In August, the summer is already deep. The autumn flowers are red, and the cicadas are like showers.

The seasons change, and so do people, but people don't know it. Everything that happens around us is like a seed that takes root in the heart, accumulates and grows, and becomes one, and there is no way to get rid of it.

For Gu Zhiyang and others, even if the protagonist of the story is not them, every time they raise their eyes to look at the sky, there is always a difference that is difficult to explain. They don't know about themselves yet, but they can all see that Song Ping'an is changing.

In fact, on that day, Lin Youzhi never told a lie, and even his prediction of the following days was not false in the slightest. The new girl Song got along very well with Gu Zhiyang and others, even if there was an awkward first meeting, it did not affect everyone's liking for her.

They are the same people, and even if Song Ping'an is changing, they are still the same.

I remember that at that time, just a few days after Song Ping'an came, everyone in the market knew that there was a new beauty in Lucheng. Beauty is always reflected in the form of "trouble" first, but Song Ping'an is no longer the little warrior who is used to giving in - the trouble she caused herself does not have to be delayed at all, and it will be solved on the spot.

At this time, people suddenly realized that Song Ping'an turned out to be a powerhouse of the sixth order of martial arts. What is ironic is that there are more people waiting for her on the road that Song Ping'an often walks - this time they want to find her as a backer. After all, outside the family, how can there be so many small Zhoutian in the rivers and lakes?

For those people, although Song Ping'an ignored them, the atmosphere of people on the road with hippie smiling faces and half-truths calling her "big sister" became more and more enthusiastic.

Speaking of which, it's just their own strength as "brocade", and beauty is the icing on it.

Although Song Ping'an didn't really have the interest to stand up and stand on his own, he really realized that he needed to be trained.

After Mu Yunyi left the customs, under Song Ping'an's own wishes, she gradually handed over some difficult things to her to learn to deal with. Learn everything from the most basic escort of valuable goods, to accompanying you in negotiations with other forces, to participating in the decision of the life and death of small gangs.

Mu Yunyi not only never hides her selfishness, but also has extremely strict requirements for her. For these, Song Ping'an couldn't ask for it.

At first she often came back with injuries, but soon no one could hurt her. Her smile is still kind, but her eyes are becoming more and more determined, and she really has a bearing that goes hand in hand with her strength.

Song Ping'an is growing at an astonishing speed, she is no longer the ignorant girl who blushes when she talks to strangers, and only when she makes fun of her relationship with Lu Qiming can she see her shyness in the past.

Gu Zhiyang has been practicing swords more and more hard recently, and Xia Wu has also realized that he can't be lazier than a woman, and he has worked hard to practice, and he has actually been lucky to have a breakthrough - although there is still some distance from the standard of Zhongwu, it is much better than before when there was no hope. It's a pity that Yao Chengxiang returned to Datang in a hurry, otherwise in this atmosphere, his martial artists would probably be able to live up to his name.

Everyone and everything are burning upward.

They are all waiting for a better encounter with someone in the future.

......

The vast snowy region is a land of bitter cold, and the Tang Dynasty is a country of bitter cold.

It was also August, and there was even a light snow in the capital of Datang last night. There was a warm fireplace in the study, and there was a fluffy fox fur on her shoulders, but Lin Youzhi had been writing for a long time, and her fingertips were still red from the cold, but she didn't notice it at all, sometimes smiling, more often frowning and thinking.

Yaoyao stood in front of the door, not daring to disturb, only occasionally lightly adding warm tea to her.

As the sun rises, the snow melts and becomes muddy with the soil. In the first half of the month, the flower bones that finally opened their buds were frozen off the branches and melted in the muddy water, which is deplorable. Fortunately, the red paper lanterns were hung under the eaves, which added some joy.

And when Yaoyao saw the red lantern, her expression was even more compassionate. Not only the Lin Mansion, but the entire Tang Capital was hung up with festivities.

Qing, the crown prince Tang Sheng returned to China.

Tang Sheng is not dead, so the Lin clan, as an ally on the surface, must have a sincere and sufficient explanation. Lin Youzhi, who single-handedly controlled the matter, was naturally forcibly recalled by the clan, took back all his rights, and was grounded.

But that's not enough.

The clan's decision hasn't come out yet, but it's definitely not going to be easy. Yaoyao didn't know what the verdict would be waiting for Lin Youzhi, and every time she thought about it, she felt pain in her heart.

Lin Youzhi is very good, so good that some clan elders have the idea of cultivating her as the head of the family. But she is a woman after all, and she is still a woman who has not cultivated -- she wants to be the head of the house?

If you use martial arts as an analogy, she herself is her most vulnerable lifeline.

In the eyes of outsiders over the years, Lin Youzhi is extremely brilliant, but Yaoyao knows that her young lady is always walking on thin ice. Because she must not make a mistake, and if she is not careful, she will lose everything. Therefore, Lin Youzhi must calculate everything and strive for perfection in everything - in order to be considered innocent.

But this time, Lin Youzhi resolutely set up a death situation for Tang Sheng, even if he succeeded, it was the result of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of himself. Yaoyao didn't understand, why did a smart person like her own young lady make such a move this time?

No, Yaoyao actually still understands, but the word love is always misleading.

If Lin Youzhi knew Yaoyao's thoughts, he would probably laugh "right or wrong". She is not the kind of infatuation that puts herself out of the way, but she has no way to put Lu Qiming out of the way. As for who is lighter and who is heavier? I'm afraid Lin Youzhi himself can't say.

......

Suddenly, there was a commotion from far and near. A long line of guards came carrying boxes.

Lin Youzhi walked out of the house when he heard the sound, stood indifferently by the red lantern in a snow-white fox fur, and looked at the boxes with red silk hanging on half of the courtyard with a calm expression.

The chief of the guard saluted Lin Youzhi and said with a glance: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was relieved to learn that Miss Lin had returned safely, and specially ordered his subordinates to send congratulatory gifts. "It's a congratulatory gift, but the box with red silk is more like a dowry.

Lin Youzhi only smiled and said, "Go on." ”

The chief guard waved his hand, and the person next to him presented a square box. He said coldly: "This is a love token specially prepared by His Royal Highness for Miss Lin, which must be the most in line with Miss Lin's heart." ”

Lin Youzhi guessed what it was, chuckled, and nodded, "Not bad." Anything else?"

The chief guard didn't want to say a word, and hurriedly left with a fist, and someone behind him let go of Cai Cai, who had always been restrained. Cai Cai had tried to stop them from coming in, but it was impossible.

As soon as he was let go, he immediately stomped his feet and said, "Miss, what do you mean by them!" What are they doing?"

Lin Youzhi took a few steps forward, touched the square box, and said lightly: "Isn't it obvious? Isn't this the explanation they want? Or, I will marry Tang Sheng as a concubine-"

Cai Cai sneered: "I want to marry Miss, I think it's too beautiful, right?"

"Or," Lin Youzhi calmly continued to say another way, "Banish me to the Black Triangle." ”

Hearing the words "Black Triangle", Yaoyao Caicai's breathing was stagnant, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Cai Cai muttered: "Did the prince do such a desperate thing in order to get what he wanted?"

"Get what you want?" Lin Youzhi sneered, lowered his eyes and looked at the box and said, "Do you think Tang Sheng is really infatuated with me?"

Her chin was slightly raised, as if she was looking at someone, and she laughed loudly: "Tang Sheng pursued me in the past because he was greedy; ”

Red lanterns, red silk, red boxes. Yaoyao and Cai Cai glanced at each other, and they both felt cold inexplicably. Cai Cai whispered: "Miss, maybe things are not ......"

Lin Youzhi smiled and raised his hand.

The lid of the box was lifted, and a faint fishy smell wafted. Among them was a bloody coat. The mottled bloodstains have long since dimmed, but it is not difficult to see how tragic the road was.

This is a token of love?! It is clearly a blatant murderous intention.

Cai Cai couldn't help but take a step back, tears fell like beads with broken threads, and cried: "Miss, Miss is too bitter......"

"You're wrong. Lin Youzhi firmly closed the box, turned back to the house, and said calmly: "Everything I do is completely out of my own will, so why bother?"

She turned her back, the corners of her lips curled with a hint of sarcasm.

It's ridiculous that Tang Sheng thinks that she has finally grasped the initiative, right? This is indeed a risky move, but she is still a chess player, what is he Tang Sheng?

In this world, no one can force her to do what she doesn't want to do. No matter who it is.
