Chapter 73: Coming Home
Jin You sat in the carriage, looking at Jinzhou through the window, the blue bricks and green tiles, the city wall more than ten meters high, became smaller and smaller, until it disappeared from the bottom of his eyes. But she still went in that direction and refused to turn her head.
She sat on a very soft couch, the head of the couch carved with delicate peonies, and a small wooden table in front of her, the car walked very steadily, the fruit on the square table did not shake a little, and the person next to her stretched out his slender fingers to peel the apples in his hand for her.
The apple peeler sighed softly, put the same carved fruit knife on the table, took a bite of the apple, the apple was juicy, splashed on her face, she felt cold, the person smashed it again: "Ah Jin, don't be sad, Wei Bian can still eat a loss?" Then he held the apple he had eaten in front of him and shook it.
When he received the secret letter from Jinzhou, he saw that Jin You alone did not know what was going on, fainted alone at the old woman's house, fell asleep for a few days, and when he woke up, he became wooden and did not say what had happened. And when Wei Bian got married, he was almost impulsive, and he learned that she went out to see Wei Bian that day. She knew everything about Wei Bian.
After seeing Jin You, seeing her soulless appearance, Qi Ziluo said a lot of comforting words, and kept teasing Jin You, and finally there was no way to do it, I was deflated, but the first thing I heard from her was, take me home.
Hearing Qi Ziluo's words, Jin You slowly turned his head and tossed his dark blue silk sleeves aside.
Qi Ziluo saw that Jin You still ignored him, he continued to nibble on the apple in his hand specially picked from Fengming Mountain, looked around the space, and patted the wooden board carved with rare beasts on the roof of the car.
"Bang, bang, bang"
"Ah, do you hear me, this is my heartbeat now, and I'm very nervous." The tone was soft and brisk, and he lay down in front of Jin You again.
Jin You raised his eyelids, and the person in front of him was directly on his lap, still the same uninhibited appearance, and his slender eyes looked at Jin You expectantly. Jin You opened his mouth and said:
"Is there a problem with the salt in Jinzhou?"
Qi Ziluo didn't expect her to say such a thing, the smile on his face gradually faded, pulled a corner of the table, supported himself with strength, and put the remaining half of the apple on the table in a proper manner, Jin You looked at him for a long time before he nodded.
"Is Qi Guo's tax payment a ghost caused by my brother?" Her voice was clear and slow, but I couldn't hear the slightest tone, I don't know if she was angry or what she looked like.
Qi Ziluo paused for a moment and nodded again.
"Hmmm......"
Jin You didn't look at him, his eyes were closed, as if he was thinking for a while, and then he raised his head again, and his eyes gradually faded some of his essence.
"If we meet in the future, will you kill me?" Because of the people, because of the country, because of my relatives, will you kill me? Jin You asked, staring at the embroidered dark red curtain floating in front of him due to the slight bumps of the car.
Qi Ziluo was stunned for a moment, his hand clenched the money bag, his fingers gently rubbed the words on it, listening to her tone without any emotion, Qi Ziluo's heart seemed to fall to the edge of the cliff.
"Never." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words. He suddenly heard the person next to him laugh softly, laughing so desolate and helpless. He turned his head to look at her who was still cold, and saw her slowly open her mouth:
"You see that curtain, on this car, it can still have a function, but if you just throw it aside, it's just a rag. Qi Ziluo, we are the same, if we are not in the current position, we may be worried about whether there is enough food to eat, whether there are enough clothes to wear, and when we will be able to earn enough money to support ourselves. Maybe we don't have that many responsibilities and not so many worries. But now, the two of us really don't have the slightest reason to be together. ”
Qi Ziluo took a deep breath and sat side by side with her, staring ahead together.
"Are you going to kill me, then?"
"If there really is such a day, I will do my best to protect you."
Qi Ziluo didn't really hear it, and he always felt a roar in his head. Those days back to Yecheng, one is because of the divorce, but Qi Yuan and Emperor Qi pressed this marriage to the death, no matter how to deal with it, they are not willing to withdraw from the marriage, but if you can't retreat here, then start with Emperor Wei, Qi Ziluo gave Wei Bian a condition, if the marriage can be withdrawn, the antidote to the soul will be completely sent to Jinzhou.
The second is because of the tax problem in Yecheng, because of the strong drought last year, and because of the oppression of heavy snow, so that the crops are almost not harvested, in this meager tax, he learned that some of them took money into their own hands. Who exactly it is has nothing to do with redundancy.
Yecheng was almost in a famine, Qi Ziluo told Qi Yuan, let him propose to Emperor Qi that some of the money in the treasury be used as a subsidy to appease the people, and in the renovation of the waters, from Chengxing County in the Bitan River basin outside the city, to build a reservoir as a diversion to Yecheng to solve the water problem.
He had just stopped a little, and when he heard that something was wrong with Jinyou, he immediately found her, and found that she was fine, so he took her home, but now she said this to herself.
"Ah Jin, do you know that I am going to marry Wei Wanyan?" Qi Ziluo asked eagerly, putting away his squirrel. Seeing that Jin You ignored him for a long time, and didn't cry or make trouble, then Bacheng knew.
"I'm out of the house."
After Jin You heard it, she frowned, remembering the words that Wei Bian said to her, and asked without being salty: "Salt is Qi Yuan's poison, do you think Wei Bian will let Qi Guo go?" "The person next to Gongsun Jiwen, since it is Qi Yuan, the salt merchant is transported from the north, how can it be so coincidental that everyone has fallen into that forgetful soul, and it has nothing to do with him?
The assassination of Jin You by all means was also because he was afraid of exposing his whereabouts, and he was afraid that Qi Ziluo would not be under his control because of Jin You.
It turned out that Jin You knew everything, Qi Ziluo sat down again, he protected her so well before, he just didn't want her to know everything, but he didn't expect to hide it.
"If you marry this Wei Wanyan, maybe ......" Jin You bit his lip and didn't bear to say any more.
The man next to him was nothing unusual, he lay down half of his body on the soft couch, exhaled heavily, as if he had vomited out all the depression in his heart, and played with Jinyou's hair like a child.
"Ah Jin go home and have a good rest."
She heard what seemed to be under his spell, and nodded earnestly.
