Chapter 106: Sisters
I know that today's dividing line may be upsetting again, but it's true. You may have discovered that the popularity of writing essays at Haiyan has decreased recently, and there are often strange ideas such as "why do I spend so much time and energy writing this article", and I feel that there is something wrong with my mentality, so I take a few days off, and I am ready to read books and discs (I haven't read a lot of them~~~), and strive to come back in a better state~~~
βββββββββββββββββββββThis is the dividing line for your pardonββββββββββββββββββββ
When King Jing asked to borrow books, Meng Zhi was standing half an arm's length away from Mei Changsu. Although he didn't turn his head directly to look, the commander of the forbidden army obviously felt that Mei Changsu's body stiffened, and his breathing froze for a moment.
"It's okay, if Your Highness likes it, just take it and see it." After a moment of abnormality, Mei Changsu immediately smiled, and his tone was no different from usual.
King Jing bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude, wrapped the book in his sleeve, and turned to leave. Mei Changsu waited for the stone door on his side to close, Fang slowly moved out of the secret room, Meng Zhi silently followed him for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Xiaoshu, is there anything wrong with that book?" β
"Nope."
He replied so quickly, Meng Zhi was a little surprised, "But you ...... just now"
Mei Changsu's footsteps condensed slightly, his eyes flashed faintly, and he said in a low voice: "The content and handwriting of the annotations are nothing, just ......"
Meng Zhi waited, didn't wait for the next thing for a long time, and then asked, "Just what?" β
"There are two words, I have to reduce the pen to avoid it."
"Avoid ...... What to avoid? What two words? Meng Zhi didn't understand and blinked in confusion.
Mei Changsu groaned slightly, and did not answer directly, "The nickname of the first mother's boudoir, I met ...... when I wrote the annotation"
"That'...... Does it matter? β
"It should be nothing. Jing Yan didn't know what my mother's name was, and those two words were not commonly used, he had never noticed that I had avoided these two words before, and besides, he had only subtracted the last one, and he might not even notice it at all. β
"Oh," Meng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, what were you nervous about just now?" β
"I don't know why," Mei Changsu's gaze was a little distant and a little sad, "probably because there are traces of the past in it after all, I was inexplicably nervous, and then I realized that Jing Yan couldn't see it at all......"
At this time, the outermost door of the secret room had opened from the inside, and Feiliu's handsome face flashed by the door. Although he waited for a long time, he seemed to have only glanced at Mei Changsu, and then he was relieved, and then went to his bed to sleep.
Meng Zhi hid in front of the secret passage, Mei Changsu said "come out and talk again", but now it's not too early, and the two of them are a little worried, so after saying goodbye, Meng Zhi left directly.
Feiliu went to sleep without lighting the lamp in the room, and the only light source in the room was a five-branch Ginza oil lamp on the outer bookcase. Mei Changsu walked to the table, stretched out his hand to hold up the lampstand, his eyes fell casually, and he saw that the small pen on the desk was still resting in place, but the book was no longer there, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.
The past that has passed is like a sticky lotus silk, although it was inadvertently held in Xiao Jingyan's hand, but because it was too thin and transparent, it would never be seen by him.
Mei Changsu took a deep breath, as if he wanted to get rid of this somewhat weak emotion, took a other book in his hand, picked up the lampstand and walked inside. Feiliu was already asleep, and his long, steady snort rose and fell in silence, which was reassuring. Mei Changsu glanced at him from afar, lightly put the lampstand on the small table in front of the bed, and just unbuttoned his robe, a low voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Is the Sect Master resting?"
"Come in." Mei Changsu responded while taking off his robe and leaning on the pillow. Li Gang pushed the door in, went directly into the inner room, and handed a small copper cylinder with both hands.
Mei Changsu took the cylinder, skillfully twisted left and right a few times, twisted the lid of the cylinder, poured out a small paper roll into the palm of his hand, unfolded it and looked at it, there was no expression, and he went directly to the lamp and burned it.
"Sect Master ......"
Mei Changsu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Pay more attention to the Liyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, if there are any new trends, report to me in advance." β
"Yes."
Originally, he moved the lamp and brought the book into the room, intending to read it for a while, but at this moment, Mei Changsu seemed to be a little sleepy, and after saying that, he pushed the pillow and fell down, signaling that he was ready to sleep.
Li Gang didn't dare to disturb any more, blew out the lights and candles, and quietly retreated, covering the door.
The night was windy, and it seemed to be raining outside, and the sound of knocking on the window made it more and more empty inside.
Mei Changsu turned inward and opened his eyes in the dark, but it didn't take long for him to close them again......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rhino Town is a very ordinary one among the many small towns around Jinling, with only about 200 residents, and only one main street, with some tofu shops, snack bars, grocery stores and other shops on the street.
In the early morning of this day, a small green cloth sedan chair carried by two people swayed into Rhino Town. Due to the light rain the night before, the feet of the sedan chair driver were stained with yellow mud, and at first glance it was from the official road.
In addition to a small tea shop that also buys snacks, there is only one snack bar serving hot dishes and noodles in the whole Rhino Town, so after strolling to the end of the main street, the sedan chair turns back and falls in front of the snack bar when there is no other choice.
The sedan chair driver opened the sedan curtain, and it was a female guest who came out. Although it was summer, she still wore a veil, and after entering the snack bar, she stood in the middle of the store and turned her head to look around, probably because she was too dirty to sit down.
The boss greeted him, wiped the tables and chairs carefully again, and was about to speak with a smile, when the female guest suddenly said, "The fourth sister is not outside?" β
The smile froze on the boss's dough face, but only for a moment, he regained his senses, put the handkerchief over his shoulder, and replied, "Rest in the back." Does the girl want to go in? β
The female guest nodded and followed the boss into the backyard. The two palanquin bearers stood at a table in front of the snack bar and poured their own tea.
The backyard is separated from the front hall by a low mud wall, which feels very different, not only is it not the slightest tattered and dirty, but it is exceptionally clean and comfortable. Two tall red pomegranates are planted in the center, and the heavy fruits are already hanging among the green leaves. The boss invited the female guest to sit under the pomegranate tree and entered the east wing by herself. After about a moment, the boss didn't come out, but another woman came out.
"Fourth sister." The female guest immediately stood up and beckoned.
"You sit." The fourth sister is very young in appearance, with delicate skin and delicate eyebrows. Such a stunning beauty, but for some reason she lives in seclusion in this quiet town.
"But I haven't seen her for a few years, and the fourth sister has become plump." The female guest took off her veil, revealing her snowy face and smiling.
"Yes," the fourth sister smiled faintly, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are more graceful." β
"How dare you compare with the fourth sister? When the fourth sister was at its peak, she entered the top three of the Langya beauty list. Later, I suddenly went into seclusion, and I don't know how many people sighed and fell in love behind you. β
The fourth sister's eyelashes drooped, her small curled chin was slightly closed, and although there was no other movement, a sad mood that hit people's hearts appeared, "Pranya, I'm sorry for saying goodbye back then." But I'm so tired...... I haven't forgotten Master's kindness, but after all, her old man is no longer there, so we ...... It's time to live our own lives......"
Qin Panruo's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, but then he smiled, and his tone was still extremely stable, "Where did the fourth sister say, the great cause of restoring the country has not been completed, and the humiliation of the country has not been washed, how can you easily slack off?" β
The fourth sister smiled bitterly, "Pranya, the master passed on the mantle to you, so I always obeyed your instructions when I was in the capital. But there are some things that I have to say now. It has been more than 30 years since the destruction of the country, and we have never experienced the so-called tragedy of the country, but we just listened to the master's story. What's more, at that time, there were many heroes, each annexed, and there were more than a dozen small countries that were swallowed up by major powers in the past few decades, and my slippery tribe was just one of them, so why bother? β
Qin Panruo bit his silver teeth lightly and said coldly: "Because the country is small, is it worthy of being destroyed?" β
"I didn't mean that, but I just want you to see the situation. In the past, when my slippery tribe had a country, it was inevitable to struggle for survival for the time being, first attached to Daliang, and then rebelled to Dayu, and tried all means to keep a lineage. Now we have no country, no roots, no roots, the descendants of the Hua people are either scattered, or have been assimilated by the Liang people, the situation is worse than back then, to mention the word "restore the country", it is really easy to talk about it......"
"In the end, the fourth sister still can't trust me." Qin Panruo froze a pair of autumn water, and his face showed a sad expression, "If the master is still alive, with her amazing genius and treacherous calculations, the fourth sister will not be as disheartened as she is now, right?" β
The fourth sister's face was slightly pale, as if she had been hit by a word, she dodged her gaze, and said in a low voice for a long time: "The so-called wisdom is easy to break, and the master is because the aura is too strong, so it is difficult to have a long life." Although you are also extremely intelligent, you are different from Master after all. Think about it, since the death of her old man, you have worked so hard to manage, have you ever had half of her grand occasion back then? In such a situation, it is difficult to support it alone, so why should you be stubborn? β
Qin Panruo began to listen, still a little moved, but after hearing this, his expression returned to condensement, and his tone was like ice: "Then according to the meaning of the fourth sister, we will not avenge the blood feud that our temple was destroyed and the lord was killed?" β
"Hasn't this revenge been avenged?" The fourth sister sighed, "Master, with his unparalleled wisdom, was stealthy as a strategist, calculated people's hearts, stirred up the situation, and finally made the Daliang royal family fight, father and son were suspicious, and the Red Flame Army was removed, isn't this revenge?" β
Qin Panruo shook his head, "The one who exterminated the Slippery Clan, although it is the Red Flame Army, but the hatred of the country must be counted on the body of the Great Liang Imperial Court. It's a pity that God refuses to give Master time, otherwise, with her wisdom, even if she can't restore the country, it will be enough to overturn the world. You and my sister have been deeply favored by the teacher, even if they are not talented, they can't ignore her old man's last wishes. β
"But Prajna, the master used trickery to win back then, relying on her brain. Although you have maintained the network of contacts and intelligence she has left us well, if we can't do what she does, how can we fulfill her last wish? The fourth sister's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were very gloomy, "You are now the strategist of King Yu, but you are just continuing the old strategy of the master to provoke the brother and the wall, but the results are not as good as one or two of her back then." First of all, you will look away from King Yu, he is not a mediocre talent who can be rubbed by you, and it is not as easy to control as the prince back then. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you help King Yu destroy the prince in the end, and then destroy King Yu, after all, it will only weaken the national strength of Daliang and make the fishermen of his country benefit, and it is still a vast ......and indefinite time until my Hua clan returns to the country."
A sneer appeared on Qin Panruo's lips, "Even if there is no hope of recovering the country, let Da Liang also taste the taste of the dead country, and it can be regarded as comforting the master's spirit in the sky." Fourth sister, you have said so much, it is nothing more than saying that I will not succeed. But since I have inherited the mantle of Master, how can I give up because it is difficult to succeed? Over the years, you have lived freely, I care about the love of sisterhood, how have I ever come to disturb me? If I hadn't had a problem, I wouldn't have come to the door. But Fourth Sister, you are eloquent, but you don't ask me why I came to you for a word, which is really chilling. β
The fourth sister lowered her head, with some guilt in her eyes, and said apologetically: "Praruo, I've been idle for all these years, where is there anything that can help you, don't ask, just don't dare to ask." β
Qin Panruo stared at her, her lips trembled, and a layer of mist slowly floated in her beautiful eyes, "Fourth sister, my red-sleeved moves are almost unsupportable, do you know?" β
The fourth sister jumped and said, "How come?" β
"In the past few months, the backbone of my red-sleeved moves has either died or rebelled, and it has been completely damaged, and the newly recruited girls have not been trained well and dare not use them indiscriminately, and I am overstretched by people. That's not all, even the eyeliner that was secretly planted in various provinces was pulled out one by one, and the few who remained did not dare to let them move. The king of honor was as suspicious as his father, and the trust I had cultivated over the years had recently been dissipated. If I hadn't used some means to distract him from the suspicion of the princess, I am afraid that he would have turned his face against those erroneous information...... Fourth sister, Master asked you to take care of me back then, didn't you help when it came to survival? β
She said sincerely, and the fourth sister couldn't help but be a little moved, and sighed lightly and persuaded: "Praruo, since you can't hold on, don't hold on, take this opportunity to retire and live in peace, isn't it?" β
Qin Panruo was as cold as ice, and said categorically: "The fourth sister can be stubborn when I am stubborn, but the teacher's life is like heaven to me, although my qualifications are limited, it is difficult to become a great weapon, and I will not give up halfway, and I will cherish this life." β
"You ......," the fourth sister sighed, "Well, what do you want me to do?" β
Qin Panruo raised his eyebrows with joy, and said politely: "Praruo wants to borrow the beauty and charm of the fourth sister to break a man for me." β
