The prince in the cold palace

The trees became sparser the further they went to the northwest. Maybe they were lucky. They didn't encounter any pursuers along the way. They stopped and walked, and unknowingly entered the sphere of influence of the Mu family in the northwest.

The Mu family's family business is all built on the business with the outside world, relying on the well-developed business network to build a solid foundation, with this financial and material resources, they will become proud, and it is not too much to covet the most noble throne. The essence of a businessman is Seeking profit, the greater the interest, the greater the desire.

This area is similar to the country's three-way zone, because there are military fences outside and bandits and bandits inside, it is neither easy to fight nor manage.

The Mu family stood firm in such an intricate vortex of interests and power. In terms of ambition, they were no less than Rong Li.

Danhe chose an inconspicuous inn as a foothold. In order to avoid being discovered by the Mu family, they chose to travel at night and work and rest during the day. Now, Dan He has personally repaired the carriage a few times, and even filled the hole he smashed. Yin Wuyao, who is pretending to be a groom, has been regarded as a buddy by him, and he shares weal and woe. The other party is a mute who can't speak. , it is very safe.

It's just that Zhi Fei knows that it's not the groom, but Yin Wuyao who keeps staring at him.

Whenever Yin Wuyao's eyes fell on him, Zhifei would feel his whole body shudder, and he had already had a conditioned reflex towards Yin Wuyao.

Zhi Fei had been hiding from Yin Wuyao for several days, and even Danhe asked him if he had a problem with the groom in private.

Looking blankly at the blue sky, Zhi Fei also felt that he was a little nervous. He was not angry that he was being used, but he didn't know how to face Yin Wuyao.

Zhi Fei admired the emperor's talent and mind, and it was undeniable that he had taught himself a lot over the years.

I just don't know how to face him.

Zhi Fei sat by the well thoughtfully, looking at the sky reflected in the water, as if the clouds were floating on the water, when distracted, the object in his hand fell into the water with a "boom", and the clouds in the water trembled. It trembled and returned to its original state, and that thing could no longer be seen.

Zhi Fei anxiously wanted to reach out his hand to fish, but he didn't care about the depth of the water. He opened his eyes wide, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly what was under the water, but his body leaned forward to the limit.

...Is it going to just fall like this?

Faintly, I heard something like this.

He was hugged by a pair of strong arms, left the gloomy well, and the space became less oppressive. As soon as Zhi Fei took a breath, he was suddenly turned around and met a pair of angry eyes. Burning brightly, without any disguise.

Because the wet forehead was soaked in water, the tips of his hair dripped with water, and the coldness slowly took away the blood on Zhi Fei's face, making him look extremely haggard.

Yin Wuyao felt a little distressed, and said to him fiercely, "I won't allow you to die!"

As he spoke, he rubbed the person into his arms, very hard, very hard, as if once he let go, he would disappear, "Xiao Qi... Xiao Qi..."

Zhi Fei blinked his sour eyes that were soaked in water. He had never seen Yin Wuyao with such a fragile expression. He frowned and put his hands on his chest as if resisting. However, the emperor remained motionless and simply let him hug Then, the faint scent of incense floated into the nose.

After a while, Yin Wuyao slowly let go of the person, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, looked at Zhifei, and said to him seriously, "I will tell you everything, including the deployment of the past few years, and The current situation in Dazhou."

Zhi Fei lowered his head, and after a long time, he said sullenly, "Is it okay to tell me, I'm just a nominal prince."

"It used to be, but it's not anymore." Yin Wuyao raised his hand and wiped Zhi Fei's hair with his sleeve, "I want you to be the prince of the Great Zhou."

"Why must it be me?" Zhi Fei frowned. Is this another trick?

The emperor sighed, looking at the curiosity and doubt in Zhi Fei's eyes, he could easily read what he was thinking, "I have hidden many things from you, and used you to do many things, and I will know all of these things one by one." Let me tell you. As for choosing you to be the crown prince, it is not because you are used, but because you have this ability."

Zhi Fei looked at him puzzled, "Ability?"

Yin Wuyao chuckled, "Yes, Chu Jun's ability. You see, even a master like Mu Danhe can obey your orders, this is Xiao Qi's ability."

It was just a fight and a scolding, Danhe is straightforward and simple, that's why he doesn't fight and doesn't know each other, is this also called ability?

Although Yin Wuyao saw his doubts, he only looked at Zhifei's pair of obsidian-like peach blossom eyes filled with doubts, "So... don't avoid me anymore, don't be angry with me anymore, okay?" The first anger?Zhi Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was not angry, he said it as if he was the one who did something wrong.

Before Zhifei could speak, Yin Wuyao rested his head on Zhifei's neck, just like in Guangya Palace many years ago, "Forgive me..."

Smelling Zhi Fei's faint youthful smell, Yin Wuyao sighed in his heart. He knew that the reason he had made was untenable, and he also knew that he had been using Zhi Fei until the day before yesterday, but seeing Zhi Fei Being alienated from him and unwilling to get close to him made him feel angry and almost lost control.

Can't see Zhifei only smiling at Mu Danhe, and completely treating him as air.

He couldn't think of a better way to keep Zhifei by his side. Although there were so many ways, he didn't want to force Zhifei.

He couldn't even explain why he wanted to keep Zhi Fei.

Yin Wuyao began to feel that something was gradually occupying his mind, making him restless.

...Forgive me, if only it were that simple.

Zhifei couldn't forgive Yin Wuyao like he forgave Danhe.

He used women and children mercilessly.

Zhifei doesn't like the idea of ​​sacrificing a small number of people to satisfy the majority. All the politicians who were active in the political arena in their previous lives have such ugly faces and act recklessly in the name of justice.

Yin Wuyao is somewhat different from them.

He used it openly, without adding any nice gimmicks.

Yin Wuyao seemed to know what Zhifei was thinking, and tightened his grip, "I did a lot of ridiculous things when I was young, and it's all my fault for putting Xiao Qi and Concubine Mu in a difficult situation."

After being in a trance for a while, I finally realized that the mighty emperor is actually apologizing?

How determined Yin Wuyao was to be able to confess so frankly.

After thinking about it, Zhi Fei smiled wryly, "If I were you, I would do the same. After all, there was no other way at that time."

The same is true now.Years of heavy rains have caused crop failure on both sides of the river, internal and external troubles, and the current situation is turbulent. The country that Yin Wuyao has painstakingly managed is in danger.

That's why he went deep into the northwest alone, and he didn't hesitate to let himself join the battlefield.

He is truly amazing and admirable.

When he was abolished as a prince, he once sighed that this person's mind and means are very comparable to others, and even he, who has lived two lives, is daunting.

He is not a boring person, everything he does has his reasons.

But the mother concubine also said that he is the most boring person in the world, because he has everything in his hands, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles.

Yin Wuyao's courage far exceeds that of ordinary people.

He doesn't care about the infamy of father-son incest, nor does he care about the crisis that there is no shadow guard around him. He can even tolerate pretending to be a servant. His courage, self-confidence, and means are as impeccable as his appearance, which is beyond comparison.

Such an emperor is noble and arrogant, cunning and rational, there should be nothing in this world that he wants but cannot get.

But the person in front of him broke this creed, Yin Wuyao didn't even know why he wanted Zhifei to look at him one more time, and then say something to him, that kind of thinking is like a traveler who lacks water in the desert. water thirst.

But he was also afraid, afraid of what was beyond his control, afraid of the unknown.

Suddenly, Zhi Fei was pressed tightly into Yin Wuyao's arms with such force and speed that he had no time to react.

When Danhe rushed into the yard, there were already a few signs of fighting on his body. In his hand was a simple knife snatched from the enemy, and there were little blood stains on the corner of his clothes, but they belonged to others.He didn't have time to pay attention to the ambiguous postures of the two of them, so while resisting the masked thugs wielding swords, he yelled at them: "Run! The people from the Mu family are chasing them!"

There were three gleaming knives on the knife, shining with a gloomy light. Dan He gritted his teeth and cursed, not forgetting to find a way out for the two of them, "Damn it! There are too many people, you go first..."

The sound of piercing arrows echoed in his ears, Yin Wuyao had already started his light kungfu to take the waste away, turned over and stepped on the roof, and between several ups and downs, he had already opened a long distance from the Mu family's thugs.Yin Wuyao snatched a horse from anywhere, leaped onto the horse's back, steered the horse and galloped, Zhi Fei broke away from Yin Wuyao's arms, "Danhe, Danhe is still in the inn..."

Yin Wuyao snorted coldly, "Dan He Dan Crane, how intimate are they!"

Zhi Fei opened his mouth, not knowing why he was so angry, although he wanted to ask, but seeing Yin Wuyao's calm face, he had no choice but to give up.

After a while, Yin Wuyao stared at the front and said flatly, "...Although he is reckless, he is not a fool, and will find a way to find you."

The low voice has a force that is unbelievable.

Yin Wuyao brought Zhi Fei to a mountain forest, not far from the small town they escaped from, the vegetation was fairly lush, and hiding was not easy to be found.

At the foot of the mountain, Yin Wuyao abandons his horse and walks forward. He is very strong in martial arts. Even if he is carrying a waste to perform light kung fu, his movements are still flexible. He turned around in the mountain forest a few times. Behind the dark willows and bright flowers is a hut made of bamboo. Yin Wuyao suddenly put it down. Reaching out, raised his lips, "It seems to be here..."
