Chapter Eighty-Seven: The World Is Big, Where You Can't Get It
It's night.
Chen Mingye lay on the ground with his head back to rest, and the few people around him who had worked all day during the day were already exhausted, and they fell asleep early, snoring louder and louder.
The aura in his body is surging, just these physical tasks naturally do not feel laborious, just silently resting, and constantly laying a solid foundation.
Suddenly, his ears moved, his originally slightly closed eyes slowly opened, glanced around, and gently got up and walked out of the dilapidated tent.
Outside the house, the two guards on duty were sitting at the table chatting, Chen Mingye's steps were light, and his body flashed the sight of the two in an instant. The two guards only felt a flower in front of them, wiped their eyes, and didn't take it seriously.
The autumn breeze was slightly cool, and Chen Ming had a few ups and downs in the night, and stopped under a tree.
"Come out. He looked into the shadows ahead of him in the darkness and said faintly.
Behind the tree, a figure slowly walked out, with a graceful body, like a silver-white light veil in the moonlight, fluttering and moving, who else could it be if it wasn't Jiang Ying.
"Xiao Ying'er, why are you here?" Chen Mingye said a little strangely, and then looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and teased, "Isn't it that you have been separated for a long time, and you miss me like this?"
Jiang Ying looked at him, her eyes were a little sad: "Do you know when it is, and you still have the heart to tell me this?"
"What's the matter," seeing her like this, Chen Ming said in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the envoy from Kyoto today is bullying people?"
"I'm a state pastor, no matter how arrogant he is, he won't bully me," Jiang Ying bit her lower lip and thought for a moment before she spoke: "I let people get the words out of his guards." ”
Chen Mingye couldn't help but squint his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This envoy, in addition to bringing a clear decree to seal me, also has a secret edict. Jiang Ying's voice trembled a little, and she seemed to be a little at a loss.
"That person wants to kill me?" Chen Mingye sneered.
In the night, a cold wind blew and rolled up a pile of fallen leaves under the trees.
Jiang Ying was silent.
"Well, this result should have been guessed a long time ago, and I have been waiting for this day since the moment I left Kyoto three years ago. Chen Mingye said softly, his voice was a little stiff, he looked at the woman opposite and smiled, "At that time, I was alone, and now at least, there are trustworthy people by my side." ”
Jiang Ying raised her head, the eyes of the two met, and the night breeze was long, drifting far away.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Ying turned her head slightly and said lightly.
"He wants to kill me, of course I have to run, I'm not stupid. Chen Mingye said with a smile.
"Then run, the farther the better, don't come back, go to the Western Regions, go to the East Island, or even go to the Northern Desert, the world is so big, you can go anywhere." Jiang Ying bit her lower lip, but her tone was extraordinarily firm.
Chen Mingye shook his head: "Although the world is big, I don't want to run for the rest of my life in a hurry, what I said is not this way of running." ”
"Then what do you mean?" Jiang Ying said with some confusion.
"Have you ever heard of the disguise technique in Southern Xinjiang?" said Chen Mingye.
"Yi Rong!" Jiang Ying was stunned, "If you see a flaw......
"Don't worry, I personally asked Xiao Ling'er for advice on this trick. Chen Mingye said confidently, "It can be regarded as a critical moment, and it can save a life." ”
"Okay, I'll find a death row inmate, you get ready. Jiang Ying nodded.
Chen Ming asked again at night: "Who is the envoy this time?"
"I heard that it was Gonggong Li, who was the governor of the capital, and he was accompanied by a guard general surnamed Luo. Jiang Ying said.
Chen Mingye nodded, but his brows were quietly locked, as if he remembered something, and only after a while did he speak: "The night is cold, you go back first, the journey is remote, and it is hard." ”
"Hmph," Jiang Ying glanced at him and turned around to leave.
Chen Mingye stepped forward and reached out to hug her ***: "Angry?
"You let go!" Jiang Ying still said in a cold tone, but there was a little more shyness in her voice.
"Don't let go. Chen Mingye said arrogantly.
"You!" Jiang Ying stomped her foot and said angrily, "Can you let it go!"
Chen Mingye shook his head very firmly: "Don't let it go, unless you promise me not to be angry." ”
"I'm not angry. Jiang Ying still spoke in a cold tone.
"You still say no. Chen Mingye smiled evilly, and the hand around his small waist tightened slightly.
"Big bastard, you dare to be inferior to me!" Jiang Ying bit her lower lip, her face turned crimson, but it was a pity that she was facing away from Chen Mingye, and this beautiful scene under the moonlight could not be appreciated by outsiders.
"You are my engagement since I was a child, the order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, we are the only two of us left, and the harmonious and beautiful relationship has to be maintained by the two of us. Chen Mingye was right.
"You...... I can't talk about you," Jiang Ying didn't seem to be able to maintain her coldness, and said a little hurriedly, "If you don't let go, I'm going to draw my sword." ”
Chen Mingye shook his head: "Look, you still said that you are not angry, and you are going to draw your sword, so where do I dare to let go." ”
Jiang Ying sighed slightly: "Will you let go?"
Chen Mingye subconsciously felt a little bad, but he still subconsciously said: "You promise that I will let go if I don't get angry." ”
"I'm not angry. Forced to calm down.
Chen Mingye shook his head and continued to play the scoundrel: "I don't believe it. ”
Jiang Ying gritted her teeth, frowned and said, "Chen Mingye, if you don't let go, I'm really going to be polite." ”
Chen Mingye decisively withdrew his hand, without the slightest bit of mud and water.
This made Jiang Ying stunned, she turned around, frowned, and said, "Your heart is really big." ”
Chen Mingye looked at his little face, which was still slightly flushed under the moonlight, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Does it feel empty again when I let go of my palm?"
"Don't mess around with you, I'm leaving. Jiang Ying gave him a deep look and turned to leave.
"The night breeze is cool, slower. Chen Mingye said softly.
Jiang Ying paused and still walked away.
Chen Mingye silently looked at the back of the beauty, and then said a little melancholy: "This stupid girl, it won't be that she didn't ride a horse." ”
The moonlight was bright, reflecting on a wilderness, and Chen Mingye stood alone for a long time.
The next day, it was a day of early wake-up and work.
At about a moment's notice, several people had already consciously climbed up, Chen Mingye opened his eyes from the floor, pretended to be sleepy and weak, yawned leisurely, and walked out with a few prisoners.
There were already a few people on duty outside, and when they saw them rushing out, they habitually cursed a few words, urging the prisoners to eat something and work as soon as possible.
Chen Mingye looked at the prisoners around him with yellow faces and thin muscles, and guessed what they could eat.
As expected, the gruel with clear soup and little water, a few grains of rice are hard to find.
Chen Mingye sighed, long hours of high-intensity labor, not enough rest time at all, thin food, these people can survive to this day, it is not easy.
"Little brother, don't sigh, you just came and don't know, it's good to have time to eat, eat quickly." A middle-aged man next to him glanced at him, and the person who had been dull and silent actually persuaded him quite kindly.
"Thank you, big brother," Chen Mingye nodded, picked up the bowl without hesitation, and drank the thin porridge soup in the bowl.
And just after a little half a pillar of incense, the guards have already come to urge people.
"Don't sit like your mother's uncle, you will work after eating, and you will be lazy all day long. ”
One by one, the prisoners stood up and walked silently towards the wasteland.
Chen Mingye followed silently, and found that the middle-aged man beside him happened to be the kind reminder, with a simple face that looked quite loyal, Chen Mingye really couldn't imagine what such a man would do and be exiled to southern Xinjiang.
"Big brother, what did you do to get here?" As soon as Chen Mingye spoke, he felt the other party's warning eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a hot whip fall from his back, accompanied by a shouting and scolding.
"Damn, are you too full of food, and you still have the strength to chat here, you are all quick with your hands and feet, and you can work!"
Chen Mingye looked at the middle-aged man with a calm face, but saw that the other party shook his head at him.
The autumn breeze was cool and thin, and Chen Mingye didn't say a word.
