Bai Lanshi got up and took out the sword box from under the bed. Although the sword box was placed under the bed, there was no dust on it. One can imagine how much the master cherished it.
He took out the saber from the sword box, carried it in his hands and walked barefoot to the wooden bridge in the courtyard.
The man was dressed in a white tulle light clothing, his hair was loosely tied with a hairband, and he was holding a three-foot long sword, the blade of which shone silver in the moonlight.
Relying on the memory of his body, Bai Lanshi wielded the long sword. His movement was beautiful and neat. The white magnolias were forced to wither by the sword energy and floated in the air. But after a few strokes, the man was exhausted and fell on the wooden board , The long sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound, startling the carp in the pond next to it.
Bai Lanshi lay on his back on the floor without strength, laughing loudly, with a smile, tears rolled out the corners of his eyes and sank into his temples.
How quiet the night is, only the sound of water flowing with carp swimming nearby.
...
The noon sun is always hot, burning on people's skin, burning and painful.
"Qin Zhu has met the young master." Qin Zhu walked in slowly to salute.
Bai Lanshi put down the brush in his hand, motioned Qin Zhu to sit down, "Why are you here?"
"Qin Zhu knew that the young master was afraid that the slave would be alone in the mansion, so he took the slave here. The slave came to thank the young master." Qin Zhu said.
Bai Lanshi sat down, Qin Zhu made a cup of tea for Bai Lanshi, Bai Lanshi took the tea and said, "You don't suggest that I use General Wei?"
"I believe in Wei Lang's choice." Qin Zhu wrote about the shyness of his daughter's family.
Qin Zhu shyly told Bai Lanshi about Wei Wei, and it could be seen that the happiness on her daughter's face had never been faked.
Apart from training in the barracks, Wei Ting wandered around within ten steps of Qin Zhu at home.
Qin Zhu loves continuous drizzle, so he nailed a sprinkler made of bamboo to the eaves of the verandah of the house, and let it work when the weather was fine, causing shallow moss to climb up the cracks in the stone slabs on the wall, so that the servants Slip and fall often.
When Wei Wei was practicing archery, Qin Zhu would sit on a special soft couch with his guqin in his arms, play the piano or serve him tea to wipe his sweat.
A man shows his love to his loved one with everything he can think of, clumsy but touching.
Bai Lanshi is a gentleman, he disdains using women to weigh men, but he has to do so.
Wei Wei didn't join any political camp, Bai Lanshi didn't want to let such a young and talented person go.
What Qi Huan urgently needed was a capable assistant in the army.
Wei Wei has no bad habits, and has no excuses at all. If he wants to take him for his own use, he can only create weaknesses.
And Qin Zhu is the person Bai Lanshi placed beside Wei Wei to restrain him. Bai Lanshi has always felt a little bit of a misunderstanding in his heart. It is really aggrieved to push a young woman to marry a man who has never been rough.
Chatting for an entire afternoon, Qin Zhu intermittently told about the little things he had with Wei Wei during this period, in order to let Bai Lanshi know that he is very happy now, the young master does not need to feel guilty, and Wei Wei treats her very well.
As gentle as Qin Zhu, Qin Zhu brought a guqin to play for Bai Lanshi, and there was a drizzle outside, so it was so relaxing.
A few days later, Bai Lanshi received a letter from Qi Huan.
The superior and Bai Lanshi complained that the frontier fortress was very windy and sandy, and it was so hot that it would be several degrees dark after returning.
I am also a little uncomfortable with the water and soil, and it is terribly uncomfortable.
Wei Wei kept a straight face all day long, as if he owed him money.
Dongying people are scheming, tentatively pressing the boundaries from time to time, and they are very annoying like flies.
Bai Lanshi read a childish letter with a smile, frowning at Qi Huan's dissatisfaction.
Then he called Lu Yan and asked, "I remember that Teng Ersa wandered around the frontier."
"Yes, young master." Lu Yan replied.
Bai Lanshi put away the letter, "You pass the letter over immediately, asking Ten Ersa to go to Qi Huan's side."
Lu Yan was puzzled, "Master, did something happen to King Rui?"
"Teng Ersa knows medicine, right?" Bai Lanshi felt unreasonably anxious.
"Yes." Lu Yan replied.
"That's good."
"Young master, is King Rui sick?"
"Ok."
"This can't be done. The medicinal materials in the frontier fortress are definitely not as complete as those in the middle of the capital. My son, if you know the specific symptoms of His Highness, I can tell Ten Ersa so that he can prepare." As a doctor, Lu Yan thought about it.
"The water and the soil are not acclimatized."
"what?!!"
Lu Yan sent a letter to Ten Ersa Feige with contempt, but he didn't write the specific cause of King Rui's illness. He was afraid that Ten Ersa would be so angry that he would come to Chang'an if he found out.
Two days later, Tenrsa, who received the letter, left for the place where the army was stationed.
"Your Highness, there is a doctor outside the door who claims to be sent by Master Bai of Chang'an." Qi Huan's personal guard said.
Qi Huan was standing in front of the table analyzing the anti-cloth map, he was taken aback when he heard that, "Your Highness can see?" the guard asked again.
Rolling up the blueprint, Qi Huan smiled, his eyes curved, revealing a small canine tooth, "See you!"
Teng Ersa had a big curly beard, was wearing Hu people's clothes, carried a package on his back and followed the guards. He was shocked when he saw Qi Huan lying on the bed dying, looking like he was about to die.
He remembered that Lu Yan mentioned in the letter that the young master cared about this person very much, so he hurried forward to give him a pulse.
Tenrsa asked, "Has your Highness any symptoms recently?"
Qi Huan blinked, "Did brother invite you here?"
"Your Highness's pulse condition is stable, not like someone with a disease." Teng Erza frowned and thought.
"How is brother recently? This king already knew that brother would read my letter." Qi Huan smiled sweetly.
The conversation with the donkey's head and the horse's mouth made the guards on the side confused. Why did His Highness, who was fine just now, lie on the bed in a blink of an eye.
"His Royal Highness, are you sick?" Teng Ersa finally asked impatiently.
Qi Huan was taken aback, nodded quickly and said, "Yes."
After thinking about it for a while, he said embarrassingly, "Unacclimatized...does it count?"
It is said that Teng Ersa beat her up, and now go to Chang'an to beat Bai Lan... Lv Yan beat him up, is there still time
Under Bai Lanshi's order, Tenrsa had no choice but to stay in the army and take care of Qi Huan's body at all times.
Since Tenrsa came to the barracks, Qi Huan has been going to hang out in the tents from time to time, calling it close to the people in the name of being close to the people, but actually inquiring about Bai Lanshi's past.
There are some things Qi Huan dare not ask Bai Lanshi, but now he is far away in the frontier, and his brother has sent another person close to him, so he must not let go of this good opportunity.
After going there a few times and delivering a few jars of wine, Teng Ersa's mouth was pried open. Tenrsa is a bold person, which fits his appearance very well.
Drinking flushed, he patted Qi Huan on the shoulder and said, "I am older than you, and you are my younger brother. I see that the young master does not treat you as an outsider, and I will not treat you as an outsider either."
After speaking, he picked up the wine jar and took a big sip. Qi Huan clapped his hands flatteringly. Teng Ersa laughed and said, "Speak, I know what you want to ask, and I can say everything."
Qi Huan frowned and asked, "Brother was in good health before, why hasn't he seen such poor health in ten years?"
After a moment of melancholy, Tenrsa took another sip of wine before he could speak, "Young master fell into the water during the cold winter days eight years ago."
"This king knows this, but why did my brother fall into the water?" Qi Huan asked.
"Back then..."
At the age of seventeen, Bai Lanshi went up to the mountain to practice kung fu, and saw a child fell into the lake, so he jumped into the lake to save him without thinking.
It was nine days in the middle of winter, the lake was covered with ice, Bai Lanshi pushed the child onto the ice, but he couldn't get up because the ice was too slippery. When the child ran to Xuanji Pavilion to find someone to look for Bailanshi, Bailanshi had been soaked in cold water for two full hours, and when he was fished out, his lips were purple, he was dying, and he even lost his pulse.
The owner of the pavilion gathered famous doctors from all over the world, and vowed to bring the young master back from the gate of hell. He was rescued, but his meridians were damaged, and he could no longer hold the sword.
That year's Bai Lanshi, to put it bluntly, was just two breaths more than a dead person. He stayed on the bed all day and didn't want to see anyone. The people in the pavilion were afraid that the young master would think about things, so they put away all the weapons in the pavilion. .
Fortunately, the young master didn't complain about himself all the time, when Lu Yan came to the pavilion, under Lu Yan's care, Bai Lanshi slowly walked out of the room, but his temperament changed drastically.
Sometimes you can sit in one place for a whole day, and the sense of presence becomes less and less, and people in the pavilion will never notice him when they pass by the young master.
Only the pavilion master would carry the young master into the room every day, and play chess with him. The young master has recovered a lot. Afterwards, the young master slowly accepted his body, so he locked himself in the bookstore and read behind closed doors.
Qi Huan's heart sank little by little following Tenrsa's words, and his heart ached so much that he wished he could fly back quickly with wings behind him, hug Bai Lanshi, and ask him how he survived these years.
Thinking of Bai Lanshi once talking about himself with a broken body, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his heart hurts.
"Brother... Who is the child you saved?" Qi Huan asked cautiously.
"I think His Highness should have met him, and that person is Rong Le." Tenrsa said after taking a bite of the dish.
The two chatted for a long time, Qi Huan was already full of moon when he got out of the tent, a little smoke rose from the desolate desert, and the soldiers gathered around the fire to talk about the affairs of their hometown.
"Your Highness, the generals are waiting for you to go back to discuss the affairs of the Dongying people." The guards looked for Qi Huan for a long time.
Qi Huan patted the guard on the shoulder, and shouted to the chatting soldiers below, "I will take you home soon, to the most beautiful hometown and the most important person!!!"
All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted with great momentum.
Bai Lanshi received Qi Huan's letter, which only wrote some irrelevant words, Bai Lanshi still put the letter away as before.
Seeing that the box was almost full, Qi Huan had been gone for half a year, and the braziers had been placed around the bedroom, making the room very warm.
When Qi Jing came, he saw Bai Lanshi falling asleep leaning on the support, his thick eyelashes cast a shadow on Bai Ci's face, he was dozing off in his furry coat, snowflakes were floating outside, but inside It is so peaceful and beautiful.
Qi Jing watched for a long time, until Bai Lanshi showed signs of waking up, and then moved his eyes away.
Bai Lanshi vaguely felt that there was someone sitting in front of him, and said without thinking, "Drink water."
After Bai Lanshi finished drinking the water, he opened his eyes. Seeing Qi Jing holding a water glass and looking at him, he woke up suddenly.
"Your Highness, when did you come?" Bai Lanshi sat upright and said.
"Not long ago." Qi Jing raised the water glass in his hand, "Do you still drink, sir?"
Bai Lanshi smiled awkwardly, "I thought it was Lu Yan who was doing this in front of me, and that's why it was like this."
"No problem." Qi Jing.
"Why is your Highness looking for Bai?"
"This king was just passing by, so he came in to see Mr. Qi Jing." Qi Jing put down his water glass.
Seeing the snow falling outside, Bai Lanshi smiled slightly, "This year's snow is earlier than last year's."
Qi Jing followed Bai Lanshi's gaze and looked into the yard. The yard was already covered with a layer of white snow, and the children's laughter was always inevitable on snowy days.
The shouts of Rong Le playing in the snow in the front yard and the sound of Qin Zhu's guqin came faintly.
"Sir, do you know that someone in the court is greedy for military pay?" Qi Jing said, Bai Lanshi was taken aback when he heard the words, "Does Your Majesty know about this?"
"I don't know yet, didn't Qi Huan tell Mr.?"
"Never." Bai Lanshi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
After sending Qi Jing away, Bai Lanshi called Lu Yan and drove to Dali Temple.
It was snowing outside, Bai Lanshi subconsciously tightened his cloak, the auspicious snow heralds a good year, but it was really cold to Bai Lanshi, and after a while, his lips were a little bruised when he got out of the brazier.
Dali Temple Minister Ye Yuanfeng came to greet him in person. Although Ye Yuanfeng was over fifty years old, he was in good spirits. Beside him stood a beautiful boy who looked like a doll, staring at the visitor coldly and saying nothing.
Ye Yuanfeng smiled and said, "This is a dog, Ye Xiao." The young man looked at Bai Lanshi coldly.
Bai Lanshi was seated and straight to the point, "Your Excellency must have heard about the embezzlement of military pay by someone in the court."
"Your Majesty didn't make a decree, so it's nonsense." Ye Yuanfeng immediately understood what Bai Lanshi was doing, and he was an old fox in the officialdom. Before Bai Lanshi could speak again, he said coldly, "Dali Temple belongs to His Majesty." Dali Temple."
The attitude on the surface is very clear, Ye Yuanfeng, as the Minister of Dali Temple, will not let Dali Temple participate in the party struggle, nor will he help.
The intention of seeing off the guests was undisguised, Bai Lanshi secretly sighed, not knowing how to evaluate Ye Yuanfeng for a while. Since the master is a high-spirited person, Bai Lanshi couldn't continue talking, so he got up and said goodbye. After getting into the carriage, Bai Lanshi kneaded the center of his brows, hugged Mrs. Tang, thinking about countermeasures.
Suddenly a small stone slammed into the carriage, and with a bang, the cold-looking young man beside Ye Yuanfeng appeared in Bai Lanshi's mind. When he opened the side window, he saw Ye Xiao standing in the alley wearing a black cloak.
Bai Lanshi got off the car, Lu Yan wanted to go together, but was stopped by Bai Lanshi, and the only son walked towards the alley alone.
Dali Temple is not on the main street, and it is snowing today, most people stay behind closed doors, except for Ye Xiao's footprints on the snow in the alley, it is Bailanshi's.
Seeing the young man in front of him, who was only fifteen years old, wearing a fleece cloak but only unlined clothing underneath, looked at Bai Lanshi with a cold expression, raised his chin slightly, like a proud kitten.
"If I remember correctly, you are Ye Xiao?" Bai Lanshi looked at the boy with a smile.
Ye Xiao's voice was still childish, but what he said had nothing to do with his voice, he was cold and arrogant, "Mr. has a good relationship with King Rui and King Kang, but based on my observations this year, Mr. intends to help King Rui."
Bai Lanshi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the young boy in front of him with great interest. Seeing that Bai Lanshi was silent, Ye Xiao leaned against the wall with folded arms, "Mr. Your Majesty realized that he had drawn another alliance for King Rui before, and if I guessed correctly, Wei Wei is already a member of King Rui."
Bai Lanshi couldn't help clapping his hands, "So what is the meaning of what Young Master Ye and Bai said?"
The young man frowned for a moment, "I can help you find the person who embezzled the military salary before His Majesty finds out." Ye Xiao paused and said, "But I have one condition."
"Master Ye, please tell me." Bai Lanshi had a slight fondness for this unruly young man in his heart, but he was only surprised when he heard what he said next.
"With Mr.'s astonishing talent and the help of the Xuanji Pavilion behind him, King Rui will be the future heir without any accident. What I want is for Mr. to promise me that after King Rui ascends to the throne, I will be entrusted with the position of Minister of Dali Temple. "When the young man said this, he seemed to be as plain as what he was eating today, and he looked straight at Bai Lanshi, with no concealment of desire in his eyes.
Bai Lanshi didn't intend to understand why the young man was like this, but just mentioned, "Whether you can become Dali Siqing depends on Mr. Ye's ability. Since Mr. Ye is interested, Bai will wait for the good news."
