Chapter 19: Change
Qin Wan sat on the cold stone bench for a long time. "Words * love * first * hair
It is somewhat inappropriate to say that she is thinking about things, because her mind is empty, her thoughts are sliding like quicksand, and when the wind blows, there is no trace, nothing can be taken away, nothing can be left; To say that she was in a daze, it would be even more unlikelyβa thousand thoughts had already turned in her head, but she couldn't find the thread.
July came several times, and when he saw Qin Wan like this, he couldn't help shaking his head, but he didn't dare to come forward to disturb.
How precocious the children of the royal family are, she has already seen it clearly, but Qin Wan is in a remote place, protected by his parents, growing up carefree, and can still be sensitive to this, it can only be the nature flowing in the blood. If Qin Wan is not a little lady, but a little Langjun, what else does Shen Man have to worry about? It's a pity...... Alas, don't say that it is a woman who marries into the royal family, even a princess who is high, if she doesn't have a son by her side, wouldn't she have any regrets?
The sunset sank little by little, and the love of July finally became restless.
The king called these soldiers to drink, but when they all arrived, why didn't he himself appear? The atmosphere in the main room was very strange, if it weren't for Zhao Su and Cheng Fang, one singing red face and the other singing white face, these soldiers would have been restless a long time ago, right?
She was anxious, but she didn't dare to break in rashly - what happened, Cheng Fang had already told her.
Both couples understand that under a series of blows, the king is on the verge of collapse and is extremely emotionally fragile. This may be the only chance for Shen Man to really enter his heart, and from then on, the couple will be single-minded, and no one will be able to separate. If she broke in directly for the sake of a few big bosses...... The love of serving Shen Man carefully for so many years is over.
After thinking about it for a long time, July could only hope for Qin Wan, she walked to Qin Wan's side, leaned down, and whispered: "Little lady, little lady?" β
"Yueniang?" Qin Wan came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"All the soldiers have come, but the king ......"
Qin Wan knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, she looked at the closed door with a strange, slightly sad look, thought for a while, and said, "You stay here, I'll go." β
July was startled, and was about to refuse, but listened to Qin Wan say slowly: "I am the daughter of Aya and A-Niang, and I have a little friendship with them, A-Niang is uncomfortable, Aya is with me, I naturally want to represent them and be the master." β
When she said this, her expression was unusually calm and calm, revealing a maturity that did not match her age. When I saw it in July, my heart was sour, as if I saw the shadow of the deceased Da Langjun from this little lady's body.
Extremely intelligent, the eldest son of the young and old king, because he is the eldest grandson of the saint, he is extremely astute, and he is deeply loved by the saint. July always remembers that when he accompanied Shen Man to wipe his tears, the proud son of heaven held his mother's hand and swore that "Auntie, the child will definitely study hard, and the child will earn back the face you lost in Aye!" β
It's a pity that such a good child is ......
"Little lady, slave maid ......"
"You listen attentively." Qin Wan smiled and shook his head, took a deep breath, held his head high, and strode towards the main hall.
As July said, the wine was set and the cold cuts were on the table, but the atmosphere was very strange. Qin Ke didn't come, Cheng Fang and Zhao Su didn't dare to shout to serve the food, let alone let the soldiers drink it. Don't say Zhao Su, even Cheng Fang complained in his heart, feeling that acting for the king was too emotional, saying that he would treat him, and when he arrived, he didn't come. The problem is that if he doesn't come now, but he doesn't tell him, it doesn't mean that he won't come later after thinking about it. Rao is Cheng Fang is very shrewd, and when he encounters this situation, he is also in a dilemma.
Qin Wan saw Cheng Fang smiling and chatting with the soldiers, thought for a while, and still called: "Cheng Erlang!" β
Cheng Fang hurriedly ran over and said with concern: "What do you want from the little lady?" β
"Let's have a seat!"
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that Cheng Fang was stunned, Qin Wan thought for a while and said, "A-Niang is not feeling well, Aya is with her, and she can't come for the time being." β
Cheng Fang is such a shrewd person, he doesn't need to guess to know that this is Qin Wan's own opinion, but this undoubtedly solved a big trouble for him, so he immediately bent down and said respectfully: "Please take a seat!" β
Qin Wan shook his head, sat down on the right side of the main seat, smiled slightly apologetically at everyone, and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Cheng Fang hurriedly said: "Open the table, serve the food!" β
When the two of them spoke, they did not deliberately lower their voices, some people had already pricked up their ears to listen, and as soon as the table opened, the atmosphere was heated up by Cheng Fang, and some people exchanged heads and ears, and gave a general explanation of the reason why the acting king could not come.
These soldiers have long been accustomed to Qin Ke's coldness, and thinking that the eldest son of the emperor still has no son-in-law, even if they are a little unhappy in their hearts, they can understand it, at most they feel that Qin Ke is too soft, and he is almost tied to the waistband of his pants by a woman. Thinking about Shen Man's kindness to them, he was embarrassed to criticize them, so he had to continue drinking.
Qin Wan knew that they would be uncomfortable if they stayed for a long time, and after sitting for a while, they were about to leave the table, Cheng Fang and Zhao Su saw this, and hurriedly got up to see each other.
The night wind, with an indescribable coolness, blew on the face, and the wine woke up halfway up. What's more, Zhao Su and Cheng Fang are both famous for their abundance, and the yellow soup is only three or four bowls in their stomachs, so they won't get very drunk.
For some reason, Zhao Su only felt an indescribable tremor covering his whole body, obviously his stomach was burned like fire by the spirits, but his skin was cold, and he felt like a dead man.
"Little ladyβ" he paused, lowered his voice, and said cautiously, "something is wrong. β
Before Qin Wan could react, Cheng Fang's complexion had changed greatly: "You mean ......?"
Zhao Su nodded and asked anxiously, "Is the wine and food poisonous?" β
"I have a habit of testing drugs with silver needles, and if there is anything abnormal, I will find out." Cheng Fang listened attentively to the movements around him, and felt that there was nothing abnormal, so he couldn't help but ask, "Can you be sure?" β
"I can't be sure, but ......," Zhao Su said in a deep voice, "I felt this way before that leopard pounced." β
Qin Wan didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle these two were playing, but it didn't prevent her from seeing the solemnity of the atmosphere, she frowned, and just wanted to say something, she saw Cheng Fang squatting down solemnly, and said to her: "Lady, you go back to the main house with me, okay?" β
Qin Wan looked at Cheng Fang, then at Zhao Su, and finally nodded and asked, "What do you want me to do?" β
"You look for Liang Hu and Li San, let them go south and north, secretly climb over the wall, and don't be discovered by anyone." Zhao Su said, "They all have fire folds in their arms, and it's best to get a little vegetable oil, no matter what, go to the firewood stack and light the fire first!" "If it's just that he feels wrong, at most he will receive a punishment and pay more money; If that's what he thinks...... These bandits must come!
The next scene was very chaotic.
Cheng Fang took Qin Wan to the main hall, and only after informing Liang Hu and Li San did he inform him of the news that someone was coming. Suddenly, the rough mother-in-law was dumbfounded, screaming and trembling. As for the soldiers, some of them had red eyes, and they were trying to vent with the strength of wine; Some of them have never seen blood at all, so they can't help but shrink a little.
At this time, Cheng Fang's eight-sided exquisiteness did not have much effect, and he tried to calm the scene several times, but he couldn't. Fortunately, Zhao Su and Qiyue surrounded the pale Qin Ke and Shen Man, who was pregnant with Liujia, arrived, and seeing that the acting king and Zhao Su were coming, all the soldiers seemed to have the backbone, and no one shouted loudly anymore.
Qin Ke's lips trembled a little, and although his expression was pale, he could barely maintain his composure. I saw him glance at Zhao Su, his voice was not loud, but it was quite powerful: "Zhao Su-"
"Humble duty!"
"Everything is left to you!" Qin Ke said word by word, very slowly, and there was a bit of sincerity in his eyes, "Our net worth and life are entrusted to your hands!" β
Zhao Su took a deep breath, clenched the long knife in his hand, and said loudly: "If you sacrifice your life, you must also protect Da Langjun!" β
When he said this, all the soldiers also reacted.
If the acting king dies, none of them in charge of guarding will be pleased, and they may end up with a family raider; On the contrary, if they die for the king, if the king returns to Beijing in the future, he will have to take care of their families.
Cheng Fang and Zhao Su had already calculated this account for them, plus Zhao Su had three orders, even if he came to the banquet, he should not forget to bring weapons, with a sharp blade in his hand, and he had a future and interests to lure, the blood of these soldiers was aroused, and he also said loudly: "The protector of Da Langjun is comprehensive!" β
Qin Wan looked at his parents with some concern, then looked at the hall and the front yard, and asked Shen Man for a while: "...... Will you die? β
Seeing her like this, Qin Ke actually looked at Shen Man as well, with a light of expectation in his eyes.
Shen Man endured the discomfort and looked extremely resolute: "No, although this mansion is a cage that imprisons us, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you are caught off guard, it is not easy to break through this place with our soldiers with bows and spears at the moment. β
The courtyard in the countryside is nothing more than a fence and thatched huts, not to mention defense, even the wild boar can't bear it a few times, but the courtyard where the king's family lives is not.
I don't know whether it was for the sake of protection or for the sake of guarding against his son, but before the king had arrived in exile, the sage ordered the magistrate of Pengze to build a thick wall for the residence of the king, which was completely according to the specifications of the county yamen, which was two or three people high and half a foot thick. It's okay to sneak in late at night, if the people in the courtyard are prepared, it is not so easy to attack with real swords.
