Xue Shao didn't want others to worry too much, so he had to suppress the complicated thoughts in his heart first, and cheered up to be busy with the selection of deputy generals and the inventory of supplies in the whole army. After being busy for two days in a row, he managed to squeeze out some free time, but he didn't go back to Xue's house, but the place where Lema went straight was the Lu Mansion, just because he couldn't wait to see Qingrong.

Lu Wenzhong and the Wang family were also very happy for Xue Shao when they heard about this, and the Xue family sent someone to pass the word this morning, but they didn't expect Xue Shao to come in person, and they were always relieved to see him when he was busy here.

Wang smiled: "Can you have dinner?" I don't know if you're coming, we've already eaten, so I'll let the cook prepare something to eat. ”

Xue Shao waved his hand and said, "Don't bother my mother-in-law, I'll come to Qingrong to talk and leave." ”

Wang is a person who has come over, and most of them have guessed that the couple is angry, "She is in her own room, this child knows that you are about to go on the expedition, and he will not go home to help count the salutes, this temperament is really getting bigger and bigger, I will talk about her well when I go back, let her play less temperament." ”

Xue Shao hurriedly said: "No, mother-in-law don't blame her." In the past, I took stock of it myself, and now I can do it too. The son-in-law went first. ”

Wang nodded and said okay with a smile, and after speaking, Xue Shao got up and left quickly and went to the backyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qingrong sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard, enjoying the moonlight alone. There was no one else around her, so she didn't know if she had expected Xue Shao to come back, or because she didn't want others to disturb her.

Qingrong didn't look sideways, and the moonlight tonight was really good.

Xue Shao didn't bother either, as soon as he saw her, it seemed that the fatigue of running for two days had been swept away.

Qingrong noticed that Xue Shao walked to her side with a light step, she endured her emotions and said coldly: "You are here." ”

"Two days ago, I knew it was you."

Qingrong got up and looked directly at him, silent, just listening.

Xue Shao stared at her, his voice trembling, "I just know, why Yun Niang said I was ungrateful... Now it seems that I really did that. ”

Yun Niang? Qingrong was puzzled, "What does it have to do with Yun Niang?" ”

"The day you left, she came and scolded me, saying that I was ungrateful, unkind, and unjust for you... I think I was so wrong that I couldn't even see it. ”

Qingrong couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, she had never heard Yun Niang talk about it...

Xue Shao suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, but with bitterness, "Since you left, I have thought a lot. I'm far less intelligent than you, and I think I'm good for you, but when I heard Yun Niang say that you were sad, I didn't understand why I hurt you again. Uncle's matter is already a warning, I am confused about the future, but your future is very good, how can I be willing to be a stumbling block for you? I don't know if I'm wrong, I'm afraid of delaying you, I'm afraid that you will suffer with me, and in the end I will answer the proverb and turn against me... I'm afraid that one day we'll end up like this. "That's the last thing he wants.

He lost his mind and said, "But I don't know... Why still failed you. ”

So what exactly should he do?

Qingrong understood as soon as he heard it, he may have heard what Zhang He said to her. He doesn't know his choice? And why have you been holding back from talking about it these days, and you can only think nonsense? Qingrong looked at his face that was gradually losing weight these days, and it took a long time before he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and his tone was calm: "Then why are you saying this now?" ”

Xue Shao just looked at her, "I'm uneasy, I don't want you to misunderstand, and I don't want you to be hurt." ”

Qingrong asked coldly: "Then you must wait until the hurtful words are spoken, and then you should regret it?" I haven't given you a chance for so long, have you asked me what I mean, do you care? If you only say that you are afraid, will I not be afraid? Didn't I treat you with my heart, and you didn't feel half a point? ”

Xue Shao was stunned, and he couldn't say a word.

Qingrong said all the dissatisfaction in his heart in one breath, "Sometimes I can't understand you, saying that you want to love me and treat me sincerely, I believe it, and I treat you sincerely." But you are the one who is determined to reconcile with me, what do you want me to do? Am I at your mercy and gladly accepting? Is this what you say, affection for me? ”

After a long time, Xue Shaocai shook his head and said, "It's because I thought it was bad, and I did it wrong." The saint sent the decree, which was a happy event, but you are not here, and I am not as happy as I thought, I always feel that something is missing, and my soul is not kept... But when I saw you today, that feeling of unsteadiness disappeared. I'm really... Reluctant. ”

Qingrong looked at his expression, and her heart couldn't help but relax, that bit of depression didn't seem to be as heavy as before, she said lightly: "You are wrong, but I don't forgive easily." Now is not the time for you and me to talk more about the private affairs of our children, I still remember what you said, what is the purpose of marching and fighting, and the purpose of going out is to protect the people, now that you have the opportunity, you must cherish and be cautious, do your duty as a general, and resist the enemy with peace of mind, and never be distracted at this time, if so, I will never forgive. ”

Xue Shao looked at her and actually laughed, "Hmm." ”

"But I'm sure you won't. You naturally understand which is more important. ”

"I am angry, but I still have expectations for you, and if you are the same, then I will wait here for your victory to return and make amends. But if you are determined and able to keep alongside me in this life, then I will immediately go to the government to submit a letter of reconciliation and departure, and inform the two elders that when you come back, we will be separated from each other. ”

"That's my attitude, I hope you know." Qingrong looked at him and smiled slightly: "Those who know their mistakes and don't change their mistakes, I won't give them a second chance." ”

Xue Shao took a step forward, and suddenly stepped forward to hug Qingrong and held her in his arms. He was reluctant to give up, and whispered: "Wait for me to come back!" ”

He said word by word: "When I come back, I will personally make amends to you until you are willing to forgive me, okay?" ”

Qingrong pushed him, but he didn't move, so she had no choice but to let him hold him.

"And when would you like to go home?"

Qingrong felt a little sour in his heart, and only after a while did he speak: "Let's talk about it." ”

Xue Shao buried his head in her neck when he heard this, sniffed her breath, and chuckled, "Then rest at home." ”

Qingrong was a little depressed, she reached out and pushed Xue Shao, "Quickly let go." ”

Xue Shao took a step back as he said, looking at her with deep eyes, "There is something I want to ask you, how did you ask me for the opportunity to fight?" ”

Speaking of this, Qingrong was angry in her heart, Qingrong didn't intend to hide it from him, then Japan was going to tell him, who knew that he actually said that to herself, thinking of this, she couldn't help but snort coldly.

Xue Shao smiled helplessly, surprisingly kind, "It's all mine, I hope the lady can tell me." ”

Qingrong didn't want to pay attention to him, and was afraid that telling him the news at this time would distract him, so he said: "I don't dare to take risks if I am not sure." When you triumph, I will tell you what happened, peace of mind. ”

Xue Shao looked at her, and his heart warmed, "Okay." Will you come and see me off the day after tomorrow? ”

This is the first time he has gone on an expedition since he got married, and of course he wants Qingrong to send him off.

Qingrong looked away, looked up at the bright full moon, and said, "I won't go." ”

Xue Shao was disappointed when he heard this, but after thinking about it, did he deserve it? didn't say anything that made her sad, and still had the luxury of expecting her to forgive herself immediately? He said, "It seems that I am right to come tonight to look for it." "Otherwise, wouldn't you have seen her before the expedition? I don't know when I will be able to come back this time, and it will take a year and a half if it is long.

At this time, when the night breeze is blowing, and there are still faint cicadas chirping in the courtyard, it is quiet all around, which makes people feel very calm. Qingrong's mood was also better, she smiled and said softly: "May this go safely." ”

The smile on Xue Shao's face suddenly deepened, he looked at Qingrong, and also looked sideways at the dark night sky, "With your words, I will come back safely." ”

……

That night, Xue Shao did not rest at Lu's house.

And Qingrong did not follow Xue Shao back to Xue's house, but still lived in Lu's house, and Xue Shao never came to her again since he came that night, and said to the outside world that Qingrong was unwell and was recuperating at home. After talking to Qingrong, he relaxed a little and concentrated on dealing with the matters to be prepared before the expedition.

Seeing that Qingrong was not there, Lu Shi couldn't help but feel weird, but Xue Shao looked like he was successful, so he didn't want to ask too much, after all, he didn't want to distract him by talking more at this time.

After the beginning of summer, the morning came earlier and earlier, but at the fifth watch, the sky was already clear and clear. The Xue family got up early, and after breakfast, they were ready to leave.

Although Qingrong said that he would not go to see him off, he still got up early that day.

She climbed the gate of Kaiyuan City, stood in an inconspicuous position, and recognized Xue Shao at a glance.

Qingrong looked at Xue Shao with a solemn expression and rode in front of him, he has been very busy these days, she knows it, but at this time he is not tired, he is very high-spirited, and even has a brightness and satisfaction that she has not seen for a long time... If the Xue family's status in the court is still the same as before, he may have a wider world...

Qingrong silently looked at the soldiers outside the city gate, and felt a little more strange in his heart, if he can become a generation of famous generals, then the days of waiting alone will only be more and more separated, Qingrong doesn't know for a while, should she be happy or lonely for this?

And Xue Shao, who was about to set off, quickly noticed the gaze on the city tower, and when he looked back, it was Qingrong!

He couldn't suppress the light corners of his mouth, she still came. But his gaze fell on Qingrong for only a moment, and after Qingrong nodded in response, he quickly withdrew his gaze and urged the horse forward.

Qingrong stayed alone on the Kaiyuan Gate, watching him set foot on the road to the border of the Western Regions, watching his back suddenly shrink into a black dot until he disappeared...

After a long time, Song Yue spoke: "Lady, let's go back." ”

Ah Zhen asked, "Go back to the Lu family or the Xue family?" ”

"Back to Lide Hall."
