Chapter 53: The Return
The day of parting always comes quickly.
Huo Qingxin's injury had almost recovered, and she felt that it was time to leave.
After Wen Xun knew what she meant, he didn't keep her, but promised to send her back to Yangzhou in person.
What Huo Qingxin didn't know was that Wen Xun had already ordered someone to buy a house on the outskirts of Yangzhou when she decided to go back to Yangzhou.
Originally, in Yangzhou City, there was also a rudder of the Medicine King Sect, and this time he wanted to take advantage of the time to send Huo Qingxin back, and temporarily live there for a while.
No matter what the reason, he was always a little worried about Huo Qingxin.
Soon, the day came for them to leave.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Wen Xun did not bring Fengyang with him on this trip.
This made Feng Yang a little disappointed, and it also made Huo Qingxin feel a little pity.
He could have flown and returned to Yangzhou earlier, but Wen Xun took the land route instead, arranging a carriage, a bag, and even plenty of food for several days.
When Huo Qing saw this battle, he couldn't help but wonder, is this person going to play in the mountains and rivers!
At this moment, a mahogany spacious carriage departed from the Medicine King Sect and gradually drove away towards the bottom of the mountain.
This is the first time that Wen Xun has left the Medicine King Sect with some swagger.
Everyone in the sect knows that their sect master has always lived in seclusion, why did the sun come out of the west today.
In the past few days, there have been rumors that when Wen Xun killed King Teng's snake on the mountain, he saved a woman who broke into the mountain without permission.
It was only later that the woman's whereabouts disappeared, making everyone wonder about the woman's origin.
can be discussed, and who dares to ask too much about the affairs of the sect master.
Huo Qingxin sat in the carriage, like sitting on pins and needles.
It's just that there are only two people in the carriage at this time, she and Wen Xun, and since getting into the car, she obviously feels that the eyes of the man opposite have basically been falling on her.
This made her even more uncomfortable, and she didn't even know where to put her eyes.
Finally, under a period of torment, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at the man opposite.
As soon as she met the man's gentle gaze, her face was numb, and she quickly lowered her head again.
muttered a phrase in his mouth, "What are you looking at"
The man replied with a smile on his lips.
"I'm looking at you"
“。。。。。。” These words couldn't help but make Huo Qingxin's face even redder.
His fingers were even more shy, nervously tugging at his clothes.
Today's Wen Xun changed his usual outfit of always wearing a white robe and wore a lilac robe.
It looks like a spring breeze, warm as jade, and even more handsome and extraordinary!
When Huo Qingxin first saw him in the morning, he was unconsciously stunned.
If you go out like this, I don't know how many people you will attract and fall for it.
This time when I went back, apart from the two of them, there was only one driver in the car.
Thinking of this, Huo Qingxin couldn't help asking.
"Come out this time, why don't you bring Fengyang with you?"
With Fengyang here, she can also pass the time all the way, instead of staring at each other with big eyes like now.
Hearing her mention Feng Yang, the man's face instantly darkened.
That look is faster than changing the sky!
The man asked in a deep voice, "Why, you really want him to come with you?" ”
Huo Qingxin was obviously aware of the change in the man opposite, and wondered.
"What's wrong with you, did Feng Yang make something wrong!" Otherwise, no matter how many times or twice, as long as she mentions Fengyang, this person will immediately change her face.
Hearing her say this, the man finally put away his gaze that had been staring at her all the way, and turned his head directly to look at the scenery outside the window.
Seeing this, Huo Qingxin was so surprised that even his eyebrows wrinkled together.
What does this mean, how to be so dignified and still lose your temper.
It's just that the time she has known this person is not too short, and it is the first time she has seen him in an emotional mood.
I thought to myself, could it really be that Feng Yang had committed something that made him angry like this.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but comfort herself, and she also wanted to help Fengyang say good things.
Talking eloquently, "People are not saints and sages, and that person in Fengyang is a little more rigid, and he is still dedicated to you, even if he has any tasks and does not complete them well, you don't have to be too angry."
I don't know that I was just a man who was a little displeased, but when I heard these words, the displeasure in my heart became bigger and bigger.
Turning his head, he refocused his gaze on the person opposite.
asked directly, "Why do you care so much about Fengyang?" ”
Care?
Huo Qingxin was a little puzzled when he heard this word.
In the Medicine King Sect, there are only a handful of people she knows, and she has a small friendship with Fengyang.
Besides, when she went to Bashu, she was escorted by Fengyang all the way, and if he had anything, she would naturally help say a few words.
If she cares, it doesn't reach a certain level, she feels that he and Fengyang are gentlemen's friends, there is no conflict of interest, there is no mutual use, just like friends.
Thinking of this, she replied.
"Although Fengyang is your subordinate, he has helped me many times, and we can be regarded as a small friendship, if you want to say that you care... Friends, it's understandable to care about something."
Just like she did to Su Jianxiang, and even the seventh aunt in the Hidden Sword Villa, Xiao Yi.
She cares about people who are good to her.
When Wen Xun heard this, his face became more and more unsightly, and after staring at the person who spoke for a long time, he asked a question coldly.
"Fengyang is your friend, and it's understandable that you care about him, then... What about me! ”
This question completely stopped Huo Qingxin.
He asked, "Why do you suddenly ask such a question?" That's how she answered.
A man's gaze is like a burning flame, trapping the people in his sight with fire.
Huo Qingxin couldn't help but lower his head again, unable to look directly at the person opposite.
But the man didn't give her a chance to dodge, and asked again.
"I have saved you in danger several times, before I knew that you cheated to death, but I pretended not to know, let you retreat, you want the inner tank of the king snake, I will also help you get it... So what am I in your heart? Is it a friend like Fengyang.,Or... Something else ... ”
Such a straightforward question made Huo Qingxin more and more nervous at a loss.
She had already learned everything from Wen Zhe about how she was able to leave the Medicine King Sect smoothly last year.
It turned out that this person had already understood everything, but he was silent, and he cooperated with them in a play.
What is his place in her heart ... This kind of problem, she is a girl's family, even if she doesn't have a woman's temperament, she still feels very shy when facing people she admires.
Dodging the staring gaze, he replied.
"I am very grateful to you for your rescue several times, I Huo Qing can't repay it, but now that I have returned to Yangzhou, I am afraid that we will part ways. Whatever you need me to do in the future, I will do my best to help you! ”
She could only answer like this, she has now embarked on the journey back to Yangzhou, and the two of them don't know if they will have a chance to meet again in the future.
Thinking of this, her heart was a sense of loss.
The man stared at her lowered eyes, feeling the helplessness and loneliness in her words.
hooked the corners of his mouth again and asked a question that Huo Qingxin had always wanted him to ask.
"You don't want to go back to Yangzhou!"
This is an affirmative sentence, not a doubt.
Huo Qingxin suddenly raised his head, and he crashed into the sparkling eyes with a smile.
In hindsight, she realized that the question this person just asked was deliberate!
His face was numb, and he suddenly looked like a burning cloud, and his face was full of red glow.
Some pouted angrily and said, "You fool me!" ”
The corners of the man's mouth curled more and more, and he replied softly.
"When did I fool you?"
"You're obviously deliberately tricking me!" She's so stupid, she's been led around by this person's nose for a long time, and she doesn't know yet.
"Knowing that you care about me very much in your heart and don't want to leave the Medicine King Sect, I'm very happy!"
As soon as these words came out, Huo Qingxin was even more embarrassed, ashamed and anxious.
"You!! When did I say I cared about you! ”
The man's eyes sparkled, and he smiled like a cunning fox.
"Not only do I know that you don't want to leave the Medicine King Sect, but I also know that you actually don't want to leave me."
"You!! Shameless! The person who was told the central thing retorted with a blushing face, and turned around in shame and sulked.
This man was so hateful, how could he know what she was thinking.
But just like that, she was exposed to her heart in person, she was really the first time in her life, she was ashamed, and she just wanted to find a hole to get into.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the carriage had already made Huo Qingxin more and more unable to sit still, she hurriedly shouted when she wanted to jump out of the car in a hurry.
"Parking! I'm going to be convenient! ”
She is a girl's family, and she is not ashamed at all.
It made the little guy who was driving outside the car feel embarrassed when he heard it.
On the other hand, the man in the carriage always had a happy smile on his face.
Huo Qingxin saw that the car did not stop, and continued to shout at the thin man who was driving outside the car.
"Little plum! I told you to stop, did you hear me! Do you want me to pull in the carriage! ”
The little driver who was called Xiao Lizi almost slipped the reins in his hand when he heard this almost shouting sound.
Like Feng Yang, he was also Wen Xun's former secret guard, who followed him for many years, from birth to death.
Last year, Wen Xun sent two secret guards to protect Huo Qingxin's safety at all times, one was Fengyang, and the other was him, Li Yong.
After Huo Qingxin knew his name, he kept calling him Xiao Lizi.
She thought it was kind to call him that.
And Wen Xun in the car almost laughed out loud when he heard this almost roaring shout at this moment.
finally opened his mouth and instructed the people outside the car, "Li Yong, stop on the side of the road"
Li Yong received the order of his master and replied.
"Yes!"
Then the carriage stopped on the side of a tree-lined path.
It's just that the carriage has not yet stopped, and I saw that the curtain of the carriage was vigorously opened.
Wearing a pale cyan robe, Huo Qingxin, who was dressed as a man, had a red face and came out of the carriage a little angrily.
After seeing that Li Yong was trying his best to avoid her sight outside, she almost took off the shoes on her feet and smashed him a few times.
said angrily, "Xiao Lizi, you are too unkind, I think I asked Fengyang to bring peach blossom crisp for you to eat two days ago, I knew you were like this, I wouldn't have eaten it for you!" ”
didn't even stop her car, and waited for the man to speak!
It's really unjust!
At the mention of peach blossom cake, the eyes of the man in the car darkened, and then returned to normal.
These days, although Huo Qingxin is recuperating in the Nanhua Palace, he is not idle.
Pounding this and pounding that all day long, the Nanhua Palace, which was originally lifeless, has added a lot of popularity.
Huo Qingxin would make some pastries in private, and when they were ready, she would not only take some for Wen Xun to taste, but also carry Wen Xun behind her back and distribute the pastries to the secret guards who protected her.
Now, how many of Wen Xun's subordinates around him have been bought by Huo Qingxin's pastries.
Wen Xun was helpless when he knew it, but he felt warm.
He hadn't felt this way for many years.
Therefore, he wanted to stay in Yangzhou for the time being, perhaps to be closer to Huo Qingxin.
Or perhaps, he wants to be able to eat the peach blossom cake she made often...
