Qi Liangye had just ordered someone to buy several sets of fashionable maid outfits from the market.

After the police bought it back, they sent it directly to Yilan Courtyard.

It was not too late when Xie Yu returned, and the golden light of the sunset had just emerged, and her purple dress immediately fluttered.

And after Qi Liangye himself was busy with his official duties, he finally rarely left the yard.

"Father, where are we going?"

Tokugawa held the whisk in his hand and asked his prince in a soft voice.

"To meet by chance."

?

Tokugawa didn't understand, so he stopped asking and led the way in front of the prince.

I heard that Xie Yu always likes to toss with the secret guards in the house these days. Qi Liangye is half-hearted to investigate. Generally, he wants to try the "random encounter" that Xie Yu personally said at the Liufeng Banquet today.

. …

It's already November, and the wind blowing in the setting sun is a little cool, and the two masters and servants slowly marched in the mansion.

On the road, servants kept walking towards the private courtyard, and applause could be vaguely heard.

A few strong winds could be heard in the distance, and then, a few figures were kicked out of the courtyard with a "bang".

The private courtyard is a place specially used by the Prince's Mansion to train the guards. The secret guards in the mansion usually do not appear in front of people, but now they should all be arranged by Xie Yu.

"Miss Xie is so powerful, she can kick Brother Dazhu flying with one kick."

The burly man who was kicked on the ground heard the conversation between Xiaocui and Rong's mother, and patted his head embarrassedly.

"I don't know what's going on. Lord Xie's feet looked light and fluttering, but when they touched me, they directly kicked me."

"It's alright, Big Zhu,"

Xiaocui immediately turned around to comfort her brother Dazhu.

There were a few people scattered around the door of the private courtyard. Seeing Xie Yu kicking people out one by one, they all laughed "giggling".

"Unsteady down."

Xie Yu put his hands behind his back, looked at several guards who rushed over, kicked the first one with a "slap".

"The power is too weak."

the second.

"No speed."

She flicked to the right and kicked the guard's waist. "Ouch", the guard was also kicked out.

"No speed."

The third.

"Neither power nor speed."

the fourth.

. …

In just a few minutes, the gate of the private courtyard had become a hill, and the grand occasion was still going on when Qi Liangye came.

The crowd watching the excitement at the door immediately scattered and fled. The dozens of guards who were stacked together looked at me and looked at you, but they couldn't get themselves out of the hill.

Seeing them twisting and turning, Tokugawa couldn't help laughing:

"Master Xie is inside?"

"Yes."

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

The guards were stacked together like a **** on a pillar. Xie Yu heard the movement at the door and walked out quickly.

She changed into a black bunt, and looked at the group of people in front of her who had not climbed out for a long time, kicked her feet, and immediately the tower cracked and turned into a sea.

"Your Highness."

She saluted, and Qi Liangye nodded slightly.

"Get up."

"how?"

This was asking how she was training, but Xie Yu shook her head truthfully, and glanced at the guards who had already lined up in several rows with disgust, "They can't even beat Ruyi."

Ruyi martial arts was the worst of the three of them, but using their Xie family's exercises, they could beat this group of people to death.

"But it's pretty good."

There should be no stronger guards in the capital than the Prince's Mansion.

Tokugawa wisely retreated not far away, and saw the two of them enter the yard one after the other, and his face immediately wrinkled with a smile.

After entering the private courtyard, Xie Yu picked up stones from the ground with his toes and shot at the tree in the courtyard.

With a "snack", a black-clothed guard was the one who was picked by Xie Yu last time.

"Why are you still standing on the tree?!"

Xie Yunahan said.

The guard's name was Liang San. Hearing that his facial features were all twisted together in grievances, he pulled the black hem from the ground and hid behind a tree to talk to Xie Yu.

"In the entire Prince's Mansion, I am the only one who is best at hiding in trees, so they arranged me here."

God is pitiful, and he doesn't want to. It's still a technical job to hide in a tree.

But every time Lord Xie beat him out.

Boohoo, the macho cry.

"Ugh."

Xie Yu sighed silently, then frowned and said, "There are 108 secret guards in the house, divided into four teams. Which team are you from?"

She has heard of this Liang San, and she is really good at it.

"One team."

"Okay, are you on duty tonight?"

"It's us."

"Okay, I'll patrol with you at night."

Liang San nodded subconsciously, "Huh?"

He jumped up the wall with a horrified expression, "Sir, this is not appropriate."

Qi Liangye, who was on the side, saw the two of them talking freely, and almost forgot himself. He glanced at the woman who was still shouting, "What's wrong, hurry up and climb the tree."

She waved her hand impatiently, and when she was about to turn away, she suddenly found a white corner of her clothes.

She paused, and when she met the man's half-smiling eyes, she smiled awkwardly.

"Your Highness,"

"Remember me?"

"Isn't this busy... official business..."

Xie Yu pointed at the tree covertly, and Liang San on the tree covertly hugged the branches. He didn't say hello to His Highness just now!

"Let's go."

Seeing her shrinking her neck, Qi Liangye raised her eyebrows and said with her hands behind her back.

.

After leaving the private courtyard, the sun sets in the west, and the red light spreads across the sky, like a burning cloud, reflecting a variety of colors through the air.

Qi Liangye raised his eyes to look into the distance, and there were birds soaring in the distance. Xie Yu looked up to see his expression, only to feel that there was some indescribable sense of alienation in his eyes.

Like a worldly exile.

He looks so good.

Xie Yu lowered her head and kicked the stones on the side of the road.

Eunuch Tokugawa had disappeared for some time, and only two people were left standing in place.

"How does it feel to be in Beijing?"

On the way, Qi Liangye lowered his eyes and tilted his head slightly.

The woman subconsciously pulled out a braid from the back of her head and began to twist it,

"I don't like it here"

"I like fighting and killing all corners of the world."

"Simple, straightforward, speak according to one's ability, not one's family background,"

"Happy grievances, unrestrained and unrestrained."

Qi Liangye took a step.

Xie Yu didn't hide her inner thoughts. She was a courtier, but also a living person.

It is often said that if a monarch wants a minister to die, he has to die. Xie Yu went to the capital, not only because of the loyalty and righteousness of Xie's ancestors, but also because she wanted to see what the peak of power was, and she did see these when she was with him. The true face of the nobility in the capital.

It's just that the experience is poor, which makes her want to quit.

"Don't be greedy for wealth and fame?"

The man's voice is very gentle, like the weak night wind secretly hiding in your ears.

"I don't lack these things."

Qi Liangye glared at her sideways,

"What do you want?"

The man's black hair was loosely tied behind his head, and his body was full of bookish air. Xie Yu thought about it, leaned against the white jade railing of the pond, and looked up at him: "I want... freedom?"

"Who knows, oh, in this life, no matter how you live it, you will pass it."

Qi Liangye smiled, inexplicably relieved.

"If I accomplish my mission, I might be like you too,"

"Let's go."

"There's still a long way to go."

It was the first time that Xie Yu saw the word "frustrated" on him with a sigh and regret.

Maybe he hates it here too.

But everything is just guesswork.

She didn't expect that what she said would make waves in the prince's heart.

Qi Liangye heard something different from Xie Yu's words.

There is no shackles between rulers and ministers, there is no distinction between master and servant, there is no division between people, there is no concept that the superior must respect, and there is no impetuous worldly yearning for wealth, honor and glory. She rushed to the capital with warmth and tried to put herself temperature to others.

He was accustomed to facing the cold walls around him since he was a child. His father and mother would coldly issue orders. For the life and death of slaves, everything was taken for granted, including all the dead people in the torrent of history.

In the past, they regarded it as a rule and an unbreakable iron order. In her eyes, it turned out to be so easy to crack.

Walking on the sheep intestines path, Qi Liangye even thought uncontrollably:

How many such people are there?

They see money, fame and fortune as dung, and even… they regard kingship as dung.

His footsteps were a bit fast, and even his always indifferent face was cracked a little so that no one could easily notice it.

"Xie Yu, in your heart, what is eternal?"

In a panic, Qi Liangye accepted this fact, and only had time to hurriedly ask this question.

"time."

Only time.

There is only time.

Wealth, fame and fortune will change with the rise and fall of a family dynasty, people's lives will gradually fade away with time, friendship and youth will be annihilated by time, and the houses built of blue bricks and red tiles will collapse with age. Human civilization, including human civilization, will be destroyed in the long river of time.

Human beings are so powerful, yet so small against the backdrop of time.

And she is so small.

"You know, everything will pass away, except for time, our life will end with the exhaustion of life, and the prosperous and prosperous human civilization will slowly move forward in the process of running in with natural civilization, but one day, we will all die."

"Whether it is spiritual or material."

The two stood in front of the main courtyard.

The sun's rays were finally completely annihilated.

Lanterns have been hung in the yard.

Looking at the lights, Qi Liangye murmured a little absently:

"Is everything going to disappear?"

For the first time he had heard someone tell him so truthfully that everything would disappear.

"Then why, during the change of dynasties, generations of emperors are so obsessed with the struggle for power and tactics, and so obsessed with these fleeting things?"

A team of guards approached, it was the team that Xie Yu practiced today.

They stopped their chests one by one, their eyes were full of light, their steps were neat and unified, and they even showed the same respect for the prince.

Xie Yu gave them the aisle, and couldn't help but get closer to the man beside him.

The man still seemed absent-minded, but his eyes as deep as a black pool were fixed on the woman's eyes.

Those brown eyes reflected all kinds of characters, the colored lanterns, and his figure.

But he clearly felt that she did not see herself in her eyes.

He asked persistently:

"Why is that so?"

The author has something to say:

The male protagonist has been successfully brainwashed by the female protagonist, hahahaha, but in fact Xie Yu was able to stand with him today and say these outrageous words because Qi Liangye already liked her subjectively, so she did not punish her. In the real ancient times, as long as the word kingship is mentioned, it is basically useless.
