(843) Small gathering

- Mo Ye followed the graphic passages he memorized in his mind, and after thinking about it several times, he came up with a route that he thought was relatively safe. However, it didn't take long for her to feel that the scenery along the way seemed to be becoming more and more familiar.

It's strange that I haven't been to this place before!

Could it be that you have been misled by the wrong pen of a certain senior?

After a few long breaths, Mo Ye suppressed the anxiety that was gradually rising in his heart, and continued to walk patiently for a while. Then she realized that she was indeed on the wrong path, but she was very wrong.

Before she knew it, she was back in the place she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Yuxian, Shuyun Town, Xingjia Village...... These three locations, if drawn on a piece of paper, are connected to each other in a line, which is about a triangle. Mo Ye has lived in Xingjia Village for ten years, and although she is obviously not the heir of the Xing family's genealogy, this still does not affect her to regard that quiet small village as her hometown in her heart. The location of Lizheng Academy is in Yuxian County, where she has studied and lived for five years, and she is also familiar with the streets and alleys of Yuxian County.

As for Zhuyun Town, Mo Ye is relatively unfamiliar with it, but this strangeness is only relative to Xingjia Village and Yu County.

In addition to being used for official purposes, it has been gradually discovered that due to some special geographical reasons, the place occupied by this post station is also a concentration point for travelers from different directions. Then there were merchants with a discerning eye, who first built inns in this area, followed by horse-keepers, fruit sellers, iron-strikers, and vegetable sellers...... A lonely post station on a deserted road gradually gathered the scale construction of the town.

Zhuyun Town is not far from Yuxian County, so Mo Ye also had several opportunities to visit this place in the early years, all because he was invited by the senior brothers of the academy to be guests at their home in Zhiyun Town.

Standing in front of the inn at the head of the town, which had not changed much, Mo Ye looked around and couldn't help but sigh softly. Compared with three years ago, several more buildings have been built in the current town. There seem to be more pedestrians passing by.

In terms of geographical characteristics, within a radius of 100 miles, those from the west are to go east or south, and those from the southeast are to go west. There are only a few easy paths to take, and the one that runs through Stopping Cloud Town is the shortest. Shortening the distance is to shorten the travel time, and even save the loss on the road, this account is easy to calculate. With an unwavering notion of saving money and time, and the fact that the town has now expanded to a near-perfect supply area, people who travel long distances are certainly more willing to take this route.

The innkeeper first saw a young guest with crumpled clothes and messy hair in front of the door, and he didn't pay much attention to him. An ordinary tourist like this, or rather an ordinary one, should be a tourist who is so poor that he only has a few copper plates. Maybe you can't afford to live in a big inn like theirs, just look at it in front of the door and enjoy it.

However, when the innkeeper looked slightly away and saw the horse led by the poor tourist, his eyes lit up again!

Good horse!

But...... Look at this little brother's messy appearance. Can he afford to keep such a horse? Or was the horse stolen? That's not like, if it's a stolen horse, how can it be used to carry firewood? But the strange behavior of such a good horse for coolie work is even more inappropriate for its proper use......

Mo Ye's image at this time is indeed very problematic, if she doesn't make a sound, it will be really difficult for the people next to her to distinguish whether she is a white-faced young man. is still a young girl.

However, at this time, Mo Ye didn't have the time to care about what others thought of her, and she stood at the door of this inn, and she really didn't mean to live in it. It was only because she saw this familiar storefront that she further judged that she had indeed come to the familiar Zhiyun Town, not like the Wangzi Stone on the other side of Taihuan Mountain. On the map, there is a town boundary archway with the same name in a certain year.

After determining the correct location, Mo Ye led the black horse and groped his way to the store where the horse dealer was located in the town.

She's going to sell horses.

How long does it take to kill someone?

soon

Half an hour is enough.

How long does a dream take?

Maybe it's short, but maybe it's long.

A dream may look back on half a life.

When Cen Chi left the town where Lin Shan was located, it was still early but noon. And when he arrived in Shakou County, he planned to kill Gao Qian, and finally at the cost of half his life, he made a ruthless move, and finally succeeded in killing Gao Qian, and outside the bloody murder room, it was not yet dark.

When it suddenly rained heavily in Shakou County, and the sky was finally dark, although the sky was dark in the remote town where the forest cedars were located hundreds of miles away, there were no lacquer-colored rain clouds in the sky.

In the afternoon, after giving detailed instructions on the matter of clearing the bandit village, Lin Shan leaned on the recliner and fell asleep unconsciously, and there was no sign of waking up until it was dark.

Although Lin Shan had said before falling asleep that he had no appetite for food, Chen Jiu still went to the kitchen to get busy and carefully boiled a cup of warm soup. However, when she came back with the tonic soup, she saw that he was sleeping peacefully, and she refused to disturb it again, but put the soup bowl aside, dragged a stool and sat next to him, tilting her head slightly and staring at his face blankly, as if she had forgotten the outside world, and refused to move her eyes for a long time.

Since his trauma had largely healed a year earlier, her chances of being so close to him had been almost cut off.

In the past two years, although she has eaten and slept with him, and in the first three months of arriving here, he often needs to sit and lie down instead of lying flat to assist in the process of large-scale scalding and desaprophytic muscle behind him, so she is his "pillow", and skin kissing is really normal...... But unlike today, when she could only be alone and guard what she loved, now this man is finally willing to open his heart to her.

It's acceptance, it's a promise, it's a treasure she's been looking forward to.

Although this love was long and hard, when she finally reaped the fruits, she did not regret it at all, she only felt full of sweetness and steadfastness. She knew that his emotions were always accumulating so slowly, but once a certain promise was made by him, it had unquestionable weight and sincerity that would last a lifetime.

It's just that...... He's going to be gone for a while......

Although he made it clear that this time he left was only about a year delayed. And her reason told herself that compared to the thirteen years she had waited before, another year was not long. But at this moment, I looked at the calm sleeping face in front of me. She still couldn't help but feel a little anxious and sad, the next year seemed to be more difficult to wait for than thirteen years.

Maybe that's because she could only look at him from afar. I am not sure if I can achieve the fruit of happiness with him in this life, so no matter how much I think about it, I just have a thought in my heart. Now it's different, the love that I've been looking forward to for a long time has finally matured into her flower basket, so now she can't bear to part for a moment.

A woman's possessiveness for love is sometimes no weaker than that of a man.

I don't know how long she sat there, Chen Jiu felt a little tired, but she didn't get up to leave, but subconsciously leaned on Lin Shan's hand. There was still a hint of medicine on his sleeves. Holding the pen all the year round and the slender and well-proportioned fingers were half-hidden in the sleeves, Chen Jiu stared at this hand for a moment, and couldn't help but reach out and shake it gently.

Somewhat cool.

She sat up straight again, and gently grasped the wrist of the hand, tucking it into the sleeve of her coat. Then he tucked the blanket that Lin Cedar covered his body on the chaise longue.

Although she moved gently, Lin Shan, who was asleep, seemed to feel something, and her eyebrows, which were naturally stretched out because of her calm sleep, suddenly jumped, and she quickly returned to calm.

Seeing that his brows were furrowed, although it was only a momentary matter, Chen Jiu's mood still couldn't help but follow a trace of waves, and he hesitated slightly. Finally called softly: "San Lang? ”

Lin Shan's sleeping face was still peaceful, only with the sound of even breathing, his chest rising and falling slightly.

Chen Jiu quickly sat back on the stool, but at this moment her eyes stopped on the side of Lin Shan's face. If you don't think about it, his hair has changed color now, just look at his face, except that his complexion is a little lighter. He has also lost a lot of weight, but in fact, his face is still the same as before, and there is no sign of the middle-aged man's face gradually becoming looser.

This may be related to the fact that he has not been able to gain weight, and most of his daily affairs are carried out indoors and do not need to go out in the wind and sun...... But at the same time, the aging is clear. In recent years, his physique has been very depleted, and if she hadn't taken care of his diet and daily life for a long time, I'm afraid even she would have been deceived.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiu suddenly thought of the pair of red candles handed over to her by Wu Xue, the imperial physician who had been expelled by the Imperial Medical Bureau on the surface and actually came to the North with Lin Shan with a mission, and she couldn't help but feel a slight heat on her face.

The pair of red candles are not only used for lighting, but the mystery is actually in the wick.

The candle wick Tibetan medicine is not Liao Shi's work, but I am afraid that he is the only one in this world who dares to call the shots and give this pair of red candles to Chen Jiu.

It's just that Liao Shi was in a bit of a hurry, so before he could determine one thing, he left half a chess hand, and entrusted this plan to Wu Ze. When Wu Ze first learned of Liao Shi's plan, he was full of disbelief, but then he thought about it calmly, and he was full of admiration, and secretly raised his thumb for Liao Shi's bold but careful planning.

The most rare thing is that this plan finally has a chance to be implemented.

- Although it may seem to be in a hurry.

It wasn't until the day before parting that Wu Ze, as an outsider, was sure that his observation was correct, and quietly handed over the pair of red candles and the words left by Liao Shi with the red candles to Chen Jiu.

This is indeed the case, and it is only to this day that Lin Shan has admitted his emotional destiny to Chen Jiu.

Among Lin Shan's subordinates, there were also a few who were clear-eyed and attentive, and they saw that something was finally about to happen between their Lord Lin and Sister Jiu.

In short, when the chores in the residence were all sorted out, the night before leaving here, everyone subconsciously reached a tacit agreement that the room where Lin Shan was resting was completely left to the old wine.

What's strange is that Lin Shan doesn't actually know about this.

The sky outside was getting darker, but the room where Lin Shan was resting became quieter, and the guards and maids in the residence seemed to be nowhere to be found.

However, although she felt that she had the support of everyone, and there was a feeling in her heart, her hands in the sleeves were clenched and relaxed several times, but she couldn't make a decision.

Bear him a child without his permission?

If this were to be left to another man, he would almost nod his head without thinking, right?

But if it involves the man in front of him, Chen Jiu's mood suddenly swayed. Although he has already made a promise, to be specific, this matter is only a glimpse of the eight characters, and before he has passed the level of his master, this matter is still half empty.

At this point, if there is anything that can make him even shake off what has been put in place, it is very likely. It is the result of the burning of this red candle.

Can...... If you take the risk, you might not really anger him.

Maybe he'll be really annoyed afterwards, but if he takes this risk, he can finally give birth to blood. Even if there is no reputation, what is this sacrifice?

No, if it is feasible to force it, what is it if you have waited for so many years?

For a while, Chen Jiu only felt that the five flavors were mixed, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or annoyed, and he couldn't tell the difference between anxiety and sourness. The pair of red candles given by Wu Zedai Liao Shi did not carry the old wine with her, otherwise she would not be sure at this time. Will you light a candle without thinking?

Although she was a little moved to stare at the sleeping man in front of her for a long time, she actually hoped that this matter could start in another way.

As a woman, maybe it's by nature, and I always want to be embraced and cared for by the man I love. Rather than always having to chase it yourself.

Chen Jiu's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally he didn't get up to get the pair of red candles, but lowered his head again, gently lifted one of Lin Shan's sleeves and spread it on the edge of the chaise longue, and then lowered his face and pillowed it.

"Saburo, if I do this, will you annoy me?" Headrest sleeves. Smelling the faint scent of honey locusts and wound medicine, Chen Jiu muttered.

Still unable to get a reply from him, only the sound of his even breathing in my ears.

In fact, it is good to have this kind of companionship.

However, at this time, even the wine closest to Lin Shan's aging wine is unknown, Lin Shan's surface is sleeping so peacefully, but in fact, the spiritual world is in a dark state.

The quiet night sky of the Great Barren Mountain is full of stars, and these sky elves who used to be the little junior brother would blink quietly. Tonight, it seems to be frozen by frost into a dead silence, and it has lost its vitality, only to render a cold faint glow, illuminating the outline of the grass house.

This nightmare is here again!

When you see the hazy but familiar scenery in front of you. Lin Shan, who didn't know where he was, began to tighten his heart again. The dream that belonged to Cen Chi also belonged to him.

It's just that in Cen Chi's dream, there is an inextricable rain and fog, blurring and damp the outline of a qiΔ“ scene on the mountain. In Lin Shan's dream, there was no rain, only dew that seemed colder than the rain from the sky. How many grass leaves there are on the Great Wilderness Mountain, how much of this wet and cold water vapor is drenched.

More than 20 years ago, that night of blood spilling on the grass house was a childhood shadow that could not erase and changed his heart for Cen Chi. As for Lin Shan, what happened that night was not a hole in his heart when he was young!

The pain of that night turned into a nightmare afterwards and remained in his memory. Although more than 20 years have passed, this nightmare rarely disturbs his sleep, but as soon as he re-experiences it in his dream, the feeling of falling into the ice cellar and being numb to the point of pain will be deepened again.

On the mountain road where the mountains and grasses are deep and heavy, the young man in the green shirt ran wildly in a panic.

The hem of the young man's cotton shirt has been cut through more than a dozen cracks by the thorns he encountered, and the cotton cloth has turned over the cotton threads, revealing the underwear that he is wearing closely, and then it is also torn by thorns.

Until the spikes pierced the skin, and the tiny beads of blood seeped into the plain tunics, the boy still did not care about his own body, and ran like crazy on the mountain road in the night, not to avoid any wild beast, but to catch up with the long back in front of him.

However, the boy was finally a step slower.

By the time he caught up with the long man's back, he had already reached the cottage. A long, familiar figure, with a sharp dagger in the palm of his hand, something seemed too late to stop.

The child curled up on the bed rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the two people standing at the door, one tall and one short, and said in some surprise: "Master...... Senior brother? What's wrong with you guys? ”

The long figure seemed to smile, and then said in a calm and cold tone: "Chi'er, for the teacher to see you, are you still used to the new bed?" ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, the young man in green shirt, who was holding on to the door frame and panting roughly, suddenly roared loudly: "No! You're not a Master! ”

As soon as the young man's words fell, the long figure in the shadow of the grass hut turned his face, and the starlight that was almost frosty reflected on the person's face, and the familiar outline was indeed visible, and the young man who was panting violently was suddenly stunned.

"Shan'er, are you going to deceive the teacher?"

Although the figure's face was familiar, the tone of his voice was obviously unfamiliar and rough.

The young man looked at the man's face for a moment, and then his eyes quickly gathered again with doubt. Muttered three words: "You are not ......" At the same time, the young man's footsteps moved towards the house.

"Eventful!" The long figure seemed to be finally annoyed, and with a sharp wave of his sleeves, he dragged back the young man in green shirt who had just taken two steps from his side and approached the child on the bed in the house. Throw it into the corner.

The boy's thin back slammed against the brick and stone wall, and he couldn't stand up for a long time, and it was difficult for him to say half a word.

However, when the child curled up in the quilt on the bed saw this scene, he had only felt a little surprised when he saw the sudden arrival of the master at night, and the surprise in his eyes had been replaced by shock.

"Master? What are you doing! ”

The child rolled out of bed and ran towards the boy who was sitting in the corner of the room, trembling from the sharp pain in his back like a cracked bone.

"Chi'er, if you are willing to be obedient, you can bear less pain." The long figure spoke again, and there was an exhortation in his words. But his tone of voice was still unemotional, "Don't move, Master will send you over there soon......"

The child who ran towards the corner with his back to the door not only did not understand the hidden danger in these words, but also did not see the long figure standing in the doorway not far behind him walking towards him.

At this time, this kid was full of worries, and they were all senior brothers who fell into the corner and couldn't get up.

"Senior brother? Are you alright......" the child asked carefully. In the dimly lit interior, groping his way to the corner.

However, just as he was about to reach the corner, he suddenly felt himself pushed away by an oncoming force and fell a few steps away......

Immediately, the boy's roar came again, repeating two words in fragments:

"Let's go!"

……

The sharp, cold dagger flashed with a silver glow, and at first it seemed to rub only a little bit of skin. But in an instant, it was halfway into it, nailed to the chest.

The warm chest suddenly invaded an ice thorn, and there was no blood spilling, but the feeling of weakness that the piercing coldness blocked the blood flow, which made people almost suffocate. That cold, that chill. It was as if the entire body was frozen in an instant.

It was as if every drop of blood from the limbs had condensed into ice beads, so the body did not feel the slightest pain, but could not stop trembling...... If you are covered in ice, why can you still tremble?

In the deep and blurry night, Lin Shan first watched the dagger in his master's hand pierce his chest. I was terrified, but soon the horror turned to surprise.

The wound did not bleed, and the feeling of death was not painful, but the piercing coldness embedded in the warmest part of the body seemed to produce a feeling that was more unbearable than pain.

He struggled to shake off the boreary sensation of his chest, but he soon realized that it was in vain. He saw himself lying in a pool of blood more than twenty years ago, his body twitching slightly, and his life seemed to be coming to an end.

The fact that "oneself" can see one's whole body from the perspective of a bystander seems to prove a certain fact.

But the strange thing is that at this time, he still has a clear consciousness in his mind, remembering that although he was severely injured by his master when he was thirteen years old, he did not die at that time. Although he was able to sit up for a month in bed due to the extremely dangerous trauma in this position, he was finally saved by the master's skill.

So when Lin Shan saw Master hugging him tightly and shedding tears, he wanted to shout out loud and persuade Master not to be so sad.

But he couldn't shout.

It was as if something was stuck in his throat, and he felt like his breathing was getting harder.

However, although he felt that his breath was stuffy and his throat was congested, the warmth in his body seemed to be drained of most of it, and this complex uncomfortable experience almost broke his mind and made him faint. But for some reason, he was able to maintain a sense of consciousness at the same time, teaching him that he couldn't dodge, and could only endure this kind of painless but uncontrollable trembling cold to the bone.

"Shan'er ......"

It was Master's call.

Lin Shan had experienced such a treacherous dream more than once in the past, so he knew very well in his heart that when he could hear someone calling him at this time, it was when the dream would end.

As long as he can answer.

But it was extremely difficult to speak in a dream, because at this time he only felt that every inch of his body seemed to be numb, including his lips and eyelids, which usually had to move almost effortlessly, all of which became heavy and difficult to move because his breathing became stuffy.

Master's call didn't last long before it faded away. Disappear into nothingness.

The surroundings were completely silent, and the bone-chilling chill that pierced his chest had completely spread in his body, and Lin Shan felt a little like a stone abandoned in a cold pool. It has sunk to the bottom of the pool.

If this dream does not wake up, is the silence of this moment eternal?

After a person dies, he will indeed lose his body temperature, lose his hearing, hearing, speech, and so on.

Lin Shan's heart suddenly had a trace of fearβ€”no matter who it is, it is inherently afraid of deathβ€”but this fear in Lin Shan's consciousness did not linger for long, and was replaced by a sense of relief.

Death, for most people, is the destruction and pain of life, but for others, it is a complete liberation from oneself.

If Lin Shan's longevity is today. ended at the age of thirty-five, so these thirty-five years of life gave him nearly half of his life of physical and mental suffering. People who are afraid of death may be lucky that they know the benefits of being alive. But in recent years, Lin Shan has become more and more blurred about the meaning of his life, so alive. There may be many responsibilities that are burdened by others, but there is no role for yourself.

Can people really live in the world without desires and desires?

If you ask for something, what do you ask for?

This is really an issue that is too complicated, and the wealth, wives and concubines, reputation, and power that all living beings want...... It seems that I can easily get it, but if I think about it, these things are for me. It's not so important that you have to have it, and you can give it up at any time.

It seems that a life that has no meaning should continue in such a painful and tormenting way, so it is better to abandon it!

As this thought became clear in his consciousness, Lin Shan felt that his heart began to sink, and his body gradually sank.

This feeling. There is a faint hint of a very unkind outcome.

But he was not flustered at this time, and chose to bear it calmly.

Sleeping in the realm of silence does not seem to be a very difficult thing, it is nothing more than that the world is completely quiet......

However, just in Lin Shan's opinion. When his world was about to freeze and stand still, suddenly another voice came from his ears:

"San Lang!"

It's a woman's voice.

It's Chen Jiu shouting.

Lin Shan's heart suddenly stirred, and he suddenly realized that what he was thinking just now was so decadent that he didn't even feel strange to himself for some reason.

Qingchuan's affairs are about to start, and the affairs of the master have been put on hold, and that woman, how can she ignore the promise she gave so quickly? And that child, at least two or three more years of attention will be needed before he can completely withdraw his hand......

These thoughts, although they seem to be all other people's business, once they are mentioned, they all turn into thousands of threads and entanglements.

Lin Shan suddenly felt that his sinking body and mind suddenly began to pull upwards again, and the body feeling brought to him by this sharp turn in this direction was half-illusion and half-real, but it also quickly returned to reality.

If the glimmer of the morning light peels off the dark fog inch by inch, the light also seems to carry the temperature of the morning sun, dispelling the cold that has soaked the body layer by layer.

When the master's call also dispersed, and Lin Shan thought that he was about to fall into silence forever, a woman's cry penetrated his ears, instantly shattering the barrier of silence, and at the same time, a warm hand clenched tightly.

With a breath of stagnant breath in his chest, Lin Shan finally broke free from the illusory and boundless dream. This dream was a calamity for him.

After a heavy breath, his vision gradually got rid of the fog that seemed to be caused by suffocation, and the things in front of him gradually became clear, and Lin Shan realized that the room was full of people, remembering that he was originally leaning on the chaise longue for a nap, but now he was lying on the bed.

Chen Jiu sat on the edge of the bed, closest to her, her eyes were slightly red, and her face was full of anxiety.

Wu Ze, the dismissed imperial doctor, sat next to Chen Jiu, who had always been unfazed, locked his eyebrows at the moment, and lowered his eyes slightly with a faint sadness.

Lin Shan stretched out a hand from the quilt, wrapped the hand that Chen Jiu was nervously pressing on the edge of the bed, clenched it slightly, and said warmly: "Wine ......"

The moment he raised his hand, he already felt something strange in his body, and he couldn't exert much strength in his hand. He realized that he was careless and sick, but he didn't expect the illness to be so heavy this time, and it was a little difficult to say something.

"Ahem, ahem......"

The feeling of blockage in the lungs and intestines burst out of the throat with a strong cough, and it could not be suppressed. As if to cough up the lobes of the lungs.

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing this, the few guards who stayed in the room all subconsciously took a step forward. But then, as if they were aware of something, they paused again.

Wu Ze, who had been pondering with his eyes down, saw this scene. The sorrow in the center of his eyebrows was a little lighter, and he took a long breath, looked at Chen Jiu and said, "It's good to wake up." ”

Although the doctor's words were so, Chen Jiu looked at Lin Shan, who was coughing violently, and his heart was always uneasy. While rubbing Lin Shan's panting and undulating intestines, she asked anxiously, "Is it uncomfortable here?" Why did you cough so hard all of a sudden......" The second half of the sentence was low, as if muttering to himself.

Lin Shan struggled to sit up, clutched his sleeves to cover his lips and coughed for a while, and then endured the cough.

Chen Jiu saw that he didn't cough anymore, and his heart was a little calmer. Hurriedly stood up, moved the set of pillows stacked at the head of the bed, and leaned behind him to let him sit more comfortably.

Lin Shan, who calmed down his cough, did not ask Wu Ze about his sudden illness, nor did he want to say anything to comfort Chen Jiu. He just looked sideways at the guards in the room who had always kept a three-step salute distance, and asked slightly out of breath, "What time is it?" ”

Most of Lin Shan's guards, both old and new, quickly developed a habit of being able to control time with great precision, not to mention that the few guards who stayed in the house were all personal servants that he relied on and often paid attention to cultivating. Jiang Chao, who was the leader, quickly returned to the hour, but just finished talking. He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't suppress the anxiety that was jumping in his heart, and reminded in a slightly lower voice: "It's less than an hour before dawn, my lord...... Are you considering rescheduling? ”

As soon as Jiang Chao said this, the faces of the other two guards who were standing side by side a little half a step behind him changed. Although what Jiang Chao said, it was also a building that they considered and agreed with. But what they know better is that this kind of construction will definitely violate a certain principle of Lord Lin.

However, at this time, among the people in the room, I am afraid that Jiang Chao is the only one who dares to anger the persuasion like this.

Even if you don't mention that he was seriously injured three years ago. The incident of riding alone for thousands of miles, and even deceiving and deceiving had to follow Lin Shan to the Northland, in the next three years, he also did a lot of similar things. Of course, Lin Shan was angry and punished for this, but until now he has not really tied him up and thrown him back to Kyoto, which may prove from the side that Lin Shan may accept his proposal.

However, the actual outcome of the situation did not go so smoothly.

As soon as Jiang Chao's words were finished, Lin Shan's face sank slightly, but he didn't reprimand, but after being silent for a while, he said calmly: "How are the things in the bandit village going?" ”

"Kill what should be killed, pay what should be paid, and all have been done." Jiang Chao replied respectfully, and did not dare to mention the rescheduling just mentioned. At the end of the ceremony, he mentioned another record of the departure and return times.

Lin Shan's face softened a little, and he said lightly: "Leave the record book, and you will all disperse." With less than three hours left before departure, take the time to recuperate. ”

Since he had already spoken to this stage, Jiang Chao knew that even if he dared to persuade him, it would only be in vain.

Jiang Chao only took out a thin booklet from his arms as he said, but did not hand it to Lin Shan, just put it on the table in the room, and then said goodbye and left.

There were only two people left in the room, Chen Jiu and Wu Ze, Lin Shan's shoulders that had been slightly tense relaxed, suppressed and coughed a few times, and only then did he ask Wu Ze about his illness.

The sudden high fever on the body at night is an old disease that is not strange.

Lin Shan himself didn't care much about this, he shook Chen Jiu's hand again to show comfort, and said warmly: "I'm just a little sick, although it came suddenly, but it was also quickly removed." It's you, who are always so sad and sad, which is very bad for the body, and I am worried when I look at it. ”

Chen Jiu took out a hand from his slightly sweaty palm, probed his forehead, and made sure that the previous high fever had really subsided, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "I also know that you often have sudden fevers at night. But this time is different, how can I rest assured that the place you are about to go to is so far away, and that the road is bumpy, and you may not even have enough time to rest......"

"I heard it, you are also changing the French way to persuade me." Lin Shan let go of Chen Jiu's hand, his eyes became indifferent, "It's just a little cold, how can you change the military order because of this." ”

Wu Xue, the imperial physician who had been sitting next to him and had not made a sound, coughed dryly at this time, in order to ease the somewhat tense atmosphere of conversation in the room, and at the same time to express his thoughtful advice: "Why don't you let Wu go with me for a while, so that everyone can ask for peace of mind." ”

Lin Shan's westward journey, in addition to the fact that all the maids in the residence are not allowed to follow, Wu Xue is also ranked out in the plan, which is probably related to the secrecy of the military aircraft.

The expropriation of the chaos in western Sichuan, from the beginning of the military training, pressed the news on the Kyoto side extremely tightly. What's more, his side is so close to the north, and before the incident, he has been responsible for guarding and monitoring the actions that the northern side may intend to stir up the situation, and the secrecy work has been done even more thoroughly, and all those who have nothing to do with the war will be excluded.

(To be continued)
