Forty-Seven: Mutation
In the days that followed, every minute and every second made Hege feel like he was in the clouds.
During the day, when the sun was shining, Ke took her hand and took her to visit the corners and corners of Fanjing Mountain, and patiently told her about the beautiful scenery and fun in every place. Although the wind in the mountains is cold, Ke's hands are incomparably warm. If it rains, Ke will open a seat under the eaves, make tea and enjoy the music, and she will know that Ke's attainments in piano art are also good. When the sun sets, Ke either draws patterns for her under the lamp, or concentrates on reading a book on the side. Let her lean against her side, hold him, and prepare to relieve her boredom in advance, and read the book with relish.
For Ke, this is also a peaceful life that he has never experienced. In the past, in the library, it seemed that every day was dull and boring, but it was carefully calculated and planned all the time. These hands copied down the scriptures of the past more than a hundred times. He would also be helpless and sad, and every time he reached such a moment, he found that there was no one to talk to, and this sense of isolation was what he feared most when he dreamed back at midnight for many years.
The girl next to her seemed to be sleeping a little deeply, her nose moving slightly, and she made a small snoring sound. Ke reached out and rubbed her messy forehead. Her side face is round and lovely, when she laughs, she seems to have two dimples, and her eyes are curved like a crescent moon. It's all because of the person in front of you. Ke put down the book in his hand and lay down on his side, and Hege's sleeping face was in front of him, calm and stable.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. I thought you were a talisman given to Qingfeng by God, but I didn't expect that the will of heaven would be like this. That's it, since it belongs to me, I won't give it to anyone else,
The days flowed rapidly on Fanjing Mountain, and nearly half a month passed in a flash. The two played around, and today they originally made an appointment to go on a cruise to Houhu, but they were picked up by Fu Zhe early in the morning.
"What!" Ke fiercely clenched the tea cup in his hand.
"Hui Gongzi, the decree was drawn up on the tenth day of the eighth month, but it was not publicized in the court." Before Fu Zhe's words were finished, he was snatched away.
"It was not made public until the date of implementation, and it was 10 days late." Ke Leng snorted. "What is the reason for Zhou Guang's knighthood this time?"
"It's because he has guarded Guangyu Mountain for many years, and he has suppressed countless bandits and thieves, so he gave him a knighthood." The last four words Fu Zhe said the lower his voice became, because Ke's face was already very gray.
"Is Mo Lan's title so lowly now? Suppressing bandits and thieves can actually be a reason. I really admire this trick! Zhou Guang was knighted, did he take the opportunity to weaken Chen Tuo's strength, or did he get some news that we planned to use Zhou Guang to assassinate him? Ke's eyes were sharp and cold, and his face was heavy.
"Lord Gu also has this consideration, so he has already cleaned up all the people sent in advance, and the prince can't get more clues based on this."
At the moment, although Gu Jingyan couldn't determine what Xuan's move meant, Ke felt that Xuan should have already known his news, so he had the current caravan. Then when the people of the Jin family come to the Central Plains, they should be able to meet soon. Although he had been looking forward to Xuan's arrival, he still made himself very unhappy to let him come prepared like this.
"Except for Northridge, what are the other marquises?"
"Prime Minister Luo Huaigu's Huayang County Government is now officially handed over to Luo Ping to take care of, and his power has grown by a state. As soon as the news of the marriage between the Jin family and the Central Plains came out, the momentum in Molan was even stronger than before. Yue Kang, the youngest son of the Binzhou Yue family, is now promoted to the left squire of the military department, and the Pingzhou Baili clan has always kept to themselves, and there has been no new movement. ”
The Locke family is known for their mercenary intentions, and among the heirs to the throne, it is better to be careful of being plotted by them. Now that Luo Huaigu has let go of the management of Huayang County Government, he must have received greater benefits from Xuan, and the Luo family should also fall to Xuan's side. The Jin family seems to have the protection of their in-laws, but they are the weakest of the marquises, and he must seek more support and protection. Yue Kang's promotion to the rank of official in the Inner Dynasty was probably a bit more important as a hostage.
From this point of view, what Xuan is going to do now is the Beiling Marquis Chen Tuo's family, the Beiling Marquis has a heavy army, and he has always been arrogant and domineering. Not to mention that he had several head-on conflicts with Xuan before.
The old king is seriously ill, and Xuan must choose an important minister at the beginning of his ascension to the throne to shake the dynasty with blood and stabilize the throne. At this juncture, he deliberately postponed the announcement of the decree, firstly, to catch Chen Tuo off guard, and secondly, he was afraid that he would disrupt his original arrangement and expose his feet. Killing two birds with one stone, I haven't seen him for many years, and this young brother's plan is even better than before.
Now, it has been less than half a month since the Jin family sent off relatives, and it is difficult to have a good layout if you re-plan. That's what he wants.
Ke frowned, bowed his head and said nothing. Fu Zhe and Soku, who were sitting in front of him, looked sideways at each other, and also lowered their heads and remained silent. There was silence in the room.
Gu Jingyan means that he wants to find another opportunity for himself, and it is important for Mingzhe to protect himself. But if this is the case, they will return to the big dye vat of the Song family and continue to fight openly and secretly. I'm really tired, and I'm even more ashamed. Thinking that the prince of a country was originally dignified, he actually had to be reduced to competing for power with the businessmen and being at the mercy of him, this breath is really unbearable!
I thought that this time Xuan came to find him in person in order to calmly ascend the throne, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as he was finished, he would be able to get back everything that belonged to him, and his mother and Qingfeng would be able to get rid of this day of endless suffering. So far, it has fallen short, but he has put it together. With a wave of his hands, he swept the tea stove, tea bowl, pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to the ground, and even the table was turned upside down.
Ke has always been calm and restrained, his mind has never been shown on his face, and he has never been angry to this point. Fu Zhe and Likong were shocked, but they didn't know what to do.
Tea dripped down the table legs and made a slight ticking sound. Impatiently, he kicked the low table to the ground. Put your hand against your forehead and lean to the side.
"Fu Zhe, call the seven samurai back and stay near the Fanjing Temple. All those who have been sent to contact Zhou Guang, whether they have direct contact or not, will be killed. When it's done, you tell me in person. ”
"Yes, Childe."
"It's empty, Qingfeng is the most important there, you know the proportion."
Sora nodded, sort of an answer.
"When Fuzhe comes back, you will work harder, and be a mage for the brothers."
"Yes."
Ke waved his hand, and the two of them quietly withdrew.
The sun was shining outside the window, and the reflection of the branches and leaves fell to the ground and swayed. The mess in the house is even more contrasting. Ke sat on the couch, his eyes silent.
Zhai Xuan, Zhai Xuan, I underestimated you in the past. I thought that after the death of your mother, you would lose your support, but you would just have no power. Now that there is no father to protect you, you are in a hurry to ascend the throne, and you will not think too much. I didn't expect you to have such a means.
This time, it will also be the last time. In the future, I will defeat you completely!
