Chapter 379: Generous Gifts
According to the news that Lin Yingxue found before, Qu Yang came to this point because the prefect of Yuzhou helped and raised points all the way, so Qu Yang and Shi Yongzhi have always been very close, and later Qu Yang married Shi Yongzhi's daughter.
This marriage was originally a rope that made the relationship between Qu Yang and Shi Yongzhi closer, but unfortunately Shi Yongzhi's eldest daughter already had a sweetheart before she got married.
The sweetheart is a poor scholar, and Xiucai, who has been admitted for several years, has not been admitted, and he has to rely on Miss Shi to help him live on weekdays.
Shi Yongzhi had long seen that the poor scholar was not pleasing to the eye, and he just wanted to break up the two, but his eldest daughter was like a demon, he was beaten and closed, but people still had a deep affection for the poor scholar.
Shi Yongzhi had no choice, so he forcibly contracted Miss Shi to marry and gave someone to marry.
Although Miss Shi was married, she was depressed all day long, washing her face with tears, but the matter has come to this, and Miss Shi has some resignation in her heart.
At this time, if Qu Yang is a caring person, he takes good care of Miss Shi on weekdays, maybe the two of them can be a good couple who respect each other like guests.
But Qu Yang is a military general, with big nerves, in addition to fighting and killing all day long, he drinks until he gets drunk, and he doesn't know how to care about his beautiful wife at home.
Miss Shi looked at her unattractive and rough and vulgar husband, and she missed her former lover who was literary and handsome.
Let's ask how the relationship between the two can be good after such a long time?
Qu Yang is a violent temper, and Miss Shi is even more arrogant, the two quarrel almost every day, but because of Miss Shi's identity, Qu Yang doesn't dare to do anything to Miss Shi.
Therefore, Miss Shi also intensified her efforts, at first she just didn't let Qu Yang enter the room, and now she doesn't give a copper plate to this General Qu.
If Qu Yang wants to go out to drink and have fun, he must beg this Miss Shi in a low voice, but let me ask Qu Yang, a dignified general, how can a seven-foot man who kills the enemy on the battlefield without even blinking his eyes do such a humiliating thing?
So Qu Yang could only hold on, relying on his identity to give credit outside every day, at the beginning, the shopkeepers of those restaurants and shops were hindered by Qu Yang's identity to give him a little face, but over time, Qu Yang owed too much, and those people didn't give Qu Yang any good face.
Thinking about it so carefully, Quyang, a great general, is not treated by his wife and subordinates in the mansion, and he is notorious outside, and almost everyone spurns him, which is really pitiful!
But this is also a great opportunity to stir up the relationship between Qu Yang and Shi Yongzhi!
"Heh......" Lin Yingxue looked at Qu Yang and smiled softly, her smile was gentle and bright.
"In fact, the king has already returned to Hanshan safely, but it is just to hide people's eyes, so he did not spread the news." Lin Yingxue released a smoke bomb to bewitch Qu Yang: "If you look at the current situation, the power of the Northwest King is indeed inferior to that of the emperor of the current dynasty. ”
"But as the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, if you talk about word of mouth, who can compare with the king of the northwest when the emperor of the dynasty and even the king of southern Xinjiang who wants to compete for power?"
Lin Yingxue's words can be regarded as hitting Qu Yang's heart, seeing a slightly wavering look on Qu Yang's face, Lin Yingxue lowered the smile in her eyebrows and eyes, and continued to hit the railroad while it was hot: "Moreover, the king of southern Xinjiang asked the Yuzhou army for cooperation, but what he valued was General Qu's father-in-law. ”
"Dare to ask General Qu, after the king of Southern Xinjiang came to Yuzhou, did he have to summon you, the general with a military talisman, alone?"
With a 'snort', Lin Yingxue's words seemed to be like a sharp blade that pierced deep into Qu Yang's heart.
He clenched his fists and carefully recalled, it seemed that the only two meetings he had with the king of Nanjiang were with his father-in-law, and many of the details of the plan were directly discussed with his father-in-law before being conveyed to him.
In vain, he held a talisman in his hand and was in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but in the end he could only become a pawn who acted according to orders!
"Damn it!" Qu Yang was furious, and couldn't help but slam his fist on the wine table beside him.
Looking at the small pit that suddenly appeared on the wine table, Lin Yingxue secretly couldn't help but shake her head a little distressed-she was afraid that she would have to pay for an extra table when she settled the bill.
"General Qu can think about it, if he continues to work hard for the emperor of the current dynasty and even the king of southern Xinjiang, General Qu will probably only become an empty shell with a name, but if General Qu turns to the king of the northwest, my king guarantees that General Qu will be reused."
Lin Yingxue's words were obviously very tempting, and seeing that Qu Yang was deep in thought, Lin Yingxue also stood up.
After squatting and talking for so long, Lin Yingxue was also a little tired, and while she moved her muscles and bones, she glanced at the guards on the side.
The guard nodded and walked in again, only this time with an extra wooden box in his hand.
Lin Yingxue motioned for the guards to open the wooden box and bring it to Qu Yang, and released the final blow: "This is a little caution from the King of the Northwest, and it should be a meeting gift to General Qu." ”
"It doesn't matter if General Qu doesn't agree, our king has also prepared a generous gift for General Qu, and General Qu will know when he goes back and say goodbye."
Lin Yingxue said that, without waiting for Qu Yang to answer, she turned around and walked out of the door of the private room with someone.
As soon as Lin Yingxue and the others left, the private room suddenly became empty, Qu Yang looked at the large box of white flowers and silver on the table, and only felt that something was sprouting in his heart, and he tried hard to break through the ground at a speed that he couldn't suppress.
Qu Yang definitely didn't dare to bring the silver back to the mansion openly, he found a hidden place to hide the silver, and then hurriedly walked towards the general's mansion.
Before he arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Qu Yang saw the entire General's Mansion in flames from a distance, remembering that Lin Yingxue said that he would give him a big gift when he left, he suddenly began to be a little excited, and this excitement was mixed with a little nervousness.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry!"
As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw that the entire mansion was in chaos, and even when Qu Yang came back, those subordinates didn't take care of it.
Looking at the direction of the firelight, Qu Yang suddenly had some guesses in his heart, he walked quickly towards the backyard, and sure enough, he saw that the courtyard where the fire broke out was the main courtyard!
Don't...... Qu Yang couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, and he almost trembled a little and pulled a passing subordinate and asked urgently, "What about Madame?" ”
Seeing that Qu Yang's face was very strange, the little guy thought that Qu Yang was here because he was worried, so he couldn't help but cry and said: "Back to the general, the little ones have searched the entire general's mansion and haven't seen the figure of the lady, the lady is probably ......."
He's dead? Qu Yang let go of his hand and let the little guy leave quickly, while he turned his head to look at the fire again.
I saw that the courtyard, which was fine this morning, had been completely swallowed up by the flames in the sky at this moment, and if there had been a living person in it beforehand, I am afraid that it would have already become a corpse.
Is this the great gift that the counsellor said he would give him? Qu Yang had to try his best to hold back so as not to put a smile on his face.
As soon as this woman dies and no one cares about him in the future, won't he let him go free?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden noise of footsteps behind him.
Qu Yang turned his head to look and saw Shi Yongzhi hurrying over surrounded by a large group of people.
"Daughter!" Looking at the sea of fire in the sky, Shi Yongzhi could barely stand.
"Father-in-law." Qu Yang arched his hand towards Shi Yongzhi, and forced down the excitement in his heart and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, Fluttershy may have something to do and is not in the house......"
"Out of the house?" Shi Yongzhi was anxious, so he involuntarily transferred his anger to Qu Yang, "You didn't go home so late, you drank and fooled around outside, and now there is an accident in the house, and Die'er's life and death are unknown!" ”
"You're still talking about it here, I'm so blind that I would let Fluttershy marry you!"
Shi Yongzhi, as Quyang's teacher, usually has some arrogance in front of Quyang, but he has never said Quyang so ruthlessly.
was obviously angry in front of him, so he didn't care about Qu Yang's face at all, and began to insult Qu Yang in front of a group of subordinates.
When the people passing by heard this, they couldn't help but cast strange glances at Qu Yang.
Qu Yang lowered his head, only to feel a burst of heat on his face, and the feeling was even more uncomfortable than the tongue of fire behind him.
It took several hours for the fire to be extinguished, and it was not until the morning light was light that the fire was completely extinguished.
Looking at the scorched black and ruins in front of him, Shi Yongzhi, who had been guarding all night, almost fainted.
"Go and see if there's a corpse inside......" Shi Yongzhi commanded his subordinates with the last shred of hope.
Qu Yang's heart also rose high, and his eyes followed the movements of his subordinates, until he saw his subordinates carrying out a charred corpse from the house, and his hanging heart fell high.
"Old man......" people want to talk and stop-
The corpse had been burned into a pile of black coal, and its original face could not be seen at all, but the identity of the corpse could still be vaguely identified through the unburned jewelry on the corpse.
The moment he saw the corpse, Shi Yongzhi's last glimmer of hope was completely shattered.
His eyes went dark, and he fell backwards unconsciously.
"Master, master!" The subordinates behind Shi Yongzhi hurriedly supported the person, and after a period of hurried treatment, Shi Yongzhi woke up leisurely.
"Father-in-law......" Qu Yang is really not a person who is too good at talking, he held it for a long time, and finally his face turned red, and he could only spit out a sentence: "Father-in-law's Day mourning!" ”
Although Qu Yang has tried hard to make himself look heartbroken, it is a pity that his acting skills are really not very good.
So much so that Shi Yongzhi's eyes gradually began to be wrong when he looked at Qu Yang, "Send someone down to check on me, find out how this fire came about, and how Die'er died!" If I catch the murderer of Butterfly, I will definitely peel him and cramp his tendons! ”
Shi Yongzhi didn't know who he was saying this, Qu Yang only felt a chill in his back when he listened to it, and a panic involuntarily rose in his heart-
What are you afraid of, the person was killed over there, and no matter how you check, you can't find your head.
Qu Yang tried to comfort himself, but he was still faintly uneasy in his heart.
