Chapter 540: After Farewell
In the blink of an eye, the night was dark and quiet, the sound of rain outside the curtain was getting louder and louder, and the air was getting hotter and more humid. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tonight's departure mountain house, the lights went out very early, before the arrival of the Zhengzheng, the yard was already dark, except for the "whooshing" rain, there was no sound.
About a moment, in the west wing, a bean lamp suddenly lit up, and a beautiful shadow was projected by the light on the side of the window screen, but Qin Suzheng was sitting alone in front of the desk, waiting for Mr. Ying's arrival.
Ninja stood outside the curtain, looking out at the dark courtyard.
The rain was pouring down, and the eaves were filled with the sound of popping beans.
Such a rainy night, although the road is slippery and the stars and moon are dark, it is really a good time to act secretly, and the sound of rain alone can hide most of the movement.
After waiting for a while, the candle flame on the case flickered suddenly, and Qin Su looked intently, and saw that there were suddenly two more people in the curtain, one of them was a heroic old man, who looked to be about fifty years old, with a short beard, and was in good spirits, while the other person was a burly and handsome man, about twenty-seven or eight years old.
"Mr. Ying is here. Qin Su got up and said, with a light smile on his face.
Mr. Ying, that is, the old man, waved his hand at Qin Su and said, "The old man is fortunate to have brought people back. ”
Qin Su smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Ying for your help, you have helped me do a lot of things in Shangjing, you are really sorry." ”
Qin Su had found a lot of news before, some of which needed to be corroborated by someone from Shangjing, so she sent a letter to Mr. Ying, and Mr. Ying stayed in Shangjing for a few more days and got people out. With this delay, they came back much later.
Mr. Ying did not take credit, and politely waved his hand to Qin Su and said, "Don't dare." The lady's business is the lord's business, and I will do my best. ”
Qin Su asked, "Where is that person settled now?"
Mr. Ying said: "Back girl, because the abandoned garden in Pingcheng is still not very convenient after all, Ah Ren arranged a small courtyard, and now everyone is locked in it, and someone has been assigned to guard it strictly. ”
"That's fine. Qin Su was slightly relieved, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again: "My Uncle Zhong, you didn't alarm it, did you?"
Mr. Ying smiled: "Naturally, there is none. The Zhong family is now busy with the affairs of Cao Yun, the family is in chaos, and the two Lang Jun of the Zhong family are not at home, so the manpower in the house is a little chaotic, Mrs. Zhong is anxious all day long, where can I take care of one less person and one more person?"
Qin Su also laughed and said, "I asked more." After that, he turned to the young man who had been standing next to him, and said softly: "I heard that you were hit by an arrow halfway, and now your injuries are healed?"
The young man didn't dare to speak, so Mr. Ying said, "This is your lord, why don't you come to the ceremony?"
The man seemed to be in awe of Mr. Ying, and when he heard this, he took a step forward, bowed and said, "I have seen the lord." ”
"What a courtesy. Qin Su smiled and pointed to the armchair on the side, and said lightly, "Please take a seat." ”
The young man looked cramped and did not dare to sit down.
Qin Su picked up the teapot on the side, poured a cup of tea carefully, and said with a light smile: "After the Taomu Stream parted, you and I only met in a hurry in Shangjing, and then separated. Today's reunion, the demeanor of the high chivalry is still the same, which is really desirable. ”
As soon as these words came out, the young man's face changed suddenly, and he immediately knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are guilty of capital crimes." ”
"It's not a capital offense, let's get up quickly. Qin Su looked disapproving, waved his sleeves again, and said half-jokingly: "In that game of Taomujian, you Gao Ling and Gao Xia didn't succeed after all, as far as I am concerned, this is not a crime." ”
Looking at her bright and calm face, Gao Ling's face finally showed a trace of shame.
This Gao Ling is the "chivalrous warrior" who drew his sword to help him in the peach wood stream and intended to infiltrate the Qin Mansion, and he is also the person who Qin Su has been waiting for a long time today.
"Sit down, I have something to say to you. Qin Su gave up his seat to him again, and the smile on his face was very peaceful.
Gao Ling's expression moved slightly, and he turned to look at the side, only to find that Mr. Ying had left without knowing when.
"Mr. Ying has already left, and Gao Xia Shi should sit down first. Qin Su said with a smile.
Seeing that her words were sincere, Gao Ling took a seat according to her words, looked around again, and asked slightly uneasily: "The lord called me here late at night, what are your orders?"
Not to mention anything else, just looking at his attitude at the moment, Qin Su was extremely satisfied.
"Does the high chivalrous man recognize me as the lord now?" she said with a smile, her eyes flashing with determination.
Gao Ling smiled bitterly at himself, and said: "Now Gao is just a lost dog, if there was no owner to take him in, I am afraid that he would have become a pile of white bones long ago." The lord's life-saving grace, Gao remembered it in his heart and did not dare to forget it. ”
You have a vision.
Qin Su smiled at the corner of his mouth and pursed his lips silently.
Gao Ling also sat with his head down, his mind churning with the experience of more than a year.
Back then, Taomujian was broken by Qin Su by the hands of the Xue family, and since then, Gao Ling has been stared at by the Xue family, even if he returns to Dadu, there is always a tail behind him.
What's even worse is that in addition to the Xue family, Gao Ling also has a feeling: the people who hired him to sneak into Qingzhou Qin Mansion seem to be secretly staring at him.
He was originally from the rivers and lakes, and his sense of smell was still quite sensitive, and at that time he clearly realized that there were people in the capital who wanted his life.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Ling simply took the Xue family as his guard, always wandering around under the nose of the Xue family, on the surface leisurely, but in secret, he never gave up the idea of escaping from the capital.
Last autumn, Gao Ling easily found an opportunity, sneaked out of Dadu, and was about to go north, who thought that as soon as this box appeared, he was caught by Li Xuandu's people, Li Xuandu used the Tang State caravan as a convoy to escort the prisoners, and took Gao Ling all the way to Shangjing.
And the person Qin Su was taken to the deserted garden by Li Xuandu and saw was Gao Ling.
"In the matter of Yingchuan, I still have to thank Gao Xia Shi for helping. Qin Su waved his hand at him, then pointed to the tea cup on the table, and said in a harmonious voice: "Let's take a sip of tea first, I have other things to tell you today." ”
Gao Ling was no longer polite at this time, picked up the teacup and drank it all, and said solemnly: "The lord doesn't have to call me a chivalrous man, just call me Gao Ling." I was also entrusted by others for what I did that day, and I am very grateful that the Lord did not blame me. ”
Qin Su brushed his sleeves and said: "Since this is the case, then I won't be reluctant, just call you Gao Ling." Now that you have talked about the events of the past, I am still about to ask, was the only order you received back then to 'sneak into the Qin Mansion'?"
