Chapter Forty-Eight: Drinking to Kill Sorrows
At sunset, Xie Ning took Qin Feng's "free ride" to the Jingping Marquis Mansion. Of course, she still got off the carriage at the main gate first like she did on the day she went to the racecourse last time, and then quietly slipped back to the back door of the Hou Mansion and returned over the wall while no one was paying attention.
Xie Ning acted like this, he would rather trouble himself than tell Wuji to stop the carriage behind, in addition to being embarrassed to trouble others again, he didn't want them to worry about her situation. It's a pity that she thought things through so thoroughly, but she only missed a little.
Still outside the back door, at the corner of the alley, the curtain next to the carriage was lifted by the person in the carriage, revealing a fair and handsome face. The face that could be impressive at a glance was lost by the tightly knit brows.
"Lord Wang, are we going back to the house?"
The sound of inquiry from outside the car made Qin Feng come back to his senses slightly, he replied lightly "no", his thoughts continued to immerse, from Xie Ning's unintentional truth this morning, to the back of her leaving, countless pictures flashed in his mind, which made his heart dull pain, but he also gave birth to an impulse.
After a full quarter of an hour, Qin Feng commanded: "Send someone to send a letter to Xiao Yan and ask him to come to the Soft Red Mansion." ”
"Yes."
The carriage drove up, and the traceless response was almost drowned out by the sound of wheels, and at the same time, the curtains on the carriage were also lowered, covering Qin Feng's face and the pair of thoughtful eyes.

Changle Fang soft red building
In a side room on the fourth floor, there are no half-faded clothes, plump and delicate beauties, no eyebrows and eyes, and exquisite figures, only a wine jar piled on the ground, and a lonely son who drinks alone to the moon.
Xiao Yan pushed the door in, and what he saw was such a scene, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness of the last time they met, and sneered without any scruples: "I thought you kid was enlightened, let's say, what are you doing with me in the soft red mansion?" ”
Hearing the movement, Qin Feng raised his hand to pour the wine for a moment, but he was silent.
As a close friend, Xiao Yan had long been accustomed to his silence from time to time, so he didn't take it seriously, walked to Qin Feng and sat down opposite him, sniffed the wine, and asked out loud, "What about the traceless people?" It's rare to have such a mellow Hantan incense, why doesn't he come out to have a drink with us? ”
As soon as the words fell, a gray shadow jumped down from the beam, Xiao Yan was startled, shook his hands and poured a lot of wine, but he ignored it all, and complained to himself: "The soft red mansion is our own territory, you hide your head and tail like this, is it necessary." ”
Without a trace, he did not answer, but made a vague look. After many years of tacit understanding, Xiao Yan can still read the eyes of the traceless hint, put away the indecent banter on his face, and when he looked up again, he had already changed his expression, and was about to ask, when he was attracted by one or two wine marks on Qin Feng's white sleeves.
He frowned, and went to pull Qin Feng across the table, "What the hell is going on with you today, you spilled wine on your body, and you didn't notice it?" ”
Qin Feng was pulled up by him, his eyes were full of drunkenness, and he didn't know if he heard this sentence, so he broke free from Xiao Yan's support, and went to the wine place with a slight sway, and drank freely by himself.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help sighing, turned around and said, "No trace, I'll clean up here, you go and help your prince change clothes." ”
"Huh," no one responded, Xiao Yan looked around in wonder, but still didn't see a traceless figure, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This guy slips away fast every time." ”
After complaining, Xiao Yan still resigned himself to walking in the direction of Qin Feng, bent down to pull him up, simply sat cross-legged on the ground, sat beside him, rolled his eyes, knocked on the side, and said, "What did you do today?" Has the emperor summoned you to the palace? ”
"I never entered the palace."
Xiao Yan touched his chin and continued to ask, "Is that Qin Xi coming to trouble you again?" ”
"With him, he can't help me."
"Heh," Xiao Yan smiled, and suddenly found that the person in front of him was drinking a jar of wine, but he changed his previous silence, and when he answered, he asked without fear of death: "The cold pool is fragrant and cold, and the stamina is great, and there is no such heavy drinking as you when you use wine to eliminate sorrows, what happened, just say it, maybe I can still have a way to solve it." ”
Hearing this, Qin Feng stopped his movements, put the wine jar on his lap, and looked at him deeply, his eyes thoughtful.
Seeing his hesitation and consideration, Xiao Yan's eyelids jumped for no reason, and he said in a panic: "Don't tell me that Master Xiao has gone wrong and failed to send three hundred recruits to you." ”
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with this, it's Xie Ning." ”
"It was for her," Xiao Yan pursed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "In the past, you were only a ruthless person, and you didn't want to be tempted, but you became an infatuated species." I really don't know where this girl can get into your eyes, just because she stood up in Ruyifang? ”
With a smile in his eyes, Qin Feng's tone suddenly became very light, "I have had a few encounters with her before. ”
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, reached out for a jar of wine and held it in his arms, and said while unsealing it: "Ten thousand flowers pass through it, and the leaves don't stick to it, so I am also a romantic person, why can't you learn from me." ”
"The person who seems to be ruthless, but in fact is infatuated, is not me."
Being mercilessly pointed out by Qin Feng, Xiao Yan's expression froze, his eyes suddenly widened, and he pounced, "Mocking me so vigorously, are you drunk?" ”
Stretching out his arm to block Xiao Yan's attack, Qin Feng pulled out a bitter smile, "Nine points of drunkenness, only one point of awakening." ”
"Hmph......" Catching a glimpse of Qin Feng's ugly face, Xiao Yan swallowed the ridicule that came to his lips and said solemnly: "Send someone to call me, won't it just let me drink with you?" Shaining, what's wrong with her, you tell me clearly, and I can help you come up with an idea. ”
Hearing this, Qin Feng's action of taking the wine jar froze, and his right arm was hanging in the air before he could retract it, and an astringent voice came out, "She didn't have an accident." It's just that for some reason, I'm a little sad today. ”
"It's normal for a little girl to not be enlightened, and she doesn't understand your mind. Look at the opening point, why be disappointed because of this. ”
"If it were as simple as you said, I wouldn't have borrowed wine here to kill my sorrows," after a sigh of emotion, Qin Feng continued: "You also know that I asked her to help me train the army, I don't deny it, I do have a selfish intention, I want to spend two more days with her, and I want to give her a credit." But she is indeed a rare general, you don't know, A-Ning is familiar with military books, can understand maps, and once captured three Miao soldiers, and took the city full of women and children to guard the city for ten days, and she is only thirteen years old now. Such a strange person, how can I not treat Qin Feng with courtesy and hand over the heavy task of training soldiers? ”
