Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, my heart became more and more empty. My feet moved, and I walked with the figure, and I didn't know what else to say when I followed, but I was unwilling to watch him and me stretch a long distance.

But after following all the way, at the turn of the corridor, I saw Ah Lan coming over, and saw Ah Ping's face showing joy. From a short distance, I couldn't hear what they were saying, and I couldn't see Ah Ping's expression, but I could only slightly observe that his shoulders were no longer tense, and his nerves relaxed after seeing Ah Lan.

Later, the two of them left together, and I didn't follow them again.

After this battle, all the remnants of the Northern Yuan in Yaoguan City were annihilated, and the Northern Yuan army was also defeated, and there was no power to return to heaven. The battle with the Northern Yuan was finally won, and the imperial court also sent an edict, ordering Ah Ping and Zhu Di to return to the court immediately.

So the group gathered up and went on the road, left Yaoguan, and embarked on the road back to Beijing. There was a carriage prepared for me alone, but I declined, chose a tall black horse to ride, and only asked Zhu Gaoxu to teach me to ride a horse for half a day before leaving.

It's not that the scenery on horseback is attractive, it's just that I don't want to be cranky in the small space of the carriage. And in order to be out of sight, he deliberately rode far away from the carriage, because it was not a marching expedition, Zhu Di deliberately ordered the three armies to slow down, no need to rush overnight, and would stop at noon and dusk to rest.

Even so, I suffered a lot from horseback riding, and I really only knew the pain when I was in it. It may be that I have been running around day and night not long after I have just come out of confinement, and my physique is much worse than before, and I don't feel anything on the first day of riding, and on the second day, I feel back pain, and the saddle is so hard that people sit on the buttocks, and the inner thighs are even more red.

But I didn't say any of this, and I had nowhere to say it, so I just endured it in silence.

There was an episode on the way. Before the green lotus was captured, on the way back was guarded by a few soldiers, one night those soldiers suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain, frequent toilet, and then I don't know who shouted: "Oh no, the female prisoner ran away!" This alarmed everyone in the camp, because it was the soldiers led by Zhu Gaoxu who were responsible for guarding the green lotus, so he had the duty to take people to chase them.

As a result, the people who went out to chase all came back, but Zhu Gaoxu did not come back, and the green lotus was not brought back.

These days, Zhu Gaoxu is almost by his side to take care of me, and when he saw that he was delayed in returning, he stepped forward to listen to the report of the soldiers to Zhu Di, and learned that Green Lotus had been caught up, but she made the poison so strong that she couldn't prevent it, and she put down several people one after another. Later, Zhu Gaoxu chased after him alone, and the rest couldn't keep up, so he could only come back and report the situation first.

Zhu Di frowned lightly after hearing this, and only ordered the military doctor to come over to treat the poisoned soldiers, but did not send anyone to find Zhu Gaoxu. I couldn't help but be secretly anxious after listening to it, Green Lotus's original temperament was silly, but that was not her nature. The fact that she has been able to lurk by my side for more than a year without me noticing shows how tenacious her heart is. Even if Zhu Gaoxu's martial arts are higher than her, his straightforward temperament may not be the opponent of Green Lotus, not to mention that Green Lotus will also poison.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhu Di: "Don't care about that kid, if he can't even deal with a woman, he won't have to come back." ”

The decision has been made and will not be changed. Turning my eyes to meet the sight of Qingping not far away, my pupils shrank, these days I almost occasionally glance at the past from a long distance, and I can't see my face clearly, I can only vaguely see a familiar figure. And there was always a bright figure on his side, and I seemed to be a parallel line with him that did not intersect.

Retracted his gaze and turned to leave, and when he approached his tent, he suddenly heard a call from behind him: "Xu Lan." ”

I turned my head and saw that it was Yan Qi who followed, and I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and ask. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Has Green Lotus been caught?" I knew what he meant, but when I heard him really ask, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, in the end, he still cared about Green Lotus.

I shook my head: "Didn't catch it, let her run." ”

I couldn't tell whether the expression on Yan Qi's face was relieved or angry, and in the end he only said dryly: "Then I'll go." But he took two steps and turned around, "Childe just forgot about you for a while, you are his life, and one day he will remember you." ”

I pulled a bitter smile, "Hopefully." ”

Maybe everyone thinks so, even Imperial Doctor Jiang once came to me and said that Ah Ping just can't remember the past for the time being, which means that I should be patient for a while. Maybe it's really as they said, in the near future, Ah Ping will remember the past and remember this period of the past, but some things are bound to remain, such as the wounds left in the heart, such as the pain in the middle of the day and night.

Ah Ping and I can't go back to the past.

After dawn, Zhu Di ordered to set off, but he didn't wait for Zhu Gaoxu to come back at all. Zhu Di is really absolutely strict in governing the army, even if that person is his son, he is not much different from outsiders.

I was used to the noise in my ears, and for a while I was riding on a horse and no one came to talk to me, so I felt very uncomfortable. Whenever I heard the wind and grass, I looked back and inspected, but I never saw Zhu Gaoxu come back, and I became more and more anxious all day.

When he was camping, he couldn't help but walk to Zhu Di's tent and ask, "Don't you really send someone to find Axu?" ”

Zhu Di raised his eyes to look at me lightly, and threw a sentence: "You are interested in him." "I can't help but be angry, he's too disobedient as a father, isn't his son worried at all?

But after seeing the corners of his mouth tugging, he said: "Don't worry, although Ah Xu is still young, he is enough to take charge of himself in terms of thinking, and he will not suffer in strategy." I was shocked when I heard it, did he say that the person he said was Zhu Gaoxu, whom I knew? How is it different from the boy I know? After returning from Zhu Di's home, he came out several times at night to inspect, but no one came back.

The next day, I continued on the road, although I had Zhu Di's assurance, I still couldn't let go of my heart, until noon I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting: "General Xiao Zhu is back." I turned my head in shock, and sure enough, I saw Zhu Gaoxu riding a tall horse running forward from the back of the team, and there was a person hanging on the saddle in front of him.

He actually caught the person back, and he was unscathed. Squinted his eyes and looked closely, he found that Lu He's hands were tied behind his back, while Zhu Gaoxu was holding the reins with one hand and holding her with the other.

This posture can't help but make me look sideways, the two obviously went through a battle and finally the duel came out that Zhu Gaoxu won, the key is that when he got closer, he saw two obvious blood marks on his face, but he was still grinning at me.

"Xiaolan, do you see? I got this chick back. ”

I was really angry and funny when I looked at him showing off, is there such a person as embarrassed as him? Green Lotus hung his head and didn't look at anyone, as if he was disheartened, it is estimated that this kid's shot is not light or heavy.

But after a few moments, I couldn't help asking, "You just took her with you?" Don't you have to report to your father? ”

Zhu Gaoxu pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "She is happy to be taken by me like this, and she has already told her father when she first came back." That is to say, Zhu Di acquiesced to him and "brought" the green lotus on the horse? Is this to be held in person?

"Why have you been around for so long?" I didn't complain about it anymore, because although Green Lotus was originally my handmaiden, there is no doubt that she is a spy of the enemy country, and I can't protect her anymore.

But I was concerned about the process of asking, but I didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to squeak and squeak: "It didn't take long, it's just ...... It's just that I've been looking for someone for a long time. The words fell, his eyes flickered, and he obviously concealed something.

I don't bother to care, as long as the others come back fine.

But at night, I was just about to fall asleep, when I heard someone outside the tent shouting: "Oh no, General Xiao Zhu and His Highness's people are fighting." "My heart sank, Zhu Gaoxu and Ah Ping's people? Hurriedly got out of the tent and walked outside, towards the crowded place.

The obvious sound of fists and feet fighting came from the crowd, and I finally got inside and found that the person who was fighting with Zhu Gaoxu turned out to be Yan Qi. The two of them worked hard equally, and they fought inseparably, Zhu Gaoxu still looked stunned, but Yan Qi was angry in his eyes, and he was the one who hit him.

I swept around, not only alarmed Zhu Di, but even Ah Ping stood by and watched the field, but neither of them showed signs of shouting. His eyes were fixed on Ah Ping for a moment, and at the same time, he heard Zhu Gaoxu's roar, and turned his head in shock to see that the two people who were fighting had separated, but both sides were holding their chests and gasping.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his voice and asked: "What are you crazy about?" Yan Qi only glared at him fiercely and remained silent, listening to the whispers around him, he didn't seem to know what conflict had happened between the two.

Only then did I hear Zhu Di say in a deep voice: "What crime should be punished for private fights in the army?" ”

As soon as he asked Zhu Gaoxu, he was deflated, drooping his head and waiting to fall, Zhu Neng replied helplessly: "Hit ten military sticks." ”

"Both are punished." After Zhu Di dropped the order, he turned around and left, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed, but the executioner remained. So Zhu Gaoxu and Yan Qi both lay on the ground, and the Ten Army Sticks would not scream miserably, but they also heard the two of them snorting separately, Zhu Neng stomped his feet and said hatefully: "Can the stinky boy cause less trouble?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was not convinced: "Who caused trouble?" It was clear that he rushed up to me and beat me without asking. ”

"Okay, I don't bother to care about you, I want to roll away, and the marshal knows that some of you are guilty." Zhu Neng also left, and there were only a few of us left in the open space, and Ah Ping walked back to the camp tent as early as the initial dispersal.
