I interrupted: "You and Ah You go to help me with some things, and then you can go back to the palace."

The words Bi Ayou floated to me from another place, and now I could see that she was emerging from the big tree beside the eaves, she stared at me anxiously, and lowered her eyes again: "There are many dangers now, the assassins do not know when If we attack again, Zuo and I must never leave the princess's side."

I looked up at the tree and said, "Are there any Tibetans up there? I want to go up and sit down."

Ayou said anxiously: "Your Highness..." Azuo still has to persuade him, I will stop talking nonsense with them, and said solemnly: "Listen to the order."

A Zuo and A You were taken away by me. The soldiers searched the Guozijian and couldn't find any trace of the assassin. I sat alone on a tall tree, looking down at the Guozijian where the crescent moon could shine. Jin Huáng, the appearance of this Li Dusu before and after death is spinning back and forth in my mind, I can't describe my feelings, some truths are called out, but I dare not think deeply, I closed my eyes and counted, Feel the night wind blowing, and the autumn clothes are cool and thin.

I thought, I should have taken a nap.

When I opened my eyes, Guozijian had recovered to a peaceful state. I looked down at the tree, thinking about how to go down, but when I looked, I saw a back figure shrouded in green robes.

The owner of Qingying took out a jade Xiao from his sleeve, and slowly played a song that was as soft as blue silk, revealing a sad beauty.

It was Nie Ran again.

I sighed lightly.

As an official who temporarily sacrificed to the wine seat on behalf of Siye, he usually wanders around without incident, so why is he still so leisurely when he has been killed? After thinking about it, it's okay, as the princess of the supervisory country who doesn't know how to govern the country, even if you pretend to be dead, it's pretty good. What position is there to laugh at others who lied on a tree and climbed to sleep in the middle of the night.

I quietly looked at Nie Ran's silhouette, and suddenly I remembered something I said in a fit of anger in front of the Niu's village house. At that time, Xu Fang had recovered his memory and looked at the setting sun with his hands behind his back, and said: " Growing up in a rich and noble family, lust is like a fierce fire, power is like a flame, if it doesn't have some cool smell, if its flame doesn't burn people, it will surely flicker."

At that time, Xu Fang... was talking about himself.

I sighed again, and this sigh came out inadvertently, Nie Ran turned around with his sleeves down, raised his head and looked up.

I had nowhere to hide except to meet his slightly surprised eyes.

Nie Ran didn't ask any questions, just kept looking up at me. I raised my hand awkwardly and said, "Can Nie Siye get me down?"

Nie Ran took me down the tree with one jump and another, and before I could boast about his feats, he said, "You have a good place to hide, if someone finds the deceased Princess Xiangyi and appears there At the scene of the murder case at the Guozijian, there will inevitably be a bloody storm."

I patted the leaves on my body and said, "What kind of climate can a substitute become?"

Nie Ran said, "Until no one exposes you, what's the difference between you and the real princess?"

I continued his words: "Master Nie means that my identity will always be revealed one day?"

Nie Ran looked at me with a stern face.

I laughed at myself and shrugged, "So the bloody storm is not avoided, but the time has not come?"

Seeing my attitude, Nie Ran said, "I still think you will feel sorry for Li and Du Fei."

I said, "I still think that you are busy handling the funeral for them."

Nie Ran froze and said, "I don't want you to be so ignorant."

I touched my nose and said, "I think it was Lord Nie who was wandering around me at all times and was accidentally infected."

Nie Ran's face was clear and his eyes were confused. I was too lazy to be poor with him, but when I was about to go around, he grabbed his arm, which hurt: "What are you thinking about? What do you want to do? What? Someone is going to kill you, someone is dying because of you, and you are still obsessed with it? Are you willing to be used by others?"

After he finished speaking, I was stunned, and I came back to my senses after a while, and tilted my head to look at him: "So you all know, you know that Li Dusu died because of me, and you also know that I am trapped here, but pretending to be I don't know, keep your mouth shut?"

Nie Ran was silent, I knew I couldn't get rid of him, so he smiled: "It turns out that the mantis catching the cicadas is behind, since you have your plan, then take good care of your birds, why bother to provoke me like this? What about Xiaochan? For the time being, you don't have to face the front, why don't you continue to watch the fire from the other side and take advantage of the fisherman?"

Nie Ran looked at me in shock and was speechless.

I asked with a smile: "Do you suddenly think it's safer to kill me? Otherwise, someday Xiaochan will become an eagle, and you group of birds can't eat and walk around?"

The night, which was already silent, was even more silent. Nie Ran lowered his voice and said, "How much do you know?"

I sighed tiredly: "If I said that I was just talking nonsense, would you be extremely annoyed because of your guilty conscience? Master Nie, Shizi Nie, you have been saying things that are untrue and unpredictable time and time again. Are you deliberately trying to confuse the public with your words? As long as you are still a little sensible, please continue to hide your strengths and bide your time, don’t advance your scheming schemes in advance, and each party can seize the benefits they want according to their abilities, and don’t make extravagants, okay?”

Nie Ran: "..."

I touched the corners of my dry eyes, and my heart was filled with panic, "I haven't slept for almost three days. I didn't expect Li to ask Du Fei, Su Qiao and the others...they..."

The next moment, he couldn't help leaning forward, and Nie Ran suddenly pulled me into his arms: "No need to say more."

I was stunned, this leaning, this moment, solidly overlapped with the phantom of that day's warm embrace.

Unfamiliar tone, familiar embrace, unfamiliar place, inexplicable peace of mind.

This time, really don't know how to say it.

In the quiet night, there was a thunderous sound, pulling me back from the daze.

I took a step back and only listened to him: "I just don't want to see anything happen to you, after all you..."

After all, did you like him after all?

It was raining densely in the sky, he didn't say anything after all, he just took off his robe and covered me with his head, then let go, let the rain drip on him, and walked away.

I really wanted to stand for a while with this mood, but Nie Ran's cloth robe was not protected from the rain, so he had to jog all the way back to the prison, and only then did he remember the existence of Lu Lingjun, he, I wonder if he is okay?

But he was not in his room. I saw that the wooden cabinet where the clothes were placed on weekdays was empty, and I couldn't help but padded my heart. When I heard the rain outside the window getting stronger, I was thinking about such a critical moment. Where can I go?

My hand rubbing my brows stopped in the air, suddenly recalling a place.

Guozijian has a clean place near the water. The green slopes are close to the river. There are no tiles or trees around, which is a little desolate. Generally, the prison students do not like to go there, but Lu Lingjun and the others like to run there for whatever reason, such as secretly. I know a thing or two about roasting a ròu.

By the time I got there, the showers were fading away, the dark clouds drifted away, and the crescent moon pointed again.

Lu Lingjun stood on the top of the slope, his dark figure didn't move for a long time, don't know what he was thinking.

I walked up to him with an umbrella and saw that he was soaking wet and the rain was dripping, and said, "Brother Lu, the rain has almost stopped."

Lu Lingjun turned to look at me, took off his robes, took advantage of the situation, and squeezed with me under the shabby umbrella.

I:"……"

Lu Lingjun asked, "Where have you been? I haven't been able to find you."

"Me? I... go and be quiet."

Lu Lingjun snorted and called me in a low voice, "Brother Bai."

"Um?"

"Brother Bai Xian."

"……Um."

"I feel bad."

I nodded, "Me too."

Lu Lingjun said: "Actually...I don't have a deep relationship with them, in fact...Li Wen is really a very boring guy, in fact...Du Fei cares about like a woman, in fact...Su Qiao It's really long-winded..."

I nodded again: "I know."

"But I'm very sad. Those, those who have never cared about coming to Japan on weekdays, can they only become memories?"

Lu Lingjun paused, and his voice was surprisingly soft: "Brother Bai, are you wary of me because you don't know anything about me, and don't consider me a true friend?"

"Is it possible that adult friends want to track down their details one by one?" I shook my head and said, "It's just that if I can reveal my sincerity, then I will naturally be deeper... Thinking about it like this, I really don't seem to have any special feelings. Where's my friend... Brother Lu, do you have one?"

Lu Lingjun was uncharacteristically, his face no longer the same as before, "Brother Bai, when I was so young, I liked a little girl..."

I interrupted his recollection: "So small...how small is it?"

Lu Lingjun took a half step back and explained: "I just made a gesture of my height when I was a child...about ten years old..."

"Then?"

"Then, I made a promise with her, and I haven't seen her since."

"……Um."

"Later I grew up, I met many people and experienced many things, but I never forgot my promise with her. Maybe she had forgotten my existence, but I always had a glimmer of hope to see her again, so I Came to Bianliang."

"Unfortunately, it seems... I came a little late. In short, I couldn't meet her."

"I'm very disappointed. To be honest, I don't have much interest in careers. For me, being bound in the Imperial College is by no means pleasant...until I met someone who...was interesting, at least , I like to stay with him and listen to him talk. For a while, I almost suspected that I had a broken sleeve... One time, I accidentally found out that he was a girl. I was really shocked and happy... …”

"Brother Bai, when you hear this, you should know who I am talking about, right?"

I had a lot of thoughts, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said calmly: "Actually, when you mention it, I know you are talking about me."

The sky in the east was faintly blue, and the sky was about to dawn. Lu Lingjun asked without end, "Brother Bai, you say, is friendship more important in this world, or love?"

I gān smiled and said, "Forgive my stupidity, how come I didn't hear, that little girl and that 'him', which is your friend and which is your love? Isn't it all love? Brother Lu... Huaxin Just boldly admit that it's not shameful for a man to be distracted..."

Lu Lingjun suddenly raised his sleeves, and even his tone became desolate: "Brother Bai, can you deny that you really listened to me! After tonight, I'm afraid... I won't have the chance to tell you again..."

I didn't ask him why he made this statement. After a long time, I replied, "It's not the point that your friend loves you more or less. The point is, Brother Lu, you've already made a decision, haven't you?"

I stood face to face with Lu Lingjun, his eyes showed too much, he couldn't hide it at all, he stretched his arms around me, resting his chin on my shoulder, and said softly, "Brother Bai, I choose you …”

Then I heard a screeching sound.

accompanied by sharp pain. It was as if something precious was shattered in an instant.
