Chapter 40 The Eve of Departure

"Standing in a dangerous building, the wind is soft, looking at the sorrow of the spring, and the sky is gloomy. In the afterglow of the grass and smoke, who will be speechless..."

The young man's clear and moist voice flowed out slowly accompanied by the sound of the piano, the cool moonlight spilled all over the ground, fell on the young man's plain white robe, and drew a thin shadow on the wall. It seems to be falling apart, but the singing is still so stable.

Xiaobie held the wine glass and just looked at the moonlight for a long time without taking a sip.

The young man secretly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Farewell, only to feel that the corners of this man's eyes and brows are full of charm, which makes people blush and heartbeat.

Xiaobie turned his head slightly, and met the young man's eyes. The young man panicked, and his fingertips slipped out, releasing a string of messy notes.

"My lord, forgive me." The young man quickly got up and knelt down on the ground, feeling annoyed and panicked.

If I can take good care of Mr. Xiaobie tonight, I will have a bright future in the future, maybe I will be able to leave the Qinfeng Pavilion and leave the fireworks field from now on!

This was a chance he had finally won. The young man bit his lip, raised his face, and tried his best to show his weakest and most attractive side.

Xiaobie just glanced at it, chuckled lightly, and turned his head away.

"Young Master..." The young man only felt ashamed, his cheeks flushed, and he spoke in a trembling voice.

Xiaobie drank the wine in the glass in front of the moonlight, ""The belt is getting wider and I will not regret it, and I will make people haggard because of Yixiao." Right? "

"That's right." Xiaobie was reading the song of "Butterfly Love Flower", the young man's voice was clear, and he was about to sing a few lines while holding his breath, but Xiaobie suddenly said: "No, that's wrong."

The boy was startled, but Xiaobie lowered his head and poured himself a glass of wine: "Go down..."

The moonlight fell on Xiaobie's silver-gray robe, like the surface of a sparkling lake, rippling and sparkling.

The young man lowered his head, not daring to look any more, and stepped back silently, reminiscing about the scene he had just seen in his heart.

"Second……"

"Young master." Hearing Xiaobie's call, a figure stepped out of the darkness, hiding from the moonlight and melting into the darkness, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

"Is there any news from Beijing?"

"No."

It was my decision to come to Chuzhou, but after so long, the man didn't even look for him, as if he didn't care at all.

Xiaobie lowered his eyes, drank the wine in the glass, felt unhappy again, picked up the flagon and poured the wine into his stomach in big gulps—but his stomach was full, but his heart was still empty.

"Wine is good wine, send a pot to King Ren as a practice."

"Yes……"

The courtyard has a rare and lively atmosphere.

"My lord, Mr. Xiaobie sent a jar of practice wine." Eunuch Quan came to report with a jar of wine.

"Put it away." Chen Ke didn't care much, so Eunuch Quan stepped back quietly, not disturbing Wusuli's storytelling.

Tomorrow we will set off to the west, and tonight we will have a lively practice banquet.Although it is "practice", I don't worry about leaving Yangguan in the west without old friends. On the contrary, I have the joyful pride of holding a sword to the end of the world.

Interested, Tianwen pestered Wusuli to tell a story, Wusuli thought for a while, and said, "How about telling a story about a fox spirit?"

"Not good, not good..." Tian Wen shook his head, "Master said, among all the ghost stories, the story of the fox is not to be heard."

"Both male and female foxes can't listen?" Wusuli smiled narrowly, and Xu Qingfeng coughed twice to signal Wusuli not to tease him.Wusuli laughed loudly: "Mr. Xu, our Tianwen little master is also at the age to understand."

Xu Qingfeng was embarrassed, but Tian Wen didn't care: "Let's change the story, I don't like to hear about ghosts and ghosts, "Journey to the West" is dazzling enough, and I don't want to hear about the loyalty and courage, "Water Margin" is also in my opinion. Just live."

This point of view is open and bold, Wusuli widened his eyes, "What about "Three Kingdoms"?"

"The world that can be described in a book is not the world of today."

"Then... talk about some dramas? You haven't heard of these, have you?"

"Crying, don't listen."

Wusuli was not impatient either, and looked at the sky with great interest and asked, "Then what do you want to hear?"

"Hmm..." Tian Wen held his chin and thought for a while, but still couldn't think of it.

"Okay, let's eat." Xu Qingfeng smiled, beckoned everyone to move their chopsticks, and put another piece of golden tofu into the Tianwen bowl: "When there is plenty of time on the road, we will let Wusuli eat it wherever we go. Where are you talking about?"

"That's good." Tian Wen bit the tip of his chopsticks, narrowed his eyes and smiled, revealing the dimples on his cheeks.

When the moon was in the sky, the practice banquet was over.Everyone went back to their rooms to rest well, and they had to leave early tomorrow morning, so they had to recharge their spirits.

After Xu Qingfeng washed, he returned to Xinju's back room. Chen Ke had finished washing and was half-leaning on the imperial concubine's couch to read a book.Seeing Xu Qingfeng, Chen Ke motioned him to come over.

Xu Qingfeng just sat down next to Chen Ke, and Chen Ke put his arms around his waist and took him into his arms.

Xu Qingfeng leaned obediently in Chen Ke's arms and read a book together. Chen Ke washed his hair tonight, and his hair was loose and not tied up. Xu Qingfeng could smell a faint fragrance.

Resting his chin on the top of Xu Qingfeng's head, Chen Ke put down the book, and the two embraced each other.

"Do you know that there is a Chamber of Commerce in Zhuozhou called "Blue and White Merchant Capital"? "

Xu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know, why?"

"There is a Chamber of Commerce in Zhuozhou called "Blue and White Merchants Capital". It does a wide range of businesses and covers various fields, but what ordinary people don't know is that this chamber of commerce holds a "seasonal auction" every three months. Anything you want is available. The things are more complete than the black market, and the prices are higher than the black market, and the auctioned things are also very rare. "

"What kind of strange method?"

"There are martial arts secrets and panacea, which are tangible, and there are intangible things like selling smells and stories."

"Do you want to go and see?"

"We will definitely pass through Zhuozhou on this trip, and it will be just in time for the "seasonal auction" in May.Might as well go. "Chen Ke said.

"Maybe there will be golden bell flowers." Xu Qingfeng raised his head to look at him, his eyes met Chen Ke's chin, and he saw the sharp edges and corners of his face.

"Don't worry." Knowing in his heart that there is still nearly a year before the poisoning occurs, Chen Ke is not in a hurry, and can distract Xu Qingfeng to comfort him.

Seeing the loose strands of hair falling on Chen Ke's chest, Xu Qingfeng reached out and brushed them behind him.

Perhaps the touch of the fingertips was too gentle, Chen Ke had a thought, grabbed Xu Qingfeng's hand, looked down at him, watched Xu Qingfeng's ears turn red little by little, and smiled slightly.

Stretching out his hand to support Xu Qingfeng to sit up, Chen Ke hugged the person vigorously and stood up, so frightened that Xu Qingfeng hugged Chen Ke tightly.

Xu Qingfeng patted Chen Ke anxiously.

Chen Ke said lightly, and carried him to the bed.

Hearing the movement in the inner room, Eunuch Quan extinguished the candles outside, quietly retreated, and walked out of Guixin Residence, just in time to meet Zuo Ming who was patrolling.

"Grandfather Quan..." Zuo Ming saluted and said hello, "Your Highness and Young Master Xu have rested?"

"Yeah, let's take a break." Grandpa Quan pouted and pointed to the front of the path: "I just saw Guard Guan passing by."

"Oh." Zuo Ming walked forward for a while, and he saw Guan Hongfeng standing under the moonlight.

"Why are you standing here?"

"Waiting for you." Guan Hongfeng said with a smile.

giggle.Zuo Ming said silently in his heart, and asked him again: "What are you waiting for me?"

"It's a rare moonlight, I want to take a walk with you."

Zuo Ming thought it was funny, and raised the corner of his mouth, "Guan Shiwei is in such a good mood?"

"Yes." Making a gesture of invitation, Guan Hongfeng stood to the left of Zuo Ming, and the two walked forward together. "A rare moonlight, isn't it?"

Zuo Ming looked up at the sky, and it was indeed a rare moonlight—the sky was cloudless, and the clear moon was accompanied by bright stars. The moonlight was bright, and the surroundings were clearly visible. Although it was not a full moon, it made people like it.

"The last string is not as good as the first string."

Guan Hongfeng didn't care about "Dian Crimson Lips", he just said: "The best thing is in front of you."

Different people always have different feelings when they see the same new moon.

"Wuyan went up to the west building alone, the moon was like a hook, and the lonely sycamore tree was locked in the deep courtyard in autumn. The cutting is constant, and the reason is still chaotic. It is the sorrow of parting, and there is a special feeling in my heart."

Among the poems written on the moon, Chen Mao only loves this song "Meeting and Joy", and there is always a touch of melancholy when reading it.

But Zhou Zhou didn't like it. He hugged Chen Mao from behind and held him tightly in his arms. Zhou Zhou whispered: "This word is not good."

"Why not?"

"It's so sad." Zhou Zhou buried his face on Chen Mao's neck, his breath made Chen Mao tremble, but Zhou Zhou clasped his waist to prevent him from hiding: "What are you worried about?"

Chen Mao was ashamed and went to grab Zhou Zhou's hand. Zhou Zhou coaxed him softly: "Are you angry with me?"

"Oh." Chen Mao's face sank like water, his voice was cold: "No..."

"I didn't mean it." Zhou Zhou apologized.

The last time he entered the Tianqi Building, this time he really stayed there for a while, but he didn't expect to find out that he had been in there for two days after he came out.Hurrying back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Chen Mao was greeted by an angry Chen Mao.

Clenching Zhou Zhou's hand, Chen Mao was a little sullen, "What's in the Tianqi Building?"

"I can't tell you yet."

"Then when can you tell me?"

After waiting for a while, Zhou Zhou still didn't answer. Chen Mao closed his eyes, as if he had lost his patience, and felt that the moon was as cold as water.

"You lied to me too much. Everyone knows that the teacher of the country is like a god, but he knows the past and the consequences. He regards the Qilou that day as a god's site, and it is full of secrets. What is a secret?"

Zhou Zhou avoided answering, hugged the people and walked into the hall, "It's too cold outside, let's go in."

"Zhou Zhou." Chen Mao stopped where he was, and did not leave, "You have been a national teacher for five years, and this country is stable because of your hard work. You are proficient in astronomy and geography, and you are like a god in predicting things. Everyone regards you as a god, but In my opinion, you are Zhou Zhou.

I don't care about the things in the Tianqi Building anymore, but if one day, you enter the building and come out, for a period of five days, I will set fire to the Tianqi Building. "

Zhou Zhou frowned, "It's none of that building's business."

Chen Mao didn't speak.

Zhou Zhou took Chen Mao's hand, knowing that Chen Mao was worried that he would enter the building and would not come out again, so he coaxed him in a low voice: "I will not leave you, don't think about it."

Chen Mao withdrew his hand little by little, turned around and walked deep into the palace, "It is difficult to win the country, but it is even more difficult to defend the country. The same is true for people's hearts. You asked me if I only love the country, and now I also ask you a question."

Chen Mao turned around and saw Zhou Zhou who was a few steps away was still standing under the moonlight, dressed in white, as if he was about to fly away.

"If one day the world discovers the taboo between you and me, if I confront each other with swords, will you blame me?"

Zhou Zhou's face was straight, and he was also unhappy.Chen Mao stood in the dark, he couldn't see Chen Mao's expression clearly, such a sense of distance made Zhou Zhou irritable, and was about to approach, when Eunuch Ren suddenly came to report:

"Report to the National Teacher, Tianqi Tower has an invitation."

For a while, Zhou Zhou paused in place, feeling more and more irritable.

"Heh." Chen Mao chuckled, turned around and walked into the hall, "Master Guoshi, go quickly. ——Don't forget, the period is five days."
