Xiao Ran
never again asked Jun Xu about Tong Li. The people in the dungeon were dragged away and buried in pieces, and Jun Xu casually ordered
‘Clean it up, I don’t like the smell of blood.’
Xiao Ran looked at the white clouds in the blue sky with a sigh. The story Jun Xu told her that night kept her up all night, and her dreams were full of chaos. Feng Qin still stayed by Jun Xu’s side at all times.
The day of departure was drawing near, and Jun Xu would take her and Feng Qin for a ride on horseback to the barracks to check on the situation. After the eighteen candidates for the position of Yun Xun had been replaced, Jun Xu’s mansion was thoroughly cleaned. Jun Xu did not suggest using punishment
“Apart from the confessions, keep it simple. The day of departure is not far off, and there is no time to play with them.’
As a result, most of the people in the Pingyangfu dungeon were more easily and directly silenced. Perhaps this was a kind of mercy, an alternative kind of mercy in this era.
Junxu finished the last stroke of the lotus, looked up at the distant sky and water meeting, and took the brocade handkerchief passed to him by Feng Qin to wipe his hands.
‘It’s going to be cloudy again.’
Xiao Ran hugged her cup next to her.
‘When do you leave?’
“Tomorrow at noon… I’m sorry.’
Xiao Ran put down her cup and exclaimed
‘What are you talking about? ! I’m a woman, okay? !’
Jun Xu laughed, ‘She’s right, you forgot. Xiao Ran has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and she often makes her naturally return to the original world standards. This world… Jun Xu took the brush and looked at Feng Qin, sighing, ’Men are the ones who need pity…’
Feng Qin’s long eyes flashed, and he gently avoided Jun Xu’s gaze
‘Hou’s daughter, it may be going to rain, do you need to pack up and go back?’
Jun Xu threw down the brush
‘Never mind, I’m not in the mood to paint, let’s go’
In the distance, the wind and thunder were faint, and the cool wind swept across the water, blowing the lotus leaves like a tide. Jun Xu didn’t linger and walked towards the courtyard on his own. Xiao Ran jumped up and shouted
‘You don’t want to paint it?!‘
Junxu laughed in front of him
’What a treasure, there was never any need to keep it.‘
Xuoran looked at the charming and atmospheric lotus pond on the paper, shook his head, and said to Feng Qin
’It’s a pity, let’s go too, it’s going to rain soon, the one in front of us is almost out of sight.’
The day of the expedition finally arrived. Shen Yao held onto Junxu’s hand, her eyes brimming with tears. Junxu’s hair stood on end, and he had no heart to sing a song of filial piety in front of everyone. He just looked slightly preoccupied, as if he was full of worries. He then leapt onto his black horse, waved his hand, and the army set off. Xiao Ran followed behind her in plain clothes on a white horse
‘Something’s wrong, isn’t it?”
Junxu smiled and didn’t say anything. What’s wrong? If she really gets too close to Shen Yao, then something will be wrong. Xiao Ran didn’t know if she knew that among these people, there might be the ears and eyes of the crown princess. Shen Da will always be a half-emotioned man who expresses his emotions in anger and joy in front of the crown princess, so that he can gain more of her support.
Under the scorching sun, the armour of the million-strong army glistened. Feng Qin followed Jun Xu every step of the way. A faint scent of water drifted by. Jun Xu lowered his eyes, and the long eyelashes cast shadows. Who likes having Cao Cao as a subordinate? However, Feng Qin was really, really close to her, and she subconsciously believed that he would not actually report everything to the crown princess.
The crown princess saw her as a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water, and she played Tai Chi with the crown princess through a veil.
Like and unlike, believe and disbelieve, truth and falsehood are ever-changing.
So the world and she were separated by 80,000 li, the distance between one who obtains the true scriptures and one who reaches heaven. She became lonely.
