Chapter 182: Cousin

There were already many people passing by who were pointing at the two of them, Zhu Yifei turned his head and glared at them one by one, until those idle and boring people were frightened by her appearance and scattered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, I'm too tired" sighed without any image, turned around and sat on the stone steps in front of the mansion gate, before it was hot, I saw the guard come out and said, "You two go in, our lord is waiting."

Zhu Yifei stood up and walked into the palace with Qingli, the Taishou Mansion is very large, three in and three out of the courtyard, the entrance is the yatang, the office place, a straight corridor is divided into left and right in front of the closed yamen, stretching straight to the symmetrical two arches, the two followed the lead along the corridor, and walked to a hall in the backyard to stand.

The little brother who led the way arched his hand inward and said, "My lord, the two of you will bring it."

"Well, please come in" Zhu Yifei was stunned when she heard this, and her heart was suddenly overjoyed, and she was about to speak, but she suddenly endured it again, and her eyes wrinkled melancholy.

The instantly unpredictable look did not escape Qingli's eyes, he detoured in front of Zhu Yifei, pushed open the door and shouted: "Wen Han, I haven't seen you for a long time"

Sure enough, after hearing the familiar name, Zhu Yifei couldn't help but beat in her heart, stood in front of the door and hesitated for a few seconds before following in.

"Big cousin, why did you get here, how did you get like this, oh, this is ........ Yifei?"

"Hehehe, Wen Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect it to be you" Zhu Yifei smiled awkwardly, looking at his much thinner face, he was still elegant, but a little decadent and lonely, and he was no longer as high-spirited as he was back then.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, are you okay?" Huai Wenhan's voice was a little hoarse.

"Very good, why are you here?" didn't Yan Han say that the Huai family was reused? They should be in the capital.

"It's a long story, come quickly, come and sit down, prepare tea" Huai Wenhan exclaimed softly, and a young woman came up with tea and snacks, dressed in plain clothes, with a filial piety belt tied in her hair, and she was the most favored maid cherry around Mu's.

"Unexpectedly, you are acquaintances, so I don't need to introduce you" Qingli smiled and took a sip of tea.

"Why are you two so embarrassed, aren't you being a bandit?" asked Huai Wenhan looking at Qingli's gray face.

"Hey, it's a long story, I'm going to be tired of my brother, can you take a rest first" Qingli was not polite, just like going to his own mansion.

"Cherry, go prepare water and food, Yifei, you can also go wash up" Huai Wenhan smiled.

"Well, okay, I'll talk to you again that night" Even though he was very anxious, his appearance was really unsightly, and besides, it was not a good place for so many people to plot.

After taking a bath and eating some fruits, the side effect of excessive consumption of true qi was that I was sleepy, and finally I leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep with a grape in my mouth.

In a daze, he seemed to hear two familiar voices talking, and one of them said, "Cousin, how did you get acquainted with Yifei?"

"In the middle of the night the day before yesterday, she came to the door with a little monk of five or six years old, I see that you are very familiar with her?"

"When I was in the capital last year, my mother accepted a righteous daughter, who was Yifei"

"Oh, that's half my cousin."

"Aren't you in Guanshan County? Why did you come all the way here?"

"It's not for the bandits, I wish the girl is here to borrow soldiers from you"

"Borrowed soldiers?"

"Well, that's what she said."

"Then you're going to suppress the bandits?"

"Well, she said that she has been undercover in the cottage for many days, and she basically figured out the situation"

"I see"

"Cousin, do you plan to lend her troops or do you lead troops to suppress the bandits?"

"Without the seal of the imperial court and the emperor's secret decree, it is a crime to kill the head to transfer troops without permission, and besides, I am afraid that this matter will affect you"

"I came to you with all the trouble to find you, just to tell you, if I wish the girl can really succeed in suppressing the bandits, you must not leave a living"

"Hmph, you killed your wife and children for the sake of Wanguan's family wealth, and conspired with thieves, if it weren't for my dead aunt's sake..."

"Good cousin, I beg you for my brother, since you and her know each other, and they are half of our relatives, you must not divulge this matter, besides, you also know the situation in Guanshan County, I am a businessman, and everything I do is a last resort."

"That's it, my grandmother is dead, my mother and father have also died of illness one after another, you are my aunt's only flesh and blood, it can be regarded as a comfort for my grandmother's soul in the sky."

"Thank you, cousin, I'm grateful for my brother."

After the two finished talking, the footsteps gradually faded away, and after a while, there was a sound of pushing the door, Zhu Yifei fell asleep in a daze, but her consciousness was surprisingly awake, and she only felt that someone picked herself up and put her on the bed, and stared intently, but unfortunately her body was heavy and tired, as if her soul was frozen, she struggled a few times, and she couldn't wake up if she wanted to.

"I heard that the emperor sealed the fairy concubine Niangniang, and she is very fond of her, isn't it you?"

"Probably not, otherwise how would you appear in front of me, that snowy day, I looked back at the towering city gate countless times, hoping to see you, but until the frost was white, I still didn't see you, sitting in the cold carriage, I felt that my heart was cold, cold to pain, pain to numbness"

"I always thought that I had already broken my heart, and I could let go of all my heart like stopping water, the Huai family suffered such a great change, how could you be alone? But you are really hard-hearted, and you even refused to come to send a ride."

"I've been waiting for you to beg me, but I didn't expect that if I really waited, you said, this time, should I charge some interest?"

"The second brother always says I'm stupid, but only I know that I'm stupid just because I met you."

Huai Wenhan looked at the woman lying on the bed and muttered to himself, stretched out his hand to touch the face that haunted him, but he trembled and took it back at the moment when he was about to touch it, then sighed, carefully covered the quilt and got up and opened.

Zhu Yifei felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and a sense of remorse arose, like a surging torrent, which spread throughout her body in an instant, and the bitter feeling was like a bowl of freshly cooked yellow lotus soup, which entered from her mouth, but it was astringent all over her limbs, and she never retreated.

Life is like a dream, the sea is up and down, although the Huai family has some intentions to take advantage of, but at least Wen Han is sincere to her, and what she complains about is that she is a little too ruthless and too thorough.

It was not until the end of the evening that he slowly walked slowly, opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, and after his mind gradually woke up from the chaos, the whole body felt sore, especially the shoulders and two arms, almost like a mountain that had moved for a day.

"Are you awake?" Huai Wenhan suddenly pushed the door in, and saw her hair in a disheveled bun, disheveled appearance, confused like a wild cat, and always returned with a sense of déjà vu, as if the two were in Huaifu at the moment, and she lived in the next wing of his courtyard.

"Well, ah" Zhu Yifei rubbed his eyes, he was really tired, he thought about it and fell on the bed, and after a while, he finally remembered that he still had a heavy responsibility to do, so he sat up and put on his shoes, stared at Huai Wenhan with big eyes, "By the way, what time is it now?"

"It's a moment, what's wrong? You don't look very good" Just a little girl had a light in her palm, and the room suddenly became brighter, Huai Wenhan saw that Zhu Yifei's forehead was full of sweat, her earlier round chin had been sharpened, and a pair of eyes that were not quite the same as before looked dull and abnormal, and her whole face was bloodless, and her white and weak made people feel a little distressed.

"By the way, I have something to ask you for" Zhu Yifei cut her hair slightly, then sat opposite Huai Wenhan, looked at the two maids in front of the door and said, "You have to let them go down first"

Huai Wenhan nodded, and after ordering everyone to leave, only the two of them were left in the empty bedroom, Zhu Yifei was just about to speak when she found that Qingli was missing and asked, "What about your cousin?"

"Oh, he didn't worry about family matters, so he went back first" Huai Wenhan picked up the teacup and hid the complicated look in his eyes.

"Well, he went first for such a long journey?" Zhu Yifei felt a little strange and asked uncertainly.

"He has all his wealth at home, and he has always been a person who is reluctant to leave mundane things, and it is not easy to accompany you on a trip this time."

"Isn't he afraid of being eaten by wild beasts on the official road?" After thinking for a long time, I remembered the legend in the area of Yangjiling, Lu Fengmin died in that area, is it possible that Qingli is not afraid?

"My cousin has always been a ruthless person, thanks to your thaumaturgical style, otherwise I am afraid that I will die on the road" Huai Wenhan said coldly.

"I'm almost out of half my life" Zhu Yifei didn't pay attention to the deep meaning of Huai Wenhan's words, so she thought that since she was gone, she would leave, and it would be more convenient and faster when she went back.

"This time, I'm here to do things for Yan Han, probably like this......" Zhu Yifei told him all the things about how he came out of Taijing City, entered the bandits' den, and then escaped again, and almost didn't hide it.

"Such a dangerous thing, how can the emperor only send you out alone" Huai Wenhan was so excited when he heard this, and even his emotions were a little out of control.

"Hey, this is not dangerous, I live like this every day, and now the main discussion is how to completely encircle and suppress the bandits, I have a plan" Zhu Yifei leaned his head closer, and said mysteriously and proudly.

"What plan" Seeing her like this, Huai Wenhan's anger and resentment turned into finger twisting.

"Do you know about the princess of the country?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I heard that they are a mountain of bandits who want to rob the wedding team of the country together, and they are all dispatched, this is a good opportunity"

"But it will take more than a month for the team to send relatives here."

"Well, how do you know so well?"

"The documents of the imperial court have been issued, and the holy decree has been announced to the world, from the border of Yaozhou, which is the border of Yanwu Country, General Lu has already protected it closely, and even broadcast a team of heavy soldiers to escort it, and the county guards and county orders along the road are busy clearing obstacles and preparing, and they have arrived in Lu'an County the day before yesterday."

"Rub, it's just a princess, it's such a big battle" Zhu Yifei said with some jealousy, she was heartbroken in her desperate efforts to protect her family and defend the country, and there were servants to take care of her and guards to protect her safety throughout the whole process.

"It is said that this time she is married to Princess Lingxiu, the first beauty of the Cong Kingdom, and she is about to enter the harem as a concubine, and she has formed an alliance between the two countries," Huai Wenhan smiled when he saw her.

"The first beauty, is there any beauty for me?" narcissist rubbed his face and asked with a smile at Huai Wenhan.
