Allure (9)
I suddenly realized that my ability to make up stories is really good, and in just a few moments, I can make up my life experience without blinking an eye. I was an orphan girl, my parents died when I was very young, and I was taken in by the elders of Momen by fate, and I grew up studying art in Momen. So no matter how much I try to make it up, I don't think they have any evidence.
Fifteen years ago, He Liancheng's father, He Yuanshan, led the Beidi army to attack Dasheng, and fought a decisive battle with Dasheng's army at Zhengyang Pass for more than three months, and he has not been able to attack for a long time. I once heard Qianmo talk to the elders about this matter. So I borrowed this and derived my experience.
After three months of bloody fighting, both Dasheng and Beidi suffered heavy casualties, but the battle situation has been stalemate, and later the Beidi army lacked food and grass, and it was difficult to continue, so the villages near Zhengyangguan became their target for grabbing food.
That night, the iron hooves of the Beidi army broke through the peace of the small village where I lived like thunder. By the time the villagers woke up from their sleep, the village was already full of chickens and dogs, and the flames were soaring. My parents and relatives all died in the sudden burning and looting, and only me, who was hidden in the cave by my parents, survived.
"I was orphaned when I was four years old, and I didn't learn until recently that all my parents and relatives died at the hands of your father. As the saying goes, the father pays the debt to the son, shouldn't I seek revenge on you? I clenched my hands into fists, trying to hide the pain in my heart with indifference.
After many years, He Liancheng was only five years old at that time, and he would not know the situation at that time, even if he didn't believe me, there was no way to verify it. What's more, the Beidi people are barbaric and predatory, He Yuanshan can be said to be the more benevolent among the many generals of the Beidi Kingdom, but it is difficult to guarantee that the soldiers under him will not do this kind of burning, killing and looting.
In the era of war and chaos, there are not a few people who have experienced such an encounter as me. So after my remarks, He Liancheng couldn't even find a reason to refute it, just looked at me straight, his eyes were as deep as the sea.
I know he's trying to tell the difference between what I've just said is true and false.
Su Li, who was standing beside him, spoke up: "No matter what, it is a fact that you pretended to be a person to infiltrate the He family's army and tried to harm the general, no matter whose meticulous work you are, or if you are only here for revenge, we can't let you go back." General, his subordinates proposed to take her back to Hefu for detention first, and then consider it in the long run after careful verification. ”
He Liancheng nodded slightly after a slight hesitation, and finally looked at me before he said coldly, "Take it back." ”
Su Li and more than a dozen other guards stepped forward and surrounded me and Chiyan. Chi Yan sensed danger, the fiery red mane on his head stood upright, protecting me, facing Su Li and the others with his teeth and claws, his mouth panting hot, looking like he was about to pounce and attack at any time.
Shocked by Chiyan's ferocity and aggressiveness, Su Li and the others did not dare to act rashly for a while.
"Chiyan, good, I'll come back when I go, it'll be fine, you wait for me here, okay?" I crouched down and hugged Red Flame's head, whispering softly to soothe it.
I know the Red Flame, and if its fire erupts, it is not something that ordinary people can bear. With my martial arts, and with the help of Red Flame, it would be easy for me to escape from this place. But I can't just run away.
Su Li's words just now made me hear some clues. That is, He Jiajun may really be mixed with fine works. And He Liancheng and Su Li did not appear in the military camp for the past two days, presumably investigating the matter in secret. If I escape like this, not to mention that my suspicion of fine work cannot be cleared, it will also give the real fine work who is lurking in the military camp a chance to murder He Liancheng.
And that fine work is likely to be the eyeliner that Wanyan Lu planted beside him, and maybe it will give him a fatal blow at any time.
Therefore, I have to go back with him to prove that I am not a meticulous worker, and that the real meticulous work is someone else.
Of course, there is one more thing that I will not tell anyone. For some reason, I always felt that He Liancheng seemed to be in danger lately, and I didn't worry about being too far away from him. Although I will inevitably be sent to the prison of Hefu when I go back this time, I am still by his side after all.
Red Flame gradually regained his composure under my reassurance. I stood up and said lightly to Su Li, "Let's go." ”
Two guards escorted me out of the hut, Red Flame following closely at my side. When he came to the door of the hut, he saw a group of men and horses galloping in the distance, and the hooves of the horses passed by, raising dust in the sky.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and I looked at it, and it was Murong Jing, the prince of Yanping, who took the lead.
Riding his horse and galloping in front of He Liancheng, Murong Jing pulled the reins, turned over and dismounted, and saw that I was being escorted by the guards on the left and right, and his handsome face was full of concern. "Miss Ye, are you okay?"
I shook my head gently at him. Judging by the way he arrived in a hurry, he shouldn't have rushed to move the rescuers just now.
Murong Jing glanced at me a few times and found that it was indeed fine, so he turned to He Liancheng and said, "General He, please let Miss Ye go." ”
He Liancheng glanced at Murong Jing and said quietly: "Murong Shizi is a guest of the Beidi Kingdom, and General Ben advises you not to meddle in your affairs." ”
"I don't have the spare time to care about your messy things." In terms of height, Murong Jing was half a head shorter than He Liancheng, so he had to raise his head slightly, glared at He Liancheng and said, "But this Ye girl, you can't take it away." ”
"Oh? Why is that? He Liancheng raised his eyebrows, as if asking with interest.
Murong Jing was stunned for a moment, and then replied without being shocked: "Because...... She is the woman of this world! ”
As soon as Murong Jing's words came out, there was a loud sound, and the surroundings were suddenly silent. The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, I was really about to cry stupidly by Murong Jing's innocence. He may think that this will help me out, but he will be causing me trouble.
I've tried my best to clear up my relationship with the Xuan Palace, and if Xiliang Kingdom gets involved again, it will only make the situation more complicated.
"Really?" I saw He Liancheng's body stiffen slightly, and the words spit out from his thin lips became even colder. "I can't imagine that the relationship between Xuanwangfu and Xiliang Kingdom has become so close, and they have actually started to marry?"
His disdainful tone made my heart tighten, and I couldn't even breathe well. I secretly adjusted my mood and said to Murong Jing in a cold voice: "Murong Shizi, please be cautious." ”
Murong Jing said to me urgently: "Miss Ye, you can't go back, you will be in danger!" ”
"I believe that General He is not an indiscriminate person, and he will make a decision after verifying the facts, and on the side of King Xuan's Mansion, General He also needs an explanation."
No matter how I say it, I am also from Xuanwangfu, He Liancheng has no evidence, so he should not take my life easily.
"But......" Murong Jing wanted to say something more, and I had already interrupted him. Thank you Murong Shizi for your concern, if you can, I hope you can help take care of Chiyan. ”
Murong Jing came with a large group of people, but it didn't come in handy, and in the end, he still had to watch me being taken away by He Liancheng, and he couldn't help but be a little frustrated, but his face was more worried. I knew his kindness, and when I passed by him, I whispered to him but said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
It seems that Murong Jing is really interested in me. But I can only thank him for everything he has done for me, and I can't give any other response.
——————————————
The prison of Hefu was dim and gloomy. On top of the high wall, there was only a small skylight, and a dim light shone through this small opening, which became the only channel of contact between the prison and the outside world.
I sat quietly with my back against the wall, my eyes closed, but my thoughts were surging.
It's been the second day since I was in prison. Except for the jailers who came to bring me food regularly, the rest of the time it was quiet.
When He Liancheng threw me into prison yesterday, he approached me, his sharp eyes were sharp, and he stared at me tightly and said, "I can't see that you are quite capable, and even the prince of Yanping can stand out for you desperately." said, what are you doing to join the He family's army? ”
It was the first time that his handsome face had appeared so close to my eyes. I couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat, and I opened my mouth to speak, but was interrupted by his voice. "Don't tell me again that it's for revenge or anything like that, General Ben won't believe it."
"If you don't believe me, why should I say more?" I pretended to be calm and said coldly.
"Don't think that if you don't say it, General Ben won't be able to find out." He Liancheng spat out words like ice, stared at me for a long time, and then turned around and left.
I watched his tall, straight back quickly disappear around the corner of the cell, and smiled wryly.
He Liancheng, of course you can't find out the reason why I mixed into the He family's army. Even if I tell you, how can you believe that this is just a woman's humble and stoic love for you.
