Chapter 47 The Eastern Suburbs
Zhou Tianqi was silent, and slowly pulled Lin Wan's body and let her look at him.
Lin Wan turned around obediently, looked at the loss in Zhou Tianqi's eyes, and continued: "You can't escape, don't you? You like Jin Ge Iron Horse, and you want to be a general." However, you are a prince, and the future emperor will definitely not tolerate you. You can leave everything behind, you don't want anything, and leave all the distractions, but where can you hide? Who will believe that you really don't want that position? And those who want to follow you, what is the end waiting for them? I don't want to influence your decision, but I want to tell you that when you are forced to fight hard, the price you will pay will be the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, the lives of relatives, soldiers, and people! War can be avoided. ”
Zhou Tianqi frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you so sure?"
Lin Wan looked at his skeptical eyes and wanted to tell him, because this was a fact that had happened! But she couldn't say it, she couldn't explain what it was, and she didn't know if he would believe her if she told the truth. She could only ask lightly: "Haven't you thought about it?"
Zhou Tianqi saw that she didn't want to say, and he didn't ask anymore, but he felt like he was in a mess. Lin Wan was right, he had imagined countless possibilities, and asked himself countless times what he should do? Especially after seeing the old department of the Feng family army in Feng Ming City and knowing the whereabouts of the Feng clan, he didn't know what to do. That's his people, that's his duty, and he can't abandon them. As Lin Wan said, those clansmen are hiding in Tibet, living in fear, and once they are discovered, they are in danger of extinction.
Zhou Tianqi clenched his fists, his eyes were as hot as flames, a nameless resentment rose in his heart, he turned around and slapped a palm out of the window, and the apricot blossom tree in the distance shook, falling countless white petals.
Lin Wan saw his aggrieved and resentful appearance, his heart suddenly broke, tears rushed out of his eyes, he gently hugged Zhou Tianqi from behind, his face was pressed against his back, feeling his heartbeat, feeling his stiff and cold back, slowly becoming soft and warm.
After a long time, Lin Wan slowly let go of him, walked to the table and sat down, poured two cups of herbal tea for himself and Zhou Tianqi, and drank it slowly. She doesn't like the temperature, it's so cold that she always drinks warm water even in the hot summer. But now, she needs this herbal tea to extinguish the fire in her heart.
Zhou Tianqi looked at the undried tears on her face and the calm smile in an instant, a little stunned.
Zhou Tianqi sorted out his thoughts, came to the table, raised the teacup, and drank it in one gulp. Putting down the teacup, the slender and white fingers gently lifted Lin Wan's chin, the palms of both hands pressed against her moist and smooth face, the fingertips gently wiped away the faint tears, and said softly: "Your body has not fully recovered, rest early, I will go back to the room." ”
Lin Wan nodded stunned and looked at Zhou Tianqi's departing figure.
That night, Lin Wan had a very terrible dream, Zhou Tianqi in the dream was gone, and Lin Wan searched for a whole night, but he didn't find it. Is this the legendary gain and loss?
In the early morning of the next day, when Lin Wan walked out of the West Wing, Zhou Tianqi was swinging his sword with the spirit sword, the sword light was staggered, clanging, Lin Wan only felt dizzy.
Gale Feng, who had not seen him for many days, stood aside to watch the battle, and when he saw Lin Wan coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Miss." ”
"Gale Wind, how is your injury?" Lin Wan asked with concern.
"Thank you Miss for your concern, the injury is all healed. Gale replied.
"That's good, what about Qingtong, is her injury healed?" Lin Wan asked.
"Qingtong is fine, and he will be cured after two more days of rest. Gale continued: "Miss, the old lady and the second master have arrived in the capital last night, and they are currently living in another courtyard outside the city. ”
Lin Wan was shocked and stood up suddenly. Secretly, could it be that my grandfather came back early, and he couldn't escape this catastrophe?
"Prepare the car, go to the Eastern Suburbs Courtyard, and let Xiaoqi prepare to go with me. Lin Wan instructed while going back to the room to prepare.
Zhou Tianqi and Lingjian also stopped and went back to their rooms to prepare.
In the carriage, Lin Wan lowered his head and frowned. Zhou Tianqi sat with his eyes closed, and Wang Qi was also very quiet.
Half an hour later, the carriage had already left the East City Gate.
"Apocalypse!" Lin Wan suddenly opened his eyes, sweating profusely, and found himself holding Zhou Tianqi's arm tightly, nestled in his arms.
Zhou Tianqi looked at her with concern and asked softly, "What did you dream about?"
Lin Wan recalled the dream just now, the black ocean flooded herself, and she was the only one around, she shouted for help, but heard herself shouting "Apocalypse".
Lin Wan shook his head, sat up, lifted the curtains, and saw that he was already out of the city, the road was bumpy, the trees on both sides were shady, and the smell of sun, earth and grass in the air was refreshing.
Putting down the car curtains, Lin Wan's mood was already calm, Wang Qi pulled Lin Wan's wrist and helped her take the pulse. After a while, he smiled and said, "Miss, you are in good health, but you didn't sleep well last night?" ”
Lin Wan turned his head to look at Zhou Tianqi, and saw that he was looking at him suspiciously, so he hurriedly took Wang Qi's hand, changed the topic, and asked: "Xiaoqi, grandpa is old, and typhoid fever may also endanger his life, you must pay attention to it, if necessary, you must stay in the other hospital until grandpa recovers, is it okay?"
Wang Qi was a little puzzled, but still nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"Also, I can't let my grandfather know about my mother's illness, I want him to believe that my mother's illness is fine, and I can't let my grandfather worry, understand?" Lin Wan continued to explain.
"Well, I understand, miss. Seeing Lin Wan being so cautious, Wang Qi was also a little worried, other diseases are easy to say, but heart disease is the most difficult to treat.
The carriage stopped at the edge of a stream, and when Lin Wan and the others got out of the carriage, they saw a very large courtyard on the opposite side of the stream, and the plaque on the gate read "Tingxi Liyuan".
Lin Wan remembered that this annex was also one of the properties left by her grandfather to her mother. Lin Wan has never been here, but he didn't expect the environment to be so good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is quiet, and there are many farmers in the distance, but they are also the Zhao family's industry and the Zhao family's house slaves.
Before Lin Wan and the others approached the gate of the courtyard, an ordinary-looking young guard stepped forward and asked respectfully, "May I ask what you are doing here?"
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Let's come to visit Old Lady Zhao." ”
Without hesitation, the guard replied, "Our old lady has not returned to Beijing. ”
Lin Wan didn't embarrass him, took out the jade seal and handed it to the young guard.
The guard took the jade seal, glanced at it, hurriedly bowed down, raised his hands high and returned it, and said excitedly: "Subordinate Lu Bing, I have offended Miss, please forgive Miss!"
Lin Wan shook his head and smiled: "You have done a good job, what is the crime, take me in to see my grandfather." ”
"Miss, please!" The guards led Lin Wan and the others towards the courtyard. Another servant went around to the backyard with a gale to set up the wagon.
