Thousands of miles with the wind

Zhong Liran let go of the rein, walked to Gu Siyuan's side, and got on the horse neatly.A warm body pressed against his back, making Gu Siyuan subconsciously move forward.Zhong Liran put his hands through her waist and grabbed the rein, and embraced her in his arms.She kicked the horse's belly lightly, and drove the steed under her into the forest with Gu Siyuan.

The further you go, the more lush the branches and leaves become.Fragments of sunlight scattered from the sky above, and scattered spots of brilliance fell in the autumn forest.Zhong Liran hugged the woman in his arms, rode with her on the same horse, and walked into the depths of the forest with fallen leaves all over the ground.The guards kept a certain distance and followed behind, trying to hide their tracks as much as possible.

The maple leaves are reddish, and when you look up, you can see a thin reddish tail of the leaf.As if being swept by the tongue of fire, it flaunts its brilliance in the sun.

Gu Siyuan looked up and saw a maple leaf falling with the wind, his heart trembled slightly.This situation reminded her of the phrase "Maple leaves, Dihua, rustling in autumn".

Seeing that she was silent, Zhong Liran put his arms around her waist and put his chin on her shoulder, and asked softly, "Gu Siyuan, what are you looking at?"

Gu Siyuan came back to his senses, felt the hard armor pressing on his back, and replied, "I'm looking at Maple Leaf."

"Maple Leaf" Zhong Liran raised his eyes, and said, "It's not yet the season of frost maple, the maple has not been dyed red, so there is nothing to see."

"But looking at it, I feel that autumn will be late, and a year has passed." Gu Siyuan said, his words were full of hurting autumn.Zhong Liran knew that although the woman in his arms was casual and unrestrained, at certain moments, she still felt a little too sentimental.

Zhong Liran smiled, "Yes, autumn is almost over, and winter is coming soon. When the snow will cover the entire imperial city, you won't have to go out, sleep until noon every day, and then sit around the stove to warm up wine and eat hot pot. "

She changed the subject, and Gu Siyuan's train of thought followed her.Gu Siyuan nodded, and said yes.Zhong Liran chatted with her about homework, and the two of them took a rare stroll for more than an hour in the forest, and returned to the tent after noon.

Although it was a martial arts exercise, Zhong Liran still had official duties to deal with.When she was dealing with official duties, Gu Siyuan picked up a pen and was writing something aside.Around evening, members of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom who followed the Empress Dowager Li Ran to hunt in another place also came back.

Li Ran joined in the fun with his grandchildren, saying that he had packed a lot of things and came back to invite Zhong Liran to hold a bonfire meeting.Zhong Liran asked, but he heard that the waiters were in charge of preparing the food. Li Ran brought a group of people to play mahjong, and only sent a few jars of wine over, but he himself was not present.

Not long after, Zhong Lihui came back from outside with a group of people.As night fell, a waning moon hung in the sky, and countless stars lit up in the night sky.

Under the vast starry sky, many bright bonfires rose in various corners of this mountain forest.The bonfires in the forest surrounded it, making the camp located in the middle of the forest even brighter and brighter.

Most of the courtiers who came to the Xishan school grounds were very young, and they had a great time under the leadership of Zhong Lihui.The young aristocratic teenagers gathered around the bonfire, imitating barbarians, grilling meat, and drinking alcohol, and when they drank too much, they began to sing while beating the time.

The night wind blew across the grass and disturbed the campfire.Flying sparks crackled in the wind, the young general drank a jug of wine, and under the instigation of the people around him, he pulled out the sword at his waist and drew an extremely beautiful sword flower, and said loudly to the night sky

"When is this evening, when the boat flows eastward"

"When will you be in the same boat with the prince today?"

The voice of the general attracted the attention of the young nobles around them. The young people who were not far from their bonfire turned around and saw the young general dancing with swords.

It was a woman, wearing the golden armor of the golden robe guard, and the flames danced on her beautiful armor, refracting the crimson flames on her face, dyeing the originally handsome face with an indescribable sharpness.

Behind her, the guards in golden robes beat time and said to the place where the civil servants were, "We must be in the same boat with the prince"

The sensible teenagers recognized the sword-wielding woman, who was Du Jianyue, the vice-commander of the golden-robed guards at Ximen.They followed the direction of the sword flower and saw Mr. Liang Xia who was dressed in a green shirt with a fairy-like demeanor, and instantly understood what was going on.

Seeing this, the good-natured teenagers sang in unison with the Lord Jinpaowei next door, "I am ashamed to be shamed by the good ones, and I am so upset that I know the prince"

They sang together, the confusion tonight is not only because of meeting you, but because of the joy in my heart.why rejoice

It's all because "there are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and the heart is pleasing to the king, but the king doesn't know it."

The teenagers sang loudly with the girl over and over again, and the singing drifted into the distance with the night wind.So in the camp, this free and romantic singing is everywhere.

Du Jianyue held the sword flower in her arms, and told Liang Xia on the opposite side over and over again, "My heart pleases you." She has said this countless times, since she was a teenager, she still said it when Liang Xia was her teacher, By this time, she was already a reliable young man, and she still poured out her love so frankly and passionately.

Sparks scattered, and the bonfire burned the face of the woman in blue.The female officers around Liang Xia made their moves one after another, took off her coat while singing, and pushed her to Du Jianyue's side.

Seeing her coming, Du Jianyue put away the long sword in her hand, half-kneeled on the ground with her back to the campfire and looked up at her.The night wind was shattered, as if covered by the singing around.Liang Xia trembled, put his hands on her shoulders according to Chu people's etiquette, and leaned slightly to cover her body with the green robe.

The robe with the fragrance of mountains and rivers enveloped Du Jianyue from top to bottom, she raised her head, smiled at Liang Xia, stood up suddenly and hugged Liang Xia.He hugged her under the starry sky, and ran around the surrounding bonfires amidst the celebrations of the crowd.

In the hustle and bustle of the night, when Zhong Liran led Gu Siyuan to find the sound, this was what he saw.Someone spotted her and saluted.Du Jianyue was drunk, but still remembered to put Liang Xia down, and gave a warrior salute to Zhong Liran.

Zhong Liran smiled and said, "It seems that I have to give you a marriage." It was rare for her to smile, and everyone around her relaxed.Du Jianyue understood what she meant, and immediately said, "The minister is so bold, please ask Your Majesty to give me a marriage."

Zhong Liran nodded and said yes.Immediately turned her head, looked at everyone present, and asked, "What are you singing and keep singing, don't worry about me." She said, pulling Gu Siyuan to go shopping elsewhere.

The young man who had never been in contact with her was originally afraid of her majesty, but now he heard her say this, looked at her back after she left, and sang boldly, "The clothes are beautiful, and the leaves are beautiful. The son of my gou , I write in my heart"

The voice was very soft at first, and then gradually grew stronger, like a beautiful hymn poured into Zhong Liran's ears along the night wind.Zhong Liran listened, and whispered next to Gu Siyuan, "Listen, these bastards are quite good at talking, and they even praised me for being such a gentleman."

She herself is clearly just a teenager who has passed the age of 17, but she bites one child at a time for those noble children.After hearing this, Gu Siyuan bent his lips and said with a smile, "Your Majesty was originally such a gentleman."

Zhong Liran was a little amused, and suddenly stretched out his hand to scrape the bridge of her nose, and said angrily, "You also come to flatter me."

The bonfire was very bright, and the light reflected in Zhong Liran's pupils shattered into pieces.Gu Siyuan was stunned for a moment, as if he finally saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly at this moment.

From this moment on, she was no longer the weak and pitiful child in her teens, but now a calm and wise young king.

An ethereal singing sound came from behind, and the night wind was very cold, but Gu Siyuan suddenly felt that the hand he was holding was warming up bit by bit.

As the night deepened, young people who had been allowed by the emperor were still singing loud songs.At some point, even Zhong Lihui joined in.The young Si Ming heard the commotion, shook the silver bells tied around their ankles, and sang together around the campfire hand in hand.

Many young voices gathered together and resounded far away under the starry sky.

When Zhong Liran led Gu Siyuan back to the camp, they were still singing.The singing was noisy, and a few words came faintly: "

If someone likes the mountain, he will be brought by Xue Lixi"

The singing was loud and clear, Zhong Liran took off his shoes, followed Gu Siyuan into the tent, raised his eyebrows and said: "Gu Siyuan, they are singing mountain ghosts, and Si Ming, the superintendent, is also messing around with him."

She sounded happy, as if she didn't mind the nonsense at all.Listening to such singing, Gu Siyuan suddenly remembered that on a certain Double Ninth Festival more than ten years ago, she took Zhong Liran out to the foot of Qingshan Mountain to watch the sacrifice held by the monks of Taiyi Temple, and what she heard was this mountain ghost.

When she came back that day, Zhong Liran held her hand, and the priestess who imitated the sacrifice took her to sing.

She remembered the child's appearance when she was a child, so she turned around and held Zhong Liran's hand, took a step forward, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, come to sing?"

She said, following the rhythm, she led Zhong Liran to throw off her sleeves, and jumped up on the template with blankets under her feet.Zhong Liran followed her clumsily, and asked her with a smile, "Why are you so interested today?"

The voice of the song is ethereal, faintly singing, "It's dark and dark, the day is dark, the wind is blowing and the gods are raining. Stay in spiritual practice and forget to return. When the age is old, which one is Huayu"

Gu Siyuan looked at the emperor in front of him, and said softly, "Because Your Majesty is also very interested."

The surrounding lights seemed to be blurred, blurring everything around him, and only the young man's black and white pupils were reflected in his pupils.

Her eyes are always clear, Gu Siyuan thought.At this moment, Gu Siyuan, who has read a lot of poetry and books, suddenly for the first time had the desire to use what he had learned in his life to describe the person in front of him.

She is like a deer, like a clear mountain spring, like a breeze, like the bright moon outside the window, and like everything in this vast world.

So Gu Siyuan bent down in the emperor's arms, followed his heart, and suddenly grabbed her skirt, raised his head and kissed her eyes.
