33. Difficult task
Fang Xu thought so, scolded in his heart, but had to compliment Shi Tian. He clenched his fists and said, "Brother Shi has raised the little brother so much, the little brother is very grateful!" Since the younger brother entered the palace, Brother Shi has taken care of him many times, which is unforgettable. The younger brother can meet such a talented person as Brother Shi in this life, it is really a blessing for three lives! ”
It is very pleasant to listen to good words, Shi Tian heard this, and looked up to the sky and laughed.
He patted Fang Xu's shoulder, clasped his fists again, and sent his blessings: "Haha, good brother!" Treasure! ”
Fang Xu didn't dare to say more, clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said, "Treasure!" ”
With that, he turned away and put a scroll of the decree into his bosom.
He walked out of Chengtianmen, but saw Zhu Miaoman dressed in purple, holding a sword, standing in front of the door downstairs in front of the door, like a fairy, beautiful.
She seemed to be waiting for him.
Seeing this, Fang Xu had to bow down and greet Zhu Miaoman: "Weichen see the princess!" ”
Zhu Miaoman whispered: "Aiqing is exempt!" Treasure all the way! ”
Fang Xu bowed his hand and thanked him: "Thank you for the grace of the princess!" Weichen must not dishonor the emperor's order! ”
When he raised his head, he looked at Zhu Miaoman, but saw that her eyes were red and her eyes showed tenderness. His heart was hot, and he secretly said in his heart: I didn't expect this Nizi to be so good to me!
Yadi, I'm afraid I won't be blessed!
Who in the world doesn't know that King Yan is like a butcher?
Lao Tzu is going to Beiping, I'm afraid there is no return.
Still, even if you fade out of my life, it still occupies my memory.
……
Fang Xu's heart was excited, but he didn't know what to say?
So, he bowed to Zhu Miaoman again and turned away.
Zhu Miaoman is indeed reluctant to give up on Fang Xu.
She also knew that Fang Xu's trip to Beiping was more than lucky.
She didn't know if she would be able to see Fang Xu in the future?
So, she asked in a trembling voice: "Fang Aiqing...... You...... You, you, you, you don't have anything else to say? ”
She beckoned to Fang Xu's back.
She strode to chase after her, but retracted her steps.
Perhaps, she suddenly thought that she was still in the palace, so she couldn't show her feelings lightly.
Fang Xu thought that he was going to Beiping, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and saw that the emperor, ministers, and princesses were all reluctant to give up on him, and he felt that the road was far away and difficult, so why not leave some gifts?
Besides, giving gifts to beauties is always a pleasure for men.
So, Fang Xu took off the jade necklace that had been tied around his neck, turned around and handed it to Zhu Miaoman.
He said sincerely: "The princess is precious! The princess is as kind to Weichen as a mountain, and Weichen has nothing to repay. This necklace will be given to the princess, which is a little bit of caution on behalf of Weichen. ”
Zhu Miaoman didn't expect Fang Xu's eyes to be red, and he couldn't help but feel shy.
She understood that Fang Xu had her in his heart.
She was instantly overjoyed.
However, she didn't dare to accept such a valuable thing from Fang Xu.
She glanced at the necklace and found that the pendant of the necklace was a jade Guanyin, with very small characters engraved on it.
She instantly said in her heart: If this necklace is not Fang Xu's heirloom, it was given by a noble person when he was born.
This necklace is certainly extremely precious.
……
So, Zhu Miaoman stammered: "This ...... How can it be? ”
Fang Xu's heart was sour, and he said in a trembling voice: "Princess, what Weichen gave you is not this necklace, but Weichen's heart. ”
He stuffed the necklace into Zhu Miaoman's hand, and a honey smell came out of his mouth.
When Zhu Miaoman heard this, his heart was extremely moved, tears glistened, took the necklace, and stammered: "What...... I...... I'll keep it for you for the time being. I...... I'll give you a jade flute...... There is a hidden weapon installed on it, and when you press the mechanism with your thumb, poisonous arrows will be fired, which will have a defensive effect if necessary. ”
Her heart was excited, moved, and sour.
She put down her sword, put the necklace in her trouser pocket, and took a small jade flute from her waist and handed it to Yang Xiao.
Then, without saying anything more, she picked up her own sword, and turned and trotted away.
The moment she turned around, the tears couldn't help but slide down.
Strings of crystal clear teardrops, transparent and shiny.
"It turned out that she had already prepared a gift for me. It's just that because of the girl's reserve, she hasn't taken it out. Alas, I really failed her affection. The person she likes, but the original Fang Xu! In the future, if she finds out that I am a fake Fang Xu, what will she do to me? Fang Xu took the jade flute, a burst of excitement, and a burst of sadness. He is a smart person, and finally understands Zhu Miaoman's affection for "himself".
His mind was full of joy, and his heart was a little sad.
Because he understood that Zhu Miaoman actually liked not his modern Fang Xu, but the previous Fang Xu.
He walked out of the palace gate sadly, rode back to the house, cleaned up briefly, had lunch, changed into civilian clothes, wore embroidered spring knives, and secretly embraced the spring flowers.
In her teary eyes, Fang Xu took Li Bu and Liu Lebao.
The three of them immediately rode out of the city and headed north.
Autumn winds gust.
Dust is flying.
Fang Xu was full of melancholy, not only reluctant to give up on the spring flowers, but also thinking about Zhu Miaoman's deep affection for "himself".
He left the city and left Beijing, rode a horse and ran for dozens of miles, but he didn't say a word.
At dusk and sunset, the remnant sun is like blood.
Yangzhou City, the northwest suburb of Shugang Middle Peak.
On the mountain road, Li Buzema led the way.
Because Liu Lebao's trouser injury has not healed.
Therefore, Fang Xu rode the horse, accompanied him slowly, and galloped behind.
On both sides of the mountain road, the trees are abundant and the green water lingers.
Liu Lebao couldn't stand the bumps of the horses, and screamed in pain: "Oh, the little brother hurts to death, brother, take a break?" I can't stand it anymore. ”
"Good! Brother Li, let's take a break! Fang Xu immediately jumped off the horse, shouted at Li Bu, and wrapped the horse's reins around a big tree on the side of the mountain road.
Then, he turned around and helped Liu Lebao get off the horse.
Li Bu turned his horse's head sharply and galloped towards Fang Xu.
Liu Lebao got off the horse and reached out to cover his trousers.
He raised his hand, and there was blood.
He said to Fang Xu with a sad face: "Oh, brother, go into the city for a night's rest?" Yadi, I have to get a carriage to sit in, my brother really can't stand it, you see, there is blood oozing from the wound. If you continue to ride a horse like this, Lao Tzu may die. ”
Seeing this, Fang Xu's heart ached, and he said, "Okay! Come, sit down and drink saliva. Stay for a while, I'll walk with you and take a detour into the city. ”
He hurriedly helped Liu Lebao to sit on a boulder, and then went to his horse to get a water leather bag.
"Whoosh......"
But at the moment when he turned around, a fishing net was cast down and covered Liu Lebao's body, and several people in black jumped down from a big tree.
"Oops, brother save me......"
Liu Lebao screamed, was covered by a fishing net, and was pulled to a tree.
He struggled desperately in the nets, but to no avail.
Li Bu turned his horse's head and galloped his horse, seeing Liu Lebao being plotted, he was shocked and whipped the horse in a hurry.
