Spring and autumn

Before he had time to worry about being discovered in Qi State, Jin Guang got into the van and left the capital again.This time I took the van not because I was in poor health and could not get the wind as usual, but because I was hiding on the way.

Even though it is on Jiang Chun's territory, everything cannot be taken lightly.Jin Guang went out wearing the fence, and mixed in with the waiters who were busy with Duke Qi.Tian Meng was left in the capital by Jiang Chun. At this time, he led all the officials to send him off. No one noticed Jin Guang's existence. As soon as he left the city gate, Jiang Chun immediately hid him in the car.

Thinking back, since he was suddenly hunted down last winter, his life as a calm son has completely changed. In the past, he was a simple nobleman, and he didn't care about his elder brother's position, and he couldn't come to the door if he was in trouble. .But when the tide of war swept across, it seemed that there was suddenly no room for him in this world.

Brother Ziming, who always liked to joke with him, didn’t say a word on the way to Zhongzhou Wangcheng, and Jiang Chun didn’t know what to say. The originally healthy and handsome boy was tortured like this, Jiang Chun also deeply regretted .He is going to meet his elder brother this time. After a long time no see, what kind of mentality should he have when meeting him?

Duke Qi's team traveled unimpeded all the way, but was stopped for routine inspection at Qinglong Pass, which entered the king's city.The general guarding the gate was obviously a little surprised. While checking the name book, he asked: "The emperor ordered the Xiaoman League, why did Duke Qi come so early?"

"The first father died, and he relied on the emperor to send an envoy to express his condolences. He is purely the first successor, and he should come early to thank him." Jiang Chun, who had been prepared, explained calmly according to the words Jin Guang gave.

The general nodded suspiciously, looked out to see that there was another person sitting in the van, and then asked: "Who is that person inside, how dare you ride with Duke Qi?"

"It's Chun's attendant, his name is Xiong De, and it's on the roster." Jiang Chun patiently explained, "He caught wind and cold on the road and couldn't see the wind. The team was lightly packed, and only Chun had vans, so let him Come in and ride in the same car."

"Wind and cold?" The general pondered for a while, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "The attendants cannot enter the royal city if they catch the wind and cold.

"This time, Chun came to meet the saint. The attendants will naturally not meet the emperor. Chun will let him stay in the post house. Please rest assured, general." Jiang Chun had heard the hint in his words early, and put his waist The jade pendant was untied and handed to the general.

The general accepted the jade pendant without refusing, and said with a smile, "Duke Qi is really a corporal, he is willing to pay such a high price for a servant."

Jiang Chun didn't say a word, the soldiers had already checked, and the general waved his hand and shouted: "Let go!"

The team in front moved slowly, and Jiang Chunlian got into the car, but when he lowered his head and entered the car, he met Jin Guangying's eyes.

I was at a loss for words for a while, and only heard the other party say sincerely: "Zhongyue, thank you."

"Thank you? Problems that can be solved with money are not problems." Jiang Chun knew that he was sorry for his loss, but he never cared much about such extraneous things.

"I just want to say, thank you for taking me in these days." There is so much to be grateful for, and Jin Guang's sincerity is filled with deep loneliness, "If I hadn't met you, I must have died several times. "

"You don't have to thank me, everything is what I want." Jiang Chun frowned slightly, "It would be too farfetched to say thank you, after all, there are not many people who can still call me Zhongyue now, in the future, more It will become less and less."

Unexpectedly, he would think this way, Jin Guang pursed his lips, feeling the same dull pain in his heart.

"In the past, my father would call me Zhongyue, and later it was Shizi and the princess. Shizi's voice is the best voice I have ever heard. He called Zhongyue, and I couldn't get enough of the gentleness and gentleness. At that time, I thought I could live forever Be his covenant, who knows that once the world changes—even if it seems to have nothing to do with you—it can easily shatter your dreams." Jiang Chun smiled wryly, the sound of wheels running over was like time running over The voice brought him into the time and space, whether it is long or short, "The word Zhongyue is simply the legacy of Jinghua Academy, and it is one of the memories I left in Chu State. I never dreamed that I I will succeed Duke Qi and stand at the pinnacle of the Principality, who will dare to call me Zhong Yue in the future?"

It turned out that he was hiding such thoughts. He seemed to be busy all the way and didn't miss Chu State at all. In fact, he just kept himself busy so that he wouldn't go back impulsively, right?His mind was calm and heavy, but his honest heart had nowhere to rest.Jin Guang was silent for a long time, facing such grief, he couldn't say a word of comfort.

"But I'm still much better than Brother Ziming!" Jiang Chun suddenly laughed, the same wry smile, also laughing at Jin Guang's life, "At least I don't have to hide around, bear innocent grievances, and always hang around to die .”

"What happened when I was alive, so why not die?" Jin Guang had already read it, but there was something he couldn't let go of, "When I see my brother this time, everything should be over."

The convoy arrived at Wangcheng at dusk. Qi Gong's post house was on the east side of the palace city. Jiang Chun stayed here and cleaned up briefly. Although he knew that it was inconvenient to enter the palace at this time, he invited the guards at the gate to report , decided to take a gamble.

The tall palace wall separates the two worlds. Jin Guang still wears a fence and follows Jiang Chun. Duke Qi's guard of honor is withdrawn. Jiang Chun only brings Jin Guang with him. Loyalty, in fact, is for you to know me, to keep absolute secrecy.

"Qi Gongrong, His Majesty has already rested and does not want to see guests."

Knowing that this would be the result, Jiang Chun looked back at Jin Guang, and begged again: "There is really something important to discuss. It's only past Xu, how could His Majesty rest so early? Please pass on the message again."

Although the guards were reluctant to make another trip, they had no choice but to go as ordered by Duke Qi.Looking up at the high palace wall, Jiang Chun caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Jin Guang, who had been silent all this time, had already clenched his sleeves tightly with one hand, and those folds revealed his nervousness one by one.

It's like this again, he thought it was because his elder brother didn't want to see him, so he used the guards to send him away, but now he is more and more sure, his elder brother was a emptied emperor at the time, and now he is even more of an evaded emperor, manipulating from behind A powerful official decides who he "should" meet, and a puppet, it is useless to see anyone.

But he had to see his brother today, and he had long nights and dreams, and when the sun rose tomorrow, he didn't know what would happen in this rapidly changing situation.Passing the customs today is already very risky, and it is not certain who the Qinglong gatekeeper will be. What if he just pretends to accept Jiang Chun's bribe, but turns around and reports the latest news to his master, then tomorrow, it will be too late up.

Jin Guang's hands holding his sleeves began to tremble, and when the guard ran over, a drop of cold sweat dripped quietly from his forehead.

"Qi Gong, His Majesty is indeed resting, please come back tomorrow."

"How unreasonable!" Seeing Jin Guang's pale face under the fence, Jiang Chun scolded the guards in a hurry, "Qi State pays the most annual tribute to Wangcheng every year! How many years has Chu State owed tribute? The state simply sent troops to put the Son of Heaven under house arrest, and the State of Qin never took the Son of Heaven seriously! Among the four princes in the world, the only one who guards the rituals of being a minister is Duke Qi! , how can the emperor's position be so easily secured?"

Jiang Chun, who has always been gentle, played a rogue, even Jin Guang was shocked, and the guard was even more frightened.What he said are indeed facts that have not been easily revealed by others. He did not intend to give the emperor any face, and continued to yell: "I am a dignified Duke of Qi. I came to thank you with good intentions and good intentions without bringing a soldier. Thank you, let the man with the sword come back to reject me! Before Xuzheng arrives, the emperor rests early, and I, Duke Qi, approve official documents every day, often all night long, burning ointment and following the sundial, and calming the east for the emperor, although I dare not say my merits However, the emperor doesn't even give this little face! It seems that we need to go back to rectify the soldiers and horses, and our country of Qi will no longer recognize this emperor!"

After Jiang Chun scolded, he turned around and left, leaving the stunned crowd behind. Jin Guang couldn't move. Jiang Chun had walked three steps away, and saw the door of the palace wall opened wide, and the servant inside raised his voice and preached. : "Duke Qi stay! Your Majesty declares Duke Qi to come!"

Although he was secretly happy, his face was still covered with frost. The guards moved away the weapons blocking the way, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look. Jiang Chun rubbed shoulders with the dazed Jin Guang, and strode into the hall.Jin Guang didn't dare to be dazed anymore, and immediately recovered his senses and followed.

He didn't dare to look up not only because of etiquette, but also because he was afraid that he would cry out when he saw his brother. Jin Guang tried to adjust his breathing, but he felt his throat was choked up, and he followed Jiang Chun unconsciously. Pure one voice.

"The minister Jiang Chun pays his respects to His Majesty."

"Zhongyue, what's the matter with you, are you going to give me face by saying those things outside!" Jin You frowned, feeling very helpless, and waved his hand for Ci to sit down.

"There is indeed an urgent matter, and it is an urgent matter that His Majesty is willing to hear." Jiang Chun straightened up, moved to one side and sat down.

"You have always been cautious in doing things, but today is so unusual, don't tell me it's just for thanking you." Jin You didn't believe in any "urgent matter". He, an emperor who didn't hear anything outside the window, could be involved in any major event.

"Of course it's not just for thanking you." Jiang Chun looked at Jin Guang who couldn't help but tremble since he came in, "The minister brought someone to His Majesty, and His Majesty must want to see him."

"Who?" Jin You didn't believe that there was someone he wanted to see very much, followed Jiang Chun's gaze to look over, only to notice that he brought in a thin and small attendant.

Looking up at the servants in the room, Jiang Chun was puzzled: "Your Majesty, please stand back."

It seemed that he had some plans in his heart, Jin You flicked his sleeves blankly, and the servants all retreated quietly.

The power fence was slowly lifted, and the small face covered by the curtain was revealed, much thinner and paler than the impression, but it was clearly a face that was too familiar.

Jin You stood up in shock, his voice trembling in disbelief.

"Little Light?"
