Frustration haunted Xue Shao's heart.

However, this is the first time he has suffered such setbacks and unhappiness since he came to Datang. The desires, ideals, and aspirations in my heart are in sharp contrast to the cold reception I received from Wu Zetian today.

Xue Shao's mood became a little depressed and depressed for a while, he couldn't understand that the queen of heaven and the imperial court would make such a decision, isn't it now the time when the generals are scarce and urgently need the new generation of generals to rise? Before, didn't Wu Zetian always be so committed to cultivating me?

Why did you suddenly turn your face now, completely remove me from the army, and throw me to the military department to become a teacher in charge of the martial arts academy?

There were too many questions to figure out, which made Xue Shao both distressed and resentful. Especially when I think of the fact that I have endured all the hardships in the army and even been born and died in the past six months, it is to gain military merits and stand in the army since then, and I have indeed made some contributions in the end. It's just that I never thought that those military exploits not only did not get the treatment I expected, but also backfired, and even the generals couldn't do it from now on.

It's like an NBA professional basketball player who helps the team win a championship with a good performance, but instead of getting a new salary increase, the team cuts him.

What is the taste of this, how can it be unwilling, incomprehensible and indignant!

……

A lot of negative emotions surged into Xue Shao's heart at the same time, and his mood became very corrupt. However, in the past and present lives, he has experienced many ups and downs, which has made Xue Shao practice a habit of joy and anger. After leaving the room where Wu Zetian was, Xue Shao just walked alone with an expressionless face and a silent voice, not caring about waiting for Princess Taiping to leave together. Now, he just wants to walk aimlessly to a secluded place where no one is around, so that he can calm down and think about it.

How can a place like the Ming harem allow others to move around at will? Soon, some Jinwuwei soldiers who were inspecting the forbidden palace discovered Xue Shao, but fortunately, these soldiers also knew him, so they politely asked him not to wander around at will, and it would be better to leave the forbidden house as soon as possible.

Xue Shao became more and more annoyed in his heart, thinking to himself that I should go to the head office of the Xuanwu Palace, right? ——That's where the martial arts academy is located, and it's my own territory as the incoming "soldier of the military department"!

With a depressed mood, Xue Shao returned to the Martial Arts Academy for the first time after returning from the expedition.

After Xue Shao walked in, he found that compared to more than half a year ago, there was almost no change in the current Martial Arts Academy, and it still maintained the same as when he left. There seemed to be a voice in the classroom, which sounded like Xiao Zhizhong's voice, as if he was telling the students about the "Lantian Secret Code".

Xue Shao's heart was even more depressed, no wonder Wu Zetian would say that Yuan Wanqing was too old to talk about the martial arts academy.

In fact, the real intention of opening the Lecture Martial Arts Institute was to strengthen the infiltration and control of the Beiya Forbidden Army. Previously, due to the pressure of Li Shangdan, the general of Zuo Yu Linwei, the Martial Arts Academy, had been cowering in the Xuanwu Hall and did not set foot in the Beiya. Now that more than half a year has passed, Li Shangdan is gone, how come this is still the same as the old three I left behind, even the site of the hospital has not been moved, and the teaching is also the same Lantian secret code, and even the teaching method has not changed at all?

Xue Shao just glanced at the classroom and didn't want to look at it more, so he walked towards his official office on the second floor, preparing to be quiet there. He had just gone upstairs to the corner when he suddenly heard a voice from the room near the staircase.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's just the right time!"

The voice fell, and the door was opened. A young man in a white robe bowed to the door, "Young Master Xue, you are finally willing to come back to see Xiaosheng!" ”

Who else could there be? Half-hung god stick Li Xianyuan!

Xue Shao glanced at him angrily, walked into his room quietly, and saw that there were two sets of coffee tables sitting on the couch in the room, and there was already a pot of tea that had just been boiled and was bubbling with a faint vapor and fragrance.

"You're entertaining?" Xue Shao asked casually.

"Nope. Waiting for Xue Gongzi to come. Li Xianyuan smiled and walked back from the door, "Childe, please take a seat!" ”

"Do you know I'm coming?" Xue Shao said curiously.

"Childe, didn't you forget, Xiaosheng can pinch and count...... Ahem, well! Li Xianyuan was glared at by Xue Shao, and admitted with a dry smile, "Originally, I planned to enjoy half a day of leisure by myself, drink a pot of tea in the room and read a good book for half a day." I accidentally saw Childe coming from the window, so I prepared an extra pair of tea sets to sit on. ”

"If you don't brag, can you die?" Xue Shao was depressed in his heart, scolded him a few words, and then sat down and said angrily, "Don't pestle, serve me tea!" ”

"Yo, it's not a small fire!" Li Xianyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly served tea to Xue Shao, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Xue Shao drank three cups of tea in a row in silence before he let out a sullen breath from his chest.

"I'm making this good tea, isn't it? I can calm my mind. Li Xianyuan said with a grin.

"It's none of your business." Xue Shao sneered, "I figured it out and was relieved." ”

Li Xianyuan blinked curiously, "What else is there in this world that can make Xue Gongzi depressed?" ”

"More than last year." Xue Shao was about to speak, but suddenly thought that Li Xianyuan was the queen mother's person, so he swallowed some words back alive.

Li Xianyuan saw that Xue Shao didn't want to say more, so he didn't blindly ask, but just smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if you don't have a good life, there are nine times out of ten. Whenever something unfavorable happens, Xiaosheng will think of those homeless people who can't eat enough, and the poor disabled people who have lost their hands and feet. Compared to them, the little that Xiao Sheng encountered was nothing at all. So I laughed and everything was over! ”

"......" Xue Shao was speechless at first, and then laughed dumbly, "You are really, no heart, no lungs, no worries!" ”

"Childe is ridiculous! Xiaosheng, this is - cultivation, cultivation! Li Xianyuan said with a glance, "Xiaosheng has cultivated since childhood, although he has not been able to rise in the daytime, but he still cultivates a natural heart that is at peace with encounters and contented and happy." In Xiaosheng's view, nothing in this world is worth the word 'inaction'. ”

"Shut up. I'm not in the mood to talk to you about inaction and cultivation right now. Xue Shao patted the coffee table, "Serve tea!" ”

Li Xianyuan smiled and added tea to Xue Shao, and said, "Then let's talk, what has Gongzi Shicai figured out, and what are the reliefs?" ”

Xue Shao's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, and said with a slightly wry smile: "I have figured out some questions, I will never be able to figure it out, but I must figure it out." I was relieved of something that shouldn't have weighed on my heart at all. ”

"......" Li Xianyuan straightened his eyes and shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand at all.

Seeing his stupid expression, Xue Shao finally gave a rare smile and said, "Thank you." I'll go back to my room. ”

Li Xianyuan was confused, "Thank me for what?" ”

"Tea."

Xue Shao left after speaking, but after going out, he couldn't help but smile gracefully, having such a heartless and heartless funny friend as Li Xianyuan is sometimes a blessing.

Xue Shao's room is kept neat and clean, and it can be seen that someone is cleaning here every day. The desk and bed are still the same as when they were first inhabited, and nothing has changed.

Inadvertently, Xue Shao saw a half-foot-long peach branch in a corner of the bookshelf, and a few February peach blossoms had completely withered and withered at the end of the branch.

This was sent by Shangguan Wan'er at the beginning.

Xue Shao picked up the peach branch, and the petals still had a slight fragrance. He walked over to the window as he had done before, pushed it open, and looked in the direction of the Akisein.

It's no longer the season of peach blossoms, and the autumn decay is full of sights outside the window. But in the midst of a bare peach forest, a miraculous figure appeared.

Slim and elegant, fluttering, like a fairy.

Shangguan Wan'er, still as elegant and tranquil as when she first saw her, holding a book and walking among the flying flowers and broken leaves in the autumn wind, walked and groaned.

Seeing such a strange and beautiful picture, Xue Shao's originally restless and restless heart suddenly became much cooler and calmer.

At this moment, an uninvited guest crept into the room. Xue Shao was angry and funny, as fast as lightning and grabbed Li Xianyuan's neck with his backhand, "What are you doing?" ”

"I, I see that my son's mood is different, I'm afraid you won't want to do stupid things!" Li Xianyuan screamed in pain and struggled to beg for mercy.

Xue Shao let go of him, "Breaking your neck, is it considered a stupid thing?" ”

"No, no, that's called doing the right thing for heaven." Li Xianyuan rubbed his neck with a smirk, glanced out the window, and had a warm and strange smile, "Childe has good eyes, and he came at the right time." ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Xianyuan said: "For most of the past six months, Miss Shangguan Wan'er has come here to study at this time every day, regardless of cold or summer, rain or shine, every day for an hour until dark. ”

"Every day?"

"Every day!"

Xue Shao's heart suddenly felt a sense of emotion and guilt. I remember that in the days when I was talking about the martial arts academy in the past, it was at this time of the day that I would open the window and have a distant date with Shangguan Wan'er, which almost formed a habit at that time, and it was also the wordless tacit understanding between the two.

More than half a year has passed, and Xue Shao is not in Chang'an on his own expedition, but Shangguan Wan'er still maintains this habit, quietly guarding the tacit understanding and agreement.

"Are you waiting for me, Wan'er?" Xue Shao groaned softly in his heart.

Between people, there may really be a sixth kind of induction. Almost as Xue Shao silently recited this sentence in his heart, Shangguan Wan'er in the peach forest on the other side turned around and raised her beauty mantis head, looking in the direction where Xue Shao was.

The autumn breeze is bleak, and the falling flowers are colorful.

Xue Shao couldn't see Shangguan Wan'er's face and expression in the distance, but he felt that Shangguan Wan'er was smiling at him. The smile on her face was as delicate and beautiful as a February peach, warm and fragrant.

"Wan'er, I have to talk to you face to face. Right now! ”
