Chapter 1 Cold Smoke, Shuo Feng He is still alive

For some reason, the carriage drove very fast, and only stopped at night, and after about six days, they finally came to the frontier of Western Chu.

During these six days, although Gu Li and she spent most of their time in the same carriage, there was almost zero conversation. Gu Li reads books in the carriage every day and deals with affairs, although he does not shy away from Mu Qianxia, Mu Qianxia knows that this is what Gu Li deliberately let her hear. So she never asks too much. And she spends most of her time reading books every day to understand the landforms and customs of Eastern Qin, after all, there are many differences between countries. When she actually got there, she needed to be more cautious and cautious in her words and deeds, because there would never be anyone to protect her like her royal brother, and her life could be in danger if she was not careful.

Now, she is about to leave Xichu completely and step into the realm of Dongqin, with confusion, expectation, and even a hint of fear of the unknown in her heart. Ahead, no matter how many difficulties and dangers await her, the only thing she can trust now is herself.

Suddenly, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, Mu Qianxia turned his head to look at Gu Li, and saw that he was supporting his forehead with one hand, casually half leaning on the bed, his long eyelashes drooping, covering a pair of phoenix eyes. Mu Qianxia opened her eyes, suppressed the uneasiness that surged into her heart at that moment just now, frowned slightly, and lifted the curtain on the carriage.

In a small pavilion not far from the carriage where she was, a man stood with his back to her. He was extremely long, wearing a blue Yunxiang talisman bat pattern suit, the indigo robe collar and cuffs were inlaid with silver silk edge cloud pattern piping, indigo trousers tied in brocade boots, rhino horn belt tied around his waist, only a white beard, jet-black hair tied up and wearing a small silver crown inlaid with jade, the white jade crystal on the silver crown was more set off the black and smooth of his hair, like satin.

Even if it was just a back, Mu Qianxia clearly recognized it. "Cold Smoke!" Mu Qianxia shouted excitedly, and her face showed her first smile in a while.

When Han Yan heard this, he turned around, and his face was like a crown of jade. The sword eyebrows and starry eyes are shining. The face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the color is like the flower of spring dawn. Seeing Mu Qianxia, his originally indifferent expression cracked little by little, and his dark and deep eyes were clear and peaceful, but with a slight smile. The dappled sunlight sprinkled down like a golden veil around his body, and his whole body exuded a faint dazzling brilliance. He stretched out his hands, opened his arms, and looked at Mu Qianxia with a smile.

Seeing this, Mu Qianxia left with his skirt and didn't wait for his subordinates to help him, jumped out of the carriage without any image at all, and ran in the direction where Hanyan was.

It's just that after Mu Qianxia left, Gu Li's eyes that had been closed opened slightly, and he stared at Mu Qianxia's back with a deep and complicated gaze.

A guard came to the carriage and asked respectfully through the curtain, "Childe, do you need to stop Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

"No need." Gu Li's indifferent voice came from behind the curtain.

It's just that Gu Li didn't let the guards retreat, as if they were thinking about something, and the guards didn't dare to leave, just standing there motionless and waiting.

After a long time, Gu Li's voice came again: "Send someone to find out what Han Yan has been doing recently, is he too idle during this time."

"Yes." Although Gu Li didn't say it directly, but now these guards outside are all people who have followed him for many years, even if Gu Li's words are not very clear, he still understood Gu Li's meaning at the first time: If Hanyan is too idle recently, then make some trouble for him and find something to do.

…………

"Hanyan, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in the capital? I was in a hurry this time, and I didn't have time to say goodbye to you and Xiaoxi. Mu Qianxia said slightly apologetically.

"It's okay, I know you can't help yourself." Han Yan said thoughtfully.

"I heard that during the days when I was imprisoned in prison, you and Konishi spent a lot of experience trying to save me......"

Before Mu Qianxia could finish speaking, Han Yan interrupted: "I'm sorry, although I used a lot of connections, I still couldn't save you, causing you to suffer in prison for so many days, I'm sorry."

"No matter what the result is, you have worked hard for me, thank you, if you come to my place in need in the future, just come to me, no matter what situation I am in, I will spare no effort to help you. By the way, where did Konishi go? Why didn't I come with you? I don't know when I'll see her again, I originally wanted to see her, but now it seems that ......"

"Xiaoxi has some important things to deal with, although I regret that I couldn't come to say goodbye to you in person, but she asked me to tell you that when she has time, she will definitely go back to you, so that you can prepare food and wait for her."

"Good. Then you help me tell her, and I will always wait for her arrival. ”

"Qianxia, have you really decided to marry Dong Qin? You know that you don't know when you'll come back, and you may never be able to come back for the rest of your life. If the two countries are at war at that time, you, as the princess who married in the past, are the most likely to bear the wrath of Eastern Qin, and you are very likely to be involved in the battle for the throne of Eastern Qin. What's more, I heard that the Three Princes of Eastern Qin are extremely deep, and although they have been closed for a long time, their prestige in the hearts of the people is very high, and the eldest prince may not be able to fight him. Hanyan said worriedly. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Mu Qianxia's shoulders tightly, "Even so, don't you regret it?" ”

Mu Qianxia smiled bitterly, "I have no choice, even if I want to regret it, it's impossible." Also, what I am going to marry now is the third prince of the Eastern Qin Dynasty who you said in your mouth. ”

"What do you mean? What does it mean that there is no choice? How so? Also, didn't you say that Gu Chenjing, the great prince of Eastern Qin, did he become the third prince of Eastern Qin now? Han Yan frowned.

"It's a long story. You just need to know that if I don't choose to marry, the two countries will go to war. And I, Xichu, is now in internal troubles, the throne of the four princes has not yet been secured, and there are still many internal troubles that have no ending, if the war starts at this time, Xichu will fall into internal and external troubles, and it is very likely to be destroyed. And as the eldest princess of Xichu, I can neither go into battle to kill the enemy, nor can I give advice to the country, the only thing I can do is this. Sacrificing me in exchange for the vitality of Xichu and the peace and contentment of the people, for me, this deal is the most cost-effective. ”

"But ......"

Before Hanyan finished speaking, Mu Qianxia continued: "Hanyan, you don't have to worry about me, this is the fate of being a royal princess, no matter who I marry in the end, it doesn't matter if I'm happy or not, as long as it's beneficial to Xichu." For me, it doesn't matter whether it's the eldest prince or the third prince, as long as I have a place to live. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is also a good thing to be able to live a life with respect. Mu Qianxia comforted.

"Qianxia, have you ever thought that you originally promised to marry the eldest prince, but now you openly regret marrying the third prince, where did you put the face of the eldest prince? Have you ever thought about what the Great Prince will do to you? And I heard that the eldest prince and the third prince have always been wrong, and the eldest prince is pressing the third prince everywhere, if you marry in the past, won't he settle the new account and the old account together? Hanyan said with a frown.

"Hanyan, don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything to me. After all, no matter what, I am also the eldest princess of Xichu. Besides, don't you know what I'm capable of? As long as anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, and if anyone offends me, I will return it a hundredfold. You know, I've never been a good person, I just don't like to get into trouble. ”

"Eldest princess, it's time to go." One of the guards trotted over and said respectfully.

"Good. Right away. Mu Qianxia didn't think that the guard's respect for her was from the heart, so she wouldn't put on a condescending posture because of this.

"Hanyan, take good care of Xiaoxi in the future, protect Xiaoxi, she deserves to be treated better by you. Since then, I don't know when we will be able to meet again, and I hope to cherish it. Mu Qianxia hooked her lips and said with a light smile.

"Precious."

Hanyan looked at Mu Qianxia's departing back, Nan Nan said to herself: "Qianxia, don't worry, I will definitely spare no effort to send you away from the land of right and wrong, freedom is the best gift I can give you."

…………

Eastern Qin border.

As soon as the group entered Dongqin, they stopped.

Gu Li lifted the curtain and went out, Mu Qianxia didn't want to go out, but when she heard Gu Lilin turn her head and say to her when she got out of the car: "Princess, an old acquaintance is here, don't you plan to see her?"

When Mu Qianxia heard this, she followed with curiosity.

A man in a cloak, sitting on a horse, saw Gu Li, left and turned over, dismounted and stood still, slowly raised his hand, and lifted the black velvet felt cloak.

The face that was once extremely handsome was now covered with scars from the burning fire.

It's silent.

Wind.

When Shuo Feng lifted the cloak, Mu Qianxia was almost stunned, Shuo Feng, he, was still ...... Alive. This person, who had already died to save her in her cognition, appeared in front of her alive at this moment.

Even though his appearance was ruined now, she still recognized him at a sight.

This is indeed the wind.

Mu Qianxia was stunned for a moment, then realized and laughed.

She took two steps forward, bent down, and made a dignified gesture. Shuo Feng just wanted to dodge, but was held down by Gu Li.

It wasn't until Mu Qianxia straightened up again that Gu Li let go of him.

Mu Qianxia said softly: "No matter what your purpose was at that time, I am grateful to you for saving me at that time. The scars on your body are for me after all. This favor, I, Mu Qianxia wrote it down. ”

"However, if it wasn't for Childe's appearance at that time, I wouldn't have been able to save the princess alone......"

Mu Qianxia interrupted with a chuckle: "No matter what the result is, I can feel that you have done your best at that time." It's good to see you alive in front of me now. ”

"Princess......" Shuo Feng seemed to want to say something more, but Gu Li had already said indifferently: "You can inherit this love."

Shuo Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally replied, "Thank you, princess."
