Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Eve of the Great War (End)
This glamorous young woman kept talking about her grievances there, not giving Fan Wucheng a chance to interject at all, as if she wanted to vent her grievances for a while, so that she could be more comfortable. Fan Wucheng also understood the other party's performance very well, and he didn't mean to interject, just listened silently there, waiting for the other party to vent all the resentment in his chest, and then explain to the other party the reason why he did this.
Finally, although the beautiful young woman was dissatisfied, she still cared about Fan Wucheng's feelings, and after saying this big call, she finally stopped, waiting for her lover to give her a reasonable explanation, or waiting for the other party to coax herself, so that her little woman's vanity could be satisfied a little.
Seeing that his lover said that he was tired and started drinking tea, Fan Wucheng put down the teacup in his hand and explained: "Lady, you and I have been in love for so long, don't you know what kind of person I Fan Wucheng is?" If I, Fan Wucheng, am a person who is greedy for beauty, how can I not touch the glamorous virgin in the outer house who is only twenty-eight years old, and only talk to my lady? You must know that your secret house in Youzhou City is next to your husband's outer house, and every time your husband goes to see you, he uses the excuse of going back to the outer house to be free, and he has to go to the bedroom of the twenty-eight beauties, so that he can enter the bedroom of the lady through the secret door. If the husband thinks about the little beauty, thinks that the identity of the husband, thinks that she is the name of the husband's house, and thinks that the husband makes her not fall into the dust, it is not a matter of being caught, so why go outside to find those women who don't know the roots.
The reason why my husband didn't come to see you during this time was because he was too busy with business and couldn't spare time. Moreover, as soon as the husband entered the house just now, he had already compensated the lady, and explained that he couldn't come during this time because several brothers issued a 'summoning order', and all the 'Qingyuan' brothers must strictly abide by it. It is not easy for a husband to come to Wuqing County to meet his wife at this time.
As for moving the three of you from Yingzhou to Wuqing County, it is entirely for the sake of your safety. According to the news sent by my starling brother from Kaifeng, the emperor of Zhou has decided to start a northern expedition in the middle and end of next month. At that time, Ying, Mo, Yi and other prefectures and counties located at the junction of the two countries will definitely bear the brunt and become the first targets of the Zhou army's Northern Expedition. Although the Zhou army is known as the army of benevolence and righteousness, when it conquered the south of Huainan and Jiangbei, it also achieved the so-called 'strict military discipline and no offense in autumn'. But when the time comes, after all, it will be a large army transiting, even if the Zhou army can not get close to the people, who can guarantee that the local Liao defenders can also 'strict military discipline and no offense'. Although Wu Yuanwai has a good relationship with a certain person, in the final analysis, he is just a businessman with some family resources, and he is not as wealthy and powerful as my 'Qingyuan' brother, and he has the power to protect himself. If you really want to encounter rebellious soldiers and raids, don't say that you master and servant will be protected, but I am afraid that even he and his family may not be able to protect it. And this Wuqing County is remote, and the Zhou army will not come here for a while. ”
Speaking of the Northern Expedition of the Zhou Army, Fan Wucheng paused slightly, pursed his lips with some disdain, and continued: "Besides, if a series of strategies of our brothers can be successfully implemented, it is still between the two sides whether the Zhou army has a chance to advance to Youzhou City, let alone this remote Wuqing County. ”
Speaking of this, Fan Wucheng's face changed, from the pleasant face just now to serious and serious, and said solemnly: "Lady, as a woman, it is normal to suspect that your husband has a new love outside, not only will your husband not blame you, but he will also explain to you very patiently why your husband has not been able to visit you and accompany you recently." But if you think that your husband didn't come to see you and accompany you during this time to deliberately alienate you, to clear up the relationship with you, to protect yourself, and you don't want to be implicated by the identity of the lady, and you don't want to affect your future because of the lady's current situation, then the lady is not only a big mistake, but also lives up to the husband's sincerity to the lady.
Although the husband is a businessman, he is also a manly man who speaks his word. Since the husband promised to spend this life with his wife, he will keep his promise and will never be the negative person who reneges his oath. If the husband is the kind of negative man who can abandon his loved one for his own sake, he would not have risked being punished by several brothers to associate with the lady; As soon as you learn the news that 'Dark Feather' has begun to attack the 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou Branch, you will immediately take the risk of sending someone to inform the lady in Zhaozhou, let alone shelter the lady when the two secret spy organizations of 'Feiyan Hall' and 'Dark Feather' are wanted by the two secret spy organizations. ”,
As he spoke, Fan Wucheng stood up, raised his right hand to the sky and swore: "The yellow sky is above, the thick earth is below, I, Fan Wucheng, make an oath here." In this life and this life, I will never live up to my beloved wife Liu Yunyan, if I violate this oath, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky, so that I will die without a place to be buried. ”
Seeing that her husband wanted to show that he was sincere to him, he actually launched a poisonous oath on the spot, and was sheltered by Fan Wucheng, who had already sworn with her to grow old with her and loved her all his life, so that Liu Yunyan, the former master of the Youzhou branch of "Feiyan Hall" and "Dark Feather", who had been unable to find the two secret spy organizations, could no longer sit still. Originally, she had already felt inappropriate after saying what she had just said, but at this time she already regretted it, and secretly scolded herself for being coquettish and saying things that should not be said.
After all, with Liu Yunyan's understanding of Fan Wucheng over the years, she still knows very well that the other party is a good man who counts when he talks and has affection. This point is vividly reflected from his nostalgia for Mrs. Yuanpei, who died on the "Road Back to Zhongtu", and the many overt or covert investigations by the "Qingyuan" brothers, especially the "Feiyan Tang" Youzhou Branch was wiped out, and she Liu Yunyan became a wanted criminal that the two secret spy organizations must get rid of as soon as possible, and she still never gave up and took full care of Liu Yunyan. - This is also the reason why Weishenme Liu Yunyan will have a very ordinary appearance, and there are many questions about his identity and origin.
Of course, at the beginning, Liu Yunyan approached Fan Wucheng to find out the details of the "Qingyuan" brothers through Fan Wucheng, so that she could take the lead in the cooperation with the "Qingyuan" brothers, so that the "Feiyantang" Youzhou branch she created could grow up quickly and complete the plan of the military order she made in the main hall. However, as time went by, Liu Yunyan found that this unattractive businessman still had many advantages, especially his concern for his family, relatives, and wife, which made Liu Yunyan, who had been alone since he was very young, very lethal.
Therefore, as soon as Fan Wucheng swore a poisonous oath, Liu Yunyan stood up and came to him as quickly as possible, pulled down his raised right hand, and said, "Don't worry, the official, this matter is all a concubine." The concubine has never suspected that the official is sincere to the concubine, otherwise she would not risk being severely punished by the main hall and make a private agreement with the official for life and become husband and wife. The concubine was also looking forward to the officials not coming for a long time, and she said those ridiculous words in a hurry, and hoped that the officials would not mind. ”
Although Fan Wucheng was very annoyed by the words that Liu Yunyan just said that he didn't trust himself, but as the saying goes, "a husband and wife for a day are a hundred days of grace, and a husband and wife for a hundred days are like the depth of the sea". Fan Wucheng and Liu Yunyan have been in love for three or four years now, and they both love each other sincerely, so after the catharsis of a poisonous oath, the dissatisfaction in Fan Wucheng's heart has almost diverged, seeing that Liu Yunyan took the initiative to compensate herself, she no longer dwelled too much on this issue, but after saying "Don't take it as an example", he was pulled back to the chair and sat down by the other party's arms.
Sitting back down, Fan Wucheng was drinking tea there, and Runyirun's throat was a little dry because of the big call just now. Here, Liu Yunyan asked a little puzzled: "The official just said that those brothers of yours issued a 'summoning order'. I wonder what kind of order this 'summoning order' is? Where are you going to gather the officials and their brothers? Well, why are your brothers gathering everyone? ”
Fan Wucheng put down the tea cup when he heard this, and explained: "The so-called 'convening order' is actually an instruction given by several brothers to all the 'Qingyuan' brothers, just because its content requires all the 'Qingyuan' brothers who are working outside to return to our other courtyard called 'Liangyuan' under Xiayunling before Chinese New Year's Eve, so our brothers call it 'convening order'." As for weishenme to summon us, the husband should be able to guess a few points, not to mention the lady. ”
Liu Yunyan is a smart person, and in addition, she has been with Fan Wucheng for a long time, and she knows more or less about some things about the "Qingyuan" brothers-otherwise, she would not have been able to send any decent news back to the "Feiyan Hall" main hall. Especially after the collapse of the "Feiyan Hall" Youzhou Branch, Fan Wucheng faced Liu Yunyan, who was desperate and could only survive by relying on his own protection, and was no longer as cautious in speaking and doing things as when the "Feiyan Hall" Youzhou Branch and "Dark Feather" used each other and guarded against each other, so that the other party no longer needed to listen carefully to every word and word he said as before, so as to find the information he needed. Now that Fan Wucheng and Liu Yunyan have chatted more openly, some things that do not involve the core secrets of the crossing team will also be revealed to the other party. ,
Therefore, although Fan Wucheng did not say it explicitly, Liu Yunyan combined the current situation and the fact that the "Qingyuan" brothers secretly developed such a strong strength - even if Fan Wucheng did not tell her about the "Flying Dragon Army", "Security Army" and firearms, just by virtue of the fact that the other party could wipe out all the members of the "Feiyan Hall" distributed in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun within a few days, she could already get a glimpse of the strength of its strength - she had basically guessed the intention of the other party to issue the so-called "convening order" - The other party obviously intended to take advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Expedition of the Zhou Army to make a difference, so all the brothers who were scattered abroad were called back. In this way, on the one hand, it is possible to concentrate the talents of all the brothers to do the big thing at hand, and on the other hand, it can also ensure the safety of all the brothers, so as to prevent someone from poisoning the scattered "Qingyuan" brothers to weaken their strength, or capturing the scattered "Qingyuan" brothers alive in order to blackmail others into submission.
Thinking about this, Liu Yunyan was both in favor and against this so-called "convening order". She agreed, because the original intention of this "summoning order" was to protect the "Qingyuan" brothers, and his husband was one of them, and he was also one of the objects to be protected by this order. Out of consideration for her husband's safety, she naturally wanted to approve of this order; She objected because in this way, his husband would probably have to stay in the so-called "cool garden" until the end of the Battle of the Clouds. As a strategic location, the war between Zhou and Liao for the sixteen states of Youyun will not end in a short time. This means that for a longer period of time - at least a few months - the husband will not come to visit him or accompany him again. As soon as she thought of this, Liu Yunyan's good mood due to her husband's arrival was almost swept away, replaced by sadness, reluctance and resentment.
His wife had obvious emotional changes, and Fan Wucheng's shrewdness could naturally guess the reason. So, he reached out and pulled Liu Yunyan up from her seat, took her into his arms, caressed her back, and whispered to comfort her, persuading her to think long-term, and to make her understand that the separation is only temporary, and the two of them will have more time together in the future. And even if Liu Yunyan is unwilling to have a thousand or ten thousand at this time, she can only accept the reality that the husband and wife are about to separate for a long time.
At the time of the lamp, Fan Wucheng, who had easily appeased his wife, left a promise of "After the battle of Youyun, my husband will definitely come to pick you up", he once again walked out of the small courtyard where Liu Yunyan temporarily lived with Fan Xiaosan and Fan Xiaowu in the dress of a domestic servant, got into the local carriage that had been waiting outside the door for a whole afternoon, and returned to the Wuqing branch of "Tianfulou".
As when they secretly left the restaurant, when Fan Wucheng's master and servant returned to the Wuqing branch of the "Tianfu Building", they still entered through the back door of the restaurant that was opened by other cronies in advance, and cautiously returned to Fan Wucheng's room all the way.
Entering the house, Fan Xiaoer, who had been staying here, saw the master coming back, and hurriedly stepped forward and reported to Fan Wucheng: "Master, everything is safe." Although the leader of the guards came twice to inquire about the master's situation, he was sent away by the younger one on the grounds that the master was sleeping. ”
"Did he ever be suspicious?" Fan Wucheng asked while changing clothes.
"The leader of the guards has never been suspicious." Fan Xiaoer replied, "Xiaosi has been lying in the bedroom pretending to be a master, and he snores a little from time to time. The leader of the guards was afraid of waking up the 'master', so he just stood at the door of the bedroom and looked inside a few times, and it was impossible to find that it was not you who was lying on the bed. ”
"That's fine." Fan Wucheng nodded and said, "You go to the leader of the guards and tell him that his master has woken up and wants to discuss with him the itinerary for tomorrow's inspection." In addition, you go to ask the restaurant shopkeeper to prepare a dinner, and he is a little hungry. ”
"The little ones will do it." Fan Xiaoer agreed to go.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month in the eighth year of the calendar (the fifth year of Xiande), Fan Wucheng, who had completed the inspection of the shops of the commercial house, led a group of subordinates and personal guards to arrive at the "Liangyuan". On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month of the eighth year of the calendar (the fifth year of Xiande), as the Yellow Sea rushed back from Dagu Port, except for Xu Shaoan, Lin Xiaoyu and Cheng Fei, all the other crossing team members gathered in the "Liangyuan" to prepare to spend the sixth and most complicated Spring Festival together.
