Chapter Thirty-Eight: Heartbeat
The author has something to say: Poof, the handsome courier guy probably thinks you have a tip for the rest, and prepare change next time~; Everyone has received the book, so happy; Hey, this guy must have deliberately dragged me into the water with a monthly pass! I actually don't want to shoot her on the wall, but she's too beautiful, I'm too vulgar, tears~
bing123 Bing Xiucai: If you have a monthly pass, you can go to the wall, in order to go to the wall of love, I also fight, look at the east, set the west, and finally get 6 monthly passes. Ah Qing, look here...... Pick it up, you must let me go up the wall!
Don't light, Xiucai: Haha, I was so excited to receive the autograph yesterday ^Ο^
On the wall today: The stupid man went to wander, Jinshi: The book arrived, and I paid 50 to the courier brother. 5 yuan, seeing that he didn't have two cents, I said I didn't need to look for it, but the courier brother was really unkind to me, and he didn't look for me with the four fast money. After opening the book and reading it for a while, I remembered that the courier brother didn't ask me for money...... I remember the last time the book arrived, I took the book and forgot to pay and ran away, and the courier brother chased after me all the way.
------Off topic------
"You heard it right, the farthest I've ever been to the Outland Meizu is indeed." Cui Jing nodded, his pale and white hair dyed with a touch of desolation, "I always thought that the Purple Cloud Daoist wanted to walk through the famous mountains and rivers for the sake of traveling, but when I arrived in Meizu, I realized that his purpose was to go to Meizu." β
Xie Yunji's gaze moved, and the hand on the table tapped lightly, but he didn't speak.
Prince Ying and Princess Ying immediately said, "Is it the foreign Meizu who was born as a monk without forgetting?" 100,000 miles away? β
Xie Mohan said in surprise, "Grandpa, you have actually been to the Meizu in the outer regions?" β
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"He first took me to the Northern Qi outside the Guanwai, then to Xishu, and then went further to Minling, Yu Shuo, Feng Li, Haijing, Qilan...... The Meizu of the Outlands. Cui Jingdao.
"Soon after, my wife went. Since there is no change technique, I don't want the white-haired person to send the black-haired person. What's more, at that time, the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion and the Boling Cui clan were married, and the Ying Prince's Mansion and the Qinghe Cui clan were married. The emperor had just ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable, and he was anxious to establish himself. There are a lot of fights. I'm tired of fighting, and besides, the eldest son in my family is an adult. So he decided to leave the cultivation path with the Purple Cloud Dao Master. Although Cui Jing said it briefly, everyone knew that he had made up his mind, and it must have been difficult at that time. I don't know what kind of struggle I went through.
Princess Ying pursed her lips.
"Back then, the Purple Cloud Daoist of Wuli Mountain traveled to the Heavenly Sage, and when he saw Yuwan's girl and Xie Ying's kid, he spied out the lifeblood of the two. Originally, he didn't want to break the Dao, but he thought that I was a person who was committed to the Tao and had a relationship with the Dao. He broke the secret with me. I didn't believe it at first, but then I went through something and I did. begged him to crack the method, he said that it was such a fate, and it could not be changed, if it was changed, not only would he be punished by heaven, but also the close relatives who were involved with the two would suffer. The consequences are unimaginable. Cui Jing said this, and said wistfully, "That is to say, the old marquis, me, my wife, and the children and grandchildren of the two mansions will all suffer." Perhaps something more grim could happen. β
Several of them nodded.
Cui Jing didn't want to say it, but several people were curious, he smiled and said, "What have you done in the past ten years, where have you been, if you talk about it, it will be a long story." Since you're all curious, I'll cut it short! β
Although Xie Yunji didn't speak, he also looked at Cui Jing.
"Yes, grandpa, just tell me, I want to know too." Xie Mohan also said.
Cui Jing smiled and shook his head.
"Uncle Jing, tell your niece, where have you been all these years? What was done? My niece is very curious about you. Princess Ying asked Cui Jing with a smile, she was indeed curious about his experience over the years.
"Looking at this momentum, it will take at least one night today." Cui Jingdao.
"It's still early today!" Princess Ying looked outside, "I don't know when this rain will fall." β
After the meal, Xie Fanghua sat down for a while, then returned to the kang and lay down. Qin Zheng didn't do anything, and continued to lie down with her.
The meal was eaten peacefully, and everyone didn't say anything.
Xie Fanghua didn't have much appetite, but he also got up and sat down at the table.
Qin Zheng sat up, saw that Xie Fanghua was still lying down, and reached out and dragged her up, "If it's still early today, eat early, finish eating, whatever you sleep." β
Xie Yunji greeted several people as the host.
Princess Ying smiled and nodded.
"One pot is pheasant, and the other pot is hare." Ling'er replied with a smile, "If the princess and the second prince think it's delicious, they will eat more in a while." β
"What's this stew?" Princess Ying immediately said, "It's indeed fragrant." β
"Hmm, it smells so good!" Qin Zheng said lazily on the earthen kang.
After half a ring, Ling'er entered the house with a tray again, and the house was filled with the smell of stew.
Xie Mohan looked at him for a long time before he slowly turned his head to look at the two people lying side by side on the dirt pit, and there was a strange tranquility between the two. The argument that had erupted earlier in front of a few people in the room seemed to have no zΓ i at all. There is a harmony among them that they are separate but together. He thought, is my sister tempted? Maybe not, but it's true that something that insists is being softened.
Xie Yunji turned his head, picked up the tea, took a sip, and stopped talking.
Xie Mo was stunned.
Xie Yunji retracted his gaze, smiled at Xie Mo, blinked, and said silently, "I'm wondering, is Sister Hua tempted by Qin Zheng?" β
Xie Mohan patted Xie Yunji on the shoulder behind him, and asked softly, "Yunji, what are you thinking?" β
Xie Yunji looked at the two lying side by side on the earthen kang with a meaningful gaze.
"Hmm!" Xie Fanghua replied in a low voice.
"Hua girl, you can lie on it and warm up for a while, but don't fall asleep, now there are a few dishes. After a while, the dish should be cold. Seeing that the two of them had reached an agreement and reconciled, Prince Ying was relieved. Thinking that if the two of them had an awkward relationship in the future, she would definitely detect the signs in advance and avoid them. I'm old and can't stand it.
Xie Fanghua turned her head to look at him, and when she saw that he closed his eyes and didn't look at her, she withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes as well.
Qin Zheng reached out and touched her hand accurately, held it in his hand, and warmed her.
It was indeed hot on the earthen kang, and it immediately dispelled some of the cold.
Xie Fanghua couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and smiled, and lay down where he got out of the way.
Although this sentence is not good, it has a taste of concern in it.
After a while, Qin Zheng moved to the side and muttered, "After standing outside for so long and not entering the house, you deserve to be cold." β
Xie Fanghua stood by the kang and looked at him.
Qin Zheng was silent, lying still.
Xie Fanghua glanced at him, "I'm cold, you give me a place." β
"What?" Qin Zheng asked angrily.
Xie Fanghua pushed hard twice.
Qin Zheng pushed him with Xie Fanghua, and his body moved, but he didn't squeak.
Xie Fanghua turned his head to look at Qin Zheng lying on the earthen kang, motionless, without thinking about her, he knew that he must still be depressed in his heart. didn't want to pay attention to him, but when she saw Prince Ying and Cui Jing looking at her, she lowered her eyelashes, walked to the earthen kang, and stretched out her hand to push him.
"Go to the kang to warm up, the clay kang is on fire, it's hot." Xie Mo said.
Xie Fanghua smiled at him, although he was cold, his tone was warm, "Stay for a while, it's not cold." β
Xie Mohan frowned and asked her, "Why have you stayed for so long?" β
As soon as Xie Fanghua stepped into the back room, he brought in a cool air.
Cui Jing and Princess Ying in the room were chatting, and Xie Yunji and Xie Mohan were accompanying them, occasionally saying a word or two. Qin Zheng lay on the earthen kang and did not move.
Xie Fanghua watched the goshawk fly towards the clouds and drown out the dark shadow, and then she slowly turned around and entered the house.
Xie Fanghua took out the letterhead and a handy pen from his arms, wrote two sentences on the letterhead with the pen, and then tied it to the goshawk's leg and patted it gently and gently, the goshawk rubbed its neck with some reluctance and flew into the sky.
Ling'er entered the house with a tray.
Xie Fanghua nodded, "Okay!" β
"The slave maid will bring this meal into the house first, and after you have taken care of the matter, you should go into the house quickly!" Ling'er said.
Xie Fanghua pulled the corners of her mouth, how many years has her mother left, how many people still remember it in this capital, and how many people still remember it in this world. It's not in vain.
"It's great, the average eagle is five hundred miles of land." Ling'er said nostalgically, "Miss Zeng also likes to raise eagles. β
"Yes, it can fly thousands of miles day and night." Xie Fanghua said.
"Is this goshawk good at flying very far?" Ling'er asked.
"This is the goshawk of Mobei Snow Mountain." Xie Fanghua smiled.
Ling'er was just about to speak again, when she saw the goshawk standing on her shoulder, and then looked at her expression, a little cold, she guessed that she must have something, so she changed the words, "This eagle is so special." β
Xie Fanghua smiled, "I didn't let them follow, it's not too cold." β
"Even if you want to stand here and look at the view, you should put on a cloak. What about your handmaid? It's really unsatisfying! Ling'er glanced behind Xie Fanghua, but she didn't see a maid accompanying her, and she was even more dissatisfied.
"It's okay! My body is not that weak. Xie Fanghua shook his head.
"Miss, why are you standing here? You're not well, get inside! Ling'er came to the door and looked at Xie Fanghua reproachfully.
Ling'er came out of the kitchen with an umbrella and a tray, and saw Xie Fanghua standing at the door, this is a mountain forest, and the rain falls with the wind blowing. There was a cool chill, and after standing for a long time, even the luxurious dress was dyed with a layer of moisture.
She stood in the doorway and watched the drizzle fall from the sky, and did not immediately enter the house.
The letter paper in her hand slowly turned to ashes in her hand, and she let go of her hand, and the ashes fell outside the courtyard, drowning in fine rain.
Ten days later, Qin Yu should be close to the boundary of the capital.
If she recovers from her injuries for another ten days, she should be more than half healed.
Xie Fanghua clutched the letter paper in her hand, before he took Qixing into the capital, she must find a way to rescue Qixing. can't let him bring Qixing into the palace of the capital, if he enters the capital and enters the palace, then it will be difficult to save people.
He even brought the Seven Stars to the capital.
If he had been walking for seven days, he would have walked at least a third of the way.
In this way, Yan Chen's guess was right, Qin Yu was indeed already on his way back to Beijing.
Mobei is far away from the capital Guanshan, and the speed of the journey is affected by many factors. Besides, it's a long way away, and you can't dig deeper into it.
Today, the emperor revealed his tone again, recalled Qin Yu, and gave him a chance to return to Beijing in the name of justice.
The emperor's words of the secret edict in advance were so that he could leave the Mobei military camp one step ahead of time and avoid people's eyes, so as to get rid of some killers who wanted his life to prevent him from returning to Beijing?
Did the emperor issue a secret edict to let him return to Beijing? Otherwise, how dare he leave Beijing and leave the Mobei military camp?
In terms of time, that is, at least seven days after leaving.
Now less than half a month before the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of the conflict between the border army of Mobei and the border defenders of Northern Qi was the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and then, Qin Yu went to the Northern Qi military camp alone, and later after his thorough investigation, the person who stole the grain who died was not the uncle of Northern Qi. The two parties reconciled. Dark time calculation, how can it take him three or five days to deal with such a big event. Because the identity of the fourth prince must not be faked, such a matter must be handled by him personally. In other words, after dealing with the matter, he secretly left the Mobei military camp?
Xie Fanghua suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at the words "return to Beijing".
The second sentence is, "Qin Yu is not in the Mobei military camp, guessing that he should have secretly returned to Beijing, and Qixing was taken away by him." β
The first sentence is, "Yan Ting and I have arrived in Mobei and will leave for Northern Qi immediately." β
Two sentences were written on the letterhead.
She looked outside, exhaled lightly, withdrew her gaze, and lowered her head to open the letterhead in her hand.
The smell of flowers in the rain wafts faintly in the air, and the courtyard in the mountains and forests is quiet and pleasant.
It was still raining outside, and although it wasn't heavy, it was very dense.
Xie Fanghua walked out of the room and came to the eaves.
Xie Yunji raised his eyebrows, watching Qin Zheng lying on the earthen kang, silent, his heart suddenly felt happy, and the anger that he had made earlier also disappeared.
Xie Mohan sighed, not knowing what to say. He has known Qin Zheng since he was a child, he has always had this temperament, and if his sister is really raised in the boudoir of the Marquis of Zhongyong, then she may like Qin Zheng, but Qin Zheng may not be able to look down on her. Now that my sister has been in Nameless Mountain for many years, her temperament is cold, and it is natural for her to be calm in her thinking, but Qin Zheng is entangled with him, but she doesn't know how to deal with his feelings.
Cui Jing stroked his beard and smiled.
"Look! The way he looks, so unpleasant. Sorrowful to death. Princess Ying turned around and said to a few people.
Qin Zheng pursed his lips, leaned back, lay on the kang, closed his eyes, and stopped talking. Obviously, there is still a knot of confidence in who gave Xie Fanghua.
Princess Ying choked and scolded with a smile, "He is pedantic and has no brains." But you and he are half a pound and eight taels. β
"I'm not your good son, who is your good son? Do you want me to learn from my father? How many years did I dare not touch you? Qin Zheng snorted, shook off his face, and sat back on the earthen kang.
In the end, Prince Ying couldn't help but reach out and knock on his head again, angry and laughing, "How old is it?" How many people are here? You're not afraid of being laughed at? You're such a good son I've ever had! β
"Even a brute knows how to fight people!" Qin Zheng stomped his foot angrily.
Qin Zheng glanced at the goshawk sharply, that glance was slightly murderous, and the little thing immediately retracted its neck and stopped looking at him.
Xie Fanghua walked out. The goshawk kept tilting her head on her shoulder to look at Qin Zheng, a little confused and a little arrogant.
Qin Zheng glanced at the letter in her hand and slowly let go of her hand reluctantly.
"Do my thing!" Xie Fanghua said.
Qin Zheng just frowned, and reached out to grab her, "Where are you going?" β
Xie Fanghua couldn't help it, raised her foot and stepped on the instep of his foot fiercely, and walked out with the letter.
"That's pretty much it!" Qin Zheng can be regarded as having recovered half of the field, and said stiffly, "But you don't want to break the marriage contract." β
"Naturally, it's serious! What are you the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong? I know the etiquette and the rules. Xie Fanghua held his breath and said.
"Are you serious?" Qin Zheng asked.
Xie Fanghua swept Cui Jing, Xie Mohan, Xie Yunji and others all watched, and she said with a headache, "Qin Zheng, besides you, who else is blind, who else will look at me?" Don't worry, I'm not a water-based poplar woman, and if I don't break off the marriage contract with you for a day, I won't do anything with other men. β
Prince Ying looked at Qin Zheng's arrogant appearance, and couldn't wait to wave his hand and slap him again.
"Did you hear that?" Qin Zheng asked domineeringly.
Xie Fanghua was still angry, and ignored her with a straight face.
Qin Zheng was also angry when he heard this, and reached out to pull Xie Fanghua from Prince Ying and Princess Ying, and said to her angrily, "I don't know if I don't know about you, and I won't read your letter if I don't read it." But you're not allowed to do anything for me about red apricots going out of the wall. β
Prince Ying laughed angrily at him, "You little bastard, don't you want to look at you if you don't face her?" You have to have a reason for me to turn to you. I don't hesitate to mix it up every day, how did I give birth to you in the first place, if I could return to the furnace and rebuild it, I would have wanted to rebuild it for you a long time ago. β
It was the first time Qin Zheng was slapped so hard by Prince Ying and Princess Ying, frowned, and said angrily to her, "Who is your own child?" Is it me or her? How do you turn to her everywhere? β
"In my opinion, what Hua Yatou said is obviously right, how many days have you only been together? The temperaments of the two people are completely different. You have always liked to be public, and Hua girl doesn't like to be public. Two people should slowly approach, get along, run in, and get along. How can you be so aggressive? Prince Ying reached out and patted Qin Zheng's head fiercely, "Prince Ying's Mansion is a clan, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is a big family. The royal family has always been sensitive to the Xie family, and you just want to marry a Chinese girl. Now the two governments are already on the cusp. If you can't get the holy decree from the emperor, you can overcome all difficulties and let her marry you now. Then you are really not qualified to ask her to sue you for everything as your fiancΓ©. After all, you were born in the Prince of England's mansion, not an ordinary family status. β
Qin Zheng looked at Prince Ying with a straight face and did not speak.
Prince Ying and Princess Ying suddenly stood up, walked in front of the two, pulled Xie Fanghua over, blocked behind her, glared at Qin Zheng, and scolded, "Bastard, what are you forcing her to do?" Can love be forced? You have forced the marriage contract and let her promise you, don't you know how to take your time? Do you understand how to simmer? Do you have to make her angry with you and make her even more annoyed with you? I think you're really smart but you've been mistaken by your cleverness. It's the one who really has no brains. β
Xie Fanghua took a step back, and when he saw him aggressively, he was also a little angry, and he was about to have a seizure.
"How much time do you need?" Qin Zheng said coldly, "Don't tell me that you want three years." β
Xie Fanghua saw that he was on the verge of anger, frowned, and rubbed his forehead, "You have to give me time." β
"You speak!" Qin Zheng looked at him angrily, "What do you want me to do so that you can open your heart?" β
Xie Fanghua turned to the beginning.
Qin Zheng pursed the corners of his lips, "You yourself trapped yourself in the altar, and if you don't come out, don't you even give others the opportunity to enter?" β
Xie Fanghua closed his eyes, "It's not that you haven't done enough, it's not good enough, it's my own problem." β
Qin Zheng suddenly took a step forward, approached her, and stared at her eyebrows, "You said that I still can't reassure you now?" I've done so much and I still can't give you peace of mind? So you say, what can I do to give you peace of mind? β
"I understand your intentions, I understand your thoughts, you don't need to spread your heart again and again, I have never asked you to do anything, let alone trample on your heart." Xie Fanghua's eyebrows were calm, and his voice was light but clear, "In other words, it's not that I don't understand your intentions for me, it's just that you can't make me feel at ease now." β
Qin Zheng sneered, "What don't you want to argue with me?" In your opinion, now the master is unreasonable? β
Xie Fanghua turned his head slowly and looked at him calmly, "Qin Zheng, you are more sensible, I don't want to argue with you now." β
"Nonsense!" Qin Zheng also stood up angrily, his eyebrows erected, "Xie Fanghua, I thought your head was open." It still looks like the same elm head. Are you a child in your marriage contract? I'm not joking with you. Your sincerity as a master is so worthless, allowing you to trample on it? The master said that if he marries you in three years, he can marry you. You give me back those worries and nonsense. From now on, my business is your business, and yours business is my business. What else do you share with each other? β
"Indeed, I don't want to know anything about you. Didn't think you knew anything about me. Xie Fanghua turned his head, stood up, and said a little coldly, "Although you and I have a marriage contract now, the next three years will be long." Qin Zheng, can you really guarantee that we can go through the past three years without wind and rain? In the past three years, the twists and turns in the middle are still unknown. I advise you that if we don't get married for a day, we should act separately. lest the husband and wife not become married, but end up as enemies. β
Qin Zheng also narrowed his eyes, "I never thought of carrying you behind your back, but you don't want to know." β
Xie Fanghua narrowed his eyes, "I have never investigated your people, never inquired into your letters, and never intervened in what was behind you. You don't need to mess with my affairs either. β
"Why do you have to inch in? You exchange letters with others, and secretly communicate with each other, but you can't let the master know? Qin Zheng looked at her dissatisfied.
Xie Fanghua suddenly lowered his face, "Qin Zheng, don't you have to inch in!" β
"And where did you get this letter? Show me, and I won't scare this little thing of yours. Otherwise, if you are hungry now, you can slaughter it and eat the stew. It's always enough for a plate of snacks. Qin Zheng retracted his hand and looked at the letter in her hand.
"Don't scare it!" Xie Fanghua glanced at Qin Zheng and reached out to stop the hand he was about to grab again.
The goshawk suddenly keenly left Xie Fanghua's left shoulder and landed on her right shoulder, making a vigilant sound to keep it from entering.
Qin Zheng suddenly came over and reached out to grab the goshawk.
Xie Fanghua reached out and untied the letterhead tied to its leg, and it reluctantly left her palm and flew back to her shoulder.
Xie Fanghua smiled at it and stretched out her hand, and it immediately jumped into her palm with joy.
The goshawk's black eyes rolled to several people in the room, and then tilted his head to look at Xie Fanghua.
The eyes of everyone in the room looked at the goshawk on Xie Fanghua's shoulder.
