After he finished speaking, there was a long silence.

Yan Huaiyin was holding the rice paper in his hand, a little numb, listening to his words, he didn't know how to react for a moment.

It was Jiang Lian who spoke, and he said to Li Gui: "The two of us would like to use this place to talk for a while, without delaying too long, is that okay?"

Li Gui quickly said: "Yes, of course."

He and his wife bent over to them and left without suspicion.

The door from the back room was also closed, and there was no one else in the hall except the two of them.

In the silent hall, even the floating dust has quieted down. The unlit lobby is a bit dim, only the snow-white light from the window diffuses in, soft and bright and somewhat dazzling.

Jiang Lian reached out to hold Yan Huaiyin's hand, and led him to a square table.

He sat down on the bench, pulled Yan Huaiyin in front of him, put himself in a low position, looked up at him with gentle eyes.

"Ayan," Jiang Lian stroked his wrist, "Now do you know why I transferred their case from Jingzhaoyi Mansion?"

Yan Huaiyin lowered her head, looked at him with eyes under her long eyelashes, and gave a low hum for a long time.

He then said sullenly: "I'm a little annoying you now."

The most secret concern in his heart was opened up by Jiang Lian in this way, Yan Huaiyin subconsciously wanted to shrink up and run away, but because Jiang Lian was special to him, he forced himself to put this bloody chest tremblingly in front of him .

"I'll bother you later," Jiang Lian slowly pulled the statue out of Yan Huaiyin's clenched fingers and put it on the table next to him, he said softly, "We Ayan don't want to talk, just me. "

Jiang Lian's voice was slow, with a soothing force: "Go to Liu Qingyun's house and wake up the maid on purpose, because you are not sure whether Liu Qingyun is a temptation, as Chen Ying said. You pass the temptation to Liu Qingyun. Qingyun, within two days, Chen Ying disappeared, this is Liu Qingyun's counterattack."

"He was able to make Chen Ying disappear in such a short period of time, which is enough to show his means. He was in the imperial capital when he became an official, and he has never been released outside for decades. Thunder's means is the degree of control over Chaohua City. You can say that he can't do it." It will be another Nanyang Marquis Mansion in ten years, Ayan, he is already another Nanyang Marquis Mansion."

Yan Huaiyin looked at him.

Jiang Lian held his hand, opened his fingers little by little, and let himself intertwine with his fingers: "You have already noticed it, right?"

"So you asked your sister to find the tiger talisman of the old northwestern army, just to find a reason to send her out. If the emperor is in chaos by then, she is far away in the northern border, so she can choose whatever she wants. Even the queen's retreat in the palace you I've also thought about it, if you don't get close to her after you return to the imperial capital, it's best to have nothing to do with it, but when you sorted out your thoughts, who did you write the word "death" on the paper for?In the entire Chaohua City, who do you care about who needs to use such a risky method as death escape to escape? "

"You have thought about everyone's retreat. The Heyu Army sent them home, and even brought Huo Yunping back to the General's Mansion. You sent Liu Changqing and Qi Yu to the south. Yan Huaiyin, you are on your own. You are going to come again Does it look bloody from being shot by arrows in the suburbs? You lose half of your life to Liu Qingyun, and then, do you want to break into the palace by yourself, kill Qi Xuanchang for revenge, and throw the remaining half of your life in the palace? inside."

Jiang Lian's voice was neither slow nor fast, he only clasped Yan Huaiyin's hand and looked at him, his voice was very soft, scattered in this silent floating light: "Ayan, tell me, what is the way out for me? You Where are you going to send me?"

After a long period of silence, Yan Huaiyin took a step forward, and the hems of their clothes were touching. He reached out to hook Jiang Lian's sleeve, and a small piece of Jiang Lian's sleeve crumpled under his curled fingertips. , Yan Huaiyin whispered: "I won't send you away."

Lowering her eyes, Yan Huaiyin repeated after a while: "I won't send you away."

Jiang Lian was taken aback by his gaze.

He put his hands around Yan Huaiyin's waist, supported his waist and put a belt around his arms, the waist in his palm was thin and flexible, Jiang Lian measured its shocking thinness.

"Now you know how to look at me like that?" Jiang Lian stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, blocking Yan Huaiyin's gaze before continuing, "Outsiders say I'm black-hearted and cold-hearted. I can’t say anything harsh anymore.”

Yan Huaiyin blinked in his palm, his eyelashes tickled slightly in his palm, and he said warmly, "Jiang Lian, you make me so hot."

Jiang Lian was helpless towards him.

He had no choice but to put down his hands and watched Yan Huaiyin continue to force himself to harden his heart: "I know what you are afraid of. When you were young, you wanted to pull up the big thorn in the afterglow, but the building will fall, and when the big thorn falls, you will die Now that you are back, after eight years, Daqi seems to be slowly developing in a good direction, so you decided to eradicate the remnants of the old dynasty first, and the first thing is to get rid of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion."

"This is the trouble left over from when you were the prince in the past, so you solved it yourself. Besides, you went to get close to Qi Zan because you hoped that after you killed Qi Xuanchang, Da Qi wouldn't even have a decent prince. None. Qi Xuanchang has a simple temperament, but he is not stupid. He is not a bad person at all. If he has loyal ministers to assist him, he can be an emperor with no merits, so you chose him."

"And this loyal minister, you thought it would be Liu Qingyun." Jiang Lian said softly, "But all of this will no longer be the moment you meet Chen Ying."

"What are we, Ayan, afraid of?" Jiang Lian looked at him, "I am afraid that you are already dead. If your identity is revealed, what will the world think of you? Emperor Chengde is cruel, but Daqi has reluctantly Take a steady step, once your identity is revealed, if you want to survive, you must fight, and if you fight together, the people will live in dire straits."

"In addition to the recent incidents in the Turks, there are no high-level generals in the DPRK and China. With external aggression and internal troubles, how much can Daqi support? How much can the common people support? So since the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, every step you take is getting better and better. Be careful."

"But how difficult it is to expose Liu Qingyun, how could you not know."

Yan Huaiyin bent down slightly, he stretched out his hand to pinch Jiang Lian's cheek, and said viciously, "It's too much for you to peek at me writing!"

Jiang Lian also reached out to pull his cheek. His skin was thin, and it turned slightly red when he pinched it.He said helplessly, "Don't change the subject for me."

The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and Yan Huaiyin was the first to withdraw her hand.

Jiang Lian understood everything about him, he couldn't avoid it, and he didn't want to avoid it.

"But what you want to kill is the emperor, and what you are fighting against is the entire royal family of Daqi, Ayan, this is something you have to risk your life to do." Jiang Lian grabbed his hand again, "You want to solve it yourself, so Arrange for everyone to go first."

"Huo Yunping was a child personally selected by his father, the mighty general Huo Ji. He was the most famous general in Dajing when Emperor Ming Sheng was young. The Huo family was loyal and the old lady Huo's three sons all died on the battlefield. Huo Ji's two older brothers had no children. When it was his turn to take the lead, he picked up an orphan among the children of soldiers who died in battle, named him Huo Yunping, and taught him to raise him until he died. Huo Yunping was born to be a general, and his ambition is also In this way, now trapped in the general's mansion as an idle son, this is not his way out."

"The same is true for the Crane Feather Army."

"The common people are even more so. Daqi was born with tooth decay, and the damage of tooth decay did not show up for seven or eight years, and it did not show up for ten or 11 years. But when the building collapses again in 20 or 30 years, how many people will be killed? "

Jiang Lian's eyes were like the surface of a lake blown away by the wind, leading Yan Huaiyin to fall towards him: "Ayan, if you are a wicked person, and you leave the old Northwest, the sky is high and the earth is far away, you can go wherever you want. He Yan Xiuqing and the empress in the palace are just your shackles, once you throw away the shackles, no one can trap you anymore."

"But you chose to come," Jiang Lian reached out to touch his cheek. "The moment you choose to come, you have no other choice. You are willing to turn the shackles into a responsibility, even if it weighs a lot and weighs you down." Can't breathe."

After a long time, Yan Huaiyin tilted his head and looked at him: "What about you?"

Jiang Lian raised the hand intertwined with his fingers between the two of them: "I will not be your responsibility, I will be the one to protect you from the rain in the storm."

He wants to be the one next to Yan Huaiyin who will never betray, and watch him split the long night to get what he wants, the river is clear and the sea is clean, the world is unified.

Jiang Lian knew that he had listened, so he pinched Yan Huaiyin's face: "Now you can bother me."

"Hit and scold." He didn't laugh often, but when he laughed, it melted like ice and snow, coaxing Yan Huaiyin in a slow voice, "As long as I can vent my anger, I won't fight back."

Yan Huaiyin said, "Then you stand up first."

Jiang Lian stood up after listening to his words. He had just stood firm, but the next moment, his arms fell into a mass of softness.

He was too tall, when Yan Huaiyin hugged him, he had to stand on tiptoe to throw himself into his arms.With both arms around Jiang Lian's neck, Yan Huaiyin raised his chin, like a small animal, rubbing his cheek against Jiang Lian's neck.

Jiang Lian caught him firmly and locked him in his arms.His heart softened after being rubbed, and he pressed him into his arms again: "Don't bother me anymore?"

"I won't bother you anymore," Yan Huaiyin said, "I love you."

The last two words were spoken low and softly, but they rang in Jiang Lian's ears like thunder, and he was unable to react for a long time.

Yan Huaiyin raised her head slightly in his arms, and looked at him with bent eyes.He seemed confused, so he called out his name word by word: "Jiang Lian, you should say that you love me too, because I love you so much..."

Jiang Lian leaned over and swallowed all the words he didn't say next.

Yan Huaiyin is always like this, every time there is no seduction, he hides his innocence, he knows everything, so he has to ask this.Jiang Lian felt that the corners of his eyes and brows were full of squeamishness, and he knew that this squeamishness was the result of his pampering and pampering.

He pampered Yan Huaiyin, and this realization made Jiang Lian happy, that's how it should be, more delicate.

This pampering belongs to Jiang Lian, and it only blooms in Jiang Lian's arms.Jiang Lian put the hood of the cloak on Yan Huaiyin's head, and hid him tightly in his arms without revealing anything.

He didn't allow anyone to pry into this pampering, not even the sunlight coming in from the window.

Yan Huaiyin was stuffed in the darkness of the hood, raised his head and kissed him, like a candy in his mouth, in the airtight air, the dizziness caused by being violated between his words made the corners of his eyes red, and he noticed in a trance Jiang Lian's fingers were pressing at the end of his eyes.

Clutching Jiang Lian's sleeve, Yan Huaiyin subconsciously relied on it in her ignorance, and then sent herself more and more into Jiang Lian's palm.

This pleased Jiang Lian very well, and he pressed the corners of Yan Huai's eyes that were filled with tears.

Silent tribute.

-

They did not inform Li Gui and his wife again, but put down two ingots of silver and left quietly.

Pushing open the door of the shop, I saw snow starting to snow again in the sky.

The snow on the street last night hadn't been shoveled yet, and today it snowed heavily again. The people who shoveled the snow simply hid, waiting for God to finish the snow first.

"Yike predicts that the farming will be good, and the snow will not disappear in three winters." Yan Huaiyin stood under the eaves and watched the strong wind blowing the snow. Worrying."

There were very few people on the street, but it was very difficult for them to walk in the calf-deep snow. When they looked around, they saw many men carrying women on their backs, or young people carrying old people on their backs, rushing home in the snowstorm. Go, occasionally sporadic laughter.

Heavy snow is not as annoying as heavy rain, and watching it always makes people happy.

Yan Huaiyin looked away from the heavy snow, went to look for Jiang Lian, and saw Jiang Lian squatting down in front of him.

He instantly understood Jiang Lian's intentions.

Yan Huaiyin put on the veiled hat, lay on his back, and was immediately picked up by Jiang Lian.

Jiang Lian walked into the wind and snow, weighed the weight of the person on his body, and sighed, "When will I grow some flesh?"

Yan Huaiyin ignored him, he focused on supporting the veil with both hands, to see if he could cover Jiang Lian, and asked, "Do you know why there are so many men behind their backs on the road?"

"Because this is the custom of Chaohua City," Yan Huaiyin answered him himself. He shook his head and shook off the snow falling from the veil. "In the heavy snow, the husband carries his wife home all the way, and the days to come will be smooth."

What the people want is to live a smooth life.

"Well," Jiang Lian answered him, "We'll be fine in the future."

Yan Huaiyin brushed off the snow from his hair, covered his eyes with a smile when he heard this, and asked softly in his ear: "Am I your wife?"

"My family is strict," he brushed his lips against Jiang Lian's ear, and said in a low voice, "I will become your wife if you are so nameless, I'm so afraid that you will always abandon me in the future."

Jiang Lian's eyes were covered. Fortunately, there were few pedestrians on the road, so he still walked steadily.

In the wind and snow, Yan Huaiyin forced a fire in his ears, and the voice that led him to answer was deep and deep: "I know the little lady is precious, but for more than a year, I have been talking to you on the back wall of your house every day and night. You meet, such a heart, the little lady still doesn't understand?"

"Of course I understand this." The soft fingertips let go of their eyes, touched down on the Adam's apple, and pressed lightly, "If it weren't for Mr. Lang, how could I commit myself to you behind my parents' back and would like to be with you?" Sleep together..."

What he didn't say next turned into an exclamation.

Jiang Lian shook slightly, and Yan Huaiyin fell off on his shoulders. Before he could react, the world spun, and then, he and Jiang Lian fell into the thick snow next to him.

Jiang Lian was at the bottom, and he fell on Jiang Lian.

Everything was in chaos, the snow in the sky was scattered, the thick snow underground was also smashed into chaos, the wind was also in chaos, and the clothes and black hair were messed up in the deep snow.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, and the snow was thick. The two of them were trapped inside and were blocked. The sky and the earth covered them, and no one noticed.

Yan Huaiyin was supported tightly by Jiang Lian, frowning and wondering: "Why is the sky hanging upside down?"

Jiang Lian smiled and said, "You stupid little lady, I'm the one holding you."

He said so with joy in his eyes.Yan Huaiyin was also delighted by him, feeling so free, so he said: "This gentleman, let go, I want to kiss you."

Jiang Lian loosened his arms, and Ren Yan Huaiyin's breath enveloped him in a dense manner.

The snow fell on them, and the snow didn't care, so no one else cared. They were a pair of wild mandarin ducks buried in the snow, entangled in the wanton world, feeling a little unrestrained sweetness in the confinement.

People are born free, and they should be like auspicious years.

Yan Huaiyin hadn't felt this way for a long time. After getting up from the snow, they bought a green bamboo umbrella at a small stall. It was Jiang Lian who carried him on his back, and Yan Huaiyin held the umbrella for him, wandering around in the city.

They walked through several streets, letting the scenery along the way change from the frozen Xinshui River to layers of pavilions. The heavy snow is over.

When the sky and the earth are white, they are a flat boat sailing in the whiteness, they can come and go freely, and even the long wind can't restrain them.

When passing by a street, Yan Huaiyin said, "Jiang Lian, I want to eat that."

Jiang Lian had long legs, and within a few steps, he stopped in front of this sauced beef shop with his back on his back.

There are no seats in this shop, only a window is opened, and you can see the big pot of beef cooking under the dim candlelight inside, and the smell of fireworks and aniseed ingredients comes out of the window, and it is fragrant in the heavy snow Three or four miles away.

The beef seller was an old couple. Seeing that there was no one at the window, the old lady hurriedly greeted, "How much do you want, sir? Do you want it spicy?"

Jiang Lian said: "My wife wants to eat, so I'll bring him to buy some, you can ask him."

Yan Huaiyin wore a veiled hat and held an umbrella for Jiang Lian, his eyebrows and eyes were covered so that he couldn't see clearly, the old lady could only see clearly the bright moon-like wrist that he showed when he held the umbrella for Jiang Lian.

The old woman stared at the white wrist and asked, "How many taels would you like, my lady? What kind of flavor?"

Yan Huaiyin heard the words and said softly: "Have a half catty, don't be spicy."

His voice was a little hoarse because of Jiang Lian's noise, but he could still tell it was a man's voice.

The old woman was stunned. Behind her, her husband also looked up: "A man?"

Yan Huaiyin raised his umbrella, and the snow fell rustlingly from the green and white umbrella, revealing his eyebrows and eyes.

"It's a young man," the old woman saw his face clearly, she was so old and experienced enough, she just sighed, then turned her head and said to her husband, "You are so beautiful."

No wonder being carried on the back by a tall man, he was so precious that he couldn't bear to touch even a little bit of wind and snow.

Her husband served them some beef, passed it to Yan Huaiyin from the window, and said in a friendly manner: "Our family is a repeat customer. Seeing you meet, are you new here? If it is delicious, the guest officer will come here often. .”

"Okay," Yan Huaiyin took the beef, "My husband and I travel around Daqi on weekdays. We just came down the river from southern Xinjiang. We rented a house here in Fangfang City. We plan to go to Yangzhou in March next year."

He said this, as if the two of them were really wanderers in the rivers and lakes. They happened to pass by Zhaohua City and encountered a winter snow.

"That's right," the old man laughed listening to what they said, "I don't know if the snow has melted in March, and the road will be difficult after the snow melts. The two guests remember to pay attention everywhere."

Jiang Lian was about to leave behind Yan Huaiyin's back. Hearing these words, Yan Huaiyin nodded towards him, showing a gentle smile.

The green and white umbrella swayed, and the wind and snow submerged the two of them in a blink of an eye. They walked together, up and down white, as if they had never been here before.
