But she could still feel the gaze on her face. He seemed to be looking at her, and also seemed to be traveling through a long time, describing her appearance in his memory.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, when suddenly a strange noise came from outside the tower.
The dull sound sounds like thunder at first, but if you listen carefully you can tell the difference.
The sound seemed to come from the ground.
Xiao Nanhui stood up suddenly and walked out of the tower.
The drizzle wet her clothes, and the wind with a slight chill of early autumn blew by. The gray-green earth had returned to peace. Looking around, the wilderness and wasteland scenery was the same as yesterday.
Is it really just thunder?
There were footsteps behind him, and the man walked out of the tower.
Xiao Nanhui subconsciously turned his head and comforted her.
"Maybe I heard it wrong. Thunder in the valley is inherently duller than on the plains..."
As she was speaking, she suddenly saw two spots of light rising in the pupils of the person in front of her.
Xiao Nanhui turned around belatedly, and when he saw the light in the distance, his expression became a little hesitant.
"Li Yuanyuan, why is she cooking so early today..." She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something was wrong. "No, there's a fire!"
Li Yuanyuan had lived here for decades, and she certainly wouldn't make the mistake of knocking over a candlestick. Not to mention that she and Ding Weixiang were both alert people, so how could they have failed to notice something was wrong and let the fire burn so fiercely? Something must have happened.
Is it someone from the Shen family? Or Puhuna? Or...
Her heart sank little by little, her throat tightened, and after a while she turned her head and spoke to the man anxiously.
"Something might have happened to Li Yuanyuan. Don't be alone. Come with me to check it out. Ding Weixiang has already notified the nearest Black Feather Camp guards, and they'll be here in an hour or two after daybreak. Even though the situation is urgent, as long as you're careful and can get through this period..."
He interrupted her string of words and raised his hand to brush away the frown on her brow.
"I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to take me with you."
Xiao Nanhui became even more anxious.
"Then I can't just leave you here alone! What if someone sneaks in..."
"I believe you." Su Wei lowered his eyes slightly, his voice as persuasive as ever. "Besides, I said that this tower is the safest place. That person won't be able to find me. I will stay here. You can go and take a look and come back to find me."
She looked at him doubtfully, as if wondering if there was some other purpose behind his words.
But he was not her after all. He was a solid, smooth, round piece of jade, and no matter how you looked at him, you could not find any flaws or flaws.
Xiao Nanhui gave up. She really didn't have much time and energy to dwell on it.
"Then you stay in the tower and wait for me. Don't go anywhere." After taking a few steps, she turned back worriedly and reminded him, "Wait for me."
He nodded and flicked his wrist slightly, and she turned around and hurried away.
He stood quietly in front of the tower, watching the woman's back as she walked through the sea of flowers and merged into the half-human-high grass, until there was no trace of her anymore.
The rain was still falling, making dense sounds among the fine grass like a silk carpet, which was the most harmonious sound of a zither in the world.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound was mixed with some noises.
The man lowered his head and gently brushed off the layer of water that had accumulated on his sleeves.
At the moment when the water droplets fell to the ground, a pair of feet wearing rusty greaves stepped out of the grass.
He did not ride a horse, but chose to walk lightly with a dozen masters. It was obvious that he had fought all the way and came well prepared.
The rain soaked his armor and slowly slid down the shaft of his spear. The tip of his spear touched the ground, and as he walked towards him, a long trail of water was dragged on the ground, making a sharp sound.
Dragging a gun on flat ground is not a marksmanship, but a means of intimidation.
Distant memories flooded back into his mind, and he couldn't help but smile at the person in front of him.
"This scene really makes me feel like I'm in another world."
"You knew I was coming, so you deliberately sent her away?" Xiao Zhun's expression was as hard as a stone statue. Even after not seeing him for a few months, he had already grown some white hairs on his temples. He should be full of vigor and vitality at this age, but his eyes were already filled with desolation. "It's good this way. She really can't stop me. Her absence will save you and me a lot of trouble."
"Trouble?" The man in the rain looked even more profound and unfathomable than the distant mountains, and his voice was cold. "I'm not like Qing Huaihou, who is so devoted to his country and family. At this critical moment of life and death, you asked her to protect you. She was hurt by you so much, but she still misses us. But you have never considered her feelings, not even a little. I don't want her to see you again, no matter when or where."
Xiao Zhun didn't say anything.
He had no room for rebuttal to all her accusations. He also hoped for a happy ending, but from the moment she held that man's hand in Prince Xuanyuan's palace, he had no other choice.
A dull sound was heard again from the valley not far away. Xiao Zhun restrained his expression and slowly raised the gun.
"I have many things to attend to, and I don't have time to catch up with Your Majesty. Your Majesty is very perceptive and should know why I'm here. There's no need to waste our time. Will you go with us, or do you want me to ask you to go?"
The man took three steps forward and met Xiao Zhun's gaze directly.
"I once promised my father three things to do, and now only this last one remains to be accomplished. You have your family feud to avenge, and I have my oath to fulfill. We each take what we need."
He was already thin, and looked even more emaciated in front of the general in armor. The etiquette between the monarch and his subjects seemed to be reversed and collapsed at this moment, but with just a slight glance, he moved the throne far away in Yuanming Palace to this wilderness.
