He Yunsheng and I went to Du Duzhen's place and found Feng Ge sitting at the door stroking the qin. To be honest, I rarely see Feng Ge so quiet, I have the impression that Feng Ge is always uninhibited, He Yunsheng directly said my thoughts: "I didn't expect Feng Ge to have a quiet side." I laughed, and He Yunsheng said again, "Sometimes I wonder, how can Feng Ge stand a person like Du Duzhen?" ”
"What do you mean?" I couldn't help but laugh and went over to say hello to Feng Ge. Feng Ge saw us, smiled at us, and continued to stroke the qin. He Yunsheng and I walked in to find Du Duzhen, and He Yunsheng said: "I know that Du Duzhen is very lazy in his bones and likes to live a stable life, Feng Ge is not a person who lives this kind of life." "Although He Yunsheng didn't know that Du Duzhen had actually taken over the affairs of the Hades team, He Yunsheng had always looked at people accurately... Except for Li Guning.
I also have this idea in my heart, I always feel that Feng Ge is not a person who lives in peace, Chen Guo can't tie her, she always has to run out, plus the secrecy of Du Duzhen's work, I have a strange premonition that Feng Ge and Du Duzhen will part ways sooner or later.
But I couldn't help but think of their earth-shattering relationship back then, and I was amused, and I inexplicably thought of my cousin.
Du Duzhen was lying on the Taishi chair, his eyes closed and he didn't know what he was thinking, He Yunsheng shouted from afar: "Boss Du, get up and do business." ”
Du Duzhen didn't move: "Take the wine yourself, I'm too lazy to move." ”
"Look, I'll just say he's lazy." He Yunsheng said to me, "I'll see if you change your name to Du Wubu." ”
"Then I see why you can't stop it." Du Duzhen said lazily, "I'm full of energy all day long, I really don't know how you did it, is it because I'm really old." ”
"You're the youngest of us, what's your name here, be careful I stab you." He Yunsheng picked the altar of cold spring wine and said.
Du Duzhen raised an eyelid and said with a smile: "I think you are really old and confused, I am one year old, you can't remember this?" ”
"You can't talk about him, just pour him wine." I took three wine glasses, "What kind of wine are you not good at, you prefer to take cold spring wine, when I look at it, I think of Lu Yingwang bastard who kidnapped my sixth sister." ”
"Why are you two free to come to me today?" Du Duzhen smelled the aroma of wine, and finally moved his body.
"I want to ask you, I let you take care of my cousin, what about my cousin?"
"Wronged, she ran out to play by herself, don't blame me. Besides, you are so big that you still left your cousin here, do you know how hard I live every day? Du Duzhen gave me a blank look, "I asked her to go to the Midnight Tower to play with Sister Orange." ”
He Yunsheng almost squirted out the wine: "Is Midnight Tower the place where a little girl like Sang Luo should go?" ”
"She's not just a little girl, she's a devil." Du Duzhen said, "With her, I have to live ten years less." ”
"That's great." He Yunsheng said with a smile.
Although I also laughed, what Sun Yuji said sounded in my mind: Du Duzhen is too smart, calculating all day long, working hard, and his body will collapse sooner or later. Suddenly, I couldn't laugh.
I don't know what happened to He Yunsheng today, but he drank too much and fell asleep.
Du Duzhen and I were both in poor health, but we just drank nothing, and we didn't drink much, and we were still sober. Du Duzhen looked at He Yunsheng and sighed: "May is here, and he is going to be sad for a while." ”
"No, he will never forget the matter of Princess Jiande for the rest of his life." I said, "By the way, do you know about the pearl of the night of the national teacher?" ”
Du Duzhen was slightly stunned: "Night Pearl? ”
"Yes, yesterday the national teacher gave me a night pearl and asked me to take it to find a person named Li Weicao..."
"The national teacher asked you to find Li Weicao?" Du Duzhen seemed a little surprised, "What is the national teacher looking for Li Weicao to do now, I haven't called him for six years." ”
I said in my heart that Du Duzhen really knew something, and I only hoped that he could say more, but Du Duzhen kept silent.
"You can do it, tell me." I tell you.
"It's not that I won't tell you, it's just that you're not yet at the point where you should know these things." Du Duzhen sighed and said, "But I can tell you that the six night pearls were prepared by the national teacher for six people, one of them is Li Weicao. ”
"Are you one of those six?" I asked.
"What do you think?" Du Duzhen asked me rhetorically.
"I'm not thinking about you right now, I want to know, isn't Li Weicao a blind man? Why did the national teacher leave a night pearl for him? "I think if I ask Du Duzhen to open the topic, I won't be able to ask Li Weicao anything.
"You won't want to know, Yulan." Du Duzhen said, "I'm also for your good, there are some things that you don't know, but it's a blessing." ”
"I don't want that blessing."
"I've always been afraid that you'll be killed by your curiosity." Du Duzhen seemed to have a worried look on his face, not like he was pretending, "A lot of things, it's safe to not know, aren't you the same, don't you want to tell Dong Lai a lot of things?" ”
I didn't speak, just looked at him, Du Duzhen was silent for a long time, and said: "Li Weicao's matter, I can't call the shots, you go and ask him, maybe he is willing to tell you." ”
I was about to go to Li Weicao immediately, but Du Duzhen didn't persuade me, but only called the little servant to send He Yunsheng back to the house, so he put on his coat and said to me, "Let's go." ”
"Why are you going?" I glared at him.
"No matter what I say, you still have to go, and I can't stop you, and I don't worry about you going alone, won't I go with you?" Du Duzhen took a lantern, "You beat Xiaochang in the Prime Minister's Mansion, with fine clothes and fine food, why did you still suffer from night blindness?" ”
"Mencius has clouds, and the heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must torture him first." I blinked.
"Is that what Mencius said?" Du Duzhen felt funny, "Let's go." ”
I saw him cough twice, and I couldn't bear it, so I immediately said, "Either Feng Ge can go with me, you can rest at home." ”
"No, I'm not at ease."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to Feng Ge." I couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm not worried about Feng Ge, I'm worried about you." Du Duzhen glanced at me, "Let you go out alone with a spy from the country at night?" I don't want to go to the mass grave tomorrow to find you. ”
"That's Feng Ge, what can she do to me?"
"Just because it's Feng Ge. Yulan, Feng Ge, she is not from Chenguo after all. Du Duzhen said meaningfully, "Let's go." ”
It was late at night, and I was afraid that I would disturb the people, so I walked with Du Duzhen to Dongcheng Lane. Du Duzhen took me to turn left and right, turned into a small room, and said, "This is it." "I looked, and the room was horribly shabby, leaking, and there was no light in a broken window.
"He slept?"
"I didn't sleep, he couldn't sleep after the second watch." Du Duzhen knocked on the door as she spoke, and after waiting for a while, someone came to open the door.
Li Weicao really didn't sleep, her face was still bloodless as during the day, and she said coldly: "I don't know what Boss Du is looking for me to do again." ”
I'm surprised, isn't Li Weicao a blind man? The two of us haven't spoken yet, how did he know it was Du Duzhen?
"You're the only one who knocks on my door in the middle of the night." Li Weicao said sullenly, "I have accepted the Night Pearl, I will go to the national teacher when I find a day, what are you urging me to do again?" ”
Du Duzhen sighed and said, "I didn't come to you for the national teacher, but our Xiangye must meet you." After a pause, Du Duzhen said again, "Don't worry, he didn't come." ”
Li Weicao was silent for a while and said, "Come in." ”
Du Duzhen and I went in with a lantern and lit up the whole house, the furnishings were horribly simple, except for a row of peonies on a small table near the window, which was the only color in the whole room. I watched for a long time and didn't know where to sit, but Du Duzhen kept standing without meaning to sit. I didn't expect Li Weicao to have hot tea to drink in this small cabin. Li Weicao made tea, and I was really worried that he poured hot water on his hands, but he poured it into the cup steadily.
"What is Xiangye looking for me?" Li Weicao said.
"I wonder, what happened six years ago?" I just heard Du Duzhen say "he didn't come", who is he? Is it Li Weicao's enemy?
Hearing me mention that six years ago, Li Weicao's hand holding the teacup shook and said, "I don't say, what does Xiangye plan to do to me?" ”
Du Duzhen glanced at me, as if telling me with his eyes: He won't tell you, and I can't help it.
My heart says what else can I do to you? I can't hang you up, can I? Looking around, I saw the peony again, it was very beautiful, delicate, I couldn't help but get up to look at the peony, and when I got closer, it was really better than the one in He Yunsheng's mansion.
"Don't touch the peonies." Li Weicao seemed to be able to see it, and immediately said.
For some reason, peony, six years ago, and Li, these three words overlapped together like lightning in my mind, and a thought flashed through my mind, which surprised me, and when I hesitated, my mouth was faster than my brain, and I had already asked: "Are you Li Guning?" ”
Du Duzhen was drinking tea, but suddenly stopped, swallowed the tea stiffly, didn't speak, went directly to see Li Weicao, Li Weicao didn't speak, but her body had begun to tremble.
At that time, He Yunsheng did not tell Li Guning that he was in his house, because I had never seen Li Guning, although I had seen Li Guning's portrait, but after all, he was many years ago, and he was completely different from him now.
Du Duzhen coughed twice, breaking the silence: "You talk to Yu Lan, he will know sooner or later." ”
"Didn't the national teacher let you look at him and tell you that there were some things that he couldn't let him know? How did you do this errand? Li Weicao asked rhetorically.
"I didn't tell him a word, he guessed it himself." Du Duzhen sighed and said, "I didn't even say He Yunsheng's name. ”
Listening to the conversation between the two, I said in my heart that sure enough, Du Duzhen has the task of the national teacher's faction, and sure enough, my every move is under the control of the national teacher, and sure enough, Li Weicao is Li Guning! To be honest, my mind was a little confused now, and I didn't even know what to say, so I was stunned for a long time and asked, "Why did you kill Sister Xi?" ”
Li Weicao didn't speak, but her whole body kept trembling, and her face showed a look of pain: "Xi'er... My Xi'er... I don't want to... I really don't want to kill her... But I can't help it..."
I saw that he was very painful, and I was busy looking at Du Duzhen, but Du Duzhen seemed to be accustomed to this scene, and said: "When it comes to He Yunxi, he will always be like this, poor man." ”
"What happened six years ago, you should tell me quickly!" I was anxious, "I thought that this incident only tortured He Yunsheng for six years, but I never thought that it would also torture Li Guning for six years, since he didn't want to kill Princess Jiande, why did he do it in the first place?" ”
Du Duzhen drank all the tea in the cup, looked at the bottom of the cup, and said lightly: "Yu Lan, many things are not as simple as you think, many people's fate is induced by many things, and sometimes we don't have a choice." ”
"Don't play dumb riddles with me, if you don't tell me today, I'll go to the national teacher tomorrow!"
Li Weicao's trembling voice came: "I... I'm telling you. ”
