16 Chapter 16

After the rain, the whole world is as if it has been washed by water, which is extraordinarily distinct!

"Dance, obedient, the rain is wet and cold, this mud pit is not a place for a long time, don't be embarrassed, okay?"

Wei Jue looked at me eagerly, and before I could speak, he picked me up without saying a word, and came to the ground lightly.

"You let go of me! Who's at odds with you? My horse ......"

I turned my head to look at the horse in the mud pit, this horse was as oily as black satin, the horse's hooves were white and snowy, the horse's back was long and thick, and I rode it like black wings flying in the wind, and now the pit was full of mud, and it was dirty, but I was reluctant to leave it.

Wei Jue didn't speak, the horse he was riding trotted over, just stopped beside us, and Wei Jue stretched out his hand and took me to the back of the horse, so that no matter how much dissatisfaction I had, it was too late to attack.

"Did you hear that? My Horse ...... I'm going to save it! I said that I wanted to roll over and dismount.

"I hear you!" Wei Jue raised his head, his eyes were gentle like water: "I'll pull it out!" ”

After speaking, Wei Jue turned around and came to the mud pit, looked back at me again, and said with a smile: "Dance! Horses are spiritual, they are fearless on the battlefield, they charge into battle, they are as heroic as people, they can deal with danger and trouble, they can also deal with it calmly, you see, they are much calmer than you! ”

"What are you talking about?" I looked at him angrily, thinking that if he couldn't save my horse, he would be in good hands!

I stared at Wei Jue for a moment, only to see him leaning over to the horse's ear and whispering a few words, and then hooking the reins in the palm of his hand and pulling hard, the horse that had been exhausted and gave up the struggle suddenly burst out with unimaginable force, so under his traction, the four hooves suddenly kicked sharply, and the water splashed in the mud pit, and before I could see it, the horse had firmly stepped on the ground, and raised its head and neighed.

"Trick up!"

I lowered my head and muttered softly, although I didn't know what Wei Jue said, the horse would cheer up and cooperate with him? But horses are the most spiritual animals, and I absolutely agree.

Wei Jue looked at the sky, led the horse to my horse, gently stroked the horse's mane, and raised his eyes to me: "Look at this weather, there will be a rain, dance, let's go back!" After saying that, he took a leap and sat down firmly on the horse's back.

I turned my head and inadvertently glanced at him, Wei Jue's white clothes had been soaked in muddy water, and the hem was dyed a little yellow, but it matched the green shirt lined inside. His drenched black hair, fair and delicate face, as handsome as the warm jade, was more attractive than the most beautiful woman, but it did not make people think that he was unmanly. The tall figure sitting on horseback was full of heroism, and the whole person was full of a dusty fairy rhyme, but this glance, like a shock, actually fascinated me.

"Chirp!"

A clear crane chirped from the mountains and forests, and it instantly brought me back to my senses. My face was a little hot, and I didn't want Wei Jue to notice my strange appearance, so I twisted the horse's head with a shake of my grip on the reins, and without saying anything more, I galloped straight out of the valley.

Wei Jue quickly caught up, but seeing that I had no words, he was also terribly silent, but only drove his horse to lead the way in front of me, and after a long time we returned to Xiakou.

The corpses outside Xiakou City have been collected and buried by the soldiers, and the smell of blood has disappeared because of this rain, if it were not for the scars of swords and axes still covering the city gates, it is hard to believe that this was still the battlefield of fighting not long ago.

Wei Jue and I stopped our horses and looked at this piece of land, both of us had indescribable feelings in our hearts, the long march of thousands of miles of sand, everywhere under the sand are often dry bones, war is cruel, born in the present, there is no choice!

"Miss......" A voice came from afar.

Before we entered the city, a soldier came to report that there was a messenger from Jiangxia who came to look for Wei Jue. Wei Jue looked at me, his expression changed, I was also faintly uneasy, and immediately rode into the city, I expected that the old lady must have seen that we had been missing for many days, and she missed us very much, and she must have come to urge us to return to Jiangxia.

When I returned to the City Lord's Mansion, I tied my horse to the stable, and was about to go back to the house, but I saw Wei Jue standing alone under the eaves of the porch that was still dripping, his face sinking like water, his brows furrowed, and although he did not speak, there was an indescribable sense of sadness that diffused into my heart.

I walked over and saw that his hand holding the letter was trembling slightly, and immediately asked, "What happened?" ”

Wei Jue raised his head slowly, and there was a light red in his eyes: "Mother wants us to go back to Jiangxia quickly!" My eldest brother may have had an accident in Hedong......"

Before he finished speaking, I hurriedly stepped forward, took the letter, glanced at it, but I didn't know a few words, I was in vain in the private school, Wei Jue approached me, and read it out: "Uncle Bao Wu'er, see the letter and return quickly!" Your brother was trapped in the hands of the Hu people in Hedong, and he is afraid that he has died! Now that the Hu people have returned to Beisai, I want to go back to Hedong to find your brother's body, and his heart is earnest.

"Wei Qi?" I couldn't believe it, and said cautiously: "Maybe he was just kidnapped by the Hu people, and the Hu people didn't dare to do anything to him, you ...... Don't worry too much! ”

Wei Jue shook his head: "The Hu people are ferocious, no matter whether they are scholars or cold families, they will all be beheaded, and the eldest brother is afraid that he will be more than lucky!" He said face to face with me, stretched out his hand and touched my hair lightly, there was no longer the slightest sadness on his face, and his voice was calm: "Wuxi, I can't delay here, I really can't rest assured of you, are you willing to walk with me?" ”

My heart trembled, a little overwhelmed, Wei Jue saw this and pulled me into his arms: "The matter between me and Le'er is in the past, I shouldn't marry her, it's all my fault, but since I saw you when I was a child, I only have you in my heart, I don't want you to be hurt a little bit but hurt her, Wuxi, can you understand?" I can't carry this burden for a lifetime, I believe in fate, and I believe in my feelings for you, no matter what happens, a hundred turns and a thousand times, the only thing I am waiting for is you! ”

"I'm the only one waiting?" I looked at him coldly, and my figure was reflected in those clear eyes.

"Wuxi, we are in troubled times, once we are separated, it will be difficult to see each other again, follow me back to Hedong! I don't want to be separated from you! Wei Jue's voice was a little hurried: "Let's go and ask Uncle Shan for resignation now!" ”

"Wait!" I grabbed Wei Jue, thought for a while and said: "There was just a big battle here, my father has not recovered from his sword wounds, I can't go with you, you are worried about your eldest brother is also understandable, you go back to Jiangxia quickly, don't let the old lady wait too long......"

Before I finished speaking, Wei Jue asked in a dumb voice, "Wuxi, are you saying goodbye to me?" ”

"No......" I reached out and touched his lips lightly, "Don't say goodbye, I don't like these two words!" I'll go to you, and when I've arranged everything, I'll naturally follow my husband......"

"Dance!" Wei Jue's expression was moved, he called me softly, and couldn't help but hug me tighter and tighter: "I'll wait for you, dance, you must come!" I'm not with you, take care of yourself, and ...... Remember to think about me! At the end of his words, he was even quieter, as if with the sadness of parting, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Hmmm! Be careful on the road! I gently pushed Wei Jue away: "I'll send you!" With that, he took his eyes off his face, took his hand, turned and walked with him towards the city gate.

……

There was a light rain in the sky, and Wei Jue's handsome figure had long since disappeared into the sky, but I still looked at the direction he was leaving, and refused to leave for a long time.

"Girl, since you can't bear it, why don't you go with him?"

Suddenly a voice sounded behind me, I looked back, my father came behind me at some point, I didn't reply to him, just silently. My father didn't care, but he put out his hand to hold the battlements and stood side by side with me, looking at the thick night with the same eyes.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Are you still angry with your father?" ”

"How dare I!" I was a little angry, turned my head to look directly into my father's eyes, and asked, "Is that Huren County Lord really as Murong Han said, you intercepted him?" ”

When my father heard this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Dance! You have been fighting on the battlefield with your father for many years, have you ever seen your father do this kidnapping of β–‘β–‘ girls? ”

I immediately shook my head, but my tone was uncertain: "But...... Why did Murong Han say this? ”

"Wuxi, you're not too young, you have to have an extra eye for everything!" My father pulled me aside as he spoke, and continued: "When the woman was exiled to Xiakou, she only said that she was a refugee who fled from the north, and her parents were killed by the Hu people. Dad saw that she was extraordinary, beautiful and lovely, so he took her in to live in the mansion, who would have thought that she would be the county lord of the Hu people? In the past few days since she was injured, her father has been in a coma, and with her skills, she still doesn't want to leave, so how can she force her to marry her and not let her go back to Hudi? You! is just anxious, and it is expected that he was deceived by Murong Han for a while! ”

"Murong Han is lying?" My father's words made me ponder.

"The Hu people have long had the intention of annexing Xiakou and even the entire Xiangyang, and according to my father's speculation, the woman came to Xiakou to find out the reality of our army, so that she could cooperate with Murong Hanli." My father glanced at me as he spoke, and his voice slowed down: "Dance! Murong Han, he already has a personal vendetta with the Wei family, so he went to the Wei Mansion to kidnap you, so that he can threaten me to withdraw from Xiangyang, killing two birds with one stone, why wouldn't he do it? You listen to his words and ask Daddy, don't you believe Daddy anymore! ”

"I ......" didn't come out, and I fell silent again.

Seeing that I didn't speak, my father reached out and patted me on the shoulder: "It's not your fault, your character is not clear to your father, but you can't just use your eyes to see and listen to everything. You have to learn more from Wei Jue! ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and my father's words immediately reminded me, reminding me of Murong Han's sister, who also pretended to be injured by me and blended into Jiangxia, isn't she a living example? If it weren't for her, how could Murong Han easily enter Jiangxia and the Wei family?

The past and the future came together in my mind in an instant. I was really too reckless, I suspected Wei Jue before, and now I doubt my father, but these two men can be regarded as my closest people, why would I deny them so easily because of outsiders' words?

Thinking of this, my expression changed, and my face turned a little hot. Wei Jue is gone, I don't know what year and month we will have to wait until we see each other next time?

"No! I can't let Wei Jue leave with regrets! Even if there is anything, I have to ask clearly, and I will never have a pimple in my heart. I suddenly spoke, looking at my father blankly.

The father was not surprised, raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the city wall, and said in a deep voice: "Born in troubled times, life and death are boundless, dance!" Wei Jue is a person who can be entrusted for life, he shouldn't have gone far yet, go quickly! ”

My father's words made my eyes red, tears slipped down the corners of my eyes unconsciously, I took a step back, and knelt down: "Dancing is not filial, I hope Daddy takes care!" ”

"Girl! Get up! If you rub it again, Daddy won't worry about you going with you! ”

My father lifted me up, and under his gaze, I turned around and rushed down the tower, stepped on the horse that had been rescued by Wei Jue, and galloped away in the direction of Wei Jue like an arrow.
