In the middle of the bedroom, the curtains are draped. On the agarwood table, a porcelain altar is carefully placed. On the low table below, there are delicate flower arrangements and mutton fat jade bottles, and two small plates wrapped in silk agate, holding some delicately arranged fresh fruits.

Xiao Yin knelt in front of the low table, his eyebrows seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist: "Sister, the rebellion has been quelled, and we can go south and go home immediately." ”

The news brought by Huan Shizhi made Xiao Yin faintly suspicious in his heart. Now that her sister is gone, Xiao Yin has a lot of things to worry about, but she can only choke on a cold porcelain altar and be silent.

That night in Luoyang, Deng Yao once said to her so sincerely, "never hide it", how could she not be moved. She made up her mind at that time that if he had any unspeakable troubles, she would never ask him to embarrass him.

She didn't expect that it would be so difficult to make up her mind. She wanted to believe Deng Yao, but she couldn't help but worry about Liu Chen, and ...... Liu Ke. Deng Yao's dark identity is like a bag of gunpowder buried in Xiao Yin's heart, and anything seems to have the possibility of exploding. She couldn't help but guess who controlled Deng Yao; Who does this big man want to deal with?

Sister, what should I do? Xiao Yin muttered to his sister.

There was a lot of noise outside, which seemed to be the jokes of the little girls. Xiao Yin walked outside, picked apples and went to the small kitchen to watch the dishes, so he caught the little girl under the corridor and asked.

"Don't you know, the master still doesn't know, it's the army of King Xin who has returned to the city after quelling the chaos. This time it should be all to West Street, everyone has to go to see the excitement! The corners of the little girl's eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.

When he returned to the city, Xiao Yin secretly thought in his heart, first happy, but then there were some meanings of a hundred turns. When he returned to his room, he hurriedly pulled up his loose hair, put on his coat, and ran out of the house, but walked through the corner gate on the west side. It is closer to West Street, and it can avoid dealing with the housekeeper and servant of the Huan family.

The little girl said a good point. It was through the west gate that the victorious army entered the city. At this moment, the flags were unfurled, and the soldiers and horses were neatly passing from the West Street, showing the great results to the people in the streets and alleys of Luoyang.

Xiao Yin was wearing plain clothes, standing among the people in front of the street teahouse, and saw Wang Shi coming from afar.

The king's flag fluttered, and the horse's hooves were proud. The people on the side of the road were cheering for the triumphant hero. Xiao Yin saw Liu Chen's lieutenant general, in a lightly armored robe, who was greeting the cheering pedestrians.

Also, Deng Yao sitting on a tall horse. His eyes are blazing and his posture is calm.

But when the team came closer, Xiao Yin didn't see Liu Chen.

A wooden cart passed by, and on it was a yellow wooden case, with the head of Zhang Lan on it. Several men were talking along the roadside. One said: "Thanks to General Deng's conspiracy, Zhang Lan was killed." The other answered: "Isn't it, but I heard that Zhang Lan has a son, but this time he couldn't catch him and told him to run away." ”

……

Most of the shops and wineries on both sides of West Street have long since reopened. Only the Drunken Immortal Residence is still empty. Xiao Yin remembered the story of fighting with Mr. Storyteller back then, and Mu Niang gave Liu Chen wine, and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. I was about to raise my feet to enter, but was stopped by a man with a sword, and said, "I'm sorry, this is no longer a wine shop now, and it's inconvenient for the girl to enter......"

"Let her in." The people inside spoke.

In the drunken immortal house, it is not much different from the day Mu Niang returned. It's just that the ashes on Huanghuali's table have been wiped away. The benches were also lowered from the table. But the room still seemed empty and dark.

Liu Chen sat alone at the small table against the grille barrier, pouring himself a drink. There were two small dishes on the table, but they didn't move.

Xiao Yin looked at Liu Chen, feeling a little sad in his heart, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Sure enough, you can always guess where I am," Liu Chen raised the carved silver wine jug he was holding, and smiled faintly at Xiao Yin, "Come, have a drink?" ”

Xiao Yin responded, sat opposite, and took the wine glass handed by Liu Chen.

"Before leaving, you asked me a question. I also asked myself, will I kill him," Liu Chen held the wine glass in his hand, swayed slightly, and swirled lightly, "Fortunately, God is really kind to me, I didn't meet him." In the midst of the chaos, he ran away. A wry smile appeared on the corner of Liu Chen's mouth.

"I've heard that." Xiao Yin felt a little sad for Liu Chen in his heart.

"Zhang Lan is dead, he ran away, Jiaozhou is stable, but in this world, there is no longer a drunken immortal residence." Liu Chen drank a glass of wine, and the smell of wine seemed to have turned into a fog in his eyes.

"Actually," Xiao Yin looked at Liu Chen, and couldn't help it after all, "Miss Mu's heart must have you." On that day, she was clearly ......"

Liu Chen smiled and waved his hand to stop Xiao Yin's words: "There is no need to say any more." It's okay to be like this now, it's better to see each other awkwardly, it's better to be okay with each other, and forget each other in the rivers and lakes since then. Liu Chen raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

Sure enough, it is the king of faith who is free and easy. Xiao Yin couldn't help but admire.

"What about you, are you really going to go south?" Liu Chen asked.

Xiao Yin just nodded.

"Not coming back?" Liu Chen's old words were brought up again, but they were different from the hesitation in the military tent that day, as if something had made him make up his mind, "I don't like to care about other people's affairs in my life, but this time is different." Chang'an, there is someone who has been thinking about you. And I think, Brother Huang, he is also one of the few people in the world who is worthy of your Qinghe Lord Weng's life. ”

What the? Xiao Yin was suddenly startled. Liu Ke......

"Haven't you ever felt it? Since you came to Chang'an in 14 years, he can be said to be attentive to everything, and even the begonia flowers sent over are the best ones to bloom in person. He has his helplessness about the matter of the imperial sister-in-law, but he would rather be misunderstood by you than afraid that you will be implicated and hurt. You've always been wise, and I don't believe you haven't felt it. Unless," Liu Chen paused slightly, "you really have someone else in your heart." ”

Xiao Yin's face turned pale, looking at Liu Chen, but he opened his mouth but was speechless.

Liu Chen smiled: "I really guessed it." ”

Liu Chen still wanted to say something, but Xiao Yin's face was already hot, and he was red and white for a while. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of Faith poured a full cup, but his words changed: "You have probably heard that I am also missing a piece of my low-hanging fruit this time." Zhang Lan's head was not taken by me. Those people must be discussing, this time the subordinate of the East Palace, Deng Duhu, must be guilty of King Xin, right? ”

I don't know how many rounds of wine, Liu Chen seems to have a bit of a smoked look, he held the wine glass and stood up: "That's because they don't know, I don't care about these military exploits and these glories." It's a pity that they chose the wrong master and made the wrong bet. I will never fight with the imperial brother in this life. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned down again, put the wine glass on the table, and the wine almost spilled: "So, for Deng Yao, I don't have a selfish grudge against myself." But this person has eagle eyes and deep thoughts, and he shouldn't be the person in your heart. ”

Liu Chen looked at Xiao Yin for a long time and smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, the person in your heart is him." ”
