Chapter 3 Encounters and Acquaintances

Xiao Xuanchen bullied her and directly forced her into the corner, with nowhere to hide. In this irreversible situation, the true part of Zhuang Meiyan's character was finally revealed. She frowned slightly, stubbornly raised her head, and stared at each other's eyes without fear, with an awe-inspiring expression.

If you change to an ordinary man, under the scrutiny of this look, you may feel guilty for your rude behavior, however, the man in front of you is the biggest scoundrel. At this moment, the corners of his mouth curled up with a hippie smile, but the smile was even more charming.

"What's the matter, you're the prince's woman?"

"Did he call you, or did you come yourself?"

"That hot dance just now wasn't enough fun, want to do it again?"

A series of provocative questions made Zhuang Meiyan frown, she raised her arms suddenly, and used all her strength to push towards the hateful handsome face. Before the raised arm fell, it had been deftly caught and pressed above her head, and the face wearing the butterfly mask suddenly pressed down, and the man's heavy breath pressed down on her, burrowing into her every pore, into her nose, into her mouth......

Zhuang Meiyan's eyes widened, woo, hmm.

He, he kissed her!

He mischievously covered her red lips over her own, his eyes flashing playfully outside the mask, and a large hand gently caressed the right side of her face, his fingers gently rubbing the outline of her red mole. His tongue was like an abominable viper, deftly prying open between her jerky lips.

Zhuang Meiyan, who was shocked, finally reacted, and her eyes showed anger.

"Hmm--"

Xiao Xuanchen suddenly raised his head and turned his face to the side, the pain from his mouth made him frown slightly, but there was still a nasty faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He spat on the ground nonchalantly, the spit was faintly bloodshot, and Zhuang Meiyan bit the tip of his tongue in anger, if he hadn't reacted fast enough, half of his tongue might not have been saved.

"Hehe!" he chuckled, his sword eyebrows raised lightly, and he looked up and down at the unattractive woman in front of him, her chest rising and falling slightly, obviously moved by real anger, and her eyes were full of awe-inspiring and inviolable power.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Taking advantage of his distraction, Zhuang Meiyan brushed his arm away, Xiao Xuanchen did not make any further moves, and retreated. Zhuang Meiyan did not squint, and walked out along the same road.

As she walked through the backyard of the inn, she heard the crisp sound of horses' hooves behind her.

"Ahh

A strong arm went around her slender waist, and in an instant, as if a cloud was soaring, she found herself on horseback, and in the arms of the man, her eyes darkened, and her face was covered with a cloth. Without waiting for Zhuang Meiyan to resist further, Xiao Xuanchen gently clamped his crotch, and the black horse neighed, and quickly passed through the arc-shaped arched gate of the backyard.

Feng'an's Antienmen Street, an ordinary wine shop.

In a private room facing the street on the second floor, two men sat opposite each other on a low couch, one handsome and the other heroic, and the two were drinking and having fun. The fair-skinned and delicate person sat on the side of the desk, holding a wine glass, drinking slowly, while the vigorous person was lying on the couch sideways, holding the wine jug in one hand and holding it high, the wine syrup flowing, and the posture was free and uninhibited.

"Brother Chu is very happy, he can get the position of general before he is established, and there is no one before or after in my dynasty. The handsome man raised his glass to Saga, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was as usual, and he didn't look very happy.

Chu Yifan laughed and continued to drink the wine by himself.

"When you become a general, you are still the same as before, sitting in a small wine shop on the street, getting drunk, and probably only you. The handsome man continued.

"Young and high, light and heavy, why be happy?" Chu Yifan seemed to be a little drunk, and muttered, "The sword in the box is empty, when will the furrow in the chest be flat?"

The delicate man's eyes were like swords and he stared at Chu Yifan firmly, as if he wanted to see him through.

"The ravines are difficult to flat, do you have to fight on the battlefield and become famous in the world in order to prove your ideals and ambitions and fill the ravines in your heart. ”

"If you don't want to fight, what kind of good soldier is you?" Brother Qin, what do you say?" Chu Yifan asked rhetorically.

That handsome man is Qin Fengyang, his own sister is the current queen, the Qin family is extremely powerful in the court, but Qin Fengyang naturally doesn't like politics, he would rather be a small head catcher in the Criminal Department. He was in the sixth rank, and this title was brought about by his part-time job - the official title bestowed on him by the emperor was the deputy commander of the Ouchi guard, and he had the privilege of entering the palace with weapons without having to dismount.

It's a pity that he doesn't like this position, but he prefers the position he has sought - to solve cases like a god and catch the head of the key criminals. When his identity was revealed, his immediate boss almost died of embarrassment - the head of the criminal department was just from the sixth grade, and he actually had to take care of him.

He is a modest person, and he usually does not have the frame of the children of official eunuchs, and slowly everyone is accustomed to it, and he no longer feels that his identity stands out from the crowd, coupled with his outstanding talent, the Criminal Department relies on his ability to judge cases very much.

The queen mother was very dissatisfied with this, and hinted at the secretary of the criminal department several times, signaling him to either promote his younger brother, or simply drive this uncompetitive younger brother out of the criminal department. However, the criminal department Shangshu is a well-known "tumbler", and he has been perfunctory several times, but the queen has no choice, and the younger brother himself is not angry, he is willing to be mediocre, and he does not cherish the position of the deputy commander of the six grades she gave him, and he refuses to enter the inner palace, so the queen has to give up.

Qin Fengyang and Chu Yifan got acquainted with the young man and had a deep friendship. Chu Yifan went to the Qiyang Mountain Frontier to serve in the military, and later became a commander, rising all the way, until today he can return to the capital to have a drink with his friends.

"The imperial court has dispatched troops, is there going to be a big movement in the north?" Qin Feng said.

"Wuyang Kingdom is about to have a big incident, the frontier is unstable, and the imperial court naturally wants to increase troops, which is also a normal dispatch, which is not surprising. Chu Yifan said lightly,

"Big deal?" Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, his face was surprised, and said, "Could it be that the lord of Wuyang Country has been--"

Although he doesn't know about politics, he is a fast catcher and extremely well-informed. Xiao Hanchun, the current lord of Wuyang State, has made great efforts to govern the country, appointing virtuous ministers, and is a Ming lord, with the support of the two major families of Wanyan and Yelu in the court, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the country's power is getting stronger and stronger. Wuyang was originally famous for its strong soldiers and sharp weapons, and with the strength of the country, it showed more and more aggressive momentum.

Wuyang Kingdom, Wushuang Kingdom, Tang Ming Kingdom, Three Kingdoms, no major wars have occurred in a hundred years, therefore, for Wuyang Kingdom, the biggest danger does not come from the outside, but from their interior.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wuyang Kingdom has been in our Wushuang Kingdom for some time, and at first it was just to say that for the sake of friendship between the two countries, exchange of envoys, but this visiting messenger is inevitably too noble. Qin Fengyang said.

"Kuching Guoshen was born inside and in danger, and heavy ears are safe outside. Chu Yifan took another sip of wine, and his drunkenness was even stronger.

Qin Fengyang nodded slightly, the establishment of Prince Xiao of Wuyangguo has always been criticized, according to the rules of Wuyangguo, the harem concubines can only be selected among the two major families of Wanyan and Yelu, and other women are not allowed to conceive heirs even if they are lucky enough to be favored by the emperor. This is an unwritten rule in Wu Yang's harem.

The late Empress Dowager Xiao's maiden family is the Yelu family, the current queen is the Wanyan family, the queen has no heirs for a long time, and the rule of Wuyang Kingdom has always been to establish a successor and not to grow up, so the position of the prince can only be vacant. Later, under pressure, under the auspices of Empress Dowager Xiao, Empress Wanyan chose a prince to succeed herself and made him the crown prince.

The origin of this prince is quite mysterious, he did not grow up in the harem since he was a child, Wu Yangguo is secretive about it, few people know, people only know that three years ago, Wu Yangguo suddenly received a young man who entered the palace with an extremely grand ceremony, and declared to the outside world that he was the new prince of Wu Yangguo, Xiao Xuanchen.

People have no way of knowing who his biological mother is, and even more so, they suspect that he is not the blood and blood of the lord of the country, and all kinds of speculation have caused various rumors, which also makes the mystery of the prince's life even more confusing.

Chu Yifan narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Fengyang, and said, "Qin Da Zhutou, haven't you always been complacent with the most well-informed sources? ”

Qin Fengyang smiled slightly.

"Do you really want to know? Well, according to the rules of the road, any message needs to be exchanged. ”

"Hehe, is the son of your dignified Prime Minister Qin still lacking rare silver?" Chu Yifan's smile hid some kind of danger.

"My sources have always been sophisticated, but infallible. Qin Fengyang said lightly, as a head catcher, he walked between black and white, and his interpersonal relationships were very extensive, from high-ranking officials and nobles, down to pawns and hawkers, and even thieves and strongmen, as well as many mysterious people who could not see the light.

"What do you want?"

"Message for message. ”

The light in Chu Yifan's eyes flashed, and he instantly returned to his drunken state, and laughed.

There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the street, and the two of them looked out of the window together, it was almost dusk, the streets were densely crowded, and the rider relied on his own mastery of riding, and the horse under his crotch was very spiritual, and refused to slow down at all, and galloped. The panic of the people to make way for him caused a lot of complaints and curses, and the black-robed knight did not seem to notice the inconvenience caused to the people by his wild behavior, but instead had a spring breeze on his face, holding the woman in his arms tightly in one hand and the reins in the other.

"Drive!"

"Happy!" Chu Yifan saw this scene, raised the wine jug and signaled to Qin Fengyang: "Prince Xiao is really proud! ”

"This Merry Prince--" Qin Fengyang shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "Even if it is Taoguang Yangyu, it is inevitably too nonsense." Hey, by the way, the woman in his arms seems to be very familiar, it seems to be the 'female wine fairy' in Qiyang Town. ”

Qin Fengyang deserves to be a famous catch of a generation, although the woman's face is covered with half a white cloth scarf, he can still see the identity of the other party at a glance. At this time, he was casting his inquiring gaze on Chu Yifan, who swallowed the last sip of wine into his stomach, looking unsatisfied.

"What news do you want?"

"The news I want has something to do with this girl. ”

The peaceful atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled down.

Ride against the wind and gallop wildly.

Zhuang Meiyan's mood at the moment was not only panicked, but also panicked.

This is not a business, if it is a business, even if the other party is scheming, she has a thousand countermeasures; this is not a wicked person provoking trouble, the devil is one foot high, the road is one foot high, there is always a way to deal with it. This man is not an opponent, he is not a bad person, he is --

Scoundrel, big scoundrel!

Zhuang Meiyan was helpless, his waist was firmly hugged by him, and he didn't even have room to struggle, and now he was still on the back of a galloping horse, if he jumped off the horse, maybe he wouldn't even have his life.

She was a little glad that her face was covered with a cloth, otherwise she would ride with a strange man in full view of everyone, and if she was recognized, her innocent reputation would be ruined, and she would also be disgraced to the family, and she would not even be able to gain a foothold in the family.

Zhuang Meiyan began to regret that she shouldn't have rushed into the post house, at least she should have let Xiao Mo accompany her, it was too late to say anything now. She could only sit on horseback, resign herself to fate, and let the other party take her wherever she wanted.

What does he want? He is not very pretty, and looking at the girls who play with him in the garden, which one is not more beautiful than himself!

What will he do with himself? Will he ......

The surroundings were getting quieter and quieter, they seemed to have passed through the downtown area, and then passed through the city gates, the breeze, the grass, and the smell of flowers, and they had come to the outskirts. Zhuang Meiyan's heart beat harder and harder, and she "banged" uncontrollably, and she couldn't calm down even if she tried her best to control it.

The horse stopped suddenly, she didn't expect the horse to stop from galloping without warning, her body involuntarily leaned forward, and even exclaimed.

"Ahh

The arms around her waist tightened slightly, and her body had left the horse's back. Zhuang Meiyan felt that her feet finally landed on the ground.

"Huh!" the guy chuckled in her ear.

And then--

No then.

Zhuang Meiyan stood defensively, slowly spinning vigilantly, she didn't know the other party's intention to bring her here, let alone what the other party would do next.

"You, what do you want?" Zhuang Meiyan instinctively put his hand in front of him to prevent the other party from rushing over. "His Royal Highness the dignified Prince, robbing the people's daughters in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of becoming a laughing stock in the world?"

Zhuang Mei's color was very inward, and she didn't know if this kind of false words and intimidation could scare the other party away. This is a "merry prince" who does not pay attention to the rules, he is a native of Wuyang, and in his eyes, the rules of Wushuang are like waste paper, since he dares to take himself out of the city in public, he is naturally fearless.

Zhuang Meiyan was apprehensive.

However, after waiting for a long time, the surroundings were still quiet, and the other party did not make any next move. Zhuang Meiyan listened attentively, only heard the murmuring of flowing water, and there seemed to be no one else around, he left?

"Huh!"

A narrow chuckle came from not far away, and Zhuang Meiyan immediately turned her body vigilantly to the source of the sound.

"Do you like to use your ears to tell your way, why don't you untie your handkerchief yourself?"

A word to the awake dreamer.

Zhuang Meiyan was also panicked, just guarding against Xiao Xuanchen's next move, she had already forgotten that she had now regained her freedom and could completely untie the handkerchief. Under Xiao Xuanchen's reminder, she quickly pulled off the handkerchief covering her eyes and looked at the other party angrily.

As the sun sets, the light is dim and soft, quietly enveloping the vast wilderness. The sunset of dusk shattered into a golden patch on the slowly flowing river, swaying gently like golden scales of the river, a man in a black robe stood by the river, the black horse beside him bowed his head to drink, the light of the setting sun gilding him and his mount with a soft golden edge, and in the distance came the flute of the shepherd boy calling the herd home, rippling and circling happily on the edge of the sky.

Zhuang Meiyan felt that her heart suddenly became a little soft, and she didn't know when she ran to Java Island early. Looking at the endless sky in the distance, her mind suddenly drifted to the far north, mountain after mountain, in the wilderness, large open wild peony, prickly plum, patches of fir forests, and ......

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a serene smile.

"Love the place, don't you? beautiful and quiet. ”

Hearing the whispers of the people around her, Zhuang Meiyan suddenly realized that she didn't know when she walked to the river, and the two stood side by side, very close to each other. Zhuang Meiyan frowned, and immediately took a step back to the side, distancing himself from the other party, Xiao Xuanchen didn't seem to notice the change in this detail, his eyes were fixed on the sunset on the horizon, and his expression was thoughtful.

At this time, this calm man and the guy who had just behaved absurdly were completely like two people, Zhuang Meiyan wondered if his eyes were wrong for him, or maybe he was just a passing traveler standing beside him at this moment, a traveler who wandered around, but couldn't find his hometown.

Zhuang Meiyan didn't know why she had this illusion, she secretly glanced at the man next to her, and she became more and more curious about the face under the mask. This curiosity is like a little worm hidden in the bottom of her heart, secretly gnawing at her heart, making her restless, and this feeling makes her feel ashamed - likes to spy on other people's **, is it considered a despicable personality?

"Okay, let's go!" Xiao Xuanchen suddenly stretched, clapped his hands very casually, and held the reins to lead the horse to the grass.

"Where are you going?" asked Zhuang Meiyan instinctively.

"Of course I'm sending you home! If you don't leave, the city gate will be closed! Prince Ben doesn't want to live in the suburbs, there are wolves infested!" he raised his hands exaggeratedly, trying to scare Zhuang Meiyan.

Such a mischievous trick did not intimidate Zhuang Meiyan, she just frowned, and asked in confusion and wariness, "Go home?"

"Sending you back to your own home, of course. However, if you want to go to my place, Prince Ben will not mind. "The way he smiles is disgusting.

Zhuang Meiyan's face quietly turned red, the red mole was even more obvious, and she couldn't help but hang her head, gently rubbing the placket of her clothes, and her face was shy. Xiao Xuanchen's gaze stayed on her face, as if it was gentle and affectionate, when Zhuang Meiyan raised his head, he turned around and patted the horse's neck, stroking the smooth fur back and forth, the horse felt the owner's thoughtfulness, and neighed happily.

"Well, Your Highness the Prince, the little woman has something she wants to ask you about. ”

Zhuang Meiyan had a sense of uncertainty about the unpredictable prince, and after walking a few steps behind him, she finally mustered up the courage to ask him that question, which was also the purpose of her trip.

Xiao Xuanchen continued to comb the horse's fur with his hands, and replied idly, "What? ”

In addition to acting absurdly, this prince is quite easy-going, and he does not have any prince's frame.

"May I ask who did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learn from today this 'bullfighting dance'?"

"This is the dance of my hometown, a friend asked me to dance, what are you asking for?" Xiao Xuanchen suddenly became interested and tilted his head to look at her.

In the past three years, Zhuang Meiyan had quietly asked the merchants of Wuyang in the past, and all the merchants of Wuyang said that they had never heard of or seen this kind of dance, so she knew that this kind of "bullfighting dance" was not a common dance in the prairie, so who else would there be who could dance this kind of dance? Zhuang Meiyan's palms were sweating for no reason, and his heart was beating like a drum.

"It's nothing, a friend of mine used to teach me how to dance, so I want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince if he's ever heard of this person?" Zhuang Meiyan said as calmly as possible.

"What's his name?"

"His name is Xiao ......," Zhuang Meiyan hesitated for a moment and said, "His name is Zheng Wenhao." ”

"Zheng Wenhao?" Xiao Xuanchen frowned, his right arm was wrapped around his chest, his left hand was on his chin, he thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Zheng Wenhao, this person is dead." ”

Dead? Dead!

Zhuang Meiyan's heart seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and the heavens and the earth suddenly turned a vast white, everything around her, including the people in front of her, was far away from her, and she heard her own voice repeating the other party's words mechanically and hollowly.

The man is dead.

When did he die? How did he die? Who killed him?

And these questions turned into the breeze on the wilderness, and she didn't even have the courage to ask. She always thought that she still had a chance, and even though she felt guilty about him not saying goodbye to him at the hot spring three years ago, she still felt that she could meet him again one day, and she could explain all the reasons to him. Yes, she had many, many things to say to him, and she always thought she still had a chance.

It turned out that the last chance had been missed by her.

He carried herself home that day, lying on his warm back, and in a daze, she felt that she should say something.

"Xiaobai. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Xiaobai, am I very heavy?"

"No, the lady is very light, Xiaobai has strength. The guy replied dumbly. At that time, he didn't know that he was seriously injured, and the blood had soaked through her clothes, he was just gritting his teeth and trying to comfort himself.

"Xiaobai, I--" She stopped talking, some of the words seemed difficult to say.

"Okay, lady, or you sing a song, Xiaobai wants to listen to the lady sing. ”

"Ge Sheng Mengchu, vines in the wild. Yumei is dead, who is alone!" she thought for a moment and sang softly.

Ge Sheng is covered with thorns, and the vines are in the domain. Yu Mei died here, who is alone!

The corner pillow is sloppy, and the brocade is rotten. Yu Mei died here, who is with Dudan!

To the beauty of the death of this, to the beauty of the death of this, who is alone.

"Are you crying?"

A low and hoarse voice interrupted her train of thought, Zhuang Meiyan woke up from her memory, she raised her hand in a panic and touched the coldness on her cheeks, and the feeling of wetness came from her fingers, and she cried. She cried!

Zhuang Meiyan was a little at a loss, she turned around in a circle in a daze, but she didn't know what she wanted to do, and she didn't know where she wanted to go. Finally, she picked up a stone from the ground, bent over, and threw it on the water. The water drifted not very beautifully, and the stone barely jumped on the surface of the water and sank to the bottom. She bent down and picked up another piece, and threw it out again, but it still didn't work, and it wasn't even as good as the last time...... Suddenly, as if she were obsessed, she kept picking up the stones, throwing them out, picking them up again, throwing them again......

"The lady is so stupid, she can't play in the water. The guy clapped his hands and laughed.

In the spring of that year, in the stream of Qiyang Mountain, he accompanied her to dig wild vegetables in the field. When he sat down to rest, he was very bored and threw stones into the water, and his water was so beautiful that the stones jumped like a little frog along the surface of the water, and even jumped to the other side of the stream. After she saw it, she was very envious, and she couldn't do anything if she threw it around, so he taught her by hand.

"Find a thinner stone, you ...... Yes, bend down, lean sideways, hold it like this, come, just push hard, throw!"

The stone flakes flew out from between her fingers, jumping happily, jumping, jumping...... Crushing a golden glow.

She lowered her head in a daze, looked at the fingers held on her wrist, and tears blurred her vision for a moment.

I'm sorry!

Xiao Xuanchen looked at Zhuang Meiyan, whose body was trembling, and was a little overwhelmed, her tears fell on his wrists, and every drop was like a burning iron, burning into his skin, making him uncomfortable. He just couldn't stand the stupid woman looking for stones all over the ground and throwing them into the river, he just helped her throw a successful float, even if he was grateful, he had to say thank you, why would she say "I'm sorry." ”

"He's your friend?" the deep voice was a little gentle.

Zhuang Meiyan's out-of-control emotions were slowly relieved, and she finally calmed down and exhaled vigorously.

"yes. Zhuang Meiyan thought hard and said slowly: "He is my best friend. ”

Xiao Xuanchen smiled deeply.

"Best friend? Is it as simple as just being a best friend?"

Zhuang Meiyan's chest froze, and she smiled hard.

"He is a good person, I used to hurt him because of my accident, I always thought that I had the opportunity to say 'sorry' to him, I thought life was very long, it turns out that life is so short, once you miss it, you will not even have the opportunity to say 'sorry'. ”

Xiao Xuanchen looked at her sad face and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, that friend of yours didn't mean to blame you, you don't need to feel guilty." ”

"He doesn't blame me, it doesn't mean I can forgive myself. Zhuang Meiyan looked a little stubborn.

"Then you came to Prince Ben to ask about this matter, and it has nothing to do with Prince Ruixiang. ”

"Yes, it's a little selfishness of Meiyan, and it has nothing to do with the prince. At this time, she had regained her previous calm, and she never showed her emotions in front of strangers, and this was the first time she had lost her temper.

She looked up at the sunset of the western mountains, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Alas! it's getting dark! I'm afraid the city gate is closed." ”

"Come, get on your horse, and I'll send you back." Xiao Xuanchen flew on the horse, and at the same time stretched out his arm to her, signaling her to get on the horse.

Zhuang Meiyan smiled slightly, she calmly stretched out her hand and climbed up to the other party's solid arm.

"Drive!"

With a broken drink, the two rode on the golden afterglow and galloped towards Kyoto in the distance.

As the sun sets, the dark night finally swallows up the last bit of afterglow, and the gates of the city slowly close.

The city, which had been noisy all day, gradually fell silent, and although it was not yet curfew, the number of pedestrians on the road had begun to dwindle, and even a few pedestrians were rushing to their homes. A handsome man in white walked slowly along Antianmen Avenue with a lonely expression, and a few curious passers-by hurriedly glanced at him, but they quickly recognized this man as the famous god hunting Qin Fengyang.

It's so late, Qin Zhutou still refuses to go home, seeing that he looks worried, maybe he has encountered some tricky case. One can only guess and rush to their homes as quickly as possible.

Qin Fengyang sighed softly, he looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance, and recalled the conversation he had with his young confidante Chu Yifan in the wine shop just now.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xiao of Wuyang Kingdom is indeed the biological son of the lord of the country, Xiao Hanchun, and his biological mother is not a humble person, strictly speaking, his mother is a person from our peerless country. ”

Chu Yifan's eyes lit up and said, "Could his biological mother be from the Zheng family?" ”

Qin Fengyang nodded, and sighed slightly: "The Zheng family was brutally murdered by Wan Yanchang back then, and more than 300 lives were ruined, the reason is not because Zheng Guogong was corrupt and bent the law, nor because he offended the powerful people in the DPRK and China by implementing the new policy, let alone because of the treason charges he was later snared, the root cause of all this is because of a woman named Zheng Luoyi, and the illegitimate child she gave birth to without telling the world. ”

Chu Yifan gasped and said, "So Xiao Xuanchen has been living in the Zheng family all these years, could it be that Zheng Wenhao is actually Xiao Xuanchen, and they are the same person?"

Qin Fengyang shook his head and said: "This matter is impossible to investigate, it is difficult to judge whether the two of them are the same person based on the limited clues now, but the only living mouth left by the more than 300 members of the Zheng family back then was Zheng Wenhao, which is known to the world." As for where Xiao Xuanchen came from, it is a mystery, perhaps the truth is only known to him and the person who saved him. ”

Chu Yifan poured a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The palace is deep, who can know the inside story, the Zheng family is just a victim of the gladiatorial fight between the Wanyan family and the Yelu family. But in this way, Xiao Xuanchen is the weakest of the five princes of Wuyang Kingdom, he has no backing from the family, on the surface he is the fairest, but in fact, he is full of dangers, and if he is not careful, he will fall into a place of no return, and it is his best choice to come to the Peerless Country to avoid disaster. ”

"Heavy ears died in Qin and married Qin and Jin. Qin Fengyang showed a hint of sarcasm and said: "Today's Wushuang Kingdom doesn't know if there is a win and remarriage. ”

Chu Yifan smiled, noncommittal, he exhaled, his eyes suddenly became bright, not at all like he was drunk.

"What news does Brother Qin want to know?"

Instead, Qin Fengyang lowered his head, stared at the wine glass in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I just want to know, Mr. Zhang, who died innocently after drinking the wine brewed by Miss Zhuang, why did he have to put him to death?"

The smile on Chu Yifan's face finally disappeared cleanly, he propped up his upper body and crossed the table, looked down at Qin Fengyang's face, and then whispered a word in his ear.

"Bangbang. ”

The sound of banging sounded on the street, pulling Qin Fengyang from his memories to reality. It's the second watch, it's already curfew time, and Qin Fengyang can't help but speed up his pace. In order to avoid the patrolling guards and make less trouble, Qin Fengyang bypassed the street and climbed over the wall into the alley. As he passed by a house, he suddenly heard a small sound, he was fast, and his sense of hearing was particularly keen, and he immediately frowned, because this sound came from the collision of weapons, and neither of the warring sides seemed to want to alarm others, so the movement was very small.

Qin Fengyang is a fast catcher, and he is more or less curious, and he will not be an exception.

He followed the source of the sound through the labyrinthine alley, and finally saw the shadow of a sword in a narrow alley. A black-robed man was trapped in a corner by a group of killers with his bare hands, and it was definitely not a problem to escape with his martial arts, but there was also a delicate woman behind him, and those killers sensed his weakness and desperately attacked the woman who had no ability to resist, so the black-robed man gradually fell behind. The bright moonlight shone on the woman's right face, and the obvious red mole made Qin Fengyang know who these two people were at once.

Yes, they are Xiao Xuanchen and Zhuang Meiyan. When they returned to the city, it was getting late, and the gates were already closed. Zhuang Meiyan was a little panicked, if he didn't return at night, Chunju and the others at home would definitely be in a hurry, and it would also cause criticism, this is Kyoto, no better than in Qiyang Town, so it is natural to be cautious in action.

Xiao Xuanchen seemed to understand her thoughts, he looked around smartly, taking advantage of the fact that the guards guarding the city were not paying attention, he performed light skills with Zhuang Meiyan, jumped on the wall, and sneaked into the city. Xiao Xuanchen's martial arts skills are very high, so he can easily avoid the patrolling soldiers, they walked through the alley, trying to reach the Zhuang Mansion as soon as possible, but after entering the alley, Xiao Xuanchen found that it seemed that someone was following them, although he accelerated his speed, he still encountered a sneak attack, if it wasn't for the protection of Zhuang Meiyan, he could have walked away.

Qin Fengyang saw that Xiao Xuanchen was getting more and more difficult, and rushed forward without thinking, with Qin Fengyang's assistance, these killers were defeated and retreated, and after the two of them joined forces to kill a few killers, the rest suddenly whistled, turned around and fled.

Xiao Xuanchen grinned, patted Qin Fengyang's shoulder, and said, "Thank you, brother, dare to ask the name of Gao?"

Zhuang Meiyan said softly: "Qin Zhutou, thank you for coming to the rescue." ”

Qin Fengyang didn't mind Xiao Xuanchen's vulgarity and rudeness, he stroked the dust on his clothes, and said with an indifferent smile: "It's just a gesture, besides, Qin Mou is a head catcher, so he doesn't care if he sees someone committing murder." His Royal Highness Prince Xiao is the guest of honor of our Peerless Kingdom, if something goes wrong, how can our Peerless Kingdom explain to the Lord of Wuyang?"

Xiao Xuanchen laughed.

"Good brother, righteous enough! Go, I invite my brother to drink a glass of Wuyang's good wine, the wine is strong enough, the taste is strong enough, and there are beautiful women to accompany you. ”

Speaking of good wine and beautiful women, his eyes suddenly became bright, and he seemed to be a little impatient.

Qin Fengyang shook his head slightly and said: "Thank you for the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen just came back from drinking, it is curfew time, it is better to go home as soon as possible." ”

"Oh. Xiao Xuanchen looked suddenly enlightened, and sighed: "Okay, this prince has to ask his brother to drink again that day, and if he doesn't get drunk, then we will leave." ”

"Farewell. Qin Fengyang arched his hand.

He looked at the back of Xiao Xuanchen and the others leaving, thoughtfully.

Xiao Xuanchen and Zhuang Meiyan hurried down the alley, and after a short time, they returned to the outer wall of the Zhuang mansion.

"We can't get in the gate, come, I'll hold you and throw you over the wall. ”

This man has never spoken properly, and he has just gone through a fierce fight, but his poor mouth has not changed at all, and he still laughs with a hippie smile.

Zhuang Meiyan knew that this person had such a temperament, so she was not annoyed, but just smiled and said nothing.

In the moonlight, the silver butterfly mask shone brightly, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes, and the corners of his lips were smiling as before, cynical.

"Who?"

Suddenly the wind swept around him, Xiao Xuanchen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately took the first step to pull Zhuang Meiyan to his left side, and choked the throat of the visitor with his right hand. Zhuang Meiyan shouted in a low voice.

"Don't kill her!"

Xiao Xuanchen was stunned and slowly let go of his fingers.

"Xiao Mo, why are you here?"

The person who came turned out to be Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo gestured and looked anxious, obviously asking her to go back early. Zhuang Meiyan was shocked, judging from Xiao Mo's gestures, it seemed that something very important had happened, and he had to hurry back.

Now that she has Xiao Mo, she no longer needs Xiao Xuanchen's help, Xiao Mo's martial arts are enough to take her into the house quietly, even if she is discovered, it is much easier to explain than with a man.

Without waiting for Zhuang Meiyan to say goodbye to Xiao Xuanchen, the man was already smiling and waving his hand to her. Zhuang Meiyan felt as if he had something to say to him, but he couldn't find any words after searching his stomach, so he had to nod to him. The smile on the corner of the man's lips in the moonlight stood long, the breeze rolled up the placket of the black robe and swayed gently, Zhuang Meiyan suddenly found that his left shoulder was broken, and there seemed to be blood oozing out, and his heart sank suddenly.

"Are you hurt?" the anxious tone surprised even herself, and the voice was so loud.

"Shhhhh

He shook his middle finger playfully, and then said with a smile: "It's just a little bit of skin, this prince has no other benefits, that is, the skin is much thicker than others, and he can't hang it." ”

"If you don't let me go, are you reluctant to let me go?" he said suddenly, looking at the other party's slightly red face, he laughed and turned to leave.

Looking at his distant back, Zhuang Meiyan suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart, and it was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and all kinds of flavors came to his heart.

Zhuang Meiyan climbed over the wall with the help of Xiao Mo and successfully entered the Zhuang Mansion, and a pair of sharp eyes in the corner of the wall silently watched her figure until she couldn't see it.

Xiao Xuanchen walked out quietly from the gloomy part of the alley, his eyes gradually dimming.

"Come out!"

His voice was low and cold, completely different from his usual cynical tone.

"Last time you almost ruined our entire plan for this woman, this time you were in danger for her, if you didn't go out alone, how could you give those killers a chance, if you didn't protect that woman wholeheartedly, how could you not even have a chance to get out?"

"It is the greatest unwisdom that you expose your weaknesses to your enemies. ”

The man stood in the shadow of the opposite corner, unable to see clearly, and could only hear that it was a woman's voice, cold and stiff, without a trace of emotion.

"So you've been following me, Miss Jerry. He had moved to her side, the darkness engulfing them bought, and only the gasps of each other could be heard.

"You're so ruthless, you can't save you when you die. "The voice was lazy, low and pleasant.

The woman flashed slightly, and now she stood in the moonlight, and Xiao Xuanchen stood in the shadows. The woman was dressed in a black tights, completely dressed as a night walker, her brows were slightly frowned, her red lips were slightly pursed, and her chest was slightly undulating.

"Wouldn't it be better for the enemy to kill your weakness! If that weakness becomes your fetters one day, I, Yeluyan, will kill her at all costs. ”

"She won't affect our plans, I can guarantee that, if you dare to move a finger from her, I, Xiao Xuanchen, will make your entire Yelu family pay the price, and I can also guarantee that. This sentence is said in no uncertain terms, and there is no room for manoeuvre.

Yeluyan tightened her lips, was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Tomorrow, the Antianmen Street in front of the post house, our goal will pass by in the morning, everything has been arranged, please Your Highness wait for the opportunity to move, and the courtier Yeluyan wishes His Highness success." ”

"I see. ”

The shadows suddenly became extremely silent, and Yeluyan knew that the man was gone. She raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, when the bright moon was there, and she had returned to the colorful clouds.

That year, he chanted poems under the moon, and everything seemed to be still vivid, so that even she didn't remember how many years had passed since that moment, she only remembered that every time she saw the bright moon in the sky, that moment was as clear as yesterday.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, their plans!

A look of pain flashed in Yeluyan's eyes.
