Chapter 228: Home and Everything
In fact, today's Liu Hongyi only knows that he is addicted to alcohol, and he has no intention of interfering in the military affairs of Jinling City. Since Du Yurao's death, he has become a swinger as if he has changed as a person, and he doesn't care about the others, even his former baby daughter, but now he doesn't care.
"That's why love hurts people's hearts." This sentence was said by Song Haotian, "Who would have thought that the resolute city lord of Jinling City would become what he is today." β
Zhao Wuwu sat quietly in the courtyard, wrapped in a thick fox fur, and looked back at Song Haotian with a slightly indifferent expression, "Hasn't the owner of Song Zhuang found someone he likes now?" is already in charge of the entire Seven Star Villa, and it can be regarded as covering the sky with one hand in this Jinling City. Liu Hongyi doesn't ask about the military affairs in the city, doesn't he just give you a chance? β
"Lord Zhao said it lightly, you are in his position, do you think this is an opportunity?" Song Haotian asked rhetorically, "I don't know how much power there is, how heavy the responsibility is." I didn't want to take over this Seven Star Villa, but I was already in its position, so naturally I couldn't disappoint. β
He stood up slowly, "This Liu Hongyi no longer cares about the important affairs in Jinling City, and many officials are also leaderless, and they are all timid. My Seven Star Villa's property is now all over Jinling City, but I really don't have the heart to covet it. If the common people can live well, then my life is really good, otherwise once the war starts, Rao will have thousands of family fortunes, and it will inevitably be displaced. β
Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by this?" β
"Master said that he has already told you about my relationship with him, so I don't have to hide it." Song Haotian said, "I don't want to go to war, so if Lord Zhao needs anything, my Seven Star Villa will definitely go all out." β
"Aren't you afraid of offending Liu Hongyi?" Zhao Wuwu asked with a smile.
Song Haotian looked at her with a complicated expression, "What about offending?" It's better to offend a Liu Hongyi than to offend the world! β
"Is this what Lord Song Zhuang is saying from his heart?" Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly.
Song Haotian frowned, "I can't always meet the horse, saying that I am afraid of offending Lord Zhao, right?" β
Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Lord Song Zhuang is really joking, I, Zhao, am just a scholar, even if I am in the imperial court, I have nothing to do with you Jianghu people, what do you say to offend?" β
"That's it." Song Haotian sighed lightly, and his words were soft, "When will Lord Zhao leave?" β
"As long as I am sure that everything is going well in this Jinling City, I will go out of the city to the border pass and join the three armies led by Dongchang." She only felt cold, this Jinling City was really not suitable for her to stay.
Song Haotian nodded, "Master has already gone to prepare medicinal herbs, your body is ......"
"Master Song Zhuang didn't know me on the first day, so he should be used to it." Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly and smiled with a slightly pale face, "If one day, I stand in front of you with a ruddy face and good health, you should be more worried." β
"Master's medical skills are excellent, and he will definitely cure you." Song Haotian stared at her intently.
The love of the past, that part of the mind lingered somewhere, but now Zhao Wuwu appears as a prisoner, and is no longer the sick Zhao Gongzi at the beginning.
"It can be seen that you have a good relationship with Wen Shu." Zhao Wuwu talked about him left and right.
"A teacher for one day and a father for life." Song Haotian's voice was slightly deep, "Without Master, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I am grateful to him." β
"A long time of great kindness turns into an enmity, no matter what it is, it has to have a degree, and it has to be done in moderation." She thought of Mu Baili and Jian Yan. Her eyes darkened slightly, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "Thank you Song Zhuang for talking to me, and I also ask Song Zhuang Master to consider my words with Song Zhuang Master." β
Song Haotian nodded, "If one day, as Lord Zhao said, my Seven Star Villa will be defined." β
"Okay." Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly.
Su Xi hurried over with the medicine, "Childe, it's time to take the medicine." β
Zhao Wuwu nodded, reached out to take it, and drank it all. Good medicine is bitter, but after eating it for many years, I don't think it's good for disease. Zhao Wuwu frowned and glanced at Song Haotian helplessly.
"Are you alright?" Song Haotian looked at her worriedly.
Zhao Wuwu smiled, "It's okay, I'm used to it." β
"Wen said that all the medicines that should be prepared have been prepared, and the amount is enough for the time being. When the time comes, if you go to the wilderness and encounter a shortage, you can let the old housekeeper in the village buy it as appropriate, and then bring it to us. Su Xi said.
Zhao Wuwu nodded, "It's always prudent to review the past, so be it!" Tell me to go down, pack up, and leave early tomorrow morning. She rested on this day, and her body was relieved, and she could gradually adapt to the wind and sand and hardship outside the border.
Song Haotian's eyes narrowed, and the appearance of wanting to speak and stopping made people look a little sad. But there are some words that are not suitable to say after all, and even if they reach the mouth, they have to be swallowed.
"Is there anything else going on with Lord Song?" Zhao Wuwu asked.
Song Haotian shook his head and smiled gently, "I thought that I would never meet Lord Zhao again in this life, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Song is very fortunate and feels very honored, it is a blessing for Song to meet a character like Lord Zhao. β
"Lord Songzhuang is polite, fate is really unpredictable, I just hope that this fate can last." Zhao Wuwu is meaningful.
Song Haotian smiled, "That's nature." β
After saluting, Song Haotian left the courtyard.
The old butler stepped forward, "The owner? β
Song Haotian took a deep breath, "Is the person sent out credible?" β
"It's an old friend of the old patriarch, and I'm familiar with that side, so it's fine." The old butler said in a low voice.
Song Haotian nodded, "What the master tells must be done well, and there must be no mistakes." What can make Master so cautious, this matter must be extraordinary, and it must be accurate. β
The old butler bowed, "The old slave understands!" β
With a sigh, Song Haotian whispered and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I always have an ominous premonition, I always feel that something is about to happen, and I feel inexplicably uneasy in my heart." Butler, did you say there would be a war? β
The old butler sighed and smiled a little helplessly, "Owner, no matter whether there will be a war or not, as long as you have a clear conscience." When the old farmer was alive, he said the same. The people of the rivers and lakes should put love and righteousness first, and they should be worthy of admiration. β
"Yes." Song Haotian walked away.
If it really came to the day that Zhao Wuwu said, he thought that even if he fought to the death, he would have to make a plan for Zhao Wuwu.
During the day, everything that should be done has been done. After noon, Zhao Wuwu's body also improved slightly, but he still felt cold. Jinling City at night has always been lively, like a lonely lamp in the desert, although insignificant, but it is the hope of all people, to compete with the stars.
Liu Hongyi leaned on the railing drunk, hugged left and right, and the scene was so uncomfortable. Drunken life and dreams of death is a joke made by God and the world. You think this is happiness, but it's actually the source of pain.
Because when you are drunk, what you see, hear, and have is what you have that you have lost and cannot hope for. You sink day by day, just because you can't get it, and you live in pain in drunken dreams.
What I saw in my eyes and what I thought in my heart was the dead woman.
Tianlei was guarding outside the room, helpless at the same time, he also felt sad. When was the resolute man in charge of Jinling City, life and death were in his hands. And now it's like this? In the drunken gold fan, the original appearance has long been lost.
A dark shadow stood outside the window, sighing softly.
Tianlei was stunned, "What person?" β
The black shadow disappeared in a flash, and Tianlei immediately ordered someone to guard Liu Hongyi's room and chase after him.
In this dark corner, there was a person standing, who couldn't see his face clearly, only a dark back. The man stood at the corner of the alley, his back long.
Tianlei frowned, "Who are you?" β
"It's really surprising that Liu Hongyi will become like this." The man's smile was cold.
"You ......" Tianlei's heart was suffocated.
"I didn't give you a chance at the beginning, but in the end?" The man sneered, "Liu Hongyi fell short and ended up like this, who is to blame?" Children are long, heroes are short-breathed. β
Tianlei clenched the cold sword in his hand, "City Lord ......"
"Keep an eye on Liu Hongyi, beware of Zhao Wuwu's attack. You should know that if something happens to Liu Hongyi, this Jinling City will change the sky. The man was cold, "Remember, to keep Liu Hongyi, you must make him sober." Zhao Wuwu was killed in front of the door, and he only cared about the dead woman, which was really stupid. I can't keep my head, and I still think about her. β
"Yes!" Tianlei bowed his head and pursed his lips.
The man snorted, walked slowly into the darkness, and then disappeared completely.
"Zhao Wuwu?" Tianlei lowered his eyes.
He knew that Zhao Wuwu was coming, but he didn't expect that those people would also follow. With a sigh, I don't know what emotions are mixed in, I look at this noisy ten-mile long street, look at these people who are drunk and gold-obsessed, and don't know the hidden danger.
Tianlei knocked on Liu Hongyi's door, and then entered the room.
The floor was full of Luo skirts and clothes, and Liu Hongyi on the edge of the bed was wearing only a pair of middle pants, sitting half-drunk and half-awake. There are three or two beautiful women, each lying on the bed.
Seeing Tianlei come in, Liu Hongyi just raised his eyelids and didn't make a sound.
"City Lord, does Zhao Wuwu really have to worry about it?" Tianlei could only open his mouth in a different way, "City Lord, will Zhao Wuwu be unfavorable to you?" β
Liu Hongyi got up, staggered to the table, picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, "If you have the ability, let Zhao Wuwu kill me." As long as I don't die, he doesn't want to have a good life. β
The mellow spirits slipped from the corners of the lips and were all on the body.
Liu Hongyi smiled, laughing so bitterly, "The hatred and hatred in my body are worrying that there is no place to place, but he came back with a blank eye." Is this a chance given to me? Do you want me to avenge Yurao? β
Tianlei was stunned, "City Lord? Now Zhao Wuwu is the commander of the Qin's order, if the city lord makes a rash move, if he is known by the capital, he will lose his head. What's more, this time, Zhao Wuwu came to negotiate peace. As soon as the prison army dies, it is inevitable that there will be a war. β
Something happened in Jinling City, it was not a trivial matter. What's more, it's still a Beijing official like Zhao Wuwu, such a Qincha lord.
Hearing this, Liu Hongyi's body shook and sat on the stool. Because of the alcohol in the brain, the whole person looked sluggish, and his eyes were red and bloodshot, "Heh, do you think I am going to kill Zhao Wuwu?" I'm not that stupid, I would risk my life and fight Zhao Wuwu. β
"What does the lord mean?" Tianlei was puzzled.
Liu Hongyi lay on the table and burped, his eyes closed and he fell asleep.
Tianlei sighed lightly, but finally did not continue. The lord of the city, he was very drunk.
The night was peaceful, and early the next morning, Zhao Wuwu's army drove out of the city and was personally escorted to the border by Song Haotian. After all, Zhao Wuwu is not familiar with the place, and Seven Star Villa is more familiar with the neighborhood.
Along the way, Song Haotian has been riding a horse and following the carriage, separated by a car wall, and he turned his head from time to time to look at the curtains of the car. The wind passed through the curtains, and occasionally lifted the curtains, and Zhao Wuwu could be seen leaning against the wall of the car, resting with his eyes closed.
On the plain white face, there is no blood and ruddy. In the shadows, she is carved like jade, so quiet that people feel a little distressed. Leaning there, his eyes closed, silent, as thin as if the wind would blow out of the window and disappear.
"What is Lord Song Zhuang looking at?" Su Xice immediately stepped forward, blocked in front of the car window, pulled his lips and smiled coldly, "Master Song always stares at the window of our son-in-law's car, are you planning to see that our son-in-law can suddenly grow a mushroom and give food to Lord Song?" β
Song Haotian smiled a little reluctantly, his face was sneering, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Wuwu in the car is naturally not a fool, Su Xi reminded her, of course she heard it, and immediately knocked on the car wall, "Su Xi, rest for a while!" Let everyone eat something before hitting the road. β
It was already early afternoon, and people were hungry.
The team stopped, and Zhao Wuwu slowly walked out of the chariot. The bumps along the way made her extremely uncomfortable, the whole person was weak and weak, and she was panting when she walked.
Zhao Wuwu leaned against the foot of the tree, looking at this excellent sky, he could no longer see the location of Jinling City.
Taking a deep breath, Wen handed over dry food and water, and looked at her with a little worry, "Can you still hold on?" If we can't stand it, we can rest on the spot, anyway, we are already on the way, and we are not afraid of delaying this day or two. If you are tired, it is not worth it. β
Sighing and shaking his head, Zhao Wuwu took a bite of dry food, and looked at the road ahead with slightly gloomy eyes, "I'm fine, it seems that after leaving Jinling City, this body has slowly improved." She hesitated to look at the past, "You say, does Murong have some scruples about Jinling City?" So the closer it got to Jinling City, the more inaction this butterfly Gu became? β
Wen thought for a while, "It's hard to say, after all, no one knew what happened at that time." He got up and said meaningfully, "I'll take a look around, and you can rest." β
Zhao Wuwu bowed his head, carefully sailed the 10,000-year-old boat, and let Wen Gu and Suxi go around to see if there was any extra tail, which was also good.
Song Haotian stepped forward, "Are you okay?" β
"It's fine!" Zhao Wuwu smiled, but as soon as he turned his head, Jian Yan also leaned over.
This atmosphere has become a little awkward. Although Jian Yan didn't speak, as soon as she saw him, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she always felt that there was a stone resting on her heart, which made people breathless.
That's why after eating a few mouthfuls of dry food and drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Zhao Wuwu hurried on the road.
Jian Yan looked at the back of Zhao Wuwu getting into the car, and smiled bitterly with a slightly dull expression.
On the side, Song Haotian glanced at Jian Yan thoughtfully, his eyes slightly gloomy.
Riding a horse, Su Xi and Wen followed the carriage left and right, which means that Song Haotian was squeezed out. His own master was in the way, of course he couldn't go up to grab the position, so he had to look back from time to time in front. This gaze, occasionally falling on Jian Yan, is always meaningful.
"No suspicious ones have been found for the time being." Su Xi approached the window to report.
Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "That's the best." β
"It's just that Liu Hongyi didn't do anything at all, can the son rest assured?" Su Xi glanced back in the direction of Jinling City.
"There is not only one Liu Hongyi in Jinling City, but also Seven Star Villa." Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows, "Our shadow guards also have some left in to deal with, as long as we keep an eye on Liu Hongyi, there won't be much of a problem." β
Su Xi nodded, "I understand, but I should be careful." β
Of course, Zhao Wuwu knew that he had to be careful, otherwise once Jinling City was in turmoil, they would become lonely and become a barren man outside Jinling City. The situation of isolation and helplessness is a taboo in the war situation.
The convoy continued on until it had crossed the hill and the carriage stopped.
In the distance, there was dust and smoke, as if there were traces of an army's march. I don't know who it is, is it the army of the wilderness, or my own people? This is the border between the two countries, and the war between Huanglan and Daye is imminent, and anything can happen.
"All on guard." Su Xi shouted, and immediately clenched the cold sword in his hand.
If it is a barren army, then when it is absolutely necessary, it can only fight. It is impossible to let Childe fall into the hands of the wilderness, otherwise Childe's life will be in danger.
Wen Gu held his breath and breathed a sigh of true air, if he really wanted to make a move, he thought that he would have to take Zhao Wuwu to escape for his life as soon as possible. After all, this kind of thing will inevitably be damaged. But in terms of foot and leg kung fu, no matter who it is, it is estimated that he will not be able to catch him.
Everyone's mental state was highly tense, until Su Xi exclaimed, "Look, Childe, it's Daye's banner." β
Zhao Wuwu was silent, if it was Daye's army, then it must be Mu Baili. There are no emotional fluctuations on his face, but his heart is surging, is it him? knew that it was impossible for him to come to pick him up in person in order to avoid suspicion, but he still only thought of him in his mind.
It was Lu Guoan who came, leading a group of sergeants to greet Zhao Wuwu, the imperial supervisor.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Guoan stepped forward to salute Zhao Wuwu, "See Lord Zhao for your humble position." On the order of Lord Chitose, Lu Guoan, who was in a humble position, came to welcome Lord Zhao back to the camp. β
Zhao Wufu didn't smile, and glanced at Lu Guoan coldly, "Your thousand-year-old master is really thoughtful, let a thousand households come to greet me, the imperial prison army, I really look up to me!" β
The meaning of these words is naturally ridiculous.
However, in the eyes of everyone, such an atmosphere is normal, after all, the Zhao family and Dongchang are used to being incompatible, and if they are too friendly, it is not suitable. It is Zhao Wuwu's deliberate embarrassment and ridicule that is human nature.
Lu Guoan smiled, "Lord Zhao is forgiving, two days ago, the Chitose Lord had already presented the document to the Huanglan Imperial Court, so he received the news of the Huanglan Imperial Court early this morning, and invited the Chitose Lord and the delegation to enter the Huanglan Imperial Court." β
Zhao Wuwu was stunned, "You mean, Mu Baili went to the wilderness?" β
"Yes." Lu Guoan saluted, "That's why I can't personally greet the emperor's order to supervise the army, and I hope Lord Zhao will bear with me." β
Zhao Wuwu was silent, thinking in his heart, will this Mu Baili enter the Wasteland Court this time, will he do it? After thinking about it, there was no preparation for this, how could a person with Mu Baili be so cautious and rashly act.
Knowing that she is coming, doing it now will inevitably put her in danger.
Relieved, Zhao Wuwu sneered twice, "Since this is the case, it is important to hurry back to the camp." I want to see what tricks your Chitose master can play. β
Of course, Lu Guoan knew what Zhao Wuwu meant, and he smiled vigorously. Zhao Wuwu can act, but while he is acting, he has to laugh, otherwise he will have to suffer if he comes to Chitose Ye.
Song Haotian glanced at the person from the East Factory, and his heart was naturally unhappy. Who doesn't know that these Dongchang things are used to being uneasy and kind, and they are not good people, who knows if they will attack Zhao Wuwu and others halfway.
Therefore, Song Haotian did not dare to turn back rashly, and insisted on sending Zhao Wuwu to the camp to rest assured.
Wen Gu and Su Xi knew that Zhao Wuwu was acting, but in front of everyone's eyes, they had to maintain their opposition to Dongchang. Song Haotian's insistence is not unreasonable, so Wen and Su Xi don't dare to make it too obvious, Song Haotian will follow if he wants to!
Jian Yan's attitude towards Dongchang was also extremely cold, although he didn't speak, but this cold and cold gaze was always unfriendly. silently followed Zhao Wuwu, and no one opened his mouth along the way.
When we arrived at the camp, it was already nightfall.
It was pitch black, and when Zhao Wuwu led people in, he didn't see Mu Baili. Su Xi and Wen asked the soldiers to set up camp, and Zhao Wuwu followed Lu Guoan towards Mu Baili's camp.
Jian Yan followed behind, as if he was not at ease.
Lu Guoan stopped Jian Yan, "What do you want to do?" Chitose Lord ordered that no idlers should be allowed to approach his tent, and those who violated the order would be immediately beheaded. β
"I am now the governor of the army, so naturally I have to follow the overseer." Jian Yan's eyes were slightly cold.
Lu Guoan smiled coldly, "This is the camp of the Chitose Lord, and the governor is afraid that it will be inconvenient for him to enter." With a wave of his hand, the brocade clothes of the East Factory immediately stepped forward, and Jian Yan was naturally not allowed to approach this battle.
Across the human wall, Zhao Wuwu's face was warm, "Jian Yan, you go back first!" I'm already in the camp, could it be that Mu Baili can still eat me? The emperor's order is in his body, even if he dares to touch me, will he dare to touch the emperor's holy decree? β
Jian Yan took a deep breath and looked at her fixedly.
What Zhao Wuwu decided would not change in the past, so he could only give up! Glancing at everyone around, even if he wanted to follow at this moment, there was nothing he could do, so he could only watch Zhao Wuwu walk into Mu Baili's camp.
There were no lights in the tent, so no one could see the movement inside, and Mu Baili refused to leave even half a candlelight shadow behind anyone.
"This black light is blinding, Chitose Lord is really good!" Zhao Wuwu snorted coldly, "Knowing that I came here on the orders of the emperor, and I dare to be so lazy, aren't you afraid that I will listen to the heavens in the coming day, and cure the Chitose Lord for a big crime of disrespect?" β
There was no echo in the tent, and it was eerily quiet.
Since Lu Guoan said that Mu Baili was here, he probably wouldn't lie to her. But why didn't anyone answer? In this silent and dark tent, where is Mu Baili? Isn't this guy here?
Could it be that Lu Guoan tricked her?
Just thinking about it, suddenly her waist tightened, and before she could make a sound, her lips were gagged.
Panting and groaning, she was already on someone's lap, sitting on someone's waist. This crossed posture seems to be a little unsightly, and a heart is pounding.
In my ears, it was someone's slightly magnetic voice, "What, as soon as Lord Zhao arrived, he wanted to cure the sin of this seat?" Don't you hear that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, this will be like controlling the overall situation, and you are not afraid of suffering from it? β
The sound fell, it was someone's brazen five-clawed golden dragon, wantonly - swimming - walking.
was so shocked that Zhao Wuwu immediately pressed his hand and scolded in a low voice, "You are crazy, Jian Yan is outside the tent, if you teach people to hear or notice, you and I will be in great trouble." β
In the dark, a certain wife and slave could be heard sneering, "What trouble? The emperor was shocked to find that his slave fell in love with a foreign minister? Or is it that this foreign minister is willingly degraded and entangled with this eunuch party. Darkness Chen Cang, or one day, a cold bead tire dark knot? β
"Phew!" She spat him, "It's not a proper shape, it's serious with you!" β
He smiled, "When am I going to lie to you?" Isn't that serious? β
The way of heaven is vast, and chaos gives birth to yin and yang, which should complement each other and be endless.
This guy is used to being extremely picky, and this skillful demeanor is almost effortless. If the snowflakes fall on the lips, they are indifferent and elegant. Sniffing the faint fragrance of pear blossoms on her body is indeed the most beautiful thing in the world.
Lips-teeth-phases-wet, each panicked.
The sudden squeeze in made her heart suffocate, and she immediately hugged his neck, "You ...... person"
"I'm worried all the way, but I'm here anyway." He was relieved and relieved. But this effort did not stop for a moment.
"You, you went, went to the wilderness?" Her breath was slight.
He replied in a low voice, "What do you want to say?" β
"Youβ" She couldn't speak, and the bumps made her seem like riding a white horse, and she really couldn't take the slightest strength to speak, "the matter of discussion, peace ......"
"Isn't that a peace negotiation?" He laughed-charmed-bewitched, and buried his head in front of him.
Zhao Wuwu's fingertips pinched his shoulder blades vigorously, and he could only endure it as hard as he could, "You, you stop, I, I have something to say." Mu, Mu Baili, in the end, how did you talk about peace? Can you find out where the snow fox and the snow fox are? β
He pinched her slender waist, "I don't have the final say on the matter of peace, many conditions have to be negotiated with the army, and now that you are here, I naturally have to teach you to look at it." But there's more to it now! β
"Whatβthe thing?" She couldn't breathe.
"Settle accounts after the fall!" He drank low.
Her body stiffened in shock, and she suddenly remembered the family of three with Jian Yan that day in the mist array...... I was suffocated, but it was too late. A certain wife and slave escorted each other along the way, but they didn't dare to show up, so they had to endure it as much as possible.
And now, how can this little daughter-in-law who was sent to the door easily let go.
As the saying goes, husband and wife are in harmony and everything is prosperous!
Sure enough, it's the truth!
