Ma'am, do you dare to answer?

The cold moonlight slanted in from the window lattice, and the shadows of branches were reflected on the screen window, folded into the room, and outlined a simple landscape painting. The curtain beside the bed hung on the ground, blocking the gusts of cold wind. The remaining bursts of warm fragrance seemed to waft out from the bed curtain.Lian Yan moved her arms, looked at Qin Yun who was sleeping soundly, and frowned subconsciously. She intentionally stayed with Qin Yun for one more night, and she wanted to delay the time. Lian Yan wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so she could only coax her to sleep and then get up quietly.

Regarding Xia Qingshan's matter, since he kept it a secret, Lian Yan thought about it and simply concealed it. Although Xia Qingshan's injury has stabilized now, the situation is not good. She went to see it several times, and Xia Qingshan woke up. I would talk to her sometimes, but my mental state has not been very good.

Lian Yan told Qin Yun that Xia Qingshan had returned to the cottage, and that was why Qin Yun had to go back to the cottage to have a look, but since it was a lie, how could she find someone?

Lian Yan carefully pulled out her arm, watched Qin Yun move but did not wake up, waited for a while before lifting the quilt, got out of bed lightly, adjusted the bed curtain, and left quietly room.

Seeing that Lian Yan had only come out at this moment, the deputy general who had been waiting for orders hurried over and asked, "I don't know what orders the general has?"

"Go to Zhecui Mountain and pass on a message for me." It was said to be a message, but it was not that simple. Lian Yan told the ins and outs of the matter in detail: "Don't be careless, teach her You can see the clue, you know?"

"Don't worry, general." The deputy general cupped his hands, and when he looked at Lian Yan again, he was a little puzzled: "Why does the general take such good care of Miss Qin?"

Xia Qingshan's injury is known to everyone at the foot of the mountain. As soon as Miss Qin arrived at Canglan City, the general gave an order. Don't say anything about Xia Qingshan. The place where Xia Qingshan recuperates Even in concealment, coupled with the general's deliberate concealment, it can be considered that he was not discovered by surprise.

However, the deputy general just couldn't figure it out, even the general didn't get close to anyone in the past, except for martial arts and sword training with the brothers in the barracks, I didn't see her being so attentive to anyone else.Why did he get to Canglan, and he walked with Miss Qin day and night, and took care of everything in a decent and meticulous way. He followed Lian Yan, so he knew that Lian Yan didn't pay much attention to him at all. It's not uncommon to drink some steamed buns and drink cold water when you're in bed, but it's different when you meet this young lady. Even those who don't know her look will inevitably think too much about her caring appearance.

And now, in the middle of the night, putting people to sleep and arranging follow-up issues in a hurry, with such a caring appearance, he is really not the former general.

When Lian Yan heard the lieutenant general's question, he didn't put on any airs of superiors, and just slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Because she is very important."

Such a simple sentence, not thick and colorful, but it has a soul-stirring taste.

After Lian Yan finished explaining the matter, she returned to the bed with a feeling of coolness all over her body. She didn't want to disturb Qin Yun. Yun probably noticed it, squinting her eyes without opening her eyes, she pulled Lian Yan's arm and pulled it in, with a hoarse voice that hadn't woken up: "Where are you going? Your hands are so cold."

She said it was so cold, but she put Lian Yan's hand into her arms. She didn't think anything wrong, she just wanted to warm Lian Yan's hands, but when Lian Yan touched the warmth, , his eyes couldn't help but darken again, and then he obediently got into the quilt, put a little distance from Qin Yun, and coaxed her softly: "Go to sleep."

Qin Yun murmured and didn't know what to say, followed Lian Yan's position and moved over, put her hands on Lian Yan's waist, hugged Lian Yan in her arms, and soon fell asleep again.

Because of Lian Yan's deliberate delay, when Qin Yun returned to Jicui Mountain, it was getting late and the mountain was deserted. Many people had already gone down the mountain and had other arrangements, and most of the people left were elderly people. , There are still many complicated feelings about this place, and I want to stay a little longer. When Qin Yun came back, the lights had already been turned on, and the light reflected the remnant snow on the ground, which felt a bit desolate.

Qin Yun sniffed, feeling a little empty in her heart. This was her home, but suddenly it wasn't her home.

The flowers on the mountain trotted all the way to greet her, and when they saw Qin Yun, they immediately hugged her, with a very pitiful look of grievance: "Miss, why did you come back? Everyone is going down the mountain. Xiaoshan said that he wants me Go with him, we live next to each other so that we can take care of him, but I don’t want to go, I want to follow Missy, Missy, don’t you want flowers anymore?”

While speaking, the tears came down.

The sobbing appearance made Qin Yun feel even more uncomfortable.Since she agreed to go to the capital with Lian Yan, she would naturally not live with them. Thinking about leaving the place where she grew up and these familiar people, Qin Yun's eyes were also sour, and she held back her dissatisfaction. Comfortable, he touched Hua'er's head, and said: "Hua'er, why would I not want you? My sister and I grew up together, why do we still say such outrageous things? Come on, stop crying, be careful of the big guy I'm making fun of you."

I had heard the news that Qin Yun was coming back a long time ago, and people who hadn't left the mountain came to welcome them one after another. Qin Yun wiped Hua'er's tears, and the scene became uncontrollably gloomy for a while. Sad, said some witty words, and arranged for people to prepare good wine and food, and the dinner table was also lively.

only……

"Where's Uncle Xia?" Qin Yun had already discovered that she hadn't seen Xia Qingshan's shadow since she went up the mountain. There were several tables in the hall, and almost all the people who hadn't left the mountain were seated, but Xia Qingshan was the only one who could not be seen. , Qin Yun put down the wine cup in her hand: "Why don't you see him?"

There was a moment of silence in the lively and noisy scene, and the old man who was sitting next to Qin Yun quickly pushed Qin Yun down, put the wine cup back into her hand, and pretended to be angry and said: "Why? If Qingshan is not here, the second uncle will not drink this wine? Do it first, and the second uncle will tell you."

Qin Yun looked at the old man's staring eyes, so she drank the wine in her hand and explained, "No, Second Uncle, I haven't seen Uncle Xia since I followed Zijin down the mountain. When I was down the mountain, I said He's busy, I'll come back now, he's still not here, even if he's busy, it's not like we can't even meet each other, right?"

"There are so many miscellaneous things up and down the mountain, all relying on Qingshan, who is busy if he is not busy?" The second uncle took a sip of a glass of wine before continuing: "We old guys have no other requirements, just want to live together after we go down the mountain." Recently, it’s best to be together. Don’t be busy going to Qingshan? That’s Canglan City and it’s not us who hide Cuishan. Naturally, we need to spend some time. Yun’er knows that it’s enough to think about it. Qingshan, you can finish your work by yourself Just come over."

After speaking, he raised the wine glass again, covering his face, and drank the wine in the glass.

After a lively meal, Qin Yun drank two more glasses of wine, and her face was flushed. Hua'er helped her back to the small building. The small building was still the same as before, and there was a burst of warmth when the door was opened , Qin Yun sat on the soft bed, but didn't feel sleepy at all. This was her room, but she always felt that something was missing.

When Hua'er came back from fetching hot water, she saw Qin Yun sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. She closed the door and lowered her head and said, "Miss, soaking your feet in hot water is more comfortable, and you can sleep soundly at night."

Qin Yun smiled: "My Hua'er is still caring. Hua'er, I have something to tell you."

Hua'er spread the bed, heard the words, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips: "Miss, do you want to talk about going to the capital? When will you leave?" Hua'er has always been aware of this matter. The matter of Lancheng is over, so leaving is naturally on the agenda, she is not afraid, she is not afraid to go anywhere with the eldest lady, but she is a little bit reluctant.

"Hurry up." Qin Yun leaned against the bedpost, playing with the veil, with a slight smile on her mouth: "Hurry up. Uncle Xia is really busy. He has been busy and never sees anyone. I still have something to talk to him about." Let's discuss."

Now the only elders around Qin Yun who are very close to her are Xia Qingshan. Qin Yun's thinking is still that of a young daughter. She has been well protected since she was a child, and her thoughts are pure, especially when she wants to travel far away. She couldn't tell Lian Yan about that kind of hesitation, and the only person she could confide in was Xia Qingshan, an elder. Besides, Qin Yun didn't know what Xia Qingshan was thinking, and whether she was willing to go with her.

From Qin Jian's death to the series of events after Ouyang Lu set fire to the mountain, Qin Yun didn't have time to communicate with Xia Qingshan. She didn't know Xia Qingshan's plan, but she had her own little plan. When Abacus told Xia Qingshan, she found that her Uncle Xia was too busy to be seen.

Hearing Qin Yun's coquettish and angry little complaints, Hua'er bit her lips, and her movements froze. After a long time, she seemed to have made a decision, and said in a low voice: "Miss, Mr. Xia, after going down the mountain that day, never came back.”

Qin Yun was kicking the water to play, the hot water splashed on her snow-white and delicate toes, it was really cold: "You, what are you talking about?" She had a forced smile on her face, but the pot of hot water under her feet was overturned. It wet the fluffy carpet on the ground, and the water flowed all over the floor.

"Say it again! What do you mean you haven't come back? Didn't the second uncle say that he..." Qin Yun couldn't keep up with her breath, and tightly grasped the veil: "Haven't come back?"

"Yes." Hua'er hastily brought Qin Yun's cotton shoes, ignoring the water all over the place, and put Qin Yun on a soft bench beside her: "There has been no news from Mr. Xia until last night, when he came down the mountain A general in armor said what the second uncle said, and we don't know the rest."

Hua'er is young and can't handle things, she is ignorant and ignorant, but the eyes of the second uncle and the others last night were red, Hua'er can see it clearly, and she saw it when the second uncle was drinking today, and the eyes are clearly full of tears. Weeping, no matter how stupid Hua'er is, she can still tell that this is a lie, and the person who deceived her is the eldest lady.

last night?Yesterday she suddenly wanted to go back to the mountain, but Lian Yan stopped her and stayed for an extra night, was it for her to deliver the news?Why did Lian Yan lie to her?Where did Uncle Xia go?Or, what happened to Uncle Xia?

Qin Yun supported the table and stood up: "I'll ask her."

Hua'er saw Qin Yun's panic-stricken look, and quickly grabbed her: "Miss, it's getting dark, I'll ask tomorrow, I'll ask tomorrow." She grabbed Qin Yun, fearing that if she let go, Qin Yun would die. Let's go, the snow on the mountain has not yet melted, the road is muddy, it is exhausting to walk during the day, let alone when you can't see the road clearly in the middle of the night?

Hua'er is very regretful now, regretting that she shouldn't talk too much, say those words more.A thin layer of cold sweat had already begun to ooze from Qin Yun's forehead. She couldn't think about it. There were bad pictures in front of her eyes, even bloody ones. She shook her head and pulled the flowers away. Without returning, he strode away.

Qin Yun's footsteps were hasty and hasty, and she fell down twice before leaving the courtyard of the small building. Hua'er hurriedly followed behind her, and after Qin Yun fell down again, she hurried to catch up and hold her, Crying and coaxing: "Miss, let's go back first, wait for tomorrow, and ask tomorrow when it dawns."

tomorrow?Can I tell her to make up another lie to deceive myself tomorrow?Qin Yun is very conscious, Lian Yan also coaxed her to tell her tomorrow, if Hua'er was not young, maybe she would have believed everything, kept hiding it from her, and finally made up a reason to deceive her Leaving Canglan, what about Uncle Xia?

Regardless of the pain in her body, Qin Yun got up on the ground with her hands on her hands, and broke free from Hua'er's hand, with stubborn eyes: "Uncle Xia, that's Uncle Xia, not some other insignificant person! Whether he lives or dies, You can't hide it from me, I have the right to know the truth!"

Even if, even if he is really...then there should be someone to wear mourning for him.This was the final ending that Qin Yun could think of. With tears on her face and flushed eyes, she wiped her face clean, leaving Hua'er with a stubborn and persistent back.Hua'er was crying badly in the back, seeing the eldest lady like this, she slapped herself hard, leaving a clear palm print on her pretty face, and trotted towards Qin Yun to catch up.

There were two young guards at the gate of the mountain. Everything was quiet at the moment and they were yawning when they saw Qin Yun walking over in a panic, and was about to ask what was wrong, but Qin Yun seemed to have never seen them at all, and directly After crossing the past, Hua'er who was following behind shook her head and didn't say much. The two guessed a little more when they saw this posture, leaving one to continue guarding the mountain gate, and the other followed down the mountain.

It is impossible to walk normally on the mountain road at night, especially when the snow is about to melt. Qin Yun keeps falling and getting up again, and then keeps getting up again. After walking to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate are naturally very familiar with this Miss Qin who is loved by General Lian in every possible way, but seeing the muddy body of the Miss Qin in front of her, with scars all over her body, she is very similar to The face of the little maid next to her was still swollen, and the slap print was too obvious. For a moment, she thought Miss Qin was being bullied by someone, and she was quite shocked.

"Where's Lian Yan?" Qin Yun's voice was hoarse, with an involuntary momentum, a little aggressive.

"General, the general is here, resting at the inn." Xiaobing was frightened by Qin Yun's aura, and his words were probably stuttering. At this time, the general is naturally at the inn, otherwise where else could he be?

But when Qin Yun dragged her heavy legs to the post station, she didn't see Lian Yan at all. She searched the post station, but couldn't find Lian Yan. The corners of her eyes turned red, and she kicked Opening Ge Lao Youwei's room, grabbed Huang Youwei who was still under the blanket, and asked sharply, "Where is Lian Yan?"

Huang Youwei was still sleeping soundly. Seeing Qin Yun who was like a ghost in front of him, he didn't know what happened for a while, but the deputy general who heard the sound pulled Qin Yun away, and said bravely: "The humble officer knows that the general Where."

☆, you tell me the truth!
