It is enough to exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil, and it can temporarily suppress the dead energy in Sun Shi's body—"

When Ruan Wenren heard this, he stood up abruptly and interrupted the little novice monk. "What happened to that surnamed Sun?"

He hastened to the little novice monk, and grasped the little novice monk's arm nervously, the folding fan had already been discarded on the ground.

The little novice was stunned, and a very obvious surprise flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that the other party was silent, the second young master of the Ruan family suddenly became anxious, and shook the little novice's arm vigorously, "What's wrong with him!?"

The voice was like a roar, lacking the flirtatiousness of a dandy, and adding a lot of worry.

The little novice who was taken aback immediately said, "The abbot said that benefactor Sun's evil energy entered his body, and now he is unconscious and his energy is declining. But the abbot has no way to expel it for the time being, and the evil energy is getting stronger and stronger in benefactor sun's body. If Donor Sun is left alone, there will be no way to recover. That's why the little monk came here to borrow the donor's safety lock."

As soon as he let go of the little monk's hand, the very impatient person suddenly lost his temper, but he seemed to be muttering to himself: "Why did something happen to this person surnamed Sun..."

The little novice continued: "The people in the Sun House said that Prime Minister Ruan gave the order to die while he was still alive, and the Ruan House would not accept people from the Sun House. So the abbot sent a young monk to come, and the abbot knew about the relationship between Benefactor Ruan and Benefactor Sun. There are grievances and grievances, but saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and please donate generously to the abbot and the Ruan family in terms of the relationship between the abbot and the Ruan family."

Before the words were finished, the second young master of the Ruan family had already taken off the safe golden lock that he had been carrying since childhood, and handed it to Ah Xian. "You go and prepare two horses, and send them over quickly with the little master."

Immediately, the young man seemed a little embarrassed, "I just... just don't want to lose such an interesting enemy."

The little novice's expression was even more surprised. ——The second young master of the Ruan family and the youngest son of the Sun family have been arguing and fighting for six years, and now they are obviously worried, and apart from anything else, they have taken off the safety lock that has never left since childhood. Shocking thing.

Ah Yin was not surprised at all.

He grabbed the little novice's arm, "Little master, let's go quickly."

Then he pulled the little monk out of the study and went straight to the stable.

(six)

Although Yun'an Temple is located in the west of the outskirts of the capital, it takes an hour to travel from Ruan Mansion to Yun'an Temple even by riding a horse.

When Ah Xian arrived at Yun'an Temple, the sky was already a little dark, the clouds were thickly piled up on the sky, and it rained mercilessly.

The horse's hooves were already covered with mud, and the bodies of Ah Xian and the little novice were already soaked.

Master Jingyu had already stood at the gate of the temple and waited. The Yun'an Temple under the heavy rain revealed a trace of tranquility. The rainwater gathered and slid down from the tiles to form a rain curtain. The abbot of the Guosi stood at the gate. Slightly fuzzy.

Ah Xian and the little novice got off their horses, Master Jingyu still had an expressionless expression on his face, and said to them, "Come in."

After handing over the safety lock to Master Jingyu, Ah Xian and the little novice went into the meditation room of the temple to change clothes.When he came out, the little novice was already standing at the door of the meditation room waiting.

He followed the little novice to the meditation room where Sun Ce was.

At this moment, the high-spirited young Sun Ce was lying on the bed without a sound. A Xian looked at the sleeping Sun Ce, and felt that this person was no different from usual except for his eyes tightly closed.

And the safety lock of my young master was lying quietly on the neck of the eldest son of the Sun family.

"Thank you, benefactor, for the special gift. Benefactor Sun's situation has temporarily stabilized." Master Jingyu bowed to A Xian, "The safety lock is already on Benefactor Sun, please tell benefactor Ruan Xiao."

Ah Xian naturally understood that the purpose of Master Jingyu bringing him here was to prove that the safety lock was indeed used on Sun Ce, so he was not polite, and returned a salute to Master Jingyu, and then said: "Axian will, Master, don't worry. "

"The poor monk can use the horse-drawn carriage in the temple to send the donor back, and the poor monk will also send someone to bring the horse back to the Ruan Mansion."

"Master, don't—"

The door of the meditation room that had just been closed opened suddenly.

A Xian subconsciously turned his head to follow the voice, his eyes widened immediately.

The second young master of the Ruan family, who had always been unrestrained and unrestrained, was soaked all over his body at this time, his ink hair was completely soaked by the rain, and the hair on his forehead was attached to his forehead, and the rainwater continuously and quickly slid down his cheeks. The soaked and darkened blue clothes were tightly attached to the young man's body, the outermost white gauze was already filled with mud, and even the delicate face had a little mud.

—Obviously drenched in the rain along the way.The Ruan Wen people's riding skills are not good, and they can arrive at this moment, they must have gone out not long after they set off.

And obviously fell off the horse.

Ah Xian has never seen his young master in such a mess.

Holding the door with his left hand, panting slightly bent over, he glanced at the room.

Immediately, he rushed into the room and ran to Sun Ce's bed.

A drop of water dripped from outside the room to Sun Ce's bed.

He glanced at Sun Ce on the bed with his eyes closed, turned his head, and asked Master Jingyu with an obviously anxious expression, "Master, what happened to Sun Ce? Why did I see him... he was surrounded by black air? "

"Master, did you see the black air? I didn't see anything." Ah Xian looked at the lying Sun Ce again.It was still the same as usual except that the eyes were closed.

Master Jingyu was not surprised, with a calm expression, "Amituofu, after the birth of the little benefactor Ruan, the old prime minister specially brought the benefactor to the poor monk to have a look at it, just because he saw that the benefactor had a weak life since he was a child. , The poor monk just gave the safety lock to little benefactor Ruan to avoid evil. Although benefactor Sun has far more dead energy than little benefactor Ruan, it is the same existence. Even if little benefactor Ruan has never practiced, it is normal to be able to see it. Benefactor Sun is afraid that he has been haunted by death since he was a child, but for some reason, his death has suddenly increased today. As for Benefactor Sun's current situation..."

The highly respected eminent monk shook his head and continued: "The situation has been temporarily stabilized now. But it won't be stable for long—"

"What will happen if you can't stabilize?" The second young master of the Ruan family has completely forgotten the etiquette at this moment, and directly interrupted Master Jingyu's words.

Jingyu obviously didn't care about Ruan Wenren's rudeness, "The more dead, the weaker the anger, hey..."

"Is there nothing Master can do?" the anxious person who came here in person asked anxiously.

"The poor monk has scriptures that can suppress such evil spirits. It takes people who are very concerned about the evil spirits to keep copying to suppress such evil spirits. But Mrs. Sun has already gone first, and General Sun is thousands of miles away at the moment. It is bound to be too late to go back and forth, and other people in the Sun Mansion...including the Second Young Master Sun have already tried it, but it didn't work."

"Then... what about Miss Qiao Weiqiao?"

"Miss Qiao tried it yesterday, but it didn't work." The little novice replied.

Hearing that, unexpectedly, the second young master of the Ruan family didn't continue to ask questions, and didn't do anything. He just stood there and looked straight at the unconscious Sun Ce.

The rain was still dripping from his body, and the place where he stood was already water-stained.

His eyes flickered constantly, and his face was full of worry.

Jingyu's voice and Gujing Wubo's voice came again: "It's really hard to be satisfied with the very mind. If it's not a close relative or a loved one, you can't achieve the real very mind."

He was still looking straight at Sun Ce who was lying on the bed.

Then, the boy's steady voice sounded in the meditation room: "Let me try."

He stood there with his head down, looking at Sun Ce who had been arguing with him for six full years, with a serious expression.

At that moment, the book boy was completely lost.Ah Xian looked at the soaked young man in front of him, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something different about his young master at this moment.

It wasn't the second young master of the Ruan family, the little devil king who was famous all over the capital.

It was Ruan Wenren, a sensible young man who was born in a scholarly family.

(Seven)

Ruan Wenren quickly changed into dry clothes, not even bothering that the clothes were worn by ordinary servants, and rushed directly to the meditation room where Sun Ce was.

Jingyu has already prepared the book case, on which there are banknotes and a seemingly very old scripture.

Ah Xian hurried over to grind the ink.He watched as his young master quickly sat in front of the desk, opened the first page of the scriptures, and picked up a pen in his hand.

The second youngest of the Ruan family hasn't really written a pen for four years.

If it was usual, once the second young master of the Ruan family was mentioned, he would have to write. — Certainly not a good thing.

But now, the young man who hadn't picked up a pen for four years raised his head and looked at Sun Ce in front of him. Then with a serious expression, he dipped the pen into the ink seriously and wrote the first word slowly.

I am crooked and disorganized.

But the boy still wrote seriously, stroke by stroke.

The second word, the third word, the fourth word...

Ah Xianwu recalled four years ago, the day after Young Master Sun climbed over the wall, the young man pushed the door open and walked out freely.He went to the study room and easily swept the Four Treasures of the Study neatly arranged on the desk to the ground.

——So what if you learn these things, it’s really useless.From now on, Master Ben will never touch these troublesome things again.

The fifth word, the sixth word, the seventh word... the word.

Sweat was already covering the young man's forehead, and the hair that was not completely dry on the forehead was soaked again.

The hundredth word, the hundred and first word...

"Amitabha, congratulations to the benefactor. The poor monk can already feel the faint reduction of the death energy in the benefactor Sun's body." Jingyu finally said. "As long as little benefactor Ruan keeps copying it like this, the moment benefactor Sun wakes up, his merits and virtues will be consummated."

The sweaty young man suddenly raised his head and looked at the standing monk with unconcealable joy in his eyes, "Really? Thank you, Master!"

Immediately there was no other move, he hurriedly lowered his head, and continued to write.

Jingyu didn't speak, but left the meditation room silently and closed the door of the meditation room.

The sound of the rain outside the door still came in through the door, and occasionally there was the rustling sound of the wind, but the young man was not distracted in the slightest, and he still couldn't seriously write down every single word.

Ah Xian just looked at his young master, wondering if he helped flip through the scriptures.

The part that has already been copied is neatly placed in a corner of the book case, and the self on the paper is crooked and disorganized, more like the work of a child who is just learning calligraphy, and only the specific characters can be seen.

The heavy rain outside the window gradually stopped, and the night gradually fell.When Ah Yin brought clothes and other items from Nguyen Mansion to the temple, the novice placed food on another table in the meditation room, and candles were lit on the desk, and the young man was still seriously copying under the candlelight.

Ah Xian put down the burden in his hands, and walked forward, "Master, let's eat."

The man with his head down nodded, and the movements in his hands continued.His writing speed is already much faster than when he started, and his handwriting is actually a little more neat.

He didn't put down the pen in his hand until the white paper was covered with black characters, and walked to the table where the food was placed.

"Mother, did you tell me?"

"It is said that you will stay in the temple for a few days and listen to Master Jingyu's preaching."

"En." Ruan Wenren quickly ate on his stomach without saying anything.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ruan Wenren put down the bowl and chopsticks, sat back at the desk, and picked up the pen again.

Seeing this, the book boy who had been with the Ruan family's second son for six years opened his mouth, as if he wanted to persuade him to say something.But after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't persuade him. He looked at his young master who continued to copy, and sighed silently.

The temple was extremely quiet in the middle of the night, only the sound of wooden fish in the main hall continued.

The candlelight in the meditation room was not extinguished until the bell rang at noon.

The sky is gradually turning white, and a new day is gradually approaching.The door of the meditation room where Sun Ce was still closed, the book boy stood beside the bed staring at the unconscious man, and the young man sat beside the desk and wrote non-stop.

Until the setting sun hangs on the high mountains in the distance, until the night falls, as long as the moonlight shines on the ground of the temple.

The bell of Sishi rang a quarter of an hour ago.

Ah Xian, who was instructed to keep an eye on Sun Ce's situation, lowered his head fiercely, and then quickly raised it up.He rubbed his eyes and yawned sleepily.

The boy in blue and white was still carefully copying scriptures.

Ah Xian glanced at Sun Ce on the bed.

"...Master...Master! Master!"

The boy didn't even raise his head, "Ah Xian, don't make noise."

"It's not... Sun..."

"What's wrong with Sun Ce?" The young man stood up abruptly and casually dropped the pen in his hand on the ground.He quickly walked over and walked to Sun Ce's bedside.

Joy suddenly filled his eyes.

The eldest son of the Sun family, who had been in a coma for a long time, gradually opened his eyes. He looked around and the two people standing in front of the bed suspiciously, slowly propped up his body, and half leaned on the bed.

"how do I--"

"The black energy on your body has become less. How do you feel, Sun Ce!? Is there anything wrong?" asked happily.

Sun Ce stared blankly at Ruan Wenren who was shaking him.

Seeing this, Ah Xian couldn't bear to remind his young master of his gaffe.

No response was received, Ruan Wenren continued to shake Sun Ce's body, "How do you feel? Is there something wrong? Ah Xian—you go and call Master Jingyu!"

The book boy was about to turn around when he heard the words, when Ruan Wenren moved closer to the bed, "Hey, the surname is Sun."

The eldest son of the Sun family stared at Ruan Wenren, let his face stick to him, and sat upright slightly, without saying a word, not knowing what emotion was in his eyes.

"My surname is Sun, you should say something——huh?"

Before Ruan Wenren could react, an irresistible warmth came from his cold neck.A quarter of an hour ahead, the man who was still quietly lying on the bed with his eyes closed wrapped his arms around his neck, his handsome face was within easy reach.

The next moment, the soft touch of the lips attached.He opened his eyes wide, but now he could only see Sun Ce's slightly closed eyes.

Sun Ce's eyelashes trembled slightly, clearly meeting the eyes of the person in front of him, but his black eyes were full of erratic intoxication.

At this moment, Ruan Wenren couldn't say a word.

After a while.

"Surname! Sun! Are you out of your mind!"

The flushed boy suddenly pushed away the Sun family's eldest son who was flooded.

Ah Xian was finally brought back to his senses by his young master, and hurried to the door, and opened the door.

The hurried Shutong stumbled over the door of the meditation room and fell to the ground. He got up quickly and ran towards Master Jingyu's meditation room before he even had time to close the door.

As for what happened in the meditation room behind him.

—— Ah Xian thinks it's better to hide.

(Eight)

"Eh, that's it?" Xiao Qing'er was full of disbelief.

Ah Xian held a spray bottle filled with water in his hand, and his face was full of helplessness, "I really only know this, auntie, please let me go!"

"I don't believe it." The young girl stood in front of A Xian, blocking his way, "If it's really like what you said, Young Master Sun woke up and thanked our young master and gave gifts to Ruan Mansion. It’s all right, so why is it spread throughout the capital that when the monks in the temple went to clean the room the next day, there was nothing left except the bed?”

"How did I know that I wasn't there at the time? And it seemed that after thanking you, they continued to quarrel and fight. Xiao Qing'er, I'm going to clean the study for the young master, don't stop me."

"Let's just believe you." The girl in front of her still had a suspicious expression, but she still got out of the way.

After finally escaping the questioning, Ah Xian hurriedly took the basin and walked to Ruan Wenren's study.

There was nothing wrong with what he said. ——My young master did copy the scriptures for two days to save the eldest son of the Sun family, and indeed he and the eldest son of the Sun family made a mess of the meditation room, and the young master of the Sun family indeed thanked him and gave gifts, these The things that spread all over the capital within a few days are indeed not wrong with each one.

It's just omitting the scene after Young Master Sun woke up and before the chickens and dogs jumped in the meditation room.

But the eldest son of the Sun family helped his young master once four years ago, and his young master rescued the young master of the Sun family once a few days ago. It is clearly a friendship between both parties who saved lives, but nothing has changed today.

Before reaching the study room, the second young master of the Ruan family roared angrily.

"...You surnamed Sun, you kill a thousand swords!"

Well, there is still a little change.At least you surnamed Sun, you bastard, have become you surnamed Sun, you who kill thousands of knives.

Ah Xian paused, thinking about the possibility of the young master fighting unilaterally at the scene, and felt that it was not that serious, so he walked into the study with the basin just now.

Well, it's not bad, only two porcelain bottles were dropped.

His young master was still holding a cheap porcelain vase specially bought by Ah Xian, and he was wearing a safe gold lock around his neck. He stood in the center of the study and said to Sun Ce who was sitting on the window: "You murderer! It's best not to appear in front of this young master again, or this rare one will hit you once!"

Ah Xian squatted on the ground and cleaned the broken tiles, thinking that you would not be able to hit the young master even if you smashed them.

Sun Ce sat leisurely on the window, still dressed in white as the eldest son of the Sun family, totally different from someone who just walked through the gate of hell. "Don't worry, I'm here today to explain to you that I won't come tomorrow."

Ruan Wenren was stunned, blinked, and looked at Sun Ce suspiciously.

"I have to prepare for the civil and military imperial examinations in half a month." The tone was very serious.

As soon as the words fell, the porcelain bottle flew from the hands of the young man in blue.

Sun Ce easily took the flying porcelain bottle, and handed it to A Xian who was cleaning at his feet.Axian took the porcelain bottle and placed it firmly in the place closest to Ruan Wenren, so that his young master can use it again.

"Hey, Young Master Sun, is this an inspirational candidate who won the number one scholar and married a beautiful wife?"

Ah Xian continued to go under the window to clean the pieces of the porcelain vase, listening to his young master's voice. ——Why is it a little sour?

"Beautiful wife?" The young man in white who was sitting on the window was obviously taken aback.

"Isn't Miss Qiao a beautiful wife?" The standing young man in blue had his hands on his waist, his cheeks were already a little puffed up.

Hearing this, Sun Ce just reacted.

A few days ago, Miss Qiao's family threw a handkerchief at his feet, and just stopped. When he woke up, Miss Qiao's family said that she would only marry the number one scholar in her life.

The eldest lady of the Qiao family is famous far and wide. She is not only a well-known talented woman among the children of the family, but also a typical beauty in the eyes of the people in the capital.

The problem is that this high-sighted beauty threw her handkerchief to Sun Ce, who is already the champion of martial arts.

Then this request is obviously aimed at Young Master Sun.

Knowing the reason why the person in front of him threw the porcelain bottle this time, Young Master Sun smiled and explained unhurriedly: "I don't care who Miss Qiao's ambition is, Sun Ce is not interested in women."

Now the second young master of the Ruan family was completely stunned.

He even forgot to take the porcelain bottle on the table next to him.

Sun Ce flew up from the window, jumped directly over Ah Xian who was cleaning the study, and jumped in front of Ruan Wenren, whose face was gradually turning red.

"What are you thinking?" He stretched out his finger and poked his red face, "What a man wants is to make contributions and conquer the world. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my father always taught me that to make achievements, even if it is a horse leather shroud, you must carry a gun. Going into battle, this is the soul of our Sun family, and it is also my soul."

Sun Ce's earnest words reached Ruan Wenren's ears word by word. For the first time, he didn't care about that person's casual and frivolous behavior.

"Ah bah, why don't you wrap your body in horse leather? It's not certain whether you will be the champion of martial arts!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce also looked at Ruan Wenren and stayed there.

Four eyes facing each other.

The next moment, the eldest son of the Sun family said, "You actually understand the meaning of the shrouded body in horse leather?"

The tone was full of surprise.

The second young master of the Ruan family changed his complexion instantly, and his flushed face instantly became extremely red. ——Naturally he was angry.

He immediately picked up the porcelain bottle beside him and was about to throw it at Sun Ce's head.

Sun Ce did take a step back abruptly, "I'll come to see you first in half a month!" Then he jumped out of the window.

The porcelain bottle that had already flown out was one step too late, and missed the target, hitting the window sill.

Ah Yin sighed silently, and walked to the window helplessly to clean the broken tiles.

He was cleaning, and occasionally raised his head to secretly glance at Ruan Van who was burning alone.A thought suddenly flashed into his mind.

Perhaps it would be a good choice to continue like this, day after day, year after year.

(nine)

The second young master of the Ruan family hasn't gone out to fool around for half a month.

Only Ah Xian knew that his young master practiced calligraphy and read books in the study for the first time in the past half month.

The reason is also very simple, although this reason is too unbelievable for the young master of the Ruan family.

"Young Master, I must show that Sun Ce the number one scholar in three years' time." On the day Sun Ce left half a month ago, Ruan Wenren picked up his pen and muttered something.

On the 15th day when Sun Ce did not climb over the wall to come to Ruan's house, Ruan Wenren put away the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books he had been studying for half a month, obviously unwilling to let the eldest son of the Sun family see his determination.

Ah Yin took the initiative to define this move as a surprise three years later.

"Master, the martial arts test should be over by now." A Xian looked at the sun outside the window, and said to Ruan Wenren who was drinking tea at the desk.

The military test is not like the literary test. Thousands of candidates need to gather together to write articles and submit them together. After a certain period of time, the articles will be reviewed to select a certain candidate, and then the palace test will be held.The martial arts test only needs to be fought on the ring of the day, and the martial artist who stands at the end will naturally be the champion of martial arts every three years.

Ruan Wenren took a sip of tea, waved the folding fan with the other hand, and said in a nonchalant tone: "If the martial arts test is not over, what's the matter with Guan Ben?"

"It's none of your business, it's my business."

The voice came from the door, and the man was leaning against the door like in the past, with his hands folded around his chest, and he looked like a handsome and suave talent.

Ruan Wenren looked up and down at Sun Ce, who was already a little dirty in his white clothes, and then said, "It's so embarrassing to be beaten, no—"

"Of course it is number one." The man interrupted him, full of arrogance.

It was rare for the second young master of the Ruan family not to say sour words, "You are amazing."

Seeing this, Ah Xian naturally would not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime good atmosphere, "Master Sun, come in and have a drink of tea together."

Sun Ce took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, sat directly beside Ruan Wenren, snatched the teacup from the young man's hand, and drank it down.

"You..." Since the second young master of the Ruan family let someone into the study, he naturally didn't care about this person's frivolous behavior.

"After half a year, lead the troops to the border." The man just uttered a sentence lightly.

"...will you come back?"

Hearing this, Sun Ce smiled at the person who was no longer awkward at the moment, "I can come back with military achievements after going there for four or five years. But after returning, I still have to lead troops out to fight frequently."

Four or five years.

Ah Xian thought and calculated the time.My young master is eighteen today, four or five years later he will be 23 or 25 years old, and the young master of the Sun family will be [-] or [-] years old.

Not too young, but life is still long.

There is still time to continue living like this.

Ruan Wenren seemed to be thinking about this too, and finally grinned.He looked at Sun Ce, blinking, his long eyelashes fluttering.

Sun Ce couldn't help stretching out his hand, and grabbed the man's fleshy face.

"Fat to death," he said.

Ruan Wenren opened his hand, "It's good to be fat."

Seeing the current situation, Ah Xian couldn't help feeling a little dazed.In the six years of getting along, except for the first time that the young master of the Sun family entered the young master's study four years ago, it was the first time I saw these two people sitting clearly and plainly, neither arguing nor arguing about anything, peaceful and quiet. Quiet, flat and light.

It seems that the years are quiet.

If the days to come were like this, Ah Xian felt that maybe his life would be a hundred times better.

But that's just a feeling.

On the day when the eldest son of the Sun family won the champion of Wu, the residence of the Sun family was filled with congratulatory relatives and friends, but Sun Ce just stayed in the study of the second young master of the Ruan family, drinking tea and chatting. .

— But it was only that day.

When Sun Ce came again the next day, Mr. Ruan was still arguing and arguing about what should be thrown away.

For the next six months, General Sun always went back to the mansion after going to court every day to change into an official mansion. He was still leaning in front of Ruan Wenren's study in white clothes, and he had to wait at least an hour before leaving.

He didn't go to Qiao's house to propose marriage, nor did he bring a matchmaker into the mansion.

He just came to sit in this mansion every day, sometimes he brought the four treasures of the study bestowed by the emperor, sometimes he brought the daughter red from the Emerald Building, and sometimes he brought the jade pendant he bought from somewhere.

But the little devil king who was originally a dandy, never went to brothels or flower shops, and occasionally went out with a group of friends to drink in restaurants, or accompanied his mother or elder sister to Yun'an Temple to worship Buddha, and went to court every day. He spent time bickering and chatting with Sun Ce, and in the rest of the spare time, the second young master of the Ruan family just read books and drew a pen, and devoted himself to preparing for the imperial examination three years later.

Half a year has passed so plainly but fulfillingly. Mrs. Ruan sighed that the prodigal son turned back after half a year. The eldest lady of the Ruan family also made a marriage with great satisfaction. The youngest of the family was alone, in the winter when the capital was covered with snow, wearing silver armor and riding a white horse, he led a hundred thousand soldiers out of the city gate and rushed to the unreachable border.

(ten)

Ah Xian remembered the day when Sun Ce set out to fight.

The snow that day was not heavy, but barely covered the entire capital.My young master stayed at Yun'an Temple that night, and talked about learning and Buddhism with Master Jingyu all night.

Early the next morning, the young man in blue glanced at the slowly falling snow through the window, took off the golden safety lock that he had worn since he was a child, and handed it to his school boy.

He looked out the window and said in a low voice, "Leave it to him for me. Let him... take care."

"Young master, are you not going to send it off?" Axian didn't immediately lock the lock.

"Anyway, he'll be back. I don't want to cry and say goodbye." He turned his head and stuffed the safety lock into Ah Xian's hand, "Leave it to him."

Axian glanced at the safety lock in his hand, hesitated to speak.

"Go." The young man in blue looking out the window spoke again.

Ah Xian finally turned around and walked out of the door, riding his horse to the west gate of the capital.

The [-] troops were already ready to go, and indeed they stood neatly outside the city gate, and did not move. ——The coach did not move, and the army did not move.

Sun Ce just rode a white horse, stood in front of the [-] troops, and looked at the Yunji Mountain not far away.White snow fell one after another, covering one layer after another, and the snow in front of him was just flat.

A Xian rode a horse, leaving a continuous horseshoe print on the flat snow.

"Young General Sun! Young General Sun!" He shouted at Sun Ce who was not far away.

The white snow fell one after another, somewhat blurring his vision. He could only see the major general in silver armor riding towards him, but could not see the other party's expression.

When it was close, Ah Xian pulled the rein and stopped.He and Sun Ce got off their horses and walked in front of each other.

In an instant, their footprints were left on the white snow.

Ah Xian looked at Sun Ce, the eyes of the eldest son of the Sun family were full of disappointment and doubt, "Where's that guy?"

He took out the safety lock that Ruan Wenren took off in the morning from his arms and handed it over, "Master gave it to you, he asked you to take care."

The young general in silver-white armor hesitated for a moment before taking over the safety lock that was still warm in A Xian's arms.He lowered his head and looked at the safety lock, wondering what he was thinking.

"You must take care." Seeing the eldest son of the Sun family like this, Ah Xian finally said something more, "Master, he said that he didn't like to leave crying, that's why he didn't come. It's not that he won't come."

A little smile returned to Sun Ce's eyes, he put on the safety lock in front of Ah Xian, and carefully stuffed the entrustment sent by the second young master of the Ruan family into the armor.

He said, "Thank you! Please tell him for me...I'll take care!"

Then he turned around and got on his horse, and rode back to the army without looking back.

Ah Yin did not leave immediately.

He saw the army slowly set off, and it seemed that countless soldiers were always passing by in front of his eyes, and they had already trampled the snow in an extremely messy manner.When the sun hit the white snow without hindrance, and the army had disappeared in front of him, he got on his horse and rushed back to Yun'an Temple.

When he returned to the meditation room, Ruan Wenren was still sitting on the futon, looking out the window at the white snow.

A Xian walked in front of him, "Master, General Sun Dongsi has already taken away. He said he will take care of himself."

Hearing this, Ruan Wenren narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to carefully look at the snow outside the window.He squinted his eyes for a quarter of an hour before standing up.

"Let's go down the mountain," he said.

A Xian followed behind him without saying anything.

On the way back to the manor, stepping on the army along the road, walking through the ruts, horseshoes and footprints that have not been completely covered by the snow, the Ruan Van people just lifted the curtain of the carriage, stretched out their heads, and looked at the scenery as far as they could see, sometimes frowning , Smiling from time to time, I don’t know what I’m thinking.

Ah Yin didn't disturb his young master's meditation, but just drove the carriage quietly.

In the days that followed, despite the lack of General Sun Shao who was making trouble every day, Ruan Van lived a normal and fulfilling life.

It takes more than two months to go back and forth from the capital to the border. One month after the departure of the army, the Ruan Manor received letters from different places every few days, but the time interval between each letter was longer than the last one. .

The person who sent the letter has gone farther and farther.

After I knew it, there was only one letter every two months.The second young master of the Ruan family always opened the envelope by himself, and wrote one himself on the same day and asked someone to send it back.

After two springs and autumns like this, the eldest miss of the Ruan family who had already left the cabinet gave birth to a fat boy, and from time to time she brought her newborn son back to the house to visit the old lady Ruan who was already ill in bed.

After the Qingming Festival in the next year, the triennial imperial examination began, and the capital once again gathered martial arts students from all over the world.It was only when the ranking list was high that the dandies of the aristocratic family discovered that the third young master of the Ruan family who was the most dandy in the past was actually Zhong Jieyuan.

Although he was not the number one scholar, it was enough to shock the entire capital.

When the imperial decree of the official appointment arrived at the Ruan Mansion, the father-in-law who read it kept holding Ruan Wenren's hand to congratulate him. He said that the Ruan family really deserved to be a well-known scholarly family in the capital.

But Ruan Jieyuan, who followed the imperial decree, didn't half open his mind. Instead, he frowned, and his eyes were filled with worry that he couldn't go back.

It was originally a letter from the border every two months, but it has been cut off for three months.

(eleven)

Mrs. Ruan survived the winter for one year, but finally failed to survive the winter of the second year.

It has not been half a year since the title of the second young master of the Ruan family won the title of Xie Yuan, a piece of white silk was hung in the Ruan mansion, and the whole house was completely plain.

At this moment in the Ruan Mansion, there was only one Ruan Wen man left, and the deserted Ruan Mansion became more and more deserted.

Because of Mrs. Ruan's death, the second youngest of the Ruan family got a three-year leave of absence to observe filial piety.

The original blue clothes turned into white clothes, and even the headband that tied the hair was only white.Many of the servants in the mansion were dismissed, making the huge Ruan Mansion even more lonely.

But the young master of the Ruan family who is now in charge of the family is still stubbornly writing letters and sending them to the border.

But there was no news from General Sun Shao at the border for almost a year.

He still persisted.Never give up.

Whenever the Ruan Mansion was quiet and frighteningly quiet, Ah Xian would always ask his young master: "Master, do you regret not going to see General Sun off in person?"

The answer is always the same.

--How can it be.Isn't it just that I didn't send him off, and it's not like he won't come back, so why should I cry in front of the [-] troops.

——Why do you regret not sending him off?I just have to be the first to pick him up when he comes back.

So the young master of the Ruan family spent a year without any disturbances.

The 5 troops who rushed to the border more than four years ago finally returned to the capital, but only more than [-] names were written on the list of returning home.

However, the second young master of the Ruan family had no plans to continue watching the roster of returning home.

He just stood at the gate of the south side of the city where the soldiers returned on the ninth day of March, watching iron-blooded men who fought in the battlefield one after another enter the city gate, and watching people in the capital happily pick up the people who had been away for many years. Son, watch the sun set and the city gates close tightly.

"Master..."

"Impossible! He is the general leading the troops, how could it be like this..." He muttered to himself, trying to persuade himself not to believe the conjecture at the moment.

But the letters that were supposed to arrive every two months have long been cut off.

"I'm going to check the roster—"

"No need." He stopped the book boy's plan, turned around and mounted his horse back to Ruan Mansion.

On the second day after the soldiers returned, the Sun Mansion hung up white silk.

And Ruan Wenren stayed in the Ruan Mansion, listening to his book boy slowly telling the cruel truth, he looked at the window of the study, his eyes gradually lost focus.

On the third day after hearing the news, Ruan Wenren knelt straight outside the gate of the Sun Mansion, and Ah Xian knelt down without hesitation, and accompanied his young master who had been serving him for ten years.

Kneeling all night, in the early morning of the next day, the housekeeper of the Sun family was just holding the urn of the eldest son of the Sun family, and the servant behind him was holding a battle robe that had already been riddled with holes. safe lock.

They said that the thing was gently placed on the snow, "Get up. Keep this thing... the second young master can't tolerate it, why don't you take it."

Ah Xian struggled to help his young master up, and together with his young master, they took the three items left by the man and walked slowly back to the Ruan Mansion, which was only a few streets away from the Sun Mansion.

In the days that followed, Ah Yin watched Ruan Wenren become silent again, became quiet again, like the Ruan Wenren who blindfolded himself in the room eight years ago, helpless.Mrs. Ruan has passed away, Miss Ruan is full of children and grandchildren, and Second Young Master Ruan, who was supposed to continue to support the Ruan family, has nothing to worry about at this moment.

Miss Ruan tried to persuade him for a month, but Second Young Master Ruan, who was wearing a safety lock around his neck, remained unmoved.

However, eight years passed, and there was no second eldest son of the Sun family who climbed over the wall of the Ruan family and walked into the bedroom of the second youngest member of the Ruan family.

Miss Ruan was at a loss for what to do, so she finally went to Yunji Mountain and invited the kind-hearted Master Jingyu.

One month after Master Jingyu visited the Ruan Mansion, Ruan Wenren dismissed all the servants in the mansion, and at the same time left a large sum of money for Ah Xian and Uncle Wang.

"I have already handed in the memorial of resignation. From now on, there will be no such person as Er Shao Ruan in the capital. Uncle Wang, Ah Xian, let's go." He handed the money to the two closest servants in front of him.

Uncle Wang didn't shirk and accepted the money.

Ah Yin put back his outstretched hand, "Master, I don't want money, I'll follow you."

Ruan Wenren, who already had brilliance in his eyes, shook his head gently, "Don't follow me, it is not known where Ruan Wenren will be in the days to come, how can he take you with him?
