Body 173 Farewell
This is obviously unkind, after all, anyone who is stopped at night for no reason will be a little annoyed, especially when Guo Shu is still in the carriage, and he finally has a legitimate time alone, but he was interrupted, Xiao Hengyan did not directly drive people away, which is already considered to be a face.
Guo Shu patted Xiao Hengyan, and the smile that had always been on his face seemed to be kind and had completely disappeared without a trace at this time. Although it was not too gloomy, Xiao Hengyan could see that Guo Shu was no longer willing to give even the usual false politeness, which showed that he was already on the verge of anger.
Xiao Hengyan held Guo Shu's hand with his backhand, her hand was bigger than that of ordinary girls, this was because she had practiced martial arts since she was a child, but she didn't have any calluses, and it felt very good, Xiao Hengyan couldn't help but pinch it.
Guo Shu felt Xiao Hengyan's movements, a warmth came from his hand, and the warmth spread to his heart, Guo Shu's original words came to his mouth, but when he said it, he changed again.
"The princess and the ambassador stopped my carriage, but do you want to take a step to speak? It's too late today, it's better to go over tomorrow, do you want the Royal Guards to send it away to avoid any accidents?"
Peng Yifei stepped forward and arched his hand, "The county lord is not in a hurry, I haven't found the opportunity to tell the county lord at the palace banquet before, and it's not a big deal, I just want to ask the county lord for someone, and I will leave Beijing tomorrow, so I have to bother tonight, and I hope the county lord will agree." ”
Xiao Hengyan looked at Qing'er who was hiding behind Peng Yifei, thoughtfully.
Guo Shu snorted lightly, "If I don't allow it, does the ambassador plan to take people away and elope and then send someone to inform me, oh no, I forgot, the ambassador is informing me now, is the ambassador a little conceited?"
"I know that the county lord will not release people, but it's polite to tell me in advance, isn't it?" Peng Yifei pretended not to hear Guo Shu's cynicism.
"The ambassador knows me very well, but does the ambassador really think that he can take her out of Da Viet safely? ”
Xiao Hengyan glanced back and stood forward, supporting Guo Shu.
Peng Yifei saw Xiao Hengyan standing in front of Guo Shu to support her, and the corners of his mouth twitched. If it was just Guo Shu's cruel words just now, it was like a child saying that he was waiting for a truth after school, then if Xiao Hengyan weighed his waist, it means that he is very likely to be unable to leave after school.
The silent Chi Lian finally spoke. "You take a look at this first," she said as she handed out an extremely exquisite, carved and gold-clad square wooden box from the car, "This is what Brother Qi entrusted me to bring you, and he asked me to take care of you, even if you don't agree, you should take a look at this." ”
Seeing the box, Guo Shu thought about it suspiciously, and immediately changed his face, and his originally gloomy face was almost dripping.
"You take it back, where did you come from, where did you go back, this is a little face I have left you in our past relationship, don't force me to throw that thing in your face. Guo Shu still had a politeness in his words, and this matter was gone, and it was already considered a good cultivation if he didn't scold directly.
Xiao Hengyan heard this, although he didn't know what the relationship between these people was for the time being, but Guo Shu was already torn his face, he thought about it, and felt that it was better for the woman to sing with her husband.
"Do you hear clearly? The county lord understands what he meant, and this king asks the Imperial Guards to give you a ride. ”
Chi Lian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Peng Yifei, so he had to take back the box and enter the carriage. Peng Yifei led Qing'er and wanted to get into the car, but Qing'er didn't move, Peng Yifei only glanced back, and no longer insisted, and got into the carriage himself. Seeing the situation, Guo Shu pulled Qing'er aside. When Xiao Hengyan saw it, he also silently stepped aside, leaving space for the two to talk.
Guo Shu looked at Qing'er, looking at the little girl she had been watching grow up, her eyes were a little distant, as if she had seen the past or the future through her. Qing'er is not big, she is actually a little more than two years younger than Guo Shu, she is only fourteen years old now, and she is only fifteen years old when it comes to virtual age, such an age is just a junior high school child in the next generation, even in ancient times when she married and had children early, she was just a little girl who was just qualified to be married. Guo Shu has always regarded her as a sister or even a daughter.
Guo Shu just knew that when Qing'er was going to follow Peng Yifei back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty again, he even had the heart to kill her, although he didn't say it, but secretly made Qing'er have to come out and talk to her in person. But when he saw the box, Guo Shu's heart suddenly disappeared. The full anger was empty all of a sudden, which was why Guo Shu could still speak here calmly.
"Eldest Sister......
"Do you know what you're going to face when you go back this time? I did that before I left...... If it were me, he might have spared his hand, but if it were you, I'm afraid he wouldn't mind just splitting your body with a thousand knives. The last few words, Guo Shu almost squeezed out from between his teeth, and he didn't know whether he was talking about "him" or himself.
Qing'er was stunned, squeezed out a wry smile, Guo Shu's eyes flashed a little light, but he only stayed for a moment, and then moved his eyes away.
"I haven't called you that for a long time, eldest sister," Qing'er's head, which had been half-bowed, raised her head, her eyes were firm, and there seemed to be a little flame, although it was weak, but it was burning, emitting a burst of vitality," The Thousand Treasure Pavilion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the hard work of the three of us, when the eldest brother finally had to withdraw it, it was really sad, and there are some elders, transferred to Dayue, which means that everything before has to be overturned, although they all understand it, but they are also very regretful, not only two years of hard work, but also their lifelong or even generational efforts, and now they have been burned, eldest sister, have you ever thought about their unwillingness?"
Guo Shu was like a fish in his throat, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
"I understand, they also understand, everything is not as important as life, but the situation is not as bad as you think, besides, in the current situation, he still needs us, he will not be so easy to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, right? ”
"It's not the reason why he can't drag it back," Guo Shu shook his head, "He's trying to lure me back, so naturally he won't kill them all." ”
"So ......"
"So you go back, I wasn't ready to stop you," Guo Shu hooked the corners of his mouth, flashing with unexplained emotions, " You have your own life, I am not ready to teach you to be a knowledgeable and well-behaved lady, and I am also ready to let you regard marriage as the most important thing in life, you have this ability, I am not ready to bury you in the backyard, you should have your own ability, especially with a good heart, so that no matter where you go and who you marry, you can live well, this is my wish, and it is also your eldest brother's wish. ”
After Guo Shu finished speaking, it seemed to take a lot of effort, "You don't want to live under your wings, I don't want to, you were taught by me, and I don't know if this is fortunate or unfortunate, when you came to me, I already told your eldest brother, he agreed, I don't have any position to disagree, you take care of yourself, withdraw in time when necessary, I don't want to see you out of Yandu." ”
Qing'er was already in tears, pursed her lips, and finally swallowed her words raw, only nodded, and turned to get into the carriage.
Guo Shu still stood there for a long time, until the carriage disappeared at the end of the intersection, and the shadow of the moonlight on his body was half shorter, and then slowly walked to the front of the carriage of King Xu's mansion, and rarely took the initiative to take Xiao Hengyan's hand.
The carriage walked on the already empty street, and only the horse's hooves made a crisp "pop" sound. Xiao Hengyan stared at it for a long time with a little grievance, a little exploration, and a little restraint.
"I'm going to King Xu's Mansion and I'm not going back. Guo Shu's soft voice sounded.
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Hengyan didn't seem to come back to his senses yet, but Guo Shu didn't speak anymore, so he had to order: "Go around the back door of Guo's mansion, stop for a while, and then go back to the mansion directly." ”
Fortunately, Xiao Hengyan arranged Guo Shu's maid Jiao Lan in another carriage, as long as he was careful tomorrow, there would be no rumors of the news, at this point, Xiao Hengyan was still confident, he would not go to bad Guo Shu's reputation at this time. Although the emperor had just created a momentum for her, he didn't want her to be subjected to the slightest senseless criticism.
The carriage swayed for a long time before entering the back door of King Xu's mansion, and the guards and maidservants along the way had already been opened, only Xiao Hengyan dragged Guo Shu's hand all the way into the dormitory.
"The water has been put away, the clothes are also prepared, the last time you came, I asked them to estimate the preparation for you, your clothes will be changed and then take them to wash, it is estimated that it will be good tomorrow morning, there are some pastries on the table, you eat first, don't eat too much, you can't sleep at night......"
"Hee-hee-----" The light and thin laughter reached Xiao Hengyan's ears, and it gently scratched Xiao Hengyan's heart like a little claw, crispy and numb, making Xiao Hengyan feel at a loss all of a sudden.
"Why are you more verbose than the old mother in my room," Guo Shu's face seemed to return to his usual delicate and kind girl who was always smiling, with his hands behind his back, his face turned sideways, and he rushed to Xiao Hengyan at once, and hooked Xiao Hengyan's neck with both hands. Xiao Hengyan suddenly approached the person on the tip of his heart so closely, and suddenly turned red to his neck, but his hand was not slow, he hugged Guo Shu's waist and pushed her to the bed and sat down.
"Why didn't you ask me about today?"
Guo Shu's voice sounded extremely distant, as if she was missing something, and seemed to be resentful of something, but she was suppressed by something, and the dark tide below was turbulent, I am afraid that only she herself knew.
"I'm very angry, you didn't tell me anything, but then I thought, if you want to say it, if you can tell me, you will definitely tell me, so, I can wait, when you are willing to talk to me, including today's events, including that Yu Wenjing, the Jiang family in Silin Town is you who have been prepared early in the morning, and being rescued by them is probably also planned by you a long time ago, I have thought a lot about it before and after, but the Taoist told me that I can't force you, and I think so, so just believe in you." ”
Guo Shu was silent for a moment, crying and laughing, "You don't call this forcing me?"
Xiao Hengyan was not annoyed when he was seen through, under the dim light, he looked at Guo Shu so quietly, the light on her face was really good-looking, he thought so.
"There's nothing I can't say, tomorrow, when they're gone and out of the Gyeonggi area, I'll tell you, now, you go back to sleep. Guo Shu pushed Xiao Hengyan, but he didn't push it.
Xiao Hengyan's eyes became a little dangerous, "This is my dormitory, where are you going to let me go?"
"Then I'll sleep somewhere else. Guo Shu was clever and effortlessly broke free, but was grabbed by the wrist.
"Tease you, you have a good rest here, I'll go to the study, you wake up tomorrow morning. After Xiao Hengyan finished speaking, he let go of his hand and strode out, without looking back.
The door was not closed, and the cool breeze of the night poured in, blowing Guo Shu a little chilly.
