Chapter 258: The eldest brother is like a father
By the time Bai Qingfeng came back, Jiang Mingshu had already gone to the side hall, and there was only Lan Jing'an in the main hall. Bai Qingfeng saw that her complexion had returned to normal, and she was holding a cup and sitting in front of the window, not knowing what to think. Bai Qingfeng hesitated, not knowing what kind of identity he should face her now.
Lan Jing'an heard the movement, turned his head to show him a faint smile, and said softly: "Big brother, come and sit with me, our brother and sister haven't sat together and chatted for a long time." Bai Qingfeng's shoulders suddenly relaxed, and he didn't twist it, and sat directly on the opposite side of her case. Lan Jing'an poured him a cup of tea, and then said quietly: "I named this hall Chengjing, but it was bad. ”
Bai Qingfeng looked at her side face and felt sad in his heart. She is not as old as Hua Xin, but after all these things, especially the affairs of Yuwen Moyuan and Xie Weining, it is not her fault, but she has to bear this pain. The bitterness in her heart, she didn't understand, but she reprimanded her, which shouldn't be.
Bai Qingfeng thought about this, and there was a little pity in his words: "Third sister, there are some things that shouldn't have been said by me, the eldest brother. But since the accident in Baifu, only you and me and my second brother are left. So the eldest brother is also impulsive, relying on the identity of the eldest brother to speak unscrupulously, and his words hurt you. Big brother is not here to compensate you. ”
Lan Jing'an shook his head: "What's wrong with the eldest brother? There are not many people left in this world who are willing to talk to me in the truth. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and only the eldest brother treats me as his own sister, so he is willing to think about me and Brother Qingyun like this. ”
She squinted her eyes and looked out the window at the bright sun. Bai Qingfeng followed her gaze, only to see a few black dots in the distance on a piece of blue. Lan Jing'an sighed and said, "This clear sky, the bird is not silent to the bird, but if there are no hundred birds, how can the phoenix become a king?" ”
Bai Qingfeng knew that her affairs were tricky, but after hearing Lan Jing'an say this, he still wanted to persuade her again: "You are still young and have a long road in life, so why should you shackle yourself for your own mistakes and give up hope?" Maybe things will turn around. With the firm determination of the second brother, are you still afraid that the two of you will not have a day when Qin Se and Ming? ”
Lan Jing'an took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and said, "Although I like to drink hot tea, I can only drink it in one breath when it is cold." At that time, if the mellow aroma of this tea remains unchanged, it will be a pleasure to drink it all. If the taste has changed, it is just an extra cup. ”
Bai Qingfeng understood what she meant. But how could he see her leave Jiangling alone? Bai Qingfeng wanted to persuade her, but saw Lan Jing'an pleading with him with a lonely face: "Big brother, you just treat me as ignorant and willful, can't you indulge me again?" I will make a decision before you enter Yonghua City. Categorically will not miss his big event. ”
Bai Qingfeng wanted to say that what he was worried about now was not Xiao Qingyun, but her. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it and ruin his life's happiness. He was even more afraid that before Lan Jing'an could figure it out, Xie Weining would come over to take advantage of the loophole again. Although he didn't know what Xie Weining had said and done to her, it was obvious that there must be something that had touched her.
Bai Qingfeng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then if Xie Weining finds it, what will you do?" ”
"Nope!" Lan Jing'an's answer did not hesitate: "His threat to Brother Qingyun is nothing to me. Between me and him, I will deal with it, and you don't need to send people to the southwest. ”
Bai Qingfeng sighed, he was sandwiched between Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an, it was very difficult. From the perspective of starting for Xiao Qingyun, he naturally hoped that Lan Jing'an could return to the camp in Jizhou to assist Xiao Qingyun in quelling the war as soon as possible and taking Dayong. But he also knew that from Lan Jing'an's standpoint, her temporary retreat to Jiangling would not only prevent abnormalities in the northwest, but also make people gradually forget her old things because she avoided appearing in front of everyone.
Bai Qingfeng thought for a long time and said, "Between you and the marshal, I don't have to say or ask." But you must return to the army before we storm Yonghua City. ”
Lan Jing'an smiled at him gratefully: "Big brother, you are still soft on me." Bai Qingfeng smiled bitterly, yes, at the last moment, he still felt sorry for her.
Lan Jing'an asked him, "When are you going to leave?" Bai Qingfeng replied: "As soon as possible." Since you want to stay in Jiangling, it is estimated that Lu Min will want to entrust Jingzhou to you, what do you think? ”
Lan Jingan quickly said: "I promised Xie Weining not to touch military affairs, but I didn't say that I would not touch government affairs. But since I'm recuperating, I can't take care of things every day. Anyway, Zhang Xun is still there, with him as the main thing, if you need me, I will help him below. Bai Qingfeng nodded, and finally put a snack.
Lan Jing'an said again: "However, I can't take care of Jingzhou's military affairs." You want to persuade Lu Min to leave Yuan Zhengyan behind, he is now a partial general, and it is enough to stay here to temporarily manage military affairs on behalf of Lu Min. What's more, this is not the time when Dayong attacked Xiangyang, and there were no more extra manpower on the side of Yonghua City. Therefore, the pressure on Jingzhou's military affairs should not be too great. ”
Bai Qingfeng knew as soon as she heard that she was afraid that she had already calculated it. He told her about Xie Weining's conspiracy, although it surprised her for a while, but it did not shake her previous thoughts at all. He asked, "How are you going to let me speak to the marshal?" He cares about you so much, maybe he will throw down the whole Jizhou and come over to see you. ”
Lan Jing'an shook his head: "He won't." Now that the war has ended, Brother Qingyun no longer values me in his heart, and he will not come nonsense for me. He has his responsibilities, as a descendant of the Xiao family, he must first be responsible for the people, and then me. You just follow Aunt Jiang's words and say that I am recuperating in Jiangling. ”
Bai Qingfeng said hesitantly: "The marshal knows you better than any of us. Do you think he will believe your words? Lan Jing'an was silent, and after a long time, he said, "I don't know." But I knew that if he really cared about me and the army, he would allow me to stay in Gangneung. ”
Bai Qingfeng sighed and comforted Lan Jing'an: "There is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome, and it can always be solved." Since you stay in Gangneung, you should take a long break and do what you want to do. I still like you who were mixed with Wan Ping and wantonly publicized. ”
Lan Jing'an smiled and thanked him. Then he made one last request: "I want to ask you to help me get Li Xie to Gangneung." ”
Bai Qingfeng was not surprised at all when he heard Lan Jing'an ask Li Xie by name. He nodded: "Rong Zhi is checking on her." But nothing has been found yet. We also thought about transferring her out of Jizhou before, but we didn't know where to go. If you want her, I'll discuss with Rong Zhi to get her here. ”
Lan Jing'an looked at her cuffs, and in her left sleeve, the scar on her wrist was still there. Even though Xie Weining gave her the best scar removal cream before she left, the shallow scars on her body could retreat, and such a deep wound was afraid that it would have to be left for a lifetime. Lan Jing'an sneered: "Shen Junshi is a great talent, how can he be disturbed by such a trivial matter. It just so happens that I have nothing to do with my illness, so I always have to catch up with my sisters. ”
Bai Qingfeng had never seen her look so unpredictable, a little surprised but a little relieved. The mud bodhisattva still has three points of anger, not to mention that Li Xie really hurt Lan Jing'an this time, it would be abnormal if she didn't get angry again.
