Jiang Xuening didn't expect Xie Wei to be waiting for him.
She walked out of the house holding the box, and when she saw the car waiting for her outside and the sword book standing beside her, she almost had the illusion that her memory went back to two years ago.
When he opened the curtain of the car to enter, and saw Xie Wei, he became more and more dazed.
He was lowering his head and slowly tidying up the pleats on his sleeves. When he saw her coming in, he just looked up and said, "Let's go."
His expression was indifferent, but it seemed that he had waited for her for a long time.
There was a slight tiredness on the edge of the eyebrows, but it was not obvious. This is not because he is not tired, it is just because he is used to it.
Except for the night he sat beside her bed, whether it was a real or a dream, Jiang Xuening had hardly seen him again during the war.
The front line is advancing rapidly, and if the rear cannot keep up, it will be out of touch.
Lu Xian is powerful, and he is only in charge of the word "money and food". He has no official position, and he does not dare to say that he has complete vision and authority to handle matters in the rear. Naturally, Xie Wei wants to take care of him everywhere. It can even be said that the rear of the front is far busier than the front.
Jiang Xuening softly said "Hello sir" and sat quietly opposite Xie Wei.
She was still holding the box in her hand.
Xie Wei raised his eyes and glanced at it, and said, "After welcoming the princess back this time, your wish is fulfilled. Then leave the border, where are you going?"
Jiang Xuening didn't think that he would be so straightforward, but after a second thought, he felt that it was normal: Lu Xian heard it that night, and it was not surprising that Xie Wei had an understanding of her plan. What's more, he understands people's hearts, if she can't see through her so little thought, how can she be worthy of being the emperor's teacher
only…
With her fingers on the edge of the wooden box, she lowered her eyes and said, "I dare not tell Mr.
Xie Wei said: "At this time, I'm willing to tell the truth again. But if I don't let you go, where can you escape?"
Jiang Xuening fell silent.
Seeing her like this, Xie Wei felt so heartbroken. For a moment, he wanted to scold her no matter what he said, and wake her up. But she was so frightened that she woke her up, and she ran to find Zhang Zhe without hesitation.
The carriage left the city and drove towards Yanmen Pass.
When Shen Zhiyi went to kiss, it was twilight;
Now that they went to greet her, the morning light was dim.
There was silence in the car for a while.
After a long time, Xie Wei glanced at the box she was holding, and remembered the girl who was sobbing and hugging her knees back then, so she asked, "Shen Zhiyi, what kind of virtue and what ability, it's worth your dedication to her. All, go through fire and water?"
There is some irony in these words.
Jiang Xuening only felt stabbed by these words, raised his eyes to look at him, his pupils were a little more indifferent, and only said: "His Royal Highness is very good to me."
Her impression of Shen Zhiyi in her previous life was really not a good one.
But in this life, she just painted a petal of cherry blossoms for her at the Double Ninth Banquet in Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion, and said something so obvious and flattering, and she really treated her with sincerity.
She was her backer when she studied in Fengchen Hall.
I know that she has a bad temperament, but I believe that after I like it, I will condone her and bless her. No matter how others slandered her, Shen Zhiyi never doubted her from beginning to end.
But such a good person, but because of her identity as a princess, she was ups and downs in the treacherous court, and she had to leave her hometown, go to Tartar and relatives, and accept an unpredictable fate...
Jiang Xuening could not forget that Shen Zhiyi, who was almost under house arrest two years ago, celebrated her birthday in Mingfeng Palace. And in the middle of the night, the bowl of longevity noodles was quietly brought by the palace servants...
I just remember crying a lot.
The noodle soup is full of salty and astringent tears falling from the drop of tears. In the end, it is delicious or not, but I don't have much deep impression.
Jiang Xuening blinked and said slowly, "Sir, you can't do a person like Your Highness, and neither can I."
She said it very seriously.
However, Xie Wei only pulled the corners of his lips coldly: "Being in prison, being constrained by others, and being a fish under the knife, Xie really can't do such a person."
Jiang Xuening was choked to the point of being speechless.
Simply do not say.
As the sky gradually brightened outside, the Yanmen Pass, which was built at the junction of the two mountains, was finally getting closer.
The sandstorm outside the pass has blown away countless traces of vicissitudes on the nearby city walls of rammed earth.
Flags flying high above the city gate.
There is also a siege city that winds along the mountain, with three large stone walls and more than 20 small stone walls built outside, almost enclosing the entire Guancheng into a solid fortress.
The inside of the pass is the fertile soil of the Central Plains, and the outside of the pass is the desert sand.
Shen Zhiyi still remembered the various sights she saw when she left the capital all the way from the capital.
Phenological changes, from prosperous to desolate.
At that time, the car passed Yanmen, and she looked back. The gray-white and yellow city walls were stained with blood in the twilight. There was a kind of poignant beauty; The wind whimpered in the broad wilderness, and a winding and fuzzy road stretched forward, but it seemed to be connected to the horizon and never ended.
After two years of hardships, she never thought that she would come back alive one day.
The playmate of his youth has become the general who rules the three armies. At this moment, he is in front of the car, riding on the back of a black-hoofed horse, and the gradually bright light of the sky falls on his shoulders.
Shen Zhiyi only felt one thing was right and wrong.
Even full of desolation, not much joy.
Her bulging belly indicated the fact that she was about to become a mother, and it also made her worry about the predicament she was about to face.
All this gradually became clear as the carriage approached Yanmen.
At this moment, inside and outside the Guancheng, all the soldiers have long been lined up, the armor is neat and tidy on the city walls, and there may be scars on the faces that are still wet with blood. But whether they are young or young, they all stand in the direction of the Northwest Wilderness!
I don't know who first saw this winding line like a long dragon from a distance, and the handsome flag that the team was heading for, and suddenly shouted loudly: "General Yan's handsome flag is General Yan's handsome flag! The princess is back. , Her Royal Highness is back—"
At that moment, Jiang Xuening was shocked.
After she arrived at Yanmen Pass, she followed Xie Wei up the high city wall and looked at it, but the rising sun in the east was blazing bright, but she couldn't help opening her eyes, and she couldn't see clearly.
It was not until the long motorcade finally passed the shining spots of light in Jiang Xuening's sight that she finally saw it clearly.
"Your Highness!"
Her heartbeat suddenly became violent, and she didn't even think about it. She picked up the corner of her skirt and turned around like a flapping bird, ran away from Xie Wei, and followed the steep steps on the city tower towards Run below.
Xie Wei reached out his hand subconsciously, but only touched the corner of her clothes.
The brocade sleeve robe slipped like the wind, leaving a little coolness on his fingertips.
When he looked up again, he was already under the tower.
With the wind and cold on his face, Jiang Xuening ran straight from the countless soldiers standing under the city tower as if he couldn't feel it.
The people around couldn't help but stare at her in surprise.
However, she still passed through the wide-open city gate all the way, towards the team that was gradually approaching Yanmen Pass, towards the most special frame in the team, still shouting: "His Royal Highness—"
Shen Zhiyi's cold heart suddenly trembled.
That vaguely familiar voice came against the wind.
She stood up and suddenly opened the curtain of the car in front of her!
The girl who drew her hand on her cheek when she raised her hand, the girl who relied on her to do whatever she wanted, the girl who dragged her by the sleeve in the imperial garden and said she was going to take her away, just like that. The city gate tower, which had been eroded by the wind and sand for a long time, ran out, bursting into her sight with a long-lost, fiery freshness...
She suspected that she was in a dream.
The hot flashes from the bottom of her eyes almost filled her cold heart.
Nothing has changed.
That Jiang Xuening has not changed.
The team stopped.
Yan Lin reins his horse in silence.
Jiang Xuening finally came to the front of the car. She was in a hurry, but when she was really close, she raised her eyes and saw Shen Zhiyi standing on the carriage. The gorgeous palace clothes of the old years were worn on her body, which made her look a little too big, swaying in the wind like a page of paper.
So a sudden anger suddenly hit her.
She stopped, and tears flashed in her bright eyes.
However, in the next moment, he bent his lips a little stubbornly.
The wooden box was close to my heart.
In the brilliance of the rising sun, and in the strong wind blowing from the frontier, Jiang Xuening bent his knees and half-kneeled under the chariot, but held up the wooden box, stared at the standing princess, and smiled brightly: "Your Highness, your Homeland, homeland, and hometown.”
In another day, Yan Lin led a great team of iron hooves to break through the Yanmen.
With this homeland, come to welcome me—
Return to the homeland, return to the old capital!
Shen Zhiyi almost forgot that in order to deceive her, she had made such rhetoric and made such a promise with her...
But she didn't take it as a joke.
The tears that had been in her eyes for a long time finally rolled down when she took over the wooden box from her hand and opened it. She bent over and hugged the young companion tightly, but the blocked throat became so hard that she couldn't make a sound.
The wilderness outside is boundless.
The large army inside and outside Yanmen Pass was like a tide, but at this moment, they all bowed down and bowed to the beautiful princess they could not see clearly in the car.
The voice made a wave and was involved in the sky.
It turned into a flood, and it rang in people's ears.
The sound of the wind is hunting, the flags and flags are in sight, and they are prominent in the vast frontier.
Xie Ju'an stood high above the city wall and did not move a step.
He is like a towering mountain and cliff, not changed by the joys and sorrows of the world, just looking down at the world of clutching and reunion so coldly, and then evoking a faint smile.
Shen Zhiyi's gaze crossed the void, and unexpectedly landed on the city tower, colliding with his sight from afar.
It was the old man who gave lectures in Fengchen Hall.
However, at this moment, the long-lost kindness and familiarity did not appear in her heart, only a icy chill soaked into the bone marrow, and at the same time there was an indescribable irony and sadness.
In the end, she grew up in the palace, and it is not without growth in the Tartar in these years. As early as when Yan Lin led the army to break through the royal court of the Tartar, she had already noticed one or two abnormalities.
Ask Yanlin, but Yanlin doesn't say anything.
Until this moment, she saw Jiang Xuening who should not have appeared at the border gate, and Xie Juan who should not have appeared...
Shen Zhiyi hugged Jiang Xuening tighter, with red eyes and a choked laugh: "Silly Ningning."
