Chapter 33 The Tuoba Family
After a while, Murong Zhining was brought in by the little girl. Tuoba sent his subordinates away, and he took his own handsome leave of the room, closing the door by the way.
Murong Zhining glanced at Yun Yuexuan with an indifferent expression: "The general has been in a coma for several days, and I have no choice but to run out for help." Fortunately, I met Tuoba Gongzi, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. The doctor said that you still need to recuperate for a while, so you can rest in peace. ”
Qi Yun Yuexuan looked at Murong Zhining's expressionless face, thinking about the ruthlessness with which she pulled out the arrow for herself, and couldn't help but laugh softly. Murong Zhining glared at him: "My life is almost gone, and I still have the heart to laugh? Qi Yun Yuexuan still couldn't help but smile: "Isn't this exactly what the princess wants? The princess has a tense face, is it because General Ben is not dead?" Murong Zhi was silent and did not respond.
Qi Yun Yuexuan saw that Murong Zhining ignored him, and deliberately teased Mukong Zhining: "By the way, when you took off General Ben's clothes, General Ben was still conscious, but General Ben was powerless to resist at that time." Don't think that if you look at General Ben's body, you don't have to be responsible. Murong Zhi's face flushed with shame, if it weren't for Yun Yuexuan's arrow wound, she really wanted to slap him hard.
Qi Yun Yuexuan restrained the smile on his face, and his expression became solemn: "General Ben's body is no longer in serious trouble. This Tuoba Prince, we don't know the roots, this general is afraid that he will be bad for the princess, we must leave as soon as possible. Murong Zhining wrung the towel in his hand: "Tuoba Gongzi looks gentle and elegant, not like a bad guy at all." If he wants to deal with us, he will do it a long time ago. Your body, the doctor said that you have to take care of it for a while, and if the wound worsens, it will kill you. Qi Yun Yuexuan's face changed, and he returned to indifference: "Have you ever seen a bad person write bad words on his face? When you see a person who looks like a dog, you think it's a good person." No, I can't put you in danger, we have to get out as soon as possible. Murong Zhining snatched him up: "That's right, there are no bad words on General Qiyun's face." Qi Yun Yuexuan glared at her angrily, and slammed his fist on the bedpost, perhaps shocking the wound, and he grinned and made a "sizzle" sound.
Murong Zhining's tone was domineering and non-negotiable: "This time you have to listen to this Gong Palace." This palace orders you to take care of yourself for a few days, otherwise you will have to drag down this palace on the road. Qi Yun Yuexuan frowned: "By the way, why are there still people in your father's land who are so bold to hunt you down? Is there something hidden that General Ben doesn't know?" Murong Zhining's face sank for a moment, and he didn't tell the truth after all: "Maybe it's just a few thieves who want to take the palace to threaten the father of the palace." ”
"Bangbang", the door of the wing room was knocked softly. Tuoba elegantly shook a folding fan and pushed the door in: "General Qiyun is recuperating here with peace of mind, and I will take care of Miss Murong for the general." The general was wounded and had difficulty moving, so I had dinner brought to his room. After the general finished dinner, he lay down and rested well, and I took Miss Murong to the front hall to eat. After speaking, she made a gesture of invitation to Murong Zhining elegantly, looking very courteous. Qi Yun Yuexuan frowned tightly, and watched the two of them walk out of the wing room with a smile and a smile. Yahuan brought hot porridge and a few delicate side dishes to Qi Yun Yuexuan on a tray.
For five days in a row, Qi Yun Yuexuan stayed in the wing room to recuperate, Xiao Yahuan served him wholeheartedly, but Murong Zhining never came to see him once. Qi Yun Yuexuan was both angry and unable to hold his breath, and asked Xiao Yahuan: "Where has Miss Murong been these days? Why don't you see her people?" Xiao Yahuan replied respectfully: "The young master of my family took Miss Murong to the tea garden on the mountain. Our Tuoba family is one of the top merchants in the capital, this time is a good time to collect tea, Gongzi took his sister and a group of servants, and came to Shunyi County, which is far away from the capital, where there is the best tea garden of the Tuoba family. Tuoba Gongzi is very particular about drinking tea, and he will drink it only after watching his subordinates pick and make it himself. Qi Yun Yuexuan's face was full of anger, this Tuoba Zhi seemed to be very good at pleasing Murong Zhining.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Yahuan happily told Qi Yun Yuexuan that Tuoba Zhi had returned to the village from the tea garden with Murong Zhining.
At dinner, Tuoba Zhi asked someone to invite Qi Yun Yuexuan to the front hall. He set up a feast tonight to celebrate the good harvest of his tea plantation this year. During the banquet, Tuoba Zhi has been diligently serving vegetables for Murong Zhi. The banquet was full of all kinds of mountain delicacies, and the luxury was staggering. Bear's paw hump, shark fin bird's nest, sea cucumber venison, you name it. Qi Yun Yuexuan watched coldly from the sidelines, thinking to himself that this Tuoba Zhi really had any intentions for Murong Zhining, but after all, Tuoba Zhi had saved his own life and was so hospitable, even if he had fire, he would be embarrassed to mess around. However, Qi Yun Yuexuan is not a generous person, even if he forbears, he has to embarrass Tuoba Zhi.
Qi Yun Yuexuan pretended to say casually while eating: "It is said that the Murong family and the Tuoba family are bitter enemies, but the Tuoba family is so good to Miss Murong, it is really touching." Tuoba smiled elegantly, with an easy-going face: "That's all history, how can you be so serious? The change of dynasty is just a passing cloud, where is there any resentment against the family?" Murong Zhining looked at the two men who were arguing suspiciously, and didn't understand the meaning of their words: "Who is the bitter enemy of the resentful family? What are you talking about?" ”
Tuoba Zhi stopped his chopsticks, still with an elegant and confident face: "General Qiyun's words are wrong! That was hundreds of years ago." Moreover, as far as I know, when the Northern Yan destroyed the country, the Feng clan had already replaced the Murong clan in power. Where did he come from to destroy the country of the Murong clan? Where did he come from to complain about the family?" Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't want to embarrass Tuoba Zhi, but now that he has an opponent in chess, where is he willing to lose the upper hand: "Tuoba Gongzi is going to discuss history with General Ben! When Northern Yan destroyed the country, it may not be the Murong clan who was in power. But when the Tuoba clan forced the whole country of Beiyan to flee, wasn't there a Murong clan in it? Didn't your ancestors kill the Murong clan?"
The atmosphere was a little tense for a while, Tuoba Zhi was also a person who had seen the world, he laughed, and responded indifferently: "The events at the time of the escape, there is no detailed record in the history books, that is, a few wild histories written by later generations, Brother Qi Yun is trying to impose the crime on my head?" Qi Yun Yuexuan actually wanted him to accept and please Murong Zhining, not to embarrass him, after all, he received the favor of others, he smiled and did not speak again. Murong Zhining was silent for a while, and intuitively, she vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with the piano score on her body.
Just when the atmosphere was very awkward, a girl ran into the house with a smile: "You don't wait for me to eat? The girl was dressed in red, her round face and some baby fat that had not faded, and she looked naughty and cute. She looks fifteen or sixteen years old, has a beautiful face, and the clothes on her body are beautiful and luxurious, and she looks like the daughter of a big family.
"This is the sister, her name is Tuoba Lan, and she is a naughty fellow. Tuoba Zhi introduced to Qi Yun Yuexuan. Tuoba Lan saluted to Qiyun Yuexuan, with a shy look on his face: "Lan'er has seen General Qiyun, General Qiyun's young hero, Lan'er admires him very much. Qi Yun Yuexuan indifferently clenched his fists and returned the salute, but did not reply.
Tuoba Lan sat coquettishly beside Murong Zhining and took a bite of food: "My brother is so good to Sister Murong, I have never seen him treat others so well." Sister Murong, are you okay to be my sister-in-law?" Qi Yun Yuexuan coughed deliberately, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into embarrassment again.
Tuoba Lan glanced at Qi Yun Yuexuan in confusion: "General Qi Yun, aren't you Sister Murong's elder brother? and you are not your own brother, you can't object to my brother and Sister Murong's affairs." Murong Zhining's face flushed, and she pulled Tuoba Lan's shirt under the table.
Qi Yun Yuexuan forcibly suppressed his anger and looked careless: "Hmm, why does Miss Murong say that I am her brother?" He stared at Murong Zhining with a pair of phoenix eyes with a cold color. Murong Zhining was afraid that he would talk nonsense, so she pouted weakly at her, she didn't want to make the atmosphere so embarrassing again. Qi Yun Yuexuan glanced at her, and smiled understandingly: "Where am my brother? Her father asked me to send her home, and as for family affairs, I, as an uncle, can still talk. Murong Zhining was ashamed and angry, blushing and lowering her head. Tuoba Zhi glanced at Yun Yuexuan meaningfully.
Tuoba Zhixian broke the deadlock: "I have collected all the tea these days, and I plan to return to Nanjin in the next few days. I heard that you are also going to Nanjin, and you happen to be accompanied all the way, and you have a response. Qi Yun Yuexuan refused: "It's too much to disturb the mansion in the past few days, and General Ben and Miss Murong are being hunted down and killed by the enemy, so it is inconvenient to accompany you." Tuoba Lan looked innocent: "So you should be with us, so that you can take care of it on the road." General, please rest assured, there are many members in our family, and it is not something that ordinary people can deal with. My sister walked with us, just enough to hide her identity. Tuoba Zhi also looked at Qi Yun Yuexuan with anticipation, hoping that he would be persuaded by Tuoba Lan. Qi Yun Yuexuan was very firm: "I promised people that I would send her to Nanjin safely, and I couldn't let her take any risks, thank you for your kindness." If I have the chance, I will repay you well. The Tuoba brothers and sisters were all disappointed.
Early the next morning, Qi Yun Yuexuan changed into a casual dress given to him by Tuobazhi. It was a beige narrow-sleeved robe, which was the most suitable to wear during the trip, and it also fit perfectly when Yun Yuexuan wore it, looking dignified and elegant. Murong Zhining also changed into men's clothes, and Tuoba Lan also pasted two fake mustaches for her, which made her look a little like a man. Qiyun Yuexuan hugged Murong Zhining onto the horse, and he straddled Murong Zhining's back. His halberd and armor were also wrapped in cloth and tied to the horse.
Tuoba Zhi and Tuoba Lan reluctantly waved goodbye to them, Tuoba Lan had tears in his eyes, and repeatedly asked Murong Zhining to guarantee that he would go to Nanjin to find her, Murong Zhining nodded solemnly.
The black horse spread its hooves, rolled up a puff of smoke and dust, and disappeared from the sight of the Tuoba siblings in the blink of an eye. Tuoba Lan looked at the direction where the horse disappeared in disbelief: "I don't know if I can see Sister Murong and General Qiyun again?" Tuoba sighed: "Even though Miss Murong didn't tell me her true situation, I can still guess one or two." If I hadn't looked away, Miss Murong would have been Shang Xia's Princess Fengyi, and they weren't something we could afford to climb. Tuoba Lan's eyes glared at the boss in surprise.
The horse slowed down the official road for a while. Qi Yun Yuexuan sat behind Murong Zhining, smelling her hair, and couldn't help but lean close to her ear and whispered, "You told people yesterday that I was your brother?" Murong Zhining shrank her neck in fright and reached out to cover her ears. Qi Yun Yuexuan's lips gently fell on the back of her hand protecting her ears, Murong Zhining was so frightened that she hurriedly took her hand away, as soon as she took her hand away, Qi Yun Yuexuan mischievously put her lips on her ears, she had to blush and cover her hands on her ears again. Qi Yun Yuexuan looked at Murong Zhining's embarrassed appearance, laughed, his revenge was satisfied, and he didn't embarrass Murong Zhining anymore, only reached out and hugged her thin waist.
In the evening, the two passed by an inn. Qi Yun Yuexuan was afraid that Murong Zhining would not be able to bear riding a horse for a day, so he planned to stop and stay for one night.
The shopkeeper greeted him warmly and led the horse diligently: "The two young masters, please, the shop has good wine and food, and there is a room." Qi Yun Yuexuan walked inside, and instructed the shopkeeper: "I want a room, get a table of good dishes and send it to the room." Murong Zhining gently tugged at the corner of his clothes behind him, and his voice was inaudible: "I want two rooms." Qi Yun Yuexuan glanced at her, didn't speak, and continued to walk inside. The shopkeeper bowed down and made a gesture of invitation: "Two distinguished guests, please go upstairs, and the second room upstairs is the upper room." ”
