Chapter 135: Return to the Palace
At this time, a Taoist priest came over and said, "Master, uncle, General Zhang Wu Zhang is here." ”
Dou Yifang was stunned, and Yuzhen smiled and said: "It seems that today's game of chess can't be finished, so let's stop here!" With that, he got up and left.
Back mountain, Qingxinxuan.
"Zhang Wu see Dou Liangren!"
"General Zhang, please get up!"
"Xie Niangniang."
Jiang Yanxiang behind Dou Yifang was overjoyed, and frequently secretly looked at Zhang Wu.
Dou Yifang smiled faintly and asked Zhang Wu why he came. Zhang Wudao: "Weichen was ordered by the king to come to protect Niangniang. ”
"That's all?"
Zhang Wu nodded.
Dou Yifang thought that Zhang Wu was coming this time to take her back. Although it was a little disappointed, it did not damage Dou Yifang's mood.
"There's no need for protection, it's safe here, and the people you brought with you should all stay in the village below the mountain!!"
"Yes."
"If you two have anything to say, you can do whatever you want, I'm going to rest......" Dou Yifang's words made Jiang Yanxiang and Zhang Wu bow their heads embarrassedly.
Zhang Wu asked Jiang Yanxiang to take a walk down the mountain, and the backs of the two walking side by side were reflected in Dou Yifang's eyes, which made Dou Yifang feel a little emotional and a little envious.
Within two days, another fast horse came to Baiyun Temple. This time, the messenger brought good news - the king summoned Dou Liangren back to the palace!
Jiang Yanxiang was overjoyed, happy for Dou Yifang, Dou Yifang also had the feeling of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, she was also happy, but she behaved very plainly.
Because they had to catch up with the year-end festival, they didn't delay. That night, Dou Yifang went to say goodbye to Yuzhen and Yuling, and held a ceremony to return to the world. The next day, Yu Zhen and Yu Ling personally bid farewell to Dou Yifang, sent them to the mountain gate, and watched the carriage go away, Yu Zhen sighed.
"Why is Senior Brother so sad?" Jade Ling asked.
"I just thought of a ...... person"
Thinking of someone, Yu Ling didn't ask, and Yu Zhen didn't plan to say. After the carriage disappeared at the end of the woods, the two turned back, and the mountain gate slowly closed again, cutting off the world.
When walking up the long stone steps up the mountain, a Taoist priest hurriedly came to meet him, stopped in front of Yuzhen, and said: "The real person in charge, the senior brother of Jingzhi insisted on going down the mountain despite our dissuasion......"
Yu Zhen looked up at the sky, and said slowly: "Let him go, his heart is not here." ”
This Taoist priest called Jingzhi is Yu Nianchu, who later became a monk.
……
The woods outside the window flashed quickly, and the mountains in the distance were still continuous.
Dou Yifang looked out the window, in a good mood, and he didn't feel tired after a day of running. At night, they spent the night in a small village.
The night was deep and foggy.
Dou Yifang pushed open the window and looked out of the window. The small village is very quiet on a cold night, just like a cup of tea, which makes people feel calm.
People here have long been accustomed to sunrise and sunset, living a simple life. This kind of day is sometimes really enviable.
But this kind of day, after all, she has no chance with Dou Yifang, although she also wants to live a dull life with her beloved, but she still has a mission that has not been completed.
Yuzhen Taoist once said to her that the most difficult thing for people in the world to let go of is hatred, and if you can let go of hatred, you will find the beauty of all things!! Dou Yifang didn't know how the Jade True Daoist knew that she harbored hatred, probably this cultivator can see people's hearts!!
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the alley, and Dou Yifang followed the sound and saw more than 30 horsemen and horses along the street, heading in the direction where she was.
These people were uniformly dressed, all in black leather armor, with a sword hanging from their waists, all of them were radiant and mighty. Who are these people? It doesn't look like a bandit or robber.
Dou Yifang called Jiang Yanxiang and asked her to find Zhang Wu to investigate. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Dou Yifang asked Jiang Yanxiang to open the door, only to see Zhang Wu leading a person in.
This man was one of the thirty riders.
When the man saw Dou Yifang, he bowed his head and bowed, "The last general Situ Zhi, see Dou Liangren." ”
Dou Yifang's eyes were full of confusion and asked him why he came.
Situ Zhi said: "The last general was ordered by the king to lead thirty guards to escort the beloved back to the palace. ”
This shows that Liu Heng still cares about her very much, which makes Dou Yifang feel very pleased, "How is the palace now?" ”
"The last general's guard is not in the palace, so he does not know."
"Oh, stand down!!"
Previously, Jiang Yanxiang had been worried that they would encounter robbers on the way back, but now she can finally rest assured.
Situ Zhi was to retire, Dou Yifang asked him what was the matter, and he said: "The end of the year is about to end, and the king has specially ordered me to send the beloved back to the palace within three days, so the last general is brave and wants to ask the beloved to travel overnight." ”
Jiang Yanxiang was not very relieved, she was worried that she would exhaust Dou Yifang's room if she traveled overnight. This is not a good thing for Dou Yifang, in the days of Baiyunguan's cultivation, her body is no longer as weak as before.
Seeing that Dou Yifang was a little hesitant, Situ Zhi said again: "The concubine has been sick recently, and she is very concerned about her beloved. ”
Thinking of Concubine Pu, Dou Yifang seemed to think of her mother, so she nodded and agreed to hurry.
Walking out of the post house, Situ Zhi beckoned his subordinates to bring a carriage. This carriage was much wider than the carriage Dou Yifang sat in before, and it was pulled by two horses.
It's always cold at night, so Jiang Yanxiang put two quilts in the carriage of the carriage, one mattress under the bottom, and one bed to cover, so that Dou Yifang can rest well. Dou Yifang also laughed at her thoughtfulness, the bumps on the road, I was afraid that I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to.
After Jiang Yanxiang fiddling with it, the car was indeed much warmer. And there is a faint aroma in the carriage, which smells very good.
"You also prepared this incense?" Dou Yifang asked.
"No!!" Jiang Yanxiang shook her head.
Maybe it was prepared by Situ Zhi, which shows that he is a careful person, and Dou Yifang can't help but appreciate him even more.
Over there, Situ Zhi was talking to Zhang Wu, "General Zhang, Dou Liangren will be handed over to us, you go back to the king first!" ”
Zhang Wu said: "Then there is General Lao Situ......" After speaking, Zhang Wu took a few entourages to say goodbye to Dou Yifang, took a few glances at Jiang Yanxiang by the way, and then took the first step.
Situ Zhi also came to Dou Yifang and asked, "What else do you need?" ”
Dou Yifang pushed the window of the cart and asked, "Why can't this window be opened?" ”
Situ Zhi said: "That's right, this carriage was made temporarily, and the last general thought that it was cold at night, so he asked people to seal the windows, and if the lover needed it, the last general sent someone to find a carpenter to open the window." ”
Dou Yifang hurriedly said: "Don't bother, let's go!" ”
"Yes."
When the carriage started, the cold wind swished into the carriage, and Dou Yifang had no choice but to let Jiang Yanxiang close the door. The two snuggled up in the carriage, covered with quilts to keep warm.
Jiang Yanxiang said proudly: "I am prescient. ”
Dou Yifang smiled and said: "Yes, yes, our sister Yanxiang is becoming more and more good at taking care of people." General Zhang is really blessed......"
Jiang Yanxiang's face was hot, and she said abruptly: "Master, you are making fun of me again......
If Jiang Yanxiang can really marry Zhang Wu, Dou Yifang can be regarded as a wish. Now she thought of Han Lian, Qin Yilian, Wei Muyu, Dan Lotus, Qingluo, Duckweed and Xiao Lanyi in the palace. What kind of life do these people yearn for?
If she has the ability, she will definitely do her best to help them realize their dreams.
The rush at night made Dou Yifang and Jiang Yanxiang more excited, and the two chatted and laughed along the way. But before they knew it, they felt their eyelids and eyelids gradually become heavy. The scent in the carriage was like a dose of soothing tea, making them close their eyes.
The carriage suddenly jolted, and Dou Yifang opened his eyes again, but he was still very sleepy. The scent was getting stronger and stronger, making her feel like she couldn't breathe. She reached out to open the door, but pushed it twice but didn't.
She thought that she was not using enough strength, and when she wanted to move her body forward a little, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
This feels very wrong.
She looked at Jiang Yanxiang next to her, she had already fallen asleep, she pushed Jiang Yanxiang, and called her name softly, but she couldn't wake up.
Everything in front of her made her inexplicably uneasy, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Situ Zhi is a person...... Seems strange......
A scene not long ago came to Dou Yifang's mind. She asked Situ Zhi about the situation in the palace, and Situ Zhi said that he didn't know, how did he know that the concubine was sick?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this Situ Zhi was suspicious, if it was really the people sent by the king to pick her up, why didn't she wear regular clothes and armor and use the banner?
Also, the fragrance in this carriage now makes people dizzy and drowsy, isn't it a mystery?
What exactly does Situ Zhi want to do?
Dou Yifang slapped the car door hard, "General Situ? ”
No one responded.
"General Situ, can you knock on the door?"
Still no one cares.
Dou Yifang felt a chill in her heart, she had fallen for it. Who is this Situ Zhi? Is it the same group of people as Huang Liao and Lin Rou last time?
Dou Yifang couldn't figure it out, because she just wanted to sleep.
I can't sleep...... Can't sleep......
She endured a strong sense of sleep, but she was afraid that she would never wake up after falling asleep. In order not to let herself fall asleep, she pulled off the hairpin on her head and stabbed herself in the leg.
The stimulation of the pain made her suddenly refreshed, but after a while, she wanted to fall asleep again, so she stabbed herself again, and so on.
"Big brother, it seems that someone is chasing ......"
Dou Yifang heard someone talking outside, what was chasing him? Is it Zhang Wu? Did he see through Situ Zhi's tricks?
"How many?"
"Seven or eight, that's the guard from before."
"Shhh...... I knew I would have killed him first! You take half of your brothers to meet them. ”
"Yes!"
Sure enough, it's Zhang Wu! Dou Yifang felt hope. She only begged that Situ Zhi's gang was a rabble, and they couldn't resist Zhang Wu and his guards.
The carriage seemed to enter a wood, and Dou Yifang heard the whimpering cry of the wind blowing through the woods. The sound was creepy. She tried to wake up Jiang Yanxiang again, but she couldn't wake up, so she could only use a hairpin to stab Jiang Yanxiang.
