Chapter Seventy-Eight: Rumors
"Ah Yun, you said Brother Feng is still alive? It's true? You didn't lie to me? ”
Chen Xi grabbed Lie Yun's hand and asked cautiously, for fear that he was dreaming, and he would wake up from the dream if he was loud.
Lieyun nodded, "Sister Xi, the eldest brother is really alive, it's just ......"
"It's great, Brother Feng didn't die, it's great." Chen Xi smiled with tears in his eyes and muttered in his mouth.
Lieyun didn't know what to say for a moment.
After being immersed in surprise for a while, Chen Xi reacted, "Ah Yun, what were you going to say just now?" “
Long pain is better than short pain, "Sister Xi, although the eldest brother has picked up a life, he has been unconscious for three years, and his appearance is completely ruined, and his limbs are broken. Although the Medicine King Gu Master tried his best to heal him, and his injuries were no longer serious, the face of the eldest brother could never go back to before. “
Lie Yun gritted his teeth and explained to Chen Xi in one breath before and after meeting Gale in the Medicine King Valley.
"Brother Feng, is he so seriously injured? Who is it, who poisoned Brother Feng so far? No wonder, Brother Feng is still alive, but he hasn't come home, not even a word, it turns out that it's not that he doesn't want to go home, but he can't at all! “
Listening to the words of the fierce clouds, Chen Xi suddenly saw the gale lying in front of his eyes full of scars, his heart hurt as if a needle was pricking, and his always gentle and beautiful face showed a sharp blade like ice for the first time, and he longed to drink his blood and eat his flesh for the person who poisoned the gale wind.
"Sister Xi, don't worry, who killed the eldest brother, I'll find out later. Not only did they poison my eldest brother, but they also had nothing to do with the deaths of my eldest uncle and aunt and my father. ”
Looking at the fierceness on Lieyun's face, Chen Xi was startled, and felt sour, stretched out his arm and took Lieyun into his arms.
He is four years older than Ah Yun, but when he heard that Brother Feng was killed like this, he already felt that the pain of the sword piercing his heart was unbearable, but Ah Yun saw it with his own eyes! Ah Yun and Brother Feng are cousins, but the two love each other better than brothers and sisters, so how sad Ah Yun should be at that time!
Brother Feng can be said to be lost and regained for himself, but for Ah Yun, his dead parents will never come back!
Ah Yun is only fourteen years old, and before he is ready, he has to endure so much suffering and the blood feud of his loved ones...... Chen Xi hugged Lie Yun tighter.
"Ah Yun, is there a place where Sister Xi can help you? Since Ah Yun doesn't dislike Sister Xi, and you are willing to let Sister Xi be your sister-in-law, then I am also a member of the Lie family. Ah Yun, you can't carry everything on your shoulders, avenge Brother Feng, avenge Brother Feng's parents and your father, and you should also count me as one. ”
Ah Yun should have been at the age of willfulness and coquettishness in the arms of his parents at this time, but he wanted to use his immature hands to swing a sword to kill the enemy, since he was already concerned about the gale, what was the point of worrying about those boudoir training? Together with Ah Yun, kill the enemy side by side to avenge your loved ones!
"Thank you, Sister Xi!" Lie Yun hugged Chen Xi back, the corners of his mouth curled.
Although Sister Xi inherited Uncle Chen's elegant side, she still followed Aunt Lin in her bones, full of chivalry and heroism.
"Sister Xi, that Medicine King Valley is thousands of miles away, if you have the opportunity, would you like to go and see the eldest brother?"
"It's my great luck to see Brother Feng again. Don't say it's thousands of miles away, it's thousands of miles, and I'm going too. ”
At this time, in the medicine garden of the Medicine King Valley, the medicine slave was staring straight at the dry right hand exposed by the gale wind outside the quilt, his eyes were wide open and unblinking, and the black mountain was lying quietly aside.
His eyes were sour and unbearable, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, but the medicine slave didn't pay attention to it, I don't know how long it took, and finally, the little finger of Gale Wind's right hand was almost invisibly bent, and after a few breaths, the whole right hand shook slightly.
The medicine slave couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Montenegro's head, and whimpered softly. Montenegro didn't move and let the medicine slave indulge his emotions, only raising his head from time to time and licking away the tears on the medicine slave's face.
The scene just now was like a flash in the pan, and the person on the bed never moved again, but the tall back holding the black mountain trembling violently revealed a hope that had not been seen for a long time.
In the Drunken Immortal House, Mo Ju looked at the deep sisterhood between Lieyun and Chen Xi, and was happy and moved in her heart, and couldn't help but drink two more cups of plum blossom brew.
Cailan and Xiangling also had wet eyes, and shook each other's hands, good sisters, sharing joys and sorrows.
Lie Yun really wanted to just lie in Chen Xi's warm arms and stay forever, but not now.
Sitting up, Lie Yun looked at Chen Xi, "Sister Xi, in fact, I asked you to come today, in addition to talking about the eldest brother, I also need Sister Xi to do me a favor." ”
"What do you need me to do, Ah Yun, just say it!" Chen Xi didn't expect to be able to give Lieyun a helper so quickly, so he naturally agreed.
But after listening to Lieyun's plan, Chen Xi frowned.
"Ah Yun, do you really want to do that? Isn't there a better way? You know that doing so will ruin your reputation! ”
Lie Yunwan'er, "Sister Xi, compared to the lives of my eldest uncle and aunt and my mother's father, compared to the injuries of my eldest brother and the pain in the hearts of my grandfather and grandmother, and compared to the tens of millions of martyrs who died in battle in vain, what is my reputation?" Please also ask Sister Xi to help me! ”
Looking at the nonchalant smile on Lie Yun's face, Chen Xi held back his tears, even though he was distressed, he still nodded in response.
In a blink of an eye, it is fifteen, approaching the end of the year, the weather is cloudy and uncertain, no matter day or night, a few snowflakes will be sprinkled if you are willful.
Lieyun got up early in the morning as usual and went to Songhe Hall to invite the second elder of the Cui family to dinner.
Only today Cui Jing finished eating, but he did not rush to the yamen office as in the past, but stayed to drink tea and talk with everyone.
"Jing'er, why aren't you busy in the yamen today? I actually have time to talk to us. ”
Old lady Cui has been an official, although it has not been for a long time, but she also knows that in the past few days before the seal, whether it is the palace or the yamen, you have to be very busy.
"Back to my father, there are still a lot of official duties in the yamen, but Lord Shangshu sees that his son has been working too hard for several days, so he specially allowed his son to go for an hour tonight and have the right to rest."
Hearing the old father's question, Cui Jing gave up his hand and answered, but what he said was not true. This morning, it was actually Cui Jing who took leave from his boss, just because he heard those rumors about Lieyun yesterday, and he couldn't sleep at night.
"Lord Yang is so sympathetic to Jing'er," Old Lady Cui looked at Cheng Jinsi with a smile, "Jinsi, this year's New Year's gift to Lord Yang's family will be three points thicker." ”
Cheng Jinsi happily agreed, giving the Yang family a heavy New Year's gift, and his face was bright.
Lie Yun listened to a few people talking, and his eyes were dark.
Cui Jing's immediate boss, Yang Fangxin, the secretary of the ministry.
This person, like Cui Jing, also began to soar after Zhao Qiming succeeded to the throne three years ago, from a little-known Shanxi Qing official of the Zhengwupin Household Department, step by step to the position of a Shangshu of the second grade.
In addition, this person is also inextricably linked with the Xiao family, and is the younger brother of Yang Fangyu, the wife of Xiao Songqi's wife, the current commander of the Shanxi Metropolitan of the Xiao family. The Yang family was originally only a third-rate ordinary eunuch family, but with the Xiao family, they slowly became upper-class.
The Xiao family was later disgusted by Emperor Qinglong and fell into a trough, and the Yang family also followed suit. Until Zhao Qiming succeeded to the throne, the Xiao family produced the emperor's nephew and the aunt and grandmother who was the queen mother, regained their former glory, and the Yang family also followed the tide, and finally entered the aristocratic circle of Dingjing.
Shanxi is in office, and has a close relationship with the Xiao family, if it is said that this Xiao Songqi has nothing to do with the old things three years ago, Lieyun does not believe it.
"Yun'er, Yun'er?"
Lie Yun thought about it, Cui Jing screamed a few times but didn't hear it, and only reacted when Cui Wanning hit him with his arm.
"Uncle, you called me? The golden dried plums in breakfast were too delicious, and Yun'er still had some aftertaste, and she was fascinated by it for a while and didn't hear it. As if he was found to be greedy, Lieyun looked ashamed.
Old lady Cui and old lady Cui laughed when they heard this, and said that they would let the cook make it again and send it to the purple courtyard later, Cui Wanning and Cui Yanqi were also very happy, it was the first time to see this cousin who had always been stable showing such a childish side, and the two suddenly felt that the relationship with Lie Yun was much closer.
Cheng Jinsi also echoed the smile, only Cui Jing, although he smiled on his face, there was distress in his eyes.
"Uncle Yun'er is in trouble?" Lie Yun's cheeks turned crimson with everyone's laughter, and he hurriedly asked Cui Jing about it.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, that's it," Cui Jing wanted to speak and stopped, but remembered the words he heard outside yesterday, "I just want to ask Yun'er, this Spring Festival this year, but would you like to go back to the Liefu Mansion to spend it with your grandfather and grandmother?" ”
The laughter in the room stopped abruptly.
