The capital, the residence of King Qin, Gong Yu Palace.
The palace was built on Mount Song, and the entire palace stood gracefully on the mountain peak.
The huge Gong Yu Palace is solemn yet light-hearted. The jade towers rising from the ground below are dazzling. The gorgeous and exquisite carved beams and painted buildings are scattered far and wide. The towering trees make the green trees everywhere feel like spring.
Beautiful, prosperous, and full of uncanny craftsmanship.
The mountains are full of verdant green, dotted with pavilions and pavilions.
The bright moon above Gongyu Palace casts a gentle glow, and the corners of the eaves are curved in the night, giving the palace a majestic momentum.
Walking inside, you will see the winding corridors, which are extremely majestic and stunning. The carved buildings and jade pavilions can be said to be one floor for five steps and one pavilion for ten steps. The glazed and green tiles emit dazzling light. It is extremely luxurious!
Apart from the imperial palace, this is the most noble, exquisite and luxurious palace in the entire capital.
This is a mansion that the emperor ordered to be carefully built a few years ago and then given to King Qin.
If King Qin hadn't stopped him quickly, the emperor would have really wanted to build Gong Yu Palace into a vast and magnificent palace.
This shows how much the emperor values his younger brother.
Pear trees can be seen everywhere in the pavilions of the palace.
It is said that it was the pear tree that Queen Qin’s mother and concubine loved the most during her lifetime, so the King of Qin planted this place full of pear trees.
Although the pear blossoms have passed the blooming season and should have withered and withered, due to good maintenance, the blossoming pear blossoms are like natural jade, with elegant fragrance and far-reaching charm. If you look down, they look like the beautiful flowers in Jade Village.
Pile snow.
The beautiful scenery is unique to Gong Yu Palace. Once you have seen it, you will never want to leave it.
Xue Kong slept comfortably in the luxurious palace before going out to look for Jun Ziqian.
There are no maids or maids in the entire Gong Yu Palace. Except for the palace guards, secret guards, Mo Zhu and others, they are all men. There is only one woman, Wu Mei.
Wu Mei, on the other hand, rarely appeared in Gong Yu Palace due to various tasks she had to perform.
So Xue Kong was speechless as he looked at the guards who all looked the same, very boring.
The correct thing to say is that Jun Ziqian is very boring.
There was not a single mistress in the entire Gong Yu Palace, and there was no concubine room. It was deserted and empty.
That guy Jun Ziqian is cold and affectionate, not close to women, and he is like a banished immortal when he comes out of the world...
Xue Kong thought for a while and then rejected the idea. After all, the junior brother had been moved by his emotions not long ago.
He smiled slyly, he had instilled many "Phoenix-seeking Strategies" in his junior brother's ears these days, and now there was only one opportunity left, maybe he could enlighten him.
Xue Kong immediately stood up and left the palace to find Jun Ziqian.
As a result, he went around several palaces, but there was no trace of him. Just when he was confused, Yi Ming appeared.
He called out: "Yiming, where is my junior brother?"
Yi Ming bowed his hand to him and said: "Master is practicing swordsmanship in Wu Nian Hall."
After returning to the capital, Jun Ziqian resumed his status as prince, and they all unanimously resumed the title of "master".
Xue Kong frowned: "Sword practice?"
Yiming nodded, with worry on his face: "Master... I have practiced since yesterday."
Xue Kong's eyes deepened: "What? You mean you have been practicing for two days!"
Yiming nodded: "Yes, after the master went to see His Majesty, he came back looking a little bad, took the sword and went to Wu Nian Palace."
This was the first time they had seen their master like this. Even Mo Zhu, who had followed his master for many years, was worried, let alone them.
He looked at Xue Kong and said seriously: "Master Xue Kong, please go and see the master. The master is more or less willing to listen to your words."
As subordinates, they can only obey the arrangements, so how can they go against their master's wishes?
Xue Kong nodded: "Okay, don't worry, I'll go take a look right away."
After saying that, he walked towards Wu Nian Palace.
When they arrived at Wu Nian Hall, they saw Mo Zhu standing at the door, looking worriedly at the closed door.
Xue Kong walked over and asked, "Where is he?"
Mo Zhu knew who he was asking, so he whispered: "Master just put away his sword and entered Wu Nian Palace. He didn't want anyone to disturb him."
Xue Kong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay."
After saying that, he went over alone and pushed open the palace door.
Let no one disturb you, not including him.
Even if there is, what can happen to him if he goes in?
Pushing open the palace door, Xue Kong stepped into the Wu Nian Palace, and saw Jun Ziqian's figure swaying, reaching out to support the sandalwood pillar, and slowly leaned along the pillar.
Seeing this, Xue Kong's expression changed, and he walked up to support him: "Junior brother!"
He raised his eyes and saw blood slowly flowing down the corner of Jun Ziqian's mouth.
Jun Ziqian didn't wipe it, but just let the blood drip on the snow-white skirt. His cold and empty eyes were like ancient abyss, with no emotion.
Xue Kong immediately checked his pulse, and after a while, his expression became serious.
Staring at Jun Ziqian, he said with a serious tone: "Are you planning to hit the tenth level of the 'Wuxin Sword Technique'? Do you know that there is no way to perfect the sword technique without spiritual understanding? If you practice it forcefully like this, You will go crazy!"
Xue Kong saw something from his pulse again. She looked at Jun Ziqian in surprise and hesitated: "Junior brother, you..."
The requirement of Wuxin swordsmanship is to have no distracting thoughts, no desires and no desires.
But there is a faint trace of confusion in the junior brother's pulse.
In the past, because a gentleman had a humble mind and a strong will, he could do whatever he wanted no matter what method he learned or what sword he practiced.
However, at this moment, Jun Ziqian could no longer calm down and practice his sword.
Junior brother who has always been pure-minded and cold-hearted, what has influenced his mind?
Jun Ziqian calmly pulled his hand back without saying anything, and walked quietly and steadily towards the desk.
Xue Kong looked at his strong and tall back, and saw nothing unusual, until he saw a picture of a beauty on the desk, and he immediately understood.
The beauty in the painting has an unparalleled graceful figure, peerless independence, and a beauty that is beyond comparison with the world. Her single beautiful figure can make the world fall in love.
She is so beautiful that the sun and the moon are eclipsed, but she is stunningly beautiful.
It turned out to be the little girl.
It turned out that I thought my junior brother didn't care, that he didn't care.
But unknowingly...
It was her who disturbed his mind.
It was she who blocked his sword.
Look at Jun Ziqian looking at the people in the painting, his eyes gradually change from cold to warm.
Xue Kong didn't know whether to laugh or sigh. It seemed that his junior brother was aware of his thoughts.
The next moment, the smile on Xue Kong's lips turned into shock and was withdrawn, just because he saw the three words "Ye Youlan" written on the bottom of the painting.
"She...she is..."
In the entire world, there is only one clan named Ye, and that is...
"Ye clan, Ye Youlan! Ye Yufeng's sister." Jun Ziqian said lightly.
In Lifang Pavilion in Yongzhou, it was revealed that the little girl was Qing Hongyan's daughter, so he followed the clues to investigate.
The more he investigated, the more horrified he became, discovering that the beautiful woman's husband turned out to be Ye Ting, a member of the Ye clan, the son of Qilin.
Ye Yufeng and Ye Youlan are their children.
When he found out this news, Jun Ziqian could no longer calm down.
That simple and kind-hearted little girl turned out to be from the Ye family.
The emotions he had just sorted out were confused again.
"Oh my God!" Xue Kong was dumbfounded.
Jun Ziqian and Ye Youlan, two people who should not have crossed paths, actually got to know each other like this.
And she is also Ye Yufeng's younger sister.
Ye Yufeng must have also known about his sister's acquaintance with Jun Ziqian.
No wonder he looked at his junior brother with a very unkind look and almost wanted to fight with him. It turned out that it was not an illusion.
Xue Kong looked at Jun Ziqian with a serious look in his eyes: "Junior brother, she is from the Ye family, you shouldn't worry about her."
Just because he knew she was from the Ye family, Jun Ziqian felt heavy and confused.
All the past experiences with the little girl cannot be erased no matter what.
He... also didn't want to erase it.
But between the Jun family and the Ye family...
Seeing his expression, Xue Kong couldn't help but said: "Junior brother, since she has blocked your swordsmanship, then kill her..."
Before he could finish speaking, a hand came over and strangled his neck, buckling and strangling him with murderous intent.
"You are not allowed to touch her!" Jun Ziqian's tone was very cold and ruthless.
Xue Kong almost rolled his eyes, and said in a broken voice, painful and helpless: "No... don't move... don't move..."
For the first time, this junior brother was ruthless as long as he said he was ruthless, and fell out with him whenever he wanted to, and actually wanted to kill him for the sake of a woman.
Xue Kong was extremely speechless.
After saying the promise, Jun Ziqian slowly let go of him, looked down at the person in the painting, and said slowly after a long time: "I promised her that no matter who she is, I will protect her."
A gentleman's promise should be fulfilled for the rest of his life.
Xue Kong coughed for a long time, rubbed his pinched neck, and glared at him angrily: "Then you go find her. If you say you want to protect her and are not by her side, how can you fulfill your promise?"
Jun Ziqian said nothing, just looked at the beauty painting.
Xue Kong continued: "Isn't it too late for you to wait until something happens to her before you rush over?"
Jun Ziqian's eyes narrowed but he still said nothing.
Xue Kong was going to be pissed off by this junior brother, sighed, and said helplessly: "If you care about the grudges between the Jun family and the Ye family, then go to her by yourself, protect her, and don't let her know.
It’s okay if you don’t.”
Speaking of the grievances between the Jun family and the Ye family, Jun Ziqian's eyes suddenly darkened.
His father once assassinated Ye Youlan's parents, and this incident was the reason why the Ye clan actually retreated into the mountains and forests.
The price...is his mother and concubine.
Jun's family and Ye's family, my grandfather's generation also fought against foreign enemies together and achieved a good reputation.
When it comes to my father's generation, I don't know what happened between them, which actually caused the relationship between the two families to crack.
As for the younger generation, they are cautiously guarding against each other.
Why did it become like this? Jun Ziqian felt that he should investigate what happened back then.
Otherwise, there would be almost no hope between him and her.
Seeing him frowning, Xue Kong knew that he had an unsolvable knot in his heart, so he thought of what his master had said and said:
"Alas, she has blocked your way of swordsmanship. Since you don't want to...then let her be your way!"
Hearing this, Jun Ziqian's eyes narrowed, he looked at the snowy sky, and finally said: "...Become my way?"
Seeing his serious look, Xue Kong couldn't help but chuckle: "Yes, let her be your way! Just like you must be focused on practicing swordsmanship, you must do the same with her..."
Jun Ziqian raised his eyebrows, puzzled.
What does this have to do with sword training?
Xue Kong didn't give him an answer, but just smiled and said, "This is your way. You should think carefully about how to understand it."
Then he seemed to remember something again, and he said again: "Mo Zhu said that all your memories of when you were poisoned were gone. Do you need me to help you restore that memory?"
Hearing this, the coldness between Jun Ziqian's eyebrows disappeared, and his eyelids were slightly rippled. After a long silence, he said: "Okay."
In the jade pond of the palace, Jun Ziqian took off his robe and sat in.
Xue Kong prepared the medicine, boiled it, brought it over, and handed it to him.
Jun Ziqian glanced at the bowl of dark medicine, took it without hesitation, and drank the medicine without changing his expression.
Xue Kong took the empty bowl over, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, you can start. Drink it once every two hours, and I will ask Mo Zhu to bring it to you."
Get up and leave Yuchi.
So two hours passed. Mo Zhu brought the medicine in and gave it to his master to drink before going out.
At that time, Jun Ziqian was just sweating all over.
After drinking it three times in succession, the water in the Yuchi boiled, as if it had rolled away, and steamed up.
At dawn, Xue Kong didn't boil any more medicine and just stood guard outside the door.
Mo Zhu was the same, looking at the closed palace door with worried eyes, and asked in confusion: "Master Xue Kong, why do you have to restore the master's memory at that time?"
Xue Kong looked at the bright sun in the east at the beginning of the day and smiled meaningfully: "The road is long and long, but the road is coming. If we keep going, we can look forward to the future..."
Mo Zhu couldn't understand it, but he only roughly understood the meaning.
But I still don’t understand what it has to do with the master’s recovery of memory.
Suddenly, the palace door opened with a sound. They all looked over and Jun Ziqian walked out in a white robe.
His deep eyes suddenly shimmered with a cold light, and his rising and falling chest showed his obvious emotional instability.
Xue Kong curled her lips, it seemed like she had succeeded.
Mo Zhu was surprised: "Master, are you okay..."
Jun Ziqian slowly calmed down and said in a cold and elegant voice: "Mo Zhu, stay in Gong Yu Palace and wait for my king to come back."
After that, he flew out of Gong Yu Palace as if he was riding on the wind.
Mo Zhu was stunned: "Master... where are you going?"
Let them all stay in Gong Yu Palace, and go out alone without him!
He looked at Xue Kong: "Master Xue Kong, you should know where the master has gone, right?"
Xue Kong shook his head: "Where to go, I don't know."
However, I must go to find her, that's right.
Looking at the blazing look in Junior Brother's eyes just now, it seems that that memory had a great impact on him.
Maybe, junior brother has enlightened...
Xue Kong smiled, turned and left.

Tianshan Mountain
In a few days, Ye Yufeng and his party, led by Uncle Fan and the others, quickly entered the inner reaches of the mountain.
It's just that a few people were a little embarrassed. Although they all had superb martial arts and were fully prepared to prevent all kinds of poisonous insects, ants, monsters, and deal with ferocious and cruel beasts, they didn't expect that the less dangerous wild monkeys would
All their salutes were stolen.
When they returned to the cave, there was no trace of the salute.
This requires staying on Tianshan Mountain for several days. Without the courtesy, there will be no change of clothes and even dry food.
This is very embarrassing.
Fortunately, Ye Yufeng and Ye Youlan grew up in Ye Shen Valley, and the difficulties on the mountain did not trouble them at all.
After all, they were once thrown into such deep mountains by their elders for training for a long time.
Naturally, I dealt with it easily.
But others can't.
Ouyang Yunxi did not have such an experience, and the same was true for Ye Linyu.
Uncle Fan and the other three were a little better and could barely hold on.
And under such circumstances, there was heavy rain, and Ye Linyu, who was so weak, fell ill.
Ye Youlan stayed directly in the cave to take care of her, while the others went out to look for food.
Ye Linyu's eyes turned red, feeling guilty and blaming herself. She lay on the straw bed, not moving, but biting her lip.
But she heard a melodious and beautiful sound of the piano. She turned around and saw that it was the master playing the piano.
This was the first time she heard her master play the piano.
