Chapter 52: Disheartened
Since the quarrel with Li Chunfeng, Tang Ying has not heard from him for several days. Even Xiao'er didn't come to deliver the letter once. She blamed Li Chunfeng for not reassuring her too much, and was a little worried about whether he was having a bad time.
On this day, the heat gradually floated in the early morning. Whether she was standing or sitting, she was sweating, and she couldn't be calm in her heart, so she finally made up her mind to go to Xishan to find Li Chunfeng.
Along the way, she was rehearsing what kind of posture and tone she should use to talk to him. But the closer you get to the West Mountain, joy and anticipation take over worry. His grandfather was not a man of forgiveness, and she had deigned to come to him, and he must have been happy to find a place to go down the stairs.
She smiled secretly in her heart, and her little daughter's posture was inadvertently displayed. However, when she ran to Xishan, she found that the gate was locked, Li Chunfeng was not there, and her illusions were shattered.
Do you want to go back, or do you want to wait a while? She reluctantly walked around the door a few times, and finally lifted her true qi and easily climbed over the courtyard wall and sat down against the trunk of the dense peach tree.
At this time, Li Chunfeng had already been summoned by the holy decree and entered the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace, and naturally met Wu Mei.
Wu Mei directly showed Li Chunfeng the holy decree to Yuan Tiangang, and then asked his opinion.
Li Chunfeng looked at it roughly, and said without hesitation: "Chunfeng is willing to bow to the wind." In terms of feng shui, Chunfeng is thousands of miles worse than Brother Yuan. What's more, I consider myself a historian, and the title of the world's number one warlock is not what I want. Please ask the emperor and Niangniang to make an order and give it to Brother Yuan. ”
Wu Zetian listened quietly, and shook his head with a smile, "If I knew that you would be defeated without a fight, Yuan Tiangang probably wouldn't have done his best to find this feng shui treasure." What's more, I don't really believe him, and I hope you can verify whether his choice is correct. ”
Li Chunfeng also wanted to excuse himself, "The queen's words are wrong, the matter of choosing the mausoleum is a master, how can we and other courtiers not do our best......"
Wu Mei raised her hand, and the gold bracelet on her wrist jingled, "Taishi is kind-hearted, and I thought that everyone was as dedicated as you." ”
Li Chunfeng slowly straightened his waist and looked at Wu Mei quietly. She smiled softly and quietly, but her eyes were discerning.
Li Chunfeng opened the edict again and saw that Yuan Tiangang had lost and was willing to leave Chang'an.
He no longer pretended, and asked in a calm voice: "So, do you know Brother Yuan......"
The corners of Wu Mei's mouth went up, "There is also the matter of the guardians." Include...... You. She pointed her finger at him, then added, "So I have to win." Hope you can help me. ”
Li Chunfeng rolled up the edict and said coldly: "Since you know so many things, you must also know that I predicted the prophecy of 'the heroine's death'." It's me who asked Taizong to send you to Ganye Temple. Just ask, do you believe I will help you? ”
Wu Mei secretly clenched a fist, but she knew very well in her heart that Li Chunfeng just wanted to provoke him, so she said lightly: "That's right." But I value your knowledge and loyalty, and I believe that you are different from Yuan Tiangang. ”
Li Chunfeng sneered, "You are too high-minded." ”
Wu Mei ignored his cynicism, and still smiled and said, "Taishi doesn't have to be modest. Judging from your deeds of studying the calendar and algorithms, you are truly concerned about the people's livelihood. In all fairness, don't you think it's better for me to assist the emperor? Li Chunfeng had already recognized her ability, and he couldn't find a way to refute it for a while. Wu Mei took advantage of the victory to pursue, "What's more, you have saved me so many times, I have no reason not to trust you." ”
Li Chufeng snorted sullenly, lowered his eyes, and didn't look at her. It was his disdainful posture that made Wu Mei want to stop him.
Seeing that there would be no progress in the stalemate, Wu Mei could only move out of the killer move, "You and I are both understanding people." Celebrities don't speak darkly. I already knew about your relationship with Tang Ying, and I was also close to her like a sister. If you find the site of the heaven-sent mausoleum this time, let Yuan Tiangang admit defeat. Then, I promise that no one will care about you and Tang Ying in the future, so that you can live happily and have no worries. How is it? ”
Li Chunfeng didn't expect her to say the conditions so bluntly, and he was a little incredulous for a while. In the dark, he was sure that Tang Ying would definitely be willing to help him, and since the moment he saw Tang Ying enter Li Zhi's bedroom, the idea of letting Tang Ying out of the palace has become stronger and stronger.
But on the other side, Yuan Tiangang is the leader of the Chang'an Guardians. If he never returns to Chang'an, will the alliance of the Guardians fall apart? He had already made a lot of determination to break away from the organization, and he had never thought of such a head-on confrontation.
He was hesitating. Wu Mei could tell from his expression that she secretly sent someone to call Tang Ying. She didn't know that Tang Ying had quarreled with Li Chunfeng, but she knew from a woman's intuition that as long as Tang Ying came forward, Li Chunfeng would definitely be shaken.
However, she didn't know that Tang Ying was still waiting under the peach tree in Xishan at this time.
After a while, the palace maid who ran errands took a jasper hairpin and a note to Wu Mei. said that Tang Ying stayed on the dresser, and said that he went out and didn't come back until the sun set.
I probably went to find Li Chunfeng...... She took the hosta and smiled and said to Li Chunfeng: "I originally sent someone to ask Ying'er to see you, but she went out, you see this is a note written by her own hand." I guess she's going to look for you, or you're going to wait?" ”
The note was indeed Tang Ying's handwriting, and he recognized it from a distance. It's just that he felt that with Tang Ying's pride, even if he went to trap Fuji and people alone, he didn't call himself, and he would definitely not go to him without saying hello at this moment of the Cold War.
Did Wu Mei put her under house arrest?
He glanced at Wu Mei and dispelled this thought. He knew that their feelings were sincere. Besides, with Tang Ying's skills and white fire, I'm afraid no one in the palace can restrain her.
There was only one possibility, and that was that she didn't want to see herself.
weishenme don't want to see yourself? Because he defends Yuan Tiangang by himself? Or is it because Li Zhi gave her unparalleled favor and made her forget herself? Li Zhi himself is an amorous seed, and he gave her a fan and a gold ring, and he doesn't think about how mysterious they are......
Wu Mei looked at him with a more and more painful expression, but was a little unexpected, and hurriedly asked, "Li Taishi?" Are you unwell? ”
Li Chunfeng sighed and shook his head at her. Putting away his chaotic thoughts and making a frustrated decision, he said to Wu Mei: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Chunfeng is willing to accept Brother Yuan's challenge. If Chunfeng loses, please treat Ying'er and Brother Yuan well, and the minister should resign and go home, and never set foot in Chang'an. ”
Wu Mei frowned and said, "Why is Taishi so unconfident? weishenme doesn't say what reward do you want if you win? I'm sure you'll be able to find the site. ”
Li Chunfeng put his hands in his sleeves and saluted: "The minister is not sure. Please give the queen an edict. ”
