Chapter Eighty-Five: Between Turning Around
Hearing Zhuge Qinghong's resolute expression, he knew that he had made up his mind, and it was futile to persuade him, so he arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, the old man will accompany the son." ”
"Thank you, senior." Zhuge Qinghong returned the salute, but there was no joy on his face.
Xiao Xinyi was busy in the Qingxiao Hall stronghold, and there seemed to be more and more letters sent to the Falling Moon Mountain Villa recently, and they were all trivial matters, but each one Xiao Xinyi had to be checked before he dared to send it to the Chu family, in case one of them contained important news.
"Mr. Qian, there is no problem with this letter intercepted from the carrier pigeon, you can send it out, and ask Mrs. Yi to ......" Xiao Xinyi looked up from the letter and said.
I don't know when there was one more person in the house, Yi Rong took the letter with an ambiguous face and said to her: "Since there is no need for the deputy hall master here, please go out with the deputy hall master and the young master, and don't disturb the slave family." ”
Xiao Xinyi's eyes flashed with a hint of panic and said, "There is Mrs. Lau." ”
After finishing speaking, he left the table and walked towards the door, Zhuge Qinghong opened the door for her when he saw this, and followed Xiao Xinyi out of the door after he went out.
Yi Rong and Qian Yi exchanged glances, it was the first time they had seen such a gentle young master!
Out of the Qingxiao Hall stronghold, Xiao Xinyi turned over and was about to go to check Leng Zhaoqing's pulse, and as soon as she walked out of the road, she heard the sound of extremely fast horses' hooves behind her, and then she felt Bai Feng's footsteps pause slightly, and a pair of arms circled her from behind, Xiao Xinyi didn't need to look back to know that it was Zhuge Qinghong.
Her back pressed against his warm, firm chest, and she could even feel his regular heartbeat, the first time the two of them were beating so close, the two hearts were so close, and even the frequency of beating was the same.
Bai Feng arrived at the streets of Yongcheng in a blink of an eye.
The pedestrians on the street looked at the young men and women riding on the same journey and avoided one after another, among them there was a white-haired old woman with a disdainful face, and it was really immoral to hug and hug in broad daylight.
There is an amiable middle-aged woman, looking at the talented and beautiful couple with a smile on her face.
There is a shy and timid cardamom girl, imagining what it would be like if there was such a handsome man with his horse galloping wildly.
There were also ill-intentioned street goblins whistling loudly behind them.
And more people only care whether their things are trampled by the horse's hooves, but fortunately, although the white horse is fast, the horse's hooves are stable and do not hurt a person or anything, and the same is true of the black horse that follows behind him.
Things in this world are like this, the same thing will be different feelings in the eyes of different people, the heart is good, the eyes are full of spring, if the heart is evil (wu), everything is hurt. People only need to restrain their own behavior, do not hurt others, do not indulge, stand upright in heaven and earth and act worthy of their hearts, so why bother to care about the disturbing eyes of this world. Xiao Xinyi naturally didn't care about those strange gazes, Zhuge Qinghong's hand was covered on her hand that was pulling the reins of the horse, she broke free with all her strength, and after a while, only Zhuge Qinghong's hands with white knuckles remained on the delicate reins.
The two of them walked through the street and went straight to the suburbs, Xiao Xinyi listened to the sound of the wind in his ears as if he had returned to a few months ago, when he wrapped her in front of him with a cloak, at that time she still had a deep estrangement from him, she also suspected that Zhuge Villa was her enemy, she didn't even give them a good face, but Zhuge Qinghong never cared about this, and had been silently helping her and protecting her until she untied the knot.
Now she knows that her enemy is not Zhuge Villa, but there is still a gap between them that cannot be crossed, the marriage contract between him and the lord of Ningguo is just an excuse for Xiao Xinyi, what she will do in the future is nine deaths, she can't and dare not be with him, what Zhuge Villa is doing now is just to get justice for Cang'an Villa, and to get justice for Wulin, if he really angers Long Yan and Li Yu can protect him in the future, the emperor will definitely spare Zhuge Qinghong in front of the general who protects the country.
But what she has to do is more than that, Zhuge father and son don't know, her father Xiao Chonglou was assassinated by the emperor's order, and he was killed with a blow from behind, even if the emperor really rehabilitates Cang'an Villa in the future, Xiao Xinyi will ask in front of the Son of Heaven even if he takes his life, why did he assassinate her father in the first place, he had obviously stopped everyone in the martial arts at that time, why did he have to kill him.
If it really comes to that moment, life and death are only in the mind of the Son of Heaven, and her life will no longer be her own.
In the blink of an eye, Zhuge Qinghong has taken Xiao Xinyi to the suburbs, the sun is blazing in August, and it has not rained in the Yongcheng area for a long time, the tall trees are still lush, but the leaves are weak to hang, the birds are singing one after another, the grass on the ground is a little wilted due to drought, and some have dried up. There was no wind in the sweltering heat, and if there were no birds fluttering and staying in the nearby woods, the whole suburb would be like a still picture.
It wasn't until two horses, one black and one white, came roaring that they added some vitality to the huge meadow, and the ink crow and the white phoenix walked side by side, but there was no shadow of Zhuge Qinghong and Xiao Xinyi on their backs, and the two were rolling down on a meadow not far from the woods.
Zhuge Qinghong didn't let Bai Feng stop and jumped off the horse with Xiao Xinyi, and rolled a few times on the grass when he landed, Zhuge Qinghong's hand was still pillowed on the back of Xiao Xinyi's head after the two stopped, Xiao Xinyi's face was red like Yi Rong's lips had just been painted, and he hurriedly pushed away Zhuge Qinghong above her, Zhuge Qinghong didn't move at first, but when he saw Xiao Xinyi's flustered appearance, he couldn't bear to tease her anymore, turned over and lay on the grass and lay down with Xiao Xinyi, Xiao Xinyi was about to get up when he was free, but Zhuge Qinghong grabbed his hand.
"Such a beautiful day, it's good to lie down with me for a while, just for a while."
Xiao Xinyi didn't see the beautiful scenery of Liangchen, only saw Zhuge Qinghong's red face and sweat-soaked clothes from the sun, she was naturally not afraid of the sun if she had cold in her body, but Xiao Xinyi still lay back as she said, but it was just a small request from him, and she tried her best to meet it.
As far as the eye could see, there was a blue sky, and large, white clouds hung over it, as if it were within reach. Beneath him is a soft meadow, and the scent of grass lingers on the tip of his nose. Next to him is the love of his life, and the sound of a heartbeat echoes in his chest.
Zhuge Qinghong's hands were so big that he could wrap Xiao Xinyi's hands around them, and they were so close that they could hear each other's breath and smell each other's bodies.
Xiao Xinyi closed her eyes and felt everything around her, felt the temperature coming from her hands, and fell asleep unconsciously, she hadn't slept well like this for a long time, she had a long dream, she couldn't say anything she dreamed of, she just felt very relieved, and she wanted to sleep like this. Until she was awakened by a burst of birdsong, the feeling of relief still did not disappear, she moved her sore neck, and turned to see the smiling peach blossom eyes next to her.
Zhuge Qinghong didn't know how long he looked at her with his hand, Xiao Xinyi hurriedly turned his head and sat up, Zhuge Qinghong sat up behind her and took out a branch of dry grass from her hair. Xiao Xinyi noticed something strange in her hair and turned to look, just as she saw the sunset that was about to fall behind Zhuge Qinghong, it turned out that she had slept for a few hours, and Zhuge Qinghong's gaze was even more gentle in the afterglow of the sunset.
Xiao Xinyi didn't dare to look at it anymore and lowered his eyes and said, "It's not early, let's go back." ”
After finishing speaking, he got up and pulled his crumpled shirt and walked forward, his body suddenly hung in the air, Zhuge Qinghong picked her up and strode towards the woods, and when she reacted, Zhuge Qinghong was already on the tree, "Xin'er, why, I have made it clear to you, why do you still treat me like this, do you have to say that in this life, you must not marry you to understand my heart." ”
"Ah Yin, maybe it's because I just treat you as a relative and a brother in my heart." Xiao Xinyi herself didn't know how she said this.
Words are like water, and there is no room for turnback. The temperature in front of him disappeared little by little, Zhuge Qinghong retreated step by step, and his eyes were surging with more than heartache, which was more suffocating heartbreak than despair.
"Is that so?"
Xiao Xinyi looked at the man in front of her and felt heartbroken, she wanted to go over and take his hand and tell him loudly, no, not like this. But she held back, and now that she had made her decision, she should not look back.
Xiao Xinyi nodded slowly and said softly, "Isn't it good to be my brother?" ”
Then she saw Zhuge Qinghong smiling, the smiling peach blossom eyes flashed, and then she heard Zhuge Qinghong's voice reach her ears, engraved in her heart word by word.
"It turns out that this is the case, so much time has caused trouble to the girl, I am really uneasy in my heart, I hope the girl will not have to suffer from this trouble in the future, I may be very busy recently, Qingxiao Tang also asked the girl to take care of it on behalf of the girl, and then thank the girl when the dust settles. As for the brother and the like that the girl said, I have no interest in it. ”
Speak, give up, turn around, and leave.
Since the beauty has no intention, no matter how humble she is, she will only add trouble to others, so why bother!
When the two people and two horses came, there was only one person and one rider, and the dust raised by the ink crow blurred Xiao Xinyi's vision, until the white-clothed black horse could no longer be seen, Xiao Xinyi walked out of the woods, and Bai Feng's belly became like a round snowball, obviously full. Xiao Xinyi walked up to it and muttered, "I did something wrong, right?" ”
Bai Feng looked at her with a pair of big wet eyes and shook her snow-white ponytail.
"Even if it's wrong, I don't regret it, I just hope he can start over."
Bai Feng hissed in a low voice, digging the dirt under his hooves uneasily, Xiao Xinyi pulled a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and led Bai Feng to walk slowly on the grass. At this time, the last touch of the sunset also fell, leaving only an orange cloud in the sky, the shape of a teardrop, Xiao Xinyi watched as the orange teardrop slowly turned gray and darkened as he walked, until he could no longer see it, and then turned over and galloped away.
The moon secretly rose up the treetops at some point, silent and silent, and the faint light sprinkled on the woman in white who was running wildly on horseback, and also on the young man in white on the black horse who came out of another wood.
Although the moon is round and deficient, cloudy and sunny, its peerless style remains unchanged.
And people have joys and angers, sorrows and joys, and even what they believe can change overnight.
