Before leaving Mountain View City, Shen Lie had made arrangements. Letters sent by couriers would be sent to the several northbound post stations he had chosen. The couriers he met this time were still on their way to the inn. It was true that he met them now. For coincidence.
Dai Yu received the letter and helped them clean up the dust. Good wine, food, and meat were all prepared here, and the pots were still hot. There were still two tents used for bathing by the river that had not been evacuated, so they were taken directly to take a bath.
The letters were delivered directly in a sack, and each team was coming to collect them. The letters from Shen Lie and Liang Jun were packed separately and wrapped in fine silk. Four letters were sent to Liang Jun and ten to Shen Lie.
Dai Yu also had two letters. When he saw one of the envelopes, his eyebrows lit up with joy: "Ali also wrote me a letter!"
Xia Zhaoyi had written to him before, including when Heng Xiang presented the jade ornaments, and there was also an accompanying letter.
Speaking of jade ornaments, what Xia Zhaoyi gave him was a Feng Guiyun and black Xiezhi, a yellow dragon jade that was as big as half a palm and cost as little as forty taels.
Although it is not priceless, forty taels can buy a decent house. An ordinary family of five can still have enough food and clothing for three years.
Dai Yu was not in a hurry to read it and went to deliver the letter to Liang Jun first.
Liang Jun was still interrogating, and Dai Yu heard his slow and leisurely voice coming from inside, so he waited outside.
Unexpectedly, he had not slept all night and was exhausted, so he fell asleep outside against the strong tent. It was not until a thunderous snoring sounded that he lured everyone away.
Everyone laughed, but Dai Yu couldn't wake up. In the end, he had to call a few tall and strong soldiers to carry him on a stretcher and send him away.
After this commotion, the twenty Western Qiang horse bandits in the camp felt even more uncomfortable.
They hadn't slept all night, they had also traveled long distances before that, and now they were on tenterhooks for a long time and were on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Liang Jun did not use torture. He deliberately repeated the nonsense in a low and gentle voice, and Dai Yu fell asleep listening to it like this.
Dai Yu's snoring sound as he slept soundly greatly stimulated the ten horse bandits. They also wanted to sleep and thought about it so much.
Pian Liangjun's voice was gentle, but his actions were extremely cruel. The soldiers behind him tried their best to prevent them from sleeping.
Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy...
Liang Jun was not in a hurry to read the letter and asked Ping An to put it away. After returning to the camp, he continued to smile with crooked eyebrows and walked among the twenty horse bandits, repeating those seductive words in a low voice.
"As always, be honest and be lenient. Do you want to sleep? Do you want to? Sleep? Are you very sleepy? Just tell me everything. Everything is negotiable. Only one of you twenty can survive. , whoever speaks first will be able to leave on horseback, have a full belly of meat, drink freely, and have a good sleep..."
Even the soldiers who had slept all night were almost hypnotized by him.
Shen Lie woke up after noon. Liang Jun had already completed the interrogation. Shen Lie was not in a hurry to hear the results. Ten letters were waiting, and so was the messenger.
The letter he had read after the finale was opened by him first. The envelope was extremely thick, and he felt solid and hopeful when he held it. The familiar handwriting on the envelope made his handsome face relax, and his brows were as soft as April after he had not smiled for a long time. spring breeze.
There are nine pages of letter paper, no wonder it is so thick, it can be said to be the longest letter she has written to him.
The letter mentioned Xia Jiajun, Song Qingtang, and the incident of Peifeng City being stolen by her.
When Xia Jiajun was mentioned, she was confused and didn't know whether to tell her second brother.
She had analyzed all the pros and cons by herself, but it was difficult to make a decision. The only person she could discuss with was him.
"I have many troubles and worries, but only you can discuss them.
In addition to knowing that my brother is still alive in the world, I often feel the new insights and insights gained from my conversations with you.
Your thoughts are always the same as mine.
What you think of always coincides with mine.
You always think about things that I have never thought about, and you open up my mind and learn about what I have heard.
It's hard for anyone else to understand me, understand me, and understand the situation I'm in like you do.
The world is like a fog, the ego is clinging to it, and the person steering the boat is confused.
If you stand on the shore and see clearly, you may be able to see clearly. You can see the twists and turns of my waterway, leading me to ferry, and clearing me of the fog.
I'm not trying to put pressure on you, but I'm really speaking from the bottom of my heart. If you are also sleepy, I don't blame you, but... you are really sleepy and feel at a loss and don't know why."
The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers that were placed in the letter in autumn are now wintersweet. Some flower stems came out with the letter paper and scattered on the carriage, becoming dense on the nose and heart.
Shen Lie's heart thumped, thumping firmly in his chest.
Although she understood that she should be worried about what she was worried about at the moment, she rarely showed her anxiety in this way, let alone her emotions in this way.
Believe it or not, these last few lines make Shen Lie feel distraught and elated.
Between the lines, she was extremely reserved, but Shen Lie could read the words "intersection and mutual understanding".
He knew that she had always valued him. The jade stones she had given him before were one or two for others, but he had given them two batches in a row.
"This jade should match your green clothes."
"It's not that I gave it too much, but when I saw this jade, I couldn't help but wonder how it would look with you in white."
"This sword is not suitable for anyone but a hero."
"My second brother doesn't want to show off his wealth in the military camp. I couldn't bear to see this bright jade covered with dust, so I bought it as a gift to you. Don't take it too much."
…
These jade stones were truly a surprise to him.
That day, he was in such a good mood that he booked all the teahouses and inns in the city for three days, eating and drinking for free.
I met a beggar on the road, and he just had fifty taels. I was so frightened that the beggar almost lost his breath, and was pinched by Dai Yu. Then the beggar kowtowed crazily and ran away happily, shouting all over the street.
A whole day after returning, Shen Lie did not recover. He was like a fool who kept money, looking at the jade from time to time, and then looking at the words written by her hand in the jade box and jade bag.
Imagining her focused expression when looking at jade, Shen Lie's brows and eyes were also focused.
Liang Jun and Cheng Jieshi looked at him in the study with a calm expression, but from time to time they looked at the jade pendant and looked distracted.
Occasionally, you can still see a faint smile on his lips. It's hard to say whether it's the color of the jade, the beauty of the jade, or the name of Zhou Yu.
After all, if in the hands of snobbish and rough men, no matter how beautiful the pearls are, they will become dull and dull.
In Shen Lie's hands, it is as beautiful as the light of the lake and the moon in autumn, reflecting and blending together, and the figure becomes a painting.
Neither Liang Jun nor Cheng Jieshi dared to disturb them.
During this march, Cheng Jieshi quietly said to Liang Jun several times: "The general smiles less and less. It must be those days when he was given jade that he has used up all his smiles for the next year."
But now, Shen Lie is sitting in the carriage with the letter in his hand, the smile on his handsome face never fading.
Get to know each other, interact with each other.
bosom friend, intimate...
He has never received love from his relatives since he was a child, no matter his parents or uncles. He has no way of detecting the good intentions of others, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, true and false. He has been stuck in the mud and struggled to grow up in the treacherous human heart. He has been on the line between life and death several times, so he does not know many emotions. How to speak.
I'm even more afraid of opening my mouth. This rare encounter will turn into a boat overturned in water. The calmness and tranquility will be messed up and cannot be repaired.
So now, every inch closer to her, every little weight added, is a great joy.
"Xia Jiajun..."
Shen Lie calmed down, looked back at the letter, thought softly, but smiled again.
This smile was because she was happy, and he didn't expect that Xia Jiajun still existed.
The heroic army, the brave army, the Xia family's army.
Her second brother and Xia Jiajun were both lost and recovered. It was really great.
