Lock Xin

There are many bright candles burning in the main hall, reflecting brightly, like daytime, as if separated from the night outside the window.

The noisy sound was extremely harsh, and the smell of spirits was very strong.There were people coming and going wandering around the table, wine stains were faintly left on the shiny clothes.

A dark gray figure sat in the corner, staring blankly at the dishes on the table, his delicate face was full of loneliness.Wang Mo picked up the wine glass on the table and sniffed it. The strong smell was extremely pungent, so he put it aside.

Wang Mo looked at the smoked and roasted mutton slices on the table. Although his stomach was extremely hungry, he had lost any appetite. He used chopsticks to pick up some stir-fried seasonal vegetables and put them in his mouth to fill his stomach for the time being.

Wang Mo looked sideways at the night sky outside the window, the noise of toasting in his ears had already numb his brain, he propped his chin with one hand, his eyes were blurred, his upper and lower eyelids were getting closer and closer, and there was only a gap to connect with each other .

A gust of cold wind blew past, and Wang Mo's body trembled violently. He rubbed his eyes vigorously. He didn't know what time it was. It might take a long time until the palace banquet was over, but he couldn't stay any longer.Wang Mo got up and looked at the crowd who were laughing heartily, he had better take the opportunity to sneak out.

The wine jug fell on the table and slid down the edge of the table, smashing into pieces and splashing the wine, but the crisp sound was suppressed in the complication, and no one around him turned back.Gai Xiong was lying on the side of the table, his blue eyes were mixed with a touch of sadness, and his face was wet from the wine.He picked up the empty wine jar at the side and poured it in his mouth, but did not pour out a drop of liquid. He smashed the wine jar to the ground, stood up slowly, and staggered towards the distance.

Gai Xiong was walking among the crowd, and accidentally bumped into someone, even if he smiled casually, no one would care.He vaguely saw a thin figure in the distance, stopped abruptly, and opened his eyes wide, the confusion in his eyes dissipated a bit.

As if he was afraid that the person in the distance would disappear, Gai Xiong pushed away the person in front of him and quickly ran over. He reached out and grabbed the person's sleeve, "Xiao Xie, it's great that you are still alive."

Wang Mo originally wanted to escape the guards and sneak out, but he didn't expect to sneak to the door and was discovered by the guards. He stood there in a daze and didn't dare to move. It seems that the master never said that no one is allowed to advance at the banquet. leave.

"I thought you were dead." Gai Xiong hugged Wang Mo's shoulders, his eyes were a little moist, that day he saw Xiao Xie fell in his arms, and buried Xiao Xie with great grief.But he didn't expect that after many years, he would meet Xiao Xie in the Xiongnu.

Wang Mo was held tightly by Gai Xiong, feeling suffocated in his chest and lungs, he pushed the people around him hard.Wang Mo felt something was wrong when he heard the voice next to his ear, he tried his best to raise his head and saw Gai Xiong's face, with surprise in his eyes, could it be that he hasn't let himself go.

"Who saved you, Xiao Xie, and how did you get to the Huns?" Gai Xiong felt that the stature in his arms was a bit small. It was impossible for Xiao Xie not to grow up after so many years, and it was true that Xiao Xie lost too much blood that day And without breathing, how could he come back to life again? Gai Xiong's excited mood gradually calmed down.

Gai Xiong let go of his arms and looked at the handsome face in his arms, with some disappointment in his eyes, "How could it be you." It was because he thought too much, Xiao Xie was dead and would never be resurrected, and he couldn't help the life-saving grace. Paying off.

Wang Mo glared at Gai Xiong, "I still want to ask why it was you, but you suddenly pounced on me when I was walking well, and said some strange things, are you drunk and mistaken for someone?"

Gai Xiong's hair is disheveled now, his face is full of wine stains, and his appearance is no different from that of a drunkard.

"I'm not drunk." Gai Xiong said coldly, but he likes the feeling of being drunk, he can forget all the painful and sad things.

The night wind was a bit chilly, blowing Wang Mo's thin clothes, the coolness seemed to soak into his bones, he pulled the neckline slightly, turned and walked forward.

"Stop." Gai Xiong looked at the thin figure in front of him, he really looked like Xiao Xie. That handsome young man had saved him many times, but he still passed away because of him. Bleeding and powerless.

"Isn't the incident of that day over?" Wang Mo stopped and looked at Gai Xiong, the Lord's attitude towards His Highness was only a thought, and he didn't want His Highness to be punished for his fault.

"Okay, it was my fault that day. No matter how you punish me, you can, but please don't report this matter to the Lord." Wang Mo lowered his head slightly. He had to bow his head in a foreign country, but he only hoped that His Highness would be safe. good.

"It's not that matter." Looking at Wang Mo's serious face, Gai Xiong felt a little funny, he had almost forgotten it, but it was just what he said casually, but Wang Mo actually remembered it in his heart.He goes to court every day to discuss political affairs with the lord and not to play games with children, so he has no intention of suing a servant.

"What I said just now, you'd better rot in your stomach and don't mention it to anyone." Gai Xiong looked into Wang Mo's eyes, with a hint of threat in his voice.

He is the eldest son of Concubine Gai Zhengfei. He has struggled for many years before he climbed to the position of general from a soldier. He will never let anyone know his background.If the people in the court knew everything about his life in the Central Plains, he would probably have nothing, and even the Lord would not be able to keep his identity.

Perhaps these are very unfair to the person who gave birth to him, but Gai Xiong can't remember his face clearly, he can only vaguely remember the person's pale complexion and the palm on his shoulder.The warmth of childhood is too far away, and only the cruel struggle is imprinted in Gai Xiong's heart.

Wang Mo was stunned for a moment, what Gai Xiong said just now, he could only vaguely hear a few vague words, it didn't seem to be an important matter.

"Don't try to threaten me. Do you think anyone will believe what you say with your humble status?" Gai Xiong looked at Wang Mo coldly, maybe he misread this weak-looking Central Plains native.

"I didn't hear what you said just now, so why threaten you?" Wang Mo looked at the anger that suddenly burst out on Gai Xiong's face.Could it be that Gai Xiong had encountered something unsatisfactory just now, and wanted to treat him as a venting bucket.

"If you want to take the opportunity to punish me, just say so, you don't need to beat around the bush like this." Wang Mo said angrily, if it wasn't for His Highness, he wouldn't have stayed and suffered this kind of anger.

Gai Xiong looked at Wang Mo and felt that he didn't seem to be lying deliberately, so he nodded slightly, maybe he was too suspicious, he just said a few fragmented words, even if outsiders heard it, it wouldn't be a big deal.Gai Xiong let go of his slightly uneasy heart.

"Why do you really want me to punish you?" Gai Xiong looked at Wang Mo standing in front of him, as if he was waiting for his order to punish.

"You are powerful, can I say no?" Wang Mo glared at Gai Xiong, he really shouldn't have sneaked out just now, otherwise he wouldn't have met Gai Xiong who deliberately made things difficult for him.

"The Huns are not barbarians as you think in the Central Plains. We also follow the legal system. As long as you make no mistakes, I can't punish you." Gai Xiong said calmly. He seemed to think that Wang Mo had imagined him as a Reckless bandit robbers.Anyway, he has half of the blood of the Central Plains, and he is also contaminated with some elegance.

"Then can I leave now?" Wang Mo opened his mouth and asked, he didn't care what Gai Xiong said.

"Yes." Gai Xiong nodded, looking at the familiar figure from behind, he couldn't bear to make things difficult for Wang Mo anymore.

"You went to the wrong room. Over there is the resting room in the Xiongnu Palace for the banquet ministers." Gai Xiong couldn't help but reminded that if Wang Mo went to the wrong room, he might be severely punished.

"Impossible." Wang Mo insisted, he remembered that he lived in such a small room, and it must be Gai Xiong who wanted to play tricks on him again.

Wang Mo turned around and looked at the rows of rooms around him. Under the faint moonlight, there was no difference at all.He took a closer look and they all looked alike, but it wasn't the same row he walked through during the day.

"How could this be?" Wang Mo was suddenly confused, he stood there and didn't know where to go.

"I'm lost." Gai Xiong looked at Wang Mo's blank eyes, stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, he was a little cute, and couldn't help but move a few steps closer to him. "You are the prince brought by Da Chu, and you don't even know the way. How do you train on weekdays?"

"Who doesn't know the way?" Wang Mo was a little ashamed. The Huns' palace was full of winding corridors. He had only walked it once, and he remembered it clearly.

"Then why don't you leave?" Through Wang Mo's face, Gai Xiong seemed to see the childhood of him and Xiao Xie, without any worries, but the moment he stepped into the Huns, everything in the past was no longer possible. gone back.He would rather stay in the Central Plains to live, but this is his choice, and there will be no turning back.

"I want to stand here and look at the moon." Wang Mo looked up at the sky. Isn't it the same that he waited until dawn before leaving.

Gai Xiong turned around slowly and pretended to be gloomy and said, "At night, there will be a pack of wolves passing by in the Huns' court. When they see you staying here alone, they may treat you as a snack."

Wang Mo felt a sudden chill in his heart, he couldn't help taking two steps back, "I'm not afraid of wolves."

"Well, you stay here, I'm going back." Gai Xiong walked forward, he stopped abruptly, "Since you want to go, follow, I don't like people sneaking behind I'm behind you." He didn't expect Wang Mo to be so young, and his lightness kung fu is still good.

Wang Mo nodded, and walked beside Gai Xiong, he looked sideways at Gai Xiong, with some doubts in his eyes, Gai Xiong treated him very badly at the beginning, why did he suddenly want to help him, is it really because of Xiao Xie .

Gai Xiong saw that Wang Mo had been following him in a daze, without even noticing that he had passed by, "You should know the way by now."

Wang Mo nodded.

"Go back quickly. There are too many similar rooms in the Huns' court, and it's hard to identify them at night. It's better for you to go out less at night." Gai Xiong sighed slightly. He thought he had forgotten what happened many years ago, but he didn't expect to remember Everything in the past is still vivid.
