Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Rumors Are False
"Although King An went to Yandi to suppress bandits, he was guarded by his subordinates and soldiers, so you don't have to worry."
"What Uncle Pei said is extremely true. I only took into account that His Highness was ill, but I forgot that he was accompanied by other people when he went out. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how long I would have been worried? ”
Xie Ning fell to the ground with emotion, but in exchange for a glance from Pei Xinghai, he saw a faint smile in his eyes, and said pointedly: "King An's trip to Yandi to suppress bandits is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. Why should you worry? ”
"Why did Uncle Pei say this?" Qin Feng was in such a difficult situation, how could her worries be meaningless? At first glance, hearing Pei Xinghai's words, Xie Ning was puzzled, his eyes fixed on him, and he asked urgently.
But seeing Pei Xinghai's expression was indifferent, his face was indistinguishable from joy and anger, and he paused for a moment before he spoke: "You get along a lot with King An, you might as well think about it, whether he is really as sick and weak as the rumors in Beijing, and ignore everything." ”
Xie Ning's heart sank, and a chill seeped out of her bones, making her lose the ability to defend all of a sudden. Just because she knows it well, what Uncle Pei said does have some truth.
Fragments of past relationships unconsciously surfaced in front of me. The first time I met in the suburbs of Beijing, the first time I met Ruyifang, at that time she didn't know the identity of Qin Feng Tianhuang noble, and then it was the invitation on the day he opened the mansion, Xie Ning went to the banquet with the post, but because of Gao Yiyan, she fought with Qin Xi, the king of Xuan, and it didn't take long for her to hear from the mouth of the traceless that Qin Feng was designed to suppress the bandits.
She thought of Qin Feng's seriousness when he studied the book of war, but she also thought of his idea to secretly bring three hundred recruits to Tianlin Fang before the holy decree was issued, thinking of his generosity when he purchased horses, as well as his rumored but actually superb equestrian skills.
What if this matter of suppressing bandits is what he will calculate? What if Qin Xi's design was exactly what he wanted?
was pointed out by Pei Xinghai's words, Xie Ning couldn't help but be suspicious of Qin Feng. One question after another emerged from her mind, and she couldn't answer them, so she unconsciously clenched her fists, but touched layers of cold sweat overflowing from her palms.
The heart seemed to be empty suddenly, but she didn't know the reason for her loss.
Is it because he thinks Qin Feng is scheming? But there is King Xuan on the side, pressing each other tightly, if he is for self-preservation, it is common sense to secretly arrange, it is not unexpected, it is not worthy of her reaction. What's more, Qin Feng has always been upright, how could she associate her deep scheming with him?
Is it because you are involved? But if you think about it, from beginning to end, she is the one who even affects others. If it weren't for her pointing out the Ruyi Fang to deceive a thousand people, the Qin Feng brothers might just be ruined, but they would not be coerced, let alone hated by Qin Xi. If she hadn't recklessly attacked King Xuan in the palace, Qin Feng would not have competed with Qin Xi in order to protect her. As for the training of soldiers, on the surface, it seemed that Qin Feng had asked her. But Shainin knew in his heart that there was still an agreed deal between the two, not to mention, he could show his strengths and help him suppress bandits, Shaining couldn't ask for it.
Is it because you think he is hiding something and is not sincere? But this is Qin Feng's own business, why tell her about this irrelevant person? Besides, she didn't notice it, she never asked, so how could she 'hide it'.
Countless thoughts turned in his mind, and his mind turned back and forth, but Xie Ning just let his thoughts drift away, extending little by little to the depths of his memory, like a helpless drowning person, trying to repeatedly evoke that vital aquatic weed.
A faint sourness spread from the bottom of my heart and spilled all the way to my throat. There had been silence in the carriage for a long time, and when she noticed Pei Xinghai's inquiring gaze, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
She didn't feel that Qin Feng was scheming, she didn't feel that he was burdening herself, and she didn't feel that he didn't tell her that there was something wrong. What made her depressed turned out to be her own negligence and ignorance of Qin Feng.
After knowing each other for a few months, the two met from the beginning to gradually become close friends, sharing weal and woe, and confiding in each other. After close contact, she didn't know the ambition in Qin Feng's heart, it wasn't that she hadn't discovered the untruths of the rumors, but she had never thought about what kind of ambition he wanted to achieve, and she had never asked him where his tricks and superb equestrian skills came from.
She also boasted that she cared about Qin Feng, thinking that she was his confidant. How can she have such a close friend in this world, and she doesn't even care about the things of her friends.
Xie Ning's eyes flashed with self-deprecation, he took the poured tea from a few on the side, put the tea cup in his hand to his mouth, and drank it all as soon as he raised his head in a drinking attitude, as if he wanted to swallow the sourness in his throat and the self-reproach in his heart.
Pei Xinghai, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and said a little eagerly: "You girl, what Uncle Pei just said, it's just a guess, the truth has not yet been determined, where is it worth your unhappiness?" ”
Shainin shook his head silently, but did not explain out loud. Onlookers are clear, Pei Xinghai may just be a casual guess, but Xie Ning is in the game, and after this point, he has already understood.
is also a prince who has already been crowned a king, even if Qin Feng is frail and sick, and his biological mother died early, he can't be taken seriously, but Qin Xi has already designed murder with bad intentions, if he doesn't want to go to Yandi, he can also use his illness to excuse himself, so why not push and take this errand?
Knowing that Qin Feng must have been prepared, no matter what, since he was safe and sound, why should Xie Ning worry about it?
Thinking of this, Xie Ning only felt a sudden change in front of her, she raised her head, looked at Pei Xinghai's caring eyes, hooked a smile on the corner of her mouth, poured a cup of tea, handed it to him, her face was full of lightness, and her tone was bright, "Uncle Pei, don't worry, I didn't think much about it, and I won't be unhappy because of this trivial matter." ”
"Hehe," after a short silence, Pei Xinghai's laughter came from the carriage, and after seeing that he was happy, he lowered his head and picked up the teacup, and then glanced at Xie Ning with relief, drank two sips of tea, and then said slowly: "That's fine." Don't worry, although I don't have to go to the military headquarters these days, I can also ask someone I know well to pay attention to the report from Yandi for me. If there is any news, I will send someone to inform me immediately. ”
Although Qin Feng was not unprepared, the bandits in Yandi were not so easy to clean up. Although he had confidence in Qin Feng, Xie Ning did not push away Uncle Pei's kindness, and nodded busily: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you, Uncle Pei." ”
(I made an oolong before, thinking that I had pushed it up, but it didn't.) )
