Chapter 106: The Key
It's like a cold and warm season, a gust of east wind smokes, blowing Ping Yan back from the dead.
She pricked up her ears, and all the inches outside her line of sight were on Yi Fengjun's face, as if she was stupid with joy, and seemed to be afraid that he would say something in his mouth, which would make her happy in vain.
Yi Fengjun looked back at her and repeated again: "He is still alive, he escaped by luck, and now he is fine." ”
Her tense body bent down suddenly, as if she had finally lifted the weight of a thousand pounds on her back. She hunched over, her hands on the edge of the table, her fingertips slightly white, but her whole face was red, like a tide, reflecting the shattered sunset. The tears in her eyes crashed on the shore, and her laughter as clear as a silver bell floated on the shore.
Yi Fengjun also felt happy, and his eyes gradually moistened.
Isn't loving someone to be happy with her and sad with her?
She stretched out her fingers, picked out the red thread necklace from the collar, trembled and touched the waterdrop jade pendant on the line, and was overjoyed for a moment, muttering: "I know, Shen Yujian, I finally decided to be with you, you won't leave so easily." ”
Yi Fengjun felt that her necklace was familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he had seen the same string in Shen Yuchen's neck. This is heart-to-heart. They wear the same things and perceive the same joys and sorrows.
"Where is he now? I'm going to see him! The stars shattered in her eyes, and they were so bright that he didn't dare to look at them.
"Where? You tell me. She asked again, no longer with that cold and calm look.
Yi Fengjun was distressed and helpless, and slowly shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that he is still alive." ”
Her expression suddenly became nervous, with some discerning stubbornness, "Where did you get the news?" ”
He said bitterly, "Don't ask again, okay?" I won't lie to you, can you just wait? I promise you that he will come to see you in two months at the latest. ”
After getting along for a few days, she could faintly perceive that Yi Fengjun's kung fu was excellent, far better than her, and she never saw anyone during the day, and only came back at night for dinner. According to the mouthy servants in the house, these days their lord has been home every day is a strange thing that the sun rises in the west, in their impression, Yi Fengjun is away all the year round, at least in May and June to go home to take a look, most of them have not come back for two or three years, saying that they are busy running around doing business, but the business in the house is withering year by year.
Ping Yan knew that Yi Fengjun was a multi-faceted character, and he shouldn't be easily convinced. Strange to say, she always has a long-standing sense of trust in him.
Although his words were suspicious everywhere, she just believed it. In all these years of wandering, she has seen all kinds of eyes, greedy, indifferent, hypocritical, noble...... There is also a sincere person like him, when he looks at you, his pupils are like a drop of ink that slowly penetrates and spreads, and the pure dark is partial and gathers a smooth light, which can clearly reflect your appearance.
If the bottom of his eyes were pure, you would not be distorted under his eyes.
How can people not believe each other?
If it is normal, let alone two months, even if it is a year or two, she will wait. But now the deadline she agreed with Dong Guosheng is about to arrive.
If she can't bring back the bronze box, Fu Chunju will no longer be Shen Yuchen's.
Nie Caidie had no news, she bumped into Hua Peony by chance, this is like finding a bright opening in a dark labyrinth, she really can't sit still, in order to learn the whereabouts of Shen Yuzhen this morning, she took the risk to meet Dong Guosheng.
It was reckless, but it was the only thing she could do at the time.
"I can't wait......" she smiled bitterly, a little helpless, "I have to see him as soon as possible." ”
When Yi Fengjun saw her like this, he could guess that she had indeed made some kind of deal with Dong Guosheng, and he took the opportunity to ask, "Don't you believe me?" Then I promise you, if something happens to Shen Yuchen, I will use this life to compensate. ”
"No...... It's not that I don't believe you. She was hesitant to tell him all the truth.
At this time, the butler came and knocked at the door, saying that a gentleman had come to visit. Yi Fengjun didn't want to think about it, so he said no, the old housekeeper dragged on and refused to leave, and repeated the gentleman's words: I came all the way to send a clever plan, which is enough to make everything that Master Yi wants.
Yi Fengjun frowned, looked at Ping Yan, and waved his hand, "First invite him to have tea in the main hall." ”
The housekeeper went to work. Ping Yan got up and said, "You get busy first, I'll wait for you here." ”
He nodded, "Okay." Then he summoned the servant, "Reheat the dishes on the table." "Just left.
Ping Yan felt strange, even if it was to talk about business, how could he come to visit at night, and listening to the housekeeper's tone, that gentleman seemed to be the first time to come to the door. Yi Fengjun's identity is a mystery, and she doesn't want to miss any opportunity to uncover the mystery, so she secretly follows him.
Although the Yi Mansion is large, there are few slaves, and the control is loose, and most of them have already gone to sleep. Even if she was lying in the corner of the window and eavesdropping, no one noticed.
A few polite greetings and greetings came from the room. The gentleman must have been an impatient, and went straight to the point, "I know that the bronze box is in Shen Yuchen's hands. ”
Yi Fengjun was taken aback, and the gentleman smiled lowly, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to help you." ”
"What do you mean?"
"That means I can help you open the bronze box. With military supplies, the Central China Army can purchase new weapons and send reinforcements, and maybe it will be able to turn defeat into victory. ”
"Why should I trust you?"
"You have no way out, but it is better to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor. If the army in Central China is defeated, the territory of the six provinces of Lingnan is further expanded, and most of the country is defeated by Jin Wu, then he will be a real emperor of the soil, what kind of democracy and peace will he engage in? Moreover, I don't do anything selfless, and I help you, naturally, there are conditions. ”
"On what terms?" Yi Fengjun was already skeptical.
Ping Yan was concentrating, but the housekeeper shouted behind her back, "Miss, it's so cold at night, why are you here?" ”
The conversation in the house suddenly stopped, and Ping Yan was secretly depressed, regardless of the housekeeper's inquiry, and immediately left by the path.
She waited left and right in the original house and didn't see Yi Fengjun come back, and after fidgeting for half an hour, there was a car whistle outside the yard, and Yi Fengjun went out in the car.
The housekeeper replied to Yi Fengjun's words, saying that he wanted her to go back and rest first, and if there was anything to do, he would talk about it when he came back tomorrow.
Before Ping Yan had time to ask, she heard the housekeeper sigh as if unintentionally: "Alas, I don't know what that gentleman said, the road is slippery on this snowy day, and it is not very smooth, the master has to go to find a young master surnamed Shen at night." ”
Ping Yan didn't think about it, "The young master surnamed Shen? ”
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems to be surnamed Shen." ”
She hurriedly walked out the door, calling Xiao Ma as she walked, "Is there a car or anything like that around here?" ”
Xiao Ma said: "In this poor and remote country, and in such a year, how can there be any cars?" But I did see a few horses in the backyard. ”
Ping Yan was overjoyed, ran to the stable, jumped on the horse's back, pulled the reins and clamped the horse's belly, the brown and red horse neighed high, two front hooves, and ran out a long way.
Xiao Ma shouted highly, also rode a horse, and chased after him.
The cold wind is like a cold sword, splitting the head and covering the face. Her whole body and mind fell into a kind of excitement of meeting after the catastrophe, and she didn't feel pain.
The car drove into a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, and Ping Yan followed. She tied the horse rope to the locust tree outside the door, looked at the yellow and clear halo in the courtyard room, and suddenly her eyes were wet with tears.
Until Xiao Ma caught up, wiped his sweat, and panted, "How can Miss ride so fast, I can't catch up." ”
Xiao Ma's face was covered with sweat, in fact, she was not much better. Now that she subconsciously returned, she could feel that the sweat on her body was slowly getting colder, dripping into her pores and freezing her whole body. She sneezed several times in a row, but it was warm in her internal organs.
"Am I like this, do I look good?" She pulled her hair, straightened her dress, and lifted a face as clear as white plum and snow.
"Beautiful." Xiao Ma nodded heartily and said with a sweet smile: "In the second young master's heart, Miss is a fairy in the sky, this is what he said to me personally." ”
She pressed the peach color on her cheeks with the back of her hand, and walked slowly towards the courtyard, but her lips were deeply curved that she couldn't stop.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a loud argument from the house, and it was clearly Shen Yuji's voice, "When do you want to hide it from me!" If it weren't for the little guy who came to deliver the meal today, I wouldn't have known that she almost had a miscarriage! You can't even see her for a bronze box! The Xu family has all been buried in the fire, so the person who can open that box is dead, what's the use of you holding on! ”
