Chapter 38: Du Yuan, Return to the City
"You just noticed something was wrong?" Li Huaijin picked up the curtain and got out of the car, raised his eyes and looked around, and his heart couldn't help but sink. "It's not far from the main city, but it's not easy to go back to the city."
Du Yuan frowned puzzled, and asked strangely: "Why is it not easy?" β
"Because someone has set up an ambush, we won't get out easily." Li Huaijin glanced at the crowded birch forest, these people had already planted a trap in order to deal with him, and finally deceived him, how could they let them escape easily?
"Someone set up an ambush? Who is it? Du Yuan's heart sank, and he looked around, and sure enough, he found that there were figures in the birch forest. Who's where?! β
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden burst of light applause from the birch forest, and then a girl in a gorgeous dress walked into the eyes of the two. "It is worthy of being the first person in the capital in the past, and such a fearless bearing is really charming."
Du Yuan frowned when he heard this, glared at the person who came with displeasure, and angrily reprimanded: "Presumptuous! Who are you, and why did you pretend to be someone from Nanyang Wangfu to design us? β
Stretching out his hand to stop Du Yuan, who wanted to rush up, Li Huaijin's eyes were slightly cold and looked at the person, and his voice was so cold that ice slag could fall out. "The county lord of Qinyang has good means, and even the heavily guarded Nanyang Royal Mansion can reach into his hand."
Qin Fengya originally planned to sell it, but she never thought that Li Huaijin would reveal her identity. Immediately, she looked down at the clothes on her body with some suspicion, she deliberately dressed up in disguise, this person has fiery eyes, and she can see at a glance that she is the lord of Qinyang?
"How do you know that I am the Lord of Qinyang?" Qin Fengya was very curious, she did not hesitate to use her father's eyeliner buried in Nanyang to buy the coachman of Nanyang Palace, and let the coachman deceive Li Huaijin to this birch forest under the banner of Nanyang Palace, how did he guess that the person who kidnapped him was not Ji Chaoge, but her?
Is it really the county lord of Qinyang? Du Yuan looked at Li Huaijin in surprise, and wanted to ask but was stopped by Li Huaijin raising his hand, so he could only stare depressedly. Just now, he thought that Ji Chaoge was going to poison them, but he never thought that it was the irrelevant Qinyang County Lord who attacked them.
Li Huaijin smiled indifferently and raised his lips mockingly, "Trouble the county lord next time before designing someone else, calculate the time first." β
"What do you mean?" Qin Fengya didn't understand, she calculated the time just right, and skillfully lured them out of the main city of Nanyang, and deceived this birch forest that had already set up a net of heaven and earth.
Her question was quickly solved by the sound of horses' hooves, and looking at Ying Qingshan, who was leading the army, Qin Fengya's face turned black into the bottom of the pot. "You've seen through this trap early on!" It's not a question, but an affirmation, Qin Fengya said through gritted teeth.
Li Huaijin didn't even give him a look, walked towards Ying Qingshan, and clenched his fists: "Captain Ying, please borrow a horse and let me go back to the city." β
"Master Li, are you alright?" Ying Qingshan drove his horse closer, and was relieved to see that he was unharmed. "Fortunately, you are safe and sound, otherwise I would not have been able to explain to the prince."
"Let Captain Ying bother." The horses have been sent to the front, Li Huaijin did not twist, and directly stepped on the footstool and turned over on the horse, the hem of the green shirt was flying, and the handsome face of the plump god was matched with the black hair that had just emerged, which was quite a kind of ascetic temptation. "Du Yuan, go back to the city."
"Oh, good." Du Yuan came back to his senses and drove his horse side by side with him, until he stepped out of everyone's sight, he couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?" Why can't I read it? β
Why did Qin Fengya design them, and why did Ying Qingshan come to save them? What the hell is going on?
Knowing that he was full of doubts, Li Huaijin explained in a low voice while driving the horse forward, "As early as when the carriage came to pick it up, I knew that this was a trap, so I simply planned it and found out who was behind it." β
Du Yuan was startled, glared and said angrily: "You still jumped into it knowing that it was a trap, if it wasn't for Ying Qingshan's timely arrival, we would have been slaughtered by others on the board!" β
"Do you think it's a coincidence that Ying Qingshan came here? Du Yuan, you are so naΓ―ve. Li Huaijin couldn't laugh or cry, this person's brain is always so simple, where have you read all these years of military books?
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Li Huaijin glanced at him amusedly, "Ying Qingshan was brought by me, since I want to plan it, how can I go unprepared." β
Du Yuan was stunned and looked at him confused, "How did you lure him here?" I've always been with you, how did I not know? β
This person is really an elm head, Li Huaijin sighed helplessly, "I did something to the post, even if the post can't be sent to the singers of the Ji Dynasty, the Nanyang Mansion will also notice that someone is unfavorable to me." And I am also a special envoy with the emperor's order, if there is any accident in Nanyang, Your Majesty will definitely hold the king of Nanyang accountable. The people of the palace are not fools, no matter whether it is true or not, they will send people to the rescue, and this duty of saving people will naturally fall on the head of the commander of the city guard, so Ying Qingshan will definitely lead the army to come. β
There are so many twists and turns? Du Yuan's mouth opened wide in surprise, and it took a while to give him a thumbs up, "Huai Jin, I really doubt how long your head is, you can think of so much in an instant, and even the back road is paved." β
As a commander, it is natural to have a sense of the overall situation, and even the smallest part of all aspects cannot be ignored, otherwise the slightest mistake will cost the lives of the three armies. The Li family has been in charge of the three armies for the royal family for generations, and Li Huaijin, as the son of the Li family, has to be valued by the emperor first, has high hopes for the three armies, and has to be cultivated by the family wholeheartedly, how can he not have a seven-trick heart?
Li Huaijin smiled lightly when he heard this: "It must be different from yours, go back to the city, you have to go to the decree." β
"Go now?" Du Yuan frowned, and said unhappily: "We almost lost our lives just now, and before we find out why the Qinyang County Lord designed us, we had better not act rashly." β
Reckless? Li Huaijin pursed his lips and smiled, a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes, "King Qinyang wants to marry Nanyang, don't you want to see Ji Chaoge's dishonest appearance?" β
Even though it is late autumn, the Fengwu Palace is still full of flowers. Zhao Xinyue lazily shook the swing, raised her eyes to look at the southward migration geese and swallowed her saliva.
"Your Highness, your eyes are too revealing, the geese will be frightened if they see them." The white cherry blossoms are funny pushing the swings, and it is very eye-catching to see the flowers blooming all over the garden during the season when the leaves are falling.
Zhao Xinyue raised her hand to cover her eyes and looked at Bai Ying from between her fingers, "In this way, it's not explicit, right?" You said that you girl, open your mouth and close your mouth openly, I wear so much and don't even show my flesh, where does it come from? β
The cool breeze wrinkled the sea of flowers in the garden, and Bai Sakura looked at His Royal Highness who was about to fly on the swing, and her heart panicked, and she reached out and grabbed her sleeve tightly.
"What? Scared me. Zhao Xinyue was startled by her arrest, but when she turned around, she saw her face full of panic, and she couldn't help but soften her heart. Don't be afraid, I won't fly away. β
Bai Sakura's face flushed, quietly let go of her hand, and whispered: "Your Highness, I heard that he handed over the greeting post again, are you still missing?" β
Is it? Zhao Xinyue raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Bai Ying seriously, "Do you think I should see it?" β
How does this make Sakura answer? In her selfish heart, Bai Ying didn't want His Highness to see Li Huaijin's negative person again, but His Highness's knot was unresolved, and this side would be seen sooner or later. Instead of waiting for His Royal Highness to come to the door, it is better to push the boat down the river in front of the prince and cut the past through the past.
"According to the foolish opinion of the slave, His Highness should see this side." Taking a deep breath, Sakura said in a calm tone as much as she could.
"You think I should see him?" Zhao Xinyue nodded on tiptoe, stopped the swaying swing, and looked back at her seriously. "Why do you think I should see him?"
What is the difference between seeing and not seeing? As early as in front of Hanshan Temple, when she couldn't force him to turn back even if she killed herself, he had nothing to do with her. Trauma can be healed, but what about heartbreaks, how to heal?
Since he was so ruthless that he gave her up, and she also gave up this relationship to marry someone else, what reason did they have to see each other again? What is the need to say goodbye? She had already said all those words to herself two years ago, and there was really no need to hear them from his mouth again.
Bai Sakura bit her lip desperately, suppressing the discomfort in her heart, "Your Highness, the slave maid thinks that you should ask him face to face, at least listen to him explain a few words in person, and untie the knot in your heart to face it calmly." β
This is so funny, Zhao Xinyue giggled, laughed and smiled but his eyes were red.
"If you ask him in person, he can explain it himself? Who do you think he Li Huaijin is?! If I ask in person, will he tell the truth? When I forced him like that, all I got was a princess casualness. I slashed myself in front of the Buddha, and all I got was a sentence that he had put it down, and the fate of the dust was gone. What else do you want me to do? I cut out a heart and held it in front of him, what is he still mine? What is it?! β
The last low roar was stained with crying, revealing three points of desolation and seven points of despair, and it fell on the ears of others like a thorn of pain.
Outside the flower wall, a white-clothed snow is shengxue, the hem is blown by the wind and hunting, and the rolling pine and cypress flying crane patterns are vivid, as if they are about to spread their wings and flee in the next second.
"Lord Wang?" Qingfeng raised his head and looked at his master worriedly.
With a slight bow, Ji Chaoge's expression remained unchanged, and a trace of distress slipped through his inky eyes.
He didn't know that she once loved Li Huaijin so much, but he knew that the more affectionate and sincere people were, the more decisive and simple they were, and they would never drag their feet.
Such a person loves as deep as the sea, and will be cut off neatly, saying that if you don't want it, you don't want it, and there is absolutely no room for maneuver.
For a while, Ji Chaoge actually felt a little lucky, only if she broke off Li Huaijin simply, she could start again with him. In the past, he didn't have time to participate, but now and in the future, she can only be him.
The cool breeze blew the petals, Ji Chaoge stepped into the garden on the fallen leaves, and without waiting for her to wipe away her tears, he reached out and hugged her into his arms. "Don't cry, crying makes me feel distressed."
Before Zhao Xinyue could see who it was, she was hugged into her arms, looking up at his handsome and extraordinary face in a daze, and her heart was warm but she burst into laughter. "When did you come and how much did you eavesdrop?"
