Chapter 871 Farewell (6)
Luo Xueyan wiped her tears and said, "Jiaojiao, you must write back!"
The curtains of the carriages were lowered, and the guards in the long convoy moved forward one after another, carrying the heavy dowry and moving forward in unison.
In the front, Xie Jingxing sat upright on his horse, but the driver of the horse was always following the carriage, and from time to time he spoke to Shen Miao through the carriage curtain.
This caused Jingzhe Guyu and several other maids to giggle.
The journey was naturally long; even months of carriage travel from Mingqi to Daliang was needed. In her previous life, she had also left Dingjing City and traveled to Qin. However, the carriages used by the queens of a certain country were not even as comfortable as the ones she had now. The servants and maids she brought with her were also few and far between, let alone someone who could protect her and talk to her like this.
Faintly, Shen Miao's heart was also filled with some joy.
It was not until evening that it was time to find a place to rest outside. Just as I was thinking about it, the convoy suddenly stopped.
Shen Miao's heart tightened. There were often bandits on the road outside the city. Could it be that they had encountered highwaymen? But then she thought again, Xie Jingxing's men were highly skilled in martial arts and numerous in number. She was afraid that they could defeat the highwaymen if they encountered them.
Although she was not afraid, she was still suspicious in her heart. She simply dropped her veil and lifted the carriage curtain. Jingzhe Guyu screamed, and Shen Miao had already jumped out of the carriage.
But Xie Jingxing stopped his horse in front. In the middle of the road, a man wearing a black bamboo hat was leading a horse, blocking the way.
He said, "Hey, brother, do you owe me a packet of wedding money?"
That was Su Mingfeng's voice. He had probably worn a cloak to conceal his face, perhaps to conceal his presence. He had been following them from a distance, or perhaps he had arrived far enough ahead of time to not be overheard.
Shen Miao was slightly startled, but Xie Jingxing had already dismounted and walked in front of Su Mingfeng. Su Mingfeng pulled out a letter from his bosom and slammed it against Xie Jingxing's chest, saying, "My gift." He then whispered, "This letter from the Princess's Mansion was suppressed by me."
"I know." Xie Jingxing raised his lips and smiled: "But thank you very much."
Su Mingfeng was stunned for a moment, then his voice turned angry. "You knew? Oh, you're so well-connected, I'm afraid you've already hidden people everywhere. I'm afraid nothing that happens in the Princess's Mansion escapes your eyes. Even if I hadn't suppressed the letter yesterday, you would have found a way to get it."
Xie Jingxing remained silent.
"You!" Su Mingfeng grabbed Xie Jingxing by the collar and pretended to hit him. Jingzhe Guyu was startled, but Tieyi and the others did not step forward to stop him.
Su Mingfeng suddenly let go and shouted angrily, "Asshole!"
Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "I'm very happy that you are willing to come and see me off."
Su Mingfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "This is the last time."
"I'm here to see you off for the last time." He raised his head. "You can't be both loyal and righteous, but this time, I choose loyalty. After this, you and I are no longer brothers."
He said, "I know what you're planning, so there's no need to try to persuade me or try to keep me here. You and I will eventually meet on the battlefield. When we meet again, we'll be rivals, and the friendship we once had will be gone." He spoke seriously, emphasizing each word, "But for now, you're still my brother, Su Mingfeng."
There are some things in this world that are simply unavoidable. Fate, by its twists and turns, can turn the closest people into the most distant. To gain something, one must inevitably give up something. What remains is always the most precious.
Shen Miao seemed to see through the two young men in front of her, the backs of the childhood friends many years ago, chatting and laughing, strolling from the streets of Dingjing City to the end of the alley, and then going together to tease the teacher.
Su Mingfeng slowly clenched his fist and stretched it out, placing it in front of Xie Jingxing.
This was a gesture they often performed when they were children. The boys in Dingjing City often used it as a testament to their deep brotherly love. When Su Mingfeng was young, he thought this gesture was very cool, so he asked Xie Jingxing to do it too. Later, as he grew older, he found this gesture silly and corny, so he stopped doing it often.
Xie Jingxing looked at him, suddenly smiled, shook his head, and bumped fists with him.
Su Mingfeng threw his head back and laughed heartily: "That's great!"
He suddenly jumped onto the horse he had come on, and said to Xie Jingxing from horseback: "After today, you and I are no longer brothers. But as long as the sun has not set and the moon has not risen, you and I are still close friends." He squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse neighed loudly. Su Mingfeng turned the horse's head and walked away.
"Today I congratulate you once again. From now on, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and you will have many children and grandchildren. You will be surrounded by friends and may you live a long and healthy life!"
The voice of the gentle and always smiling young man was bright and clear, and the tail tone gradually dissipated in the afterglow of the sunset, leaving only a blurry back.
Xie Jingxing had a smile on his face, but his expression gradually turned cold. He mounted his horse again and whipped it.
Shouted: "Let's go!"
