I don't know when it started, but the weather was getting cooler. In fact, from the perspective of solar terms, it has already entered autumn, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. It's just that in late summer and autumn, the weather is a little abnormal, so hot that it feels like it's still summer.

But all of a sudden, autumn came. The west wind blows, the leaves of the trees are full, and the coolness hits, which makes people sigh that time changes and the world is impermanent.

Not long after dawn, the sun was still hiding under the mountain, unwilling to show its head. Coming out of the east gate of Xizi Town, three horses and a cart are slowly moving.

Each of the three men rode a horse. The person in the front has a long figure, a thin face, a blue shirt and white pants, and an elegant style. The man who was a little behind was just the opposite of his temperament, dressed in a black shirt, carrying a bow and quiver on his back, his hair was not tied in a bun, his beard was scumbag, he looked unkempt and rugged. The man who rode the horse at the end was dressed in a white shirt, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome spirit, and a graceful and calm temperament. Even when he was sitting on a horse, his eyebrows were not stretched, as if he was worried about something. Falling on the frame of the last carriage, he was a silent and deep man, with a pitted face and some pockmarks, but with sharp edges and corners, a thoughtful temperament, and a tall figure, even if he sat on the frame, he looked burly and powerful, and his momentum was majestic.

This group of people obviously didn't come out to parade, they set off from Xizi Town early, and walked slowly on the road, everyone had their own concerns, and they should be people who went out to do errands.

The carriage was at the end, with some bumps. At this time, the curtain was lifted, and a person with a handsome face and beautiful eyebrows and red lips stretched out his head and shouted: "Su Lian, I want to ride a horse, sit in the car and die......"

This group of people is naturally Su Lian and a few. They stayed in Xizi Town for three days, and did more or less do some things, but they didn't hear any particularly useful news, so they planned to go directly to Yangzhou, where the Huaidong Provincial Propaganda Division was stationed.

The trip to Xizi Town, for Su Lian, in addition to surprise, there are also secrets. Although Zheng Shou has always been with him, he doesn't know many things. However, Su Lian couldn't discuss it with him, after all, the matter was too mysterious, and even he couldn't digest it for a while. Especially the matter of the Holy Maiden's Sect, he is still like a cloud and can't figure it out. And last night's events made this fog even thicker, so that he couldn't find his way at all.

At this moment, he urgently needs a light to guide him to find a way out. Although Zheng Shou has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and has seen a lot of things, he is not this bright light.

Hearing Ma Xiuying's shout, Su Lian turned around and said, "There are no extra horses now, or ...... Do you come down for a walk? ”

The carriage was sent by Li Baimu. He saw that Su Lian and the others had a lot of luggage, and there was a woman, so he said that it was more convenient to have a carriage, and directly sent the carriage to the door of the inn. Su Lian was in high spirits, and there were indeed a lot of luggage for a few people, especially Ma Xiuying, who was light when she came out, and when she came to Xizi Town for a few days, she suddenly had a few more bags of things, and she didn't know what they were.

Seeing that there was a carriage to sit in, Ma Xiuying was excited for a while, volunteered to take the carriage, and abandoned her horse. The soft cloth cushions in the carriage are spacious, and it is more than enough for four or five people. Of course, Su Lian didn't want to take the carriage, and felt that it was better to ride the horse by himself, so Ma Xiuying happily sat on it alone. At first, she was full of curiosity and freshness, but when she was only three miles out of Xizi Town, she was tired of it, couldn't sit still at all, and complained to Su Lian.

"Hey, you're angry with me, aren't you?" Seeing that Su Lian didn't care about her, Ma Xiuying pouted again, and said, "It's bumpy and stuffy in the carriage, it's so boring...... and then smiled and said, "Why don't you come in and sit?" It's okay to chat with me to relieve boredom......"

Su Lian shook his head and said, "You said that it was bumpy and stuffy inside, I was not interested...... As he spoke, he secretly pointed at Guo Zheng forward, and whispered to Ma Xiuying: "You can ask him to chat with you...... Ahahaha......" He couldn't help but laugh when he finished speaking.

Guo Zheng and Cheng Mo don't talk much, but Cheng Mo is a character, and he abides by his duty and never interjects much. Guo Zheng is not wooden, and he is also a very sensitive and knowledgeable person, and he can talk to the truth. He just doesn't like to talk, or is too lazy to talk.

Su Lian pointed to Guo Zheng and asked Ma Xiuying to chat with him, which was also ridiculing Ma Xiuying. Sure enough, Ma Xiuying pouted and retracted back into the car, which made him laugh again.

"Brother Su, there seems to be someone ...... in front of the post pavilion," Zheng Shou turned around and said.

Every big city and big town likes to build a pavilion four or five miles away from the city, which can be used for visitors to rest and tidy up, and can also be used as a place to send off guests. There are large and small pavilions, and they are generally called post pavilions.

At this time, in the post pavilion outside Xizi Town, there were indeed a few people looking at Su Lian and waving their hands, and under a closer look, they seemed to be women.

A few people turned their horses to speed up their pace, and when they got closer, they saw clearly that they were the sisters of the Yue family and the four of Qin Qu. These four people stand together, like four strange flowers, each with a faint fragrance, each showing its rich rhyme, which is dazzling and dizzying for a while.

Su Lian dismounted and walked over, and said aloud to them, "Everyone, have you had breakfast?" ”

"Poof", Yue Wanwan laughed, glanced at Su Lian, and said with a smile: "Master Su, we are here early in the morning, we are here to see you off, can you stop joking and be a little more serious?" ”

"People are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic......" Su Lian said with a smile: "A few people are not afraid of the cold weather, waiting here to see me off, I am naturally grateful, and I should be ...... if I care."

These four stunning faces are indeed dusty, especially Qin Qu, who is even more haggard, as if he didn't sleep well last night, and his eyes are slightly red.

"I was touched by the hearts of several people. Don't say much more about the words of sorrow. I wish you all a good meal, drink, sleep, a good mood, and be more beautiful in the future...... "Su Lian didn't like to be sad and parting, so he said some hearty words to spice up the atmosphere.

Yue Fan also smiled and said: "Su Gongzi's words, it seems that you are seeing us off, so that we don't know how to pick it up......" paused, and said: "But it's almost time, our sisters will leave here in the near future......"

"Oh? You're leaving, too? Why is that? Su Lian said strangely.

"What Su Gongzi explained, we have to do it......" Yue Bin smiled and said: "In addition to the eldest sister staying in charge, Wan Wan and I will go to various branches to explain the investigation after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Qin Qu will also travel to various places next month, one is to investigate, and the other is to inspect. ”

"So that's ......" Su Lian nodded and said, "That's really hard work......

"Maybe one day, we will meet Su Gongzi on the rivers and lakes......" Yue Wanwan said playfully.

"That's good, I also hope to meet you often......" Su Lian said heartily, and seeing that Yue Qingru had been on the side without speaking, he took the initiative to care about her: "Miss Yue, is your physical injury better?" ”

Seeing him ask, Yue Qingru nodded and replied, "It's much better, thank you Gongzi Su for your concern...... Her voice was still cold, but it was not as blunt and distant as before.

Su Lian sighed slightly, feeling that the estrangement in Yue Qingru's heart might not be able to be broken for a while. He turned his head to Qin Qu and said, "Qin Qu, take care of yourself, do you know?" If you want to be bullied, you must know how to overcome rigidity with softness......"

"Qin Qu knows. Childe, you are too...... You have to ...... well," Qin Qu said, his nose was sour, his eyes were full of tears, and he was choked up.

"Okay, okay, I can't see a woman crying anymore...... That's it, everyone cherishes each other, farewell! Su Lian saw that Qin Qu was deeply affectionate, and he was reluctant to give up, so he hugged his fists and turned his head to leave.

The dial horse didn't go far, and a burst of music came, and the ensemble of the piano and flute played was the "farewell" made by himself last night. Su Lian looked back, Qin Qu stroked the qin, Yue Wanwan played the flute, the sound of the piano was harmonious, tactful and deep, the flute sound was dominant, melodious and crisp.

In a moment, Qin Qu's slightly hoarse singing voice came from the soft sorrow:

"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green; The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered; A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream of the cold tonight......"

The sound of horses' hooves grew urgent, and the singing grew farther and farther away.
