Chapter Forty-Four: The Wind Rises in All Directions
"Miss Yue? How can you sit alone in the yard early in the morning? Are you drinking these? What about the Lord? ”
As soon as the sky was bright, Lu Chongguang hurriedly ran over, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yue sitting alone in the courtyard, an empty wine jug on the ground, the cup in front of Yue seemed to have some residual wine, but there was an empty cup opposite.
Yue silently drank the remnants of wine in the cup, but he was really a little hesitant in his heart.
Believe in you as I am?
It's simple, but are things really that simple?
While Yue was looking at Lu Chongguang, Lu Chongguang was also looking at her quietly.
Looking at the wine jug in this place, no matter who drank it, they didn't sleep all night, could it be that there was a quarrel between these two again?
"He's gone."
Let's go? Where did it go?
Lu Chongguang was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask a question, Yue had already taken the initiative to add a sentence.
"He went back to the north first, leaving me to handle the affairs of the Huai River for him."
"This..."
Lu Chongguang frowned, and there was obviously more suspicion in his gaze. Yue couldn't, in the end, he could only tell Lu Chongguang what he left behind.
Lu Chongguang didn't believe her, even if he was left behind, he would never believe her completely.
But in the current situation, Yue Neng took action to complete the Huai River on behalf of Xing, so that Xing Neng could return to the north to deal with military affairs with peace of mind, there is simply no better choice.
So Lu Chongguang hesitated for a long time after thinking about it, but finally nodded and agreed.
"There is news from the northern country, Han Yi really wants to take advantage of the chaos to attack Hebei, but fortunately, Hu Er stopped it in time, so it didn't cause a big disaster."
"Koji escaped?"
"The news is brief, and the specific situation is not clear, but it seems that it should be eight or nine."
Yue was overjoyed and finally put down a boulder.
No matter how Hu Er escaped, as long as he is safe and sound, it will be a great luck.
"It's a pity that the news came late, Lord him... Do you want me to send someone after me to see if I can intercept the Lord? ”
Lu Chongguang asked tentatively, and as soon as he thought about it, he knew that Lu Chongguang was still not worried about her, but even if Lu Chongguang didn't say that she had thought of this problem herself, this thought was only flashed in her mind and was suppressed by her.
"With the ability to punish, whether he is riding a horse or going another way, who can catch up with him? And although this time he was stopped by Hu Er in time, but now that the current situation of the northern enemy is unstable, he still has to be in charge himself. Even if he is chased back, this back and forth will not be a waste of time. ”
Although Lu Chongguang still had doubts in his heart, but Yue's words were reasonable, even if he was unwilling, he couldn't refute it, and he couldn't clearly say that because he couldn't fully trust her, he wanted to take the opportunity to chase her back, right?
At the same time, a fiery figure had already left Huaihe City, galloping towards the north with the morning light.
Although the others have gone away, the heart is still in the small courtyard.
The punishment is gone, but what needs to be done must continue.
Although Lu Chongguang brought a rare piece of good news, for them, this news was of no practical use except for being exciting, and the only way to do Huaihe was to continue to keep an eye on Gu Mingyi's movements.
As soon as Lu Chongguang left, the courtyard was completely quiet again.
But Qi Su also got up immediately, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Yue sitting alone in the courtyard, looking out of the courtyard in a daze, his face was a little pale, his eyes were a little bruised, and he seemed to have not slept all night, and there were several empty wine jars on the stone table.
"Miss Yue? You don't look good and haven't slept all night? ”
Yue heard Qi Su's voice, retracted her gaze, turned her head to Qi Su and pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, bending into a shallow smile, but this smile with her face always made people feel a little thin and lonely.
"There's good news and bad news, but I'm so tired right now that I can't turn my head around. I have to sleep for a few hours, and if anyone comes to find me, I will ask Miss Su to block it for me, unless it is a hundred thousand urgent matters, and I must not be woken up until noon. ”
Yue's face was very calm, even with a shallow smile, Qi Su's heart tightened, and he had a thought for no reason, I'm afraid that something big will happen soon, Yue This is a person who wants to race against time to recuperate and have the energy to deal with the big things ahead.
Thinking about it like this, Qi Su didn't dare to ask more, so he nodded and agreed busily.
Yue really went back to the room to rest, Qi Su was afraid that someone would disturb her, so she simply took the book and leaned on the porch and sat down. Yue didn't have time to tell her that the sentence had returned to the north in advance, Qi Su thought that most of the people she was referring to were sentences, but she sat all morning, and did not wait for the punishment, but waited for Lu Chongguang and a messenger.
Qi Su felt that something was wrong, and Lu Chongguang was just it, but the subordinate who passed the word was obviously dressed in the Lu Mansion but his words were vague and seemed to deliberately avoid Lu Chongguang.
Although Qi Su didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he only kept an eye on it secretly.
Fortunately, as soon as the subordinate heard that Yue had already ordered that he would not see the guests in the morning, he would not stay any longer, and left a vague sentence to come back later, so he left in a hurry.
Lu Chongguang was in a hurry when he came, but when he heard that Yue was resting, he hesitated, hesitated for a long time, and returned the same way without leaving a word.
Qi Su naturally recognized him, and she even planned to take the initiative to ask if there was anything important that she needed to tell Yue, but when Lu Chongguang's eyes swept her back and forth dozens of times in addition to suspicion or suspicion, as if he wanted to gouge out the eighteen generations of her ancestors, and swept her back and forth dozens of times, no matter how much kindness she had in her heart, it was gone.
It wasn't until Lu Chongguang walked for a long, long time that she finally figured out one thing, no matter how Yue treated her, she was always an irrelevant outsider in the eyes of others and even needed to be guarded again.
Qi Su was depressed, knowing that this was a helpless reality, but he still couldn't stop thinking.
Why didn't she do anything to Xiao Wei, even she felt that it was very excessive, but Xiao Wei still let her as before?
Why is it that the root cause of her hatred and blood in her heart is obviously not in Xiao Wei, but he still suffers from her hairpin but has no complaints?
Why did she suddenly think of the person she had neglected for seven years after she had already fled from Yudu, but after she was determined to completely abandon those dark and painful pasts?
Why did those whistling things almost force her to have nowhere to escape in her heart, but she didn't want to know the answer at all, but wanted to knock herself unconscious with a stick, and when she woke up, she didn't remember anything.
She used to be a brainless young lady, but after so many things, she still has some self-knowledge.
If it sounds good, you dare to love and hate, but to put it bluntly, isn't it brainless, emotional, and loves to drill the horns?
She finally sobered up when she left Yudu, but when she thought of Xiao Wei's affairs, she would rather be an ostrich that buried her head in the sand forever.
Seeing that it was finally noon, Lu Chongguang came again and brought a sumptuous lunch, Qi Su woke up Yue as promised.
But the three people at the same table were all absent-minded and couldn't swallow, wasting a table of good dishes in vain.
Qi Su only filled her stomach indiscriminately and hurriedly left the table, she really couldn't stand Lu Chongguang's probing and thoughtful gaze.
He had something important to say to Yue, not only did he refuse to speak in case of Qi Su's presence, but he couldn't pull down his son and ask Qi Su to leave.
Yue naturally had already noticed the awkwardness between the two, but on one side was Qi Su and on the other side was Lu Chongguang, although she believed in Qi Su in her heart, but Lu Chongguang was even suspicious of her, how could she believe Qi Su?
Yue was embarrassed, but saw that Qi Su had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, smiled at her slightly, and then got up and walked away. Lu Chongguang watched Qi Su finally leave the table, so he couldn't wait to say.
"There is news from Quanzhou that all the boats set off in the direction of the Huai River last night."
"Yesterday? How did it all happen yesterday... ”
Yue was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he continued.
"Probably the Qi country can't wait to come, since the Zhenbei army has successfully entered Sangyu, the follow-up grain and grass are bound to be delayed. It's been delayed for so many days, and even the punishment can't be stabilized and rushed back to the north, so this trick has already had an effect on making people who have the intention to intercept food take care of one or the other, and if it drags on any longer, the Zhenbei army in front will be in chaos. ”
"It's a pity that the news is so late, the Lord is on him...
"Although the news arrived, the ships did not know when they would arrive. The situation in the northern country is critical, and it is good for the punishment to go back a moment early. ”
Lu Chongguang suddenly fell silent, with a thoughtful expression, and continued for a long time.
"Emperor Xuan probably didn't expect the girl to intervene in this matter, although Chongguang thought in his heart that the lord treated the girl like this, and the girl should help the lord. But Chongguang also knew in his heart that this matter might be embarrassing for the girl after all, so the Lord never thought of letting the girl interfere. ”
"I'm glad you said that to me, at least to prove that you believe in me at last. But there is no need to apologize, if I am replaced by Boss Lu's position, it is inevitable that I will have doubts like Boss Lu, and I only implore Boss Lu to do his best to help, so as not to entrust me in vain. ”
"That's nature. However, this group of ships departed last night, and the day after tomorrow should arrive at the latest. ”
"Well, I think it's about the same, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, Boss Lu will need to work hard for a few more days."
Lu Chongguang nodded, carefully discussed the arrangement with Yue, and then went out again.
Although the ship from Quanzhou will not arrive for a while, there are still many things that must be arranged in advance.
This batch of ships from Quanzhou means that most of the grain and grass are already on board, although they must stop through the Huai River for supplies, but the stay time will never be too long, at most one or two hours will start again.
Although Yue promised to complete the Huaihe River on behalf of the punishment, after all, this involved dozens of boats, plus Gu Mingyi's people.
Although the punishment had already been arranged, she really had no bottom in her heart, so she had to repeatedly tell Lu Chongguang to be more careful, not to startle the snake, and to be sure to explore the situation in as much detail as possible.
After Lu Chongguang left, Yue was still not at ease in the end, and was thinking about the plan to entrust Lu Chongguang with torture, but suddenly a subordinate came to him.
"Girl, Mr. Chen invited you to come to his courtyard to talk about it, saying that there is something to discuss."
Mr. Chen?
Yue was a little stunned for a while, when did there be an additional Mr. Chen in this house?
After a while, he reacted suddenly, there was really a Mr. Chen living in this mansion.
But in addition to hiding outside that night and listening to the conversation between Chen Yuan and Xing clearly, she had never even met Chen Yuan and others, how did Chen Yuan know about her existence and why did he find her?
Yue hesitated for a moment, remembering the promise that Xing Zeng had made himself, and finally agreed.
