Chapter Seventy-Six: Heaven's Will Is Hard to Disobey (Part II)
The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the stars reflect the mountains.
In the deep mountains, the temple is like a flame swaying in the wind.
Lan Qing and Hongyu walked side by side on the mountain road, and behind them, the armor soldiers of the Tianwu Army and several maidservants followed from a distance, as if they didn't want to disturb them. The long mountain road leads through the mountains and water to the distance, but Lan Qing and Hongyu know in their hearts that they can only walk around on this mountain road that is a hundred zhang away, if it is farther, I am afraid that the armor and maidservants behind them will not just follow.
"Let's go back." Lan Qing said softly, looking at the rugged road that was still spreading and disappearing into the darkness with some reluctance.
Hongyu nodded slightly, they were guests in this Stacked Mountain Courtyard, and they had been walking around outside since they first arrived, and they were not in a proper manner after all. However, the female dependents in this courtyard didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and they wanted to come out, but they didn't send anyone to stop them, but just let a few Tianwu Army armor soldiers accompany them to protect them.
Walking slowly down the mountain, before I reached the courtyard of the stacked mountains, I could already hear the ethereal sound of the piano slowly drifting out from within the white wall, accompanied by the sound of gurgling water and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves. Lan Qing and Hongyu are both insiders, and when they glanced at each other, they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
They asked themselves that they would not have been able to reach this state without ten years of hard work.
The surrounding mountains and rivers seem to merge with the sound of the piano, regardless of each other. Even if you close your eyes and listen to this sound, you can outline the outline of the surrounding green mountains. And there is a rare agitation in the sound of the piano, just like the arrogant Feihong between the mountains and white clouds, leaving only a beautiful shadow, but it can amaze the world for a hundred years.
"I have long heard that Sister Qiqin of the Ye family pressed Lin'an, and I think I heard it today." Lan Qing sighed softly, Qiqin's reputation is spreading even in this remote Tongshan County, and the amazing piano skills are finally heard today.
"Let's go and see." Hongyu tugged at Lan Qing's sleeve.
A fresh breeze blew in their faces, and both of them were silent.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The Stacked Mountain Courtyard is actually not big, but when Xie Fang chose this house at that time, he didn't bother to think about it, from the mountain road, he could only vaguely see the front yard of the Stacked Mountain Courtyard, and the entire backyard was covered by trees, with a hint of mystery.
Lan Qing and Hongyu walked side by side through the small front yard, the sound of the piano accompanied by the flickering candles in the lanterns on the road. The sound of the piano did not reject people thousands of miles away, but lured them to move forward.
From the front yard to the backyard, not a single maid came out to stop them, but just stood there quietly, and what they were guarding was the road leading to the backyard water pavilion. The distant sound of the piano grew louder and louder as the path extended, echoing between the white walls and black tiles.
Even the maidservants, who didn't know much about music, had a look of fascination on their faces.
In fact, Qiqin does not often come to the water pavilion in the backyard, because from Lin'an drunken spring breeze to Xing** Yefu, there is no such actually very common water pavilion, although the drunken spring breeze is backed by the West Lake, but because in order to prevent any unspeakable accidents, it is blocked by a high wall. And Xing** Yefu is because there is already a water pavilion, and there is a feeling of being too much to come to the water pavilion again.
However, Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu came with news from Tongshan County, which made Qiqin and Lu Wanyan dare not be careless, and Bell and a group of maids have already cleaned up and down the water pavilion.
Several maids stood quietly outside the water pavilion, and as soon as Lan Qing and Hong Yufu appeared, they bowed slightly respectfully, and then lifted the Luo Sha in front of them.
The sound of the piano did not become harsh when it was close, but it took on a soft and gentle attitude in the excitement of Qingyue, and Lan Qing and Hongyu walked forward slowly.
The plain-clothed woman plays the piano by the railing, with only one back.
On the contrary, another handsome girl who didn't look very old looked at them with a slight smile, and casually added another handful of incense to the incense burner, and the fire reflected the crimson sleeves, which was really red sleeves. In addition, the water on the small stove had just boiled, and the four teacups were already lined up on the small table.
The girl nodded slightly at Lan Qing and Hongyu, and naturally lifted the teapot on the stove on one side, and the tea drew a white arc with the hot air on her face, and swept into the teacup, where the tea leaves were already placed, and the fragrance could already be smelled from a distance.
The last cup of tea was poured, and not a drop of water leaked.
And the sound of the piano gradually dissipated, and finally merged with the night and the wind.
"You may be seated." Lu Wanyan put down the teapot, made a gesture of please to Lan Qing and Hongyu, and sat down leisurely on the side, casually picking up the book that had been on the table, but it was a copy of Lu Yu's "Book of Tea".
The piano is over.
Qiqin turned around slowly, and in an instant, both Lan Qing and Hongyu couldn't help but hold their breath.
It seemed that she had already realized that the two girls would react like this, Qiqin just smiled undeniably: "In this Stacked Mountain Courtyard, the concubine and Sister Lu are also guests, and they borrow flowers to offer Buddha here, and ask the two of them to forgive their sins." β
Taking a breath gently, Lan Qing said with a wry smile: "I have heard of my sister's name for a long time, and when I see it today, I am indeed shocked, and I hope that my sister will forgive her sins for a while." β
Qiqin walked over: "This is not a solemn place, please feel free to sit down, Lord Xie is also a good bookmaker, there are a lot of books on the bookshelf over there." There is tea on the table, a piano on the table, accompanied by the mountain wind and bright moon, a good scenery. β
Hongyu frowned slightly, and then laughed softly: "Sister is very interested. β
"Life is too short, so you should enjoy this moment." Qiqin was already smiling slightly, and her sleeves brushed over, as if she came out casually.
I don't know why Qiqin would say such careless words, Lu Wanyan wisely chose to be silent, but Lan Qing and Hongyu were shocked. Lu Wanyan was born in a large family, so she naturally can't understand that these people who have had a lowly and hard life, as a singer in a green building, she is destined to be displaced in a wealthy family in this life, and it is indeed a great blessing in life to be able to find a moment of leisure and leisure, without intrigue.
Lan Qing and Hongyu were silent, the wind blew through Qiqin's plain clothes, and the sleeves were flying, like fairies from Lingbo, with an unattainable loneliness.
Lu Wanyan looked at Lan Qing and Hongyu's silent appearance, and knew that Qiqin's aura was too powerful, but she couldn't be blamed for this, after all, she had always been like this when she was drunk in the spring breeze as an oiran, otherwise it would not have made a heroic figure like Ye Yingwu fall for it.
With a shallow smile, Lu Wanyan stepped forward, personally pulled Lan Qing and Hongyu's sleeves to let them sit down, and laughed softly: "Although the two sisters sit down, there are no outsiders hereγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Before the words fell, not only Lan Qing and Hongyu, but even Lu Wanyan's face couldn't help but turn red. No outsiders? Lan Qing and Hongyu can be regarded as having a common hardship with Jiang Hao and Wang Jin no matter how they think about it, so after this incident, the two of them will return to Wang Jin and Jiang Hao, which can be regarded as an amphibious double residence of mandarin ducks, which is already a tacit thing for everyone.
And with the relationship between Jiang Hao, Wang Jin and Ye Yingwu, it is indeed not far-fetched to say that it is a family. On the contrary, it is she Lu Wanyan, although she is Lu Xiufu's sister, but with the relationship between Lu Xiufu and Ye Yingwu, it shouldn't be called a family, right?
Qiqin had a slightly playful look in her eyes, and said softly: "What the sister of the Lu family said is not wrong, there are no outsiders here, why be so polite?" At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, and it was inevitable that the husband would fight outside in the future, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of you and my sisters when they get together like this. β
Lan Qing and Hongyu nodded slightly, obviously consciously ignoring the meaning of Qiqin's words, and just looked at Qiqin and Lu Wanyan with a little puzzlement. And Lu Wanyan is also a smart person, so naturally she heard that Qiqin's words had a different meaning, and the blush on her pretty face couldn't help but deepen, but she was secretly shocked in her heart.
What does Sister Qin mean by putting on such a posture?
But when she met Qiqin's gaze, she found that her eyes were still as clear and bright as ever, and there was a faint mixture of encouragement and expectation.
Feeling the slightly strange atmosphere between the two people, Lan Qing and Hongyu couldn't help but glance at each other, and seeing Hongyu bowing slightly, Lan Qing asked softly: "Both of them are smart people in Bingxue, and the little woman is not talented, what do you think of Jiazhi County in Tongshan County this time?" Lord Ye is a young talent, but can he really give the people a clear sky? β
Lan Qing and Hongyu were slightly uneasy and expectant with expressions that fell into the eyes of Lu Wanyan and Qiqin, the two looked at each other and smiled, as expected, Lan Qing and Hongyu still had a knot in their hearts that had not been opened, maybe it was not a big deal, but it was just difficult to tell Ye Yingwu.
After all, Jia Yufeng's obscenity has shrouded Tongshan County for too long, so that the people of Tongshan County can't help but think of him when they do anything, even in this situation, it is difficult to avoid it. Everyone knows that if Jia Yufeng is allowed to turn over, it will really be a dead place.
No one wants to gamble with their lives, just like Mr. Zhang.
But γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Qiqin looked at Lan Qing and Hongyu with a slight smile, but was silent.
But, you two, I'm afraid there is no way out, right?
Lu Wanyan unhurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip slightly, and Lan Qing and Hongyu's hearts gradually rose. Seeing that the two of them were a little nervous, Qiqin waved her sleeves lightly and said lightly: "Both, but what else do you want to say?" Jia Yufeng is acting against the sky, he should be a capital crime, what objection is there? From Cixi to Macheng, wherever the Tianwu army goes, is there anything else that can stop it? β
Lan Qing and Hongyu were like thunderbolts, stunned on the spot.
Qiqin just looked at the two of them with a smile and said no more. And Lu Wanyan was a little bored flipping through the "Book of Tea" in her hand, but it seemed that her fun was not in turning the book, but in listening to the rustling sound of the book, accompanied by the sound of the wind and the fragrance of tea, which was extraordinarily leisurely.
Qiqin's words couldn't have been clearer, conforming to the destiny of heaven and being invincible.
Jia Yufeng was ambushed, and the will of heaven was difficult to disobey.
"Destiny?" Looking at the red jade beside him with difficulty, Lan Qing's heart was tighter instead of loosening. The official saint, shouldn't he be the heaven of this Great Song Dynasty? But there is no holy decree issued, could it be that γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Qiqin is a person who has wandered in the red dust of Lin'an City, if she wants to say that she is sensitive to these, she should be far better than Lan Qing and Hongyu, but this time, what does she mean?
The Mandate of Heaven, you must know that the Tianwu Army also begins with "Heaven".
Ruby seemed to understand something.
Heaven is intolerable, and the will of heaven is inviolable, this "heaven" is not only the "heaven" of the official family, but also the avenue of thousands of years.
With a long sigh of relief, Lan Qing said softly: "Little sister deserves to dieγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Qiqin and Lu Wanyan took a soft breath almost at the same time.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Ye Yingwu walked slowly in the courtyard of the county office.
The cold moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone slab, also on the branches and leaves, and even on Yang Bao's body behind Ye Yingwu.
However, Yang Bao stood between the darkness and the light, just vigilantly looking at the tall and low eaves and roof tiles around him with a sharp gaze like an eagle, as if there were too many unknowns and enemies hidden in the darkness, allowing Ye Yingwu to pace back and forth in the courtyard, Yang Bao just stood silently.
Ye Yingwu stopped his pace, glanced at Yang Bao quietly, and immediately smiled bitterly, Yang Bao is indeed a veritable veteran oilman, and he is self-aware of his strategy, so no matter what Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu are discussing or what Ye Yingwu himself is thinking, he remains silent like this, and never expresses even a single word of opinion.
For Yang Bao, to protect Ye Yingwu well, Ye Yingwu will be promoted to the rank of official, in fact, he himself will naturally soar, so there is no need to say anything at all, this is definitely the safest but no one can stop it.
glanced at Yang Bao meaningfully, Ye Yingwu still took a breath of helplessness, turned around and walked straight into the house.
Yang Bao hesitated for a moment, then raised his steps and followed Ye Yingwu closely.
"Let's get a good night's sleep, don't be so nervous." Ye Yingwu laughed softly, although Yang Bao did not report it, but with Ye Yingwu's keenness, he could naturally see that in the darkness outside the courtyard, there was a Tianwu soldier standing solemnly.
Yang Bao wanted to speak again and again, but finally nodded slightly.
Seeing what Yang Bao wanted to say but held back, Ye Yingwu already knew that Yang Bao would not really be so obedient, in fact, in this case, most of the guards would not listen to orders, after all, the stakes were very high, and Ye Yingwu's safety was also related to their net worth. Ye Yingwu walked up to Yang Bao with deep meaning, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed softly:
"Actually, if you can put someone in, it's not bad, isn't it?"
Yang Bao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Qiyu envoy, it's not that his subordinates are timid, but he is really worried about the safety of the envoy." β
Knowing that Yang Bao was really worried about his three-legged cat's kung fu, Ye Yingwu couldn't deny that he just smiled, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes were still bright in the dark, and he looked at Yang Bao quietly, as if to say, this is an opportunity that we can't let go.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Yang Bao nodded helplessly, such a boss who doesn't know martial arts and is so bold can only be said to be his own life, from the head of Cixi City to the town inn to the foot of Macheng, Yang Bao followed Ye Yingwu from birth to death, it can be said that he has been protecting him twice and three times, and he has almost touched the skills of this boss.
Since he has decided, it means that he has already made a conclusion in his heart, and often these conclusions are always correct. Yang Bao was not afraid to meet Ye Yingwu's even a little cold gaze, nodded slightly, and only said after a while: "Envoy, the last general has no objection, but please be careful with the envoy, the last general will be outside with a hundred battles." β
Using Ye Yingwu as bait to lure people out in the darkγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Yang Bao took a deep breath of the slightly cold night breeze, after this decision was made, he regretted it a little, if Lu Xiufu or Wen Tianxiang or even Xie Fang were here, he could speak out to stop him, but he was the only one here, to be honest, Yang Bao couldn't think of any other way to stop Ye Yingwu, the thing that the boss had decided, with his stubborn temper, it was not Yang Bao who could stop it, so Yang Bao simply didn't stop it.
As long as the perimeter is not leaked, it doesn't matter if there are no guards inside. Yang Bao could only comfort himself like this, and he hadn't recovered from the words he had promised Ye Yingwu just now.
And Ye Yingwu just solemnly patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked into the house.
Yang Bao quietly looked at Ye Yingwu's distant figure and sighed softly.
