He picked her up and put her on his chest, his hands tapping her back. [No pop-ups. The lightning was like a swimming dragon, and the thunder kept roaring overhead, and it was pitch black all around, only the white light kept flickering, illuminating everything in the world and the earth.
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
"Ahem......"
A slight cough suddenly sounded, but Zhuge Yue was shocked, grabbed Chu Qiao's shoulders and straightened her, stared at her tightly with his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "Are you awake?" Awake? ”
Chu Qiao's cough was very soft at first, but gradually it became violent, and his mouth and nose overflowed with pitch-black muddy water. Her cheeks were flushed, she leaned on Zhuge Yue's arms, unable to speak, and could only cough one after another.
Even the sound of coughing sounds like fairy music at the moment. The cold wind was like a knife, the heavy rain was pouring, and Zhuge Yue's strength was almost completely drained in an instant. On this night close to death, he suddenly didn't want to hide anything against his will, he wrapped his arms around and hugged the woman in his arms tightly in the open field.
"Your ...... Family Club...... Dispose of yours. The voice of Qi Ruosi sounded in his arms, the voice was so small, and it was shattered by the wind in the wilderness in an instant, "Great Xia...... Zhao Yang...... Zhao Che will not let you go. ”
The rain was still falling, washing away the blood and mud from the two of them, and a bolt of lightning streaked overhead, allowing them to see each other's pale cheeks more and more clearly.
"You're going to die! Do you know you're going to die? Chu Qiao's voice was hoarse, but his voice was choked. Along the way, she didn't know what he meant to protect, but now that he was openly using force with Zhao Yang's people, didn't he know what consequences would await him? "Who do you think you are?" She gritted her teeth and glared at him viciously, "You killed my family, hurt me and Yan Xun, I can't wait to kill you with one sword." The enmity between you and me is as deep as the sea, and we don't share the sky, why do you want to save me? ”
Zhuge Yue didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, and Chu Qiao's entanglement finally collapsed completely in such a calm look. Fighting all the way to escape, several times of life and death were in danger, and now in this rainy night, the high wall in her heart was finally overwhelmed, and she was crushed by many contradictory emotions.
"Zhuge Yue, I owe you so much, what do you want me to do?" She closed her swollen eyes and let the tears trickle down her face.
The ancient road is straight, straight from the way it came, and then straight to the way, the rain is pouring down, the lightning is like a dragon, and the night is as bright as day.
Fierce fighting took place for nearly an hour in the busiest street of Amber County that day, but there was still not a single officer or soldier coming, so it is clear who the mastermind of the assassination was. Zhao Yang is different from others, this kid has been bullied in the palace since he was a child, and he has developed a ruthless character, even if he dares to kill Zhuge Yue. In desperation, Zhuge Yue had to sneak around secretly with the seriously injured Chu Qiao, and did not contact Yue Qi and the others.
On this day, they joined a caravan that was going to Tangjing, delivered some silver taels, and asked to go with the caravan as ordinary people.
After closing the door, Zhuge Yue said to Chu Qiao: "I heard that the owner of this caravan is named Liu Xi, do you know this person?" ”
Chu Qiao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "There should be a relationship." ”
"Let's go now." Zhuge Yue said decisively.
"Wait a minute!" Chu Qiao hurriedly shouted, "I have only met him from a distance, I haven't even seen his appearance clearly, and I haven't said anything, and it was many years ago. ”
Zhuge Yue frowned tightly, Chu Qiao naturally knew what he was worried about, and said: "The people outside only treat us as ordinary people who are sick, and there will be no chance to meet guests at all, as long as I am careful, it will be fine." ”
"He's Liu Mingjun's nephew?"
"Yes."
Zhuge Yue pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "The Liu family is also a big family in Xianyang, and when I entered Xianyang City that day, I don't know if there is him in the welcome team. ”
When Chu Qiao heard this, he frowned slightly, and Zhuge Yue said: "It's better to be careful, I'll go to the market tomorrow morning to buy horses, and then we'll drive to Tangjing by ourselves." ”
Chu Qiao nodded, her position at this time was rather awkward, Liu Xi was Liu Mingjun's nephew, so he was also a member of the Great Companion Association, since he was his own person, and he recognized them, they would naturally settle themselves well, and would arrange for them to retreat back to Yanbei. But Zhuge Yue has no guards by his side now, if Liu Xi has bad intentions......
"You rest first," putting Chu Qiao on the bed, Zhuge Yue said, "I'll go and ask Xiao Er to cook a few dishes, what do you want to eat?" ”
Chu Qiao shook his head and said, "Whatever." ”
Zhuge Yue turned around and said as he walked: "If you don't do it casually, there's no way, what can you eat in this broken place." ”
Seeing the man's figure disappear at the door, Chu Qiao was in a trance, and then the corners of his mouth tugged and pulled out a weak smile.
With the power of the Zhuge family, I am afraid that there are contact locations and people belonging to their families everywhere in the entire Simon Continent, as one of the families that control the lifeblood of the empire, there will never be a little bit of political power that can only be seen by the eyes.
How much of the dark line under this sky is in the hands of the Zhuge family? How much is in the hands of Wei Valve? How many belong to the Great Xia Zhao clan? Belongs to the Bian Tang Li family? Belongs to the Wai Song Nalan clan? No one can clearly define it.
Chu Qiao knew that behind any big family, there was a hundred years of family struggle, even if Zhao Zhengde eradicated the Mu He clan in a rage, could it be determined that the foundation of the Mu He clan's century-old business would be wiped out in the territory of Great Xia?
The power of the Zhuge family will never be worse than Yan Xun on the Yanbei Plateau, and as the orthodox family of the empire, they have a political status that Yanbei cannot match.
Hidden behind the tens of thousands of family soldiers are the children of the family who have been imperceptibly planted in the empire for many years, the officials and officials who are densely packed with the surname Zhuge in the official names of the officials, the roads created by money, the hearts of the people bought by power, the forces bound by interests, and the groups that hold the handles.
Yanbei openly rebelled, so the Yanbei family all stood on the opposite side of the empire. But it is conceivable that if one day, the Zhuge family rebels, if they are given time to plan, if they are allowed to prepare like Yanbei and raise the anti-flag, then what kind of devastating disaster will the Zhao family face!
Therefore, with the power of the Zhuge family, with Zhuge Yue's status in the family, no matter where he is, as long as he rises to the top and raises his arms, a large number of children and cronies of the family will gather in an instant. But Zhuge Yue obviously didn't have this plan, he just carefully hid his identity all the way and took care of her diet and daily life in person, but never notified the family and waited for his subordinates' actions.
Perhaps, he was afraid that the person who came was not his descendant, and would reveal Chu Qiao's identity, and then be used by the opponents of the family to make a big fuss.
Chu Qiao sneered faintly, mocking her own Tai Chi pusher-style self-deception, she knew very well what the reason for everything that happened, but she was unwilling to admit and face it, so she closed her eyes evasively and waited quietly for the passage of time.
Perhaps, he just wanted to accompany him in a relatively calm environment, he was not the young master of the Zhuge family, and he didn't have to stand behind Yan Xun. It's just ordinary people in the world, there is no antagonism, no hatred, no irreconcilable contradictions, and no responsibilities that are so realistic that they can't be escaped.
Such an opportunity, they may only have one chance in their lifetime.
Chu Qiao slowly closed her eyes, hoping that she would fall asleep quickly, some things were too dangerous to think about, she understood everything, but she couldn't respond.
They live in the world, they all have their own paths to go, from the beginning, they have stood at two starting points, eight years down, each of them has gone farther and farther. To be a man, you still have to be calm and rational.
Chu Qiao was weak, and he slowly fell asleep after a while. Before going to bed, she laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking about what to do so much, at least now, there is still no way to draw a line with him.
When Zhuge Yue came back, Chu Qiao had already fallen asleep, with her shallow breath and the faint aroma of her daughter's house in the air, Zhuge Yue was holding a large tray with a bunch of dishes and a pot of wine.
He set the meal, sat down at the table, and poured a glass of wine.
It's a small shop, but the dishes are delicious, and even with the lid on, the aroma continues to waft out and get into your nose. The wine is very mellow, clear and translucent, and the taste is strong and fragrant, and after taking a sip, the whole body warms up.
The fiery red sunset cast its light in, shining on his body and pulling out a long silhouette on the ground.
He just sat and drank slowly, and the sun was setting and the streets were lit up, and people were coming and going. Then after a while, the market finally dispersed and the whole city fell silent. Under the dark sky, everyone fell asleep, but he sat quietly in the darkness without lighting the lamp or speaking, like a statue, only his arms moving back and forth between the flask and the glass.
Chu Qiao woke up in the middle of the night, his head hurting as if he had been smashed by thousands of hammers together. Sleepy-eyed, she wanted to drink water, but noticed the shadow in the darkness.
At that time, her first reaction was to touch the dagger on her calf, and even in such a weak state, she still jumped up instantly, like an agile leopard.
However, she soon reacted, put down the dagger in a daze, looked at the man in the dark, and said puzzledly: "Zhuge Yue? ”
"Hmm." She was answered in a faint nasal voice, the man seemed to have drunk a lot, and the room was very drunk, "Drink water?" ”
Chu Qiao nodded, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't see it when he nodded, and just as he wanted to speak, a glass of water had already been handed to his mouth.
She took it, and the tentacles were warm, even a little hot. The cup was very small, but Chu Qiao held it with both hands, and after taking a sip, she licked her dry lips, her voice was hoarse with the one she had just woken up, and said softly: "Why don't you light the lamp?" ”
The room was so quiet that you could even hear the grunt of liquor rolling through the man's throat, and it was a long time before a faint voice slowly sounded, "It's good to be dark." ”
Chu Qiao asked seriously: "Zhuge Yue, when will you call me Chu Qiao?" ”
The man snorted coldly, "You dream." ”
"You're just too paranoid." As soon as the words fell, Chu Qiao suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Actually, I'm just like you, and I'm also paranoid. So what I decided will not change. ”
Zhuge Yue didn't speak, Chu Qiao's interest seemed to be very good tonight, her voice was very soft, and she continued: "Actually, you are not a bad person, although you are a little withdrawn, your methods are a little cruel, you have no sympathy, and, well, when you have a black face, you are more annoying, and there is nothing more." But who in this world is not cruel? Who hasn't had blood on their hands? This world is like this, if you don't eat others, others will eat you, and until now, I can't remember how many lives I have on my hands. Zhuge Yue, do you remember clearly? As soon as the words fell, Chu Qiao asked himself and replied, "You should be counted, you are a superior person, and the people you kill with your own hands are nothing more than some subordinates who offend you." But I can't remember exactly, in the past six months, more people have died at my hands than I have spoken to in this life. Every time the knife fell, it was a head, and the blood in their cavity was always hot, spraying on my face, like coals of fire.
Just look at the refreshing one
