Chapter 39 (34)
Jiang Yanchen sneered when he heard this, and said, "It turns out that you will also have a bad time with her? This seat originally thought that you would always be just a dog wagging your tail in front of Concubine Yun? Nangong Xue, this woman, is really that important to you?" until he had laughed him enough, flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "What you asked is just nonsense." Even you don't bother to go along with her, this seat is a demon now, how can you be interested in paying attention to the worldly battles?"
Li Yijie praised: "Okay! The third request, in order to prove that we are completely inseparable from Concubine Yun, it is better to go and calm down the war in Xiabianguan, ruin her plan, and see that she is frustrated and frustrated, how about it?"
Jiang Yanchen only took a moment, and immediately understood what he was thinking about. sneered: "You just want to use this seat to relieve the siege of the frontier for you, don't you?" Li Yijie said: "That's right." But we have to say it first, and no matter how ridiculous it is, you have to say yes. Whether it is a human being, a god or a demon, they cannot be untrustworthy. ”
Jiang Yanchen didn't think much about it, and said categorically: "Okay, I'm not helping you, even if I take the opportunity to subdue the foreigners." When this is done, it will be your time of death. ”
Li Yijie said: "No problem, you can choose the time and place, and I will accompany you at any time." Isn't that fair enough?" Jiang Yanchen sneered: "Very good! You go eat and have fun first, don't leave regrets." These three requirements, this seat can meet you, and it will be used as your talisman!" The sleeves of the robe flicked, and a red light flashed, disappearing in front of the eyes of the two of them as quickly as it came.
Li Yijie still stood motionless, his fists tightened and loosened, which was equivalent to making a bet, and no one knew the outcome until the end. Now it seems that he actually won the bet with a very small chip, and he can't help but be displeased.
The owner of Xia Zhuang on the side glared at him and said, "Yijie, you are too reckless. Are you sure that you agreed to his conditions?" Although it was a questioning tone, listening to the meaning of his words, he was eager to directly replace it with "you are not sure".
Li Yijie smiled bitterly: "No, to be honest, as the original owner said, me and him are destined to be enemies of fate." Even if you don't even have a chance of winning, you still have to fight him to the death. At the same time, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, I have the responsibility to protect the people in the world, since this battle is a matter of sooner or later, it is better to let it come sooner. Besides, there are always unexpected miracles happening in the world, and I don't necessarily lose. ”
The owner of Xia Zhuang said angrily: "You are crazy! a mortal wants to defeat the devil, it is simply wishful thinking!" and his mouth repeated repeatedly, blaming him for how stupid his decision was.
Li Yijie stood up, pretended to be happy, and said: "The matter of the formation, let's put it aside for a few days, look, you said that I didn't really want to study, and I really told you right." However, it's not all for nothing, your life just now was saved for me again, the previous debt was not paid, and in the blink of an eye you owe a new favor. You know, I'm a very greedy person, and I won't allow others to owe me anything. Wait for me, I will live to get my due. Also, the final choice...... I'm sure your answer won't disappoint me. With a nonchalant smile on his face, he jumped off the roof, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared.
The owner of Xia Zhuang was independent for a long time, remembered his last confession, sighed, and said, "Yijie, Yijie, what kind of problem did you leave me?"
—————
At this time, Prince Fu's Mansion was still calm before the turmoil. Cheng Jiaxuan's injuries have healed most of the time, and in addition to the bandages on his face, he can move freely in the house.
It is the quiet night after the rain, the bright moon hangs high, and the night is as cool as water. Cheng Jiaxuan sat alone on the steps of the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, her eyes dazed and uncertain, as ethereal as her future. I hugged my legs tightly, pressed my bandaged chin hard against my knees, and felt a chill and a lingering sadness.
This courtyard is connected to the house, Shangguan Yaohua walked in from the main entrance, glanced at his sister who was in a daze, put a bowl of dark black decoction on the table, and said: "You haven't slept so late?" That's the tonic medicine prescribed by the doctor for you, although your body has improved a lot, you still have to remember to recuperate, remember to drink it later, I'll go back to the room first." ”
Cheng Jiaxuan turned his head suddenly, his expression was almost a little frightened, and he called: "Brother, don't leave yet......! I can't sleep, I'm so lonely, can you come and sit with me? Just for a while, it won't bother you for too long......"
Shangguan Yaohua looked at her with a pitiful and embarrassed expression, and she was obviously used to being snubbed, and she was afraid to ask for help. He sighed and said, "What are you twisting?" Walking to Cheng Jiaxuan's side, he sat down silently, and the stone steps paved with bluestone slabs immediately felt a little cool. Then he took off his coat, draped it on Cheng Jiaxuan's back, and explained a little bluntly: "It's windy at night, be careful not to catch a cold." ”
Just this small action has made Cheng Jiaxuan's face flush with excitement. Looking at the moon for a while, he peeked at him for a while, his face was full of intoxication, and said: "Our brothers and sisters, how many years have we not seen the night sky together? The two of us, and Xiangxiang's cousin, sat side by side in the courtyard looking at the stars, catching fireflies, and telling stories...... Always noisy until late at night, and chase and fight in the yard, and finally get tired, lie on the ground to rest, smell the fragrance of flowers on all sides, and gradually fall asleep. When the first rays of sunlight shine on your face the next morning, you will always find that there is an extra quilt on your body...... It was the happiest time. We can no longer be like simple brothers and sisters in the past, each with its own position, gathering less and leaving more...... Now I'm willing to sacrifice everything I have to go back to my carefree old days. ”
Shangguan Yaohua's face sank suddenly, and he said impatiently: "Do you plan to live in memories forever?" Knowing that it is impossible to turn back time, you are still dreaming some unrealistic dreams. You have grown up, you are no longer a child who can only fantasize, you should be able to distinguish between reality and fantasy. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan looked at Shangguan Yaohua's side face with admiration, and secretly rejoiced that he could finally look at him justifiably without misunderstanding and contempt for him. And when his gaze was deflected, he panicked again, afraid that his little thoughts would be seen through him, so he hurriedly pointed to the sky and said, "Look, what a beautiful night." The moon is so round and so big, it's not fifteen, but you can see such a beautiful moon......"
Shangguan Yaohua said impatiently: "The moon is originally full and short, what's so strange?" secretly felt that it was a mistake not to read the military book this night, but to be reduced to watching the moon with her.
Cheng Jiaxuan said softly: "It's like life, things are often unsatisfactory, isn't it? But knowing that something is beautiful, why can't we always stay at the moment when it is in full bloom? Why does everyone like to interfere in other people's lives, and there are always enough means to make their lives go to pieces? We are just floating up and down in pain, deceiving ourselves and saying words of mutual encouragement, struggling...... In the end, no one can overcome fate. This kind of life is just a dream of oneself and a drama in the eyes of others. What's the value?"
Shangguan Yaohua snorted and said, "Don't pretend to be deep for me." What I don't like the most is that he is full of words to understand life, as if he has really seen through the mysteries of the world and has fully understood. Only seeing the tip of the iceberg, I think I have seen the whole picture, which is really ridiculous. He has only survived in the world for a few decades, and he can see through the world that has been passed down for more than a thousand years? Originally, the benevolent and the wise see the wise, but he insisted on saying it accurately, as if everyone else was a fool and fought to the death for a little petty profit. If he were a truly wise man, would he ever have been freed from the shackles of fate? No, he was still struggling like thousands of fools. It's all an excuse for not wanting to make progress! I don't want you to get involved with this kind of person. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan stared at his clear eyes, but his heart shrunk into a ball, and he snuggled up to him timidly, tears rolled in his eyes, and said: "Brother, don't you lose your temper with me, okay?" Since I was a child, I have been most afraid of others being fierce to me, once you are angry with me, I think that I have said the wrong thing and done the wrong thing, I will scold myself to death, I will be locked in the room alone, and I will not eat or drink all day and night, until you forgive me......"
Shangguan Yaohua remembered that this was indeed the truth when the two were young, Cheng Jiaxuan relied on herself as the youngest daughter in the family, and every time she got into trouble, she had to be coquettish, so that her brother and cousin could forgive her. Today's Shangguan Yaohua has a particularly gloomy temper, and he is a personality that will never be tolerated by others, but seeing that Cheng Jiaxuan's injury is not yet complete, he doesn't bother with her, and says with a wry smile: "Okay, I won't say it." Count you as a porcelain doll that you can't touch. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan instantly regained some of the warmth of the two of them when they were young, crying and laughing, excited to tears, and said: "Brother, are you really willing to admit me? In the past few days, I always feel as if I am in a dream, and the clearest thing in my mind is when you reject me coldly. I'm just afraid that I'm talking nonsense with a high fever, and when I remove these bandages, I'll find that it's all my thoughts, I'm still sitting alone in a corner, and you're going to push me away again......"
Shangguan Yaohua frowned, already displeased, and said, "If something is destined to be yours, even if you watch it fly away from your eyes, it will still belong to you in the end." If it weren't for you, no matter how hard you tried to grab it, you wouldn't have tasted the slightest sweetness. That's the case, and it's barely interesting. Cheng Jiaxuan sighed, and was full of sadness.
Shangguan Yaohua glanced at her, and saw that her oblique bangs were soft on the side of her ear, and the breeze was light, like a small grass in the field, swaying slightly, which made her even more weak and pitiful.
But after years of tempering, his temperament is as solid as a rock, but he will never be soft on anyone again. Regardless of whether these words were cruel or not, he said: "Besides, you can't escape for the rest of your life, can you? Recently, your injuries have improved, and my father-in-law has talked to me a few times, just urging you to leave as soon as possible. You know, even though he was allied with the regent, he didn't want to raise a daughter for him. Not only my father-in-law, except for a fool like Li Yijie who is overzealous, few people will do things for others regardless of returns. Where are you going to go after this?"
Cheng Jiaxuan was taken aback, realizing that his brother was actually giving him an eviction order, and he suddenly became flustered, and his voice trembled, and said, "Brother, you ...... Are you going to drive me away?" Shangguan Yaohua said patiently: "It's not to drive you away, it's just that you can't always stay here." I'm also sending people under the fence, and then I'm dangling around with a drag oil bottle, you still don't think I have enough handles, do you?"
Cheng Jiaxuan was so anxious that she was incoherent, and wanted to say that she never wanted to involve her brother, but now that this matter was completed, no matter how much she argued, it was useless. Said sadly: "Concubine Yun is annoyed that I betrayed her and wants my life, just like the previous Luo Jin girl, I want to Yin Xue Palace, I can't go back." As for the regent, he and Concubine Yun have formed an alliance, and they no longer need me to inquire about the news on their behalf. The righteous girl is just a worthless name, and my real identity is just his pawn. Now that the chess pieces have become discarded, where else can I go? Brother, you know, I have nowhere to go. Or, can you discuss with Prince Fu again, and ask him to promise to let me stay? I won't eat and drink for nothing, I can do chores for him and do some rough work in the house......"
