Chapter 275: Shu Dao is difficult
Taking advantage of the wind and snow, Liu Xi strode towards the room, the lights in the room had not faded, and the orange halo exuded a faint warmth.
Liu Xi understood that Tian Xun'er was waiting for him to return to the room.
Immediately, the steps under his feet inevitably became a little bigger, and he walked to the door in three steps and two steps, gently pushed open the door, flashed in sideways, and quickly closed the cold wind outside the house.
In the room, Tian Xun'er and Wu Shuang'er were bowing their heads and embroidering under the lamp.
Hearing the movement, Tian Xun'er hurriedly dropped the needle and thread in her hand, stepped forward with a smile, and brushed the snowflakes off Liu Xi's shoulders, "It's snowing again, and I don't know when there will be a warm time this day." ”
While talking, Tian Xun'er turned around and poured tea for Liu Xi and handed it over, and said very casually, "It's cold outside, Sister Shuang'er won't go back to the house tonight." ”
"Ahem......"
Liu Xi, who was drinking tea, was immediately choked by a mouthful of water, and Tian Xun'er was so shocked that he stepped forward to help him pat his back, "How can you drink water like this, is the tea too hot?" ”
This girl, knowingly asking questions, has grown a lot.
Liu Xi, who was blushing from coughing, squinted at Kaoru Shita, who saw it and naturally smiled silently.
The two of them are like this, Wu Shuang'er still lowered his head, his little face was so red that he was almost dripping, the embroidery needle in his hand did not move for a long time, and his ears were straight and straight, as if he wanted to listen to Liu Xi and Tian Xun'er's words.
In all fairness, Liu Xi really wants to be slept together, hugging left and right, how fragrant and charming. It's just that Wu Shuang'er is still young, although she has reached the age of marriage in this life, but in Liu Xi's eyes, she is still just a young girl, so all along, Liu Xi has only a thief's heart, but no thief's courage.
It's just that today, for some reason, the two little girls suddenly became like this, which surprised Liu Xi.
Naturally, there was still a bit of excitement in my heart.
"Shuang'er, stop embroidering, the lights in the room are too dim, it hurts your eyes."
Liu Xi also felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little shy, pinched the tip of his nose, and said with a dry smile, who knew that after Wu Shuang'er heard this, the clouds suddenly floated to the tips of his ears.
Childe doesn't let the embroidery, is this going to bed to rest?
Suddenly, her heart beat like a deer, so fast that even she could clearly hear the sound of 'poof, puff, puff', and even a little out of breath.
"Childe, Shuang'er will fetch you water to wash."
Wu Shuang'er dropped the embroidered things in her hand, got up and was about to go out, Liu Xi grabbed her, "Shuang'er, I'll go by myself, if you don't feel well, go back to the room to rest first." ”
Hearing this, Wu Shuang'er said weakly, "I have already agreed with Sister Xun'er, and I will spend the night here today." ”
After that, without waiting for Liu Xi to come back to his senses, his body was like a little white rabbit, blinking his eyes and burrowing into the bed of the big red satin face, so that his shameful appearance would not be seen by others.
With such an appearance, although Liu Xi was very excited in his heart, he couldn't help but have a little embarrassing smile on his face.
"I'm still stunned, let's go wash up and rest early."
Tian Xun'er covered her mouth and said with a smile, pushed Liu Xi out of the room, turned back to the bed and whispered to Wu Shuang'er.
Liu Xi, who was outside the house, only felt that his blood was boiling, he took big steps to fetch water, and after washing himself in three or two, he couldn't wait to go back to the house.
Pushing the door in, the sound in the house also stopped abruptly, obviously, Liu Xi's reappearance made the ambiguous atmosphere in the room dissolve again.
"It's getting late, hurry up and go to bed!"
Don't do anything else, Liu Xi smiled and went straight to the point, while walking to the bed, while unbuttoning his jacket, his action suddenly made Wu Shuang'er, whose face was flushed, bury his head in the quilt again, even Tian Xun'er's face began to float red, hesitating beside the bed, and there was no movement for a long time.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to have become more beautiful.
"I said I wanted to rest early, why didn't I see any movement for a long time, even so, why don't I help you undress." Seeing this, Liu Xi laughed and hugged Tian Xun'er into his arms, and waved his sleeves to extinguish the flaming lamp.
Frightened, Tian Xun'er was shy, but fortunately, the lights had gone out, and she just took off her dress half-pushed in Liu Xi's arms.
In this way, Liu Xi was even more distracted, this night, the flowers were red and willow green, and several degrees of ileum; The warbler and the swallow are all spring.
In the meantime, this taste is really not enough to be humane with outsiders.
The sky was slightly bright, Liu Xi, who had been hearty all night, opened his eyes, and in his arms, Wu Shuang'er was hunched over, sleeping soundly, a wisp of green silk fell on the tip of his nose, gently undulating with his breathing.
In front of the bronze mirror, the pretty figure is already doing makeup in the mirror.
Liu Xi carefully pulled his arm out from under Wu Shuang'er's neck, thinking that he was too tired as a beginner, Wu Shuang'er muttered a few words, turned around and continued to fall asleep.
"I woke up so early, why don't I sleep more."
Holding Tian Xun'er from behind, Liu Xi buried her head in her hair, and her nose was full of heart-warming fragrance.
Warm and delicate.
Tian Xun'er was a hint of reddened Caixia flew to the snowy skin, stretched out her hand and gently pushed Liu Xi away, "Liu Lang is still going to travel today, Xun'er has to prepare bags for you." ”
After that, he got up, pointed to Wu Shuang'er on the bed, and his watery eyes seemed to be smiling, and then walked out lightly.
For the little girl's playful appearance, Liu Xi smiled and ignored it, and helped Wu Shuang'er, who was still sleeping, to cover the quilt, and he put on his clothes without feeling sleepy, and went to the yard as usual, wanting to fight and move his muscles and bones.
At the end of the clouds, the heavy fog suppressed the faint sunlight, and the chill in the morning breeze did not dissipate, blowing Liu Xi's long shirt hunting.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Xi started Tai Chi again.
After the morning exercise, Wu Shuang'er also got up, and the hairstyle of the double bun also changed to the same falling bun as Tian Xun'er, and a crimson suddenly appeared on her face when she saw Liu Xi.
But it's heart-wrenching.
At breakfast, the sharp-eyed Ma Xiu and others discovered Wu Shuang'er's changes, but they were about to set off, and the road ahead was unpredictable, so they didn't make a few jokes, but made Wu Shuang'er, who was apprehensive, a little surprised.
After eating breakfast, Liu Xi couldn't help but ask Wu Luoxing to stay in Yangqu City, so as to take care of it, after all, Li Tang's situation was unstable, and he had not occupied the northern frontier for a long time.
Wu Luoxing is also a cheerful person, and he responded to Liu Xi's request without thinking, "The best wine in the world is here, you don't need to tell me, I won't go anywhere old man." ”
This statement was immediately echoed by Lin Yi, "What Elder Wu said is extremely ......"
was about to say something to meet a confidant, but was immediately silenced by a crisp cough from Lu Ruier beside him.
And so, the sound of laughter spread.
After breakfast, Liu Xi and Tian Xun'er gave a few words, and they were about to set off with Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu, and when they walked outside the camp gate, a column of black armor soldiers stood quietly on a tall horse.
The morning light, which finally tore through the clouds to reveal his face, shone on the armor of the dark iron, glowing with a cold light that pierced the eyes.
The "Thirteen Taibao" headed by Huyan Qingshi is ready to go.
Seeing Liu Xi and his entourage coming out, everyone jumped down on horseback, and Huyan Qingshi strode forward, and took the lead very respectfully and bent over and saluted, "Master Hou, I want to go with Master Hou." ”
Liu Xi didn't expect them to do this, since these lonely teenagers came with him, they have played with their lives, and now they are considered to be a small achievement, so they naturally want to follow Liu Xi.
Hearing Hu Yan Qingshi's words, Liu Xi swept around the rest of the people, with a begging look on his face, and he was quite moved in his heart, but he still shook his head slowly.
Liu Xi watched these children grow up, and Liu Xi didn't want them to give their lives in vain.
This trip is either dangerous or dangerous, although Huyan Qingshi has surpassed ordinary people, but if they go to Nanshu, I am afraid it will not be enough to deal with it.
Therefore, it is the best choice to stay in Yangqu City and help Lin Yi defend the northern frontier.
After shaking his head, Liu Xi stretched out his hand to stop Huyan Qingshi, who was about to speak, "Break the captivity, you have to stay in Yangqu City, listen to Brother Mengjue's dispatch, and ensure that when I come back, everything in the northern Xinjiang will be stable." ”
Liu Xi patted Huyan Qingshi's shoulder, "The stability of northern Xinjiang is related to the overall situation......
After Liu Xi finished saying this, Huyan Qingshi accepted the appearance of the previous implementation, and made a very solemn salute, "Master Hou, please rest assured, we will defend the northern frontier with our lives!" ”
"Very good, when you bring me back, you will have a pot of wine with you!"
Laughing, Liu Xi took the bag in Tian Xun'er's hand, jumped on the horse, and then whipped away, after all, this parting moment is the most heartbreaking, it is better to be free.
Behind him, Ma Xiu, Xiao Wu and Dugu Qiufeng, who came to report the news, hurriedly got on the horse and chased after him.
Yangqu City is in the northernmost part of Li Tang, and Nanshu is the southernmost point, the distance between this can be no less than 10,000 miles, because Ma Xiu's heart is in a hurry, so the group of people non-stop day and night, finally arrived at the southernmost city of Li Tang Ji'an two months later.
In fact, the city of Ji'an was not called Ji'an, since ancient times, the Han and Shu people have been in constant conflict, especially Ji'an, which is the closest to Shu, so after Li Tang opened the country, after several major wars with Shu, the two sides decided not to offend each other, and it was at that time that the city of Ji'an was given the name Ji'an by the Tang Emperor.
I want to imply that this suffering city can become auspicious and stable.
The war has subsided for hundreds of years, and there are Shu people wearing animal jackets in Ji'an City, but they are also distinct, and the small number of Shu people is also limited to the same kind.
Just because these people are full of fierce faces, they are probably outlaws who fled from Shu, and the Han people can't hide from them.
There are also square-faced and high-nosed Shu people who put on robes and go in and out of the Han people, but they are also very familiar, this kind of person is the person who does business between Li Tang and Nanshu, and there are very few.
Because the Shu Road is difficult, everyone rested in Ji'an City for a night, and Liu Xi could clearly feel that Ma Xiu was becoming more and more restless.
It seems that he can't wait to fly to the side of Emperor Shu with wings to protect the person who loves him the most.
But he seems to be extremely reluctant to go further, after all, there are swords and fratricides ahead.
It seems that he still has some feelings for the royal brother who rebelled.
At such a moment, in such a situation, Liu Xi didn't know how to persuade him, when the sky was slightly bright, Liu Xi saw that the light in the horse embroidery house was still there when he went out, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Another sleepless night.
After a simple breakfast, while there were not many people on the street, the group set off again.
Outside Anji City, the towering Shu Mountain can be faintly seen, and the only way to reach between Shu and Li Tang is through Shu Mountain, and Shu Mountain is dangerous and difficult to walk, which is why the criminals of Shu State fled to Anji safely.
The farther south you go, the fewer pedestrians there are, and along the way, you see a few sporadic businessmen, these poor people borrow their courage to go back and forth with Li Tang and Shu to beg for a living.
Under the rapid travel, I finally arrived at the foot of Shu Mountain before sunset, and the scene in front of me can really be described as a stone blocking the clouds, a deep valley under the outline, and a depressed disk on the stratum rock.
Looking at the Shushan Mountain, where the flying beam is set up and the plank road connects to the dangerous mountains, Liu Xi couldn't help but have an extremely familiar sentence in his heart.
It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky.
