Chapter 155 The Luan Bird in His Heart
Xie Tingzhou's gaze fell on the door.
He couldn't see her, but he could hear her footsteps, hear her putting things down at the door, hear her sobbing.
I also heard that voice: I'm sorry, I can't be a dodder.
Xie Tingzhou didn't know how long he sat there before he opened the door.
There was a brocade box on the ground, and inside the box was a purse, a purse with very poor stitching.
It can be seen that she has embroidered very carefully, but the stitching is still very poor. In some places, she has taken them apart and re-embroidered them, and the needle holes have been stretched a bit.
Xie Tingzhou seemed to see that heroic girl, with her head lowered under the night light, silently doing needlework, which she was not good at.
Her neck was very slender, and under the light it formed a beautiful curve, like a moon in the sky.
…
Shen Yu left the capital with an imperial edict, accompanied by five thousand soldiers and horses.
The common people don't understand. When they see soldiers, they think that war is coming. Once war breaks out, people will suffer.
The horse's hooves kicked up dust, and Chen Yu rode in front.
This was the first time that Shen Yu led troops alone, and she eventually followed the path her father and brother had taken.
She looked towards the hill where the two were buried. The morning mist lingered in the mountains. The sky was clear and blue, and the floating white clouds could not hide the desolation.
Suddenly, the clear cry of a Saker Falcon was heard from the sky.
Chen Yu looked back and saw a Saker Falcon spreading its wings in the blue sky, whistling towards them and circling overhead, causing many soldiers to look up.
It’s Bai Yu!
Chen Yu smiled, "Are you here to see me off?"
After she asked this question, a trace of joy that she dared not touch suddenly arose in her heart.
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned the horse's head, left a word and continued to move forward, galloping in the opposite direction.
The strong wind blew in her face, and she rode her horse very fast. After running three miles, her speed became slower and slower, and finally she stopped.
The road ahead is deserted and uninhabited.
She smiled self-deprecatingly. After all, she was overthinking it. She had thought he would at least come to see her off.
Chen Yu swallowed the disappointment in her throat, turned her horse's head, and returned along the road she had just taken.
I am full of joy when I come, and feel lonely and sad when I leave.
Dada-da-da-da
There seems to be the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Chen Yu did not dare to look back, fearing that it would be another false joy.
Bai Yu let out another clear cry, as if as a reminder.
Shen Yu turned back slowly.
Xie Tingzhou rides his horse
Whip, against the whistling wind, she rode her horse from the end of the ancient road, with the most beautiful sunrise she had ever seen in her life reflected behind her.
Chen Yu kept watching him getting closer and closer, and suddenly she felt heavy and her head was covered by his cloak.
Xie Tingzhou followed her in, leaned over, grabbed her waist, and lowered his head to kiss her.
He chased her for fifty miles, knowing that he would catch up with her as long as he kept chasing her, but he was still nervous, as if she would feel more uncomfortable if he was a step slower.
It wasn't until I held him in his arms again that I felt at ease.
Chen Yu felt something was stuffed into her hand, which was a little heavy. She wanted to take a look, but Xie Tingzhou held her wrist tightly and prevented her from looking.
The cloak seemed to block out everything from the outside world, and she could smell his scent inside.
Xie Tingzhou moved his lips away, pressed his forehead against hers, and said in a gentle voice: "The heart has a high platform, which attracts phoenixes to roost. Ah Yu, you are not a dodder, you are the phoenix in my heart."
It turned out that he had been thinking wrong all along, always feeling that he would feel at ease only when he kept her under his wings.
He was angry that she always wanted to go out, and that she could never stop for him, until last night, when he suddenly realized that he could no longer trap her.
That tenacious girl who was alone, confused about the way ahead and groping her way along, was able to set up such a wonderful game on her own.
He suddenly found that she seemed to no longer need him, and he had never felt so out of control.
It was as if she was about to fly, but he couldn't catch her or protect her. For the first time, he felt so powerless.
He didn't know why he was so angry or panicked. He had been holding her so tightly and treating her so well, so why did she want to fly away?
Now he has figured it out.
How can a phoenix hide in an eagle's feathers? He should let her fly high and fly high with her.
Xie Tingzhou fastened the cloak for Chen Yu, his eyes lingered on her face for a moment, and he said softly, "I'll be waiting for you to come home in Shengjing, come back soon."
Without saying much, he gave the horse's hip a light tap and watched the horse take a few steps forward.
Shen Yu wanted to turn around and look at him again.
"Don't look back." Xie Tingzhou said, "I'll watch you leave, and I'll pick you up when you come back."
Shen Yu smiled with tears in her eyes and nodded vigorously, "Yeah."
That serious look was so cute that Xie Tingzhou started to laugh.
The horse walked slowly, and Shen Yu lowered her head to take a look at the thing he had just stuffed into her.
That's a knife.
It was the knife that she loved so much but returned to him just to coax him.
He once said that this knife had no name because he had not thought of one yet, but now there are two words engraved on the knife.
——Yinfeng
Chen Yu burst into tears.
She is the phoenix in his heart, and this knife is called Yinfeng, which is to guide her home.
She had no home, but he built one for her, telling her that even the phoenix must remember to return to its nest.
She rode her horse slowly in the morning light, her eyes firm despite her tears.
Gradually, the sound of horse hooves became more frequent and faster.
Snap——
His beloved girl spurred her horse and galloped away.
Xie Tingzhou stood on the hill on horseback.
The figure had disappeared long ago, but he was still looking at it from afar.
The wind in Shengjing is still there, but after all, that person is missing.
————End of Volume 1————
It took more than twenty days to travel south.
It rains a lot in the south in April, and the official road is muddy. Especially after entering Qichang Prefecture, the road becomes even more difficult to travel in the next few days.
Qichang Prefecture was very poor, and it should be said that the entire area was very poor, including nearby Luzhou.
It was already dark, and the army set up camp thirty miles away from Yuzi Mountain.
"Sir, the governor of Qichang sent someone to deliver a letter."
"Show it up."
Xiao Chuan handed her the letter.
He was a deputy general sent by the Ministry of War. He was from the Xiao family, but he did not join the Xiao family army and instead served in the capital.
He originally had some objections to Shi Yu's leadership of the troops, and he did several things that made him uncomfortable along the way.
Chen Yu didn't say much to him, and just said to him, "You look down on me, so let's have a competition. If I lose, you will be the General of the Central Army. If you lose, don't talk nonsense to me in the future."
After that fight, Xiao Chuan had been completely subdued by him.
After Shen Yu finished reading the letter, Xiao Chuan asked, "Do you want to reply?"
"No need." Shen Yu threw the letter aside, "Qichang prefect Liu Songlin invited me to the city for a banquet, don't bother with it."
Chen Yu had already spread out the map, folded her arms and said nothing.
Xiao Chuan asked, "Sir, are you planning to rest for a day before attacking, or strike while the iron is hot?"
"Today is the eighth day of April, right?"
Xiao Chuan was stunned by the question, "Uh, yes."
"Wait a few more days." Chen Yu said, "I have to wait for another person."
"who?"
Chen Yu kept it a secret: "The key person may be able to save us a lot of trouble."
