Snow Chihiro

Chapter 39. Visitors from outside the Great Wall

=====================

It is a warm thing for someone to leave a candle for you.There are not many people in the world who can always think of doing delicate things for you, so you should cherish them even more when you meet them.

Dongfang Li stood there motionless, but Xue Qianxun seemed to have a feeling, she turned her head in a daze and opened her eyes, with sweat dripping on her forehead, she saw Dongfang Li showing a smile.

The smile was so gentle that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Left envoy."

"Ah."

The two looked at each other and became silent. Xue Qianxun still smiled warmly, but Dongfang Li felt a little embarrassed. She sat aside and started talking: "I plan to go to the capital."

These words caught Xue Qianxun's attention, she woke up instantly, just about to say follow, but swallowed it back.She has seen what Dongfang Li has done these days. Although she didn't say it clearly, she also knows her intentions. There are important things to do. If Dongfang Li leaves her, it will be even more difficult. "Is it because of Zhang Yike?"

"Exactly." Dongfang Li nodded, and sighed: "Even Huo Ming doubted me. This time I sat on the left envoy as soon as I came back, and I was really put on a rack." After being transferred from his position, he became the target of public criticism again. If Li Duo hadn't been an undercover agent for Jin Yiwei, her situation would be very bad now.However, I hope that after all, I can't put it on others. If she holds the power of the left envoy and wins the banner of fire, she is bound to win it.

"Did someone do something about Zhang Yike on purpose?" Xue Qianxun sat up when she was talking about the business, her hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked at Dongfang Li intently.

"I think it's accidental. Zhang Yike is domineering. It's not impossible to offend anyone if he doesn't agree with the truth. It's just that the gods are famous and his martial arts are quite high, so he rarely suffers. If he really introduces a scapegoat this time Come on, I am sure someone will be framed, but the pedestrian looks like an outsider, so there is more possibility of coincidence."

"Beyond the Great Wall..." Xue Qianxun frowned slightly, "Is it a foreign race?"

"The report said that those people spoke Chinese, but they were upright, and their characters were round and accented. The leader used a long sword, not a saber as usual outside the Great Wall. Since this matter is in the fire flag, I can't ignore it."

Xue Qianxun nodded, "When is the envoy Zuo going to leave? I'll make preparations for you." She held onto Dongfang Li's hem as she spoke, knelt up and gently took off her outer robe.Dongfang Li let her untie her belt, then put her legs up and lay down on the bed. I have to say that with such a woman by my side, life will be much easier and more comfortable. "There are still some things to deal with here. Well, this matter should be done sooner rather than later." She grabbed Xue Qianxun's hand that continued to unbutton her, put it back beside her and patted it, "Go to sleep."

Flicking her sleeves lightly, the candle was extinguished before she had time to struggle. Xue Qianxun lay down as she said, but she felt that falling asleep was no longer as peaceful as it was a few days ago.This sense of insecurity used to accompany her day and night, and she left at the most dangerous time because of her thin and slender back, and came back a year ago when she had the strength to protect herself safely.Ever since she got to know Dongfang Li, the peace of mind and uneasiness seemed to be tied to her.She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and finally couldn't help asking: "Zuoshi, where have you been this year?" She knew that this question was stupid, since Dongfang Li didn't explain after returning, it meant that she had no intention of explaining, but she still I asked, but I can't explain the reason, even if I know [-]% of the time, I can't get the answer.

However, after Dongfang Li was silent, he quietly opened his mouth, "You know that martial arts."

"You mean the Sunflower Collection? Since the palace...isn't it only for men?"

Dongfang Li smiled softly, "There is nothing in this world that can only be done by a certain kind of person. After I got that book and read it, I found that the key point is not the self-government, but abstinence. This book It’s a book compiled of miscellaneous Taoism and double-cultivation techniques. When you practice, you will be born with heat, and it will be difficult to maintain yourself, and you will die for a long time, so you need to learn it with abstinence.”

Xue Qianxun shuddered when she heard the words, abstinence, the man left the palace, the woman wanted... She recalled that when she scrubbed Dongfang Li's body, there seemed to be nothing missing. He said, "I left in order to create an illusion and...to avoid you. After that, I started to search for the method of practicing. It was good at first, but I practiced for a long time, so I inevitably suffered some hardships."

She said it lightly and delicately, but Xue Qianxun couldn't help holding her hand. With Dongfang Lizhi's personality, it was said to be bitter, so the pain can be imagined.

"At that time, I also wanted to stop, but I couldn't hold back my martial arts. This martial arts is very overbearing. If I didn't learn it from the Qingping line of Taoism, I might not be able to come back. I recalled the few times my predecessors said. In this place, I went to the end of Tianshan Mountain and went to the south, but I couldn't find a solution. After nearly three months, I accidentally found a cold pool in Xiangyang. I drank the water, soaked in the bath, and ate the fish. I got it, I'll come out after I'm done." She didn't talk about the rest of the matter, inexplicably, the entanglement with Jin Yiwei, or the entanglement with that person, she didn't want to talk to her.As for the cold pool, she didn't discover it by accident. She ran to the south of Tianshan Mountain, but she couldn't find the cold jade bed mentioned by Mr. Jin. In the end, she had no choice but to think of the valley of love flowers in the divine sculpture, the water of the cold pool. At the last moment, he decided to jump off the cliff and saved his life.She also spoke vaguely in this paragraph, she couldn't tell whether she didn't want Xue Qianxun to know the specific situation, or... didn't want her to worry.

"No wonder I saw you in Xiangyang." Xue Qianxun held that hand tightly, and did not continue to ask.

On the contrary, Dongfang Li was a little surprised, "You didn't even see my face, yet you recognized me?" I haven't seen me for a year, her figure and martial arts have changed a lot, and she was wearing women's clothes again. How did Xue Qianxun find out? of?

"It's the smell." Xue Qianxun came closer to her and buried her head in the hollow of her shoulder. The man froze for a moment, but didn't move away. "You have a reassuring smell." During that time, her nose was the most sensitive, and the faint scent of sandalwood was reassuring, and it was even more engraved in her mind.

A hand patted her shoulder, and a low voice rang in her ear, "Go to sleep."

Heimuya is not far from the capital, which may be the reason why Jin Yiwei attaches so much importance to the Sun Moon God Sect.It is always disturbing to have a group of blood-licking desperadoes outside the gates of the capital.

Three days later, Dongfang Li was already sitting in the restaurant, casually picked up his wine glass, and cast his eyes on the street outside the window.There are people coming and going on the street, facing a clay figurine stall, in front of the stall is a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth, about [-] or [-] years old, her beige healthy skin is shining in the sun, showing the beauty of a woman from the Central Plains. Rare energy.

However, it can be seen that she should be a Han Chinese, or half of her blood belongs to the Han Chinese. Her face and outline have a bit of softness unique to Jiangnan women, and she is somewhat similar to the temperamental middle-aged woman beside her.

There were five or six people standing around the mother and daughter, hidden in a protective posture, tall and straight, with a deep and stable foot, obviously they did not come from the Xiao family.The middle-aged woman seemed to sense her gaze and turned her head sharply to look at her. Dongfang Li did not hide, raised his glass and smiled.After all, she took advantage of her good looks, making it look harmless. The madam also smiled at her, took the girl's hand, stuffed a clay figurine, cursed a few words, and dragged her away.

"It's them?"

"Looking at the time, the number of people, and the characteristics, they all match up."

"Check the background, who is behind it."

"It has been entrusted to go."

The person who spoke was Dongfang Liang, and the person who entrusted him was naturally Dongfang Xi's Taixu Palace. Dongfang Li watched the pedestrian go away without turning his head. He suppressed his emotions and asked lightly, "Did you see her?"

Dongfang Liang nodded, "Life is safe." He saw the stiff body relax instantly, and the corner of his mouth could not help but smile, but it was a bit bitter.Dongfang Li didn't see this smile, she turned her head, although she was still calm, she was much more relaxed, "In this case, we will follow the agreement, but the people over there still have to guard against it."

"I know, actually, why didn't Xi'er come forward about this matter..." Dongfang Xi, whether it was Emperor Hongzhi or Jin Yiwei, was much easier to talk about, but Dongfang Li never wanted her to know about this matter, which was even more strange What's more, Dongfang Xi clearly controlled the Taixu Palace, but he still didn't know anything about it. It seemed that there was a more powerful person covering up this matter.

"Don't tell her, never. This is the grievance of the previous generation. You and I should bear it as senior brothers. You don't have to involve the little junior sister." Maybe this is also the tacit understanding between her and the person on the dragon chair.

"I'll listen to you." Dongfang Liang touched the wine glass in his hand and nodded.

What he said was firm trust, but in Dongfang Li’s own mind, it was actually false. It is said that the ancients kept their promises, and the stories of decades of loyalty in exchange for a single promise are common. Now, if the woman does not come, the water will not go, and she will die with the beams and pillars." There is also Jibu Xujian, Qianjinshigu, etc., but she still dare not believe it, especially after learning of Hongzhi's grievances with Dongfang, Therefore, there will be a trip to prison.It was really helpless to make an appointment with him, and now instead of saying that she believed in Hongzhi, it was better to say that she believed in Mu Bin, believed that he had regretted it, and believed that he would fight for it.

"Let's settle this matter first."
