Chapter 17: Night Run
Outside the city, the yellow sand is rolling, the carriages and horses are leisurely, and the room is harmonious.
Xingyue Pavilion, Lingxiang pretended to be Ye Xingcan hidden in the house, not wanting to be broken by Huo Yue before he arrived, making the palace chickens and dogs jump.
Although Huo Yue was annoyed, he did not mess up, and at the same time ordered someone to take care of Lingxiang, he flew the pigeon to the prince as soon as possible. It was found that Lord Shaomu was also missing together, and he guessed that the two of them were going to Chunyang Pass, but there were many paths, and he was worried that the princess would make a detour in order to avoid the pursuers, so he urgently reported to Shen Qiubai, the defender of Jianxing.
The garrison of Jianxing City was full of lights, Shen Qiubai received an urgent report from Huo Yue, since he knew that the matter was urgent, and he could not publicize it, he quickly selected dozens of guards, and when he passed by the "Fumantang" restaurant, he took out the half-drunk Shen Chun and jumped out of the city.
When they left the city, they led the troops to act separately, and the Shen brothers chased them all the way, chasing them out of ten miles, and finally saw a carriage in front of them moving leisurely.
Shen Qiubai patted the horse and galloped, steadily blocked in front of the carriage, turned over and dismounted, and bowed deeply to the people in the carriage, "Please go back to the house with the princess." β
The people in the car were indeed Ye Xingcan and Liu Qingrang, she seemed to have expected such an ending, but for some reason, she was too lazy to hide her whereabouts, chose a secluded path, or set off straight along the official road, as if she wanted to fight this time, but she didn't know what to fight for, and why did she want to go to Chunyang Pass to see.
Ye Xingcan sighed softly and slowly raised her eyes, "Brother Qiubai, I want to go by myself, and it has nothing to do with Lord Liu." β
In the face of dozens of sergeants, although Liu Qingrang's expression contained a little fear, he still firmly stood in front of Ye Xingcan, did not take half a step back, heard her call Qiubai's brother, and guessed that the person who came was Shen Qiubai, the son of the Shen family and the general of Jianxing, the next helmsman of the Shen family, who was ridiculed by the Chaozhong clan and abandoned his pen from Rong.
"Ah Can, are you addicted to eloping with someone? How many times have you met this man? So go with him, where do you put Brother Yao? Shen Chun looked at Liu Qingrang's familiar face in front of the carriage, thinking about the emotional entanglement with Yang Xianxian in the past, his heart was like a knife, and the exit was not polite.
Shen Qiubai's expression was grim, and he grabbed Shen Chun, who was speechless, and bowed to Ye Xingcan again, "Don't be angry, princess, Xiaochun drank wine tonight and hasn't woken up yet." β
Ye Xingcan could hear it clearly, his heart tingled inexplicably, and the word "elopement" was even heavier in his chest, and his breath was surging for a while, and it was difficult to calm down, "Second Brother Shen, no, General Shen, why do you say that?" When do I elope? Where does addiction come from? How did you get such a crime? β
Shen Chun heard it, as if he suddenly woke up, thinking that what he said was a little heavy, and was about to find an excuse to fulfill what he had just said, but he saw Liu Qingrang's scorching gaze at Ah Can, without awe and humility, just unobstructed care and eagerness, which is the gaze of a man to a princess, it is clearly a man's gaze at a woman.
Thinking of Qin Mo's madness and insistence on keeping filial piety for three years, looking at this familiar face, he was even more angry, his eyes were full of cold light, and he stepped forward and tore Liu Qingrang away and pushed aside.
Shen Qiubai was stunned for a moment, and without waiting for remedy, he saw Ye Xingcan jump out of the carriage with an arrow step, his eyes became cold, he protected Liu Qingrang, turned around, and looked at Shen Chun quietly, "If I remember correctly, Lord Shen should be a six-rank military general, what qualifications do you have to treat the four-rank young pastor of the imperial court like this?" Come on, take it for me! β
Hearing Ye Xingcan's anger, Shen Qiubai couldn't end it, so he hurriedly ordered someone to take Shen Chun down, but he forgot to block the mouth that borrowed wine to strengthen the bear's guts, "Ye Xingcan, are you crazy?" For the sake of this man, you let people tie me! eloped two years ago, it is understandable, what is this time, where is this weak scholar compared to Brother Yao, what are you to be Brother Yao! How long will it take to hurt him! β
"Stop!" Although Ye Xingcan felt that it was a little inappropriate to sneak out of the palace this time, Shen Chun opened her mouth and closed her mouth with a "elopement", but she was confused, "What did you say?" Who did I elope with two years ago, and how did I hurt my brother? β
Hearing Ye Xingcan's serial questioning, Shen Chun's eyes suddenly widened, this time he was completely awake from the wine, thinking back to what he said just now, his hands and feet were cold, this time after Ah Can's return to the palace, Brother Yao pulled a few of them away, and repeatedly emphasized that they should not mention the past, how can they be confused, they all blame this champion Lang, who looks so similar, and also abducted Ah Can, so he was angry and speechless.
Shen Qiubai was also shocked when he heard the conversation at this time, and he regretted that he had brought this fool with him, he was afraid that it would be a big disaster, and his heart turned a hundred times, thinking about how to get rid of this situation.
The wind and sand were blowing, but the group was relatively speechless, not knowing how to speak.
But Liu Qingrang was confused and eloped? Is this elopement with Ah Can? That relationship is good, and life is worth going through.
Shen Qiubai thought about it, smoothed out all the reasons that could be explained, and decided to throw Shen Chun out, "Ah Can, that kid drank wine and mixed his brain into a pot of porridge, so he said the wrong thing." You should remember that he likes the things of Xian Xian, Baba has been chasing for more than ten years, but Xian Xian has never had him in his heart, when he went out of Jianxing City with his lover, Xiaochun chased after him, and it was the same scene as tonight, so he touched the scene...... "He kicked Shen Chun again, and looked at him.
Although Shen Chun was reluctant to mention Yang Xianxian, this time the disaster came out of his mouth, if Yuan didn't come back, he might be thrown by Ye Yao to feed the wolf, so he gritted his teeth and received, "Ah Can, I drank too much, looking at you and Lord Liu, I thought it was Xianxian and that ...... That person, you didn't choose what to say, you and Brother Yao grew up together, and you really promised each other, where did those messy things come from. β
Ye Xingcan sounds reasonable, but he feels unreasonable, shouldn't he shout "Yang Xianxian" if he admits that he is wrong? Brother Chun clearly shouted his name word by word, but if there was a problem, he didn't know what was wrong, so he could only follow the train of thought they gave, and continued, "Brother Chun, the person in Xian Xian's heart back then was General Qin Mo, Mrs. Wen mentioned that the two had not decided to marry, how could they elope again, and for what?" β
Yang Xianxian and Qin Mo?
Ah Can actually knew Qin Mo?
Shen Qiubai and Shen Chun looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw surprise and ...... in each other's eyes Collapse, how should this be rounded next?
However, Liu Qing let Huang Yu intervene in the middle of several people again, and said stupidly, "Qin Mo, is it the major general of the Wuling Army?" He is my cousin, although we have never met, but after the Lingdong Wang family removed my mother, only my eldest aunt helped our family from time to time. I heard my mother mention before that my cousin fell in love with a woman who couldn't be loved, and he once gave up the camp generals and took the woman to southern Yunnan, which turned out to be General Shen Xiao's fiancΓ©e. β
This sentence miraculously turned everything around, but poor Shen Chun has been chasing Yang Xianxian for more than ten years, and he has always been ruthless and ruthless, and he turned around, and at this moment he had the identity of a fiancΓ©.
Although Shen Chun felt that it was not very moral to arrange Qin Mo in such a series, but after all, he left with Ah Can, although Brother Yao agreed, the two never dissolved the marriage contract at that time, even now, it has not been dissolved, in this way, although the heroine is out of the oolong, but Xian Xian is not in Jianxing now, it is better to explain it like this than to say that he leaked his mouth and was punished by Brother Yao.
Thinking of this, no matter what the eldest brother Shen Qiubai planned, he hurriedly picked up Zhuang Yuanlang's words, and said stupidly, "Lord Liu is really witty, to be honest, you are still a little similar to your cousin, I drank wine, and just now I galloped all the way, blowing a little wind, and my brain was dizzy, so I was confused about the time, and I recognized the wrong person, so I talked nonsense, and I will accompany you here." After that, he solemnly saluted Liu Qingrang, which frightened Zhuang Yuanlang and hurriedly retreated.
Shen Qiubai knew that Shen Chun had hatred for Qin Mo, and because of his love for Xian Xian, he also had respect for Ye Yao. It's just that he, Shen Qiubai, once fought side by side with Qin Mo in Chunyang Pass, that nightmarish seven days and seven nights.
At this moment, he quietly stared at the direction of Chunyang Pass, his eyes were far away, as if he had crossed the rolling yellow sand, and returned to two years ago, wolf smoke was everywhere, blood flowed thousands of miles, and now he thought of it was cold sweat.
He knew that if Qin Mo hadn't defended the pass desperately, Beiyin would have broken through Jianxing before the prince won the battle of Cangge, if it weren't for the 6,000 trapped camp to only 600 people left, and the yellow sand buried the bones, where would there be today's Yongning Palace.
Every time he stood on the Jianxing city wall, the figure of Qin Mo leaning on the "night kite" would always appear in front of him, cold and bleak, but the sky was full of blood. No one knows, a year ago, the Jianxing garrison changed its uniforms, why did he insist so much on the black-clothed Xuanjia, thinking about it, just for that person, for the army that is not afraid of death.
"Ah Can, General Qin has too many entanglements with Xian Xian, he is a fan of Xiaochun's authorities, this is to blame him, Xian Xian couldn't let go of the obsession in his heart back then, chased General Qin to the outside of the city, and was seen by Xiaochun, so he misunderstood." I don't know why, Shen Qiubai finally spoke, although what he said was also true and false, but it was to clarify a love debt for Qin Mo.
When Ye Xingcan heard it, he always felt that something was missing, and after listening to Shen Qiubai's explanation, he reacted, "Then what Lord Liu said, who is the woman that General Qin took away?" β
Shen Qiubai seemed to have thought of this question a long time ago, smiled faintly, and wrote lightly, "Lord Liu also said that he has no relationship with General Qin, I am afraid that Mother Liu has misremembered, or maybe General Qin has a loved one, but we don't know about it." β
Shen Chun was dissatisfied when he heard that the eldest brother defended Qin Mo like this, but today's matter, the fault was himself, and he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to arrange it carefully, which was satisfactory to everyone, and now he could only do this, and he thought of his trouble this time, but he must not let Brother Yao know, and he just hoped to reveal this chapter as soon as possible......
Before dawn, the Shen brothers sent Ye Xingcan back to the palace, and also "sent" Liu Zhuangyuan back to the Shaomu Mansion by the way, as if everything was as usual, calm and sound.
Two days later, Ye Yao lost his mind when he received an urgent report from Huo Yue and learned that Ah Can and Liu Qing had left Jianxing at night, his face was cold and lonely, and he could no longer see joy and anger in his eyes. The porcelain cup in his hand was shattered, and the broken porcelain pierced the palm of his hand, only to see the blood dripping, and his eyes gradually became cold to the bone.
Yang Jun, who was hidden in the shadows, wanted to show up several times, but finally walked out of the tent with his back to him, leaving him alone, silently collecting his thoughts, and waiting for the blood to dry up......
