away from the heart

Chapter 224
Chuyue sat in the tent, flipping through the book, her eyelids drooping, and Xue Yao hurriedly stepped forward to shake her awake.Chu Yueqiang cheered up and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't sleep. I'm happy just looking at you. If people are happy, why would they want to sleep?"

However, Xue Yao's eyes were red, and he stroked her face lightly, unable to say a word.

Chuyue hurriedly patted his face: "Don't be sad, there are [-] minutes in a day and a night, we can spend the remaining minutes and seconds in a lot of time, and it will be a lifetime."

Seeing her bright smile, Xue Yao felt sore in his heart, he turned his head away: "I'll go and pour you some water."

He came back with the kettle in hand, but found that the atmosphere in the camp was not right, and everyone avoided looking at him.Xue Yao looked around, but found that many people and horses were missing, and he knew it immediately: "Did the Lord Shun take someone to find Dong Shi?"

His subordinate Song Yingzhang had a bitter face: "Prince Shun didn't let me tell it. I said earlier that I couldn't hide it from the general."

The curtain was lifted, but Chuyue happened to overhear their conversation.She became anxious: "Then why are we still staying here, why don't we go to the palace soon?"

"I'll go, you stay here." Xue Yao frowned, "The palace is too dangerous."

"Of course I know the danger. I have never been a brave person. I have lived tremblingly until now, but because of you, I can be fearless. Believe me once, how much time do I have to be brave?"

Xue Yao still refused, Chuyue took Xue Yao's hand, "I know, the person I love is a great hero who values ​​love and righteousness, and a good man who stands up to the sky. Xue Yao, I want to stand with you. "

Xue Yao sensed Chuyue's intentions, stopped talking, and held her hand tightly.

The sky was about to break and the stars were few and far between. Naxi squinted her eyes at the spectacle of the sun and the moon shining together in the sky. She was fascinated by the sound of horseshoes in her ears, and she immediately became vigilant.

Doertu stepped forward to report, "Princess, our people are here."

I saw a few Xizhao soldiers led by secret envoys carrying a closed box into the post station. Naxi hurriedly approached and ordered someone to open the box impatiently, but was shocked.

There was no trace of Xuantie in the box, only a few farm tools piled up randomly.

"What's going on here, where is Xuan Tie?" Na Xi rummaged through the inside and outside of the box without giving up.

The secret envoy clasped his hands and replied: "The craftsmen from Nansang made our black iron into agricultural tools, and said they would teach us to plow the fields."

"What about the mine, have you kept it?" Na Xi looked at the emissary eagerly.

"By the time your message arrives, it will be too late." The emissary lowered his head, "When General Xue left Xizhao, he had already planted spies, and they were the ones who blew up the mine."

"Xue Yao, you lied to me!" The feeling of being deceived was really uncomfortable, Naxi stood up angrily, and was about to rush out of the station to ask Xue Yao for an explanation, but was stopped by the secret envoy and Dortu Qiqi.

"Princess, the king asked us to bring these things here, just to persuade you to go back. You don't need to whip a good horse, why should you force it to stay if you are affectionate, forget it."

"Forget it? He tricked me into using me to hurt me, so forget it? I'm going to see Xue Yao. None of you can stop me!" After finishing speaking, Na Xi broke free from the shackles of the secret envoy and Dortu, and forced his way out. station.
