Chapter 118
At noon the next day, Douhu, who was carrying a big knife, strode down the mountain with a few of his subordinates, and it seemed that he had successfully recaptured Qingfeng Cottage. In the excitement of everyone, An Ruiqi, who looked solemn, and Shen Yidao, who looked angry, were particularly eye-catching. Douhu smiled at Shen Yidao, and then hurriedly asked An Ruiqi to enter the account for a secret talk.
After listening to An Ruiqi's plan, Douhu patted his chest and said, "General An, don't worry, I will definitely act according to the plan." ”
Seeing that Douhu was so refreshing, An Ruiqi eased down a little and showed a smile. Without further ado, An Ruiqi whispered a few words in the ear of Ning Yue, who came to see him off, and then rode away with the leader of the Shadow Guard.
"Brother Qi!" When the two of them arrived at the entrance of Qingfeng Village, Ning Feng suddenly appeared, stopped in front of them and said, "Ning will go back with you." ”
An Ruiqi reined in his horse and looked at Ning Feng with a deep gaze, noncommittal.
Ning Feng smiled back and said gently, "Brother Qi doesn't need to worry, Ning has no intention of hindering you. The stakes are very high, but Ning did not report it, and he thought that he was no different from an accomplice. Once the East Window incident happened, Ning would naturally not let Brother Qi bear the blame alone. ”
An Ruiqi suddenly understood that Ning Feng wanted to make others mistakenly think that he was also one of the masterminds of the prisoner robbery, so as to share the responsibility for himself, so he proposed to go with them, but he felt mixed feelings in his heart. He knew very well that Ning Feng had always been self-denying and dedicated, but now in order to fulfill their selfishness, he had to keep silent. He could forgive An Ruiqi and Ning Yue's recklessness, but he refused to spare himself, so he chose to bear the charge to alleviate the torment in his heart. An Ruiqi sighed, nodded gratefully to Ning Feng, and then galloped towards the capital.
After discussing with An Ruiqi, Douhu happily ran to the outside of Smiling's tent, wanting to inform her of the plan so that she could rest easy, but unexpectedly met Smiling Face with a burden on the way. After asking the reason, Douhu hurriedly said to stop him: "Xiaoyan, you better stay." General An said that as soon as Han Fei is rescued, he will fly the pigeon and inform me to answer it, and then you can go with me. Seeing that he looked at him suspiciously, Dou Hu hurriedly explained: "Han Fei is a repeat offender in the imperial court, if Marshal An knows that he has escaped, he will definitely not give up, so you should return to Yue as soon as possible, so as not to change over time." In addition to this, Douhu has other concerns. Today's war dragon is more lonely and obedient than before, and there is nowhere to vent the depression of the smile for days, Douhu is afraid that as soon as the two meet, it will stir up a thousand waves and add to each other's worries, so he took such pains to persuade her.
Ning Yue, who was following closely behind Xiaoyan, sensed Douhu's thoughts, so she also persuaded her: "What the second master said is very true, if Sister Xiaoyan accompanies me to visit the big boss, this time and again, I am afraid that I will miss a good opportunity to escape......
"In this way, there will be no day to see each other again if you say goodbye to Sister Yue'er today?" As he spoke, tears slipped from his smiling eyes. Xiaoyan never knew who her parents were, let alone where her ancestral home was, but she had lived in the Song Kingdom since she was a child, and Grandpa Yan, who raised her, was a native of the Song Kingdom, so she naturally thought that she was also a child of the Great Song Dynasty. Until a few days ago, when she learned that her brother-in-law would be from the Yue Kingdom, her heart couldn't help but ripple: maybe she and her sister were not from the Song Kingdom like Han Fei. It's just that for a long time, she has regarded Song Guo as her hometown, and her old acquaintances in her life, just like her master, Ning Yue, Ning Feng, Douhu, the villagers of Qingfeng Village, and even Zhan Long, are also in Song Kingdom, even if she is really not from Song Kingdom, but these people and things she knows well have long been rooted in her heart and cannot be parted. In fact, what is the difference between asking her to move to Yue Guo and leaving her homeland?
Seeing Xiaoyan crying very desolately, Ning Yue couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, she held Xiaoyan's hand tightly and said softly: "Sister Xiaoyan, no matter where you are, the past agreement will never be changed." ”
After hearing this, Xiaoyan's nose was sour, and she threw herself into Ning Yue's arms and cried loudly.
Douhu on the side saw the pain in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyan, if you don't want to go to Yueguo, you can continue to stay here, as long as I am here, no one can hurt you in the slightest." After waiting for a while, but without waiting for the slightest response from Xiaoyan, Douhu felt very lost, thinking that Xiaoyan must have made up his mind to walk with Ning Yue if he ignored him, so he had to return to his tent with his head down.
After fighting with the enemy for a day and a night, Douhu was hungry, but in order to rescue Han Fei as soon as possible, Douhu didn't even bother to eat, so he rushed down the mountain to discuss countermeasures with An Ruiqi. Now everything is finally ready, but the melancholy in his heart makes him lose the slightest appetite. After changing clothes, Douhu lay down on the couch in a daze, but he didn't expect that at this time, the teary-eyed smile quietly walked in with a hot meal. Douhu hurriedly got up and looked at her in surprise, not knowing how to respond.
"Douhu, I heard that you haven't eaten for a day, so I went to the kitchen and got you some food...... I don't know if you like to eat ......" Xiaoyan put the tray on the wooden table and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Douhu looked at her pitiful appearance, and felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "These are my favorite foods, you really understand me with a smile." ”
Listening to Douhu's words, Xiaoyan raised his head and said with a smile: "Really? Then you eat it while it's hot. ”
Seeing this, Douhu was overjoyed and nodded in agreement. He grabbed the dishes and chopsticks and was about to feast, but found that the smile was about to stop talking, so he asked with concern: "Xiaoyan, you came to me, is there anything else you want me to do?" ”
"You misunderstood...... I'm here to thank you...... Douhu, I am very grateful that you can save my brother-in-law regardless of your past suspicions...... After all...... He is the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, the general of the Yue Kingdom......" After speaking, he lowered his head with a smile and clutched his clothes tightly with both hands.
When Douhu heard this, he said quietly: "Smiling, you are serious, as General An said, the position of general seems to be majestic, but he is just a pawn of the emperor after all, and the matter of war has never been decided by him." Besides, I have an acquaintance with him, and he is your dearest relative, how can I see death without saving him. ”
"Fighting Tiger...... Thank you for being so nice to me all the time...... If I see you again in the next life, I will definitely make a promise to repay you in this life......" Xiaoyan secretly glanced at Douhu and said sadly.
"Why the afterlife?" Douhu blurted out his debut. As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed his gaffe, and immediately his face turned red, and he wanted to beat himself up. He wanted to tell her that all this was his willingness, and he never thought of asking her to repay him, but he didn't expect that he would reveal the only hope in his heart for many years because of a momentary trance.
"I have been living on the streets since I was a child, but thanks to my grandfather's kindness, I was able to grow up...... Who my father and mother are, don't say I can't remember, even my grandfather doesn't know, so even if I'm not from the Song Kingdom, it's not surprising...... My background...... Don't you care? After finishing speaking, his eyes moistened with grievance.
Dou Hu looked at her in shock and replied, "Why should I care about such inconsequential things? As long as you are the smiling face of Qingfeng Village, the little woman who once saved my life, with excellent medical skills but a little rude and willful, it is enough for me. ”
Xiaoyan raised his head and looked at him in disbelief, and after a long time, he said again: "It's a pity that I will leave the Song Kingdom soon...... You don't care about my background, but what can you do? ”
Douhu pondered for a moment and said firmly: "If you don't give up, I will go to Yue with you." ”
Hearing this, Xiaoyan hurriedly shook his head and said: "By all means, you are the second leader of Qingfeng Cottage, how can you ignore the cottage?" ”
"There is a war dragon, and the cottage is safe." Seeing the smile on his face, Dou Hu frowned, so he continued: "If I can take this opportunity to collect the bandits scattered all over the country one by one under the banner of Qingfeng Cottage and expand the power of the cottage, wouldn't it be a great thing?" ”
After hearing this, Xiaoyan couldn't help but smile: "This is natural, but do you really have such ability?" Seeing that Douhu glanced at her, he smiled even more happily.
As in the past, they went up the mountain to collect medicine together, even though the fog obstructed the eyes and the road ahead was boundless, but with the company of the fighting tiger, the smile could walk forward with peace of mind.
