At that time, the mortal world used the river as the boundary between the north and the south.

The Northern Dynasties were strong in military and horses but weak in agriculture. The Southern Dynasties were rich in resources but far inferior to the Northern Dynasties in military affairs. Therefore, they paid tribute year after year and became subjects year after year.

The Emperor of the Southern Dynasties was cowardly and affectionate, but for some reason, he gave birth to a son who loved to stir up trouble — Prince Yi. On the day Xufeng was born, the inner court was filled with hundreds of birds. It was like a fairyland. Thus, Prince Yi received the name Xufeng.

Because of this extraordinary birth, rumors about Prince Yi spread like wildfire. This forced the Empress's legitimate son to want to exterminate him.

The Emperor was soft-hearted and couldn't resist pillow talk. In addition, most of the people outside the court were relatives of the Empress. Not long after, Prince Yi's birth mother was banished to the Cold Palace. Not long after, she hanged herself. From then on, Prince Yi received the name of having a hard life that brought bad luck to his mother.

The Emperor was afraid that he would be burdened by him, so he moved Prince Yi out of the inner court under the pretext of accumulating good fortune for him. However, he sent him to the Taoist temple to cultivate until he was twenty years old before he was allowed to return to the palace.

The day Xufeng returned to the palace was the day to collect his scholars.

He walked on the path to meet the Emperor and met a group of scholars from afar. When they saw him coming, they all stopped and moved to the side of the path.

However, among the hundreds and thousands of people, His Highness Prince Yi only saw one of them. Her clothes were as white as snow, her facial features were picturesque, and she was as graceful as a fairy who had left the world. Xufeng only felt that she was very familiar.

He immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Who is that?" He asked the eunuch who was leading the way.

The eunuch stared blankly for a moment before replying knowingly, "That is the Grand Commandant's youngest son. His courtesy name is Runyu. There has always been a saying in the capital — a drop of Runyu's tear is a star in the sky. This is the youngest son."

"What do you mean?" Xufeng was obviously very interested in him.

The eunuch then said, "Your Highness may not know, but that young master unfortunately lost his mother when he was eighteen years old. His eyes were red all the way from Dong Yang Gate to Mount Zhong, but he did not shed a tear in front of others.

After the burial, the crowd dispersed, but he didn't leave for a long time. He knelt for an entire day and night, crying his heart out.

He actually fainted early the next morning and was carried back just now. "

"I didn't expect him to be so stubborn."

"Speaking of which, his background is quite pitiful. He was brought back to the Grand Commandant's residence by his official mother when he was a child and was separated from his birth mother. Later on, he finally found his birth mother after much searching. Unfortunately, his birth mother was unlucky. She didn't even enjoy a few days of family happiness before she died."

"In that case, he and I are in the same boat."

Hearing His Highness Prince Yi's words, the eunuch suddenly felt that he had said something wrong and immediately shut his mouth.

From afar, the main character of their discussion seemed to have sensed something and raised his head to look at Xufeng.

For a moment, their eyes met. The distance between them was so close that ten thousand years passed in a glance.

The next day, Xufeng specially sent an invitation to the Grand Commandant's young master to meet him. When he saw Run Yu, his first sentence was to ask him, "Does young master remember anything?"

Run Yu stared at him and unconsciously frowned slightly. After a long time, he shook his head.

"Forgive me for not understanding what Your Highness means."

Xufeng sighed exaggeratedly, "Twelve years ago, in Qing Xin Temple, did young master save a child?" He tiptoed, tilted his head, and propped his chin up, waiting for the other person's expression of realization.

Run Yu had an impression of His Highness Prince Yi, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't associate the child who had a high fever with pimples and talked in his sleep with this unconventional His Highness Prince Yi.

"How did Your Highness end up in that state?"

"Father Emperor left me in that Taoist temple to fend for myself. In addition, there were people who saw me as a thorn in their side, so I could only end up like that.

At that time, if young master wasn't kind enough to invite a doctor to treat me, I'm afraid I would have died.

His Highness Prince Yi is extremely grateful for saving my life. I don't know how young master wants me to repay this kindness? "When His Highness Prince Yi said these words, he was unable to contain his joy.

Run Yu smiled, "Although Your Highness is indebted to saving your life, to me, it's just a matter of lifting a finger.

Things in this world have always been so unfair. Why should Your Highness care? "

"But I'm a person who will repay kindness and take revenge. If young master doesn't say it clearly, how can I not care?"

This sentence was slightly frivolous, but Xufeng said it very sincerely. Run Yu couldn't get angry, so he said, "If that's the case, I don't know if His Highness Prince Yi dares to fulfill my promise?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

After Xufeng finished speaking, he reached out his hand and high-fived Run Yu.

"In the future, if young master has any orders, Xufeng will do it even if I have to die ten thousand times!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually seized the opportunity to grasp the other party's hand tightly, and then he planted a kiss on the palm of the other party's hand. It shocked the usually carefree Young Master to the point he instantly turned into a stone statue and was at a loss for what to do.

From then on, there was no one in the capital who didn't know that His Highness Prince Yi was lustful, and the person he pursued was the famous young master Run Yu in the capital.

No matter how Run Yu refused, His Highness Prince Yi seemed to have been born with a copper skin and an iron face. He lost every battle, lost every battle, and fought every battle. He was extremely persistent.

For example, Run Yu loved calligraphy and painting, so Xufeng asked for rare treasures for his daughter. Run Yu was good at playing chess, so Xufeng searched for all kinds of famous books. Run Yu loved tea, so Prince Yi traveled a thousand miles for him.

In short, he catered to his interests and did everything he could.

At first, these treasures couldn't even enter the gates of the Grand Commandant's residence. Later on, Xufeng learned to be smart. He didn't say that he was giving them to Run Yu, but only said that the Grand Commandant was a pillar of the country and deserved such a big gift.

In the name of various festivals or the Grand Commandant's or Old Madame's birthday, even if it was a mountain of gold and silver, as long as he could put it down, Xufeng would be able to bring it over for him.

As a result, Run Yu didn't even have the chance to refuse.

Naturally, Run Yu wouldn't accept his gift for nothing. He would definitely find a treasure of equal value and send it back to Prince Yi's residence in the name of his father.

However, as time passed, he was only a scholar born of a concubine. How could he compare to Prince Yi's wealth?

In the end, Run Yu had no choice but to solemnly visit Prince Yi to discuss the matter.

"This one's strength is weak, so it's naturally difficult for this one to fight against His Highness Prince Yi.

If Your Highness insists on humiliating me, Run Yu may not be talented, but for the sake of my reputation, I'm not afraid to fight to the death. "

Xufeng was stunned.

He heard Run Yu continue, "And if His Highness Prince Yi doesn't care about this one's insignificant life, then this one also has a question to ask Your Highness. All the princes have the same fiefdom, so why does Your Highness squander money like it's water, while the others are strapped for cash?

According to Your Highness's squandering, even if there were twice as many gold mines in Baiyue, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to mine. If Your Highness doesn't care about this one's life, then that's what this one should do. However, if Your Highness's ambitions aren't careful and there are unforeseen events, then it's not worth it. "

Only then did Xufeng realize that this seemingly gentle and harmless Run Yu, who actually restrained his sharpness, wasn't someone to be trifled with. From then on, he put away his frivolous heart and treated Run Yu with respect. As time passed, he became close friends with Run Yu.

In the blink of an eye, many years had passed. Run Yu was outstanding in terms of both talent and family background, and he naturally became one of the nine ministers.

Xufeng wasn't completely useless.

He was talented in the art of war, and by chance, he led his troops to defend against the Northern Dynasties going down south. He stopped 100 thousand troops in front of the river, and his prestige in the army soared.

However, because of this, the Crown Prince became even more fearful.

In another year, the Northern Dynasties wanted to go down south and swallow up the land. Xufeng, who was in charge of one side of the army, led his troops to resist.

Both sides fought at the mouth of the river for many months, and both sides were exhausted. As a result, the Northern Dynasties once again proposed peace talks.

Run Yu was sent out as the peace envoy, but at that moment, there was another change. The Northern Dynasties suddenly changed their mind, giving up on the peace talks and launching a sneak attack at the mouth of the river.

Who knows where they got a report that Prince Yi had disappeared.

Losing their general at the front, their morale took a hit. The Northern Dynasties thought that they would be able to take down the river, but they didn't expect Prince Yi to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Who knew where he got more troops to wipe out the sneak attack.

The leader of the Northern Dynasties wanted to vent his anger on the envoy, but the envoy was nowhere to be found.

He followed the trail to the riverside and saw the white-robed Immortal cupping his hands on a small boat in the distance.

"Thank you for taking care of Zhou Zhi these few days. However, after seeing you off for a thousand miles, we have to part in the end. Please stay, let's meet again if fate allows."

It seemed like it was too late to chase.

That small boat returned to the south shore, and Xufeng was waiting on the shore.

When he saw Run Yu, he wasn't happy at all. Instead, he was furious.

"If I knew that you were going to personally head over, I definitely wouldn't have agreed to your suggestion!"

It seemed like the two of them had agreed on this long ago.

The Northern Dynasties was confident that they had a lot of troops, and asking for peace was just a matter of breathing space. Why not purposely act weak and act like they were sincere to make them let down their guard?

Seeing Xufeng worry about his safety, Run Yu smiled and held his hands for the first time.

"Didn't I come back safely?

If Your Highness still wants to argue with me, then you are not a gentleman. "

Xu Feng naturally couldn't do anything to him. However, after experiencing such danger and reuniting, the feelings that had been hidden in the past were once again aroused. At that moment, she actually ignored the presence of the three armies and hugged Yun Yu tightly in front of everyone.

Run Yu instinctively wanted to break free, but Xufeng tightly held onto his arm, making it hard for him to move.

The person in front of him who had returned from the battlefield was covered in dirt and blood. His hair was messy, but his sincerity couldn't be hidden. Run Yu's heart suddenly turned soft.

He held Xufeng's cheeks and kissed him without any hesitation.

Xufeng obviously didn't expect him to react, opening his eyes wide in shock. However, he saw a tinge of surprise in Run Yu's eyes. He also saw an unwavering love — so it wasn't just his own wishful thinking.
