Li Chenan turned around.
Looking at An Zi's round back under the sunset, a happy smile appeared on his face.
He didn't explain to An Zizi.
In order to make the trip to Xishan safe, he has made many arrangements.
The next step is not to rush to Xishan, but to wait!
Waiting for the arrival of Wang Zheng Jinzhong.
Waiting for Zhang Sun Hongyi to arrive with three thousand wind guards.
Also waiting for the news from Xishan.
Of course, the more important thing is to wait for the most important guest of Xishan's peach blossom banquet to arrive.
So after the team set up camp here, Li Chenan gave the order for everyone to stay here temporarily.
He stopped moving!
This wait is three days!
The first day of April in the twenty-fourth year of Zhaohua.
The sky is a little dark, and it is expected to rain.
There was a wild peach tree in the corner of the pond. Li Chenan stood next to the peach tree and looked at the flowers on the peach tree.
In just three days, two or three peach blossoms have bloomed on the branches.
The small purple flower on Xiao Baozi's head has withered.
Li Chenan picked a peach blossom and pinned it on Xiao Baozi's head. The pink peach blossom and the pink face should be the human face complemented by the peach blossom.
Very beautiful.
Xiao Baozi raised his head slightly and looked at Li Chenan with his slender eyes, undisguised worry:
"How about we go back?"
"hold on."
"What are you waiting for?"
A horse is coming at a fast speed.
Li Chenan turned around and looked with a smile on his face.
"Just wait for me for a while and I'll be back as soon as I can."
Li Chenan turned around and left, and the horse and that man stopped by the official road a little far away.
Li Chenan walked over, and the man got off his horse and bowed his hands. He was once a scout in the Tai'an army in Ji An's hands.
His name is Zheng Qiang.
He was captured by Li Chenan in the battle of Shuangjiao Mountain and then surrendered.
He is now in the Military Intelligence Branch of the Imperial City Division.
"The villain has seen the regent!"
"Where is the Wangzheng Golden Bell?"
"Master Wang Zheng is leading the three hundred and one brothers to take the ape path and take the mountain road. They should have arrived at Lizhou City!"
He took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands: "Master Wang Zheng ordered me to send it to the Prince Regent. Please see it."
Li Chenan took the letter, opened it, and laughed.
He also took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zheng Qiang:
"Leave it to Wang Zheng Jinzhong and tell him not to alert others... See you in Xishan!"
The villain obeys!
Zheng Qiang resigned, got on his horse, and headed towards Lizhou City.
Li Chenan took the fire fold and lit the paper, watching the ashes floating in the wind. After a while, he turned around and walked towards Xiao Baozi.
"It's time for us to set off."
"Then why wait these three days?"
“You can do a lot in three days.”
"...What have you done?"
Li Chenan smiled slightly, took Xiao Baozi's hand, and said without answering, "How can I control your bird?"
"It's very simple, I'll teach you."
Xiao Baozi whistled, and not long after, the bird landed from the sky on Xiao Baozi's shoulder.
"Beauty, listen, he is also your master. From now on, when you hear his voice, you must go to him!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill you and stew you to eat!"
The beautiful bird's head looked at Li Chen'an, with a look of contempt in its eyes. After a moment, it spread its wings and flew away.
"that's all?"
"Yeah, if you don't believe me, try it."
Li Chenan was very curious, so he also whistled. Sure enough, the bird that had not flown far flew back, circled twice and reluctantly landed on Li Chenan's shoulder.
Li Chenan laughed, "Let's go!"
The team breaks camp.
This time the pace was faster.
…
…
There is also an open meadow not far from Lizhou City.
There is an octagonal pavilion on the meadow.
Its name is Liting.
It is not on the official road, but at the foot of the mountain and on the slope of the meadow.
It's a little far from the official road, so few people go there, so it seems extremely quiet.
In this quiet pavilion, two people were sitting at the moment.
One of them is a woman in white.
She put one hand on the six-stringed harp on the table, but did not play with it. She tilted her head and stared blankly at the official road.
There were many business travelers coming and going on the official road, but they were not what she wanted to see.
Opposite her sat a handsome man.
The man looked at her side face, the expression on his face was uncertain, just like the uncertain weather.
The woman watched for a long time, and suddenly there was a gust of cool wind, carrying moist water vapor. Then she took a deep breath and raised her eyes to look at the sky:
"Second Senior Brother, it's going to rain."
She is Xia Hua, the younger junior sister of Tianshan Seven Swords.
The man opposite her was, of course, second senior brother Yu Xiao Jian Lin Zifeng.
"Then...is it time for junior sister to enter the city and return to the inn?"
Xia Hua pondered for a moment, "Wait a little longer."
"...I've been waiting for three days, so maybe Li Chenan will go back home."
Xia Hua raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Zifeng, "I'm not waiting for Li Chenan!"
Lin Zifeng was stunned, "Then what are you waiting for?"
Xia Hua turned to look at the official road again, and suddenly smiled, but there was a bit of loss and embarrassment in the smile.
"Wait for a rain."
"...Little Junior Sister, Second Senior Brother discovered that after you arrived in Jiangnan, you began to become more artistic than before."
Xia Hua was startled and then heard Lin Zifeng say helplessly:
"We have been waiting here in Liting for three days!"
"On the first day, you said you were waiting for a beautiful rainbow."
"The next day, you said you were waiting for the sunset."
"Today, you have to wait for another rain."
"Little junior sister..."
Lin Zifeng leaned over and said seriously: "When we were on Tianshan Mountain, you never waited."
"We are all waiting for you!"
"Second senior brother actually knows what you are waiting for, little junior sister, he is the regent of Ning country!"
"You have seen it. There is Miss Xiao beside him... They have been riding the donkey together, and there is no room for a third person on the donkey's back!"
"In addition, there is Zhongli Ruoshui waiting for him in Chongqing Mansion!"
"Of course, with your appearance and talents, little junior sister, you are even better than the two of them...but is he worthy?!"
"Can you wake up?"
"We came down the mountain to kill him?"
"This... if I didn't kill someone, I got you in... How will we explain to the master after we return to the mountain?"
Xia Hua's face flushed slightly. She glanced at Lin Zifeng and raised her slender neck: "Don't think nonsense! It's nothing!"
Lin Zifeng smiled bitterly: "Do you think the second senior brother is blind?"
"This, your thoughts, even a blind man can see it!"
Xia Hua closed her mouth and lowered her head, "But he, but he didn't come after me!"
"That's because he's blind! That's because he doesn't have that kind of blessing! This means you don't have that kind of fate either... Let's just kill him, okay?"
The rain fell in a steady patter.
It fell on the pavilion and made a rustling sound.
Xia Hua turned her head and looked into the distance again. The wilderness was already a scene of mist and rain.
It really rained.
But I didn’t wait for you.
"Let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Go back to Yuelai Inn!"
