Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 9 Old friends and the past

In the back room, an old man with a white beard was lying on the couch and taking a nap with his eyes closed.The mountains are quiet, except for the chirping of cicadas and frogs in summer, and it is very quiet at other times.

Tonight was different, there was an unexpected guest in the mountain.

Because of martial arts practice, even in old age he is still strong and strong.If you don't search carefully, you won't be able to detect any breathing sound.

It was as if he was one with the entire space.

The movement outside the house sounded to his ears like someone beating gongs and drums. The old man waited quietly for a while, but realized that the visitor had been standing motionless at the door of his courtyard.

If he is a thief, he will wait for the moment of stealing to catch the person.

If he is a lost person, he will not care about anything and just pretend that he does not know.

If someone came to seek revenge, he would strike first and wipe him out and bury him in the grass behind him.

But what came today made the old man extremely rare.

Indifferent, he just stood at the door of the yard as if waiting for something.But in this barren mountain and ridge, who else can we wait for?

Of course it's him.

But in the end, there were not many people left in the world who knew he was here.

The old man opened his eyes, his sharp eyes as if piercing with a sharp sword, startling him.He got up, opened the door and walked out slowly.

……

"Sister, are we just waiting here?"

Qin Changqing was a little confused. She was clearly standing at the door of someone's house. This was also where the person she wanted to find lived. Why didn't she knock on the door, but instead waited here like a clay figure?

The mountain wind gradually picked up at night, and Qin Zhaozhao couldn't help but put on her outer clothes. She crossed her arms and leaned against the door. Hearing this, she said, "If he doesn't want to open it, we won't be able to get in here even if we knock the door down." step."

"But if he didn't knock on the door, how would he know we were here?" Qinglian also asked.

Qin Zhaozhao smiled softly, "Don't worry, he will know."

As soon as he finished speaking, steady footsteps came closer from far away, approaching the door.

The moment the door slowly opened, Qin Zhaozhao's determined voice sounded at the same time, "Look, isn't the person you were waiting for coming now?"

Qin Changqing and Qinglian immediately got up from the ground. They dusted the weeds behind them. When the owner of the house came out, they slowly looked up at the burly figure. Their eyes were as big as copper bells. .

The person who came looked like he was in his sixties, but he was energetic and had bright eyes.The aura that runs through his body is so sharp that if you touch him, you will feel that he seems to be carrying a fierce aura.

At one glance, you can tell in your heart that this person must have been a great person when he was young.

Nie Feng glanced down, his eyes like dark black blades.When he spoke, his voice was as rich as an image, but his tone was full of questions, "Why three children?"

He frowned, "You came to the mountains to play and got lost?"

If it is a child, it would be a bit troublesome.

When Qin Zhaozhao saw the person standing in front of her, she suddenly felt as if she had been there for a long time. Seeing the flash of his eyes, she retracted her thoughts and smiled softly, "I'm not lost, I came here specifically to find you."

"Looking for me?"

Nie Feng was surprised. When he looked at the little girl who was less than half his height, he suddenly felt a strange feeling of familiarity and unfamiliarity.

He asked, "Do you know me?"

Qin Zhaozhao nodded, "I know you. We came here specifically to find you. We came to visit you this time to ask for something."

Nie Feng felt that if people lived for a long time, weird things would happen.

For example, now, a young girl who he has never met before says that he knows her, knows where he lives, and wants to ask for something.

He knelt down and became curious, "Girl, since you said you know me, why don't you tell me, who am I?"

Qin Zhaozhao looked directly at him, her clear eyes under her elegant eyebrows were as clear as stars, and she opened her lips:

"I know."

The crisp voice revealed an even more shocking title——

"You are the former King of Zhenbei, the most glorious and powerful general in Beiyan."

She arched her eyebrows, smiled, and added, "And now, the Mountain God."

A long wind happened to pass by, causing her clothes to fly, revealing her thin and slender figure.

Nie Feng squatted in front of her and didn't move for a long time.

Those heavy eyes contained a black hurricane as she uncovered one after another of the past that he had wanted to abandon, setting off waves of forbearing yet violent surges.

A majestic and suffocating killing intent rose into the sky in an instant, as if the general who had stepped through a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​​​blood with a silver spear was cutting your head off, bringing fear to your face.

But this murderous intention disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it was just a short-lived illusion.

Qin Zhaozhao's expression remained unchanged, as if she didn't feel the soaring pressure. On the other hand, Qin Changqing and Qinglian behind her, one was scared into a wooden sculpture, and the other's face was pale, and her legs and feet were trembling.

Nie Feng looked at her deeply, then turned and entered the room.

"come in."

When Qin Changqing and Qinglian stepped into every inch of the courtyard, they stepped lightly and cautiously, for fear of offending the old man's anger.

Only Qin Zhaozhao was leisurely and contented, as if he was familiar with the place. He actually took a few steps forward than the old man several times.

Nie Feng glanced at her suspiciously along the way. After taking the three of them to the guest room with this strange emotion, he pulled up a chair and sat down, poured a cup of tea, and looked at Qin Zhaozhao with a heavy gaze.

"Tell me, who brought you here?"

He didn't believe that a little girl could know his identity, so there was only one left——

Someone behind the scenes is instigating this.

Nie Feng's eyes sank. Apart from his old friends, the only people who could still miss him now were his enemies.

Qin Zhaozhao did not sit down, but just pulled Qin Changqing, who was confused, to meet him, and said solemnly, "I hope Senior Nie can accept Yudi as his disciple."

Nie Feng was not surprised, as if any excuse she gave was within the scope of his expectations.

Such a poor excuse as expected.

"Why should I accept him as my disciple?"

"Since you know my origins, you should be able to see why I live alone on this mountain." Nie Feng put down his cup and threw it on the floor, somewhat expressing his unfriendly mood. "I don't like people to disturb me."

"I don't know who sent you, Shengjing, or the palace?" When mentioning the last two words, he slightly emphasized his tone, "When you go back, tell those people that I have no intention of getting involved in secular disputes. , if they dare to send people to test next time..."

Nie Feng protracted his tone and glanced at Qin Zhaozhao and the others thoughtfully, "Even if it's you guys who come here, I will still kill them and throw them into the mountains to feed the beasts in the mountains."

Qin Changqing stood in front of him and felt his scalp numb, but when he heard this, he subconsciously stopped in front of Qin Zhaozhao, with a tense expression as if facing a powerful enemy. This subtle move actually attracted Nie Feng's attention.

Qin Zhaozhao nodded thoughtfully, "I've learned a lesson."

"So Senior Nie is willing to accept Ah Qing as his disciple?"

Nie Feng frowned, looking like an angry lion, "Can't you understand what I said?"

It was clear that he had an aura that could scare people away, but Qin Zhaozhao seemed unable to understand his anger at the moment. As if to appease his violent mood, he slowly spoke, "Senior Nie, don't worry, we are not you. The kind of identity you want.”

"There is no one behind the scenes, nor is it someone sent by Shengjing."

Qin Zhaozhao paused, as if hesitating, as if weighing, wondering whether he should say the next words.In the end, she seemed to have made some important decision, and said slowly, "...but an old friend."

"Old friend?" Nie Feng seemed to have heard a big joke, "You are a little girl who lies without drafting. I'm afraid you weren't even born when I moved into this mountain."

"We have met before." Qin Zhaozhao said firmly, looking at him with a look of nostalgia and determination, "Uncle Nie."

"You once said that Lingfeng Residence is for the deceased who are wandering between heaven and earth to have a home to return to."

"There are no man-eating beasts in the back mountain, because there live the sleeping Ling Feng Army soldiers, and there are monuments to those heroes who once protected the territory of Beiyan."

Forget it, she seemed to remember something and suddenly smiled softly.

"Also, you once said that you like us budding children the most, because you can see in us the vitality that grows lushly like the trees in the mountains facing the sun, and you can also see that we carry the prosperity of Northern Yan. Infinite future.”

So she remained indifferent when Nie Feng threatened him, simply because she knew those words were false.

Nie Feng stood up with a whoosh, and the chair was suddenly kicked several feet away. He didn't seem to notice, but stared at the girl in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief. The arms of Luo Da Dao were also trembling. He tried to reach out to Qin Zhaozhao, but was stopped by Qin Changqing.

Nie Feng retracted his hand, but suddenly he didn't know how to place it. He scratched his head and moved it randomly. Compared with the awe-inspiring look just now, he looked more like an ordinary old man at this moment.

"You..." He hesitated to speak.

Qin Zhaozhao knew what she wanted to ask, sighed softly, turned to Qin Changqing and said, "Aqing, there are two back rooms next to this guest house. You and Qinglian go to rest first, and I will talk to this old man Nie later." say."

Qin Changqing was a little worried, but when he saw Qin Zhaozhao's uncompromising eyes, he swallowed the words he blurted out.

He said dullly, "Sister, if anything happens, you can call me at any time."

After saying that, he glared at Nie Feng in a warning manner, grunted, and pulled Qinglian, whose legs and feet were already too frightened to move, towards the back room.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qin Zhaozhao sat on the chair obediently. She reached out and touched the teapot on the table, which was already cold.

Nie Feng saw that she was trying to push the two people away, so he held back his words at first. When everyone came into the house, he quickly asked, "Do you know the Qin family? Who are you to them? What happened to the Qin family three years ago?" What?"

A series of questions came out like a bomb.

Every word Qin Zhaozhao said just now, he clearly only said it to Qin Yuanming and his three children.

Nie Feng still remembers the way his eldest daughter Qin Manyi agreed with his words with a gentle smile, and the way his second son Qin Lu looked excited to argue with him as if he had found a like-minded person. He even remembered that the youngest child was quirky and could always be found in the room. He made jokes in the midst of serious topics, and was finally dragged out of the room by Qin Lu in anger.

Nie Feng once felt what ordinary people call family happiness in these three children. When he asked Qin Yuanming if he could be the adoptive uncle of the three children, Qin Yuanming just smiled, and the three children were like birds chirping over each other. Aroused Uncle Nie.

Such a lively group of people disappeared from this world overnight, staying in his life for a short time like dandelions floating in the wind, and then dissipated again.

He once wanted to find out the truth about the Qin family's destruction, and wanted to collect the bodies of his old friend and three lovely children, but he himself was a person who should not exist in this world. He couldn't even get out of this mountain, let alone the town.

As soon as he steps out of this mountain, people from all over the world who are looking for his traces will definitely come in droves.

He is useless.

He is a useless person who cannot even see his old friend for the last time and pay his respects.

Recalling this incident, Nie Feng's eyes turned red. He clenched his fists tightly, hoping to hear the news he wanted to know from Qin Zhaozhao, but he was afraid of the truth she would tell her.

Qin Zhaozhao looked away from Nie Feng's persistent eyes that wanted to find out the truth, and stared at the crumbling candlelight on the table.

The first words she spoke made this veteran, who had experienced countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood, tremble all over and made his scalp numb.

"Uncle Nie, I am Azhao."

Qin Zhaozhao spoke softly. The bloody secrets and past of the Qin family hidden deep in her heart were revealed the moment she admitted her identity.

"It's not the legitimate daughter of the Gu family who was exiled to the countryside, but Qin Yuanming's daughter, Qin Zhaozhao."
