Chapter 42 Travel
"Jinglin, you obviously know that I have been hiding from that Dai Xue, and this time you and you actually assigned me to lead troops to camp in Qingtong Valley?" Xuan Shao complained about Jinglin with a bitter face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I can't help it... It's Aunt Rujin's mother who came to ask me, it's not a big deal, do you think I can not give her face? Besides, in the northeast near Qingtong Valley, there was originally a garrison under your command, which is also what my father meant...... "Yan Rujin and Jinglin's mother have grown up together since childhood, and sometimes Jinglin even listens to Yan Rujin's words more than his own mother."
As soon as Xuan Shao heard it, he knew that his mother must have taken out the posture of being an aunt to ask him, so Jinglin had to give her face.
"Ah Shao, it's just to assist the mage of Cangxuan Pavilion to familiarize himself with the terrain of Qingtong Valley, you go over and go through the motions, and let the deputy general stay over there later, you can find an excuse to come back." Jinglin said apologetically.
Xuan Shao shrugged his shoulders and had no choice but to agree.
This time, in addition to jointly developing the wind source magic energy of Qingtong Valley with Cangxuan Pavilion, Xizhao also received the magic support of Yunlang Kingdom, which has a long-term research on wind magic, so the signing ceremony was held in the Qiyue Hall of Cangxuan Pavilion, and the representatives of the three parties attended together.
Chiqiong, who was also very concerned about the wind source magic of Xizhao Qingtong Valley, sent Mu Yunmo to the signing ceremony of Cangxuan Pavilion to inquire about the news, and when he came to Cangxuan Pavilion, Mu Yunmo learned that the envoy sent by Xizhao Fang this time was Xuan Shao.
Xuan Shao... It's been a long time since I've seen him. Mu Yunmo paced around the door, hesitating whether to go in, but inadvertently glanced in from outside the door, but at this glance, she saw the figure of Xuan Shao in the house, and finally she quietly walked in.
Before the ceremony began, Xuan Shao sat in the audience in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mu Yunmo found a side position in the back row, and at this angle he could just see half of Xuan Shao's side face. Looking at Xuan Shao from afar, Mu Yunmo couldn't help but wonder, it was really rare to see his appearance, Xuan Shao was wearing a moon-white cloud brocade robe at this moment, which made his tall and sturdy figure more perfect, but I don't know why, Mu Yunmo is still more accustomed to seeing him wearing armor and robes on the battlefield.
While Mu Yunmo was still pondering, the ceremony began, and Xuan Shao slowly stood up and walked towards the stage. Suddenly, the woman next to Xuan Shao, who also got up and was about to go on stage, seemed to have tripped over the corner of her skirt and stumbled, Xuan Shao quickly grabbed her hand and held her before she was about to fall. Dai Xue turned around and smiled gratefully at Xuan Shao, picked up the corner of her skirt with one hand, but did not let go of Xuan Shao's palm with the other hand, and slowly walked towards the stage. Xuan Shao was stunned, and just as he was about to let go of his hand, Dai Xue suppressed his voice and said, "I seem to have broken my foot." So he had to help Dai Xue onto the stage.
And Mu Yunmo, who had been staring at Xuan Shao, found that there was a woman sitting next to him. The two of them held hands lightly, walked up to the stage until they sat down, all of this was imprinted in Mu Yunmo's heart, and the lights in Qiyue Hall, which were not strong, were so dazzling in Mu Yunmo's eyes at this time.
At this time, the conversation between the two magicians of Cangxuan Pavilion sitting in a row in front of Mu Yunmo caught her attention.
"Hey, do you know, Xuan Shao's mother, Mrs. Xuan, said to the outside world a few days ago that Dai Xue is the future daughter-in-law she personally selected."
"Really? Ay... If it's true, you won't be able to see Senior Sister Daixue in Cangxuan Pavilion soon. ”
"Naturally, it's true, Xuan Shao and Dai Xue, one is a general from the Xizhao family, and the other is a closed disciple of our Cangxuan Pavilion Master, from appearance to identity, they are really a good match."
Who was speaking on the stage, Mu Yunmo had no intention of listening, and she didn't have the courage to look at Xuan Shao again, at this moment she just wanted to get out of here quickly, so she stood up and walked towards the gate of Qiyue Hall.
At this time, after the signing was completed, Xuan Shao, who was about to step down, noticed the figure walking out of Qiyue Hall, and in the blur, he always felt that the figure that had just walked out was very familiar, it seemed to be...
"Is that her? Or is it just a hallucination of yourself? Xuan Shao muttered in his heart.
After the ceremony, Xuan Shao and Dai Xue set off for Qingtong Valley with a team of soldiers and magicians.
Xuan Shao got on the horse, and when he pulled the reins, he found that Chasing Ying kept barking with his head tilted, Xuan Shao turned his head and found that Dai Xue was walking towards him, and her steps didn't seem to be very flexible.
Dai Xue affectionately touched Chasing Shadow's head and said to Xuan Shao: "It seems that Chasing Shadow likes me very much!" ”
Chasing images is like being able to understand human words, making a cry of joy, and leaning his head close to Daixue.
"My foot is sprained, and it's really inconvenient to ride a horse alone, do you mind if I ride with you, General Xuanshao?" Dai Xue raised her face.
Looking at the reaction of chasing the shadow, Xuan Shao did not refuse, nor did he think much about it, reached out and pulled Dai Xue onto the horse, and then raised his hand to make a gesture, and the well-trained soldiers immediately lined up and followed Xuan Shao to the destination.
However, at this time, if Xuan Shao looked back, he would see Mu Yunmo standing in the woods at the foot of the mountain, witnessing everything.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire Qimang Mountain and Mu Yunmo's smooth long hair with a faint gold, but this incomparably beautiful scenery still couldn't hide the sadness in Mu Yunmo's eyes.
"Maybe she's your best choice, maybe it's the best ending for you and me."
It was almost winter, the night came very early, and the cold was coming, Xuan Shao's army had traveled half the way, he looked at the sky and the soldiers were not very warm clothes, and decided to stop camping for a night, and then continue the journey the next day.
The soldiers set up simple tents, lit bonfires, and sang Xizhao folk songs while eating dry food, although this folk song did not seem to be so beautiful to sing in the soldiers' mouths, but the melody and enthusiasm of this hometown were always so contagious, and Xuan Shao gently followed along while drinking.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xuan Shao suddenly remembered that Dai Xue, who was traveling with her, should be very unaccustomed to this, and she should disdain to talk and eat with the soldiers. However, when he looked up to find Dai Xue's figure, he was shocked, Dai Xue was learning folk songs with the soldiers in an unfamiliar tune, and she stood up and danced with a few soldiers when she sang.
Perhaps sensing Xuan Shao's gaze, Dai Xue stopped dancing and walked towards Xuan Shao.
"Why do you keep staring at me with that strange gaze? Something on me? ”
