When Shi Yu and the others were on their way to the Dongwu Empire, at the junction of the West Qin and Dongwu, a carriage was speeding through the bamboo forest.
At this time, late spring is late, and Fang Fei is gone. The green bamboos on both sides are dripping green, and the fresh and tender green is blown by the wind, and it seems that the bamboo fragrance is scattered.
Qing Chen sat cross-legged in front of the carriage, her green clothes were blown up and down by the wind, her hair was still tied with a wooden hairpin as before. His eyes were looking straight ahead, and there was not much expression on his face.
After finally reaching the end of the bamboo forest, a river appeared in front of him. On the other side of the river, a mysterious stone tablet stood there, with two large characters written in dragons and phoenixes on it - Dongwu.
This river is the border of the country.
The river is wide and there are no bridges on it. Seeing the river, Qing Chen didn't even frown, and still drove towards the river.
When the carriage was about to rush into the river, the river surface was instantly frozen, and there was only the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ice. After the carriage crossed the river, the surface of the river immediately returned to normal, the calm river was long, and time continued to flow.
After entering the Dongwu Empire, the carriage continued on its way, and it was feasible, when suddenly a person rushed out from the side and blocked the road, and the horse's front hooves immediately raised and neighed.
Standing on the road was a young woman with a pretty face, but her complexion was not very good. The dress on her body was torn, and there were some bloodstains and wounds on her body.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency, how will the imperial capital of the Dongwu Empire go?" the woman asked.
The horse had already stopped, Qing Chen glanced at her and said, "Look north all the way."
"Thank you." After thanking the woman, she looked at the carriage and said a little embarrassedly: "I... can I give you a ride? Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble. My enemy has been far away from me. Shake it off."
The woman's voice was gentle and soft, with a hearty accent that didn't belong to the Eastern Wu and Western Qin areas.
Seeing that the man in the car was still silent, she continued: "I come from the Xuanchu Empire, which is a hundred thousand miles away. It is impossible for my enemies to chase me so far."
Hearing the word Xuan Chu, Qing Chen's expression loosened.
"Xuanchu is a long way from Dongwu, why did you come to Dongwu?" He asked, and his eyes fell on her again.
When the woman heard him speak, her face showed joy. Being able to ask questions shows that there is still an opportunity for accommodation.
"My surname is Qi, and I'm here to find someone at Tobu Imperial Academy."
This time, not only the man in front of the carriage looked at her, but even the curtain inside the carriage was lifted, revealing another person's handsome face.
"You go to Tobu Imperial Academy to find someone? Who are you looking for?"
"A person named Shiyu." The woman replied, "She...is my friend." The two should be considered friends.
Although she didn't know why the stranger asked such detailed questions, she still answered them truthfully.
After getting her answer, the man sitting in front of the car seemed surprised, and finally agreed with her to get in the car.
After she got into the carriage, she realized that there was more than one person in the carriage. There is another girl who is practicing. The girl's charming face and not weak breath made her a little curious.
But when she thought about her current situation, she still suppressed her curiosity.
—
Shiyu returned to the imperial capital ten days later.
Compared with when she left before, the imperial capital seems to be much more lively. Walking in it, I feel that there are many more foreign practitioners. Walking on the road, if a plaque is dropped, it is estimated that several plaques will be dropped. This was not the case before.
"The Wudao tea plant in Shencha Mountain is about to pass the catastrophe. It's normal to attract so many people."
"However, the seal of Shencha Mountain has not been opened yet, so everyone can only wait on the periphery. Although there are many people in the imperial capital, there are more practitioners around Shencha Mountain. It is said that it has been surrounded by practitioners. Ordinary people can only watch from a distance, and they can't even get close."
Listening to Feng Lao's words, Shi Yu took a look at the Shencha Mountain from a distance, and saw a faint purple cloud over the top of the mountain. It is estimated that the last thunder disaster should still be brewing. I just don't know if the Wudao tea plant can withstand it after it is chopped off.
Walking along the way, Shi Yu went back to the academy first. Xiao Shu was invited by Feng Lao to live in Feng's Bie Yuan, and Shi Yu did not refuse.
After I returned to the attic, the attic was still as green as when I left. However, after entering, I felt inexplicably that the aura inside seemed to be much stronger than outside.
In the attic, no one else was there. As soon as Shi Yu pushed open the door, only Wen Heng was sitting on a chair in the living room, reading a book in his hand.
In front of him, in the palm-sized ice celadon basin on the bamboo table, among the white pebbles, a young bud is slowly spreading its leaves.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yu didn't know what was going on in his heart, and his heart was instantly soft like that tender leaf that had just unfolded.
Wen Heng turned a page of the book with his fingertips, but his eyes were still on the book, "Let me go, you are blocking my light."
Shi Yu was embarrassed, and quickly entered the door, "Why are you alone?"
"Half of me, I'm afraid to frighten you."
"..."
Shi Yu looked at his dusty appearance, and finally decided to clean himself up first. After going upstairs, the room is still the same as before. But Xiaoqi should still live here, and the bedding is still messy.
After she washed up and tidied up a bit, she went downstairs refreshed.
Wen Heng was still there.
"Are you and Wen Xian also going to wait for the Enlightenment Tea to pass the catastrophe before leaving?" She never expected that Wen Heng would stay here forever.
This is too extravagant.
"Ok."
"Will you come back then?"
"Look at Wen Xian himself."
Which means he won't be coming.
Shi Yu was a little disappointed.
That's right, if it wasn't for Wen Xian, Wen Heng probably wouldn't have had any interaction with them. Even after coming to the Ninth Heaven, he has always kept himself far away from the crowd. Everything owed has been repaid, and everything that is not owed has been paid. From the beginning, he and himself have been clear.
But I really wish he could be a friend.
Even if you say a few words occasionally like this in the future, it's good.
Before the farewell, Shi Yu was already melancholy.
However, her emotions obviously had no effect on the person next to him flipping through the book.
What other people have nothing to do with him, only those he cares about will affect his mood.
For example... His unlucky brother is back!
