.

Morning, Taiping Village.

Dozens of horses rushed over in golden sunlight, dragging out a long shadow, extending to the distant snake-like twist.

The first one was the white horse and blue shirt, with eyebrows like a knife, which was Xiao Buyi. Beside him were bearded guests with beards and stubble, as well as two brothers Asu and Zhou Muru. Sun Shaofang followed with the imperial guards. Although no one could tell who protected along the way, this was their duty after all. Of course, Liu Jiangyuan, the riding leader, was also there. Yuan Lan and his daughter were following behind, and the horsemanship was not bad. Yuan Qiaoxi rarely rode horses on weekdays, and it was a bit hard to run, but she just stared at the generous back in front of her.

Yuan Lan glanced at her daughter's gaze, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Buyi walked through this road and was familiar with it when he came back again, but when he was not far from Taiping Village, he actually slowed down his horse speed, and the bearded guest also frowned early.

"Boss, what's wrong? Are you afraid of being close to home?" A Rue smiled and made a verse of Yawen, "Pei Bei will be fine." He finished speaking, and his smile was already stiff on his face.

The village in the distance is no longer a village, it looks more like a pile of ruins. There are broken walls everywhere, desolate, and it looks like it has been set on fire.

Xiao Buyi stood there for a moment, riding his horse and running towards the east of the village. With the horseman's bearded horse, he couldn't catch up with it. Everyone looked at each other and had concerns in their eyes. Taiping Village has been peaceful for many years, but now it is afraid it will be a catastrophe.

Everyone rushed to the east of the village, but found that the road was full of desolation and there was no trace of people on the road. The vast Taiping Village turned into a dead village.

When everyone arrived at the east of the village, they found two horses erecting outside the yard. Zhou Muru and the others knew that this was the residence of Doctor Le, so they jumped off the horse first.

Half of the courtyard wall had collapsed, and the door had been burned out long ago, leaving only a black entrance, like a monster.

Everyone was worried, knowing that this Taiping Village was mostly affected by the disaster, and Doctor Leshen's family was not spared. Xiao Buyi's loud shout had already come from the hospital, with anxiety, "Pei Bei..."

"Dad, what's wrong?" Yuan Qiaoxi asked timidly.

Yuan Lan frowned. "Is it because the thieves and thieves robbed the village?"

Yuan Qiaoxi shivered, but she had already followed Yuan Lan into the courtyard. She said it was the courtyard, but it had turned into scorched earth. Under a collapsed house, Xiao Buyi squatted on the ground, roared and rolled her hands. The collapsed place had been opened, and there was no one under the collapsed house.

"Brother Xiao, don't worry. Sister Pei Bei is a good person and a heavenly person. Maybe it will be fine." Yuan Qiaoxi could only comfort her. Seeing Xiao Buyi's hands as black as charcoal, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"How do you know it's okay?" Xiao Buyi stood up suddenly, turned his head and shouted sternly.

Yuan Qiaoxi was shocked. She saw Xiao Buyi's eyes red and her mouth twitching. She couldn't help but take a step back, her face was pale, and she didn't know what to say.

One hand was pressed on Xiao Buyi's shoulder. Xiao Buyi turned his head and looked over. Seeing the bearded guest's reproachful gaze, he took a long breath and said, "Qiaoxi, I'm sorry."

As soon as he said that he knew something was wrong, just because he was concerned, he was confused. Yuan Qiaoxi was just comforting him and was scolded by him. That was something unprecedented.

When he heard Xiao Buyi apologize immediately, Yuan Qiaoxi bit her lip and shook her head and said, "Brother Xiao, I don't have to say sorry, it's important for us to go find my sister."

"I just checked the nearby courtyard and found that there was no dead person in the village." The bearded guest showed relief in his eyes, thinking that although Xiao Buyi was in a hurry, he could still control his emotions. He could do big things based on this point alone.

You should know that the experienced master of the bearded guest knew that at this time, anxiety not only did not work at all, but sometimes it would have a counterproductive effect. When Xiao Buyi was shouting, he had already gone out to look for clues.

"What does big brother mean?" Xiao Buyi's mind was blank.

"This means that when the bandits came to loot, the people in the village were prepared." The bearded guest pondered: "They might have predicted that the bandits would come to loot the village, and they might have evaded early. Otherwise, how could there be bandits looting the village, and there was no damage in the village. The bandits might not see the villagers, and then burned the village in anger."

Xiao Buyi woke up and recalled that he had no trace of people along the way. He knew that the bearded guest had always been aimless, and he couldn't help but hoped that he would increase his mind, "Where will they hide?"

After Xiao Buyi asked, some Hao Ran, and the bearded guest patted Xiao Buyi on the shoulder and comforted him: "Buyi, no matter what, anxiety cannot solve any problem, and it will only make it more difficult for you to solve the problem. You have always been calm in this aspect before. Now, although Pei Bei's whereabouts are unknown, I know you are very impatient, but you need to be calmer at this time. Other people's concern cannot be a reason for you to scold."

Xiao Buyi knew the meaning of the bearded guest, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. The bearded guest said it was good. People often hurt people, but people often care about themselves. If they don't care, how could the harm come about?

Looking at Yuan Qiaoxi apologetically, seeing her looking at her timidly, Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly and said, "Just..."

"Where will people in a village hide?" Yuan Qiaoxi changed the topic.

Xiao Buyi forced himself to calm down, turned his head and looked into the distance, his expression slightly moved, "If they wanted to hide, would they go to the mountains?"

The bearded guest nodded, "I guess so too. Buyi, we are divided into four teams, Sun Shaofang leads a team, Asu Zhou Muru leads another team, you, I have good skills, the search range is faster, and I search in four directions. Whenever there are clues and news, I will immediately turn back here to set fire as a sign. Brother Yuan and Qiaoxi stay here to wait, in case Pei Bei and Doctor Le miss it when they come back."

Everyone agreed and acted immediately, but Yuan Lan thanked Qiuyan for saving face for himself. Sometimes he was very capable, but based on the large number of people, but it was indeed difficult for him to do it alone. Qiuyan arranged tasks for him, but did what he could do and did not lose his face. He was really a very careful person.

When the bearded guest and others quickly scattered and looked for him, Yuan Lan said, "Qiaoxi. You performed very well. It is true that the common man shouldn't have gotten angry with you just now, but men always have to have a little temper."

"Dad, don't mention what happened just now," Yuan Qiaoxi shook her head and said, "Brother Xiao is so nervous when she likes her sister. In fact, I'm just thinking that a man is anxious about a woman, that's a happy thing for a woman."

She walked around the courtyard and saw that the fire was burning everywhere. She said in confusion: "Dad. I think if Sister Pei knew that Brother Xiao would come, she would leave some clues if she wanted to go out to take shelter. If there were clues, the clues should be in this courtyard."

Yuan Lan was excited and nodded, "No, the girl is very careful and can think of this. Buyi forgot to search clues, and he has nothing to do with us. Whether there are any clues or not, we always have to look for them."

**

Xiao Buyi didn't know if what Quyanren said was correct, but he hoped that his analysis would be accurate this time.

When he rode out of the village in the moonlight, he ran straight to the mountain where Pei Bei collected herbs. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw the lush trees. It was greener than when he left, but things changed. The beauty was already insignificant, and he couldn't help feeling lost.

Fortunately, he suffered many hardships and allowed the moonlight to be

Cao, but he ran towards the mountain in one breath.

When he didn't learn the Yijin Jing, he had excellent endurance. After learning the Yijin Jing, his breath was even longer and he rarely felt tired. He ran all the way up the mountain, his eyes kept scanning like lightning, for fear that something had been leaked.

Suddenly, Xiao Buyi ran to a large rock halfway up the mountain. The big stone was more than half a person high and was quite smooth. He reached out and found that there was no dust. It seemed that someone had often sat there. Xiao Buyi's heart moved and looked around. He saw that the green mountains were still there and there was no trace of people. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken and shouted loudly: "Pei Bei, Pei Bei..."

He shouted with luck, and the sound went away. The sound of the valley in the distance was endless, as if the lingering lovesickness was hard to let go. But when the sound finally disappeared, there was no change around him.

Xiao Buyi stopped stopping and walked up the mountain. When he reached the top of the mountain, he looked up and saw that Taiping Village was on his left hand, which was dark and full of desolation. However, there were endless mountains on his right hand, which were connected to the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, like endless.

Xiao Buyi pondered for a moment and ran to the distance. Along the way, he just shouted Pei Bei's name and searched carefully. I don't know how far I had been, but Xiao Buyi felt dry and dry. Then he stopped, found a stream, scooped up water and took a sip of it. He saw himself in the river, his eyebrows were frowning, and his face was covered with water, as if he was sad inside.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered a sentence from his time in his mind. When tears flowed down, he realized that separation was another way of understanding!

He always thought that this was a young man who didn't know the taste of sorrow, and he forced to say sorrow in order to write new poems, but when he vaguely felt that he would never see Pei Bei again in his life, he realized that in his mind, the love that Pei Bei gave him was so heavy.

When he stood up slowly, Xiao Buyi straightened his back. The trees ahead were dense and endless, but his search would never stop.

At dusk, the sunset is setting, and the sunset is in the sky. Although Xiao Buyi does not want to give up searching, he can only turn back. After all, he is not the only one looking for it. No matter whether he finds it or not, he has to turn around and see the movements of others. With this idea, Xiao Buyi ran to the top of the mountain again, raised his eyes to the bottom of the mountain, and his heart was shocked.

There was a flash of fire in the direction of Taiping Village. It was vaguely at the east end of the village, and to the east of the village was the location of Doctor Le. Could it be that they had found Pei Bei?

Xiao Buyi thought about it and did not hesitate anymore, and then let his feet go to the bottom of the mountain. When he was running halfway up the mountain, he subconsciously looked at the big rock, turned his head and ran out several feet, and suddenly stopped.

In my impression, the big stone is not that tall, and in common sense, the big stone will not move either. But just as he turned his head and glanced, the big stone grew taller and the big stone was moving.

Xiao Buyi's body was a little stiff at that moment, not because of fear, but because of being ecstatic. He slowly turned around, jumped over in a flash, and asked a little hesitantly: "Pei Bei?"

The big stone did not get taller, but there was a person sitting on the big stone at some point.

The man had tears in the corner of his eyes, a smile on his lips, and he whispered, "Brother Xiao..." She still looked very weak, but she was a little better after all.

When Xiao Buyi came over, he saw that the other party was dressed in thick clothes and linen. He was dressed in women's clothes, with a pale face and straight nose. He couldn't help but hesitate. When he heard the other party say Brother Xiao, he was no different from Pei Bei. In surprise, he stretched out his arms and hugged Pei Bei and said, "Pei Bei, it's you."

Pei Bei also greeted Xiao Buyi with her arms. She hugged Xiao Buyi and called softly again, "Brother Xiao..." She just called Brother Xiao twice, but it was like calling her for a lifetime. It was just because she had been calling her in her dreams all day long.

"You're not, as long as you're fine." Xiao Buyi let out a long sigh, warm jade and fragrant in his arms, but he didn't forget to ask. "What the hell is going on?"

"Actually, when you called me in the afternoon, I had heard it. I thought I was dreaming, but when I was sure I was not dreaming, I came to find you." Pei Bei looked at Xiao Buyi, her eyes full of tenderness, "But when I arrived here, you would have walked away long ago."

Xiao Buyi cursed himself a little confused and did not consider this issue. "You said you are nearby?"

Pei Bei smiled and nodded. "Yes, my stupid brother. Haven't you seen my message?"

Xiao Buyi was stunned, "Where did you leave a message?" Suddenly, something came to mind, "Have you been waiting here since the afternoon?"

Pei Bei snuggled gently in Xiao Buyi's arms, "Aren't you looking for me all the time? Brother Xiao, thank you."

Xiao Buyi couldn't help feeling heartbroken when she heard her waiting for a long time, "Bier, who burned the village? You live nearby? Why didn't I find it?"

He asked several questions in a row, but stared at the flames in the east of the village, and was alert, if Pei Bei was here, who was setting the fire? Why did he ignite the fire?

"It's the hand of the supreme king Lu Mingyue." Pei Bei pursed her lips, full of hatred. When she looked at Xiao Buyi, she turned to tenderness. "Although Taiping Village is like a paradise, it seems that the news is very well-informed. The village said that after Lu Mingyue was defeated by Zhang Xutuo in Qi County, he went south and soon gathered tens of thousands of people. Zhang Xutuo chased her and defeated Lu Mingyue in Dongping County. Lu Mingyue had no choice but to lead the remaining troops south again, burning, killing and plundering all the way, doing all the evil. The village was afraid that it would be affected and let the villagers hide in the mountains. The villagers were not here, but they were hidden in the opposite mountains.

If Yangzhou goes well, it will probably be a long time to go back recently, so I simply stayed in the cave in this mountain and waited for you. Doctor Le agreed, saying that I have made some progress recently. As long as I don’t have any air, my daily life should be fine. There are no wild animals nearby, so there is no danger in my residence. The cave is relatively secret, so of course I won’t be able to find it casually. After I came out, I heard your cry and I had reached the other end of the mountain. I don’t have the strength to rush you, and I can’t catch you, so I just wait here, for fear of missing it again. Fortunately, I saw Brother Xiao again."

When she said this, her eyes were full of smiles, but her cheeks were covered with tears, as if they were pear blossoms after the rain, as if they were bright and bright. Pei Bei, who had removed men's clothing, had no characteristics of a small beard. Her face might be pale, her lips might be a little thin, but her eyebrows were like the crescent moon in the sky, curved and sweet, her eyes were bright and dark, and she was very savored. The silver moonlight fell and draped on Pei Bei, making her look beautiful and refined like a snow-stuffed flower tree.

"Why are you crying? It's okay." Xiao Buyi used her sleeve to wipe away Pei Bei's tears, and it was natural. In his eyes, Pei Bei's beauty could not match her deep affection.

"Sometimes, happy people will cry." Pei Bei smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, I cried happily. I was so scared when I sat on the stone. I was just afraid that we would miss it this time and see it again. I saw that there was fire at the foot of the mountain, and I didn't know what was going on. I wanted to find you, but I was afraid of missing it, so I hesitated to this time."

Xiao Buyi's expression changed slightly, "Pei Bei, follow me down the mountain to see." He didn't want Pei Bei to think too much, so he briefly told the matter of the fire, slowly squatted down, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to think too much, I'll solve everything, Beier, I'll carry you down the mountain."

Pei Bei leaned gently on Xiao Buyi's body and suddenly kissed the back of his neck, sweet and sweet

She suddenly realized that sometimes, it is a blessing everywhere if she doesn't think about anything, as long as her beloved is there.

Xiao Buyi carried Pei Bei on his back and rushed down the mountainside. With a long roar, the moonlight in the dark rushed out like lightning. Xiao Buyi carried Pei Bei on his back and flew on his horse, and he was as easy as a god.

He rode on the horse and felt relieved, thinking that even if there were thousands of troops and horses in front of him, the moonlight would be fine. He rode his horse toward the village, and only saw the fire approaching. It was the direction of Leshen Medical Courtyard.

Xiao Buyi slowed down and rushed towards that direction with some alertness. A bunch of fires were burning on the road in front of Doctor Le's courtyard. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, a slender body flashed from the other end of the fire and shouted in surprise: "Brother Xiao, I know where Sister Pei is. She seems to be there, as if she is..."

Seeing Xiao Buyi turning over immediately, there was a woman sitting on the horse's back, looking at him with a look of water. Yuan Qiaoxi's dusty face became surprised and asked, "You are Sister Pei, right?"

**

Jinyang Palace. Yang Guang issued an edict to build the construction in the third year of Daye. The person who built the construction was Zhang Heng, the censor at that time. Zhang Heng made suggestions for Yang Guang as the throne, and his contribution was comparable to Yang Suyu and Wen Shu. When Yang Guang climbed the Taihang Mountains, he ordered people to open a road from Taihang Mountain to Zhang Heng's house for 90 miles, which shows his favor for Zhang Heng.

But Zhang Heng is no longer here, and Jinyang Palace is still towering, ignoring the warmth and warmth of the world.

There was also a man carrying wine gourds in Jinyang Palace.

The man looked over forty years old and his eyes were dull. He looked at the distant city walls and the Jinyang Palace on this side. He sighed softly and said, "It's so poor that he has lived in vain."

The man sighed again with a complaint. It was obviously the kind of person who was not satisfied. Because no matter what, from his clothes, behavior, from the wine gourd in his hand, and the fine wine inside the wine gourd, he was not considered a poor person.

A truly poor person will never have enough wine to drink.

He took a few more mouthfuls, stood up staggeringly, muttering to himself, "It's still early, I can go back and take a few bets." Before the man could walk away, he walked towards him and smiled, "Why is Mr. Pei so depressed?"
