The thick-armed man was stunned for a moment, and he seemed a little confused about being abruptly interrupted by this cool man, but he was stirring the hot pot again in an instant.

The porcelain cup on the table rotated a few times, clanged, and slowly stopped, all the tea juice in it spilled out, Zhen Yue lowered her eyes and fell into contemplation, she had not seen Qiu Sheng expose her emotions for many years, although he was light-hearted, but she just knew that he was angry, and it was suppressed anger.

"Did you sleep?" When it was close to the middle of the night, Zhen Yue still instructed Xiao Er to prepare a bowl of lily porridge, and when he had dinner in the evening, he suddenly returned to the room and only ate a few bites.

She knocked on the door a few more times, saw that no one answered, and finally thought about it, and pushed open the hidden door.

The room was dim and dark, surprisingly quiet, and only the sound of his own even breathing could be heard, Zhen Yue still caught the figure that merged with the darkness at a glance, as if if you didn't call him, he would dissolve with the darkness forever.

The cold moon is like a hook, quietly penetrating the room, and his back is low and distressing in the cold moonlight.

She put down the lily porridge, walked over lightly and said, "Ah Qiu, has something happened?" ”

It took a long time for the man to turn around, and his silhouette was hidden in the night, making it difficult to see, only the trills of his mouth revealed his sorrow: "Xiaoyue, let me hug it, okay?" "Spread your weak arms.

Zhen Yue was stunned, her heart began to hurt a little, she walked over and hugged him gently, the strength of her waist was neither light nor heavy, but she felt that this was all his strength.

"Ah Qiu, what's wrong with you?" Her cheek pressed against his cold chest.

Qiu Sheng's emaciated chin rested against her forehead, and he breathed heavily: "It's okay, it's good this way, thank you." ”

"You still don't want to tell me ......"

They are very familiar with each other, but they are very strange to each other, and there are many heart infarctions that cannot be crossed in the middle.

Qiu Sheng stepped up his hug for her, afraid that she would dissipate into the night like the wind, and his tone was unprecedentedly firm: "I'll tell you, expose everything I have in front of you, and wait, okay?" ”

A soft sigh overflowed from her lips, she understood his suffering, and a thoughtful person like him must have to reveal all the truth in the best possible way, which was both his strength and her helplessness.

In the end, she nodded slightly, raised her head and smiled brightly: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

Qiu Sheng only felt that all the dark clouds and hatred in his heart were in this gorgeous smile, and the strange smoke disappeared, this feeling made his heavy heart tremble slightly, and with a subtle throbbing spread all over his limbs.

The journey from Ye'an City to Linyang City was long, and the next day, Zhen Yue and the others hurriedly whipped up, not daring to stay for a moment, and it took two and a half days to arrive at Linyang City.

Approaching the middle of the night, the army of Xiao Ban patrolling was ready to fight, and the sound of iron armor grinding broke through the thick city wall from time to time, Zhen Yue and Qiu Sheng rested on a wide locust tree, there was still one day before Gu Yue's eleventh, and the time was just right for deployment and reconnaissance.

To the north of the Gobi in Linyang City are powerful nomadic people who live in pursuit of water and grass, and when the war for hegemony of the Zhou Dynasty came to an end, their names appeared for the first time in the history books - Xinu; They like to fight with horses, have a strong sense of aggression, and keep invading Linyang City, the border of Shu, and this year is a once-in-a-century snowstorm, the river is frozen, the grass and trees are exhausted, and they are short of supply, so they can only invade Shu and grab food.

A protracted war of resistance sounded on the border, and the general Lu Shang who guarded the border, repeatedly regained lost territory, is a famous anti-slave general in Shu, deeply loved by the people, his sister is a concubine, Lu Shang's identity and achievements are even more important in the court, and the folk are more spread "Ten thousand years of luck, there is a country with Lu army!" ”

This year's anti-slave campaign is particularly severe, the imperial capital sent the minister of the military supervision Fan Si to help, on the surface to express the heart of the king of Shu as a common enemy, in fact, some people understand that this is a defense supervision, so as not to Lu Shang to support the army and self-respect, after all, the master of the high merit has pierced the edge into the heart of the empire, but Lu Shang is deeply disgusted with the way of being an official, not tactful at all, and has set up a lot of enemy parties in the court.

The next day, Zhen Yue and Qiu Sheng entered the city and acted separately, and carefully inspected the capital protection mansion where Fan Si was staying.

"What do you think?" In the airtight inn, Qiu Sheng asked in a low voice.

Zhen Yue's eyes flashed with inspiration, like a black eagle at night: "Fan Si has always liked to eat tea, and he has to drink tea brewed by morning dew every morning, and when he chirps tomorrow, I will pretend to be a maid who delivers tea, and if there is an emergency, you will lead away the guards outside." ”

Qiu Sheng looked at her solemnly worriedly: "Are you sure ......." ”

"I'll kill him." Her tone was firm and unquestionable, and she continued: "Fan Si is full of money in the court, and he is the same as the eunuch Zhao Hai, this kind of person who gnaws the bones of the people is innocent, so don't worry about me, it's not the first time I've killed someone." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became dull, Qiu Sheng also felt that he was too worried, a smile overflowed from his chest, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

Zhen Yue twisted her eyebrows and said, "What are you laughing at, it doesn't seem to be a laugh." ”

Qiu Sheng patted her head: "I think it's cute to see your awkward appearance." The word cute was taught to Qiu Sheng when she was a child, and now when she describes herself, she can't help but be a little embarrassed, the two lives together are in their forties, and they are a little mischievous for a while.

Suddenly, her eyebrows bent, and she pinched the handsome face in front of her, as expected, her cheeks under her fingers were as stiff as wood, Zhen Yue looked at the man who was rarely stunned, and smiled: "I think it's cute to see your unguarded stunned appearance." After speaking, he patted the corner of his clothes with satisfaction, and left Qiu Sheng's bedroom like a spring breeze.

In the distance, the stunned Qiu Sheng slowly touched his right cheek, the residual temperature was still there, and the light fragrance of the woman's body was still wafting in the air, and the corners of his mouth were raised high, like a young man in the shower.

Before dawn, Zhen Yue left the inn where she was staying, she was as light as a swallow, and when the guards changed shifts, she was like a whirlwind black shadow that turned into the Duhu Mansion.

She hibernated in the flower room, waiting for the maid who came in to pick the morning dew, less than a cup of tea, the rustling footsteps from far to near, the woman seemed not to wake up, lowered her eyes and yawned, when she opened her eyes, her pupils widened, and her frightened eyes reflected an indifferent and delicate face.

The woman didn't have time to scream, only to feel a pain in her neck, then a burst of dizziness hit, fainted, Zhen Yue hooked the corners of her mouth, picked up the woman's clothes neatly with her hands and feet, and dressed up in the shortest time, lifted the bamboo basket on the ground, and walked out of the flower room with her head bowed and her eyebrows lowered.
