Chapter 223: Reunion

Nangong Yu's dark eyes were cold, and suddenly, he sighed and said, "Okay, if this king doesn't leave, you can say it."

"After the princess left Nanyang County, she first returned to Baihui Mountain, then passed through Hancheng, and then went to Bai County, and now, she should have left Bai County."

Nangong Yu raised his sword eyebrows lightly when he heard this, and said a little puzzled: "What exactly does she want to do?" Going around in such a big circle"?

"The subordinates don't know, it's just that at the exit of the mountain behind Parkway Mountain, the princess seems to have encountered a killer sent by Nangong Ling, and the subordinates wanted to order someone to investigate, but Nangong Ling's people did things neatly and neatly, and they didn't leave much information at all."

"Oh? In other words, Nangong Ling also knows her whereabouts"? Nangong Yu's dark eyes sank, and even his voice became deep, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression around his body.

"If the subordinates' guesses are good, they should be," Qing Yuan replied truthfully.

Nangong Yu was silent for a moment, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Qingyuan, you go and forget the princess, you go and test her meaning first, if she doesn't want to come back with you, don't force it anymore, send someone to protect her, wait for her to get closer to Yingdu, and the king will go to find her in person."

"Yes, Lord Wang", Qing Yuan saw that the prince had given in, and he didn't say much, so he took the order and left the study, but he didn't want to, Su Ya was already waiting under the steps outside the door, he stepped forward in two steps, and said respectfully: "Princess."

Su Ya nodded, a light smile appeared on her weak and delicate face, looked at Qing Yuan and asked, "The prince didn't sleep all night last night, and he is still in the study until now, I don't know if he has had breakfast?"

Qing Yuan lowered her head slightly and replied, "Don't worry, princess, the prince has already used it."

Su Ya nodded again, but a touch of cruelty quickly flashed in the pair of sheared pupils, although the little daughter's delicate posture was fully revealed, but the tone made Qingyuan's body stiffen.

"Lord Qing, but to find the water girl who has nothing to do with the prince"?

"What the prince ordered, please forgive me for not being able to tell me", Qing Yuan is Nangong Yu's person, except for the prince, he doesn't have to pay attention to anyone, although Su Ya is a noble princess in the barbarian land, but he has not broken the rules, not to mention, Su Ya's actions in the past few days have been seen in his eyes, this woman is by no means a good type, if she knows the whereabouts of the princess, I am afraid, the princess will be more dangerous.

Su Ya saw Qing Yuan's attitude, and her heart was immediately angry, but this was outside the prince's study, and it was really not suitable to have a seizure, so she had to endure it, pretending to smile calmly, and said in a low voice: "Since it is something ordered by the prince, that is to say, Lord Qing is indeed looking for the water girl, but I don't know, where is the water girl now?"

Qing Yuan looked at Su Ya unhurriedly, and said with a polite smile: "Since the princess is so concerned about this matter, why don't you go in and ask the prince?" After all, it was the prince's order."

"The prince has a lot of opportunities, how can I disturb the prince."

Qing Yuan stopped talking, and was about to leave after bypassing Su Ya, but she pulled her cuffs, "I don't know, in what capacity is the water girl going to come back?"

Qing Yuan frowned slightly, but replied with a smile in an instant: "I am happy to have friends from afar", and after speaking, he withdrew his sleeves and left without a trace.

Su Ya looked at the back of Qing Xuan's departure, her fingertips clenched hard, making her palms painful, and her eyes were no longer moving, hideous and vicious.

"Princess", the maidservant Lu'er saw that the princess was out of shape, and hurriedly whispered a reminder.

Su Ya turned her head and glared at Lu'er, and then looked at the door that had been closed, and her heart was already furious.

Shui Lianyue, you are really good at it, you can make Brother Yu miss you so much, hmph, if you dare to come, this princess will definitely let you come and go.

It is said that Shui Lianyue and Hongying left Baixian County and did not take the official road, but rushed to Xuzhou along the mountain road, which is less than a hundred miles away from Huaigu City.

Standing on the mountainside, looking in the direction of Xuzhou, it only takes one day to reach Xuzhou.

The mountain road is rugged, and the ground is much harder than in summer, although Shui Lianyue and Hongying are wearing cotton boots, they are still a little awkward.

"Red dust and purple mo, fate comes and goes, how much melancholy turns into a light resentment, how much desolation falls into a flower mound, how much parting turns into tears, how much waiting condenses into lovesickness", suddenly, a burst of singing drifted in the mountains, the voice was tactful, but with a strong melancholy and desolation.

Shui Lianyue and Red Tassel looked in the direction of the song, and saw that not far from the mountainside, there was a winding stream, the stream had frozen, but the ice on the bank had been broken.

On the shore sat a woman, in her thirties, who had soaked her hands in the icy stream to wash her clothes, despite the cold winter.

The desolate singing sounded again, still the same lyrics just now, with the same melancholy, sung over and over again.

At that moment, a woman ran anxiously out of the woods, and when she saw the scene on the shore, she hurried over and pulled out the woman's hand that had been soaked in the icy stream.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing the most? Don't you want your hands?" The woman seemed to have to take her sister-in-law's hands into her arms to keep her warm.

Sister-in-law smiled bitterly, but did not stop the woman's behavior, "Why are you so troubled?" Let go, I'm just doing the laundry."

"Laundry? How cold is this water, are you doing laundry? It's just that he's abusing himself, sister-in-law, Uncle Kuan has already gone, if he has a spirit in the sky, can he feel at ease when he sees you abusing himself so badly?"

Shui Lianyue looked at the woman on the bank of the stream excitedly, her fingertips trembled, and suddenly, she grabbed Hongying's arm and said in surprise: "Hongying, have you seen it?" That's autumn leaves, right, I'm not mistaken, right"?

Hongying was also excited, with tears flashing in her eyes, and kept nodding her head: "Yes, that's Autumn Leaves, it's her, yes."

The woman on the shore seemed to notice the abnormality, and turned her head to look over, but she was stunned, because Shui Lianyue and Hongying did not change their appearance, they just changed into men's clothes, but she recognized it at a glance, it was Miss and Hongying.

The next moment, she ran towards Shui Lianyue without hesitation, and almost fell under her feet several times, but she ignored it completely, came to Shui Lianyue and Hongying, and hugged the two of them tightly, for fear that the two would disappear in the next second.

"Miss Hongying", the tears can no longer be stopped, God knows what kind of ordeal she has endured to see Miss and Hongying again, the tears contain grievances, joy, and everything.

"It's okay, it's okay", Shui Lianyue repeated over and over again, hugging the autumn leaves with the same force.

The cold wind blew and the cold weather froze, and the three women hugged each other like this, letting the tears blur their eyes, and they did not separate for a long time.

In the depths of the mountainside, there are three thatched huts hidden, and the sister-in-law brought hot water, added a charcoal stove, and saw that it was burning very strongly, so she went out, leaving the three women to recount the pain of parting.
