Book XII, chapter 162
When Blue plucked up the courage to push open the door, the room was empty. The quilt on the bed was already neatly folded, like the mood of the owner in the room. There was a letter on the table, and Lan Yi picked it up and opened it without thinking.
"Sister Lanyi, when you read this letter, Xiao Ying may have already left. Just like when he and He Yu came, they had nothing, and when they left, they looked back and found that they also had nothing to take with them. It doesn't even feel like the memories belong to me. It's ridiculous, Sister in blue, Xiao Ying also thinks it's very ridiculous, what kind of feeling is it to suddenly collapse of something that has been insisted on for a long time, Xiao Ying didn't understand it before, but now she finally tasted it as she wished. It turned out that the taste was unforgettable, it was so painful, it hurt to the heart. It's like a disease, deep-rooted and hard to heal. ”
The blue coat's eyes were sour, and he could imagine Shuying's expression when she wrote this letter. She paused and continued to watch.
"Thank you, Sister Lanyi, for your long-term care and support for Xiaoying. Xiao Ying has nothing to repay, she can only silently pray and bless Sister Blue in her heart, you are a good person, and one day you can find your own happiness. As for where Xiao Ying will go, Sister Lan Yi doesn't have to worry, Xiao Ying will definitely live well and complete what she wanted to accomplish a long time ago. Goodbye, sister in blue, cherish yourself!"
The blue coat folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, and reached out to wipe the tears from his face. How long has it been since I was so sentimental and sad. Sister Xiaoying, sister also hopes that you can regain your former innocence and joy. You never mentioned the Second Highness, it was the Second Highness who hurt you too deeply!
Sometimes feelings really make Lan Yi incomprehensible and can't guess. She finally thought about it, and felt that she had given the letter to Heyu.
When He Yu took the letter, he had no expression and looked very ordinary. Lan Yi could see the pain and sadness hidden behind his pretended relaxation. Lan Yi watched him walk into the inner hall with heavy steps, and sighed secretly in his heart, Second Highness, why are you so troubled, you missed your favorite, will you have the opportunity to meet again in the future?
He Yu returned to the hall and silently read the contents of the letter, which did not contain a single word about him. He gently put the letter into his arms, without any expression or words, just picked up the wine on the table and put it into his stomach one after another.
From that day on, he worked tirelessly for several days, dealing with and arranging the affairs of the demon clan, in order to numb the pain in his heart.
The night before departure, He Yu came to the demon king's side. He sat down slowly, covered the quilt for the demon king, and looked at the huge and empty temple in front of him. The night breeze rustled the curtains that blew to the ground. Only one candle swayed in the night breeze, faintly supporting the light that filled the room.
I don't know if Xiaole has found Shuying. If Xiaole is by Shuying's side, Xiaole has a lively temperament, at least it can alleviate and alleviate her sadness, so that she is less lonely and painful. Thinking of this, He Yu's heart throbbed slightly, and he didn't know when he was like Uncle Chen Xuan, who was dyed with a lot of wind and frost.
He walked to the window and lowered it one by one. Without the cold wind, the candle flame stopped fluttering, and the light brightened. He sat down on the bed, turned his head and glanced at the bed, the demon king's sleeping face with his eyes closed, turned his head and muttered: "Big brother, there are strong enemies outside the demon clan now, and there is turmoil inside, and my younger brother feels that he is about to be unable to support it." Tomorrow my brother is going to set out to do something, and I don't know if I can come back. So the demon clan can't live without you. It's my brother, please, wake up!" After speaking, He Yu turned his back to the edge of the bed, bent over his head and supported his head, his voice hoarse from choking.
Behind him, on the bed, I don't know if it's a hallucination, the demon king's hand slowly raised, wanting to caress He Yu's back for comfort. And when He Yu turned his head again, there was peace behind him, and there was no change.
"I don't know if it's life or death. Big brother, the demon clan can only rely on you to protect it in the future. Brother, I'm gone. He Yu finally stared at the demon king and strode out of the palace gate. These days, as far as he can think of, he has done his best to arrange and arrange. Due to the lack of time, the phantom he secretly cultivated was handed over to the blue coat when he left. He told the blue coat that if there was a rebellion within the clan after he left, this phantom would be enough for her to retreat and delay some time.
Lan Yi didn't agree, and wanted to accompany He Yu. He Yu told her very deeply that in the demon clan, except for his grandmother, he only believed in blue clothes. So she had to stay, the first to take care of the demon clan, and the second generation to take care of his grandmother and the demon king.
In fact, long before visiting the eldest brother, He Yu, who had not stepped into the side hall for a few days, had dinner time this day, so that a large table of good dishes was specially made below and sent to the side hall. He appeared in front of Xue Yu as if nothing had happened.
Xue Yu was overjoyed and stood up from her seat.
He Yu took Xue Yu's hand filial piety, let Xue Yu sit down, waited for various cuisines to come one after another to spread out a table, signaled them to step back, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, my grandson originally planned to cook a few dishes to share with my grandmother today, but my grandson's cooking skills are really unbearable, and I can't get on the table, so I have to let others do it for me, I hope my grandmother will understand." ”
"Yu'er can come over to accompany her grandmother, grandmother is already very satisfied and happy, whether you did it or not, grandmother doesn't care at all. Xue Yu was in a good mood and said excitedly. Since the unpleasant quarrel with Yu'er that day, Yu'er has not seen her for many days, and she is afraid that Yu'er will be angry with her. Now that Yu'er can do nothing, she made a special trip to eat with her, she is already moved and content. Where else dare to say anything else, together with Wen Yin, Xue Yu also deliberately ordered that if he saw He Yu, let him avoid it for the time being.
He Yu handed the chopsticks to Xue Yu's hand and said, "Come, grandmother, how about you taste this?" ”
"Good, good. Xue Yu picked up a piece and put it in her mouth at will, to be honest, she didn't care about what she was eating, and nodded with great satisfaction: "En, it tastes good, it's delicious, come, Yu'er will taste it too." ”
In this way, you come and go, after a few times, Xue Yu felt almost the same, and suddenly wanted to speak and stopped.
He Yu then put down his chopsticks and said good-naturedly: "Grandmother, you and my grandfather and grandson, if there is anything you can't say, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"Yu'er, I, I want to say that although I live here every day without worrying about food and clothing, I am also very happy to have Wen Yin by my side. Xue Yu hesitated, paying attention to He Yu's expression as she spoke, for fear that her Yu'er would not agree and object, seeing He Yu's calm and gentle expression, she tried to say: "So I thought, I want to go to the outside world to see..."
"Grandmother wants to leave?" He Yu's eyes darkened.
"No, no, I just haven't really seen the outside world, including the time when your grandfather disappeared before, and I was so resentful that I just wanted to find him and your father, and I didn't pay attention to the beauty of the outside world. It was my grandmother who wanted to leave for a while, travel to the outside world, see the scenery of the landscape, and experience the life outside. Xue Yu explained anxiously.
He Yu smiled and said, "Grandmother must be looking for my father, who has never met, right?"
Xue Yu was hit by He Yu's words, and he didn't dare to look up for a while, Gu Zuoyan said: "No, grandmother just wants to go out and see the outside world, besides, the sea of people is vast, I don't know the face of the monk, I don't know where he returns, I don't even know where to start, and how to find your father." Xue Yu was afraid that if He Yu found out, she would be worried that she would retaliate and not allow her to leave, so she lied and did not admit it.
Xue Yu was surprised and surprised that He Yu didn't have a single rebuttal, and magically agreed to her. I only heard He Yu say peacefully: "Grandmother, you want to find your father, and your grandson agrees." ”
Xue Yu was ecstatic and said, "Really, Yu'er, you really agree, don't object to grandmother." She said secretly, she knew that Yu'er was reasonable and agreed so happily, why should she be afraid for a long time and dare not speak.
"However, you must promise your grandson that you will not implicate the innocent, and the old hatred will add to the new one. He Yu said solemnly.
As long as my son, that is, your father, our family can be reunited, and grandmother can do everything from the past. Xue replied with a nail to the head.
He Yu was afraid that his grandmother would regret it temporarily and make a big mistake impulsively, so he did not forget to warn him at the end: "Grandmother must be true to her word, otherwise even her grandchildren will not forgive you in the end." ”
Xue Yu happily agreed, "Okay, grandmother remembers." The thought that, with her grandson's consent, she would soon be on the road to find her long-lost child, she was so excited that she wanted to set off immediately.
He Yu quietly looked at Xue Yu's face full of joy, and the corners of his lips rose. It's better for my grandmother to have something to do than to learn that he has left the demon clan and has to go into danger with him.
Everything was handled so naturally and perfectly. He Yu retracted his thoughts, didn't care, looked back at the closed door of the temple behind him, and took advantage of the dead of night to get into the carriage. With a soft snort, the groom raised his whip and drove out of the city gates.
The reason why he didn't resist the sword was only because he had to defend against foreign enemies, and the Blood Cloud Shield that He Yu and the four elders had been working hard to design along with the capable craftsmen in the clan had finally succeeded. The Blood Cloud Shield is different from usual, and there is no need to activate it artificially. Anyone who flies will be sucked by the aura of the enchantment condensed in the sky and shot down to the ground. It doesn't matter if it's outside or inside. This is also where the Blood Cloud Shield is still not perfect. I didn't have time to continue improving, but it was much better than before.
Therefore, not long ago, He Yu specially issued an edict informing the clan that no matter the size of the official position or even the common people, they were not allowed to pass through the royal objects in the clan, and once it was discovered, the violators of the order would be beheaded!
He Yu strictly ordered senior officials to lead by example, and there were also jurisdiction points in many places, and there were rewards for reporting each other. It didn't take long for the harvest to be significant. There are some people who don't know the truth and complain one after another. But He Yu didn't have time to scruple so much. What he thought of was that once a foreign enemy provoked a war and took the opportunity to sneak attack, at least this blood cloud shield could resist for a while, so that the four elders and the subordinates would have more time to deal with and take precautions.
