Be an official

When a leaf falls, the world knows autumn.

After the beginning of autumn, the weather was still very hot, Shao Yan was practicing sword in the courtyard, Jiang Xing and Jiang Yue stared at him excitedly, and wrote down every move.

Shao Yan doesn't often use swords, but weapons are the extension of his hands. On the battlefield, using weapons can prevent himself from being injured. His sword is sharp, and every move is designed to kill the enemy.

However, he could not often use force. The people around the emperor were the more powerless civil servants, the better. Just like in the court, the civil servants were always closer to the emperor than the military officials, and closer to the emperor.

After all, no one under [-] people wants to have a powerful courtier by his side who can make him see blood anytime, anywhere.

Uncommonly, he tied up all his long hair, changed into a long robe, and wore a neat military uniform. The dark embroidered belt outlined a thin and powerful waist, and his slender figure was full of fierce aura.

Hearing the applause, Chen Huanluo stopped for a moment in front of Shaoyan's courtyard, looking through the dense bamboo grove to see the man in black flying lightly among the greenery.

As soon as he stopped, he regretted it.

When Shao Yan saw him, he immediately rushed towards him with a smile, hooked the branches of the old tree with his back feet, and hung him upside down from top to bottom. Before Chen Huanluo could run away, he grabbed his belt and picked him up. Stepping on the tree trunk to borrow strength, he jumped onto the roof.

"Ah—let go—"

Chen Huanluo tightly grasped the driftwood closest to him in mid-air - Shao Yan.

Shao Yan took the opportunity to hold him in his arms, touched his waist a few dishonestly with both hands, and led Chen Huanluo to jump to the roof, looking into the distance with the wind.

Shao Yan put him on the beam and stepped on the ground with his feet, so he patted his fast-beating chest with wide eyes, and pushed Shao Yan violently with one hand, Shao Yan staggered back, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Chen Huanluo He pulled him into his arms again, and said with a smile, "Ah, I'm so scared, I almost fell to my death just now, Huan Luo, you are so cruel, if I get hurt, why don't you come here?" take care of me"

Chen Huanluo was so angry, but there was only one wide place under his feet, he stared and said coldly, "Shao Yan! Let me go!"

Shao Yan blinked, leaned closer to him, tilted his head, pulled his waist into himself, and said, "It's the first time I've heard you call my name. Well...my lord's prime minister can hold a boat, so forgive you Come on, look, the capital of Kunqian is very beautiful, have you ever seen such a Kungan?"

Following the direction of Shaoyan's finger, the light evening breeze blows, carrying the heat of late summer and the coolness of early autumn, as if the capital is right under your feet, and the temple hidden under the dense green willow branches stands in the east. The gray and solemn city walls, quiet and quiet palaces, bustling streets, lively alleys, the sound of pianos and flutes from singing and dancing buildings scattered in the city from the wind, with the gentleness of the breeze supporting the willows.

"It's beautiful", Chen Huanluo murmured in a low voice.

Shao Yan's deep voice rang in his ears, and he said, "Do you imagine that one day the people here will be displaced, and the ten rooms and nine empties will turn into a purgatory on earth?"

Chen Huanluo's heart twitched suddenly.

"On the city wall there, veterans will raise their flags every day, and then the common people's day will begin. The oil cakes bought from the front and rear burdens of the old people who carry their burdens in the streets and alleys are burnt and crispy, and they are full of fragrance after eating one bite. There, the towering royal temple, the morning province rings the bell, and the bell sounds through the mist, which can make people calm and calm. And there, on that street, the willow trees along the way will scatter catkins all over the city in spring, there, outside the city In the middle of the mountainside of the village, pink and tender peach blossoms bloom all over the mountain in season, a sea of ​​flowers. In winter, when it snows, the capital is covered in silver like a fairyland.”

Chen Huanluo said in a low voice, "I've never seen it before."

"As long as you want, I can take you to see it. As long as Kun Qian is still there, these beautiful scenery will never disappear."

Chen Huanluo suddenly raised his head and stared at Shao Yan, with panic in his indifferent eyes. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "I haven't seen what you said before."

His voice drifted in the wind, "I have only seen the desolation of the mountains, the road bandits, burning, killing and looting, no one cares, no one asks! I have only seen women who were forced into the red building, and they have to spend their whole lives. Suffering humiliation! I have only seen that a newborn child will be marked as a slave forever, and cannot be turned over for life! I have only seen that a wronged person cannot be redressed, a family cannot be returned, and a relative cannot be recognized—"

Shao Yan suddenly pressed him into his arms, comforted the trembling person, hugged him tightly in his arms, let him listen to his heartbeat, feel the warm body temperature, he couldn't speak to comfort him, couldn't Tell him that this kind of thing will happen in every dynasty, it is impossible for the world to be clear, it is impossible... But what is the use of saying these things.

Chen Huanluo pushed away his embrace, lowered his eyes and said hoarsely, "I want to go down."

"it is good."

The night fell and the stars fell.

In Shao Yan's room, the candle lights were still off, and the window moved slightly. Shao Yan opened the window, and Qu He turned over and crawled in, shaking the leaves on his body, "Master, are you looking for me?"

"Well, I asked you to check Huan Luo's life experience, have you found it?"

Qu He kept rolling his eyes in his sockets, and rubbed his hands, "Master, I only found out that he grew up in Nanmu Mountain and studied medicine there since he was a child. Nanmu Mountain is in the western border of the country."

"Nanmu Mountain...is almost half a Kunqian away from the capital, why did he come all the way to the capital?" Shao Yan said to himself, thinking of what Huan Luo said today——

If there is a grievance, it cannot be redressed, if there is a family, it cannot be returned, and if there is a relative, it cannot be recognized.

"What kind of grievance case happened in Nan Mushan?"

"The people sent by my subordinates did not find out. There is a village at the foot of the mountain. It is said that it is a paradise. There are medical huts and temples on the mountain, and the people are healthy. There are no bandits in the mountain."

Shao Yan pondered, "He studied medicine on the mountain since he was a child, but is there anyone else in his family?"

Hearing Shao Yan mention this, Qu He said helplessly, "Master, the people sent said that Mr. Chen seemed to be an orphan since he was a child and was sent by others. There are many children like him in the medical hut, so... not uncommon”

Shao Yan squeezed between his brows, nodded, and said, "Let someone check who he often contacts with in Nanmu Mountain, and... how he gets along with the people in the medical hut."

"Yes."
