Chapter 187: Choking
The figure was very familiar, Xie Ning raised his eyes and almost laughed.
But seeing Jingyuan come forward, he filled the tea cups next to everyone's hands one by one, and although his movements and demeanor looked extremely steady, he squeezed his eyes at her without a trace when he walked to Xie Ning's side.
Although he knew that the other party was just quietly greeting him, Xie Ning couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and when his figure was about to disappear from sight, he stood up calmly and followed out in the name of water escape.
Jingyuan is full of martial arts, so she can naturally notice Xie Ning's movements, and before she can call out, she has already turned her head away, and said in a familiar tone: "Donor." β
The two got along several times, and the relationship was already intimate, so Xie Ning didn't greet him, and after pulling Mingshuang closer, he asked directly: "Jingyuan, who is responsible for today's lunch dishes?" β
"It's our uncle, the master in the temple." Jingyuan replied without thinking.
The doubts in his heart were not dispelled, and Xie Ning couldn't help but say something to confirm: "Really? That spicy bamboo shoots are also your uncle's handiwork? β
Jingyuan understood what Xie Ning meant, and it didn't take much effort to react to what she said, but she was stunned for a while, and said in a trance: "I don't know this." However, except for the uncle in charge of the kitchen in the temple, no one can enter. Even when I went in to steal food, I was punished by the host master for not knowing how many times. Today's dishes should be made by him himself. β
Seeing that he was not very sure, Xie Ning became more and more suspicious in his heart, so he asked again: "Then has he ever made such a taste of vegetarian food before?" β
Jingyuan touched his nose, "That's not true." β
Xie Ning couldn't help but turn his head and exchanged a worried look with Ming Shuang. Jing Yuan. Knowing that there might be something strange in it, he took the initiative to propose: "Why don't you wait for me to investigate?" β
That's a good idea. Xie Ning doesn't want to speculate with malice, Jingyuan is a little novice in Fuwei Temple, and he is lively by nature, even if he asks a few words, I'm afraid it won't make people think much.
Xie Ning turned his mind around, and nodded to Jingyuan, "That's fine." I'll send the ears of grain out later, and you can figure it out. So he came here to look for her. β
"Okay."
Shainin is walking with Mingshuang this time. It would be strange to leave her waiting here. Thinking of this, she had no choice but to make an agreement with Jingyuan to ask Gu Sui and others to come out and meet him.

On the outskirts of Beijing, next to the tea house
A double-topped carriage drove slowly. This is very common on the busy official road. Neither the pedestrians passing by nor the guys in the tea house careless. Unintentionally glanced at it. Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, he went to work on other things by himself.
"Hey, Qin Ziyue. What are you going to do? β
The sound came from the tea house, and the man heard it, but when he saw the rich boy who had arrived at the store early by the window, he suddenly stood up, looked at the carriage that had not yet reached the tea house, and shouted without hesitation.
However, the carriage did not stop because of him, and the son was so angry for a while that his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he ran to the center of the official road, blocking the road and shouting: "No trace!" Qin Ziyue! Don't pretend you can't hear you! β
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to block the carriage's way. Only then did the carriage stop leisurely, and I saw the gray-clothed man driving the car calling the other party: "Young Master Xiao." β
"Hmph," Xiao Yan glanced at him coldly, and then bypassed the other party and entered the car.
Inevitably obstructing pedestrians, without a trace, the carriage drove to the open space in front of the tea house. When the guy saw this, he thought that the group of people was going to enter to talk, but the people in the car didn't mean to stop at all, so they had to stop in a sneering manner.
However, it was said that in the carriage, Xiao Yan and Qin Feng sat opposite each other, and Xu Banxia, who was originally sitting in this position, avoided the other side of Xiao Yan's side. There was a movement, but no one made a sound.
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xiao Yan with a slight surprise, and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask?" Didn't you get up early today just to wait for me? β
Xiao Yan looked stunned, and after thinking for a moment, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly asked in a realization: "You had already planned that I would wait for you here?" β
"It's not entirely certain," Qin Feng said with a shallow smile on his lips, "I'm only seventy or eighty percent sure." β
"Hehe," Xiao Yan sneered and said aggressively, "Since you know that I will come to stop you, don't you know how reprehensible your actions are?" β
Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and he looked at him meaningfully and said, "I'm just going out once, why do I attract any criticism, you can't help but worry too much." β
"You dare to say that you went out in such a hurry, not for Shainin?" did not shy away from Xu Banxia, Xiao Yan opened his mouth directly, but the involvement between Qin Feng and Xie Ning in his heart was by no means as resistant as it appeared on his face. However, as Qin Feng's friend for many years, it is inevitable that he will be entangled.
Qin Feng intends to store the position, and Xie Ning is just the daughter of a five-rank military attachΓ©, even if she is appreciated by the emperor under the secret promotion of the other party, it is really difficult to match the dragon son who is the prince of the dynasty. What's more, Shainin now has a marriage contract with someone else.
But Qin Feng's mind was undisguised in front of him, he hoped that the other party could withdraw as soon as possible, but he also didn't want him to be hurt by Xie Ning.
In the final analysis, it is still the love word that misleads people. I don't know what to think, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly deepened a little, and he sighed secretly in his heart.
Qin Feng naturally saw his appearance in his eyes, but replied quietly: "I went out this time to discuss the matter of peace in Shu with others. β
"It turns out that you went out for this matter," Xiao Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly felt relaxed, glanced at Qin Feng's face, and said casually: "I don't know how they talked with Miao Jiang?" β
"As we expected, it should be fine." Qin Feng bowed slightly.
Xiao Yan also nodded, and after a pause for a while, he couldn't help frowning and complaining: "No, since you came here for this matter, didn't I run for nothing today?" β
"Heh," Xu Banxia, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly chuckled, turned his head to Xiao Yan and said, "You are going to follow me to Fuwei Temple later, but it is not a vain run." β
"To Fuwei Temple?" Xiao Yan glanced at her in surprise. didn't take what the woman next to him said, and said to Qin Feng very funny: "Ziyue, isn't this aunt you invited to be joking with me?" β
Xu Banxia pursed his lips, but did not make a sound. Instead, Qin Feng glanced at Xiao Yan coldly, and said briefly: "She said well. β
"Why?" The sarcastic smile on Xiao Yan's face instantly froze, and he couldn't hold back the strange emotions in his heart, and asked directly: "Even if Xie Ning is in danger, she has now made a marriage contract with Wei Qingyang. Which of you and me do you think is suitable to go and relieve her? β
Qin Feng's eyes flashed slightly. lowered his eyes and said, "If it weren't for something at this moment, I couldn't leave." I won't ask you to go. β
"Heh," Xiao Yan laughed angrily, and mocked sharply: "Even if you have nothing to do, Fuwei Temple is not the place you should go." Qin Feng. Don't forget who you are. How many people are eyeing you, both openly and secretly. Even if you don't care about exposing your weaknesses. Don't you even mind Shainin's safety? β
Seeing that Xiao Yan's emotions were very excited at the moment, Xu Banxia frowned and was about to speak. Qin Feng's still calm voice came from his ears-"She'll be fine." β
"Will it be okay?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and bit the syllables heavily: "Yes, she is protected by six secret guards under the command of King An's Mansion, how can something happen?" β
Qin Feng turned his head away when he heard this, and his eyes moved to the window, his eyes were indifferent, he didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xiao Yan didn't plan to let him go, "Since you are sure that nothing will happen to her, why do you have to go to such trouble as to ask me to go?" β
After a long time, Qin Feng Qingyue's voice sounded in the carriage. Xu Banxia couldn't help but raise his head, but seeing the soft color on the other side, he said softly: "I admit that I care too much." Xiao Yan, you must not know how much I want to see her. But as you said, the timing is not right, the occasion is not right, the identity is wrong, and my appearance in Fuwei Temple will only add to her troubles. I want you and Banxia to go, not to ask you to help her support her, or to solve any difficult things, but just to let you see how she is doing at this time, so that I can feel a little more at ease. β
Since the two met, it was the first time that Xu Banxia had seen Qin Feng's defenseless appearance, and he couldn't help but be moved, and only looked at Xiao Yan after a while.
Xiao Yan didn't have any superfluous expressions on his face, but his thoughtful eyes still revealed a few thoughts. After a long silence, he said angrily: "You deserve it." How many chances did you have with Xie Ning at the beginning, you didn't tell the other party what you wanted, and you actually pushed her to Wei Qingyang's side. It's good now, but in this situation, I think you're going to turn things around? β
As soon as he said this, Qin Feng's face immediately darkened. After Xiao Yan finished speaking, his face was even more ugly, his eyes flashed, and he said in a cold tone: "You also know in your heart who is in Fuwei Temple right now. Take advantage of this opportunity to make things clear to the other person. β
"Heh," although he knew that his move was a personal vendetta, Xiao Yan's heart still sank, and he looked at Shang Qin Feng with a very clear gaze, so he had to pretend to be unharmed and sneered: "Don't worry." I understand the truth of judgment very well, so that I will not be as unclear as you. β
Qin Feng smiled noncommittally and responded, "That's fine." You and Banxia can ride over, and I'll ride the horse you came on. β
"Huh? So who's going to drive? Is it traceless? Seeing him arrange like this, Xiao Yan couldn't help asking.
Qin Feng smiled slightly, his gaze swept over the two opposites, but he said ominously: "Traceless with me." β
"Then ......" Xiao Yan glanced at Xu Banxia hesitantly, wrinkled his face, and said tentatively: "Miss Xu, I don't know who will drive you and me?" β
"Naturally, it's you," Xu Banxia glanced at him, and choked without thinking: "Otherwise, it's still my aunt and grandmother?" β
Xiao Yan didn't expect her to hold such a grudge, she looked a little embarrassed for a while, subconsciously touched her nose, and coughed lightly: "Uh...... It's okay or good, but I'm not good at control, so I ask the girl to take care of me. β
Xiao Yanhua is famous, Xu Banxia didn't have a good impression of him, and after meeting him a few times, his impression was even worse. Now seeing him so reluctant, he couldn't help but glance at him and said, "If Xiao Gongzi also comes by carriage today, I'm afraid you won't have to condescend in person." β
Xiao Yan was the one who was angry, and immediately sneered: "If Miss Xu is a man, you and I can ride a horse together like the two of them, and we don't have to take a carriage." β
"You-" Not wanting to be compared to a man by Xiao Yan, Xu Banxia couldn't help but be angry, and glared at the other party unabashedly. Until Qin Feng got out of the car and left, the anger in his heart had not completely disappeared.
"Gong, Gongzi."
The carriage that stopped at the door finally moved, and the guy in the tea house looked up inadvertently, and couldn't help but stutter, but his eyes lit up instantly, and he led Qin Feng in very respectfully.
"I haven't arrived for many days, if it weren't for the fact that Gongzi just got off the carriage, I'm afraid that the little one is standing on this day, and I don't know if you are here." The guy led Qin Feng into his seat while greeting him courteously.
It's not the boy's fault, the tea house is here, and there are many cars and horses passing by in a day, where is there any bother to pay attention to an ordinary carriage passing by for a while. What's more, Traceless already has a face that is extremely easy to ignore.
Qin Feng didn't answer, just smiled.
"Childe is here to see the person he wants to see today?" There was no one in the shed, but the young man still subconsciously lowered his voice.
Qin Feng shook his head, raised his hand to pick up the warm tea brewed just right on the table, and said lightly: "It's not here yet, I'm going to wait here." β
***
After Xie Ning asked Jingyuan, he didn't stay outside, but went straight back to the back of the Qinglian Palace. In addition to secretly instructing Gu Sui to wait for Jingyuan's echo, he only said a few words to Liu Yueshu beside him from time to time.
"Cousin doesn't need to eat?" Liu Yueshu saw that Xie Ning had never moved his chopsticks, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Xie Ning looked at the empty celadon bowl in front of him, but he didn't answer in a hurry, but first swept around the table with his gaze, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Naturally, I want to eat." β
At this time, the table was full of people, except for her, who were all eating. It's no wonder that Liu Yueshu asked this.
Inevitably, his actions during the banquet seemed too strange, Xie Ning turned his mind, and immediately raised his chopsticks and picked up a few green leaves and put them in his mouth. But the path seemed to be specially prepared for the pine bamboo shoots lying in the clouds, but Xie Ning never moved.
However, she had already explained it, and it was not surprising in the eyes of everyone. No one asked, Xie Ning was of course happy and relaxed, turned his head, and talked with Liu Yueshu about the sky again.
On the other hand, Xia Rouyu beside her was a little depressed. Because Xie Ning and Liu Yueshu were closer, Xia Rouyu had to sit on the edge when she sat down. And this position is really awkward. (To be continued.) )
PS: Guess what, can Xiao Yan have a smooth showdown with Gu Qingyun?
