Chang'an is good

Under the eaves of the green tile corridor outside the hall, crystal raindrops dripped from time to time.

The people brought by Cui Jing stood guard from a distance. They seemed to blend into the night, ensuring that no one could eavesdrop or disturb the conversation in the hall.

The girl in the hall looked down at the contents in the box, and as the lights flickered, her thick eyelashes cast a large shadow under her eyes.

She had not had time to tie her hair carefully in the future, and the black hair tied with a ribbon had loosened a lot during the ride here. At this moment, a few strands were scattered on the cheeks and ears, covering the expression between her eyebrows and eyes.

After a while, she reached out to pick up the contents of the box.

That is a sword.

A sword with a name.

The moment the sword is held in the hand, the familiar sense of connection, spanning 16 years, is re-established between the person and the sword in an instant.

The weight of this sword has long been integrated with her in battles where life and death were fought.

Every tiny scratch on the blade is a testimony of the two walking together.

Chang Suining held the sword in front of him, held the scabbard in one hand, and slowly pulled out half of the sword with the other.

The blade of the sword is sharp and bright, and the blade is like a mirror. The girl's eyes reflected at this moment overlap with those eyes from the past.

meet again.

Chang Suining spoke softly to those eyes and Yaorijian in his heart.

Cui Jing quietly looked at the person holding the sword and the sword in her hand, and suddenly felt like the falling rain was falling on Haichuan.

Her sword, only in her hands can she truly shine.

The sword blade was slowly pushed back into the sheath by Chang Suining.

She regained consciousness for a moment, then finally looked at Cui Jing and asked, "Did you get it from the Xuance Mansion in the capital?"

"Yes." Cui Jing said: "I made someone make an identical one, and replaced it."

Chang Sui Ning said "Ah" clearly: "You are stealing by guarding yourself."

Cui Jing smiled: "Forget it."

"Very carefully guarding and stealing." Chang Suining also showed a smile, did not say any other unnecessary excuses, and said simply: "Since I have put so much thought into it, then I will accept it."

She said, holding the sword in her hand, and looked at it carefully, as if an old friend reunited, she was reluctant to look away.

After a moment, he couldn't help but said: "But...it has received incense and worship in Xuance Mansion for so many years, and I am afraid it has developed some Buddha nature. I don't know if it is still willing to kill the enemy with me now."

Cui Jing said: "As long as it is held by His Highness, wherever the sword is pointed, it is the direction of the sword's heart."

Chang Sui Ning was joking, but when he heard how serious he was, he followed his words and asked, "How do you know it told you?"

Cui Jing nodded, his expression still serious: "Yes, it told me."

Over the years, he has often "talked" to them. They have been endowed with souls by their owners, and those who are interested can sense them.

At least, he always thought so.

"Then I will believe it." Chang Suining changed his left hand for the right hand, and he couldn't put it down. His sword was indeed the most convenient.

Bian asked Cui Jing casually: "If someone recognizes it later, I will say, I admire His Royal Highness the former crown prince, so I made a fake one like this... How about this statement?"

Cui Jing: "Very good."

The fact is that it is indeed a person who admires His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince, and he does the fake thing.

After he responded to this voice, he immediately walked towards the golden nanmu screen. After a while, he walked out from behind the screen with something extra in his hand.

He came to Chang Suining, held the bow in front of her with both hands.

"Wan Yue is here, and I will also return it to His Highness."

A young man who was much taller than Chang Sui Ning stood in front of her. He was tall and tall, his dark blue robes were crisp and smooth, and his whole body was full of natural aura. However, the movement of holding the bow at this moment revealed a hint of silent piety for no reason.

Chang Suining looked at the bow held in his hands for a moment, and said, "You protect it very well."

It can be seen that it has been used all the time, but it has also been maintained with care.

Also protected by him so hard are Yao Ri, Duo Huo, Ah Dian, and even the entire Xuance Army.

He called Ah Dian "senior", but he was more like the head of the family, with all his heart and enough means and ability to protect everything in Xuan Ce Mansion, big and small.

"Cui Jing, thank you very much."

She wanted to say this thank you a long time ago.

"It's a matter of my duty." Cui Jing didn't ask her for credit, but still maintained the posture of holding the bow.

But Chang Sui Ning said: "You are right, you are in your position."

"At the beginning, I said that whoever has the ability to take charge of the Xuance Army in the future will give this moon bow to whoever it is. Now it is yours, so there is no need to talk about returning it."

She said: "If I want to get it back, I will get it back with my own ability."

She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Cui Jing with a smile: "Before that, it was yours."

This is the Wanyue Bow, and it also represents the military power of the Xuance Army. Today's Xuance Army is no longer the Xuance Army of 15 years, and she still has no ability to take it back at this moment.

Cui Jing could return the Moon Bow to her, but Xuance's army could not return to her mere Chang Suining's hands based on someone's words. This was a transfer of military power, not a child's play.

Cui Jing understood what she meant and chose to respect her.

Then he lowered his hand, held the bow by his side, and said to her slowly: "Okay, then I will wait for you to get it back one day."

Before that, he will try his best to keep everything for her, just like when she has not come back.

At this moment, the two stood facing each other, one holding the Sun Sword and the other holding the Moon Bow, looking at each other and smiling.

"So, Yaori Sword followed Xuan Ce's army to Luoyang this time. The reason you said to wait for three days is because your people and Li Xian arrived in Bianzhou today before you could bring it here?" Chang Suining Said: "That's why I blamed you wrongly, and I thought you were trying to keep it to yourself."

"It's not like I'm wrong." Cui Jing said frankly: "I can give you the sword at any time. I really want to take the opportunity to show off."

Seeing her like a puffer fish is quite novel.

"It doesn't matter. For the sake of changing my sword for me, I'll let you sell it once." Chang Suining looked very tolerant. She sat down in the chair with her sword in her arms and said in a casual tone: "Let's talk about it. Something else.”

Aware of her pleasure seeing the Sunshine Sword, the corners of Cui Jing's mouth also slightly curved.

He followed and sat down, and the next moment, she suddenly heard her asking: "Cui Jing, have we met before?"

What she said in the past naturally refers to her previous life.

Cui Jing: "...Probably not."

"Not ever?"

Cui Jing's tone was more certain this time: "No."

Chang Sui Ning still has a sense of doubt in her heart, but she sometimes feels like she has met him before.

She thought about it seriously, and said, "Maybe you were still young and didn't remember anything."

"..." Cui Jing heard the word "little" and silently sat up straighter, saying: "No, I have always had a hard time remembering it since I was a child."

Yeah?Seeing him felt uncomfortable for some reason, Chang Suining was quite suspicious that this person was hiding something, but he couldn't find evidence, and if he had seen it, he would have seen it, and he was not an enemy, so what was there to hide?

Chang Suining was puzzled, only to hear the man suddenly said in a dazed way: "Besides, I was never much younger than Your Highness."

"...Really?" Chang Suining was puzzled for a moment why he suddenly said this.

"Yes." Cui Jing calculated with her seriously: "When His Highness left early, he was only 23 years old, and Cui is also 23 years old now."

Calculated in this way, the two people's "living" ages and the length of years they have experienced are the same.

"No." Chang Suining also broke up with him seriously: "But I lived for a year last year."

Lived with the current identity for a year.

"..." Cui Jing was silent for a while, and said: "So His Highness only lived one year longer than me."

After a moment, he added: "But I have been precociously intelligent since I was a child. My grandfather often said that I am more than three years older than ordinary children."

Chang Suining was stunned, this was the first time she heard Cui Jing "boasting", and under this boasting, there was even more carelessness than his boasting.

So... he will add another three years old, is that what you mean?

She was a little unwilling to admit defeat and said: "To be honest, my teacher once said this to me, and I am much smarter than ordinary children."

He put on his authority again: "My teacher is Taifu Chu. He is very picky and rarely praises others. You should know that, right?"

"..." Cui Jing was completely speechless.

Seeing that he was defeated, Chang Sui Ning, who realized that he had not been able to control his competitive spirit, coughed lightly, and said, "I have never had a seniority discussion with you, and I have no intention of forcing you to call me sister, you are very special." I don't care what to do with this year and a half."

Cui Jing adjusted her mood: "... let's not talk about this."

In short, he really wasn't much younger than her.

Cui Jing emphasized again in his heart.

Chang Suining also opened up this weird topic of contention. She asked casually, "Speaking of which, aren't you afraid of me at all? I mean, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

Cui Jing shook his head: "I'm not Wei Shuyi."

Chang Suining: "...It seems that Wei Shilang is afraid of ghosts and everyone knows."

Cui Jing said again: "Besides, in my opinion, Your Highness is just Your Highness."

She is who she is, and does not have to be equated with any other identity.

And he had already prepared for this, or in other words, had longed for it - no one in this world should be afraid of a soul that he had been praying for for a long time before finally returning.

Chang Suining seemed to have thought of this too, she thought of what Wujue had said to her.

Cui Jing was the one who gave her a chance to be reborn, and it was he who found the jade of the statue for her.

"I have to thank you for the Heavenly Lady Tower." She made a pun, whether it was the creation of the Heavenly Lady statue or the fact that he had taken the risk to break the formation for her.

He led her back together with Wujue, but at the moment when he realized her return, he chose to stand by her side without hesitation, hiding the secret she didn't want to reveal for her together.

Cui Jing understood: "There is no need to say thank you for everything. Since I took this responsibility back then, I will have the beginning and the end."

Before she came back, he was guarding "her".

It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will be so in the future. This is his mission, or destiny.He has never believed in fate, only this fate, he willingly wants to admit it, and obey it all his life.

After a while, he said seriously: "Your Highness will have a thorny road ahead, and Cui is willing to walk with His Highness, and is willing to use the sword in his hand to smooth out some obstacles on the road ahead—"

Chang Suining couldn't help but look at him: "Cui Jing, do you know where I'm going?"

Cui Jing also looked at her sideways: "Anywhere."

"What if it turns out to be a dead end at the end?"

"Then it is even more necessary to go together." Cui Jing said: "It is more likely to turn it into a way of life."

If the road ahead is full of beautiful flowers, he doesn't have to hinder her from watching the flowers and the scenery.

Because of the thorny road ahead, she shouldn't be allowed to plead for the world alone, so he boldly wants to walk with her.

Chang Suining held the sword in his arms and looked at him quietly for a while, seeming to be thinking silently.

"I know what your Highness is following. This is not to help His Highness, but just because this is also the way that Cui wants to follow." He said: "Although Cui is not talented, he thinks that he will never be a burden to His Highness. Your Highness, just move forward with your heart, don't look back, I will keep up."

"The dignified general of Xuan Ce's army will not be a drag." Chang Suining came back to his senses and smiled: "I want to thank you for looking at me so highly."

Cui Jing didn't say anything for a while, just looked at her.

She hasn't answered his words directly.

Chang Suining did not say those ambiguous words, but said to him clearly: "You are a very good partner, and it is my wish that you are willing to walk with me, but I want to think about it again."

He is both capable and honest. The most rare thing is that, as he said, he has the same ambition as her - she has already sensed it without him saying anything.

With such a rare talent, it is said that she should dig out her head and pull people into her camp, but she has a concern that cannot be avoided, and she needs to wait and think about it.

Cui Jing could roughly think of where her concerns lie, but he didn't ask any further questions, and just nodded: "Okay, you can take your time to think about it, I'm not in a hurry."

Chang Suining smiled comfortably when he heard the words, it was really relaxing to get along with such a true gentleman.

No matter what happens in the future, whether the two can go together, she will at least regard each other as the most special friend.

"I have another question for you."

Cui Jing: "Let's ask."

"Wujue told me that you are the key to the matter of the Tiannv Tower." Chang Suining looked at him: "Has this so-called chance brought you any special abilities?"

Cui Jing was puzzled.

"For example... Is there any induction between you and me?"

Cui Jing thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "The opportunity is mysterious, and it doesn't really reflect it."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be hiding anything, Chang Suining was relieved, she was really worried about being read, or that he, like Wujue, would pay a heavy price for her rebirth.

But he still added: "That formation is an evil formation. If you have any strange perceptions in the future, remember to tell me in time, and we will find a solution together."

Sensing her desire to take responsibility to the end, Cui Jing nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll note it down."

At this moment, there was a faint movement from the corridor outside the hall.

Cui Jing turned his head to look outside the hall, and said, "There is one more thing to return to you tonight, and you should not be able to refuse this material."

Chang Sui Ning also looked out of the hall when he heard the words, and then stood up as if feeling something.

Cui Jing got up: "Let's go, let's meet."

Good night, sweet dreams
