Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ambush
Although the backyard of the Meng family is short, it is not as easy to turn over as imagined, Cheng Yiheng finally went up in a dashing manner, but his feet stepped on the air, and when he fell, he lost his demeanor sharply, and with a "wow" sound, he fell headfirst down.
This sound did not alarm Siqing a little difficult, she got up in a panic, slowly approached with a stick, and was about to drink as a stick, and when she saw the person who was slowly getting up, the stick Shuer fell from her hand, and it didn't hit his head, but hit his foot.
Cheng Yiheng covered his mouth with his feet, jumped for a while, saw Siqing's mouth open wide, and rushed over to cover her again: "Shh, don't scream." ”
Siqing took a lot of effort to break his hand, and gasped back: "I didn't scream?"
But her mouth couldn't close for a while: "It's really you, you're back?"
"Be quiet. Cheng Yiheng put his finger to his lips, "If I am found, I will die." ”
"I'm very quiet?" Although Siqing was excited, her voice was really not loud, no matter how you look at it, these sounds were all made by Cheng Yiheng.
"Are you looking for the second brother?" she asked again.
Cheng Yiheng hesitated: "I'm going to the middle courtyard, I won't tell you more, I have limited time, and I have to leave before dawn." ”
Saying that, he went to open the courtyard door, took two steps, thought about it, turned around, and his tone suddenly became heavy: "I can't say goodbye to you one by one, you ...... Take care. ”
The lonely figure gradually blurred from the door, Si Qing seemed to understand his words, but the thick sorrow lingered in the back, making people feel lonely.
Cheng Yiheng came to the middle courtyard and stepped straight to the left.
The door was not locked, it opened with a light push, and the people inside did not sleep, and in the study at the end, there was a bright yellow light.
He knocked on the window, and the man who was sitting at the table looked up, looked around, and then turned out the window, and when he saw him, he was shocked, and quickly got up and walked over.
And he took a step back and shook his head at him: "Don't come out, it's cold outside." ”
Meng Tingan looked at him suspiciously: "I'll open the door and let you in......"
He stepped back again and again: "No, no, no, I'm dirty, I don't want you to look at it...... If you come back, I'll go!"
Ting An had no choice but to stand still, leaning against the desk behind him, across the window lattice from him, and looking at each other: "Cheng Gongzi, you ...... Are your hands okay?"
He was ready to answer why he would come back, and he didn't want the other party to ask this first, so he smiled and raised his hand to shake it twice in front of the window: "Okay, those two fingers are not very useful, and I usually have no effect." ”
Ting An's eyes flashed with sadness, and he lowered his head, and then he wanted to ask him why he was here.
And before he could ask, the person outside the window spoke first: "You have lost a lot of weight, and the whole person is no longer bright, what's wrong with you?"
Ting An also smiled: "My painting was burned. ”
"Who is so bold as to dare to burn your paintings, see that I don't peel their skins!" Cheng Yiheng said, rolling up his sleeves, "Tell me who it is, and I'll help you take revenge." ”
"There is no need to take revenge, art has its own vision, there is no right or wrong, but my paintings should not have a market for a long time, and ...... It is always uncomfortable to be rejected by those who believe. After Ting An finished explaining, he had the opportunity to ask, "Cheng Gongzi, are you back now, are you safe?"
"Nope. He couldn't lie about this, "The wanted notice is still there, and if they don't catch me, they won't give up, so ......"
He raised his eyes and looked at the people in the window, and saw that his thin figure was still so dazzling standing by the candlelight.
He stepped back in shame and continued: "So I have to go far, this time, it will be indefinite, and if I don't come to say goodbye to you, I always feel that something is missing." ”
Ting An frowned slightly: "Where are you going?"
"It's far away, it's hard to go, and it's hard to come back. He smiled, "You're ...... now If I had done it before, I would have helped you, but now it's useless, but you have to remember that your paintings, in this world, will always be appreciated by me. ”
"Thank you. ”
"Thank you?" he hurriedly waved his hand and wrapped his coat tightly, "Then I'll go, you can rest early...... Relax. ”
said goodbye, but did not move, staring at the person in the window, I really wanted to see a little reluctance in that look.
The other party's gaze was slightly moved, but it was far from the look he expected.
Ting An just took a step forward, through the window lattice, was silent for a while, and said softly: "If we can't see each other in the future, I will remember you, please don't forget me." ”
It's just a simple word, but Cheng Yiheng's eyes instantly bloomed, and the bright yellow lights in the room seemed to have turned into neon, colorful and shining in front of him.
He suddenly thought about how good it would be if he could still walk in the Xuncheng market openly like before!
But there's no going back.
He could only grin and smile happily: "Forget no one will forget you." ”
The cold wind was howling, not cold at all, he lay on the window, waved his hand to the people inside, waved and waved, until the people inside cast puzzled eyes, almost looked at him as a fool, he turned around and left, walked one step and three times turned back, and in the end, even thought, to go to his country, just stay in this Xuncheng, and admit it without seeing the day.
After pondering for a while, he turned back again, but the light behind him had gone out.
He came back to his senses, thinking that after all, this life mattered, how can the people in the dust be parallel with the people in the clouds?
He strolled out to the other side of the courtyard, and with a push of his hand, the door opened.
The unlocked door made Cheng Yiheng a little embarrassed to leave directly, so he pushed the door in, and in front of the dark window, he heard even breathing, accompanied by the moonlight, and saw that the people in the house were sleeping peacefully.
"Heh, in the past five years, you have lived comfortably. He grimaced, pulled his clothes and closed the door again, and sighed with a pout, "I won't say goodbye to you!"
He walked out of the middle courtyard and headed towards the backyard.
Siqing was staying in the courtyard, naturally he couldn't sleep, and when he saw someone coming, he looked behind him and said in surprise: "Didn't my second brother come to see you off?"
"He's sending me, he's sleeping like a pig!" said the other party angrily, "It's still a little high inside, do you have a slate here?"
"Yes. Siqing naturally took out a stone slab from the flower bed, which Huai'an had hidden here before, and it hadn't been moved for a long time.
Speaking of which, that guy hasn't been out of the wall here for a long time, and over the years, he seems to have become well-behaved.
Helping Cheng Yiheng to climb up, thinking of his words, he couldn't help but wonder: "So, my second brother is still asleep, you didn't go to him, so who are you looking for?"
"You know. The other party climbed up in a panic.
"Then what do you have to explain?" Siqing asked again, "Aren't you going to go away, and come back with so much effort, just to visit our yard?"
Cheng Yiheng had already climbed onto the wall, his figure was stagnant, and he turned his head slightly: "Then you still ...... for me Tell your second brother to cherish it, you tell him, it's okay if he is dismissed, I know him best, he is the same as me, how can he mix in the officialdom with such a temperament? Also, you told him to have less contact with those fox friends and dog friends, they are all things that see the wind and rudder, by the way, why did he buy a house in a good manner, it is still vacant, and there is nowhere to use it if there is more money, this world is the same every day, tell him to hurry up, don't turn around and smash his hands, and then ...... That guy does everything else for three days fishing and two days drying nets, but he only studies the painting, porcelain art or something, and can stay awake for two or three days. ”
Siqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why Huai'an swore every time that he would give it a try.
It turned out that he didn't really give it a try, but he was fully prepared before trying.
She didn't ask any more, and nodded to Cheng Yiheng: "Okay, I'll tell him everything." ”
"Well, I'm leaving. ”
Seeing him jump down, Siqing sighed softly.
Just about to turn around, she suddenly heard an "oops", she stopped, and shook her head angrily: "Can this fall?"
Walked back to the wall and knocked on the wall: "Are you okay?"
There was no answer outside, just whimpering.
"Did you fall on the mouth?" she asked again, wondering in what position he had fallen.
It was squirming outside, and still no one was talking.
She was about to ask again, and suddenly heard a sneer: "Cheng Yiheng, you can't run away this time!"
She was shocked and covered her mouth abruptly.
She knew this voice, Meng Kuo, who used to be a student of Master Shangshufu of the Ministry of Households, and now took over Huai'an's position and became the new commander of the infantry army.
In the middle of the night, he actually guarded here in person, it seems that as soon as Cheng Yiheng entered the city gate, he should already know.
But he didn't move, and he didn't know what he meant.
Siqing was anxious, she didn't know what happened to Cheng Yiheng, she wanted to turn around and go to Huai'an, but she just moved, and heard Lord Meng outside the wall say again: "I've been staring at you for two days, and I finally found out the purpose of your trip, who are you going to find out who is in the Meng family, and who is in the Meng family protecting you, say it quickly!"
She was stunned, if she found someone to come forward at this time, not only would she not be able to save Cheng Yiheng, but she would also catch the Meng family, she hesitated for a moment, returned to the wall, and listened to the sound outside worriedly.
But Cheng Yiheng snorted: "I didn't look for anyone, I went wrong." ”
The voice sounded fine, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Still hard-mouthed, when I have no way to know?" Lord Meng scolded, "Bring him back to me, and the others, come with me!"
Immediately loud and noisy footsteps sounded, Cheng Yiheng coughed, as if he was signaling something, and then shouted loudly: "Harboring a fugitive is a capital crime, I have never seen anyone, no one has ever seen ......"
The sound gradually drifted away, and the crowd outside Meng's house was suddenly boiling, and the sound of "banging" slamming the door startled the sleeping people, Meng Hongxian went to open the door in a panic after getting dressed neatly, and the others followed closely to welcome the visit of the new Admiral in the middle of the night.
Siqing also followed, according to Cheng Yiheng's prompt just now, she couldn't say that she had seen him, she knew this in her heart, but he didn't know who Cheng Yiheng was looking for, and he didn't know who to talk to first for a while, and unify the caliber.
She thought, who else can she find besides Huai'an?
But according to Huai'an's temperament, if you really see him, it is impossible not to send him off.
Who else can there be? Meng Hongxian and Pan Lanfang are unlikely, and Si Ru and He are even more impossible.
She stood in the crowd and looked around, her heart in a mess.
After thinking about it, but seeing Master Meng stepping in, his official uniform was meticulously arranged, he was almost the same age as Huai'an, but his eyes were much sharper, he glanced at this family a few times, and said the reason very succinctly, and then, his eyes fell directly on Huai'an: "The fugitive Cheng Yiheng had a close relationship with the second young master before, and what happened to him today, I hope the second young master will tell me the truth, so as not to bring trouble to himself!"
