Chapter 93 Showdown Explained
No way?
Again?
For Zheng Quqi, this ball of paper that she doesn't know where it came from is like a hot potato, and she can't wait to throw it away immediately.
In fact, she did.
She clasped her hands together, tore them apart with the cover of her soft sleeves, and then threw them little by little on the dark street.
Even if someone picks up some of the paper pieces that have not been blown away by the wind tomorrow morning, it is impossible to put together a complete sentence.
"Why don't you leave?" Yu Wensheng turned his face and asked her.
When he went downstairs, he put a gilt mask on himself to cover the upper part of his face.
After Zheng Quqi finished throwing it away, he pushed the wheelchair back to him: "No, I'm just a little tired and want to rest......"
He pressed her hand: "Are you tired?" Then don't push it. ”
"It's good to rest, it's rare that the two of us come out to play tonight, I want to see more." She smiled.
"Look, there's a bonfire dancing ahead." Zheng Quqi didn't want him to continue to pursue this matter, so he deliberately diverted the topic: "What kind of dance is this, why do they wear animal skins and shoes, and they still circle around the bonfire and hold torches?" ”
Yu Wensheng raised his eyes, stared at it for a moment, and said: "This is the Yilong dance, from the most primitive period, people have an inexplicable awe of the fire, they dance around the bonfire, one is to remember the ancestors to discover the grace of the fire, and the other is also to praise the flame." ”
Zheng Quqi nodded suddenly, but then asked: "In the middle of the bonfire, there is a woman who looks up to the sky and raises her hand, why?" ”
"Sacrifice."
"Sacrifice? Why sacrifice is necessary? ”
"If there is fire, there will naturally be water that is mutually restrained, but since ancient times, floods and disasters have caused the people to suffer, floods and droughts, and the people have suffered, so some people propose to sacrifice one person to the sky in the midst of the vigorous fire, so that God can protect the people."
When Zheng Quqi heard this, he immediately lost interest in this dance.
"Sacrifice human life to be blessed by the heavens? So why does it have to be a woman? ”
"It's just a group of ignorant people comforting themselves, as for why women, just because in the patriarchal world, women have always been just vassals, one less daughter, one less wife, one less sister, can be exchanged for more people's life stability, no one thinks it will be worthwhile."
Zheng Quchi didn't show much anger when she heard this, she only asked, "What about you, think the same way?" ”
Yu Wensheng thought for a moment and did not deny it: "If you are asking to exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit, and to achieve a certain goal by sacrificing, I think anyone will do it." ”
Zheng Quqi walked around in front of him, squatted down, and raised his little face: "Then if this person needs to be sacrificed, what if it is me?" ”
Yu Wensheng lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What are you talking nonsense?" ”
With him, no one dares to take her to the heavens.
"Fengmian, if the women in your mouth who are subordinate to men also include me, you will also think that it is worth taking a person's life in exchange for some kind of benefit?"
Seeing that she had to compare herself with others, Yu Wensheng was faintly moved: "Zheng Quqi, it won't be you." ”
She chuckled and said slowly, "What's so special about me, why can't it be me?" If you despise women as much as everyone else, then I will not be respected by others either. ”
When Yu Wensheng heard her words, he suddenly remembered that Fu Rong had said not long ago that how their subordinates would view Zheng Quqi was all about his attitude.
And now Zheng Quqi also feels that his attitude towards women in the world will treat her with the same attitude.
But in fact, Yu Wensheng is very fair.
The same is true of his words, both men and women, but of all men.
Only if she was his wife would make a difference.
He suddenly seemed to understand what she meant by her self-deprecating words.
Everyone has a special part in their eyes, but others can't see it, so what Zheng Quqi wants is not his approval, but wants women in this world to no longer be sacrificed and despised at will.
Seeing that he was silent, Zheng Quqi stood up, pretended to smile easily, and said, "Okay, I just sighed casually, this dance doesn't seem to be beautiful, let's go elsewhere." ”
The two continued to wander, Zheng Quqi saw the old man who teased the sparrow, a skill that had long been lost, and saw her eyes wide-eyed, laughing and clapping with others, and also saw the juggling young men and women, who were carrying bowls and tiptoes over the rope......
Along the way, she would communicate her feelings with Liu Fengmian from time to time, and would also ask him some things she didn't understand.
Although Liu Fengmian was not interested in these, she was infected by her high mood, and she kept smiling, forgetting about other things, and kept talking to her all the way.
At this time, another stranger secretly stuffed a ball of paper into her by taking advantage of the comings and goings.
Zheng Quqi froze.
She took a deep breath.
But this time, she didn't take any more action and threw it away.
"Fengmian, you wait for me here, I just ate a bunch of oil fruits, it seems that I have a stomach, I will go back." She made an excuse.
There are public toilets in the county, mainly to prevent people from indiscriminately causing plague mosquitoes.
Yu Wensheng was helpless: "Don't let you eat omnivores on the street, if you feel uncomfortable, go quickly." ”
She pushed him under the eaves, and the flow of people in this place was not "turbulent" and would not rush into him, so she ran away and opened the paper ball that I didn't know who had to tell her to see.
Under the long bridge, next to the willow embankment, there is no separation.
What?
The contents of the paper do not look like a code code for a fine joint, but rather like a man and a woman, who are about to be after dusk......
Zheng Quqi stared at it in surprise.
Could it be that this is the romantic debt that Sang Xuanqing provoked before? Anyway, since she crossed over, she hasn't provoked a man who would write her something like "see you or leave".
But she felt that it was unlikely, Sang Xuanqing clearly liked Moye, and she shouldn't be emotionally entangled with other men, so this should still be a code, but she didn't understand it.
Now the question is, is she going or not?
If you don't go, the other party's posture seems to be like this, and she will always send all kinds of people to secretly send her letters, and she will not let go.
Go, in case there's any trap in there......
She is now clearly Zheng Quqi of women's clothing, not Sang Xuanqing of men's clothing, and she can't figure out who needs to meet her in such a secret......
She glanced at Liu Fengmian's location not far away, if she refused to go, would she annoy the other party and break the net?
In the end, Zheng Quqi plucked up the courage to come to the arch bridge.
She thinks that the other party should not want to kill her, as for the rest, as long as she doesn't die, she can always think of a way to get out of danger.
Sliding from the embankment to the edge of the river, the bridge above pressed down a cold darkness, she was looking left and right, and the next second she was pulled in by the people who had been waiting there in the morning.
"Zheng Quqi, why did you only come here now?"
A young male voice shouted angrily.
She raised her eyes in fright, but saw a man in black, he was very tall, and his body was cold and cold.
Zheng Quqi has seen a lot recently, and it seems that he can barely distinguish the breath on other people's bodies.
He's ...... Just like an assassin, because he kills too much, his eyes are fierce, and there is a long-lasting evil aura lingering on his body.
People like Yu Wensheng or Qiu.
"You ......"
The man lowered his face, and in the darkness at the bottom of the bridge, there was a faint refraction of water, and he mocked: "Are you stupid? It's only been a few years, and you've forgotten who I am? ”
Sure enough, it's Sang Xuanqing's acquaintance......
“…… Child? ”
His gaze touched the very special crossbow he was carrying behind him, and Zheng Quqi suddenly remembered the name.
This is all due to Qiu's inadvertent mention, Sang Xuanqing and Ya's crossbow skills are tied for first place among the younger generation of the Mo family.
"Even if you have a conscience, you still remember my old friend who has been forgotten for many years." He stuck out his knuckles and tapped her head.
Zheng Quqi covered his head, but he was greatly relieved in his heart.
It seems that this guy has a good relationship with Sang Xuanqing, and he knows her identity as a woman......
"Why are you here?"
Although he asked like this, Zheng Quqi was not stupid, as soon as he learned that he was from the Mo family, he guessed the reason why he came to her.
"Ruler, tell me, what happened, why was Qiu caught by Yu Wensheng?" He grabbed her by the shoulders and wouldn't let her back down.
Aren't there so many others? Does he only care about Autumn?
"I don't know, I wasn't there at the time, they didn't trust me, so naturally they wouldn't arrange me to do some important things, I was only responsible for taking care of the aftermath and being a substitute for the dead." Zheng Quqi lowered his eyes and said lightly.
Hearing this, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, he opened his mouth, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
He let go of her, and his tone softened a lot: "That's it, if you don't know me, you don't know, but you have to help me rescue Qiu." ”
Damn, she knew that she couldn't escape the fate of being a second or fifth boy!
But she didn't rush to refuse, but asked tentatively, "Only save him?" What about the others? ”
Hearing her ask, he immediately looked at her with a helpless and speechless look: "I heard that you are all mature people in Yu Wensheng, don't you know that it is already a big disaster to be able to rescue a person from the hands of that living Yan Luo Yu Wensheng, and the others ...... Mo family's words can be discarded. ”
Of course, Zheng Quqi knew how terrifying Yu Wensheng was, but what she wondered was why the Mo family was obsessed with rescuing Qiu even though they could give up others.
"Who the hell is Autumn?"
He avoided her gaze: "I don't know. ”
No, he knew for sure, he just wouldn't tell her.
Zheng Quqi lowered his face coldly: "Then I can't help you anything." ”
But he said with a deep meaning: "Of course you can, do you think I came to you rashly?" During this time, I have heard the name Sang Xuanqing mentioned by key people. ”
Zheng Quchi angrily pushed him away: "So, are you trying to kill me?" It took me a long time to get rid of the suspicion at Yu Wensheng, and you just want me to change Qiu's life now, right? ”
Her expression froze, and then she grabbed her with her eyes: "Of course not, I just need you to provide an opportunity, and then I will do it, and then you don't have to do anything." ”
Opportunity?
If she knew about it, and then told him, and helped him save people, what about her?
Is Yu Wensheng that stupid? Can't find her as a suspicious person?
Zheng Quqi couldn't help but hate: "He, you know...... How did I get to where I am today? I was threatened by the Mo family for a while, and coerced by Yu Wensheng for a while, but neither side really trusted me, I could be abandoned by them at any time, and they sacrificed at will, what do you say I want? Is it because he has lived too long and has to go to death? ”
When he heard her say this, he hugged her distressedly.
Zheng Quqi wanted to struggle, but he listened to her solemnly.
“…… I'm sorry, the last time, you will help me this last time, from now on, I will no longer come to look for you, and after I save Qiu, I will go with him to ask for a grace from the Mo family, so that you can completely break away from the Mo family and live the free life you dream of. ”
When Zheng Quqi heard this, he was shocked.
She couldn't believe it: "You, can you really do it?" ”
She cupped her little face, bent down her thin waist, and said seriously: "Yes, Qiu is more important to the Mo family than you imagined, if you save him, you will definitely be able to achieve your wishes." ”
As if persuaded by the determination and words in his eyes, Zheng Quqi hesitated for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, his expression resolutely made a decision: "Okay, just this once, the last time." ”
——
Returning to Liu Fengmian's side, Zheng Quqi's emotions were visible to the naked eye.
"What's wrong with you? Still uncomfortable? ”
Liu Fengmian turned his head and asked her.
Zheng Quqi came back to his senses and remembered that he had just excused himself to walk away, but now he could only lie: "No, it's much better, it's just that it's too late, and I'm a little sleepy." ”
"Then let's go back." Liu Fengmian did not doubt him.
Zheng Quqi was a little worried: "Let's go back like this?" ”
Liu Fengmian smiled, and with a clapping of his hands, there was a black-covered and red-attached carriage, driven by a tall man wearing a hat.
He could easily arrange it all, and Zheng Quqi just watched silently.
She picked up Liu Fengmian and got into the carriage, and after the carriage moved, Zheng Quqi said: "Fengmian, it seems that since we got married, we haven't talked about each other's affairs, I thought you were just a person, without any background, or rather, you will marry me just because you need to find a place to shelter temporarily, so you chose me among many women who choose to marry." ”
She sighed a little disappointed: "But I only realize now that I was wrong, you don't seem to lack anything." ”
Yu Wensheng raised his cloud-like sleeves to his side, a faint dark fragrance spread, like a mist, he raised his eyes to look at her: "What do you want to ask?" ”
He made this arrangement on purpose, not only to satisfy her joy, but also to tell her his true identity at the showdown tonight.
Zheng Quqi was mentally prepared, and she asked directly: "Liu Fengmian, who are you?" ”
Yu Wensheng seemed to have been waiting for this moment, and his gaze swept along Zheng Quqi's eyebrows and face: "Before answering this question, can I ask you a question?" ”
"Absolutely." She immediately sat up.
"Have you ever heard of the name Yu Wensheng?" After he asked, his meticulous eyes did not let go of any trace of emotional changes on her face.
