Prime Minister, please pick me up

Chapter 344
After pausing on the spot for a long time, Yin Zixi couldn't say a word for a long time.

Yue Shijiu stood in front of the table in the room and looked at the other party, his eyes were clear, without any emotion.

"Since you're here, sit down." After a while, it was Yue Shijiu who broke the silence between the two.

Yin Zixi had a lot to say in his heart, but at this moment, looking at the calm-looking person in front of him, he couldn't say a single word.

He walked into the room step by step, but his eyes never moved away from Yue Shijiu.

Yue Shijiu poured a cup of tea for Yin Zixi very naturally, and placed it in front of him.

The teacup was full of steam, and the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

It was eerily quiet.

"I've recovered my memory." His eyes shifted slightly, and instead of falling on Yin Zixi, he looked at the quiet night outside and spoke softly.

Before Yin Zixi could speak, Yue Shijiu continued, "I don't blame you for what happened back then. At the same time, thank you for your care and company these years."

Listening to what Yue Shijiu said, Yin Zixi felt a little flustered in her heart. Is Xiaojiu trying to draw a line with herself...? !

"You've been in Miaojiang for so long, you should know the meaning of unraveling the Tumi Shuangsheng, which is no different from your Central Plains harmony and separation. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other." Yue Shijiu's voice was very soft Light, seems to have extremely complex emotions, but also seems to have no emotions.

"Xiao Jiu, really...don't you give me any chance?" Yin Zi hoped for Yue Shijiu, and there was an unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

Yue Shijiu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook her head, "Zixi, I still don't belong here after all." Miao Jiang is her home.

"I can go back to Miaojiang with you, and I don't need everything here!" Yin Zixi's voice was a little urgent.

Yue Shijiu's eyes were clear, "I don't need you to give up anything for me." After a pause, he said slowly, "The main reason is that my memory has been blurred for so many years, and I no longer feel the way I used to for you! "

As soon as these words came out, Yin Zixi's face turned pale as snow.

I don't have the same feeling as before, so...don't love him anymore? !
"I don't regret that I loved you back then, but for now, that's just the beginning." Yue Shijiu's words were so decisive that there was no room for maneuver in Yin Zixi's ears.

She said that she loved him, but only at the beginning.

After that, Yue Shijiu didn't speak any more, just looked at the other party quietly, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

Do you love the person in front of you?Love, love before, now?Do not know, but, do not want to love!
She doesn't like betrayal and deceit, but Yin Zixi back then had...all of them.

Take it all!
Yin Zixi's purpose in contacting her from the very beginning was not pure. She is an extremely stubborn person. She doesn't mind other things later on, but she only minds that Yin Zixi approached her purposefully for other women in the beginning.

"You're leaving Yanfeng, aren't you?" Yin Zixi kept looking at Yue Shijiu, and suddenly asked lightly.

"It's not about leaving, I'm just going back." Yue Shijiu replied lightly.What's more, she can't go back to Miaojiang now, she has to find her brother, at least, she can't watch him do stupid things.

"Jinxue should be in Cangzhou, I'll take you there!" After a long time, Yin Zixi spoke softly.

Jinxue is not in Miaojiang now, and Xiao Jiu probably won't go to Miaojiang either, and nine out of ten she will go to find him.

After all, to Xiao Jiu, Jinxue has always been like a brother and father, and she is also the person Xiao Jiu trusts most.

"No need, although I'm not very good at martial arts, none of you Central Plains people are my opponents with Gu, and there are hidden guards left by my brother beside me." However, she needs to send Qixi to a safe place first , but, I don't know if that little girl will agree.

Moreover, she will stay in Miaojiang directly in the future, and she should not come to the Central Plains again, and there is no need for any more involvement between the two of them.

Yin Zixi pursed his lips slightly, did not speak again, and did not know what else he could say at this moment.

Yue Shijiu looked up at Yin Zixi with a faint smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the expression between his brows lightened a little, slightly shallow, his mood was very calm, and it could even be said to be calm, "Yin Zixi, you ...Take care!" Between them, they probably won't meet again in the future.

His clear eyes narrowed, his face was pale without any color, and after a long time, he said in a low voice, "Okay, take care!" It was obviously just four simple words, but it was extremely difficult to say them from his lips, as if Exhausted all the strength.

After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at Yue Shijiu, then turned and left.

For so long, he faced Xiao Jiu who had lost his memory every day, with ignorant eyes and an indifferent attitude. At that time, he felt that her ignorance was already extremely painful to him, so he kept on Thinking about what Xiao Jiu can restore memory.

It's just that he didn't expect that he only knew that Xiao Jiu had recovered his memory when he knew that Tumi Shuangsheng had been released. Looking down at his white and slender fingers, Yin Zixi's face was a bit obscure.

He knew what the knot in Xiaojiu's heart was, and he also knew what she was thinking about. The feelings she wanted had to be clean, pure, and not mixed with any purpose. Therefore, from the beginning, he approached Xiao Jiu with a purpose. When they meet each other, it is doomed, there is no solution between them!
Looking at the almost black moon in the black sky, Yin Zixi's eyes were dry and dry, and he felt an urge to cry.

What should he do now to restore the relationship between him and Xiao Jiu? !
Yue Shijiu didn't speak, but just stood there and quietly looked at the figure who was walking away in the night, his lively eyes were complicated and as deep as ink.

It wasn't until the figure disappeared from sight that Yue Shijiu sighed, looked down at the Tumi flowers that no longer existed, smiled, and there was a bit of relief in his eyes.

From now on, so be it!
Leaving the room, he headed directly towards Bai Qixi's yard.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Knock on the door.

Soon, voices came from inside.

"Sister Jiu, why are you here?" Bai Qixi opened the door and saw that it was Yue Shijiu who came, and she was obviously surprised.Sister Nine seems to be in a bad mood these days, she is often in a daze, sitting on a chair is said to last the whole afternoon.

"Qixi, shall I take you to the Valley of No Return?" Yue Shijiu discussed with Bai Qixi.

Bai Qixi frowned and asked, "Ninth Sister, did something happen? Where's my father?" She hadn't seen her father for several days.

Yue Shijiu froze for a moment, she couldn't explain this kind of thing to Qixi clearly, reached out and touched her head, softened her tone a bit, bent down and looked at her seriously, "Qixi , do you believe in Ninth Sister?"

Bai Qixi also looked at her seriously and nodded.

"Well, sister Jiu is going to find your father, but it may not be safe for you to stay in Yanfeng, so I will send you to Wuhui Valley first, and then you can see Yuheng, don't you always want to him?"

Hearing this, Bai Qixi frowned and didn't answer right away.

After hesitating for a long time in silence, he asked in a low voice, "Can't you take me with you?"

Yue Shijiu shook his head, "It's very dangerous." The elder brother only had such a daughter, and she couldn't let Qixi be in any danger.

Bai Qixi didn't speak any more, but frowning sullenly, her eyes like black pearls were a little deep, and she looked at Yue Shijiu without blinking.

"Then will you and your father be in danger?"

Yue Shijiu patted her little head again as if reassuring, "We are adults now, nothing will happen." Then he added, "You and Yuheng will stay in Wuhui Valley for a while, and your father and I will I'll be picking you up soon."

After all, Bai Qixi still knows how to measure, she is not the kind of unreasonable temper, nodded, "Okay, but you and father must come to me."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his little finger unconvincedly, "Pull the hook!"

Yue Shijiu was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and hooked her little finger.

"Hanging on the hook, it must not be changed for 100 years!" Bai Qixi's voice, although immature and unique to children, also had some deep worries.

"Okay, take a good rest now, and I'll see you off tomorrow morning." Looking at Bai Qixi in front of him, Yue Shijiu smiled softly.

Bai Qixi looked up at Yueshijiu for a while, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't ask, "Ninth Sister, good night!" After finishing speaking, she closed the door.

On the ninth day of the month, he also returned directly to his courtyard.

Three days later.

Liufeng Gorge.

Liufeng Gorge is the first gorge north of Cangzhou City, surrounded by mountains, majestic and vast, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.

To the south of Liufeng Gorge is Cangzhou, and to the north is Mucheng, which stretches for hundreds of miles from north to south.

In the distance, there was the sound of trampling horseshoes.

A group of people, not too many, but not too many, about 200 people.

The leader was dressed in a light blue dress, with black hair in a high bun, but there was a deep look between the delicate eyebrows and eyes.

These people are naturally Feng Qingchi and his group who took a shortcut.

From Mucheng, take the mountain road directly, pass through Liufeng Gorge and then arrive in Cangzhou. It only takes two days, but if you take the road in Anyang City, it will take four days. In order to save time, Feng Qingchi directly chose Liufeng Gorge. road.

Looking at the imprints of wheels on the grass on the ground, Feng Qingchi frowned slightly.

"The rut looks like it's not long ago, probably no more than three days." Yin Zixi, who was driving alongside Feng Qingchi, naturally noticed it, and said with a frown.

"Furthermore, there are so many plants and trees that have been crushed in these places, and there are at least a dozen or twenty of those vehicles, and they are still going south." Feng Qingchi's ability to observe and judge is extremely strong, his eyes wandered around, and then came to this conclusion.

Going south is to Cangzhou.

"The Cangzhou War started a long time ago, and the flames of war are raging everywhere. At this time, most people will choose to go north to seek refuge. Even commercial companies, because the war has already cut off the Cangzhou route." Feng Qingchi looked along these ruts. Go, the tone is a little faint.

It's not the people taking refuge, it's not the caravan passing by...

Feng Qingchi and Yin Zixi looked at each other, and they both saw some indescribable depth and solemnity in each other's eyes.

It is intriguing to find so many new wheel marks here at this time.

Feng Qing pulled the rein in his hand, and the steed took two steps on the spot, then stopped.

She stopped, and the people behind her also stopped naturally. No one spoke, they were all dressed in black, their faces were indifferent and serious, but they were extremely capable. One could tell at a glance that these people were a very disciplined team.

"Miss Feng, what happened?" Xuan Er stepped forward slowly and asked.

He is one of the hidden guards around His Majesty Zihuang, the top hidden guard in Yuyu. Little girl, why did you go to the border to cause trouble, but the performance of the other party along the way made him a little impressed.

The three-day journey on horseback, and this extremely difficult mountain road, even adult men can't stand it, but this Miss Feng didn't say a word, not only that, she was even the one who led the way all the way, She didn't have any fear or uneasiness, and she was full of deterrence. She couldn't tell what kind of aura it was. Anyway, it made people...can't help but follow her decision.

"Rest in place!" Feng Qingchi glanced at the people behind him, and said softly.For the past three days, they basically did not rest in order to rush on their way. Although these people seemed to have nothing wrong with them, but Feng Qingchi was a doctor, so he observed people more carefully than others, and he could see that their faces were more or less different. A little tired.

"Miss Feng, we can still hurry." Xuan Se replied.He knew that Feng Qingchi was in a hurry to get to the border.

Feng Qing looked at him with clear eyes, "I don't want to rush to the border by then, half of your 200 people will be destroyed."

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Xuan Er another chance to speak, and directly ordered, "Rest on the spot for half an hour." When Feng Qingchi said this, his eyes were cool and indifferent, but with a light that could not be violated. Capturing people, vaguely revealing the aura of the superior.

Yin Zixi sat on the horse and looked at Feng Qingchi like this, a faint smile appeared on his pale face, and he was also somewhat thoughtful.

In the past, when she came into contact with Qingchi, except for the occasional cynicism, the other party basically had a simple and indifferent appearance. However, her performance along the way was a bit like that of the past. A high position, with power in the hands of the public, and having been on the battlefield before, not everyone has the aura of killing and deterrence, it's just that she suppresses it all the time and doesn't show it.

However, just the ability to freely retract and release one's own breath is already extremely rare.

Looking at Xuan Er who was somewhat shocked, Yin Zixi smiled lightly again.Looking at the whole Chengyu, Xuan Er is also extremely good, but he was stunned by Feng Qingchi's words. Yin Zixi suddenly looked forward to what Feng Qingchi, who gave advice on the battlefield, would look like!

"Yes." Came back to his senses, Xuan Er replied respectfully.

Tilting his head slightly, he saw Yin Zixi who was looking at him with a slight smile. The expression on Xuan Er's face was a bit... quite complicated.The scene of being dazed just now must have been seen by the commander. After all, he is the best in the world, but he was shocked by a woman's words...

Thinking of this, Xuan Er not only had a complicated expression, but even a complicated mood.

Then he thought about it again, this Miss Feng is a friend of His Majesty the Zihuang, or someone whom the Prime Minister Zuo threatened to marry, so she is naturally different from ordinary women.Thinking of it this way, the complexity in Xuan Er's heart eased a bit.

"Are you going to find out where these traces lead to?" Yin Zixi was worthy of being Feng Qingchi's close friend, she guessed what she was thinking all of a sudden, and said lightly.

Feng Qingchi nodded.In three days, the convoy must have gone far, but there will always be some clues left behind.

"Let's go, I'll go with you!" After finishing speaking, Yin Zixi quickly jumped off the horse.

Feng Qingchi also dismounted, and the two walked side by side along the tracks of the wheels.

After walking for about fifteen and a half hours, the two turned two turns on the not-so-flat mountain road. Finally, at the third turn, they found some black marks on the grass that had been trampled into mud beside the wheel tracks. .

Crouching down, Feng Qingchi wiped the black powder with his hand, put it between his nose and smelled it, his complexion became more serious in an instant, and even his voice became a lot lower, "The smell of saltpeter and sulfur."

"Gunpowder?" Yin Zixi was a little surprised.

Standing up slowly, he rubbed his two fingers holding the black powder, then squinted his eyes and nodded, "It should be."

Yin Zixi didn't speak, but just silently looked at the majestic mountains.

A dozen or twenty vehicles of gunpowder, this matter is no small matter.

If it's one of my own, it's okay to say, but if it's Shuyue...

Thinking of this, Yin Zixi looked towards the south direction, his eyes were a little deep.Only a few hundred miles to the south of Liufeng Gorge is Cangzhou. The city closest to Shuyue is also the most precarious place in Yanfeng. It was the most tragic, but at that time, the city was almost destroyed.

However, if it is conquered from within the city, it will be another matter!
