The three of them went up the mountain together and met Jiang Qingfeng.Qin Heng began to prepare for the configuration of the antidote.

Qin Heng said that the person who poisoned did not use deadly poison, but only intended to completely disable Jiang Yunya's eyes, so his life is safe for the time being.Qin Heng didn't have as much experience as his master, so he had to study medical books hard and try to prepare antidote.The medicinal materials he wanted were all rare, even in the treasure chest-like medicine box, there were only half of them.

Qin Heng prescribed a few doses of medicine first to delay the spread of the toxin, as a temporary measure.

The moon came out, illuminating the world as clear as silver.Zhao Xu was ordered by Jiang Qingfeng to practice sword until late at night, and when his clothes were drenched, he fetched water to take a bath, and went back to his room to sleep.

The mountain was quiet, seemingly uninhabited. Zhao Xu stayed alone in a room, but couldn't sleep.He got up and put on only his coat, and quietly jumped into Jiang Yunya's room through the window.

Jiang Yunya was sleepy and alert, and opened his eyes as soon as the window was pushed open.Didn't see clearly, that black shadow had already got into the quilt like a slippery fish.

"Xiaoxu—"

With a familiar aura, Jiang Yunya knew it was Zhao Xu without looking at that person's face.

Zhao Xu's hands and feet were cold, and he slipped into Jiang Yunya's quilt suddenly, and was so warm that he couldn't help sighing: "Brother, you are so warm here." Like an octopus, Zhao Xu entangled Jiang Yunya, never He draws warmth from his body.

Jiang Yunya hugged him tighter, not paying attention to the chill on his body, and asked, "Aren't you sleepy?"

Zhao Xu said: "Sleepy, but I miss you more." His hand stroked down the man's strong and strong chest.

The breathing of both of them couldn't help being a little heavy, but also carefully suppressed, with an ambiguous warmth.

Jiang Yunya held his restless hand in the palm of his hand, and said, "Don't move again, or you will catch fire if you move again."

Zhao Xu buried himself in his chest, giggled and whispered in his ear, "I'm already on fire."

The moonlight from outside the window added brightness to the dark interior.The eyes of each other were shining like stars, Jiang Yunya turned over, lowered his head, and held his lips.

A soft and lingering kiss, occasionally with the sound of water, the two deliberately suppressed it.

They are already very familiar people, but every time they touch each other, the depths of their souls tremble, eagerly longing for each other.some more.

It seems that there is no need for novelty, a lifetime is too short, how can we have enough time to understand each other.

And yet—no more.

They are tacit.

There is almost no sound insulation here, and the master's residence is next to it. People who practice martial arts have good ears and eyes, so they naturally don't want to be heard.They all tacitly stopped the kiss.

Zhao Xunuan came over, his hands and feet were no longer cold, he leaned into Jiang Yunya's strong arms, and muttered softly: "I can't help it."

Jiang Yunya chuckled, and tucked his quilt tightly again.

Zhao Xudao: "Brother, do you know? I fell in love with you first."

Jiang Yunya shook his head lightly, as if his heart was soaked in honey.

Zhao Xu said again: "I was really hopeless at that time. You obviously ignored me for so many years, and still thought about you. You said you can't be hateful, I wrote so many letters and didn't reply to me?"

Jiang Yunya was stunned, and said, "I have never received your letter."

Zhao Xu was also stunned: "Huh?"

Jiang Yunya said: "After you went down the mountain, there was no news. The master only told me to practice martial arts well. In the future, I will join the army and have a bright future so that I can stand behind you and help you." He said with a wry smile, and said: " Until I see you again in Chang'an, I dare not show up, fearing that I am not strong enough to protect you."

Zhao Xu shrank his whole body into his arms, put his hands around his body, thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "It must be the master's intention to not give you my letter, so as to stimulate you to hurry up." Make a name for yourself."

Jiang Yunya combed his hair with cross fingers, and said softly, "Master is kind."

Zhao Xu reluctantly responded, "But at least I'll write back, I thought at the beginning that you all don't want me anymore."

As he spoke, there was some grievance in his voice.When he mentioned it again, his heart still felt sore.

"My mother's family has already lost people because of that catastrophe. In Chang'an, I am the only one. If it wasn't for Lin Bo and Qian Shan, I would have died many times..."

The first few years were the most difficult. His nominal brother was afraid of his return and stumbled secretly.Most of the dignitaries held disdain for this prince who was born among the people, secretly preparing to watch him laugh.His father, the emperor, is more like a symbol of sitting on the throne, a symbol of supreme power.

The only person who can make Zhao Xu feel a little bit of family comfort is the imperial grandmother in the deep palace, the gray-haired one who always calls his child's grandmother with a warm smile.

The wanderer was homesick and returned to his real hometown at that time, but Zhao Xu missed Qishan thousands of miles away.

In the middle of the night, in the gorgeous but deserted palace, the thin young man always wrote one letter after another, carefully choosing his words, reporting good news but not worrying.

However, those snowflake-like letters are really like snowflakes, and there will be no news after they disperse.

Jiang Yunya lowered his head to kiss his hair lightly, it was as soft as silk.

He said softly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Xu... never again."

Never make you feel so insecure again.

In the future, at least by my side, you don't have to be the humble and prudent Prince Jin, but you can be an ordinary person who can get angry and sad.

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

Woke up the next morning feeling refreshed.Zhao Xu hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, but he couldn't be content with the warm bedding, so he got up early to practice sword.

When Qin Heng got up early in the morning, he saw Jiang Yunya was carrying the morning meal and walking into the house.

"Where's Xiaoxu?" Qin Heng asked.When it's time to eat, isn't he very active?

Jiang Yunya smiled helplessly, and said, "Master banned his breakfast."

Qin Heng laughed loudly, and said unfairly, "Then there will be one less person grabbing food, just right."

As they were talking, they all shut their mouths when they saw Jiang Qingfeng push the door open.Don't talk when eating, don't talk when sleeping, they were taught by Jiang Qingfeng since childhood, and they all remember it very accurately.

A quiet breakfast, occasionally there is the sound of birdsong outside the window, and the news of this spring's flowers blooming through the door panel.

Zhao Xu held the sword, and Fang came back from the bamboo forest, dripping with water.He could smell the aroma of rice from a long distance away, but he could only force himself not to go in that direction.After scooping up some clear spring water and washing briefly, Zhao Xu went back to the house to change clothes.

Opening the clothes cabinet, there was a bulge under a layer of thin shirt. Zhao Xu opened it and saw that it was a glutinous rice cake wrapped in several layers of paper, steaming.

My heart warmed up.I remember that when he first arrived in Qishan, he was very hungry, and it was Jiang Yunya who steamed some glutinous rice cakes for him.

Gobbling it voraciously, Zhao Xu ate quickly, and then conveniently fell to the ground to destroy the corpse.

The thin cherry blossoms and rhododendrons on the mountain are already in full bloom, igniting a fiery red glow in the sky.Zhao Xu went out to find Qin Heng, and they still wanted to find the remaining medicinal materials today.And Qin, Jiang and Jiang Yunya happened to walk out of the door at the same time, Qin Heng was holding a bowl in his hand, with a helpless expression on his face.

The weather was just right, and people's mood improved a lot. Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Master is good!" Then he looked at Qin Heng and said, "Senior Brother Qin, who is this?"

Because Jiang Qingfeng was in front of him, Qin Heng only smiled gently, and said lightly, "Wash the dishes."

Zhao Xu held back his smile and secretly looked at Jiang Yunya, his brother's eyes were also crooked.

Jiang Qingfeng asked: "How is your sword practice?"

Zhao Xu responded obediently, Jiang Qingfeng nodded slightly, and said, "How about Ya'er's eyes?"

Jiang Yunya said: "It's better."

Qin Heng didn't have the mood of reporting good news but not worrying like him, and said: "Many medicinal materials are missing, and they are very rare. I'm afraid it won't last."

Jiang Qingfeng responded lightly, and meditated alone.

The three of them looked at each other in the same place, but Zhao Xu calmed down the somewhat confused atmosphere, and said with a smile, "I have to hurry up and look for it."

Qin Heng said yes, and he was still carrying the bowl.

Zhao Xu said sincerely: "I'm really bothering Senior Brother Qin, let's talk about it after washing the dishes first."

Qin Heng was touched by the first half of the sentence, and after listening to it, he glanced at him, "If you eat breakfast too, you should have done the washing!" After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh, and went to the kitchen resignedly.

But what he didn't know was that this person was actually prescribed by someone.

There is no time in the mountains, and every minute passes quickly. Zhao Xu felt that it was just chatting with his senior brother and reading military books for a while, so it was almost noon.Qin Heng was called away by his master, they didn't know what to do in the house, and Jiang and Zhao couldn't disturb him.While cooking, Zhao Xu went to help Jiang Yunya, but in fact he was stealing food from the side, and Jiang Yunya pretended not to see it.

The sun gradually moved westward from the highest place, Jiang Yunya reheated the food, and only then did he see the master and Qin Heng coming out of the room.

Qin Heng's face was flushed red with excitement. He had always had a fair complexion, so he looked like cherry blossom petals falling suddenly from the white snow.

It was time for dinner, Qin Heng knew that he had no choice but to speak, but he was very happy, and gave the two of them a smug look.Jiang and Zhao knew it would be good news, so they suppressed their curiosity and finished their meal in a proper manner.

Zhao Xu has always been unable to bear it. He has the same temperament as Qin Heng in this regard, and the two quickly finished their meal and planned to slip away.

Jiang Qingfeng's gaze didn't fall in their direction, but he took a chopstick of vegetables and said, "Xiaoxu stay here."

Qin Heng looked at him sympathetically, and Zhao Xu had no choice but to return to his seat and sit down.

After the meal, Zhao Xu followed Jiang Qingfeng into the house, Qin Heng couldn't help it, Jiang Qingfeng just left, and said: "Brother Ya, you have all the medicine!"

Jiang Yunya was surprised: "So fast?"

Qin Heng had a yearning look on his face, and said, "You don't know, there are all kinds of rare medicinal materials in Master Jiang's stone room." yes!

Qin Heng said with emotion: "It's getting harder and harder to see through Uncle Jiang, why can he know all kinds of martial arts, and he has all kinds of rare treasures."

Jiang Yunya smiled and said nothing.

He only knew from Zhao Xu's description that Jiang Qingfeng was the eldest son of the Jiang family, the first family in the martial arts world, and even the designated heir.After that, his fate was ill-fated, and he didn't know all kinds of things.Jiang Yunya studied martial arts with Jiang Qingfeng since he was a child. He knew that although Jiang Qingfeng was no longer in Jiang's family, he had a wide range of friends. It seemed that he had friends in the whole world.Mr. Huang Qi - Qin Heng's master, isn't he also one of Jiang Qingfeng's many friends.

The high mountains stop, and the scenery stops.No matter how hard the boy tries to catch up with the tall shadow he erected when he was young, he seems to be able to only look up.

………………

The interior decoration is simple, all of which are common things in ordinary people's homes.Only the long sword hanging on the wall and the guqin on the table are not commonplace at first glance.

Jiang Qingfeng led him into the house, without saying a word, just took off the long sword and handed it to Zhao Xu.

"master…"

Zhao Xu was surprised, he knew that Jiang Qingfeng cherished this sword the most, and would wipe it carefully every day.

Jiang Qingfeng said lightly: "Take it for you, don't insult my sword."

Zhao Xu was moved and nodded: "Thank you, master."

Jiang Qingfeng pulled out the nail on the wall that was used to hang the sword, his eyes wandered in the air, and said indifferently, "Xiao Xu, you know that my sword skills are not inferior to the sword skills."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, lowering his eyes.

"You and Ya'er were both taught by me, and there is no selfishness towards anyone. Now you think to yourself, how far is it from your senior brother?"

"I am ashamed..."

Jiang Qingfeng said: "Master, I know that you have heavy official duties on weekdays, and you are surrounded by many people with high martial arts skills to protect you, but you have to remember that you can only rely on yourself in the end."

After a pause, he said again: "Although Ya'er's qualifications are not as good as yours, but his heart is persevering, you should understand that you have been with him for these years."

Zhao Xu lowered his head and remained silent.

He understood that he had been a little frivolous these days, and the master's beating came just in time.There have always been people who pretended to be smart and let their laziness go, but they rarely achieved great things.

Zhao Xu said seriously: "Remember this, don't dare to do this again."

His swordsmanship has been relying on his laurels for the past few years, and he has never improved. He is incomparable with Jiang Yunya.Zhao Xu used to think that there would always be a senior brother by his side, but now that he thinks about it, the excuses are all made by himself. If he wants to spend a lifetime with someone sincerely, he must at least have the strength to match him, right?

Jiang Qingfeng nodded slightly: "Don't blame the master for demanding too much from you, you have to remember that you have the last blood of the Shangguan family in your body."

His eyes became deep, and a trace of pain suddenly flashed across: "Always remember, the hatred and responsibility in you."

Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat, his throat felt a little dry.

"Master, what do you know?"

Over the years, he has been investigating the fact that Shangguan's family was falsely accused of treason.His mother and concubine, Shangguan Ling, burned herself in the fire. They said she was a murderer, and she was afraid of crime.Even if the grievances were vindicated in the end, the people who passed away would never come back.

Moreover, has the grievance really been vindicated?Can the Shangguan family's treason evidence be produced just by those few officials who are not up to the second rank?Every time Zhao Xu thinks about this, he can't help feeling cold and angry—the hundreds of lives of his mother's family have been prevaricated with a few dead ghosts, but the real murderer is still at large!

Jiang Qingfeng arrived at the table without knowing when, and plucked a string, the sound of the piano was clanging, with a sense of chilling rushing towards his face.

He said: "This piano was originally given to me by your mother."

Zhao Xu's eyes flickered, he quietly suppressed his surprised expression, and listened quietly to what he said.

Jiang Qingfeng caressed a few thin bamboo branches carved on the piano, with a calm expression, as if recalling a story that did not belong to him.

"When I was crowned for the first time, I came to Chang'an to play. Your mother was only Biyu's age, and she was also admiring lanterns at the Lantern Market... She recognized the wrong person, because I was wearing the same mask as her maid."

He continued: "Then, when I was going back to Yizhou, she secretly left home and followed me."

Zhao Xu understood why his master was willing to take him in for more than ten years and to pass on what he had learned all his life.He didn't feel much in his heart, he just felt a little regretful.He even had some hope in his heart, if the master and mother were together at the beginning, they must be an enviable couple, and the tragedy after that would not happen.

But the most cruel thing is that the moon is always full and waning, and people are rarely full.

A young girl who is ignorant of the world, meets a person she likes, and boldly follows him for the first time in her life to become his wife.Jiang Qingfeng didn't know the identity of the girl he fell in love with at first sight at the time. He had such a temperament, so he didn't need to know, just knowing that this would be enough for him to hold hands with him for the rest of his life.Jiang Qingfeng is the next Patriarch of the Jiang Clan in Yizhou, the most noble family in Wulin.It seemed that God was so attached to him that he let his bride go on the wedding night.He has never softened his heart towards his opponents, and has always sealed his throat with a sword, but his heart is as confused as a numbness when he sees a tear from his beloved.Shangguan Ling wanted to return to Chang'an, because she was selected into the palace, if she did not enter the palace, the entire Shangguan family would be implicated.

Zhao Xu watched the man calmly narrate, feeling suffocated, only when they were so close to each other, did he realize that the master had so many gray hairs on his temples.

He is no longer young.

Jiang Qingfeng said, smiling, like Chun Xue who suddenly melted: "The most unforgettable thing I did in my life was to break into the palace. At that time, we even thought about how to deal with it. The imperial concubine was suffering from leprosy and died. And died, I didn't expect it to become a prophecy..."

The servant girl who followed Shangguanling since she was a child saw that her young lady was thin and thin, so she proposed a method, willing to die on behalf of the young lady.When she came into contact with leprosy patients, because there was no cure for the disease, her body would gradually fester, so she couldn't see her appearance clearly.Shangguan Ling didn't want to, but the maid couldn't bear it and secretly acted like this.

The arrow is on the string and has to be launched, everything is planned perfectly.

Jiang Qingfeng sneered, "At that time, I was so proud, I never thought that there would be someone in this world who could try to fight me."

Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Is it the Sixteen Guards?"

"I can't remember, it was a white-haired one who pestered me for 27 moves, and it took half a stick of incense."

The time for half a stick of incense is enough to change the ending of the story.
