Chapter 171: What is the direction of this heart?
The road is far away, and the weather is cold.
The carriage had been carefully wrapped in felt from the inside out before setting off to keep out the cold. But it snowed for two days in a row, and the felt became hard, and the chill still penetrated so unscrupulously.
Li Wu stretched out her hand and knocked on it, and the hard feel made her feel funny.
She was not the only one in the car, but there was also a maid who took care of her, who was brought by Nan Yu from Liguo, named 'Geqing'.
For the past two days, the atmosphere in the carriage has been dull. Li Wu never spoke, and Ge Qing didn't understand her temper, so she had to accompany her silence and take care of it carefully.
And now, suddenly hearing the princess laughing, Ge Qing's heart suddenly gave birth to some closeness.
So she tried to take the initiative to talk to Liwu: "Princess, what are you laughing at?"
Half-lowered his eyes, as if he remembered something a long time ago. Her voice was soft, and even her heart softened when she listened.
"When I was playing with my brother, there were always a lot of palace people to follow. At that time, we liked snow the most. Because as long as you wear a white fox fur, you can easily hide in the snow and get rid of all those people. We would play late, roll in the snow together, climb trees and jump in the snow together, and we would not be afraid of the cold. Eventually, when it comes time to go home, the fox fur on his body will become like this, hard and heavy like a stone. If you think about it, my brother and I were like playing with a rock on our backs for half a day! At that time, I was so young, and I don't know where the spirit came from! I didn't feel a sore back and leg pain until I was lying in bed, and I had to swing to walk the next day. ā
Ge Qing listened quietly, she couldn't understand the happiness inside, but she also understood that this should be a beautiful memory cherished in Liwu's heart.
So Ge Qing laughed with him and said casually: "The farewell two days ago, such a grand scene is enough to see that Emperor Feng attaches great importance to you." I think maybe he'll pick you up after a while. Although Nan Xi is hot, he has a good heart, as long as the princess sincerely asks for it, he should also be accurate. ā
When Li Wei heard this, the smile on his face quickly faded.
She said lightly: "I won't go back, I will never go back." ā
Ge Qing was stunned, but she was curious about the complex emotions in her eyes.
She asked worriedly, "Why, aren't you homesick?"
"Yes! I thought about it from the moment I got into the carriage. However, it is because I cherish it too much that I can't get close. If you want to be protected, you have to leave. ā
"I don't really understand. Ge Qing frowned.
"It's better not to understand, it means that you don't have such troubles. Away from sorrow smiled.
Ge Qing wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Liwu and brought the topic over.
"Do you call Nan Zhi by his name?"
"Yes! It has always been like this! There are not many rules and regulations, everyone is used to being so comfortable. Ge Qing replied naturally.
Li Wei nodded: "After that, you will also call me by my name, and I am also a Liguo person now." ā
Ge Qing smiled and nodded, and the trace of tension that Fang Cai was still carrying disappeared.
After sitting for a while, Li Wu opened the curtain slightly and looked out.
For the first time in two days, she looked out the window. The convoy had gone far enough that she no longer had to worry about hurting the scene.
The first thing that catches the eye is a black steed running alongside her carriage.
Immediately, Nan Yu squinted his eyes slightly and looked ahead, there was a layer of snow on his hair and shoulders, he should have maintained this position for a long time.
Li Wei quickly closed the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Doesn't Nan Yu have a carriage?" ā
Ge Qing smiled and said, "How could it not be! That's just that he doesn't want to sit." The road conditions around here are complicated, and I'm afraid that Nan Zhi can't rest assured of you!"
Hearing this, Li Wei lowered his head slightly. She felt her cheeks burn.
He hadn't seriously considered this issue before, and after thinking about it so carefully, he realized that he was about to become his wife.
Ge Qing seemed to know Nan Yu very well, and as soon as she talked about him, she immediately opened her chatterbox.
"Nan Yu was a stubborn temper when he was a child, and he said one thing or another. He sometimes speaks fiercely, but his heart is softer than anyone else's. I remember that during the battle, many soldiers died. It was proposed to return the bodies of the fighters to their hometowns. But it was hot and the road was long. Nan Yu refused in public, and set fire to all the corpses. But I do. When that victory was won, Nan Yu personally brought the ashes to the homes of the war dead, and delivered them one by one, each household, and he knelt down and kowtowed three times before entering the door. In the end, the blood on his head did not stop. In fact, I understand that the ones who died were his brothers, and he was sadder than anyone else, but he couldn't show it. If even he had been discouraged, there would have been no way to win the battle. ā
Listening quietly, she began to understand why several teams of soldiers and horses in Weiguo had been defeated.
The small kingdom has such a leader who personally goes into battle, which is all their hope, and it is the best song of inspiration.
Thinking of this, she lifted the curtain again and whispered to the man, "Aren't you cold?"
Nan Yu turned his head, and his originally serious face softened.
Xu Shi hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Get used to it, no." ā
Sure enough, it is different, although they are both monarchs, although Ziyu is hard, it is only on paper.
Unlike him, he can get used to such an environment.
Li Worry poked his head out of the window, and the mountains in the distance stretched out, as if there was no end.
The sky and the earth are big, and the white of the sky is shockingly beautiful.
I trembled in my heart, and suddenly felt that life was small, and here, it was just a drop in the ocean. As a result, all the troubles and sorrows in my heart faded.
She suddenly waved her hand at Nan Yu, pointed to his horse and asked, "How is this horse?"
"It can travel thousands of miles, and the horses of my country are good horses. ā
"Then you can take me with you, I'm tired of sitting, you can take me for a run!"
Nan Yu shook his head: "You are not in good health, and the road conditions here are also complicated, so you should stay in the car with peace of mind!"
Frowning from the worries, she pretended not to hear it, and pulled the window to jump out.
Nan Yu was anxious, and immediately whistled with his fingers.
The convoy heard the whistle and immediately stopped.
Liwu raised his chin in satisfaction, and was able to walk through the car door at this time.
Nan Yu got off the horse, and he waited at the car door and stretched out his hand to her: "The road is slippery, you be careful!"
Li Wei smiled and generously handed his hand over.
Her hands were thin and cold, and Nan's heart suddenly became uncomfortable.
He lifted her horse, and wrapped his arms around her waist, but suddenly he let go of it quickly, and took only the reins in both hands, trying to maintain a distance.
Li Wei pursed his lips and smiled: "It wasn't like this when you took me on a horse before. ā
"That's different. At that time you were still... It'sā" Nan Yu was a little annoyed, and he didn't know why he suddenly had such a slurred speech.
"I was an ugly girl, wasn't I?" said she chuckled.
Nan Yu nodded invisibly.
"But at that time, you said that if I can't get married, you can be your little wife. Li Wu said with a low smile.
Nan Yu immediately explained solemnly: "Before I met you, I always thought that was what you were, but I still wanted to marry you! And it's not like you can't get married, and now... It's not my little wife. ā
"I know. So, thank you. Li Wei smiled faintly.
"No, I should thank you! Thank you for the peace you brought to the people, thank you for your willingness to come to this barren land. Nan Xu's words finally stopped stammering.
Li Wu just nodded slightly, and then for a while, neither of them spoke again.
In the distance, the fog and cold air faded a little.
Li Wei suddenly said loudly: "You still say that this is a good horse, and the speed is not much faster than that ox cart!"
After speaking, she went to clamp the horse's belly.
This horse usually gallops on the battlefield, and has long been reluctant to walk so slowly. Receiving such an instruction, he immediately raised his front hooves, let out a long roar, and galloped forward.
"Sit down !!," Nan Yu shouted, no longer holding her loosely, but tightly enclosing her in his arms.
The cold and fresh wind blows in your face, the road surface is undulating, and the endless white snow in front of you floats with the sight, as if walking among the clouds.
The ox-horse convoy quickly moved away, and the sky and the earth were silent, except for the sound of horses' hooves and the splashing of snow.
After riding like this for a long time, Nan Yu saw that he was looking left and right, so he quietly let the horse's speed gradually slow down.
"What are you looking for?"
Li Wu finally found an opportunity and looked behind Nan Xu.
After a while, she hung her head and said, "The mountains here are all the same, and there is not even a reference for distinguishing the direction, are we lost?"
Nan Yu smiled heartily: "Follow me, it's hard for you to get lost! In the past, when we fought against your brother, we mostly relied on the confusion of the terrain. If you get lost, how can you trap the enemy?"
"Thankfully, you are no longer enemies now. Li Wu whispered.
"The world is changing, and I never thought that the joke of marrying you in the past has become true now. Nan Zhi's voice was warm and glutinous, and there was a lot less of Lingyan in his impression.
After a short pause, Nan Yu continued: "However, there is no Qionglou Yuyu in Liguo, and I can't give you food and clothing. Although he received these rich dowries, it was still difficult to change the harsh environment of the country. ā
He sighed silently: "I know all this." But since I have chosen to marry you, I am ready to share your ups and downs. ā
Nan Yu pursed his lips, he would not make promises at will, and he would not easily trust others. It's just that this passage of worry, but it seems to melt into my heart, and there is a ridiculous emotion of being deceived and willing.
He couldn't see her expression and appearance, but under her white hood, some inky hair leaked out, which teased the calmness of his heart.
Nan Yu suddenly felt very ridiculous, the person in front of him was obviously his wife, and he was not even afraid of war, what was he cowardly at this time?
"Ninety-nine," he called softly, but even his breathing was a little short.
Li Wei just wanted to continue talking, but Nan Yu had already lowered his body and landed a kiss on her cheek.
Li Wei's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to move, but his hands couldn't stop trembling.
Nan Yu was stunned, he noticed the evasion in her heart, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but be sad.
It turned out that what she was cowardly was her refusal.
