Tide beat empty city

Zhan Zhao rode on the horse, holding three small flower pots tied with silk ropes with one elbow.The boy watched for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Zhao, are you tired?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and smiled.What is this, the weight is negligible.

The boy asked again: "If you encounter robbers, how do you fight them with them?"

Zhan Zhao replied, "Put it aside first, then pick it up after beating."

The young man argued with him: "What if the robber stepped on them on purpose? What if he stepped on them accidentally?" Before he could say a countermeasure, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me, put it in the car."

Zhan Zhao looked at him and retracted his elbows.

The boy almost laughed out loud.Blinking and saying, "Afraid that I will abuse them? I'm not that naive."

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and looked at the clear shadow on the ground.The sun is getting stronger and stronger.He passed the pot over.

The young man took it in his hand and smiled: "It's possible that I fell asleep and accidentally crushed it." Seeing his eyes widen, he quickly said: "If you don't worry, come in together. Wouldn't it be good to keep an eye on yourself?" In the carriage, place the flowerpots one by one by your feet.

Snow-white porcelain, the dark flowers of flounder are slightly raised, moist like jade.A pair of handsome figures floated in front of his eyes.

However, the boy laughed silently.It will be me with you to see it come to fruition.just me.

Traveling to late autumn, the mountains and rivers are still green.In the drizzle, the boy took out the small flower pot to drink water, and said to Zhan Zhao lying on the window edge, "Zhao, they have grown up. The small flower pot can't hold it anymore."

Little things grow so fast.Warmth flowed all over his body, Zhan Zhaoyao smiled and said, "We're almost in Chenzhou. Go to the city and buy some big ones."

The young man looked at him eagerly: "Then, can you give me the little flowerpot? It's useless for you to keep it."

Zhan Zhao smiled, you could be useful.Looking at him, he sighed: "Your Majesty wears fine clothes and rich food, and Zhanmou's few crude things are unbearable to enter the house."

The boy pursed his mouth: "I just don't want to give it. Zhao, you were not so stingy before."

Zhan Zhao shook his head lightly: "Since you already know, why should you be persistent."

The young man's face turned red and then pale, and he lowered his head and smiled lightly for a while: "Why are you persistent again. Zhao, don't forget that you taught me persistence."

Zhan Zhao was stunned.When I looked again, the boy had already hidden his face behind the scenes.

Along the way, local officials called and responded, and the residence reported early that the envoys from South Vietnam had arrived in Chenzhou and were waiting for Wang Jia.When they entered the city for a meeting, the envoys paid respects and said, "The prince always thought of the young master when he was alive. Who would have thought that there would be no holidays, so he would never have the chance to see this side..." After he kowtowed and wiped away his tears, Yongnian asked, "Your name is Yu Yang? Do you recognize Yu Ze?"

Yu Yang raised his head, with tears on his face: "Xiaozhi and him are brothers of the same clan."

Yongnian asked again: "Then you... are all father's servants?"

Yu Yang bowed again: "Yes. The low-ranking family was originally a domestic slave. Thanks to the grace of the old prince, he was freed from slavery since his ancestors, and many of his children became officials. The prince's kindness to the family is so humble that it is difficult to repay it."

Yongnian approached and stroked his sleeve, sighed: "Yu Ze has served me since childhood, and Yongnian has always called you uncle. From now on, I will also call you uncle, how about it?"

Yu Yang was so startled that he knelt down again: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, how can this be? I would never dare to take a humble position."

Yongnian shook his head: "What can't be done. You are willing to call me young master, but I know that Nanyue people only think that I am an illegitimate child of unknown origin. Not to mention the royal power, even this life, I am afraid that I can't help it now call the shots."

Yu Yang was so frightened that he fell to the ground and dared not say a word.Yongnian helped him up, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just a private name. How many people are staring at you, dare you not be cautious in your words and deeds." He took him to Zhan Zhao, looked at the latter: "Do you want to kiss, don't you?" My son, there is nothing rare in the world; I am not bothered. There is only today in the eternal year, I wish to remember it and never forget it."

After Yu Yang went out, Yongnian asked Zhan Zhao, "Why didn't you say anything in the hall? Besides, the imperial court sent King Qin here."

Zhan Zhao was silent for a long while, then shook his head: "Zhan is a warrior, and he is clumsy with words. What's more, the prince's performance before, doesn't need anyone to intervene."

Yongnian fell back on the chair and said dejectedly: "Zhao, when will you stop being angry and don't think that I deceived you. You also know that there are no relatives of mine here."

Zhan Zhao still shook his head: "My lord, be careful with your words. Zhan is following an order, so how dare you say he was deceived." After a pause, he continued: "My dear, the lord didn't find it right away. There will be second and third ones in the future. "

No one of them can compare to you.Yongnian was a little bit aggrieved: "Just now I just tried desperately, the result is good or bad, there is no way to be sure. Maybe I will kill him in my sleep tonight." Close to him, let the familiar smell surround him: "But with you, it is I'm not afraid to die."

Then let them kill them, and what else can they win over.Zhan Zhao said something in his heart, and walked out.

Yongnian quickly caught up and followed.Zhan Zhao stopped and looked at him with complicated emotions.

Yongnian raised a smiling face: "You and I will go buy flower pots."

One step into the unpredictable situation, each has a few faces.Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes and inhaled.I can't go back to the time I used to get along in the mountains.

Zhan Zhao twisted the sand on his fingertips, crushed it meticulously, and spread it on the bottom of the basin in layers.Turning sideways, he picked up the basin full of roots and put it in gently, with his mouth tightly pursed and his expression focused.

His eyes were smiling, and Ye Hei's eyes were moist.Like a spring deep to the root, let the whole world, if you can't follow it to the source, it will be extinguished and disturbed.

Like a lonely person walking into the harsh desert, his scorched eyes stubbornly lock on to that ethereal oasis that cannot be reached.Heart and footsteps, whoever decides whose perseverance is more nihilistic.

"Zhao." Yongnian stopped staring and called him softly.

Zhan Zhao turned his head to face him, the hand holding the sword rested in the air, his posture was gentle.

Yongnian lowered his head, sorrow and sorrow flooded his eyes: "If it's so easy to make you happy, why don't you go back to the mountains with me." Forget about the desert, I would like to plant an entire oasis for you.

"No matter how simple happiness is, others can't give it to you." Zhan Zhao shook his head and continued with the busy work in his hands: "Wherever you go back, the result will be the same."

"It's the same if you're in Tokyo or not?" Yongnian raised the corners of his lips and asked him, a little unwillingly.

Zhan Zhao finally straightened Ye Zi, took two steps back and looked at it for a long time, then raised his head and said calmly, "Yes. That's true."

Yongnian threw himself into his arms.Unpredictable, Blinking Flash hastily stretched out his hand to hug him firmly, and the young man's soft lips were already pressed against his chin.

Shocked, Zhan Zhao pushed his shoulder, unconsciously exerting a third of his internal strength.

Yongnian staggered and sat down, a thread of blood dripped from the corner of his lips.He coughed twice and laughed in a low voice: "It's different this way. Isn't it, Zhao?" Panting a few times, he barely stood up on his hands and stared at Zhan Zhao: "I will grow taller, next time it will be enough .” After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but the soles of his feet slanted, leaning on the table and slowly softening.

After waking up and looking out the window, he said to Zhan Zhao who was sitting on the edge of the couch: "What time is it, you still haven't eaten. I'm fine, I can't die."

Zhan Zhao said nothing, stretched out his hand to help him get up and feed him the medicine.Yongnian followed him with his eyes, and joked: "Am I sick or are you sick? Your complexion is almost as dead as a person's." Holding his breath, he downed a bowl, frowned and said, "Blame me for not being good at learning, you don't have to feel guilty."

Zhan Zhao twitched his arms and stood up, causing him to fall back on the bed, grinning grinningly.Avoid the serious and take the light, the beating is because of not being good at learning skills, or because of impure intentions.He couldn't ask, and just said flatly: "The teaching is not fruitful, it's the teacher's fault. I'm ashamed that Zhan even tried to make you read wisely back then."

Yongnian rubbed the back of his head and chuckled.Regret it?How can you be sad if you don't pay.Close your eyes and say slowly: "If I like you, I'll kiss you. It's unreasonable; if you don't like it, just beat me to death. Don't think about it back and forth, and make yourself angry." Hee hee said again: "It still hurts me, Zhao's heart hurts so much that he can't eat?"

Before finishing listening, Zhan Zhao turned and walked out.He ordered the soldiers to go in and serve him, but he didn't show up at night.When the inside and outside arrangements were made and it was time to sleep, Fang remembered that Yongnian was unconscious in his room during the day and took his couch nearby.I had to find another place to live, and thought about it after going to sleep, I haven't watered the plants tonight.

Not long after he heard a knock on the door, Zhan Zhao sat up and asked, "What's the matter?" He took out his sword as he spoke.

The door of the room was pushed open, and Yongnian came in with three flowerpots in his arms, put them on the table and said to himself: "You can sleep if you don't look at them drinking enough."

Zhan Zhao came over and stood by the table, stroking Xiulu's leaves.He said silently for a while, "Just ask someone to bring it over. Are you recovering from your injury? Why are you running around?"

Yongnian pursed his lips: "Call me, the three grasses have grown so big, have you ever let others touch them? Compared to them, I have never been nothing."

For whatever reason, he was the one who hurt him.Zhan Zhao's eyes softened, and he sighed, "Why do you say that? Does it still hurt?"

Yongnian lowered his head, with a blank expression: "Why doesn't it hurt? You pushed so hard." Turning around and wrapping his waist loosely, he lowered his head and said, "Zhao. Don't leave me so far. Okay."

Zhan Zhao stood there blankly, unable to speak.Xu Jiu said, "I've already come. If I want more, I'm afraid I can't."

Yongnian put his hand on his chest and looked at him innocently: "It hurts so much that I can't sleep here. I want you to talk to me, can't I?"

Yongnian snuggled beside him, and soon fell asleep.In the faint, the outline of the table is blurred, and a little light is reflected from the edge of the leaves of the plants.Zhan Zhao opened his eyes and watched, and woke up until dawn.

Climb over the mountain and enter the ground of Nanyue.Yu Yang followed closely, telling some local customs and customs along the way, which made Yongnian startled and laughing at times.Gradually getting to know each other, one day I stopped to rest, and seeing Yongnian tirelessly moving the flower pots in and out, I asked: "The young master treasures this flower so much, but who gave it to someone so important?"

Yongnian wondered: "Will it really bloom? What does it look like?"

Yu Yang laughed: "It's no wonder the young master doesn't know. This flower is not cold-resistant, and it is rarely planted in the north. The flower blooms in a single piece. Well, according to my humble opinion, the leaves are more eye-catching."

Yongnian glanced at Zhan Zhao, and asked again: "You said that there are few plants in the Northland, so you can't find them in Tokyo? I haven't seen them."

Yu Yang shook his head and said: "I live in South Vietnam with a lowly position, and my knowledge is short; if Bianliang is the capital of the emperor, there must be a collection of rare treasures from all over the world. Naturally, this flower is not a rare treasure, but the climate is different, and it is difficult to survive in Lingbei. The young master has never seen it before." It's also common sense." Seeing Yongnian bowed his head and said nothing, he cupped his hands and said, "The weather in Nanyue is warm, but it is very suitable for planting. This flower-giver is quite thoughtful, so the humble official said that he is important. If there is any speculation, please don't worry about it. blame."

Yongnian laughed and said, "What are you blaming? Uncle Yu is right. This flower is Zhan's guardian. His important person is naturally important to me."

Yu Yang nodded and sighed: "The pattern of the flowers and leaves is like a turtle's back, and the stem is like a bamboo joint, which means to pray for a long life. The young master and Mr. Zhan throwing away their hometown, although it is not like moving a tree and removing its roots, the word for a long life is quite different. It's really important."

Zhan Zhao had been sitting silently for a long time, when he heard this, he suddenly interjected: "The soil and water are suitable, but I have other concerns, and I hope your lord can raise some points."

Yongnian also said afterwards: "Exactly. We are unfamiliar with the world, and if our words and deeds are inappropriate, we can only rely on our uncle to be considerate."

Yu Yang hurriedly bowed his body and saluted: "The young master has a destiny, and he should devote himself to his humble job. It's just that the humble job is in charge of farming and rarely enters the inner court. I'm afraid we won't meet each other in the future; at this time, I have to say a few words, so I want to invite the young master and Mr. Zhan, take care of yourself." When he said that, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled: "Your Excellency, Secretary of Farming? Doesn't Nanyue have a special ceremonial officer for welcoming the driver?"

Yu Yang shook his head: "It's because of Yu Ze that the concubine sent a lowly post here, and it's also a sign of compassion. The young master has just arrived, and in everything... it's better not to disobey."

Zhan Zhao asked: "My lord Yu's words have a deep meaning, is there something hard to say? Why do you talk about disobedience?"

Seeing Yu Yang's hesitation, Yongnian said: "I want to know too. If Uncle Yu has something to say, feel free to say it, and don't avoid Zhan's guards."

Yu Yang hurriedly knelt down: "The young master just needs to hear about the affairs of the inner chamber. The prince and the princess are loving couples, and they have never married each other in their lives. Therefore, the young master's mother and son have been wronged. The humble position is bold, and in front of the princess, please stop the old grudges."

Yongnian thought to himself, just say that his father married a shrew.He said in his mouth: "Uncle Yu is right. Since it is an old grievance, what's the use of thinking about it. For the time being, I can save it." Then he asked the names and powers of officials at all levels in South Vietnam, and then asked: "I heard that I have a sister , what about her?"

Yu Yang was stunned, and said after deliberation: "Princess...youth, beauty, temperament..."

He was still talking, but Yongnian couldn't help but interrupt: "Sister is beautiful, what's the matter with brother? Could it be that the guards are outstanding, and Uncle Yu wants to be a matchmaker with him?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning.Seeing this, Yu Yang hurriedly said: "Young master, don't joke. Why do Mr. Zhan use a humble job as a matchmaker? Besides, the princess is already engaged, so it's hard to say when he will marry far away."

"Marry far away?" Yongnian asked curiously, "Wangfei only has this one daughter, where is she willing to marry?"

Yu Yang said: "Of course I'm not willing to go elsewhere. However, Ma Nai, the concubine's natal family in the future county, is also a great honor to marry."

"So I just came here, but my sister is going to marry Xixia." Yongnian felt regretful, and asked again: "I heard that Xixia is bitterly cold, and my sister grew up in the southern country since childhood. How can she bear it? Is she willing?"

Yu Yang was puzzled: "I don't know about this... I don't know about the lowly position. The wedding was originally scheduled for this spring, but it was postponed repeatedly because of the prince's illness. The princess is now in the filial piety, so..."

Yongnian smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I understand."

Being alone with Zhan Zhao at night, Yongnian asked: "Do you understand the princess's marriage?"

Zhan Zhao said: "It's inconvenient for Zhan to discuss the prince's family affairs."

Yongnian shook his head: "My family matter? Who considers me a family member. If I don't come, I will be married to Nanyue, which is the backyard of Xixia; I am here by chance, who will allow me to sleep soundly next to the couch? So I said, it's better to go back to the mountains .But it's too late."

Zhan Zhao smiled, nodded and said, "You're blaming me. If I had known you were so old-fashioned, I wouldn't have made such a fuss and followed me." Thinking that it would be retaliation now, Zhan dug his own trap.

If you don't follow, why should I come.Yongnian swallowed this sentence back and asked him, "How do you think Yu Yang treats us?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said nothing.Shaking his head for a long time: "Stop talking, let's see."

Yongnian jumped up and said, "I'm going back to my room." When he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "The concubine sent Yu Yang to show her kindness, so she probably won't assassinate me at this time. You can sleep peacefully, don't be tense every night."

Seeing him leave, Zhan Zhao put away his smile and frowned again.

On this day, I entered the palace and paid homage to my father's spiritual throne. The servant sent a message: The princess's jade body is against harmony, and it will inevitably make me sad to see the young master; everyone is tired from a long distance, please sleep tonight, and get enough energy to prepare for the Ming Dynasty ceremony.

Yongnian bowed to answer, and was led into the inner courtyard residence by the guard.Just as he was moving his luggage, he suddenly heard the report that 'the princess is coming'. A group of servants hurriedly gathered in front of the hall and lowered their hands in silence.Yongnian welcomes him out of the hospital, and sees a woman approaching slowly surrounded by servants, she is indeed youthful and beautiful.He walked a few steps forward and saluted: "Yongnian has met my sister. I should have gone to pay my respects first, please forgive my brother for being disrespectful."

The woman stretched out her hand to support her, and said with a smile: "This place is not as polite as in the capital. It's good now, I'm not alone anymore when my younger brother comes home." She took his hand into the room and sat down, carefully looked at him and praised him. Said: "Your mother must be a beauty, she was born so good-looking as my younger brother. It's just that your nose bridge and chin are exactly the same as your father's king. It's a pity he hasn't seen it after thinking about it all these years." After saying that, his eyes turned red, and he lowered his head Drink tea silently.

Yongnian thought for a while, and persuaded: "Sister, don't be sad. Isn't Yongnian back?"

The woman sighed after hearing this: "Although the father didn't say it, I know that he will not forget you for a day." Looking at him, she said: "Otherwise he would not have given you this name."

Yongnian was startled, and murmured: "He took it? I always thought it was my mother..."

The woman shook her head: "I heard from the old lady in the mansion that before giving birth to me, my father took two names at once; he said that in the future the boy will be called Yongnian and the girl will be called Yongning. Yongning will be me, and Yongnian will be you." He held his palm and said softly: "Children never complain about their parents. The father must have a heart to separate from you. Now that the other person has gone, you should not complain in your heart."

Yongnian stared at her in a daze.His difficulty is to have you as your mother who is a noble relative.And my mother, could it be that she was wrong to give birth to Siluo, but to think about Qiao Mu.

Yong Ning stroked his shoulder and asked, "How has my brother been these past few years? Do people around you treat you well?"

Yongnian was determined and smiled: "Yongnian has no worries about food and clothing, and he has not suffered any grievances. Compared with a poor family, it is much better."

Yongning said happily: "Is it true? During the ceremony, tell your father to listen to him, and he will comfort you."

The brothers and sisters talked about the usual things, and Yongnian had time to visit Zhan Zhao until nightfall.After entering the door and inspecting the furnishings of the room, he was quite satisfied, sat down and said, "I saw my sister in the afternoon."

Zhan Zhao stood in front of the bed unpacking his burden, looked back and said with a smile, "No wonder he looks happy. As I said earlier, relatives will always meet."

Yongnian put his hands on the table, his eyes sparkling: "Zhao also met? Who is it?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and smiled, but didn't speak.

Yongnian jumped up to him: "Why are you cleaning up now? I haven't seen you all afternoon, where have you been?"

"Pay a visit to the local government." Zhan Zhao said, and asked him, "How is the princess treating you?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yongnian nodded: "She, she seems to be pretty good. I haven't seen any evil intentions yet."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help shaking his head.Yongnian saw it with his sharp eyes, and he was not convinced: "It is necessary to be on guard against others, do I suspect something is wrong?"

Zhan Zhao stopped his hands and sat back at the table, thought for a long time and said, "It's not wrong. But siblings, I'm afraid that you are too suspicious, and you will inevitably become a lonely family and regret it in the future. What to choose between the two, the prince should do more trade off."

You sit on one side and I take care of the other, it's a trade-off.Yongnian was moved: "Zhao is still willing to teach me and care about me."

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, and said calmly, "I would tell him like this to anyone."
