Chapter 165: The Pothole
"In this way, it means that your current princess was snatched from Lu Shaoyun by unscrupulous means, and in less than two and a half years, you will return her?"
On December 15, after the riot in the Xiangming Curie ended, Su Yixing, who complained to Wen Jiling about the wine in the evening, told Wen Jiling about how he forcibly seized Xia Shuanghan. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info and Wen Jiling, who heard this, touched his chin and listened, his face was embarrassed.
"You pinned your hopes on Xu and Pei Huanting, thinking that they could be your help and help you get a beauty, which was wrong! Yes, the Xu family, who is unwilling to accept Xia Shuanghan as his daughter-in-law, can indeed add obstacles to Lu Shaoyun's emotional path, but in order to break up this marriage, the Xu family will protect Lu Shaoyun but will not care about Xia Shuanghan's life or death. ”
"And that rival Pei Huanting, do you think she can use tricks to forcibly seize the position of Lu Shaoyun's wife, so that he will lose his qualification to marry Xia Shuanghan? Yes, it is indeed a good means to use Xia Shuanghan's love rival to help yourself achieve your goal, but some women can kill their love rival mercilessly in order to compete for their beloved man! ”
"It's good now, you originally hoped to break up Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan's Xu and Pei Huanting, but now instead of helping you, you also frequently harm your sweetheart. What's more, you have to help Xia Shuanghan in the end, making them crazy and stupid and no longer a threat. You, you've been busy for more than half a year, and you have come back to the original point in a circle, but you have lifted a stone to shoot yourself in the foot. I said, it's not as hard as you to clear the obstacles for your rival! ”
"Can you say a few cool words?" Raising his head and drinking the wine in his glass, Su Yixing, who felt frustrated, needed support and help, not ridicule and ridicule.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, it's just ...... What do you do next? Wen Jiling, who paused slightly, glanced at the friends on the other side of the wine table, and a simple and easy idea came to mind.
"What to do? Cold! I'm really helpless right now. Su Yixing, who hung his head and laughed sarcastically, was quite self-defeating.
"Zhen Chen, don't be so pessimistic, I can help you!" With a light smile, he walked to Wen Jiling, who was on the other side of the wine table, raised his hand and patted his friend's shoulder and said, "What is my sister Xue Ying's attitude towards Lu Shaoyun, I believe you have seen it, so as long as you help my sister achieve her wish and make her and Lu Shaoyun right, won't your thorny problem be solved?" ”
"Is it as simple as you say?" Su Yixing, who deeply thought that things were by no means as easy as Wen Jiling said, frowned and turned to the friend beside him after putting down the wine glass, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Whether it's useful or useless, you have to try it to know, let's just use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and then try it!" With a big wave of his hand, Wen Jiling, who had made up his mind, went back that night and told Wen Xueying what he thought, so the time came to the end of December.
Since the start of December, in order to receive envoys from all over the world and to deal with the upcoming Yuan-Ri court, officials at all levels of the Ministry of Rites have been in a state of non-stop. As for Lu Shaoyun, who is the deputy commander of Jin Wuwei, although the department he serves has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, he is also busy with the task of guarding the envoys.
The rotation duty at night and the accompanying travel during the day, these unavoidable official duties have always made Lu Shaoyun helpless to come into contact with Wen Xueying. And the twenty-third day of December is the day when Lu Shaoyun and Wen Xueying have gotten along the most since the day they met.
The members of the envoys from the southwest region, because they have lived in the warm south since childhood, most of them have never experienced snow, so even if the envoys on the way to the capital, because they can't accept the increasingly cold weather, and one after another contracted the wind chill and tears, but after they have recovered one after another, they can't wait to go out to enjoy the snow.
More than ten miles north of Gyeongseong, Baeksan Mountain is the most prestigious snow viewing spot in the Gyeonggi area. Therefore, in order to better entertain the envoys from the southwest and meet their request to enjoy the winter snow, the accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites and some Jin Wuwei, including Lu Shaoyun, accompanied them to Baixiang Mountain in the early morning of the twenty-third day.
This place in Baixiang Mountain is not familiar to Lu Shaoyun. I think that at the beginning, Xia Shuanghan in her previous life was ruined by the Xu family, and her limbs were cold in winter, and she was reluctant to go out at all, so it was impossible for Lu Shaoyun to take her to enjoy the snow scene. And Lu Shaoyun in this life has always been a bachelor who is busy with official business, and it is impossible for him to come to enjoy the snow scenery by himself.
Therefore, when Wen Jiling and Wen Xueying, who had put together the whole plan, waited for Lu Shaoyun to drill, Lu Shaoyun really didn't think much about it, and was calculated by them.
The plan devised by the Wen siblings is actually very simple.
First of all, the Wen brothers and sisters, who had enjoyed the snow during the day, pretended to have a very fierce quarrel after returning to the post station at the foot of the mountain, and took this as an opportunity to create Wen Xueying's negative qi to go out and not return for a long time.
Subsequently, Wen Jiling, who was worried about his sister's safety, approached Lu Shaoyun and asked him to bring someone to help him, so that he could find his sister who had gone out into the mountains alone before nightfall.
Then, after the group entered the mountain, with the interference and guidance of Wen Jiling and several of his subordinates, Lu Shaoyun would find Wen Xueying at a distance from the rest of the group.
In the end, Wen Xueying, who used the reason that she had sprained her ankle and needed support to walk, would lure her step by step into the pit hidden under the dead branches and snow after Lu Shaoyun reached out to her.
The pothole was formed by the hands sent by Su Yixing, and on the basis of the natural terrain, it was further artificially transformed. The depth of the pit was deep enough that even if Lu Shaoyun used light power, he would not be able to jump up from the inside; And the longitudinal section of the pit is vase-shaped, with a thin neck and a large belly, and the inner wall is smooth enough to be difficult to climb. Therefore, as long as Wen Xueying can pull Lu Shaoyun down the pothole, and the two of them can't climb back to the ground without external support, they will be completely trapped.
Immediately, after confirming that his sister and Lu Shaoyun had fallen into the hole, Wen Jiling on the ground would help Wen Xueying lead the rest of the people who went into the mountain to search away from the entrance of the cave, so that the two people who kept calling for help could not be found by others.
So, as long as the time passed, and all the people who entered the mountain acquiesced that "it was getting late, and it would be very dangerous to continue searching", Lu Shaoyun and Wen Xueying, who were judged by a group of people to go into the mountain tomorrow to look for them, would be alone in the pit for a night.
The cellar has a certain thermal insulation effect, and everyone knows about this, so the pit hidden under the surface like the cellar, even if the temperature inside it is very low, it is impossible to freeze Lu Shaoyun and Wen Xueying to death in the next night.
After making sure that she would not freeze to death, Wen Xueying, who did sprain her ankle, could have some physical contact with Lu Shaoyun under the pretext that she was in pain, cold, hungry, sleepy, and so on. So the next day, after the two were found and rescued by others, the two of them, who had the experience of "hugging each other all night for warmth", had the necessary conditions for marriage.
Wen Xueying is not an ordinary civilian woman, so once there is a fuss about this matter, it is impossible for Lu Shaoyun to say that she is not responsible and not responsible. The fact that a lonely man and a widow are in a hole together, and the man still holds the woman all night, once this fact is publicized and forms a public opinion environment of sufficient scale, even if Lu Shaoyun does not want to marry Wen Xueying, he must also take responsibility for Wen Xueying's damaged reputation.
Therefore, as long as things go well, then no more than a month at most, Su Yixing and Wen Xueying will get what they want.
However, although the plan does sound good, like many cases throughout the ages, no matter how carefully considered the plan is, once the advance plan is put into practice, there will always be some small problems that are not expected, and then the development of things will be very different from the original plan and even go in the opposite direction.
When night fell, on the snow-capped White Elephant Mountain, Lu Shaoyun, who did not expect that he was stepping into the trap set by others step by step, found Wen Xueying alone as expected, after opening a distance from several subordinates.
It's just that just after Wen Xueying guided Lu Shaoyun to step on the dead branch covered with snow above the pothole, Lu Shaoyun, who only felt that something was wrong with the ground under his feet for a moment, took a step back.
The dead branches under the snow quickly broke and collapsed because they couldn't bear Wen Xueying's weight, and Wen Xueying, who was already ready to fall, also grabbed Lu Shaoyun's sleeve as expected.
It's a pity that Lu Shaoyun, who took a step back, had enough time to stretch his limbs and get stuck on the inner wall of the pit when Wen Xueying grabbed his sleeve and fell into the "bottleneck" part of the pit in a standing position because of this short distance as a buffer. So, the plan for the two people to fall to the bottom of the pit together was aborted in an instant.
"Miss Wen, are you okay?" Relying on his solid feet and his right hand, which was not pulled by Wen Xueying's sleeve, Lu Shaoyun, who was barely fixed in the "bottleneck" part of the pit, was bent over uncontrollably because he was responsible for the strength of Wen Xueying's fall.
Lu Shaoyun, who was holding the cave wall with one hand and bending down to look down, comforted her calmly and calmly after seeing Wen Xueying, who was still tightly tugging on her sleeves, through the not very bright light: "Miss Wen, don't be afraid, don't struggle, I will definitely save you." ”
As he spoke, he looked up at Lu Shaoyun at the entrance of the cave, and after confirming that he was less than a foot away from the entrance of the cave, he lowered his head again and said, "Miss Wen, we are not far from the entrance of the cave, so as long as you obediently do what I say, I believe that we will be able to return to the ground safe and sound in a while." ”
"Yes...... Is it? That's great. Holding the fabric in her hand tightly, Wen Xueying, who raised her head and looked up through the gap beside Lu Shaoyun, resisted the urge to twitch the corners of her mouth after seeing the edge of the hole that was indeed not far from the two of them, and only barely squeezed out a relaxed smile and said insincerely: "Then, everything will be entrusted to you." ”
In fact, unlike the peace of mind and gratitude on the surface, Wen Xueying's heart was very broken and angry at this time, "God, what the hell is going on, why can't things go smoothly according to plan?" ”
Constantly scolding silently in her heart, Wen Xueying now is not thinking about how to return to the ground with the help of Lu Shaoyun at all, but how to naturally drag Lu Shaoyun's hind legs and create some small troubles that cause him to finally fall to the bottom of the pit with herself.
The two people who had their own thoughts and acted according to their own ideas relied on a sleeve that had been opened to maintain a temporary physical connection, but just when Lu Shaoyun and Wen Xueying each stretched out their hands, ready to hold each other's hands and then take the next step, the fabric that could not bear Wen Xueying's weight made a "brush" sound again, and then completely disconnected.
"No, it won't!" Wen Xueying, who was far more angry and disappointed than panicked and frightened, shouted in disbelief before falling and falling to the bottom of the pit.
And Lu Shaoyun, who was still stuck at the "bottleneck", was concerned about Wen Xueying's safety, and while bending down desperately to look into the black hole, he shouted anxiously: "Miss Wen, Miss Wen, are you okay?" Are there any injuries? Can you hear me? ”
"I can hear you." Sitting up on a small dirt bag made of snow, dead branches and leaves, and dirt, Wen Xueying rubbed her aching buttocks, raised her head upward, and cried to Lu Shaoyun, who was faintly visible, with a trill: "However, my ankle was sprained twice the moment it landed, and now the pain is so bad that I can't stand up at all." ”
"Really? Miss Wen, don't panic, can you wait for me here? Lu Shaoyun, who deduced the approximate depth of the pit from Wen Xueying's voice, said: "I'll climb up and call someone now, and I'll come back soon, why don't you sit down for a while for a while, and wait for me to bring someone back to save you, okay?" ”
"Don't! Don't go! "If you climb up and call someone else now, won't all my efforts tonight be in vain?
Wen Xueying, who silently hid the words that could never be said in the second half of the sentence, and said that she couldn't let Lu Shaoyun climb up like this, pleaded pitifully: "I'm afraid of the dark, so please don't leave me here alone, okay?" (To be continued.) )
