Chapter 16: First Acquaintance

The spring breeze blows Revlon.

The mountains are empty, and the railings are all over.

The warm spring breeze, like a clear stream, slowly blows from the sky, brushes the beautiful faces, and the corners of the men's fluttering clothes; The wind, silently, blows a pool of spring water, rippling layers of beautiful ripples, and the sunlight is sprinkled on the wide river, reflecting the graceful shadow of a woman.

"Wan'er, look, there's a handsome Lang Jun over there looking at you!"

It is also Li Yan, a girl in the mood for love, who is standing beside Xie Wanxin at this moment, she is comfortably holding the club, gently pulling Xie Wanxin's embroidered rose robe, with a faint smile under her lips, pointing to a white dress under the flower tree, and curling her mouth.

Almost at the same moment, the clear eyes of the girls gradually moved to the flower tree in the distance with the direction pointed by Li Yan, and they were also very curious about what kind of man with outstanding demeanor could make Miss Ayan, who has always been dignified, lose her temper in front of the public, without the reserve and subtlety of the past.

Which girl doesn't have spring. What's more, today is the Shangsi Festival, and many little girls in the prince's mansion in the capital gather on both sides of the Yudai River on this day, come here to enjoy the spring, and have fun in the outing; And those girls who are in the prime of their youth, in addition to Xie Wanxin, there are Li Yan, the third daughter-in-law of Sikong Mansion, Ling Zhilan, the only daughter of Ling Tao, the Duke of Xuanguo, and Ming Yurou, the sixth girl of Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion...... These girls, all of whom are noble-born, talented and good-looking, are placed in the prosperous Shangjing City, and each of them is enough to make the children in Beijing crazy.

For these noble ladies of the wealthy family who have just begun to fall in love, the Shangsi Festival on March 3 is their world, and the sprout of girl's love, and even the desire for love in the world, will also be unprecedentedly satisfied and released on this day; Because of this, as soon as Li Yan's words came out, almost everyone's eyes were invariably attracted, and they all wanted to see the young man's graceful demeanor to satisfy their visual comfort and enjoyment.

"Ayan, what are you talking nonsense here, I think you want a man." Xie Wanxin didn't look back, still holding the club gently, and posed an elegant posture of wanting to hit the ball again, but her voice was full of the hazy feeling that a girl should have.

Seeing that Wan'er didn't care at all, Li Yan was obviously a little anxious, "Really! I didn't lie to you, I don't believe you see it for yourself. ”

"Miss, Miss Yan is right, there are really people over there." Even Xie Wanxin's personal maid Mingyu tugged at her tassel long sleeves, as if some noble person had arrived.

"I can't help it."

Unable to stand Li Yan and Mingyu's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Xie Wanxin shook her head helplessly, and then put down the club in her hand and slowly looked back.

The beauty looked back and glanced at it.

When Xie Wan's heart looked back softly, the spring breeze came, slightly brushing her beautiful cheeks, accompanied by a moist warm breeze, floating in front of her, a strand of black and bright hair, like a waterfall, along Xie Wan's pretty shoulders, gently flowing out, wisps, all exuding the noble atmosphere of a mature woman.

Her moist skin is better than snow, fair and flawless, with affectionate eyes, like a clear spring, faintly visible sparkling water, outlining a charming elegance; The bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, and slender eyelashes are more and more embellished with the elegant makeup marks on her world-class face, and on the thin red lips, a touch of red is being depicted, like the petals of peach blossoms, delicate and delicate, with buds waiting to be released......

The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. When the beautiful woman looks forward to it, she has a gentle and clear beauty, which makes people obsessed with it and ecstatic for it, and she does not dare to have the slightest blasphemy; It's just that this is as bright as a flower, but it is so beautiful that it is incomprehensible, showing the delicate and agile girl's attitude, which not only makes people dream, but also like a holy water lily, which is clean and dusty, and can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

Perhaps, many people's hearts are haunted by the same question, God, what kind of tricks do you have to create such a perfect body, and to make the woman in front of you so beautiful and moving, I feel pity; Just one glance can hook the souls of many disciples, so that they can only watch and watch, but they can never stand in front of her.

Xie Wanxin turned around, slowly raised her head, followed everyone's gaze, and looked at the flower tree in the distance; However, when she stared at the past, those eyes, which were originally very beautiful, were suddenly misty, and her eyes were full of surprise. The white-clothed figure reflected in the depths of her pupils, and in front of her eyes, a man's tall and majestic posture appeared.

What kind of strange man is that, and what kind of picture is that?

White, horses, swords.

In Xie Wanxin's clear vision, the man in the distance, dressed in white, riding a horse and fighting a sword, has a face like a crown of jade, upright facial features, a straight nose, handsome sword eyebrows, a clear expression, and a majestic figure, with innate perseverance and ease; At this moment, he sat straight on the horse, dressed in a slightly tight white robe, attached to his body, showing the strong and powerful figure of this handsome man at a glance, and the pair of noble and deep eyes that were born with a noble and deep look were also flashing with confidence at this time, and under his thin and moderate lips, unconsciously, a smile like the warm sun of the rising sun appeared. It seems that this warm smile is the best response to Xie Wanxin's bright eyes, and in addition, it is that handsome appearance.

At this moment, a breeze blew, and the black hair on the cheeks of the man in white fluttered casually under the blowing of the spring breeze, and the white clothes on his body also turned into a roll of silver-white waves on the sea in the soft wind, as if he could jump thousands of feet at any time, set off stormy waves, and swallowed up the beach by the sea, and there was no one left.

Objectively speaking, his facial features are three-dimensional, and his expression is handsome; If you look closely, the emotional changes of the young man in white inch by inch are set off on his well-defined face, coupled with the smile under his lips, and his indifferent demeanor, as if he has been carefully carved by a knife, which not only highlights the wildness of the immediate battle, but also fills with a kind of uninhibited chic, the heroism of the iron-blooded general and the nobility of the son of the family, just like the two heavens of ice and fire, are extremely well presented in the eyes of this sixteen-year-old boy.

The warm wind passed by the white-clothed young man, blew in his ears, blew on his face, and rolled up the corners of the man's white clothes; Perhaps, because of the strong spring breeze of ten miles, his smile that was originally full of spring is now more and more intense after being moistened by the wind; Who would have thought that the handsome and beautiful young man in front of him, who looked as warm as jade, was dressed in white, and had a thick smile on the corner of his mouth, was the young general who once personally led seven hundred horsemen to go deep into the desert, chase and kill the Rouran barbarians for thousands of miles, and played a famous young general.

The man's elegant look, bright starry eyes, and proud bearing really fascinated Xie Wanxin, who was only fifteen years old at the time; Xie Wanxin's eyes were already hazy and intoxicated, she looked at the man's heroic figure obsessively, her pupils were sinking deeper and deeper, her original clear gaze, at this moment, seemed to have run to him in white, chasing his figure, dancing between heaven and earth, in the eyes of the girl, for the first time there was a spark of love.

Is that person his own young man? This is the first time Xie Wanxin has been attracted to a man in her life, the first time she has been moved by a man, and the first time that her heart has been beating faster because of the appearance of a man, and the blazing fire of love in her heart is also burning more and more because of him; In the past, she had never lost her mind as she did today, and she never thought that one day, her young man would ride a horse and ride colorful auspicious clouds to her one day in the future, when she was fifteen years old......

In the distance, Xiao Changling rode on a horse, standing quietly under the flower tree, without saying a word; And the "Sa Lu Purple" proudly held its head high, snorted from time to time, gently kicked its hind hooves, and raised a little dust; On that wild and resolute face, the feeling of breeze and moon became more and more obvious, and his gaze gradually condensed into a pool of blue waves, engraved the girl's face and posture in his black and white pupils.

In fact, as early as the moment Xie Wanxin looked back and turned around, Xiao Changling's affectionate eyes had already fallen on her uncontrollably; He saw from afar that when the woman turned sideways, her slender and light body was like a weak willow in the wind, her long hair reached her waist, and she was green and fell to the ground for a while, full of girlish tenderness; When she looked at her side, the icy and jade red face, like a bright moon, instantly illuminated the entire Jade Belt River, especially the clear eyes, which made Xiao Changling unforgettable.

What kind of eyes are they? Once looking back, once looking forward, you can pass on the infinite beauty to the heroic Xiao Changling; From her eyes, Xiao Changling saw a kind of graceful beauty, quiet beauty, but also a kind of elegant beauty, noble beauty, but also a kind of delicate beauty and melancholy beauty.

Xiao Changling stared at her, to be precise, looking at those extremely beautiful eyes, and the more he looked, the more fascinated he became, and the more he looked, the more fascinated he became; Obviously, he has been completely conquered by these talking eyes, and by the bright girl in front of him.

Is it heartbeat, is it intentional?

It is two people with a heart, and two hearts with each other.

At this moment, a gentle voice came from the group of girls, this voice, surprised, amazed, amazed.

"Isn't that the king of Rencheng!?"

The person who spoke was Ling Zhilan from the Xuanguo Mansion, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she remembered something, and her words revealed inexplicable excitement, she remembered, she finally remembered.

Ren Cheng King!

Hearing this resounding name, all the girls present looked at Xiao Changling with countless admiring eyes, and all wanted to see the true face of Lushan under His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

"Zhilan, you're not mistaken, right? Is he really the king of the city? Ming Yurou was a little incredulous.

"Of course! I entered the palace with my mother a few days ago, and I saw King Ren Cheng practicing arrows in the imperial garden, although I was far away and couldn't see it too clearly, but I was sure that it was definitely him, and he wouldn't admit his mistake. Ling Zhilan said firmly.

Hearing Ling Zhilan's tone so sure, the girls nodded one after another; At this time, Ming Yurou looked around, and suddenly said to the sisters mysteriously.

"Sisters, I used to hear my father say that His Majesty's three princes, only His Royal Highness King Qi and King Rencheng are the sons of His Majesty and the Queen's mother; Moreover, I have heard that His Majesty and the Empress like King Ren Cheng the most, even if it is the King of Qi and the eldest princess of Pingyang, they can't compare to his position in His Majesty's heart. ”

Ling Zhilan smiled lightly, "No, I also heard that the reason why His Majesty has not appointed a prince so far is that he wants to be the king of the city......

Without waiting for Ling Zhilan to finish speaking, Ming Yurou was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her.

"Zhilan, you don't want to die, national affairs, where can we put our beaks!"

"Isn't there no outsider!"

Li Yan looked at the opposite side, looked at Xiao Changling, who was dressed in white and riding on a tall horse, and listened to the discussions of the sisters, a faint disdain flashed in her eyes, and she blurted out.

"You say, this king of the city, shouldn't he be a gentleman!"

As soon as she heard this, everyone's eyes turned to Li Yan again, and even Xie Wanxin looked at her best friend, but Ling Zhilan still spoke softly, and in and out of her words, she worshiped Xiao Changling properly.

"Sister Ayan, you don't know about this, although King Ren Cheng is a prince and has a noble background, everything he has today is all earned by his own strength; I heard my father say that King Ren Cheng joined the army at a young age, and joined the army when he was ten years old, and he was already a great soldier at a young age, and no one could match him, otherwise, how could His Majesty hand over the 70,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Battalion to the King of Ren Cheng, who was not yet a weak crown......

"Okay, you dare to talk about loneliness behind your back."

I only heard a low man's vibrating voice, warm and lush, with the sonorous power of gold and iron, slowly coming from behind the girls, like a gust of breeze, refreshing people's hearts, floating into the ears of every young girl; It can be heard that this abrupt male voice, although it has the meaning of iron and blood, still retains a trace of gentle smile, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

The next moment, the girls looked back gently, but they were surprised to see that Xiao Changling, who was dressed in white, appeared behind them at some point; It must be admitted that the demeanor of the young prince is indeed out of the dust, with a white jacket, a white hair crown, and a white ribbon, which just reflects his handsome appearance; At this moment, Xiao Changling was standing on that lawn, and his body was empty except for the black and heavy "Chengying" long sword.

The golden sunlight shone on Xiao Changling's jade-like forehead.

"I've seen Your Highness!"

Xiao Changling stepped forward slowly, his left hand lightly held on the hilt of the sword of "Chengying", and the smile on his face was still as warm as ever.

"Is Your Highness also here today?" Ming Yurou asked timidly.

Unexpectedly, to Ming Yurou's surprise, His Royal Highness the prince in front of him did not pretend to be high like other meritorious children, but smiled slightly and said loudly.

"Lonely is an uninvited guest, and it didn't sweep everyone's interest in playing."

After that, his clear eyes looked at Xie Wanxin, who was face to face with him, the ruthlessness and fierce killing of the enemy on the battlefield on weekdays, the iron fist and ruthlessness of the traitor, suddenly disappeared, and the flowing eyes of his eyes frequently added a bit of chivalrous tenderness.

Xiao Changling smiled warmly.

……

Spring is bright.

The spring sun shines brightly, making the green lawn on the bank of the Yudai River like a jade gem inlaid under the blue sky, shining with an incomparably dazzling luster, the artistic conception is so far-reaching, and the air is so fresh.

At this time, Xiao Changling's face was like water, and his body was like a tall poplar, standing quietly on the lawn; He was wearing a white coat of Shengxue, holding the black hilt of the sword in his left hand, and cutting his right hand upside down behind his back, allowing the white clothes to be swept by the wind, leaving only a proud figure.

After a moment, Xiao Changling slowly raised his eyes, and the two warm gazes, slightly glowing with the temperature of the warm spring sun, were cast on the pure cheeks of the woman in front of him; Fang was just across the lawn from her, so he could only see the basic figure and demeanor, but now, he and her, standing face to face like this, Xiao Changling saw clearly, at this moment, her demeanor was like a hibiscus out of water, her skin was as white as snow, her black and elegant green silk, and her clear and beautiful eyes, which made her, a dignified general of Zhenbei, look out of her mind for a while.

"If I didn't guess wrong, presumably, this is Miss Xie Si."

At this time, Xiao Changling brought a faint smile and stared at Xie Wanxin's pair of beautiful eyes, his eyes contained the unique brightness of a young man, and his words revealed the natural gentleness of an amorous son.

Xie Wanxin finally raised her head, and her tender gaze, just like the scorching brightness of peach blossoms, was reflected between the man's shining pupils, as if she wanted to remember every look of the young man in white deeply in her heart, and this memory could not be erased for the rest of her life.

After a careful examination, Xie Wanxin found that Xiao Changling's appearance and appearance were indeed worthy of his noble status as a prince, only to see that his forehead was broad and full, his hair was like ink, his sword eyebrows were starry, his expression was clear like the wind, and his face was full of heroism; Could it be that he is the general of Zhenbei praised by everyone in the mouth of the soldiers of the national dynasty, and he is the white-clothed commander who once tried his sword in Mobei and rode horses in the grassland.

The eyes are facing each other.

The two were speechless.

"Your Highness knows the concubine?" Xie Wanxin looked at his fiery eyes and smiled.

Xiao Changling smiled indifferently again.

"Chen Jun Xie's century-old family, poetry and book heirloom, Ling Zun is the head of the three princes, when the world Wenzong, the name of the fourth lady, Changling has also heard of it."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Xie Wanxin lowered her head, and did not look at Xiao Changling's clear eyes, but added a hint of girlish shyness, but this slightly elegant shyness made her look cold.

Just when the two of them fell into a silence at a loss, Li Yan suddenly stepped forward, gently hugged Wan'er's thin shoulders, and smiled playfully at Xiao Changling, "King Rencheng, don't you like us Wan'er, is His Highness here for the beauty today?" ”

In an instant, on the green grass, a silver bell-like girl's laughter sounded.

As expected, in the laughter of everyone, Xie Wan's beautiful face was stained with a little crimson, and her long eyelashes couldn't help shaking; At this moment, she was like a kitten who had been stepped on by her tail, she glanced at Li Yan angrily, looking at Wan'er's shy and angry appearance, Li Yan raised her eyebrows proudly, and her face was full of triumphant expressions.

"That's right, King Ren Cheng, do you like Miss Four?"

"Tell me, Your Highness."

Like Xie Wanxin's reaction, Xiao Changling looked embarrassed, and after laughing bitterly twice, he turned his head to the side, using this to hide the dazed and shy appearance on the surface, but this couldn't escape the bright eyes of those girls, and he couldn't imagine that the commander of the Beida Battalion, who was charging on the battlefield, would actually have such a helpless side.

"I knew that King Ren Cheng must like Miss Wan'er."

"Eh, look, King Ren Cheng is embarrassed......"

"Your Highness, why are you blushing?"

Seeing this situation, Xiao Changling simply turned his heart sideways, turned around again, looked at Xie Wanxin softly, and staggered the topic extremely cleverly.

"Fourth Miss, Lone just watched your pill-pounding technique. Unexpectedly, the Wanxin girl looks demure and elegant, and when she plays, she is so heroic, it seems that she is a little lonely and looks down on you. ”

Looking at the handsome young prince in front of him, Xie Wanxin's heart unconsciously swelled with a warm current; The reverie was only a matter of a moment, and soon, Xie Wanxin looked at Xiao Changling and replied with a smile.

"I'm just a small carving insect skill, how can it compare to His Highness's killing on the battlefield with a knife and a gun."

"Do you want to go to war with me!" Xiao Changling suddenly asked.

"Can you take care of me?" Xie Wan asked coquettishly with the agility of a girl.

"I'll protect you!"

The golden warm sun hit Xiao Changling's white clothes, covering his heroic and upright posture with a faint halo; He tilted his head slightly, his expression was gentle and peaceful, quietly staring at Xie Wanxin's bright eyes, and the smile under the corner of his mouth had already bent into a beautiful arc, like a breeze.

Suddenly, the corners of Xiao Changling's eyes twitched slightly, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade; A sound of arrow feathers that made the roots of the teeth sore and pierced the eardrums, bursts of high and low gasps and shouts, faintly, poured into the depths of Xiao Changling's ears.

Only in the blink of an eye, Xiao Changling's eyes were full of coldness.

"Be careful!"

It's too late, it's too soon. saw that Xiao Changling shook his arms and wrists, grabbed Xie Wanxin's sleeve, and quickly protected her behind him, his left hand was already tightly held on the hilt of the sword; Xie Wanxin's face was pale, she didn't understand what was going on, it made Xiao Changling abnormal.

Not only Xie Wanxin, but countless girls, including Li Yan, Ling Zhilan, and Ming Yurou, were all frightened and looked at each other one by one.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, a white feather arrow, the tip of the arrow was cold, carrying a sharp sound of string control, like a lightning, tearing through layers of air, whistling, whirling, and stabbing straight at Xiao Changling's face.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Seeing this, Xie Wanxin was very worried, and even shouted out loudly.

In the face of this sudden arrow, Xiao Changling was fearless, just raised his sword eyebrows proudly, and the whole person smiled coldly, with extreme contempt, extreme disdain, and extreme arrogance in his laughter.

The next moment, Xiao Changling concentrated, raised his eyes slightly, and a bright lightning flashed in his eyes, and the electric light pierced the clouds, showing the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of the commander; He flicked up his right hand and gently patted the scabbard, accompanied by a low dragon roar, and the sword blade of the snow and cold was like a poisonous and blood-devouring wolf tooth, as if it could remove a body of blood and leap out of the sheath.

The shadow is out of the sheath.

A sword frost.

Under the spring sun, the sword light of the long sword is extraordinarily dazzling, smooth and transparent, like the color of beautiful jade, and the light shines brightly, it feels very strange, and blooms a large piece of sword light of the soul, which is really the first of the "four famous swords in the world".

Xiao Changling drew his sword out of the sheath, and his right hand holding the sword gently waved forward; I saw that a cold light swept out, and the shadow was slashed past. Before the blade of the sword touched, the shaft of the arrow had been silently cut off by the cold sword light, and this set of actions was only in an instant.

After the feather arrow was broken, Xiao Changling remained silent, and took Chengying behind him with his backhand, while his free left hand, with an extremely terrifying agility, gently poked out and grabbed the half-cut broken arrow in the air.

Xiao Changling let go of his hand.

The broken arrow fell to the ground silently.

……

Vast expanses of smoke and dust, along the distant hills and fields, rose into the air, obscuring the sky and the sun, as if they had swallowed up the blue sky until only gray and gloomy, leaving behind a solemn gloom.

Looking at the smoke and dust billowing in the sky, Xiao Changling's eyes gradually became solemn, and the coldness on his face also replaced the previous brightness and softness, showing an increasingly obvious arc of perseverance, even the hand he held the sword was holding the hilt of the sword in his hand at this moment, and he didn't dare to let go for a moment.

As the commander in charge of the 70,000 strong army, who once personally led hundreds of soldiers and fought in the desert bloody barbarian cavalry, Xiao Changling knew very well that the haze of danger was like that black cloud, slowly approaching this side.
