Chapter 19: The Unpredictable Mind of Ignorance
Su Yu stood in front of the window, his eyes looked into the distance, his position, he happened to see the city gate, there were a few guards standing resolutely on the city wall, the sunset was gradually sinking in the west, listening to the sound of even breathing in the room, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Lian Qingcheng was lying on the bed behind him, and the whole person had fallen into a deep sleep again on the way here.
"Now that you know who she really is, I hope you can act as if nothing happened."
Feng Guixie sat at the table, looking at the person on the bed with soft eyes, but his words were directed at Su Yu.
Shen Immortal Pavilion does not have a person with excellent medical skills, the injuries on her body need to be diagnosed and treated, once the doctor is invited, just take the pulse, her identity cannot be concealed at all, until now, he has no intention of hiding it for her, Su Yu and the four of them trust each other with her, if one day they know that the so-called "childe" is actually a daughter, what will they think of her, it is better for him to make a decision for her as soon as possible.
Su Yu turned around and glanced at Lian Qingcheng who was unconscious, he should have seen it, he should have understood it a long time ago, she often said that he was smart, but why he couldn't see it so obviously, even Qingcheng's whole person, in addition to the pride and grandeur of that body, where was there a shadow of half a man, he was blinded by the wholehearted loyalty after all, and at this moment, he really understood his heart.
He stared at Feng Guixie and sneered: "What is the name of 'nothing happening', the fourth prince, I Su Yu asked myself to be the master of this Shen Immortal Pavilion, except for Gongzi, I don't care about anyone else, since she believes in me, she will not be afraid that I can betray her, in this world, I only listen to the words of even Qingcheng alone, others, nothing." ”
"Now that you know who I am, you should know what she saved you for that day."
After listening to Feng Guixie's words, Su Yu clenched his fists tightly, he knew it, how could he not be clear, from the beginning, even if she didn't say that he was in a clear state of mind.
"So what, Su Yu, after all, it can only be Lian Qingcheng's Su Yu."
It won't be his own, and it won't be anyone else's.
People live in the world, everyone is chasing something, but often lost on the road, if the heavens can see clearly, maybe will understand what people want in their hearts, and give each other a journey back through the creation of popularity, even if they know that the person is not the ultimate fate, with joy and sorrow to win a period of no regrets, this life will have no regrets.
And he only wants to accompany her for the rest of her life, even if all her efforts are for another person.
Feng Guiyi looked at him lightly and didn't speak, this person has a maturity and scheming that is different from other peers, and even very similar to himself in some aspects, but he can't say why, he just believes that Su Yu would rather give his own life for Cheng'er than confess his feelings, so they can't talk about opponents at all.
"This prince has a big gift to Shen Immortal Pavilion tomorrow, I hope that when the time comes, you don't refuse."
"Why?"
Su Yu looked at him unhappily, since he had already decided to send it, why should he tell him in advance, this kind of tough tone made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Liu Muxian and the queen jointly calculated and injured her leg, I don't think you will give up."
Feng Guixie squinted his eyes lightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Su Yu had an epiphany of the meaning of those words, sneered, and mocked: "Liu Muxian and Nian Yingchuan's biggest failure in this life is that they can't let the emperor kill you early. ”
Night fell completely, a black shadow fell on a corner of the city wall, and several stones flew out of their palms, fast and silent, and several soldiers fell to the ground before they even knew it.
The two guards guarding the city gate heard the movement below, and were about to run up with their knives, but a man came up to them.
"Where are the two big brothers going?"
The guard saw that the person who came was dressed ordinarily and looked ordinary, and said impatiently: "The city gate has been closed, go quickly, we still have something to do." ”
"Big brother is busy, I have lived in this city for more than ten years, Kyoto City has not happened for a long time, don't see my mediocrity and want to drive me away and deliberately bluff me, I just won a lot of money, I was happy to buy two bottles of good wine, I was looking for someone to drink, but I happened to meet two big brothers, come on, let's drink together!"
One of them was a little greedy, his eyes stared directly at the wine in the man's hand, and he forgot about the business he was busy with, and he licked his tongue and was just about to walk up, but his arm was pulled by another person, "The guards can't drink, the general found out that he was going to lose his head, when can't you drink this wine, you don't want to die!" ”
"This eldest brother is very dutiful, but you stay up all night guarding the city here, and the general with the guard is afraid that he will get drunk and fall in his daughter's hometown."
Although the words are ugly, they are very real, especially when they poke into the hearts of the two, defending the city is a chore, they stand here all night in thirst and sleep, but they still can't escape the punishment of the general, if they can be promoted, how can they live worse than those people.
Seeing that the guards of the two guards began to relax slowly, the man unintentionally pulled out the cork of the wine, and the aroma of the wine wafted into the noses of the two of them.
"If you don't say it, I won't say it, won't no one know about it if we drink together? If the two eldest brothers still have to think about it, I don't have much wine in this bottle. ”
The man rolled up his sleeves and wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and swept the wine bottles one by one in front of the two of them with raised eyebrows.
"No matter, Lao Tzu wants to drink!"
One of the guards put away his knife and took a big sip of the wine bottle, and when the other saw it, he also left all the military laws and regulations behind, grabbed the wine bottle and took a sip.
"This wine"
"I'm dizzy."
The two staggered, and before they could react, they fell to the ground holding the wine bottle.
At the beginning of the night wind, a heavy sound sounded at the city gate, and two solid wooden doors were opened from the inside, and the moon was faint, as if nothing had happened, but the storm was coming.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Lian Qingcheng endured a sore body and opened her eyes, the faint candlelight flashed in the room, she was stunned for a while before remembering where she was, tilted her head to look, and sat at the table alone.
"Su Yu?"
She hesitated and screamed, how did he give her a feeling today that seemed to be a little different from usual.
"Well, Childe woke up?"
Su Yu responded softly, and walked over to help her sit up, "I was frightened yesterday, and I was suddenly picked up by someone in a good manner, how could my son have been so seriously injured." ”
He regained his uninhibited body, and in front of her, he was still like himself, still like a weak child who needed her protection.
Lian Qingcheng smiled embarrassedly with a white face, and his whole body was weak.
"I also think that yesterday was really too weak, only this son has always bullied others, this time with the Tao of Queen Liu, one day, I will let the Liu family be destroyed in my hands."
Su Yu just listened quietly to her resentment and did not speak, and the sound of a hawker selling came from the window, but more was the sound of sobbing.
"What's going on down there, early in the morning, how can anyone be crying?"
"It's nothing, is Childe hungry? I'll have someone cook your favorite meal. ”
Su Yu asked her gently, but Lian Qingcheng shook his head, stared straight into his eyes and said, "You must have something to hide from me, what's wrong?" ”
He knew in his heart that with her intelligence, he couldn't hide anything from her eyes, and met the stubbornness in the eyes of the water, he sighed: "Last night, the guards guarding the city were drunk and mistaken in their duties and were opened by the city gate, today a large number of homeless people suddenly poured into the city, and they robbed when they saw food, even if Shenxian Pavilion was rich, only a small number of people could be helped, and the number of homeless people was large, once the guards in the city were suppressed, it would soon cause a riot, and the palace had received the news, and the emperor sent someone to give a decree to the ministers. The ministers are almost all gone. ”
"I've never heard of a disaster in a place before, how can there be so many displaced people all of a sudden, and still be able to flood into Kyoto overnight?"
"Childe didn't know, these homeless people are all from a place called 'Black Wind Village', this village is only two days' walk from Kyoto City, but not long ago there was suddenly a group of bandits on the mountain behind the village, they robbed and burned all kinds of evil, all the valuable things in the village were plundered, and the houses were also burned to ashes, and the villagers had no choice but to gather together and rush to Kyoto."
After listening to Su Yu's words, she sat on the bed and thought secretly, if the emperor wants to calm this restlessness, he must find a stable place for the villagers, although Kyoto is prosperous, the excess land is still too little after all, and the best way is to rebuild the villagers' homes, and if the villagers want to live with peace of mind, they must remove the threat caused to them by the bandits, and this move is bound to send people to lead the troops to quell the thieves
"Su Yu, prepare a fast horse for me, I want to catch up with my father before he enters the palace."
