Chapter 163: Under Heaven
For some reason, when he learned that Shen Yan was going to betray Li Chengqi because of An Yangping, Huo Qing was extremely angry. www.biquge.info In his opinion, Shen Yan should be Li Chengqi's, and Shen Yan should be single-minded and distracted by Li Chengqi. Shen Yan's betrayal of Li Chengqi made him as indignant as the betrayal of his beloved woman to her.
Originally, for such a "watery poplar" woman, she sealed her throat with a sword and then went back to the palace to tell Li Chengqi that she was dead, but he couldn't kill her, as if he and Li Chengqi also loved her deeply.
Repeatedly clenched his sword, he failed to pull the blade out. And in the face of his begging, he was even more annoyed and at a loss.
"Huo Huwei, when I entered the Hou Mansion, the emperor had already done something that could not be done to me because of his selfishness. I don't blame him, but I don't can't stand him by making such a choice today. Shen Yan did not use An Yangping's life as an excuse, but said such a reasoned thing.
She thought that if she had followed the gentle-tempered Li Chengmao, she might still be able to keep an innocent body for An Yangping, let alone have children...... Of course, as a mother, she still loves her child Li Han deeply, but if Yan Ruyu and Li Chengqi had no selfish intentions at the beginning, they would be in a different situation now. Li Chengqi had selfish intentions at the beginning, and now, she can also have her own selfishness.
"But the emperor cherishes you so much." Huo Qing was still angry. He didn't talk much, but he couldn't help but say a few more words now, "What was that selfishness at the beginning?" The emperor thinks about you all the time, are you still not satisfied? ”
His voice was low and deep, word by word, as if he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart. He looked at Shen Yan closely. I was expecting to see a hint of guilt on her face. However, when he said these words. Shen Yan's rebuttal is even more reasonable.
"Is that selfish?" Shen Yan asked rhetorically, "Do you know that selfishness is enough to change my fate?" Woman. Is it really what you men can do whatever you want? She paused, softened her tone and continued: "If the emperor really cherishes me, even if he knows the truth, he will understand me sooner or later." If I don't understand it, it can only mean that he cherishes me, and it is just a hegemony of his desires. ”
From Huo Qing's reaction, she could guess that as Li Chengqi's confidant, he also knew about that incident. So, after that, she said no more. Deliberately looking at him with a bit of resentment, she stood up on her own and strode in a direction she didn't know.
She seemed to have succeeded, Huo Qing got up, didn't stop her, just looked at her straightening her waist, proud and independent. Drifting away.
Shen Yan, who left, soon met the people who came out to find her in the General's Mansion.
Seeing her return to the General's Mansion, An Yangping and Li Chengmao both breathed a sigh of relief. Sima Wenyong asked Shen Yan half-jokingly: "You shouldn't have deliberately let Huo Qing escape, right?" ”
For his suspicions, Shen Yan smiled. Unabashedly: "Is it intentional, isn't the result the same?" ”
She didn't even make up a lie! The corners of Sima Wenyong's lips were raised, revealing a deflated smile. He thought angrily in his heart: How dare you tease General Ben? If it weren't for the fact that you were such an important existence to An Yangping. I'm going to make you suffer.
A few days after this incident, Li Chengmao proposed to leave Yecheng and return to Northern Zhou. I know that his body still needs to be recuperated. It is not advisable to travel long distances, even if Shen Yan proposed to obstruct it.
After thinking for a while, An Yangping looked at Shen Yan and said, "We are also going to Peach Blossom Island." Why don't you go with Second Master Li? It is a few months away from here to Wuxia Town, and we are together to take care of each other. With that, his eyes fell on Li Chengmao.
Li Chengmao nodded slightly, but he also thought it was appropriate, but everything still depends on Shen Yan's meaning.
"But I don't know if Guard Huo will bring my Han'er back to the Northern Zhou Palace......" Shen Yan said stupidly, a little desperate: "He will definitely bring my Han'er back to the Northern Zhou Palace." However, she quickly figured it out, "No matter what, Peach Blossom Island must be going." It's just ......," she looked at An Yangping worriedly, "your body is weaker than Chengmao, how can you travel so far?" ”
"Don't be too busy." An Yangping knew that she still had a little hope in her heart, and she was delusional that Huo Qing would be kind and would not take her Han'er away from Peach Blossom Island. With such a little hope, she must be the one who wants to go to Peach Blossom Island as soon as possible.
Finally, the three of them reached an agreement and decided to set off for Wuxia Town early the next morning. Naturally, they wanted to inform Sima Wenyong of this move. Sima Wenyong agreed in one bite. However, he still has some doubts about An Yangping and Shen Yan. He allowed them to leave, but he did not set them free.
"The health of the great doctor of Anyang and the Xian King of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is not good, and I don't know what trouble I will encounter along the way to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I will pick out a few warriors to protect you secretly, and I will also match you with a doctor and two maids, and take good care of you all the way."
He did this, ostensibly to protect and take care, but in fact to monitor. An Yangping, Shen Yan and others all understood that they wouldn't and couldn't refuse his "kindness", so they finally said their words of gratitude happily.
The doctor sent to take care of An Yangping and Li Chengmao, surnamed Wang, was a man in his forties who seemed to be very loyal and honest. He not only reciprocated An Yangping with respect, but also always revealed his admiration in his burning eyes - the great doctor, the title given to An Yangping by Emperor Nanzhao, is the highest glory that all doctors have delusional dreams of, and he certainly respects and loves him.
And the two maids sent to take care of the three of them, one named Nian Ci and the other named Nian En, are a pair of young twin sisters. Nian Ci is dressed plainly, Nian En is dressed gorgeously, Nian Ci is mature and steady, Nian En is innocent, and it is easy to distinguish.
The two sisters are well-behaved people who know their identities, and after only one day together, Shen Yan will not reject them. It's just that she clearly knows that they are people sent by Sima Wenyong, so naturally they can't get too close.
A group of people, two carriages. Knowing that Shen Yan was worried about An Yangping's body, Li Chengmao offered to let her share a carriage with An Yangping, while he shared a carriage with Dr. Wang.
In Anyangping's view, he Li Chengmao has not changed at all, and he still keeps making "concessions". But at this moment, he no longer felt that he was weak, but a kind of broad-mindedness that was different from ordinary people.
All the way to the north, stop and rest, no special things were encountered, but the solar terms were unconsciously, from the scorching summer to the cold late autumn. It turned out that more than four months had passed, and the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was close at hand.
Soon after Li Chengqi ascended the throne, in order to relieve the pressure of internal and external troubles, he simply ceded the border cities and other cities that had been occupied by Nanzhao to Nanzhao, and signed an armistice and peace treaty. For this reason, when they first entered the realm of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the lives of the people seemed much better than when they came. Although they were still poor, their faces were more steady, and they were no longer as frightened and uneasy as before.
"It's nice not to fight." Looking at the scenery outside the car, Shen Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"The world cannot be unified, and the war will continue sooner or later." Through the curtain lifted by Shen Yan, An Yangping looked outside and said calmly.
All the people in the border between the two countries understand this. There will be no end to war. But they all share the same expectation, that there will be no more wars.
"That person with a seven-trick exquisite heart, can he really dominate the world?" Shen Yan couldn't help but think of this matter, so she naturally asked An Yangping.
An Yangping smiled lightly and nodded comfortingly at her, as if to say: There will be such a person who can bring peace to the world, and when the time comes, everyone will live a good life.
Looking at his smile, Shen Yan only felt a sense of happiness and excitement growing in her heart.
"It turns out that you also have the world in mind." Knowing that she has such a heart, An Yangping appreciates it very much.
However, his words inadvertently made Shen Yan think of someone. That person is none other than Li Chengqi.
At the beginning, she was in Ning'an City, thinking about her father, and she didn't know what the world was, it was Li Chengqi who pulled her heart and let her see the world.
Her thoughts unconsciously returned to the past. An Yangping saw it, opened his mouth and wanted to call her "Yan'er", but finally swallowed these two words back.
He didn't disturb her, but when Shen Yan suddenly came back to his senses, he saw him staring at him, as if he had done something wrong, and he couldn't sit still. She stared straight out the window and asked, "Anyang, do you know how to read minds?" ”
An Yangping chuckled, "No." ”
When Shen Yan heard that the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, he turned around and smiled at him: "Fortunately, if you can see through everyone's minds, who would dare to get along with you?" ”
An Yangping was still smiling. However, he leaned over slightly, and took the initiative to take Shen Yan's hand for the first time, causing Shen Yan's heart to jump wildly all of a sudden, and his face was like a girl who sympathized with Dou Chukai, and suddenly turned crimson. She looked at him with emotion in her eyes.
He asked her dotingly, "Why are you afraid that I will know?" But the past that you remembered by chance? ”
The emotion in Shen Yan's eyes suddenly turned to surprise.
An Yangping said gently: "It's human nature to think of the past by chance. ”
Hearing this, the look of surprise in Shen Yan's eyes was replaced by the previous gratitude. She nodded her chin slightly, played with An Yangping's fingers, and smiled cheerfully.
Autumn went to winter, and two months passed in a blink of an eye. It snowed for many days, and the group was dressed in warm clothes.
In the cold weather, Shen Yan wore a big red cloak with a white fox fur collar, and built a snowman in the snow with Nian Ci and Nian En, and had a snowball fight.
Li Chengmao said to An Yangping: "It's rare that Yan'er is so happy. ”
Looking at Shen Yan, who was playing in the snow with red cheeks, although the corners of An Yangping's mouth were smiling, there was a hidden worry in his heart that had existed all the way - he would eventually lose. (To be continued.) )
