After the reception banquet, Nangong Yufeng was drunk and dragged back to the camp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wang Shaoyan just came back and was called by General Sun Lao, Xi Liang looked for Duan San to talk about things, and Xi Cui could only take care of him.

found someone to change his clothes, and Xi Cui went to cook a sobering soup.

was about to feed him soup, Xiao Yu suddenly appeared, "Are you still angry now?" ”

"What are you angry about?" Xi Cui saw that Nangong Yufeng was so drunk that he couldn't hear them talking, so he talked to Xiao Yi boldly and confidently, "You have been very strange since yesterday. Today made me breathe a good breath again, this doesn't look like your style, right? When did you become so concerned with me? ”

"I already cared about you! Otherwise, why follow you inseparably, and help you do things, and there is no benefit to it. Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yufeng's eyes and rolled, and suddenly had an idea, "Do you really not care about Qin Niang's death at all?" ”

"Although Qin Niang is pitiful, but poor people must have something to hate, especially Qin Niang. She actually wanted to pull me along with her to the same despair, if not more bleak despair than hers. It's just a pity that I'm sober enough to see through her intentions, find a way out for myself, and clearly say her desperate end. She may have died for my reasons, but not just me. A person like her is like a patient with a plague, who is struggling to transmit her pain to others, even though she is hopeless, and what good is it to watch others suffer with her? I just didn't do what she wanted, but she couldn't figure it out and killed herself, does this make me feel guilty? Xi Cui didn't look at Xiao Yi, his eyes always stayed on Nangong Yufeng's face, "Let's change our seats, what will you do if you meet someone like that?" ”

"What about Xi Yunjian? Aren't you sad? ”

"As for Xi Yunjian...... I figured it out. He didn't do anything wrong, with his identity, let alone a young woman, even if there are ten or eight other women, I am not qualified to interfere, even if he is with him. In this world, men are inferior to women, and we are no longer equal, regardless of our status as masters and servants. It's that I thought wrong, since I want to live a free and independent life, I shouldn't blindly pin my future on men. Obeying men is the master of my life, and I am doomed to not get the life I want, so I have to give up all my previous plans and plan my life from scratch. I relied on my own efforts to live, and I no longer trusted any man and didn't have to rely on any man, so I relied on myself to get the life I wanted. I may not have been able to, but now I can. After Xi Cui finished feeding the soup, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Do you think I will become a woman like Madame?" Not only do you not have to rely on anyone, but you also do your best to protect the people around you. How nice! It is best to find another man like Hou Ye, although his temper is a little worse, but he is single-minded to his wife, and he is careful and thoughtful in everything for his wife. ”

"Are you too greedy like this?"

"Do you think I'm greedy? I think so...... Hehe...... This kind of thing is inherently unattainable, and I won't force it if I can't meet it, but if I really meet it, then I will definitely hold on to it! Alas...... It's a bit too early to say this, it's going to be two and a half years before I get my deed of sale, and I don't even have a decent identity right now. Now, the only thing I can do is to train myself wholeheartedly, and strive to be completely self-reliant after I get out of those messy high-gate compounds when I get the deed of sale. ”

"......" Xiao Yu didn't ask any more questions. Is Xi Cui's answer completely counterproductive, right? He originally wanted to lure her into saying something soft, taking advantage of Nangong Yufeng to pretend to be drunk to achieve the goal of reconciliation between the two, but now? Let Nangong Yufeng know the fact that Xi Cui doesn't want to find a man anymore, oh my God, when will he be able to complete his merits if he continues like this?

Xiao Yu will not be mistaken, Nangong Yufeng is indeed not drunk to death. He was dizzy, but his consciousness was still sober, and he could hear every word Xi Cui said. Xi Cui shouldn't lie in front of him who was drunk and unconscious, it turned out that he really misunderstood her, but why couldn't she explain it well? Do you have to make the relationship between two people like this? And what did she mean by those words? Do you want to rely on men, live on yourself? Do you want to say that men are unreliable? Is it because Xi Yunjian found Qin Niang? Does she still want a man of Xi Yunjian's status, and she is the only woman in this life? What Mrs. Hou Ye, is it Huai'an Hou? There is such a Huai'an Hou in the world! What's more, where did she get this thought from as a little girl? How dare you paint such a life?

In the next few days, the number of people guarding the camp was getting smaller and smaller, and General Sun Lao also set out on the third day, although Nangong Yufeng stayed and went out last, he also received an order that he should set off tomorrow. Wang Shaoyan found the lieutenant general and asked him to gather his men and prepare to set off. Nangong Yufeng replenished the 1,000 people for him when he came, changed horses for them, prepared grain and grass, and gave them a complete map.

If he wants to train the generals, he won't see them off.

When they came, the grain and grass were heavy and the march was slow, and when they went back, they were empty-handed, so they could naturally whip up quickly, and Hu Biao was also cleaned up by him, so they naturally wouldn't have any trouble when they went back. Nangong Yufeng felt that Xi Cui's girl was too dangerous, but he was still rare, so he simply didn't even send Wang Shaoyan away.

Before the ugly time of Xi Cui's departure arrived, when Nangong Yufeng was gathering the army and preparing to set off, an urgent sound of horses' hooves came, and Xi Yunjian shouted in a hoarse voice from afar, "Yufeng!" Xi Cuike is still there? ”

Before Nangong Yufeng could answer, he had already dismounted and ran in front of him, pulling Nangong Yufeng's shoulder, "Where is Xi Cui?" I just broke through the city and hurried to the old general without even seeing it, is she waiting for me? His eyes were bloodshot, his sockets were dark, and the stubble on his chin had not been repaired, and he looked tired and embarrassed. Looking at the battle robe with dust and blood on his body, he was really afraid to run back as soon as he hit the battlefield...... How can you tell him?

Seeing Nangong Yufeng's face, Xi Yunjian finally calmed down his emotions, reached out and took a bowl of water handed by his subordinates, drank it in a big gulp, and then smashed the bowl into powder, "She's still leaving...... I can't see ...... in the end."

Nangong Yufeng helped him sit aside to rest, and ordered someone to prepare a meal and send it, he must have eaten nothing.

Nangong Yufeng talked about Qin Niang's death, and also talked about what Xi Cui said when he pretended to be drunk. Xi Yunjian listened quietly, eating while listening to him, his face was calm and he couldn't see a trace of waves.

When he finished eating, he finished speaking.

Xi Yunjian stood up, straightened his clothes, and sighed, "Fortunately, she didn't really show affection for me...... It's good that at least I didn't hurt her......"

"What are you talking about?" Nangong Yufeng sat on the side, he could only tilt his head to see Xi Yunjian's face clearly, he was very uncomfortable like this, so he stood up and looked into his eyes, "Don't you like that girl very much?" How to listen to your meaning and know that she lied to you, instead of being angry, you are very happy! What's the matter with you? ”

"Aren't you rejoicing, too? Actually, you like Xi Cui very much, right? Xi Yunjian smiled calmly, looking at Nangong Yufeng's eyes were still like brothers, "If I want to entrust her to you, you may protect her, don't let her be hurt, let alone hurt her, and let her live in her own way?" As long as you promise, I will give you an unexpected reward. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about...... Nangong Yufeng turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xi Yunjian.

"Don't think about running away or refusing yet, we are brothers forever. Xi Cui has never been mine, and I'm afraid I won't have a chance to take care of her in the future, you think about it. After Xi Yunjian finished speaking, he left before him, he had to rush back as soon as possible, otherwise it would be another storm if people found out that he had returned to the camp without permission.

Halfway through, he took out the letter from Duan San's hand and asked Xi Liang to send, which recorded all the things that happened to her after Duan San followed Xi Cui, and she was finally implicated in this entangled hatred. Xi Yunjian really wanted to find a better way out for Xi Cui, except for Nangong Yufeng, he couldn't think of anyone else, Nangong Yufeng took care of their brotherhood, he knew that with such a good brother, he was content. Fortunately, Nangong Yufeng also has Xi Cui in his heart, and this matter must be promoted.

As he thought, he quickly whipped his horse, and his cloak rose with the wind, and he stretched out his hand high, crushed the letter in his hand into pieces, and galloped all the way to scatter, and the white fragments were reflected behind the black cloak, forming a beautiful landscape......

This is a helpless passing, but it is also a worthy parting for Xi Cui to miss this man who has always been in love with him. Xi Cui was deeply puzzled by his behavior of being able to get close to a woman like Qin Niang for many years after that, but she didn't know that it was this miss that made her lose the last chance to understand him. Let such a misunderstanding and estrangement gradually become a wall between two people, a wall that cannot be seen but cannot be pushed down.

The way back was surprisingly smooth sailing, and in less than half a month, Xi Cui and the others returned to the capital.

But when I came back, I realized that everything had changed.

Huai'an Houfu was first seized for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and then suffered a fire that burned all the hundreds of people inside, including the Hou Ye who was under house arrest and Mrs. Hou who was sick in bed.

The reason why Huai'an Hou was identified as a collaborator and treason was because his son Xi Yunjian suddenly defected on the battlefield on the southwest border and killed General Sun Lao, the chief general of our army, which led to the original overwhelming Daxia army suddenly without a leader, and was defeated and retreated. Xi Yunjian was also killed by Pingnanhou.

Now Nangong Yufeng is uniting with Pingnanhou, preparing to completely change his strategy and fight the last battle with the enemy.

The Sun family knelt in front of the Zhengyang Hall and asked the emperor to take revenge on General Sun and completely remove the remnants of the Huai'an Marquis who collaborated with the enemy and treason. Who else is the so-called remnant of the Huai'an Hou Mansion now? You don't have to think about it to know that Yun Ting is left. They had no way to go to the Wang family to find Yun Ting, so they could only use this way to use the emperor to force the Wang family to hand over people.

Wang Shaoyan has just returned from the southwest and has made meritorious contributions, and now that the emperor intends to promote the Wangjia, how could he do such a thing as forcing Wang Shaoyan to divorce his wife at this time. But the war in the southwest battlefield is tense, and General Sun's bones are not cold, if he completely ignores the face of the Sun family, I am afraid that his prestige in the army will be discredited. Then his previous move of sending military funds thousands of miles will also become a farce in name only.

No new emperor is willing to fall into such a reputation himself, let alone an emperor like Zhou Qitai, who flaunts the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

He has been waiting for Wang Shaoyan to come back under pressure on this matter, he wants Wang Shaoyan to understand his situation, know that he has the intention to defend him, and he is powerless as the emperor when this happens.

Wang Shaoyan came out of the palace and did not return home, but went to a teahouse. He just wanted to find a clean place and think calmly about what to do. If he wants to give up Yun Ting for the Wang family, he can't do it watching Yun Ting die. Not to mention what the world will think of him after this incident Wang Shaoyan, Yun Ting saved his life in the end, even his own conscience can't forgive himself. Thinking of Mrs. Hou's entrustment at the beginning, it turned out that all this had long been expected by her, but why did she conclude that the Wang family would definitely be able to save Yun Ting's life?

He drank three pots of tea and didn't come up with a solution, so he thought of Xi Cui, and Mama Wu, since Mrs. Hou concluded that the Wang family could save Yun Ting, then how to save her must know. It's a pity that Madame is dead, but the person who knows Madame best is still there, and Xi Cui and Mama Wu must know.

He couldn't wait to go home, Yun Ting was still taking a nap as if nothing had happened, Xi Cui was by his side, and Rui Niang was talking to Xi Cui about something. Mama Wu was not there.

Wang Shaoyan turned around and went to the backyard, and Mama Wu was not there.

He saw Qi's mother, and only after asking did he know that Mama Wu had gone to Ningju.

Ning Jun! Wang Shaoyan's eyes lit up! The old lady has the Dan book in her hand! Isn't this thing just a gold medal for avoiding death? As long as the old lady is willing to act, Yun Ting will definitely be saved. It seems that Mama Wu has thought of it a long time ago, so she went to Ningju, didn't she?

So Wang Shaoyan came to Ningju without stopping.

Mama Wu knelt in the center of the courtyard, her body was already shaky, and it seemed that she had been kneeling for many hours. The old lady's door was still closed, and there was not even a girl guarding the door.

Wang Shaoyan went over to look at Mama Wu, who was already semi-unconscious, and said vaguely begging the old lady to save my young lady......

He didn't help Mama Wu up, but directly pushed the door open.

Mother Qi was standing inside, seemingly in a circle in a hurry, and was startled when she heard the sound of the door, and was relieved to see that it was Wang Shaoyan.

"Mother Qi, is grandmother here?" Wang Shaoyan asked. He tried not to hear the ups and downs of his voice.

Mother Qi pointed inside, and the sound of beating the wooden fish came from time to time.

Wang Shaoyan nodded to Mother Mu and walked in by himself.

The old lady was kneeling on the futon in plain clothes, her eyes closed, her mouth reciting the scriptures vigorously, and her rough fingers pinched the wooden fish hammer made of sandalwood, and struck on the wooden fish one by one, making a crisp and low sound. There are a few incense sticks burning next to it, and the smoke is quite zen.

It can be seen that the hard-hearted heart of death that cannot be saved, can the Bodhisattva really save you just by reciting the mantra? Wang Shaoyan couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, he thought that the old lady would not easily come to the rescue, but he had to make a compassionate appearance if he could save it, which made Wang Shaoyan feel disgusted in his heart.

Hearing someone come in, the old lady stopped what she was doing, opened her eyes and looked. Without saying anything, he got up, straightened his clothes, sat on the chair next to him, took a sip of tea, and then pointed to the chair behind Wang Shaoyan and motioned for him to sit down.

Wang Shaoyan sat down obediently, waiting for the old lady to speak, at this time, if the old lady still had to pretend that she didn't know anything, then he really had nothing to say.

Who knew that the old lady actually asked, "Do you think I am cold-blooded and ruthless, and I hate hypocrisy?" ”

Being seen through by someone at a glance and said it bluntly, even a calm person should not be able to sit still, Wang Shaoyan is like this at the moment, and it is the first time that she has experienced something like sitting on pins and needles.

The old lady continued, "I know you all want me to take out the Danshu Iron Scroll to save Yun Ting. To be honest, although Yun Ting is that kind of person, she treats me as an old woman sincerely, and I like this child very much. I'd be sad if she died, but it's not that I don't want to save it, but I can't. ”

"I haven't seen anything on the battlefield, so it's naturally inconvenient to comment, but you've been there, so you should have a number in your mind. I don't know how General Sun died, but I don't know if Xi Yunjian killed him! But there is one thing I know clearly, that is, as long as the person who sits on the throne is the current emperor, as long as the power of the Lao family is still there, the Huai'an Hou Mansion must die cleanly, as for why, you still don't know. You just need to know that our Wang family can't be the enemy of the Lao family at all at this time, I have done everything in my life for the Lao family, and it is impossible to put the Lao family in danger when I die. In short, I won't save Yun Ting, even if she dies and you hate me for wanting me to follow her to the funeral, I will agree, but don't expect me to save her! ”

After she finished speaking, she was about to go back to the inner room, but she remembered something again, turned to Wang Shaoyan and said, "That Mama Wu outside, tell her to go back and tell her that it's useless." It's not that I can't save it, it's that I can't save it. ”

After speaking, he went straight to the inner room, and Mother Qi hurriedly followed.

Wang Shaoyan had to leave without saying a word since he came in, what he wanted to say, the old lady knew that every word would make him gamble to death.

Do you just give up hope of saving Yun Ting? The old lady obviously had something to say, she seemed to be hiding a very important secret, and this secret was related to the emperor and the Huai'an Marquis Mansion...... (To be continued.) )
