Chapter Ninety-Four: Bonding
The De Jong workers did not dare to say anything, nor did they dare to explain, knowing in their hearts that there was little hope, but they still kowtowed desperately.
If it had been before, this head would have been even more desperate - no one could stop the master from doing what he wanted.
But now there is a shallow hope in his heart - since there is Miss Wen by his side, the master is at least in front of her, he has a lot more popularity, and he has more patience with others, and now he hopes that this fireworks in the world can make the master move a little pity.
De Jong Yangong is the personal guard of the Yiwang Mansion, and the four captains have almost all followed His Royal Highness since childhood, and if there is one less, De Jong Yangong will not be complete in the future.
The deck collided, Yan Sui never moved, only squinted lightly at the morning mist-shrouded river. Even the clothes seemed to suddenly turn into iron, and the wind could not move.
He watched in despair as the net sank, and the river in that place was covered with black objects, and there was no scheming person in sight.
The darkness is often the most frightening, worse than Wen Zhen, who could still see a glimmer of light in the jar.
He suddenly blessed his soul and said loudly: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Scheming deserves it! But you deal with it now, when Miss Wen comes back and sees that Gong Yu died because of her scheming, she is so kind, it is inevitable that she will feel guilty, Your Highness, do you want her to be sad and uncomfortable after suffering so many crimes?! β
Yan Sui suddenly moved.
De Gao looked at Yan Sui with wide eyes, even if it was looking directly at the sun, tears did not dare to blink.
If that doesn't work...... I'm really going to burn paper for Gong Yu's scheming next year......
Yan Sui suddenly flicked his fingers, and a black light shot out.
It's a whale's eye.
As soon as the thing fell into the water, a large number of fish, shrimp, water snakes, turtles, and other things rushed wildly, and a considerable number of them were interested in the black object, and soon ate half of the thing, and the net floated up.
The scheming coughed wildly in the water, but he couldn't get up - the net couldn't be untied in the water.
Then the fish had eaten the black object and began to attack him again. The whale's eye floats and sinks in the water, because the other whale eye is still on the boat, so it will not leave the range of the boat, and those fish and shrimp all want to grab the whale's eye, attack and chase each other endlessly, and they all surround the scheming of Gongyu, fighting and killing each other, and they will not care that there is another person there. The unlucky worker worked hard for a while, and was torn by a big fish, slapped by the tail of a water snake, knocked out a tooth by a turtle, and was gnawed and injured by those medium and small fish......
De Jong's workers looked at it in a cold sweat.
How much sin it takes.
The point is that this is a complete copy of the sins that Miss Wen may have suffered, and then double it back to Gong Yu's scheming!
And being attacked like this, how many days can you survive scheming?
Respectfully understand what His Highness means. No matter how many days he can endure, he will have to endure until Miss Wen finds him.
For the scheming, I probably wish I was dead.
The mood is urgent, and I feel that every minute is a countdown to the scheming. Seeing that someone sent the information on the three big ships that went to sea and hurriedly took it, Yan Sui glanced at it and suddenly said, "No." β
Everyone was stunned.
"Tang Xianzhi hasn't returned home yet?"
There is humanity.
"Cha Tang's ship."
The people turned and walked away.
Yan Sui suddenly said again: "Check the Wenfu again, whether anyone has left." β
Then someone hurriedly took a small boat back to check, Yan Sui ordered to bring all the information on the docks docked in the past three days, his own boat went to the sea, all the De Rong Yangong guards gathered, and then took a fast boat to catch up, along the way the city docks docked, go down in batches to find, and send dwarf guards on the shore to find along the route of the city where the river to the sea passes.
Not long after, the Clippers came to report that the old lady had been picked up by an unknown person last night.
The guards were stunned, and they didn't understand how to get Old Lady Wen out.
Yan Sui's face had been pale before, but when she heard the news, her eyes were obviously darkened a little, obviously she had already understood the reason why Old Lady Wen left.
Nature is the reason why he is most reluctant to face it.
Someone else reported that the Tang family's ships on record had not sailed for the past few days.
"Look at ships that sailed within three days but turned back. The owner of the boat has a certain relationship with the Tang family. β
The crowd moved quickly. Although I don't understand what His Highness means, I just do it, and His Highness's judgment has never been wrong.
ββ¦β¦ His Highness has found it. There is a painting boat, on this river to do some quite elegant business of selling art without selling oneself, generally only wandering on the surface of the wharf river, yesterday left the wharf, do not know where to go. The owner of this painting boat has nothing to do with the Tang family on the surface, but he has a close relationship with the second housekeeper of the Tang family's Tianjing Mansion in private. β
"Then check the big ship that docked at the nearest city pier within half a day's ride and departed yesterday. The docking location should be at the pier near Fangcai Nashuang Gorge. β
ββ¦β¦ Your Highness, I found it! Yangping Wharf is close to Shuangxia, yesterday there was a largest ship out in the middle of the night, it is said that there was a captain who saw the boat stop in the middle of the river, and then went to Jianzhou. The captain said that the kind of big ship that can go directly to the sea is a ship that often runs the route of Zhangxian County's sea outlet. Transporting fruits from Zhangxian to Tianjing. β
"That's it." Yan Sui was not surprised, and said lightly, "Chase!" β
β¦β¦
Some people are bloodied in the river, and some people enjoy chrysanthemums in the city.
This chrysanthemum is a chrysanthemum, and it is only suitable for ornamentation.
The people who appreciate the flowers are naturally Wen Zhen and Tang Xianzhi.
Tang Xianzhi was on the boat that day, and threw a bomb to Wen Zhen, which made Wen Zhen's eyes straight, his brain cramped, and he felt that Tang Xianzhi was possessed by Yan Sui - suddenly he couldn't keep up.
Please, the psychological construction of marrying him has not been completed yet, and the marriage will be completed in the blink of an eye? This car is driving too fast, dear!
was so anxious, she almost thought that Tang Xianzhi had a deep love for her.
According to her residual ancient dog blood reading memory, she promised to marry to officially marry to hire under the marriage to officially get married, as short as one or two years or as late as three or four years, although she is a little older in this era, almost eighteen years old, but she can't say that she will get married tomorrow today, and modern people don't get on the bus first and then make up the ticket so quickly.
What's more, it is the marriage of the heir of the Tang family.
Her original plan was that the emperor had said so, and she had to agree. promised to come down to the official marriage, presumably there must be a buffer of one or two years, and then we will see.
Maybe the Tang family will be reversed at that time?
She was in a daze there, Tang Xianzhi didn't seem to care, got up and walked away, Wen Zhen woke up, a little sneering, thinking that even if she was an undercover agent, she couldn't be so distracted, so her dreams and future were tied to this marriage.
The old lady said that Tang Xianzhi suddenly sent someone to pick her up, saying that Wen Zhen had been assigned to him by the emperor, and that he had asked his family to marry Wen Zhen in Tianjing, and that he would like to marry Wen Zhen in Tianjing first, and then return to northern Sichuan to do it again. Tianjing can't be too aggrieved by Wen Zhen this time, and hopes that there will be a mother's family to marry.
Wen Zhen asked the old lady, before the holy decree was issued, why did Tang Xian say that he would leave with him, and what if there was a fake. Old lady Wen said lightly: "The Tang family is powerful, I can't resist." If I resist, I will cause something to happen, and the gain will outweigh the loss. Go with him, if the marriage is true, it will naturally be fine. If it's fake...... I'm an old bone, and I'm not afraid of anything. β
She said it simply, but Wen Zhen understood what she meant. The old lady didn't know whether the marriage was true or not, but she was unwilling to resist on the spot, so as not to cause her trouble, and if she was sure that she was deceived into blackmailing Wen Zhen, she planned to die.
Mrs. Wen has always been a hard bone, Wen Zhen thought, she can't really let this hard bone break because of herself.
She asked the old lady why she was not optimistic about Yan Sui and Tang Xianzhi. Although because of the identities of Tang Xianzhi and Yan Sui, people of insight are unwilling to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. But she always felt that the reason why Mrs. Wen objected was not only this.
Old lady Wen was rarely stunned for a while, and then said, "Today is not a master who can be bullied. Unless the Tang family is willing to hand over power, sooner or later it will not be able to coexist with the royal family. However, it is impossible for the Tang family to hand over power. It is Tang Xian's willingness, and the various families and forces that are vassal to the Tang family are also unwilling. If you marry Tang Xianzhi, do you still expect to be the founding mother of the country? β
Wen Zhen laughed for a while. The founding lady still forgot it, the opening lady is almost the same.
"As for His Royal Highness King Yi, he is different from you, even I, a blind old woman in a deep house, have heard of it. It is said that His Royal Highness King Yi is neither a grandson nor a long-term heir, and his temperament is not lustful for power, so it would be good if you could be an idle princess. However, he is favored, and this has nothing to do with idleness...... O lord who is not to be deceived today......"
Wen Zhen thought that the two sentences in the two paragraphs appeared the same, the emperor was naturally not a lord to be bullied, and his weakness had nothing to do with whether he was wise or not.
What exactly does the old lady want to emphasize?
As a woman who was liked by the first emperor, she has often been in and out of the court since she was a child, what does she know?
But she can't ask, and Mrs. Wen won't tell her. It's not good to know more. Wen Zhen felt that it would not be a particularly important secret, otherwise the Wen family, Mrs. Wen would not exist for a long time, maybe it was just that Mrs. Wen was very sensitive and sensed something.
After half a day, the boat suddenly stopped, and a maid came to greet her, saying that the legendary Jucheng Weicheng, at this time it was the flower season and could not be missed, and the son asked the girl and the old lady to get off the boat to enjoy the flowers.
Of course, Wen Zhen will not take Qiao again, although after that toss, the spirit is not very good, but he still obeyed the arrangement and went to the deck, and the maid put a thin coat on her - it was actually embroidered with chrysanthemums, thousands of petals, stretched and overlapped, colorful and gorgeous.
Wen Zhen thought to himself about the wealthy family, the wealthy family, and the exquisiteness was outrageous.
Tang Xianzhi was waiting for her on the deck, still dressed in plain clothes, the corners and cuffs of the robe were also embroidered with heavy petals and delicate chrysanthemums, which were extremely light pale green chrysanthemums, which Wen Zhen had seen in the palace, a very rare variety, called 'rain over azure'. The flower shape is beautiful, the color is elegant, and he can't be lined again.
He stood on the deck, the pale green waist silk silk dance was also like flowers and leaves, like a wash under the blue sky, refreshing and pure, making people feel like washing, and the whole wharf women were looking at him.
He only looked at Wen Zhen.
The girl wore a thin collar with a high collar, and the collar was embroidered with a thousand green chrysanthemums, covering her face that was already the size of a palm, and her cheeks were pink and crimson on weekdays, and her lips were soft and soft, but they all looked a little pale at the moment, like a frosted flower, so beautiful. This made him feel a little distressed, and he couldn't help but think that the moment he first saw her, she jumped down from the waterfall and swam into a fish in the pool, she must not have known that when he looked up, he saw a light woman down the water in the bright morning sunshine, and for a moment almost thought that he had met a mountain elf.
It was indeed an elf, and he was underwater, quietly hugging his legs.
Through the water, he could feel the soft palms of her fingertips, and he could see her jet-black hair spreading in the clear water, and the water waves were slightly wrinkled because of her nervous trembling, and he suddenly wanted to reach out and caress the top of his hair.
He has been in northern Sichuan for the past 20 years, and he is the future master of northern Sichuan, noble and incoherent, and the women he meets, or those of similar status, are each noble; or subordinate retinues, and snort at him; There are also deliberately arrogant and lively people who attract him, all kinds of styles, thousands of styles, and I have seen too much.
He always smiles, praises and forgets the next second.
Because in those thousands of styles, there is always a core, scorching and shining, all aimed at the Tang character behind him. Because of this, those styles are mixed with hypocrisy, kneaded and artificial, showing a fakeness that cannot be hidden.
They are also reserved, in order to show in front of him a woman who is enough to make him respect, but he always feels that such a painstaking display is not noble.
Until he walked out of northern Sichuan, in the mountain fog, he met a brave and bold woman, dared to go into the mountains alone, dared to play with the enemy, dared to jump down the deep pool, and dared to hug a strange man under the pool.
For the first time in twenty years of his life, she amazed and admired a woman.
It also made him do something he would not have done for the first time in 20 years of his life.
He is Tang Xianzhi, born with the thousands of hopes of the Tang family, grew up with the best education in the world, and lived smoothly and calmly, driving the carriage of authority and wisdom, and never taking a fork in the road and the wrong path.
For the first time, she made an exception.
It's like the prophecy of fate, where there is a beginning, there is a future.
When I parted that day, I saw her wide eyes, which became more and more clear in the water, and her cheeks were slightly bulging, full as ripe peaches.
You can't help but want to pinch it.
He patted the water, and the light was so turbulent that he couldn't see her face clearly.
It seems that it has always been like this, the closer it is, the farther it becomes.
She was such a wise and well-behaved woman that she would leave him a grilled fish of thanks when she was saved. Even if he probably won't come back.
She is informal, but sober and prudent. The post station nibbled on duck wings and had a good conversation, but that night after he broke up with her, he walked through the flower wall and heard her inducing vomiting to himself.
She is also so clear and cunning. On the long street of Jiuli City, first repay the favor, and then dig a pit.
She also does not lose her principles and responsibility, even if Yan Sui puts pressure on her like that, she will not be afraid of it, everyone has a pancake, even Tang Muzhi, who was alive and die just now.
She opened a night market in the palace, founded Jianghu fishing, showed her style at the state banquet, and counted the blessing of longevity.
He had seen from an outsider a gemstone of exceptional brilliance, said to have been finely cut, with countless facets, and shining in the sun at every angle.
Her brightness refreshed his attention day by day, and in his heart, she gradually became such a gem - every side was brilliant, every side attracted his attention, and every side was a novelty and recourse that ordinary women could not give him.
In such a pursuit, he lost his heart and soul without even noticing it.
But he didn't even have the courage to pick it up - he had stood on the other side, and he had a frightening song, in the deep mountains and high-rise buildings at the beginning, who would have thought that that glance back would reflect the light of his subsequent life.
A string breaks, the covenant is broken, and the world is so big that it can accommodate infinite ambitions. The world is small, and there is no more than a smile.
It's because of this marriage contract.
He wants to tie up the feelings that may be weak in this life, even if it is just a false name, it can be regarded as a bond.
He also wants to make the last struggle and effort for her, using the existence of the Tang family and this last false peace to exchange for her advancement and green ladder.
He didn't know where fate would end up, but he knew that Providence was ruthless to him and her.
At that time, if you want to make amends, there will be no chance.
He curled his eyes slightly and smiled as he watched her.
Maybe you have made mistakes, and your fate is weak.
At least at this moment, she's by her side.
β¦β¦
Wen Zhen also went to the deck with the support of the maid, stood beside Tang Xianzhi, and after getting his timely support from him, the hatred value of the entire dock belonged to Wen Zhen.
Wen The old lady was always indifferent in front of people, and she didn't look close to this granddaughter, so she refused to walk with the two of them, and walked behind with her crutches straight.
After getting off the boat, there was a carriage to pick them up, Wen Zhen and Tang Xian, and the old lady sat alone. When Wen Zhen got into the car, he felt that his whole body was pierced into a sieve by the eyes of women.
Fearful.
She was in the car, subconsciously looked back at the dock, and sure enough, she saw that the gorgeous ship had left the dock and continued to move forward.
Tang Xianzhi, is this to avoid Yan Sui's tracking? Or do you want to lure Yan Sui's tracking?
Is the wedding at sea in a hurry to cook raw rice and mature rice, or is there another purpose?
Wen Zhen has always felt that she can't figure out Tang Xianzhi, at first she felt that she was an enemy, then she felt that she was also an enemy and a friend, and then she silently found out that it might not be the case, and now she no longer knows which file the relationship progress bar should read.
The carriage was smooth and made its way into the city without hindrance. The carriage is also full of chrysanthemum carvings, which is very customary. Wen Zhen wondered, could it be that the Tang family had its own business and a full set of equipment in each city? That's horrible, too.
She looked at the dazzling array of dim sum in front of her, and then looked at Tang Xianzhi opposite, he was not the kind of person who was particularly particular, there was a light of tea in front of him, a plate of chrysanthemum cake, and a thick stack of files, which seemed to be the account book report of their Tang family. He saw it quickly, and from time to time he drew one and handed it out, and immediately there was the sound of the fast horse following him turning his horse's head and leaving quickly.
Wen Zhen didn't want to look more, lowered his eyes, after all, he was not in good spirits, and he fell asleep after a while.
At first, there was no dream, and then I had a dream of a goddess scattering flowers, there were five-colored auspicious clouds in the dream, there was fairy music, the music was very wonderful, as soon as it was played, the flowers flew all over the sky, and those colorful flowers fell on the ground and became rain, she was still in a trance in her dream, how to describe it so beautiful and so good? The culture is too low, and the culture will only be too low!
Suddenly, those fairies came to her, dancing around her, and she thought in her dream that this is the treatment of the protagonist, ah, ah, ah, so good, where is the medical beauty...... Suddenly, the sound of the ethereal hypnotic music changed, and the rain on the ground poured down, sweeping away those beautiful medical beauties...... Then she woke up.
When he woke up, he saw Tang Xianzhi's smiling face, and the carriage was slightly dim, but his eyes and skin were shining crystal clear.
He held a flute in his hand and smiled apologetically: "I shouldn't have woken you up, but we've arrived." β
Wen Zhen sat up, only to feel a coolness in his chest, and the stinging sensation that had been slightly swimming in his body had weakened a lot, and he immediately understood that the fairy music in the dream just now was played by Tang Xianzhi, the purpose was to regulate her meridians, and when she saw the destination, she gave her a handful of rain sounds.
This thoughtful and meticulous person makes you feel like you have become a Mary Sue heroine all the time.
She got out of the car, and was a little surprised to find that it was already dark, and there were no flowers or flowers in the streets as she imagined, it was just an ordinary small valley-like place, there were a few equally ordinary houses, most of the houses were now lit off, only the opposite yard was still faintly lit.
"When I walked through the market, I wanted to call you to see the flowers, but then I thought that a good night's sleep would be better for you." Tang Xianzhi said behind her.
Wen Zhen could only thank him.
Tang Xianzhi ordered someone to go and tell the old lady that he was going to take Wen Zhen to visit the mountain Gaoshi, the other party had a strange temperament, afraid of bumping into the old lady, and it was late, the mountain road was rugged, and he asked the old lady to rest in the car. Mrs. Wen naturally responded.
Tang Xianzhi motioned for Wen Zhen to follow him. The mountain road was full of potholes, and he himself carried a lamp to lead the way, but the servants did not follow, and the carriage was parked far away on the side of the road.
When he arrived at the door of the small courtyard, Tang Xianzhi knocked on the door, and as soon as his finger fell on the door, there was a loud shout inside, "Everyone who comes in the middle of the night is a bad guest!" Don't open! β
Wen Zhen looked at the sky, the third watch of the gods was in the middle of the night, and it was only six or seven o'clock in modern times.
Tang Xianzhi didn't even knock it, and said softly: "Elder Fang hasn't seen him for a few years, and he is still so strong, congratulations." β
There was silence inside, and then the old man's voice came out, this time it was much softer, and there was a little doubt, "Xiao Tang? β
"Yes."
It was quiet for a long time, and then the old man said in a rough voice: "Come to see a doctor?" β
"Yes."
"Thirty thousand taels to open the door, nothing less."
"Yes."
"Your Tang family has a chance to save my life in me, only this time, are you sure you want to use it?"
When Wen Zhen heard this, she already felt uneasy and wanted to dissuade her, but she wasn't sure if this medical treatment was for herself, what if it wasn't?
She was afraid of embarrassment.
Tang Xianzhi still had that calm expression, without the slightest hesitation, "Yes." β
Wen Zhen couldn't help but pull his sleeve, and Tang Xianzhi suddenly squeezed her hand gently.
Wen Zhen was stunned, and she didn't expect him to suddenly make a move, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Tang Xianzhi's movements were very fast, and she let go as soon as she pinched it, she didn't have time to refuse, and she forgot what she was going to say.
For a moment, she felt a little sad - this person looked good at talking, but he had never really suffered a loss. Now that she has become her fiancΓ©, she has already begun to silently declare her ownership, which is really asking for the fulfillment of her husband's power......
Will you poison him or deceive him?
Which medication is appropriate?
There is also this only chance to save his life, this old man is a miracle doctor at first glance, how important this opportunity is to the martial artist, if it is really given to her, this favor will be owed......
While she was thinking, there was already the sound of footsteps inside, and the old man said as he walked, "You have come unfortunately. The sleeve guest went to the mountains to collect medicine. If you want me to say, when will you marry ......?"
The door creaked open, and the oil lamp illuminated a face, smooth and without wrinkles, only the hair was already gray.
Wen Zhen was another layer of accidents, listening to the voice and tone outside the house, he was obviously an old man, and he didn't want to look like he was only forty years old.
But when he heard Tang Xianzhi call him Mr. Fang, he also saluted and called Mr. Fang.
The ageless old man Fang's temper was synchronized with his voice, as soon as he opened the door and saw Wen Zhen, his face darkened, and he didn't let people in, he held on to the door frame, stared at Wen Zhen for a long time, and asked Tang Xianzhi, "Who is she?" β
Wen Zhen blinked. She has a feeling of being faced by a jealous and vicious female partner, how can she be broken?
Tang Xianzhi handed over a thick stack of silver tickets, and introduced with a smile, "This is my fiancΓ©e Wen Zhen." β
The old man subconsciously took the silver ticket, and when he heard this, his hand shook, Wen Zhen stared at his hand, ready to rescue the silver ticket in time after he smashed the silver ticket goddess Scattered flowers back on Tang Xianzhi's face and roared angrily Why did you lie to my granddaughter This line came out.
However, in the end, the silver ticket was not smashed back, and Old Man Fang frowned and said, "Who wants to see a doctor?" β
Tang Xianzhi said: "Wen Zhen has some trouble. β
The old man paused again, and Tang Xianzhi had already reminded with a smile: "Mr. Fang, you have never returned the money after receiving it." β
Old Man Fang snorted, opened the door, and said, "Come in." As he walked inside with a lantern, he said, "Didn't you have dinner?" β
Wen Zhen was thinking, why did this suddenly improve his emotional intelligence? Then I heard him say, "But I won't make it for you." Outside food is also not allowed here. β
Without waiting for Tang Xianzhi to say anything, Wen Zhen had already said, "That's okay, Mr. Fang, you always have vegetables in the kitchen, right?" I'll just make it for you. β
"That's an additional fee, a thousand taels." The old man said blankly, "And I don't eat the pig food you make." β
"Okay, okay." Wen Zhen smiled sweetly.
Tang Xianzhi also smiled and winked at her. But he said: "It's hard to cook, forget it." Let's go back to the carriage and have some snacks, in fact, if it wasn't for the sake of treating you as soon as possible, we should have finished eating in the town. β
Wen Zhen smiled and shook his head.
Dare to scold her for being pig food?
Girl, I have to tell you to grab pig food!
I want you to spit out everything you swallowed!"
------Off topic------
added a piece of Tang Xianzhi's mental journey. Many readers can't understand Tang's feelings, why did they suddenly come to this point. In fact, the fairy suffers more, because of some hidden lines and character reasons, his actions and psychology can not be written clearly, and it will be spoilers when he writes, and he can only rely on the reader himself to push from the clues, so it is difficult to have an intuitive feeling of his emotions and psychology, think about it a little sorry for the fairy.
