Jade City.

To the west of the sixth bridge on the banks of the Yudai River is an alley called Liuye Lane.

This alley is still a bustling city in Kyoto, but on this cold and snowy night, the long alley is long gone.

It's late at night.

There is even only one house in the entire street with the lights on.

It was a small courtyard at the east end of the alley.

Tianquan lives here.

Zhou Zheng also lives here.

...... for two has not yet been officially married, and according to the customs of this era, this is obviously not in accordance with the rules.

But neither of them had parents or relatives.

In the words of Tianquan, what are the children of the rivers and lakes?

Besides, even the emperor doesn't pay attention to the rules, what's the point of waiting for the small people to abide by it?

So, one night one day, Tianquan invited Zhou Zheng to come.

Just two people.

A table of dishes made by Tianquan himself, a pot of painting screen spring sent by the fourth princess Ning Chuchu-

The fourth princess secretly said that there was some medicine added to the painting screen spring!

This medicine is very good.

I didn't eat a bite of food, drank two glasses of wine, and Zhou Zheng ...... That's it!

As a matter of course, they live here.

This winter, a bed, a quilt, two people.

During the day, Zhou Zheng is training, and at night Tianquan is training Zhou Zheng, excellent!

Tianquan, who was sitting in front of the window guarding the lamp, grinned, and after a moment, there was a little worry on his face.

Zhou Zheng was summoned to the palace by Zheng Wang, the commander of the Imperial City Division, and said that it was a bit urgent-

I have some understanding of the emperor's heavenly power.

This lord is not a diligent ruler!

If it weren't for the big thing, he would definitely be in the gentle township, after all, the five acres of land around him were the time to be irrigated.

What will happen?

can make the emperor, who has always been lazy, wait in the palace late at night......

Tianquan's eyelids jumped.

Zhou is the commander of the Xuanjia Battalion, and the Xuanjia Battalion is the emperor's real descendant!

Could it be that the emperor is going to travel again?

Where is he going on this cold day?

Still in such a hurry......

Could it be that there is a situation at the border?

It must be so!

If this is the case, you should go and meet Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, many of Ning Xiushu's girls are not in Kyoto, but in Tai'an City in the south of Kyoto.

Just when Tianquan was thinking like this, Zhou Zheng walked in in a snowstorm.

Tianquan got up, Zhou Zheng held Tianquan's shoulders with both hands, and said very seriously:

"I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Tianquan was shocked: "Where are you going?" ”

“…… Confidentiality can only tell you that you are going out for a long time this time. ”

Tianquan's eyes widened suddenly.

Secrecy?

This shows that this matter is very serious and urgent, so ...... I'm afraid there will be danger.

"I'll go with you!"

"No way!"

Zhou Zheng shook his head and pinched Tianquan's shoulder, and a smile appeared on his dark face:

"Wait for me at home, don't worry, you know the combat effectiveness of the Xuanjia Battalion, and we will come back safely."

"When we come back, the emperor will officiate at the wedding for us...... I told the emperor about this, and he readily agreed. ”

Tianquan was overjoyed, but she was still very worried, because she was Ning Xiu's soldier, and she knew the dangers of the battlefield.

Raising his hand and patting the snow on Zhou Zheng's shoulder, he pursed his lips, and Tianquan looked into Zhou Zheng's eyes.

There was tenderness in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!"

"After we come back, we will officially get married, I, I will give you a few more children!"

"Good...... I have to go, you take care of yourself at home. ”

"Hmm,"

Tianquan lowered his head slightly, although he was reluctant, he knew that this was Zhou Zheng's mission.

Zhou Zheng let go of his hand and was about to turn around, when Tianquan raised his head again: "Wait! ”

She went to the dressing table in front of the window, opened a drawer, and took out a small sandalwood box from it.

Inside the box was a round jade pendant.

The jade pendant is engraved with two words - peace!

She took out the jade pendant and came to Zhou Zheng again, hung it on Zhou Zheng's neck, patted it, and the corners of her mouth curled:

"When I was old last year, I robbed with the fourth princess, and I shared some silver, so I bought this peace pendant."

"I've had a good time wearing it, and now you're wearing it...... It will bless you with a safe return. ”

Zhou Zheng's heart warmed, he held Tianquan's hand, but he didn't say a word.

He is not good at expressing himself, but at this moment he understands the meaning of home even more.

Now he has a home.

He had a wife who cared about him.

This is something he never dreamed of, and this is what he will protect for the rest of his life.

He embraced her.

moment

Let go,

Turn around

Disappeared into the night.

Tianquan stepped up and went out.

It was pitch black outside the door.

There was only howling wind, and snow rushing on your face.

……

……

Imperial City Division.

The eldest grandson, Hongyi, stood under the big banyan tree with a crooked neck.

Under the big banyan tree, there is a dead wind lantern, which sways in the wind and snow.

She touched the big banyan tree.

He bent down again and touched the dilapidated chaise longue under the big banyan tree.

Xu is because she is young, and her grandfather used to lie on this recliner often, but now that her grandfather is gone, she has never been lying on it.

I think it's the twilight of old age.

I don't think it's good to look at people.

No one tonight.

She hesitated for a moment, sat down on the chaise longue, and lay down slowly.

The recliner is cold.

The snow falling from the dense leaves of the banyan tree fell on the face, and it was also cold.

It's time to get out of here again.

Go to the distant Yanyun Pass...... I heard that it was colder than Kyoto and the snow was heavier.

I wanted to wait here for Amu to come back, but the emperor said that Amu stayed in Yue Kingdom temporarily.

She sat up, rubbed her face, and stood up again, but she still didn't feel comfortable lying like this.

I hope that when I return to Kyoto after this trip, Amu will have already returned.

This elm head!

The eldest grandson Hongyi bit his lip, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Don't let me meet you!"

"I met this girl and called you good-looking!"

"Gone!"

She looked up and around, thinking that she would have to buy a house in Kyoto when she returned.

Over here...... It's not home after all!

It was night, and the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry was brightly lit.

That night, the City Defense Division was extremely shocked to see the two teams of men and horses entering and exiting the city gate with the holy decree in hand.

This move was so unusual that it was naturally known to a very small number of people, but no one knew what was going on.

Wen Boiling Rain in the small courtyard in the backyard of Tai Academy also got the news.

He was silent for half a cup of tea, looking at Hua Manting, who had already returned, and grinned:

"This news shocks me even more than what you just said."

"This is the first astonishing decision he has made since he ascended the throne without the deliberation of the Cabinet!"

"It's the Xuanjia Battalion and the Imperial City Division's Imperial Wind Guard that is used...... Although there are not many people in these two teams, they are the real elite and the team he trusts the most. ”

"It was the latest fireworks that took away...... Gone in such a hurry...... What do you think happened? ”

The flowers were full of silence for a moment:

"If there are not many people, it is not a big battle, and the current Ningguo is not a good time to fight."

"Since he is the emperor, he can naturally make his decision, this matter...... He doesn't say you don't ask. ”

"It's the urn of Wu Xichen you said...... I remember dividing it into two, one was buried in Jianshan in Wu State, and the other was brought back by Yanji Dao, and Li Chen'an buried it in Taohua Mountain in Guangling City. ”

"Since there are two urns...... That jade plaque will definitely be found, will it still be in the urn? ”

"If it's not in the urn, then it's probably in the hands of a monk or Yan Jidao."

"I'm afraid this thing really hides the secret of the hidden door!"

Wen Boilyu thought for a while and got up: "Let's ignore it." ”

"It's late at night, you should rest early."

He turned to leave, and Hua Manting did not rest.

He drank three glasses of wine alone, got up too, blew out the candle on the table, and walked out the door.

The door was closed.

He left the small courtyard and stood at the gate of the plum garden for ten breaths, but did not knock on the door after all.

He walked into the snowstorm.

No one knows where it went.
