A Thousand Hills Indigo Section 126
It was getting dark. She sat alone in a makeshift tent waiting for news.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the fire in the dark night, the camp was dark. The guards were armed with waist knives and patrolled back and forth around her tent by the moonlight.
You can't start a fire, and naturally you can't keep warm. In the mountains and forests on the early winter night, the cold wind is blowing, and the body feels no different from the harsh winter. The soup woman who was brought out from the last post station to warm her arms and hands was already cold, and Yang Zaien, who was traveling with her, was afraid that her hands would be cold, so she took out a fox fur cloak, sent it and put it on Su Yu's shoulder, and whispered to persuade her to cover it and sleep first.
"These days, I am always in a hurry, eating and sleeping, the princess is relieved to squint for a while, and when Princess Funing picks her back, the slave will wake up the princess."
Su Yu did feel a little tired.
For some reason, or because of the weather, she has been quite sleepy lately. But at a time like this tonight, how could she possibly sleep. Even if everything is in order on Lu Wenjun's side, she can rest assured, thinking that after tonight, that person will be out of the customs, and it is very likely that she will have to deal with Li Yan's group of people who must be well prepared, she is worried.
She believed in his abilities. But believing in him and thinking about him are completely unrelated feelings, and they are not contradictory.
Since that day he returned to Yongning House, the two agreed on this plan, after she entered the palace, until tonight, nearly a month, in order to make the rumor that "the princess and the concubine have a disagreement, and the concubine's status may not be guaranteed", she endured it and never met him again. He also didn't take the initiative to mention meeting her privately. The only connection between the two is the back and forth of messages.
Some time ago, Pei Ji also issued three concerts to plead guilty for his nephew's matter. If it weren't for the Holy Order, others would have come by themselves. He also begged the king of Ning to protect him, insisting that there must be a misunderstanding, and begged the emperor to investigate again and not to convict him prematurely. The Emperor finally seemed to waver slightly, but he still had no anger and still did not resume his daily movement and position. What the future holds, it is even more uncertain.
According to the plan, he should "buy the personnel to quietly go out of Chang'an to come here to make an appointment, and the idea of sneaking out of the checkpoint and discussing major matters with Li Yan".
Su Yu knew that he should be nearby, but he didn't know where. Is it to rest under an ancient tree with frost at night, or to take advantage of the moon to hurry, walking on the rugged ancient post road?
Thinking that he would go out tomorrow to face the enemy, she suddenly felt a burst of irritability and longing in her heart.
She wanted to see him, so much.
It's been a long time since I've seen him. In less than a month, it seemed like a year had passed in her place.
was impetuous, and wanted to go out of the tent to relieve his emotions, but suddenly Yang Jaeen's familiar footsteps sounded again. Through the tent door, I heard him whisper, "Princess, here comes the colt." ”
Su Yu's heart trembled, and as soon as he took the ground, he stood up his legs from the ground, and quickly lifted the tent and got out of the head, but Yang Zaien, who had not yet reacted, was startled, and hurriedly took a step back to show her the direction.
In front of you, there is a forest overgrown with wild bamboo. The bamboo tips are shallow and shallow and leak the moon. Under the forest reflecting the light snow-like moonlight, a figure stood quietly.
She suppressed the sudden rush of joy in her heart, and almost rushed towards him in small steps.
He seemed a little surprised by her reaction, and quickly took a few steps towards her.
"How did you come?"
After meeting each other and following him into the bamboo forest again, she resisted the urge to throw herself into his arms and hug him, and asked in a low voice.
"You're going to pick up Wen Jun tonight, and I'm ready to go out, so I happened to be passing by nearby, so I stopped by to take a look." He bowed his head slightly, looking at her in response.
It turned out that he didn't come to see her before leaving the customs. A faint hint of disappointment passed through her heart. When he recalled the day he parted a month ago, when he woke up, the arm that was clearly raised to her, but finally somehow lowered, this sense of disappointment was more and more superimposed, and even turned into melancholy.
She didn't know why his insignificant and perhaps meaningless random body movements that day would make her linger, and at this moment inappropriately came to her mind.
But she quickly dispelled these inexplicable distractions. Following his words, he looked around the camp outside the bamboo forest and said, "Don't worry, my side is well arranged, there are a lot of people, and there will be no mistakes." It's you, after you get out of the customs, you can't follow people around, you must be more careful! ”
Pei Xiao Yuanzhi knew that the person in charge of her side was Zhang Dunyi, who was sent by Han Kerang, and he had been a deacon several times before, so he was indeed trustworthy.
He was silent for a moment, nodded, and then looked up again, glancing up at the moon hanging over the bamboo forest.
"That's good. I'm fine, it's time to go. ”
"It's windy and cold at night, and there are still some times before we pick up people, so I don't have to wait for it. You go get some sleep first. He unconsciously uttered a very soft voice as he commanded her.
Su Yu's melancholy bad mood dissipated at once.
She nodded, and saw two figures standing faintly outside the bamboo forest from a distance, knowing that his attendants were waiting.
She watched him turn and leave when she suddenly stopped him, went up, and touched his hand.
His clothes were not thick enough, and in such weather, he only had a jacket and a cloak.
As she thought, his hands, which had always been dry and warm, now felt as cold as rough stones. I think it's caused by riding a horse and blowing the night wind.
So she took off her fox cloak and put it on him.
"No, I don't. I wear this with limited mobility. You just wear it. ”
He took it off, wrapped the fox fur back around her shoulders, and carefully tied her tie. She was once again overwhelmed by the fox fur, and only one face was still exposed. She took the two hands he was busy tying her with the palms of her palms, brought them to her mouth, and took a few breaths of warmth on his fingers.
He finally laughed. Su Yu felt like he hadn't laughed like this in a long time. There was no moon in the forest, but his eyes were clear, and when he smiled, his eyes shimmered like a faint star.
His hands were really cold. She was distressed. Glancing back in the direction of the barracks, she took him by the hand and led him deeper into the darker corner of the woods, and then led his two hands under the collar of the fox fur, and put them into the soft and warm hem of his own clothes.
"Warm your hands! When your hands are warmer, it's not too late to go! She stood on tiptoe slightly, pressed her lips to his ear, and whispered.
Thankfully, it was dark enough that he couldn't see her cheeks, which were actually slightly hot.
Pei Xiaoyuan was motionless at first, his hands passively paused in the warm and soft clothes, and after a while, his fingers woke up like a startle, trembled, and then slowly withdrew, but did not leave her immediately, and continued to pass under her armpits, hugging her.
And so, he hugged her quietly for a moment, and then suddenly he gave her a short but powerful hug, and then let go, and withdrew his hand and arm from under the warm coat that was full of her body temperature.
"Rest assured, princess! I went first. ”
He said softly, then walked out of the forest quickly, and quickly left with two followers.
Su Yu's cheeks were still a little feverish, and he stopped in the forest for a while, and when his mood completely calmed down, he sorted out his clothes and returned to the tent.
She lay in the tent with her clothes, closed her eyes, and quietly waited for Lu Wenjun to return. At about midnight, I suddenly heard Yang Jaeen's voice ringing outside the tent again.
Only this time, he seemed a little panicked.
Just now, a confidant in the post station in front of him came with news that Lu Wenjun suddenly changed his mind and refused to leave, on the grounds that if the stand-in was detected early, the plan would fail. Now that it's out, it's better for her to stick to the end.
"What should I do?" Yang Jae-eun was undecided for a while.
Suyu quickly woke up from her amazement. Without hesitation, the decision was made quickly.
After a while, she quickly gathered her long hair, changed into the clothes of the palace eunuch, abandoned the car and rode on horseback, and hurried towards the Eagle Sorrow Post in front of her.
Chapter 122
In the middle of the night, the inn, which had been busy all night due to the reception of nobles, finally completely restored its tranquility. The lights were dim around, except for the royal guards who were on duty in shifts, patrolling around the inn, and all the rest of the people gradually fell asleep because of the hard work of the day.
In one of the main rooms in the east hall of the inn, the lights were still on at this hour. Lu Wenjun was neatly dressed, sitting on the couch, holding a pair of scissors, aiming a sharp tip at his throat, and staring at several of Yuan's henchmen who were kneeling hard to persuade her to leave.
Her expression was a little pale, but her eyes were so calm that she didn't look like a girl of sixteen or seventeen.
Su Yu went straight in from the hidden path that was originally for Lu Wenjun to leave to the backyard of the post house, and came to the door, and this was the scene in front of him.
From beginning to end, Lu Wenjun didn't make any noise, only said a word, dared to take her away forcibly, and she ended up with herself first. She doesn't look like she's scaring people. This is also quite tricky. Whether it was Lu Wenjun's accident or the obstruction of his plan, it was something he couldn't afford alone, so he had no choice but to send the news over.
?? Lu Wenjun didn't know that Su Yu also came out, and when he saw her appear, his eyes widened in surprise, and then he noticed that her eyes fell on her hand that was holding the scissors, and her delicate face couldn't help but fade away, and the hand that had been confronting the scissors for a long time couldn't help but become weak, and slowly lowered her arms.
However, the tip of the cut was only a few points lower than his neck, and when he saw the rain walking towards him, he immediately stood up again.
"Don't come here!" She let out a cry of pain.
"One more step and I'll be ...... It's really not alive anymore! ”
Su Yu stopped and motioned for all the people in the house to go out. When the door was closed, only she and Lu Wenjun were left, smiling and asking, "What's wrong with you?" Didn't you say yes before you left, and you would go back here? Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”
"I said it. If the person who replaced me is discovered, the whole plan will fall through. It's a mistake I made in the past, and I want to make amends! ”
She was beaten.
"You came to me and told me about it, and I made up my mind to do it. I didn't say it at the time because I knew that you and my mother would not agree. You don't have to persuade me anymore, I won't change my mind! Anyway, tonight, either I die here, or you let me continue on the road tomorrow, what to do, what I do, it will never hurt your business! ”
"I see. Wenjun, you have such a responsibility at a young age, it's really rare......"
Su Yu persuaded so slowly, and she had already made up her mind in her heart, waiting for the opportunity to take the scissors in her hand, and immediately forcibly took her away.
When she arrived at the couch, she gazed at the girl, slowly raised her hand, and stretched it out to her.
"You give me the scissors first."
"Have you ever thought about how your aunt would be sad if you really hurt your life like this? After you left the palace a few days ago, I saw my aunt crying alone behind the palace gate. She's worried about you. If something happens to you, she's the first one to fall. You don't care about yourself, don't you even care about her? I also promised her that I would personally take you back and return it to her, and if you hurt yourself so easily, how can I explain to her? ”
Lu Wenjun's eyes gradually reddened.
While she was distracted, Su Yu snatched the scissors away, threw them away, and then grabbed her wrist.
"Wenjun, you are obedient, you are really not needed here. It's enough for you to have such a mind, and you don't need to blame yourself any more, and no one blames you—"
Su Yu persuaded her and suppressed her. Lu Wenjun woke up at this time, struggling indiscriminately, Su Yu was a little unable to hold it down, turned his head and was waiting to call someone in, his hand unintentionally touched her waist, he was stunned, stopped, took a look, and stretched out his hand.
"What else are you hiding?"
"Nothing!" She shook her head hurriedly and crawled back.
"Take it out."
Su Yu had already guessed what the thing she was hiding close to her was, and when she thought of her actions tonight, she suddenly realized.
Her expression was no longer as gentle as it had been a moment.
"Is it a knife? Give me! ”
Lu Wenjun was shocked by the rare fierceness she revealed, and was stunned, shrunk for a moment, and stopped struggling.
Su Yu reached her waist, opened an embroidered skirt, and pulled out a knife from under her tight belt.
This small knife is not long enough feet, the beads are loaded with jade targets, firmly attached to the waist and bound, when it is taken out, Su Yu saw that a piece of Lu Wenjun's snow-white skin and flesh has been embedded with a deep red knife-like mark.
Obviously, this was not something that was hidden a moment and a half ago.
Holding the knife, she slowly raised her head and looked at the girl on the couch with a somewhat incredulous gaze.
"What do you want to do, Wenjun? Do you want to ......" she paused.
Lu Wenjun slowly lowered his neck and said nothing.
All of a sudden, the rain understood.
No wonder she suddenly changed her mind and had to stay. No, it should be said that at the beginning, she agreed to come down with this idea.
After the initial surprise, Su Yu's heart swelled with infinite pity.
Lu Wenjun's shoulders trembled slightly at this time. Su Yu gently hugged her.
"Wenjun, you are so stupid! Why can't you think so much about risking your own life? He doesn't deserve it! ”
Lu Wenjun couldn't hold back any longer, turned his head and threw himself into Su Yu's arms, crying while choking up: "I'm not reconciled...... Really unwilling! I hate that I was blind and could have looked at such a jackal! He deceived me, and he used me to betray the Holy Pilgrimage! Let him go like this, I will not be at ease in my life! I have to kill him with my own hands to quench my hatred!" I'm going to die, I can't let him live and just leave!"
"You want revenge, yes, but it's too dangerous, how can you be his opponent? Be obedient, go back with me first, and let's wait for news together. Don't worry, the court treats his father and son well, but he betrayed and colluded with careerists, how could he just let the tiger return to the mountain and let him go back to plot something unfavorable to the court after he returned? ”
Once Li Yan appears, Yingchou Pass will also bury people in front of the way to Chengping's return to the north, and detain him at that time. This is also part of the plan. Naturally, there is no need to tell Lu Wenjun in detail about this kind of thing.
Lu Wenjun's eyes widened and looked at her fixedly, and suddenly, a string of crystal tears slowly rolled down her face again.
"Don't be sad. Come back with me first. ”
