"Confidant"

Back then in Xiandu, there were many and mixed rumors about the Spirit King and Tiansu.

Some people say they are close and are rare confidants. This is probably because Tiansu received the most visitors in Spring Breeze, and the most frequent visitor under the south window, besides Tiansu himself, was the Spirit King.

Others say that their temperaments are mutually exclusive and often contradict each other. This is probably because they always find two excuses when they communicate, and these excuses are always "apology".

King Ling is not often in Xiandu, and Tiansu does not chat with people. There are very few rumors that fall into their ears, and they all laugh when they hear it.

As for those subtle, tugging details, only they themselves know.

Perhaps because the calamity period was too cold, Wu Xingxue dreamed of a certain winter...

He returned from the world with the boy, and found a row of long ice branches hanging on the eaves and window lattices of the spring breeze.

In fact, immortals are not divided into four seasons. What kind of scenery is in the front and back of each Yuyao Palace courtyard depends on the preferences of the owner of the Yao Palace. Sitting in the spring breeze is a rare corner of Xiandu, because it is the same color as the four seasons in the world. There are wind, frost, rain and snow, and there are sunny days.

At that time, it happened to be the coldest year in the world, so sitting in the spring breeze, the Yuyao Palace became the Ice Palace.

The two little boys let out a "ho" and ran over, stomping their feet and rubbing their hands, and at the same time they couldn't help but reach for the jade branches. After he was done, he held Lishasha in his hands and panted, his hands were turned back and forth but he didn't let go. Seeing Wu Xingxue crying and laughing, he asked, "What's wrong with you two?"

The little boys explained: "My lord, it has frozen hands, but it looks good."

Frozen people are really frozen people, but this scene with the Yunfu Yao Palace in Xiandu is really pleasing to the eye.

One of the little boys muttered, "I don't know when Lord Tiansu will come today. This thing is gone after three or two smashes. If you come late, you won't be able to see it."

Wu Xingxue said: "Who told you that he is coming today."

The little boy wondered: "Isn't it always like this?"

Wu Xingxue glanced at the top of his head and said nothing.

I don't know since when, whenever Wu Xingxue returned to Xiandu, the first person he saw was always Xiao Fuxuan.

This seems to have become a self-evident habit, but Tong Yanwuji can't help but click it a few times.

Another little boy put his sleeves over his hands and recalled solemnly: "Besides, the adults said last time, when we sit in the spring breeze and hang the ice branches, we will set up a good wine and wait for the night to come and see."

Wu Xingxue actually remembered, but still grabbed the boy's bun and said, "Which time."

The little boy murmured, "Oh, it was the last time."

"I can't remember the business, but this kind of thing comes right away." Wu Xingxue said lazily.

The little boy was wronged, humming, but still thinking about whether Tiansu could see Bingzhi.

The older boy replied, "Don't hum, look at it. Didn't the fairy envoy of Lingtai just say it? Lord Tiansu happened to be in Xiandu these few days. Our Lord is back, he must be there in a while."

Wu Xingxue shrouded his robe, and stomped into the house, but said, "Two little things, how come there must be so many."

The little boy kept talking and his feet didn't stop. It may be that he hasn't returned to Xiandu for a while, and some people are crazy. The adults in his family didn't say a word, and the two little things had already put their arms around the jug and set up the cups.

In the end, everything was arranged, but was interrupted by an unexpected guest.

Wu Xingxue couldn't remember what happened that day, only Sang Feng, Menggu, and Orge, who was in charge of the Xuechi area at that time, came to sit in the spring breeze.

It was originally talking about things, but for some reason, the conversation grew, especially with the broken mouth of Sang Feng, who couldn't stop for a moment.

King Ling seldom neglected visitors, and the wine was just there, there was no reason to just show it and not drink it.

So there was scenery and wine, and several immortal friends were very interested. They stayed for most of the day, chatting from noon to night.

The spring breeze that day was in sync with the human world, and there was some snow at night. Rao is an immortal who has seen various scenes in the world, and it is inevitable that he will be moved. Meng Gu and Orge took advantage of the wine and leaned forward in the snow, breaking a few ice branches.

Sang Feng was holding the jug at the time and said, "What Yun He said is true, good wine should be treated to beautiful women."

When he said this, King Ling didn't really pay much attention.

Because when the snow fell just now, he vaguely heard a movement. It was as if someone had landed on a high eaves, leaning on the corner of the eaves holding the sword and looked here quietly for a while, and after Sang Feng finished saying those words, he turned and left.

In the whole sitting in the spring breeze, except for Wu Xingxue, no one seemed to notice.

Even himself, for a moment wondered if it was the illusion of drinking.

But whether it was or not, the spirit king was absent-minded after drinking this wine, as if he was scratched by something lightly.

He couldn't remember when Sang Feng and the others left. I just remember that after the guests left, I sat in the deep silence in the spring breeze. The little boy was tidying up with magic, and the cups were clinking.

After listening to it for a while, Wu Xingxue couldn't calm down, suddenly got up and went out along the window lattice.

"Where are you going, my lord?" the little boy asked in the room.

"Sober up, don't follow." He replied casually, and disappeared into the night.

What he said was sobering up, and he woke up to Xiao Fuxuan's realm after three falls.

He saw lights on under the south window, little boys standing or sitting cross-legged, not at all disciplined, yawning and muttering in twos and threes, going in and out occasionally, but there was no sign of their master in the main house.

Wu Xingxue

When I saw people in the house, I subconsciously looked at the highest eaves.

Sure enough, he saw a figure sitting on the eaves, with one leg bent, his elbow resting on his knee, and his sword loosely held in his hand.

Under the south window is the place where the evil spirit of Xiandu is most prosperous, and the position of the eaves is a point. Sometimes Tiansu will sit and concentrate on that point, suppressing the evil spirit.

Generally speaking, at this time, it is best not to try to disturb, it will arouse the instinctive vigilance.

But the Spirit King at the moment was restless and forgot about this.

He stepped on it, landed lightly on the high sloping eaves, bent down and stretched out his hand to pat Tiansu's shoulder.

The result is that the next moment is spinning!

His outstretched hand was grabbed by Xiao Fuxuan, and he turned back and pressed——

When he came back to his senses, he was already pressed against the eaves, Tiansu's sword was unsheathed in just a moment, and the tip of the sword was almost wedged into the jade tile against him.

Xiao Fuxuan knelt on the ground with his sword in his hand, looking down at him, his narrow eyes blinked for a while before regaining clarity.

His thin lips moved, but he did not speak. After a while, he whispered, "Why are you here?"

The sword was still wedged to one side, and he was still half-kneeling, not letting go. The sword qi was still circulating, but it didn't get closer to Wu Xingxue.

And Wu Xingxue didn't break free. After a while, he said, "I'll see what Lord Tiansu is doing, and have you been to any place just now."

Xiao Fuxuan looked at him with half drooping eyes: "For example."

Wu Xingxue: "...For example, sitting in the spring breeze."

Xiao Fuxuan didn't answer, there was a fine light in his long eyes.

It's almost some sort of default.

By default, he went to sit in the spring breeze, and by default he heard Sang Feng's phrase "wine for beautiful women", and by default he left again...

The high eaves under the south window fell into a long and ambiguous silence, like some kind of confrontation.

After a while, Xiao Fuxuan gave a low "um" and admitted, "I went to sit in the spring breeze, I was not very happy, and came back again."

Wu Xingxue's heart was slightly scratched again.

He looked at the man, and said in a ghostly manner, "Xiao Fuxuan, my confidant will not be unhappy because of such a thing."

Xiao Fuxuan's eyes swept across Wu Xingxue's face, and after a while, he said solemnly, "My confidant really doesn't."

After he finished speaking, he looked into Wu Xingxue's eyes again and said softly, "So why did King Ling come here?"

Wu Xingxue's clasped fingers moved, and the gap between his fingers almost rubbed against the other's. He blinked and said, "Come to coax people."
