Chapter 155 The Luan Bird in His Heart

Xie Tingzhou's eyes fell on the door.

He couldn't see her, but he could hear her footsteps, heard her putting things down in front of the door, heard her sobbing.

He also heard that voice: I'm sorry, I can't make dodder.

Xie Tingzhou didn't know how long he sat there before he opened the door.

On the ground was a brocade box, and in the box was a purse, a purse with very poor stitches.

It can be seen that she has embroidered very carefully, but the stitches are still very poor. Some places have been disassembled and re-embroidered by her, and the needle holes have been stretched a little bigger.

Xie Tingzhou seemed to see the heroic girl, with her head down under the night light, silently doing needlework that she was not good at.

Her neck was very slender, and it curved into a beautiful arc under the light, like a moon in the sky.

…

Shen Yu left the capital with an imperial edict, and 5,000 soldiers and horses followed.

The common people didn't understand. When they saw the soldiers, they thought that there was going to be another war. Once there was a war, the people would suffer.

The horses' hooves rolled up dust, and Shen Yu rode in front.

This was the first time Shen Yu led troops alone. After all, she had to take the same path her father and brother had taken.

She looked towards the hill where the two were buried. The morning mist was lingering in the mountains. The blue sky was clear, and the white clouds were floating and sinking, which could not hide the desolation.

Suddenly, a clear cry of a gyrfalcon came from the sky.

Shen Yu looked back and saw a gyrfalcon spread its wings in the blue sky, whistling and hovering above his head, causing many soldiers to look up.

It was Bai Yu!

Shen Yu smiled, "Are you here to see me off?"

After she asked this question, she suddenly felt a trace of joy that she dared not touch.

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned her horse's head, left a sentence and continued to move forward, galloping in the opposite direction.

The strong wind blew in her face, and she rode very fast. After running three miles, her speed became slower and slower, and finally she stopped slowly.

The road she came from was empty and deserted.

She laughed at herself. After all, she thought too much. She thought he would at least come to see her off.

Shen Yu swallowed the disappointment in her throat, turned her horse's head, and returned along the road she had just walked.

She was full of joy when she came, and she was lonely and sad when she left.

Dada-da-da--

There seemed to be the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Shen Yu did not dare to look back, for fear that it was another false joy.

Bai Yu cried again, as if to remind her.

Shen Yu turned back slowly.

Xie Tingzhou rode his horse and whipped it, facing the rustling wind, and rode from the end of the ancient road. Behind him was the most beautiful sunrise she had ever seen in her life.

Shen Yu kept watching him getting closer and closer, and suddenly she felt heavy on her body, and she was covered by his cloak.

Xie Tingzhou followed her in, leaned over and clasped her waist, lowered his head and kissed her.

He chased her for fifty miles, knowing that he could catch up with her as long as he kept chasing her, but he was still flustered, as if she would feel more uncomfortable if he was a step slower.

It was not until he embraced her again that he felt at ease.

Shen Yu felt something was stuffed into her hand, which was a little heavy. She wanted to see it, but Xie Tingzhou held her wrist tightly and didn't let her see it.

The cloak seemed to isolate everything from the outside world, and she smelled his scent inside.

Xie Tingzhou moved his lips away, pressed against her forehead, and said softly: "The heart has a high platform, attracting phoenixes to roost, Ah Yu, you are not a dodder, you are the phoenix in my heart."

It turned out that he had been thinking wrong all along, always thinking that he would feel at ease only if he protected her under his wings.

He was angry that she always wanted to go out, and that she could never stop for him, until last night, when he suddenly found that he could not trap her.

That tenacious girl who was alone, confused about the way ahead, and groping all the way, could actually set up such a wonderful game on her own.

He suddenly found that she seemed to no longer need him, and he had never felt so out of control.

It was like she wanted to fly, but he couldn't catch her, couldn't protect her, and he felt so powerless for the first time.

He didn't know what he was angry about, why was he panicking, he obviously held her so tightly and treated her so well, why did she still want to fly?

Now he figured it out.

How could a phoenix hide in an eagle's feathers? He should let her fly high and fly high with her.

Xie Tingzhou tied Shen Yu's cloak, his eyes lingered on her face for a moment, and said softly: "I'll wait for you to go home in Shengjing, come back early."

He didn't say much, lightly pumped on the horse's buttocks, and watched the horse take a few steps forward.

Shen Yu wanted to look back at him again.

"Don't look back." Xie Tingzhou said, "I'll watch you go, and I'll pick you up when you come back."

Shen Yu smiled with tears in her eyes and nodded vigorously, "Yeah."

That solemn look was very cute, and Xie Tingzhou laughed.

The horse slowly walked, and Shen Yu looked down at the thing he had just stuffed into her.

It was a knife.

It was the knife she loved so much, but she gave it back to him to coax him.

He once said that this knife had no name because he hadn't thought of it yet, but now there are two words engraved on the knife.

--Yinfeng

Shen Yu burst into tears.

She was the phoenix in his heart, and this knife was called Yinfeng, which was to guide her home.

She had no home, but he built one for her, telling her that the phoenix also had to remember to return to its nest.

She rode slowly in the morning light, with a firm look in her tearful eyes.

Gradually, the sound of horse hooves became more and more frequent and faster.

Snap--

His beloved girl rode the horse and whipped it, and galloped away.

Xie Tingzhou stood on the hill on horseback.

The figure had long disappeared, but he still looked at it from afar.

Shengjing Changfeng was still there, but after all, that person was missing.

————End of Volume 1————

It took more than 20 days to go south.

It rains a lot in April in the south, and the official road is muddy. Especially after entering Qichang Prefecture, the road in the next few days is even more difficult.

Qichang Prefecture is very poor, and it should be said that this area is very poor, including the nearby Luzhou.

It was late, and the army camped 30 miles away from the Hezi Mountain.

"Sir, the governor of Qichang sent someone to deliver a letter."

"Present it."

Xiao Chuan handed the letter to her.

He was the deputy general sent by the Ministry of War. He was from the Xiao family, but he did not join the Xiao family army, but served in the capital.

Originally, he had a lot of opinions about Shi Yu's leading troops, and he did something stupid several times along the way.

Shen Yu didn't say much to him, and said directly that you look down on me, so let's have a competition. If I lose, you will take over the position of Zhonglang Jiang. If you lose, don't talk nonsense to me in the future.

After that fight, Xiao Chuan had been completely subdued by him.

After Shen Yu finished reading the letter, Xiao Chuan asked, "Do you want to reply?"

"No." Shen Yu threw the letter away, "Qichang prefect Liu Songlin invited me to the city for a banquet, don't pay attention."

Shen Yu had already spread out the map, folded her arms and said nothing.

Xiao Chuan said, "Are you going to rest for a day before attacking, or strike while the iron is hot?"

"Today is the eighth day of April, right?"

Xiao Chuan was stunned by the question, "Uh, yes."

"Wait a few more days." Shen Yu said, "We have to wait for another person."

"Who?"

Shen Yu kept it a secret: "The key person may save us a lot of trouble."
