"You want to do it yourself?" Lehok asked with some annoyance, "Why are you so eager that you forgot all the things I taught you behind your ass?" ”

Gerry raised his eyes to look at Lehoek, who was standing below, and turned to a smiling face: "The news of the admiral is very fast!" ”

"Don't say something useless! What Nan Tart needs now is to recuperate, how to raise troops hastily? Lehok's loud voice echoed in the chamber, and Jeddah on the side didn't react, as if he was used to Lehok's loud voice.

Gerry stood up and walked towards Lehok with a smile, "We need to recuperate, and so does the Central Plains, so this is the best time." ”

"Sit here," Gerry raised his hand to lead Le and Kerry to the hall.

Lehok softened his face and followed into the inner hall. Sitting at the round table, Jeddah brought tea and placed it in front of the two of them.

Seeing that Le Hok was expressionless, Gerry pushed the tea in front of him again, "Admirals don't need to worry, Nan Tart is a good son, isn't it a coward." I will lead the warriors of Nantar to expand the territory and return with victory. ”

Leheke sighed, took the tea, and took a sip: "You have made up your mind, and it is useless for me to say anything." Naturally, they all listened to the king. ”

"The admiral's words," Gerry said a little mischievously: "The admiral has cultivated me with his heart for so many years, and I respect the admiral and my father." Whatever the father says, the child should remember. ”

"Hahahaha! You kid, you're oily," laughed Lehoek.

Gerry laughed too, and the hall overflowed with warmth. Jeddah, who was only on the side, tilted his head and pursed his lips, with no intention of participating.

In recent days, there has been another heavy snowfall, covering the withered yellow grass and turning it into a white expanse. The midday sun shines on the plains, and the warmth is like rejuvenation.

Two young girls walked on the snow and made a crunching sound. Su Qing likes snow, she has never seen a few snows in the south before, and she has not been able to understand the artistic conception of a sudden spring breeze coming overnight and thousands of trees and pear blossoms. Now I've seen all the snow.

"In the past few days, you don't want to go to Shenshan Mountain to pick snow lotus" Su Qing and Zhana walked on the snow and helped her carry the dried medicinal herbs.

Zana wiped the sweat from his forehead: "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid something will happen, I can only say so much," Su Qing said.

Zana nodded: "Well, I listen to you"

"Do you have to move all this?" Su Qing was also sweating, and pointed to the grass mound next to him.

Zhana's breathing was a little heavy: "No, use it again and move it, otherwise the tent will not be able to fit." ”

The two of them threw their clothes and walked into the tent one after another, and the fragrance of herbs on their faces made Su Qing's breathing sooth. When I first came, I was not used to the too strong smell of Chinese medicine here, but I didn't expect to stay for a long time, but I felt that the fragrance of this medicine was shocking.

Zhana poured Su Qing a cup of hot milk tea and put it on the table: "Drink it while it's hot, don't eat cold when you sweat."

Su Qing nodded, held the bowl to warm his hands for a while, looked at the herbs in the room and remembered something and asked, "Why haven't you seen Shuanghu in the past few days?" ”

Zha said while pounding the medicinal herbs: "The master said that when it snows in winter, there will be a precious medicinal herb in the western part of the grassland, and he will go to pick it back, and it may take more than ten days to come back." ”

“... Precious medicinal herbs" Su Qing muttered quietly, with some doubts in his heart. Since there will be snow in winter, why haven't I seen him go before, even if he wants to go, he should have quarreled with Aris a few days ago, and I wish all the southern tarts knew. Aris hasn't seen it in the last few days... It seems that Gerry has made other arrangements.

"What are you doing?" Zhana stepped forward and shook it in front of Su Qing's eyes.

Su Qing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No"

Zhana walked to the side and washed his hands, sat back next to Su Qing, and asked with a grin: "Sister, how did you spend Chinese New Year's Eve this year?" ”

"Huh?" Su Qing didn't react a little, "Could it be that there is a special program this year?" ”

Zhana smiled and shook his head: "Isn't the king in Nantar this year, you can live together!" As he spoke, his face was a little hot.

Su Qing dared to guarantee that looking at this girl's ruddy face, what they said was definitely not a mistake.

smiled and nodded Zana's head: "Little girl"

"Hey, hey! Sister Su Qing, when did you and the king get married? Zhana asked with a smile again.

Su Qing opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, turned her head and picked up the milk tea and continued to drink. It's too cold on this day, and the milk tea is cold fast.

"Sister, if you become a queen, then I can go to Bayani to play every day!" Zana continued to dance.

"What about you" Su Qing didn't answer, and opened the fork without authorization.

Zana was stunned.

Su Qing put the bowl on the table, making a crisp sound, and the air around him seemed to be quiet.

"You and him, what should we do?" This is the first time that Su Qing has taken the initiative to explore other people's private affairs, for no other reason, she wants to know what feelings are all about, and she wants to use other people's mouths to relieve her own numbness.

Zhana sighed slightly, his back curled slightly, and his face was a little melancholy: "I don't know, he only thinks I am a child" said and lowered his head, "I don't know what he will say when I really grow up like he said." ”

Time was quiet again, Su Qing regretted this statement a little, she didn't know how to comfort her, just like her messy feelings now, she felt powerless.

"But... Hehe" Zana Wu laughed to himself, "It's okay, I don't care. If he doesn't want to, I'll marry him!" No one in this vast prairie can tie me to grab a man! He patted his chest with his teeth.

Su Qing also laughed, maybe it really didn't matter. Like is like, dislike is not like, since you like it, you should be honest with your heart.

Since there is a problem, it should be solved, and avoiding it is not the best solution.

Zhana looked at Su Qing's face as gloomy as he had just now, and asked, "Sister has something on her mind?" ”

Su Qing turned his head to look at Zhana, smiled and nodded: "But because of Zhana's enlightenment, I figured it out."

"Huh?" Zana tucked her hair embarrassedly, "That's comforting?" ”

"Count" Su Qing nodded vigorously at Zhana, and touched her head with a smile: "So now it's time to solve my worries" said and stood up and walked out.

The snow on the wide palace road had long been cleared, and a thin layer of snow was covered with sticky branches on both sides, like rime. The two larks sang on the snow on the branches, and the maroon red foreheads were like the cold plums of the wax moon, adding a touch of life to the silent palace wall.

Jeddah, who stayed outside the door of the council hall, saw Su Qing not far away, smiled and took a few steps forward, bowed down and said, "Miss Su Qing"

Su Qing hurriedly returned the salute, looked up at the closed hall door again, and asked in a low voice, "Doesn't the king rest at noon?" ”

Gilda smiled and shook his head, "Look at the king's mood"

Su Qing nodded and didn't speak again.

"I'll go in and tell you, and the king will see you," Jeddah gestured to leave.

"Eh" Su Qing hurriedly grabbed Jeddah, "No, it's nothing important." I'll just wait here. ”

Jida laughed silently at Su Qing's invisible back.

"That's really wronged Miss Su Qing" How can there be the smile just now, with an embarrassed and pitiful expression, no one will pity it when they see it.

It's just that this sleek life is a little chilly in Su Qing's opinion.

He didn't answer again, and walked to the side.

Standing next to the eagle falcon stone pillar on the other side of the main hall, staring at the snowy branches in a daze, I don't know how long it took, my legs and feet were a little numb from the cold.

"Su Qing?"

After recovering and turning his head, Gerry walked briskly with a nervous expression.

He opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

"Why don't you let people tell me about it?" took off his fox fur cloak and put it on Su Qing's body, "There is snow on my shoulders, I don't know if it's cold?" He grabbed her hand a little anxiously and walked to the inner hall.

"Someone! Prepare hot water, ginger soup, charcoal fire and a pot! Gerry pulled Su Qing to sit on the chair, and after he finished speaking, he squatted in front of Su Qing, rubbing her cold hands.

Su Qing looked down at Gerry, his heart was warm, and there was a trace of grievance and sourness, which drilled into his heart and poured into his eyes. He sniffed and said, "I'm here to have something to say."

Gerry raised his head, looked at her quietly, rubbed Su Qing's hand, and snorted.

When the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything. It's yourself who makes a fuss, it's yourself who runs to the door for no reason and waits for self-abuse, and you can't figure out your emotions, and how to explain it to the person in front of you.

As if seeing her thoughts, Gerry smiled lightly and held Su Qing's face with his palm, "I want to say, are you afraid of me?" ”

Su Qing looked at him in a daze, but he didn't know that he was so careful, he was a little flustered for a while, and subconsciously wanted to refute: "It's not... I just..."

"A lot of people are afraid of me," Gerry reassured, "Aris, Shuanghu, they're all afraid of me"

The servant brought a bowl of ginger soup and hot tea and placed them on the table, and Su Qing was silent. Someone on the side fiddled with the brazier, and when everyone retreated, Su Qing looked up at Gerry.

Gerry held Su Qing with one hand, put down a stool with the other, sat next to her, and then slowly spoke: "Do you know what people outside say about me?"

Su Qing looked at Gerry puzzled and shook his head.

Gerry tested the temperature of Su Qing's forehead before he spoke: "Son of a bitch"

"I have no father or mother, and I have been wandering outside for as long as I can remember, surrounded by either wolves or snakeskins, and I believe only the knife in my hand. Abdication and letting the virtuous are all spread outside, but in fact, they are all famous families colluding with each other, and the throne is just the embodiment of maximizing interests. ”

picked up the ginger soup on the table, took a spoonful, put it to his mouth and blew it, and sent it to Su Qing's mouth: "Making others afraid of me is the result I want, I am essentially a monster with human blood, and the smiling face is just a disguise." Don't feel bad because you're afraid of me. ”

Gerry coaxed Su Qing to drink half a bowl of ginger soup, and when he heard this, Su Qing avoided the spoon that Gerry stretched out, and said: "You are not a monster" The cold red face looked pitiful, but the eyes were firm.

Gerry was stunned, then smiled: "Okay, it's not a monster"

After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, Su Qing felt that his body warmed up, and took the initiative to shake Gerry's hand: "... My parents separated when I was very young. They didn't want to take me with them, they thought I was a burden. I had nowhere to go, so my uncle took me home. My uncle's family treated me very well, and I was grateful, but I never felt like it was my home. I was afraid that if I wasn't well-behaved enough, they would not want me like my parents, and I never asked for anything, just to live a normal life every day. ”

Looking up at Gerry, tears came out of his eyes before he spoke, "I'm not afraid of you, I'm just afraid that you'll be angry." I know you must not understand, I am afraid of all the quarrels, I am afraid of all the angry emotions, that makes me tremble uncontrollably" Gerry raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Su Qing's face.

"Gerry, I've never liked a person so much. I like it to the point that I'm a little scared, afraid that I won't be able to catch it. Warmth is fleeting, pleasure is short-lived, but I hope to be with you for a long time. ”

Gerry silently held Su Qing in his arms, soothed her emotions, and said in her ear: "Su Qing, I also like a person for the first time, I can't control everything, especially you, you cherish it too much and can't do it." Su Qing felt Gerry's palm gently caress his head, and he was about to fall asleep.

"The promise is too shallow, I'll do it slowly for you to see"

Su Qing nodded in Geri's arms, and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it, so he replied in a muffled voice: "Okay"
