Xie Tingzhou's eyes fell on the door.
He couldn't see her, but he could hear her footsteps, hear her putting things down in front of the door, and hear her choking.
I also heard the voice: Sorry, I can't make a dodder flower.
Xie Tingzhou didn't know how long he sat there before he opened the door.
On the ground is a brocade box, and inside the box is a purse, a purse with poor stitching.
It can be seen that she has embroidered very carefully, but the stitching is still very poor. In some places, she has taken it apart and re-embroidered it, and the needle holes have been stretched a bit.
Xie Tingzhou seemed to see that dashing girl, her head hanging down under the night light, silently doing the job of being a prostitute that she was not good at.
Her neck was very slender and curved beautifully under the lamp, like a moon rising in the sky.
……
Shen Yu left the capital with the imperial edict, accompanied by five thousand soldiers and horses.
How could the common people understand that when they see the officers and soldiers, they feel that there is going to be another war? Once a war breaks out, the people will not be able to survive.
The horse's hooves stirred up dust and smoke, and Shen Yu beat the horse in front.
This was Shen Yu's first time leading an army alone. After all, she would follow the same path that her father and brother took.
She looked towards the hill where the two of them were buried. The morning mist lingered in the mountains, the blue sky was clear, and there was an unmistakable desolation among the floating white clouds.
Suddenly a clear chirp of Haidongqing came from the sky.
Shen Yu looked back and saw Haidongqing spreading its wings in the blue sky, roaring towards him and hovering above his head, causing many soldiers to look up.
It's Bai Yu!
Shen Yu laughed, "Are you here to see me off?"
After she asked this question, a joy that she dared not touch suddenly arose in her heart.
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned the horse's head and continued moving forward, galloping in the opposite direction.
The strong wind blew against her face, and she hit the horse very fast. After running for three miles, her speed became slower and slower, and finally stopped slowly.
The road back was empty and uninhabited.
She smiled mockingly to herself. After all, she was overthinking it. She thought he would at least come to say goodbye.
Shen Yu swallowed the disappointment in her throat, turned the horse's head, and returned along the road she had just walked.
When I came, I was full of joy, but when I left, I was dejected.
Ta-da-ta-da-
There seemed to be the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Shen Yu didn't dare to look back, fearing that the joy would be in vain again.
Bai Yu cried out again, like a reminder.
Shen Yu slowly turned back.
Xie Tingzhou rode her horse and whipped her whip, facing the long hunting wind, and came from the end of the ancient road. Behind her was the most beautiful spring light she had ever seen in her life.
Shen Yu watched him getting closer and closer, when suddenly there was a weight on her body, and she was covered by his cloak.
Xie Tingzhou followed her in, leaned forward and grabbed her waist, lowered his head and kissed her.
He chased her for fifty miles, knowing that he could catch up with her as long as he kept chasing her, but he was still flustered, as if he would be even more uncomfortable if he was one step slower.
It was only when I was in my arms again that I felt at ease.
Shen Yu felt something was stuffed into her hand, which was slightly heavy. She wanted to see it, but Xie Tingzhou held her wrist tightly and prevented her from seeing it.
The cloak seemed to isolate everything from the outside world, and she could smell his breath inside.
Xie Tingzhou moved his lips, pressed it against her forehead, and said warmly: "The heart has a high platform, which attracts the phoenix to rest there. Auntie, you are not a dodder flower, you are the luan bird in my heart."
It turned out that he had thought wrong all the time. He always thought that having her under his wings was the only way to feel at ease.
He was angry that she always wanted to go out, angry that she could never stop for him. Last night, he suddenly realized that he could not trap her.
That tenacious girl who was alone, confused, and groping along the way, could actually set up such a wonderful situation on her own.
He suddenly realized that she no longer seemed to need him, and he had never felt so out of control.
It was like she was about to fly, but he couldn't catch her or protect her. It was the first time he felt so powerless.
He didn't know what he was angry about or panicked about. He obviously held her so tightly and treated her so well, so why did she keep flying?
Now he figured it out.
How can a luan bird hide in an eagle's feathers? He should let her fly high and fly high with her.
Xie Tingzhou tied Shen Yu's cloak, his eyes lingered on her face for a moment, and he said warmly: "I'll wait for you to come home in Shengjing. Come back early."
Without saying anything, he lightly slapped the horse's buttocks and watched the horse take a few steps forward.
Shen Yu wanted to look back at him again.
"Don't look back." Xie Tingzhou said, "I'll watch you go and I'll pick you up when you come back."
Shen Yu smiled with tears in her eyes and nodded vigorously, "Yes."
The solemn look was very cute, and Xie Tingzhou laughed.
The horse started walking slowly, and Shen Yu lowered her head and glanced at what he had just given her.
That's a knife.
It was the knife that she couldn't put down, but just to coax him, she gave it back to him.
He once said that this knife had no name because he hadn't thought about it yet, but now there are two words engraved on the knife.
——Yinfeng
Shen Yu burst into tears.
She is the Luan bird in his heart, and this knife is called Yin Feng, which is meant to guide her home.
She had no home, but he built one for her and told her that the phoenix should remember to return to its nest.
She rode her horse slowly in the morning light, her eyes steady through tears.
Gradually, the sound of horse hooves became thicker and faster.
Snapped--
His beloved girl galloped away, whipping up her horse and whip.
Xie Tingzhou stood on the hill on horseback.
The figure had long since disappeared, but he was still looking at it from a distance.
Shengjing Changfeng is still the same, but after all, that person is missing.
————End of the previous volume————
All the way south, we walked for about twenty days.
It is rainy in the south in the west and the official road is muddy. Especially after entering Qichang Mansion, the road in the next few days will be even more difficult.
Qichang Mansion is very poor. It should be said that this area is very poor, including neighboring Luzhou.
It was getting late, and the army camped thirty miles away from Sandpiper Mountain.
"My lord, Qichang Zhizhou sent someone to deliver a letter."
"Send it up."
Xiao Chuan handed the letter to her.
He was the deputy general sent by the Ministry of War to accompany him. He was from the Xiao family, but he did not join the Xiao family army and instead served in the capital.
I originally had some objections to Shigure leading his troops, and he did a lot of embarrassing things along the way.
Shen Yu didn't talk much to him. First of all, she said that you don't like me, so let's compete. If I lose, you will be the middle man. If you lose, don't talk to me about what you have and what you don't have. .
After that fight, Xiao Chuan was completely subdued by him.
After Shen Yu read the letter, Xiao Chuan asked, "Do you want to reply?"
"No need." Shen Yu threw the letter away, "Qichang Magistrate Liu Songlin invited me to the city for a banquet, so don't pay attention."
Shen Yu spread out the map by herself, folding her arms and saying nothing.
Xiao Chuan said: "Sir, are you going to rest for a day before attacking, or are you going to strike while the iron is hot?"
"Today is the eighth day of the Western lunar month, right?"
Xiao Chuan was stunned for a moment by the question, "Uh, yes."
"Wait a few more days." Shen Yu said, "We have to wait for one more person."
"who?"
Shen Yu gave up and said, "The key person might be able to save us a lot of trouble."
