Chapter 347: The Secret Chai Yu Brought
Late at night in early autumn, the Qinchuan Mountain Village, where the stars are close to thousands of households, is deep in the cold night. The person who flashed by was in a fast shape, Chen Qiuniang was not a martial arts talent in the first place, and her health has deteriorated in the past two years, so she didn't catch up with that person at all. But even so, she chased it out. The person in front of her kept some distance from her, as if to lure her out.
The two of them ran out of the village one after the other, and the man suddenly stood still on the ridge where the grass was full of beans and seedlings, and turned around. Chen Qiuniang also slowed down, stopped ten meters away from him, borrowed the faint light of the sky, and saw the man's black night clothes and face cover.
"With such a dim light, you don't cover your face, and I can't see who you are." She smiled, in a casual tone, as if she was catching up with someone.
"I don't know if I'm friend or foe, you dare to come rashly, and return this tone. Should I admire you or sympathize with you? The man said.
His voice was deliberately low, and Chen Qiuniang couldn't tell who it was. But she thinks that the more this happens, the more it proves that the person is an acquaintance. And this man did not do her any favor, but led her here, most likely not an enemy. Therefore, she said directly: "If it is an enemy, I will admit it." If you are a friend, but you don't know what your friends have to teach here? β
"In this world, do you have to give it?" The person asked, his tone uneven.
Chen Qiuniang was stunned, secretly thinking that this person really knew her, otherwise why would she ask her this sentence. She slowly took a few steps forward and said, "Everyone has a destined person, and for this person, this destined person is part of his destiny. If you meet him, you have to be him. β
The man in black heard. Haha laughed, laughed so much that he bent down, the laughter was not loud, but it became more and more sad.
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Qiuniang asked aloud, and at the same time, she also quickly searched for which person this person might know, but this person was obviously carefully disguised, and even such an undulating laughter did not show any flaws.
The man ignored Chen Qiuniang's inquiry, and laughed straight for a while. Finally squatted on the ridge. Asked: "You think he is fate, and you know what he is when you are?" β
"He treated me very well." She replied. Once, she also guessed how good Zhang Ci was to herself. But there are so many rights and wrongs to experience. She thinks Zhang Ci loves her more than anyone else. Even more than I love him.
"Excellent?" The man in black spoke sarcastically.
"Yes." Chen Qiuniang replied, but she was wondering in her heart: This person said this, could it be that he wanted to slander Zhang Ci. Or is there some conspiracy?
Who the hell is this person?
Chen Qiuniang thought freely, and the man smiled sarcastically: "A blind eye, how many women in the world have died of such stupidity." Look at the jade pendant on your body, is there any change? β
This question made Chen Qiuniang's heart sigh, because when she met the old lady outside Luoyang City, she touched the jade pendant, and at dusk, she seemed to faintly see that there was a streamer lingering in the jade pendant. At that time, she was busy on the road, so she didn't take a closer look, and in the farmhouse before, because of the proximity to the Qinling area, she was a little worried, and she didn't check carefully.
"What's your business?" Chen Qiuniang retorted.
"Take it out and see if what I say is true or false." The man sighed.
Chen Qiuniang didn't follow him, but said: "Since you brought me here, you have something to tell me, why bother beating around the bush, it doesn't look manly." β
The man stood up lightly and stood on the ridge of the grassy field, looking at her through the weeds and vines of early autumn. Chen Qiuniang also stood still, waiting for him to answer in the autumn wind. After a long time, she felt that her legs and feet were a little numb, and then the man suddenly said, "Qiu Niang, come with me, don't care about Zhang Ci." β
"Your Excellency said that Zhang Ci is my husband, and who are you, you don't even show me your face, but you asked me to leave with you." Chen Qiuniang replied with a sneer.
The man walked slowly towards him, then tore off the face towel from his face and said, "Look carefully." β
Chen Qiuniang squinted her eyes and took a closer look, because the light was too dim, she turned a few directions before she saw the pair of bright eyes, and couldn't help shouting: "It's you?" β
"It's me, long time no see, Qiu Niang." He whispered, softly.
"yes. Long time no see. Chen Qiuniang also whispered. When I think of the past, I feel guilty.
"I thought that if I found that secret army, I could rule the world for you, return you a prosperous peace, and protect you for a lifetime, but in the end, I am just a chess piece, and my own destiny is in the hands of others, so how can I protect you?" Chai Yu's tone became more and more bleak.
Chen Qiuniang was sad to hear it, once upon a time, when she learned that the Nine Great Families used the pattern of world affairs as a chessboard, her fear of fate was also so powerless.
"I originally thought that one day I would be able to escape from the Zhu Mansion and live the most ordinary life with Aunt Yun. But Aunt Yun died, and I did. Qiu Niang, when I learned your identity, I had the heart of the king for the first time. I thought I would be able to protect you if I came to dominate the world, but in the endβ" His tone was pathetic, and later, he choked up.
Chen Qiuniang felt very sad and painful, but she didn't know what to say, she just stood in front of him, looked at him close to him, and pursed her lips tightly. After a while, he asked: "Big brother, since the last time Cangzhou was goodbye, you went to Bianjing." Later, there was no news of you, where have you been in the past few years? β
"I don't have the army, and I don't have you. What kind of king in the world, revenge for his father also seems ridiculous, moreover, there are people sent by Zhang Ci to look at me, heh, I can't move an inch, and in the end, I worked as a nursing home in a rich family in Bianjing, and my life is also leisurely. Chai Yu slowly talked about the experience of the past two years, and his tone was full of self-deprecation.
Chen Qiuniang was speechless about this, because when dealing with Chai Yu's issue back then, she was selfish after all and disregarded friendship.
After Chai Yu finished talking about what had happened in the past two years, she saw her standing in front of her with her head bowed slightly, knowing that she was guilty that she had not stood by his side that day, and her heart was also sour. But after so many years, he has gradually come to understand that human fate is sometimes really uncontrollable. A few years ago, there was still a little resentment towards her, but in the past two years, only thoughts remained. Now, knowing such a shocking secret, he spent a lot of effort and followed those people all the way, from Bianjing to Yuzhou, then from Shuzhong to Luoyang, and then from Luoyang all the way to Qinchuan with Chen Qiuniang. Because tonight, the guard who was traveling with her secretly ran out to plan something else, so he showed up and lured her out, wanting to tell the truth. But will this stubborn woman believe in herself?
Chai Yu silently looked at the woman in front of him, this life is chaotic, the only one who doesn't care about his identity, completely ignores the white eyes of the people around him, and the only person who cares for him is Aunt Yun. That early spring, the sun was shining, he thought he would be killed, but she appeared, and she stood in front of him like a bright peach tree, and from then on, it bloomed quietly in his life, never withering. He didn't want her to become someone else's pawn and victim. Even if he knew that the man could cover the sky with one hand and turn over the clouds and cover the world with his hands, he would have to fight with his life to protect her, even if he couldn't protect her for a lifetime, he would protect her for a while.
"Qiu Niang, Chai Yu never lied to you, right?" He asked her.
"The eldest brother's sincere heart is to Qiu Niang, and Qiu Niang is guilty when she thinks about it." Chen Qiuniang whispered.
As soon as he heard this, he made a request that he also found ridiculous: "Don't ask for such politeness. I, Chai Yu, have never deceived Chen Qiuniang in my life, and now, if you believe in me and follow me, okay? (To be continued......)
