Apohan seemed to understand a little, but he couldn't react a little.

Helian Du continued: "Even if this king does not hand over the golden seal today, my father will not let me go back to the frontier. It's a pity that he shouldn't have done it, after destroying all the people who are important to this king, he will also send me to the frontier and let this king be in charge of the wolf king's army for more than 20 years, which will be the most wrong decision he has ever made in his life! ”

"Your Highness...... What are you talking about? Why are we getting more and more incomprehensible? Apohan asked, looking at Helian Du suspiciously.

Apohan is also the orphan of Kreti, and it stands to reason that Helian should tell him everything, but according to his nature, if he knows the truth, he will definitely fight to the death with the enemy, and then it will be unfavorable to the plan.

Helian suppressed his anger and prevaricated in a few words, Apohan nodded as if he didn't understand, but ......

"But in this way, you stay in the royal capital by yourself, and you don't even have a cronies by your side, no, we don't worry, we want to stay with you!"

"Nonsense!!"

Helian Duel's big hand slapped on the table, and his strength almost shook the teacup over, "This king can't go back, you won't go back, what should the wolf king army do, will it all be handed over to King Rui?!" ”

"This ......" Apohan was in trouble, but after a little thought, he accepted the facts.

Apohan knew in his heart, but no matter how he thought about it, it was not a taste, and now it is better to say, His Royal Highness is an idle prince, and if it is not good, the king has imprisoned His Highness.

Apohan was very aggrieved in his heart, his brows were about to twist into twists, and he said quickly: "His Royal Highness has brought his brothers countless births and deaths in exchange for today's unification of the eight cities, what if ...... If the king's final decision really chills everyone's hearts, let's bring the wolf king's army to his old man's house to ask for an explanation! ”

Helian definitely understood Apohan's feelings, compared to the man in the royal city, Apohan, who he had followed since he was six years old, and the soldiers who guarded the frontier, were more like his relatives.

Helian duel patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Ha...... The Wolf King's Army...... I bothered my little uncle. ”

"You've been with the little city lord for a long time, and you're being hypocritical."

Apohan pretended not to care and took a sip of tea, but his eyes were red because of Helian Duel's rare "little uncle".

"By the way, Your Highness, I don't know when we will see you again, when you and the little city lord are happy, don't forget to order someone to go to the frontier to send a few jars of wedding wine, and our brothers will also be happy."

Helian Jue's expression froze, "When did I say I was going to marry her?" ”

"You can pull it down, others don't understand you, I don't know you yet!" Apohan sat down on a wooden chair, took the wine gourd from his waist, and poured a sip of wine.

"The little city lord is a good woman, kind-hearted and smart, don't always bully her, she is weak and weak, it's not that you are uncomfortable. And also...... In the past, we did a great job, I knew it was like this, even if I didn't leave her brother and sister alive, I would leave a whole corpse, and if I couldn't mention these things in the future, don't talk to her...... In the future, you treat her well, people's hearts are long, and after a long time, maybe the little city lord will live with you sincerely. ”

Helian didn't speak, he gently stroked the teacup in his hand with his fingertips, and said for a long time: "You stand down first, I'm a little tired." ”

"Okay, think about it yourself, let's go first."

Apohan breathed a long sigh of relief when he came out of the study, he didn't understand, how could His Highness, who was so wise and martial on the battlefield, be so awkward in his relationship?

It is clear that there is a small city lord in his heart, but he stubbornly refuses to admit it, he hangs in front of His Highness's eyes all day long, and he is tired of His Highness.

Forget it, everyone has their own life, and he can't control so much, Apohan took another sip of wine, shook his tall body and disappeared into the night.

From time to time, the old healer carried a lantern outside the study, and when he had been allowed to enter the study, Helian asked when he saw him, "How is the matter going?" ”

The old man replied after saluting: "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave has re-prescribed the prescription, Miss Si is weak, and she should have used cold medicine such as musk safflower before, but as long as she is carefully conditioned, she can still have children, but it is just ......"

"Just what?"

When the words came to his mouth, although he had doubts, the old man was not sure, and he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly said: "The slave will try his best to do the things that His Highness has explained." ”

"That'll be fine." Helian's worry in his determination was reduced a little, and he repeatedly told the old man: "Don't be discovered by her." ”

"Yes, Your Highness is relieved to be ......"

Since the heavy snow half a month ago, the sky has been completely cold, although there has been no snow again, but the wind of the cold winter is not a joke, especially the mountain wind, a light blow is cold and biting, and the night is even more unbearable cold.

Bai Yu has long been accustomed to sleeping in the open, but Ah Kui is different.

He looked at the girl lying by the campfire, her whole body shrunk in the woolen blanket to protect herself from the cold, but she was still shivering with cold.

Bai Yu couldn't bear it, Ah Kui was a weak woman, lacking food and clothing in extremely cold weather, and she had to rush with him during the day, if she continued like this, her body would not be able to bear it sooner or later.

But if you go to the town, I'm afraid that your face will cause trouble......

Bai Yu was hesitating, a cold wind blew, Ah Kui's long eyelashes trembled slightly, she couldn't sleep well, and when she opened her sour eyes, she found that Bai Yu was looking at her.

The little face that was red from the wind smiled, and she didn't know whether it was cold or shy, and then she hid her whole face in the blanket.

Alas...... That's it, Bai Yu also closed his eyes, thinking that he should be careful when walking, and when he arrived at the boundary of Zelu City in a few days, the wind would not be so cold, he made up his mind, and woke up Ah Kui at dawn and took her down the mountain.

This is a small border town in Xiaolan, the same as Ah Kui's hometown, because the location is too remote, but it has not been affected by the war.

Just now the New Year is approaching, people are out to buy New Year's goods, the small shops on the side of the road are busy, the houses on both sides are full of red lanterns, a few naughty children are holding red and bright sugar gourds everywhere, and there is a joyful scene in sight.

Ah Kui likes to be lively, she is very happy when she gets off the mountain, and Bai Yu also bought her a freshly baked pumpkin crisp.

Although the town is many times better than the mountain, and Ah Kui is also having a good time, she didn't forget to gesture and ask: "Brother Baiyu, we still have the dry food we bought last time, why do you want to go down the mountain?" ”

At this time, Bai Yu was wearing a hat, and his face was covered tightly by the black gauze on the hat, Ah Kui couldn't see his expression clearly, and only heard him say: "The mountain road is too slow, let's go buy a horse later, and in less than half a month, we will be able to rush to Ganquan City." ”

"Hmm!"

Ah Kui naturally did not have any objections to Bai Yu's decision, they inquired in many ways in the city, and only then did they pick a satisfactory horse in the horse farm on the outskirts of the city, and after these things were done, it was not too early, but fortunately, the owner of the horse farm pointed out the direction to the two, and they rushed to the inn before the sun set.

But this inn is really strange, not only built in a deserted place on the outskirts of the city, but also has a lingering strange smell inside.

And it was so quiet here, Bai Yu glanced around, except for him and Ah Kui, there seemed to be no other guests in this huge inn.

"Guest, your key, Guest...... Sir? ”

The shopkeeper leaned in front of Bai Yu with a big face, he smiled flatteringly, and his facial features were tightly squeezed together, looking very weird.

"Huh? Good. ”

Bai Yu came back to his senses and took the key, he always felt that this place was not quite right, but he couldn't say the specifics, after instructing Xiao Er to send the food to the room, he took Ah Kui upstairs to rest.

In the spacious room, Bai Yu took off his hat and put it on the table, he sat half-leaning in front of the bed, one leg bent, kicking the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees, and the fingers supporting his chin were pointed down on the side of his face, as if thinking about something.

Ah Kui saw that he looked tired, so he put away his hat, picked up the wooden basin in the house and was about to go out, Bai Yu stopped her and asked, "Ah Kui, where are you going?" ”

"Brother Baiyu, it's been too hard these days, I'll go boil some hot water and soak your feet."

Bai Yu always felt uneasy in his heart, he got up and took the wooden basin, pressed Ah Kui to sit on the round stool, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's too cold outside, let the shopkeeper send it over later." ”

"Hmm."

Ah Kui sat obediently at the table, she found the book that the two of them picked up when they borrowed it in the broken temple, it was a book of "Chu Ci", it was very difficult to read, fortunately, Bai Yu often taught Ah Kui to read and read in her spare time, and after a long time, she could also read one or two articles.

But looking at it, Ah Kui encountered a word she didn't know, she leaned over with a book, pointed to a word, and nodded, meaning to let Bai Yu teach her.

"Let me see...... Well, it's a 'Yue Ren Song'......"

This poem Bai Yu is very familiar, and this should be the most familiar poem he has memorized so far.

He remembered that when he was a child, when Taifu taught this class, he felt bored, so he sneaked out of the back door, just wanted to take a slingshot to shoot birds, who wanted to be hit by his father, and the result was of course a scolding, and a full 200 times of punishment.

It was also from that time that he not only memorized the rolling melons of this poem, but even the rotten words that crawled like caterpillars on his hands, and he could practice them a little better.

"Hah...... You're asking the right person. ”

Bai Yu laughed, he pointed to the book, and read it word by word in a hoarse voice, Ah Kui learned to read it, and asked him with a gesture: "Brother Bai Yu, what does this poem mean?" ”

This poem was sung by a boatman to a prince who crossed the river in a boat, and it should have been ...... It's a love poem, 'The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, and you don't know', there are trees in the mountains, there are branches in the trees, I love you, but you don't know. ”

Bai Yu's straightforward translation made Ah Kui blush, but she felt strange in her heart, and couldn't help but ask Bai Yu again: "But the boatman is a man, isn't the prince also a man?" ”

Bai Yu was not surprised, "Maybe the world thinks this kind of feeling is weird, but when my aunt explained this poem to me, she said that people can't choose who they will fall in love with, that person may be a man or a woman, maybe not accepted by the world, but so what, life is short, and the company of your beloved will not waste time, as for what others love to say, let him say it." ”
