(Chapter 29) Lonely Snow Falls in Tuzhou City (12)
"So that time I got drunk behind the academy mountain, was it because of her?" The snow was white, the cold wind was blowing, and in the attic on the mountainside, I was lazily leaning against the pillar behind me with a glass of wine in my hand.
Jiang Hewei smiled bitterly, "Yes...... Just because of her. β
He picked up the wine jar and poured it violently, and the wine flowed from the corner of his mouth to the pale blue cloud-sleeved shirt, a little embarrassed and a little sad.
I turned the wine cup, and my expression changed slightly, "Since I have chosen to let go, but now I am still reluctant to come back?" β
"It's not that I'm reluctant, I've been waiting for this day." Jiang Hewei's eyes were dark and his face was cold.
I was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Jiang Hewei, Jiang Hewei, you said I was cold-blooded, how good are you yourself?"
For a woman, he can rejoice for her, rejoice for her, grieve for her, and hurt for her; But it can also put her in a state of joy and sorrow, let her taste the best things in the world, and then let her fall into the bleakest winter night.
"Aren't you afraid to get her like this?" I'm curious.
Jiang Hewei glanced at me, and the corners of his mouth raised, "I will make her the happiest person in the world." β
She will no longer abandon him because of others, and she will no longer let him endure the pain of lovesickness, why should he be afraid?
Even if he dreams back in the middle of the night, he will wake up from the dream, and even if he wants to live with this despicable title forever, he will not regret his original decision.
"Ha, the second young master of the dignified Marshal's Mansion, the cold-faced little general who everyone respects and stays away from will one day do anything to get his sweetheart...... You're so unlike the guy I knew! I like it, though. β
I threw away the wine cup, picked up the jar on the table, and took a big sip.
Jiang Hewei saw that I was so excited, and he said coldly, "My woman, I can make up my mind, if you are half distracted by her, don't blame me for not being able to tolerate the love between us!"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
I spit out the wine that I had drunk into my mouth, and the hot smell of wine remained in my mouth, and I coughed with tears in my eyes.
"Jiang Hewei, if you warn me, warn me, do you have such a trick? It's you who pull me to drink with you, it's not that I covet your wine, right? With such strong wine, do you want me to lie halfway up the mountain and not go back today? "I'm angry.
Jiang Hewei didn't show any guilt on his cold faces, he just took another sip of sake.
"Sure enough, since the academy, the two of us have not been on the same page, it makes sense!" I hated to put the jar back on the table.
Jiang Hewei glanced up at me, and then said lightly, "It was Yun Sheng who specially instructed me, saying that you have been in poor health recently and can't drink cold wine." β
After a slight pause, I turned my gaze to Jiang Hewei's body, and then withdrew my gaze.
"I know my body very well, and I don't need to worry about it." I didn't speak.
Jiang and Wei looked at me, and he was holding the wine.
"Your mind is too deep." He told me, "Have you ever thought that even if you climb up, you don't have to be alone?" β
I squinted at him, and then looked at the snow outside the attic.
"I'm not alone." Never.
Jiang and Wei smiled, with mockery and pity.
"Are you referring to Cen Xi, or Gu Yuancheng?"
I pursed my lips.
"The road Cen Xi wants to take is destined to end only for him alone; As for Gu Yuancheng...... Scold. β
"He's my opponent and he can go a long way with me." I looked at the snow track.
"You're not a naΓ―ve person, Shen Qingzhi." Jiang Hewei said lightly: "If you are so tense with Gu Yuancheng, you will only make the emperor suspect you in vain." β
"We all know that no one in Qin and Qi is ready now, at least three years, we will be safe in three years, and you don't have to make trouble with him at all."
"He is a hidden danger to our Qin country." I tried to quibble.
"The inevitability of history never changes because of one person." He spoke coldly.
I'm speechless.
"I'm not interested in asking you what's going on in your heart, and as an old friend, I can only advise you to come here."
"Hey...... I sighed, "to be honest, as an old friend, can you do me a favor?" β
Jiang Hewei raised his eyebrows and looked at me, and he decisively refused, "I can't." β
ββ¦β¦β
People who are not used to seeing it, even after a long time, still don't like it.
"I didn't discuss it with you." I said, "When the snow stops, the rebels will probably start." I don't want you to send troops, you just need to help me defend the city. β
"Ge Jun has no actual combat experience, so he may not be an opponent of the rebels." Jiang and Weidao.
I smiled at him, "I'll play myself." β
Jiang and Wei squinted, but he didn't say anything.
Heavy snowfall, displaced people, rebels attacking the city, foreign thieves watching, I should take advantage of the heaven-sent opportunity.
I looked at the remnants of the wine jar, and I only felt that my chest was inexplicably agitated and empty.
Two days later, I went to Tuzhou Prison again.
For my arrival, Song Liang only felt troublesome.
"Don't you think it's immoral for you to come every time you come?"
Song Liang lay on the moldy straw in prison, he only squinted at me, and then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
I don't have any idea about his attitude, after all, you can't force a person you put in prison to be grateful to you, right?
I comforted him, "You can't give up on yourself, this time I came with good news for you." β
"What good news." Song Liang didn't believe my words at all, he didn't even open his eyes.
"Let you out."
"What?" Song Liang sat up in shock.
"Meet your sister."
"Cut." Song Liang lay down again.
I asked, "Not going?" β
Song Liang frowned, and after a while, he said, "Go." β
I laughed, "Those who know the times are handsome." Come on, open the door. β
Song Liang came out of the cell door, he looked at me and said, "I need a clean dress." β
"I think you're good like this."
Wouldn't such a appearance serve my purpose even more?
"If not, I won't go." Song Liang turned around and walked directly to the prison.
"Okay, okay." It's getting late, and I have a lot of other things to do," come and give him a clean prison coat. β
Song Liang glared at me, and I looked back at him innocently.
"Count you ruthless." Song Liang glared at me fiercely, and then went with the jailer to change clothes.
When we got out of the carriage, Song Xiao was already waiting for us at the door of the inn.
No, it's waiting for her brother.
"Brother."
Song Xiao ran to the carriage in small steps, and when she saw Song Liang's face full of injuries, she couldn't help but redden.
Helping Song Liang get out of the carriage, the brother and sister directly ignored me and walked towards the inn.
"Brother, there is medicine in my room, I'll wipe it for you."
"I don't hurt, don't worry."
"What do you say, I'm your sister, how can I not worry about you?"
"Haha, it's for my brother to lose his words, little sister is not strange."
"Brother......
Hehe.
I looked at their backs and felt that all my kindness had been fed to the dogs.
"Does the master envy them?" Seeing that I stayed where I was and didn't leave, Wang Jie asked me tentatively.
I reached out and hooked his neck, and said coldly, "Xiao Jie, I think you've been talking a lot lately, shouldn't you consider pulling your tongue off?" β
Wang Jie calmly pushed me away, and he said to me, "Yesterday, my subordinates saw Miss Song Xiao in the pavilion. β
I straightened my clothes and said, "Say." β
"Last night, Song Xiao met Wu Yue in the Acacia Pavilion, and they got along for about half a cup of tea."
"Wu Yue? Who is Wu Yue? β
Wang Jie was speechless for a while, and said, "It's the one who offended you outside Tuzhou City that day." β
"Oh." I know" is Zhao Cheng's cronies. β
"Yes."
"What did they talk about?"
"Wu Yue said, everything is fine, let Song Xiao not worry."
"What else?"
"No, Song Xiao gave Wu Yue a Jinpa, and she left."
I raised my eyebrows, "Wu Yue didn't leave?" β
"Yes."
"Who is he waiting for?"
"Song Xiao's maidservant's distant cousin, Shang Xiaoqiu."
"That's interesting." I laugh.
Shang Xiaoqiu asked Wu Yue if everything was ready, and Wu Yue replied that everything was ready. Shang Xiaoqiu asked Zhao Chengke again what he was doing, and Wu Yue replied, no. β
Then Shang Xiaoqiu asked Wu Yue, Shen Xiangke noticed the movement between them, and Wu Yue said, not yet.
"Shang Xiaoqiu said that since Zhao Cheng helped them once, he should not let him help them again."
Wu Yue said that yes, and he also thinks this is the best way.
"And then they all left."
After listening to Wang Jie's message, I bowed my head and groaned.
Judging from their conversation, Zhao Cheng is indeed the spy who reported the news. The master deliberately released them in order to confirm this, why is the master frowning now? "Wang Jie didn't understand what I was struggling with.
I asked him, "You say, why did Wu Yue see the two of them separately?" β
If Song Xiao and Shang Xiaoqiu were accomplices, why did they separate to see Wu Yue, and judging from Zhao Cheng's attitude, he didn't seem to know Song Xiao and Shang Xiaoqiu at all.
But if they are not complicit, then what role does Wu Yue play in their eyes? Why did Shang Xiaoqiu approach Song Xiao?
What's more, judging from her several contacts with Zhao Cheng, she can be sure that Zhao Cheng is definitely a ruthless old treacherous and cunning person, and a spy who only ventilates the news will be his ambition?
And Gu Yuancheng, what did Gu Yuancheng do in it?
Wang Jie was stopped by my question, and if he thought about it deeply, he was confused.
"According to the master, can Song Liang know all this?" Wang Jie pondered for a long time, and then asked me.
I sneered, "He even knows which old hen in Tuzhou City laid a few eggs at which point, and he doesn't know about this kind of thing that happens under his nose?" I'm afraid he knows more than we know. β
"In that case, it is better to interrogate him, and we know a little more about all these things." Wang Jiedao.
I shook my head, "He won't say anything, even if it's torture, he'll only say things that make us more confused." β
Song Liang is not a good official, but he has the ability to be an idle dumb official.
