55. Alienation
The two of them were not as comfortable in this cave as before, at least the quilts, pots and bowls, and firewood were gone, and it was very windy here, and it was even more difficult at night.
Tang Xi hugged his shivering body from the cold, and infinitely remembered the warmth of the bed when Huo Jinyan was asleep before.
Huo Jinyan glanced at Tang Xi, who was shivering and shivering, a trace of entanglement appeared in his eyes, after a long time, he still moved to Tang Xi's side with his body half-slumped, he sat outside, so that the cold wind was blocked by him, and Tang Xi suddenly felt a lot less cold when he sat inside.
She opened her eyes to him in surprise, "Your Excellency......"
Huo Jinyan closed his eyes and said a faint "um", "If you are sick, I don't know how to save you with herbs." ”
Tang Xi pursed his lips, and then moved in, "Then you sit in and sit ...... again" said as he seemed a little embarrassed, and coughed softly, "At this time, adults should still be worried about the defense of men and women, right?" It's still more important to have a small life, don't worry, adult, I will never say anything about this matter, and I will never tarnish the innocence of adults! ”
"......" Huo Jinyan was a little speechless, but after her call, it would be too hypocritical for him not to listen to her, but while moving his body inside, Huo Jinyan remembered the two times when someone took advantage of him to "sleep" to drill into his bed, so speaking of which, the so-called "innocence" he probably didn't have it a long time ago, right?
The two got closer, and the heat emitted by each other made both of them feel a lot warmer, and after a while, Tang Xi fell asleep deeply.
Tang Xi slept heartlessly, but Huo Jinyan couldn't sleep a little, firstly, the wounds on his hands were still hot and painful, and secondly, the wind was indeed too cold.
He looked out from the mouth of the cave and saw a bright moon in the sky, half-hidden in the clouds and mist of this valley, revealing a hazy beauty.
Such a moonlight, he looked at it and thought of Feng Xi again.
At that time, he was not the prime minister, and he was going to go to the Daqian Dynasty to discuss his annual tribute to the Fengyuan Dynasty because of a gambling agreement with Feng Xi in the court, Feng Xi was decisive in the court, but the night before he left, Feng Xi appeared in his mansion.
The moonlight that day was the same as today, with a hazy mist, and she appeared in his courtyard in moon-white men's clothes, bright as a fairy against the moonlight.
She looked at her gaze as if she had a trace of guilt, but she hid it very deeply, and only looked like she wanted the whole world to know that she was a bad person, and said to him contemptuously and disdainfully, "This trip is dangerous, if you can't complete the task, you must save your life, and then come back and beg me, I may be in a good mood and can save your life." ”
The Daqian Dynasty originally came from the death of the first emperor and had a faint antipathy, and this time it was to negotiate the increase in tribute, and it was not impossible for the emperor of Daqian to be directly beheaded in the future.
However, this time, Feng Xi was obviously a little uneasy to ask for it, but she was awkward and arrogant, so that people couldn't get her kindness at all.
Huo Jinyan looked at her like this, as if she was looking at an awkward child, which was really cute and made people want to laugh.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will definitely complete the entrustment."
Feng Xi snorted coldly, "I hope." ”
After speaking, she didn't seem to have anything else to say, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and at this moment she faintly regretted that she ran here with a twitch of her head, especially looking at Huo Jinyan's smiling appearance, she always felt that she was laughing at herself, so she waved her sleeves a little annoyed, "I went back." ”
"Your Majesty will be slower when you go back over the wall." Behind her, Huo Jinyan comforted her in a slow tone.
Feng Xi stumbled and almost fell, and then grinded his teeth and burned his fart. She walked out in general, but when she walked to the root of the wall, she stopped, and she didn't know if she didn't have to face him so she took off her disguise or felt that the topic was too heavy so she couldn't pretend, in short, her voice sounded a little low, no longer the deliberately high-minded look of the past, "Huo Jinyan, you give me back alive." ”
His heart suddenly seemed to have been grabbed by someone, itchy, and a little painful, until the person had been taken over the wall by the shadow guard and disappeared, he solemnly saluted in that direction, "Weichen, you will definitely live up to your trust." ”
That mission was really difficult, and he survived several times on the edge of life and death, probably relying on Feng Xi's words, this was her request, how dare he not obey?
At this moment, in the face of such a difficult predicament, Huo Jinyan once again remembered Feng Xi's words.
"Huo Jinyan, you give me back alive."
He pursed his lips and whispered, "Come back alive...... I will. ”
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt that his shoulders sank, Huo Jinyan turned his head in a little stunned, and saw Tang Xi planted on his shoulder, and he was sleeping very fragrantly at this time.
Looking at her carefree appearance, the corners of Huo Jinyan's mouth unconsciously became a little smiling, remembering Shadow Yi's report that she was sleeping very poorly, but he didn't see it at all at this time.
He still remembered that Feng Xi's sleep was also very poor, she was just too thoughtful, if she could be as heartless as Tang Xi, maybe she wouldn't have made her short life like that.
Still distracted, suddenly heard Tang Xi frowning and his tone was a little flustered, "My lord......" As he spoke, a pair of hands with nowhere to put them unconsciously climbed up to his arm, and then he seemed to have a sense of security, his brows were stretched little by little, and then he hugged his arm and fell asleep again.
However, Huo Jinyan was a little frozen, and the arm she was holding felt even more numb, and she didn't dare to move, and at the same time, her head rumbled, and she seemed to have figured out something at once......
He watched Tang Xi's gaze slowly become complicated, because of her special identity, he had indeed taken a lot of care of her, and now...... Isn't it because of these misunderstandings that she shouldn't have for him?
But it is impossible for him to love other women in his life, let alone Fengxi's sister? This is ridiculous!
Huo Jinyan's eyes gradually formed a layer of ice, and then he pursed his lips, although his movements were quite gentle, but there was a slight sense of determination, and he pulled out the hand that Tang Xi was holding in his arms, and then the whole person moved out, keeping a distance from her.
Tang Xi in his sleep seemed to be aware of it, his brows furrowed dissatisfiedly, and then he seemed to feel cold, and he curled up alone, looking at a pitiful feeling.
However, Huo Jinyan looked at it coldly beside him, but he was not moved in the slightest, if she really had any thoughts that she shouldn't have, then he would definitely cut off her thoughts with his own hands before she could get out of control!
Tang Xi was awakened by freezing in the morning, she rubbed her frozen red nose and glanced to the side, only to find that Huo Jinyan didn't know when he moved to the entrance of the cave alone, and saw that he had already woken up, and immediately said dissatisfied, "My lord, why did you sneak away so far?" Your illness hasn't healed yet, why are you doing this? ”
Huo Jinyan replied lightly, "In the end, there is a difference between men and women, and you can't just cross the precepts because of these external factors." ”
"......" Tang Xi looked at him a little speechlessly, what's wrong with this? With this heroic and righteous look, if he knew that he had drilled into his bed, he would not apologize for his crimes, right? Hmm, or let her kill herself?
She shook her head and drove away the messy thoughts in her mind, and then naturally leaned towards her, disdainfully, "Come on, come and let me see if the condition has recurred?" ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and wanted to touch his forehead, but he avoided it with his head tilted, and said coldly, "It's okay, I'm not uncomfortable." ”
Tang Xi's raised hand suddenly looked a little embarrassed, she retracted her hand in a curt, and then thought angrily in her heart, what kind of medicine did you take wrong? Suddenly so cold to her?
After that, Huo Jinyan told her with actions what it means that there is no coldest, only colder! The feelings they had cultivated through hardship and hardship seemed to dissipate in an instant, and Huo Jinyan treated her as indifferent now as she was at the beginning, as if the hardships and hardships of these days were all her imagination!
Tang Xi frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he cautiously tentatively said, "My lord? I...... Did I say anything in my sleep last night? ”
Huo Jinyan's body stiffened slightly, and then replied in a natural tone, "No." ”
Tang Xi touched his chin, Huo Jinyan seemed to have a hint of deliberate distancing when he spoke to her before, but the tone of the "no" just now was much more relaxed, obviously he was lying.
So Tang Xi was depressed again, what did he say in his dream? You shouldn't be scolding him in your dreams, are you? Tsk, a big man is so stingy? So how should she coax him?
Before she could think of a countermeasure, Huo Jinyan spoke, "Come here, we're leaving." ”
"Huh?" Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say you were going to take a break for a day or two yesterday?" It's just going to be the end of the night, and the wound isn't so fast, right? Or do you want to raise it again? ”
Huo Jinyan shook his head, "Let's go." If Tang Xi really had any thoughts about him, then it was undoubtedly dangerous for her for the two of them to be alone like this, so he decided to leave immediately after thinking about it for a while.
Tang Xi saw that he insisted, so he could only agree, but after walking next to him, he felt a little embarrassed, he obviously didn't want her to touch it at this time, what posture would he use to take her away at that moment?
At the same time, Huo Jinyan also realized this problem, he frowned slightly, and finally seemed to sigh slightly, and then without waiting for Tang Xi's reaction, he directly grabbed her waist with one hand and began to climb down the rattan.
Tang Xi was very obedient to make a humanoid pendant, although she knew that Huo Jinyan's hand was injured, but she was really more than capable of it, just her little arm, one accidentally didn't catch it and fell, but no one saved her.
Because of Tang Xi, who was in the way, the speed of the two of them was a little slow, and it was not until the afternoon that they finally fell to the ground.
As soon as he landed, the first thing Tang Xi did was to break Huo Jinyan's hand and check his wound, Huo Jinyan struggled a little resistantly, but the wound was too deep, and the wound was very painful when he struggled, plus Tang Xi was also very resolute and did not let go, Huo Jinyan finally compromised.
Tang Xi looked at the wound on his hand and felt very distressed, these slender and white hands should obviously be used to write and draw or dance the sword and touch the qin, but at this time, the injury has become like this, and he is not in the condition to treat it well, and I don't know if it will fall into the root of the disease in the future?
"Wait a minute, sir, I'll go find out if there are any herbs to stop the bleeding." Tang Xi said sullenly, then turned around and ran away.
Huo Jinyan pursed his lips but followed directly, "The other party should be searching nearby, let's go together." After a pause, he added, "My hands are fine." ”
Tang Xi's heart was a little sour when she heard this, she was hurt like this and came to comfort her, an unscathed person, what a big fool!
The two walked not far before Tang Xi saw a herb to stop bleeding, hurriedly picked it off, and then directly picked up the stone and smashed it and applied it to his hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after wrapping it tightly, "Be careful not to touch the water." ”
Huo Jinyan responded lightly, and then walked with her one after the other.
Looking at his obviously distant attitude, Tang Xi was a little sad, but after thinking about it, he planned to leave anyway, so why should he care about his attitude?
So she didn't think about changing anything anymore, and the atmosphere between the two seemed quieter.
Huo Jinyan took her out of the valley overnight, and walked a long way to the east before the sky was about to light up, both of them were tired, and at this time they were happy to find a small village, there were about five or six families in the village, but it was a paradise for the two of them who were tired and hungry!
They knocked on the door of a house, and then said that they had encountered mountain bandits on the way, and the old couple of the host's family left them behind without the slightest suspicion.
At noon, I had a full meal, although the staple food was sweet potatoes, but it was to fill my stomach, Tang Xi was very satisfied, and after helping the old man wash the dishes, he came to Huo Jinyan and asked in a low voice, "What should we do next?" ”
"Wait." He spat out two words lightly and didn't speak again.
Tang Xi touched his nose and simply didn't look for his unhappiness again.
Compared to being alone in the deep mountains, Huo Jinyan felt that this situation seemed to be better, so he planned to wait here directly, anyway, Wei Xianhe should have already taken care of himself at this time, and he didn't have so much energy to trouble them.
The two stayed in the village for another five days, and then Huo Jinyan gave the master's family some broken silver and took Tang Xi away, Tang Xi estimated that Wei Xianhe had already fled.
Sure enough, after the two came to the nearest town, they heard the news that the general Wei Xianhe had taken refuge in Beiyang, and the mountain city was a little chaotic for a while.
Tang Xi looked at the leisurely Huo Jinyan, and couldn't help but be curious, "My lord, what are you doing?" ”
Probably because of his own chess, so Huo Jinyan was in a good mood, no longer as indifferent as recently, this time he actually answered her kindly, "It's just that people have revealed some fake news to Beiyang, you said that if Beiyang thinks that Wei Xianhe is a double agent, this time it is to infiltrate Beiyang to obtain important information for the Fengyuan Dynasty, how will Beiyang treat her?" ”
Seeing Huo Jinyan hooking the corners of his lips and looking in a good mood, Tang Xi couldn't help but shrink his neck, tsk, they all say that it is the most poisonous woman's heart, but this man is just as terrible when he is poisoned!
Poor Wei Xianhe thought that he would be relieved when he went to Beiyang, but he didn't know that he was jumping into the fire pit by himself!
The two stayed in the town for another two days, and the person who picked them up arrived, and the two did not stay any longer, and immediately returned to the capital.
As soon as he crossed the Wutuo River, Tang Xi looked for Huo Jinyan with a shy face, "My lord, do you remember promising me one thing?" ”
Huo Jinyan's eyes moved slightly, "Remember." ”
She said that she had made a meritorious service on the ship at that time, and that he had promised her a reward, and that she had not thought of what she wanted at the time, so he said when she had thought about it and when to find him, and now that she had heard her say this, it was certain that she was sure.
"What do you want?"
"Hmm...... My lord, Tang Xi wants my lord to check the matter of Kun County, Qianzhou. Tang Xi bit his lip and still said it.
Huo Jinyan was obviously a little surprised when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure that as long as this matter is concerned?" ”
Tang Xi nodded, "Since Yan'er's grandfather is my sister's mentor, then the misfortune they suffered in Qianzhou should be repaid justice." ”
Huo Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the cup in his hand, "Is it just for Old Man Zheng?" Or is it for the people? Or is it for the sake of the country? ”
Tang Xi opened his mouth a little stunned, he didn't expect Huo Jinyan to ask like this, could it be that he knew something? Thinking about her, she clenched her sleeves a little nervously, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”
"Don't you think you're paying too much attention to this country?" He still frowned, making it impossible to see his expression.
There was a cold sweat on Tang Xi's head, but he was still carrying it, "Why can't I understand the words of adults?" Don't adults want to fulfill their promises? ”
Huo Jinyan looked up at her, "I'm very sober and won't confuse the two because they have many similarities." He stopped, and when he turned to leave, he said lightly, "I have already sent someone to investigate the matter of Qianzhou, and I should already have an eyebrow when I return to Beijing." ”
Tang Xi was dumbfounded, this is a waste of a condition for himself? Thinking that she couldn't help beating her chest with regret, she knew that she would have used it with some real money! You know, she's so poor right now!
After being annoyed, Tang Xi remembered Huo Jinyan's previous sentence in hindsight, what did he mean by saying this suddenly? Tang Xi frowned and thought for a while, and finally suddenly said, "He...... Don't you think I'm deliberately pretending to be a phoenix? ”
I have to say the truth about Tang Xi.
Since Huo Jinyan noticed Tang Xi's ulterior thoughts, he couldn't help but think a lot about some of her actions, but now she, a fire-burning girl with little culture, suddenly cares about national affairs, how can he not doubt it? As Feng Xi's younger sister, she wants to get close to herself by taking advantage of the similarity with Feng Xi, so how can Huo Jinyan not be angry?
After Tang Xi figured this out, he gradually figured out what Huo Jinyan's recent abnormality was, and he estimated that he had seen something, so he began to distance himself from her.
After figuring out the key, her mood couldn't help but feel a little low, she didn't expect that one day she would be labeled as a vain attempt to confuse the master, it's really ...... Feng Shui takes turns!
After that, Tang Xi was very interested and didn't go to Huo Jinyan again, and returned to the capital all the way safely.
As soon as he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tang Xi never saw Huo Jinyan's figure again, and listened to Yan Qing say that there were many things that needed to be dealt with during the time he was away from Beijing, and he cracked two major cases one after another on the way to the border, which can be described as very busy at this time.
Tang Xi pondered for a while, these two major cases probably refer to the corruption case in Qianzhou and the treason case of Wei Xianhe.
With Huo Jinyan, the people involved in these two cases will definitely not have any good fruits to eat, so Tang Xi naturally didn't have to worry about it, and then began to think about his departure from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
However, before she could plan what to do after that, a holy decree came from the palace to announce Tang Xi's visit.
Tang Xi's mood at this time was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and he finally thought that he was stable and ready to go freely, but at this time, his younger brother began to moth again?
She swallowed the dirty words that she was about to blurt out with difficulty, and then took out a piece of broken silver and stuffed it to the little father-in-law who announced the decree, "Father-in-law, do you know, what is the emperor looking for me?" ”
The little father-in-law took the silver and immediately smiled, "I listened a little on the side, it seems that the emperor heard that the girl had made a contribution in Wei Xianhe's case, so he asked the girl to go and ask questions." ”
Tang Xi stiffened his face and squeezed out a smile, "Then dare to ask how the emperor knows?" ”
"I know this, it was mentioned by the son of the Marquis of Anyuan, and the girl has to thank the little prince."
Hehe...... Tang Xi still maintained a stiff smile on his face, but in his heart, he scolded Lu Zheng with a bloody squirt! She knew that Huo Jinyan couldn't talk too much, but just this Lu Zheng, he would say anything stupidly!
She didn't believe that Feng Lie would announce that she was such a little servant girl into the palace because of her small merit, most of this move was something to be careful about, maybe it was annoying Huo Jinyan, so she was ready to start with herself!
You must know that Huo Jinyan left Beijing at that time, but he was squeezed away by Feng Lie, but as soon as he went out, he cracked two big cases and came back in style, this face is not too loud! Feng Lie's kid has always loved face, so he must be vomiting to death in his heart!
But obviously now Huo Jinyan is a great hero, if he is uncomfortable with him at this time, it will be purely discrediting himself, Feng Lie has always been smart, naturally he will not do such a stupid thing, so the people around Huo Jinyan will have to suffer on his behalf......
So Tang Xi took the opportunity to freshen up and ask Yan Qing, "My lord is in the palace at this time?" ”
Yan Qing shook his head, "My lord went to the Criminal Department today to personally interrogate the prisoners. ”
Tang Xi suddenly had an expression of resignation, and Yan Qing couldn't bear to see it, so he comforted, "It's okay, you can go with confidence, and then I will send someone to the Criminal Department to inform the adult." ”
"Okay, that's the only way, Yan Qing, my net worth and life are all on you, you have to move quickly!"
After that, Tang Xi followed the little father-in-law into the palace with a sad expression, alas, there must be pits everywhere this time, she is soft-spoken, I hope Huo Jinyan can come over in time to save the scene.
Even if Huo Jinyan wanted to alienate her, for Feng Xi's sake, he wouldn't have watched her be killed by him, so Huo Jinyan would definitely come to save her immediately if he got the news.
Thinking about it this way, Tang Xi's heart was a little better.
