Chapter 391: Rivals
Because he could see that Lin Changyuan really liked that honest girl. But he didn't expect that in the end, Cong Rui's ending turned out to be ......, "Young grandma, you don't have to blame yourself for this matter." This is fate, and it is also Cong Rui's choice, and his subordinates believe it, no matter who it is...... subordinates, Cong Rui, Lin Changyuan, and even Shui Qing and Shui Zhu. At that time, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to save each other. ”
Xie Ke smiled bitterly, how she didn't understand. These guards who followed Qi Lu, these girls who followed her, who would rather give up their lives to protect her and Qi Lu.
It's just that it's a living human life. One moment she was still talking and laughing, and the next moment she was forever separated by yin and yang.
"I swore that I would avenge Cong Rui." Xie Ke said softly, but this sentence sounded like thunder in He Zhang's ears. Xie Ke's temperament is clear, in fact, Xie Ke is not a person who likes to compete for fame and fortune, and even his own young grandmother has a kind of atmosphere.
Or it would be more appropriate to call it generous.
In fact, she is a person who likes to settle things and calm people, and even would rather suffer losses than compete with others.
can make his young grandmother say such an oath, He Zhang thought with a wry smile. Cong Rui also deserved to die...... Revenge, this revenge must be avenged.
If the emperor is unkind, he will not blame the injustice of his courtiers. This is human nature, no one in the world should work hard for the emperor, but in the end he was killed by the emperor for no reason...... Everything has its own cause and effect, what cause is sown, what effect is reaped, this is the cycle of heavenly principles. No one can escape.
“…… The subordinates went to find the second master first, and the young grandmother relaxed her heart. There is a second master. There are Ah Yuan and Cheng Jin, and there are subordinates. Yecheng ...... It must be solid. He Zhang finally said in a deep voice.
Xie Ke nodded, his eyes feeling a little astringent.
In the flower hall, He Zhang's expression was condensed, the expression on his face was convincing, and outside the flower hall, the cold wind was still howling...... Xie Ke thought, it will be fine, it will be fine.
Yecheng will prosper with ****.
Qi Lu will grow up as a ****.
The subordinates will be tenacious. Even she herself will get stronger day by day. She will always be behind Qi Lu. Forever......
"Ah Zhang. Be careful. In the end, Xie Ke said with a smile, He Zhang nodded, and gave Xie Ke a big gift. In the end, he walked out of the flower hall without looking back.
Qi Lu went out with Zhou Ziqiu after breakfast. There has been no news of him.
In the past, Qi Lu went out. No matter what happens, even if you can't come back, don't forget to send a guard to pass the word. He knew that when he first arrived in Yecheng, he was unfamiliar with the place, and Xie Ke was terrified. This kind of bastard thing that worries his own woman, Qi Lu naturally won't do it.
What woman is like clothes, and brothers are like siblings.
What do you want so many siblings to do, all hands and feet, you can say that it will be done, and you will even hit the wall when you walk. It's still more important to have clothes, one piece is enough, that is, it is proper and warm, and it can also help him solve problems, which is the proudest thing about being a man. Qi Lu naturally disdains to say this to others, and others may not understand.
They weren't as lucky as him to marry a proper girl like Xie Ke.
It can be said that since the two met in the south, Qi Lu and Xie Ke can almost be called day and night, but they had to hide in Beijing for a few days, and they were only a few dozen zhang apart in a straight line. As for the way to Yecheng, the two of them are even more inseparable, eating and sleeping almost always you look at me, I look at you.
Qi Lu's slogan is, Xie Ke is the first, his daughter is the second, and he is the last.
Therefore, after Qi Lu left the house today, there has been no news back, so Xie Ke really can't put his mind at ease. Lin Changyuan followed Qi Lu, and after He Zhang saw her, he also went to look for Qi Lu. Cheng Jin is busy with the affairs of the shop, and he has been busy in recent days. Whether it was Qi Lulin Changyuan or He Zhang, no news was sent back.
Xie Ke saw the sun setting in the west, and the wind outside the window seemed to be a little stronger. Through the window lattice, you can see that the thick trees in the courtyard have been scraped almost to the ground.
Xie Ke's heart also became more and more cold with the howling cold wind.
Mingyue was carried back to the house by the nurse, and Yuhui stayed in the warm pavilion to accompany Xie Ke. "Young grandma, it's not early, young grandma should rest early. Xu is windy tonight, the second master and they have found a place to spend the night, presumably tomorrow when the wind is lighter, they will come back. "Yuhui knows that it is useless to appease, but in this ghost weather, it is difficult to send someone out of the house to find it.
It's cold, and there is a biting north wind, as long as you go out of the house, people seem to be swept up by the wind in the next moment. In such a situation, naturally you can't send people out, it's no different from sending people to death at all.
Xie Ke answered softly. "It seems that Ah Jin has to be left alone in the empty room, so you can stay overnight tonight. This wind is blowing too evilly. Xie Ke tried not to think nonsense, but just laughing couldn't let her relax even for a moment. Yuhui smiled forcefully, and then stopped talking, walking around the warm pavilion to clean up, in fact, where she needed to clean up here, she was also anxious, and she didn't want to stop when she was in a hurry.
Yuhui thinks that she is not as strong as her own young grandmother.
is also worried, her young grandmother can sit quietly on the low couch, and even taste tea with a calm expression, but she can't let herself stop, and she can't stop thinking nonsense when she stops.
Their husband and wife now live in the house, and their second master has set up a small courtyard for them and their husbands and wives.
In the past, Cheng Jintian would come back before it was completely dark.
Then I came to say hello to the young grandmother, and took her back to the yard by the way, but today, Cheng Jin also did not return home, and there was no news back.
Although Cheng Jin didn't go all the way with the second master, it was because of this that Yuhui was even more worried. It might be better if there were two people going back all the way, but the people obviously acted separately, but they didn't come back. This proves that the situation is likely to get worse. And all they can do is wait.
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
At this moment, a mother-in-law knocked on the door. "Young grandmother, Gongzi Quan asks to see." The mother-in-law's voice didn't sound real in the wind, but it was the voice. Pulled Xie Ke back to reality. Kwon Seung asks to see? At this time?
"It's so late, he asks to see, what kind of heart." Yuhui's face changed when she heard this.
At this time, Quan Sheng's request to see him was indeed abrupt. If it was a weekday, Xie Ke would definitely refuse, but tonight...... Xie Ke always felt that something was going on, but she was in the inner house, but she didn't know what was going on. There is no other way but to wait, this moment. Xie Ke blamed himself for his inability.
Quan Sheng has been in Yecheng since he entered. No matter what he did, he was under Qi Lu's surveillance, and even the secret letter he wrote secretly was also stolen by Qi Lu.
I don't know if Quan Sheng has noticed it, but he has been quite honest recently. Stay in your own courtyard all day. Even the gates of the house are rarely opened.
This time. He wants to see her?
“…… See. Let him in. "Such weather. Naturally, it was inconvenient for her to go out to meet him. Yuhui responded and went to the door to tell her mother-in-law about Xie Ke's decision. The mother-in-law nodded, a moment later. There was a knock on the door again, and the woman entered the warm pavilion first, followed by the familiar and unfamiliar figure of Xie Ke.
To be honest, Xie Ke never thought that he would be so calm when he met Quan Sheng again.
The **** enmity in her previous life seems to have gone away with her 'death'.
Goodbye in this life, Xie Ke except for laughing at his eyes in his previous life, he really felt that he had nothing to do with Quan Sheng.
The person in front of him, in Xie Ke's eyes, was actually a stranger. Even if he looked at her, it seemed to have a deep meaning. But right now, Xie Ke doesn't have the time to gossip with him. "Gongzi Quan wants to see me, but what's the matter?" Xie Ke went straight in and asked in a cold voice.
Although the expression is not condensed, it is also very indifferent.
Quan Sheng's expression seemed to sink, and the expression in his eyes was very ...... Hesitate. There was a moment of silence before Kwon Sheng spoke. "Why should the young lady be so unkind, we can be regarded as in-laws."
“…… What is my relationship with Xie Yu, don't you know. So this in-law theory is really far-fetched. Gongzi Quan asked to see him so late, there should be something important......" The implication is that if he is fine, it is better to get out quickly.
Xie Ke's obviously annoying tone really made Quan Sheng dislike.
But thinking about Qi Lu at this time...... Quan Sheng felt that Xie Ke was just taking advantage of his mouth. Since entering this Yecheng with their husband and wife, his life is called a grievance. thought that he came on the emperor's order, but no matter how bold Qi Lu was, he didn't dare to ignore the emperor's order.
He just can't be Qi Lu's 'right-hand man'. It will not be difficult to move an inch in Yecheng.
But the truth is that in Yecheng, he really can't move an inch.
is also a newcomer, Qi Lu is like a fish in water, and he ...... Fortunately, there is no way to be endless, and Qi Lu's lawless behavior is naturally unsightly, so he finally found him.
The other party told him that Qi Lu had actually been monitoring him, and even the news he sent was also intercepted by Qi Lu.
If he wants to save his life, if he wants to prosper in the future, he must cooperate with that man.
Knowing all this, Quan Sheng was naturally furious...... Naturally, he nodded to the man's words of cooperation. After that, he did everything he was told to do. He waited and waited, and finally waited for this day.
Qi Lu's good reputation, which was so easy to build, collapsed overnight. This is not the most painful thing for Quan Sheng, the most painful is ...... Qi Lu, I'm afraid there will be no return when I go out of the city this time.
The man told him to hold it for a few days before he started, but he couldn't wait. He holds the emperor's holy decree in his hand, as long as Qi Lu is gone, this Yecheng will respect him. Quan Sheng has lived for twenty years, and this is the first time that he feels so close to the pinnacle of power, and he is almost at his fingertips. Just stretch out his hand.
So, he was busy and stretched out his hand.
So at this time, he was in the warm pavilion of Qi Mansion. In front of her is Xie Ke, although she and Xie Yu are sisters of the same clan, but in the eyes of Quan Sheng, Xie Yu is far inferior to Xie Ke.
Aside from his appearance, Xie Ke's bearing around him made Quan Sheng obsessed. Xie Yu is a jealous person, and on Xie Yu's face, it seems that there is always a look of resentment, and Xie Yu seems to pounce on others at any time. No matter what, it seems that she is always right, and the wrong is someone else. In short, Quan Sheng is really disgusted with Xie Yu.
But Xie Ke is different.
No matter what time it is, she always seems to have such a calm look, even if she is worried, what she says is still meticulous and calm.
Quan Sheng believes that with Xie Ke's cleverness, it is not difficult to think that Qi Lu must be more auspicious at this time. That's why he dared to show up in a grand manner...... But her expression has not changed, and her attitude towards him is still cold and detached.
Quan Sheng hated and thought that in a few days, he would definitely let Xie Ke prostrate at his feet and beg for his tolerance.
begged him to spare the lives of their mother and daughter...... Just thinking about this scene, Quan Sheng couldn't help himself with excitement. Therefore, Xie Ke's indifferent expression at this time was undoubtedly in Quan Sheng's eyes, which undoubtedly added a little joy to his success. "Why should the young lady be so aggressive." Kwon Sheng said with a smile.
Xie Ke only glanced at Quan Sheng's expression at this time, a look that did not put Quan Sheng in his eyes.
Perhaps it was this indifferent look that made Quan Sheng angry.
“…… The young lady didn't want to know where the second master was at this time? In the end, Quan Sheng saw that Xie Ke was not moved by his words, so he had to sacrifice a killer weapon.
Xie Ke still had a faint expression, but Yuhui stepped forward a few steps, blocked in front of Xie Ke, and questioned Quan Shengdao. "Where is my second master? Why did Quan Gong know? Could it be that you have secretly arranged all this? What do you want? ”
Yuhui asked in a loud voice.
Xu is Yuhui's look to please Quan Sheng. Kwon Sheng replied with a chuckle.
"Nature is below, what is the intention? Naturally, it was on the emperor's secret order to exterminate ...... The remnants of the Qi clan. ”
***
Five miles northwest of the city.
At this time, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, even if it is close at hand, and it is impossible to hear what the person next to him is saying.
The night grew darker and deeper, and the wind was like a knife, and every time it blew, it seemed to cut off a piece of flesh.
Zhou Ziqiu was surrounded by more than a dozen errand servants, and at this time, everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Zhou Ziqiu in unison, hoping that Zhou Ziqiu would make a decision.
Is it to keep looking? Or do you want to go home?
Zhou Ziqiu was very embarrassed at this time, his robe was blown by the wind, and the lines were unfolded in the wind, as if the next moment this Lord Zhou would be defenseless. A few officials were not much better, they were all wounded, some of them had injured their arms and legs, and a few of them were seriously injured.
Get back? How do I get back...... lost the city lord, coupled with the fact that it was windy and dark here, and there were so many injuries, they reluctantly returned to the city, and before they reached the city gate, they all had to be blown to death by the wind.
Zhou Ziqiu has been in Yecheng for several years, and he can't guarantee that he won't get lost in the wind.
What's more, the newcomer has just arrived in Qilu.
Thinking of that Second Master Qi, Zhou Ziqiu felt that his whole heart and liver were cold. After the coldness, he felt that he was the county commander of this Yecheng, inside and outside this Yecheng, big and small things, which was not handled by him personally. But the city wall he personally handled collapsed for no reason.
He sensed something was wrong, so he begged Qi Lu to go out of the city with him to check it out.
But I don't want to...... (To be continued.) )
