Chapter 896: When the Peach Blossoms Are Blooming
Xue Shao left, and Li Wen was tied back to his original state.
The body couldn't move and the mouth couldn't shout, but Li Wen's head didn't stop running for a moment. chewing Xue Shao's words repeatedly, cold sweat broke out on his head again.
He began to realize that his father and the uncles and brothers of the royal family had thought things too simply. They have been pampered by the royal family for decades, and they don't seem to have anything else except poetry, lyrics, songs, eating, drinking, and merrymaking. Compared with the tiger-like Xue Shao, they are really like a group of rabbits in a cage - they don't know the height of the sky, and they don't know their fate!
Even if they want to dominate the jungle, how can the tiger be with the rabbit?!
No odds!
They have no chance of winning!
The more Li Wen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and unconsciously, there was a chill in his lower body.
"Woo-woo!!" He began to struggle violently, desperately trying to make a sound.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.
Xue Shao returned to his residence alone, the sentry tower above the Shuozhou city wall. He likes to live in such a place, and when he opens the window, he can see the rivers and mountains like dragons.
There were more than a dozen city defense guards next to the residence, and when they saw Xue Shao, they all stood up straight.
Xue Shao was sure that they were all obedient, so he gave them an order to go to the prison city to find the two old scouts to report, and from now on, they just listened to their reprimand.
The pawns are gone.
Xue Shao stood alone by the female wall at the head of the city, quietly looking at the north.
The mountains are majestic, towering and undulating. The Great Wall is like a giant dragon, winding its way over it.
Every time he saw this scene, Xue Shao would have a feeling of openness and pride. Because all the history related to the Great Wall is so magnificent, singing and crying. Standing here, Xue Shao had the feeling of being in a majestic historical picture.
You are a member of history!
However, today, Xue Shao inadvertently saw somewhere in the foothills of the Great Wall, with a faint pink color. When you think about it, it seems that a peach blossom has bloomed in that place.
Spring is coming, and the flowers are blooming.
No one will plant peach blossoms in the mountains of the Great Wall, it may have been a gust of wind or a bird's miracle many years ago, but it added a little enchanting charm to this desolate and majestic area.
Xue Shao suddenly wanted to go to that peach forest to see. Between the golden iron horses, looking for a moment of pleasant and soft beauty.
It wasn't too far, just a short horseback ride.
Walking in the peach grove and breathing in the fresh air and the fragrance of flower petals may make your mind clearer. So as to come up with a foolproof way to deal with the trouble of Li Wen in front of him!
He got on his horse and was just about to walk to the north city, when a city guard came running from the south, and shouted urgently from a distance: "Xue Shuai, please stay!" ”
If there is no big thing, how dare the pawn stop the coach.
So Xue Shao stopped, "What's the matter?" ”
"Report Xue Shuai! Yes, there is ......" The pawn panted unevenly, raised his hand and pointed to the south gate, "The envoy from the state has arrived!" ”
"And the state envoy?" Xue Shao's eyebrows raised slightly, "Is it Governor Shi Li Xiaoyi?" ”
"The villain doesn't know." The pawn hurriedly said, "There is a team of chariots and horses, about fifty or sixty people, with no banner, no armor, and no official road. The envoy sat in the car, his face was very big, and he didn't get out of the car, but he sent a servant to talk to him, only saying that he was coming from Bingzhou, and there were 100,000 urgent things to ask to see Xue Shuai. ”
"And the state? 100,000 urgent? Xue Shao pondered for a moment, "Is there a letter or a post?" ”
"None of them." The pawn hurriedly replied, "The villain asked him for a sticker or an official certificate, and they didn't accept it." In the end, the owner of the car came out with a sentence, saying that as long as it was conveyed to Xue Shuai, Xue Shuai would naturally meet him. ”
Xue Shao's brows twisted slightly, "What words?" ”
"What does it look like...... What is peach, what flower? The pawn's face was bitter, "Xue Shuai forgives the sin, the villain has not read any books." That kind of awkward sentence, just remember and forget! ”
"The peach is dying, scorching its beauty?!"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
Xue Shao tilted his head and took a deep breath, his hands clenching the reins tightly, his knuckles rattling.
"Xue Shuai, how to distinguish it?"
Xue Shao said: "The chariots and horses entered the city and settled in the military post to rest. You yourself led their masters to the little peach grove outside the northern city to meet me! ”
"Yes!"
Xue Shaolema walked away and went straight to the north. Halfway through, he suddenly turned his horse's head and ran to his residence, rushed into the room, opened the boxes and cages that had been packed, and began to rummage like a little fu.
Hua Tian's embroidered clothes have been pressed into the box for a long time. When I turned it out again, it had already faded slightly and was slightly old.
Xue Shao changed into this outfit. For the first time in months, he looked in the mirror and looked at himself from head to toe.
"Well, handsome is just one word!" He couldn't help but laugh, like every man who goes on a first date with the goddess in his heart.
Go out, get on the horse, and go straight to the small peach forest outside the north city.
It's a bit remote here, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's a wilderness. The peach grove grows very messy, far from being comparable to the imperial garden in the imperial city. But when Xue Shao jumped off the horse and breathed the first breath of flowers, he had already decided that this was heaven and earth, a paradise.
Soon after.
Xue Shao saw a carriage coming in front of him, and in front of him was the pawn who reported the news on horseback leading the way.
The carriage was a very common standard, but it was the kind that every rich family would have. It walked slowly, and when it was near, the pawn clenched his fist and turned his horse's head, and walked away with great interest. Xue Shao saw the person who set up the car, he was a eunuch, and he was also a eunuch with extraordinary skills and hidden secrets.
Yang Siqiao couldn't be more familiar.
The carriage stopped. Yang Siqiao silently jumped off the horse and took a small wooden ladder and placed it next to the carriage.
Xue Shao looked at the carriage. He could almost hear his own drumming heartbeat.
The door opened.
She slowly leaned out. When she stepped on the small wooden ladder for the first time, she smiled at Xue Shao.
Xue Shao's heart was refreshed as quickly as a three-dimensional image made by a computer, and a world changed in an instant. He felt like he was suddenly back one night that year, in that flower-filled city of Chang'an, where there was no war.
At the door of Feng Chenwei's official office, Shangguan Wan'er at night, sitting in the car and lifting the curtain, also smiled so slightly.
Xue Shao will always remember how he felt at that time, just like now. It's like the heartbeat of the first love, and even the palms are sweaty.
Thousands of troops, blood, fire, rivers and mountains, will not let themselves feel like this.
Shangguan Wan'er got out of the car, Yang Siqiao put away the small wooden ladder and jumped into the seat, and drove away without saying a word. From beginning to end, he didn't even say hello to Xue Shao.
This seems to be very rude, but Xue Shao loves his rudeness this time.
Shangguan Wan'er stood there, smiling.
Some people are born like this.
A smile captivates the city, and then a smile captivates the country.
Xue Shao subconsciously rubbed his hands, wet. With his eyes moving around, he reached out and plucked a peach blossom and walked towards Shangguan Wan'er.
"For you." Xue Shao handed it forward.
"This is not the etiquette of meeting the secret envoys of the imperial court." Shangguan Wan'er smiled, raised her hand lightly, and took it into her hand.
Sniff lightly.
"Is it fragrant?" Xue Shao completely ignored her words. No matter what kind of secret envoy of the imperial court and commander of the three armies, now there are only Xue Shao and Shangguan Wan'er here.
"General." Shangguan Wan'er frowned and handed the flower branch back, "I want the most fragrant branch." ”
Xue Shao took a step closer and looked at her with a silly smile on his face.
"What are you smirking at?" A faint glow quietly climbed up Shangguan Wan'er's cheeks, and she said softly, "I asked you to change a branch, do you hear?" ”
"I hear you." Xue Shao replied and stepped forward again.
The two of them were almost face to face. Xue Shao smelled the fragrance of flowers, and the pleasant fragrance of the flowers in the center of her eyebrows.
"Then why don't you go quickly?"
Shangguan Wan'er lifted the flower branch and separated it between the two.
Between the lips of the two to be exact.
"I have thousands of troops and horses, and I can destroy cities, pull out villages, move mountains and reclaim seas." Xue Shao said softly, "If you want to support me to do things, you have to have some reason." ”
Shangguan Wan'er was smiling with her eyes. Then, she slowly closed her eyes.
Xue Shao's heart seemed to have played the battle song of the Northern Expeditionary Army's charge.
He stretched out a finger and gently brushed away the flower branch in front of him. Gently, facing Shangguan Wan'er's fiery red lips.
Kissed down.
As soon as she touched it, Shangguan Wan'er immediately opened her eyes and took a step back, and put the flower branch in front of Xue Shao, shaking it gently.
Well, I have a thousand troops, and you have a pair of red lips!
Xue Shao took the flower branch and turned around and walked towards the peach forest.
A moment later, a fire broke out in the small peach forest, causing all the troops to come to investigate.
Xue Shao had already ridden a horse, carried Shangguan Wan'er, and ran to a grassland far away from the peach forest.
It is still that peach blossom, Xue Shao will return to Shangguan Wan'er's hands, "Now, it is the most fragrant branch!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er snuggled in his arms, soft as boneless. Gently reaching out to take the peach branch, sniffing it between her noses, and shaking her head, "It's still average." ”
"Then I will burn all the peach blossoms in the world, and there is only one branch left in the world!"
Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip lightly and remained silent.
Xue Shao hugged her gently and didn't speak.
"You know where I'm from." Shangguan Wan'er said softly.
"Yes, I know."
After a moment of silence, Shangguan Wan'er said, "Then you are still holding me?" ”
"Anytime, I'll want to hold you."
"Jin Guyuan, you are talking drunk, I slapped you." Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were like smoke and rain.
"Now, you can plunge your sword into my chest, too." Xue Shao said, "As long as you let me hold you." ”
Shangguan Wan'er's tears slid down, cold like jade, dripping onto Xue Shao's hands.
Xue Shao hugged her tighter.
"Everyone in the world knows that Shangguan Wan'er is a talented person of the first emperor." She said suddenly.
Xue Shao caressed her face and kissed her.
"I only know that Shangguan Wan'er is Xue Shao's beloved woman!"
