Chapter 17: Departure
"Master, the apprentice is here. Yu Yao saw Shizun's cold face, and the depression just now immediately disappeared, and she saluted with a smile.
"Let's get started with today's homework. Ling Anfeng saw her arrival and nodded.
A month later, under Ling Anfeng's patient teaching, Yu Yao had been able to lift the seventh stone, refine ten kinds of pills, five types of formations, and her combat experience had skyrocketed.
Emperor Qing no longer tracked down the disappearance of the ninth princess, as if the previous favor was like the moon in the water, and it was the most ruthless emperor's grace.
"Today, we set out to go to the Boundless City, and solve the things on the road by ourselves, just a little, without the power of chaos to fight the enemy. After Ling Anfeng finished speaking, he went to explain the housekeeper's affairs for the next two months.
Yu Yao thought that she would not be able to see her family for a long time when she went out this time, so she immediately changed into a woman who was only delicate, climbed over the wall and landed, and ran directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She stood at the base of the wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, sensing that there was no one around, so she climbed over the wall and entered, picked a path that was empty, and arrived in front of the study in a short time. There were two guards guarding the door, and when they saw Yu Yao, they hurriedly shouted in a low voice, "Stop, the prime minister's study is not allowed to enter, you should leave quickly." ”
Yu Yao didn't turn to leave, but took out a plain silver hairpin from her arms, and said softly, "You give this hairpin to the prime minister." The guard hesitantly took the hairpin and looked at her suspiciously, but still knocked on the door and handed it to the prime minister's personal servant.
After a while, the prime minister hurriedly opened the door of the study, and when he saw the slightly handsome woman in front of him, he felt slightly lost, "Who are you?
"Back to the Prime Minister, please take the little girl to see the Prime Minister's wife. After saying that, he winked at him slyly. When the prime minister saw the glass-like eyes, his heart was filled with great joy, and he was about to step forward to hug her, but he left the people around him, coughed, waved his sleeves with both hands, left a sentence to follow, and took the lead in striding to Ruoyun Temple.
Wakaun-in
Li Shi saw at a glance that this was his daughter, and when all the subordinates retreated, he couldn't wait to step forward and hold his daughter in his arms, reading Yao'er in his mouth, his body trembled slightly, and tears wet Yuyao's placket. After a while, she let go of Yu Yao, turned her head and silently wiped away her tears, with the first smile on her face in a month,
"Father, mother, you say you have something to look for me?" Shangguan Yu saw the woman in front of her mother turn her head, her heart was shocked, she stepped forward quickly, looked carefully, the corners of her mouth rose, and looked at her dotingly.
The four of them sat in the pavilion, and Yu Yao picked out the important things that the national teacher had learned this month, and said that there was no mention of those trials. When the three of them heard that Yu Yao could cultivate, they were shocked and joyful in their hearts, but they felt even more sorry for her.
"Father, mother, brother, Shizun is going to take me out of the imperial capital to go to the easternmost city of Dayan, about two months, you can rest assured, with Shizun here, it will be very safe. Although he didn't know how to make a move, Yu Yao thought secretly.
The three of them reluctantly escorted her to the door, and did not close the door until she was out of sight.
"Master, we still need five days to reach Boundless City. Yu Yao put down the topography map in her hand and looked at her master, they had been away from the imperial capital for three days, God knows how she came over these three days, whenever people saw the face of the master, there were always bold women who came up to talk. Shizun's face that was not close to anyone couldn't stop those women who were like moths, he didn't reply, he just talked to Yu Yao, causing her to stand next to her and almost being shot into a sieve by the eye knife. Later, she became a pampered and proud maid in the eyes of others.
When Ling Anfeng heard her words, he opened his eyes, looked at her indifferently, and said, "Go to the town in front and stay for the night." After speaking, he frowned and closed his eyes.
Yu Yao responded, she only learned yesterday that Shizun was seasick, and every time she was in the carriage, she frowned, lost her appetite, and only felt a little funny in her heart.
Two hours later, the carriage traveled to a small city, there were many stalls on both sides of the street, the goods were dazzling, overwhelmed, the carriage stopped in front of the inn, the two received everyone's attention as soon as they got off the car, Yu Yao was used to it, do her duty as a humble maid, and stand behind the master as a background board.
"Why are you standing behind me?" Ling Anfeng didn't understand Yu Yao's careful thoughts, and pulled her to his side with a frown. Yu Yao saw the disdainful eyes of the people around her, as if she was the lump of cow dung.
Straightening his back, he tilted his head and glanced at the people, "Yes, Childe." "A pampered and arrogant little maid, seeing those angry eyes, her heart was secretly refreshed.
Ling Anfeng only felt that the apprentice had been a little strange in the past three days, with strange expressions and strange movements, and without thinking deeply, he walked into the inn.
"Three upper rooms, hot water ready, meals delivered directly upstairs. Yu Yao ignored the gazes of the people around her, and habitually asked for three rooms.
"I'm sorry, officer, but there are only two upper rooms left in our store. The shopkeeper scratched his head with a hint of doubt, remembering in his mind that there were obviously three left, why there were only two left in the blink of an eye.
"Well, two is two. Yu Yao replied indifferently, after many years of wandering outside, Yu Yao had already regarded herself as a man, and she didn't think there was anything wrong, she asked the groom to live in another room, and she and Shizun lived in one room.
After handing over the silver, Xiao Er led to the door and turned down, and the two opened the door and walked into the room. There are very few objects in the room, a screen is facing the door, a few red plums are painted on the screen, around the screen, a few steps away is the bed, there is a window on the right side, outside the window is a maple forest, under the window is a wooden table, two wooden chairs.
The two didn't speak, sitting across the table, the maple forest outside the window, the maple leaves were fiery red, like fire dyeing half of the sky, the autumn breeze was blowing, and the summer heat was quietly passing.
"Master, autumn is coming, should we buy a few winter clothes tomorrow?" Yu Yao held her chin and looked at the maple forest, did not turn her head, and asked softly. After getting along with Shizun for a long time, I know that although he is indifferent, does not like words, is not good at communicating, and even his expression is light, in fact, he is just lazy and does not want to deal with it, but he is very patient with himself.
Ling Anfeng was only dressed in white all year round, and he didn't feel hot or cold, he thought about it, thinking that her cultivation was the ninth layer of living beings, and he answered it.
Hearing a knock on the door, she opened the door, Xiao Er put the hot water in the bucket, closed the door and left. "Master, you wash first. When I saw the bathtub, I realized that I was a daughter, and I said that I was ready to go out.
"You go first. Ling Anfeng walked past her and went out directly to bring the door.
"Okay. Yu Yao muttered to herself, let go of her restraints, and hurriedly raised her legs into the bucket, sighed, and swept away the exhaustion of her body. After washing, simply dry the hair, let it loose behind the back, and put on your own custom-made white clothes, the style is simple, and the subtleties show the unique beauty.
When I opened the door, I saw a beautiful woman in front of Shizun, she was wearing a white dress, looking at Shizun's eyes with implied affection, her face was like a peach blossom, and her expression was shy. Yu Yao couldn't see Shizun's expression, so she couldn't guess what they said.
Ling Anfeng turned around and saw that her green silk was scattered, dressed in simple white clothes, her face was slightly red after bathing, her lips were gorgeous, her expression sank, and her heart was slightly uncomfortable, so she pulled her in, closed the door, Yu Yao saw the woman's dim eyes, and the heart Dao master was a demon who did evil.
"Bring the hosta. Ling Anfeng stretched out his white jade-like palm to Yu Yao and said coldly.
Yu Yao didn't know why Shizun was in a bad mood, so she obediently put the hosta in his hand, thinking to herself if it disturbed the relationship between the two, it seems that you should pay attention to it next time.
I couldn't hold back the curiosity in my heart, glanced at Shizun's face, and asked carefully, "Master, what are you talking about with the woman just now?"
"What does it matter to me what she said?" Ling Anfeng replied disappreciatively, carefully pulling her long waterfall hair with a hairpin.
"Actually, Shizun doesn't have to be so troublesome, anyway, I'll have to put it down when I sleep. Yu Yao only felt troublesome, anyway, eating in the room, it was okay with her hair scattered.
Ling Anfeng was stunned for a moment, he just saw her with her hair scattered in front of people, a little dazzling, so he pulled her into the room hairpin, now that he thought about it, he felt that it was indeed a bit of a superfluous move, and he put down the hairpin hairpin.
Shangguan Yuyao: ............
The two sat at the table, Ling Anfeng saw her three thousand green silks scattered behind her, and did not show her true face, her water autumn pupils were bright and bright, very smart, full lips, dripping cherry-like pink lips, the jade neck was slightly tilted, her right hand was on the table, holding her little face, and she looked out of the window lazily.
When Ling Anfeng looked over, he turned his head to look out the window as if nothing had happened.
"Master, aren't you bathing?" Yu Yao tilted her head to look at him.
"No, I don't. He looked at Yu Yao and didn't want her to go out like this, so he pinched a trick with both hands, like a layer of water on his body, which dissipated in a blink of an eye, and then put down his hand in a moment.
"Huh, Master, what were you doing just now?" Yu Yao became active, sat up straight and looked at him, secretly happy in her heart.
"Cleansing, micro-end spells. I will pass it into your mind and cultivate it on my own. Ling Anfeng didn't say much, he understood that he was very stubborn about spells, and his finger tapped her forehead.
Yu Yao closed her eyes, her hands slowly moved, slowly, water lines appeared on her body, and after a while, she opened her eyes happily, her eyes were moist, and she stood up and saluted, "Yu Yao, thank you, Master." ”
After the two had dinner, Yu Yao pinched the cleaning technique a few more times before she put down her hand satisfied. The two looked at the only bed in the room, and it was rare for them to be silent at the same time.
"I remember, there are a few quilts in the white jade bracelet, I took them out and laid them on the floor, Master, you can sleep on the bed. Yu Yao patted her head, took out two quilts and a pillow from the jade bracelet, and spread them on the other side of the screen.
"You go to bed. Ling Anfeng walked over to himself, lifted the quilt, closed his clothes and lay down.
"Okay, if the master can't sleep, change back. Yu Yao took a look, then walked to the bed, took off her shoes and socks, lay on the bed, looked straight at the top of the bed, and closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.
Ling Anfeng listened to her breathing slowly, then turned around and faced the screen, through the screen, he could dimly see the bed bulging, remembering that in the daytime, her clever smile was beautiful, eccentric, smiled lightly, and closed her eyes.
On the second day, Yu Yao opened the door and saw the woman in front of her, feeling very headache.
