"So, did She Zhiye escape to Tolie? Are you still in the princess mansion? Did you come to me to tie me up to the princess mansion for a replacement?"

Tong Shaoxuan teased her: "No, did you see that mighty person we brought? Tell me, what posture do you want when you send it to the princess' mansion?"

Ge Xunqing fell into deep thought.

"...Are you really starting to think about posture? Just kidding."

"I really have to go find her." Ge Xunqing rarely had such a serious time, "This is a big matter, and She Zhiye must bring it back to Boling, and I can't let the military funding case be delayed by me. Come on ,Eat, drink, and I will go to the eldest princess after I am full."

"Are you going to feed a wolf with your body?"

It's fine if Tong Shaoxuan doesn't say it, but when he said that, Shi Ruzhuo frowned and objected: "No way. Think of another way."

Shi Ruzhuo's stern voice and uncompromising attitude made Ge Xunqing stunned, and she couldn't speak fluently: "I, I didn't want to feed a wolf! I went to negotiate with her! Tong Changsi! What nonsense are you talking about?" !"

Tong Shaoxuan smiled and took a sip of the wine, coughing to death.

Shi Ruzhuo was angry and funny, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift up.

Such a warm and comfortable time made her seem to have returned to Su County, to the youthful days when she had never experienced bloody swords and swords.

This trip to Zezhou made her temporarily forget everything about Boling.Master Shi and Shi Gongyu occasionally turned into Shi Ruzhuo again.

……

Ge Xunqing brought Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo to the front of the imperial city in a swaggering manner. The guards of the imperial city knew her, and when they saw that the son-in-law had returned by himself, they immediately notified the eldest princess.

After two injections of incense, the Eldest Princess drove the car herself, rattled the entire palace, and rushed to Ge Xunqing.

Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo took a look. The eldest princess looked at most twenty years old. She was wearing a gorgeous traditional costume from the ancient Torre country, holding a horsewhip in her hand, wearing a bun, and beautifully made up. Gorgeous and coquettish, it seems that she just ran away from a very important banquet.

"You—you're here?"

The eldest princess walked towards Ge Xunqing dragging her skirt, sweating from the tip of her nose in anxiety.The high-pitched tone that just got up fell down the moment he saw Ge Xunqing, as if the person in front of him would break if he was frightened by her.

If Ge Xunqing hadn't said in advance that this person was cruel, I'm afraid it would be hard for Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo to believe that this is the big princess who went on the rampage.

"I have something to tell you." Ge Xunqing said.

The eldest princess was astonishingly tall, and she probably inherited the bloodline of the ancient kingdom of Tore. Standing in front of Ge Xunqing, who was already very tall, she was actually two fingers taller than her.

She held Ge Xunqing's hand, with a gentle smile: "It's cold outside, follow me in. What do you want to tell me? I'll boil a pot of wine for you, let's talk slowly."

"No need, to make a long story short, I came today to ask for someone from you." Ge Xunqing didn't wait for the eldest princess to answer, so she continued on her own, "That person is Cangren, She Zhiye, and it's your eldest princess right now." Your Majesty, do you have an impression?"

Hearing that Ge Xunqing was asking for someone, the princess's smile also disappeared, as if she had just found out that someone else came with Ge Xunqing, and looked at Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Shi behind her with very unfriendly eyes. Ru Zhuo and a group of accompanying officials.

"Oh? You leave as soon as you say, and please people as soon as you want to please? What do you think I am?" The eldest princess finally tore off her mask, with a fierce look in her eyes.

Shi Ruzhuo put his hand on the knife at his waist, as long as the eldest princess dared to touch Ge Xunqing, she would immediately step forward and chop off her head.

"I am the eldest princess and my friend." Ge Xunqing didn't lose her sense of control at all. She was no longer the little scholar who was frightened by the master of Bailu Academy back then and became dumbfounded. The one who faced the eldest princess of the ancient kingdom of Tuoli was in the The magistrate of Cao County in Beidi for many years.

"Friend?" The eldest princess was not happy, "Who cares."

"Whether the eldest princess is happy or not, in my heart, Ge Yangguang, the eldest princess is my friend. Even if the eldest princess used barbaric means to me, I can understand that the eldest princess is a person with strong self-esteem, born with golden branches and jade leaves, You can never get what you want, and if you can't get it, you will easily go to extremes. This is closely related to your growth environment, and I can understand."

The eldest princess looked at her.

"But understanding is understanding, not forgiveness, so I can only be friends with the eldest princess."

What Ge Xunqing said was very sincere, the princess's heart seemed to be stabbed by her categorical delineation, her brows frowned suddenly, and a thin layer of tears covered her eyes.

"Besides, I already have someone who is in love with me, and I'm going to get married next year. Because she misses me, she came to visit me from Boling not far away."

With that said, Ge Xunqing turned around slowly, and looked at Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo who were standing side by side not far away.

Tong Shaoxuan: "??"

Shi Ruzhuo: "..."

Whatever is true is false.

Ge Yangguang was clearly talking nonsense!

The eldest princess' eyes suddenly shot at Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo, she was really deceived by Ge Xunqing, anxiously looking for the answer on the faces of the two, wanting to know immediately who is Ge Xunqing's destined wife .

Tong Shaoxuan leaned back slightly, wishing someone would hold a circle of torches to light up Shi Ruzhuo.

"Come on, don't be shy, come here." Ge Xunqing smiled at them.

Shi Ruzhuo jumped up and down, almost out of breath, when Ge Xunqing said:

"Come on, Chang Si, don't be shy."

Tong Shaoxuan: "??"

Shi Ruzhuo: "..."

Seeing Tong Shaoxuan still not moving, Ge Xunqing came up to pull her.

Tong Shaoxuan's lips did not move, and he squeezed out half a sentence from his lips in a vicious voice: "If your sister-in-law knows, your head will not be guaranteed..."

Ge Xunqing said urgently: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda! Don't say anything else, do you still want to take the one named She back to Boling?!"

Tong Shaoxuan: "..."

There was no other way but to play the oboe with Ge Xunqing.

Ge Xunqing held Tong Shaoxuan's arm, the smile on her face was almost out of place, her whole body was stuck to Tong Shaoxuan's arm, and she couldn't even tear it off.

"Chang Si and I are classmates in Su County, and we are also green plums. Although our family got married when we were very young, we grew up together and fell in love with each other. I have long been a person of Chang Si, and I have only raised eyebrows with Chang Si in this life. Fengluan and Ming. Right, Changsi—”

Tong Shaoxuan endured the unstoppable ups and downs in his stomach, and then Ge Xunqing said in the end of the song: "Yeah, Yangon - I can't bear to think about it day and night, so I made a special trip to see it." You. Fortunately, I am here, otherwise..."

By the way, Tong Shaoxuan gave the eldest princess a fiery look to repay her resentment for being blocked outside the imperial city.

Shi Ruzhuo put his hands behind his back, turned around slowly, lowered his head slightly, and faced the farce with the back of his head.

The members of the Privy Council were surprised to find that Mr. Shi actually laughed... It's amazing that the evil god who never kills people can laugh.

The eldest princess took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and opened them again, her face was full of unwillingness and sullenness: "You would rather do this kind of clumsy drama than be my consort, I know... I also have self-esteem, I also don’t want to hand over my dignity and let you trample on me.”

Ge Xunqing said seriously: "Everyone has their own way of life and destiny. I have always told the eldest princess that there is no need to force it."

The eldest princess lifted her skirt and went to the carriage.

Ge Xunqing saw that she had left just like that, and couldn't help reminding: "The Cang man She Zhiye I begged from the eldest princess used to be the servant of the Cang Ministry! This man committed a felony, and he fled to Torre to avoid disaster. ! If the eldest princess does not hand over this person for a long time, it is not impossible for Da Cang to raise troops for him! The eldest princess loves the people like a child, think twice!"

The eldest princess got into the carriage and looked at Ge Xunqing meaningfully: "You still care about me..."

"I... princess!"

The eldest princess walked away, Ge Xunqing wished she could throw stones at her carriage.

"Speaking for so long and acting so tired, it's useless!" Ge Xunqing exclaimed angrily.

Tong Shaoxuan comforted her and said: "I don't think this eldest princess will know how to make friends. It seems that she has a lot of affection for you, but it's a pity that she used the wrong method."

Ge Xunqing snorted: "Say it, say it again, and I'll show you the trouser legs!"

Tong Shaoxuan said with a smile: "You fuck up, you dare to fuck up, I'll take a second look and you'll think I'm a hooligan."

"Tong Changsi, are you treating your unmarried wife like this? Doesn't your conscience ache?"

Everyone in Dali Temple knew that Tong Shaoxuan had been married a long time ago and had a daughter. They had suppressed their laughter at that scene just now, but now that the people from Tuo Lie had left, they could finally laugh.

Tong Shaoxuan pointed at the culprit, Ge Yangguang: "...I think you don't want to go back to Boling, even if you go back, you should wait for Ah Shen's Zhaokong Sword."

"Sister-in-law wouldn't treat me like this, hey!"

Tong Shaoxuan said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Look at how I complain!"

Ge Xunqing looked carefully at Fa Xiao who grinned at her under the cold wind in the north and the unreal blue sky, a particularly vivid sense of reality hit her chest, moving her face.

"Okay, if you can go back to Boling, even if you get beaten up by your sister-in-law, it will be worth it."

……

After all, the eldest princess is handing over to someone.

It's just not too easy to pay.

She gave She Zhiye a carriage, and put him into the endless ice field in the middle of the night.

"Go away, go as far as you can, if you don't go fast enough, you will be caught back to Boling."

This threatening sentence made She Zhiye go crazy and gallop like crazy.

And Tong Shaoxuan also got the news, and immediately chased after him all night.

Ge Xunqing came along with her. She was more familiar with the terrain in this area, but on the vast ice field, it might not be so easy to chase someone in the middle of the night.

A group of people were frozen until their hair became needles, and they caught She Zhiye who was also frozen into a popsicle.

On such a cold winter night, She Zhiye only wore a thin jacket, and his face was purple from the cold.But this jacket just rightly won't let him freeze to death, but it will slow down his movement speed, and he won't be caught if he doesn't run very far.

It turned out that the eldest princess just wanted to punish these Cang people symbolically, and the most important thing was to punish Ge Xunqing. After all, she didn't intend to let this felon escape and lead to conquest by the Cang.

"Take—take, go." The fox fur on Shi Ruzhuo's hat was covered with a layer of ice, and he trembled instinctively when he spoke.

Seeing that the Privy Council had tied him up, the people in Dali Temple seemed to want to seize the credit, and felt a little uneasy.

But in this icy place, let alone trying to snatch someone, even if you exert a little force, you will feel that your arms will be broken in the next moment.

"No, no, it's a problem." Tong Shao hung in his cloak, shaking out these two words, only a pair of big frozen eyes were exposed all over his body, "Anyway, they are all together, Your credit, the emperor will not...Ah Choo! Forget it!"

After the whole trip, only Ge Xunqing, who was used to the severe cold in the north, was still a normal person: "...you don't talk, you're going to be frozen stupid, get in the carriage."

Without further ado, Tong Shaoxuan climbed into the carriage.

"Gongyu!" Ge Xunqing saw that the cold wind was blowing again, and Shi Ruzhuo was still instructing the Privy Council members to do things in the wind, so he walked up to her and said, "It feels like a snowstorm is coming. Hurry up and get in the carriage, and don't go back again." When there is a snowstorm, we will all die here, let's go."

"En." Shi Ruzhuo was about to get into the carriage, but because there was an extra She Zhiye in the carriage of the Privy Council, it was possible to squeeze her into the carriage and it disappeared in an instant.

Someone volunteered: "Master Shi, come up, and I will follow to drive the carriage."

"No need." Ge Xunqing made the decision for Shi Ruzhuo, "Gongyu go to my carriage."

The man wanted to speak, but Ge Xunqing blocked him back: "Guys, stop talking, close the door and go!"

Ge Xunqing raised her hand and closed the car door, and pulled Shi Ruzhuo to walk carefully on the ice, heading for her carriage ten steps away.

"Be careful." Ge Xunqing firmly held Shi Ruzhuo's palm, "Your shoes are slippery, you can't walk on the ice. You came out in too much haste, I should change your shoes... Hey!"

As he said that, Shi Ruzhuo slipped backwards, sat on the ice, and was dragged down by her along with Ge Xunqing.

Shi Ruzhuo lay on her back, gasping for breath, the white breath she exhaled occupied most of her field of vision, and the star curtain in front of her was brighter than she had ever seen before.

She and Ge Xunqing fell together, and suddenly lay side by side in an intimate way, looking at the stars inexplicably.

"Will there really be a snowstorm?" Shi Ruzhuo was fascinated by the star curtain, "Except for the wind, the night sky is so clear... The night sky here is different from Boling and Su County."

Seeing that she didn't get up immediately, Ge Xunqing didn't get up right away, and followed her to look at the starry sky: "The wind is strong, so it blows away all the clouds. But the speed of the snowstorm is extraordinary. You look at the night sky now." Beauty, soon to be engulfed by a snowstorm."

"Then how long can I... watch with you?"

Ge Xunqing thought for a while: "Let's count to ten."

"Okay." Shi Ruzhuo held Ge Xunqing's hand tightly, not letting her go, "Then count to ten, let's count the stars together, and get up when we reach the tenth count."

"Gongyu... I think you are the one who is stupid. How can counting stars be better than ten?"

Shi Ruzhuo rarely refuted Ge Xunqing: "Isn't life only a few decades? You still have to live. Since you are still alive, if you can count the stars for a day, you can count the stars. If you can count dozens, you can count the stars." Dozens of numbers."

After leaving the Northland, leaving Yangon, and returning to Boling, Shi Ruzhuo will return to her proper position, do what she should do, and the warmth of cooking wine and talking at night will be gone. .

She was a little bit reluctant.

Ge Xunqing saw emotions in Shi Ruzhuo's eyes that were different from what he remembered.

A light that is hopeless, dying, and yet therefore fearless.

Probably because of the death of a family member, or because of the great changes in life, Gong Yu did have some changes.

Abai said it all in his letter to her, talking about Gongyu's drifting away over the years.

In fact, Ge Xunqing noticed Shi Ruzhuo's changes these days, but she didn't say anything about it.

"Ten, nine, eight..." Staring at the sky, Shi Ruzhuo began to count by himself.

No matter how reluctant she is, she still has to leave, and her life will experience parting again.

Instead of being forced to end, cherish every moment and end it by yourself.

Ge Xunqing held her hand tightly and counted with her.

The cold wind made the tip of his nose turn red, and he has already lost consciousness, but the starry sky he saw in these ten days is the most beautiful night scene Shi Ruzhuo has ever seen in his life, and he will never forget it in his life.
