Chapter 5 Like a Man Drinking Water
Wan Songxuan is divided into two inside and outside, separated by a bamboo curtain in the middle, but there are a total of three wings inside, connected by a corridor, Lu Qi lives in the largest of them, the other two wings, one as a study, which is full of books, antiques, dazzling, and the smallest is the residence of the servant, from seeing Ximen Rin, Lu Qi returned to his bedroom, took off his cloak, sat in front of the dressing table, and looked at his figure in the bronze mirror in a daze, a pair of eyes that were originally clear as autumn water leaked out of a blank mood for the first time, people are not plants, who can be ruthless, Luo Chengyu's affection She is not completely unconscious, regardless of talent and temperament, Luo Chengyu is the husband that women all over the world dream of, so what about himself, will he also sink into the world's ****.
Eyes fell on a stack of guqin scores placed on the dressing table, Lu Qi couldn't help but reach out and open it, only a few glances, I felt that the melody solidified in the thin yellow bamboo paper seemed to linger in my heart, most of these piano scores are made by famous pianists, in addition to some of the conventions of the mark, there are many marks that may only be known to them, although so, after all, they are all connected with the piano theory, just painstakingly study, you can sort it out, during this time, she is almost sorting out these piano scores, it can be said that they forget to sleep and eat, and these piano scores are the ancient scores given by Luo Chengyu。 However, in a moment, Lu Qi's originally somewhat disordered state of mind had regained her clarity, feeling the light feeling of her fingers rubbing these well-maintained papers, and only the sound of the piano was left in her heart, and the seven emotions and six desires in the world were like clouds of smoke, and she could no longer set off the slightest ripple on her heart lake.
I don't know how long later, someone knocked on the door, Lu Qi was already addicted to the score, holding the score in one hand, and gently plucking the other hand on the platform, as if playing the invisible Yaoqin, so he didn't respond at all, but the person who knocked on the door seemed to have expected this situation, so he just knocked a few times and pushed the door open. The door opened, Zhong Bo walked in with a few plates of snacks and a pot of hot tea, glanced at Lu Qi, his eyes leaked a look of dissatisfaction, and put the tray in his hand on the table in the room, Lu Qi raised his head, turned his head to look at Zhong Bo, and said, "Zhong Bo, what's wrong, you are so angry?"
Uncle Zhong said with a calm face: "Miss, the old slave has already persuaded you, that is, no matter how good the piano score is, it can't be eaten as a meal, the diet of these **** is much worse, and it was not easy to eat half a bowl of rice tonight, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World does not know his own respect, and he can't linger so late, and the young lady can't sleep peacefully, this is spread, how can the young lady's reputation exist, if it is not for the young lady who resolutely does not allow the old slave to talk more, it is the axe and the axe, and the old slave will also discuss right and wrong with him." Forget it, Miss has a reason for these things, and the old slave doesn't want to say more, this is the old slave's supper that has just been made, and Miss must eat two more pieces. ”
Lu Qi sighed lightly, put down the piano score, walked to the table, picked up a piece of pine nut cake and took a bite, and then said with a happy face: "Uncle Zhong, your dim sum is getting better and better." ”
Uncle Zhong's face was still not good, but his tone had softened a lot, and he said a little proudly: "Of course, although Sister-in-law Chen has been in charge of eating and drinking all these years, but the supper at night is cooked by the old slave himself, doesn't Miss like the soup cakes made by the old slave the most?" And in the past two years, the old slave has learned a lot of ways to make dim sum from Zijing's child, hehe, although the child is not very clear, but the dim sum made is extremely delicious, the second lady has always been greedy, even Miss You are very fond of it, but unfortunately now the two of them don't know where they are, Miss, have you asked His Royal Highness?" In just a few words, Uncle Zhong's expression has changed several times, at the beginning of the mention of Sister-in-law Chen, the face could not help but leak regret, although I have learned about the rebellious behavior of the Chen couple that day, but after many years of getting along, how can there be no old feelings, and then when it comes to soup cakes and dim sum, it is quite proud and complacent, obviously the only satisfaction of this proud soldier with blood-stained hands in the past is to get the trust and dependence of the two young ladies, the last sentence is said, but his face is slightly red, obviously quite ashamed.
Lu Qi's bright eyes can see the end of the day, naturally he will not miss the change in Zhongbo's expression, and he can't help but smile secretly in his heart, thinking that this roundabout words took countless thoughts of Zhongbo.
Since arriving in Xindu, Lu Qi has lived in Wan Songxuan, and Zhongbo naturally follows closely. The location of Wan Songxuan is very special, this pine forest covering an area of nearly ten acres is located in the east direction of the middle of the county lord's mansion, the west side is the Fengtai Pavilion, when the county lord's mansion was built, someone originally proposed to cut down this pine forest, build a palace here, but was vetoed by the county lord, retained the original appearance of the pine forest, only opened up several roads in the forest, and built Wan Songxuan in the middle of the pine forest as a place for Qing repair, but the county lord of Huofeng has always been busy with military affairs, and there is little time to stay in the house to recuperate, this Wan Songxuan has hardly been used since the day it was built。 After the lord of Huofeng County married into the royal family, Luo Chengyu entered the Xindu County Lord's Mansion, he respected his adoptive mother very much, and naturally he would not change the architectural pattern of the mansion, but he almost always handled official business in Fengtai Pavilion or the study, and occasionally had leisure, and most of them would spend time with his subordinates, and rarely had time alone, so Wan Songxuan was almost forgotten.
After Lu Qi arrived, Luo Chengyu took a fancy to Wan Songxuan's unique position in the middle of the noise, so he placed Lu Qi's master and servant here. Although Wan Songxuan is in an important place, but because of the pine forest, and there is no noise of cars and horses, Lu Qi is very quiet, can concentrate on tuning the piano, reading the Golden Sutra, and Luo Chengyu is mostly in Fengtai Pavilion during the day, if you want to visit Lu Qi, you only need to pass through the pine forest to come, it is very convenient. Of course, Wan Songxuan also has other benefits, outside the pine forest, there are mostly important places in the house, and they are heavily guarded, so Lu Qi and Zhongbo can walk freely in the pine forest, but it is difficult to get out of the pine forest, which invisibly restricts the actions of the two, after all, with the martial arts of the two, they want to come and go freely in the county lord's mansion where the masters are like clouds, but it is difficult to climb to the sky. Although this meaning is vague, Lu Qi can naturally understand it, but her temperament is a little bit casual, she simply stays at home, but she is also quiet and comfortable, although Zhongbo is dissatisfied, but after all, he has been Yin Tianwei's confidant and personal guard, so naturally he will not tear his face, and he can feel at ease with this kind of life similar to house arrest on the surface. It's just that in this way, the two of them are isolated from the outside world, and they don't even know what is going on inside the Xindu County Lord's Mansion, let alone want to know the news of Yang Ning and Qingping. Fortunately, Luo Chengyu was very considerate and thoughtful, and the news that Qingping had successfully escaped, as well as the news that Ximen Rin had taken Yang Ning back from Wu Heng, the king of Dian, did not hide Lu Qi. It's just that in the past six or seven days, Luo Chengyu suddenly stopped mentioning things about Yang Ning and Qingping, and met Ximen Rin in Wan Songxuan tonight, but he never saw Yang Ning's figure, and Qingping's life and death are unknown, how can this strange situation not worry this loyal old servant? What's more, Lu Qi understands in his heart that although he is the eldest lady and Qingping is the second lady in name, the three of them all know that only Qingping is the blood of the Yin family, so the loyal uncle who is loyal to Yin Tianwei, although he respects Lu Qi more on weekdays, but his selfishness is inevitably more biased towards Qingping, otherwise he would not agree to let Qingping escape from Liyang by pretending to be himself that day, he doesn't understand that this has put Luqi in danger, but if Qingping can escape safely, for this old man, he is already satisfied. At this moment, Uncle Zhong's implication was to ask Lu Qi to ask Luo Chengyu about the news of Yang Ning and Qingping, but if an accident really happened, then Lu Qi's questioning could only cause the deterioration of his situation.
Although he understood Uncle Zhong's thoughts, Lu Qi did not have a trace of dissatisfaction, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, no news is good news, since Qingping has left Liyang, she must have met with Zijing at this moment, as long as the two of them are together, I won't worry." Zijing has a lonely temperament and is not deeply involved in the world, but Qingping is smart and intelligent, well-read and knowledgeable, with Qingping by her side, Zijing has help, she will not be willful and cause a big disaster, Qingping is good, but it is too strong, and it is easy to break, I was very worried, but Qingping also inherited the gentle and stoic temperament of her stepmother, once she has a concern in her heart, she will not despise life and death as before. You can rest assured, although the two of them are too stubborn, they are both blessed and long-lived, or there will be many tribulations, but there will be no danger to their lives. ”
Zhongbo was relieved to hear this, in addition to the rhythm, Lu Qi was most proficient in the star divination and fate, and he didn't say it lightly, since he dared to make such an assertion, he must have a great certainty, and his heart was wide, and he was even more guilty, and he didn't know what to say. Seeing this, Lu Qi said softly: "Uncle Zhong, don't be upset, Lu Qi understands your mind, if Lu Qi's life and death are unknown now, you will not be happy, over the years, although the master has treated our sisters with great kindness, but his old man has been in retreat all year round, if there is no care from you, where is our sister today?" What's more, after the death of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Uncle Zhong was ordered by his father-in-law to take me and Qingping to hide in the rivers and lakes, if Uncle Zhong's uncle has a little disagreement, since he knows that his father-in-law will hand over the treasure to me, he will coerce Lu Qi to hand over the treasure, instead of more than ten years as a day, with hard work to take care of our sisters. Speaking of this, Lu Qi's eyes were already faintly filled with tears, and he stood up and pulled up Zhongbo's hands, the muscles and bones of the palms were covered with dense old scars, Lu Qi choked and said: "I still remember that Zhongbo's hands were originally only holding swords, and he reluctantly learned to cook for the sake of our sisters, most of these scars are knife wounds and burns, Zhongbo is now doing so good dim sum, but what Lu Qi misses most is that when we just left home, Zhongbo finally made the bowl of soup cakes, that is still the first time Zhongbo cooked." ”
Uncle Zhong only felt as if there was a warm current in his heart, and unconsciously burst into tears, remembering that when he left Jiangling, he was really at a loss with the two young ladies, and he still didn't understand why the general would hand over the two young ladies who loved him like pearls in his palm to such an ordinary guard who had nothing to do. That difficult time, I still feel unbearable to look back on, I was repeatedly chased and killed by the enemy, the gold and silver were scattered, the two young ladies were hungry and cold, and the enemy was still in hot pursuit. Now that things have changed, the two young ladies have fallen into the grievances and disputes between the princes, if there is any accident, it will be difficult for him to see the general and his wife even if he dies, thinking of this, he is even more determined, now Miss Qingping has probably escaped safely, so even if he riskes his life, he must protect Miss Luqi's safety. Thinking of this, Uncle Zhong couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Miss, the life of the old slave was originally given by the general, if the young lady has a plan, there is no need to care about the life and death of the old slave, as long as the young lady can be safe and happy, the old slave will die without regrets." ”
Lu Qi understood what Zhongbo meant, but she knew in her heart that no matter how the two of them sacrificed their lives to fight, it would be impossible to leave the letter, unless Luo Chengyu was willing to keep his promise and let her go after three years, but although she was not completely sure, she also felt that Luo Chengyu was not a bully, let alone a person who did not keep his promise, so she did not plan to forcibly get out of trouble. What's more, in her mind, whether it is the detention of Wan Songxuan or on Dongting Lake, there is no difference. So he just picked up Uncle Zhong and persuaded him politely, until he let go of his mind and ate a few more snacks in a row, so that the old servant left the room satisfied.
After Uncle Zhong left, Lu Qi felt restless, she originally ate a small amount of food, just now in order to comfort Uncle Zhong, barely ate some more snacks, only felt very uncomfortable in the stomach, thought about it, got up and walked out of the bedroom, to the front hall, found that there was no one in the hall, presumably Luo Chengyu had gone back, or thought that he had gone to bed, so he didn't bother again, Lu Qi's heart was wide, and he pushed open the Xuan door, wanting to breathe fresh air in the yard.
As soon as the door opened, the cold night breeze blew in her face, Lu Qi couldn't help but shrink her body, she had a deficiency disease, and suffered from displacement in childhood, so her body has never been very good, although after worshiping under Mr. Qingjue, Du Qing has to recuperate with wonderful hands, and still has not fully recovered, the Heavenly Demon Sword Dance, she plays the piano, Qingping uses a sword, although it is caused by temperament, but it is also limited by the body, and she has to do it, not to mention that the injury suffered that day has not completely healed, so she especially can't stand the wind cold, but the heart is agitated, and she can't sleep, so she can only brave the wind and cold to breathe。 Standing in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, the stars are obscure and difficult to distinguish, as if the trend of the world, although the situation is unknown, but it is already turbulent, the wind and clouds are turbulent.
When Lu Qi was indulging in the changes of the galaxy, she suddenly felt a warm shoulder, and a big piece happened to wrap her, Lu Qifang was shocked, although she lost her vigilance in the stars, but let others approach herself silently or should not be, and was about to look back, a familiar voice came from her ears: "The two places are in autumn, looking at each other and the galaxy." Miss Luqi is missing Ling Mei and Zijing? It's just that the night is cold and cold, so Miss should be careful about her body. ”
Lu Qi's heart was wide, and he calmly wrapped the royal blue big coat tightly, and said lightly: "A few days ago, His Royal Highness once told Lu Qi that every ten days, regardless of rain, snow, wind and frost, His Royal Highness has to go to the school to pawn the army, and it is nearly four days at the moment, since there is still a pawn tomorrow, why hasn't His Highness gone back to rest?"
The man behind him chuckled, stepped forward, stood beside Lu Qi, raised his hands to the sky, looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed: "It's okay, there is nothing wrong with sleepless all night, not to mention that I can't sleep, the high place is cold, think about it, there is only Miss Lu Qi in this mansion who can let me talk freely, so I left those guards to come back to see you, they only let me go back to rest, there is no trace, no one will notice the abnormality, I will go back before dawn." ”
Lu Qi frowned slightly, for some reason, she found that the person's tone was a little more desolate than when she first saw her tonight, as if she had infinite thoughts, looked sideways, and saw Luo Chengyu's handsome face, but Luo Chengyu was alone, and the originally inseparable Lian Wuxian had gone nowhere, and Luo Chengyu's eyebrows were really faintly lonely and sad. Lu Qi couldn't help but tremble, these days, she and Luo Chengyu often see each other, I only feel that this Royal Highness the Prince is so calm and calm no matter when and where, even if he spent the real yuan to save himself that day, and his vitality was greatly damaged, I have never seen him so depressed, I don't know what happened, it would make this high-spirited His Royal Highness the Prince so broken. Thousands of times in his heart, Lu Qi finally couldn't bear the wisp of concern in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Why did Your Highness say this, Your Highness is the son of King Yan, and at least seven points of the military and political power in Youji is in the hands of His Highness, but within a year and a half, His Highness is about to inherit the throne of King Yan, in today's world, if you talk about the position of power, there are only two or three people who can be compared with Your Highness, not to mention that Your Highness has not yet reached the year of the weak crown, there are already such achievements, and the future is even more limitless, what is the height of the cold?"
Luo Chengyu smiled bitterly: "Miss Luqi is to promote me, not so much that Chengyu has monstrous power in his palm, but that Chengyu is already the target of the public, although Youji is strong and strong, but there are countless internal and external troubles, but the throne of King Yan in front of him may not be able to inherit safely, and in the end, most of them are swords and soldiers, and the disaster will cause Xiao Wall, not to mention that the court and other vassal kings are only afraid that they are eyeing each other, who does not regard me as the biggest threat? In this case, Chengyu wants to make a difference, but I am afraid that it is difficult to climb to the sky." ”
Lu Qi wondered in her heart, although Luo Chengyu said the truth, but on weekdays, when he saw His Royal Highness the prince acting, lifting his weight like a light weight, and talking and laughing, how could he be so discouraged by these pre-existing facts? Could it be that something unbearable happened to make him like this? Lu Qi has also read the book of sages, knowing that the heavens will descend on the Si people, it is inevitable to suffer their minds, although the world is difficult, but His Royal Highness first got the teachings of the county bishop, and there are Mr. Wu, Ximen Commander such a humerus auxiliary around, and there are countless loyal to His Royal Highness's civil and military generals who are willing to die, even if there are difficulties and obstacles, as long as they are united, why worry about the great cause?
Luo Chengyu laughed bitterly when he heard this, stopped laughing, and then sighed: "What is unity, the commander of Ximen was ordered by me to bring Zijing to Xindu, but on the way, he did not hesitate to join forces with Jiang Ning, under the red cliff, he tried all kinds of means to kill Zijing's life, but fortunately, the sky blessed Zijing, Zijing had to help her sister, and both of them were safe and sound." Commander Simon is indeed loyal to Chengyu, and even did not hesitate to cut off the teacher's affection for this, disappoint his mother's former kindness, and kill his mother's only blood, but until today, in front of this son, he still refuses to reveal a word, and even does not hesitate to be a villain, self-destructing reputation, and even the lies that slander Zijing can be said, I just hope that I will not interfere in this matter. The so-called matter is only loyal, he has committed the taboo of his subordinates, but Chengyu can't blame him, just because although he hid the truth from me, but a sincere heart is learned from heaven and man, if this son reveals this matter, he is afraid that he will only have a death to apologize, but such a painful and hateful thing, how can Chengyu bear to do it. ”
Lu Qi first learned that Zi Jing was in danger, and her heart went up and down, until she learned that Zi Jing had escaped from danger, and Qingping and him had already met, she was relieved, but when she heard Luo Chengyu reveal Zi Jing's identity, she couldn't help but look abrupt, a pair of bright eyes flashed with vigilance, although her expression tried her best to maintain calm, but her frowning eyebrows had already revealed the uneasiness in her heart, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked casually: "Why did Your Highness say this, although Zijing once assassinated His Highness, what does it have to do with His Royal Highness the County Lord?"
Luo Chengyu's expression was a little lost, and he said gloomily: "Even Miss Lu Qi has to hide something, Mr. Wu has carefully taught Chengyu military and politics over the years, is in charge of Fengtai Pavilion, and is Chengyu's henchman, but he clearly knows what Commander Ximen has done, but he helps him hide Chengyu, and would rather let Chengyu bear the charge of ingratitude than tell Chengyu the truth." Even Miss Luqi, who didn't know Zijing's true identity, never mentioned it in front of Chengyu. Mr. Wu and Commander Ximen are because they prefer Chengyu, so they refuse to let Zijing's appearance disturb the situation in Youji, why does Miss Lu Qi refuse to say that Zijing is Chengyu's brother-in-law, the only heir of the Lord of Huofeng? Could it be that in Miss Luqi's mind, Chengyu is also an unscrupulous person for the sake of power and wealth, and will do fratricidal things for her own future?"
Lu Qi's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly: "Your Highness, is this questioning Lu Qi? How can Lu Qi know Zijing's life experience? Although Zi Jing has been with our sisters for nearly two years, he suffered from soul disorder, and he did not recover his memory until a month ago, he has experienced many tribulations, so our sisters have never asked about the past that will make his heart ache, but what kind of character is the county lord, if Zi Jing is really her son, even if he is not amazing, he should be both civil and military, and he will never be so naïve and ignorant. If Zi Jing is really the blood of the county lord, even if they are loyal to His Highness, they will not be so ruthless and want to take Zi Jing's life, right? His Royal Highness must have misunderstood something, or His Royal Highness is grateful for the kindness of the county lord, so he is so eager to find the blood of the descendants of the county lord. ”
Luo Chengyu stared at Lu Qi who was talking eloquently, a strange light flashed in his eyes, how many faces does this woman have, when they met for the first time, Shuangjue was forcibly invited to him, the fortune and misfortune were uncertain, Qingping was sad and angry, but Lu Qi was indifferent and calm from beginning to end, her speech and demeanor were neither humble nor arrogant, as if she was just a guest, even if she heard that Zijing didn't know whether she was alive or dead, she was only slightly moved. In Liyang, Lu Qi sacrificed himself to help Qingping escape, a song of the Heavenly Demon Qin, almost red into ashes, jade beads sinking, the kind of moth to the fire like a brilliant make him unforgettable, that is, at that time, he really moved his heart to this woman, and like a spring silkworm spinning silk, layer by layer into a cocoon, can no longer be unraveled. After arriving in Xindu, he was confined in Wan Songxuan, and the kind of bitter loneliness and dusty situation was enough to consume anyone's arrogance, but this woman was like an empty valley and an orchid, left behind and independent, even though it was within reach, but I felt that this woman was like a mirror, after all, it could not be climbed, even if we often met, I only felt that there was ten zhang of red dust between the two, and the end of the world was close at hand. But now, perhaps it has touched her bottom line, this delicate and beautiful woman like a white lotus in the wind actually retorted violently, and her words were sharp and thoughtful, without missing the slightest flaw, if she didn't already have real evidence, I am afraid that I would believe her words.
A light smile leaked from his lips, but his handsome face seemed to have a layer of frost, making that smile seem to be frozen by the cold, Luo Chengyu said coldly: "Miss Luqi doesn't have to bother to defend them, if Chengyu doesn't have real evidence, how can I be sure that Zijing is my righteous brother." Yes, outside the Ximen Lord, Mr. Wu is in the Lord, Yan Shanwei and Fengtai Pavilion are under their control, and it is easy to conceal a seemingly unimportant information, so they dare to deceive the son of the world, but they have forgotten that there is also the Military Intelligence Department, although the Military Intelligence Department is under the jurisdiction of the king, but over the years, Chengyu has not neglected the operation of the Military Intelligence Division, although he can't control it freely, but it is still easy to get some information from the side, so what is happening under the red cliff, Chengyu already knows it. Commander Ximen and Mr. Wu were clever but mistaken by cleverness, and the folds they had cut could be said to be covered, which made Chengyu suspicious, so the moment Commander Ximen returned to Liyang, the cronies I sent had already secretly met with the only four of the eight Yanwutang disciples who went south with him. Although they all belong to Yan Shanwei, but in their minds, after all, this son is their master, so they know everything, they say everything, and before the Ximen Commander arrives in Xindu, the most important evidence has been handed over to me. After that, Luo Chengyu already had an extra book with a plain white cover in his hand and handed it to Lu Qi.
Lu Qi frowned and took it, but it was a hand-copied Book of Mountains and Seas, read the five laws on the title page, and did not react to the unfamiliar handwriting, turned the page, as soon as he saw the handwriting of the paper with iron and silver hooks, Lu Qi's body trembled slightly, and immediately recalled that in the past when he was waiting for pen and ink by the teacher's side, he had seen dozens of well-preserved old letters, and the handwriting on the top of the Book of Mountains and Seas in front of him was seven or eight points similar, especially the divine will between the skimming and hooking, it was actually similar, and those letters were letters between the lord of Huofeng County and Mr. Qingjue to discuss important military and political affairs。 Although she was shocked in her heart, she didn't show the slightest panic, she just calmed down and turned the pages one by one, and only after reading it did she say lightly: "It's indeed a good word, but what can this prove?"
Luo Chengyu said in a deep voice: "A Book of Mountains and Seas really can't explain anything, but if Miss Lu Qi knows that this scripture is written by Zi Jing, and the handwriting on the title page is written by Commander Ximen himself, and Zi Jing's handwriting is quite similar to the handwriting of her stepmother, she should understand what these mean." Although the world is so big, there are no surprises, anything can happen, Xuanjie, the descendant of the martial arts sect who has disappeared for many years, may reappear, and even leave a mantle heir, this person has a common enmity with Youji, and the words of the commander of Ximen are indeed possible, after all, with his cleverness, he will not deceive this son with such a bizarre statement, so it will make others believe it. But if Zijing's handwriting is so similar to that of her stepmother, no matter how you cover it up, it is already ironclad evidence, and the words of the commander of Ximen no longer have any meaning, connecting all the information, Zijing's identity is already obvious. ”
Lu Qi sighed lightly, and said coldly: "Since His Royal Highness thinks so, Lu Qi has nothing to say, although a book of mountains and seas as evidence is inevitably a little weak, but such a thing, as long as His Royal Highness approves it in his heart, he can come up with some counter-evidence, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not change his mind, but even so, why does His Highness think that Lu Qi also knows Zijing's life experience?"
Luo Chengyu smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, I didn't think about this, but I was a little puzzled why Miss Lu Qi was so decisive, although the two young ladies were invited in the past with some force, but Chengyu asked himself to be very respectful, and promised not to hurt Zijing's life no matter what, but Miss Qingping did not hesitate to seriously injure her newly recovered body, and would rather cross the Yellow River at night than escape from the control of her son, and Miss Lu Qi almost lost her life, which is really unreasonable." If it comes to the origin, the two young ladies are disciples of Mr. Qingjue, and they should be inclined to Xindu, and Chengyu is confident that he is not a disappointing lord, so why do the two young ladies insist on escaping, even at the cost of their lives. Miss Qingping and Zijing are relatively close, and it seems that there are forgivable circumstances, but Miss is a smart and wise person, why did she also make such a ridiculous move? These days of getting along, Miss may not have noticed that she had never asked about Zijing and Miss Qingping, if it was someone else, or Miss was too cold, but Chengyu knew that Miss was really a person who valued love and righteousness, and this desire to cover it up made Chengyu even more suspicious. So after I learned Zijing's identity, I had already figured it out, Miss must have known Zijing's true identity, and I was worried that once he came to Xindu, this son would harm him for the sake of power and wealth, so I ordered Miss Qingping to escape to protect Zijing, and then never mentioned Zijing, lest this son find out this secret, I don't know if Chengyu guessed wrong. ”
Lu Qi was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Your Highness has said it so clearly and clearly, if Lu Qi still doesn't admit it, I'm afraid that Your Highness will also look down on Lu Qi, yes, I already know Zi Jing's identity." Originally, Lu Qi had no intention of inquiring about other people's life experiences, until Zi Jing entrusted my sister to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness once had a history of Lu Qiyan and Zi Jing's acquaintance in Xuanyuan Terrace, and also mentioned Zi Jing's words and deeds in listening to Tao Pavilion, and Lu Qi was suspicious. Thinking back to the past, with the words he leaked, coupled with the time when Zi Jing appeared, Lu Qi suspected that Zi Jing's identity was the Nine Highnesses from the county lord, although there was no evidence, but Lu Qi was already very sure in her heart. In fact, this is just Lu Qi bystander Qing, if His Royal Highness is not in the game, I am afraid that Zijing's identity has already been confirmed, so why do you need this Book of Mountains and Seas as evidence?"
Luo Chengyu said gloomily: "You are right, if it weren't for my luck, I could guess Zi Jing's identity just by his words and deeds, Zi Jing is really not good at concealing his identity, in fact, he has a bright wind in his chest, but he actually didn't deliberately hide anything." It's just that why Miss Lu Qi refused to tell Cheng Yu, but asked Miss Qing Ping to escape to rescue Zi Jing, and refused to let him meet in Xindu, could it be that Miss Lu Qi really thought that Cheng Yu was a ruthless and unrighteous person?" Speaking of this, Luo Chengyu was already a little violent, and it was obvious that Lu Qi's distrust was a very heavy blow to him.
Luo Chengyu has been in the top position for a long time, coupled with his natural temperament and demeanor, once he is angry, few people can resist his anger, but Lu Qi's expression is faint, as if he did not see the raging anger in Luo Chengyu's eyes, his eyes are clear and cold, without the slightest emotion, and he said indifferently: " Lu Qi is not suspicious of His Royal Highness, no matter what His Royal Highness thinks in his heart, if Zijing's identity is revealed, His Royal Highness is murderous in order to appease people's hearts or his own reputation, and on the surface he will also make a gesture of brother and brother, although Zijing is young and ignorant, but he is talented and intelligent, if he has my sister's help, even if he is embattled, he has a chance of winning one or two. Lu Qi is worried about the strict orders of the county lord of Huofeng, as far as Lu Qi knows, His Royal Highness the county lord has a very strict attitude towards Zi Jing, I am afraid that the last thing in the world that Zi Jing and His Royal Highness want to fight is His Royal Highness the county lord, once Zi Jing breaks his promise and enters Youji, I am afraid that His Royal Highness has not moved his murderous intentions, and the old department of the county lord has already acted, and now it is not confirmed Lu Qi's idea? In fact, His Royal Highness is so depressed today, presumably not for Lu Qi's distrust, you and I have never known all our lives, even Lu Qi does not believe in His Royal Highness, and it is understandable, presumably it is not for the encroachment of the Ximen Commander, not to mention that the Ximen Commander does not want His Highness's position to be unstable, and a piece of loyalty can be expressed every day, that is, the Ximen Commander really has a heart of disobedience, I am afraid that His Highness will also try to eliminate this confidant trouble, instead of giving up on himself so much, if Lu Qi thinks well, His Royal Highness will be so sad because of Mr. Wu's concealment, right?"
Luo Chengyu's original expression gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Miss Lu Qi is really extremely smart, yes, although Ximen Rin is also ordered by his stepmother to assist this son, but a rebellious character like him is impossible to follow the rules, although Chengyu is the son of King Yan, but after all, he is not the blood of the county lord, and the storage position seems to be safe and dangerous, and a courtier who is only a promise is of little use to me, so I don't mind Ximen Rin's transgression, as long as this son has enough bearing and mind, Ximen Rin must be a loyal minister and a good general." But Mr. Wu is different, since I can remember, all my daily life, learning and practicing martial arts are arranged by my stepmother, but if there is no Mr. Wu in this, exhaustion, Chengyu would not have today's achievements, in Chengyu's mind, my stepmother naturally has the grace of reinvention to me, but Mr. Wu is a loving father and good friend, Chengyu never doubted that he would betray and hide from me. But with the appearance of Zijing, even Mr. Wu began to change, even if it was because of his preference and loyalty to the son of this world, Chengyu would not be the slightest happy because of this. ”
Seeing Luo Chengyu say this, the sadness between her eyebrows became more and more intense, and her heart trembled, and she couldn't help but comfort: " His Royal Highness is a fan of the authorities after all, Mr. Wu may not believe His Royal Highness in doing this, His Royal Highness also said that Mr. Wu and the commander of Simon were ordered by the county lord to assist His Highness, and now His Royal Highness has not inherited the throne, perhaps in their minds, His Royal Highness is not the real lord, they may not be doing this in accordance with the will of His Royal Highness the county lord, Lu Qi guessed, once His Royal Highness ascended the throne, Mr. Wu and the Ximen Commander will not transgress like this time, why not relax your mind and wait for the next day to verify Lu Qi's judgment today?"
After Luo Chengyu heard these words, his expression gradually calmed down, although Lu Qi could still find the sadness in the depths of his eyes, but he could no longer see the obvious emotional changes, presumably these words really said to Luo Chengyu's heart, so he regained his former grace and calmness. Seeing that Luo Chengyu had calmed down, Lu Qi also had a trace of imperceptible joy in her heart, seeing that the starlight was gradually dimming, she saluted and said: "Your Highness, the night is already deep, Your Highness might as well go back and rest, since Zijing has escaped, if His Highness really wants to talk about brotherhood, it will be a long time to come, His Highness still doesn't have to worry so much, if Mr. Wu and they learn about it, I am afraid that they will be embarrassed, and there will be dislike between the monarchs and ministers, why bother?"
Luo Chengyu said the distress in his heart, and was comforted by Lu Qi, only to feel that most of the depression in his chest had dissipated, he was originally the heir carefully cultivated by the Lord of Huofeng, as long as the knot in his heart was solved, his thoughts immediately became cheerful, and after a little thought, he had come up with countless ways to deal with the situation in front of him, looking at Lu Qi's slightly reduced beautiful face, he only felt love and pity, and his heart moved, and he took off a piece of moist and radiant Hetian jade from his waist, handed it to Lu Qi, and said gently: " Miss Luqi, Chengyu is in a bad mood today, disturbing Miss to sleep peacefully, I heard Uncle Zhong say that Miss has been quite uneasy about her diet and daily life recently, this jade is given by her stepmother, and it can best be used to calm her face. ”
Lu Qifang's heart trembled, although she and Luo Chengyu have not known each other for a long time, but they also know that this piece of Hetian beauty jade is Luo Chengyu's inseparable ornament, today Luo Chengyu gave jade to each other, the deep meaning of which is obvious, and her heart turned back and forth, and finally made a decision, and said lightly: "Your Highness can know Lu Qi's life experience?"
Luo Chengyu was slightly stunned, these days, although Lu Qi has always been indifferent and alienated, but he can also feel that Lu Qi is not very rejecting himself, and even has moved his heart, tonight the two of them have a heart-to-heart conversation, and they have already known each other, originally thought that Lu Qi would not refuse, but at this moment he saw the determination in Lu Qi's eyes, his mind gradually sank, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: " Cheng Yu knows a little bit about it, and today's Ximen Commander also mentioned that the two young ladies are the daughters of General Yin Tianwei Yin, and he also mentioned that he hoped to get the formation diagram of the Seven Evil Fish and Dragon Formation from the young lady. ”
Lu Qi recalled her life experience, and couldn't help but leak an indifferent smile, and said: "Your Highness must be unbearable to say more, Qingping is indeed surnamed Yin, but Lu Qi doesn't know what his real surname is, Yin Tianwei is just Lu Qi's father-in-law, and he is also the enemy of Lu Qi who killed his father and took his mother, although Lu Qi knows it, but he has never thought of revenge, and he regards his righteous sister as the only relative in the world. ”
Luo Chengyu's heart was even colder, he could see that Lu Qi was not really nostalgic for his life experience, the grievances and grievances of his father, but he was afraid that in the eyes of this woman, it had already disappeared, this was just an excuse to refuse marriage, if it was another woman, he would naturally laugh at it, and he would never reluctantly ask for it, but after thinking about it again, he felt that Lu Qi's shadow had been deeply rooted in his heart, and he was silent for a moment, he said lightly: " Although Chengyu is the son of King Yan, he was originally just an ordinary boy, but he was favored by his stepmother, so he had today's glory, Miss Lu Qi has both good looks and appearances, if she is willing to bow down and marry, it is Chengyu's honor, Miss or dissatisfied Chengyu has a marriage contract, Miss Fang is General Zuo's beloved daughter, and she is virtuous, and she will definitely not treat Miss lightly. ”
Lu Qi Dai frowned lightly and said: "Miss Fang was born in a famous family, presumably she is gentle and virtuous, and she can be a good match for His Royal Highness, but Lu Qi refuses His Royal Highness's good intentions, but it is not entirely because of the unknown origin, Lu Qi's stepmother, good music and rhythm, Ya Hao Zheng, once vowed to collect the music scores of the lost folk, but the fate was bumpy, and she could not get her wish, so she had died. His Royal Highness's mind is thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and his ambitions are ambitious, but Lu Qi does not seek wealth and glory, only seeks to be good to himself, for the sake of Zijing's affairs, the letter is less than a month, and all kinds of exhaustion have made Lu Qi feel unbearable, His Royal Highness has a heart of love for Lu Qi, and how can he bear to let Lu Qi fall into the red world?
Luo Chengyu was silent for a long time, and said indifferently: "Miss's mind Chengyu has already understood, it is Chengyu who is presumptuous, this jade is just my heart, even if it is a thank you gift, Miss don't refuse, I will pass on the order, you can go in and out freely with this jade pendant, and Miss can also browse the scenery of Xindu in her spare time, and you don't have to be bored in the house all the time." ”
Lu Qi's eyes wandered, and she knew that if she refused again, she looked at her face instead, and after a little thought, she took the jade pendant with both hands and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your generous gift." ”
Luo Chengyu smiled slightly, there seemed to be no trace of rejection of loss, and turned to leave, Lu Qi looked at his back hidden in the pine forest in a daze, and suddenly remembered that Luo Chengyu's big sword was still on him, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not call Luo Chengyu out of voice, remembering the tenderness towards this person these days, the struggle and confusion in his heart are not enough for outsiders, all of which are really like people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing.
