Chapter 137: Defeated
Shen Yan thought about Li Chengmao's words all the way, and was a little flustered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć I don't know how far away it is from Qinxin Garden, and when she raised her eyes again, she saw Li Chengqi standing on the road not far away with an unhappy face. She composed, and approached him calmly.
"What are you doing when you go to Qinxin Garden to see the second brother?" Li Chengqi asked coldly. He looked at Shen Yan's expression, like looking at an cheating wife at this moment, but not all. In this expression, there seemed to be a little worry.
"Let me ask, why did the second master call Gu Yuan to the house to catch the six girls." Shen Yan didn't think it was a big deal, and replied easily, and soon changed the conversation and asked, "Did the six girls come back with you?" ā
"Then what is the result of your question?" Li Chengqi didn't answer her words, but only asked her tightly.
She shook her head, "The second master only said that he didn't like the six girls. ā
Li Chengqi's nervous heart suddenly relaxed. The color on his face also looked much better, "The sixth girl is gone." Failed to keep the six girls, so he went back to Yuxiangyuan, but he heard the servant woman of Yuxiangyuan say that Shen Yan had come to Qinxin Garden, so he hurried over, for fear that Li Chengmao would tell her about taking his wife.
"You failed to keep her? Can you rest assured? Shen Yan thought that he must have to maintain a promise to her here, so he didn't promise to give the sixth girl a name, and the sixth girl left.
She didn't think it was a good thing. Originally, I got it, but it became a habit after a long time, and if I didn't get it, would my heart keep thinking about it and reading it?
"If she really wants to leave, how can I keep it." Sure enough, when Li Chengqi said this, his face was not calm.
As a matter of fact. Shen Yan didn't expect the six girls to be so stubborn. She only wished that the six girls were gone. Then it will never happen again.
Not long after, Li Chengmao of Qinxin Garden heard that the six girls had left the Hou Mansion. was also taken aback, but then he smiled slightly, and sighed: The eldest brother did not let Yan'er down because of this wild girl.
However, neither he nor Shen Yan knew what Li Chengqi said after chasing the six girls.
However, anyway, with the departure of the six girls. The Hou Mansion finally restored the lively and peaceful atmosphere that it should have when the New Year was approaching, even the Jiao family, and only regarded this matter as a passing cloud, and did not say much.
Soon, Jiao Huaiyu also returned from the capital. She brought the good news that she was pregnant, and that the master predicted that she was pregnant with a boy. Such news added joy to the Hou Mansion.
After the New Year, the whole country was in a state of extreme fear. It is said that the army that Wesley brought to attack Nanzhao was defeated and retreated. Several more cities in the Northern Zhou Dynasty fell. Wesley's division was not at all the opponent of Sima Wenyong's division, the undefeated general of Nanzhao, and even the current Great Zhou army was terrified when they heard the name of Sima Wenyong.
Rumor. This Sima Wen is brave and good at fighting, and as his name suggests, he is not just a general who fights on the battlefield. His literary attainments have also reached a commendable level. And what's even more embarrassing is that this civil and military wizard. is only seventeen years old, and in Nanzhao, he is still an American and Chinese man who looks polite.
The news that the Weasley army was defeated by this stinky boy frightened the imperial court, and also worried Li Chengqi, Li Chengmao, and Shen Yan. And their worries are different. Li Chengqi and Shen Yan were worried, but whether Huo Qing and the others would be able to return smoothly, and compared to this, Li Chengmao was more worried about the safety of his real eldest brother Wesley.
It snowed heavily that day, and the ground was covered with a thick white color. Shen Yan was wearing a red cloak, and when she went to the main courtyard alone, Li Chengmao deliberately stopped her.
"Sister-in-law, can you know that in the crucial battle of Yaocheng, the Wei army will provide false information, which will cause the Wei army to lose troops and generals, and there is no room for turnaround?"
Li Chengmao's expression when he spoke, although he was not serious or blamed, but Shen Yan saw it and felt that Wesley's defeat had something to do with him.
"Is it Gu Chongzhi's people who made trouble?" Actually, Shen Yan can guess without asking, probably that's exactly the case, but is she really to blame for this? When she said provocative words in front of Gu Chongzhi, she just thought that he would make the means more troublesome to Wesley, how could she have thought that Weasley would be so unbearable?
Originally, Wesley's life or death had nothing to do with her, and Da Zhou's loss of the city had nothing to do with her, but if she thought that these would affect the smooth return of Huo Qing and Jiao Huaiqing, she was a little annoyed that she only cared about the speed of her tongue and only cared about venting her hatred, and did not think long-term.
"Then Gu Chongzhi can't do anything for personal gain?" Li Chengmao affirmed, "The rebellion of Lord Wei's subordinates must be related to Gu Chongzhi." ā
Shen Yan was silent. This time, she confessed. However, she suddenly smiled and asked tentatively, "If Master Wei has three long and two short, will you resent me?" ā
Li Chengmao was stunned. Where did he think about who he wanted to resent? It's just that...... He couldn't tell why he was, after hearing the news that Wesley had lost the battle and was very sad now, he wanted to explain it to her when he saw Shen Yan again, and he didn't blame her. How could he blame her? He thought about it and asked Shen Yan: "You hate Master Wei so much?" ā
"yes, I don't think he's a good guy." Shen Yan confessed, "If everything hadn't changed, if he was still your eldest brother, when I was killed, did you think he would save me?" I died a long time ago. Although, if everything hadn't changed, her Shen family would not have been involved in the affairs of the government, and the ending would be the same as in the previous life, but she still had to say such ifs, just to find a reason for herself to hate Li Chengqi in front of Li Chengmao.
She thought that Li Chengmao would be speechless, but what she didn't expect was that Li Chengmao actually sneered and said firmly: "If everything hasn't changed, if he is still my eldest brother, you will be my wife." It's a wife, a big brother couldn't give it before, can't give it now, and I can't give it in the future, I can give it. ā
The topic returned to this matter, which made Shen Yan feel nervous inexplicably. She didn't argue with him, didn't overthink him, and strode towards the main courtyard.
Li Chengqi in the main courtyard was alone in the study. Shen Yan saw him pacing back and forth from the outside, through the window paper. The defeat of the Great Zhou Dynasty made him think a lot, and Shen Yan often did this these days.
Shen Yan watched and didn't enter the house for a long time. She only felt that Li Chengqi at this time was the most attractive. At this time, Li Chengqi, who was bent on big plans and gave full play to his own talents, was impeccable. Even when I saw him like this from a distance, I felt a feeling of liking, which spread from Shen Yan's heart to her whole body, with indescribable joy and excitement.
A pigeon, flying down on the windowsill. When Li Chengqi heard the sound, he hurriedly walked over and plucked a creed from the pigeon's legs. After reading the contents of the creed, he smiled. He opened the door of the study and saw Shen Yan standing in the white snow wearing a bright red cloak, very beautiful, and even more full of joy. He handed the creed to Shen Yan for her to read, and said in a low voice, "We will have an incident soon." ā
Shen Yan saw that the note read, "Lacquer dragon's eye, the treasure has also been transferred", and her happy heart almost jumped out, but when she heard Li Chengqi's high-spirited words, she was frightened back. Something will happen soon? She didn't expect it to be so fast, she didn't know if it was appropriate to start things so quickly.
"Are you all set?" She asked Li Chengqi cautiously and expectantly. Perhaps, he made a lot of preparations, which she didn't know.
"It's the right time." Li Chengqi was full of confidence, "The loyal ministers and some old ministers who were oppressed by the imperial court were persuaded and won over by my subordinates. When Nanzhao invaded, it was the day we waited for the incident. ā
In this way, the Great Zhou Dynasty led by the new emperor Liu Zhuo will really fall into a situation of internal and external troubles.
"This is a big deal, I don't understand," Shen Yan said, "but if you are really ready, I will happily support you and look forward to your success." ā
Li Chengqi smiled and hugged her tightly into his arms. He said, "When I became emperor, I made you queen." ā
Hearing this, Shen Yan's brain boomed, and her heart quickly jumped up. She hadn't thought about it. She raised her eyes and opened her mouth to say something, but Li Chengqi let go of her and said, "I'll write a letter to Huo Qing." She smiled and nodded, and let him go to the study.
When Li Chengqi walked to the door, he suddenly turned back. He took Shen Yan's hand and looked at her eyes gently, "Yan'er, you don't have to worry about anything, just believe me desperately." Can you do it? ā
Looking at his gentle gaze, Shen Yan was inexplicably moved. She nodded, truly like a virtuous wife. She whispered, "Go get busy." ā
Li Chengqi turned around, his back straightened, and he looked like a hero who was a hero of the world.
"Master Hou," Shen Yan suddenly called him. She rarely called him that way to his presence. When he looked back, she asked him, "Wesley was defeated, and even if he returned, the court would not give him good fruit to eat." But as long as he doesn't return to the court, the Tiger Talisman of Troop Transfer is in his hands, and you may be able to take the opportunity to ......" Speaking of this, Li Chengqi smiled. She knew that he understood what she meant.
"If you don't remind me, I can't think of that." Li Chengqi was overjoyed, "I will let Huaiqing handle this matter." ā
Shen Yan nodded with a smile. It is very suitable for Jiao Huaiqing to persuade Wesley to join Li Chengqi's forces. She didn't say it, Li Chengqi couldn't think of these words for a while, which made her happy. She thought that by Li Chengqi's side, she could think of things he couldn't think of, and doing something for him would prove that she still had some value.
In the more than a year since she came to the Hou Mansion, she has never been so happy and excited as she is today. She is calm again, and after leaving the main courtyard, she has become much brisker to walk.
However, she got carried away and was finally seen by Wei Min and Jiao Huaiyu, who was diagnosed as pregnant but still had a flat belly.
"Why is Sister Yan'er so happy? Isn't there a happy event happening? From afar, Jiao Huaiyu looked innocent, and walked over with Wei Min on snowflakes one after another, so that Shen Yan had to hide her happiness. (To be continued.) )
