224 lonely men and widows
After Yang Ying returned to the Henan Mansion, he immediately spread the news of the destruction of the Xiangyang Hall to Qiao Lingze's old department.
Qiao Lingze, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately counterattacked more than a dozen strongholds of the white-clothed Maitreya.
Due to the safe departure of Duan Ruoxi and Wei Chigong, several strongholds in Beicheng had already received the news early; When Qiao Lingze's old department arrived, many places had already been empty, and the imaginary rush had almost turned into a farce of thunder and rain.
Yang Ying didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but there were still a few newspaper editors behind him who were notified by Su You; In desperation, he had no choice but to round up those underground forces that belonged to him. When those people saw that it was King Qi who took the lead, their originally turbulent momentum immediately relaxed, and they immediately restrained their hands.
Of course, they knew that King Qi was playing on the spot, even if he was captured at this time, it was just a matter of going to the prison for a spin, and such an easy errand was obviously more acceptable to bloody conflicts.
Yang Ying and the underworld forces under him acted all over the Eastern Capital, and naturally they had already alarmed the defenders and generals of the Eastern Capital; But when they saw that it was the king of Qi who took the lead, and the king of Qi was only leading a hundred and ten officials to act, most of their hearts were relieved, and the generals led by them also asked the king of Qi if he wanted to help.
Yang Ying is like lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot at this time, and naturally she doesn't want to let idle people and others see jokes; He waved them away in extreme disgust, and the melancholy in his heart was self-evident.
Yang Ying originally thought that he would have a good day when he went to Xiangyang Hall tonight, but after Su You appeared, his form took a sharp turn for the worse, and at this time he didn't know whether to blame Su You for waking up his sweet dream, or should he thank him for giving him an enlightenment?
Yang Ying was sad in his heart, but when he faced the questions of Du Ruhui, Liu Shanjing and others like flies, he could only force a smile and answer all questions.
While Yang Ying was struggling to deal with the reporters of several major newspapers in the Eastern Capital, Su You was making a register of those who participated in the war tonight, and in any case, he wanted to thank these people who were either enthusiastic or obligated to fight for him; Coming to Yanbei naturally regarded himself as Su You's master, and at this time he was methodically arranging those rescued stumbling girls.
Qingjing Xiaojiu and other people from the Su family consciously made soup cakes (noodles) for these dozens of people, and on such a cold night, there is nothing more heartwarming than a bowl of noodle soup and a few chopsticks of noodles.
Dozens of patrol members registered their names and surnames at Su You's place, and after a few simple bites of supper, they carried the casualties out of Su You's home; When they left, Su You promised in every possible way that he would soon help them get the pension from the King of Qi, and only when they were gone did he turn around.
Then came the departure of Li Jing and his wife, Lai Yanbei and her handsome family, they played more of a role in this battle as the escort of Su Youlai Yanbei and others, their casualties were much less than those of the patrol, and the people who came to the house did not sacrifice their lives for this, and the strictest one was just missing an arm.
Su You sent it out again, and after saying a few more words to Lai Yanbei at the door, he hurriedly returned home.
Who knew that Su You had just returned to the study, and when he was about to grind, he heard a knock on the door outside the house, and when he opened the door, he saw Cheng Yanjin standing at the door with a bowl of noodles.
Cheng Yanjin had already changed out of his blood-stained clothes, he originally wanted to follow Su You out to send Li Jing and the others just now, but Su You saw that his expression was a little wrong, and he thought that he would contribute the most tonight, so he tried his best to let him rest more.
"Uh, thank you, come on in." Su You hurriedly let Cheng bite the gold inside, and asked strangely, "How do you know that I haven't eaten yet." ”
"I saw that Mr. was busy just now, and the master seemed to have forgotten to eat supper and left." Cheng Biting Jin Lao Shen responded on the spot, but his spirit was not very good.
"The superior is beautiful on the surface, but he has to pay far more energy than ordinary people. Are you okay? Su You bit the bowl in Jin's hand, sighed, and asked the latter a little strangely.
"I'm fine." Of course, Cheng Yanjin knew what he was referring to, but it was not the first time he had killed someone.
"But worried about your father? It's okay, I believe that tomorrow the various newspapers in the Eastern Capital will be full of pages exposing the cult organization of Maitreya in white clothes, and your father will be able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light when he realizes their true colors. Su You took a sip of soup and thought about it for a long time before he realized what Cheng Yanjin was worried about now, but he had never been comforting, not to mention that he didn't even believe what he said.
People who participate in the cult are all paranoid, but Father Cheng still has a little discernment, and he will not give up treatment knowing that he is sick.
Cheng Yanjin nodded, he originally had some thoughts that Su You needed to explain, but after he saw that the latter was even in a hurry to eat noodles, he shut up when he saw the opportunity, and only silently walked to the side to help him study ink.
Su You finished eating the noodles three times and five by two, and after wiping his mouth, he persuaded Cheng to bite Jin Dao, "Bite Jin, you better go to sleep early, it's hard today." ”
"It's not bitter, I can slash the enemy today, and I'm still excited when I think about it now." Cheng Yanjin shook his head, and looked eager to try again.
"You still want to help King Qi destroy all their strongholds, right?" Su You asked with a smile, and wanted to clean up the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, but let Cheng Yanjin snatch them.
"Ah, I thought so, but isn't there no one around my husband?" Cheng Yanjin exclaimed, he did have the idea of continuing to hunt down the white-clothed Maitreya in his heart, but he couldn't imagine how Su You could see it.
"You say that, do Qingjing and Jiu'er know?" Su You smiled and said, "Okay, you go, I have to wait." ”
"Mr. said that it would be dawn later, and it was really in response to the sentence 'The wise man thinks about the skillful and the hard work, and the incompetent have nothing to ask for'."
"You kid, what kind of wise and skillful and incompetent people, tonight is nothing more than doing some official articles, which is also the proper meaning of the question." Su You shook his head, his next work can be described as a heavy task,—— Yang Guangna has to submit an explanation of Bai Mingda's rectification on the spot, and Yang You also has to have a report on the raid on the Xiangyang Hall tonight; Also, it is also necessary to write a battle essay on the white-clothed Maitreya to the "Reference News" and "Dongdu News".
"Then I won't bother Mr." Cheng Yanjin nodded, and when he pushed the door open with the tray, he saw Qingjing standing at the door with Turandot.
Turandot was not wearing a veil at this time, Cheng Yanjin looked at Turandot's blue eyes, and thought of the fruit body that he glanced at in the secret room of the Xiangyang Guild Hall, and couldn't help blushing a little, and then left in a hurry.
"Sir." Qing Jing knocked on the door and called crisply.
"Please come in." Su You naturally heard Qingjing's voice, and responded casually, but when he looked at the door, he saw Turandot standing next to Qingjing, so he immediately stood up, nodded and greeted, "Little princess?" ”
Turandot was still a little puzzled about the door that Qingjing knocked on, and even more incomprehensible when she heard Su You use the word "please" to Qingjing, but when she first arrived in the Central Plains, she thought that the state of etiquette should be like this; She is like Lin Daiyu who has just entered Jiafu, naturally she is cautious and frightened every step.
"Mr. Su, Duo'er is here to thank you, if it weren't for your appearance, Duo'er wouldn't know how to behave in the future." Turandot entered Su You's study with the support of Qing Jing, but when she approached Su You, she bowed to Yingying, and the tears in her eyes also flowed down her cheeks.
"The words of the little princess really made Su You embarrassed, the security situation in the Eastern Capital is so poor, as an official of the Great Sui, it should be me to apologize to you, the princess has suffered." Su You returned the salute, blamed himself, and said with a smile, "But I believe that if the princess stays in the Eastern Capital for a few months, she will definitely like the Eastern Capital." ”
"I believe that, too." Turandot wiped away her tears and nodded effortlessly.
"The princess is here, I don't know what to order." After Su You sat Turandot down, he asked bluntly, he still had to deal with official business, and he really didn't have much time to entertain her.
"Sir, will you call me a flower in the future? Mr. is so forgetful, didn't Duoer just say that he came to thank Mr.? Turandot frowned slightly, pretending to be angry.
"Dor, that's okay. Duo'er is scared this day, or the news earlier, what do we have to say tomorrow? ”
"Sir, is he busy with business? I'll sit for a while and leave, and I won't delay you. Seeing that Su You insisted on driving her away, Turandot had a rebellious mind, and actually poured himself a cup of tea, with an expression that I was going to stay here and see how you could bear me.
Su You saw that his dissuasion was ineffective, so he could only let her accompany him, but his official document could not be delayed, and after spreading out the paper and picking up the pen, he forgot that there was a second daughter next to him.
Turandot sat on the side and drank a cup of tea, and felt bored, but when he saw Su You concentrating on the side of the book, he felt that Su You was indeed handsome, so he stood up and walked to Su You's side to take a look.
Qing Jing watched Turandot walk around the study at will, and was originally a little afraid that she would be scolded by Su You, but after she saw that Su You was indifferent to this, she finally relaxed, but the sleepy insect took advantage of the weakness.
When Su You finished writing the two reports, it was nearly three watches, and when he raised his head and saw that Qingjing was still on the side, he couldn't help but say, "Qingjing, why don't you go to sleep yet?" By the way, what about the little princess? ”
Hearing Su You's words, Qing Jing almost slammed her head on the table, and she didn't know where she was in a daze.
Turandot smiled behind Su You, "I'm reading here, Qingjing, you go to sleep first." ”
"This" Qingjing came back to her senses, looked at Su You, then at Turandot, and finally nodded and left the study.
Su You came from the later generations, and Turandot came from the grassland, and neither of them realized that there was anything wrong with being alone with men and widows; Qingjing knew that the two had an affair when they were on the grassland, and seeing them thinking the same thing at this time, how could they not misunderstand them?
However, Su You and Turandot were on one side in the study, one reading and the other writing, and the two spent the night peacefully.
