Murong paper on the snow mountain

Finally, like enlightenment, some things that I couldn't figure out before had a reasonable explanation.

I'll just say it, I'll just say it.Xie Li smiled wryly.

It's just a Maple Leaf Villa, how busy can it be?Even if it is the number one sect in the Jianghu, can it really make you so busy that you forget to sleep and eat, and you can't take a step?

You clearly promised Ah Zhi to go back, Luojing City and Yunsheng State are so close, are you so busy that you can't spare a day to visit him?If it's because the villa is busy, why would you never explain it to him when you would rather Ah Zhi gouged out your eyes?

In the past, Xie Lu had always sympathized with Tang Ji, but also silently looked down on Tang Ji.

Because in his heart, he couldn't help feeling that this person was sincere to Ah Zhi at one moment, and at the same time felt that he was a hypocrite at all-it was all excuses for not having time to go back.

But it turns out, it turns out...

From the very beginning, in addition to being the owner of "Maple Leaf Villa", you were also the southwestern intelligence officer that King Ning placed under the eyes of King Cheng in Luojing City.

That's why you would rather lose one eye and break Ah Zhi's heart than have too much to do with him.

……

Because you don't want him to be involved in unnecessary disputes, and you don't want him to be a man of unscrupulous people with strange skills.

Because you... know that you can't help yourself, let alone protect him.

The most rare thing for a person in the Jianghu is the word "freedom" - ups and downs in the world, whether it is himself or Tang Ji, now they are caught in an inescapable situation.But what is different from him is that after all, Maple Leaf Villa is a century-old famous family. Tang Ji is a modest gentleman who has read poetry and books since he was a child.

As for himself, he was still too tender, and almost hurt Ah Zhi.

Xie Lu silently stood beside King Ning, and when Tang Ji looked up and saw him, he smiled wryly.

There has never been a moment when I have such a feeling of "being the same as the end of the world" with someone.It's hard to describe the feeling of tacit understanding.

……

"My lord, I have searched all over, Pavilion Master Xun and others are indeed not in the palace!"

"What? Didn't he say where he went? He didn't tell you or his servants? Then what about the few people he brought from the Shadow Pavilion? Call them all over for questioning!"

"My lord," the servant said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "except for Li Feiying, all the people in the Shadow Pavilion are missing now!"

"This, how is this possible? The outside of this palace is full of water, can they still run with wings? Find it for me!"

"My lord! The situation is bound to change, please make a quick decision!" Tang Ji cupped his hands, his expression anxious: "Master Xun is nowhere to be found, and the news from Maple Leaf Villa should be correct—in the past six months, King Cheng has written to Master Xun frequently. The owner of the pavilion is afraid that he has two hearts early. The day before yesterday, King Cheng secretly returned to the fief from the capital. The spies discovered that the owner of the pavilion had brought the elite of Yingge to join King Cheng overnight. We will be surrounded by Prince Ning's Mansion, and it will be too late to leave before that time!"

"Impossible!" The brilliance in King Ning's eyes flashed, and his long sleeves fell: "Xun Chang has been with me for more than ten years, and he will never betray me!"

"My lord! People's hearts are unpredictable. The owner of the pavilion is not in the palace now, and he has not explained his whereabouts to the lord. It is inevitable to be suspicious! The subordinates know that the lord has followed the lord for many years. The lord has always trusted the lord, but now the world, become the king Grasping the general trend, there is no guarantee that the pavilion master will not think about playing around with the wind—"

"What do you mean by the wind! Don't talk nonsense! Xun Chang has been by my side for many years and is loyal to me! Even if everyone in the world turns their backs on me, Xun Chang won't!"

"General Xie," Tang Ji saw that King Ning couldn't move, turned around and bowed to Xie Lu: "King Cheng secretly returned from the capital seven days ago. Maple Leaf Villa found the news and sent more than a dozen pigeons , but the Yunjin Palace has never received one! Maple Leaf Mountain Villa’s pigeons have never sent letters wrong in the past, this matter is by no means unusual, and needs to be thoroughly investigated!”

"Also, and - the night before last, the Maple Leaf Villa ran out of water for no reason, and almost all the pigeons were burned to death. The Elder of the Medicine Pavilion fought with the person who set the fire. The moves used by that person are very similar to Wei Lun, the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Shadow Pavilion! Wei Lun! The Deputy Pavilion Master has always only listened to Pavilion Master Xun's orders, and now neither of them are in the Yunjin Palace..."

"Tang Ji, if you don't have real evidence, if you dare to talk nonsense again, this king, this king..."

"Young Envoy Tang, we can't get close," Xie Lv stopped the two of them in a low voice, "Your Highness has been tired all day, and Young Envoy Tang came from swimming in Luojing City, so he should have changed his clothes earlier and put it on." It won't be good if you get sick with the cold air."

……

……

The sky is already dark, and there is a bright moon again, which is rare for many days, and the wind is slightly cold.

"Zhaoming, do you think... Xun Chang, he will really betray me?"

"What does your lord think?"

"He doesn't have the guts." Yan Shuning leaned on the side of the bed, holding a large pot of wine with an aggrieved expression on his face: "He is not stupid! King Cheng is notoriously stubborn and dull. Like Xun Chang, he has a heart." How can an arrogant person be willing to serve such an unseemly master! Zhaoming, if it were you, would you be willing to serve that King Cheng?"

Xie Lv shook his head, closed the window beside the bed, and snatched the flagon from the drunken Yan Shuning.

"My lord said it himself. Pavilion Master Xun has been with his lord for more than ten years, so how could he betray him? So, His Highness Prince Ning, don't worry too much. We have to leave tomorrow morning, and we need to rest earlier today." , Maybe Pavilion Master Xun will come back tonight, and when the time comes, the prince himself will ask him to punish him."

"Oh," Yan Shuning murmured with blank eyes, "But who knows about this kind of thing?"

"I thought, Zhaoming, that you would never leave me, but you always... still left me, didn't you?"

"My lord, why bring up the old matter again? Isn't this subordinate coming back?"

Yan Shuning was startled, and lowered his head: "Okay, don't mention it, don't mention it. Blame me, I think it's all my fault. It shouldn't be mentioned."

"Who told me...to treat you badly at the beginning. If Xun Chang really abandoned me, I would blame me... Who told me to let him take off his humble status when I became the emperor? Obviously, I only asked my father to do something with a word, but I insisted on asking him to wait. After such a delay, it has delayed him for more than ten years."

"Thinking about him...doesn't it make you feel chilling?"

"For a master like me who has no human feelings at all, it's not surprising that he feels chilling. Even if King Cheng is ridiculous and stupid in his daily life, I'm afraid he won't be as cruel as me to the people close to him."

"My master taught me since I was a child that the heart of an emperor must be merciless. It is said that the former prince Qianyi killed his brother and father, sent his beloved concubine to marry outside the Great Wall, and was born in the emperor's family, so he must be so ruthless. Eventually become an emperor through the ages. You can't trust others, let alone have... relatives, friends, and lovers."

"I always thought that was right."

"So for so many years, I have repeatedly put you in danger of eternal doom. I am worried, I am afraid, I always think about what kind of thing Chengwang is, and how can the hundreds of years of Daxia's foundation be handed over to him In his hand? If he really becomes the emperor, wouldn’t the world be in chaos and the people be in dire straits?”

"As for me, I thought I could become a wise emperor like Emperor Qianyi. Under my control, Great Xia will surely prosper and prosper, with strict laws and regulations, and everyone will follow the rules and live and work in peace and contentment."

"But... maybe it's because I'm too eager for quick success. The more achievements I have made over the years, the more my father is wary of me and more partial to King Cheng. Even though King Cheng is stupid and absurd, Emperor Father still allows him to occupy the palace and control the palace. I have military power; on the contrary, I have been confiscated and have nothing, and I live every day carefully like walking on thin ice."

"Just after you left. Zhaoming, I lived for almost 30 years. It wasn't until you left that I suddenly felt that my life was completely upside-down for so many years."

"I want to become an emperor and live forever. But, when that moment really comes, if there is no you and Xun Chang, what's the point of being so high and cold?"

"So, I came to you. It's not because you are the 'General Zhaoming Zhenyuan', but because I want to see you and keep you by my side, so I came to you."

"I know, it's despicable for me to use Ting Xuegong and forcefully keep a baby as a threat to tie you by my side. But I really, really have no other choice, Zhaoming, I don't want you to leave again, We're still the same as before, okay?"

……

Xie Lv held his breath, he restrained all his strength, under the shadow of the moon, he finally only whispered: "This subordinate won't leave, I beg my lord to let Zhao Zhao... let him go back to the snow mountain."

His tone was flat, not even pleading, and his face was not in a good mood.

Yan Shuning couldn't see that his knees were weakening.He only stood there by pressing the wooden table next to him.

The blood in his body was hot over and over again, Xie Lv knew that Yan Shuning's every word just now was pouring out his heart and lungs like never before.He had never seen such a situation in the past, so he was really only a little bit close, and he almost had to tell the truth from the bottom of his heart——

He could even see that scene - he knelt down, kowtowed, and promised to win the soldier symbols of Canglan and Shaliu for Yan Shuning, and take the old troops to fight for him, whether it be five years or ten years, no matter what They will be born and die by his side, until the day when they see Yan Shuning in the yellow robe and standing on the top of the city, and the banner is in the sky in high spirits.

If that day really comes, Your Highness King Ning, you will get what you want... Let me go back to Yunsheng Prefecture, okay?

From then on, there will be no relationship between the two.The emperor sits high in the bright hall, which used to belong to the world of mortals.

Just because of me, I want to go back to that person.

I used to cherish immortal feats and live forever, looking forward to the age of poetry and wine with eyebrows, smiles and dimples.But ever since he left Beijing and returned to the snow-capped mountains, from then on, he could only pretend to be a Murong paper in his heart.

Promised him to guard him and protect him for the rest of his life.I can help you get the country you want; but you have to promise me to live up to it, forgive me that I can no longer accept it in this life.

Xie Lv never thought in the past that he would have today.

If it was a year ago, Yan Shuning's words would have made him so moved and elated.At that time, how could he have imagined that now, every day in this Yunjin Palace, every day beside King Ning, whom he had been thinking about so much, would lead a muddle-headed and haunted life.

I just feel that half of the three souls and six souls are not on me.Still on the snow mountain, still lingering around Murong Zhi, so that what he could hear and see before his eyes always felt that it was both real and illusory.

I don't know if Ah Zhi has eaten well these days.I don't know how boring his daily life would be without me baking him sugar cookies and reading him story books.

Countless thoughts lingered in his mind, but Xie Lv never said anything.

can not say.

Ah Zhi loves Zhao Zhao.It would be enough to tell King Ning to send Zhao Zhao back.

But if he wants to go back to that person, he must not say so.

Even though it seemed like he was digging out his heart and soul, after ten years, he couldn't figure out what Yan Shuning was thinking in the past.Today, he still dare not guess, nor does he want to guess.

That Zhao Ming who was willing to foolishly tell Yan Shuning anything and do everything for Yan Shuning is no longer here.
