Li Yue carried a lone lantern and walked into the small turret of Li Mansion through the shade of lush branches.
"Crunch, crunch -"
The small turret was still creaking and swaying as she stepped on the old stairs. She only focused on looking at the road under her feet, which seemed to have blended into the stagnant night, and she didn't even notice that the thorns had pulled off the hem of her clothes.
"Gulu——"
After going upstairs, the wine bottle rolled down at her feet. Li Yue stopped and bent down to pick it up without being surprised.
Han Fei, who smelled of alcohol, was sitting with his back against the wall. The purple cloth that was hard to find in Xianyang Cloth Village was hung loosely on his shoulders. He put one hand on his bent knee, revealing his slender neck and eyes.
He looked down at her and said, "You're here."
Li Yue blew out the lone lamp, touched the round lamp handle, and put it aside appropriately.
She got straight to the point: "I took the ice jade you gave me and asked to see Little Master Tao, but I didn't see him."
Han Fei nodded: "Thank you."
"I didn't see it, why do you want to thank me?"
He dropped his hand on his knee and tapped his fingertips on the ground. After a long time, he raised his hand to straighten the wrinkled skirt of his clothes and chuckled: "She is not the person I want to see. If I haven't seen her, I have."
Li Yue didn't understand: "Why?"
"because--"
With a "swish", he suddenly pulled away the dagger from his waist, and the torn silk ribbon was thrown in a sharp arc in mid-air, with a cold light flashing.
Before Li Yue could react with her eyes wide open, she heard the sound of flesh and blood on her back. Warm blood spattered on the back of her neck. She felt trembling all over her body. She couldn't help but collapse, "You -
—”
"Niece, don't you know that you are being followed?"
He quietly came over to support her. Li Yue could even feel the tight muscles on his arms and the scent of Korean aristocrats on his body. Han Fei raised his sharp chin towards her, "Be careful."
some."
Li Yue suppressed her composure, her chest rising and falling several times. In this dark corner building, she did not dare to look back at the dead body on the ground, "Am I being followed?"
"Maybe." Han Fei stretched his wrist and pulled out the dagger from the dead maid. He asked in a dull tone, "You must be afraid of dead people."
"."
She remained silent.
"Or maybe I didn't expect that Han would kill a civilian." He raised an eyebrow and asked.
Li Yue remained silent, only clenching his sleeves.
"You blame Han for killing? Oh, even if Han doesn't kill, your father." There was a faint pause between Han Fei's lips and teeth, "Your father will kill her."
"It seems that you are no different." Li Yue said.
"Yes." He wiped the warm blood on the dagger carefully and looked sideways at her. There was no movement on her face. Even when measured with a ruler, there was no emotion at all.
Looking back, Han Fei said again: "In your heart, does the girl think that Han is different from others?"
"I thought you were a gentleman with unforgettable virtues, it seems."
"Gentlemen emerge from troubled times. Maybe Miss Yue thinks everything is too simple." His voice was lowered, just like the cold moon outside, very sad and desolate.
All Li Yue's words seemed to be blocked by his tongue, his cheeks were tense, and his eyes were dark as he looked at the dark night outside the window. "You have been exposed. You can't stay in this turret. Where will you go from now on?"
"Then stand up. Han has no intention of hiding for the rest of his life." Han Fei walked over and opened the window. The cool moonlight blew his purple robe, and the long shadow on the ground cast an extremely dark color, even for him.
The outline of the body also began to shake.
"Dong dong dong——" "Dong dong dong——"
There seemed to be countless footsteps running towards here under the turret. Li Yue panicked and hurriedly approached the window. He saw a dense crowd of men in black below raising their spears and quickly divided into three groups to block the escape route here.
"Hurry, hurry, we can't let the Korean thief escape."
"No wonder we searched for so long and couldn't even find the butt shadow. It turned out to be hiding here. Bah, old thief Han!"
She subconsciously closed the window and fled down. Han Fei's big, sharp-jointed hands held down all her movements. Looking at his plain white and calm eyebrows, Li Yue somehow calmed down, "Aren't we going to run away?"
"
"Enough of escaping." He looked at the moonlight, as if he were looking at everything under the sky, "My motherland has abandoned me like worn shoes, like a rat in the toilet, like a frightened family dog. If my ambition cannot be fulfilled, I will not be rewarded."
"But Han Fei, helpless and as sincere as the bright moon."
He stood back and forth, with the bright moonlight shining on him. He turned around, and his back was not the narrow turret, but the vast sky. He stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Li Yue's thin waist. Li Yue hadn't come yet.
He exclaimed and had no time to care about this exaggerated, crazy and blurry night. The scream in his throat was suppressed and could not be spit out.
She saw the man below her looking at her intently, and once again she was thrown into the sky of the turret. The man's pupils were very deep and black, as if there was something with claws and teeth inside that wanted to pounce out.
"Han Fei, you are crazy!"
The hunting wind lifted the hair around Li Yue's ears. She looked panicked and confused, but Han Fei had a specious smile and said, "Fei, this is always the case."
*
"Ran?!"
Li Si was furious, and his yellow face turned livid with anger.
Under the dim oil lamp, rows of private guards in black knelt in front of him with their heads hanging down. He was walking on thin ice and was struggling. Logically, he shouldn't have made such a big move, but Han Fei, Han Fei, the resourceful Han Fei, could do it in Jixia.
Han Fei, a deceptive and calculating man, would have been appreciated by the King of Qin who longed for talents.
Li Si's eyes were like a talisman tempered with poison.
How could there be a place for Cai Xiaoli, who came from a humble background and had no foundation in dealing with other countries?
In Jixia, he was not as good as him, his position was low, and he was inappropriate, so he was hampered by his reputation. But now that he is the Great Qin Tingwei and a confidant of the Qin State, is it possible that he has to wait for this day to come?
Li Si's eyelids suddenly twitched wildly, and veins popped out on the back of his hands and forehead: "Move over the death guards from the Great Wizard and pursue Han Fei with all your strength!"
Someone below hesitated and said, "But Wei Ting, the eldest girl is still in Han Fei's hands."
"Yeah, what should we do?"
Li Si gritted his teeth fiercely, but the remaining family affection suppressed his reason, "Capture...all alive."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
*
After months of sleepless escaping, Han Fei and Li Yue could only temporarily rest in a dark alley due to the interrogation at the city gate. Han Fei was thin and angular, with a half-inch scar on his cold face, hiding.
In the bustling crowd, there were uneven tables and stools and a bowl with a broken mouth.
He was swallowing the pimple soup from the bowl.
Li Yue's face turned pale. Seeing the Korean prince being so condescending, he said, "I was used to hardship, why are you..."
"Then why did my niece accompany Han to escape? Why didn't she report Han?" he asked her.
"I"
Putting down the bowl, Han Fei said calmly: "Niece, if you are not full of chaff, you will not be interested in rice and meat; if you are short and brown, you will not need to be embroidered."
Li Yue didn't expect him to be so evasive, so she turned her head and said, "You'd better stop calling me niece."
Although he and her father studied together in Jixia and were senior fellow students, he was not much older than her. It felt extremely awkward to be called like that.
Han Fei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask why and just said: "Okay."
Several beggars in ragged clothes and bare feet ran by next to them. A pungent smell of sweat arose in the hot weather. Li Yue felt nothing at all, and even felt at ease. She quickly poured out the oil-free bowl.
I swallowed a fishy taste in my lower abdomen, and sweat poured out all over my lower abdomen.
Why did she risk her life to accompany this Qin State wanted criminal? I'm afraid only she - Li Yue knows the answer.
After a short period of food and clothing, Han Fei lifted the dagger on the table with one hand and held it in his hand. Li Yue followed him with difficulty. She looked at the sweat stains on his shoulder blades, as if it was raining in the evening.
Such a tall and straight figure also looks particularly eye-catching in the flow of people passing by.
Li Yue thought to herself.
Being able to lead her to escape the pursuit of her father's personal guards was not only extraordinary in skill, but also probably unparalleled in resourcefulness.
If he and his father compete on the same stage, if his father loses
Unknowingly, he walked to the bottom of the wall. Han Fei looked sideways at him. His clear outline seemed to have immediately stuffed a handful of snow into Li Yue's chest. He stepped over and hugged her with his muscular arms.
The omen is another whirlwind.
"arrive."
Before she could react, Li Yue only felt her fingertips aching. She was in his arms, still pinching his arms tightly. Before his pupils had time to expand, he heard the sound of a long sword piercing the air from his back.
.
"brush--"
This is a spacious training ground with sparse vegetation and sand and gravel blown up by the wind. There is a man in coarse cloth who is wielding a single sword. The sword is walking among the dragons and is already on Han Feidao's neck.
, a seemingly inadvertent sword strike caused a sudden sound in the air, but it was difficult for thousands of troops to resist it.
This man who is dressed in commoner clothes but can hardly hide his appearance is none other than the Tiger General of the Qin Dynasty - Meng Yi.
Meng Yi raised his long eyebrows and looked at Han Fei with sharp eyes: "Goodbye, Jixia. I hope you are well."
Han Fei said calmly, "Brother Meng."
They were both students studying in Jixia. After years of separation, one tiger general and the other escaped prison.
With such a gap in status, Han Fei was not embarrassed. Instead, he said with a relaxed indifference: "Cangshan Yuelan, you have been harvesting it for two whole months."
Li Yue lowered his eyes and saw that Meng Yi's sword tip picked out a dried flower string, which was woven with rattan grass. It was almost the same as the Cangshan Moon Orchid that Han Fei handed to his father.
Meng Yi's expression did not change, his eyes swept over her, and the tip of the sword shifted a little: "Li Tingwei wants to hunt you down, and you run away with his eldest daughter. You are a dignified Korean son, a man of clean and clear character, with a prosperous reputation in the six countries."
, I don’t know when you would be so private."
Han Fei chuckled at the young general's uprightness, put down the man in his arms and asked Li Yue: "Li Tingwei has always been on good terms with the Meng family. Could you please tell me, is she the girl that Han has kidnapped?"
Li Yue squeezed her fingers tightly.
It was she who had to follow her.
She looked at her fiancé, who was frowning, and then at Han Fei, who was feeling relaxed, and said, "I had to follow him. I don't blame Mr. Han."
Han Fei lazily sat on the ground and said, "I've made it clear that I've traveled thousands of miles to ask for a drink of water from my senior brother. It's okay, right?"
Meng Yi's resolute face was normal. He turned around and picked up a clay pot to fetch water for them. After Han Fei and Li Yue drank, Meng Yi said to Li Yue straight to the point: "This matter involves a lot of trouble. I'd like to ask Li
Girl, go to the cool room and wait."
Li Yue nodded, looked at them deeply, turned and left.
Holding his sword, Han Fei walked to the shade of an ancient tree and sat down with his back against the tree. The cool breeze blew through his beard, which had not been taken care of for months, making him look a bit shabby.
"Your Han Feizi is a good one. King Qin cherishes his talent, so he will definitely want to see you."
"Han Mouzhi."
"When you enter the Qin Dynasty, you must not express your intention to protect the Han Dynasty, otherwise I will not be able to protect you."
Han Fei raised his head with strength, opened his mouth and slowed down his voice: "Junior brother, what does Great Qin do to you?"
"As fate would have it." Before Meng Yi could answer, he thought to himself, "Han is here, Han is not here."
"According to the nature of the King of Qin, he will not let you get what you want. Even if you are resourceful, I fear that the building will collapse and the sheep will be lost in the wrong road, which will be irreversible."
The leaves rustled suddenly.
Han Fei raised his head to look at him again, and there was something in his eyes that was like the blade of a sword filled with flesh and blood, bringing out his soul that had been severely wounded but not lost. "If you enter Qin and Cunhan, you will have to die nine times without regrets."
Meng Yi's expression changed slightly.
For just a moment, he lowered his eyes slightly and said with a normal expression, "Brother Meng, remember Jixia, the teacher took this piece of Cangshan Moon Orchid and went out to practice for us."
"yes."
Meng Yi's arms hanging by his sides were slightly tense.
There seemed to be thousands of thoughts floating around, like the endless grass growing after the wind, but no one spoke.
Han Fei took out a paint-red xun from his chest and played it close to his mouth, "The heavens move in a regular way. They will not survive for Yao, nor will they perish for Jie. The stars rotate with them, the sun and the moon shine, the four eras are governed, and the yin and yang are transformed."
, Wind and rain bring good harvests. The crops are damaged by dry plowing, the plows are dirty, and the government is in danger and the people are lost. The fields are dirty and the crops are bad, the nobles are hungry, and people are dead on the roads. I call it a monster."
The strong wind blew the leaves, and Meng Yi's shoulders gradually became covered with dead leaves.
And the melodious and sobbing tone floated through the earthen wall, recalling the time of learning Wu Xuanyuan, Lanling wine, Cangshan orchid, drinking parties, and talking about poetry.
Meng Yi was silent for a long time, pinched the flower string in his hand, and sighed: "I will introduce Brother Han to the King of Qin, but the rest has nothing to do with my Meng family."
Seeing this old classmate, he is still so strong-willed and soft-hearted.
"The time has not come yet, Han just came to say goodbye." Han Fei curled his lips slightly, wiped the xun slowly, and said, "After all, Miss Li is too young, too immature, and too ambitious.
, you send her back to Li Mansion first, and Han is waiting to drink your wedding wine."
Meng Yi asked: "What about you?"
"The sky is high and the clouds are wide, we will see you again in the future."
After the two talked, they gradually drifted away.
Unexpectedly, their conversation was overheard by a fox and a beaver in the tree.
Baitao originally wanted to see what the young master Fei who had deceived Zheng Guo looked like, but when he saw what happened, he curled his lips and said: "You really have grown a skin, you can pretend to be tight, just use that Miss Li, that's all.
He also deceived General Meng into risking his life to recommend him. If he gets involved in anything purely Korean, he will be entangled in rumors and evil schemes, but General Meng is willing to give up the reputation of his family."
Zheng Guo was lying next to him, with small strings of steaming beads on his fair face.
He was really overheated, but he still held his breath and said, "Mr. Han, he, he, he is still very kind."
"Goodness?"
The white peach fox flicked its tail and exploded a red-tailed flower in mid-air. Then it turned over and jumped to the opposite branch. "Give me a flower. The second son of the Meng family is standing right there. He doesn't even care about the reputation of the Meng family."
, I think if you say a few nice words to coax him, Meng Yi will be so confused that he can't find his way around, can't you see it? How do you see how kind-hearted he is?"
Zheng Guo had a few drops of sweat on his forehead and said, "Well, he always protected me before."
"The past is the past, and the future is the future. We fairies value friendship, but humans don't." Baitao lowered the tip of his tail and said coldly: "Don't even think about it, he gave you a gift when you were sent to prison.
Poison, if I hadn’t informed the jailer after I woke up to send you several pots of tree leaves, medicine and bedding, as well as a bottle of poison, and said a few words of incitement, would you think I was kind?
"
"meeting."
Baitao: "??"
"It was me who caused your aunt to be seriously injured." He puffed up his cheeks, looking like a victim, "My aunt wanted to drug me to death, so that's right."
Baitao: "."
You really deserve to be hanged to death for debt.
After sharpening her claws, Baitao really felt that she owed him. Not only did she want to redeem him from prison and restore him to an upright identity, but she also had to deal with the mess that followed. The key was that this stupid beaver was deceived.
I also want to help count the gold.
She took a deep breath of evil spirit: "If Han Fei wants to save Han Fei, he has no choice but to die. Relying on him alone to save Han Fei is no less than a mayfly shaking a tree, and it is difficult to reach the sky. When this day comes, will you protect Han Fei or...
Protect your canals."
After saying that, Baitao stood on the branch of the tree and looked at him silently.
Zheng Guo, the beaver, didn't know whether it was too hot or too entangled. His cheeks turned crimson, his eyelashes blinked twice, tears lingered in his eyes, and he whispered: "Can I choose Young Master Han first?"
"!" Baitao gritted his teeth, wishing he could boil a pot of water and drink the soup.
I heard the doormat covering his forehead and saying, "It costs money to repair the canals, and now there is a severe drought. There was no harvest in the fields last year. The Great Qin treasury will soon be unable to be opened, and the canals cannot be repaired, so I can only protect the young master first."
You can’t protect everything.”
Baitao was stunned.
I have never heard of this matter.
"You mean, there's no money left to repair the canals?"
"Yes, your Majesty is also very worried about this." He put down his paw and said, "It costs money to protect the canal, but you have to protect the young master for free. When the time comes, I will knock him out and throw him into a deep mountain and old forest, far away from the world, and he will naturally not
His mind will be filled with thoughts of coming to Qin to die. I can still see him when he is old, which is a good result."
"."
What follows what.
She flicked her tail and looked at him with foxy eyes, "It's quite simple to think about it. It's so childish to live such a long life and only grow hair but not a body."
Zheng Guo, who was abandoned on the tree cover, clung to his big tail in grievance and said, "Hey, hey, hey."
It just lived for several hundred years, so how old is it?
