Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

"Oh?" Mentioned Ye An.Yan Ci's heart felt soft and even caring.

In the past two months, I have been unable to see other people through all kinds of mistakes. At this moment, I am worried, and I don't want Du Zijin to bring it up.At this moment, Yan Ci's eyes were full of concern.

Du Zijin originally wanted to comfort Yan Ci and didn't want to mention Ye An, but the reaction of his words was so strong.

Du Zijin looked at Yan Ci's expression of concern and love.There was an uncontrollable anger in my heart.

But seeing Yan Ci's appearance, he had no choice but to continue, "Since he entered Shangyang Academy, he has improved a lot. According to the dean of Shangyang Academy, he is a good seedling with both civil and military skills."

When Yan Ci heard this, he almost clapped his hands, and his big eyes shone with joy.

The dead branch in Du Zijin's hand broke with a snap, Yan Ci heard the sound and went to look at the dead branch in Du Zijin's hand.

Du Zijin touched his nose and said, "The weather is cold. If the wood is severely cold, it will become easier to damage."

Hmm, well explained.

Yan Ci didn't pay attention to the sourness in Du Zijin's tone, but Yu Qiao was a bystander.

He couldn't help smiling, and said wisely, "It's still two or three hours before dawn. Your Highness and Lord Yan can rest a little longer. Since I'm awake, I can't sleep. I'm going to the snow mountain tomorrow. I'll go explore the road."

After Yu Qiao finished speaking, she carried half a rabbit skeleton and walked towards the snow mountain with a knife.For a moment, only Yan Ci and Du Zijin were left around the burning fire.

Yan Ci ate the rabbit meat carefully, Du Zijin stared at him for a long time, and then said, "Is Ah Ci cold?"

Yan Ci shook his head and said with a smile, "The fire is burning vigorously. It's not cold..."

Du Zijin took a bite of the rabbit meat in his hand and said, "If you are willing, there is a big event in front of you. I want Ye An to experience it."

Yan Ci was taken aback. Just now Du Zijin said that he was going to replace the person in that position. According to Du Zijin's character, if he was not sure, he would never reveal the matter first.

Since he said that, I'm afraid this matter has been planned for a long time.Yan Ci knows that once this matter is involved.If Du Zijin succeeds, then Ye An will be a hero, if he loses.I'm afraid it is the great crime of punishing the nine clans.

Yan Ci paused and said, "This matter is a matter of life and death. It is also related to his future schedule. I cannot make decisions for him. Your Highness can go to Shangyang Academy to find him."

"If it doesn't work, I will try to keep him. I won't implicate you. Don't worry."

Du Zijin took another branch and gently turned the fire in front of him.When the burnt wood was stirred and knocked together, countless sparks burst out.Du Zijin looked at Yan Ci's face through the flickering fire.

I saw Yan Ci smiled slightly, and said, "If this fails, Your Highness will protect him. Then Yan Ci will naturally stay with His Highness."

Du Zijin froze in his hands, and said, "Aci. What do you mean?"

Yan Ci smiled and said, "Conspiracy is such a thing. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid His Royal Highness will lose his life. At that time, I won't take care of Ye An anymore. I will accompany His Highness down. Left and right are just one life." That's all."

Du Zijin's eyes shone brightly.Said, "Don't worry, Ah Ci. Your life is not as precious as you think."

Yan Ci smiled and said nothing.This kind of thing, who will win the king and lose the bandit, who can say clearly.

The sky is full of stars, and in this cold and dense forest, there is a square bright starry sky.Yan Ci narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky, and said, "Your Highness, do you remember the place where we first met?"

Du Zijin smiled and said, "Remember..."

"On the Lantern Festival that day, the lanterns all over the street were more beautiful than the stars. But the stars on that day were more beautiful than all the stars in Yan Ci's life."

Yan Ci raised his head, like an old man telling a long story, and he didn't know why.

Looking at Yan Ci at this moment, Du Zijin always had a bad feeling.It seems that the vast cosmic starry sky will also bring Yan Ci over there, making him one of the countless bright stars.

Du Zijin followed Yan Ci's gaze and looked up at the dense nebula.Ninety thousand miles away, is there really such an unreachable distance?

Du Zijin lowered his head again to look at the burning fire, and said, "Actually, the first time I saw Ah Ci, it was Fuyun Mountain. Ah Jiu saved you on the boat that day. You stood on the deck , you want to come in to thank me, although Ah Jiu stopped you, but I have already made tea for you. And, that night, I also went to the Wenqu Inn.

During that time, I thought that I approached you everywhere because I wanted to use you.

But now I want to understand.That day when I was on the painting boat, I glanced at you through the heavy gauze curtain.I'm afraid I'm already tempted.It's me, I don't understand my own mind.Caused you to suffer so much. "

Yan Ci had never heard Du Zijin mention this matter before, but now he felt that it was very useful to hear Du Zijin confide his thoughts so casually.

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Yan Ci felt sleepy, so he went back to the dry grass where he was lying on just now, and slept wrapped in a big cloak.Du Zijin watched Yan Ci fall asleep.Just now he sighed softly.Turn around and leave.

Yu Qiao came out from behind the big tree and said, "Your Highness's affairs. We must make plans when the time is ripe. I will escort Lord Yan to the post, and I will hurry back to the capital to help His Highness."

Du Zijin nodded slightly, and said, "You don't have to worry too much, I can rest assured only if you protect him. The reason why I acted like this is that my father is old and faint, and none of the edicts issued today are for the sake of The country is for the people; secondly, I am for the sake of Ah Ci, and I don’t want him to bury his life, so I want him to be a prince and worship minister openly."

Yu Qiao nodded lightly, and suddenly she was puzzled, "Why does Your Highness insist on asking Mr. Yan to go to Languan? Why don't you find a place..."

Du Zijin shook his head lightly, and said, "I've thought about it too. However, although Languan is dangerous, it's not a barrier. It's like this, good fortune and disaster are unpredictable. Although he suffers a little bit, it can protect him from implicated."

Yu Qiao nodded lightly, and said, "Then His Highness just said that Lord Yan's cousin who is capable of writing and martial arts, I heard Ah Jiu said that he is not very old, so His Highness really wants to take it with him."

Du Zijin sighed softly, and said, "I can't do it. If I fail, keep the two of them together. I can't do it. So I will take him with me. If it succeeds, Then Ye An's fame and future are all given by me, if he fails, then I would rather Ah Ci be alone, and I don't want him to be with others."

Yu Qiao shook her head lightly, and said, "Your Highness is so selfish. If you love someone, how can you bear him to be alone?"

Du Zijin smiled meaningfully, "I won't let him be alone, but it can't be that Ye An. He has only been with Ah Ci for two months, and he has already occupied most of his mind. They will be together for the rest of their lives, Ah Ci will definitely forget me."

The two walked farther and farther, Yan Ci slowly opened his eyes, tears slid down the corners of his eyes, why this person has been so exhaustive until now.

Yan Ci raised his hand and gently covered his eyes, consciously feeling bored.Extremely painful.

Yan Ci didn't wake up until it was bright on the second day, but Du Zijin had disappeared, Yan Ci didn't ask, and Yu Qiao didn't say anything.The two carefully wrapped the horse's hooves with rags, and urged the horse to march towards the snow-capped mountains.

It was a sunny day, and the sun shone on the pure white ice and snow, which was extremely dazzling.

Yu Qiao threw a piece of cloth to Yan Ci, and said, "Blindfold, otherwise we will both go blind before we pass this snow-capped mountain."

Yan Ci took the cloth strip and tied it casually.Through a thin layer of cloth, you can see the road ahead, but your eyes will not be pierced by the snow.

Yan Ci and Yu Qiao got off their horses and led the horses forward.Although the snow mountain is full of snow, few people set foot on it, so although it is soft to walk on, it is not too difficult.

After the two of them walked for half a day, they found a raised cliff. Yu Qiao covered the snow-free area under the cliff with a cloak and said, "My lord, please stay here and eat some dry food and drink some water. We'll be on our way again at noon."

Yan Ci knew that many of Yu Qiao's arrangements along the way were very appropriate, so he sat on the cloak without making too many comparisons.

Yu Qiao took out a piece of dried rabbit meat for Yan Ci, and then asked Yan Ci to drink some water, and gulped down the rest of the water herself.I grabbed two handfuls of clean snow and put them in.

It took three full days before the two came out of the snow-capped mountains. When Yu Qiao reined in his horse and stopped outside a dense forest, Yan Ci was too tired to straighten his back.

Yan Ci urged the horse to take two steps forward, and asked, "Brother Yuqiao, do you know how long it will take to reach the station?"

Yu Qiao smiled and said, "You don't need a station, after passing through this dense forest, you can go directly to the state office."

"Oh?" Yan Ci was shocked, "So the state government office is just outside this dense forest?"

Yu Qiao nodded slightly, and said, "But this dense forest has a radius of a hundred miles and is full of miasma. We have to be careful."

Yan Ci rode forward, but was suddenly stopped by Yu Qiao, Yu Qiao threw a red fruit to Yan Ci, and said, "When my lord enters the dense forest later, I hope you can spare a hand and put this fruit on the ground. tip of the nose."

Although Yan Ci was puzzled, he had no objection. The fruit looks good and smells good, and it can probably dissolve the poison of miasma.

Yan Ci accepted it obediently, and then rode forward. Yu Qiao didn't do much to stop her, and followed Yan Ci closely into the dense forest.

Contrary to what Yan Ci thought, although there is poisonous miasma here, this dense forest is like a paradise, very beautiful.

Every tree and vine is much more beautiful than the vegetation in other places.Yan Ci didn't dare to open his mouth to speak, so he had to ask Yu Qiao with his eyes. Yu Qiao was also holding a fruit. Seeing Yan Ci's eyes full of questions, he said, "My lord can talk..."

Yan Ci smiled and said, "I thought I couldn't talk. Does Brother Yuqiao know why the trees and wild flowers here are more beautiful than other places?"
