The phoenix pattern is surging

The three of them chose the pipeline to go east, but they followed suit.

Xiping is located in the northwest, and there are many sand dunes in the territory. The journey along the way is not without its scenery. Li Ran asked Qu Lie for a map, and marked the way along the way to pass the time. Finally he leaned over and asked half angrily, "Why don't you take a good rest and study this crap?"

"It will be useful in the future."

He looked serious, the kid laughed a little, and said, "Is your dizzy problem gone?"

Li Ran shouldn't, and he didn't bother to chat with him, he just stared at the business.

"Hee hee, it's very imposing. I will learn from you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he frowned like him.

Li Ran glanced at him lightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you... want to lead troops to fight?"

He was kind, but he saw that monkey boy shook his head with disgust, and said, "That's not for me! Besides, I have to hang around with Master and his old man, right?"

"as you like."

He curled his lips and thought to himself that you kid is obviously a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. Thinking about it this way, he didn't expose it, but the monkey boy was guessed by him, and he held back for a long time, stunned. Ivory also failed to spit out.

Li Ran couldn't see it, so he put down his things, stared at him for a while with his hands folded around his chest, and said, "He's right outside, just say what you want."

The monkey cub blushed, leaned over and covered his mouth with his hand, and said angrily, "Shh! Keep your voice down! My master has good ears and eyes! Let him listen, what should I do?"

Li Ran secretly rolled his eyes, waved his hand and slapped him on the back of the head again, the monkey cub yelled "Ouch" in pain, looked at him with teeth bared, and said angrily, "I told you not to hit the head! Hit it again! "

As he spoke, he looked over with his head in his hands and complained all over his face, his mouth was still babbling, and he didn't know what he was talking about, Li Ran wiped the corners of his mouth with disgust, and said, "I don't care about you, But the boy lowered his voice and asked in disbelief: "You! How do you know?"

"Everyone can see it."

He said it lightly, but saw the monkey cub cheer up, and said eagerly: "Then look at it, Master, he treats me..."

Li Ran pursed his lips and remained silent. The other party already had a baby face, but now he looked over with a pair of innocent eyes, which reminded him of Jiang Yi for no reason.

As soon as this thought came up, he felt a sense of closeness for no reason, so he patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, with an encouraging look on his face, but the monkey boy was not happy to comment.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

Judging by the tone of voice, I don't know if it's more resentment or more grievance?

Li Ran withdrew his hand on his shoulder, leaned back on the cushion, and said, "There are so many women, don't get overwhelmed."

These words really didn't have any consoling effect, but seeing the other party's expressionless face, he shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in women."

"You... are really... different."

"Hmph! Do you still talk about me?"

"I'm different from you, I like..."

The word "woman" has not yet been uttered, but seeing him startled, as if struck by lightning, he felt a little terrified.

In the only 27 years in the first half of his life, Li Ran was absolutely able to pat his chest and say to the world: I like women with bumps and convexities!man?Brother has no interest at all!

However, how to explain the picture that flashed across my mind at that moment?

With a dark face, he was rubbing his throbbing temples, but he heard the monkey lamented and said: "I know that you and Your Majesty have a deep love, you don't need to show it to me, I am a frustrated person, no need People love and no one pity."

As soon as the words were finished, there was another cry of "Ouch" in the carriage, and the old man who drove the carriage shook his eyebrows with a face of nothing to do with himself, but he heard the monkey cub shout in a low voice, "You took it out on me!" ! Do you know who I am?"

There was no reply in the car for a long time, and after a while, he shouted again in a high-pitched voice: "Dismantle the gang! Dismantle the gang! I want to dismantle the gang!"

The old man finally got impatient, reached out and patted the wagon, and said indifferently: "Alright, I will put you down at the next intersection."

As soon as he said this, the noisy boy lost his voice, and he just responded to the sentence-one thing falls one thing.

In this way, I drove eastward all the way without stopping, and after about ten days, I arrived at the border town of Juliang (mao four tones).

Along the way, the checkpoints became more and more strict. After inquiring, I realized that the emperor's order had arrived to capture the enemy's spies. Notices were posted everywhere in the city, and Ji Wenren's portraits could be seen everywhere.

The three of them were all shocked, counting the time, old man Ji probably hadn't arrived at Panlongju yet, it was really bad.

In the middle of the day and night, Qu Lie came back alone in the carriage, with a rare expression on his face. When he entered the room, Li Ran asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"The order of the Xiping Kingdom has been issued, and the border towns are all under martial law. You cannot leave the city without a customs clearance token."

The other party straightened his sleeves and said in a deep voice, Li Ran secretly cursed Fuck, walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, and the last one stood still, and asked, "Where can I get the token?"

Qu Lie frowned and said, "The General's Mansion."

After finishing speaking, he sighed silently, but heard the monkey cub chuckle and said, "What do you want to do so much? Just go out of the city."

"No! There are heavy guards inside and outside the city, and there will be a large army arriving in a few days. If you leave the city rashly, there may be an ambush."

Qu Lie stared at him to warn him not to act rashly, but when he saw the monkey pouted, he lowered his head unwillingly and continued to eat sunflower seeds, Li Ran nodded and said, "Indeed, you can't act rashly."

Qu Lie stared and thought for a moment, then said: "I'm afraid, once Lao Ji is caught, his scheme of making a fool of himself will be broken. At that time, it will be even more difficult for me to go out of the city."

Li Ran remained silent, his brows and eyes wrinkled.

It is true that the other party is right, if they stay here for one more day, they will be in danger for one more day.

Juliang is the main road from Xiping to Danfeng. The reason why Qu Lie chose to abandon Panlongju and go here is actually to take advantage of the chaos of war and sneak out.

He never thought, but within ten days, this place has been strictly guarded so far, killing all three of them by surprise, it can be seen that the Xiping military order was issued so quickly that it should not be underestimated.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the monkey boy scratched his eyebrows and said, "If you don't have a token, just make a fake one?"

Li Ran raised his eyebrows, and seemed to think it was feasible, but Qu Lie shook his head and said: "I have been observing the gate of the city for two days, and there are very few people who have left the city. It can be seen that the token is not easy to get." Said, "Ordinary merchants have yet to see anyone who can leave the city."

As soon as he said this, both of them were stunned.

Li Ran rubbed his tangled brows, and secretly thought that the surname Su was really good enough, and the border city was locked, so it would be difficult for him to fly without wings.

[Xiping Yong'an Hall]

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the magnificent palace of the Yong'an Palace is so gorgeous. In the sunset of the bright sun and red sun, it shines with dazzling luxury and brilliance.

In the hall, everything remains the same.

The gilt marble floor is still shining, cigarettes are still lingering in the bronze animal stove in the outer hall, and the light gauze curtains that shade the sun are still vivid patterns carved with hundreds of phoenix embroidery.

However, after all, it is empty and unconcealable, and it lives on its own.

Su Mo stood by the window outside the hall, lost in thought. The warm wind in the evening of late spring hit his black eyes like autumn water, blowing layers of ripples and breaking them into mottled eyes.

Are all good things fleeting?

He didn't understand, and couldn't figure it out, he just stood quietly under the corridor outside the hall, and stared through the diamond lattice of the open window, just like in the past.

Gong Huai waited three steps away, not daring to vent his breath.

This son of heaven has been like this since he came back from offering sacrifices to heaven, looking at him every day, never falling,

After a while, I saw the bright yellow figure slowly entering the hall, and the bright yellow dragon boots carved with gold threads stepped on the black marble tile step by step. back.

Gong Huai'an's eyes were terrified, he lowered his head and dared not look any further.

Just like in the past, the vermilion lacquered door slammed shut, blocking the boundless glory of the setting sun and cutting off the boundless desolation of the hall.

Su Mo stood still in front of the beauty's couch under the window in the outer hall, stared at the head of the couch for a moment, then sat down on the couch, stroking the thin fur with bright yellow engraved phoenix patterns under his hand, his expression erratic and remote.

After a while, a smile appeared in those Rushui eyes.

The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated through the rhombic lattice, casting a smear of bright red on the couch, the bronzing phoenix fur seemed to be stained with blood, it was dazzling and shocking red.

The hall was extremely quiet, dripping water could be heard, but laughter could be heard faintly.

"Your Highness, the servants know! Got it!"

"Okay, you say."

"It turned into a butterfly and flew over."

It was He Ren's hearty laughter that lingered in my ears, and amidst the tranquility and joy, a little bit of warmth penetrated into my heart.

He smiled and lay down on the couch, staring at the bottomless palace in a daze.

In the vastness of the eyes, one can vaguely see that bright morning, a person lying on the couch with his hands down, eyes closed and sleeping, his expression is indifferent and comfortable, there are scrolls falling on the side, and there are crisp birdsong, the first ray of morning light shines On his face, with the unique clarity of spring, cast a touching silhouette between the thrush-like eyebrows and eyes.

His life, at that moment, seemed to be completely frozen, and he only wished that the time would be still, and in the sound of spring and dream of death, he would use his thick eyes of autumn water to express his lingering, longing and tenderness.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to grasp the eternity of that moment, but when he opened his eyes, it was full of nothingness.

The empty Yong'an Palace, the empty imperial city, the empty heart...

"I said I would never give up on you, why don't you believe me?"

He was talking to himself, looking aggrieved, like a stubborn child.

The last rays of the setting sun faded in the sky, and the lights of thousands of families in Andu City shone brightly in the night, but they could not illuminate the endless darkness of Yong'an Hall.

He got up and walked towards the inner hall. In his vision, the moon gauze curtain danced with the wind, like smoke and waves, erratic and elusive.He stretched out his hand to grab a strand in his hand, and opened it to look, but as in the past, what he saw was only an empty golden nanmu phoenix couch.

"It was you that night, wasn't it?" He sat down on the edge of the bed, stroking the brocade under his hands and talking to himself, with almost paranoid burning in his eyes, "It must be you, I know, it must be..."

This last sound echoed for a long time in the cold Yong'an Hall, and disappeared into the depths of the dark hall, as if being swallowed.

After all, it was just a dream.

The next day, when the sky was about to dawn, Gong Huai'an was waiting outside the hall, when he suddenly heard a heavy creak, with a dull and long echo, the hall door opened in response.

Standing alone behind the door, Qiu Shui's black eyes were neither sad nor happy.

Gong Huai'an was startled, hurriedly walked over on tiptoe carefully, and called out to His Majesty softly, so frightened that he didn't dare to say more.

That person didn't answer, and walked away without looking back, "It's closed."

Throughout his life, his post has always been vacant.

Many years later, when the gate of Yong'an Hall was opened again, Li Ran felt a roar in his head when he looked at everything in the hall, and he didn't dare to lift his feet to take a closer look.
