Chapter 34 The General's Mansion
Manyao's gaze slowly moved upward, and the owner of the shoes was wearing an azure robe, with a handsome and extraordinary countenance, and above his face was the usual gentle expression, staring at her pale face full of rain traces with shallow caring eyes.
The man held an umbrella above her head and smiled and held out a hand to her. He looked at the hand in a daze, his slender fingers were distinctly jointed, and there were dark calluses in the palms. The man saw that she was just looking at his hand, so he smiled lightly: "After many years of fighting on the battlefield, I have taken a lot of swords, and my hands have become calloused. You...... Don't mind. ”
Man Yao shook his head, and looked up at the gentle and harmless handsome face. It was this man who would become her husband in two days, and she would henceforth bear his surname and be with him for the rest of her life. But is this man, really as harmless as he seems? She smiled faintly, but her eyes were extremely sharp, reaching the depths of people's hearts, and she said in a deep tone: "I'm just thinking, it seems that every time I meet a general, it happens to be when I need help the most, you say...... Is this providential? Or is it artificial? ”
Fu Chip was stunned for a moment, his eyes changed slightly, and a trace of strange light flashed under his eyes, and then smiled casually: "Naturally, it is artificial." Where is there so much providence in this world, I know that you are in trouble, so I appeared in time to solve your difficulties. ”
The answer was a little surprising to her, and he said it so calmly that she couldn't think of anything else. "Then how did the general know that I was in trouble?" I am not close to the general, and I am not very familiar with him, why does the general pay so much attention to me? ”
Fu Chip's eyes drooped slightly, as if he was also thinking about this problem, and said after half a sound: "I also want to know the reason...... Your clothes are soaked, so if you don't dislike it, go to my house to bathe and change your clothes first, so as not to be infected with the wind and cold again. ”
Man Yao glanced at the ridge not far away from the corner of his eye, nodded after a little hesitation, reached out to put his fingers on his fingers, and wanted to get up with strength, but his legs and feet, which were already numb, did not obey the call, and squatted down before he could stand up, his body was unstable, and he fell to the side of the canal.
Fu Chip hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her shoulder and said, "You hold the umbrella, I'll carry you away." Without saying that, she stuffed the umbrella into her hand, and before she could even say the word "no", the person was already lifted into the air.
His arms are warm, his shoulders are broad, and his arms are strong and powerful, which is inexplicably reassuring. At this time, she was extremely exhausted both physically and mentally, and she suddenly thought, why did she think about it so much? Wouldn't it be nice to make everything a little simpler? As long as she can keep one of her hearts, nothing else matters. Thinking of this, she relaxed, closed her eyes, leaned against his neck and shoulder, and before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep, and the umbrella in her hand fell to the ground behind them.
Fu Chip looked down at the tired face of the woman in his arms, his eyes moved slightly, and he unconsciously slowed down his pace and walked more calmly.
The rain gradually stopped, the sky opened and the clouds dispersed, and after being washed away by the heavy rain, there was more of a cold smell than before. Zong Zheng's phoenix eyes were light, he leaned on the soft couch to rest, and his right index finger unconsciously stroked a white jade chess piece engraved with red characters in the palm of his left hand, as if he was waiting for something. After a long time, he suddenly said, "Aman, why haven't you fallen yet?" You've been thinking about it for a long time, and if you continue like this, we won't be able to finish a game of chess from morning to night! ”
He still had his eyes closed as he spoke, quietly waiting for a response, however, after waiting for half a sound, he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing. Zongzheng suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no one on the other side. He was shocked in his heart, did he form a habit so quickly? Looking at the chess pieces in his hand, he frowned, stood up, and shouted with a slight annoyance: "Someone." ”
The steward of Sanssouci Pavilion, who had been guarding the door, immediately entered the house when he heard the sound, carefully held the tea in both hands, and said with a respectful expression: "Lord Wang, are you awake?" ”
Zong Zheng took the tea and rinsed his mouth, then put it back in his hand, and said, "Lin Dian is back?" ”
The steward hurriedly replied: "Lord Wang, it has been half an hour since the Lin guards returned to the house, and the servant saw that the prince was resting, so he didn't dare to come in and disturb, so he waited outside the door." ”
Zong Zheng said lightly: "Call him in." ”
"Yes." After the steward stepped down, a black-clothed man in his twenties with slightly dark skin entered the house. The man knelt on one knee, supported the ground with one hand, and said respectfully: "Subordinates see the prince." ”
Zong Zheng waved his hand, motioned for him to get up, and said, "What did she do after she left the mountain?" Where did you go? ”
Guard Lin said, "Your Excellency, after the prince of Liyue came down the mountain, he walked along the road all the way to the west, walked in the rain for about an hour and a half, went to Tianshui Lake halfway, stayed for a while, and then left ......."
Zong Zhengwu's expression moved, raised his hand to stop his words, and pondered: "You said she walked in the rain for an hour and a half?" Do you have an umbrella? ”
Guard Lin shook his head and said, "No." She had been in the rain and walked very slowly. ”
Zong Zhengwu's heart trembled, and he asked again, "What is the expression on her face?" ”
Guard Lin thought for a moment and said, "Keep smiling...... The smile was shallow. ”
Zongzheng walked a few steps towards the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the scattered flowers outside the window after the heavy rain had destroyed, his thoughts drifted back to a sunny afternoon a few days ago, they had just finished a game of chess, he asked her about her life in her previous life, she became very silent, and later, she suddenly said: "It seems that it has not rained for a long time." ”
He asked, "Aman likes rainy days?" ”
She put down the chess pieces in her hand and said with a distant gaze: "There is a kind of person who naturally likes rain, because in the rain, she can cry with peace of mind, and she doesn't have to worry about being seen." ”
He said, "Aman is this kind of person! ”
She turned her head, lowered her eyes to hide a faint sadness, and said softly, "I don't remember how long it has been since I shed tears, maybe fifteen years, or seventeen years...... It's been so long that I've forgotten what it's like...... "This is her life in her previous life, and she can't cry even if she is sad."
Zongzheng has no worries to restrain her thoughts, it seems that she doesn't care as she says! There was a trace of inexplicable joy in his heart, and ...... Distressed. That woman always hides herself so deeply. He turned around and asked, "Where is she now?" ”
Lin Guard said, "I went to the General's Mansion." ”
Zong Zheng's body was shocked, his eyes changed suddenly, he turned around and looked at him coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Which general's mansion?" ”
Guard Lin shuddered and replied, "Yes...... The residence of the Great General of the Patriotic Monarchy. ”
Fu Chip?! Zong Zhengwu's face was huge, his hands were clenched unconsciously, and the scene of the two of them looking at each other and laughing at the gate of the Yiqing Hall of the palace came to mind, and when the princess of Qiyun Kingdom was choosing a husband at the dinner, Fu Chip kept looking at her......
Zongzheng didn't have to worry about the phoenix's eyes, his eyes were like hell and cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Aman, if you want to leave this king with the help of Fu Chip, it's not so easy!" You, take a hundred men, and go with this king to the palace of the general of the country. ”
