Chapter 135: The Loneliest Man
The scent of lavender instantly filled her surroundings, and the soft clothes slid down her cheeks. Chen Qiuniang lost her mind instantly, and suddenly found that she was quite tall among the nine-year-old girls, but it only reached his chest.
At this moment, she felt that this thin teenager was actually quite tall. When Zhang Ci saw her standing still, he gently let go of his hand, and his voice was like a breeze blowing through the field, like a low piano sound, and he said, "What's wrong with you?" It's not what you look like when you're in such a hurry. ”
Because of the numbness of his legs, Chen Qiuniang still maintained the posture in his arms, but he gently moved to a place half a meter away from her without a trace and stood still.
What am I like? Chen Qiuniang asked herself, raising her eyes to look at his face. He lowered his head, his eyes as gentle as a calm lake. Chen Qiuniang felt that the moment they looked at each other, she was flustered. So he immediately pretended to bend down to beat his legs, and finally adjusted his breathing, and then said calmly: "Don't go to find someone to confront me, I came here, although the route is nine bends and eighteen turns, there may be someone to follow, or there will be someone else in the Zhang Mansion." The person who can confront me must be the one who holds the core secret of the firearm, your trump card, and you don't take any chances. ”
Zhang Ci stood still and didn't move, and a strong wind came out of the window, which made the window rattle and blow his clothes flying, which was very good-looking.
Chen Qiuniang thumped her legs for a while, stood up, remembered his eyes, but didn't dare to look at him, just stood in front of him, lowered her head like a little daughter-in-law, and continued: "Besides, there are many ways to verify me. Like writing on paper or something. I don't want the technical staff to be exposed, you suspect that I deliberately set up a bureau to find out the technical staff today. ”
"You're so young, but you always think so much." Zhang Ci finally spoke, his tone did not fluctuate at all, and he couldn't hear joy, anger and sorrow at all.
Chen Qiuniang still lowered her head and said, "I just don't want to have unnecessary trouble, I don't want to be played as a fool, and I don't want to give bad people a chance to take advantage of." ”
"And what do you say?" Zhang Ci asked, his tone still calm.
Chen Qiuniang was surprised, this kind of strategizing noble son, who grew up from a small group of stars and holding the moon, handled everything by himself, how could he have asked other people's opinions. She couldn't help but glance up at him, and saw that he was looking at her seriously. She couldn't help but panic for a while, immediately lowered her head, and said a little eagerly: "I wrote it on paper, wouldn't it be good for you to find someone to verify it?" If not, I say, you relay it to him. ”
Zhang Ci was silent for a moment, then walked to the window and said loudly: "Xiao Qi, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are waiting." ”
"Come this way." Zhang Ci turned around and said to Chen Qiuniang, and then strode downstairs. The numbness in Chen Qiuniang's legs had long passed, and she followed him with her skirt at this moment.
The wooden staircase rotates, and the light and shadow go on and off. Chen Qiuniang suddenly felt that getting along with this person here, it turned out to be the most relaxed feeling in her heart after coming to this time and space. But she obviously came to talk to this person about cooperation, and there was nothing between them. For some reason, she somehow felt that this person could be trusted.
It is dangerous to blindly trust a person for no reason like this. When Chen Qiuniang was still Jiang Yun, she often warned herself like this. Now, she is once again alarming herself in her heart, and she has warned herself many times.
Zhang Ci went downstairs, stopped in the living room on the first floor, and a handsome little guy flashed in outside, and asked with a smile: "Second son, which set of pen and ink to choose?" ”
"This girl wants pen and ink." Zhang Ci pointed at Chen Qiuniang.
The little guy was still smiling and agreed: "Okay." Then he looked at Chen Qiuniang for a moment and said, "I'll go and prepare for this girl." ”
After the little servant made a gesture to the two, he flashed into a room next to him, which was about the study.
The two stood in the hall, Zhang Ci turned his back to Chen Qiuniang, looked at a pot of orchids in the corner in a daze, and whispered: "Qiuniang, since you can analyze so much, you should know who my enemy is." ”
"I can guess." Chen Qiuniang replied, seeing this man's back, there was an indescribable loneliness. At this moment, she suddenly understood that maybe his moodiness was just pretending. It's impossible for a person like him to get too close to anyone, not to care too much about anyone, and not to have real friends or anything.
"Then you shouldn't have come, and if you came, you should know what the result was." Zhang Ci whispered.
Chen Qiuniang was stunned, remembering that at the junction of Linqiong and Meizhou, in front of so many people, he had a cold face and cold eyes, and his eyebrows were full of sarcastic laughter, and then asked her to get out. His appearance made her unable to see the truth or falsehood, and she had no sense of acting. She had doubted that this qiē should be like this.
But at this moment, in this light and shadow, he asked those words in a low voice, although his tone was calm, Chen Qiuniang suddenly peeked into his heart. This teenager is actually very lonely. Perhaps because he was born intelligent, he had to be destroyed. He did not dare to approach anyone and become friends with anyone, because his fate destined him to be a burden to anyone. As a result, he could only be alienated from anyone. It seems that he has an entire powerful family, but in fact, his ruthlessness, violence, moodiness, etc., make everyone dispensable to him. Or this qiē move, but because of the uncertainty of the future, the protection of the people around you.
And he himself is so lonely, all his thoughts have to be suppressed in his heart, and he faces all kinds of robberies and killings again and again. Chen Qiuniang just stood like that, thinking that when she first saw him, in addition to the new injuries on his back and legs that were bleeding, there were also many old injuries. Those wounds may be just robbery and killing.
I don't know why, Chen Qiuniang felt that at this moment, at a glance for ten thousand years, she actually saw through the loneliness emanating from the bones of this young man. At this moment, she only felt a pain in her heart.
Outside, there was another gust of wind, which caused the curtains to rise and fall. Only then did Chen Qiuniang realize what he had just said. She replied, "Even if I knew what the possible outcome would be, I had to come." ”
Because of her words, he suddenly turned around, looked at her with a solemn expression, and asked, "Why?" ”
Chen Qiuniang was a short distance away from him, and in the shadows of the trees, she looked into his eyes without fear, and said very calmly: "Because apart from you, I don't know who can help me." I don't know who I can trust but you. ”
Oh, yes. This is not sensational words, this is Chen Qiuniang's true thoughts. The people she knew, no one had the power to compete with the Zhu family, which had an industry in every state capital, except for the Zhang family; There is no one she knows who can make her feel trustworthy, except for Zhang Ci. For some reason, she just felt that she had nothing worth Zhang Ci's calculations, even if she was really the daughter of Madame Hua Rui, or the princess of Hou Shu, she also felt that the young man in front of her had nothing to plan for her.
As soon as Chen Qiuniang said this, Zhang Ci was startled, and then stood there like a statue, just looking at her. After a long time, he moved his lips and spit out: "Blind." ”
She didn't speak, but the little guy came out of the door and said with a smile: "Back to the young man, this girl's pen, ink, paper and inkstone are ready." ”
Zhang Ci waved his hand at the man, and the man retreated. Zhang Ci didn't greet Chen Qiuniang either, and walked straight in. Chen Qiuniang followed on her own.
This room is a small study, inside is a small black wood bookcase, in front of the bookshelf is a large black lacquer desk, behind the desk is a black wood chair, and under the window is a bamboo couch. Zhang Ci entered the room, lay down on the bamboo couch, pointed to the table, and said, "The four treasures of your study, write it." ”
Chen Qiuniang didn't speak, she walked straight over and took a look, the brush was a small brush suitable for her, a soft wolf hair, specializing in writing hairpins. The ink in the inkstone has been polished, and the unicorn paperweight has paved the way for a living announcement.
She dipped the ink unhurriedly and raised her eyes to look at Zhang Ci, who seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed. That sleeping face is really good-looking, it's the kind of handsome sleeping face that is just right. One more point will appear feminine, and one less point will feel too masculine. Although Nian Nu is so beautiful that people are stunning at a glance, but in the end it is too feminine, this Zhang Ci only felt handsome at first sight, but he didn't expect that this time it looked different, and he looked handsome more and more every time.
Well, it's about the time when this boy hasn't fully grown up, and now is the time to grow his body, and the smell of this man is manifesting itself. Chen Qiuniang carried a pen there unscrupulously admiring beautiful men, thinking about something that she didn't have.
"Have you seen enough?" Zhang Ci suddenly spoke, his eyes still closed.
Chen Qiuniang was startled, and she didn't speak to explain, for fear that the more she explained, the more chaotic it became. Zhang Ci had a smile on his lips, turned over, turned his back to her, and said, "My son's patience is limited, and you have wasted a lot of my time." I didn't treat you very well in the first place, and if you're still so sluggish, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to convince me. ”
When Chen Qiuniang heard this, this person was clearly going to give her a chance. Her heart, which had been empty, suddenly felt a lot more steady, and she immediately picked up the pen, walked around the dragon, and reorganized the knowledge of physics, chemistry, kinetics and other principles of firearms and wrote it down.
Zhang Ci was still lying on the bamboo couch with his back to her, as if he was asleep. Chen Qiuniang walked over and shouted softly: "Second son, I'm done writing." ”
Zhang Ci didn't respond, and Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but bend over to look at him. Seeing him from the side, he actually showed a little childishness.
"I'm still a kid, but I have to face so many conspiracies and killings." Chen Qiuniang sighed in her heart.
"What do you think? Breathing heavily. Zhang Ci suddenly spoke.
Chen Qiuniang was so frightened that she immediately straightened up and said, "Second son, I've written it." ”
Zhang Ci opened his eyes peacefully, Shi Shiran got up, stretched his waist, took the answer she held in his hand, looked at it, and put it in his sleeve. Ask: "What do you want me to do for you?" Bulldoze the Zhu family? ”
Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "Since the Zhu family is from the background of the imperial court, if it is rashly eradicated, it will be redeployed by the imperial court, and then the various systems of the Zhang family will also have to be redeployed, and it will be chaotic." I'm here to tell you now, just want you to help me rescue Chai Yu. ”
"And then?" Zhang Ci asked very seriously.
"I hope that the second son can help me eradicate Zhu Wenkang's secret guard and lure Nian Nu away. I'll do the rest. Chen Qiuniang said that she was judging the current shape in her heart, and it seemed that Zhang Ci was willing to help her. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"Don't you want me to know about your plans?" Zhang Ci asked casually, and slowly walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down. RS
