Xue Qian also stopped in place, his eyes inadvertently revealing a trace of sadness.

He also looked for it, he sent portraits to distant relatives and friends, and asked them to help him pay attention to it, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But once or twice, people replied that they couldn't find it, so he stopped urging it.

A mere body of flesh and blood can easily disappear without a trace in this world.

Although the lack of news is good news, he thinks that it is more than lucky, and he regrets it, but it is irreparable.

"Are you looking for it again?" Xue Qian didn't get Sheng Ting's answer, so he asked again.

In Sheng Ting's dark eyes, a trace of trance flashed quickly, and then he nodded.

"Well, I'm not looking for it. So many people have been looking for three years and have not found it, and if she is really alive, three years will be enough time for her to come back. ”

"Good boy!" Xue Qian hooked Sheng Ting's shoulder, "You can figure it out, I thought you would stay in that ghost place in Liangzhou for the rest of your life and never come back." ”

Sheng Ting glanced at Xue Qian: "Do you think I wander around the river every day to find someone who doesn't have to do things?" ”

"Oh? Let's hear it, what else do you do in Liangzhou every day in addition to training troops? Let me tell you what I've done in the past few years.

I held a rice planting contest in the spring, and I barely managed to finish second-to-last, and during the autumn harvest I held another rice cutting contest, which made me more powerful and ranked in the top five. ”

How could Sheng Ting not hear the depression in Xue Qian's words, and ruthlessly crushed him:

"On the coast of Liangzhou, in the past three years, I have led people to cut down and build ships, and now our army's large warships have been able to sail away."

"............" Xue Qian didn't want to speak, people were really angry compared to people, and waved his hand and said, "No wonder the prince of the world still smiled when he saw you, I knew that I shouldn't have followed my father to do food and grass in the first place."

By the way, you said that you should try to go to sea to find it, after all, you have already found a piece of the river in the boundary of Xuanguo. ”

Hearing this, the look in Sheng Ting's eyes when he mentioned the warship gradually faded, and he took a deep breath:

"Xue Qian, don't look for it, I really won't look for it."

"General Sheng." Before Sheng Ting's words fell, he heard someone calling him.

He looked forward and saw Sixi holding the child and Bai Lu standing side by side on the bluestone path not far ahead.

When he saw Sixi looking at him, his eyes were slightly red, thinking that he had heard what he had just said about not continuing to look for Jing Xi.

Because Bai Lu was also present, Sheng Ting and Xue Qian both greeted her: "I have seen the princess." ”

"The two generals don't have to be polite," Bai Lu stood still and smiled slightly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet here today." ”

Xue Qian said politely: "The little boy is a lot taller. ”

"Children grow up fast." Bai Lu gently touched his son's head, and then looked at Sixi and Sheng Ting, "You talk." ”

Xue Qian said with interest: "Xiao Yishui has also grown a lot taller, give me a hug for a while." ”

Yishui, the kid didn't know much about life, Xue Qian wanted to hug him, and he really opened his hand.

Sixi walked in the direction where Sheng Ting was for a while, and stopped a few steps away: "General, is there still no news this time?" ”

"............" She has asked the same thing many times, every time he comes back from Liangzhou over the years, she will ask it like this again, and every time, his answer is the same.

"Nope."

Sixi nodded, this was the expected answer, but she couldn't help but ask more: "General...... Don't you plan to look for it again? ”

Sheng Ting nodded indifferently: "My subordinates will continue to look for it, but I won't look for it anymore." ”

Sixi Chao Sheng Ting was deeply blessed, and his lips trembled slightly: "Sixi, thank you general." ”

Sheng Ting calmly accepted her salute: "No thanks, Xiangyun hasn't given up yet." ”

"Sixi will not give up, Sixi will retire."

Sheng Ting listened to Sixi's choked voice, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

……

Out of the Governor's Mansion, Xue Qian proposed: "Let's go, let's have a drink." ”

Sheng Ting glanced down at the clothes on his body and said, "It's inconvenient for me to wear this." ”

"What's there, I'll accompany you home to change your set first."

Sheng Ting said 'um', and he agreed.

But on the way home, Sheng Ting suddenly regretted again: "Xue Qian, let's go back next time." Next time, I'll ask you to eat meat and drink a lot, but this time I'm in a hurry overnight, and I'm a little tired. ”

"Then you rest first, I'm so happy to see you, I forgot that you didn't have a good rest." Xue Qian said, and at the same time followed Sheng Ting's gaze and looked forward.

There are three adjacent courtyards, namely the Murong family, the Jing family and the Sheng family.

Now that two of the courtyards have no owners, he can't bear to take this road. If he wanted to come to the Sheng family next time, he was determined to go in a different direction.

He patted Sheng Ting's shoulder: "Have a good rest, and come back to you another day." ”

Sheng Ting went back to see Grandma Sheng, and the grandparents talked for a while, and Grandma Sheng sympathized with Sheng Ting's hard work, so she urged him to wash and rest.

It's just that Sheng Ting didn't rest after bathing, but changed into a regular dress and called the people in the family: "Go and see if Mrs. Sixi next door has returned, and give her this burden." ”

The servant answered yes, and stepped forward lightly to take the burden on the table.

Just one foot had just stepped out of the threshold, and Sheng Ting's voice rang out again: "Forget it, let's put it back." ”

The subordinate answered yes again and put the burden back in its place again.

Sheng Ting sat in place, staring at the burden for a long time, and finally stood up and personally carried the burden out of the courtyard.

He personally went to the courtyard of the Jing family next door.

The old servant guarding the door of the Jing family recognized him and said in surprise: "General Sheng is here?" Hurry up inside please. Yaoshan is not here, what orders does the general have, why don't you let the old slave tell you on your behalf? ”

Jing Xi is gone, Sixi has never regarded herself as the master of this house, even if she and Yaoshan husband and wife become a family, they still live in the backyard, and the upper room of the main courtyard will always be reserved for Jing Xi.

"No need," Sheng Ting briefly explained the purpose of his trip, "Sixi is not here, I have something to give to her, just say a few words and leave." ”

"Yes, I just came back from the Governor's Mansion with my child, and the general will have a cup of tea first, and I will send someone to call her over."

The old servant wanted to lead Sheng Ting to the living room, but Sheng Ting refused, raised his feet and went to the stone table in the courtyard: "I'll just wait here." ”

There is a bunch of grape trellises in this corner, and some flowers and plants are planted under the grape trellises.

Only now sitting on this stone bench, I already feel like a world away.
