Chapter 9 – The West Wind Rises Again
After about half an hour, just when Zhao Ling was full of wine and food and was about to take his wife to rest, a maid suddenly appeared at the door of the Que Tower. The maid held a letter in her hand, and watched with some disagreement as the mistress and the old man chirped about me. So, Zhao Ling, who was ruined, turned around a little annoyed and asked angrily, "What is this?"
Kong Hong was tidying up her long skirt just now, and after hearing Zhao Ling's roar, she also raised her head, but saw a word that surprised her so much that it was imprinted on the title page of this letter, with five small black characters with a slightly strong pen on it, "Sister Hong personally opened".
Kong Hong's originally shy gaze suddenly changed greatly, if it wasn't for Zhao Ling turning around, I am afraid that he would have seen some expressions and faces that were not quite right. Kong Hong's heart is like a mirror, she knows who the owner of this letter is, there is only one person in the world who calls her "Sister Kong"; that is, she met by chance and also likes to run away alone, Chen Xinyu, the Empress of Shengde, who is two years older than her, so Chen Xinyu has always called her "Sister Hong". Thinking of this, Kong Hong couldn't help but sigh secretly, Zhao Ling had not returned for a long time before, and he had lost his vigilance, and so did this dead maid, who didn't know how to be flexible at all. He did such a bold and careless thing.
However, sighing and sighing, Kong Hong hurriedly lifted his skirt and walked over, pretending to smile and said to Zhao Ling in front of him: "General, this is a letter written by an old friend of mine, I guess it should be a sister from my hometown."
Kong Hong was in a hurry, and he could only make up a name casually, anyway, their Kong family member Ding Xingwang, no matter how much Zhao Ling knew, it was impossible for Zhao Ling to fully know what family members were among them. So, Kong Hong made a temporary decision and said a name at random.
Although Zhao Ling has a little doubt in his heart, he still understands his wife, although he is young, he is quite a person who can sit still, the last time he entered the palace to see His Royal Highness King Che and the princess, other people's wives were sincerely afraid, only she was calm and quiet, and she was deeply loved by His Royal Highness King Che. It was precisely because of the relationship that Zhao Ling was able to replace Wang Ren and lead the southern army of the royal Chen family alone. According to common sense, since his wife has received a letter from home, this emotion does not need to be realized, a little scared or even weak-hearted.
However, Zhao Ling loves his little wife very much, he basically never disobeys her, and he is obedient to her, and Kong Hong's identity can also help him go further in the political arena. No matter what it is, Zhao Ling is generally obedient to Kong Hong's words, and never brushes her meaning. Now, Zhao Ling saw a slight reluctance in Kong Hong's eyes, so he slowly stood up and said with a smile: "In that case, I'll go back to the study first, if you have something to do, be busy." I'll be with you again in the evening."
Kong Hong was overjoyed in his heart, and glanced at him coquettishly, and the complexion on his eyes and face was almost the same as usual. But her heart shook as if she was beating a drum there, for fear that Zhao Ling would regret it temporarily, and she was afraid that she would suffer. She really couldn't imagine that once others knew that she and the monarch of the country had left the country, Chen Xinyu, the Empress of Shengde, would be able to accommodate her here?
In fact, from the perspective of Kong Hong's inner wishes, she actually doesn't like Zhao Ling, not because of the big age difference. It's that Kong Hong herself doesn't like such people very much, she is a more arrogant and rude person, and she actually doesn't have any feelings for Zhao Ling. Otherwise, why has she been married for nearly two years, and she has always stubbornly refused to have sex with Zhao Ling. That is, because Zhao Ling loves her, everything goes along with her, and this matter is a secret matter between the two of them, even if others have the heart, they are powerless to intervene.
Kong Hong stared at the back of Zhao Ling leaving with a complicated emotion, and then she slowly opened the letter in her hand, and the maid who delivered the message already knew that she appeared when she shouldn't have come, and she had annoyed the mistress, so she immediately retreated with interest. At this moment, Kong Hong is the only one left in this building.
She just looked at a line, and the words written on it suddenly shocked her, and Chen Xinyu's strong pen wrote very sharply: "Although the battle is over, the hatred will not disappear because of this." ”
After all, Kong Hong is also a person who has had a lot of heartfelt discussions with Chen Xinyu, and she knows why Chen Xinyu hates the imperial Chen family so much, this is because the imperial Chen family not only tried to challenge her emperor's authority, but even unscrupulously planned to poison her father, the last lord of the country. Kong Hong liked to read some books that recorded history since he was a child, and no one in a position of authority from ancient times to the present was willing to give away the power he originally held to others, even if it was his own family. But now, what the imperial Chen family is doing is obviously intended to pull Chen Xinyu down from the emperor's throne, and even wants to replace him, how can Chen Xinyu accept it?
Kong Hong read the letter, she was not surprised by the content of the letter, in the letter Chen Xinyu took the initiative to mention a part of the old emotions and about her next movements, she wanted to visit an old friend, saying that this old friend can give her a good advice. Even, Chen Xinyu wrote an invitation in the letter, hoping that she could go with her.
Kong Hong slowly withdrew the letter in his hand, re-folded it and hid it deep in his arms, originally her mood was relatively good, but after receiving this letter, it made her feel a little indescribable.
If she said that, from the bottom of her heart, she naturally hoped to accompany Chen Xinyu to visit that senior. Such an adventure is naturally much more comfortable than living in this mansion, and it will naturally be much more comfortable. Again. She also hopes to accompany Chen Xinyu and strive to enlighten her, so that she can let go of some deep hatred. Besides, she is actually a very adventurous little woman in her bones, a very simple and clear girl, and she is a more casual existence. So, in less than half an hour, she had already made up her mind.
It's just that how she wants to get out of here has also become a thing that has been bothering her, originally before, if Zhao Ling was not here, she could also leave this mansion very directly. But now that Zhao Ling is back, she can't leave or go out unscrupulously. Although Zhao Ling dotes on her very much, she will not do everything. As a result, this incident has indeed affected Kong Hong's mood now. On the road from her downstairs to Zhao Ling's study, she had been thinking about this thing that made her very entangled.
What should we do? Kong Hong fell into a very distressed thought
Yangcheng, today is still a very peaceful day, for the people in Yangcheng, the battle between the departure of the country in the north and the Chen family of the royal family has not affected their current life, and the battle between the Qi State and the feudal country in the south has not affected their normal life, so it is also a very rare opportunity to live in the cracks.
Because Yangcheng is a mountain city surrounded by it, the number of people coming and going from all over the world during the ordinary time is actually not much, and only hundreds of people come and go to enter or leave Yangcheng every morning. Most of these people are merchants who come and go from all over the world, and it is only during the Spring Festival that businessmen from all over the world return here for the annual important overseas business meeting.
Outside the door of the National Chamber of Commerce, dozens of heavily armed county officials appeared in a place that was originally empty, guarding here. This is because just three days ago, there was a thing in the Leaving the Chamber of Commerce that surprised everyone, two young people who held the white jade jade pendant of the Empress Shengde in their hands suddenly disappeared mysteriously in the tower of the Leaving Country Chamber of Commerce. In addition, along with it, there was also an ice sapphire, which was regarded as a treasure in the Chamber of Commerce. This gem is of great significance to the Leaving Country Chamber of Commerce, and Qing Lang, the head of the Leaving Country Chamber of Commerce, personally came to the door to ask for the help of Su Yao, the governor of Yangcheng. Su Yao also felt that this matter was of great significance, and he also knew that these two young people who had mysteriously disappeared were none other than the two siblings Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, who had helped him a lot last time.
Su Yao knew very well that these two brothers and sisters were two very important henchmen for Chen Xinyu, and even he couldn't afford to offend them. So, he took the official to visit the house in person, but he still couldn't understand what was going on. In desperation, he could only choose to let dozens of his servants guard here, and he could only default to this matter as someone with extraordinary skills doing this. He still has a lot of other things to do that need to be paid attention to, and the situation in front of him makes Su Yao really can't spare much energy to pay attention to this matter. However, he added another reason to fear Chen Xinyu in his heart, these two siblings were Chen Xinyu's henchmen, but they strangely disappeared in the Yang City under his control. Chen Xinyu naturally won't forgive him even more.
Thinking of this, where did Su Yao still have the energy to pay attention to these other things, after thinking about it for a long time, he finally chose to ignore this matter for the time being. This is not to say that he doesn't care about the importance of the Departure Chamber of Commerce, which is a sharp sword for Chen Xinyu, the Empress of Shengde, a sword that can weaken the power of the imperial Chen family. Once a lot of things happen in the Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that he will never have any chance to return to the military, government and military power center in his life.
At this moment, Su Yao was deeply thinking about how to solve the problem in front of him in his mansion, and at this moment, a guard walked in quickly. He bowed down and said, "General, there is an unknown woman at the door of the mansion, and she said that she wants to see the general."
