54 Chapter 54

Xie Zhan waited nervously for Fu Yunwan to answer.

originally wanted her to go back to Jiangdong together, but when the words came to her lips, she changed to whether she wanted to see Gu Xuansu. In this way, his selfishness is not so obvious. After deceiving her and abandoning her like that, it was his scheming heart, which was already cold and hard, that could not make such shameless demands on her.

can only hide behind her family affection, hoping to use her admiration for Gu Xuansu to achieve her despicable wishes.

After a long time, her long eyelashes moved: "After the two countries negotiate peace, will they be able to move back and forth?" ”

Xie Zhan paused: "Yes." ”

The heart sank. She guessed his intentions, so she didn't answer, but asked him if he could move around. If you can, you don't have to go back to Jiangdong, even if you go back to Jiangdong, you don't have to go with him, Huan Xuan can take her back.

Xie Zhan lowered his eyes: "There is this article in the peace agreement, and the two countries can trade and exchange without hindrance." ”

After many years of war, the customs passes between the two countries have been severed for a long time, but anyone who sneaks in private will be punished, and I don't know how many relatives have been forced to separate, and the goods and colonies are not passable, and the people are even more miserable, so this peace talks, customs clearance is an important topic.

Seeing that her brows were stretched, her soft red lips curled up slightly, and she smiled very faintly: "That's great." ”

Xie Zhan was in a trance for a moment. Ye Jing's afternoon flashed in front of him, she was practicing calligraphy under the study window, and he looked back at her between reading. The sunny shadow shone through the screen window on the orchid by the window, and also on her face, and she saw him turn around, her soft red lips curled slightly, and smiled at him. That heart-pounding feeling is still vividly engraved in my heart today.

That time, he hugged her.

The first hug is unforgettable, and I will never forget it until I die. At that time, the plan to return to Jiangdong had been discussed many times, and it was almost decided, and several times I wanted to tell her, but finally hid it. She had always been thoughtful, and she was afraid that she would worry her if she said it too early. It's not too late to think about it, but later, there will be no more opportunities.

That's it. Xie Zhan turned his face, his heart was surging, and his throat was filled with a sweet smell, and he couldn't hold it back, so he had to cough.

She had already stood up and hurriedly took the water cup: "Drink some water, do you want to take medicine?" ”

"No," Xie Zhan took a sip, "I'm fine." ”

Fu Yunwan looked at him carefully: "Your face ......"

The last few words are unbearable to say. Although he used to have a pale complexion, he was always healthy and clean, but now he is shockingly white, and there is no blood on his lips, which makes her involuntarily think of the time when he cheated his death, he was also so ominously white.

"It's okay," he heard Xie Zhan's gentle voice in his ears, he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were warm, as before, "It's easy to choke the wind when it's cold, and it's good to go back to the south to get warm." ”

Let her know that he was comforting, but she couldn't bear to debunk it, and turned her face.

"Suisui," Xie Zhan put down the water cup and took out two thin volumes from his sleeve, "This is the book I sent you from Gu Laoxian's life, one is the manuscript of the old man's compilation of the history of the South, and the other is the information that your mother copied for the old man when she was young. ”

With a thump in his heart, Fu Yunwan hurriedly took it, his hands trembling a little. When she opened it carefully, her mother's handwriting suddenly jumped into view, more immature and neat than she had seen in the past, and it turned out to be the words of her mother when she was young

That's right.

Xie Zhan opened another volume: "This is one of the chapters of the Southern History, which was finalized by your mother for the help of the old man. ”

Fu Yunwan leaned over to look, and could see the font of the same vein, his great-grandfather's words were calm and handsome, and his mother's words were a little more beautiful, and the bloodline was inherited, which was like this.

Xie Zhan looked at her. Close enough to smell the faint scent of her that he had been so familiar with. Her long eyelashes hung low, dyed with a few traces of moisture, like a foggy morning in Jiangdong. The longing in my heart surged. Ask her, though he is despicable, but she may be willing to pity him. "Suisui, over the years, Mr. Gu didn't know your whereabouts."

Seeing her long eyelashes raised slightly, she was a little suspicious: "Mother once wrote a letter to the family. ”

His brow furrowed. I always want her to go back to Jiangdong, but when I go back, is it good for her? "Mr. Gu didn't receive it, and your uncle didn't say he did."

Fu Yunwan was stunned: "But that letter was not only sent." ”

The north and south passes were blocked, and my mother tried her best to send out those letters at great risk, but she never received a response: "Before my mother died, I received a letter from the south, signed by Zhang Zhang. ”

Since you can receive this letter, then someone in Jiangdong must know the whereabouts of your mother, why doesn't the Gu family know?

"That letter was sent by Hou Zhangkang Zhang Gong of Dongyang County." Xie Zhan looked at her, her thin eyebrows also frowned, so he couldn't help but want to soothe her, but he knew that he couldn't, so he tried to endure it, "Zhang Hou was married to your mother back then. ”

Fu Yunwan was stunned, and suddenly remembered how many times when she woke up in the middle of the night, her mother still took the letter and looked at it under the lamp, but finally burned the letter to ashes on the lamp.

I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart, and hesitated: "But not long ago, he, he also helped me send a letter." ”

That he's Huan Xuan. Xie Zhan lowered her eyes, her eyes were slightly red, and she spoke his words lightly and urgently, but the density of them was close to him and he could hear it. My heart was bitter to the extreme. Do you still want to mention Koto? She said that he was so different, Huan Xuan had already left a very heavy mark in her heart, and he and she could never go back.

Turning his gaze: "Mr. Gu is highly respected, there should be other reasons." ”

After meeting several times, he could be sure that Gu Xuansu didn't know. Gu Xuansu is very old, and he lives alone outside the city on weekdays to concentrate on history, and he doesn't care much about the news from the outside world. But he was very suspicious that Gu Xiuzhi knew. The old family of the Gu family attaches great importance to reputation, maybe Gu Xiuzhi doesn't want this matter to spread.

Fu Yunwan also thought of this, and the joy at the beginning was suddenly mixed with a hint of gloom, and he bowed his head silently.

"Suisui." Xie Zhan suddenly regretted telling her this. If in the past, he would never have told her that this world was too bitter, and he always wanted to create a happy place for her, without wind and rain, so that she would not suffer any suffering. However, this time they met, she was much calmer and more experienced than before, which made him a little shaken.

Maybe blindly protecting her is not the only option? After all, he can only protect her for another ten years at most, and she has quietly grown up in his absence, and will only go further and better in the future: "Maybe there are unsatisfactory things, but I personally visited Mr. Gu twice, and he misses you very much." ”

Fu Yunwan raised his eyes and met his clean and soft eyes,

With deep concern, he looked at her intently. The past flowed and swept by, and something in his heart permeated unconsciously, and he turned his face away sharply: "I miss him too." ”

Xie Zhan saw her nervousness, and also saw the trance in her eyes. There was a sudden glimmer of hope in her heart, and she was still willing to pity him, right? Even if he is so despicable. He was all too familiar with the look in her eyes, and in the past, she would always look at him like this.

Hope is like a tide, rising to the highest in an instant, and finally I can't help but tempt: "The alliance is set on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, if it goes well, I will set off for Jiangdong on the twenty-second." Suisui. ”

Fu Yunwan's heart jumped, and he instinctively felt that he was going to say something, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Then, after the pass is opened, I will go to visit his old man's home." ”

The unspoken words choked in his throat, and Xie Zhan smiled astringently. She guessed what he was going to say, and was afraid that if he said it, maybe she didn't want to refuse to his face, so she interrupted him. However, how could you hold back from saying it. "Approaching the end of the year, it is impossible to open before the year, and it is about not possible to celebrate the New Year in the first month, and it should be in March and April when the connection is good."

But the variables are unpredictable, and the biggest variable is Huan Xuan. He watched coldly, and Huan Xuan wanted to oppose this time.

On the contrary, the situation has since turned upside down, and it is difficult for him to determine what impact it will have on the outcome of the peace talks. "Suisui."

Before the words could be spoken, I heard her anxious voice again: "It's also very fast." ”

It's very fast. In just a few months, he and her have come to this point. Xie Zhan lowered his head: "Suisui." ”

Fu Yunwan looked out the window, his eyes were sore and he didn't dare to look back, and he didn't want to listen, but his bitter and slow voice finally came into his ears: "Really don't go with me?" ”

He finally asked. His eyes were wet all of a sudden, and he traced a blurry image of light on the window paper, and for a long time, he shook his head.

She interrupted repeatedly, just not wanting to say no in person. But he finally asked.

Xie Zhan lowered his head, raised his forehead with his hand, and touched a faint moisture with his fingertips. What a despicable and fickle self. said at that meeting

Well, we will never see each other again in the future, and we will see each other again and again in the future. arranged to take her away no matter what, but at this time he hesitated, wanting to hear her own decision. I look forward to that decision, as he wishes.

And she refused. She is soft, but she is also stubborn. Since she said last time that she would never see each other again, she had already made a choice at that time. It's just that he wasn't the one who chosen.

The room was extremely quiet, and the sandalwood incense in the corner incense burner was scattered, and for a long time, Xie Zhan tried his best to withdraw. It's come to this, how can she be sad like this. He took out a stack of calligraphy from his bosom: "I have drawn some calligraphy for you these days, so continue to practice when you have nothing to do." ”

Fu Yunwan turned around and saw a thick stack of double-hook notebooks in his hand, not to mention thirty or forty sheets. This calligraphy is to compare with everyone's law, outlining the outline with a pen, leaving a blank space in the middle, for learners to fill in the tracing. In the past, she followed him to learn calligraphy, and he often used to draw a notebook for her to use, and it took a quarter of an hour to write a double hook, and how much effort did it take him to write this thick stack? Now that he is busy with military affairs and sick, she deserves to die.

Reaching out and taking it, something hot fell silently on the paper. You have to show the greatest will to keep yourself from crying: "Okay." ”

Xie Zhan paused, reluctant to let go, and finally let go. This is a good word, maybe it is the knot

Sure enough. What do you want to say (), but don't know what to say? ()_[()]?『 Come on[]? See the latest chapter? Complete Chapter'(), I heard the sound of anxious and depressed footsteps walking back and forth outside, it was Huan Xuan, he had waited too long, his patience has never been very good, so he was in a hurry. And she has already made a choice.

Xie Zhan got up slowly: "Suisui, it's time for me to go." ”

Time to go. After all, there is no going back to those pasts. Dingding looked at her: "I'm leaving." ”

It's time to say goodbye, but you can't say goodbye. Fu Yunwan followed two steps out and stopped, watching him slowly walk out step by step, and closed the door.

My heart was suddenly very empty, I closed my eyes, my tears fell quickly and fiercely, the door suddenly opened, and Huan Xuan walked in quickly: "Suisui." ”

With the wind, with his unique hot and baking breath, the empty room suddenly became crowded and cramped. Fu Yunwan hurriedly wiped his tears, he quickly approached, saw her face and frowned, stretched out his hand to hug her, retracted when he came to him, and picked up the water cup: "Are you thirsty?" I'll pour you water. ”

Fu Yunwan was almost grateful that he didn't ask.

Standing with a choked voice, he hurriedly spilled the residual tea in the cup, poured half of it and sent it to his mouth to try, and immediately splashed it again: "The water is cold, I'll go get you some hot ones." ”

He hurriedly walked away, took two steps and turned back: "What do you want to eat at noon?" I'll get it for you. ”

Fu Yunwan watched silently and shook his head. Only then did I realize how lively and crowded he was when he was there, and I didn't have time to think about those painful and sad things. And he is always so hot, such a cold winter, how nostalgic.

Xie Zhan walked out of the courtyard alone. It's cold in winter, the sun is out, there is no heat, and there is ice and snow everywhere that has not melted, and it is difficult to walk steadily.

Liu Zhi greeted him: "Lang Jun, everything is arranged here." ”

"Withdraw," Xie Zhan walked forward slowly, "let them not move." ”

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment: "Didn't find a chance to tell the lady?" ”

Xie Zhan paused: "No." ”

She refused. She wasn't going to go with him again. In the time he was away, Huan Xuan had already moved in. That's fine, although he was so annoyed that Huan Xuan treated her rudely, but he also saw it in his eyes these days, and Huan Xuan really regretted it. He grew up in the market like that, and it is inevitable that he has some rude habits, but what he is rare is a sincere heart.

Much more precious than his calculating, hard, and selfish heart.

Liu Zhi vaguely guessed, and seeing that there was a heavy sadness in his expression, he couldn't help but persuade: "It's also okay for the lady to say it bluntly because she is thin-skinned, so it's better to arrange it as usual?" I think the lady must be willing in her heart. ”

No, she's not. Although she has a soft temperament and thin skin, she never drags on in big things. Xie Zhan sat in the car: "Let them all withdraw."

"Lang Jun," Liu Zhi followed the car, "The lady has followed you for so many years, and the lady ...... in her heart."

"No more talk." Xie Zhan glanced at him, "You don't have to make your own decisions." ”

Liu Zhi's mouth opened, and he had to respond: "Yes." ”

The car rolled around and walked towards the Thorn History Mansion, and after a short time, Wu Jiang came to report to him: "Your Majesty will arrive on the 21st, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will walk with Your Majesty." ”

Xie Zhan was a little surprised: "The prince is also coming?" ”

"Yes." Wu Jiang said, "There are 10,000 forbidden troops with him, and the Huaisi garrison is also transferred."

() Half of the troops were escorted along the way. ”

Xie Zhan groaned for a long time: "Bring some more chariots over." ”

Originally, it was the emperor Jing Yuan and the imperial driver who came in person? ()_[()]?『 Come on[]. See the latest chapters. Complete chapters'(), and now he has brought the crown prince again, and the prince of the country has arrived for a while, and there must be no mistakes. It's just that the crown prince Jingjia is young and radical, and his opinions are always different from the emperor's, and when he comes, there are more variables in the peace talks.

Annex.

Huan Xuan went to the kitchen to get hot water, and when he came back in a hurry, he met Wang Shu: "Duke Ming, I just received the news that Prince Jingguo will also be present this time." ”

Huan Xuanzi didn't stop: "Come on, come on, it's not a big deal." ”

"As soon as the prince comes, the defense of both sides will have to be adjusted accordingly, and the previous plan will not work in some places." Wang Shu followed behind, "Everyone is waiting for Ming Gong to come up with an idea." ”

No matter how anxious she is to see her, she can only put it down temporarily at this time, after all, sending her away safely is the top priority. Huan Xuan nodded, put down the hot water when he entered the door, and added another cup of water to Fu Yunwan: "Suisui, I have some business to do, you can eat by yourself at noon, don't wait for me." ”

Seeing her nodding obediently, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a stack of double-hooked calligraphy on the bookcase, and recognized it as Xie Zhan's handwriting at a glance, and Xie Zhan had described it to him when he had just learned calligraphy. Her handwriting is a bit like Xie Zhan's, just because of such a pen to learn, right? What did Xie Zhan tell her?

Countless words came to his lips, and he finally couldn't bear to go back without asking: "You drink water." I was in the study in front of me, and if anything happened, I was to be called at once. ”

Fu Yunwan picked up the water cup, it was hot and hot, so warm that his palms were a little hot, he paused, as if he wanted to say something, and finally didn't say anything, turned around and left: "I'm leaving." ”

The door closed and he was gone. The hustle and bustle followed him. Fu Yunwan took the tea, maybe the water cooled quickly, and at this time he also felt cold and soaked, and it was cold.

Huan Xuan didn't come back until night, Fu Yunwan slept alone, half-asleep and half-awake when he heard footsteps outside, the sound of the door opening and closing, and a low sound of inquiry, Huan Xuan came back.

A little afraid, afraid that he would stay, but the footsteps stopped outside the curtain, and he did not come in, only looked at her outside. Fu Yunwan secretly looked through the gap in his eyelashes, his shadow on the curtain was tall and thick, swaying slightly with the light, for a long time, he let out a long sigh, as if he was spitting out from the deepest part of his heart, making her heart tremble, the shadow on the curtain moved, he was leaving, which made her suddenly a little sad, and couldn't help but turn over and make a little movement.

The shadow pounced suddenly, and then Huan Xuan's eager and suppressed voice: "Suisui, have you slept?" ”

Fu Yunwan moved again, his voice was broken, Huan Xuan heard it, and the leg couldn't move anymore. Tentatively careful, she walked into the curtain, she fell asleep face in, and the hair that was dragging on the pillow when she heard the movement shook slightly, and then turned inward.

She was awake. She didn't hide from him.

Let him be ecstatic all of a sudden, and he came to the side of the bed with an arrow step and bent over: "Suisui." ”

The nightlight shone far away, and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly. She's actually still scared. The ecstasy that filled his heart disappeared for most of the time, and he didn't dare to approach again, so he took a few steps back: "You sleep, I won't make noise with you, I'll see you and leave." ”

Fu Yunwan closed his eyes and didn't speak, and heard his heavy breathing beside the bed, one by one. The room suddenly became crowded and lively again, and it was also warm, and those chaotic thoughts slowly quieted down, and they deliberately closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, and slowly, they really fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept this time, and when I woke up, it was already dawn, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Huan Xuan on the side.

He sat on the floor on the edge of the bed, leaning on the edge of the bed and sleeping soundly. The sun shone through the curtain, and saw a dark cloud on the clothes on his shoulders.

It's blood. When did he have a new wound on his body.!
