Xiyan hastily ate dinner, climbed into bed early, and wrapped herself tightly. Qiu Ying packed up her things, came up and saw that she had already slept, so she blew out the lamp.

Yan Tianmu went out while eating and didn't come back until late at night. He walked to the door of Xiyan and made a gesture to the autumn warbler guarding the door, telling her not to make a sound. Qiu Ying nodded and walked away first.

Yan Tianmu pushed the door in and walked to Xiyan's bed, wanting to see if she was asleep, but met her open eyes.

"What, didn't you sleep?" Yan Tianmu sat on the edge of her bed, watching her roll herself into a meat dumpling.

"Can't sleep. She said dumbfounded.

"Are you scared during the day?" Yan Tianmu looked at her with a smile, "When did you become so bold?"

"I was timid. She squirmed, and it was so hot under the covers.

"When you flirt with others, you are quite bold. He said disapprerovingly. This little girl.

"I'm not in the mood for a joke, you go back to your room. She said sullenly. "As soon as you close your eyes, you're a bloody person. ”

"I should have blindfolded you or knocked you unconscious. Yan Tianmu said, got up and lit the candle, turned around and asked, "Will this be better?"

"Will this happen again in the future?"

"You're going to the battlefield now, and you may see the bones in a few steps, and you don't know how much blood you've been soaked in when you're standing. Yan Tianmu said lightly. "You should be mentally prepared when you come out. ”

"Got it. She slipped into the quilt again, "You go." ”

"You're so ruthless, just use it and drive me away. He walked over and gently touched her hair, not surprisingly feeling her evasion.

"Here's to you. He took a dagger from his bosom and pressed it under her pillow, "Don't be afraid, sleep in peace." ”

"You take good care of her, she scared today. He went out and told the oriole, "Don't let the candle go out." ”

"Yes. Autumn Oriole nodded.

Lei Yao stood at the head of the city, and the grass under the city was barren. He was tired, very tired.

A few days ago, a courier came from the imperial court, saying that the concubine would go to the border and sign a truce with Zhou. Predictable.

He originally thought that he would not repeat the same mistake this time, but in fact, there were too many things he did not estimate, and many were beyond imagination. The burning of grain and grass ruined the relationship he had built with the local generals. In the position of being to blame at every turn, he made a mistake. He is unwilling, he doesn't want any armistice letter, he wants to be ashamed. But his cries were so faint, so faint that no one wanted to hear them. The withered grass in his eyes is like his heart now, desolate and yellow.

He misses Chaoyan, and her water-like gentleness has always given him great comfort in his distress. But now, she was sick in bed, and he couldn't even look at her.

"It's almost there. Yan Tianmu said loudly outside the sedan chair, encouraging everyone to cheer up.

Xiyan lifted the sedan curtain, and the endless wild grass floated in the wind, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of depression in her heart. She never felt it before. She stared out blankly. In a place like this, it feels like the heart is barren.

"Niangniang?" Qiu Ying was a little worried when she saw that the look on her face was different from before.

"Look, what a barren place. Xiyan didn't look back.

"The environment here can't be compared with the capital. Autumn Oriole glanced casually. "Actually, after looking at it for a long time, it's nothing. ”

"It's quiet, so quiet that there is only the sound of the wind, not even a figure. She said to herself.

"Where will there be people on the barren grass beach, maybe there is a fox fairy hiding. Autumn Oriole quipped.

"If you don't come out, I don't know if there is such a place. Xiyan put down the sedan curtain.

"It's not a good place, do you know what's the difference?"

"When there is a palm-sized sky above the head, people worry about so many things all day long, but in such a big place, it seems that nothing is worth caring about. Xi Yan said thoughtfully, "No wonder men want to come out and make contributions, this world is much more interesting and free than at home." ”

"You, the slave and maid can't understand what you said suddenly. ”
