Chapter 28: Return to Xinzhou

One day half a month later, the Sky Shaking Tiger returned to the mansion with a happy face, and as soon as he entered the door, he called out loudly:

"Someone, hurry up and call Zifeng for me."

When Zifeng came to the hall, the Sky Shaking Tiger smiled and said, "Boy, I can't see it, you are not only a general, but also a talent." ”

Zi Feng said: "Why did Master say this? ”

Sky Shaker smiled, "Do you know where I just went?" Haha, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who called me over, Zhang Chengxiao's old thing finally shut up, and actually maintained neutrality between the prince and the second prince, although he did not take refuge in the prince, but as long as he did not help the second prince, the second prince would have a strong supporter. Zhang Chengxiao shut up, now no one dares to mention the defense of the capital anymore, and the prince is in a good mood. ”

Zi Feng said: "The crown prince is above 10,000 people under one person, as long as he sits firmly on the throne of the prince, then the defense power of the capital will not be in his hands in the end, and he is not in a hurry." ”

"Well said, well said!"

The Heaven-Shaking Tiger was full of spring breeze and said: "For a few months, the prince's face is not good-looking, and the old man is also trembling, although I do things for the prince, but if I don't do it well, the prince wants to kill me, and I can still do it." I'm also living with my head tucked in my belt. Today, the prince finally praised me, Zifeng, this credit goes to you. ”

Zi Feng said respectfully: "The credit of Zi Feng is all good for Master's teaching. ”

"Hahaha......"

The laughter of the Sky Shaking Tiger was much louder than usual, and said: "Now that the prince has less trouble, I can easily go home for two days, so, I haven't been home for a long time, let's go back to Xinzhou City tomorrow, you, also go to see Qingyun." ”

Speaking of Liu Qingyun, the tone of the Sky Shaking Tiger was a little warmer, and he said in a low voice: "This child's mother went early, and I'm used to her, and I'm also spoiled by me, with a withdrawn personality and a bad temper, but since you came to my house, her mood has improved a lot, and now it's not a long-term solution for you to stay in the capital with me, so you can go and accompany her more when you have time." ”

Zifeng forehead: "Yes, Master." ”

Zi Feng has followed the Sky Shaking Tiger for many years, fierceness and cruelty are the true nature of the Sky Shaking Tiger, he is a complete murderous and unblinking demon, even if he is praising and praising the apprentice at the moment, if something goes wrong with the apprentice one day, he will still kill mercilessly.

However, he is extremely gentle with his wife, and even more obedient to his children, showing the human touch of a husband and a father in front of his closest relatives. He stared at him outside, making the people tremble in fright, and at home, no matter how he stared and froze, Liu Qingyun and his younger brother Liu Ziyu still plucked his beard, and the final result was that he gave in and compromised.

is like the woman locked up in his yard, but three points like his ex-wife, he bought it, which is regarded as his nostalgia for his ex-wife, but he insulted the woman again, because, after all, it is not his wife, is he affectionate or ruthless? It can only be said that he does not have any "love" at all except for family affection.

Therefore, Zi Feng clearly understands his position, he will not touch the bottom line and minefield of the Sky Shaking Tiger, of course, he has to save his life, in the future, he still has big things to do.

……

The next day, someone from the East Palace came to spread the word that Liu Fansheng, the heaven-shaking tiger, would bring a meritorious person who had successfully persuaded Zhang Chengxiao to meet him.

The two came to the prince's mansion, the prince looked Zifeng up and down, and asked a few words casually, Zifeng was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied indifferently, the prince was satisfied, and he couldn't help but praise Zifeng's calm and calm posture, and the sky-shaking tiger was full of joy. Taking advantage of the prince's happiness, he took a few days off from him, and set off to Xinzhou City with Zifeng on the same day.

As they rode down the streets of Xinzhou, the Sky Shaker rampaged through the long and endless streets as always, shouting with whips and ordering pedestrians to give way, and if they got in the way, he whipped them down mercilessly. Pedestrians threw baskets and threw picks to avoid them, lest they could avoid it, and those who were whipped rolled on the ground in pain, crying and calling for their mother.

Zi Feng suddenly remembered the scene when he was separated from his younger brother, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and he rode his horse to follow behind the Sky Shaking Tiger, staring at his burly back, and two murderous anger shot out of his eyes.

The two rode their horses all the way to the gate of Liufu, turned over and dismounted.

The Sky Shaking Tiger was full of red light, stepped forward to "pop" and knock on the door, and the family came out to take a look, hurriedly opened the door, and respectfully called: "The master is back." ”

"Well, it's back, it's back." The Sky Shaker laughed, threw off his arms and swaggered in.

A family member took the horse in Zifeng's hands and entered the courtyard through the side door.

When Zi Feng walked through the corridor and walked into the second courtyard, he saw Liu Qingyun at a glance, and he strode up.

Liu Qingyun looked at him quietly, looking cold and still, but a pair of apricot eyes had flashed a little bit of luster jumping, thin lips moved slightly, and said:

"You're back."

"I've seen Miss." Purple Wind faintly forehead.

"Are you okay?"

"Okay."

It seems like every meeting will be the same conversation, simple and direct.

Liu Qingyun looked at him: "You have lost weight." ”

Zi Feng raised his hand and touched his slightly sunken cheeks, and said, "I've been busy lately." ”

"Are you busy killing for my father?"

Zifeng was slightly stunned and asked, "Did you see it?" ”

Liu Qingyun said angrily: "Do you still need to watch? What else can I do with my dad but kill people? ”

The corners of Zifeng's lips trembled: "Is there water?" Thirsty. ”

Liu Qingyun stared at his eyes and said coldly: "The topic changed quite quickly. Follow me. ”

She turned and walked straight to her boudoir, and Zifeng followed her all the way.

Liu Qingyun's boudoir, few men can enter, except for her father, there is only Zifeng.

Zifeng sat down at the table, Liu Qingyun personally poured him a cup of tea and handed it over, and also sat down on the other side, and asked:

"Are you two coming back on business this time?"

Zi Feng said: "No, Master said, I just miss you, come back and see." ”

"Humph!"

Liu Qingyun snorted coldly: "Don't seek to do good, but to accumulate virtue, and it is better to kill fewer people than anything." ”

Zi Feng said: "Don't talk about your father like that, he wants to do things for the prince, and some things are involuntary." ”

Liu Qingyun stared at him for a long time and asked, "When did you learn to speak for my father?" ”

Zi Feng said indifferently: "I'm also in it, aren't I?" ”

Liu Qingyun said softly: "Stay, don't go with him." ”

Zifeng stared at her and said, "...... Ten years ago you told me to 'stay', I stayed, and ten years later you still told me to 'stay'. ”

Liu Qingyun suddenly stood up and walked in front of him, put her face close to his face, a pair of apricot eyes stared at his eyes tightly, Zi Feng suddenly felt a hot heat on his face, and his heart tightened.

"You, what are you doing?" Purple Wind was confused.

Liu Qingyun suddenly sniffed, a touch of pain flashed in her eyes, and she said in a low voice: "Bloody gas." I didn't let you kill people when I left you. ”

The clothes are freshly changed, where does the bloody smell come from? But Zifeng instantly understood what she meant.

After a pause of a few seconds, he said, "At first it was your choice, but then, it was my own choice. ”

The look of pain in Liu Qingyun's eyes was even more intense: "Will you become the second Sky Shaking Tiger?" ”

Purple Wind: "...... I don't know, let's wait and see. ”

The two were silent for a long time.

"Qingyun, Qingyun!" The voice of the Sky Shaking Tiger came from outside the door.

The two stood up, Liu Qingyun glanced at Zifeng, turned around and walked to the door, and opened the door. The Sky Shaker stood outside her door, smiling and holding a brown box in his hand.

"Daddy." Liu Qingyun's expression was indifferent, and her voice was as light as autumn water.

"Master." Purple Wind called out behind her.

The Sky Shaking Tiger glanced at Zi Feng, and didn't feel any strange about him in Liu Qingyun's boudoir, but instead glanced at her neck and asked:

"Huh? Why didn't you wear that jade pendant I gave you on your birthday last year? ”

Liu Qingyun replied: "I lost it." ”

The Sky Shaker was stunned: "Lost? Where was it lost? ”

Liu Qingyun said: "I don't know, anyway, I disappeared when I came back from a trip." ”

Zifeng thought to himself: I lost it to the Gao family in Fengtou Village.

Sky Shaking Tiger smiled: "If you lose it, you can lose it, it's okay." ”

He shoved the box into her hand, "Daddy brought you another piece, take a look, like it or not." ”

Liu Qingyun opened the lid of the box, only to see that there was a milky white jade pendant inside, carved with a lifelike peony, the whole body was icy, with a faint grease luster, and it was the best in jade at a glance.

"How's that, pretty, isn't it? This is the 'jade of Kunshan', which is very precious. The Sky Shaker carefully curryed favor with his daughter.

Liu Qingyun's face did not change, and said, "Thank you, Dad." Is there anything else going on with Dad? After two days of travel, let's go back to the room early to rest. ”

These words were clearly driving him away, but the Sky Shaking Tiger laughed instead and said, "Okay, my daughter will feel sorry for her father, and if her father is fine, then her father will leave." ”

turned to Zi Feng and said, "Zi Feng, you can accompany Qingyun well, don't talk too long, let her rest earlier." ”

At this moment, the Sky Shaking Tiger really looks like a loving father of an ordinary family.

Zifeng forehead: "Yes, Master." ”

After the Sky Shaking Tiger left, Liu Qingyun returned to the room and threw the box containing the jade pendant on the table.

"You, don't like it?" Purple Wind asked.

"Do you think I'll care about these things outside of me?" Liu Qingyun looked at him, and her voice was faint without a trace of taste.

Zi Feng hesitated for a moment, then took out an object wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms and handed it over: "This is also something outside the body." ”

"For me?"

Liu Qingyun was obviously a little surprised, she reached out and took it, opened the handkerchief, revealing a white jade hairpin, one end of the hairpin was engraved with two lotus flowers.

Zi Feng said: "If you like it, you can keep it, if you don't like it, you can throw it away." ”

Liu Qingyun played with the hairpin in her hand, and was silent for a long time, suddenly, she pinched the hairpin and handed it back to him, Zifeng's face changed slightly, and she reached out to take it.

Liu Qingyun said softly: "Help me with the hairpin." ”

"Huh? Oh! ”

Zifeng gathered her thoughts, stepped forward, and carefully inserted the hairpin into her jet-black and shiny bun.

"Is it pretty?" Liu Qingyun asked, but there was no smile on her face.

A faint smile flashed on Zi Feng's lips, and he said softly, "It's good-looking." ”

Liu Qingyun turned around and walked to the bronze mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, a rare flash of pleasure flashed in her eyes, she was silent for a long time, and said:

"Purple Wind, I, I'm twenty-two."

"Yes, I'm twenty-one too." Purple Wind replied.

Liu Qingyun turned her head to look at him and asked, "You, would you like to marry me?" ”

“…… What? Purple Wind was stunned.

For him, he didn't think about this problem at all, he still had one big thing to complete, and before that, he wouldn't think about anything else, not to mention, she was the daughter of the Sky Shaking Tiger, and he didn't want to disrupt his plans because of his children's personal affairs.

Seeing that he was stunned, Liu Qingyun's bright eyes instantly dimmed, and she said softly: "It's nothing." Zifeng, after a day's journey, go and rest early, and accompany me to the street tomorrow, would you like to? ”

Zifeng nodded: "Okay." ”

Ten years have passed, and the two of them are like this, like sisters and brothers, like master and servant, like lovers, like friends, the same indifference, the same coldness, the same calm like water, as if there is no ripple between the two, but there is an undercurrent surging, which will erupt at any time, if it is about to leave, if it is gathered or dispersed.
