Chapter Forty-Seven: Nie Shi, Long time no see
"Nie Shishi, long time no see, are you okay at the border?"
Nie Yuan received a letter that began like this, and when he saw the long-lost sentence "Nie Stone", his heart was about to jump out. Only Qiu Luoxue will call him that, which means that Qiu Luoxue is not dead. But the second sentence that followed turned Nie Yuan's mood from joy to sadness.
"I'm going to get married, and the emperor. By the time you receive this letter, the wedding date should have passed, but you can still bless me. ”
"You should be surprised to see this letter, surprised that I didn't die a year ago? A year ago, I faked my death as part of a plan to get rid of King Chen. At that time, you were far away at the border, and it was inconvenient for me to write a letter, which made you sad in vain. But you should forgive me, after all, you are my Nie Shi. ”
This letter is good news for Nie Yuan, but it is not good news. Qiu Luoxue was still alive, he was very happy, but he couldn't happily wish her a happy marriage.
The words "I'm going to get married" pierced Nie Yuan's heart deeply, although he had already decided to love Qiu Luoxue silently, he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard the news. It seems that he is still too greedy.
"But, I still don't know why you suddenly proposed to go to the border guard? We were very happy afterwards in the capital, why did we leave suddenly? Allure has also been asking this question, that girl may like you. ”
Nie Yuan walked along the desert on the border, the wind blew and lifted the sand on the ground, he was wrapped in the yellow sand, his figure was blurred, but he was still tall and strong. The armor on his body and the saber collided and made a sound, and he walked step by step for a long time.
"Regardless of why you left in the first place, it's time to go back to the capital now. The turmoil is getting tighter, and when King Chen rises up, Chu Yang will definitely attack the borders of Great Qin. Every time I think about this, I worry about your safety. ”
"I can't go back."
Nie Yuan walked to the depths of the desert, sat on the sand dunes, took out the wine jug and drank it one by one. He is now more and more inseparable from wine, and whenever his thoughts are turbulent, only wine can ease his nostalgia for the past.
Nie Yuan was drinking wine, when more than a dozen people suddenly rushed out of the desert, and when he fixed his eyes, they were all wearing Chu Yang's military uniforms. These people are menacing, and they have already been ambushed, and it seems that they are coming from Nie Yuan. They rushed towards Nie Yuan with iron locks in their hands.
On the other hand, Nie Yuan was calm and continued to drink. When Chu Yang's soldiers approached, a murderous aura slowly gathered in his eyes, and he flew up, dodging the chains they threw at him. After flying, he quickly drew his saber and began to fight back.
It just so happened that he was in a bad mood, but these people who didn't know whether to live or die were looking for trouble. What can those do? It can only be left to their death. Every move of Nie Yuan has a sharp taste, and he does not give in at all.
Chu Yang's soldiers have been trained for a period of time and can slightly confront Nie Yuan, plus they are numerous, it may take some time. The wind in the desert is already strong, and with their fierce moves, the yellow sand is lifted up, and it will even block the view.
Chu Yang's soldiers seemed to see this opportunity, and lifted the sand as they made a move, making it impossible for Nie Yuan to see clearly, so that they could take the opportunity to attack him. But Nie Yuan had already seen their plan clearly, and he would definitely not be able to compare with him. In that case, you don't need to use your eyes. He simply closed his eyes and listened with his ears to the enemy's position.
"In the past, it was you who showed up in time to defuse the danger for me. Wars are coming, and I want to protect you. Come back to the capital and continue to be your Shadow Guard Commander, at least there are people here who can help you. And, I haven't seen you for a year, and I miss you too. What about you? Don't want to see me? ”
Qiu Luoxue once wrote in her heart that she hoped that Nie Yuan could go back, and she didn't want him to be in a dangerous and difficult place.
"Yes, of course I want to see you. But...... I'm afraid I won't be able to control my mind. I don't want to hurt you, I can only hurt myself endlessly. ”
This was Nie Yuan's answer. Of course, he would only think about these words silently in his heart, and he never intended to mention them to Qiu Luoxue. He didn't want to cause any trouble to Qiu Luoxue.
"Now that you have married the emperor, let's live well. Don't worry about me, and don't think about me. I will guard the border well at the border and solve your worries. ”
Although his eyes were closed, Nie Yuan could still accurately find the enemy, he had just slashed a person's leg with a knife. In his memory, there were twelve of them, and now there were eleven left.
"Eleven"
"Ten"
“……”
"One"
Every time he solved an enemy, Nie Yuan would silently recite it in his heart, and he didn't open his eyes until the last one. As he expected, all the enemies fell, and the blood stained the sand, somewhat striking.
"You guys had bad luck today, just in time for me to be in a bad mood. So, you ...... All have to die. ”
Nie Yuan just knocked those people down, and the next thing he had to do was to deal with these people without leaving anything behind.
"Why are you in a bad mood?"
When Nie Yuan started to kill, Cai Ying appeared out of nowhere and cared about Nie Yuan.
"It's none of your business." Nie Yuan said and waved his knife to solve a Chu Yang soldier.
Cai Ying looked at his actions and didn't mind at all, after all, this was normal. On the battlefield, if you don't kill others, others will kill you. And Cai Ying himself has long been accustomed to this kind of blood, so he is used to it.
"We're friends, you should tell me if you're in a bad mood." Cai Ying said.
"You were hiding from the side to watch when I was attacked, and you were embarrassed to say that you were a friend." Nie Yuan said that he was just stating the facts, and there was no sarcasm or belittling.
"Haha, I knew you found me." Cai Ying said with a smile, "If you're not busy, it's because I believe in your strength, just these few little Luo Luo, it's not enough for you to stuff your teeth." ”
There was nothing wrong with what Cai Ying said, and Nie Yuan did not refute it, and after solving the last life of the Chuyang soldier, he left without any regret. Cai Ying also followed.
"Didn't you come here for a drink and walk only when you thought about the autumn snow? What, do you miss her again? Cai Ying asked after Nie Yuan.
"She's not dead." Nie Yuan said.
"What? Not dead? Really? Cai Ying asked in surprise, "If she hadn't died, the person in the capital who pretended to be her was ......."
"There is no one who is fake, that person is her." Nie Yuan said.
Knowing that Qiu Luoxue was still alive, Cai Ying was also very happy for some reason.
"Since she is still alive, what are you still doing here, hurry up and go back to pack your things and go to the capital to find her." Cai Ying suggested.
"It's no longer interesting." Nie Yuan replied as he walked.
Cai Ying suddenly remembered that Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo had become married. In that case...... He seemed to understand why Nie Yuan was in a bad mood today, his beloved woman married someone else, could he be in a good mood?
"Brother, don't be so negative, there is no grass at the end of the world." Cai Ying explained.
Nie Yuan just smiled and didn't answer. Yes, there are many women in the world, but he just likes the one who doesn't love him.
"She said, knowing that you are with me at the border gate, I asked you if you still want revenge, if you want revenge, you can go to the capital to find her, and she will invite you to drink." Nie Yuan said again.
Now Qiu Luoxue's news is very well-informed, and she no longer envy the news library of the shadow guard.
"You want to invite me, an enemy, to drink, this woman is so stupid when she becomes a queen." Cai Ying said.
He didn't mean to criticize Qiu Luoxue when he said this. I just think her mind is still too simple. Too easy to trust others.
It's just that Qiu Luoxue is the one who can break into King Chen's camp, and her mind is by no means as simple as before, which can be seen from the fact that she personally gave Yanliu poisonous wine.
"We can start to understand King Chen's forces, he has come in and is already planning a rebellion." Qiu Luoxue said to Xia Zimo.
Xia Zimo nodded and said, "It's time to clear it." But at present, he can't move his cronies in the army, and he has to start with the courtiers. ”
"That's what I thought, too. Lord Yan has already begun to look for evidence of Jiang Shilian's illegality, and I believe that there will be a result soon. Qiu Luoxue said.
She hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But if King Chen obstructs it, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, after all, Jiang Shilian is his right-hand man, and he will not give up easily."
Xia Zimo smiled and said: "There is only a collusion of interests between them, and when one party is useless, it will be abandoned." If the other party is useless and will affect themselves, they will take the initiative to break away from the alliance and even step on a few feet. ”
"Jiang Shilian is no longer useful to King Chen?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
"Soon it won't be there." Xia Zimo said that he had already calculated this plan.
The reason why King Chen used Jiang Shilian was to let Jiang Shilian encircle the ministers of the court and the central government for him, if there was a person with more prestige than Jiang Shilian now, then he would be ruthlessly abandoned.
"Lord, my father-in-law wrote to him that he missed Xian Chu very much and wanted to come to Beijing to see her, but he didn't dare to return to Beijing because of His Majesty's ban, and wanted to ask the prince if there was a way to arrange for him to meet with Xian Chu."
Xu Zhonghang talked about Mrs. Wu. It has been three years since he was demoted out of Beijing, Wu Xianchu is his only child, he hasn't seen him for three years, and he really misses it. In addition, Wu Xianchu was expelled from the palace and sent out of the house on his behalf. It is also reasonable for Mrs. Wu to want to see her.
"Master Taifu's affairs, this king will do his best." Chen Wang said that he had always wanted to win over Mrs. Wu, but he didn't have a chance, and now this breakthrough is really good.
"In this way, AVIC will thank the prince first." Xu Zhonghang made a way.
King Chen waved his hand and said, "Eh, thank you, Lord Taifu's business is the king's business, no need to thank you." If he still needs anything, tell the king, and you don't have to be polite. ”
King Chen now wants to win the hearts of the people as much as possible, no one can do this easier than Taifu Wu, he is a veteran of the three dynasties, he has a high prestige in the court, and there are a group of disciples under him, which can just be used by King Chen. But sometimes, if you are too anxious, you will also suffer.
