Chapter 189: Far Away

Chapter 189 Looking at each other from afar

Shen Muqing and Shi Jingshu climbed a short distance, already panting.

Shi Jingshu held Jasmine's shoulder and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "How long are you going to go?" ”

Shen Muqing looked around, and then pointed to the oblique path on the side: "Do you see that stone over there, just stand there - coming from the post road, you should be able to see it as soon as you look up." ”

Shi Jingshu took a big breath and said, "Don't look at Mei to quench your thirst, you just said that you were standing next to that tree, but when you stood next to the tree, you said you couldn't see it...... I can't walk, whether you can see it or not, I'm not leaving. ”

Yingfen and several maids couldn't help laughing.

"Miss Shi," Mingxia covered her mouth, "Thank you for accompanying our aunt and grandmother on this trip." ”

Shi Jingshu couldn't help but sneer: "You ghost girls, all of you are as fine as rabbits, and you know how to deal with it when you are a little troubled." I don't know how your aunt and grandmother taught you - if you say that, if your aunt and grandmother think that the place is not good, I will have to walk if I can't walk! ”

Shen Muqing couldn't help blushing.

It seems that her personal maid knows her feelings......

Fortunately, several nursing homes followed from a distance, and Shi Jingshu only had jasmine and bauhinia close to her.

A few people stood still by the stone, and Mingxia came from . Out of the red felt bag that she was holding, she took out something like a kaleidoscope.

Shi Jingshu is also from a family, looking at that. The thing was startled: "Where did you get the 'clairvoyance'?" ”

The so-called 'clairvoyance' is a simple telescope in ancient times.

Shen Muqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let Jinxiu help me borrow it from Mr. Min!" ”

"Didn't Mr. Min know?" Shi Jingshu was stunned when she listened.

Shen Muqing nodded.

"So, did he say anything?"

Shen Muqing was silent.

Seeing that the two of them were talking intimate words, Ying Fan hurriedly made a gesture to Jasmine, and several people also retreated far away.

Shen Muqing said: "Just worried about me?" ”

Shi Jingshu looked at the people lying in the snow under the mountain like black ants. head, sighed.

In mid-November, the emperor once asked Datong to be in trouble with banditry. With the use of soldiers, somehow later, the matter of the Datong bandits was silently not mentioned. A few days later, the Emperor Taishang appeared in Hamiwei under Zeng Ju...... Later, when Chang Hui came back, Jingshu heard him and knew that Wang Qing had not told Jinshang the specific return time, and Jinshang sent his henchman Lin Yong, who was also the uncle of the country, to Datong to intercept the emperor. Wang Qing had already anticipated the danger of the return trip, and after discussing with Xiao Sa, he sent Chang Hui to Zeng Ju for help, and returned to Kyoto from Hamiwei. Zeng Ju not only readily agreed, but also personally greeted the royal driver in Hamiwei. Only then can the Emperor Taishang return to Wanping without danger.

Now look at Yingyu. The emperor's meaning is self-evident, how can Shi Jingshu not worry about Xiao Sa's future?

Shen Muqing didn't worry about these problems at the moment. She held up her clairvoyance and was looking intently down the mountain.

At this time, the thousand-hour eye naturally cannot be compared with modern telescopes, not to mention that the clairvoyance in Shen Muqing's hand is still made by Mr. Min in his spare time. Even the color of the clothes of the people under the mountain is blurry, not to mention the appearance.

Shen Muqing looked at the official who read the holy decree and chattered there for a long time before slowly putting away the holy decree and waving it towards the east, and said a few words.

It's finally over.

Shen Muqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she saw two people kneeling next to the Emperor stand up and help the Emperor up. These two people are tall and short, although Shen Muqing can't see his face clearly, his intuition thinks that the tall one is Xiao Sa.

She couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

Shi Jingshu on the side was startled when she saw Shen Muqing's actions, and she was busy holding her last time: "Since the eldest lady knows that you have gone up the mountain, she will definitely tell Xiao Sa, so don't make trouble." ”

Shen Muqing turned around and smiled at Shi Jingshu as he listened.

But Shi Jingshu's words also reminded her, she raised her clairvoyance to look at the place where the eldest lady was staying, and saw the eldest lady looking frequently in the direction where she was standing.

Shen Muqing put his mind at ease.

She handed the clairvoyance to Shi Jingshu: "Do you want to take a look?" ”

"What's there to see!" Shi Jingshu knew that Shen Muqing was anxious to see Xiao Sa, and it was just polite to give her clairvoyance, so she excused herself, "It's not like I haven't played with this thing." It's just the difference between sesame seeds and watermelon seeds – you might as well keep it for yourself! After saying that, I couldn't help but smile with my sleeves covered.

"What sesame seeds and watermelon seeds!" Shen Muqing didn't follow, "I can see it much more clearly than on the mountain." ”

Shi Jingshu knew that the stone in Shen Muqing's heart had finally moved away when Xiao Sa came back, but after this moment, Xiao Sa's whereabouts would become another stone in Shen Muqing's heart - even more happy when he had fun. She joked to Shen Muqing: "Yes, I'm not like someone, I can tell who is who by casual actions?" I, it's better to stand here and watch you, lest you roll down the mountain and fall in front of Xiao Sa's heels, the Yuanmeng people didn't scare him, but you scared him so much that he couldn't possess his body. ”

"Sister Jingshu......" Shen Muqingjiao pulled Shi Jingshu's sleeves with disgust.

Shi Jingshu smiled and couldn't straighten up.

The two of them quarreled for a while, and then they saw the crowd at the bottom of the mountain begin to move slowly.

Shen Muqing hurriedly took a clairvoyant look.

Two people, one tall and one short, helped the Emperor Taishang to walk in front, followed by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, followed by the people who followed the Emperor Taishang back to Kyoto, and Wang Qing should also be included. At the back was a group of guards.

The crowd slowly walked towards the place where they parked the carriage, only to see an eight- or nine-year-old boy standing behind Xiao Zhao running quickly in front of the Emperor Taishang, and then the Emperor Taishang's steps paused, helping the tall man of the Emperor Taishang to look around and look towards the place where Shen Muqing had landed.

Sure enough, it's Xiao Sa?

Did he come looking for me?

Shen Muqing couldn't help but burst into tears, blurring his vision.

She couldn't help muttering, "He's looking at me!" ”

Shi Jingshu was sad when she heard it, but she laughed and teased her: "Now you should rest assured!" Come down the mountain with me, be careful that you won't be able to return to the city later. ”

Shen Muqing wiped his eyes with his sleeve, but he was reluctant to leave: "Let's take a look!" ”

Shi Jingshu snuggled on her, watched the team that had stopped and slowly walked forward.

In the distance, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves in the west, and in a few moments it became a rumbling soundβ€”hundreds of officers in flying fish suits as brilliant as clouds galloped towards us. The procession stopped, and the carriages passing by the post road leaned against the side of the post road, looking in alarm.

Shen Muqing couldn't help but turn pale: "Sister Jingshu, it's Feiyuwei." ”

Shi Jingshu was also startled when she heard this, and she snatched the clairvoyance in Shen Muqing's hand: "Don't send the Praetorian Guards, send the Flying Fish Guard...... Her face was also as pale as paper.

"Let's go back to Kyoto quickly," Shen Muqing immediately said decisively, "Feiyuwei is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and the cabinet may not know their actions, so we have to tell the lord the news as soon as possible, and see if we can say that Wang Shengyun Pavilion will let the imperial history come forward to impeach......"

"That's right," Shi Jingshu also calmed down, "If it's the intention of the cabinet, then it should be the transfer of the Praetorian Guard...... Let's go back to Kyoto. ”

The two of them ran down with their skirts in their hands.

******

When Shen Muqing went down the mountain, the people of the Flying Fish Guard had already surrounded the people who welcomed the royal driver, and they were caught off guard, and Shen Muqing saw Xiao Sa standing beside the Emperor.

She froze in place.

gloomy eyes, but as sharp as a knife, tight thin lips with indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away, high raised cheekbones, empty coarse cloth clothes hanging on his body, like a destitute man...... Where there is still a little bit of the smell of sunshine boys.

Shen Muqing couldn't help covering his mouth.

She was afraid that she would scream, and she was even more afraid that she would cry.

Shi Jingshu, who was following Shen Muqing, immediately noticed Shen Muqing's strange appearance, she stepped forward to help Shen Muqing, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" While looking at Shen Muqing's gaze.

A man wearing a three-rank crimson official uniform was negotiating in a low voice with the leader of the Flying Fish Guard, while the person surrounded by the Flying Fish Guard stood quietly in place, waiting for the outcome of the negotiation between the two.

The tall man who was holding the Emperor suddenly turned his head to look at themβ€”a little joy slowly appeared in his eyes like an ancient well in the waves, like a sunset shining on the surface of the lake, glowing with golden light, and there was a kind of calm warmth, which made his face gradually soften.

Shi Jingshu was stunned for a moment.

Could this tall and handsome man be the Xiao Sa that Shen Muqing never forgot in his heart?

People who can still show a warm smile after going through the ordeal should not feel self-pity, right? You won't blame Shen Muqing for making his own decisions, right?

The thought flashed, and Shi Jingshu had already turned Shen Muqing: "The tall man who is supporting the emperor is Xiao Sa?" ”

Shen Muqing nodded with teary eyes.

"He's looking at us?" Shi Jingshu smiled, "Don't lose your temper! ”

Shen Muqing laughed.

He smiled with tears in the corners of his eyes.

She saw Xiao Sa winking at her.

Just like when the old man was imprisoned, he pretended to be a partner and followed her to the Shen family's tent to see her, smiling, winking at her and smiling narrowly.

Shen Muqing's tears fell suddenly.

He had just experienced a hurdle of life and death, but he still showed her a smile like the sun breaking through the haze, illuminating her heavy heart and bringing a little warmth.

She suddenly understood why she liked to meet Xiao Sa.

Because in front of Xiao Sa, whether she is the daughter of Shoufu or the little maid of the Shen family, whether she uses him or misleads him, she is her, not blocked by the world, he will always find an excuse for her to forgive after being angry, and he will show her an affectionate smile - no matter what the situation, no matter when it is...... Even when he himself felt pain.

In an instant, Shen Muqing's heart became as soft as a puddle of water.

Her eyes felt an astringent bitterness.

Shen Muqing whispered to Xiao Sa: "I'll save you!" ”

From afar, Xiao Sa showed a faint smile and nodded solemnly in her direction, as if he understood what she was saying.

Shen Muqing laughed.

He smiled as brightly as the bright sun of May.
