Chapter 334 Dingbeihou: See you at the beginning of that year (there will be two changes in the evening)

At dawn, the shadow of candles drunk Liuxin, and the dream of winter snow was startled all night.

"When I went to the Northern Wei Dynasty, you were only seven years old, and you always followed Chi Xiuyuan, carrying a sword taller than you."

"Your eyes are too indifferent, exactly the same as back then. On the morning and evening festival of that year, under the evergreen tree in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, you just looked at me like this, protecting Chi Xiuyuan tightly behind you."

"At that time, you only grew to my shoulders, and when you wielded a sword, you were more ruthless than a battle-tested general."

"From the first time you appeared in Dayan, in front of me, I knew that it was you who came, and Chi Xiuyuan pushed you in front of me for the second time."

"Looking at your eyes, I can't do anything, even if you put me on the cusp of the storm again and again, I still can't do it."

"I don't hate you, at least you have come to Dayan, and you have come to a place within my reach, at least when all my subjects have abandoned Dayan and betrayed me, you are still standing within my reach, at least, in the end , it was Chi Xiuyuan you gave up on, not me."

"Let me die by your sword and take my body out. Chi Xiuyuan is outside the hall. He will definitely save your life."

"Chang Qing, after my death, I was buried under the city gate of Dayan. I am sorry for Dayan, and I am doomed to be trampled by the people of Dayan for the rest of my life."

"evergreen."

She opened her eyes suddenly and screamed, "No!"

"Evergreen, evergreen, wake up."

The clear and crisp child's voice was calling her, quickly and loudly, her shoulders were shaken violently, the girl on the bed with her eyes closed slowly opened her eyes, her delicate eyebrows were frowned, and there was a layer of deepness between her eyebrows that did not belong to her age. and dignified.

When the candlelight entered her eyes, she suddenly woke up, a layer of winter snow fell on the window, and the evergreen trees outside were still there.The once-familiar desks and wall tiles seem like a lifetime away.

Oh, this is the Dingbeihou Mansion of the Northern Wei Dynasty. She is Chang Qing, the maid of the Dingbeihou Mansion of the Northern Wei Dynasty. She was only seven years old in the 31st year of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Changqing, Changqing," the seven or eight-year-old girl sat on the head of the bed with bright eyes open, "You're having a nightmare again."

A girl who is as old as Changqing Huan Yunmiao, entered the mansion two years earlier than Changqing, Yunmiao is a descendant of the Chengguang clan in the north, when Lord Dingbei broke into the Guang clan, he brought her back to the mansion, and with Changqing Like Qing, she is also the maid of the Dingbeihou Mansion.

Yun Miao blew out the candlestick and said, "What did you dream about, why are you crying?"

Chang Qing wiped his eyes, touched the warmth of his hands, lowered his head, tears wet the mattress beside the pillow.She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and dispelled the messy images in her mind.It turned out that dreaming of him made my heart ache.

Yun Miao has always been as careful as dust: "You have been having nightmares these few days, and you wake up crying every time, did something startle you? Why don't you ask Shizi to ask a doctor to look at you?"

"No problem."

Chang Qing is the personal maid of the son of the Hou Mansion, a child picked up by Chi Xiuyuan from the street when he was eight years old. Chi Xiuyuan is very partial to Chang Qing, so although Chang Qing is a maid, she is just like the young lady in the mansion. No two.

It's just that very few people know that apart from being a maid, Chang Qing is also the shadow guard who specializes in assassination in Dingbei Hou's mansion, the youngest shadow guard.

The Marquis of Dingbei probably had many such secret guards, but they didn't know each other.

Getting up from the couch, she took out a black gown and put it on: "What time is it now?"

Girls who are seven or eight years old don't like dresses with powder makeup. Chang Qing always wears the same black robes. She is mature and restrained like a child of this age. She is handsome and handsome, and is often regarded as a boy.

"It's already time." Yun Miao said again, "The prince came to look for you just now, and said that Prince Dayan is stationed in the capital today and asked you to go watch the fun with him."

Chang Qing stood up suddenly, and ran out in big strides, her clothes were not in order, and she was even barefoot.

Outside the house, it was freezing cold, Yun Miao chased Chang Qing and shouted: "Chang Qing, your boots!" Walking out of the room, Chang Qing could no longer be seen, only a string of messy and dense footprints in the snow.

Yun Miao's eyes were gloomy, her expression was unclear.

Going north to Wei State, south to Dayan, and central Wujiang, the three kingdoms have stood together for a long time. For hundreds of years, they have fought continuously.

In the 31st year of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in the First Battle of Zhongzhou, Dayan defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty, cut three cities, and sent Prince Rongde to the Northern Wei Dynasty as a hostage.

Today, it was snowing heavily, Prince Rongde went to Beijing to pay homage, and was greeted by Dingbei Hou Shizi out of the city. The capital of Wei was crowded with people, and everyone in the world knew that Prince Rongde of Dayan had a beautiful appearance. Most of the people who watched the excitement today were girls. Probably want to see the world's most beautiful man 'Fangrong'.

In the sedan chair, Prince Rong De sat upright, his eyes were clean, his face was full of snow.

"That is Dayan's crown prince, who is so handsome."

"Handsome is handsome, but a little too weak."

"What do you know, Prince Rongde is Emperor Yan's favorite, he has been loved since he was a child, he is different from a rough man in the market, so he is naturally born so weak."

"Weak Liu Fufeng? If you don't read much, you will show off less."

"..."

Groups of women covered their mouths and whispered, not daring to be blatant, but frequently cast their gazes into the sedan chair.

A clear white hand lowered the car curtain.

This man was handsome, and his hands were extremely beautiful, three points more beautiful than women in the world.

The horses entered the city on snow, and the ten-mile long street was surrounded by people, and the guards lined up from the city gate to the Weidu palace gate.

Suddenly, in front of the horse, a girl walked slowly, barefoot, stepping on the snow, the horse's hoof was raised high, and it was falling towards the girl.

"Call-"

The general immediately reined in the rope and gave a strong shock. As soon as the horse roared, the man cursed: "You are courting death!"

Raising his hand, the whip swung at the girl. Just when the passers-by were dumbfounded, the boy on the left horse jumped up and grabbed the whip with his bare hands.

The eldest son of Dingbeihou's mansion is indeed excellent in martial arts!

"General You." Chi Xiuyuan let go, and took off the force of the whip, "This is the maid of my house, please save me some noodles."

However, in the year of dancing spoons, he is not weak at all.

General You was still about to get angry, when he heard a young boy's voice from inside the sedan chair: "What's wrong?"

Cold, noble, as if born with it.

Chang Qing's eyes suddenly turned red, and he approached subconsciously, but his hand was held by Chi Xiuyuan. He shook his head and signaled her not to approach with the shape of his lips.

She couldn't take her eyes off, staring at the sedan chair covered by tassels, dazed.

General You replied: "Your Highness, it was the maid of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion who surprised the horse."

"Is there a problem?"

The voice is very pleasant, although it is cold, it is not lacking in gentleness.

"It's fine, nothing serious."

Prince Rong De said: "Let's set off, don't miss the time of worship."

"promise."

General You gave an order and continued to move forward.

Chang Qing was stunned, Chi Xiuyuan pulled her to avoid the people who were walking forward, her eyes followed the away sedan chair, lost her mind.

Chi Xiuyuan ordered the guards in the mansion to accompany him, and took Chang Qing aside: "Chang Qing, how did you come here?"

She seemed to have never heard of it, her eyes were fixed, and she fell into the distance.

Chi Xiuyuan called again: "Chang Qing."

Only then did she retract her gaze and lower her eyes, the rims of her eyes were red with the noise of the wind and snow.

"What's the matter? But you're sick?"

It seems that since Changqing fell into the water a month ago, she has not been the same as before, making Chi Xiuyuan unable to figure it out.

Chang Qing shook his head: "No problem."

As her face became paler, Chi Xiuyuan realized that she was stepping on the snow with bare feet.

"Why did you run out without shoes on? Be careful of the cold." He frowned, and the teenage boy scolded her angrily, then hugged her on his horse, took off his coat and wrapped it around Blue feet that were red from the cold.

Chang Qing stared at him blankly.

"what happened?"

She shook her head.It's just that he suddenly felt strange. It turned out that the man in his memory who sent troops south to stain the swallow with blood was so gentle when he was young.

She sat on the horse, Chi Xiuyuan led the horse, and walked at the tail of the Yan army guards.

"Father returned to Beijing the day before yesterday and brought a bronze sword from Tatar. It was my father's trophy. He gave me the sword. May I give it to you?" Chi Xiuyuan said lightly. He has always been close to Changqing. .

"My lord," she turned to look at him, "Aren't you afraid that Chang Qing will swing his sword at you one day?"

Chi Xiuyuan smiled, and said firmly: "You won't."

won't you?In her last life, she used the ancient bronze sword that he had given him to guard Yanjing and meet him with swords.

She said: "The world is impermanent, there has never been a definite number."

On this day at Xushi, Emperor Cheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty held a banquet in the Chengyang Hall to welcome Prince Rongde, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty attended with their families.

At the banquet, Princess Qingrong, Emperor Cheng's favorite, challenged her with martial arts, declaring that she wanted to show off the man of Yan, and Emperor Cheng promised, but Prince Rongde declined on the grounds that she was ill.

The courtiers were full, and it was obvious that Emperor Cheng had indulged Princess Qingrong this time, in order to give the Crown Prince of Yan who came from afar a blow.

How could the proton of the defeated country be treated with courtesy.

After the banquet, Prince Rongde lived temporarily in Yanqing Palace. Although it was not a simple palace, it was very remote. Eunuch Chang Fu talked about it for a long time, and his anger still lingered when he arrived at the bedroom.

"Your Highness, Princess Qingrong is so rude, how can she compete with you in that hall."

Changfu is one of the few close servants by Yan Jinghong's side. He is the son of Concubine Yan Rong. Since Concubine Rong passed away, he has followed Yan Jinghong. There are few rivals in the world.

Eunuch Changfu was very angry, and he was aggrieved on behalf of his master: "Master, you came to pay homage as the prince of Dayan, and you are not just a sideshow."

Yan Jinghong reprimanded lightly: "Talking too much." He added, "Northern Wei Dynasty is no better than Yanjing, we need to be cautious in words and deeds."

He is as young as him, but his temperament is very restrained, which can be described as unfathomable.

Long Fu Nuo blessed his body: "The slave is convicted."

At this time, on the high wall of Yanqing Palace, a figure swayed and passed by like the wind.

After touching a stick of incense, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, the fire flickered, and the footsteps were hurried and chaotic.

In the sleeping hall, Prince Rong De asked softly: "Who is making noise outside?"

Outside the hall, hundreds of guards were waiting in formation. The man said loudly, "Wei Du Yulin Army President Wei Zhouming has been ordered to arrest the assassin."

With a lazy voice, Yan Jinghong said: "This king has already gone to bed, step back."

After a moment of hesitation and silence, Commander Zhou ordered: "Yes." He then ordered the Imperial Forest Army, "Go search elsewhere."

When the footsteps were far away, the bright fire outside the hall disappeared, and Eunuch Chang Fu shouted: "Bold thief, still, still don't let go of His Highness the Crown Prince."

The assassin was so daring that he snuffed out the wick and broke in through the window.

The bedroom was pitch black, only the dagger resting on Yan Jinghong's waist flashed a gloomy white light, and the hand holding the dagger was trembling.

"Let go of His Highness, the Crown Prince, if you hurt His Highness, you will have to cut him apart!" Eunuch Changfu was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to approach him.

"lead the way."

The voice is immature, crisp and sweet, as if hiding turbulent emotions, forbearance and concentration.

girls?The assassin was actually a girl!Chang Fu became angry from embarrassment: "You are so courageous, come here!"

At this time, a man with a long sword broke in, and the person who came was Yan Jinghong's shadow guard, who was superb in lightness kung fu, and immediately landed behind the girl, with the sword out of the scabbard.

Yan Jinghong stopped suddenly: "Back off."

Lin Jin hesitated for a moment, then withdrew the move in his hand.

Chang Fu was shocked: Your Highness, why is this, if Lin Jin made a move just now, even if the girl has the ability to surpass the sky, he can subdue her with one move.

Without turning his head to look back, Yan Jinghong asked, "Where are you going?"

The voice trembled slightly for some reason.

The girl's dagger approached a point, and said coldly: "Get out of here."

"Lin Jin." There was no candlelight, Yan Jinghong's expression could not be seen clearly, and he felt a little flustered.

"Subordinates are here."

Yan Jinghong ordered: "Go and lure the Imperial Forest Army away."

Lin Jin was slightly surprised, and cupped his hands over the order: "Your order." Immediately, he left the bedroom with his sword.

Eunuch Changfu couldn't figure it out, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that his master was helping the female assassin escape.

Yan Jinghong led the way out of Yanqing Palace when a whistle sounded outside the hall. It was snowing heavily outside the house. Behind him, the girl hadn't grown to the size of his shoulders. With the screeching sound, her dagger was pressed against Yan Jinghong's back.

Yanqing Palace is located in the northernmost place, it is quiet and secluded, and there are very few imperial guards patrolling the night.After hundreds of steps away from Yanqing Palace, the prince's guard retreated a hundred meters away.All the way without a word, she held him hostage and stopped at the foot of a rockery.

"Where are you going?"

After saying that, Yan Jinghong wanted to turn around, the dagger moved closer, and the girl behind said: "Don't move, don't talk."

He fell silent, under the moon, his long eyelashes moved slightly, the contours of his face were tightened, and his fingertips were trembling inadvertently.

Waiting in the snow, there is no light and shadow, no hustle and bustle, until a layer of snow falls on Yan Jinghong's shoulders, thick smoke billows in the distance.

She spoke suddenly, her voice dry and hoarse: "My knife is fast, don't turn around."

Yan Jinghong didn't turn around until the knife at his waist was withdrawn, and the wind whistled in his ears, he turned around again, leaving only a series of footprints in the snow, his body swayed, he fell on the rockery, panting heavily.

"Your Highness!"

Lin Jin came forward with the guards.

Yan Jinghong looked into the distance, his body was on the verge of falling, a fine layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, Lin Jin stepped forward to check: "Your Highness is injured?"

"No problem."

Without looking back, he looked at the direction of the footprints, thoughtfully.

Lin Jin said: "This subordinate will chase after him."

"She is very vigilant, don't get too close." After a moment's pause, Yan Jinghong said again, "You can evacuate after she is safe."

The voice was surprisingly soft.

It's not a chase, it's a cover!His Highness treated this girl so indulgently that it was unimaginable.

"Although the girl is extremely fast, she is not tall. With His Highness's skill, it is not difficult to break free." Lin Jin couldn't help saying, "Why did Your Highness let the assassin go on purpose?"

Yan Jinghong said in a deep voice, "Don't ask too many questions, go quickly."

"Yes."

After people left, footprints in the snow were messy, the palace servants turned on the lights, and there were spots of scarlet on the ground, Yan Jinghong staggered, walked to the pool of blood-stained snow, opened his lips, and called out softly: " evergreen……"

Ten meters away, the palace man shouted: "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

"Yanqing Palace is flooded!"

"The wind is heading north, and the fire is too strong. I'm afraid it won't be extinguished for a while."

"Fortunately, Your Highness, you came out."

Yan Jinghong didn't say a word, the flames in the distance reflected his handsome profile. The 14-year-old young prince, standing in the snow, smiled softly.

At three o'clock in Xu time, Chang Qingfang returned to Chengyang Hall, the reception banquet had already ended, and the hall was empty, only Chi Xiuyuan was waiting there.

"evergreen."

She was in a daze for a long time before answering Chi Xiuyuan's words.

"Where have you been?" He inspected her face a little.

Chang Qing lowered her head: "Walk around as you please."

As he approached, under the light, Chi Xiuyuan realized: "Why did your hand hurt?"

She replied casually: "The flowers in the garden scratched it." The eyelashes drooped, covering all the light and shadow in the eyes.

Chi Xiuyuan stared at her face, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth: "Chengqian Palace met an assassin, and there is no peace in the palace tonight. You go to the concubine Yuan's place for a night, and I will pick you up tomorrow." On Evergreen's arm.

The wound was clearly an arrow wound.This is the first time, Chang Qing lied to him.

If there is a wound, it must be difficult to leave the palace tonight, Chang Qing nodded: "Yeah." She raised her head, looked at the smoke and fire in the distance, and slightly loosened the corners of her tightly pursed lips.

Prince Rongde moved into Yanqing Palace. At [-]:[-] pm, the wind blew the candlesticks, the tassels in the palace were stained with fire, the palace was flooded, and the wind direction was northward. The fire burned all night. Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the previous life, there was this paragraph in the history books.

In the last life, Yan Jinghong went to the Northern Wei Dynasty as a hostage for the crown prince Yan Jingchu. A fire hurt his lungs and he suffered from heart disease. Every time he fell ill, there was no cure.
