Xu Shi was used to Yan Huaiyin's frequent reticence, but Jiang Lian was not offended by his words this time.

His emotions have gradually calmed down, but within a few breaths, his eyelashes drooped, covering the emotions in his eyes, and he looked like a pool of stagnant water again.

As if the hysterical person just now wasn't him.

Yan Huaiyin saw all this in his eyes, and only sighed slightly in his heart.

He always felt that this child was like a piece of solid ice. He spent more than half a month beating and beating it, and finally fell out of the way he should be at his age, but now he saw that he had gone back.

But he was leaving soon, and there was no time to do anything else.

Yan Huaiyin let go of the hand that was pinching his wrist, Jiang Lian was free of the shackles, and stood up from the ground the next moment.

The two fell into silence for a while, but the silence didn't last long, and a person came in from the shed.

Li Guisong walked into the shed with his head hooked. The shed was already narrow, and Yan Huaiyin and Jiang Lian were already standing there.He came in at this time, his hands were touching his legs and his legs were twisted like a twist, which still caused the broken shed to squeak and scream.

Li Guisong lowered his head, as if he wanted to salute to Yan Huaiyin, but it was limited by the conditions. After a bit of awkwardness, he held his clothes and said, "My lord, your clothes."

As soon as he said this, Jiang Lian immediately looked at Yan Huaiyin, Yan Huaiyin saw the doubts in his eyes, and smiled: "The poor relative who came to fight Qiufeng, come and call Uncle Li."

Poor relative Li Guisong: "..."

Jiang Lian: "..."

"It didn't come all the way to find me," Yan Huaiyin seemed to think it wasn't enough, and reached out to take the clothes, with a smile in his tone, "I only brought me one piece of clothes."

Li Guisong felt that if he continued to stay in this shed, he would have to return to his hometown, so he hurriedly said, I'll go out first, and escaped from the shed like a dog chasing after his ass.

In the blink of an eye, only Yan Huaiyin and Jiang Lian were left in the shed.

Yan Huaiyin hooked his head to adjust his clothes. After a while, he found that Jiang Lian was still standing in front of him. He raised his head: "Aren't you going out? Do you want me to throw you down again?"

Only then did Jiang Lian blink as if waking up from a dream.

He looked at Yan Huaiyin, and suddenly found that the person in front of him was covered in water vapor, and was still wearing the blood-stained clothes.

Even his hair was wet, and the wet hair was messily stuck to the side of the plain white neck.

At this moment when he raised his head, the water droplets that had been hanging on the strand of wet hair at his temples fell rustlingly, the water droplets passed through the soft earlobes, fell down his chin, and splashed onto the clothes in the loose skirt. on the collarbone.

Obviously no sound was made, but Jiang Lian still seemed to hear the sound of water splashing.

He turned his head abruptly and walked out of the shed without saying a word.

When Yan Huaiyin tidied herself up and came out again, the outside of the shed was clearly divided into three forces.

Xu Zhi and Yan Xiuqing squatted on the south side, stretched out their heads furtively to see Li Guisong standing upright on the north side, while Jiang Lian stood alone ten steps away from them.

When they saw Yan Huaiyin coming out, they all looked at him.

Li Guisong was the first to bear the brunt, stepped forward two steps and lowered his head, saying: "My lord, there is no wind or rain tonight."

Yan Huaiyin was not the only one who came to pick up Yan Huaiyin from the old northwestern department, there was also a small group of soldiers waiting in the peach forest ten miles away.The new emperor's throne is becoming more and more stable, and if he stays outside Zhaohua City for one more day, the possibility of being exposed will increase.

He said that there is no wind and no rain, just to urge the little prince to leave tonight.

Yan Huaiyin smiled and said, "No rush."

"Don't worry about anything else," Li Guisong said immediately after hearing the meaning of his words, "but the illness can't be delayed."

This is threatening him with Yan Xiuqing's illness.

Yan Huaiyin's eyes lightly fell on Li Guisong.

Lieutenant General Li was startled, and only then remembered the role of the little prince in front of him. His eyebrows were so raised that they almost touched his nose: "My lord, that's not what I meant..."

"Uncle Li can't do anything else," Yan Huaiyin stretched out his arms to hug his younger sister who was running towards him, and passed Li Guisong, "You have a very sharp mouth."

Li Guisong knew that he had said something wrong, so he walked away from Yan Huaiyin tremblingly, but Xu Zhi leaned closer, his eyes bent, his face full of confidence: "Brother Zhen, isn't he your relative?"

It was evening at this time, and the sky was full of pink and purple rays of light. The two of them stood outside the Nanqiu Gate. The Nanqiu Gate had resumed normal opening and closing the day before. At this time, the city gate was wide open, and the main street inside the gate could be vaguely seen. look.

Xu Zhi made a final decision: "He is here to pick you up."

On weekdays, he looks like a run-down scholar who is stupid in reading, but sometimes he sees things a bit sharply.

Yan Huaiyin glanced at him with a half-smile, "Brother Xu is so smart, but he only has the name of Gongsheng. It's really a pity."

Xu Zhi was immediately overjoyed by these words, he lifted his chin proudly, and moved closer to Yan Huaiyin: "Brother Zhen, what did you think about what I told you last time?"

"Since Brother Xu is so smart, why don't you see when I plan to leave Chaohua City?" Yan Huaiyin carefully scanned the notice posted on the side of Nanqiu Gate, turned around and prepared to go back, "Brother Xu guessed right, I will Consider what you said."

He turned around and was about to leave, Xu Zhi hurriedly followed him and said happily, "What's so difficult about it, it's just these two days."

But for two full days, Yan Huaiyin didn't seem to want to leave.

The new emperor came to the throne, although he killed some people from the old dynasty and accepted more than a dozen concubines in just half a month, but fortunately he was not blind and did not touch a single hair of Liu Qingyun.

Liu Xiang also confirmed that he is very useful when he is in his prime, but more than half a month, most of the refugees outside the city have been properly housed, mainly the old, weak, sick and disabled.

The originally crowded group of refugees gradually began to become empty.

On the third day, before dawn, Yan Huaiyin called Jiang Lian up.

He bowed his head and smiled and said, "Follow me into the city to buy some things."

After Jiang Lian followed him into Nanqiu Gate, he realized that what he called entering the city was Chaohua City, the imperial capital.

Nowadays, refugees need to register their names when they enter the city. Perhaps it is because the new emperor has killed more than half of the civil servants, and no one has done much research recently.The garrison leaned against the city gate as if they had no bones, with the aura that I dare to write on paper whatever you say.

It was cheaper for Yan Huaiyin and the other two.

The person who registered them was a small garrison soldier, with a cheerful look, he asked Yan Huaiyin with a pen, "Name?"

Yan Huaiyin smiled and said, "I can't do it."

After the little man finished writing the three characters, he turned to Jiang Lian and asked, "What's your name?"

Jiang Lian stared at the crooked writing on the paper, unable to discern the three words, which were not very pretty. After a moment of silence, he replied, "Jade."

"Come on," the little man wrote the word "Jia De" next to Zhen Bu, then looked up at Yan Huaiyin again, "I forgot to ask, where is your hometown? That's what I have to say."

Yan Huaiyin lowered her eyes and said softly, "Ningzhou."

The empress of the old dynasty was born in the Yan family of Ningzhou, but in the 25th year of Chongyuan, the Yan family was ordered by Emperor Ming Sheng to confiscate the house and slaughter the house. After more than ten years, gradually few people have heard of the name of the Yan family in Ningzhou.

"What about you?" After picking up a pen and writing Ningzhou, the little defender looked at Jiang Lian happily.

"Ningzhou."

"Yeah, both of you are from Ningzhou," before the two said anything, the little garrison soldier said with a smile on his face, "You're fellow villagers, no wonder you went to the city together."

Yan Huaiyin also glanced at Jiang Lian, seeing that his head was lowered, making it hard to see his expression.

"You can go in now. Today is the day for recruiting soldiers. Just don't go to the Royal Street to disturb the work." He memorized the names of the day here, and it was rare to meet two people with such interesting names and fellow villagers, so he asked them a lot. said a word.

Yan Huaiyin led Jiang Lian into Chaohua City following today's exceptionally large crowd.

There were many refugees outside Zhaohua City, and walking on Anping Street, the main road in the city, was a bit cold, but it was clean and tidy.

The refugees entering the city and the common people in the city can be distinguished at a glance, forming two distinct torrents.

And Yan Huaiyin took Jiang Lian for a walk along Anping Street.

He bought a lot of things along the way, and he looked really serious about shopping.

Jiang Lian followed him like a tight bow.

From the moment he was woken up by Yan Huaiyin, he vaguely knew what would happen today.

It stands to reason that he has been in Chaohua City for such a long time, and has experienced countless partings. This time, it was just a half-month reunion.

But Jiang Lian couldn't stop feeling empty in his heart. A 12-year-old child rarely faced this rare state of mind, and could only helplessly wait for the coming ending.

Until the two of them crossed a rainbow bridge and came to the widest royal street in Chaohua City.

The imperial street was busy, and there were two lanes in the middle, one long and one short. The long line was a recruiting line, and most of the lines were strong refugees.

And the other line next to it looked much colder, with only a dozen scattered people lined up, and they were all thin and weak children.

At the very beginning of the line was a man with a gloomy face and wearing a scarlet gown with round neck and narrow sleeves, with two long whisks lying in his arms.

To recruit eunuchs.

The people around avoided this like snakes and scorpions, wishing to dirty their eyes with a single glance.

And behind him is the Phoenix Tower at the main entrance of the imperial palace, with red lacquer and gold nails on the five-entry gate, and dragon and phoenix paintings carved on the beams raised high, reflecting the golden light of the morning sun on the glazed tiles.

It's hard to stop looking up.

Yan Huaiyin handed all the things she bought to Jiang Lian and said, "You take it first, I'll do something."

He thought for a while, and added: "I'll be back in a while."

Jiang Lian didn't take his things.

He looked up at Yan Huaiyin, his eyes were so dark that they seemed to be able to swallow even light.

On the vast imperial street, there is not even a trace of wind, only pretending to know it well.

Seeing that Jiang Lian didn't answer, Yan Huaiyin finally sighed slightly.

He put the things in his hand at his feet, stretched out his hand to support Jiang Lian's shoulder, and gently turned to the north.

The recruiting line was very long, and the two were very close. At this time, Jiang Lian was pushed over by Yan Huaiyin's shoulders. Looking at him roughly, it seemed that he was at the end of the line.

Yan Huaiyin stood behind him, holding Jiang Lian's shoulders with both hands. Jiang Lian was lower than him, so he bent down a little.

It was like holding the child under his hands in his arms.

"The name is fake, and the poison is fake," the young man said in a clear and shallow voice, "I read the notice posted on the gate of the city. The place to recruit soldiers this time is Nanchui Border Pass. Border Pass is a good place. You have hatred in your heart. It is a good place to be successful and famous, and it is convenient to take revenge."

He wanted to say that the place I went to was not very good, so I won't harm you.But the young man paused, but didn't say the words.

This sentence was said by him with a sigh, and it entered Jiang Lian's ears very lightly: "Think of me as you like."

The next moment Jiang Lian felt the hand holding his shoulder move.

His jaw was opened, and then there was something extra in his mouth, and there was a sweetness on the tip of his tongue.

"This time it's real jelly beans, let's go."

His shoulders were lightly pushed, and the aura surrounding him disappeared without a trace.

After a long time, after all the sweetness on the tip of his tongue had disappeared, Jiang Lian moved slightly, and he lowered his head, only a burden was at his feet.

Inside are some clothes, some taels of silver, some food and ointment...

The young man who bought him, Xu Shi, didn't know what to prepare for joining the army, so he bought some in a mess, put them in a package at will, and left all of them to Jiang Lian.

He stood there looking at the package without moving for a long time, letting the team in front get further and further away from him.After a long time, the men behind him all started to curse: "Mother, can you go away, or go away!"

The man scolded a lot, but the person in front of him was still motionless, so he became more and more impatient. When he was about to go around to see what was wrong with this guy, he saw the child in front of him turn around.

A pair of pitch-black eyes, a lifeless gaze, and the deepest anger seemed to be frozen in ice.

The man was caught by this cold gaze, and was speechless for a while.

When he came to his senses, he saw the child in front of him leaving the recruiting team with a package and walking towards another line with fewer people.

Yan Huaiyin didn't know about this, when he returned to the shed, the sky was not even bright.

And Yan Xiuqing and Li Guisong were ready, waiting for Yan Huaiyin outside the shed.

Seeing Yan Huaiyin approaching, Li Guisong hurriedly said, "My lord, it's ready, let's go."

Yan Huaiyin nodded: "Okay."

Although he said so, he stood still beside a bush not far from the shed.He bent down to pick up a stone and threw it into the bushes, only to hear two exclamations.

Immediately afterwards, the faces of Xu Zhi and Zhang Dongfeng appeared from behind.

Xu Zhi's face was pale from the cold, and he pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly for a long time, before he could barely pull out a smile that he couldn't bear to look directly at: "Brother Zhen, I guess you are leaving now."

He said that Yan Huaiyin would leave for the past two days, but he was not sure, but he lived in Yan Huaiyin's shed for two days and two nights.

If you have some attachments, you don’t need to be in the right place.

Yan Huaiyin looked at the two faces in front of him, sighed, tilted his head and said to Li Guisong, "Take the two of them."

Li Guisong thought for a moment, bowed his head and said: "The carriage is enough to carry Mr. Xu and two people."

The Heyu army was already under the control of the general, and adding these two trashes would not change the fact that the little prince was placed under house arrest after he passed.

Seeing that everything was settled, Yan Huaiyin said, "Let's go."

Several people walked to the peach forest ten miles away, Yan Xiuqing was held in Yan Huaiyin's arms, and after a while, as if realizing it, she lay in Yan Huaiyin's ear and asked, "Brother, where's Brother Jia?"

Yan Huaiyin paused, and patted her head for a long time.

"Just pretend he never came."
