MTL - Kunning-Chapter 213 The princess is still facing

Jiang Xuening didn't expect Xie Wei to be waiting for him.

When she walked out of the mansion with the box in her arms, and saw the car waiting for her outside and the sword book standing beside it, she almost had the illusion that her memory flowed back to two years ago.

After waiting, he lifted the curtain of the car and went in, and when he saw Xie Wei, he became more and more dazed.

He was lowering his head and slowly arranging the pleats on his sleeves. When he saw her coming in, he just looked up and said, "Let's go."

His expression was dull, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

There is a little tiredness on the edge of the eyebrows, but it is not obvious. It's not because he's not very tired, it's just because he's used to it. Even he doesn't care about it, and others don't think it matters.

Except for the night when he sat beside her bed, whether it was real or a dream, during the period since the war started, Jiang Xuening had hardly seen him again.

The front line is advancing rapidly, and if the rear cannot keep up, it will be out of touch.

Lu Xian is great, he only manages the word "money and food", and he has no official position, and he dare not say that he has complete vision and authority to take care of the affairs in the rear. Naturally, Xie Wei has to take care of him everywhere. It can even be said that the rear of the battle line is far busier than the front.

Jiang Xuening softly said "Hello, sir", and sat quietly opposite Xie Wei.

She still held the box in her hand and did not let go.

Xie Wei looked up and said, "After welcoming the princess back this time, your wish should be fulfilled. Then leave the border, where are you going?"

Jiang Xuening didn't expect him to be so straightforward, but after thinking about it, she realized that it was normal: Lu Xian heard it that night, and it's not surprising that Xie Wei knew her plan. What's more, he has an insight into people's hearts. If he can't see through even her little thoughts, how can he be a teacher of the emperor?

only…

She rested her fingers on the edge of the wooden box, lowered her eyes and said, "Don't dare to tell sir."

Xie Wei said: "Now you are willing to tell the truth again. But if I don't let you go, where can you escape to?"

Jiang Xuening fell silent and did not speak.

Seeing her like this, Xie Wei also felt very disturbed, for a moment he wanted to scold her no matter what, so as to wake her up. But she was so scared that when she woke up from scolding, she ran to Zhang Zhe without hesitation.

The carriage left the city and headed towards Yanmen Pass.

Back then when Shen Zhiyi went to get married, it was twilight;

Now that they are going to meet her and return to court, the morning light is faint.

There was a long silence in the car.

After Xie Wei for a long time, he took another look at the box she was holding, and remembered that girl crying with her knees in her arms, so she asked: "Shen Zhiyi, what virtue and ability is it, it's worth your all for her?" All, go through fire and water?"

There is some irony in these words.

Jiang Xuening felt stung by these words, raised her eyes to look at him, with a little coldness in her pupils, and said: "Your Highness is very kind to me."

In her previous life, her impression of Shen Zhiyi was really not good.

But in this life, she just painted a petal of cherry powder for her at the Double Ninth Banquet in the Qingyuan uncle's mansion, and said such an obvious flattery, but she was really treated with sincerity.

She is her backer when studying in Fengchen Palace.

Knowing that she has a bad temperament, but after believing that she likes it, she pampers her and protects her. No matter how others slandered her, Shen Zhiyi never doubted from the beginning to the end, how he treated her in the first place, and how he treated her later.

But such a good person, because of her status as a princess, was ups and downs in Bo Yun's treacherous court, and she had to leave her hometown and go to Tartar to marry her, accepting her unpredictable fate...

Jiang Xuening could not forget that two years ago, Shen Zhiyi, who was almost under house arrest, celebrated her birthday in Mingfeng Palace. And in the middle of the night, that bowl of longevity noodles brought quietly by the palace servants...

I just remember crying a lot.

The noodle soup is full of salty and astringent flavors from tears falling down, whether it is delicious or not, I don’t have much deep impression on it.

Jiang Xuening blinked, and slowly said: "Mister can't do someone like His Highness, and I can't do it either."

She said this very seriously.

However, Xie Wei only parted the corners of his lips coldly: "A person who is imprisoned, restrained by others, and a fish under the knife, Xie really can't do it."

Jiang Xuening was choked and speechless.

Simply do not say.

As the sky gradually brightened outside, the Yanmen Pass, which was built at the junction of the two mountains, finally approached gradually.

The wind and sand outside the pass blew away countless traces of vicissitudes on the nearby city walls of rammed earth.

Flags flying high above the city gate.

There is also a siege city winding along with the mountain. Three large stone walls and more than 20 small stone walls were built outside it, almost enclosing the entire Guancheng into a solid fortress.

Inside the pass is the fertile soil of the Central Plains, and outside the pass is the wilderness and sandstorm.

Shen Zhiyi still remembered all the scenes he saw when he left the customs all the way from the capital.

Phenological changes, from prosperous to desolate.

At that time, the car passed Yanmen, and she looked back, the gray-white and yellow city walls seemed to be stained with blood in the dusk, and there was a kind of majestic beauty; On the vast wilderness, the wind whimpered, and a winding and blurry road stretched forward, but it seemed to be connected to the sky without end.

After two years of hardships, she never imagined that she would come back alive one day.

His childhood playmate, who has become a general in command of the three armies, is now in front of the car, riding on the back of a black-hoofed horse, and the gradually brightening sky falls on his shoulders.

Shen Zhiyi only felt that things were right and people were wrong.

Even full of desolation, not much joy.

Her protruding belly indicated the fact that she was about to become a mother, and it also made her worry about the predicament she would soon face.

All this gradually became clear as the carriage approached Yanmen.

At this moment, inside and outside the Guancheng, all the soldiers had already lined up. The armor was in order on the city wall, and there might be **** scars on each face. But no matter they are young or young, they all stand in the direction of the northwest wilderness!

I don't know who first saw this winding team from a distance, and the commander-in-chief flag that the team was heading for, and immediately shouted loudly: "General Yan's commander-in-chief flag, is General Yan's commander-in-chief flag! The princess is back! , Her Royal Highness is back—”

At that moment, Jiang Xuening was shocked.

After she arrived at Yanmen Pass, she followed Xie Wei up to the high city wall to look into the distance, but the rising sun in the east was so blazing, it inevitably made it difficult for her to open her eyes, and she couldn't see very clearly.

It wasn't until the long convoy finally passed the shining spots in Jiang Xuening's sight that she finally saw clearly that it was the dangling curtained vehicle in the convoy...

"Your Highness!"

Her heart beat suddenly and violently, without even thinking about it, she picked up the corner of her skirt, turned around like a bird fluttering its wings, ran away from Xie Wei, and walked towards Xie Wei along the steep steps on the tower. Run down.

Xie Wei stretched out his hand subconsciously, but only touched the corner of her clothes.

The brocade sleeve gown was as smooth as the wind, leaving a little coolness on his fingertips.

When he looked up again, he was already under the tower.

With the wind and cold on his face, Jiang Xuening ran straight past the countless soldiers standing under the tower, as if he couldn't sense it.

People around could not help looking at her with surprised eyes.

But she still walked through the wide open city gate, towards the team that was gradually approaching Yanmen Pass, towards the most special frame in the team, still shouting loudly: "Your Highness—"

Shen Zhiyi's cold heart suddenly trembled.

That vaguely familiar voice came against the wind.

She got up all at once, and suddenly opened the car curtain that was hanging in front of her!

The girl who drew a stroke on her cheek when she raised her hand at the beginning, the girl who relied on her back to do whatever she wanted in Yangzhizhai, the girl who grabbed her sleeve in the imperial garden and said that she would take her away, just like that from that building. Running out of the city gate tower that had been eroded by wind and sand for a long time, with a long-lost, blazing freshness, broke into her sight...

She suspected that she was in a dream.

The hot flashes gushing out from the bottom of her eyes in an instant almost filled her cold heart completely.

Everything has changed.

That Jiang Xuening has not changed.

The line stopped.

Yan Lin reined in silently.

Jiang Xuening finally came to the front of the car, her steps were hurried, but when she was really close, she raised her eyes and saw Shen Zhiyi standing on the shaft of the car. The gorgeous palace dress of the old years looked a little too big for her, fluttering in the wind like a page.

Then a kind of sudden sadness hit her suddenly.

She stopped in her footsteps, tears welled up in her bright eyes.

However, at the next moment, he bent his lips stubbornly again.

The wooden box was held tightly against his heart.

In the radiance of the morning sun and the strong wind blowing at the frontier, Jiang Xuening knelt and half knelt under the shaft of the car, but held the wooden box high, stared at the standing princess, and smiled brightly: "Your Highness, your Homeland, homeland, and old capital.”

Waiting for another day, Yan Lin led his troops to step through Yanmen with iron hooves.

Bring this old land to welcome me—

Return to the old country, return to the old capital!

Shen Zhiyi almost forgot that in order to lie to her peace of mind, he had made such bold words and made such a promise with her...

But she didn't take it as a joke.

The tears that had been in her eyes for a long time finally rolled down when she took the wooden box from her hand and opened it. She bent over and hugged her childhood companion tightly, but the blocked throat became extremely difficult, and she couldn't make a sound.

The wilderness outside the pass is boundless.

The army inside and outside Yanmen Pass was like a tide, but at this moment, they all bowed down to the beautiful princess who they could not see clearly in the car, and shouted in unison: "Your Highness is welcome to return!"

The sound merged into a wave and swept into the sky.

It turned into a torrent again, resounding in people's ears.

With the sound of the wind, the banners are in full bloom, clearly visible in the boundless frontier.

Xie Ju'an stood tall on the city wall and did not move a step.

He is like a towering mountain cliff, not changed by the joys and sorrows of the world, but coldly looking down at the world of separation and reunion, and then draws a smile with a touch of hostility.

Shen Zhiyi's gaze crossed the void, and unexpectedly landed on the tower, unexpectedly colliding with his gaze from afar.

It was the gentleman who gave lectures at Fengchen Palace in the old days.

However, at this moment, there was not much intimacy and familiarity in her heart that she hadn't seen for a long time. There was only an icy chill soaking into the marrow of her bones, and at the same time, there was also an unspeakable irony and sadness.

After all, she grew up in the palace, and it's not like she didn't grow up in Tatar these years. As early as when Yan Lin led the army to break through the royal court of Tatar, she had already noticed one or two abnormalities.

Ask Yan Lin, but Yan Lin doesn't say anything.

Until now, she saw Jiang Xuening who should not have appeared at the border, and Xie Juan who should not have appeared...

Shen Zhiyi hugged Jiang Xuening even tighter, with red eyes and a choked smile: "Silly Ningning."
