Chapter 157: Obsession
It took a lot of time for Yun Gu'an to return to the Hou Mansion from the palace.
As soon as he left the palace, he was attacked, and the killers were extremely ruthless, and they were all outlaws! Although he had prepared early, he was still broken through the defense line by the outlaws, and after paying the price of minor injuries, he killed everyone and could not leave him alive, and Yun Gu'an was not surprised.
He moved some people's cakes, causing a counterattack, and the killers sent out must be dead soldiers, and even if they are alive, they can't ask anything.
"Hades? Or a dead man......"
Back at home, Yun Gu'an was still thinking, and suddenly remembered a killer detained in a private prison and Lu Juncheng's father and son, the former assassinated Yun Qing at the homecoming banquet, and after Xiao Han's interrogation, he became a human being, and he couldn't ask anything.
He was not as ruthless as Xiao Han, but he cut off Lu Juncheng's hands, Lu Juncheng was so hard that he didn't expect it, but he was so scared that Lu Yuanhe said it all. But Lu Yuanhe is young after all, and he doesn't know much, and he hasn't even been in contact with the people behind Lu Juncheng.
He was not satisfied with the result.
Fortunately, someone attacked Yun Qing this time, and the power of the armory workshop was finally obtained, and he could grab it justifiably, and finally he didn't have to worry about anything.
Before that, he has one more thing to do.
Thinking of this, Yun Gu'an hurriedly came to the backyard, and before he entered the Xia family's courtyard, he saw Huai Rong walking out and said: "Master Hou, Madame has prepared wine and food in Lin Feng Pavilion, and is waiting for you to come over, the old slave is waiting for you here, just because I am afraid that you will not find Madame." ”
Yun Gu'an was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his brows tightened.
Lin Feng Pavilion, that's the place to entertain guests.
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart, turned around and walked in the direction of Lin Feng Pavilion, and when he heard Huai Rong coming over, he asked as he walked, "How is Yun Qing?" ”
Huai Rong shook her head and sighed mournfully, "It's not good. ”
Yun Gu'an nodded slightly, and his steps sped up a little.
A moment later, he came to Lin Feng Pavilion and saw the old lady sitting at the table in the flickering candle flame.
The years have left knife-like marks on her face, full of vicissitudes, and at this moment it is inexplicably free, which is the freedom he doesn't want to see.
frowned, Yun Gu'an didn't say anything after all, and strode over and sat opposite Xia Shiqing.
"You're here."
Xia Shiqing came back to her senses and said lightly, her expression was not sad, she raised the flask and poured a glass of wine for Yun Gu'an.
Yun Gu'an was still silent, picked up the wine glass and drank down.
Seeing him like this, Xia Shiqing smiled and asked, "The armory workshop has been taken down?" ”
Yun Gu An's head was shocked, he was silent for a long time, and shook his head gently, "No, Wen Xiang won't let go easily." ”
"He didn't even listen to the emperor's orders?"
Xia Shiqing asked with a smile again, let
Yungu became more and more uneasy in his peace of mind.
She never asked these things, why did she ...... today
After settling down, Yun Gu'an did not hide it, and said in a deep voice: "If it was the emperor twelve years ago, Wen Xiang would not dare to make a mistake, but now...... Wen Xiang just didn't hear it. ”
"So it looks like you have a tough battle to fight."
Xia Shiqing's face was gentle, he took out an envelope from his sleeve and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Yun Gu'an, with the words "Heli Shu" clearly written on it.
Even at the moment when Xia Shiqing took out the envelope, Yun Gu'an had already guessed what it was, but when he really saw the three words written on it, he still panicked.
"How?"
Xia Shiqing saw that he didn't speak for a long time, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said lightly: "Isn't this what you want?" ”
"I ......"
Yun Gu'an made a sound, only then did he realize that his voice was already hoarse, he coughed twice in a low voice, and said hoarsely: "I have a fief." ”
After speaking, Yun Gu'an was afraid that Xia Shiqing did not understand, and added: "I'm going to send you there...... I didn't plan to leave. ”
"That's ...... It's rare for you to think so much about me. ”
Xia Shiqing glanced at Heli Shu, and seemed to have the intention of taking it back.
But she just glanced at it, and then smiled again: "But, I want to reconcile." ”
The expression on Yun Gu'an's face froze instantly, and his lips trembled for a long time before he asked in a low voice, his voice was full of unwillingness, and his eyes were full of questions, "Just for Yun Qing?" For a mere chess piece? ”
"Yun Gu'an, I warned you a long time ago."
Xia Shiqing looked at him with a disappointed expression, "Now that you have exchanged Yun Qing's life for the Armory Workshop, don't expect me to stay any longer." She's a pawn in your eyes, and she's here with me...... Not only is she not, but she is a more important relative than you! ”
"Loved ones?"
Yun Gu'an took a deep breath, his temples were stimulated suddenly, and he maintained his last calm: "Ci is not in charge. Shi Qing, you grew up in the palace since you were a child, you shouldn't not understand this truth. Yun Qing has such a big advantage in exchange, I see hope to break the deadlock, you should be happy for me. ”
"Happy?"
Xia Shiqing got up suddenly, smashed the wine jug to pieces with a "bang", the smell of wine was everywhere, and there was not even disappointment in his eyes, only Leng Ran: "Yunqing, he is not your soldier, he is my granddaughter!" Twenty-two years ago, you lost my son, twelve years ago you lost my daughter, and now you don't even spare your granddaughter...... If I stay, is it my turn? ”
This sentence was too hurtful, as if a knife was inserted into Yun Gu'an's chest, and the pain made him pale: "Are you confused? You have clearly seen that she is not as innocent as she seems, and there may be a black hand behind her that is even more terrifying than the third prince, and you still spoil her so much, even at the expense of separating from me? ”
Daylight Saving Time
Qing smiled coldly: "But what if I say that Yun Qing is Yun Shu's daughter and your own granddaughter?" ”
Yun Gu'an was stunned for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "Except for her face, where is she a little like Shu'er?" Besides...... She has a deep mind, someone must have deliberately cultivated and deliberately looked for opportunities to get close to you, why should you deceive yourself and be obsessed? ”
"It's because you're too conceited and stubborn."
Maybe she was used to being disappointed, Xia Shiqing didn't have much sadness at the moment, but felt relaxed, she suppressed the moistness in her eyes, and sighed: "I'm leaving, you can't stay, I'll move out of the Hou Mansion tomorrow, you can do it yourself." ”
Yun Gu'an lost his mind instantly, looked at Xia Shiqing, who was about to leave, and suddenly shouted: "What if... I confess my blood to Yun Qing, you stay! ”
"Yun Gu'an, don't you understand? It's all late. ”
Xia Shiqing stopped, turned his head and calmly looked at Yun Gu'an, whose face was extremely old at the moment, "There is only one chance. ”
Saying that, Xia Shiqing took a deep breath: "If you were to see Yun Qing after being poisoned, even if you went to see her, and then went to the Holy Lord to ask for the so-called weapons workshop, you would not have come to this point." ”
Yun Gu'an watched Xia Shiqing disappear into the night in a daze, he stretched out his hand, but he couldn't catch anything.
He still doesn't understand, he is all for her good, for her sake, and for the sake of the entire Great Xia, why did he come to this point?
He sat in the pavilion in a daze, and the people did not dare to come in.
I don't know how long it took, but the cold wind blew in through the window, and the winter night was extremely cool, which made him sober.
In the moment of soberness, he saw the book on the table, and suddenly chuckled, as if whimpering.
"Well, so...... Safer. ”
In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, Xia Shiqing's courtyard door opened.
She hadn't slept all night, and she had clearly put it down, but she couldn't sleep for some reason.
The luggage had already been packed by Huairong and loaded into the carriage, and as long as Lu Yunqing was brought into the carriage today, he would be able to completely dissociate himself from the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
That person, naturally, is out of sight and out of mind.
Xia Shiqing thought so, and when he looked up, he saw Yun Gu'an standing outside the door, still wearing yesterday's clothes, and probably didn't sleep all night.
Xia Shiqingquan didn't see it, and said, "Huairong, let's go pick up Yunqing." ”
Huai Rong glanced at Hou Ye, and saw that he didn't speak or say much with a gloomy face, and led a group of grandmothers to Lu Yunqing's courtyard.
After a while, Huai Rong walked out with Yun Qing in her arms.
Seeing that her little face was blue and black, her lips were purple, her eyes were closed, and she looked like she was running out of time, Yun Gu'an's eyes sank even more, and she suddenly said: "I heard that the eldest lady of the Wan family was cured of the cold disease of the Mo Palace, and I will send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the doctor." ”
Xia Shiqing didn't seem to listen
After he said this, he instructed Huai Rong to carefully carry Lu Yunqing into the carriage, and then he came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, I don't have to worry about this matter, I will also send someone to inquire." ”
Yun Gu'an choked on this sentence and felt uncomfortable for a while, and his face became darker.
Send someone?
Who can Xia Shiqing send?
The word "Chen Gong" jumped out of his mind, and his heart couldn't stop pounding.
She's going to find Chen Gong!
But she is no longer his wife, he can't stop it, if he quarrels like yesterday, it will only be more irreparable.
Yun Gu's thoughts turned very fast, and seeing Xia Shiqing getting into the carriage, he suddenly rushed over and grabbed her sleeve with an arrow step.
Xia Shiqing frowned and shouted: "You let go!" ”
Catching up with Xia Shi's cold eyes, Yun Gu'an's hand was loosened, and he suddenly said, "The three chambers of commerce are for you." ”
After speaking, he added: "The idle king accounted for half of it back then, and the other half was an apology. ”
Xia Shiqing smiled when he heard this, "The county lord is worried about how to raise money for Yun Qing's treatment, thank you for the gift." ”
Seeing that he was still accepting his own things, Yun Gu was relieved, but his voice was full of bitterness: "No need." ”
Xia Shiqing nodded and stopped looking at him, got into the carriage and disappeared into Yun Gu'an's eyes.
Huai Rong whispered goodbye to Yun Gu'an, and then went away with the carriage.
……
Leaving the gate of the Hou Mansion, Lu Yunqing opened her eyes and sat up, and when she saw Xia Shiqing who was still stunned beside her, she called: "Grandma."
Xia Shiqing came back to his senses, saw Lu Yunqing, and suddenly showed a smile on his face, and said: "Grandma is fine, it's just that after living in the place for a long time, she has feelings, and it is inevitable to be sad." ”
Lu Yunqing snorted lightly, she didn't ask more.
She can't even handle her own feelings, let alone others, her grandmother has lived for so many years, I'm afraid she can see it more thoroughly than her.
"Grandma, where are we going?"
Seeing Lu Yunqing change the topic, Xia Shiqing was also happy, and said: "The place where your grandmother grew up, Xianwang Mansion, your grandfather Chen Gong should be waiting for us there." ”
After that, Xia Shiqing explained: "He used to be your great-grandfather's personal soldier, and now he is one of the governors of the Beijing camp, commanding 30,000 Beijing troops to defend the capital, and many of these 100,000 Beijing troops are your great-grandfather's private army, hidden in the Beijing camp through the hands of Chen Gong. ”
Lu Yunqing bowed slightly, she had also learned the basic information about the strength of the army in the capital before.
In general, it is divided into the Imperial Forest Army that protects the Imperial Palace, and the Beijing Camp that protects the capital, and the Beijing Camp is divided into the Beijing Army and the Pro-Army, each with more than 30,000 troops, plus 15,000 elite of the Imperial Forest Army, a total of more than 75,000 people to defend the imperial power.
However, with the current situation in the Great Xia Dynasty, how many forces are secretly diverting and controlling these 75,000 people, she naturally can't find out.
