Chapter Forty-Eight: Peaks and Loops

Prior to this, Xie An had thought a lot about Liang Qiuwu's reaction after learning about his relationship with his eldest grandson Xiangyu.

Based on his understanding of Liangqiu Dance, he thought that this woman would probably draw her sword and face each other, but he was wrong, she just looked at him like that, looking at him silently......

"Xiangyu ......" Xie An turned his head and glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

With the wisdom of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, how could he not understand what Xie An meant, nodded, and left obediently, leaving only Liang Qiuwu and Xie An.

The departure of the eldest grandson Xiangyu seemed to be some kind of signal, and the wetness in Liang Qiuwu's eyes finally broke the embankment, and tears couldn't stop dripping down her face.

"Dance ......" Xie An's face showed a little panic, and he quickly stood up, sat next to Liang Qiuwu, and gently hugged her.

Who would have thought that Liang Qiu Wu, one of the highest combat forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the head of the [Four Ji], would cry like an ordinary woman.

"I'm sorry, Mai, I'm not ......" Xie An's face was full of guilt, and he looked apologetically at the woman in his arms.

I don't know how long it took, Liang Qiu Wu let out a long breath, her heaving chest gradually stabilized, and she whispered, "Let go of my ......"

"Don't let it go!" Xie An shook his head.

"I told you to let go of me!" Liang Qiuwu's tone became much tougher.

"No!" Xie An still shook his head.

"......" Liang Qiuwu raised his head, looked at Xie An coldly, gritted his teeth at Xie An, and said in a low voice, "An, I don't want to hurt you...... Let me go! ”

"No!" Xie An shook his head, and instead hugged his arms tightly.

"What exactly do you want to do?" With a low roar, Liang Qiuwu struggled hard, and when he missed, his elbow hit Xie An's left ribs, although Xie An had been prepared, he was still hit by this blow and flew backwards for several feet, his back slammed against the wall behind him, and he gasped in pain.

"Ann?" Liang Qiuwu was shocked. Hurriedly stood up, ran to Xie An's side in a few steps, squatted down and said urgently, "You...... Are you alright, Ann? I...... I'm not ......."

Looking at the panicked expression on Liang Qiuwu's face, Xie An smiled bitterly and said with a smile, "Is there a mistake?" Auntie? Can't you just pretend to struggle twice? Why do you work so hard? As he spoke, he clutched his ribs with a painful look on his face and said bitterly, "Good fellow, it hurts me to death, my ribs seem to be broken......"

The anger in Liang Qiuwu's eyes had long been replaced by panic, and she helped Xie An up while hurriedly defending, "I...... It just used a little bit of force, just one percent. It's really just a force, I really didn't expect to hurt you......"

Looking at the Liangqiu dance for a while. Xie An opened his mouth and said with a wry smile, "In fact, your words are more lethal......"

"What?" Liang Qiuwu looked at Xie An suspiciously.

"......" waved his hand, Xie An pointed to the long wooden chair on the side of the room, and said, "Can you help me there first?" I feel. I can't stand up for the time being......"

"Oh......" Liang Qiu Wu nodded repeatedly, obediently like a child who knew that he had done something wrong.

With a grunting gasp, Xie An was aided by Liang Qiu Wu. Walked to the long wooden chair on the side of the room and sat down, looking at the guilt in Liang Qiuwu's eyes, Xie An chuckled and said, "It's much better than last time, right?" - Last time you kicked me, I broke three ribs, and I lay down for several days after returning to the palace......"

Looking at Xie An's exaggerated expression, Liang Qiuwu couldn't help laughing, and then said with a straight face, "Who told you to do such a dirty thing to me at that time...... Have only oneself to blame! ”

"Yes, yes......" Xie An nodded with a smile.

"Does it still hurt? I really didn't mean to, I ...... I warned you, I ......" At this point, Liang Qiuwu's voice stopped abruptly because her lips were gagged by Xie An's mouth.

This sudden attack made Liang Qiuwu's whole person tense.

I don't know how long it took, Liang Qiuwu gently pushed Xie An away, lowered his head, and muttered, "You...... Do you really want to marry her? ”

"Uh...... Hmm......" Xie An nodded slowly, and slowly hugged Liang Qiu Wu.

After a moment of silence, Liang Qiu Wu let out a long sigh and said in a somewhat trembling voice, "I understand......

"No, you don't understand!"

"......" Liang Qiuwu raised his head and looked at Xie An with a little disappointment, a little sadness, and a little puzzlement.

Seeing this, Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, if you really understand, then tell me, what do you understand?" ”

Liang Qiuwu bit her lip when she heard this, lowered her head and said, "It's you who want to marry her, it's different from me forcing you to marry me......"

"I knew it!" Xie An sighed angrily, held Liang Qiu Wu's face with both hands, looked at her beautiful eyes, and said seriously and seriously, "Wu, it wasn't you who forced me to marry you at that time, it was I who wanted to marry you!" ”

"......" Liang Qiuwu looked at Xie An in surprise.

"If you don't hear clearly, I'll say it again, it's not that you forced me to marry you, so I married you, but I want to marry you, okay?"

"Really...... Target? ”

"Ahh Xie An nodded and said seriously, "Maybe I am a little cowardly and a little unambitious when you come, but I want to tell you that if I don't agree with myself, no one can make me give in and compromise!" ――Do you remember the first time we quarreled? ”

Liang Qiuwu was slightly stunned, looked at Xie An in distraction, and nodded slowly.

"So, I wasn't forced to marry you because I was afraid of you, but I volunteered...... God, I don't understand how you could think that? -- Being able to marry you is something that many people dream of! ”

"You...... Is it too? ”

"Of course!"

Looking at Xie An's sworn expression, Liang Qiuwu's heart warmed, and he slowly hugged Xie An, but he didn't want Xie An to gasp.

"Wow, wow, wow, ......"

"What's wrong?" Liang Qiuwu was stunned, only then did he realize that Xie An's right hand was holding his ribs, he was shocked, his eyes showed a strong look of guilt, and he said in a voice, "I'm sorry, An, I really didn't mean to, I just had a gaffe, I ...... I'm too excited......"

"It's okay, it's okay, I know......" Nodding and saying, Xie An held Liang Qiuwu's hand and said softly, "Wu, for the sake of me who may have broken a few ribs, can you listen to me?" ”

"Hmm......" Liang Qiu Wu nodded,

"That's it......" licked his lips. Xie An told him and his eldest grandson Xiangyu in detail again.

"You're saying you're afraid of her, so you want to marry her? ――Do you think that if you don't marry her, she will become the most troublesome opponent in the future? Liang Qiuwu's eyes were full of incredulity.

"Yes!"

"So, don't you really want to marry her?" Liang Qiuwu's eyes showed a bit of expectation.

"This ......" Xie An scratched his head with a look of shame and said, "It's not exactly like that......"

looked at Xie An's appearance. Rao is Liang Qiu Dance had a simple thought, and he guessed a few points, snorted coldly, don't look over, and sulk.

"Dance, don't do that...... Don't be angry, okay? ”

When Liang Qiuwu heard this, he glanced at Xie An angrily, and said angrily, "Your eyes lit up when you first saw her...... I knew there would be today! ”

Xie An said with a wry smile. "What's the light in your eyes, it's too ugly, isn't it?"

"Isn't it? Her eldest grandson, Xiangyu, is the first beauty of the Great Zhou...... Do you dare to say that you don't covet her beauty? ”

Xie An thought for a moment. Shaking his head and saying, "No, but ......" Speaking of this, he leaned into Liang Qiuwu's ear and whispered, "But I also covet your beauty......"

Liang Qiuwu's face couldn't help but blush a little when he heard this, and he pretended not to care. "I'm not as beautiful as her, and I'm not as pleasing as she is......"

"Who said that?" Xie An gently hugged Liang Qiuwu and whispered softly in her ear. "My dance is beautiful and pleasing, although it is stupid, but the martial arts are strong ......"

Liang Qiu Wu only heard the joy in her heart, and suddenly, she felt that something was wrong, and after thinking for a while, she looked at Xie An and said strangely, "You...... Fang just said I was stupid, right? ”

"React now?" Xie An raised his right hand like a strange gesture, and his fingers gently scraped the bridge of Liang Qiuwu's nose, this intimate act made Liang Qiuwu's face shy, and after glaring at Xie An, he said angrily, "I'm not stupid!" ”

"Yes, yes, my dancing is the smartest......"

Liang Qiuwu smiled with satisfaction, suddenly frowned, and asked uncertainly, "......What is this?" Is it ironic? ”

Looking at her speculative look, Xie Anxin secretly laughed and whispered in her ear, "No, it's to please!" - You can also think of it as a plea for mercy...... Don't be angry, dance ......"

Liang Qiuwu glanced at Xie An sullenly when he heard this, and after sighing, he frowned and said, "I'm not angry, I'm just ...... I just can't believe you're hiding it from me? An, you obviously said that I am your main room and the eldest lady of your Xie family, but you ......"

Xie Anxin suddenly realized that he finally understood why Liang Qiu Wu was so excited, because she felt that Xie An did not treat her as his wife, and did not tell her such an important matter in advance, in other words, she felt that Xie An did not care about her.

"No, no, no, it's not like that, I want to tell you, but you were still in Jijing at the time, you know? - You, as soon as you ask, I will tell you, I didn't use any lies or excuses to deceive you, did I? - As you said, I didn't lie to you......"

Liang Qiuwu nodded slowly, and his heaving chest gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, Xie An asked tentatively, "So, Wu, do you have any law on this matter?" ――I mean, for Xiangyu...... Hmm, your opinion ......"

Liang Qiuwu bit her lip and hesitated when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "I hate her......"

Xie An covered his face weakly, and said weakly, "Can you tell me the reason?" ”

I saw Liang Qiuwu frowning slightly, and said in a low voice, "Full of lies, duplicity, ruthlessness, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, conspiracies, tricks, and many people in Jijing are played with applause, you know, An, she once even made me almost ......"

"Yes......" Xie An sighed with a wry smile and said, "In other words, you don't agree, do you?" ”

Liang Qiuwu raised his head, looked at Xie An, shook his head and said, "No! ”

"I understand," nodding, Xie An laughed at himself, and said weakly, "I'll talk to her......"

Liang Qiu Wu's eyes showed a little doubt when he heard this, and he said in surprise, "You...... Do you want to break the contract? ”

"Isn't that what you said?" Xie An said angrily.

"No!" Liang Qiu Wu strengthened her tone, shook her head and said, "I mean, you can marry her!" ”

"......" Xie An opened his mouth when he heard this, looked at Liang Qiu Wu stupidly, and said incoherently, "What? I...... I didn't hear clearly, you say, I can marry her? Do you agree? ”

"Hmm!" Liang Qiuwu nodded.

"Why? Didn't you say a whole bunch of her shortcomings? Why would you agree? ”

Liang Qiuwu sighed slightly. Raising his hand to caress Xie An's face, he said softly, "Because, my husband has already agreed to this marriage......"

This short sentence deeply touched Xie An, and he looked at his wife in front of him affectionately.

"Keep what you have done! - I hate her, just I hate her. As a wife, I will not break the promise that my husband has made, but in the future, I hope that An You can respect some of my ...... as your wife" Speaking of this, Liang Qiuwu looked up at Xie An.

As the so-called peak and loop turn, even Xie An didn't expect that things would take such a big turn, and nodded again and again, "It must be!" - I'll tell you in advance next time......"

Liang Qiuwu was stunned, with a little disbelief, and said. "Next time?"

Looking at the gradually cold face of the woman in his arms, Xie An shook his head again and again and said. "No, no, no, it's just a figure of speech, I mean, casually, casually......"

Liang Qiuwu's cold expression gradually eased, buried his head in Xie An's chest, and said softly. "But one thing you're right, Ann, Xiangyu is really unsettling. When I was in Jijing, I was most afraid of her than her, because you couldn't guess when she would secretly plot against you...... This time you have made great achievements, you are bound to be promoted, but the danger of the court, you are not very good, the slightest carelessness will be doomed, and if you marry her, she can help you solve some cold arrows from behind, although I don't want to admit it, but she is indeed the best candidate to deal with some intrigues, and I can't help you......"

Looking at her somewhat frustrated and disappointed expression, Xie An coaxed softly, "How could you not help me?" - My wife is the famous [Yan Hu Ji], but she is a general from the second rank of the court, and she holds 20,000 elite iron cavalry of the Eastern Army...... Do you know what a fox and a fake tiger are? - This means that even if I commit something, no one will dare to do anything to me! ”

Liang Qiuwu was stunned when he heard this, and said in shock, "An, what did you do?" ”

"......" Xie An opened his mouth, looked at Liang Qiu Wu stupidly, and said angrily, "Please, aunt, it's just rhetoric, rhetoric, if I really commit a crime, I don't need others to arrest you, you will definitely be the first to be brought to justice!" ”

Liang Qiuwu's face turned red, and after glancing at Xie An, Zhengse said, "Don't make such a joke!" -- The husband must behave rightly, stand upright, and be worthy of others, worthy of heaven and earth......"

Get!

Not again......

"Yes, yes, Madame's teachings should be taken to heart for the husband......"

Liang Qiuwu frowned when she heard this, and said unhappily, "[Yes] one time is enough, if you talk too much, it will seem that you are absent-minded!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All right! Xie An completely lost his temper and raised his hands in surrender.

Seeing this, Liang Qiuwu nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said tentatively, "An, you really ...... Aren't you afraid of me? ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Really?" Liang Qiuwu looked at Xie An suspiciously.

"Okay, it's still a little bit, just a little ......" gestured, Xie An sneered and said, "You on weekdays, I'm not afraid anymore, it's just ...... For example, I'm not afraid of swords, I'm afraid of those that will hurt me...... When you're angry, it's still a little ...... That's, you know......"

Liang Qiuwu nodded slightly, her expression didn't seem to be very satisfied with Xie An's answer.

Seeing this, Xie An hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Speaking of which, I have one more thing to tell you......

Liang Qiuwu was stunned when she heard this, glanced at Xie An strangely, and said with a little displeasure, "An, don't tell me that in addition to Xiangyu, you also made a marriage contract with another woman......

Oh my God, what the hell is this stupid woman thinking?

Xie An was angry and funny, stared at Liang Qiu Wu for a while, shook his head and said, "No, it's not about women!" ――Can I say that now? ”

Liang Qiuwu's face turned red and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Xie An took a deep breath and said, "This incident of the rebels in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, there is a good chance that the Taiping Army instigated it behind the scenes, and your cousin Liang Qiuhao is the third-generation commander of the Taiping Army!" In other words, he is the leader of the Southern Tang Yu Party! ”

Liang Qiuwu was stunned, and then his face changed suddenly, and he looked at Xie An in disbelief.

"Shh Xie An hurriedly made a silent motion.

"How is it possible......" Liang Qiuwu shook his head again and again, and asked urgently, "An, what's going on?" ”

Seeing this, Xie An briefly told Liang Qiuwu about Chen Bei's loss of his identity, only to hear the anger in Liang Qiuwu's eyes getting stronger and stronger.

"Unbelievable! My Liangqiu family has been loyal and good for generations, and it is ...... There are such traitors and traitors! ”

Looking at Liang Qiuwu's angry expression, Xie An hurriedly persuaded, "Wu, don't get excited, don't get excited, your cousin suffered such a crime when he was a child, and he finally escaped from the ancestral tomb, and most of them don't remember his origin......"

When Liang Qiuwu heard this, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he said urgently, "Do you mean, is he instigated by a traitor?" ”

Looking at her expectant gaze, what else could Xie An say, he could only nod.

"Probably ......"

"Whew!" Liang Qiu Wu let out a long breath, leaned on Xie An's arms as if relieved, and after hesitating for a while, he sighed and said, "Even so, I still have to arrest him and return to Liangqiu's family, as the head of the Liangqiu family, I must give Uncle Lu an explanation, and I must give an explanation to the people he killed...... How could he do that? He is the son-in-law of the Liangqiu family, and he should have inherited the Liangqiu family and revitalized my Liangqiu family, but he ......"

Looking at Liang Qiuwu with a painful look on her face, Xie An gently stroked her back and said softly, "It's not him, it's not anyone...... He just doesn't remember where he came from! - Don't worry, everything will be fine......"

Liang Qiuwu nodded slightly, put his arms around Xie An, and buried his head in his chest.

I don't know how long later, the voice of a soldier came from outside the house.

"Lord Qiqi, our army has found a large amount of gold and silver property hidden by the rebels......"

Xie An was stunned, and then a deep look of joy appeared on his face.

Gold and silver hidden by the rebels......

It's time to make a fortune!

Thinking of this, he stood up abruptly, and then his face changed, and he gasped and sat down in his chair.

"Mai, can you help me? ――I feel like one of my ribs is really broken......
