Chapter 4: Alliances Don't Align
The person who came was Jiang Yingnian.
I don't know if he's just here, or if he's been eavesdropping outside for a while.
He walked in slowly, put a stick of incense on Jiang Qing in front of the spiritual seat, and retreated to kneel beside Guan Jiyu.
"Or do you have a pomp about someone, even if you give incense to the eldest brother, you have to take the time to make the finale?" He knelt beside her, staring at the spiritual seat in front of him without squinting, unable to see what his expression was.
Guan Jiyu didn't even have to think about what kind of expression he would have, it was nothing more than a sarcastic appearance with a smile on his skin.
She's late, he's going to say she's pompous, but if she's early, he'll have something else to say.
Guan Jiyu simply said indifferently: "I'm not trying to do anything sooner or later, it won't be good if it's early or late, and the eldest prince won't be able to come back to life because I kneel down early, right?" ”
Jiang Yingnian sneered: "It's not unreasonable. ”
She already had her goal in mind, and now she felt relaxed. She couldn't face Jiang Qing for the first two days, all because of the slap in the face of reality, which made her stunned, and now she clearly knows that there is only one way in front of her.
Go to the north, pass the school examination, and go into battle to kill the lonely army in the north.
After walking this short road, find a place to end your life.
Jiang Yingnian didn't make any more sarcasm, maybe because he was going to leave for Beixin the next day, and it was rare for him to calm down.
"Let's make a vow together, we happen to be here. I swore an oath in front of my eldest brother, so that he could be reassured. He said calmly, and then bowed his head and bowed, "Big brother, don't worry, if this revenge is not avenged, I will not come back, three or five years, even if it is ten years, I will definitely avenge you." ”
Guan Jiyu acquiesced to his words, leaned over and kowtowed, and said softly: "I, Guan Jiyu, will definitely kill all the old enemies." ”
She didn't have much to say, and she didn't want to stay with Jiang Yingnian, so she got up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she thought about it, but still reminded: "I will leave for Beixin tomorrow, the road is far away, you should rest early." ”
Jiang Yingnian knelt still. At this moment, his face was illuminated by the candlelight, and his handsome face looked too thin.
"I have to say, I can't wait for you to get out of front of my eyes right away, and get as far away as possible." Jiang Yingnian turned his head, stared at Guan Jiyu's face, and said, "But I still decided to endure it a little longer, and when we take revenge, you can hurry up and get away, and it's best that we don't see each other again in this life." ”
Guan Jiyu met his gaze and replied calmly: "You don't need to say this, after taking revenge, I will never appear in front of you." ”
Jiang Yingnian stopped looking at her and said, "It's best to do what you say." ”
The two of them were originally a wick in their respective lamps, burning and lighting only for themselves. Guan Jiyu would never have thought that one day the two of them would have to be screwed together like this.
It's bound to be a painful journey.
A lamp doesn't burn more vigorously because it has two wicks, it just burns each other to the bitter end, and in the end, one of them has to be removed.
Guan Jiyu thought to herself, Jiang Yingnian's kung fu was average, and it was his own business if he had to go, and it was inconvenient for her to interfere more. She didn't want to mind him, she never needed anyone to join forces with her.
She should make up for her mistakes.
It's best that he can't even pass the selection of the military camp, so he will be eliminated and sent back directly, so that she will have less trouble in the way.
Jiang Yingnian has lived a much more comfortable life in the past few years, Jiang Qing paid so much tuition to send him to learn riding and archery in the capital, and he didn't see him learn anything famous. Not to mention that this kind of strength is embarrassing, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, how dare he dare to expect him to kill the cruel Lone Army? It's almost the same as being a live target.
Guan Jiyu returned to the room and lay on the couch for a long time.
She never believed in any prayers, but at the moment she couldn't help but pray secretly:
May the gods bless.
Don't let Jiang Yingnian pass the selection of the military camp.
The next day, Han Xu prepared a carriage to go to Beixin early, and the Qingzi camp had also arranged for Zheshu and Jingcun to go to the Beixin Xiang military camp first.
It was still raining in Nanqin, long and cold.
The three of them rode together, Guan Jiyu was injured, and when he got into the carriage, he fell asleep with his baggage.
When the general approached Beixin, Jiang Yingnian couldn't stand the cold, so he ordered Han Xu to take out thicker clothes and put them on him.
Guan Jiyu helplessly looked at this pampered boy in Nanqin, and couldn't help but say: "This has not yet entered the northern heart, and the northern heart is the real cold." ”
Jiang Yingnian said angrily: "How do I know it's so cold?" In the past, I occasionally went to the capital in the summer, and I thought that the summer in the north was cool enough, not as hot and humid as in the south. Who knew that the winter in Beixin was so cold......"
Guan Tingyu muttered in his heart, but he still didn't open his mouth after all.
Although the military camp of General Xiang's examination school is also in the northern heart, it is much farther north than the capital, and it is almost to the border. When I really arrived at the camp, let alone accept the school examination in the ice and snow, Jiang Yingnian was like this, and it was difficult to carry out normal activities.
He came to the north to know the height of the sky.
But when she thought of the persistence in his heart, he knew that the road ahead was dangerous, and he had to run to the border with an impulse, and she actually understood his loneliness a little.
She began to think that maybe there were things that couldn't be measured right from wrong. Guan Jiyu was confused for a while, and he didn't know what to say, he just looked forward to arriving at the camp as soon as possible.
Jiang Yingnian knew that the journey was long, so naturally he would not treat himself badly, so he ordered several boxes of exquisite and fine snacks to eat on the road before leaving, and shouted that he was hungry after not walking much distance, and he was dizzy from sitting in the carriage for a long time, so he took out some fine points to eat.
"Alas, it's just that there is still a bowl of tea, this snack is good, but I eat it with a dry mouth."
Guan Jiyu didn't look at him, and only replied coldly: "If you have water, you will drink it when you are thirsty." ”
Han Xu silently handed Guan Jiyu a piece of snack, Guan Jiyu politely refused: "No, thank you." ”
Xu is preoccupied, after traveling on the road for most of the day, Guan Jiyu didn't feel hungry.
Jiang Yingnian saw her refusal, so she pretended to tone: "Okay, Han Xu, people may not understand our affection, and people may not be able to dislike my things." ”
Guan Jiyu turned his head to look out the window, still silent.
Jiang Yingnian said disdainfully: "Pretend!" ”
Guan Jiyu was already aggrieved in his heart, but when he heard his endless sarcasm at this moment, he couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and replied sarcastically: "It's better than you, right?" Do you have a heart? That's your eldest brother, we're on our way to seek revenge, what do you eat and drink like? ”
"What do you mean?" When Jiang Yingnian heard her words, she immediately smashed the pastry in her hand angrily, "Do you have the share of accusing me?" Are you worthy, may I ask? Who is to blame for the death of the eldest brother? It's not that you're blind and can't see the danger, and you're not well protected! ”
Guan Jiyu was so angry that his ears turned red, and he replied angrily: "It was my dereliction of duty not to protect the eldest son, I admit this." But you can figure it out, we are going to the North Heart Camp now, and we have to find a way to pass the selection, can you say less annoying things before that? ”
Jiang Yingnian stared at a pair of big eyes and retorted: "Nasty? Do I hate it or do you hate it? You hate it the most, I've never seen a dead star like you in my life! Big brother is mourned by your discouragement......"
"Okay, let's say a few words." Han Xu plucked out his ears and couldn't help but speak out to stop the quarrel.
Seeing that Han was vivid, the two of them reluctantly put away their emotions and shut up. But there was a lot of anger in my heart, and I didn't talk much from then on, and drove calmly all the way into the north heart.
It's just that the pastry that was thrown to the ground by Jiang Yingnian was lying on the ground in pieces, making people no longer able to see its original delicacy.
Its debris blended with the mud dots that had been stepped into the carriage, and finally no one cared about it.
The dim sum of Pinxiang Building is a must, and it cannot be compared with other houses in any case. But no matter how much it is called a must, now it can only be scattered under people's feet and turned into mud.
Guan Jiyu glanced at the residue on the ground, and suddenly felt sad in his heart.
Jiang Yingnian kept her eyes closed, not knowing if she was really asleep, or simply because she didn't want to open her eyes to see her.
She looked at the snack that had fallen to the ground, and suddenly remembered a sentence.
"I didn't mean to, and besides, they ...... They said today is your birthday, and I have come. ”
Youthful, tentative, or annoyed?
She couldn't remember.
The shadows of those young people have gradually been slowly covered by the hatred of reality, until they are completely devoured.
It's just that at that time, it was obviously not so tense.
At some point, some warmth began to rise in the cramped carriage, and all three of them were deeply tired and gradually fell asleep.
Dreams are full of youth.
Greedy and happy, like a dream free and easy. Only in dreams do I remember Qinghuan's youth.
The young man is always the most innocent, if he likes it, he says he likes it, and if he hates it, he can generously shout "really annoying".
Greedy for good dreams, greedy for good dreams.
For Guan Jiyu, it is already undesirable to be able to dream of the past, she used to hate Jiang Yingnian, hated his teasing, hated his arrogant appearance, and now she would rather accept the former Jiang Yingnian and accept all his previous wanton behavior.
Now facing Jiang Yingnian, she wants to escape more, and she has an inextricable fear in her heart. The three brothers of the Jiang family, except for Jiang Xian's delicate face, Jiang Yingnian's appearance is the most similar to Jiang Qing.
It's just that Jiang Qing is twelve years older than Jiang Yingnian in terms of age, Jiang Qing has a lot of affairs all year round, and his face is full of stability, while Jiang Yingnian is young in the end, and his face is full of flamboyance.
He is too much like Jiang Qing.
Now he is full of grudges, and the flamboyance on his body seems to have turned into a sharp edge overnight, and his aura is too poignant, which makes her feel cowardly.
"Big Brother ......"
Guan Jiyu heard the murmur in her ears, and those two words had a slight cry, like a voice that a child can only have when she misses her family, which made her heart hurt inexplicably. She was so sleepy that she couldn't lift her eyelids to look at it, and she didn't have the strength to think about anything more, so she fell into a deep sleep. And the murmur fluttered in the carriage, and soon disappeared, and no one knew that it existed.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The person in the dream couldn't see his face clearly, but the clothes on his body were brocade with gold threads, and his whole body was full of luxury, and he shook a folding fan in his hand, so he was not graceful.
Guan Jiyu took a few steps forward, but she still couldn't see his expression clearly, she became anxious in her heart, and said loudly to the man: "I know it's you, I'm sorry, Jiang Yingnian." ”
"Why do you say you're sorry?"
"You don't owe me anything." Jiang Yingnian's face gradually became clearer, until she clearly saw the evil smile on his lips, and he asked with a smile: "Say, did you do something wrong?" If you recruit from the truth, my son can consider not telling the eldest brother, otherwise, I will let the eldest brother lock you up in the small black room, and beware that you will not be able to participate in the next competition! ”
Jiang Yingnian's smug look made her feel at ease, great, great, those bad things turned out to be just a nightmare!
She was relieved, and happily took a step forward, Jiang Yingnian in front of her was gone, in front of her, there was only a whirlpool left, Guan Jiyu reached out blankly and wanted to touch the whirlpool, but suddenly a huge force instantly sucked her in.
