The fire in July is known to be cold.

On the hill to the north of Anding City, a large maple forest is even more red like blood under the blue-gray sky. The autumn wind blew, and the blood-stained maple leaves fell into Anding City, and fell on the eaves of which house.

Xi Yan looked at the red maples all over the mountains, and remembered the maple forest outside Chongdu City in the past, surrounding his villa.

Today is the day to go up the mountain to pray for blessings, Xi Yan never believes in gods and Buddhas, but as the lord of one party, he has to pray to the gods for a good harvest this autumn and a year of health according to the previous rules and etiquette, but Xi Yan is still simple, only bringing a few guards, with his family, saying that it is to pray for blessings, but it is more like a trip.

You can smell the smell of incense in the mountain temple from afar, and the group is wearing private clothes, which is not only to observe the people's feelings, but also to play in the mountains and rivers. Xi Yan lightly held An Ruofei's arm, allowing her to walk more steadily on the bluestone steps.

The stone road gradually widens, and the temple gate of Huiyin Temple has appeared in the eye.

An Ruofei looked at the slightly depressed temple gate of this ancient temple and asked, "Huiyin Temple...... But what does karma mean? ”

Xi Yan stared ahead, and said lightly: "Huiyin Temple is also a century-old temple, although it is far away in the mountains and forests, it is a year-round incense, and the abbot Master Chen's vegetarian food is also a must." ”

There were some businessmen selling red threads of incense sachets next to the temple gate, Xi Yan asked the guards to untie a few copper plates and turn them into a red silk, but they did not enter the temple, but left all the guards and took An Ruofei to a piece of Lan Ruozhong behind the temple.

There is an ancient tree growing in the forest, and the closer you get to it, the more red silk hangs from other trees around it.

An Ruofei looked at him with a light smile: "It turns out that you are willing to come to Huiyin Temple today, not to pray for blessings, but for this." ”

Xi Yan threw the arm holding the red silk hard, and the ribbon flew away, and the whiskers hung on the highest branch in a moment, flying and dancing with the wind.

"When I came here alone, I thought that one day I would do it with my sweetheart, but I didn't want it to come true today."

"You've been here before?"

An Ruofei looked at him curiously, she didn't know that Xi Yan still had such idleness to come to this temple alone.

"Well......" Xi Yan said slowly, "When I came to Lingjiang alone in the year of the crown, I was confined to my state of mind, and when it was serious, I was ...... I couldn't sleep all night. I wanted to go to the temple to find Master Chen's explanation, but that day coincided with the closure of the temple, so I came here. Strange to say, once I got here, I didn't bother anymore. ”

An Ruofei chuckled even more: "This is a place where the red dust is hustle and bustle, but you can eliminate your worries here." But it's also ...... Troubles are originally brought from the red dust, and naturally only the red dust can dissolve it. ”

"You can see it so thoroughly," Xi Yan looked at her lovingly, "I brought you here, not only because I wanted this wish I had, but also because I wanted to tell you that I feel very safe with you...... I have lost this kind of Anlan before, and because I have felt the loss, I understand what is the most important thing to hold on to now. ”

An Ruofei was stunned, they have been married for almost a year, but Xi Yan often shows a fear of loss, in this relationship, it is himself who should be afraid of losing, because once he loses him, he really has nothing...... And he has no himself, at least he still has his country and his people.

An Ruofei lowered his head slightly, his eyes flowed, and he said softly: "Although I have not lost, but I have fallen into the abyss, I understand this kind of An Lan you said better than you, and I don't want to lose it." ”

Hearing her say this, Xi Yan was finally relieved.

He stared at the red silk with satisfaction for a long time, then took her hand and left the way he came.

Lin Feng suddenly made a big move, destroying this piece of Lanruo next to the ancient temple, the brittle branches on the ancient trees were also broken a lot, and more or bright, or whitened red silk fell into the dust, I don't know if there is the one that Xi Yan just hung up?

A group of guards were waiting in front of the temple, watching Xi Yan come out of the forest with An Ruofei, everyone felt a smile like a spring breeze on his face, although he was also smiling peacefully before, but it was only on the surface, this time, it was really from the bottom of his eyes.

According to the rules of drawing lots, worshiping the Buddha, the whole prayer process was boring, Xi Yan unexpectedly drew a lot, everyone congratulated him, and he just smiled faintly, neither noncommittal, nor did he make waves in his heart.

Sending away a group of guards, Xi Yan took An Ruofei to sit in a clean room, where the new tea was boiling and the doors and windows were closed, and a faint sandalwood fragrance lingered.

"For some reason, you always seem worried?"

Xi Yan pinched the bridge of his nose between his eyes, and exhaled again: "This year's mountains and rivers are not very peaceful, and there has been no rain since the north of the water enters the summer. Qi An is still using troops against Situ He, but the grain and grass of the army are transported, and it is almost unsustainable. ”

An Ruofei's face gradually solidified, there was no food and grass, she knew what it meant to the battle situation, but it was Qi An's battlefield, Xi Yan ...... Why are you so worried?

"Are you worried about Qi Gongzi?"

Xi Yan shook his head and said, "I'm just annoying...... Guilty of guilt. ”

An Ruofei instantly understood, and his face turned pale.

There is no harvest in the world this year, only Lingjiang is still harvesting...... The Qi clan and the Situ clan have been using troops for many years, and the silver money has long been difficult to turnover, where is the silver two to come to Lingjiang to purchase grain and grass again? The most cost-effective way is to fight with war!

If it's just the Situ clan, but if the Qi clan also comes, with the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Southwest Army and the Fei Army, plus the two natural dangers of Daqingguan and Qujiang, can they stop their nearly one million troops outside Qunqu Mountain?

"What are you going to do?"

After a moment, the man's firm voice came: "Prepare for war!" ”

An Ruofei completely expected him to do this, but she was still in a trance for a moment, thinking that she could settle down, but why did the clouds of war linger over them for a long time?

"Is there enough horses?"

"It's enough for the Fei Fei Army to equip four horses for one person."

"Where's the medicine?"

When it came to the wound medicine, Xi Yan suddenly smiled: "After the siege was relieved last year, Zhao Hengyu, the owner of Hanshui Villa, sent someone to send a lot of good medicine, and the medicine he prepared had a miraculous effect on external injuries. ”

"Why do you want to go in person?" An Ruofei was puzzled, "You have a lot of things, isn't it enough to send people?" ”

Xi Yan stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, and said: "Not only me, but you also go, there are many doctors in Hanshui Villa who are good at the science of daughters, find someone to help you see, when will I have my child?" ”

An Ruofei's face suddenly turned as red as dyed Mingxia, at this time, it had been more than a year since their first sexual intercourse, but there was no movement in his abdomen, although he had also taken medicine to recuperate, but it was still ineffective.

Hearing Xi Yan say this, An Ruofei also faintly looked forward to the trip to Hanshui Villa, but he had a wish for himself as soon as possible.
