After the third watch, Lu Qing felt very tired and fell asleep when he returned to bed.
Yunluo went back to grandma Ruan's tomb and stood on the side of the firefly to drive away the mosquitoes flying around for her.
Until dawn, Liuying didn't stand up. Her legs were numb and nearly fell down.
However, there was a cloud falling beside her, and she wouldn't fall. The cloud fell and held her.
As soon as the firefly was about to struggle, he was held in his arms by the cloud.
"Cry if you want. I'm your father. You can do anything in front of me. Although I don't know how to be a father, at least it's OK to accompany you."
Saying these words, in fact, Yunluo is also a little awkward. However, watching Liuying kneel here in the middle of the night, he can't cry. He is heartbroken for no reason.
Holding the firefly for a while, I heard a low sob.
Summer clothes are light and thin. When the clouds fall, I only feel a wet feeling on my stomach, with some warm and burning people.
Yunluo raised her hand several times, and finally fell on the Liuying's head. She gently stroked her hair and let her vent her sadness heartily.
So they stood in the faint morning light and were covered with dew.
At this time, outside the Dashan pass, two figures were wandering in front of the door on horseback.
They were all covered with dew. Their horses were dying. Before the gate was opened, they let their horses eat grass on the roadside, while they each found a stone to sit down and began to drink water and eat dry food.
When he had enough to eat and drink, he saw one of them stand up, take another water bag and a clean cloth towel on his horse, pour the water up and give it to the man sitting on the stone.
"Governor, wipe your face."
The water drops slipped from the cloth towel and flowed down into the neck and into the collar along a white jade face.
Just on this perfect white jade, a pair of beautiful eyes are full of blood.
"Cangya, are we already late?"
Looking at the tall dashangguan in front of him, Zhang Dan wiped his face with a cloth towel. He hasn't slept for two days.
"There is no news from there. This is good news. It should be in time."
Another cloth towel was wet, and Chen cangya wiped his face. At present, he was also black, and he slept less than Zhang Dan.
A few days ago, they had arrived in Yizhou and were traveling around Chengguo to prepare for their future plans. As a result, they received news from Longxi.
Lu Qing was robbed by Liu Yao.
It was unexpected.
"I despise yumingchuan so much that I thought he could keep Lu Qing. Unexpectedly, he made such a mistake before he reached shile's territory. He should keep Lu Qing around all the time and regard her as a treasure, not a tool for his revenge."
Listening to this, Chen cangya was silent for a moment, and then looked up at Zhang Dan.
"Governor, Lu Qing also has some skills. She shouldn't be so easy to be hurt. She has done a lot since she came out of Qilian Mountain. The Buddha head mountain..."
"Cangya, just because she has too much ability, she should be hidden, not exposed to people, so she will only be more dangerous. I shouldn't have let her out at the beginning, but should take her to ningzhou and show her ability safely and carefree."
Zhang Dan raised his head and continued to stare at dashangguan. His eyes seemed to have crossed the pass, looked at Guanzhong and saw Chang'an city.
Chen cangya no longer spoke, but shook his head imperceptibly.
When Zhang Dan had gone to ningzhou, he also spent some time in Longxi and saw a lot of Lu Qing's skills. To tell the truth, he admired the little woman very much.
She is a fire in this troubled world, or sky fire, which seems destined to burn all ugliness to ashes. After the dust settles, the most lush shade will grow on the ruins.
Like Longxi now.
Such a person is suitable for burning in troubled times, rather than flashing her glimmer in a stable and carefree place, as Zhang Dan said.
That will only extinguish her light and break her wings.
It's just that Zhang Dan likes her too much and is too persistent to see this.
When he was in wanjian City, Zhang Dan once told Yu Mingchuan that Lu Qing was like a towering tree, not a dodder flower. At that time, he thought whether Zhang Dan overestimated this woman.
Now it seems that Zhang Dan did not overestimate, but looked away.
She is not the Xiumu he plans to plant in the garden, but a phoenix that should fly in this dirty and troubled world.
Perhaps yumingchuan understood this and let her soar on his side.
It is also because of this that Lu Qing is so affectionate with Yu Mingchuan, and even more and more repels Zhang Dan.
This may be just an accident. Chen cangya even felt that Zhang Dan shouldn't have come. With the affection between Yu Mingchuan and Lu Qing, Zhang Dan couldn't benefit whether Zhang Dan saved Lu Qing or not.
Sometimes, Chen cangya even hopes that Lu Qing will die, so that Yu Mingchuan will go crazy. With his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to beat Liu Yao, and then fight with shile to kill him. Instead, they have a greater chance.
But Zhang Dan still came.
From Yizhou to Guanzhong, they didn't sleep much for five days.
More than a dozen horses died before they arrived at dashangguan.
"Governor, when you get to the pass today, you'd better rest for half a day before you go."
"No, Lu Qing hasn't heard from her all the time. She is either detained by Liu Yao or can't move because of her serious injury. Yumingchuan hasn't rescued her yet. If she delays for another moment, she will be more dangerous."
"But the cloud fall should have passed. He spent two years in the palace of Chang'an. Maybe he has found Lu Qing?"
"These are all guesses. I don't know until I see her. I'd better start as soon as possible."
When the first ray of sunshine hit dashangguan, the city gate opened, and Zhang Dan and Chen cangya led their horses into Guanzhong.
In Weiyang palace, as soon as the early Dynasty was over, Liu Yao went to the back hall. Seeing that the wine prepared every day was actually less than in the past, he heard from the palace maid that even wine merchants have been driven to farm now and can't buy wine.
After Liu Yao finished drinking the wine, he grabbed the palace maid, tore off her dress, and pressed it under him at the edge of a step.
After searching for two days, no trace of Lu Qing was found at all. Even none of the people who rescued her were caught.
This made Liu Yao very angry. In addition, he learned that Liangzhou had frequent contacts with Longxi recently. I heard that 30000 troops had been sent to the border between Longxi and Liangzhou to face Guanzhong.
What this means is already obvious.
Liangzhou has officially allied with wanjian city.
In other words, yumingchuan didn't come to Guanzhong at all, but took the opportunity to form an alliance with Liangzhou?
