It has been half a year since I left Jiankang, and half a year since I haven't seen Wen You. I have gone from the bitter lovesickness at the beginning to the almost parting in life and death, and now I am quite hesitant. The thought of suppressing the longing that I have forgotten for many days is almost bursting out.

But I was a little afraid to ask the master about his news.

Is he good at Jiankang? Why didn’t he write to me? Why didn’t he come this time? Did the emperor not allow him to come, or was he plagued by some trivial matters? Who was the person and what made him unable to come to see me? His wife who had almost died, who had not passed away?

I stood outside the Sanchong House door, looking at the closed door of Lin Fang in the distance. The jade bracelet on my hand was almost transparent in the sunlight, but something was full of the sky.

The door finally opened and the master walked out. As if he had a sense of emotion, he looked in my direction from afar. After a pause, he turned around and walked aside.

Those hesitation and fear were immediately thrown behind me, and I stopped by him.

"What are you doing in the yard?" Master smiled, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet other people who came with me."

I stopped him: "Master, where is Wen You?"

The master paused and said, "He can't walk away."

Oh, so that's it?

However, after so many hardships, Lin Fang was seriously injured. Why didn’t he come for such a big thing?

But I couldn't ask the master.

"Master, Wen You, nothing happened, right?"

"...He was a worker in the palace and was highly appreciated by the emperor. Lord Wen Qiao was also proud of his youth, which was excellent." The master said calmly.

"Then... does he have..." I gritted my teeth, "Does he like, other girls?"

The master was silent for a moment and said, "Hong'er, you and I know very well how good Zi Su is."

Of course I know that no one is more determined than him, and no one is more affectionate than him. That is to say, nothing?

I only let go of my heart.

The master looked at me: "Now the enemy is in front of me, the entire Jiangdong Wulin is united in hating the enemy. The children's personal relationship should be released for the time being."

Because the troops had not yet gathered, we had to wait for Zhou Fang's army, so we continued to stay in this town for several days. However, Liu Guang and Liu Ke's uncle and nephew were leaving.

On the day of farewell, I was a little reluctant to part with that brat Liu Ke. The days he has been here have added so much fun to me! I always look angry, and then I am instructed to do this and that inexplicably.

I have a good feeling for Liu Guang. After all, at a critical moment, he took action with righteousness. We owe him a great favor, but he didn't say what to ask for, nor did he force us to go back to Liaodong with him. Instead, it made people feel uneasy - this favor is always paid back. Who doesn't understand this principle by those who travel around the world?

Lin Fang couldn't get out of bed, so the master took us to see him off. Seeing their troops gradually moving away, Xiao Liuke turned his head with conscience several times, and I was also a little moved.

"Sister Zhan, I'm going to visit me in Liaodong!" the boy shouted from afar.

I was stunned. I had been coercive and tempted for so many days, but Liu Ke, who was two years younger than me, refused to call me sister. I left today, but suddenly called me like this.

"Okay! I will definitely come! There will be a date later!" I shouted loudly. From a distance, I thought Liu Ke must have a smile on his face.

—————

On the same day and night, I picked up a bowl of top-quality chicken soup and ran to Lin Fang's room routinely.

His spirit is getting better and better day by day, and I can even get out of bed and walk. I am so happy. He seems not affected by the robbery incident at all. Instead, he often smiles in his face, which shows that the spirit of the leader of the alliance is indeed extremely powerful.

As usual, he drank most of the chicken soup, and I drank the little bit of the remaining essence. After drinking the soup, he held the book and read it carefully, and I read the legendary novel aside.

When Xiao Liuke was not leaving, he even whispered to me, saying that I shouldn’t be in the same room with the leader every night. It’s so vulgar! The leader and I are innocent and bright! I like to stay by the leader. He seems to have a special aura, which makes others’ hearts calm.

Liu Ke naturally didn't understand this principle, and he even brought it to love between men and women. I, Zhan Qinghong, look like a bad woman who is fickle?

As I looked at it, I felt a little bit like Wen You. The intimacy between the two when they were together, the heart-warming extensions and words.

I couldn't read the book and my face was a little hot. Let's go out for a walk! I put down the book, but saw Lin Fang's black eyes staring at me.

Uh...Is my abnormality so obvious? It's embarrassing.

"You look very good," Lin Fang said.

"Haha-" I stood up, "I'm back to my room!"

"Wait--" Lin Fang said, "You... have something to do? It's still early."

I spend one or two hours every day in the forest. I have only been sitting for less than one stick of incense today, no wonder he is strange.

I looked at Lin Fang's kind and gentle face, and my heart moved.

Maybe, can you tell him?

"That... A Fang, do you think Zisu is a... well... dedicated person?" I asked. The leader is so smart and has a very accurate view of people! Thinking of this, I looked at him expectantly.

He put down the book, looked at me, and chuckled slowly.

"This question is difficult to answer."

Ah? I said wonderingly: "Aren't you very good at looking at people? You can't even see clearly, who else can you count on?"

"What is loyalty?" His eyes were bright, "A man is so ties with too many ties. What is the degree of loyalty? How can it be easy to determine whether a person is loyal? Then I would like to ask Honger--"

He stared at me: "Do you think I, Lin Fang, are you a dedicated person?"

Uh... this question is very difficult to answer. However, the character who is like a leader who turns his hands to make clouds and rain must be very, very caring for his beloved woman, right? He cares about his subordinates so much, let alone the woman he likes?

"I think Ah Fang, you are a person of loyalty." I said affirmatively, "Your level of loyalty must be no less than Wen You. If a girl becomes your sweetheart, she will definitely be extremely happy."

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, laughing happily.

"Hong'er still understands me." He looked at me and said word by word, "Hong'er, you remember. If I like anyone, I will definitely let her stay by my side for the rest of my life."

Unlike the clear and gentleness of the past, he was introverted and deep, at this time, he actually had a hint of wanton arrogance. It was like a landscape of ink and painting, suddenly showing a thick and colorful stroke.

I nodded in a daze. Although I knew that the leader was just chatting with me, under his gaze, my face became so hot that it became so hot that it was even more powerful than just now!

Alas, it’s true that beauty ruins the country!

—————

Three days later, we received the exact news and went west to join Zhou Fang's army.

More than forty people gathered in this small town went west while the night was shining.

Along the way, in addition to the leader and protector, I also had another role - the leader's maid. How sad! Originally, during Lin Fang's illness, I was responsible for his daily life. After the master arrived, he found a special time to gently hint me that Lin Fang was in danger this time, and after all, I also have the responsibility - as the leader and protector, how could he lose the leader?

So the master instructed that in addition to practicing swords well and working hard to improve sword skills, he should also take care of himself before Lin Fang recovers from his sins.

I readily followed it.

Over the years, I have gradually become familiar with Lin Fang's many habits and preferences - it can be seen that I do have the talent to be a maid.

For example: Lin Fang looked at a light man, but he was fond of spicy food. He was calm every time he ate no matter what dish he was eating, but his chopsticks were stretched to heavy-tasting dishes. For example, he didn't spend a lot of time planning strategies. On the contrary, he was in a room or in a carriage and was resting in his heart. At critical moments, he was extremely energetic and stood up to infect everyone. For example, he was actually very talented in martial arts. After reading a few pages of the sword score, he could point out my inappropriateness. If he hadn't been in poor health since childhood and had his meridians broken by his enemies at a few years old, he would never look like he was now without the power of his hands. For example, he was actually a very proud and lonely person, even with my master, he would not have been too pure. More often, he would rather stay alone - of course, he was not irritated by me.

I often think that it is such a thin and lonely person who is so thin and lonely in the current Jiangdong martial arts world and is so powerful that it is really convincing!

Every morning, I was the first to go to Lin Fang to report; I accompanied him to eat three meals a day; I cooked every sip of tea he drank by myself; his clothes were torn, and he threw them directly to me who was clumsy. Even if the sewing was too stunning, he still dressed as if nothing had happened, and was still as fairy-like as a calm and clear person. With all the intimate companions, Lin Fang was naturally calm and gentle, so I felt innocent.

I have become accustomed to staying by his side quietly and keeping at peace. Infected by his strong concentration, I am no longer anxious about Wen You's lack of news. I told myself to believe, believe in Wen You's loyalty, and believe in our fate.

However, in Wen You's eyes, such intimacy with Lin Fang should be considered too much, right? Zhou Bo will go crazy even if he kisses me; I am inseparable from another man - even if he is our common martial arts leader, he should be angry, right?

But Wen You, you are not by my side.

I will miss you, worry too much, and miss you too much. Only with the leader here can my heart calm down.

After walking for a few days, the group finally arrived at the agreed location - Chuanyang.

Although it is late autumn, there are still lush green trees and bright sunshine. A jasper-like river winds down the suburbs, contrasting with the blue sky and white clouds, making it beautiful.

There was a tall man standing at the pavilion under the tree. When he saw our group of people, he rushed over quickly. He was about twenty years old, dressed in military uniform, with a cold appearance, energetic and neat manner. Before he could even walk in front of us, he bowed down and said loudly: "I am here to wait for the two generals and heroes and long time!"

My master and I looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes. From the masculine temperament in front of me, we can see Zhou Fang's temperament in the army.

As we climbed over two mountains, we saw a huge valley suddenly enlightened. Surrounded by extremely low clouds, a black army was training, killing sounds shook the sky and dust was flying. Unlike the weak scattered and weak army of Mianzhou, this black army was like a dragon, integrated and powerful!

A general with black armor and blue robe could be seen standing on a high platform not far away, standing with his hands behind his back.

We walked up with the young soldier and saw the black-armored general as tall as an iron tower. Before the soldiers could report, he turned around consciously and showed a heroic face. He saw thick eyebrows, big eyes, whispered beard, murderous aura all over his body, dark eyes, and shining with shiny eyes.
