"If you are willing to come with me, my heart will be much more relaxed."

Duan Heng got up, pulled Xiao He into his arms, and said heavily in her ear.

There are many partings in this world, which are beyond human control, and when they are uncontrollable, they will blame everything on fate, which is a very good excuse.

But at this time, Xiao He's heart also rippled, remembering the picture of saying goodbye to Xiao Shijue that day, he was aroused infinitely sad, and the barrier that was originally built in his heart suddenly broke a gap, and the flesh and blood inside were undoubtedly exposed.

Duan Heng's easy words can touch her heart.

"Take care, maybe I will come to you one day, if I am spurned by the world at that time, are you willing to take me in?" She tried to make a smile, half-jokingly asking.

"Do you need to ask?" Duan Heng let go of her so that she could look at herself, "Even if you kill people and set fires, when you come to my territory, you will never let anyone hurt a hair of you!" Xiao He only regarded him as a brother, and felt a little relieved in his heart, "Thank you." ”

"You and I need no thanks. As long as you remember me......" Duan Heng was about to speak, but because Hongzhu came with a decanting soup, he interrupted for a while, so he couldn't continue. It was only a little bit before he could show his heart, but looking at the sincere brilliance in Xiao He's eyes, he felt that there were actually some things that didn't need to be said, and she should understand.

Two days later, Duan Heng set off. Before leaving, Xiao He also talked about the account sharing of the wine shop that he had partnered with him before, Duan Heng waved his hand and asked her to save the money together to prepare for the racecourse, and he also specially explained that the friend who planned to introduce Xiao He to contribute to the racecourse plan was estimated to come to the imperial capital soon, and he would let him come to her directly.

The mighty send-off procession, even Mu Churan came, standing on the tower of the city gate, sending Duan Heng out of the city.

Xiao He was under the city gate, standing in the crowd of people, and saw Princess Lao An standing next to Mu Churan above the gatehouse, and Duan Shengyi, both of them were crying like rain. Duan Shengyi even tugged at Mu Churan's sleeve, and kept talking to him with tears in his eyes. Then I saw Mu Churan stretching out his hand and caressing her back, as if he had soothed something, so that her complexion softened a little.

Standing behind them is the Changle princess Mu Qingjuan, compared to Duan Shengyi, Mu Qingjuan seems much more stable, but she wants to cry, her eyes are red, but she has been holding back, and she is strong. In this matter, she naturally has to firmly defend her royal brother's position, and she can't show too much sadness, even if she is really reluctant to let her cousin leave in her heart, but as a princess of a country, she should be self-aware.

Xiao He bowed slightly, feeling a lot in his heart.

The sky in the imperial capital is about to change.

In mid-October, the King of Chishui invited the four princes of Dayue and the Emperor Dayin to go to the Biansai grassland for autumn hunting.

This invitation was sent more than a month ago, and Mu Churan also responded, selected some young generals and individual civil officials, and set off with nearly 100 entourage. The destination is close to the junction of the three countries, and a little closer to the north, and is called Ahagrad, which means a blessed land from heaven.

There is a natural grassland surrounded by forests, and there are many wild animals at this time.

It is guarded by three armies to prevent civilians from accidentally breaking in. After arriving at the hunting ground, the Chishui tribe prepared tents in advance for them to stay in. Xiao He's mood was heavy, but at this time, he was a little relieved to see Liu Yingluo.

As soon as I arranged the various residences, I heard that the tent on Mu Churan's side was a little noisy, and her tent was specially arranged to be attached to Mu Churan's big tent. It was hard to hear it, so she had to come out and take a look.

It turned out that Duan Shengyi pretended to be a guard and mixed in the team, entered Mu Churan's big tent, and after being recognized, Mu Churan was training her.

Liu Zixin, the chief of the guard, bore the brunt of the punishment. Liu Zixin also secretly complained in his heart, and before he set off, he was entangled by Duan Shengyi in various ways, so that he had to bring her with him. Duan Shengyi swore that he would be punished if he said something wrong, and he would never be asked to carry the black pot. He was also helpless, so he had to help her blend into the team, thinking that she would definitely not be able to stand the hard work on the road, so he quietly sent someone to send her back halfway.

As a result, the county lord gritted his teeth and persevered, and followed all the way to the end.

Duan Shengyi only brought a maidservant, pretending to be a guard with him, and followed the team. She deliberately chose a handmaid who knew martial arts and had a strong figure, and whenever she was tired, she carried her on the road. This is the only way to get her mixed in at the end of the team and follow her all the way to the paddock.

Even if Mu Churan asked someone to send her back, Duan Shengyi cried and refused to leave.

Xiao He stood at the door of the big tent and watched from a distance, but felt that Duan Shengyi had stayed, and it was really interesting to see Mu Churan's headache. These days, Duan Shengyi will definitely try his best to entangle Mu Churan, then he must be idle, so he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic and said: "Your Majesty, the county lord has followed all the way with great difficulty, and he must have suffered a lot. Now it is too pitiful to ask her to return to the imperial capital with her daughter's body. It's better to ask her to stay, this autumn hunt did not say that women were not allowed to participate. If you have to send her back and let the other two states know, it will seem that Your Majesty is too unkind. ”

Duan Shengyi was very surprised to see Xiao He actually speaking for him, but he was very surprised, and couldn't help but echo: "Yes, Lord Xiao is reasonable. Brother Chu Ran, you just let Sheng Yi stay. ”

Mu Churan raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, rubbed them, and sighed, "Okay, then you stay in the tent and don't run around!" Then he instructed Liu Zixin to arrange more manpower to take care of him. It's called care, it's really care, Xiao He smiled secretly in his heart, Mu Churan prevented Duan Shengyi like a thief.

Duan Shengyi was sent out of the big tent, and when he passed by Xiao He's side, he actually said thank you to her for the first time. After all, she is also the daughter of a tiger general, but she has a clear love and hate, and she doesn't owe anyone half of her affection.

That night, the king of Chishui held a banquet and ate roasted whole sheep.

Xiao He saw Liu Yingluo beside the Chishui King Daduo from a distance, her outfit had been changed into the outfit of a Saibei woman, her hair was braided into small braids, and many small gold and silver beads were tied, which was also good-looking. Her complexion was bright and red, but she was healthy and happy. As she had written in the letter she had received from Yingluo, Daduo had treated her well.

A person's smile can be faked, but whether the eyes are happy or not is difficult to disguise.

On the other side, there are only three princes sitting on the seat of the Great Moon Kingdom, and I heard that it is the youngest fourth prince who is greedy for fun on the road, and he has not yet arrived. This time, the emperor of the Great Moon Kingdom, Ge Shu Qin, was supposed to be present at the same time, but the queen was about to give birth, so he could not come. He already has two daughters and four princes, and now the queen will have a second son in this child.

The four princes are the eldest son Ge Shulie, the second son (eldest son) Ge Shudao, the third son Ge Shuqi, and the fourth son Ge Shufei. Ge Shulie is seven or eight years older than the other brothers, the second son Ge Shudao is the same age as Mu Churan, Ge Shuqi and Ge Shufei were born in the same year, but Ge Shufei was born to the favorite concubine of Emperor Dayue, and he has been particularly favored since he was a child, and his personality is also born to be high-flying, but he should be named.

Emperor Dayue is in the prime of life, and the matter of the crown prince has not yet been decided, so there is some competition between the four sons, plus the fifth son of the emperor who is about to come to the world, the prince's affairs, everything is unknown.

Xiao He glanced at the princes opposite, and their appearances stood out. The people of Dayue are many beautiful women and handsome men, and the royal family is even more so, when the first crown princess brother Shu Xinyue, I heard that she is a peerless beauty, even the court painter can not paint her beauty, and the description of Danqing can only reach five or six out of ten. In the Dayue folk, there are still many folk songs praising her beauty.

The Great Moon Country is not as good as the Great Yin, and the poetry and songs are endowed, but the men, women and children are all good at singing and dancing, so there are many people who are proficient in dance and music.

The dinner was held in the open air, and in the middle of the room was a huge bonfire.

There are more than a dozen big moon dancing girls, wearing light gauze dance costumes and entering the stadium to the beat of drums. Although the weather is as cold as water this October, the dance clothes on their bodies are extremely fabric-saving, and their graceful posture looms in this tulle. In addition, each of them wore a veil, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, but they were like pearls shining in the dark night.

But the dancers will look closely at the eyes of the dancing queen, and I am afraid that there is only Xiao He.

She glanced around the arena a little, and everyone who watched the dance was either staring at the enchanting figure of the dancing girl, and her eyes were either greedy or obscene. Daduo on the first seat turned his head to look at Liu Yingluo, and leaned over to say something to her from time to time, the two of them were very natural and intimate, not like deliberate. If Ridado treats her like this in private, it will also be a blessing for Yingluo.

Xiao He couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face, and inadvertently turned around and saw Mu Churan's gaze, directly opposite him, her smile was still on her face, and it seemed to be an ambiguous signal in Mu Churan's eyes. Let his eyes bend slightly, and he will show favor to her even if he is separated by a few people.

Suddenly, the rhythm of the music changed, and the drums beat became more cheerful. The dancers spun like butterflies, their skirts fluttering, and their legs were exposed. In the eyes of Da Yin's customs, this costume is very bold, so Xiao He smelled a lot of applause from our seat. I'm afraid that because of Mu Churan's ban on spring before, many serious young men on this trip have not seen such a beautiful picture for a long time, and they can't help themselves for a while.

But Xiao He listened to the music after the transformation, but it was very familiar, she was slightly stunned, and recalled the relevant memories in her mind.

This song was originally a well-known folk song of the Great Moon, almost everyone can sing it, make it into dance music, and everyone can dance. When she first arrived at the wine shop that Xiao Shi built for her, the dancing girl danced this tune. At that time, she never knew what he planned for her.

Looking back now, it turns out that since then, he has been planning for his departure, and escaped from her with a premeditated parting. Since there was no parting in the end, why did she have to promise in the first place. She believed, but he was gone.

Her body didn't move, her eyes were looking at Mu Churan, but she was thinking about another person in her heart, and her eyes were full of tears.
