Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

Because the post house where Yan Ci lived was much closer than the inn where Du Zijin lived, Du Zijin was temporarily arranged to stay in the post house.The doctor came and cleaned the wound carefully. At this moment, Yan Ci was sitting on Du Zijin's bedside with a decoction.

"Your Highness. If this soup is too cold, it will be more bitter than when it's hot. Your Highness should drink it while it's hot." Yan Ci advised.Du Zijin took the medicine bowl from Yan Ci with a smile and drank it down.

The official of the official department also stood aside with his hands down, and said, "The people who came here are all skilled. One of our people died and three were injured. But the bandit was beaten and injured by His Highness. They were all withdrawn. There was nothing left behind. The villain is really, really hard to check."

Du Zijin smiled, took out a piece of cloth from his arms and threw it towards the official. There were obvious tear marks on it, and the only remaining part had a complicated embroidered pattern.

Although it was torn in half by the rip, it can still be seen that it looks like a dark cloud covering the moon. It is more like an emblem than a pattern. The official took a look at the piece of cloth and couldn't help shaking. flick.

"This... is this the White Moon Sect?" Beads of sweat were dripping from the official's forehead, his heart was beating like a drum, and he was very anxious. Wasn't the White Moon Sect wiped out by the court three years ago?Why did it appear again in Yunzhou at this moment?What's more, this White Moon Sect involves...

"I tore this off from the gangster when I fought against him. You should write a letter and let the emperor know that your official duties are not here. Don't panic about this. The case involves a lot, so naturally Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment will take over, you just have to do it."

The official pinched the strip of cloth, but felt very embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, he said hesitantly, "Your Highness ordered, and the villain should follow it, but it's just Bai Yuejiao..."

Du Zijin lowered his eyelids slightly, and said, "The Seventh Brother of the Emperor was indeed implicated because of the White Moon Sect, but those rumors are just chasing after the wind. If you are afraid that the White Moon Sect will reappear and implicate the Seventh Emperor Brother, don't you agree that you also think that the Seventh Prince has something to do with the Bai Yue Sect."

"Yes, yes, I'm confused, I'm going to write it now, I'm going to write it now." The official saluted repeatedly before bowing back.

Yan Ci watched the official leave, so he took an empty medicine bowl and was about to leave, when Du Zijin suddenly pulled his sleeves and said, "My injury is fine."

Yan Ci stretched out his hand and pulled back his sleeve, and said, "It's really all right. The doctor said that although there was a lot of blood, they avoided the vital parts. Your Highness is lucky, and he will be back to normal in two days."

Du Zijin smiled and said, "My own subordinates always know how to measure."

Yan Ci was taken aback for a moment, then lowered the leg that was just about to be raised, his eyes were filled with shock, "What did Your Highness say?"

Du Zijin made up his mind not to hide anything from Yan Ci, so he replied seriously, "I was assassinated in the inn yesterday, and I belonged to Lao Qi, but they are all clean, there is no way to prove that I belong to Lao Qi .”

Seeing that Yan Ci was listening, Du Zijin continued, "I can't suffer in vain. It's really not obvious, so let's use fake ones to make it more obvious."

Yan Ci was speechless for a moment, but felt that he didn't know what it was like, so he only held the empty medicine bowl and asked, "What does that have to do with Bai Yuejiao?"

Du Zijin liked Yan Ci's questions very much, and this process always made him feel that he could understand Yan Ci's questions better through Yan Ci's questions.

Du Zijin said casually, "Seventh brother was conferred the title of Prince, but later he was deprived of the title, no different from other princes. It is because of the Baiyue Sect. About three years ago, the Baiyue Sect started in southern Xinjiang. Most of the congregation know the art of witchcraft.

Southern Xinjiang is also a frontier, and the imperial court is out of reach for a while.By the time the court realized it, the Baiyue Sect had already reached a certain scale.

They secretly colluded with the forces in the world, good and evil mixed up, although they had no objection, but once they were owned by one person, especially the prince who was close to the imperial power.Over there is the court's biggest thorn in the side. "

Yan Ci looked at the calm man in front of him, waiting for him to continue telling the truth.But Du Zijin suddenly laughed, squeezed Yan Ci's face, and said, "Ah Ci's expression?"

Yan Ci reached out and knocked Du Zijin's hand away, and said, "Then the White Moon Sect is controlled by the Seventh Prince behind the scenes? So you want to draw the White Moon Sect out again, so that the Emperor has a grudge against the Seventh Prince?"

Du Zijin shook his head, and said calmly, "Bai Yuejiao. I'm the one controlling it."

Yan Ci's hand was unsteady, and the medicine bowl was about to fall to the ground to be broken into pieces of porcelain, but Du Zijin quickly picked it up with a sharp hand.

Du Zijin picked up the medicine bowl and put it on the small table, and said, "The seventh emperor brother is also the southern border that I led him to. Therefore, Bai Yuejiao has nothing to do with the seventh emperor brother, but he went to southern border not long ago. , Baiyuejiao began to be known to the court slowly. It was also my arrangement."

"So, you just let the emperor always have doubts about the seventh prince, but you can't find any evidence. If you can't find the evidence itself, it will definitely make the emperor have a guess that the seventh prince is too thoughtful, and thus have deeper suspicions about the seventh prince. .”

Yan Ci expressed his guess, "From the beginning to the end, this is the basin of dirty water you prepared for the Seventh Prince."

Du Zijin nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face as if he was talking about the green leaves outside, and said, "A Ci is really smart, but his heart is too simple."

Yan Ci only felt that the person in front of him was too insidious and terrifying, so he looked at Du Zijin and said, "You are born from the same mother, and you are brothers, so you have to be like this?"

Du Zijin still smiled happily, and said, "A Ci is not only simple in heart, but also too kind. If he is a fuel-efficient lamp, why should I bother?"

Yan Ci opened his mouth, unable to speak, only felt a deep sense of powerlessness, but also felt that Du Zijin seemed to be enjoying the fun here, so he was speechless for a while, and just stared at Du Zijin.

Looking at Yan Ci's expression, Du Zijin understood his feelings a little bit, and simply took this opportunity to say everything in one go, "A Ci still remembers the jade carving I gave you."

When Yan Ci thought of the jade carving, he thought of hearing the conversation between Du Zijin and Ah Jiu under the flowers in the Prince's Mansion, and his heart still ached till now.

Yan Ci lowered his head in silence, and the slender and graceful neck fell into Du Zijin's eyes, reminding him of the elegant white crane in the White Crane Valley.

Knowing that Yan Ci thought about it, Du Zijin said, "The jade carving is a token between my mother and the leader of the Yehe clan. My mother once saved his life, and the jade carving is enough to mobilize a hundred thousand soldiers of the Yehe clan.

But my mother's mentality is not like ordinary people's little daughter, she even acquiesced in the seventh brother taking the jade carving from me.

At the beginning, I plotted against you, so I gave the jade pendant to you for safekeeping, just to divert the attention of the seventh brother.

Second, to buy your heart, you have a pure nature, I am assured that this jade carving is in your hands.Thinking about it now, it would be better to explain it to you from the very beginning. "

Yan Ci only felt that at this moment, Du Zijin was really terrified by what Du Zijin said. There were too many things in his heart that he couldn't tell clearly, so he said, "Your Highness is so exhaustive, why did you tell me everything today? It's still His Highness who didn't know what he said today. The words are also half-truths and half-false, and there are countless actions."

Du Zijin gently supported his forehead.With a wry smile, "Is this my retribution. At this moment, I have a full heart, and Ah Ci doesn't believe me anymore. It's just my heart, and Ah Ci can believe it or not. The future will be long, and Ah Ci will naturally know. It's true."

It was just now that the sun was still hot outside, but after noon it became cloudy a little bit, at this moment the cool wind suddenly picked up, the summer heat outside dissipated, only the cool breeze was left, gently blowing the sky and the earth.

The towering old trees outside the post house shook their heads to summon the wind and rain, and Yan Ci even felt a little bit chilly.

Yan Ci hugged his shoulders and said, "What Your Highness said is true or false, and what does it have to do with Yan Ci? Please rest, Your Highness. Yan Ci will leave."

Just as Yan Ci got up, Du Zijin pulled Yan Ci hard and fell onto the bed. Yan Ci was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Du Zijin smiled slightly, stretched the thin quilt on his body, and wrapped Yan Ci He got up and said, "It's windy outside, although it's summer, but the seasons come and go, don't get sick. This is your room, I'll go somewhere else."

Yan Ci hid under the quilt, thinking that Du Zijin was injured, and if he saw the wind, it would be bad, so he couldn't help but struggled to stretch out an arm.Pulling off Du Zijin's sleeve, he said, "Your Highness..."

Du Zijin smiled with his back to Yan Ci, then held back the smile, turned around and said, "A Ci, what's wrong?"

Yan Ci blushed, and said, "You...you don't go." After speaking, his face turned red like a brightly blooming canna in the prince's mansion.

Still lightly licking Du Zijin's sleeves with her fair and slender fingers, she said after a long time, "Your Highness, just come back, I... I'll just have my clothes delivered to me. Your Highness is a prince. You are injured. If you catch the wind, it will be bad."

Du Zijin smiled and said, "What should I do? Because what I said just now is too important, I have already told all the servants to retreat, so I don't have to wait on them. I'm afraid Ah Ci won't be able to call anyone at this moment."

Yan Ci was taken aback for a moment, and quickly let go of his hand, saying, "Then please come up to rest quickly, Your Highness, Ah Ci is not cold."

Du Zijin clearly saw Yan Ci hugging his shoulders just now, but at this moment he insisted that he was not cold, so he smiled, "Ah Ci is not cold, but I am cold, maybe it is because of my injury, this rainy day, I am actually wrapped The quilt also feels cold. I really don't know what to do."

Yan Ci lay on the bed, half-wrapped in the quilt, with a beautiful face twisted into a ball, and said, "I have a way, Your Highness, come up."

Du Zijin smiled and climbed into the quilt, but Yan Ci climbed out, took three steps in two, went to the outside and tied the veil to the pillar, gently pulled the veil, and the red curtain Fall slowly.

Du Zijin saw Yan Ci run out from under the quilt, his darkened face only looked at Yan Ci gravely, Yan Ci was wearing the single clothes he wore when he went to Yuxi River in the morning, and now he was covered by a red curtain , Dragging to the ground, it made Du Zijin's eyes shine, the beauty is beautiful without knowing it, Yan Ci just stood there and pulled the red gauze that covered him, but Du Zijin's heart was tumbling when he saw it.

Yan Ci was entangled by the red gauze, and was quite embarrassed for a while.Unconsciously looking at Du Zijin, Du Zijin felt a little shy for the first time, and instinctively tilted his head to cough, not daring to look at Yan Ci.
