I promise

Chapter 936

Guo taught Mu Zijin what he said.

Huo An went to Wuyuan to bid farewell the next day.

At that time, Mu Dianke had just put Xiao Juyan to sleep, when he looked up and saw Mu Chenguang standing outside the threshold, Huo An, he gave the child to Xiaoye, and taught him to carry him back to sleep.

Greeting with a smile, "Huo An is here? Come in and sit."

Huo An entered the door as he said, and when he crossed the boundary between light and dark in the main room, his figure seemed to stagnate for a moment, because his gait was too heavy.

We have known each other for many years, and he has hardly changed, no matter his appearance, figure, or his attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing when he is silent.

Like when she first met him.

At that time, she was passing by from a distance, and saw the bishop's nephew secretly tripping Huo An, causing him to miss during training and seriously injuring his companion.The bishop naturally saw it too, but chose to cover up his nephew and punished Huo An.

The forbearing young man stood with his back uncovered under the scorching sun, let the thorn stick fall to nail his flesh, he gritted his teeth without saying a word, without making any distinctions, with a very firm light in his eyes.

It was that light that attracted her.

She stunned all eyes and lifted Huo An, who was unknown at that time, from the Dizi Palace, and supported him all the way until he was promoted to the third lord.

When Wang Shusheng rebelled in Chuzhou, Zhai Qing chose to side with Wang Shusheng, the reason was that she favored Huo An, and if Huo An was with him, he would only be a second-ranking ruler in the end.

This resentment is also true.

She later understood the firmness in Huo An's eyes more and more - he knew what he wanted, and if he endured it, he could endure everything.Don't feel sad or happy because of honor or disgrace, don't judge Yi Zhi with praise - so I appreciate him more and more.

It's a pity that there is no banquet in the world.

The former comrades-in-arms will part ways one day because of their own desires.

On the food table in front of him was a basket of frost-dyed persimmons, which were crystal clear and red like fire, and were picked by Sun Yi from a small forest early in the morning.

She was too busy teasing Ju Yan to have time to eat.

So he took one to Huo An.

"The 'Huojing Persimmon' unique to Xinfeng County in Chang'an." Mu Dian said ridiculously, "It has no threads and no seeds, it is plump and juicy, and it is very refreshing. It is also strange that the climate difference between Luoyang and Chang'an is not too far, the soil is the same, and it is easy to transplant. After coming here, the taste is not as good. But it is still much better than ordinary persimmons."

Huo An looked down at the tomato in his hand, it was as red as fire and as bright as crystal, which was really unusual.

It is more touching than the basket of persimmons with the same branches and origins on the desk.

"I'm here to bid farewell to the girl." Huo An said, "I met the young master before I came, and the young master agreed. Let's go today."

So hasty.It can be seen that there is an urgency to go.

"I've heard from my second brother." Mu Dianke said with a forced smile on his lips, "Are you going to continue working in Ming Palace—have you met Xu Younan?"

Huo An did not deny it.That's what she said.

Ming Palace is a place that is easy to enter and difficult to exit, especially since Huo An has been promoted to the sixth seat, talents are rare, there is no reason to let him go easily.

It was only because Jin Yanchen acquiesced to her taking away Huo An and Mei Longxue back then, so no one pursued it.

But it didn't stop Xu Younan from having a heart.He doesn't use the rules of the palace to force him to stay, but he can persuade people to stay voluntarily.Even if the heart is as firm as Huo An.

"What did this old fellow tell you?" Mu Dianke raised his eyebrows.

Huo An obviously didn't want to say, "Don't worry, girl, my subordinates won't do anything like betray their family and country or harm their fellow clan."

He paused, "...go from the heart and do things for yourself. Do something, and don't do something."

From the heart, it means that there is an unfulfilled wish, an unfulfilled ambition, forcing him to stay here will only bind his hands and feet
Mu Dian could think that he was not as good at monitoring people's hearts as Xu Younan after all.

The reason why Xu Younan can become a genius lobbyist is that he can always accurately grasp the other party's mind, know what they want and want, and with a little incitement, they can conquer everything.

I have fought side by side with Huo An for many years, but I never know what he really wants.

"Have you figured it out yet?" she asked again.

Huo An nodded, and his tone was firm, "Thought it out."

Mu Dian didn't want to keep him.

As Mu Ziyan said, the world is vast and men are at ease.No matter how good Changjiabao is, it is not Huo An's nostalgia, let him go to the rivers and lakes to race horses, and the game of wind and rain will be fulfilled.

"I think the weather is pretty good today. If you're not in a hurry, accompany me to the grove to hunt persimmons." She said with a smile, "Just take some to eat on the way."

The grove is not far from Wuyuan, and it is a hill full of fruit trees: peaches, plums, apricots, loquats, mulberries... everything you expect to find.

There is a small piece of persimmon tree, and there are three trees that are slightly different from the others. They are the Huojing persimmons that Mu Dianke said were transplanted from Xinfeng.Grows in the southwest corner.

Autumn and winter come and the vegetation withers, and the brown branches are hung with red lanterns.

Huo An was a good persimmon hunter. He tied a hook to the bamboo pole and covered the ground with soft grass. When the long pole was drawn along the dead branch, the round persimmons rolled down like red rain.

Mu Dian could stand under the tree and look up.

The autumn sun was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and poured down through the gaps in the bare branches, illuminating the red persimmons more brightly, and making her face as red as a persimmon.

Both the smiling face and the persimmon are moving, and it is the cold demeanor that is only available after frost.

"It's broken." Mu Dianke reminded, "This branch is thin, so you will avoid it. Your hands are too heavy."

She had long been eager to try, and took this opportunity to snatch the bamboo pole from Huo An's hand and fight it herself.With sharp eyes and quick hands, he spotted a fruit stalk on a branch, swiped his wrong hand, and hooked it—after all, he was a good hand with a sword.

Huo An carried the basket to pick up persimmons that had fallen into the soft grass. Seeing her enjoying herself, he reminded with a smile, "A few persimmons should be left on a tree for the wintering birds to eat."

"Is there such a thing?" Mu Dian was quite surprised, thinking about it, "It's true, once the heavy snow is buried, it will be difficult for the birds left over the winter to find food."

Yin smiled, "I can't see that you are so careful."

"It was taught by my father when I was young." Huo An said, "Every autumn and winter, my father would tell us to keep a few. In the year of debt, the fruit trees will not bear fruit, and some millet will be scattered on the snow. Father said that the best way to live in birds Long love."

"Then your father is a kind-hearted man." Mu Dian could hear him say the word "resident bird" in a different tone. He just pretended not to hear it, and then swept down a piece of persimmon, and said with a smile, "I'm one of them. I didn’t want to keep it, so I moved home and stocked it up, and kept it for me to eat while warming up over the winter.”

Having said that, Kazuki still left about a dozen of them, with stars hanging on the branches and lined with tiles and blue sky, there is a kind of beauty of cleanliness.

Mu Dian was used to being taken care of during the confinement period, so he was a little lazy, he refused to move after he even hit a few trees of persimmons, and sat on the soft grass to watch Huo An pick them up by himself.

"In the past, I seldom heard you talk about family affairs."

She picked a persimmon with thin and translucent skin, wiped it with her sleeve, as if she had returned to the old days of drinking horses in the river and sleeping in the open, she didn't care much, so she sat on the ground and ate.

"Only one time, you were seriously injured, and there was no water to drink in the desert. I don't know if you are still awake. You said that you wanted to eat the persimmons grown in front of your house, and that you had a younger sister who used to take her up the tree when you were young. Pick persimmons."

Huo An's face was really surprised.

"Unexpectedly, the girl still remembers." He said.

"It's rare for a person who doesn't talk much to talk to others, like a clam spitting pearls, what he talks about is the most precious thing in his heart." Mu Dianke said, "It should be remembered."

Changle Palace is a place where fish and dragons are mixed together, and it takes in people who are down and out from all over the world, some are wicked, and some are miserable.

I don't know if the persimmon tree in front of the house that Huo An mentioned is still there, or if his sister is still there.

Most likely... is it gone?

Mu Dianke threw another persimmon to Huo An, "Sit down and have a rest, there is no rush."

Huo An seldom sat in front of Mu Dianke, unless he was too tired, or as Mu Dianke said, he was too injured to support him.

Usually he is always respectful and stands upright.Even after entering Luoyang, Mu Dian was no longer a saint, and this habit could not be changed.

Mu Dian could only say, "Sit down."

Xu is parting soon, no longer restrained as before, Huo An sat down this time.After being silent for a while, he also picked up the persimmon thrown to him by Mu Dianke and ate it. It was sweet and oozy, and tasted better than ordinary persimmons.

"If I remember correctly, you should be one year older than me. Are you 22 this year?" After eating the persimmons, Mu Dianke took out a cotton handkerchief to wipe his mouth and fingers, "You and my second brother are friends, love each other. Like a brother. Why don't you and I form a brother and sister with different surnames, how about recognizing you as your elder brother?"

Huoan persimmons were half eaten, and the slurry splashed on the clothes, and almost immediately bounced up, "Subordinates dare not."

He has always called himself a subordinate for ten thousand years, and he will not change it no matter how many times he says it.

Mu Dian was quite helpless, "You saved my life, so why dare you?"

Seriously said, "Since entering Luoyang, I don't regard you and Ah Xue as subordinates, but as friends and relatives. You are like this, but it seems that you are born."

"The girl is generous, but the subordinates can't overstep." Huo An was neither humble nor overbearing, "it's his job to protect the master. It's a great kindness for the girl to know the situation and be kind to the subordinates, and it's even better than the kindness of saving lives."

Huo An has a very stable temperament, he has always been calm, but this time he surprised her.

It seems that this brother and sister can't get married.

After wiping his hands carefully, Mu Dianke put the handkerchief back into his sleeve, and took out a rectangular obsidian engraved with talisman seals.

"It's used to ward off evil spirits." She said and handed it over, "Walking on rivers and lakes is always dangerous. I don't ask you why you are going or where you are going. But remember, safety is the most important thing at any time. If you encounter difficulties I will be happy when I remember that there is still a friend who needs my help."

Huo An hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hands to take it.

His eyes are still calm, but in a place where he can't see, there is already a stormy sea in his heart.

"Thank you girl." He said in a deep voice.

Zhiyan ran towards the mountain at this moment.

Mu Dianke raised his eyes to see the sun, it had been a while since he came out.It should be that Xiao Juyan woke up and wanted to feed.

"I won't see you off." She smiled and said to Huo An, got up and left in a hurry.

Huo An bowed his hands, "Take care, girl."

Mu Dianke has always acted like this. Those who are important to her will treat each other wholeheartedly without leaving any room or regret.Since we have no choice but to say goodbye, we can let go gracefully. There is no need to be sad and sad, and pretend to be inseparable.

There is no turning back after this walk.

Until the pale autumn-colored figure disappeared at the end of the jungle, Huo Anfang straightened up and spread out his tightly clenched right palm.

There is a long strip of golden obsidian lying in the palm, and the golden sand is evenly shining. Under the direct sunlight, the brilliance flows, as if it is about to be lifted up by the faintly surrounded red clouds.
