Lie Junhou [Rebirth]

The little prince of the Yuezhi Kingdom, the little unlucky Ulanja, had just escaped from death, and was taken aback by Nie Yanli's sudden appearance. behind.

Shao Chongyou: "..." This little coward reacted quickly.

Nie Yanli watched with interest, Lin Yi rode over, got off the horse, and strode over when he saw this.

Wulanjia finally saw Lin Yi, who looked familiar, and was so excited that he grabbed Shao Chongyou's lapel and jumped on the spot twice: "You you, you are here!"

Lin Yi squinted his eyes and smiled, and walked with rustling steps. He gently pulled Wulanjia to let him let go of Shao Chongyou, nodded slightly to Shao Chongyou, and then took Wulanjia out of the alley first.

He rubbed Wulanjia's curly hair, and shook his shoulders: "The little curly hair has encountered trouble for your Yuezhi Kingdom's envoy again?"

Wulanjia sighed, at least he relaxed, and he was no longer as frightened as a bird: "I got separated from the envoys, and I wanted to go to Jinling to reunite with them, but in the end I almost..."

Nie Yanli met Lin Yi face to face, and walked towards Shao Chongyou unhurriedly, smiling like a spring day, with a radiant smile.

"Are you still so soft-hearted?" Nie Yanli walked halfway and asked Shao Chongyou standing there.

Shao Chongyou said: "Otherwise, every time you wake up drunk, you should be sleeping under the flower trellis instead of indoors."

"Sounds reasonable." Nie Yanli stretched out her arms, her tone was joking, "What should I do, I want to hug you too."

Shao Chongyou always showed a hint of helplessness on his frost-covered face, shook his head and smiled, lowered his eyes and put away the Wanren Sword, allowing Nie Yanli to come leisurely and hug him, and gently bump him on the shoulder.

Nie Yanli hooked his waist with one hand, and wrapped his other hand around his back, took off the dagger left by the person who threatened Ulanja, which was nailed in the gap between the bricks in the wall, and threw it half a circle between his fingers.

"It's a good knife." He knew it with a glance.

Shao Chongyou reached out and patted his back.Nie Yanli wanted to take a step back, but Shao Chongyou pressed slightly on his lower back, brought him back into his arms, and followed Nie Yanli's back, as if responding to his joking request for a hug.

Nie Yanli thought it was funny, so she simply put her chin on his shoulder and sneered: "Tsk, my brother really responds to his words. I have always coaxed others, and it is rare to be coaxed today."

"It's rare to see you care about such things." Shao Chongyou raised his hand to take the short dagger in his hand, "This dagger has an unusual origin."

Nie Yanli's waist was embraced by Shao Chongyou, so she leaned her upper body back slightly, and was very close to face to face with Shao Chongyou, her gaze swept over Shao Chongyou's downcast and deep eyes, and then at the dagger: "It's a small For girls."

The dagger is well-made and not expensive, but the turquoise inlaid on the handle is of good quality. It is a low-key, practical and elegant thing. Ordinary merchants in the Western Regions would not wear this kind of thing for self-defense.

The two went out of the narrow alley, and Lin Yi was asking Wulanjia the reason for the incident.

"I ran into that man on the road, and later entered Jinling City, and happened to go with him again, but he was very wary, thinking that I was following him, so he insisted on explaining my purpose."

Ulanja recalled so much that she felt like crying.

Shao Chongyou said: "Do you know that is a woman?"

Wulanjia didn't pay attention to that person at all, but he felt familiar when he met again in Jinling, and then he was held in an alley for interrogation, so he didn't pay attention to these things.

He shook his head and took a breath: "It's too cruel."

The three of them speculated that it was because of the special status of the woman that she was so vigilant, so that she treated Wulan Jia as a follower.

Lin Yi discussed some things with Nie Yanli and Shao Chongyou, and they went to settle in the city.

He escorted Wulanjia to the official post, reunited with the Yuezhi Kingdom envoys, and repeatedly told him to protect himself.

This year, the grand meeting of Linbo just started, and envoys from all over the world poured in one after another, and two major events happened quietly.

One is the mining along the Feiyu River in northern Xinjiang, and countless iron ore will be mined continuously, which can be used by Rouran's thirteen million cavalry to harness horses and strengthen their troops.

The second is that all the twelve ports in the three bays of Nanyang were completed and opened. At the end of the month, a Nanyang fleet of more than a hundred ships sailed here. Countless overseas treasures were unloaded from the big ships and sold out by merchants. Unclear rare goods drifted from the land of Dayan to a strange country at the far end of the ocean.

In the vast and boundless territory of Yan State, the Dingyuan Army was shackled by a Sparrow Talisman order, allowing foreign trade routes to be unimpeded, and the power of all parties was continuously tightened internally.Under the grand scene of envoys from all directions and congratulations from all nations, the balance inside and outside the territory seems to be constantly being broken and rebuilt.

Jinling City is naturally the center of mediation by various forces. Lin Yi led Lu Qi, the commander of Lu Xiaowei, together. After repeated persuasion, Emperor Yongguang finally ordered people to triple the power of the imperial city patrol during the Linbo Grand Meeting. It is still not possible to take care of all corners.

Especially Ulanja, a little thing, has the attribute of unlucky luck, but fortunately, he can always save the day in crisis.

The imperial palace was very lively today, because the envoys from the ten foreign countries arrived at the same time, Emperor Yongguang hosted a banquet to welcome the wind, and the early gathering was also a warm-up for the Linbo grand event.

Xiao Huan didn't intend to show up, but Emperor Yongguang specially asked the palace people to invite him.

Lin Yi hadn't returned to the palace yet, and it was still early, so he took a detour and went to the Imperial Study Room to meet Emperor Yongguang alone.

After coming out, Xiao Huan was stopped by someone, and a palace man said: "General, someone invited you to Qingyang Water Pavilion to have a talk."

The palace servants didn't know who the other party was, so Xiao Huan thought for a moment, then decided to go and have a look.

Adjacent to the Royal Garden and Danshu Garden, Qingyang Waterside Pavilion is an elegant and quiet small garden by the water, with winding corridors and a scene at every step, which is better than exquisiteness and quietness.

Xiao Huan stepped into the Qingyang Waterside Pavilion, and saw a young woman dressed in foreign costumes waiting at the corridor, surrounded by several attendants, all dressed in foreign lands.

The woman was extremely beautiful, with profound features, a slender and stretched waist, a neck like a jade carving, eyes like a lake, and her smile was like the blue light of flowing clouds on the top of a snow-capped mountain.

Xiao Huan asked from a distance: "What's the matter, Your Highness?"

This woman's appearance can be guessed at a glance, she is the princess Mansha of Xiye Kingdom.

Mansha raised her hand, and the servants around her stepped aside. She smiled generously and gently, and she was actually a bit sassy and heroic: "General, there is something I want to return to you."

Xiao Huan still didn't move, his face covered by the mask remained calm: "I have no friendship with Your Highness."

Mansha didn't mind. She opened a long wooden box next to it. Inside the box was a scroll tied with a ribbon.

"This painting was accidentally left here by a friend of the general. We finally meet today, so it should be returned to the original owner."

Xiao Huan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and walked forward.

Mansha untied the ribbon, and slowly unfolded the scroll on the stone table in the waterside pavilion. The scenery and characters in the painting appeared in front of her eyes little by little.

Although it has been preserved with great care, the rice paper has become slightly worn, and it can be seen that the painting was mounted long after the painting was completed.

On the paper is a tall and blooming Rhododendron tree, full of winding branches, bright red and fragrant. There is a desk next to the flower, on which there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. One person is sitting in front of the desk, but he is not holding a pen. It seems that he is just sitting quietly. What to think about there.

This is a young man, dressed in a black brocade robe, with flowing black hair.

His eyes were covered by a long and narrow black silk ribbon, which was tied behind his head, and was blown by the breeze along with the three thousand blue silk.

Light ink strokes, Wu Dai is in the wind, every stroke of ink is engraved in the bone.

The man turned half his back to the outside of the painting, and he could only see some of his profile, but not the whole face.Even so, the man in the painting is also outlined by the writer.

This person is quiet, a little fragile, but unruly, he seems to have gone through many drastic changes in the world to become like this.He is complex, yet extremely clear.

Xiao Huan looked at Lin Yi in the painting for a long time, even though it was just a back view.

It has been a long time since he painted Lin Yi in his previous life, and he has not seen old paintings for a long time, because he wants to face the people around him in this life wholeheartedly, instead of replacing them with memories.

When I suddenly saw this painting at this time, countless pasts could not help rushing towards my face, and the past dripped like an hourglass.

Mansha looked at him curiously from the side, but she couldn't see what this General Fengdu was thinking under the mask.

"The general's paintings are vivid, this man must be your best friend." Mansha said.

Xiao Huan came back to his senses, and stretched out his hand to put away the scroll inch by inch.

"How did Her Royal Highness get this painting?" He said lightly.

"The general doesn't know?" Mansha was a little surprised.

Xiao Huan didn't use the ribbon to tie up the scroll, and directly took the scroll in his hand: "This painting should have been kept in my house, but I don't know who brought it to His Highness."

Mansha thought for a while, then smiled and said: "A real person from the East China Sea traveled to Xiye Kingdom, and exchanged some rare medicinal materials with me with a portrait of me. When he left, he accidentally left this painting. He said it was all drawn by the general. They gave it to me together, but after thinking about it for a long time, I should only keep my portrait and return this one.”

Xiao Huan vaguely had a guess, probably Mr. Yuheng took it out of Danxiao Palace and wanted to exchange the painting for medicinal materials, so he left this pair in Xiye Kingdom.

There is nothing to criticize. The medicinal materials collected by Mr. Yuheng are basically used by Xiao Huan and Lin Yi. The wool comes from sheep, and many rare medicines cannot be bought with money.

He nodded: "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, I'll take care of you."

Mansha said: "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure in crimson clothes stepped into Qingyang Water Pavilion.

The clothes are gorgeous and eye-catching, the black hair is tied high with a jade crown, the temples are cut like knives, and the eyes are like stars. Among the sparkling waves and bright light, the whole person is like a scorching sun.

"The palace man said you were here, so I came here directly. Hey, this is..." Lin Yi stepped into the corridor, looked at Mansha curiously for a moment, and recognized Mansha's identity, "Xia Liejun Hou Linyi, Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry."

Mansha nodded slightly to him, with a bright smile: "You are Lin Yi? I have heard of you for a long time."

Lin Yi looked at Xiao Huan, blinked at him, and asked with a smile, "Is it not time for me?"

Xiao Huan raised his hand and brushed his shoulder lightly, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "How come, you came just in time."

The two said goodbye to Mansha: "See you at the palace banquet later."

Mansha watched them leave, and watched Lin Yi say something to Xiao Huan with a smile on his side. Xiao Huan listened patiently, and he could almost see that his tone of voice was soft when he answered.

Mansha was thoughtful, and suddenly felt that Lin Yi's back seemed familiar, and her thoughts turned, thinking of the back in the painting.

Lin Yi in front of him looks like a young man, with a free and easy temperament, which is clearly different from the quiet and fragile man in the painting, but still so similar.

The charm is in the bones, even if the world changes and the world changes, there will always be something in a person that has never changed.

Lin Yi took Xiao Huan to accompany him back to Wanyue Hall to change clothes, and when he saw the scroll in Xiao Huan's hand, he reached out and said, "What is this?"

Xiao Huan didn't let him go this time, but put his hands behind his back. Lin Yi rushed to nothing, then hugged Xiao Huan with his teeth grinning, pushed him into the hall and pushed him against the door: "When you see the princess, treat me to the Marquis!" So ruthless, the general is so cruel."

"Don't make trouble." Xiao Huan took him into the hall, untied Lin Yi's belt by the way, pushed him to change his dress, and put away the painting.

Lin Yi removed his clothes in twos and threes, and put on a dress robe with brocade pattern and dark red background. While fiddling with his belt, he rubbed against Xiao Huan again: "What kind of painting is that, show me."

Acting like a baby this time didn’t work, Xiao Huan turned around, put his arms around him, carried him to the table and sat on the edge, looked down at him, the cold mask covered most of his face, only his lips were warm and beautiful: “You are not good now, I'll show you later."

"Really?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, took Xiao Huan's hand and put it inside his robe, letting him wrap his arms around his waist, "That was the princess of Xiye Kingdom just now, are you old acquaintances?"

Xiao Huan smiled lightly, and rubbed his back for a moment: "How about an old acquaintance?"

"It's nothing, it's just rumored that she's going to marry her to be the Seventh Princess." Lin Yi tried his best to speak calmly, but the small flames in his eyes ignited clusters.

"No." Xiao Huan kissed him on the forehead, but Lin Yi couldn't help but keep asking, and lowered his head to give a gentle kiss, "We should be late for the palace banquet."

Lin Yi gave a majestic "hum" before giving up: "Xiao Jinzhi, if you marry, you will never see me again."

Xiao Huan lowered his head to straighten his robe, and carefully fastened the belt embroidered with the roaring tiger pattern. Hearing this, his hands paused, and he said slowly: "That will kill me, young master."

Lin Yi froze for a moment, feeling if he was speaking too seriously, he held Xiao Huan's hand and said in a low voice, "No, as long as you are well, how can I be reluctant to see you?"

Xiao Huan adjusted Lin Yi's dress, took him by the waist and took him off the case, and hugged him for a moment: "That must be done, don't let me lose you."
