don't fight the general

When Yan Jing returned to the palace, Yinping was circling in front of the gate of the palace. Seeing Yan Jing walking slowly leading the horse, he immediately went up to meet him: "My lord, you are finally back, if you don't come back..."

Yan Jing handed over the reins in his hand to the porter who came up to meet him, and glanced sideways at Yinping: "What if I don't come back?"

Yinping followed Yan Jing into the mansion with a bitter face: "I can't do anything if you don't come back, maybe I have to go back to the capital with my head in my hands to plead guilty to Concubine Shu."

Yan Jing snorted softly, looked down and saw that her black robe was stained with a lot of dust, and couldn't help but frowned, dusted it off twice, and then said: "Didn't I send a message yesterday that I have something important to do? Why? It’s such a surprise.”

"You didn't say you would stay away all night," Yinping couldn't help but said, "You're still alone, without even a guard, and I don't even know where you've gone, and I don't even know where to send someone to look for you." where."

"I went out to the city, and the city gate was closed after finishing my work, so I didn't have time to come back." Yan Jing said casually, "Have someone prepare hot water and send it to my room."

"Yes." Yin Ping replied, and suddenly said in surprise, "You were not in the city last night? Could it be that you are staying in the wild when you are alone?"

"I went to the garrison camp." Yan Jing stopped pulling his cuffs suddenly, raised his eyes and glanced at Yinping, "Don't tell others about this, our palace has no friendship with the Northwest garrison. No, not only do they have no friendship, they simply have no contact with each other."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and smiled lightly: "Didn't I ask you to return the apology they sent when I just returned home a few days ago, you can find two people to spread the word in the city, I just said that when I came back, I saw the things and was furious, and I scolded the person who collected the things, and said that in the future, people in the mansion are not allowed to deal with people from the Northwest Garrison, let alone anything from the Northwest Garrison in my mansion."

Yin Ping was dumbfounded, why did His Highness spend the night out and had an enmity with the Northwest Garrison, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be angry, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't you Did you tell people to return it after receiving the compensation? If it spreads like this, it will make people think that our palace has a suspicion with the garrison army. There are also many people in Yunzhou City staring at us. If it is accidentally reported back to the capital , might even say that Your Highness, you..."

"Did they say that I have less? What's the difference?" Yan Jing snorted softly, "Besides, what I want is to send back to the capital."

Yin Ping looked at his Highness, completely unable to understand why he would fabricate such a thing for himself, and couldn't help but worry: "Let's not mention the matter of the capital, but will it affect you and the Northwest Garrison, especially that Xuan Ping Hou's relationship? When we first came to Yunzhou, shouldn't we not make grudges with others?"

"The relationship between me and Xuan Ping Hou is a matter between the two of us." Yan Jing didn't know what to think of, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his lips, which was very faint and disappeared soon, but it was indeed the same as those in the past. The mocking smile was different, he raised his chin towards Yinping, "Just do as I tell you, it would be even better if you could add some more content. In short, it must make people feel that since When I returned to Yunzhou, I confronted Xuan Ping Hou tit for tat, openly and secretly against each other, and the relationship between Prince Rui's Mansion and the Northwest Garrison is also extremely delicate, barely maintaining the peace on the surface."

Yin Ping didn't know why, but Yan Jing's tone was very firm, so he stopped questioning and nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."

After explaining her worries, Yan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to Yinping: "First, get someone to prepare hot water, and then find me a clean suit of clothes. Let's take the dark green robe they sent back yesterday." After finishing speaking , I regretted it again, "No, I'd better just find something else, put the dark green one away for me, and no one else can touch it without my permission."

It was the first time Yin Ping saw Yan Jing attaching so much importance to a piece of clothing. He thought it might be because the piece was brought back from the capital, after all, it was the concubine Shu's wish, so he was not surprised. After responding, he turned around and ordered someone to boil the water. .

Everything was back to the way it was when Yan Jing first arrived in Yunzhou. He slept until he was exposed to the sun every day before getting up, reading a book, writing a few strokes when he got interested, and even drawing a picture. Tea, listening to books, quiet and leisurely, leisurely and lazy, but Yan Jing occasionally feels as if something is missing, so life still has a little change.

For example, Yan Jing took the time to go to the stables, and after seeing a few old and thin horses inside, he ordered someone to find out where he could buy two good horses, and also asked Yinping to hire a better horse. Careful groom.

For another example, Yan Jing seemed to suddenly become interested in learning martial arts again. Every evening, he would practice boxing and kicking kung fu in the yard, and asked several guards to take turns to compete with him.

Yan Jing's changes are not big, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. Even Yinping, who has been with him all the year round, only thinks that this is a whim of his highness, and doesn't think there is anything unusual.

But Yan Jing always felt that something was different, perhaps because he had seen a different life from Cui Wei, which made him occasionally feel a little boring, and he always wanted to find some reason to go to the garrison camp these days .

However, when he sent the Beiliang princess to the garrison camp that day, it was tantamount to handing over the matter to them, and everyone knew it well—they had to deal with it.It would be somewhat inappropriate if I leaned over to ask again.

This reason is useless, and Yan Jing can't think of anything else for a while.After all, rumors about the feud between King Rui and Marquis Xuanping had already spread in the city, and too blatant an excuse could no longer be used.

After thinking about it, Yan Jing didn't have a clue. He could not hold on after writing half a word patiently, so he simply dropped the pen and leaned on the soft couch to blow the wind.

"Your Highness."

The gentle breeze blows on Yan Jing's face, making him a little drowsy, but at this moment the door is pushed open, and Yin Ping walks in quickly, disturbing Yan Jing's dream that has not had time to brew.He opened his eyes impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"There was someone outside the mansion who asked to see him. He didn't have a registration number. He only said that it was a young man who seemed young."

Yan Jing suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, fully awake the moment his feet stepped on the ground, he glanced at his appearance in front of the bronze mirror, and pondered for a while: "Please invite people into the main hall, good hospitality, Say I'll be there right away." The next moment, the man came to the suitcase, "Where's my dark green robe?"

Summer has gradually arrived, even before noon, the sun is already shining brightly, and the city of Yunzhou is even hotter than outside the city, and they are coming all the way at a fast pace, Cui Wei's face still has a lingering smile. flush.

He stood at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, looking up at the plaque on it. His turbulent mood finally calmed down a little bit, and he felt a little uneasy. He began to wonder if his actions today were a bit reckless. If not, I ran directly to the palace to ask for an interview.

But he didn't want to leave at all.

He turned his head and glanced behind him. There were two tall horses with shiny coats and tall stature. He bought them from the Hu merchant an hour ago. .

Cui Wei has been in the army for a long time, and he has seen many good horses, but he likes these two horses more and more. It happened that he had nothing to do today, and he had half a day to spare. On a thought, he brought someone to deliver the horses in person. come over.

Cui Wei reached out and touched the mane of one of the horses, the corners of his lips curled up, wondering if Yan Jing would like these two horses.

While thinking about it, the young servant who was going to deliver the message came out of the mansion, and bowed respectfully to Cui Wei: "Young master, my prince invites you to come in and sit down for a while, he will come later."

Cui Wei nodded, looked back at the two horses, hesitated for a moment, and told his subordinate: "The person who handed over the horse to the palace should go back. If Fu Yue asks you where I went, you Just say I don't know."

"Yes."

Cui Wei was relieved now, and followed the young man into the gate of the palace.

Cui Wei has also been in the northwest for several years, and he has been to Yunzhou City countless times, but it is the first time he has come to this palace. The predecessor of this palace seems to be the prefect's mansion of the previous dynasty. Still looks a bit dated.However, Cui Wei never cared about these things. He just glanced curiously at a courtyard that was obviously a martial arts field, and then closed his eyes and continued to walk forward.

The servant led him to the main hall, served tea and then retreated respectfully.Cui Wei sat down on the chair, and when he stretched out his hand to hold the teacup, he realized belatedly that this was probably the first time he was alone and took the initiative to visit someone's house, and he was really a little bit... ...It's so strange that I can't even say it myself.

Just as he was thinking, footsteps came from outside the door, Cui Wei retracted his hand on the teacup, and couldn't help but look towards the door. The next moment, a thin but tall figure appeared there, wearing a A robe that Cui Wei looks very familiar to.

With dark green skin and fair complexion, although the wide sleeves are cumbersome, they are elegant and free. Coupled with that already delicate face, Yan Jing at this moment looks like a full-fledged nobleman.The moment Yan Jing stepped into the door, a very shallow smile appeared on the corners of Yan Jing's lips: "It really is you."

The moment Cui Wei saw Yan Jing, the little bit of uneasiness in his heart dissipated. Moreover, from Yan Jing's expression, he could see that his arrival today was welcome, so he frowned and turned towards Yan Jing greeted with a smile: "Brother Jing."

Yin Ping, who was following Yan Jing, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this address, and glanced at this young man who he didn't know who he was, and turned his head to find that the smile on his Highness's lips was deeper and clearer. He responded with a sound.
