Chapter 242: Becoming Dependent on Each Other
In the room, Chu Xingyue was carefully persuading the most difficult knot in Zhao Ling's heart in her own way.
Outside the door, Yuan Feng stood in the shade of a blooming tree in front of the door with his hands behind his back, raised his head, and looked at the emerald green leaves casting dappled light and shadow overhead.
Wuchen looked at Yuan Feng like this, hesitated for a moment, and walked up, "I didn't expect that you would confess your identity to King Ling so happily, as well as about Concubine Yang, I thought you would never want to mention it again." ”
Hearing Wuchen's words, Yuan Feng looked back at him, "You have spoken to this extent in front of everyone, if I conceal it again, won't it seem like I have done something unspeakable?" Whether it is the young master of my family or King Ling, they are all extremely smart people, in the face of such people, if you don't speak clearly, they will misunderstand; Isn't it? ”
"That's the truth, it's just that the incident back then was also ...... to you"
As he spoke, Wuchen quietly glanced at Yuan Feng and saw that his expression was the same, so he continued: "I know that the plague in the palace back then should have been caused by you. ”
"Yo! I hid this from everyone, even the young master didn't know, how did you know about it, old boy? ”
Wuchen smiled bitterly and said, "Although Rui'er deceived you first, I also did something to prevent you from leaving, although you were very angry at the time, but I also know that you are not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous person; In the end, Rui'er died in order to protect the secrets of the Tianding family; How could someone like you not do something for her? In addition to the Imperial Forest Army, many of the concubines were bitten by giant rats, or frightened crazy, or infected with the epidemic and died; I've never thought of it to you before; It wasn't until we met again this time, when you told me that you had silently guarded King Ling in the palace for several years, that I checked it out a little carefully; found that almost all of the dead or crazy concubines bullied Rui'er when she was alive. You are angry for Rui'er, so you don't hesitate to expose your identity and make a big fuss in the palace of Dawei, right? ”
Now that he has been noticed, Yuan Feng does not plan to hide it anymore, but looks at Wuchen frankly, and said: "The people of my Tianding clan have never liked to owe favors to others, Concubine Yang guarded the secrets of my clan, even if I owe her, I will help her take revenge after her death, and it can be regarded as repaying this favor." It's a pity that it is a great pity to let the real culprit escape. ”
Wuchen admired Yuan Feng's chic energy, and when he heard him say this, his eyes looked at the closed door.
"That's not necessarily, I always feel that Jiang's good days are probably coming to an end."
Yuan Feng was not stupid, and when he saw Wuchen's meaningful eyes, he also looked towards the closed door; It's just that compared to the knowing smile on Wuchen's face, he is worried.
Is it really the right decision to let the young master return to King Ling's side?
This question, after reuniting with Zhao Ling, he questioned himself in his heart more than once, but he couldn't find the answer for a long time.
After all, Wuchen has been an old friend of Yuan Feng for several years, just looking at Yuan Feng's slightly frowning eyebrows, he knows what he is thinking in his heart.
"Don't worry, King Ling is not the kind of person who is unkind, he has always been honest and sincere with Princess Ling."
"I know, I'm just worried about whether he can protect her. After all, King Ling's identity is also unusual, leaving the young master by his side, the young master's true identity is extremely easy to expose; What would he do if that day did? ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Feng took a deep breath, and his tone was worried: "You and I both know that King Ling is determined to be in the world, if one day he is asked to choose between the world and the young master's life, what will he do?" You must know how important the young master is to my clan, if she has any trouble in the Great Wei, even if my Tianding clan is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not like disputes, it will come back and toss the Great Wei Dynasty to the bottom. Trust me, we definitely have what it takes. ”
Looking at Yuan Feng's provocative action with slightly raised eyebrows, Wuchen knew that he was not lying when he said this.
After a hundred years of silence, the Tianding clan is no longer the pure good clan that stayed out of the matter and was humble in the past.
They have suffered the most tragic massacre, and they have been adrift for a hundred years, and even the most virtuous and indisputable people will quietly change their hearts after so many changes.
Although the current Tianding clan is still escaping from the world on the surface, Wuchen knows very well that the Tianding clan that has changed is like a beast chained by iron chains; But when the chains are broken, the mildest of men will turn into the most ferocious beasts, stretching out their claws and pounced on those who dare to show their malice to them.
The talent of the Tianding clan is absolutely amazing, if the people of this clan are really angry and angry, not to mention the Great Wei, even the rest of the Three Kingdoms Imperial Clans are afraid that they will suffer.
Therefore, in the face of Yuan Feng's provocation, Wuchen did not dare to ignore it easily, but tried to say with a calm attitude, "You have also seen with your own eyes that the prince has a deep affection for the princess, before anything happens, why don't we believe them?" ”
Believe?
Hearing these two words, Yuan Feng almost laughed, back then, they were too easy to trust people, so they ended up being slaughtered; Is there anyone telling him to trust others?
In this world, the last thing he Yuan Feng can do is to trust others easily.
Anyway, he had already thought about it, even if the young master had a deep affection for King Ling, he would not relax his vigilance, once he found out that King Ling's heart was abnormal, he would definitely take the young master away without hesitation.
Wuchen looked at Yuan Feng, who was silent, and couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment for a while; However, no matter what he thinks, it is good that the princess is back now.
Others may not know that those of them who were with King Ling could see clearly that the departure of the princess during this period of time was too big a blow to King Ling.
Now that the beautiful woman has returned and can continue the frontier, he is really happy and happy for King Ling.
Thinking of this, Wuchen let out a long breath, and raised his head to look at the dappled light on the leaves after learning from Yuan Feng's appearance, and the faint smile on his face had not appeared for several years.
……
After all, Chu Xingyue had said these words to Zhao Ling for a long time, and only after she saw that Zhao Ling's eyebrows had gradually softened, she felt endless exhaustion coming towards her; It's as if my eyes can't stick together forever, and I can't open them no matter how hard I try to open them.
Zhao Ling looked at the little woman in his arms who couldn't sleep anymore, and the doting smile returned to his face again.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Chu Xingyue's beautiful eyebrows, his voice was gentle and quiet, and said, "Sleep, this king is here to accompany you." ”
Chu Xingyue heard what Zhao Ling said in a daze, but she was still a little uneasy, she pulled his shirt like attachment, leaned into his arms, and said in a vague voice.
"Zhao Ling, don't be sad, I will help you avenge Concubine Yang's hatred; Don't feel like you're alone anymore, I'll be with you in the future. Although Father is an old bastard, this old bastard seems to have secrets and hardships, we have to give him a chance to explain, you must not fall for Jiang's fool, do you know? ”
Looking at Chu Xingyue, who couldn't even open his eyes and didn't forget to tell himself over and over again, the smile on Zhao Ling's face was helpless and moved.
He bowed his head and kissed her lightly on the eye, and whispered, "Okay, this king listens to you; Well, go to sleep. ”
"Well, you accompany me!"
"Okay, this king will accompany you, and I will accompany you for the rest of my life."
Hearing the answer she wanted to hear with peace of mind, Chu Xingyue found a comfortable position in Zhao Ling's arms and fell asleep deeply.
No matter whether it is spring outside or starry sky, she is meek and well-behaved nestled in Zhao Ling's arms, as if this position is the deepest attachment and destination in her life.
Chu Xingyue really slept long and deep enough this night, and there was no sign of waking up until the evening of the same day.
Because Zhao Ling came to Jeju City to shoulder the task of disaster relief, he naturally didn't have much time to accompany her, and being able to be by her side for more than half a day was already the longest time he had won for himself.
Therefore, looking at Chu Xingyue, who had not woken up for a long time, Zhao Ling was full of guilt and dropped another kiss on her forehead, "Yue'er, this king will come back soon after going out to do something, you are obediently asleep, waiting for this king to know?" ”
Chu Xingyue, who knew that he was sleeping, couldn't hear the words he said, but Zhao Ling still finished emotionally; Then, he reluctantly left the bed, folded the quilt for Chu Xingyue, and walked out of the room with light steps.
Outside the room, Yunxiao had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw the prince coming out, he hurriedly walked up: "Lord Wang, I found a suspicious place in the courtyard of the Li Mansion. ”
Zhao Ling looked at the sky, "What place?" ”
Yunxiao led the way in front, one-sided, "There is a bamboo forest in the backyard of the Li Mansion, and the bamboo forest does not seem to be very large at first glance, but after the subordinates and others walked in, it was like walking into a maze, and they almost couldn't get around. ”
"Bamboo forest?"
Maybe it was a change of heart, Zhao Ling immediately blurted out three words, "Zhiguilin?" ”
Yunxiao laughed and said, "Lord Wang, why did you forget, we are in Jeju City now, and then Zhigui Lin is far away in Longquan Temple in the capital, how can he appear here." ”
Zhao Ling didn't think it was so simple, he stood still, shook his fingers lightly, and said with a serious expression: "No, this king means that the bamboo forest does not give you the feeling of knowing the forest?" ”
Lin Yunxiao, the Zhigui of Longquan Temple, has also been taught, not to mention, the prince does not remind him, and he really reacts when he is reminded.
Immediately looked back at Zhao Ling: "Lord Wang, the feeling of this forest is indeed a bit like Zhigui Forest; The subordinates will go and invite the dustless master. ”
As he spoke, Yunxiao pulled his legs and walked towards the front yard, looking like Zhao Ling was a little more anxious.
