Chapter 54: Jiang Ming
At this time in the capital, the rain gradually stopped, and the surroundings were quiet, but the Huang family woke up suddenly.
There was a chill behind him.
Huang turned over, and the side was empty, and she sat up busily.
There was no night girl in Huang's house, so she got up in her clothes.
After the rain stopped, the night was a little clear, and Huang didn't need to light the lamp to come out and stand under the porch, and she couldn't help but shiver when a gust of wind blew.
The courtyard was silent.
Huang listened attentively, and there was a faint sound of swishing and swishing.
In the storeroom in the backyard of the house, a room was lit up, and the reflection of a person was visible on the window lattice in the distance.
The bamboo tube cracked and fell.
Fan Jianglin, who was only wearing a single coat, picked up a bamboo again, and the footsteps outside the door made him stop, frowning and looking over, Huang was standing at the door.
"What are you doing?" Huang asked in surprise, looking at the split bamboos scattered in the room.
"It's cold, if you don't do it quickly, Xiao Bao'er won't be able to catch up with the play." Fan Jianglin said, while talking about the axe again.
With a bang, the bamboo tube cracked and fell.
Some time ago, Fan Jianglin took Xiaobao to a colleague's house as a guest, and when he saw a small house built with bamboo at home, Xiao Bao'er made a fuss, so Fan Jianglin bought some giant bamboos for Xiao Bao'er to build one.
"Then you don't have to sleep in the middle of the night to do this, and it's not that there are no people." Huang is angry and funny.
Fan Jianglin smiled and put down the axe in his hand.
"I can't sleep, so I turned here, and being idle is also idle." He said.
Huang frowned.
Can't sleep? Since my sister left the capital. He couldn't sleep for a few nights.
"Don't worry." She said. While taking the clothes he was wearing on the side, he put them on Fan Jianglin. "There are so many people, there are government pick-ups and drop-offs before and after the road, although it is far to Matsudaira, but it is not a person from a poor family to go out......"
She babbled and said, Fan Jianglin was absent-minded.
"How many days have you been gone?" He asked suddenly.
"It's only been two days, and tomorrow will be the third day." Huang said, and couldn't help but laugh again, "Look at you." I still remember my sister, and I forgot about it for a few days. ”
Fan Jianglin took a deep breath and did not speak.
"Let's go." "Go back to sleep," he said. ”
"It's getting dawn." Huang said two sentences of disgust.
The courtyard was quiet again.
In the forbidden military camp outside the city, a group of men and horses lined up and staggered with a group of armored horsemen who had returned from patrolling the city.
"Lord Xiao Zhou." One of the leaders greeted with some surprise, "Why are you still there?" ”
"I've changed the day for someone else." Zhou Zhen said.
The man nodded and watched Zhou Ji lead the team to patrol the city.
"It's bullying." Someone whispered.
"Yes, he is the cousin of the princess of Jin'an County, and the king of Jin'an County has finally been driven out of Beijing. The princess of Jin'an County had a feud with the Gao family at the beginning, so it's no wonder that he can live a better life. Someone else whispered.
"But the Gao family has also been driven out of the capital." Some people questioned.
This was met with a chorus of ridicule.
"It's not that the Gao family was kicked out of the capital. Don't forget what is the surname of the most honorable person in Beijing. ”
The night wind dispersed their discussions, but when they reached Zhou Zhen's ears, they were blurred.
You don't need to hear or know what they say, since I stayed in the capital and came to this garrison, I have heard too much of this kind of talk.
Zhou Zhen looked ahead, and the tall city gate was faintly visible in the night.
"It's really unfortunate that the rain has stopped, otherwise I can find a place to shelter from the rain, and it will be dawn in the morning." The soldier next to him muttered.
"Don't slack off at times like this." Zhou Zhen said.
"When is that happening?" A soldier asked with a sigh, looking at Zhou Ji's somewhat heavy face under the torch.
In the second half of the night, when the sky is about to dawn, it is the most difficult time for people to endure.
"The prince is about to get married, and the city defense is strict, so you can't slack off." Zhou Zhen said.
The prince's wedding?
That stupid prince, not to mention marrying Chen Xianggong's daughter, what is there to prevent.
The chaotic response of the soldiers was to urge their horses to patrol around the city in the night.
Zhou Zhen looked up at the sky, the night sky after the rain was blue, quiet and peaceful, he retracted his gaze and urged the horse to leap forward.
After going around the four city gates, the day gradually brightened, and the armor soldiers had a little tiredness on their faces.
"I'll open the gates later, and I'll go and eat a bowl of hot soup."
"Go to the one at the bridgehead of West Street, the most authentic."
Everyone laughed and talked about driving the horse to the north city gate, planning to wait nearby and enter as soon as the city gate opened, Zhou Zhen, who was walking in the front, was still quiet, and suddenly he stopped his horse, and the others almost bumped into it without mentioning it.
"Lord Xiao Zhou?" Everyone asked.
Zhou Zhen looked ahead.
"Someone's coming." He said.
The soldiers looked over, and sure enough, they saw a horse galloping on the road in the distance.
"It's too early to wait to get into town." A soldier said.
Every day, before the gate opens, there will be people waiting at the city gate one after another, but there are really not many who come so early.
They narrowed their eyes, drew closer and closer, and saw clearly that the man on the horse was dressed in ordinary clothes, not the messenger who delivered the news, and the people paid no attention to it, and slowly urged the horses forward, while continuing to discuss where to eat and drink.
Zhou Ji kept watching the man run to the city gate, only shouted to open the door, someone leaned over the city gate to take a look, and the door was opened.
"Got in." He said.
Hearing him speak, the soldiers stopped talking and laughing and looked over, and they were all surprised.
It's not a post soldier, it's not an urgent report, and it can go straight into the city.
"Who is this?"
……………………………………………………
The bonfire in the temple gradually went out, and the blue sky made the broken temple dim.
Cheng Jianniang turned over and hit someone with her outstretched arm.
The man pushed her arm down.
Cheng Jianniang opened her eyes, and the person sitting next to her cast a shadow to cover her.
"Cheng Fang."
Seeing her open her eyes, the King of Jin'an immediately shouted.
"You can really sleep!"
Cheng Jianniang closed her eyes again, reached out and patted his leg.
"It's early. Go to sleep. She said. There was a deep sleepiness in his voice.
King Jin'an gritted his teeth. Reach out and grab her shoulder.
"It's getting dawn." "You've slept all night, that's enough," he said. ”
Cheng Jianniang, who was lying on the pillow, opened her eyes and looked at him.
"I haven't slept enough." She said, her voice a little lazy, and it sounded a little pitiful.
The hand of the king of Jin'an couldn't help but let go.
It was really exhausting to do such a bold thing, and it was only half a night's sleep, and it was indeed not enough sleep......
The room fell silent. Looking at the hesitant expression of the King of Jin'an County, Cheng Jianniang laughed.
She's teasing herself again!
The king of Jin'an County came back to his senses.
It's like kissing yourself, the difference is that the one is in full view, and there are only the two of them at this time.
King Jin'an's face turned red, his brows furrowed, and the hand holding her shoulder pulled hard.
"Cheng Fang!" "Do you think I won't be mad at you?" he exclaimed. ”
This shout made Mr. Gu, who was dozing off against the wall outside, sit up straight suddenly.
"Wake up!" He said in a low voice, helping Gonggong Jing on the side to get up, "Quick, quick." I can ask this time. ”
Gonggong Jing closed his eyes and reached out to grab him.
"Don't make a fuss." He muttered, "The conjugal affair has just begun." ”
Mr. Gu shook his head with a little dissatisfaction.
"I should have made it clear last night. If it drags on until now, it seems that the husband is difficult to cheer up, what else is there to say, it is important to get down to business as soon as possible. He muttered.
Cheng Jianniang, who was pulled up inside, looked at him.
"yes, I don't know later, but not now." She said with a smile and nodded.
Although her smile is still as faint as before, I don't know if it's because of her anger, and her eyes are full of ridicule.
He took a deep breath and let go of his hand.
"But I'm going to be sad." He said slowly, "I'm sad you don't believe me, I'm sad you don't care about me." ”
Cheng Jianniang looked at him upright.
"Yes." She said, raising her hand and leaning over to salute, "Cheng Fang is rude." ”
King Jin Anjun looked at her and didn't speak.
"I knew it was too dangerous to do it this time." Cheng Jianniang stood up and said, "Just because I know that you will care about you and be sad, I don't want to sue you, and this time the opportunity can be lost in the blink of an eye, and I can't have enough time to convince you." ”
She said and leaned down again.
"Fang Bocong, please forgive me."
"I know you have a point, and I know this truth, but, Cheng Fang, have you ever thought about what to do if you fail?" King Jin'an said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter, they won't recognize it as mine, I have something with me, which can explode in an instant, ignite my body and destroy it...."Cheng Jianniang raised her head and said with bright eyes.
Before the words fell, the king of Jin'an County roared violently.
"Shut up!"
Before he could finish speaking, he got up from the four-legged couch and walked straight out.
"Fang Bocong." Cheng Jianniang shouted, and hurriedly got up and came down.
The king of Jin'an has already walked out.
Cheng Jianniang took the cloak on the side and wrapped it and followed out.
Outside, Mr. Gu and Gonggong Jing seemed to be about to stop them, and the king of Jin'an County stepped out of the temple gate without even looking at them.
"Princess."
Mr. Gu and Father-in-law Jing saw that she was busy and came over again.
"Your Royal Highness is also worried about the princess, Faye Wong, you have a good relationship with Your Highness...."Gonggong Jing said with a little complaint.
Before he finished speaking, he was squeezed aside by Mr. Gu.
"Princess, how do you know that the high-ranking officials will be here? How did you kill him? Is it confirmed dead? Has anyone found out? Leave ......," he asked anxiously.
"Oh, you, is this the time to ask this?"
Before Cheng Jianniang could speak, Gonggong Jing glared anxiously and shouted.
"It's important now, it's been so long, if you don't know what to do, what should you do?" Mr. Gu also said anxiously.
While the two were pulling and pulling, Cheng Jianniang had already walked over.
"Princess......" Mr. Gu shouted, being held by Gonggong Jing, he had no choice but to watch Cheng Jianniang walk out, "Hurry up." ”
Hurry up and coax His Highness, and then say that something is important.
Gong Jing snorted.
"What do you mean by this, is it that His Highness is making trouble unreasonably?"
The tugging and arguing between the two behind him was left behind, and Cheng Jianniang walked out, and she couldn't see the figure of the king of Jin'an County left and right.
The attendants outside all bowed their heads and saluted.
Banqin and Su Xin, who were cooking, also stood up on the side, looking worried.
Steward Cao pointed backwards at Cheng Jiaoniang.
Cheng Jianniang raised her feet and turned to the back of the temple, and saw that the king of Jin'an County was walking quickly, and she hurriedly chased after her.
Something is ready to explode in an instant, igniting the body and destroying it....
Igniting the body will not be recognized by others......
Explode in an instant, igniting your body...
Ignite your body...
The king of Jin'an only felt trembling all over.
One hand grabbed him.
"Fang Bocong, don't be sad." The female voice said softly.
King Jin'an took a deep breath and stopped.
"Can you give me a reason not to be sad?" He said, turning his head to look at Cheng Jianniang, his expression dark.
Cheng Jianniang looked at him and didn't speak, and shook her head.
"Can you give me a reason why I'm not sad?" King Jin'an asked again, and without waiting for Cheng Jianniang to answer, he nodded again, "Actually, there is a reason, that is, I don't care, I don't care, there is nothing to be sad about." ”
He looked at Cheng Jianniang.
"Do you hope that's the reason?"
He laughed again.
"Actually, no, there is only one reason for this."
He looked at Cheng Jianniang.
"You don't care about me."
