Chapter Ninety-Seven: Tangled
Xia Zimo was completely speechless, what could she say if she was her mother?
Xia Zimo smiled and talked about other topics, and the others were also very interested in not delving into what happened just now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Xu Tianyue quietly breathed a sigh of relief, this matter has finally passed.
Xu Qianfeng took advantage of the situation to come to Ouyang Ying's side and gave him a gift that had been prepared a long time ago-a wooden sword-which he had made with his own hands.
He had wanted to find an unopened sword, but he always felt that it was inappropriate to think about it.
Even if the sword is unopened, it is still a little dangerous to use it for children to play, and Xiaomo should not lack anything at home, so it is a gift to give a heart, and it should be most appropriate to make a wooden sword by hand.
The sword was about a foot long, and had a scabbard made of the same kind of wood; The scabbard is carved with a tiger ready to attack in the jungle, which is vivid; When he drew his sword, he saw that the blade was smooth, and a cluster of red tassels hung from the hilt: everywhere you could see that this gift was heartfelt.
Xia Xin'er took it on behalf of Ouyang Ying with a smile and said, "When Ying'er is older, it can be used." β
Duanmu Li, Zhong Lixue, and Cang Qi saw that Xu Tianfeng could still sit in this posture, and they all ran to offer the prepared gifts, but there was a Xu Tianfeng in front of them, and their gifts were not very outstanding.
Although Duanmu Li's jade pendant is valuable, it is a bit clichΓ©. Zhong Lixue's drums and puppets were also quite loved by Ouyang Ying, which made him giggle on the spot.
Cang Qi's longevity lock was very exquisite, but it was still not as good as the one hanging around Ouyang Ying's neck. However, how can a mother be too much of a long-lived lock, so she took it and hung it on Ouyang Ying's neck on the spot.
A few people said some words of blessing, which were generally about the future and the blessings.
Ouyang Chen drank a few glasses, and was a little drunk with this harmonious beauty, and took Xia Xin'er back to the room to rest with Ouyang Ying in his arms.
The protagonist leaves, and several people look at each other in the moonlight, and return to their respective rooms together.
On the second day, just after dawn, a figure jumped into Cangqi's room through the window.
Cang Qi and Xu Tianfeng in the room both opened their eyes violently, because the two of them were facing backs, so they didn't realize that the other party had woken up.
Qingtian tiptoed to the side of the bed and whispered, "Cangqi, come with me." As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Tianfeng, who was sleeping outside.
Cang Qi heard the sound of the clear sky and immediately turned over and got out of bed.
Clear Sky pointed to the window, and Cang Qi put on his clothes and rushed out of the window with understanding.
Qingtian followed closely behind, but stopped at the window, looked back at Xu Qianfeng again, smiled brightly, and then chased Cangqi and disappeared with him.
Xu Tianfeng opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at the window with a frown......
Cang Qi didn't come back until noon, and everyone didn't seem to realize that he had been missing all morning, and they didn't ask him anything, only Xia Zimo said lightly: "You're back." β
At dinner, Duanmu Li mentioned the affairs in the army and expressed a certain degree of concern.
Ouyang Chen smiled lightly and was silent, and Xia Zimo squinted at him silently.
Xu Tianfeng was a little anxious, the most important thing of this trip has not been done so far, but now he mentioned the matter of leaving. He pondered as he struggled with how to get those words out. He unconsciously smacked the rice, thinking: Could it be that he directly said, "Your son promised to marry my sister, what does the second elder think?" β
Surely this will not work! But...... If it's beating around the bush...... In case it is misinterpreted......
Xu Qianfeng's brows tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and after repeating this a few times, he suddenly put down his chopsticks, and just when everyone thought he would say something, he picked up the rice again.
Xu Tianfeng glared at Xia Zimo viciously across the bowl, and said secretly: It's all caused by this bastard boy, and this should be what he said.
He looked at the moon again, and said in his heart that she fell in love with such a man, I don't know if it was her blessing or calamity!
Among the three people from Xuanyuan Kingdom, Zhong Lixue was the most calm, just because he didn't have any burden. He was neither a prince nor a general, but the situation required him and was given the status of deputy general. He doesn't have a strong sense of responsibility, he is not interested in everything in Xuanyuan Kingdom, and most of his previous actions are because of "being in his position and seeking his government"!
His position is somewhat similar to Cangqi's, and while recognizing his true heart, he has already made a certain degree of planning for his future life.
He clenched his fists and stared at Xia Zimo hotly, his originally pure white and cold world was only colored because of Xia Zimo's intrusion, so where Xia Zimo was, he would be there!
Duanmu Li frowned, he didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, no one would stand up and speak. He sighed, if he could, he didn't want to mention leaving, but there was no way, they had been out of the army for three days.
There are no impermeable walls in the world, and no matter how perfect the secrecy they do when they leave, it is impossible to escape all the eyes that stare at them. Three days is already the limit, I believe that many people can't sit still in these three days! They don't know what kind of turmoil they have stirred up in the capital.
It's not that he doesn't believe in his father's ability to handle things, it's just that he doesn't want to cause him too much trouble. And there is always a chance in the world......
He made it clear and said, "I'm going to leave tomorrow." He then said to Xu Tianfeng and Zhong Lixue, "Do you want to go back together?" β
When this question was clearly asked, the two of them were obviously stunned, and they both groaned, thinking about how to speak.
They are all people who do not want to leave, but they have to face the reality that things in the army really cannot be delayed any longer.
The two glanced at each other, and finally looked at Xia Zimo, her attitude would greatly affect their decision.
Seeing this, Duanmu Li's eyes lit up, and he also looked at Xia Zimo.
Xia Zimo pursed her lips slightly, and said in her belly: What does this have to do with her? Why did you look at her all the time?
Ouyang Chen always looked at all this with a smile on his face, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more weird.
Xia Zimo shook his body and said, "Tomorrow, I'll let Qingtian send you back!" She thought: It's okay for these people to stay here, so it's better to get out of here.
Duanmu Li's heart instantly fell to the bottom. He longed, hoped that Xia Zimo could keep him, even if he knew that such a possibility was very small, but he would still hold that expectation.
Did he do something wrong?
Maybe...... Maybe he shouldn't have said that! So...... Could it be that if he didn't say it, they could continue to stay at such a leisurely pace?
β¦β¦ It can't be! He has a responsibility on him, and this is a fate that cannot be escaped.
He closed his eyes in pain, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, desperately forgot the deep pain, and then opened them...... Everything is a thing of the past, and he chooses to move forward.
He looked at Xia Zimo with a light smile and said, "Then it's troublesome." β
Ouyang Chen finally stopped smiling, he took a deep look at Duanmu Li, and then looked at Xia Zimo, his eyes were dark and deep, he frowned, and soon let go, with a smile on his face again. There are some things that he shouldn't take care of, and it's also a good choice to sit and watch the plot develop.
Regarding Duanmuli's changes, Xia Zimo was not indifferent, but ...... There are some things that should not be forced...... Their reunion again happened at the wrong time.
Xia Zimo tightly held his left hand hidden in his sleeve. Maybe they won't have a chance again! If this is something that has been set a long time ago, then no matter how painful she is, she will accept it calmly.
Zhong Lixue raised his eyes and glanced at Duanmu Li and returned to calm, even if he died here immediately, it would not arouse his interest in the slightest. He would only think about what to do to erase the last trace so that Xia Zimo would not be implicated in the slightest.
Xu Tianfeng is now thinking about his sister's affairs, how can he have the kung fu to manage Duanmu Li's thoughts. He's still struggling with his sister's family affairs!
Xu Qianyue saw it quite clearly, she tugged on Xia Zimo's sleeve and asked, "Xiao Mo is going with us?" "It's not for Duanmuli, it's for her brother.
"Nope." Xia Zimo shook her head, Xia Xin'er was so sad because she left, how could she make her sad again?
Xu Tianyue blurted out: "Then I ......" also stayed. Before the words were fully spoken, she suddenly realized that maybe her willful stay would cause trouble to Xiao Mo!
Xiao Mo is a man in the eldest brother's heart, she lives alone in a man's house as a woman, and the eldest brother should not agree! Maybe it will make the eldest brother dissatisfied with Xiao Mi, so Xiao Mo's chance of becoming her sister-in-law will soon be less?
No way! This is absolutely not a no-go!
Thinking of this, the words that were about to be uttered suddenly became: "Then I'd better leave!" β
