Cheng Ping's legacy

In the late spring, it is the sheep and grass that grows.

Qin Pei has lived here for a year, and after the old man left, a dumb old woman came to take care of her, so she didn't have to cook and wash by herself.

He only needs to repeat one thing every day, drive the sheep from the pen to the hills to graze, and then drive to the river to feed water after an hour or two, and then watch them splash and jubilate when they are full. Finally, return home with them at dusk.

The old man came back again, bringing with him an inexplicably familiar person whom he had never seen before.

That person was very handsome, with twin wavy peach blossom eyes, Qin Pei couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then bowed to salute.

"I am only an eighth-rank official, and you are a sixth-rank official, so you don't need to salute me." The man said lightly.

Seeing the faint hostility towards him on his eyebrows, Qin Pei immediately guessed that he had some grudges with Qin Yang, so he whispered, "Your Excellency is my father's old friend?"

The man glanced at him, but did not answer.

Qin Pei took him as his acquiescence, and sighed, "I'm here alone now, and I don't have anything. But before I left, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. I have made some arrangements. You can go to Yongningfang Pei's mansion to find a My lord named Pei Xingzhi, I will entrust all my private property to him, and my lord can take it by himself."

"Young people are arrogant," the man snorted coldly, "Do you think any hatred can be settled with these dumb things?"

Qin Pei was silent, and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency, are you going to take my life?"

"What if I?"

Qin Pei pursed his lips and said nothing, and finally smiled, "Then I have a merciless request..."

The man glanced at him, as if he thought he talked too much nonsense, Qin Pei was not annoyed, took out the purse from his waist, and offered it with both hands, "Please hand over this thing to Pei Xingzhi, let him return it to the original owner, and then help Let me bring a word, and say that Qin Pei has escaped from his shell and is at ease, and has never had anything to do with everyone in Chang'an City, and his friendship has been severed!"

"She is a very good woman..." The man looked at her for a while, but he didn't answer, "Aren't you afraid that he will hate you for what you do? What's more, since I have a private life with you, I must understand your nature, you How can he believe self-destructive words?"

Qin Pei was dumbfounded, "It doesn't matter if he hates me or makes him suspicious, it's better than making him sad."

"It's not a happy face, so what's the difference?" The old man smiled sarcastically, "I also know the identity of that person. He is the most respected and noble person in the Kyushu. This man, you ask yourself, are you also worthy to miss him?"

Qin Pei thought that he had already been ashamed like a puppet, but when he heard what he said, his heart was suffocated again, as if his chest had been ripped open and his heart was dug out.

His figure swayed slightly, his face was pale, the man with peach blossom eyes seemed to be unable to bear it, and he glanced at the old man complainingly.

Qin Pei forced a smile, "It seems that you guys know everything about me, so I have nothing to hide. That's right, with his ninety-five honors, worldly talents, and celestial appearance, I'm full of crimes. It’s really not a good match.”

His complexion was like snow, and his eyes were full of fragments, but he insisted on saying one word at a time, "Now it seems that no matter what your origin is, you will not take my life, but you will not let me be with him. There is a time to see you again... I don't want to argue with you, let alone ask for your mercy, I just want to say, I, Qin Pei, have always been self-aware, and there has never been a match between me and him, I just want to be worthy!"

The two of them were silent for a while, and the old man said slowly after a long while, "If you are allowed to stay here forever and hide from the world, would you be willing?"

Qin Pei smiled wryly, "Is it up to me to choose? You have saved my life, so I will do whatever I want."

"Then you can just wait with peace of mind." The other person said something endlessly, reaching out and brushing a newborn lamb.

So Qin Pei waited here silently for another half a year. It was so long that he almost forgot that he was the head of the criminal department. He had experienced so many treacherous and bloody storms, but he always remembered Chang'an, there are still people waiting for him.

As soon as he reached Wuding River, Xuanyuan Mian, who had closed his eyes and dozed all the way, suddenly opened his eyes, only to feel a tightness in his chest, and there was a sign of relapse of the old disease. Wynn was shocked, and quickly gave him the pill prescribed by the imperial doctor .

"Where is this?" Xuanyuan Mian asked in a low voice.

Yu Lao, who was driving outside the window, said hesitantly, "We have reached the suburbs of Fenzhou, and there are still three miles to see the Wuding River."

Xuanyuan Mian sat up straight, "Do you know where that day was?"

"It's just...just now King Jingxi sent someone to send a message, saying that there is a pasture that the Supreme Emperor has visited here, and he wants to invite His Majesty to go with him. There are also a few local gentry and herdsmen waiting for His Majesty to receive him."

Xuanyuan Mian was full of Qin Pei, and when his heart was full of knots, how could he care about the country gentry and herdsmen?Dang even said coldly, "Reply to the emperor's uncle, just say that I feel a little unwell, I'm afraid I can't accompany you."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching outside the car, and it was King Jingxi and his party who came in person.

"Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and it is very boring to think about it. Today is a bright and refreshing day, don't you want to run on the pasture?"

King Jingxi, however, was growing old and strong, sitting steadily on his green horse in military uniform, and looked over impatiently.

He is highly respected, and he handed over the fiefdom and military power with great care. Now that he has returned to Beijing to be raised, it is not an exaggeration for the court to treat him as an ancestor.

He is so strong, even if Xuanyuan Mian wanted to go to the Wuding River to pay his respects, he couldn't open his mouth, so he could only accompany him with a smile, "Since the emperor's uncle is so interested, I will take it as my companion. It's just that I still have some government affairs to be done, can we Stay here one more day tomorrow?"

King Jingxi remained silent, but Zhou Qi beside him said with a smile, "Things are impermanent, maybe by tonight, His Highness will wish to take wings and return to Chang'an?"

The two of them were extremely resolute about going to the pasture, they were elders after all, Xuanyuan Mian, as the emperor, did not want to disobey, so he had to agree.

A group of people abandoned their carts and galloped towards the vast pasture.Although Xuanyuan Mian didn't follow the rules much, he had never galloped so recklessly and freely between the heavens and the earth. Looking over the past, he could only see hazy haze, white clouds, and occasionally a few flocks of lambs dotted on the green field, which was indescribably refreshing.

"I don't know how the herdsmen's livelihood is now?" Xuanyuan Mian asked suddenly.

Zhou Qi said with a smile, "There has been no war recently, and the weather is good. The border people are naturally rich and healthy."

Xuanyuan Mian nodded, "That's good, I only hope that there will be no wars in my Taiping years, and my family can have surplus food."

"It seems that Your Majesty wants Wenzhi instead of martial arts." Zhou Qi glanced at King Jingxi with a complicated expression.

Xuanyuan Mian smiled faintly, "Father has already eliminated internal and external troubles for me, how incompetent do I have to be to bring the world to war again?"

An accompanying soldier led an old horse to lead the way, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at a felt tent.

There is only this yurt in the empty pasture, and an old woman is making a fire outside the tent to cook.

Xuanyuan Mian looked around, and suddenly turned to look at Zhou Qi, "The emperor's uncle and Zhou Shishu tried every means to lure me here, so it's hard to be the owner of this tent..."

"The lower official only knows that tens of thousands of border people want to see Tianyan in person, and he should be no exception."

Xuanyuan Mian's heart beat like a drum, and he walked in step by step.

As the curtain was raised, a piece of rice paper on the case fluttered to the ground with the wind, and the thin handwriting was the same sentence back and forth, "There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and you don't know if your heart pleases you."

Xuanyuan Mian looked at it for a while, crying and laughing, then got on his horse and galloped away, ignoring King Jingxi and others.

"It still looks like a young man." Zhou Qi said with emotion.
