Chapter 18: The Sudden Decree
It was another night of thunderstorms, and in a bamboo forest on the border of the Yue Kingdom, the rain rustled on the bamboo leaves, and in the depths of the bamboo forest, two black-clothed masked men were whispering.
"How's it going?" The man asked.
"Master, please rest assured, the matter has been done, please wait for the good news, it won't be long before Feng Qiuyin will make a move." The woman replied respectfully.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
When the woman heard this, she immediately knelt down at his feet and said, "My subordinates are willing to look forward to the master's horse, and they dare not say anything hard." ”
When the man heard this, he was very pleased, and looked at the sky with a pair of almond eyes, and immediately said to the woman in a serious manner: "No matter what the outcome will be in the future, don't hurt her." ”
"Yes!" The woman answered, and then disappeared into the night sky.
"Miss, the general has been seeing you for many days. Shuang'er made the bed for Wanqing, and muttered and complained.
Wanqing knew that Shuang'er was unhappy for her, and it was also said that Feng Qiuyin had been busy marrying Ning'er, so where would she take her feelings into account.
At this moment, I'm afraid that he is in love with Ning'er, and he has already forgotten her.
Thinking of this, Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little lost, got up and came to Shuang'er's side, and asked, "Hongmei?" ”
Shuang'er turned around, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and replied, "Miss, the general has ordered, and Miss Ning'er will enjoy the same treatment as Miss in the future." ”
She didn't say it too clearly, because she was afraid that Wanqing would be sad, but after she reminded her, Wanqing remembered that Hongmei had already gone to serve Ning'er, and heard Shuang'er no longer call her Mrs. Ouyang, but changed her mouth to a girl, thinking about it, it was also Feng Qiuyin's meaning, but he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, he insisted on this, I am afraid that he intends to resist Mrs. Tai, and his heart to marry Ning'er must be becoming more and more firm.
Shuang'er saw Wanqing's thoughts, sighed, and said: "Miss, Miss Ning'er hasn't passed the door yet, the general loves her so much, if she really marries her, I don't know where she will be placed?" ”
Seeing that she was indignant, a warm feeling rose in her heart, and she hurriedly comforted her: "You girl, it's really unfounded, I am like a sister to Sister Ning'er, if the general loves her, I am happy for her, it will be a family, why bother with you and me, it would be better to be served by Hongmei." ”
Although she said this, she was very sad in her heart, but she didn't want Shuang'er to worry, so she pretended to be nothing.
Shuang'er didn't believe it, and hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Miss really thinks so?" ”
When she asked like this, Wanqing hesitated slightly, saying that she didn't care at all, but she was afraid that she was just deceiving herself.
Seeing her hesitate, Shuang'er didn't give up, and said, "I know that Miss Lu Dao cares, if Miss Ning'er is really like a sister to you, then she should return Sister Hongmei." ”
Wanqing knew that she was unintentional, but she violated Feng Qiuyin's taboo, and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, and reproached repeatedly: "You dead girl, why are you still so fast-talking, do you really think that you have lived too long?" ”
I had to hear Shuang'er's constant whining of protest, Wanqing came to her senses, quickly let go of her hand, and said: "Today's matter, you must not mention it again, and if you miss Hongmei, you can go to visit, if you have to drag me up, why?" ”
Shuang'er was caught by Wanqing's words, her eyes looked around, and she quickly changed the topic and said, "It's getting late today, so Miss should rest early." ”
Tonight the rain was pouring down, the thunder was loud, and she had no sleep, so she said to Shuang'er: "You go to sleep first, I want to sit down for a while." ”
Shuang'er couldn't resist her, so she had to go to sleep obediently, but not long after she left, the door of the General's Mansion was knocking, and it sounded as if someone had knocked hard.
Who could it be at such a late hour?
Wanqing was puzzled, so she propped up an umbrella and walked out of the courtyard.
Bumped into the housekeeper Feng Sen head-on, only to see him holding up an umbrella and walking towards the gate quickly, the rain splashed on his shoes, and he didn't pay attention to it, but in Wanqing's opinion, his expression became more and more nervous.
Seeing this, an inexplicable panic rose in Wanqing's heart, and just wanted to go to check, she saw Feng Qiuyin hurrying from the study in a black robe, led by Feng Sen, and walked quickly to the gate.
Wanqing's heart sank suddenly, she knew that Feng Qiuyin had never dressed so neatly at night, and the people who came must have come from a lot of background.
As soon as the door opened, I saw a swaying figure walking forward, he was dressed in a pale yellow robe, his face was delicate, and a black belt was tied around his waist, and both sides of the belt were hung with exquisite jade pendants, and the entourage behind him held an umbrella for him, and he was bent with his middle finger and raised his orchid finger, Wanqing thought to himself, this must be a eunuch in the palace.
When he saw Feng Qiuyin coming, a trace of joy flashed on his face, and he said in a loud voice: "Oh, General Feng, you have come out, you really made the miscellaneous family anxious!" ”
Feng Qiuyin looked puzzled and asked, "There is a thunderstorm tonight, I don't know why my father-in-law came?" ”
I saw that the eunuch carefully took out a yellow scroll from his sleeve, and said, "Zhenyuan General Feng Qiuyin takes the order!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Feng Qiuyin and Feng Sen kneeling together.
The eunuch opened the holy decree, cleared his throat, and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the army of the Yue Kingdom has become more and more rampant in recent days, and the wisps have violated the border of our country, I heard that the people are miserable, and I am very worried, and I am very worried, and I specially sent the hussar general Feng Qiuyin to lead the whole army, and set off early tomorrow morning to rush to the camp, and I admire this!" ”
"Command!"
After receiving the holy decree, Wanqing clearly saw that Feng Qiuyin's face was becoming more and more ugly, but she didn't know if he was worried about his imminent rush to the battlefield, or worried about not being able to marry Ning'er.
When he turned around and saw her, he was not surprised, but a faint sadness flashed in his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, he took the holy decree into his arms, turned around and took the umbrella, and said to Feng Sen: "It's none of your business here, go down." Then he slowly walked up to her, gently brushed the hair from her ear with one hand, and said, "Did you hear it all?" ”
She didn't want to pretend, she just nodded heavily.
When he saw her nodding, he should have been angry, but his face was calm, and he said: "The murder case of the Murong clan is complicated, and when I return in triumph, I will thoroughly investigate this case, but during this period, I have something to ask you." ”
His attitude was sincere, and he had lost his former domineering, and when Wanqing was surprised, he said again: "If you really want to leave, I won't stop you, but I just ask you to make a decision when I return." ”
