Chapter 533: Two Women (Page 1/1)

Wash up, eat, read some poems, burn incense and practice... Even in the border city that is already in the war zone, Xiao Shufei's daily life and daily work seem to be no different from those in Jiankang City.

Even if it is a quiet courtyard where she lives, the layout is very elegant, and even the flowers and plants are according to her preferences.

However, since many days ago, when it was impossible for Chen Baoyun or Qi Zhuji's letters to reach her, she knew that after the incident of the Chen family's military division, her situation was completely different from before.

She knew very well that her greatest significance to her family was not her existence as a practitioner, but that in many cases, she could be the basis for some kind of strong covenant.

In countless dynasties in the past, the marriage of many princesses was the most important means of enveloping power.

No matter how much her parents love her, they won't change this fact.

And she knows better than anyone that her father Xiao Hong's biggest problem is not because of stinginess, but because he will never disobey any opinion or attitude of his imperial brother, Xiao Yan, the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

In the eyes of all the people of the Southern Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty is, of course, the Southern Dynasty of all people.

But in her father's eyes, the Southern Dynasty was, of course, his imperial brother's Southern Dynasty.

Everything he did was not for the Southern Dynasty, but to maintain the rule of his imperial brother.

This is the most fundamental difference in position.

Lin Yi was never on his list of choices.

For him, Lin Yi's existence means that she has the possibility of disobeying him.

If it weren't for her absolute restraint, he wouldn't have just sent someone to warn Lin Yi that day.

Now Lin Yi is the most intolerable thing for his father, in addition to this, it is not Lin Wangbei's relationship, but Lin Yi and the Chen family are close.

The power of the Chen family is awe-inspiring.

The Chen family was a powerful force that the Southern Dynasty had to rely on at this time, but it was enough to pose a threat to the Xiao family.

So she knew very well that even if there was a big battle going on between the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty at this time to decide the fate of the two dynasties, in his father's mind, I was afraid that the Chen family was the biggest threat.

If it is only based on the right and wrong of something, it may be possible to try to admonish and reverse, but the fundamental problems caused by temperament and position are unlikely to change in the slightest.

So when she returned to Jiankang City to say goodbye to Lin Yi and come to these border cities at the alumni meeting that year, even when she held the same recommendation letter as Chen Baoyun in her hand, her emotions were very complicated.

She just wanted Lin Yi to live her life peacefully and happily, not being swayed by this kind of war and conspiracy between the powerful, but she had the longing and hope of a girl in her heart.

She also wanted Lin Yi to become strong enough, strong enough to change her family's mind.

She had a hard time deciding.

But in the end, Chen Baoyun handed over the recommendation letter to Lin Yi one step ahead of her.

She knew that it was impossible for Chen Baoyun to know her thoughts, and it was impossible for her to know what she wanted to do but was still making difficult choices, so the humble and weak Lin Yi was not worthy of becoming a pawn of the Chen family, so this could only be attributed to providence and fate, and had nothing to do with the struggle between the Chen family and the Xiao family.

But all the next developments are out of her control, and they backfire on her.

Lin Yi shined in Meishan, became the general of the Tiece Army, and then became the master of the Sword Pavilion... But it seems to be getting farther and farther away from the Xiao family.

When Chen Duru happened, she cut off almost all sources of information from the outside world.

Now in the camp hundreds of miles away from her, even the low-level generals already know very clearly about the battle that is happening in Zhongli City at this time, and they know that Lin Yi, who she cares about, is fighting in Zhongli City at this time, and is blocking more than 100,000 Northern Wei troops like a mantis arm, but she doesn't know.

She doesn't even know whether Lin Yi is alive or dead now.

She couldn't even ask.

If asked, no one would tell her.

She had never been envious or jealous of others in the past.

But when she was pampered here but lived like a year, she couldn't help but envy Chen Baoyun.

At least she has a brother who is very reassuring and important to her family, and she doesn't have to take on too many things.

Towards noon, a little maid walked into the secluded courtyard with a food box.

She didn't have many special requests for food, so it wasn't until long after the little maid had left that she opened the food box and wanted to eat as casually as usual, but when she saw some of the snacks in the food box, her brow furrowed deeply.

Among these sweets is red bean cake.

Red bean cake may be the only pastry she doesn't really like, because when she was a child, a paid servant tried to poison her and her mother.

She hadn't seen the servant killed, but she could hear the servant's desperate screams as he was killed.

The sound of dying faintly came from a long distance after covering his mouth and nose.

The people who prepared food for her were all trusted cooks brought from Jiankang City, and it was impossible not to know her likes and dislikes.

It stands to reason that this is absolutely impossible to see something in this food box.

She took a deep breath, and when her fingers landed on the red bean cake, she sensed something strange inside.

She gently broke open the red bean cake and pulled out a volume of secret documents inside.

When she saw the content recorded on this thing and saw Lin Yi's name, her heart beat uncontrollably.

.......

Big boats sail on the water.

On the deck, a man was sitting upright, he looked like he was only six or seven years older than Lin Yi at most, but his expression was serious and square, and he looked extremely calm and old.

Opposite him, there was a girl in Tsing Yi, who was Chen Baoyun, who Xiao Shufei occasionally felt jealous of.

"I can still understand the military strength of the Ming Wei Army, but even General Du's troops have been held down... What does that mean?" asked Chen Baoyun with a deep frown as she looked at the man across from her.

The man had been looking at her fixedly, and the more he looked at her, the more he sighed.

Hearing her at this time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, "My sister... You and I haven't seen each other for years, and when we meet, that's what you question your brother?"

"You can see you if I want to, but some people don't see it, but they may not see it again. Chen Baoyun looked at her brother Chen Baxian and said.

"To tell the truth, the Mingwei border army can be adjusted as much as I want, but at this time, it is too sensitive, I can't let the person on the dragon chair in Jiankang City think that our Chen family really ignores his will, so at this time, only Xiao Hong can mobilize the Mingwei border army. ”

Chen Ba got serious first and said: "But this is not the main reason, the key is that if the Golden Crow Rider obeys my command, I will not even be able to let the Golden Crow Rider go." In my father's and my opinion, before Wei Rui's army arrived, smashing any army past Zhongli City would be in vain. ”

"That is, at this time, we must always consider maintaining the wings of the Chen family?" Chen Baoyun sneered.

"Not all, but I, like many people, feel that we must cooperate with Wei Rui to defeat Yang Lu's army at the lowest cost. Chen Baxian looked at Chen Baoyun's somewhat angry eyes and said, "Sister, everyone's life is equally important, your classmates are, and so are my subordinates." ”

"You're right. ”

Chen Baoyun calmed down and said, "So I'll rush to Zhongli." ”
