Spring Breeze Crossing Guanshan

Chapter 21

Since autumn, when Bai Suhan returned to the mansion, the atmosphere in Prince Ning's mansion became a little subtle.

Bai Suhan was originally from the martial arts world, and was later recruited by Guan Junchen. In this palace, his martial arts are on par with Guan Junchen. Although the relationship between the two is master and servant, they are not too rigid in etiquette. Practicing on the martial arts arena.

It's just that he's been away doing business for Guan Junchen recently, so he doesn't come back to the Jinling mansion often.

He has always felt that he is capable of doing things and has superb martial arts skills, so he can't help being a little arrogant, and he has always secretly cared about being inferior to Wang Jinzhi, who seems to have nothing special about him.

Now that Bai Suhan is in charge of important affairs, he often goes to the Han Wenzhai to have secret talks with Guan Junchen, it seems that Wang Jinzhi is squeezed out of place.

The servants observed Bai Suhan's words and expressions, and they just called Bai Suhan "Guan Shi Bai", but at first hearing, he was no different from Guan Shi Wang.

On this day, Bai Suhan went to Hanwenzhai as usual to discuss important matters with Guan Junchen.

As soon as he entered, he saw a scene that was a bit staggering.

Beside Guan Junchen's large desk, there was an extra pear wood chair in an indecent manner.

Sitting on the chair was a boy in plain clothes, with a fair and slender neck, who was writing something intently with his head down.

Guan Junchen, on the other hand, sat beside the young man nonchalantly, looking at his file.

To say that the desk is really spacious, let alone one more teenager, even three or four more would not be a problem.

But Guan Junchen is the lord of the prince, even his beloved Mr. Heyuan would not dare to sit side by side with him like this.And look at the young man's clothes, it is clearly not much different from ordinary servants, it is not as luxurious and incomparable as Mr. Heyuan.

A few days after Bai Suhan returned to the mansion, Guan Junchen didn't tell him everything about Yan Chunxi, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

But before he had time to speak, the door over there was knocked again, and it was Wang Jinzhi in Tsing Yi who walked in.

"Sit down." Guan Junchen raised his head and said, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then frowned slightly, turned his head and said softly to the young man next to him: "You put too much tea today, look, it's not going to make it through After a long time, the tea will be bitter and difficult to drink."

Bai Suhan just sat sideways, and looked at Wang Jinzhi.

Hearing what Guan Junchen said, I thought the young man would stand up and apologize in fear, but he didn't expect the plain-clothed boy to look up at Guan Junchen, showing no sign of fear at all, and just said nonchalantly, "Then I'll wait a while." I'll refill it for you."

Bai Suhan was shocked when he heard that this young man had done something wrong, yet he dared to ask Guan Junchen to wait.

But what surprised him even more was that Guan Junchen didn't blame him, he just smiled at the young man with a good temper, as if he was very happy.Then he turned his head and said to him indifferently: "What you want to report, just say it directly while Jinzhi is here."

"My lord..." Bai Suhan frowned, glanced sharply at the young man at the side, and said in a deep voice: "The matter is of great importance. The servants are here, so it is inconvenient for Suhan to speak out."

He has an arrogant personality, and he has always had a direct relationship with Guan Junchen, never hiding anything. Seeing Yan Chunxi standing there so inappropriately, Wang Jinzhi didn't say a word. I spoke.

Hearing what he said, the young man couldn't help feeling a little helpless on his face. He stood up, as if he wanted to leave, but was held back by Guan Junchen.

The expression on Guan Junchen's face remained motionless. He put down the teacup, but a trace of unquestionable domineering flashed across the dark-painted Danfeng's eyes, staring at Bai Suhan and said word by word: "You and Jinzhi both remember——in the future, the mansion There is no need to avoid him about any matter, no matter how important or secret it is. If he wants to know something, he must be straightforward and must not hide anything. Do you understand?"

Bai Suhan was taken aback for a moment.

But Wang Jinzhi beside him was not surprised at all, and quickly bowed slightly, and responded lightly from the side: "Jinzhi understands the identity of Mr. Yan. If Mr. Yan asks you something, you should answer it yourself. Nothing to hide."

Bai Suhan was at a loss for a moment when he heard Mr. Yan's identity. It can be seen that Guan Junchen seemed very satisfied with Wang Jinzhi's reaction, but then he looked at him coldly, with displeased eyes: "Suhan, Don't you tell me yet?"

"Yes." Bai Suhan could only answer in a low voice.

When he was about to open his mouth to report, he was a little dumbfounded.

I saw Guan Junchen rolling up his cuffs leisurely, holding the ink stick on the side with his slender fingers, and while slowly grinding the square inkstone, he turned his head and smiled and said to Mr. Yan: "You can remember what he says. What - I'll grind ink for you."

"En." The boy's fair and handsome face blushed slightly, but he didn't refuse.

She just straightened Xiuyi's back, held the pen and looked at him seriously, as if waiting for his report.

Bai Suhan felt his back tense instantly, but he had never seen Guan Junchen treat anyone like this.

He thought that he should have surpassed Wang Jinzhi long ago, but when he thought of his own reaction just now, compared with Wang Jinzhi's smooth response, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be far from Wang Jinzhi in terms of speculation.

"To my lord."

When Bai Suhan talked about the business, he didn't think about the irrelevant things any more, and his face suddenly became serious: "The letter from Beijing last night, Wuyixiang Xia Commander came out of Chang'an a few days ago with the Emperor Sword. Xia Baimei's skills are profound, and our spies dare not forcefully follow her. Therefore, we still don't know where Xia Baimei went after leaving Chang'an. The prince thought that his trip...?"

Guan Junchen continued to study the ink slowly, but when he raised his head slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You don't need to ask me, you should know in your heart - Commander Wuyixiang is already very powerful in normal times, as long as you want to The Huangji sword is only needed when you win the second rank and above of the imperial court, to show the imperial franchise and the will of the emperor. King Pingnan is about to be escorted to Beijing, and Lord Xia is the most trusted commander of Wuyi Lane by the emperor. Son, he did not stay in Chang'an to prepare for trial, but went out of the city with the Emperor Sword on his back, what he did was not a trivial matter."

Yan Chunxi held the pen in his right hand, and wrote quickly on the rice paper in a swish-swish—a few drops of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead as he wrote.

He had seldom dabbled in this kind of imperial court affairs before, but he had heard of the great name of Wuyi Lane in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

What's more, Xia Baimei had been to Prince Ning's Mansion before, and he also took a photo at that time.

Although he didn't really know what happened that time, but Xia Baimei's evil white eyebrows, hoarse voice, and deep and secretive smile all made him feel chilly invisibly.

Now that this name appeared in Guan Junchen's mouth again, he felt that every word he wrote seemed to carry a solemn evil spirit, rushing towards him.

"My lord, you should also know. If Xia Baimei comes to Jinling on this trip—"

Bai Suhan looked at Guan Junchen, was silent for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "Most likely, it is ordered to take you down."

As soon as he uttered these words, the entire Han Wenzhai was completely silent.

Wang Jinzhi's shoulders trembled, but then he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Even Guan Junchen's grinding movements couldn't help but stop at that moment.

But at this time, there was only a sudden "pop".

Yan Chunxi's right hand softened, and he couldn't hold the pen for a moment.

The barrel of the pen hit the rice paper, and the thick ink on the pen brush soaked half of the rice paper in an instant, and the dark color carried an ominous sign.

Bai Suhan cast his gaze over, and saw that the boy's face turned pale in an instant, and when he turned his head to look at Guan Junchen, his lips were trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say a thousand words.

"Pick up your pen."

Guan Junchen turned his head to look at the boy.

Although his tone was harsh, he put down the ink stick in his hand, picked up the wet and dirty rice paper and put it aside, then laid out another stack of plain white rice paper for the young man gently, and said in a low voice : "Continue to write."

After finishing the order, Guan Junchen's expression did not fluctuate. He said to Bai Suhan indifferently: "I have already prepared for the worst, so there is no need to make a big fuss. Besides, I am the first-rank prince, the former emperor With the death-preventing golden sword in hand, it may not be that bad situation. Send people to watch the garrison around Jinling City, as long as there is no change, only Xia Baimei will not be in such a bad situation."

"Yes."

Bai Suhan bowed his head and answered.

"How about you, do you have something to report?"

"Returning to the prince, the Double Ninth Festival will be in a few days. According to the rules of previous years, the prefect of Cao invites you to a feast with Jinling officials, big and small, to enjoy the lanterns and wine."

"No. If there is nothing else, you all should leave now."

The Double Ninth Festival has always been a big event. In addition to enjoying the chrysanthemums in autumn, every family will carry lanterns of various colors to the river at night, write their wishes on small white paper and put them in the lanterns. The wick was burned to ashes, and then the lantern was put into the water, watching it drift away.

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty all believed that good wishes would come true in the coming year as the water gurgled down.

Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is the most solemn and grand festival in the Great Zhou Dynasty besides the New Year.

In previous years, Guan Junchen also gave the magistrate face to go to the city to enjoy the lanterns together, but this year, he really lacked interest in such boring entertainment.

Yan Chunxi remained silent until Wang Jinzhi and Bai Suhan retreated, and only he and Guan Junchen were left in the entire Hanwenzhai, then he raised his head to look at Guan Junchen.

"It's not proper," Guan Junchen frowned slightly, but his expression was not fierce at all: "If you are so surprised again, how can I teach you to listen to our discussions here in the future?"

The young man's face was still pale, and he suppressed the worry in his round eyes, but the corners of his eyes turned red. He opened his mouth slightly, but said nothing.

Guan Junchen looked at him, and pinched Yan Chunxi's face with his fingers lovingly.

He forgot that he had just pinched the ink stick, but now that he touched it, there were a few thick black ink marks on the boy's fair face, like a kitten with thick black whiskers growing out of thin air.

Guan Junchen couldn't help laughing, and a smile could not help showing on his stern face.

He seemed to be completely unaffected by what happened just now, and suddenly leaned into Yan Chunxi's ear, and whispered in a low voice: "Double Ninth Festival, let's sneak into the city without telling anyone, and don't go to any official banquet. Just us The two of you can eat whatever you want, go to put on lanterns, go shopping at the night market—just like in Gusu back then, okay?"

Yan Chunxi shook his head, he seemed a little displeased that Guan Junchen was still talking about other things at the moment, and asked with a sullen little face with a few thick black ink marks: "I, I want to know...just now Is what you said true?"

"What's the matter?" Guan Junchen raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.

"Just..." Yan Chunxi opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said worriedly: "Just, the matter that Commander Xia might be unfavorable to you..."

He didn't want to bluntly say the word "take it down", so he just used it as a disadvantage, but he clearly showed more and more fear and fear.

It's not that Guan Junchen doesn't take his wealth and life seriously, he is indifferent to such important news.

It's just that in front of Yan Chunxi, who is younger than him, he is like any ordinary man in the world, unwilling to show the slightest panic in front of his sweetheart, and always feels that it does not match his spirit.

But seeing Yan Chunxi looking at him earnestly, worried and at a loss, he felt too cute, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Come into my arms, and I'll tell you."

Yan Chunxi pursed his lips all of a sudden, then lowered his head, although he didn't refuse, but the way he didn't respond was obviously unhappy.

Guan Junchen didn't force it either, he took another sip of the really bad tea, sighed, and replied honestly: "Yes, Commander Xia might be against me."

"Why, why..."

Yan Chunxi raised his head all of a sudden, his eyes couldn't help showing helplessness and fear: "Why did the emperor treat you..."

Just saying the two words "Emperor", Yan Chunxi felt a tremor in his chest.

He is not a fool, of course he knows that the commander of Bird Clothes Lane represents the will of the emperor, but that is the emperor——

The real dragon emperor, who is looked up by thousands of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, represents the supreme power between heaven and earth.

He has always regarded Guan Junchen as a towering mountain, but today he felt fear for Guan Junchen for the first time - what his mountain has to face now is a force as vast and majestic as heaven and earth.

This force can crush anyone into powder in an instant.

Guan Junchen didn't know how to speak for a while.

Although he knew many things in his heart, he always felt that he couldn't explain them one by one to the still naive young man.

After pondering for a long time, he finally put down the teacup, looked at Yan Chunxi and said, "Xi'er thinks, what does the emperor care about most when he is sitting on the dragon throne?"

"Your Majesty, what your Majesty cares most about should be the well-being of the tens of thousands of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Yan Chunxi raised his head, and subconsciously thought of the books he had taught in the private school before, and murmured: "The people regard the king as their heart, and the king regards the people as their foundation. Isn't that so...?"

"Do you really believe that?"

Guan Junchen's tone was tepid, but when he stared at Yan Chunxi, those dark red phoenix eyes still made the young man feel his back tense. He vaguely remembered the stern face of the teacher back then, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit like a student who didn't work hard. He bowed his head timidly, and said in a low voice: "If that's not the case, then..."

"Actually, you vaguely know that's not the case. It's just that you don't dare to say it. In fact, it's not just you. No one in Dazhou dared to mention it. It's just that since you asked today, between you and me... everything can be discussed."

Guan Junchen's voice was deep, and he said calmly, word by word: "What the emperor cares most about is not the people of Li, it has never been—"

"After the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he first vigorously supported Wuyixiang, who was outside the three divisions, to eliminate officials who had never clinging to him before, and then took down King Xiang with lightning speed. Everyone is at risk. In order to achieve the goal, even if countless officials and merchants are taken to death on unwarranted charges, they will not hesitate. You say, such an emperor really puts the well-being of the people of Dazhou as the most important thing? "

A few drops of sweat suddenly appeared on Yan Chunxi's forehead, and his fingers trembled slightly.

After Guan Junchen said it so slowly, he immediately thought that the Yan family was convicted at that time, and it was said that they bribed the prefect of Gusu with 300 taels of silver.

At that time, there was a lot of trouble in Gusu, and then the prefect of Gusu was sentenced to death for accepting bribes, and Princess Xiang came from a wealthy businessman of the Lin family in Gusu, and had close contacts with the prefect of Gusu.

All these are connected in series, as if revealing some kind of gloomy truth.

When he was young, he only had vague doubts about many things, but until now, he vaguely felt a kind of fear that sent chills down his spine.

"Xi'er, let me tell you," Guan Junchen said calmly, "What the emperor cares about is never the common people, but the high dragon chair."

"What he cares about is the throne of the people - the absolute power that will last forever. For this reason, no matter how many people, officials and ministers he sacrifices, he will not hesitate. This matter is not mentioned in the sage books. Can write, the teacher can't teach, but you have to remember, this is what an emperor really thinks."

Although the Hanwenzhai was still quiet, Yan Chunxi could clearly hear the violent heartbeat in his chest like thunder.

"Then do you know why the emperor cares most about the throne and power?"

Yan Chunxi shook his head numbly, he was not yet eighteen and had never had contact with court officials.

For the emperor, all his admiration and admiration came from the letter.

The emperor is like a real dragon descending into the world, he should be ordered by the sky, and look down on the public opinion.

He always understood the words of the sages very quickly and memorized them very firmly. Although he often felt that they were obscure and old-fashioned, he had never felt such a creepy feeling like now.

It was as if a door was suddenly pushed open in front of him, and outside the door was an ignorant darkness where he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Do you still remember our previous grievances..." Guan Junchen smiled wryly at this point, and then continued in a low voice: "It's all about the fact that I treat you as an object instead of a real person."

"I've never had a good talk with you about that matter... I was really bad before, I just thought that you were young and ignorant, but bold, and I also felt that what you said and thought was beyond the deep-rooted thoughts in my mind It was too much, so I felt even more annoyed. Only later, when you knelt outside the Zhengxin Hall without hesitation, did I suddenly think about what happened at that time again."

When Guan Junchen said this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and gently wiped the sweat beads on the young man's forehead with his fingers. His voice was a little hoarse, but there was a faint deep look in his Danfeng eyes: "Now, perhaps it is also the time, Tell me what's really on your mind."

Yan Chunxi couldn't help but suddenly raised his head, his lips trembled slightly, and his almond eyes looked at Guan Junchen without blinking.

Of course he faintly felt that there were many deep secrets hidden in Guan Junchen's heart that he could not see yet.

Perhaps because of the huge age and experience gap between the two, Yan Chunxi always felt that Guan Junchen seemed to have built a high wall around him, keeping him coldly outside.

Until now, maybe he was finally told to wait until this day, when he was able to hear the true thoughts in Guan Junchen's heart, he felt his heart pounding, and he didn't even understand why he was so inexplicably nervous.

"Xi'er, you were born in a salt merchant in Gusu. You are smart and educated, so you must be quite familiar with Sangang why?"

"Of course I know." Yan Chunxi hesitated for a moment, but then he said without hesitation: "The ruler guides his ministers, the father guides his son, and the husband guides his wife. These are the three guides."

"That's right." Guan Junchen looked at Yan Chunxi with his dark phoenix eyes. He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

"Maybe you haven't thought about the meaning of San Gang. But in fact, the word "Gang Chang" covers you and me, and even the days and nights of tens of thousands of people in Dazhou. They seem to refer to different things, but The essence is about one thing. When you were born in the Yan family, you had to obey your father, who was actually the ruler of the family. When you grow up to be a man, you had to obey more people. Do you think It’s just that the ruler is the guide for the ministers, but in fact, whoever the ruler refers to, the ruler means the superior—even if it’s not the emperor, but just a magistrate who is half an official higher than you, it can be your guide.”

"You are still young, and you always think that you are just yourself, Yan Chunxi, a unique and unique person. But in fact, this is not the case. Not only are you not, but I am not—"

When Guan Junchen said this, a look of pain flashed in Danfeng's eyes, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "You are never alone, you are either a son or a minister, you are just a One of the interlocking rings. When you were the prince of Heyuan, you were the guide of the servants, but your last ring was me—when Prince Chaoning, my words were your guide, In the same way, I must obey the will of the emperor. This is the true meaning of the ethics of the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years. No one is an independent person in the world. A link in the hierarchy, and the emperor is the top link in it."

Yan Chunxi and Guan Junchen looked at each other deeply, the youth's clear almond eyes suddenly became hollow, but then a trace of confusion and helplessness emerged.

He is only approaching his age, and he has never thought of many things so clearly. It was only today that Guan Junchen tore a corner of the chaotic sky, allowing him to glimpse this gray, heavily hierarchical world. Zhou Dynasty.

Just that little bit of truth was enough to make him feel chills in his heart.

He always thought that what he was full of love at that time was met with Guan Junchen's ruthlessness and indifference, but until today, he realized how deep-rooted it was that he recklessly wanted to break.

"We are like building a tall building. If I shake, the emperor will not sit still. And if you on the floor below me try to struggle, I will also feel uneasy. So - at that time you contradicted me like that I, I will be very angry. Maybe you always think that I was extremely cruel to you at the beginning, but to me, I really consciously retreated step by step at that time, and I have made too many concessions for you. It's not that I'm ruthless to you, even though I love you, you can't help but obey me, this is the norm of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"But who would have thought that you, a little donkey like you, just didn't care about it, slammed into the wall all the time, pretended to be bloody and refused to turn back, but it hurt me so much... ..."

Guan Junchen sighed deeply, and when he said this, there was a trace of deep affection in his eyes, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "You were disheartened and said you were going to leave the house, but how could I Can you be let out? Others will not teach you these principles. A little fool like you has become the most despicable slave in this interlocking chain. If you leave the mansion, others will only tell you to kneel down to How can you bear it if you go into the soil?"

Yan Chunxi opened his mouth, and there was a trace of wet tears in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and held back, turning his head away from Guan Junchen.

It wasn't that he was still quarreling, but he still couldn't help trembling slightly and said: "But, no matter how others look down on me, I don't care....Only when you, you see me as a thing, I feel really sad ah……

"In my heart, I just don't think that my status is low, and I just don't think that my affection for you is beyond the rules. Even if you say so today, I, I think so, I am in front of you, Never some kind of interlocking ring—"

The young man spoke faster and faster, and even stammered a little because of anxiety, but his almond eyes were full of stubborn and determined light, but he bit his lips nervously because he was a little uneasy with Guan Junchen's reaction, and looked straight at Guan Junchen: "I, I'm determined and I won't change my mind. If you, if you still don't like it, I..."

"constant."

Guan Junchen hugged the young boy's soft body, and just pressed his forehead gently against Yan Chunxi's smooth forehead, with a slight smile on his face, and a hint of relief in his helpless eyes, he whispered Repeatedly: "Xie'er is the best. Don't change."

"En." Yan Chunxi's response was nasal.

Hearing Guan Junchen's words, he couldn't help but tremble violently, and closed his eyes tightly in vain, but the roots of the dark eyelashes instantly became moist.

"Then you," the young man's voice was obviously flustered, he didn't open his eyes to look at Guan Junchen, but asked tremblingly: "The emperor wants to treat you badly, is it, is it because you resist like me?" so it made him feel uneasy?"

Guan Junchen and Yan Chunxi's foreheads were touching, and the smile on his face was a bit bitter. The little guy was naturally extremely sharp and smart, and he asked the key right away, but it was precisely what he was most helpless about.

"Xi'er," he sighed wearily, his brows could not help but slightly furrowed, and he said in a low voice, "I really have a clear conscience about the word Yu Zhong. I have been a soldier for half my life, and I have made great achievements. Over the Great Zhou Wanmin, he is even more worthy of the name of the champion bestowed by the late emperor."

"Now that we are in such a situation, it is precisely because I just told you that the emperor is the leader of the ministers. The emperor means the rules and laws-the emperor wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. If the emperor is suspicious, the minister will Even if I jumped into the surging Yellow River in an instant, I would never be able to prove my innocence."

"That's not right, my lord."

Yan Chunxi suddenly opened his eyes, the young man's body tensed slightly, his round almond eyes suddenly looked at Guan Junchen stubbornly: "Father is the guide for the son, and the king is the guide for the minister, what about the king? What is the guide of the king?" ?”

Guan Junchen raised his head, and at that moment he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

This was indeed a question that was too abrupt, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt a shudder in his heart.

What the young man said was really too dangerous a thought, but before he could speak, Yan Chunxi stubbornly continued to speak.

"If it is said that Gang Chang is the rules and principles of the world, then the behavior of the king should naturally be regulated by Gang Chang."

The young man spoke slowly, and he seemed to be able to sort out his thoughts more and more clearly. He looked at Guan Junchen seriously, paused every word, and said in a clearer voice: "The king is the supreme in the world, but the rules should not restrain the people. And it surpasses the emperor alone. The sages took Yao, Shun and Yu as the models of benevolent monarchs, precisely because the king should take the word "benevolence" as the first priority in his heart."

"Xi'er, you..."

Guan Junchen's fingers trembled slightly. Looking at the little boy in front of him, he felt his heart beating faster and faster.

"Brother Cheng, as the saying goes, the emperor treats the ministers with courtesy, and the ministers serve the emperor with loyalty. If the current emperor wantonly suspects virtuous officials and kills innocent people indiscriminately, can he be called benevolent, can he be called polite? If he is not benevolent, Can he be said to have broken Gangchang and acted indiscriminately?"

Yan Chunxi's eyes gradually became extraordinarily clear and clear. When he looked over with his almond eyes, Guan Junchen suddenly realized that the young man in front of him had quietly grown up.

His appearance, which was considered too soft at first, gradually faded away, and his straight nose bridge and slender eyebrows like distant mountains showed a trace of refined handsomeness after the transformation.

He was dressed in plain white clothes, but when the resolute and resolute look bloomed in those clear eyes, they were so beautiful that they were so radiant that people couldn't take their eyes off them.

How well Guan Junchen knew that the young man's words were truly treasonous, but every word and every word seemed like a sharp sword piercing the hazy sky.

He felt indescribably happy, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling terrified.

"Xi'er, my baby."

Guan Junchen's voice was a little hoarse, he shook his head, and suddenly he hugged the boy's body tightly in his arms.

His heart throbbed, how could he not fall in love with such an extraordinary and intelligent little guy.

But the more he indulged in this way, the more frightened he felt in his heart.

Even if he hugs him so tightly now, he is still afraid that he may lose it one day.

He has never been so weak and afraid of the unknown road ahead.He was originally a strong and tenacious person, but now he has a fatal weakness. At this moment, he deeply realizes that Yan Chunxi will be his lifelong concern.

Guan Junchen rubbed Yan Chunxi's back with his hands, and he murmured: "Little fool, it is really rare for you to be so clear and sincere. But you still think too simple about many of these things. Have you ever thought that even if you Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he is really unkind... Who in this world can come to question him?"

Yan Chunxi leaned against Guan Junchen's arms, his eyes were blank for a moment, but then he stretched out his hand to hold Guan Junchen's palm, he raised his head, and suddenly said: "If that's the case, then, can we leave?"

"leave……?"

"Yeah." Yan Chunxi nodded, thought for a while, and whispered: "We, we won't be a part of this high-rise, let's leave—just like the ranger written in the book...to wander the world , Go and see all the mountains and rivers of Dazhou, okay?"

Guan Junchen couldn't help but froze when he saw the young man's longing gaze in his arms.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of the two lines of poem that Prince Gong left for Guan Shanyue before his departure, "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and seeing Nanshan leisurely".

Thinking of retreating, thinking of retreating, these two words that the emperor's uncle told him came to his mind in an instant.

This is the first time that he really thought of retreating in his heart.

Let go of all the feats and glory, and never be the noble Prince Ning again.

Riding alone with Yan Chunxi, walking through the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, seeing the setting sun in Guanshan, even if you are a commoner living this life, what is there not to be happy?
