Chapter 18 We must see each other
Before you know it, time flies.
Shuo is not there, the house seems to be unusually deserted, the maids are not even chatting in groups, the bustling courtyard every day, there are only butterflies left, and finally, with the advent of autumn, the butterflies will finally disappear one day, and then the grass and trees will wither, and the winter snow will drift away.
The four seasons of the year go by so quickly.
For more than half a year, the queen mother did not make a sound, as if she had completely forgotten Wu Ling, leaving Wu Ling to live alone in Shuofu.
She seems to have changed from a temporary residence to a long-term residence, but she has to admit that she has become accustomed to it, used to everything in this house, the sun rises and sets, spring goes to autumn.
Her favorite thing to do was to take out the two pianos given by Shuo in the moonlight, place them side by side, play the one with strings, and look at the one without strings.
Although the tune she plays is still staccato and staccato, she is content with the memories.
Shuo Na's story is right, it doesn't matter whether the hair of the piano makes a sound or not, what matters is whether the person who plays the piano has the sound of the piano in his heart.
The scene of that night has been intermittently appearing in her heart, closing her eyes and stroking the piano, even the occasional snowflakes on her hands, as if Shuo's cold hands swept by, made her open her eyes in horror.
Since Shuo left, Jin Rong no longer likes to go out of the house, and she has never heard of her being rude and unreasonable to any of her maids.
I heard an old lady in the house say that Jin Rong is actually a hard-working woman, she is not arrogant, but the emperor doesn't pay much attention to her, basically ignores her, and she just hopes to attract the emperor's attention, even if it is to criticize her a few words, it's fine.
Wu Ling didn't know what was going on between Jin Rong and Shuo, and when she asked about this, Mama only shook her head and sighed, and didn't say anything.
She guessed for a long time, but she didn't guess any answers, so she didn't guess at all, anyway, with her brain, it was impossible to guess anything.
In any case, Jin Rong seems to be deeply in love with Shuo, there is no doubt about that.
Xi also always came to her from time to time, but it seemed to be much quieter, every time he came to see her, the two of them were relatively silent, he held his fox, she was in a daze, the two sat quietly in the courtyard, watching the sun rise and sunset, and then went back to their respective homes.
Shangguan Yu also became a frequent visitor, just because Shuo told him when he left not to let Wu Ling be too lonely, so he took out all the ink in his stomach just to make Wu Ling smile from time to time.
Wu Ling was indeed looking forward to Shangguan Yu's arrival, but not because of his story, but because every time he came, he would bring news about Shuo.
Refusing to go to Guan Yu, Shuo studied hard since he was a child, was well versed in the art of war, and his brain was also bright, so he often made unexpected commands in strategy.
And Cang's martial arts are exquisite, and he also has his own set of methods for leading soldiers, so the number of elite soldiers under his command is increasing day by day, and they and their soldiers are sleeping and eating together, without the slightest arrogance as an emperor, and they are extremely loved.
In just over half a year, General Ma, a veteran general who had led the army for many years led by two young emperors, retreated in defeat and returned to his lair to recuperate, not mentioning the rebellion.
I believe that in the near future, it will be a decisive battle, and at that time, Shuo will return, right?
The moonlight is like practice, the stars are like frost, and the silver is sprinkled with snow, Wu Ling stood in front of the window, looking at the cold moonlight, thinking about the person she hadn't seen for half a year.
The moonlight is very good tonight, but the wind is cool to the bone, and I don't know when the silver light has already been wrapped outside the window, and the ethereal snow is sprinkled from the sky, corresponding to the moonlight, clear as silver brocade.
Wu Ling suddenly felt that since she saw Shuo, something began to emerge from the depths of her soul, and then she was entangled by this incomprehensible thought and could not breathe.
She actually looked at the scenery outside the window every day, but she still didn't know what day it was.
The wind, whistling by, brought up a snowflake that had already landed, swirled and fell.
Just like Wu Ling's heart, spinning, squirming by the wind, the whole heart hangs on the people on the battlefield thousands of miles away.
I still remember that half a year ago, he pinched his cheek and explained that he was waiting for him to return with peace of mind.
Wu Ling never knew that it was so painful to miss someone.
His shadow was his shadow every day, his silver eyes, his smile, his cunning gaze, his naughty shadow.
How can a person have so many faces? What does the real Shuo look like?
Wu Ling was confused, and then, thinking about it carefully, it doesn't really matter what the real Shuo looks like, the important thing is that no matter what kind of Shuo, it is her concern.
I don't know how long later, Wu Ling was suddenly attracted by a dark figure, this person was very fast, only swept in front of the window, and even in the heavy snow, there were no footprints.
Wu Ling has always been alert, her eyes will not be wrong, someone must have jumped in the distance just now, and then she used the spiritual power in her body and flew out to chase her.
It wasn't hard to chase a dark shadow in the snow, and after Wu Ling locked onto his target, he quickly intercepted him.
It was a man in a night suit, without the slightest fear after being stopped, with an inexplicable look of curiosity in his eyes, holding his chest and looking at Wu Ling who was blocking him for a long time.
This man is thin and slender, his slender body is wrapped in a night coat like a ghost, his face is not covered with a mask, his face is also thin and handsome and elegant, and his black hair is stained with some snowflakes, which shows that he has been wandering outside for a long time.
Diving in the middle of the night, he must not be a good person, but I don't know what his intentions are?
"Who are you?" Wu Ling asked in a deep voice, her aura lucked, and the red light in her hand shone brightly.
The man in black didn't answer, he was stunned when he saw the flame suddenly appearing in Wu Ling's hand, took two steps back, and then a cold light appeared in his hand, and he pulled out a long sword out of nowhere, and quickly attacked Wu Ling.
Since he didn't want to say it, then Wu Ling wouldn't say much, and his agile figure flashed, and he flashed the sword very quickly.
Seeing her flash, the man flipped the sword body like lightning and slashed horizontally again, Wu Ling raised his hand to block, and the spiritual power gathered between his fingers, so he lightly clamped the sharp long sword, and with a flick of his backhand, a spiritual power passed along the sword body, and he was shocked to withdraw the blade of the sword.
The man looked at the hilt of the sword that was still trembling, and even shook his tiger's mouth numbly, snorted lightly, withdrew the long sword, turned to one side, and two silver rays immediately came out of his hand and attacked Wu Ling's heart.
Wu Ling looked at the two hidden weapons with a chill, and her heart sank...... She gave him a chance, and he wanted her life, so don't blame her for being ruthless!
But seeing her standing upright, the two silver rays immediately pierced Wu Ling's heart, but there was no unexpected blood splashing, only a few flames poured out, coiled upward, and entangled towards the man.
Wu Ling's body moved at will, turning defense into attack, and attacked the man in black with the flames, the man hurriedly took a few steps back, but not as fast as Wu Ling, her clothes fluttered and her wrist flipped, and a fierce spiritual power invaded his body, and he spat blood from his mouth, and the flames on his body burned.
"You ......" He seemed to be surprised, the curiosity in his eyes turned to tremble in an instant, and a pair of sword eyebrows tightened.
Wu Ling frowned slightly, although he didn't have good intentions, he had also thought that if someone harmed himself, he would be merciless.
But the two hidden weapons stabbed in his chest were only three points into the flesh, but they did not carry any internal strength and toxins, but they reminded himself that he did not want his own life before, but only deliberately tried to test it, believing that he knew that she could avoid it completely, but he didn't expect that she didn't dodge at all.
And her spiritual fire burned on him at the moment, and he also clenched his teeth, looking unwilling and disbelieving.
Forget it, since she knew that his intentions were not harmful, there was no need for her to kill him.
Moreover, he did not have a mask on his face, nor did he see what he had stolen, but he was just dressed in night clothes and swept around the house, and if he killed people because of this, it seemed a little decisive.
Looking at the person in front of him who gritted his teeth and endured the scorching flames on his body, Wu Ling's heart softened, and he slowly stretched out his hand to withdraw the spiritual power and the fierce flame that had invaded his body.
The man saw that Wu Ling withdrew the flames that were burning violently on his body, and thought that he should have died here, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around, and he was stunned.
"Let's go." Wu Ling waved her hand, no longer intending to hurt him.
"Why save me?" The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, lowered his head and stroked the burned and missing clothes, shook it, stood up, there were still some blood marks on the corners of his mouth, and smiled slightly.
"Not why." Wu Ling lowered her head, she didn't know why she wanted to save him, maybe she didn't want to save him, she just didn't want to kill people casually.
Although over the years, her hands have long been covered with blood in the training of the queen mother, and she has frantically killed those innocent people again and again, but she does not want to watch a person burned alive by the flames released from her body while she is sober.
The fire was her iniquity, her innumerable iniquity.
"If so, then I owe the girl a life, and he will repay it one day!" He smiled softly again, raised his hand into a fist and saluted, his almost burnt sleeve falling to shreds with his movements.
"There is no need to reciprocate, please come openly and honestly in the future." Wu Ling also smiled, a little apologetic when she saw the burning marks on his body.
Repay something, it's not necessary, it's that she bullied others, but she was rewarded for it, which inevitably makes people laugh.
"Haha...... Please keep that in mind! He will see each other one day! He said this, and swept away, disappearing into the night.
Looking at the extremely fast figure, Wu Ling didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong, this person was very good, if he threatened Shuo and even Yunguo in the future, it would be better to kill him today.
But she relented after all, that's it, everything is fate after all.
If he really sees him again, he only wishes not to kill again.
After a while, Wu Ling lowered her head, lifted the hem of her skirt and looked at the place where she was standing, which had been melted into a puddle of snow by the high temperature under her feet, and frowned and sighed softly.
It seems that it is time to change shoes again......
