Chapter 160 Street Encounters
At night in Beijing, the starlight and light shadows reflect each other brilliantly.
The street night market is bustling, more than ten years of prosperity, here, you can no longer see the dilapidated desolation in the troubled times.
Above the night market, the lights are everywhere, the lights are colorful, the pedestrians come and go, and the laughter is noisy.
It's just that in this piece of bright lights and laughter, the mood of the guards in the big house is not very good.
His Majesty the Emperor, who was carefully guarded by them, either bright or dark, had a very gloomy and ugly face.
The emperor rushed to the Guogong Mansion and stayed for more than an hour, watching the night fall, and then came out depressed.
Feng Changqing and Shi Jingyuan, who can speak in front of the emperor, are not there, seeing that the emperor's face is not good, at this time, who dares to provoke him, everyone has to wait beside him without humming.
Yan Rin almost reluctantly believed in the horse and traveled to the frontier, walking arbitrarily on the avenue of Yanjing. Fortunately, there were still many fewer pedestrians at night than during the day, and he rode his horse through the street through the city in such a trance that he didn't hit a few people.
There was so much bustle, so much prosperity, so many joys, and so many laughs in front of him, but in his eyes, he was indifferent like flowing water, unable to leave a trace in his heart.
This is his country, his capital, his people, his deeds, and yet, looking at all this prosperity, he does not have the slightest sense of accomplishment.
After painstakingly planning a plan for more than a year, I thought that I would be able to make a good plan to expand my territory and establish martial arts, and finally. It's just that, it's just ......
Yan Rin gritted her teeth and clenched the reins, feeling a tingling pain in her palms and heart.
What made him sad in the end was not the cold water poured on his head, not the disappointment after full of hope, but the ...... It's a reservation of grace.
In the end, Rong Qian did not give him a convincing reason to prove Rong Qian's own judgment.
He believes that Rong Qian's eyesight. Rong Qian's decision, he believes even more that everything Rong Qian does must be for his good and for the good of Dayan......
But why can't you tell him, why......
Rong Qian was unreasonably concerned about everything in the Chu State. Unreasonably clear, unreasonably understood...... Here's why!
Rong Qian's final reply was that he was personally very interested in the two opponents, Qin Xufei and Fang Qingchen, so he had carefully studied everything about them.
Yan Rin gritted his teeth fiercely.
Rongxiang, have you forgotten, I am a disciple you taught. I've grown up, and I've been in charge of the court for more than three years. I have faced countless duplicity, countless treacherous plots. I have never been deceived by my courtiers, and I can discern the final purpose of the other party in any impassioned words of allegiance.
Appearance. Do you really, think, such reasons can convince me?
Or maybe you know I won't believe it. But he still won't tell me the real reason.
A faint pain rose in my heart. In fact, he had long known that Rong Qian had reservations about him in many places.
Regarding the past events over the years, it involves the private relationship between Feng Changqing and An Wuji and Rong Qian. Although Rong Qian's performance since the reunion seems to be seamless, Yan Rin faintly knows in her heart that she is afraid that Rong Qian will have something to hide.
Even when Shi Jingyuan was tracking down all the details afterwards, he vaguely found that some of An Wuji's actions were slightly suspicious, and guessed that he might have used the secret agent power given to him by Yan Rin to leak information about Yan Rin to Rong Qian in private.
In any case, such a thing is a great taboo for the king. Anyone involved in this kind of suspicion is basically willing to kill the wrong person rather than let it go.
However, Yan Rin's last instruction to Shi Jingyuan was that there was no need to investigate the details of An Wuji's actions.
He had misunderstood that man once, and regretted it for the rest of his life, so he would never allow himself to make the same mistake again.
He believes in Rong Qian, believes in him, will never hurt himself, believes in him, even if he secretly investigates everything about himself, it is to protect and help himself. Even if I am very unhappy about this, I firmly do not want to pursue it and do not want to care. If Rong Qian must not want him to know, then he will not go too far to explore, this is his respect for Rong Qian.
However, this time the matter of sending troops to the Qin State was too much to do. The act of the soldiers, the major affairs of the country, in this kind of matter, Rong Qian still refuses to confess like this, which makes Yan Rin feel both painful and embarrassed.
In terms of personal feelings, even if he knows that there is another inside story, Yan Rin still will not doubt Rong Qian's judgment and sincerity, when it comes to his own private affairs and private affairs, Rong Qian appropriately conceals it, he can forbear, accept, tolerate, and not care, but the matter is related to the country, he must not make trade-offs based on personal feelings alone.
Although the question of whether to send troops to the Qin State has not been officially disclosed, in countless discussions with henchmen, the basic national policy has already been decided, and the relevant preparations have already been carried out, and so many manpower and material resources have been invested, how can it be stopped without sufficient reasons?
In private, he had already summoned several important commanders several times and made enough statements and admonitions, and now to stop all this, not only he can't get over it in his own heart, but he is afraid that he can't say anything to those heavy generals in the army.
As soon as she thought of this, Yan Rin's heart burned like a blazing fire, and she couldn't help but complain a little faintly about Rong Qian. Appearance, why, why? I've begged you like that, and you still can't make it clear to me. I...... Can't you believe it?
Thinking of Rong Qian's prevarication, thinking of his excited inquiry, thinking of finally spreading out all his embarrassments and all his sufferings, just asking Rong Qian to give him an understanding, so that he could willingly end all this planning, but Rong Qian always just bit it to death, simply interested in Qin Xufei and Fang Qingchen and studied all this, and in the end, he could only break up unhappily, Yan Rin felt uncomfortable in his heart.
It would have been good, everything was so easy and happy.
They sat together, eating the same fruit, talking to their hearts, reminiscing about the times that had passed, and had never been so harmonious and natural since their reunion, but ......
Yan Rin's chest was depressed.
Lechang's advice. It gave him the courage and strength to dare to try to face it, to dare to say what he wanted to say. He had never worked so hard, so desperately to express his heart, so hard to overcome all the obstacles in his heart.
However, the man heard, smiled, seemed to accept, understood. In the end, he still didn't give him a word of truth!
Yan Rin closed her eyes and felt a little out of breath.
He has always known that in his heart, the most important person is Rong Qian, the person he misses the most is Rong Qian, and the person who is most disappointed is Rong Qian. However, in Rong Qian's heart, who is he Yan Rin?
It was the disciple he taught, the child he brought up, a foolish guy who was willful and did wrong things.
Of course, he also cherishes him, likes him, and is willing to protect him. And never really resented him.
But no, that's all?
Nearly three years of separation, nearly three years of missing. For nearly three years, the torture of gnawing his soul day and night, the person who has always been inside and outside the capital, and who has always been near him, has it always been like that. Haruka looked at him with the right amount of care, but only watching.
Since we met.
How many gaffes, how many helplessness, how much panic, how many ridiculous behaviors, in retrospect, this is not like what the wise and martial Emperor Dayan would do and say.
And that person always seems to be like that, smiling softly, accommodating, and accepting.
If you don't see each other, you hide in the dark and gaze quietly, and when you meet, you don't necessarily have much excitement. Whether he is the position of the prince of the country, or whether he can't return to the court, he has never cared.
There is no difference between seeing and not seeing. Whether he is compensated or not, whether he is still suspicious, makes no difference to him.
All the time, he has never been excited, never lost his temper, never refused.
Yan Rin's face turned white little by little.
Rongxiang, you are the most important person in my heart, but what am I doing to you? What I have done for you is meaningless in your eyes, and how different is it from me and other people in your eyes?
He looked up and looked up at the sky.
The stars and moon are lonely, the sky is vast, and no one will answer his silent cry. But there was a very soft and beautiful call in his ears: "Childe." ”
Yan Rin was still looking at the sky in silence, not knowing that the voice was calling to herself.
The soft voice was a little louder: "Childe." ”
At the same time, the guards around Yan Rin also called in time: "Young Master......"
Yan Rin came back to his senses at this time, and turned his head to look, but it was a carriage with a brocade tent tightly covered by the side of him, and the small curtain on one side of the carriage was lifted, revealing half of his face that was more delicate than flowers and more elegant than the moon, and was looking at him with a smile.
Yan Rin didn't know who this woman was for a while, and she was irritated in her heart, where did she have time to pay attention to strangers, but out of the most basic politeness of a man, it was not good to turn a blind eye to a beautiful woman who took the initiative to say hello, so she had to say lightly: 'Miss is denying the wrong person?' ”
The woman chuckled: "Childe is a noble person, more than 20 days ago, someone collapsed my welcome room even the windows and walls, Childe was downstairs at the time, and I had a relationship with Childe. ”
Yan Rin remembered. Isn't this the woman who played a blind date game with Rong Qian at the beginning?
That day, his eyes were full of Rong Qian, where did he have time to pay attention to others, and then he heard Qinggu talk about the word blind date, so he took a serious look at the woman twice, and in his impression, she was just a beauty.
Later, I asked Shi Jingyuan to investigate, and I learned that this woman was actually the top brand of Baihualou, a famous prostitute in Kyoto, and the so-called blind date was just a farce made by An Wuji.
For this beautiful woman, Yan Rin definitely doesn't have a good impression. Although I don't know who led him and Rong Qian to meet like that, the other party didn't seem to have malicious intent, but it didn't feel good to be dragged and controlled by someone after all. Although Yin Yin didn't know it, he was indeed used by others and participated in it.
It's just that thinking of that nonsense allowed him to reunite with Rong Qian, and he didn't fake the public and selfish afterwards to find trouble with Baihualou.
Now that he is in a bad mood, this woman is still running to provoke him, and his face and tone are naturally not polite: "It's just an occasional meeting on the street, if this is also a one-sided relationship, wouldn't it be a fateful person who is full of young ladies on the street." ”
A woman's face is beautiful, and a man will inevitably be polite, and it is rare for Yin Yin to treat her so coldly as Yan Rin in her life, she was only slightly stunned, but she also smiled with relief.
A woman who has been rolling in the dust for many years, who has no extraordinary experience. As soon as her mind moved, she knew that this noble son, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had servants like clouds, probably knew his identity, so he secretly despised it.
This kind of thing is idle for the Qinglou woman, and the woman who can do the position of Oiran will be injured and painful because of the man's contempt for the woman in the dust, then she would have vomited blood to death in the begonia flower.
Yin Yin's demeanor was calm, and he said with a smile: "Gongzi is a noble person, how can a lowly woman like a little girl dare to disturb him easily." It's just that I said goodbye in a hurry that day, and I never heard about the whereabouts of Rong Gongzi again, and I was very concerned, I saw Gongzi on the street today, and recalled the situation that day, Gongzi thought that he had a good relationship with Rong Gongzi, so he took the liberty to disturb, I don't know if Rong Gongzi can be okay recently? ”
Yan Rin was stunned and asked, "If you want to inquire about him, why don't you go and ask An Wuji." ”
Yin Yin sighed lightly: "After that day, Gongzi An came to Baihualou, lost his temper with me, scolded me, and did not allow me to interject half a sentence, and then brushed his sleeves away, and has never set foot in Baihualou again, I don't know where to look for him, let alone who to ask Rong Gongzi, and I will ask Gongzi with shame tonight." ”
Yan Rin frowned: "I also heard about the incident where you were messing around with An Wuji. You and Rong ......" he coughed dryly: "I have only met him once, and I have no friendship, and you should have already received the reward for participating in that incident, so what are you doing to inquire about him?" ”
Yin Yin sighed, the sorrow between his eyebrows was faint, and he revealed an incomparable grace and charm: "A humble gentleman, gentle as jade, thinking about it, how to forget!" ”
Yan Rin was stunned, this ...... This one...... What does that mean?
In fact, anyone who has ears knows what these words express about the woman's thoughts, but ...... But...... How can a normal woman dare to show her admiration for a man so boldly in front of strangers?
Yin Yin was born in the dust, and he should have no scruples in this regard, but Yan Rin, although he has heard of Qinglou, he has only heard of it, so he really can't believe it at this time, and he can't accept it.
During these days, Shi Jingyuan found all the best information about the best women in Yan Kingdom, and he didn't seem to be worthy of Rong Qian. There is actually a fireworks woman, so bold and presumptuous, dare to have such thoughts about Rong Qian?
Yinghuan is smiling, hypocritical, how dare she do such a woman who makes a living, how can she ......
Yan Rin was stunned here, almost unable to believe what she heard, but Yin Yin looked funny.
This young man was originally extremely handsome and handsome, and he wore a brocade dress, which was like a jade tree in the wind. The horse god who stepped down was extremely handsome, the whole body was snow-white, there was not a single miscellaneous hair, the people and horses were contrasting, Yinghua was incomparable, the street was full of lights, the four directions were colorful, the streamer was faint, shining on his face and body, reflecting such a heroic style, I am afraid that it is not for those young girls who have not seen much of the world to fall in love at first sight, and secretly promise it.
There are many people in the shade, although it is not so moving, but looking at this young man, so handsome and beautiful, under the light and his eyebrows are tightly locked, his face is full of surprise, it is very interesting, but it also gives birth to some closeness and teasing.
Her eyes turned amorous, and she suddenly said: "To put it simply, I fell in love with Rong Gongzi at first sight and wanted to marry him." ”
