The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

Go around the stairs and go up to the second floor, follow Xiao Er and walk through a long corridor, and finally come to the door of the two rooms at the end, which is the opposite door.

"Guest officer, are you satisfied with these two rooms? These are the only two adjacent rooms left in the store. If you are not satisfied, you can exchange other non-adjacent rooms."

Sima Yun pushed open the door and took a look, then turned around to ask Shen Zhaoxue's opinion, "What do you think?"

Shen Zhaoxue was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly responded, "I...I have no problem."

"Okay, just these two rooms." Sima Yun said.

"Hey, okay." The little girl said politely, "Then you can put your luggage first, and come down with me to pay the rent."

After speaking, Xiao Er went downstairs first, Sima Yun glanced at Shen Zhaoxue, and asked, "Where do you live?"

There should be no difference between these two rooms. Shen Zhaoxue casually pointed to the one behind her, and then heard Sima Yun say, "Go in and tidy up, and go down to eat later."

"En." Shen Zhaoxue held the bundle in both hands, watched him walk into the opposite room, then turned around and opened the door to go in.

The room was not too big or too small, with all the furniture and facilities. Living alone seemed a bit empty. Shen Zhaoxue casually put the burden on the table, then sat down on the chair, and calmed down to think about the obvious differences between herself and the general. They are husband and wife, but they have to sleep separately, it feels weird.

Not daring to delay for too long, for fear of making the general wait, Shen Zhaoxue got up and went out after sitting for a while, just as Sima Yun also came out of the room. Without saying a word, she turned and walked towards the stairs, Shen Zhaoxue was a little slower and then followed closely.

After paying the rent, they ordered a few side dishes, and the two found an empty table and sat down.

At this time, the sky had already been replaced by a starry night, and there were bursts of crickets and cicadas in the grass outside the inn, quiet and beautiful.

Sima Yun was sitting opposite Shen Zhaoxue. Neither of them spoke to each other. The atmosphere was very awkward. At this moment, Xiao Er Duan brought over fresh tea, "Guest officer, the dishes will have to wait for a while. You can have some tea first."

Shen Zhaoxue flicked up her sleeves to pick up the teapot, first filled the tea for the general opposite, and then poured a cup for herself, summoned up the courage to speak up, "Actually, Zhaoxue has never understood why the general would..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted. Sima Yun on the opposite side raised his eyes and reached out to squeeze a small teacup, "Why did I come here together?"

"Yes." Shen Zhaoxue whispered.

"I've been to the Western Regions once, so I'm quite experienced. If you don't have a guide this time, it may be very difficult for you to come back." After Sima Yun finished speaking, he suppressed the dark emotions in his eyes, and suddenly changed the subject, "Would you rather As capricious as I imagined."

Shen Zhaoxue froze, her heart beat faster, she bit her lip and replied, "...Zhaoxue just wants to do something for the Sima family."

"If you really want to do something, just sit around and do nothing, thank goodness."

"..." Shen Zhaoxue didn't understand that after doing so much, he actually looked at herself like this, and she was a little disheartened, and lost the mood to have dinner in an instant.

Some felt aggrieved, and the tip of her nose was sore. Shen Zhaoxue sniffed her nose, stood up hurriedly, almost unsteady, but still restrained her emotions, "I'm not feeling well, go upstairs to rest first." After speaking, he simply owed and turned around.

At this moment, Sima Yun noticed two tables of men in black not far away from the corner of his eye, and their eyes only followed Shen Zhaoxue.

really......

After returning to the room and closing the door, Shen Zhaoxue couldn't help breaking down and crying, but tried not to make a sound, because it was ugly and embarrassing.

At this moment, it seemed that because of the general's words, all the grievances he had suffered in the past few months, from the few months since he married into the general's mansion, were detonated. The sudden isolation and helplessness, the sudden despair, depression, cold.

Shen Zhaoxue curled up on the bed, holding her arms tightly with both hands, tears fell one by one, gradually soaking the pillow.

I don't know how long I have been crying, I was so tired that I fell asleep after crying.

But Sima Yun was sitting downstairs drinking alone at the moment, the food on the table hardly touched a chopstick, just kept drinking and drinking.

I don't know why, when I think of her dazed expression, disappointed and determined look just now, I feel so uncomfortable in my heart, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this.

Sima Yun drank a glass of wine, and the scenes flashed in his mind were all about her.

In order to verify one thing just now, she realized that she seemed to have spoken a little harshly and hurt her, but it was the right way to separate the relationship like this, but she felt uncomfortable at all.

This is the second time she has drunk for that woman.

However, the remaining sanity did not let her get drunk, after all... there are important things to do tonight.

That group of people is staring at her closely now, she knows that she can't make a move yet, after all, she is still not sure how many people are on the other side, so it's best not to act rashly.

Pretending to be drunk, Sima Yun left everything behind and staggered upstairs, then turned and went back to his room.

From this moment on, when the acting was over, Sima Yun immediately raised his vigilance and leaned behind the door, listening to the footsteps and movement outside.

Even though she was a little sleepy, she still persisted, because she knew that as long as she slackened a little, the people in the opposite room would be injured, or even die directly.

As the night got deeper, the whole inn became quieter, and it was pitch black all around.

The people in black who made a careful attack plan sneaked in through the window. When Shen Zhaoxue woke up, her hands were being held down by the men in black. She was about to open her mouth to shout, but her mouth was covered with one hand.

She was stunned and had no idea what was going on.

And at this moment, Sima Yun, who had already dealt with the accomplices of the man in black, kicked in the door, threw out the knife in his hand, and precisely cut the throat of the man in black who was covering Shen Zhaoxue's mouth, and killed him.

Seeing this, the other man in black immediately blew a whistle, even if it was the secret signal of their gang. Unfortunately, those people had already been taken down. Seeing that the mission failed, the man in black picked up the knife and was about to commit suicide. Sima Yun Yanji quickly stepped forward to stop him, and grabbed the man's neck, with a murderous look in his eyes, "Say, who ordered you to do this."

The man in black had no choice but to bite his tongue and kill himself in an instant, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes turned white, and he lost his life.

Seeing this, Sima Yun had no choice but to let go of his hand, allowing him to fall to the ground. Shen Zhaoxue was so frightened that she curled up at the corner of the bed. She couldn't help but wonder for a long time, thinking that she had never seen such a bloody scene in her life.

"How are you? Is there something wrong?" Sima Yun asked.

Shen Zhaoxue shook her head.

At this moment, Sima Yun's heart finally settled down. He bent down to pick up his saber, wiped it off the dead man's body and put it back into the scabbard. It's safe, go to sleep."

But after such a toss, Shen Zhaoxue still has no desire to sleep, it's not bad if she doesn't have nightmares.

After the turmoil subsided, Sima Yun almost fell into a deep sleep after returning to the room. She drank some wine and stayed up all night for so long before those guys started to attack. .

Everyone in the inn was almost alarmed. Fortunately, the shopkeeper ordered a few waiters to dispose of the corpses of the men in black in time, and then stood outside the room door to apologize to Shen Zhaoxue repeatedly. In order not to affect his future business, more It is to say that they will refund all the room and meal expenses to them, and only ask her not to spread the word, and not to publicize what happened tonight.

But she was rejected by Shen Zhaoxue, she is not a troublemaker, she doesn't need an apology from the shopkeeper, and she doesn't need a check-out fee, so she will keep her mouth shut.Without further ado, he raised his hand and closed the door.

The shopkeeper turned and went downstairs, scratched his head and said, "Isn't it suitable to open the door for business today? But the good thing is that the girl doesn't pursue it any further."

The next day, she accidentally fell asleep until the sun was high, and Sima Yun was still wondering why no one came to wake her up.

When he came out of the inn, he saw that the carriage and groom were also there, but Shen Zhaoxue was not seen.

Can't help asking, "Did you see Madam?"

The groom saluted and replied, "Ma'am, she..."

"What happened to her?" Sima Yun was a little worried.

"Madam said that when the general wakes up, he will leave for Beijing." The groom was a little timid, his voice trembling.

"Back to Beijing?" Sima Yun was a little surprised, and quickly asked, "Where is she?"

The groom gestured to the lotus pavilion at the back of the inn, "Madam seems to be going in that direction."

After the words were finished, Sima Yun didn't ask any more questions and strode towards the direction pointed by the groom.

There is a lotus pond at the back of the inn, and there is a pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond. Shen Zhaoxue is sitting there, looking into the distance and not knowing what she is looking at, she is very engrossed.

In this season, the lotus leaves grow vigorously, green and verdant, and lotus buds have grown in some places.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Shen Zhaoxue turned her face curiously, and when she saw that it was the general coming, she stubbornly continued to turn her head away, turning a blind eye and pretending not to see this person.

Sima Yun had no choice but to stand behind her and said, "I heard from the groom that you are going back to Beijing."

...no one responded.

"Why?" Sima Yun asked again with his hands on his hips.

Shen Zhaoxue propped her hands under the stone bench, her legs and feet dangling, her eyes staring at the dragonflies flying low among the grass on the ground, her eyes sparkling, "Since the general said, I'd better do nothing obediently, and I don't have to go to the Western Regions." .”

Impatient for a moment, Sima Yun rushed forward, then stopped quickly, "...are you angry with me?"

Shen Zhaoxue smiled lightly, "Zhaoxue dare not be angry with the general, Zhaoxue is just following orders." Her tone was light, as if she had already lost all courage and confidence, she had determined her own destiny, and no longer struggled.

"Order?" Sima Yun snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and pulled her up, making her face him, "Well, this general orders you now not to return to Beijing, and continue to set off."

Shen Zhaoxue was startled, then smiled wryly, "Why does the general..."

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, the whole person was brought into a strange but warm embrace, and Shen Zhaoxue's eyes widened in bewilderment.
