Chapter Seventy-Six: A Lifetime of Love
The incense burned by the incense burner wafted out wisps of light smoke, and a faint fragrance filled the entire room.
"Next, just wait for Lan'er to arrive. ”
If nothing else, before dawn, Gong Yi Kelan must have appeared in front of her door, and there was another person with her.
The eastern sky showed a glimmer of dawn, and Wei Xiwan, who had not slept all night, finally waited for the familiar rhythm of knocking on the door.
"Lord, people have brought it. Gong Kelan's voice sounded softly outside the door, for fear of disturbing Wei Xiwan, who was still resting inside, but he didn't know that Wei Xiwan had no intention of sleeping at all this night.
Soon, the door was opened from the inside by the guard, and Gong Yi Kelan stood in front of the door in the dust, and next to him was a woman of her age.
"Is she Rong Wanwan?" Wei Xiwan frowned, the woman in front of her did not have half of the temperament of Rong Jian, her weak and simple appearance was really completely different from her father, who was respectfully called the son of An Jing and was scheming.
"Indeed. Gong Yi Kelan nodded, at first she was not sure, but it was true.
When she found Rong Wanwan in a small town, the woman opened the door with a simple and defenseless face and asked her, "This sister, do you have something to look for me?"
"Yes, I'll take you to your father. With just one sentence, he effortlessly let this woman come with her willingly, without the need to use force at all.
Wei Xi looked at Rong Wanwan at night, and saw that Rong Wanwan's delicate face was tired, and there was irrepressible tension.
"Wanwan come in first. Wei Xiwan spoke, while signaling to Gong Yi Kelan to leave first, he pulled Rong Wanwan into the room with one hand.
"Sister, can I see my father?" As soon as she sat down, the fingers of Rong Wanwan's hands were nervously twisted together, and she looked at Wei Xiwan with timidity and asked.
"Yes, your father is going to lead an army into this city, and the people will be miserable, but what do you want to see?" Wei Xiwan said, looking directly at the clear eyes in front of him.
Rong Jian took great pains to foster her only daughter in a peaceful town, carefree and simple and kind since she was a child, but she couldn't help but never appear in front of her daughter, in order to protect her life of peace and thoughtfulness.
And Rong Wanwan, although she knew that her biological father had fostered her in a small town since she was a child, she had no resentment at all, and this time she sent Gongyi Kelan to bring her, saying that she was seeing her father, and she did not hesitate to follow willingly.
To take advantage of such a simple woman, Wei Xiwan felt a little disdainful at the moment, but the matter was imminent, and she had no choice.
"That's certainly not what I want to see. Rong Wanwan spoke eagerly, soft-hearted and kind-hearted, she couldn't bear to cry just thinking of such a cruel picture.
"If you want this to not happen, then are you willing to help me?" Wei Xiwan said bluntly, "This is also helping your father." ”
"Well, I do. Rong Wanwan nodded seriously without much thought, and along the way to follow Gongyi Kelan, she already knew that her father was Rong Jian, the son of Xiyue Kingdom, and she didn't want to see the cruel war, let alone her biological father with so much blood on his hands.
When the sun rose and dawned, all the soldiers standing guard on the wall of Bomendu disappeared, empty and quiet, and it looked like an empty city from the outside, and the 100,000 troops outside the city who were ready to attack hesitated when they saw this, and could not guess what the situation was.
Rong Jian carefully looked at the empty city wall, and found that although the people were not there, the city defense layout, bows, arrows, fire oil, etc. were the same, he couldn't guess what was going on in the city, if he attacked rashly at this moment, he was afraid that the wolf would enter the tiger's den.
"Wait. Rong Jian spoke in a deep voice, he always felt that everything was not so simple.
When noon came, the sound of the piano came from the city wall, and I saw Wei Xiwan still dressed in white, sitting peacefully in the center of the city wall, stroking the piano on the table with his hand. It's just that she can play the cold jade qin except when she uses the power of winter and no night, and she doesn't know the piano at all the rest of the time, so she has to pluck it twice at will, but she looks calm and relaxed.
"Enough, don't play!" Rong Jian couldn't help but stop it loudly, and hearing the rhythm of Wei Xi's indiscriminate playing, it was a kind of torture in his ears.
But he could hear that the piano that Wei Xiwan was playing was the Han Yuqin.
"I know you're trying to stall for reinforcements. Rong Jian snorted coldly and said loudly to the guards on the city wall.
"Mr. Rong, do you remember what I said to you that day?" Wei Xiwan smiled lightly, and said in a voice with internal force, without much strength, the soft voice clearly reached Rong Jian's ears, "I said...... If it were me, I would have brought your mother and daughter to you. ”
As soon as the words fell, Rong Jian's face changed instantly, he didn't believe that Wei Xiwan could really find his daughter in such a short time, but he was worried about what happened.
"Mr. Yung, I have always done what I said. Wei Xiwan raised his hand and hooked his fingers back, a woman was tied and brought to the city wall, and Tang Feng behind him held a long sword and placed it on the woman's white neck, pushing Rong Wanwan to the edge of the city wall with one hand.
"Wanwan!" Rong Jian couldn't help but shout, even if it wasn't close, he could still recognize his daughter, after all, he had gone to that town and secretly went to see her many, many times.
With tears in her eyes, Rong Wanwan looked at her biological father not far away, who seemed so strange, but the blood connection seemed so familiar.
"Wei Xiwan, let her go!" Rong Jian shouted loudly, his daughter was the only weakness in his life, but at this moment, it was in the hands of others.
"You know what I want. Wei Xiwan looked at Rong Jian, who was already a little angry, "Think about it, what choice do you make?"
After speaking, Wei Xiwan gestured to Tang Feng with her eyes, took Rong Wanwan out of the city gate, and let her walk towards Rong Jian step by step alone.
Seeing her daughter getting closer and closer to her, and her face similar to herself becoming clearer, Rong Jian had never been so excited, but when she saw the man on the city wall who had just held her daughter hostage with a sword, and now he was using a longbow to aim at Rong Wanwan's back for a moment, she was nervous.
Even if there was only one bow and arrow aimed at Rong Wanwan, it was a hundred times more nervous than thousands of bows and arrows against himself, and he didn't even dare to act rashly, for fear that if he was not careful, he would suddenly fall in front of him when he saw his daughter for the first time.
"Father... Father. Rong Wanwan finally walked in front of Rong Jian, and called softly, making Rong Jian can't help but have a sour nose, this is a sentence he has been waiting for for more than 20 years.
Somewhere in his heart was hit hard by these two words, making him instantly realize that he was old, even his daughter, now grown up, looks so slim, this is his daughter......
"Wanwan ......" Rong Jian said a little choked, but he couldn't say a thousand words, he didn't know if his daughter resented him, resented him for abandoning her for more than 20 years, and resented him for not being worthy of being a father.
"Father, daughter is not filial, failed to see father as soon as possible, filial piety by the father's side, and now ...... I don't know if there is still a chance?" Rong Wanwan's delicate face had two tear stains, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw that her father's temples were already a little white.
"Silly boy......" Rong Jian stretched out her hand a little tremblingly, gently stroking Rong Wanwan's hair, "Of course there is." ”
After saying that, he looked up at the guards on the city wall, and the bow and arrow that was still aimed at Rong Wanwan, with a complicated look in his eyes.
