Chapter Seventy-One: The End of the Song Disperses
At this time, Dream Island can be described as a mixed blessing.
Happily, the hostages were rescued, the mole was exposed, the robbers died, and the crisis was resolved.
Worryingly, the Wanjiu sank, the captain of the sea ship betrayed, and one of the hostages died.
Suddenly, Dream Island quietly formed a four-way condolence group.
Some people went to express their condolences to Ming Zhu Gong, and Ming Zhu Gong suffered the deepest and heaviest blow to this unfortunate incident. Everyone witnessed the sinking of Wanjiu and felt the same way. The first to express condolences were the big proprietors of the four major firms, and at this time, their suspicions had been cleared, and they could naturally talk and laugh openly again.
Some people went to comfort Mingyu, and the misfortune of Dream Island must also be Mingyu's misfortune. Of course, the princesses and princesses who came to condole with each other. At this time, it is naturally difficult for them to mention any older brothers and younger brothers.
After Princess Chu Xi learned of Song Qiyong's deeds of shooting robbers, she was impressed by Song Qi and praised Mingyu in a low voice: "Your big brother Song is really a big hero, no wonder you ignore my brother." From now on, I will never say anything to you, this prince or that prince. ”
Although the voice was small, it was not so small that the other princess ladies could not hear it, they heard it, but they didn't understand what it meant, and they all looked at Mingyu. Mingyu blushed, stroked the hair on his chest inadvertently, and explained with a smile: "Fortunately, Brother Song has practiced a good crossbow technique, otherwise he would not have escaped the hands of robbers!" ”
The women were still puzzled when they heard this, but they didn't want to ask again.
A part of the people went to pay their respects to the Fourteenth Prince, because one of his guards was dead, and Sirius was dead. There are many people who offer condolences, and even Ming Zhu Gong went in person after accepting the condolences.
There were also some people who went to comfort Song Qi, who was injured by an arrow during the robbery, and was extremely sad because of Longbiao's death, and was bedridden for a while. The main people who came to condolence were Hua Meng, Mao Yong, Feng Dan and others.
Hua Meng held Song Qi's hand tightly and thanked him sincerely: "Song Gongzi, if you hadn't rescued me in time, I, Hua Meng, would have died at the hands of the robbers!" Thank you so much for saving your life! ”
"Where, where!" Song Qi took Hua Meng's hand on the bed and said humbly, "If it weren't for Hua Jiaotou's desperate efforts to save me, how would I have escaped from the hands of the robbers?" It should be my gratitude to the head of the flower sect for saving his life! ”
Of course, Mingyu Lingxue took the time to visit, but in view of the fact that there were many people on the island, she naturally did not dare to stay for a long time, and it was inconvenient to say more. Anyway, the guests will leave, and they will have time to condole.
The fourteenth prince was moved by Song Qi's love to protect Longbiao's body, and also sent someone to visit Song Qi on the hospital bed.
In the days that followed, the guests who came to celebrate their birthdays left the island by boat.
Although everyone has their own reluctance in their hearts (it must be like Princess Chuxi who is reluctant to give up Mingyu), there are all kinds of regrets (such as those princes failed to win Mingyu's favor), and there are all kinds of doubts (such as what the fourteenth prince gave the gift, such as who Mingyu likes, etc.), but there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed. After the song, parting will eventually come.
The fourteenth prince Princess Chuxi left, the eighth prince Princess Yanran left, the Marquis of Wenqu Yunchu left, and the Marquis of Wuyang and the county lord of Wumei left. The birthday celebration group of the big business names of various countries also left, and even the birthday celebration group of the national branches of the Ming Zhu business also left.
Longbiao's body was packed in a large black coffin, and he also left with the guards of the Fourteenth Prince.
For a while, Dream Island returned to its former peace.
After the princes and princes of various countries left, Ximen Yun once again aimed at Song Qi. After comparing Mingyu's attitude towards the princes and Song Qi, Ximen Yun felt that Song Qi was even more terrifying. The two princes and the two marquis, the weight of the four of them in Mingyu's mind combined is not equal to half of Song Qi's one.
Others may not be able to understand the mystery, but Ximen Yun, as Mingyu's hardest suitor, can naturally understand Mingyu's mind and can also distinguish Song Qi's weight in it.
On the side of the couch, it is impossible to allow others to snore, let alone a colorful tiger.
Song Qi's arrow wound will be cured for a few days. After coming back from the ghost gate several times, Song Qi has already taken many things lightly. He is now devoting all his energy to practicing shooting repeaters, and he has no time to care. For Ximen Yun, he adopted an attitude of respecting ghosts and gods and staying away, ignoring them. Ximen Yun has no way to take him.
The peaceful days flew by, and in a flash, twenty days passed.
A thousand-ton ship loaded with all kinds of cargo is ready to set off for Liangguo. The size of this ship is no less than that of the Wanjiu, which sank not long ago.
Ximen Liu took his second son Ximen Yu and led more than 300 family members and sailors to board the sea ship and go with the ship.
Early in the morning, Ximen Yun saw that Song Qi did not get on the boat, so he hurriedly came to Song Qi's room, and even used Ai Cai Ai Fu's help to knock on the door in person.
"Who?" Song Qi asked from inside.
Before the door opened, Ximen Yun asked urgently through the door, "Brother Song, didn't you agree to leave?" The boats are about to go! Why haven't you gotten on board yet? ”
Song Qi opened the door, and when he saw that it was Ximen Yun who was approaching the door, he crossed the door with one hand, squinted at the latter, and said angrily: "I promised to leave, but I didn't say that I wanted to go to Liang Country with your ship." ”
When Ximen Yun heard this, he felt very stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going if you don't go to Liang Kingdom?" ”
"I have my own arrangement for this, I don't need you to worry about it for me!" Song Qi sneered in his nose, and closed the door with anger as he spoke.
The door almost hit Ximen Yun's nose. Ximen Yun hurriedly took a few steps back, changed color from outside the door and shouted: "Song Qi, don't be perfunctory to me!" If you don't leave after three days, don't blame me for being rude! As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and walked away scolding.
Song Qi was so angry that he kicked the door and pounded the wall, pointed to the door and scolded: "It's really too deceitful!" I've explained to you that Mingyu and I are just ordinary friends. Where is it holding you that I live here to practice archery? If you want to pursue Mingyu, you pursue it yourself, why can't you get along with me? This island is not from your Simon's family, so why did you give me an eviction order? I want to live and see if you can bear me. ”
After scolding, Song Qi lay on the bed in a daze, looking at the roof in a daze, tears moistening the corners of his eyes.
After a while, he thought about it again and said, "As the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't suppress a snake. Although I, Song Qi, am not afraid of Ximen Yun, I have to think about Mingyu. After all, Ximen Yun's father Ximen Liu is the person that Ming Zhu Gong relied on, and after Ming Zhu Gong experienced Fan Yinao's betrayal, he needed Ximen Liu's full assistance. The result of fighting with Ximen Yun may affect Ximen Liu's loyalty to Ming Zhugong, and then damage Ming Zhugong's career. Why bother? ”
Then he thought again: "Ling Xue has always wanted to leave, to find the enemy who killed her father, and to avenge her father." Father Ling has saved my life, and I have promised to help Ling Xue avenge her father. Anyway, sooner or later, you have to leave, and it's better to go early than to go late. lest they become a thorn in the flesh of Ximen Yun's eyes and be framed by him. Besides, now that the robbers and traitors have been cleared, there is no danger around Mingyu, and I can go with peace of mind. ”
Song Qi thought about it and felt that whether it was for Mingyu or Ling Xue, leaving here was the best choice.
Thinking of this, I made up my mind, so I closed my eyes peacefully and slept with my head covered
