If Zhao Ying's illness is really as dangerous as the letter says, then there is not much time left for Wuxian. He wants to hurry back to Xinjiang, and he must marry the princess of the Di clan while Zhao Ying is still sober and sit on the throne of the prince. The princes of the Zhao family are now all blocked in the Zhao Mansion, and he must first get the support of Zhao Yang before he can establish his authority in front of them, and then stabilize the situation within the Zhao family. After that, he also had to face many problems of the Zhao clan and the Zhi clan handing over the power and military power of the Jin State.

What Wuxian is about to embark on is a road full of difficulties and obstacles. And me, my relationship with him, and the entanglement between the fox clan and the Zhi clan, made me the first obstacle in his path. When I was on the verge of despair, he appeared with hope, but when I was full of hope, reality dragged me into the abyss of despair.

I sat on the bed in a daze, as if someone had stabbed me suddenly, and the pain swept towards me. I was so immersed in my own pain that I didn't even notice when I pushed the door open and entered the house.

"Ah?" Shirtless crouched down in front of me and lifted my chin with two fingers, "What are you thinking?" Why sit here in a daze? ”

"Hongyun'er, do you have any other courtyards in Qufu City?" I looked into the shirtless eyes and asked in a whisper.

Wuxian was slightly stunned, stroked my cheek and smiled: "What's the matter, why do you ask like that?" ”

I turned my head to look at the wall on my left, the room had obviously been cleaned, the blood-stained screen and mat were gone, only the maroon stains and a deep sword mark were still faintly visible on the wall. "Hongyun'er, I don't want to sleep here, I don't want to sleep in this yard tonight." I wrapped my arms around his neck.

Wuxian raised his hand and pressed my head: "Okay, don't sleep here, we don't sleep here." He stroked my hair, and his gentle voice seemed to soothe a child who had been awakened by a nightmare.

I held back the sourness in my heart, half-wrapped my arms around his neck, and whispered, "If we don't stay here, then where else can we go?" ”

"I'll take you to a place you're going to love." Shirtless turned his head and pecked at the corner of my mouth, then put one hand on my shoulder, and the other through my knee and hugged me horizontally.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll find out when you go." He smiled and strode towards the door.

Is he going to take me away now? But me

I was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed the shirt placket: "Do you want to leave now?" We're leaving, where are they going to find us tomorrow? ”

"There is a small city called Negative Flaw a hundred miles west of Qufu, let them wait for us there tomorrow."

"But I haven't packed up the baggage of returning to Jin yet."

"Your clothes, spices, and herbs have been taken care of for you, so we'll go and get them now." Shirtless kicked the door and walked out with me sideways.

At this moment, the faint sunlight outside the house was gone, and a drizzle was falling in the sky again. Those small, barely visible water droplets, like a mist silently shrouded the small courtyard with blue tiles and yellow walls in front of him. In a corner of the small courtyard, the acacia flowers that have experienced a night of wind and rain have long fallen, and the low-hanging treetops are green, only a bush of green grass at the bottom of the tree is still faintly visible.

"Hongyun'er, this kind of rain is the most lingering, you let me down first, and I'll find a robe for you to keep out the rain." I reached out and brushed away a few drops of water that had condensed on my shirtless brow, and said softly.

"I like this kind of rain, just hide in my arms later." Wuxian put on his shoes and strode down the steps, and shouted at Si'er outside the courtyard gate: "Si'er, Ah Shi and I will go out of the city today, you go to the house and get her baggage." By the way, get her a pair of silk socks and a pair of clean shoes! ”

"No!" Si'er answered, raising his eyes to look at me. I nodded softly, and she trotted into her room with her skirt in hand.

Wushirt put me on the edge of the well in the front yard, leaned over and carried half a bucket of water from the well: "Have you been in the house for so long and haven't you found that your socks are soaked in muddy water?" How much mud was on those shoes at the door, and if I didn't carry you out of the house, would you still want to wear them back in? Shirtless squatted down and ripped off the dirty socks on my feet, I shrank my feet back, but he reached out and grabbed my bare feet, "The well water is a little cold in the morning, you can bear with it, it will be fine soon" He scooped up the water with a wooden spoon next to the bucket, gently washing the mud from my feet.

The well water poured on the instep of my feet was cold, but the palms of my feet were hot, and I lowered my head and stared at the unfocused expression, but my heart felt like a knife. Hongyun'er, I don't want to be a burden to you, and I don't want you to marry someone else, but what should I do now?

"Mr. Zhao, let me come!" Si'er walked out of the house with a bag on her back and a pair of shoes, and when she saw that Wuxian was half-kneeling on the ground to wet my feet, she hurriedly ran over.

"No need, you call Ah Shou to come, I have something to tell him." Wushirt turned his head to take the shoes and socks from Si'er's hand, and I took the opportunity to bow my head and wipe the tears from my eyes.

"The shoes made by Ludi, the upper is always too thin, and when you return to the Jin Kingdom, I will ask someone to make you a few pairs of shoes that can be worn on rainy days." Shirtless gently wiped the water stains off my instep by clutching the sleeve of my shirt, I lifted my foot up and whispered, "I'll do it myself!" Suddenly let you go with me first, you must have a lot of things to explain to Ah Shou. I'm not a three-year-old, so I always wear shoes. ”

"Woman, don't move, don't take away my happiness. I have a lot of things I want to do with you, and this is one of them. Shirtless held my ankle and smiled and put on my stockings and embroidered shoes, "Okay, it will be warm later." ”

"Master, are you looking for me?" The swordsman head walked out of Ah Yu's room, and helped me stand up with a flick of his hem: "You wait for me outside the door first, and I'll come out immediately." ”

"Hmm." I stood still and beckoned to Si'er behind the swordsman's leader.

Si'er greeted him with a burden: "Ah Shi, are you going to leave now?" Why don't you wait for tomorrow morning to join us on the road? ”

"Yuu died last night in the shirtless room, and I don't want to sleep in that room tonight." I took the burden from Si'er's back and turned around and walked towards the gate.

"Then you can sleep with me?" Si'er walked two steps quickly and followed.

"If you want to marry Yu An as your wife, you won't be able to sleep with him when you return to the Jin Kingdom. At this time, I am willing to tear you apart. I took Si'er's hand all the way to the gate of the courtyard, "Si'er, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"What's the matter? Go ahead! ”

"If I can't attend Yu An's wedding, will you blame me?"

"Why? Where are you going? Won't you go back to Jin Kingdom with us? Si'er was in a hurry and grabbed my hand.

I smiled and brushed a strand of broken hair from Si'er's sideburns behind my ear: "Look at your urgency!" Naturally, I want to go back to the Jin Kingdom, otherwise where else can I go? Wuxian said that after going back this time, he would go to the Taishi Mansion to ask me for marriage, and I thought that if I was going to marry you on the same day, then your wedding, wouldn't I be able to go? ”

"You and Zhao Wuxian, you" Si'er Yuan looked at me with a pair of apricot eyes open and a look of astonishment. I smiled and nodded, and she suddenly jumped up and hugged me: "Great, great, we can get married together." Si'er smiled and narrowed her eyes, her cheeks flushed with laughter, and her crisp laughter echoed leisurely in the alley.

I held her hand tightly, knowing that in the days to come, someone else would hold her hand for me all the way. And where will I be then?

Wuxian quickly explained everything to the swordsman, and he carried me on the horse. I wanted to say goodbye to Yu An before leaving, but he still didn't show up until Wuxian covered my head with a green robe.

After bidding farewell to Si'er and the swordsman's head, the shirtless horse galloped away with me. I hid quietly in his arms, leaving behind all the wind and rain and all the distractions in my heart. Now, at last, it's just the two of us. If tomorrow we are going to separate, then let me be willful and indulge today!

I am a person who is born cold, and the blood flowing in my body seems to be much colder than ordinary people. On windy and rainy days, there is always a chill in the palms of the hands, and when you are sad, your body will become colder and colder. Perhaps, it is for this reason that I have been a heavy drinker since I was a child. The warm and spicy liquors can make me feel warm, but no matter which kind of wine, they can only burn in my stomach for a while, and after the strength of the wine, the cold is even stronger.

After spending time with Shirtless, I rarely drank anymore. Because his hands, his arms, his every look was warm. When he wraps around me, the warmth permeates every corner of my body. They reside in me, and I feel warm when I think of him.

But now, I'm cold. I sat on the back of a bumpy horse, trying to lean my body against the shirtless. The bosom I covet may soon no longer belong to me. I want to draw more warmth in his arms, and this warmth may sustain me for a long time to come.

I grabbed the horsehair in both hands and moved my body back a little, as if sensing my movements, his hand holding the horsewhip jerked around my waist and pulled it back.

"Woman, you shouldn't be so close to me when you're riding." He gently bit my ear through a thin layer of silk cloth.

Normally, in the face of his intimacy, I would definitely blush and avoid it, but today I grabbed his arm and pushed his back back.

A silent sigh spilled out of the shirtless mouth, and it scorched through the thin fabric with a scorching temperature, ironing my cheeks.

"Ashi, what are you doing?" The husky voice rang in my ears.

"I'm cold," I whispered back against his hot chest.

"Hold on to me." The shirtless palm clasped my waist and hugged me firmly.

On the back of the galloping horse, we snuggled quietly, quietly feeling each other's every breath.
