Chapter 183: Exploitation
Feng Jingning twisted his eyebrows, "Are you saying that the person who attacked you was Gu Xi, not Yan Rongzhi?" ”
"That's right, I just received a text message from the secret guard at that time, and it was the news of the civil unrest in Wei." The dragon family frowned, and said in a low but firm voice, "The dark guard also told me that he has not been able to get close to me for more than a year. Someone was secretly hindering them, and this person was Gu Xi. ”
"How did the Dark Guard get this message to you that time?" Feng Jingning was still nibbling on the steamed bun and thought carefully.
"It was Yan Rongzhi and General Mu Da who teamed up to attract Gu Xi's attention, and finally handed the news to me. In order not to arouse Gu Xi's suspicion, I followed him until I tried to return to the Wei Kingdom, but he was still very generous in disguise, and I couldn't see his hypocrisy at all. "The dragon's plan is step-by-step.
Feng Jingning stopped what he was doing, turned his face to stare at the river with a pair of narrow eyes, and said slowly: "Then why did Yan Rongzhi lock you in the dungeon?" ”
Long Yan's words still rang in his ears, "The power in Gu Xi's hands is not as simple as you and I see on the surface, when I encountered the attack, I was poisoned in my body, and Yan Rongzhen had no choice but to place me in the dungeon to hide people's eyes. Because of Gu Xi, I have been wary of him, and I don't trust him. Later, the poison on my body was really cured, but the internal strength could not be recovered, so you came. ”
"Then why did he send men after us all the way?" Feng Jingning couldn't help but have doubts.
The river breeze slowly blew each other's clothes and hair, and the dragon family and Feng Jingning looked at each other. She saw doubts and deep scruples in his eyes.
"Jing Ning, how do you conclude that those people are sent by Yan Rongzhu, not Gu Xi?" The dragon turned his head and asked rhetorically.
"And how do you decide?" Feng Jingning looked at her and smiled suspiciously.
The dragon said solemnly: "If Yan Rong has the intention to imprison me, how can we leave so easily when we are in that mountain villa?" Isn't it immediately after we leave? Now that we are about to leave Yuguo, Gu Xi appeared in this place, don't you think this timing is too coincidental, too strange? ”
"And who was the one who followed us yesterday? Why did they attack Gu Xi? Feng Jingning knocked on the railing and brushed his thoughts.
"Gu Xibu's bureau." The dragon's eyes were dark, and he whispered, "Otherwise, how could he not have taken the lives of those people in one fell swoop last night?" And after those people fled, he did not pursue them.
"Perhaps, he doesn't think it's necessary?" Feng Jingning said casually.
The dragon smiled bitterly and shook his head at him.
"Maybe he thinks it's more important to stay and protect you?" Feng Jingning's voice was not impatient or impatient, like ice jade striking each other, clear and beautiful.
"Maybe he's staying and watching me?" Long Yan retorted: "If those people are Yan Rongzhi's people, there is no point in assassinating them in such a grand manner? ”
"What if it's for Gu Xi?" Feng Jingning's voice changed, and there was a little solemnity.
"Bitter Meat Trick." Long Xuan said mercilessly: "This play seems simple and clumsy, but with his disguise and incorruptible tongue, let us continue to believe in him and shake our suspicions about him." If an ambush is arranged, we have to suspect that it was his intentions, but if these people had followed us all the way, wouldn't it have made people even more suspicious? ”
Feng Jingning was a little shaken by his previous thoughts, he looked at Long Yan again, puzzled, "Why do you have such deep doubts about him now?" ”
Long Yan turned his eyes to look at the snow-white locust flowers floating on the river, and said softly: "He is planning step by step like this, not for ambition, but for what?" When I was in Moguo, he had been watching my every move from a distance, and he was the one he met in the theater garden; The man he met on the mountain wall of Zizhu Slope was him; The person who appeared in Qinghui Yuan was also him, if he was really full of affection for me as he said, how could he look at me so calmly and feel sad for him again and again? Seeing that I have been living in your other courtyard and not being indifferent? ”
Feng Jingning caught the meaning of her words, "Are you suspicious, all the chaos in the desert country is related to Gu Xi?" You inadvertently became acquainted with me, and instead of hindering him, he took advantage of your friendship with me by watching from the sidelines? ”
The dragon's eyes blinked slightly, and a few water droplets were stained with long eyelashes, and her eyes were also like black beads moistened with water, losing their original brilliance, and they were full of gloom and sadness. Her hands gripped her palms fiercely, her nails scratched her skin, the back of her hand was bruised, her lips were tightly pursed, and she stopped talking.
Feng Jingning saw tears in her eyes, but stubbornly didn't let them flow. Tenderness rose in his heart and whispered, "No matter what decision you make, I choose to respect your decision." You don't have to embarrass yourself and think about things that are not satisfactory. ”
"Jingning, I want to return to Ul as soon as possible." The dragon family looked at him with eyes that were close to pleading, and said resolutely.
"You don't need to be polite to me. I have regarded you as a dear friend in my heart, and now that you are in danger, how can I sit idly by? Feng Jingning restrained her smile, said with a straight face, let go and patted her shoulder gently, "Your internal strength, get rid of Gu Xi, and return to the Wei Kingdom, I will figure out all these things." ”
Long Yi has finally seen Feng Jingning's wrist along the way, and now she can cause a dispute between him and Gu Yi, which is exactly her purpose. She smiled bitterly at him with a happy face, lowered her eyes and said, "Jing Ning, thank you." If I have any willful places in the past, please be more tolerant. ”
Feng Jingning smiled brightly, like a pearl fainting, the night moon was clear, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of free and easy style, and he said: "You are quite willful, but I can also tolerate it." ”
In this sentence, if he was facing Yun Yanzheng, she would definitely be moved, but he was facing Long Yan at the moment, the empress of Yu Kingdom. In her eyes, Feng Jingning is too emotional, too indifferent and quiet, but lacks the courage and toughness of those who have achieved great things.
There was a hint of sarcasm and sneer in her heart.
But it is precisely because of such a person that it is suitable for her use. And she involuntarily remembered the young man who was leisurely sipping tea in the inn lobby, such a clear eye, as if he understood everything, that feeling made her retreat, and her intuition in the face of crisis made her avoid it.
She has never met such a person, even if it is Yan Rongzhen, she dares to face his thoughts, and his plans are more or less in her guesses. But Gu Xi, she couldn't see his desires, even if he kept talking about the love for Yun Yanzheng, but there was a feeling of uncertainty in her heart.
This person not only can't see the bottom, but also can't see through it.
When they came back from outside, Gu Xi was still sitting in the lobby eating breakfast slowly, and it seemed that he had never left.
He looked up from the window, and now the daylight was already white, shining on the people outside the inn, as if gilded with a layer of golden light. Outside the window, there were more people buying and selling on the street, and when he turned his eyes to look over, he still saw the woman at first sight, the woman he was happy with in his heart.
She was still dressed in the same snow-colored clothes as him, and her light clothes fluttered in the wind. The black hair was delicate as silk, pitch black as ink, and it was simply tied up in a weeping moon bun, which was decorated with a few white feathers and silver hairpins. These clothes, these silver hairpins, are simple and neat, but the clothes are the best moon silk clothes under Mu Yunsheng, there is no wind and automatic, the wind and snow flow between walks, and the attitude is elegant and noble; The silver hairpin comes from the craftsmanship of the Smoke Pavilion, the pattern on it is made of ingenuity, elegant and beautiful, and the white feathers float and sink when fluttering, which looks heroic and dignified.
Feng Jingning is really a very knowledgeable person, just look at the clothes and accessories he prepared for her, all of them are careful and thoughtful, and they completely reveal Yun Yanzheng's unique temperament. From this, it can also be seen how sincere and delicate his thoughts about Yun Yanzheng are, and he knows her love very clearly.
At this moment, Yun Yanzheng had a smile on his face, and he was turning his head sideways to say something to Feng Jingning. The two looked at each other and smiled, the smile on each other's lips, and the agility in their eyes, all complemented each other and became interesting to each other.
Feng Jingning's green gauze is light and ethereal, lining his slender figure, chic gait, fluttering sleeves, the whole person is like a dashing green bamboo, inexplicably appearing to be sprinkled freely. His demeanor is outstanding, his face is even more outstanding and dazzling, and he walks hand in hand with Yun Yanzheng, the two of them seem to be so perfectly matched, made in heaven, they occupy the style of the whole street so easily, so that others applaud and admire.
Gu Xi's gaze never left Yun Yanzheng from beginning to end, he looked at her so unscrupulously. From the hair to the boots on her feet, and from the clothes to her face, it is as if she is watching a masterpiece made by heaven and earth; It seems to be appreciating a priceless famous painting.
The dragon wanted to ignore his gaze, but his gaze was impossible to ignore.
His gaze is happy, affectionate, longing, clear, and innocent, which makes people feel no evil thoughts and resentment. The moment she made eye contact with him, Gu Xi smiled at her, and the meaning in this smile was shocking, but after thinking about it, she couldn't notice anything, only the soul-stirring smile.
After a chill in the dragon's heart, he slowly calmed down, and couldn't help but become suspicious again. It was as if she had figured out something, but in the end she had found nothing.
She finally understood why Yun Yanzheng was obsessed with such a mysterious young man. He is indeed like a god like a ghost, like a demon like a charm, which is unguardable.
She followed Feng Jingning through the lobby of the inn very quickly, and entered the courtyard where Feng Jingning was. After Jingbai and the others left, the inn became much quieter and much empty. Feng Jingning and Gu Xi's secret guards were not in the inn, and now there were only three of them left who could be seen.
A few clumps of bamboo have been planted in this courtyard, and now the jade is flowing in the summer, and there is a bit of a quiet shadow in the swaying. There are also a few plants planted on the side, and the dark fragrance in the snow-white petals is faintly floating.
No matter how quiet and remote the town is, no matter how boring the place, Feng Jingning can make it interesting.
The figures of the dark guards rose and fell on the wall, and all kinds of musical instruments were sent into the courtyard in an endless stream. The two of them talked about playing while drinking with the faint fragrance of bamboo, flowers, and wine. In the small courtyard, a sunshade scaffolding was erected, a white veil was hung, and the summer breeze was blowing, and the small pavilion was full of silk music and orchestral strings.
So it is with the day, and so with the night.
Laughter overflowed the door.
