Chapter 65: Tongshan Collapse
Tong Yuqing frowned and said, "He told you about this because he was open-minded and had no intention of me." It's also because of you that he cares about me, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that in his eyes, I'm not even an ally......" Tong Yuqing was annoyed, shook his head vigorously, and swept away the distractions in his heart, "It doesn't make sense for us to talk about this now, this matter can't be settled for a while, I should really rush back, my mother is still waiting for my news." ”
"Aunt Tong, what news are you waiting for?" I'm confused.
Tong Yuqing sighed while sitting up leisurely: "It's not your life's event? My mother and I want to know what you and the Overseers are thinking, and we want to help you in the middle. ”
Yiyou's crystal eyes flickered, like a bright light, and said happily: "Then ask Aunt Tong to help me persuade the Overseers, and the Overseers will definitely listen." ”
Tong Yuqing left in a hurry as if she had been pardoned. After a while, Yi Youyou realized that Tong Yuqing took the opportunity to avoid talking about her and Bai Qiaoxuan, but she could only be annoyed that she was stupid and let her go easily.
Yuqing, you are always working hard for other people's affairs, but have you really thought about your own affairs......
When He Yanjun walked into the Overseer's Mansion, the sky had been revealed, red and magnificent, like a song, and the Eaves Beast Kiss and the Ridge Treasure Top of the Overseer's Mansion were even more brilliant under the light of this Danxia.
As radiant as that sunset is He Yanjun, who has an extraordinary temperament, her every step reveals the strength of a mature woman, and her smile shows her outstanding demeanor.
Qiu Zeyuan heard the news that Mrs. Tong was visiting, so he hurriedly put down the official document in his hand and went out to greet him. The two took a seat in the living room after greeting each other.
"Sister-in-law, please have tea." Qiu Zeyuan said with a smile.
After He Yanjun tasted the fragrance of tea, he praised: "This Pu'er with chrysanthemum is indeed fresh and elegant, with a unique charm. ”
"If my sister-in-law likes it, I'll send someone to bring a few cakes to the house."
He Yanjun smiled and shook his head, "There is tea in the house, but the overseers forgot?" At the beginning of each month, you send someone to bring you the freshest tea. ”
Qiu Zeyuan smiled: "Oh...... yes, look at my memory, it's really useless......"
Qiu Zeyuan also drank a little tea soup and asked, "Hasn't Feng Yi left the mansion yet?" ”
He Yanjun didn't answer, a pair of apricot eyes looked at Qiu Zeyuan quietly, and only after a while did he speak: "How could Feng Yi's every move escape from your eyes?" I did not come today to speak to you about him. ”
Qiu Zeyuan's face did not change, his eyes moved slightly, and he only heard He Yanjun say: "Everyone is not an outsider, I will say it directly if I have something to say, if there is any offense, please bear with me." I want to ask you, are you really not going to marry Yoyo? ”
"I ......" Qiu Zeyuan didn't say anything for a long time, and He Yanjun said again: "I know that you are hesitant, so I will ask you again, which man will you hand over Youyou, can you really put your mind at ease?" Can you guarantee that he will treat Yoyo wholeheartedly for the rest of his life? ”
Qiu Zeyuan's eyes were surging even more, but He Yanjun didn't give him the slightest chance to think about it, "You have lost Dai Xun and failed Dai Wei, do you want Yoyo to repeat their mistakes?" Will the spirit of Dai Xun in the sky forgive you for abandoning her daughter? Moreover, Yoyo is not only Dai Yin's daughter, she is also a child brought up by Dai Yi herself, and her dedication to Yoyo is no less than my dedication to Yuqing, do you think Dai Yi will be grateful to you for being ashamed of her and staying away from Yoyo, or will she blame you for hurting Yoyo because of fear of people's words? ”
Qiu Zeyuan said sadly: "It's not that I haven't thought about what my sister-in-law said, and I am by no means a person who is afraid of what people say, I just feel that Yoyo and I are really wronged by her." And Feng Yi ......"
He Yanjun hurriedly said: "I have already told you about Feng Yi, and there is no dead knot between you that cannot be untied. He is now just immersed in the grief of Dai Wei's death, and he can't do enough to think and do. It takes 100 days for the wound to heal, not to mention the wound in the heart, you must always give him time to heal the wound, right? When he first learned about you and Yiyou, he locked himself in the house without dripping water or rice, and he wanted to die by himself, and he didn't know how many times he fainted. It was I who forced him to pour some rice soup when he was unconscious, so that he was able to save his life. But he will eat the food, tea and soup that has been brought to him these days. Isn't that a good sign? You really don't have to rush for a while, one day he will forgive you and bless you. ”
He Yanjun saw that Qiu Zeyuan's hand was getting tighter and tighter on the teak armchair, and he didn't say anything more, but before Qiu Zeyuan could make a decision, Steward Hu's voice came from outside the door.
Qiu Zeyuan and He Yanjun saw him rushing in in stride, and suddenly felt strange.
Steward Hu's voice trembled, "Overseer, there's news from the other garden, the young lady is missing......"
"What?!" He Yanjun was so shocked that he almost jumped.
Qiu Zeyuan tried his best to stabilize himself, and said to Steward Hu: "Don't panic first, explain the cause and effect carefully." ”
Half a moment ago, Ti'er called from the other garden, saying that after Miss Tong left this afternoon, Miss said that she wanted to take a nap, because Miss had to take a nap every day, so Ti'er didn't care. It wasn't until Miss Shen Zheng didn't get up that Ti'er noticed that something was wrong, and knocked on Miss Lee's door for a long time but no one answered, and finally she could only use the spare key to open the door, only to find that Miss was gone......
Qiu Zeyuan walked out while wearing a windbreaker, "Call the other garden immediately, no one is allowed to leave before I arrive, and the violators will be established in the Nine Clans!" ”
He Yanjun also stepped up his steps to follow Qiu Zeyuan and said, "I'll go with you." After speaking, he turned back and said, "Steward Hu, you tell Yuqing the news, so that she knows in her heart." ”
Qiu Zeyuan summoned Zheng Feng, who was on duty today, and ordered him to lead a team of personal soldiers to accompany him.
When the group rushed to the other garden, the sky was already dark, there was only a waning moon hidden behind the dark clouds in the night sky, the evening breeze was whimpering and cool, and the maids and family members kneeling in the courtyard were all trembling under the encirclement of the distant army.
Qiu Zeyuan carefully asked everyone about the room where Yiyou last appeared, and kept pacing.
He Yanjun said worriedly: "There are no traces of prying on the doors and windows, and they seem to be done by ghosts." But if it's the inner ghost who takes Yoyo away, it's impossible not to alarm anyone, and it's impossible for everyone in this courtyard to be an inner ghost......"
Qiu Zeyuan swept the white glaze with iris and the lotus pattern bottle with white glaze secretly engraved on the ground in anger, but He Yanjun suddenly turned around, with a surprise in his eyes.
Qiu Zeyuan also heard that the voice was wrong, and there were two sounds of "knock, knock" implied in the sound of a piece of porcelain shattering, how could such an empty sound appear in the room? The only explanation is that there is an unknown secret passage in the room. Thinking of this, Qiu Zeyuan and He Yanjun searched for the place where the debris fell, and sure enough, they found a mechanism in the hidden place behind the wardrobe.
Qiu Zeyuan was afraid of danger, so he asked He Yanjun to leave the room temporarily, and a few more personal soldiers were called, and a team of people searched down the cold and dark dark passage, but found that the road ahead had been blocked by rocks, and they could only return.
"Didn't find it?"
After Qiu Zeyuan walked out of the secret door, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, and he didn't know whether it was happy or sad for a while, so he only shouted: "Feng Yi ......"
Tong Fengyi Shi Ran walked in front of Qiu Zeyuan and said, "You go back to the house first, and I'll go find Yiyou." ”
Before Qiu Zeyuan could object, Tong Fengyi said again: "If you don't want me to hate you for the rest of your life, go back and guard our country." You should know that this is where the joy and sorrow of all of us originate. ”
Qiu Zeyuan was silent, and said after a while: "Feng Yi, I owe you a debt in this life, and I can only leave it for the next life to pay it off......"
Tong Fengyi didn't look at him anymore, and only said, "Leave Zheng Feng and the soldiers he brought to me, and let Bingzhi escort you back to your home." ”
He Yanjun, who was guarding the side, also said to Yan Bingzhi: "After you go back, you ask Yuqing and Yuhao to take care of the affairs of the financial secretary, and I will also go to find Yiyou." ”
Qiu Zeyuan looked at the endless green trees on both sides of the road, he had not yet struggled out of the panic and anger of Yiyou's disappearance and fell into the endless guilt and gratitude to Tong Fengyi, thinking about this half of his life carefully, it seems that he is deep and steady, Feng Yi is cynical, but in fact, the real temperament of the two is just the opposite, Feng Yi is the one who stands in front of him all the time and blocks the open guns and arrows for him. Whenever there is a big thing, Feng Yi has suffered on his behalf, and why has he suffered for Feng Yi? Not once......
Tong Yuqing was also worried after learning the news that her parents went to find Yiyou. She thought of the strange thought she had when she first learned of Yiyu's disappearance. She knew that she shouldn't, but she still sent the news to Bai Qiaoxuan by mistake. She didn't know what she was doing this for. She didn't know when she became so inexplicable? She didn't want to see the news that he cared about Yiyou, but she didn't want to see him ignore Yiyou's news completely...... Tong Yuqing was completely confused, and couldn't figure out what she was thinking......
However, the heavens did not give her much time to worry, and the succession of events in the Financial Secretary soon buried her in a mountain of official documents. And Bai Qiaoxuan's reaction was neither as anxious as Tong Yuqing imagined, nor as indifferent as she imagined, to be precise, he had been cooperating with everyone to find Yiyou.
The next few days were spent in anxiety and busyness, and Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Yuqing were worried when they faced the news that the search was fruitless again and again. They have used all the power they can use to turn over all the places above and below Pudong where they can hide people, and they are just three feet away from digging into the ground and turning the entire world of Pudong upside down.
In the midst of a series of invitations, excuses, shaking heads, and frustrations, the abrasive heat gradually invaded the tail whistle of spring, and Qiu Zeyuan became more and more moody in the darkness of hopelessness, and there were fewer and fewer porcelains in the house. Steward Hu spends his days cleaning up the debris in the palace, but he is also glad that the servants in the palace have been dismissed a few days ago and have been spared from suffering, unlike the people in the Overseer's Bureau, who are inevitably angry with the Overseers.
But who said that after darkness there will be a dawn? There is also a long, long, long-lasting darkness followed by a dead darkness of despair. Everyone hasn't found Yiyou yet, and Tong Fengyi and He Yanjun, who are looking for Yiyou, are gone.
When Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Yuqing saw Zheng Feng covered in blood, the wind was raging, the Tianhe River burst the embankment, and the dense raindrops the size of soybeans were extremely shocking when they smashed on people, and Tong Yuqing only saw Zheng Feng's mouth open in the rumbling thunder, but she couldn't listen to what he was saying, she only knew that her parents were in danger now, and those people could kill them at any time!
Qiu Zeyuan hurriedly pulled back Tong Yuqing, who rushed into the pouring rain regardless of it, and said loudly: "I can't let you and Yu Hao have an accident anymore, you go with me to your house to pick up Yu Hao first." The Overseer's Mansion is always more heavily guarded than the Children's Mansion, so it is not a problem to keep your siblings safe. I'm going to your parents, and you take care of yourself and your brother. ”
Tong Yuqing's reason that was scattered by panic was retracted a little, nodded vigorously, and ran out of the house with Qiu Zeyuan under the green umbrella that was not enough to withstand the storm......
The torrential rain raged all night and did not stop, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night at this time, but Tong Yuqing and Tong Yuhao sat in the main hall of the main building without a trace of sleep.
"Yuqing!" After Bai Qiaoxuan got the news of Tong Fengyi and his wife's disappearance, he hurriedly rushed to the Overseer's Mansion to visit Tong Yuqing.
Tong Yuqing saw Bai Qiaoxuan, who was thinly dressed, and knew that he rushed over after learning the news in a hurry, and the heart in her throat had just dropped two points and hung up, she rushed to Bai Qiaoxuan, tears rolled in her eyes, and said incoherently: "My parents, they, Qiao Xuan, they ......"
"I know it all, don't worry. My uncle and aunt were all bold men, and the Overseers would find them as long as they were in Pudong. Bai Qiaoxuan held Tong Yuqing's hand and said firmly.
"But what if they're no longer in Pudong? What the hell are those people trying to do? First Yiyou, then my parents, I'm so scared...... I'm so afraid that something will happen to them......" Tong Yuqing was still teary-eyed.
"Don't be afraid, I have sent someone to contact my father at home and ask him to send someone from the Bai family out to look for it, we will always find it, you believe me." Bai Qiaoxuan hugged Tong Yuqing's fragrant shoulder, looked at her teary eyes and said word by word.
Yao Yao, who was standing beside Tong Yuqing, suddenly trembled in her heart, why was she so uncomfortable when she saw Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes looking at Miss......
"Yes, Sister Yuqing, don't worry too much, there is nothing in this world that my brother said he could do but couldn't do." Bai Jiayin, who came with Bai Qiaoxuan, said.
Bai Qiaoxuan pushed his sister to Tong Yuqing's side and said, "I brought Ayin here to ask you to help me take care of her first, and I will also go out to help you find someone." ”
Tong Yuqing knew that Bai Qiaoxuan was worried that she would not be able to bear the patience to go out to find someone and be in danger, so she handed Bai Jiayin over to her to take care of her and let her stay in the mansion. But he was worried about her safety, so why wasn't she worried about him?
"You don't ......" Tong Yuqing just grabbed Bai Qiaoxuan's sleeve and wanted to tell him not to go, but he was really worried about the safety of his parents, so he could only let him go farther and farther until he disappeared from his sight......
"Miss." Yao Yao suddenly knelt in front of Tong Yuqing, Tong Yuqing already knew what she wanted to say, and nodded helplessly, "Go ahead, protect him, and protect yourself." ”
Tong Yuqing watched Yao Yao fly out like a bird escaping from the cage, and suddenly envied her, she could follow her beloved to the ends of the earth without scruples, but she couldn't, she had to stay here, guard her younger brothers and sisters, guard Tong's foundation, and let her parents see an intact home when they returned......
Tick, tick, tick, tick......
Tong Fengyi felt that he was caught in the boundless and endless, endless chaos, countless familiar and unfamiliar faces overlapped, Dai Huai, Mother, Yu Qing, Yu Hao, Father, Yan Jun, Ze Yuan, Dai Xun...... It was as if all the people he had seen in this life were in front of his eyes, and each of them was far away from him...... Where am I...... Is that the sound of dripping water......
"Awake?" A deep voice completely freed Tong Fengyi from the chaos.
"Is that you?" Tong Fengyi recognized this voice and wanted to rush forward, but at the moment of exertion, he found that his hands and feet were bound by sharp weapons, and the force he had just used instantly caused blood to roll out of his hands and feet.
The deep voice sounded earnestly, "Good brother, don't move. Look at the wounds on your hands and feet, I look at it and ......it hurts," said Tong Baiyi, who also covered his face with a fan, looking unbearable to witness.
Beads of sweat dripped down Tong Fengyi's pale cheeks and fell on the torture instrument soaked in his blood, but he still couldn't hold back a sound, and he didn't know how long the "tick" sound sounded, Tong Fengyi finally squeezed out the words he wanted to ask from between his teeth, "Yes, you, catch, go, Yi, you?" ”
Tong Fengyi was blindfolded, and he could only hear Tong Baiyi sneering twice, "Sure enough, it is my loyal and courageous good brother, and when he dies, he still remembers the lord, oh no, it is the safety of the master's mother." ”
Tong Baiyi returned his hand and patted the rattan chair that had fallen a little dust, and then slowly sat down, as if saying that the weather was very good today, and said indifferently: "That's right." That's more than that, right? It's okay, I don't have anything else to give you right now but a lot of good times, so I'm patient enough to wait for you to ask your doubts and answer them for you, so that you don't become a fool. ”
Tong Fengyi's heart was instantly extremely cold, and he endured the severe pain of both body and mind and asked word by word: "Did you send someone to inform Yiyou of her life experience?" ”
"Yes."
"Did you secretly help Ling Ji kill Ling He who was guarding the border pass?"
"Yes."
"You instigated Ling Ji to commit suicide?"
"Yes."
Tong Fengyi tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked the last question with difficulty, "Did you send someone to assassinate Zeyuan, but you accidentally killed Dai Yuan in the chaos?" ”
Tong Baiyi smiled: "Yes, it's not." Because what I wanted to kill was originally Xin Daiyi. ”
Tong Fengyi was furious, and he suddenly felt a warm and salty feeling in his throat, and he wanted to break free from the shackles and break Tong Baiyi's body into pieces.
Tong Baiyi admired Tong Fengyi's every move with satisfaction, and put away the brown jade silk fan in his hand with a little wrist strength, with a hint of disappointment in his tone, "I thought that with your intelligence, you should not ask questions in a disorderly manner, how do you know that you can't even think of such a simple cause and effect for a Xin Daiyi." ”
Tong Fengyi no longer had the strength to deal with him, and asked directly, "What do you want to say?!" ”
Tong Baiyi snorted coldly, sealed a trace of tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "What do I want to say...... Brother, isn't it a little late for you to ask me what I want to say today...... Anyway, after pretending to be in front of you for so many years, I don't want to go around in circles with you anymore, so I'll tell you all the great achievements of the past 20 years. I killed the wilderness. I persuaded Ling Yu to leave, and I forced Ling Shu away. Ling Jiong, Ling Zhe, and Ling He have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they all died in my hands. I also managed to let Yiyou know her background, and after killing Dai Wei, I made Yiyou climb into Qiu Zeyuan's bed, and now Yiyou, He Yanjun, and you are all in my hands. ”
Angry and grief-stricken, he couldn't describe Tong Fengyi's mood at this time, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, "Why...... Even if you hate me and Zeyuan, and hate us for pushing you out as a shield in the first place, why did you kill Dai Yuan?! She's so kind, you were so close when you were kids, how did you kill her?! ”
Tong Baiyi's voice was faintly choked, and he sighed: "Yes! She is so good, the only one among us who hasn't changed over the years is her. I don't want to do this to her...... It's a pity, the person she loves is Qiu Zeyuan, and the person who loves her is you Tong Fengyi, how could she escape the fate of becoming the handle of the knife in my hand? And ......" Tong Baiyi knew that Tong Fengyi couldn't see it, but he still stepped forward and stared at him tightly, "Do you know why I didn't kill her back then, and I had to delay killing her until the wedding day of her and Qiu Zeyuan more than ten years later, and let Qiu Zeyuan and Yiyou come together?" ”
Tong Fengyi, who was covered in bruises, could no longer control his trembling body, and the voice like a messenger from hell sounded with a smile again, "Seeing that your beloved woman has been guarding by other men's side for nearly twenty years, and she didn't get that man until the end of her life, but other women easily got him, and this woman is still Xin Daiyun's daughter, isn't your heart particularly painful?" Although he is your best brother, do you particularly hate him? Do you want to kill the adulterers* with your own hands and avenge your beloved? ”
Tong Fengyi let out a sad cry, hot tears slid down his face full of blood, as if all he was shedding were bloody tears, "You kill me, I beg you to kill me......"
Tong Baiyi's face showed a satisfied smile again, "Is this in a hurry?" Knowing that the woman you love the most died because of you, you don't want to sort out the cause and effect, and you don't want to know what I will do next, so you just want to die? ”
The strings that had just been cut in Tong Fengyi's heart were tensed together, he was originally puzzled, Tong Baiyi killed Dai Yi maybe to deal with himself and Zeyuan, but what reason did he have to kill Yuan Ye? Yuan Ye was Zeyuan's enemy, didn't he kill Yuan Ye to fulfill Zeyuan? Now calm down and think about it, the things that I was puzzled about just now have finally figured it out......
"I didn't want Yuan Ye's life, but then I saw that Qiu Zeyuan would let Yuan Ye go for Xin Daixun and willingly cuckold, so I changed my mind......"
