Chapter 70 "Suspicion Should Be Avoided"
Now she came and came to her future husband, but her husband did not want to accept the order and did not look up at her. She was puzzled, obviously they had been engaged and were a well-known unmarried couple, but why Zhuge Qinghong refused to even look at her.
The sun gradually rose, and in a blink of an eye, it rose to the top of Li Yu's head, and her mood was as restless as the scorching sun in the sky, and she didn't realize that her legs had become numb. In the past, she would never stand here and be ignored by others, but now she was willing, just waiting for a look from the young man kneeling in front of her, and she would be satisfied with just one look.
Finally, she saw Zhuge Qinghong's father, Zhuge Haochu, bowing his head and bowing to the ground and saying, "The grass people take the order."
Li Yu only saw her future father-in-law's gray hair flickering in the sun, but she couldn't see whether he was happy or sad on his face that was deeply bowed.
But her future husband's figure has never moved, like a sculpture, without sorrow or joy, without a trace of expression on her face. Even on his knees, his back was straight, as if nothing could overwhelm him. Even if she lowers her head, her future husband still has a domineering spirit that cannot be ignored.
The eunuch who announced the decree obviously didn't care about Zhuge Qinghong's attitude, and held the holy decree in front of Zhuge Haochu with both hands and said with a smile: "Now the county lord of Ningguo has the lord of the Lao Zhuge League and the county master to take care of him, and the county lord of Ningguo has the emperor's token in his hand, and he can mobilize the soldiers of any county at will, hoping that this time he can help Wulin to eliminate bandits." ”
Zhuge Haochu raised his head and took the holy decree with both hands and shouted: "My emperor has been going on for thousands of generations, and the grass people have received the decree to thank you." ”
The eunuch nodded with great satisfaction, helped Zhuge Haochu up, and said: "There has been a lot of delay here, and the old slave is going back to resume his life." ”
Zhuge Haochu bowed his hand and said, "Send it to my lord." ”
The eunuch returned the salute and turned to Li Yu and said: "County lord, the old slave's errand has been completed, and he is going back, the rivers and lakes are sinister and unpredictable, and I hope that the county lord will act cautiously in the future." ”
Li Yu grew up in the military camp since she was a child, and her temperament is different from that of her daughter's delicate and cowardly family, although she acts boldly and uninhibitedly on weekdays, she has never left her relatives. Now that she has left her relatives for the person she misses, she walked into this strange environment alone, no matter how bold she is, she can't help but have some relatives in her heart, and now she sees that this kind and pleasant eunuch is also leaving, her eyes can't help but be a little red and she replied: "The adults have worked hard, and they have been running around many times for the little girl's affairs, and the good little girl of the adults is remembered in my heart." ”
The eunuch sighed and said, "It is the duty of the old slave to solve the worries of the county lord. ”
After speaking, he instructed a man and a woman who followed Li Yu a few words, and then said goodbye to a few people and went down the mountain.
After the eunuch left, Zhuge Haochu helped Zhuge Qinghong up, and Zhuge Qinghong stood up and walked into his room without saying a word.
Li Yu's tears that he had endured for a long time finally fell when he saw his ruthless back leaving.
Zhuge Haochu panicked, and immediately walked up to her and said: "The county lord is angry, Yin'er is only seriously injured, and his body is a little unbearable, and he is afraid of the county lord, so he is in a hurry to rest." ”
Although Li Yu saw Zhuge Haochu for the second time, it was the first time he talked to him, and he quickly wiped away his tears and said: "Zhuge Alliance Master, the little girl has just never left home, and now she is a little homesick when she goes out alone, and it is not about the son." ”
The man and woman standing behind her were all indignant when they heard how proud their young lady was on weekdays and how humble she was today.
Zhuge Haochu sighed faintly and said: "Now Yin'er has not recovered from his serious injuries, and he still needs to recuperate in the Shuangshengmen for a few days, the Shuangshengmen is a place of cultivation, the old man plans to go to the inn at the foot of the mountain to wait for his injuries to heal before leaving, how about the county lord go to the bottom of the mountain with the old man." ”
Li Yu didn't speak yet, but she heard the maidservant girl behind her say loudly: "Presumptuous, the county lord Jin Zhi Yuye, how can he live in a mountain village and a wild shop like the rivers and lakes." ”
"When you say who is presumptuous, you are talking about who is reckless."
The maidservant's voice did not fall, but she only heard a young man's voice, and her voice was cold and not angry.
Zhixiang was taken by this sound, looked up in the direction where the sound came from, and saw Zhuge Qinghong, who had gone and returned, standing at the door with an angry face. Zhuge Qinghong didn't look up just now, and it wasn't until this time that Zhixiang understood why the young lady of her family's golden branches and jade leaves was so humble.
Zhixiang was stunned when she suddenly received a heavy slap on her cheek, she sat on the ground unsteadily, looked up and saw Li Yu looking at her murderously, she was shocked, she originally wanted to use Li Yu's majesty to give these people in the rivers and lakes who didn't know the number of manners a dismount, but didn't want to anger Li Yu and Zhuge Qinghong, suddenly frightened like earth, quickly got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "The county lord is angry, the slave and maid should die, it is the slave and the maid who do not choose to speak, it is the slave and the maid who have overstepped, and the slave and the maid should die." ”
"Since you know that you should die, then the lord of this county will fulfill you."
Li Yu looked at Zhixiang who was kowtowing on the ground again and again, and was even more angry, and pulled out the Huquan sword in his hand and stabbed at Zhixiang, the long blade was thin and sharp, and he was about to take Zhixiang's life.
Li Yu suddenly felt the afterimage in front of him, and the long sword in his hand came out of his hand, and he looked at it when he didn't know when Zhuge Qinghong had arrived in front of her, and he knocked the Huquan sword to the ground as soon as his sleeves were flipped.
Li Yu looked at the angry young man in front of her, and instantly felt that the world was silent, and the streamers were flying, and she was drowning in those peach blossom eyes little by little, and even the young man's merciless hurtful words became a natural sound in her ears.
"Since you are here to assist the martial arts to clear out the bandits, you must abide by the rules of the martial arts, the knights of the rivers and lakes never bully the weak and kill innocents indiscriminately, if you don't put away your style of the lady of the official family, please leave the martial arts and go back to your palace to continue to be powerful."
Zhuge Qinghong turned around and left after speaking, he could ignore anyone's ill intentions towards him, but he couldn't tolerate anyone's disrespectful words to Zhuge Haochu, although the maid was hateful, a slap was cheaper, but the crime was not to death.
He thought that Li Yu would definitely not be able to stand his cynical words and leave angrily, and he didn't want to hear Li Yu's timid voice coming from behind him as soon as he took two steps: "I remember, I won't be willful again." ”
Zhuge Qinghong paused, then strode into the room and never came out again, and even Zhuge Haochu did not come down the mountain to see him off.
Li Yu naturally followed Zhuge Haochu at the inn under the mountain and waited for Zhuge Qinghong's injury to heal.
The next day, Zhuge Qinghong got up early and waited for Xiao Xinyi to tie his hair, but he didn't want to wait for Hu Guyue.
Zhuge Qinghong asked Hu Guyue: "Why are you here today?" ”
Hu Guyue's face was a little embarrassed and said, "Senior sister said that she was going to retreat with Master recently, and I will take care of you in the future." ”
Zhuge Qinghong was silent when he heard this, and he spent a day uncontrollably. Until the middle of the moon, he could no longer hold back the lovesickness in his heart, and walked along the winding forest path in the direction of Xiao Xinyi's courtyard.
Tonight the moon is very round, and it shines as bright as day between heaven and earth. At the end of the path is Xiao Xinyi's courtyard, from a distance it looks like it is shrouded in a mist, Zhuge Qinghong is unstable, vaguely feels that the further he goes, the farther away from the small courtyard, in a hurry, he walked lightly, and in a blink of an eye he arrived outside the wall of the small courtyard, it turned out that all this was his illusion, and the small courtyard still stood quietly here without moving a minute.
Zhuge Qinghong lingered outside the wall for a long time, and he pushed the two closed doors, not moving at all. Then he turned around and was about to leave, but his feet refused to lift up. He stood outside the door in a daze, and after fighting for a long time, he seemed to lose his mind and turned over and arrived in Xiao Xinyi's courtyard, his body more flexible than the fish in the water and the birds in the sky.
As soon as Zhuge Qinghong's feet landed, a light suddenly lit up in Xiao Xinyi's room, and a slender figure was reflected on the window, swaying left and right with the swaying light, only to hear Xiao Xinyi say in the house: "I don't know what happened to Zhuge Gongzi's late night visit." ”
Zhuge Qinghong was overjoyed, it turned out that she was not as uncomfortable as him, and she couldn't sleep because of her thoughts?
Zhuge Qinghong walked a few steps to the door and said, "Xin'er, you open the door, I have something to say to you." ”
I heard Xiao Xinyi say in the room: "Master Zhuge Gongzi, you have crossed the border when you come here late at night, please say anything you want, and please leave quickly after speaking." ”
Although Zhuge Qinghong was a little lost in his heart, he thought about it, at least she still let him speak, and he still had a chance, so he leaned on the door and whispered: "Xin'er, you know that I was forced to marry her, and your life and death were unknown at that time, if I knew that you were still in the world at that time, even if I died, I would never accept the marriage decree, my heart, don't you understand?" ”
After Zhuge Qinghong finished speaking, he quietly listened to the movement in the house.
Xiao Xinyi was silent for a long time and asked, "Are you finished?" After saying that, the son can go, since you have made a marriage, whether it is voluntary or forced, she is now your wife who has not passed the door, a few days ago I was confused, and I forgot that the son is already a married man, and he should avoid suspicion in the future. ”
"Xin'er, are you deliberately angry with me, you open the door, let's make it clear in person." Zhuge Qinghong said a little weakly outside the door.
"There's nothing to say, it's been made very clear, there's nothing else to do, please go back." The lights in the room flickered for a while, as if he was reluctant to give up, but in the end it was extinguished, and Xiao Xinyi's room returned to darkness.
Zhuge Qinghong stepped back and walked to the window and said word by word: "However, I am also an ordinary person, and I also want to spend my life with the person I like." ”
After saying this, he stood in front of the window, but the light and the figure he hoped to see were never lit on the window.
It's just that he can't see that the person he thinks about day and night is hiding under the brocade quilt at this time, and his face is full of tears.
She didn't want to spend her life with someone she loved.
She was grateful to the county lord of Ningguo in her heart, if it wasn't for that woman coming, she would almost forget her responsibilities, forget what she would face in the future, she would be enough to bear these alone, how could she dare to take Zhuge Qinghong to bear it together.
If you take one wrong step, you will never recover. Zhuge Qinghong is a young hero, and there is a bright future waiting for him in front of him. How dare she pull him with him and never recover.
