Chang'an City in April is still shrouded in a chilly chill, but pedestrians are still happy to linger outside.

Xu Jingyan and Xu Zhao are in the brightly lit street market.The prosperous capital of Dayong Kingdom is like brocade, and stalls selling all kinds of snacks and handicrafts can be seen everywhere.

Xu Jingyan was pulling Xu Zhao, trying to squeeze forward in the noisy crowd.The business of selling milk cakes is so good that Xu Jingyan was afraid that Xu Zhao would be separated.

In fact, his worry was superfluous, the chance of Xu Zhao getting lost was much smaller than the chance of him getting lost.

Xu Zhao has always been obsessed with cleanliness and doesn't like crowded places, but the warmth from his hands makes him nostalgic.He suppressed his desire to leave, and followed Xu Jingyan to line up quietly.

Xu Jingyan knew that he didn't like being crowded, so he used his body to create a narrow place for him.

Xu Zhao was running fast, and the two of them were very close to each other. Standing like this, they could feel each other's warm breath on their faces.

Fearing that he would be bored, Xu Jingyan talked to him about his days in the army when he was his age. Xu Zhao listened attentively and helped him brush his loose hair aside from time to time.

The two waited for about a stick of incense, and finally bought a pack of steaming milk cakes.

Xu Zhao pulled his sleeves, walked straight out of the crowd with the wind in his walk.

Xu Jingyan laughed, knowing that he couldn't take it any longer.After walking out of the crowd, he said: "You have endured it for a long time, do you want a piece?"

Xu Zhao shook his head, he didn't like to eat these things, and he also knew that Xu Jingyan hated the fishy smell of milk.Xu Zhao didn't know why he had to wait so long to buy it, but he always followed Xu Jingyan's wishes.

Xu Jingyan asked, "Father, shall we go home?"

"Huh? Don't go back now, let's go to Prince Jin's Mansion! Brother Xu likes to eat the milk cake from this shop the most. He will go back to Qishan tomorrow. I bought it for him today, and it happens that he is eating it on the way..." Xu Jingyan put the milk cake on the road. Put it in the outer robe to keep warm, for fear of being cooled by the wind.He rubbed the boy's head and said with a smile, "Are you sleepy? Then go home first."

Xu Zhao lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly.

The night was heavy, Xu Jingyan couldn't see the boy's expression clearly, but he felt that he didn't want to talk much.

Xu Jingyan was puzzled for a moment, how come he was fine just now and suddenly became unhappy.

He changed the topic, trying to make the atmosphere more lively: "Brother Xu told me a few days ago that with your qualifications, you can take the scientific examination in May. If you go, you will definitely scare the invigilator this year." Big jump!"

Xu Jingyan was about to ask him if he wanted to take part in the current imperial examination, but Xu Zhao cut him off in a rare way.

The boy's voice was gentle and warm, like willow branches swaying in spring: "Father, step carefully."

Xu Jingyan's words reached his throat and he swallowed them again. There were only a few stones in front of him.

Xu Zhao followed him silently, his long and curly eyelashes cast a crow color in the night, his eyes seemed to have swirls, filled with endless emotions.

Although separated by his clothes, Xu Zhao felt that the holy flame around his waist was slowly emerging again.

He seldom does this, most of the time, he doesn't care about anything.Only the person in front of him, a word, a movement, can make the self-control that he has always been proud of come to naught.

He kept talking about Prince Jin, and he was even willing to wait so long in the cold wind for the man who already had a lover, just so that he wouldn't feel lonely on the trip tomorrow.

Xu Zhaozaohui, at an age when his peers only know how to play with mud, can already see through the minds of adults.When he was still in the military camp in Liangzhou City, Xu Zhao felt that his adoptive father had different feelings for King Jin.Although he is so kind to everyone, only in front of Zhao Xu will he be involuntarily full of joy and piety.The eyes of the boy at that time.There is no trace of impurity, it is the young love that belongs to that age.

At that time Xu Zhao thought, he should know that Zhao Xu and Jiang Yunya are in love, so why did he accept him as an adopted son and vowed never to marry?

Love is the most difficult word, and I can't explain it clearly.At that time, Xu Zhao never thought that one day he would fall into this word.

.....................

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Xu and Jiang Yunya separated and asked for leave.

Zhao Xudao went back to Qishan to visit his former teacher, while Jiang Yunya went back to his hometown for treatment. Although everyone knew that they were on the same road, they didn't know that they went to the same place.

The two made an appointment to meet again at a post station, and when they met, they saw that they had changed into commoner clothes at the same time, and they looked completely ordinary people's attire.Look at each other and smile.

Due to its remote location, the residents at the foot of Qishan Mountain are not rich. If you pass by on horseback, you will attract many eyes.So when he was about to reach Qishan, Zhao Xu dismissed his attendants and sent his horse to an inn in the city for a while, and the two walked up the mountain together.

The mountains in the early morning are a piece of damp green, misty and unclear, it is morning fog.

When the two of them walked up the mountain, their clothes were wet.

Zhao Xu hadn't been back to Qishan for many years, so he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.He wiped away the dew from Jiang Yunya's eyebrows with his sleeve, and said: "It's still so early, I don't know if Master is up or not."

The outlines of several wooden houses side by side on the mountain became more and more clear. Zhao Xu took Jiang Yunya's hand and almost trotted to the front of the wooden house.

When the two of them saw the place where they had lived since childhood, they both felt a little apprehensive in their hearts. They looked at each other and stood quietly waiting outside the door.

However, after a while, a familiar voice came from inside the house: "What are you doing outside, come in."

Zhao Xu and Jiang Yunya were surprised, they thought their footsteps were light enough, but they didn't expect their master to hear them.

They walked in obediently, and when they saw the person in the room who was playing chess alone, they couldn't help but get wet.

There are two black and white chess pieces on the table, placed in front of Jiang Qingfeng.Although he has reached the age of knowing the destiny, he is determined not to be able to see it. His high crown hair and white Taoist robe make him look like a banished fairy.

Both Zhao Xu and Jiang Yunya knelt down straight, Zhao Xu called for Master, but Jiang Qingfeng stopped him.

He frowned slightly, and said: "Come back when you come back, what are you kneeling for? Get up!"

Jiang Qingfeng looked gentle, but not arrogant, Zhao Xu and Jiang Yunya hurriedly stood up.

Jiang Qingfeng saw the twitching look of the two, and said lightly: "Speak."

Jiang Yunya glanced at Zhao Xu, and each of them knew it.

Jiang Yunya took a step forward, stood in front of Zhao Xu, took a long breath, and said seriously: "Master, Xiao Xu and I are already together. We are both sincere, and I hope Master will be perfect..."

"If you want to blame, you can blame me. I told my senior brother first!" Zhao Xu hurriedly said.

Both of them were very disturbed, looking at Jiang Qingfeng all the time, they wanted to see a hole in his face.

Jiang Qingfeng put the chess pieces on the table back into the chess box calmly, with a calm expression, "Is there anything else?"

Although Zhao Xu had never been afraid in any situation, he respected and feared this master, so he couldn't help but said, "Master, aren't you surprised?"

Jiang Qingfeng said: "You have never let go of your hands since you entered the door."

Hearing the words, the two were stunned, and hurriedly parted the hands they were holding.They were all so nervous that they forgot about it.

Zhao Xu smiled embarrassedly, and was about to talk about the business, but Jiang Qingfeng said for him, "Ya'er's eyes hurt?"

From the moment the two of them entered the door, he noticed that Jiang Yunya's eyes were no longer as clear as before.

Jiang Yunya answered honestly: "Yes, this is what this disciple came here for."

Jiang Qingfeng said: "Sit down."

Jiang Yunya sat in front of the case, and Jiang Qingfeng got up to diagnose his pulse.

The two didn't talk for a long time, Zhao Xu didn't dare to interrupt, but was also anxious. After a long time, he couldn't help asking: "Master, can it be cured?"

Jiang Qingfeng moved his hand away from his veins, and said calmly: "The poison accumulated for four or five years, I can't cure it."

Zhao Xu felt like falling into an ice cave when he heard this.

"It's only a recent relapse..."

Jiang Qingfeng said: "If there was an antidote for this kind of poison, it would be too late now."

Zhao Xu's lips trembled, "I remember, Uncle Huang used to come here when I was young, Uncle Huang..."

Jiang Qingfeng interrupted him, "He already left a few years ago."

The last glimmer of hope was cut off, and the expectations of the two before coming gradually sank to the bottom.

The number one genius doctor in the world, Huang Qi, is already dead.

So, who else can cure Jiang Yunya's illness?

Zhao Xu thought that his heart had been forged like iron over the years, so he would not be so sentimental anymore, but he couldn't help crying.

Jiang Yunya was beside him and said softly, "It's okay, Xiaoxu."

Zhao Xu choked up and said, "Thank you, master, just... even if there is no rule of law, we will live well."

Jiang Qingfeng looked at the sad look of the two, and raised his eyes, "Who said there is no rule of law?"

Zhao Xu, Jiang Yunya: "?!!"

Jiang Qingfeng said: "Your Brother Qin is not dead yet, why are you crying so anxiously.

The two of them were still in a sad place, and after hearing this sentence, they suddenly became enlightened.

Senior brother Qin is the only direct apprentice of Senior Uncle Huang Qi, Qin Heng used to follow Huang Qi to Qishan to visit.Although Huang Qi has passed away, his heirs may not be inferior.

The two experienced great joy and great sorrow in a short period of time, and they didn't know what expressions to make on their faces.

Zhao Xu heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Master, do you know where Brother Qin is wandering around now?"

Jiang Qingfeng said: "He is still in Pingyao, Brother Huang told him not to go out to treat others before he fully understood what he had learned."

Jiang Yunya said: "So, Xiaoxu and I will go to Pingyao to visit him."

Zhao Xu also nodded beside him, it was not too late, he had already thought about the fastest route from Qishan to Pingyao in his mind.

Jiang Qingfeng said, "Brother Huang has been dead for three years, do you think Qin Heng hasn't learned yet?"

Zhao and Jiang looked at each other, and after a while, their brows and eyes frowned.

Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Brother Qin must be lazy again."

Jiang Qingfeng turned back and put the chess pieces back into the wooden box, and said: "Today, I will write a book and ask him to come to Qishan. I have to wait for him to dawdle. I don't know when he will be willing to leave the mountain."

Jiang Yunya said: "Yes."

Zhao Xu pulled his sleeves and wanted to go out quietly.

Although Jiang Qingfeng didn't face the two of them, he seemed to have eyes behind his back and said, "Xiaoxu, you stay here and let Ya'er write by himself."

Zhao Xu suddenly wept and pulled Jiang Yunya to prevent him from leaving.

Seeing his reckless appearance, Jiang Yunya smiled fondly, shook his head, and said softly: "Xiao Xu, listen to the master, the brother is next door."

Zhao Xu wailed in his heart, but it was of no avail. He knew that his master's words could never be violated.Jiang Qingfeng was about to turn around, and Zhao Xu couldn't hold Jiang Yunya, so he had to let him go.

Jiang Qingfeng turned around and saw Zhao Xu was still looking at the door, "He's gone, turn your head around."

Zhao Xu turned his head obediently, and smiled brightly at Jiang Qingfeng, looking very cute.

He whispered: "Master, I will listen to everything you say today, so don't punish me."

Jiang Qingfeng said: "How do you know I'm going to punish you?"

Zhao Xu backed away calmly, and said, "I didn't listen to you, master, I was obsessed with sensuality, and neglected to practice..."

Jiang Qingfeng sneered, took down the long sword hanging from the wall and threw it to him, saying: "You don't know."

"Master, I was wrong."

Zhao Xu has always admitted his mistakes very straightforwardly and sincerely.

Jiang Qingfeng didn't look at him, and said: "Pick up the sword."

Zhao Xu had no choice but to take the sword.

"Think of me as your enemy."

"…Yes."

The sword energy was like a rainbow, and a cold light flashed in an instant, piercing the man in Taoist robe.

Jiang Qingfeng didn't dodge or dodge, but when the tip of the sword was an inch from his waist, he stopped still.

Zhao Xu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

His sword is no longer in his hand.

The long sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Jiang Qingfeng said coldly: "If I were really an enemy, you would have died just now."

Zhao Xu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Jiang Qingfeng said: "You must hold your sword at all times, remember?"

Zhao Xudao: "Disciple, please remember."

Jiang Qingfeng said again: "From now on, get up in the morning before the cock crows to practice swords, and don't eat breakfast if you are lazy."

Zhao Xu complied obediently, knowing that he could not complain, or he would be punished more.

And Jiang Qingfeng added another sentence: "Don't eat breakfast, people who practice martial arts should not be burdened." As he spoke, his gaze fell on Zhao Xu's waist, as if hinting.

Zhao Xu couldn't help gritting his teeth, and replied weakly: "I know."

Jiang Qingfeng said: "It's good to know, I will go down the mountain with your senior brother in a while, and harvest wheat for Uncle Xie at the foot of the mountain."

Zhao Xu's heart was ashamed, but he had to respond.

Just climbed up the mountain, and then went down again, isn't this intentional!

Don't you think I'm fat?Master, you can't say it clearly!

Zhao Xu couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for himself.

After Zhao Xu went out, he looked at his waist.Isn't it just that there is no muscle? Generally speaking, it is still flat, but it is a little bulging when you are full...

But it was all fed by Jiang Yunya and Jun Shu in turn, and Zhao Xu felt angry.

He usually has official duties during the day and is very busy, and he has important things to do at night.So tired at night, how can I get up early in the morning.

After going back and forth like this, no one will get fat.

Zhao Xu had selectively ignored the fact that Jiang Yunya's routine was exactly the same as his.
