"If you want me to find someone to escort you to Naming Village to find Lu Shaoyun, or help you bring a message to Lu Shaoyun, then I hope you still don't speak. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The moment she took Xia Shuanghan from Li Qinglan's arms, Su Yixing, who knew that she would definitely make this request when she woke up, only felt that the feeling of discomfort in her heart became stronger and stronger. So, before Xia Shuanghan could open his mouth to propose, he took the first step to block back these words that he didn't want to hear.

"What do you mean, Su Shizi?" Xia Shuanghan, who was rejected by Su Yixing, couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart, she blinked a pair of big amber eyes blankly, and said eagerly: "Su Shizi, me and Tingxuan, we were separated due to the encirclement and suppression action of Qiuzi Mountain. Now, Ting Xuan can't find me, and he doesn't know whether I am alive or dead, so he must be in a hurry. In such a situation, I ask you to help me get in touch with him, is there anything that is not okay? ”

"You can't reach him, that's your business. He can't find you and he's in a hurry, that's his business. Why do I, who have no friendship with you, have to help you find him? ”

Su Yixing's loud and unkind refusal made Xia Shuanghan, who thought that he might be able to help him, was very stunned. Subsequently, realizing that he really had no friendship with him, and he really didn't need to help his Xia Shuanghan, he gave up his plan to ask Su Yixing for help.

"In that case, Su Shizi, if you don't want to help, then I won't be reluctant." Xia Shuanghan, who replied in his heart, "Do you think that if I leave you, I won't be able to go to Tingxuan", he lifted the quilt and got out of bed wearing his middle coat and pants.

"What are you doing? I just told you that your chills are getting worse, don't you understand? Looking at Xia Shuanghan, who had a high fever last night and the heat had not completely subsided, Su Yixing, who was directly stepping on the cold ground, and felt inexplicably angry at her behavior of not caring for her body, pushed her back to the bed and said: "Even if the brazier is burning in the house, I am still worried that you will be cold, and this is how you repay my care and care for you?!" ”

"Huh, ridiculous!" Xia Shuanghan, who was pushed down on the bed by Su Yixing and tightly covered by the quilt, laughed angrily, "Su Shizi, I don't know who said that there is no friendship between us just now. Then I have to ask, since there is no friendship between us, what do you care if I am afraid of the cold? ”

"......" stared down at Su Yixing, who was unable to answer her question for a while, and was speechless.

"Su Shizi, I don't have a problem if you don't want to help me find Tingxuan, but can't I go to him myself?" Xia Shuanghan, who was bound in the quilt but still struggling, said indignantly: "Su Shizi, although I thank you for saving your life, don't forget, my body is mine, my life is also mine, what I want to do, how to do it, it is not your turn to interfere." So now, please let me go. ”

"Ha, if I just don't let go, what can you do to me? Don't say that you have inconvenient legs and feet and weak physique now, even if your limbs are intact and your body is healthy, I won't let you go, do you think you can escape from the palm of my hand? ”

"What nerves are you experiencing?" Xia Shuanghan, who was firmly suppressed in the quilt, resisted to no avail, and finally had no choice but to give up the powerless struggle. "Su Shizi, can you just be a little bit, what do you want to do with me under house arrest here, can you give me a happy word?"

...... "I don't want to do anything, I just don't want you to go to Lu Shaoyun, can I tell you such a ridiculous reason?" Apparently not.

So in this way, Su Yixing, who still couldn't figure out his emotional problems, was silent for a moment, and then put down the sentence "Have a good rest", turned around and walked out.

When the tiger girl who stepped into the door again to take care of Xia Shuanghan and handed her a bowl of thick black decoction that invigorated blood and dispelled blood stasis, although Xia Shuanghan was puzzled by Su Yixing's current behavior, she still drank it without hesitation.

Su Yixing won't harm her, that's for sure. Otherwise, there was really no need for him to go to great lengths to get her back and take care of her. As for why he trapped her here and didn't allow her to get in touch with Lu Shaoyun, this question, when she accumulates some strength, she will definitely go to him to figure things out.

He had made up his mind to take care of his body's Xia Shuang Han as effectively as possible before Su Yixing appeared in this room next time, and soon after taking the medicine, he ate again and moved his muscles and bones properly. Subsequently, Xia Shuanghan, who cooperatively accepted the acupuncture treatment that Dr. Qin performed for her next, calmed down and seriously thought about her situation.

Thinking back to the last time she met Su Yixing, although Xia Shuanghan clearly remembered that she couldn't figure out what he was doing in Yuelai Inn, there was no grievance between them, and the relationship between them was true.

In other words, what happened to her now should have little to do with her own reasons. Since this is the case, it is not because of her, could it be said that the reason is actually due to Lu Shaoyun?

When Xia Shuanghan was at the Yuelai Inn, he asked Lu Shaoyun if he needed to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Su Yixing's true intention to learn about their trip to Naming Village. In response to her inquiry at that time, although Lu Shaoyun said that she didn't need to worry, Xia Shuanghan believed that in order to prevent an accident in the latent plan and die halfway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have done something to Su Yixing.

So could it be that it was because of this "what she did" that she didn't know the specific situation that Su Yixing would put her under house arrest now, torturing Lu Shaoyun's mind as a spiritual revenge? However, this conjecture is too child's play, right?

After thinking about it, he still couldn't understand what Su Yixing wanted to do to her, so he finally gave up thinking and began to try his best to extract everything about Su Yixing in the past few months from Hu Niu's mouth. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, it's time for her to get to know Su Yixing well.

From the mouth of the tiger girl who took care of her, Xia Shuanghan didn't know much about Su Yixing. To sum up, there are actually only two things.

First, Su Yixing and Liu Zirun have been busy with corruption cases since they arrived at Jiuping Iron Mine in November last year. Second, as the temporary deputy county guard, Su Yixing, once he waits for the successor officials sent from the capital, he will immediately set off to rush back to the capital.

"These two pieces of news are useless to me at the moment." At dusk, Xia Shuanghan, who confirmed that he could no longer get useful information from the tiger girl, gave up thinking with dinner. At the same time, Lu Shaoyun, who was thinking about her, was on the way to Tongchengguan to find her.

At dawn on February 16, Lu Shaoyun, who had drunk decoction and wrapped up wounds, and rested all night, although his body was still weak, he was still burning with a raging flame in his heart, as long as he thought of the fact that "Xia Shuanghan was still alive", he felt that his heart was full of strength.

The final part of the encirclement and suppression operation launched on the 15th was completed at dusk of the same day. So, Lu Shaoyun, who handed over the matter of escorting the criminals into the customs to Han Ling, together with several old comrades-in-arms who proposed to help him find his fiancée, left the Chuz realm and stepped on the official road to enter the customs.

It took two days and one night on the road, and at dusk on February 17, Lu Shaoyun, who was anxiously coming to Tongcheng Pass, finally made peace with Lin Xiran, who had arrived in the town one step ahead and had already searched for the summer frost in many ways in the town.

"What? You say you can't find it? "Tongcheng military camp, in a certain barracks where Lin Xiran temporarily stayed, Lu Shaoyun, who was now weak due to excessive blood loss two days ago, heard the disappointing news that "Xia Shuanghan was not found", and his face instantly turned pale to the extent of a dead corpse. "Where have you looked, how did you find it, say it, and we'll sum it up together."

"Okay, but you drink this first." Lin Xiran, who had a serious expression, pushed the blood and qi nourishing decoction on the table, and only after Lu Shaoyun raised his head and drank it completely before continuing: "According to the soldiers who entered the mountain with you a few days ago and witnessed Frost Han fall into the deep ditch, before he was separated from you, Frost Han's back and left leg were already injured. ”

"Therefore, when I found the traces of frost and cold on the bank of the river at the fork in the road the day before yesterday, I decided that even if she did not add new wounds after falling into the deep ditch, the person who saved her from the wolf's mouth could only choose to take her to Kannai for medical treatment if he wanted to save her life. What's more, the footprints, bloodstains, and ruts not far away left at the scene all showed that they had indeed entered the customs, so I didn't say a word, and went straight to the customs with the soldiers. ”

"After entering the city, we questioned the soldiers guarding the city gates, and then ran all over the city's medical halls, pharmacies, inns, and inns, but until now, none of the people we have questioned have seen a wounded young Rong girl."

"Where are the frosty clothes you found by the creek, and the feathered arrows that shot the wolf? Take it for me to see. Lu Shaoyun, who didn't let go of any objects related to Xia Shuanghan and tried to find clues on them, quickly took over the items handed to him by Lin Xiran.

The clothes stained with mottled blood stains were torn in many places, which showed how many scratches and bumps Xia Shuanghan suffered in the drifting all the way. The production process is relatively rough, and at first glance, it is a feather arrow made by the local border people, and it cannot provide more clues for Lu Shaoyun. After all, no one knows whether this is a commodity for the border people's own use or sold in the bazaar.

"I don't understand," Lu Shaoyun, who couldn't find the usable clues from the remnants, closed his eyes in a dejected manner, forced himself to calm down and analyzed: "Since Frost Cold has been brought into the city, then if she can't find her in the inn, she should be in the middle of a private house." However, after the residents of the town took her in, it was impossible not to ask for medical advice for her, after all, the doctors in the city who are familiar with the art of Qihuang have already visited her. So, since she doesn't run a medical center and pharmacy and saved the frosty people, why don't you hire a doctor for her? ”

"I've also thought about this question, so I thought about it, will it be a traveling doctor who doesn't sit in the hall to treat frost and cold?"

Knowing that the reason why Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan had a marriage contract was entirely because of Xia Shuanghan's grandfather, Lin Xiran, who was the grandfather of the traveling doctor, said: "After all, it is not impossible for a family that is willing to afford such a big wolf and does not want it, and the family is so wealthy that there is a vacant house, so it is not impossible to accept the traveling doctor for a temporary stay." Therefore, today, I and my soldiers went to many wealthy homes with open yards to inquire about who had a traveling doctor or who had a seriously ill or seriously wounded person. It's just that we haven't been able to find any trace of Frost before sunset tonight. ”

"Hey!" Hearing this, Lu Shaoyun, who sighed heavily, comforted himself: "No matter what, as long as Shuang Han is still alive, then she can't lose it." After all, as long as she recovers and has the strength to spare, she will definitely find a way to get in touch with me. And if she is still unconscious because of her serious injuries, then the person who rescued her will not be able to leave Tongcheng Pass with her like that. So, as long as I am willing to look for it, sooner or later, I will definitely find her. ”

Just walked out of the shadow of "death farewell" and fell into the whirlpool of "life and separation", Lu Shaoyun only felt that his chest was stagnant and painful. But even though his emotions were on the verge of collapse several times, he knew that only by being calm could he find Xia Shuanghan as soon as possible, so he still used reason to control himself.

"Xiran, you have worked hard in many ways in the past few days." Lu Shaoyun, who never spoke politely between good brothers, said this, took out a letter from Baliya to Lin Xiran from his arms, handed it over, and said: "When you left the village a few days ago, because you left in too much hurry, you had a lot of words, I believe you didn't have time to explain it carefully and clearly to Uncle Hazlu's family, especially Baliya. ”

"So, I've gone over and added something they should know but you didn't say. As for the follow-up to your marriage to Baliya, this letter should have written it all. ”

From the two different explanations of Lin Xiran and Lu Shaoyun, Yehong's family has a general understanding of the "hidden trio", "Xia Shuanghan's disappearance" and "the development of the encirclement and suppression operation". Although the family was shocked and regretted by what had happened to Ugal, they fully understood the position of the latent trio, and did not feel any resentment about their being kept in the dark.

Ye Hong's family, who knew that Lin Xiran's concealment and disguise were needed for official business, all supported him and Baliya to continue their relationship after learning his true identity and situation. However, due to the busy schedule of both men and women, they wanted to meet again until the caravan arrived in the capital in mid-April.

After folding the letter that he had read three times, Lin Xiran, who believed in his heart that he and Baliya would definitely be able to get married before the end of this year, carefully put the letterhead into his arms. Turning his head to look at Lu Shaoyun, who was worried about Xia Shuanghan's disappearance, Lin Xiran, who believed that they would be able to find her soon, would not have thought that finding someone was far more difficult than they thought.

On February 18, Xia Shuanghan, who had never been able to talk to him face-to-face since he saw Su Yixing on the day he woke up, has been completely placed under house arrest in the backyard of the office.

The high fever has subsided, the external injuries have healed, but the summer frost and cold, who is still afraid of cold and has visual impairment, is now not only guarded during the day, but also restrained by people sleeping in the night.

She doesn't have the right to step out of the small courtyard where she is, except for Su Yixing, who can't see the head and the end of the dragon, she has only seen Li Qinglan, Doctor Qin and Hu Niu in the office.

In addition to the three of them, the few other people who knew that Xia Shuanghan was rescued by Su Yixing had already been given a death order by Su Yixing to "not pass on the matter of Miss Xia". Anyone who might have had contact with Xia Shuanghan in the office was also ordered by Su Yixing: "It is not allowed to help Miss Xia get in touch with anyone from the outside world." ”

In this way, although Xia Shuanghan was anxious and eager to immediately put on her wings and fly to Lu Shaoyun's side, she was strictly controlled by Su Yixing, but there was no way to get out of her current predicament except to wait while recuperating from her injuries.

Thinking back to the several contacts he had with Su Yixing, which could be counted with a slap, Xia Shuanghan, who had successfully threatened him with his own life and took him to Sanqingguan to find Lu Shaoyun, had indeed germinated the idea of threatening Su Yixing with his own life several times, in exchange for his own freedom.

But as the saying goes, Su Yixing, who was once threatened by Xia Shuanghan with life and death, could fall twice in the same pit?

So, before Xia Shuanghan could really put the idea of "threatening death" into practice, Li Qinglan passed the word on behalf of the master: "Miss Xia, the prince said that you will not seek death. With your father, your brother and your future husband in mind, are you willing to die? If you really didn't have the will to survive, you would have been unable to bear the cold and die thoroughly after soaking in the ice river for so long a few days ago. So, you better save your worries and don't spoil your body. ”

So in this way, in the face of such a Su Yixing, who couldn't fight, escape, or threaten, and couldn't use his identity to oppress him to bow his head, Xia Shuanghan, who had no idea at all, had to continue to calm down and take care of his body, and kept asking for a face-to-face conversation with Su Yixing.

In the warm bedroom with the brazier burning, Xia Shuanghan, who had been tossing all day and couldn't get out of the backyard of the office, had already fallen asleep after being lit to sleep. And Su Yixing, who closed the door, bypassed the screen, and quietly walked to Xia Shuanghan's bed, slowly sat down beside her.

Looking down at this girl who was still frowning and calling "Tingxuan, Tingxuan" even though she was in a dream, Su Yixing, who finally sorted out her mind, understood what she should do next.

Looking back on my mental journey in the past year since I met Xia Shuanghan: the first time I saw her in "Spring in the Pear Garden", the fleeting pity outside the Weirui Garden, the curiosity and playfulness in the carriage, the contempt and anger on the painting boat of Lin Zehu, the shock and unbearability in the Sanqing Temple, the covetousness and reluctance in the Yuelai Inn, the worry and heartache in the ice and snow, the embarrassment and retreat in the early morning before yesterday, the jealousy and envy of Lu Shaoyun now, and the worry about her in the days when I couldn't see her, and the joy of trying in every possible way to hear her deeds from the mouths of her friends......

All this, Su Yixing, who has never had so many emotions because of anyone since he was a child, finally realized the fact that "he likes Xia Shuanghan".

What emotions such as "just watch the person you love happy", Su Yixing couldn't understand it when he asked himself. Therefore, in the twenty-three years since he was born, Su Yixing, who finally had a favorite woman, thought that it would be absolutely impossible to let Xia Shuanghan stay by his side if he didn't snatch Xia Shuanghan over.

It's just that it is obviously not easy to make Xia Shuanghan his own woman, no matter how you look at it.

According to the etiquette of the Han people, in the matter of "parents' orders", Xia Hanlin and Lu Guogong had already decided on the marriage between the two families eighteen years ago. Referring to the tradition of the Rong people, in terms of "love between men and women", Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun have long been in love with each other, and they cannot tolerate a third person to intervene. Therefore, Su Yixing, who can't take advantage of the same "time, place, and people", wants to interfere from the outside and stir up the marriage of Huang Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun, which is obviously not so easy.

However, although it cannot be attacked from the outside, it is feasible to disintegrate from the inside. The wife of the prince, Xu, who was not satisfied with Xia Shuanghan, and Pei Huanting, who had always been impatient with Lu Shaoyun and had a soft spot for her, couldn't these two people be used by him? So......

"Xia Shuanghan, don't blame me!" Raising his hand to pick up Xia Shuanghan's strands of hair scattered on the pillow and wrap them around his fingers, Su Yixing, who had a malicious evil smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, muttered: "After all, instead of harming Lu Shaoyun, I also sent him a noble-born beauty, he really has no reason to be dissatisfied!" ”

After the words fell, he had already made up his mind that in the next month at least, Su Yixing, who would never let Xia Shuanghan meet Lu Shaoyun, took out a small porcelain bottle in his sleeve pocket, shook out a pill, and fed Xia Shuanghan in his sleep......

In the morning light sprinkled by the morning sun, the summer frost that had already automatically untied the sleeping hole woke up from sleep. Blinked his eyes that were still not very clear blankly, raised his hand to the dressing room, and Xia Shuanghan only felt that there was an elegant aroma in the warm room.

"Girl, are you awake?" Before Xia Shuanghan woke up, the tiger girl who had already prepared the toiletries for her for time heard the sound behind the screen and walked around quickly. "Girl, haven't you been clamoring to see your adult for the past two days? He's here, and he's waiting to have breakfast with you! ”

"Su Yixing is here? Is he finally willing to talk to me? Xia Shuanghan, who thought so in his heart, finished washing, put down the cloth towel that wiped his face in his hand, and then walked quickly around the screen, walked out of the curtain partition, and came to the round table placed in the outer room.

At the same time, the tiger girl, who felt that she should leave a space for Su Yixing and Xia Shuanghan to be alone, quietly withdrew. (To be continued.) )
