: Painful farewell...The Legend of the Crown Clothes

After the crowd dispersed, Xu Xingxia slowly walked into Zhu Hengzhi's teahouse. Everything just happened in front of the teahouse. I believe Zhu Hengzhi witnessed the whole process. I guess she must be very uncomfortable. Her destiny was completely ignored. None of the senior officials in Ningxia Town cared about her existence. She was just a piece of goods or a gift, which could be sent to please the Tartars at any time.

Sure enough, when he entered the teahouse, Zhu Hengzhi was sitting silently. On the surface, her behavior, posture and expression had not changed significantly, and it seemed that she had not been affected by the incident just now. However, there was no book in front of her. There was no reaction to Xu Xingxia's coming in. This fully shows that her heart has not been completely calmed down. To be precise, her heart may still be very confused.

Xu Xingxia sat down opposite her, massaged her hands gently on the table several times before slowly saying: "Miss Azhu, I wonder if your relatives in your family are safe? Have you ever thought about going home?"

Zhu Hengzhi slowly raised her head, and a sad look on her beautiful cheeks. It seemed that the conflict just now did make her feel uncomfortable. She could not completely calm her mood. Her eyes were a little sad and a little sad, and she slowly said: "My home... cannot be said to be good or bad..."

"My mother passed away very early. I grew up with another woman. My father used to be very sad. He has been a little better in the past two years, but he still has no time to care about us. He always has a lot of worries and is in poor health. The older brother only likes to do carpenters, and deals with axes, planes, chisels and other things every day. He never cares about other things. The younger brother is still young and doesn't know anything."

She tried hard to control her emotions, calm her tone, and slowly said, "Xu Baihu means that I want me to leave Weizhen Fort, don't continue to cause trouble for you, right?"

Xu Xingxia nodded and said slowly: "Of course not. You didn't cause me trouble. But, I believe Miss Azhu has seen all the situation just now. Dear sir... I am very ashamed. I am humble and I am afraid I can't take care of Miss Azhu for too long. If something happens, I feel uneasy. If Miss Azhu has another safer place, please consider it."

Zhu Hengzhi's bright eyes fell straight into his eyes, as if she wanted to see through him. Facing her gaze, Xu Xingxia also faced her calmly, without any intention of retreating. He was open and straight, and had nothing to avoid. After a long time, she withdrew her gaze and said slowly: "If they really came in and rob me, would you really rebel?"

Xu Xingxia nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes!"

Zhu Hengzhi said quietly: "Why? Is it because of my beauty?"

Xu Xingxia shook her head and said slowly: "Miss Azhu, you are indeed very beautiful. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen since I came to this world. But in my heart, beauty and ugliness and value are the same. You are all people of the Ming Dynasty. As an official army of the Ming Dynasty, I have the responsibility to ensure your safety. I can't do such a thing."

Zhu Hengzhi said with a sarcastic sense: "Are those two young masters also the people of the Ming Dynasty? Do you also have the responsibility to protect their safety?"

Xu Xingxia nodded and said bluntly: "Yes, they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I also have the responsibility to protect their safety. If I have the opportunity, I will still rescue them. Maybe they should do it. However, they should not die at the hands of the Tartars. The fate of my Tartars can only be decided by us and cannot be dealt with by the Tartars!"

Miss Azhu carefully savored Xu Xingxia’s words and said softly: “A conversation with you is better than reading for ten years. Xu Baihu, thank you.”

Xu Xingxia smiled slightly and massaged her hands gently on the table.

Zhu Hengzhi's mood has completely returned to normal. She said softly: "You are right. I have been leaving home for a while and should go back and take a look. Tomorrow morning, I will leave Weizhen Fort. As long as I return to the capital, I believe no one can hurt me. Xu Baihu, thank you for your care for so many days. During the period of staying in Weizhen Fort, I have seen a lot, heard a lot, and felt a lot. These are memories that I will never forget, and I will treasure them in my heart."

Xu Xingxia nodded and said sincerely: "I also thank Miss Azhu for her tea. I have started to like drinking tea now. I wonder if anyone will come to pick up Miss Azhu on the way? Do you want me to escort Miss Azhu out of Ningxia Town?"

Zhu Hengzhi smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "Don't worry about you anymore, my master has his own arrangements. Tomorrow morning, someone will pick me up on the east bank of the Yellow River. If you have time, please escort me to the east bank of the Yellow River."

Xu Xingxia nodded, stood up slowly, and said loudly: "Since that's the case, I'll see you tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, I'll pick up the girl at the entrance of the teahouse."

Zhu Hengzhi nodded and said, "Thank you, see you tomorrow morning."

Xu Xingxia walked out of the teahouse door and suddenly heard the melodious sound of the piano behind her. It should be Zhu Hengzhi playing the piano. He slowly stopped and listened to the piano from behind. When the sound of the piano started, he was quite resentful and sobbed, and it was interrupted several times, as if he could not continue. Every time he turned to the bass, there was a long gap, as if he was a drowning person, struggling in pain, and he couldn't breathe in one breath.

However, not long after, the sound of the piano gradually became excited, gradually moving higher, and the rhythm continued to speed up. The resentment and sob became a big opening and closing, rushing around, and finally evolved into a powerful formation breaking song, as if there were thousands of troops fighting... Finally, the sound of the piano gradually became low and sob, as if after the fierce battle, the setting sun was as blood...

"bite!"

Suddenly, the strings broke and the teahouse fell silent.

Xu Xingxia shook her head gently, speeded up and left.

Early the next morning, Xu Xingxia came to the teahouse and found that a light-loaded carriage had been parked at the door. The person in charge of chasing the car was actually Mr. Tang Chen. Xu Xingxia couldn't help but complain in his heart that this bull's nose is a versatile person, and he even knows how to drive the car. I said, you bull's nose, will you die if you don't show off?

Zhu Hengzhi had already changed into a dress for going out, standing next to the carriage, silently waiting for Xu Xingxia's arrival. She covered her red cloak outside, illuminating her pretty cheeks as if she was a bit sickly. Maybe because she didn't sleep well last night, her eyes were also slightly red, adding a little pity.

Her beauty and her elegance were completely released at this moment. Her flawless face as beautiful as jade, her elegant outline, and her quiet and elegant demeanor, and her clean and unfilmed face were like a daffodil that shone on the water, or like an orchid blooming silently in the valley. There was aloofness in the purity, but she saw light sorrow in her leisure.

When the two met, they didn't say anything, just nodded to each other, even if they had greeted each other. It seemed that in the dark, they could understand each other's thoughts with just a slight move. In such an occasion, Zhu Hengzhi got on the carriage, and the old Taoist Tang Chen waved his whip, and the carriage bones started to move and drove towards the east bank of the Yellow River.

In May, the Yellow River can no longer be traversed, and you have to take a boat. When the group arrived at the ferry, there had been a boat waiting here. This was a large boat. The ferry of the Yellow River can usually only carry twenty or thirty people. However, this big boat can carry hundreds of people. The boat docked on the dock, and the surrounding ships were blocked from far away and could not be reached at all.

What made Xu Xingxia even more strange was that the boatmen he saw were all young people, and their behavior showed a strong aura. There was no doubt that they all had a foundation in martial arts practice. Among them, there were several masters. He was sure that these boatmen were all pretending to be temporary. They turned out that they must not be boatmen, but were mostly soldiers of the army.

It seems that this Miss Zhu is indeed of great origin. She is in Weizhen Fort, and she is not as good as a woman from a wealthy family. However, with this ship and this group of people, Xu Xingxia could have guessed her identity. However, he would rather pretend not to know. Some things are boring to put it bluntly.

"Please." Zhu Hengzhi said gently.

"Thank you!" Xu Xingxia nodded and responded calmly.

After Zhu Hengzhi got on the boat, he directly led the horse onto the boat. The boatmen stared at him with vigilant eyes. Four boatmen surrounded him from different angles. Even on the mast, someone aimed at him with crossbow arrows. However, after Taoist Tang Chen made a gesture, their vigilant eyes eased down. The boat set sail quickly, and in a moment, it reached the east bank of the Yellow River.

Xu Xingxia did not come down on the boat. There was no need for him to come down. Because, on the east bank of the Yellow River, more than 50 cavalry were waiting for Zhu Hengzhi's arrival solemnly. Xu Xingxia's eyes firmly locked in the fifty cavalry in front. In Ningxia Town, fifty cavalry was not a big deal. However, these fifty cavalry were absolutely special!

Embroidered spring sword!

Flying fish suit!

The clown-clothed tiara!

They are from the Jinyiwei!

This Azhu girl is indeed of great origin and can actually send Jinyiwei to come here to welcome her. Her identity can basically be determined. How many people can be escorted by Jinyiwei Tiqi in this world? This made Xu Xingxia feel a little melancholy in her heart, and she felt that the distance between the two seemed to be farther away in an instant.

She is the real natural nobleman, and she is truly priceless. Compared with her, the two embroidered pillows are simply not worthy of carrying shoes. Sad, alas, they still want to exchange her for the two candles back. If they learn the truth, would they hang themselves immediately? He really wanted to see their faces after they knew the truth.

Before getting off the boat, Zhu Hengzhi handed a token to Xu Xingxia, with a plain and elegant expression and said softly: "This is the token of the Jinyiwei, will you accept it?"

Xu Xingxia nodded, took the token, and said without hesitation: "Of course."

He looked down at the token in his hand and found that it was heavy and there was a cold feeling on the surface. After careful caressing, he speculated that it should be made of high-quality jade. As for what jade it was, I don’t know. What’s even more strange is that ordinary Jinyiwei tokens should have positions, names, and guards from all over the place behind them. Even the Jinyiwei commander was the same. However, this token did not have any marks. The only pattern on it was a dragon on the front and a dragon on the back.

Zhu Hengzhi whispered: "Every time I go out, I will carry this token. But now, I am going back to the capital, so there is no need. I will lend it to you for the time being. If you arrive in the capital in the future, you will still have to return it to me."

Xu Xingxia nodded and said, "No problem!"

Zhu Hengzhi's steps slowly stopped and said with a little sadness: "Xu Baihu, there will be a date in the future."

After saying that, he turned around gently and slowly got off the boat. On the dock, behind the Jinyiti cavalry, a huge carriage had been prepared, which was not inferior to Mrs. Lin's carriage. Around the carriage, there were more Jinyiti cavalry guards.

Xu Xingxia looked at her back and suddenly asked, "Miss Zhu, what's your name?"

Zhu Hengzhi smiled slightly, but did not look back, and said gently and gracefully: "I can't tell you. What I can tell you is that my name is not Zhu Hengzhi. Hengzhi is my mother's name."

Xu Xingxia asked curiously: "Are you using your mother's name?"

Zhu Hengzhi smiled again and said softly: "Yes, Hengzhi is my mother's name. Her mother's home is on the southern foot of Helan Mountain, a place called Zaoyuan Castle. I came to Weizhen Castle from there. If you have time, you can go to Zaoyuan Castle to have a look."

Xu Xingxia nodded and said, "Zaoyuan Castle, I will definitely go to."

Zhu Hengzhi said quietly: "Maybe, one day, I will tell you my name. But not now. Now, Xu Baihu, please go back!"

Xu Xingxia nodded, bent down to salute, and said in a deep voice: "I understand. Miss Zhu, please."

He suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "By the way, your teahouse..."
