Ying Zheng and Wu Chan walked side by side, holding Maple Leaf through the market in the city and walking out of the city.
Neither of them spoke, just like two children who had done something wrong and were afraid of being known by their parents.
Although there was no verbal communication, in their hearts, it was as if there was a little deer bumping around, and then each drove their extremely messy minds, colliding with each other, and colliding with extremely hot sparks, shining in the depths of their hearts. The place is extremely bright and gorgeous.
They didn't stop until they left the west gate and saw fewer people walking around.
Between the four eyes facing each other, layers of waves were stirred up, and wisps of tenderness emerged.
"Wuchan." Ying Zheng spoke, breaking the long silence between the two.
"Yeah." Wu Chan responded softly.
"I...I don't know how to talk about love, maybe because of my status." Ying Zheng said hesitantly, "Also, my current wife, they...are all princesses sent to each other during the marriage alliance..."
"Haha." Wu Chan said with a toothy smile, "I've known this for a long time."
Ying Zheng was suddenly a little stunned and asked, "You knew this a long time ago?"
"Why, your majestic King Qin, is it difficult to find out how many people there are in the harem?" Wu Chan said with a half-smile.
"Haha, it's not difficult. Then you..." Ying Zheng seemed to have been caught by someone, and his voice became much softer.
"You don't think that I revealed my feelings to you just because I want to win favor in your harem, do you?" Wu Chan asked with squinting eyes.
Ying Zheng asked with some confusion: "Since we are in love, what will happen if you don't come to my harem?"
Wu Chan sighed helplessly and said: "Just because we like each other does not mean that we will have a satisfactory result. After all, our identities are too special. It is impossible for me to abandon my own people. , who went to Da Qin with you, and vice versa, the same goes for you, right?"
Ying Zheng was silent. When the King of Xiqiang mentioned this matter before, he had not thought about this, but at that time, he had not even written a word about it, so he did not think much about it. Now it seems that this has really come true. A difficult question.
Seeing Ying Zheng's expression of embarrassment, Wu Chan said: "So, we can't rush things. There are too many obstacles and barriers between us. Now the two of us can only do our best. If in the end we can't If you don’t get what you want, then it can only be regarded as fate but not destiny.”
By the end of the sentence, Wu Chan was choked up and his tone was desolate.
Ying Zheng couldn't bear it, so he reached out and grabbed Wu Chan's cattails and said, "Even so, I will try my best to come up with the best way. You will wait, right?"
This time, Wu Chan did not pull his hand back, but nodded obediently, lying lightly in Ying Zheng's arms, feeling the tenderness that only belonged to two people.
The shortest distance in the world is the distance between hearts.
The most distant thing is that I am standing next to you, but I cannot be with you forever.
Two people who fell in love with each other had to face separation just after they confided their feelings. This was an extremely cruel thing for anyone, but it ironically happened to the two kings.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of their status as kings.
After an unknown amount of time, a carriage appeared in the distance. The two people hugging each other separated and then subconsciously adjusted their clothes.
"Brother." Wu Chan's address to Ying Zheng changed again, "Let's walk the maple leaf and let it get familiar with you."
Ying Zheng did not move, but looked back at Feng Ye's handsome figure.
"What's wrong?" Wu Chan asked.
"This maple leaf is too important to you. I think it's better to leave it to you. We don't lack war horses." Ying Zheng said seriously.
Wu Chan looked at Ying Zheng and said a little aggrievedly: "Why, brother gave up so quickly and rejected my affection?"
"No, no, no, it's not." Ying Zheng quickly explained, "I'm not rejecting you, I really want to give you the best."
"If I hadn't refused
Absolutely, then you accept it. Wu Chan said, "Although Maple Leaf and I
It's quite sentimental, but after all, it's not difficult to buy a similarly good horse from Dawan. "
After Wu Chan said this, Ying Zheng reluctantly agreed: "Okay, then I'll accept it, let's go, let's go around together."
After that, the two people jumped on Maple Leaf's horse one after another and walked forward along the road.
Riding a thousand-mile horse on his hip and holding Wu Chan in his arms, it felt like he had entered a dream. Ying Zheng's senses seemed to have failed, and he felt that the whole world was no longer real.
Wu Chan didn't say anything, he seemed to be enjoying the beauty and tenderness of this moment, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
The two of them walked and walked like this, until the sun set on the mountainside and the shadows of the man and the horse became slender, then they turned the horse's head and walked back.
"Wuchan." Ying Zheng finally said.
"Huh?" Wu Chan's voice was very soft and soft.
"I have nothing to give you, so I will leave the Black Iron Snail to you." Ying Zheng said.
"Xuantieluo? Aren't you still useful?" Wu Chan asked.
"It's useful, but it's not that urgent." Ying Zheng said, "And, only in this way can senior seize the time to make another one, and I followed suit."
"You plot against everyone." Wu Chan pretended to be angry, "One day, I will be plotted against you too."
"Of course not." Ying Zheng hurriedly explained, "Besides, this cannot be a plot against senior. Making black iron snails should probably be part of the homework."
"Homework?" Wu Chan asked, "What homework?"
"Haha, you will know when the time comes." Ying Zheng gave up.
Wu Chan turned his head and looked sideways at Ying Zheng, who was very close at hand: "Secret again?"
Ying Zheng shook his head slowly and said: "For you, I may not keep any secrets in the future, but now, there are some things that you still don't know. When I sort out all the connections, I will definitely tell them all." I’ll tell you everything you need to know.”
"Okay, it's settled," Wu Chan said.
"It's settled." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Come on, let's go back to the palace, and I'll teach you how to use the Black Iron Snail."
"Yeah!" Wu Chan nodded slightly, and gently pinched the horse's belly with his legs.
For Maple Leaf, she was never willing to use a riding crop.
The two returned to the palace and after eating something briefly, Ying Zheng took the black iron compass into Wu Chan's study and began to teach her how to use it.
In order to facilitate memory, Ying Zheng also copied the ancient characters on the compass and drew a disk of the same size, with the names of each metal mineral on it and the Chinese characters of the opposites on the inside.
Regarding the Chinese characters, Wu Chan didn't understand them all, so Ying Zheng pointed at them one by one, asking Wu Chan to fill in the corresponding exquisite texts.
On the second day, in the meeting hall, King Qiemo and all the elders of Qiemo appeared in the Jingjue temple.
Wu Chan, who was dressed in a gorgeous queen's costume, sat upright on his royal chair. He looked at King Qiemo and said, "King Qiemo, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you still satisfied with the fine wine and meat?"
King Qiemo smiled and said, "The food and wine are quite good, but I am not very comfortable in my movements."
"Haha, after today, you will be at ease." Wu Chan said with a smile, "I think King Qie Mo has already read the letter of credence."
"Of course I have seen it, but I still need to show it to the elders." King Qiemo said.
"Okay, then let's circulate the certificate of credence to the elders in Qiemo." Wu Chan waved his arm.
The great elder Qieluo took out the credentials he had prepared and handed them to the elders in Qiemo for circulation.
The elders in Qiemo have already looked at it many times, and now they just want to see if there are any changes.
After circulating it around, Chero said: "Do you still have any objections to this covenant?"
At the end of the day, everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, then please ask the three kings to put their fingerprints on each other." Chero said loudly.
Ying Zheng and Wu Chan
They stood up separately and came to the table where the credentials were placed.
There are six copies of this book of state, three copies each of Jingjuewen and Qinwen, all with exactly the same content.
Ying Zheng
He and Wu Chan pressed their fingerprints respectively.
King Qie Mo also stepped forward and pressed his palm prints.
"Hahaha." King Qiemo laughed and said, "In this way, I can take my people back to Qiemo."
"Of course you can." Wu Chan said, "If King Qie Mo misses Qie Mo, just bring your credentials and you can leave at any time."
"Then King Ben said goodbye." King Qiemo took the certificate of credence handed over by Chero and handed it to the elder Qiemo beside him.
"I won't send it away," Wu Chan said coldly.
King Qiemo turned around and walked away with all the Qiemo elders.
Although he said that he would not send them away, Zhehuai still led people to send everyone in Qiemo to the outside of Jingjue City.
The matter of Qie Mo was finally concluded, and the tension in the Jingjue temple suddenly disappeared.
But the strange thing is that all the Jingjue people looked at Ying Zheng in a strange way, just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
After the court ended, Ying Zheng resigned and wanted to go back to his camp. Of course Wu Chan couldn't stop him, but he personally escorted him out of the city.
Ying Zheng did not rush back to his camp, but took the lead to the Xiqiang camp and entered the Western Qiang king's tent.
"Brother Wang!" A low voice came from the side.
Ying Zheng followed the sound and saw that it was Solin and Qiang Yu.
Seeing the two brothers he hadn't seen for many days, Ying Zheng hurriedly greeted them: "Haha, I'm looking for you."
"Brother Wang, you are finally back, but you are worried about us." Thorin said.
"Yes, I heard that you followed Queen Wuchan to the Sand Mill in the north, but it made us both worried." Qiang Yu followed.
"Haha, it's not like we go deep into it, or we just go for a walk on the edge. There's nothing to worry about." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I'm not thinking about you, so I rushed here as soon as I came back."
"Oh?" Thorin looked puzzled, "Really?"
"Brother Wang, are you sure you just came back and not yesterday?" Qiang Yu also asked.
Ying Zheng: "..."
At this time, another laugh came from the side: "Hahaha, it's good that King Qin can think of us."
Ying Zheng turned around and saw that it was the King of Xiqiang.
"These past few days, we have been bored to death." King Xiqiang said, "King Qin, you just left when you asked, leaving us alone in the Jingjue Palace. I was really bored, so I took the two of them with me. We returned to the camp alone, but I heard that King Qin didn’t go in vain this time, hahaha..."
Ying Zheng pretended not to understand: "The King of Xiqiang refers to...?"
Before King Xiqiang could answer, Thorin said anxiously: "Brother Wang is really pretending to be confused because he understands. Did you come back yesterday?"
"Yeah, that's right." Ying Zheng replied.
"Then what did you do yesterday?" Qiang Yu's eyes were quite meaningful.
"I..." Ying Zheng said hesitantly, "I went to walk my horse."
"Walking whose horse?" Thorin asked again.
"Uh, it belongs to Wu Chan." Ying Zheng said.
"Is it still Wuchan's?" Qiang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked playfully.
"Okay, you guys." Ying Zheng finally understood, "You all know?"
"Hehe." Suolin said with a smile, "Yesterday I saw Zhehuai going to Qiemo's camp, so I guessed that you guys were back, and then I followed Zhehuai to the palace, but I heard that Brother Wang and Wu Chan left the palace. Go to the west gate."
"So, the three of us followed behind secretly, but..." At the end of the sentence, Qiang Yu covered his eyes with both hands, as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen, "How shameful."
"Okay, you guys are actually following me." Ying Zheng looked very angry.
"That's not stalking, that's secret protection." Thorin said with a wicked smile.
"Okay, don't
There's a fuss. "The King of Xiqiang said seriously, "I heard from Zhehuai that the King of Qin will leave all the flying crossbows carried by the Qin army to Jingjue. This king has worked hard to serve as a guide. After returning, he will also need the protection of the exquisite flying crossbows. My tribe, I wonder when King Qin will fulfill his promise?"
Ying Zheng: "..."
