"Ouch!"

Ni Pengfei, who was in a daze, screamed miserably, clutched his painful knee and shouted, "Girl, you want to murder!"

I don't know when, Tang Zixi, who squatted down to turn over things, looked back, quickly loosened the rope in his hand a little, and casually threw down a sentence: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you were still tied to it." ”

"What do you mean by being tethered to it, you are my livestock!" Ni Pengfei was extremely angry at her careless attitude, and complained indignantly, "I know that you only have that guy in your heart now, but I am also a confidant and brother who grew up with you." I am the person who understands your mind the most, and I am the one who follows you the most, even if I spend a lot more time with you than that guy. In the current situation, that guy can't come back this time, and I won't have to accompany you in the future? Do you have to be kind to me? Pay more attention? I might as well tell you, I can ...... you like this."

As he spoke, he was suddenly stunned and quickly stopped talking, but it was too late. Seeing Tang Zixi's body stiffen, he then stood up, turned around and slowly walked towards him step by step, his already somewhat pale face had become pale at this time.

She walked up to Ni Pengfei and stood still, trying to control her tone and asked, "What did you just say? What do you mean that Bacheng can't come back? Is there news from Mobei? If you are my best friend, you shouldn't hide it from me." You tell me honestly...... He, is there something wrong?" her voice trembled, her eyes were fixed on Ni Pengfei, and her hand involuntarily pinched the corners of her clothes, looking at the degree of force, it seemed that she was going to pinch the corners of her clothes out of the water.

At this moment, Ni Pengfei really wants to slap himself with a big mouth, so he can't die, what is that guy doing, he can't pretend to be stupid.

For a moment, the room was eerily quiet, almost audible of pins dropping.

Ni Pengfei moved uncomfortably, got rid of the invisible pressure, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his lips squirmed a few times, but he didn't make any sound, looking like a fish starved of water.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the other party's face, Tang Zixi smiled sadly, raised his hand and waved weakly, signaling that he didn't have to say any more.

She turned around, returned to the pile of things, and looked at them stupidly, Ni Pengfei said 'strange gadgets', and muttered: "When he left, tell me that it will be a year and a half, and three or five years at most." Now that the five-year period is approaching, there is no news from him. Actually, I guessed it in my heart. ”

She slowly crouched down and picked up a delicate crossbow from it. The bow body is as black as ink, slightly shiny, and the bowstring is made of unknown materials, although so many years have passed, there is not the slightest wear and tear.

Looking at the bow and crossbow in his hand, Tang Zixi's face flashed with a sweet smile: "Not long after he arrived in Mobei, he entrusted Brother Jing, who reported the military situation in Beijing, and brought this bow back, and said that he would compete with me when he came back." I knew he was trying to use this method to keep me from being lazy. Naturally, I won't let him down. There are many sharpshooters in the Iron Blood Battalion, and in order to facilitate the practice of archery and to train myself, I joined the Iron Blood Camp with the consent of my father. In this way, I learned to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, and I was able to shoot within a hundred paces. The generals all said that if I went to take the martial arts championship, I would definitely be sure to be nine out of ten. However, I know that this achievement is still far from enough. What a proud man he was. It will definitely be more diligent and assiduous than me, so I never dare to slack off, and I have not stopped practicing all these years. I always thought that I would surprise him when he came back......"

At this point, she suddenly paused, and her body began to tremble slightly.

Looking at her thin and lonely back, Ni Pengfei stretched out his hand with some distress, but stopped only an inch away from her hair, and finally silently retracted it and clenched it tightly into a fist.

The companionship of more than ten years is not fake, he really knows Tang Zixi too well. knows that this girl is an extremely introverted person, and she easily refuses to show her true emotions in her heart. Now, it is rare for her to be willing to say all these words, for fear that she will hold everything in her heart.

Tang Zixi was silent for a long time, and finally continued slowly: "But unfortunately, there has been no news of him since then. At first, Brother Jing came back occasionally, and I could know how safe he was. But in the past two years, even Brother Jing has not come back. It's right to think about it now, they are good brothers who trust each other in life and death, and if he is in trouble, Brother Jing will definitely not leave alone. I was so worried that I began to write non-stop letters, despite his original instructions, but the letters brought by the trustee were never answered. I begged my father to let me go to Mobei, but he not only did not agree, but locked me up. I went to beg my mother, to my grandmother, and even to my concubine, but no one wanted to help me. In order to prevent me from going secretly, my father even directly issued a military order to the post stations along the way, and reported my whereabouts as soon as he found out. He gave the order in front of me, and I knew he did it on purpose to show me, just to make me die. But who am I? I am the eldest lady of the Tang family who is not afraid of heaven and earth. If you don't let me go, I won't go. Since no one is willing to help me, then I will help others. In the huge city of Luoyang, there are always people who need me ......"

Hearing this, Ni Pengfei had a sense of sudden realization, no wonder she has always caused trouble in Luoyang City in the past few years, and even the only son of Lord Shangshu is also beaten when he says it.

Then, I don't know what he thought, he interjected and asked, "What about the 'hookah pavilion'?"

"That time, it was actually an accident. I'm not going to be chivalrous, I'm not going to cause trouble. I was going to go to the top floor of the 'Hibiscus Water Pavilion' to watch the sunset, but I didn't expect to see a very familiar back. I involuntarily followed him into the 'Hookah Pavilion', but I didn't expect to be discovered by the other party, so I entered a door in a hurry, and you know what happened later. Tang Zixi replied seemingly casually, and then asked rhetorically, "Do you know who the person I saw is?"

Ni Pengfei shook his head a little dazedly, and after shaking it, he remembered that the other party couldn't see it, and hurriedly said: "I don't know, when I went, I saw you in the crowd, and you were in a mess." ”

Tang Zixi sighed and said to himself: "Then you still don't know." I just thought it was a little strange at the time, but now that I think about it, there may be other reasons for this. ”

Ni Pengfei pursed his lips, a little disapprehensive of her old-fashioned attitude, but he still didn't open his mouth to refute.

Just then, a bell faintly sounded outside. The melodious sound of the bell, coming from the heavy buildings, has become a little ethereal, and it sounds like a world away.

Tang Zixi couldn't help but close his eyes, listening to the melodious bell, and suddenly asked a question that was unrelated: "Is the scar on your leg very deep?"

Ni Pengfei, who was listening attentively, couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard the words, and didn't understand why the other party suddenly asked this question, but he didn't hesitate much, and said: "It's okay, it's just a small scar, it's not in the way!"

"Do you know?" Tang Zixi's voice became a little erratic, as if he was asking, as if he was talking to himself, "I heard people say that if you can ring the bell nine times at dawn, where the first ray of sunlight shines, your heart's wish will come true." ”
