You hear it, do people say it?

Southwest, Rongzhou.

The third prince, dressed in light armor, squatted in front of the tent in a nondescript manner, looked at Xun Yi who was dealing with affairs not far away, and asked Feng Yun beside him loudly: "Old Feng, what time is it today?"

As soon as Feng Yun thought about it, he knew what kind of bad idea he was going to come up with, and immediately replied in cooperation: "Today is 23, and the first month will be born in a few days."

"Hey-ah-23! Then the news that our life and death are uncertain should be sent back to the capital! Guess how much-worse-heart it will be if someone on the top of the heart hears the news --ah--!!"

The volume of his words was even louder than before, the soldiers around him had already become very close to several generals after getting along with each other these days; seeing one of them taking the lead in ridiculing the other, it was still such an irritating topic, and suddenly They all became curious, and booed one after another, and the camp was very lively for a while.

Xun Yi paused as he was about to go out, walked back to the tent, looked at him and said indifferently: "You can shut up if you can't speak."

The third prince looked at his displeased face, and became even more excited: "When I told you to leave, I didn't tell them well. Now they must be worried about you, afraid of eating and drinking, and tearful and anxious all day long. Tsk, Xun Xingzhi, Xun Xingzhi , You said you committed many crimes!"

Feng Yun stabbed a big knife at the gap: "According to his personality, he definitely wouldn't cry in front of others. It is estimated that most of them are enduring it, which is more uncomfortable than crying."

He was already in a state of agitation in his heart, and at this moment, knowing that these two people were mocking him, he still couldn't help imagining it, and his mood became even worse. Just as he was about to speak, the passing adjutant spoke first: "Your Highness, This is your fault!"

The burly man was holding a stack of documents in his hand, and looked at Xun Yi with an upright face: "It's not easy for us marching and fighting people to have a confidant, so we must tell the truth about everything! You don't know anything. Just leave as soon as you say it, and let the girl hang there, how angry and sad she will be!

A military doctor with a married family passing by slowly: "That's right! In case when the news of your death spreads back, they are still angry, turn around and marry another family, and you will regret it when you go back!"

Many of the soldiers who went to the expedition were married, and when they saw someone start, they immediately echoed.

Standing in the crowd, His Royal Highness Prince Ping, who was brilliant on the battlefield and well-mannered in the capital, understood for the first time what true criticism is.

The third prince and Feng Yun stood outside, watching the fun without their own business.

Knowing that these two cannot be counted on, Xun Yi sighed and sent the crowd away, before walking up to the two of them: "Why don't you stay here and I'll go?"

"Let's go out together. If we win, we will return to the court together. How can you go first?" The third prince pretended to stop.

"King Yi looks half-dead. I'm afraid he will travel west on a crane before the imperial decree comes out. So it's reasonable to send him back to Beijing first."

Xun Yi didn't joke with him, he really wanted to go back to the capital.

A few days ago, they left the capital in a hurry, but after half a day, the envoys of the Holy Majesty chased them over and told them the news that King Yi was about to rebel.

King Yi's plan was good, but it's a pity that Tuyuhun, whom he wanted to win over, has always had a good relationship with our dynasty, and the border trade has been very stable, so naturally he didn't want to go through this troubled water; King Tuyuhun pretended to agree to King Yi At the same time, he sent envoys all the way to the capital to tell the whole thing to the Holy One, earning enough favor.

As for the battle report that said that the life and death of the three were uncertain, on the one hand, it was to confuse King Yi on the battlefield and lure the enemy to go deep, and on the other hand, it was to catch those people with abnormal thoughts in the court.The next day's good news was naturally delivered to the Holy Majesty's desk alone.

It's a pity that this plan came too hastily and was very confidential. Xun Yi couldn't tell Funing, nor could he know his current state.

The third prince frowned: "But all he suffered were superficial injuries, in case he recovered halfway..."

"It's okay, I'll stab him twice to keep him dying when he's almost healed."

The third prince: ".......It's really the most poisonous man's heart."

Seeing that they were serious, Feng Yun also came over to listen. The three of them spoke in full swing, and even thought about which way would be the closest, but they never took action—after all, the intention to return to Beijing has not come yet. .

It was not until mid-February that the imperial decree came late.

However, in this imperial decree, in addition to ordering the army to choose a day to return to the court to receive the reward, there is a separate imperial decree attached:

At the beginning of the war, the southwest is waiting for prosperity, so it cannot be left alone.Xun Yi, the son of King Ping, is of excellent character. He has achieved success in the fight against chaos this time. He intends to stay in Rongzhou temporarily to deal with the affairs left by King Yi. He will not return to Beijing until the southwest is settled.

The envoy who read out handed the imperial decree to Xun Yi: "His Royal Highness, please accept the decree."

The third prince's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to stop him, but he was grabbed by Feng Yun who was at the side.

Feng Yun looked at him and shook his head slightly: This is an imperial decree, it is useless for you to stop it.

"Uh, His Royal Highness?" Seeing that Xun Yi hadn't moved for a long time, the envoy couldn't help reminding him.

"Minister—receive the order." Xun Yi stretched out his hand, held the thin scroll in his hand, and thanked the envoy politely.

Until the crowd who listened to the decree dispersed, until the top of the moon, there was nothing unusual about Xun Yi's expression.The third prince was worried about his condition, but he didn't know how to speak, he just said repeatedly: "When I get to the capital, I will definitely plead with my father to let you come back as soon as possible."

Xun Yi said, "Impossible."

He looked at the third prince and smiled: "Uncle Huang will not suddenly order me to stay in the southwest. There is only one reason for him to do this - my mother has not left the capital yet."

The third prince was startled: "But didn't she say that day that she had to leave in a hurry in the second day of junior high school?"

"Perhaps something has held her back and made her insist on staying in the capital." Xun Yi said lightly, "But it's not important. Although Uncle Huang's decree is unavoidable, Southwest really needs to keep people To maintain it, it is indeed more troublesome for me to be directly responsible than to send another person to resettle."

The third prince had nothing to say, and sighed: "What's the matter?" He said, thinking that he always made fun of Fu Ning and Xun Yi a few days ago, he was so regretful that he wished to go back to the past He grabbed himself and beat him hard.

Feng Yun has never been very good at comforting people, but seeing that the two of them were silent, he thought about it and said: "After returning to Beijing, if someone wants to provoke him, I will ask Feng Yu to help you disrupt the situation. get away."

Xun Yi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

Four years passed in a blink of an eye, and it was another year of winter in the blink of an eye.

Xun Yi had finished approving the official documents for the day and was about to take a break when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the court.

The soldiers guarding the door immediately walked over and said a few words to the person who came, and came back with a smile on his face after a while, and said to Xun Yi: "Your Highness, there is a letter from the capital!"

Xun Yi cheered up: "Let me see it."

The soldier smiled and sent the letter to Xun Yi's desk: "My lord, take a look slowly, I'll show you!" After he finished speaking, he walked out in small steps of gossip, and closed the door carefully up.

Xun Yi watched him operate for a while, and lowered his head dumbfoundingly. When he saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Although he has never met Funing these years, he has exchanged quite a few letters.Even if he wasn't around, he could still probably know some news about Funing.

Even if you don't read the letter and just walk around the city of Rongzhou, you can occasionally hear the common people talking about how the champion who was newly appointed last year is like a legend. How did Guozixue in the capital get such good grades in the spring examination, and entered the imperial court in a glorious manner.

Every time he hears this, Xun Yi always feels a secret sense of pride - the person he likes should be like this glamorous person.But apart from being proud, there is always some regret in his heart - I don't know what he looks like now after all these years?

Opening the letter paper, it was Fu Ning's usual greeting, but apart from the greeting, the first letter paper was actually blank.

Is it a secret language?

Xun Yi was stunned for a moment, then moved his eyes to the candle beside him, thinking about the possibility that the words could be reflected on the back of the paper when he put the paper on it, and opened the second page.

The next moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and the hand holding the letter suddenly tightened.

The second page is still empty, only a simple sentence is written in the center:

Let's wait until Mingxiao is dark, and we will talk about the lights with you.

There was no signature at the end, but there was a very delicately painted beautiful lantern, which was exactly the one that Xun Yi personally made for Funing that year.

Originally, there were still some twists and turns in the design, but in this special situation recently, I am a little bit stuck_(:з」∠)_Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, let’s give everyone some candy w Finishing preparations!Can you order some sweet extras if you want to watch~?
