Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

Ah Jin buried her head lower, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "I...why haven't I seen you with that person..."

Di Dongqing said: "Of course you have seen it."

"Is it Sister A-Tong?" A Jin raised her head suddenly, "Sister A-Tong is pretending to be a man now, and you are also a man, so you can't like her."

Di Dongqing didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Can't we like each other if we're both men?"

A Jin stared at him blankly: "...It's not impossible, but the habit of breaking sleeves is not something a gentleman does, and people will gossip about it. Unless you wait until Sister A Tong becomes the princess..."

As she spoke, she watched the expression of the person opposite, and saw that the other person remained indifferent, so she changed her words: "I'm sorry, did I guess wrong?"

Di Dongqing opened her mouth slowly, as if answering this simple question had become an extremely difficult task.But he still replied: "You guessed wrong, the person in my heart is a real man."

"who is it?"

"My master."

Ah Jin yelled, took a step back, and looked at him with wide eyes: "No wonder at that time, you...you..."

She will never forget, on the isolated island, how the young man in front of her stared at her master with such an urgent and unwilling look, which he had never shown in front of other people.

At this moment, there was only fatigue in his eyes.

Ah Jin said: "But... I have heard rumors that your master was originally a member of the Demon Cult and the murderer who killed the prince..."

Di Dongqing's expression froze.

Ah Jin immediately silenced, and after a while, she said cautiously: "I won't tell others about you and your master, but you can't..." She paused for a moment, then said, "You can't hurt me like this. Own."

Di Dongqing couldn't help clenching her fists, her lips trembled slightly, and she asked word by word: "I am willing, so what harm is there?"

Ah Jin just shook her head: "But...you are the son of Di Daxia, you don't have to be so reluctant, there will definitely be many people who admire you, and you will have everything you want."

Di Dongqing sighed and said, "But I don't want anything."

Fame and reputation are not what he wants, just like fallen leaves and dead branches floating above his head. He was born and died not to win respect and admiration.All he wanted was to stay with that person in the clear rivers and lakes.

He didn't say a word, but his stubbornness was written all over his face.

Ah Jin looked at him, bit her lip, and silently turned her head to hide the tears in her eyes.

A slender woman with a delicate mind like a needle, how could she not smell his stubbornness.

Di Dongqing also looked at A Jin, and was about to put his raised hand on her shoulder. His fingers froze in mid-air, then he retracted them, and said instead: "A Tong and the two young masters will be here soon, you first Go downstairs and wait, I'll be there soon."

Ah Jin nodded, and walked slowly out of the room. When she reached the door, she turned her head again and cast a long glance.

Di Dongqing kept staring at her, and that glance fell into his eyes, which no longer contained admiration and longing for the hero, but contained some sympathy and resentment, hesitant to speak.It was as if soft water condensed into ice edges, piercing into his heart one after another.

Until the sound of Ah Jin's footsteps disappeared, he still stood there, staring blankly at the door.

From now on, how many stings of ice edges will he have to face.

Just a few days ago, Qu Ying was also in this room, advising him that you should let your master go.

He has done it.He bid farewell to the Sri Lankan, cut off the nostalgia with his own hands, left a deep glance in the cold prison, and never looked back.

Turning around resolutely, he had exhausted all his will.He can abandon hatred and become a hero.But if he was asked to give up love, he definitely couldn't do it.

There is always stupidity in life.

The love he believes has already turned into a seed, deeply planted in his life, the roots are more luxuriant than the crown of the tree, even if the branches and leaves are turned into ashes, the entanglement buried deep in his heart cannot be solved.

How light is the hatred, how heavy is the kindness.

He took a deep breath, put on his clothes silently, folded the fronts of the clothes, flattened the belts, and tied his sideburns behind his head. Finally, his eyes fell on the pillow, and he couldn't take them away.

There is an old hair tie next to the pillow, the once white fabric is now slightly yellowed.

Now that he has his name and identity back, he no longer has to hide his forehead with a headband.

But as if he was insane, he silently picked up one end of the fabric and wrapped it between his fingers.

He pressed his fingers to his lips, letting the old and stiff silk rub against his lips, leaving a sudden sting.

He whispered: "Master, I miss you so much..."

No one answered his words.

It is still early in the morning, and the market is still intoxicated in the aftertaste of dreams.However, in every corner of the market, people have already woken up.

Some of them stayed up all night, some fell into light sleep, and some just got rid of the entanglement of nightmares.They rushed to Hongyi Medical Center from different directions through the hazy mist.

There were Si Yutong and Bai Xiuchuan who had just left the sickbed in Baifu.

There were Bai Yunfeng and Qu Ying, who had guarded the tower all night, with solemn faces.

There is Liang Xiao who survived a catastrophe, turned danger into safety, and had a clear expression.

They came to meet with Di Dongqing and A Jin to discuss extremely important matters, and they must not be heard by others.

Therefore, the Hongyi Medical Center put up a closed sign early in the morning and closed the door tightly.Qu Ying also called Zhong Qi and Xiao Rong's two children to stand guard outside the door.

After receiving an important explanation, children are always full of energy and determined to win.

So this morning, even the beggars were far away from them, and they couldn't get half a step closer to the medical center.

In the medical hall, everyone gathered around the table.Liang Xiao got up first, and put the evidence brought back from this trip on the table.

It was neither an edict, nor a military order, nor even an official document, but a contract.

The contract was drafted by the Ministry of Rites and distributed to a blacksmith shop called "Dianpo". From the standard to the official seal, it was in line with the standard, and it looked very ordinary at first glance.

Liang Xiao met everyone's questioning eyes and explained: "This contract is indeed nothing special, but recently, every blacksmith shop in Anyi City has signed a similar contract, and the content of the contract is to make a sacrifice to the gods. Ritual vessels, even the size and regulations are the same. My preliminary calculation is that if every family delivers the work on time, the number of ritual vessels will be enough to fill the prayer hall."

Si Yutong asked: "In the prayer hall, is there something big going to happen?"

Liang Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, the Ministry of Rites is preparing for a big sacrifice."

"Great festival?"

"As you all know, the hearts of the people are turbulent and rumors are everywhere. Therefore, Emperor Jian ordered the Ministry of Rites to hold a grand sacrifice. At that time, peach blossoms will be everywhere and divine blessings will be spread everywhere. The so-called 'heaven and earth will be overturned' rumors will be self-defeating. Those who are acquainted The head of the Ministry of Rites told me that even the Jiuding will be requisitioned for this great sacrifice."

"Nine cauldrons?" Bai Yunfeng wondered, "That is the most important weapon of the country. It has been placed in the imperial city and has never been seen by ordinary people."

"Yes, that's why we are extra cautious. The recent closure of the city and the increase of troops are all to ensure the order of the grand ceremony."

"So, the date of the great sacrifice has been set?"

"Although the edict has not been officially issued, the contract period is only one month, and I think the date of holding it should not be too far away."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although this news was not small, it was not big either. The Yu Kingdom is a country of gods, and every day the Son of Heaven had to offer sacrifices to the gods and pray to the heavens, but it was just a routine.This time it is nothing more than a more grand occasion. In order to maintain order and protect the safety of Jiuding, it is understandable to close the city and increase troops.

Bai Yunfeng said: "Thinking about the good, in this way, our reason for marching is even more sufficient. There is no reason for the prince not to participate in the grand ceremony."

Liang Xiao twirled his fan and said, "That's right, so I think this is good news."

Bai Yunfeng nodded, and turned to Si Yutong who was beside him, but saw that the latter frowned slightly, showing worry, and asked, "Brother, do you have concerns?"

Si Yutong was startled, but did not answer immediately, Bai Yunfeng changed his words and said: "If there is something hidden, I will not pursue it."

Si Yutong shook her head and said: "Since we are in the same boat with you, we should treat each other honestly. It's not a secret, but I have never seen this Jiuding before, so I can't help but be a little curious."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Even Your Highness has never seen it before, so it must be something extraordinary. It seems that this time it will open your eyes."

Infected by his cheerful look, Si Yutong put away her sad face and said with a light smile, "Mr. Liang said so."

Liang Xiao nodded and said, "I've explained my reasons clearly, Miss Ajin, why did you come here?"

Ah Jin kept her head buried in silence. When she heard her name, she finally mustered up her courage and said, "I'm here to ask for help. Not long ago, the Demon Cult attacked the place where we live, the Green Bamboo Courtyard."
