Opposite the entrance hall

The moon and stars are sparse, and the dogs bark.

The moonlight is very bright tonight, and the city of Lin'an can be seen clearly even if the lights are not on. It was only a little after the first watch, and there were many people coming and going on the street. The shouting in the market seemed very lively. A person came out from the alley on the right, He looked a little flustered, looked left and right, as if he didn't know what he was looking at, then straightened his clothes, buried his head very low, hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and followed the flow of people forward.

Crackling firecrackers sounded at the crossroads, as if a new store was opening and distributing small items. The door was crowded with onlookers, making the narrow street even more crowded. The person was pushed and shoved. They squeezed in, surrounded by excited people, their voices were deafening, as if they were about to blow the sky down.

The person who was squeezed in the middle was a little anxious, and tried his best to squeeze in the opposite direction of the crowd. It took a lot of effort to get out of the crowd. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly came from behind, "The front Brother, your things have been dropped."

The man froze for a moment, and when he turned around, his face was revealed. If Ji Si was there, he would definitely be able to recognize who this person was, the governor of Xiangzhou, Qian Duo.

Qian Duoxiao was honest and honest, bowed his body and went back to thank him repeatedly, "Thank you brother, I didn't notice you were so crowded, thanks to you, otherwise I would have lost this thing."

"It's all right." The man who picked up the thing waved his hand. "It's a crowded place. It's common for you to squeeze me and I squeeze him to drop things. Be careful next time."

"I get it, I get it." Qian Duo also laughed.

He stretched out his hand to take it, and it was a waist card. On the card was a lifelike eagle soaring high and looking like a predator. It had a lifelike expression, and when the eagle looked at people, it seemed to be ruthless.

Qian Duo held the waist card in his hand and thanked the people again and again, then turned around and continued to walk forward. After passing the corner, the honest and honest smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he hurriedly stepped into an alley. The alley extends in all directions, and the terrain is a bit complicated. I walked around and stopped in front of a courtyard door. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, knocking on the door sounded.

After a while, there were light footsteps in the courtyard, and then the door was opened to both sides. The man standing inside had a familiar face, dressed in a black suit, who was with Mr. Zhong at the gate of Xiangzhou City that day. The one on the side was actually the same person.

"Has Second Master rested?" Qian Duo asked.

"Not yet, waiting for your news." The man replied.

The two of them closed the door and entered the house one after the other. There was only one oil lamp lit in the house, the light was not too bright, and the moonlight outside the house came in through the window lattice.

Qian Duo stepped forward and saluted, "This subordinate has seen the second master."

"Come on," the man in front was handling the eagle in the cage without looking back, "how is things going?"

The eagle looked a little manic, its fur was very nice, but its eyes were ferocious, it kept flapping its wings and roaring, its long beak looked extremely sharp, but the man was not afraid at all, as if the one in front of him was a docile bird Like a well-behaved bird, let him tease and have fun.

Qian Duo looked away from the eagle, and replied respectfully, "Everything is going according to plan. Kong Lingqiu will go to Kashgar in a few days, and Ji Si will go with him."

Mr. Zhong hooked his lips and smiled, "Not bad."

"Second Master," Qian Duo hesitated for a long time but couldn't help asking, "How do you guarantee that the Emperor of Jin will definitely send Ji Si to Kashgar? If he doesn't, won't our plan fail?"

"Do you know what Li Jianfeng is most afraid of now?" Mr. Zhong asked back, but he didn't expect too much money to answer, and said to himself, "He is most afraid of death now. The longer the emperor sits, the higher the throne will be. Afraid of death, otherwise, why would there be so many emperors dreaming of immortality, no matter how nice the words are, what is the real dragon emperor, the reincarnation of the emperor star, after all, they are all mortal wombs, and when they die, they will all be a pool of blood A bone, Li Jianfeng's body can't last long, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is dying and struggling, so as long as there is a chance, he will definitely not let it go, even if it is the legendary Jiujie Xuezhi."

"Xunxuezhi is such an important matter because we have to send capable people to it. Only Ji Si is such an idiot that it is difficult to accomplish a major event."

"Idiot," Mr. Zhong snorted coldly, "You really think that Ji Si is an idiot, but I think you are an idiot. Although this person looks a little stupid, he is actually not easy to be scheming, and he is the worst when he is cruel to others." You are even more ruthless, you wouldn't think that he got to the position of Minister of the Household Department just by flattering his beard, right?"

Qian Duo lowered his head and remained silent.

Mr. Zhong continued: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the Jin Dynasty expected that Li Jianfeng would live a lot, and hope that he would die as well, so the search for medicine should not be a big deal. Ji Si has been to the Kashgar border, and no one is more suitable than him. By the way, you didn't tell the whole plan, did you?"

"The little master asked, but his subordinates prevaricated according to the second master's instructions."

"That's good. He recently became interested in Ji Si again, and he specifically warned me not to make a move. Those who make big things are the most taboo to be entangled in such trivial matters." Mr. Zhong squinted his eyes, "Sooner or later Ji Si will not get rid of it. There is no room for any mistakes, but if I agree, he won't make a move, but if someone else makes a move, I can't stop it. This trip to Kashgar, life or death depends entirely on Ji Si's artificial creation. Ji Si, oh Ji Si, don't blame me, blame yourself if you want to blame, you misjudged the wrong person at the beginning."

The voice was fierce, and the natural reaction of the raptor made the eagle in the cage feel the danger, and his mood became more manic. The movement of flapping its wings used a lot of strength, and the sound of wheezing and wheezing stirred up a small wind. The feathers in the cage are flying around.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, stirring up a burst of coolness, the branches are rustling, and the lanterns under the eaves are swaying in the wind.

"Ah!" Ji Si sneezed. For some reason, his body felt a little cold, so he rubbed his nose and wrapped his coat tightly.

Jiuniang glanced at him, quickly got up and walked to the window, leaned out to take a look, the sky that was still full of moonlight just now suddenly darkened, dark clouds covered the moon, and the strong wind suddenly picked up, and the wind blowing head-on shook her hair. The wind flew everywhere, blocking the sight in front of her eyes. She retracted the fork pole and closed the window. The howling wind slapped the wooden window. Jiu Niang turned around and walked back to the table to sit down. It's raining, it's been hot for several days, and I can't sleep well at night, I can finally see some rain to cool off."

She picked up the jug and poured two glasses of wine, and passed one of them over, "When will you go to Kashgar, have you decided?"

"Two days or so," Ji Si took the glass and drank it up. "Although it hasn't been decided yet, I don't think it will be too long. I can wait here, but I can't wait over Kashgar."

"Then since it's such a busy season, sir, can you come to my gentle hometown when you have time? Could it be that you are reluctant to part with my slave's house and come to be gentle." Jiuniang giggled.

"I went this time and don't know when I'll be able to return. All other things have been arranged properly, but there is one thing I'm still worried about." He didn't take those words to heart, but just looked up at the opposite side who was putting on makeup, The fragrant shoulders were half exposed, and the woman whose eyes were dull and full of wind and frost, no longer as clear as a girl, smiled and said softly: "I will redeem you, and I have brought all the money. From now on, you can do whatever you want, and I will cover you." That's right."

Jiuniang's smile froze on her face, and the raised corners of her lips gradually came down. She stared at the man in front of her with complicated emotions in her eyes. After watching for a long time, she raised her head and drank the wine. Said: "Master Ji, you actually don't have to take this matter seriously. On the contrary, you don't shy away from me about anything, and aren't you afraid that I will speak out?"

"Then will you say it?" Ji Si asked back.

"Maybe." Jiu Niang shrugged.

"Then let's talk," Ji Si took the jug and filled two empty glasses with wine, and raised his glasses at others, "The most important thing in making friends is sincerity, and the most important thing for a gentleman is to keep promises. Since I have complied with your request, Naturally, I have to do it, and I will not lie to you."

I will not lie to you.

I will live up to you.

Jiuniang's memory was a little floating, she stared at her reflection in the wine glass, and said in a flat tone: "Someone said the same thing to me before."

"and after?"

"I don't remember," Jiu Niang picked up the glass and smiled self-deprecatingly. The reflection in the glass was blurred by ripples, and the glass was empty when it returned to the table. He opened his mouth, "Master Ji is so kind to the slave family, it's better to be a good person to the end, and marry the slave family as a concubine."

"No," this time Ji Si refused without hesitation, "I already have someone in my heart, so I can't let him down, and I can't delay you."

"Pfft," Jiuniang laughed out loud, "You're serious about teasing you, if I don't see someone in your heart from your appearance that day, then all these years in Fengyuelou will be in vain."

Speaking of that day, Ji Si was still a little embarrassed, "Thanks to you that night, and please take me back home."

"not me."

"Ok?"

Jiuniang leaned on the table and raised her head and said, "King Qin sent you back."

"King Qin?" Ji Si repeated, frowning, something flashed in his mind.

Until the end, this body was still not redeemed. Jiuniang said: She hasn't figured out what to do when she goes out, so she might as well wait. Besides, she has had feelings for her sisters in the pavilion for so many years, and she has to leave suddenly. It's also because of the reluctance, I have to let her say goodbye one by one, Ji Si has no choice but to let her go.

When returning to the mansion, Ting Xue was waiting at the door early, with a serious expression on his face, and hurriedly greeted him as soon as he walked in, and said solemnly: "My lord, the crown prince has come down."

Ji Si suddenly raised his eyes to stare at the mansion, and stepped in without making a sound.

With his back turned to him, Li Hongyang stared at the picture of a tiger in the center of the hall seriously, and a row of guards from the Eastern Palace stood beside him, which brought an extremely tense and oppressive feeling to the hall.

"Greetings to His Highness the Prince." Ji Si bowed his head in salute.

"Get up," Li Hongyang waved his hand, then turned to look at Ji Si behind him who was bowing his head and eyes, and slowly walked to the main seat to sit down, and said calmly, "You are going to Kashgar."

This sentence is an affirmative sentence. Ji Si lowered his head and quickly responded, "Your Majesty is seriously ill. I heard that there is Jiujie Xuezhi on the border of Nandian. It can cure all diseases with medicine to kill human flesh and bones. I specially send my ministers to go there." Check."

"You said you, you are obviously a member of the prince, why do you always work for the emperor?"

Ji Si didn't dare to answer the words rashly, so he had no choice but to talk about others, "I belong to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, and he is also the crown prince. I am not doing things for the emperor, but He is doing things for Dajin, the Dajin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Speaking is better than singing," Li Hongyang leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and raised his head, tapping on the table with his fingers, "Do you think there is such a thing as Jiujie Xuezhi in this world?"

Ji Si couldn't figure out what this person meant, so he didn't dare to answer.

Li Hongyang didn't get angry, and said to himself, "Do you think you can find it?"

"Your servant must do his best."

"Then what if I say that you don't need to do your best?"

"Boom!"

Suddenly there was a burst of thunder outside the courtyard, and then the big raindrops slammed down, hitting the blue tiles and slabs, and bending the branches in the courtyard. There are drums beating, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.

Ji Si maintained the posture of bowing his head and eyes down, staring at the shoe upper embroidered with dark lines in front of him, and squinting his eyes.

Li Hongyang waited for a long time but didn't hear a reply, opened his eyes, leaned forward, leaned over, and finished the following rebellious words word by word: "If the prince said that he doesn't want you to find Jiujie Xuezhi, what should you do?"

There was a "boom", another thunderstorm sounded, and Ji Sidong knelt down on the ground, "Your Highness, speak carefully!"

The scene fell into silence, except for the sound of rain in the courtyard, and a few thunderclaps from time to time. After a while, Li Hongyang said, "It's my fault, get up."

"Yes."

Li Hongyang also got up, looked at the dark rainy night in the courtyard and said in a deep voice, "It's already so late before I know it, it's not early, so I'll go back."

"I respectfully send you off to Your Highness."

"Forget it," Li Hongyang raised his hand to stop Ji Si, put his hands behind his back and turned his head, and said in a very complicated tone, "Just now I just treated it as nonsense, don't take it to heart."

"I know." Ji Si replied respectfully.

The guards at the side opened up the oil umbrella early on, and when Li Hongyang came out, they rushed up to meet Li Hongyang, covered his head with the oil umbrella, and allowed themselves to be wet by the rain.

Ji Si stood under the eaves, watching the group of people from the East Palace leave.

Halfway through the walk, Li Hongyang stopped suddenly, turned his head slightly and asked, "Ji Si, do you still remember who you are today because of?"

"It's Your Highness," Ji Sihui said, "It is thanks to His Highness's kindness that I am here today. Without Your Highness, I would still be an unfavored outcast in Zhangzhou. Your Highness's kindness to me, I will remember day and night, and dare not forget."

"Just remember," Li Hongyang nodded, "Don't forget."

One inside and one outside, one light and one dark, thunder rumbled, the rain fell on the ground, splashing a large number of scattered raindrops, the raindrops jumped into the eaves, and wet the hem of Ji Si's clothes.

Li Hongyang's words were not nonsense, he knew, and Li Hongyang himself knew, that Kashgar and his party were already full of difficulties before they set off, and perhaps even more troubles would be inevitable when they arrived.

Ji Si sighed for a long time, and the sigh floated into the rain, blended into the wind, and finally returned to calm.

The schedule for going to Kashgar was issued the next day, and as Ji Si guessed, he was very anxious, and he had to get up tomorrow, which was different from the light-packed trip in Xiangzhou. The emperor thought that he and Kong Lingqiu were both civil servants, so he specially transferred a patrol guard Escorted the two of them all the way.

He originally didn't want to bring the first grader with him, thinking about the long journey and trekking through mountains and rivers, he couldn't bear the first grader crying, making troubles, and going up to the sling, so he could only agree to let him go with him, so many things had to be prepared adequately. The official affairs of the Ministry had to be properly arranged, so it took a little more time, and it was only after dark that the work was done.

There were only a few scattered people on the street, and Ji Si didn't hold up a lantern, but walked slowly under the moonlight. When he turned into the alley, a shadow suddenly appeared under his feet. He followed the shadow and looked up, and saw At the end of the shadow is Qi Ran.

Ji Si tilted his head, and asked a little amusingly, "Did Master Qi wait for me on purpose?"

"Yes," Qi Ran didn't deny it this time, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, I'm afraid I might miss it."

When he looked straight at people, his eyes were very affectionate, which made Ji Si feel a little embarrassed, and rubbed his nose to look away.

"When will you leave tomorrow?" Qi Ran asked.

"Yin time, the gates of the city are open."

"Which way?"

"North city gate, the official road is a bit detoured."

Qi Ran nodded, "There are many things in the yamen, so I won't see you off. I'm going to Kashgar, safe journey."

It seemed like he had waited for a long time just to say this, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and planned to leave, but just after walking three or five steps, someone behind him suddenly called his name.

"Qi Ziheng."

He turned around, and saw the person behind him with a smile on his face, facing the wind, covered with starlight all over the sky, running towards him with all his strength, the wind became gentle, the starlight was dim, and only this person was bright in his eyes.

Ji Si ran over and laughed especially, and then pressed Qi Ran's head down and kissed him vigorously. This kiss was very light, without any lust, and it was released quickly after just touching it, just like the kiss in the night. As gentle as the wind.

"When I come back from Kashgar, I'll tell you a secret." Ji Si said with a smile.

"Okay," Qi Ran also hooked his lips into a smile, "I'll tell you a secret when you come back from Kashgar."

The moon hid in the clouds, shyly afraid to look at the thoughts of this young boy in the world.

On the second day when Yinshi arrived, the city gate opened, and Kong Lingqiu and Ji Si set off towards Kashgar under the protection of the inspectors. At the same time, the west gate just opened a gap, and a white horse rushed out, so fast that it was impossible to see. The man on the horse.

The horse ran extremely fast, its hooves crossed the ravine, stepped on the grass, and ran straight to the top of the mountain. Finally, the man tightened the reins and stopped firmly. Ji Si and his party were on the mountain road in the distance.

Ji Si seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly stopped, looking around.

"What's wrong with Ji Shilang?" Kong Lingqiu asked.

"It's nothing." Ji Si shook his head, then smiled at a certain place behind him.

Birds chirped in the forest, and horseshoes continued to clatter, and he seemed to hear a sentence among them.

"Take care of yourself!"
