"Overboard and dead? That's really a thin woman, General Wu must be very sad. ”

Is he sad? Maybe, at least he raised me for ten years, and I didn't do anything for him, so I "died"......

Bo Huan saw that I was silent, and asked, "Zidian, since you have seen him, can you tell me what kind of person he is?" ”

"The little girl has only seen General Wu once, and she can't say anything, but the noble girl will know it when she sees it with her own eyes in the Qin State this time."

"Do you think I'm being rude?" She leaned up to me and whispered.

I shook my head and said in a low voice: "After all, the person who married into the Qin State is a noble girl, and the one who will live with General Wu for the rest of his life in the future is also a noble girl, so it is always right to see it clearly in advance." ”

"Hahaha, I like you more and more!" Bo Huan laughed and took out a small wooden box from behind him, "Eat, the newly made preserved fruit this spring is sweet!" ”

I thanked me and gently pinched one with my fingers and put it in my mouth, my heart full of sourness.

When Bo Ying and I arrived at the rendezvous place, there was only one wooden boat parked by the muddy water. When I got on the boat, I realized that except for Wuxian and Candle, the rest of the people had already left by boat three days ago.

After a few days of scorching heat, the weather in Jindi suddenly turned cold, and standing on the bow of the boat, the oncoming river breeze with a hint of early autumn chill penetrated into my sleeve. The occasional golden leaf drifting through the dark blue water reminds me of the end of the summer.

"Father Qing just told me yesterday that the eldest sister should come with me." Shirtless draped a robe over my shoulders.

I wrapped myself tightly in my robe, curled the corners of my mouth and smiled: "The noble girl is an interesting person, and she is kind to others, but this trip is dangerous, you should pay special attention to protect her." ”

"The eldest sister's swordsmanship is outstanding, so she doesn't need my protection." Wuxian glanced at Bo Huan, who was at the stern of the boat and was jockeying with Candle Chun, "The eldest sister's only hobby is to find someone to compete with the sword, and Candle Chun has lost to her several times." ”

Bo Huan's face is full of smiles, and there is no trace of a noble girl's twisting posture in her gestures, but with a hearty chivalrous atmosphere, the whole person is like a crisp pear stained with dew, which makes people feel fresh and refreshing when they look at it.

"After arriving in the Qin Kingdom, how do you plan to arrange her?"

"Although it is not polite, I promised my eldest sister that I would take her to visit Wu Feng together."

"I'll go with you."

"You want to meet him?" Shirtless long eyebrows frowned slightly.

"With Bo Huan here, he won't recognize me." I still can't believe that Wu Feng would imprison Si'er and Wuxian for the purpose of assassinating the crown prince. Because, for Zhao Wuxian and Zhao, I am not that important. If Zhao Ying wants to support Gongzi Li's ascendancy, he must get rid of the crown prince. It's good that Gongzi Li and Bo Lu discuss this matter privately, and Wu Feng doesn't need to get involved at all. I think that he deliberately wrote such a letter to Zhao Wuxian, maybe just to force me back to Qin, and wanted to hear an explanation from me.

Half a moon later, the west wind that I am most familiar with blew in the land of Qin, and the reeds by the Weishui River faded the last bit of green of this summer, and bloomed a fluffy reed like snow. We rode all the way along Weishui, and when we were more than 50 miles away from Yongdu, we met a group of ordinary people who dragged their families and carried clothes and quilts and cooking utensils.

"Grandma, where are you from?" I rolled over and pulled a gray-haired old woman. The old woman glanced at Zhao Wuxian, who was riding on horseback behind me, and trembled as she hugged her young grandson into her arms. "Grandma, we are not from Rong, we are from the Jin Kingdom, and we want to go to Yongcheng to meet a friend. Do you know how to get to Yongcheng? I took a piece of jerky from the burden behind me and handed it to the child in the woman's arms.

"You better go back quickly, Yongcheng is going to war!" As soon as the old woman heard that I was going to Yongcheng, she waved her hand desperately, "The city gate will be closed this morning, and you can't enter." ”

"Thank you, Grandma!" I nodded in acknowledgment and rolled over my horse.

"The city gates are closed, I wonder if Ah Ji and a few of them have already entered the city?" Candle to the unsympathetic.

"They should have arrived three days ago, and since you can still see the fleeing commoners here, it means that the armies of the two countries have not yet arrived." No shirt replied.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go!" Bo Ying rode up to us.

"Well, let's go!"

The sky was getting dark, the four of them rode to the city, the city gate was closed, and I hurriedly dismounted and stopped him: "Let me come, you have a sword, and the soldiers guarding the city are easy to be suspicious." ”

"Then you be careful, this is a token sent by Wu Feng along with the letter, if they want a certificate, you can give this to them." Wuxian took out half of the jade from his bosom and put it in my hand.

I put the jade in my sleeve and walked quickly to the bottom of the city.

"Who's under the city?" When the archers at the gate saw me approaching, they pointed their arrows at me.

"The envoy of the Zhao clan of the Jin Kingdom, ask to see General Wu!" I replied in a loud voice.

"Come to the light!" One of the soldiers shouted.

I slowly walked to the place where there was firelight, and held the jade bi high in my hand: "I have General Wu's token here, and if there is a general's mansion on the city tower, you will know it at a glance." ”

"Lady?! Fast! Hurry up and put down the hanging basket, it's the noble girl in the general's mansion! Someone shouted from above the tower.

The hanging basket was quickly put down, and I was pulled all the way up the tower while sitting in the basket. A samurai in armor grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the basket without waiting for me to climb out on my own: "Noble girl, I knew you weren't dead. ”

Standing in front of me was Yu Di, who I hadn't seen for a long time, a dark red scar ran through the emaciated left side of his face from his ear to the corner of his mouth, I took a step back, quietly brushed his hand away, and said in a deep voice: "Sergeant, I am not a noble girl, I am a messenger sent by the Zhao clan of the Jin Kingdom." This is a token from General Wu, please be sure to pass it on to the general, and let my friend into the city as soon as possible. ”。

"Lady?" Yu Di was stunned for a moment, put away his previous excited look, and turned his head to a small soldier behind him, "Hurry up and give the jade bi to the general!" After speaking, he said to me, "The general was injured in the attack today, and now he lives in the wooden building opposite, and he should be able to be summoned soon." ”

"The general is wounded? Who hurt him? My heart tightened, and I asked without thinking.

"It's the assassin left in the city by the crown prince, and his kung fu is very high. Fortunately, the general found out in time and saved his life. Yu Di looked at me with an inquiring expression after speaking.

I walked to the side of the inner wall and looked at the familiar streets and houses at my feet, but my mind drifted to the summer of the year I was eleven years old.

In the middle of summer that year, Yongcheng was surprisingly hot. The water in the pond in the house was dry, and in the afternoon, the groups of people on the trees screamed endlessly, making people dizzy. At that time, I was locked in the study by my master to learn calligraphy, and I heard someone outside the door say that the general had returned from the border pass, so I threw down my pen and ran all the way to his yard without putting on my shoes.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I swooped down as usual towards the person I had been waiting for for a long time. But that time, he didn't lift me high above my head like he used to. He was stabbed with a bloody hole on his body, pale lips, and bloody bandages, and I was immediately frightened and cried. He pressed my head to comfort me, but I sat on the floor and wept from day to night. On that day, at the age of 11, I realized for the first time in horror that he, who had been like a god, would be injured or killed......

"God, please don't let the general be hurt, don't let him die, let me suffer all the suffering......" was a child kneeling under the stars and praying over and over again.

"You're finally back......"

I turned around stiffly, Wu Feng stood behind me wearing an ink-colored robe, the moon-white Confucian clothes inside were faded to the waist, the chest of ** was wrapped back and forth with bandages several times, and there were two wounds on the side of the waist that were still oozing blood.

When I saw this, it was like someone had been punched in the chest, and my heart throbbed and my throat was so tight that I couldn't speak.

"Don't cry, I'm fine." He stepped forward and gently wiped the tears from my face with his fingertips.

Am I crying? I touched my wet cheeks with my hand, and suddenly I realized that the wall of my heart that had been built for so long had collapsed the moment I saw him.

"Open the door and let them in!" Wu Feng waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers guarding the city, and then his figure shook suddenly.

I hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked urgently, "Didn't Yitan give you medicine?" Why hasn't the bleeding stopped? Are you going to sit down first? ”

"Child, don't hold me, don't let the soldiers see how seriously injured I am." He smiled and brushed my hand away, tightened his robe, straightened up, and strode down the tower.

I followed him closely with a heart, for fear that he would fall if he was not careful.

The three of them were soon brought into the city by soldiers, and after Wu Feng greeted them one by one, he ordered someone to clean up a temporary courtyard next to the wooden building where he temporarily lived.

"There are still a lot of princes in the city, and it will be safer to have heavy guards here." Wu Feng took everyone to his residence.

"General Wu bothered! Before leaving, my father instructed us to obey the general's arrangement. He replied with a no-shirt salute.

At this moment, Wu Feng's face was completely bloodless, he smiled and nodded, his eyes suddenly drifting to me.

Wuxian glanced at me, and the person was already in the way between me and Wu Feng: "The big battle is coming, the general should rest early!" ”

The courtyard suddenly became quiet, the two of them looked at each other, and after a while, Wu Feng's voice sounded faintly: "Rest early, Wu Mou said goodbye." ”

Seeing that Wu Feng was leaving, I hurriedly took two steps forward, but was stopped by Wuxian with one hand. I looked up at him in confusion, he only looked at me coldly, and only said to me when Wu Feng walked out of the courtyard gate, "Where do you want to go?" ”

"He's hurt, I'm a healer, I need to go and see it."

"General Wu is injured? No wonder the face is so ugly. Bo Huan walked up to me in two steps, "Zi Di, didn't Taishi bring you a big bag of good medicine before you left?" Why don't you go with me? ”

"I'll go! Rest for now, don't wait for me. I brushed away my shirtless hand and ran out of the yard.
