Chapter 77. Heart

"What do you mean by that?" Back in the inn room, I asked as I poured myself tea, but I could guess a little.

Shen Fengyue's face has been ugly since she saw the wanted notice, and she was even a little more gloomy than me.

"Who do you think reported the news that Leng Qingqian is still alive?" He asked, staring into my eyes.

What he meant...... In order to find me, Ling Niankong reported to the emperor that Leng Qingqian, who everyone thought had fallen off the cliff and died, was actually still alive? But how could a person like him who turned his hands into clouds and his hands for rain in Shengjing use such a risky method?

Shen Fengyue should have guessed my thoughts, and snorted lightly: "Ling Niankong has indeed installed his own people up and down Shengjing, but he is not so capable after Shengjing. Your exile in Yuqiong Mountain is beyond everyone's expectations. He went into the mountains alone to save you, while his men were fighting the Assassins. Even if his subordinates found out that Ling Niankong was missing afterwards, they could only return to Beijing with the holy driver first, after all, they had just experienced an assassination, and no one dared to slack off. Therefore, after Ling Niankong goes down the mountain, there should not be too many helpers around him. A strategist like him will not go looking for you alone like a headless fly, he will only rush back to Shengjing and use his own hands to find you. And for these two days I have deliberately sent someone to cover your whereabouts, and he will not find anyone. But I didn't expect him to find you in this way. ”

I couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear him say this, although we haven't been swaggering in the past few days, but we haven't deliberately hidden our identities at all. That person never came, I thought he really let go, it turned out that Shen Fengyue was still secretly covering my whereabouts.

And Ling Niankong couldn't find me, but he borrowed the power of the imperial court. He was so unscrupulous that he thought he was going to get me back. But if I was really arrested, I would have been questioned by the emperor, and the situation was not under his control at all...... Or has he already thought of a perfect way to deal with it?

My heart gradually sank, and I looked at Shen Fengyue, his expression was still gloomy. I hesitated, then took out a neatly folded piece of paper from my bosom, gently unfolded it, and placed the words on it face to him and placed it on the table.

He lowered his eyelashes and caught a glimpse of the square red mark above the paper, and raised an eyebrow at me. "What does that mean?"

I looked at him and said seriously, "This is the monthly salary I have saved since I became a medical officer." I know that this silver is not worth mentioning to Shen Gongzi, but these days thanks to Gongzi's care, except for this silver ticket, I really don't know how to repay it. ”

Shen Fengyue seemed to see that I still had something to say, so she didn't say a word, and only picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.

I continued: "Ling Niankong, this person is extremely deep and ruthless, he uses this extreme way to find me, he must not stop until he achieves his goal. As an envoy from a foreign country, Shen Gongzi may be treated favorably by the Emperor Nanli, but Ling Niankong will not care about your identity. Now you help me like this, if he is detected by him in the future, I am afraid it will be bad for my son. ”

"So?" Shen Fengyue's words were full of indifference, but I still couldn't help but want to persuade him: "Childe doesn't have to make enemies with that person for me, just ask Childe to leave tomorrow." And this silver ticket...... "I pushed the silver ticket at him again." "I can only take out this silver now, and if I have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I will definitely pay back all the money I owe you."

After hearing my words, Shen Fengyue actually chuckled twice. I didn't understand what he was laughing at, I could only look at him suspiciously.

"You're right, it's time to leave tomorrow." He said lightly, picked up the silver ticket on the table, looked at it for a moment, and then looked at me. I smiled at him. As if to capture the persistence in my eyes, he didn't say anything more, just put the silver ticket in his sleeve, turned and left the room.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: no one should be implicated by me this time.

For the rest of the day, I have been nesting in my room to plan for my future: since Ling Niankong's momentum is in Shengjing, then Shengjing can't go back. But now that I'm a wanted criminal, it seems that I'm in danger of being caught wherever I go, so I may have to find a remote village to hide and then make plans.

suddenly remembered the pair of Yin brothers and sisters I met in Biyun. Yin's family is in a remote village outside Chaoshui Town, so it is better to hide there for a while and wait for the limelight to pass before making plans.

Now that I've decided, I packed my luggage. Looking at the large bags of things that I had just bought back from the street, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten my situation with Shen Fengyue in the past few days.

With a wry smile, he tapped his head like Shen Fengyue, how could I forget all my troubles because of this just a few days of leisure?

Suddenly felt a little pity, Shen Fengyue is actually not bad, and even very interesting, if it weren't for Ling Niankong, maybe I could really be friends with this arrogant Shen Gongzi......

Because many of the things in the room were bought by Shen Fengyue, I was really embarrassed to keep them all for myself, and only packed up the necessary ones. As for the silver money, in addition to the silver ticket given to Shen Fengyue, I still have broken silver written on me, which should still be used for a few days in a remote village. When I got there, I was looking at the specific situation, hoping to find a way to make a living with my medical skills.

When I separated from Ling Niankong in Yuqiong Mountain before, I had actually thought about how to go in the future, but I didn't expect that I would become a wanted criminal in Quannanli anyway, so I could only think about it in the long run.

Maybe it's because of the overuse of the brain, and after only two hours of dinner in the room, the eyelids began to disobey. So I don't force myself, anyway, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, with the wisdom of modern people and 30 years of experience, it should not be difficult for me to survive in this ancient society......

The next morning, before dawn, I heard the sound of ping-pong moving luggage outside, mixed with human voices. I was still sleepy, but I pricked up my ears and made out that it was Rin and Sin whispering. It looks like they're really leaving.

Although it was still early, I didn't know when the next meeting would be, so I still reluctantly got up and washed myself, in order to say goodbye to them.

As soon as I finished washing my face, I heard someone knocking on the door. I hurriedly answered and walked over to open the door. As soon as the door opened, Shen Fengyue, who was dressed in red, entered the house head-on, walked directly to the round table in the room and sat down, not treating herself as an outsider at all.

I couldn't figure out his intentions, and then I looked at Rin and Sin helplessly. The two stood by the door like door gods, one left and one right, expressionless. I pouted, forget it, these two ice cubes are asking in vain.

I returned to the house, sat down opposite Shen Fengyue, and said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi, what are you singing here?" ”

Before he could reply, a man came in with a tray and respectfully set a plate of delicate side dishes on the table, and at the end was shortbread and porridge. "You two, please use it slowly." With that, the man exited the room.

I slandered: This guy got up early in the morning and tossed, and he hasn't eaten breakfast yet.

He picked up his chopsticks and handed them to me. "What? Can't eat it? ”

I snatched the chopsticks and said hatefully: "Shen Fengyue, if you don't damage me, will I die?!" ”

As if amused by me, he chuckled and picked up a piece of shortbread and stuffed it into my mouth without saying a word. "Eat."

I wanted to scold, but my mouth was blocked, so I had to stare at him and chew hard.

When he saw me like this, the smile on his face was even greater, but he stopped talking and began to eat slowly.

The meal was finally finished, but he had no intention of leaving. I pretended to be disgusted: "Shen Fengyue, why are you still here?" ”

He chuckled out loud and looked very happy. "Do you think this son can be sent away so easily?" As he spoke, he pulled out the silver ticket I had given him yesterday from his sleeve. "Your little bit of silver is not enough to pay for a meal for my son, and you are embarrassed to say that it is compensation for me? What else do you say that you have a fate to pay it back in the future, if you avoid me like hiding from Ling Niankong in the future, who will I go to? I owe it to others, but I don't allow anyone to owe me! ”

I gritted my teeth secretly: this Shen Fengyue is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. "And what do you want?"

"I think? ......" He raised an eyebrow, his eyes rolling around my face. "I naturally want you to go back to the north with me, and replace what should be returned before leaving."

The corners of my mouth twitched uncontrollably. "Shen Gongzi, you personally said that I was stupid and ugly, and asked me to follow you back to the north, don't you think it's an eyesore?"

"Who made you owe me?" Shen Fengyue looked like a scoundrel. "How about it, do you want to come with me?"

I snorted. "Childe said that he would let me go with you willingly, could it be that you didn't do what you said?"

"Count naturally." He looked into my eyes. "As long as you follow me, I promise that you will no longer have to hide in Tibet with a fake face and live without freedom. By my side, you will be able to live with dignity. You can do what you want, go where you want, and I won't limit you in the slightest except for the one thing that goes back north with me. That man can't give you freedom anyway, I'll give it. Including the current choice, it is completely up to you to make. His eyes softened little by little, and they were full of sincerity. So, what's your choice? He asked patiently, without the slightest hint of urging or coercion.

I thought that Shen Fengyue would put me in a dilemma like Ling Niankong and force me to make the choice he wanted. But he didn't, he was just whispering, not coercing. He even knew what I craved the most.

Ever since I came here, I've been limited by that person at every turn, and I have no freedom to speak, and I've even had to hide my true face and change my name. Although this kind of life is not more than a month, it makes me feel suffocated. I have always been a person who yearns for freedom, and I have always put freedom first in my life for more than 30 years. And when I met Ling Niankong, I was deprived of freedom, which is why even if I was sad, I still insisted on leaving him.

I thought that among these rule-abiding ancients, no one would understand my eager desire for freedom, but I didn't want Shen Fengyue to understand. Oh no, I forgot, Shen Fengyue himself is a man who is free and easy by nature, so he understands......

"I ...... Can I trust you? My heart softened and I whispered to him.

He smiled. "I guess you know the answer yourself, don't you?"

I smiled back at him. "Thank you, Shen Fengyue."

He gently touched my head. "Let's go."
