Chapter 8 Long Road 1

"Miss, King Li went on an expedition, so the wedding date has been postponed. This... is also what King Li means." Ming Jian was a little unbearable. I waved my hand and said in an inaudible voice, "You go out first. I want to be alone."

Ming Xiao and Ming Jian withdrew from the room and gently closed the door. I pillowed my arm and let tears flow freely. I felt that I was the big fool of Tianzi No.1. I clearly saw Li's abnormality, but I didn't ask him. I will only push Li away. His heartbreaking love and his heartache endured, and everything turned into a vacuum. I never listened to Li's explanation and denied him before I got to know him. Have I ever been fair to Li?

I have been with Yan Wan for so long. After going in and out of the palace for many days, I didn't know that King Li asked for an expedition and the wedding date was postponed. Is this intentional, or am I too stupid to limit?

I can understand if Yan Yingchen doesn't tell me or Yi doesn't tell me. But Che, why did he hide it from me? My heart is more self-deprecating. After all, I still don't know him. For no reason, there was a burst of disgust, and for a moment, I had the idea of not going to the prosperous country. For the first time, I want to go alone to a place where no one knows me and live like this for the rest of my life. But when I left, what about Ziqin and Huaishu? Will Che treat them well? And the underworld sword. If Che knew that it was the underworld sword that told me these things, what would he do to the underworld sword? Endless loneliness came. I looked at the faint light of the candle and didn't know where to go.

A man sat until dawn, and his chaotic state of mind gradually calmed down. I got up and patted Ziqin and Huaishu, told them that it was time to go, and then I pushed the door directly and went out.

Ming Xiao was guarding at the door. When he saw me coming out, he lowered his head and retreated to one side. I tried to squeeze out a smile that was worse than crying and said, "Let's go after breakfast."

"Yes."

I hardly ate anything for breakfast, and this depressed state surprised me. Huaishu looked at me from time to time, and I pretended not to see him quietly avoiding the past. I don't want them to know about this and feel uneasy.

After breakfast, I silently helped Ziqin move his things into the carriage. Ming Jian stood aside and saw me, and there was some sadness in his eyes. I really want to go and pat him and say, "I'm fine", but I can't take a step. For a moment, I even wanted to leave all this behind and go back to Liangcheng and back to Li's side.

But after all, I still nipped my absurd idea in the bud. Sitting in the carriage, I felt very sad to watch the trees by the road slowly retreat. Li, will we meet again? I took this road with the idea of never seeing it again, but how can I waver now?

Huaishu looked at my deep eyebrows and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it. In a trance, I seemed to see Yan Yingchen's usual distressed and helpless expression. Oh, this child is becoming more and more like a brother. Thinking of Yan Yingchen, my heart is full of warmth. Is my elegant brother still light-light?

I picked up the curtain and let the breeze brush my face with my weeping hair. Today's sunshine is particularly good, and I feel warm and comfortable on my face, and I feel quite lazy. Leaning sideways on the carriage, the feeling of laziness reminds me of him again. I remembered his blood-soaked appearance, his angry expression on me, and the clear eyes when he said that the soup I cooked was delicious. Che, how can you hide the truth from me? Let me fall into a ruthless situation? Unlike your brother, you are my confidant. Brother, he loves me more than anything else. He wants me to be happy and he can be selfish. But you can't do this. You know my heart so well. Don't you know that I will blame you?

I leaned there and was infinitely melancholy. Suddenly, I heard it and said lightly, "Sister, there is nothing pure in the world. Maybe many things are not as simple as you see. Why bother yourself?"

I was stunned, "Huishu?"

"I heard what you said yesterday, Brother Mingjian and Brother Mingxiao."

I smiled and said no. It turned out that the child woke up at that time. He didn't say until now, which shows that Huaishu is also much more stable. Sister, it's okay. Don't worry. Did it scare you yesterday?

Huaishu smiled clearly, "With my sister by my side, Huaishu is not afraid of anything."

"You boy, sometimes deep like an adult, sometimes naive like a child, which really makes my sister figure out."

Huaishu blinked his eyes mischievously and didn't say anything. After chatting with him for a few words, I suddenly felt better and the haze dissipated a lot. After walking for a while, the carriage slowly stopped. Mingjian picked up the curtain and said, "Miss, I haven't seen a teahouse all the way. Shall we have lunch in the wild?"

"Of course, the picnic also has a unique flavor."

I got out of the car first and walked to one side. Ming Jian took a few steps behind and followed me.

"Ming Jian, you can pick some mushrooms with me."

I rummaged around under the tree with the sword and picked some fungi. I taught him to distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic mushrooms. The sword smiled implicitly and said awkwardly, "Miss is awesome."

The sun shone brightly on his long eyelashes. Looking at Mingjian's embarrassed face, I finally couldn't help laughing.

"Miss, will you complain about the Lord?" When Mingjian and I strolled around looking for food, he asked faintly.

"I will." What I said was so firm that even I was scared by myself.

Ming Jian smiled and said, "So do you want to hear what the Lord thinks?"

"I don't want to think about it. I'm afraid that I will hear the truth I don't want to hear."

"There are some things that can't be avoided, and there will always be a day to face."

I pondered for a moment, turned my face and asked Ming Jian, "Ming Jian, do you tell me this from the perspective of a friend?"

"Yes." Ming Jian nodded and smiled shyly.

I stopped and looked at him fixedly and said, "Ming Jian, I'm very happy."

"For so many years, except for the Lord, Miss has been the first person to treat us like relatives." Mingjian's eyes were bright, and for a moment, my nose was a little sore. I know what kind of life they live as dark guards.

I lowered my head and smiled and stopped talking. The underworld sword walked beside me with a warm smile. Neither Mingjian and I mentioned Che. I think maybe we all have our own answer in our hearts.

Back to the resting place near the carriage, Ming Xiao had hunted two pheasants. I was happy at first sight, which was exactly what I was looking for. When I came out this time, I specially asked Ziqin to prepare a pot and what kind of seasoning, and now it comes in handy.

I asked Ziqin to help me pluck two pheasants. I made a beggo chicken, a pot of stewed chicken with mountain fungus, and stir-fried a mushroom as quickly as possible. The rice was fragrant, and everyone was full of wind and clouds. It can be seen that they are all hungry today. After dinner, Ming Xiao cleaned up a pile of residue on the ground. After collecting it, I looked at me and said, "Miss, we are thinking about the food you cooked." Hearing this, I was stunned and then smiled and said, "I didn't expect Ming Xiao to say such a thing. It's really rare." In a word, Ming Xiao's cheeks turned red. Seeing this, I was puzzled. I don't know why the men like Xuanyiwei living in the shadow of swords are so shy, but they look like a rough man.

shook his head helplessly, followed everyone into the carriage and continued to drive forward. On the way, I had nothing to do, so I taught Ziqin, Huaishu and the underworld sword resting in the car to sing. From "Let's Swing the Paddle" to "The Sun", I have taught it happily. Fortunately, Ziqin and Huaishu said that it really took me a long time to let Ming Jian open his mouth to sing. But at my insistence, I still heard the singing voice of the Mingjian. In fact, it was quite good. I praised the Mingjian and scratched his head and laughed.

In this way, we talked, laughed and fought all the way. Finally, on the evening of the third day after leaving Liangcheng, I arrived in Dingzhou.

Dingzhou is worthy of being the second largest city in Nanyuan. Restaurants, teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street are full of diners. A jewelry seller is magnificently decorated, and several gorgeous people can be faintly seen choosing jewelry in the hall. I sat in the car and looked left and right, feeling like traveling.

Ming Jian drove his car slowly through the city, and finally stopped on a less prosperous street. We stayed at Laifu Inn, but no matter how I looked at it, I felt that the name of the inn was vulgar enough. I shook my head and walked into the inn and found that the business of the inn was very good. The five of us are lucky enough to arrive at the last two rooms of the Laifu Inn.

After dinner, I begged for a long time and was finally allowed to go shopping in the street. I took Huaishu and Ziqin to walk in front and look around, while Ming Jian and Ming Xiao followed with a wary face.

After wandering most of the street, my hand was full of snacks. While eating, I said to Huaishu, "Huaishu, let's see if there is any delicious food. Let's buy them all and try them." Huaishu glanced at the big bag in my hand with a sigh and didn't answer my words. I'm depressed, this child, what kind of look is that? He is obviously contempt for my sister.

When I walked to a sachet stall, I was attracted by the exquisite sachets and stopped. After looking around, I finally picked up a purple satin sachet wearing white beads and shouted at Ziqin behind me, "Ziqin, come and see..." In an instant, I could no longer spit out a word in my mouth, and my smile froze on my face. Because I saw Luo Yan, a trusted man standing not far behind Ziqin and looking around.

I quickly put down the sachet in my hand, turned around and whispered to Huaishu and Ziqin, "Let's go." Seeing that my face changed greatly, Ming Jian didn't ask much. He followed me and left the crowd quietly.

Back at the inn, I said to the sword, "King Li's people have arrived."

Ming Xiao frowned, "The gate is about to close. Now we can't go out rashly."

I shook my head and whispered, "Let's stay here tonight, but everyone must be vigilant." After saying that, I looked at the two swords and asked for their opinions.

"Miss..." Ming Xiao wanted to say something else and was stopped by Ming Jian. "Ming Xiao and I will take turns to stay outside the door. Miss, please rest assured."

I nodded, and the two of them gently closed the door and retreated outside the house.
