In the early morning, the sun in the north is higher and farther than in other places, as if it is falling from the sky, far away.

Under Beiliang City, two fast horses galloped out.

After a few more hours, a carriage slowly and leisurely left Beiliang City.

In the plum garden, the crown prince Xiao Jingyao ushered in an important guest. And this person is related to Yu Zhi.

A few days ago, Yu Zhi asked Xiao Jingyao to send a letter, but it was actually an object.

And the place where this object went was outside the territory of Great Chu, farther north than the northern realm - the grassland.

Today, the recipients of the steppe came in a hurry.

Xiao Jingyao pulled his thoughts back from the scene of talking with Yu Zhi a few days ago, and looked at the woman in the alien costume on the other side.

"Lord Nomin, are you here for that letter?" Xiao Jingyao looked at the two wooden bracelets, one was broken, broken in half and placed on the table, and the other was wearing Nuo Min's wrist.

Such a simple bracelet should not have appeared on the body of the dignified Prairie County Lord.

But it just appeared, and it was regarded as a treasure by Nuo Min.

After Nuo Min received the broken bracelet, he rushed to Beiliang City from the prairie non-stop.

The cooperation between Da Chu and the Wolf Court continues to deepen, in addition to the horse farm, the trade and the Fang market are also gradually stepping on the right track.

The people of Dachu got the cattle, sheep and fresh milk on the grassland, and the people of the grassland also got the grain and pottery of Dachu, which was mutually beneficial, and it was the way to survive and prosper.

All of this is the credit of Xiao Jingyao and Nuo Min.

The two have seen each other a lot, and they often talk about business.

Xiao Jingyao had never seen such an anxious and flustered Nuo Min in front of him.

Where did the former calm and unfazed Nomin go?

Nomin admitted, and said, "Tell Your Highness who the letter writer is?" ”

Xiao Jingyao smiled, but he was playing a dumb riddle. "This palace has never seen the county lord so gaffe? Can the county lord tell me how this person is related to the county lord? ”

Nuo Min looked at Xiao Jingyao, his rational eyes were as wild as a wolf cub on the grassland.

Yan Zimu stepped forward slightly and stood beside Xiao Jingyao.

After a moment of silence, Nomin withdrew his gaze and looked at the broken bracelet, and the wildness also turned to tenderness.

"He... He was my savior. ”

......

......

In the mountain road, Yu Zhi and Yan Yi rode horses, just the two of them.

It has been half a day since he left Beiliang City, and Yan Yi looked at Yu Zhi from time to time along the way, with a lot of confusion in his eyes.

Finally, Yu Zhi grabbed the reins and said, "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

Yan Yi also stopped the steed, and his spirit was flying, although he was puzzled, but now the two of them walked together to make Yan Yi very happy.

"Didn't you say that I should protect you, Miss Tong'er, why did you regret it?"

Yu Zhi picked a branch and leaf on a branch and said, "Let me think about it carefully, Qinghuan is more reliable than you." It's better to let him keep Tong'er safe. ”

"Oh." Yan Yi responded, she must not believe Yu Zhi's clumsy excuse. "Aren't you afraid that I will run away and kill your Tong'er?"

Yu Zhi snorted boredly and said, "You are not such a person. ”

"Hmph. You don't know me! Yan Yi said.

The two were silent for a while, and then listened to Yan Yi say: "Your family Tong'er is relieved that you are walking alone with me?" A graceful and peerless woman like me, in case she snatches you away. Isn't she worried? ”

The woman in Tsing Yi was fiddling with a small yellow flower in her hand, and said intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Zhi said with a smile: "The graceful and elegant are peerless, but I can't see it, but the madness is extremely compatible with you." ”

"Looking for a fight!" Yan Yi raised his hand and waved, and the small yellow flower in his hand flew out, and the petals bloomed on Yu Zhi's face.

Yu Zhi wiped his face and said indifferently: "Tong'er said, you like me." ”

Yan Yi was stunned, her expression was blank, and she said in her heart: How can she see it? Am I manifesting myself?

Yu Zhi didn't speak again, as if waiting for Yan Yi to speak.

I've been pinched by you every time, and this time I should be proud once.

Yan Yi couldn't help but continue to ask, "And then?" What do you say? ”

Yan Yi didn't have any embarrassment, she just wanted to know Yu Zhi's answer in her heart. That night at the inn, she was drunk, but she wasn't drunk at all.

The hazy drunken spit out the truth with half a point of drunkenness, and the other half of the homeopathy.

Yan Yi knew that Yu Zhi heard it, but Yu Zhi didn't know that Yan Yi pretended to be drunk, but in fact, he confided his thoughts through drunkenness.

"I said..."Yu Zhi turned his back to Yan Yi with a cunning gaze. I said, I'm so good, popular with thousands of girls, it's reasonable to have one more Yan Yi! ”

Yan Yi took a sip and scolded: "Stinky man, it's really shameless!" ”

The two talked and laughed all the way, and even walked towards Kyoto like a tour.

As everyone knows, this figure in the dark is following the two of them.

......

"I see." Xiao Jingyao listened to Nuo Min's narration and suddenly realized.

"At the beginning, he led away the wolves, and then disappeared, leaving only this bracelet." Nomin touched the wooden bracelet on his wrist, and his eyes fell on the bracelet on the table that had been broken in half. "I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect to see him again."

Immediately, Nuo Min looked at Xiao Jingyao and said, "The letter did not state his identity, but just asked me to find His Highness." Now, can His Highness reveal his identity? ”

Xiao Jingyao smiled and said, "This person... The county lord should know. When he was in Kyoto, the county lord also admired this person. His name is Yu Zhi, does the county lord still have an impression? ”

Nuo Min stared at the broken bracelet in disbelief, his pupils twitching, and muttered, "Yu Zhi? ”

She never imagined that her childhood lifesaver was Yu Zhi.

Perhaps when he was in Kyoto, Yu Zhi already recognized himself, otherwise he would have asked Xiao Jingyao to send letters and bracelets.

Only Xiao Jingyao can send letters to the county lord's mansion, and if he is someone else, he will definitely be turned away.

Nomin said excitedly, "Since he recognized me, why didn't he recognize me in Kyoto?" I've been looking for him for years, but I haven't found him before I think he's dead. ”

Xiao Jingyao was not surprised, this was Yu Zhi's temperament.

"Yu Zhi is a casual person who does not want to deal with mundane things. At that time, Da Chu and the Wolf Court were negotiating, perhaps because he didn't want to get involved in bigger trouble and arouse suspicion, so he chose to remain silent. ”

Hearing Xiao Jingyao's explanation, Nuo Min couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he recalled what Yu Zhi had done in Kyoto.

He was right in front of me, but I didn't recognize him.

"Your Highness, as the letter says, Yu knows that you need my help. What kind of trouble did he have? ”

Xiao Jingyao hadn't read the letter, and when he heard Nuo Min say this, he smiled bitterly: "He would rather ask the county lord for help than ask me for help." It's made up my mind that I don't want to be involved. ”

"I have to say, this guy is really alone."

Xiao Jingyao's lament did not interest Nuo.

Nomin interrupted, "Your Highness, please get to the point. ”

Xiao Jingyao was a little depressed, how could these people be like this, and they didn't take me, the prince, in their eyes at all.

Xiao Jingyao said: "Someone wants to kill Yu Zhi. ”

Nuo Min frowned, and said murderously, "Who is it?" ”

Xiao Jingyao shook his head and sighed. "When I came to the north, I was walking with Yu Zhi, and I was assassinated by a killer on the way. These are killers with many lives on their backs. The main palace once asked people to investigate secretly, but they couldn't find the person behind the scenes. The person behind this is mysterious. ”

Nuo Min said indifferently: "We people on the grassland will repay our kindness. No matter who this person is, whoever wants to kill Yu Zhi is the enemy of my wolf court. ”

Xiao Jingyao was very surprised that Nuo Min was willing to let the entire Steppe Wolf Court become Yu Zhi's backing.

Nuo Min continued to ask, "Your Highness, where is Yu Zhi now?" ”

"Half a day ago, I have already set off for Beijing."

"He sent me a message, but he didn't wait for me to help. Why is that? ”

"I'm afraid what Yu Zhi wants the county lord to do is not to escort him back to Beijing." Xiao Jingyao said.

A few days ago, Xiao Jingyao asked Yu Zhi if this letter was the key to saving his life.

Yu Zhi just shook his head indifferently, this favor is not used here.

After coming back to his senses, Xiao Jingyao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Nuo Min. "This is the second letter Yu Zhi left behind."

Nuo Min glanced at Xiao Jingyao suspiciously, and then listened to Xiao Jingyao explain: "The only thing that is gratified by this palace is that Yu Zhi handed over this letter to this palace, or does he believe in this palace. ”

Nomin took the letter and said, "I also believe that His Highness has not read the letter. ”

Xiao Jingyao looked at Nuo Min, and the eyes of the two met in the air, on one side was the imperial majesty of the prince of the East Palace, and on the other side was the feminine spirit of galloping the grassland, and they did not let it go at all.

Nuo Min did not shy away from it, and read the letter in front of Xiao Jingyao.

Nuo Min's expression did not change, so that Xiao Jingyao could not see the slightest other emotion.

Xiao Jingyao asked frankly: "The county lord is willing to show the letter to the palace." ”

Nuo Min suddenly smiled, this smile was inexplicable. "Your Highness really wants to read the letter?"

Xiao Jingyao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

This is Xiao Jingyao's bearing. He didn't have to oppress people as a prince, Yu Zhi gave him a letter and asked him to hand it over to Nuo Min.

That's what Xiao Jingyao did.

He hadn't read the letter, but waited to ask Nomin if he could read it today.

If Nomin refuses, then if you don't look at it, you won't look at it.

Nuo Min smiled again, this playful smile made Xiao Jingyao very puzzled.

"Give!" Nomin handed over the letter, "Your Highness has a look, and I will take my leave first." ”

Nuo Min left, and Xiao Jingyao's mind had completely fallen on the letter in his hand.

The handwriting is not sloppy, and the writing is casual and eclectic.

This is Yu Zhi's style.

There was not much written in the letter, but the content surprised Xiao Jingyao.

The heavy expression lasted until Xiao Jingyao finished reading the letter, until the last sentence of the letter.

Xiao Jingyao couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said in his heart: This Yu Zhi is really boring, he set a trap, waiting for me to drill into it.

I saw that the last line of the letter was written - if Xiao Jingyao wants to read it, show it to him. Thinking about him, he has been anxious these days.
