XXXI(3)
Because of the marriage between the north and the south, it has been rumored everywhere, and the newspapers have been reporting it for several days. Originally, the south was at odds with all sides, but now with the support of the north, many warlords have signed agreements and declared a cessation of hostilities.
But the war with the Fusang Peace Army was still anxious, but fortunately, although Su Qingyang declared independence, he had been guarding the Mingyang area. And Su Ziyu also led troops to garrison the northern line. Su Huiyi has been staying in the military headquarters for the past few days, almost overwhelmed by the busyness, and he hasn't closed his eyes for two days.
Due to the tight situation of the war, Su Huiyi summoned his staff and chief of staff to a meeting early in the morning, and it was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that the results of the meeting were discussed. Originally, he was going to receive the envoy from the north in the evening, but Su Hui didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he invited his staff member Qin Tongjun to replace him.
He sat on the sofa and continued to look at the documents, several staff members saw him so desperate, and deliberately wanted to persuade him, but they also knew his thoughts, after all, now Shen Qiangrose's whereabouts are unknown, and Qi Shao wants to marry the young lady of the Gu family in the north, but no one dares to say a word at this juncture.
The staff member Qin Tongjun was originally a master who couldn't suppress things, seeing that the newspapers about marriage were now overwhelming, and there was no possibility of turning around, he had to speak hard, "Seven Shao, the wood has become a boat, and you still respond to that sentence until now, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”
Su Huiyi didn't seem to hear it, just lowered his eyes and looked at the document in his hand, outside the window was the sunset, the light had been turned on in the room, it was as bright as day, he kept staring at the words on the document, as if he was dizzying, very concentrated.
Originally, several staff members and chiefs of staff all said goodbye and left, only Qin Tongjun stayed in the office, he saw that Su Huiyi's face was like dirt, his eyes were blue, and there was a lot of indifference and alienation in his eyebrows, which was unbearable to look at.
He said that sentence that had already crossed the bottom line, but he didn't want to say it again at this time, just looked at the son of a patrol envoy, sitting there with his back straight, and felt pitiful.
He couldn't help but sigh and walked out.
The room was quiet for a moment, and the sunlight outside was no longer hot, but the afterglow was red, as if dyed with a layer of fire, and the huge reflection in front of the window was glittering with golden light.
Su Huiyi unconsciously put down the document in his hand, at this moment it seemed that he suddenly lost his strength, reached out to unbutton the neckline, and slowed down, listening to the sound of the floor clock in the corner, as if time had been stretched for a long time.
He unconsciously forgot what he should do, he remembered that when he went to the temple with Shen Qiangrose, he prayed for the safety of their mother and son, and his heart was full of sincerity, and when he saw the Buddha statue of Baoxiang*, he felt that his wish would definitely come true. But that separation, now that I think about it, it seems to have been deliberately arranged.
He lost her again!
He had always thought that he was capable of protecting her, but time and time again, he had hurt her. At that time, he was thinking that he wanted to come back to deal with his father first, and wanted to rescue Shen Zhongzhen first, and then cancel the marriage.
But one mistake is a complete loss.
And the news from Wuliu Town said that she was kidnapped by Qiao Yunhua...... He would rather be like this, at least Qiao Yunhua wouldn't hurt her. This state of mind is very complicated, on the one hand, he is worried about her safety, and on the other hand, he can't do anything, he has tried his best so many times to want a perfect ending with her, but every time he misses it.
He suddenly felt exhausted, like a deflated ball, as if the most important thing was being stripped of his body inch by inch, and his heart tightened.
wanted to get a cigarette, but in the end he hung his hand weakly, got up and pressed the electric bell, Lin Ning quickly walked in, he looked at the sunset outside the window, and his tone was light, "In my name, the whole country is electrified, and the marriage date is announced." ”
Lin Ning was stunned, but he also knew that this was a helpless move, and now Su Shengbai refused to hand over Shen Zhongzhen, just afraid that he would be in danger of his life if he delayed it for one more day, and Qi Shao was forced to do so.
He answered, and then heard Su Huiyi say again: "Prepare the car and go back to the official residence." ”
Since he went back to Jinling, but he has never gone back once, and now that he said that he wanted to go back, Lin Ning was not only a little hesitant, "Qishao, the envoy of the Northland has always wanted to see you......"
Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Su Huiyi, "What do you see me doing?" The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but sneer. But he didn't speak again, just picked up his military hat and put it on.
Seeing this, Lin Ning hurriedly went out to prepare.
At this time, the sunset had gradually sunk, and a trace of light came out of the afterglow, illuminating half of the floor-to-ceiling windows were golden, and seeing the dark clouds rushing up, the wind was blowing very strongly, as if there was a heavy rain coming.
He looked at it, then turned around and strode out, all the way was naturally surrounded by bulletproof cars, waiting at the bottom of the steps, at this time the light rain had fallen one after another, the touch was soft, like the tassel of Shen Qiang's shawl, silent, light and silky.
He would always think of her inadvertently like this, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and caught a glimpse of many foreign reporters standing outside the military headquarters, taking pictures with their cameras.
He quickly descended the stone steps and sat in the car, and at this time his mind was messy, which made him restless, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, after all, he had not rested for a long time, and soon fell asleep, and his dreams were also mixed, so that he could not sleep peacefully.
Suddenly, he fell asleep, and then he heard Lin Ning call him, opened his eyes, and saw the vermilion lacquer gate reflected in his eyes, and there were two lights hanging at the door, flickering in the rain, he silently watched the rain swaying, and suddenly felt sad.
Since the death of people in the house one after another, it is more deserted than before, he strode in, the ancient house under the rain curtain is more sad, far and near, are silent, like the lonely lamp of the ancient temple, quiet and not even a trace of popularity.
It wasn't until he walked on the bluestone slab that he saw the messenger rushing over, and he didn't stop walking, and went directly to the main house. It turned out that since Su Shengbai returned to the official residence, his life has been even more in-depth and simple. Because he has been getting older recently, his body is not as good as before, and only Han Wan'er is waiting for him on weekdays, but he is also doing his best.
He skimmed over these inconsequential things, and just walked calmly inside, and the yard was planted with camphor, rustling by the rain, and spreading the leaves all over the ground.
This time was the time to eat in the house, and I happened to hear a messenger come to pass the food, and I saw a few maids carrying food boxes in and out, and I saw him calling Qishao in a low voice. When the maid at the door saw him, she lifted the five-colored bead curtain.
When he walked in, he saw Su Shengbai and Han Wan'er eating, there were no tables and chairs in the hall, but because Su Shengbai was getting older, he was somewhat incapacitated, so he no longer went to the restaurant to eat, and only asked someone to place tables and chairs in the hall.
As soon as Han Wan'er saw him, she stood up, she used to be a little flamboyant, but now she has restrained her temperament. Seeing that Su Huiyi's face was pale, and his eyes were dark and blue, but he was very haggard, knowing that he would not come here for no reason, he nodded politely at him and walked out slowly.
Su Shengbai was indifferent as if nothing had happened, and only beckoned, "Old Seven, come over for dinner." He used to gallop on the field, and he spent very little time at home, but whenever he was at home, he always liked family reunions when he was eating, and whenever he saw him, he would wave like this and say, "Old Seven, come and eat." ”
It's just that time has changed, and now the overlapping scenes make Su Huiyi feel a lot of amazement, he walked over without saying a word, and sat opposite Su Shengbai, the maid had already brought the dishes and chopsticks, he saw a table of dishes, but he had no appetite, picked up the chopsticks, but said lightly: "Father, I have ordered someone to call the whole country, and the wedding date is set for the beginning of next month." ”
Su Shengbai raised his eyes to look at him, smiling kindly, "Old Seven, you must know that my father has done so much so so to let you keep the foundation of our Su family, even if you complain about me in your heart, when I return in a hundred years, when you reach my age, you will naturally understand my hard work." ”
Su Huiyi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Father, when did you release Shen Zhongzhen?" ”
He said it normally, but in Su Shengbai's ears, he was a little more indecisive, he sighed, and then said: "When you get married as scheduled, I will naturally let him go." ”
Su Huiyi casually took a chopstick dish, and said lightly: "Father, marrying with the north is a risky move, and it is advantageous to use their power to suspend the situation in the south at the moment, but in the long run, this result is incalculable." ”
He raised his eyes and looked at Su Shengbai as usual, and a sharp light burst out of his eyes, "These scheming fathers naturally understand, speaking of which, when I went to the north, I met this Miss Gu on the way." ”
Su Shengbai naturally understood what he meant, so he said: "The current situation in our southern land is like this, if it were me, I would also take advantage of it." ”
Su Huiyi smiled calmly, "I heard that this Miss Gu Bingxue is smart, and having her as a virtuous helper also saves me a lot of trouble, but the smarter the person, the more difficult it is to control, I think that in his day, my father and her may not get along." ”
He didn't seem to want to say anything more, but he put down his chopsticks and slowed down before continuing: "I know my father's intentions and thoughts, and now that the situation has been decided, I have nothing to say. ”
He raised his eyes and looked at Su Shengbai fixedly, "It's just that if his father finds out that you have brought disaster instead of blessing, I hope you can also turn decay into magic." ”
He stood up, turned around and walked out, but when he arrived at the door, he paused again, turned his head and looked at Su Shengbai calmly, "I forgot to tell you that I have replaced all the henchmen around you, and if you have anything in the future, you can also order them to do it." ”
He smiled and said word by word: "If I didn't see Shen Zhongzhen after I got married, if something went wrong at that time, don't blame me." ”
