Chapter 63: Covenants

In the quiet woods, the autumn wind was bleak, and the fallen leaves suddenly fell and fell on a person who had long been out of breath, but it could not hide the bitter battle for a short time.

Blood was dripping, and the hot and viscous liquid in his chest had long since lost its warmth. Through the eyes, my heart hurts.

"Shizi, it's not a pity for the slave to die, I hope that next time, Shizi won't be soft-hearted. With a desperate voice, with smiling tears, the woman slowly knelt down in front of the young man, "Shizi, promise me, live, you must live, for the princess ......" The delicate face was finally frozen and became a memory.

"Xiao Wu-" suddenly opened his eyes, was shocked into a cold sweat, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed.

Xin Bu paced under the windowsill, stretched out his hand to push open the window, the moon was dark and the wind was high outside, and the dark and terrible Qiwu forest in the middle of the night was terrifying, except for a few wolf howls from the depths, there was nothing else. On weekdays, he wakes up in the middle of the night, and most of the time he stands until dawn all night, but today seems to be different, and there is an even breathing sound in the house, Qing Shi only remembered that there is an uninvited guest in the house tonight, Princess Qiyuan of Daqin.

He turned around and looked, this girl who was said to be the most noble girl in Daqin was curled up on the recliner where he usually rested at this time, and seemed to be sleeping very soundly. When he was young, he turned out of Jiuli, and he worked hard all the way to have a comfortable life today, and he actually saw Princess Qiyuan when he was young. At that time, she was still very young, and his mother was still there, it was when the years were quiet and the present world was stable, he met His Majesty the Emperor in the main hall and paid tribute, and this little princess stood on the Danxi Golden Palace, her eyes burning. At that time, he thought that this princess was really favored, and even the prince had never stood beside His Majesty, but she could stand on the golden steps in a grand manner. is already so beautiful at a young age, but those eyes seem to be able to speak, and I don't know what I will look like when I grow up.

When he withdrew, he heard the young princess say, "Father, this son and brother are so handsome and handsome, is it the beauty mentioned in the book?" "The monarch and the minister, the monarch and the minister, the monarch and the father, the monarch and the monarch, are probably the same, but in the crisp voice like a pearl, it is clear that there is only the father who admires the thoughts.

At that time, Emperor Xuanping laughed, "If Ah Yan likes it, how about my father allowing him to be a colt?"

"Father!" the girl was annoyed, and it happened that Qingshi also happened to look back, and she glared at him fiercely.

It's just that since then, there has been a vicissitudes of life, and there is finally one less son in the world, and he has never seen the princess in his memory again. She is still the jade of heaven, and he has been scattered into mud. Many years later, in the Yannan grassland, in the lush forest, he met her again.

Qing Shi smiled, he actually lied to her, if there was no Feng Xiao Jiulong Huanpei, he would also recognize the girl in front of him at a glance, although the appearance is different, but those eyes, but because of the years, they have not lost any of their style, but they have brought the fatigue that does not belong to her age.

Some people are born to be envied. The jade of heaven, the love of father and mother, brother and brother, Princess Qiyuan is really a girl envied by everyone. If it weren't for a palace change at the beginning of the year, she would have continued to be honored and carefree for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, Qing Shi sneered, the royal nobles, the origin of the brothers, for the supreme position, you live and die, he is a small generation of princes, he has understood this truth since he was a child, not to mention these royal children. While fate gives you some privileges, you are also destined to lose something.

The subordinates around him, the dead and the wounded, Qing Shi no longer wanted to live the original life. Now a thatched hut is living comfortably, which couldn't be better.

"You're staring at me, it's scary. ”

Qing Shi was still thinking about it, but there was a displeased voice in his ears, and he found that the little girl on the deck chair had opened her sleepy eyes, and looked at him a little unhappily, "It's disturbing the princess's sleep." ”

Li Yan slept well, if it was in the past, she would have been very unaccustomed to it, but she had been away from Beijing for more than half a year, and she was no longer the emperor who was sleeping on a soft bed in the deep palace, and she was very tired when she was in a hurry during the day, so she fell asleep as soon as she got into the bed, but she always felt that someone was staring at her in a daze, which made her wake up.

"Don't say a princess on the left and a princess on the right, for the sake of you taking me in, you are allowed to call me by my name. Li Yan got up and straightened the clothes on her body, and in the middle of the night, Yan Nan was bitterly cold.

Qing Shi turned around and left, Li Yan thought that she had provoked him somewhere, but saw that he took the big hat she took off at night, and said: "Clothed, the temperature difference between day and night here is very large, not as good as Fengjing, and not as good as Jiangnan, don't catch a cold." ”

Cold on the outside and hot on the inside, Li Yan muttered, she put on her clothes and said when she tied the belt: "It's good for you to call me young." ”

"I'm Qing Shi. Qing Shi looked at the girl in front of him who was concentrating on tying the belt, and said solemnly. He seemed to have wanted to say this to this girl when he was far away, but it was clear that they had only met a few times.

Li Yan raised her head and showed her face, and her phoenix eyes were missing the vicissitudes of this year, "In the Qing Dynasty, I was dying." ”

He is not the prince of the king, she is not the princess of Qiyuan, she is just a worldly son in the sea of time, and they meet in the vast rivers and lakes.

"The sky in the middle of the night in Yannan has a different taste, are you interested in taking a look?" Qing Shi pointed to the scattered night sky and asked.

Li Yan thanked him: "I don't dare to ask for it." ”

On the thatched roof, a pair of people lie on their backs, facing the cool autumn breeze at night, and each person has a pot of wine. "Good wine, with a memory of the taste. ”

"This peach blossom brew is a gift from the immortals, and you are talking nonsense. Qing Shi actually didn't lie, he was against Jiuli at that time, in fact, the line of life and death, by chance he went into Qingqiu, and an immortal in the land of Qingqiu not only saved him, but also gave a few pots of peach blossom brew when he left, saying that it was given to someone who was destined. If it weren't for that, where else would there be such a person in the world?

Li Yan took another sip and said, "Don't believe it, the peach blossom brew I brewed is definitely exactly the same as this taste, so it has the taste in memory." My eldest brother and fourth brother are the favorite, but it's a pity that it's late autumn now, and there are no peach blossoms in spring, so you can't taste the wine I brewed. ”

She seemed to think of something when she said it, and she was very lonely, "Brother Xiu, I can't drink anymore." ”

Qing Shi naturally knew that Li Xiu, the king of Zhou, would never have the opportunity to drink Li Yan's wine again, but he privately felt that this heavenly lady beside him should not live such vicissitudes, she should be free and easy all her life, glorious and rich, with a loving father and an eldest brother, so he comforted: "The deceased is like this, King Zhou is in the spirit of heaven, and he must not like you to live so unhappy." I heard that it is written in the anecdote that if you toast a pot of wine on the Huangquan Road, your brother will definitely be able to drink it on the Wangxiang Terrace. ”

"Qiqi is too early, Brother Xiu is only afraid of drinking a cup of Meng Po soup in the morning, where do you remember the people who care about the world, I only hope that he will not be born in the emperor's family in the next life. "The Nine-Fold Palace Emperor Family, the origin is ruthless, she actually knows it all along, but she doesn't want to think about it, "What do you plan to do in the future?"

"What can I do? "Fame and fortune are like floating clouds, and now it is the reality that is stable," Yan Nan is very peaceful now, no matter how long Jiuli's hands are, he will not dare to commit crimes in the hands of King Zhao. ”

Li Yan quipped: "Wake up to be in charge of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, isn't this the ambition of your boys?

"I am now an ordinary person in Yannan, enjoying a very peace of mind, and not worrying about hard work. "If it was the Qing Dynasty of the youth, he was still the son of the king at that time, ambitious, full of talent, and just wanted to show his ambitions, but now in the Qing Dynasty, he has already seen the chaos of the world, and he just wants to live in one place, raise flowers and vegetables, and leave the world's major events to aspiring people.

"Tut-tut, but what the hell is this King Zhao, I've come all the way and heard too many myths about him. Li Yan turned around, only to see a string moon in the sky, shining with clear light, and a moonlight fell on the ground, which made her sleepy again.

"Myth, but it's really a myth, Zhao Wang Xiao Heng, this person is unfathomable. "I haven't seen King Zhao in the Qing Dynasty, but I can tell from the rumors that he is unfathomable, the hereditary king of the opposite sex in Great Qin, and he enjoys the title of non-degrading, "If this person is interested in the world, the change of dynasty in Great Qin is not far away." ”

Li Yan yawned and replied in a daze: "You underestimate my eldest brother too much, if they meet, it must be a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, and it really can't be done, so I will recruit him as a concubine." "The Great Qin Horse is not involved in politics and does not lead troops.

"You are naturally fond of landscapes, but I'm afraid you won't have a chance. Besides, this King Zhao is invulnerable, he has always been iron-faced and ruthless, and people who know him say that he is hard-hearted, so don't wade into this troubled water. Qing Shi drank all the wine in the pot, and seeing that the girl next to him didn't seem to react, he patted her on the shoulder, and saw that she looked sleepy.

"In that case, then you can be my colt, and let's see the great rivers and mountains of Daqin together. The princess is worthy of the prince, and it couldn't be more suitable. Li Yan turned over, "Qingshi, if you have a chance in the future, you will definitely be fair." ”

Fair. Qing Shi suddenly fell silent, so many years, he was seventeen years old and turned out of Jiuli, at that time he wanted justice, wanted the Heavenly Dynasty Fengjing to return him to discernment, but no, the land is still the king of the king. He died nine times in his life, how many people's lives left him to live now, he also thought about revenge, if it weren't for the immortals, now Qing Shi must be a person who has been blinded by hatred. Many years have passed, and right and wrong have their own judgment, and he no longer wants to pursue it, but a girl told him that she must give him justice.

It's just that she is bent on escaping from the royal bondage, how can she give him justice? It's just that he remembered this heart. "Okay, I'm waiting for you to get me justice. Even if it is far away, he hopes that this daughter of the emperor will be able to live happily in the future.

Some people, some things, but at a glance, is destined. Qing Shi thought that they must have known each other in their previous lives, maybe he owed her, maybe she owed him, and in this life, he wanted to smooth the wrinkles between her eyebrows and make her smile lightly.

Late at night, I saw someone on the roof holding a girl jumping down from it, carefully placing it on the bed, and then there was a sassy sword aura outside the house, and the remnants of the leaves fell on the ground.
