Chapter 44: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit

The moon is like weaving. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe fishing fire of the painting boat and the black canopy by the river is still bright. Ascending scenery.

Xiangshui Building is a leisure hall in Beiming with Hunan cuisine and cross talk storytelling as the main features.

Qingfeng Pavilion is the highest floor of Xiangshui Building, a small pavilion near the river on the side of the mountain.

At this time, as the night gradually deepened, Xiangshui Tower had already quieted down. However, the door waiting outside the door accurately recognized my arrival and led me directly from the backyard through the hidden pebble path to the Qingfeng Pavilion.

The wind chimes tied with the octagonal arch of the eaves of the corridor rustle in the night breeze that seems to be nothing, the lights in the pavilion are rendered as if day, the cinnamon floor is spotless, after the entrance, you will see the light yarn flying, go forward, but empty, as if no one.

When I looked back at the door that had led me to it, there was no one to come, so I walked inward, and behind the curtain of beads, half of my beautiful face was pressed against a long table made of mutton fat jade, and no one was dozing off, and my hair was fluttering on my squinted eyes.

At this time, Xing Qiuyan had already changed into an ordinary blue satin pinched placket coat, with a Suzhou embroidered folded branch pile flower skirt, and sent it away.

Seeing her dozing off, I cleared my throat a little embarrassed, she opened her eyes and held her head, like a star's eyes revealing a little confusion, but she quickly returned to her usual tone, and said with a smile, "You're here." ”

"Yes." I raised my eyes to look at her, my eyes collided, the noise was like a flame, the ice was like a cold autumn, her gaze meant a lot, and although I couldn't see my own eyes, I knew very well that the emotions in my heart were also very complicated.

I didn't want this kind of silent scene to last too long, and the night was late, so let's be straightforward, I took out Xing Qiuyan's bells and whistles and jeweled hairpin from the sleeve of my robe, threw it on the small table in front of her, and then sat on the other side, and sighed softly:

"I just want to know, why are you a secret spy in Xinyue? What do you get by doing this?

Beiming treats you well, Xing Yuanliang holds the Haiyan Salt Factory, and there are a large number of workshops along the river, which is rich enough to rival the country, do you have Fu Shao, a good husband who the women in the world can't take care of, isn't it good to live a good life? Why? ”

Xing Qiuyan smiled slightly, in my memory, she had never smiled. I only heard her raise her eyebrows and sarcastically:

"I read that letter, you used the sealing method of the Xinyue secret agent, you actually want to show it to me. Now that you know, why did you cover it up for me? What do you get by covering up for me? Beiming doesn't necessarily owe you anything.

Obviously, you have doubts about your background, but you still follow Qin Qing's own wishes, and let go of the opportunity that the original lord intended to be the concubine of Prince Ning to develop the relationship between in-laws and reward the heroes, and give you Qin Qing to marry you, and give you such a reward of being a four-rank military attache who is only a twenty-one-year-old hairy boy.

It even gives you the opportunity to learn and socialize with a cadre of military and political officials in Beiming. Why didn't you take this opportunity to expose me and make meritorious contributions to Beiming? ”

"You—" I was a little speechless, and a gloomy heaviness welled up in my heart, which I easily suppressed, and continued:

"I'm afraid that you will affect Fu Shao. Do you know what kind of character the eldest princess is, and the talents of the bureau that she has seen are not you or I can estimate. I don't know Fu Shao's identity, aren't you afraid of acting like this, in case someone investigates and harms Fu Shao? ”

"If it weren't for me, he would have been killed," Xing Qiuyan suddenly stood up, walked to the window lattice, sighed at the night breeze, and came back again:

"Since I am the daughter-in-law chosen by Fu Yan, I naturally have my value, Fu Shao has been taken care of by the people around him since he was a child, even though he has the talent for governance, but he doesn't have much ability to deal with treachery, without me by his side, without me to use silver to maneuver, and use means to help him get rid of people,

To save people, how can he, an anarchist who has no talent for governing the world but has no skills to protect himself, crisscross the north unscathed? ”

I was quite shocked by what she said, and I knew in my heart that what she said was true, and if you want to have the ability to rise, you rely on talent, loyalty, and the trust and love of the Lord;

However, if you want to have the ability to protect yourself and be undefeated in the ups and downs of the sea, you rely on silver, relationships, authority, and a deep understanding of the interests and layouts of important ministers and forces of all parties.

But I still sighed, then untied the scimitar from my waist, put it on the table, and said while fiddling with it: "But you should have already aroused the doubts of the eldest princess, let's stop, this is Beiming, without Fang Juncheng's trust and the protection of the eldest princess, how can Fu Shao die well?" ”

"You are a Xinyue person, how can you say such words?" Xing Qiuyan stood up, her back straight, and looked at me with a contemptuous look for the first time, there was not the slightest sadness or joy in her eyes, only the desolate silence permeated her eyes.

"Fu Shao is a Xinyue person, even if he just wants to eat with his ability and have his own ideals of governing the country, then one day, he will have the opportunity to return to Xinyue and contribute to the peaceful and prosperous era of Xinyue, Beiming is just a test field, when Fang Juncheng dies, it will be my Xinyue world, and my Xinyue Tianzi has already made a good layout, don't you believe it?"

I said in my heart, how much I want to believe, but how can I believe it, it is a dream, and it is beautiful to think about.

It is precisely because I love Xinyue deeply that I can't expose Xing Qiuyan, on the contrary, it is precisely to cover up the idea for her that I chose to benefit others and myself to close the Wu family and the Liu family, but I really don't have confidence in my heart whether my actions have really hidden from the eldest princess,

I had to warn Xing Qiuyan with a strong voice. But when she said this, I smiled bitterly to myself, and I couldn't speak for a long time.

The bells rustling in the wind outside the window seem to be decorated, and they were originally used to prevent eavesdropping.

At this moment, the voice was as piercing as if it crossed the silent night sky, and the new time in my heart was near and far, but I didn't know how to express it for a while, and I forgot all at once what I had to ask before and after I came.

Concern is chaos, nothing more than that.

"I know what you want to ask me, but I can't tell you what the Son of Heaven has entrusted to me, let alone who else is, I just believe that we will succeed in the end, and when the political situation in Beiming becomes chaotic, it will be the day of my new reunification, I know you don't believe it,

But I believe it, so I will complete my mission in order to pay Shao's back road. "Xing Qiuyan has changed her style from the past, this lively housewife who usually pretends to be vulgar or even vulgar, has such strength in her heart, which makes me ashamed.

But I still looked at her with a wry smile, "Just by taking advantage of the prince and the concubine's coveting and fighting for the throne?" How can Fang Juncheng make it easy for you to succeed?

Now that Prince Jing is looking forward to it, does the new Yue Tianzi still have the means to reach into Prince Jing's military camp, to Prince Jing's guards or the backyard of the princess, and murder Prince Jing, and then provoke the princes to contact the ministers and compete for the throne?

As far as I know, the people around Princess Jing are all trained by the eldest princess herself, and the Jing Palace's management is strict, even if you put me in, I can't succeed, I just hope you don't trap Fu Shao in injustice.

Once the eldest princess suspects you, it is inevitable that she will suspect Fu Shao, and once Fu Shao is no longer trusted, you will have no use, so I think it is better for you to settle down and not toss. As for your so-called attempt, with my general level of understanding of the spies planted by Xinyue in Beiming, they can't do it, so you still don't have any illusions. ”

"Smack-" Before I finished speaking, the jade-colored teacup and teapot were pushed down by Xing Qiuyan, and they were broken everywhere, and the door waiting outside the door entered in response, but Xing Qiuyan said a few words and went out.

Her anger seemed to die out with the shattered cups and pots. The blankness and coldness between my eyebrows made me feel sad.

It's just that I still insist, I'm indifferent for everyone's good. When she sat back down next to the small table, I saw that blood had oozed from her palms, and with a resolute look on her pale face, she bit her lip and snorted coldly:

"Not necessarily. You can't kill Prince Jing because you don't want to kill him, you are obsessed with everything in Beiming and don't believe in the future of Xinyue, but not everyone has such thoughts as you. How can no one do it in my Xinyue, how do you know that the real strength of my Xinyue spy is just a second generation. ”

This is a posture to quarrel with me, since I came to Beiming, although I asked myself not to be a pillar of the sky that turned the tide, but this two words, but I can't bear it.

I was also a little angry for a while, but I saw that she was nostalgic for her homeland after all, and her duty was located, and she was really embarrassed in her position, so she was kind in her heart, but who knew that she was aggressive, and I was so ashamed that my face was hot.

But I opened my mouth, but I didn't say anything. At that moment, I suddenly felt that I understood something, and I seemed to agree with what she said in my heart, it was not that I had no way to kill Prince Jing, but that I didn't want to, I was infatuated with Beiming, and I was reluctant to give up Xinyue,

I really can't do what she believes in Beiming to revive one day, although that's my dream. But is there really someone around Prince Jing who he trusts to endanger him? Who could that be?

The fog in my heart rippled away layer by layer, and I finally gave up advising Xing Qiuyan.

"Let's go back," I stood up, and said with a little sentimentality, "I have bought a mansion in Dachejia Lane in the south of the city, and I will not go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with you to settle down, and after a while, I will start to move, and I will prepare to welcome my relatives.

When the time comes, come to the happy bar, you and Fu Shao are my relatives after all. ”

After saying that, I picked up the scimitar and hung it back on my waist, arched my hand, and walked out in farewell.

"I'll help you get married, you men don't understand this."

When I walked to the door, Xing Qiuyan suddenly said behind me, when I looked back at her, she seemed to have returned to her usual enthusiastic posture of Xing's mother, seeing that I was a little hesitant, she calmly added, saying:

"Don't worry, your good life, how could I deliberately do it at that time, besides, dealing with Prince Jing's affairs is not something that I Xing Qiuyan can do, nor is it my task."

I thought about it for a while, opened my mouth to smile, and bowed again, "Then thank you to the master mother and Uncle Fu." ”

Little did I know, however, that getting married was such a complicated affair, and although I was soon ordered to do so, it took me the vast majority of the next few months to get everything in order and to prepare it

-- Because with Xing Qiuyan's active help, my marriage is really as powerful as Xinyue, maybe in Xing Qiuyan's eyes, she is like my mother, and she is organizing the wedding for me.

So, all kinds of water and land freight went into battle together, not to mention, all kinds of etiquette were fully equipped, and it seemed that except for me and Qin Qing, all friends maintained a high degree of enthusiasm and cooperation in this matter.

Even General Qin Yi was kind and generous to Xing Qiuyan, and felt that his daughter would marry into her husband's family in the future without being wronged. When the first list of friends, family and guests arrived at me in the winter, I was shocked to pop out my eyes.

Xing Qiuyan not only turned the marriage into a big banquet for the Beiming military, but also invited all the Xinyue friends I knew, Yu Wenyong, Yu Wenchen, Shen Shuyang, Zhao Jingming, Yu Wenfu, etc.

Not only did she pay out of her own pocket for all the bridal banquets, but she also took this opportunity to mingle with my friends, and she was so willing to show up, and this kind of enthusiastic posture was my biological mother's life, so I am afraid that this is the case.

It's just that I'm still faintly uneasy in my heart, I know that Xing Qiuyan, who is a businessman, will never do a loss-making business, and being so enthusiastic is not simply out of how deep his feelings are with me, but that there must be other actions to exchange news in this multi-party contact.

Even more spy rebukes, under the operation of the wedding, secretly operated.

The wedding was scheduled for the twentieth day of the lunar month, and it was said that it was a good day. Although there is no such custom in Beiming, in Xinyue, auspicious days and auspicious times are very particular, and Xing Qiuyan's full set of Zhang Luo is gradually coming to winter.

This winter, Beiming has a particularly heavy snowfall, the hexagonal snowflakes fall and rise, the beauty is like crying, the white earth and the heavy snow are fused together, everything is like the illusion from the snow dance frost wind, the full snow is coming.
