Chapter 051: Rescue

"Who are you?"

For a moment, Xie Fenghua was also in a trance, and subconsciously asked who he was.

She became famous at a young age, and she fought in the north and south, and she is also a household name. Now, he has to live in his sister's body and continue to continue this life. This is obviously herself, but it is not her body, and by accident, she has never seen her only sister again, which is not sad.

And it all seems to have started with the person who asked her who she was.

If she hadn't met him, she wouldn't have known Du Pingfei, and she wouldn't have experienced the demands of her youth, let alone made such a heavy promise, and even left her hometown to taste the wind, frost, rain and snow.

As Yuan Minzhou said, her life can have another look.

She may still love swords, but she doesn't have to endure the wind, frost, rain and snow of the border city day after day. She can have people she likes, or she can simply like those beautiful dresses and jewelry, instead of thinking about how to fight and kill people.

Now, this "culprit" came to ask her in a grand manner, who are you?

How dare he?

After a short period of stunnedness, Xie Fenghua suddenly stood up straight, faced Zhao Pei with an unprecedented strong attitude, and laughed at himself: "Who does the emperor think I am!" ”

Zhao Pei suddenly clenched his fists, and when his eyes fell on the cool curvature of her lips, his pupils contracted suddenly.

In Xie Yinghua, he saw too many familiar expressions and temperaments, so much so that he suddenly had an illusion - that person did not die, but lived in this world with another identity.

But at this moment, he suddenly found that the person in front of him was not the person he hoped for.

At least, that person has always had a bright smile, even love and hate, when will he show such a sharp and sarcastic smile?

Thinking like this, he also stabilized his mind, collected the superfluous expression on his face, and seemed to return to his previous lofty posture. And his gaffe just now was just an illusion.

He then sat up straight and smiled, "I'm confused." The identity of Mrs. Yuan is here, and I would ask such a stupid question. ”

This is to give each other a step down.

Xie Fenghua didn't want to cause more trouble, so he quickly gathered his mind and said respectfully: "The courtiers have grown up with their sisters since they were children, and they may be quite similar to their sisters in some aspects, and the emperor may recognize the courtiers as her." ”

She bowed her head slightly, her attitude respectful but with an obvious politeness and detachment.

When Zhao Pei saw it, all the doubts in his heart retreated, and he nodded: "That's true, just now I thought Xie Fenghua was alive." However, she will be very pleased that you are so outstanding now. ”

Xie Fenghua smiled silently.

At this time, Yuan Minzhou, who had been silent for a long time next to him, suddenly stood up and said: "The emperor doesn't say it, the ministers haven't discovered it yet, this heroic spirit is rare in the world, and even the ministers admire it." ”

Xie Fenghua secretly said that it was not good, he was provoked by Zhao Pei just now, but he forgot that there was a Yuan Minzhou by his side. If he finds out something, how about that?

You know, this is a figure to be reckoned with. In her heart, Yuan Minzhou was even more difficult to deal with than Zhao Pei.

Thinking so, she couldn't help but bow her head and didn't answer.

But Zhao Pei seemed to be caught in some memory, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said after a while: "That's all in the past." However, since Young Lady Yuan is also here, why don't you explain to me, what is going on with these letters? ”

Xie Fenghua looked over and quickly recognized that it was a handwritten letter that had once been used as a "relic".

After a brief moment of surprise, her face returned to normal.

Although she had instructed Dou Changke, never mention this matter to others. But if Zhao Pei is really suspicious, it is not difficult to find out anything by following the clues.

At this moment, she looked at the letters, her expression was unexpectedly calm, and she didn't try to justify, but said lightly: "What does the emperor want to ask?" ”

"I asked Dou Changke, these letters are handwritten by you, not the so-called relics?" Zhao Peiliang said coolly.

When he noticed the ink fragrance on the letter last night, he asked Xi Lu to go to Dou's house in the middle of the night and ask Dou Changke clearly.

And it turned out to be like this!

He never knew that anyone would dare to be so bold as to use handwritten letters as relics.

"Do you know that this is a crime of deception?" Thinking of the fact that he had been deceived, Zhao Pei still had a breath in his heart, and his voice suddenly sank, showing his anger at the moment.

Xie Fenghua smiled, his eyes were bottomless, and he couldn't tell her emotions, "Your Majesty, do you know why the courtiers forged these letters?" ”

Zhao Pei looked stunned, but did not answer.

And she had already said to herself, "I forged this letter just to find out the truth about my sister's death in battle. Now, the facts have also proved that the original war death is hidden in the dirty, why should you care about the authenticity of these letters? ”

"You don't think it's important?" Zhao Pei asked.

Xie Fenghua then shook his head, his face calm, "It's not important." Forgery of letters is nothing more than a means, and if you get the desired result, it is worth it. My sister once taught me that if you want to get results, you might as well use some means. After all, soldiers don't get tired of cheating. ”

It was just a few simple words, but the two people in the hall fell silent at the same time.

I don't know how long it took for Zhao Pei to look at her again and say meaningfully: "Even so, I will no longer pursue your crime of deceiving the king." It's just that in the future, you must not do such a thing again. ”

"Yes." Xie Fenghua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The result is far simpler than expected.

Fortunately, Zhao Pei did not continue to investigate, otherwise, she would probably have to use all her strength to justify.

After that, Zhao Pei instructed some other things, then waved his hand and asked them to retreat.

The heavy palace door slowly closed behind him, Xie Fenghua squinted slightly, looked up at the clear blue sky, and suddenly shouted: "Master Hou, don't go so fast!" You're waiting for me! ”

She followed quickly, but followed Yuan Minzhou silently.

In the Qinzheng Hall just now, she only cared about arguing with Zhao Pei, but forgot about his existence. Thinking about it now, I shouldn't have said anything wrong, right?

Her thoughts circled, and she suddenly put her mind at ease, and smiled a little heartlessly, "Master Hou, what are you thinking?" Why don't you speak? ”

Yuan Minzhou suddenly stopped, looked at her seriously, and asked, "Did Madam tell any lies?" ”

Lies?

Xie Fenghua coughed suddenly, pretending to look away inadvertently.

The biggest lie she ever told was the sentence "My sister taught me"?

Yuan Minzhou blinked, and asked again, "Why did Madam suddenly stop saying a word?" Didn't I say something? ”

Xie Fenghua coughed a few more times, frowned, and said puzzledly: "What does Master Hou mean by this?" ”

Seeing the nervousness and vigilance in her eyes, Yuan Minzhou suddenly chuckled, walked forward, and said as he walked: "I'm wondering, when you lie, will you be as righteous as you were just now, and even be indignant because others doubt you?" ”

Xie Fenghua twitched the corners of his mouth, speechless.

These words seem to be soft and weak, but in fact, there are soft knives hidden in them.

If you are not careful, you can only end up being stabbed.

Xu was not willing to deal with such a strange problem, Xie Fenghua also felt a little annoyed in his heart, glanced at him, and did not answer his words.

She's deaf!

Yuan Minzhou didn't seem to expect her to answer, and continued to say to herself: "Speaking of which, Madam really surprised me a lot. Not only is he knowledgeable, he can copy a good hand, but he also dares to shoot arrows in public to save people, just like ......"

"Seems like what?" Xie Fenghua suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"It seems that Marshal Xie is alive." Yuan Minzhou looked at her meaningfully, and after a while, he continued, "Seriously, if this face wasn't Marshal Xie's, I would have thought she had come back from the dead." ”

This idea, which seems ridiculous, best explains what is happening here.

He didn't have much contact with Xie Fenghua, but after experiencing so many things, he also noticed that something was wrong. Especially when I saw the conversation between her and the emperor just now, the strange feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Even, at that moment, he came up with such an idea - what if Xie Fenghua hadn't died?

This thought came inexplicably, but it made his heart tremble slightly, and an indescribable feeling arose.

Suddenly, he hoped for this outcome.

But Xie Fenghua didn't want this to be the case, and after thinking about it, he retorted: "Master Hou's words are a bit excessive. I'm still standing in front of you, and it doesn't seem like a good thing that you're ignoring my existence and thinking only about my sister? ”

When she said this, Yuan Minzhou's face showed a touch of embarrassment, and he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I just suddenly thought of this possibility, and I felt it......"

"It's not an excuse." Xie Fenghua suddenly stopped, looked at him with a cold face, and said undoubtedly, "I know what you think about my sister, and I am very pleased in my heart." At least I know that there is another person in this world besides me who is so expecting her to be well. It's hard to say, since Master Hou and I have become a relative, why are you obsessed with the past and can't extricate yourself? ”

It may be hilarious to say this.

But Xie Fenghua has her own considerations. Many times, when she saw Yuan Minzhou's pain, her heart was always not good. If I didn't correct him before, I felt that Hengzhu was her in her past and present lives, and it didn't matter if these emotions were revealed in front of her.

Someday, these memories will fade with time.

She believes that Yuan Minzhou can leave behind the past that was unfair to him.

But today, she has to pay attention to this problem, and there is a faint illusion in her heart, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the relationship between the two will become more and more embarrassing. Yes, even at the risk of angering him, she had to say these words.

As expected, Yuan Minzhou's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he opened his mouth several times, but he stopped talking.

In the end, he also said apologetically: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." Perhaps, you are right, since you and I have become relatives, then naturally there should be no other thoughts. However, there is one thing I want you to understand, you are you, your sister is your sister, no matter what, this will not change. I must remember the purpose of marrying you before. But in the future, if you have someone you like, you can tell me directly. When the time comes, I will do my best to find a good relationship for you. ”

When he had finished speaking, he stopped speaking and walked forward.

Asking to marry Xie Yinghua was actually deliberate, and the ultimate goal was just to protect her from worry-free all her life.

He could give her anything she wanted, except affection.

Changying once asked him, even if he wanted to fulfill his promise to Marshal Xie, why did he marry him?

In this world, if you really want to take care of someone, it is not impossible. For example, you can recognize her as a righteous sister, or you can entrust her to a kind lady in Tianjing.

But he didn't think so.

Women always have to get married, how long can he protect him in the name of his brother-in-law? Will the ladies who have nothing to do with her do their best to take care of her and treat her as a person at the top of their hearts?

No matter what choice you make, there are so many unknowns, so it's better to put her directly under your wing.

He gave her whatever she wanted, except for that unique affection.

Changying also reminded euphemistically, what if Miss Xie Er fell in love with him?

He didn't take this question to heart. In his opinion, Xie Fenghua's love and hate are clear and absolute, and her sister will not be far behind. He explained his intentions at the beginning, and presumably Xie Yinghua would not force it.

Like it, or don't like it, you can't force it.

Unconsciously, he walked to the palace gate, turned over his horse, and when he looked down at her, he said with a bit of seriousness: "Since you have received the errand of the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, you should go and see it as soon as possible." If you need any help, just let me know. ”

"Okay." Xie Fenghua nodded, and when he pulled up the reins of the horse, he suddenly thought of something, his movements paused, and when he raised his eyes to look at Yuan Minzhou, his eyes were hesitant and strange, "I hope Master Hou can take that matter to heart just now." The deceased is not to be pursued, and the matter is put down. I won't hold on to it, but I also hope that Hou Ye will talk to his mother when he has time. She seems to be urging something all the time......"

"Huh? What the? Yuan Minzhou suddenly came back to his senses and said puzzled.

Xie Fenghua showed a hint of awkwardness on his face, and said in a low voice: "Mother knows about you and me. ”

With that, she walked away.

Yuan Minzhou thought of that awkward little face, and suddenly felt a little funny.

Speaking of which, it's nothing more than those things that are going to go away.

It seems that his mother is really too idle!

After Xie Fenghua left the palace, he went back to the Hou Mansion directly. She asked people to ask where Sun Hengbo was, but she didn't get any news for a while, so she sat in the garden of the Hou Mansion and looked at Tianli's thoughts.

After King Yu's rebellion, the Du family was most implicated. According to Zhao Pei's will that day, except for Du Pingfei and Du Huaishao, he didn't plan to let go of the other Du family.

This hand is bloody enough, and it is enough to deter the courtiers in the entire court.

However, what surprised her was Du Huaishao. When I met him in front of the tea house, I thought he would be involved in this matter, but he really escaped it. I have to say that this person's luck is not bad.

At this time, she suddenly thought of herself. Now that Zhao Pei gave her the title of deputy commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the days ahead will be much more interesting than being trapped on the roof of the backyard. In this life, if you really want to go back to the army, some things need to be prepared in advance, right?

Thinking so, she said hello to Mrs. Yuan, and went to familiarize herself with the errand environment in advance.

……

Sun Hengbo carried the hem of his skirt and followed the child for a long time.

Until, she stopped in front of a narrow, dirty alley. She looked at the uneven ground in front of her, smelled the foul-smelling ditch next to her, her round face suddenly wrinkled, and she wondered, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

"Right ahead." The boy pointed deeper into the alley and took a few more steps.

The maid Yunxiang showed a look of disgust on her face, and hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, it doesn't look like a good place here, why don't we go?" What if the lord finds out that you have secretly come here, I don't know how you will be angry? ”

Sun Hengbo also hesitated, and a trace of wavering flashed in his eyes.

It's just that when she saw the thin figure in front of her, she still shook her head, "No." Since I agreed to help the kid just now, there is no reason to leave halfway. Moreover, the fact that this place is so desolate also indirectly shows that the child's situation is very difficult. For this reason, we can't turn back. Let's hurry up. ”

"But, miss, we don't even know what the child's name is......" Yun Xiang watched her cautious steps, and her brows furrowed a little tighter.

It's just that Sun Hengbo didn't seem to hear it, and there was no pause in his steps. In desperation, she could only lift the hem of her skirt and immediately followed.

After touching a cup of tea, the child finally stopped in front of a low thatched hut and made a gesture of invitation to Sun Hengbo, "Big sister, my eldest brother is inside." ”

Sun Hengbo nodded at him, glanced over, and his face became extremely ugly. From the outside, the room seemed to be crumbling, the wood door was hidden, and occasionally there was a low, painful cough or two.

She never knew that there was such a place in the heavenly capital, and her heart suddenly had mixed feelings, so she asked: "I haven't known your name all the way!" ”

The child touched his head and said timidly, "My eldest brother said that he can't tell others." ”

"Can't even I say it?" Sun Hengbo stared at him, his voice soft and beautiful, "Since I came here with you, I won't harm you." If you are still jealous of me......"

The kid hurriedly waved his hand, "No." I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone! ”

"Okay."

"My name is Du Silkworm."

People from the Du family?

Sun Hengbo's face changed, thinking of the rebellion in the heavenly capital in the past few days, his round face suddenly tensed. Now, only two people of the Du family can live in this world, except for Queen Du, who is still in the harem, there is only Du Huaishao, the young master of the Du family.

Is Du Huaishao the person here?

Sun Hengbo hesitated and was about to walk in, but saw Yun Xiang pull her sleeve violently, with an uneasy look on her face. She hurriedly patted Yun Xiang's hand and walked in without saying a word.

It was a low, dilapidated hut with no lights in it, and it was pitch black everywhere you looked. In the autumn weather, the air should be refreshing, but at the moment the breath in the house is turbid, and I think it should not be a long time since the wind has passed. And when she smelled the smell of blood in the air, she frowned, and hurriedly instructed Du Silkworm, "You light the candle first." ”

"Okay." Du silkworm pointed out as he said.

The faint and dim candlelight suddenly illuminated the entire room, and Sun Hengbo swept around the cold furnishings in the room, and then his eyes fell on the man lying flat.

That must be Du Huaishao.

Sun Hengbo walked over and leaned over to look, but saw that Du Huaishao's cheeks were red, his lips were chapped, and the placket on his chest was soaked with blood, sticking to his skin, and had coagulated into blood clots. She gently picked open the placket of the shirt and looked at it carefully, only to find that his wound had only been simply bandaged and had not been medicated, and it had become very serious at the moment.

At this moment, Du Huaishao frowned and shouted in pain, the abnormal red on his face became more and more shocking.

Sun Hengbo probed his forehead, was immediately startled, and asked Du Silkworm, "Why don't you take him to see a doctor?" ”

Du Silkworm immediately lowered his head and said in a low voice: "No money." ”

If it weren't for the urgency, he wouldn't have gone out on the street to steal money.

Sun Hengbo suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said, "This won't work." He was so badly injured that he had to be dealt with as soon as possible. If it drags on like this, he'll soon die. ”

When Du Silkworm heard this, her legs were almost weak, and she immediately knelt down and begged her, "Miss, you must save my eldest brother!" My eldest brother is too bitter to live a good life yet, but he can't just die! ”

"Don't panic." Seeing this, Sun Hengbo calmed down, first pulled him up, comforted him softly, and then asked Yunxiang, "I remember, there is a separate courtyard not far from our house?" Do you remember the way you used to go? ”

Yun Xiang immediately understood her intentions, and immediately disagreed: "Miss, that is the courtyard where you will marry in the future." You can't rush a strange man there, can you? If the old lady knew about it, it would be really miserable. ”

Sun Hengbo suddenly rewarded her with a burst of chestnuts, and said viciously: "If you don't say it, I don't say it, how will my father and mother know?" Human life is at stake, don't say anything more, just listen to me. Go and hire a carriage now, and we'll get him out of here." ”

Yun Xiang stomped her feet suddenly, but Sun Hengbo had already made up her mind, and she couldn't allow her to refute it, so in desperation, she could only reluctantly follow her instructions.

After a short time, the carriage was ready, and the three of them, together with the coachman, carried Du Huaishao to the carriage and soon arrived at the Sun Mansion Courtyard.

Sun Hengbo ordered someone to find the best doctor in Tianshangjing to treat Du Huaishao's injuries.

But when she saw the doctor's face, her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but say urgently: "Doctor, his injuries are okay?" ”

The doctor shook his head.

Sun Hengbo's face changed greatly, and his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
