Shen Liuzhen looked at the gate of the city, sighed leisurely, the hot air in his mouth turned into a clump of white smoke when it met the cold, and said:

"What's so good about letting her come so early? Why don't you just stand at the gate of the city and wait for you to send off the prisoners like me, in the twelfth lunar month of winter."

Zhang Qing looked at Shen Liuzhen's side face, and saw that his face became jade-like because of his coldness, his brows were clear, and in such a foggy weather, there was an inexplicable sense of immortality.

He couldn't help scratching his nose regretfully, thinking, if he left, he would never see such beauty again, but he said:

"What's the matter, can we talk a little longer since we came earlier? Let's say goodbye at this moment, I really don't know when we will meet again."

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes fluttered, and then raised his eyes to look outside the city gate, without saying a word.

At this moment, Xie Yuan appeared. She was still in a neat uniform with tunic sleeves. She rode a horse to the front, got off the horse neatly, and handed the whip to Zhao Nianyou, a personal soldier who was waiting here.

Seeing her coming, Zhang Qing immediately laughed and asked:

"General Xie, you are here, where have you been?"

Xie Yuan didn't pick up his words. It seemed that because of the cold weather, the awe and aura on her face that strangers should not enter seemed to be stronger. Looking at the gate of the city, she asked:

"What's going on? Haven't your people come yet?"

Zhang Qing was a little resentful, and he turned to say: "This is definitely not our reason, it is the gate of your Wei State, and things have been delayed too much."

Xie Yuan stopped talking, just like Shen Liuzhen, he looked in the direction of the city gate without even looking at him.

Zhang Qing felt that Xie Yuan's behavior was a little strange, but because Xie Yuan was deliberately alienating before, and now it was saying goodbye, he didn't think deeply.

At this time, there was finally the shadow of a pedestrian in the distance, and the captives from the state of Wei who had been detained in the south finally arrived.

Before Zhang Qing and the others left, the exchange of prisoners between the two countries was the last thing.

The weather was cold, and the captives were all neatly dressed, wearing cloaks, and they did not look like they had been tortured. They wore shackles along the way, and they were escorted by the people of Chen Guo to come here on foot.

The same is true for the people on Wei's side, both sides retain the dignity of a big country, the difference is that Shen Liuzhen has brought the captives from the south and waited for a long time.

"Here we come, let's start counting people." Zhang Qing clapped his hands, very excited.As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Xie Yuan, his expression becoming reluctance again.

He walked a few steps forward to Xie Yuan, and asked in a low voice:
"General Xie, the Shiyu Wealth Village is not here today, just us. You...do you really not consider going back to the south?"

Xie Yuan's Danfeng rolled his eyes, and after glancing at him, he resolutely and resolutely said two words: "No."

When Zhang Qing heard this, her brows and eyes drooped while she held her sleeves, and her disappointed expression was beyond words.

Shen Liuzhen stood beside Xie Yuan, glanced behind him, but he didn't know where to look, and said:

"Stop chatting, I changed people earlier, and went back to each house earlier. My body is suffering from severe pain. If I delay for a while, I will suffocate to death here."

So both Zhang Qing and Shen Liuzhen stretched out their hands towards the attendants behind them, exchanged their rosters with each other, and began to roll their names.

Xie Yuan looked at Lingxiu, who was in the captive team, feeling a little uneasy.She was a little worried that Lingxiu would be noticed by the other party, and she was also worried that Zhang Qing would not be willing to save her after being discovered.

What to do then?
"Si Yu..."

Xie Yuan suddenly heard a familiar name appear in the camp called by the other party, so he looked up.

Sure enough, he saw the girl with amber eyes.

I saw her wearing a hood, lowering her head, looking listless, and softly answered "Yes."

Finally, the two parties finished counting the names, and for some reason, the other party did not notice that Lingxiu was someone who did not belong to them.

Xie Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then watched them switch sides.

Both Siyu and Lingxiu wore hoods and lowered their heads, they were in the crowd, one was going here, the other was going there.

They were all dancers, and at the moment they passed each other, Xie Yuan suddenly felt a sense of fate.

"Okay, the business here is over, Zhang Mou is leaving, I hope, there will be a chance to meet the two of you in the future." Zhang Qing bid farewell with his hands, and said with emotion.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen returned the salute together.

Just when Zhang Qing turned to leave, Xie Yuan suddenly grabbed Zhang Qing's wrist and wanted to say something excitedly.

Seeing that there seemed to be earnestness in her eyes, Zhang Qing rarely hesitated to speak, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Before she could speak, there was a commotion in the distance, and a team of yamen servants ran over from a distance, bowed to Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan and asked:
"My lords, a female prisoner ran away while Tingwei Mansion was on fire just now, have you ever seen a suspicious person before?"

Xie Yuan looked cold and solemn, and withdrew Zhang Qing's hand.

Zhang Qing's heart skipped a beat, feeling something was wrong, and he hadn't had time to think about it.

Shen Liuzhen was surprised, and asked, "Is there a fire in Tingwei's mansion? Is it serious?"

"A bedroom in the back hall was burned down. Fortunately, the fire has been extinguished now." The man replied.

"Oh... that's good." Shen Liuzhen made a look of relief, and suddenly said:

"I didn't see any suspicious person, maybe the prisoner is still in the city, you go find it quickly."

"Yes." Hearing that, the yamen servant glanced at the surrounding environment and crowd calmly with his eyes, and finally turned around and left.

Zhang Qing hugged his sleeves and looked at the servants who disappeared into the thick fog, showing a pensive look.

Shen Liuzhen unceremoniously interrupted his thinking, and said:
"What are you thinking? You still want to find out the secrets of my country Wei, so hurry up and take your people away, cough cough..."

Shen Liuzhen covered his mouth with the pat and coughed badly. Xie Yuan was at the side, seeing that his face was blushing, not pretending, so he raised his hand to stroke his back.

Zhang Qing looked at it, curled his lips helplessly, felt that his enthusiasm was still disgusted by others, it was really boring, so he bowed his hands politely, without saying a word, he got into the carriage, took the envoys, and the captives, in a mighty way Passed through the city gate and left Pingcheng...

Inside the carriage, Zhang Qing thought about Xie Yuan's hesitant appearance at that time, and kept guessing what she was going to say.

According to Xie Yuan's nature, she shouldn't be so embarrassed and hesitant.

Could it be that he was reluctant to leave? ... Unlike, he thinks that he is not so attractive in Xie Yuan's eyes.

Could it be that she changed her mind and wanted to go back to the south? ...not like that either.When she said she couldn't go, the decisive and firm appearance is still vivid in my memory.

So what's the reason?

Zhang Qing thought over and over again of Xie Yuan's expression at that time, her eyes, trying to understand Xie Yuan's heart...
