Kendo Mei Yinxiang

The one-month period is fleeting, and they had promised them to rush to Baling as soon as possible, but now a whole month has passed, if they don't leave, I am afraid that they will not be able to pass this test.

Bai Jing looked at the two swords in a daze, her original saber was similar to the sword Ye Ze gave her.If he had two swords on his back, he might be regarded as a disciple of Xiufang.She shook her head mockingly, when did she become so nostalgic?This is really not like her at all, you should be more straightforward if you want to leave.

When she walked to the door of his study, she found that the door was wide open, but there was no one there.

Where have you been?

She turned and walked out, and saw him before she walked out of the courtyard door.

He frowned, holding a thin piece of letter paper in his hand, and the yellow leather envelope was held between his fingers. He was too far away to see his expression clearly, but he could sense his vague depression.

"Ye Ze." Bai Jing walked towards him.

"Ah Jing." Ye Ze was taken aback, "Why are you here?"

He folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope as if nothing had happened. He saw the two swords on her back and smiled a little forcedly, "Are you leaving?"

The letter paper flashed past her eyes, and she subconsciously glanced at it. She could only see that it was a long letter, and the handwriting was fairly neat. Naturally, she couldn't see clearly what was written on it.

"En." Bai Jingjing nodded, feeling inexplicably guilty, and couldn't help avoiding his gaze, "I went to Ji'an Hall earlier, and Dr. Chen said that I don't need to take medicine for recuperation."

"Outside to dry, come in and talk." He took her hand and walked towards the study.

Bai Jing pursed his lips and followed him into the room.

"Have you been counting the days, counting, when will you leave?" Ye Ze was playing with the pen on the table, not wanting to accidentally drop it under the table.

"Me, probably." Bai Jing sat opposite him, clasping his hands.

"Well, I know, I shouldn't say anything to keep you." He didn't intend to pick up the pen, and leaned back on the chair, half-closed his eyes.

"Ye Ze, I was originally..." She frowned slightly.

"You have your responsibilities and what you have to do, I know. I say so, so don't be angry with me." Ye Ze shook his head and smiled wryly, "Ah Jing, I'm not being hypocritical or anything, and I don't want to pretend A deep boudoir." He sighed, "No one understands better than me the helplessness that may be behind a person who has to bear his own responsibilities. I won't force you to stay. Don't worry about that."

"En." She nodded, only feeling that there were thousands of words to say.

"There are still five days left, which is Qixi Festival." He rubbed his forehead, said in a calm and serious voice, "I want to be with you."

Bai Jing was startled and looked up at him.He was also looking over, his eyes were calm and gentle, like a calm sea.

"Qixi." She laughed, her heart was soft and sore, she nodded slowly, "I promise you."

"it is good."

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

It was night, the night was as cool as water, the moon hung high, and the two of them strolled along the corridor.

"From here to Nanping Mountain, should we arrive in three days?" Ye Ze asked.

"If you want to hurry, a day and a half is enough. Why are you asking this?" Bai Jing turned to look at him, puzzled.

"You want to go back to Nanping Mountain, you should estimate the time and prepare water and dry food." Ye Ze said helplessly, "You don't even consider these things?"

"You can just buy dry food on the way." Bai Jing coughed awkwardly, "I won't go back to Nanping, I'll go directly to Baling."

"Baling? Didn't you say that Nanping Mountain is the territory of the Haoqi League?" He raised his eyebrows, "I've heard that the rapeseed fields in Baling are beautiful, so I want to see them."

"You are the most leisurely and infatuated with mountains and rivers." Bai Jing snorted softly, "Nanping Mountain is naturally dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the strongest barrier for Haoqi, and now Haoqi League and Evilren Valley are on one side, evenly matched, both sides They all want to further expand their bases, and disputes are inevitable." She frowned, "I went to Kunlun earlier to investigate the situation in the Valley of the Wicked, and there are fewer patrols in the Valley of the Wicked in Kunlun. I would think that they didn't have much defense because of this, I was careless."

"Fortunately, nothing happened in the end." He folded his arms and leaned against the porch pillar, looking relaxed.

"Indeed, someone from the Kunlun League has already taken over the follow-up. If I don't underestimate the enemy, I guess it won't be so troublesome." She was a little annoyed.

"You're going to Baling, are you alone?" He frowned slightly.

"How can I be alone, at least [-]% of the elites in the league are there, I am very safe." She couldn't help laughing.

"That's good." He coughed and changed the subject, "Nanping Mountain is naturally dangerous, and your leader is very good at choosing places."

"This time, there won't be too many people left in the alliance to guard Nanping Mountain. The Valley of the Wicked will play tricks, don't we?" Her eyes shone brightly. Is it so easy to break through the Nanping natural barrier?"

"Underestimate the enemy and be careless, but it's a big taboo for military strategists." He shook his head, his expression full of disapproval.

"This time, how can I underestimate the enemy again, one lesson is enough." She said, "Besides, I don't believe that someone in that group can break the Nanping natural barrier."

"Actually, it's not for nothing that you underestimated the enemy this time." He looked thoughtful.

"What good?" She didn't know why.

"You don't underestimate the enemy, how can I be a hero to save the beauty?" He laughed and teased.

"..." Bai Jing was choked, and coughed, "Well, it's been so long, and I haven't thanked Mr. Ye for saving my life. Please accept my gift." She bowed her hands as she spoke, and the gift was very special. correct.

"Ah Jing, stop making trouble." He immediately stretched out his hand to help her up, and said, "I think it's my luck that I picked up a treasure, so you don't need to thank me for this kindness."

"You'll be a joke, when did I become yours?" Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, she turned around and left.

"Hey, wait." He took a step forward and held her arm, hugged her tightly with one hand across his waist, and said with a low smile, "Why are you running in such a hurry?"

"I didn't!" She denied immediately, elbowing him backwards, "Let go."

"Don't let go." He tightened his arms and lowered his head close to her ear, "You haven't said why you ran in such a hurry."

"I didn't run." She forcefully argued.

"Then what did I just see?" He refused to let go of the question.

"It's your mistake." She replied without changing her expression.

The person behind laughed softly, her back was pressed against his chest, and at this moment she could feel the slight vibration from his chest, and his warm breath touched her cheek from time to time.She leaned in his arms, as obedient as a kitten.

Under the moonlight, only the outlines of the pavilions and pavilions are left, standing in the darkness, silently.

"Ye Ze," she said.

"Huh?" He responded, still maintaining the posture of embracing her, not moving for a while.

"Actually, I." She hesitated for a while and said, "I'm a bit reluctant."

"Reluctance for what?" He turned his head and gently rubbed her cheek.

"Don't pretend to be mean." She bit her lip, she couldn't believe that he didn't understand.

He laughed softly, "Ah Jing, it's really not easy to hear a word from you."

"Then you heard it now." She was a little annoyed, and moved her arms to break away from him.

"I'm also reluctant, not only you." He paused, seemed a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, and coughed, "I know you're leaving, and I won't stop you."

"Yeah." There was a slight smile on her lips, "Where are we going on Qixi Festival?"

"West Lake."

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

Tanabata night

"It's so lively tonight." Looking at the crowded West Lake, Bai Jing suddenly lost interest.

"After all, it's Qixi Festival, so it's normal for there to be more people." Ye Ze shrugged, took her hand and walked in the other direction, "Just find a place with fewer people when the lights are on."

"Where are there few people?" Bai Jing looked around and suddenly regretted going out tonight.

Ye Ze smiled without saying a word, just pulling her to continue walking.

There are hawkers selling all kinds of gadgets along the way. The road is not narrow, but it is occupied by such a place, but it has gone to nearly half of the place. There are many tourists. It is still a bit difficult to shuttle through it. Sometimes you can only stand On the side of the road, people of all colors come and go.

"If I knew I should have come yesterday, it would be boring if I had to squeeze in this day to join in the fun." The two walked through the crowd with difficulty, and Bai Jing sighed, lacking in interest.

"The reason why there are so many people tonight is naturally special. I didn't feel like this last night." Ye Ze smiled and squeezed her hand to express his comfort.

"No way, the moon is not particularly round tonight, and there is no special scenery today, it's obviously the same." Bai Jing snorted softly.

What matters is never the day, but who is standing next to you.

"Don't want to be crowded anymore? The West Lake is full of scenery, so let's not go to see the so-called most prosperous scenery, and find a place with few people to rest." Ye Ze led her to a tree, "Otherwise we will go eat something?"

"I just finished dinner, how can I be hungry." She thought it was funny, and when she looked up and saw his collar was wrinkled, she reached out to smooth it out.

"... Ah Jing." He grabbed her wrist with a deep voice.

Bai Jing was startled, and then realized what he was doing, and immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held it even tighter.

"..." She lowered her head, struggled but couldn't let go of her hand, so she didn't move anymore.

"Sometimes I really don't know, I—" His words rolled down his throat, and he remained silent for a long time but did not speak out.

There was wind on the surface of the lake, blowing the hem of their clothes, the leaves above their heads rustled, and the fallen flowers from nowhere were brought by the wind, dancing and spinning in the middle of the two of them, the petals were broken, and fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Didn't you say that you want to put a lamp?" She pursed her lips and said softly.

"Yeah." He nodded and took her hand, "Let's go."

The moonlight melted, and the two gradually moved away from the bustling West Lake.

"It's so quiet here." Bai Jing sighed looking at the wooden trestle covered with moss.

"Be careful slippery."

Ye Ze squatted down, took the torch and lit a prepared lantern, then handed it to Bai Jing who followed.

"After making a wish, put the lantern into the water."

"Do you believe it?"

"Believe what?"

"Believe in fate, believe in the wish of the lantern."

"Since you're here, you should give it a try."

"it is good."

Bai Jing clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and said a word silently between his lips.

The moon was bright, and she bathed in it with a serene and pious expression, suddenly like a fairy in the moon palace.

Ye Ze glanced at her, with a gentle smile on his lips, clasped his hands together like her, silently making a wish in his heart.

Neither of them asked the other about their wish, and slowly pushed the lantern into the water.

The lanterns swirled, and the candle flames in the heart of the flowers trembled and fluttered by the wind, but they never went out, and gradually gathered towards the flickering lanterns in the lake.

He reached out to help her up and said, "You don't need to tell me when you leave tomorrow."

"Why?" She was taken aback, not knowing why.

"You have already bid farewell to me, so there is no need for a second time." He supported her shoulder, "The things that should be prepared are all on your table, and the outermost horse in the stable is for you .I won't send you off, be careful yourself."

"Okay." She nodded, her heart like a mirror.

If you don't see me, just pretend you never left.

After a moment of silence, Ye Ze sighed, and embraced Bai Jing in his arms.

"Actually, I shouldn't have brought you here." He stroked her long hair and hugged her tighter, "You don't seem to be happy at all, but even more sad."

"No. I'm very happy. Ye Ze, I'm really happy." She leaned on his shoulder, "It's just that the Haoqi League treats me like a mountain, but if I have the drive, I will go there. It's like this now, and it will be the same in the future That's right. If in the future..." She paused and smiled wryly, "Let me first apologize to you."

"There's nothing to be sorry for. You have your responsibility, I know." He let out a long breath, his eyes darkened, and said solemnly, "Ah Jing, I'll wait for you."

"Okay." She bit her lip, her voice hoarse.

She let go of her hand and looked up at him, but he put one hand on the back of her head, stopping her movement.

Bai Jing was startled, and suddenly felt softness touching his forehead.

It wasn't cold tonight, but his lips were slightly cold, trembling slightly.

"Ye Ze?" She was in a state of confusion, and grabbed his clothes tightly with her fingers.

"At the beginning of spring in the next year, the red plums are in full bloom, and the red plums in the snow are a great sight in the villa. On that day, I will accompany you to enjoy the scenery." His voice was soft and gentle like water.

"Okay." She nodded, "When the affairs of the alliance are over, I will come back, enjoy the scenery with you, and then swim in the West Lake."

"Well." He turned to hold her hand, "Let's go, you can rest early when you go back."
