Chapter 10 Agreements
Ah Shu is able to walk around on her own these days, and she estimates that in another two or three days, the poison will be completely resolved.
Since the last time she went to the market town, Tu Zhan didn't know what was wrong, she always deliberately avoided her, and Ah Shu was idle and boring, so she walked around the palace.
She walked along the gravel-paved path, all the way to the Imperial Garden, on both sides of the road, clusters of bright flowers, gathered under the leaves, like countless agile butterflies spread their wings, on the soft branches of the tree, jasmine snow-white petals trembled slightly in the breeze, making the air filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
Ah Shu was so intoxicated by the aroma that she didn't notice that someone was walking towards her.
"The immortal is Zhan'er's master. Ah Shu came to his senses, the man in front of him was richly dressed, with a golden dragon embroidered on his robe, a few strands of hair were gray, and the years had left marks on his face, but he was still magnificent.
"It's not an immortal, it's not a master, it's just a martial arts practitioner, he knows some techniques, and he just taught him a little,"
Ah Shu saluted, "Presumably you are Ah Zhan's father, he often mentions you." ”
"Zhan'er actually mentions me to you often, I don't know what you said?" the emperor waved his hand and motioned for Ah Shu to excuse himself.
Ah Shu smiled in her heart, how can you answer this, you can't say that Ah Zhan said that he is old and stubborn.
"That is to say, you govern the country well and are a good emperor. The emperor laughed, as if he had guessed that Tu Zhan would not say that.
He looked at Ashu, sixteen or seventeen, quite charming, but seemed to be much more mature and stable than Zhan'er.
"I don't know what the warrior plans to do in the future? If you can, can you stay in the palace and always be Zhan'er's master? Zhan'er likes you very much. He coughed slightly, as if he was not well.
Ah Shu clenched her fists, "The emperor's kindness Ah Shu has received it, but I have important things to do, and I can't continue to stay in Nanchao Kingdom, and I will leave in two days." ”
The emperor has some regrets, but Ah Shu is very determined, and it is not easy to keep it.
He coughed a few more times, quickly took out his handkerchief, frowned tightly, seemed to be in pain, and couldn't help but half-kneel.
Ah Shu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, he took off the handkerchief, and the white handkerchief was stained with blood.
"Your Majesty...... You ......" Ashu is a little worried, coughing up blood is usually an incurable disease.
He waved his hand, "Don't help me." ”
Ah Shu stood aside, he stood up tremblingly, "It's okay, it's an old problem, the reason why I want you to stay is to let you teach Zhan'er and assist him in becoming a good king, do you like Zhan'er?"
Ah Shu was stunned for a moment, he only regarded Ah Zhan as her friend, her younger brother, even if he liked it, it was by no means the kind of like between men and women.
"I treat Ah Zhan as a younger brother, and there is no love between men and women. ”
The emperor sighed, said no more, nodded, and turned to leave.
His tall back has some vicissitudes, and the shoulders of successive kings are great responsibilities, and it is the well-being of a country. He was born in the palace and will be buried here, and this majestic palace binds him, and perhaps also Tu Zhan.
Thinking of this, Ah Shu couldn't help but feel a little sad and looked up at the sky.
Tu Zhan lowered his head and walked towards the gate of the palace, he had just passed by the imperial garden, and happened to hear the conversation between his master and his father.
"I put Ah Zhan ...... There is no love between men and women. ”
For some reason, Master's words have always been haunted in his mind and lingered from just now.
For a month, he admired and longed for the master at first, and every time the master praised him, he could happily sleep all night, but gradually he was not satisfied with the fact that the master always regarded him as a younger brother, he seemed to want something, but he didn't know what it was.
For a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, since the master is leaving, then I will be with her!
Ah Shu couldn't find Tu Zhan anywhere, thinking that he might be out of the palace, and as soon as he came to the door, he saw Ah Zhan with his head down, dull.
"Ah Zhan!"
Tu Zhan hurriedly looked up and saw Ah Shu running towards him with a smile, and he also smiled cheerfully at her:
"Master!"
Ah Shu wanted to touch his head, "Why are you here, I have been looking for you for a long time, and I will leave the day after tomorrow, and you won't stay with me for a while." ”
When Tu Zhan heard this, he dodged Ah Shu's hand and didn't look at him.
Ah Shu's hand stopped in the air, didn't say anything, and took Tu Zhan's hand again,
"Follow me. ”
The two of them came to the river where the lanterns were put last time and sat down, there were fewer lanterns in the water, maybe they were all drifting away, Tu Zhan looked at the water surface, and said nothing.
Halfway through, Ah Shu patted him, "Ah Zhan, everyone in the world has a responsibility, and I am the same, your responsibility is to inherit the throne and govern Nanchao well." ”
Tu Zhan finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and actually cried loudly.
"But you're leaving! If Master stays with me, I can do anything, and I will willingly become the crown prince and inherit my father's position!"
Ah Shu looked at him and remembered her former self, at that time she only knew how to cry and could only rely on others to protect her. She hugged Tu Zhan gently and said in a low voice:
"Ah Zhan, I promise you, as soon as my matter is settled, I will come back to see you soon, but you have to listen to the emperor and become a virtuous monarch. ”
Tu Zhan took out the half-star and held it up in front of Ashu,
"Take this as an oath, swear you'll come back!"
Ah Shu took the half-crescent moon around her neck and smiled faintly, "With the Star Moon Chain as an oath, Hu Shu will definitely return to Nanchao Kingdom and come back to see Ah Zhan." ”
In a blink of an eye, the day when Ah Shu was leaving, the princess and Chen and his party saw her off at the gate, Tu Zhan did not come, and Ah Shu did not blame him, presumably this child must be crying in the palace.
Princess Tuying is also a little reluctant to be a sister-in-law, and this month's relationship, the two have also formed a deep friendship.
"Ashu, wait for you to come back. ”
Tu Ying beckoned a man and a woman over, the two of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, covered with black veils, and saluted Ah Shu respectfully.
"What is this?" Tu Ying smiled, "I don't know what you're going to do this time, this is what Ah Zhan asked, you must choose the two best secret guards in the palace to accompany you, they will also be able to resist the sword, you can take them with you." ”
"It's not that I don't take them, it's just that my future is dangerous, I wonder if the two of you can be born and die with me?"
Ah Shu looked at the two of them, "My subordinates are willing to go to the soup with the girl, and I will not give up!" The two said in unison,
Ah Shu nodded, said goodbye to the princess, and the three of them took the sword and flew towards Kunlun Mountain.
Tu Zhan was in the palace, looking at the clear stars in his hands, for a long time, he put it away again, and strode towards his father.
But seeing that time flows like an arrow, how do you know that the way of heaven is like a palace.
In the dark, the heavens may have already arranged everything.
The three of them rushed to Kunlun, and Li Yuan seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Ashu, let's get ready to go. ”
