Ning Xin began to speak softly, from the night she and Zhang Fu missed together after Qin Ke left Jingwu, to the later war, when Zhang Fu left, she guarded the poor and free life alone, and then to every month she went to the temple to pray for Qin Ke, and finally talked about the appearance of Xue Gong's son.

"Actually, I really felt like I couldn't hold on anymore...... You are not in Jianye, and there are no other relatives of mine in this world, although I remember what you said before you left, I went to find Lu Gongzi, but the answer I got was that he went north with the army to the border, and I didn't want to bother Miss Zhang, in fact, ......"

"Xue Gongzi himself is very well-behaved, but his subordinates ...... In order to make me agree to marry Xue Gongzi, I always try my best to find trouble for me on weekdays, such as guarding in front of the door, once I see me go out, I will follow me all the way to make trouble, so that people are afraid, and finally even I go to buy some rice and do not invite the shopkeeper to see, for fear of causing some trouble. ”

Ning Xin said, took out a dagger from her body, and showed a self-pitying smile: "Do you remember this dagger? You bought it for me to defend yourself before you left, and I have never let it leave my side since then, even when I got on the sedan chair." ”

"After leaving Jiujiang City, I knew that there was no way back, and I thought...... It's a big deal to die with that Xue Gongzi......"

Speaking of this, Qin Ke felt Ning Xin's hands tremble incessantly, and her face turned pale, so he subconsciously held her shoulders with both hands.

"It's all right now. Sister, the future will be fine. ”

Qin Ke was also a little guilty, in fact, he should have thought of these things a long time ago, Ning Xin and Zhang Fu were just weak women, in a huge Jianye city, without relatives, where could they really live a comfortable life......?

Perhaps it is precisely because of that experience that she will cherish her own honor even more, even more than her life.

Ning Xin felt the warmth conveyed by Qin Ke's hands, her eyes were full of tears, and she smiled faintly: "Yes." It will all be fine in the future. Since you took me out of Jiujiang City, I just felt so, I never thought that there would be someone in my life who would do this to me, not only to get rid of my nationality, but also to let me be an ordinary person with dignity, just ......"

She clenched her fists, took a deep breath and said, "Ah Ke." Sister doesn't dare to ask you for anything, you have done too much for me. But if you can, can you leave me alone......?" The feeling of looking forward to it, but it seems that I can't catch anything, it's really too hard. ”

"Hmm. Please rest assured that my sister is this. Qin Ke nodded vigorously, but after thinking about it, he said with an apologetic expression: "But I will continue to search for my master's whereabouts in the future, and I am afraid that I will have to leave for some days." But sister, don't worry, I will definitely come back, and when I find Master, we will go home together, well, although my home is in the mountains, it is not as big as here, but it is better to be calm and peaceful, and among the neighbors, uncles and aunts are very good. ”

Of course, Ning Xin knew that Qin Ke would not stay in Jianye all the time, but when she heard Qin Ke's promise, after all, it was as if a little light had lit up in the long night, and she finally nodded.

The two talked softly for half an hour, and under Qin Ke's relief, Ning Xin finally untied the knot in her heart, and spoke briskly, the candle flame on the table swayed gently with the wind, and a bowl of egg porridge that was not too full was also packed into Qin Ke's stomach.

"Is it delicious?" Ning Xin was satisfied, and when she saw that Qin Ke was so satisfied with her craftsmanship, she also laughed.

Of course, Qin Ke was also very happy, and even felt that he might be able to give Cai Yan a taste in the morning, but Ning Xin saw his thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Miss Cai's is indispensable, you don't eat much in the school office these days, and come back and my sister will cook it for you." ”

After speaking, Ning Xin picked up the bowl and said hello: "Then I'm leaving?"

"Uh-huh. Qin Ke responded with a smile.

Who knew that Ning Xin's eyes changed slightly, and she suddenly leaned down, leaned into his ear, and said in a voice with a burning breath: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much, from the day you ransomed your sister, my sister has been your person for the rest of her life, even if she has no reputation, it is no big deal." ”

Qin Ke's eyes widened, but he only felt the cold strands of hair pass through his ears, and then the shadow had already opened the door and went out, and it seemed to let out a little laughter.

Three days later, Zhang Mingqi got married.

This is probably the happiest thing that Qin Ke felt after returning to Jingwu, even if he was sealed as a school, he couldn't compare with it, most of the students of the Taixue Hall went, and even high-ranking dignitaries like Wang Zhu should be present at the time.

However, Qin Ke heard that Wang Zhu has indeed been very close to the building recently, since the battle of the dry river, these two people have the appearance of brothers in life and death, although fights still occur frequently, but compared to the earliest incompatibility of fire and water, these disputes are more like fights between good friends.

And Qin Ke was also the first time to see the girl Zhang Mingqi liked, although it was just a glimpse behind the fan, the delicate but extremely ordinary face was smeared with red rouge today, as if he had found the gaze coming from all sides, so he had to show a clean and simple smile.

The happiest person in the audience was probably Zhang Mingqi's father.

This big businessman, who used to dominate the officialdom of Jingwu, has already shown his old age after the great changes, with gray hair, wrinkles at the corners of his cheeks and eyes, and a bit of vicissitudes.

However, today he was dressed in a red and black silk shirt, and his previous demeanor seemed to have been regained a lot, and when he sat on the seat in the high hall and received the tea, the pleasure in his chest was almost overflowing.

This is the woman his son married, a woman who is not rich and not of noble birth.

However, now he feels that these are no longer problems, and he still remembers that when he was not yet developed, he married such a woman, and then he had Zhang Mingqi, and his son will continue to carry the Zhang family forward in the future, and move forward in a dignified manner. ”

Back to basics, but that's it.

"Send it into the cave room!" As the building shouted loudly, the students of the Taixue Hall in the field were boiling, what "etiquette" and "rules", all of them were thrown out of the clouds at this moment, and a group of people rushed towards a pair of newcomers like a flood, and several tall ones even erected Zhang Mingqi completely.

"Ouch, this ...... This...... This ceremony is not over yet, what kind of system is this, Master Zhang, look at this ......" The master of ceremonies was also dumbfounded when he encountered such a thing.

Zhang Mingqi's father smiled hehehe, shook his head and said: "The children are happy, let them go, there will be no shortage of your money for a while......"

Before he could say this, he suddenly coughed, his whole shoulder trembled, his chest cavity seemed to have been broken, and the cough was a little hoarse, until he reached out with a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and he could not stop the sound that was not suitable for the situation.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the veil, which was bright red, like those big red characters in this hall.

And he was expressionless, as if nothing had happened, and directly gathered the handkerchief into a ball, stuffed it back into his arms, and soon his face was full of smiles again.

"Uncle?" Qin Ke stood not far away, clearly hearing the wail coming from the scarred chest, he was probably the first person to notice the abnormality.

Zhang Mingqi's father found Qin Ke's concerned eyes, and smiled very freely: "It's nothing, I've been sick for a long time, it's just scary to look at, you young people go and make trouble, I'm an old bone, don't mix with it." ”

Qin Ke looked at Zhang Mingqi, who was thrown into the air all at once, and nodded, also planning to go over and have a few drinks with this friend.

Someone suddenly grabbed his wrist from behind.

Qin Ke turned his head a little strangely, and recognized the person as the school government by the light of the red candle, so he followed him and walked towards the outside of the hall without saying a word.

"Gong Wu has a move. It wasn't until he walked outside the hall that the person from the school administration said the information, and after roughly explaining the traces of Gong Wu's exit from the Gao Mansion tonight, he bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "The detective lieutenant asks your Excellency to return to the mansion as soon as possible and arrange the next move." ”

This is probably the first time in these days that Gong Wu has had abnormal movements, Qin Ke subconsciously held his breath, and vaguely, he had already smelled a trace of unknown strangeness.

The matter of Xia Ran involves the smuggling of armor, and the smuggling of armor is very likely to be a rebellion by someone in Jianye......

"I know, I'll go say hello, you wait for me here, let's go back together. Although Qin Ke really wanted to have a drink with Zhang Mingqi, things didn't wait for anyone at the moment, and it was not inappropriate to get together again in the future.

And just as he walked into the hall, several exclamations also sounded at this time, and then many people called "Uncle, uncle!", and finally Zhang Mingqi's terrible cry like a wounded beast, Qin Ke's heart sank, and he probably guessed what was happening.

Uncle Zhang died of illness.

This middle-aged man who was involved in the dispute between the court and the scholars, and finally was copied from the family wealth, first suffered a heavy mental injury, and then suffered some punishments in death row.

But tonight, perhaps because he saw his son finally get married, his heart also relaxed, so he fell asleep like this.

There was still a hint of a smile on his lips, quiet as an infant child.

Back to basics, all to dust.
