122, Jiang Xuanche of the Tenth Mirror (21)
"Have you ever had half of me in your heart?"
Jiang Xuanche looked at Lin Ning fixedly, and that gaze was like a strong light shining into his heart, making Lin Ning have nothing to hide, and there was no way to avoid it.
"Now is the time to say this. Genche, we're all adults. When adults do things, they have to think about the consequences. Lin Ning felt that he was smiling a little reluctantly somehow.
"You and I are single-minded, whether we are married or not, I will naturally always be on your side. But uncle is different, if there is no such layer of in-law relationship to support the bottom, why should the Jizhou army be used by you and make contributions for you? Jizhou is abundant, you and I have to rely on my uncle for most of the military resources, without the support of the Jizhou army, you and I can only be a prince of one side, and it will never be possible to pocket the world......
"What do I want for this world!"
Before Lin Ning could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Xuanche's low roar. The roar burst out from his chest, his expression was like that of a wounded trapped beast, his eyes were red, and he stared at Lin Ning.
"For this world, you and I have broken our families, I want to hit Shengjing, but I just want to pull Xiao Zilan off the throne and cut off his head to pay tribute to his dead relatives. But what's the point of all this if it comes at the cost of losing you?...... All I have is you. ”
The last sentence has a slight vibrato and is a little out of tune. Lin Ning's heartstrings were touched by this dissonant sound, and he beat up.
She stood in place and looked at Jiang Xuanche for a long time, until the eyes of both of them began to sour, and then she opened a warm smile and said:
"But Xuan Che. You and I are standing on top of this rolling torrent, either riding against the waves, or being crushed by this torrent. There is no way back for us for a long time. ”
She took a step forward, gently grasped Jiang Xuanche's white fist with clenched knuckles, and raised her head and said, "What's more, you will never lose me." ”
Lin Ning raised his hand and stroked Jiang Xuanche's eyebrows in the air, seeing that his gaze gradually softened from indignation to stunned, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Didn't you ask me, what is your position in my heart?" Now I will tell you that you are the most important person in my life. Are you satisfied with the answer?"
Jiang Xuanche looked at Lin Ning's smile, and his heart suddenly ached like a knife, as if he had lost his strength, he hugged Lin Ning into his arms, leaned heavily on her shoulder with his forehead, and said in a muffled voice for a while:
"Does it have to be so...... Is there nothing else you can do?"
The voice revealed some hearts like ashes, which made Lin Ning's heart tremble.
She raised her hand, stroked the back of Jiang Xuanche's neck, and patted her for a while: "Only by passing this pass in front of you can we see the variables in the future." ”
The two embracing figures dragged the elders in the setting sun, and the dark cloaks hunted in the wind, and the golden glow on the horizon was reflected in the ever-changing silhouettes.
At the banquet of the Jizhou Thorn History Mansion that night, Wang Ren sat on the top, Jiang Xuanche sat on the right side below, Lin Ning sat on the left side, and the generals of the three parties sat behind each other.
At the banquet, singing and dancing, Wang Ren picked up the cup and welcomed the Yanzhou army from afar, said a lot of beautiful words, and expressed the meaning of being close to Lin Ning. Lin Ning's side naturally responded one by one.
After pushing the cup and changing the glass, after three rounds of wine, Wang Ren casually mentioned it: "There is a little girl in the family who is waiting for the word boudoir, and Yu intends to marry her to Jiang Shi's nephew, I don't know what the nephew wants?"
As soon as Wang Ren's voice fell, the eyes of everyone present fell on Lin Ning with surprise.
Lin Ning's expression didn't even move, and he still had a faint smile on his face, so that others couldn't see the slightest clue.
The people in Youzhou are okay, most of them are surprised, but here in Yanzhou, Jiang Fei's eyes almost burst into flames, and the fists of the generals below are also clenched. If Lin Ning hadn't expressed his position, they would have jumped up and scolded a long time ago.
Who here doesn't know that Jiang Xuanche and Su Luoyu have been married since childhood? Now that Wang Ren is asking his prospective nephew and son-in-law to marry his daughter in front of his niece, where does he want to put Su Luoyu there. How could their lord be so humiliated?
Jiang Xuanche's eyes didn't glance at Lin Ning's side, but anyone with a discerning eye could see how uncertain Jiang Xuanche's expression was, his face was dark, as if a storm was brewing, and the wine cup in his hand was about to be pinched and deformed by him.
But he still got up silently, bowed to Wang Ren, and said unequivocally word by word: "Shibo is kind, but the little nephew is disrespectful." ”
Everyone present was in an uproar instantly, and Jiang Feiteng stood up with a loud voice and opened his mouth to scold. Lin Ning gently put the wine cup on the table and glanced at Jiang Fei lightly. Jiang Fei choked back on the words on his lips and took a step back.
Lin Ning stood up, picked up the wine cup, and gave way to Wang Ren and Jiang Xuanche, and said, "Congratulations to uncle, congratulations to Brother Jiang." On the day of the wedding, Luo Yu must congratulate him with generous gifts. ”
Lin Ning's words, like the wind sweeping on the ground, swept away all the voices in the hall at once. The sound of laughter, the sound of chatting, the sound of cups colliding, all the sounds are silent, only the eyes intersect, and the suspicion and speculation are uncertain.
Jiang Xuanche and Wang Ren's eyes also fell on Lin Ning, Jiang Xuanche's eyes were deep and unpredictable, while Wang Ren was three points surprised and seven points surprised, I didn't expect my niece to be so reasonable.
Lin Ning's gaze calmly met Wang Ren's, his eyes were full of joy and blessing, and he couldn't see what emotions were hidden under the clear eyes that were shining.
"Okay, good!" Wang Ren heard this, and three points of doubt went to two points. After picking up the wine cup and drinking with Lin Ning, he said to the generals present: "Today's great joy, you must be happy, you must be happy, hahaha!"
The banquet lasted that night until the hour of the child.
Jiang Xuanche drank glass after glass of wine, staring at Lin Ning with deep eyes, unable to take his eyes off it. In the end, he was drunk, and Lin Ning instructed his generals to take him back and take care of him, and he turned around and went back to the camp.
Jiang Fei followed Lin Ning out closely, saw Lin Ning step on the war horse and rode away, and hurriedly rode his war horse to chase after him. It wasn't until the evening breeze blew the whole person cool that Lin Ning stopped his horse.
The moonlight hung high in the sky, the moonlight penetrated through the misty clouds, and the wilderness was shrouded in darkness, if Jiang Fei hadn't followed closely, he would have lost Lin Ning's trace long ago.
The horses gasped, white mist breathing scattered into the air. Jiang Fei also gasped, and the horse paced to Lin Ning's side, following her gaze, only to see that the vast dark night was out of sight.
"Lord......" Jiang Fei said hesitantly. He couldn't go up or down with a mouthful of anger in his heart, how uncomfortable would Lin Ning feel in his heart?
Lin Ning's expression was calm, as if nothing had happened. She just stared at the night and didn't say a word.
The wind whistled in the wilderness, and only Lin Ning's cloak hunted in the wind. After listening to this voice for a long time, the corners of Lin Ning's mouth suddenly curved into a smile.
"Let's go. ”
Lin Ning tugged on the reins, took the war horse around, and walked in the direction of the camp.
Jiang Fei turned around and followed in confusion. The light of the campfire in the distance shone brightly.
