Square inch by Kyushu

tonight.

The month is originally a bright moon.

After midnight, it was covered by layers of dense clouds.

The bright moonlight is almost invisible.

The forest is originally lush.

In the middle of the night, there are only ghostly shadows and dangers everywhere.

Even the fragrance of plants suddenly became cold and overwhelming.

In this eerie darkness, not far away, there are two faint blue flowers floating in mid-air, like a ghost in the middle of the night, still yearning for the world.

But following the blue ghost are two neat black shadows, leisurely shuttling through the dense forest in the dark night.

"Did I bring your realgar bag?" Li Muge asked while walking quickly.

"The treasure in this general's hands is tens of millions, why do you need that kind of 'trash'?" Ji Yiran said, throwing up the powder in his hand, only to hear a rustling sound from the surroundings, and looking carefully, it seemed that there were many black shadows running away from them.

"Don't make too much noise, and be careful of being discovered." Li Muge's eyes showed hesitation.

"Hmph, I have my own measure." Ji Yiran snorted coldly, and didn't pay him any attention.

At this time, Li Muge suddenly stopped his fast running pace, made a silent movement to Ji Yiran behind him, and began to walk slowly and cautiously.

Ji Yiran was very cooperative this time, following closely behind every step of the way.

The "Blue Abyss Butterfly" leading the way was flying left and right. At this time, it hovered behind a towering ancient fir and stopped.

Seeing this, Li Muge walked over cautiously.Across the huge tree trunk, I saw a wooden house not far away.

"I'm afraid that the black-robed man's lair is ahead, but before we enter his lair, we must first find a way to avoid the snakes, insects, rats and ants here." Li Muge kept his voice to a minimum, lest he would alarm the many poisons lurking ahead.

"I have a poison that kills people instantly, and it's probably more than enough to deal with these poisons." Before Ji Yiran finished speaking, his hands were already shining with green light.

When Li Muge saw that he said he would spread poison, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, and said eagerly: "You know that there are thousands of poisons ahead, if they don't die at the same time, our whereabouts will be exposed immediately!"

As soon as he was in a hurry, his voice raised unconsciously.So the rustling sound in front immediately increased, and I wonder if they have been spotted.

At this time, the "Blue Abyss Butterfly" on his shoulder also suddenly became restless, and the frequency of flapping its wings was obviously accelerated.

"The matter has come to this point, and it will be a matter of time before it is discovered. It is better to put all your eggs in one basket than to sit still and wait for death!" Ji Yiran took advantage of Li Muge's recovery of the "Lanyuan butterfly", and he had already turned around and stepped on the leaf tips of the bushes, several times back and forth. Sprinkled into the front of the poison.

The wait is long, even if it is only a few seconds, it is like sitting on pins and needles.

When the darkness ahead was still as usual, Li Muge and Ji Yiran let out a long breath at the same time.

"It seems that I underestimated you." Li Muge smiled, his face full of admiration.

"Of course!" Ji Yiran has always thought highly of himself, and accepts all compliments from others, never understanding what "modestness" is.This has a lot to do with the fact that he was already in control of power when he was young.

After settling the troubles in front of them, Li Muge and Ji Yiran didn't dare to take it lightly.

Without touching the ground, they passed over the "poisonous corpses" on the ground, and they quietly landed in front of the wooden house.Looking through the window, I felt that the inside of the house was actually darker than the outside.

"There should be no one in the house." Ji Yiran's ears moved slightly, and he had already heard the situation in the house.I saw him standing up straight, and just like that, he pushed the door openly and entered.

Li Muge followed closely behind and followed in.The moment he lifted his foot, an imperceptible smile flashed across his eyes.

In the house, there is actually nothing horrifying or frightening as they imagined, nor any earth-shattering secrets, it is just a simple living room.

A carved wooden bed, a brocade screen, a dressing table, a wooden stool, a coffee table and two wicker chairs.

The bed was lightly covered with an unfolded quilt, and a few plain flowers and brocade clothes were scattered; the silver comb on the dressing table was still entangled with a few strands of hair, and half of the rouge was used to cover it, but I was ashamed; the tea set on the coffee table was still very new. But half of the tea left in the cup is old and tasteless.

Although the whole room is not different from the houses that we usually see, it seems to be done on purpose.Looking carefully, every part of this wooden house seems to be random, but it is all deliberate, and every ordinary place is carefully designed, and all the painstaking efforts are just for some restoration.

"Isn't this a woman's boudoir?" Ji Yiran looked at everything in front of him, as if he was asking Li Muge and talking to himself.

"I'm afraid it's the owner's room of that bracelet." Li Muge picked up the jade bracelet that was placed in front of the dressing table, and shook it to Ji Yiran.

Ji Yiran nodded, and at this time also saw the silver hairpins that were sent back to the man in black just this afternoon.

"I didn't expect this murderer to be an infatuated species?" Li Muge clicked his tongue twice, and put the jade bracelet back in its original place with some regret.

"Murderer? Infatuated species? It's just immoral!" Ji Yiran is very clear about the relationship between this black-robed man and his clan.Hearing this at this time, he was naturally unhappy.

"Although Ji Changting snatched the emperor's wife and eloped away this time, they are a couple who really love each other, not to mention that your emperor's uncle is cruel and has never let them go, why are you so filled with righteous indignation?" The voice came from Li Muge It came out of his mouth, but it was no longer Li Muge's voice.The voice was deep and mellow, wrapping people's ears tightly like silk satin, gorgeous but not exaggerated, graceful but majestic.

Ji Yiran was startled, and when he realized the situation was different, his body immediately reacted before his brain.

Originally, his reaction was fast enough, but Li Muge's shot was faster than him.It was so fast that the naked eye couldn't reach it, and instantly sealed the major acupuncture points all over his body.

"Do you think the world is just a group of 'martial arts' playing games with you every day? His Majesty King Xiang." Li Muge slowly withdrew his index finger and stood alone.

The faint moonlight pierced through the vermilion panes and hit his body, coating his blurred outline with a layer of icy cold light.

Ji Yiran looked at the ominous silhouette with a blank face, and said coldly: "Aren't you 'Li Muge'"? .Although it was a question, he said it with absolute certainty!

The corners of Li Muge's lips twitched slightly, and he casually tossed the jade fan that never left his hand, calmly took out a blood jade mask inlaid with golden butterflies from his arms, slowly put it on his face, shook his head and said: "No! I am Li Muge , Li Muge is Li Wuming. But you, Ji Yiran, are not 'Li Wuming'".

At this point, some truths are clearly revealed.

Although unexpected, it is also reasonable.

At this moment, Ji Yiran's brain began to run at a high speed, and quickly sorted out the cause and effect of all this: Masked General Li Wuming has always shown others with a mask, and there are very few people in this world who can see his true face.Otherwise, how could he see through his identity in such a remote place unless he himself?

No wonder he was obviously hostile to him from the very beginning, without any respect.

However, is this encounter really accidental or causal inevitability?If it is a coincidence, it is too intertwined, if it is inevitable, his trip is extremely secretive, unless he is a god, who can be considered exhaustive?

Thousands of calculations are undergoing thousands of changes in his mind, but the words he uttered are watertight: "General Li has spent so much time to lure me into the net, it can be regarded as another great contribution to the country of Xi."

"Blessed by luck, I never thought that in such a remote place, I would unexpectedly meet a majestic monarch." Li Muge shook his head and laughed.

"Oh? In this way, the unexpected encounter between the lonely king and the general is just a coincidence of bad luck? I wonder if it is also a coincidence that General Li concealed his name and joined the rivers and lakes with a commoner?" Ji Yiran no longer concealed the identity of the king. , the tone is naturally more aloof.

"If you want to know the origin of Gu'an, His Majesty King Xiang doesn't need to make insinuations like this. This general has already received a tip. You didn't break your word about the 'Zhufeng Tower', so I won't break my word either."

Hearing this, Ji Yiran suddenly felt a little nervous.Seeing the other party opening his mouth to speak again, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

The answer is close at hand.

However, he was eager to see through.

Li Muge curved his peach eyes, his usual teasing was full of playfulness.Things seem to be more interesting than he imagined, or is it right in his "imagination"?

Therefore, he did not directly tell Ji Yiran the answer he wanted to hear.Instead, he asked a question: "Ji Yiran, why do you care so much about that person named 'Gu Yanxi'?"

Hearing this for the first time, Ji Yiran's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help showing a momentary sense of loss on his face.

In the past three years, no one has ever mentioned this name in front of him, let alone asked about his relationship with Gu Yanxi.

They have a king and a minister.

Over the years, monarchs and ministers have dealt with each other to check and balance each other.As time passed, it seemed that in the eyes of the world, there was only one word "Quan" left between them.

And as for the rest... there is no other!

However, after falling asleep and before waking up, those dusty memories are always circulating scene after scene, reminding him hoarsely that there is more than just monarchs and ministers between them, there is not only power between them, there are many things between them. Many other things.

For example, brotherhood, friendship.And...his secret love for him...I still remember the ten-year agreement by Chunhua Pool,

I also recalled that under the moon sandalwood, I talked happily,

Also traced back through the desert solitary smoke and setting sun side by side,

Have you ever remembered that under the moon, you are still drunk with joy.

That year, when Changping was victorious, Gu Yanxi returned triumphantly with Xiangguang Emperor Ji Changfeng, and came to Dongxiang for the first time.

Prince Ji Yiran was ordered to pick him up at Dongxuan Gate.Thousands of troops and horses came invincibly, but in the rolling wind and dust, there was only a touch of whiteness. The valiant young man was full of heroism, and he followed Xiangguang Emperor Wu neither humble nor overbearing.

That was the first time he saw Gu Yanxi, although it was only a quick glance, but it was engraved in his heart.

And the second time I saw him, it was by the school.That day, the cold spring was still there, but the young man's smile made him happy.

Later, he became his accompanying reader.

Later, he became his teacher again.

During those long youthful years, the two slept and ate together, and they got to know each other year after year. They loved each other more than siblings.

It was also at that time that he realized that the faint fragrance on Gu Yanxi's body was a rare floral fragrance called Moon Sandalwood, which came from the extremely cold place in the Northeast.The moon sandalwood Gu cultivated by this flower resides in his body, so he carries this fragrance on his body.

So far, as long as he smells this fragrance, he will think of him.

After the war broke out, Gu Yanxi volunteered to go to the front to sharpen his skills.Ji Yiran couldn't go with him due to his status as the crown prince, and on the day of the farewell, he was so angry that he didn't say a word until the end.But when parting, Gu Yanxi's solemn "take care" almost made his eyes blush.

After he left, he naturally didn't take care.Every day in the palace, he was restless, looking forward to the battle report ahead.Every time he finished watching, he let out a long sigh of relief, but couldn't help frowning again.

Later, Gu Yanxi went to the rivers and lakes alone again, and he couldn't go with him again because of his status as the crown prince.But every time he comes back, he will tell him a lot of anecdotes and strange things during his travels, and share with him the local customs and knowledge along the way.He also promised to take him with him if he had the opportunity, and he did not break his promise.Thinking of the past of joining hands in Jianghu, he felt that it was the happiest time in his life.

It's just that no matter how close the two of them are, there is still a difference between a monarch and a minister.The responsibilities are different, and the paths are also different. The young Pianpian gradually grows into a capable minister in charge of the world.The young prince also began to march towards the road of emperor.

He stopped teaching him to read, moved out of the prince's east palace, and moved into the mansion bestowed on him by his father.Although the East Palace still retains his residence, but in order to avoid suspicion, he rarely stays in the palace anymore.

As the situation became more tense, state affairs became more and more busy.The two perform their own duties, and the time to see each other is getting less and less, and the occasional drink under the moon is only a sneak in a few months.Just when Ji Yiran thought that Gu Yanxi was going to get farther and farther away from him, he made a vow to him that spring.

He said, "Yiran, I will protect you for the rest of my life."

By the Chunhua Pool, Gu Yanxi stood with her hands behind her back, her white clothes were more than snow.

"But my father said that you only agreed with him for ten years."

Under the crabapple tree, Ji Yiran's phoenix eyes were lightly raised, and she was dressed in brocade clothes.

"What I made with your father and king is the covenant between monarch and minister, what I keep to you is the righteousness of a friend, and what I establish with you is the bond of brotherhood."

He flipped off a crabapple: "We will take the spring color of this world as an agreement, this vow will not be violated, and the spring color will not grow old."

Ji Yiran took the crabapple casually, nodded and turned to leave.The moment she turned around, her lips raised unconsciously.

The next day, he sent someone to give Gu Yanxi a crabapple jade hairpin, in order to remind him to remember his promise.

I heard that when he received his jade hairpin, he smiled helplessly, and sighed: "This hairpin is too feminine, teach me how to wear it? Hey!" drown.

That year, Gu Yanxi was 16 years old, and he was 15 years old.

Close your eyes and think about the past, every bit of the past is memorable,

It's just... If he hadn't gone to Southern Qin and met that man named Huangfu Guangbo at that time, would the ending have been different, and the memory would still be good... His oath to him would not have changed?

Ji Yiran narrowed his eyes dangerously, those beautiful mirror images suddenly shattered in his mind, turning into sharp fragments, piercing into his flesh and blood.

"Your Majesty King Xiang, if you can't answer this question, then just assume that I have never asked it. It was Li who was abrupt." Li Muge smiled apologetically, and at some point in his hand, there was a "little stick".At this time, it's in the palm of your hand and it's shrouded in darkness, so it's not really clear to people.

Ji Yiran sneered, and said in a bad tone: "There's nothing hard to answer about this question, it's just that you don't deserve to know!"

Li Muge pretended to exaggerate "Oh", stretched out the "little stick" in front of Ji Yiran with a smile, bent his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't know if the owner of this 'Begonia Jade Hairpin' is worthy of knowing His Majesty's answer Woolen cloth?"
