Chapter 158: Moonlight

The second more

Xu Heng smiled, feeling that Zhang Yizheng was faintly different in some places, he patted Zhang Yizheng's shoulder affectionately, and said in a low voice: "Please tell the prince for me, I have spent more than ten years for this day." I'm afraid I won't be able to help him much in the future. "More than ten years of hard work, more than ten years of operation, today all the last trust and forgiveness of the king have been exchanged. No matter how glamorous or sufficient the reason is, he has always shown his strength and been suspicious.

Through the light, Zhang Yizheng saw Xu Heng's old and tired face clearly, his heart suddenly boiled with blood, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Why are you doing this?" ”

He asked very vaguely, but Xu Heng understood what he meant, why do you spend such a big price to help King Kang's Mansion, or help those who are involved in the whirlpool? You must know that all politics is like gambling, there are wins and losses, and when betting, you should think that you will lose all your money and your family will be ruined. King Kang's Mansion asked Xu Heng for help, although Xu Heng had a reason to make a move, but to what extent he had to do it was up to him, and no one could help it. Xu Heng was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Although I have to do it, I always think that no matter when I am a man, I should not destroy human nature, there is kindness in my heart, and my descendants will be happy." ”

So after designing the Cui family, still leave a glimmer of life for the women and children of the Cui family? This sentence hit Zhang Yizheng's mouth back and forth a few times, but he didn't say it after all. Zhang Yizheng whispered in a hoarse voice: "Then how do you say that killing stops killing?" ”

Xu Heng stroked his beard, glanced at him deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Killing to stop killing is a big weapon, and you can't use it as a last resort." Has Your Highness decided to accept the order? ”

Zhang Yizheng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "The imperial grandmother is seriously ill and has just woken up, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to kill too many people at this time." ”

Xu Heng was noncommittal. No one could stop the emperor's desire, but he was afraid that if these words reached the emperor's ears, he would only get the emperor's very merciless ridicule and contempt. What the emperor has said the most over the years is that he has killed many people, why don't you see unjust souls asking for their lives? King Kang has also been in the bloody storm all these years, although the name of benevolence, righteousness and generosity is famous all over the world, but how can there be less human life in his hands? It's just a gesture, if nothing else. King Kang would have a night of repentance, and then a wonderful slaughter at dawn for those who opposed him to see clearly.

In the distance, the night was blank, except for a few lamps and two carriages waiting alone by the roadside. Xu Zhi saw Xu Heng's figure, and walked forward excitedly: "Father! When he saw Zhang Yizheng standing on the side, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then he was relieved, and said affectionately with a smile: "Brother-in-law." ”

This is the first time Xu Zhi has used such a tone and title for him, Zhang Yizheng smiled and handed Xu Heng over to the Xu family. He looked deeply at Xu Zhi and the others. Xu Heng lifted his feet by the armrests of his sons, sat comfortably in the carriage, closed his eyes slightly and said, "Go back, the situation will be stable in a few days, you and Brother Ying will come back for dinner." ”

Zhang Yizheng respectfully lowered his hand in response, and looked at Xu Fu standing aside from the corner of his eye. Xu Fu is a very special existence, he appeared with the children of the Xu family, but he did not rush to help Xu Heng first. Instead, he held on to the horses in silence, as if trying to make the carriage more stable. And no one in the Xu family expressed any doubts about his appearance and practices, and everyone did what they had to do. Get along with each other like flowing water, close to nature.

The carriage was moving, Xu Fu got on the horse, and looked at Zhang Yizheng lightly, but in an instant, Zhang Yizheng saw a pair of eyes very similar to Brother Xu Ying, but Brother Xu Ying's eyes were more charming, but these eyes were gloomy and cold. Zhang Yizheng squinted, smiled and raised his hand to wave at Xu Fu.

Xu Fu turned his head suddenly, knocked the horse's belly, and followed Xu Heng and the others without looking back. It is a deep disgust and defensiveness. Zhang Yizheng confirmed that he was not mistaken, and the strong emotions in Xu Fu's eyes were revealed for a moment. Presumably, Xu Fu used to look at him with such eyes when he didn't pay attention, but he was young and ignorant and couldn't understand it, even if he saw it, he would only think it was an illusion and would not delve into it. Now it's good, I know how to read people's eyes, Zhang Yizheng smiled self-deprecatingly. Turn away.

"Help the poor, I have something to tell you when you come." After the carriage turned into the dark and deep streets of Shangjing, Xu Heng ordered the carriage to stop and gently waved to Xu Fu on the side.

Xu Fu didn't hesitate at all, quickly turned over and got out of the car, saluted Xu Heng respectfully, sat in front of Xu Heng and said softly: "I don't know what my uncle commands?" ”

Xu Heng looked at him with a smile and said softly, "Still hating him?" ”

Xu Fu was silent, only half-lowered his eyes.

This stubborn child usually looks good at doing things, but he is very stubborn when he encounters the Zhang family and his former enemies. Xu Heng sighed: "What's the use of hating him? The raw rice has been cooked, and I see that this time he is much better than the last time. It would be nice if he could go on like this. You hate someone, no matter how well you hide it, it will always be revealed unintentionally, and others will hate you when they feel it. You are nothing more than feeling sorry for Brother Sakura, why not take the opportunity of him to get closer to you if he wants to be good with you, and it is not necessary to communicate often, but at least it is not so difficult when you want to meet each other. ”

Xu Fu was silent for a long time and said, "My nephew remembers." "I wanted to tell Xu Heng the news that Zhao Huang was still alive, but I felt that things were crowded together at this time, and it was useless to say more, so I might as well wait until he figured out Zhao Huang's whereabouts and purpose before telling Xu Heng again.

Xu Heng didn't know what he was thinking, so he only continued: "You don't have to go back with us, Brother Ying came back yesterday and said that the palace intends to summon craftsmen from all major gold and silver shops in the capital to enter the palace to make phoenix crown jewelry for the queen's mother, and he wants to come to Hehelou is also among them." At this time, the palace still can't take care of the outside, you can think about how to deal with it yourself. ”

Xu Fu stayed for a moment, bowed again, said goodbye, and arrived in the Hehe Building, the night was already dark, everyone had already turned off the lights and rested, only the lights in the workshop behind were still on. Xu Fu pushed the door in, and Chi Bo, an old craftsman who was squinting in front of the lamp and carefully inlaying filigree on a pair of silver bottles, raised his head when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "The owner is here?" Still resting so late? ”

Xu Fu sat down in front of him, silently watching Chi Bo's seemingly clumsy, old bark-like hands deftly coil and inlay the gold and silver wires into various patterns, knowing in his heart that once he lost this old craftsman, he would never find such an excellent craftsman in the future and the familiarity and comfort of getting along with this kind of friend and family.

Chi Bo glanced at him and said with a smile: "Does the owner have something to say?" ”

Xu Fu hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I heard that the palace is going to summon a group of craftsmen into the palace to make phoenix crown jewelry for the queen's mother, and Hehelou has probably also entered the eyes of nobles, I don't know if your body can hold it?" ”

The implication of this sentence was very strong, but Chi Bo laughed as if he didn't understand: "That's good! When I was a child, I thought I could wear my own jewelry on the head of the queen mother. ”

Such a cheerful look and reply! Xu Fu was unexpected, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This time I entered, I probably couldn't get out at the end." ”

"You have to die to come out, right?" Chi Bo smiled: "You probably don't know, I am a monk halfway, and my master is an old craftsman who has been exiled in the palace, and he always regrets me."

Chi Bo said a lot, but Xu Fu didn't listen to a word, those who want to leave always have to leave, he stood up a little lonely, and said with a reluctant smile: "That is the case, I will take care of your good life, I dare not say that you will get what you want, but at least it can make you comfortable enough in the palace, and I am not afraid of being old in the future, I have always been there." I'll go back first, you can rest early, you don't have to do what you can't finish. ”

Chi Bo looked at Xu Fu's back and left in a hurry and sighed softly, staring at the flickering candle flame for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his cloudy eyes. He put his hand on the slender filigree, whispered a few words in an inaudible voice, and then continued to squint and continue to work earnestly.

The night is as cool as water, the moonlight is like practice, the calm Kangwang Mansion is immersed in the moonlight and the faint fragrance of sandalwood, the sound of the wooden fish and the chanting are no longer audible, the lanterns everywhere under the corridor have also been extinguished for most of the time, the people who have been frightened for two days and one night have basically fallen asleep, only the incense candles in front of the Buddha shrine are still burning endlessly.

The door rang softly, and Brother Xu Ying, who was sleeping in a daze, woke up immediately when he heard the sound, closed his eyes and stayed on the bed for a moment before sitting up and opening the tent to look out, only to see a wisp of moonlight entering the room through the window screen, Zhang Yi was sitting alone in front of the window with her back to her and motionless.

"After a hard day, why don't you sleep?" Brother Xu Ying reached out and touched a plain robe on the pillow, got out of bed, walked behind Zhang Yizheng and gently wrapped his shoulder, leaned his head on his shoulder and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Yizheng put her hand over her hand and whispered, "Thank you?" ”

Brother Xu Ying smiled and said: "I received the letter you sent back, I know that everything is fine with my father, and I see that my father and mother have returned home, so I can sleep peacefully." Speaking of this, he added a sentence flatteringly: "Of course, I couldn't sleep soundly, I have you in my heart, where did you go?" How did you come back? Tell me to wait. ”

Zhang Yizheng didn't speak, only hugged her into his arms with his backhand, lowered his head and kissed her.

Brother Xu Ying's heart jumped quickly, she closed her eyes, grabbed Zhang Yizheng's front tightly with her hand, and responded to him jerkyly. After a long time, Zhang Yizheng let go of Brother Xu Ying, lowered his eyes and looked at her carefully, it was his familiar eyebrows, and it was the eyebrows and eyes that he had described many times in his dreams, he sighed softly, and traced his hand along Brother Xu Ying's white and delicate face like magnolia petals.

Brother Xu Ying didn't move or speak, only looked at Zhang Yizheng quietly, she felt that the moonlight in this night was very beautiful, and Zhang Yizheng tonight was very gentle and very good.

Zhang Yizheng put his hand over her eyes, picked her up, and entered the account.
