Chapter 47: Step by step
It was already three days later that Yan Qing came back from Fo'an Temple.
Return to Zhenxihou Mansion, settled the Madam Qi, and told Qingyi to stay with the Madam, and never let Madam Qi look for a short sight.
Qingyi, who has always been fond of Yan Qing, has not been tangled with Yan Qing for the first time. She nodded honestly and stared at Madam Qi without blinking, as if she had just blinked her eyes and Madam Qi would disappear from her eyes out of nowhere.
Looking at Qingyi's serious appearance, Yan Qing felt uncomfortable.
She knew that the little girl was blaming herself and did not follow what she said before and followed Yan Qin and the others.
But Yan Qing knew in his heart that since Wen Zhemao had made up his mind to start, he must have made complete preparations. Even if Qingyi followed, it would only allow Wen Zhemao to trade with him.
On that day, she was lucky.
Now it seems that I have to be glad that I kept Qingyi.
It's just Mo Zhu...
Yan Qing's eyes were dim and he raised his hand to rub Qingyi's little face: "I don't blame you, it's not your fault."
Qingyi stared at Yan Qing with clear eyes, and a faint green color hidden in her deep brown pupils, like a wolf.
She bit her lip without saying anything, but made Yan Qing even more worried.
"Listen, this is not your fault, and you don't have the ability to seek revenge."
Yan Qing held Qingyi's little face, pressed her forehead against her, and looked deep in her eyes, "You don't have to blame yourself, let alone be angry. Cause and effect are the only ones, and impulse will only make things that are bad, even worse. I don't want to save my mother yet, and I'll take you with me. Do you understand?"
Qingyi gritted her teeth.
"Do you understand?"
Yan Qing asked anxiously.
Qingyi stared at Yan Qing's eyes, and the corners of her mouth kept twitching, like an angry wolfhound, but she tried hard to restrain the things engraved with instincts.
Yan Qing always held her face and smoothed the corners of her trembling lips with his thumbs to both sides: "If you want to laugh, I like to see Xiao Qingyi smile the most."
Qingyi tried hard to smile, but the faint light in her eyes could not be suppressed.
The little girl felt depressed, so she plunged into Yan Qing's arms, hugged Yan Qing tightly for a moment, and then said in a muffled voice: "I, guard the nanny."
Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and patted her back: "Okay."
After comforting Qingyi and returning to Shanhaiju, Yan Qing stood in front of the boudoir door, turned to look at Si Jizhe who followed him and said, "Did you even have to follow me when I sleep?"
When Yan Qing entered the mansion, he asked someone to prepare a yard for Si Yan, but this person had to follow him. As she thought about it, she asked someone to clean up Shan Haiju's guest room. But now she went back to her room, and this person was planning to follow him! This was a bit too much!
Yan Qing's original intention was to remind Si Jizhe not to do too much, but he didn't expect Si Jizhe to close his palms, cross his fingers, roll his thumbs a few times, and smiled and said, "Someone, I do have this intention."
Yan Qing's eyes were glaring out: "Shameless!"
Seeing Yan Qing's angry look, Si Xi smiled calmly, saying it was just right: "Although I led the troops to fight, I also knew that in addition to guarding the servants, aristocratic families like the Yan family would also raise some secret guards to find out the news. Although I don't know why the secret guards of the Yan family did not show up when we took Mrs. Hou away that day, I would not believe it if I judged that the Yan family did not raise secret guards."
"The art of war emphasizes knowing oneself and being an enemy, so for the use of military personnel, the status of the secret agent is no less than that of a good general. The secret agent who belongs to the private sector and takes into account the purpose of escorts is called a secret guard. Compared with the secret agent who may not have no skills, the agile secret guard may even be able to come and go without a trace."
Speaking of this, Si Jizhan paused for a moment and looked at Yan Qing's expression carefully, but Yan Qing had a calm face, and his eyes were not redundant, let alone the unnecessary expression of emotions.
This disappointed Si Ji, but he also felt that it was normal. If Yan Qing was such a person who could be motivated by others, she would not be able to stand the filthy words of the rough and savage people in the Western Rong, and could not stand the prejudiced eyes of the world, and it would be even more impossible for people at home and abroad to dare to underestimate her.
It is not unreasonable that Yan Qing can become the vanguard general of the Erjun garrison battalion.
But Yan Qing's emotions seemed too natural and restrained. Whether it was anger, guilt, or self-blame... they were naturally revealed on her face, but there was another obvious standard, which made people understand at a glance that she was restraining and enduring.
This shouldn't be the emotional self-control that a 14 or 15-year-old girl can have.
Even if she has experienced the tempering of life and death and has seen the warmth and coldness of human nature, she should not have such a deep craftsmanship.
People say that young people are full of energy. Even if they are decadent and unsuccessful, they should have resentment, fighting spirit, and unwillingness to give up. They are smart.
But in Yan Qing, he could not see any agile color. She was more like an old man who had been polished by the secular world for decades, with a craftsmanship that was too much or too little.
The more you observe, the more Si Ji can feel a sense of incongruity from Yan Qing.
He did not live long, but he had seen many people.
He has not seen a young and mature person before. There is a sense of mismatch between the mind and the age, but there is no one like Yan Qing, who feels completely incompatible.
The moment of Sifu made Siying's judgment of Yan Qing more cautiously, and even frowned slightly without moving.
But he quickly covered it up and smiled slightly: "This secret guard is so powerful. If you can't stare at the general in the room, how can you know that the general will not let someone secretly send messages to Duan Wang? The existence of a secret spy is ambushed in the enemy camp. The more important the position is, the more useful it can be. The pioneer is the intelligence officer of the entire army. If it brings wrong information or lies about military information, it will be a major harm!"
"I have to be careful!"
"What do you want?"
Yan Qing obviously didn't expect this man to be so shameless. He was so angry that his alveolar was about to be worn out. "Although he doesn't pay much attention to men and women's defenses today, there is a difference between men and women. Besides, you and I are unmarried and women are not married. If you let you enter my boudoir, what kind of morality is it?!"
When Yan Qing talked about courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame, Si Ji didn't care: "The general was fighting outside the army, and there were both men and women in the camp. If he met an army outside, the sky was the cover and the ground was the bed, and it was also a man and a woman. The general did not avoid it. Although the situation is different now, you and I are also comrades in the same trench, and it seems that there is no difference?"
"Nonsense!"
Yan Qing almost laughed in anger, "This is him...this is just two different things!"
Seeing Yan Qing's swear words to his mouth, Si Xi swallowed them back, which was obvious that he was so angry that he could not even suppress his emotions that had been restrained.
This made him feel a little inexplicable sense of accomplishment for a moment.
Seeing Yan Qing's face being angry, perhaps with a little bit of shame and anger on her girlish, her values were broken. In short, her emotions were out of control at this moment, Si Xi felt that her sense of incongruity was not as serious as before.
Not sure what his mind was, Si Ji said half-jokingly: "If the general really thinks that such behavior will damage your reputation, then it's better, the general marrying me, what if?"
