Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I slowly opened the box.

Inside are two delicately crafted mech birds.

Because it is placed in a small box, the neck and wings of the mech bird are embedded in the body, and each is not half as large as a palm, but even so, every part is carefully carved and every link is The sky is seamless, and the delicate craftsmanship can be seen at a glance. It is by no means ordinary craftsmen.

Tu Shuhan should never have seen such a thing, and his face was startled: "This is--"

Finally, attracting his attention, I secretly sighed and said, "This is a mech bird made by the Tang family who is good at mech art in Xichuan. There are only two in the world."

"Mechanical bird?" Tu Shuhan didn't blink his eyes.

"Yes. The general will not see it as an iron-wood thing, but this thing can fly against the wind."

"Oh?"

Tu Shuhan was very interested and looked down.

I twisted one of them and said with a smile: "It's a blessing to be able to meet the generals. The little girl also admires heroes like the generals. I haven't rushed today and I haven't prepared a great gift. This machine Even if the bird is a gift for the first time, talk about your heart and hope that the general will not be disgusted. "

Tu Shuhan also knows the goods. I took out two but gave only one. I can also see the gold of this thing.

He waved his hand, and an attendant came immediately behind him, carefully holding the mech bird with both hands. Tu Shuhan glanced again and smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you Miss Yan for your generosity."

"Where, where."

After that, I glanced outside the gate with a corner of my eye.

Almost at the same time, Tu Shuhan also glanced outside.

Outside the cave-opened gate, the dusk was heavy, and the wind was blowing in the sand, and the road to the distance was empty, and no one was visible.

I just felt like a cold sweat came out.

Tu Shuhan frowned slightly.

But he didn't say anything more, just arched towards us: "Two people, don't pass this."

Just after his remarks, Liu Qinghan said, "General, I still have something to say to the general."

Tu Shuhan glanced at him, but said with a smile: "Master Liu, the general's intentions have been determined. Regarding the issue of troops, Master Liu need not say more."

Liu Qinghan smiled: "It seems that the general will not easily change his decision."

"Good."

"Why don't you let my official say one more thing?"

"..." Tu Shuhan glanced at him, but unexpectedly silent, without stopping him.

Liu Qinghan said slowly: "My official didn't know. What the staff of the general said to the general last night, let the general make this decision, but there is a hope that the general can understand that some of what everyone said was for the general. Looking ahead, there are some points for their own security. Have the generals been distinguished? "

Tu Shuhan blinked his eyes and glared at him.

Liu Qinghan still said calmly: "The future of the general and the interests of the general can only be guaranteed by the general himself."

"..."

"Imagine that if the general stayed here forever, there would be no success, and everyone would be protected by the general, let alone Brother Huo--" Speaking here, his eyes flashed: "He is a literati bone, You have to eat a bite, and a spoonful is enough to drink. But the question is, does the general's ambition stop there? A spoonful of food? A spoonful of drink? Or defend this Longnan city? "

"..."

I couldn't help but glance at him.

Unexpectedly, he would actually "make trouble" in the back, saying that Huo Liancheng was a literati bone, and that the general generals were the most annoyed by the scholars and scholars' sourness. Liu Qinghan said that it would inevitably lead to Tu Shuhan's thoughts.

"That's all for the next words, and I hope the general will think carefully."

After he said that, he arched his hand: "Grand General, don't let it go."

Tu Shuhan looked at him deeply, although he didn't say anything, but there was a flicker in his eyes. At this time, Liu Qinghan no longer lingered. He nodded at me and tightened the reins. Horse head, slowly out of the city.

|

We were out of the city gate and a gust of wind blew through. I just felt that the whole body was cool and snoring.

As Liu Qinghan moved his horse forward, he glanced at me and heard a long, hoarse humming behind him. Several soldiers pushed the heavy city gates to slowly close behind us.

When they looked back, the two doors were closed.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to be half over.

"Are you all right?" Liu Qinghan asked.

I was a bit relieved, shook my head slightly, and raised my head again, only to see that Yuan Xiu had reached a hill over there, watching us, and hurriedly ran over.

As soon as he stopped, Yuan Xiu had already ushered in and looked at me with a pale face: "Are you all right?"

I hurriedly smiled, "OK."

He glanced at me and squeezed my cold fingertips again: "Fortunately you are clever."

"..."

"I don't think you've been coming out, this Tu Shuhan-I don't know what he wants, I'm afraid you will be surprised."

"It's all right, he's very kind to us."

"That troop--"

At this time, Liu Qinghan rushed over slowly and said, "He did not agree."

"Oh?" Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly.

Liu Qinghan and I looked at each other, neither of them spoke.

It took us a whole day to complete this trip, but we did not succeed. Although we know that this is definitely not easy to do, and we have prepared for possible failure, but no matter what, the result is still It's frustrating. One thing I dare not explain to Pei Yuanxiu is the "nonsense" that Liu Qinghan said to Tu Shuhan last night.

My relationship with Liu Qinghan has been forgotten by himself, but Yuan Xiu-I know, he has always been stubborn. If he was really told, even if it was an expedient at the time, he would inevitably be in trouble Pregnant.

I just hope this is over.

Seeing that Liu Qinghan and I were both so silent, the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. Pei Yuanxiu looked at him and looked at me, and suddenly laughed: "It's fine, people are fine."

After that, he gently touched my shoulder with one hand, and said softly, "You look so tired. You look so pale. Is there no rest?"

"No, nothing." I shook my head.

"If you are uncomfortable, tell me, don't worry me."

"..."

I lifted my head to meet those gentle eyes, only felt that a needle was stuck in my chest, and every time my heartbeat was a little stinging.

Liu Qinghan shook the reins and turned away to let the horse go.

Pei Yuanxiu glanced at his back, then looked back at me: "Why, is it uncomfortable, or is there something ..."

"..."

I was silent for a long time, looking at the arc of laughter in the corner of his mouth, and the warm big hand on my shoulder still rubbing lightly, as if trying to heal everything I experienced during this time Frightened and helpless.

I looked up and met his eyes: "Yuan Xiu."

"Ok?"

"Nothing serious."

"Oh?" His hand sank a bit on my shoulder.

I continued: "Let's talk after we're done here."

He looked at me for a moment and smiled lightly, "OK."

After that, the hand that touched my shoulder slowly slid down my arm, took my hand, rubbed it by his palm, and felt that his body temperature was constantly ironed from the skin. It came from somewhere and it did give me some strength.

We slowly approached the horse.

Liu Qinghan stopped not far from us. At this time, he also turned his head and looked at us. He saw that Pei Yuanxiu and I were approaching, and his face had no expression. The mask seemed to be the only warm temperature on him.

He practiced before Pei Yuan: "This time, my official was not successful enough. He is really ashamed."

Pei Yuanxiu laughed: "Where, Master Liu, don't laugh."

"Then next—" Liu Qinghan looked at him: "I'm going to bother the boy to take a trip."

"Is the Saibei side?" Pei Yuanxiu smiled. "It should not be difficult."

I glanced at them both and said, "Let's go."

|

After leaving Longnan, they went north.

After a few days and nights of long journey, everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted. At this time, we finally saw a dark and huge stone city in front of them, like a tiger lying on the ground.

It's Wu Wei.

Sheng Jing is thousands of miles away from us, but fortunately, now Luosh is not in Sheng Jing, but in Wuwei. This is what Yan Qingchen told us. It is said that after the East Chaga Department passed Hexi, Saibei also became unstable, so Luo Shi led his troops here, one is to defend, and the other is deterrence. After playing that game with him, he was really calm.

However, perhaps because he felt the ambition of the East Chaga Department, Losh did not take it lightly, and immediately withdrew his troops to win Beijing.

So now he is still stationed in Wuwei.

Our horse galloped away, raising a trail of smoke and dust, and also saw a lot of herders along the way, driving cattle and sheep to walk on both sides, and even seeing their tents far away.

It is also with Losh that they can have such a stable life. If a real battle comes here, no matter whether these people are the people of the dynasty, they will still suffer the ravages of war.

Thinking of this, I could not help but sigh.

Liu Qinghan next looked at me and said nothing, but Yuan Xiu turned his head and looked at me, and said, "What's wrong? Tired?"

I smiled: "Nothing."

"It's getting late now." He looked at the sky and said, "When you get into the city, take a good rest. You didn't sleep well last night."

Having said that, I couldn't help but blush.

|

We didn't really take a good rest on this long journey. Especially after leaving Longnan, it was sparsely crowded along the way. At night it was difficult to find a place to stay. Sometimes we could only sleep out.

Last night, everyone was sleeping on a blanket around a large bonfire.

I was tired for a few days, I didn't complain during the day, and I slept extraordinarily at night. But I would stay by her side until she fell asleep before lying on her own felt, staggering. Although physically exhausted, my spirit was a little too excited.

Because I know that Wuwei is coming soon.

Roche ... Steppe ... Cavalry ... Shengjing ...

The scenes of the past are in front of me, shaking like a lantern, and in the end, these people and events have gathered into a human face.

He is not as beautiful as all people in the world, but also has perseverance that can compete with the whole world, but those eyes have such a variety of styles, making people want to give him all the good and beautiful things in the world.

But what about him now?

Thinking of those words that Pei Yuanfeng said to me when Nian Baoyu Ze ---

If, Huang Ye is really in Wuwei ...

If we really want to ask Losh to borrow ...

What should I do to protect him from this fatal injury?

After thinking about it, I couldn't think of the answer, but I was exhausted physically and mentally. I couldn't help sighing softly at the constant rising flame in front of my eyes.

At this moment, a warm big hand reached over and embraced me.

I froze, looking back, I saw a face covered with wind and frost, but smiling like a spring breeze, a pair of gentle eyes reflecting the starry sky in the night sky, gentle and so unreal, watching me.

"Yuan Xiu ...?"

I said softly, his felt was not far from me, but now he was lying beside me and gently holding me in his arms.

Although it was midsummer, the night on the prairie was still cold and boneless, so everyone fell asleep around the campfire, and the back was inevitably cool, but at the moment he posted it, he fell into a warmth.

But everyone is around!

The thought of this immediately made me a little uneasy: "How do you--"

"I look like you're tired."

He gently said in my ear: "What are you thinking?"

The heat he exhaled was hotter than the heat from the flames, which made me slightly hesitant, and I only said gently, "Nothing."

"Nothing, just go to bed early."

"I--"

"Don't tell me you can't sleep." He looked at me with a smile: "I'm with you."

I was speechless, looking at the almost domineering tenderness in his eyes, and finally smiled slightly, closing his eyes in his arms.

The earth is empty.

Until waking up in the morning, his hands were still hugging me, the bonfire was extinguished, but the warmth behind him was continuously passed from his body to my body.

Fortunately, I was the first one to wake up. If they leave the house and open their eyes to see this scene, it will be really difficult for me to be a human.

Therefore, when he mentioned this, I couldn't help but blushing with the old face, and turned his eyes slyly.

Although speaking, the horse under the seat kept non-stop, and still galloping forward.

Liu Qinghan, who had always been silent, moved forward, and suddenly said at this time: "You see-!"

Everyone came back to this, looked up and looked forward.

I saw a cloud of smoke rising from the vast ground, and soon it covered the sky.

And in that billowing smoke, a team of brave knights are racing towards us.
