Chapter 172: Get a good night's sleep
"Daoshan and Sea of Fire, I only ask you, would you like to go with me?"
The morning light is faint, and the eyebrows and eyes are gilded with a light and serious luster in the light color. Fine dust fluttered freely in the warm sun, mixed with the gentle sound of the lake waves lapping on the shore from afar. There was a soft, hot sensation in the air.
Gu Mingxiu looked at Shen Huai in a daze.
Many years ago .... A long time ago, Gu Mingxiu seemed to have heard such words somewhere. But in her memory, Shen Yang never said this to her. She had never heard of it before today, but now that she heard it from the mouth of the person in front of her, she felt as if she had heard it before.
Young Son...... I don't know when he was already a young man, but Gu Mingxiu has always regarded him as when he was so young.
There was a hint of handsomeness and indifference in his eyebrows, and there was no superfluous emotion in his dark eyes, quiet and deep, deeper than the night, and a little more dangerous. He smiled and said nothing, casually and carelessly.
He sat down in front of her with one leg bent, and with great seriousness, he spread one hand out in the air for her to choose.
The step in his hand was clenched, and the notched palm ached. The girl in purple looked at Shen Huai a little dazedly, with a little retreat and hesitation in her eyes, as if she was swaying, as if she was at a loss.
The young man in Xuanyi didn't urge her, but there was still a determined and gentle light in his eyes.
Gu Mingxiu closed her eyes and paused, and when she opened her eyes and looked at Shen Huai, her eyebrows curled, and the corners of her lips had a soft smile: "Of course I dare." It's just a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I.... What wouldn't dare. She curled her lips and laughed softly, slowly put her hand into his palm under Shen Huai's gaze, and said softly, "As long as it's you.... I dare to go anywhere. ”
The purple-clothed girl's voice was slightly choked, and there was also a little confusion about the bleak future.
Patiently waiting for the other party to put his hand in his hand, hearing the other party's answer, the joking and naughty person who has always laughed slightly cursed his eyes, and smiled a little wanton and clear. Tenderness and love welled up in the eyes, and the dark eyes were like taking a glass of wine, and they were intoxicated at a glance, seductive and difficult to extricate themselves.
Shen Huai laughed very lightly, and Wen Sheng assured her: "Little Xiu'er, don't be afraid. I'm here, and no matter what happens, I'm still here. You can do what you want to do, and if you can't do it, I'll do it for you. ”
The young man's words were gentle and earnest, clear and unambiguous.
The girl in purple allowed him to wrap her hand with her palms together, and raised her other hand to gently cover the corner of her lips. There were still tears in the corners of his eyes, and Gu Mingxiu smiled with tears: "Okay, I'm not afraid." ”
"Don't be afraid, I'll go where you are." Shen Huai laughed lightly, leaned over slightly, and leaned his forehead against Gu Mingxiu's forehead. The extremely satisfied young man sighed slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied, "If I had known that you were worrying about this.... Why .....?"
He sighed, stopped talking, just shook his head, and said softly: "You don't need to worry about this, you just need... It's enough to stay by my side. Stretching out his other hand and landing on the cheek of the girl in purple, Shen Huai sighed lightly, "I've waited so long, where would I care about that." ”
"Hmm." Letting his forehead lean against his forehead, Gu Mingxiu smiled, "It's all up to you." ”
Raising his hand to take the girl in purple into his arms, Shen Huai smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "Then now, I want to take a good rest." He leaned back with Gu Mingxiu in his arms, and sighed as if he was complaining, "Tossing all night, I still have to pretend to sleep.... Let me sleep well, and as for the other things, I'll talk about it when I wake up. ”
There were a few traces of surprise and confusion in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile a little. Gu Mingxiu neither refuted nor questioned him, but obediently let him hold himself, adjusted his posture and closed his eyes with peace of mind as he lay in Shen Huai's arms.
What is there to worry about..... Since she is still alive, then everything will be resolved sometimes. As for now, Shen Huai is by her side, so other things will more or less let her be pushed aside for the time being.
"Why can't you find out about it-"
Trying his best to restrain himself from showing his anger in front of An Li, General An endured his irritability, raised his hand and held the hand open on the table behind him, looked at An Zhixing sternly, and said, "Xiu'er is missing, how did you find someone at that time?" Why didn't you tell me then, only now——!? ”
"Grandfather, don't be angry." Gu Liyi whispered, with a hint of grievance in her tone, "Sister Xiu.... We weren't at the time, we shouldn't have run around, if it weren't for us.... Sister embroidery won't be ....."
"It's my fault! If I hadn't dragged my little cousin around, Xiu'er wouldn't have disappeared! An Ting spoke before Gu Liyi finished speaking, her tone was full of annoyance, "Let me follow my brother to find Xiu'er!" Grandfather, I-"
"Alright, don't make a mess." General An raised his hand to block An Ting's words, rubbed his head and said, "The news of Xiu'er's disappearance can't be spread..... Ah, you go to King Xiao's Mansion again and ask if there is any news of King Xiao. You are secretly looking for people, and you will let others find out. ”
Looking at the silent An Li and the others, General An sighed: "Yiyi, you guys go out first, don't follow to make trouble.... Stay in the house. Ah Li, you stay. ”
Gu Liyi and the others didn't dare to say more, so they obediently followed out the door. An Ting was dissatisfied and worried, walking in front alone, Gu Liyi walked behind and looked at Mo Zhu who was following him, and reassured: "Don't worry, Sister Xiu won't have an accident....."
"Slave... Not very worried. Mo Zhu slowly shook his head, looked at An Ting in front of him, and then said softly, "Although the slave maid should not say this, but if His Royal Highness King Xiao is also missing now, it is a good thing to look at the slave maid." The slave maid thinks.... The girl that His Highness will definitely protect is thorough. ”
Speaking of King Xiao, Gu Liyi hesitated: "I think so too..."
"The slave is now more worried about the 'insider' in the yard." Mo Zhu sighed softly, "Girl....."
The news of Gu Mingxiu's disappearance did not spread, not even in the General's Mansion. It was too chaotic when I returned home that day, and not all the subordinates had the opportunity to observe the situation one by one. Gu Liyi and An Li went back to their yard directly, and Mo Zhu went back to Gu Mingxiu's yard and told them that Gu Mingxiu was resting in Gu Liyi's room, and he came back to inform them.
Before Gu Liyi went to the study today, Mo Zhu specially asked someone to find a doctor to come over, saying that Gu Mingxiu was unwell, so he continued to rest in Gu Liyi's room and it was inconvenient to go out...... It didn't cause any suspicion, after all, most of them were their own people.
But this doesn't mean that you can hide it for a long time, but you are more afraid of being suspected by Gu Changge......
Gu Liyi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's okay, those people don't dare to blatantly come to my yard to see if Sister Xiu is there, they should be able to hide it for a few days, besides... Besides, even if Gu Changge knows about it, I don't believe that she dared to come to the General's Mansion to find Sister Xiu, don't worry. ”
Mo Zhu sighed, and then bowed his head: "What Miss Liyi said is that I only hope that the girl is safe." ”
Gu Mingxiu's head was still a little groggy when she woke up, but she was the only one in the cave when she woke up. The bonfire had not yet burned out, and the dark cloak was still draped over her body, and her shadow was a little slender and thin by the bonfire. The girl in purple propped her forehead and stared at the bonfire, her eyes gradually clearing.
The sunset has not been four, and when Shen Huai returned, the tired birds were returning to their nests, and the branches and leaves were fluttering.
The capable His Royal Highness King Xiao probably went hunting, and he was very diligent in roasting the prey outside the cave, for fear of waking up Gu Mingxiu, all the preparations were solved outside, and when he came in, his body was clean, and the half of the pig's leg in his hand was still bubbling with a burst of fragrance.
A shadow suddenly hung over her head, waking up the girl in purple in thought. She paused, turned her head silently, and looked up at the people who had entered. The night wind was cold, and the figures were stretched and stuck to the stone walls of the cave, swaying fiercely with the jump of the campfire. The girl in purple raised her head, her dark eyes were calm and cold, and she stared at Shen Huai without any emotion.
This gaze ..... It's like I'm looking at someone I don't know.
His Royal Highness King Xiao, who still had a smile on his face, paused, put down the things in his hand with some unknown circumstances, and looked at her with slight eyes: "What?" You don't recognize this king after just a sleep, or do you say.... Xiao Xiu'er, are you going to pretend to be confused with this king again? ”
When he said the latter sentence, his tone sank slightly, and although there was a smile in his eyes, he was full of coldness, and even a little warning and danger. It seemed that as long as the girl in purple answered with certainty, he would be able to pull out a dagger and tear her on the spot.
Gu Mingxiu ignored Shen Huai, still looking at him very strangely, with a hint of indifference in his tone: "I have something to ask you, but you have to tell me truthfully." ”
"You say." Shen Huai sat lazily on the ground, casually pulled over a few lotus leaves he had found before, replied casually, then took out the dagger from his body, and cut small pieces of meat with the dagger attentively and casually, "You ask, I will naturally answer you, it's just Xiao Xiu'er, this king's patience is not very good, I don't want you to play this king again." ”
"When are you from.... Care about me. Gu Mingxiu paused, asked the word with some uncertainty, and then immediately added, "Don't fool me." We had never seen each other before I came back to Yangzhou, so you shouldn't have been because of that.... I care, so I put someone next to me to watch or... Protective. ”
Gu Mingxiu looked at him steadily, with a hint of confusion in her tone: "What was your idea at the beginning....." She paused, and her tone was light, "I put the agarwood beside me." ”
"Agarwood, originally your person."
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
