Chapter 241: Nightfall
The unfortunate Assassin's body was quickly carried away, and his death was like a grain of sand thrown into the wide Shinno River, without making a splash at all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The old military doctor also woke up Xiaoxiao and the few soldiers who were drugged by mistake, and the afternoon passed in such a mess.
Soon it was dusk, and Hua Lianyue stood in the tent and looked into the distance, and the sunset like broken gold gilded everything in front of her with a dazzling golden light. The hanging branches are like ornate tassels with gold edges, making a soft sound with the autumn wind.
Xiaoxiao opened the curtain and walked out, she said respectfully: "Madam, the inside has been packed up, you can go in and rest." ”
"Don't worry, I haven't seen such a good sunset in a few days, I'll stand for a while!" Hua Liyue raised her face, letting the spots of light cast through the gaps in the leaves shine on her face.
In the flying light, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and also hid the faint fear in her heart.
Yu Yuan's indifferent attitude towards the assassin suddenly made her realize that she was still too underestimated. Maybe having Zhang Yuanyang by her side made her feel too relieved and forgot that she was trapped in the enemy camp. The people around them are all suspicious, and human life is as despicable as ants in their eyes.
Although she succeeded in separating the cooperation between Yu Yuan and Wu Luolan, she knew that it was not because of how clever her strategy was, but purely due to luck. But such good fortune will not always be with her.
At this moment, she suddenly felt extremely weak. Slowly, she crouched down, wrapped her hands around her knees, and tucked her face into her clothes.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoxiao asked worriedly.
Hua Lianyue's muffled voice came out: "I'm dazzled by the sun!" She rubbed her eyes on her knees, and the moisture that suddenly gushed out of her eyes was swallowed back by her.
"Isn't it uncomfortable? I'm going to ask the old military doctor to show you. Xiaoxiao really thought that her eyes were shaking, and immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
Hua Lianyue hurriedly raised her hand and grabbed her wrist, and said, "Wait! I'll be fine after a while, I don't need to call the old military doctor to come, he is also very busy." Her palms were slightly hot, faintly sweating.
Xiaoxiao looked down at her in surprise. But I saw that she didn't seem to be anything unusual except for some infrared eyelids.
Seeing Xiaoxiao's panic and worry in her eyes, Hua Lianyue suddenly smiled. She let go of Xiaoxiao's wrist and stood up steadily. Stroking the wrinkled skirt, she smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's go in!" She only allowed herself to be weak for a moment, her tears faded, and she was the flower who was not afraid of the sky and the earth in the past.
Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm, and the two of them walked to the tent together. Although enjoying the friendly touch of the sun, Hua Liyue did not dare to forget her identity as a captive.
People, only when they are clear about their own identity will they put themselves in the right position. Otherwise, someone will remind you and even help you identify yourself.
Isn't Uloran the best example! In the end, he tried his best, but he made a mess. Hua Lianyue was still secretly reminding herself that if she saw that barbaric princess again in the future, she would have to retreat, but she didn't know that at this moment, Wu Luolan had become a corpse under the Xinye River.
Returning to the tent and sitting down, listening to the people outside shouting and neighing, Hua Lianyue felt indescribably depressed and irritable. Xiaoxiao deliberately sprinkled another handful of spice sawdust into the bronze incense burner, and a faint white smoke floated out from the cracks in the incense burner, and the fragrance in the air became more and more intense.
Hua Lianyue couldn't help but take a deep breath and smell it carefully, this fragrance has three points of freshness of plants and trees, three points of richness of flowers, three points of sweetness of fruits, and finally a hint of mint sweetness.
Sure enough, it's the third prince, and he can enjoy it, even the little spices are so particular. Hua Lianyue squinted and glanced over, just to see Xiaoxiao squatting in front of the table, fanning the faint white smoke wafting in front of her with her hand with an intoxicated face, as if she was indulging in this unique fragrance.
Hua Lianyue opened her mouth and said, "Xiaoxiao, extinguish the incense burner!"
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao looked back at her and said in surprise: "Why? Madame doesn't like this taste? This was sent by the third prince, and it is said that it is the favorite spice of the third prince, and it is extremely troublesome to configure!"
Hua Lianyue sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile: "The third prince has a heart, such a fresh and elegant smell, there are indeed few people who don't like it!"
"Then why do you want to extinguish the incense burner?" Xiaoxiao became more and more puzzled.
Girls like this sweet smell, Xiaoxiao is inevitably reluctant in her heart, so she hurriedly explained: "Although this tent has been cleaned up, there is always a smell of blood, and this fragrance can just cover up the smell of blood." ”
Hua Lianyue snorted coldly and said, "This fragrance can indeed perfectly cover up the smell of blood, and it can also make people relax and enjoy their body and mind." But what I need at this moment is not to relax, but to stay awake and vigilant at all times.
Xiaoxiao, you also have to remember that even if Ulolan left the barracks, this place is still full of dangers, and it is not a place where we can relax with all our hearts. We...... It is true that bloody gas is needed to refresh oneself. ”
Hua Lianyue said extremely gently, but Xiaoxiao instantly understood the emotion she wanted to express. She immediately took a cup of water and poured it all over the censer. After a large mist of water was raised, the incense burner was quickly extinguished.
Put down the empty cup and sit down beside Hua Liyue in a dejected manner. After a long time, she kept biting her lip and hanging her head in silence.
Hua Lianyue also didn't speak for a long time, she poured herself a cup of tea, and she was not in a hurry to drink it, she only pinched the teacup with two fingers and shook it gently, watching the tender green tea soup in the cup swing out one after another, but her thoughts didn't know where to fly.
The two of them each thought about their own thoughts, and let the time pass slowly. The last rays of the setting sun faded, and the silent tent was gradually enveloped in darkness.
It wasn't until the noise of the changing of the guard came from outside that the two of them woke up from their respective thoughts. "It's getting dark!" Xiaoxiao hurriedly sat up, found a flint and steel to light the oil lamp on the table.
The dim light had just illuminated the silent tent, but the curtain had been lifted. A guard strode in, he bowed his hand to Hua Lianyue, and said, "Madam, our three princes are invited!"
Hua Lianyue didn't seem surprised by this sudden invitation, she hooked her lips and smiled, raised her head and drank the cold tea that was already cold in the cup, then stood up, raised her legs and walked out of the tent.
Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed, but after only a few steps, the guard stretched out his hand to block her way, and said, "You don't have to go!"
Xiaoxiao said eagerly: "It was the third prince who asked me to serve my wife closely." ”
The guard frowned, and said impatiently: "Are you still afraid that there will be a shortage of people to serve the third prince?
"But ......." Xiaoxiao still wants to work hard.
The guards were already obviously impatient, and Hua Lianyue preemptively said: "Xiaoxiao, be obedient, you will wait in the tent." ”
She secretly gave a look, Xiaoxiao immediately understood, and nodded obediently: "Yes, I will prepare refreshments in the tent and wait for Mrs. to come back and enjoy." ”
........
"Madame, please!"
When they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, the guards immediately stopped, and only made a gesture of invitation respectfully. Depending on the situation, he planned to let Hua Liyue go in alone.
Hua Lianyue didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yu Yuan's gourd, but on someone else's territory, she couldn't help refusing. Hua Lianyue took a deep breath, held the mentality that if she came, she opened the curtain and strode in.
The torches used for lighting on both sides crackled and crackled, and the sound of silk bamboo and women singing in the tent overflowed. The moment Hua Liyue came in, it was strangely quiet, and the air seemed to freeze in an instant.
The dancers who were originally swinging enchantingly in the middle immediately stepped aside with great eyes, and then looked curiously at Hua Liyue, who had rashly intruded.
Hua Lianyue walked into the big tent, and after seeing the situation in front of her clearly, she froze suddenly. Her eyes widened, and in a trance she felt that she must have seen it wrong.
At the top of the place, a figure she was very familiar with, and she didn't know how many tears she shed in her midnight dream, was sitting on Yu Yuan's left hand, looking at herself quietly.
Even though he had lost a lot of weight, even though his chin was full of cyan stubble, even though his complexion had changed from the original elegant fair to a resolute wheat color. But those familiar dark eyes still made her recognize at a glance, this person was Liu Hui, who had been separated from her for several months.
When I first saw Liu Hui, after Hua Lianyue's initial ecstasy, there was a strong worry in my heart. She knew that Liu Hui would rush over as fast as possible, but she always thought that he would be the same as before, disguise himself, and then secretly rescue himself.
She never thought that Liu Hui would appear in front of her in a loud voice, and she did not shy away from confronting Yu Yuan directly.
She can imagine how tense and murderous the Chinese army tent seemed to be singing and dancing before she came in.
Hua Liyue's heart began to beat violently, and she involuntarily pressed her chest, which was full of indescribable complex emotions.
Seeing that Hua Lianyue had been standing in place and making a fool, Yu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle out loud, and said to Liu Hui beside him: "It seems that Madame hasn't met King Xian for too long, so she can't recognize it." ”
Liu Hui smiled slightly and put down the wine glass in his hand. He stood up, stretched out his hand to Hua Lianyue, and said softly: "What are you doing standing stupidly, don't come over quickly!"
At this moment, Hua Lianyue was the only one in her eyes, and she didn't need him to urge again, and immediately walked in front of him in a few steps.
She couldn't help but reach out to stroke his thin cheek, her lips trembled for a long time, and then she spit out a sentence weakly: "Why have you lost so much weight!"
In fact, Hua Lianyue had a lot of things to say in her heart, but unfortunately after seeing him, her head became a mess, and she subconsciously said what she thought was the most important sentence.
Hua Lianyue has always felt that she is very strong, and even at the moment before entering the Chinese army's big tent, she was still thinking about how to deal with Yu Yuan in her heart.
Who knew that the moment she saw Liu Hui, all her strength actually came to naught. At this moment, not only was her whole body trembling, but her legs were so weak that she couldn't walk.
Liu Hui grabbed her wrist, and the force he used was a little too strong, making her feel pain. But it was also this pain that made her know that she was not dreaming, and that she was not hallucinating because she missed too much.
She opened her mouth and was stupid, but Liu Hui frowned, he gently touched the wound at the corner of her mouth that had not healed with his other hand, and a trace of yin fowl flashed in his eyes. He said word by word: "You are injured!"
He is not asking, but stating a fact. After saying these four words, he looked sideways at Yu Yuan on the side, and said coldly: "The secret letter of the third prince did not say it. ”
Liu Hui really didn't know that Hua Lianyue was injured, Yu Yuan naturally wouldn't say it, and even Zhang Yuanyang didn't mention it under Hua Lianyue's advice. Now that he suddenly saw the corners of her bruised and bruised mouth, he was naturally distressed.
Yu Yuan snorted, and said calmly: "Xianwang Hugh wanted to misunderstand, and he didn't inform him in time, but he was also kind in the next piece, and he didn't want Xianwang to worry about his wife." It's only because Princess Ulolan is too arrogant that she will make Madame full of pain. ”
After a pause, he added: "King Xian and Ulolan are also familiar with each other, and they must know that her temperament is really moody, and what she does is really unpredictable. ”
"Not bad, not bad!" The old general Yuwen, who was sitting next to accompany him, immediately accosted: "It's a pity that Princess Wuluolan has left, otherwise she would have to come and accompany Madame well!"
Yu Wenzheng, who was sitting beside him, flashed a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and then he lowered his eyes again and poured himself a drink silently.
While they were talking, Liu Hui had already helped the excited Hua Lianyue to sit down beside him. The wide sleeves hung down, cleverly covering the hands that the two had been holding tightly. The palms of both of them were hot because of excitement, but unfortunately neither of them wanted to let go of the other.
At this moment, Hua Lianyue still felt that she was in a dream. But I heard Yu Yuan mention it at the tip of my ear, Liu Hui and Wu Luolan are familiar with this sentence.
In her mind, she couldn't help but think of the time ago in the ancient town of Erna, she met Yu Yuan, Wu Luolan and Liu Hui in disguise. At that time, Wu Luolan was looking for his own trouble, but Liu Hui showed that he didn't know him from beginning to end, so he almost didn't act for the tiger and helped Wu Luolan bully himself together.
Hua Lianyue's heart was full of joy and immediately turned into annoyance, and she quietly pinched Liu Hui's palm. Liu Hui thought she was blaming herself for being late, so she endured the pain without moving.
Fortunately, Hua Lianyue only pinched it so lightly, and immediately retracted her strength. Anyway, their relationship was murky at the time. Now that he is her husband, she is reluctant to really hurt him.
The two of them were secretly flirting and scolding, and Yu Yuan naturally couldn't detect it, and at his signal, those dancers began to dance again.
In the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, Yu Yuan talked a lot of nonsense with Liu Hui with haha, and Liu Hui naturally accompanied him to talk nonsense. Both of them have their own plans in their hearts, but they are like foxes probing each other's bottom line.
Hua Lianyue didn't listen carefully to what they were saying, but from time to time she turned her head sideways and looked gently at Liu Hui, who was intriguing with Yu Yuan and talking eloquently.
Her heart is unusually calm and warm.
