Hearing this, several good-looking maidservants hurriedly walked over, whispering, and surrounded Pei Xiaoyuan to lead him to change clothes. Pei Xiaoyuan took a step back slightly and declined. Yu Wenzhi was no longer reluctant, but only said with concern: "Si Cheng is a busy man, unlike me, who has nothing to do all day long, so he has to fight cocks as a pastime." How can you get out of the city tonight? But what's the matter? ”

Pei Xiaoyuan looked at her.

"You go away." Su Yu spoke at this time.

Yu Wenzhi showed displeasure on his face and did not move.

Su Yu turned to him and frowned.

He immediately turned to laugh, and said in a somewhat coquettish and somewhat begging tone: "Let's go, I'll listen to you!" He really went, but he didn't go away completely, and leaned against a pillar under the nearby verandah.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Su Yu asked Pei Xiaoyuan at this time.

Pei Xiaoyuan paused, and when he met her eyes that looked bright like stars in the night, he said, "It's not important, it's just ...... Today I went to see my father's old family, and I heard from them that someone had already visited them yesterday in the name of my mother. ”

"Zhang Shun said, you asked him these things."

Su Yu was stunned.

Ever since Qingtou learned about the arrival of Cui Niangzi's death day, she has been worried about it. Even if she didn't care about anything else, even if it was just out of memory of Cui Niangzi and General Shenhu, she felt that she should do something.

There was no need for her at the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and she thought of the people behind the group of soldiers of the Divine Tiger Army who died with Pei's father. Even Father Pei himself has not been fully justified until now, let alone his subordinates.

She remembered another incident at the beginning of her entry into the palace, behind the Shenshu Palace, on the day when Chengping and Yuwenzhi fought.

I remember that he once told her that if something happened, she could go to the palace eunuch named Zhang Shun. Obviously, the other party was an old friend of the Pei family, so she inquired about it, and sure enough, she asked.

What she didn't expect was that he would find out about it so quickly and find out.

"I told Zhang Shun not to say it—" she muttered, with chagrin and an unspeakable sense of unease and shame from the bottom of her heart.

"It has nothing to do with him. I asked him to say it. Pei Xiaoyuan stared at her, "Thank you." ”

"This is what the court should do. It was the court that failed them. Why do you thank me? I've done my part, and it's not enough. She said. That's what she really said.

He was silent for a moment, remembering the lively scene he had seen during the day, the joy of the people there, and smiled: "In any case, you have helped a lot. I still want to thank you. ”

Su Yu could hear the sincere gratitude in his words, which made the shame in her heart because of her natural identity finally fade a little. However, after he said this, he fell silent. She was speechless for a moment, and stood with him relatively silent for a moment, and she noticed a drop of crystal water slowly oozing from the black sideburns in front of his forehead, rolling down his full forehead, and disappearing into his eyebrows.

"You're soaked! Come with me, change your clothes first! She was shocked and hurriedly said, but when she saw him hesitate, she immediately said, "I'm fine." Your Majesty is about to travel, and he is busy......"

He looked up and glanced at the sky.

"The rain has stopped, and we can go on the road. It's not early, you go to sleep, leave me alone. ”

From here to Chang'an, it is said that it is not far, forty or fifty miles away, but it is said that it is close, and it is indeed not close. It was so late, the road was still muddy, he didn't even change his wet clothes, and he was in a hurry to rush back.

Su Yu didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at him.

Pei Xiaoyuan nodded to her with a smile, then took a step, turned around and walked out.

She seems to be quite comfortable here, Yu Wenzhi is also considerate of serving her, even if he leaves it cheekily tonight, it will only increase the embarrassment. It's better to go back here, tomorrow she will be escorted back to the city by Zhang Dunyi.

Pei Xiaoyuan had indeed made up his mind, and at this time, Yu Wenzhi under the pillar walked back, and Pei Xiaoyuan heard him shouting behind him: "Is Pei Sicheng leaving?" Then I won't send it! Good on the road! ”

Pei Xiaoyuan couldn't hear it, Yu Wenzhi's tone was full of mockery. But with his self-cultivation, he will not be as knowledgeable as him. He ignored it, as if he hadn't heard it. However, then, when Yu Wenzhi's whispering that turned into flattery faintly reached his ears with the wind, his steps couldn't help but slow down a little.

Yuwen Zhi glanced at the departing back, didn't care anymore, turned to the rain, pulled out the begonia from his waist, sniffed it, threw it away, and said: "This begonia is not fragrant at all, it's not good!" No wonder you don't. In the early years, when you lived in my house, there was a tree outside the bedroom window, and the flowers were very fragrant, and I remember you painted it. I see it here during the day, and I'll break a few sticks for you, put it on your tent, and sleep with you at night, it's fragrant and sweet, and it smells much better than the incense burned, and you'll like it......"

Yu Wenzhi spoke to her in a very soft voice, almost like a private whisper, but it did not escape Pei Xiaoyuan's ears.

Every word, even breathing and ventilation, he could hear it clearly.

He had already walked to the door of the courtyard of the banquet hall, stopped slowly at this moment, turned around, and saw Yuwen Xiao'er coaxing her in, closely accompanying her, the relationship between the two looked extremely intimate.

Further inside, behind the door of the banquet hall, there were faintly several figures shaking. Or the people in the academy are still snooping.

No wonder they reacted that way.

The people in the academy are different from him, and they don't know the inside story of Yu Wenzhi and her. In their eyes, the scene that was staged in the banquet hall tonight was shocking, and it was not an exaggeration.

Pei Xiaoyuan's eyes couldn't help but appear in front of him, what he had just seen, Yu Wenzhi dancing with a sword in front of her.

Even Pei Xiaoyuan had to admit that Yuwen Xiaoer's sword dance was both rigid and soft, and it was smooth, not to mention, his last wanton style of picking flowers and offering beauties with a sword, not everyone could do it.

And this may be the biggest missing piece of his life.

"Let's go inside! It's windy outside! Oops, beware of wet feet! There's a puddle over there, why don't you even look at it! Come and go my side......"

Pei Xiaoyuan saw Yu Wenzhi stretching out his hand towards her, and he was about to hold her.

At this moment, Pei Xiaoyuan didn't know what was wrong with him, as if for a long time, all the various emotions hidden in the depths of his chest suddenly burst out at this time, when Yu Wenzhi reached out to her to help her.

He didn't think about it, there was only one thought left in his heart, and that was not to allow her to stay here anymore.

He's going to take her away, right now.

He turned around and walked back, and the sound of heavy boot steps under his feet alarmed the rain that had slowly turned around and went inside, and also caused Yu Wenzhi to look back.

In the middle of his eyes, he strode behind her, grabbed her hand with his arm, and dragged her from Yu Wenzhi's side. Next, he summoned Zhang Dunyi, who was still nearby.

"Your Majesty summoned her for something else, I'll take her first! It's not too late for you to slowly return to the city tomorrow! ”

He gave a simple explanation to Zhang Dunyi, who was rushing in surprise, and under the gaze of many pairs of eyes behind him, he led her out of the door of the other courtyard.

Jin Wuqi waited quietly outside the door, and suddenly saw the master appear, excitedly nodded his hooves, and made a soft sound.

It wasn't until he got here that he let go of her wrist. Then, he lifted her up, put her on the horse, jumped up with her, sat behind her, and vibrated the reins in the shouts of Yu Wenzhi in the door, urged the horse, and left along the road at the foot of the mountain.

Behind him, Yu Wenzhi quickly caught up.

After the rainstorm, the night cleared, and the moonlight emerged from behind the dark clouds that swirled in the wind and kept changing shapes, shining on the people on the ground.

Yu Wenzhi's mount is naturally a first-class divine horse, but compared to the Golden Crow, the foot strength is still worse after all. The weight of the pair didn't slow him down. Yu Wenzhi was left farther and farther away, and he began to curse angrily. Pei Xiaoyuan scolded himself after listening to him, "shameless dogs" and "Northwest thieves", he was silent, but his mood was rarely happy. Naturally, these scoldings gradually became softer, and finally, completely disappeared from his ears.

He continued to ride his horse, and all that remained in his ears was the whirring sound of the night wind through the forest. After a little further progress, and making sure that no one would catch up with him, he slowly loosened the reins of his horse, and finally stopped.

This place is far away from the courtyard, down the foothills. Surrounded by a fir forest, high and low, in the dark night, it seemed as if a barrier with a spire surrounded him and her in the center.

It was very quiet, except for a few long cries of night owls in the distance, and the sound of the night wind passing through the nearby treetops.

At this time, she sat in front of him and suddenly moved, as if she was looking around, the top of her hair gently rubbing against his chin. This casual and brief touch of skin and hair suddenly made Pei Xiaoyuan wake up——— since she was forcibly taken away from that place by his hand, until this moment, she didn't seem to have made a sound.

Not only that, but immediately afterward, he realized another thing. That's what he did tonight, Meng Lang and recklessly. He took her out without her consent.

After hesitating, he looked at the person in front of him who was still riding with him, tentatively, and called her softly: "Princess? ”

No response.

Was she annoyed?

He slowly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and was about to dismount and excuse her for his offense against her, when a soft sneer suddenly came from his ears.

"Scared?"

Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned.

"Aren't you very bold? Is there something else Your Majesty summoned her? When did I, Aye, tell you to take me back? ”

With the ensuing teasing, she turned her face to look at him behind her, who was riding with her.

The moonlight poured from the top of her head like silver frost, and her eyes reflected the moon, shining as if many fine stones had fallen into it. Her tone was reproachful and sarcastic, but the corners of her lips were clearly slightly upturned, and she smiled significantly.

Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but settle on the two lips under his eyelids that were talking to him.

What will it taste like when they suck it?

Is it as cool as the moonlight tonight, or as sweet as the mulberry flowers she likes?

When Pei Xiaoyuan realized that his soul was thinking about something, his heart beat violently, and the person also came to his senses completely.

He did not dare to reveal too much, lest she should be aware of his thoughts, which must not be known, so he quietly dismounted, so as to stay away from her, and then, calmly, "It's my fault." The princess shouldn't have been brought out. ”

"If it's wrong, what should I do?" However, she didn't seem to want to let him go, and listened carefully, and her tone was still a little ridiculous.

"The princess can punish her." He hesitated, but finally followed her tone and answered softly.

When he had finished, he did not hear her reply, but looked up at her, and saw her sitting high on horseback, looking down at himself, and for a moment suddenly stretched out his hand to him and asked him for a whip.

"Give it to me!"

Puzzled, but without asking, he handed the whip over. She took it, threw a few whips in the air, about too long, circled around the palm of her hand a few times, and shook it again, as if satisfied, and then ordered him to turn around.

He was still puzzled, but he still obeyed.

With a crisp "snap", the whip gently pumped on his back.

His pores had become closed and numb on his back that had been covered in damp clothes for most of the night. This is just a teasing whip, it doesn't hurt, it brings a slight itching feeling, however, Pei Xiaoyuan's spine is like being burned by a red-burning iron, his pores are angry, his scalp is numb, and his cold hairs stand on end in an instant. He snorted. Then he heard her chuckle again behind him, and said, "That's it! That's it for now, if you dare to do it next time-"

He couldn't bear it any longer, turned his face, raised his arm suddenly, grabbed the horsewhip in her hand with five fingers, and pulled it with force, she was caught off guard, and the whole person was led to tilt towards him. Had it not been for him supporting her under the horse at this moment, she would have fallen off the horse.

"Pei Er, you-"

She let out a low, frightened voice of displeasure, and suddenly collided with two of his gazes, and the sound stopped abruptly.

Now she sat on the back of the horse, leaning over to face him, and he stood under the horse, grasping the whip in her hand with one hand, tilting his back slightly, his eyes fixed on her, and the darkness flickered in the depths. So close to him, Su Yu felt the scorching breath from him clearly on his cheeks.

Long.

"It's too late. You're soaking wet, go find someone nearby, and spend the night for the time being. ”

Suddenly, Su Yu said softly, and there was no struggle.

As she spoke, she felt the force of the whip that had forced her to him slowly relax.

"Just do as the princess commands."

After a few moments, she heard him answer her in a low voice, and then, as if nothing had happened. He gave her back the whip, straightened her with outstretched arms, and sat her back in the saddle. He no longer got on the horse and rode with her, but led the horse forward for her, and walked out of the woods under the moonlight.

In the second half of the night, he took the rain and stayed at the house of the old man who delivered water in the past.

The old man came out in the barking of dogs, recognized that it was the two of them coming, was surprised, invited people in, saw Pei Xiaoyuan's clothes were wet, and hurriedly called his grandson Chou'er to burn the hearth, so that the guests could bake clothes, and let the house where he and his grandson slept with them out, and his grandson went to sleep in the utility room next to the stove.

Pei Xiaoyuan looked at Su Yu, obviously asking her what he meant.

Originally, it shouldn't be disturbing people late at night, how can it still occupy the main family's bedroom. Su Yu shook his head, Pei Xiao Yuan understood, turned to the old man, and asked his grandson to take care of himself and go to sleep.

The old man asked again and again, but when he saw that the two of them should not, he had to give up and move in a bamboo bed from the outside, saying that it was for the open air to cool off, and it was just right for them to use it tonight.

"There's just one bed in the house. It's narrower, and if you want to be wronged, you can only squeeze through the night. The old man looked at the two of them and was very upset.

Pei Xiaoyuan didn't make a sound, only subconsciously looked at Su Yu, she had already said to the old man that it was okay. At this time, the ugly child ran in with a wooden plate, and there were a few breads on the plate. He stood on tiptoe, held high above his head, and handed it to his guests.

The old man also had to make food for them. Su Yu came out after the dinner party, and he was not hungry, but he suspected that Pei Xiaoyuan might not have eaten last night because he was out of the city. But he also said that he was not hungry, and told the old man not to bother, so she just gave up. At this moment, I saw that ready-made food was delivered, and I hurriedly took it. Seeing the ugly child shaving his head for the summer, his head became smooth, and only a circle of hair was left on the top of his head, like a teapot lid, and he looked very cute, so he couldn't help it, and touched his head with his hand, which made the ugly child hide behind his grandfather shyly. The old man smiled and explained that there was nothing else to eat at home, but fortunately, the dough was freshly made during the day, used as dry food, and it was clean, and if the guests were hungry, they could be used to fill their stomachs.

Su Yu thanked him again and again, and asked his grandson to go and rest. The old man looked at her and Pei Xiaoyuan and nodded.
