(Hero Tomb Chapter 21) The woman on the beam

Nangong Qiyue has been away for seven days, and in the past seven days, every day, a fat pigeon as white as snow will fly to Yan Lingge's windowsill with a letter on its feet.

However, at this moment, it was almost dawn, and the white and chubby figure still did not appear.

Inside the house, Yan Lingge walked back and forth a few steps with some irritability, and after looking out of the window a few times frequently, he finally turned his head and called outside:

"Leaning on the lotus. ”

"The slave is here. ”

"Today's ......"

"Mrs. Hui, there is no letter from the general today. ”

β€œ......”

With a slightly displeased, but more uncomfortable gaze, Yan Lingge looked at Yihe, who was standing with his head lowered and in an orderly manner, Yan Lingge was speechless.

"Who told you I'm going to ask you this!"

"Madam, you might as well wash and sleep first. Maybe it's because the road is long and the road is delayed. ”

Listening to Yan Lingge's muttering alone, Yihe laughed secretly in his heart. After getting along with each other in the past few days, she feels more and more that her wife is really a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person who wants to save face.

"Can't sleep. ”

Sitting on the stool, Yan Lingge put his hands around his chest, but his eyes still looked out of the window from time to time.

It's all this time, why hasn't that fat pigeon come yet? Could it be that someone has beaten down and eaten it on the road? Or is it that he got lost? Otherwise, Nangong Qiyue's guy doesn't want to write to himself anymore?

Sitting there thinking about it for a while but couldn't think of anything, Yan Lingge frowned, and then suddenly got up and walked out the door.

"Hey, ma'am, where are you going at such a late hour?"

"Go find Xie Yanfeng. ”

Without looking back, she replied to Yihe, Yan Lingge jumped forward, and her figure disappeared into the night.

......

"Knock knock

At this time, in the Anping Marquis Mansion, except for the hissing of the summer cicada, there was no human voice.

But suddenly, a gentle knock on the door faintly reached the ears of Xie Yanfeng, who had just fallen asleep.

"Huh?"

Opening his eyes in a daze, Xie Yanfeng listened carefully and realized that the knock on the door just now was not an illusion. So after yawning loudly, he resigned himself to dragging his sleepy body, walked to the window and opened it.

"I said, princess, can't you let me sleep peacefully at such a late hour?"

"Hey, hey. ”

Seeing Xie Yanfeng's extremely sleepy appearance, Yan Lingge smiled at him, and fell lightly into the house from the window.

"Aha-they all say that Liang Shang is a gentleman, do you want to be a Liang Shang woman?"

Yawning again, Xie Yanfeng poured himself a glass of water and drank a few sips.

"If someone else finds out that you and I are alone in the same room at this hour, then it will be worth it? If Qi Yue's vinegar jar knows, it would be strange if he didn't break my legs. ”

"Hehe, no one else will know. ”

Walking to Xie Yanfeng's side, Yan Lingge said: "You and Runzhu haven't been to the General's Mansion these days, and I haven't heard from Nangong Qiyue, and his letter hasn't come today, so ......"

"Tsk, finally admit that you're worried about him?"

Glancing at Yan Lingge, who had a worried look on his face, Xie Yanfeng smiled and said, "I don't know who has been stubborn before......"

"Thank you!"

glaring at Xie Yanfeng angrily, Yan Lingge finally tried to put away the idea of teaching him a lesson because he was worried about the situation of the two of them at this time.

"Do you have any news of him here?"

"Nope. ”

Xie Yanfeng shook his head honestly.

"I haven't heard my father mention Qi Yue in the past few days. ”

"Then you say, will he ......?"

"Don't be cranky. ”

Interrupting Yan Lingge's words, Xie Yanfeng said: "Tomorrow I will find someone to investigate, he is a blessed person, he has been on the battlefield for so many years, isn't he still alive and kicking up and down? ”

"Good. ”

Hearing Xie Yanfeng say this, Yan Lingge's hanging heart calmed down a little. Then she paused, and then asked, "Do you still want to sleep?" and woke up anyway, why don't we go drink?"

"Drinking?" now?"

With wide eyes and looking at Yan Lingge, who was "amazingly speaking", Xie Yanfeng shook his head.

"I said princess, even if you are not a real princess, but at least on the surface, you are not only the princess of Lidan Kingdom, but also the wife of the general of the country, in the middle of the night, you sneaked into my innocent man's room alone, and now you dare to ask me to drink?"

"In a word, to go?"

Disgusted with Xie Yanfeng, Yan Lingge said: "Anyway, I don't believe that your second son Xie will honestly stay in the room and sleep at this hour." ”

"I slept soundly when you came!"

After drinking the tea in the cup, Xie Yanfeng straightened his face and said: "The reason why my brother and the two of us haven't gone to you in the past few days is also to 'avoid suspicion', after all, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, not as open as the folk customs of Lidan Country, and not so free on the rivers and lakes, so sometimes, the princess still pays attention to it, not only for you, but also for Qi Yue." ”

"What do you mean?"

The first half of Xie Yanfeng's words was naturally understandable to Yan Lingge, but the last sentence made her a little confused.

"Didn't we go out to drink together when Nangong Qiyue was here?"

"But now he's gone. ”

Looking at Yan Lingge, who was still a little "naΓ―ve", Xie Yanfeng shook his head slightly.

"The court is also like rivers and lakes, if there are friends, there will naturally be enemies. When Qi Yue was there, because they were afraid of his exploits and methods, those people naturally didn't dare to do anything, but now that Qi Yue has left the court, it is not impossible if those villains take the opportunity to do some despicable things. ”

"What do you mean...... Me?"

When Xie Yanfeng's words reached this level, Yan Lingge gradually understood.

"Are you afraid that those people will take advantage of Nangong Qiyue's departure from Jingshi and make a fuss about me?"

"Yes. ”

Looking at Yan Lingge with a kind of "teachable" look, Xie Yanfeng said: "So before Qi Yue comes back, you better be a little more restrained, not afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”

"Got it. ”

In response to Xie Yanfeng, Yan Lingge had a plan in his heart.

It seems that during the period of Nangong Qiyue's absence, it is better not to go out as much as possible, but ......

"But Xie Yanfeng, why didn't you tell me these words until now?"

β€œ......”

Hearing Yan Lingge's question, Xie Yanfeng was speechless. So when he looked at Yan Lingge carefully and found that Yan Lingge was really asking questions, his gaze instantly changed to "rotten wood cannot be carved".

"I thought you would have figured it out for yourself. ”

β€œ......”

Silently glanced at Xie Yanfeng, who gritted his teeth, Yan Lingge turned around and walked towards the window.

"By the way, close the window for me. ”

Seeing that Yan Lingge was leaving, Xie Yanfeng said a lazy word, then turned around and went back to bed, intending to continue to meet Zhou Gong. But he didn't hear the sound of the windows closing for a long time, and when he turned his head, he saw that the man in the room was gone, but the two windows were still wide open.

"Cut, why is this man like this!"

Secretly scolded Yan Lingge, Xie Yanfeng just wanted to get up and close the window in desperation, but he didn't want him to just walk to the window, but a black figure suddenly appeared so frightened that he almost screamed.

"Oops, Otone, you're scared to death!"

glanced at Wei Yinque, who suddenly appeared, and Xie Yanfeng patted his chest in shock.

"I'm sorry, Childe. ”

Knowing that his coming at this time was indeed a bit sudden, Wei Yinque lowered his head with some self-reproach.

"Well, it's all right. ”

After his chaotic heartbeat calmed down a bit, Xie Yanfeng asked, "It's so late, what is Yinyin doing here?" Could it be that he misses me?"

"There is news from General Nangong. ”

Deliberately ignoring Xie Yanfeng's last sentence, Wei Yinque handed a letter to Xie Yanfeng.

"Qi Yue's?"

Seeing that Wei Yinque's expression was a little serious, Xie Yanfeng was suspicious, and hurriedly opened the letter in his hand. And when he quickly read the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but become nervous.

"What's going on?"

"The exact reason for this is not yet known. ”

He had already expected Xie Yanfeng's reaction after reading the news, so Wei Yinque replied unhurriedly: "But Childe can rest assured that General Nangong's injury is not serious, and he will be fine in a few days of cultivation." ”

"That's good. ”

Bringing the letter to the candle flame and lighting it, watching the curling tongue of fire devour the entire letter, Xie Yanfeng asked again, "Does he know?"

"I should know. ”

Knowing that the "he" in Xie Yanfeng's mouth referred to the person in the palace, Wei Yinque said: "However, General Nangong was injured, and no one else in the capital should know about it except him." ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid there are still a lot of people who know!"

Staring closely at the ashes on the ground, Xie Yanfeng's expression gradually became solemn.

"Now that Qi Yue is not in the capital, some people are afraid that they will not be able to hold it back, and there must be a lot of people who are secretly paying attention to Qi Yue. Yinyin, before Qi Yue came back, you sent someone to secretly guard around the General's Mansion. ”

"Yes. ”

Bowing his head to answer Xie Yanfeng's order, Wei Yinque hesitated, but still asked, "Childe is worried about the general's wife?"

"Hmm. ”

In the face of Wei Yinque, Xie Yanfeng has never shied away from anything.

"Qi Yue is not here, and the people in his house can only be protected by me. ”

"Oh. ”

"Haha, but don't worry, Yinyin, my favorite, of course, is Yinyin you!"

As if he heard a hint of jealousy in Wei Yinque's tone, Xie Yanfeng hurriedly said with a smile.

β€œ......”

An arm that sideways avoided Xie Yanfeng and wanted to climb on his shoulder, Wei Yinque's expression remained unchanged.

"That boy has a good rest, I'll arrange it. ”

"Alas, good. ”

Sighing with a little regret, Xie Yanfeng shook his head, looked at Wei Yinque's figure flashed, and disappeared into the room in an instant.

Then he closed the window smoothly, and he lay on the bed, for a while, but he didn't feel sleepy.

Nangong Qiyue, Nangong Qiyue, I have put a lot of thought into it for you, and when you come back, you have to thank me!
