Long nights, no one sleeps.

The convoy with the splendid logo walked slowly on the muddy snow road after leaving Qingyun City, fortunately, the official road was quite wide and flat, and there was no pause along the way, but there were a few more unfamiliar faces in the convoy, Su Qin and Mu Ye, who were wearing coarse linen clothes, were driving a carriage, and behind them was Gongsun Cuo, who was slightly pale because of his injury, and Gu Luoshui, who was dressed in a deep coat of Zhu Zi, and Qian Duoduo had a carriage, as for Qi Luoge, wearing a hat and a short jacket and long skirt, he sat quietly on the wooden box behind Su Qin's carriage.

Looking back at Qi Luoge, who was sitting motionless on the wooden box, Su Qin shook his head slightly, feeling that the hand holding the reins of the horse was a little numb, Su Qin's hands rubbed each other a few times, and then put his hands to his mouth and blew a few mouthfuls of hot air, after doing this, Su Qin stretched out his hand to his waist, there was a cowhide bag, which contained Nuan Nuan's daughter Hong, and drank two sips, Su Qin spit out a few breaths of cool air, turned his head and glanced at the surrounding environment, there are two rows of dwarf shrubs planted on both sides of the official road, and the distant peaks cannot be seen, the further south, the flatter the terrain of Yanguo.

Su Qin, who has been out of the mountains a few times, but is only limited to staying in Qingyun City, doesn't know what kind of bumps the road ahead will be, at this moment he is thinking more about what happened during this time, it seems that since he began to enter the Heavenly Forbidden, his life has been completely disrupted, the change of identity, the death of the wizard, participating in the war in Qingyun City, bad news has come one after another, and I still don't know how Mu Hayu has lived- Thinking of not hating jade, Su Qin smiled bitterly, the Yao clan's wood spirit bead was still on his body, and the necklace that the wizard said he wanted to keep well.

The wizard once said that Su Qin should go to Guangqi City to find a blacksmith named Yan Shoucheng, so when Aunt Sun said that this batch of splendid embroideries would be sent to Guangqi City, Su Qin decided to go to Guangqi City first, and Qi Luoge would also go to Guangqi City, and Gongsun Cuo and Gu Luoshui would go to Lihuo City, the capital of Yan Kingdom.

If it goes smoothly from Qingyun City to Guangqi City, it will take about ten days, during this time, Su Qin decided to think about his way out, the tribe can't go back for the time being, listen to Aunt Sun's analysis of the situation, and know that the conquest of the Mang Kingdom and the tribal tribes against the Yan Country will also come to an end, and he will live in the Yan Country in the future? Unfamiliar with life and unacquainted, Su Qin felt a little melancholy in his heart, and glanced back, Su Qin clenched his fists, he didn't know what to see, he just felt that when he saw Mu Hatyu again in the future, he couldn't be as embarrassed as now.

"Give me some wine. Qi Luoge's voice came from behind him.

"Just warm up, don't drink too much. Su Qin smiled and handed over the cowhide bag in his hand.

The convoy has been on the road for two hours, and there is still a period of time before dawn, according to Qian Duoduo, there is still a daytime in Qijing City, and it will rest for a night in Qijing City, and then it will continue to go south.

"What are you going to do when you get to Guangqi City?" The silent night was too boring, Su Qin looked at the torches tied to the carriage on the side, and looked back at Qi Luoge, who had drunk the wine and his face was a little crimson, and said.

"Let's find a place to stay. Qi Luoge's words made Su Qin a little unsure of how to interface, isn't what Qi Luoge said nonsense, can you still sleep on the street if you don't find a place to live in Guangqi City?

Su Qin hummed softly, and then replied, so he stopped talking, and Qi Luoge just frowned slightly and looked at the night, only the sound of the wheels creaking, and occasionally a few horse neighings.

"Childe, will we go back to the tribe in the future?" Muye turned his head to look at Su Qin at this time, with a sad expression.

"Will come back. Su Qin looked at Mu Ye and nodded affirmatively, "I still want to watch you and Xiaoqing get married." ”

"Xiaoqing...... I don't know if you miss me. After Makino finished speaking, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, a little embarrassed.

"Don't think about it so much, didn't you listen to what the eldest lady said, the tribe also moved back to Yanguo, and when the time comes, let's sneak back and pick up Xiaoqing. ”

Muye snorted, and asked Su Qin rhetorically, "Son, what are you and the fifth princess going to do?"

Su Qin smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and didn't say anything.

Su Qin wanted to marry Mu Hayu, and he promised her, even if he had tried all the hardships.

Flowers are in full bloom, and you know what kind of worries and horrors are hidden under the flowers.

After thanking the floating life, have you ever seen through the thoughtfulness hidden under the fragments of red?

Today's prosperous chapter can't erase the shallow Shaoguang, and how many fiery bones will be stepped on step by step.

The innocence of the past has taken away the ignorance and the smile is only for who is burning on the top of the dream.

"Give me some time. Su Qin turned his head to look at Makino and sighed lightly.

Time is green and quiet.

Wordlessly, the wind and dust rolled.

――――

――――

Yanguo, a house in the east city of Huocheng, the cool breeze blew into the somewhat broken windows, and the candlelight in the house was a little swaying.

The facilities in the wooden house are very simple, there is a wooden table and two short chairs in the small hall, and there are several paintings and calligraphy covered with dust and cobwebs hanging on the wall.

The owner of the house is very famous in the slums on this side of Dongcheng - named Liu Yi, thirty-eight years old, alone, is a poor teacher who teaches private schools, there is nothing strange about this identity, the strange thing is that he used ninety percent of his meager income to buy books, and he did not take the test to gain fame, his life was extremely boring, teaching, reading, sleeping, and a brocade coat all year round, many people could not understand what he was living for.

Isn't it true that the scholar is honored with the title of the gold list? Could it be that if you keep this room of books for a lifetime, you will be able to have a golden house of Yan Ruyu?

And Liu Yi's personality quirks, that is, the neighbors walked on the road and met him to say hello, Liu Yi also looked like he was ignorant of it, and gradually everyone alienated him, except when he was in the private school, Liu Yi would dress up, and now the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the students are on vacation, Liu Yi doesn't care about the appearance, and now it looks a little unkempt and unkempt.

No one knew that Liu Yi was the champion of the Yanguo imperial examination twenty years ago, let alone why he wanted to live here.

At this moment, Liu Yi is holding a copy of "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" in his hand and looking at it quietly, although "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" is incisive, but in Liu Yi's opinion, what others write is not his own after all, "When you meet, look up to each other, and the market is against Lu Yan." Reading this, Liu Yi silently recited twice in her heart, turned around and picked up the scissors on the side, and gently cut off the wick of the candle that had dried up, the light in the room dimmed, the cold air was slightly cool, and she closed the book, Liu Yi stood up and moved the candle to the side of the table, got up and pushed open the window, looking at the snowy night outside.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Liu Yi frowned, who else would knock on the door at this time?

"Third brother, it's me. Hearing this voice, Liu Yi's brows furrowed even more, but she didn't hesitate, first closed the window, and then turned around to open the door.

The person who came was in his thirties, but he was a few points taller than Liu Yi, and he was much burlier, holding a few boxes of snacks and a grass carp in his hand, and when he saw Liu Yi open the door, the person who came came to say in a low voice, "Third brother, my brother has come to pay you a New Year's greeting." ”

Looking at Chen Jun in brocade clothes, Liu Yi smiled slightly, let Chen Jun into the house, stretched out his head to look outside the house, and saw that no one was coming, so he reflexively closed the wooden door.

"Why did you remember that the third watch came to me in the middle of the night?" Liu Yi reached out and picked up the snacks on the table after speaking, and found that there were some shortbread fruits inside.

"Qingyun City is broken, and there is no news from the eldest brother. Chen Jun said straight to the point.

"Qingyun City is broken sooner or later. Hearing Chen Jun's words, Liu Yi paused slightly, tasted the shortbread fruit sent by Chen Jun, and then said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "I'm afraid I forgot about it over there, big brother." ”

"I shouldn't forget, it's been so many years, every month on the 10th of the big brother will fly the pigeon to ask about the recent situation of the brothers, there has been no mistake, you see today is the 17th, but I didn't receive any message from the eldest brother, I wonder if something happened to the eldest brother, so I came to you to ask. After Chen Jun finished speaking, he got up and picked up the teapot next to the leg of the table, put the porcelain bowl on the teapot on the table and got a cup of hot tea, held it with both hands and took a sip.

"What about the second brother, there is no news?" Liu Yi said as she looked at the books on his desk, and gently patted the dust on the table with her hand.

"The second brother has been in contact with the seventh brother over there, I have already asked the seventh brother, and I haven't replied yet, it's too tiring to wait like this, I'll talk to you about it, should we send someone to find it?"

"How do you find it?" Liu Yi smiled bitterly, lowered her head and thought about something, and after a while, she raised her head and glanced at Chen Jun and said, "The son has been following the eldest brother all these years, and now the son is there except for the eldest brother, only the second brother knows, although we know that they are in the north, but going to find it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention, it may also be targeted by those eagles and dogs in the imperial court." ”

"Why don't you look for the eldest mother?" Chen Jun remembered something, looked up at Liu Yi and said, "The eldest lady has been mixing well over the years, it's really not good, don't disturb so many people, I'll go for it myself." ”

"With your current status, how can you walk around at will?" Liu Yi shook his head, "I'm waiting for three days, if there is no news from the eldest brother and the second brother, let's discuss it." ”

"Alas, third brother, you can calm down?" Chen Jun said and drank a cup of hot tea, "If you want me to say that the eldest brother should have told us where the son is now, even if something happens, we can take care of it, otherwise we won't be as passive as now." ”

"The more people who know, the more unsafe Childe becomes. Liu Yi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, you know the ability of the eldest brother, so we don't need to say anything more here." ”

Just then, the whining of a wild dog was heard outside.

Liu Yi blew out the candle one by one, listened intently to the outside of the house, and then whispered that it was the seventh child.

"Third brother, the eldest brother is dead. When someone came into the house, there was no superfluous nonsense, and his voice was mixed with grief and indignation.

When Chen Jun, who was in the dark, heard the news, the hand holding the tea bowl shook slightly, and he actually spilled half a bowl of tea.
