Chapter 66: I Understand You, But Not Surely
Nangong Yufeng looked at Duan San, the meaning was obvious, he wanted Duan San to avoid it. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but Duan San turned a blind eye to him, he only listened to Xi Cui.
"There are no secrets between the third brother and me." Xi Cui didn't want to continue to waste time with him on other things, it was best to simply and directly say what should be said clearly, and everyone should have a clear number in their hearts about what they should do in the future.
Although he had thought that this matter could not avoid Duan San, Nangong Yufeng still wanted to try it for some reason, after all, he still hoped that only he himself was the most different here in Xi Cui, although he knew that it was unlikely.
When Xi Cui's words fell, Duan San gave Nangong Yufeng an extraordinarily dazzling smug look, which made the flames in Nangong Yufeng's heart rise, although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed jealous.
In this life, Nangong Yufeng has only had this kind of frustration in front of two people, one is Xi Yunjian, and the other is Xi Cui, a woman. He couldn't figure out why he was so dignified and courteous to the prince of the king, and now he was a first-class general who was personally appointed by the emperor, why could he speak so unreasonably in front of her little maid? Since when did this start? How did it start?
Even he didn't notice it, until this time he was thinking about the origin and development of this relationship in his head from beginning to end, but he didn't think about whether it should end and how it should end.
"Can you say that? Shiziye, you are the master, when you want to go out, and what you do when you go out is up to you, but Xi Cui is different. Xi Cui is still a slave, I asked my master when I went out this morning, and I have to hurry back, if you think you can't explain clearly, the slave goes back and asks my aunt the same. Anyway, this matter was something you two agreed upon, wasn't it? Xi Cui saw that he hadn't spoken, and seeing that the time for him to come out was not short, it was really time for him to eat after such a delay. This is a tavern restaurant, and at that time it is full of people who come and go, so how easy is it for her to go out quietly? It is indispensable to avoid the rush of people, so I will wait until the afternoon, she didn't say that she would come out for so long when she went out in the morning, what if Yun Ting was looking for her? And Rui Niang's side, she didn't explain to anyone when she came here, if something happened to the VIP building, how should Rui Niang find her?
"How do you know that this matter was discussed between me and Wang Shaoyan? Nowadays, almost everyone thinks that we have really turned our faces on you. Nangong Yufeng looked at Xi Cui and remembered Wang Shangshu's expression when he talked about Xi Cui. It turned out that Xi Cui really had that intelligence, but he couldn't understand what made Xi Cui suspicious.
Xi Cui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and reminded himself over and over again in his heart that this person was the prince of the world, and it was better for us to have more than one thing, and try not to provoke him. Then he exhaled that breath slowly, and then opened his eyes, "The **** has injured his legs and feet when he goes out, you can see it clearly, but you didn't show much excitement at that time, and even accused me of losing my duty as a slave, right?" ”
"Then, I didn't ...... at all at that time" Nangong Yufeng was about to explain when he was interrupted by Xi Cui.
"Then I left, but the third brother came back, and he overheard your conversation, you should have told the real cause of Xi Yunjian's death. You can all protect and confess such a secret thing, how can you suddenly make a fuss because of me? At first, I thought you were doing this for the sake of that doctor sent by the emperor, but what are you doing today? Lord Shizi, did you come here at the invitation of Duan San, or did you meet Duan San on the way to find me? Speaking of Duan San, Xi Cui couldn't help but look at Duan San himself beside him, why are you looking for these things for me? Do you think I'm not famous enough now? "Forget it, let's not talk about this matter for now, you should just tell me why the **** and my uncle made such a decision, and what happened to me in your whole plan." If you ask him other questions at this time, you don't know when he will be able to finish his business, and these questions are the same when he goes back to ask Duan San, and Duan San's mouth is still the truth.
"Why can you talk to that Qi Yu well, but every time you talk to me, it's such an extremely impatient tone?" Nangong Yufeng asked angrily, deliberately going against Xi Cui and not getting straight to the point, but leisurely picked up the teacup and gently stirred the tea leaves floating on the upper layer with the lid of the cup. From time to time, he squinted his eyes and peeked at Xi Cui's side, watching Xi Cui's face become more and more tense, so he took a sip and put down the teacup. "You're not still holding a grudge against what happened on the southwestern side, are you? Then your heart is too small! ”
Xi Cui was originally bored and angry, but he raised his head when he mentioned the southwest edge, "What's going on on the southwest side?" ”
Seeing her expression, she didn't think about it, it seemed that she had forgotten. Nangong Yufeng smiled happily, "If you can't think of it, forget it." ”
"I don't think I'm bothering you, the prince, it's the same when I go back to the Wang family and ask my uncle......" Xi Cui said and stretched out his hand to pull Duan San, motioning for him to help himself up. This master started to talk about other topics again, and if she really wanted to go back on time if he talked so much.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to say you can hear it, right?" Nangong Yufeng finally compromised, "The **** came out of the Wang family and met your sedan chair drivers, I heard them gossip about some rumors about your injury, and said everything, I wanted to ask them clearly but was called away, I followed them into a hidden alley, who knew that I met Wang Shangshu's people again." ”
"They took me to see Wang Shangshu, and ...... There are other people who you don't need to know. Realizing that he had missed his words, Nangong Yufeng hurriedly added, "Wang Shangshu said that I left the medical woman sent by the emperor of the Wang family with my front foot and followed in, ostensibly to see a doctor for Yun Ting, but in fact, it was to find out what I said and did when I went to the Wang family." The most important thing is that this doctor girl is Uncle Lao's person, and the emperor's purpose of sending Uncle Lao's person into the Wang's house is somewhat intriguing. Wang Shangshu and the others discussed a plan that could temporarily stabilize the emperor and Uncle Lao, that is, I fell out with the Wang family. As for this reason, there is one ready-made right now, and that is you! They want the two of us to have an argument over you, and of course this scene has to be played in front of the healer. So Wang Shangshu took me into the Wang family through a small door, avoiding the eyes of the Lao family at the door of the Wang family, creating the illusion that I had never left the Wang family at all, and rushed directly to the open house to get into trouble with Wang Shaoyan. ”
"Although I don't know much about the things in your court, the so-called big husband is in the city, and the one who is in the court. In order to dispel the emperor's suspicions, you are ruining your own official reputation by spreading the news of immorality with a slave like me! Shouldn't the emperor trust ministers who are well-behaved and virtuous? "Although I know the relationship between the emperor and Uncle Lao, you can't send me away with such a crude lie, right? What's more, according to Zhang Xun, although the current emperor is not a famous monarch through the ages, he also has the strategy and mind that a monarch should have. Although she is only a big shopkeeper at present, she also knows that the key to employing people depends on the character of this person, how can he be the emperor who doubts that he has a good character, but trusts some villains with bad virtues?
"How can you women understand this? As an emperor, you don't suspect that you don't use this sentence, you can't take it to heart at all, and you won't take it to heart. I now have hundreds of thousands of troops in my hands, if I can't be firmly controlled, how can he, the emperor, be safe? So I must be a person with obvious handles, who can be manipulated by him, only in this way can he dare to use me with confidence, leaving the military power in my hands to rule over the Lao family. Uncle Lao's power is too strong, he has to guard against it, the Wang family is one of the forces he has specially supported for this, in addition to the Wang family, he also wants to use me. But it is impossible for him not to know about my relationship with Wang Shaoyan, so he wants to use me but he doesn't dare to use it with confidence, so he can only send someone to watch my every move. If I had fallen in love with Wang Shaoyan because I had fallen in love with a little maid of the Wang family at this time, all the problems would have been solved. Whether it is my virtue or my relationship with Wang Shaoyan, it is not a problem with the emperor now......" Nangong Yufeng actually began to feel a little proud when he said this, "In this way, I can be my first-class hussar general, and Shaoyan can also rise to the top to be his first-class commander." I no longer need to be called the prince of Liwang, but the general of Nangong. ”
If she didn't know the biggest secret, maybe Xi Cui would be like him, confused by the false appearance in front of her, thinking that everything he said could come true, and it would soon be realized, but she knew the truth. And Nangong Yufeng was able to say this in such a tone today to show that he didn't know about it, but he was just led away by Wang Shangshu's group of people. It seems that Wang Shangshu is far more than the only one who knows the truth, and the people in Nangong Yufeng's mouth are probably all aware. But Xi Cui was not interested in who they were at all, firstly, these people were coaxing Nangong Yufeng and not himself, and secondly, it was not necessarily good to know too much, especially about these people.
"So then, you just need to cooperate with me and do enough to match me in front of everyone. Just like what I did in front of that Miss Cao today. Nangong Yufeng paused and continued, "Doing so will inevitably damage your reputation, you can rest assured that I will naturally make amends when the time comes, and you are at least a noble concubine in my Great General's Mansion." ”
"I don't think this kind of compensation will bother the general, and Xi Cui will naturally have his own plans at that time. But don't worry, general, I will naturally cooperate with your plan, and I will be sure of your reputation or something. "Concubine? Xi Cui scoffed, I really can't afford this kind of compensation. "In the future, Xi Cui of the Great General's Mansion is still not high, if you really want to compensate me, it is better to let me live a comfortable life."
"A comfortable life? Why can't I live comfortably as a woman? Wouldn't it be nice for me to spoil you, protect you, and make your life easy? Nangong Yufeng looked at Xi Cui like this and couldn't help but think of Xi Yunjian's appearance when he talked about her, he said that she was a very proud woman in her bones, and no matter how humble her identity was, she couldn't suppress the tenacious loftiness and arrogance in her heart. He wanted to give her the life she wanted, and just listening to her make it worth it to give everything he could to help her make it happen...... It's a pity that he didn't say what Xi Cui wanted, obviously he couldn't think of it.
Xi Cui didn't answer his words, just looked at Duan San with a smile, "Third brother, it seems that you can't leave me for the time being." Because you can't find the two men to take care of me. Qi Yu left by himself, but this one had ulterior motives. You have seen it, I can't do without you......" Xiao Yi, who had been silent, actually told Xi Cui Duan San that the reason why he had been in frequent contact with Qi Yu and Nangong Yufeng in the past few days was to find her a reliable man, so that he could leave her with confidence. Although Xi Yunjian committed suicide, the root cause that forced him to commit suicide was the Lao family, after he got drunk, he thought about it for a long time and finally found a way to avenge him, that is, to kill Uncle Lao with his own hands. But before he could do that, he had to settle Sitri first. So he thought of Qi Yu and Nangong Yufeng.
"You, how can you ......" Duan San asked himself if he wanted to leave, and he had never told anyone about it, how could Xi Cui know? And looking at her appearance, it seems that she has even guessed why she is leaving.
"I don't care how anxious you are to leave, but for now, please press it for the time being, at least until my body is healed." Although I know that you have a deep love for Xi Yunjian, and I naturally want to take revenge when I see him die in vain, why shouldn't I? Although I was very disappointed in Xi Yunjian because of the appearance of Qin Niang, he still left the best for me, at least his affection for me was true. The human heart is full of flesh, and now that he is suddenly dead, and he bears such a stigma, how can I not be sad and angry? But none of us can have an accident, and revenge should not be so simple and rude! Xi Cui tried his best to look pitiful, looking at Duan San with big watery eyes, but there was complicated patience and expectation in his eyes...... Her hand had been gently resting on her knee, where there was still a dull pain, but she didn't dare to touch it.
Duan San looked at Xi Cui's legs distressedly, his clenched fists loosened again, and he nodded, "I actually forgot, the kindness between the Hou Mansion of Huai'an and you is no better than that between me and Xi Yunjian, and you can even repay the kindness of the Hou Mansion with your life, but you can still care about the living people so calmly, and I ...... I'm not as good as you......"
Yes, how could Duan San forget that the Hou Mansion was burned, Mama Wu died unexpectedly, and their bones were not cold, but Xi Cui was forced to follow General Sun's coffin along the street in order to save Xi Yunting, and endured inhuman humiliation, and finally almost lost a pair of legs. But despite this, Xi Cui did not complain, she was still doing her meager efforts to complete Mrs. Hou's last entrustment. On the other hand, the dignified seven-foot man not only couldn't help her, but also kept pulling her hind legs, causing her trouble, not to mention, and asking her to worry about herself, it's ...... It's shameful!
The atmosphere between the two of them was so harmonious, which made Nangong Yufeng, who was left aside, feel very uncomfortable. In order to prove his existence, he opened his mouth and asked, "You have always said that Xi Cui's leg is very serious, but Duan San, can you tell me how the injury on her leg came from?" Wang Shaoyan only said that she had an accident to save Yun Ting, and what her sedan chair drivers said was not like that at all, I want to know the truth! ”
"Wang Shaoyan really said that?" Duan San smashed his fist on the screen next to him, smashing the wooden screen shelf to pieces. "He really speaks!"
"Third brother, there's nothing wrong with my uncle saying that! I was originally willing, do you want me to watch Miss go to death? This matter can only be explained like this, otherwise what do you want him to say? The Sun family is obviously being led by the nose by the Lao family, but what about the evidence? There is no tangible evidence to involve the Sun family, and the relationship between the prince and General Sun is there again, saying it will only make the prince embarrassed and make things more complicated! When Xi Cui heard the word surprise, he felt five emotions in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like, but thinking of the situation when he was talking to Nangong Yufeng at that time, it was the wisest choice for him to make such a decision. Now that we have come to this point, we can only continue to walk. It doesn't matter how the Wang family's father and son treat me, as long as they can keep Yun Ting, I won't have any complaints against them. ”
"But I don't want you to end up with the same ending as Mama Wu, if they can sacrifice you once, they can have a second time!" After this incident, Duan San completely saw the coldness of the Wang family, although they made efforts to save Yun Ting, but the only thing he cared about most in his heart was Xi Cui. "It's better for us to leave the Wang family, it's not convenient for your current identity to stay in the Wang family, and besides, the deed of sale has been found, so there's no need for you to stay there."
"Wait, wait, I didn't understand what you said! Why is it involved in the Sun family again, the injuries on your body were caused by the Sun family? Nangong Yufeng simply approached them, "How could the Sun family have a relationship with the Lao family?" This old general Sun's death is still because of ......" almost leaked his mouth again, Nangong Yufeng hurriedly stopped, "In short, if it is really the Sun family who hurt you, there must be some misunderstanding here, I will find out this matter and give you an explanation." ”
It seems that there are too many things that this prince has not understood, why is there so many people around him who understand that none of them are willing to explain it to him? Maybe since he wants to check, let him check it, and just try to know the depth of the bowl of water right now, it's better than being led away like this all the time, but I don't know why I want to go like this.
Xi Cui has seen this drama almost, although there are a few places that are not sure, but the general context has also been figured out, Wang Shangshu and his gang of people who know the emperor's secrets are obviously secretly planning earth-shattering events, during this period, Wang Shaoyan, Nangong Yufeng, these juniors will inevitably play a vital role, but for the time being, they have not been able to touch the core of the problem.
