Zhao Wuwu and Zhao Minmin are not biological brothers and sisters, they are half-siblings, and their relationship is even closer than that of biological brothers and sisters.

Listen to the spring rain in the imperial city in spring, drink acacia tea in Shen Mansion in summer, enjoy the lanterns in autumn, and roast sweet potatoes in the snow in winter.

These interesting things that Zhao Minmin can still recall now, except for teasing Shen Qingwen, most of the rest have traces of Zhao Wuwu.

There were thousands of streamers in his eyes, and Zhao Minmin couldn't remember when he started, and he and Zhao Wuwu gradually drifted apart, until today's cold eyes.

She only knew that everything had changed since the day the Shen Mansion fell.

When Zhao Wuwu helped in the name of the general, Zhao Minmin did not send it, and Zhao Wuwu did not stop at the palace gate. Engraved with the national flag of Zhao dancing in the wind, the thin body wearing heavy armor Zhao Wuwu, what was thinking at that time, Zhao Minmin didn't know.

When a few years later, when Zhao Wuwu's reputation became more and more famous in Biansai, an edict was issued from the hands of the current monarch of Great Zhao, and the second prince of Great Zhao was recalled without warning.

Zhao Wuwu, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked back. The territory of Dazhao is vast, from the national capital to the border fortress, there are hundreds of miles. Even with a carriage, it can take months, let alone on two feet.

Great Zhao Kingdom, sandalwood is still the same, Zhao Wuwu, who went out as a general, came back in plain clothes.

Standing under the city gate and looking at the fluttering Zhao national flag, Zhao Wuwu was expressionless, and the pride and pride of the past were long gone.

Worry-free, he walked into this cold court.

Hundreds of miles away, from the wolf smoke of the border plug to the prosperous beauty of the imperial capital, Zhao Wuwu couldn't help laughing on the court road.

The sound was loud, and the prince's laughter echoed in this place where there were obviously tens of thousands of people, but there was no smell of people.

Zhao Minmin secretly came to see Zhao Wuwu, but when she saw Zhao Wuwu for the first time, she took a few steps back.

The clear eyes of the past are long gone, although he still has that warm smile on his face, but Zhao Minmin knows that the carefree and carefree brother in her heart is gone.

Zhao Minmin didn't give up, when Zhao Xiangxiang went to Chutian to be the dean of Zhulu Academy, she went to find Zhao Wuwu.

She wanted to take him with her to leave the disappointing Zhao Kingdom.

Zhao Wuwu smiled faintly and unexpectedly refused.

He smiled freely, seeing Zhao Minmin go to Zhao Kingdom, he was envious from the bottom of his heart.

Envy is envy, after all, there is such a big mountain as the prince of Zhao in front of him. Zhao Wuwu knew that now he was the only one who could fight against him.

It's not easy to be busy. I have been looking forward to this for a long time before I have the opportunity to come out today to breathe the air, and Zhao Wuwu still cherishes it.

Looking at the letter that was snatched from Zhao Minmin's hands, Zhao Wuwu smiled lightly. Putting the letter on the tea table in front of him, Zhao Wuwu looked at his dearest imperial sister and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I heard that this fox demon was suppressed under the city, but I didn't expect it to be true. Unexpectedly, this fox demon still has a relationship with Shen Zizhou's predecessors. ”

"So what do you want to say?" Zhao Minmin asked with her beautiful eyes narrowed, she was ready to fight Zhao Wuwu. It's just that the moment Zhao Wuwu spoke, she was stunned in place with a cold face.

Dressed in white plain clothes, he smiled slightly, "Girl, for my brother, I just want to have a good talk with you." ”

A girl pulled Zhao Minmin back to the past, as if for a moment, in front of her, there was still the high-spirited Zhao Wuwu who was standing back then, and his eyes were as beautiful as spring water.

Coming back to his senses, Zhao Wuwu in front of him had no light in his eyes, only a touch of unfading black remained.

Sending the idle people in the restaurant outside, Zhao Wuwu waved his sleeves, and the door slammed shut. Zhao Minmin glanced outside the door, her black and white robe swaying in the wind, and she sat down.

"I remember that you liked to wear skirts when you were young, obviously you are a beauty, you must be like this, neither male nor female. Zhao Wuwu always had a smile in his eyebrows, and he brought the tea to Zhao Minmin.

Zhao Minmin, who took the tea, was not in a hurry to drink it, she waited for Zhao Wuwu's next words.

Zhao Wuwu is not in a hurry, anyway, it is still early. He took a sip of tea, admired the beautiful scenery in the mountains, and opened his mouth when the birds swept across the Yingying Lake, "Shen Qingwen's step is the right one." It's just that he is still too anxious, and the matter of Diyin will still leak out. ”

"Uncle Concern has done his best. Zhao Minmin lowered his eyes and replied softly. The hand holding the teacup had a little temperature, but her heart was still extremely cold.

Zhao Minmin and Zhao Wuwu both knew that at the end of the year, something big would happen.

Maybe it's just a good show to others.

"Minmin, the path that Shen Qingwen walked is a lonely road, have you thought about it?" Zhao Wuwu leaned back in his chair, looked at the sky, and asked in a faint voice.

Zhao Minmin nodded, without any hesitation.

"Oh my God, it's still a sun after all. When there is more sun, it is too hot, and when it is gone, it is too cold. It's just that sometimes he thinks the sun is eye-catching, but fortunately, the moon restricts him. One change and one replacement, it can be regarded as a balance. Zhao Wuwu smiled faintly and handed the letter to Zhao Minmin.

Zhao Minmin, who took the letter, pursed his lips, maybe because of guilt, maybe because of his weak heart. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Zhao Wuwu. She didn't understand it before, but now that she heard Zhao Wuwu's words, she knew.

She has been away from the court for so many years, and the only person who wants to talk to Zhao Wuwu is the shadow. When he returned to Beijing in plain clothes, there was no force in the DPRK and China to support him, and when it was difficult to move an inch, there was no one by his side.

Suddenly feeling that he was so selfish, Zhao Wuwu still smiled calmly. After all, she is still a little girl, she has been like this since she was a child, she is obviously a crying girl, but she just loves to pretend to be strong.

"As a brother, I still have to remind you one last time, you must be careful in everything, and don't leave any handles. Fortunately, this time it is in a place like Zhulu City, if it is placed in any of the five countries in the Middle Kingdom, it is not just as simple as killing a few people. ”

When Zhao Minmin left, Zhao Wuwu still reminded Zhao Minmin. The white and tender hand was placed in front of the restaurant, Zhao Minmin stood for a long time, biting her lower lip, she turned her head and smiled with Zhao Wuwu, "Brother Huang, are you celebrating the New Year together in Zhulu City this year?"

"Nope. Zhao Wuwu shook his head and replied with a smile, "I plan to go to Biansai, but I haven't been back for several years." In the past few years, it has been stable, there has been no war on the frontier, and I have to go back to see my brothers. ”

Zhao Minmin was stunned for a moment, pretending to be ignorant, and nodded with Zhao Wuwu, who was also pretending to be ignorant, and finally turned into a black and white hung and disappeared in place.

Zhao Wuwu watched his Huang Mei leave on the spot, he estimated that it was almost time to chase after his uncle and Aunt Suyang, and he said to the shadow on the side: "Get ready, go to the border of Zhao Kingdom." ”

Shadow took the order, cleaned up, and waited outside in the carriage.

Walking on the restaurant path, Zhao Wuwu glanced back, this quiet place. With a soft sigh, he opened the door and closed it again.

With a horse roar and a drive, the second prince of Zhao Guo, who was famous in the side, was ready to go back and take a look. In the place where I had breakfast with the tiger, I don't know how many acquaintances remained.

There are more than 1,000 people in Zhao Guojun and his ministers, and they all know that when Zhao Wuwu returned to Beijing not long ago, those who had a deep relationship with Zhao Wuwu on the battlefield died or disappeared for no reason.

Maybe everyone knows who it is, when they all choose not to be silent. Maybe in their hearts, just a few lives died.

Time flies, and it's sunset.

With a rock sugar gourd in his hand, even the city of Zhulu at sunset is lively. Shen Qingwen stopped at a shop where he bought couplets, and the words in this store should be the best in the city.

Good words with good couplets, Shen Qingwen moved his mind to buy it. When the store saw that there were customers, they immediately welcomed them with a smile. He followed Shen Qingwen's gaze, made a couplet, and hurriedly said that the guest has a good eye, and this couplet is a year of peace and security.

The year is safe, Shen Qingwen shook his head with a smile, holding a red gourd in one hand and a wine jug in the other. Tonight, he must be going to get drunk with Li Changan.

By the time I returned to the academy, it was completely dark. In the academy, most of the students returned to their own study rooms, and only a few students remained outside.

Shen Qingwen looked for his memory and walked to the Winter Bamboo Courtyard. Before entering the hospital, he could hear a chaotic piano sound wafting out of the courtyard, which was really drunk Shen Qingwen. Jumping lightly, it fell silently in the courtyard, Shen Qingwen wanted to see who was divine who could play such a superb piano sound.

In the dim light, he saw the man who played the harp. Gu Pingguo, who was dressed in white, was playing the piano alone in the courtyard. Her technique was clumsy, and it could be seen that it was the first time she played the piano, Shen Qingwen didn't know how long she had been practicing, but she only knew that her hands were a little scarlet. The white strings were dyed red, and Shen Qingwen didn't bother, but saw that Zhao was worried about entering this winter bamboo courtyard.

As soon as Zhao Xian entered the door, he gave Gu Pingguo a book. Shen Qingwen looked at it, it was a score about the piano.

Under the shady curtain of a few stars, Zhao asked Gu Pingguo with a smile if it was for Shen Qingwen. Gu Pingguo blushed and nodded, Zhao Xian laughed, and said You are a smart girl, you can learn this piano, Shen Qingwen, she will take care of him more in the future.

Gu Pingguo didn't know what Zhao meant, she was a little confused, but she had to nod her head and agree. Zhao Xian was very happy after hearing this, laughed, and was discharged from the hospital.

Gu Pingguo flipped through the book, and when she was about to go back to continue learning the piano, a big wind hung out of nowhere. When the wind stopped, Gu Pingguo found that next to her piano, there were more strings of red sugar gourds that shone in the moonlight.

Gently caressing the blue sleeves on his chest, how can a book of sake dispel sorrow. Shen Qingwen dispelled the idea of looking for Li Changan to drink, and was alone, he was in his own bookstore, drinking to the moon, and worrying about the stars.

He couldn't forgive Zhao Xian's actions, Zhao Xuan's crime was too big, so big that Shen Qingwen had to take Zhao Xuan's life.

However, Shen Qingwen also knew that Zhao was not bad, he was really not bad.

After taking a sip of the sake, he asked Mingyue if there were old people left in the old corridor. The bright moon does not return.

He took another sip of wine and asked the star if there was an inch of grass left under the withered vines and old trees. The star didn't answer.

Laughing at himself, he took the last sip of wine in his throat.

The dim old corridor is still deserted, the withered vines and old trees are in the west wind, this road, Shen Qingwen had to sail away alone and did not look back.
