Chapter 55: The One Who Rescued Is the Enemy
Fang You herself wasn't sure what to do, if Master asked her to stay by her side, then she would definitely fight side by side with Master. But Master didn't want her to get involved, so she didn't know what to do now. Suddenly, I remembered that since the master had made up his mind, why should he and his brother go to the master tomorrow to make it difficult for him to give up? Maybe it's just that she doesn't want to see anyone leave her again.
Wei Qinghuan saw that she had been thinking for a long time and was embarrassed, and knew that she had not decided on this matter yet, so he no longer continued to ask, but said, "It may not be very peaceful recently, you ...... Take care of yourself. ”
Fang You wanted to ask him why, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded, "You too." Then he hurried away, as if fleeing.
Fang You's words made Wei Qinghuan, who was originally worried, feel as warm as being held in the ice and snow. He looked at Fang You's back, smirked and didn't know what to think, and only turned around and went home for a long time.
"Brother Wei." Zi Miaotang saw Wei Qinghuan enter the house, and without waiting for the maid to change Wei Qinghuan's clothes, she started to serve first.
"Why did Madame forget to change her words again?" Ah Rong, the girl on Zi Miaotang's side, laughed and teased.
Zi Miaotang glared at her a little shyly, and then said to Wei Qinghuan, "The meal is ready, I'll ask someone to serve it." ”
Wei Qinghuan was in a good mood when he met Fang You, but when he went home and saw Zi Miaotang, his good mood dissipated by more than half. Regarding Zi Miaotang's words, he nodded as usual.
Zi Miaotang is not annoyed, because no matter what Wei Qinghuan does to her, now his wife is her, so she can bear anything, even if they have not touched her since they got married.
As soon as Wei Qinghuan went out, Ah Rong behind Zi Miaotang said in her ear, "Madam, your heart is too big......
"Didn't I indulge you too much in the past," Zi Miaotang said with some displeasure, "You dare to talk to me like this?" ”
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave just can't stand the lady's grievance." Ah Rong also said as if she was a little aggrieved.
"I'm already the second grandmother of the Wei Mansion now, what is there to be wronged?" Zi Miaotang said disdainfully.
"That's true, but Madame has to think long-term." Ah Rong saw that Zi Miaotang didn't understand the meaning of her words, so she hurriedly explained, "Not to mention that the second master has been living in the study at night these days, if this goes on like this for a long time, when will you have children, madam?" After waiting for a long time, our lord will withdraw from the court sooner or later, and the second master is in his prime, and he will definitely have something to do in the court at that time, that is, if Mrs. is not pregnant with a child...... Let me say something that should not be said, Madame's position in the palace is in danger. Besides, if the second master still thinks about that party at that time, he will welcome her into the mansion again......"
"Enough!" Zi Miaotang interrupted Ah Rong's words with a frown, frowning, and looked pensive. After a while, he opened his mouth and asked Ah Rong in a low voice, "Then what do you say I should do?" ”
Ah Rong was relieved when she heard Zi Miaotang's words, "The most important thing now is Madame, how to let the second master stay with us at night, and then that Fang You......"
Zi Miaotang listened carefully, and then nodded thoughtfully.
Fang You and Xiao Qibai set off early the next day to find Ji Xiu, and after the two asked Ji Hui about the approximate location of the mountain, they set off.
"Zhong ......" Xiao Qibai squinted his eyes and tried to make out the words on a stone tablet that had fallen to the ground, muttering in his mouth.
"What?" Fang You also leaned over to look, only to see that there were three words written on the stele, and the second word was no longer clear, "Zhong...... Mountain ......"
"Zhong What Mountain......" Xiao Qibai was still carefully identifying.
"The name of this mountain is so familiar, I seem to have heard someone say it somewhere......" Fang You said.
Xiao Qibai retracted his gaze on the stone tablet, looked at Fang You, and asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”
Fang You thought for a while, and a figure suddenly appeared in her mind, she pursed her lips and muttered, "It seems that I met on the way to Fengping County last time...... What's that person's name......" Suddenly she slapped her head, "I remember, his name is Li Tang." At that time, we had saved him, and when he said goodbye to him, he said that he was going to take refuge with the noble man who had been kind to him, and told us to go to him if we needed help at that time. ”
"And this is the place he was talking about?" Xiao Qibai asked, "If it's really here, then he should know Master." ”
"It should be here, I remember that he said it seems to be Zhong Fanshan." Fang You recalled.
Xiao Qibai's deep eyes looked at the mountain, and then nodded, "Let's go, go up the mountain." ”
The road on Zhongfan Mountain was winding and winding, and Fang You was glad that she had gone to find Xiao Qibai to come with her, otherwise if she was alone, she would have already lost her way.
They climbed for a long time, and finally saw a camp surrounded by wooden stakes in the depths of the mountain forest. There were several gatekeepers standing at the door, and behind the door was a high lookout, on which also stood guards. As soon as the two of them wanted to step forward, they saw two figures in the distance hurrying down the mountain, and the two figures sneaked down while the guards were unprepared. Fang You wanted to go over to investigate, but was stopped by Xiao Qibai, "Ah You, maybe they just went down the mountain to find out the situation, let's go to the master first." ”
Fang You watched the figures of the two people quickly disappear into the woods, and one of them seemed to be a little familiar to the world, but he didn't think much about it, and was urged by Xiao Qibai to come to the door.
As soon as the guards saw that Xiao Qibai and Fang You were people they didn't know, they hurriedly raised their guard, held the gun in their hands to their chests, and then turned their heads to signal to the people at the lookout, and asked Fang You and Xiao Qibai loudly, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
"Big brother, don't be impulsive yet. Ji Xiu is our master, and we have come to him this time. Xiao Qibai hurriedly explained to the guard.
Although the guard lowered his guard when he heard Ji Xiu's name, it was an extraordinary time, so he did not completely relax, he still raised the gun in his hand, stared at the two of them, and then asked, "What are your names?" ”
"I'm Fang You, he is Xiao Qibai, and I ask this eldest brother to pass it on to our master." Fang You said.
After the guard looked at them carefully, he explained to the people around him, "You go and pass the word to Commander Ji, I'm here to keep an eye on them." The man next to him quickly entered the camp with his gun in hand.
After a while, I saw Ji Xiu and the guard who had just gone in together to pass the word out together. Ji Xiu's steps were very fast, I don't know if it was because the people who heard that they were two apprentices who walked so fast, or because they were busy with affairs.
"Why are you here?" This was the first thing Ji Xiu said when he saw the two of them, and then he invited the two of them in and sat in the tent.
"Master......" Fang You was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ji Xiu.
"Ayu, you came with your senior brother this time, is it still to persuade me to change my mind?" Ji Xiudao.
Fang You was convinced by what he said, but he still didn't want to give up, and said, "Master, we really can't rest assured of you, and we can't bear to watch you do this......
"Master," Xiao Qibai also spoke, "Originally, when Ah Yu told me about this, I wanted to respect your decision, but thinking of our previous friendship, I can't know about this matter and still pretend to turn a blind eye......"
Ji Xiu sighed, with an expression on his face as if he couldn't do anything with two playful children, "I already told Ah Yu very clearly that day, how do you ...... Alas, you just need to know that I did this for many reasons, that I thought about it for a long time, that it was not impulsive, and that I would not regret it. ”
"But Master......" Ji Xiu's words said this, Fang You didn't know how to persuade him, but she suddenly understood that she would never be someone else, even if she stood in someone else's position, she couldn't replace other people's ideas, not to mention that she still persuaded Master with her own concerns?
"I'm just worried about Master's ......," Fang Yu whispered.
Ji Xiu nodded as if he understood their mood very well, "Maybe you won't understand me for the rest of your life, but with your heart, I am enough." After finishing speaking, Fang You said, "By the way, Ah You, I found out who killed Ah Yu's mother." ”
Fang You's heart suddenly jumped faster for some reason, "Who is it?" ”
"I don't know if you know it, that person's name is Li Tang." Ji Xiu said, "On that day, he was ordered to go and assassinate Ah Qi and Ah Qi's mother. ”
"Li Tang!" Fang You stood up from his chair with a shocked expression, and then muttered, "I didn't expect him to really come here......
"You know him?" Ji Xiu was also a little surprised.
Xiao Qibai saw that Fang You hadn't recovered from the shock, so he replied for her first, "Ah You once saved him, and he also promised Ah You to come to Zhong Fanshan to find him if she had something to help." ”
"It turned out that he killed Aunt Xue......" Fang You suddenly remembered that night, the man in black was obviously stunned when he saw her. He originally wanted to kill Ah Qi, but in the end, he gave up because he saw her, and it turned out that this person turned out to be Li Tang! Although he knew that he was just instructed to complete the task, Fang You was still very worried in his heart, after all, it was he who personally caused Aunt Xue to die.
"Master, where is Li Tang now?" Fang You asked.
"After I found out about this, I tied him up in another tent first," Ji Xiu said, "I was about to ask him more carefully, who knew that you were just here." ”
"Master, can you take me to meet him?" Fang You took a deep breath and said after coming out.
"That's what I mean, go." Ji Xiu got up as he spoke, and wanted to take the two of them to see Li Tang. Thinking in his heart that if Fang Yu didn't come, he would really be a little embarrassed, and the person who instructed Li Dan to kill his apprentice's mother was his senior brother Yu. Now that Fang You and Xiao Qibai are here, they can make this decision for him.
