Chapter Twenty-Five: Hope for the Return of the King (II)

Recalling this, Shen Xiao stared at the note and read it softly:

"It's hard to make promises, don't give up on each other, and look forward to the return of the king day and night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Even if Chan'er's intentions are put aside, it is impossible to let the county lord of Chanyuan marry the palace master of the Demon Palace, let alone marry a mere shooting captain. Emperor Xuan's mind is deep, and Chan'er's future is still uncertain. Thinking too far, it is better to grasp the simplest and most important thing in front of you - to save your life, to be able to see her every day, and it is enough to wish.

While rubbing the words written by Chan'er on the note, Shen Xiao sighed unconsciously.

"What is the sigh of a man in a room?" Suddenly, a powerful voice came from the direction of the porch, followed by the footsteps of people getting closer and closer.

Shen Xiao's nerves tightened, and she hurriedly hid the note under the jade pillow, and then got up to greet her as usual, bowed to the person and said:

"Lord, why are you here?"

"I'm worried about your injuries, come and see you." The person who came was none other than the Star Altar Venerable Lord.

"Lord Lao is worried, his subordinates' injuries are fine, but today's defeat to Orange Flame Villa will damage the face of the lord, and his subordinates are ashamed, so they sigh."

"Sit down and talk." You Huan gestured to Shen Xiao and said, and then he also sat down on the tea seat facing the bed, "I don't blame you for today's incident." The skills of Chang Li and Yu Tong are not much worse than Liao Wei, so it will be difficult for you to deal with Fu Huan. ”

"When the lord says this, his subordinates are even more ashamed."

"You know, every lord of the Star Altar can't change the rules of the ancestors, and they have to add an extra rule to the rules that have been inherited."

"Yes."

"Among the previous lords, the rules set by my master are the most demanding."

"After the lord, the martial arts inheritance of the Star Altar can only be passed on to women, not men."

"Not bad. Therefore, although I value you and Fu Huan, I can never teach each other like I teach Wanqing and Rui'er. I am very pleased that you two have achieved what you are today with your own efforts. Especially today's tacit understanding between you and Wanqing, I can't help but feel sorry that I can't accept you as an apprentice. ”

"Speaking of which, thanks to the help of the eldest lady today, the situation was stabilized."

"You didn't mention it, I almost forgot, this is Wanqing asked me to find out and heal your wounds." You Huan took out a bottle of wound medicine from his cuff and placed it on the table.

"Thank you, Lord, thank you, Miss."

"This girl is twenty years old, and I have always treated her as a child, and I am afraid that delaying her life events like this will be delayed."

"The eldest lady is the pearl of the lord's palm, as long as the lord is willing, there is not an endless stream of people who come to ask for relatives."

"But there are not many people I value, and there is only one person who can be admired by Wanqing, and his name is Shan Xiao." You Huan looked at Shen Xiao with blazing eyes, and the corners of his lips rose and said.

Shen Xiao's pupils contracted suddenly, her heart fluctuated faintly, and her expression replied quietly:

"It is a blessing for subordinates to be valued by the lord and the eldest lady."

"Haha." You Huan laughed and said, "In the past, I only treated Wanqing as a brother, after all, you are eight years apart, if you weren't injured today, she wouldn't want to reveal a thing or two to me, a father." ”

"If you talk about age, Qirui is two years older than the eldest lady, and it is also the age when it is time to get married." Shen Xiao deliberately diverted You Huan's attention and said.

"It has something to do with what I just said to you."

"The Lord refers to ......"

"Master's so-called non-passable male is to impose restrictions on the inheritance of master and apprentice, but he does not talk about the relationship between peers. That's why I decided on a new rule to allow the descendants of the Star Altar to share their martial arts experience with their husbands. In this way, as long as time passes, are you and Fu Huan still not opponents of Orange Flame Villa? ”

"You plan to marry Qi Rui to Fu Huan."

"Except for Wanqing, I'm Rui'er, an apprentice, of course, it's good to leave her to my own people."

"It's just...... Fu Huan and Qi Rui have always been on good terms, and they may live up to the good intentions of the lord. Shen Xiao said tentatively.

"I really haven't thought about it." As You Xuan spoke, his expression turned cold, "Because this is not a problem for me at all." All I know is that no one in the Altar of the Stars can disobey my commands, unless he is a dead man. ”

Shen Xiao's heart suddenly jumped twice, but she didn't make a sound.

"When the people of Orange Flame Villa are repelled and the surrounding city is controlled, I will order someone to handle these two marriages. Today, I can take the opportunity to send medicine to Wanqing to give you a letter in advance. In the future, when you are fine, sit with her more. You Huan mentioned his daughter, and his tone softened again.

"Do as the Lord commands."

"Alright, you can recuperate in peace." You Huan stood up and waved his hand at Shen Xiao, "No need to send it." ”

"Slow down, Lord." Shen Xiao still followed You Huan out of the door, only then turned around and returned to the house, picked up the vial of wound medicine on the table, thoughtful.

~~~

Two days later, on the evening of December 15, by the moonlight, Shen Xiao walked alone in the garden, only to see that not far ahead, You Wanqing was walking towards her. The eyes of the two met in one place, and Shen Xiao spoke first:

"It's rare to see the eldest lady at this time."

"The moonlight is so beautiful today, I haven't been sleepy for a while." You Wanqing smiled lightly, stared at Shen Xiao's left shoulder, and said in a concerned tone, "Is your injury better?" ”

"Thanks to the eldest lady's injury medicine, it has been much better." Shen Xiao also showed a shallow smile and said.

"Did my dad tell you I asked him to give you the medicine?" A flash of crimson flashed on You Wanqing's cheeks, "What else did he say?" ”

"The lord and I gossip a few words, and between the words are love for the eldest lady."

"I still remember when I was a kid, my dad played with me on the swing under such bright moonlight. A very quiet and happy memory. But now that the war is raging, I can't find that feeling anymore. ”

"In troubled times, stability is short-lived, and only when all the turmoil subsides can we regain peace of mind and a new life."

"Big Brother Xiao."

"Huh?"

"What do you want your life to be like in the future?"

"The moon, the flute, and the piano sound in harmony, and they will grow old with one person." Shen Xiao's heart suddenly appeared Chan'er's smile.

"The sound of the piano...... Qin Xiao and Ming, it's not bad to spend the rest of your life like this. You Wanqing's piano skills can be described as skilled, and when she heard what Shen Xiao said, she couldn't help but be wrong.

And Shen Xiao didn't deny anything.

Just as the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous, a figure appeared at the right time.

"Master, so you're here." The person who came raised his voice and said, halfway through the conversation, he caught a glimpse of You Wanqing, and hurriedly said, "The eldest lady is also here." ”

You Wanqing nodded to the visitor and did not speak.

"What's the matter?" Shen Xiao asked.

"The subordinate is reminding the door master that it's time to change the dressing."

Shen Xiao looked up at the moon and muttered:

"Really, I forgot."

"It's getting late, Brother Xiao is injured, and he should rest early." You Wanqing said softly.

"Troll, you send the eldest lady back." Shen Xiao instructed the person to come.

"After such a few steps, do you still need someone to send me?" You Wanqing smiled and said, "Let's ask him to change the medicine with you." ”

"Hmm. That...... The eldest lady rests early. ”

"Hmm."

Seeing You Wanqing turn around, Shen Xiaocai and Trolling Marks walked away.

After a while, a slender figure jumped from the top of the pavilion in the center of the garden, and the moonlight shone on her face, revealing a meaningful smile on Qirui. Qi Rui quietly looked at the direction where Shen Xiao and You Wanqing had stood for a moment, and whispered in a barely audible voice:

"Fu Huan, Wanqing, Wanqing, Shan Xiao. Hum hum ......"

North Gate, the courtyard where Shen Xiao lives-

After Shen Xiao and "Troll" walked into the house, "Troll" cautiously closed the door.

"It's been this hour before you know it, no wonder it's already a drag." Shen Xiao said with a smile on her lips, "The situation has been different recently, so I didn't encounter trouble this time." ”

"Don't worry, the people of Orange Flame Villa are only guarding the west side of the Star Altar, and there is a road directly to the southeast of the Tuoba family, and they can enter and exit on the north side of the Star Altar, which is more secret than coming from Yidu before." The younger brother of the two brothers, Troll, touched his nose with his hand and said, "But listen to what my brother said briefly, this time he is not going back to Tuoba's house, but waiting for the opportunity to meet the little master in the Moge. ”

Shen Xiao nodded, and said softly:

"I know she's in Moge, safety is not a problem, let the trace go, it's to make her feel at ease."

"Looks like I've missed something during my absence." Seeing that Shen Xiao could start smiling again, she was very happy in her heart, so she teased Shen Xiao.

"I'll give you a look." Shen Xiao flickered her fingers, and when the movements in her hand stopped, a folded note had appeared between her fingers.

Trolley took the note, opened it, and muttered to himself:

"'The county lord and the palace master of the Demon Palace are safe', this is known." It's hard to make promises, don't give up on each other, and look forward to the return of the king day and night'...... This is...... Written by the little master? ”

"Hmm!" With a show-off expression, Shen Xiao took back the note and put it away carefully.

Just "it's hard to agree, don't give up" can make Ye Le like this, and his feelings for the little master are really fresh. Although she was reluctant to break Shen Xiao's dream, she still couldn't help but ask in a sinister manner:

"Not only this, but also Fang Cai Ye and the Star Gate Master, what do you think?"

"What do you think?"

"In the Star Altar for ten years, even if the master and the star gate master don't get along day and night, at least they have watched her grow up and work together for a few years. Isn't this sentiment comparable to the relationship between the master and the little master in the palace for five years? ”

"You also said that one is 'affection' and the other is 'affection'. Indeed, Wanqing is the daughter of the lord, which is very similar to the identity of the county lord to me. But don't forget, the prince is the only master of my Shen Xiao in this life, and I will only live in my heart. ”

"I understand. But the conversation under the moon was so good that I shouldn't have interrupted it......"

"Don't be poor, it's for a reason, I'll tell you later. Didn't you say that you changed the dressing, don't you feel sorry for your father's injury? ”

"Yes, it's the right thing for the master to heal his injuries now."
