Hengnan is windy

It is said that the remnants of the northern soil were lingering, but there was a steady stream of reinforcements to support them. Later, two consecutive yellow sounds seemed to be a signal. Fireworks bloomed in the distance, and most of the troops retreated. The enemy who was fighting The army also retreated in a hurry, and if he couldn't retreat, he took the initiative to wipe his neck.Someone even roared: "Master is shameless!"

The other people who were running away showed even more nervous expressions. Captain Wu hurriedly grabbed the screaming person and shouted sharply: "Who is your master?"

"Yes..." The man opened his mouth wide, as if he was saying something, but a dagger was swung across his throat, and his mouth opened even wider. In the end, he could only tremble. Can't make a sound.

Captain Wu had no choice but to throw this person away, Captain Li then grabbed a few escaped people, but they refused to answer, just sneered and committed suicide.

Afterwards, the leader of Beitu was killed, and the patriarch abandoned the city and fled. He was intercepted by our army on the road, but he bled to death from seven orifices.

Captain Wu and Captain Li finished talking about what they thought was strange, and there was silence in the military tent for a while.And Huo Feng took a closer look at the captain in the army, and felt that Captain Li looked familiar.

Lieutenant Wu went on to say: "The reinforcements seem to have come from elsewhere, and their costumes are also different. They are not slaves, why did they call out 'Master'? The patriarch seems to have prepared it long ago. The poison was not taken temporarily, but in advance. Those who took it for a few days still managed to escape so hard.”

Situ Hengnan was still seriously injured. He put on a coat over his shoulders, frowned, and said: "The actions of these people are not so much reinforcements as dead soldiers."

All the generals nodded thoughtfully.

Shen Ke said with a cold face: "If he is a dead man, but he is obviously not the dead man of the Beitu patriarch, who would it be?"

"Of course it's the 'master'." Captain Lin took over the words.

Captain Zhou looked sad and said, "Those two beams of signals are also very strange, and the person who sent them can't be found at all."

Chen Ning nodded again, and said: "Most of the rest of the city are women and children, and they have been resettled. The imperial court has almost taken back the jurisdiction of Beitu City. The spies in the army before plotted against brother Xiaofeng. It's gone. Brother Xiaofeng, what do you think?"

Most of the people in the army knew that Huo Feng was an old acquaintance of the major general, so Chen Ning called him "Brother Xiaofeng" as he was used to.

Situ Hengnan also looked at Huo Feng. Huo Feng had clenched his fist on his chin and was thinking about it. Then he put his hand down and said slowly, "The chief of the Beitu tribe, their generals are all puppets. , the real influence behind this war should be the 'master'. That military division Jiang seems to have escaped."

Situ Hengnan was deeply impressed by the mention of Jiang Junshi.

"Perhaps, the reason why Beitu dared to attack the court is that there should be a powerful force that has been assisting, and this force is most likely controlled by people in the court." Huo Feng continued to state his thoughts.

Shen Ke sneered, and said, "You mean, there are traitors in my court? Isn't General Situ the only one who has the ability to mobilize such a large number of troops?"

Of course, the generals would not agree with this point of view, they could all hear Shen Ke's strong hostility towards Huo Feng and his dissatisfaction with Situ Hengnan.

Situ Hengnan also frowned.

This discussion broke up unhappily.

The momentum of the army's return to the city was so great that the people in the city crowded together on the side of the road, shouting "the general is heroic".General Situ returned to the city to recuperate more than a year ago, so the general that the people call at this time is naturally Young General Situ.

Everyone's face was full of joy, so they didn't pay attention to the tall and short young people and children who were pushed to the back of the crowd.

Situ Hengnan was in front of the team, trying to control his figure so that no one would see that he was injured.

Huo Feng saw the young man behind the crowd, he frowned, but immediately put it away, and the young man was protecting the child, and disappeared into the vast crowd in an instant, so Situ Hengnan and his party didn't notice it What.

The place where Situ Heng returned south was the General's Mansion. The General's wife and Situ Xing'er were watching at the gate, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Situ Hengnan dismounted slowly, and knelt down in front of the general's wife.

"Heng'er is unfilial, it's too late to return to the city." Situ Hengnan said guiltily.

The unbearable tears fell from the eyes of the general's wife, she just said softly: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, get up quickly."

Situ Xing'er also wiped her tears with her sleeves, but she smiled again and said, "Brother is finally back."

The general's wife helped Situ up, and also saw Huo Feng who was walking with him, her eyes flashed with astonishment for a moment, and then became a complicated color.

The general's wife looked at Huo Feng, then at Situ Hengnan, called "Heng'er", and shook her head gently.

Huo Feng obviously saw it, so he also knelt down, kowtowed, and then handed out a letter, saying: "Zixin is grateful for the kindness of the general and his wife, and there is nothing to repay in this life. Everything you want to say is in this letter, Mrs. Wang Take it."

The general's wife seemed to sigh, and also helped Huo Feng, and then accepted the letter.

"Zixin bid farewell." Huo Feng took one last look at the door plaque of General Situ's mansion, and led Chenfeng away.

Situ Hengnan wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the general's wife: "Your father is waiting for you in the study."

Situ Hengnan patted Kaifeng, and Kaifeng snorted twice before running to Huo Feng's side.

Huo Feng paused, Kaifeng and Chenfeng beside him hummed together.

"Small building." Huo Feng left two words and continued to leave.

2 Compared with five or six years ago, Dongfeng Xiaolou has improved its old system, and it has lived up to the title of "the first building in the imperial city".

In response to Chen Yu's invitation, on the first day Huo Feng lived in the small building, someone sent a letter, saying that five days later, he met at the Dongfeng Small Building at the beginning of You Shichu, and it was Chen Yu's handwriting.Huo Feng stayed nearby for a few days, and then entered the chic private room at the appointed time.

Situ Hengnan hadn't arrived yet, only Chen Yu was wearing an ivory white robe, looking at the distant view from the railing with his back on his back.

"His Royal Highness." Huo Feng saluted.

Only then did Chen Yu turn around, and deliberately said in a disgusted tone: "Here, I'm just Liu Yu, brother Zixin."

"Brother Liu asked me to arrive early, but what do you want to say alone?" Huo Feng lowered his hands and raised his head.

Chen Yu sat down at the table and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Are you so sure that I have something to talk to you alone?" Chen Yu poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Huo Feng.

"Yes." Huo Feng replied.

Chen Yu laughed, holding the teacup in one hand, shaking the tea in it, and said after a while: "Actually, there's nothing wrong, I just want to ask you, what are your plans in the future?"

"Go back to the southwest." Huo Feng replied simply.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have a family in the southwest?"

Huo Feng put down his teacup and said, "No, I traveled around in the past few years, and I didn't get married."

Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction, and finally said: "Then why are you going back to the southwest? Why don't you take the imperial examination in the imperial city and become an official?"

Huo Feng shook his head and said, "The official career is not what I want. Zixin only wants to go back to his hometown to impart knowledge, and stay indifferent for the rest of his life."

"You are so young, why do you seem to have seen through the officialdom." Chen Yu mocked, "You are considered to be more than half of the people in the imperial city. Wouldn't it be better to live in the imperial city?"

Huo Feng showed distress, and he said after a long time: "The general and madam don't want to see me again, and I shouldn't delay Situ any longer."

"Why?" Chen Yu asked.

"Situ was young and innocent, and he followed me to the southwest for more than a year. Some bad words were spread, which shamed the Shen family and made the world think that the daughter of the prime minister's mansion was defeated by the women of the Southwest. I am guilty of the influence."

When Chen Yu heard it, he was very speechless.

"Then why did you come back from this trip?" Chen Yu continued to ask while resisting the speechlessness in his heart.

"It's for breaking the formation." Huo Feng answered bluntly.

Chen Yu was speechless to a certain extent, but he found it very funny, but he still held back his emotions, and began to say seriously: "I do have something, and I want your help."

"Please speak." Huo Feng did not hesitate.

There was no smile on Chen Yu's face, but gradually became serious, and he asked: "Do you still remember my eldest brother?"

"Of course I remember." Mentioning the eldest prince Xirun, Huo Feng's face could not help but sink.

Chen Yu stood up, showing a wry smile: "After the emperor disappeared, the whole palace seemed to have forgotten him. His name became a taboo in the court. No one found out the result back then, and I wanted a the truth."

Chen Yu turned around again, and said in a low voice, "Zixin, you are free and can do things that I can't do. Since you have traveled everywhere, I want you to investigate the spring hunting accident that year. The person who operates in the dark."

Huo Feng complied with Chen Yu's request, returned to the inn after dinner, and was ready to go to investigate early the next morning.

What he didn't know was that Chen Yu hosted Situ Hengnan alone that night.

"Brother Nan, are you very disappointed that you didn't see Zixin?" Chen Yu mocked Situ Hengnan when he saw Situ Hengnan stepping into the private room but he could glance left and right. It seems to be nagging.

"Then Ayu invited me alone, what did you want to say? At the celebration banquet in the palace, you can be regarded as a clean-up for me." Situ Hengnan's tone was filled with disappointment that could not be concealed.

Chen Yu naturally heard it, and said very sympathetically: "It's a pity, what a pity. Zixin wants to go back to the Southwest. But you are so reluctant to have a meal with me?"

"Southwest?" Situ Hengnan stood up, as if he was about to leave, but was pulled down by Chen Yu.

Chen Yu rubbed his temples and said, "How long will it take for you to get over your impatient temper? It's just that I asked Zixin. He still lives near here and won't leave here for the time being. I have something important to ask for your help." .”

Chen Yu said it again about what happened before.

So Situ Hengnan also agreed to investigate this incident back then.

When Situ Hengnan left, Chen Yu stood by the railing again, looked at the waning moon in the sky, and said: "I hope that the two of them will work together to give me an answer to comfort the emperor." A sadness that is completely different from the usual words.

Seeing Situ Hengnan stepping out of the pavilion, Chen Yu said helplessly: "One is slow to restrain, the other is slow to restrain, but you can still see it after all."

"But Ruoxuan, Brother Huang will never come back."

Chen Yu stared blankly into the distance, and Ruoxuan beside him put on a cloak for him.

"Your Highness, it's cold, it's time to go back to the palace." Ruoxuan said softly.

☆, clues

1 Huo Feng obtained the fragments of the old weapon provided by Chen Yu, and the powder left on it was carefully sealed for many years, as another clue provided.

Because the sealing work was done extremely well, although it has been a long time, it can still be seen that the powder original body is white.According to the archives of Dali Temple back then, the source of the powder was pointed to the southwest, but this is indeed strange, and it has been difficult to find the culprit.

Not knowing how to proceed with the investigation, Huo Feng collected the important clues, got up and went to the courtyard.He was living in a small garden provided by Chen Yu at this time, and Chen Yu said that except for some people who would come to deliver some daily necessities from time to time, basically no one would bother him.

Spring is approaching, but it is still warm and cold, and the big trees in the courtyard can't breathe out new ideas yet.

Facing a big bare tree, it is depressing.Huo Feng pushed open the door of the courtyard and walked slowly around.

While walking, he was also thinking about the spring hunting in his mind.Although many years have passed, a certain fear has been imprinted in his heart and will never dissipate.

It was raining lightly in the sky, Huo Feng held up an umbrella, and wanted to visit the Dugu girl who was rumored to be acquainted with fragrance.

Before arriving at the pavilion, I heard the sound of flute and swallowed quietly.But the people in the courtyard seemed to have noticed his approach, and the music stopped at the moment he reached the door.

Huo Feng knocked lightly on the door, and a clear female voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Huo Feng pushed open the door, a woman stroked the flute, turned around, and took a few steps towards him.

When Huo Feng saw the person coming, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled kindly: "So it's really Miss Yao."

Dugu Yao responded generously with a smile, and then said: "So it's Zixin. But what is 'true', have you forgotten me?"

"No. It's just that there is a good spice blender here, so I thought of Miss Yao. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know that the girl's surname is Dugu." Huo Feng explained carefully.

Dugu Yao naturally didn't care about this, she just laughed a few times and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's just that I haven't told you. I'm not young anymore, so I'm a little ashamed of being called a 'girl'."

Huo Feng looked at Duguyao in front of him, he was naturally different from the lively girl in his memory. After a few years, his temperament has become more restrained, but he is definitely not old.The spirit and energy of sunshine have not changed at all.

"I saw Brother Nan came back the other day, and you were with me. Sure enough, you went to fight the Northland together. Why didn't he come together today? Are you asking me to spice things up?" Dugu Yao kept talking. .

"I want to ask the girl to look at the raw materials of this powder." Huo Feng took out a small brocade box from his sleeve.

Dugu Yao took the powder, but didn't pay attention to it for a while, but asked again like a cannonball: "Did you have a hard time fighting in Beitu? I haven't seen Brother Nan for a long time. What is he busy with today? Could it be that he was injured?" ?”

Huo Feng replied: "I didn't fight with Situ in Beitu, I just helped him break through for a while. He...was indeed injured."

Dugu Yao was a little anxious: "What? Injured? Is it heavy? It must have been heavy on the battlefield, but has it recovered?"

"Should be almost healed."

"Almost? Why don't you know?"

"I haven't stayed in the General's Mansion, so I don't know."

"You didn't fight with Brother Nan? Then you..."

"A few years ago, I went back to the Southwest and kept my father's filial piety, so I traveled abroad."

"Then are you married?"

Dugu Yao suddenly asked the same question that Chen Yu asked a few days ago, Huo Feng paused, and then said: "No."

Dugu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Huo Feng looking at her strangely, she said: "Ahem, I really didn't expect that a gentleman like Huo Langjun is not married at this time."

Dugu Yao smiled suspiciously at the end, but immediately changed the subject, saying: "What is this powder, and it has no smell. I am a perfumer, so I don't know how to analyze these things."

Dugu Yao spread out the small brocade box in her hand, in the metal groove, there is an unknown powder inside.

Seeing that Huo Feng wanted to thank and take back the small box, Dugu Yao smiled again and said: "You lied to Mr. Wang. You will find out in a few days."

2 When approaching the courtyard, the light rain has stopped.Although he was holding an umbrella all the way, Huo Feng's hair was also covered with falling raindrops, making it a little wet.

When he got to the door, Huo Feng saw someone sitting on the small stone steps at the door, wearing a black shirt, obviously coming here in the rain, and his hair was a little messy.

"Situ." Huo Feng was taken aback for a moment, then hurried to the door.

"Ha, Zixin, I forgot to bring my umbrella." Situ Hengnan laughed, as if he was still fifteen or sixteen years old.

Why did you come here, why did you come to find him...

All the questions were finally swallowed, and finally Huo Feng just put the umbrella over Situ Hengnan's head and asked, "Situ, is your injury healed?"

Such a serious injury, how could it be healed in a short time.As soon as the words fell, Huo Feng slandered himself.

But Situ Hengnan stood up slowly, took the umbrella with one hand, and said, "It's ready."

Due to the patter of light rain earlier, the air was also filled with a cool breath.Huo Feng warmed a pot of tea, and sat cross-legged facing Situ Hengnan.

"I... I was looking for Yao." Situ Hengnan habitually grabbed a lock of hair, "She said you had been there before, so I asked along and heard that you were here."

After pouring tea, Huo Feng seemed to understand something.

"So, Chen Yu also asked you to investigate the eldest prince's affairs?" Huo Feng put down the cup of tea.

"Are you also going to investigate?" Situ Hengnan's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again, "That's right, you won't stay here without any special reason."

"Is the general in good health?" Huo Feng noticed Situ Hengnan's loss, but he didn't know how to get around this topic, and it ended up involving General Situ again.

"It's good." Situ Hengnan replied a little reluctantly.

"In the past few years, I have been to many places." Huo Feng turned away and suddenly laughed, "Do you think that I have changed?"

Situ Hengnan looked at Huo Feng carefully, perhaps a few years of travel had made his temperament more restrained, his face was no longer youthful, but his skin was still as white as fat jade, with a pair of clear black eyes under long eyelashes, as if he could Insight into the world, but also hidden thoughts.

"You're getting...better."

Situ Hengnan tried his best to give him a good description, but felt that it was not enough.

So, in the end just saying the word "okay".

As soon as his answer was finished, Huo Feng smiled even wider: "I think you have turned darker a lot."

It was intended to break the awkward atmosphere, but Situ Hengnan was taken aback for a moment, and then he patted the table and said, "In the barracks, I'm already the fairest. Well, before Shen Ke came to supervise the army."

"Zixin, in the past, I hoped to regain the northern land. I hoped that I could turn the tide in the battle, kill the enemy with the soldiers, and let them go home safely. And more importantly, I also hope that this war will end, and there will be no more wars in the future." Dispute." Situ Hengnan drank half a cup of tea and suddenly started to read, but Huo Feng didn't interrupt him, but wanted to listen to him quietly.

Situ Hengnan sneered: "But, I found that the rebellion in the northern lands was actually a kind of forced helplessness. People in the Central Plains often harassed their lives. Over time, they became rebellious. However, if it weren't for the alliance with the northern states The ethnic group, their attacks alone are only better than hitting a stone with a pebble. This battle was bloody, and the northern soil may be recovered, but the free and peaceful life of the ethnic group will no longer be as it used to be. Once the war When it starts, there is no real end. There is no absolute good or bad. Why is being a human being not for one's own obsession? And I also destroyed other people's homes."

Seeing Situ Hengnan stop, Huo Fengcai said: "You are defending your own justice for the sake of your country and your responsibility, and there is no fault at all."

"Really? But Zixin, Daddy was injured earlier, so I managed to take his place temporarily. I didn't become a general for the sake of being a general, but I became a general for the sake of not being a general."

Situ Hengnan expressed his true thoughts frankly and frankly: "In this way, I can promote Chen Ning. I also thought about going to the southwest to find you."

The time with Huo Feng in the southwest is actually Situ Hengnan's most unforgettable memory so far.

"However, it's a good thing that you didn't stay in the southwest and traveled around." Situ Hengnan said calmly.

After muttering something, Situ Hengnan coughed twice before saying, "Zixin, what do you think about this matter?"

"Thinking about it from the beginning, I feel that what happened to the eldest prince back then has something to do with Beitu." Huo Feng frowned, "It's just that I haven't got a basis yet. Judging from the weapons provided, they are ordinary swords and fragments of hidden weapons. As for the powder, we'll have to wait for Miss Yao's results."

"But..." Huo Feng's lips moved, but he didn't speak for a while.

"Ok?"

"Situ, are you still afraid of thunder?" Huo Feng asked Situ Hengnan.

Situ Hengnan seemed a little embarrassed, and just said: "There are still some, much better than before."

And in a flash of inspiration, Situ Hengnan also remembered the thunder that was somehow caused when he rescued Huo Feng.

"Perhaps it's not surprising that northerners are good at witchcraft." Maybe it's the tacit understanding between the two. Seeing that he seemed to remember it, Huo Feng speculated, "I'm curious, why do they know that you are afraid of thunder?"

"This...only the family knows." Situ Hengnan said softly.

Huo Feng also thought of this, so he was even more clueless.

"But why did that military adviser say the second option?" Huo Feng thought to himself, "He, he must not be joking."

"It really doesn't make sense." Situ Hengnan rubbed his chin, "Anyway, it should be that I can't influence them. Therefore, it's safest to take my head."

Speaking of it at this time, it seems a bit teasing, as if the previous danger to life was just yesterday's dream.

"Zixin, spring hasn't arrived yet."

Situ Hengnan looked at the big tree in the courtyard through the window, murmured, and drank the remaining half cup of tea.

☆, chatting

1 Situ Hengnan went back to the General's Mansion at dusk, and within two days he packed his bags and returned to Huo Feng's courtyard.

Huo Feng was not surprised to see him, he still warmed the pot of hot tea and poured two cups of tea.The two played chess with each other.

"We lost, we lost." Situ Hengnan couldn't hold on until halfway through the chess game.

"Situ, have you arranged the guards around these few days?" Huo Feng picked up the chess pieces unhurriedly.

Since Situ Hengnan's last visit, Huo Feng has been aware of the secret guards.

"Yes." Situ Hengnan replied.

Huo Feng raised his eyes, but didn't say anything.

"I……"

"you……"

In the end, it was Situ Hengnan who continued, "Myolie and Chen Ning are getting married."

After collecting the chess pieces, Huo Feng smiled gently: "You, the older brother, have contributed a lot to this marriage."

"It's true." Situ Hengnan was deeply moved in his heart.

"Actually, I originally wanted to go back when I was in the southwest." Situ Hengnan recalled the pain he had been unable to find Huo Feng before, and his face showed pain.

"That sex scene came and went quickly, and it was soon suppressed by the court. Naturally, it's not worth your coming." Huo Feng stretched his sleeves.

"Zixin, did someone... trouble you at that time?" Situ Hengnan frowned after deliberating on his words.

"No." Huo Feng paused for a moment before answering, closing his eyes slightly.

Situ Hengnan pursed his lips. Although he saw Huo Feng's concealment, he did not continue to ask.

"In the past few years, have you traveled around alone?" Situ Hengnan asked the question.

Huo Feng thought for a moment, then replied: "I spend most of the time with cousin Ling."

An unexplained sourness pricked his heart, and Situ Hengnan coughed twice.

However, Huo Feng immediately cast a concerned look, which made Situ Hengnan extremely comfortable.Aware of his unspeakable little thoughts, Situ Hengnan's eyes wandered a little.

In a flash, it has been five years.

Originally thought that there would never be such a moment between him and him, and there would be no words to talk to.When you can't find something to talk to, you will feel a little lost and uneasy.

This soft, unspoken feeling, buried for so many years, was still slowly brought out by the person in front of him.

Even though he himself has experienced killing, the sand and dust on the battlefield, and the blood mist everywhere——

This person has always been in the softest, most undetectable, and most secure place in his heart.

Even if thousands of words are thought about, in the end it is just a sentence of miss.

He's still him, presumably.

Ke Zixin, is it still that Zixin?

"Zixin, do you still remember Aunt Qing?" Since this is the case, Situ Hengnan can only slowly explore from memory.

"Naturally." Qingming's eyes were tinged with tenderness, which has not changed at all.

"Do you want to visit her?" Situ Hengnan felt a little anxious in his natural, probing tone.

"Still in Wutong Garden?" Huo Feng asked.

"It should be." Situ Hengnan met Huo Feng's eyes.

2 On the way, the two knocked on the door of Dugu Yao's courtyard, but no one answered, so they could only visit Aunt Qing as originally planned.

Aunt Qing was an elder who both of them would visit on Lantern Festival and New Year's Eve when they were young.Aunt Qing took over the affairs of the eldest sister many years ago and took care of some orphans.Many years ago, the General's Mansion funded it, and the imperial court later also allocated funds to set up a special institution for these orphans to take refuge.

Wutong Court was the name of the first school, and Aunt Qing had lived here for many years.

The one who opened the door was a little girl with a double bun, her brows and eyes were youthful and delicate.

"...Xu'er?" Situ Hengnan recognized it for a while before calling out tentatively.

The girl's eyes were full of vigilance, but when Situ Hengnan called out her name, a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes, and then she gestured with her hand.

"I'm Brother Nan." Situ Hengnan laughed.

Xu'er also laughed, but she seemed to think of something, and wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Situ Hengnan.

"No need, Xu'er. We're here to visit Aunt Qing, is Aunt Qing there?" Situ Hengnan withdrew his hand.

Xu'er blinked her nimble eyes, then nodded, and led Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng towards the depths of the courtyard.

A flickering singing came from a secluded room. A woman was sitting quietly, squinting her eyes and humming a ditty while doing female red.Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, he put down the needlework and cloth in his hand, got up slowly and walked to the door.

"General Situ." Seeing that it was Situ Hengnan, Aunt Qing also wanted to kneel down.

"Aunt Qing." Situ Hengnan immediately supported Aunt Qing, "Hengnan is a junior, how can he bear it?"

"General Situ can return to the city safely, I really thank God." Aunt Qing expressed her gratitude to the sky with her hands together.

"This one, is Mr. Huo?" Aunt Qing asked Huo Feng.

"In memory of Aunt Lao Qing, I am Zixin." Huo Feng saluted slightly.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Both General Situ and Mr. Huo have become Mr. Pianpian and have lost their childishness."

Aunt Qing seemed to smile with some sentimentality, with a familiar kindness embedded in her smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Aunt Qing led the two of them around the courtyard, mentioning that the children from back then had their own destinations.Only Xu'er insisted on staying to take care of her, which made her very worried about her life-long affairs, but in the end because of Xu'er's stubbornness, she had no choice but to let it go.

"Look, how beautiful are these wisterias blooming?" Aunt Qing pointed to the wisteria flowers blooming in the courtyard, and showed them excitedly.

"It's already opened so much." Situ Hengnan looked at Zi in front of him, and gradually opened the memory box.

Huo Feng looked at the delicate and alluring purple in front of him, and couldn't help being touched.

3 In that year, shortly after the Lantern Festival, a new school building was built on the outskirts of the imperial city, named Wutong Garden.

Everyone on the outskirts of the city knew that it was the Situ Mansion's intention to promote it, and the imperial court issued some money to build it.

The first batch of children were just orphans, but with the expansion of Wutong Garden, there were new Li Xueyuan, Du Xueyuan, etc., and the surrounding residents also sent their children to study here one after another, and the school became more and more popular. presentable.

Not long after the beginning of spring, when Wutong Garden was not fully completed, Situ Hengnan came to see it. Of course, Huo Feng was also there.

When they arrived on the front foot, someone sent seeds on the back foot.

After carefully repairing the area of ​​Wutong Garden, there happened to be a suitable piece of land.

Children, big and small, came to put up their hands and set up the scaffolding, especially a few boys who were usually restless, beating their chests and saying that they would pay close attention to these seeds, fertilize and water them well.

"Ha, I don't think you all rush to water it one by one, there will be too much watering by then." Situ Hengnan looked at them worriedly.

"I think you all think so, but it's just a fresh idea for a while." Aunt Qing came over and said to the boys who were eager to try, "I guess it won't be long before you push me and push you, or you forget."

"would not!"

"Ah San will do this!"

"That's why you are like this!"

……

Several boys said something lively.

"Okay, okay, it's almost finished planting, let's take a rest." Aunt Qing beckoned, "I've prepared some melons, fruits and snacks, Mr. Situ and Mr. Huo should go and try them too."

Before Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng could answer, a group of children had already crossed the corridor, raised the bamboo curtain, and ran towards the hall.

Situ Hengnan wiped off his sweat, washed his hands with Huo Feng and prepared to take a rest.

"Hey, Zixin, how do you say that?" Situ Hengnan scratched his head and asked.

"What?" Huo Feng also asked.

"It's the one who wrote that wisteria is like a dragon..." Situ Hengnan thought hard.

"The wisteria grows up along the tree, the vines are fibrous, connected with the tree, looking at the twisting and winding volts, it looks like a dragon haunting the waves." Huo Feng said slowly, "Is it this one?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Situ Hengnan laughed.

In retrospect, many seeds failed to survive at the beginning, and it was Aunt Qing and the nearby flower growers who slowly found a suitable cultivation method.

The current piece of purple is really like a flood dragon haunting the waves.

☆, north and south

1 Someone came suddenly, and when Huo Feng opened the door, he found a child holding a letter in both hands.

The boy stuffed the letter into his hand and hurried away.

The envelope has a vague fragrance, and the corner of the letter says "Yao".

Situ Hengnan came over, saw the letter in Huo Feng's hand, and asked, "Is there a letter? Who sent it?"

"It's Miss Yao."

Huo Feng closed the door, and sat cross-legged at the tea table with Situ Hengnan.

The content of the letter is not much, it is a reply to them.

Dugu Yao wrote:

Brother Nan, Huo Langjun:

The hard work in the past few days has paid off.This powder does not come from the southwest, but from Beitucheng.

"Beitu." Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng yelled together.

It seems that all bad things point to Beitu.

"His Royal Highness was murdered back then, even if it was because of power disputes, it was very unwise. But Dali Temple used the southwestern barbarians to be dissatisfied with the imperial government's policy and closed the case. The Holy Majesty also wanted to make Chen Yu the crown prince because of the pressure of the officials. The circumstances of the case Even if the conclusion is incomplete, they will not overturn the case, so as not to make people panic. This is a good reason to establish a prince." Huo Feng frowned slightly, "But, is their goal really the prince?"

Situ Hengnan shook his eyebrows and asked, "I was there at the time, and the target of the assassin is the present prince. If it wasn't Chen Yu, who would it be?"

Huo Feng's eyes were covered with preoccupation, his brows were furrowed, but he didn't speak.

When he realized that his right hand touched the eyebrows of the person in front of him, Situ Hengnan quickly withdrew his hand.
