Chapter 072: Coveting My Husband?
When Dou Changke walked in the door, what he saw was Yuan Minzhou standing in front of the window in a daze. He hesitated, but walked in anyway.
At that time, Yuan Minzhou was still immersed in that dreamlike whisper, and when he noticed him coming, he slowly turned his head, and his face, which had always been as warm as jade, was full of complex and indistinguishable looks, and even a little more alienated than before.
He just stood quietly, slightly sideways, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of sand mist, and the emotions at the bottom of his eyes made it impossible to see it really.
But Rao was like this, Dou Changke still felt a cold and powerful rush to his face, thinking that he was still thinking about his previous nonsense, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and asked tentatively: "Master Hou, you came to me, but what's the matter?" ”
Yuan Minzhou nodded at him and said, "Looking for you to come over, I want to confirm a few things with you." ”
"What's the matter?" Dou Changke couldn't help but be curious.
Yuan Minzhou pondered for a moment before he said, "I remember, you have been with Marshal Xie for a long time, you must be familiar with her too, right?" ”
Dou Changke was stunned, he didn't expect him to ask about this, and quickly said, "That must be familiar." However, why did Hou Ye suddenly ask about this? But someone wants to be bad for the boss? ”
At the mention of this, his full body of hangers was immediately put away, just like a hedgehog that was touched, as long as Yuan Mindong nodded yes, he would break those people into pieces.
"No, don't be too nervous." Yuan Minzhou glanced at him meaningfully, his eyes were as deep as the sea, but he said, "I just suddenly remembered that Yinghua and Marshal Xie are sisters, and they must have something in common in many places......"
Dou Changke suddenly sighed, with a knowing expression, leaned over, and said mysteriously: "Master Hou, you plan to please the young lady, but you don't know how to start." That's why you asked me, right? Don't worry, you're looking for me, and I'm sure I'll know everything. ”
Yuan Minzhou didn't expect his thoughts to jump out of his mind so quickly, and for a while, his face rarely showed a little tangled. Fortunately, Dou Changke is not a person to get to the bottom of it, and he doesn't need to explain anything, so he follows his words, "In your opinion, what do they have in common?" ”
Unexpectedly, Dou Changke showed a disapproving look on his face, and said, "Master Hou, this is wrong. What you should be asking is how much difference there is between them. ”
Yuan Minzhou's heart moved, and something flashed through his mind quickly. This is not the first time that such a thought has appeared, but this time it seems to have been confirmed by Dou Changke, clear and firm.
He hesitated, then said, "You mean, there are a lot of similarities between them?" ”
Dou Changke nodded, and he didn't have time to think about his intention to ask, but poured out the details he knew and the doubts in his heart.
Those details that were too similar had already occupied all his thoughts. If he didn't take this opportunity to speak out, he feared that he would be tortured to the point of madness.
At this time, he needed someone to tell him that these conjectures were not coincidental, nor that he was suspicious, but that there was something that he did not know.
After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Yuan Minzhou, with some expectation and nervousness in his eyes that he didn't even notice, and asked cautiously: "Master Hou, how do you feel after listening?" ”
Yuan Minzhou couldn't say how he felt.
Since he asked Dou Changke about these things, he had doubts in his heart. But after listening to these things, I suddenly became a little uncertain. What kind of coincidence can make two people have so many similarities? Is there any secret that no one knows?
He couldn't be sure, but when he met Shang Dou Changke's burning gaze, he couldn't hide the doubts in his heart, "Judging from what you said, there are too many similarities, right?" What do you think is the possibility that Yinghua was influenced by Marshal Xie? ”
"It's hard to say." Dou Changke gathered his mind and walked his thoughts around his mind before he said, "I only know that the boss often exchanges letters with the young lady. If the boss pointed out the young lady in the letter, it seems reasonable? ”
Yuan Minzhou knew that things were not so simple.
When she was surprised by her words and deeds in the past, how did Xie Yinghua answer?
- My sister taught?
Is this really Xie Fenghua's teaching, or is it her cover-up?
But what is she hiding?
The past flashed through his mind, and he tried to grasp something, but was frustrated to find that he couldn't. In front of him was a world shrouded in clouds and mist, and he was alone in it, and he couldn't see anything.
Dou Chang Ke immersed himself in his thoughts and muttered, "Could it be that someone deliberately imitates the boss's words and deeds to achieve ulterior motives?" ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he retorted to his words, "No, it shouldn't be possible." Words and deeds can be imitated, but spiritual charm cannot. Moreover, I don't think the young lady is a disgusting person, and she shouldn't have ulterior motives. ”
In self-denial, he felt that his head was about to explode, and he couldn't help but cry out, "So, why is this?" Why are there so many similarities between two people who are obviously different? Even if it's a coincidence, it's a bit unspeakable, right? ”
Yuan Minzhou was also at a loss, and only said when he heard the words: "Maybe, it's just that you think too much." Even if it's not a coincidence, it doesn't mean anything, does it? ”
Dou Changke was already a little shaken, but when he said this, he was unwilling to pass the matter aside, and continued to ask without giving up, "Master Hou, two people with different identities are doing similar things and have similar personalities, doesn't this mean anything?" ”
"What do you want from me?" Yuan Minzhou immediately explained his purpose, and said in a deep voice, "You should know that Xie Fenghua has disappeared from this world, and it is impossible for him to come back to life no matter what." Even if there are so many similarities between the two, they can't be assumed that they are the same person. ”
Dou Changke naturally knows this truth. It was because he knew that he was so hesitant.
In comparison, Yuan Minzhou seems to be much more sensible. Although he very much hoped that Xie Fenghua was still alive in the world, he personally collected her body at the beginning, no matter how much he hoped for it, it was just a fantasy.
In the silence, Dou Changke suddenly looked up at him, with a bit of weird expectation in his expression, "Master Hou, is it possible that the boss borrowed the corpse to return his soul?" ”
Yuan Minzhou was stunned, and when he realized what he said, the person who had always been as steady as Mount Tai suddenly shouted angrily: "Nonsense! How can you come up with these strange things? If people knew, did you think about the consequences? ”
Dou Changke shrunk his neck and did not speak again.
Seeing this, Yuan Minzhou also felt irritable in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand and said to him, "You go back first." Don't talk about such nonsense again. ”
"Good. Then I'm gone. Dou Chang was silent and turned to leave.
After thinking about it, Yuan Minzhou still couldn't come up with a reason, so he could only put it aside for the time being. He walked back to his room and carefully examined the man's injuries on the bed. After confirming that it was all right, he sat down in front of the bed and remembered what Dou Changke had just said.
In fact, not only Dou Changke, but also he found it incredible. As if thinking of something, he suddenly leaned over and carefully observed the face in front of him, but in the end he found nothing.
After a while, Changying came to report to him, saying that the peace envoy of the Northern Underworld had entered the city, and Dou Zhong specially came to invite him over to discuss the matter of peace.
Yuan Minzhou could only temporarily put aside other thoughts and went to the city guard mansion with Dou Zhong.
In this war, the Liang Dynasty occupied an absolute dominant position.
As the party that took the initiative to propose peace, the Northern Underworld showed full sincerity and importance in its posture. There were as many as 20 envoys from the Northern Underworld who participated in the peace negotiation this time, and they also brought several big gifts, and they had the posture of signing the peace agreement on the spot.
When Yuan Minzhou arrived at the castle guard mansion with his people, he was warmly welcomed by the envoys of the Northern Underworld. He did not care much about it, but put forward relevant views and conditions on the matter of peace. This meeting was just to explore the depth and reality of the Northern Peace, and he didn't expect to talk about it all at once.
Among the envoys of the Northern Underworld, most of them are the eldest princess of Duanyang.
The two sides made brief representations, and until they returned home, they did not mention the release of Tomorrow Xu.
That night, Yuan Minzhou sent a letter to Zhao Pei in Yunzhou, clarifying the matter of peace.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Pei's will came very quickly, and the letter on it was nothing more than agreeing to this peace, and asked Yuan Minzhou to take the envoys of the Northern Underworld to Yunzhou, and then discuss the return to Beijing.
Since it was a holy decree, Yuan Minzhou could not delay, and informed the envoys of the Northern Ming on the same day, and set a day to return to Yunzhou, that is, two days later.
And the eldest princess of Duanyang suddenly proposed that within these two days, the envoys of the Northern Underworld would hold a hunt to ease the relationship between the two sides, and sincerely apologize for the previous offensive.
Yuan Minzhou didn't want to go, but he had to. Before he repaired the book to Zhao Pei, he didn't have to take the Northern Hell people in his eyes; But now that the matter of peace has been decided, it is to promote this result, and he cannot neglect the envoys.
The hunt was set at a forest farm at the junction of Los Angeles and Jincheng. Xu had the lesson of Yunzhou's autumn hunting, and Yuan Minzhou deliberately ordered people to increase the defense, and it was necessary to ensure the safety of the personnel on both sides.
On this day, Xie Fenghua finally woke up. She got up slowly, but found that the house was empty, and when she caught Changying and asked, she realized that so much had happened during her sleep.
Fortunately, her body recovered well, and even the two arrow wounds healed at a very fast speed, which made her feel that the doctors in Los Angeles were skillful.
Changying knew what she thought, and secretly rolled her eyes.
In order to wake her up as soon as possible, Hou Ye gave the doctor a fate, and he must use the best medicine and prescription. The doctor, fearing that he would lose his life, got up almost early in the morning and studied the prescription in the dark. If you have done your part, can you not be clever in medical skills?
Since he was still in good spirits, Xie Fenghua asked the location of the hunt and went out.
As soon as the fighting stopped, the streets and alleys of Los Angeles became lively again, and people could be seen selling stalls everywhere. Walking all the way, Xie Fenghua was also in a good mood, looking here, touching there, and unconsciously came to the entrance of the forest farm.
There were quite a few people standing there, and when they saw her, they hurriedly walked up to say hello.
Xie Fenghua looked back in style, and was about to walk outside the crowd to catch his breath, but saw Du Huaishao walking towards her and said, "You finally woke up." If you don't wake up, Dingyuan Hou won't be guaranteed. ”
Xie Fenghua was stunned and didn't react for a while.
Seeing this, Du Huaishao exclaimed: "Didn't anyone tell you that this so-called hunt was proposed by the eldest princess of Duanyang in the Northern Netherworld in order to get close to the Marquis of Dingyuan?" ”
Xie Fenghua did not speak.
She finally knew why she had to rush over, and Changying's expression was so strange.
Dare to love, is there another woman's factor here?
She pulled a piece of grass casually, put it in her mouth, and asked: "Ordinary vulgar powder, can the dignified Dingyuan Marquis look at it?" ”
There was a casual pride and confidence in that tone.
This time it was Du Huaishao's turn to be stunned. However, he quickly reacted, shook his head and said, "It's me who is confused." There is only one person like you in the world. If the Marquis of Dingyuan doesn't know how to cherish it, it will be his loss. ”
Xie Fenghua just raised his eyebrows, not wanting to waste his lips and tongue on this, and instead asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"Isn't that at your command?" Du Huaishao arched his hand at her and teased.
"Don't talk to me about these things," Xie Fenghua raised his slap, his tone was a little dangerous, "Before, you asked me to knock on the door for you, but you didn't tell me what you really wanted." Even if I wanted to, it wouldn't have any direction. ”
Du Huaishao said: "Then it depends on where you are willing to help." ”
"Really?" Xie Fenghua looked at him for a moment and said with a smile, "You may not know, I'm a lazy person. Since you don't make it clear, then I will casually arrange you into the Five Cities Terracotta Division. As for getting ahead, you can do it yourself. ”
Du Huaishao glanced at her deeply, then took a step back, bowed, and said with great gratitude: "Then I will thank the young lady for her great kindness first." ”
Xie Fenghua helped him weakly, a little incredulous, "You actually asked for such a little bit?" ”
"Or else? Or do you have any misunderstanding about me and the Du family? Du Huaishao asked back.
He naturally knew that Xie Fenghua had his own ability, and he had such a strong backing as Dingyuan Hou, and he could help him do a lot of things with one sentence.
But the point is that he can't control these "skills".
If he comes out to mix, he will have to pay it back sooner or later, so he doesn't dare to ask for too much. Moreover, in terms of the crimes committed by the Du family, even if he can seek a high starting point, it may not be a good thing.
The higher he climbs, the heavier he falls, this is the truth that the whole Du family taught him.
Therefore, instead of worrying about those high positions that do not belong to you from the beginning, it is better to start from the bottom and have the authority that belongs to him step by step.
It's hard, but it's worth pursuing.
Xie Fenghua's eyes turned slyly, and he suddenly smiled: "Does Sun Hengbo know that you work so hard?" ”
Du Huaishao was stunned, then lowered his head, and fiddled with his sleeves a little helplessly. Just when Xie Fenghua couldn't hold back and wanted to ask, he suddenly said, "This has nothing to do with Miss Sun." I do it purely for myself. ”
Xie Fenghua sighed, looking like "You can make it up anyway, I know who it is for".
Du Huaishao was in a hurry, as if he wanted to convince himself, and hurriedly explained: "I mean really! I want power! That's all! ”
Like a hammer hammer in his heart, Xie Fenghua's face stiffened, and he said uncertainly: "You say, you want power?" ”
Du Huaishao's mind was blank for a moment, and with a pair of sharp and clear eyes, he quickly came back to his senses and explained: "I want power." But I'll fight for it myself. ”
"Will you grant me a request?" Xie Fenghua suddenly looked cold and asked.
Xu was infected by her deep appearance, Du Huaishao's heart tightened, and he subconsciously asked, "What requirements?" ”
"I want you to promise me that no matter what high position you go to in the future, you will not do anything harmful to others, especially the people." Xie Fenghua pursed his lips, and said with deep eyes, "I know that you have ambitions and means. Once I show you the way, you should get what you want in the near future. But, on that point, I hope you can promise me. ”
Du Huaishao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Young Lady Yuan, you can't help but think too much of me." Not to mention, I still have the embarrassment of the Du family on my body, and even in the Tianjing officialdom, there may not be a place for me. Are you too worried? ”
"So will you say yes or not?" Xie Fenghua didn't care about that, and insisted on asking.
Du Huaishao could only nod, "I promise you." ”
Xie Fenghua suddenly put his mind at ease, stood up straight and looked in the direction of the forest farm, and wondered, "When did this hunt start?" ”
Du Huaishao followed her line of sight, with a bit of playfulness in his eyes, "Half an hour ago." I also saw that the Marquis of Dingyuan and the eldest princess of Duanyang were walking in the same direction......"
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Fenghua had already grabbed a horse and rushed into the forest farm.
Since the autumn hunting accident in Yunzhou, she has become extremely sensitive to hunting. Riding a horse galloping through the woods, she tensed her nerves and scanned her eyes around, hoping to find Yuan Minzhou's figure in the next moment.
And Yuan Minzhou's original intention was to go into the forest for a turn, and then leave quietly. But he didn't expect that Tomorrow Xiang would always be by his side, so he couldn't find a chance to get out.
After walking a distance, Tomorrow Xiang's guards had been dismissed back, and only the two of them were left in the huge forest. Yuan Minzhou looked around, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Why doesn't the eldest princess go hunting?" Isn't it boring to follow Ben Hou like this? ”
"How can it be boring? Bengong felt that following Hou Ye was much more interesting than hunting. Tomorrow Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly, and her flamboyant eyebrows carried the arrogant arrogance unique to royal nobles.
Yuan Minzhou couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously moved farther away from her, "Eldest princess, please be cautious." ”
Tomorrow Xiang suddenly laughed, "Master Hou, why are you so nervous? Now it's just the two of us, why don't you talk about a deal? ”
"Ben Hou doesn't think that there is anything to talk about with the eldest princess." Yuan Minzhou turned the horse's head and was about to leave.
But he didn't want to, Tomorrow Xiang suddenly shouted: "Dingyuan Hou!" How about being a colt of Hongu? Compared with Miss Xie Er, who can only dance swords and swords, there are more people in this palace...... Ah......h
Before she could finish speaking, she screamed. But seeing the arrow rain coming from all directions, Yuan Minzhou was shocked, and hurriedly jumped up, pushing tomorrow incense out of the range of the arrow rain.
At this time, another arrow was shot towards Tomorrow Xiang, and the tip of the arrow glowed with a faint blue light, which was obviously quenched poison. She seemed to be frightened, and forgot to dodge, watching the tip of the arrow enlarge in her pupils, she screamed on the spot, "Dingyuan Hou, save this palace!" ”
"Save you ghost!" A roar came from a distance, followed by a flash of figure, stretched out his long legs, and kicked Tomorrow Xiang to his stomach. As soon as the cold light appeared, a soft sword snapped down the arrow that shot at Yuan Minzhou.
Xie Fenghua picked up another arrow and threw it at the tree in the upper left, but when she heard a scream, a man in black fell from the tree, and she flew away, only to find that she was no longer breathing.
Actually, the moment she was knocked down, someone killed her?
Yuan Minzhou walked up to her, pulled her shoulder, looked up and down, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're fine......"
Xie Fenghua didn't speak, but his eyes looked behind him, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly explained, "I am not as ...... as you think with Princess Zhan"
"I'm sure your vision isn't that bad." Xie Fenghua patted his arm comfortingly, and when he saw that he looked nervous, he also grinned, and then walked towards tomorrow.
Tomorrow Xiang had already come back to her senses, and when she saw the tall woman walking towards her, she couldn't help but squint, and after looking at it quickly, she recognized the identity of the other party.
"Is this how the eldest princess of Duanyang covets other people's husbands?" The corners of Xie Fenghua's lips hooked, and his words were not shocking.
Tomorrow Xiang almost choked on her own saliva, pointed at her, and said hesitantly: "You...... How dare you...... Do you want to be shameless? ”
"Coincidentally, I also want to ask, is the eldest prince shameless?" Xie Fenghua fearlessly met the pair of fire-breathing eyes, stepped on the stone next to him with one foot, held the sword in one hand, supported his knees with the other, and said in a cool tone, "As far as I know, this is the hunt proposed by the eldest princess, right?" Why did the eldest princess remove her bodyguards, and something happened by chance? ”
Tomorrow Xiang immediately narrowed his eyes and said angrily: "Are you suspicious of this palace? ”
"Shouldn't the eldest princess be suspicious?" Xie Fenghua couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, she usually deliberately restrained the breath on her body. At this moment, he suddenly stopped hiding it, and this week, the power of his body was immediately revealed, and there was a flamboyant air between his eyebrows.
If it is said that Tianxiang's publicity comes from the royal nobility that she has been immersed in for many years, then Xie Fenghua's publicity comes more from the accumulation of time and experience, revealing a sharp chill, and between the eyes, the edge is hidden.
Just when the two were facing each other, Yuan Minzhou had already led someone to look around, threw the body of the man in black at the feet of the two, grabbed a broken arrow, and said coldly: "This person is from the Northern Underworld." These arrows were used by the Northern Underworld Imperial Forbidden Army. ”
Tomorrow Xiang's body shook violently, and in an instant, the blood on his face faded.
Xie Fenghua approached, bared his teeth, and said, "Eldest princess, should you give me an explanation now?" ”
