Chapter 142: Incident
This night is a sleepless night for many people, Meng Xiaoran actually lost sleep, she lay on the bed tossing and turning, her mind was chaotic, thinking of going back, seeing so many people she missed, her mood was suddenly excited, and she finally didn't know when she fell asleep.
In the early morning of the second day, the bamboo forest, which had always been quiet, was lively, and the sound outside woke Meng Xiaoran, she felt that her head hurt a little, and she didn't seem to have slept for long, at this time Zidai also knocked on the door outside, "Girl, are you awake?" Then I'm in. ”
"Well, come in." After the words fell, Zidai pushed the door and came in, and after Meng Xiaoran freshened up, he asked, "Why is it so lively so early, isn't there still an hour to leave?"
Zidai smiled slightly, "The girl doesn't know, people here rarely leave here, and even some people have never left, so they are very excited, and they started to pack their bags early in the morning, and everyone's luggage and belongings are loaded into the car. ”
Meng Xiaoran nodded, expressing understanding, she has only been here for three months, and now she is a little excited, let alone them?
After breakfast, Meng Xiaoran took the sword, carried a small burden and walked towards Dongfang Shuo, and the two made an appointment to meet him there.
A few carriages were parked in front of Dongfang Shuo's courtyard, and there were people who kept moving things out of the courtyard, and the carriages were full.
Meng Xiaoran walked in, and everyone shouted when they saw her, "Miss Meng." ”
She nodded, walked towards Dongfang Shuo's study, and saw that he was still sorting out the books inside, so she smiled and said, "Haven't cleaned it up yet?" You've got a lot of books in your study. ”
Dongfang Shuo smiled, "It's almost good, there is only one last point left." With that, he quickened his pace, boxed the last bit of the book, and then sealed it and let it out.
He walked up to Meng Xiaoran, took her hand and said, "Ran'er, this time I will ride back on horseback first, and you can take the carriage with the convoy."
"The carriage is too slow, isn't it? How long will that take? Meng Xiaoran was a little reluctant.
Dongfang Shuo smiled, "After all, you are your daughter's family, it is too hard to ride a horse, you should be obedient and take the carriage, and you will be able to arrive in half a month." ”
Meng Xiaoran nodded, "Okay then, I happen to be with Doctor Lin as well." Seeing that she agreed, Dongfang Shuo raised his hand and touched her hair, "Then I'll go first, you have to take care of yourself along the way, and we'll see you when we get to Yujing City." ”
"Well, don't worry, you should be careful on the road and take care of your body."
The two are about to separate, Meng Xiaoran is still a little reluctant in her heart, even though she has a lot of uncertainty about this relationship in her heart, her feelings for Dongfang Shuo cannot be changed.
After everything was packed, someone came in and reported, "Master, all the bags have been loaded." ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded, "Okay, then I will order to go down and let everyone gather in the bamboo forest." ”
"Yes!"
Dongfang Shuo looked at Meng Xiaoran and said, "Ran'er, let's go, let's go over there together." ”
The two walked to the bamboo forest, there were already many people gathered there, Meng Xiaoran has lived here for so long, but she never knew how many people live here, until today she can be regarded as having seen it, and then look at the rows of neatly arranged carriages, it is very spectacular.
Dongfang Shuo let go of her hand and walked to the middle, and said to everyone: "Brothers, you have followed me for so many years, born and died together, today we finally don't have to hide and hide anymore, I, Dongfang Shuo, promise here, if you can succeed in the future, you will definitely not treat each of you badly." ”
The forest was very quiet, only the voice of Dongfang Shuo echoed, sonorous and inspiring, and everyone fell to their knees after hearing it, shouting: "Long live the master!" ”
Meng Xiaoran was the first time to see such a spectacular scene with her own eyes, she finally understood a little why so many people wanted to sit on the throne, it turned out that it felt so good to stand here and be worshiped by everyone and shout "Long live", she was happy for Dongfang Shuo, and hoped that he could realize his dream of recovering the country.
At the same time, she was a little lost, thinking of the future of the two, she felt a sense of melancholy in her heart.
"It's you!"
At this time, a shrill female voice came, which was particularly harsh, everyone looked up and found that it was the woman Ye Chunqiu brought back, Chen Yingyue sneered and looked at Dongfang Shuo, today he did not have a mask, revealing his true face, she naturally recognized him as "Lu Ziqing" who lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning.
"Aren't you Lu Ziqing, the son of the Admiral of the Nine Gates? How did you become the master here? Chen Yingyue's hair was messy, her face was pale, and there was a trace of unusual fierceness on her face.
Meng Xiaoran sensed that something was wrong with her, and was a little worried in her heart, while Dongfang Shuo didn't look at her, but just looked at Ye Chunqiu who was standing aside, Ye Chunqiu's face turned red, his face was very embarrassed, and he looked at Chen Yingyue with murderous intent.
"What are you messing around here? Why don't you go back soon? ”
Chen Yingyue looked at her and suddenly laughed, "Go back?" And then get y'all out of here? It turns out that you are all in a group, and you came to lie to me in the first place, right? No wonder you asked me to take care of her at that time, she was also the meticulous work you sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, right? ”
She looked at Meng Xiaoran when she spoke, obviously she was also talking about her, Meng Xiaoran was shocked, Ye Chunqiu also asked Chen Yingyue to take care of herself? Why?
After thinking about it carefully, she understood, it seems that her original guess was right, he had already discovered himself in the back mountain of Fahua Temple, but he deliberately let himself discover his secret, it seems that they used themselves to deal with the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion and guessed correctly.
Meng Xiaoran felt uncomfortable for a while, she had already persuaded herself to forgive Dongfang Shuo's deception and use, but at this time, she was a little sad when Chen Yingyue mentioned it again.
Dongfang Shuo naturally noticed the change in her face, and was shocked, and when she looked at Chen Yingyue again, she had killing intent on her face, but where could Chen Yingyue manage those at this time, she was like a crazy demon, and she was a little speechless.
"You traitors, if you want to rebel, I won't let you succeed, you have destroyed the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now what are you going to do in Yujing City? Are you going to force the palace to seize the throne? ”
Dongfang Shuo's hands were clenched tightly, he looked at Chen Yingyue with cold eyes, and Ye Chunqiu naturally knew that Dongfang Shuo was angry at this time, he pulled out his sword and quickly stabbed Chen Yingyue's chest, she turned her head in disbelief, looked at Ye Chunqiu who was not far from her, and the tears in her eyes rolled down, "Ye ...... Spring and autumn, you ...... Hello...... Ruthless ......" After saying that, she spit out a mouthful of blood, Ye Chunqiu pulled out her sword, she fell to the ground, looked at him a little unwillingly, and finally gradually became weak and closed her eyes.
Meng Xiaoran was a little incredulous, she had been in Dashang Country for nearly two years, although she had gradually become accustomed to the impermanence of life and death here, but she still couldn't accept seeing a person who had just been alive being killed in front of her.
Dongfang Shuo noticed her strange appearance, and immediately walked to her side, hugged her into his arms, blocked her vision, so that she couldn't see the bloody scene, and then he glanced at Lanyue, Lanyue understood, and immediately asked people to carry Chen Yingyue's body down, and quickly cleaned up the scene, and everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
Until sitting in the carriage, Meng Xiaoran was still in a trance, her values were most directly impacted, the place where she lived since she was a child was a modern society with a sound legal system, where not to mention killing, even beating people is illegal, and may be punished by law.
When she first went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she felt an impact, and learned that the maid in the mansion would be buried silently when she died, but at that time, she just listened to Xiaocui and didn't see it with her own eyes, today is different, she saw Ye Chunqiu pierce Chen Yingyue's body with a sword, and a living life is gone, like a mustard.
Doctor Lin sat in the carriage with her, knowing that she was uncomfortable, he didn't bother her silently, but it had been half a day, and she was still like this, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Girl, hey, I know you're uncomfortable, I'm a medical practitioner, I've always only saved lives and helped the wounded, and I feel uncomfortable when I see people die in front of me, but this is the way of the world, if you're weak, you're destined to be bullied, this is something you and I can't change, I know you're kind-hearted, you can't stand such a thing, but don't think too much, your body is the most important." Doctor Lin persuaded her earnestly.
Meng Xiaoran thought about it for a long time, but in fact, her heart was not as uncomfortable as in the morning, she sighed and said: "Doctor Lin, I didn't expect them to be so cruel, although the Chen family is not a good person, but it will not want her to die, imprison her in that bamboo forest, she will never be able to get out, who else can she tell about those things?" Why did Ye Chunqiu kill her, human life was just like grass mustard in their eyes. ”
Doctor Lin also sighed, "Yes, I have saved people in my life, but I will never be able to save them, because there are too many people who kill people." ”
Meng Xiaoran smiled bitterly, looked at him and said, "Doctor Lin, you and your eldest brother are both good people, and good people will definitely have good rewards." The two of them glanced at each other, and both smiled a little bitterly, lamenting the impermanence of life.
The carriage was very slow, and it took three or four days to leave the territory of Yunzhou, Meng Xiaoran was a little anxious, and so was Doctor Lin, both of them couldn't wait.
"Doctor Lin, otherwise let's abandon the carriage and ride back, if you ride a horse, you can get there in about five or six days, let's ride slowly, and we won't be too tired." Meng Xiaoran proposed.
Doctor Lin's eyes lit up, he had already had this intention, but he kept holding back because he thought that Meng Xiaoran was a girl, if he said that his martial arts were not weak, horseback riding was naturally not a problem.
The two hit it off, and when the carriage arrived in the next town to rest, Meng Xiaoran quietly got out of the carriage, went to the town to buy two horses, prepared some dry food, left a letter in the carriage, and the two rode away.
In the evening, when the convoy stopped to rest, the coachman found that the two people in the carriage were missing, and took the letter inside to find the guard who led the team, and the guard frowned after reading the letter, and hurriedly sent the letter to Yu Jingcheng.
