Chapter 110: Covered with water
The straightforward and naked questioning is indifferent and merciless, like a little ice entering the water, stirring up ripples and making the heart lake lose its temperature.
Bai Qige never imagined that Yi Chenjing would say such unbearable words to her.
"You've never been drunk before, what the hell did you do last night to get so tired?" The fingers applied to the jaw exert more force, pinching the white skin and faintly reddening. Bai Qige's exhaustion and fatigue will always make Yi Chenjing feel distressed, but this time the situation is special, what is she busy with in Lingyun City, where she is unfamiliar with life, and she is so tired that she is so busy that she doesn't return all night? Unspeakable impulsiveness, Yi Chenjing forgot how anxious and regretful he had been all night, and all that was in his mind was the overwhelming smell of alcohol and the suspicion of Bai Qige's betrayal.
All night, all night she was not around, who made her so tired, and who made her suddenly alienated and so impetuous? I don't want to think about it, but I can't help but want to know the truth, so under the impulse of anger, there is the most vicious and hurtful questioning.
"Tell me, which man's bed did you climb on?"
Syllable.
There was a crisp sound, and there was silence for a moment.
The violently undulating chest told of unbearable anger, Bai Qige tilted his head and stared coldly at Yi Chenjing, who was half a head taller, his face turned from blue to red, and then from red to white, almost transparent and pale. The thin body was already unstable on its feet, and when he slapped it, Yi Chenjing stood still in place, but Bai Qige took a few steps back and slammed into the edge of the table, and the teapots, teacups, and neatly stacked drawings on the table all fell to the ground, and it was a mess.
Time passed quietly in the dead silence, and the pale lips squirmed for a long time, and finally a low voice was squeezed out from between the teeth.
"Yi Chenjing, it turns out that in your eyes, I am such a woman, as long as I am not by your side, I am entangled with other men, right?"
The anger was dispersed by his absurd remarks, Yi Chenjing was speechless, watching the color in those clear eyes fade rapidly, and his heart felt as if he had been cut deep and kept bleeding. The hoarse and bitter laughter sounded one after another, echoing in the vicissitudes of life in the room.
It was just unfounded speculation, a madness that led to being carried away by anger, but it was also undoubtedly the sharpest double-edged sword, completely cutting off the relationships he had painstakingly managed and maintaining, and causing the smallest trivial matter to evolve into the worst ending and difficult to end.
There was a grunt in his throat, but he couldn't get out of his name, and his hand hanging in the air fell down, unable to grasp anything in his palm.
It's no use crying over spilt milk..
In a daze, Yi Chenjing only thought of these four words.
As white as snow, as cold as ice, a figure with the smell of wine floated silently in front of him, standing at the door for a moment, Bai Qige turned his back to Yi Chenjing, stubbornly refusing to look back.
"Last night I slept alone in the Chengdong Inn - before sending out the army, if you have something to do, call someone there to find me."
No one answered, no one expected to answer, one of the steps was deep and shallow and departed, and one fell into a chair like a wooden man, who was desperate for whom to survive a few days ago, who was angry for whom to rush for the crown, all turned into nothingness, and vanished like a phantom.
It is easy to lose the affection that is easily obtained, and as long as there is a small rift, countless suspicions and jealousies will spread wildly, swallowing the whole world.
Bai Qige didn't stop when passing by Ning Xidrunk's room, the reason for this incident was her frequent contact with Ning Xidrunk, she wasn't worried that it would make Yi Chenjing misunderstand again, anyway, the relationship between the two has been broken, what does it matter if there are a few more misunderstandings? I'm afraid that he will be angry with innocent people and hurt Ning Xidrunk as the object of venting, so that she will have a troubled conscience for the rest of her life.
Out of the inn all the way to the east, the Chengdong Inn, which had slept all night last night, was just a few streets behind.
Bai Qige still remembers drinking with Ning Xi drunk in the restaurant, but he has no impression of how he got to the inn, the shopkeeper said that it was a young man with blue eyes and light hair who sent her, thinking that Ning Xi must be drunk, as for why he didn't send her back to Yi Chenjing but let her sleep here alone, it is not difficult to understand - Ning Xidrunk knows the source of the conflict between her and Yi Chenjing, how could he not think of what the consequences would be if he sent Bai Qige back? It is nothing more than the more irritated and suspicious General Yaoguo, who stirs up the already muddy waters even more chaotically.
Luo Tuo's free and easy personality has such a delicate mind, and it is rare to be a good man who would rather be drunk, and because of this, Bai Qige would rather conceal the fact that they drank together yesterday and fell drunk than would rather be drunk and bear the trumped-up charge, after all, he was out of a good heart.
In the next few days, Bai Qige lived in the Chengdong Inn, and Yi Chenjing did not send anyone to look for her, but occasionally sent someone to send some silver to the shopkeeper, and quietly ordered Bai Qige to choose the best for everything to eat and drink. Ning Xi was drunk for two days and didn't see Bai Qige appear before he learned from Xiao Baishan that Bai Qige had moved to another inn, considering that he would also move over at this time would make Yi Chenjing even more suspicious, so he had no choice but to hand Bai Qige over to his father-in-law who lived in the same inn to take care of-if that was also taken care of.
Ning Xi's drunken adoptive father Feng Wujiang is also a person with beautiful blue eyes, but compared with Su Jinyan and Ning Xi's drunkenness, Feng Wujiang, who is over half a hundred years old, is obviously not so amazing, and his wrinkled face always looks bitter and hateful, which makes Bai Qige wonder if Feng Wujiang's smile was given to his adopted son, so he formed a wooden face that has not been seen in a hundred years.
The wooden face is not terrible, what is terrible is Feng Wujiang's words and deeds, Ning Xi's drunkenness was intended to let him take care of Bai Qige's safety, who would have thought that this old man who was unsmiling would deliberately move next door to Bai Qige, and as soon as he opened the door every morning, the first thing Bai Qige saw must be the drooping green eyes, which were as weird as owls.
If you continue like this, it won't be long before you go insane, right? Bai Qige sat alone in the deserted room several times and smiled bitterly, the indignation gradually disappeared, but the loss and bitterness intensified.
Life suddenly became dull and boring, there were not a lot of things to think about, there was no orderly atmosphere in the army, all day was eating, sleeping, looking out the window in a daze, and life with the army seemed to become quite distant all of a sudden. Sometimes at dinner in the lobby of the inn, I would hear the people talk about the battle situation, today the remote army had fought with the sentry of the Holo River in the north of the city, and tomorrow a few more soldiers defending the city were attacked and wounded, and the news that should have been closely related to her was suddenly out of reach, until one evening the messenger came panting and came running to convey an extremely short sentence.
"Continue to march north tomorrow, and the north gate of the city will converge."
No greetings, a solid commanding tone.
That's fine, Bai Qige laughed at himself, didn't he tell him at the beginning, if you don't have the heart, I will leave. Since he has no intention of that fragile relationship, why should he be stubborn? Just be a chess piece quietly under his command, plan for him, dominate Zhongzhou, and when the oath is fulfilled, she will put away her bags and return to Zhaoguo, where there is still her family waiting for her.
doesn't fight, doesn't grab, and is at peace with what happens, and it seems that the indifference of being drunk has also infected her.
At midnight the next day, in the north of Lingyun City, 200,000 troops were dressed in armor and guns, ready to go. Yi Chenjing was the main general, so he naturally rode his horse in the center of the army, and Bai Qige chose to stay away from the end of the army, still dressed as a man and mixed with the food trucks and wounded soldiers. Rather than drunk to see off, the warm and chic smile remains unchanged, clean and peaceful.
"The battlefield is ruthless, be careful in everything."
"With the sword sent by Ning Gongzi, this life is not so easy to be taken away." patting the slightly bulging armor, Bai Qige replied with a smile to Yining, "When the army triumphs, Qige will definitely accompany you to drink 3,000 cups, and you will not return if you are not drunk." ”
"Don't get drunk anymore, I really can't stand the disdainful look of the shopkeeper when I send you to the inn, it's better for me to get drunk and you come and send me."
The hearty laughter made the old and weak soldiers around him also infected, looking forward to looking to the far north, as if victory was a foregone conclusion, beckoning.
But who could have predicted the cruelty of war?
In front of the city gate, the two eyes on the city wall were deep, the wrinkled face was changed from rigid and numb, and the shrewd eyes looked thousands of miles away. Feng Wujiang stood at the head of the city with his hands in his hands, and behind him was a man of different races with the same eyes but much younger, and both of them invariably turned their eyes to Bai Qige.
"I haven't seen anything special about that woman for many days, why do the five princes of Da Yao hate her to the bone and have to kill her? If the old man remembers correctly, he has already eliminated more than twenty killers for them since the Yao Army entered Lingyun City. ”
"Twenty-three." The young man said lightly, "The deputy general surnamed Qi doesn't count, it was killed by their own people." ”
The long beard hanging down to his chest was mixed with black and white, Feng Wujiang twisted his beard and groaned slightly, and his gaze moved from Bai Qige to the center of the army farther away: "Prince Da Yao's status is shaky, the fifth prince and the seventh prince have become the strongest forces to seize the throne, according to the old man's thoughts, he should be close to the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan, after all, he is the most favored prince under the emperor's knees." ”
The young man lowered his head, and his fingertips gently stroked the half of the jade pendant hanging from the red thread on his waist, and the two carved characters of Jinyan were clearly visible.
"The fifth prince is unkind, insidious and vicious, even if we help him take the throne, we won't get any benefits, and he may be bitten back and find a chance to clean it up."
Wandering around the city with a faint sigh, Feng Wujiang turned sideways, his eyes were a little sad: "You hate the five princes of Da Yao, I understand, if it wasn't for him back then, your Su family would not have been ruined." But now is not the time to be emotional, he refuses to do what I said, he refuses to do what I say, do you want to see him go on in chaos for the rest of his life? There are many things that I told you without telling Xidrunk, just so that you can make a choice for him, such as the woman, if I told Xidrunk that I put sweat medicine in the wine she drank, that kid would have to come to me to make trouble. ”
A hint of gloom flashed on the young face, and there was no lack of sympathy when he looked at Ning Xi, who was drunk and waved goodbye to Bai Qige under the city.
The expression of wanting to speak could not escape Feng Wujiang's keen gaze, the old man snorted coldly, and said in a low voice: "Stinky boy, when did you learn to hide it?" Say, is there any movement on the side of the five princes? ”
"Can't you escape my father's eyes?" A helpless smile appeared on his face with a rare change in expression, and his delicate face suddenly appeared, "Yi Chenxuan took Bai Haoyu away without saying a word, and I don't know where to go, I wonder if he came here with Bai Haoyu." ”
"Even you don't know the details?"
"I don't know at all - my father-in-law, the identity of the male pet and confidant has begun to be suspected by Yi Chenxuan, do you want to continue?"
Feng Wujiang rolled up his beard with his fingers, and his voice was cruel: "If you want to take revenge, you have to endure what ordinary people can't bear, even if you die in his hands, you must not expose our identity!" ”
