The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 185 The Autumn of Separation
Autumn in the second year of Yongjia came earlier than in previous years. It was only the end of August, but the rabbits had already turned yellow and the grass had already received frost.

The day Gu Che left the capital with the team was a beautiful autumn day.

The military appearance of the newly formed Northern Xinjiang Army can't be called neat. The soldiers are all young, so Gu Che, who is also young, is not conspicuous as an officer, at least not as conspicuous as his beloved horse Xiaomao.

In order to show his importance to the army, the emperor personally sent the team thirty miles outside the city, and all the civil and military officials naturally accompanied him all the way.

As a princess, Yun Ruochen didn't need to see off the soldiers, there was no such ancestral system.

Yet she went anyway.

No matter what they say, anyway, if the officials don't attack her and feel uncomfortable, she has long been used to it.

Cars rattled, horses rustled, dust did not see Xianyang Bridge.After the scene of parents and relatives crying and seeing each other off outside the city, the army became strangely silent, just advancing, advancing, advancing.

The thirty-mile long pavilion finally arrived, the emperor's car stopped here, and the army finally stopped a little.

The musicians and singing girls of the Jiaofang Division sang a sad farewell song, and the monarchs and ministers headed by Emperor Yongjia brought fine wine to the soldiers who went to the frontier.

Fine wine is not served in cups or bowls, but is sent to the soldiers in jars, one person takes a sip, and then passes it to the next person.

If a jar of good wine is drunk, the last soldier who raises the altar will smash the jar to pieces.

The clanging of ping-pong echoes with the songs of the courtesans, resounding under the sky in the distant countryside.

Gu Che had just smashed an empty jar, before he had time to wipe off the wine stains on his lips, he took another jar of residual wine from his subordinates.

"Ache."

He didn't need to raise his head to know who was coming.

She came to see him off.

He knew that she was only here to see him off.

When a pot of clear and fragrant wine was passed from Yun Ruochen's palm to his, there was still a slight residual warmth.

This warmth poured into his throat along with the spirits, and Gu Che felt as if he was drunk.

"Ah Che, a good man has ambitions everywhere."

Yun Ruochen offered another pot of wine, and said with a light smile, "We're going to Northern Xinjiang, and we won't see each other for several years. I'll visit you if I have the chance."

"Ache, you have to take care."

Gu Che laughed loudly and shook his head, how could she move around freely now?But he understands her intentions.

"Don't worry, Ruochen. I will definitely come back to marry you on the day of your wedding..."

He drank the second jug of wine in one gulp, without saying anything, and flew back to the team, the claret cloak kicked up a little dust, and there was a bit of bleakness under the autumn sun in the afternoon.

Advise Jun to make a glass of wine even more, and there is no reason for him to go out of Yangguan.

The sound of drum music resumed, rumbling, but was quickly covered by the sound of horseshoes of the army.

Gu Che's figure was submerged among countless knights, and gradually moved away from Yun Ruochen's sight.

He held the rein in one hand, and held something warm in the other.After a long time, he slowly opened his palm.

A peace knot woven with red string lay on his calloused palm.The end of the long tassels is tied into a beautiful rope buckle, tightly fastening a bright green and round jade.

Gu Che only glanced at it, then held the jade bi tightly again.After a while, he carefully put it into his arms.

Pressing the hard spot on his chest, Gu Che felt warm in his heart.

It was Yun Ruochen who put it into his palm when he was persuading him to drink, and then said, take care.

He knew Ruochen's ability, this Fang Yubi should be a very powerful magic weapon, it can keep people safe.

Maybe an illusion?The team was already far away from the Changting Pavilion, and he always seemed to be able to hear Ruochen's faint singing in his ears.

"Outside the long pavilion, by the side of the ancient road, the green grass stretches to the sky. The sound of the willows and flute is still in the evening wind, and the mountains outside the sunset mountain. At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, half of friends are scattered. A pot of dirty wine is full of joy, don't dream of coldness tonight... "

When she was on the island, she used to sing to them this strange but beautiful tune.She said, this song is called "Farewell".

Changting ancient road, ruthless fragrant grass, old friends who have gone far away, and confidantes who have been left behind.

Even though it was more than ten miles away from the Changting Pavilion, Gu Che was still sure that it was Yun Ruochen who was singing to see him off.

This is the last farewell ceremony between him and her. She will sing and he will listen.

Ruochen...

I will definitely make contributions in Northern Xinjiang, and more importantly, I will come back to see you safely!

Sitting in the bumpy carriage, Ji Jianing saw Yun Ruochen leaning against the window, singing silently in the direction the army was leaving.

Her lips moved up and down gently, but no sound came out.But Ji Jianing knew that the princess master was using his vitality to spread the singing to Gu Che who was far away.

This is a profound kung fu. Master Princess used to joke that this "transmission of sound over thousands of miles" is actually labor-intensive and of no great effect. It is just used to bluff people.Now she's not using it to bluff...just giving it away.

Ji Jianing lowered her head, startled that the tears in the corners of her eyes almost slipped down, she hurriedly raised her head and turned her face sideways, raised her sleeves to secretly wipe away the tears.Fortunately, Yun Ruochen was so immersed in the sorrow of parting that he didn't notice that his apprentice's mood was seriously wrong.

She also wanted to offer wine to Gu Che, and she also wanted to tell him "you have to take care".But in the end, she didn't even have the courage to approach him, so she could only greedily look at him a few more times through the crowd.

In her purse, there is also a well-woven peace knot, although it is not adorned with a magic jade.She still didn't send it out after all.

The princess master said to her, Jia Ning, the warlock is destined to be lonely.

The fate of a warlock has three disadvantages and five disadvantages.The three evils are money, power and life.The five deficiencies are widowed, widowed, lonely, alone, and disabled.The sorcerer leaked too many secrets, and the hit should be punished by heaven, so life can never be perfect.

Therefore, Yun Ruochen had no father or mother in his previous life, and his biological mother died early in this life, so he can't be happy in love.Ji Jianing broke up her six relatives, and her love...

Probably, it has died before it sprouted.

That's not bad, she thought to herself.Concentrating on practicing and pursuing the ultimate way of magic is her proper life goal.

Among the farewell crowd, there was no Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan originally planned to come, but suddenly fell ill a few days ago.Autumn Qi is the main killer. Although he has been cultivating hard, his inner strength is still not deep enough, and he will suffer from heart disease every autumn.

Yun Ruochen came back from outside the city and went to Song Guogong's mansion to visit Zhao Xuan.

In fact, there are very good doctors in Duke Song's mansion, and Zhao Xuan's problems cannot be cured by one or two potions.

During these years, Zhao Xuan's body was in a very contradictory state.

The exercise that Nie Shen chose for him is very suitable for him, and he has also practiced his internal strength and hidden weapons to a very good level.But his heart disease never got better.

During the autumn and winter when he was on the march that year, his heart disease became even more serious.The most serious one was the decisive battle outside the capital. He passed out when Yun Ruochen rushed over.

"Brother Xuan, are you okay?"

The servants were all outside the door, and Yun Ruochen didn't shy away from anything, he directly controlled his meridian door, and the true energy was infused in along the meridian.

Zhao Xuan smiled wryly, before he could speak, he saw Yun Ruochen frowning his beautiful eyebrows.

"Brother Xuan, I remember that a few days ago, your condition eased a lot, why is it like this again now?"

The true energy traveled through the eight meridians in his body three times before Yun Ruochen withdrew his hand, looked at Zhao Xuan with a complicated expression, and waited for his answer.

Zhao Xuan didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Fortunately, someone came to report at this time, and Chu Qingbo came.

When Chu Qingbo was outside, he was told that Princess Huarong would visit him first, and he would not be surprised to see Yun Ruochen, so he bowed politely.

After careful calculation, she hadn't seen this Chu Hanlin for a month or two.

I heard that he has become more and more popular recently, and I don't know what tricks he used. He is very popular in the Imperial Academy, and the old men in the courtyard who originally wanted to target him were also confused by him, and their attitude towards him has improved greatly.

Yun Ruochen likes such a partner very much, smart and worry-free, as long as it doesn't count on her.

Chu Qingbo didn't know that Zhao Xuan had a strange illness, because since he knew Zhao Xuan, he knew that Zhao Xuan had a congenital heart disease, and it was normal for him to have seizures from time to time.

With Chu Qingbo around, Zhao Xuan and Yun Ruochen had a hard time chatting, and after a few people exchanged pleasantries, she said goodbye and left.

"Princess? Are you unwell?"

When she came back from the palace and took off her make-up and prepared to go to bed, the princess's complexion was not in a good mood, she was a completely different person from her usual amiable.

Xia Hong didn't dare to talk too much, so she pushed Ji Jianing to ask, is the princess angry?
Could it be... the princess is very disappointed when Mr. Gu is gone?

This is possible!

Despite Xia Hong's shrewd, capable and sensible appearance on the surface, in fact, there is always a small flame of gossip burning in her heart.

She knew that her status in the princess's mind was not high, and she was a "available person", but she was not a confidant.It's not that she hasn't been jealous of Ji Jianing who "came out halfway", but she quickly adjusted her mentality.If she didn't even have this little cleverness, she would have been kicked out of the Chonghua Palace long ago, and she could still be the princess' personal maid?
So she has a very good relationship with Ji Jianing now, really good, not just pretending.Only the harmony from the heart can reassure the princess and leave the Chonghua Palace to them to take care of.

Ji Jianing's goal in life is to become a powerful magician like Yun Ruochen, but Xia Hong's goal is naturally not like that.Her goal in life is very simple, that is to be her grand maid well, to open a mansion with the princess in the future, and to be the maid of the princess mansion for the rest of her life.

Being able to leave the palace safely and spend her old age happily is already the biggest luxury in the heart of a court lady.

Ji Jianing didn't think about it that much, she was just worried about whether her princess master was too tired today.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ruochen, who was combing his hair, suddenly dropped the comb, flung his sleeves and went to bed by himself.

Ah, princess, what's the matter?
It's so abnormal...

Inside the curtain, Yun Ruochen's face was as cold as ice, and his hands were tightly clasped together, pressing against his forehead.

She was indeed angry, but she was not angry with Gu Che for leaving, but angry with Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan's question, if she guessed correctly and was wrong, it might be a madness caused by practicing kung fu.

Why would he take his own life as a joke?
