New·New Consort
Chapter 32
In the upper room of the Huailai station, there are all kinds of notes pasted, all of which are poems and lines selected by Wang Zhinan for the nine-door admiral Dongfang Sheng in the past few days.Under the subtle influence of these affectionate poems, Dongfang Sheng, a dude who didn't read much since childhood, was able to recite a few poems.
At the beginning, Dongfang Sheng was quite complacent, but at this moment, he has completely put this joy behind him.
Since Feng Suzhen entered the city on the [-]th, she has never appeared in front of people again.
A person from outside hastily entered the room: "Young Master!" Chen Baishou, the school lieutenant of Zhaoxin who was born in the Hou's Mansion, looked a bit ugly, "Young Master, I finally found out. The person who went to the princess's walk in the evening three days ago is From the Hui Gang. On that day, Princess Tianxiang left him directly in the mansion, and her subordinates followed him for a few days before purchasing from their mansion..."
"Hui Gang..." Dongfang Sheng murmured, "Recalling that time..." He paused and changed his words, "I remember that in the early morning five days ago, the Hui Gang vacated the previously rented residence, and all six people in 210 left the city? "
Chen Baishou bit the bullet and said, "Yes."
Dongfang Sheng stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Where is that person!?"
Although he didn't know why the young master used such a jerky question, Chen Baishou still knelt down on his knees, and replied in a rough voice: "Subordinate——haven't found out yet."
Dongfang Sheng slapped the table hard: "Hateful—this hate will last forever!" After speaking, he was stunned, and immediately became more annoyed. He raised his hand and overturned the table in front of him, tearing off the sticker. The words on the wall beside it: "Go!"
He rushed out of the room angrily, and knocked over Wang Zhinan who was carefully holding another hundred good sentences to offer the treasure.
Winter is approaching, and the night is getting earlier and earlier. Zhang Sibai, the official at the south gate of the city, yawned boredly. Recently, there are many people leaving the city and few people entering the city. At this time, except for a few lazy gatekeepers Tuqiu Ba, hadn't seen anyone coming in or out for half an hour.He got up and loosened his muscles and bones, and was about to get someone to be locked up, but he saw a few people jogging over from a few feet away.
He said his voice was bad, but he kept the door honestly, and checked the road citation documents.
After checking, there was an uproar suddenly behind him. In the noise, it seemed that someone was chanting words such as "princess", "prince", "admiral of the nine gates" and so on.Zhang Si couldn't help itching in his heart, he turned his head and looked back frequently. The guards under him were also quite curious. After this interruption, they put all the people into the city without paying close attention. When they saw the last slender man in black When the thin, dark-faced young man came in, he hastily locked the door and ran to watch the excitement.
There is excitement to watch, how can there be less Tianxiang, especially, this excitement is happening in front of my own house.
At this moment, she was holding a bowl of hot trotter soup and looking out from the noisy door.
As the sky was getting dark and the flames were shining brightly, Dongfang Sheng stood in front of the door immediately, his eyes seemed to burst into flames: "Zhang Shaomin, stop talking nonsense, hand him over!"
Zhang Shaomin outside the door calmly smiled and said, "This is where the crown prince is now. What do you mean by the admiral's words? Who do you want me to hand over to?"
Dongfang Sheng sneered: "The governor has been here for more than a month, and he respects His Royal Highness as a guest and host. The well water does not violate the river water. Zhang Shaomin, you should not use clever words to get caught. I have nothing to ask for now, only that Huizhou native! Hand him over Give me!"
This little overlord's words actually became more advanced, Zhang Shaomin showed embarrassment: "The admiral's words are not understood by the officials. There are two phoenix sons and grandchildren living in this mansion. It's getting late, and the admiral should go back sooner." Rest, so as not to disturb the nobleman's rest."
Seeing Zhang Shaomin practicing Tai Chi, Dongfang Sheng said calmly: "What's wrong with being sparse, what's wrong with being crazy, and what's wrong with disturbing you!" He came here in a hurry today, and he didn't bring any soldiers from the Beijing camp, but he brought all of them with him like his arms and fingers. When he raised his hand a little bit, the dozen or so soldiers of his own mansion, everyone shouted and stepped forward, showing a cold light, not at all afraid that the man who lives in the mansion is the current crown prince.
The surrounding people were in an uproar.
Dongfang Sheng looked around, calmed down the noise around him with his eyes, turned his head and continued to say in a cold voice: "I have been here for many days, and I have acted according to the order, and I have not overstepped the rules. Zhang Shaomin, you should know what I mean! If it fails today I wish, I, Dongfang Sheng, am not afraid to fight to the death with you!"
Zhang Shaomin couldn't help but clenched his fists when he yelled these words in front of so many people. Although Shan Shiwu had sent more people to defend him in the past few days, Shan Shiwen also slipped out from the back door just now to Huai. He came to Wei to ask for help, but Dongfang Sheng was an imperial envoy in name. If he really saw the sword, it would be really ugly, and the good reputation the prince had accumulated in his arms would also be affected.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and the scene could be heard immediately. At this time, a strange noise was particularly noticeable.
Tian Xiang leaned against the door and sipped the hot soup, and the sound of breathing and snorting was clearly audible, if Madam Zhuang was here, she would definitely have calloused her ears.
At dusk, this sound was particularly heart-wrenching, and there was a faint smell of broth, and some young ones couldn't hold it back, and swallowed the excessively secreted saliva.
Dongfang Sheng looked up, looked over the crowd, saw Tianxiang drinking soup, and snorted coldly: "Princess is so excited, I will go to work on an empty stomach, and you will enjoy watching the show. It's really a wealthy family that stinks of wine and meat. ..." He felt that this sentence seemed inappropriate, so he didn't finish.
"Food is the most important thing for the people. This time is the time for dinner in my house. If Mr. Zhang is not afraid of ignoring you, according to my opinion, I have to come out to greet you after eating," Tianxiang Hululu said. After drinking all the soup, he said with a smile, "Since the admiral of the Nine Gates has come to the humble house, it is not easy for you to go back on an empty stomach. Today I got a menu and asked the chef to simmer a pot of hoofs. How about a bowl of soup?"
As he said that, someone came out with a bucket of hot soup. Tianxiang rolled up his sleeves, stirred the soup eagerly with a wooden spoon, and shared the soup.
Zhang Shaomin laughed, took the bowl from Tianxiang, took a big sip, and praised: "The mouth is fat and glutinous, the mouth is soft and elastic, the gum is smooth, thick, fresh and warm - good soup, good soup Everyone, let’s drink a bowl to warm you up!” He called his soldiers and borrowed guards over to drink soup, and the tense situation just now disintegrated, and he saw a warm and fragrant white mist.
One side drank happily, but the other side felt even more hungry. Someone had already handed the soup to the soldiers of the Houfu, but Dongfang Sheng kept a sullen face, so no one dared to accept this "bribe" from the enemy.
Tianxiang beckoned to Dongfang Sheng: "Dongfang Sheng—" she called softly, and then slowly added, "Brother."
Dongfang Sheng froze, turned his face and said, "Princess, what kind of medicine did you take wrongly?" Ever since she was a child, Tianxiang had never called his brother, even though they were of the same origin and had a common grandfather.
Tianxiang stepped forward and said calmly: "You are my elder brother, there is nothing wrong with calling you elder brother. Why, you are an elder brother, don't you want to drink this bowl of soup from my younger sister?" He took a bowl of soup from the tray and handed it directly to Dongfang Sheng, "Isn't it just to meet someone? Why are you so loud? You can see it, but this person is timid, so it's not easy to hand it over to you directly. It just so happens that you come You have been pregnant for a long time, but you have not been a guest at my house, after drinking this bowl of soup, you go in with me alone, and the man will interrogate you, how about it?"
Dongfang Sheng thought for a while, raised his hand to take the broth and drank it down, then turned his head and said to his subordinates: "You guys wait here!"
Chen Baishou was in a hurry: "Captain, let this subordinate accompany you—"
Dongfang Sheng waved his hand and said: "They are the only ones who guard against me, so why should Bendu guard against them!" He smacked his lips, "This soup is good, you can drink it!"
Tianxiang smiled, turned around and led Dongfang Sheng to the courtyard.
Dongfang Sheng followed Tianxiang through the black gate and stepped into this small courtyard that he hadn't stepped into for nearly two months.
This yard is really too small, square and square, with two entrances and two exits, except for a row of small poplar trees carried by the wall, there is not even a garden, which can be seen almost at a glance.As he was walking, he looked at the surrounding furnishings, and suddenly thought of something, and said sinisterly: "Sister Tianxiang, why do you only see Zhang Shaomin, but not my good brother-in-law Feng Shao-min?"
Tianxiang replied casually: "Oh, him, it's dinner time, so it's time to eat!"
Dongfang Sheng was greatly surprised: "Feng, Feng Shaomin are here?" After the words fell, he realized that he was fascinated, and hurriedly changed his cold face.
Tian Xiangdao didn't answer, just pushed open the small room near the back door: "Here, the person you are looking for is inside, go in and ask yourself!" After finishing speaking, he stood at the door without any intention of following in.
A flash of hesitation flashed in Dongfang Sheng's heart, but he went in anyway.
In just one cup of tea, Dongfang Sheng came out with a sullen face. In fact, when he first saw the Huizhou man's figure, he knew it in his heart, but he still questioned him carefully in disbelief.
"Didn't you say that Feng Shaomin is here?" Dongfang Shenghu asked Tianxiang with a face, "Listen to what the kid said inside, your good son-in-law has clearly left the city in disguise!"
"I only said that he ate, but didn't say that he ate at my place." Tian Xiang opened her palms with an innocent face, "I don't know where he ate. Let me leave the city! Governor of the East, you care so much about her, but what do you know?"
"Hmph!" Dongfang Sheng knew that Feng Suzhen was scared away because he frightened the snake, but he still said vaguely, "Your own husband, how could you not know!"
Tianxiang muttered helplessly: "It's not that I want to marry..."
Only then did Dongfang Sheng remember that when Tianxiang got married, she was so reluctant in every possible way, and immediately became more convinced of Feng Suzhen's identity, and he became more protective in his heart, so that he kept silent. He only snorted, and walked hurriedly Step out of the courtyard.
As soon as he went out, he saw his own soldiers slurping up their soup and eating their meat. Dongfang Sheng coughed with a cold face, and Chen Baishou and others immediately threw away their bowls and stood up straight.
Dongfang Sheng felt even more disturbed when he saw their shiny mouths, and ordered him to go back home.
He walked too hastily and accidentally knocked down an old man with a white head when striding through the crowd of onlookers. Fortunately, the young man in black at the side reached out to support him in time, so he didn't break a whole body of old bones.
Dongfang Sheng stopped for a while, but he didn't stop, and went straight to the post house.
The opera singers were gone, and the excitement was gone. After the onlookers dispersed, Shan Shiwu just arrived belatedly with his fully armed Huailaiwei soldiers.
Zhang Shaomin had no choice but to explain, and sent the reinforcements away in a good voice. When he returned to the room, he still couldn't believe it: "Princess, what did you tell him? How did Dongfang Sheng go so fast?" ?” He came fiercely and left in a hurry, why did he pack up and leave after drinking a bowl of soup?
"I didn't give any extra instructions. Whatever Fang Dasheng said to us that day, I just told him what he said, and only saved the joint of the son-in-law asking him to bring me a letter. As for why Dongfang Sheng went so fast—" Tian Xiang He showed an expression of thinking hard, and finally stretched his back to Zhang Shaomin indifferently—"Probably, he must be hungry."
Feng Suzhen, Feng Suzhen, I have delayed you for three days, and I have hidden your whereabouts, so you have to run as far away as possible.
After Zhang Shaomin settled down to patrol the camp, he went to the neighboring county government office to rest.Tianxiang was exceptionally calm, so she went to the study to appease the prince and Xiaohuaer. Although the two seemed not to be affected at all, Li Zhaoting was guarding the door with a gun in his hand, still looking tense as if he was guarding the door.
Tianxiang went to the back kitchen again, and praised the cook Shi Niangzi a lot. In order to prevent Dongfang Sheng from finding out the news and losing patience, it was Tianxiang who asked her to reveal Fang Dasheng's identity when she went out to buy.
Shi Niangzi was overjoyed by her praise, but she still said cautiously: "I'm usually a stupid person, if it wasn't for the order of the young master—the princess, I wouldn't dare to tell outsiders about the affairs of the master's family."
Tianxiang comforted her with a smile, and then praised: "Today's stewed soybean trotter soup is also very good, but unfortunately I only drank half a bowl."
Shi Niangzi prefers Tianxiang to praise her cooking skills, and she is so happy that she can't see her teeth and see her eyes: "I'm not boasting, my stew cooking skills are the first in Huailai City, you see, the son-in-law who doesn't like meat usually just drank it I have three bowls of soup! The princess loves to drink it, so I will continue to stew it tomorrow! I heard that the butcher king is going to slaughter a pig of three hundred catties tomorrow..."
Tianxiang nodded frequently following Lady Shi's nagging, rewarded her with five taels of silver and asked her to buy a half fan of pig tomorrow, then turned and walked towards her bedroom.
Just when she opened the door of her room, a flash of lightning flashed in her mind——
"You see, the son-in-law who doesn't like meat usually drank three bowls of soup from me just now..."
The son-in-law...don't like meat...just... drank three bowls of soup...
Son-in-law?just?
just? !
Her mind was confused, her body froze when she stepped into the room, and she almost fell down in her bedroom.
She rushed a few steps in embarrassment and stood firm, but heard a soft muffled laugh in the room: "Why are you so careless?"
She stared blankly at the sound.
At the moment of the first day of the garrison, on the first watch, the sound of "boom-boom" knocking down the watch resounded outside the street, announcing the arrival of night.
The copper pot on the stove made a gurgling sound of boiling, Tianxiang stopped thinking, lifted the copper stove and filled Tang Pozi, and then stuffed Tang Pozi into the bedding.
The door creaked, and someone came in with a scent of soap locust. She jumped up from the bed and stammered, "Washed?"
The visitor put a piece of cotton cloth on his head, covering almost half of his face, but he said with a smile: "Well, I feel that I have washed away a few catties of dirt, and after washing, I feel that I have lost a lot of weight. "
Tianxiang chuckled: "It's not that exaggerated, although you scared me just now, but after all, you have only been traveling for seven or eight days, and there is so much dust everywhere - but, you must be very tired Now, go to bed first."
The man shook his head: "Sit down, I'll roast your hair first." Then he slowly moved a stool and sat down by the stove.
Tianxiang saw that his walking movements were different, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly got up and searched through boxes and cabinets, and found a bruise ointment.
She stepped forward hesitantly, and put the ointment by the table: "You have been riding the horse for a few days, if you have any damage, you can use this to smear it, I will go out and urge the prince to sleep."
After all, without waiting for anyone to respond, he hurried out.
Halfway through September, the moon is bright and the sky is full of stars.
Tianxiang came back from the study, and was not in a hurry to go back to the bedroom, but started to walk in the yard,
Feng Suzhen's quiet return did not alarm anyone, except for her, the only one who knew about it was Shi Niangzi who was cleaning up the soup pot in the back kitchen when the front was in chaos.
Thinking about the scene at that time, Feng Suzhen, who was hungry, went into the kitchen and drank three bowls of broth. Tianxiang wanted to laugh, but couldn't help feeling distressed.
That Feng Suzhen, who made every sauce as leisurely and elegant as ink, went through all kinds of food and sleep to be so embarrassed?
She didn't bother to ask too much, and Feng Suzhen simply said, "Go to Daming Mansion with Huibang and others, and then return alone."
This journey is two thousand miles...
Tianxiang's heart was full of confusion, and she unconsciously murmured: "Run away, why did you come back again?"
Suddenly a voice came from behind: "What? The princess thinks I came back too early?"
Tianxiang was taken aback, turned around and looked, only to see Feng Suzhen dressed in white, her black hair tied up with a jade crown, and she went down the steps leisurely, walking towards herself in a refreshing manner.
Tianxiang couldn't say clearly, so she could only say: "I thought you would come back with them after the new year in Huizhou."
Feng Suzhen came to her side and was silent for a moment: "I also thought that I would go to Huizhou."
Tianxiang didn't talk to her, and waited quietly for her next words.
Feng Suzhen's subsequent words were a bit teasing: "But I suddenly remembered what the princess taught me, and felt that since I am in a high position, it's better not to do everything myself."
Tianxiang smiled, and didn't ask this question any more.
Feng Suzhen asked: "Does the princess know about my plan?"
Tianxiang thought for a while and nodded.
Xu Hui merchants bought grain at high prices and lured traders from all over the world to transport grain to the north. The spring drought in the coming year was over, and the price of grain in the north was naturally stabilized.Then, Heng Taisheng, who had been stabbed by the military land coupons, borrowed money to buy grain, and used the profits from Chahar as a bet to protect the profits of the merchants.
She couldn't help asking: "Let me ask you, if the battle of Chahar in Laichun is not over. My father and emperor used up the national treasury because of repairing Xiantai, what will you use to fulfill the promise to the Hui people?"
"If there is really a famine, it will be too late to make any plans. It will be a matter of tens of millions of lives. But wealth is like running water, it grows when it moves, and dries up when it is still. Moving left and right, it will always come out," Feng Suzhenxiu Eyebrows raised lightly, Yan Yan said with a smile, "Besides, I have such a big backer like you, what should I be afraid of?"
Then you still want to get rid of my backer at every turn?Tianxiang secretly cursed in her heart.
Naturally, she couldn't say this, she stretched out her hand and pulled Feng Suzhen's cheek.She knew how to measure, and she withdrew her hand before the man could react and break free: "It's also thanks to you that you didn't just leave such a mess and walk away."
Feng Suzhen's smile suddenly disappeared, and her expression darkened. .
After a long time, Tianxiang heard her let out a sigh of relief: "Actually, I have thought about whether I should throw away these messy things and just go away."
"Then you, why..." Tianxiang didn't finish asking, her eyes were full of inquiries.
Feng Suzhen didn't say anything, just looked up at the moon in the sky, and said softly, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Tianxiang looked up to the sky with her eyes, and saw that there was no cloud in the sky, the moon was shining like a cloud, and the silvery white light was falling down, and it was falling on Feng Suzhen's beautiful face, as if her whole body was shining.
Tianxiang narrowed her eyes, turned her face away and said, "Yes, the moonlight is really good."
"Princess...Tianxiang," Feng Suzhen suddenly turned around, "If I really go away and disappear, what will happen to you?"
Tianxiang's heart was shocked, and she asked in a voiceless voice, "What do you mean?"
Feng Suzhen seriously replied: "I am your son-in-law, if I disappear out of thin air as a son-in-law, what will happen to you as a princess?"
Tianxiang was quiet for a moment and replied: "It's nothing."
Feng Suzhen was a little surprised: "Oh?"
Tianxiang suppressed the uneasiness that suddenly rose in her heart, and said calmly: "I have been used to being arrogant and mischievous since I was a child, and my father also dotes on me. If one day, my son-in-law disappears, I will have various reasons to explain it."
After all, she turned slightly, not looking at Feng Suzhen's expression: "Why, you've known me for so long, don't you know my temperament?"
She didn't wait for the expected confession or formal farewell, but only waited for a smile that was almost a sigh——
Feng Suzhen's voice was gentle and quiet: "At first, I thought the princess was just a wayward and savage nobleman. Only after getting along with her did I realize that the princess's temperament is like a bright moon, transparent and bright."
Tianxiang turned around unexpectedly, and saw Feng Suzhen walk out of the shadow, walking towards herself: "I could have just walked away, but I really can't bear to make this bright moon dusty because of me."
Tianxiang was taken aback for a moment, but was speechless.
What can she say?
To directly expose the lie that Feng Suzhen kept tightly hidden even if she died?Or should he generously comfort her and persuade her not to care about Princess Tianxiang's chaste reputation, and just leave without any worries?
"Oh," Feng Suzhen stretched out her hand slowly, patted Tianxiang's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Don't worry, I promised you, I will give you an explanation."
Tianxiang's heart tightened, she grabbed Feng Suzhen's sleeve and asked, "Explain? What do you want to do?"
But I saw a tired smile on Feng Suzhen's face: "Okay, princess, I'm really tired, let's rest." Her tone was soft, as if coaxing a child.
Tianxiang knew that she was avoiding the serious and taking the light of the light, but felt sorry for her exhaustion, so she suppressed her doubts and let her rest.
Not long after, the candles in each room in the courtyard were extinguished, and the whole courtyard fell into a peaceful sleep, only the clear light remained.
Four drums sounded, and Feng Suzhen opened her eyes.
The fourth watch has arrived.
Tianxiang breathes long and peacefully, and it is the time when she is most deeply asleep, which makes people feel quiet and peaceful when listening to it.
Feng Suzhen got up and sat quietly for a while, felt for her robe and changed into it.
She turned her head to look at Tianxiang's sleeping face by the moonlight for a while, seeing her eyebrows fluttering, she was convinced that she was in a deep sleep, and then quietly opened the door.
Unexpectedly, a tall black figure suddenly jumped out of the door and pinned down her arms!
Feng Suzhen's heart sank suddenly, she shrank suddenly, broke free from his restraint, and was about to close the door, but the man stretched out his arm and forcibly pinned the door.
"It really is you! Don't move, I'll call someone over!" The man threatened in a low voice.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Suzhen was horrified, the person who came was actually Dongfang Sheng!She gritted her teeth and said nothing, and punched Dongfang Sheng directly in the face with a long fist.
Feng Suzhen was known for her internal skills, but Dongfang Sheng was a foreigner's kung fu acquired on the battlefield. Seeing this, she quickly and easily grabbed her wrist, and took her out of the room with a swipe of force.
Feng Suzhen was not willing to be restrained, she struggled left and right, and the two wrestled with each other in the yard.Feng Suzhen's body was nimble, and she suddenly turned around and hit her elbow. Dongfang Sheng was in pain, and couldn't help but let go, making Feng Suzhen jump out of the restraint.
Dongfang Sheng lowered his voice and sneered, "I didn't come here to fight you, or I couldn't beat you, and it's not beautiful to make a fuss!"
Feng Suzhen clenched her teeth, and said in a cold voice, "The Governor of the East is visiting at night, what exactly is he trying to do?"
"Why do you not know why I came here?" Dongfang Sheng smiled wryly, "Feng Suzhen, I know you are Feng Suzhen!"
Feng Suzhen categorically denied: "No, I am not!"
"No, I know, you are a woman, you are Feng Suzhen." Dongfang Sheng's eyes sparkled, and he strode forward, "You are my Dongfang Sheng's wife, and you are Feng Suzhen. I am not lying to you, I have real evidence Yes." Dongfang Sheng said, his face burned unconsciously, but fortunately Feng Suzhen didn't look at him at all.But he felt ashamed again, and grabbed Feng Suzhen's wrist again, forcefully twisting her face towards him.
Feng Suzhen was not willing to give in easily, and immediately worked hard.Dongfang Sheng said harshly in a low voice: "If you don't want me to yell that Feng Shaomin is Feng Suzhen, then don't move." Feng Suzhen froze, looked up at Dongfang Sheng, and remained silent.
Dongfang Sheng was determined, and raised his voice slightly angrily: "It really is you—"
Feng Suzhen interrupted him, she looked back at Tianxiang's bedroom: "This is not a place to talk - where did you come in?" Although the backyard where she and Tianxiang lived was not as heavily guarded as the front yard where the prince lived , but the outer walls of the small courtyard are guarded, even if a bird flies in, they can see clearly.
Dongfang Sheng closed his mouth, and walked towards the back wall with Feng Suzhen.
Feng Suzhen went in without knowing it, and as she was walking, she was suddenly staggered by Dongfang Sheng - "Be careful".
Feng Suzhen stood firm and took a closer look, a hole suddenly appeared on the ground at the base of the back wall.
Only then did she notice that Dongfang Sheng's head and face were covered with dirt.
Dongfang Sheng pushed her to go through first, and then he followed.
Feng Suzhen groped forward and couldn't help asking, "Where did this hole come from?"
Dongfang Sheng said in a dull voice: "In the evening, I vaguely saw a person like you on the street, but I didn't dare to confirm it, so I sent someone to the yard next to yours to dig this hole, and it was not until four o'clock that I dug it through."
Feng Suzhen was silent, the west side of the small courtyard was the government office, and the east side of the courtyard was two feet away from the backyard where she and Tianxiang lived. At first Zhang Shaomin planned to rent the next yard to live in, but later he gave up because it was inconvenient to defend, but he did not expect to be defeated by Dongfang Sheng Take advantage of the loophole.
Feng Suzhen got out of the tunnel and saw that the huge courtyard was empty, and Dongfang Sheng must have cleared them all.
She walked into the middle of the yard without saying a word.
When Dongfang Sheng climbed up out of breath, the remaining moonlight illuminated the dreaming figure in front of him. He watched quietly, and couldn't help murmuring: "After the farewell, we meet each other, how many times the dream is the same as the king... "He suddenly felt that the sentences Wang Zhinan had prepared for him were somewhat useful.
Feng Suzhen felt cold behind her back, took a step and said in a cold voice: "How dare you dream with the Eastern Governor?"
Dongfang Sheng smiled, and said sadly: "It's really you, you're still alive...why do you feign death to avoid me?"
Feng Suzhen said coldly: "Since I want to marry you, I naturally want to die."
"You, what do you want from me? What's wrong with me, you would rather die than marry me?" Dongfang Sheng was full of frustration, and in just a moment, he made his own inferences, gnashing his teeth: "The emperor and I I said, 'A woman is a stubborn animal, as long as she has a man in her heart, she will never forget him'! Don't tell me you've single-mindedly identified that weak Li Zhaoting? Feng Suzhen, I can't compare Him? In terms of identity, appearance, and ability, how can I not compare to that Li Zhaoting?! How can Li Zhaoting be worthy of you?!"
Feng Suzhen was aroused by his questioning tone, and said angrily: "Why do you want to compare with Li Zhaoting? Li Zhaoting is not good enough for me, so you think you are good enough for me?"
"I'm not good enough for you?" Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but raise his voice, "I'm not good enough for you? How can I not be good enough for you? In terms of status, I'm of royal blood and have a noble status. What's your dissatisfaction? In terms of appearance..." He paused, and looked at "Feng Shaomin" in front of him. I don't know where it went!"
"..." Feng Suzhen laughed, "What about ability? How about virtue? You are not as good as me in writing, you are not as good as me in martial arts, you are not as good as me, you take things by force, you do evil, but you still dare to say that you are worthy of me?"
She spoke too fast, and Dongfang Sheng was overwhelmed. After a moment of surprise, he asked in surprise: "Then you want a man with better literary talents and better kung fu than you?"
Feng Suzhen shook her head: "No, what I want is someone who I like from the bottom of my heart, someone who makes me happy by himself, instead of looking for an adult to make decisions for me like a three-year-old child after being rejected by me. , A dude who forcibly bestows a marriage!"
"You...Are you not afraid that I will expose your identity and make your Feng family ruined because of your deception?!" Dongfang Sheng was furious and threatened.
Feng Suzhen raised her head and said with a sneer, "Have you forgotten, you have already done this once, my Feng family, my family-broken-people-dead! Dongfang Sheng, I have already died once, you can never do this to me again I'm overwhelmed!"
Dongfang Sheng turned around and punched the loquat tree in the middle of the yard, his knuckles were bloody, and the trunk of the tree that he hugged was split open.
He turned his head and asked dejectedly: "In this case, why did you come back? Didn't you run away!"
Feng Suzhen stared at his bleeding fist, stepped forward suddenly, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, grabbed his hand, and wrapped it up for him.
"You..." Dongfang Sheng was surprised.
Feng Suzhen looked up at him: "Although I don't like you, you have a chance to get me."
Dongfang Sheng couldn't believe it: "What did you say?"
"What?!" Tianxiang in the tunnel was furious. She wanted to stand up straight, but she hit her face with dirt. She woke up and quickly covered her mouth and nose.
Even though the two of them fought as silently as possible, it still woke her up. She was thinking of going up to help her fist, but unexpectedly, the two of them started chatting?After she finally made up her mind to sneak into the tunnel, she actually heard such shocking words directly!
Tianxiang suddenly felt itchy scalp, as if some green grass had come out.
"Deal," Feng Suzhen said calmly, "I will make a deal with you. After the transaction is completed, I can let you have me."
Dongfang Sheng looked Feng Suzhen up and down, and said slowly: "Tell me, what deal are you going to do?"
Feng Suzhen said without hesitation: "It's very simple, change the course, abandon the dark and turn to the bright." She paused for a while, and continued, "Join the prince and send him back to Beijing respectfully; make a clean break with Yuxian and help me wait for the Qing emperor! When the traitor is eliminated, I... I will feign death to escape and commit myself to you."
Every word and every sentence is neat and crisp, with only a bit of delay in the last sentence.
Tianxiang clearly couldn't see Feng Suzhen's expression, but she could vaguely see her stubbornness from these words—is this what you plan to explain to me?
Dongfang Sheng's eyes shrank, and he suddenly seemed to see a woman from many years ago. She was wearing a red wedding dress, fierce and charming, but her brows were upside down, and her long sword pointed straight at—"Do you think the twisted melon is sweet?" ?"
And the person in front of him, although exactly the same as that woman, spoke calmly and restrainedly, as if he was not talking about his life's major event.
For a while, he couldn't put the two images together.
He murmured and asked, "Do you think twisted melons are sweet?"
Feng Suzhen sneered: "Usually, the twisted people don't care whether the melon is sweet or not, they only care about the current price of the melon." She raised her eyes to Dongfang Sheng, "I remember, you don't care, this melon is a twisted melon. It's still ripe." She smiled with sarcasm, and there was a bit of flattering charm on her usually cold face.
Dongfang Sheng couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to touch Feng Suzhen's face, but seeing Feng Suzhen take a step back vigilantly: "Commander, please respect yourself."
Dongfang Sheng slowly withdrew his hand, raised his head gradually, and resumed his usual proud demeanor: "Oh, do you really think that I, Dongfang Sheng, are stupid? How do I know that you are not lying to me? Just like a few days ago, if I ran away, wouldn't I lose my wife and lose my army?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to change his words.
Feng Suzhen chuckled, "So, you accepted the deal."
Dongfang Shenghu said with a straight face: "You just found an excuse to deceive me! If you are destined to break the contract, what kind of deal is it?"
Feng Suzhen said calmly, "I won't break the contract. And I didn't come here on a whim. Even if you don't come to visit tonight, I will take the initiative to come."
Dongfang Sheng snorted, "If I hadn't found out that you are Feng Suzhen... how would you..."
Feng Suzhen shook her head and smiled, "Yes! If you hadn't found out, I wouldn't have made such a bad move!"
Dongfang Sheng was annoyed: "Feng Suzhen, don't you think that I can only be at your mercy!"
Feng Suzhen laughed louder: "Yes, Governor of the East, you have a high status, so you have other ways to deal with me. But in detail, there are no more than two ways: one is to report to the imperial court and execute me, the female son-in-law who is a criminal who deceives the emperor; Two——" She suddenly approached, "—let Feng Shaomin disappear from the world, force me to stay by your side, and become your confinement."
She got too close, and the warm breath on the pinna immediately disturbed Dongfang Sheng's thoughts.He moved away as if he had been scalded, and after a while he said viciously: "No—I can still kill you, I can kill you right now!" He went straight to touch the long knife beside him, but grabbed It was only then that I remembered that I had taken off the long knife and thrown it aside in order to make it easier to get into the tunnel.
Feng Suzhen sensed his embarrassment, and went over to pick up the long knife in three steps and two steps, and handed it to Dongfang Sheng: "Yes, you can kill me-I, Feng Suzhen, am alone, alone, with no wealth inside and no wealth outside." Authority, life is like dust. But you have many fans, high position and authority. I have escaped thousands of miles away, but I have traveled thousands of miles, just relying on the word "believe". I believe in you, I believe in you For my giri, I believe there is a fire burning in your chest."
Dongfang Sheng lowered the hilt of the knife. He thought of something, and became suspicious again, "You keep saying that I am not worthy of you, but you are willing to commit yourself to me for the little prince. What do you think? He deserves it." Is it your allegiance? Or…”
Feng Suzhen frowned and said, "Eliminate traitors and help the country, this is what I have been thinking about. You don't need to think about it."
Dongfang Sheng sneered: "I don't know,
At the beginning, Dongfang Sheng was quite complacent, but at this moment, he has completely put this joy behind him.
Since Feng Suzhen entered the city on the [-]th, she has never appeared in front of people again.
A person from outside hastily entered the room: "Young Master!" Chen Baishou, the school lieutenant of Zhaoxin who was born in the Hou's Mansion, looked a bit ugly, "Young Master, I finally found out. The person who went to the princess's walk in the evening three days ago is From the Hui Gang. On that day, Princess Tianxiang left him directly in the mansion, and her subordinates followed him for a few days before purchasing from their mansion..."
"Hui Gang..." Dongfang Sheng murmured, "Recalling that time..." He paused and changed his words, "I remember that in the early morning five days ago, the Hui Gang vacated the previously rented residence, and all six people in 210 left the city? "
Chen Baishou bit the bullet and said, "Yes."
Dongfang Sheng stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Where is that person!?"
Although he didn't know why the young master used such a jerky question, Chen Baishou still knelt down on his knees, and replied in a rough voice: "Subordinate——haven't found out yet."
Dongfang Sheng slapped the table hard: "Hateful—this hate will last forever!" After speaking, he was stunned, and immediately became more annoyed. He raised his hand and overturned the table in front of him, tearing off the sticker. The words on the wall beside it: "Go!"
He rushed out of the room angrily, and knocked over Wang Zhinan who was carefully holding another hundred good sentences to offer the treasure.
Winter is approaching, and the night is getting earlier and earlier. Zhang Sibai, the official at the south gate of the city, yawned boredly. Recently, there are many people leaving the city and few people entering the city. At this time, except for a few lazy gatekeepers Tuqiu Ba, hadn't seen anyone coming in or out for half an hour.He got up and loosened his muscles and bones, and was about to get someone to be locked up, but he saw a few people jogging over from a few feet away.
He said his voice was bad, but he kept the door honestly, and checked the road citation documents.
After checking, there was an uproar suddenly behind him. In the noise, it seemed that someone was chanting words such as "princess", "prince", "admiral of the nine gates" and so on.Zhang Si couldn't help itching in his heart, he turned his head and looked back frequently. The guards under him were also quite curious. After this interruption, they put all the people into the city without paying close attention. When they saw the last slender man in black When the thin, dark-faced young man came in, he hastily locked the door and ran to watch the excitement.
There is excitement to watch, how can there be less Tianxiang, especially, this excitement is happening in front of my own house.
At this moment, she was holding a bowl of hot trotter soup and looking out from the noisy door.
As the sky was getting dark and the flames were shining brightly, Dongfang Sheng stood in front of the door immediately, his eyes seemed to burst into flames: "Zhang Shaomin, stop talking nonsense, hand him over!"
Zhang Shaomin outside the door calmly smiled and said, "This is where the crown prince is now. What do you mean by the admiral's words? Who do you want me to hand over to?"
Dongfang Sheng sneered: "The governor has been here for more than a month, and he respects His Royal Highness as a guest and host. The well water does not violate the river water. Zhang Shaomin, you should not use clever words to get caught. I have nothing to ask for now, only that Huizhou native! Hand him over Give me!"
This little overlord's words actually became more advanced, Zhang Shaomin showed embarrassment: "The admiral's words are not understood by the officials. There are two phoenix sons and grandchildren living in this mansion. It's getting late, and the admiral should go back sooner." Rest, so as not to disturb the nobleman's rest."
Seeing Zhang Shaomin practicing Tai Chi, Dongfang Sheng said calmly: "What's wrong with being sparse, what's wrong with being crazy, and what's wrong with disturbing you!" He came here in a hurry today, and he didn't bring any soldiers from the Beijing camp, but he brought all of them with him like his arms and fingers. When he raised his hand a little bit, the dozen or so soldiers of his own mansion, everyone shouted and stepped forward, showing a cold light, not at all afraid that the man who lives in the mansion is the current crown prince.
The surrounding people were in an uproar.
Dongfang Sheng looked around, calmed down the noise around him with his eyes, turned his head and continued to say in a cold voice: "I have been here for many days, and I have acted according to the order, and I have not overstepped the rules. Zhang Shaomin, you should know what I mean! If it fails today I wish, I, Dongfang Sheng, am not afraid to fight to the death with you!"
Zhang Shaomin couldn't help but clenched his fists when he yelled these words in front of so many people. Although Shan Shiwu had sent more people to defend him in the past few days, Shan Shiwen also slipped out from the back door just now to Huai. He came to Wei to ask for help, but Dongfang Sheng was an imperial envoy in name. If he really saw the sword, it would be really ugly, and the good reputation the prince had accumulated in his arms would also be affected.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and the scene could be heard immediately. At this time, a strange noise was particularly noticeable.
Tian Xiang leaned against the door and sipped the hot soup, and the sound of breathing and snorting was clearly audible, if Madam Zhuang was here, she would definitely have calloused her ears.
At dusk, this sound was particularly heart-wrenching, and there was a faint smell of broth, and some young ones couldn't hold it back, and swallowed the excessively secreted saliva.
Dongfang Sheng looked up, looked over the crowd, saw Tianxiang drinking soup, and snorted coldly: "Princess is so excited, I will go to work on an empty stomach, and you will enjoy watching the show. It's really a wealthy family that stinks of wine and meat. ..." He felt that this sentence seemed inappropriate, so he didn't finish.
"Food is the most important thing for the people. This time is the time for dinner in my house. If Mr. Zhang is not afraid of ignoring you, according to my opinion, I have to come out to greet you after eating," Tianxiang Hululu said. After drinking all the soup, he said with a smile, "Since the admiral of the Nine Gates has come to the humble house, it is not easy for you to go back on an empty stomach. Today I got a menu and asked the chef to simmer a pot of hoofs. How about a bowl of soup?"
As he said that, someone came out with a bucket of hot soup. Tianxiang rolled up his sleeves, stirred the soup eagerly with a wooden spoon, and shared the soup.
Zhang Shaomin laughed, took the bowl from Tianxiang, took a big sip, and praised: "The mouth is fat and glutinous, the mouth is soft and elastic, the gum is smooth, thick, fresh and warm - good soup, good soup Everyone, let’s drink a bowl to warm you up!” He called his soldiers and borrowed guards over to drink soup, and the tense situation just now disintegrated, and he saw a warm and fragrant white mist.
One side drank happily, but the other side felt even more hungry. Someone had already handed the soup to the soldiers of the Houfu, but Dongfang Sheng kept a sullen face, so no one dared to accept this "bribe" from the enemy.
Tianxiang beckoned to Dongfang Sheng: "Dongfang Sheng—" she called softly, and then slowly added, "Brother."
Dongfang Sheng froze, turned his face and said, "Princess, what kind of medicine did you take wrongly?" Ever since she was a child, Tianxiang had never called his brother, even though they were of the same origin and had a common grandfather.
Tianxiang stepped forward and said calmly: "You are my elder brother, there is nothing wrong with calling you elder brother. Why, you are an elder brother, don't you want to drink this bowl of soup from my younger sister?" He took a bowl of soup from the tray and handed it directly to Dongfang Sheng, "Isn't it just to meet someone? Why are you so loud? You can see it, but this person is timid, so it's not easy to hand it over to you directly. It just so happens that you come You have been pregnant for a long time, but you have not been a guest at my house, after drinking this bowl of soup, you go in with me alone, and the man will interrogate you, how about it?"
Dongfang Sheng thought for a while, raised his hand to take the broth and drank it down, then turned his head and said to his subordinates: "You guys wait here!"
Chen Baishou was in a hurry: "Captain, let this subordinate accompany you—"
Dongfang Sheng waved his hand and said: "They are the only ones who guard against me, so why should Bendu guard against them!" He smacked his lips, "This soup is good, you can drink it!"
Tianxiang smiled, turned around and led Dongfang Sheng to the courtyard.
Dongfang Sheng followed Tianxiang through the black gate and stepped into this small courtyard that he hadn't stepped into for nearly two months.
This yard is really too small, square and square, with two entrances and two exits, except for a row of small poplar trees carried by the wall, there is not even a garden, which can be seen almost at a glance.As he was walking, he looked at the surrounding furnishings, and suddenly thought of something, and said sinisterly: "Sister Tianxiang, why do you only see Zhang Shaomin, but not my good brother-in-law Feng Shao-min?"
Tianxiang replied casually: "Oh, him, it's dinner time, so it's time to eat!"
Dongfang Sheng was greatly surprised: "Feng, Feng Shaomin are here?" After the words fell, he realized that he was fascinated, and hurriedly changed his cold face.
Tian Xiangdao didn't answer, just pushed open the small room near the back door: "Here, the person you are looking for is inside, go in and ask yourself!" After finishing speaking, he stood at the door without any intention of following in.
A flash of hesitation flashed in Dongfang Sheng's heart, but he went in anyway.
In just one cup of tea, Dongfang Sheng came out with a sullen face. In fact, when he first saw the Huizhou man's figure, he knew it in his heart, but he still questioned him carefully in disbelief.
"Didn't you say that Feng Shaomin is here?" Dongfang Shenghu asked Tianxiang with a face, "Listen to what the kid said inside, your good son-in-law has clearly left the city in disguise!"
"I only said that he ate, but didn't say that he ate at my place." Tian Xiang opened her palms with an innocent face, "I don't know where he ate. Let me leave the city! Governor of the East, you care so much about her, but what do you know?"
"Hmph!" Dongfang Sheng knew that Feng Suzhen was scared away because he frightened the snake, but he still said vaguely, "Your own husband, how could you not know!"
Tianxiang muttered helplessly: "It's not that I want to marry..."
Only then did Dongfang Sheng remember that when Tianxiang got married, she was so reluctant in every possible way, and immediately became more convinced of Feng Suzhen's identity, and he became more protective in his heart, so that he kept silent. He only snorted, and walked hurriedly Step out of the courtyard.
As soon as he went out, he saw his own soldiers slurping up their soup and eating their meat. Dongfang Sheng coughed with a cold face, and Chen Baishou and others immediately threw away their bowls and stood up straight.
Dongfang Sheng felt even more disturbed when he saw their shiny mouths, and ordered him to go back home.
He walked too hastily and accidentally knocked down an old man with a white head when striding through the crowd of onlookers. Fortunately, the young man in black at the side reached out to support him in time, so he didn't break a whole body of old bones.
Dongfang Sheng stopped for a while, but he didn't stop, and went straight to the post house.
The opera singers were gone, and the excitement was gone. After the onlookers dispersed, Shan Shiwu just arrived belatedly with his fully armed Huailaiwei soldiers.
Zhang Shaomin had no choice but to explain, and sent the reinforcements away in a good voice. When he returned to the room, he still couldn't believe it: "Princess, what did you tell him? How did Dongfang Sheng go so fast?" ?” He came fiercely and left in a hurry, why did he pack up and leave after drinking a bowl of soup?
"I didn't give any extra instructions. Whatever Fang Dasheng said to us that day, I just told him what he said, and only saved the joint of the son-in-law asking him to bring me a letter. As for why Dongfang Sheng went so fast—" Tian Xiang He showed an expression of thinking hard, and finally stretched his back to Zhang Shaomin indifferently—"Probably, he must be hungry."
Feng Suzhen, Feng Suzhen, I have delayed you for three days, and I have hidden your whereabouts, so you have to run as far away as possible.
After Zhang Shaomin settled down to patrol the camp, he went to the neighboring county government office to rest.Tianxiang was exceptionally calm, so she went to the study to appease the prince and Xiaohuaer. Although the two seemed not to be affected at all, Li Zhaoting was guarding the door with a gun in his hand, still looking tense as if he was guarding the door.
Tianxiang went to the back kitchen again, and praised the cook Shi Niangzi a lot. In order to prevent Dongfang Sheng from finding out the news and losing patience, it was Tianxiang who asked her to reveal Fang Dasheng's identity when she went out to buy.
Shi Niangzi was overjoyed by her praise, but she still said cautiously: "I'm usually a stupid person, if it wasn't for the order of the young master—the princess, I wouldn't dare to tell outsiders about the affairs of the master's family."
Tianxiang comforted her with a smile, and then praised: "Today's stewed soybean trotter soup is also very good, but unfortunately I only drank half a bowl."
Shi Niangzi prefers Tianxiang to praise her cooking skills, and she is so happy that she can't see her teeth and see her eyes: "I'm not boasting, my stew cooking skills are the first in Huailai City, you see, the son-in-law who doesn't like meat usually just drank it I have three bowls of soup! The princess loves to drink it, so I will continue to stew it tomorrow! I heard that the butcher king is going to slaughter a pig of three hundred catties tomorrow..."
Tianxiang nodded frequently following Lady Shi's nagging, rewarded her with five taels of silver and asked her to buy a half fan of pig tomorrow, then turned and walked towards her bedroom.
Just when she opened the door of her room, a flash of lightning flashed in her mind——
"You see, the son-in-law who doesn't like meat usually drank three bowls of soup from me just now..."
The son-in-law...don't like meat...just... drank three bowls of soup...
Son-in-law?just?
just? !
Her mind was confused, her body froze when she stepped into the room, and she almost fell down in her bedroom.
She rushed a few steps in embarrassment and stood firm, but heard a soft muffled laugh in the room: "Why are you so careless?"
She stared blankly at the sound.
At the moment of the first day of the garrison, on the first watch, the sound of "boom-boom" knocking down the watch resounded outside the street, announcing the arrival of night.
The copper pot on the stove made a gurgling sound of boiling, Tianxiang stopped thinking, lifted the copper stove and filled Tang Pozi, and then stuffed Tang Pozi into the bedding.
The door creaked, and someone came in with a scent of soap locust. She jumped up from the bed and stammered, "Washed?"
The visitor put a piece of cotton cloth on his head, covering almost half of his face, but he said with a smile: "Well, I feel that I have washed away a few catties of dirt, and after washing, I feel that I have lost a lot of weight. "
Tianxiang chuckled: "It's not that exaggerated, although you scared me just now, but after all, you have only been traveling for seven or eight days, and there is so much dust everywhere - but, you must be very tired Now, go to bed first."
The man shook his head: "Sit down, I'll roast your hair first." Then he slowly moved a stool and sat down by the stove.
Tianxiang saw that his walking movements were different, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly got up and searched through boxes and cabinets, and found a bruise ointment.
She stepped forward hesitantly, and put the ointment by the table: "You have been riding the horse for a few days, if you have any damage, you can use this to smear it, I will go out and urge the prince to sleep."
After all, without waiting for anyone to respond, he hurried out.
Halfway through September, the moon is bright and the sky is full of stars.
Tianxiang came back from the study, and was not in a hurry to go back to the bedroom, but started to walk in the yard,
Feng Suzhen's quiet return did not alarm anyone, except for her, the only one who knew about it was Shi Niangzi who was cleaning up the soup pot in the back kitchen when the front was in chaos.
Thinking about the scene at that time, Feng Suzhen, who was hungry, went into the kitchen and drank three bowls of broth. Tianxiang wanted to laugh, but couldn't help feeling distressed.
That Feng Suzhen, who made every sauce as leisurely and elegant as ink, went through all kinds of food and sleep to be so embarrassed?
She didn't bother to ask too much, and Feng Suzhen simply said, "Go to Daming Mansion with Huibang and others, and then return alone."
This journey is two thousand miles...
Tianxiang's heart was full of confusion, and she unconsciously murmured: "Run away, why did you come back again?"
Suddenly a voice came from behind: "What? The princess thinks I came back too early?"
Tianxiang was taken aback, turned around and looked, only to see Feng Suzhen dressed in white, her black hair tied up with a jade crown, and she went down the steps leisurely, walking towards herself in a refreshing manner.
Tianxiang couldn't say clearly, so she could only say: "I thought you would come back with them after the new year in Huizhou."
Feng Suzhen came to her side and was silent for a moment: "I also thought that I would go to Huizhou."
Tianxiang didn't talk to her, and waited quietly for her next words.
Feng Suzhen's subsequent words were a bit teasing: "But I suddenly remembered what the princess taught me, and felt that since I am in a high position, it's better not to do everything myself."
Tianxiang smiled, and didn't ask this question any more.
Feng Suzhen asked: "Does the princess know about my plan?"
Tianxiang thought for a while and nodded.
Xu Hui merchants bought grain at high prices and lured traders from all over the world to transport grain to the north. The spring drought in the coming year was over, and the price of grain in the north was naturally stabilized.Then, Heng Taisheng, who had been stabbed by the military land coupons, borrowed money to buy grain, and used the profits from Chahar as a bet to protect the profits of the merchants.
She couldn't help asking: "Let me ask you, if the battle of Chahar in Laichun is not over. My father and emperor used up the national treasury because of repairing Xiantai, what will you use to fulfill the promise to the Hui people?"
"If there is really a famine, it will be too late to make any plans. It will be a matter of tens of millions of lives. But wealth is like running water, it grows when it moves, and dries up when it is still. Moving left and right, it will always come out," Feng Suzhenxiu Eyebrows raised lightly, Yan Yan said with a smile, "Besides, I have such a big backer like you, what should I be afraid of?"
Then you still want to get rid of my backer at every turn?Tianxiang secretly cursed in her heart.
Naturally, she couldn't say this, she stretched out her hand and pulled Feng Suzhen's cheek.She knew how to measure, and she withdrew her hand before the man could react and break free: "It's also thanks to you that you didn't just leave such a mess and walk away."
Feng Suzhen's smile suddenly disappeared, and her expression darkened. .
After a long time, Tianxiang heard her let out a sigh of relief: "Actually, I have thought about whether I should throw away these messy things and just go away."
"Then you, why..." Tianxiang didn't finish asking, her eyes were full of inquiries.
Feng Suzhen didn't say anything, just looked up at the moon in the sky, and said softly, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Tianxiang looked up to the sky with her eyes, and saw that there was no cloud in the sky, the moon was shining like a cloud, and the silvery white light was falling down, and it was falling on Feng Suzhen's beautiful face, as if her whole body was shining.
Tianxiang narrowed her eyes, turned her face away and said, "Yes, the moonlight is really good."
"Princess...Tianxiang," Feng Suzhen suddenly turned around, "If I really go away and disappear, what will happen to you?"
Tianxiang's heart was shocked, and she asked in a voiceless voice, "What do you mean?"
Feng Suzhen seriously replied: "I am your son-in-law, if I disappear out of thin air as a son-in-law, what will happen to you as a princess?"
Tianxiang was quiet for a moment and replied: "It's nothing."
Feng Suzhen was a little surprised: "Oh?"
Tianxiang suppressed the uneasiness that suddenly rose in her heart, and said calmly: "I have been used to being arrogant and mischievous since I was a child, and my father also dotes on me. If one day, my son-in-law disappears, I will have various reasons to explain it."
After all, she turned slightly, not looking at Feng Suzhen's expression: "Why, you've known me for so long, don't you know my temperament?"
She didn't wait for the expected confession or formal farewell, but only waited for a smile that was almost a sigh——
Feng Suzhen's voice was gentle and quiet: "At first, I thought the princess was just a wayward and savage nobleman. Only after getting along with her did I realize that the princess's temperament is like a bright moon, transparent and bright."
Tianxiang turned around unexpectedly, and saw Feng Suzhen walk out of the shadow, walking towards herself: "I could have just walked away, but I really can't bear to make this bright moon dusty because of me."
Tianxiang was taken aback for a moment, but was speechless.
What can she say?
To directly expose the lie that Feng Suzhen kept tightly hidden even if she died?Or should he generously comfort her and persuade her not to care about Princess Tianxiang's chaste reputation, and just leave without any worries?
"Oh," Feng Suzhen stretched out her hand slowly, patted Tianxiang's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Don't worry, I promised you, I will give you an explanation."
Tianxiang's heart tightened, she grabbed Feng Suzhen's sleeve and asked, "Explain? What do you want to do?"
But I saw a tired smile on Feng Suzhen's face: "Okay, princess, I'm really tired, let's rest." Her tone was soft, as if coaxing a child.
Tianxiang knew that she was avoiding the serious and taking the light of the light, but felt sorry for her exhaustion, so she suppressed her doubts and let her rest.
Not long after, the candles in each room in the courtyard were extinguished, and the whole courtyard fell into a peaceful sleep, only the clear light remained.
Four drums sounded, and Feng Suzhen opened her eyes.
The fourth watch has arrived.
Tianxiang breathes long and peacefully, and it is the time when she is most deeply asleep, which makes people feel quiet and peaceful when listening to it.
Feng Suzhen got up and sat quietly for a while, felt for her robe and changed into it.
She turned her head to look at Tianxiang's sleeping face by the moonlight for a while, seeing her eyebrows fluttering, she was convinced that she was in a deep sleep, and then quietly opened the door.
Unexpectedly, a tall black figure suddenly jumped out of the door and pinned down her arms!
Feng Suzhen's heart sank suddenly, she shrank suddenly, broke free from his restraint, and was about to close the door, but the man stretched out his arm and forcibly pinned the door.
"It really is you! Don't move, I'll call someone over!" The man threatened in a low voice.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Suzhen was horrified, the person who came was actually Dongfang Sheng!She gritted her teeth and said nothing, and punched Dongfang Sheng directly in the face with a long fist.
Feng Suzhen was known for her internal skills, but Dongfang Sheng was a foreigner's kung fu acquired on the battlefield. Seeing this, she quickly and easily grabbed her wrist, and took her out of the room with a swipe of force.
Feng Suzhen was not willing to be restrained, she struggled left and right, and the two wrestled with each other in the yard.Feng Suzhen's body was nimble, and she suddenly turned around and hit her elbow. Dongfang Sheng was in pain, and couldn't help but let go, making Feng Suzhen jump out of the restraint.
Dongfang Sheng lowered his voice and sneered, "I didn't come here to fight you, or I couldn't beat you, and it's not beautiful to make a fuss!"
Feng Suzhen clenched her teeth, and said in a cold voice, "The Governor of the East is visiting at night, what exactly is he trying to do?"
"Why do you not know why I came here?" Dongfang Sheng smiled wryly, "Feng Suzhen, I know you are Feng Suzhen!"
Feng Suzhen categorically denied: "No, I am not!"
"No, I know, you are a woman, you are Feng Suzhen." Dongfang Sheng's eyes sparkled, and he strode forward, "You are my Dongfang Sheng's wife, and you are Feng Suzhen. I am not lying to you, I have real evidence Yes." Dongfang Sheng said, his face burned unconsciously, but fortunately Feng Suzhen didn't look at him at all.But he felt ashamed again, and grabbed Feng Suzhen's wrist again, forcefully twisting her face towards him.
Feng Suzhen was not willing to give in easily, and immediately worked hard.Dongfang Sheng said harshly in a low voice: "If you don't want me to yell that Feng Shaomin is Feng Suzhen, then don't move." Feng Suzhen froze, looked up at Dongfang Sheng, and remained silent.
Dongfang Sheng was determined, and raised his voice slightly angrily: "It really is you—"
Feng Suzhen interrupted him, she looked back at Tianxiang's bedroom: "This is not a place to talk - where did you come in?" Although the backyard where she and Tianxiang lived was not as heavily guarded as the front yard where the prince lived , but the outer walls of the small courtyard are guarded, even if a bird flies in, they can see clearly.
Dongfang Sheng closed his mouth, and walked towards the back wall with Feng Suzhen.
Feng Suzhen went in without knowing it, and as she was walking, she was suddenly staggered by Dongfang Sheng - "Be careful".
Feng Suzhen stood firm and took a closer look, a hole suddenly appeared on the ground at the base of the back wall.
Only then did she notice that Dongfang Sheng's head and face were covered with dirt.
Dongfang Sheng pushed her to go through first, and then he followed.
Feng Suzhen groped forward and couldn't help asking, "Where did this hole come from?"
Dongfang Sheng said in a dull voice: "In the evening, I vaguely saw a person like you on the street, but I didn't dare to confirm it, so I sent someone to the yard next to yours to dig this hole, and it was not until four o'clock that I dug it through."
Feng Suzhen was silent, the west side of the small courtyard was the government office, and the east side of the courtyard was two feet away from the backyard where she and Tianxiang lived. At first Zhang Shaomin planned to rent the next yard to live in, but later he gave up because it was inconvenient to defend, but he did not expect to be defeated by Dongfang Sheng Take advantage of the loophole.
Feng Suzhen got out of the tunnel and saw that the huge courtyard was empty, and Dongfang Sheng must have cleared them all.
She walked into the middle of the yard without saying a word.
When Dongfang Sheng climbed up out of breath, the remaining moonlight illuminated the dreaming figure in front of him. He watched quietly, and couldn't help murmuring: "After the farewell, we meet each other, how many times the dream is the same as the king... "He suddenly felt that the sentences Wang Zhinan had prepared for him were somewhat useful.
Feng Suzhen felt cold behind her back, took a step and said in a cold voice: "How dare you dream with the Eastern Governor?"
Dongfang Sheng smiled, and said sadly: "It's really you, you're still alive...why do you feign death to avoid me?"
Feng Suzhen said coldly: "Since I want to marry you, I naturally want to die."
"You, what do you want from me? What's wrong with me, you would rather die than marry me?" Dongfang Sheng was full of frustration, and in just a moment, he made his own inferences, gnashing his teeth: "The emperor and I I said, 'A woman is a stubborn animal, as long as she has a man in her heart, she will never forget him'! Don't tell me you've single-mindedly identified that weak Li Zhaoting? Feng Suzhen, I can't compare Him? In terms of identity, appearance, and ability, how can I not compare to that Li Zhaoting?! How can Li Zhaoting be worthy of you?!"
Feng Suzhen was aroused by his questioning tone, and said angrily: "Why do you want to compare with Li Zhaoting? Li Zhaoting is not good enough for me, so you think you are good enough for me?"
"I'm not good enough for you?" Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but raise his voice, "I'm not good enough for you? How can I not be good enough for you? In terms of status, I'm of royal blood and have a noble status. What's your dissatisfaction? In terms of appearance..." He paused, and looked at "Feng Shaomin" in front of him. I don't know where it went!"
"..." Feng Suzhen laughed, "What about ability? How about virtue? You are not as good as me in writing, you are not as good as me in martial arts, you are not as good as me, you take things by force, you do evil, but you still dare to say that you are worthy of me?"
She spoke too fast, and Dongfang Sheng was overwhelmed. After a moment of surprise, he asked in surprise: "Then you want a man with better literary talents and better kung fu than you?"
Feng Suzhen shook her head: "No, what I want is someone who I like from the bottom of my heart, someone who makes me happy by himself, instead of looking for an adult to make decisions for me like a three-year-old child after being rejected by me. , A dude who forcibly bestows a marriage!"
"You...Are you not afraid that I will expose your identity and make your Feng family ruined because of your deception?!" Dongfang Sheng was furious and threatened.
Feng Suzhen raised her head and said with a sneer, "Have you forgotten, you have already done this once, my Feng family, my family-broken-people-dead! Dongfang Sheng, I have already died once, you can never do this to me again I'm overwhelmed!"
Dongfang Sheng turned around and punched the loquat tree in the middle of the yard, his knuckles were bloody, and the trunk of the tree that he hugged was split open.
He turned his head and asked dejectedly: "In this case, why did you come back? Didn't you run away!"
Feng Suzhen stared at his bleeding fist, stepped forward suddenly, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, grabbed his hand, and wrapped it up for him.
"You..." Dongfang Sheng was surprised.
Feng Suzhen looked up at him: "Although I don't like you, you have a chance to get me."
Dongfang Sheng couldn't believe it: "What did you say?"
"What?!" Tianxiang in the tunnel was furious. She wanted to stand up straight, but she hit her face with dirt. She woke up and quickly covered her mouth and nose.
Even though the two of them fought as silently as possible, it still woke her up. She was thinking of going up to help her fist, but unexpectedly, the two of them started chatting?After she finally made up her mind to sneak into the tunnel, she actually heard such shocking words directly!
Tianxiang suddenly felt itchy scalp, as if some green grass had come out.
"Deal," Feng Suzhen said calmly, "I will make a deal with you. After the transaction is completed, I can let you have me."
Dongfang Sheng looked Feng Suzhen up and down, and said slowly: "Tell me, what deal are you going to do?"
Feng Suzhen said without hesitation: "It's very simple, change the course, abandon the dark and turn to the bright." She paused for a while, and continued, "Join the prince and send him back to Beijing respectfully; make a clean break with Yuxian and help me wait for the Qing emperor! When the traitor is eliminated, I... I will feign death to escape and commit myself to you."
Every word and every sentence is neat and crisp, with only a bit of delay in the last sentence.
Tianxiang clearly couldn't see Feng Suzhen's expression, but she could vaguely see her stubbornness from these words—is this what you plan to explain to me?
Dongfang Sheng's eyes shrank, and he suddenly seemed to see a woman from many years ago. She was wearing a red wedding dress, fierce and charming, but her brows were upside down, and her long sword pointed straight at—"Do you think the twisted melon is sweet?" ?"
And the person in front of him, although exactly the same as that woman, spoke calmly and restrainedly, as if he was not talking about his life's major event.
For a while, he couldn't put the two images together.
He murmured and asked, "Do you think twisted melons are sweet?"
Feng Suzhen sneered: "Usually, the twisted people don't care whether the melon is sweet or not, they only care about the current price of the melon." She raised her eyes to Dongfang Sheng, "I remember, you don't care, this melon is a twisted melon. It's still ripe." She smiled with sarcasm, and there was a bit of flattering charm on her usually cold face.
Dongfang Sheng couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to touch Feng Suzhen's face, but seeing Feng Suzhen take a step back vigilantly: "Commander, please respect yourself."
Dongfang Sheng slowly withdrew his hand, raised his head gradually, and resumed his usual proud demeanor: "Oh, do you really think that I, Dongfang Sheng, are stupid? How do I know that you are not lying to me? Just like a few days ago, if I ran away, wouldn't I lose my wife and lose my army?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to change his words.
Feng Suzhen chuckled, "So, you accepted the deal."
Dongfang Shenghu said with a straight face: "You just found an excuse to deceive me! If you are destined to break the contract, what kind of deal is it?"
Feng Suzhen said calmly, "I won't break the contract. And I didn't come here on a whim. Even if you don't come to visit tonight, I will take the initiative to come."
Dongfang Sheng snorted, "If I hadn't found out that you are Feng Suzhen... how would you..."
Feng Suzhen shook her head and smiled, "Yes! If you hadn't found out, I wouldn't have made such a bad move!"
Dongfang Sheng was annoyed: "Feng Suzhen, don't you think that I can only be at your mercy!"
Feng Suzhen laughed louder: "Yes, Governor of the East, you have a high status, so you have other ways to deal with me. But in detail, there are no more than two ways: one is to report to the imperial court and execute me, the female son-in-law who is a criminal who deceives the emperor; Two——" She suddenly approached, "—let Feng Shaomin disappear from the world, force me to stay by your side, and become your confinement."
She got too close, and the warm breath on the pinna immediately disturbed Dongfang Sheng's thoughts.He moved away as if he had been scalded, and after a while he said viciously: "No—I can still kill you, I can kill you right now!" He went straight to touch the long knife beside him, but grabbed It was only then that I remembered that I had taken off the long knife and thrown it aside in order to make it easier to get into the tunnel.
Feng Suzhen sensed his embarrassment, and went over to pick up the long knife in three steps and two steps, and handed it to Dongfang Sheng: "Yes, you can kill me-I, Feng Suzhen, am alone, alone, with no wealth inside and no wealth outside." Authority, life is like dust. But you have many fans, high position and authority. I have escaped thousands of miles away, but I have traveled thousands of miles, just relying on the word "believe". I believe in you, I believe in you For my giri, I believe there is a fire burning in your chest."
Dongfang Sheng lowered the hilt of the knife. He thought of something, and became suspicious again, "You keep saying that I am not worthy of you, but you are willing to commit yourself to me for the little prince. What do you think? He deserves it." Is it your allegiance? Or…”
Feng Suzhen frowned and said, "Eliminate traitors and help the country, this is what I have been thinking about. You don't need to think about it."
Dongfang Sheng sneered: "I don't know,
