After three years of reconciliation, the emperor regretted

The imperial city is not close to Qiongshan, Xiao Yunyan didn't set off early, seeing that the sky was getting dark, he could only choose a restaurant and stay overnight.

Although he was the second prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Xiao Yunyan never felt that he was precious. When marching and fighting, he took off his outer robe and laid it on the ground to make do for a night.

The inn I chose had an average accommodation environment, but Xiao Yunyan didn't dislike it in the slightest.

After leaving the imperial city, ordinary people would not recognize the current Prince Xiang at all. Seeing Xiao Yunyan's extraordinary demeanor, he could only be regarded as the son of a wealthy family, so Xiao Yunyan paid the silver smoothly and took the sign to the third floor.

Lying on the stiff bed, but not feeling sleepy at all, the desolate sound of flute and bamboo came from the distance of the inn, each sound more and more grumbling.

Xiao Yunyan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Turned over to get up, wrapped in a robe, bought a jar of Tusu wine from the shopkeeper downstairs, and after returning to the room, Xiao Yunyan jumped out of the window with the wine in hand, turned around, and landed lightly on the roof with his toes.

The fifteenth day of every month is the night of the full moon and the day of reunion.

Xiao Yunyan sat down on the roof and opened the Tusu wine in hand.

The frosty moonlight shone on her body, she didn't feel happy, only cold.

Xiao Yunyan doesn't drink well, so he raised the wine jar and choked on a few mouthfuls, already drunk.

But as if he didn't notice it, he forcefully poured the jar of Tusu down his throat.

After smashing the empty wine jar and smashing it to pieces, Xiao Yunyan bent his right leg and spread out his body on the uneven blue tiles.

The scene in front of him began to become blurred, but the frosty moonlight was still bright and clear. Xiao Yunyan raised his hand to hook it, but he couldn't catch anything. Only the cool air penetrated into his palm, and he shivered from the cold.

Xiao Yunyan suddenly felt very cold.

Chu Jingrong, what are you thinking at this moment?

That person is like the moon hanging in the sky, out of reach, you can look up, you can look forward to, but you can't touch it.

Xiao Yunyan wanted to get closer, but pushed him further and further away.

A dark cloud drifted past, covering the entire moon, Xiao Yunyan raised his hand, and watched the moonlight slowly fade away, disappearing at his fingertips, leaving only a long night that was difficult to see.

Is it true that he and Chu Jingrong will do the same in the end?

If he hadn't forced it, at least that person would still have his eyes on him, but now...

Xiao Yunyan smiled wryly, covered his eyes with his sleeve robe, and curled up into a ball like when he was a child.

He likes Chu Jingrong, but he doesn't know how to express it?Don't know how to please?

Ever since he first fell in love, he could only hold such a person in his eyes, but there was a natural barrier between him and Chu Jingrong, and he was not sure that he could cross it, and no one taught him how to cross it.

During those years when that man was the crown prince, he was taught how to cultivate himself, how to govern his family, how to govern the country and the world, but he was not taught how to express his love.

He is the second prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Prince Xiang who guards his family and defends the country. He has gained a lot, but he has also lost a lot.

Xiao Yunyan knew from a young age that he could not be willful, and if he was willful, the price would be very high.

After growing up so big, he was self-willed once, for the sake of Chu Jingrong.

In the end, it embarrassed the parents, disappointed the elder brother, and made the Great Zhou Kingdom no longer impenetrable.

The sleeve robe was wet, and he was responsible for the disaster he caused himself.

If after two years, Chu Jingrong still can't accept him, he will never marry for life, stay on the battlefield, guard the border from foreign enemies, let his parents rest easy, let his elder brother sit in the hall, let Chu Jingrong... find a lover , There is no doubt about love and affection.

Obviously booked a guest room, but Xiao Yunyan spent the night on the roof. The next day, at dawn, Xiao Yunyan woke up with a severe headache.

He already had a poor capacity for alcohol, and he rarely drank alcohol on weekdays, but he felt depressed and couldn't help himself.

After leaving the room with the shopkeeper, Xiao Yunyan rode on the dark clouds and stepped on the snow, and galloped in the direction of Qiongshan Mountain again, and finally arrived at the foot of Qiongshan Mountain in the evening.

Qiongshan is the steepest mountain range in the Great Zhou Kingdom, with many cliffs and remnants, and a large area of ​​the mountain is designated as an autumn hunting ground by the royal family. Therefore, on weekdays, few ordinary people enter the mountain. The foot of the mountain is extremely desolate. A restaurant nothing.

The mountain road was steep, and it was inconvenient for horses to enter the mountain. Xiao Yunyan stroked Wuyun Treading Snow's mane with one hand, left it where it was, and entered the mountain alone.

Neither falcons nor flower carvings are active at night. After Xiao Yunyan entered the mountain, he found a cave and planned to spend the night first.

After picking up firewood for the fire, he sat on a bluestone, put the extra plain clothes on his body, and put his palms close to the fire source to keep warm.

The nights in the mountains are relatively cold, coupled with the fact that there are few people on Qiongshan Mountain, fierce beasts and poisonous snakes often appear, Xiao Yunyan did not dare to close his eyes, and fiddled with firewood from time to time, so he stayed up all night like this.

Eagles are naturally alert and vigilant. Xiao Yunyan lurked in Qiongshan for three days before finding their traces.

According to the plan, Xiao Yunyan focused on a fledgling that had just learned to spread its wings and soar. Just as he was about to strike, a sharp cry came from the sky, and a swift figure flew across the sky.

It was a rare Costinus! ?

It has black spots on a white background and a pair of pure white jade claws. It has plump wings and a vigorous figure. It is more than two meters behind the wings. It is undoubtedly an adult bird.

According to legend, only one sea dongqing will emerge out of [-] falcons, and it is a veritable god of eagles that is worshiped by people.

Ever since that sea dongqing appeared in his eyes, Xiao Yunyan's eyes could no longer accommodate other eagle eagles. He resolutely retracted his dragon claws, looked for the direction where the sea dongqing disappeared, and flew after it.

The difficulty of catching adult birds is much more difficult than that of chicks. What's more, it is the fastest and highest flying Costin in the world?

Xiao Yunyan stayed in Qiongshan for a whole month, drinking mountain springs like a savage, hunting for a living, fine stubble grew on his chin, whenever he was sleepy, he would squint for a while on the thick tree trunk, and finally He squatted down to the old lair of the sea dongqing, a high and steep cliff.

At a glance, there are all steep rock walls, and there are no green plants or gullies to hide.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Xiao Yunyan took out the dagger he was carrying with him, with a ruthless look in his eyes, he decided to put all his eggs in one basket.

After taking a step back, Xiao Yunyan suddenly charged forward and jumped off the edge of the cliff.

That sea dongqing is combing its feathers in the nest. The nest is the only place where it can relax its vigilance, but no matter how alert it is, it never expects that someone will jump down from the top of the cliff in order to capture it. .

When it sensed that an unusual aura was approaching, it spread its wings and flew into the sky immediately, but even if its speed was so fast that it could disappear in the blink of an eye, it was too late.

Xiao Yunyan threw the flying dragon claws in mid-air to wrap around his legs, and yanked them down hard.

Hai Dongqing screamed, and his body sank suddenly, but Xiao Yunyan seized the opportunity and grabbed the jade claw.

Even Haidongqing, which was nearly two meters behind the spread of its wings, could not bear the weight of a grown man. It tried its best to flap its wings. At the same time, it lowered its head and pecked fiercely at the back of Xiao Yunyan's hand with its sharp beak.

After a few breaths, the back of Xiao Yunyan's hand was already bloody, but he gritted his teeth and did not let go.

Unable to seriously injure this Haidongqing, Xiao Yunyan seized the opportunity, pulled it sharply again, and then slapped it unconscious with a knife.

Without Hai Dongqing waving his wings angrily, Xiao Yunyan's body fell suddenly. Without panic, he leaned over to the cliff, took out the dagger in his arms, and plunged into the cliff with all his strength.

After falling for another distance, the body stopped the falling trend. Xiao Yunyan's arm close to the cliff was scratched and scratched by the sharp rock, and the bright red blood gathered together and flowed down the arm.

Xiao Yunyan didn't care, he gritted his teeth and tried to hang his arm on the dagger, then freed his palm, took out the birdcage from his arms, and put the fainted Hai Dongqing into it.

After doing all this, it was only half the battle. Looking at the abyss like a bottomless pit under his feet, Xiao Yunyan struggled to wrap the thick rope round and round around his arm, and then he pulled out the dagger and fell again.

During the process, the rope on the arm was rubbed thinner and thinner. Sometimes, when encountering an exceptionally sharp stone blade, it would be cut off entirely. At this time, Xiao Yunyan could only stop temporarily and use the remaining rope to Repair the damaged place.

His strength was disappearing bit by bit, but fortunately he was able to see the bottom of the cliff, Xiao Yunyan had to admit that he was reckless, if the cliff was deeper than he expected, he might accidentally fall down after losing his strength gradually .

When his feet landed firmly on the rock at the bottom of the cliff, Xiao Yunyan tore off the hem of his robe, bandaged the wound briefly, and then carried the unconscious Hai Dongqing, and his figure quickly disappeared into the jungle.

Capturing success is only the first step, what is more difficult is how to tame it?Adult birds are difficult to tame, let alone the one-of-a-kind Haidongqing who is proud and arrogant.

Xiao Yunyan came to the foot of the mountain, saw Wu Yun Taxue who had been waiting there, put one hand in his mouth, and blew a loud whistle, Wu Yun Taxue suddenly raised his head, and ran towards Xiao Yunyan.

As he approached, Xiao Yunyan held the rein with one hand, and flew onto the horse's back. This time he didn't take a rest, and rode all the way back to Prince Xiang's mansion.

He ordered his servants to find a craftsman to make a pair of golden anklets and chains, fasten the anklets to Haidongqing's jade claws, and fix the other end to the crossbar.

In the past few days, the fierce-tempered Haidongqing was always trying to break free, and kept pecking at the ankle ring with its beak, making its jade claws bloody.

Xiao Yunyan wanted to bandage its wound, but was almost attacked. In desperation, he had no choice but to put a leather cover on its beak, and only took it off when feeding food.

During these days, Xiao Yunyan never left the study no matter what he did. While he was recovering from his injuries, he met Hai Dongqing to let him adapt to his existence.

Gradually, Hai Dongqing went from being vigilant to ignoring Xiao Yunyan's approach, to being able to accept Xiao Yunyan's touch and caress.

Xiao Yunyan knew that the first stage of eagle training was completed, and the next step was to boil the eagle to make it forget about the things on the mountain, forget about the high-altitude wind, and wear away its wildness.

Xiao Yunyan named it "Changfeng". As for why it is called Changfeng, he believed that Chu Jingrong would understand.

Put Changfeng on the scaffolding, guard it day and night, and not let it fall asleep. When Xiao Yunyan couldn't hold on, he would let a reliable servant take his place for a while, until late one night, Changfeng fell off the scaffolding by himself. down.

The next thing is to call the eagle, buckle the lock on Changfeng's ankle, connect it with a long rope, and then let it fly. Xiao Yunyan whistles every time, and then pulls it down from midair. One day, no longer bound by ropes, as long as Xiao Yunyan whistles, he will still dive down from midair and land on Xiao Yunyan's shoulder.

Taming falcons is a job that tests patience. Xiao Yunyan has to love and understand it, so that Changfeng can gradually listen to him.

Otherwise, with Hai Dongqing's ferocious nature, after being provoked, he would either peck someone or hit him to death, and all efforts would be in vain.

It took two months for Chang Feng to finally become docile, but it was only for Xiao Yunyan. Once an outsider approached, he would spread his wings and fly high into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
