In the farewell pavilion outside Kyoto, several people sit on their knees.

Chen Mingye was a little distracted for a while, and didn't notice the little red robe on the side staring at her for a long time, until she pulled her sleeve hard, and then she came back to her senses.

"What's wrong?" he turned to look at Red.

"Little junior brother, you said yesterday that you were going to tell a story. Xiaohong looked at him unhappily and pursed her mouth.

"Little junior brother?" Zhao You, who was opposite, heard this title, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly became playful, "This little girl is cute, where did she get it?"

Listening to Zhao You's words, Chen Mingye suddenly laughed a little, and then the next moment he already had a premonition in his heart that something bad was good.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao You's words spoke, Xiaohong, who had been quietly nesting next to Chen Mingye, raised her head suddenly, like an angry kitten, and bared her little tiger teeth at Zhao You.

"Yo, it's pretty fierce. Zhao You smiled, "When did you become a little girl's junior brother?"

Chen Mingye didn't bother to pay attention to his sarcasm: "That's a long story." ”

"Let a little girl with yellow hair be a senior sister, it seems that going to southern Xinjiang really suffered a lot. Zhao You analyzed clearly.

"Okay, don't knock on the side, you don't feel good in Kyoto. Chen Mingye glanced at the guy opposite.

Zhao You smiled, and there was a little relief between his eyebrows: "I'm much better than you, I'm in Kyoto, my eyes are full of prosperity, and it's much easier than your bumpy journey." ”

Chen Mingye looked at the young man who smiled indifferently opposite, and the appearance of the child with a runny nose in his impression vaguely overlapped with him.

Zhao You is in Kyoto, so naturally he is not as relaxed as he said.

It was a long time after he became Zhao You's playmate that he finally learned the identity of the little broken child from his grandfather.

Zhao You is the son-in-law of King Chu Xiang, who is the same mother as the current emperor, although he is the son of the world, but in this Kyoto, he is more like an unidentified proton. King Chu Xiang was not allowed to return outside, and he was not allowed to leave Kyoto.

The identity of the prince has never been beneficial to Zhao You, only a burden.

Therefore, Chen Mingye later called him "His Royal Highness", and Zhao You never objected, but he was the one who laughed the most.

As for the title of "stupid young marshal", it is Zhao You's unaccustomed to Chen Mingye's stinky fart, and he is not to be outdone.

Between friends, how can you do without giving each other a nickname.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chen Mingye's mouth rose unconsciously again.

"I think you've probably been stupid in the past three years?" Zhao You glanced at him, and he didn't have a good breath.

Chen Mingye smiled, reached out and picked up the teapot that had been boiled to add some tea to him, and then thought about it and said, "Your father, when I passed by Yun Mengze, I was lucky to meet him. ”

Zhao You was slightly stunned, and then shook his head a little lonely: "He's okay." ”

Chen Mingye shrugged: "It's good, I played a good show, and I watched it very well." ”

Zhao You seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "There is still one month that will be Your Majesty's fiftieth birthday, if he doesn't make himself ruthless, how can he have an excuse to shirk it." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao You's voice paused slightly, but his face was still silent, and his voice was light: "He probably hasn't been to Kyoto for more than ten years." ”

Chen Mingye looked at the plain look on his face, but he was the one who knew his state of mind the most.

How can it be bland? A six- or seven-year-old child was sent to Kyoto alone, and henceforth he had to endure all the ridicule, humiliation, and loneliness alone...... A day of suffering, a day of suffering, and as a father, the vassal king is at large, how many children can have no complaints in their hearts?

Thinking of this, Chen Mingye couldn't help but sneer: "King Chu Xiang really implemented a forbearance word to the extreme, I have to admire." ”

Zhao You shook his head and did not speak.

"Speaking of which, he can endure everything, but why has he given you only the burden? Heh, this is the price of forbearance?" Chen Mingye said this, and he still couldn't help but think of the high-spirited vassal king on Yunmengze, who was really majestic, and so generous.

Zhao You listened to his words, but he just chuckled, and slowly picked up the tea that Chen Mingye poured for himself, and there were not too many waves in his eyes: "It's nothing bad, I cried and hated and complained to you earlier, but now, it's good to read the sage books, have a long insight, do learning, and have a dull life." ”

Chen Mingye glanced at him: "This is not like the guy I knew at the beginning can say it, I remember a little broken child who cried to me with a handful of snot and tears wiped his face." ”

"Hahahaha......" Zhao You suddenly laughed, this proud disciple who had always adhered to the words "gentle, courteous and frugal" in front of Mr. suddenly showed such a presumptuous and arrogant appearance.

"It's long gone. He finished laughing, laughing heartbreakingly, laughing so loudly that his voice seemed to be a little hoarse, and finally came out, but his voice was as flat as ever, just a little more lonely.

Chen Mingye sighed: "Okay, okay, let's get together again, how can you say something unlucky." Don't talk about that, now I see that you are doing well, but it is really moisturizing. ”

"There is no moisture, it can only be said that it is just a habit. In other words, I am not the child who was bullied at the beginning, and I have a little ability to resist pressure. Zhao You said this, squinting his eyes slightly.

Chen Mingye nodded, after three years of absence, Zhao You's mental state was even better than before, which was enough to reassure him.

"Forget it, don't talk about me, it's really not easy for you, three years of exile, it's your ability to sneak out this time. Tell me, what are your plans to come back this time?" Zhao You glanced at him and took a sip of tea.

"Good luck, I met a nobleman. Chen Mingye said this, thinking of Jiang Hechuan's resolute face, and couldn't help but feel a little indignant in his heart, "As for going back to Kyoto this time, it's just a task given by my cheap master." ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, but still spoke: "By the way, I can also come back to see the person sitting high on the dragon chair, so as to remind myself not to be too relaxed." ”

“...... In any case, you just have a good idea. Zhao You looked at his expression, just sighed, and didn't persuade anything.

"Rest assured, I won't go back to adventure until I'm sure. Chen Mingye chuckled, "Only this time, I won't stay in Kyoto for long." ”

"What, what are your plans, where are you going to go in the future?" Zhao You was stunned for a moment, then stared at him and asked.

Chen Mingye smiled: "What's the matter, you can't bear me when you just meet?"

"Seriously, I was thinking that I still owed you a few meals at the beginning, and I couldn't drag it out like this, I had to pay it back one day. Zhao You glanced at him, and he didn't have a good breath.

Chen Mingye laughed: "It's rare that you still remember, don't be in a hurry, this meal has to be eaten slowly, and it is naturally the best to eat your kid's wedding banquet one day." ”

Zhao You was stunned for a moment, and then glared at him with some annoyance: "You really can't open which pot to mention!"

"Hahahaha...... Sure enough, you guy is still thinking about Miss Yao'er. Chen Mingye suddenly burst into laughter.

This Yao'er girl, Chen Mingye naturally has a little impression, after all, he was known as the first merry young marshal in Kyoto back then, and this famous head brand of Yichun Academy will naturally not be missed.

Speaking of which, he also wondered, how could Zhao You, such a serious scholar, follow him to the first time he went upstairs, and he fell in love with such a person at a glance?

When Zhao You heard him say this, he hurriedly coughed lightly and hurriedly changed the topic: "This ...... Ahem, if you're in a hurry, where are you going?"

Chen Mingye glanced at him with a smile, but he didn't deliberately embarrass him, just nodded and said, "There is indeed a place to go, but I haven't decided yet, I'll tell you when it's decided." ”

Xiao Hong, who had been secretly pricking up her little ears, was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and looked at Chen Mingye with big eyes: "Little junior brother, you promised to return to Qingxuan after the master's Zhujiao Conference." ”

"Qingxuan?" Zhao You seemed to think of something when he heard these two words, looked at Chen Mingye carefully for a few moments, and then said with understanding, "I said, where did you learn the technique of not being a ghost or a ghost, it turned out to be a cultivator?"

"What kind of person is not human, ghost is not ghost!" Xiaohong suddenly pursed her mouth when she heard this, and looked at Zhao You with fierce eyes, "Our Qingxuan is a decent Taoist!"

"Heh," Zhao You looked at the little girl's appearance, and suddenly became happy, "I said Xiaoye, you really learned the Tao? You call this little girl Senior Sister, she can't be some kind of old Taoist aunt with good faces, right? How old does she look like, but in fact, she is already dozens old?"

As soon as Chen Mingye heard this, he knew that he was going to suffer, and sure enough, Xiao Hong, who couldn't hold back anymore in the next second, had already left the seat like a bolt of lightning and rushed towards Zhao You.

"Xiaohong, stop it!" Chen Mingye was suddenly anxious, he knew Zhao You's background, this guy was malnourished since he was a child, and his body bones were really weak, where could he resist Xiaohong's tossing.

The red figure seemed to pause slightly, and then Chen Mingye saw five red finger prints on Zhao You's fair face.

Zhao You raised his head in confusion and looked at him dumbfounded.

"Let your mouth be happy, and now your face will be happy. Chen Mingye wanted to laugh a little, but in front of Zhao You, he felt a little inappropriate, so he had to look at him with a sigh.

"It's really amazing, a little girl is really ruthless!" Zhao You suddenly had a light in his eyes, which startled Chen Mingye, "I said Xiaoye, how are you cultivating immortals?"

Chen Mingye was a little helpless: "I'm just learning some methods of qi training, and I really want to say that there are still 108,000 miles away from cultivating immortals." ”

Zhao You smiled, as if he didn't care about the slap on his face: "Okay, in the future, my brother will point to you to practice some elixir." ”

"Yes, shameless, you're still number one. Chen Mingye glanced at him, reached out and touched Xiaohong's head, which was still staring at Zhao You, "My senior sister, don't be angry, he is just joking, you see that your slap should be about the same." ”

"Hmph, fox friends and dog friends, a raccoon dog. Little Red glared at him, and in a flash she deftly dodged his claws.

"......" Chen Mingye saw Xiaohong use the idiom so coherently for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be used on himself.

"The little girl has read a lot of books, and she has some foundation," Zhao You on the side was a little surprised.

When Xiaohong heard this, she turned her head and glared at him fiercely, and Zhao You quickly closed her mouth. The little girl glanced at the two of them angrily, too lazy to take care of it anymore.

Chen Mingye touched her nose, this little girl is really stubborn.

Zhao You and Chen Mingye talked about a few interesting things in Kyoto in recent years, the two continued to chat with each other, Xiaohong ate some snacks on the table by herself, and Xiaowu San'er stayed outside the pavilion, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the official road.

The farewell booth is set up for farewell, and it relies on the official road. At this moment, it is early in the morning, and the flow of people is extremely dense.

However, from the very distance, suddenly there was a puff of billowing smoke and dust, and the sound of hooves of "dong dong dong" was heard, and it was obvious that a large group of fast horses were rushing towards this side, and the sound was extremely grand.

Chen Mingye was slightly startled, this is the boundary of Kyoto, and it is not normal for such a momentum to appear here. Zhao You also put down the wine glass in his hand, turned his head, and stared at the direction of the horse team.

Riding fast horses from far and near, Chen Mingye recognized his identity at a glance.

"It's an urgent report from the border gates. ”

Chen Mingye was born in Beizhou, so it was naturally easy to identify the origin of these cavalry.

Zhao You's eyes tightened: "Could it be ......"

Chen Mingye nodded, looked at the cavalry who was far away and only had their backs left in an instant, and said, "Coming from the north, it should be the action of the Northern Desert." This is the case every winter, which is to be expected. ”

Zhao You sighed: "Yesterday, King Jin should have just returned to Beijing, right?"

Chen Mingye frowned: "The Northern Desert has already spied on the news. ”

"General Yang is guarding Luoque City, and it should be fine. Zhao You thought for a while and said.

When Chen Mingye heard this name, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that timid little face.

"By the way, you were with Meng Che yesterday, and he knew your identity?" Zhao You suddenly asked.

"No, I haven't told him that fool yet," Chen Mingye shook his head, thought about it and said, "Although I didn't say it explicitly, Aunt Meng seems to see it." ”

Zhao You nodded: "Mrs. Meng has always been as careful as a hair, she can see it, it's not surprising." ”

"I've always wondered, how did you recognize me at a glance?" Chen Mingye said a little inexplicably.

"Hahaha, you guy's eyes, I knew it immediately at a glance, over the years, not to mention that you have changed your face, even if you turn to ashes, I can see at a glance which pile is you. Zhao You said proudly.

“...... You guy really can't spit out ivory in his mouth, can you say something good?" Chen Mingye glanced at him.

"Damn, aren't you moved when I say that?" Zhao You's face was full of unhappiness.

"Touched by a fart, what a bullshit Your Highness, nothing. Chen Mingye directly raised his middle finger.

Zhao You was unceremoniously kicked over.

Chen Mingye dodged and simply stood up and looked at the scenery in the distance.

Zhao You also stepped to his side, looking at the white snow in the distance that had not yet melted, and was silent.

Three years ago, they were separated from each other. At that time, the wealthy families in Beijing were all close friends of the Chen family when they were at their peak, and there was only one person who came to see him off when he was down.

There are many, many people who are hindered by their identity, who take care of their families, and who are not easy to show up openly and secretly. But it was true, it was only this most unscrupulous teenager who had stood here and watched him go away alone.

"Time is so fast. Chen Mingye smiled.

"yes, that's fast. Zhao You also smiled.
