After leaving Yacheng Inn, Gu Chen looked at Lin Zhongchun, who was standing in front of the stable and petting the horse, and asked, "Where are we going next?"
Lin Zhongchun stroked the horse and looked blankly: "Just now inside, I found simple drawings of apples and moons painted on the wall, which may be traces left by the dawn moon."
"What does it mean? What do apples and the moon represent?" Gu Chen didn't understand. "If the moon means Xiaoyue herself, what does the apple mean? She was sent to a place with apples?"
"The homophonic word means peace. She is saying that she is very safe." Lin Zhongchun looked up at Gu Chen, "I want to go to Kodak Country."
"Are you crazy!" Gu Chen frowned, "Xiaoyue didn't continue to mark with steamed bun crumbs at first, just to express that she didn't want to continue searching. She may have known that we would not give up on her, so she left a second mark.
.Akatsuki is a top student in astronomy and geography. She has a thousand ways to leave us clues on various things. Now that she has told you so clearly that she is fine, you should go to Kyoto City."
"Are you going to give up on her?" Of course Lin Zhongchun knew the answer in her heart, but she couldn't bear it. Xiaoyue was her friend, and leaving now would be equivalent to giving up on Xiaoyue.
Does she really want to do this?
Lin Zhongchun shook his head, she wanted to look for it again.
"Bai Liu?" Gu Chen wanted to say something more, but when he looked up, he saw a silhouette of a person inside the inn that was very similar to Bai Liu's. When he took a closer look, there was no trace of that person.
Lin Zhongchun was confused. She didn't hear Gu Chen's words clearly: "What did you just say?"
"It's nothing." Gu Chen shook his head and continued the topic, "We are not giving up, but respecting her decision. Lin Zhongchun, if you want to continue to pursue Qi Xiaoyue's traces, that's fine, but can you consider Sun Zhaozhou. He goes
Kyoto City is not just for yourself. If you don’t go, do you know what it means? It means that you have lost an opportunity and it has also taken away an opportunity from Sun Zhaozhou.”
"What's the meaning?"
She could understand these words separately, but why she couldn't understand them together.
Gu Chen didn't say anything, but untied the rope and got on his horse: "That's what you understand."
The hunting champion can get an emperor's promise. Azhou's riding and archery is first-rate, and there is no doubt about the champion.
However……
Gu Chen turned his head and looked at Lin Zhongchun who was still staying there: "If you want to continue to find me to accompany you, we have already reached the border between the Kodak Kingdom and the Jing Dynasty."
Gu Chen originally had a friendship with Lin Zhongchun as a classmate, and with the experience of cooperation, the friendship between classmates became a bit more favorable.
But this time, she was really unkind.
Although Qi Xiaoyue's incident was an unexpected incident that no one could predict, she and Azhou had an agreement in advance. How could she leave Azhou behind?
Gu Chen was so angry that Lin Zhongchun did not consider Sun Zhaozhou as his first choice. Two days before leaving, the night Qi Xiaoyue disappeared, he and Sun Zhaozhou worked together to find Qi Xiaoyue, and the two talked a lot on the way.
Sun Zhaozhou and Gu Chen grew up together and knew each other's thoughts and feelings clearly. He could understand Sun Zhaozhou's hesitation and Lin Zhongchun's hesitation, but she had to keep her promise.
Sun Zhaozhou's words rang in his mind again, and Gu Chen couldn't help but get angry. He said to Lin Zhongchun: "Lin Zhongchun, I want to ask you a question. If you find Qi Xiaoyue now, you will immediately go to Kyoto to attend the Spring Festival with Sun Zhaozhou.
Are you around?"
"It's too late." This was Lin Zhongchun's first thought.
However, as soon as she said these words, Gu Chen rode away in the direction of Kodak Country.
Lin Zhongchun was stunned for a moment, then completed the second half of the sentence: "If it's too late, I will go without hesitation, but these are all destined, and there is no room for change."
At the gate of Koda City, Lin Zhongchun and Gu Chen, who were leading their horses, were stopped outside.
Entering Kodak Country requires a customs clearance document, but they both came in a hurry and did not even have a temporary customs clearance document, let alone a long-term customs clearance document.
The two of them didn't say a word along the way, except that they were on their way.
At this time, in the border town of Menluotaji in the Kodak Kingdom, he was stopped because he did not have a customs clearance document, so he could only linger at the gate of the city. Lin Zhongchun asked Gu Chen for his opinion, and she said: "Do you have any ideas?
"
Gu Chen looked forward without looking at Lin Zhongchun: "Don't you have a lot of ideas? Now is the time for you to show off, and you do show off."
"I..." Lin Zhongchun said one word, and then shut up. She looked at the market where people were coming and going in Menlotajine, and then at the soldiers from the Kodak Kingdom guarding the door, and finally sighed heavily.
He took a breath and said, "If it doesn't work, let's climb over the wall..."
Gu Chen: "Can you turn it over? With your three-legged cat skills, don't cry and ask me to help you."
It can be seen that Gu Chen is still very angry.
"Clang-"
A gong suddenly sounded on the city wall, attracting people's attention.
"General Morsi is getting married. In order to make everyone happy, Mrs. Sixty specially bought the pear blossom wine from Qingfang Tower for everyone to enjoy together. Those who leave blessings can bring a piece of geranium, which symbolizes the day of the moon.
God will always bless you with peace and lasting blessings!"
sixty……
Does it mean their No. 60 Squad?
"It's Xiaoyue..." Lin Zhongchun suddenly remembered that after they handled the case for the first time, Sun Zhaozhou invited guests to Qingfanglou, and everyone got drunk with pear blossoms.
Geranium was given to her by the dean of the 12th Branch when she first met Xiaoyue.
Although Lin Zhongchun was confused about Qi Xiaoyue changing her name and marrying a general, she had no idea how to enter the Kodak Kingdom.
Gu Chen has no memory of Geranium, but he has the memory of eating at Qingfang Tower.
"It seems she has found a home here." Gu Chen said slowly, "Do you want to continue?"
"No, let's go." Without a customs clearance document, staying here is futile.
Gu Chen: "Where to go?"
Lin Zhongchun got on his horse and said: "Kingto City."
Since Gu Chen had always wanted her to go to Kyoto City to find Sun Zhaozhou, and the specious words Gu Chen said made her determined to find the answer.
Sun Zhaozhou, I want to see what you plan to do in Kyoto City to make Gu Chen so hostile to me.
The corners of Gu Chen's mouth raised slightly, "I want to go too."
"Then let's go!"
The two rode horses, facing in the same direction, with firm eyes.
Qi Xiaoyue, who was choosing her wedding dress in Kodak, seemed to sense something and raised her head to look in the direction of Dajing.
Morsi knocked on the door twice and then walked in: "Although your marriage is not like ordinary people, I will treat you well."
"Everyone takes what they need." Qi Xiaoyue turned to look at him and continued to choose wedding clothes.
This is a cooperative marriage without any emotion, or in other words, there is no need to invest any emotion.
