Chapter 22 Water Doesn't Have a Name
After separating from Yan Bai, Su Cheng sat in the carriage with a very solemn expression. There were too many people involved in the affairs of that year, and then because Jiang Wujun had no commander, the army was divided into pieces, and the emperor did not trust others, and the military power was distributed scattered, and a lot of real power was transferred to Wenchen.
It was only later that King Ning succeeded to the throne and there were constant external troubles, so there was another opportunity for a rookie from Sioux City to play. He is certainly powerful in combat, but opportunities are also very important, if it weren't for the previous decentralization, he would not have had any chance to become the first person in the Great Liang Wuchen now.
In fact, Su Cheng didn't suspect King Ning back then, that is, today's sage, and the other party looked like the final winner. But for so many years, the other party has also been under the background of Yang Shoufu, and has no real power. If it weren't for his existence to balance the other party, I'm afraid that the saint would just be a puppet. But the emperor's mind, how can he be sure that he will not become the next protector.
It's just that he is away all the year round, and he really has no time to be distracted by the affairs in the capital, and Jiang Yao's affairs have always been a thorn in his heart. Asked Xiaobei to stay here to collect some information before, but he didn't know that it attracted Ning Daoshen's attention.
Thinking of Xiaobei's fate, a trace of anger flashed in Su Cheng's eyes. When Su Bei was following Ning Daoshen, he found out that this person was actually assassinating Yao Jun, the former Jiangwu army general who had already gone into hiding.
By chance, Subei saved Yao Jun, but the other party was too seriously injured and died soon. After knowing Su Bei's identity, he gave him a secret letter, but Su Bei didn't read the contents, and directly found a nearby place to keep the secret letter.
Sure enough, he was arrested by Ning Daoshen before he entered the city, and no matter how severely tortured he was, he didn't tell anything about the secret letter. And he didn't know the content of MeSign at all.
Su Cheng found the letter according to Su Bei's inform, which was a letter written by the old protector to Jiang Yao. It turned out that the old protector had already made a high achievement, which made the first emperor jealous, and the other party was already cold to the first emperor. He wrote a letter just to ask Jiang Yao if he wanted to join the army, live a dull life, and take care of his family. This letter now looks more like a suicide note, and the death of the old prince must have been inseparable from the first emperor.
It's just that the old protector sacrificed himself to protect his family, but Jiang Yao didn't know his father's true intentions at that time, he chose to protect his father's honor, took command for his father to fight in the north, and fought many miraculous feats. His prestige is not lower than that of his father, how can this make the first emperor not afraid.
Jiang Yao is too frank and affectionate, and people who are upright and upright can't imagine the filth and meanness of those villains. Some people have already set up a situation to wait for him, and the Sacred Heart is not unpredictable, so I'm afraid that you trust him too much.
There are still some back roads left for Jiang Yao in this letter, but Jiang Yao is useless. However, from another point of view, the first emperor actually wanted to deal with the Protectorate Mansion for a long time, and rebellion was just a crime that had been planned for a long time.
Su Cheng could think that if Jiang Yao really married Princess Jinse back then, maybe everything would have a turnaround. It's just that Jiang Yao is very affectionate, and he doesn't want to exchange a woman's life for his own stability. And his feelings for Lady Frost at that time were also worried by the emperor.
But in the end, all he wants is that the emperor is old and can't accept that things are beyond his control. Jiang Yao is the same, and so is the prince.
Finding Yan Bai is just to confirm some more things, he believes what he says from his mouth, and he doesn't believe what others say.
It's just that not long after Sioux City left, a fire burned all night at the broken bridge, and the family who was originally with Hemeimei was burned overnight because of their arrival.
The next day, the people found that in the dilapidated house, there were seven charred corpses, and there was no bridge between the Yan family and the Yan family.
Su Cheng looked back at the snowy scenery in the south of the Yangtze River before setting off, and Yan Bai really knew how to choose a place. It's just that the next time I see him, I don't know when it will be or where it will be.
It's just that as soon as he left, another group of people appeared at the broken bridge, and when they saw the dilapidated scene in that place, the man kicked off the charred doorpost and gritted his teeth
"Su Cheng is also really ruthless, go!"
In the capital, since Su Man and Su Bei's chat that night, combined with the information she obtained, a conclusion can be drawn: Princess Splendid may have depression, as for whether this disease is caused by the heart or external drugs, this will be further investigated.
As for Su Man's overboard at the age of five, eighty percent of it is related to Princess Jinxiu's illness, and it may be that when the other party gets sick, he accidentally hurts the original owner, so he will be sincerely afraid later. Since then, I have been chanting the sutra in order to calm my mind and control my condition.
Letting the original owner build his own yard and not dare to approach it may also be out of love for the other party, afraid that his illness will hurt the other party again.
At this moment, Su Man seemed to begin to understand Princess Jinxiu's usual strange behavior, and many unreasonable places gradually began to become clear. He may also be afraid that his illness will affect the reputation of Sioux City and Su Man's future.
Su Man had already sent Su Da to closely monitor the situation in Yunhaiyuan in the mansion, and in order to facilitate the observation of Princess Jinxiu's illness, Su Man asked Pei Yuqing to come to the pharmacy in their mansion to prepare medicine for her to take a bath during this time. By the way, observe whether someone in their house has poisoned Princess Jinxiu.
Of course, since that day, there has been a little more tacit understanding between Su Man and Li Yuanfang than in the past. There are many things that two people can understand each other's intentions with just one look.
Su Man didn't understand the real purpose behind a little girl's "self-harm" behavior, but there was only one condition, regulate her stomach, and not overeat, and the other party also showed that this appearance was the most adequate and did not want to add more meat.
Similarly, Li Yuanfang would not interfere with the transaction between Su Man and the masked man, she seemed to be able to sense that the other party should know the true identity of the masked man, so she was so calm.
The two of them have been too tacit in the past two days, which caused Song Ci's little girl to be "jealous". These two guys were still awkward a few days ago, but these days they are so smart, it seems that she is an outsider.
"Miss Song, your mouth is on your nose, who made you angry?" Su Man drank the tea brewed by Li Yuanfang, looked at Song Ci, who was a little awkward, and asked.
"It's nothing" Song Ci couldn't admit that she was eating, but she couldn't help it, and after a while, she asked, "Are you two hiding something from me?" ”
"You finally found out about this...... Su Man pretended to be nervous and put down the teacup, poked Li Yuanfang with his elbow and said, "We said, don't you want to be angry?" ”
"Then I have to see what is going on" Song Ci looked surprised, pretending to be angry with his hands around his chest, and glaring at the two of them with a pair of eyes.
"Actually...... We have already ..... two days ago," Su Man gave Li Yuanfang a look and said, "I've gone to Tianxianglou to eat shabu-shabu."
"What !!" Song Ci almost blew up from his position.
It's just that the two people over there naturally fled to the door a long time ago, how could Song Ci persuade these two people not to accompany her to eat that day, but for the sake of harmony with a few people, she went home alone after spraining her feet alone. These two people actually carried her out to eat delicious food that day.
"You two guys don't run, stand for me"
It's just that when she said this, Su Man and they naturally wouldn't stay. It's just that these two people can't escape the monk and can't escape the temple, and they have to go back to class after all.
Later that day, in order to appease Song Ci's anger, Su Man could only form a "dry staring" bureau the next day.
After class on the second day, in the Yinji Teahouse, Su Man looked at Song Ci's eyes that had never moved at the door, and smacked his mouth a little boringly. The little girl in her crush had expectations written on her face, but Su Man began to regret it at this time, whether she had made a wrong decision, after all, Bai Qirui was not a good person at first glance, maybe she was still a ...... Cover (Longyang).
Thinking of this, Su Man's forehead jumped! What is this called?
"Xiaoci, do you know the Wangfu Stone?"
"What stone?"
"Wangfu, Jiang Youyou. Turn to stone and don't look back. The last day was full of wind and rain. The pedestrian returned to Shi Yingyu. ”
"......" Song Ci glanced at Su Man with some puzzlement.
"You look at the door and wait for someone like that....." Before Su Man finished speaking, he saw Song Ci blushing and immediately covered her mouth with his hand to prevent her from continuing to speak.
It turned out that Song Ci had already seen the handsome figure at the foot of the stairs. The grace is incomparable. At this time, Bai Qirui also saw the scene in the elegant room, and said with a smile outside
"Little cousin, Sister Song, Sister Li, you guys are really early!"
I saw him shaking his gold-silk soft fan, looking romantic, and slowly paced into the wing.
Sue: Pretentious, mother-in-law.
Song: Handsome, extraordinary.
Lee: Exaggerated
It's just that he came in with the two of them. It's none other than one of them, it is Pei Yu, the intended person of the original owner Su Man, and there is another one that is more surprising, it is Ye Xiurui, who had a holiday with Su Man before.
Hehe, demon, you're really going to embarrass me!
After Ye Xiurui returned to Beijing, because of Yang Shoufu, he was naturally knowledgeable, and after passing the assessment, he entered the Guozijian.
Subsequently, the two fan sons were naturally compared in the Guozi Prison, and they naturally paid more attention to each other. Bai Qirui, a long-sleeved and good dancer, had almost no "friends" who couldn't get it, and soon got on the line with Ye Xiurui, made friends, got to know each other, and got acquainted.
Yesterday, when he received Su Man's invitation, Bai Qirui was first unexpected, and then he "coincidentally" asked the two to come over to play board games together.
When several people met, they all politely exchanged two words, and everyone exchanged glances with each other, and the atmosphere was a little weird. Yo, that's a lot of fun.
Song Ci shyly peeked at Bai Qirui, and unconsciously stuffed sideburns that didn't exist at all behind his ears.
Su Man, observing the micro-expressions and body language of several people, it seems that the two uninvited guests on the opposite side also came here to know that they were playing with her. Bai Qirui was so idle that he gave him a post a day in advance and gave her a whole moth, this product must be deliberate.
Pei Yu, Su Man's straw bag is very good at playing, but every time he sees the eyes of this woman looking at him now, there is a trace of contempt in his indifference. It seems to be reminding himself of the absurd behavior of flattering the other party in the past in order to enter the country. What's even more ridiculous is that he is a little disappointed that the other party is not there. If it weren't for the two classmates, he really didn't want to share a table with this person.
Ye Xiurui, this Su Man actually has a very good personal relationship with Bai Qirui, which is a bit interesting. Today is the right time to test whether this person is really that interesting.
And Bai Qirui's eyes flashed a hint of watching the play, and Li Yuanfang on the side took in the appearance of everyone, and drank tea silently without squeaking.
After a few people finished greeting each other, there was silence in the private room, and Bai Qirui's eyes rolled twice
"By the way, Brother Pei and Brother Ye, my cousin Su Man is very good at board games, and all the popular things in the capital were invented by this girl. I'm the first person in the capital to play and my name has long been taken away by her."
Seeing Bai Qirui's seemingly proud introduction, Su Man felt that this girl was deliberate, and it was a matter of pride to be able to play. And it's still a famous name that can play, hehe!
Then I really heard Ye Xiurui chuckle and said, "Miss Su, the number one in the capital...... Talented girl, long admiration, long admiration"
"Hehe, it's easy to say." The greetings were endless, but Su Man didn't want to really have a grudge with Ye Fu, and he had to get by on the scene.
"I heard that Ye Gongzi also traveled everywhere in the past, as the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. I'm very envious."
Hearing this, Ye Xiurui was slightly surprised, then took a closer look at Su Man, nodded slightly
"You're welcome, you're welcome"
"Okay, okay, we don't have to be so polite, by the way, little cousin, there are so many people today, why don't you improve your game, how interesting it is to play with more people!"
Su Man glanced at the other party's expression of wanting to make trouble, the corners of her forehead couldn't stop jumping, she pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "Then QQ, how do you want to improve it?" ”
"How can you merge two games to play together, and in the end there is still the kind of reward and punishment mechanism."
"Merge the game and need a reward and punishment mechanism?" Su Man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Chery, you guy's past No. 1 gentleman in the capital is really not in vain. I couldn't think of it when I was so good at playing.
"Since you have an idea, then you can say it, ask me what to do?"
"You're the inventor of the game, so naturally I have to respect your design and ask for your opinion."
"I'm okay with that, but it's okay for you to say it"
"I think it's very interesting to combine the two games, and the combination of these two games must be a little more interesting for everyone to play. As for the specific rules, it's up to you to explain it, little cousin! ”
Hearing this, Su Man glanced at a few people on the table, Bai Qirui can, the combination of these two games, it is clear to give her the opportunity to complete the two newcomers opposite! She glanced at Li Yuanfang, and the two exchanged a look.
Su Man happily explained the rules of the game, and the cunning in his eyes couldn't be hidden. He looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you still have any questions?" ”
