The night shrouded the wilderness.

In the thatched hut, someone was hiding in the corner of the wall, his lips squirming, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Young master, the person has been found. Xu Jingfu's subordinates are chasing them. The brothers are now a little confused and may have to take them back to the city and let Mr. Lin take a look." Luan Ying stood beside Xiao Jue and whispered.

This is the one who survived the battle of Mingshui.

During the Mingshui Battle, almost all the soldiers led by Xiao Zhongwu were wiped out, and among the deputy generals, one of them was not alive. The alive soldiers died one after another over the years. As for how they died, no one cares whether they died or not. Five years have passed since the Mingshui Battle. Perhaps no one in this world will care about the dead General Guangwu, the sinister conspiracy hidden in that famous defeat.

"There is no other way?" Xiao Jue frowned, "I'm afraid they can't get back to the city like this."

"When I came out, I was in a hurry, and I only brought trauma medicine, and I never had the same kind of concentration." Luan Ying shook her head, "Xu Jingfu's people chased them for seven days and seven nights, and they both couldn't stand it."

Of course, the wheel battle was exhausting, especially the wheel battle that was chasing relentlessly. Xiao Jue thought about it and untied a sachet from his waist. It was made by Bai Rongwei, a sachet that He Yan had handed over to him earlier. He pinched the bag, pulled the rope, and contained an extremely small peace talisman and some herbs. He heard from He Yan that this was concentrating.

Xiao Jue poured out the herbs and handed them to Luan Ying, "Take them over and sniff them. I won't leave tonight. I will change my place and let them rest for one night."

The shadow of the phoenix responds.

It has been so long since the investigation of Xu Jingfu and Mingshui case that it is not easy to finally find two living witnesses. But this also shows that Xiao Jue's ability over the years has gradually grown to a level that can compete with Xu Jingfu. For example, this time he snatched people, he won.

I can't stay here for a long time, so I have to change my place. I found a family outside the city, and everyone and the pair of unconscious brothers settled down.

Chiwu and Feinu were guarding the door of the brothers to prevent accidents at night. Luanying went out to find out the news. The nights in the suburbs were always particularly deserted. Especially in autumn, there were few people more than ten miles away, but the moon was white and bright, shining in the empty wilderness, like flowing silver water, giving birth to a little desolate in vain.

He actually doesn't like Mid-Autumn Festival. Because Mid-Autumn Festival always reminds him of bad memories in the past. The more perfect the moon is, the more lonely it looks. Every year approaching this time, it always makes him unable to fall asleep. In previous years, he could still read official documents and see it for half a night. Now when he returns to Shuojing, he really can't do anything here.

Xiao Jue lowered his head and looked at the sachet in his hand. The herbs in the sachet were hollowed out, only a flat layer, and Ping An Fu was a small one. After thinking about it, he opened the sachet and planned to stuff the Ping An Fu again.

Although it was embroidered by a maid from the Xiao family, the silk materials and patterns were selected by Bai Rongwei himself. Bai Rongwei was always particularly persistent in this matter, and the sachets were made particularly exquisitely. When he stroked his fingers, the silk was as cold as the moonlight.

Xiao Jue's eyes paused slightly. The next moment, his fingertips slashed through the sachet and felt a rough bulge. The bulge seemed particularly different on the flat satin surface. He lowered his eyes and turned the sachet face.

The inside side appeared in front of Xiao Jue.

The sachet is embroidered with two layers, double-layer embroidery. The inner layer of cloth is ordinary black and has no patterns. However, at this moment, there is still a curved, bright yellow corner embroidered on the cloth. I can't tell what it is, but it can be seen that the person who embroiders things is really not a good idea, and the thread ends are not cut cleanly.

How to say it, the black python outside the sachet and the yellow horn inside the sachet really don’t look like something that appears on the same work.

What is this? Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows. Bai Rongwei's skills are much better than this. If the maids of the Xiao family are made like this, it would be a bit scary to say it out. This sachet was given to him by He Yan. In the entire Xiao family, there should be no one else except Miss He.

He tossed and turned around and tried to find traces of He Yan's embroidery, but there was no, except for this yellow horn, she had embroidered nothing.

Xiao Jue's mouth twitched.

Is this practicing with his sachet? He is so sneaky and silent. If he hadn't taken the herbs inside to open the sachet, he would have never discovered the secret in his life. But what is the meaning of doing this? If you really want to practice, you can find a white handkerchief to embroider it and hide it in it. You always feel that there is a deep meaning he doesn't understand.

At this moment, people's footsteps came again in the wilderness. A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy walked to him and said to him with a smile: "Young Master!"

This child is Luanying's son, named Bai Feng. His eyebrows are handsome, and he looks particularly similar to Luanying. However, he is young and has some flesh on his cheeks, so he looks a bit honest and cute. Unlike Luanying's cold temperament, Bai Feng is like all young men of this age, innocent and even a bit talkative.

He liked Xiao Jue very much. No matter how many times Luanying warned him to distinguish between superiority and inferiority, he should not be arrogant, and Bai Jue could not remember it. Xiao Jue didn't care about these things. Therefore, whenever Luanying didn't see, Bai Jue would try every means to stick to it as long as he saw Xiao Jue.

Bai Feng saw the sachet in Xiao Jue's hand at a glance. His eyes were so good that he could see the embroidery on the lining clearly in the night and blurted out: "Huh? This moon embroidery is so beautiful!"

"...Moon?" Xiao Jue was stunned.

Bai Feng replied confidently, "Young Master, look, the yellow and curved ones are the moon!" He leaned closer and looked at the embroidery pattern in Xiao Jue's hand, and praised: "This is a black linen, representing the night. The moon is embroidered on it, it is the moon in the night, representing the young master. You are the moon in the night, dazzling and dazzling!" The child said as he spoke, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, is this the girl giving you?"

Xiao Jue: "..."

He felt a little uncomfortable and took back his sachet, "No."

"How could it be not?" Bai Feng was puzzled. "If it weren't for a girl, how could a man have such exquisite embroidery?"

Xiao Jue once doubted whether Bai Feng was He Yan's younger brother. Their evaluation of "beauty" was really rare.

Bai Feng asked again, but a sound broke out from behind, "Bai Feng!"

Bai Feng was so scared that he hid behind Xiao Jue, "Mom... I came out to go to the toilet and happened to see the young master."

Luan Ying held his ears and pulled him out from behind Xiao Jue, "How many times have you said don't bother the young master? Why is this kid ignorant? Young master, sorry, I'll take the kid back now!"

Luanying slid back with the white squid, and Xiao Jue was left by the wilderness.

The moonlight shines on the black field, and the soil is stained with white frost, like the snow on the Wei River in Liangzhou, rushing into the coldest moment.

The ruthless bright moon, the lovely dream, he curled his lips and turned around to leave. Suddenly, he paused, as if he was thinking of something, and suddenly raised his eyes.

In my memory, among the crowd of people who were hilarious and laughing, on the platform, there were girls' faces hidden under the mask, and boring words were said.

"The last secret," she tiptoed and leaned closer to his chin, and said softly, "I like the moon."

"The moon doesn't know."

...

The day I entered the palace, it arrived soon.

Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei were also going to enter the palace together. They were a little surprised when they learned that He Yan was not with them, but with Lin Shuanghe. However, they were very considerate and did not ask much about the feelings of the people. When they waited for Lin Shuanghe's carriage to come, they sent He Yan onto the carriage and told them to see him in the palace.

Lin Shuanghe sat in the carriage and shook his fan and said, "Huaijin probably was afraid that you would not be able to go with Brother Rubi and others. We are all old friends and we are more comfortable getting along." He looked at He Yan again and sighed, "It's really his loss for Huaijin to not be able to come back today. Our sister He is also heroic in wearing such gorgeous men's clothing. If she entered the palace with me, there would never be anyone among the civil and military officials today who could take away the light of you and me."

He Yan thought about something else and responded perfunctorily twice. Seeing this, Lin Shuanghe thought she was nervous when she entered the palace, so he comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, Sister He, Brother Youwei is here. I am very familiar with the palace. You can walk sideways. As long as you don't kill and set fire, you can find my grandfather to settle it."

He probably had already done a great job of cheating on his father and grandfather, so he brought He Yan with him.

The carriage was running all the way, and I don’t know how long it took to finally reach the palace gate. The guards in front of the palace were already familiar with Lin Shuanghe’s carriage. Lin Shuanghe and He Yan got off the carriage and followed the palace servant who led the way.

This is He Yan's first entry into the palace.

If it were this time of her previous life, she would have been nervous because she could see the emperor and receive a reward. But once she died, she would know that the so-called future and wealth were like clouds. She entered the palace now, not for the future, but for the account of her previous life.

Bypassing the long corridor garden in the palace and walking through the front hall, the monarch's palace banquet this time was nothing more than to celebrate the commemoration. The people who came were all well-known figures in the court, such as Lin Shuanghe, who could also get in because of the relationship between Lin Qingtan and Lin Mu.

There were already many people coming in the front hall. He Yan looked at it and did not see the shadow of Xiao Jing and his wife. Lin Shuanghe whispered: "We are taking the shortcuts. Brother Rubi should be taking the main road, and they may be coming later. It's okay, Brother He, I'll keep following you. When someone is coming to say hello later, I will tell you your name so that you can meet some people."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone said, "Lin Shuanghe!"

However, this person was not the one who came to meet He Yan, because this person was Yan He. Yan He was wearing his official robe, and the woman standing beside him was beautiful and gentle. Her appearance was not very stunning, but she was very attractive. She bowed from Lin Shuanghe, "Mr. Lin."

This is Yan He's wife, Xia Chengxiu.

Yan He did whatever he wanted. In front of everyone, he held Xia Chengxiu's shoulder and whispered to He Yan, "Chengxiu, this is what I told you, a confidant who hates He Rufei as much as I do. But now it is Xiao Huaijin's person," he looked at He Yan, "Do you want to do things with me?"

Before He Yan could speak, Lin Shuanghe waved his hand with a righteous heart, "No! Of course, this kind of thing has to end in one go, so how can one change people in the middle?"

Yan He was puzzled: "This must be the end of oneself?"

"Is it like this in your heart that is so tactful?" Lin Shuanghe looked at Xia Chengxiu, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I'm worried about you."

Xia Chengxiu: “…”

Yan He was furious: "Lin Shuanghe, shut up, is there anyone who sows the disagreement like this?"

Lin Shuanghe: "It's good that you know."

Yan He cursed and walked away with Xia Chengxiu. Lin Shuanghe breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and was about to ask He Yan, but he saw He Yan staring in a direction. Lin Shuanghe followed her gaze and saw someone talking not far away. Standing in the middle was a young man in a long robe, gentle and handsome, not unfamiliar with this, Hanlin Bachelor Xu Zhiheng.

Lin Shuanghe was a little puzzled. He Yan stared at him straight, and those who didn't know thought she was fond of Xu Zhiheng. However, Xu Zhiheng already had a wife, and Chu Zhao was not bad at all, and compared to Chu Zhao, Xu Zhiheng was far behind.

Could it be that he was asking for Chu Zhao but couldn't find a substitute? Lin Shuanghe's mind was covered in mud.

On the other end, Xu Zhiheng seemed to have noticed someone looking at him and looked over. He Yan was Zhang Sheng's face here. Xu Zhiheng had never seen him, but knew Lin Shuanghe. Lin Shuanghe had no official position, and Lin Qingtan and Lin Mu were also good at being human in the court. Most officials in the court had a good relationship with the Lin family, at least they would not take the initiative to get into evil. Seeing that Lin Shuanghe was also looking at him, Xu Zhiheng was a little surprised at first, and then he temporarily left his colleague who was talking to him and walked towards Lin Shuanghe.

"Brother Lin." He stood in front of Lin Shuanghe and said in a gentle voice, "Long time no see."

Lin Shuanghe knew Xu Zhiheng, but he was not familiar with him. However, he was a personal talent and said with the flow: "Yes, it's better for us to stay in Liangzhou for a while. By the way, this is the brother I met in Liangzhou."

He Yan looked up at Xu Zhiheng.

It has been almost three years since she "sees" Xu Zhiheng last time. In her memory, Xu Zhiheng was a gentle and considerate young man who could deceive people. But now, I don't know if it was because of the appearance of the heart, but Xu Zhiheng's appearance has become much more mean.

He lost a lot of weight and his official robe was already wide, which made him look a little hunched. Because he was too thin, he had some old looks on his face. Even the smile he deliberately squeezed out looked particularly stiff.

Xu Zhiheng was also looking at the person in front of him.

This is a very beautiful boy with a bright eyebrows and eyes. Her red round neck robe made her lips red and her teeth look white. A black belt around her waist outlined a very beautiful figure. The most attractive thing is the eyes, which are clearly gentle in shape, but their eyes are sharp. The boy just stared at him when he was far away. It was clearly the first time he met, but his eyes seemed to surge in various emotions, cold and gloomy, as if he had seen through all his disguises, making people unable to help but feel palpitations.

Xu Zhiheng felt uncomfortable with such a look and turned to Lin Shuanghe, "This is..."

"Mr. Xu, don't look at this little brother who is young and is now the Wu'anlang personally named by His Majesty. He is our colleague in the future."

Xu Zhiheng was originally listening to Lin Shuanghe's words with a smile on his face. When he heard it behind, his smile instantly dissipated and asked, "What are you talking about... what is his name?"

"Mr. Xu," He Yan looked at him with a smile, "below, he is named He Yan, He Miao He, and Yan of the clear and sea. "

Xu Zhiheng's expression changed drastically.

The corners of the young man in front of him were slightly raised, looking friendly and immature. However, when he looked at her eyes carefully, he had no smile at all. He was like a pool of cold water, which brought people to such an afternoon. The young woman was struggling in the bottomless abyss, and was forced to her throat with a suffocation.

His throat was dry and he couldn't say a word in full.

Fortunately, at this time, someone called Lin Shuanghe's name, which was originally Lin Qingtan. Lin Shuanghe pulled He Yan away and said, "Brother He, that's my grandfather, I'll take you to take a look."

The person in front of him left.

Xu Zhiheng almost suspected that the name he had just heard was a dream, which was caused by his uneasiness for a while. However, when he looked up, the boy standing next to Lin Shuanghe in the distance and talking to Lin Qingtan... prompted that this was the fact.

There was indeed a man named "He Yan" who appeared in front of him.

Xu Zhiheng was sweating coldly. A colleague noticed his strangeness and asked with concern, "What's going on with Lord Xu? His face is so ugly? But he feels uncomfortable?"

Xu Zhiheng forced a smile and waved his hand, "Nothing happened." He turned around and walked towards the corner where no one dared not let others find his horror.
To be continued...
