Chapter 211 Not Seen
Chapter 211 Not Seen
Three days passed quietly without me noticing.
Soon the day arrived when Shen Peiqing led his troops to the border town to fight.
In late summer and early autumn, the early morning began to feel cooler, and the dew slowly condensed into a thin layer of frost on various leaves.
Rong Su got up early in the morning, washed up quickly, went to the cabinet, found a light blue sachet, and held it tightly in her hand.
He took a deep breath, then turned and left the room.
As soon as she went out, she saw Xiao Hei walking across the corridor, and she quickly called out to him.
"Xiao Hei! Is Aqing at the gate?"
Seeing that it was Rong Su, Xiao Hei immediately replied: "The master is already dressed and ready to go, and is at the gate. If you want to see him off, you can go now. But girl, aren't you wearing too little? At least put on a cloak..."
Before Xiao Hei could finish his words, Rong Su had already lifted her skirt, with a nervous expression on her face, and rushed towards the corridor, all the way to the door.
The cool breeze blew across her face, bringing a lot of chill, but it couldn't stop her from running towards someone.
Maybe after this meeting, she didn't know how long it would take before she could see him again.
She was worried and helpless about this, but she was more concerned and missed him uncontrollably.
After running past several pavilions, towers and corridors, I finally arrived at the gate.
Outside the vermilion gate, there was already a large crowd of warriors in black-scale armor standing ready for battle.
They are majestic and full of vigor.
However, none of them were as majestic and powerful as the man standing in front of them. He had a straight and upright posture, standing like a green pine, with cold eyebrows and eyes, like a banished immortal, but his temperament was shrouded in an aura that made it impossible to look directly at him. Perhaps this was what it meant to overwhelm the crowd.
The moment she saw him, the tension and worry in Rong Su's chest seemed to become more and more intense.
Unable to bear it any longer, she yelled at Shen Peiqing: "A Qing!"
This sound attracted a lot of people's attention, but she didn't seem to care this time.
Because in her eyes, she could only see him.
When Shen Peiqing heard the call of the person he was thinking of, his eyes, which were as dark as the night, were instantly lit up. He turned around with sudden joy and looked at Rong Su, who was standing at the door with a blush on her pretty face.
He took a long step and strode in front of Rong Su. Without saying a word, he immediately took off his cloak, threw it on her, and lowered his eyes to carefully tie the belt for her.
"Summer is over, and it's cold in the mornings. Don't forget to wear more clothes."
There was no blame in his voice, but it was full of care and tenderness.
When Rong Su heard his words, her nose felt a little sore. She was so used to parting, so why was she so fragile this time? She was actually reluctant to leave.
She raised her hand, gently pinched a corner of his armor, and looked up at him.
When Shen Peiqing saw her action and her beautiful eyes revealing a reluctance that was rarely seen before, his heart moved slightly, and he had an urge to stay.
He rubbed his fingertips, still unable to bear to give up that tender and pitiful hand. He raised his hand and held it carefully. He felt her fingers were a little cold, frowned slightly, and immediately looked at Mu Tou.
"Bring me the hand warmer."
Mu Tou immediately understood and turned around to get it.
Rong Su was stunned for a moment. She was happy in her heart because he cared about her. However, she said helplessly, "I'm not a delicate woman."
Shen Peiqing said solemnly, "You are not delicate. But I can't bear to see you cold."
Rong Su was simply amused by his strange idea and didn't want to argue with him. It was not the right time to do so.
After thinking for a moment, she took out the sachet she had prepared for three days, which was also what he requested.
After hesitating for a long time before handing the sachet over, Rong Su didn't dare look him in the eye. Feeling a little embarrassed and ashamed, she looked down at the ground and said, "My craftsmanship is really bad. I've tried very hard to learn, but it's still ugly. If you don't like it, I'll buy you another one when you return victorious."
Shen Peiqing looked down at the light blue sachet in his hand. There was a green leaf embroidered on it. The embroidery was indeed a bit crude, but the advantage was that it was made by his beloved, which was more precious than anything else.
He raised his lips and smiled, then carefully put the sachet into his arms.
"No. What you did is not ugly at all. Of course, if I return victorious, you must make another one for me." He raised his hand, touched her head, and smiled.
Rong Su didn't expect that he wanted another one, and subconsciously said in surprise: "You want another one?"
Shen Peiqing raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "When I return triumphantly, you must congratulate me and give me a gift. I only want a sachet."
Rong Su twitched the corners of her mouth, her fingers under her sleeves felt a dull pain, her lips seemed to be raised, but in fact she couldn't smile at all.
Making a sachet, her ten fingers were so bad that it was unbearable, and making another one...
Seeing that she seemed very reluctant, Shen Peiqing immediately revealed a sad and aggrieved expression: "You don't even want to make a sachet for me. Well, you don't really want to see me, right? Sigh. Did I give it to the wrong person?"
When Rong Su heard these words coming out of Shen Peiqing's mouth, the expression on her face was as surprised and ugly as if she had eaten shit.
Is there something wrong with his brain? Is he capable of saying these words?
Seeing Rong Su reveal this indescribable expression, Shen Peiqing realized that he was a little embarrassed. He quickly restrained his expression, coughed lightly, and then said helplessly: "If you don't want to see me off, then don't. Take care of yourself."
Then he reached out and touched her hair again, turned around and mounted the horse. After looking at her deeply from the side, he raised his hand and spoke in a serious and inspiring voice.
"set off!"
Then there was a cry that resounded through the sky.
"Yes!"
Rong Su came back to her senses from the situation that felt like she was struck by lightning. Looking at the army that was gradually moving away, her mood began to become serious again.
After this departure, I don’t know when we will meet again.
In fact, she should have gone with him, but she still had some things to deal with. After she finished, she would definitely go find Shen Peiqing.
Rong Su made up her mind.
After leaving Dongdu, Shen Peiqing rode on his horse and thought for a long time. He couldn't help but asked Mu Tou who was standing beside him.
"Why is the book I found for you that day so strange? Why did Xiao Su have such a strange expression when I treated her the way it was written in the book?"
Shen Peiqing really didn't know how to say the following words, and his expression was a little awkward and weird.
Mu Tou was a little confused, but after listening, he remembered something and suddenly understood.
"Master, are you talking about the book 'How to be a Perfect Housewife'?"
Shen Peiqing nodded with a serious expression. He had stayed up all night to finish reading the 500-page book. The content in it was so enlightening that he could not express it in words.
Mu Tou pondered for a moment before saying, "Is it possible that Miss Rong's personality isn't like the heroine in the book? I remember that book has a lot of cases. Perhaps Master could study it further?"
Shen Peiqing frowned, lowered his eyes, and thought, it seemed that the method he was using was indeed based on the first example. The heroine in the first example had a gentle personality.
But his Xiao Su has a cold and self-willed personality, and is a bit paranoid and strong-willed.
It seems that this example does not work.
At this time, Shitou came over and heard their conversation. He frowned and looked at Mu Tou: "Mu Tou, are the books you gave the master some unreliable books?"
Upon hearing what Shitou said, Mu Tou became a little unhappy and quickly retorted, "How could that be! That's my most classic collection, out of print across three continents and one city. It's a famous book written by the most outstanding writer in the once most glorious country of women! You don't know how many gentlemen have found peace and harmony with their wives only after reading this book."
Mu Tou was trying to argue for his book. Shi Tou sighed and said to Shen Peiqing, "Master, I just received intelligence that the enemy is lingering 500 miles away from Fengzhou."
Upon hearing this, Shen Peiqing's expression immediately grew solemn. He looked off into the distance and said calmly, "Keep sending people to watch. Also, we'll split into two groups. Mu Tou, you disguise yourself as me and lead one group along the normal route. I'll disguise myself as an ordinary soldier and go with Shi Tou from the other side."
After hearing this, Stone and Wood immediately understood and nodded.
-
When Shen Peiqing had already left for the border town for several days, Rong Su was not idle either.
Occasionally, he would go to the Prince of Jin'an's Mansion to visit Lianxin. Without Jiang Shi's harassment, she seemed to smile more than before.
But Lianxin still cares a lot about what happened that day, and always worries secretly when she can't see.
All of this was also known through Asha.
In order to enlighten Lianxin, Rongsu asked Xiaohei to borrow the trial record of the beast from the Dali Temple.
She handed the case record to Lianxin: "Lianxin, no one will know about this. I will definitely help you protect your reputation. Don't worry."
Lian Xin read the case record, her eyes red, raised her eyes to look at her, and gestured to her: "Thank you." Actually, it was my fault. I actually made you worry about me.
Rong Su frowned and shook her head, saying, "Since we've already said that you and I are friends, then if a friend has troubles, I will naturally help him. Don't be polite to me, and it's not a matter of whether I will bother you or not."
Lianxin smiled with emotion, and even her tears showed a hint of emotion in her smile. She nodded.
The two looked at each other, and it seemed that many words were said in this brief look. They drank tea and ate snacks together. Even though they didn't talk much, it was very peaceful.
After spending a peaceful afternoon at the Prince of Jin'an's Mansion, Rong Su said goodbye to Lianxin.
When she just returned to the Regent's Palace, she learned that a guest who had not been seen for a long time had come to the house.
Rong Su rushed to the side hall, went in and looked up, and saw Yulan sitting on a chair. When she saw Rong Su coming, she quickly stood up and saluted her.
"girl."
Rong Su was a little surprised that Yulan would come to her. She had already given full authority to Aku to connect with Yulan and the others regarding finding the old doctor.
She had heard Aku say before that the old doctor seemed to have been found and he had also made the handover with Gu Yuer. Why did Yulan come to see her? Suddenly she thought of something bad and looked at the other party solemnly.
"Miss Yulan asked you to come to me, so I think there must be something very important. Just tell me directly."
Yulan lowered her eyes slightly, and when she raised them again, there was a layer of sadness in her eyes.
"The old doctor was found, but not him."
Rong Su was stunned: "What do you mean?" Didn't Aku tell her the whole story?
Seeing that Rong Su seemed to be unaware of the situation, Yulan was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke, "The old doctor passed away peacefully a long time ago. When Master Aku found him, only Master Ale, the old doctor's apprentice, was left to sweep his grave."
The old doctor died a long time ago, and only his apprentice is left?
Rong Su pondered for a moment. It seemed that she had changed a lot of things invisibly.
"Is the old doctor's apprentice unable to treat Gu Yun's leg?" She couldn't help but ask about this. She thought that Yulan came to her for this matter.
Yulan's eyes were filled with sadness. "Miss, please come with me to save Yun. Master Ale said he learned some skills from his master, but he alone is not enough to heal Yue's leg. At least he needs a doctor who knows acupuncture points to help him, so that the chances of saving her will be greater."
As she spoke, Yulan knelt down in front of Rongsu with a pleading look on her face.
"I beg you, girl!"
Rong Su was stunned for a moment, then immediately bent down and reached out to help Yulan up: "What are you talking about? Why are you begging me? Gu Yun's leg injury was originally caused by me. If you need anything, just tell me, I will help you."
"Where are you now? I'll go with you." She thought about it and decided that there was no rush to return to Bai Tiaomen. It was urgent to save people.
When Yulan heard this, she immediately looked at her with tears of gratitude, crying and laughing: "Thank you, thank you, girl!"
Rong Suqian sighed and shook her head.
Soon, she asked Xiao Hei to prepare their things and set off with Yulan to Tianjing Town, a small town adjacent to Zhongzhou and Ancheng.
There is no doubt that Xiao Hei will follow Rong Su. Rong Su understands that Shen Peiqing stayed with her to protect her. She cannot argue with Shen Peiqing about this matter, otherwise it will only make him worry for no reason. After all, the previous incident has left him with a lot of shadows and anxieties.
It takes at least half a month to get to Tianjing Town from Dongdu.
When Rong Su learned that Yulan had broken five horses to reach Dongdu within ten days, he couldn't help but look at Yulan a few more times.
Yulan's feelings for Gu Yun were so deep that she was surprised. Sometimes she thought that if Gu Yun could also fall in love with the girl next to him, perhaps that would be the best ending.
"Miss Yulan." Rong Su was still a little curious, so he called out.
Yulan turned her head and looked at her, with some doubt in her eyes, and said softly: "Miss, you can just call me Yulan."
"Okay, then you don't have to call me girl, just call me Asu." Rong Su also agreed with this kind of closeness. Since they had known each other for so long and Rong Ying's heart was dead, there was no need for her to be hostile to Yulan.
Yulan smiled and said, "Okay. Ah Su, do you have any questions?"
Rong Su considered her words carefully before asking, "Gu Yun, do you really like Gu Yun? Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little curious. From what I remember, you and Gu Yun didn't seem to communicate much."
Seeing some subtle changes in Yulan's expression, she quickly added something to avoid Yulan from misunderstanding her.
Yulan lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment. Then she smiled gently, as if she remembered something, probably Gu Yun.
"Well, I'm happy."
