When Chen Xikang took Lao Jin and Yile to stop and go, all the way towards Taiwu in Xiyue, among the strong men, people had begun to shrink at home because of the arrival of winter, but every morning, on the road to the palace of a thousand palaces paved with blue bricks, there were still many carriages and horses to discuss the court.

Not only in the morning, because of the unstable situation in Tanglin, the city can even often see the messenger from the Daming Palace whipped out of the horse, the tall horses galloping in the road, just to see the information is extraordinarily important, but fortunately, because of the winter, even the most prosperous place in the world Chang'an City is not so many people.

Outside the door of the Taixue Mansion of Daming Palace, Wang Ma, who was squatting outside the door at this time and waiting for the Qingzhu University scholars, had to warm up in order to resist the cold, but even so, his nose was still red from the cold.

Looking up at the sun hanging high, the lake in front of him has been covered with thick ice, although he has spent the winter in the Daming Palace more than once, but this year is especially cold after the cold, Wang Ma also scolded in his heart Hell.

Thinking of the news he got from Brother Ping'an, Wang Ma, who was squatting under the eaves, also became curious.

I don't know where Xikang's kid ran this time, and once again made the shadow cabinet and Brother Ping'an unable to find anyone at night.

When he was thinking about it, when he saw the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, Wang Ma's face suddenly appeared with a look of disdain.

After knowing that Cao Jie was definitely coming to find Liu Bingguo again, Wang Ma muttered in disgust in his heart, but he didn't step forward to greet him.

Although he is a notoriously reckless man, Wang Ma is the founder of the country after all, and the official is a hussar general, which is one level higher than Cao Jie.

Although Wang Ma didn't put on a good face, Cao Jie, who had already come to the front, still pretended to greet politely, but knowing that this reckless general didn't want to see him, he didn't say much, just carried a boxy and delicate box and waited outside the door.

Behind the two of them, in a partition of the wall, the voices of a group of scholars in the room could be heard.

Cao Jie came from the point of view, so he didn't wait long after his arrival, the door behind him was opened, and when he saw the people outside the house, some of the bachelors who came out of the room looked at Liu Bingguo in the house, and their faces only showed envy.

Wearing a long skirt, innocent, under the custody of the winter scene, it always makes people feel extremely clean, and Chen Wanqing, who is also next to Liu Bingguo, is rouge-colored, the jade face is not frivolous, the hands and feet are measured, the eyes are like comets, and they are rich and learned, which always makes people feel respectable and unapproachable.

Seeing the two people at the door, Liu Bingguo felt joy but also embarrassment, joy was because of the arrival of Wang Ma, and embarrassment was because of the person with a boxy box in his hand.

Knowing the other party's intentions, he also expressed his thoughts euphemistically, but after Cao Jie still didn't care, Liu Bingguo gradually became helpless, but because of Cao Jie's identity, it was difficult for him to speak out.

But Liu Bingguo was in awe of Cao Jie and treated him politely, but Chen Wanqing didn't care at all.

didn't even look at Cao Jie, and saw the second brother Wang who had a cold nose that was a little red, knowing that he must have been waiting here early because of some urgent matter, Chen Wanqing told Liu Bingguo a word and left with Wang Ma.

"This weather is evil enough, it's so cold and biting, I don't know how that kid from Xikang can survive wandering alone. ”

Wang Ma, who came to the house, drank hot tea to warm his body, and said in a worried and helpless tone that a rough person like him couldn't survive this cold winter after so many years of good life, not to mention Xikang, who had been clothed and fed since he was a child, and had never suffered a little.

Wang Ma didn't say it, but after hearing him say this, Chen Wanqing, who was already extremely worried about Chen Xikang, suddenly had only a deep sadness on his face.

There were assassins in front and behind, and they didn't know how Sikang slept with a full stomach when they were penniless, and the weather was so cold, Sikang didn't know how uncomfortable it was now.

Thinking of all this, Chen Wanqing suddenly lost her mind, and just sat in a daze, her mind full of pictures of Chen Xikang being frozen and starving.

Although he knew that the pictures in his mind were all guessed by himself because he cared, Chen Wanqing couldn't help but think like this, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he felt in his heart.

"Second Brother Wang, you were waiting for me outside the school before, but what's the matter?"

After a long sigh, Chen Wanqing slowly asked, if it's okay, Second Brother Wang won't run to wait for him in the cold.

"Brother Ping'an sent a letter, saying that this kid Xikang disappeared again, and this time even the shadow cabinet and Ye Bu were lost, but according to the information that Ye Bu received, Xi Kang did not disappear because of the pursuit, it should be that in order to avoid the chasing and killing of the people behind him, he didn't know that he ran to the barren mountains and mountains with Lao Jin. ”

Hearing that Chen Xikang disappeared again, the worry in Chen Wanqing's heart rose a little more, even if Chen Xikang disappeared not once or twice.

"Did the letter say where you last saw Sikang?"

"On the border of South County. ”

"Nanjun, Nanjun is at the end of the Huai River, and beyond Nanjun is the most barren area Huainan, Xikang has a good relationship with the second prince Song Yin, will he go to the king of Huainan?"

"It's hard to say, although the land of Hainan is a barren land, but the strategic location is only under Hanyang, where the Huainan army with the king of Huainan is guarded, even if it is not collected at night, it will take some time to sneak in to collect information. ”

Hearing King Huainan, Wang Ma also rarely showed a solemn expression on his face.

Because of the purgatory-like battles in the Great Qin era, Wang Ma, as a military general, has always despised the younger generation, but for the king of Huainan, he recognizes it in his heart, even if Song Yin only led the Huainan army to guard in the sparsely populated Huainan wilderness, and never went to the battlefield to practice in person.

After guessing Chen Xikang's whereabouts in his heart, and knowing that he was likely to really go to Song Yin, Chen Wanqing relaxed a little more in his heart.

Song Yin is not as good as Song Heng, and has an excellent relationship with Xikang, and now the west is not reversed, although the world is stormy, everything is still peaceful, and Song Yin will not make a move on Xikang.

On the contrary, after knowing that Xikang was going to Taiwu, Song Yin might also help Xikang one or two.

After the west is Taiwu, and after Huainan is also Taiwu.

After being temporarily relieved, Chen Wanqing began to calculate the days when Chen Xikang returned home, although he knew that such days were still a long time, but he was happy to do it, but after calculating it, a picture of the two of them experiencing together appeared in his mind.

After turning over the past, scene by scene, and making the bits and pieces of the past clear, the thoughts in Chen Wanqing's heart became deeper.

And when Chen Wanqing gradually had a smile on her face because of her childhood memories, in the same Daming Palace, under the cold plum tree, the elegant and leisurely piano sound came in a curling way, especially ethereal in the days when everything was silent.

The ten fingers exposed to the cold air were already stiff, and after playing the piano and stroking the strings, they became a little red.

After finishing the song, the pianist Han Shangru just looked up at the slender man in a thin green shirt in front of him even in the cold winter, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Accustomed to living a life of poverty and hardship since childhood, Chai Fei has long been accustomed to hunger and cold.

Qi Fei, who was drinking and warming up, saw the sight in front of him and thought slightly in his heart, as if he was recalling the piano music just now.

"The piano is the ruler of music. Loud and romantic without noise, laughter without annihilation and unheard, suitable enough to be kind to people, and to inspire kindness. ”

After thinking for a while, Qi Fei said so lightly, and after hearing this comment that was neither praise nor disparagement, but only suitable for appropriate comments, Han Shangru on the other side also laughed.

"Brother Zong, it is worthy of you, only you will give such an evaluation. ”

"Brother, do you say that people like us who are plotting things should be a matter of peace or chaos. On paper, although he has not stepped on the battlefield, under the pen and paper, it is often the battlefield of thousands of lives. ”

Thinking of what the Han Emperor let him do these days, Han Shang felt like he was asking, but he had the meaning of complaining about Chai Fei.

After knowing that someone was the same kind as himself, Han Shangru once asked Qi Fei what he wanted after entering the palace, but Chai Fei only told him the word "study", for such an elegant and peaceful answer, Han Shangru didn't believe it at first, but now he believes it, so he discussed everything with Chai Fei.

Since entering the Daming Palace, Chai Fei does not fight or grab, nor does he argue with others for a round, and has always been to have a learning attitude and seek knowledge from others, even if he encounters something that he does not agree with, he is only in his heart, and he thinks about it alone.

But even if the firewood is not visible and the water is not leaking, the Korean businessman who has a lot of contact with him knows in his heart that he is a person with great wisdom.

Hearing the words of the person opposite, Qi Fei, who put down the wine glass, looked thoughtful again.

Whether it is to people or things, not to speak immediately, but to reply after thinking in the heart, it has still become a habit of Chai Fei.

"The things that are planned are because of people. In order to seek the peace of the world, we must also plan for chaos; for the people to make a living, killing is also indispensable; for the sake of the king, there is no such thing as peace and chaos. ”

"It seems that Brother Qi is also the one who has a firm mind and knows how to deal with it. ”

"Sima Fa" has a cloud: killing people is peaceful, and killing them can be done. Stop the war with war, although it can be warn. Although the country is big, it will perish if it is warlike, and although the world is good, it will be dangerous to die in war. But after all, I am a person who learns poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, music, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is difficult for me to open my eyes and see the blood in the world for a while. ”

Chai Fei, who had been sitting for most of the day, got up, and after simply sorting out the most luxurious robe he had worn in his life, he said lightly: "Mr. Han has no sorrow, and he doesn't know the difficulties of the people. People have nothing to desire, they can't get what they want, they are muddy, the walking dead, life and death, what is the difference? In this world, there are many people who are willing to shed blood and do not want to shed tears. ”

"Brother Ao's words are all true, but if a person dies, a grave pile with three pillars of fragrance, and the rest, there is really nothing. ”

"But what about living, only a broken body left, and lying in the ground?"

After Qi Fei finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, leaving Han Shangru with a straight back and leaving.

After Chai Fei left for a while, Han Shangru picked up the piano on the table and left.

"Brother Zong, you said that the people of the world are slowly busy in this world, and they have no intention of caring about it for a few taels of silver, and when the smoke of gunpowder rises again, I am afraid that it will be full of sorrow. ”

Han Shangru was speaking alone, and there was a melancholy on his face that could not be dispersed.

In the past, Han Shangru was very confident in himself, he thought he could, but when he really found the Han Emperor and got the approval of the Han Emperor, he realized that the so-called seeking the world was actually to work for the king of Hades and see off the heroes in armor.
