Chapter 348

When the others heard his laughter, they couldn't help being infected, and couldn't help but follow along.

Xie Yuan glanced at them, curled his lips, then threw the cloth towel in his hand to Erdan Xiao, turned around and left the training ground to take a shower.

She doesn't care about other people's gossip now, she only cares about when she can go back to the barracks and do something serious.

Could it be that the whole life will be exhausted in such waiting?
……

……

On the sixth day of February, Huanshan City.

Huanshan City is a small city surrounded by mountains.

There is only one city gate, backed by a steep mountain.Except for those who go up the mountain to collect herbs, few people can climb up the mountain.

Therefore, people who come from south to north must enter through that city gate and exit through that city gate.

Shen Liuzhen was sitting in an inn closest to the gate of the city, drinking hot tea by the window.The window was opened a small slit, just enough to see the pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate.

There was a stove burning next to the table, and the flame inside the stove was burning brightly, licking the teapot on it, steaming.

A gust of cold wind blew in through the cracks in the window, and the fan blades of the window shook, dissipating a lot of the heat in the room.

Shen Liuzhen closed his eyes for a moment, tilted his head and endured it, but in the end he couldn't hold it back, and coughed twice more.

Liu Qinbing really spoke up, and said worriedly:

"You'd better go and stay inside, I'll watch for you if anyone is coming."

Shen Liuzhen's cough has improved a lot, but occasionally he still can't help coughing twice, as if coughing has become a habit because of too long time, it's hard to control.

So he consciously endured it, trying to correct this problem, so as not to listen to brother Liu's nagging.

He removed the veil covering his mouth, his eyes were still looking out through the crack of the window, but he sighed and said:

"A Yuan probably won't come. She is diligent and impatient. If she wants to come, she will definitely come earlier. It is impossible to delay until now... This day is almost over."

Liu Qinbing took down the boiling teapot, refilled him with hot water, and said angrily:
"You know you've been waiting, close the windows and rest, if you get sick a few times, will you still be alive?"

Shen Liuzhen turned his head to look at him, smiled sweetly, revealing the dimples on his face, and said:

"I'm young, how can I die so easily?"

"Heh." Liu Qinbing didn't give him any face, and taunted him, "Young people are different from young people. I believe you said that Xie Yuan would not die from an illness, but you...hehe..."

Shen Liuzhen couldn't laugh anymore, he pursed his lips in embarrassment, then moved his gaze out of the window, and said regretfully and unwillingly:

"Why didn't you say A Yuan came?"

After tidying up, Liu Qinbing sat across from Shen Liuzhen, and asked curiously, "Then why must she come?"

"I sent my chess piece to the hands of the Emperor of Song. There is no reason for him not to use it. Whether it is used positively, reversely used, or discarded for playing, he should have some reaction." Shen Liuzhen murmured.

Liu Qinbing stared blankly at Shen Liuzhen, but didn't respond for a long time. After a while, he said:
"I don't understand, tell me something I can understand."

The two of them have been in Huanshan City for two days, and today is the second day.

The days of waiting for someone are the hardest.It's inconvenient for the two of them to move around, so it would be so boring to just stay in the room and stare at the city gate.

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuzhen put his hands on the table helplessly, and asked in a gentle voice:
"Then you change the question."

Liu Qinbing thought for a while and asked, "Why is it the sixth day of every month?"

Shen Liuzhen laughed when he heard this, and there was some sly joy in his smile, and said: "You forgot, A Yuan's birthday is on the sixth day of the lunar new year, if she can come to see me once a month, Then on her birthday, I'll prepare something to make her happy."

Liu Qinbing showed a look of sudden contempt, leaned back, and said:
"Oh... I thought you were doing this for official business, and you dared to do it for a private meeting? Isn't this trick a bit big?"

"Hey~" Shen Liuzhen tilted his head, and said pretending to be serious, "It's just by the way, and there is no delay in business or private matters."

Then, he moved his gaze to the outside of the window.

Although he knew that A Yuan might not appear, he still couldn't help but look forward to an unexpected result.

Liu Qinbing looked at Shen Liuzhen's appearance, laughed at him, and said, "Do you think I believe it? You just said at that time that you did so much to pave the way for her to become a general in the Northern Wei Dynasty."

He paused, pointed to Shen Liuzhen's nose and said, "You're too confident, you've played so fancy, don't turn around and let your own fancy intestines wrap you around to death."

Shen Liuzhen didn't look at him, and comforted him perfunctorily, "It's all incidental, incidental..."

Liu Qinbing gave him a blank look, knowing that he couldn't intervene or persuade him about these matters.

He also turned his gaze out of the window, but from his angle, he could only see a section of the city wall.

He took a sip of tea and asked:
"I don't remember that you have been to Huanshan City. How did you know that there is only one gate here, and there is such an inn where you can watch people?"

Holding the tea bowl in his hand, Shen Liuzhen said, "I heard it. The last time the North and the South fought, one of the battlefields was Huanshan City. At that time, we were in Lord Mu He's camp, and I heard those people talk about the terrain here.

Another one, we stayed at the magistrate's mansion for two days in order to avoid being assassinated. Didn't we listen to him talk a lot about what he saw and heard, and the food style?
He once talked about his own experience, in this inn, he witnessed a bandit riot at the gate of the city. "

When Liu Qinbing heard this, he raised his eyes and thought for a while, then patted his forehead clearly, and said:

"Yes, yes, yes... I remember when you said that, it seems to have been said... I just remember that he said that the robbers who bought were from the two hills in front of Huanshan City, a gang called what eyebrows."

"Shouxing eyebrows." Shen Liuzhen answered with hooked lips.

"Oh, that's right, that's right... This name is so fucking strange. Good guy, you remember it very clearly, and you can use all of this." Liu Qinbing couldn't help but gave Shen Liuzhen a thumbs up.

"As the saying goes, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. What are the flowers and plants on the road to see? ..."

When Shen Liuzhen said this, he suddenly stopped talking, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Liu Qinbing thought he saw something, so he quickly stood up and walked over to him, followed his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?!"

Shen Liuzhen sighed in disappointment, drooping his brows and eyes, and said, "It's nothing, the city gate is about to be closed, and A Yuan really won't come."
