Flowing Years

The sound of the flute is clear and distant, the gauze floats up and down slowly, the dancer lowers her waist softly, as if she has no bones, and her way is graceful.With a roundabout, the thin silk flew into the air, and the woman jumped out of the dust, as light as a feather, extremely soft and charming.The jade chime is spirited, and a little bit of color falls into the light gauze. This is light and the other is seductive, meeting and parting, making people linger.

Bai Zezhi sipped the fine wine, smiled lazily and watched the beauty dance lightly.

"How? Could it catch your eyes?" Qilan asked with a smile.

Bai Zezhi nodded and praised: "Very good. No wonder the wind and rain are miserable, but there are so many guests here."

"That's natural. What I praise must be good." Qilan said proudly.

Bai Zezhi smiled slightly, and took the last sip of wine.

"People want to have fun on their own. After doing this, I feel comfortable and a day goes by." Qilan got up.

It was only then that Bai Zezhi realized that this person was taking care of himself because he saw that he was unhappy.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Qilan looked outside.

Bai Zezhi also stood up.

The two of them galloped on the street at night, the harsh wind blew away the laziness on their faces, and the confusion that belonged to drunkenness.For a moment, Bai Zezhi seemed like a lifetime away.As if going back to the past, riding a horse back home at night.Everything is a familiar street scene, but things are different.

After Qilan sent him to him, he didn't say a word of farewell, just walked towards the place where he lived, with a view of his back waving.

Bai Zezhi smiled slightly, he was still a carefree playboy.

Before going to sleep, Bai Zezhi closed the doors and windows tightly, and checked himself again before wrapping himself in a thick quilt.In the middle of the night, Bai Zezhi began to feel a dark ache all over his body again, tossing and turning, he fell into a warm embrace.

Bai Zezhi woke up with a jerk, and saw that the person next to him had got up.

Qilie brought over the ginger juice that had been prepared for a long time, and said to the sober Bai Zezhi, "You take it off yourself, or should I take it off?"

Bai Zezhi frowned, how could he get in even though he was locked up tightly?Holding the quilt with his hands, he wrapped himself tightly.

Qilie put the ginger juice on the table next to the bed, reached out and fished Bai Zezhi over, ignored Bai Zezhi's struggle, and took off his clothes in twos and threes.

"Why are you so stubborn!" Qi Lie suppressed Bai Zezhi, rubbed a cotton pad soaked in ginger juice on Bai Zezhi's body vigorously, and said angrily, "It's not good to keep warm indoors in this weather, so I have to go out to have a shower rain!"

Bai Zezhi knew that he couldn't hide everything during the day, and those hidden guards followed him all the time, even in places like Hua Qianyue, they never left a step.

Qilie's hands were strong, and this time he was angry again, and after a few wipes, his body turned red.Bai Zezhi didn't feel any pain, his body was already sore, but he just felt that the soreness was not so severe after exerting so much force, and gradually began to feel comfortable, and fell asleep again in a trance.After Qilie withdrew his hands, he looked at Bai Zezhi who was blushing and confessed that he had fallen asleep in front of him, and shook his head helplessly.He flicked the cotton kerchief, wrapped Bai Zezhi tightly in the quilt, hugged her in his arms and fell asleep.

The next day, it was that ruthless kick that greeted him.

Qilan, who lives not far away, couldn't help shaking his head and smiling when he saw Qilie rushing out of Lixian Palace with an unwashed and messy image early in the morning.

In the next few days, Qilan dragged Bai Zezhi out to play every day.Bai Zezhi also discovered that Qilan was very familiar with Kyoto.Which bean curds are sold in the streets and alleys is delicious, which humble mutton soup in the depths of the alley is authentic, which restaurant makes a certain dish the best, and which village outside the city has the most comfortable hot springs, etc. , he knew all about it, and took him to try one by one.

On this day, after soaking in the steaming hot spring and eating a pot of hot and spicy vegetables, the two rode back leisurely.When they arrived at Lixian Palace, the two found a heavy black shadow standing at the door.

"Tell you," Qi Lan leaned closer to Bai Zezhi, and said, "Qi Lie eats soft but not hard."

Bai Zezhi glared at him, turned around and walked into the house, ignoring Qi Lie who was standing at the door.

Qilan also shrugged, turned around and left.

Qi Lie watched Bai Zezhi enter the room, took a step slowly, and finally followed.

"You are not allowed to go out with him in the future." Qi Lie said behind him.

Just as Bai Zezhi stepped onto the wide corridor, he stopped, turned around, and looked at Qilie.

Qilie stopped her feet and stood on the porch.

"Killing is nothing more than nodding your head. What are you going to do with me?" Bai Zezhi was slightly shorter than Qi Lie, standing on the porch, and only had eye level with Qi Lie who was standing under the porch.Bai Zezhi never had the consciousness of being a prisoner.

"I..." His cold blue eyes narrowed slightly.

"Do you think that if you lock me up here, you don't know anything? Put me in the Lixian Palace, how will the officials of Fanxia look at me? Are you a rebellious minister and traitor who is collaborating with the enemy?" Bai Zezhi lowered his eyebrows, and his eyes were gloomy. , "I actually discredited the loyalty of the Bai family!" Bai Zezhi remembered what his father said, and only by living can there be hope.If you die, you can't face your father; but if you live, you can't face your father.

"Then let's live in Cheng'en Palace." Qi Lie said.He thought that the window paper had been pierced anyway, and even if he liked it, he had to do it openly.Before, he still had the idea that he couldn't bear to make him submit to the harem, but now it seems that if he lives in the Lixian Palace and has to be wronged and pointed out by others, then it is better to live in the harem.

"Where are you to me!" Bai Zezhi trembled with anger.

"How to think so complicated?" Qi Lie frowned, "If you want you, you have to work hard to get you. If you destroy your country and your home, you and I will no longer be enemies. If you are willing to join hands with me, Even if you share half of the country, it's just a matter of order. If you don't want to rule with me, then you can rest in the harem with peace of mind. I promise you that you will have no worries for the rest of your life, and no one can surpass you."

Bai Zezhi raised his head slightly, his eyes were full of sourness.He prefers that the two are still enemies, he is General Fan Xia, he is Emperor Mosang, they will only meet each other in battle, and will not be obsessed with each other.If you think about it, you will only think about it in the middle of the night when no one is around, and it will not lead to the destruction of the country and family.

"If I'm in the Lixian Palace, I'm a traitor. If I'm in the harem, I'm a sycophant. How do you choose me?" Bai Zezhi's eyes were full of disappointment, and this was a dead end.As proud as he is, this will never be reconciled.

Qi Lie frowned.

"Furthermore, although you and I are not rivals now, we are mortal enemies, and we will never stop dying!" Bai Zezhi paused every word after speaking.

"I won, you are mine!" Qilie should have felt that he won Bai Zezhi, so he should listen to him.Bai Zezhi loses his temper occasionally, but Qilie feels that he doesn't care about it, which is considered tolerant.

Bai Zezhi kicked his legs and punched Qi Lie.Qi Lie didn't expect that he would suddenly step forward, so he moved his body back slightly in a daze, buffering the strength of his fist, stopped the hidden guard who was about to move forward with both hands, and immediately stepped forward to restrain Bai Zezhi.Bai Zezhi jumped up halfway, sweeping his legs towards him.Qi Lie held his wound still tender, and his strength also lost a bit.

"You're just hurt..." Bai Zezhi elbowed half of Qilie's words, cutting half of them away.This petty temper!Qilie sighed inwardly, and tried to restrain him with all his strength.If the fight continues like this, if the old injury becomes a new injury, the root cause of the disease will fall again.

After several rounds, Qilie finally restrained Bai Zezhi.

Bai Zezhi's eyes were burning and he stared at Qi Lie.

"If you don't cherish yourself like this again, I will confirm your status as a pamper!" Qi Lie said, looking at Bai Zezhi who was trapped in his arms.

Bai Zezhi turned his head away, avoiding Qi Lie's direct gaze.

"Okay, if you don't like Lixian Palace and Cheng'en Palace, you can live outside the palace." Qi Lie thought for a while and said.

Bai Zezhi looked at Qilie again, trying to distinguish the truth from what he said.Seeing that Qilie's appearance didn't look like a fake, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.If he could get out, he would be more sure of escaping.

"So it's decided." Looking at Bai Zezhi's slightly relaxed face, Qi Lie made up his mind and dragged Bai Zezhi into the house.

Bai Zezhi immediately blocked Qi Lie from the outside, as if oil and salt were not allowed to enter.

Qi Lie really didn't take that door seriously, no matter how well it was locked, he could get in.However, seeing Bai Zezhi's expression, he took a step back and said, "Okay, you rest."

Qi Lie let go, turned and left, without dragging his feet at all.But he muttered in his mouth: "Why do you look friendly to him and treat me like this? They all look the same."

After hearing this, Bai Zezhi frowned.What does it mean to look the same?
