The voices and footsteps outside gradually faded away, and Clear Sky Workshop became quiet again.

After a while, the attendant pushed open the door and came back to report: "My lord, the shopkeeper has already disappeared the news of that person. The fifth young master Xiao was about to chase after him again, but the two of them have disappeared in the crowd."

Cui Gui responded after listening, and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, for him, it was just a coincidence that he bumped into it, and it was easy to do.

Qi Zeqing poured wine for him, and asked, "There are many disputes about the court affairs. I would like to ask you a question, what does Your Majesty mean?"

Cui Guidao: "This old man has no students, so Zeqing doesn't have to call himself that."

Qi Zeqing clapped his hands, and forced a smile: "Shoufu is the top literati in the world, and there is no one in the world who is not the student of Shoufu."

Cui Gui drank half a sip of wine and didn't refuse any more. What he meant was that, a false name is fine, but as for students and teachers, it doesn't matter.

Cui Gui had students in the past, and he studied hard in the cold window. Scholars who entered the imperial examination could not have no teachers and classmates, but Cui Gui lost everything more than ten years ago.

There were only a few candles lit in the room, and Cui Gui didn't like too bright lights: "Your Majesty means...it's not interesting, he seems to have tacitly agreed that the princess will choose a son-in-law, and now the fight is about choosing a son-in-law."

Qi Zeqing was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, didn't you stop the princess from getting married?"

Cui Gui nodded: "That's what it means. So now the fight is over which son-in-law to choose. Is it Jiang Yiwei, who is famous for his pure filial piety, from a family of farming and education, or a son of Zhilan Yushu from a famous family, or the son-in-law of a minister's family."

When he looked up, he saw Qi Zeqing's troubled face, and asked, "What? Don't you want to?"

Qi Zeqing almost gave up his official career, just to reassure outsiders and be able to be a gentleman beside the princess in a stable manner.So although his official position is low, firstly he is Cheng Zhili's closed disciple, secondly because he has such a reputation, he has a high prestige in Qingliu.

And the current situation in the court, although not the best result, is much better than most people expected.

Originally, thought that would have to entangle with the emperor for a long time whether the princess should get married or not.

Qi Zeqing looked at Cui Gui, pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the whole story about the "young master" in the last conversation with Rong Jian, he sincerely said: "Although the former minister taught by His Highness, the princess has a cautious personality and does not reveal this.It wasn't until a few months ago that she came to Yangfuzhai to study, that she showed her sharpness. After hearing these words, the minister suddenly realized. Although the princess is not talented now, she must be a piece of rough jade, and the chief assistant can tell it at the first sight.That being the case, why not respect His Highness?"

Cui Gui didn't speak for a while after hearing this, his expression didn't change. He didn't know how many storms he had gone through, but he wouldn't shake his heart because of such a little thing: "If it's as you said, Your Highness is really extraordinary. But if you want to use the princess'sIt is too difficult to ascend to the throne of God with one's identity."

His figure looked thinner and older under such dim light: "People have to accept old age, I hope to take the safest path."

Qi Zeqing looked at him, as if he had just realized his age. Cui Gui was already in his seventies, past the age at which ordinary officials beg for bones to support their lives.

But such a big Da Yin, with so many scholars, except Cui Gui, no one can support the current cabinet and court, and he cannot retreat.

After Rong Shihuai entered Beijing, he beheaded the eunuchs and slaughtered the royal family, but he did not cleanse the officials in the court after he ascended the throne.He said that he was born in poverty, and most of his subordinates were military generals. He had no experience in governing the world, and he only hoped that the ministers of the previous court would be willing to serve him and let the past go.

Cui Gui's official career in the previous dynasty was not smooth. After being admitted as a Jinshi, he spent many years dealing with floods and was in charge of farming affairs. When the building was about to collapse, he was recalled to Capital and became a cabinet member.

But Rong Shihuai said that anyone who is capable can enter the Jinluan Palace, and on the second day after the decree was restored to the court, Cui Gui took a carriage to the Taiping Palace as usual.

The literati who swore to keep the chastity for the former court were greatly disdainful, and went to Cui Gui's mansion to scold him face to face for not being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, which disgraced the face of the majority of Confucian scholars.

Cui Gui was unmoved: "If I don't go to court today, the floods on both sides of the Huaihe River will not stop because of this."

The man said: "Is it true that you, Cui Gui, are the only one who can do things in this world?"

Cui Guihui asked, "So are you going to court today?"

After finishing speaking, he boarded the carriage and left without hesitation.

However, Cui Gui, as a cabinet elder, did not hesitate to become an official, and other officials seemed to have a step to step down. Whether it was reluctant to give up power or wanted to benefit the people, the new dynasty was too short of people.

In the first few years, Cui Gui almost severed all his previous relationships, but he was too skilled, tough yet tactful, Rong Shihuai promoted him to be the chief assistant.

Later, because Cheng Zhili supported Cui Gui, and the literati in the world really needed a chief assistant like Cui Gui, they temporarily let go of their prejudices.

But even though Rong Shihuai was so promoted and admired, when Fei Jinyi had just ascended the throne, Cui Gui, as the chief minister of the cabinet, did not clearly express his support for the princess.Put it on the princess.

Up to now, Cui Gui has survived through three dynasties, and he was not careless when he was in office. However, many people secretly call him a family slave with three surnames.

Greed for power, love of vanity, shameless, all kinds of suspicions, no one can make a conclusion.Cui Gui is such a person who serves the masters of the three surnames. When he dies in the future, he will have no disciples and will be attacked by thousands of people.But before and after death, Cui Gui didn't care about merits and demerits.

Cheng Zhili once said that Cui Gui was a person who abandoned himself, and Qi Zeqing admired him extremely, because he couldn't do such a thing.

Qi Zeqing thought for a while in a daze, only to see Cui Gui put down the empty wine cup, and said slowly: "People have to obey their old age, what did you say about the princess just now?"

Qi Zeqing didn't understand what he meant.

Cui Gui didn't explain, but said: "Zeqing, please write a note for me."

Rong Jian didn't know how long he ran.

He just grabbed Mingye's wrist, didn't know the way, didn't know where he was going, randomly chose left and right at every fork in the road, and continued to escape.

Mingye behind him just followed, as if he could do whatever he wanted, and he supported it.

The wind outside was so strong that it blew the tulle on the curtain so that it was crumbling, and it covered her face tightly a lot of the time. Rong Jian found it troublesome, so she simply took it off and threw it aside. Even the passers-by looked at it in amazement.Two eyes.

Rong Jian hadn't been like this for a long time, he only cared about the road ahead, and then he explained after panting: "You can't be caught, it's over if you catch it."

In fact, it can't be finished.Rong JIan understands very well.

Maybe it's not to escape from those people, and to escape to a place where no one in this world knows me with the people around me.

Get out of that cage, even for one fleeting night like this.

However, this body is very fragile, Rong Jian's will can decide a temporary burst, but it won't last long, Rong Jian feels tired, his legs are so heavy, no matter how much effort he exerts, he can't move it..

Akino seemed to have noticed it too, he put his hand in front of Rong Jian, allowing Rong Jian to hold it.

Rong Jian really grabbed the life-saving straw in front of him, he finally stopped, had to bow his waist, and breathed very quickly.

Akeno raised his hand, and patted Rong Jian's back lightly.

Rong JIan didn't have much strength, he almost put his whole body on that arm, he didn't think too much, he instinctively felt that Akino was the one who could hold him up and never fall down.

After a while, Rong Jian finally recovered, and the lungs that didn't hurt like before seemed to be torn apart.

This is a narrow alley surrounded by houses, and it is very quiet now, as if they have fallen asleep.

Rong Jian said in a low voice, "Why don't you ask what happened?"

Akeno was still holding Rong Jian's arm, and he could probably guess some of them, from the faces, clothes, and faces standing behind those people, but he still asked Rong Jian's meaning: "What's the matter?"?”

Rong Jian was very proud and said: "I taught a very disgusting apprentice, I didn't use any tricks, I just beat him up."

Ming Ye was taken aback, this was something he didn't expect, his first reaction was to ask Rong Jian if he was injured, but what he said was the kind that made Rong Jian happier.

He asked, "How did Miss teach him a lesson?"

Rong JIan was not sluggish because of his physical discomfort, he was in a good mood, coughing and describing the situation at the time, while still showing off: "I was standing at the door, waiting for you to pay the bill and come to pick me up.Someone suddenly tore off the tulle on the curtain, drunk and smelly, and wanted to drag me into his private room. Of course, I couldn't catch him without a fight, kick him down all at once, and then grabbed his back collar and pulled me into his private room.Bumped his head against a side post."

Speaking of this, Rong Jian said seriously: "It's a pity, you didn't see it."

Ming Ye nodded: "It's a pity. Your Highness is so powerful, but I couldn't see it."

Rong Jian let out a "huh" and said without much hesitation: "I thought you would, but I don't agree with that."

Akeno is a very rational person and always makes rational decisions.Under the circumstances at that time, no matter what, it was not a good choice to beat up that person and provoke him.

Akeno breathed quietly, he was silent for a moment, his voice was very gentle: "It's nothing, I'll teach you a lesson like that. I hope Miss can be happier."

It's not that there is no other way, it's not that this method is good, but that nothing else will make Rong JIan so happy.

that's it.

Akeno didn't ask about that person's appearance, because that was unnecessary.After tonight, he will naturally find out who that person is.

Rong Jian was very proud of hearing Ming Ye's words, but he was a little embarrassed instead. He turned his head and said "oh", and after a while, he dawdled and said, "...then I am quite happy."

The two walked out along the alley like this, but the surrounding houses were very crowded, and many houses had been reinforced and rebuilt, occupying the original road, making the road conditions even more complicated. People who don't live here all year round can't tell the difference between south, east and north., I couldn't find the exit for a while.

Akeno looked around, but couldn't remember the way back.If he follows his practice, no matter when and where, he will record the direction of every intersection and turn, and know how to go back.

But when Rong Jian held his hand and ran so casually, Ming Ye also forgot about those things, he didn't think about anything, and he didn't remember anything.

Akeno lowered his head and smiled slightly: "Being in it, it's better to climb high and look far away."

Rong JIan: "?"

What's the meaning?

In the next moment, Akeno climbed up the courtyard wall beside him, and stretched out his hand towards him.

Over the wall, isn't it bad...

Then, Rong Jian held Ming Ye's hand, flipped it up regardless, but the skirt was a bit troublesome, almost stepped on it and fell down.

Ming Ye was very worried.

But Rong Jian walked a few steps on top of the wall, looked down at everything from a high position, and saw the lights in the distance.He thought it was fun, so he let go of Mingye's hand and said he wanted to play by himself.

In fact, Rong Jian has always been a well-behaved student since he grew up to this age, and has never done anything out of the ordinary.Because he doesn't have the love of his parents, and he doesn't have elders who can cover for him.From a very young age, Rong Jian hoped to grow up quickly, so that he could make money by himself, so that his grandmother would not have to work so hard.But his grandmother passed away when he was in his third year of high school. Before his death, he hoped that Rong could be admitted to a good university and have a bright future.

After entering university, Rong Jian felt that he was an adult, and he didn't act like a libertine. Those college students confessed to the right and wrong on the wall, and he had never experienced it.In the past four years, I have been studying hard to prepare for becoming a qualified social animal in the future.

But with Ming Ye, he didn't have to do that.

Rong Jian turned his head, saw Ming Ye who was a few steps behind, and said willfully: "I don't need your help, I'm very powerful, and I can do it myself."

As for finding the way, have long forgotten it.

Ming Ye smiled and said yes, to accompany Rong JIan, who is rarely self-willed.

The night was getting dark, the owner got up to go to the toilet at night, and vaguely saw two furtive figures standing on the wall, but he didn't bother to take a closer look, and released the locked dog in the yard.

"There are thieves, Rhubarb, catch the thieves!"

The ferocious dog came out of the cage and rushed towards the thief shadow.

The wall was already low, and Rong Jian was wearing a long skirt, and the hem of the skirt hung down along the wall.The dog was big and looked quite fierce, and it was about to pounce on it.

Rong Jian held up the corner of her skirt, trying to hide on the narrow wall: "Ah, ah, ah, I'm not a thief, don't bite me!"

It's a pity that dogs can't understand human words, and the owner of the house is not so soft-hearted.

Rong Jian stood where he was, and didn't care about anything else: "Ming Ye! Help! Help!"

Before he finished speaking, Mingye had already arrived behind Rong Jian, stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms, and sighed softly: "Miss is really..."

Rong JIan didn't dare to move, and was hugged by Ming Ye very meekly.

But the master stared dumbfounded at the two people on the wall soaring into the air, and murmured to himself: "The world has become so difficult. Does even such a powerful knight-errant have to steal for a living?"

Ming Ye embraced Rong Jian's knees and back, jumped up from the fence, landed on the branch of the locust tree beside him, walked quickly on the fence, jumped up again, and passed the branches one after another.

Rong Jian reacted slowly, Mingye seemed to know how to do light work, and he seemed to fly.

Is such an unscientific thing okay?Can people really fly?

There are countless questions in Rong Jian's mind.

Maybe there is no child who has not dreamed of becoming a hero, as light as a swallow, and coming and going freely, but when he grows up to this age, Rong Jian finally experienced it for a while, only to realize that he is Ye Gong and a good dragon.

Rong Jian was so frightened that he didn't even dare to turn his head away, he could feel the cold wind blowing over his face, and curled up in Ming Ye's arms, he had to wrap his hands around Ming Ye's neck for fear of falling off.

Akeno tried to adjust his posture, trying to make him more comfortable, and whispered: "Don't be afraid."

Rong Jian closed his eyes and didn't look at anything. He leaned on Mingye's chest, could feel the vibration in his chest, and said slowly: "When I hit someone, I was still thinking, just hit it, and the other party can fly over the wallNo?"

I didn't expect to let him know what flying over the roof is tonight.

None of this was ever written in The Bad Seed.

But the main line of "The Evil Seed" is to conquer the world, not a knight who walks the rivers and lakes and always marches to fight. It is impossible to win the head of the opponent's general out of thousands of people by light work, so it is normal for Alienation to not write about Mingye's light work.

Rong Jian calmed down and thought about it for a while, and he wasn't so scared anymore.

Akeno held him firmly, and the two of them stuck so close.

Rong JIan felt that he was constantly up and down, leaving one place and going to another.Occasionally Akino's high ponytail and the satin that tied his hair would hang down his face, it didn't hurt, it was just a little itchy, it was a very novel feeling.

In such a silent late night, he was hugged by Ming Ye, passing by a certain corner of Capital.

Akeno will not abandon himself.

With that in mind, Rong Jian tried to loosen his left hand and spread it to his side.

Every time a new branch is brushed, Rong JIan will have a new feeling that he has never had before.The buds of early plums, the needles of pine and cypress, the branches of osmanthus, the dead wood with fallen leaves, Rong JIan can feel them trembling at his fingertips.

But what remember most is the sound of Ming Ye's heart beating in his chest.

Perhaps because of too much experience tonight, Rong JIan's brain was overloaded, and he began to make some very mentally retarded speeches: "I feel like I'm dreaming, or I'm going crazy."

Akino let out a "huh", his hair hanging down on Rong Jian's face, and said softly, "I'm staying with Your Highness."

It means that it doesn't matter even if it's a dream or crazy, Ming Ye will accompany Rong Jian and nothing will happen.

Rong Jian withdrew his hand, and he pressed his face even tighter, as if he was reluctant to let go: "Ming Ye, you can..."

For a moment, he actually had such greed, wishing that Ming Ye would stay by his side forever, accompany him like this forever, protect himself, comfort freedom, and let him do all the willful things.

Except for Ming Ye, no one else can.Rong JIan is very clear.

His words stopped there, Mingye asked: "What's wrong?"

Rong Jian didn't allow himself to continue talking.He won't pretend to be passionate, but there is a strong omen that as long as he speaks out, Akeno will definitely agree.

He will say yes.

Rong JIan can't do that.Akeno has a magnificent life and a promising future. He is the hero of "The Evil Seed", and he will leave his name in the history of this real world. He deserves the best of everything.

He will be remembered by everyone as an invincible rebel, as a general who excavated wizards, and as an emperor who shines through the annals of history.

Rather than, not by my side.

Thinking of this, Rong Jian shook his head, and he said slowly and coquettishly: "It's nothing. Just, I'm so happy."
