6 The deceased

Xia Sushuang and Xiang Jingkui did not ride in a car, let alone a slave, but just wore a hat and rode on a horse, and left the Guogong Mansion lightly.

"Master, where are we going?" Xiang Jingkui thought that the master knew nothing about Jianjing, but she acted as a guide and led the way in front.

"I heard that there is a teahouse at the gate outside the imperial city." Xia Sushuang replied, but her eyes wandered on the street.

"Who did you listen to?" Xiang Jingkui was suspicious.

"Since, naturally it's your senior brother."

Xia Sushuang walked ahead, Xiang Jingkui didn't see her flickering eyes, since it was recommended to the master by the senior brother, it must be very good.

She immediately pinched the horse's belly, "Then Master, let's go, the good restaurants and teahouses in the capital are all to be robbed!" ”

"Huh-"

The little apprentice ran forward as soon as he slipped away, and Xia Sushuang stretched out his hand, wanting to say something and then stopped.

On the teahouse, Xiang Jingkui put down the pastry and frowned: "Senior brother actually admires this teahouse, I can't eat anything special." ”

"Maybe it's a different taste." Xia Sushuang also put down the teacup.

Xiang Jingkui felt that the master was a little weird today, but he couldn't say it.

Xia Sushuang didn't know how many times she heard the sound of horses' hooves, and after looking downstairs, she never saw the person she was looking forward to, and she was a little depressed.

Sure enough, she thought simply.

There are so many gates, and he doesn't necessarily come out of them.

"Master, what's wrong with you today?"

"It's okay, let's go......"

Xiang Jingkui followed the master in a daze and left in a daze.

Just as they were about to drive their horses away, there was a brisk sound of horses' hooves behind them, and they galloped out of the imperial city.

Xia Sushuang turned back again.

The young general on horseback was in the wind, and the heavens and the earth were silent for a moment, and they lost their colorβ€”

Everything in the noisy and chaotic world quickly receded in her eyes, but the person on the back of the leader Dawan Huma became extremely close.

The man was riding a horse, his face blurred from years away from afar, his face slowly clear in the sunlight, and Xia Xushuang finally found his familiar appearance under the long-term gaze.

It's Zhou Fengxi.

He really came back from the border pass.

The feelings revived in an instant, like an ice-breaking embankment, which washed away Xia Sushuang's heart.

The heartbeat began to beat involuntarily, and the faster it beat -

The general on horseback seemed to feel that this overly strong gaze and looked at her.

Xia Sushuang's heart palpitated.

The young man's blazing eyes were gone, and he changed into a firm and sharp appearance after being tempered by wind frost, and her ears seemed to echo the words he had said before going down the mountain, and the back of his determination to leave appeared.

She subconsciously tightened her grip on the reins, and the horse was pulled and took a few steps.

Did he recognize her, or did he not? Xia Sushuang didn't dare to step forward.

The two men approached quickly, staggered, and moved away.

Zhou Fengxi turned his head sideways and glanced back at her before leaving.

Xia Sushuang habitually avoided it, and was not sure if he turned back for himself.

When he looked again, the backs of him and his entourage were gradually engulfed in the bustling flow of people.

"Master, Master!" Xiang Jingkui called twice.

She followed Xia Sushuang's line of sight, and also saw the handsome general in silver armor and red cloak, and said: "It seems that General Mingwei, who returned to Beijing from Huizhou to report on his work, is only twenty-five years old this year, and he is already brilliant in military achievements. ”

Zhou Fengxi's deeds have been spread to Jianjing and widely praised, and Xiang Jingkui can't even think about it.

"Master, do you like such heroes?"

Xia Sushuang didn't hear it, and her eyes only moved with the figure until the light horses disappeared into the noise of the long street.

Xiang Jingkui had never seen Master look at a man like this.

She waved her hand, but still didn't respond.

It's amazing, did Master take a fancy to General Zhou?

Xiang Jingkui's eyes widened as if he had discovered some big secret.

No, she touched her chin, "Master is wrong early this morning...... It can't be that he has heard that General Zhou is back a long time ago, so he is waiting here, right?

Master! You say yes or no! She shook Xia Sushuang's arm.

If true, this is amazing!

Master has lived in Duo Difficult Mountain for a long time, and he actually knows General Zhou and loves him, what is the story of the two of them!

Xia Xushuang, who had been in a trance for a long time, came back to his senses, and when his eyes regathered, he saw the little apprentice's eager look for answers.

She was in good spirits and said, "Didn't you say you were going to drink?" Let's go. ”

"What drinking...... Master, you speak! Ehβ€”β€”! ”

β€”

Drinking is not an excuse, Xia Sushuang is in a state of confusion, and he doesn't want to go back to the mansion at the moment, so he simply goes to be confused.

This time, it was Xiang Jingkui who led the way, and she kept asking questions along the way.

Where can Xia Sushuang answer, his eyes flickered, but a red face had already said everything, and he hurriedly rode out of the "encirclement" of his apprentice.

Two of you, you chased me into a garden.

There is a world in the garden, such as entering the thousand-year-old temple where the mountains and forests are hidden, quiet and faint, the snow is traceless, the little lady with a double bun and red jacket invites them into a small pavilion near the lake, the fire in the pavilion shines on the face, and the rime outside the pavilion is rippling.

The warm wine warmed all the way from the throat to the stomach, and a glass of wine went down to the stomach, and I sighed comfortably.

Xiang Qinkui was satisfied, and looked at Xia Xushuang, "Master, the wine here is good......

The woman opposite didn't listen after a drink, as if she had just come out of the desert, she poured herself one cup after another, and choked herself in a hurry.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

Xiang Jingkui said helplessly: "Master...... If you don't want to answer, you won't answer, and if you drink again, I'll carry you back. ”

Where would she not know why Master is like this.

Obviously, he took out some of the majesty of being a master and didn't allow her to ask again, and he had to use this stupid way to avoid her words.

Xia Sushuang wiped the wine off her lips and snorted, "I'...... As a teacher, I'm just a little thirsty......"

"Okay, well, Master is just thirsty."

She had to save some face for her master.

Although the wine stopped, the strength of the wine slowly came up, Xia Sushuang saw that everywhere was white, and she took out the letter from her sleeve again.

There is no signature on the letterhead, I don't know the signature, there is only one sentence: Mingwei general Zhou Fengxi defeated Dijon and will return to the imperial capital in the near future.

Bai Qishan people traveled the world in their early years, and made good connections, many of which were well-informed in going south and north, and this letter was sent by Xia Sushuang Tuo.

At that time, Xiang Jingkui was picking out the lamb sent by the small servant outside the pavilion to be roasted.

"Master, do you think this piece is good?"

As soon as I turned my head, I saw that the master looked down at a letter, and his brows seemed to be still immersed in the gray and pale winter day.

The woman's low-hanging side face is like painting the wind and the moon, and her face is as bright as a clear light, elegant and vulgar, and has a light and spiritual atmosphere.

If there is no gap light sword on his side, anyone who sees it will feel that this is just an elegant and lonely young lady.

This young lady seems to be caught in love.

"Master, what are you looking at?" She rushed over to the probe in high spirits.

"No, don't look at it......"

Xia Sushuang hid sideways, her red face bulging into a ball.

"Poofβ€”okay, I don't look at it, I don't look at it."

After the master drank the wine, how could his face be so cute, Xiang Jingkui couldn't help but make a mistake, and poked the master's face, anyway, when the master woke up, he would definitely not remember.

Xia Sushuang touched the place where she was poked, and glanced at her sadly, causing the little apprentice to poke again.

"I'm going to roast mutton, what else does Master want to eat?"

Xia Sushuang shook her head, and when Xiang Qinkui stopped probing, she took out the letter with a flat mouth and rubbed the name on the letter.

Brother Fengxi, after a long time, will he still remember himself?

If you remember, he has achieved fame, and his will can be changed?

If he forgets everything......

If you forget, you won't have the slightest resentment.

The gap light sword is cold, enough for her to cut off the front edge, and there is no one to accompany her on the road ahead, and there is no need to be afraid.

After the matter, she was born, and she went back to the difficult mountain to grow old; Die...... It's what you want.

Thinking about it, the north wind swept in, and her mind was in a trance, and the letter in her hand was also swept into the lake.

Xia Sushuang immediately came back to her senses.

It was clear that she had memorized the letter backwards, and it didn't matter if she lost it, but she still subconsciously stepped on the railing and swept into the blue waves to pick it up.

The dress blooms like a flower, just like a shocking shadow.

All kinds of amazement are also mixed with all kinds of thrills, there are countless undercurrents in the lake, and Xia Sushuang doesn't know how to be watery, but at this moment, the wine is on the head, and there is only the letter in his eyes.

"Master, be careful!"

Song Guanqiong, who walked into the garden, blurted out when he saw this scene.

Before he could jump down, Xia Xushuang tapped the stone lamp in the lake on tiptoe and flew back into the water pavilion.

Song Guanqiong hurriedly walked to Xia Sushuang's side, making sure that the master was okay, and then loosened his eyebrows a little.

When she raised her eyes and saw the abnormal flush on Xia Sushuang's face, as well as the faint aroma of wine, her heart moved, and she asked her gently, "Why are you drunk?" ”

"No ......"

Xia Sushuang uneasily withdrew the hand he was holding, and carried the letter behind him.

In the water pavilion on the opposite bank, Cao Chengliang's wine had already been poured full, flowing down, wetting his robe and unconscious.

He only looked at the fairy who appeared between the water and the sky in a daze, and muttered: "The frost is thin and the flowers are more hairy, and the ice leaves are not withered [1]. Wu Fang, didn't I see the worldly immortals? ”

Zhou Fengxi also saw the figure that flew like a fairy, and swept away the chic between talking and laughing, and put down the wine cup that was raised to his lips again, and the smile faded,

"Since it is a fairy outside the world, it is from a distance."

Cao Chengliang didn't care about listening to what he said, and stretched his neck: "Then you see that it is the prince of Dingguo, isn't it?" There is also Miss Xiang from the Xiyue Hou Mansion, it is rare to meet, I should go over and say hello. ”

In his heart, Song Guanqiong and his junior sister will be a couple.

Zhou Fengxi saw more clearly than he did, watching her take out her hand from a man's hand and hide something.

"Guogong asked me to go back to Beijing and instruct the prince not to make mistakes in women's sex again, so as not to leave a disaster."

These words were thorny, causing Cao Chengliang to withdraw his gaze from that end.

"You kid, don't think that you can teach me a lesson after a few victories, I will be your eldest brother in the future, and now you don't want to marry my sister when you talk to me like this?"

Cao Chengliang patted the broad back of the person beside him, and showed a little bit of the prestige of the prince of Xu Guo.

He didn't go over, but he made a look and asked the little guy to inquire secretly.

Speaking of his own family affairs, Zhou Fengxi's eyes were not happy, but he just swept away his hand and drank the cold wine.
