Chapter 168: The Clouds and the Tide
Qingfeng who was worried about Li Qing was in Dingzhou City at this time, she had just finished handling official business and walked out of the room tiredly, through the slightly dark long corridor of the Statistics and Survey Department, and walked into the garden.
Rubbing some stiff noodles, blown by the wind, smelling the fragrance of flowers in the garden, the breeze was a little numb and the brain was a little clearer, as the network of the Statistical Survey Department in the whole empire gradually spread, every time the information collected more and more, although the person in charge of various places has sorted it out, but what is sent here is still a mountain, through the screening of the Planning and Analysis Bureau, and then sent to Qingfeng's desk, there are still a lot.
Today's intelligence from the capital made Qingfeng pay a lot of attention, Xiao Yuanshan officially replaced Qu Yongjie as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, but Qu Yongjie was transferred to the three southern states to replace Wei Yuanhou to preside over the counterinsurgency work, which made Qingfeng very worried, I really don't know what the Emperor of the Apocalypse was thinking about, while wanting to control the wealthy family, on the other hand, he replaced Qu Yongjie, who was born in a poor family, with Xiao Yuanshan, although Qu Yongjie lost in the hands of his own general, it does not mean that he is incapable, no matter who stood in the position of the commander of the Royal Forest Army at that time, he was a loser, who can compare to the talent of his own general! Speaking of Li Qing, a rare smile appeared on Qingfeng's face, which made the intelligence officers of the Statistical Survey Department who hurriedly passed by her very strange, here, it was difficult for everyone to see Qingfeng showing a smiling face.
It seems that the Director is in a good mood today.
Xiao Yuanshan became the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, which was equivalent to controlling the palace and controlling the Beijing Luoyang, compared with the tens of thousands of Imperial Forest Army, no matter how strong the combat power of the three thousand palace guards was, it was almost negligible. What does the Xiao family think? The breeze shuddered, Emperor of the Apocalypse, you ask for more blessings! Qingfeng sneered in his heart.
Probably because the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw that the soldiers of the Dingzhou Army were so strong, and Xiao Yuanshan had served as the commander of Dingzhou for a long time, right? Qingfeng thought in his heart, but Tianqi didn't know that the current Dingzhou soldiers were worlds different from before, if the previous Dingzhou soldiers were as strong as they are now, why did they end up like this? Thinking of the previous unbearable, Qingfeng twitched slightly, his face became iron blue again, his chest rose and fell, and a wave of anger involuntarily radiated, and the people around her immediately noticed it keenly, and immediately quickened his pace and avoided her from a distance. It's really a bit of a ghostly taste.
Qingfeng knows that the entire Statistical Survey Department is afraid of himself like a tiger, and the people who are qualified to know his true identity in Dingzhou are also respectful of him, and he, in the past two years, has really changed a lot, from the original innocent girl to the current iron-blooded intelligence chief, whether it is his own experience or the profession he is engaged in now, it is enough to make a huge change in himself.
I want to be strong! For the general, for himself, for his sister Yunrong (Ji Yue), he must be strong, and he must be strong, a series of blows have made this once fragile woman grow up, the family in the capital, the Li family, and the inside of Dingzhou, there are people everywhere who regard themselves as cowards, for what, isn't it just for the sake of the woman who is a general? Isn't it because the general is very fond of himself? Isn't it because he has lost his innocence and lost his former identity? But was that my fault? The breeze always wet the placket in tears in the middle of the night, tossing and turning.
I want to be strong, and I want these people to see who Qingfeng is! Now, except for the general, except for the sister, everyone can be their enemy.
Zhong Jing walked into the courtyard, saw Qingfeng's somewhat distorted face, couldn't help but be startled, walked quickly to Qingfeng, and called out in a low voice, "Miss! ”
Qingfeng woke up, but he was a little demonic just now.
"Zhong Jing, are you back, did Ji Yue take it?" The breeze took a deep breath and regained its composure.
"Miss, Miss Ji Yue has been picked up, and I have placed her in place." Zhong Jing said.
"Well, let's go, I'll go see my little sister, I've been busy all this time, I haven't seen her for a long time!" Qingfeng Channel.
The two of them walked one after the other towards the backyard of the Statistical Survey Division, where Qingfeng lived.
One foot just stepped into the moon gate, but the breeze shrank back, deep in his heart as if he had been pricked by a needle, in the yard, Ji Yue stood alone, compared with his own time ago to see her, and a little thinner, a plain white dress made it look thinner, thin arms around the chest, both shoulders shrunk, like a frightened rabbit.
Qingfeng knows that her sister has complaints about herself, deep down in her heart, she will not hate herself, but she has never regretted it, from the time she was in Chongxian, her sister planted a love for the general, and she has been admonishing her since then, but then the development of things is that she did not expect it, it was she who first threw herself into the arms of the general, yes, she can say that this is because the general likes herself, and she is slowly in love with the general, and now she is more willing to dedicate everything for the general, whether it is reputation or body, but these, Can I say it to my sister, can she understand herself? If she knew her own difficulties and her own suffering, would she still be so affectionate to the general and couldn't extricate herself?
Qingfeng felt that she wanted to have a deep conversation with her sister.
"Zhong Jing, do you think I'm hateful?" Qingfeng asked suddenly.
Zhong Jing opened her mouth wide and looked at Qingfeng, not knowing why the young lady suddenly asked such a thing.
"Miss, what are you talking about, how can you be hateful?"
"Do you think I'm scary?" Qingfeng then asked.
Zhong Jing pondered for a moment this time and said, "Miss, for me, Miss is like a relative, and it is not terrible, but in the eyes of some people outside, Miss is probably a little scary." ”
Qingfeng smiled bitterly, Zhong Jing said the truth, "Then do you think I will harm the general?" Will I be detrimental to Dingzhou? ”
Zhong Jing was really shocked by Qingfeng this time, looked at Qingfeng incredulously, and said, "Miss, what did you listen to today, is there a magic barrier?" How can you talk nonsense, how can you be bad for the general, bad for Dingzhou? Since I followed you, all I have seen is that you are doing your best, working hard for Dingzhou, and sharing worries for Dingzhou day and night. ”
"Yes, I do my best, and I want to take out my heart and show some people, but why are some people so jealous of me and afraid of me? It's as if I'm a magic star who will only bring disaster to the general! "The breeze is quiet.
Zhong Jing understood this time, as Qingfeng's personal guard, especially Qingfeng's position was very special, and many things were clearer than ordinary Dingzhou high-ranking officials, and she understood that Qingfeng was talking about Shang Haibo and others.
"Mr. Shang, he, he!" Zhong Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally felt that this person was not something he could evaluate, and after hesitating for a while, Zhong Jing said: "Miss, maybe you will give in and no longer be the director, but simply as the handsome's internal dependent, maybe Mr. Shang will not be so suspicious of you." Besides, the general loves you so much, and he will not be willing to let you work so hard in this position. ”
Qingfeng glanced at Zhong Jing, and suddenly smiled: "Zhong Jing, you are so simple, let me tell you, it is precisely because the general loves me so much that Shang Haibo and they will be so jealous of me, if I give up my current power, then my fate will definitely be miserable." No, I have to be stronger to protect myself, my sister, Zhong Jing, and you. ”
Zhong Jing couldn't understand all this, her previous life was so simple, she didn't agree with each other, she just drew her knife to each other, but now there are some twists and turns here, which makes her head hurt a little.
"Miss, are you thinking too much, as long as the general loves you and spoils you, what does Mr. Shang dare to do to you?"
Qingfeng shook his head, "Zhong Jing, you don't understand, you don't understand, flowers are not red, and people are good!" My parents and family still abandoned me like a cover, not to mention, let alone the general? The general has the world in his heart, how can he be restrained by a small number of prefectures, when there is a time, he has to choose between Shang Haibo and other subordinates and me, who do you say he will choose? ”
Zhong Jing was speechless.
"Even if he spoils me, loves me, and loves me, when that day comes, he may hesitate, or he may be reluctant, but he will never choose me." The breeze smiled sadly.
"So, only strength, only power can protect us. Only when that day does everyone find out that if they dare to touch me, the world will be in chaos, and the general's career will be endangered, and their own future will be endangered, will we be truly safe. ”
"But, then, miss, don't you want to fight with them for the rest of your life?" Zhong Jing said.
"Yes, for a lifetime, for a lifetime, this is my fate, as a woman who longs for peace, this fate is the most cruel, therefore, I will never allow my only relative to be involved, I will never let Ji Yue enter this circle again, even if she hates me!" The breeze cuts through the tunnel.
"Zhong Jing, my real name is Lin Yunxi, and my sister's name is Lin Yunrong, not Qingfeng Jiyue!" Qingfeng said word by word: "One day, I will change my name back openly, walk to the door of the house that abandoned me, and ask aloud why, is their reputation more important than the surnames of the two of us?" ”
Zhong Jing looked at the breeze with a flushed face, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, this high-ranking woman, a woman who is extremely beautiful in the eyes of others, how much pain is pressed in her heart, and this has to be borne silently by herself, even if she is the only relative now, I am afraid that she will not understand her.
"I will fight until I die!" Qingfeng left a word, left Zhong Jing outside the garden, and walked briskly towards his sister in the garden.
