After leaving the Jinxi Dynasty, the journey was peaceful and there were no more interrogations by officers and soldiers. Shui Lianyue took Nangong Yu straight to the direction of Dongshuo Kingdom.
In a remote farmhouse courtyard in Suzhou City, smoke curled up. In the middle of the courtyard stood a woman in a plain blue dress. Her long hair was simply pulled up, and a white jade hairpin was inserted into her temples. Her eyebrows were lightly swept, and she was looking at her with a pair of melancholy eyes. The distant sky is particularly absent-minded
In the wooden house behind him, a man came out with a bowl of porridge and dishes. When he saw the woman's back, he couldn't help but stop. There was a hint of helplessness in his brows and eyes, and he sighed softly and said: "Come in and have something to eat. It's autumn." Liang Mo has to stand for a long time.”
When the woman heard the man's voice, she snorted contemptuously, turned on her red lips and said coldly: "How could you have cared about what I would do after all these years, and why do you need to be so pretentious now?" [
The man frowned slightly and paused, then turned around and put the porridge and dishes into the room. He slowly walked to the woman's side and looked at her sideways. His voice was a little softer than before, "After so many years, you still care so much about the passing of time. You are still so concerned about the passing of time." Why bother holding on to it?"
The woman's body stiffened, her nose became sore, she turned her head to look at the man with red eyes and sneered: "Zhuge Ling, you know my heart clearly but you pretend repeatedly that you can't see it. You go your way to Yangguan Road, I'll go my single-plank bridge, and now you Why did you rescue me again? You can still pretend not to see and let me fend for myself. Tell me why."
Zhuge Ling brushed his sleeves and looked towards the distant sky. There seemed to be wild geese flying over. Small black dots were arranged neatly. "Yun'er, you and I have passed the prosperous age. Why bother to hold on to the past? You also understand." In my heart, I treat you as my sister.”
"Stop talking about Zhuge Ling. She has been dead for so many years. You don't cherish the good living people, but guard your heart for the dead person. Besides, that person has no love for you. Is it you who are stubborn or me?"
"Does it matter who it is? In this life, my heart is as calm as water, and my heart is as dead as water. I don't want to worry about the prosperous things. Whether you believe it or not, it is an obsession that cannot be erased in my heart. Even if you are a passerby, I will still help you." The words just said Luo Zhuge Ling turned around and walked away, leaving Shui Yunxiu alone, looking at his back with resentful eyes.
"Why do you have to say so absolutely? Why are you still so indifferent to me after so many years and you still refuse to give me a chance?"
The falling tears cannot bring back that upright figure
After walking for three days, Shui Lianyue and Nangong Yu arrived at Hucheng, a large city on the border of Dongshuo Kingdom.
Dongshuo Kingdom and Jinxi Kingdom do not have many cities, but any city can surpass the two cities of Jinxi City combined.
There are very few spring, summer and autumn in Dongshuo. Except for the vast snowy days, it is also bitterly cold and windy. The sun is always shining, so that the people here all wear thick furs, fox skins or bear skins. The customs and customs of Hu City are like the weather here. Generally, even towards strangers, he is extremely indifferent and shows no enthusiasm at all.
However, it is in line with Shui Lianyue's intention. This is the only way to avoid arousing others' suspicion and avoid letting others see the clues.
The two of them still found a seemingly ordinary inn that was not busy and booked a room.
In the room, Shui Lianyue took off her purple fur cloak and placed it beside the bed. She quickly walked over to the charcoal basin and started a fire. Although she had a cold constitution, she was already used to it, but the weather outside was so cold that her bones were seared and her lips were frozen. They all trembled and suddenly glanced at Nangong Yu, only to see him looking at her deeply, snorting disdainfully and continuing to warm the fire.
"Don't you think there's something unusual in Hu City?" Nangong Yu looked at it for a long time before saying in a deep voice
After hearing this, Shui Lianyue thought about it. She had never been to Hucheng and knew very little about Hucheng, so she didn't think there was anything unusual. Then she shook her head and said, "I have never been to Hucheng, so I can't see anything unusual." If you have something to say, just say it and don’t talk around in circles with me.”
Along the way, Nangong Yu had long been accustomed to Shui Lianyue's speaking attitude, but every time she was in this state, he couldn't help but frown and said coldly: "Don't use this tone to talk to me, pay attention to your identity."
What was unexpected this time was that Shui Lianyue did not refute. He looked at Nangong Yu in surprise, which made Nangong Yu feel a little embarrassed. He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment before saying in a deep voice: "In the past, Hucheng was very lively during the day. Today there are only pedestrians rushing home, much like the emperor's presence in the city."
"You mean to say that the emperor of Dongshuo Kingdom is coming to Hu City, don't be ridiculous. As far as I know, the emperor of Dongshuo Kingdom is over sixty years old. Even if he wanted to come out, I am afraid that the ministers, princes, grandchildren, and even his family members would not be able to let him come out. "Shui Lianyue looked at Nangong Yu mockingly and said, then picked up the coal with iron clamps and put it into the charcoal basin. The slightly wet coal made a crackling sound when it was heated.
Nangong Yu sneered and said: "Who said that only the emperor of Dongshuo Kingdom has such a special case? Don't forget Baili Game's saying in Dongshuo Kingdom that he is the most important person besides the emperor. Other princes may not have this kind of exception. kind of deterrence" [
Shui Lianyue was slightly startled, put down the iron clamp, turned around and looked at Nangong Yu with some surprise on her face, "You mean Baili Game is in Hucheng?"
Nangong Yu nodded slightly: "It's very possible that it's him, but everything is still a guess. After tonight, we'd better leave Hucheng as soon as possible to avoid any complications."
At this time, Shui Lianyue could no longer listen to Nangong Yu's words. She secretly thought to herself that if it was really Baili Game, then she really couldn't miss it. He had caused her so much pain. She must remember Baili Game's part in her hatred. As I was thinking about it, a sharp and cunning light flashed in a pair of world-famous phoenix eyes.
After dinner, as usual, Nangong Yu sat on the floor and took care of the floor. Just when he was about to lie down, he heard Shui Lianyue speak: "You can sleep on the bed tonight."
Nangong Yu looked at Shui Lianyue in confusion, "Why?"
Shui Lianyue smiled, as if a heavenly being was dreaming in this room with weak candlelight. Nangong Yu froze and quickly turned his head away, "When you come to Dongshuo Kingdom, naturally you can't be like Jin Xi. If you have any good intentions, I can’t explain it to Hua Rui, so you can just sleep on the bed today.”
"No need, I'm used to it." As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Yu lay down on the floor and supported his body with his arms, turning over and ignoring Shui Lianyue.
Shui Lianyue looked at Nangong Yu's back with disdain and complained angrily: "You treat Lu Dongbin like a dog biting Lu Dongbin with good intentions."
Before he finished speaking, Nangong Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Shui Lianyue with cold eyes and gritted his teeth: "If you dare to say that word again in the future, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Is it a dog?" Shui Lianyue was frightened and asked casually.
Nangong Yu's face became even more ugly, "How dare you say it? Try it again?"
Since there was still action tonight, Shui Lianyue didn't bother with him anymore this time. She glared at Nangong Yu and then lay down to sleep.
