Chapter 173: What You Want
Lu Wanwan's expression was very generous, she looked at Li Wei opposite with a smile, and said frankly: "Recently, my general's health is not safe, and I want to go to Fahua Temple to pray for a blessing, and ask the Buddha to bless my general's recovery quickly, I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness the Prince here, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence!" ”
Li Wei's face became more and more unsightly, he naturally didn't believe Lu Wanwan's words, he only felt that she had treacherous intentions, and he didn't know what tricks he would play again.
"In that case, then Mr. Lu, please." Li Wei said expressionlessly, and with a wave of his hand, he asked his subordinates behind him to get out of the way.
Lu Wanwan smiled and hugged his fist at Li Wei, and slowly walked forward with his horse, when he passed the carriage, he suddenly stopped, turned to Li Wei and said: "Your Royal Highness, dare to ask, who is in this carriage?" ”
Li Wei's face suddenly changed again, and he replied in a very unkind tone: "Doesn't Mr. Lu feel that he is too lenient?" Who is in this carriage and what does it have to do with you! You'd better leave quickly, or don't blame me for being unkind. ”
"Why is His Royal Highness the Prince so angry, Lu is absolutely not malicious, but he is very curious about the identity of the person in the car, if it is a certain noble person in the palace, then Lu must want to pay a visit, so that he will not lose the etiquette of my Zheng family, Your Royal Highness the Prince of the World, are you right?" Lu Wanwan was still calm and relaxed, and said helplessly with a light smile.
Li Wei wanted to have a seizure, but he desperately held back, it was really because Lu Wan brought too many people than him in the evening, once he turned his face, he was afraid that he would not be able to get a little good, so he had to suppress the fire in his heart and said word by word: "Mr. Lu is polite." In the carriage is the female dependent of my Qin Palace, and it is really difficult to meet a foreign man. ”
When Lu Wanwan heard this, he immediately made a look of surprise on his face, and said loudly: "Oh? Could it be that the person in the car is the princess, then Lu must be going to meet her, and the princess doesn't come out to meet, but Lu has a few words to bring to the princess for my general. ”
Li Wei was suddenly angry, and couldn't understand why Lu Wanwan was so entangled, and said in an increasingly bad tone: "It's not my mother concubine in the carriage, but a distant cousin of mine. Mr. Lu, don't mess around anymore. Otherwise, I'd be really welcome. ”
Jian Yu in the carriage had been listening to the movement outside, and since Lu Wanwan appeared, he felt a little strange, and then listened to the conversation between Lu Wanwan and Li Wei. He was already sure. This 'Mr. Lu' in Li Wei's mouth is here for them. Jian Yu decided to seize this opportunity, if they missed this time, they would probably find it difficult to escape from the Qin Palace.
Jian Yu was under Li Yufen's surprised gaze. pushed open the car door, jumped out of the carriage, and said aloud to Lu Wanwan's back on horseback: "In Xia Jianyu, I don't know what Mr. is called?" A trace of surprise flashed on Lu Wanwan's face, she didn't expect Jian Yu to come out of the carriage directly, her body stiffened slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, she pulled the reins of the horse and slowly turned around, smiled at Jian Yu next to the carriage, and said: "In Xia Lu Ren, could it be that Jian Gongzi is the cousin of His Royal Highness the Prince, it is really strange, strange!" ”
Li Wei was so angry that he couldn't speak at this time, he couldn't wait to stuff Jian Yu back into the carriage in person, Lu Wanwan's words were simply slapping him in the face, why did Jian Yu do this now, did he think that this Zheng family would save him from leaving, how could he be so ignorant of good people's hearts, and he took them back to the Qin Palace, naturally he didn't want to embarrass her, as long as they went back with her, they would be fine, but he didn't believe in himself, he wanted to believe the ill-intentioned Zheng family, that Zheng Houzhong's ambition was obvious, If he knew the identities of Jian Yu and Li Yufen, he would definitely use them for his own benefit, who would care if they lived or died!
Jian Yu didn't know what Li Wei was thinking at this time, he just looked at Lu Wanwan on the horse in a daze, a thick look of confusion flashed in his eyes, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his eyes did not leave Lu Wanwan's face for a moment, he stared at her for a long time, as if he was thinking about some eternal problem, and he was speechless for a long time.
Lu Wanwan didn't know if Jian Yu recognized her, but looking at the expression on his face at the moment, it should be not far away, Lu Wanwan was very helpless in her heart, sure enough, Jian Yu was Jian Yu, no matter what she looked like, he could recognize it, but she had already thought of this, and she didn't plan to hide it from him.
Lu Wanwan just smiled at Jian Yuwei, then looked at Li Wei, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and said slowly: "Your Royal Highness, you don't need to lie and deceive Lu, I really don't have any malicious intent, I just want to meet him." ”
"Now that you've seen the people, it's time to leave!" Li Wei felt that his patience had reached the limit, glared at Lu Wanwan, and said viciously.
Lu Wanwan didn't speak, only glanced at Jian Yu, revealing a meaningful smile. Jian Yu had also come back to his senses at this time, looked at Lu Wanwan with a complicated expression, and slowly spoke: "I have always admired General Zheng very much, and I want to visit the mansion, I don't know if it's okay?" "My generals cherish the world's talents the most, and a handsome person like Jian Gongzi is naturally the most popular among my generals." Lu Wanwan squinted slightly and replied with a smile.
Li Wei couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and directly ordered the soldiers around him, surrounded Lu Wanwan and Jian Yu, looked at Lu Wanwan threateningly and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Mr. Lu to do this, Jian Gongzi is a person from my Qin Palace, without the permission of my Qin Palace, how dare you take people away without permission, don't you take my Qin Wangfu in your eyes!?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince was surprised by this." Lu Wanwan waved his hand and said, "This Young Master Jian is willing to go with me to meet my general, how can I say that I took him away, and Young Master Jian should also be a guest of the Qin Palace, where he wants to go, he will decide for himself, why do you want the consent of the Qin Palace, and he is not a prisoner detained by your Qin Palace." ”
Li Wei was choked by Lu Wanwan's words, and knew that he couldn't talk to her, so he simply didn't talk nonsense with her, and shouted loudly: "Is Mr. Lu going to make the Zheng family an enemy of the Qin Palace, if you take people away today, tomorrow my Qin Wangfu will come to the door to discuss an explanation with the Zheng family!" ”
Lu Wanwan is not afraid of Li Wei, and she also knows very well in her heart that at this time. Princess Qin didn't dare to be an enemy of the Qin family, they were fledgling now, and if they declared war with the Zheng family in a hurry, they would only gain more than they lost. "Why is His Royal Highness the Prince so angry, it's just to invite this Jian Gongzi to the Zheng family as a guest, why do you bother to make such a sabre-rattling, I think if Princess Qin is here, she will not agree with your impulsive approach."
Li Wei's face suddenly darkened, although he was unwilling, he also knew that Lu Wanwan was telling the truth. If the mother is here. He wouldn't agree to such an impulsive act, but he really couldn't swallow this breath, and the people of the Zheng family were really too deceitful!
"Young Master Jian, I think you should hurry up and persuade His Royal Highness. Let him not be so angry. The general of my family has always looked forward to the Qin Wangfu. I don't want to make trouble with the palace. Lu Wanwan looked at Jian Yu at this time and said with a smile.
The expression on Jian Yu's face was very subtle, and he looked at Lu Wan for a while. Only then did he turn to look at Li Wei and said, "Your Royal Highness, I just want to go to the Zheng Mansion as a guest, why do you bother to stop it so much." ”
Li Wei had already regained some reason at this time, he frowned tightly, looked at Jian Yu and said: "Jian Yu, you have thought clearly, you go back to the palace with me, it is absolutely safe, but the Zheng Mansion is not necessarily as good as you think, maybe it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, you are such a smart person, you should know how to choose." ”
Li Yufen, who had been staying in the car, finally couldn't hold it back, and poked her head out of the carriage, she obviously heard Li Wei's words, looked at Jian Yu with a very worried expression, hesitated and persuaded: "Brother Jian, should we ...... Let's go back with him. ”
If Jian Yu hadn't recognized Lu Wanwan, he wouldn't have believed the "Zheng family's people", and chose to go back with Li Wei, but that person was Lu Wanwan, the only person in the world who could make him believe unconditionally.
Jian Yu's expression was very firm, he hugged his fist at Li Wei and said: "Thank you for reminding Your Highness the Prince of the World, I know what I'm doing, even if it's really as you said, it's a Longtan tiger's den, I have to break through, maybe there is a glimmer of life?" ”
Seeing that Jian Yu was so disobedient, Li Wei could only ask hatefully, "Have you thought clearly!?" ”
Jian Yu nodded again, Li Yufen on the side saw him so determined, and didn't say anything more, although she didn't want to go to the Zheng Mansion, she couldn't leave Jian Yu, so no matter where he went, she had to follow him.
Among these people, the most satisfying is probably Lu Wanwan, she originally wanted to save Jian Yu, and at this time, she was naturally very happy to see that the task was about to be completed so soon.
"Then Master Jian, let's go quickly." Saying this, he instructed a soldier behind him, "Give Jian Gongzi a horse out." ”
The soldier was very efficient, but a group brought a horse and sent it to Jian Yu.
At this time, Li Yufen had already gotten out of the carriage, and asked in a somewhat anxious tone, "Then what should I do?" ”
Lu Wanwan squinted slightly, didn't pay attention to Li Yufen, but looked at Jian Yu with a smile and asked, "Young Master Jian, do you want to bring this young lady with you?" ”
Jian Yu's expression was stunned by Lu Wanwan's question, and he actually hesitated, Li Yufen suddenly became even more anxious, reached out to hold his arm, and urged: "Brother Jian, you speak!" ”
Jian Yu finally nodded, which was regarded as answering Lu Wanwan's question, but he didn't dare to look at her with those eyes.
For this expected answer, Lu Wanwan was not angry, if Jian Yu really left Li Yufen, then he would not be the Jian Yu he knew.
"Prepare another horse for this girl." Lu Wanwan said leisurely.
"No, I ...... I'm not very good at riding horses, I can share a horse with Brother Jian......" Li Yufen suddenly stepped forward and said to Lu Wanwan.
The expression on Lu Wanwan's face suddenly became more playful, and she wandered around Jian Yu and Li Yufen for a while before she said slowly: "Whether men and women are intimate or not, I don't know what the relationship between this girl and Jian Gongzi is, have you figured it out?" ”
"I'm ...... with Brother Jane" "I have nothing to do with her!" The two spoke almost at the same time, but Li Yufen looked at Jian Yu and said, and Jian Yu looked at Lu Wanwan and said.
"Let's each ride our own horses, and besides, it's very close to the city gate, and it's not much away." Jian Yu stared at Lu Wanwan tightly and said.
Lu Wanwan pursed her lips, and then nodded slowly: "Okay, just according to Jian Gongzi's wishes, I will prepare another horse." After saying this, he looked at Li Yufen with a hurt look on his face and said. Don't worry, this girl, I'll have someone pick you a docile horse, and it won't make you too uncomfortable. ”
Li Yufen didn't speak, only nodded in a muffled voice, her expression becoming more and more depressed and sad.
After Jian Yu and Li Yufen got on the horse, Lu Wan hugged his fists with Li Wei and said, "Your Royal Highness, then Lu will leave first, and I will have the opportunity to visit you another day." With that, he pulled the reins of his horse and turned to leave.
Li Wei stared at Lu Wanwan's back. Hold the horse's reins tightly with both hands. The green tendons on it protruded, obviously desperately trying to suppress their anger.
"Your Highness, aren't we going to catch up? Really let them take people away? Where is the princess ......" A general behind Li Wei whispered in his ear.
Li Wei sneered and said, "If you want to go up and die." I don't stand in the way. ”
The general stopped talking. Silently stepped aside. And Li Wei turned the horse's head, and ordered with a gloomy face: "Go back to Fahua Temple and see what is going on there!" The soldiers took the order. Li Wei took the group in the opposite direction.
In order to take care of Li Yufen, Lu Wanwan and his party did not travel fast, and they walked for about half an hour before they finally arrived at the city gate, during which Lu Wanwan and Jian Yu did not say a word, but Jian Yu's eyes never left Lu Wanwan's body, and that look contained many complicated feelings, but they could not be told, which made Jian Yu's heart more and more uncomfortable.
Lu Wanwan stopped in front of the city gate and said to a general-like person beside him: "Brother Liu has worked hard today, and then I can do it myself, you can take the brothers back to the barracks, and by the way, help me and Vice General Wang thank you again." ”
"Mr. Lu is polite, it's just a gesture, I'll bring your words with the deputy general, then we'll leave." After the soldier surnamed Liu finished speaking, he gave a military salute to Lu Wan and left with a group of soldiers.
When those soldiers were far away, Lu Wanwan waved his hand to Jian Yu and Li Yufen and said, "Okay, you guys should go quickly, I won't invite you to Zheng Mansion, there will be a period later." ”
How could Jian Yu let Lu Wanwan leave like this, he shouted anxiously: "Wait a minute! I have something to tell you. ”
Lu Wanwan didn't look back, she only tightened the reins of the horse and was silent.
Jian Yu couldn't take care of Li Yufen, who was at a loss, slammed the horse's belly, quickly rode to Lu Wanwan's side, took her hand, looked at her for a moment and said, "Let's talk!" After speaking, he didn't care whether he agreed or not, he snatched the reins of the horse in Lu Wanwan's hand, controlled the two horses, and galloped to the side, completely ignoring Li Yufen shouting loudly behind them.
Jian Yu controlled the two horses, drove out a few thousand meters, and then slowly stopped, he led Lu Wanwan's horse and walked in front, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.
After being silent for a while, Lu Wanwan sighed lightly and spoke first, "Are you going to keep talking like this, I don't have much time, if you don't have anything to say, I'll go back." At this time, Lu Wanwan had already recovered his voice, which could be regarded as confessing his identity to Jian Yu.
"I just...... I don't have the face to face you, I don't know what to say, I always say I want to protect you, but I always hurt you......" Jian Yu lowered his head and said with a very frustrated expression.
"Isn't it good that I'm like this now, where is there an injury, but you, how did you become such a wolf, does Princess Qin dare to attack you?" Lu Wanwan shook her head with a wry smile and said with a frown.
"Princess Qin is now a soldier, I think she is afraid that we will ruin her plan and want to put us under house arrest." Jian Yu also frowned and replied.
"Then you better leave quickly, and when you go back to the capital, there will be nothing to do." Lu Wanwan said lightly.
"Wanwan, can you tell me what happened, why did you become like this, I heard Li Wei call you Mr. Lu, how did you become 'Mr. Lu', shouldn't you have been sent away, how could you be disguised like this, and still work for the Zheng family?" Jian Yu grabbed Lu Wanwan's hand and asked with a frown.
Lu Wanwan didn't know where to start, and in the end, she shook her head and said: "This process is a long story, for a while, I don't know how to tell you clearly......" Jian Yu grasped Lu Wanwan's hand tighter, shook her head and said: "You can talk to me slowly in the future, now, you have to go with me, let's leave here together, whether it's the Qin Wangfu or the Zheng Mansion, we don't have to care, leave here, and it's all over as soon as you leave it......"
"I know that this is impossible this year, why don't you understand it now......" Lu Wanwan interrupted Jian Yu and said with a wry smile.
Jian Yu's face changed, and he said with a painful expression: "It's not that I don't understand, I just can't convince myself, I tried to let you go, but I found that I really couldn't do it, I just ...... I don't want to lose you. ”
"Jian Yu, you have told you many times, I don't love you, I just treat you as a brother, so I don't want to delay you, and I never feel that I am a woman who can give up everything for love, I have what I want to do, I want to accomplish the goal, I admit that I am a selfish person, I will use all means to achieve the goal, so I don't deserve your liking, you can definitely find a better and more suitable woman for you." Lu Wanwan was ruthless, pulled his hand out of Jian Yu's hand, turned around, and said to him.
Jian Yu was stunned on the spot, after a long time, he seemed to digest what Lu Wanwan said, but it was unexpectedly calm, he looked at Lu Wanwan, and slowly said: "I know, I know that you don't like me, but what does it matter to you, I like you, you say that you are a selfish person, why am I not, so even if you don't like me, I am selfish like letting you stay by my side, I know that you are different from ordinary women, I have known you since I first met you, but Wanwan, do you know, You have changed, do you remember, when we first met, did you tell me anything, you were so simple and kind at that time, you said that you just want to be good, and then buy a lot of land, be a landlord's wife, and live a peaceful life, but now, what do you want? ”
Lu Wanwan didn't know how to answer, what did she want? When she just came back from rebirth, she only thought about being good and living a different life from her previous life, she has always been working hard like that, since when did she start to want something different, when she was betrayed by Li Yufen, or when she was used by Meng Feiyang, she was like an ownerless wanderer, and it seemed that she could never control her own destiny, so she wanted the right, the right to control her own destiny, she didn't want to be swayed by others anymore, and she didn't want her fate to be pinched by others. Jian Yu said that she had changed, and she admitted that she had indeed changed, what did she want? She wants to no longer be trampled on by others, no longer involuntarily.
"You ask me what I want, and I sue you now, I want 'my life is up to me'! It's not as easy as you think to live a peaceful and ordinary life, I'm in a quagmire now, I can't even live with my real name, but I want to live openly, so I have to live the life I want to live in my own way. Lu Wanwan took a deep breath, raised his head and replied to Jian Yu.
"So...... It's impossible for you to leave with me......" Jian Yu looked at Lu Wanwan with a bitter expression, he felt that he was drifting away from the woman in front of him.
Lu Wanwan didn't answer, but her answer was already obvious, she took back the reins of her horse, which was regarded as giving Jian Yu a silent answer.
“…… So what do you want to do next? Jian Yu knew that she couldn't persuade Lu Wanwan to go back, so she could only ask weakly.
"Does it matter?" Lu Wanwan shook her head and asked with a wry smile, "Actually, even I don't know very well, although I have a plan, I can't guarantee success, so even if I sue you, it won't help, because the ending may not be the one I want, so it's better to take one step at a time, if I fail, it may be my life." ”
"Won't you regret it?"
"No, at least I've worked hard, I've been lucky, and I've lost my life." After saying this, Lu Wanwan tightened the reins of the horse and drove away, this time, Jian Yu did not stop him, he only looked at Lu Wanwan's back from afar, his expression gradually cleared, if this is what you want, I will give it with both hands. (To be continued......)
