Chapter 277: Life and death are uncertain
Bai Qige's unexpected behavior made everyone stunned, until they heard something stirring the river and rattled before they reacted and rushed to the shore, only to see a dilapidated wooden boat swaying and floating on the river, and Bai Qige, who had just jumped down, was in the bow of the boat, in the arms of a man with blue eyes and light hair.
"I just said that I would be very accurate, and I always doubted my ability if I didn't give up." Ning Xi was drunk and let go of Bai Qige's smug face, and threw the wax pill that turned black into the surging river.
Seven years of breeding a Gu, it is difficult to buy a thousand gold, it was a treasure to save his life, but he gave it away at will. Su Buqi held the oars and glanced at the wax pills that swirled and sank to the bottom of the river, and raised his head to meet Bai Qige's gaze.
"I owe Ning Gongzi a life today, and I hope I have the opportunity to pay it back in the future." Throwing the crushed wax pill in his hand into the river, Bai Qige solemnly thanked Ning Xidrunk, and the latter's smile did not change, it was still as warm as jade, and it was as warm as jade.
"Treating a confidant as a dead person, let alone a useless bug. The white girl was serious. ”
Bugs that don't have any use in the house will be carefully protected with silver wire cages. Bai Qige didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that the Gu worm must not be an ordinary thing, otherwise Su Buqi would not have looked at Ning Xi drunk with that kind of regretful expression that wanted to say nothing. The more time she spent together, the more guilty she felt, and she couldn't count how many times Ning Xixi had helped her drunk, and how many gold and silver treasures he had spent for her, even if he was a wealthy businessman who knew how to run a business, such a large and unrequited expenditure was too extravagant, and all she could reciprocate was to drink his wine and receive his favor and care.
If one day she would rather be drunk and open her mouth, then no matter what the conditions are, she will not hesitate to agree.
The river was turbulent and there were boulders in the center, so Su Buqi did not dare to push the boat by the water potential, so he could only put up bamboo pulp and insert it in the stone cracks to move down the river a little bit, and the speed was quite slow. The difference of more than one person, and such a dangerous river, those who disguised themselves as An Lingjun would not jump down to find their own way no matter how stupid they were, Bai Qige sat on the bow of the boat and watched a group of ants on the hot pot and couldn't help laughing, not noticing that Ning Xidrunk behind her kept looking at her, silent as night.
The man pretending to be the chief general of Anling crouched on the edge of the ferry, staring and scolding, scolding and scolding, as if he remembered something, turned around and waved desperately to the back, Bai Qige was wondering if he still had any conspiracy, and panicked shouts suddenly sounded on the south riverbank.
"Jumping ship. Jump ship. Come on. ”
A palm-sized place, who else will there be besides the three of them and the fake puppet army. Peng and Ai, the two lieutenants, were waiting for an opportunity a mile away, and it was impossible for her to come over without her order, and it was the opposite of the southern riverbank...... Looking back with doubts, Bai Qige was suddenly at a loss.
The person who knelt on the shore and kept shouting desperately to them was actually the General Lu Feidu Lu of Anling Kingdom.
It's just a matter of meeting between the real and false generals, why should they jump ship. Subconsciously looking at the ferry port on the north bank, Bai Qige gasped, his face turned pale, on the ferry, a copper cannon had just been pushed to the edge, and the muzzle of the cannon was facing the wooden boat they were on.
Su Buqi and Ning Xidrunk also saw the copper cannon at the ferry, dropped the oar and picked up the bow and arrow at their feet, Su Buqi pulled the hard bow and pulled it tightly after his long arm, and actually set up three arrows at the same time, aiming at the person who lit the copper cannon, and at that moment he shouted to Bai Qige and Ning Xidrunk: "Jump." ”
didn't have time to say more, Ning Xidrunk picked up Bai Qige and rushed to the bow of the boat, and the moment he flew into the water, a loud bang sounded in his ears.
The river was very fast, but no matter how urgent it was, it was not as powerful as the brass cannon, and the water splashed high in the sky, and it remained in the air for a while before falling back into the river, and where the dilapidated wooden boat was originally floating, only a few pieces of broken wood and wisps of red remained.
"Don't give up,"
The cold night was not clear, and there was a heart-rending cry from the side hall of the prince's east palace, vaguely mixed with sobbing.
Hearing that the palace maid came in the middle of the night to report that Su Yan had been crying as if she was enchanted, Yi Chenjing couldn't care that the folds in her hand had not been approved, and she hurriedly broke into the side hall. On the bed, Su Yan described it as withered, covering his face and trembling slightly, and clear tears meandered and fell from his fingers.
"I'm having nightmares again." Waving his hand to send the person away, Yi Chenjing whispered softly.
Hearing Yi Chenjing's voice, Su Yan slowly raised her head, her bright eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and she was weak to speak: "Sister Qige...... Sister Qige still hasn't heard any news. ”
Yi Chenjing's expression froze for a moment, and then shook his head slightly.
After a farewell of more than two months, Bai Qige's news began to be interrupted half a month ago, Su Yan tossed and turned every night and found it difficult to sleep, and was finally awakened by a nightmare, although Yi Chenjing couldn't see much change, his anxiety and worry were buried in his heart and lingered. It was a ruthless battlefield, even if he asked someone to take care of her, who could protect her unscathed in the real battle.
No, it doesn't matter if she's hurt, as long as she's alive, alive.
Taking a deep breath to suppress his sorrowful thoughts, Yi Chenjing reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Su Yan's face: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, Qige will be fine, and General Xiao rushed to the south two days ago, with his help Qige, it is easy to calm down the chaos." Don't think too much, your body is not as good as before, it was caused by too much thought, go on like this, and wait for Qige to come back, how can you let me see her. Before she left, she told me to take care of you. ”
"It's hard enough for you to be busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, I have Yuche here, it's just that I have a nightmare and scare myself, it's good to be sober." Su Yan barely squeezed out a smile, dodged Yi Chenjing's warm fingers without a trace, and wiped away the tears himself, "Go to sleep, it's the third watch, don't you have to go to the Purple Cloud Palace tomorrow morning." It doesn't matter if you approve it one day early or one day late, don't be tired of yourself, Sister Qige knows that she is going to feel distressed. ”
Both of them use the absence as a comforter, which is really funny to think about. Yi Chenjing hesitated for a moment and nodded, seeing Su Yan lying down and tucking the quilt for her, he left lightly, and walked outside the hall, and the uncommon gentleness on Qingjun's face receded in a blink of an eye.
Su Yan had nightmares every night, and he was so anxious that he wanted to go crazy. According to his experience, once the army breaks off contact, eighty percent of them will have an accident.
"Your Highness, is Sister Su Yan having a nightmare?" Hearing the sound and turning around, the delicate and gentle young man stood in the night in a single coat, his face slightly sad.
Yi Chenjing nodded, and then sighed deeply: "After Su Rao's death, her body is not as good as day by day, and she always feels worried when she looks at it, and she is even more worried when Qige leaves, and she doesn't know when she will get better." ”
"Sister Su Yan is just overly sad and depressed, and her qi is stagnant, and it will be good for her to relax when Sister Bai comes back." After hesitating for a while, Fu Chu said in a low voice, "Sister Bai has an accident over there." Otherwise, the emperor would not have hurriedly sent General Xiao over. ”
"After being cut off for so long, my father must be very anxious. I had a private conversation with General Puppet before, and he also thought that the purpose of this expedition was not so simple, but whenever I asked my father about it, all I got was silence. Fu Chu, you have a flexible brain, have you noticed any clues. ”
Yi Chenjing knew everything about Fu Chu about the affairs of the harem in the former dynasty, and the young man who was from the mountains and was familiar with the strategy of governing the country was already careful and intelligent, and with Yi Chenjing's guidance, he grew into an important person who was enough to play the role of a strategist in just a few months. Fu Chu had already sorted out the context in combination with what had happened before and after, and Yi Chenjing asked him abruptly, and he could also answer fluently: "The envoy of Rouhu walked suddenly and unusually low-key, the queen kept saying that she wanted to help Sister Bai but did nothing, and the emperor, the decision to send troops to rebel was also unprepared." I always feel that these three parties are silent on the surface, but secretly they are wrestling, especially the emperor and the queen mother who suddenly got into the game, these two people will put forward diametrically opposed opinions and decisions whenever they have any problems, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they are vindictive. ”
"The Rouhu Kingdom took advantage of the fighting spirit of his father and the queen to stir up nonsense and constantly make some small tricks, making the front and harem restless." After a pause, Yi Chenjing frowned slightly, "At first, I thought that Ruan Yanluo was only retaliating against me for ignoring her and deliberately ruining my reputation, and it wasn't until General Xiang told me that the Rouhu Kingdom was in a state of being annexed by the new country, and I realized that all this was set up by the Rouhu State, and the people who secretly contacted them were probably not only the queen, but also,"
"The Five Princes." Without waiting for Yi Chenjing to finish speaking, Fu Chu lightly spit out the name of the person who had not been mentioned for a long time.
It is not easy for the queen to live in the deep palace for a long time to contact the countries of Monan, and it is even more difficult to cause trouble in the distant south.
Even though there are thousands of reluctances, Yi Chenjing still has to admit that in terms of mental scheming, he is far inferior to his brother Yi Chenxuan.
The moonlight is bright and bright, but the mood of the people under the moon is extremely dark, one tall and one short, the two men still remember those heartbreaking pasts, remember who Concubine Jing and Qiao Qingxu were victimized, the blood and tears, vividly.
In the long silence, Fu Chu sneezed inappropriately, and just wanted to persuade Yi Chenjing to go to rest earlier, when the door of the room behind him suddenly creaked open, and his thin body sat in a wheelchair, with a smile on his face that was purer and whiter than the moonlight.
"Li'er, why don't you sleep so late." Fu Chu hurriedly tore off the coat covering his body and draped it over Li'er's shoulders, wrapped his palms around his slightly cool little hands, and his tone was quite reproachful, "I told you that you can't blow the cold wind, the wind is hard and cold in the middle of the night, and you dare to run out at this time, aren't you afraid of catching a cold." ”
Li'er shook her head, and two blush rose on her fair face: "I can't sleep, I heard you sneeze outside, so I thought about sending a piece of clothing." This dress was sewn by Sister Jintuan, and I don't know if you wear it and it doesn't fit. ”
The slender little hand picked up the neatly folded clothes in his arms and shook them open, the crooked stitches were uneven, looking like a naughty child's work, but Fu Chu and Yi Chenjing were silent at the same time, Li'er's eyes couldn't see it, did she feel and sew it stitch by stitch. What ordinary people can complete in three or two days, how many times do she have to pierce her fingers, and how many times she has to sew and dismantle it repeatedly to complete. I'm afraid that this crooked stitch will consume her countless nights......
"You send Li'er to sleep, it's cold, spend more time with her."
What does it have to do with being cold and accompanying Li'er? Fu Chu and Li'er were inexplicable, even Yi Chenjing himself didn't know, he just wanted the young man who was still in his heart to come out of the shadows as soon as possible and accept the heart of a poor girl earlier.
May there be lovers in the world who will eventually become married, at that moment, he prayed so childishly and absurdly.
