Chapter 174
Xiao Zhangang finished discussing business with Dingzhou Assassin Shi, and then went out with the guards. Pro-() or searching, oh, originally with his status, it should be the Dingzhou Assassin to visit him, but this trip should not be publicized, so he did not disclose his identity to the public. When I left the Thorn History Mansion and passed by the dim sum shop, I suddenly thought about it, so I went to the dim sum shop to buy something.
Then he went back to the post station and found Feng Luan, "I brought you something to eat." β
Feng Luan's injuries are still painful, usually either lying or sitting, plus it is inconvenient to never go out, seeing the dim sum and smiling and thanking, "Hard work Uncle Seven." β
Xiao Zhan frowned, and wanted to say, "You don't have to remind us that we are uncles and sisters-in-law", and felt that her anger had no reason, otherwise what would she shout? If you want to blame, you can blame the obsession in your heart that can't be solved, and you can't blame her.
"Did you encounter anything difficult out there?" Feng Luan asked.
"Nope." Xiao Zhan shook his head, and then said, "Wang Xu, you wait at the door first." β
Wang Xu's eyes flashed when he heard this, he looked at Feng Luan, and when he saw her nodding, he retreated silently.
"Something?" Feng Luan asked.
"Can't talk without a problem?" As soon as Xiao Zhan spoke, he felt too impulsive, so he immediately changed his tone and asked, "How is the injury on your body?" I asked the doctor, and the doctor would only slowly recuperate. β
"It's fine." Feng Luan smiled: "It doesn't hurt so much now." I didn't want to talk about myself, so I said, "It's that you came out to practice, and I saw that you were more heroic before." When you win the battle this time, the emperor rewards you, and the Queen Mother and Concubine De must be very happy. β
Xiao Zhan said lightly: "That's it." The Queen Mother and Concubine De were naturally happy, but they didn't feel gratified, they only felt that they were being used more deeply,ββ and they were more like a useful chess piece than before.
Feng Luan was already injured and weak, and he didn't want to stay alone with him for longer, so he continued to talk endlessly, "Uncle Seventh must be very busy with his hard work, thank you Uncle Seven for buying pastries for me in his busy schedule." βββ
This is the meaning of a polite send-off.
Xiao Zhan does have something, even if she doesn't say it, it is impossible for her to talk about family life here all the time, but there are a few words that have been pressed in her heart and uncomfortable, don't ask at the moment, when she sees her brother Xiao Duo, I am afraid that there will be no chance again.
There was silence for a moment before he spoke, "Ah Luan, how is the sixth brother treating you?" β
Feng Luan felt that this was not the beginning of a good topic, and if he continued, he would inevitably have to talk about himself and his previous relationship, and the more he talked, the more embarrassed he became, so he smiled and said: "Very good, Uncle Seven don't worry." β
"Good, well, good." Xiao Zhan muttered a few times, was silent for a while, and then asked, "You have been away from the capital for so long this time, and when you meet the sixth brother, how can you explain it to him?" Not worried at all? β
Feng Luan asked rhetorically: "If there is no trust between husband and wife, is it still husband and wife?" I believe in him, and he should believe in me, and if not, then there is no need to be a husband and wife. β
"Really?" Xiao Zhan turned his face away, and the sunlight hit his side, outlining a good-looking line, revealing a faint sense of amazement, "I really envy the sixth brother, with your ......, you protect him so much." β
"It's nothing, husband and wife should trust each other and be considerate of each other." Feng Luan wanted to end the topic quickly and let him go, otherwise it would be meaningless to talk so endlessly,ββ and make him uncomfortable. So he said casually: "You and Princess Cheng ......"
I want to be polite, "You and Princess Cheng can also trust each other", but when I thought of Princess Cheng and Concubine Jiang calculating myself together before Princess Cheng, this politeness couldn't be said.
Xiao Zhan raised his eyes to look at her, and immediately understood what she wanted to say, and hooked the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, the Qin family hurt you before, and I can't deal with her for the time being, but one day I will take this breath for you." "I want to get more power, let the Qin family rely on me, instead of taking control of myself, the Qin family doesn't want to rely on my mother's family to do whatever he wants!
"Don't mess around." Feng Luan frowned and said: "She is the daughter of the Qin family after all, with the Queen Mother and Concubine De supporting her, the emperor didn't attack her because of that incident, don't disobey the holy will." After a pause, "Although she calculated me, it didn't work out in the end, so I should be more vigilant in the future." β
Xiao Zhan's eyes suddenly brightened, "Are you worried about me?" β
Feng Luan was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Naturally, I don't want you to offend the Qin family and let me burn myself again, I still want to live a quiet life." β
The corners of Xiao Zhan's mouth burst into a smile, she was lying, she was obviously worried about herself just now, but she didn't expose it, "Don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble for you." β
"Alright." Feng Luan had to stop the topic directly, "I'm tired and want to rest for a while." β
Xiao Zhan smiled briskly: "Okay, you rest first." β
Feng Luan breathed a sigh of relief.
When he left, he called Wang Xu in and asked, "How long does it take to send a letter from Dingzhou to the capital?" It's been more than ten days since my letter was sent, right? Wait for the prince to receive it, and come over again, oops......, no, the prince is leading the troops out now, and he definitely doesn't have time to come. He frowned, "But you can send people from the palace, it doesn't seem to work, it's too chaotic outside, and it's not safe to have the guards of the palace." β
Do you want to stay by Xiao Zhan's side until the end of the war? How long does that take, a year and a half?!
Feng Luan's face was a little depressed.
Wang Xu was worried about her injury and illness, and she had never told her a letter, but seeing her frowning at this moment, she couldn't help but ask, "The princess used to ......, is she very familiar with His Royal Highness King Cheng?" I couldn't hear it clearly outside the door just now, but a few words vaguely floated out, what "husband and wife", what "trust", the topic seemed very familiar, and I heard His Royal Highness King Cheng call her "Ah Luan", too close.
Feng Luan lowered his eyes, "Sort of." One is that Xiao Zhan's behavior can't hide from him, and the other is that he is really upset, and he needs Wang Xu's help to think of a way to leave early, "I guess you have heard of those rumors in the outside world before." β
"Really?" Wang Xu was surprised.
Feng Luan smiled, and did not refute, it was an admission in disguise.
Wang Xu was silent for a while.
"So I want to leave early." She said.
Wang Xu was a little troubled, "If there is no war, it is okay." Now that His Royal Highness King Cheng is in Dingzhou, naturally this vicinity will soon be within his range, as expected, his army should be approaching this side, and he came first. Let's find a quiet place again, and we have to avoid him, I'm afraid it's not easy. He looked at her, "Especially since you have injuries on your body, and you can't withstand all kinds of bumps and turns." β
Feng Luan frowned and said, "But ......, I really don't want to stay by King Cheng's side for too long." β
Even if he and Xiao Duo trust him more than before, King Cheng is a mustard after all, and if he can believe in himself, it doesn't mean that he won't be unhappy. Besides, under the melon fields and plums, you have to avoid suspicion, and you have nowhere to go now,
Wang Xu thought for a while and persuaded: "The princess doesn't have to worry too much, if you want to come to the war, His Royal Highness King Cheng will naturally be too busy to take time out, and he won't be as leisurely as these days." β
In the following days, Xiao Zhan was really busy and had no time to chat.
Feng Luan relaxed slightly.
But soon, because of all kinds of rumors about the war in the city, what Jixian County conquered, and what killed and injured thousands, all kinds of shocking news, made people uneasy.
For a month, Feng Luan heard a lot of messy news.
"In the end, we won more? Or is it a rebel? She asked.
Wang Xu was extremely patient, and said carefully: "The war was originally to injure the enemy by 800 and lose 1,000, this time the Chaozhou King and Xiao Ying were a little hasty, His Royal Highness Duan Wang and His Royal Highness King Cheng attacked on both sides, the victory is in hand, the princess does not have to worry." β
"Really?" Feng Luan nodded, "That's good, it's better to kill the rebels as soon as possible." β
I calmed down this mess early, and I went back early. Moreover, Xiao Ying conspired against him, compared to the palace changes in his previous life, there were more casualties and greater crimes, and the emperor must be eager to tear this son, so naturally he would not have a good face for Empress Fan and King Su. Even according to the trajectory of the previous life, the emperor did not move Empress Fan and King Su for the sake of the court situation, and he would closely monitor him, so Empress Fan would not have time to stare at herself all day.
Just when everything was going well and everyone was waiting for the news of the victory of the anti-rebellion army, there was suddenly bad news! ββ
Xiao Zhan was injured.
At the moment, Feng Luan's injuries were almost as good as he was, and when he heard that he was injured, he was startled, and hurriedly led Wang Xu over to visit, but at the bottom of the steps at the door, he saw a basin of blood and water coming out. I couldn't help but look back and whisper, "Oh my God, it looks very dangerous." β
Wang Xu's eyebrows were solemn, Xiao Zhan would be in big trouble if something happened.
It wasn't until dusk that the doctor inside came out with a tired face and blood stains.
Feng Luan stepped forward and asked the doctor, "How is His Royal Highness King Cheng?" Is the injury serious? ...... the end," before he finished speaking, a little eunuch came out of it, "His Royal Highness King Cheng invites the two of you in." β
Externally, Feng Luan and Wang Xu are a pair of brothers and sisters.
Of course, Xiao Zhan couldn't just ask Feng Luan to go in alone, what was the matter with seeing someone's sister alone? So he called the two of them, but when they came in, he waved at Wang Xu again, "You go out." β
Feng Luan glanced behind him, then stepped forward, sat down in the chair next to him, looked at him, passed a few circles of thick gauze around his waist, frowned and asked, "What kind of injury?" β
"Gunshot wounds." Xiao Zhan replied.
Feng Luan was startled, if the arrow wound was barely reasonable, the gunshot wound was ......, and he couldn't help but be frightened: "Someone from the rebel army rushed in front of you?" The ...... "How horrible that is."
"It's not." Xiao Zhan's face was pale with blood, and his voice was also faint, "I wanted to kill the head of the opponent's general, and I couldn't help but rush over to kill it." βββ
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.
But when he pierced the other party's heart with a shot, the other party also gave himself a shot.
When Feng Luan heard him say it, he felt that the danger was very terrifying, and he couldn't help but persuade: "Although military merit is important, you don't have to be so greedy for merit." "I'm afraid that it will be too serious, so he will be unhappy with this patient, so he changed his words, "I heard that people went to the battlefield, and they saw too much blood, and they were irrational when they killed red eyes, so I don't blame you." β
Xiao Zhan was originally in pain to death, but hearing her comfort herself like this, she suddenly felt that it didn't seem to hurt so much.
It's a pity that Feng Luan's next sentence is, "Come in and see if you're okay, I'll go out first, you can rest and talk when you're better." Immediately got up, "You sleep, take care of your injuries." β
In fact, I wanted to ask him if the battle situation would be affected, but I couldn't help if I asked, so I had to endure it.
I think the generals and staff below have their own arrangements.
"Ah Luan." Xiao Zhan stopped her, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Originally, he had also experienced a little bit of the calm and condensed temperament of the general king, but this injury, seeing her again, inevitably brought out a little bit of the prince's delicacy, "I'm injured, can't you sit down and accompany me?" If I die......"
Feng Luan immediately reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" β
"Are you afraid of my death?"
"Of course I'm afraid." Feng Luan frowned and replied, "You are dead, what should you do if you leave the soldiers and people of these states?" I still want to go back to the capital alive. β
"You're actually worried about me." Xiao Zhan said arbitrarily.
Feng Luan felt that he was not injured in the abdomen, but in his brain, and he was speechless and brainless, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xiao Zhan is not without brains, but she knows that now that she is injured, she is willing to listen to herself and say a few words, "Ah Luan, I ......, but I am unwilling." β
Feng Luan decided to cherish words like gold, and if he could not speak, he would not say a word.
Xiao Zhan put his hand on the wound in his abdomen, his injury was actually not a shot through as she imagined, in addition to the overall arrangement, he wanted to use this to talk to her.
There is probably only this one chance in this life, and he said abruptly: "You were pitted by the sixth brother at the beginning, and he treated you mediocre at that time, not to mention the mess in Duanwang's mansion, I am afraid that there will not be a day for you to sleep peacefully." But now you have a son and a daughter, trust each other, and live well. β
Unwillingly, he said: "If you had chosen me at the beginning, wouldn't you have lived a good life, or even a better life?" β
Then the power in his hand increased day by day, standing taller and higher, thinking of her who had missed him, he couldn't help but feel more and more regretful,ββ if he was at this time, when he met her, maybe she wouldn't have refused, right? Will the Feng family gladly agree? And unlike the prince who had an empty hand at the beginning, there was nothing.
Feng Luan turned his head to look at him, is it true that seriously ill people like to think crankily, and then take advantage of injuries and illnesses to become childish and willful? Or did he really think he was going to die, so he spoke as if he was dying?
"Ah Luan, am I too stubborn?"
Feng Luan was quiet and replied: "You're not too stubborn, you just can't ask for it, and you're just unwilling." Looking at him calmly, "There will always be some regrets in life, no one can be as happy as they want, even the emperor, and when they are satisfied, they are less disappointed, not to mention you and me?" Besides, what you don't get looks good, and if you get it, it's not enough. β
Xiao Zhan raised her eyes and looked over, under the sun, her eyebrows were still exactly the same as back then, distant mountain eyebrows, long and beautiful Danfeng eyes, and her skin looked like high-grade mutton fat white jade. It's just that in those pair of watery autumn pupils, the delicate and innocent have faded, and they are replaced by quiet as water, which makes them look very strange.
Gently hooked the corners of his mouth, but there were no words-
Perhaps, I waited until I arrived, but I didn't get it.
"His Royal Highness Chengwang!" There was a rushing sound outside.
"I'm afraid it's the military situation, I'll go out first." Feng Luan took the opportunity to say goodbye and went to the door to lead Wang Xu to leave together.
A few voices floated from inside.
"What?"
"According to the forward spies, there is a movement in the rebel army, and some of the troops going north are withdrawn, and it seems that they plan to work with the remnants of the nearby army to suppress Dingzhou in one fell swoop......"
At the bottom, what Xiao Zhan said couldn't be heard clearly.
Feng Luan was shocked, went back to the house, and said to Wang Xu: "Is Dingzhou in big trouble?" β
Wang Xu sank, "It looks ......, yes." β
Feng Luan couldn't help but hang in her heart, "Then what should I do?" Xiao Zhan was injured, and it seemed that he couldn't get up, and even if he could get up, he couldn't go into battle, so he ...... like this, "Will it make Dingzhou chaotic?" Is there danger right away? The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and I couldn't help but think of Xiao Duo,ββWhere are you?"
The author has something to say: Let Xiao Duo and Feng Luan meet in the afternoon~~
PS: Starting tomorrow, the morning update will be changed to 9:00~
