Chapter 177: Leave with a cold heart
Chu Xingyue didn't know how Yuan Feng guessed, at this moment her heart was only full of questions and unconcealable grief and sadness.
As long as she thought that she had shared the bed with Zhao Ling for so long, she thought that she had been sincere with each other for a long time, but she didn't expect that all this was her wishful thinking, and she felt a pain in her heart, as if she couldn't take a breath for a long time.
Yes, she was too naΓ―ve, she should have thought that with the inexplicable relationship between this body and Zhao Xuan before, how could he forget the past and fully accept her overnight?
The funny thing is that she is still thinking about him everywhere so far, and she will be reluctant to leave him.
He is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the phoenix, what kind of woman do you want, I am afraid that in his heart, she does not have multiple statuses, and the woman who is really put in his heart is only Luo Yao.
Yuan Feng looked at Chu Xingyue, who was about to cry, angry and distressed in his heart, and grabbed her soft little hand urgently in the palm of his hand, at this moment, if the situation did not allow it, he was afraid that he would really rush to Zhao Ling, grab his collar and question him well.
What did the young master do that made him uneasy and suspicious, and he would actually send someone to spy on her from behind?
"Young Master, what have you exposed that makes King Ling suspicious?"
Chu Xingyue raised her tearful eyes and looked at Yuan Feng quietly, hesitated for a moment, but still told him what she thought, "I think that he didn't really believe in me from the beginning, and the lingering affection with me was used to confuse me; I know him very well, he has always been honest with people who care about him, a Luo Yao back then, he could remember him for five years, and he can still remember it so distressed that he vomits blood; As for me, because I never took it to heart, I didn't feel any pain, and I could even send my own subordinates to spy on me, guarding me like a thief. β
"It's ridiculous that I was confused by the look he showed, if it wasn't for the person who accidentally discovered him today, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark by him in the end, naively thinking that the person I like also likes myself."
"Young Master ......"
Yuan Feng couldn't bear to listen to Chu Xingyue say such words, and for a while, his heart felt sour.
After experiencing the sadness of betrayal, Chu Xingyue took a few deep breaths to stabilize her chaotic emotions, and then looked at Yuan Feng seriously and said, "I vaguely heard you talking about horse thieves just now, what happened outside the town?" β
Seeing that Chu Xingyue took the initiative to divert the topic, Yuan Feng naturally did not take the initiative to mention these things that made her sad, but told her what she had just said again.
"Young master, the intention of the person who came is obvious, it is almost certain that he is coming for our group, the subordinates mean that the young master has no fists and feet, and it is very likely that he will be attacked if he stays here, and his subordinates want to take the young master out of here first, as for King Ling, it all depends on the meaning of the young master."
Chu Xingyue understood the intention of Yuan Feng's words, she was the future patriarch of the Tianding clan, and he naturally wanted to protect her life; And Zhao Ling is her husband, and it is up to her whether she wants to protect her or not.
Perhaps, in the heart of the ancestor Yuan Feng, he thought about blessing Zhao Ling together, but after experiencing what happened just now, he must have been very dissatisfied with Zhao Ling in Yuan Feng's heart; That's when she said something to let her call the shots, and he wasn't involved.
After Chu Xingyue heard Yuan Feng say this, she immediately closed her eyes again and opened the Heavenly Eye.
This time, she saw the outside of the town directly through the eye of the sky, and sure enough, as Yuan Feng said, thirty miles outside the town, there was indeed a group of people gathered there; Almost all of these people were armed with sharp swords, straddling horses, and looking at the sturdy and young physique, they all looked like they were practitioners; If such a group of people and the people brought by Zhao Ling in the inn face each other, a fight is absolutely inevitable.
What really surprised Chu Xingyue was that she found that on the back of each horse, there was a huge kettle, and the kettle was not filled with a drop of water at all, but filled with tung oil.
What is tung oil used for, but anyone with a little common sense knows that these people not only want to kill people, but also want to set fires?
Chu Xingyue immediately opened her eyes in shock by the thought in her heart, her clear eyes were full of panic and struggle, and at the same time she looked at Yuan Feng and told him the clues she had found.
When Yuan Feng heard that these people actually brought tung oil, he was also a little stunned on the spot, "I didn't expect these people to be so ruthless and vicious, and they refused to leave even a little life." β
"I know that Zhao Ling brought out a lot of Jingwei in the palace when he left Beijing, but even if Jingwei has good martial arts, there will be pressure to confront hundreds of murderers, and if someone sets fire to it at this time, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and put our group at a worse disadvantage."
"What does the young master mean is that he wants to tell King Ling in advance so that he can take precautions as soon as possible?"
Chu Xingyue lowered her head, her two hands were gently clasped together, and her voice also lowered, "I treat him with sincerity, although he treats me a little unkindly, but in the face of life, I don't want him to have an accident; And the Jingwei in the house are also all fresh lives, if they know early that they can take precautions early so that some people will not be killed in vain, I am willing to tell them this clue. β
Hearing Chu Xingyue say this, a faint smile appeared on Yuan Feng's face.
He really guessed correctly, although the young master is a resolute and jealous character, but deep down he is also a soft-hearted woman, which is very similar to their clansmen.
"Since the young master wants to inform, then tell it."
Chu Xingyue glanced at Yuan Feng in surprise, she thought that with Yuan Feng's character, she would not agree to her doing this, but she didn't expect him to agree so easily.
Yuan Feng naturally saw Chu Xingyue's surprise, chuckled, and said, "The subordinates said that everything will be listened to by the young master, since the young master has made such an arrangement, the subordinates will naturally comply; It's just that we learned this news by our own talent, and so far King Ling's people don't know it, if we tell him this news, if he asks us where we got it, then how should we answer. β
Yuan Feng glanced at Chu Xingyue remindedly, "Young Master, the identity of our Tianding clan must not be exposed, you are not old and don't know, back then, the people of the royal family of the four kingdoms were so cruel to our people, eating meat, drinking blood, and some even skinned, in the eyes of these royal people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and love glory and pleasure, we are not the same existence as them, but the food they vainly try to live long, and it is also the elixir for them to fear life and death." β
Chu Xingyue knew that Yuan Feng's words were not exaggerated at all, after all, after seeing Zhuo Lang, she also knew how miserable the fate of the Tianding clan was back then.
To this day, she can recall the strong smell of blood from the elixir that Zhuo Lang fed her, which was made from human flesh and blood.
"I know that with Zhao Ling's character, even if I tell him this clue in person, she will suspect the source of our clue, in order to hide our identity, and in order to make him believe without hesitation, we must think of a way that can make him accept."
Chu Xingyue stood up from the bamboo bench, and after pacing in place for a few steps, she suddenly turned her head to Yuan Feng and said, "Zhao Ling is very cautious, many Jingwei in his mansion are lurking around the town, why don't we find a way to deliberately leak this clue to his Jingwei, and let him Jingwei tell him the news outside the town." β
Yuan Feng also felt that this method was very good, and immediately responded, "Okay, this matter can be handed over to his subordinates." β
After saying this, Yuan Feng looked at Chu Xingyue worriedly, he would not forget her pitiful appearance that was about to cry just now, he had almost no experience in contact with women, and he didn't know how to comfort her.
King Ling did go too far in this matter, the young master treated him sincerely, and even now he is still thinking about his life; But what about him? Suspicion, distrust, sending people to monitor and track, actually treated the young master with such complicated feelings, and now that he thinks about it, he feels unworthy for the young master.
Chu Xingyue naturally saw the worry and shallow resentment on Yuan Feng's face, and thought that she would stay by Zhao Ling's side for a few more days, but for now, there was no need for her to do those superfluous things.
Chu Xingyue hesitated for a moment, and when she spoke again, she had already made a plan, and said to Yuan Feng, "Tonight, let's take advantage of the chaos to leave here, and I will go back to the Tianding clan with you to meet the clansmen." β
Yuan Feng felt as if he was having auditory hallucinations, and looked at Chu Xingyue who suddenly made this decision with a shocked face.
You must know that just now, she showed her reluctance to be here, but she didn't expect that in just a moment, she had already made plans to leave, and she was going to leave tonight.
"Young master, are you sure? You know, if we leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back. β
Yuan Feng was not stopping her, but reminding her; With this departure, from now on, she will no longer be Princess Ling, but the new patriarch of the Tianding clan; Husband and wife are no longer destined to get together, and the love that they once had will disappear with the past tonight.
Chu Xingyue also felt that her heart was like a knife, but she had always had clear grievances, and she was never allowed to rub sand in her eyes.
used to be reluctant to fall in love with Zhao Ling, because she felt that he treated her sincerely, and she was reluctant to give her this affection; But now, now that they know the whole truth and understand the hypocrisy between them, what reason is there to stay here?
Maybe in Zhao Ling's heart, he was already a little tired of dealing with her, since this was the case, she relieved him, and he also let her go.
Chu Xingyue sighed, raised her head to look at the blue sky above her head, stretched out her fingers, as if eager to grab the white clouds floating in the sky, her voice was slow, and said: "The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for birds to fly, if I have no fate with him from the beginning, why bother twisting together; When he left me, he was able to find Princess Ling, who was truly suitable for him, and when I left him, I was able to pursue the freedom and plain life I really wanted; We can't give each other what we want, in this case, it is better to let go in a chic way, and after a hundred years, when I think about it again, it is just a faint smile line at the corner of my mouth. β
