After parting with Qin Nanxian, Jiang Zuiyao went to Zuiyao Pavilion alone to take away her hard work in the past few months of research, this trip, she couldn't think of being as cowardly as last time.

After returning to Shaofu, I quietly began to pack my luggage, just simply preparing some clothes to change on weekdays, there are not too many complicated things, and bringing too much is a burden.

This night, Jiang Zuiyao fell asleep with Chu Yi in her arms, and she was reluctant to let go for a moment.

This is also Jiang Zuiyao's only concern in the world now, if she can't give up, only her daughter will be left.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the day dawned, Jiang Zuiyao no longer wore the skirt that mopped the floor on weekdays, but changed into a neat green shirt, with a very simple bun of green silk Wancheng, no makeup, no rouge and gouache, and walked to the couch without makeup.

Reluctantly touched Chu Yi's still sleeping face, smiled slightly, and murmured softly: "Wait for me to come back, if your mother can't come back, you have to live well." ”

For some reason, Jiang Zuiyao faintly felt that this trip seemed to hide unforeseen dangers.

In the past, she could have left in style, but now, her heart is full of concerns.

Chu Yi is still so young, not yet a year old, she hasn't heard her call her mother, she hasn't seen her grow up, if she really can't come back, Chu Yi will be her biggest regret.

Thinking about it, my eyes got wet.

It just so happened that at this moment, Xi Jun pushed open the door, she had been a personal maid for so many years, she had long been used to getting up early, looking at Jiang Zuiyao who woke up, and after freshening up, she was dressed upright, and said unexpectedly: "Master, why do you get up so early?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes secretly, stood up, eased her emotions, and then turned around and said, "I'm going out for a while and take care of Chu Yi." ”

Xi Jun was even more surprised, seeing that Jiang Zuiyao had already packed up his salute, he asked, "Where is the master going?" The slave didn't hear of it at all. ”

Jiang Zuiyao smiled lightly: "You don't have to know where I'm going, and if someone else asks, you don't have to tell me when I'm leaving." ”

Throwing down this sentence, Jiang Zuiyao walked out of the door, and chased after him with a confused face, and said, "Master, are you still coming back?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao stopped, looked back, and looked at her worriedly.

Jiang Zuiyao smiled slowly: "Of course I will come back." ”

Xi Jun nodded: "Then the slave will wait for you to come back with peace of mind." ”

Jiang Zuiyao, who wanted to leave, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "If I can't come back, I will sell all the expensive things in the treasury, take Chu Yi out of Kyoto with the silver, find a place to live, and raise her to adulthood." ”

Xi Jun panicked all of a sudden, ran to Jiang Zuiyao's side quickly, and said eagerly: "Master, what do you mean by this?" Yesterday was fine, why did you suddenly say that. ”

Jiang Zuiyao said bitterly: "Now the only person I can entrust is you, I must take care of Chu Yi." ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Zuiyao turned around and left in a hurry, no matter how she called her, she didn't look back, and walked resolutely.

After walking out of the door of Shaofu and walking out of two streets, Jiang Zuiyao dared to shed tears that she had endured for a long time.

The winter morning was cold, and the cheeks that were pierced by the cold wind were slightly painful, Jiang Zuiyao wiped her tears, and couldn't help laughing at her cowardice, she didn't know where to go or what to do on this trip, she actually felt sorry for herself like this.

When he arrived at the city gate, he found that Yuhe and Qin Nanxian had already arrived, Jiang Zuiyao walked over and said with a smile: "Why did you come so early, am I late?" ”

Yuhe ignored it indifferently, and Qin Nanxian said with a smile: "We have just arrived, it's not too late, your dress today is refreshing." ”

Jiang Zuiyao squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly: "Of course, when you go out on a long trip, you have to dress up a little smarter." ”

Qin Nanxian looked at Jiang Zuiyao's slightly red eyes, knowing that she was covering up some sad things, he didn't know why Jiang Zuiyao was crying, but he didn't want to ask, so he just smiled back.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the distance, which made the three of them look at it.

I saw a black shadow in the distance coming from the wind, extremely fast, galloping.

Yuhe immediately showed a vigilant gaze, and subconsciously held his hand on the sword at his waist, Qin Nanxian saw it and reminded him: "Yuhe, don't be impulsive first." ”

The wind is under the feet of the black shadow, if there are countless years of skill, it will never be able to step on the wind, seeing the black shadow getting closer and closer, he rushed to the front of the three people, and immediately nailed it to a stop.

The moment he stopped, a gust of cold wind hung up, blowing Jiang Zuiyao's green shirt and swaying with the wind.

Such a big aura, this is Jiang Zuiyao's first feeling.

It was so fast when it came running, but it was so steady when it stopped.

The three of them looked at this black shadow with concentrated eyes, and this black shadow also looked at the three of them, glanced at it roughly, and with an expressionless face, he suddenly smiled like a warm sun, and said with joy: "My name is Yichen, I will join the Nighthawk from now on, lead you on a mission, and meet for the first time, please take care of me." ”

Such a move made the three faces express surprise and suspicion.

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but look more and more carefully at the person named Yichen in front of him, with distinct facial features, with a little handsome, a warm smile, the morning light reflected on his face, sweet, warm, a breeze blew, and the long flowing sea floated through the eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth rose gently, like a warm sun.

Yuhe slowly loosened the hilt of his sword, hugged his fists and said, "Yuhe." ”

Jiang Zuiyao smiled back and said, "My name is Sumire." ”

Qin Nanxian also said: "Nanxian, take care of it in the future." ”

Yi Chen smiled more and more warmly and nodded: "I already knew your name when I came, the hour waits for no one, let's go." ”

The four of them went out of the city together, with Yi Chen leading the way in front, only feeling that he was just walking easily, but the speed was extremely fast, and Jiang Zuiyao had to walk fast to keep up.

Until dawn, when he walked into a wilderness, Yichen stopped, looked at a rugged road in the distance, and said nothing.

Jiang Zuiyao had already begun to breathe heavily, Yi Chen glanced at her, squinted and smiled, "Are you tired?" Don't worry, we've got carriages. ”

Jiang Zuiyao was stunned, in this deserted place, where to find a carriage?

didn't wait to calm down, only heard a "whoosh", Yichen disappeared in an instant, Jiang Zuiyao stood in place and looked around in a daze, Yuhe pointed to the distance and said, "He is there." ”

Following Yuhe's fingers, Yichen was already standing in the treetops, looking into the distance.

It's so fast, and the eyes can't keep up with it.

Yuhe said again: "This person has a deep foundation, even if he walks ordinarily, he is a step down, it seems that this time the Imperial City Division sent a master over." ”

Qin Nanxian frowned slightly and said, "It seems that it is indeed a tricky task. ”

Jiang Zuiyao pursed her lips silently, and breathed a deep sigh of relief, she inevitably felt some pressure, she was afraid that she would drag them back and become a burden.
