Chapter 68: The Final Meeting
Yuanzi said lightly: "It's not time to make a conclusion yet." ”
Xu Nan was silent.
There is an inexplicable tacit understanding between the two people.
For the girl's dream, for the truest and purest feelings, for the country, for the family, for the rise of the empire.
Liu Ying stood in the wind and snow, looking at the two tall backs, thoughtful.
The kind of jealousy, fighting, and trouble she was worried about did not appear.
So they are all very calm, very rational, and very outstanding young talents, and it is difficult to find one.
He Xiaoer hid in a sheltered place, stomping his feet to keep out the cold while observing the situation.
It's good, the two fools didn't fight, and the girl surnamed Liu didn't get up, and everyone kept a reasonable and safe distance.
I just don't know when He Damiao will come back.
Suddenly, someone blew a whistle.
Many people ran to open the gates, and they shouted, "Quick! Fast! Preparing the ginger soup, Captain He and they are back. ”
It's He Damiao back!
He Xiaoer didn't care about being exposed, so he rushed out with an arrow and ran onto the city wall.
A team of men and horses walked in the white snowfield.
The man at the head was wrapped in thick fur, but he still looked a size smaller than the others, and she led the horse with some difficulty, or rather, the whole group looked very tired.
Hearing the whistle, she looked up at the city walls, and when she saw them, she was visibly stunned.
Immediately, she threw the reins to the people behind her and strode towards the city gates, waving at them and laughing loudly as she ran.
Snow is like rain, and the wind is like a knife.
She jumped and jumped, her voice as crisp as a bell, and her fur hat slipped off, revealing a red scarf around her neck.
Delicate as a mountain flower, it burned the eyes of Yuanzi and He Xiaoer.
These are their seedlings, their pride, their heroic lovely seedlings.
He Xiaoer jumped up and shouted: "Sister, sister, He Damiao!" ”
He was still in the stage of changing his voice, and his voice was rough and unpleasant, like the crow screaming, breaking the dreamy beauty.
Yuanzi and Xu Nan both looked at him dissatisfied: "When did you come?" Didn't you say you weren't allowed to come with me? ”
Dead and poor people are not as good as dead friends, He Xiaoer pointed behind him: "I don't worry about Sister Liu, I came with her." ”
Yuanzi and Xu Nan turned around at the same time and saw Liu Ying standing below.
Liu Ying generously curtsied.
Xu Nan looked at Yuanzi with a smile.
Yuanzi ignored him, but turned around and descended the city wall and walked towards the city gate.
The gate of the city had been opened, and the seedlings rushed in with a cold wind, and Kankan stopped in front of Yuanzi, and the distance between them was less than half a foot.
In the current situation, it couldn't be closer.
After being separated for too long, the thoughts become demons, and any change in the lover can be found in an instant.
Yuanzi looked at the seedlings greedily, gestured his hand on the top of her head, and said solemnly, "Grow taller!" ”
He Miao pursed her lips and looked at him and smiled, and there were thousands of things she wanted to say to him, such as how she patrolled the mountains to find her way, for example, what she was thinking about when she encountered difficulties and obstacles.
But soon, she took a step back.
He was still clean and luxurious, and she was scruffy.
He came from the rear of Longcheng, and was carefully tended to his daily life along the way; And she returned from the tour, drank snow water and gnawed coarse grains, and did not bathe or change clothes for several days.
She was afraid that the smell of her body would smoke him! I'm even more afraid of being disliked by him!
He Miao saluted Yuanzi solemnly, not only maintaining his majesty, but also not letting people think that she was different: "Your Highness has always been well? ”
Yuanzi noticed her small movements, smiled in his eyes, and said majestically: "No courtesy, this palace is very good." ”
A goose feather of snow falls on the eyelashes of the seedlings and condenses into water, like tears, which will not fall.
Yuanzi wanted to brush it off for her, but she couldn't.
Countless pairs of eyes stared, and he couldn't.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little more awkward.
He Xiaoer rushed up at the right time and squeezed in: "Sister, sister, my father and mother miss you and the third and fourth children." ”
He Miao ravaged He Xiaoer, rubbed his hair, pinched his face and patted his shoulders, picking and choosing, everything he could think of, what he couldn't do to Yuanzi, he did everything.
The awkward atmosphere was relieved.
Yuanzi stared intently at the seedlings.
She has grown taller, darker and thinner, and the coquettishness and innocence that she used to have without knowing the pain are all gone, and her eyebrows are heroic and resolute.
She was dressed in a mess, and her face was covered with antifreeze animal fat, but even so, she could see that her cheeks were red and rough.
Only the eyes, still with a sense of elf naughty pride.
She looked at him and smiled, her eyes full of joy, but at the same time a little reserved and cautious.
Matsuko was suddenly sad, and he realized that he was getting farther and farther away from her.
He didn't know what she was restraining or avoiding, but he knew that the tacit understanding between them was gone.
Someone came with a large pot and bowl and poured ginger soup for the people who had just returned.
He Miao stretched out a pair of frostbitten hands, happily picked up the ginger soup, drank it in a few gulps, and then ordered his subordinates to disband and rest on their own.
"Let's go inside." Xu Nan said lightly.
He Miao followed them for a few steps, and suddenly saw Liu Ying standing not far away.
Liu Ying was wearing a snow-white silver fox fur, wearing a leather hat for female officials on her head, a cyan and clean official uniform, delicate deerskin boots, and two locks of vermilion coral earrings hanging from her ears.
Could this be that Liu Ying? Why did she come too? He Miao raised her eyebrows in surprise: "This is?" ”
He Xiaoer said loudly: "This is Sister Liu Sibin Liu of Honglu Temple!" She's going to stay with you tonight! ”
Liu Ying smiled and saluted He Miao: "Captain He." ”
He Miao nodded at her kindly: "I'll let people lead you to my residence, just open your mouth if you need to, you're welcome." ”
Liu Ying looked at He Miao, then at Yuanzi, saluted silently, and followed the other soldiers away.
The rest of the people walked forward together, and He Miao stomped his feet as he walked, complaining: "The boots are broken, they are permeable, and they are cold to death!" ”
Xu Nan took off a leather bag from his waist and handed it over, and He Miao opened the stopper and poured it into his mouth.
After taking a big sip of wine, a thin layer of red appeared on his face, and then he put away the wine bag and returned it to Xu Nan: "This wine is not as good as last time." ”
Xu Nan couldn't have said more naturally: "Next time, let them not buy it here." ”
Yuanzi suddenly interjected: "I brought good wine this time, you can get drunk tonight." ”
He Miao laughed: "Definitely." ”
She scratched her hair suddenly: "No, no, I have to take a shower and change into clean clothes, I can't see anyone." ”
She ran away, leaving three men standing in the snow, each with their own thoughts.
