Under the moonlight, Shen did see Li Luansong leave.

In fact, when I first met Hong's Shen Cheng, I found her unusual identity, although Hong's was a woman, there were many calluses on her palms, especially at the first joints of the index finger and middle finger, which was quite unusual.

During the period when Shen Qu exchanged identities with Li Luansong, he learned that Li Luansong's hands had a lot of calluses, which were the marks left by his long-term martial arts practice.

Could it be that the Hong family is also a person who practices martial arts?

After observation, Shen did confirm this idea, behind Hong's heavy makeup and glamorous makeup was a strong and powerful figure and vigorous skills, which she accidentally discovered when she couldn't sleep and sat by the window to admire the moon one night.

It was the middle of the night, and Hong was practicing swords in black, and she was heroic and athletic under the moonlight, and she was fascinated by it.

At that time, she had a lot of guesses about Hong's identity, until Li Luansong appeared at the door of the hot spring inn, and Shen did see Hong's eyes looking at him, which was a respectful, obedient and cautious expression.

At that time, she had roughly guessed their relationship, and the Hong family should be Li Luansong's subordinate.

Therefore, when the Hong family said that the owner of the hot spring inn was Li Luansong, Shen was not very surprised.

When they met again the next day, Shen did throw this question directly to Li Luansong.

The two sat in the private room of the teahouse, the fragrance of tea overflowed, and a small young leaf in the teacup gradually stretched out when it was hot water, like a flat boat wandering on the boundless river.

It's been more than a year since the last time I sat down and drank tea so calmly.

"The inn was indeed my idea, and it was originally intended to house the families of the soldiers who had died in Soto and the female soldiers who had been discharged from the army, and I had never asked them anything about it. Later, they were able to do better and better business, and occasionally they could get some information along the way. ”

He lowered his eyes and smiled, pinched the teacup with his long fingers and sipped slowly, "I didn't know where Liang Fan would take you in advance, as for the business dealings, I have never asked, Hong Niang's willingness to cooperate with you is also her idea, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Shen Qu nodded silently, one yard to one yard, this is business, she will not be involved in business because of the relationship between the two.

Outside the window, the sky is bright and cloudy, and if you look closely, you can see that the clouds are still moving slowly.

Shen Qu retracted his gaze and said straight to the point: "Today, I asked His Highness to tell His Highness that I am leaving, and I am busy with things in Soto, and I am going to leave here." ”

Li Luansong paused for a moment and raised her eyes to look at her, no other expressions could be seen on her ruddy and fair face, she was very indifferent.

"Are you going back to Daye?" He asked, "I also want to go back, we can be together, this bumpy road is not very smooth, I can protect you." ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, no need." Shen Cheng said, "I'm going to take a detour and go to my father by the way, and we'll go back together slowly." ”

She spoke softly, calmly, without asking, just informing.

"Okay, I know you'll answer like that, but I can't help but want to ask you again." Li Luansong sneered, then looked up and asked her again: "Yuanyuan, you really won't forgive me, I'm willing to change everything for you, if you see my changes, will you reconsider me." ”

Shen Qu shook his head, "Qi Dafei, my fate with His Royal Highness was bizarre, but I am very grateful, now that the fate has ended, now I just want to live my life and do what I need to do, I have no interest in those things that do not belong to me." My heaven and earth are small, and Your Highness's heaven and earth are very large, and we all have our own missions, besides, ......"

She paused for a moment, as if she had made a lot of determination, before she said slowly: "Some things happen just happen, I can't pretend that it hasn't happened." ”

Yes, he had hurt her, and that was indelible.

Li Luansong nodded silently.

"I understand, but I still hope that you can think carefully and carefully about the future, I don't force you, you think slowly, I just want you to know that I will always wait for you, in Daye, in the same place waiting for you." Li Luansong decided not to entangle anymore and continued: "Since you don't want to go back with me, then everything is up to you, from now on, I will not force you and ignore your feelings and opinions as I did in the past. In just a few days, it's time for me to set off and go back to Daye, there are still too many things to deal with over there. ”

He raised his head and looked at the floating clouds in the sky: "You have to remember that Li Luansong will always be waiting for you." However, I don't want to put pressure on you, so I will go back to do what I have to do, and I can't let everyone say that I have wasted political affairs and delayed my future because of you, I will let everyone know that because of you, Li Luansong is getting better and better. ”

Shen Qu looked up at him, his eyebrows were clear, chic and handsome, and with a faint smile on his face, he looked more and more calm and determined.

He seems to have changed.

"Your Royal Highness is going to be in charge now, the crown princess is undecided, the courtiers and the people will not be at ease, this is Your Highness's private matter and national policy, this is a serious matter, Your Highness should not have obsession."

Li Luansong smiled: "I'm willing to wait for you all the time, isn't this a serious matter." I will sit in a high position and do everything I have to do as they wish, and try to do my best, but I also want to choose the woman I love to accompany me for a lifetime, instead of planning marriage and scheming life for the sake of the people and the national policy, so what's the point. ”

"I won't persuade you anymore, and you won't persuade me anymore."

Shen Qu nodded silently, since that's the case, then don't say much.

After a while, Li Luansong got up, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Shen Qu: "This is what I carry with me, the border of Daye is not very peaceful now, it may be able to help you pass the checkpoint smoothly." ”

Shen really wanted to excuse himself, he said: "You don't have to refuse, I just lend it to you, and when you return to Jin'an, you can send someone to return it to me." We are also acquaintances no matter how we say it, and besides, there are many inconveniences on the road for the two of you, so stay. ”

That's right, Shen really thought about it, and there was no need to be hypocritical, so he saluted and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness, I hope Your Highness will cherish it on the road and everything will go well." ”

Li Luansong said: "I didn't insist on taking you away because I respect you, my smoothness will only have you by your side, you can do what you want, I will go back to the same place and wait for you, I only want you in this life, this is my heart, you can't stop it, but I also want you to see a Li Luansong who has changed and knows how to respect you." ”

The jade pendant was warm and delicate in her hand, looking at Li Luansong's departing back, Shen did stand in place for a long time, she put the jade pendant on her lower abdomen until she couldn't see him.

On that day, Li Luansong left with a large army, and left her with a stamped customs clearance paperwork, some necessary medicinal materials, and enough silver for the road in the hut where Shen Qu lived.

Shen Cheng packed up his baggage and was worrying about what to do with these things, and outside the door, Mutam stepped into the moonlight.

"Li Luansong is gone, Master." His voice sounded a little excited, "I heard he came to you today." ”

Shen did say yes, "He resigned with me, and I am leaving." ”

Mutam was stunned for a moment, and then saw that everything had been packed up.

"Master, you can wait a few more days, I invited you here, but I haven't been able to accompany you around."

"Or, tomorrow, tomorrow, let's go to my father, Khan, and mother, and discuss Soto's business."

"And, there's ...... And doesn't the master want to open a shop, let's go and have a look and choose a place. ”

"Master......"

Mutam was so anxious that he was a little incoherent, and his face was oozing with light sweat because of his anxiety.

"Amu." Shen Qu pulled him to sit down, "Liang Fan has already taken me to finish what you said in the past two days, and as for Soto's business, you have already given me the contract, and we have done everything we should do." ”

"But ......"

"I know what you're trying to say, Amu, and I'm grateful to you. Without you, there would be no development in Sotho, no Daye would have survived the difficulties, I really thank you, I think we can always get along like this, be the best friends, be the strongest partners, help each other, never give up. ”

Under the candlelight, the woman in front of him looked at him with a pair of burning apricot eyes and a tearful smile, and the words in his heart had not yet been spoken, and she had blocked all the words.

Mutam hung his head in disappointment, tears welling up, and his heart was sour.

He had never officially expressed his heart to Shen Qu, but she had already seen that now, she was leaving, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say anymore.

"Amu." Shen Qu took his hand, "I treat you as your best friend, so I want you to be happy and happy, you have your responsibilities to bear, find a girl you like and the right person to settle the marriage, someone is by your side, and no matter how big the difficulties are, you can get through." ”

"Master, you know my heart for you." He finally couldn't help but say, "Didn't you ever think about me?" ”

Shen Qu shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm sure you can figure it out." ”

This can be regarded as a clear refusal, there is no hope.

"Master, can I hug you?"

Shen Qu nodded, opened his arms, and Mutam held her tightly in his arms.

A feeling I never felt before, for the first time, and for the last time.

It turns out that she is really as petite and delicate as she looks, as soft as her name, and fragrant.

"Master, I listen to you."

Mutam choked up a little, "I wish Master will definitely be happy, and I will never forget Master in this life." ”

"Okay, I promise you." Shen Qu patted his back gently, and gave up helplessly in the wide, stiff and stiff way.

Life is like this, coming and going, gathering and dispersing, the people around us are always changing, and the only thing that remains unchanged is ourselves.

In the distance, an eagle soars in the night sky, so lonely and so determined.
