After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 151 Uninvited Guest

Qingying, Baiying, and Xuanying all came to Nanhuai with Yingshu. However, Baiyu and Xuanyu had other tasks and did not stay in the guesthouse. Qingying stayed in the guesthouse alone. She was guessing about the ghost house earlier. A small box brought by the guards was said to be a Mid-Autumn gift from His Highness to the young master, but it turned out to be a box like this. What kind of Mid-Autumn gift was it?

The box was unlocked, but no matter how curious Qingying was, she would not open it and look first.

Yingshu was not actually tired. She just felt heavy because of the murder case in Nan Zeli. But when she came down from the pavilion, the heavy feeling was slightly relieved. At this time, she was quite self-deprecating - she had already seen through the relationship between people. Many friendships between people are fickle, and the cruelty of human nature is even more common. The most evil people do not only exist in aristocratic families, but also in the marketplace and among the common people, there are struggles and killings, just like that People once said...

The good and evil of people are truly beyond the dignity and inferiority.

Nanci's Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony was a box of books, and I don't know when he prepared them. Among them were the customs and geography of Huainan County, and biographies. They were all "miscellaneous books", but Yingshu had not read any of them. She Seeing that Qingying was really sleepy, she said, "I've washed up and will be ready to go to sleep soon, so don't wait any longer."

Although the room in the guest post is spacious, the bed is narrow. Ying Shu also knows that Qing Ying always sleeps lightly, so she never lets her stay on night duty. Yesterday, she also let Qing Ying go to the guest room next door to rest. Anyway, it was in the official post office. , not to mention there are so many guards, safety can be guaranteed.

In front of the bed in the room, there is only a screen to slightly separate it. It is an ordinary straight screen with double layers of white gauze sandwiched between it. It has no paintings or embroidery. The room also has only two screen drawer windows. On the left wall, the screen drawer There was a desk and desk under the window. Since Yingshu couldn't sleep, she leaned on the desk and read for a while.

The window was originally closed. Although the moonlight outside was beautiful, the wind entering the screen would cause the candlelight to sway. Yingshu did not want her eyesight to be damaged. She had heard the word "eye disease" too much recently, so it was inevitable that she would suffer from it. To add to her worries, it was impossible not to read at night, but the light must be sufficient.

Everything seemed to happen in an instant.

The window was opened, "plop" and "plop" were heard several times, and the lights were extinguished. Yingshu reacted quickly enough and left the window immediately, but she was still choked by an arm from behind. She was about to shout , a "shush" sounded in his ears.

There is a very weird feeling.

Yingshu didn't feel that she was being threatened. Strangely, her panic subsided.

"It's me." Another voice sounded in his ear.

The voice was actually a bit low and hoarse, not enough to distinguish the speaker. The person did not relax his arms immediately. The breathing sound was still close to the ears and temples, deep and shallow, slow and urgent, but he still let go of his arms first. As if she was sure that Ying Shu would not scream, the fire was lit, and the light returned to the room. The cloth covering her face was taken off, revealing a high bridge of nose and slightly mean lips.

Not a stranger.

The man in night clothes picked up a book that Ying Shu had dropped on the ground and handed it to her, but she didn't take it.

"Xinsu-kun, why is it you?"

"Thanks to you and my fifth brother." A trace of residual meaning that had nothing to do with Mid-Autumn Night hung on the corners of Sikong Yuehu's lips.

Suddenly, there was a whistle outside the guest post, the chaotic sound of horse hooves and footsteps, and the banging of the door. Sikong Yuehu turned directly to the straight-grid screen, but Yingshu was still sitting in front of the window. Not long after, there was someone. The guard said through the window: "My dear, it seems not peaceful outside tonight. I heard that someone violated the law. Are you okay, my dear?"

Yingshu opened the window and revealed her face: "Nothing."

She closed the window again, bolted the door, and put a lamp behind the screen. She saw Sikong Yuehu sitting on the bed, unhooking his sword and putting it aside. Yingshu removed the lamp and looked away. , she turned her back to this man and asked: "What did you mean by what you just said?"

The lamp cast a steady halo in the windless room, and Yingshu looked at the candlelight.

"I followed the Holy Order and went to Huainan County to hunt down someone. The situation was a bit complicated. Tonight, I took two subordinates with me and planned to kidnap a key person and force him to provide clues, but he was suddenly called in. The reason for the governor's office is that his daughter is very beautiful. Not only is she beautiful, it is said that her natural body has a strange fragrance. The governor of Huainan regards this woman as a rare commodity. He wants to sacrifice his fifth brother tonight. Our operation tonight has been in vain. Who knows In order to win the favor of his fifth brother, the Huainan governor suddenly stepped up patrols tonight.

We were encountering a patrol and escaped in three directions. I knew you were at the guest post, so I came to come to you for cooperation. Wang Wuniang, I have a secret order this time and cannot alert the Huainan governor, because your arrival has destroyed my original plan. plan, I can only cooperate with you. "

"You said you were following a secret order?" Ying Shu asked.

"His Majesty's secret order." Sikong Yuehu leaned against the bed and put one of his arms on the edge of the bed without looking at Ying Shu: "Following the rules, I will tell you what I can say, Lord Shenyuan Palace." Before Yu Yu, I was robbed and killed. I later found out that the person who robbed and killed the palace king was not from Northern Zhao, but from Northern Qi. However, this person failed to rob and kill, but he was not captured by me, and Northern Qi did not have any military reinforcements. I didn't care about the signs of Northern Zhao, but my father ordered me to search for this person's whereabouts. If I find him, I will kill him immediately.

I tracked him to Huainan, but I am still unable to determine his exact whereabouts. The person I originally planned to interrogate today turned out to be the one who provided the fake name of Beiqi Xizuo. There is no difference between official forgery and genuine documents, so only by arresting him can I learn from him where Xizuo is hiding.

But this plan was disrupted by fifth brother and you. Wang Wuniang, if you want to dare to take the responsibility, you must help me complete my mission. "

Yingshu:......

She felt that Sikong Yuehu was playing rogue, but she didn't have enough evidence.

"Originally, if fifth brother and you had not come to Huainan, our actions would not have been hindered at all. Not only did you come, but you also disclosed your identity. In order to claim credit, the Huainan governor actually asked the state guards to strengthen the defense tonight. We almost returned My whereabouts have been exposed, so I have no choice but to hide in this public post tonight, I believe that the state guards will not even inspect this place." Sikong Yuehu emphasized again.

Yingshu looked at the roof and sighed to herself. This time her eloquence was completely useless.

"You don't need to waste so much words, Mr. Ansuku. Your Highness, since you claim to be following His Majesty's secret orders, can it be that Nanci and I can't have any convenience?"

Sikong Yuehu nodded with satisfaction: "When fifth brother comes back, I will naturally share the same room with him. If you think I am an eyesore now, you can go outside and enjoy the moon for a while."

After saying that, the man sat down on the bench, picked up the scroll that Ying Shu had left behind, and read a few lines of words. He raised his eyebrows and raised his gaze: "Huainan's scenery and history are very good. Where can I go?" No matter how far you have learned, it is only a little less eager to learn than to learn about the world without leaving home, but it really impressed me... again."

Regarding Sikong Yuehu's extremely "accurate" comments, Yingshu's heart was completely unmoved. She would not forget this man's sharp teeth and vicious tongue because of this. Although she had never figured out what exactly this man's prejudice against her was. Formed, how will it be eliminated in the future, but now Yingshu is really unwilling to be alone in a room with this person.

She slammed the door and went out, taking a deep breath under the verandah.

It was very frustrating. Not only was the "bird occupying the dove's nest", but I also had to stand guard for the "bird".

Originally there were only two "shangyou rooms" in the public post office, one for Nanci to live in and one for Yingshu to live temporarily. Nanci's room had no lights on, so no wonder Sikong Yuehu broke into her room exactly. , Yingshu sighed, she would have gone to bed earlier if she had known, what kind of book was she reading? She didn't believe that she blew out the lamp first, and Sikong Yuehu dared to break in directly and "hijack" her.

Suddenly, she remembered that she should ask this person what happened to the dagger that Sikong Yuehu "sent" gave her, but Yingshu really couldn't bear the idleness of being "used". She didn't want to deal with the guest room at all now. The old man in there, that’s all, let’s leave it to the future to ask why.

For a moment, the moon moved very slowly in the sea of ​​stars and clouds, and the wind seemed to become cooler. Yingshu listened to the voices and laughter in the yard separated by the wall, and she did not feel depressed at all. It was as if no one noticed that the public post was already there. Someone sneaked in quietly. It seems that Huainan City has always been peaceful. Today, the Huainan Governor ordered to strengthen patrols and it was indeed just as if he had never been negligent. The officials in this public post obviously did not think that there would be "thieves" "You dare to break in without any awareness of precautions.

Xuanying was not in the public post, otherwise she would not have noticed it. Yingshu couldn't help but think of her maid who was highly skilled in martial arts, and sighed again.

Inside the door, Sikong Yuehu heard a sigh, curled up the corners of his lips, and leaned on the table more leisurely. He had already put down the book. He had already read all the scenery, places and history, including the places on the Huai River side. The lost land, those once prosperous states and counties, those literary and elegant figures, the wars continued, and the customs and customs were not annihilated by the gold and iron horses, until the disaster of overthrow inevitably came, the clothes and clothes moved south, and the survivors were After being captured, only the mountains and rivers were left as before. The vegetation in the four seasons was flourishing and withered. Countless homes were truly destroyed. The rule of China experienced unprecedented catastrophes.

As he read those old books, a belief became firm in his heart. The scenery and geography of China's Kyushu should not become "out of print". In the dust of history, even if the rule of the Sikong family will inevitably come to an end, this land will always be preserved. The land cultivated by the rule of the Chinese nation, the splendid mountains and rivers sung by countless celebrities, the scenery and geography will still be restored and extended. The destroyed homes will one day be rebuilt into a paradise for thousands of people to rest and live, and they will still sing those ancient songs. The songs will not forget the local language, and the history of China will still be recorded in Chinese words. No matter noble or common, everyone will be proud of the glory of the Chinese people.

At this time, he has officially taken a solid step towards his faith.

On the battlefield, sighs cannot be heard. Soldiers and soldiers can miss their relatives in their hometown, their elderly parents, their newlywed wives, and their childish children, but such longing can only turn into a spirit of courage, not a sigh of helplessness. , and only when we return to a place that is still peaceful, can we hear the noise of urging people to drink, the playing of pianos and flutes to add to the fun, and the long sigh of annoyance and dissatisfaction from a certain little girl who is not sad.

He was real. He temporarily left the battlefield of life and death where guns, swords, trees, and golden drums filled the sky, and returned to the peaceful land he was determined to protect. He never felt that when faced with the crisis of the country, all people, whether old or weak, women or children, should be cautious. Their due joys, angers and sorrows should not be exploited for things beyond their power.

There are women who look at the bright moon in the sky and long for the person they love, there are old men who look at their toddler grandson and feel they have nothing to ask for, there are children who cry because there is no candy at home, their lives are like this. Simple and fresh.

It's also like the middle-aged girl Shi who came to Huainan for some reason. At this moment, she should be eager to kick his kneecaps.

On nights like this, he really missed Jiankang's close relatives and friends, and he finally had the leisure to miss them.
