"Perhaps, these runes have some special meaning, right?" The middle-aged man said, looking at Li Sizhu fixedly.

"I don't know." Li Sizhu shook his head a little flusteredly, "It's not too early, I'm going back, sir, please be steady." She said, and without waiting for the middle-aged man to answer, she hurriedly turned around and ran away.

The middle-aged man looked at her back as she faded away, his eyes full of melancholy.

"You can rest assured...... I will...... Protect your ......," he said to himself, leaning down and gently stroking the inscription on the boulder with his hand.

After Li Sizhu met with the attendant, he hurried to the dock.

She knew that today was the day he came home.

At this time, many local officials from Fuzhou gathered at the wharf, and it was obvious that they were also here to greet him.

Although it was inconvenient for her to go to greet him in person due to the tradition of etiquette, it was good to be able to see him from afar.

A long whistle sounded from afar on the sea, and people turned to face the sea, and Li Sizhu's heart beat violently with the whistle.

Not long after, a tall and mighty Dragon Flag warship with a French battleship style appeared, that is, the "Kaiji" armored cruiser, and when she saw him standing on the flybridge, her tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

At this moment, she didn't know that the middle-aged man who had just spoken to her was standing in a hidden corner, looking at her and looking at the "Kaiji", his expression became extremely solemn.

Lin Yiqing...... Will you know the secret? ”

At night, there is a lot of snow.

Winters in Fujian are generally snowless, but this year I don't know how. But it snowed a few times in a row. There is still a lot of snow in the northern region. But the city of Fuzhou has always been a fine snow.

Out of the back door of Guanglufang was a deep alley, and several people were riding their horses and slowly leaving. The moonlight elongated the figure cast on the bluestone road, and there was a rider wearing a black cloak next to him. Li Xiangtian faintly felt that the back seemed a little familiar.

A gust of wind blew in snow powder, and the shadows of people and horses were blurred, and Li Xiangtian suddenly felt a deep cold to the bone. He looked out at the top of the mountain shrouded in snow and mist, his gaze unfocused. My heart was empty, and when I looked back, there was no one in the alley. The enemy knows the news of the treasure and the finger is directed at him, what does he lose if he mishandles it? He knew it in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it. After all these years of coarse tea and light food, I really have some nostalgia...... It's dependence. In the early years, it would be ridiculous to have such thoughts, but now, some things really can't be put down.

Before I knew it, I was at the doorstep. Yin Zigui pushed open the two doors, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw Yi Ling standing under the eaves holding the stove. The thin strands of hair were blown up by the wind and covered with snowflakes.

I just walked left and right thinking about it. Before I knew it, I was at the doorstep. Li Xiangtian pushed open the two doors, and looked up to see Pei Yao standing under the eaves with a hand stove, her thin hair blown up by the wind and stained with snowflakes.

"I'm back." Pei Yao walked over gently, just pushed the hand stove into his palm, and raised his hand to dust the snow powder on Li Xiangtian's robe. When looking at her, Li Xiangtian's heart gradually warmed up, and for some reason he suddenly gave birth to a little naughty, gently scraped her nose that was frozen red by the cold wind, and said in response: "Is it cold or not?" ”

"Why isn't it cold?" His wife seemed to guess a little bit of his thoughts, and she didn't laugh, but only stretched out her white finger and said a little lightly on his eyebrows: "I'm about to become a father, and I'm still making trouble." The tone came to the back, and he unconsciously became a little childish.

For a moment, Li Xiangtian was stunned. The goose feather snow that began to fall in the sky fell on the heart and blossomed into white petals, like the moving smile of his wife, but it was so cold that it made people worry. In the past, before the army went to war, Pei Yao would dance the "Angel Dance" dance steps in white clothes with many young women, and that was the first time she saw her, and her heart, which had already turned into an ancient well in the fight, actually rippled. Under the mountain is the rolling grassland, there is a bright red sunset overhead, between heaven and earth, as if only this woman is dancing, solemn and sacred, people dare not give birth to a trace of covetous thoughts. It was the swearing-in ceremony of the war against the "Bo Oni", and the outstanding young generals of the Holy Army were in the majority, and the undulating crowd on the ridge continued to let out low exclamations, until at last the dancing woman on the stone pillar saw her hands blooming like lotuses. It was the handprint of the Holy Mother of Heaven, and from the void space, countless snow-white lotus flowers really grew, surrounding her, and were blown into the sky by the evening breeze. In the face of this real miracle, some wept, others prostrated themselves on the ground, and finally they all turned into high-spirited shouts (what kind of meme is this?). God's miracles foretell victory? ）。 Only Li Xiangtian was amazed, simply amazed, and this feeling has always been with him, throughout the years he has known Pei Yao.

Later, by the desolate ancient spring, also at night under the moonlight, the god dancer snuggled in his arms, but the lover repeatedly rambled and danced the forbidden song of the demon. That night, the wife wore a dark red dress, and as she danced one whirlwind after another, it was irresistibly amazing. In the eyes of the hot-blooded Li Xiangtian, the song of the demon finally turned into a night song of Mandoling......

But now, his wife's forehead hurts slightly after a slight touch. Running the housework of this cloth house alone, it has left traces on her fingers in just a few years. The invisible enemy of aging is gradually robbing God of the Father's miracles. She was originally a flower held in the sky, and she should not and could not be dyed with mundane dust, but who is she for now? Those petals that bloomed on the heart turned into water, and only Li Xiangtian knew the warmth and coldness.

He took his wife's hand and sat down in the living room, pondering how to speak, but the handle of the gun exposed from the corner of his coat had already revealed his true thoughts.

"The people who came to hunt for the treasure have arrived?" Pei Yao didn't withdraw her hand, turned around and clenched her husband, and asked calmly.

Li Xiangtian's heart is much more stable, his wife is stronger than he imagined, "It's the group of people in England, several of them have already come......" He suddenly didn't know how to phrase it, after getting married, his wife kept him away from his former comrades in the heavenly kingdom, but he couldn't make up his mind, and the change in identity could not hide the facts. They were not recognized by those who considered themselves heavenly orthodox and were hostile to the loyal line. Not to mention. When I was still in the army. Li Xiangtian sensed that it was impossible for the loyal king and the heavenly king to have a real friendship between kings and ministers. The loyal king is not a figure who is willing to live in the back of the people, and the monarchs and ministers often mix a lot of thoughts and speculate on each other, and the bitterness and lengthiness of the open and secret battles probably have mustard in the hearts of both sides. Now he also understands that although he has truly put down his glory and status, he is far from what he used to be. But sometimes, you still can't really cut it. In this case, it is better to make your thoughts clear, and you should not hide it from your wife.

"They want to find the treasure of King Chung, and then they can do something." Li Xiangtian said plainly, but his heart seemed to be pulled back and forth by the strings of a huqin, uncomfortable, and he had a plan to be firm.

The temperature from his wife's hand cooled, and after a while, a voice whispered, "Do you want to go with them?" ”

Li Xiangtian felt that his heart was cut back and forth by a thin string, and the severe pain drained the strength from his body. After a long time, it still can't be slowed down. Exhaustion came harder than fighting a big battle that alternated day and night, and this strong man finally crossed his bottom line. "I ...... Think. ”

The room suddenly fell silent, Pei Yao's hand was still in his palm, but it was as cold as an emotionless stone sculpture. She pondered, countless reproaches jumped out of her mind one by one, and finally she couldn't help but ask, but took a deep breath and said calmly, "I'm waiting for your explanation." ”

A slight anger rushed to his heart, and then it was replaced by self-blame. Facing dozens of Mongolian cavalry alone could not make Li Xiangtian feel this kind of pressure, as if he was being roasted on a fire. And he needs to stay calm and not let his wife perceive the danger, "I found Miss Sizhu, she may be in great trouble, and she will not be saved...... I can't. When they came, I suddenly felt powerless to resist, and I really didn't know anything about what they were preparing for. I also know that we have no way to fight against the Boren Emperor, even if we can hide for a while, we can't hide for a lifetime. They knew you were with me and had decided to bring you back by the time I had no chance...... Actually, when it comes to this, it's all over. I shouldn't have brought you here, but I can't leave you behind......"

The wife's lips were white and blue, and they fluctuated like a slight ripple on the surface of the water, "It's over." Is this what you said? Or did they say it? They're using me to threaten you into joining, aren't they? ”

"Yes...... When I was in the Ryukyus, they found me and threatened that if I didn't agree, they would attack you, and I said that I would protect you for the rest of my life, and I thought I could do it. Li Xiangtian bowed his head, like a general who had defeated all the enemies and surrendered for the first time, "I was wrong. ”

Pei Yao withdrew her hand and said calmly, "Xiangtian, you raise your head." ”

A loud slap suddenly slapped on Li Xiangtian's raised cheek.

"What do you think I want? Do you think you'll be safe if you promise them? Two strings of crystal tears swirled in his wife's eyes.

What she wants is a responsible man, a man who can give up everything for her, all she wants is love. Why didn't Li Xiangtian know, but is this feeling alone enough? Can he use it as a shield to cover up Pei Yao's grievances over the years, and let his wife fall into that dark life of escape again because of the matter of the treasure of King Zhong?

Li Xiangtian silently unbuckled his belt and put the matching knife and revolver across the desk, this scimitar seemed to have already sensed the master, and at this time it screamed softly. "Pei Yao, when we put down this knife five years ago, we agreed to forget everything in the past. Now it's back, and I just want you to know that if there's one more person in this world that I have to protect, it's you. ”

"Don't push me." Tears finally fell like broken threads, falling like countless knives in Li Xiangtian's heart. Pei Yao cried and said, "Xiangtian, I am proud that my husband is a hero. But I can't just let you go! I'm also afraid that they will come to the door, but what I'm more afraid of is losing you......" Pei Yao's lip bit out blood, she couldn't say the rest of the words, why couldn't her husband understand?

Li Xiangtian suddenly had a solemn look on his face, and he said quietly, "I know." Pei Yao, none of us are afraid. He held out a pair of large hands that grasped his wife, "I know what to do." ”

A huge happiness enveloped Fu Peiyao, who leaned on her husband, still sobbing quietly. The moonlight shines through the window and the falling snow reflects on the couple. There is a different kind of sadness.

It's been a long time. Li Xiangtian looked at the sky and said softly, "I want to go out and do something." ”

Pei Yao raised her teary cheeks and nodded, "Wait for you to come back." ”

Li Xiangtian thought for a while and said, "Okay, wait for me to come back." ”

Looking at the back of her husband leaving, Fu Peiyao suddenly recalled the solemn look when Li Xiangtian promised to protect herself, and somehow. She was faintly frightened, and when she looked again, she could still find her husband in the vast snowy night.
