Chapter Ninety-Five: The Lonely Goose

Xu is leisure in the past few days has made Jin Se feel a little more at ease, although he still can't get rid of the shadow of Xuan Ming in his mind, but he also has a little less disgust for Zhong Lishuo. There is also hatred, but Jin Se is not a scheming woman, she naturally understands that if she wants to take revenge on Zhong Lishuo, she must first get close to him, so she doesn't bother to go against him again, the relationship between the two has eased slightly, but Jin Se is still cold.

The wind on the desert is getting colder and colder, and Jin Se still feels that the wind is pouring in through the cracks in the tent, which only makes the already cold people feel even colder. Zhong Lishuo saw that Jin Se was also recovering better, so he said that he would leave for Beijing the next day. In fact, he also had some muttering in his heart, now that he thinks about it, if he goes back, Jin Se meets Wen Shumei, and he thinks that this day will not be as quiet as before.

However, some things always have to be faced, and since Zhong Lishuo dared to leave Jin Se behind, he must have had some thoughts about Wen Shumei's reaction. It's just that this day has not come after all, and I am still a little uneasy in my heart.

It has been some time since he came out of Jingshi, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Jingshi, plus Zhong Lishuo didn't sleep very well the night before, and his heart was always palpitating, but he couldn't explain why, which made him feel uneasy, as if something bad had happened in the dark.

As night fell, Zhong Lishuo paced back and forth outside the tent, his eyes always looking at the remnants of the sun on the western horizon. Jinse came out of the tent, looked at him, and then retracted his head. After a while, the soldiers under his command suddenly came to report that two horses were galloping towards this place not far away. Zhong Lishuo was shocked, could it be that Xuan Ming brought someone here?

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not, and he was hesitating, so he ordered to go down and let the soldiers below be on standby at any time to prepare for a big battle.

After a while, the two horses slowed down near the place where the army was stationed, and a soldier hurried to report to Zhong Lishuo, saying that there was a man on the two horses, who looked like Chen Tong, and the other looked like a woman. Zhong Lishuo listened, and suddenly frowned, wasn't Chen Tong sent by him to follow General Wentai, how did he find it, and he brought a woman. Zhong Lishuo became more and more puzzled, so he could only wait for the two of them to arrive and ask.

Zhong Lishuo thought about it, then turned around and went into Jin Se's tent and sat on a Taishi chair, Jin Se just looked up at him, but did not speak. There was an inquiring meaning in Zhong Lishuo's eyes, so he said to himself:

"Chen Tong brought someone here, and I'm waiting here. You don't have to go out. Jin Se turned around to look at Zhong Lishuo, and then stood next to the other Taishi chair. She wondered a little, how could someone rush to this desert desolate realm, could it really be that something happened. While Jin Se hesitated, a man and a woman were led into the tent by the soldiers.

Jin Se was startled at first, it turned out that Chen Tong was the man who hurt him last time, Jin Se vaguely remembered that he had cut off one of his fingers, so he subconsciously looked at Chen Tong's hand, but his hand was wrapped in a cloth, and he couldn't see it too real.

Chen Tong entered the tent, first saw Zhong Lishuo with slightly lowered eyes, and saw that there was a person standing not far from Zhong Lishuo, and subconsciously glanced at it, but saw that it was Jin Se, and was startled at first. Thinking about how she was here, when she saw Zhong Lishuo's indifferent appearance, she pressed the doubts in her heart. He turned around and glanced at Wen Shumei, who was standing beside him, and suddenly felt that there was something that gave Zhong Lishuo a headache.

"Your Highness." Chen Tong called Zhong Lishuo, Zhong Lishuo raised his head slightly to look at Chen Tong, but when he saw Wen Shumei standing beside Chen Tong, he only felt that his body was numb like a lightning strike, and suddenly frowned, and said to Wen Shumei:

"Why are you here?" As soon as these words came out, Jin Se set his eyes on the woman standing beside Chen Tong. Wearing a delicate double moon bun, exquisite makeup, a pair of beautiful eyes are full of tears, dressed in a gorgeous costume, I think it is due to the cold weather in the coat and add a velvet cape, the brim of the hairpin with a circle of fine white fox hair, it looks graceful and luxurious. Jin Se knew the identity of this woman at a glance, and then glanced at Zhong Lishuo's face, and his heart was even clearer.

Thinking about it, this woman must be a young lady from a high-ranking family, and even between her eyebrows is a noble arrogance that cannot be despised. Jin Se raised the corner of his mouth, waiting to see how Zhong Lishuo should deal with it.

As soon as Wen Shumei entered the tent, her attention was always on Zhong Lishuo, and as for Jin Se standing in the corner, she didn't put it in her eyes. Besides, she had only quarreled with Zhong Lishuo before, if it weren't for the big incident in Jingshi, his father forced him to come to Zhong Lishuo with Chen Tong, and she didn't want to look at Zhong Lishuo's face. I thought that Zhong Lishuo would be a little happy to see her, and even came to coax her, but I didn't think that after this meeting, Zhong Lishuo only had a cold sentence, "Why are you here." It really made Wen Shumei feel cold in an instant. Wen Shumei rolled her eyes and said angrily at Zhong Lishuo:

"What's the matter, does Your Highness mean that Mei'er can't come here?" Zhong Lishuo suddenly realized that he shouldn't have spoken, he didn't want to quarrel with Wen Shumei in front of Jin Se. Thinking about it, Li Jinse doesn't have much of a good impression of Zhong Lishuo now, and he will no longer oppose him in the past two days, and he must not let Wen Shumei grasp the factor of making trouble. He coughed softly and whispered to Jinse:

"Jinse, you go to the tent next to you first. I'll come back later, and I have something to say to Chen Tong. When Jin Se heard Zhong Lishuo's words, he understood that he wanted to break himself away, lest he see him arguing with this noble woman. So he nodded, bypassed Chen Tong and Wen Shumei and walked out of the tent. But Jin Se also had doubts in his heart, these two people suddenly came from Jingshi thousands of miles away, presumably there was something important, so they went around to the back of the tent and quietly listened to the movement in the tent.

When Jin Se passed by Wen Shumei's side, Wen Shumei noticed Jin Se who was standing in the corner, and heard Zhong Lishuo's name again. I was suddenly shocked. It turned out that she was Jinse. After that, her eyes changed when she looked at Zhong Lishuo, she didn't see Jin Se's appearance clearly, but she could see Zhong Lishuo's appearance. She tilted her head and stopped looking at Zhong Lishuo. Zhong Lishuo didn't seem to notice that Wen Shumei was wrong, but just recovered his serious expression and asked Chen Tong lightly:

"Why are you here all of a sudden?" Chen Tong's expression became solemn in an instant, he took two steps forward, stood still in front of Zhong Lishuo, and lowered his voice:

"The emperor died. The crown prince took control of the government, and when he learned that you were not in the capital, he ordered the palace to be besieged. I was ordered by General Wentai to save the princess and come out to find you. ”
