The setting sun sank into the lake and the boat drifted to the shore. The two of them had a comfortable fish feast at a fisherman's house on the shore and returned home in high spirits.
Days like this are really rare since the time he traveled through time. Zhao Changhe now feels a little regretful that he did not stay in the Cui family for a few more days.
It is said that I spent three days playing at the riverside horse farm with Yangyang, but that was mainly to learn horse riding rather than to enjoy the fun of playing.
Thinking about the regretful look in the little girl's eyes at that time, I feel a little regretful now.
After such a long time, I don't know how the little girl is doing now. I forgot that I didn't... In fact, Zhao Changhe still thinks that Yangyang's so-called "love" is mostly the dependence and touching of the little girl born in danger, which may not be true love. After so long, it may not be there. This is also what Cui Wenjing meant by the three-year agreement. Obviously, the old fox also thinks so.
I should have been more decisive at that time, and put a stamp on the little girl's pink lips, and I probably wouldn't have to think about these things...
I was too innocent at that time and was not worthy of being called a bandit.
Is it the same now? Zhao Changhe glanced at Tang Wanzhuang who was walking quietly beside him and sighed.
This is different.
This is precisely because he has expressed that he is not interested, so he feels comfortable getting close to you. A few verbal flirtations will be fine, but once he really develops dirty thoughts, the relationship is guaranteed to fall apart.
What a pity, she is really good-looking, so beautiful.
Especially at this moment, with a slightly melancholy look on her face, she really looks like Xi Shi frowning. When I see her, I hate that I don’t have a brush to record the beauty of this moment.
There is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women. Even if there is no thought beforehand, it is natural to be attracted to each other when faced with such a beauty.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Changhe couldn't help but find a topic to talk about.
"I'm thinking about your songs. It's a pity that Wanzhuang can't laugh at this world. Maybe when I look back many years later, I can do it."
That is not Yue Hongling's song. Yue Hongling is still young and doesn't have that kind of intention. Maybe she can do it in the future... And if Tang Wanzhuang lets go of everything in the future, she can do it too.
That might be Zhao Changhe's advice to her, "Be more free and easy." In fact, why would she need advice? Wasn't that the future picture she had been looking forward to in her heart
Who doesn't want to sing and drink, and live freely in this world
It’s a pity that she can’t do it at this moment, and what’s even more regrettable is that she may not have a future at all.
Even for stealing this fleeting day, Tang Wanzhuang felt a little guilty, and even suddenly had an ominous sign that something bad was going to happen.
When the two of them returned to the Tang family, it was already late. Wu Weiyang, the general of the Demon Suppression Division, hurried into Tang Wanzhuang's waterside pavilion and saw Baoqin sitting on a stone with her knees hugged in a daze.
"Miss Qin, is the abbot resting? Please tell him that Wu Weiyang wants to see you."
Baoqin looked up at him blankly: "The young lady is not at home."
Wu Weiyang said, "Oh, where did the chief go on business? I will go find her."
“… Why does the lady have to be on business unless she is resting?”
Wu Weiyang was stunned: "Ah?"
Baoqin rested her chin on her knees and muttered, "But I don't know if this counts as business for the young lady. She didn't bring Baoqin with her. Does that mean she won't need Baoqin in the future..."
Wu Weiyang: ""
Tang Wanzhuang stepped into the courtyard at this time: "Why is Weiyang here? What happened?"
"Master!" Wu Weiyang stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Urgent news from the border, the northern barbarians have deployed troops at Yanmen, and the capital is shaken."
Baoqin was startled and looked up. Tang Wanzhuang was standing there quietly, not saying a word for a long time.
Wu Weiyang also carefully looked up at her expression, but found it very calm.
There is no anger or anxiety as imagined, but instead a little... regret
After a long while, Tang Wanzhuang finally sighed and said, "Chi Li came to Jiangnan in the first place to communicate with Maitreya... Now that the Hu people have made a move, Maitreya should also respond at this time."
"Yes, I am here to see the chief for this matter. Maitreya is likely to raise troops in the next few days. We are in Jiangnan, what should we do?"
Tang Wanzhuang shook her head slightly: "In the past few days, we have asked the brothers of the Demon Suppression Division within the Maitreya faction to act in secret, and they will cooperate with us in the future. As for other things, we can't do anything due to the limitations of our duties..."
After a pause, he continued, "I will go to Nanjing immediately to take charge of the situation. As long as Nanjing is still there, it can support Gusu, and Jiangbei has the support of Yangzhou, so the situation is not too bad. In fact, if Maitreya raises troops at this time, the timing is not right and nothing can be accomplished."
Wu Weiyang nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately, the matter of Suyang and Yangzhou... that person did a great job."
He lowered his voice and said, "Don't say that we didn't expect it in advance. He himself probably didn't expect that his experience in solving two cases would be so important. It's really destiny."
Tang Wanzhuang said calmly, "Be careful with your words." Wu Weiyang pursed his lips and whispered, "Mile's move was not timely, but it might be dealt with... However, once this happened, bandits swarmed, aristocratic families occupied the city, and sects defended themselves, and the world was in chaos."
It was unclear whether the words were pure worry or a hint of encouraging the Tang family to split off from Jiangdong. Tang Wanzhuang thought of what Zhao Changhe said yesterday, sighed slightly, and did not reply. She just said: "Before going to Jinling, I still have to go to Zhao Changhe. There are some things that I haven't finished and must finish. You go find my brother... No, you go find Buqi who is in seclusion, ask him to come out and help him manage Gusu."
Wu Weiyang bowed and accepted the order: "Yes."
Tang Wanzhuang said no more and went to the guest house in a flash.
… …
At this time, Zhao Changhe was still lying on the bed reading the heavenly book.
This time, the person he was facing was no longer the old man Sword Emperor, but Tang Wanzhuang, who had practiced with him when he was helping him modify his special skills in the morning.
I knew it was just an illusion, but it was too real. Even when I made a mistake while feeding her a move, the anger in her eyes reappeared. The fragrance on her body was so familiar that it was as if she was really by my side. The slowed-down movements allowed you to look closely and even see the tiny hairs on her hands.
Zhao Changhe always felt that with her slow movements, he could just hug her and give her a kiss.
But this is just an illusion, you can't even touch it. Isn't it a bit perverted to have such an idea
It's so tragic. I clearly intended to review the special skills from the heavenly book, but in the end I didn't practice any of them. I was just daydreaming.
It's true that he has been holding it in for too long... Zhao Changhe even had a thought in his mind, can he solve it himself? He can't just wait for Chi Chi, Chi Chi also thinks that he shouldn't hold it in, and encourages him to find it... I haven't found it, it's not a crime to do it myself, right
But I also feel that it is too low to direct the film myself at this stage. If the Heavenly Book sees this, I will be so embarrassed that I will be thrown into another world...
Just as I was struggling, I seemed to hear Tang Wanzhuang talking: "Mr. Zhao..."
Zhao Changhe was stunned: "What the hell? Am I too abnormal to have hallucinations?"
Tang Wanzhuang's voice was very strange: "What is perverted?"
The sound is outside the house! Zhao Changhe suddenly woke up, and his mind suddenly withdrew from the illusion of the heavenly book. He stuffed the gold foil into his arms, jumped up and opened the door.
As expected, it was the real Tang Wanzhuang standing there, looking him up and down with suspicious eyes: "Master Zhao... What kind of hallucination is this?"
Zhao Changhe: “…”
It’s over. Anyone who hears this wouldn’t think that he was dreaming about Tang Wanzhuang
"Uh, no..." Zhao Changhe was extremely embarrassed. He had no choice but to avoid the topic and asked directly, "Why are you coming to my place so late?"
Fortunately, Tang Wanzhuang was not in the mood to investigate whether he was having an erotic dream, and said directly: "The Hu people are heading south, and Maitreya is starting an uprising at this time. This time it is not you who is in a hurry to leave, but I should leave."
Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat and he pursed his lips.
Tang Wanzhuang said: "It's a pity that you have only just started learning the zither. I wonder if you will still have the heart to continue practicing the zither when you are out and about in the world..."
Zhao Changhe could only say, "I'll practice when I have a chance. You actually want me to leave? Don't you plan to keep me here to help?"
"It is not suitable for you to lead an army at this time. It is meaningless to stay in the army for nothing." Tang Wanzhuang said, "You should leave Jiangnan as soon as possible and seek ways to improve yourself elsewhere. Wanzhuang came here to fulfill a few promises that I should have taught you slowly."
Zhao Changhe had forgotten what he had promised: "What did you promise?"
"Back then, I asked you to calm down and slow down... First, I wanted you to stop squeezing out your potential and rushing for success, and to settle down. Second, I wanted to teach you the Tang family's Moon Reflected in the Water method when the time comes, to help you stabilize your spiritual platform and remove the impurities from the Blood Evil Pearl so that you can extract the evil spirit. It's not just for playing the piano." Tang Wanzhuang handed over two booklets: "Now there is not enough time, so I can only hand over the secret manual, and I can't teach you in detail."
"..." Zhao Changhe almost forgot about this. He always felt that writing and playing the piano these days were enough... Now I remembered that it was indeed said that it was just to lay a foundation for learning the mental method, and learning the mental method was for the Blood Evil Pearl...
Fortunately, Tang Wanzhuang still remembers it clearly.
He took it without hesitation: "Thanks. Huh? Why two?"
Tang Wanzhuang said: "If you learn the Tang family's mental method, you can use our treading water and floating light skills. This is one of your weaknesses, and it will be a good supplement to your martial arts."
Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment, then sighed, "You said your mother never played nursery rhymes for you, but I think my mother treated me just like that. You're making it even more difficult for me to leave."
Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly: "You should know why I am so good to you. You don't have to think of it as a favor. If you really have some feelings, you should know what I want to see... and that is not to waste time here."
Zhao Changhe couldn't help but ask, "If someone else was the prince, would you treat him the same way?"
Tang Wanzhuang subconsciously wanted to say yes, but the words got stuck at her lips and she couldn't say them.
The two of them stood in front of the house under the moon, looking at each other quietly, and suddenly became speechless.
