Chapter 129: Haoxuan, the Outsider (26)
The footsteps came from the direction of the secret passage of Mount Emei, and the people who knew this secret passage were all my cronies. The distance between the visitor and the secret room was about five miles, and the pace was so hurried, it must have encountered something urgent.
Three Mile Road!
Two miles!
One mile!
I slowly picked up a teacup and poured a warm cup of tea for the visitor.
In a blink of an eye, the footsteps came behind him, "Subordinate Shayi, see master!" ”
"Hard work," I said lightly, "take a sip of tea." ”
He also listened to the words, and he was not polite, "My subordinates thank the master for the reward!" With that, he stepped forward to pick up the teacup and drank it.
When I saw this, I asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"There is news from the frontier, saying that Murong Fierce Wind has returned!" He looked at me and said respectfully.
I half-squinted, "Back?" Scold...... This old man is really good at tossing people! ”
After that, I asked, "What else did the people over there say?" Murong Fierce Wind went back this time, what was wrong? ”
"Back to the master, it is said that his body is a little weaker, and he looks thinner than when he left, and the rest is nothing." After that, Xie Yi hurriedly said, "However, this time I accompanied him back with an old acquaintance!" ”
"Who?" I raised my eyes and asked.
"Degree none!" He also hung his head and was very respectful.
"Du Wu......" I gritted my teeth and said, "It is the number one shadow who once followed his father and is now working hard for others!" ”
"Exactly! We have made several assassinations in the past few years, but they have all been undisturbed by this. His Kung Fu ...... Have no bottom! ”
"You're right," I said, holding the teacup tightly, "In the entire Forbidden City, there are only people who can match me!" ”
"Du Wu is old, experienced in a hundred battles, experienced and sophisticated, and naturally understandable. And the master is in the prime of life, a generation younger than him. can tie with him, which is much better than he was back then! The subordinates believe that with the master's ability, if time comes, there will be no defeat for the master's subordinates! ”
"Heh" I listened and sneered, "It's a pity, I can't wait for his age." ”
Du didn't see me like this, and lowered his eyelashes slightly, "Master, what should Murong Qiangfeng do now?" ”
"What should I do?" I sneered again, "Since my good father-in-law has returned, I naturally have to visit in person!" Otherwise, how can I show my filial piety? ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go and prepare!"
……
The disappearance of the evil came at the right time.
Although Qing'er had already given birth to a boy for me at this time, I desperately wanted to spend more time with her. But the queen mother's persecution of me in the past few days is really a headache. In addition, now that Qing'er has just given birth, she must be very happy to hear that people are very happy, and she will definitely go to Kunning Palace to visit from time to time. I show up a lot now, but I'm afraid I'll cause trouble.
Therefore, it is only appropriate to go to Murong Fierce Wind at this time.
When I left, I went to see Qing'er once. It's just that he didn't go to say goodbye to his mother. I just hurriedly left a short letter informing the queen mother where I was going, and asking her to take care of my son and children. First, I didn't want to see her sad face anymore, and I didn't want to listen to her nagging. Second, it can be regarded as expressing my attitude again.
However, since I have expressed my intentions, and the queen mother has promised not to touch half of Qing'er's hair now, then I can feel at ease when I go to the frontier this time.
……
I ran all the way to the frontier with Sha Yi and the others, day and night. Five horses died on the way, and they were able to reach the frontier within two months. However, what I never expected was that Du Wudu was still by Murong Qiangfeng's side and had not yet left.
Scold!
What a good person, he knew that the people around him were only incapable of fighting with me, so he even sent him out. Isn't he afraid, will I take the opportunity to take his life? Or am I no longer a threat to him?
Hum!
Just wait!
It's time to clean up people, I won't let anyone go! And now, let's start with Murong Qiangfeng, my good father-in-law!
Since I've come looking for you many times, it's up to you to behave. If you give me that martial arts secret, I will allow you to survive in the frontier. If you don't give it to me, it's all right. Anyway, you've been back to the capital and you've seen Qing'er. Even if you want to die now, I'm afraid you will have no regrets in this life.
……
Because Du Wu is a person in the Forbidden City, and his skills are on par with me. So, I don't want to go head-to-head. First, he didn't want to waste his physical strength, and secondly, he was afraid that he would expose his identity and provoke Qing'er's resentment.
So, I settled down in the frontier and waited for Du Wu to leave! But who knows, this Du Wu didn't seem to be in a hurry to return to the palace, but lived extremely comfortably in the mansion of Murong Gale Frontier. He went in and out with Murong Gale every day, so I couldn't find the slightest opportunity to start.
So, I waited another month, and just when my patience was about to run out, I finally found an opportunity.
On this day, the people from below came to report. said that Du Wu packed up his baggage, left Murong Mansion early, and went to the direction of the border. He packed a lot of baggage, and at first glance he knew that it would take some time to return.
After I got the news, I immediately found an opportunity to infiltrate Murong Mansion. And, I had a candle night talk with Murong Spirit.
"What are you going to do?" At this time, Murong Gale no longer has the vigor of the past. The kind of heroic and powerful momentum on the battlefield has long been worn out by the bitter cold of the frontier.
He was very thin and still had a wound on his leg for some reason. A pair of eyes, although bright, but cloudy.
The only thing that remains unchanged is a sense of righteousness in him. The waist pole is straight, and the proud bones are still there. is not afraid of danger, giving people the illusion of immortality.
At this time, he was sitting firmly in a shabby chair. The eyes that looked at me were very detached and helpless, and it was obvious that I was not very welcome.
"I haven't seen him for a few years," I just pretended not to know, and walked straight to him and sat down, "I panicked at my father-in-law, so I came to take a look. After that, I asked again, "I wonder how my father-in-law has been doing all these years?" ”
Murong Liefeng looked away, not bothering to look at me, "Aren't you very clear how the old man is doing?" Could it be that the lackeys you sent to guard the old man's family outside did not pass on the news to you in time? ”
"How so?" I raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Although they are useless, they still have the ability to deliver messages." If not, how could I have come in such a hurry that my father-in-law had returned to the frontier? ”
"If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace, and if you have something to say, just say it."
"It's nothing important," I glanced at Murong Qiangfeng and said lightly, "I just heard that my father-in-law experienced a storm a while ago and went back to the capital all the way back." Therefore, I came over to ask, what did my father-in-law gain from going back this time? ”
After that, he said, "By the way, when you met Qing'er, I don't know if you noticed Qing'er's stomach?" Your daughter, she is very competitive. In addition to the clouds and cranes, there is also a grandson added to you during the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
Hearing this, Murong Liefeng's body trembled obviously, "The old man doesn't understand what you're talking about." ”
"In front of Yichen, why is the father-in-law pretending?" I sneered and said, "I understand what you've done in the past few years, and what you're thinking in your heart." And you, you've never been a master who pretends to be confused. Although there is no blood relationship between our father and son, the love is still there. Something spread out may be good for each other. ”
Hearing this, Murong Liefeng turned his head and looked at me coldly, and asked, "Yichen?" Scold...... Old man, look at it, it's you who pretends to be confused! Since you call yourself Yichen, the old man asked you, do you remember what surname the old man gave you when he named you Yichen! ”
"Naturally, I remember," I replied lightly, "Murong Yichen, I have been using this name for nearly thirty years. ”
"Murong Yichen, what a Murong Yichen!" Murong Liefeng stared at me, "I'm ashamed that the old man gave you a name, but he failed to teach you properly!" So much so that now, the old man doesn't know whether to call you Yichen, or the eldest prince! ”
"As long as the father-in-law likes it, he can call it whatever he wants." After that, I hooked my lips again and smiled, "Murong Yichen is me, and the eldest prince is also me." For me, it doesn't make a difference. ”
"No," Murong Liefeng took my words stiffly, "There is a natural difference between the two!" ”
After that, he stared at me deadly, and the sadness in his eyes was so similar to Qing'er, "If you are Murong Yichen, you are the old man's righteous son!" It was the old man who risked being beheaded all over the house, rescued from the pile of dead people, and taught his son for many years! As for the eldest prince, not only does he have nothing to do with me, but on the contrary, he is still a dead man who has been away for nearly thirty years. ”
"Why did the father-in-law bother to drill this bull's horns?" I sneered and shook my head slightly, "Even if you use your mouth to divide the relationship between Murong Yichen and the eldest prince so clearly, you can't change the blood flowing in my body, and you can't change my true identity." ”
With that, I took out the letter written by my mother to Murong Galore a year ago from my arms, and said, "I am grateful to my father-in-law for rescuing me in that situation, giving me a name, and giving me another identity to raise me to adulthood. However, in the end, I am still a person in the royal family, and there will always be a day when I will recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. And this day is not far off. ”
After finishing speaking, I gently put the letter on the table, and moved it to Murong Fierce Wind with my middle finger, "The queen mother and I remembered my father-in-law's life-saving grace and nurturing grace back then, so we specially left an excellent opportunity for my father-in-law. As long as my father-in-law still remembers his old feelings, he can take Yusheng and others back to Beijing with me at any time. ”
"You go back" My voice fell, and Murong Fierce Wind said arrogantly, "You and your mother's thoughts are clear to the old man, but if you want the old man to help you, it's simply wishful thinking!"
The old man has been fighting and killing on the battlefield all his life, and he is only loyal to the court! No matter what kind of grievances you have with the former emperor, it is a matter in your royal family, and it has nothing to do with the old man! Since the old man came to this frontier, he never planned to go back. ”
"Why did the father-in-law speak so much?" I knew he would say such things, so I wasn't surprised. He just moved the letter further forward and said, "Don't you want to see what is in this letter?" I don't want to know, if the girl you were tempted by when you were young is now thinking about you? I don't want to look back, when you and her flowers were under the moon, a / night husband and wife? ”
After that, I added, "This is a letter written by the Queen Mother herself a year ago." It's a pity that when I came to look for you, you were already on your way to the capital. ”
Murong Liefeng listened and glanced at the letter. It's just that he didn't pick it up after all, "The old man is now a person who is about to see the Lord of Yama, and the things of his youth are too far away, and the old man can't remember it clearly, and he doesn't want to look back on it." ”
Seeing this, I half-squinted, "What if I tell my father-in-law that the queen mother mentioned Qing'er in my heart?" Is the stepfather still so stubborn that he refuses to open this letter? ”
Qing'er is Murong Gale's Achilles' heel! It was, and it is!
Sure enough, when I mentioned Qing'er, Murong Liefeng's indifferent and indifferent eyes finally fluctuated. I didn't speak, just watched him quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.
About touching, after the time of a stick of incense. Murong Fierce Wind finally opened the letter quietly and read it carefully.
I carefully observed Murong Qiangfeng's expression, unwilling to let go of the slightest expression of his expression.
I have read the letter written by the Queen Mother.
In addition to some old things, there are blood and tears sprinkled in it. The letter is full of the hardships and grievances of the queen mother in the past few decades. And about Qing'er, it's just a few short sentences.
But those few words were enough to set off the turbulent waves in Murong Qiangfeng's heart.
"You guys! You guys! After Murong Liefeng finished reading the letter, he slapped the letter on the table! Then, pointing at my trembling words, "You actually threaten the old man with Qing'er's future!" ”
"It's not a threat," I smiled faintly, "It's just that Qing'er was careless and put some tricks in our hands." ”
"You guys! Your mother and son are really getting more and more delusional now! Murong Liefeng clenched his fists and asked, "The old man once saved your life and raised you to adulthood." Everything Yusheng has, the old man will do his best to give it to you! I don't ask you to know that you will repay the favor, but I ask you to let go of the hatred in your heart, leave behind the identity that has long been shackled, and live a better life.
In this way, it is not worthy of the old man's promise to your mother, and it is not worthy of being with your father and son for so many years! Unexpectedly, you are not only like your mother, but you are carried away by hatred. For the sake of this impossible cause, Shangqing'er is involved!
Even if you are not related to the old man by blood, you are the old man's righteous son! Qing'er, she ...... She's your little sister anyway! How can you use her as a bargaining chip to threaten the old man! ”
"Father-in-law, don't be excited" I saw that he was a little excited, so I smiled and comforted him, "I know that Qing'er is my sister, so I have taken care of her in every way in the past few years." So, the stepfather doesn't have to worry. It's just that you know the queen mother's temperament, she doesn't have much patience. ”
