Chapter 174: The Bamboo Horse of the Past
"Don't we really have to go and see?" The sun is about to set, but there is still no movement from Xiong Lie's big tent, I don't know what happened to Aster?
It's a pity that from dawn, Yuan Jue took me and Hou Yue out of the camp and hung outside. What's going on in the camp now, no one knows, this matter is still related to Gao Yong, Yuan Jue seems to be fine, but he hasn't spoken much.
Hou Yue was still angry and sat aside with his back to us.
I couldn't rest assured, I just reminded him, but who knew that Yuan Jue said, "Although this matter is related to Gao Yong and Qu Xiong Daying, it is Xiong Lie's family matter after all." If he is willing to say it, he will naturally have the opportunity to sue us, but if the inside story of this matter is not what it seems on the surface, do you want Xiong Lie to show you the green hat on his head? ”
"Cuckold?" I seemed to suddenly understand something, and it seemed that there was something I didn't understand. "What does that mean?"
Could it be that Aster and Gao Yong?!
Yuan Jue stood up, "Have you heard Gao Yong mention his life experience?" ”
Gao Yong's life experience? I tried my best to think about it, but, "I think I heard him say that his family was the biggest rice merchant in the city, and he must have had a good life before joining the army, but what does it matter?" ”
"Gao Yong's adoptive father is the largest rice merchant in Licheng, Gao He. Gao He has another son, Gao Ye. Gao Ye was also a member of our army, to be four years old Gao Yong, three years ago with me on the Jin River when he was killed, after going back, it was Vice General Qiao who brought the news of Gao Ye's death to the Gao family. At that time, Gao Yong had already been conscripted into the camp, and when Vice General Qiao was talking to Gao He, he heard Gao He say something about Gao Yong, and Gao He asked Vice General Qiao to take care of Gao Yong. and accidentally said that Gao Yong's biological parents were actually from Yibu, after Gao Yong's biological father died, his mother took him to live a hard life, and when Gao and Yunmi passed by their camp, he accepted his mother as a continuation, Gao Yong followed his mother to Gao's house, and changed his surname since then, so no one knows that he is actually a person from Yibu. When Yuan Jue talked about Gao Yong, he still felt emotion and regretted it.
If Gao Yong is also from Yibe, so what? It's just because he's from Yibe with Aster, so it doesn't seem to matter.
But Yuan Jue didn't say anything, he seemed to have figured out something, but he didn't want to say any more.
"Second son." Xiong Lie's guard, standing far away, called him.
We had no choice but to interrupt the topic just now, and when we turned around, the guard had retreated behind Xiong Lie, who was standing there, his face was not very good-looking, presumably after such an incident, he couldn't hold his face.
Yuan Jue was not surprised, as if he had known that Xiong Lie would come, he was standing beside me, and he had no intention of moving.
Not long after, it was Xiong Lie who commanded the others sideways, and then walked over alone, he stopped in front of Yuan Jue, but only turned sideways and said to me, "Niyin girl, this king has something to say to the second son alone, I wonder if Niyin girl is willing to lend the second son for a while?" ”
He has something to discuss with Yuan Jue, he said so, I'm afraid some words are inconvenient for me to hear, since it is inconvenient for me to be present, it is not interesting to stay. I looked at Yuan Jue, and Yuan Jue nodded to me.
I said, "Then I'll go back first, and you can talk." ”
After saying that, I got up and walked behind Xiong Lie, preparing to go back to the camp.
"Neon Girl." Unexpectedly, Xiong Lie stopped me again, I turned around, and he was turning sideways, but his gaze avoided me. "If it's convenient, can you please go and see the aster?"
Please let me go see the aster?!
His words made me stunned for a moment, what do you mean, didn't he just break me up to talk to Yuan Jue alone? Did you deliberately want me to talk to Aster?
It's just that after Xiong Lie said such a sentence, he didn't seem to care very much, and he had already turned around and seemed to be talking to Yuan Jue.
Yuan Jue listened to him quietly, raised his head to look at me, I understood what he meant, lowered his eyes and turned to walk towards the camp.
As if they had understood something, the guards in the camp led me to the tent where Aster was being held. I entered the tent and looked around, but I didn't expect Xiong Lie to be indifferent to Aster on the surface, but in fact, he was still very careful about Aster, Aster seemed to be locked in her own tent, no different from usual, but there were more guards outside the tent, so that she was helplessly placed under house arrest, and the maids around her didn't know where to go.
She had been sitting at the table, and when she heard the movement, she looked up at me, and then, she lowered her head again, not surprised.
The guards who had led me to her tent lowered the curtain as soon as I entered it, and the tent was cut off from the camp outside, and became a pure place. I walked up to her, dragged out a stool and sat down, "The king asked me to come and see you, I think he probably didn't get anything out of you, so let me try it." But what about you? Will you sue me? ”
The aster is motionless.
"Do you like Takahong?" I asked her.
Aster listened, but looked up at me again, her eyes were full of wariness, but, as if something was missing, after a moment, she lowered her eyelids again, as if she had heard nothing, nothing had happened.
"So, the person in your heart is not Gao Yong, right?" I asked her again.
Looking at Aster's reaction just now, I can be sure that she doesn't love Gao Yong, at least, not like Yuan Jue thinks.
But this time, Aster simply lay on the table lazily.
"The person you love, since he is not the king, nor Gao Yong, who is it?" I don't care if she answers or not, but looking at her now, I probably understand why Xiong Lie asked me to ask her, in the face of her like this, I'm afraid Xiong Lie will only be more angry. I sighed and said, "Aster, who is the man in your heart?" Who is it for you? You know what happens if you do it, but why would you do it? ”
Why didn't she say anything? This is clearly deliberately waiting for death, waiting for Xiong Lie to announce her death sentence, she is not remorseful, not angry, and has no half of justification, is it because she has no nostalgia for the world? Has she given up on her last struggle to be alive?
"Aster, do you remember? You want me to help you find Azusa Garden. "I kept my voice down again and again, afraid that the people who were guarding outside would hear it intentionally or unintentionally, it was a secret between her and me, and I didn't want those people to know anything.
Aster finally reacted, although she was still lying on her stomach, but the hand that she unconsciously put on the table moved slightly, as if she wanted to clench her fist, but she still gave up, obviously, Ziyuan's matter was the only condition that allowed her to react.
"Don't you want to look for Ziyuan? If you are no longer there when I find her, how can I tell her? "I tried to use the matter of Ziyuan to get her attention again, but this time it was a complete failure, and she didn't react again.
I was a little discouraged, but I still wanted to try again, hoping that if she could say something, even if it was to atone for her sins, Xiong Lie would not be put to death. I think so, so I always have to think of things that can persuade her to move, Aster's vigilance is too high, in the case of Ziyuan, she has been moved once, and it will be difficult for her to be tempted the second time, so this time she must break her guard once.
"I used to have two apprentices." I said slowly, persuading her, and unconsciously opened the knot in my heart ten years ago, "One is the second son Yuan Jue, and the other is called Biluo." Bilo is also a very poor and persistent girl, I ...... I'm not an ordinary person, so I can know a lot of things that will happen in the future, and I know that Biluo's future life is very pitiful, so at that time, I want to help her, Biluo likes Cheng Jing, I like that very much, Cheng Jing is her cousin. I knew that in the rest of my life, Cheng Jing would be in danger, and Biluo could even sacrifice his own life to save him. Biluo once had a younger sister, but unfortunately she died, and that sister was Biluo's regret, but coincidentally, once on the road, Biluo picked up a little girl, she cherished the little girl as a dead sister, and even used food that she liked very much, as long as the little girl wanted, Biluo would give it to her. Unexpectedly, the little girl wanted Cheng Jing again, she not only wanted Cheng Jing, but also wanted to kill Biluo, and wanted to completely replace Biluo and become Cheng Jing's wife......"
I stopped slowly, Aster was lying on the table, her body was trembling slightly, her hands were finally clenched into fists, as if crying, she said in despair, "Why...... Why do you know? Why do you know this......"
I didn't say anything, I naturally knew that what Aster said was not that I knew about Biluo, but that Jialan had whispered something in my ear on the night of my assassination......
Aster slowly straightened up, and her eyes slowly lifted from the lowest place until she looked at me, and there was such a complaint, such a hesitation.
"I think I sympathize with her, but after what happened to Biluo, I was forced to understand that human affairs cannot be seen only in one side, and perhaps she is also one of the pitiful, thousands of poor people." "Nine years ago, a little girl found her, and the little girl said that her name was Ziyuan, and she had an older sister, and that person had seen the little girl's sister and knew that the two sisters were twins, even though they looked almost identical, but Ziyuan had a red mole on her palm. It's just the only way to tell them apart. ”
Aster still looked at me, not a word, and even when I said this, she just looked at me.
"Tell me, why did you hide outside my tent and attack me that night?" I said indifferently, and suddenly took her hand, she didn't expect me to move, so a red mole appeared on the palm of the slightly open palm, which was very conspicuous.
That's right, Aster is Azusa Garden.
I revealed my identity, I thought she would be defeated and give up resistance, but she smiled, just as beautiful as when she first met.
She said, "Niyin, you're good at everything, but it's a pity that you're too smart." ”
What is the truth of this, anything is good, just too smart? Isn't it bad to be smart? The human world is really strange, being smart will be said to be bad, but not being smart will only have the opportunity to be tricked.
"Do you recognize me?" What I was more curious about was that when she called my name, I had a strange feeling, she didn't seem to be a complete stranger to me, and I vaguely felt that I knew her, but I couldn't remember when and where I had seen her.
"If you don't remember, it's not strange." Her expression was very weird, and I didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
If she had found Yun Chu nine years ago, and I would have returned to Shaoshan by then, she would definitely not have seen me. Unless...... "You've seen me for real, haven't you?" ”
I mentally calculated the timing of the various opportunities, and it became clear that something was wrong.
That's right, it was at that time that I completely lost my mana in Mucheng, and my spirit body was half-crippled and almost forced to die, and it took three years to recover. During those three years, except for the appointed days, Yuan Jue would come to Shaoshan to find me, and occasionally Yun Chu came, Yun Chu did under my Wutong real body, and summoned my almost scattered soul back, and it was with the help of Yun Chu that I was able to regain my ability.
Sometimes, for seven days, Yun Chu cast a spell under the tree, and let me appear and lie in the stream behind Shaoshan Mountain, and she put all kinds of things into the stream, and the seven **** were all confused, if I vaguely remember someone, it should be at that time.
She must have seen me when I lay down in the stream and Yu Deyun did the first thing. Looking at the way she smiled and didn't say a word, I just suddenly understood, "You recognized me from the first day you saw me appear in the camp, right?" You're trying to blackmail me. ”
Of course, she understands that I will not let Yuan Jue see my true identity, and I will never tell them about me, she wants to use this to blackmail me.
She looked at me, I looked at her.
It was only after a while that she finally understood that the chips in her hand were not enough to blackmail me. She finally began to become a little depressed, even if she was still pretending, but she couldn't hide it, she had begun to walk into a desperate situation.
"What the hell do you want to know?" She finally relented.
"I'm wondering, should I call you Ziyuan? Or do you continue to call you Lady Aster? I asked innocently.
Her eyes suddenly became fierce, and the rapid change made me unable to adapt to her change for a while, a little stunned, and I couldn't help laughing at myself, "It seems that I should call you Ziyuan." I want to ask you, what exactly happened? Why did you send a letter to the outside to save Gao Yong? Who exactly do you want to contact? ”
"Are you really interested in knowing about me? Even if it has nothing to do with you, you're willing to meddle with it? "She's still defiant.
"Yes, because although this matter is a family matter between you and Xiong Lie, it is related to Xiong Lie and Yuan Jue's joint plan, and I will not indulge anyone and affect their plans." I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it.
Ziyuan stared at me for a long time, and finally ...... "We and them are childhood sweethearts......" (To be continued. )
