Chapter 312: Relief
The land of right and wrong in the palace is too exquisite, and even crying is not a simple thing, even in such a chaotic time. Qingyu desperately covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from crying, but she was shocked by Brother Xu Ying's half-side silhouette, so she could only step forward, firmly grabbed Brother Xu Ying's shoulder, and begged in a low voice word by word: "Grandma, but I can't find it, maybe it was hidden by a well-wisher?" Maybe it will suddenly appear in front of our eyes in a few days. Wouldn't it be a joy then......
Brother Xu Ying said quietly: "Yes, kind-hearted people are everywhere. And now the situation is so chaotic that many people have found a place to hide, or have lost contact with their families. When the situation is stable, he will naturally come out. "Even if he knows that in such a chaotic night, Xu Fu will not be idle, because those people will definitely not let him be idle, even if he knows that the spring equinox has died without a body, he has encountered a very bad thing one hundred percent, but he has not left her a word, of course, he will not be found like this. So she had to believe that he was alive.
Hearing her say this, Qingyu's remaining words of comfort could no longer be spoken.
After that, Brother Xu Ying couldn't even say a word, so he could only wave his hand lightly at Qingyu, Qingyu didn't dare to persuade him, he didn't dare to leave, but he didn't dare not leave. So he walked out lightly, closed the door, and sat quietly outside waiting and listening.
Brother Xu Ying sat by the window and looked up at the sky, and his face was instantly soaked. There was a force that roared in her chest, making her want to cry out loud, but another force stopped her at the critical moment. Her tears could only flow silently. Long. She wiped away her tears fiercely. To see people in life, to see corpses in death, she always has to find a way to find the one who carried her out of the pile of dead people.
On this day, it was as hot as ever, and the sun had sunk in the west, and the fire in the distance mixed with the billowing smoke like a black dragon rose straight into the sky, making it more and more red as the fire burning clouds and blood on the horizon. The afterglow fell on the window, and Brother Xu Ying's face, which was obviously much thinner and whiter, became thinner and thinner. The iconic little fleshy chin has also lost its former softness, and all that remains is stubbornness.
Zhang Yi, who had been fighting for a day and a night, was dragging tired steps into Suiyuan, and after pushing Qingyu who tried to stop him open fiercely and then entering the door, the first thing he saw was Brother Xu Ying, who was sitting quietly by the window, and her slightly upturned face, as well as the sharp and thin chin.
Zhang Yizheng frowned and coughed vigorously.
Brother Xu Ying woke up in shock, first turned his head and looked at him stunned for a while, then stood up and ran towards him quickly, hard. Slammed into his arms and put his hands around his neck. Tears instantly wet his dirty collar, not disgusted or afraid of the coldness and blood of the armor on his body.
Zhang Yizheng stood quietly with her hands hanging for a while, and then hugged her vigorously, without persuasion or questioning, she just strode to the edge of the couch and sat down, letting Brother Xu Ying hang on him like a koala and sobbed softly.
He already knew about Xu Fu, and the person in charge of the encirclement and suppression was another soldier in King Kang's mansion, surnamed Yuan Minghei, who was King Kang's henchman, and that was what King Kang didn't let his son know, and Yuan Hei was afraid that he also knew a lot. Xu Fu, who fought to the death, made meritorious contributions, and many people saw Xu Fu die quietly under the wall, and he was still a whole corpse at that time, but when he cleaned up the battlefield, there was only an unrecognizable corpse with incomplete limbs, and even his clothes were burned clean. Some of the rebels have fled, so it can be seen as revenge, and what could be more cruel to the dead than such revenge and humiliation?
Even if everyone believed that Xu Fu would not be able to come back, and they also regarded the corpse as if he had carefully collected and prepared for burial, no Xu family member was willing to say this directly, and in front of Brother Xu Ying, he would always only think that Xu Fu was missing, and such a tragic situation would never be mentioned to her. And the things that the missing Xu Fu did, even the person who fought to the death will disappear forever like him, never appear in front of people, and even mention it can't be mentioned.
Zhang Yizheng frowned and thought, although he was carrying too much, he had a new identity and could have the opportunity to live again, as long as he convinced himself, he could live a more satisfactory life after passing the most difficult pass. But Xu Fu, or Xiao Xu, the seventh son of Xiao, will never have such a chance, even if he wants to live a relaxed life, others and the past will not give him a chance, and he can't think about it, so he can only let fate drag him into the abyss.
What is Lucky? What is misfortune? What is fate again? Fate suddenly digs a hole in front of you, you know that it is a pit, and there are countless thorns in it, but you can't avoid it, you can only jump down with your eyes open. Some people can climb out of it, some people can't. Those who crawl out are the lucky ones, and they are also the first to prepare, and those who can't climb out are tragic, but part of them is caused by themselves. The moment he learned about Xu Fu, he suddenly no longer hated or hated this man who cruelly cut his life apart. Cui Cheng, who died neatly, was luckier than Xu Fu, who has survived until now.
Zhang Yi was thinking about this, unconsciously patting Brother Xu Ying's back like a coax, the most painful thing is that she can't say the pain in her heart, and even now, Brother Xu Ying still can't say the pain in her heart, even if she is facing her husband, who is actually the person who knows all her dark past. He couldn't tell her that he knew that until that last moment, he would never remember not to touch that secret, that he would remember everything. So Zhang Yizheng hugged Brother Xu Ying tighter.
Brother Xu Ying's tears went quickly, but she didn't want to get out of Zhang Yizheng's arms, even through the cold and bloody armor, she still felt very warm, and still felt that she needed this warmth in this hot weather. She quietly knelt in Zhang Yizheng's arms, not wanting to say a word, not a single finger to move, but she still cheered up and said: "I'm very happy to see you return safely." Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Tired? Do you have time to wash and sleep? ”
Zhang Yizheng believed her words. Xu Fu's death was sad for her, but he did make her happy that he was safe. These are two completely different things, but they are all in one place, and it is difficult for her to separate them and treat them differently. So in addition to Xu Fu, she does have him in her heart. Zhang Yizheng lowered his eyes and looked at the green shadow and pointed jaw under Brother Xu Ying's eyes, his heart was softer than any time, he wanted to say two soft words to comfort her, but what he said was: "I'm very tired, but I can't sleep, I want to talk to someone." When I'm free, I'm thinking, what are you doing at home at this time? Did you miss me? How much do you want to think about it, how much do you care? ”
Brother Xu Ying was very tired and sad, so he naturally didn't want to tell him what he had done at home, but he couldn't help but say it. She couldn't come back from the fight outside because of her pain, and the man who was worried about her and comforted her felt that she had been left out, so she said softly: "I've been thinking about how to do something useful for the family." ”
Although it is not appropriate to say this at this time, although I also know that she is trying to hide and improve her mood, although I know that she actually needs to cry alone in the dark now, where no one sees and no one hears. But it's not the time, all he can give her is a moment of venting, Zhang Yizheng said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I thought you would want to slip away, after all, the opportunity is rare, you were forcibly married by me, and I always wanted to divorce in the past." ”
Brother Xu Ying's long eyelashes hung down to cover his eyes, and he whispered for a long time before he whispered, and his voice couldn't be lower: "Where can I run?" Haven't you heard about Feng Bao'er? "Even if Princess Kang didn't want to drag them to die together after the defeat, it was still an unforgivable thing to run away from the family in private, not to mention that she hadn't reached the time when she needed to run. She didn't want to miss it again until it reached the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted, but she didn't know what waves would happen in the future, Xu Fu was gone, and those people's wishful thinking was lost, unless it was all in one net, otherwise she should be retaliated against. What can she do if her identity is revealed? If you don't want to miss it, you probably have to miss it. Brother Xu Ying shrank into Zhang Yizheng's arms a little more, and tightened the arm holding him a little tighter.
"Feng Bao'er is self-inflicted, she deserves it, it's really cheap for her not to die." Zhang Yizheng pulled the broken hair in his ears for Brother Xu Ying, and said in a low voice: "Take a rest with me, we will go to the concubine together to say hello later, you have to hold on, just hold on until you come back in the evening." She can't just fall down, she is not the only one who knows that Xu Fu is gone, and there is more than one person who suspects her relationship with Xu Fu, so she has to hold on, no matter how difficult it is.
Brother Xu Ying raised his eyes to look at him, and said softly but firmly, "Okay." She already knew that he was only tolerant of her, so he pretended not to know anything, so he did a lot of things for her because of her words. That's why she won't give up on him, so she doesn't want to miss it again, so she wants to work hard and work hard, and she doesn't want to give up until the last moment.
The hot water was on the warm light, Zhang Yizheng simply scrubbed it, and was accompanied by Brother Xu Ying to lie quietly on the couch for a while, and then put on his armor again: "I can only come back for a while, there are still a lot of things outside." ”
Brother Xu Ying's heart was warm, and he buried his head in helping him clean up: "How long will it be messy?" ”
Zhang Yizheng silently calculated for a moment, and said: "King Xuan has been surrendered, King Fu has been captured, the overall situation in the capital has basically been decided, only the remnants of this chaotic party need to be cleared, and it will take three or four days of effort, and the rest is just a matter of the outside." ”
Brother Xu Ying has a number, as long as the outside is no longer as chaotic as before, she can make people look for Xu Fu. As long as she doesn't find it for a day, she can assume that he is still alive.
Zhang Yizheng inadvertently saw the tenacity hidden between her eyebrows, sighed softly, and swallowed back what she wanted to say.
