Chapter 90: Under the Cherry Blossom Tree
"How did you know I was in Prince Gong's palace?"
In Zhang Beiwang's secret hideout, that is, in the house behind the small restaurant guarded by the old man who was always dozing, Ling Ye asked Zhang Beiwang the question in his heart.
Although he has a good impression of Zhang Beiwang and is willing to believe in "him", it is unreasonable not to think it is strange why people can know their whereabouts and show up to rescue him in such a timely manner.
Zhang Beiwang smiled and picked up the teapot and added some hot tea to his teacup: "Brother Ling, your tea is cold, don't patronize and ask questions." ”
The two were sitting under the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting. The imperial capital is called Chong Sakura, cherry blossoms are planted all over the city, and six trees are also planted in this secret hideout of Zhang Beiwang, at this time the flowers are blooming brightly, the pink cherry blossoms are blooming on the branches, and the faint fragrance wafts to the nose with the wind. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the cherry blossoms tremble slightly, and some petals fall with the wind, adding to the scenery.
Ling Ye nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but still looked at Zhang Beiwang, wanting to know the answer.
Zhang Beiwang smiled and said, "I already knew that you wouldn't stop if you didn't ask for a clear understanding." In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you this, the reason is very simple, I have always been very concerned about Brother Ling's affairs, so I am quite clear about Brother Ling's school attack on Prince Gong's rescue of farmers, a hoe to shoot down Chiye's wind falcon, and the edict to engrave and humiliate Lu Tianming. Brother Ling looks a little younger than Zaixia, and he has just arrived in the imperial capital, but he has done one after another great feats, which is sincerely admired and admired by Xia. ”
Although he had indeed done these things, Ling Ye was still a little embarrassed when he heard Zhang Beiwang say this: "This ...... Ahem...... None of this is a ......."
Zhang Beiwang smiled and said: "It's nothing, Brother Ling, you have always been either in the Marshal's Mansion or the General's Mansion, or then in the Imperial Prison, and you finally came out and had to hide and recuperate because of your injuries, so you don't know how people outside praise you." Brother Ling, I won't tell you anything, at this time, your name has already spread, and I dare not say that the entire imperial capital knows about it, but half of the people in the imperial capital have heard of your heroic deeds and name. ”
Midnight: "......"
Zhang Beiwang smiled again: "The dignitaries and nobles may not be optimistic about you, and they may still think that you are a troublemaker, but there are seven or eight out of ten people who praise your name and deeds. If it weren't for the great admiration, who would have praised your name?"
Ling Ye was even more embarrassed and his face was about to turn red: "This ...... Can you not say it?"
Zhang Beiwang sighed: "Okay, then don't talk about it." All in all, I admire Brother Ling's personality very much, and I know very well that in the imperial capital, especially when dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles, and especially offending Lu Tianming, you will definitely have a hard time, so I have always wanted to help you, so as not to be killed by people like Lu Tianming early. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, let alone a strong wind like Lu Tianming?"
Ling Ye nodded: "I have long sensed that he is deeply hostile to me, and I have already figured it out, Hu Kuan and the others I killed before are all his comrades, and I am considered to be bad for him, so I will naturally become a thorn in his side." ”
Zhang Beiwang smiled and said: "That's right, so I've been hiding in the shadows and secretly observing Lu Tianming's actions, so I know so many things." Hehe, Lu Tianming hates you so much, he always puts your name on his lips, and even curses you in his dreams, and I don't know how many times he has cursed you. Brother Ling, you won't feel uncomfortable, will you?"
Ling Ye shook his head: "No." Since Lu Tianming hates me so much, and his actions are so dirty and vicious, I feel very honored to be the person he always curses. ”
"Oh?"
"Because it shows that what I've done has hit him quite hard. If you hate someone, it's useless to just curse on your lips, you can always can't do the bad things that the other party wants to do, and you can't sleep well when you hate it, that's the real hate. I'm glad I did. ”
Zhang Beiwang smiled and said, "What Brother Ling saw was amazing. It's a pity that you don't drink alcohol in Xiaxia, and you can't compete with the same spirit as you drunk a large group of wine bags and rice bags alone in the Marshal's Mansion, so you can only replace wine with tea here, and toast Brother Ling with a cup!
Ling Ye accompanied him for a drink. Zhang Beiwang poured tea again and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Ling, after you left the Imperial Prison, you broke into Chiye's house at night to find him and was stabbed by him, and I also knew about it, but I was just a step late, and you were already injured when you arrived." Therefore, Zai Xia and Xiao Mi'er set fires everywhere in his house, forcing him to disperse people, regardless of the tail. It's a pity that when I wanted to rush to help you, you were rescued by Tian's seniors. After thinking about it, he didn't catch up, and still kept it in secret, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Chiye or even Lu Tianming, so as to help you again when necessary. ”
Ling Ye nodded and arched, "Thank you, Brother Zhang! If it weren't for your secret help many times, I'm afraid my little life would have been confessed to the imperial capital a long time ago." ”
With a snap, Zhang Beiwang unfolded the folding fan and shook it a few times, and said with a smile: "Since you admire Brother Ling, how can you not help? This is a matter of willingness, Brother Ling doesn't have to worry about it, let alone say anything more thanks." Being able to meet someone like Brother Ling in a filthy place like the imperial capital already feels that this life is in vain. ”
Ling Ye's face turned red again, and he said with a bit of a stutter: "You...... You ......"
Since he always felt that Zhang Beiwang was actually a woman, how could the young man's heart not pound when he heard such a girl say such things under such a splendid cherry blossom tree? For a while, he only felt that he was so hot that he was so excited that he almost fainted.
Zhang Beiwang looked at him with those delicate eyes, and smiled slightly: "Brother Ling, are you uncomfortable?"
Ling Ye finally calmed down, coughed, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay!"
Zhang Beiwang grinned, gently shook the folding fan and said, "In my opinion, you probably still have a lot of questions in your heart, for example, what you want to ask when you break into Chiye's house at night." In private, Brother Ling wanted to ask him why he appeared on the side of the eastern suburbs school so coincidentally that day, came over to attack you so coincidentally, and finally caused you to be captured, right?"
This was indeed something that Ling Ye was very concerned about, and he immediately calmed down and said seriously: "Indeed, I have always had such a question in my heart, I don't know who is secretly planning to frame me?"
