Chapter 66: Dodge
It was night, and the city gate in Sumire Cloud City was wide open, and a small group of people gathered under the city gate, all of them tiptoed to look into the distance.
Kong Lin stood at the head of the group, ignoring the somewhat unhealthy behavior of his opponents, just because he, like them, was looking forward to the people who were about to arrive.
I heard the general say that Fu Shen was coming here, but it didn't matter to him. Just learned that Huan Ci was also among them, so he volunteered to meet them.
Because of Li Jinxiu's recommendation, he was able to meet Zongzheng Law. Zong Zhenglu is a person who loves talents, and he felt so when they first met. Because Zong Zhengche left with some henchmen, and Huan Yuan, who was originally the bravest, had also rebelled, and there was an urgent shortage of talents in the court, Zong Zhenglu used him exceptionally.
Now that he is working under General Kim, he finally has a way to display his ambitions, and now he is also a well-known person in the army.
The news of Huan Yuan's resignation for his daughter Huan and his son-in-law has spread to Jianyun City, and many soldiers in the army joke about it, and everyone laughed and trembled one by one, as if he was the only one who felt melancholy.
Originally, the woman was only eleven years old in his heart, and the only thing he occasionally remembered was when she sat on the tree. It wasn't until Li Jinxiu appeared in Yongzhou that he knew about his good brother's family, and the image of the woman suddenly changed in her heart.
It turned out that she hadn't married for so many years.
It was the first thought that popped into his head.
But then he received a letter from Li Jinxiu, and then he heard some rumors, and Huan Ci's appearance when he was young began to linger in his mind.
originally thought that the situation would slowly improve, but when Huan resigned and decided to marry Zongzheng, those things were remembered by him again and again.
Why, exactly? He thought it must have been because of the words his father had said when he punished him.
Father is Huan Ci is Huan Yuan's baby, and Da Rong is ashamed of their family, so he must treat her well, and he must treat her well when he sees her in the future.
But Darong is also ashamed of us!
Kong Lin looked at the mountain in the distance, and suddenly remembered his father's voice and smile. If his father saw him now working under the hands of Zongzheng Law, would he be disappointed in him?
The man was staring into the distance when a carriage suddenly appeared in his sight, followed by a disciplined procession.
Kong Lin looked at them, glanced back at the people he had brought with him, and scolded: "Stand up!" ”
Everyone had long been accustomed to his strictness, and they were busy standing still, all staring ahead, and no one looked at the chariots and horses coming in the distance.
Sumire Cloud City is located in the middle of nowhere, but it is a military location. Although it is a city, the conditions are difficult, and Huan Ci has never been here.
On the way here, she had guessed that the people stationed here were there to prevent her father from going south, so she was inexplicably a little apprehensive.
Since that day, she has been avoiding caution at all times. Originally, she just felt embarrassed, but after the man kissed her that day, she began to think about the past things of the two.
Now she seemed to be satisfied, but she did not dare to respond to him. 's father confronted the imperial court, how could she be too involved with Zong Zhenglu's henchmen at this time?
Besides, she was really afraid of being used, how afraid she was that it was just a conspiracy of Fu Shen, a bait he used to get close to her father.
She thought that Fu Shen must have seen her thoughts, because he hadn't come to her these days, and besides, she had to avoid him when she saw him, how could someone like him not see through it?
Huan Ci sighed deeply, and after the carriage stopped, he lifted the curtain and looked out.
If it was getting late today, only the lantern in front of the car would illuminate, so she could not see people in the distance. But they must have come to pick them up, after all, this place is extremely important, and there are usually few people coming.
Thinking that they must have to say more for a while, Huan Ci jumped down from the carriage and moved his legs. She was casually kicking her stiff leg when she saw a man walking towards her quickly.
Under her gaze, the man quickly walked up to her, looked at her quietly, and whispered "Miss Huan".
Huan Ci was stunned for a few breaths, and then remembered the man's identity.
"Kong Lin? Is that you? How did you get here? She grinned at the man, already guessing his current status based on his attire.
Kong Lin lowered his head and smiled, and said softly, "It's just that I'm stationed here with General Jin." ”
"I see." Huan Ci suddenly realized, "What about Li Jinxiu?" Where is he now? ”
"He's in the capital, aren't you from the capital?" Kong Lin looked at her suspiciously.
Huan Ci laughed, but his face was somewhat embarrassed. Her trip to the capital, to put it bluntly, was actually a three-day trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only did she not find out the information, but she was also caught on the spot by Zong Zhenglu.
She was about to argue with Kong Lin a few more words, when she suddenly saw Fu Shen a few steps away. Under the clear moonlight, the man was staring at this side with burning eyes, looking a little lost.
The corners of Huan Ci's originally raised mouth were flattened because of this, she hurriedly retracted her gaze, and said to Kong Lin with a smile: "Come into the city, I'm already tired." ”
"Let's go." Kong Lin stepped forward, "It's cold, you go back to the carriage first." ”
"Thank you for caring about me." Huan Ci smiled at him gratefully.
The man nodded, then turned around and went to the front, Huan Ci followed his line of sight, but Fu Shen's figure was gone.
She looked down and smiled bitterly, and turned to get into the carriage. But this time, Ah Yao stood in front of her, and raised her head in confusion, only to feel that Ah Yao's eyes were full of sadness under the moonlight.
"Girl, are you unhappy?" A-Yao asked softly.
Huan Ci smiled and shook his head: "How come?" I'm tired, I want to rest early, let's get back to the carriage. ”
With that, she stepped on the stool and got into the carriage, and Ah Yao followed her in, and sat on the side and looked at her intently.
Rao is such a familiar person, Huan Ci also felt uncomfortable after being stared at by her for a long time, she turned her head to look at A-Yao, and said lightly with thin lips: "What are you looking at me like this?" ”
"Girl, did you quarrel with Fu Sanye?"
"No, we didn't fight." Huan Ci shook his head.
"Then why have you ignored him for the past few days? I've seen him staring at you several times, but I haven't seen you talk to him. ”
Huan Ci raised the corners of his mouth weakly at Ah Yao, and said softly: "He just looked at me because Zong Zhenglu asked him to send me to Bingzhou." The two of us are not what you think. ”
"But that night you hugged each other!"
Ah Yao's voice suddenly rose a lot.
Huan Ci hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and said softly: "You stupid girl, you just hugged it, it's nothing." ”
Seeing that Ah Yao's mouth was gradually pursed, she instructed: "You are not allowed to tell others about these things, especially not to tell your father, you know?" ”
"Didn't you say it's nothing? Why can't you say it again? Ah Yao became more and more unhappy.
Huan Ci held his forehead, not knowing what to say to her.
"Why haven't you seen the UAE lately?" She looked for something to divert from the conversation.
Ah Yao was really fooled, her little face was almost wrinkled, and she complained: "It's just that he has been getting old recently, and he doesn't care about my sister at all." ”
"You say he always goes to Lan Fu?" Huan Ci's eyes lit up.
"Yes, as long as he is free, he will go to find Sister Lan Fu, and I don't know what he is talking about?" Ah Yao propped her head and said.
Huan Ci silently lowered his eyelids. This is really confusing, but it's a pity that she has always had something on her mind in recent days, but she didn't bother to find the United Arab Emirates. It's just that the UAE never came to look for her, which is really abnormal.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive at their accommodation. It was really hard here, and the place to live was very simple, and the garrison had originally come, so it was not enough to live now, so I had to choose the best courtyard to come out, and let her live in the east and Fu Shen in the west.
Huan Ci didn't think there was anything wrong, first, this was the best arrangement, and second, the courtyard was very large, and there were many accompanying people living together, so there was nothing strange.
After packing, she put on a coat and wanted to talk to the United Arab Emirates. However, the gate of the courtyard was closed, and no one was allowed to move around, so Huan Ci had no choice but to give up and move her to Lan Fu, who lived in the courtyard with her.
Lan Fu lived in the last room on the east side, and the lights were still on when he left. With a small smile on her face, she slammed the door lightly outside.
There was no movement inside for a long time, Huan Ci felt that something was wrong, and knocked on the door again, but this time no one responded. She was afraid that something had happened, so she quickly pushed the door and broke in, and just took two steps before she froze in place.
Fu Shen was also in this house.
It's just that something is wrong now. The man sat at the table, one arm resting on the table, staring at Lan Fu's head with complicated eyes. And Lan Fu knelt in front of him, his body was trembling slightly, but he didn't say a word.
Huan Ci realized that he had come at the wrong time, and this seemed to be Fu Shen exercising his power as a master.
As a person who has been held and raised since childhood, Huan Ci has never been angry because of the people in the family, and her father is also a kind person, so she rarely sees such a scene.
But now Fu Shen's serious expression actually made her hold her breath and wanted to quickly retreat from the original way.
"Humph!" The man suddenly snorted coldly, and immediately attracted Huan Ci's attention.
Huan Ci's eyes turned to him, but he saw that he was still looking down at the person beside his legs, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have this idea, it just so happens that his master is here, so it is better for you to follow her." ”
Lan Fu raised his head in surprise, and the next moment he rushed over and hugged the man's leg, shaking his head incessantly.
Fu Shen's face still did not ease, he moved slightly and brushed away Lan Fu's hand, and said coldly: "You will be her person in the future, if you don't want to, go and talk to her." ”
"It's not that you don't know that she can't speak." Huan Ci really couldn't look past it, and couldn't help but say loudly.
But Lan Fu shook his head at her and gestured to her not to speak.
Huan Ci was originally bored, but now he was unhappy again, and he was about to close the door and go out, but Fu Shen opened his mouth again.
"It's okay for you to follow me, and besides, I see that your heart is no longer here, in that case, you might as well leave here from now on."
Huan Ci thinks this is a good thing. Isn't it a good thing not to have to be a slave or a slave?
But for some reason, Lan Fu's head shook even more. Seeing her shed tears one after another, Huan Ci gradually lost her mind.
