After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

After a simple meal, the two of them sat by the fire and chatted casually.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at the very willful Shen Jinyao, and even the one who lied smiled.

Shen Jinyao was surprised. "What are you laughing at?"

Xiang Hongxuan said truthfully: "You seem different from before."

Shen Jinyao couldn't help but become alert.

"When are you talking about?"

It’s impossible that Xiang Hongxuan still doubts her now?

Xiang Hongxuan noticed Shen Jinyao's vigilance and explained, "Here and in Wuhe Village."

To be precise, it was when I was at the Shen family.

After hearing this, Shen Jinyao stopped smiling.

Yes, during these days among the Qiang people, if one excludes the pressure of being in danger of her life at any time and the threat of having to complete the mission, she was indeed living comfortably among the Qiang people.

There is no need to pay attention to etiquette or think too much.

Thinking of this, she felt a little depressed.

After returning, she will become the virtuous and steady Shen Jinyao again.

She was afraid Xiang Hongxuan would overthink things, so she explained, "Maybe I get along well with Murong Wenjing, so I'm more relaxed. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, General Xiang."

Xiang Hongxuan quickly said, "No, I think you are more lively like this."

After Shen Jinyao heard this, she teased Xiang Hongxuan, "That's not what General Xiang said before. Did you ask?"

Xiang Hongxuan couldn't remember.

"What is Jin Yao talking about?"

"You said I wasn't virtuous enough, didn't know how to support my husband and raise my children, and that a woman like me was involved too much..."

"Jinyao, don't say anything. I apologize for what I said at that time. I... I... I..."

At this time, Xiang Hongxuan actually started to stutter.

He had indeed had these words and these thoughts before.

How should he explain to Shen Jinyao? After seeing everything Shen Jinyao did, he not only changed his opinion of her, but also began to face the fact that women are no worse than men.

"sorry."

He didn't know how to explain and could only apologize over and over again.

Shen Jinyao waved her hand magnanimously, "It's okay. It's good enough that you can realize this problem."

After all, this is the ancient era of male dominance.

Xiang Hongxuan didn't want to continue this topic. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "What is the miracle drug that Murong Wenjing mentioned?"

Shen Jinyao thought about it and told the truth.

Anyway, he had already put the medicine bottle into the space.

"Oh, that one, Murong Wencheng gave it to me. He said it would be very useful in times of crisis."

The original words were 'resurrection from the dead', but she didn't want to sound too mysterious.

Was it given by Murong Wencheng?

Sure enough, the person in the carriage was Murong Wencheng.

"What did he say to you?"

Shen Jinyao was stunned. How should she answer?

No matter how much she doesn't care about love between men and women, she can't openly tell another man that another man has confessed to her.

"Yeah... nothing."

Seeing that Shen Jinyao didn't want to say anything, Xiang Hongxuan held back.

In short, he wouldn't be able to see it again, so he stopped worrying about it.

"You are doing well this way. You can do the same when you return to Kyushu."

Shen Jinyao shook her head.

"When I can live on my own in the future, it should be possible."

The Shen family is still not safe now.

"Live on your own?"

Xiang Hongxuan didn't understand what Shen Jinyao meant?

Doesn't she want to get married?

"Yes, General, you don't think I can still get married, do you?"

Not only is she old, she is also a criminal and her engagement was broken off by the general. Who would dare to marry her?

"Then...what if someone asks for your hand in marriage?"

After hearing this, Shen Jinyao stared at Xiang Hongxuan.

Xiang Hongxuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and his face felt a little hot.

"No matter who proposes, I will find a way to ruin it."

Xiang Hongxuan felt a little confused.

He even suspected that Shen Jinyao had said that to him on purpose?

It was just a casual chat between the two of them, but they didn't expect it to come true not long after.

Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan decided to take turns keeping watch.

Originally, Xiang Hongxuan was going to keep watch by himself.

Shen Jinyao didn't agree.

"We've held night watches like this before. It's okay."

Xiang Hongxuan had no choice but to agree.

Xiang Hongxuan guarded the first half of the night, and Shen Jinyao guarded the second half.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jinyao had overslept, and Xiang Hongxuan didn't even call her.

When she opened her eyes, it was almost dawn.

"General Xiang, I'm sorry, I overslept. You should go to sleep and I'll keep watch."

Originally, Xiang Hongxuan wanted to say that he was not sleepy, but when he heard Shen Jinyao say that she would stay, he didn't say anything.

Shen Jinyao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiang Hongxuan close his eyes.

It must be her illusion, right?

Why did I feel like there was something ambiguous between them last night?

Xiang Hongxuan seemed to treat her a little differently than before.

However, it might be that she was overthinking it.

She shook her head with a smile.

Suddenly, Shen Jinyao became alert.

She shouted in a low voice, "Who!"

"What kind of man is this sneaky guy!!"

Xiang Hongxuan immediately sat up, picked up the knife and looked around.

A dark shadow ran by and Shen Jinyao chased after it.

Although Shen Jinyao's Qinggong skills are not very good, she runs quite fast.

Even so, I still couldn't catch up with the person in front.

The black-clad man's martial arts skills were so good that she had an illusion.

She was so tired that she gave up chasing him.

Shen Jinyao didn't want to waste her energy anymore. If that person wanted to kill them, she would confront him face to face.

She certainly won't lose.

The man in black watched Shen Jinyao walking back and indeed caught up with her.

He stopped in front of Shen Jinyao.

"Still so stupid."

This sound?

Shen Jinyao exclaimed in surprise, "Pan Ye?"

That’s right, who else could the man in black be but Pan Ye?

In fact, he was not a man in black, at least his face was not covered.

He just likes to wear black clothes.

"Why are you playing tricks on me?"

Pan Ye said mockingly, "You have something to hide."

"You can't come to me just to be funny, right?"

What is the charm of the Qiang people?

Why does she feel that everyone in the Qiang tribe seems to have liberated themselves?

However, Pan Ye's current state may also be related to the fact that he believes he killed Zhao Chengyun.

Unexpectedly, Pan Ye did not respond but looked at Shen Jinyao.

She seemed to suddenly think of something.

He smiled and said, "Are you also saying goodbye to me and giving me a gift?"

Pan Ye, "Also?"

Shen Jinyao changed the subject, "You're not going back?"

Pan Ye did not ask further questions, but answered seriously: "Yes, I am not going back. From now on, I will be a wandering hero."

Shen Jinyao didn't believe it.

"Are you kidding me? With the Emperor here, can you not go back?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Pan Ye's lips.

"It's because of him that I can't go back!!"

Shen Jinyao asked tentatively, "Why?"

In fact, Pan Ye’s strange behavior started from the last time he came to Wuhe Village.

On the way to the Qiang tribe, he seemed to be very worried.

She still remembered the conversation between the two of them that night.

"Drink?"

Pan Ye handed Shen Jinyao a pot of wine.

"Just say whatever you want."

Why does she feel like she has become a caring older sister?

One by one, they were either saying goodbye or talking to each other.
