Chapter 807: The Truth
cpa300_4(); My eyes widened and I shuddered.
Su Su and Gu Ping were also taken aback when they heard the shopkeeper call him so, and Gu Ping stood up almost immediately and looked at the door with a wary expression.
The shopkeeper didn't notice our strangeness at all, and arched his hand to accompany him with a smile: "I don't know if the adults are coming, I don't know if I miss the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." β
I still sat still, but for such a short moment, my palms were covered with cold sweat.
"I don't know if you're comingβ"
"Nothing. I'm just hanging out today. β
As soon as I heard this voice, my blood, which was almost boiling, cooled down again in an instant.
The voice......
There was still some detachment on his body, and he reluctantly turned his head, and saw a man in green clothes standing at the door, his delicate appearance looked a little feminine, but his body was burly and vigorous, and the aura he exuded was more fierce than those strong men.
"Smell - Feng Xi ......"
Standing at the door is the young general Wen Fengxi, who was a blockbuster in the Juma River Valley at the beginning, and now the newly rising young general in the DPRK and China!
Hearing me muttering his name, the shopkeeper was suddenly startled and looked at me in horror, but Wen Fengxi looked calm, as if he was not surprised to see me here, and slowly walked a step further, saying, "It's been a long time." β
I slowly stood up on the edge of the table, looked at Wen Fengxi, and fell silent.
Not him......
Not him......
At that moment, when I heard the shopkeeper called "adult", I almost thought that he was the person who came, but I forgot that he was not the only one who could be called an adult in Jiangnan.
The shopkeeper looked left and right, and immediately seemed to understand something, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to invite him in: "Your Excellency, please." Come and serve tea. β
This shopkeeper is obviously a discerning person, and when he saw this scene, he understood that Wen Fengxi was not here to hang out, but must have come here to tell me, let the guy come in and serve fragrant tea and pastries, and then ordered the door to be closed, leaving this side hall for us to talk to, and I also asked Su Su and Gu Ping to go out first, and let the shopkeeper take them to the warehouse to choose materials. Gu Ping was originally a little uneasy, but seeing that Wen Fengyi and I looked indifferent, not like they were going to have an accident, they reluctantly agreed and stayed outside the door.
As soon as the door closed, the noise outside was cut off.
Wen Fengxi came over and sat opposite me, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then raised his head to look at me, and I didn't speak, just sat silently.
It would be a lie to say that you are not disappointed.
The feeling of emptiness in my heart is a little uncomfortable, even if I know that he has forgotten everything, but after all, it ......
Still want to see him.
I was silent, and Wen Fengxi didn't speak for a while.
I am not too familiar with him, and I can even say that I am unfamiliar, but I know that if I can grow up under Pei Yuanhao, this person must not be simple, I am afraid that as soon as I go ashore today, he will already know my whereabouts, so he will pretend to come here to see me. I just don't know, what the hell is he going to do when he sees me?
The atmosphere in the room became a little awkward, and when it was time not to speak, Wen Fengxi said softly: "You-"
After all, he was still rusty, and when he said this word, he hesitated again.
Instead, I took a deep breath, calmed down for the time being, and said, "I didn't expect to see Master Wen here." β
Wen Fengxi glanced at me: "I've been thinking about seeing you again." β
"Oh?"
"When he came back that day, he asked me if I knew a young lady, and I guessed that he must have seen you when he crossed the river, and I knew that we would always have to meet. β
My breath froze, and my voice became dry: "Heβ"
"That's right, something went wrong with him and he forgot a lot of things. Some of them, when they were still in the capital, slowly recoveredβperhaps, not restored, but accepted. β
"Accept ......"
"Yes, someone sued him, and his past, he accepted it like that. β
Wen Fengxi said very calmly, and I listened very calmly, but no one knew what kind of ordeal I was experiencing.
Someone sued him for the past, and he accepted it.
But what kind of "past" is that?
Perhaps, it was not his past at all, but some people wanted him to remember something, and even more so to forget itβ"the past".
And in that "past", there must be no me!
"But you-" Wen Fengxi raised his head and glanced at me: "He still arrived here and only knew it for the first time." β
The sneer in my heart was almost silent, but I clearly felt a tingling pain in my chest: "No one has told him for so long?"
Wen Fengxi said: "The emperor has a holy decree pressing, who will preface you in front of him, the three clans." β
ββ¦β¦β
Although I felt so uncomfortable, I couldn't help but sneer when I heard this.
It seems that Pei Yuanhao is really guarding tightly.
Afraid that he would think of me, afraid that he would know me, and not even let people mention me, Yue Qingying was wiped out from his world like this.
However, it was not Pei Yuanhao's holy decree that wiped me out.
I asked, "What the hell is going on with him, why is this happening?"
Wen Fengxi took a sip of tea, looked at me in the light smoke rising from the teacup, frowned slightly, and said: "On the night you fled, the fire of Jixian Hall burned all night, and after the fire was extinguished, there was nothing left in it, and he, he was hit in the head by a fallen pillar, and he fainted, because he lost consciousness, so he kept leaning on a red-burned pillar and did not dodge...... You also saw that half of the face was ruined. β
I didn't speak, my hands were on my knees, and my fingers were almost spasmodic in tugging at my dress.
Yes, I saw it.
His face was so terrifying and hideous, it was indeed as rumored by the people of Yangzhou, and his face was as fierce as a yaksha.
However, I still remember how good he was.
That face, a healthy dark complexion, with a deep contour, unlike the appearance of most southerners, with a full forehead and a straight nose, handsome and energetic, especially when he smiled, his snow-white teeth showed a crooked one, and the whole face was glowing, like the sun on the ice, and even made people feel brilliant and brilliant.
It was the appearance that gave me strength countless times when I was at my most lost.
Now, everything has changed.
On his face, there was only indifference and alienation.
That hateful coldness!
Seeing my calm, but already reddened eyes, Wen Fengxi frowned and said, "I know that your relationship is not ordinary, when you were rejecting the horse, he didn't even want to save your life like that." So this time, he came back to mention you, I know that you are in Jiangnan, I think, you will definitely cross the river no matter what, you and him, there must still be something to say, so I have been sending people to patrol the riverside. β
No wonder he came here so quickly.
I looked up at him, and although he was still calm, he spoke in a thick nasal voice: "Then you have something to say to me?"
Wen Fengxi nodded, paused again, and then said: "After the fire in Jixian Palace, although he lost his memory, there are still some people in the court who grasp the fire and your escape, and the emperor must strictly investigate and punish it, and it is the eldest princess who comes forward and bears it with all her might." For more than a year, the emperor has not treated him badly, and even now he is in charge of Yangzhou, under great pressure. β
ββ¦β¦β
"He does have the courage to dare to go into the tiger's den alone to recover Yangzhou, but he can't find a few, and it is also because of this success that the people in the court shut up. β
ββ¦β¦β
"However, the qiΔ he did could be ruined by your appearance. The emperor is still very suspicious of your relationship, otherwise, he would not have made that will......"
The more I listened, the tighter my brow furrowed, and at this time I simply interrupted him.
"Who wants you to say that?"
Wen Fengxi was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent again.
Although he did see through the relationship between me and Qinghan when he was by the river, it was nothing more, I didn't have a deep friendship with him, so why did he come to me and say these words, and he pointed out everything.
I frowned and said, "Is it Fu Badai?"
Wen Fengxi didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence.
I gritted my teeth hard, but because of the loss of strength all over my body, my teeth were a little clenched, Wen Fengxi seemed to groan, and then raised his head to look at me, and said, "Fu Lao has a big opinion on him. β
I was a little surprised by this.
I looked at him in surprise, but I saw that Feng Xi's calm expression also had a trace of worry, as if he had just said something unspoken, and couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean?"
Wen Fengxi glanced at me again, but did not speak immediately, but pondered for a while before slowly saying: "Although I don't know much about Fu Lao, as a sage, he still has some heard. But this time, when Lord Liu was seriously injured and did not wake up, we all went to visit the adult's mansion, and Elder Fu also went. β
"Soβ"
"It's the first time I've seen someone lose their temper like that. β
ββ¦β¦β
My eyes widened in surprise.
What he said was that it was the first time he had seen a person lose his temper like this, not the first time he had seen Fu Badai lose his temper like this, that is to say, Fu Badai's situation at that time was unprecedented?
"He, why did he lose his temper?"
Wen Fengxi's face was also a little pale at this moment, and he was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Fu Lao, he didn't scold or beat anyone, but he stood in front of the bed, and the whole person seemed to be lifeless, and everyone was worried about whether he would faint." As a result, he pointed to Lord Liu, who was still unconscious, and said four words. β
"What?"
"Don't die well. β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
It was as if a heavy hammer had smashed into the back of my head, shaking me completely at a loss, I stared at Wen Fengxi with wide eyes, and the whole person lost consciousness.
After a long while, he barely regained his voice: "What?"
"Don't die well. Wen Fengxi repeated again: "Old Fu, that's how you scolded him." β
I gasped.
Although, although I don't really regard this Shu sage as an immortal like the rest of the world, I still respect and respect an old man like him, but I never imagined that this "sage" would say such things to his own disciples!
This is not even a scolding, in my opinion, it is simply a kind of "swearing"!
I only felt cold sweat all over my body, and I was a little anxious: "Why did he scold him so much?"
Wen Fengxi clasped his hands, his thick fingers were also a little white, and said: "A few of us thought that Fu Lao was angry, and the eldest princess was also anxious at that time, so we hurriedly invited Fu Lao out, everyone was originally persuading Fu Lao, just say that if a palace is burned, it will be burned, as long as people are fine." Besides, the Jixian Palace, the emperor immediately issued an order to rebuild it, which was not a big deal, but Fu Lao said that he was not angry at all about the burning of the Jixian Palace. β
"And why is he?"
"For his ancient books. β
"Ancient books?!" my heart skipped a beat.
Ancient books! In the Jixian Palace, those classics!
Fu Badai was fortunate enough to bring the ancient books from Shu to the capital, but in that fire, they were all reduced to ashes.
Yes, I still remember that night when the fire dragon roared, but if it weren't for the light cold that ignited those ancient books, the fire wouldn't have burned so fast, and I wouldn't have had that much time to escape from prison.
Before, I had always been concerned about the injury and condition of the light cold, and I had almost forgotten this small detail, but now when I mentioned it, I only felt that my heart suddenly sank, and I was even suffocating my breath.
I seem to understand why Fu Badai cursed like that.
Wen Fengxi said: "Elder Fu said, he is not scolding Lord Liu, nor is he angry, but-" When he said this, he seemed to be a little intelligible, and he couldn't go on.
But I've got it all right.
Those ancient books, most of them, are already the only ones that have survived in the world, are the classics written by the saints in the early ancient period, the Central Plains Dynasty has been wars several times, many cultural civilizations have disappeared, and only Shu has avoided several wars, but also because some literati fled into Shu with these ancient books for refuge, and fortunately survived a part.
It is not as simple as a few books, but the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient sages, and the cultural lifeblood of the nation!
But now, he was burned by Liu Qinghan!
He burned more than just a few books.
What he burns is culture!
The fire he lit saved a person, but it made a civilization forever broken!
At this time, I suddenly remembered that he had come back to me after he had lit the Jixian Hall that night, and when he held me, the whole person trembled like a leaf in the cold wind, and the helplessness that was almost crazy was almost crazy, and I thought he was afraid.
He was indeed afraid, but he was not afraid of Pei Yuanhao, and he was not even afraid of Fu Badai.
What he is afraid of is himself, that he will do such an evil, which is a crime more serious than murder, rebellion, and any heinous crime!
He is a sinner of culture, a sinner of the nation!
Therefore, Fu Badai said that he must not die well, that is not a curse, but an assertion!
As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly felt a chill in my bones, and it almost made my whole body shiver.
Really?
For me, he committed such a big crime, and he really would-
Come to a sticky end?!
Seeing that my whole body was trembling, Wen Fengxi seemed to want to say something, but after all, I didn't get to that with him, and he didn't say anything to comfort me, just sat quietly, and after being silent for a long time, he spoke again: "These words were brought by Fu Lao before, but in fact, I also want to tell you-"
I was still a little helpless, raised my head, and looked at him with a pale face: "What did you say?"
"He and I still have a lot of things we want to do in Jiangnan, but there are many voices in the court, some are dissatisfied with me, and some are even more dissatisfied with him. But if even the emperor doesn't support us anymore, thenβ"
He didn't finish his words, but looking at his frowning brows and deep eyes, I fully understood.
Wen Fengxi's rise was when the Shen family was eradicated in the Juma River Valley, Pei Yuanhao spent a lot of effort to cultivate him, but the emperor's strength could not be used in the army, he had no military merits, nor did he have any merit in governing the world, and those other generals in the court naturally disagreed with him; γ
Although Shen Gongyun has fallen, he is jealous and jealous, this is the root of people's inferiority, and it is the same for everyone.
Therefore, these two young officials want to show their strength in Jiangnan and block Youyou's mouth.
The corners of my mouth hooked slightly, looked at Wen Fengxi, and said, "So, I'm your stumbling block?"
Wen Fengxi was silent for a while, and said, "You can also say that." β
In the end, he was born in the army, and although he knows how to talk and do things, he also has straight times.
Perhaps, he was right.
I'm not with him, he's only going to get better.
He would be better off without me.
Although I have always known this fact, realizing it only makes me more miserable.
Wen Fengxi looked at me and didn't speak again, I was silent for a while, and said, "However, I am a prisoner of the imperial court, do you really not arrest me?"
Wen Fengxi shook his head: "We went south this time, and the emperor didn't explain your affairs." He just reminded repeatedly that this time he went south, he must be lenient and not let the war break out again in Jiangnan. Since you're already going to marry, marry that person, arresting you will only provoke war. β
I smiled, and my smile was full of misery.
Wen Fengxi said: "In short, I hope that even if you appear in front of him, you must not mention your past." You have to know that he has forgotten about you, and even if he mentions it, it will only make him uncomfortable in vain. However, as soon as something happens to you, tens of millions of Li people on both sides of the Yangtze River will be implicated. β
I glanced at him and smiled faintly, as if I was crying, even though it was a smile.
"It's rare that you, as a military general, can still think like this. It seems that the emperor is right to send the two of you to Jiangnan. β
He looked at me and didn't say anything more.
At this point, he and I were almost speechless, but I thought about it for a moment and said, "By the way, I have one more thing I want to ask you about." β
"You say. β
"Queen Mother, is she okay now?
Wen Fengxi looked at me in surprise.
I was trembling at his glance, and somehow I immediately felt uneasy, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
"So you don't know yet. β
"Do you know what?
Wen Fengxi shook his head lightly and said: "The fire in Jixian Hall at the beginning, and the news of your escape reached the palace, the queen mother was shocked, although her body was inconvenient, but she still insisted on accompanying the emperor to Jixian Hall to see, and the result-"
"What happened?!"
"I don't know the specific situation, but I heard from my sister that the queen mother was too worried, and the palace people who searched for the ruins of Jixian Hall only said that it had collapsed, and as a result, her stomach suddenly hurt, although she immediately sent the imperial doctor, she was not saved. β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
It was as if a thunderbolt exploded overhead, and my whole body was stunned, and I looked at him with wide eyes: "You say."
