There was some movement in the forest, and by the time Su Xi arrived, it was as quiet as ever. Lowered his eyebrows to see the traces in the woods, there were some messy footprints. Unfortunately, it was washed away by the rain and became blurry, making it difficult to continue tracking.

The heavy rain was falling, and Su Xi's eyebrows were cold. Looking back at the camp behind him, there must be something wrong here. It's just that it's a matter of Jian Yan, or whether it's the eyes and ears of many others mixed in this army, it is unknown.

In a word, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

When Su Xi came back, Zhao Wuwu fell asleep groggily. Hui put some soothing things in the medicine, so Zhao Wuwu, who slept lightly, could sleep for a while, otherwise according to her suspicious nature, she wouldn't want to sleep well along the way.

The night was quiet, and before dawn the rain came to an end and the dawn of the morning dawned.

"What do you think?" Su Xi asked.

Zhao Wuwu's expression was sorrowful, his face was pale, "I'm used to it." ”

"The fever has subsided." Looking at Zhao Wuwu worriedly, he took the pulse pillow, "It's just that your body is not suitable to set off, you should not rest for a while, and it is not too late to leave when you get better." ”

"No need." Zhao Wuwu struggled to stand up.

After the high fever, the bones of the body are always extremely sore, as if they have undergone bone recasting. She sat on the edge of the bed with her hands on her left and right sides for a moment before she could recover.

"You don't want to die?" "With such a body, what can you do even if you reach the wilderness?" ”

"Before you appeared, I was like this, and I didn't know how to go to Jinling City and cure the plague in Pinglin City?" She sneered.

He was dumbfounded, he couldn't say anything about her, but he was still anxious.

As for people, caring is chaotic.

"I'm fine, it's much better than I used to be." Zhao Wuwu glanced at Su Xi, and Su Xi quickly took off his clothes.

Wen Gu reluctantly turned around and walked outside quickly, "Then I'll go and decoct the medicine and prepare it at any time, if you are not feeling well, just heat the medicine and drink it at any time." ”

Su Xi smiled, "He is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted." ”

"People who are often hard-mouthed and soft-hearted are the most fragile in their hearts." Zhao Wuwu stared in the direction where the old disappeared, "They long to be recognized, they want to be loved, and they want someone to understand." The strength on the outside is just to hide the fear and uneasiness in the heart, which is a sign of extreme lack of self-confidence. ”

Su Xi quickly changed clothes with Zhao Wuwu, "What Childe said, it seems that he knows the old story very well." ”

"I don't know about the past, I just think this is a father's mind." Zhao Wuwu whispered.

Su Xi was stunned for a moment, "What did Childe say?" ”

Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "It's nothing, was everything okay last night?" Nothing happened, did it? I slept a little deeply. ”

"Childe fell asleep last night, so he couldn't report it in time. It's not a big deal, after all, the lowly position has not found out the reason. Outside the woods, he found signs of people gathering, but the heavy rain washed away the traces. Su Xi reported truthfully and tied his belt for Zhao Wuwu, "Other than that, there is no major abnormality." ”

Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "You mean, we have always been in the sight of others?" In other words, someone follows us all the time. ”

"As long as it's not the evil obstacles of the Wuji Palace, the rest is easy to say." Su Xi twisted a handful of towels and handed them over.

Gently wiping his cheeks, Zhao Wuwu's heart was suffocated, no one has mentioned Wuji Palace for a long time, right? Since Zhao Song cleared the house, this Wuji Palace has completely evaporated from the world, and there is not even the slightest sign.

Zhao Wuwu frowned slightly, "Who knows?" Everything in the world is variable, and it is impossible to do everything. It's better to be cautious and prepared than to be caught off guard when the time comes. ”

Su Xi bowed his head, "I understand my humble duties." This matter will continue to be watched by the lowly position, but hopefully it will be an external force, not someone within us who will respond. ”

His eyes were slightly dark, and Zhao Wuwu was silent.

Today's weather is good, and after Zhao Wuwu's serious illness, his face is pale and gloomy. Still feeling cold, she stood in the sun and wrapped her shawl tightly. In the summer, the sun should be hot and sweaty as soon as the sun comes out, but for her, it is winter all year round.

The cold hands, the cold body, and even the blood in the veins were extremely cold.

"Are you okay?" Jian Yan stepped forward and looked at Zhao Wuwu, who was standing in the tuyere.

"As long as Master Jane doesn't make trouble, what was bad earlier will be fine in the future." Zhao Wuwu glanced at him meaningfully, turned around and got into the carriage, "Let's go!" ”

Jian Yan paused there, his body stiffening slightly.

Sure enough, all the fantasies are just his wishful thinking. Zhao Wuwu is no longer the original Zhao Wuwu, since he was delusional and almost took her for himself, there has been an irretrievable direction between them, and there is no return.

Taking a deep breath, Jian Yan turned over and got on his horse.

The convoy continued to move forward, and Su Xi gave Wen Gu a glance and cautiously retreated to the back of the team. The sharp eyes quickly looked around, and if those people were still following, they would definitely be aware of it.

If she doesn't find those people, then the problem is serious. This proves that those people have blended in with the army and are likely to be close to them. If so, the risk factor is immeasurable.

In fact, the problem is really serious.

In the front and back of the team, Su Xi had already ordered the shadow guards lurking in the army to observe carefully, and when it was time to rest at noon, the report was the same: no suspicious person was found!

Su Xi's heart was cold for most of the time, and she hurriedly went to find Zhao Wuwu.

Seeing Su Xi's face, Zhao Wuwu had already guessed the approximate one.

"Childe has to be mentally prepared." Su Xi lowered her voice and quickly looked around.

Check around with a sense of familiarity, and take the wind for the two, so as not to get close to the idlers.

"Already in the army?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Su Xi nodded, "The humble duty deliberately turned back to investigate, there are only traces left by us along the way, and the neighborhood is very clean." So it's pretty much certain that those people are all around us. It's hard to say whether it's friend or foe, but it's always a hidden danger. ”

Zhao Wuwu let out a long breath, "Is it friend or foe?" I'm afraid it's friend or foe. If they were really friends along the way, they should have appeared a long time ago, not sneaky. I believe that if Dongchang wants to help me, it will definitely not fail to say hello. Shen Yan is still credible. ”

"So, we're in danger." Su Xi pursed her lips.

Zhao Wuwu drank the water in the kettle, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his pale face, "Keep moving forward for the next moment, as long as they don't stop, they don't have much chance of succeeding." ”

Zhao Wuwu, who left the capital, was like a tiger falling in Pingyang and a dragon trapped in the shallows.

Su Xi bowed, "Yes!" ”

After that, it was a day and night rush.

Zhao Wuwu's body is not, so Wen stayed with her in the carriage to prevent her from sudden fainting or other symptoms. It was really unbearable, so the carriage would stop to rest, but the timing was extremely accurate.

She didn't want to give anyone a chance, so she could only go in the direction of Jinling without stopping. As long as they arrive in Jinling City, Mu Baili's people will definitely respond, and everything will be fine at that time.

Jian Yan followed the convoy and rode on horseback, and he had already seen that Zhao Wuwu was anxious. Presumably Zhao Wuwu discovered something, so he didn't stop. The marching team won't have much of a problem, and if it stops, something will happen.

Looking around the convoy, there are Jinyi guards and Chinese soldiers, which can be regarded as a mixture of dragons and snakes.

But what's the use of you walking fast? What should happen or will happen. It was as if there was a sudden loud bang, and the wheels broke. When the carriage overturned, Wen Su flew out of the carriage with Zhao Wuwu as soon as possible.

Zhao Wuwu's eyes were dark, and his body, which had already been exhausted, was almost paralyzed to the ground at this moment. Fortunately, he was quickly picked up by the old man, and he managed to stand still. Looking at the carriage that overturned on its side with a dying breath, Jinyiwei quickly stepped forward to defend it, surrounding Zhao Wuwu in a circle, and was on guard.

"Childe?" Frightened.

Zhao Wuwu shook his head, "I, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." ”

Wen quickly sat her on the stone beside her, it was already in the waning days, but such a thing happened, and it was estimated that it would be night when the carriage was repaired. It's not safe at night, especially in the middle of nowhere.

Because he was in a hurry, Zhao Wuwu copied the shortcut, so he didn't take the official road. Who knows, it's still a slight loss. The wheels were inspected before traveling, but the person who started them was extra careful, and only cut a little bit on the wheels.

It may seem like a small opening, but over time, it becomes a hidden danger.

The person who did it didn't know when the wheel would break, so he was waiting for an opportunity. This randomness is the root of all dangers. There is no certainty, and it is full of variables.

Zhao Wuwu looked at the broken wheel fixedly, there is no village in front of the village and no shop here, if the other party wants to do it, no one will know that they all die here. When the court investigates in Japan, there will only be a missing news.

Suddenly, Zhao Wuwu frowned in shock, and she stood up tremblingly.

This place...... The whole heart quickly picked up, and Zhao Wuwu stared straight ahead in disbelief, "Suxi!" Suxi! ”

She exhaled twice in a row, and Su Xi was so shocked that she was stunned, "Childe, what's wrong?" ”

"Is it in front, is it not...... The house? Zhao Wuwu trembled slightly.

Su Xi saw the corner of the eaves not far away, and was shocked to realize that he had arrived at this place again. Like a spell, this place is about to become the source of Zhao Wuwu's nightmare.

Even Wen was stunned for a long time, and he just found out, but he deliberately didn't mention it, so as not to worry about Zhao Wuwu's heart. But he didn't expect that Zhao Wuwu would recognize it.

In front of it is the uninhabited village, the deserted house.

Counting up, the fate of this house is really not shallow. Walking around all my life, walking around this house, like a strange circle, I can't get out.

"Childe?" Su Xi pursed her lips, "When the carriage is repaired, we can go." Childe doesn't like that place, let's go over this house and go further. Last time, we brought few people, so it was designed, and now that the Wuji Palace has been destroyed, Childe doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Zhao Wuwu knew that Su Xi was easing her heart, but she didn't know why, the last time she saw this house, she had an urge to escape. This time, however, she couldn't take a step.

The indescribable changes in her heart made her body tremble, and she really didn't know how to express her feelings.

Zhao Wuwu stood there fixedly, looking slightly sick.

Su Xi saw that something was wrong with Zhao Wuwu, and said busily, "If Gongzi feels uncomfortable, we can set up camp here, and we don't have to go over." When the carriage is repaired, let's continue walking. ”

"It's time to go and see it, too." Zhao Wuwu whispered.

She didn't know what kind of mentality she was, and she felt her whole heart tremble when she stood in front of that deserted mansion. Turning his head to look at the past, Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath, "Don't you think it's terrible?" Throughout his life, he has never been afraid of anything, but here ......"

"It's not that it's scary." Wen Gu walked in first, "I've cleaned up here roughly, let's stay here tonight!" ”

Su Xi was stunned, "Do you want to live here in the future?" ”

"When I'm done and retired, and my gray hair is in the twilight, I'll come back here to accompany her." Refresher's expression was a little gloomy, "Start where you start." In my life, I never want to be separated from her again. ”

Zhao Wuwu smiled bitterly twice, but didn't say anything.

Tonight, everyone was inhabited in the deserted house, and the guards surrounded the deserted house, and Zhao Wuwu stood in the courtyard, as if he was looking for something.

Su Xi was puzzled, "What is Childe doing?" Is there something wrong with this yard? Thinking of this, Su Xi was on guard and quickly looked around. In her eyes, Childe's thoughtfulness is more than everything.

Zhao Wuwu shook his head, "I'm looking for a pear tree." ”

"Pear tree?" Su Xi looked around, there were no pear trees around, there were many maple trees in the yard, and there were some stumps left by some trees that I don't know what they were, "There's no pear tree here!" ”

"No, there must be." Zhao Wuwu was very sure that the pear blossom tree that gradually became clear in his dream was in this courtyard. But she couldn't determine the direction, after all, it was a dream, and there was a certain amount of ambiguity.

"What's wrong?" ”

"Childe said there is a pear tree here." Su Xi looked at Wen Gu helplessly, "Look for yourself, where are the pear trees here?" It was a maple tree, and it seemed to be a peach stump. ”

Hearing this, Wen Gu glanced at Zhao Wuwu thoughtfully, and stepped forward to look for it without saying a word. The yard is huge, and you should be able to find it even if you look a little bit. The night was dark, and he carried a lantern and helped Zhao Wuwu find the pear tree in the yard.

Su Xi suddenly felt that the two were really very similar. is as stubborn as a cow, one or two hit the south wall and don't look back. You see, these two old and young people who are carrying lanterns looking for pear trees, the posture of bowing down to look for them, and the eyes in the glimmer of light, how similar.

"Is this the pear tree you are talking about?" He leaned over and squatted.

It's just a stump, and it's been broken for too long, and the stump has been dead for a long time. After the sun and rain, what is left now is only a dry section, which will be shattered at any time.

This stump is next to the rockery in the corner of the yard, and it is conceivable that if the pear blossoms are in full bloom, it is a very good choice to sit under this rockery and enjoy the flowers. It's a pity that the scenery is no longer what it used to be.

The rockery was covered with vines and moss, and the pear trees were broken.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuwu leaned over and squatted down, his fingertips gently caressing the stump, "It's a pear tree." "She has a pear orchard, and naturally knows better than anyone what a pear tree looks like.

"You're so good, why are you looking for a pear tree? How do you know there's a pear tree here? Wen Shu's voice trembled slightly.

Actually, he should have guessed, but he didn't give up, and still wanted to ask.

"The Murong in my dream has been guarding the pear orchard and standing under that pear tree." Zhao Wuwu's eyes were slightly gloomy, "She is so attached to this pear tree, there must be something here that she is reluctant to leave." ”

After speaking, Zhao Wuwu glanced at Su Xi, "Look carefully to see if there is anything nearby." ”

If you don't have it, it doesn't matter, you should think about it yourself, but it's a matter of heart. If there really is something here, maybe this is what Murong left behind.

He didn't ask any more questions, just rummaging around the stump of the pear tree, and he and Su Xi almost began to dig three feet into the ground.

Zhao Wuwu thought about it, slowly sat down by the stump, and closed his eyebrows slightly. She had to think about what she would have done if Murong was sitting here at the time and was seriously injured.

When a person is injured, his thoughts will become blurred and his brain will become unclear. At this time, the only thing a person can think of is what he can do.

What should you do if you want to leave a message to the living before you die, and you can't be noticed by anyone yet?

Zhao Wuwu's hand slowly touched the root of the stump, and she was stunned. The tips of his fingers seemed to touch something, and he was stunned, Zhao Wuwu got up quickly, "Suxi? ”

Hearing this, Su Xi hurriedly carried a lantern to shine.

Reminiscences was very careful and dug it down with all his attention. No one knows what is here, the only thing that is clear is that Murong can leave things here at the end of her life, which must be the top priority in her life.

"What is this?" Su Xi was puzzled.

The mud-covered thing was revealed, and it was clear that the outermost layer of cloth was visible. Because it has been buried in the soil for too long, when it is dug up, the cloth can no longer be formed, and it is in a crushed state.

It was wrapped in a bone hairpin and a piece of stone.

"This bone hairpin was put on by me on the day she got married, and she has never taken it off for so many years." Wen choked up, and his fingertips gently stroked the muddy bone hairpin, "The Wu people don't worship gold and silver, we love bone products." ”

"This hairpin is the first time I went hunting with my father that year, and I killed a leopard with a dagger, and I made a bone awl out of the leopard's bones. Later, when I met Murong, I made the bone awl into a bone hairpin, and on the day I got married, I handed it over to her like my own life. ”

This reminded Zhao Wuwu of the bone flute in his sleeve, this Tiran people like bones? No wonder this Mu Baili is also so strange, he gave her a bone flute. Fortunately, she is bold, and she is an ordinary woman, walking around with bones all day long, and she must not be scared to death?

"There seems to be writing engraved on this stone, and you have to wash it to see it clearly." Su Xi frowned.

This piece of stone was covered with dirt, and it was impossible to see what was carved on it, but when I touched it with my hand, I could feel some scratches.

"I'll go wash it!" Wen Su clenched the bone hairpin in his hand.

"It was Murong's thing, and it was yours." Zhao Wuwu got up.

Su Xi handed the stone back to Wen Gu, "I don't know what is written on it, is there a secret about the butterfly Gu?" ”

Zhao Wuwu didn't say anything, and he didn't answer, but the two of them had a tacit understanding.

Wen Gu took the things away, and Su Xi carried Zhao Wuwu back to the room.

"Childe is not afraid, when the time comes...... Su Xi paused, and looked back at Zhao Wuwu, who was sitting in front of the table in a daze. Childe's expression became more and more strange, especially after coming to this house. The last time I was panicked, this time I was full of thoughts.

Zhao Wuwu didn't seem to be listening to Su Xi's words, and his fingertips gently brushed the bone flute in his hand.

There was a voice outside, "Your Excellency, the Governor asks to see you." "Since there was a camp tent, Zhao Wuwu issued an order, no matter who it is, even if it is Jian Yan, if you want to get close to her, you must pass it on, and you can't let it go privately.

Coming back to his senses, Zhao Wuwu put away the bone flute, "I don't see!" ”

"Master Jane said, there is something important to report." Outside, the brocade guard road.

Zhao Wuwu glanced at Su Xi, "You go and see, I don't want to see anyone." With that, she walked straight to the bed.

Su Xi bowed his head and walked out quickly.

Outside the courtyard gate, Jian Yan stood there expressionlessly, and when he saw Su Xi come out, he already understood Zhao Wuwu's intentions. She didn't want to see him, even if he did everything for her, he couldn't get back the original love.

"Why bother with Lord Jane." Su Xi's face was warm, "Now you and my son-in-law only have official affairs, and there is no need for personal affairs, so I hope that Lord Jian can distinguish between public and private in the future." After all, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, don't mess with the rules. ”

Jian Yan glanced at Su Xi coldly, "I just want to remind her to be careful." Along the way, I noticed something strange. ”

Su Xi was stunned, "What's the strange thing?" ”

"Since it's the rules first, I hope that Miss Suxi can make a sound on her behalf, so it's said that the lower officials have noticed something, something about those tails behind us." Jian Yan leaned over.

Su Xi took a deep breath, it seemed that this Jian Yan had to see Zhao Wuwu, otherwise he would not give up.

But on the contrary, Zhao Wuwu really didn't want to see Jian Yan.

Looking at the empty courtyard, there is always an unconcealable gloomy and treacherous in the depths of the dense forest, and the sound of birds and insects in the ears should be extremely pleasant, but at the moment there is only anxiety.

"Wait!" Su Xi walked back.

Jian Yan waited in place, his eyes slightly cold.

Su Xi can't make up her mind, so let's wait for Zhao Wuwu to make his own choice!

"Nope!" Zhao Wuwu is still these two words.

"Childe doesn't want to hear about it?" Su Xi was puzzled.

Zhao Wuwu entered the bed, "If he really cares about me and is really good to me, he will not use this as a threat, but think about me everywhere and put me first everywhere." Suxi, you have also experienced this thing, what is to give and what is to take, don't you know? ”

"These are just his excuses, he wants to see me but he wants to use excuses to trick me, do you think I will meet him? Are you still playing these tricks in front of me, looking at me all these years for nothing? ”

Su Xi smiled, "What Childe said is extremely true, but he is also a little worried, if he really knows some ......"

"Then he's complicit." Zhao Wuwu lay on the bed and turned his back.

Su Xi frowned, "Childe? ”

"Whatever I say, you can reply to him. Don't worry about face, he is now a concubine, and he shouldn't have any thoughts. I can tolerate it to the point where it is today, and it is already the love of my childhood sweetheart in the past. If you are aggressive again, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings. This is Zhao Wuwu's thoughts.

She doesn't want to drag mud and water, and she won't be ambiguous. The answer she gave, although hurtful, has a clear conscience.

Su Xi bowed his head and retreated, and when he saw Jian Yan, he elaborated on Zhao Wuwu's original words in 1510.

Jian Yan's face still didn't have any expression, only a cold chill in those gloomy eyes. He didn't speak, listened to Su Xi's relay, and immediately turned to leave.

The darkness of the night makes the moonlight colder.

Walking in the dark corridor, Jian Yan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and there was no scene of admiring the moon and pear blossoms with candles. When he stopped his steps and stood with his hands in his hands, thousands of emotions came to his heart.

Why doesn't she understand this way?

Wasn't that wedding what she wanted? He did what she wanted, so why was she not satisfied?

I did what you hoped for, why did it make you change in the end? I made a mistake, but why didn't I even get a chance to mend my ways?

The five fingers in the sleeve were slightly curled into a fist, and they never let go.

Because he was born with no sense of security, Zhao Wuwu tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night. Even though Su Xi was guarding outside, Zhao Wuwu still felt that someone was staring at him in the dark.

Maybe it's just a psychological effect, but ...... Without Mu Baili by her side, she just didn't dare to sleep, let alone in this wilderness.

It was not only Zhao Wuwu who didn't dare to sleep, but Mu Baili, who was far away in the border camp, couldn't close his eyes. The moon at the border is extremely beautiful, slowly rising and setting on the horizon.

Lu Guoan frowned, "Master, you've been staring at the moon all night, if you're really not at ease, go and take a look!" Lord Zhao's health is not good, and he has suffered a lot of sins when he came to Jinling earlier, and this time he ......"

Suddenly, Lu Guoan shut up, our Chitose Master's face is getting more and more ugly, it is better to change the topic.

Thinking of this, Lu Guoan hurriedly said, "Now that our document has been submitted to the barren envoys, the handover between the two countries can only be carried out on a good day." Our great lord has come to this wild place, and we are already inferior, and now we have any initiative in the hands of the barren country, and we can only wait for the news. ”

"This side of the wilderness must be left to hang us for a while before letting us go. Anyway, it's all about waiting, so it's better to ......."

Before Lu Guoan could finish speaking, a certain wife and slave had already turned around.

"Master?" Lu Guoan shouted.

This speed is too fast, so I have to explain it, right? It is necessary to settle it properly, otherwise how can these soldiers of the three armies get this mess? Lu Guoan asked himself, he doesn't have such a great ability to hold military power, and he can handle such national affairs and border decisions.

But what about our master?

Well, this will have already ridden away from the secluded place of the camp, but fortunately, that area is full of people from Dongchang, so even if they know that Chitose Ye is leaving, no one dares to beak it.

Leaving Lu Guoan with a helpless face, how can he hold on to such a big stall? I'm anxious, look at the idea I gave, it's over! I hope this desolation is a slow man, if he is crazy, it is estimated that ......
