At this moment, in his arms, when tears flowed across his cheeks, it was so hot that it didn't seem real.

She couldn't help but she didn't know why she cried until she felt him lift her face and kiss her down.

His lips were initially filled with a bit of ice and snow. When they touched her, her body shivered slightly, but her arms hugged his neck tighter.

The ancient wind from the north of the Tianshan Mountains blew across the steep mountains, cruising all night, echoing the foothills. On a snowy night, in this small tent, the lights were red and the brazier was warm. The man named Xie Changgeng was also by her.

Just as the old days reappeared, she knew that time had clearly passed so long that she thought that the person who had pursued her here back then could only become a memory, a thin memory that she could never look back on.

She gradually forgot to cry and began to respond to his kiss. When she heard him gently call her "Lan'er" in her ears with a depressing and hoarse voice, she slowly opened her eyes and stared at the face of the man who was close to her.

"Do you remember what you asked me when I was in Xiguan?" she said, "If I hadn't thought clearly at that time and didn't know how to respond to you, then now, I already know and clearly."

"I'm here to thank you. Chang Geng, you let me see the boy I met under the cypress tree in Junshan at the beginning. You are the boy I like since I was thirteen years old in my previous life."

"If that young man, if he gets old, he will be like you now."

She held one of his hands, pulled and pressed against her chest.

Under the softness, my heart is pounding.

Xie Changgeng lowered his head and looked at her.

The ice and snow accumulated on his temples and his chaotic beard melted and turned into water. A stream of snow rolled down his forehead, rolled over his eyebrows, and fell into his eyes. He blinked, and suddenly hugged her in his arms again and hugged her tightly.

The eternal snow on the top of the Tianshan Mountains and the wind swords that cruised all year round in the Gobi Desert wasteland, even though the face was old and the effort was frozen, at this moment, because of the bright eyes that stared at him in front of him, everything suddenly became the best.

He pressed her under his body with red eyes and kept asking her. He seemed to have really become a young man, trying to replenish the sky, his blood and energy were full of energy, and he would never be enough for her.

The night gradually became deeper. After a while, even the yak lamp at the corner of the tent finally went out.

Inside her ears was the uniform and quiet breathing sound of the man making. He was tired and fell asleep, but his hot breathing was still scattered on her forehead, like feathers, constantly gently lifting her. She couldn't help but twist her body in his arms. After moving, she stretched out a hand and held her hand.

"where are you going……"

In the night, a vague sound that seemed to come from half-dream and half-awake came into her ears.

She immediately leaned towards him and curled back into his arms.

"You go to bed. I'm here and I won't go anywhere..."

Her lips touched his ears and coaxed him softly.

He became quiet. After a while, when Mu Fulan thought he had fallen asleep again, he suddenly heard him say softly: "Lan'er, when I first came here, I was so bad that I was so painful that I could hardly stand up straight when I coughed. I thought I was going to die. During that period, I often dreamed of you. Once, I dreamed of you coming to see me."

"I told you, I failed you in my previous life. In this life, even if I atone for my sins for the rest of my life, I owe you. But if we have another next life, I hope that the person who remembers everything will be me. I will take a boat from the Yangtze River to Dongting, go to propose marriage to your father and ask for his daughter. I hope you will wait for me where we first met, and I will go there and help you save the birds that fell off the cliff, so that you will fall in love with me..."

"I woke up without waiting for your answer."

He remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Later, Yao Weng came, and my old wounds gradually healed. But I have always remembered this dream, remember clearly..."

His voice gradually became quiet until it was silent. He could only hold her arms, becoming tighter, as if he was afraid of letting go, and she would be like a dream, and wake up, all in vain.

Mu Fulan's eyes were hot.

She raised her hand and fumbled, stroked his chest, and slowly came to his face along her neck, bit by bit, inserted into his matte beard, bringing his face over.

"I promise you. Not only in this life, we will be together in the future. If I have the next life, I will go there and wait for you, remember to come. We will start with a young couple, which will be great." She said.

Xie Changgeng hugged her tightly, motionless.

The next morning, the snow cleared and the sky cleared. The rising sun in winter shone on the white snow on the top of the Tianshan Mountain peak, shining brightly.

Mu Fulan's entourage stood in front of the Jincheng sentry located below the foothills, bid farewell to her and turned to leave.

Mu Fulan watched their figures, was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and said to the man beside her, "Let's go, take me to Jincheng. From now on, besides Junshan, there is also my home. After winter, the weather is warm. When you have time, you can take me to the Western Regions to see. In my master's notes, I have read the customs and customs of the Western Regions that he has traveled to, which are very different from that of my Middle Land. I am very yearning for it."

Xie Changgeng slowly withdrew his gaze looking at Shangjing, looked at her, and smiled on his face.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

Mu Fulan looked at Xie Changgeng who was silently wearing a cloak on her shoulder, "Are you thinking of Xi'er?" she asked.

Xie Changgeng slowly put on his hat for her and whispered, "He still refuses to forgive me after all." His voice was full of regret.

Mu Fulan said, "Do you know my master, how could he come here?"

"I once asked, Yao Weng said that he was traveling to the world and wanted to go to the Western Regions. By chance, he passed by here."

Mu Fulan shook her head: "It was Xier who found my master and asked him to come here to heal your injuries."

Xie Changgeng's hand stopped.

"When he was young, he didn't know who you were, nor what happened in the past. You were just a stranger to him. But it was this kind of you who gained his respect and his feelings. Later, he remembered the past. Because of me, he hated the past you and remembered the past you, the one he met when he was a child."

"The thing I didn't want to be the last thing was that he remembered the past. He was the kindest and most caring child. I hope he knew nothing and lived a good life with the purest heart. But now this is not a good thing. I have experienced the worst moments and felt the best feelings. Give him some time and he will figure it out."

Xie Changgeng was silent for a moment, suddenly asked her to wait, took her sword, wrapped it in cloth, and rode her horse to chase forward. After a while, he caught up with the entourage who had just been ordered by Mu Fulan to go back to Shangjing to report his order, handed over the sword in his hand, and said, "After going back, I will turn this item to Your Majesty, and bring another sentence, saying that the original owner of this item was the same as when he gave it to him, and there was no change in his mood!"

Everyone did not recognize him, but knew that he was the guardian of the lonely city outside the border, and he seemed to have an indescribable relationship with the young Queen Mother Mu. When he saw him chasing him and giving such instructions, how could he not respond?

The leader hurriedly dismounted, took it respectfully, and agreed repeatedly.

Xie Changgeng nodded, turned around and rode away.

He returned to the sentinel and saw her standing in the snow from afar, talking to the soldiers.

The city lord has a mysterious identity. In addition to respecting him as a god, he is powerful and vigilant to Tianshan, and is loyal to him, he has never seen his face under his beard clearly, let alone his origin. When there was nothing wrong in the past, the soldiers occasionally discussed it privately because of curiosity. Some people said that he was an old general of the previous dynasty and was sent here to make meritorious contributions. Some people said that he was a capable person around the late emperor, or he was not tolerated by the young emperor, so he came here. He never expected that there was such a beautiful lady who came here to meet him from thousands of miles away.

Just after the city lord went, a few brave soldiers leaned towards her and asked her if she was the city lord's wife and would stay.

Mu Fulan smiled and said, "I am his wife and also a doctor. He said that the place is bitter and cold, and you lack medical treatment, so I came."

The soldiers were very happy and turned to see the city lord returning, rushed up, shouting: "Sir, it's cold here, take your wife back to the city!"

Xie Changgeng laughed and said, "Then I'll have a good time to guard you here for a few more days. When the snow covers the mountain and you withdraw to the city, I will ask someone to slaughter the sheep and drink it to reward you!"

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Xie Changgeng rode his horse closer, bent down and picked up Mu Fulan, grabbed her onto the horse, and galloped forward.
