Thank you for the peace charm rewarded by Sister Haimeng in the years, Mo Da!

"As long as we firmly grasp the four issues of border defense, agriculture, commerce and trade, and integrity, there will be no major problems on the side of Xi for the time being. A year later, the courtiers will immediately deploy the next plan, and the conditions for those plans will be ripe at that time. Xizhen said to Emperor Guangzhao.

"What kind of plan is it? Can you tell me about it beforehand? Emperor Guangzhao asked hurriedly.

Everyone has the idea of prevention, although Xi Zhen has made sufficient preparations and prevention work, but no one dares to guarantee that she will be able to return safely in the country, rather than waiting until that time to ask her for a clever plan, it is better to put that clever plan in your pocket now.

Emperor Guangzhao thought so.

"It's useless to have that clever plan now, because it needs the presence of the courtiers, so let's wait for the courtiers to come back." Xi Zhen said.

Emperor Guangzhao did not force it again.

Judging from her tone, she should be very confident in her trip.

Then he doesn't need to worry too much.

"Yes, I also hope that you will do a good job over there and return safely. I'm not used to your departure, and it will be another year before I hear your piano. ”

"Your Majesty, do you remember Miss Jiang who was the pianist of the Xiyi Pavilion at the time? Her piano skills are not comparable to those of her courtiers, and the emperor may wish to invite her if he wants to listen to the piano. "Xi Zhen Jian yì said.

Emperor Guangzhao's eyes lit up and said, "Indeed." Indeed, I suddenly forgot, huh. I'll invite her when I want to listen to the piano. ”

As he spoke, Emperor Guangzhao couldn't help but think in his heart: "Did she take this issue into account when she recommended Miss Jiang to enter the palace?" If so, her ability to strategize is simply too great. ”

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but glance at the delicate woman in front of him a few more times, and although he had known her for so long, he realized that although he already trusted her, she did not let him see through her.

But. It is undeniable that her efforts for the Xi Kingdom are obvious to all, and she deserves his respect for this alone. Therefore, he also followed the principle of 'employing people without suspicion, and suspecting people without suspicion', and no longer made more speculations and doubts about her.

…………………

When I learned that Xi Zhen was going to go to the country for a year and was carrying such a difficult task. Jiang Weibai is not only proud of her, but also worried about her. When I came to say goodbye to her, I couldn't hold back my tears when we just met.

"You must come back, but don't be tired!" Jiang Weibai hugged her tightly and said. provoked Du Qiniang, Ji Yuelian and Xiang'er, who had just cried, couldn't help but wet their eyes with tears.

"Big brother will probably be able to come back the night after tomorrow, please rest assured, and please take care of yourself." Xizhen smiled and looked at everyone.

"Take care of yourself." Du Qiniang held her hand tightly and said, Ji Yuelian and Xiang'er also stepped forward and held her hand tightly, and the four of them hugged each other.

"I know I'm stupid, but I'll say a few words: we're all waiting for you to come back, so please make sure you come back safely." Pepper stood less than a foot away from her, looked at her and said solemnly.

She immediately nodded solemnly at him.

"I will. In the future, the family will rely on you to help take care of them. Xizhen looked at Pepper and Xiang'er and said.

"That's nature. Don't worry, besides, don't be forced to stay there, don't forget that King Qingping has been waiting for you. Pepper said again.

"I know." Xi Zhen said. Saying this, she suddenly realized that it was time to say goodbye to King Qingping, because she would have to leave Xi early tomorrow morning.

Now that the sun is setting, the sky is getting dark, and I don't know if he will come.

"If he doesn't come, I'll go, and before I leave, I have to meet him, and we have to say goodbye." She said to herself.

Immediately, she asked Pepper to prepare the horse.

"I'm going to Houwang's Mansion." She said to Pepper.

"Okay, but it's getting dark, it's not safe for you to go alone, I'll escort you over." Pepper said.

"Okay."

The two immediately rode out the door.

Not long after they walked out, they saw Chu Zihou who was rushing here.

The two of them hurriedly asked the horse to stop and wait for him to approach.

"I was about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come to me." Chu Zihou said to her, jumped off the horse and walked towards her.

"I want to say goodbye to you." Hee Zhen said, and jumped off the horse.

"I'm late because I'm preparing a present, I'm sorry!" He said sincerely.

"It's fine." Xi Zhen said.

"Look, how magnificent the last sunset on the horizon is!" Chu Zihou pointed to the sky and said. Hee-jin immediately looked in the direction he was pointing.

But seeing that in the distant mountains, a cloud that seemed to burn red was slowly descending towards the horizon, and the afterglow was so magnificent, thick and peaceful.

"It's beautiful!" Xi Zhen said sincerely.

"No matter how beautiful you are, you can't compare to you." Chu Zihou said with a smile.

Pepper knew that this was the time they spent together before saying goodbye, and said busily: "I'll go back first, you guys talk slowly." With that, he rode away immediately.

Chu Zihou took the piano from the horse, sat down on the big stone in front of her, and said to her, "I composed a song for you, please listen attentively now." ”

"Okay." Hee-jin, who heard this, immediately sat down directly across from him.

It is an extremely soft, serene, melodious and atmospheric song, which from the first sound can make people think of the morning light, and as the music unfolds, it is like a sunshine that opens the curtain of the day, and the whole world is bathed in hope and quiet beauty. The melody is sometimes melodious like the wind blowing, sometimes sweet like flowers blooming, Xizhen listens quietly, as if the whole person is lying in the arms of his lover, there is no more tension, fear and wandering, only the comfort and tranquility of the whole body.

As the melody progresses, it slowly changes from soft to warm, as if the sun has risen, the mist has steamed, the flowers have bloomed, everything in the world has awakened, and everywhere is a scene of vitality.

Then, she seemed to hear the wind on the sea and the call of seabirds, and immediately felt a sense of freedom to fly in the wind. The melody then followed by the sound of birds crossing the forest and the sound of gentle swaying between the trees in the mountains, and finally like a murmuring stream of water brushing through her heart, nourishing every nerve and sweeping away all the tiredness in her heart.

She listened to it with great happiness, tears of emotion swirling in her eyes.

In the night, he couldn't see her expression clearly, but he felt her touch.

"Do you like it?" He put down the harp and walked over to her.

"I love it, I love it, thank you!"

"It's called "Morning Light Song", which is about a couple of people who love each other who wake up from the morning light, snuggle up to each other and stand by the window looking at the scenery outside - they feel extremely peaceful, warm and happy in their hearts." He said the sound was more magnetic in the night.

Hee Zhen stood up, stretched out his hands, and threw them into his arms.

Nothing was said, nothing was needed, and the two hugged each other tightly.

"Promise me, no matter what, you will come back in a year, and I will wait for you here." He said as he kissed her.

"Okay, I promise you." She responded. The hands strengthened the grip on him.

"If you have to stay there for some other reason, then I will rush to the country of the ball and bring you back." He said, holding her head again and kissing her deeply.

Tears welled up in Xizhen's eyes again, and he said, "Okay, for your heart, I will not only come back, but also come back with a better self than now, you just have to wait." ”

"I believe in you, you've always impressed me so much."

Xizhen suddenly cried, she didn't know why she was crying so fiercely, was it because she thought that she was about to leave him? Or are you terrified of the unknown future and the challenges ahead? Maybe both. Anyway, as soon as the tear box is opened, it can no longer be contained.

So he reached out and quietly helped her wipe her tears, little by little, his movements were softer than that of a girl, as if he were holding a fragile treasure in his hand.

Then, he hugged her tightly in his arms, quietly and quietly enjoying the precious moment before parting.

If they could, they wished they would never be separated from each other again.

Just hugging each other like this, even if there is a big wind and rain in the world, they are not afraid.

However, they are both emotional and rational people, and they understand that they cannot ignore other things for the sake of personal happiness, so this parting is something they must face.

"I'll help take care of your family, you don't have to worry about it." He said.

"Uh-huh."

"Then, let's go, go without any obstacles, you just need to know that there are still some people here who love you deeply and are waiting for you to come back, and the rest of the qiē, please face it with the most natural mentality." He said.

Hee Zhen nodded heavily at him.

"I won't send you tomorrow morning, I'm not good at saying goodbye." He said again.

"Okay, I understand."

He kissed her the lips again, then jumped on his horse and galloped away.

She knew that this was his pretense to be chic, so that she would not leave with too many concerns.

The night had already darkened, and there was still a faint light between heaven and earth, and she could see his galloping horse.

Her gaze followed his figure for a long time, until she was completely out of sight, and then rode back to the direction of the Hou Mansion.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Xizhen and three entourages (Li Changsheng, Li Simu, and Wu Yu) set off from the palace and headed for the Qiuxi border.

From there, they will enter the country of the ball.

These three retinues were all carefully selected by Emperor Guangzhao and Shen Xizhen, and they were all outstanding envoys of the Xi Kingdom, who could help Xizhen in negotiations and daily affairs.

Six and a half days later, the group reached the Qiuxi border.

The people sent by the monarch of the ball country to greet him are already waiting here.

Shen Xizhen saw from a distance the telescopic bridge she designed, which was standing there like a circle at this time. (To be continued......)
