Murong Yi

The emperor doted on my mother very much, so he agreed to the request of my mother and concubine. When I was five years old, I was sent to learn martial arts under the famous master of Hancang Mountain Pass in the Jianghu.The mother and concubine hoped that I could stay away from the royal power struggle, but I didn't expect that in the end I would go against her wishes.I spent 13 years of carefree life in Hancang Mountain. Until eight years ago, when my father passed away, I was still practicing sword against Muyun Guiniao on Hancang Mountain in Southwest Yunzhou.After learning the bad news, I disregarded my master's obstruction and went down the mountain alone, all the way north, and what I saw along the way was all shocking.That year, natural disasters continued, rivers burst their embankments, epidemics prevailed, and the people were starved of food and displaced. In the past, the bustling town was empty.I endured the pain in my heart, and changed three flying horses a day. I just wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible. One is to see my father for the last time, and the other is to report the disaster situation in the southwest states according to the facts, so as to obtain relief supplies and kill local officials. In exchange for peace in the world.

Unexpectedly, the prince didn't think of brotherhood at all, and sent people to intercept and chase him along the way. Although my martial arts skills were higher than ordinary people in the Jianghu at that time, my two fists were no match for four hands. I was forced to swallow poison and fell off the cliff.Fortunately, he was rescued by the big brother who was worried about returning to Beijing alone and chasing after him.Although his life was saved, 13 years of martial arts were lost.

Afterwards, all kinds of twists and turns are difficult to describe.Senior brother treats me very well on weekdays, just like my real elder brother.If I had known that I would not only have exhausted my elder brother to travel thousands of miles, but also ended up with a dead body in a different place, I would rather never have known him.At that time, all my thoughts were in despair, and it was Xiao Liu who pulled me out of the darkness.Later, he helped me to gather people and horses, made suggestions, and even helped me ascend the throne.I have been enthroned for five years, if Xiaoliu hadn't fought side by side with me, how could we have wiped out the treacherous ministers and reorganized the government without disturbing the foundation of our country of Yan?

After some words, Murong Yi's expression was slightly concentrated, looking down at the folding fan in his hand, as if he had sunk into the past and couldn't extricate himself from it.

Huan Yue remained calm and silently followed behind Murong Ni, listening to the voice in the secret passage.

"Xiao Liu's affection for me, I can't repay even if I use all the glory and wealth in this world!" Murong Yan smiled wryly, "It's ridiculous that those old men who claim to be loyal to the country and the emperor, they can't understand, but they point fingers at Xiao Liu all day long , and even sow dissension, saying that Prince Rui Murong has a heart of disobedience! Xiaoliu is my beloved brother and even my benefactor. I just wish I could give him half of this country. What!!"

His voice suddenly rose, and there was a hint of anger on his face. He was so vicious that Huan Yue was startled: "Several factions have been involved in Lin Qian's matter this time. Xiaoliu and I thought we could take advantage of this opportunity." Following the clues, except for the hidden stake that Murong Yuan had set up before, who knows that the goal has been achieved, but Lin Qian can't be saved. I don't know what medicine Lin Qian took wrongly, and he committed suicide in prison last night, now..."

"What?! Master Lin committed suicide?!"

Huan Yue suddenly made a sound, interrupting Murong Yan's unspoken words.

The expression on his face was so shocked that he even forgot about the consequences of his abrupt behavior.

Murong Ni tapped his fan on his palm and stopped.It was only then that Huan Yue realized that, at some point, the secret path had come to an end.I saw Murong Yan skillfully groping for a few times, the cave door suddenly opened, and the bright sunlight pierced through.

"En." Murong Ni stepped out of the cave, turned around, stopped her footsteps, her voice was full of helplessness, "Now I can't wash myself off even if I jump into the Yellow River. Do you think I won't be upset?"

Huan Yue followed, with a puzzled look on his face, and his bewildered look made him chuckle inwardly: "What does Master Lin's suicide have to do with His Majesty?"

At the exit of the secret passage, one can see greenery everywhere.The tall trees cover the sky and the sun, the forest birds chirp leisurely, and the fragrance of flowers fills the heart and soul. It is an unknown garden like a fairyland on earth.

Murong Ni frowned: "If it was a few years ago, I definitely wouldn't be so worried."

He suddenly looked at Huan Yue, his eyes were sincere and vaguely fragile.

"Chonghua, isn't it true that people can share adversity but not prosperity?"

However, before Huan Yue could answer, he shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to get rid of that thought: "No, that's not the case. There is just some estrangement between Xiao Liu and Zhen... Xiao Liu will think that I did it. There's nothing wrong with that."

Huan Yue bowed his head in front of Murong Ni, and replied: "Your Majesty is too worried. As far as I know, the lord is well aware of your majesty's difficulties. I believe that even if the lord is confused for a while, the matter of Lord Lin will eventually be resolved." I will understand and understand Your Majesty."

For the past half month, Huan Yue had spoken very little, he could count on two hands a day, and most of his words were brief.Murong Yi once wondered if he was autistic, but now it seems that he just has nothing to say to himself.

Murong Ni seemed to be persuaded by Huan Yue's words, her gloomy and confused expression disappeared, she pulled Huan Yue over, moved closer, and kissed him on the forehead.

"makes sense……"

The person in Murong Yan's arms just stiffened slightly, and then relaxed his body.

On this day, Murong Yi took Huan Yue to the most famous West Market in the capital, visited the antique and utensils street near the South Gate, and ordered a table of Wuhualou's special dishes, of course, most of the tables were filled in the end. It's worth not mentioning Murong Ni's stomach.

Murong Yi had a great time shopping, everyone said that the palace is good, but he felt that this kind of wanton shopping is the real life.

Huan Yue was nominally called out by Murong Yi to relax, but his nature was hard to change. No matter how much Murong Yi used both kindness and power, he still insisted on guarding behind him.Murong Ni had seen his stubborn temper before, so she had no choice but to give up, and could only change ways to distract Huan Yue.

No, as soon as he took a bunch of candied haws from the street vendor, he turned around and looked at Huan Yue with a smile.

"I tasted this last time I went out of the palace, and I still remember it fresh... Chonghua, would you like to try it?"

When he came to the street, Murong Yi changed his address and no longer referred to himself as "Zhen". I don't know if it was an illusion or what, it was just a self-proclaimed name, and the innate deterrence on Murong Yi disappeared.Among the hustle and bustle of the crowd, those obsidian-like deep eyes were shining with a brilliant luster of glass color, as if they had absorbed all the brilliance in the world, captivating their souls.

Looking at the bright red candied haws in front of him, Huan Yue was stunned. He had only seen and heard of it before, but he had never wandered in the busy city like now, enjoying the breeze blowing by, and the noise was heard in his ears. Lively human voices, closely observe the things in front of you.

"This is... candied... gourd...?"

His voice was mixed with some cautious questions, and disappeared in the suddenly raised voice of the peddler: "Candied haws—!! Candied haws—!!"

The answer is self-evident, Huan Yue felt that the heat somewhere on his face exceeded the surrounding skin, he looked away a little embarrassed, but stopped in the midst of a sudden snicker.

"Well, try it."

Murong Ni naturally took Huan Yue's hand, stuffed the thing in, and then turned around hastily, as if trying to cover up something.

Of course, turning around can only hide the expression, but it can't eliminate the still continuous sniggering.

He looked at the thing in his hand for a while, as if it was some kind of poison that needed serious research, after a long time, he finally opened his mouth and bit it down, as if a righteous man was going to die.

In the next moment, the strange mixed taste of sweet and sour was sent to the brain along the taste nerve on the tongue.

People who have been familiar with dry food and meals with the same taste in the past ten years, this is the first time they have tasted this taste that is no stranger to ordinary children.

Murong Yi turned around at some point, quietly staring at the man standing there holding a candied haws that had a strange temperament to him, with a faint smile perched on the corner of his lips.

Huan Yue, who suddenly came back to his senses, was once again taken away by the handsome face under the few strands of hair fluttering in the wind.

——Sure enough, he is a handsome man...

The thoughts that flashed through my mind quickly disappeared without a trace.

The two of them slipped out of the palace since Sishi, and more than two hours have passed since Weishi.Looking at the sky, although he still had the interest to continue walking, Murong Yi also lost the idea of ​​continuing because of the tired look on Huan Yue's face that was well concealed but still couldn't escape his eyes.

After ordering Huan Yue, Murong Yan led the way to the place where he came out just now.

After a short walk with a clear goal, the number of pedestrians on the road has gradually decreased. The distance from the busy city is one reason, and the place where rich businessmen gather is also the reason.

As he was walking, Huan Yue suddenly frowned and kept his footsteps. He lowered his voice and murmured: "Your Majesty, something is not right."

Murong Ni obviously heard it, and Huan Yue knew it.Because as far as he looked at it, even though it was small, the handsome man in front of him really lowered his eyes after hearing his words just now.

Huan Yue couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

This time when the two of them went out, Murong Yi gave an order not to allow any of the Seventeen Guards to follow them secretly, otherwise they will bear the consequences.However, judging from the fact that he didn't find anyone following him until now, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.But right now, he has just recovered from his internal injuries, so it is not impossible to protect an emperor who has lost his martial arts, but it seems difficult to get out of his body.

Murong Ni was calm beyond Huan Yue's expectations, and there was no trace of panic in his turned eyes.If he read it correctly, then there is actually a sense of relief that there is no need to worry? !

Huan Yue retreated without a trace, and at the same time put his hand on the long sword at his waist.

Murong Ni sighed and had no choice but to stop.

"His Majesty!!"

Huan Yue shouted, and the next moment, he took a deep breath.

I saw that all the pedestrians around had disappeared at some point, replaced by an assassin in black with a sharp weapon in his hand who seemed to appear out of thin air.They were all dressed in uniform, with black scarves covering their faces, revealing only a pair of eagle-like eyes, with a ruthless cold light, staring straight at the two people in the circle.

Murong Yan lowered his eyes slightly, and opened them suddenly before reaching the bottom.

In the field of vision, Huan Yue's figure was already wrestling with the two men in black, and the cold light intersected in an instant, and the clanging of weapons intersecting could be heard endlessly.

Although Huan Yue fought with the men in black, he never forgot the people behind him.He used his body as a shield to block all the sharp knives that were about to pierce Murong Yan. Even so, Murong Yan dodged in a panic, and his body was still red.

There are not many assassins, and their skills are not as good as Huan Yue's, but the so-called ants kill elephants, no matter how powerful Huan Yue is, with an ordinary person who not only can't help, in just a short while, cold sweat is dripping on his forehead And down.

Seeing that the white-clothed man was difficult to deal with, the black-clothed assassin retreated, and while his companion was fighting with Huan Yue, a cold light flashed, he suddenly passed Huan Yue, and stabbed straight at Murong Ni.

The sword was moving as fast as lightning, and by the time Murong Yan realized it, it was already too late.

The sharp sword cut off a few strands of Murong Ni's black hair floating in the air, and it was about to reach his chest.

"—Keng!"

There was the clash of swords and swords, followed by the sound of objects falling to the ground and sharp blades piercing into the body.

Huan Yue completely disregarded the opponent who was fighting with him, suddenly withdrew his hand, and tried his best to save him, but the sharp sword, which lost its resistance, pierced his abdomen straight and without accident.

"Chonghua...!!"

Murong Yan couldn't help shouting loudly.

At this moment, Huan Yue's long sword was in his hand, protecting Murong Ni behind his back, all the strength in his body had been gathered, his eyes were slightly narrowed, his lips were habitually pursed, his whole body exuded an intimidating suffocation, coupled with that cheetah-like Shi Shi's gaze, even the black-clothed assassin who had the upper hand, was shocked when he saw it at first glance.

"...drip...drip..."

The air seemed to be condensed in the pitch-black thick ink, and it was difficult to move. Only strange voices came to Murong Yan's ears more and more clearly each time.

He covered the left shoulder where the sword slid over with his hand, and looked towards the source of the sound.

That was the sound of bright red blood dripping onto the ground.They gurgled down along Huan Yue's sword, and after a short while, they formed a small shallow stream, converging in a small hollow on the ground.

"Quickly solve it!!"

One of the men in black, who seemed to be the leader, yelled at the assassin in front of Huan Yue, and the reproach was obvious.

As soon as his words fell, those men in black started to move, but even though he was wounded, the sword in Huan Yue's hand was still tightly protecting Murong Ni while slashing and killing the enemy.
