Chapter 158: Honored Guest
Liu Hui cried, he didn't expect that the person he loved the most would die in the hands of the person closest to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ji Xuan sneered and said, "It's just a woman, if she dies, she will die, is it worth your heartbreak?" I have long said that Xiaorong is not suitable for you, if you listen to me, she will not die." Speaking of which, it was you who killed her. ”
Liu Hui was furious, slammed his palm on Ji Xuan's chest, and said, "Do you think that if you kill her, you can make the prince break the killing intention, and you can exchange glory and wealth for me?"
Ji Xuan didn't hide or avoid this palm, but there was no pain on his face. He clutched his chest and said indifferently: "Whether it's right or wrong, I did it too." If you want to avenge her, kill me!"
Liu Hui clenched his fists tightly, his teeth clenched, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out like a coiled poisonous snake, looking like a lone wolf who had been betrayed.
His beautiful eyes were full of pain and helplessness, and after half a sound, he said coldly: "Ji Xuan, you saved me, I can't kill you." But the love between you and me is over, and we should not interact with each other again in the future. Let's go!"
Ji Xuan was silent for a moment and left, but his hands and feet were stiff and his steps were messy when he left!
Although Liu Hui found out afterwards that Xiao Rong's death was actually done secretly by the prince who didn't want him to marry with the powerful family. However, in his mind, although Ji Xuan did not make a direct move, he must have done a lot of things behind his back, which made the prince murderous towards Xiaorong.
Liu Hui's feelings for Ji Xuan are very complicated, and he is obviously the closest and most trusted person. But in the name of his own good, he repeatedly did things to hurt himself. If you don't kill him, I'm sorry for Xiao Rong, who died in vain, and if you kill him, I'm sorry for the old love.
In the end, he could only choose to avoid Ji Xuan!
This time, Liu Hui did send someone to Qingzhou secretly to provoke civil strife in the army, but he didn't expect that Ji Xuan, who had not seen him for four years, would rashly intervene in this matter.
The only time they crossed paths in the past four years was when the queen asked him to marry Xie, and he refused to obey and was placed under house arrest in the mansion. Ji Xuan once asked someone to bring him a note, with only eight words on it: Xie family, available! Xie family, can be married!
At that time, Liu Hui only sneered and tore the note to shreds.
This time, Ji Xuan appeared again at a critical juncture. It seems that Ji Xuan has never really forgotten himself in the past four years, just like he has never forgotten Ji Xuan.
At this time, the thick bloody smell in the forest dissipated a lot, and the birds began to chirp happily again. The golden sunset pierced through the gaps in the foliage, casting large and small spots of light on the blood-stained ground. Like countless brightly colored insects, crawling on moss and reddish sheep's tooth leather.
Liu Hui condescendingly looked at Ji Xuan, who couldn't see the change in emotion, and said slowly: "I know that I am not as subtle as you in terms of strategy, I am not as long-term as you in terms of knowledge, and I am not as forbearant as you in terms of heart." But I also have someone I want to protect, this person, I found it, but I almost died because of you.
I often wonder if you are my friend or my enemy, and if you are an enemy, you can give your life for me. If you are a friend, you know how to stab me fatally. Ji Xuan, what do you want me to do with you?"
When the wind rose, the pines and cypresses all over the mountain shook in unison, making a rustling sound, like turquoise waves rising and falling. The sunset has completely disappeared behind the mountain, and the light is gradually dimming, illuminating Ji Xuan's face uncertainly.
After half a ring, he smiled bitterly and said, "Saying so much, it's just that you don't want me to trouble her again, I promise you." ”
"Really!" Liu Hui looked at him suspiciously, his dark eyes revealing a thick distrust.
"I, Ji Xuan, swear to the sky!" Ji Xuan was angry, raised three fingers and swore an oath: "If you do the slightest harm to Hua Lianyue in the future, you will not die well in this life!"
Liu Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense heartstrings relaxed slightly. He knew that Ji Xuan never swore easily, but once he swore an oath, he would never break his oath.
It's just that Liu Hui always thought that it was a temporary parting with Hua Lianyue as an expedient measure, but he never expected that this parting would almost become forever.
.......
Three years later!
On a bright late autumn afternoon, the fallen leaves are thickly spread all over the roots, and the flowers sit leisurely on the thick roots. She leaned lazily against the thick tree trunk, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was closing her eyes to recuperate, and as if she was falling asleep.
Opposite her, there was a man dancing a sword, and the long sword in his hand was like a white snake spitting out letters, hissing through the wind. It is like a dragon going to sea, and its momentum is like a rainbow. Sometimes it's as light as a swallow, sometimes it's as lightning as a flash. It's really a white light in the courtyard, and the silver light dances in the air.
The man glanced at Hua Liyue's body and began to slowly lean to the right, and the corners of his lips hooked, revealing a doting smile.
I saw him put his sword into the sheath, and leaped lightly, just in time to catch her body that almost slipped to the ground. With a slight force in his arms, the man hugged her weak body. She muttered a few times in a daze, buried her cheek deep in his arms, and continued to sleep.
At this time, the cool breeze brought a chill to the bone. The colorful maple leaves are like rain, falling from the branches one by one, sticking to her sideburns, as if bringing a red glow to the sky.
The man smiled and strode towards the room, his boots making a subtle crunch on the dead leaves on the ground. A pot-bellied woman dressed in a smoky purple gown, loosely holding a low bun, with only a few dark red pomegranate beads inserted diagonally, walked out of the house at the sound of the sound.
This woman is the eldest pair who has married Liu Qing.
Dashuang looked at Hua Lianyue, who was in a deep dream in the crook of Liu Qing's arm, a light smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he whispered: "Finally asleep!"
Liu Qing smiled slightly and did not make a sound. He strode into the room and placed her on the soft bed. She muttered a few words in a daze, turned over, buried her face deep in the honey-colored ten-spiced soft pillow, and continued to sleep sweetly.
Dashuang carefully covered the futon for Hua Lianyue, then straightened his waist with difficulty, and held Liu Qing's arm with a smile and said, "Husband, let's not disturb her!"
"Okay!" Liu Qing smiled slightly, so the husband and wife went out of the room hand in hand!
Dashuang held Liu Qing's arm and said as he walked: "Husband, when are we leaving?"
The corners of Liu Qing's lips lifted and said, "Let's leave in three days, and during this time, you can also prepare some more dowries for Xiaoshuang." After all, she is married to the Shudi Tang Sect, which has a foundation of hundreds of years, and she will not be underestimated by having a heavy dowry. ”
Dashuang knew that Liu Qing was worried that Xiaoshuang's former maid identity would make her suffer grievances in the Tang family, so he said this. She pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly, "Got it, husband!"
Liu Qing looked at her sideways, and then reached out and gently put it on her bulging abdomen, and instructed: "It's just the same, but don't tire yourself, don't forget that you are still pregnant with our child in your belly!"
Dashuang stuck out the tip of his tongue and said, "I know it in my heart!" After a pause, she showed a look of regret on her face: "It's a pity that Yue'er can't go to Shu with us, it's a pity after all!"
Liu Qing sighed slightly, and said: "There is no way, then Liu Hui was named King Xian by the emperor because he cracked the iron ore case, and he also got the assistance of Ji Xuan and the Xunyang Zhang family." In the past two years, his power in the court should not be underestimated, and now even the crown prince has to give him three points.
Yue'er didn't want to see him, so she came up with the trick of fake death to escape. Pity her for being such a lively and active person, in order to hide from him in our house, she has not stepped out of the door for a whole year, but people don't give up at all.
Over the years, my father hid in the Valley of Hundred Flowers and could not be quiet, and he had to visit the valley several times a year. There is also the eldest brother's Jianwei General's Mansion, my Guanglu Temple Qing Mansion, and even the Shudi Tang Sect that completely broke the root of the disease for Yue'er. Brightly and secretly, I don't know how many spies he sent out are secretly spying. Hey, it's two words, trouble!"
After a pause, he said again: "But our hard days are coming to an end, and I heard that the emperor is going to point out a marriage for him." After all, when he reached the marriageable age, he never had a concubine, except for the fifth prince Liu Shou, he was the only one. Presumably, when the candidate for Princess Naxian is decided, he will not have the face to pester our family Yue'er again. ”
"Let's hope so!" said Dashuang's mouth, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.
......
"What, my father is going to point out the daughter of the Zhang family in Xunyang to me as a concubine?" Liu Hui sat behind the table, his handsome face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water. He put the yellow lotus pattern tea cup on the white background on the table in his hand casually, he moved a little heavily, and the green tea in the cup spilled out, almost wetting the official document on the table.
Three years of hard work, three years of hard searching, made his originally handsome face as a fairy depict the traces of time. Probably because he frowned too much, his eyebrows even had a faint Sichuan character fine lines. Today, he wears a light blue straight-up robe, and his waist is empty, and he looks much thinner than he was three years ago.
Ji Xuan took a sip of the tea, and couldn't help but smile when he heard it: "What's the panic, it's not the first time that the emperor has moved the idea of giving you a concubine, at most, let the concubine of the Zhang family also die violently!"
"No! The Zhang family has helped me a lot over the years, I can't chill their hearts!" Liu Hui stood up and paced back and forth in the room in annoyance.
He didn't speak, and Ji Xuan also smiled and didn't make a sound. Seeing that a cup of tea had bottomed out, he smashed his mouth and said: "I can't chill the heart of the Zhang family, and I don't want to marry someone else's girl as a concubine, this thing is really not easy to do." But it's not without a little idea......"
Liu Hui stood still, frowned at him, and said eagerly: "Tell me, what is your best of both worlds?"
Ji Xuan showed a weird smile and said slowly: "Don't forget, the prince who doesn't have a concubine has a fifth prince besides you." Besides, the five princes have always been close to you, and he will definitely help with this favor. ”
"This method ......" Liu Hui was silent for a long time, and nodded slowly: "It's really good!"
Liu Shou didn't know that he had been sold by his second brother, he was sitting in the teahouse at the moment, listening to an excerpt with relish.
Suddenly, a cold wind hit, and he couldn't help but sneeze several times in a row. Tightening his collar, Liu Shou muttered: "The sun was shining before, why did the sky change now?"
......
Xunyang, Zhangfu!
The Zhang family is a veteran family with a history of more than 100 years, and its mansion is naturally magnificent, graceful and luxurious. Especially in the back garden, the rockery is full of rockeries, and the cornices of the curved corridor are hidden in a greenery. Everywhere there are green waterfall-like vines, dotted with countless tiny light purple flowers.
A tall persimmon tree is covered with red lantern-like red persimmons. A few half-grown children were eager to pick the sweet and juicy persimmons from the tree.
One of them struggled to climb the tree with great difficulty, and the children below cheered and shouted: "Yuanzhuo, pick the one on the right, that one is big, it must be the most sweet and soft." ”
"Yuanzhuo, I want the one behind you, the one with the brightest red color, it must be the sweetest. ”
"Yuanzhuo, I want to ...... too"
"Yuanzhuo ......"
The child named Yuanzhuo hugged the trunk of the tree tightly, and did not pick the big persimmon in front of him, but looked at the gate of Zhangfu from afar.
I saw that the door of Zhang's mansion was wide open, and almost all of the uncles and uncles in charge of their own affairs, and even their grandfathers, all gathered at the door, and a young man walked in like a starry moon.
The young man wore an eggplant purple satin brocade jacket with a silver fox fur coat and a pair of tall cowhide boots on his feet. This person is handsome and elegant, and the corners of his mouth have always been smiling like a spring breeze.
Zhang Yuanzhuo saw that an important guest had come to his house, and he didn't dare to be greedy for persimmons anymore, so he slipped down the tree with a smoke. Panicked: "Important guests come to the house, all disperse, disperse, don't gather here!"
When the group of children heard this, they immediately dispersed. Big persimmons can be eaten at any time, if you lose your politeness in front of the guests and lose the face of Xunyang Zhangfu, I am afraid that in addition to not being able to eat persimmons, you will have to eat an extra plate.
Zhang Yuanzhuo ran back to his yard with a cigarette, he poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it dry in a few sips. wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that his eldest brother Zhang Yuanyang was dressed up in extraordinary spirit, and he was just about to go out. He asked in a daze, "Big brother, where are you going?"
Zhang Yuanyang bent the joint of his right hand with the missing tail finger and gently tapped on his head, and said with a smile: "You ask me, I also want to ask where you went before." Have you memorized the book I asked you to memorize yesterday? When I come back, I will have to memorize it, if I can't memorize it, even if I have a mother to intercede today, you won't be able to avoid this handboard. ”
Zhang Zhizhuo subconsciously hid his hands behind him, and his eldest brother's playful appearance made him a little embarrassed. Zhang Yuanzhuo's dark eyes purred, and he smiled: "Big brother, don't scare me, I know who you're going to meet." ”
"Oh!" Zhang Yuanyang said with interest: "Then tell me who I'm going to meet." ”
Zhang Yuanzhuo said with great interest: "I have long heard that the ancestor is 80th birthday, and the virtuous king of the capital will personally come to congratulate the ancestor on his birthday." Earlier, I saw a distinguished guest in our house, and even the second uncle and the third uncle were personally at the door to greet him, and I thought that the distinguished guest must be a virtuous king. ”
Speaking of this, he looked Zhang Yuanyang up and down again, and said triumphantly: "As a leader in our generation, and he is dressed so neatly and beautifully, he must be going to meet His Royal Highness the Virtuous King." Big brother, did I guess right?"
