Chapter 395 Farewell
The next day, Gu Xu packed his bags and wore a mask, and saw Zhao Yan leading the horse "Big Red" to the gate of the palace as promised.
She wore a dark red hunting suit today, and her black hair was spread like a waterfall, shining like silk in the sun.
“Can you ride a horse?”
“Not very good at it.” Gu Xu answered truthfully.
"That's just right," Zhao Yan smiled, "We'll ride on the same horse. You sit behind me and I'll take you to the dock."
Gu Xu knew that this was another trap she had set.
After all, both of them are practitioners. If they are just on their way, wouldn't it be much more convenient to use the astrolabe to teleport directly?
But he still said "hmm" and nodded.
Zhao Yan got on the horse first, then stretched out her hand to pull Gu Xu up.
"Hold me tight," she said, "I'm going to speed up."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the reins.
"Big Red" seemed to know her thoughts, and in an instant, like an arrow from the string, he galloped away along the wide street.
Gu Xu was almost thrown off his horse by the sudden acceleration.
He hurriedly hugged her slender and soft waist and barely managed to steady himself.
Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes and the smile on her face became even stronger, as if she was enjoying the feeling of being close to him.
The horse turned into a red lightning, passed through the ancient gate of Jicheng, crossed the vast fields and undulating hills, and galloped freely on the land of Youzhou.
When you encounter a river, you kick your hooves and leap over it.
Encountering mountains and forests, the speed does not slow down and shuttles flexibly between trees.
When Gu Xu closed his eyes, he couldn't help but suspect that he had returned to the amusement park in his previous life, riding a roller coaster up and down.
.........
Later that day, the two arrived at Jingu, the closest port to Jicheng.
Zhao Yan has already contacted a merchant ship that is about to go to the East China Sea Islands to pick herbs.
This ship has a tacky name, called "Peace and Fortune".
She asked her men to greet the ship owner and said, "A friend wants to take a smooth sailing to the East China Sea."
Naturally, the owner of the "Peaceful Fortune" would not refuse the request of the King of Yan.
On the dock, Zhao Yan did not speak, but hugged Gu Xu one last time. The sea breeze ruffled her black hair and disturbed their moods.
Then at the greeting of the crew, Gu Xu boarded the merchant ship.
When the merchant ship raised its sails and activated its formation, he stood on the deck, looked at Zhao Yan standing on the beach, and waved to her.
At this moment, the sky is blue and the sea is blue.
Zhao Yan, dressed in red like fire, is the most dazzling scenery in the world.
Gu Xu saw her red lips slightly parted and said three words to him.
If you just look at her mouth shape, she seems to be saying "take me away".
But when her voice floated to his ears with the sea breeze under the influence of magic, what he heard was "take care".
Gu Xu had mixed feelings in his heart.
He remembered that she had promised to accompany him to the ends of the earth again.
But now she has become the king of Dayan.
After he put the golden crown on her with his own hands, she was destined to stay in this land and perform the duties of a king.
As the two looked at each other from afar, the "Ping An Fugui" quickly sailed away from Jingu Port.
Zhao Yan's figure became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from the end of his sight together with the entire land.
There is only pure blue left between heaven and earth.
…………
Zhao Yan watched the merchant ship disappear at the junction of sea and sky.
She did not leave immediately, but still stood on the shore, listening to the waves hitting the rocks again and again, making a splashing sound.
Unconsciously, the scene she saw in her recent dream reappeared in her mind.
The protagonist of the dream is still her, and the mysterious man with a vague face whom she calls "Master".
She dreamed again and again that she was sending "Master" away. Every time she heard herself asking the other person in a crying voice: "Then will you come back in the future?"
"Master" always sighed softly: "I don't know either."
At this moment, Zhao Yan only felt that the scene where she sent Gu Xu away was inexplicably similar to this dream.
The bastard also told her that he didn't know if he would be able to come back in the future.
Maybe there is a very small chance that he will come back.
But there is a high probability that after the incident is completed, that bastard will go to his former fiancée and live happily with her.
I will always stay in the barren land of the north and be a lonely king.
Farewell today may well be forever.
Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly became moist.
She stretched out her hand to rub her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Damn sand."
…………
After staying away from the coast, Gu Xu was no longer there He stayed on the deck, but was led by the crew to a cabin reserved for him.
“That friend of mine likes peace and quiet,” Zhao Yan once sent someone to tell the ship owner, “If possible, I hope you can arrange a place for him to practice meditation without being disturbed.”
The cabin was indeed quiet, with soundproofing runes carved into the walls. Coupled with the anti-shake and anti-shock formations arranged on the hull, Gu Xu's stay here felt almost the same as staying in a house on the ground.
He sat cross-legged on a bamboo mat.
Then take a deep breath and prepare to continue thinking about how to break through the situation.
However, when he closed his eyes, what came to his mind was the intoxicating blush on Zhao Yan's face when she kissed him last night.
His heart is indeed in chaos.
He had to admit that he was an easily moved person.
When he first came to this world, he was thinking every day about how to cultivate to the realm of a saint before the age of thirty. At one time, he firmly believed that "women will only affect the speed of my cultivation."
However, on that drizzly morning, when Xiaohan appeared in front of him holding a carefully prepared breakfast box, his calm state of mind seemed to have suddenly fallen into a small stone. There were ripples.
Similarly, the image of Zhao Yan holding a spear and hunting in red, appearing like a god in Jingxing and rescuing him from the encirclement of Daqi officials, was also deeply reflected in his mind.
But Gu Xu is called "steady" at best, and "always thinks too much" at worst.
Just like in previous lives, when young people were discussing marriage, they would always consider questions such as "can they afford a house?" "can they afford to raise a child?" and "how to manage the accounts after marriage."
Gu Xu also always thinks about "how long can I live", "can I bear this responsibility well", "can I let her live a happy life", "if I die, What should she do?"...
When he was previously engaged to Shi Xiaohan, he had established a firm foothold in Luojing, his official career was booming, and his wealth was rolling in. In addition, Luo Sishou gave him the idea of "becoming a saint" According to the prophecy, he has the confidence to protect her so that she can live the rest of her life without any worries.
However, things are unpredictable.
In one day, Tianjiao became a fugitive, and his stable and peaceful life was finally shattered.
When others were discussing "breaking off the engagement", Gu Xu felt more guilty and felt that he had failed to fulfill his original promise.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the cabin: "I really like her, but I still have to find all kinds of excuses. I never expected that the successor chosen by the emperor would be such a twisted person."< br>
This voice is exactly the same as Gu Xu’s own voice.
Gu Xu frowned: "Who is talking?"
He used his spiritual consciousness to look around, but found that the cabin was empty, and there was no one except himself.
"It's me," the voice continued, "If you lower your head, you can see me."
Gu Xu lowered his head and saw the "astrology chart" he placed on his knee. He didn't know when it appeared. A translucent little figure about the size of a thumb.
The little man looks exactly like him.
He has clear eyebrows and clear eyes, and is extraordinary handsome.
The only difference is that the villain's hair is silver-white, hanging on his shoulders, like the white snow on the mountain tops in winter, shining with the brilliance of stars.
"You are -" Gu Xu thought of the white-haired boy he met in the conscious world.
Could it be that the white-haired boy used some unknown method to come to the real world?
“—I am the instrument spirit of the ‘Astrolabe’.”
The villain stood on the “Astrolabe” with his hands on his hips, interrupting him.
