When it was the day of Xiumu, Chen Yubai sent someone to send his young apprentice back to Zhennan Palace, and promised to pick him up in person in ten days.
Unexpectedly, just two days after Ji Xiaoli returned, news suddenly came from the front line in Xili: Ji Dong led troops to raid the enemy half a month ago, but he has not returned yet, and his life and death are uncertain.
What was written in black and white on the letter was "I haven't returned yet, life and death are uncertain", but Zhennan Wangfu has been in the army for generations, and how many Ji Jialangs have sacrificed their lives for the country. They know better than anyone: life or death on the battlefield, how can life and death be unknown? He hasn't returned for more than half a month. If he wasn't captured, he might be... dead without a body.
And Ji Jiaerlang was never a prisoner.
Princess Yanyang passed out as soon as she heard the news.
Things are far more than that simple - Wu Gan, the chief general who fought in Xili, said in the military newspaper that he "has no commander in chief, makes his own decisions, does not follow military orders, and eventually leads to bad results."
The Zhennan Palace was in turmoil for a while.
The three brothers of the Ji family resolutely entered the palace together for the sake of the elder brother and the Ji family army, and invited them to go to Xili. This matter is related to the important matter of Zhennan Prince's son, General Ji Nan, His Highness the Second Prince naturally worked hard, and once again came to the National Teacher's Mansion to ask his younger brother to come forward to recommend Ji Nan. In order to fear that the national teacher would be cold-hearted towards him as usual, he got a thunderbolt from nowhere and held it in his hand to negotiate with the national teacher: Don't you want to marry a wife? I'll help you! But now you help me first!
Qin Sang also meant the same thing before, and both of them used his little apprentice to threaten him, Chen Yubai was so annoyed! Qin Sang is Xiaoli's biological sister, so let him forget it, but Murong Yan, a bastard, should be remembered for a long time. The master of the state recommended to the emperor that little general Ji Nan led troops to go to Xili, and at the same time made a divination, which was conclusive. It is said that the second prince is a lucky general in this battle, and he needs to accompany him as an army supervisor, so that the Dayehu Division can win the victory.
Thus, the second prince, who was the most elegant in Shangjing, wore a moon white robe and rode on a tall horse, and flew to the Xili battlefield to stay and fly with the little general Ji Nan.
When the army left the city, Chen Yubai felt refreshed at the thought of not having to see his second senior brother for a few months. He was concentrating on writing formulas for teaching lightness kung fu, when Xiaotian suddenly came in and said: Miss Xiaoli is back, she is almost at the door.
The person who was writing by the window put his pen on his lips and said casually, "Got it."
After collecting the things and looking up, seeing the little boy standing there, he smiled and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"
"Oh...it's nothing!" Xiaotian woke up as soon as he frowned.
That's right, this is the grown-up of his family! The smiling eyes just now... who is it? !
It must be an illusion!
Just as Chen Yubai put away the half-written formula, she rushed in like a gust of wind.
"Master! You can change my eldest brother back! The princess is crying every day, and she is already sick!" She said to him anxiously as soon as she came in.
The little girl probably sneaked out from the mansion and came here alone on horseback, her temples were glistening with sweat, Chen Yubai frowned in disgust, and ordered Xiaotian to twist the handkerchief to wipe her.
"I didn't cry!" She let go of the boy's hand, knelt down on the couch beside Chen Yubai's feet, and begged: "Master can save Xiao Hui, and I will definitely save my elder brother too! I beg Master! Save my elder brother back!" Bar!"
Xiao Tian, who was holding a handkerchief at the side, looked at her in surprise.
Chen Yubai took the handkerchief from the boy, and waved his hand to order him to retreat.
He pressed the sweat from her temples with a veil, his movements were light, and his voice was a little softer than usual: "I once taught you a word, it was what my master said to me when I was apprenticed: Everyone has his own destiny."
Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Yes... Master said."
He also taught her: what happens, what happens. Everything in this world has a definite number.
She remembered his words, but...but Jidong is her big brother! When the little ones got into trouble since they were young, it was Ji Dong who lied and cleaned them up for them. Every time his father caught him, the first and the heaviest hit was the elder brother! This is the case every time, but next time, the elder brother will still take care of them.
She practiced immortality not only to meet her parents in the sky, but also to become a fairy with boundless magic power to bless the people she cares about in this world!
Now she just wants Ji Dong to go home well!
What she thought in her heart was clearly written on her face, and Chen Yubai could see it clearly.
"Ji Dong is the son of King Zhennan, and the battlefield is his choice and destination. Princess Yanyang hoped that her son would make great achievements, and she should bear everything today. Ji Xiaoli, you have been yelling about cultivating immortals all day long." , do you know that gods don't know how to enjoy life, don't know how to hate death, and can't get involved in the mundane world? These life, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, gods have seen it for thousands of years, and there is no sorrow or joy."
"You're talking nonsense! Immortals are not like that! What you said is wrong!" Ji Xiaoli was in a hurry. No one had ever told her these words. To be like that... I would rather not become a fairy!"
Chen Yubai raised an eyebrow when he heard this.
Originally, it was to tell her not to be sad, but she didn't expect such unexpected gains.
"That's fine," he said.
He looked relaxed, but Ji Xiaoli's heart was on fire. Due to his prestige in the past, she didn't dare to throw a thunderbolt at his face, and stomped her feet resentfully, turned her head and ran away. None of them returned.
**
When Xiao Li returned to the mansion, it happened that Princess Zhennan had just come from Princess Yanyang. Seeing her coming in sweating profusely, she frowned and called her to him: "Where did you go to play again? Your princess has been here for a few days. You're in a bad mood, you can't make her angry anymore!"
"I haven't." Ji Xiaoli lowered his head, "I went to find my master."
"Have you gone to the National Teacher's Mansion?" Wang Hao asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were going to rest for ten days? Why did you go back again?"
"I'll ask Master... Once before, Brother Ji Xi asked Master to do a fortune-telling for the eldest brother. At that time, the master clearly said that the eldest brother was blessed and glorious, why is it still like this now?"
Princess Zhennan also let out a long sigh when she heard this, and comforted the young girl, saying: "Don't worry, your elder brother Ji Nan has already led the army to Xili, and he will definitely bring your eldest brother back! The Master of the State Teacher is the Master of Xuanwu and the old State Teacher. My lord's closed disciple, the skill of divination is unparalleled in the world, he can't make a mistake, your eldest brother must be a person with profound blessings, and the Ji family is full of triumphant glory!"
Ji Xiaoli nodded sincerely.
Wait—a close disciple? Why does it sound so familiar
"... Close disciple?" She murmured.
Princess Zhennan showed a smile, "Speaking of which, you are indeed destined to be with Master Guoshi. You met once when you were young! When I took you and Ji Nan to the Guoshi Mansion, you made Master Guoshi angry. remember?"
remember!
Of course Xiaoli remembers!
That child who was so anxious with her that he couldn't figure out his fate!
Why... how could a child grow up like this!
Ji Xiaoli stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
**
In the National Teacher's Mansion, the person who is unparalleled in divination can't even count what the princess said at this time, so he didn't know that his identity of only closing the door had been exposed, standing by the window facing the breeze and tasting incense Ming, Chen Yubai was worrying about the scene where she just turned around and ran away, unable to scream.
The matter of cultivating immortals has to be exposed, it is impossible to lie to her for a lifetime, it would be better to dispel her thoughts earlier. But without the thought of cultivating immortals, would that girl just turn around and run away like just now, refusing to even pay attention to him
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
This girl has lost her temper, and dares to turn around and run away if she disagrees with her? !
Master Guoshi's teeth were itchy, thinking in his heart: Hmph! If Chen Yubai hadn't been a person who kept his promise, he would have set up a formation immediately so that she would never come back in this life! Didn't you leave him and run away? If you run away, don't come back!
Of course Ji Xiaoli did not come back.
For several long hours, only Xia Chan's voice was heard in the quiet Guoshi Mansion.
It has been like this for many years, but today it feels extraordinarily quiet.
Master Guoshi stayed in this quiet place for a long time, and he was dissatisfied: why did she run away? You can't get used to her problem!
So he stood by the window for an afternoon and an evening, the moon had just hung over the treetops, and he proudly went to the Zhennan Palace.
**
The layout of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is simple and grand, and there is only one girl. The Master Guoshi found Mu Huanxuan without much effort, and walked in with his head held high.
All the servants in her yard were as stupid as the master, and he walked all the way into the boudoir, but no one noticed him.
In the boudoir, the small window to the south was open, and there was a person lying on the dressing table by the window, facing the moon outside the window, meditating silently and sighing.
Chen Yubai stood quietly behind her for a while, she didn't notice his intention at all.
He frowned.
Taking the initiative to call her out... It's too disrespectful, Master Guoshi.
He thought for a while, and with a flash of his figure, he went out and jumped onto the roof, and then jumped down from above—a handsome young man in black, with wide sleeves and wide sleeves, came lightly under the moonlight and fell on the girl. In front of the window of Xiaoxuan, standing brightly, is as handsome as the moonlight.
how beautiful!
It's a pity... the towering tree outside the Huanhuanxuan is a centuries-old spirit, bathed in the moonlight, and suddenly a sharp and cold aura descends from the sky. The tree spirit has never met before, and screamed "Ah!" stand up!
The drowsy person on the dressing table was awakened by the tree spirit's screams. As soon as she opened her eyes, a huge black shadow fell from the moon on the treetops. The bullet hit the shadow from the window...
The method of throwing the concealed weapon was taught by the master of the state teacher, and the thunderbolt exploded in the bag in mid-air, and there was smoke, noise, and... the thick fragrance of gardenias in the yard...
Chen Yubai jumped up the tree with a dark face. His black ice silk suit was the same color as the shadow of the tree, and the guards who rushed into the courtyard didn't even notice it.
The family is used to Ji Xiaoli's surprises, and they heard her say that there was a black shadow falling from the sky... The guards looked at each other, checked around for a while and then dispersed.
But Ji Xiaoli was sure that he read it right!
Holding the thunderbolt, she cautiously stuck her head out of the window.
Then she saw the familiar gloomy face of her master.
This time she didn't scream out loud - Master Guoshi shot like lightning and covered her mouth.
The tender little face was in the palm of the hand, and the pink lips moved slightly with the sound of "Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Seeing that it was his little girl, he fell silent, but he didn't take his hand back for a while.
One was lying on the window with his mouth covered, and the other was standing outside the window with a cold face. The moon in the sky could not bear to see it, and hid in the clouds.
He finally withdrew his hand, Xiao Li was still lying there, looking up at him with his head up, and softly called: "Master!"
Chen Yubai's mood was gone when he came, and he gave her a cold look amidst the rich and intoxicating fragrance of gardenias in the yard.
But her eyes were so hot that she was almost obsessed, as if he was an old friend she had reunited with after a long time. When Chen Yubai was looked at by her like this, the smoky scent of gardenias on his nose was a little more elegant.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoli continued: "So you are the kid who can't tell fortunes and can only close the door!" She was amazed, "You have grown up so much!"
