In the next few days, Shen Liuzhen left early and returned late, traveling around in a carriage, visiting this mansion today, and going to another mansion for a banquet tomorrow.

Xie Yuan didn't get involved in the matter here, and his work and rest were as regular as before, so the chances for the two to meet each other became less and less.

At noon that day, Shen Liuzhen came back from outside in a hurry, had some snacks, and lay down in his room, resting with his eyes open, while thinking about things.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar tall figure passing by the window.

He was too lazy to move, stretched his neck, and shouted loudly:
"A Yuan!"

The shadow outside the window obviously froze for a moment, raised his head vigilantly, and then saw the shadow shrink back suddenly, the window broke, and Xie Yuan jumped in from the window.

She has a strong figure, as neat as a dragon going out to sea, with a mess of debris all over the place.

When he landed, he looked at the environment in the room, and saw that there was no one in doubt, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Liuzhen lying on the bed, propped up, looking at her in shock with those big eyes.

Only then did Xie Yuan realize that she was thinking too much. She pursed her resolute lips and raised her brows sharply. While sheathing her sword, she blamed:

"Why are you yelling?! I thought you were being attacked by gangsters, you yelled so urgently!"

Shen Liuzhen's eyes flickered, and he said aggrievedly:

"You're walking too fast. I'm afraid that if my voice becomes softer or my voice slows down, you will pass by?"

Xie Yuan stood in place, the cold air from outside the window rushed in, and the wind blew a few strands of hair from her temples and the hem of her clothes flying around.

Shen Liuzhen also shivered from the cold.

Xie Yuan turned around with a dark face, and closed the half of the window that was only half left, earnestly and stubbornly.

It's okay to disagree, and it becomes more and more embarrassing to cooperate.

Just at this time, Zhao Nianyou and the two guards from the mansion appeared outside the window, with swords in their hands, and stared at Xie Yuan in the window through the opening dumbfounded.

Xie Yuan was embarrassed for a moment, but she covered it up with her cold face, and said to Zhao Nianyou and the others without changing her expression:

"It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding, go tell the housekeeper and send someone to fix the windows."

Zhao Nianyou heard "Oh", turned around and left, thinking: This door repair thing is very familiar, it seems to have happened last time, what happened last time?

Xie Yuan stood in front of the broken window, feeling the cold wind blowing inside from "huhu", exhaled, turned around and said to Shen Liuzhen:

"What are you still doing lying there? It's not too cold. Come to my place and wait until the doors and windows are repaired."

Not only did Shen Liuzhen not move, but he lay down all of a sudden, and said:
"Oh, I have to go out in a while, I don't want to walk."

As soon as the words fell, he felt that something flew down from the sky and landed on him.

Shen Liuzhen looked down, it turned out that Xie Yuan threw his cloak over and covered him.

Xie Yuan sat down on the edge of the bed angrily, and said angrily:
"I've never seen someone who is more lazy than you. Come on, what do you want me to do?"

Shen Liuzhen huddled in the fur cloak and showed his face, as sweet as honey, and said with a smile:

"I'm going to see Siyu in a while, do you want to go with me?"

Si Yu's Xiaosuo face suddenly appeared in Xie Yuan's mind. In the thick fog that day, she passed by Lingxiu, and their fates changed paths.

Xie Yuan's face suddenly became much more melancholy, and asked softly:
"She is your spy, can I go?"

"Why not, her task has been completed, and there will be no more tasks for her to do in the future. A while ago, it was mainly to examine her loyalty to Wei Guo. Now the examination is almost done. I will check again, and she will free."

Xie Yuan frowned upon hearing this, and said:

"She has done so many things for the country of Wei. After being captured, she still has to suffer in prison when she arrives in the country of Wei? Isn't it too chilling?"

Shen Liuzhen corrected her: "It's not a prison, it's imprisonment."

"Is there a difference?" Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows and said.

"There's a big difference. Prison is in a cell, but imprisonment is in a courtyard that doesn't lack anything. They say it's censorship, and it's just a conversation. Life is good."

After Xie Yuan heard this, his brows and eyes softened again, and his mood was obviously much calmer.

Shen Liuzhen went on to explain, saying:
"This is something that can't be helped. Many people will be instigated after being captured, or they will be coerced and lured by the other party with their taint, and let them do things for themselves instead. I have to be careful."

Xie Yuan understood and had nothing to say. After a while, he said again:

"What will happen to Siyu in the future? Will Lingxiu come back one day? Will she be like Siyu?"

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, his eyes flickered, and he said seriously:
"A Yuan, it's very dangerous to do fine work, who can tell what's so far away?"

Xie Yuan lowered his red phoenix eyes and didn't say a word, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Liuzhen then asked cautiously:
"Would you like to come with me?"

"Go." Xie Yuan responded lightly.

……

Si Yu has a pair of amber eyes, and her facial features are soft and delicate, which is a good fusion of the bright beauty of the Hu people and the subtlety of the Han people. It is a different kind of beauty that can directly touch people's hearts.

If she doesn't speak, she looks like a fairy in the portraits of gods and Buddhas in the Western Regions, but when she speaks, she always reveals an obvious philistine and vulgarity.

She is different from Lingxiu, Lingxiu is a domestic dancer, compared with Siyu, she even seems a little naive.

As for Siyu, she had spent many years in the brothels of the Southern Dynasties, met all kinds of people, and had dealt with so many difficult things, so she became more mature and experienced.

Si Yu raised her eyes, looked timidly at Shen Liuzhen, then paused for a moment on Xie Yuan's face, then lowered her head silently.

Shen Liuzhen spoke softly, greeted with a smile and said:

"Siyu, it's been a long time, why did we meet again? We had a good relationship in the Southern Song Dynasty, didn't you forget?"

Si Yu remained silent.

Xie Yuan also asked with concern:
"Did you suffer too much at the hands of Zhang Qing and the others? I remember that you used to be very lively, but why have you changed so much now, and you are taciturn. Don't worry, you are fine now."

Hearing this, Siyu raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yuan again, as if wondering if she was sincere, then moved her lips and said sadly:

"How can I be okay now? Now... I am useless. I am a mixed race of Hu and Han, and I am not favored by either side, and I am a cheap person. When I am useful, I naturally want what I have, and when I am useless, I can do whatever. It's all gone."
