This was a secret that Xie Xun had hidden for several years. It had been so long that he had forgotten how many years of suffering it had been.
Now that I want to say it, I don’t even know how to start.
Under the flickering lights, Xie Xun's face was very different from Shen Zhi's. But Shen Hua was no stranger at all.
They are obviously the same person, but Shen Zhi has gentleness engraved in his bones. His body is very pure, with the air of a vigorous youth and the aroma of quiet time and books, but the Xie Xun in front of him has a smell that he didn't have before.
He has the nobility of a noble family, but also the fierceness on the battlefield. Even though he remains gentle in front of Shen Hua, there is no way he can hide it.
The sound of uniform footsteps came from the corridor. They were officials patrolling.
Shen Hua has heard this kind of noise many times.
The post housed the emperor, his relatives, and important ministers from various dynasties.
Safety is the top priority. No mistakes are allowed.
This... is indeed not the place to talk.
Xie Xun seems to be hiding too many secrets.
Shen Hua held her breath, tapped at the door, and put her index finger on the corner of her mouth, making a silent gesture. Then she tiptoed to put on her embroidered shoes.
Seeing this, Xie Xun felt relieved.
He enjoyed the thoughtfulness from Shen Hua.
When Shen Hua was ready, Xie Xun wrapped her up tightly.
Shen Hua also pushed open the window and stuck her head out. The soldiers patrolling downstairs were all holding torches and walking back and forth. There was probably someone within ten steps. The guards were obviously very tight.
She frowned and asked in a low voice, "There are so many people."
"nothing."
Xie Xun left these words and jumped out of the window with the person in his arms.
Shen Hua was frightened, fearing that all the patrolling people would besiege her and chop them off with the knives in their hands.
Sure enough, when those people heard the noise, they all looked over. While Shen Hua was frightened, they all looked away, as if they hadn't seen anything, and went to do the things at hand.
Someone even thoughtfully brought a horse over.
Shen Hua was in a mess and was put on the carriage by Xie Xun. The two of them left the inn in a hurry.
"These patrollers are from General Jin. I have a close relationship with him."
Naturally...those people also listened to his orders.
There was a buzzing of insects all around, and it seemed like there was also the howling of the wind.
Shen Hua felt relieved after hearing this. She would touch the soft hair of the horse under her from time to time.
Xie Xun saw everything.
"When you were five years old, you saw the daughter of the Zheng family riding a horse, and you asked for one."
At that time, Mrs. Shen Chun was worried that something would happen to Shen Hua. How could she dare to let her touch her? She thought that the little girl didn't remember things, but she would forget about it after repeating it a few times.
But the little girl is so greedy that she always thinks about horses in her dreams.ap.
Shen Chunshi always said.
——If Yangyang feels better, I will go to the stable to pick out a gentle horse for you, and we can ride it for a long time.
But Yangyang's body is always not in good condition.
One month, two months, three months... the condition kept coming back and forth.
She always carried a small bench and sat in front of Shen's house, looking longingly at the street.
The cries of various vendors are all selling snacks.
She swallowed her saliva, but sat quietly, not letting anyone buy it, neither crying nor making a fuss.
Shen Hua said that her stomach would hurt after eating it.
Once, she didn't believe it and bought it secretly.
I vomited at night and had a fever for several days.
So, she didn't dare anymore.
Finally, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near, and the little girl put her soft little hand on her heart. She stood up quickly, and the knot on her head shook.
She watched the man on horseback fly past her eyes without blinking, and finally disappeared into the distance, but she could not regain her consciousness for a long time.
Speaking of this, Shen Hua also remembered it.
"Brother couldn't bear it at that time, so he just spent all his savings to buy a lamb."
sink
At that time, the pheasant raised his hand and skillfully brushed the little tangles in the girl's hair. This was the action he did most often. Even if he forgot, the little girl would still put her head there.
——This is for Yangyang.
The soft bleating lamb obviously makes the little girl happier than the tall horse.
She obviously couldn't ride, but she was very surprised.
Xie Xun was not angry: "Yes, in order to thank you, you named it Pheasant."
Throughout the day, the pheasant is long and the pheasant is short.
Three days later, the pheasant was raised to death by the little girl.
She was so sad that she cried and held her in her arms.
——My pheasant!
——Why did you just leave when you said you were leaving!
Shen Hua smiled, her eyes were red and swollen, but there seemed to be sparks in them.
"I don't know who sent my pheasant to the kitchen out of revenge."
Xie Xun was helpless: "I remember you ate the most moxibustion meat."
Crying while eating.
——Pheasant!
——Uuuuuuuuah, you are so delicious.
Thinking of the past, the brother and sister laughed together, dispelling the previous dull haze.
It was deserted everywhere. After Xie Xun overturned his carriage and dismounted, he took the reins and led the girl on the horse to walk in the mountains and fields.
Shen Hua raised her head to look at the sky. It was dotted with stars.
The luster of the bright moon brings with it a hazy beauty, which makes people sink in, and even greedily want time to go slower, and slower again.
Xie Xun also fell into memories.
"I fell off a cliff at that time, and when I woke up I was Xie Xun."
With him, one moment, Shen Chun's screams were clearly heard in his ears, and the next moment, war was raging and smoke filled the air.
Little General Jin walked back and forth in front of him, looking anxious. He stopped from time to time to look at the map on the table.
It contains mountains, rivers, and regions.
Mountains, rivers, terrain, passes, cities...
"Our soldiers are exhausted. If the barbarian enemy attacks us twice more, we may not be able to resist."
General Jin's lips kept moving, but Shen Zhi couldn't hear a word.
He just felt weird.
He deserved to die on such a high cliff.
But what is going on.
He lowered his head. A few days ago, in order to see Xiao Sesu, he was accidentally scratched by Xiao's cat. The scar on his hand disappeared.
"I……"
He just said a word, but his voice sounded strange and powerful.
General Jin, with a strong back and a heavy back, sighed: "I know you are worried too."
"You and I have pacified the war in the northwest a few years ago. Are you afraid that you will die here?"
He casually wiped his eyes with his sleeve and pointed at the locations of Shancheng and Chicheng on the map: "This is where my father, General Cui, and brother Cui all died."
"I tried my best back then but could only go back with their coffins."
"This time, you and I, brothers, have to recover the lost city of Goodness. Da Qi's city and Da Qi's people can only be protected by Da Qi, not those bandits!"
These words contain too much information.
It turned out that he became Xie Xun, the son of Duke Xie.
But Shen Zhi had never heard anyone mention that General Jin and Prince Xie went to fight again.
Xie Xun had forgotten how frightened he felt when he turned into another person. He turned around and looked at the girl on horseback.
tell her.
