Chapter 60: Centrifugal Night
Yuan Chen was angry, but he was tightly pressed under Wu Ruojie for a long time before he could breathe, his face was flushed, and he gasped: "It's really not serious, when is it, still messing around like this?" ”
"Ha, you make a serious appearance, not only is it not serious at all, but it is even more shy." Wu Ruojie stared at Yuan Chen's thick eyelashes carefully and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Yuan Chen's face was not only redder, but also felt hot, lowered his head, his eyes wandered to the side, and pouted: "I hate it, so ridicule people." ”
"How dare I, my little aunt." Wu Ruojie sat up with a smile, pulled Yuan Chen up, took him into his arms, and said with a smile, "Looking at the way you pout, it's really unbearable." ”
"It's a little bit of a tongue." Yuan Chen was coquettish on his lips, but he was very comfortable in his heart, and said with a smile, "Do you confess this to every woman?" ”
After Wu Ruojie heard this, he hurriedly put up three fingers and said with a solemn face: "Huang Tian is above, if Wu has two hearts, let me fight the ......" As he was speaking, Yuan Chen suddenly covered his mouth and persuaded him: "Don't talk nonsense like this." ”
Wu Ruojie took the opportunity to stroking Yuan Chen's hand and said with a smile: "If it weren't for that, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe it." ”
"I believe it, can't I believe it?" Yuan Chen hurriedly said, seeing that Wu Ruojie smiled and did not say anything, and no longer swore poisonously, he slowly lowered his hand and sighed softly.
"What's wrong?" Wu Ruojie hurriedly asked, "So sad?" ”
"Alas," Yuan Chen glanced at him and muttered, "Seeing my sisters so sad, I don't have the good mood I had when I came." ”
Wu Ruojie hugged her shoulders and persuaded with a smile: "Everything is prosperous and must decline, Zangchun Pavilion and Tian Wan are like this, don't force it." ”
"But, what is the relationship between Tian Wan and you?" Yuan Chen finally asked the question in his heart, "It seems that he is very afraid of you." ”
"I'm not the only one he's afraid of." Wu Ruojie said, "Isn't that General Li like a puppy when he calls him?" ”
"yes, what is their relationship? It's puzzling. Yuan Chen lowered his head, as if thoughtful.
"What? Are you so interested in the relationship between these people? Wu Ruojie asked with a smile.
Yuan Chen raised his head, stared at his smiling eyes, and exclaimed, "What? Do you know? ”
"If you want to hear it, I might as well tell you." Wu Ruojie said, glanced at the door vigilantly, and then gently knocked on the wall next to the bed, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he lowered his voice and said, "The person called General Li is actually Li Zicheng's subordinate, named Li Jia." ”
"No wonder I felt that the guests I visited today were different from the past as soon as I entered the Zangchun Pavilion, it turned out to be Li Zicheng and their group of peasant soldiers." Yuan Chen was surprised, "But, how do you know in such detail?" ”
Wu Ruojie glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said, "I know that in this era, under the banner of Wu Sangui, sooner or later I will have a head-to-head showdown with Li Zicheng." Therefore, I have been paying close attention to his movements, and his every move has been reported to me at any time. This time, Li Jia went from southwest Shaanxi to my Jiangnan, in fact, on the surface, he was under the name of buying weapons, but in fact, he was ordered by Wu Sangui to come to look for beauties. Especially the fame of Zangchun Pavilion, they will not let it go. In fact, I have also paid attention to them since I entered the Tibetan Spring Pavilion, especially their words and demeanor, which revealed their identities, coupled with Tian Wan's title and respect, I am sure that this person is Li Jia. ”
"Oh? And you're going to take them to our station? Wouldn't that discourage them? Yuan Chen said worriedly.
"Hmph, if I don't sweep their interest, they will sweep my interest." Wu Ruojie sneered, "According to the eyeliner report, they spent a lot of money to collect the entire Zangchun Pavilion. You know, I'm going to hand over the Zangchun Pavilion to you to take care of, if they take it in, won't it ruin my interest? ”
"If they want, let them ask for it. It's okay with me, don't ...... for me" Yuan Chen just said this, but was stopped by Wu Ruojie raising his hand and said, "No, to be honest, it's not entirely for you." Remember the night I killed Zhao Qiuping, right? ”
"How?" When Yuan Chen heard Wu Ruojie say this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't talk back, so he had to follow the topic and ask.
"Actually, that night, I had a sentence that was false." Wu Ruojie said.
"Which one?" Yuan Chen was stunned.
"It was me and Liu Ming who said that the abduction of the woman was the suggestion of the villain. Actually, no, I did it alone. I kidnapped women, in fact, so that I don't want to do it in the future. Wu Ruojie said.
"You...... What exactly are you for? Yuan Chen's eyes widened and asked, at this time, she suddenly felt that the person in front of her was no longer the Wu Ruojie she was familiar with, Wu Ruojie's thoughts, those thoughts hidden deep in her heart, once she knew it, could only make her feel more terrible about this person. yes, after all, she didn't know him very well. Her love for him is only because of those few face-to-face photos.
Wu Ruojie glanced at Yuan Chen and smiled, this smile seemed to be to ease the atmosphere, but it was even more difficult for Yuan Chen to accept. But the next words made her even more creepy. "First, it is for the morale of the sergeants; Second, it is to meet Li Zicheng or the Qing soldiers later, and the resistance is not outdated, and it is used for self-protection. ”
"What?" Yuan Chen was taken aback.
Wu Ruojie stroked her hand lightly, and said: "I asked you to help me take care of the Zangchun Pavilion, this is the intention, if you can develop a few women like you 'Qin Huai Bayan', it would be really good." With such a precious woman, I can also seek self-protection under a strong enemy, and seek a half-official position. ”
"You ......" Yuan Chen raised his hand and pointed at it, and said angrily, "I want you to be a hero in troubled times, how can you say such a thing?" ”
"Me? Heroes in troubled times? Wu Ruojie smiled, "Outsiders think I am Wu Sangui, but in fact I am just Wu Ruojie, if it wasn't for your grenade, how could I have landed here?" But since God can give me this opportunity, of course I have to take advantage of it. How can I follow the old path of Wu Sangui in history, and be enemies everywhere, but I focus on everywhere, and I have won a lot of infamy. I can be able, if I want to be tough, but I can't do anything, so it's better to take one master and submit to it, so that it seems to be loyal and benevolent, and leave a good reputation, so as not to end up with Wu Sangui in history and fighting for years in his later years. ”
After hearing this, Yuan Chen's mouth opened even wider. "You...... You mean, you're going to go against history? ”
"History?" Wu Ruojie sneered, "History is a matter of the past, and the past of the time I am in now is only the last years of the Ming Dynasty." Who can say what the future of my Wu Sangui is? No one can say that I can only create it myself. ”
"But ......" Yuan Chen frowned, and suddenly remembered what the blind old man said to her at the beginning, "Everything is already destined by God." She was just about to talk about this past, but Wu Ruojie asked: "For the sake of women, I am willing to spend all my savings during this time, which can be said to be exhaustive." Especially you, do you know how much money I spent for you? ”
"How much?" Yuan Chen was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Ten thousand taels of gold." Wu Ruojie said.
"What?" Yuan Chen was taken aback. Wu Ruojie nodded and added, "That is, 100,000 taels of silver." Do you think Zhao Qiuping redeemed you? How could he have that courage. How could Tian Wan give him the face of an ordinary businessman? If it weren't for my identity and the price was in place, how would Tian Wan be willing to let him go? That's why he was so respectful and scared when he saw me, because I was his biggest customer. ”
"You...... It cost 100,000 taels...... Silver? Yuan Chen didn't pay attention to anything else, just dwelled on it, and even stuttered a little, but it wasn't because of the amount of money, as for why, she didn't know.
"Converted to the money of our time, it should be about 20 million ......" Wu Ruojie continued his conversion.
"Enough!" Yuan Chen suddenly let out a low snort.
Wu Ruojie was stunned for a moment, saw Yuan Chenliu's eyebrows slightly raised, and his eyebrows were slightly erected, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yuan Chen was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Are you ...... Show off to me? ”
"I, I didn't mean that." Wu Ruojie's eyes widened and said, "I'm just telling the truth." ”
"If you were really in trouble yourself, would you sacrifice me to protect yourself?" Yuan Chen ignored the other party's explanation, and still asked to himself.
"Oh? I...... I won't, how could I? Wu Ruojie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly denied.
"Won't? Then why are you hesitating? Why stutter? Yuan Chen suddenly raised his head, stared straight into Wu Ruojie's eyes, and asked.
"Where do I have?" Wu Ruojie sneered.
"I finally got it." Yuan Chen said.
"What do you understand?" Wu Ruojie frowned and asked.
"I see." Yuan Chen said, "I and those women are actually the same, if there is no difference, it is only the value." But no matter how much we are worth, we are valuable people, not priceless treasures. If the master is in trouble, no matter how valuable it is, he will give up valuable things. ”
"You, why do you think that?" Wu Ruojie frowned and asked.
"Don't you know what you just said?" Yuan Chen shook his head and said, "These words...... It chills my heart. ”
"Yuan Chen, Yuan Chen." Wu Ruojie hurriedly said, "I may be talking a little more on a whim, don't think about it." Especially your worth, which has nothing to do with what I said before. ”
"Forget it," Yuan Chen's eyes turned red, and he shook his head, "I thought that you, as Wu Sangui, admired Chen Yuanyuan's reputation, so you did everything possible to get 'her'." Looking at it now, it is just a commodity, a plaything. As long as the price is fair, you can afford it, or it is easy to buy. ”
"You ......" Wu Ruojie was speechless for a while, stayed for a while, and twisted his head to the side hatefully.
Yuan Chen also stopped talking, and sat on the other side, crying alone.
Wu Ruojie sat stunned for a while, got up suddenly, and blew out the candle on the table. Turning around and lying on the bed, he turned his back to Yuan Chen, as if he had fallen asleep.
Yuan Chen turned his head to look at him, shook his head and sighed, sobbing and choking, tears becoming more and more suffocating.
The moonlight outside the window is bright, but it shows the misery of the sad people in front of the window.
I don't know how long he sat there, Yuan Chen leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep. Hearing the sound of heavy breathing, Wu Ruojie got up and glanced at her, shook his head, sighed, gently put her down on the bed, and gently covered her with a quilt. Then he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the soft face with pity.
Nothing was said all night. When Yuan Chen got up in the early morning, he suddenly found that he and Wu Ruojie had switched places. At this moment, she was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, but Wu Ruojie was lying on the side of the bed, snoring soundly. If she had seen this situation a few years ago, Yuan Chen would have cried, but now, although she felt uncomfortable, she had no tears to shed. Wu Ruojie, Wu Ruojie, what kind of person are you? What heart do you have for me? Is it as simple as putting on a quilt? What if you have experienced the moment of life and death? Wait, wait, wait, it's not like they haven't experienced the moment of life and death. When that explosive wave rushed in, didn't Wu Ruojie block her with his body? Isn't that why she fell in love with him? Isn't that the reason why she has been looking for him for a long time and is so depressed? But now, when I see him, I seem to have lost my heart. Could it be that the heart is messy and scattered with the messiness of this era? She didn't know. She could only sigh, feeling extremely sad in her heart.
Just thinking about it, Wu Ruojie's shoulders trembled, he got up, glanced at Yuan Chen sleepily, and said with a smile: "Are you awake?" ”
Yuan Chen ignored him and wanted to get up and get out of bed.
"Are you still mad at me?" Wu Ruojie smiled and hurriedly handed her shoes forward.
Yuan Chen was silent, put on his shoes, walked to the basin, fetched a basin of water, and washed his face.
Wu Ruojie stood behind her curtly and said, "When I go back to the Changzhou Mansion in a while, I will be accompanied by Li Jia and others on the way, the situation is dangerous, let's act when we have the opportunity." ”
"What's sinister?" Yuan Chen wiped his face and said mockingly, "Wouldn't giving me out keep you safe?" ”
"Are you still finished?" Wu Ruojie suddenly became angry, shouted, slammed the door, and walked out of the room.
The towel in Yuan Chen's hand slowly slid down to her feet, and she suddenly regretted her unrelenting.
At this moment, Tian Wan walked in, looked back at Wu Ruojie who was going out, and respectfully hugged his fist to Yuan Chen and said, "Miss Chen, it is estimated that you will be on the road in a while." You and General Wu ......"
"Okay, I don't need you to tell me." Yuan Chen poured all his anger on Tian Wan's head and reprimanded, "We are free to arrange." ”
"Yes, yes," Tian Wan respectfully, took a few steps back, and flashed out the door.
Yuan Chen lingered for a while, and had no choice but to walk out the door.
There were already several tall horses lined up in the courtyard, Wu Ruojie was standing in the middle at this time, talking to Li Jia, when he saw Yuan Chen coming, not only did he not greet him, but walked away, picked a group of tall horses, and flew to ride. Li Jia was the opposite, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yo, sister-in-law has taken away the makeup that covers her today, and she looks even more shy and pink." ”
Yuan Chen was secretly taken aback after hearing this, it turned out that the makeup used to cover up when she came to the Zangchun Pavilion yesterday was accidentally washed off when she washed her face in the morning, revealing her delicate and soft face. If this is entangled by Li Jia, who came to Jiangnan with a special mission, it is really not good. Thinking of this, she peeked at Wu Ruojie.
I saw Wu Ruojie's eyebrows upside down, his tiger eyes widened, and his right hand began to unconsciously rub the golden ring on his left thumb. (To be continued.) )
