can live a few more days?"

Xiao Nineteen is a child after all, and there is not much malice in this remark, but he is just angry about what everyone left behind.

Naturally, everyone didn't care, and Fang Ziyu, who saw everyone again, was also in a good mood, and looked at Nineteen with a smile at that time, and quipped: "What's the matter?

Nineteen's face was very thin, and when he heard this, he immediately stomped his feet, and his cheeks were red and he said, "How can there be... I don't bother to care if he lives or dies!"

Seeing this, Su Mu'an scratched the back of his head with some distress, and said to Fang Ziyu: "Sister Ziyu, don't joke anymore, nineteen doesn't mean that." ”

But who knew that his words not only did not alleviate Nineteen's embarrassing situation, but allowed Fang Ziyu to find a breakthrough. She showed a surprised look at that time as if she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and said in an exaggerated tone: "It's amazing, you know how to protect yourself at such a young age? ”

Nineteen couldn't stand such a scene, and at that time he stomped his feet again, and said loudly: "You are all villains!" and then rushed out of the compound of the Qin Palace's mansion with red cheeks, and didn't know where to hide.

Seeing this, Su Mu'an was a little helpless, but Fang Ziyu and Ye Hongjian glanced at each other at that time, and then laughed loudly. But after such laughter, there was a longer silence in the hall.

Su Mu'an, who was a little wooden, also knew that they were worried about the upcoming separation and the fierce and auspicious war, but surprisingly, except for chatting a little at the beginning, everyone was extremely tacitly reluctant to mention it. Su Mu'an had the heart to alleviate such a silent scene, he racked his unfortunate brains, and thought for a while before he looked at Fang Ziyu and asked, "How is Sister Ziyu doing in the palace these days?"

Fang Ziyu seemed to enjoy this long-awaited day of laughing with everyone, and she asked again at that time: "You care about me so much, why didn't you come to rob you in the first place?"

This was originally Fang Ziyu's joke, after all, she married Chen Xuanji completely out of desperation to rescue Meng Liang. But Su Mu'an, who heard this question, was extremely guilty, he lowered his head and said a little short of breath: "We originally planned to come to save Sister Ziyu, but the lord of the mansion stopped us... When asked why he didn't say anything, even Uncle Ning was moved by him and agreed with the words of the mansion master. ”

This matter was the first time Fang Ziyu had heard of it, she couldn't help but be stunned, not to blame Xu Han, but to wonder why he was like this, such a way of doing something that Xu Han, who had always protected his shortcomings, could do, and then thinking of Chen Xuanji's strange request, Fang Ziyu's heart was suddenly full of suspicions. She frowned, and fell silent.

Seeing this, Su Mu'an, who was on the side, thought that Fang Ziyu was angry with Xu Han for this matter, and Su Mu'an, who had always regarded Xu Han as his life goal, hurriedly defended Xu Han and said: "Sister Ziyu, you must not be angry with the lord of the mansion, he may just do this so that Sister Ziyu does not participate in the matter of Dayuan Mountain..."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Fang Ziyu's body shook at that time, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Ye Hongjian on the side with a strange expression, and asked a question that was a little stranger than the look on her face at the moment: "Uncle Shi, do you say that a person will really become unrecognizable all of a sudden?"

Although Ye Hongjian didn't understand why she asked this question, she also knew that what Fang Ziyu was referring to at the moment should be Chen Xuanji, but she couldn't give an answer, so she could only frown and say: "Everyone is different, the answer you want can only be seen by yourself, I can't help you." ”

Fang Ziyu also understood this truth, she smiled bitterly, and no longer mentioned the matter, she asked, "By the way, why didn't you see Keqing?"

"Sister Keqing seems to be in poor health these days, most of the time she locks herself in the house, I went to look for her today, but she said that she was very unwell, so she didn't come to see you. Ye Hongjian replied.

Su Mu'an, who was on the side, also sighed when he heard this, and muttered: "Everyone seems to have something on their minds recently, and so does the master of Xiao Nineteen, who locks himself in the room every day, holds a book and looks at it vigorously, and even has to be personally delivered every day." ”

When several people heard this, they looked at each other at that time, and they were all a little helpless, and then they all fell silent again in such helplessness.

......

When the night was approaching, Fang Ziyu ended his rare gathering with everyone, and reluctantly left the Qin Palace, under the urging of the accompanying servants.

She returned to the residence that Chen Xuanji arranged for her in the Changle Palace, it was still deserted, and it was said that she and Chen Xuanji had been married for some days, although Chen Xuanji restricted his freedom, but he had never done anything excessive to her. She sometimes wonders to herself, what is Chen Xuanji marrying back for? Could it be that she just makes herself unhappy and makes Meng Liang unhappy?

With these doubts, Fang Ziyu pushed open the door of the residence, and there was still no one else in the room, but the thick pile of letters and books placed in front of the desk was particularly eye-catching.

Fang Ziyu was a little confused, she didn't remember that there was such a thing in her room. And the servant who followed behind her seemed to see Fang Ziyu's thoughts, he lowered his head and whispered in Fang Ziyu's ear: "These are the things that Your Majesty prepared for the Queen Mother, Your Majesty said that she gave the Queen Mother twenty days to read these." ”

When Fang Ziyu heard this, she suddenly felt a burst of anger in her heart, and all the doubts she had raised in her heart dissipated at this moment.

Frankly speaking, she even thought that Chen Xuanji might have his misery for doing these things, but when she saw these books, she suddenly felt that Chen Xuanji had done so much just to take revenge on her, otherwise what was the other party doing for her all day long by these boring and useless things?

She stomped her foot and snorted coldly, "Hmph." Who does he think he is, and why should I listen to him?"

Saying this, Fang Ziyu, who was furious, took a step, walked to the wooden table, lifted the thick book, and was about to throw it out. Seeing this, the servant who followed her hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty also said that if Niangniang can complete this matter as promised in twenty days, he will let Niangniang go free, and there will never be half a dilemma from now on." ”

Hearing this, Fang Ziyu couldn't help but be stunned, she stood in place for a long time, after all, she couldn't resist the temptation of freedom, although this may just be Chen Xuanji's trick to tease her, but even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Fang Ziyu wants to catch it.

With this in mind, she pointed to the book in her hand, took out one of them at random, and looked at it intently.

But I saw that on the title page were written the four big characters of "Da Chu Tongjian".
