Chapter 178: Desert (I)

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

Compared with the Chang'an twilight, the 'color' will be temporarily extra noisy and lively, the dusk on the desert is particularly peaceful, and even the iron armor covered with a layer of blood 'color' in the sunset has softened the crisp sound of each other. Such tranquility and serenity, after a long time, pervades vastness and desolation.

However, the small lake with a radius of one mile is placed near the south of the Yangtze River or Chang'an, which is surrounded by eight rivers, and no one takes a look at it even if it passes by. In this desert, an oasis of life has been derived, embellishing the vast desolation of the desert with vitality.

Compared to the mission and the accompanying soldiers, this oasis is too small, but this small lake called Jasper Lake is not big, but it is extremely deep, and a group of people have taken the water needed for the next trip, and the lake is so low that there are frightened swimming fish jumping back and forth, and there is no way to see how the water is 'color'.

Shi Weining, who was standing on the shore, became interested, leaned over and picked up a few knuckle-sized pebbles from the ground, and with a flick of his 'jade' finger, several large swimming fish near him were stunned and floated to the surface.

"Xinlie, you're amazing!" Chun Yu Sangye, who has been following her since Chang'an, trying his best to please his sweetheart, lit up his eyes, and immediately spared no effort to praise loudly, and even ignored the fatigue of rushing all day today, he personally rolled up his sleeves to pick up the fish that was knocked unconscious, "Since I entered the desert of this Laoshizi, I have eaten either dried meat or Hu cakes all day long, and I can be regarded as having fish to eat today!" ”

"You should call me Sister Shi." Shi Weining originally planned to catch fish by himself, but when he saw him make a move, he didn't stop him, but said in a light tone, "And you are one of the deputy envoys, this will, the Marquis of Yongcheng expected to invite the two deputy envoys of Yanchang County and Yirong Marquis to discuss the itinerary, but you came to me, it is really inappropriate." ”

Chun Yu Sangye is the person who is the one who is with Shi Caifeng and Ning Shaobi and is called the three tyrants of Chang'an, and he is very cheeky, and he said without blushing at all when he heard the words: "My deputy envoy is just a saint who reads the queen mother and gives me a share of credit." Doesn't Xinlie know yet? With my ability and qualifications, whether it is persuasion or tomorrow's trip, where can I 'interject'? It was the Marquis of Yongcheng who read Ning Jiuken and listened to me...... I don't know what to do? If you don't want to come, to be honest, I really don't want to run this time, how long will it be closed when I get out of the 'jade' and 'door'? I would rather not have this merit, but at this moment I am enjoying the mountain breeze and a full cup of cold drinks in Cuiwei Mountain. Anyway, now it is Ning Jiu's father, even if he is not biased towards me, he can't grieve me, and I can't help, and it will take Chen Guang to go to him, but it will involve him and me to greet me. It's best to accompany you. ”

He is the son of the descendant of the descendants, the Daming Palace is in and out at will, the characters in Chang'an City who ride horses and lean on the slanted bridge, and are full of red sleeves, when have they ever suffered such a thousand miles of trekking? These days, I am really full of emotion, and I have long regarded Shi Weining as my future wife, and the sincere words of this complaint have been said unconsciously.

Shi Weining put his hands on his back, stared at the remnants of the western sky that was about to disappear, and said indifferently: "This time I am the one who embarrasses you." ”

Chun Yu Sangye's face changed, and then he realized his stupidity, and hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, I said the wrong thing - in fact, ......"

"I'm not angry." Shi Weining retracted his gaze, but shook his head, and said calmly, "You are not the only one who is unwilling to come to the Western Regions, for example, my family Wulang, who is also unwilling to come knowing that there is merit here, after all, you were born rich and noble, and you don't care about it a little more, this ......."

Chun Yu Sangye hurriedly interrupted her words and said, "I really said it wrong, in fact, I didn't really want to be so unmotivated!" He wanted to talk about what he was good at, but after thinking about it carefully, apart from martial arts, it seemed that he didn't have anything to do? But when it comes to martial arts, he is not sure that he will be able to fight outdated; When it comes to his achievements after learning martial arts, he either helped Shi Wu beat his rival in love, or helped Ning Jiu suppress his opponent...... Or 'sex' is to look at people unpleasantly......

All in all, the three tyrants of Chang'an, except for Ning Shaobi, who has a name that can be shown off at the age of eleven, Chun Yu Sangye and Shi Caifeng do not have anything to praise......

Well, the appearance of the three tyrants is not bad, in the end, Da Liang pays attention to grooming and demeanor, and with the unspeakable evil things that the three of them have done, they only fell to the three tyrants and did not get a more dirty and vicious evaluation...... It has a lot to do with this.

If you only look at a little bit of posture like Shi Caifeng, the small family jade and everyone is beautiful, the 'daughter' in the boudoir and the married 'woman' are both important, and you like the new and hate the old and turn your face ruthlessly, in addition to your appearance, you can rely on your family background, money and eloquence, even if you are discredited, you can still be like a fish in water in Fengyue Field or the young and naïve famous 'family' ladies;

But Shi Weining is different from these ladies, she is the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Huarong, the eldest grandson of the prime minister Shi Huan, the eldest grandson of the prime minister, the noble status, not worried about money, and is used to seeing the romantic characters of Chang'an - if you want to talk about manners, her cousin Shi Yafeng thinks that he is second, this Chang'an, who dares to call it the first?

Family background, money, appearance, demeanor...... Even talent is nothing to Shi Weining, her grandfather Shi Wei is not only a famous minister of this dynasty, but also a champion of the previous dynasty, and her cousin Shi Yafeng is on the top of the high school list, so scholarly 'door', so extravagant, you can easily embark on a road full of 'flowers' as soon as you are born.

But Shi Weining chose to practice martial arts for more than ten years, and tirelessly pursued an opportunity to gallop on the battlefield like Mulan in ancient times and medieval 'women'. In a great coolness in the praise of the prosperity of the peace, even men rarely pursue it like this now, let alone a 'woman'?

Over the years, Shi Weining has heard ridicule, sarcasm, persuasion, scolding, and scolding...... There are too many obstacles and pleas. Even Queen Chunyu was entrusted by the eldest princess of Huarong to persuade her. But Shi Weining still withstood the pressure of the queen.

The former princess Changle asked Shi Weining to leave the cabinet for the marriage of her 'daughter' Su Yuyan and Shi Yafeng, and after being refused, she also tried her best to achieve this goal.

…… However, Shi Weining is still alone, standing leisurely on this oasis, eating and sleeping in the 'open' trek, and no matter how much he pays attention to the demeanor, he is no longer neat when he set off. For the convenience of movement, she was full of black hair neatly tied behind her head with brocade, without any hairpin rings, wearing a tight-fitting Hu suit, because the desert was hot during the day and cold at night.

After the glow submerged into the sky, the night sky soon lit up with dense stars, and the jade lake reflected the starlight, illuminating the silhouette of the people by the lake, at least in Chang'an, Chun Yu Sangye had never seen a lady standing more straight and 'straight' than Shi Weining.

The little seven niangs of the Zhuo family, who grew up together since childhood, are like a tired peony 'flower' when standing at the water's edge, the country's 'color' is fragrant, but it can't make people think of 'straight' up; Chun Yu Sangye's sisters, Chun Yu Sang Ruo and Chun Yu Sang Yu are pretty red and white lotus 'flowers', and Chun Yu Chun Yu Pei, who has always been against Shi Weining, is a 'glamorous' beautiful thorny rose.

These ladies are not bad or not 'colorful', but they all carry the brand of Chang'an in their bones - luxurious, beautiful, and complement the rich and prosperous Chang'an.

Only Shi Weining was different, she stood there, although she was obviously beautiful and gentle, but no one would think of 'flowers' because of her—because she instinctively thought that all 'flowers', no matter what the stems, were always delicate.

The word delicate is difficult to put on Shi Weining.

In Chun Yu Sangye's view, the person he admires is more like a tree, in front of the court, although praised by the people in the past, but they don't care, if she can choose, she is more willing to grow in the uninhabited mountains, silent and tenacious growth, perseverance, pursuit, in the precipitation of the years, in the accumulation of time, to pursue their own direction.

Not like the delicate garden 'flower', need 'fine' care and care, in order to bloom a luxurious and elegant light, the style of the time is not resting, it is not in harmony with the prosperous and rich, graceful and luxurious Chang'an, she is in the wilderness on the desert, experienced the wind and sand grinding, more and more rugged, eye-catching.

Originally, when he came out of Chang'an City, he thought of the face of Shi Huan and others before agreeing to Shi Weining's companions, not saying anything, but in their hearts they really didn't like to persuade a famous general of the former dynasty who had rebelled for decades and was far away in the Western Regions, but a 'woman' was sandwiched in such a solemn and important matter, but these days, the lady who was considered by everyone to be pampered but had a completely unrealistic plan to give up not only did not have the slightest intention of giving up halfway, but even adapted to the fatigue and hardship of the journey at a speed that even the people of the Shi family were shocked and unspeakable.

Not only did she not become a drag on anyone, but she was disappointed and admired by Chun Yu Sangye, who had done countless heroes to save the United States, and even dared to clash with Yongcheng Hou in her fantasy for the sake of Shi Weining. Even Shi Weining helped some small favors on the way, such as taking the initiative to give up the carriage that she was originally riding in from the beginning to settle some people who were physically exhausted or sick.

- Chun Yu Sangye sighed in his heart, with his cheekiness, he couldn't find anything he could boast about in front of Shi Weining?

Shi Weining's age is three years older than Chun Yu Sangye, she will not be like those ordinary little ladies in Chang'an, coaxed by 'flower' words, Chun Yu Sangye's brazenness, although Shi Weining is not angry, but she just laughs.

Because of the relationship between Chun Yu Sangye and Shi Caifeng, Shi Weining has always regarded him as a younger brother. Even if Chun Yu Sangye stubbornly called her heart strong again and again, and pestered her to confess her heart again and again, this kind of stalking could not make Shi Weining have any trouble or emotion.

Since I was a child, I have heard too many lectures due to my different ambitions, and patience has always been good.

It's not that she speaks harshly and viciously, but it's a 'door'-for-tat, and it's hard to 'provoke' her.

The kind of understatement of the younger brother who can't understand the elder sister is an unbearable look down or even contempt for Chunyu Sangye. Even Shi Weining's strange emotions can't be triggered, this kind of relationship, no matter how long Chenguang is, what is the benefit of his purpose?

As one of the three tyrants of Chang'an, Chun Yu Sangye, who is affected by a friend like Ning Shaobi with a poisonous mouth, is not that he doesn't know how to break the light wind in front of Shi Weining, but he is not his cousin Chun Yupei.

What's more, even if it makes Shi Weining's mood fluctuate...... It's just that he dislikes him, which Chun Yu Sangye doesn't understand, but Shi Caifeng definitely doesn't understand.

Chun Yu Sangye frustrated shut up, his friend Shi Caifeng did not have eccentricity, how to guide Ning Shaobi in detail to coax Zhuo's heart, this westward trip, by the grandmother's order to try to match his sister Shi Weining and Chun Yu Sangye's Shi Caifeng, it took several days of Chenguang, and there was no doubt that Chun Yu Sangye was taught very carefully. Even swore to the sky that when he taught Ning Shaobi at the beginning, he would never have bothered this time, not to mention that this teaching had also added his new understanding in the past few years.

Now the "Summary of the Westward Journey" written by Shi Caifeng day and night is still carefully hidden in his arms, and he grasps the light every night and reads it hard. But even so, his progress was slow.

"Xinlie is different from the little lady of the Zhuo family, how easy is that little lady?" Compared with Ning Shaobi's record, Chun Yu Sangye is really a failure, as for Shi Caifeng, in the pursuit of the little lady, even Ning Shaobi, who has always been conceited, does not want to mention him, Chun Yu Sangye is frustrated and annoyed, so he has to comfort himself, "Xinlie is different from all the ladies in Chang'an, even if sometimes five guidance, my progress is slow, it should be." This is because the Zhuo clan is too stupid, it's not that I'm inferior to Ning Jiu, well, it must be so. ”

Looking at Shi Weining, who was already looking up at the sky under the starlight and didn't care about his answer at all, Chun Yu Sangye's heart felt irritable for no reason, and he suddenly said desperately: "Xinlie, I have achieved nothing in the past, and I have done a lot of foolish things, but I can ...... You...... What kind of person do you like, I can know what to do, if you like the desert and like the Western Regions, after returning to Chang'an this time, I ask the sage to give me an official position in the Western Regions, and accompany you to live here all the time, okay? ”
