Chapter 176: Love Has to Be Done (1)
With the weapon in hand, Wei Nong was fearless, but faintly hoped that he could be caught by Yunchen and see how he would react. She covered for Yingluo, and the two fought and retreated, seeing that Yingluo was about to jump out of the encirclement, but at this time, she heard a cold shout suddenly came: "Stop!" ”
Immediately after, Yunchen wore a white robe and walked out of the shadows of the house, his face was very ugly.
Wei Nong looked at him, couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, his hands clenched into fists, but his arms trembled incessantly. She seemed to have completely forgotten the danger at this moment, forgetting that she and Yingluo were under siege.
Yunchen also kept looking at her, his eyes gradually became cold, as if he had nowhere to vent his huge anger, and the green tendons on his forehead were already revealed.
Seeing this, Wei Nong was very weak-hearted, and wanted to tear off the face towel to report his identity. But just when her hand touched her upper cheek, Yunchen had already spoken before her: "The foreign country has infiltrated the Li capital, in a vain attempt to rescue the national thief Chun Yu, immediately arrest these two people, and hand them over to Dali Temple for trial!" ”
Wait a minute! What exotic work? What to rescue the national thief? Wei Nong was immediately stunned, looked at Yingluo, and saw that she was also staring at a pair of big eyes, confused and shocked. The two glanced at each other, and immediately understood that they had fallen into a trap, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Hey! Yunchen, we are ......" Yingluo pulled off her scarf and wanted to speak, but the guards grabbed her arm, cut it behind her back and couldn't move, and the Emei thorn on her hand was also taken away.
Wei Nong looked at Yunchen in a daze, and when he wanted to open his mouth to explain, the latter seemed to sense something, and immediately turned around and walked back into the house, and said lightly: "Doctor Chuan." ”
Only then did Wei Nong remember that his arm was stabbed by the Shocking Sword, and his own sword was also taken away by him. But she didn't understand what he meant, which one was he singing? How did she and Yingluo become enemy countries?!
*****
An hour later, Wei Nong and Yingluo were imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple. The two scars on Yingluo's back were not too serious, and she brought her own wound medicine, and after Weinong gave her the medicine, the bleeding had stopped. But after all, she was one against ten, and she was injured again, and she fell asleep at the moment when her strength was exhausted.
Wei Nong really admires her, she can still fall asleep and sleep in a cell under such circumstances.
And Wei Nong himself fell into ecstasy, apprehension, confusion, panic and other emotions, and his heart was extremely chaotic.
The two notes taken down from the lotus lantern, as well as Yunchen's attitude when he saw the Thrilling Sword, were too obvious! But why did he hand them over to Dali Temple? Say they're fine? Which country's fine work? Jiang Guo? Or Yanguo?
If he is really Chu Li, then his sister is Queen Jiang, will he deal with Jiang Guo? No! He will only deal with Yan Guo's fine work!
Wei Nong thought of his Yanren identity again, and there was a faint uneasy emotion in his heart, and he always felt that he and Yingluo were caught in a huge conspiracy.
In the dark, it seems that an invisible hand is controlling all this. Not providential, but man-made.
Wei Nong was pondering who this person was, and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard in the prison, like a talisman in the silence of the night, which made people feel frightened.
Under the dim candlelight, the figure of the man approached closer and closer, stood in front of the cell door, and shouted urgently: "Slightly thick? ”
It's Qi Zhan! Wei Nong immediately stood up.
"Squeak" The cell door opened, and Qi Zhan personally took the candlestick from the guards, waved it back and left, and walked into the cell alone. He first investigated Yingluo's injuries and gave her good medicine before he could bother to ask about everything that happened tonight.
"What's going on? Why did you go and come back? Qi Zhan asked anxiously.
Wei Nong didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that I have been arrested?" What Yunchen told you? ”
Qi Zhan was silent for a moment: "He didn't say it directly, he only sent someone to send a message over, saying that I would come to the prison of Dali Temple to have a look and interrogate the prisoner." ”
Hearing this, Wei Nong's heart was overjoyed, and he suppressed his joy when he turned his mind, and pretended to sigh: "Is he selling favors to you?" ”
Qi Zhan didn't have the heart to think about this now, so he asked again in a hurry: "Why are you back again?" Still exploring Yunfu at night? Could it be that Yunchen ...... him?"
"I just wanted to be sure of something." Slightly thick answered vaguely.
Qi Zhan was anxious when he heard this: "What else can you do besides determining his identity?" ”
Wei Nong didn't say anything, she was really thinking about something in her heart, she turned to look at Yingluo who was sleeping in the corner, and said first: "There are some things that Yingluo should not hear, you send her out first!" ”
"The consequences of tonight's incident are too serious, even I can't release people at will." Qi Zhan explained: "But don't worry, she has fallen asleep after taking the injury medicine I gave. We speak, and she won't hear. ”
"That's good." Wei Nong turned around again, with no expression on his face.
Seeing that she was so calm, Qi Zhan was even more anxious for her: "Do you know how big a deal it is tonight?" If you regard me as a friend, why do you want to act alone from me? ”
"And do you consider me a friend?" Asked faintly, his bright eyes reflected the flickering candle flame, like two crystal clear gems, as if he could see through anyone's dirty thoughts.
Qi Zhan couldn't help but be stunned: "What do you mean at this time?" ”
"It's not interesting." Wei Nong smiled faintly: "I just think that everything is too much of a coincidence." You appeared in Fallen Leaf City, deliberately approached me, and invited me to come to Ningguo, and then I met Yunchen, and he looked like Chu Li......"
Also, Yunchen and Qi Zhan are hostile now, and Chu Li also injured Qi Zhan seven years ago......
Hearing Wei Nong's words, Qi Zhan's face really changed a little: "What are you suspecting?" Didn't you know the inside story about my approach to you in Fallen Leaf City? I'll admit that I'm trying to borrow your guards...... But I already recognized you at the time, and I wouldn't hurt you at all. ”
"I know you won't hurt me. And along the way, you have taken good care of me. Wei Nong raised his face, his clear gaze fell on Qi Zhan's face, and he asked slowly: "If you really have to be my friend, you can tell me, why did you let me come to Lidu?" Is it just to let Jian Feng protect you? ”
She had such eyes, questioning, persistent, suspicious, and transparent, that Qi Zhan couldn't help but close his eyes, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore: "I'm asking you to verify Yunchen's identity." ”
And so it was! Wei Nong smiled softly: "So on the day you came to Lidu, you deliberately mentioned Yunchen in front of me?" Even if I didn't meet him by chance, you would have created an opportunity for me to meet him, wouldn't you? You helped me get rid of Jian Feng, also because I was afraid that he would ruin your plan? ”
Qi Zhan lowered his eyes, did not answer, and could not answer.
"You've seen Yunchen a long time ago, haven't you? You approached me in Fallen Leaf City, of course, to avoid pursuit, but you also said that the killer was sent by Wei Hou, and Wei Hou and Yun Chen were extremely close. Wei Nong pierced him sharply: "Seven years ago, you stole a sword in the palace of the king of Chu, and you also fought with Chu Li. You are more suspicious of Yunchen's identity than anyone else, and you happened to meet me, so you will plan to invite me to Ningguo, one is to use me to escape the pursuit, and the other is to use me to find out who Yunchen is? ”
Qi Zhan still pursed his lips and was silent, his cold face looked extremely deep under the candlelight.
"Actually, you don't trust Lord Shen's judgment either, do you? You keep saying that, but it's just to pique my curiosity and let me go and explore Yunchen. The fire in Yunfu moved next door to us, and you also manipulated it, right? Wei Nong had a smile on his face, and he asked sharply again and again.
"Because of this, you don't want to believe me anymore? Let you go on an adventure behind my back? Qi Zhan seemed to hold back a certain emotion, and asked for a while.
Hearing this, his slightly heroic eyebrows narrowed slightly, and he didn't know whether it was a sneer or sarcasm: "Today's people are really interesting, only he can bear people, not others." Qi Zhan, ask yourself, since we met, aren't you using me every time? Have I ever taken advantage of you? It's just a little concealment, and you think I can't stand you? And how much do you have to deal with me? Do you want us to liquidate it? ”
In the face of these sharp questions, Qi Zhan didn't know how to reply, only a wry smile. Oh, yes! Why is he angry? Why the irritation? Who was he to rebuke her? She has never failed him, he is responsible for her!
Seven years ago in the palace of the king of Chu, he used her to escape; Half a year ago in Fallen Leaf City, he used her to evade pursuit; Now that he has arrived in Lidu, he has used her to track down Yunchen's identity.
He had ill intentions towards her from the beginning. But why, at the moment of being exposed, his heart was so painful? Why, he wants to keep it hidden for a long time? So I've been covering up with some small favors to make up for it, and I don't want her to find out so unbearable?
"No wonder you've been asking me if I see you as a friend." Wei Nong learned his signature posture, clasped his arms and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Qi Zhan, is this interesting?" That's how you treat your friends? In the name of exploitation? ”
"No, it's not," Qi Zhan wanted to open his mouth to explain, "I never wanted to hurt you, and I really wanted to help you." I admit to taking advantage of you, but only if it doesn't cause you any harm, otherwise, I would never do it. ”
"Exploitation is utilization, there is not so much explanation." Wei Nong's expression became very cold: "If you treat me as a friend, you will speak directly, not calculate." ”
At this moment, the slightly thick expression was so familiar, just like what he had seen when he assassinated Nie Xingyi in the Yan King Palace the year before, she was so cold and disdainful. He had thought that the incident would happen to the east window, and he thought that he would be exposed, but he still couldn't accept her treating him so coldly.
Why? He inexplicably wants to keep her and get close? They obviously hadn't seen each other a few times, hadn't interacted much, and hadn't had a deep understanding of each other, but he always felt that he had known her for a long time.
He had been deluding himself into believing that if he could keep it from him, they would be able to become confidants. He didn't even mind the strange ambiguity, so he always hinted at her and teased her as if he didn't have it, but unfortunately he never got a response.
