The two deserters looked at each other, and then stared at Xiao Yanning's bulging robe, "What?"

Xiao Yanning smiled and said, "I said it was a civet cat, do you believe it?"

The deserter took out his long knife with a "swipe", Xiao Yanning took a few steps back, and shouted, "Presumptuous! Don't you even know this king, a dog with eyes and no pearls?"

The deserter was stunned by his aura, and upon closer inspection, the expressions of the two of them merged, apparently recognizing Xiao Yanning, and they were a little overwhelmed. One of them was a young man who was about to kneel and beg for mercy when he was trembling.

The older deserter stretched out his hand to support his companion's arm and stared at Xiao Yanning with a gloomy expression on his face, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

Xiao Yanning couldn't stop sneering, but he was secretly complaining in his heart. The deserter in front of him was obviously thoughtful. He just pretended to be lame and showed his timidity. If he reacted, it would be very bad.

Heng Xiu suddenly shouted, "Xiao Yanning, run!"

Xiao Yanning was about to bow his head when suddenly a cloud of red and pungent powder mist shook out of his arms and slammed into the two men. Xiao Yanning was only stunned for a moment, then ran away, the two men behind him screamed in pain, as if they had been poisoned.

After running for a long time in the stone forest, after making sure that no one was following behind, Xiao Yanning stopped and Heng Xiu jumped down, giggling.

"What did you throw out just now?" Xiao Yanning rubbed his nose and wanted to sneeze.

Heng Xiu clapped his hands, with a sly smile in his eyes, and said proudly, "It's chili powder!"

Xiao Yanning recalled and couldn't help but smile, "No wonder you sneezed just now, little auntie, can you stop trying to trick me next time?"

Heng Xiu took Xiao Yanning's hand, "It's the chili powder my mother asked me to buy for cooking, let's go."

Xiao Yanning asked, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know, where are you going?"

Xiao Yanning: "...I'll take you back first."

Heng Xiu shook his head: "You have no martial arts now, it's very dangerous for us to go back now."

Xiao Yanning thought the same thing, he pondered: "Jianglingdu has been controlled, deserters will not go to Jianglingdu although they are running around, I will take you there."

Heng Xiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded dully.

...

Xiao Yanning took Heng Xiu to hide for a long time, and finally arrived at the ferry when the sky was about to dawn. The river was calm, there was heavy snow, and a small boat was standing still.

Xiao Yanning looked at the boat with a smile and shouted loudly, "Shen Zhu, your daughter is in my hands now."

Shen Zhu walked out of the boat. He smiled and stood with his hands behind his back. The boat moved without oars, pushing snow on the lake. Xiao Yanning had a playful smile on his face, and when the boat docked, he looked up and down Shen Zhu, and saw that he was wearing a white jade robe, standing in the wind and snow, his face was slightly pale, but he couldn't hide his handsomeness.

Xiao Yanning nodded and said, "It's incredible, it's incredible! After defeating the enchanted Murong Ziyi, isn't Lord Shen invincible in the world? I'm a little dissatisfied, but dare you fight me?"

Rao Tu said in the cabin: "Xiao Yanning, can you point your face?"

Xiao Yanning pretended to be surprised: "Ratu, what are you doing hiding inside? What's wrong? You don't have the face to see me?"

Heng Xiu looked up at Xiao Yanning blankly, the little girl saw a trace of disappointment in Xiao Yanning's smiling eyes.

Rao Tu came out of the cabin and looked at the disheveled little girl, her heart softened, and she could no longer say the accusations.

Heng Xiu turned to look at her mother, the little girl's eyes were clear, and she smiled at Ratu: "Xiao Yanning's eyes are good, you can see!"

Rao Tu made a sound of "um", went ashore with Shen Zhu, rubbed Hengxiu's head, and she said warmly, "Your brother has come up with a plan that will make the people of Tongchuan surrender without a single soldier."

Heng Xiu's eyes lit up, "Really? Where is Heng Wen?"

"He has gone to Tongchuan with the army now. Let's find him. From now on, our family will stay in Tongchuan and live in Tongchuan, okay?"

Heng Xiu nodded and said, "Okay! There are iron-eating beasts in Tongchuan. Brother May said that he wants to give me two small iron-eating beasts... Will brother May also live in Tongchuan all the time?"

"He's going to be an emperor after May, so he's going to Jinling. But he'll always come back to see us."

Heng Xiu let out a sigh, then lowered her head and said, "That's it." She pulled Xiao Yanning's hand, "Do you want an iron-eating beast? I'll give you one, and we'll raise it together."

Xiao Yanning's mouth twitched, "I don't like iron-eating beasts, they're stupid and ugly."

Heng Xiu frowned, shook Xiao Yanning's big hand, and retorted, "Very cute."

Xiao Yanning looked at the vast river and murmured, "Heng Wen goes to Tongchuan and Jinling in May. That's fine too. Where is Murong Yunheng now?"

Shen Zhu said: "He has already got what he wants."

"Where's Xie Tangyan?"

"Go to Soochow with Jiang Ying."

Xiao Yanning nodded: "Soochow, it's a good place."

Rao Tu asked softly, "Are you going to Soochow?"

Xiao Yanning smiled casually, "I heard that there is a woman who writes a book there. She has neither character nor talent. But if you invite her to drink, she will help you write the book. I want to invite her to drink and let her help me... write a book."

Heng Xiu was a little nervous, "I can also write books, I can recite a lot of poems..."

Xiao Yanning smiled and said, "I buried a pot of Guizi wine outside the Yin Valley of Dongwu. If you come in the future, I will invite you to drink it. It's just... Forget it..."

He jumped onto the bow of the boat and said to Shen Zhu: "The boat is fine."

Heng Xiu stared blankly at Xiao Yanning, and suddenly shouted: "Xiao Yanning, I also want to drink osmanthus wine!"

Xiao Yanning waved his sleeves, the boat entered the heart of the river, and went down the river in the long wind and snow.

Two lines of tears rolled down Heng Xiu's face. She ran along the river bank and shouted, "Xiao Yanning, Xiao Yanning... Wait for me, I also want to drink osmanthus wine."

Xiao Yanning looked at the pale yellow shadow on the river bank, he frowned slightly, turned and walked into the cabin.

The cabin was lit with ambergris, a jar of osmanthus wine and a brand-new embroidered sachet were placed on the small table.

On the river bank, Rao Tu hugged the sobbing little girl and wiped the tears from her face. Rao Tu said distressedly: "Hengxiu, when you grow up, if you still want to find him, my mother will let you go."

Shen Zhu stepped forward and hugged the mother and daughter in his arms. He was warm and firm, "Axiu, you will see him again."

I hope all the long separations can finally meet again.

May came on horseback. He looked at Heng Xiu, who was in tears in Rao Tu's arms. The young man was stunned for a long time. He tucked his hand into his sleeve.

...

Five years later, a girl who likes to wear bright red clothes leads her big cat, an iron-eating beast, out of Sichuan.

The parents are very good, Heng Wen is very good, Xiao Yan is very good, and May brother is also very good, but she has really grown up. There was a person in Zeng Jin who said that the iron-eating beast was ugly and stupid. She wanted to show him the big cat and told him that it was actually cute and smart.

She went to many places, but dared not go to Soochow alone.

In the early winter of that year, outside Soochow, she met a woman who wrote a book, read a book, drank a pot of wine, and fell in love with someone.
