Chapter 178: Exposed
The moment she saw Lin Mu, all the entanglements were blown away by the wind, and all her thoughts were nowhere to be found under those clear eyes, and the corners of her slightly hooked mouth seemed to be laughing at her extravagant hopes.
In the backyard.
This scene seems familiar, Zhang Youtao looked at the upright figure of the young man, lowered her eyes, "I keep in mind what I promised Mr., and I don't need to be reminded by Mr. again." ”
Lin Mu glanced at her with a smile, not believing it, "I hope what Miss Zhang said is from the bottom of my heart and not from fooling." ”
The eyes that seemed to see through everything and the straightforward words made all Zhang Youtao's careful thoughts become shameful, her cheeks blushed, and she could obviously refute it, but when she met those eyes, she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth.
Is there really anyone in this world who can read people's hearts?
Zhang Youtao suddenly felt like a dream, that feeling was very subtle, like an ant biting at the tip of the heart, crispy and numb, so that the heart couldn't suppress curiosity, but forgot that ants can also bite people.
"The girl should know that His Royal Highness the Sixth and you should not be all the way." Lin Mu is very good at grasping people's hearts, and even picks what she cares about.
Oh, yes! If there were no accidents, they would have been two people who had no communication, a high-ranking prince and an ordinary person.
Zhang Youtao felt the sourness rising as soon as she opened her mouth, and half-tilted her head, "I know." ”
Maybe she was an accident, but she couldn't change others, and the path that fate had already been destined for was definitely not something she could struggle.
has seen too much of Jiang Yiling's lofty and strategizing appearance, and asking him to accompany her for a lifetime from now on, it is really cruel to be indifferent to fame and fortune.
"What do you know?" A voice mixed with anger sounded without warning.
Both of them were startled and hurriedly turned back.
A figure walked out of the dilapidated wooden door, with waves brewing in his deep eyes, and the surrounding aura became cold, as if the calm before the storm.
Zhang Youtao opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but she didn't know how to speak.
Jiang Yiling's face was dark and calm, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, he didn't hide his irritability at all, and his jaw twitched a few times, "I don't know when it's your turn to call the shots in my affairs?" ”
The head of the conversation pointed directly at Lin Mu, and all the anger around him burst out, if it weren't for Lin Mu being a literati, I'm afraid it wouldn't be such a simple question now!
Lin Mu stood steadily, leaning over and saluting, "Don't dare to go down." ”
This answer is like a punch in the air, which makes people's anger headache and chest tightness, and even if you beat someone, the breath is still blocked in the throat and people are choked.
The slightly hooked corners of Lin Mu's mouth showed his confidence, now in this situation, Jiang Yiling really won't move him, or as long as Jiang Yiling wants to be an ordinary person, he won't show the momentum of a prince.
But he miscalculated, even if Jiang Yiling wants to be an ordinary person again, he will not lose the things engraved in his bones.
I saw the figure in front of him flickering, Jiang Yiling was already standing in front of Lin Mu, grabbing his clothes, and his eyes had returned to calm, "It seems that Mr. has other ideas, so this is not suitable for you." ”
He let go slowly, there seemed to be no anger in those words, and there was no bottom in his dark eyes, but only those who were familiar with him knew that he was patient.
"Your Highness shouldn't be so decadent, aren't your ambitions gone?" Lin Mu twisted his eyebrows.
"I don't need you to teach me!" Jiang Yiling roared, his eyes scarlet.
Xu is movement here is too big, attracting Daddy Zhang in the house, "Oops! Why are you all standing here, come in and sit down, I'll let Bai Ning go to the town to barbecue meat, and make it for you to eat in the evening. ”
Zhang Youtao came back from fear and pulled the corners of her mouth, "Dad, go in first!" ”
I'm afraid today's things can't be good, her eyes flashed with pain, who wants to come to this point? However, the world is impermanent, and God's favorite thing is to joke with them.
Daddy Zhang has lived for dozens of years, and immediately noticed the strange atmosphere from it, laughed twice, and turned around to enter the house.
It is the busy farming season now, and the Zhang family is the only one in the Zhang family.
Zhang Youtao tugged at Jiang Yiling's sleeve, "Let's talk." ”
Standing on the hillside, you can see the whole village, one after another low mud houses, simple and ordinary.
The sun is setting, the sunlight is out of temperature, and the red sky is like a fire, making it impossible to look at it directly.
Zhang Youtao simply sat down, patted the position next to her, and raised her head to pull out a smile, "The sixth prince doesn't dislike it, right?" ”
Jiang Yiling was angry, since he was a child, the only person who could make him helpless was probably the woman in front of him, he sat down, and his dark robe was suddenly stained with weeds and soil, but he didn't care.
"What do you want to tell me?" He asked.
In fact, people have been together for a long time, and they can already guess each other's intentions subconsciously, and they will deceive themselves when they are unwilling to face it.
Zhang Youtao looked into the distance, "In the past, I thought you were an arrogant and arrogant person, who would not think about others at all, and would do whatever it took to achieve the goal, but unconsciously you have changed." "315 Chinese Net
She took a deep breath and continued: "Do you regret giving up the great cause of the world for me? ”
"No regrets." He replied quickly.
"Hah!" Zhang Youtao was happy, looked at him for a long time, the bent eyes were as red as the sunset on the horizon, and a thousand words swirled in his throat, and finally converged into three words, "That's enough." ”
She got up from the ground and patted the dirt off her dress.
Jiang Yiling immediately got up, his expression gloomy, "Do you know that in my heart, even the whole world is not enough to compare with you?" Do you know that I am ready to go incognito and you will return to the mountains and forests? Did you know ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded.
Zhangjia Village is very remote, and it is difficult to see horses once in this kind of place, so the sound of horses' hooves makes them frown, they can't chase after them now, right?
After a while, a man and a horse rushed from the path, and the first thing that Zhang Youtao saw was those cool eyes, and for some reason, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated when she saw those eyes. The man in black flew down from his horse, and then the horse raised its front hooves and stopped.
Xi Liang took two steps in three steps, half-knelt on the ground, and clasped his fists with both hands, "Back to Your Highness, the border pass is urgent, the emperor has recalled Xiao Meng, and there are no pursuers behind us." ”
"How so!" Jiang Yiling's eyes were dyed with solemnity.
"According to the news heard by his subordinates, the Xiliang army has invaded and has broken through the five cities of the border pass, and now it is close to Wuyang Pass, and the emperor sent the three princes and Xiao Meng to resist the strong enemy." Xiliang reported truthfully.
Although Jiang Yiling has the idea of retreating to the mountains and forests, the shadows are still all over the world, and all kinds of news are complete, but they didn't pay attention to these because they were busy running away.
"Huh!" Jiang Yiling suddenly sneered, and the mocking words came easily, "Even if that fool goes, it's useless." ”
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Youtao could vaguely guess who the person in his mouth was. Everything that was happening now was beyond their control, and the path ahead of them faded away, and at last there was only one left.
The situation is already grim for the information that can be obtained, and it will certainly not be so easy to calm down once the war breaks out, and there is still too little news to be obtained in the isolated village.
Jiang Yiling suddenly turned around and moved his mouth towards her, struggle flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say a word.
"Go ahead!" Zhang Youtao was relieved.
Originally, it was decided at the beginning, but at this critical moment, she began to be reluctant in her heart, she was afraid that there would be no day to meet again.
Jiang Yiling turned his back to them and said in a dumb voice: "You go back first, I want to think about it." ”
Today's Jiang Yiling is no longer the high-spirited teenager he was at the beginning, with a short temper, and what has grown up these days is not only his appearance but also his mind.
Zhang Youtao knew that he should be given some time, and went back with Xiliang first, when night fell, the village was dark, and occasionally one or two could see the faint candlelight.
"Wang-"
If the cool breeze passes, the comfortable life makes people feel a little more at ease, and aside from the disturbances of the world, this moment is the most comfortable moment.
"Stop!"
With a cold drink, the two of them stood at the same time, seeing Ji Yu blocking in front of them, without waiting for them to react, Ji Yu walked directly towards Xiliang.
Zhang Youtao understood, "You talk." ”
If Jiang Yiling leaves, then Xiliang will definitely leave, and it is better to make this kind of thing clear as soon as possible, so as not to make the two of them want to stop in the future.
This night, it seemed to be a little darker than usual, and the stars in the world were not so bright.
"Ahem!" Daddy Zhang clutched his chest and coughed, moving the bench to her side, and the old god sighed, "Child, you are not too young, what do you think?" You can't help but get married! ”
If she can't marry the person she likes, Zhang Youtao really doesn't plan to marry one casually, but she doesn't dare to say this, in case Daddy Zhang is angry, it will be more troublesome.
But how could Daddy Zhang not notice her thoughts, and said seriously, "Dad has never done anything regretting in his life, are you still resentful of Dad back then?" Ahem! ”
Zhang Youtao hurriedly patted his back, and by the way, he took his pulse, "Just leave the heavy work on weekdays to your younger brothers, you have to keep your body and bones well." ”
The body is actually not serious, some are some innocuous minor illnesses and pains, but the fatal ones are all accumulated into a lot, and the accumulation of hard work becomes a disease, she may have to leave when, and when the time comes, Daddy Zhang will not be willing to take the money to see Langzhong.
Daddy Zhang waved his hand, carelessly, "I know my body, you will give my father a word today, marry or not?" ”
Zhang Youtao tilted her head to cover the loneliness on her face, countless emotions crossed the tip of her heart, she licked the corners of her mouth, "Marry." ”
Hearing this, Daddy Zhang showed a smile, and he was excited to go to the matchmaker immediately, "Dad will find the matchmaker tomorrow and choose it for you." ”
In Daddy Zhang's eyes, no matter how powerful she is, she will eventually marry someone, so it is better to marry a good person if she has the ability.
"Dad, I've already got someone to choose." Zhang Youtao stopped him.
The smile on Daddy Zhang's face dimmed, and he leaned closer and asked eagerly, "Who?" Where do you live? What's the last name and who's name? How many people are in the family? Liangtian ......"
