Chapter 189: The Son Returns
"So, where is he now?" I got up early in the morning and heard Jialan tell me that they had found Master Nan, so I couldn't wait to rush to the front hall of Yuan He's administration, but Yuan He deliberately delayed, as if he deliberately didn't want me to see Master Nan. I couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you let me go to see him?" What's going on? ”
Won Hyuk was embarrassed, but he really couldn't say it.
I was still trying to ask, but was interrupted by a voice from outside the temple.
"Because when we found him, he was already insane." Cheng Jing said as he walked in from outside the hall, he stood in front of us for a moment without humility or arrogance, and then stopped for a moment before he bent down and bowed to Yuan He, "Minister, Cheng Jing, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
I finally reacted and looked at Wonhyuk.
It turned out that he had been refusing to tell me where Master Nan was, and it was for this reason.
"Are you going to blame me......?" Yuan He made a pun, and actually asked me carefully in front of Cheng Jing, without directly letting Cheng Jing get up.
Yuan He's behavior was actually tormenting Cheng Jing. They should all remember what happened 10 years ago. For me, it's like a dream, I just don't mind, but it's not unrelated. There are two meanings in Yuan He's words, one is the matter of the guide master, and the other is the matter of Cheng Jing. He never told me the slightest thing, not only Jialan, but now even Cheng Jing is working under him.
I froze for a moment, remembering what had happened. I tried my best to restrain myself, "How so? But Master Cheng has been leaning over for a long time, so it's time to let him get up. ”
Yuan Hyuk may have been a little surprised by my reaction, but he didn't show it too much, just his eyes shook slightly, and soon he returned to nature, and the smile on his lips was indifferent, "Okay, since you said so, Lord Cheng, please get up." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness Xie Shizi." Cheng Jing bowed to Yuan He, and gently leaned towards me, as if he hadn't heard anything and didn't see anything just now, and bowed slightly, "Miss Xie Niyin." ”
"By the way, I heard that you are married to Biluo." I just said, "I wonder if she's okay now?" ”
"No, not so good." Cheng Jing hesitated a little and said a little heavily.
Not too good?!
I thought he would at least be polite, compliment twice, and say, well, she's good. It passed, but who knew that he said it was not very good. "Really? By the way, since Master Cheng entered the palace to tell Master Nan that he was crazy, you should know where he is now, so can I go and meet him? ”
Cheng Jing listened, but raised his eyes to look at Yuan He.
"Come along." How could I not understand the meaning of his eyes, turned around and said to Yuan Hyuk lightly, and then added, "If you are not busy." ”
Master Nan's identity is unusual, he is a subordinate in Mrs. Ruyi's palace, the apprentice of Mr. Jia, and the only person we know now who is still alive in the world after what happened back then. And his confession will determine the fate of Yun Chu and Mrs. Qimo, plus Mrs. Ruyi's contaminated witchcraft back then, it needs to be confirmed by him. How can Yuan Hyuk rest assured that I will go to see him alone.
But although he is tempted, he is very cautious.
"In this case, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is working hard for the country's affairs and has no time to take care of anything else, so it is better for Cheng Jing to do it for him and go on this trip with Miss Niyin." Cheng Jing saw Yuan He's embarrassment and said very intimately.
"That's all it can be." After hesitating for a while, Won Hyuk gave up wanting to go with me to visit Master Nam. But he didn't forget to explain to me, "Then let Lord Cheng accompany you, the battle situation on the front line is urgent in the past two days, and I have to meet with several ministers to discuss the garrison." ”
The battle situation on the front line is urgent?! Didn't you just talk about Yuan Jue's victory in the cold city and a beautiful turnaround? How did it take only a few days for the war to become urgent?! But right now, in front of Yuan He and Cheng Jing, I really can't show anything about it, so I can only say coldly, "It's okay." ”
I know, after all, it's been ten years. A lot of things can happen in the past ten years, for people, it is enough to change the fate of many people, and I am just one of them who met ten years ago, and I don't even know my details, how can I ask anyone to remember what happened to me, not to mention, even I can't remember the love of that moment, how can I ask others to remember.
But I thought Yuan Jue should care. It wasn't until this time that I realized that Yuan He and Yuan Jue had already made a distinction in my heart, one was someone else and the other was not.
"If you have something to say, just say it." When I went to Master Nan's place with Cheng Jing, I rode a horse with him, and he deliberately distanced himself from me. Then I noticed that he had been looking thoughtfully at me diagonally behind me, and I didn't look back at anything, but said leisurely.
Cheng Jing turned his head away.
I could see his movements in the afterglow, and after a moment of silence, I said to myself, "Because of Bilo." ”
I could see Cheng Jing's reaction the moment I said Biluo, as if my whole body was trembling.
I was also muttering in my heart, what happened between Biluo and him, so that he could have such a violent and unconscious reaction the moment he heard Biluo's name. He didn't pretend, but it seemed that even he didn't expect him to have such a reaction, and after that tremble, he also sensed the gaffe and tried to redeem it, pretending to be serious.
I smiled, knowing that he was waiting for me to ask, but I just didn't say anything.
There has been a stalemate between me and him. Cheng Jing clearly has something in his heart, and he can say it casually, but he still pretends to have nothing to do with it on the surface. Just like ten years ago, he still keeps his heart in his heart forever.
But as time passed, the horse we rode had reached the gate of Chengfu, and the horse stopped, and he and I dismounted. I took one look at the place and couldn't help but sneer.
"Bilo, she wants to see you." Before stepping into the door at the same time as me, Cheng Jing finally whispered quietly.
It was so light that even I wondered if he was talking to me, or if he was just talking to himself. I didn't ask, I just turned my head to look at him.
"Biluo, she wants to see you." Cheng Jing couldn't hold back, and repeated it again, the slight emotion on his face showed that he was a little uneasy and a little embarrassed.
"Let's talk about it." I smiled and turned my head to continue walking inside, dismissive of his request to lower his posture.
I walked ahead of him, but the smile froze a little. A feeling that made me feel extremely uncomfortable spread throughout my body in an instant.
Desolate, helpless......
Jialan told me that when she thought I had changed, I could laugh it off without care...... When Phoenix told me that I was different, I just felt that because I loved Yuan Jue and I wanted to be with him, I became like an ordinary person......
But now, even I feel like I've changed......
There is no innocence at the beginning, there is no kindness at the beginning, and there is no concern at the beginning...... I seem to have become indifferent to what I know, and I can finally understand why Jialan is what it is. No matter how immature we are in the mountains, because the harm there is immediate, and in the human world, their selfishness, their snobbery, and their trickery will affect us little by little. Even if I have no intention of becoming an adult, but after being in such an environment for a long time, their behavior will affect our consciousness, and we will unconsciously be affected by their kindling and become people as selfish and ugly as people.
I realized that I couldn't go back, and I would never be as happy as I was when I first came to Mucheng, and I would work hard and care about my surroundings. I've really changed.
Just like when I saw Master Nan curled up in the corner, I didn't feel any more than sorry for the scene I saw in front of me, a helpless and frightened old man, shrunk in rags in a corner.
Because I know what kind of torture he may have experienced during this period of time, and I will never be surprised again. I am more suitable for this place now than I was ten years ago, but I can't go back to the place where I can really live.
Cheng Jing's glance made the subordinates guarding this firewood room understand something, they stepped forward to untie the chains on Master Nan's hands and feet, and then the left and right subordinates went out from both sides of us with their heads bowed and sideways, as if they didn't know anything and couldn't see anything.
I looked sideways at Cheng Jing for the second time, just one glance.
I sneered, but I didn't break it, and in his doubts, I walked towards Master Nan.
People want to be the most powerful, but they don't know that in all things, they only look strong, but they are very vulnerable.
"Remember me?" I asked Master Nan, and he should remember that I was.
He looked up from his huddled body, looked at me, his eyes widened in horror, and after he looked at me for a long time, he suddenly let out of his throat a low moan like that of a beast in the mountains when its life was threatened, and he jerked his head down again, and hugged his head, trembling uncontrollably......
I was also shocked, how could this be? This is obviously different from the previous one. At that time, when I went to visit him with Wonjue and Wonhyuk, he recognized me and should have been very enthusiastic to tell me the truth.
But now, when he saw me, he was still very excited. But the excitement at this time was different from the previous time, and it changed from gratitude to horror. Why is this the reaction? It was only when he saw me that he became like he was stimulated, didn't he......
"The doctor has already seen it and confirmed that he has gone crazy." Cheng Jingzheng repeated it, and in his opinion, my actions were all superfluous.
"Where did you find him?" I couldn't understand how Master Nan could be like this now.
"In an abandoned and ruined temple, he hid among a group of homeless people and pretended to be a beggar." Cheng Jing replied simply.
I couldn't help but look at Master Xiang Nan again, this qiē was completely different from that time...... I reached out and hung over his head and tried to feel it.
That's right, it's really different.
Not long after we met him, he fell ill and died in his dreams. And now, I clearly feel that his life is not over, in this case, Master Nan should be different from the other situation.
He probably listened, but couldn't hear me, and then slowly raised his head quietly from his curled up body. But when his gaze fell on the palm of my hand hanging above his head, he was so frightened and frightened that he crawled out from under my hand, and this time he hid in the corner of the wall on the other side, and the movement was so great that he raised a cloud of dust in the woodroom.
I stood up and turned sideways to avoid it, reaching out and waving it before snorting. Cheng Jing also walked to the other side with disdain, waved a few times, and dusted off the dust on his body.
I could only wait until the dust in the firewood room had fallen and calmed down a bit, and then I walked towards Master Nan again. As I approached step by step, he suddenly knelt at my feet, kowtowing again and again, muttering incessantly, "Immortals, gods, gods......"
Immortal? Spare your life? Which one is this? Why would he shout out to the gods to spare his life?!
The more curious I was, the more I wanted to ask, and the more I wanted to ask, the more frightened he became, and he jerked his head, and there was already blood on his forehead. If he continues to knock like this, I'm afraid he will die, and I can only lightly touch the back of his head to let him faint first.
Cheng Jing saw him kowtow and fell straight down, startled, and then hurriedly walked over from the side, leaned over to test Master Nan's snort, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"He's not dead yet, but it's almost enough to let him go on like this." I said after he had confirmed, "Please let Lord Cheng vacate a remote empty room in the mansion, so that he can watch over it, and there will be no more accidents." Let him rest for a while, and ask him about the old things when he recovers. ”
Cheng Jing nodded in response, walked to the door, opened the door, and after a while, two subordinates came in, one left and one right, dragging Master Nan's two arms and walking out.
I thought he wouldn't wake up today, and wondered if he should leave first. Cheng Jing didn't have the idea of going out with those two subordinates, but walked in front of me.
"Since the matter of Nan's father-in-law has been put on hold for the time being, since Miss Niyin has already come, it is good to meet the cheap." Cheng Jing took a long time to say this sentence.
But it surprised me a little, why did he insist on letting me see Biluo?
But before I could ask my doubts, Cheng Jing already seemed to know, "She will die soon, I just hope to see you before I die." ”
Bilo, she? Are you going to die? (To be continued.) )
