Liu Xunyi never expected that Hu Lie would not even let him see Zhao Xin's last side, and he couldn't help but be disappointed and discouraged.

He subconsciously wanted to argue on the basis of reason, but after thinking about it, even if he let himself see Zhao Xin, what could he do? Saying goodbye in person not only could not change the fate of the two, but only increased the sadness, and even made Hu Lie suspicious and dissatisfied with Zhao Xin.

Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi decided to humiliate Zhao Xin. He stopped the indignant Feng Tianba and Li Haitang, and then silently returned to the account to pack his luggage while Yin Zhan was waiting for him to be called "helper" but actually "urging".

At noon, the camp was filled with smoke and the smell of food, but Liu Xunyi and a few people slowly walked out of the camp under the "escort" of Yin Zhan.

"By the way, why don't you see Grandpa Ding?"

Outside the camp gate, Liu Xunyi suddenly remembered Ding Qinghong who came along. Since coming to Mobei, Ding Qinghong's whereabouts are unpredictable, except for the first day when they visited Hu Lie together, they have hardly seen him again at other times, and they don't know where to hide.

A few days ago, Liu Xunyi was bent on fighting wits and courage with Hu Lie, and he didn't care about Ding Qinghong's whereabouts at all. Today's journey is about to start, and I have just woken up.

"That Gonggong Ding asked the prince and Marshal Wang to resign after the end of 'Naadam', and left Helin last night. ”

"What?"

Yin Zhan's casual answer surprised Liu Xunyi and the others.

"What does Ding Qinghong mean?" Feng Tianba said angrily, "Could it be that he wants to rush back to Lin'an first and sue us in front of the emperor?"

"Sue the complaint?" Li Haitang was stunned for a moment, and said incomprehensibly, "You are obviously a meritorious man, what can he sue?"

"Begonia, you are a person in the rivers and lakes, and you will not understand the intrigue of the imperial court. Liu Xunyi said bitterly, "The disaster in Yunya Town, the princess's nine deaths, the lost ten carts of dowry, Xu Guangsheng's death, and the 100,000 stone rice I promised to pay the Mongols...... There are all kinds of things, each of which can make Ding Qinghong reverse black and white, and reduce us to unforgivable traitors in front of the emperor and the Manchu civil and military forces. ”

"This ......"

"Yes, the imperial court does not know the truth, and will never reward us for our efforts to keep the land, but will hold on to the problem of our loss of dowry and compensation of 100,000 stone of rice. In addition, Ding Qinghong shook his lips and puffed his tongue and instigated it, it is difficult to guarantee that the court will not be bewitched by him. Feng Tianba said anxiously, "No! No! We must not let Ding Qinghong's wicked person sue first, we must hurry up and return to Lin'an before him." ”

"Wouldn't it?" Pan Yuyin couldn't believe it, "He is also one of the people who sent his relatives, if the court really wants to cure your sins, he will also not have good fruits to eat." ”

"If it weren't for the ghost in his heart, why would he sneakily leave early?" Li Haitang pondered, "If you think about it, Brother Liu and Commander Feng's worries are not unreasonable. ”

"That's it!" Feng Tianba waved his hand impatiently, "Anyway, we have been swept out of the house, instead of worrying about the sky, it is better to hurry up." ”

Hearing this, Yin Zhan's face changed slightly, but he didn't pay attention to Feng Tianba's insinuations, but walked up to Liu Xunyi, hesitated again and again, and then persuaded in a low voice: "Everyone is Han, Yin admires you in his heart." In fact, the prince's rush to chase away guests is not unkind, but he doesn't want to cause extraneous branches. ”

"What does General Yin mean by this?"

"Today's incident, Lord Liu also saw it, Hulan's death made the people of the Wang Gu Department angry. Yin Zhan explained, "If I don't arrive in time today, if you don't have patience for a while, if you have a fight with Temurun and them, and even there will be casualties...... The consequences are unimaginable. Although they are at fault, after all, they are Marshal Wang's own family, and no matter how angry the prince is, he must take into account Marshal Wang's feelings, and he will never kill them, let alone because of ...... Several Song envoys had a gap with Marshal Wang. As for you, Yu Gong is an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and Yu Zhi is a friend of the princess, and the prince also doesn't want anything to happen to you. Therefore, the prince thought about it last night, and the only way to make you go south as soon as possible is the best choice for everyone. ”

"In this way, we also want to thank the prince for his good intentions?"

Liu Xunyi's heart is like a mirror, and Yin Zhan's explanation is certainly reasonable, but it is by no means the root cause of Su Lie's hasty eviction. In the final analysis, it is still related to Zhao Xin.

"Lord Liu, whether you believe it or not, the prince is ...... to you It's absolutely benevolent. Yin Zhan's expression was entangled, as if there was something in his words.

General Yin was convinced of this. If the prince was unkind and unjust, we would not have survived to this day. ”

Liu Xunyi smiled indifferently, then changed his words, and said: "General Yin, can you help you in the next small favor because you are both Han people?"

"What's the busy?"

"Help me say goodbye to the prince and princess......"

"Lord Liu wants to say goodbye to the princess, right?"

Before Liu Xunyi finished speaking, Yin Zhan suddenly looked treacherous, and in a word, Liu Xunyi was shocked, and his eyes became more and more solemn.

"General Yin, you ......"

"Oh!" Before Liu Xunyi could say something tentative, Yin Zhan's expression suddenly eased, and he replied absent-mindedly, "After all, you are the princess's loyal servant, and now you want to leave her alone in a strange place, it is inevitable that you will not be relieved, it is human nature." ”

In the face of Yin Zhan's explanation, although Liu Xunyi still had doubts in his heart, seeing that he had not broken his relationship with Zhao Xin, his heart was a little more steady, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Yin is looking at the fire from the hole, and admires ......"

"Lord Liu doesn't need to be complimented, just say it!"

General Lao Fu Yin told the princess that she would ...... in the future She has made great contributions to the harmony between the Song and Mongolian countries, and our subjects of the Great Song Dynasty will remember her selfless dedication and thank her for her merits for thousands of years. Let her take care of her body by millions, by all means. ”

Since Yin Zhan was a close confidant of Hu Lie, Liu Xunyi didn't dare to care too much about Zhao Xin in front of him, so he could only say some high-sounding advice and hide his heart in it.

"Written down!"

"I will thank General Yin first. ”

"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it?" Yin Zhan said, "It's not early, I will personally lead someone to escort you to the Crescent Spring." ”

"Don't bother......"

"No trouble!" Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to be polite, Yin Zhan had already turned over and said meaningfully, "Escort you to Crescent Spring...... It is also the order of the prince, I hope that Lord Liu will not embarrass Yin. ”

After that, Yin Zhan didn't say anything more, and took the lead in riding his horse south.

Liu Xunyi's face was helpless, and he looked back deeply at the camp and grassland that had been stopped for a short time, but had gone through several twists and turns, and let out an endless sigh in his mouth, and then with a full expression, he boarded the carriage with the support of Feng Tianba and Li Haitang, and followed Yin Zhan all the way south.

In the afternoon, the Mobei Wasteland suddenly blew up, lightning and thunder, and the sunny and warm weather suddenly became windy and rainy, and the sky was dark.

Out of nowhere, a large area of dark clouds shrouded the sky over Mobei, and the howling of the wind mixed with the roar of thunder and lightning made people daunting and shuddering.

Three hundred meters away, a team of dozens of horses braved the wind and rain, and suddenly came to a stop on the hillside, overlooking the entire crescent spring.

The two leaders of the horse team were Hu Lie and Zhao Xin, and the others were all guards with knives.

"Haha...... I really can't imagine that Concubine Ai is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also horseback riding. ”

Hu Lie looked at Zhao Xin who was riding a horse with approving eyes, at this time she was wearing a set of Mongolian horse clothes, with blue as the base and gold and red embellishments, which looked different from the gentle and beautiful in the past, and was a little more sassy and heroic.

"Does Concubine Ai like this set of clothes given by the Great Khan?" Hu Lie liked Zhao Xin more and more, and helped her adjust her slightly crooked hat with his own hands, and praised, "Concubine Ai is more like my prairie woman in this suit, far better than those Luo skirts with rings." ”

At this time, Zhao Xin was sad and had no intention of admiring her new clothes. As everyone knows, her ability to ride a horse is still taught by Liu Xunyi in the past.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xin failed to be with Liu Xunyi Hongchen as a companion, and galloped on horseback, but now it has become a means to please Ku Lie.

"The matter of 'Naadam'......" Zhao Xin looked like a smile and said respectfully, "I should thank the prince a lot......"

"Huh!" Hu Lie waved his hand indifferently, "You are the king's woman, your business is the king's business, your difficulties are the king's difficulties, and your joy is the king's joy." As long as it can make you happy, this king is willing to do anything. How is the matter of Da Song and Liu Xunyi, can the concubine be satisfied with the result of this king's disposal?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied! The prince is kind-hearted and does what he says, I am really grateful......" Zhao Xin looked at the inky sky with the coming rainstorm, and said, "The wind and rain are coming, what are we doing here?"

"The king has said long ago that your business is the king's business. Hu Lie pretended to be mysterious, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Crescent Spring, "Look!"

"What to see......"

Zhao Xin, who was full of doubts, looked in the direction of Hu Lie's finger, and found that a team of people slowly appeared there.

Dai frowned slightly, looked closely, and saw that the person below was actually Liu Xunyi and his party. Dengshi's eyes changed, his heart was flustered, and in the sudden smiling gaze, Zhao Xin's face was full of strangeness and sadness that wanted to speak and stopped.

"They're gone!" Hu Lie got straight to the point, breaking Zhao Xin's trance with one word, "I'm back in the Central Plains." ”

Zhao Xin, who was stunned, looked at Liu Xunyi who was gradually moving away, and an unprecedented loneliness and loss came to her heart irrepressibly, making her have mixed feelings and mixed tastes.

It seems that Liu Xunyi left without warning, which made Zhao Xin feel an inexplicable sadness of being abandoned.

The past flashed one by one, and Liu Xunyi's smiling face lingered, but his heart was empty and dark. Zhao Xin seemed to fall into the endless abyss all of a sudden, tormenting repeatedly in the world of ice and fire, helpless, unable to speak, which made her feel extremely melancholy, extremely sour, extremely depressed, depressed and couldn't cry if she wanted to cry, and couldn't laugh if she wanted to laugh...... Almost suffocating.

"Aifei, do you want to go down and say goodbye to them in person?"

Suddenly, a sudden voice sounded in Zhao Xin's ears, which shocked his spirit, and his eyes trembled subconsciously.

"I ......"

"You can go down by yourself, or you can let the king go down with you. Hu Lie said softly, "As long as you are happy, you can do anything." ”

"Lord, I ......" Zhao Xin's heart was like silk, and she was speechless for a while.

"Because of the relationship between you and Liu Xunyi, this king doesn't want to bring you here, but ......," a bitter smile forced out of Hu Lie's sincere face, "but I really can't tolerate myself deceiving you, and I don't want you to leave regrets." ”

"Lord ......"

"Let's go down! After today, you and Liu Xunyi will be scattered, goodbye like rain, go and say goodbye to ......"

"No need!"

Suddenly, Zhao Xin, who was depressed, looked upright, and a resolute look flashed resolutely in her eyes overflowing with tears. She turned her reluctant gaze from Liu Xunyi, who was far away in the sky, to Su Lie who was close in front of her, smiling with tears, and every word was beautiful.

"The prince treats me with deep affection and respect, and Zhao Xin can't repay your kindness for the rest of his life. I have no fate with Liu Xunyi, and this life is destined to be separated. In this case, why bother to do more and increase sorrow? Saying goodbye without saying goodbye is the best consolation for each other and the best outcome for us. From now on, I'm Zhao Xin...... I only want to be a woman who is a prince......"
