Chapter 120: What If
The gate of Katsura Castle is a bit old, compared to the big cities such as Runan Liyang, this city gate is rough, and the stone wall is still potholed and uneven at all, so it is impossible to see.
Last night, it can be said that except for Liu Jing and Deng Jiulang, the rest were drenched, because the rainstorm was too fierce, and many people's change of clothes were damp. At this moment, there was a cheer from the group, and everyone rushed inside, and when they saw a restaurant, they hurriedly stopped, just thinking that they could take advantage of this beautiful sunny day to turn everything out and dry it, and at the same time they could take a bath with hot water to dispel the moisture and dust on their bodies.
Compared with these people who have finally settled down, but are more busy, it is too jealous to come to Liu Jing and the servants of Liufu who are dry. Especially when they were busy tossing, when the servants of the Liufu here surrounded Liu Jing and had gone to Gecheng to hang out, the people of the Qian Mansion were so envious that they kept sighing.
Katsuragi is small, but it's also very prosperous. After Liu Jing walked for a while, her footsteps stopped, turned behind her and asked curiously, "Why are witch songs singing everywhere here?" ”
The witch song is a song of prayer to heaven. At such a moment, in the courtyard of the house on the left side of Liu Jing, a neat female voice floated, "The sky is virtuous, Ze is sentient beings, the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and all evils will not invade...... In the turbulent world, only my righteousness lasts forever. ”
In this uniform female voice, there is a distant ringtone. Whether it is the song or the bell, it is not beautiful, the song is sung by a woman with a dumb voice, and the bell is also intermittent, together, giving people an obscure and clumsy feeling.
And this is not the first time Liu Jing has heard witch songs, this is the third place she has sung witch songs along the way. Although the lyrics are different. But every witch song is the same, it is a prayer for blessings and disasters.
Hear Liu Jing's question. Uncle Wu also said curiously: "Yes, yes, this is not a big New Year." Why are witch songs coming from everywhere? ”
Seeing that everyone couldn't say why, it was less than half an hour for such a small time, so Liu Jing, who had walked all over Katsuragi, turned around and said, "That's it, it's not early, let's go back to dinner." Everyone has worked hard all the way, and I can go to bed early tonight. ”
"That's what Da Lang said."
So, Liu Jing and her party turned around again and walked towards the restaurant where they were staying.
The small restaurant is now full. Deng Jiulang didn't know when he arrived, he was sitting on the collapse of the window, and when he saw her coming, he raised his eyes and glanced at it, and then slowly tasted the wine he was pouring.
Liu Jing walked to his side, and after sitting down, she poured herself a drink, and said the witch song just now. She asked curiously, "This Katsuragi is full of witch songs, I don't know what happened?" ”
Deng Jiulang slowly took a sip of wine and replied, "Someone should have contracted the epidemic." ”
As soon as the word epidemic came out, everyone's faces, including Liu Jing, changed.
Deng Jiulang slowly put the wine cup on the table. He frowned slightly, his slender fingers rubbed unconsciously on the edge of the wine cup, and said slowly: "Emperor Guangwu founded the world. Now there are also 100 years. In the past 100 years, not to mention the prosperity of the times. It can also be called the country's peace and security, political communication and harmony. ”
His brow furrowed. After being silent for a while, he continued: "Even today, although I don't like political affairs, all the ministers are also conscientious, even the children of a family like ours, and they don't dare to do anything angry and resentful. He sighed lightly, "In such a world, it should be a meritorious rule of virtue, and the common people are born, right?" But in the past few years, there has been an epidemic in the southwest, and tens of thousands of people have died, and now even in the Central Plains such as Yuzhou, there are also witch songs...... Since ancient times, this epidemic has been a devastation of human beings. Hey......"
He let out a long sigh.
Liu Jing raised her head to look at him.
Looking at him stunned for a while, Liu Jing said softly, "Don't worry. ”
As soon as she said this, Deng Jiulang looked up at her. He stared at her, smiled slowly, and said, "This world is the world surnamed Liu, what do I have to worry about?" ”
Liu Jing heard his hard-mouthed words and didn't say anything. I just thought in my heart: Your Majesty has been a little slack in political affairs in the past two years, and many decisions have been handed over to Queen Deng. Empress Deng is your sister, aren't you afraid that this kind of natural disaster that cannot be stopped by manpower will be blamed on your sister by the world, and blame it on your Deng family's head?
Liu Jing didn't refute Deng Jiulang, just raised her head and looked at him with a pair of eyes with concern.
Facing her like this, Deng Jiulang couldn't help but bother, he leaned over slightly, staring at Liu Jing gently, Deng Jiulang asked on a whim: "Ah Jing, if I lose power one day, what will you do to me?" ”
As soon as this question came up, he himself became interested. He raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "If there is a letter from Luoyang for a while, saying that my Deng family has fallen and been imprisoned, and I, the sister-in-law of the Nanyang Deng family, have become a water dog that everyone shouts and beats, what will Ah Jing do?" ”
He asked seriously.
Liu Jing blinked her long eyelashes and asked rhetorically, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?" ”
"Nature is the truth."
"Really? Can you settle accounts after the fact? ”
Deng Jiulang smiled bitterly: "You also think too low of me, right?" But a joke, how can I settle accounts? Say it, tell the truth. ”
"Honestly?" Liu Jing raised her lips, she curled her middle finger carefully, and tapped unhurriedly on the table, and after a while, she said slowly: "First of all, I will find a way to protect you from those who want to move you from arresting you." ”
This answer was obviously expected by Deng Jiulang, and he propped his chin and said with a smile: "Well, very good, continue." ”
"Go on." Liu Jing said in a low voice: "Then after I settle down, I will send someone to inquire about the news of Luoyang and find out the truth of this matter." ”
"And then?"
"Then, if it's fake, if your Deng clan still has a chance to rise again, I will do my best to help you, and see the truth in trouble."
This is really straightforward, Deng Jiulang couldn't cry or laugh, "What if it's true?" What if my Nanyang Deng clan really can't do it? ”
"If it's true?" Liu Jing seemed a little embarrassed, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then looked up at Deng Jiulang. said quietly: "If it is true, your Nanyang Deng clan is declining." You, Deng Jiulang, have become the target of everyone's shouting and beating. At that moment, you and I reversed our position. Offensive and defensive changes, right? ”
What she said was obviously what Deng Jiulang wanted to hear, and at the moment he nodded with a smile and urged: "Go on." ”
Liu Jing was obviously a little excited at this time, she tilted her head for a while, and then turned her head to look at Deng Jiulang. After staring at his handsome face for a moment, she looked at his tall and long figure again. After looking at it for a while, Liu Jing suddenly said, "If it's true." Then you can no longer force me, and you will not dare to bluff me at will. She raised her lips and smiled lightly: "At that time, I, ah, I must be going to take revenge." ”
Deng Jiulang smiled encouragingly: "Revenge? Very good, go on. ”
When Liu Jing said this, she imagined that kind of scene, and she was really a little excited. She tilted her head and smiled and said, "At first, I will pretend not to know, and then take you to the vicinity of the official mansions that are interested in capturing you. She felt that she was really a little excited, so she gagged her fist and was quiet for a while before continuing: "I will attract those officials to come and get you." When you can escape out of breath, they will come down from the sky and save you. ”
Deng Jiulang was a little surprised by what she said later, and he said strangely: "Saved? ”
"Yes, saved." Liu Jing glared at him with gloomy eyes, and said hatefully: "Just like you saved me at that time!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Deng Jiulang choked. Several of the silver-armored guards standing behind him also choked.
After stopping the cough, Deng Jiulang hurriedly asked without shame: "Then what?" ”
"Then I find a way to get someone to tell you a moneymaker. A way to revive the family. Liu Jing glared at him, and then said, "Then I will let you fail." When you are helpless, come forward to save you. ”
"Save me again?" Deng Jiulang coughed suddenly, and he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Just like I was at the beginning?" ”
Liu Jing was very honest, she said quietly: "No, the plan I was looking for in desperation at that time was not from you. Later, you came forward to help me break the siege, and you really broke the siege. Speaking of this, she grinded her teeth and said sullenly: "Even the method used is too hateful, I, I have a chance, and I want you to fear me and respect me!" ”
"And then?" Deng Jiulang asked with a smile: "After you teased me a few times and saved me a few times, what should you do next?" ”
Liu Jing looked at him crookedly for a while, and then said decisively: "At that time, the acceptance is almost over, and I will recruit you as a son-in-law." Let you honestly follow me to sell silk. ”
Obviously, her final answer was greatly unexpected by Deng Jiulang and several silver armor guards, after a violent choking cough, Deng Jiulang put his fist on his forehead, chuckled sullenly, laughed and laughed, he raised his lips and said, "It turns out that Ah Jing still wants to marry me." After a pause, he added, "Then aren't you tossing in vain?" ”
Liu Jing glanced at him and thought: How could it be a toss in vain? I subdued you and suppressed you, so that you will only be honest in the future, and you will definitely be very good to me in the future, such you are far more realistic than marrying Gu Cheng's temperament, how can this be a toss in vain?
…… At this time, Liu Jing didn't expect that her idea was exactly the same as the trick she used when she was eleven years old to Gu Cheng. It seems that no matter how a person changes and grows, it is difficult to change his nature.
Deng Jiulang was still laughing, and the silver armor guard behind him was still choking, and after a while, Deng Jiulang stood upright, coughed and said, "I'll go out for a while." Without waiting for everyone to reply, he strode away, and after a while, Liu Jing saw him striding to the carriage parked outside, and as soon as the curtain was drawn, he buried his head and laughed.
And Deng Jiulang got up, and all the silver armor guards followed. Seeing the group leaving in a majestic manner, Xiao Er, who came to serve the food with a tray, called out in a loud voice: "A few guests, aren't you dining?" As soon as his voice fell, Liu Jing, who was only sitting honestly on the side, replied in a clear voice: "First a ding of mutton, and the rest later." ”
"Yes." When Xiao Er was ordered to leave, Liu Jing had slowly repented. How could she really listen to that man's words just now and say what was in her heart? It doesn't matter if you say this idea, I'm afraid that Deng Jiulang will remember it in my heart, and maybe I will find it out again and settle old accounts with her.
