Chapter Seventy-Two: Cutting and Sorting Out the Mess (Part 2, Chapter 26)
Since the Holy Driver stayed in the city-state of Yiwu, Zhang Shan garrisoned here to protect the Holy Driver. Princess Yongjing rarely came out of Lan Zhao Kingdom and wanted to have a good time in the Central Plains. agreed to Yang Cheng's invitation to go to the capital together.
Yang Cheng also felt for her life-saving grace, the last time Princess Yongjing came to the capital, he was off medicine, Princess Yongjing took care of him, and he didn't take Princess Yongjing to have a good time. Take this opportunity to return to the capital and take her around to let her see the prosperity of the capital.
Princess Yongjing also has this intention, she came to the capital before, she was all looking at the flowers, she didn't see it really, she looked very prosperous on the surface, she hadn't gone to the streets and alleys to feel it well. In Lanzhao Kingdom, it is all natural scenery, and nature is also extremely beautiful, but in terms of prosperity, it is naturally less than one hundred percent of the capital.
Now that General Zhang Shan was there, he asked, "General Zhang, can I go to the side and watch when you drill the army every day?" ”
Zhang Shan replied: "Of course you can!" Princess Yongjing wants to see it, and she will come over when I practice. ”
Princess Yongjing said excitedly: "That's great, I will definitely go over and watch it every day." Thank you! ”
When Yang Cheng heard this, he felt strange in his heart. How can she be so easily satisfied, watching a soldier drill, what is so happy to be like that.
The bride who sent her relatives from Lan Zhaoguo this time, her name is Liu Ya, and she will be sent back to Lan Zhaoguo by the attendants tomorrow. She also wanted to go to the imperial capital with Yang Cheng to play, but her identity was inconvenient, so she could only regretfully return to Lan Zhaoguo first. She has no reason to be jealous of Princess Yongjing, her status is more noble than her, and she doesn't even have the right to go to the imperial capital to play.
After lunch, she came to Yang Cheng's tent. Princess Yongjing has gone to the military camp with Zhang Shan to train soldiers. When Yang Cheng saw Liu Ya, he was very puzzled, so he asked, "Miss Liu, may I ask you to come to find Zaixia, is there something wrong?" ”
Liu Ya said shyly: "Tomorrow I will rush back to Lan Zhaoguo, and today I specially came to thank the concubine for his help last time." ”
Yang Cheng said: "Miss Liu doesn't have to mind. ”
Liu Ya said: "I heard that the horse suffered from Furong's drug withdrawal some time ago, and he couldn't sleep at night. This is a purse that I use several kinds of Lan Zhaoguo petals to dry and sew, which can be put under the pillow when sleeping, and can help the mind sleep. ”
Yang Cheng hurriedly refused: "Miss Liu, the purse is a private thing, and it cannot be given to men outside the family." This bag must not be accepted in the next place. ”
Liu Ya said: "Does the colt look down on me? In our Lan Zhao country, the medicine purse is only used as medicine, and it is not a private thing. The horse can be tried for a while, and if it doesn't work, then discarded. ”
Seeing that she was so insistent, if it was only a medicine bag, there was nothing wrong with it, so she accepted it. said: "Thank you Miss Liu for your kindness." ”
Liu Ya said: "With a lot of effort, the horse is serious. If the effect is good, when the colt returns to Lanzhao Kingdom, I will send some to the colt. ”
Yang Cheng said: "Then don't bother Miss Liu, I'll ask Princess Yongjing to help me sew a few when I go back." ”
Liu Ya said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't have anything to do on weekdays, I only sew and sew medicine bags." The princess is busy on weekdays and has no time to sew. Otherwise, for so long, why didn't I think of sewing one for the horse. ”
Yang Cheng: "......"
Liu Ya saw that she was almost done, so she took her leave: "Then I won't bother the horse anymore, and I will retire first." After saying that, he bowed and walked out. Yang Cheng looked at the purse and fell into deep thought.
Since Qiu Yue left the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Shuo has not explained to Qiu Yue again. Qiu Yue decided that Zhang Shuo was going to be with Akso, and even if she wanted to go to Zhang's mansion, she asked Akso to stop her, afraid that she would ruin their good deeds. This made her very angry, and she never spoke to Zhang Shuo.
Qiu Yue thought: Look down on me so much, am I that kind of person? If you want to be with Axol, you'll be together! I won't even let you go to your house, I've never seen such a petty man. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and sometimes when I saw Zhang Shuo, I just ignored it as if I didn't have this person.
Zhang Shuo thought about what Akso said and felt that it was very reasonable. Qiu Yue and Yang Cheng were originally a couple, and they were separated for so long because of their jealousy, and they were so hard for Yang Cheng, they really shouldn't have been. I couldn't block them anymore, so I stopped talking to Qiu Yue. During this time, they tracked down the whereabouts of the queen mother together, and had several conversations, all of which discussed clues, and never mentioned other private matters.
Zhang Shuo thought: This is the right thing to do, and it is reasonable to avoid suspicion, otherwise it will make Yang Cheng and Qiuyue unhappy. Your own existence can annoy Qiuyue! So every time he saw Qiu Yue, he avoided it. I really can't avoid it, so I just nod or say hello, like a strange working relationship.
Looking at Zhang Shuo like this, Qiu Yue also thought in her heart: Who is like you, and you have to hide so far? I didn't pester you, as if I was afraid that I still had thoughts about him. Qiu Yue later avoided Zhang Shuo as well. They just worked together, but they rarely met.
Now that Yang Cheng is back, Zhang Shuo is also relieved, fortunately, they have achieved positive results, and they can also make up for the sins in their hearts.
Yang Cheng saw that Princess Yongjing went to look for Zhang Shan every day, so he went to Qiuyue to catch up.
He and Qiu Yue are now brothers, so naturally they talk more, they either practice martial arts every day, or drink tea and chat about their own experiences, and their lives are very comfortable.
Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang naturally spent more time together, and now they have no tasks on their bodies. As long as he returns to the capital and closes the case here, he can take leave and go out to travel for half a year. Although the destination has not yet been chosen, it is still possible to see the prosperity of the city-state of Iou, which is different from the capital. But it is a different kind of tranquil beauty, and the mind is calmed down.
And in the Dark Cult, look at the majestic peaks and steep slopes. The southern slope is long and steep, and the northern slope is steep and short. Cliffs and collapses occupy a wide area. In the towering mountain valleys, rocky slopes are full of people. Deep valleys are filled with narrow, deep, steep mountain streams. There is an image of swallowing mountains and rivers, which can make people open-minded and forget their worries.
Zhang Shuo thought about it, and when he took leave, he would go to the Gobi and see the desolate scenery everywhere, which must be another feeling.
On this day, Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang were drinking in the wine shop of the city-state of Yiwu. Seeing that Yang Cheng and Qiu Yue were also there, Zhang Shuo pulled Xu Lang and wanted to go to another house. Yang Cheng said: "What a coincidence! It's better to meet by chance than to meet, since you have met, let's have dinner together! How is it? “
After saying this, Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang said: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and chatter." “
After the four of them sat down, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Qiu Yue and Zhang Shuo didn't speak, Yang Cheng looked at them like this, very strange, thinking that he had withdrawn, and after this period of time together, their relationship should go further. When asked Qiuyue these days, she didn't say anything, just perfunctory, saying that it was impossible to talk to Zhang Shuo.
It seems that the gap between them is quite deep, so I thought that since she was Qiuyue's brother-in-law, she should help her.
Then he said: "Zhang Shuo, since I came to the city-state of Yiwu, I haven't seen you come to us, what's the matter, do you still have any opinions about me?" “
Zhang Shuo hurriedly said: "No, no. Xu Lang and I have been staying together all these days to learn martial arts, as well as deal with some aftermath matters, and we don't have much time. "I thought to myself: I am sick and went to see you show affection? Find your own abuse. Besides, I'm going to go, you'll be happy, I don't dare mess with you two again. I have to hide as far as I can.
Xu Lang was a rectum, and said on the spot: "Isn't the aftermath done?" We only practiced martial arts for two hours a day. The rest of the time is eating, drinking, and playing, how can you say that you don't have time? ”
Zhang Shuo: "......" has a pig teammate, which is really hard to get off the stage!
Qiu Yue and Yang Cheng looked at Zhang Shuo, wanting to see how he could distinguish it. Zhang Shuo said: "Your aftermath has been dealt with, and I still have the emperor's explanation." Nature is not the same as you. ”
Xu Lang added another knife and said: "I see that you spend most of your time drinking in the curtain, and you handle affairs for the emperor like this." I think you're borrowing wine to drown your sorrows. ”
Zhang Shuo quickly fought back and said, "I'm thinking while drinking, how can I be like you, I don't need to do things with my brain." The things I deal with are very brain-draining. You won't understand. "Come on! Hurt each other! Who is afraid of whom.
Xu Lang looked at Zhang Shuo with a caring look on his handicapped face, and said, "You told me before that when dealing with official business, you should not drink alcohol when thinking about problems, otherwise it will affect your thoughts." Why are you still drinking while dealing with official business, can alcohol make you more sober? ”
Zhang Shuo: "......", this pig teammate, turned his head very fast today, and he also recruited to dismantle the stage!
Zhang Shuo picked up the wine glass, drank a glass of wine, and then said leisurely: "It was a lie to you before, do you still believe it?" You're a fool. You will believe what others say, and beware of being sold by others and returning the money. As he spoke, he shook his head, thinking to himself: Idiot, you still want to win me in lip service, dream, it's up to you Xu Lang.
Xu Lang: "......"
Yang Cheng: "......"
Seeing Zhang Shuo like this, Qiu Yue said very unhappily: "Xu Lang, don't embarrass Master Zhang, he is a popular person next to the emperor, and he still has to worry about the beauty of Dashi Country, Akso, but he is not too busy." Besides, a thoughtful person like Mr. Zhang is naturally different from a person like you, who thinks of many calculations, which is like a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and goes straight to the ground. ”
These words directly wilted Zhang Shuo, and Qiu Yue said that he was insidious and scheming. Thinking of the way he had done to Yang Cheng before, he was sure that he had nothing to refute, so he stopped talking.
Xu Lang: "......"
Zhang Shuo: "......"
Yang Cheng: "......"
Yang Cheng looked at their embarrassed appearance, he didn't know much about Akso, he had just heard of it, and he had been pestering Zhang Shuo, could this be. Judging by their attitude, it seems that they are quite supportive of Zhang Shuo and Akso being together.
It's a big head! Yang Cheng originally wanted to quit and fulfill Qiuyue and Zhang Shuo, but he didn't expect to run out now Cheng Biting Jinlai, where is this Akso sacred, and he will capture Zhang Shuo's heart so quickly. He really didn't believe it anymore.
Then Yang Cheng asked, "Zhang Shuo, how are you and Miss Akso?" Is it any wonder that the two of you are getting better, as they say? ”
Zhang Shuo didn't really want to talk about Akso in front of them, so he said perfunctorily: "That's it!" Let's not talk about her, let's have a drink! It is a great blessing that the emperor and the queen mother were able to reunite this time. ”
Xu Lang also echoed: "Yes, yes, the queen mother is really admirable, she can disguise in such a situation for more than half a year, and she also gave birth to a prince and a princess." It's a legend. ”
Xu Lang seemed to think of something, and asked Zhang Shuo: "Oh, Zhang Shuo, I forgot to ask you before." You took a leave of absence from the emperor for half a year before, and now that the tasks have been completed, are you going to wander? "Listen to what this is, is it human language? What is vagrancy? That's traveling, traveling, do you understand?
Zhang Shuo only replied helplessly: "Yes, when I return to the capital and deal with the aftermath, I will set off." But I'm traveling, not wandering, Xu Lang, can you speak. The wandering made me feel like I was homeless. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Lang said beautifully: "Hehe, Zhang Shuo, do you have a home?" You are alone at home, and where you go is different. Isn't being home to the four seas just wandering? It's like me, there are wives and children waiting for me, that's home. “
Zhang Shuo glanced at him and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Xu Lang, you have a home." But you don't have a heart. Knowing that I don't have a home, they poured salt in my wounds."
Xu Lang said with a smile: "I didn't mean it, I just thought of the peony, so I blurted out, guilt and sin." ”
Then Xu Lang asked again: "Zhang Shuo, then you are alone, where are you going?" ”
As soon as Zhang Shuo wanted to speak, Qiu Yue said: "Xu Lang, I think you are in vain, but there is a beautiful woman from Dashi Country Akso waiting for him in Lord Zhang's house, how can he be alone?" Whether at home or traveling, how can someone be alone? ”
Xu Lang: "......"
Zhang Shuo: "......"
Yang Cheng: "......"
Zhang Shuogang wanted to explain that he and Akso were just friends, but he thought that Qiuyue and Yang Cheng were finally together. If he was alone, Yang Cheng would definitely be a little reluctant in his heart, so he didn't explain again.
Xu Lang asked with a gossipy face: "Zhang Shuo, are you really with Akso?" That's great! We all thought before that you were quite compatible, talented men and women. You see, now everyone is complete, how wonderful! Come, come, come, gotta toast. ”
Yang Cheng thought in his heart: Could it be that Qiu Yue didn't say anything about me and Qiu Yue's worship, so everyone still agrees that they are with Qiu Yue?
Zhang Shuo just said perfunctorily: "You are too much to manage!" ”
Seeing that he didn't deny it, Qiu Yue felt that this thing must have been done. Thinking back to going to Zhang's Mansion before and being kicked out by Zhang Shuo, she was so angry in her heart!
Okay, you're Zhang Shuo, don't empathize so fast. I went to Zhang's Mansion to check the news, and he was kicked out, but he was really ungrateful.
Yang Cheng didn't expect this matter to reverse so quickly. When Zhang Shuo pursued Qiuyue, he looked like he was not a gentleman and would not marry, for Qiuyue, he didn't even care about his bottom line, and let him fall into the cliff. Now why is it that in less than a year, I like Akso that came out of nowhere, and I really don't believe it in my heart.
However, thinking that Qiu Yue also fell in love with Zhang Shuo after he left for more than a year, it is really difficult to measure love by time. And isn't he himself gradually attracted to Princess Yongjing?
It's just that seeing Qiu Yue's final result like this, I can't help but feel distressed, and I still want to confirm with Zhang Shuo.
Yang Cheng asked, "Zhang Shuo, do you really like Akso?" How come your relationship is so deep in such a short period of time? ”
Zhang Shuo wanted to let Yang Cheng relax and be with Qiuyue, and this matter should also be turned over. Everything is back to square one, and the guilt in his heart can be reduced a little.
Zhang Shuo said: "I'm seriously thinking about it." The other she is also very good, just to make a little noise, and my temperament just complements each other, and when I return to the capital, I am expected to go out with her to travel. She also likes to run around and has seen many strange people and things, which must be very interesting. ”
At this point, there is no turning point, and she has been taken on a tour, can it still be fake? It must have been discussed before leaving the capital.
Qiu Yue's hand under the table was clenched tightly. The heart is sour, but there is nothing to be done. At the beginning, she left Zhang Shuo first. Now that he has found someone he likes, she should bless him. Akso is right, if you can't give him happiness, then bless him!
I was really angry, so Qiu Yue said: "Lord Zhang is very precious to Miss Akso, you may not know that before coming to Yiwu City, I went to Zhang's Mansion to find out if there was any news about the queen's mother." In order to prevent Akso from being unhappy when he saw me, Lord Zhang kicked me out of Zhang's mansion. Akso also made it clear that I will not be allowed to go to Zhang's Mansion in the future, and Lord Zhang also has this intention. ”
Whoever listens to this can taste the sourness in it.
Zhang Shuo didn't expect this layer, and only thought at that time that a long pain is better than a short pain. This is also the best way, so I didn't chase after him to explain, but I didn't expect Qiu Yue to think of him like this.
After getting along for so long, when was Zhang Shuo willing to treat her like this, and when did he not give her the best and keep the negative to himself. Now that Yang Cheng is back, he has become a person who values sex and ignores righteousness.
When Yang Cheng heard this, he felt that it was incredible, thinking that Qiu Yue was exaggerating the facts. Then he said: "Zhang Shuo, this is your mistake, even if you and Akso get along, you can't get out of Qiuyue!" Besides, Qiuyue used to find out the news, and it was also the friendship of working together, so why didn't she care about the feelings of her colleagues? ”
When Xu Lang heard this, he was also stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Shuo to be calm and clear on the surface, and he was so decisive in doing things, he really underestimated him. But it's still not right to kick people out. He said: "Zhang Shuo, how can you be so heavy on sex and light on friends, and forget your old love when you have a new love?" Qiuyue is not looking for you to rekindle your old love. Why did you get her out? Don't let her go to Zhang's mansion yet, what are you thinking? ”
Zhang Shuo said: "Qiuyue, I'm really sorry, it was Akso who was open-mouthed at that time, please forgive me." Zhang Mansion is always ready to welcome you and Yang Cheng to come at any time. At that time, the investigation was urgent, and I didn't explain it in time, so I ask for your forgiveness. ”
Listen, that's very clear. You and Yang Cheng can come over and cut off all the unclear relationships, and you are also expressing your determination to Yang Cheng.
Qiu Yue said: "That's not necessary, your Zhang's Mansion has a high threshold, and we are from a slightly cold background, so we are really not worthy of boarding Lord Zhang's door." ”
Zhang Shuo hurriedly explained: "Qiuyue, it was all a misunderstanding before, I hope you don't take it to heart." “
Qiu Yue said: "I didn't pay attention to it! You have what I have to take to heart. ”
Zhang Shuo: "......"
Xu Lang seemed embarrassed when he saw them, and just wanted to change the topic.
Zhang Shuo said: "That's good, it's good if I don't take it to heart, otherwise I thought I would have offended Miss Qiuyue." ”
Then he said: "Miss Qiuyue is really an adult, and I really admire it." ”
Zhang Shuo felt aggrieved in his heart, after getting along for so long, I didn't have anything worth paying attention to.
Then he raised his glass and said, "I don't know when the wedding of Yang Cheng and Miss Qiuyue will be held, I'm afraid that I will be traveling by then and won't be able to attend your wedding banquet." Here's a glass to the two of you, and I wish you a hundred years of happiness and happiness in advance. ”
Yang Cheng said: "Zhang Shuo, you misunderstood, I ...... with Qiuyue"
Before she finished speaking, Qiu Yue picked up the wine glass and said, "Then thank you Lord Zhang for your blessing." Mr. Zhang is a busy man, even if he is in the capital, it is understandable that he will not come to us. ”
After drinking, he said, "I still have something to do with Yang Cheng, let's go first, you use it slowly." Then he pulled Yang Cheng away.
Since Yang Mubai and Pei Shengyuan reunited, the two of them have been tired of being together every day, and their lives have been sweet. Last time, she was looking for Qiu Yue and wanted to learn more about her and Yang Cheng. But Qiuyue is very busy, or the time is not right.
Today, she asked people to spread the word, so that Qiu Yue was free to come to her quickly.
Pei Shengyuan was very speechless about her worrying temperament, and he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he could only say euphemistically: "Mu Mu, will she be unhappy if you interfere with Qiuyue like this?" ”
Yang Mubai doesn't like to hear this, what is it called interfering with Qiuyue. It's called caring about the autumn moon.
Dang even retorted: "What do you know, I care about Qiuyue's lifelong affairs. Qiu Yue has no mother since she was a child, I am equivalent to her sister, the eldest sister is like a mother, you know? ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Now that Qiuyue is with Yang Cheng every day, they should get married when they go back, what are you worried about now?" ”
Yang Mubai said: "Just because it is before marriage, I have to care more about it." Is it ready to get married, so I don't care about her. ”
Pei Shengyuan said in a low voice: "But it's useless for you to worry!" ”
Yang Mubai: "Who said it's useless, it's man-made, do you know?" As long as you work hard, lovers will eventually become pairs. ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Okay, you women are keen to be matchmakers. ”
Yang Mubai looked at Pei Shengyuan seriously and said, "Do you think that if you didn't come to me at the beginning, we would still be together?" ”
Pei Shengyuan hurriedly said: "How could I not go to you, no matter how far away, no matter how much it costs, no matter where you are, I will go to you." ”
Yang Mubai said: "Is this called man-made? Love needs to be tested, otherwise how can it be called a good thing? ”
Pei Sheng kissed Yang Mubai and said, "Okay, I fully agree with Mu Mu's decision." When you need me, you can just say it. Your decision is my decision, and your need is my need. ”
Seeing his teachable appearance, Yang Mubai said with relief: "Okay, you wait for me to believe, and I will let you do it if necessary." ”
