Chapter 32: Joining forces
Anyway, here and now, I saw the familiar Zhou Jiulang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Nie Xiaofan was nervous until his pounding heartbeat calmed down.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
Zhou Jiulang: "... Don't make a fuss?" he laughed.
In fact, he didn't know why he was here, but Nie Xiaofan was good here.
"But how did you know I was here, and came looking for me?" he asked.
Nie Xiaofan: "......"
"So... You don't know I'm here, and you're not here to find me?
Zhou Jiulang looked dazed: "Didn't you come to find me? I'm there in Xia Yue... You sent a message saying that you were waiting for me outside?"
"It's Qiaoqiao!" Nie Xiaofan said suddenly, his eyes infinitely clear. Qiaoqiao must have been following her all the time... sent a message to Zhou Jiulang to come to her...
"Huh?" Zhou Jiulang still doesn't understand, how can this be related to coincidence?
"Nothing... Why are you here in Xia Yue?" Nie Xiaofan asked again.
"I don't know... I'll wake up and I'll be here..."Zhou Jiulang said and pulled Nie Xiaofan again, and said, "Don't care about this." Let's go back. ”
It's so dark, and the road is so far. Let's go home together.
Nie Xiaofan didn't say anything more, and let Zhou Jiulang carry her on horseback, and the two rode together. Youzai returned to Nie's Mansion. Nie Xiaofan automatically ignored the fact that Xia Yue's Prince's Mansion was nearby.
Xia Yue hurt Zhou Qiaoqiao, and she didn't want to pay attention to him.
Zhou Jiulang ignored Xia Yue the whole time.
——————————
The Mansion of the Six Princes.
The sixth prince held the wine jug and asked, "Gone?"
"Back to Your Highness... Gone...", the waiter said.
Cut!
Xia Yue snorted coldly, she had arrived at the door, and she didn't say that she would come to drink two glasses with him!
This Nie Xiaofan is getting more and more boring!
Xia Yue raised her head and poured a pot of wine.
On the beam not far away, Zhou Qiaoqiao stood with his hands in his hands, watching Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Jiulang return home together outside the high wall. also looked at the high wall and Xia Yue borrowed wine to drown her sorrows.
"Look... I'll just say he still cares about you!" A lazy voice sounded, and Zhou Qiaoqiao frowned.
It turned out to be Han Maodian, who was lying on the beam of the house, swaying uncontrollably with Erlang's legs.
"Is it because he cares about me, do I have to forgive him for his deception?" Zhou Qiaoqiao said coldly.
Han Maodian smiled and said, "What can he lie to you? Are you the infatuated girl who has been waiting for three years?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked resentful and did not speak.
Although she has not waited for the past three years, the hope in her heart is still there. If Xia Yue can really overturn the case for her family, she is naturally willing to raise eyebrows with Xia Yue...
It was Xia Yue who broke her hope... It's not just a slash in two, it's a little bit... Little by little, it turns her into a joke...
Zhou Qiaoqiao raised his head and looked at the endless starry sky. Took a deep breath.
She didn't think about it anymore. Xia Yue's cold love is so far, it's really not worth nostalgia!
"Let's go... Take back the military power. I'm going to talk to you about it again. Zhou Qiaoqiao said. As she spoke, she flew onto another beam.
"Alas, alas..." Han Maodian hurriedly got up, chased after her, and said, "Aren't you going to see her?
Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't look back: "She'll be fine." ”
As long as Nie Xiaofan is no longer affected by her, then she will be fine.
When the two arrived at a small house, Zhou Qiaoqiao spread out the map of Liao on the tea table in the house, and said, "According to those veterans... Their soldiers are on the opposite side of the northwest..."
When Dasheng opened the country, the three brothers who fought the country were Sheng, Han and Zhu.
Among them, the Sheng family is more powerful than the soldiers, and it is Dasheng that has become the bag of the Sheng family.
But the generals of the Han and Zhu families should not be underestimated. Just look at the present dynasty, the Han army is guarding the people in the northwest, and the Western Xia people and the Liao people are terrified, you can know the strength of the Han army.
From now before Empress Li, Empress Dasheng is out of the Zhu family. The power of the Zhu family is definitely not weak. Emperor Chengshun Zhou Shaoyang and King Runan used all their tactics to temporarily kill the bloodline of the Zhu family. However, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and after the Zhu Jiajun heard that Fu had fled to Liao with his little daughter, the generals took the initiative to follow Fu.
It is precisely because of these soldiers and the inheritance of the Zhu family that the Fu family has the confidence to break into the position of queen in the Liao Kingdom.
Although Fu's status in Liao is respected, he does not fully grasp the overall situation.
She was transferred to the Zhu family's generals and went to the border of the Liao State to defend the northwest, in fact, in private, in order to facilitate the alliance of the king of the west and form a threat to Dasheng.
"That's 50,000 soldiers. There are also a thousand secret guards, all of them are guarding the safety of the Fu family... and countless treasures... That's all the Zhu family's stuff..."Zhou Qiaoqiao gritted his teeth and said.
In her name, Fu mobilized the remaining financial and material resources of the Zhu family to help her... And her son in the Liao country paved the way!
It's hateful!
Han Maodian sat down unhurriedly and said, "In the northwest bordering the Liao State, the Liao army guards on the opposite side are indeed those veterans..."
In order to appease these people, Fu never reduced their power, but was sure that these people would be loyal to her, so he regarded them as her confidants. They all fled from Dasheng, so they were naturally willing to join together. Fuch put them all in one place.
But whenever you leave the station, you will enter together, and you will retreat together...
"If you want to get these soldiers back, it's easy to say it's hard to say, it's hard to say it... The most important thing is that these veterans are still in the capital? With all due respect, once you know about your dispute with the Fu family, the Fu family probably won't let them return to Liao alive..."Han Maodian said.
Zhou Qiaoqiao is also worried about this problem.
In the past ten years, Fu Shi has used her name to drive the Zhu family's army, once they know that even she is Fu Shi's pawn, they are afraid that Fu Shi will kill people and destroy their mouths.
And they are in Dasheng, Fu Shi can make up a reason when he goes back, and he can prevaricate those people under them!
She bit her lip and said, "So now, I plan to hold back and wait until those people return to Liao." ”
"And you have to wait!" Han Maodian scoffed. "One more thing, I remember that the first time you and I worked together, it was my father and the alliance. Right now... If you and I cooperate again, should we talk about the conditions of the alliance between you and me?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao propped his hands on the table, looked at the map, and looked at him coldly.
This guy will take advantage and avoid disadvantage!
Han Maodian was very indifferent, sitting there sideways, staring at her without changing his face.
"Of course!" Zhou Qiaoqiao said: "If I don't have absolute benefits for you, I naturally won't look for you easily!"
Han Maodian looked at Zhou Qiaoqiao with interest: "Promise me benefits, do you know what I need?"
Besides. She is now a master and apprentice... No, the mother and daughter are broken, the sisters are separated, the lover is about to marry another, she is poor and white, where is there any benefit to him?
"You have been in Beijing alone for many years, even if you are a prince, but in the eyes of your father... Ha..."Zhou Qiaoqiao sneered: "I'm afraid he can't remember what you look like, right?"
was said to be in a predicament, and the playfulness on Han Maodian's handsome face was gone, replaced by seriousness.
Zhou Qiaoqiao continued: "Again... You have a sweetheart but you don't dare to admit it, you don't dare to say it, this kind of feeling..."
"Enough!" Han Maodian drank.
Zhou Qiaoqiao stopped talking, she stood opposite Han Maodian, looking at Han Maodian proudly.
"I'll cooperate with you!" Han Maodian said resolutely. Zhou Qiaoqiao is right, it has been so many years, he must make achievements!
Zhou Qiaoqiao sneered and said: "Dasheng Jiangshan is not just surnamed Sheng, you and I Zhu Han have joined forces to fight against the powerful Sheng family... It does make sense!"
"It's Han and Zhu!" Han Maodian corrected. "Don't forget, I'm the prince of Pingxi!
Zhou Qiaoqiao was lazy and had a verbal dispute with him. This was the right time to end the dispute. Instead, dwell on the goals of the two and how to act...
——————————————————————
Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Jiulang tiptoed back to the Nie Mansion Bamboo Fragrance Courtyard.
Now the house is deserted, and the bamboo incense courtyard has become unpopular because of the departure of the owner.
Even if there are many people to serve tonight because of Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Jiulang's stay, there is still no popularity. At least in the past, whenever Nie Xiaofan returned to Zhuxiang Courtyard, he would have a sense of belonging, but now he is sad...
"Hurry up and get some rest. It's not early. Zhou Jiulang pulled Nie Xiaofan into the door.
Nie Xiaofan sneered, this place has become his?
I've been running around most of the capital tonight, and I'm really tired. The two of them lay down with their clothes together, and at this point, Nie Xiaofan found a sense of familiarity in the pit where he once slept.
The previous embarrassment of running outside came back to mind. Nie Xiaofan thought that on the way to Shanxi before, she had gained a lot of self-defense weapons. For example, the Hidden Arrow, such as the Daoguang Dispersion...
In short, the next time she goes out, these things must not leave an inch!
She doesn't want to be as embarrassed as she has been recently.
Seeing Nie Xiaofan tossing and turning, Zhou Jiulang turned over and took her in his arms: "Can't you sleep? I'll talk to you for a while..."
Nie Xiaofan snorted.
"Xiao Fan... Honestly, do you have any regrets?"
Regretful?
What regrets?
"It's just... The day you left the cabinet... You're unconscious..."Zhou Jiulang said apologetically. After all, it's all his fault.
"There will be a little..."Nie Xiaofan said...
"Then what do you imagine what it is like to get married?" Zhou Jiulang said with a smile.
"What can it be? Get on the sedan chair... The groom came to pick me up with flowers... Then get down on one knee and say your wedding vows to me... Ah... Go to sleep...", she said, a Western-style wedding is an anomaly here!
"That's all?" Zhou Jiulang asked anxiously. Nie Xiaofan did not answer. "Then you can sleep... There's a surprise tomorrow morning..."He said, his tone a little helpless...
"What's the surprise?" Nie Xiaofan asked.
Zhou Jiulang didn't speak, but hugged her tighter. Nie Xiaofan didn't think about anything else, all kinds of emotions were at peace at that moment, she closed her eyes, Zhou Jiulang's steady breathing was like a lullaby, and she soon fell asleep.
The next day, Nie Xiaofan woke up to the sound of birds chirping in the early morning.
"The girl is awake," Liu Yu Fennel happily called outside.
Nie Xiaofan: "......"
She woke up and woke up... What to shout?
The two of them just laughed and did not answer.
The Bamboo Incense Courtyard is still the same as it was, but Nie Xiaofan feels a lot stranger to everything.
"Quick... Girl, the slave maid groomed you. Liu Yu said with a smile, and couldn't help but fish Nie Xiaofan out of the bed.
Liu Yu Fennel did it together, and after a short time, she combed Nie Xiaofan into a refreshing bun and changed her into the clothes she wore at home.
Nie Xiaofan looked at himself with clear eyebrows in the bronze mirror, and Nie Xiaofan always felt that something was wrong.
Waiting for Liu Yu Fennel to dress her up, Nie Xiaofan took a closer look, isn't this the dress of the girl who has not left the pavilion?
If it is an unmarried girl, you can braid your hair into a small braid and hang it down to your ears, but if you are a married woman, you have to coil your hair...
"What's going on?" asked Nie Xiaofan.
I'm going back to Zhou's Mansion today, she doesn't want to gossip about such a trivial matter, she doesn't believe that these two girls don't understand.
"Girl, don't worry, you'll find out later!" Liu Yu said with a smile.
As he spoke, he put a square scarf on Nie Xiaofan's head.
"What are you doing..."Nie Xiaofan tore it off and saw that it was a piece of silk that was as red as blood.
"This is Xipa!" Liu Yu said. "Girl... Hurry up and put it on, the new aunt is coming..."
Nie Xiaofan: "......"
Finished... What should I do if the little girl is stupid?
Waiting online, it's in a hurry...
Liu Yu trotted to open the door, outside the door, Zhou Jiulang was holding a bouquet of flowers, which he picked early in the morning...
Slowly, walked in front of Nie Xiaofan, and then... Get down on your knees...
Lynnel: Wow... My uncle knelt down for the girl, alas...
"Xiao Fan. Before... It's all my fault that you're hurt. You said you don't know what it's like to get on a sedan chair, so let's go again today... Would you like to?" asked Zhou Jiulang.
Nie Xiaofan: "......"
Does this count as a marriage proposal?
Propose... Do you want to cover the woman's head?
What kind of custom is this?
"Xiao Fan... Would you like to?" Zhou Jiulang asked again. Do you have to say the oath first... Over here... So many people... It's not suitable, right? It's a little embarrassing...
"What are you doing here?" Nie Xiaofan ripped off his hijab and said, "But suffocate me." I do. Get up first. ”
"Xiao Fan... I'm serious!"
On the carriage back to Zhou's mansion, Zhou Jiulang was still worried that Nie Xiaofan did not cooperate with his performance.
"I know..."Nie Xiaofan said.
She knew? Zhou Jiulang was angry.
He thought she thought he was joking!
