Chapter 1759 - When Things Go Wrong, There Must Be Demons
Why is it so quiet?
I sat on the bed, in the quiet and dark room, where I could only hear my own heartbeat and breathing, and outside the door, there was a little red light from the lantern hanging under the eaves, and I could barely hear the wind. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ .
On this night, everything was silent.
How can it be so quiet?
I clearly remember that Song Huaiyi said before that he was going to conquer Cangzhou City in this half a month, and their method of attacking the city was also very peculiar, the night before they first made a lot of noise outside Cangzhou City, so that the city, especially the soldiers defending the city, could not rest well, and consumed their 'essence' strength, so that the next day to attack the city, they could get twice the result with half the effort.
It stands to reason that Pei Yuanxiu has already taken Han Ruoshi to Cui's house today, if they want to show their loyalty, they should attack the city the most 'fiercely' in the past few days.
Why isn't there the slightest sound outside tonight?
Didn't they plan to attack the city? Or did they have some other way to do it?
As soon as I thought about it, the heavy tiredness I had just felt was swept away, I rolled over and got out of bed, stepped on my shoes and walked slowly towards the door, my hand had already been on the frame of the door, but I hesitated for a moment and did not push the door open.
The 'flower' bamboo must be outside, even if the 'flower' bamboo is not there, Xie Feng must be peeping at me.
Pei Yuanxiu left him behind to "protect" me, saying that it was protection, but I think Xie Feng has most of his thoughts, all of which are monitoring me, and my every move now can't be too much.
If you just push the 'door' and go out, and he asks why he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, I really can't say.
So, the hand was taken back.
I walked to the other side of the room and gently pushed the window open, and the cold air from outside suddenly penetrated, and I shivered slightly.
And I looked out of the window and saw that the vast snowfield in the distance was pitch black in the night, and even the lights that I had seen before were lit in the camp where they were stationed.
It's true, there was no intention of attacking the city.
Obviously, this is a good thing, as long as there is no war, no one will die, as long as the city is not attacked, there will always be a Cangzhou city between them and the capital, but this abnormality makes me feel a little uneasy.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Could it be that they have other arrangements?
Just thinking about it, I felt that the blood in my whole body was flowing fast, obviously standing on the wind outlet by the window, the cold wind was blowing on my body one after another, but a layer of hot sweat broke out on my forehead.
I have a faint feeling that tonight, I'm afraid it's going to be hard to sleep.
The uneasiness and all kinds of speculation in my heart kept rising, I lay back on the 'bed', I didn't speak again, I didn't even make a move, but the whole person was like a kettle of boiling water, the inside was already boiling to the sky, but I couldn't ask, not even a little inquiry.
Before I 'figured' things out, I certainly couldn't completely dissect my mind to others.
We can only wait until tomorrow, until dawn, and then we can 'figure out' what is going on.

I spent the night slowly in this torment, several times when I was about to be struck by tiredness, and I was about to fall asleep, but my mind always tightened and woke me up again.
Finally, I stayed up until the outside slowly lit up.
Although Pei Yuanxiu is gone, but Song Huaiyi and they must not dare to slack off on me, in the morning, naturally a group of maids came to my room to serve me to freshen up, eat and drink, and after everything was over, I heard the noise below, and when I went out of the 'door', the stage was set up again, and the actors had begun to babble and pull their throats, ready to sing.
Song Huaiyi walked up and said with a smile: "It's a bad season now, and there's nothing to play, so I found another theater troupe today and asked Miss Yan to evaluate it." β
I smiled and said, "Let Song Gong bother." β
"Where, it was an honor for Miss Yan to stay in the Song family, but how could Miss Yan be bored in the future. β
After chatting a few words, let's start singing.
I still kept smiling, sitting on the seat they prepared for me, listening to the play below, but of course my mind was not on this at all, and when I picked up the teacup and drank tea, I saw Song Huaiyi sitting on the other side, but listening very leisurely, one hand was still slowly beating on the small table on the side.
It's very 'fascinating'.
Before, except for accompanying Pei Yuanxiu, he was not so idle.
The head of such a big family, although outsiders seem to be a collection of glory and wealth, must be eating, drinking and having fun every day, but only he knows that the family business also represents his own responsibility, in fact, the parents of these big families, as long as they are not the second generation of the children and the 'chest' without great ambitions, almost none of them can really spend their days so leisurely.
But now Song Huaiyi - Cangzhou City is still surrounded outside, and his people and horses are stationed outside the city, but he himself is here to listen to the play.
This is not right.
Thinking of the quiet last night, the doubts in my heart became more and more serious.
However, I didn't ask a question immediately, but also sat back in my chair and listened to the play below, but during the cutscene, I yawned.
Song Huaiyi heard it immediately, turned his head and saw my tearful appearance, and asked carefully, "What's wrong with Miss Yan, is it a play?"
I hurriedly said: "Song Gong, don't misunderstand, this play is good, the words are good, the chanting is good, and the figure is good." β
"Then Miss Yan's how-"
"Oh, I just, I didn't sleep well last night. β
"Last night?" he frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face: "Last night, there was no arguing with Miss Yan, right?"
"Not really," I said with a smile, "It's rare, I didn't make any noise last night when I came to you, but I'm a person, I was used to the noise outside two days ago, and suddenly it was quiet, but I wasn't used to it." Haha......"
He couldn't help but laugh when he heard me say that.
I laughed and said, "By the way, speaking of which, how could it be so quiet last night?"
Song Huaiyi said lightly: "The noise before was because our people went to Cangzhou City to create 'commotion' and 'chaos', but naturally they didn't do it last night, so it quieted down." β
I frowned slightly: "What does Duke Song mean, don't you plan to fight Cangzhou City again?"
He smiled: "I haven't beaten down for so long, what Childe means is that it's time to rest." β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Speaking of which, let's sing again.
He hung one hand on the corner of the small table, and listened to the voice below very intently, I didn't ask any more, and I made a look of listening attentively to the play.
But the scene was so lively that my heart slowly sank.
I haven't beaten it for so long, so it's time to rest?
Listen to him, is this what Pei Yuanxiu meant?
Before preparing to leave the Song family the night before, Pei Yuanxiu had talked with Song Huaiyi in the study in the middle of the night, could it be that this was the end of the conversation?
Don't fight?
No, absolutely impossible!
Not to mention that there is time for him to meet with Shengjing's soldiers and horses, even if the time is not urgent, they fight like this, not only the people who will be in Cangzhou City, but also their own grain and grass will be consumed, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be involved, all of which are money. In the end of a war, what is fought is money, and what is wanted is profit.
How could he possibly spend time and money, the two most important things here?
However, it was quiet last night, and now the garden is also quiet, and there is no sound of siege outside.
There really wasn't any movement at all.
I don't believe that they will really give up attacking Cangzhou City, but now that there is really no war, could it be that they have begun to doubt me, or rather, suspect some people and things, and want to make an appearance?
But no matter how you behave, the war can't be delayed, that's for sure, no matter how Pei Yuanxiu is, he won't delay his entry into Beijing.
What the hell is going on?
I held back the uneasiness in my heart, as well as the constant surging doubts, I have been listening to the play quietly, after listening to a few plays, seeing that the people below are about to set the table for dinner, I asked Song Huaiyi: "By the way, the old lady didn't come to see the play today?"
As soon as the words fell, I heard a laughing voice say, "My daughter-in-law still remembers me." β
Looking back, Mrs. Zhang was supported by a person and slowly walked in from outside the garden gate.
I don't know if it's because there was no sound outside last night, she rested well, and everyone seemed to be 'refreshed' a lot, I hurriedly greeted her, and as soon as I walked in front of her, I saw that it was no one else who was helping her to come over, it was her grandson - Song Xuan.
This young man in a brocade robe with a handsome face saluted me: "Miss Yan." β
ββ¦β¦ Song Gongzi is rare. β
I didn't recognize him at the first time, because the few times I saw him before, he was all armored and fierce, but this time he appeared in a gorgeous robe, and he didn't look like a general at all, but just a luxurious son.
It made my heart sink a little more.
In the past few days, he has rarely appeared, and there was no him at the reception banquet specially arranged by Song Huaiyi the night before yesterday, because he is used to being in the army, and the war is changing rapidly, he must also be in the army, but he didn't expect to see him at home today, and he was dressed in such a casual outfit.
In other words, the war has really stopped!
My expression was in a trance for a while, and when I came back to my senses, Song Xuanzheng smiled at me and said, "What is Miss Yan thinking? β
"Oh...... Good, good. β
I was helped to the table, and everyone sat down in turn.
Mrs. Zhang still grabbed Song Xuan's hand with one hand, as if she was very emotional: "Xuan'er hasn't eaten at home for a long time. β
"yes, 'milk' 'milk'. β
"Then you say, after eating this meal, you can't leave. Don't leave your 'milk' and 'milk' alone at home. β
Song Xuan saw that his 'milk' and 'milk' were still coquettish with him, but he laughed like an adult, and said: "Since 'milk' and 'milk' said so, then Xuan'er didn't dare to leave again." β
"Really?"
"'Milk' and 'milk' rest assured, at least for the past ten days and half a month, Xuan'er has been at home every day with 'milk' and 'milk'. β
I had my head down, but I looked up at them.
