Chapter 897: Your Peach Paradise
Huo'er carried Xue Shao and Shangguan Wan'er, walking aimlessly on the small grassland at the southern foot of the Great Wall. Turning the corner of a mountain, the eyes suddenly opened, like a large peach forest.
However, neither Xue Shao nor Shangguan Wan'er saw it. Because they have been kissing each other, they have never opened their eyes.
Fireear stepped on his hooves and suddenly trotted up.
The two parted at this time, and Xue Shao raised his hand and pointed, "Wan'er, look! ”
"Xanadu?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at the sea of flowers in front of her, and her heart was drunk.
Reined in the horse, Xue Shao hugged Shangguan Wan'er and dismounted.
She had just left the saddle, but Xue Shao held her grip tightly. The crisp chest can be broken like fat blowing, just in front of Xue Shao's nose.
Shangguan Wan'er gently tapped Xue Shao's forehead with her fingers, "Let go of me." ”
"I want to kiss it." Xue Shao himself felt that he was a little unscrupulous when he said this.
Shangguan Wan'er twisted her body slightly, but she couldn't twist. So she stretched out two fingers across Xue Shao's lips, "I can't stop you." However, I certainly won't say yes. ”
"Why?"
"If I agree, then you will say, how is the cave room at this moment?"
Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh and gently lowered Shangguan Wan'er to the ground.
Shangguan Wan'er turned around and straightened her clothes a little, and then stretched out her hand to lead Xue Shao, "Accompany me to enjoy the flowers." ”
Xue Shao nodded, and then obediently walked forward by her.
With every step, Xue Shao's heart felt like a big step backwards. It seems that the two of them are walking against time, and gradually, they have walked into the peach forest in the Autumn Courtyard of that year.
Holding hands, strolling under the peach blossoms...... This scene has appeared in Xue Shao's dreams countless times.
Shangguan Wan'er's hand had just touched the first petal when there was a trembling sound of horses' hooves not far away, and the peach trees were trembling.
"Someone's coming?" Shangguan Wan'er's voice revealed a hint of panic.
This is not surprising. Twenty years of life in the palace have already made her develop this highly cautious and frightened character. Even though she has left the palace, which is like a cage, her character has always remained in her shell.
Xue Shao looked at her and felt distressed.
"With me, what are you afraid of?" He said.
Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and did not speak. But she turned sideways, looked into the distance, and then whispered, "About a hundred horsemen." ”
"When they saw the fireworks in the peach forest, they just went out of the city to investigate." Xue Shao smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the peach forest.
More than 100 horsemen came at a gallop and stopped outside the peach forest. They first saw Xue Shao's mount parked in one place, leisurely nibbling on the tender grass sprouts. Then, they saw Xue Shuai, who was wearing a Huadian embroidered suit, as if he was a little unfamiliar.
There was a loud sound of "bang", which frightened Shangguan Wan'er in the forest.
It was more than a hundred ironclad knights, clasping their fists in unison.
Xue Shao waved his hand, and they turned their horses' heads in unison, galloping away faster than when they came.
Shangguan Wan'er let out a long breath.
"I told you so." Xue Shao walked back, "Here, you don't have to be afraid of anything!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er smiled, "Your army, your world." ”
Xue Shao stepped forward to take her hand, "Your paradise." ”
Shangguan Wan'er's heart was really drunk at once. Because at this time, she suddenly had a feeling of flying out of the cage and flying in the blue sky.
For the first time in my life.
She had a feeling of being as light as a swallow, jumping lightly in the forest, constantly looking for the most fragrant peach blossom.
Xue Shao followed behind her with a smile on his face, and told her from time to time to be careful of thorns and stones.
Shangguan Wan'er quietly glanced back at him from time to time, and Xue Shao at this moment was like a majestic and silent guardian god of war. It made her feel more secure than ever.
Every woman, even if she is seventy or eighty, will always be a little girl who does not grow up in front of her beloved man.
Now, Shangguan Wan'er is intoxicated with such feelings.
"This is his world!"
"I can, lawless!"
It's getting late.
A lot of torches have been lit up on the walls of the Great Wall, like a fire dragon flying into the sky, which is a grand sight.
Shangguan Wan'er has seen a lot of the prosperity of the capital, but it is the first time she has seen the desolate and majestic beauty of Saibei. She told Xue Shao with her eyes, I don't want to go back.
"I'll take you up to the Great Wall." Xue Shao led the horse over.
Shangguan Wan'er sighed softly, turned her head and smiled, "Send me back, I'm already content." ”
Contentment?
What a distressing word.
Xue Shao picked her up and got on the horse and let her sit sideways.
"Aren't you coming up?"
"I'll lead the horse."
Shangguan Wan'er smiled, "Let your soldiers see it, isn't it?" ”
Yes, the commander of the 100,000-strong army actually led a woman to lead the way!
Xue Shao smiled slightly, "In this way, we can walk a little slower." ”
Shangguan Wan'er stared at Xue Shao and scolded lightly, "Fool." ”
One person and one horse, slowly walking towards Shuozhou City.
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly said: "Li Xianyuan is really an interesting person. ”
Xue Shao smiled and said, "Do you want to tell me that he brought you to Shuozhou?" ”
"It's not a good idea to say that it's pouting." Shangguan Wan'er said, "I just didn't expect that he would be so bold. ”
"How big is it?"
"He can actually move Princess Taiping and ask her to ask the Queen Mother to send me to Shuozhou as an envoy." Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and said with a strange smile, "I'm really curious, why didn't Her Royal Highness the Princess kill him in the first place?" ”
Xue Shao touched his chin, and said in his heart Li Xianyuan is really a blessed general, he has taken care of the happiness of the second half of my life and the lower half of my body!
"Hey, why don't you talk and laugh so ......"
Is it obscene?
Xue Shao smiled, "Li Xianyuan looks frivolous and floating, but in fact, he has insight into the heavens and is wise and foolish. He often does absurd things, and sometimes he will take the initiative to die. But it often turns out that he is not only not dead, but also right. ”
Shangguan Wan'er blinked her eyes and said, "It seems that sending him back to Beijing is indeed a stroke of genius on your part. ”
Xue Shao was smiling and noncommittal.
"Cen Changqian and Song Jing are here, you avoid the door. I came, but you led me in the way. Shangguan Wan'er said, "What's subtle in this? ”
"Because you're Shangguan Wan'er."
"So, what about other than that?"
Xue Shao was silent for a moment and said, "Do you really want to know?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, and there was a hint of helplessness in her smile, "I am both Shangguan Wan'er and a secret envoy of the imperial court. ”
Xue Shao nodded, "I'll send you back to the post house first." Later, you'll find out. ”
"Okay."
When entering the city, Shangguan Wan'er put on a palace black gauze hat, and the long gauze edge almost covered her whole body.
Xue Shao wanted to say that this was not possible at all, but thinking that Shangguan Wan'er had her own reserve and consideration, she could not help it.
After sending her back to the post house, Xue Shao went to the prison city and entered Li Wen's cell.
When Li Wen saw Xue Shao coming in, his eyes widened and he kept nodding.
Xue Shao could read the meaning in his eyes, which were full of extreme fear of death and extreme desire to survive.
He stepped forward and ripped off Li Wen's mouth seal, "It seems that you have thought about it?" ”
"Right...... To ......" Li Wen moved his stiff lips and tongue a few times, and nodded dejectedly, "I want to live!" ”
Xue Shao smiled.
The 200,000 Northern Expeditionary Army did not make a move, and the Li Tang royal family wanted to bring down Wu Zetian, which was a fool's dream. "Do you want to die or want to live", this is simply a multiple-choice question for Li Wen in front of him.
Xue Shao took out his knife and cut the rope on Li Wen's body.
"What should I, how?" Li Wen looked at Xue Shao in shock.
"In my style, sending your head to the capital is the most convenient way." Xue Shao said, "Now, I can only say that your luck is not bad. ”
Li Wen shuddered, "How, how do you say it?" ”
"I'll take you to meet someone. She will decide whether you live or die. Xue Shao glanced at his crotch, "Before that, you have to take a shower and change clothes." ”
Li Wen kept sifting the chaff, "It can't be, Empress Dowager Wu has arrived in Shuozhou, right?" ”
Xue Shao smiled, anyone could come to Shuozhou, but Wu Zetian couldn't. With such a worrying IQ, do you still learn from others to rebel?
Half an hour later, Xue Shao had dinner, returned to the prison city again, took Li Wen out, and took him to the military post house.
Shangguan Wan'er changed into a navy blue bearded men's clothes, took off Hua Tian and put on a hat, changed her body, and became the shrewd and capable female official in the capital again.
When Li Wen saw Shangguan Wan'er for the first time when he entered the door, he was completely sure in his heart - the royal family would be defeated!
Who Shangguan Wan'er is, Li Wen couldn't understand it in his heart anymore. The warm relationship between her and Xue Shao may not be well known to the common people, but it is no secret between the royal family and the eunuchs in the capital. Because as early as a few years ago, Shangguan Wan'er almost became Xue Shao's concubine.
Now that even Shangguan Wan'er has appeared in Shuozhou, it can only prove that Empress Dowager Wu has long prevented the Li royal family from sending people to connect with Xue Shao. Empress Dowager Wu's net has long been impenetrable, and the poor Li family's royal family is still doing it behind closed doors, and they have a sweet dream of sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils after the deed is completed!
"Now, you believe what I say?" Xue Shao said.
Li Wen nodded in a trance, "Believe, I believe...... I don't want to die with them! I don't want to be a caged rabbit! ”
"Since Gongzi Li knows the current affairs, he also saves a lot of tongue from his own officials." Shangguan Wan'er said, "My people will send you back to the capital." When you see Empress Dowager Wu, you should know how to speak. ”
"Yes, I know, I know......" Li Wen nodded apprehensively.
Shangguan Wan'er slapped her face, and four strong men came in.
Xue Shao glanced at them, and actually felt familiar, so he said, "You are Qianniuwei?" ”
"Back to Xue Shuai, we are all General Zuo Qianniuwei, and Cheng Boxian is under the command of General Cheng!"
Xue Shao remembered that two of them had served as Xuan Yunzi's bodyguards. So Xue Shao hooked his finger at one of them and took him aside.
Without waiting for Xue Shao to speak, the pawn took the initiative to say: "The villain is about to report to Xue Shuai." ”
"Say."
The pawn said: "During the battle that day, Xuanyunzi Immortal Gu asked us to escort her out of the barracks and to Fengzhou. When we arrived in Toyosu and we were about to find a boat to cross the river, the fairy girl suddenly disappeared. My brother searched for him but found no one, only a letter she had left behind. ”
"To whom, and to what?"
The pawn replied, "It was a letter to our General Cheng, and she said that she was used to traveling all over the world alone, and did not like to be followed by a group of men. She asked General Cheng not to blame us, and other than that, it was gone. ”
Xue Shao was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed softly.
"Xue Shuai forgives his sins!"
The pawn hurriedly wanted to kneel, but Xue Shao grabbed him, "I don't blame you." I can't even look at her, let alone you? ”
