Chapter 5 Obstacles
Xie Tong and Cai Wei returned to the post house in a carriage, and Cai Wei wondered, "Why did you tell them about the attack on King Huai, you have no basis!"
Xie Tong sighed, "I don't know why, but seeing the pain and grief of the two brothers, I can't bear it!"
Cai Wei said again, "Do you believe them?"
Xie Tong said, "How can I say this! At present, it is in the state of alliance, and it can still be trusted, but one day, it is going to break up, Li Xiao is not only ambitious, but also extremely arrogant, but he was temporarily suppressed by the Sima family, so he didn't show it!"
Cai Wei said, "If you can think so, I will be relieved!"
Xie Tong said, "How do you feel that since you lost your memory, you have changed into a person, in the past, I felt that I never used my brain to do things, but now I am much more flexible!"
Cai Wei said angrily: "You don't need to think about it, this is all taught by the master! The ancients are close to Zhu, red and black, and they are mixed with people like you every day, of course they don't open their minds. With that, she burst out laughing.
Xie Tong said, "Then have you ever thought about staying together forever?"
Cai Wei said, "Think of the beauty, go and stay with your sister Shan'er!"
When the two returned to the inn, it was already dark. Everyone was waiting for them in the annex of the post house, but Hong Shan was not here, looking bad, as if something had happened!
Without waiting for Xie Tong to speak, Yi Wudaugh, who has always been sophisticated, actually opened his mouth and said, "Xie boy, it's not good."
Xie Tong observed the words and knew that something unpleasant must have happened, and he asked, "What happened, Shan'er!"
Lao Lai said, "Soon after you left, the doctor Hongru rushed to the inn, took Shan'er away strongly, and even told you not to go to her!"
This news hit Xie Tong's heart like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the most worrying thing happened. Hong Shan was picked up by Hong Ru, which is equivalent to being put under house arrest by this dead old man, this old guy has been looking forward to his daughter marrying the Sima family, from this point of view, it must be Sima Xuan who put pressure on Hong Shan and forced him to make a desperate bet. This is extremely unpleasant. If Hong Ru made public the news of this marriage, Hong Shan would have no other way than to die.
Xie Tong sat down on the chair dejectedly, this blow was too heavy for him, and when he first entered Beijing, he was still immersed in joy, and he didn't think about it so much, so that he ignored the conspiracy of the Sima family. If Hong Shan marries Sima Jinyu, this is unacceptable to him.
Huo Zixin shouted, "What's there to worry about, with our strength." It's not a problem to break into Hongfu, as long as you snatch your sister-in-law, you will fly away, the world is so big, isn't there a hiding place for you?"
"Zixin", Lao Lai shouted, "What nonsense, we have just made some improvements, and we can't waste it so easily." If you force your way into Hong Mansion. If you commit a big crime, it's a question of whether you can leave Chang'an."
Huo Zixin pursed his lips. Didn't speak.
Xie Tong got up and said, "I'm going to Hongfu immediately."
Lao Lai said slowly, "No, time is still in time, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, according to me, Old Man Hong will not agree to you, and it will be useless if you go." You still have to tie the bell to the bell, don't you have some friendship with Song Wenyuan? He is now in high spirits, and he wants to come and speak with some weight, you can talk to him and ask him to help you intercede with Old Man Hong. Now suppress this matter, if you can, go and see Sima Xuan, this old fox is used to playing politics, and will not give up a good prospect because of a marriage, if he can be done, then there is a lot of room for reversal in this matter. ”
Xie Tong settled down, knowing that Yi Wuxing's proposal might be the best way, he hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go see Song Wenyuan right away now."
Yi Wudaunt said, "Don't forget, Song Wenyuan also lives in Hong Mansion, and Old Man Hong won't let you meet, so let's do it! Let me see Song Wenyuan, you wait for the news here." With that, he rode out of the inn.
Xie Tong had no choice but to wait in the post house, he walked into the room alone, lying alone on the bed, and had no idea for a while. It's not that he didn't think about eloping with Hong Shan and wandering the world, but this is the way to do it when there is no turning point, and he can't lose her.
There was a soft knock on the door, and Cai Wei slipped in alone.
Cai Wei saw Xie Tong's decadent appearance, and said, "I didn't expect your kid to be very affectionate, don't worry, this matter is just our speculation, and it has not reached the point of no return, not to mention that Big Brother Yi has already gone to make it clear for you, it's not that there is no chance."
Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Is this a comfort to me? If Shan'er and I go away, will you go with us!"
Cai Wei said angrily, "A guy who has no ability, this little difficulty scares you like this, how can my master be impressed by people like you, it really makes me speechless."
Xie Tong smiled bitterly, "It's easy to say, it's about my lifelong happiness, can you not be in a hurry?
Cai Wei said, "Come less, let's take care of your Shan'er first!"
While the two were talking, Yi Wudaunt came back alone.
Xie Tong jumped off the bed violently, and said, "Why are you alone, Brother Song!"
Yi Wuxing smiled bitterly and said, "Song Wenyuan was called by Old Man Hong, and I didn't see him." ”
Xie Tong's heart sank, Old Man Hong was so ruthless, it seemed that he had already guessed that Xie Tong would have such a move, and controlled Song Wenyuan in advance, so as not to let Xie Tong have a chance to see him.
Xie Tong didn't make a sound, all kinds of signs showed that the other party was prepared, and he was completely aimed at him, he had to calm down at this moment, and everything had to rely on himself.
Yi Wudaunt said, "It's late at night, let's rest first! I'll accompany you to the Taiwei Mansion tomorrow."
Xie Tong nodded, and said, "Brother Yi has worked hard, let's rest first!" After that, he watched a few people leave his room.
Yi Wudang left Xie Tong's room, and Lao Lai followed closely behind him, saying, "Was Song Wenyuan really called by Old Man Hong?"
Yi Wuxing turned around, put his fingers lightly on his lips, and put on a silent posture, and then said in a low voice, "Song Wenyuan is not where Old Man Hong is at all! Because there's no chance at all!"
Lao Lai said, "Then why didn't you tell Xie Xiaozi?"
Yi Wudaunt said, "Lai, you and I are both people who are crawling in the army, of course we know what politics is all about, I don't tell him, I don't want him to lose hope, hey." Song Wenyuan has changed, just looking at the tone and way he speaks, I know that he is no longer the Song Wenyuan of the past, of course, there must be some unspeakable hardships in this, but after a person is in a high position, his thinking will definitely change. In particular, this kind of person who came from an aristocratic valve is even more different from those of us who came from a poor family! Hey! This time it is really a lot of bad luck, and it depends on how Sima Xuanhui views this matter tomorrow."
The two of them didn't say a word, and walked straight to the room.
Xie Tong took in the words of the two of them, and he only felt a cold feeling in his heart, could it be that Song Wenyuan really stood by and watched? He couldn't believe it, but the facts were naked in front of him, and he couldn't make any vetoes. Thinking of the brief meeting outside Hangzhou, he was even more determined to say that Yi Wudaunt was intended. People are always changing. With all the glory and applause of flowers, it is difficult to escape from all this.
But he doesn't hate Song Wenyuan, after all, since he met, Song Wenyuan has helped him too much, not to mention that Song Wenyuan has taken on the mission of the family, he is different from Xie Tong, Xie Tong is alone. has nothing to worry about, and he represents the real Sichuan, Shu and Song valves. Once he stands in the wrong camp, it may lead to the entire family being implicated, and the consequences are unbearable for Song Wenyuan.
Xie Tong couldn't sleep, after all, this incident hit him too hard.
He packed up his clothes and left the inn alone, looking for a place to drink a little wine. Relieve boredom.
Walking out of a few streets, I unconsciously walked to the Piaoxiang Painting Pavilion, the painting pavilion is brightly lit, and the door is full of cars and cars, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. It seems that business is really good. Thinking of the mysterious female nightingale, Xie Tong was stunned for a moment, and then walked in.
As soon as Xie Tong entered the door, a girl greeted him and said, "This uncle, is this the first time you have come?
Xie Tong said coldly, "Is the nightingale girl here, I want to see him."
The girl who welcomed the guests was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, the nightingale is unwell today, and she won't receive any guests!"
Xie Tong took out a cushion of silver, stuffed it into her hand, and said impatiently, "Tell the nightingale, just say that I'm Xie Tong here!"
The girl took the silver and said happily, "Thank you for this master, the slave family will go to report, but it is not clear whether the nightingale girl can see you!"
Xie Tong waited for a stick of incense, and the girl who received her came back and said, "This lord, Miss Nightingale is invited!
Xie Tong followed behind her, walked upstairs, it was the room she came to last time, thinking that she had been here to recuperate, her heart suddenly sighed.
Upon entering the room, the nightingale was still dressed as a scholar, only more beautiful than before.
When the next person left, Xie Tong ignored the nightingale and sat on her boudoir.
Nightingale said angrily, "Why, didn't you lie down enough last time?" and ran to this girl's place to eat and drink again."
Xie Tong said angrily, "Why can't you do it?"
Nightingale observed his words and looks, knowing that he was unhappy, and said with a smile, "The great hero who pacified Jiangnan, why does he look so bitter and hateful." ”
Xie Tong didn't look at it and said, "The hero is Sima Xiangru, I am a small general, how can I have such a great credit!"
The nightingale walked to the side of the bed, showed a pretty expression, and said, "Just listening to this, you know that Brother Xie is not in a good mood, and the nightingale can have the honor to listen to the bitterness in Brother Xie's heart!"
Xie Tong looked at her and said, "Why do you always dress up as a man, maybe you don't have confidence in your daughter's outfit!"
Nightingale said displeasedly, "Don't look left and right to talk about him, tell me if something happened to your Shan'er girl." ”
Xie Tong was surprised this time, a woman in the Qinglou was so concerned about the world, and the news was so well-informed! He hurriedly said, "What does the girl know, please tell me everything!"
Nightingale ignored him, walked straight to the table, poured a glass of wine, and asked, "Would you like a drink?"
Xie Tong got up from the bed, sat down at the table, took the wine glass and drank it all, and said, "Say it!"
Nightingale smiled and said, "Look at your anxious look, in fact, this girl doesn't know much, but I heard that Sima Xuan put pressure on Hong Ru to ask Sima Jinyu to marry his daughter Hong Shan, obviously, this is a conspiracy against you." ”
Xie Tong said, "The girl's news is so well-informed, I don't know where I heard about it!"
The nightingale pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Xie, it was your good brother Song Wenyuan who said it personally, he often frequented this place, so he will know this, but I am still optimistic about Brother Xie, when you are in Jiangnan, you can turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain, and the fact that you turn defeat into victory is too numerous to mention, I believe that you will be able to solve these things."
At the mention of Song Wenyuan, Xie Tong's heart hurt again, this former brother finally drifted away from him, so that he parted ways, he finally settled down, in this conspiracy against him, he must win. The enemy's plot must not be allowed to succeed.
Xie Tong poured another glass of wine, he picked up the wine glass, and said with a wry smile, "Xie has just returned to Chang'an today, and he has experienced so many things, it is really a headache, even so, Xie Tong will not give up easily, ha, thank you for the girl's wine, Xie Mou wants to go back!"
Nightingale watched Xie Tong leave, and muttered, "This is really a strange person, no wonder my brother admires him very much." ”
Outside the window, there is an endless night. (To be continued.) )
