Chapter 118: The Selfishness of Love
Liu Qingyun quietly came out of the small courtyard, came to the front yard, and saw that the study was still lit up, so she pushed the door in.
The Sky Shaking Tiger was meditating cross-legged on the soft couch in the study, and when he heard someone coming in, he didn't open his eyes, and scolded when he opened his mouth:
"Who let you in?! Get the hell out of here! ”
Liu Qingyun ignored him, walked straight in, and sat on a stool on the side.
"Didn't you get out of here? You ......" Shaking the Sky Tiger scolded while Huo Ran opened his eyes, and when he saw his daughter Liu Qingyun sitting in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then sighed softly, and asked:
"Qingyun, it's so late, what are you doing?"
Liu Qingyun said angrily: "Come and see if my father's anger has disappeared?" ”
The Heaven-Shaking Tiger said: "Yo, when did my Qingyun change sex, and I know that I care about your father?" ”
Liu Qingyun said angrily: "Yes, it's time for me to care, there is a mess at home in Xinzhou, and now the family in the capital is also smoky, I really don't know where is a pure land, which can let me live well." ”
Hearing her ulterior cynicism, the Sky Shaker snorted and snorted heavily, "You must have your father and I to live first, so that you can live comfortably, understand?" Now your father's life is about to be broken, Qingyun, you came here so late just to block your father, right? ”
Liu Qingyun said: "Where do I dare, I just want to ask you, what are your plans now?" Do you plan to continue to follow the prince? ”
"Or else? Do I have a way out? ”
The Sky Shaking Tiger gritted his teeth and muttered, and said: "I can also figure it out, but I was too flamboyant in the past, the prince has always been suspicious, he thinks I am too popular, and I am probably dissatisfied with me early in my heart, and now let me obey Zifeng's arrangement, it is clear that I want to cold me, cold me, let me know that without him, I am nothing!" ”
Liu Qingyun said: "Then you leave him, let's go back to Xinzhou, we also have an industry over there, and there is no problem in living a rich life." ”
The Sky Shaking Tiger sneered: "Girl, what you think is too simple, who am I, the Sky Shaking Tiger?" The prince's right-hand man! Even if he is deliberately rectifying me and suppressing me now, in fact, he can't do without me, just like the emperor can't do without flying sand. ”
"The flying sand is dead without a shadow! But the prince doesn't have you, and Zifeng. Liu Qingyun said lightly.
Hearing this, the Sky Shaking Tiger's face suddenly sank, and he said, "Zi Feng is indeed a prince now, but he has only been doing it for a few days?" Do you think the prince trusts him? I'm good, he's okay, after all, it's not all chess pieces in the hands of the prince! Zifeng doesn't have his own people, no team, the prince is relieved now, as long as Zifeng has something that doesn't go with the prince's heart, the prince wants to kick him away like kicking a broken shoe, wanting to kill him, like pinching an ant to death, he doesn't have any strength to resist, and I'm different, why does the prince suppress me? That's because Lao Tzu and I have people and horses, doesn't he have the slightest concern? ”
Liu Qingyun said: "As you said, Zifeng is indeed nothing in the eyes of the prince, but how important he is in my eyes, you don't know." ”
The Sky Shaking Tiger said: "Of course I know, so I didn't do anything to him, if it was someone else, Lao Tzu would have pinched him to death a long time ago, see who dares to ride on Lao Tzu's head to make a fortune, and dare to order Lao Tzu to do this and that." ”
Liu Qingyun asked, "What did Zifeng order you to do?" ”
Sky Shaker pouted, "That's not true. ”
Liu Qingyun: "Zifeng respects you as a master, and as far as his current relationship with me is concerned, he will also be your son-in-law sooner or later, a son-in-law and a son-in-law, and my future happiness depends on him, isn't it?" If you're doing it for my sake, you're not going to watch him die, are you? ”
The Sky Shaking Tiger looked straight at Liu Qingyun, a trace of dazedness flashed in his eyes, and asked: "You are a son-in-law and a son in the middle of the night, and you are talking about 'sending death', who wants to send death?" What exactly do you want to tell me? Why am I getting more and more incomprehensible? ”
Liu Qingyun frowned and said, "I heard news that the crown prince ordered Zifeng to kill the Wing King. ”
"What?"
The Sky Shaking Tiger stood up suddenly, with a hint of shock in his eyes, "The crown prince is finally going to attack the Wing King?" Where did you know that? Is the message reliable? ”
Liu Qingyun said: "Zhou Yunqi from Wude Hall came here just now, he was talking to Zifeng in the house, and I overheard it." ”
The Sky Shaking Tiger raised his hand and touched the pitch-black beard on his chin, the eyes of the two leopards swirled, and he muttered: "I've been holding it for so long, and I'm finally going to do it, this movement is too big......"
Liu Qingyun asked, "Dad, what are you muttering?" ”
The Sky Shaking Tiger hurriedly gathered his thoughts and replied, "Ah, it's nothing, what are you going to say?" ”
Liu Qingyun said: "I want you to persuade him not to kill the Wing King." ”
"Persuade, persuade him?"
Sky Shaking Tiger didn't expect her to say this, and was very surprised, "You want me to persuade him?" Don't kill the Winged King? You're kidding me, right? That was the Prince's order. ”
Liu Qingyun stood up and said urgently: "Am I joking with you?" Killing the Wing King, how easy is it to say, it is said that the Wing King's martial arts are already first-class, that is, the Dongfang Jue around him, those people in Hot Heimu, which one is not a famous grandmaster in the rivers and lakes? With Zifeng's martial arts, with those wastes in Wudetang, can they kill the Wing King? In the end, if you can't complete the task, what if you lose your own life? The crown prince is in a hurry to get the throne, should we give up our lives for him? Is it worth it? Zifeng is my future husband, and I must not let him take this risk! ”
The Sky Shaking Tiger spread his hands and said, "Then what can I do?" This is the prince's order, and Zifeng doesn't dare to refuse, how can I persuade him? However, maybe Zifeng was lucky and really made him successful? If he succeeds, it means that most of the Liang Kingdom is already in the hands of the crown prince, then Zifeng is the hero, and the hero ......" The Sky Shaking Tiger paced slowly in the room with his hands on his back, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Liu Qingyun was anxious: "Dad, no matter what, you have to persuade him, I don't want Zifeng to be a hero, I don't want him to take risks, if he has three longs and two shorts, I won't live!" ”
Hearing this, the Sky Shaking Tiger finally stopped and said, "Don't talk about something dead and alive, it's unlucky. Okay, I promise you, I'll persuade him, but I can't guarantee that he will listen to me, after all, he is now the hall master of Wude Hall, but he is not my subordinate, I can only do my best in this matter, if he insists on not listening to me, you don't blame me. ”
"Then thank you Dad." Liu Qingyun bowed slightly, turned around and left, and suddenly stopped.
"What else?" The Sky Shaker asked.
Liu Qingyun turned around and said, "I want to get married." ”
"Marriage?" The Sky Shaking Tiger was stunned for a moment, and smiled "Haha": "That's a good thing, when are you going to do it, Dad will take care of it for you right away, Zifeng's small courtyard is good, and I will make your new house in the future." ”
"No, I want to go to Xinzhou."
"Why do you want to go back to Xinzhou?" The Sky Shaker seemed a little surprised.
"yes, I want to marry over there, and then, lock him up." Liu Qingyun's quiet voice carried deep anxiety.
The Sky Shaking Tiger was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Okay, lock it up and live your own little life, I think it's good." ”
When Liu Qingyun left the study, the eyes of the Sky Shaking Tiger were firmly fixed on her back, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to herself:
"The prince is finally going to make a move on the Winged King, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn over, the success rate of the Purple Wind Killing Winged King is only thirty percent, and I am different...... Prince, prince, you better open your eyes and take a good look, who is the person you need the most, who is the person you can't live without the most, and who is the hero who laid the foundation for you, hehehe......"
Liu Qingyun returned to the small courtyard, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Zifeng standing in front of the door.
"Where have you been so late?" A look of suspicion flashed in Zifeng's eyes.
"I, I'm going to see my father." Liu Qingyun turned her eyes away with a weak heart.
"Is he angry?"
"Yes, much better. If you're all right, then I'll go and rest. ”
Liu Qingyun was about to walk to her room after speaking, but Zi Feng pinched her arm and said, "What do you have on your mind?" ”
"No, I'm just, a little tired." Liu Qingyun didn't even believe what she said, she had nothing to do in the room all day, and she didn't know where her tiredness came from.
Zifeng said softly: "Tonight, don't go back to the room." As he spoke, he gently took her little hand.
Liu Qingyun looked up at him, saw that his eyes were soft, and his heart couldn't help but start pounding, and a pair of feet followed him without obeying the call and entered his bedroom......
The next day, when the first rays of morning sunlight shone into the hut and sprinkled on the bed, Liu Qingyun opened her eyes, turned her head to see that the other side of the bed was empty, she sat up with the quilt, and saw that Zifeng was already dressed and was washing her face in the basin in the corner of the wall.
"Why did you get up so early?"
"Hmm."
Zi Feng responded lightly, took a hand towel to wipe the water off his face, and said, "There are still very important things to discuss in Wudetang today, I want to go early." ”
Liu Qingyun's eyes rose with a thick look of anxiety, and said, "Zifeng, let's get married." ”
Zi Feng's hand froze, put the handkerchief on the shelf, turned his head to look at her, and provoked an indifferent smile on his lips: "What's the matter, you're in a hurry?" ”
Liu Qingyun's eyes flickered, pursed her lips, and said, "It is said that I should be the mother of several children at my age...... Besides, don't you want to marry me? ”
Zifeng walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "I said, I will marry you when my business is done, didn't you promise me?" ”
Liu Qingyun hugged his slender waist and hugged him very tightly, as if he would disappear from his arms if he was not careful, two clouds of mist rose in his eyes, and he choked up:
"But I don't want to wait, I want to marry you as soon as possible, let's go to Xinzhou, okay?"
"Xinzhou?"
Zi Feng looked at her moist eyes, paused for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Is the capital bad? Why go to Xinzhou? Don't you dislike that home in Xinzhou the most? ”
Liu Qingyun lowered her head, looked at him for a while, and said in a firm tone: "Anyway, that's my homeland, and we met there, didn't we?" So I thought, let's get married over there. ”
Zi Feng looked at her quietly, hugged her smooth shoulders, and said softly, "Okay, I'll think about it." ”
"How long do you have to think about it? I want you to marry me right away, I want a child that belongs to both of us, you know? Liu Qingyun's eyes couldn't hide the anxiety in her heart, and tears flowed down.
Zi Feng's heart suddenly ached, and the hand holding her shoulder tightened involuntarily, and raised the other hand to gently wipe away the tears that kept sliding down her cheeks.
"Do you want to cry if you want to marry me? Well, I promise you. ”
"When?" Liu Qingyun asked.
"Wait until I'm done with one last big thing."
"What if it can't be done?"
Zi Feng stood up, her fingers gently slid over her long black hair, and said softly, "Whether it can succeed or not, as long as I don't die, I will definitely marry you." I'm going to Wudetang, you can sleep a little longer. ”
After that, he didn't dare to look directly at Liu Qingyun's expectant eyes, turned around and walked out of the house.
"Zifeng, I'll wait for you to come back!"
Listening to Liu Qingyun's call, Zifeng's footsteps stagnated slightly, and suddenly there was a feeling of worrying, his eyes turned slightly, and an apologetic voice sounded in his heart, "I'm sorry, Qingyun", and he replied faintly: "Okay." Then he did not linger and strode away.
