As soon as the Shangsi Festival is over, the weather is getting hotter, and there are signs of early summer.

After the princess learned that Xiao Yuan had a fiancée, or even his fiancée had passed away, she was very indifferent to how attentive she was to Xiao Yuan before, and even turned a blind eye to Xiao Yuan, not paying attention at all.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of April, and the lecture of Mr. Wang Tingxiao, a master of Confucianism, came to an end. In order to celebrate the end of the lecture, the Langya Wang family specially prepared to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May with all the princes of the aristocratic family.

Naturally, the princess doesn't need Gu Junci's guard to live in Wang's mansion, so he is happy to stay at Langya Beiyuan.

Twilight gradually enveloped the earth, and half of the sky against the glow of the sky was full of fiery red.

Gu Junci was holding his saber Bai Ze in his arms, and just after he left the courtyard, he saw Lu Qingxuan approaching him in a panic.

He came forward and grabbed Gu Junci's hand and dragged it out without any explanation. Gu Junci kicked his feet and threw a heavy weight. No matter how hard Lu Qingxuan tried, he never moved a single step.

Gu Junci patted Lu Qingxuan on the shoulder: "Brother Lu, where are you taking me?"

Lu Qingxuan just slapped his forehead, and smiled naively: "Brother Gu, if you don't ask me, I forgot. When I came back, I met the son of the Pei family. He asked me to send you a message, saying that the second son of Xiao is in the back mountain. Ya is waiting for you, saying that I can go too."

Gu Junci frowned slightly: "Qifengya? Where are you going and what are you going to do?"

Lu Qingxuan couldn't help saying, and pulled Gu Junci to continue walking: "Don't worry about it so much, you will know when you go."

However, they had just taken two steps when they bumped into Xie Suiyun. Xie Suiyun's expression was always unkind. This sudden appearance scared Lu Qingxuan away and hid beside Gu Junci, very dissatisfied:

"You make no sound when you walk."

Xie Suiyun took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, and Lu Qingxuan took a step back: "What are you afraid of? A guilty conscience?"

Lu Qingxuan pursed his lips, and muttered something in a low voice, even Gu Junci didn't understand, but he didn't need to think about it, Lu Qingxuan was always afraid of him, and this was going to see Xiao Yuan, so naturally it was not easy to talk directly to Xie Suiyun explain.

Gu Junci was not afraid of him anyway, and he didn't hide it: "Second Young Master Xiao is waiting for me at Qifengya, I'll go now."

After hearing this, Xie Suiyun frowned, and turned sideways to make way, making Lu Qingxuan and Gu Junci's faces full of doubts.

Mr. Xie changed his temper today?Not only did he not choke, but he also gave way.

The more Gu Junci thought about it, the more confused he became, but just after taking two steps, he found that Xie Suiyun was following up, Gu Junci turned his head and looked at him in puzzlement:

"Why are you still following?"

Xie Suiyun slightly raised his head: "Why, you built this road, and it still has your name? I want to leave."

Gu Junci pursed his lips and said nothing, turned around and dragged Lu Qingxuan to Qifengya, ignoring the people behind him.

On Qifeng Cliff shrouded in twilight, the colors of the distant mountains gradually melted into the night, and only the sight of the bright light in the sky became clearer and clearer.

Xiao Yuan and Pei Sheng, who were dressed in white, were squatting in front of the cliff at the moment, as if they were sorting out something.

Gu Junci and Lu Qingxuan quickened their pace and ran over quickly.

Xiao Yuan stopped the Kongming lantern that had been shaken off in his hand, turned his head and looked at Gu Junci and the others who walked in, but when his eyes fell on Xie Suiyun, the smile that had just appeared on the corner of his lips disappeared immediately, and he got up and bowed to them:

"I didn't know that you two came so fast, let alone that Mr. Xie came back."

Xie Suiyun came with his hands behind his back, his expression was full of non-cutting, he looked at the Kongming lantern on the ground and even sneered: "I thought Second Young Master Xiao had something serious to do, so it turned out that he was making such a child's stuff."

Xiao Yuan smiled back and did not choke with him. When he turned around, Gu Junci had already taken the Kongming Lantern he had arranged for himself, and he was smiling at Xiao Yuan at this moment:

"I don't know how to fix this, you can do it yourself, this is mine."

Xiao Yuan flicked up his clothes and squatted down again to arrange the other Kongming lantern, but the silent Pei Sheng held the Kongming lantern at the moment and looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile: "Don't say that Mr. Xie said it, even I want to ask, Your birthday gift is as simple as that, just put a few Kongming lanterns?"

Hearing Pei Sheng mention the word birthday, Gu Junci quickly looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise: "Your birthday? Why didn't you tell me in advance, I didn't even prepare a gift."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said: "The birthday is long past, today I just want to put the Kongming lanterns, just looking for a reason."

Gu Junci asked: "When is your birthday, I will definitely prepare a gift for you next year."

Xiao Yuan looked back at Gu Junci: "March [-]th."

Gu Junci silently remembered Xiao Yuan's birthday, he couldn't help but frowned, looked at the pen and ink at hand, quickly took it, and carefully wrote the birthday blessing on the Kongming lantern:

May Xiao Yuan live a healthy and safe life.

Xiao Yuan stared at Gu Junci who was writing seriously, the radiance in his eyes and the smile on his lips made him unable to move his eyes away.

Xie Suiyun stood quietly behind them, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this Xiao Yuan was very obtrusive, and even his sight was involuntarily dangerous.

After Gu Junci wrote the greeting, he let it fly with his own hands. Watching the Kongming Lantern rise slowly, the glowing fire carried Gu Junci's most sincere instructions, getting farther and farther away, and getting closer and closer to the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Sheng and Lu Qingxuan's Kongming lanterns also wrote blessings and let them fly. When it was finally Xiao Yuan's turn, there was nothing written on his Kongming lanterns.

Gu Junci looked at him suspiciously: "Have you not made up your birthday wish yet?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Gu Junci for a long while, and then he picked up a pen and wrote a word: Ann.

Whether the country is prosperous and the people are safe, or life is safe, or wishing relatives and friends peace and happiness, are all included in Xiao Yuan's word, and then they are released into the sky, seeing the little lights gradually disappearing into the sky, only then do they realize that it is already too late up.

"After setting off the Kongming lanterns, it's time to go back. Otherwise, brother Chaozong will exercise his elder brother's rights again." Pei Sheng looked at the sky for a long time and said with his hands on his hips.

Xiao Yuan nodded, turned around together with Gu Junci and the others, and left Qifengya.

Gu Junci: "I didn't ask just now, how old are you, Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Yuan pondered for a while, and then said: "Well... Seventeen."

Gu Junci paused, and looked at Xiao Yuan in front of him in disbelief, his mind was full of the appearance when he met him on Zhishugang.

At that time, Xiao Yuan was only 16 years old?

Xiao Yuan coughed lightly: "Brother Gu, why don't you speak?"

Gu Junci was stunned for a moment, then raised his lips and smiled: "No, I just thought that I am older than you."

Xiao Yuan didn't take it seriously, but just walked along, Lu Qingxuan and Pei Sheng enthusiastically discussed some interesting things about the Kongming lanterns before, only Xiao Yuan and the others remained silent.

Suddenly, dancing lanterns and candles appeared on the mountain road ahead, and several people rushed over, causing them to stop and wait for the group of people to approach.

The servant at the head holding the lantern asked anxiously: "Have you seen Second Young Master Xiao and Young Master Xie?"

Xie Suiyun took a step forward: "What do you want from me?"

As soon as they heard Xie Suiyun's voice, the servants hurriedly took the nearby candles, looked at the people in front of them carefully, and then said in a panic: "Young masters, go down the mountain and go to the mansion, there are people coming from the border. Right now, I am waiting for the two young masters in the main hall."

The servant's tone was flustered, and he couldn't tell what he meant by what he said.

What is the relationship between the people from the border and Xie Suiyun and Xiao Yuan, why should they wait for them?

Xiao Yuan and Xie Suiyun looked at each other, and it was too late to give orders, a group of five hurried down the mountain with the servant who came to find someone, and went back to Wang's mansion.

At this moment, in the main hall of Wang's mansion, the princess was comforted by Xiao Shunhua, her eyebrows lowered and shedding tears, and Wang's mistress was still standing beside her.

Another soldier in armor was standing in the main hall with his head bowed. The whole family of the Wang family was also waiting in the main hall, waiting for the servants to bring him back.

The crescent moon was rising, and the five young masters came under the moonlight under the leadership of the servants. As soon as they entered the main hall, the soldier in armor bowed to Xie Suiyun on one knee, and said in a panic: "Young master, under the order of the prime minister, please Young master border line."

Xie Suiyun frowned, and couldn't help asking: "What happened to my father? When did he go to the border!"

The soldier hurriedly said: "It's not the prime minister, it's...it's His Majesty! Your Majesty is trapped in Hanyang Pass, and the Rong and Di soldiers are watching. Please hurry to Hanyang Pass to rescue him."

The soldier spoke anxiously, not only Xie Suiyun, but the others were also at a loss, and then Wang Tingru explained the matter eloquently.

In mid-April, the emperor felt that there was nothing new about the Luoyang Peony Fair every year, so on a whim, he left the government and went to inspect the border with the prime minister.

However, just three days ago, the emperor's whereabouts were leaked, and the soldiers and soldiers of Di Rongdi approached Hanyang Pass, trapping the emperor in Hanyang Pass, and even cut off the backup road, intending to kill the emperor before marching into the Central Plains.

The soldier who came to report the letter also escaped after a narrow escape, and came to Langya to deliver the letter.

After hearing this sentence, Xie Suiyun turned around and walked out, but was grabbed by Gu Junci.

Xie Suiyun said angrily: "What are you stopping me for? Didn't you hear that His Majesty is in danger at the border, and I'm going to rescue him."

Gu Junci looked back at him calmly: "Do you want to fight against Rongdi's soldiers alone? I'm afraid that if you can't save him, you will take your life for nothing!"

Xie Suiyun: "Then what do you say!"

The princess was sobbing and crying, which made Gu Junci quickly cast his gaze at her, and then calmly said:

"Right now we don't know if Hanyang Pass has gone to the reinforcements. Second Young Master Xiao, Lanling is the closest to Langya. Please go back to Lanling and ask Liang Guogong to send troops to rescue him. Princess, don't worry, my subordinates will go to Hanyang Pass with Xie Suiyun to rescue them first. Drive, stabilize people's hearts, and hold on until Liang Guogong arrives with reinforcements."

Xiao Yuan looked sideways at Gu Junci for a long while, and then bowed to Pei Sheng: "Lanling, I would like to ask Ah Sheng, Brother Ah and this soldier brother to go, since we want to stabilize people's hearts in Hanyang Pass, It’s always good to have one more person to help.”

Gu Junci was a little surprised: "You want to go too?"
