Nirvana In Fire

Chapter 32: Distress

About ten miles outside Wangdu West City, there is a turbulent grassland, a clear river flows from the side, and the other side of the river is a dense forest. Due to the clarity of the scenery, the terrain and the proximity of the official road, it has always been a place for your boys to run horses or practice riding.

Horseshoe sounds like rain, along the bank of the river two horse riding before and after, horse like dragon, people like people, Hua Zheng saddle, rarely matched the riding technique, extremely excellent, when the man rushed to rise, turned the horse head, stepped into Hanoi, water splashed, soap boots and arrow coat was soaked.

“Jingrui! Don't go crazy. It's winter. Get up here!” The shoreline strangled the horse and shouted out loudly.

The knight in the water, as if he had not heard, stepped in the water with a jade under his crotch, and the depth of the water gradually reached the belly of the horse.

“Okay!” The shore man also moved, “You're not coming up, are you? Then I'll go down, freeze a lot, and get sick like before..."

With this sentence, the shore man flushed down unambiguously, his companion finally reacted, pulled the horse to stop, two rides and resided on the slope to run up, crossed a small slope, Xiao Jingrui suddenly harvested the rope, jumped off the horse, ran a few steps, suddenly fell to the ground, buried his head in the deep weeds.

Yan Yuzhun shook his head and threw down his horse. He walked over and softly kicked him in the stomach: “Hello, pretending to be dead? ”

The people on the ground did not even hum, black hair scattered on both cheeks, accompanied by the weeds to cover his face strictly.

“I can't help it.” Yan Yuzn sat down beside him and pulled a piece of grass in his mouth. "Didn't you like to pretend to be big since you were a kid? Nobody knows that Brother Xiao is a rare humble gentleman with a generous breast and gentleness. What's wrong with this moment? Brother Su didn't say anything, why did he piss you off like this? ”

Xiao Jingrui turned his back sharply, his face tightened, his eyes staring straight into the sky.

“Tanned your back, changed your belly?” Yan hesitated to lie beside him with a smile and tease his ears with grass leaves. "Are the socks wet? Take off the sun together. ”

“Go away, leave me alone!” Xiao Jingrui opened his hand.

Yan hesitated and raised his eyebrows: “Hey! Look carefully, it's me, I'm not your vent, you've been cold with other friends, don't look for me, I've never been used to cushioning people's nests! ”

Xiao Jingrui sat up and stared at him angrily: "What are you talking about? ”

“I'm scared of you if you stare at me?” Yan Yu Jin stared back, a single voice was higher than a single voice, “you were angry because you felt cold! Since Brother Su told you," Jingrui, don't ask, it's none of your business ", you've been feeling uncomfortable, right? ”

“I didn't...”

“Don't pretend in front of me,” Yan hesitated to say a word and blocked it back, "then went out of the palace, he did not take the carriage, said to walk slowly by himself, something to be prepared to think about, you can not see your face at the time... then chased to accompany him, was it rejected? It's not a condom, it's a refusal, it's a clear statement that you don't want to follow. Why don't you understand? ”

“I get it! ”

“Know what else you bet on? What do you expect him to say to you when you say that like a child? Do you want to hear him say," Jingrui, why are you doing this? I'm sick and you're leaving me to play "? Please, how old are you? Brother Su is right. You don't have to tell him what you want. It's just the truth. You can't just turn around and go, can you? ”

“But we are friends,” Xiao Jingrui bit his lower lip, "shouldn't friends care about each other? ”

Yan Yuzhun shrugged his shoulders and flattened his mouth: “You said you understood. Let me tell you something, Brother Su, say it so, not to refuse you care about him, he really and truly wants to go back slowly by himself! I don't understand why he wants to walk the streets alone. I was going to sneak up on you, but then you turned around and left, and I had to chase you. ”

“You mean…” Xiao Jingrui asked, “Brother Su wants to go alone, not only to think about things, but also for other purposes? ”

Yan Yu Jin smiled a few times and looked at his friend with oblique eyes. “Jingrui, you didn't think that Brother Su would come to Jinling with us until now to support the illness? ”

“I...” Xiao Jingrui infarcted, “Of course I'm not so slow... he doesn't seem to have intentionally tried to hide it from us, he has always let things develop like this...”

“It was no accident that Brother Su was involved in this series of events when he arrived in the capital. All his actions should have his specific purpose, but we don't know exactly what he wants to do. ”

Xiao Jingrui's two thick and clear eyebrows rushed towards the center and squeezed out two lines. He sighed for a long time. “I think I know...”

“You know what?” Yan Yu Jin's eyes were wide open and pressed against him all at once. “Then tell me! ”

“I spoke to Xie Pi. The" Kirin Talent "he mentioned at the time was originally said by the Lord of the Language Palace. The prince and the Yu Wang argued against each other and the roots were here.” Xiao Jingrui pushed the weight on his body, without pushing it, even so. "I think, with Brother Su's ability and the power of Jiang Zuo's alliance, he could not have known about this until he arrived in Beijing...”

“Well," he nodded. “That makes sense. Go on. ”

“Since Brother Su knew that the prince and the king of honor had an interest in him, even if he did not come to the capital, trouble would still come to the door. Maybe it's not just him who gets caught up in it, it's the whole Jiangzuo Alliance. ”

“So the Patriarch went to the capital himself not to lead the trouble to Dongzhou?” Yan hesitated and smiled. "It also makes sense that people like you will speculate. ”

“Of course I'm not that naive!” Xiao Jingrui beat his head above himself with some shame, "but Brother Su was very passive about this! The power of the prince and the king of honor can never be countered by a gang of rivers and lakes. Besides, the Su brothers learned from their bellies. The opportunity to make good decisions also deserves the reputation of Kirin talent. Even if he came to the capital really wanted to choose the Lord, there was nothing wrong with that. The eldest husband is alive. Who doesn't want to build a meritorious career and earn his fame? Besides, you and I can see how much he cares about his Jiang Zuo Alliance. If he succeeds in Beijing City, Jiang Zuo Alliance will have the support of the imperial court, which is one of his aims...”

“What are you going to do?” Yan hesitated to look deeply at him. “He is a river and lake man, but he wants to get involved in political strife in the name of Bo Gong. You clearly are Hou Menzi's brother, but you always want to stay away from the dynasty. You are clearly two people who are against each other. Why do you value him so much? ”

“That's two things! I think Brother Su is important because he is a good friend worth making, doesn't it have anything to do with whether he will enter the service or not? ”

“But the path he chose was not the same as Corporal Tian's.” The tone of hesitation gradually became cold. “Jing Rui, Brother Su is obviously going to be involved in the battle for seizure, don't you feel a little uneasy? ”

Xiao Jingrui thought about it for half a day and sighed. “Yes, I am a little worried, in case his chosen party fails in the future...”

“That's not what I meant." Yan Yuzn interrupted him immediately. "I don't care which way he chose, but you? Aren't you afraid the Sheriff's position is the opposite of his? ”

Xiao Jingrui never really thought of going up this level. After spending half a day eating and eating, he said: "There won't be a problem. Although Xie Pi is a little more inclined towards the king of honor, my father is very neutral...”

“Your father can't be neutral all the time!” Yan Yu Jin asserted, "Your father and my father are not the same. Although my father has a rank, he hung up on idle posts. Your father is the head of Wushen, the pillar stone of the court, and the storage space is the biggest thing in the royal family. Where can he be so easily left out? ”

“But... but...” Xiao Jingrui thought carefully, thinking of the worst place, suddenly felt a creepy, cold sweat.

“Hey, hey,” Yan Yu Jin patted his white cheek quickly, “the chances of five or five opening, it's not low, you don't have to scare yourself like this so early, right? ”

Xiao Jingrui lifted off his friend and looked heavy. “No, I still have to persuade Brother Su. This trip to the station is too messy, he better not come in...”

“Che, you yourself said he was passive, even if he promised you, the prince and the king of honor?” Yan Yu Jin clapped the grass crumbs on his hand, and sat up on the tray leg. "Jing Rui, honestly, things are long past our ability to dictate. I just remind you that friends will not be enemies. Don't be too fond of him. ”

Xiao Jingrui was all stiff. I wonder if he was surprised because he didn't understand why they said this, or because he was shocked because he understood the meaning of his words. He looked at Yan Yu Jin for half a day and didn't answer a word.

“Alas," the never serious uncle of the country rarely showed a serious expression, his hands heavily resting on Xiao Jingrui's shoulder, whispered, “You should also understand that Brother Su is a different person from us, how deep and hard his heart is, what kind of thoughts are in there, we can't see through... but you are different, your heart is too hot, too soft, too real, so listen to me, pull away a little distance, people just keep a general relationship is not good? He's not the same Brother Su you brought into Beijing and promised to take care of him. I'm sure he doesn't have half the time to think of you now. If you still treat him as a good friend as hot as he used to be, you will be the one who loses and gets hurt in the future, you understand? ”

“Yuzu...”

“It was a good friend who said this to you. From now on, you should say to yourself that Su Zhe is a friend of yours who met Pingshui and did not have a deep relationship. You joined him in Beijing, and he rented your guest house. That's all. Stop treating him unilaterally as your own. I don't know how much he knows about you. I only know that you can't be his own in his eyes. Because if you don't like it, Brother Su is a deeply disappeared person, so are you. So am I. We are not qualified to be his acquaintances. ”

Xiao Jingrui had hardly ever seen Yan Yujin speak to him so seriously and seriously. He couldn't help but be shocked. He lowered his head and thought half the time. It's not wrong to think about him. But people have a subtle feeling about each other. Are these three words clear and distinguishable?

“All right, that's it. Take your time.” Yan Yujin jumped up, dragged Xiao Jingrui's arm to pull him up, and revealed a heartless laugh. "Now go with me to Miaoyin Fang. I haven't been there for a long time. Miss Miyagi must have missed me a lot. I heard there was a new tune card from Mr. Xiao. How about we go to the lake to see the lights in the evening? ”

“What else can I do?” Xiao Jingrui whitewashed his eyes. “Do you dare not accompany me? ”

“Ha ha, that's how you get to know each other. You're not afraid of the cold when you're wet. Go. You'll get dressed at Miaotong..."

“Yuzu...”

“Hmm?”

“I'd better get dressed...”

“Come on, your house is in town, Miaoyin Fang is in the West Gate. Can't you tell where it is? ”

Xiao Jingrui's gaze cruised the ground for a while, whispering: “I still want to go back first... I don't know if Brother Su has come home alone...”

Yan hesitated to crumble his shoulders and looked extremely helpless.

“I turned around and left. How did you see his reaction? ”

“Nothing at all.” Yan hesitated and said, “He was really thinking about things. He didn't even notice you were angry, or he took his original steps and slowly walked away. ”

“You also know that he had symptoms of illness after drinking that glass of wine and walked slowly because he was uncomfortable. Even if it's just an ordinary friend, as you said, you should be aware, what if he's halfway fainted? After all, this capital is not Jiang Zuo, and Fei Liu hasn't followed him. He is unfamiliar with his place of life...”

“All right, all right,” Yan Yu Jin raised his hands and admitted to losing, "as if I really didn't have a heart. According to you, find him along the way. If we find him, we'll send him back and listen to the song. Is that what you mean? ”

“Whatever you say, it sounds strange. ”

“Is it me or you?” Yan Yu Jin snorted, “What kind of man is Lord Jiang Zuo's ally? Since the purpose of his visit to Jinling was not to nourish illness, he could never really bring just one flying stream. Other than that, I don't know. The four people who escorted me to Beijing are still living in the city. ”

“Just take a look, I'm afraid in case...”

“I said it's up to you. What are you talking about?” Yan Yujin turned around and pulled the two men's riding. He threw Xiao Jingrui's horse to him. He climbed the saddle himself and reached his left foot into the stamp. His right foot just thrust. Suddenly he shouted "Ouch”.

“What's the matter?” Xiao Jingrui turned his head.

“Stepped on a rock and almost slipped.” Yan Yujin retracted his left foot, dialed the gravel and kicked it off.

The falling point of the stone is a depression of the grassland. Due to the density of the grass, the falling stone itself did not make much noise, but rather the familiar sound of the cord in the grass room was clearer.

“Where are the people listening?” Yan Yujin double-eyebrowed and drank aloud.

“I'll come to you first, why eavesdrop?” A voice rang calmly, "I tried not to disturb you, but a stone fell from the sky and I had to be allowed to hide, didn't I? ”

With this clear voice, two dudes slowly stood up in front of one another. He was wearing a simple silk knitted blouse, tall and long, with a long hair and a half bundle, deep eyes, seemingly smiling and not laughing. He was clearly a young and handsome face, but with white hair hidden between the uss on the forehead, which added a little shade to his temperament.
