In the evening, King Huaiyuan arrived at his ninth uncle's residence as scheduled.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, beside a clump of green bamboos, Long Zhang was wearing a blue military uniform holding a sword, and a white crane was playing with a blue bird.

The white crane trims its neck and snow feathers, and the blue bird looks like gold and green.King Huaiyuan loves birds like his life, and he couldn't take his eyes off him: "Uncle Jiu, these two are good, let me take them back!"

Long Zhang looked at King Huaiyuan curiously. Baihe seemed to understand people's words. Jumping around.

King Huaiyuan was overjoyed when he saw it, he stepped forward and wanted to touch the white crane: "This is a female, and there is a male in my residence, it will just give birth to a nest when I bring it home."

When Pei Heng and Long Zhang heard the nonsense, they felt bad. Sure enough, they saw the white crane smashed its long beak, leaned its body slightly, scratched its slender legs and claws on the spot a few times, and then let out a long beep, and flapped its wings. He ran towards King Huaiyuan, who turned pale with fright, turned his head around to avoid screaming, walked around the yard three times before being rescued by Xu Jin who heard the sound.

Xu Jin took the white crane's long neck and wings and threw it into the side yard. King Huaiyuan panted and followed Pei Heng to change clothes and eat in embarrassment.

At the dinner table, the little girl Baihe who had turned back into a human form had a quiet demeanor. Long Zhang and King Huaiyuan were about the same age, and they were both descendants of aristocratic families, so they could quite chat together.

"Long Zhang, I heard from Sun Xiaoyi that you are very skilled. The capital is so boring. You don't plan to follow your uncle into the Xiling Division. Why don't you come back to Huaiyin with me and train you with [-] troops within two years?" " Huaiyuan Wang rolled up his sleeves with a smile, and hooked his shoulders with Long Zhang in a very awkward manner.

Long Zhang stretched his waist, and his tiny braids swayed slightly as he shook his head: "I haven't played enough in the capital, I probably still want to enter the Xiling Division, that's the job of serving the imperial court, Shu Tan And majestic."

Bai He looked at the two raccoon dogs who didn't need to be beaten, and felt it was an eyesore, so he hid next to Pei Heng after eating, and performed his filial piety by pinching his shoulders and thumping his back.

After King Huaiyuan left, Xu Jin stretched out his fingers and wiped the tiny beads of sweat on the tip of Long Zhang's nose: "I thought you would have to count the money if you were sold, but I didn't expect you to be quick-witted and learn to hide your clumsiness to fool people."

Long Zhang chuckled: "Huaiyuan King can't take care of Zhaowu Camp and Yanyun Army, even if I don't join Zhaowu, I will of course stand by the prince's side unwaveringly."

Long Zhang seems heartless, but all the children of Jingzhong, who have only been influenced by their ears and eyes since childhood, also have a steelyard in their hearts.He worshiped King Rui since he was a child, and after learning of Pei Heng's identity, he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep for three days on the way back to Beijing.Due to the old affairs between his uncle and Prince Rui's mansion, he may not be able to enter Zhaowu in Northern Xinjiang, but he will never follow King Huaiyuan either.

Pei Heng laughed beside him and said, "The brats have all grown up."

These words are very meaningful. Huaiyuan King Peixiu, now 13 years old, looks like a dandy who plays with cats and dogs all day long, but actually holds the fiefdom of Huaiyin and guards a large area of ​​fertile land in the Central Plains. He is also a big official of the frontier.When the young man grows up and his mind changes, he may not be willing to be an idle prince in the future, and it is unknown what the situation will be with Pei Heng and Pei Huan.

Sending off Huaiyuan King, Xu Jin disappeared at some point and did not come back after more than an hour. When he returned to the mansion, he first went to look for Jin Yu.

Pei Heng, who was wandering around the mansion searching for Xu Jin's figure, came over, saw Xu Jin stuffing something into Jin Yu's hand through half a corner of the corridor, and raised his eyebrows: "The mansion is private, drag it out to beat the board!"

Jin Yu took the things and hurried away, Xu Jin turned around and walked over, with a half-smile and said: "How many big boards do you want?"

Pei Heng looked up and down: "Such a handsome man, twenty years old, just a small punishment."

Xu Jin walked a little closer, stood still in the corridor, withdrew his smile slightly, and there was a hint of firmness and inexplicability in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Can you ask the prince to do it yourself? I will never resist the punishment."

The last ray of sunset in the evening cast from the sky to the eaves of the corridor, reflecting his deep eyes like glass, and also reflecting the joke like a vow of eternal love.

Pei Heng thought that he was a monster, and when he glanced down, he saw a little mud and moss on the side of Xu Jin's boots, and when he looked closely, he found that the hem of his robe was also stained with dust and mud, so he held Xu Jin's forearm, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I haven't seen anyone for more than an hour. What bad things have you done?"

Xu Jin saw that he was aware of every detail and could not escape anything, so he pushed Pei Heng to turn around, and walked forward: "Why, don't you miss me?"

Pei Heng thought to himself that he wandered back and forth from the front yard to the back yard twice in the mansion. He didn't know whether he missed him or not. He held Xu Jin's hand and looked back at him, but found a small wound on the edge of his collar with a dark gold skirt. It healed in a blink of an eye, and it was obviously a serious new injury that recovered to the last moment, and he caught it right away.

"Why is it dirt and a wound?" Pei Heng's expression became serious.

Xu Jin was afraid that he would worry too much, so he had to tell the truth: "I went to the outskirts of the city. Wen Ge said today that he will adjust the prescription, and the medicine is out of stock in Beijing."

"Did you gather medicine or went to fight? You can't buy it outside, and there will always be one in the Royal Curry, so just go to the Imperial Hospital." Pei Heng gently opened his collar with his fingertips and took another look.

"Fresh medicine is better than processed medicine. There will be no freshly picked medicine in the palace." Xu Jin slightly lowered his head, and Xiuye's chin lightly rubbed against the back of his fingers.

Pei Heng didn't move, and let him touch so intimately for a while before withdrawing his hand, the warmth on his fingers rippling slightly.

He knew that the medicine must be a delicate and delicate medicine that is extremely difficult to pick, and he could not use any spiritual power when approaching it, otherwise it would wither immediately, and maybe it would still grow in a certain cliff, so he had to climb up it with his hands and feet and light skills.

He involuntarily slowed down his voice: "You are not allowed to do this in the future. No matter how bad the effect of the medicine is, it will only affect the few days when you change the prescription. It's not worth the hard work."

Xu Jin looked at him seriously, her thick black and clear eyes could almost look into his heart: "It's worth it, how could it not be worth it?"

The twilight of Jiangling sinks in the lingering ambiguity in the air, and the mist filled with the fragrance of flowers embraces the setting sun and falls on the bottom of the river. The flowering period of hibiscus in Wangfu is very long, from late spring to autumn.

Pei Heng turned around and stepped out of the corridor.As soon as he stretched out his hand, he caught a hibiscus flower that was spinning and falling slowly, and brought the end of the flower to Xu Jin's lips: "Sweet."

Xu Jin took his hand, and pressed the gorgeous flower lightly with her thin lips, and the tip of her tongue touched a hint of sweetness.

The white crane rushed over excitedly, and Pei Heng gave her one too, and the lanterns under the corridors of the palace were lit one by one, and the white crane looked up to count the stars in the courtyard, and asked: "My lord, since you stay with the prince, do you want to go?" How about helping the prince lead troops to fight?"

Xu Jin said casually; "He's not in charge of the military now, isn't it good for him to take care of his health?"

Bai He sighed: "There is no long-term stability in the world. I have seen everywhere in the past few years, and there are uprisings and wars every now and then. Those small countries in the outer regions change their emperors in the blink of an eye. Changing dynasties is like eating."

Pei Heng's heart skipped a beat. When he talked with Xu Jin about the battle of Dayan in the past, he discovered that Xu Jin could always point out the key points uniquely and skillfully when deploying troops in formation and leading according to the situation.He knows countless people, and with Xu Jin's ability, as long as he is willing to adapt, he can become a general or a military commander, but he feels that these mundane affairs are too disturbing and he should not be involved.

Leaning on the porch pillar, holding the hibiscus in his hand, Xu Jin said: "Baihe, do you think that war is just a joke, no dynasty or generation has ever let demons lead soldiers to fight, don't we understand that? "

Bai He refused to accept: "My lord, you rule all demons, command all demons in the world, and let several demon armies fight each other in the evil law, and finally they all bow to you. Now it's not in vain to be a sinister and cunning general!" a trip?"

Xu Jin also remembered how he subdued the evil state, and was a little embarrassed for a while, and said coldly: "Sinister and cunning?"

Pei Heng leaned over, as if he wanted to see Xu Jin clearly under the dim light of the lantern, his phoenix eyes smiled: "If you stay here for a long time, maybe this day will come."

Xu Jin was suddenly approached by him, subconsciously looked back, but behind him was already a vermilion lacquered colonnade.

Pei Heng's eyes were slightly raised, and his body was frosty and pink, and he teased softly: "I don't know if my general...would you like it?"

Xu Jin felt as though a piece of the lightest and most gorgeous tulle had swept across his ears, and was almost distracted by Pei Heng's words. He turned his head to look at the moon rising in the east, and pulled Pei Heng across the courtyard, prevaricating Said: "Go to the palace tomorrow, go to bed early."

Perhaps too many things happened that day, Xu Jin felt that he had just fallen asleep when he heard the servant's knock on the door.

A servant from the mansion brought a set of dark dresses, black with beads and gray patterned southern fabrics, with a low-key and calm luster under the light, faintly visible waves of brocade patterns, and the arrow sleeves cross-collared, straight and neat.

Xu Jin's usual clothes are all made of shark silk from the East China Sea. He hadn't tried this kind of clothes before, so he changed into them with great interest.

This is the style chosen by Prince Rui. This finely crafted robe makes Xu Jin even more noble. The waist is tall and wide, which is between the warrior's dress and the prince's dress, making his seductive face more prominent. A hint of inaccessible danger.

Pei Heng watched him walking towards him from the other end of the long corridor, his slender figure in the straight and fine clothes, outlining the shadow against the light, under the eaves dripping with rain, the falling flowers in the courtyard were scattered along with the morning light.It seems that what he walked firmly was not a corridor among flowers, but many missed times.

A thought came to his mind: Is it just this moment for 1000 years or 1 years?
