Chapter Twenty-Three: The Gathering of Storms (II)

Two.

After Shui unintentionally agreed to settle the matter between Feng Wuxin and General Zheng, I asked He Yunsheng to let her go. Yun invisibly also revealed that Hua Wuru did intend to ask her to get close to me, but he didn't say why, I thought that I had found Sangluo, and I should go back to Wucheng, and there would be no major problems, so I didn't ask further.

Du Duzhen also completed the matter of Wind and Rain City, and wanted to go back to Wucheng to resume his life, He Yunsheng and I rode horses, but Du Duzhen, Feng Ge and Sang Luo sat in the carriage again, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I said that I tricked Sang Luo into riding a horse, and He Yunsheng saw that the people who accompanied me were replaced by my beautiful cousin, and he was also very happy, so he decided.

The night before I left for Wucheng, the clouds knocked on my door.

I looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Why is it still the same as March Twenty-six?" Do you like this human skin mask? ”

Yun Wufu's face turned red and said, "This, this is my true appearance." ”

I raised my eyebrows: "Don't you never show your true face?" Wouldn't it be great to let me know your true colors? ”

"You're different." In the past two days, the cloud has changed from the lively willfulness of the first encounter and has become subtle. I first called He Yunsheng and Du Duzhen to remind Yun Wuwu that he might like me, and seeing her like this, I also felt that it was not a good decision to celebrate her birthday in the first place. I originally regarded her as a sister, but she regarded me as a lover, and if I was entangled, something would happen.

Seeing that I was silent, Yun Wuwu didn't know the changes in my heart, and said, "Why don't you ask my eldest sister why I want me to approach you?" Why not alienate me because of this? ”

"I know you won't hurt me." I smiled and said, "That day in Chen Yuan, if you hadn't stopped me, the water girl would have killed me." ”

"Xiangye is a very gentle person." The cloud invisibly said softly. I thought about it carefully, this sentence seemed very familiar, and remembered that Feng Ge and Ruan Qing had also said about me, and then I broke my heart for them, and said with a wry smile: "No, no, no, I'm actually very bad." ”

Yun Wuwu didn't answer, handed me a sachet, where did I dare to take it, Yun Wuwu saw that I didn't move, so he stuffed it into my hand.

"I know that March 26 is also your birthday, and if you give me such a valuable gift, I naturally want to return the gift." I took a look, and sure enough, Yun Wuwu wore the hairpin I gave her today, "This sachet... I sewed it myself, and the dried flowers inside were also selected by me and dried by me, you... Don't be disgusted. ”

As soon as she said this, I couldn't find a reason to refute it, so I said, "Then I'll thank Miss Yun." ”

"You're going to have to keep it with you all the time!" Yun looked up at me invisibly, his eyes full of anticipation. I had to pin the sachet to my waist, and Yun smiled invisibly. I said, "Thank you, Miss Yun." ”

"My little word flower shadow!" She suddenly came to such a sentence, so scared that I almost couldn't help but take two steps back, in Chenguo, the girl's small character can only be called by parents, relatives and husbands, I have only known Yun Wuwu for a few days, she suddenly asked me to call her small character, I categorically couldn't agree, so I had to say: "More deeply exposed, Miss Yun, go back and rest." ”

Yun Invisible Willow Leaf frowned, saying that this beauty is the most delicious time, I think she is also a little distressed like this, but since it is impossible, why bother to plant deep roots?

"Then you hug me." The cloud does not form the road.

"Ah, that's not good." I waved my hand busily, to be honest, although I grew up with Sun Yuji when I was a child, I didn't care much about the difference between men and women in private, and I slept in a bed when I was seven or eight years old, but I never hugged Sun Yuji - I didn't even hug my sisters, except for my wife, I really haven't hugged other girls, how dare I hug the clouds?

"Do you want to hug it?" Yun Wuwu approached me a few steps, and I took a few steps back: "Yun girl, Yun girl, this lonely man and widow, the moon is dark and the wind is high, not very good, not very good." Yun Wuwu pounced on me without saying anything, and hugged me by surprise. I've grown so big, I've never seen such an active girl, and suddenly my mind went blank and I couldn't speak.

Yun Wuwu didn't seem to let go yet, and said sullenly in my arms: "Actually, we have met a long time ago, and you forgot about me." ”

"Miss Yun, if you have something to say, the gentleman doesn't do anything." My scalp was numb, and I said. She didn't speak, I only felt that she was shaking, as if she was crying, I had to pat her head comfortingly, she didn't speak but cried, the little girl's body was too soft, I didn't dare to move, I couldn't move, and when she cried for a while, she suddenly let go of me, lowered her head to wipe her tears, and sobbed: "Do you think I'm from a bad background?" ”

"No, no." I hurriedly waved my hand and handed her the handkerchief, "You see that you are only fifteen years old, young and beautiful, the boys chasing you can be lined up from Jingyang City to Wind and Rain City, and there must be many young talents in the middle..."

"You just think that I have a bad background, and I can't compare to your wife who is the daughter of the official Shangshu!" Yun Wuwu said with a crying voice, "I've seen it for the past two days, that Feng Ge doesn't look like a girl from a family, and Du Gongzi doesn't really like her, right?" ”

Yun Wuwu's words scared me into a cold sweat, Feng Ge's question is too sensitive, I don't even know what Du Duzhen means, in fact, I can't see through what Du Duzhen means to Feng Ge, I used to think that Du Duzhen is just a child of a family with all kinds of poisons, and later found out that he is a scheming and scheming Hades team, and after being the prime minister for so many years, I no longer believe in the superficial judgment of appearance.

"You don't know what Feng Ge and Du Duzhen have experienced, and you don't know what happened to me and my wife." In order to make her feel relieved that her background is not everything, I told her about Soft Qing, but thinking that Soft Qing was really not doing well in the Hou Mansion, I sighed and said, "Love does not come first and then come, it is all destined." ”

"How do you know that your wife is your destiny? There won't be one in the future? ”

"I don't know if Madame is my destiny, but I know I can't do without her." I looked at Yun Wuwu, "Let's put it this way, for He Yunsheng Du Duzhen, I can take everything as a thing, and only have a pair of pants left; But for the sake of Madame, I can take these pants as well. ”

Yun Wuwu bit her lip, I always felt that she was going to do something more, and hurriedly said, "Okay, it's too late, you can go back." As long as we're all alive, we'll always see each other again. ”

Yun Wuwu's eyes were full of sorrow and reluctance, I lowered my head and stopped looking at her, and after a long time I heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and when I looked up again, I was the only one left in the room.

Following.

In the carriage back to Wucheng, Du Duzhen and I sat opposite each other, and Feng Ge sat between the two of us, listening to He Yunsheng and Yin Sangluo singing all the way, but it was quite peaceful. Feng Ge said suddenly: "I saw Yun Wu enter your room yesterday, what did you do?" ”

"Didn't do anything." I complained bitterly in my heart, and I was busy giving Du Duzhen a look, so that you found a secret agent by your side, which hurt me.

"Then why did this sachet suddenly come out of your waist?" Feng Ge smiled maliciously.

Du Duzhen also laughed unfathomably, under the coercion and temptation of the two of them, I told everything about last night, Feng Ge smiled very much: "Then you say, when the cloud is invisibly hugging you, did you stretch out your hand?" ”

"I—How dare I, I comforted her when she cried."

"I still reached out." Du Duzhen concluded.

"Hey, I just stretched it, and I hugged it once!"

"How many more times do you want to hug?" Feng Ge was already trembling with laughter, "No, I'm going to tell the Prime Minister's wife to go." ”

"Don't, Madame knows that you have to peel my skin!" I hurriedly said, "Sun Yuji and I haven't done anything, and Mrs. can also drink a few jars of vinegar, not to mention that the clouds are invisible." ”

"Yun Wuwu said that the two of you have met a long time ago, what's the matter?" Du Duzhen finished laughing and returned to the topic.

"I don't know, I'm not impressed at all." I was also confused, I didn't know what year, month, hour, moon, I had seen clouds invisible.

"Maybe you saved her indirectly, or did something to keep her in mind?" Feng Ge said with a smile, "Xiangye used to have unlimited scenery, and it is not impossible. ”

"Then you'd better bless don't save her, people in the rivers and lakes value affection, you save her life, she will definitely promise her." Du Duzhen laughed, "But it's not a bad thing to get the favor of Yun Wuxiang, it's good that this matter spreads, and no one will dare to touch you easily when you go to the rivers and lakes in the future, you are not only Yin Jieli's grandson, but also Yun Wuwu's sweetheart." …… But if you want me to say that your peach blossom luck is really different from others, the girls you meet have their own backgrounds, Yun Wuwu is a famous beauty in the rivers and lakes, and your wife is the daughter of the official Shangshu,... Oh, I almost forgot about Wu Zipei! ”

I wanted to cry without tears: "Don't make fun of me, where am I peach blossom luck, this is peach blossom luck!" ”

"I see, this is just the beginning, and you will have to suffer later." Du Duzhen blinked mysteriously and made a prophetic gesture, "There are nobles in someone's life, and there are women in your life." ”

As soon as Du Duzhen said this, he couldn't help laughing, and laughed crookedly with Feng Ge, and even attracted the attention of He Yunsheng and Yin Sangluo in front, only me, depressed all the way back to Wucheng.

Three.

Seeing that I brought Sanglu back intact, my grandfather and Mrs. Dayue saw that I had come back well, and they were relieved. After coming back, He Yunsheng went to stay in the camp of the military department again, and Du Duzhen wanted to enter the palace to find the national teacher to restore his life, and asked me to go with him, so I entered the Yangri Palace with him.

When I arrived at the Zijin Pavilion, the honeysuckle flowers were already blooming very well, and the national teacher seemed to be in a good mood today, painting honeysuckle in the courtyard, seeing that we were coming, he put down the paintbrush and said, "The matter is done?" ”

Du Duzhen and I said in unison: "Yes." ”

"How's the hollyhock?" The national teacher suddenly asked his wife, and I thought that he cared about my first child, so he said, "The body is fine, everything is fine." The national teacher nodded, and asked Du Duzhen again: "What about Feng Ge?" "Okay." Du Duzhen's answer was simple and clear, but I always felt that there was something different between the dialogue between the national teacher and Du Duzhen, but I couldn't smell it.

"Twilight has been fine lately, let's rest. Yulan, you've come just in time. The national teacher wiped his hands, walked into the house to pour tea, Du Duzhen and I followed, and the national teacher said: "In two days, the national delegation will come, and you will receive it." ”

"The mission of the country?" I was confused, "What are they doing here?" ”

"Song Gucheng recruited troops in the north and recruited a wasteland." The national teacher paused at this point, and I remembered that the absurdity was where Liu Yune's father used to live, located at the junction of Yin, Chen, and Si, and was in war all year round; I also heard the national teacher talk about the recruitment of the king of Yuwen, I heard that the imperial court meant to talk about peace first, and if I couldn't talk about it, I waved my troops to the north, and I didn't know what kind of excitement the country came to join in at this time.

"Many people in the north of the country have fled to the country, although there was a covenant of the country, but the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms did not put a fart in the country, and the two countries did not take this alliance into account." It was the first time I heard the national teacher swear words, and I was amused in my heart, but I had to pretend to be serious on the surface, "This time the country sent a mission, first, to talk about tariffs, and secondly, to talk about the refugees who poured in from Chenguo, but the importance of the envoy of the country this time is far more than that. ”

The national teacher stopped talking, turned around and went to make tea, as if deliberately leaving me time to think about the importance of the national mission.

I went to see Du Duzhen, Du Duzhen made me a "Han Fu" with a mouth shape, I thought about it and understood, and said: "Siguo sent an embassy this time, I'm afraid I still have to determine the situation in the future of Chenguo, who is in charge." ”

The national teacher didn't know if he had seen me and Du Duzhen's small movements, and said with a smile: "Yes, so you have to receive these envoys well, and you must not let Han Fu buy them first, you know?" ”

"Is Uncle Han Fu so bold?"

"He dared to instigate Song Gucheng to rebel, and he didn't dare to collude with the country?" When the national teacher said this, he looked at Du Duzhen, "The matter of Feng Ge back then made it clear that Song Gucheng and Siguo already had a cooperative relationship, but fortunately, you found out in time." ”

Thinking of Feng Ge's matter, and remembering that Fan Mengqiu was indeed a traitor, I still break out in a cold sweat.

"Anyway, you go back and prepare first, if you don't understand anything, just ask Yuqing, you can't go on any business trips." The national teacher said, "Even if you can't take the country, you have to make sure that they don't interfere in the internal affairs of the Chen country." ”

"Yes!"

Speaking of the century-old grievances between the country and the kingdom of Chen, it has to be said. First of all, let's talk about what kind of place is the country, the country is located in the northeast of the country of Chen, the country is long and short, and the border country of Yin has been in war for a hundred years, both sides are ambitious and want to be in the twelve countries of the good war, so the people in the area at the junction of the three countries are very bad.

The founding monarch of the country of Chen and the founding monarch of the country of Si were brothers who worshipped the son, and there was a "Covenant of Tatsumi" at the beginning of the establishment of the country of Chen, and during the three wars of the country, it was the honeymoon period of the country of Chen and the country, but during the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms, the country did not lend a helping hand to the country of Chen, so we had a heart. At that time, it also happened to be the third great war of Yin, and the country of Yin attacked the country at night and slaughtered the innocent people of the three cities. It just so happened that decades ago, Yin Guo had snatched a treasure from Chen Guo Lingyun Zhan, and the great thief of Chen Kingdom picked the moon on the night of September 15 to steal Lingyun Zhan, and at the same time, Zhang Jingyan and Ye Qingyan, the world's No. 1 in the world, went to escort him, and finally Lingyun Zhan returned to Chen Kingdom. This time, the country has lost face, and the people's feelings are high.

Originally, it was only the martial arts masters of Chen Kingdom who spoke out for their friends, but a generation of immortal Zhang Jingyan died in that operation, and it was rumored that Zhang Jingyan was killed by the secret arrow of the martial arts people of Yin Kingdom. Zhang Jingyan's reputation in Chenguo is too great, and his death has aroused the anger of the people in Chenguo, and thinking that Siguo will not save Chenguo in death, the relationship between Chenguo and Yin and Siguo is getting worse and worse. By the time I succeeded as prime minister, Siguo actually sent secret agents to spy on Chenguo's intelligence, which was already a tearing up of the covenant.

On the way back, I frowned, Du Duzhen smiled: "It's just to talk to them, you are so smart, are you afraid that you can't talk to others?" ”

I smiled wryly: "If I don't do this well, I may have to commit suicide." ”

"Yulan, although it is not good to increase the pressure on you at this time, I still have to say that you are the prime minister of Chenguo, and you do have a great responsibility, and you cannot compromise on the interests of the country. You see, now that the king of Yuwen is rebelling in the north, and the country is eyeing the country in the south, we have no way to retreat. Du Duzhen's face was also covered with a layer of sadness.

"Yes, there's no way back." I muttered.
