Dongyin

? Duan Hong insisted on going to Yuanyang Lake, but no one could persuade him.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Duan Hong was fully dressed and ready to go out.The few lanterns lit in the palace are as if they were not lit.

Two eunuchs were lighting the lights in front of them, and Duan Hong walked away with his head down and expressionless.

Seeing the door, he led the horses from left to right, and Duan Hong rode up and stopped before going out.I saw three carriages outside the gate, one belonged to Bai Yan, one belonged to Zhuang Ji, and one belonged to Shan Junxiang!

"The prime minister heard that His Majesty had a way to find that expert, and was so happy that he stayed up all night. He ordered people to prepare the carriage all night, and waited for dawn to go with His Majesty."

Duan Hongying didn't answer either, looking at Bai Yan's car.She still wanted to go in the end, but for some reason, Duan Hong was still unable to cheer up. If Bai Yan had agreed to her last request yesterday, then her mood at this moment would be completely different.After watching for a while, she finally dismounted, handed the golden whip to the attendant, and walked silently towards Zhuangji's chariot.

"The weather these two days is surprisingly good, and the scenery over the Yuanyang Lake is also good." As soon as Duan Hong got into the carriage, Zhuang Ji smiled at her and said, "Your Majesty, you should hurry up and have a good time."

"The prime minister is right." Duan Hong leaned his head against the wall of the car and stopped talking.

After bumping all morning, I finally arrived at the edge of Yuanyang Lake.Zhuang Ji opened the curtain and looked at it, and sighed, "This is the place. This old man in the lake has turned around hundreds of times, but there is nowhere to go. A few times, I really came to a weird place, and I didn't have time to look carefully. What's the matter?" I came back again, thinking that some kind of mystery has been spread here, making it difficult to get in."

Duan Hong also looked at the lake, only to see that the half of the lake was shrouded in fog, and some boats were coming and going in the middle, as if it were an illusion.This lake should not be too big.Duan Hong took out Shan Junxiang's map to look at, and while estimating the position, he handed the map to Zhuang Ji for viewing.

Zhuang Ji looked at the picture and said in thought, "If this picture is true, the quiet place will not be disturbed. You can place the troops here first, and you and I will bring a small team and travel lightly."

Duan Hong nodded, got off the car and got on the horse without explaining anything to Bai Yan, just followed the picture and left.

A group of people rode through the mist without feeling anything unusual. After about half an hour, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.There is a sandy beach at the foot, and when you look over, there are small hills in the distance, which are undulating, and it really feels a bit out of this world.Looking at the picture, Duan Hong deduced Chu Xiying's location, because he said to Zhuang Ji, "It's already noon, I think it's better to rest for a while, and look for it in the afternoon."

After bumping for so long, Zhuang Ji was already exhausted, but because of face, he kept refusing to speak. Now that Duan Hong had spoken, he hurriedly got off his horse and rested as he said.

Duan Hong rode his horse, swaying here and there, as if checking the terrain, and then slipped away quietly while no one was paying attention.

But Duan Hong searched along the road for a long time, let alone a house, he didn't even see a tree, looking in all directions, they were all the same.Just as she was losing her patience, there were sneaky footsteps behind her.Duan Hong hurriedly turned the horse's head over, the horse suffered from pain, raised its hooves and neighed, and saw a smear of pink slid to the ground, and half of the basket of water flew out.

It turned out to be Ying'er, Duan Hong was quite surprised, "Why are you here?"

"I haven't asked you yet!" Ying'er rubbed her waist, got up and said, "I thought it was some lunatic running around here, but it was you!"

circle?Duan Hong was startled and looked around, only to realize that the scenery was very different just now, behind Ying'er was a straight path leading directly to a small hut not far away.What's going on here, did she hit a ghost?

"Hey, you are stupid!"

Duan Hongcai came back to his senses, got off the horse, and saw that Ying'er was holding a wet fish basket in his hand, the water was half full, and a herring was lying on the ground with its mouth wide open.Duan Hong took a look, threw the horse rope to her, and went straight to the small hut regardless of how she yelled.

The courtyard was only slightly surrounded by bamboo strips, and only a triangular pole for drying clothes was set up in the courtyard, and Duan Hong stepped over it with one foot.

There is only a square table and a few stools in the main room.Such a place can actually live in people.Duan Hong looked at the table, was silent for a while, and then walked inside.

The room was extremely small, separated by a curtain in the middle, Duan Hong raised the curtain and was stunned.

There was very little fire inside, and in the green smoke, there were stacks of papers piled up in front of the brazier, and a woman knelt on the futon, burning one by one.

Time seemed to stand still, Duan Hong's mind was blank for a moment, and then she rushed in quickly.

Chu Xiying was one step ahead of her, and put all the stack of papers into the brazier.White smoke rose from the basin, which immediately turned into a dazzling fire.Duan Hong was inexplicably flustered, he knelt down on the dumpling and went to shoot the fire.

Chu Xiying grabbed her hand and looked at her in surprise, "Hong'er!"

The cuffs were burnt black, and it took Duan Hong a long time to react. She stretched out her hand in vain to look at the paper that was almost burned, and said, "Why did you burn it?"

"These are just ordinary notes, and it's useless to keep them." Chu Xiying was no longer as frightened as before, with mixed feelings, but he didn't know what it was like. "What do you think?"

"I..." Duan Hong couldn't answer.

Chu Xiying looked at her, sighed softly in his heart, got up and took out the brazier.

Duan Hong was still kneeling and sitting on the futon, he was also confused, what was she anxious about just now?

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Xiying came in with tea, and saw Duan Hong still sitting on the ground in a daze.Yin put the tea on the table, poured out a cup, and brought it to her.Only then did Duan Hong get up to take the tea, drank it all in one gulp, put the cup on the plate, and sat down on the bed without saying a word.

Chu Xiying also sat on the bed and asked, "Why are you here?" Guan Duan Hong's expression was more gloomy than a month old, and there was a murderous look between his brows.How did Duan Hong become like this?

Duan Hong didn't look at her, and said in a low voice, "I'll leave after I have a meal."

Chu Xi lingered and ached again, hesitated for a while, and said, "I heard from Mrs. Shan that Princess Mingyan has come to Liangcheng."

Duan Hong just nodded, looked at the stacks of books at the end of the bed, took one casually, flipped through it, and sighed, "You are still reading, these books kill too much, they are not suitable for you."

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Chu Xiying stopped asking, and only said, "The art of war is profound and profound. Since ancient times, there are not a few literati who use soldiers to discuss Taoism. Although the theories are different, the underlying principles are similar." At first she read it because of Duan Hong, but later, it was the mystery of calligraphy that attracted her.

Duan Hong felt reasonable, so he stopped talking.

The two had their own thoughts, and the room fell silent.After an unknown amount of time, Ying'er was out yelling for dinner, and the two of them went out.

Two dishes and one soup, Duan Hong leaned forward to look at it, suddenly took two steps back to look at the table, and said sternly, "Why is this table placed here? It is not suitable for a table to face directly from the door."

"You know everything." Ying'er sneered, "Why are you still fascinated by that brat?"

"What brat?" Chu Xiying was puzzled.

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Duan Hong interrupted Ying'er, pointed to the left corner and said, "How about putting it there?"

Ying'er snorted softly, and said dissatisfiedly, "You're a weird person, but after a meal, how do you care about the arrangement of the tables and benches?"

"Ying'er!" Chu Xiying secretly winked at her, then nodded and smiled at Duan Hong, feeling a little nervous.

Duan Hong ignored the staring shadow, and moved the table over. After finishing, she sat down and looked at it, and said to Chu Xiying seriously, "The table and the door are directly facing each other, which is what Fengshui says. If it turns against each other, it will cause the vitality of the house to leak out."

Seeing that she was satisfied, Chu Xiying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Duan Hong's mood also improved a lot, but just after eating halfway, the sky suddenly became clear outside, and there were a few spots of light on the table.

"This house..." Duan Hong looked up to the top, and a beam of light hit her eyes directly, "This house is going to leak rain?!"

Ying'er was beside her and said disdainfully, "It seems that you only know about the bad Feng Shui." If it wasn't leaking, who would be willing to put the table there.

Duan Hong asked, "Then why don't you cultivate?"

Chu Xiying didn't know how to tell her, "We'll be here soon, and we'll be leaving in two days."

"Stay for two days, what if it rains?" Duan Hongcai didn't believe her, and poked up on it, "It's enough to find someone to look through the thatch."

"Hong'er" Chu Xiying pressed her hand, and said, "Aren't you busy this afternoon, you can eat in peace."

"But..." Duan Hong had no choice but to sit down again, looking at the dish, his appetite was gone.

Chu Xiying forced herself to settle down to eat, ignoring Duan Hong's mood.Time seemed to slow down, and every move was extremely difficult. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and the world seemed to reset.

Duan Hong put down his chopsticks, hugged the bench and went out.

"Miss, look." Ying'er secretly smiled beside her, and saw Duan Hong put the bench upright on the ground, ready to climb up to the top.

"Hurry up and help me." Chu Xi lingered looking outside the house, a warm current flowing from the atrium into the eye sockets.All the waiting was worth it. Fortunately, Duan Hong didn't say anything, so she could think it wishful thinking.

As the sun began to set, Duan Hong finally turned over the roof.It was the first time she did this kind of thing, and she was sweating profusely, but she was extremely happy.Ying'er brought hot water, Duan Hong hurriedly washed his face, and only then did he think of Zhuangji.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xiying couldn't help worrying when she saw her complexion suddenly become serious.

"I'm leaving." Duan Hong handed the handkerchief to her, quite reluctant.

"Okay" Chu Xiying trembled, and hurriedly concealed that Ying'er called "bring the horse here." After that, she turned around and entered the room, tears fell without warning. There has never been a single separation, which made her feel like this It's hard to let go.What happened to her?Chu Xiying didn't have time to think about it, so she went to the room to wipe away her tears, and then hurried out again.

Duan Hong led Ma Li in the courtyard, waiting to say goodbye to her.Chu Xiying took a deep breath and walked over slowly.

Duan Hong climbed on the horse, hesitantly said, "Why don't you go back with me, it's dangerous for the two of you to live here."

"Ordinary people can't get in here." Chu Xiying tried hard to control her emotions, untied a jade pendant from her neck, and said with a forced smile, "This jade was given to me by your mother back then. A gift from others, you..."

Duan Hong looked at her steadily.

Chu Xiying took a deep breath, afraid that if she said another word, tears would pour out like a gate, because she gave the jade pendant to Duan Hong's hand, and slapped the horse's buttocks with tears in her eyes, "you go."

The horse trotted for a while, Duan Hong hastily reined in the rope, turned around and saw that Chu Xiying had turned and walked in.She lowered her head to look at the jade pendant in her hand, feeling sore in her heart, she just waved her whip and sent it away.

"Miss, I see that Princess Mingyan is here and she is not doing well."

"Stop talking nonsense." Chu Xi lingered looking at the path that had already been empty, and his heart tightened, "Okay!"

"What?" Ying'er couldn't help thinking.

She forgot to tell her how to get back. "
