"The emperor has agreed to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Tongge War Zone to gather at the Xinshu border, but there is little hope that he will order a war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Enough is enough. "The current emperor has been implementing a conservative contraction policy since he ascended the throne, and it is impossible to expect him to declare war on the outside world, so Xue Ying has been mentally prepared from the beginning.

Anyway, as long as Dagu's soldiers and horses gather at the border of Xinshu, Xinshu's side will inevitably mobilize the border defense, and when the time comes, the internal air defense will be weak, and the long-planned "trick" will be able to take the opportunity to seize the throne of Dai Zongnan.

But no matter what, she always took a dangerous move, and even if everything went well, there was no guarantee of the safety of the past. Regime change, who knows what will happen to the former in a controlled state?

"Enough is enough? Looks like you've gained something new since I left yesterday. But looking at your face, it doesn't seem to be very happy?"

"My purpose is to save people, and as long as they don't come back safely, there's nothing to be happy about. Xue Ying always couldn't understand the depression in her heart, "If only I could go there myself." ”

Xue Qi lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "If you really can't rest assured, I can go for you." ”

"You are about to take over the Northern Xinjiang Theater, and if you can not contact the affairs of the Tongge Theater, you will not be contacted, otherwise you will be careful that the emperor will be suspicious of you, and there will be endless disasters. ”

"You're worried about me?"

"I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble. I have already done what I should do, and the rest depends on the will of God. Xue Ying got up and bowed her knees to thank her, "Great grace is not grateful, if there is anything useful in the future, Xue Ying will definitely be duty-bound." ”

"Why do you and I have to say such kind words?" Xue Qi sighed, "No matter how much I do, I can't make up for the damage I have done to you over the years." But I would also like our father and daughter to continue to owe each other like this, it is better than breaking it off and having nothing to do with each other. ”

Xue Ying lowered her eyes and was speechless.

"How long will you stay in Anjing City?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow, it's time to go back to Ganxiao Temple. ”

"'Return' to the Temple of Filial Piety. Xue Qi repeated her words, his tone full of sourness, "For you, the Marquis of Jian'an's Mansion can only be regarded as a 'foreign country', right?"

Xue Ying didn't dare to speak, saying anything would only make him more sad. People have worked hard to help a lot, and she is embarrassed to show mercy.

Because she was about to leave, Xue Ying had to make a lot of effort to arrange the next things. originally wanted to take Dong Xun back to Jiuquan Beizhuang, but Dong Xun was relieved of the affairs of the Bandung Commercial Bank and asked to stay until the situation stabilized, Xue Ying had to listen to her.

Luo Shishang woke up and was already disillusioned, so he listened to Xue Ying's invitation and stayed in Bandung Firm to continue to be his cornucopia - although Bandung Merchant Bank spent a huge amount of money to "redeem" him, Xue Ying believed that the money must be worth it.

If you really bet the burden of Bandung Commercial Bank completely on Dong Xun, then you don't feel at ease, now with the addition of Luo Shishang, Dong Xun is in the main house, Luo Shishang is outside the main house, and the two of them work together to support Bandung Commercial Bank, I believe there will be no big problems for the time being.

The use of what makes her feel at ease is the past. But the trip to Ganxiao Temple can no longer be delayed, and if it drags on any longer, Master Mingli will lose his temper and say that it may affect Liao Yunxi, and when the time comes, the two ends will catch fire, and things will only get worse.

In the middle of the night, Xue Ying, who had been busy all day, finally lay down, and her aching body made her wail again and again, hugging the quilt and wanting to cry without tears.

"Miss, are you alright?" asked Qiaoya worriedly.

"It's okay, just get some sleep. Go back to bed, and get up early tomorrow. ”

"Don't you really need me to stay here?"

"I'm not a kid anymore, don't keep vigil. Hurry up. ”

Qiaoya has seen Xue Ying's stubbornness in this regard, and knows that protesting is useless, and it is worth retreating.

Xue Ying was already extremely tired, but after closing her eyes, her mind was full of complicated noises, and she couldn't sleep. After a long time, she turned over and sat up irritably, the room was lit by dim candlelight, she stared at the darkest corner of the room, and suddenly said, "Stove?"

"I'm sorry I got you arguing. The stove spoke, and then Xue Ying spotted him by the candlelight—it was the brightest place in the entire room, and she was sure it was empty for a second.

"I didn't know you were coming, I was just idle and screaming. ”

Just kidding, with his ghostly skills, how could she possibly feel it?

"Didn't you say that I had to say hello in my room after that, and you want to play the trick of coming and going quietly?" she grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"I feel like you're in a bad mood and I'm afraid of being scolded. "The stove is still standing still.

Xue Ying was very uncomfortable talking from such a distance, and she was about to get out of bed, but the stove said, "You better sit there." ”

Xue Ying stopped her movements and asked, "Are you injured again?"

"It's always bad to get too close. The stove said lightly.

What the hell? Still struggling with the fact that she would fall in love with him? I knew she wouldn't have made that joke in the first place.

"Did you come to me for something?"

"Mama Ai has already left, and before leaving, she took out something. After Rong Wan'er died, you were taken away by Zhen's mother, and she went to that room again, trying to find out if anything valuable had been left behind. The stove paused and asked, "I remember you said that your real name is Mu Xingfu?"

Xue Ying's throat suddenly became a little dry, and a buzz sounded in her ears due to nervousness: "Yes." ”

"She picked this up on the ground. The stove flicked something in his hand onto the quilt in front of her.

In the dim light, Xue Ying could only faintly see that it was a piece of purple-black wood, carved into the shape of a human in a rough way. Reaching out to pick it up, I felt that the piece of wood was much heavier than expected, the surface was smooth and delicate, and there was still the residual warmth of the stove's body.

Then the light took a closer look, and she gasped and coughed violently.

After a while, he barely stopped coughing, looked at the stove in horror, and said in a hoarse voice: "Where did you find this?!"

"Right next to your cradle. Because of the peculiar texture, Mama Ai hid it, but no one could tell what material it was for so many years, and the carving process was not very exquisite, so it has not been sold. ”

How so?!

Xue Ying looked at the thing in her hand again. Although the carving was rough, she recognized at a glance that the wood was carved from Mu Xingfu, and she was wearing the wide school uniform she had worn from junior high school to college.

Why did Mu Xingfu's wood carving appear next to Xue Ying's cradle? At that time, Xue Ying was obviously dead but resurrected, does it have anything to do with this? And all this has anything to do with her inexplicable crossing?

"Is this what you are?" the stove asked.

"Yes. Xue Ying stroked the lines of the wood carving blankly, and her body was cold and hot.
