Chapter 342: Hongying's Choice
"If you don't come again, the wine will be cold."
Gu Shiwei climbed up to the second floor of the martial arts hall, and when he saw Ma Hongying, he heard such a sentence.
She dusted off her robe and walked in easily, Ma Hongying sat in front of the smooth table by the window, holding a coarse porcelain wine bowl in her hand.
The room was empty, except for a table and two stools, and a boiled wine stove beside her lap.
Gu Shiwei sat down opposite Ma Hongying, picked up the wine bowl in front of him and took a sip, a spicy taste came directly to his head, and the moment he entered his stomach, it was hot.
Ma Hongying frowned slightly when she saw her, and turned the wine bowl in her hand, "I've been in the army for a long time, and I'm used to drinking spirits." The flower wine and fruit wine for the little lady to drink in this Bianjing City fade into a bird. ”
Gu Shiwei raised his eyes and looked at her a few times, seeing that she was dressed as a woman in the rivers and lakes, the whole person was much calmer and more restrained, and nodded thoughtfully.
"The wine is delicious, but if you drink too much, your hands will tremble."
As she spoke, she removed the long sword from her waist and placed it on the table, and the moment the scabbard met the table, there was a deep sound.
Gu Shiwei glanced at the sword meaningfully, "The difference is a thousand miles." ”
When Ma Hongying heard this, she rubbed her wine glass with a complicated expression, "Gu family affairs came to look for me, is it for Wu Jiang to be a lobbyist?" ”
Wu Jiang's mouth is endless, where do you need to find a lobbyist in one more move. He's all seamless, who can still interject it? ”
Ma Hongying was stunned for a moment, and laughed heartily.
"Wu Jiang is like this, like a child, always chattering endlessly. In the past, he was on the battlefield, and today he doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, everyone likes his lively temperament very much, at least he died suddenly on the battlefield, and he didn't feel lonely when he recalled his past before he died. ”
"But when I returned to Bianjing City, I felt that it was too improper, and it was as noisy as a crow."
"When I was a child, when Han Shiyan was reading, Wu Jiang was next to the monk chanting, and then he would call my name, Ma Hongying! I jumped up, grabbed Wu Jiang's ears and dragged them out, but Wu Jiang's screaming became even more annoying. ”
"Although Han Shiyan dislikes Wu Jiang, he doesn't like to sue, so we are not afraid of him. Han Jingyan is different, he is a living father, he will not only tell his parents, but also hold a bamboo stick to Wu Jiang to tell the truth for an hour. ”
Recalling the interesting stories when she was young, Ma Hongying was obviously much more relaxed.
She picked up the wine jug on the small stove, filled Gu Shiwei's wine bowl, added some to herself, and then picked up the wine bowl and touched it lightly with Gu Shiwei.
"Lord Zhang is really right, the two of us can definitely become very good friends."
"If Han Shiyan told me that you were a genius in swordsmanship, I would have rushed directly to your house to meet you, it would have been many years late."
Ma Hongying took a sip of wine and put the wine cup on the table.
"If you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any problem between me and Wu Jiang, but there seems to be something different."
The last time we separated, it was still the time of life and death, and the time of love was the longest.
Obviously, the time between them is not long, but she feels as if she has lived a lifetime, and she feels very strange when she sees the old people and old things in Bianjing again.
Ma Hongying had no way to describe such a mood to Gu Shiwei, because she couldn't tell it clearly.
She didn't know if she had gone far, Wu Jiang was still in that stone formation, or Wu Jiang had gone far away, but she couldn't come back.
Gu Shiwei looked at Ma Hongying's thoughtful appearance and did not interrupt her.
It wasn't until she picked up the wine bowl again and clinked glasses that Gu Shiwei said, "Did you finally figure it out?" Stonehenge matters. ”
The official family held hostage by Ma Hongying is just a stand-in, and the questions answered by the stand-in are naturally innumerable.
The person who ordered them to exchange them for the national seal was not an official family, Ma Hongying wanted to know this question, and she also wanted to know.
"In this world, you are probably the only one who can empathize with me. No one in my family wants me to continue to ask questions. When I went back last night, my aunt hugged me and cried all night, even with her dog, whimpering at the moon. ”
"Not only that, but also my sisters, brothers-in-law, brothers-in-law......"
When Ma Hongying said this, she smiled helplessly, "I almost thought I was dead again, and the people living next door almost got up overnight to find the mourning hall to mourn." ”
As she spoke, she raised her eyes to meet Gu Shiwei's resolute eyes.
"But at that moment, I suddenly figured it out."
Ma Hongying said, her confidence grew, and her eyes became more and more open-minded.
"Master Zhang is a very good person, he said in front of the official family that after I was rescued, he arranged for me to go undercover. This time King Qi rebelled, and I can be regarded as making a great contribution. In this way, I survived, but I did not return to the battlefield or Bianjing, so there is no need to be questioned about this matter. ”
"Your wish for meritorious service is to clear your father's grievances."
"I originally wanted to ask the official family what happened, but after the court this morning, I met the official family again in the imperial study."
Gu Shiwei listened carefully to Ma Hongying's words, everyone has a different path to take, and everyone has different choices when they encounter things.
No matter how Ma Hongying chooses, it is her own decision.
Ma Hongying shook her head, "I didn't ask that question. What if you ask? Even if it is, our Ma family can't do such a thing as killing the monarch and plotting rebellion, and my father will continue to guard Dayong and take root in the frontier forever. ”
"Until the day he dies on the battlefield, or when he is dying and can no longer lift his sword and gun."
"No matter what the answer is, those dead brothers will not come back to life, and I will no longer be able to stand on the battlefield with those sledgehammers."
Ma Hongying said, her eyes becoming more and more determined, "I think my comrades who died on the battlefield will also make the same choice as me." ”
"We were originally fighting for Dayong and for the peace of the people."
"Oops", Ma Hongying said, her eyes were a little red, she smiled, and said to Gu Shiwei, "When I was a child, my father always told me this, I was stingy and angry at that time, and I always felt that the old man was stupid and old-fashioned, and he was in the overall situation. ”
"I didn't know that one day I would say the same things as my father and make choices that seemed cowardly to me."
"Before today, before I met the official family in the imperial study, I didn't expect this."
Gu Shiwei listened quietly.
She didn't say anything, she knew that all Ma Hongying needed at this time was to listen to.
She happens to have a similar experience, but she is not as close to her as Wu Jiang and Ma Hongying's family, and she is the most suitable person.
"I didn't ask the question I wanted to ask day and night, risking my life."
"I asked for military merit for those brothers, and I asked for more compassionate examples for them. The dead are gone, and the living still need to live on them. ”
