Chapter Seventy-Two: The Choice
The morning air is exceptionally fresh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Perhaps because of the spring rain last night, the leaves on the mountain seemed to turn much greener overnight, the dew sparkled in the sun, and the birds chirped much more cheerfully.
It was indeed a good day to travel far away.
Yang Xiaofeng stood at the window and quietly looked at the hillside in the distance, is he leaving again. After a long time, he gently picked up the sword wrapped in cloth on the table and slowly carried it on his back. His eyes carefully glanced at the room where he had lived for nearly half a year, and he didn't stop for a moment, slowly opened the door, and walked out slowly.
When will I come back? Or I don't know if I can come back!
In the courtyard outside the door, Luo Wenbin, Luo Qingyu and his wife, Xie Shan, Lan Yueping...... , everybody's there. But no one spoke, and several people were waiting, waiting for Yang Xiaofeng to explain something to them.
Yang Xiaofeng's eyes inadvertently swept over the entire courtyard, and a little loss suddenly flashed on his face, but he finally didn't see the familiar white clothes. At that moment, his lips moved, but he just said lightly: "Let's go."
Luo Wenbin noticed that Yang Xiaofeng's expression was different, and immediately asked Luo Qingyu: "By the way, why didn't Xue'er come, she should have come?"
Luo Qingyu sighed slightly, and said lightly: "Xiaoxue may have not gotten up because she slept too late last night, or maybe she was too scared, or maybe it was ...... , alas, not to say".
Is it really just because Luo Qingxue slept too late last night and hasn't gotten up yet?
Who knows, maybe she just hasn't slept all night. The road ahead is strong, why fate always likes to play tricks on people, she may not have the courage to bear it, to bear the scene of parting with Yang Xiaofeng again.
Yang Xiaofeng's heart was suddenly full of contradictions. If Ah Xue wanted to follow him to the Orchid Gate today, he would never agree. But at this moment, how much he wished that he would have her by his side, no matter where he went, she would always be by his side.
It wasn't too far from his place to the mouth of the Falling Snow Valley, but it felt like it was a long journey, so much so that it took a long time.
Along the way, no one spoke, probably because everyone had their own agenda. Or maybe it's because you can't find a suitable topic to talk about in this atmosphere. A few people walked silently and slowly all the way, and Taniguchi finally arrived.
"Xiaofeng, the horses, dry food, and coils are all ready, just waiting for you to set off......", Luo Qingyu said seriously and calmly: "Now please think about it one last time, whether to go or not." Even if you regret it now, no one will blame you."
Yang Xiaofeng smiled faintly very casually and said, "Since you will regret it, why did you have to make a decision in the first place." Let's go, don't let the disciple who leads the horse wait too long."
The disciple who led the horse had indeed been waiting for a long time. At the same time, what is surprising but not at all surprising is that Luo Qingxue has also been waiting for a long time.
She didn't come to see Yang Xiaofeng off all the way, just because she was going to go with him.
Luo Qingyu's father and son both frowned slightly, but they didn't say anything. Because they know that with Xiaoxue's temper, even if they persuade her to stay, it will be useless, even if this is the case, why persuade again.
Luo Qingxue looked at everyone and said to Yang Xiaofeng: "Feng, let's go." Didn't you say that you need a disciple to lead the way, I happen to be familiar with the road."
"Go"?
Yang Xiaofeng really hoped that Ah Xue would accompany him, but he was very resolute and refused directly: "Ah Xue, you better stay."
"Yes, ......", Lan Ru also persuaded on the side: "Xiaoxue, I'm afraid it's dangerous to go to Orchid Gate this time, I don't think you should follow."
Luo Qingxue said lightly: "It is precisely because of the danger that I want to go with him." If the two of us go together, no matter what happens, at least I will be with him, and he will not be the only one to face it."
"This ......", Lan Ru was speechless for a while, and said anxiously to Luo Wenbin and his son: "Dad, you hurry up and persuade Xiaoxue, this is not a joke."
Luo Wenbin smiled noncommittally, and said helplessly: "Ru'er, this is Xue'er's own choice, do you think my persuasion is useful?"
"Okay then......", although Yang Xiaofeng felt a little helpless, he felt extremely fulfilled and confident. No matter how many tribulations and setbacks lie ahead, as long as the two of them face it together, what else is there to be afraid of, and said with a faint smile: "Uncle, big brother...... Let's send it here. Ayuki, let's go".
Luo Qingyu walked over and patted Yang Xiaofeng's shoulder heavily, and advised, "Xiaofeng, be careful. Also, take care of Xiaoxue, no matter what, she's just a girl after all."
Yang Xiaofeng's heart was hot, and he said firmly: "Please rest assured, eldest brother, as long as I am alive, I will never let Ah Xue lose a hair."
After speaking, he didn't stop, and Luo Qingxue stepped on the horse, and the two of them galloped away immediately.
Looking at his daughter's back gradually disappearing out of sight, Luo Wenbin suddenly felt a little sad and said, "I just found out today that Xue'er has really grown up." With her own life, she is no longer the little girl who used to hang around me all day."
"Yes, ......", Luo Qingyu was also a little sad, and said: "The road ahead will have to go down by herself." In contrast, Xiaofeng is all of Xiaoxue's life, and we are just passers-by."
Luo Wenbin settled down and said, "Yu'er, you should also hurry up and arrange it, as I said before, I am afraid that this river and lake will never be peaceful again." The fate of the Falling Snow Valley after that is all on your shoulders."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, perhaps, he is really old.
Luo Qingyu waved his hand, and several people rushed out from behind him and stood in front of him. He immediately ordered: "Comprehensively strengthen the defense of Falling Snow Valley, and at the same time immediately call the shadow guards to stand by, ready to dispatch at any time."
Outside the valley.
Yang Xiaofeng urged the horse to gallop for a while, and suddenly stopped again.
Luo Qingxue had no choice but to stop beside him, and was puzzled for a while: "What's the matter, why don't you leave"?
Yang Xiaofeng turned his head to look at her sideways, then looked back into the distance, and said lightly: "Ah Xue, do you know how dangerous it is to go here?"
Luo Qingxue smiled lightly: "I know."
"You know what a ferocious and terrible opponent we are going to face, and you have seen their methods at the Flying Snow Gathering that night. And what we will encounter in the future will definitely be a hundred times more terrible than those people that night"?
"I know it too".
"Then you know, maybe this time, we have no possibility of returning at all. Maybe we won't be able to solve the siege of Orchid Gate at all, but we will only take our own lives in vain"?
"I know better".
"But you're still going"?
"Yes".
"Why"?
"Because you're going".
"Because I'm going to ......"?
"As I said, no matter how difficult and bitter the road ahead is, you will never be the only one who walks."
Luo Qingxue's words were very light and light, but behind this blandness, there was a firmness like breaking ice and cutting snow.
Yang Xiaofeng suddenly smiled, and said equally flatly: "Then let's go."
Other than that, he didn't mention anything else. He didn't say a word at all.
Two people rode in two, all the way away.
