Chapter 44: The daughter repents and becomes a Zhuge
When Shen Huaixin went back, it was getting late, and he saw the faint fluorescence from the grass hut from a distance, and when he thought that Miao Ling was waiting for him inside, he suddenly felt a sense of happiness and joy in his heart, which he had never had before, and he had never expected. In the past, he also returned late, and Miao Ling was waiting, but at that time, he had no worries about food and clothing, lived the life of a superior person, never considered life and death, and the word "down" was always him as a bystander, and others were the parties. Now, the situation has changed in an instant, and he can't help but smile bitterly to himself, at the moment, he is not even as good as a beggar begging on the street, and this life can be counted down. But in such a predicament, how can you still have the love of this life by your side, isn't it God's favor and gift?
On the way back, Shen Huaixin hunted a pheasant and picked some wild fruits to simply satisfy his hunger. Pushing the door in, the mess was swept away, and although the furnishings were simple, only a long table made of wood and a wooden bed, they were all clean and spotless. And his beloved wife Miao Ling was sleeping on the long table, and she looked very tired. Shen Huaixin approached quietly, and looked carefully under the candlelight, the original white and tender face was covered with a lot of ash, and what was even more interesting was that the tip of the small and delicate nose just wiped the deepest dirt, which made Shen Huaixin feel distressed and funny, and couldn't help but make a slight sound.
Kong Miaoling just rested, and she didn't sleep steadily, in fact, since he came back, she had already guessed that Huaixin was back, she deliberately refused to get up, and it was also the little girl's playful nature, so she took advantage of Huaixin's lack of vigilance, suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Wang." ”
This sound did scare Shen Huaixin, but her silver laughter quickly made Huaixin realize that it was just a joke. As a result, Huaixin also pounced on a whim to hug Miao Ling, but he pounced at a critical moment. It turned out that Miao Ling dodged lightly and ran out from the side, and the two of them suddenly got on their bodies and played a game of chasing and hiding in that small grass hut.
After chasing for a long time, Huaixin never had the upper hand, pretended to be discouraged and surrendered, lowered his face, and said, "If you don't play, don't play, you're going to starve to death." ”
Miao Ling looked at him, didn't think much about it, then relaxed his vigilance and came to Huaixin's side, but unexpectedly, just approaching, a hand suddenly stretched out towards her, she instinctively wanted to hide, but it was too late, a moment of effort, the whole person turned around, directly into Shen Huaixin's arms.
Miao Ling was displeased at the moment, and kept twisting her body to protest, "You cheat! ”
Shen Huaixin said with a smile, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating. ”
"You! Quibble. ”
"It's called flexibility."
Miao Ling struggled in his arms for a moment and then didn't move, which was their favorite way, and Huaixin hugged her tightly from behind, face to face, feeling each other's even heartbeats and breathing. At this moment, Huaixin's arms tightened again, as if to shove her into his own body, and then merge into one.
"Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest." Shen Huaixin groaned softly.
"When disaster comes, they fly separately." Miao Ling couldn't help but giggle when she said that.
Huaixin immediately said angrily, "It's a catastrophe that is coming, and we will fly hand in hand." ”
Miao Ling smiled and teased, "Where did the hand come from?" ”
Huai Xin knew that he was joking about his speech sickness, so he immediately picked up Miao Ling's hand and said with a smile, "That's it." ”
Miao Ling blamed him for comparing his hands to the claws of a bird, turned around and pouted, "Have you ever seen such a beautiful bird's hand?" ”
Huaixin smiled embarrassedly, and raised his hand to interlock his fingers with Miao Ling's hand.
"Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son."
The candlelight reflects the delicate red and lovely faces of the two, like a sunset. Miao Ling leaned into the arms of the faith, listening carefully to the sound of his heartbeat.
"We won't stay in this place for long, for the sake of today, we have to do our best to save the first day of the new year."
Miao Ling raised her eyes and looked deeply, "Do you have a way?" ”
Huaixin shook his head, "I'm going to try to contact Uncle Shanggong first." ”
"Gong Jiu'an?"
"Yes, he is my father's right-hand man, loyal to my Shen family, on the day of the funeral, he also reminded me that he wanted me to take the throne as soon as possible and stabilize the regime, but I was eager for revenge and refused to listen, which led to today's tragic situation."
"This is not what you expected, Liang Shaohui has always been docile and obedient, even in front of you, he is respectful, soft-spoken, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, he has been planning for this mutiny for a long time, but the cover-up work is excellent, you and your father are focused on how to deal with Lu Xiaoqian, so they suffered a big loss. But in my opinion, he Liang Shaohui is suffering from internal and external troubles, and he has no foundation, not only will the eldest sister not support him, but he may also incur the rebellion of his subordinates. The Shen family has been established in Liaodong for three generations, and the foundation will not be destroyed so easily. However, if you have made the illusion of falling off a cliff, if he believes, he will persuade Chu Yi to surrender, but Chu Yi is upright and loyal to you, and he will not obey, and for a person like Chu Yi who is loyal to the Lord, he has only one end..."
Huai Xin said, "Die." ”
Miao Ling nodded and continued, "But, if Liang Shaohui doesn't believe it? ”
Huaixin continued, "He will also test my life and death on the grounds of strangling the first year, so the first day of the first year is still dead." ”
Miao Ling said again, "As for Uncle Gong, he is highly respected in the army, he is the master of the Liao army, and he plays a great role in the Dinghai Divine Needle. Whether he is obedient or not, Liang Shaohui will not touch him in the slightest. So..."
Huaixiang slapped the table hard, "But it's not easy to save the first year of junior high school." No matter which way it is, Liang Shaohui is now a big bargaining chip, and he will definitely send more people to take care of it. For now, there is only one person who can help me. ”
Miao Ling sighed lightly and comforted, "I know you have a problem in your heart, but you are flesh and blood, just like no matter how much you suspect her, even if all the evidence confirms that she is a mole, you will not kill her, let alone hurt her." It's the same for her, it's the same for you. She paused and looked at Huaixin affectionately, "Although you and her are at odds on weekdays, you recognize each other's identity as relatives in your hearts." Therefore, even if she is unwilling, she will not let her husband usurp the power of her mother's family. But, if—" At this moment, Miao Ling was extremely nervous, she wondered too much about how Huaixin would handle their relationship if she knew the truth.
"What if?" Huaixin's eyes were clear and bright, like stars in the sky.
Miao Ling bit her lip and was ruthless, "If, the eldest sister is replaced by me, or if I make an unforgivable mistake, you suddenly find that the wonderful spirit you have always identified is not the wonderful spirit you think in your heart, one of them is an angel and the other is a devil, what are you going to do?" ”
Miao Ling looked at him expectantly, but saw him frowning slightly for a while, and then said with a smile, "You confused me, what if the eldest sister is replaced by you, what angel and devil, are you playing a guessing game with me?" ”
Miao Ling couldn't wait to ask, "In short, if I made an irreparable mistake, what would you do?" ”
Huaixin raised his eyebrows, "Then tie up that devil, enlighten him carefully, and turn it into an angel too." ”
Huaixin's answer surprised Miao Ling, and she didn't answer for a while, and when she reacted and was about to confess all the truth, she saw that Huaixin had already gone to light the fire, and muttered, "No matter what the big thing is, fill your stomach first." ”
In other words, Liang Shaohui really didn't fully believe that Shen Huaixin fell off the cliff and died, thinking that he Shen Huaixin loves to travel the mountains and rivers the most, in this place in Liaodong, there is no second person who is more familiar than him, not to mention, Shen Huaixin's car skills are outstanding, it is impossible to see the cliff and not find a way to curb it in time, which is clearly not like his cautious and steady way of doing things.
But the tire tracks and the car that fell under the cliff are all evidence, and Liang Shaohui thought hard all night, but he never understood it. Seeing that he couldn't sleep all night and had no countermeasures, his cronies pondered for a long time, and said, "Don't forget, we still have that New Year's Day." ”
A word wakes up the dreamer.
Liang Shaohui immediately came to his senses, "Yes, the good student entertained on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and issued a notice early tomorrow morning, saying, 'The secretary secretly collaborated with the enemy on the first day of the new year, forged telegrams, assassinated the marshal, the evidence was confirmed, and he was hanged at noon'." ”
This notice was not only circulated in the army, but also posted on the main road in the urban area of Liaodong, and the news of being hanged on the first day of the new year became the most exciting news after the death of Shen Boyong, the king of Liaodong. Of course, Shen Huaixin, who infiltrated Liaodong City in disguise, also knew immediately, and he immediately concluded that Liang Shaohui's move was to confirm the truth of his life and death, and at the same time use the first day of the new year to lure you into the urn and never suffer in the future. But now that time is pressing, even if you risk death to sneak into the Shuai Mansion and see Shen Huaijin, it will be too late for her to stop her.
He was pondering and thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly he was poked in the back, and he instinctively pressed the pistol on his waist with his hand, and when he looked back, it was the old king of Jishitang.
Lao Wang was invited by him to manage Jishitang, he was a teacher, and his ancestors also had people who were among the Jinshi, but he lost his position in the officialdom, and no one has been ranked since then. Lao Wang loves to read, but he is a helpless person, and then he was involved in a theft lawsuit, or Huaixin helped him win, and then, Huaixin saw that he had a lot of management skills, so he asked him to take care of Jishitang.
Lao Wang was very vigilant and took Shen Huaixin into a narrow alley, and whispered, "We all know about the young master, I heard that the young master fell off the cliff and died, but I didn't expect that you are still alive." Lao Wangqing was excited, his voice trembled more and more, and a clear spring was in his eyes, which made people very moved.
"That's my plan to get out, I don't want Liang Shaohui to believe it in the end."
Lao Wang said, "We all know that Secretary Nian is going to be hanged. ”
Huaixin hurriedly said, "I'm also worried about this matter. ”
Lao Wang looked left and right, "Wang is not talented, he has been favored by the young master many times but has no way to reciprocate, today the young master is in trouble, Wang will be the saddle before and after the horse, go all out." ”
"Do you have a way?" ”
Lao Wang said, "If you cut off your head, I really can't do anything." But whoever told him to be hanged. Young master, think about it, how many people are in our Jishi Hall, and there are some of them with special skills, that Asu is used to using flying knives, and if we create some more turmoil below, we can take advantage of the chaos to rescue Secretary Nian. ”
Shen Huaixin thought about it carefully, and felt that it was inappropriate, "What if they shoot and injure you, besides, then Liang Shaohui has just sat in the position of the handsome, and he will definitely kill a hundred people and establish authority among the people, so how can you get out?" Not good, not good. ”
Lao Wang insisted, "We people were originally the people who the Lord of Yama fancied, only because of your appearance, our life has been preserved to this day, without you, we have no place to live, no food to eat, children can not study, if we say the past, we can not repay your great kindness, now there is just such an opportunity, you will fulfill us." You don't have to worry about our safety, walking the streets and alleys is our specialty, it's a big deal, let's go out and hide first, and when you return to the military and political power, young master, we will come back. ”
Lao Wang was very persistent, but Shen Huaixin was disrespectful and had to agree
