The rabbit roasted in the fire emitted an enticing aroma, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, Chu Zhilan broke a rabbit leg for me, and I was about to eat it, when I felt a warm gaze staring at me next to me - the rabbit leg in my hand. As soon as I turned around, I saw Bai Tingyu and the saliva on the corner of his mouth.

"Yo! Hello best friends and sisters-in-law! You guys are so interested, this scenery is beautiful, but it's too remote, let me find it easily. As he spoke, he stretched out his swollen hand, ready to take the remaining rabbit in Chu Zhilan's hand. Chu Zhilan bypassed his outstretched hand and took a big bite of rabbit meat......

I suddenly felt that the IQ of the two people around me was declining, why? And Bai Tingyu, are you singing? Change face so fast!

"I heard from my second sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was a little prejudiced against you."

"What kind of prejudice do you have against me? So don't you want to see me? ”

"Because you have a bad reputation, and you are still a woman that Qi Yucheng doesn't want, I thought you were Qi Yucheng's work for me."

"Then you can't choose not to marry?"

"No, King Li asked me to marry, I can't beat him."

"Can we be objective, why are you spilling one on me yourself?"

"You're weaker."

I pointed with a rabbit leg, "Chu Zhilan, hit him for me!" ”

Bai Tingyu immediately covered his face, took a few steps back, and shouted in fear: "Don't fight, don't hit your best friend, me, I know who hurt Princess Chaodui, can you not beat me!" ”

I paused, and in this moment, I suddenly stopped wanting to know the answer. But Chu Zhilan beside him didn't think so, he tugged at his collar and asked coldly, "Who is it?" ”

Bai Tingyu gasped and replied tremblingly: "It should be King Li." ”

The moment I heard the answer, I had mixed feelings in my heart, I should have put my mind at ease, because I didn't want Qi Yucheng to really hate me to such an extent from the bottom of my heart, but I was even more confused, it seemed that I wanted to find a reason to hate him as a matter of course. Not like now, not knowing how to deal with what he did to me.

I wondered, "Why King Li?" What is his position on doing such a thing? ”

Bai Tingyu's eyes widened, and he looked at me in disbelief and said: "King Li has the best position to do this, Ning Guo has changed hands, Qi Yucheng is not like your father, he is an iron-fisted method, and the relationship between Yunjiang and Ning Guo instantly became uncertain." The king of Yunjiang just wanted to take advantage of the fact that Ning's civil strife was not yet stable, and threatened Qi Yucheng with the stability of the border, and asked the princess of the previous dynasty to be a proton. ”

I was unwilling: "Where is the reason to let the princess of the previous dynasty be a proton?" Besides, since I am a proton, how can King Li disobey his father and kill me so easily? ”

"The northern border of Ning is divided, and the Yi tribe in the northwest is independent, but your father is helpless, the whole country is divided and precarious, Qi Yucheng usurped power in the name of saving the country and trying to survive, and purging the defeated government. But if he really killed his wife, the princess of the previous dynasty, a weak woman who was far away from the government, this already unjustifiable name would become even more unjustifiable. It's better to save your life and marry you far away for the peace of your family and country. It seems that he really has to seize power for the sake of Ning Guo, and he can clear up his relationship with you, and he can also get a good reputation. ”

I was silent because I knew he was right.

Then he lowered his head and laughed at himself: "As for why King Li wants to kill you, it is naturally because the object of friendship is not King Yunjiang nor him, but me." ”

"He wants to borrow Qi Yucheng's hand to kill me, and he also wants to use my hand to mess up Qi Yucheng's plan to stabilize the country." He glanced at me and changed his words: "No, it's not to borrow me, it's to borrow you." ”

"Qi Yucheng cares about you."

I was stunned for a long time before I slowly reacted to what he meant, and I had to sneer: "In the end, I still have such a little value for him to care about, should I be happy?" ”

Bai Tingyu wanted to speak again and again, but before he could open his mouth, he was punched in the face by Chu Zhilan, "Best friend!" I've told you everything I know, why are you still beating me! ”

Why did you hit you, because you are a fool! A sucker!

I got up and hugged Chu Zhilan from behind, he was stunned, I turned him around and hugged him in front of him, "Don't worry about this fool, Ah Lan, let's go to another place to roast rabbits and eat." ”

Chu Zhilan showed a rare stunned expression, and then nodded. This expression reminds me of the time when we were in Bailing Mountain, when he had a long beard and wore cloth clothes, and he looked like a simple and honest peasant hunter. After leaving the mountain, he seemed to be a different person, which made me think that he would finally reveal his true self, but now it seems that he is still the somewhat silly hunter in the mountain.

When we are far away, we can still hear Bai Tingyu's lost shout: "Best friend!" Don't leave me here alone, how can I get to the ancestral hall? I forgot my way back......"

I walked aimlessly in the mountains for a while and then I couldn't go any further, the sun was setting, the evening breeze was getting cooler, the mountains were quiet, but my mind could not be at peace. It's all because of the white pavilion rain, it's just ghostly! Chu Zhilan was by my side, and she always wanted to comfort me but couldn't speak.

But why shouldn't I? I just want to forget all about the past and be with him......

When I thought about it, I realized that I really couldn't help myself.

Turning around, he was still standing behind me. Now it's my turn to stop talking, and I can't speak.

"It's getting dark, come back with me."

I nodded, humming and consciously grabbing his arm. He broke free, "I haven't eaten today, and I've been walking for so long, I'm too tired to fly." I looked at him as a serious person and didn't think it was a joke, remembering that he still had a serious injury to his waist, and blamed myself, "Oh, you see that I'm used to being a lazy worm, and I didn't even think that you were still injured." I tentatively took his hand, "Then let's go back." ”

I don't know if it's my delusion, Chu Zhilan was very strange all the way, as if he wanted to say something to me, but whenever I cast an inquiring expression at him, he shifted his gaze...... Such an awkward Chu Zhilan is really rare.

I was a person who couldn't hide what was going on, and I thought I would just ask, but before I could stop talking, he quickly walked in front of me and crouched down.

"The night road in the mountains is dangerous, I'll carry you." Before I could refuse, I was already on his back.

Eldest brother! You still have a back injury, hey, and who just said that you don't have the strength!

But when my face rubbed against his black hair, I didn't want to say anything about refusal. Sinking, sinking~

I put my hand around his neck, my chin carefully tried to rest on his shoulder, and then I laughed happily, the kind that couldn't stop it, the kind that shed tears...... Chu Zhilan didn't care about me, just walked slowly, step by step, a little bumpy, but it was very comfortable, so comfortable that I was about to fall asleep.

"Qingyi." He called me softly.

"Huh?" I answered, lifting my head off his shoulder.

"I may have to leave for a while, so you can stay with Chu Yun for the time being, and I'll come back to you when I'm done." His voice was softer than it had ever been, and there was a hint of guilt and temptation. Is it because of the previous goodbye?

I put my head on his back again, "You're carrying me because you're going to tell me this?" He scoffed, "Yes, you found out." ”

"Why? Can't you talk when you're flying? Can't you talk when you walk together? ”

"Qingyi, you're angry." He laughed.

He was right, I ignored him and just leaned on his back.

"I really can't fly, let alone carry you who don't know martial arts at all." He shook me down, "It's pretty heavy." ”

"You're teasing me again, I'm biting you!" I opened my mouth and bit on his shoulder.

"You walk beside me, I look at your face, I can't speak, you are on my back, I can't see you, I can speak."

I didn't have to use it hard, but this time I really bit him on the shoulder.

"Shhh...... Qingyi, you're really angry. ”

I buried my head in his neck and rubbed, "Chu Zhilan, I seem to like you more than I imagined......"

He paused and hummed softly.

"When are you coming back?"

"I'll come back when I'm done."

"When is it done?"

"I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Will it be dangerous?"

"It's going to be a little bit."

"Can't you go then?"

"I'll make sure I'm not hurt."

"That's what it means to go?"

"How about I come back and bring you nice fur?"

The topic shifted so stiffly......

I remembered the white fox fur in the pawn shop, and it turned out that he had always known and remembered it.

"Where I went, there are very strong foxes growing and have nice fur, how about I come back and bring it to you?" I looked at Chu Zhilan and turned his face sideways to ask about my appearance, although my heart was sour, but I still endured it, nodded, and tried to pretend that I didn't care anymore: "Since that's the case, it's okay." But I don't want white fur, I want red fox fur, the fiery kind. After hearing this, Chu Zhilan laughed: "Okay, I know, the red fox fur should be the fiery one." ”

I hugged his neck tightly, leaned into his ear and said, "It's going to be autumn soon, the fur is warm in winter, and the southwest is already warm, you can't give me the fur until next spring!" ”

He reached over and patted me on the head, "I see, I'll give you the fur before winter comes." ”

I lay on his back, still uncomfortable, and reached out to the placket of his clothes, and sure enough, I found the hairpin that was broken in two. I put away the hairpin adorned with irises myself, and put the long, bare hairpin back into his coat.

"I'm going to get my hairpin back, oh, I'll leave half of it for you as a souvenir, let's go, let's go hunt a fox for me, don't think about me."

He looked down at my hand stretched out into his arms and smiled, "I see, I'll miss you." ”

……

……

"Sure enough, it's your conspiracy."

"How can the second sister-in-law say that? It should be said that it is a clever plan. Bai Tingyu carefully held the porcelain cup, took a sip comfortably, and nodded, "This tea tastes wonderful!" The mold is just right, one more day, one less day. ”

Chu Fengyu poured a bowl of tea on his head, "Hun boy! Do you know that it is because of you that we have fallen so far! She pointed to the tired girls who were standing aside, "What do you want us to do now?" ”

Bai Tingyu wiped a handful of tea on his face, and showed an aggrieved expression: "How can the second sister-in-law blame me alone, they all said that I can't help myself, Qi Yucheng, the new king of Ningguo, wrote a secret letter to me, saying that he has discovered the ambition of King Li's wolf, and wants to take the opportunity to join forces with the rebel army within Ningguo to invade Jicheng and carve up a piece of Ningguo's pie. ”

Chu Zhilan stood aside, listening as if she didn't care.

"It's a good thing for him and for me, and I naturally have no reason to refuse. Besides, sister-in-law, you still have to thank me, if it weren't for Xuan Qing telling me that you were hiding in Feng Yage, and I asked him to report to the little lover in advance, how could you get out of the way? ”

I thought of the man in Xuanyi, presumably the Xuanqing in Bai Tingyu's mouth was him.

"Is Lin Feijian also one of yours?"

Bai Tingyu looked at me in surprise, probably not expecting me to ask suddenly.

"Yes, yes."

The fist in my cuff tightened and tightened, "Is Qin Zhun also involved?" ”

He was even more surprised, "How do you know?" Not long after King Li's soldiers invaded Jicheng, he brought reinforcements to support. ”

Hehe...... Looking for a place to get away from the high halls?

I asked Chu Zhilan for his dagger, and he gave it to me without saying a word. The dagger was unsheathed, and I pointed the blade at Bai Tingyu's face, so startled that he immediately put down the tea cup in his hand, "You...... What are you doing? ”

I said word by word unhurriedly: "Bai Tingyu, how about we make a simple deal?" As long as you promise not to reveal any news about me to Qi Yucheng, our previous grievances will be written off, and I will no longer rely on your dear best friend to bully you. ”

I glanced at Chu Zhilan on the side and gave him a look, but he nodded indifferently, "Well, I heard Qingyi's words." I went on to say with satisfaction: "You remember, Xu Chaowan has died on the way to marry you, understand?" ”

The blade pointed at Bai Tingyu's throat, and I could clearly see his Adam's apple sliding from tension.

"No problem, I promise you......"

The corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise, close to his dodging gaze, "Okay, Chu Zhilan is proof." ”

"Dogs fight people ......"

I plucked out my ears and said I didn't hear it.

Chu Zhilan took the dagger in my hand, her calm gaze fell on my side face, and looked behind me, I turned my head, and Bai Tingyu's hand pouring tea couldn't stop trembling.

"Qingyi,"

"Ah, I'm so tired, today, I'm going to sleep."

I pretended not to hear what Chu Zhilan said, so I pretended to yawn and left, thinking in my heart, I am afraid that I can't take another look at that kind of look tonight.

The dilapidated wooden door couldn't hide the moonlight, and Chu Zhilan stood in the court, her eyes gradually becoming ruthless.

"Wu Mingzhi," the long sword came out of its sheath and let out a crisp trill, "you actually dare to use Wu Mingzhi." ”

The sharp sword reflecting the clear moonlight was in front of him, Bai Tingyu did not panic at all, "My best friend promised that woman, I haven't seen it for a long time, I never thought that my best friend has changed so much, can I not count the promises?" ”

"Hehe, when did I change? If I promise, I will count if I say I will count, and I will not count if I say not...... "The sword is one point closer," and "I will not count." ”

Bai Tingyu sighed, and then smiled: "It's Zifu who is stupid, when did Brother Chu change and become afraid that only I, a timid person." ”

"At first, I didn't expect it to be Wu Mingzhi, after all, it is such a rare thing." Chu Zhilan's voice gradually deepened.

"Hahaha, floating above the clouds, falling to the bottom of the abyss, diving in the realm of nightmares day and night, sinking into the pain of memories in the morning and twilight." Bai Tingyu stretched out two fingers and removed the blade of the sword, "Dear friend, this poison is now unsolvable. ”

The blade of the sword was sheathed, "What do you want?" ”

Under the moonlight, Bai Tingyu raised his head slightly, and his eyes full of smiles sank into endless darkness, "What I want is what my best friend wants." ”
