Chapter 11. Wrong payment
The old man continued: "After the establishment of the Xuanyi Army, it caused a sensation inside and outside the imperial court. Everyone wanted to know who the Ling Commander of this blade demon girl was. Among them was Leng Yihan, the general who protected the country at the time. Leng Yihan has been on the battlefield for many years, what kind of martial arts wizard has he never seen? But he praised Commander Ling without talking a few words, and even invited him to the mansion as a guest, and even intended to marry his only daughter. But do you know that this daughter of the Leng family has already had a marriage contract with Yue Linglan, the prince of Nanli? ”
Everyone was shocked, and a tea guest couldn't help but ask: "What is so special about this Ling Commander that he can be so deeply recognized by General Leng?" Let General Leng give up his low-hanging fruit as the future ruler of the country? ”
The storyteller replied: "It is said that this Ling Commander has a stunning appearance, world-beating martial arts, and a strategy for strategizing, as well as a lingering poetry, which can be described as both chivalrous and tender. ”
I sneered, and couldn't help but speak: "Although Leng Yihan is a military general, after all, he has been an official in the court for many years, how can he easily give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send his daughter to the throne?" ”
After finishing speaking, I saw that Kong'er and Luanxi both looked at me in surprise, so I had to add: "Don't let go of the position of the national ruler, you have to marry your daughter to a hairy boy who has just entered the government and the opposition, even if the surname Ling has the ability to reach the sky?" has no power, no connections, just a mustard plant, and it will break when it encounters the wind. This cold general is either in the water in his brain, or ......"
Thunder exploded in my head, and I suddenly stopped talking. But his thoughts did not stop: if he had not been in the water in his brain, he must have other plans. But what could be the intention that he would turn away the opportunity to marry the royal family without even blinking an eye? Could it be ...... Could it be that this General Leng has the ambition to subvert the government and the opposition? And the one surnamed Ling is the main help he chose?
Yes, Na Ling commanded martial arts and scheming, and had such a past that extraordinary people could bear, so he would not easily bow down. When he first entered the court, he still had no connections, and he happened to meet Leng Yihan who was in urgent need of talents for a great cause. If Leng Yi and Han succeed, as a first-class hero, his future is needless to say. This is much better than doing things for the emperor and starting from scratch, so the two hit it off.
That's right! That's it, Leng Yihan must have intended to rebel, so he risked offending the emperor and insisted on repenting of his marriage. As for how he managed to divorce his daughter without avoiding the wrath of the emperor, it is unknown. However, for Leng Yihan, who is bent on rebellion, this should not be difficult. As the so-called success and defeat of the king, no matter how beautiful the emperor of the past was, once overthrown, his fate would be hundreds of times worse than that of the common people. Knowing this, he would never push his own daughter into the fire pit.
Coming to such a conclusion, I will inevitably be shaken in my heart, but I am afraid that the peaceful days after this Nanli will not be too long.
Retracting his thoughts, he only heard a tea guest sigh: "Alas, it's a pity that a good talent like Commander Ling was ravaged and trampled by the devil in his early years. Fortunately, General Leng is not a pedantic person, and he doesn't care much about his non-virgin body. ”
"Not bad." The old man continued: "However, General Leng's daughter Leng Qingqian is by no means an idle person, she has been fluent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, especially playing the piano well. It is said that when she was only 14 years old, she played a song "Butterfly Sigh" on the side of the moat, which attracted butterflies to fly and dance around it. Those who listen to it don't know the taste of meat in March. Leng Qingqian also got the title of the first talented woman in Nanli because of this. ”
"What a talented and beautiful couple!"
However, another tea guest sighed: "Alas...... It's a pity, it's a pity......"
The people looked at the man and the old storyteller. A tea guest couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Why is it a pity?" ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at each other and looking anxious, the old man took over the conversation with a row of shocked trees:
"That girl of the Leng family has eyes above the top since she was a child, and she didn't have the slightest affection for someone Ling when she first saw her. The surnamed Ling worked hard to finally capture the girl's heart, but unfortunately after Ling won the heart of the beauty, he trampled that heart under his feet. ”
Everyone was shocked, but I raised my eyebrows with interest: Interesting, this surnamed Ling is not an idle person, he treats the daughter of the Leng family like this, he is afraid that his affection for her is fake, and the use is true. It seems that he is not willing to do things for Leng Yihan, he should have a bigger plan. But isn't he afraid of putting himself in a desperate situation by doing so?
A tea guest was dissatisfied: "Hey old man, don't sell it!" Tell us more about what's going on. ”
I didn't want another tea customer, but I sneered lightly: "You're from out of town, right?" Haven't heard of such a big thing? Two years ago, Leng Yihan was found to have colluded with the Beili royal family and sentenced to death, but you don't know about it? ”
Everyone was also shocked when they heard this, and then they all suddenly realized that they had not connected the story they had just heard with the big event in the mouth of the tea guest.
The old man spoke again: "This guest officer is right. Three years ago, not long after Na Ling was first enthroned by the emperor, he was secretly summoned by the emperor. It turned out that the emperor had long suspected that Leng Yihan was secretly colluding with the Beili royal family, but he was unable to punish him because he had no evidence. However, the emperor also knew that this Ling was by no means an idle person, and if he was not entrusted with a heavy task, he would probably become a traitor, so he sent Ling Commander to approach Leng Yihan, waiting for an opportunity to search for evidence in order to catch him all. And the one surnamed Ling is worthy of being a ruthless person who has eaten human flesh and drunk human blood. After getting Leng Yihan's approval, he further selected the fourteen-year-old Leng Qingqian as the target to approach, and tried his best to win the heart of the beauties, so he naturally gained the freedom to enter and leave Leng Mansion at will. And in the course of this year, Ling obtained key evidence. When the evidence was presented, the Son of Heaven was furious and ordered the killing of the nine clans of the Leng clan. ”
"What about Leng Qingqian?" A tea guest asked.
When the girl of the Leng family first got the news, she didn't believe it, so she went to question it in person, but all she got was Ling someone's cynicism. The daughter of the Leng family knew that she couldn't escape the fate of being killed by the court, so she committed suicide on the spot. ”
I sighed slightly, and couldn't help but say: "This Leng Qing is unparalleled in talent, and the name is in the south, but he still can't escape a love word." What's the point of questioning in person, a smart person like her already knows it, so why throw away even the last trace of self-esteem? What do you gain by doing so? It's just that I was unwilling to hand it over with my heart, but I didn't get the due return. But this is how things are, especially love. There is no such thing as breaking even in love, or in other words, in love, pure truth will not work. You give, and the other party can not appreciate it at all, because love is love, and not love is not love. Asking the other party why they didn't give the corresponding reward was just a humiliation. ”
After finishing speaking, I realized that I had said such a large paragraph, and I usually only think about it in my heart, but how could I say it today? I don't know how the two people around me will react when they hear it, so I looked at the sky first, and found that he had no expression, thinking that he should not understand. looked at Luanxi again, but she was stunned, only to see that she was already looking at me with tears on her face and pity in her eyes.
What's wrong with her? Before I could think about it, she grabbed my hand and said in a choked voice, "Xuan'er, you really ...... I really don't remember anything. The tone was as if it were asking as well as talking to oneself. I wondered: I didn't see her so sad when I told her I didn't remember her, what was wrong with her?
I didn't know how to react, so I had to laugh dryly: "Hehe, I said I don't remember, can there be a fake?" ”
I didn't dare to look at her anymore, I looked into the hall on the first floor, but found that many tea customers had left the table, and the old storyteller had disappeared.
I patted Luanxi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go too, it's not early, I'm going back with Kong'er." ”
Luan Xi seemed to have lost his soul, slowly got up, and walked out. I pulled the air and followed.
I didn't say anything all the way, and I just wanted to say goodbye to Luanxi, but I saw a black shadow with a dazzling silver light coming straight towards me!
I was shocked, and before I could react, I felt my arm tighten, and I was pulled to the side with a strong force. The person who could only hear it anxiously asked, "Is there something wrong with Xuan'er?" ”
I shook my head and immediately looked towards Luanxi, only to see that the tip of the sword that was originally stabbing at me, because of my dodge, it was stabbing towards Luanxi at the moment, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was getting closer and closer to Luanxi's chest, he suddenly saw one of Luanxi's guards flying in front of Luanxi. Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade piercing through the flesh was accompanied by a muffled grunt.
"Murder!" When a woman saw this, she screamed loudly, and the orderly market was suddenly thrown into chaos, and the pedestrians fled in all directions. Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin flew away.
I hurried to the wounded guard, only to see a bloody hole in his chest on the right side, and blood was gushing out. I quickly crouched down to examine the wound. When the guard saw me leaning down, it seemed that he had something to say, but as soon as he moved his lips, blood spurted out of his nose and mouth at the same time. This was clearly a puncture in the lungs.
I calmly said, "Don't speak, I'll save you." ”
