Chapter 271: Heartfelt
After Qiao Wei was brought back to the house by Tingyu, Jin Yi was shocked when she heard the news, although she expected it in advance, she didn't expect those people to really attack Qiao Wei so quickly, and she already understood in a blink of an eye that the marriage between the Zhongyi Mansion and the Xie family had been implemented, and this act of not taking the Zhenguo Mansion in her eyes must have angered them in the end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jin Yi examined Qiao Wei's injuries, except for the corner of her forehead and the damage to her hands and feet, she was fine, and she was finally relieved.
When she was about to take the medicine, Qiao Wei woke up slowly, and when she saw Jinyi, she cried loudly, opened her mouth, and a jade whistle fell out of her mouth. As soon as she saw the rain, she fainted with relief, and the whistle was always in her mouth.
She sobbed, "Miss, the slave maid had thought about it at the time, if I was really captured, I would rather kill myself than confide in half a word." ”
Jin Yi was heartbroken and held her in her arms, "Don't have such stupid thoughts anymore, no matter what happens, I can protect you." ”
Qiao Wei nodded again and again in Jin Yi's arms, and remembered something again, "This whistle can't be blown, I thought I couldn't hear the rain,...... But he still came. ”
Jin Yi also felt strange, "It is said that he should have been near you all along, why were you robbed in the city, and he only came to Zhongshan when he arrived, which is three or four miles away." ”
At this time, in the courtyard outside the house, Tingyu was kneeling in front of Sima Yulou, recounting the incident, and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates left their posts without permission and almost killed Qiao Wei, so I begged the prince to punish him." ”
When Sima Yulou heard that the coachman mentioned the courtyard, he thought for a moment and understood that Zhongshan was a royal hunting ground, and not everyone could build another courtyard on it, only the Duke and above could ,...... The Zhenguo Mansion did not hide what it did this time.
He immediately smiled coldly, in Huan Ting's eyes, it was just a slave to go to interrogate, such a trivial matter really didn't need to be made a big fuss, presumably in his mind, he was still not taken seriously.
Sima Yulou smiled disapprerovingly, his temperament was already extremely forbearing, and he was despised by the enemy at this time, but he was not angry but happy, and looked down at Tingyu, "Why did you run to Qingxi?" ”
"......" opened his mouth when he heard the rain, only to feel ashamed and embarrassed, and he couldn't speak for a while. If it weren't for her impetuousness, how could Qiao Wei be robbed in the city.
Sima Yulou didn't know what he thought, and a narrow smile rose on the corner of his lips, "It's good that it's empty, you arrived in time again, and you didn't really make a mistake,...... Such a heroic opportunity to save the beauty is rare. ”
The last sentence was as low as a gnat, and it fell into Tingyu's ears lightly, and he lowered his head and was stunned for a long time, but his mood was still low.
Sima Yulou saw his look in his eyes and couldn't help laughing, it seems that this kid is sincere.
The next day was Cheng Lei's wedding, but the scene was unexpectedly lively.
He is the general manager of Yishantang, although he is only a businessman, but due to the unique operation of Yishantang, he has been in close contact with the wealthy and powerful people in Jianye in the past two years.
The dignitaries and Cheng Lei are not as high-minded as ordinary businessmen, but they often ask for businessmen or high-class attendants in private, so today's wedding banquet, most of the nobles in the city came.
But when the next person came to report that the Zhenguo Gonghuan Court had arrived in person, Sima Yulou, who was sitting in the chief, was still a little surprised, and went out with Cheng Lei to greet him, and called Xie Weiran, who came with him today, to go together.
Xie Weiran had never seen Huan Ting, and after greeting behind Sima Yulou, Huan Ting looked at the son of the Marquis of Anbian, who was guarding Beisai, and said in a light tone, "I heard that most of the military in Beisai is now presided over by Xie Yuma, and he is really young and promising." ”
Xie Weiran's heart was slightly cold, knowing that he was referring to the refusal to move the Prefecture Assassin Mansion to Beisai.
Over the years, Anbian Marquis Xie Kuang didn't know whether he was deliberately cultivating his eldest son, or he was really old and had limited energy, and most of the military affairs had been handed over to Xie Weiran to deal with.
He respectfully bowed his hand, "Grandpa has won the award, my father has suffered frequent old injuries in recent years, his energy is not as good as before, and he is often anxious in his heart, for fear of delaying military affairs, and he has the high hopes of the saint and his grandfather." ”
Huan Ting bowed slightly, with a meaningful smile on his face, "An Bianhou was born in a humble background, but he was brave and good at fighting, and he was really a rare fierce general in my Huajing. The most important thing is that now that he is in a high position, he still does not forget the old master in his heart, which is really commendable. ”
Turning his head to look at Sima Yulou, his smile was meaningful, "I heard that Hou Ye Xie was recommended by your father at the beginning, so he became a guard under his grandfather. ”
Sima Yulou's smile was as light as a spring breeze, "My father traveled to the rivers and lakes back then, and he knew more people. ”
Ever since the relationship with Yishantang became clear, he knew that sooner or later the Zhenguo Gong would notice that the group of martial artists in his father's hands had flowed into the army. But now those people are already scattered, and they can't be regarded as the power of Chu Chen's palace.
In the past few days, Xie Weiran has often mentioned the events of the year intentionally or unintentionally, Sima Yulou knows in his heart, Xie Kuang's father and son are probably expressing their heartfelt feelings to themselves.
It's just that although the confrontation with Huan Ting is inevitable, it is not yet ripe, and before the cause of his father's death is ascertained, Sima Yulou really does not want to show his edge too early.
It was unexpectedly for a person of such status as Huan Ting to come to the wedding banquet of a businessman. He didn't really feast with everyone, Sima Yulou and Cheng Lei sat in a side hall for a while, and then left.
Before leaving, he seemed to inadvertently say that the Xiongqu Battalion guarding the Beijing Division was going to recruit more sergeants this year, and asked Cheng Lei if there were any candidates for recommendation in Yishantang, Cheng Lei was surprised, but his face was not shown at all, and he smiled respectfully: "The grass people are businessmen, and they are not familiar with the fact of recruitment in the army. ”
Huan Ting smiled slightly, said no more, and left.
After returning home that day, Xie Weiran was a little breathless, found Sima Yulou, and said solemnly to him: "This time I came to Beijing, my father told me to tell you a word, the kindness of the old prince back then, he has not forgotten it for a day, if he has any orders in the future, the Xie family will never give up!" ”
Sima Yulou sat quietly with his eyebrows raised, for a long time, a faint smile appeared on Qingjun's face, and he said calmly, "Weiran, what my father did back then was not for his own selfish interests, and he finally cut off contact with you, and he didn't want everyone to feel ashamed and form a party for personal gain. Your Xie family guards the barrier for the country, you just need to remember the four words of loyalty to the country and it is enough. ”
Xie Weiran stared at him, in the past few months, he has tried several times, but he has always been pushed by him pretending to be confused, and he inevitably regrets in his heart, feeling that he is a person who has no ambitions, only knows how to be obsessed with business and profit, and is willing to be idle.
Now after hearing these words, I suddenly realized that I didn't say anything more, but said: "I will return to Beisai in a few days, and I will tell my father what you said." (To be continued.) )
