Chapter 37: Affection
This story is long. Xiao Yinmei's eyes were fascinated, his eyes seemed to be drunk, and he muttered: "It turned out that it wasn't my hallucination, it was all true." ”
Deng Yao looked at Xiao Yin with a smile, and gently patted the head of the lantern tiger in her hand: "You may have forgotten." In fact, the first time I saw you, it was not in the autumn of the fourteenth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty. ”
"When it was eleven years, in Qingwu Mountain?" Xiao Yin was moved, his hand trembled and grabbed his sachet, "At that time, I had a rash and was sick for a long time, I always thought it was a dream in my confusion, it turned out that it was all true!" ”
The rope of the sachet decorated with gold silk tassels was loosened, and Xiao Yin held the little jade tiger in his hand: "It's all true, it turns out that it has really been guarding me all along." Xiao Yin was very happy, facing the swaying and flickering lanterns of the river, she wanted to sing and laugh.
"In the eleventh year of Qianyuan, I did meet a little crying bag in Qingwu Mountain," Deng Yao laughed softly, "This jade tiger was given to me by my mother." She once said that only if I can be as brave as a tiger one day, can I have the ability to protect the people I care about. ”
Xiao Yin was a little surprised, was this jade tiger actually left by his mother? So how could he have been back then?
Deng Yao picked up the jade tiger in Xiao Yin's hand, and his fingers touched it lightly, and the warmth on his face was like a reunion of old friends. He ran his fingertips through the old velvet thread tied to the jade tiger and hung it around Xiao Yin's neck, just like it had done back then.
"That's right, Qingwu Mountain," Deng Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was also thinking about the green pines and cypresses of Qingwu Mountain, "The scenery of Qingwu Mountain is beautiful and elegant, and that day is indeed fresh in my memory." But that wasn't the first time I've seen Qilan's little master. ”
"When was that?" Xiao Yin turned his head and wondered.
Deng Yao just smiled: "It's okay at any time." The most important thing is that you accepted this jade tiger back then, even if the world changes, this tiger should always protect you. ”
The blue water is sparkling, and the lanterns flicker to the sky, gilding the originally gloomy sky with brilliant wisps of skylight. The tiger lanterns standing on the stone fence of the small bridge, and the faint lights covered by brocade, swaying, reflect the pair of beautiful people around them. In the colorful streamer, Xiao Yin looked at the jade tiger on his chest, the white jade was shining, like a ball of white moonlight on the tip of his heart.
At this moment, it will be a long time. She secretly wished.
……
After Deng Yao sent Xiao Yin back to the small courtyard of the camp in the east of the city, he stood outside the door until the lights under the porch in the courtyard were extinguished, and then he turned around and prepared to leave. It was already late, but I didn't expect to sit in the surrounding room in front of the hospital, and a person turned out. Thin eyes and long eyebrows, blue and white bamboo cloth robes, it is under the Huan Xiang Sect, Su Yan.
Su Yan bowed and said with a smile: "For several days, Su wanted to visit Brother Deng several times, but he was blocked back, and the deputy guard said that he was busy with important tasks. Only today did I know that Brother Deng's mind was not inferior to others in these elegant and romantic things. ”
Deng Yao returned the salute, but his words were quite cold: "The sergeant was rude and neglected Su Gongzi." However, Deng didn't know that Su Gongzi had something to do and needed to see a retainer like Deng. ”
"Hahaha," Su Yan raised his hand and laughed heartily, "Derivative is conceited, and the first point is that it is not good to look at people." Brother Deng has thousands of gullies in his heart, and Yan, who prides himself on being the one who can stand under Brother Deng's account and seek for Brother Deng. ”
Su Yan said it arrogantly, but Deng Yao's expression was flat, and he didn't seem to have a trace of reaction. His eagle eyes were cold, and he looked straight at Su Yan. Su Yan didn't dodge either. Outside the barracks in the east of the city, the blue and gray night, a little bit of skylight, cut out the figures of the two opposites.
After a long time, Deng Yao's expression finally eased and he laughed.
……
When he got up the morning of the second day, Xiao Yin had just finished freshening up when he heard a commotion in the yard. Cai Apple was holding the dust on the sandalwood box, listening to the noise, throwing away the dust, and said with a smile: "I want to go and see what is going on." ”
As soon as I entered the big courtyard outside, a number of large wooden boxes had been picked up in the middle, stacked and stacked. A little servant who slipped around, in and out, was busy. The old supervisor of Huan Mansion was standing among them, urging the horse herd to prepare the car and prepare the horse, and turned his head to see the apple coming out, and said with a smile: "The apple girl is out." I was about to tell the girl, but now that the situation has eased down, the lord will come back soon, and the city mansion is also ready. In the past two days, he was ready to move back to the house, and asked the lord to make preparations as well. ”
"That's right!" The apple picker rejoiced in his heart. Huan Youxiang is also returning to Luoyang from Chang'an, and it seems that the situation is too peaceful. After thanking the old supervisor, he ran back to the courtyard to report the good news.
Xiao Yin was sitting in the weeping flower gallery, holding a scroll of words and flipping through it. "Lord Weng," said Picker, who ran in cheerfully, "what a great good thing. ”
Xiao Yin was still turning the pages of the book in his hand, and his mouth was picking apples and said, "What's a good thing?" I guess the thieves broke up, the chaos was pacified, and everyone was ready to move back to the city Huan Mansion. Cai Ping pouted and said stupidly: "You are really boring now, you have guessed everything, and you still tell me to say something." ”
Xiao Yin closed the book at this time, looked up at Cai Apple's expression, but couldn't help but sneer, and was about to speak, when a laugh came from the hall leading to the outer courtyard, "What are you masters and servants guessing?" ”
The two looked at it, but it was Huan Shizhi.
The difficulties have been overcome, and everything is safe in Luoyang. Huan Shizhi felt that the burden on his shoulders for many days had finally eased temporarily, and he was relieved for a while, so he was ready to walk casually, but he didn't expect to walk to the small courtyard where Xiao Yin temporarily lived.
Since he got acquainted, Huan Shizhi seems to be a calm and dignified look, even if he is familiar with his brother and himself later, he will never joke. Today is special. Xiao Yin looked at the ease on his face, and was happy for him from the bottom of his heart, he deserved to be the son of the Luoyang Huan family after all, and he was not in chaos, and presided over Luoyang to survive this chaos.
"Hui Huan Gongzi, Lord Weng is guessing why everyone is busy in the courtyard outside." Picking apples saluted and smiled.
"Beidi, has it been repulsed?" Xiao Yin asked.
"It's Brother Mo Ruo, Zihuan is right, you are really transparent in everything," Huan Shizhi smiled and gathered his clothes, and sat down in the flower corridor, "The Murong family's trick to encircle Wei to save Zhao is indeed used beautifully, Hu Lu praises the limited resourcefulness, but he is not a fool, looking at this form, he would have already pulled out the camp and ran back to his hometown in Mobei." Zhang Lan is lonely, and when the team from Gyeonggi comes over and joins the eastern capital, the rebel party will be wiped out. ”
"I haven't figured it out, Zhang Lan is also the governor of a state, how could he so easily put the bet on a reckless man like Hu Lukua," Xiao Yin was puzzled, and held the roll in his hand into a cylinder.
"Maybe it's greed. Anyway, I got the news today that the Gyeonggi defenders had swept away several ambushes around Luoyang, and Zhang Ran was not at ease for a few days. ”
"Gyeonggi defenders, is it General Wei?" Xiao Yin asked when he heard this.
Huan Shizhi got up, but he smiled a little not embarrassed: "It's the defenders of Gyeonggi, but this time the boss is the Seventh Highness King Xinwang." ”
Faith King? Xiao Yin was very surprised at the moment, but it was clear when he thought about it. Zhang Lan is just a trapped beast, this is clearly a ready-made military feat. The king of letters, who had a clear moon and a clear breeze, was finally wrapped in.
Xiao Yin looked at the long and short weeping vines hanging from the flower gallery shelf, and was a little stunned. What comes to mind is the scene of the day when the knoll was encamped. In the bright moon, Liu Ke clings to the wine pot and sings: "Joy and sorrow come, and the light destroys the liver and heart......"
Sure enough, there has never been a lot of love in heaven, and the holy will is unpredictable.
