Offer a tripod

The palace servants who delivered the dinner came like flowing water, and waited at the entrance of the hall. Fang Qing came out to take a look, and saw that the dishes were all Yuan Jing's favorite, and guessed that sending them in would make the person inside furious , So he made his own claim and let them all go.Chu Yu stood in the wind with his face sinking like water, looking into the sky, Fang Qing hesitated for a moment, and said: "My lord, before your Majesty has gone far, let's get him back."

Chu Yu didn't change his eyes, looked at the wind and snow all over the sky, and said coldly: "What are you looking for him to do, let him kill me again?"

Seeing his right hand clenched tightly, Fang Qing didn't seem to be as indifferent as he said, and knew that he was used to pride and couldn't lower his head.Today the emperor is well, so he dared to show such an indifferent attitude. If something happened to that one, he would regret it.There are thousands of back and forth in my mind, but I can't persuade.At this moment, the ring pendant jingled behind him, and a faint fragrance floated. Fang Qing turned around and saw a tall and slender figure slowly walking over.He recognized that this was the honored guest that Chu Yu had invited from the frontier, and hurriedly bowed respectfully.

When Chu Yu saw her, his expression softened a little, he stretched out his hand to help her sit down, and said, "Send someone to call me for something, it's so cold outside, why did you come here in person?" He waved his hand and signaled Fang Qing to close the door and window.Ji Xin put down the soup cup and said in a warm voice: "Today I have time to make some food, I want to bring it for you to taste." Lifting the lid of the cup, pushed the fragrant porcelain cup in front of him.

This is what Chu Yu often ate when he was recuperating in Chaoyue Valley, and it took a lot of effort to cook it. Even if he was not in the mood, he couldn't help her kindness.After a taste, he looked at her in surprise.Ji Xin held her chin and said, "I can't find some spices here. The taste is not as good as before. I don't know if it still suits your taste."

Seeing her expression, Chu Yu knew she meant something, took another sip, and said lightly: "It's okay, I like whatever I like."

Ji Xin looked at him quietly, and suddenly asked: "Is it the same for him?" Chu Yu didn't expect that she would speak up about this matter, and after a moment of surprise, his face darkened again.Ji Xin said: "The day I entered the palace, I watched you at the door for a long time. I have never seen you look at a person like this. Even when you stood on the Minglu Terrace and looked at Chaoyue Valley, your eyes were not so focused. Yes." Seeing that Chu Yu opened his mouth to speak, she comforted: "I didn't mean to blame you. It was an accident that year. Later, you rebuilt Chaoyue Valley and buried my people. I refused to leave. Guard me in the windy and sandy place. I know that you want to treat us well. You should do the same to your king. During the few days when he was in a coma, I saw that you didn’t eat or sleep. I called your name once in a dream, and you were trembling while holding his hand. You personally placed thousands of lotus lamps for him, praying for him to wake up, but he did wake up, but you refused to share those tender feelings I gave it to him. When I was in Chaoyue Valley, your soldiers told me many stories about you. They said that you were the bravest warrior they had ever seen. Even the unruly wolf king on the Heqi grassland had surrendered to you. When I heard them talk about this, I remembered the scene where you jumped into the fire and rescued me. At that time, I thought you would have nothing to be afraid of. But after I came here, I saw you countless times because of him What are you afraid of when you're standing still?"

Chu Yu said coldly: "I'm not afraid of anything, it's just that he doesn't deserve it."

Ji Xin said: "You are scared. Elder Yizhong told me before he died, let me not hate you. This kind of feeling can torture me, but it can't hurt you. Your heart is cold and empty. But now someone It’s been filled for you, and you’re afraid of being taken away again.”

Chu Yu's fingertips trembled slightly, but his tone did not waver: "It's just useless things, even if they are really gone, they are worthless."

Ji Xin sighed and said: "It is not useless, you have seen it before, when you are most helpless, it brings you the whole spring, every flower, every leaf, when you are most helpless. The rain exists for you, as long as you see it blooming in front of your eyes once, you will never be cold again in this lifetime."

Chu Yu said indifferently: "As long as the things you care about are held in your hands, what does it matter whether the flowers bloom or spring comes? If you really can't hold it, there is no need to care about it. I know you still miss your clansmen, It’s just that after so many years, it’s time to let go.”

Ji Xin shook her head, the veil on her face was blown away by the breeze, and the hideous scars on her cheeks were looming, she said sadly: "I can't let it go, after so long, I still dream of the days when I was with the clansmen in the past A Yu, can you really let go? You drove him away, but ordered the city gates to be closed, and no one was allowed to come in or out. If you want to find it, you might as well bring him back sooner. He suffered a serious injury in his heart. Every night I was with him, I would see him waking up from a nightmare. Although I don’t know why you guys are making such a fuss , but if there is anyone in this world who can heal him, then only you, go and bring him back, heal his wounds, and heal your own."

Chu Yu was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I have my own plan for this matter, don't worry about it." After a few sips of soup, when he got up, he paused: "Don't worry about him, he wants to leave Just let him go, and when he suffers enough, he will come back." With the sound of boots, he went to the place where he slept yesterday.

Ji Xin heard his overtones and sighed softly.When I went outside, I saw the moon was hidden and the stars were sparse, and the snow was not stopping, and the vast world was full of chills.

There is a curfew at night in Beijing, and there are no pedestrians on the street. In addition, the funeral of the late emperor has not yet passed, and even the lamps and candles on the brothels, Chu halls, and painting boats are hidden behind the windows. Looking around, the surrounding area is dark.

Wrapped in clothes, Yuan Jing leaned against the wall blankly, looking up at the night sky.This escape was unexpected, he was completely unprepared, after leaving the palace, he thought about it and planned to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, before making any plans.

Unexpectedly, when he touched the vicinity of the prime minister's mansion, he saw a group of soldiers holding torches guarding the surroundings. He recognized that these people were the forbidden army assigned by Gui Chuyu, and hurriedly hid.I don't know if it's an illusion, but tonight patrolling officers and soldiers can be seen everywhere, and he was able to shelter in this alley by hiding from left to right.At this time, he didn't know that Chu Yu ordered the city gate to be closed for the next few days, and no one was allowed to enter or leave casually, but he vaguely felt that he might not let him go so easily.If he refused to let it go, then it would be useless for him to escape to the ends of the earth, but the cage was bigger.

Night Breeze was bitingly cold, and the pain in his right shoulder hurt even worse. He clutched his shoulder and sighed softly. For a while, he lost all the strength to be angry.

After finally making it to dawn, he was stiff from the cold and walked avoiding people all the way. When he reached Longjin Bridge, the street was already full of people, even more lively than before.Yuan Jing didn't know how Chu Yu hid the palace change from his mouth, but seeing this scene now, he felt a little at ease.The market is full of fragrance, even the morning mist is dyed with a greasy fragrance.Yuan Jing hadn't eaten since yesterday, and now he was so hungry that his legs were trembling when he walked. He came to the gate of the city hungry and cold, but saw many people leaving and returning, complaining in his mouth that he didn't know what it was today No matter what day, you will be interrogated every time you go out of the city.

Yuan Jing leaned over and looked, and saw that the main entrance was closed, leaving only a side entrance, and seventy or eighty imperial guards were checking the passers-by who came out one by one.After thinking about it for a while, he understood, and suddenly he was so angry that he didn't even feel hungry or cold.

At this time, only one person beside him said in a low voice: "Could it be that the emperor is not well? I saw that when the former emperor passed away, no one was allowed to enter or leave the city gate at will." The other person waved his hand again and again: "Don't talk nonsense, our emperor Not yet 20 years old, so young, how can it be so easy to go." The man pondered: "Although that is the case, the emperor has been ill for a month or two, and even the government is in charge of the government. It's so cold so early, people are sick, it's hard."

The whispers gradually faded away, Yuan Jing stood in the wind, was pushed and shoved a few times by passers-by, then covered his face with his sleeves, and walked forward with his head down.At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind: "He is regretting it, he... really won't let me go." Thinking of the days after being captured by him again, I felt that the sky was dark, and I saw the Bian River next to me, so I really wanted to jump in It's all over, but his hatred is still there, and he is really not reconciled.But he didn't know that his muddled appearance had been stared at by others.

Although there were not many officers and soldiers on the street at this time, Yuanjing was already afraid, and walked along the way where there were few people.When he walked to a remote alley, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, as if he had been hit hard by someone. He turned around and saw a few men with mean faces and mischievous eyes surrounding him. The leader of the people.Yuan Jing's thoughts hadn't turned yet, seeing this scene, he asked in a daze, "Who are you?"

The man stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of his neck, lifted him upside down and shook him a few times, he didn't want to think that this little man looked rich and noble, but he couldn't get a big man out of his body.It was only at this time that Yuan Jing came to his senses and struggled to say: "Bastard, who are you, let me...let me go!"

The person standing behind him was afraid that he would yell, so he summoned the officers and soldiers. He lifted his leg and kicked it right on the bridge of the nose. , unable to speak for a long time.The man searched him, not to mention the silver, even the gold bracelet and jade lock, he didn't touch half of it, he closed his hand angrily and said: "Boss, there is nothing!"

The man glared at him: "No money?" He raised him up a bit, and saw that he had handsome features, and even his clothes smelled of incense. He was undoubtedly a son of a rich family, and he felt cheated, so he spit To his face: "Boy, if you have money, quickly take it out, don't ask grandpas to do it!"

Yuan Jing was hanging upside down in the air, his cheeks were already flushed, he wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, and said coldly, "I don't have any money, just kill me."

The man was about to get angry, when Fang Feng's subordinates suddenly yelled: "Boss, someone is coming!" Can't see it anymore.When the group fled, one of them winked at the clothes on Yuanjing's body. The leading man saw that the fur coat was as white as snow, fluffy and smooth, and the inner lining was made of a whole bolt of Shu brocade. Rare and good stuff.He was overjoyed, this move was not in vain, he did it himself, took off his clothes, and walked away.

Yuan Jing's face was covered with blood, and now he was half kneeling on the ground covering his head. He heard the sound of uniform footsteps behind him, and with a little strength, he ran forward in a panic.When the patrolling imperial guards arrived, they saw a piece of clothes hidden in the corner of the street, as if they hadn't gone far. One of them wanted to chase after him, but the leader stretched out his hand to stop him, shaking his head solemnly, indicating that he didn't have to worry about it. Taking another look at the dirty and bloody ground and the miscellaneous footprints, he led the person away as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Jing stumbled and ran a long way, but he stopped after seeing no pursuers behind him.He really had no clue about the twists and turns of the streets and alleys in central Beijing, and for some reason, he walked to a remote street.The courtyard here is desolate, there are few pedestrians, and even the wind blows faster than other places.But after walking a few more steps, there was chatter and laughter.He stood still in front of a wine shop with black felt curtains.For the national mourning, the folks are not allowed to drink and have fun. This place seems to be a place outside the law because of the small number of people. It is not yet the time for the long-term workers to rest and eat, and many people have gathered there.

Yuan Jing stood there for a moment, and suddenly thought: "Where did Cao Ruyi go?" He had a strong premonition in his heart, always feeling that they were still in the capital, and if they could find him, there would be some way.Just as he was lost in thought, the shopkeeper lifted the curtain and came out suddenly. He pasted the recruitment notice on the doorpost, and when he turned around, he saw someone behind him in a daze.He looked at the thinly clad Yuan Jing, and said slowly, "Are you here to recruit?" Yuan Jing hesitated for a moment, then nodded uncomfortably.The shop owner's eyes were unique, and he saw that Yuan Jing was not like an ordinary worker, so he nodded and said, "Then come in."

Yuan Jing followed him into the door, the smell of alcohol and sweat came over his face, making him take a step back.Someone said loudly: "Old Qian, buy another jug ​​of wine."

The shop owner called Laoqian smiled and said: "Come here." The clerk leaning against the cabinet put down the pen for keeping accounts, and went away in response, taking a jug from the cabinet full of jugs and sending it to him.When he came back, he almost collided with the guy who delivered the food, cursed dirtyly, and went back to the cabinet to settle accounts.

Laoqian asked someone to bring over a cotton coat that other guys didn't wear. Perhaps it had been in the closet for a long time, and the clothes gave off a damp and musty smell. Yuan Jing wore them, but it wasn't very cold anymore, but it didn't take long. Feeling itching on the back of the neck, I scratched it with my hand, and a wriggling bedbug came out and hurriedly threw it on the ground.

Old Qian was holding a teapot, and said slowly, "Have you ever done this before?" Yuan Jing was still in shock, feeling that his body was itching so badly, he scratched it from time to time, and before he could answer, he heard the shopkeeper hum softly: "Look You have never done this before, go to the back kitchen to help for a few days." Yuan Jing gave a low hum, and turned around and said: "Thank you."

So far, he stayed in this wine shop.Although this restaurant is not big, it has a lot of contacts.Every evening, many traffickers and pawns gather here, and the upstairs and downstairs are full of friends.There are only four long-term workers in the back kitchen. Yuan Jing was sent to wash dishes and chopsticks. It was his first time to do this job of serving people. , all ten fingers were swollen, and the pain in his right shoulder never ceased even for a moment, and he often had to work until midnight before he could rest.Even so, he was too busy to serve these many people with both hands, and he had to be scolded a few times.After a few days, I heard all the ugly words.

When there was no one in the middle of the night, he thought about this matter, and he understood a little bit.If Chu Yu really wanted to find someone, he might have already found him.He closed the gate of the city tightly, but let himself ignore it, probably because he wanted to make himself suffer.Thinking of this, I sneered in my heart.In the next few days, the river water turned into snow water with icicles, and at night, no one was there, and he was sent to the cabinet to settle accounts. He was so sleepy that his eyelids were shaking, and he fell asleep standing up once.He was not in good health at all, after half a month of suffering, he was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, because of the bad breath in his heart, he kept holding on and refused to give in.

The owner of the shop didn't just treat him only by squeezing. When he woke up this morning, he saw that he was sluggish, and he was still shivering from time to time. When he touched his forehead casually, his forehead seemed to be on fire, so he asked the chef to make ginger soup for him all night, and sent him away. Serving wine and delivering food is such a light job.

This day was the winter solstice, and the shop had boiled Laba porridge, and the shop owner ordered that each table be served with a pot.Yuan Jing's body was hot and cold, and his legs trembled when he walked. For a short distance, walking was like a thousand mountains and rivers.A thick-backed man waited impatiently, and scolded: "Hurry up, look at your slow look, can't you steal someone's little lady last night?" Surrounded by some rough men, after hearing this sentence Everyone laughed at the dirty words.The person sitting across from him continued: "Look at the way he walks with three steps, it's not like stealing, it's almost the same as being stolen."

Not counting the dirty words on his lips, seeing him approaching, he stretched out his hand to pinch his slender waist.Yuan Jing was taken aback, his wrist suddenly lost strength, and a pot of boiling hot porridge fell over and flowed down the table.The man who provoked the trouble before avoided it, was burned, and suddenly became furious, grabbed him, and slapped him on the head.Yuanjing's ears roared continuously after being hit by him, his nasal cavity was hot, and a stream of hot liquid flowed to his mouth. He sucked it hard, and his mouth was full of rust.

The onlookers saw that he was going to do something, so they stopped joking and tried to persuade him a few words. Finally, the shop owner came out to smooth things over, brought a pot of hot wine, and brought Yuan Jing over to make amends.There were several fingerprints on Yuan Jing's cheeks, and even the corners of his eyes were swollen.Being pushed to the front, he opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

The man was so hot-tempered, and when he saw him like this, he became even more angry, pointing and scolding: "Who is showing such a gloomy look, I want to make amends, okay! Kneel down and kowtow three times to Grandpa!"

Yuan Jing's hand holding the jug trembled slightly, he closed his eyes, and slammed the jug on the ground like a boat sinking, and turned to leave.

When the man saw that he had lost his temper, he immediately flew into a rage, and with five fingers, he was about to bring him back and beat him up.The shopkeeper tried his best to stop him, and then told the guy next to him to drive Yuanjing out with winks.Yuan Jing didn't plead for mercy, didn't bring anything, opened the felt curtain, and plunged into the ice and snow.

It was a long time after he left that the commotion in the restaurant subsided.The man stepped on the bench, cursing in his mouth, taking this step back, as if he had suffered a great loss.But at this moment, the closed door upstairs suddenly opened, and a man in black came out.There was suddenly silence in the noisy wine shop, his breath was too gloomy, everyone felt a little cold, they unconsciously hugged their arms tightly, and all looked up at his tall figure.

His gaze passed over everyone and landed on the man, who stood up involuntarily after seeing him.He was originally a burly and strong figure, but when the man walked in front of him, he was a head shorter than others, his previous aura suddenly disappeared, he swallowed his saliva, and said: "You..."

After saying one word, Chu Yu said indifferently, "Which hand touched him just now?"

The man took a step back. Although he pressed his hand on the ax hanging by his waist, his wrist was shaking non-stop, and he didn't even have the strength to draw it out. He just wanted to run away.But seeing a flash of cold light, Chu Yu's saber had already been unsheathed, and after a burst of blood mist, the man clutched his severed hand and cried endlessly.Chu Yu kicked him away, he rolled a few times, hit his head on the bluestone steps, and passed out.The person who made fun of him before saw Chu Yu looking at him, his knees softened, he knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, I didn't know he was your face... I didn't know he was your man, please forgive me!" Little man..."

Chu Yu slapped the table with his palm, and the bowl and chopsticks flew up. He picked up the tip of the knife, and a bamboo chopstick pierced the man's cheek like a flying star. The man vomited a few times, his tongue was pierced, and he screamed I can't call out either.Seeing his murderous look, the shop owner was flustered when he remembered how harshly he had treated Yuan Jing. Now he hid behind the cabinet and shivered, afraid that he would notice him.

After a while, someone outside said in shock: "Is he... gone?" He poked his head out, and saw that the curtain door was shaking, and the evil god from before had already left, stepping on the ground covered with blood.

Yuan Jing walked aimlessly along the river.He was very dizzy, and when he looked at the water, he always felt that someone was calling him, and he almost fell into it.Knowing that going on like this would not last long, he was about to stop and take a rest, but he heard a peddler selling sugar figurines behind him being stopped. He turned around and saw that the last string of sugar figurines on the stretcher had also been bought. up.

Immediately, the golden knife is just a small hero.The one who took the sugar figurine was a young child, jumping up and down, looking very happy.

Yuan Jing fumbled in his pocket, and took out a dozen copper coins, which were his hard earned money these days.He walked up to the mother and child, half squatted on the ground, and held the money over: "This is all my money, and I will give it to you. Can you give me this bunch of sugar figures?"

Seeing his face covered in blood, the young mother exclaimed, took her son's hand, and avoided him as much as possible.Yuan Jing stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was in vain. His center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground. Once he sat down, he couldn't stand up again.It was getting colder and colder, and his tiredness was getting deeper and deeper. He sat in the snow and silently hugged his knees.

When the tears welled up, a small hand shook on his shoulder, and he wiped his cheek with the back of his hand before raising his head, but it was the mother and child just now.

The toddler had a tender face, with black and bright eyes, he carefully handed the sugar figurine to Yuan Jing, and said timidly, "Brother, this is for you, don't cry."

Yuan Jing's throat was clogged, and his nose was so sore, he took it, gathered up the scattered copper plates, and handed them over: "Thank you." The voice fell into the wind, and it dissipated in an instant.The mother didn't ask for his money either, she grabbed her son's hand and muttered, "Okay, I've already given it to someone else, hurry up and go home with Aunt."

The child walked a long way, turned around and waved his hands: "Brother, you should go home quickly."

When they disappeared, Chu Yu's figure appeared at the end of the wind and snow.He held a lantern in his hand, the surrounding area was dark, but there was still a cluster of light in his hand.

Yuan Jing watched him walk in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said softly: "...What are you here for?"

Chu Yu looked at him quietly, the heavy snow continued, Yuan Jing's black hair was covered with snow, and his whole body turned pale, his winter clothes were empty, as if there was wind blowing inside.Chu Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and after a while, he half-kneeled in front of Yuan Jing, touched his swollen cheek, and immediately unfolded the fox-fur cloak to wrap him tightly.Yuan Jing lay on his back, always feeling as if he had fallen into a big dream, his consciousness kept sinking, he reached out to grab something, but he couldn't catch anything.

He leaned on Chu Yu's shoulder, looked at the sugar figurine in his hand, and said in a weak voice, "...does it look good? I can't live without you..."

Chu Yu didn't speak, he suddenly remembered that when he and Yuan Jing met for the first time, it was also in such a snowy day.Yuan Jing lay on his back, chatting to him like a bird. When he looked at him, his eyes were shy and curious, as if there were stars hidden inside. It's a weight that I can't let go.

He turned his head and took a bite on the sugar figurine. When the small piece of sugar melted in his mouth, he only tasted bitter.

Chu Yu suddenly had a feeling of regret that he had never felt before, but this feeling was too strange, and he was at a loss for a while, he looked at the foggy snow in the distance, and said softly: "Well, I want to see it for a lifetime. "
