It turns out that I too have been robbed.

Ning Congling knelt not far away, saying that he had admired the immortal king of Yitai for thousands of years, and hoped that "I" could bestow him on the immortal king.

Before Pei Ruzhou had time to think about it, his thoughts were disturbed by Pei Yufeng.

But now, seeing this familiar scene, he finally remembered his previous doubts.

... So what kind of relationship was Ning Congling and the prince in the last life?

Pei Ruzhou was extremely shocked.

Although everyone in the court knew about the prince and Ning Congling.But as a young man who has just come to Fengcheng for a few months and is mainly active in the Suihan Palace, Pei Ruzhou really has never heard of it!

So they are broken sleeves?

After a short period of shock, Pei Ruzhou couldn't help but think again... So in his previous life, Ning Congling was unrequitedly in love with the prince, or did it mean that they were in love with each other?

Probably because the perspective of God Venerable Yongxiao is too substituting, after hearing Ning Congling's words, Pei Ruzhou almost couldn't help asking.

And just when he was excited because of this gossip, he heard "myself" slowly say: "In that case, then—"

"God!"

God Venerable Yongxiao hadn't finished speaking when he was suddenly interrupted.

Then, a figure he was very familiar with appeared in front of him.

It's the prince!

No, no, it's Yitai Immortal Lord.

Looking down from above, he could only see a rough outline, but God Venerable Yongxiao had good eyesight, and he saw that Yitai Immortal Lord was no different from the prince he had imagined.

Cough cough, even though he knew that he was in the memory of God Venerable Yongxiao, Pei Ruzhou still felt a little awkward when he saw the crown prince saluting himself.

Before Pei Ruzhou could react from this strange feeling, he heard Yitai Immortal say again: "My lord, Xiaoxian has no such wish."

Wow!It seems that the story of the two of them is even more exciting than I imagined.

Now it's not just Pei Ruzhou who wants to gossip out of curiosity, he can't help but gasp when he hears that even the other gods who are attending the banquet in Nine Heavens.

Even including the eternal night God Venerable himself...

"Ah?" God Venerable couldn't help sighing softly with a voice that only he could hear.

"Xianjun!" Immediately, Ning Congling turned around and looked at Yitai Xianjun with a shocked face.

But Immortal Lord Yitai looked at his own direction.

Pei Ruzhou was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was not looking at himself, but "Eternal Night God".

Immortal Lord Yitai looked at God Venerable Yongxiao, and said slowly and solemnly: "My God, I already have my own heart."

Pei Ruzhou:! ! !

Hearing this sentence, Ning Congling's complexion became very, very ugly at the moment. He lowered his head, and his eyes turned red instantly.

Obviously, those words just now exhausted all of Ning Congling's courage, but now Immortal Yitai rejected him in front of the entire Nine Heavens, which made Ning Congling even more embarrassed.

Pei Ruzhou could feel that not only was he shocked, but even God Venerable Yongxiao was also very surprised.

He has been staying in the Netherworld and is not very good at dealing with such situations.

Seeing this situation, God Venerable Yongxiao also fell silent.

Covered by a mask, people don't know what the god is thinking now, and even because of his silence, some people have already become nervous.

But Pei Ruzhou was different.

Pei Ruzhou saw the hand hidden under the desk of God Venerable Yongxiao, and couldn't help but stroke his hair...

This is exactly the same as the small movements he likes to do when he is nervous.

Here, God Venerable Yongxiao is still nervous.On the other side, the Emperor of Heaven did not see him speak after waiting for a long time. Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually getting awkward, he finally cleared his throat, and said "this matter will be discussed at another time", and prevaricated Ning Congling and Immortal Yitai.

Seeing this, God Venerable Yongxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Ruzhou didn't know what the god was thinking now, but through the perspective of the other party, he saw that the Immortal Lord of Yitai was still looking here.

……

After all, it is heaven, and the mask worn by God Venerable Yongxiao is not extraordinary.For example, even wearing a mask does not prevent him from drinking.

Pei Ruzhou saw that after the banquet started, God Venerable Yongxiao watched the singing and dancing on the high stage while drinking wine cup after cup.

Not long after, he, who was still pretending to be serious before, slowly leaned back and leaned on the cushion.

Although Pei Ruzhou couldn't see the current appearance of God Venerable Yongxiao, he thought that this picture might look a little strange... After all, the lazy posture and the evil ghost mask on his face really didn't match very well.

After a long time, the banquet was finally over, and at the moment when the God Venerable Yongxiao was about to leave, Pei Ruzhou suddenly heard—the Immortal of Yitai calling "myself".

But a very embarrassing thing happened, Pei Ruzhou noticed it from the perspective of God Venerable Yongxiao.But the god himself, who had drunk a little too much just now, didn't react even though he saw and heard it.

The next moment, he walked away very "indifferently".

In fact, it's not that he can ignore the other party, it's just because he drank a little too much, his head was dizzy, and he didn't realize what happened at all.

The scene in front of Pei Ruzhou changed, and God Venerable Yongxiao returned to the Netherworld.

Arriving at the familiar place, the god who was trying his best to maintain his image just now finally took a deep breath and sat on the big rock by the Styx River, blowing a cold wind.

At this moment, the Styx river under the feet of God Venerable Yongxiao suddenly boiled.

When the deity came to his senses, a black mist suddenly appeared in the river, and then wrapped around his slender ankles.

Pei Ruzhou was taken aback, and without waiting for him to react, or even for the drunken God Venerable to react, the black mist dragged Yongxiao God Venerable half of his body into the water.

"Yongxiao, why did you come back?" After finishing speaking, the black mist had already surrounded him, and a bone-piercing chill hit him.

By the time Pei Ruzhou realized it, the mask on the face of God Venerable Yongxiao had already been taken off by the black mist, and he threw it into the water casually.

He suddenly approached, pressed close to the ear of God Venerable Yongxiao, and said in a low and slightly hoarse voice: "If you don't come back again, I will go to... Jiuchongtian to find you."

Until this time, Pei Ruzhou finally belatedly wondered - who is this shadow?Hearing this, could it be that he can enter and leave the Nine Heavens freely?

Isn't he sealed here?

Most importantly, his tone was a little ambiguous, as if... he was also a broken sleeve.

Soi Ying's words also caught the attention of God Venerable Yongxiao.

He tapped his toes lightly in the water, and the next moment he was back on the black boulder just now.

When Pei Ruzhou heard this, God Venerable Yongxiao smiled lightly.Drunk, he said softly, "With me here, you can't run away."

"Hey...it's so cold."

Pei Ruzhou's body trembled slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the Netherworld.

Hearing his own voice, he must have caught a cold.

Pei Ruzhou tried to sit up from the bed, but he didn't have any strength in his body, so he finally lay down back under the blanket, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

This time, because of the rain, Pei Ruzhou fell ill intermittently until autumn.

During this time, Qi Yunyao left the palace and went to guard the mausoleum on the outskirts of Fengcheng.And even though he was always ill, Pei Ruzhou never forgot his "student" Qi Baili, and he did his best to help him with his homework.

Most importantly, Pei Ruzhou still saw what happened in the Netherworld intermittently in his dreams.

——As the master of the Netherworld, the daily work of the Eternal Night God Venerable is to chant scriptures, guide the lost souls back home, use divine power to maintain the operation of the world, and... look at that black shadow.

I don't know whether it's because of being locked in the river all the time, or what's the matter, that black shadow often comes to interfere with the work of the Yongxiao God.From Pei Ruzhou's point of view, it's all about finding trouble for nothing.

But God Venerable Yongxiao seems to be used to this kind of life.

When Pei Ruzhou got used to this kind of life, the Mid-Autumn Festival came.

Banquets of the royal family are always very boring. After receiving the gifts from various states and counties, the emperor gave Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to the princes and princesses.

Unlike previous years, Qi Yunyao, who was still guarding the mausoleum, received nothing.On the contrary, Qi Baili received the Mid-Autumn Festival gift from his father for the first time.

Recently, Pei Ruzhou has worked hard to teach Qi Baili, and he has learned well.

Just now the emperor casually asked a few questions, Qi Baili actually answered them all.

With the comparison between himself and Qi Yunyao before, the emperor felt for the first time that this sixth prince, whom he had always hated, still had some redeeming qualities.

……

The banquet in the palace ended early.

Not long after the garrison time, the banquet was over.According to the rules of Dayi, the princes do not have to go to class for the three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival.So Pei Ruzhou planned to go back to the General's Mansion with the princess who also attended the Mid-Autumn Banquet.

And at the moment when the banquet was over and they were about to leave, Pei Ruzhou suddenly saw...Qi Baili also turned around, heading towards Fuxun Palace.

"Mother, you and Yu Feng go first, I will come back by myself later."

"Okay...then you pay attention to safety."

"Uh-huh!"

Just after talking with the princess, Pei Ruzhou, who managed to recover a little, trotted to Qi Baili's side.

At this time, Qi Baili had already turned around.

Pei Ruzhou quickly pulled Qi Baili's sleeve, and said softly, "Your Highness Sixth, are you free tonight?"

Just now Pei Ruzhou suddenly remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the few opportunities for princes to leave the palace.If I remember correctly, it has been more than a year since Qi Baili returned to the palace, and during this year, except for the hunt, he should have never been out.

Pei Ruzhou didn't like Huazhang Palace, so he felt that Qi Baili, like himself, didn't like this gorgeous palace that was no different from a birdcage.

"Like the day?"

Qi Baili turned around and looked at Pei Ruzhou in a little surprise.

The young man in the moon white gown smiled at him, and then said: "These three days, why don't I go out of the palace together?"

In fact, Pei Ruzhou made a mistake just now, Qi Baili is different from himself.

He didn't think the imperial palace was a gorgeous birdcage, on the contrary Qi Baili liked such a place.He likes high palace walls, golden eaves, and everything that makes him feel right within his reach.

Qi Baili didn't want to escape from here at all.

If someone else made such a suggestion to him, Qi Baili would definitely sneer in his heart, and then reject the other party.

However, the person who asked him if he wanted to leave here today was Pei Ruzhou.

Without even thinking about it, Qi Baili nodded and said, "Okay." This was fast, as if he was afraid that Pei Ruzhou would go back on his word.

Seeing that Qi Baili agreed, Pei Ruzhou also smiled, and directly changed his pulling on Qi Baili's sleeve to his wrist.

"Let's go, Your Highness will stay in the General's Mansion for the next few days, but we won't go back tonight. I heard it when I was at Zhoulan Pass before, and the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival in Fengcheng are very lively," said here , Pei Ruzhou still didn't forget to look back at Qi Baili and ask, "By the way, has your Highness gone out to see it?"

"No," Qi Baili shook his head lightly, then turned to look at Pei Ruzhou, and said very solemnly, "Ruzhou just call me by my name, you don't have to be so polite."

If Qi Baili remembers correctly, this is not the first time he has said this to Pei Ruzhou.

At this moment, the two of them were already walking on the palace road. Hearing Qi Baili's words, Pei Ruzhou hesitated a little and said, "Okay, then I'll just call Your Highness 'Baili'?"

To say "Qi Baili" directly seems to be still unfamiliar and a little rude.

Pei Ruzhou didn't know how much the simple word "Bai Li" caused waves in Qi Baili's heart.

He only knew that the people around him were silent for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

After walking out of the three palace gates, Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili finally boarded the carriage.

This carriage has a layer of gauze curtains and a layer of bamboo curtains. When the two got into the carriage, the gauze curtains had been rolled aside, leaving only loose bamboo branches.And light also came in through the gap here.

There is no curfew in Fengcheng itself, not to mention that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the roads are even busier than usual.

As soon as he walked out of the last palace gate, warm light came in from the window, and was divided by bamboo branches, falling on Pei Ruzhou's body.

Pei Ruzhou couldn't help looking through the bamboo branches to see the scenery outside the window.But he didn't know that Qi Baili, who was also looking in this direction, was not looking outside, but looking at him.

In Qi Baili's ears, there was the creaking sound of the carriage running over the stone road, and in front of his eyes was the delicate face of the young man, as if painted with fine brushwork.

For a moment, he had forgotten where he was, and even everything around him.

Until Pei Ruzhou slowly raised his hand and rolled up all the bamboo curtains of the carriage.

"Look, Baili, it's really beautiful outside."

The light of the lantern outside the window and the whole world were completely imprinted in Pei Ruzhou's eyes.Seeing this from Pei Ruzhou, Qi Baili's heart was completely confused.

"Fengcheng was built by the previous dynasty. It took more than 300 years to build it to its current scale. Look at the mountain in the distance, Fengqi Mountain. It is said that in ancient times, there was a phoenix that stopped..."

"En." Qi Baili listened very seriously, he looked at Pei Ruzhou and nodded from time to time, although he already knew this.

Pei Ruzhou didn't like Fengcheng originally.But at this moment, seeing the night sky filled with lights like stars outside the window, and the bustling market different from the fairy palace, Pei Ruzhou suddenly fell in love with this place full of fireworks.

Qi Baili in "Heavenly Prophecy" doesn't care about everything in the world.It is precisely because he doesn't care that Qi Baili ignores life and doesn't care about these thousands of miles of land.

Thinking of this, Pei Ruzhou couldn't help but want to tell Qi Baili everything he saw and all the feelings in his heart.

Pei Ruzhou hopes that Qi Baili can also fall in love with Fengcheng, Dayi and this world.

But Qi Baili, who is still a young man, may not have such a big heart.

At least for this moment, he couldn't hold the lights of Fengcheng and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in his heart, but he could only let go of the person in front of him.

The carriage stopped slowly at the entrance of a long street.

Seeing the bustling crowd not far away, Pei Ruzhou became more and more happy, he gently pulled Qi Baili's wrist and said, "Let's go to Baili, let's go to the street and have a look."

"it is good."

I don't know if it's because of leaving the palace, Qi Baili talked more than usual today.

"Is the Mid-Autumn Festival at Zhoulan Pass as lively as it is today?"

Pei Ruzhou thought for a while and replied: "No, there are many people from the Western Regions in Zhoulan Pass, and they don't celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's also the first time I've seen such a bustling market."

Pei Ruzhou is really dedicated to his work. Although according to recent observations, Qi Baili seems to have no signs of becoming a tyrant, but Pei Ruzhou still has not forgotten his mission - in front of Qi Baili, most of them are for Zhou Languan. Brush presence.

"However, when it comes to ordinary days, Fengcheng is definitely not as fun as Day Orchid Pass. The square market over there is full of things that you can't see in Fengcheng, and there are even people selling camel cubs!"

Having said this, Pei Ruzhou turned around as if thinking of something and asked, "By the way, Baili, have you seen the camel boy?"

Sure enough, Qi Baili thought for a while and finally said: "When I was in Weiguo, I saw an adult camel."

"Then if you are free in the future, come to Zhoulan Pass, and I will definitely show you!" After finishing speaking, he added, "By the way, if you want to see something later, you can look around by yourself. But... well, it's best not to let them leave where they are."

What Pei Ruzhou said was very euphemistic.

Pei Ruzhou didn't doubt Qi Baili's curiosity about new things at all. After all, he, who has grown up in the future, is a person who can do such things as collecting rare treasures from all over the world.

——Qi Baili can see rare things if he wants to, but he must see them by himself!Only by suffering on the road can we be in awe of living beings.

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of Pei Ruzhou's words, Qi Baili nodded obediently.

But at the same time, Qi Baili caught another important point in Pei Ruzhou's words: "Is Ruzhou going back to Zhoulan Pass?"

"Yeah!" Pei Ruzhou nodded and said, "Of course we have to go back. Our Pei family has been guarding Zhoulan Pass for generations... If you miss me in the future, come and find me there."

Qi Baili couldn't help biting his lips lightly, and then asked Pei Ruzhou: "Then why are you staying in Fengcheng?"

"Stay in Fengcheng..." To be honest, Pei Ruzhou really didn't think about this question, he paused, and said to Qi Baili, "When the world is peaceful and there is no need for people to guard Zhoulan Pass anymore .”

"The world is peaceful..."

Qi Baili silently remembered these four words in his heart.

It was at this time that the two finally reached the main street.

According to the tradition of Dayi, the Mid-Autumn festival is to have a meal with the family.But there are no rules about what to do after eating.So taking advantage of the excitement of the festival, almost all the people in Fengcheng walked out of their homes, and even the vendors who usually hid in Fangshi ran to the main street.

"Is that sweet-scented osmanthus honey?" Pei Ruzhou's eyes lit up when he saw the words on the small porcelain bottle.

After speaking, he turned around, blinked his eyes and asked Qi Baili: "Bai Li, do you want to taste it?" In fact, Pei Ruzhou wanted to taste it himself.

"I..." Qi Baili instinctively rejects things of such improper origin outside the palace.What's more, he grew up in the palace of Weiguo, and he has never seen such a fine liquid, such things outside the palace, in his eyes, they are both dirty and immoral.

But seeing Pei Ruzhou's eyes, he couldn't say anything if he refused.

Qi Baili smiled, nodded and said, "I think so."

"Okay, then I'll give it to you!" After speaking, Pei Ruzhou took Qi Baili to the stall and bought two bottles of sweet-scented osmanthus honey.

Coincidentally, before Pei Ruzhou tasted it, he saw that there was a stall hidden behind the vendor.Pei Ruzhou is very familiar with the things on this stall...

"It's a camel bell."

Pei Ruzhou picked up the brass bell from the stand, and he said to Qi Baili: "With this camel bell, no matter how strong the wind and sand are, as long as you can hear the sound, you can know that the camel is there, and the people are also there."

Day Orchid Pass was already rich, and after coming to Feng City, the princess no longer restricted Pei Ruzhou's expenses.

After saying these words, Pei Ruzhou, who has always been very generous, bought the bell without even lowering the price.

He gave the camel bell to Qi Baili, and said jokingly: "If you come to me in the future, you can hang it around the camel's neck, and I will come to you when I hear the sound."

Qi Baili's gaze at Tuoling became serious immediately, as if looking at some rare treasure.

He didn't speak for a while, and when Pei Ruzhou was wondering if Qi Baili didn't like this gift, he saw that the other party suddenly took off the thin silver chain that had been wrapped around his wrist, and solemnly handed it to him.

Qi Baili said: "Ru Zhou, I don't have anything valuable on me, you must accept this silver chain."

This silver chain was left by Qi Baili's mother and concubine.Qi Baili doesn't have much affection for his mother and concubine, he has been wearing this chain all the time, just because of habit.

And now Qi Baili gave the silver chain to Pei Ruzhou, not because he cherished the relics so much, but because Qi Baili found... This is the only thing he can take out that has not been stained with blood and is still clean.

Only such a thing is worthy of being like the day.

Pei Ruzhou did not expect that Qi Baili would also give him a gift.

While he was in a daze, Qi Baili slowly pulled his wrist up, and put the thing in Pei Ruzhou's hands very solemnly.

It was obviously just a simple Mid-Autumn Festival gift, but Pei Ruzhou felt... how does this scene look like an exchange of tokens of love?

no no!Don't think about it.I must have been influenced by those gods with broken sleeves...

Pei Ruzhou quickly put this strange thought aside, and solemnly accepted the first gift Qi Baili gave him.
