Plum blossoms hit three times and hit four times

Chapter 21

At dusk, Xie Chenjian sent Zhao Buxiu back home.

Walking to the gate of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Buxiu stopped, Xie Chenjian stood behind him, Zhao Buxiu turned around and hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's better not to go through the main entrance, but to enter through the small door at the back. "

Xie Chenjian was puzzled, Zhao Buxi stepped forward and grabbed his hand, walked to the other side, and said as he walked: "My brother won't let me go out, but he is entering the palace today, and he is probably still in the palace at this time .”

He rambled a few words, the swordsman stared at Zhao Buxiu's side, and walked to the small door behind the Hou's mansion, and the two stopped.Zhao Buxi let go of the swordsman's hand, and Xie Chenjian's fingers curled up slightly. He couldn't help but followed and took a step forward. Zhao Buxi looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Xie Chenjian shook his head, and he backed away.Zhao Buxi showed a smile on his face, and waved his hand at Xie Chenjian. The swordsman stood still, and the slack expression on his face suddenly became tense. He raised his head and put his hand on the scabbard.

The moment Zhao Buxi opened the door, a fierce sword wind slashed at Xie Chenjian. The swordsman didn't move. The short sword cut off a strand of his hair and embedded it deeply in the tree trunk behind him.

"Brother!" Zhao Buxiu yelled, Zhao Zhifeng stroked his shoulders, and embraced him. He and Zhao Buxiu stood inside the door, looking down at Xie Chenjian from a high position. Now that the swordsman has completed his mission, he should not meet his employer again."

Xie Chenjian raised his head, didn't even look at Zhao Zhifeng, he stared at Zhao Buxiu, and heard Zhao Buxiu's voice full of anxiety, are you all right?

Xie Chenjian told him, I'm fine.

Zhao Zhifeng frowned, he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt the slight contempt emanating from this swordsman.

"Brother, Xie Chenjian and I are friends now." Zhao Buxiu struggled to pull Zhao Zhifeng's hand away. He ran to Xie Chenjian's side and pulled the swordsman's sleeve, as if checking for injuries.

Zhao Zhifeng was astonished, this was the first time, Zhao Buxuan pushed him away and ran to others.He was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what to do. He looked blankly at Zhao Buxi around the swordsman.

"Xiao Pan, come here." Zhao Zhifeng's eyebrows were pierced, his tone became serious, Zhao Buxiu's back stiffened when he heard this, and he turned to look at his brother.Zhao Zhifeng's complexion was not good, Zhao Buxiu glanced at Xie Chenjian again, the swordsman's expression was light and he couldn't see any joy, but for some reason Zhao Buxiu could feel the depression spreading from Xie Chenjian's body.

His heart was aching and sore, and just before he moved, Zhao Zhifeng walked towards him, grabbed Zhao Buxiu's hand, and asked, "Since we are friends, then I won't interfere, but I have I need to know where you have been for half a day? What have you done? Only then can I feel at ease."

What Zhao Zhifeng said to Zhao Buxiu was also to Xie Chenjian, but he didn't expect that Zhao Buxiu hadn't spoken yet, the swordsman said coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Buxiu's heart tightened, and he asked in his heart, don't say that, my brother has a bad temper.

Xie Chenjian heard this and asked, are you worried about me?

Zhao Buxiu said to him, I will naturally worry about you.

In just a few seconds, the two whispered in their hearts.

After just a few seconds, Zhao Zhifeng moved.

After Pingnan came back, he felt that there seemed to be a gap between him and Zhao Buxiu. He felt that Zhao Buxiu had something to hide, and it might have something to do with this swordsman.Emotions that he never had in the past rose in his heart, suspicion and self-danger.

Zhao Zhifeng took down the short sword embedded in the tree trunk, the swordsman stared at him, his hand on his long sword seemed ready to strike.Zhao Zhifeng narrowed his eyes, at this moment of course he wanted to slash the swordsman with his sword, but he was very polite, since the sky was in front of the back door of the Hou Mansion, he couldn't kill anyone.

Zhao Zhifeng took a step back, held his breath, and said to Zhao Buxiu, "Come back with me."

Zhao Buxi was slightly stunned, and said to the swordsman in his heart, I'm leaving first, you should be careful.

The swordsman remained silent, his eyes followed Zhao Buxi, looking at the cautious look on his brows, the swordsman frowned, took his hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't go back."

Zhao Zhifeng took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again.Zhao Buxi had never seen his brother like this before, he shuddered, lowered his head and opened Xie Chenjian's hand.The swordsman's fingers were slender, and the hand holding the sword became a hand that hesitated to speak but begged for help, but unfortunately it was still useless. He lowered his head in frustration, his knuckles tensed into a dumb white.

Zhao Buxi went back with his brother, the door was closed forcefully, Xie Chenjian couldn't see Zhao Buxi anymore, he pursed his lips, stood for a while, and then walked back slowly.He knew that he was too greedy. When he heard Zhao Buxiu's voice, he wanted to see his people, and when he saw his smile, he wanted to get close to him.Xie Chenjian walked into the setting sun, and the shadow fell on the ground, forming a long and lonely solitude.

Zhao Buxiu followed Zhao Zhifeng, all the way silent, walked into the backyard room, Zhao Zhifeng finally stopped after closing the door.Zhao Buxiu also followed closely, he stood in front of the door, Zhao Zhifeng approached him, Zhao Buxiu felt guilty, stepped back step by step, his spine pressed against the door panel, and let out a "clang".

Zhao Zhifeng stood in front of him, pinched his chin and lifted it up, he asked in a low voice: "Xiao Pan, is there something you are hiding from me?"

Zhao Buxi's body was very cold, Zhao Zhifeng's fingers seemed to be covered on a section of ice, but he was restless and didn't pay attention.

Zhao Buxiu pulled Zhao Zhifeng's hand away, he took a breath, "I...I didn't hide it from you."

Zhao Zhifeng looked down at him, Zhao Buxiu met this gaze, he was afraid in his heart, and he couldn't lie, so he lowered his eyes and didn't want to meet Zhao Zhifeng's gaze.

"Xiao Pan, you know that no matter what it is, my brother will not blame you." Zhao Zhifeng softened his tone, let go of his hands, and instead held Zhao Buxiu's face, rubbing his palms together.

Zhao Buxi raised his head and whispered, "It's really fine."

Zhao Zhifeng paused, seeing his younger brother's avoiding eyes, he frowned, and wanted to say more, but Zhao Buxiu pushed him away, opened the door and ran out.Zhao Zhifeng stood at the door and didn't chase after him.He felt a little funny in his heart, and then remembered what he had said to the emperor before.

The emperor asked him to marry the daughter of King Yong, but he repeatedly resisted, and finally heaved a long sigh and could only kneel on the ground to apologize.He told his majesty about his thoughts, he said that he already had someone he admired, but now that the world is not peaceful, he has no intention of getting married.

Hearing what he said, the emperor could only put aside the matter of getting married for the time being.

beloved...

Zhao Zhifeng chewed these four words repeatedly in his heart, and thought of Zhao Buxiu's intimate behavior and fleeing eyes with the swordsman, his heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword.

……

The prince lazily lay his pillow on the pillow, he was wearing a crescent white dress, and his clothes were hanging down.He drank a lot of wine today, and his whole body seemed to be taken out of rum, curled up drunk.The people under his command came to see him, saw him frowning like this, and called out Prince, Zhou Xiang slowly opened his eyes with drooping eyelashes, "What's the matter?"

"General Zhao just came out from His Majesty, and the maid who served said that His Majesty married King Yong."

Zhou Xiang's eyelashes moved slightly, and his eyelids slowly opened. He got up from the collapse, and his hand touched the wine pot, and the celadon fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.He seemed to have gained some energy, tilted his head and said, "Then what did Zhao Zhifeng say? Can he agree?"

"General Zhao seems to say that he already has someone he admires, and that the world is not peaceful now, so he rejected His Majesty."

Zhou Xiang snorted softly, and he lay down again at once, looking at the red gauze bed curtain, he didn't know what to think of, and he murmured: "The one you admire..."

Zhao Buxi knew that his brother was angry, so he didn't go out these few days, and his body remained stable, so he wasn't worried.Whispering with the swordsman in the room every day, Xie Chenjian asked him, are you going to stay out all the time?

Although he couldn't see anyone, Zhao Buxi still shook his head involuntarily. He shook his head towards the air, then shrunk his neck dryly after shaking, sat on the chair, flipped through the poem book solemnly, and looked away. He told Xie Chenjian that it was naturally impossible, but the last time he drank a lot of blood, it probably lasted longer.

Xie Chenjian was silent for two seconds, he said in a low voice, the peach blossoms are blooming.

Zhao Buxi was taken aback for a moment, and then heard the swordsman whispering, don't you want to go and have a look?The peach blossoms outside the imperial city are in full bloom.

Zhao Buxiu closed the book in his hand, raised his head and looked out the window.The winter is fading away, and the spring is revived. The light is good, the spring is lingering, and the greenery has a little color. It is the only pity that this world gives to them.

Zhao Buxiu pushed open the door and walked out. The cold wind was blowing on his face. He smelled the fragrance of green grass and flowers in the air, and heard the voices of a few birds and...the discussions among servants.

His hearing became particularly good, and his face turned pale when he listened carefully.

Your Majesty bestows a marriage...the daughter of King Yong...should be filial for three years...and get married after three years.

Zhao Buxi's eyes were red, and he couldn't believe it in his heart. He knew that he shouldn't question Zhao Zhifeng, but that anger, restless, urgent, jealous, couldn't be controlled.He walked towards the whispering servants, his face was gloomy, and the servants were frightened when they saw him, lowered their heads, Zhao Buxi asked: "What are you talking about?"

No one dared to answer, Zhao Buxi had never been like this before, he was always smiling and kind.Seeing that no one answered, the anger in his heart increased instead, and he took another step forward. His reason seemed to be violently pushed away by a pair of rotten claws. He couldn't control his body, and he stretched out his hand to tear it off.Hearing the screams of others, at this moment, his hand was suddenly grabbed, he turned his head, his eyes were red, and he stared straight at Xie Chenjian.

The swordsman gasped, he hugged Zhao Buxiu, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Buxi let out a sob that seemed to be crying. He grabbed his arm and trembled all over, "I can't control myself."

The servants were all frightened, Xie Chenjian frowned, and was about to silence him with the sword, but Zhao Buxi grabbed him, he gasped, "Don't kill anyone."

Xie Chenjian took a deep breath, and said, "They know."

Those servants seemed to have just reacted, and immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, please forgive me."

Zhao Buxi endured a lot of pain. The peace during this period made him think that he was no different from others, but now it seems that he is not at all.If he is not human, he is not human. He will live in the haze all his life, and he will never see the light of day.

He felt uncomfortable, but why not a swordsman.Unable to silence, he knocked out those few people, then hugged Zhao Buxi's waist and jumped onto the roof lightly. He said to Zhao Buxi: "Zhao Buxi, don't be afraid."

"I was discovered." Zhao Buxiu curled up in his arms, his voice was very low, "My brother will know too."

Xie Chenjian said nothing, but hugged Zhao Buxi tightly.

March spring breeze, peach blossoms like rain.

Outside the perilous imperial city is actually a peach blossom forest, the petals are overflowing with the spring breeze.Xie Chenjian stopped with his feet on the ground, and carefully placed Zhao Buxiu under a peach tree.Zhao Buxiu bowed his head and said nothing, Xie Chenjian squatted down, he held Zhao Buxiu's face in his hands, and lightly brushed Zhao Buxiu's flushed eye sockets with his fingertips.

"Cried?"

Zhao Buxiu nodded, "Yes."

"do not Cry."

Zhao Buxiu pursed his lips and said, "I can't help it."

As he spoke, he blinked lightly, and a drop of tears for Zhao Zhifeng fell on the back of the swordsman's hand.People are cold, blood is cold, but tears are hot.

The swordsman felt that the back of his hand was scalded, and he whispered: "It's okay, no one will find out."

As soon as the words fell, a cold arrow passed through the swordsman's body.Zhao Buxi was taken aback, he didn't react at all, his eyes widened, and a tearing whimper came from his throat, he called Xie Chenjian's name.The swordsman lowered his head and stared blankly at the arrow in his chest, Zhao Buxiu stepped forward and hugged him, "Xie Chenjian, how are you, Xie Chenjian..."

The shouting stopped suddenly, and he stared blankly at the arrow. The feather was engraved with the word "Feng", Zhao Zhifeng's Feng.

Zhao Buxi's eyes were red, and he looked at Xie Chenjian again, and saw Xie Chenjian covering his heart with his hands. He pinched the end of the arrow, pursed his lips, and pulled out the arrow that had pierced his body inch by inch.

He took a deep breath, and black blood flowed from his heart, falling on the petals, the green grass withered, a peach tree withered instantly, and countless petals fell.The swordsman raised his head and threw the arrow that pierced his chest towards the dense forest, and heard a scream in the next second.

After doing all this, Xie Chenjian was exhausted and fell into Zhao Buxiu's arms.
