The end of the story

Gui Yao looked at the young man in black in confusion.

Have you seen him? I don't think so. Who is he? I don't know. How should she answer?

"……like."

Hearing this, the young man's calm and handsome face looked a little helpless. He just put himself in the same position as the other party, knelt on one knee with his tall body, and looked into the little kid's eyes with his dark eyes.

His voice was light: "You are Guiyao."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guiyao squinted her eyes and smiled.

Ren Beixi suddenly stopped, and his palm, which was intended to be a comforting gesture, stopped in mid-air because of this smile.

The boy was still at the age of secretly learning swordsmanship. He left the mansion and came to Xiaohe Village with a sword on his back.

But look at her confused look.

He wanted to close his palm for a moment, but her hair rubbed against him, so he could only shrink his fingertips. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "From now on, when you meet strangers, you are not allowed to talk to them."

Guiyao looked over in confusion.

Can't understand.

Ren Beixi coughed and said, "Let's go home."

Two small hands suddenly grabbed his sleeves, and her moist almond eyes sparkled with water. She couldn't speak, but her eyes seemed to reveal dependence.

Ren Beixi withdrew his hand slightly without any awareness that he almost kidnapped the child.

"indeed……"

Disregarding human ethics.

The four words were stuck in his throat. After a while, his brows relaxed a little. He just squatted down and wanted to hold her hand and go back to the entrance of Xiaohe Village.

On the long bridge not far away, the aunt didn't see little Guiyao, who used to love to daydream on the bridge, so she shouted her name loudly. Guiyao heard it, squinted her eyes, let go of the boy's sleeves, and staggered towards the direction of the voice.

The boy's hands could only touch the ends of her hair.

Slightly stunned.

He hid behind a tree and lowered his eyes to see that the little girl and her family had gathered together, with the tiny one being carried on the woman's shoulders.

Somehow, when the wind blew, he opened his palms and found that all the osmanthus flowers on the tree were falling.

It's time to wake up from the dream.

...

Gui Yao just opened her eyes and saw Jiang Gu holding his face and curiously touching the head of the tabby cat on the table.

Shen Yuan, who rarely squatted on Jiang Gu's shoulder, saw Gui Yao wake up, and suddenly flapped his wings and landed on Gui Yao's head. He looked down with his little bird-like head and said angrily: "Yao Yao Yao Yao Yao! This cat! This cat can talk! How scary!!"

The tabby cat pawed nonchalantly.

"The governor is allowed to set fires, but the kitten is not allowed to light a lamp?" The system lazily greeted Gui Yao. "How is the memory storage? If you still feel dizzy when we leave later, the car ride might be uncomfortable."

Gui Yao considered the amount of information contained in his words.

"Xiao Gu, I found a shop for you yesterday. Why don't you take the cat and the bird to talk to her?"

"Very good, Yaoyao." Jiang Gu, who was casually painting, put down his brush and said with a smile, "The flowers in Wuhua City are of the best quality in Anchao, so the price is naturally high, not to mention shipping them to other places. However, the price of flower seeds is very low."

"Thank you, future partner."

"Shopkeeper Xiao Gu, please take good care of them."

Guiyao drove away the cat and the bird, took a bath and changed into the cinnamon-colored jacket that was previously stored in the closet.

It was when I first arrived in Wuhua City.

Ren Beixi had no idea where the new clothes came from, but before he could put them on, he spent the entire day inside and outside the secret passage of Wuhua Mansion.

Her fingertips gently stroked the dagger in her bag. After a while, she put it on her waist. There was a light knock on the door, and she said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Pin Yue concealed his surprised look when he entered the room.

"News has arrived from the capital. Last night, the Jingzhao Yin's household was raided, Wuhua Prefecture Yin Lu Qingshan was executed on the spot, Censor Li was imprisoned in the palace, and Prime Minister Qiu is missing."

"Missing?" Gui Yao muttered the word.

While she was suspicious, she suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind. She and Pinyue raised their eyes at the same time, and saw an arrow feather shot into the birdcage hanging on the beam of the residence. She held the blade sharply, but squinted when she saw the red feather.

The feathers of the golden pheasant?

Guiyao went to push the cabinet. Just as she was climbing up with her hands, she looked up and saw Pinyue flying to the eaves behind her.

Pin Yue pulled out the red-feathered arrow with one hand, grasped the piece of rice paper with his fingertips, and turned over to land beside the man in black: "Jiu Zhong's handwriting, look, it also mentions the current layout of the capital."

Gui Yao silently took the rice paper. She wanted to show off her skills. These days, without Ren Beixi around to pester her to do hard work, she felt that she was getting stronger.

There was a hint of confusion in Pin Yue's cold eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Gui Yao just leaned over and touched her head, smiling with narrowed eyes: "I wish I could be like you guys, climbing walls and flying over rooftops, wearing a black suit and a mask, and forget about the intrigues and deceptions of the capital."

Pin Yue: "My wife is the most like a general."

Guiyao was curious. She put the rice paper back on the table and asked how Pinyue looked like. However, she refused to explain. Finally, she tried to persuade him, but was still taught a lesson. "We have to hurry on our way today. Why are you wearing something so pretty?"

Everyone knows that we have to hurry?

Only she doesn't know.

Guiyao suddenly thought of something.

She took out the rice paper again and held it tightly. What she saw was Jiuchong's lengthy handwriting. She was slightly startled at this moment. She read the rice paper in her hand again and suddenly opened her almond-shaped eyes wide.

The smile was quite clear under the sunlight that was slowly rising from the clouds.

"It's the Ren family's secret code."

The reconstruction of the phrase radicals and the many rigid comparisons made by the man who had threatened her in a rigid way that she would not be allowed to hold him unless she carried him on her back.

The words on it were worried that she couldn't read it, so they deliberately used many similar places to hint at her. She suddenly realized that the true meaning of the secret letter was clearly

——"Ren Beixi left the palace this morning."

As she calculated the time, she heard the sound of horses galloping closer on the long street from afar.

Gui Yao climbed up the cabinets that had just been stacked in three or two steps, stood on tiptoe, and hung on the wall. The market square in front of the Wuhua Mansion was sparsely populated, but not far away, a man in black was riding a horse, raising dust.

Others couldn't see it, but Ren Beixi could always see that his wife was acting out of the ordinary.

The man, who had been walking with a stern face, suddenly tightened the reins, slowly leaned his horse against the white wall, and said with a muffled smile: "Madam, are you saving the dog or the cat this time?"

Gui Yao bit her lip and snorted, "What? Do you really want me to deny that I was waiting for someone on purpose?"

Ren Beixi's voice was deep. The first time he saw her, he wanted to hold her in his arms, but he couldn't reach this beautiful and smiling girl even if he stretched out his hands.

"Wait till I dismount."

"I can't stay any longer! Husband, catch me!"

Gui Yao didn't know where she got the strength from, she turned over and sat on the wall, with a rare sense of pride in her almond-shaped eyes.

It's just too noisy.

Jiang Gu, who was drinking soup at a wonton stall not far away, stood up in fright.

The little bluebird and the tabby cat made some outrageous complaints.

Pinyue, who was standing inside, was about to climb up to pull her down, while the pink wild flowers growing on the ivy outside the wall trembled and shook off the morning dew.

Ren Beixi stepped off the horse's back, hugged Guiyao around the waist, and placed the warm embrace firmly in front of him. He straddled the horse, and his big hands protected the reins, and also protected Guiyao's pounding heartbeat.

Riding a horse and riding a carriage.

Gui Yao smiled with her eyes narrowed, and asked him with her head tilted up.

The man heard the sound of wind whistling in his ears, and he suddenly stopped talking when he heard the words. Gui Yao stared at his rolling Adam's apple.

etc.

"That's not what I mean by 'wash, whitewash'. What I mean is whether you have cleared the charges...husband." Gui Yao always felt that her face was getting slightly hot. When she looked into the man's silent eyes, she bit her lips and her eyes turned red.

"Is the capital interesting, Yaoyao?" Ren Beixi touched Guiyao's hair.

The horse stopped to the side and ate grass.

Gui Yao was a little confused. How come this horse was exactly the same one he saw for the first time? He paid more attention to this horse.

There is a bench standing on the hillside.

Gui Yao hugged the soft pillow that Ren Beixi brought back to her side and nuzzled him. "I think I still like Xianyucheng more. I miss Miaomiao, Momo, and our home a little bit. Oh, by the way... I didn't have time to tell you that I picked up a new kitten."

"What kind of cat?" the man asked.

"You will definitely hit it off right away!" Gui Yao said with certainty.

After a while, I was amused by myself, but looking at the sunset in front of me, I felt a little dazed.

Ren Beixi's hand rubbed Guiyao's head.

"I waited here for many days for an opportunity. Back then, I worried about whether the world would condemn my choice. I worried about the one in a thousand chance of something happening to the border defense forces that had just defeated the Northern Barbarians. Even more worried was whether I could return alive."

"I had forgotten what it felt like to watch a sunset."

Listening to Bei Xi talking about the past, Gui Yao turned over and moved closer to him. She gently touched his brow with her index finger and said softly, "How do you feel now, my husband?"

The man slowly grasped the back of her neck with his palm, and as the kiss approached, his deep eyes were now focused on only her.

It has nothing to do with the scenery.

The dim sunset is like a runny egg wrapped in sugar, with sourness and sweetness, like a late autumn rain, soaked with love.

"Gui Yao."

"Um."

"I shouldn't have told you this when we first met, but you were so confused on our wedding night that you probably didn't even hear it."

"Are you pleased with me?"

"...Yes, I am very happy."

Guiyao's laughter came from the hillside, and then she gently pushed him, asking him to act coquettishly more cheerfully.

Autumn is coming to an end.

But there will be another autumn.

The world turns, year after year.

[postscript]

An ancient six-character secret book records a story about Tiandao. It is rumored that Tiandao has a calm nature. While meditating under a osmanthus tree, he transformed his inner desires into a person. This person was ignorant by nature, so Tiandao created many animals for her. She was studious and thoughtful, and even learned the ability to read minds.

After thousands of years of companionship, they finally became a couple.

The Way of Heaven then enlightened the animals and divided them into many worlds.

"This is my first time working on a system, and it's also your first time carrying out a mission. Although it's a bit absurd and child's play, we've done a good job."

"How about it!"

"Can I come to your house and be a cat?"

The tabby cat lay domineeringly on the big bed that Ren Beixi and Gui Yao had just bought.

Ren Beixi pondered for a long time.

"This time it's okay."

Guiyao suddenly spread out her fingers and started counting.

"Then can Miaomiao come too? And Momo, Xiao Qingque wants to come too, and there's that big turtle, um... Dahuang and Xiao Daimao are coming to the feast these days. And there are more, let me count, Ah Ji has to come, and Su Su wants to come too!"
