Hidden Sky Light

Fan Yu was slightly startled.

Qu Bianying tugged at the reins again and continued, "I have a horse. I won't stay at your house for a long time. I will leave after eating noodles. It will only take an hour to go back and forth, which is faster than going door to door to find food."

Fan Yu looked at her.

Qu Bianying smiled and said, "Don't you feel sorry for your family's face?"

Fan Yunaihe knew that no matter what she said, she should have a reason...

"Let's go." Qu Bianying led the horse and left first.

Fan Yu had to quickly follow.

Fan Yu's home is in the eastern suburbs, the two of them paced side by side, and there was a horse with a curved edge on one side.

It was the first time Qu Bianying was so 'brave', but his face was actually a little red, and he didn't speak.

Fan Yu made a relief, "I traveled with His Majesty this way, is it going well?"

When it's hard to talk about private matters, it's better to talk about public affairs.

As long as the topic of the emperor is concerned, there is probably a sense of proportion, and the atmosphere will not be awkward or cold, especially when both of them are considered close ministers of the emperor.

Also, he doesn't care...

she.

When Fan Yu asked, Qu Bianying replied, "Going well."

Xu Shi was the only two of them on the street at this time, and they hadn't even met the patrolling guards. Such a quiet night is the easiest to make people sigh, especially when they are with Fan Yu.

Qu Bianying sighed, "I just feel that some things are difficult to do."

Fan Yu looked at her quietly.

Qu Bianying suddenly felt that some words like this are for one person to listen to. This person can understand, but he is reserved and reserved, and he will not make public. This kind of feeling seems to be at ease.

Qu Bianying didn't want to talk about the matter of the border gates of the city directly, so he said, "I used to think that Ziyiwei started everything from scratch, there were troops stationed outside, and there were forbidden troops inside, and Ziyiwei was wearing the emperor's guard It's not easy to do anything, but now I know that it's not easy to garrison troops at the border."

Fan Yu said softly, "Shen Ci?"

Qu Bianying was surprised. Although she didn't admit it, Fan Yu's expression was enough to guess.

Fan Yu was silent.

Qu Bianying murmured, "Are you civil servants so smart? I just mentioned that I can't get anywhere with Shen Ci."

Fan Yu smiled.

Qu Bianying said again, "How can you guess Shen Ci?"

Fan Yu replied, "Licheng Border Pass is close to Huishan. You went down to Huishan Palace with your majesty, and suddenly you mentioned the border garrison. I guess it was Licheng Border Pass. You are the commander of Ziyiwei, and you should be able to empathize. He is also a frontier general. The actual commander of Licheng Frontier is General Shen Ci. You were familiar with him in Miaocheng earlier. If you were not familiar with him, you would not sigh easily, nor would you sigh in front of me, so , I guess it's Shen Ci."

Qu Bianying: "..."

Fan Yu said again, "Don't worry, don't make a sound" is not a slip of the tongue. "

Qu Bianying sighed, "Fan Yu, are you a fox?"

Still looking good...

"Huh?" Fan Yu didn't respond.

Qu Bianying hurriedly covered the past, "Why don't you talk about business?"

As if he could guess anything.

Fan Yu looked at her, "What did you say?"

"Personal affairs?" Qu Bianying didn't even think about it.

Fan Yu: "..."

Fan Yu said softly, "Do you really want to go? Bian Ying, it's too late, others will misunderstand when they see it."

"What's the misunderstanding?" Qu Bianying looked at him.

Fan Yu: "..."

She suddenly said that, and he didn't know how to answer.

In the brief silence, still pacing side by side, Qu Bianying suddenly said, "I didn't misunderstand, Fan Yu, I am the commander of Ziyiwei, not a noble girl in Beijing. I know what I am doing. From childhood to adulthood, I think If you want, you will fight horses for three days and three nights to find the sugar man, you will be strong in the army, you will be deviant, you will be arbitrary, and you will…”

Qu Bianying seems to be considering.

Fan Yu looked at her.

Qu Bian Ying stopped, "Take it!"

Fan Yu did not return to God.

Looking at each other, the two of them blushed suddenly, Qu Bianying nervously pulled the reins, and when he was used to feeling insecure, he jumped on his horse subconsciously, "I won't eat it."

Fan Yu suddenly whispered, "At the door."

Qu Bianying: "..."

I really saw Fan Yu's house on one side.

But I just said those words, it's really a little embarrassing, how can I go...

Fan Yu said warmly, "People who are hungry, don't need to talk about it, come in."

Qu Bianying was so embarrassed that he was stuck on the horse's back, but Fan Yu had already pushed the door into the courtyard.

Qu Bianying sighed lightly, what kind of words is she talking about...

Also poaching.

How do you say it was exported? Qu Bianying was annoyed, she was afraid that she was rushing to the night and her mind was not working, what would Fan Yu think of her?

If it weren't for the horseback, Qu Bianying would have stamped his feet.

Qu Bianying leaned over on the horse's back, "Rouge, it's a shame."

Fan Yu pushed open the door and walked out, just in time to see her lying on the horse's back, saying this in a sullen manner.

Fan Yu smiled, "How much do you eat?"

Qu Bianying hurriedly sat up straight, "I..."

Fan Yu couldn't hold back his smile, "I see."

Qu Bianying: "..."

Qu Bianying got off the horse, led Rouge inside, and then tied Rouge in the garden.

You may not tie it in your own home, but it is impolite not to tie it in someone else's house.

When Qu Bian Yingzhao took a good look at Rouge, she saw that Fan Yu was already busy in the kitchen.

Qu Bianying watched from a distance, in fact, it was very pleasing to watch from a distance, Qu Bianying didn't make a sound, and soon heard the sound of water boiling, it was Fan Yu cooking noodles.

No, Qu Bianying seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurried forward, "I'm coming."

"No." Fan Yu looked at her.

It was only when she saw Fan Yu's left hand that she suddenly remembered it.

Fan Yu also saw that her eyes fell on his right hand, Fan Yu said softly, "Go and wait."

"Oh." It was the first time Qu Bianying turned around so obediently, as if it was the first time for Fan Yu to speak to her like this.

She suddenly thought that Fan Yuxu didn't mind what others thought...

Qu Bianying was just waiting in the hall. The house was not big. Qu Bianying had come here earlier and was bored at the moment. She was wrestling her left hand with her right arm on the table. After a while, she heard Fan Yu call her, "Bian Ying."

Qu Bianying almost flipped over under the stool, got up quickly, and finally overturned the stool, coaxed, Qu Bianying wanted to die, and answered first, "Come on!"

Immediately afterwards, the table that she accidentally kicked when she tripped over it just now collapsed...

it collapsed? !

In front of Fan Yu.

Qu Bianying smiled awkwardly, and Fan Yu couldn't help but smile.

...

The two were sitting on the stone steps in the garden eating noodles together, and Qu Bianying did not speak the whole time.

There is really nothing more embarrassing than going to someone's house for dinner and tearing down the table in their house.

And the most embarrassing thing is that there is no table at the moment, and there are only two rooms. She can't go to the table in his room to eat, so the two of them sit on the stone steps and eat noodles quietly.

Yes, just don't say anything, just eat the noodles in peace and leave.

The curvy face was almost buried in the bowl.

"It's ready." Qu Bianying smiled.

Where did she eat noodles, she was drinking noodles, Fan Yu looked at her, "Will you feel uncomfortable?"

She shook her head, "Eating in the army is fast."

For some reason, Fan Yu smiled again, "Okay, let it go."

"Well, then I'm leaving?" Qu Bianying put down the tableware and pointed to Rouge again.

"Well." Fan Yu said softly.

Qu Bian Ying really went to Rouge's place, Fan Yu didn't finish eating, and got up along with him.

Qu Bianying untied the rope and jumped on the horse, as if something was going on in her heart. When she looked at Fan Yu, Fan Yu also looked at her.

She still said, "I, I broke up with Zhao Lunchi."

Fan Yu was stunned.

Qu Bianying plucked up his courage, "Fan Yu, if you don't have a heart for a girl, I..."

Qu Bianying hesitated, "Me."

Yu Guang glanced at the two bowls on the stone steps, and Qu Bianying blurted out, "Can I come to your house to eat noodles?"

Fan Yu: "..."

Fan Yu was stunned at first, but when he heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Qu Bianying's face was completely red, and without speaking to him, he ran away.

Heck, really! Eat a ghost!

But Qu Bianying didn't notice that the small fence outside the garden was not opened, so after she kicked Fan Yu's desk down, Rouge kicked Fan Yu's fence and hit and ran.

Fan Yunaihe.

Seeing the two bowls on the stone steps, Fan Yu's eyes froze again.

- Zhao Lunchi and I have dissolved our engagement.

——If you don’t care about the girl, I… can I come to your house to eat noodles?

Fan Yu had a headache.

***

In the morning, Shen Ci quickly arrived in Ancheng.

Go fast, the guards next to him were not brought with him this time, only Xiao Wu kept following him, but Xiao Wu couldn't bear to keep rushing along the road, and only Shen Ci arrived in Ancheng first.

"Sister-in-law." Shen Ci's eyes were red.

Because of traveling day and night, his face was full of exhaustion, his eyes were sunken, and he seemed to have not closed his eyes for days and nights.

"Zi'an..." Gu shi's eyes were dense, "I'll take you there."

Shen Ci nodded.

...

More than twenty miles outside of Ancheng, Mr. Gu called the carriage to stop.

Shen Ci knew this, and his mother was buried here.

Mrs Gu led him forward and cooked in front of his mother's tomb, "Zi'an, my father confessed before his death that he would be buried with his mother. Therefore, after his father passed away, he and his mother were buried together, which is also what his father meant. ."

Seeing the words on the tombstone, Shen Ci's tears couldn't help falling down instantly, "Father..."

Yes, my father said that he would be buried with his mother.

Yes……

It means dad.

Shen Zi'an's head seemed to be run over by a heavy weapon, and she was so depressed that she couldn't breathe.

Along the way, he even thought about whether everything was true. The last time he came back, although his father also had an old illness, he could still drink with him, practice hands, and talk for a long time. Did something go wrong?

But when he really came to the tombstone and saw the tomb where his parents were buried together, Shen Ci suddenly felt sad.

Dad is gone.

He has no father...

"Father, Zi'an is not filial, you didn't have time for the last time..." Shen Ci knelt down and kowtowed, and didn't get up for a long time.

Gu looked at him, his fingertips clenched slightly.

Seeing that he couldn't afford to kneel for a long time, Mrs Gu took a deep breath and said to him, "Zi'an, talk to your father well, I'll wait for you at the manor."

Shen Ci nodded, because he choked and didn't answer.

When Mr. Gu turned around, he heard Shen Ci sobbing behind him.

Gu's fingertips were curled tightly, and she didn't look back.

In front of the tombstone, Shen Ci was the only one, sobbing and trembling all over.

If a light flashed in his mind, it was his father who held him on his shoulders when he was a child, took him to practice swordsmanship, carried him on a horse, and told him that the great rivers and mountains of Yanhan had the blood and faith of Shen Jiaerlang.

He remembered the first little wooden sword that his father gave him.

I also remember the first bow his father gave him, the first time he took him on a horse gallop.

Like a majestic mountain, it will always look back.

Shen Ci burst into tears.

"Dad, my son is back, and I haven't had a good drink with you and practiced my hands. Didn't I want to propose a marriage? My son is married, you have a grandson, Dad... You have been worrying about your son for a long time, and my son is sorry for you. Dad, it’s not filial to Zi’an. I haven’t had time to take you to Licheng, and I agreed to ride the border with you and compete with you on horseback and archery…”

Shen Ci was so choked that he could not speak.

"Father, why didn't you wait for me?" Shen Ci burst into tears, "Why don't you let my son see you for the last time..."

The wind of May, blowing the surrounding rustling sound, seems to add a sense of grief out of thin air.

In grief, Shen Ci's heart seemed to fall into an abyss ice cellar.

***

In the Shen residence, it is already night, and Shen Ci has not yet been seen.

Mrs Gu looked for He Bo to ask, "Has Zi'an returned?"

Uncle He said in a deep voice, "Not yet, Madam, Second Master, I'm afraid I won't be back tonight."

Since the second master entered the capital, the time spent with the master has been less, especially after the second master went to the border gate, the father and son have not met for a long time.

Gu shi instructed, "Let someone go and deliver clothes to Zi'an, it's cold at night."

"Okay." He Bo responded.

But before Uncle He left, the footsteps of the servant hurriedly heard, "Madam, the second master is back."

When Mr. Gu got up, Uncle He also turned around, and when he saw Shen Zi'an entering, he was still the same as before.

"Self-safety." Gu Shi was worried.

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, Uncle He, I've made you worry, I'll go and make some repairs first."

Gu nodded.

...

When Shen Ci turned back, he had already taken a shower and changed his clothes. The tiredness on his face was a little less, but there was still scarlet in his eyes.

"I haven't used anything for a day. Let Uncle He prepare it for you. Just take two bites." Gu has always taken care of him. Relax the hearts of her and He Bo.

"Sister-in-law, where's eldest brother?" Shen Ci asked.

When such a big thing happened in the family, my father passed away, my eldest brother should not be here.

The tip of Gu's nose was slightly red, and she tried her best to calmly say, "Zi'an, Xingyun hasn't come back yet."

Shen Ci frowned slightly, "Where did eldest brother go? Besides, why is he so good, he suddenly adopted Shanhai into my name, what happened to eldest brother?"

Gu looked at him, "Zi'an, the letter your elder brother gave you, after reading it, burn it."

Gu took out a letter from his sleeve, and Shen Ci took it in surprise.

The letter was not long, and Shen Ci read it quickly, but he was terrified when he saw it.

——Zi An, after reading this letter, I have been away from Yanhan for several months. Leaving home at the end of the year is indeed a last resort. The mountains and seas are close to you, I am not here, I look forward to treating them as if they were my own. During the festive season, Dad and Azhi hope to visit and take care of them more.

"What else did eldest brother say?" Shen Ci's fingertips trembled.

Mr. Gu shook his head, "No, originally, your elder brother said that he had something to go out, and it would take me several years to take care of Dad, but I didn't expect a cold to make Dad's old illness relapse..."

Mr. Gu couldn't continue, and continued, "Xingyun warned before leaving that Shanhai was young and wanted to adopt Shanhai to you and take care of him."

"Sister-in-law." Shen Ci knew from the letter just now that something was wrong, otherwise the elder brother would not let Shanhai follow him and adopt Shanhai to him, in order to cut off the relationship between Shanhai and himself.

Shen Ci would not have imagined it.

He also thought that the brother who could leave this letter should not come back.

***

In the garden, Shen Ci did not go back to the house, but sat in the warm pavilion in the garden.

Leaning on Liang Zhu in the warm pavilion, he looked up at the night sky in a trance.

I remembered the time when I was with my father, when I was with my elder brother, and when my father and my elder brother were together.

The death of his father had already dealt a heavy blow to his heart, and the letter from the eldest brother seemed to devour his mind bit by bit...

Stay away from Yanhan, why did you say this?

He wanted to tell him that he was no longer in Yanhan, what was the matter, even Yanhan couldn't stay?

Shen Ci inexplicably remembered the willow soil business he asked Guo Zixiao to investigate earlier, and suddenly remembered that the eldest sister-in-law's mother was a businessman, and the eldest brother might do the willow soil business through the Gu family.

At that time, the eldest brother happened to appear in Dianzhou near Qucheng, and near Yaocheng. These coincidences one after another, if it weren't for the strange letter from the eldest brother, what he thought was wrong would have passed long ago, and it is only now. They thought about it one by one, but they were terrified.

The last time we met, he said that the injury on the elder brother's back had never healed, and the injury kept repeating, causing him to sleep unsteadily at night.

Shen Ci inexplicably remembered the fire in Qucheng, and there was also willow soil in the inn that burned to ashes.

burn? Shen Ci was stunned, and his face was ashen. He asked Guo Zixiao to check, either it really had nothing to do with the eldest brother, or the eldest brother had removed the traces.

That big brother has already thought about it.

And what he had always thought strange earlier, the chaos in Huaicheng, he just appeared, even in two directions, it was nearby. In fact, it was because the eldest brother told him that his aunt missed him, and it happened to be Shan Hai's birthday, so he asked him to visit his aunt in Pingnan and come back to celebrate Shan Hai's birthday.

If it wasn't for Big Brother, he wouldn't come back...

Just at that time, Shen Ci took a breath.

Then I thought of what Han Guan and Guo Zixiao had said, they had been unconscious when they were in Fuyang County. Han Guan and Guo Zixiao had been at the border for a long time, so they were vigilant and would not be brought down so easily, especially the Xirong people.

But he didn't even think about his big brother at the time.

When the elder brother brought Shanhai to the border to garrison the army, Han Guan once said happily, telling him to walk outside, be careful everywhere, all the bowls and chopsticks are their own, they can't poison them at all, unless they are placed in colorless In tasteless incense...

Big brother was there at the time, he knew very well.

One by one, they all involve Tan Jin, Harmiya, and Chen Xian.

Shen Ci took another breath, remembering when he was looking at the map earlier, and remembering that there were several places where Harmiya appeared, there were no rules at all, but he shouldn't be so familiar with Yan Hanzhong, someone was serving him as a guide!

——Do you think that if you saved Emperor Heng, Emperor Heng would trust you?

——With Shen Ying here, how could your Son of Heaven trust you?

——Shen Ci, you don’t know anything, do you?

Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out behind Shen Ci, is it big brother?

Otherwise, he would suddenly leave Yanhan, or would he adopt Shanhai over him? !

All of a sudden, all the thoughts flooded into his mind like a tide, making him so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, "Brother, how could it be?"

Shen Ci fell into a dead silence.
