Chapter Thirty-Six: The Sound of Light Rain in the Night
I've tried to meet him many times before.
However, when the reality really happened, it was not as pleasant as expected.
He said, "You know, you are my only helplessness."
With this sentence, I lost.
Suddenly it rained outside the window, dripping, raindrops fell from the sky on the bluestone pavement, and soon, the ground was all soaked, and the roadside vendors were busy packing up their things to hide from the rain, and there was no one outside the window for a while.
"Why don't you see me?" I hesitated for a long time.
"At that point, I just knew something and it took time to get used to it." His gaze drooped slightly, his eyelashes were long, but not particularly thick, and he could count them clearly. "I didn't expect you to be so decisive, I was unprepared. I've been looking for you for so long that I thought I'd probably never see you again. Luckily, it's just Voon who hid you. ”
"How is that possible?" The county lord of Zhaohua woke up, and everyone in Dongfu already knew it, and I fought with Huo Yu several times, if he was really looking for me, how could he not know.
"Gong Yu completely concealed the news that you were alive, Fu Ang did not have any statement to the outside world, you fought with Huo Yu, Fu Ang completely hid your storage in the Huo clan military flag and the Fu clan military flag, if it weren't for the previous chaos in Dongfu Belvedere under the banner of King Ning's remnants, provoked Ah Ning to run to see, and saw you in the army, I'm afraid I don't know that you are still alive." There was no emotion in his tone, but these words seemed to be unexpectedly desolate in my heart, and I don't know if it was because of my desperation, or if I felt his despair at that time.
"So, do you want me to live, or" I didn't finish my sentence, but I didn't know what to say. "You and Shen Yi, what the hell is going on."
As soon as I said this, I felt the urge to slap myself a few times until I saw a faint smile on the side of his face when he turned away.
I lowered my head and gritted my teeth, wanting to tear my lips off, and my heart was full of anger.
"What are you worried about?" I lowered my head and heard his voice coming close to my ears.
There was a warm breath scattered over my cochlea, and I sat up straight, but I almost made intimate contact with his chin, just brushing it, and then, less than a finger's away, my eyes met his lips. His snort fluttered on my forehead, and I could clearly feel his true existence.
"I'm worried," even his thoughts slowed down a beat, but he still said truthfully, "You." ”
There seemed to be a slight hesitation in his breathing. "That's good."
That's good? What does that mean, I said I was worried about him, and he said that's good. What is the answer and why is it so good? He said that's good because I'm worried about him?
"You have two options." Yu Wenzheng didn't mean to take a step back, he was right in front of me, and I didn't dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing this dream-like scene. "First, you let go of a qiē don't care about this matter anymore, I'll check it out, you"
"I'll pick second." I'm going to find out for myself, I don't want to wait any longer for him to give me the answer.
There was a flicker of flickering flickering on his lips, and then a faint smile. "Sure enough. I haven't said what the second option is. ”
"I'm going to check it myself. You help me. ”
"Are you helping Huo Yu, or Shen Yi?" I felt him grasp my arm, with a slight force.
"I'm helping myself." I felt a little lonely in my heart, he was right in front of me, but I felt that I couldn't catch him. "I really want to get a relationship like Huo Yu and Shen Yi, even if I am in troubled times, no matter how hard I have to do it, it will not change, I envy Shen Yi, she has what I don't have, and I have always longed for it, so I want to fulfill them."
He let go of my arm, and there was some helplessness in his tone, "Some things are not what you think. ”
That's how he would have answered.
I shouldn't have expected that.
I got up and was about to leave, but I was pulled back by Yu Wenzheng and sat down again. He sighed and sat back. "If the final truth will disappoint you, then are you sure you have to investigate this matter?"
Will the final truth disappoint me? I hesitated, but finally nodded.
"Shen Yi and Huo Yu have a marriage contract, do you know?" Yu Wenzheng seems to know no less about this matter than me, Xu was when he saw Shen Yi that day, and Shen Yi told him personally.
"I know that later, because of the changes in the Shen family, Shen Yi fell here, but the Huo family regretted the marriage." I compiled the things in my memory about the relationship between Shen Yi and Huo Yu into one sentence.
Yu Wenzheng shook his head, he looked at me, and there was a particularly obvious helplessness in his eyes, "Didn't you think about going over and investigating the incident of the Shen family's downfall back then?" Have you been to the Huo family? ”
No. I didn't think to look into that, I didn't think to focus on them. "Does it matter? Do you mean that the original grievances between the two of them have something to do with the murder of the proprietress of Mingyue Tower? ”
Yu Wenzheng didn't give me a clear affirmative answer, but he took my hand and put my hand in his palm, "The Shen family was the imperial physician of the Fengyi Dynasty back then, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Later, because of an accident caused by the delivery of an emperor's beloved princess, that is, Shen Yi's father was executed, which was the beginning of the Shen family's downfall. The Huo family has been staying in Dongfu after following the Fu Emperor uprising, Shen Yi followed his aunt and lived in Xiyi, Shen Yi's aunt was later killed because of the matter between Shangshu and the eldest princess of Xiyi, Shen Yi drifted to Dongfu, and Shen Yi's father's accident happened to have something to do with Emperor Fu, Shen Yi could have had a good result with Huo Yu, but because of his father, he suffered and was disgusted by Emperor Fu, the Huo family did not dare to disobey Emperor Fu's will, so they could only avoid Shen Yi, and did not save Shen Yi when he saw death. ”
It is also related to Fudi. However, "What is the relationship between that princess and the first emperor back then?" ”
In the depths of Yu Wenzheng's pupils, an extremely suppressed pain twitched violently, and his expression was imperceptibly frozen and stagnant. I don't know where his pain comes from, but his palms are cold at the moment, I don't dare to disturb him, I can only watch him indulge in pain, but after a long sigh, he came back to his senses, he just turned his head sideways, took me with one hand, put my hand to his lips, bowed his head, took my hand and left a kiss on the back of his hand, and then seemed to mumble to himself, "That's not important." ”
I didn't understand, but I met his smile, and he continued, "The Huo family has always been a single lineage, and Huo Yu is different, Huo Yu has a younger sister who is a twin with him. There was an accidental fire in the Huo family, it is said that Huo Yu's sister Huo Ting died in that fire, and General Huo followed you to fight, after you were captured, General Huo died on the battlefield, and Huo Yu inherited the family business of the Huo family. However, "
"But what?" I asked.
"However, some people say that it was not Huo Ting who died in the fire that year, but Huo Yu." Yu Wenzheng's words were no less cold than the coldness of his palm.
I suddenly had a creepy feeling, it wasn't Huo Ting who died, but Huo Yu? So who is Huo Yu now? Is it Huo Ting?! Could it be that Huo Yu is a woman?!
I couldn't help but close my eyes and want to forget about it.
"Brother." The little girl hid behind the pillar, peeked at the little boy Zamabu and waved her fist, and secretly shouted when the adults walked away, "Brother, brother." ”
"Xiaoting." The little boy was startled and hurriedly looked around, "Why did you come here again, let your mother see it, it's time to punish you again." ”
"There's you." The little girl is coquettish. "Brother, brother, teach me kung fu."
"You!" The little boy spoiled her very much, and let her mess around.
The Huo brothers and sisters grew up in their youth under the honor of General Huo. General Huo Lao is the founding father of Dongfu, highly respected by Emperor Fu, and even more personally issued a holy decree, the Huo family inherited the prestige in the prosperous era of Fengyi, and the descendants of generations enjoy the honor of generals. Huo Yu is the hope of the whole family, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, unlike Huo Ting, Huo Ting was raised in the deep boudoir, and the adults forced her to learn the female red piano art, counting on her to have the appearance of a beautiful lady and marry a wishful husband, but Huo Ting always hid from the adults and secretly ran to the martial arts training ground to find Huo Yu.
Huo Yu doted on this sister, not only taught all the kung fu she had learned to this sister who loved to dance with knives and guns, but also memorized the military books read to Huo Ting by the adults. In their teenage years, Huo Ting loved to pretend to be men, pretending to be Huo Yu to cause trouble everywhere.
"Brother, I want to be you, so I can share your pressure." Huo Ting thought that as long as she pretended to be a man, she would have the opportunity to share Huo Yu's share and bear it for Huo Yu, but she couldn't understand that as the eldest son, the family business that Huo Yu would inherit and the burden he would have to bear was the glory of the entire Huo family.
"Brother, if I were a boy, would there be many girls like me?" Huo Yu and Shen Yi had met once when they were young, Huo Ting accompanied Huo Yu, quietly looking at the future sister-in-law, the future head of the Huo family, Huo Ting saw Huo Yu's deep affection for Shen Yi in her eyes, and looked forward to the future sister-in-law.
Shen Yi stayed in the Huo family for just two days before being picked up by her aunt.
The fire of the Huo family, whose soul was buried. is also a two-choice answer, but the fire ruthlessly almost destroyed the Huo family, and the old general died in battle, no matter who survived the Huo family, he must bear the entire Huo family, must, it is a man!
"Does Shen Yi know about this?" I asked Yu Wenzheng.
He turned his head sideways and looked at Mingyue Tower.
"I'm going to Huo's house." I have never been to the Huo family, and I have only seen Mrs. Huo twice before I went on the expedition with Huo Yu, but I have a deep impression of the old lady, she is very strict, very strict.
"If Huo Yu is not Huo Yu, what are you going to do?" Yu Wenzheng asked me.
"Why does it have to be a man to inherit the honor of the Huo family? I can, Huo Yu can! "I'm going to find out the truth, whether it's something I'm willing to accept or not.
"What about Shen Yi?" Yu Wenzheng pulled me back.
I was dumbfounded, yes, Shen Yi, I forgot about Shen Yi, if Huo Yu is not Huo Yu, then what should Shen Yi do? She has been committed to Mingyue Tower for many years, and these sacrifices are nothing. "There will be an answer."
Huo Fu.
The old lady didn't seem to be very surprised by my arrival, as if she had expected it early on, but politely invited us to sit in the front hall of the Huo family, and let the servants serve us tea.
"Mrs. Huo, I'm here for General Huo." I explained my intention straightforwardly, and I didn't allow her to retreat and dodge, I thought she would relax a little when she heard Huo Yu.
Mrs. Huo ordered to retreat left and right. "The county lord has worked hard, I heard that the county lord is investigating the dog's case, and I hope to return the dog's innocence as soon as possible. It's just that the county lord has forgotten the shame of Dongfu, and now he is still in contact with Dongfu's enemies. ”
I am not surprised by her harsh reprimand, the old general died on the battlefield, and she naturally hated the people of Beishao.
"Mrs. Huo, if you really care about General Huo's innocence, can you tell me where General Huo is now?" If she didn't know, why didn't she ask me if I found out where Huo Yu was, but asked me to return Huo Yu's innocence as soon as possible, so I think she might know where Huo Yu is.
"Humph! Isn't it the county lord's business to investigate the case? Now he asks the old body, is this the ability of the county lord, and completely puts his responsibility on others. The old lady's attitude was obvious, and she frowned angrily, as if she did not intend to tell me what she knew.
I should have known it would be like this. Old Madam Huo regards the honor of the Huo family as extremely important, and she will definitely not let the Huo family be humiliated because Huo Yu is alone. "Mrs. Huo. I know that it is impossible for you to hide Huo Yu in the mansion, and you should also know that Huo Yu cannot be a murderer! Now that Huo Yu has been missing for many days, His Majesty is about to issue a holy decree, Huo Yu is about to be wanted, no matter how big my Fuyin ability is, it is impossible to finally suppress His Majesty's will, Huo Yu cannot be a murderer! You Mrs. Huo can't be a murderer either! So who are the murderers! Don't you want to think about it, who most wants to see your Huo family's forces and my Fuyin's forces fighting each other! ”
"You!" Old Madam Huo got up angrily and pointed at my nose for half a day without speaking.
"How am I?! I am worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of brothers, even if I once had a negative Dongfu, but I also fought for Dongfu to the last moment! What about you? Enjoy the glory and wealth of the Huo family, what is the pretending to be high and awe-inspiring! Regardless of Huo Yu's life or death, I only care about your Huo family's honor, what's the use of the lintel! "If I don't see Huo Yu today, it is very likely that I will alarm Fu Ang, and even alarm the people who manipulate this qiē behind the scenes, no matter how I prepare next time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get what I want," I came here privately today because of my life-and-death friendship with Huo Yu to kill the enemy side by side! If I can't see Huo Yu today! Then tomorrow, I will announce to the world, declare wanted, and lead troops to search the house! No matter whether Huo Yu is innocent in the end or not, your Huo clan will definitely be humiliated! ”
Old Madam Huo sat down on the chair suddenly.
"Old lady." The maid was startled, and immediately stepped forward to support Mrs. Huo, who was so startled that she didn't come back to her senses.
"How long have you been practicing this stance in private today?" Yu Wenzheng whispered in my ear with a smile.
"Forget it, pandan." Old Madam Huo stretched out her hand to stop the maid, she looked over, her eyes were full of hatred, "Take them there." ”
After receiving the order, the maid who was called Xianglan placed the old lady in place and walked up to me, "County Lord, let's clear." ”
General Huo's Mansion is not big, but it is only compared to Ning Wang's Mansion, if it is compared with any official mansion in Leyao City, I am afraid it is one of the best, after bypassing six or seven corridors, Xianglan led us to the private prison of Huo Mansion, she just whispered something to the two family members who guarded the door, and let us in.
"Huo Mansion has a big business, no wonder Old Madam Huo wants to defend the honor of the Huo family." I couldn't help but sigh that the Huo family was really much bigger than I expected.
The entire private prison was divided into seven rooms, and Huo Yu was locked in the innermost one. When I saw him, he was lying on the haystack, wearing a thin **, and the bloody scars on his back were countless one by one, and he was dying.
"Huo Yu, Huo Yu!" I called him several times, but he didn't respond.
I reached out and tried his forehead, and he burned badly. I had to ask Xianglan for help, "Please help me prepare a carriage, I will take him back to King Ning's mansion." ”
"County lord, let the slave maid say a word, you are not saving the general, but harming the general." Xianglan's face was embarrassed, and her vague expression revealed some unexpected information.
"Is it because of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and Her Majesty wants to give marriage?" I vaguely guessed.
Xianglan leaned over and knelt on the ground, not daring to reply. "Prepare the carriage, I'll take him away."
"Are you sure you're going to do this?" After watching Xianglan leave, I was trying to put Huo Yu on my body, and Yu Wenzheng suddenly stopped me, and he said very seriously.
"I'm sure." I know what I'm doing, and if I can't take him away today, I don't know what kind of torture Huo Yu will face next. When I dragged Huo Yu, my hand crossed his chest, and the placket of his chest was loose, if I wanted to know the answer, maybe this moment was the best time. I suddenly hesitated, but I reached out to straighten his shirt and put his arm on my shoulder, "Huo Yu once asked me what made me choose to forbear, and what can make me no longer forbear." I didn't answer him at the time. ”
Yu Wenzheng stood in front of me, he didn't have the idea of coming to help, just quietly listened to me.
"I loved you so much then, and even now, I can't forget you. Your betrayal, my father's betrayal, my life collapsed because of the betrayal and use of the two of you, two people I trust and rely on the most, but I am still alive, I must bear it, God, it will only collapse once, what can I do if I don't die? I choose to endure in order to live, if one day, when some people force me to live, they will know that today's Zhaohua is not the sound of the past. "I forbear, so that the people around me can be more tolerant, and the tolerance they give me can give me a chance to live, but no matter who the enemy I am facing, his calculation this time really annoys me.
