I was tricked by the black lotus [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 37

Shen Zi'an froze for a moment: "Ah, there are only two horses."

"Shen Qingshu and I will ride together." Wen Xueer reacted faster.

Shen Zi'an gave her a meaningful look: "It's natural, could someone let me ride a horse with you?"

"Okay, Shen Zi'an." Shen Qingshu frowned slightly, "Don't just flirt with people."

"Push?" Shen Zi'an tilted his head, as if he didn't understand the meaning, and smiled after a while, "Only the one next to you, I don't know how to 'push'."

Shen Qingshu jumped on the horse neatly: "Stop pretending. By the way, I have no money."

"It's as if you paid for it." Shen Zi landed another horse.

Wen Xueer laughed lightly when she heard the words, and then stretched out her hand to Shen Qingshu: "Pull me."

"Hold this, hold this and you can get on." Shen Qingshu pointed to the saddle expressionlessly.

"Pull me." Wen Xueer softened her tone.

There was a flash of tenderness in Shen Qingshu's eyes, but it returned to normal after a while, and she stretched out her hand to help Wen Xueer onto the horse with a neutral attitude.

Wen Xueer didn't hide her intentions, and gently leaned into Shen Qingshu's arms: "I changed to a new face powder today."

Without Wen Xue'er's reminder, Shen Qingshu had already smelled the softness and sweetness on her body, which was as quiet as veil.It's just that Shen Qingshuyu pretended not to be so enthusiastic and nodded: "I noticed it."

Wen Xueer was not discouraged, she simply pushed back slightly, and then leaned on Shen Qingshu.

Wen Xueer couldn't see Shen Qingshu's expression, but heard her slightly uncomfortable voice: "You're... hindering me from pulling the horse rope."

"I see you're pulling it off quite easily."

"..."

While cutting the roasted leg of lamb with a knife, Shen Zi'an said to Shen Qingshu: "Brother is going to lead the troops out."

"That's why I have to pay more attention to you."

"Don't be nervous, isn't my determination to eat, drink and have fun not obvious enough?"

"There is no silver 300 taels here."

Shen Zi'an smiled: "I joined King Duan's sect just to find a shortcut to gain power. Now that King Duan is gone, it is inevitable that King Jin will take care of him. I have no reason to go into troubled waters."

After Shen Zi'an finished speaking, he looked at Wen Xue'er: "Why are you looking at me with such eyes?"

"You are a little different from my impression."

Shen Zi'an said meaningfully: "You too. I always thought it was my sister who was fond of you, but I didn't expect you to..."

Before Shen Zi'an finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly became awkward, Shen Qingshu coughed lightly: "Have you cut the leg of lamb yet?"

"Okay, okay, what are you hungry for?"

Shen Qingshu changed the subject: "Do you know how to get to the temple here?"

Shen Zi'an thought for a while: "Pray for elder brother?"

"Well, please rest assured."

"No need, big brother has been on the battlefield for several years."

"I dance very hard here, and I always feel that something is going to happen." Shen Qingshu rubbed his heart.

Subconsciously, Wen Xueer wanted to reach out to help her rub, but worried about Shen Zi'an's presence, her hanging hand froze and finally patted lightly: "Then shall we go back?"

Shen Qingshu shook his head: "I must pray for Shen Qingyue."

Shen Zi'an had no choice but to look at the sky: "Eat first, there is still time after eating."

The mellow lyrics and the graceful dancers in the tavern can easily make people lose their minds.After a few cups down his throat, Shen Qingshu was already slightly tipsy, and his eyes kept lingering in such a decadent scene.

But Wen Xueer always looked at her.Although I felt jealous in my heart, I didn't know where to stand to be jealous for a while, so I could only drink sullenly.

After pondering for a while, Wen Xueer said, "If you drink it again, you won't be able to walk to the temple later."

Shen Zi'an chimed in: "The temple has very long steps."

"Why are you holding me so tightly?" Shen Qingshu looked at Wen Xue'er, his eyes were unclear.

"You have a premonition that something will happen, maybe it's because of drinking that you threw someone down." Wen Xueer's tone was very natural.

"You're getting better at talking nonsense."

"It's no wonder you see more."

When they saw the blue-gray palace ridge looming among the towering ancient cypresses, all three of them felt exhausted.

"Sister, the steps of these two Qinglu Temples are not so long together." Shen Zi'an frowned.

"Then take a break, and get rid of the alcohol by the way." Shen Qingshu blinked his eyes several times before his eyelids stopped twitching.

"How are you?" Shen Qingshu couldn't help asking Wen Xueer, always remembering that she became much weaker after leaving the capital.

Wen Xueer just waved her hands, and seemed to have no strength to speak anymore.

"Shen Zi'an, you stay here with her, I'll go up."

"But I will feel more at ease if I follow you." Wen Xue'er recovered.

Shen Qingshu was slightly stunned, but then told Shen Zi'an again: "She is not in good health, she can't continue, just watch her."

"Shen—"

Shen Zi'an reached out to stop Wen Xue'er: "Listen to her, or I'll throw you down."

Looking at Shen Qingshu's figure, Wen Xueer's brows were full of worry: "Didn't she have an ominous premonition? How dare you let her go up there alone."

Shen Zi'an's expression turned serious: "Actually, I'm not worried, but I don't think it has anything to do with the temple, it has something to do with this place." He looked around.

"There is a feud in the capital, but it's not enough to chase here?"

"Let's see."

It was only when Shen Qingshu entered the place surrounded by cigarette smoke that he felt a little relieved.

Although praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is just a superficial form, it would be good if he could seek some peace for Shen Qingyue.After all, she had recommended King Jin to him before, if something happened to her during this trip, she would have no peace in her life.

It wasn't until his knees started to ache that Shen Qingshu slowly got up.

However, she only walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on a monk sitting on a futon.

She recognized it, and pointed out that Yaozhu was Longsang's monk on the streets of the capital that day.It turned out that he had already returned to the Western Territory.

As if being guided by something, Shen Qingshu walked in front of him unconsciously.But he didn't say anything to disturb him, he just waited quietly.

The monk slowly opened his eyes when she watched a piece of incense on the table burn out.

He looked kindly: "The poor monk and the benefactor are predestined people."

Shen Qingshu smiled slightly: "Do you have any advice?"

"And cherish the people around you."

Shen Qingshu suddenly thought of Wen Xueer, and his heart moved.

Did you forgive her?In fact, never hated, how can we talk about forgiveness.

"I'll listen to it."

The monk closed his eyes again, Shen Qingshu thought he was going to meditate, nodded slightly and wanted to leave.

"There is a disaster." The monk suddenly said.

"Me?" Shen Qingshu pointed to himself hesitantly.

The monk stared at her without speaking.

Shen Qingshu suddenly remembered something, regardless of the soreness in his knees, he ran towards the bottom of the temple.

Don't let anything happen to you.

It wasn't until seeing those two familiar figures that Shen Qingshu's hanging heart finally let go.

"I always feel that someone is watching us." Shen Zi'an frowned and said to Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu didn't think that Shen Zi'an was supercilious, after all he was still Yunlai.Her first reaction was to grab Wen Xueer's wrist, and then signaled Shen Zi'an to follow: "Go back immediately."

They kept walking towards the place where the crowd was noisy, and they finally reached the border until the dusk came around.

"Sister, stop," Shen Zi'an paused, then looked around cautiously, "There is a situation."

Shen Qingshu hid Wen Xueer behind him, his eyes became vigilant.Caught off guard, when a icy silver light appeared in the corner of her eye, she immediately realized that there was a cold arrow pointing at her, but Shen Zi'an pushed it away heavily the next moment: "Get out!"

This fall made Shen Qingshu's eyes dazzled, and before she could stand up, she heard Wen Xueer's scream: "Shen Zi'an!"

Shen Qingshu may not forget the scene in front of him for a long time - Shen Zi'an has an arrow in his chest, and the gushing blood has stained his clothes red.

Shen Qingshu panicked for a moment, then quickly caught him: "It's very close to the barracks, hold on."

After she finished speaking, she froze for a moment, Shen Zi'an's expression was filled with relief.

"How do you take me back? Are you dragging?" Shen Zi'an's voice was weak, but his words were coherent, "Listen to me."

"Shen Zi'an, stop talking."

"Listen to me!" Shen Zi'an's heart skipped a beat.

"Okay." Shen Qingshu groped his body a few times, and finally covered up the bleeding.

"This ending is better than I imagined. I don't want to go back to the capital as a royal party and be liquidated. I will either be imprisoned or...exiled," Shen Zi'an finally felt exhausted. Just die, remember to tell your parents when you go back, I didn’t lose my life because I joined the army.”

Shen Zi'an slowed down: "Also, haven't you been wanting to see various rivers and mountains? It will cost money. I run the Yunlai Gambling Shop and have saved a lot of money. Remember to put the banknotes under the grid of the bed in my room. Take them all out. Don’t give them to your parents, don’t let them know about Yunlai Casino.”

"Shen Zi'an, listen, my brother and I will not expose you as Yunlai's affair, you—"

"Do you think King Duan won't drag me into the water? He can't wait to drag everyone down to be buried with him."

Shen Qingshu only felt the soreness in his eyes: "It was me! It was I who told King Jin about Yunlai Casino and King Duan, it was me..."

"I said that even if no one finds out, King Duan will confess me. He can't see that he is the only one who suffers. It's funny to say that I am obviously Yun Lai, but I played the role of innocent Shen Zi'an for so long until I came here. In the military camp, I feel that I am so real."

"Yunlai, Yunlai, I will beg King Jin to spare you, please hold on, if I can't take you back properly today, I can't explain to Shen Qingyue."

"I don't want to go back to the capital like a... bereaved dog..."

Shen Qingshu kept holding him tightly, but found that his body was slowly slumping, and finally he couldn't even support him.

Wen Xue'er stretched out her trembling hand, sniffed his breath, and was speechless for a while.

"say."

"Gone."

Shen Qingshu stood up staggeringly and scanned his surroundings, but found that apart from the cold wind, there was no sound to be heard.

Her eyes dimmed little by little.

The "disaster" that the monk said was not Shen Qingyue's or Wen Xue'er's disaster, but her own. She clearly saw that the arrow was clearly aimed at her, and Shen Zi'an blocked the disaster for her.

The phrase "cherish the people around me" is not only about her love for Wen Xueer.

Shen Qingshu lay limp on the ground, shuddered by the biting cold wind.

It's so cold today.

Even she still doesn't know what kind of feelings she has for this younger brother. She obviously used each other before, but now she only thinks he is pitiful and hateful.Obviously his ability is not weak, but because his father and brother are too bright, he was impatient for a while, sober and voluntarily fell into the wrong path.

Although Wen Xueer was frightened, she was a little calmer than Shen Qingshu. She hastily wiped away the blood on Shen Qingshu's hands with her sleeve: "Take him back first. The enemy is dark and we are clear. We can't freeze here."

On the hill in the distance, a figure holding a bow froze.

Shayue was stunned for a long time before she realized what had happened. "I...I killed the wrong person." The bow and arrow fell to the ground, and she buried her face in her hands, crying uncontrollably.

Shen Qingyue was silent for a long time after seeing the corpse, his eyes were bloodshot, but he never shed a single tear.

"Brother, I'm sorry..." Shen Qingshu stood aside, just repeating these words.

"Northwest Army General Shen Zi'an died on duty," Shen Qingyue said slowly, "This news will be sent back to the capital immediately."

Shen Qingshu clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh: "Go and see Hexi."

Shen Qingyue stroked the washed arrow: "It's the most common arrow in the western region, but if you suspect Hexi, I'll go there."

"Sister," Shen Qingyue turned to comfort her before leaving, "I've long since discovered that Shen Zi'an's heart is broken, and he has no hope for the future. Except for the murderer, no one should say sorry this time."

Shen Qingshu only felt that his brain and eyelids were heavy, so he nodded indiscriminately.

Shen Qingshu didn't know how Wen Xueer took him back to the account, how he changed his clothes and went to bed.I only remember that Wen Xue'er was buried in the crescent of her neck and whispered her name over and over again.

This time she didn't push away.

Shen Qingshu finally fell into a deep sleep, Wen Xueer put on a white fur fur on tiptoe, and braved the cold wind to look for Shen Qingyue.

"I've thought about it, if it was really done by Hexi's people, it can only be Sayue, but Sayue," Shen Qingyue said hesitantly, "She fell from the hill and her leg was seriously injured. It probably took a long time. You can’t even walk, how can you kill someone—could it be a hunter who killed him by mistake?”

"Yes, the hunter killed by mistake," Wen Xueer frowned, "It's better to kill by mistake than let Shen Qingshu think that he came to kill her."

Shen Qingyue looked at her with a softer look: "Wen Xueer, it's hard to take care of her these days."

"I'll always take care of her."
