Chapter 606: The Duke of the Kingdom Arrives (Asking for Support)
"Xiaolongnu has lived at the bottom of the Valley of Despair for sixteen years, and Yang Guo has been waiting for him for sixteen years. Sister, do you think, how many sixteen years can there be in life? If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have found a new love to marry and have children, but Yang Guo actually endured it bitterly, just for a vague promise sixteen years ago. For sixteen years, he was so lonely, dependent on an eagle owl......."
Tang An took a sip of tea and told "The Condor Heroes" with foaming at the mouth.
Feng Zhiyao, who had already been fascinated by what she heard, hurriedly asked, "What about the end?" ”
"Finally......" Tang An smiled: "He and the eagle came together." ”
Feng Zhiyao: "......"
Lonely men and widows are in the same room, especially women are still deeply wary of men, and the atmosphere is naturally not particularly harmonious. But there are two people in a space, and you always have to find something to do. Tang An had an idea, and told Feng Zhiyao all kinds of stories. From "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", from "Journey to the West" to "Dream of Red Mansions".
Women who have never been in love are always full of fantasies and longings for loyal love. Feng Zhiyao's expression was sad from beginning to end, and a small hand was tightly covered on her full chest because of tension, which caused Tang An to peek at her countless times. But the ending was so absurd, but her nervousness disappeared in an instant, and she suddenly felt that she no longer believed in love.
"Haha, just kidding, don't mind." Seeing Feng Zhiyao's stinky face, Tang An put down the teacup and laughed, "Later, of course, there is a lover who will eventually become a family." Guo'er found her aunt and defeated King Jinlun together, and the two returned to the ancient tomb and lived a happy life - Theend. ”
Feng Zhiyao's eyes were misty, as if she was very pleased that the two people who had gone through ups and downs could finally come together. But after thinking about it, he was puzzled: "What does 'thief' mean?" ”
Alas, people who don't know foreign languages are really troublesome to communicate.
Tang An explained: "Oh, the dialect of our hometown is the meaning of a happy ending. ”
"There are a lot of dialects in your hometown." Feng Zhiyao glanced at him, took a sip of tea lightly, and said with excitement in his eyes: "What else is the story?" Tell me about it. ”
Tang An cried and said, "Sister, you always want me to rest, right?" In one day, I told four stories. ”
Feng Zhiyao looked at the sky, it was almost dusk. Although he obviously didn't want to talk so much to this nasty ghost, but this guy's story was too fascinating, and I don't know where he heard it, the time slipped through his fingers unconsciously, and it was dinner time again.
"That'...... I'll ask someone to prepare some food, and I'll talk about it when you're full of food and drink. ”
Feng Zhiyao had just stood up, but she heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. She stiffened slightly, and hurriedly turned her head to Tang An and said, "Quick, hide!" ”
Tang Anfang was secretly annoyed, what did he do badly, he insisted on telling stories to this girl, and now he is cocooning himself, right? Feeling that her throat and eyes were on fire, she secretly planned whether to tell her two yellow jokes, which made her blush and heartbeat and no longer had the desire to listen to it. But before she could speak, she saw that she looked flustered, and even ran quickly in front of her and pushed her.
It's no wonder that Feng Zhiyao is nervous. In the Phoenix Terrace, her words are the supreme command. Since he had ordered that no one should be allowed to approach this room, he was afraid that he would not dare to go against his will if he gave them a heavenly courage. Therefore, there is only one person left who can visit at this time who is not bound by the rules.
Xie Yuan!
Tang An looked around, it was too late to hide under the bed, so he had to run to the screen next to the bed and squat down, holding his breath and listening to the movement outside.
"Zhiyao, are you there?"
A warm voice came, making Feng Zhiyao tremble with fright. Seeing that Tang An had already hidden, she barely put on a smile and hurried forward to open the door.
Xie Yuan stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back and his face as heavy as water. Under the afterglow, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be deeper, and white hair was revealed between the black silks, which was very different from the previous glamorous appearance.
Feng Zhiyao lowered her head weakly and made a blessing, and said, "I've seen my father-in-law." ”
"Hmm."
Xie Yuan didn't notice Feng Zhiyao's unnaturalness, he simply answered and entered the room full of concern.
There was no sunshine on his handsome face, his sword eyebrows twisted slightly, he looked around, and asked, "There are many worlds these days, and I haven't come to see you, how are you doing lately?" ”
Feng Zhiyao forcibly suppressed her beating heart, glanced at the screen without a trace, and said, "Thanks to my father-in-law Hongfu, Zhiyao has been fine recently." ”
Tang An's heart behind the screen was pounding, and he even stopped breathing, muttering in his heart: He is Xie Yuan?
I wanted to show my head to see the true face of this legendary person, but this screen didn't even have a hollow eye, so I could only be secretly anxious.
Xie Yuan didn't notice that there was an uninvited guest in the house, but sat down at the coffee table and said straight to the point: "I won't go around the bend anymore, I came to you today because I have something to tell you - do you know that a Tang Song and Dance Troupe has come to Linzi?" ”
Feng Zhiyao naturally knew that he was talking about Liu Tiange and his party, but she pretended to be blank and shook her head: "I haven't heard of it." ”
This reply was obviously expected by Xie Yuan. He nodded and said, "There is a yellow-haired girl known as the 'No. 1 Dancing Girl of the Tang Dynasty' with bad intentions under the guise of coming to challenge you, hehe, the first in the world, can she challenge if she wants to?" But...... This girl has a bit to do with you. ”
"Oh? How do you say that? Feng Zhiyao asked knowingly.
"It is said that she is Zhilan's personal disciple." Xie Yuandao revealed Liu Qingge's identity, glanced at Feng Zhiyao intentionally or unintentionally, and asked, "She came to Qi Kingdom, but I didn't hear the slightest rumor before. Zhiyao, why do you say this? ”
Feng Zhiyao suddenly felt cold in her hands and feet. With what he knew about Xie Yuan, the more he spoke in such a calm tone, the more angry he was in his heart. At this juncture, the smartest thing to do is not to express any opinions.
"Zhi Yao...... I don't know? ”
"Don't know? Haha, what a don't know! Xie Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, and then his face was full of hatred: "The woman I have worked so hard to cultivate has given her supreme glory and status, and made her a phoenix that the whole world has to worship." But in just ten years, she has forgotten all about this kindness! I said back then that I would give her freedom after ten years, but if the general situation is difficult to understand today, at such an important juncture, a song and dance troupe from Datang inexplicably came to the territory of Qi State, and she pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not say a word! What's more, the woman who came to challenge was still her only apprentice! Zhiyao, should I be very her? ”
He did not mention Feng Zhilan's name, but used an extremely unfamiliar "she" to vent his dissatisfaction. Relatives become passers-by, and what they change is not sadness, but hatred.
Feng Zhiyao, who was familiar with his ruthless style, swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice, "Maybe...... Sister Lan has something to do......"
"Do you believe such an excuse?" Xie Yuan glanced at her, but thinking about this kind of question, Feng Zhiyao was indeed difficult to give an answer, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "No matter what, it was she Feng Zhilan who lost me." In that case, she can't blame me! ”
Xie Yuan had murderous aura in his eyes, and with an unintentional glance, he found that there were two cups on the coffee table!
With a smile on his face that didn't mean anything, he suddenly asked, "Zhiyao, have you been ...... lately?" Has anyone been here? ”
Feng Zhiyao followed his gaze and suddenly felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest! I was secretly annoyed by my negligence, but gritted my teeth and said: "Zhiyao has always lived in a simple place, who can come?" The father-in-law is too careful. ”
Xie Yuan didn't seem to want to stay on this issue for longer, but glanced at Feng Zhiyao deeply, and the latter felt furious in his heart, and avoided his gaze that seemed to be able to see everything.
People who can't lie and it's hard to hide it from the eyes of those who have a heart. But with her soft personality on the outside and the inside, since she chose to lie, I am afraid she will not easily confide in the answer.
After a long time, Xie Yuan sighed, stood up and said, "Those Tang people are very restless, and they actually spread the intention of challenging to the emperor's ears. But you don't have to worry, you just need to be the master of your Fengmen sect in an instant, and that's enough. I'll take care of everything else, understand? ”
Feng Zhiyao bowed slightly and said, "I respectfully follow my father's orders." ”
Xie Yuan sighed slightly, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
Feng Zhiyao could never imagine what kind of pressure the person who shouldered the mission of rejuvenating the country would under. When the Linzi Mansion conveyed the meaning of Liu Qingge to the imperial court, the emperor was extremely excited to open his mouth and agree. The king, who had long been hollowed out by the short-lived peace, had sunk in his depravity, and no longer had the pride and ambition of previous generations of monarchs. And those wastes who only know how to slap horses can no longer express a single voice of doubt except pandering.
They didn't doubt the purpose of the challenge group, they didn't know that the male lion lying next to them was scarred, they didn't know that the Tang people might have laid a dangerous trap for them, they only knew that they were comfortable and happy.
Xie Yuan, who was under great pressure, immediately vetoed this meaningless challenge, at least for Daqi, accepting this challenge would not bring any benefits, it would only fall for the tricks of the Tang people.
But what did he get in exchange for his dedication to the country? The emperor's displeasure, the cynicism of a group of ministers led by Liu Gong, and the dissatisfaction of the people.
But he didn't care, he knew that he was the only sober person in the entire Qi country. This country he loved was terminally ill!
"I still have a lot of work to attend to, so I can't stay here for long."
Xie Yuan sighed deeply and walked out of the door with some interest. But when he opened the door, he paused again, turned his head and glanced at Feng Zhiyao again, and said meaningfully: "I have completely lost Feng Zhilan, and I have lost decades of hard work in vain. Zhiyao, you won't let me down, will you? ”
Somehow, when Xie Yuan's eyes touched, Feng Zhiyao felt stiff, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Father-in-law, Zhiyao will definitely not." ”
Xie Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and finally showed a smile. But when he stepped out of the threshold, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
Back on the carriage, Xie Yuan's face was extremely gloomy. said to the ghost sitting on the opposite side of the carriage: "Find someone for me to closely monitor Feng Zhiyao's every move!" ”
Ghost's face was still pale, and in the dark eyes, a pair of eagle-like eyes were mocking, and he smiled: "What, the woman you trust the most has become no longer trustworthy?" ”
Thinking about the two teacups on the table, and then thinking about her hasty appearance, Xie Yuan suddenly felt a little pathetic. Why do the people around you betray you one after another? Why don't they wonder where everything they get comes from?
Xie Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he felt even more angry. It's just that it is a top priority, Feng Zhiyao must not move. Not to mention that the arrival of the Tang Song and Dance Troupe has pushed this national goddess to the forefront, and her status is in jeopardy, and she also needs to hold this card that the court can have a significant influence in the market.
He looked out the window and sighed, "If it's possible, I don't want to." But now, I desperately need an answer! Even if I destroy her with my own hands in the future, I can tell her frankly that I am not the one who caused all this, and I ......."
