After a long time, he gently rolled out of bed, and walked to the middle of the two cribs with the moonlight shining in through the window. The children were all awake, with their eyes open, looking confusedly at the strange world in front of them.
He stretched out two fingers to them from the left and the right, and the two dolls subconsciously held them tightly in their hands. He smiled warmly and looked at them dreamily until his vision became blurry.
The sound of the bee whistle in the desert came faintly, and he knew that his carnival was over. When he returned to the bed again, his lover slept so peacefully, with the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was smiling. Did he dream of him?
He leaned down, held his breath, and planted a trembling kiss on the corner of her mouth. After today's farewell, life will be like coming back, and death will be like longing for each other.
I gently opened the door and stepped into the desolate moonlight. As soon as I took a step, the cry of the child behind me tore through the quiet sky.
The pitiful cries of the children could not keep their father away. And the mother who was smiling and "dreaming" by the bedside had already wet the entire skirt of her clothes with silent tears.
After a while, she stood up and moved to the crib with difficulty, stood where Zhao Changyuan had been standing just now, picked up the child, and comforted her softly with the most tender motherly love in her life: "The baby doesn't cry... Dad is more miserable than us."
…”
"I have to say, your trick to lure a tiger away from the mountain is really powerful. The boy named Pan has been led by us all day today. We can't do anything about it. Don't look at that Fang Zhiwen who is so cowardly and pretending to be you.
It’s quite similar!”
Gong Yiyi was right. At this moment, Zhao Changyuan was basically in a state of soul separation.
Even though Lin Moyan, the evil young master's younger brother in the carriage, talked all the way, he didn't react at all.
After a period of terrible silence, Xiao Juan comforted him and said, "Brother Gong, we will definitely come back. Don't be too sad."
His eyes were blank and confused as he stared ahead, his whole body like a soulless body. "A year ago, I fought with a pack of wolves on Longmen Mountain. I still remember the wolf's claws and fangs cutting into my flesh and tearing me apart.
My body feels the same as it does now."
Everyone was shocked by what he said in his bloody memoirs, and they couldn't say anything for a long time. In the end, Master Lin Fan, who was still the bad boy, couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "I said at the beginning that Pan Zhuqing was not innocent, and I didn't accept him as my disciple.
I only taught his younger brother secretly. I didn’t expect that he would be so vicious when he grew up and cause you a lot of trouble."
Zhao Changyuan smiled bitterly and leaned back: "He is very smart, the smartest opponent I have ever encountered. But he also made a big mistake. No matter what his ultimate goal is, this mistake will cause him to lose everything."
All lose."
"What's the mistake?" Lin Moyan asked curiously.
Zhao Changyuan did not answer him, but just changed the topic: "Has Fang Zhiwen settled properly?"
Lin Moyan smiled proudly and said: "Don't worry, you stuffed him in before you came out. It's very safe."
"That's good, no matter what, you can't hurt innocent people." This is one of the reasons why Zhao Changyuan did not want to expose himself in the Zhao Mansion as mentioned above. If today's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain is discovered by Pan Zhuqing, then he will definitely
Will he vent his anger on Fang Zhiwen? How can ordinary people with no power and power resist Pan Zhuqing's plot?
Lin Fan looked thoughtfully at the young man across from him who was full of worries but still worried about the safety of others, and finally said: "This is why I like your boy and not the boy named Pan."
Zhao Changyuan smiled ashamedly and said calmly: "He actually has merits." At least he is an honest official and is good to his family. "However, to me, he still deserves to die."
The carriage drove for another distance in the darkness, and Lin Fan suddenly remembered something that made him curious: "Speaking of which, how did you expect that he would come to your house today?"
"The reasons are a bit complicated, and you won't understand." Zhao Changyuan didn't want to associate Pan Zhuqing's name with his wife, and he couldn't talk about it. "But there is a reason, and you will understand it as soon as I tell you."
Lin Fan urged with high spirits: "Tell me and listen."
"Sit back and wait." He guessed accurately. Pan Zhuqing risked the humiliation of being stabbed in the spine and ran to Zhao's house. Although it was for Gong Yueyue, he also wanted to cut off Qingsi with a sword. But there was another important purpose.
I really want to see if Zhao Changyuan, the big white rabbit, will show up at this critical moment.
"It makes sense." The other three people in the carriage agreed with his conjecture.
Zhao Changyuan sat up straight, clenched his fists with both hands and solemnly thanked these three people: "No matter what, it is thanks to the help of a few of you that I am able to be as happy as I am today. I, Zhao Changyuan, can't thank you enough!"
From the moment he decided to show up to accompany Gong Yueyue on the day she gave birth, he knew that the biggest obstacle before him was himself. If he was offended by anyone or anything, the consequences would be fatal. Zhao Fudu
She is his dearest relative, and no matter who he hurts, he will never forgive himself.
But if he allowed Gong Yueyue to face the pain of childbirth alone... He would have trouble sleeping and eating just thinking about it.
He then analyzed the current situation and his own situation. Currently, there are only two people who can make him mad, one is Ang Yue, and the other is Pan Zhuqing. The former will not be the factor that needs to be considered that day, so the key to the problem is only
That leaves the latter.
He, Zhao Changyuan, is a man who is familiar with the art of war and is good at using underhanded tactics. Under his arrangement and control, he is able to move the tiger away from the mountain and secretly infiltrate the warehouse. He knows that for Pan Zhuqing, there are key points that cannot be touched by others at this moment.
So when he stayed around the Zhao Mansion for three days and learned that Gong Yueyue was about to give birth, the first thing he did was to take these friends and raid Pan Zhuqing's prison. Then, he switched with Fang Zhiwen
After revealing his identity, Fang Zhiwen, under the protection of three masters, took Pan Zhuqing on a one-day trip to the outskirts of Cangzhou.
Lin Fan said nothing, still smiling lightly. Xiao Jun scratched his head shyly.
Only Lin Moyan waved his hand and said cheerfully: "Look what you said, won't we have to borrow your help in the near future? Generalissimo!"
"Helping you is like helping myself." Whether he can get Lu Ranqing's last and most critical antidote depends on the final victory or defeat of the battle they are about to start in the desert. "We must work together.
Get through this!"
Seeing his high fighting spirit, Lin Moyan and Xiao Juan were naturally very happy.
But the old man Lin Fan still had to suppress the sharpness of several young people to prevent them from being dazzled by arrogance: "Boys, it is a good thing to have confidence. But we must not underestimate the enemy. That group of people, especially those named Gu
He is by no means an idle person. He was able to steal the position of power of the Ming Cult on his own, but now we have to put in more effort to pull him down, both mentally and physically."
Zhao Changyuan never dared to look down on this unspectacular little old man in front of him, especially knowing that he was actually Lu Ranqing's senior brother, the evil master's master, and the second-ranked master in the desert... "Junior, please keep this in mind and you will definitely deal with it carefully.
."
As far as this issue is concerned, Zhao Xiong is really at a loss. Liu couldn't help complaining: "It's true for Zhao'er, just make up a reason to appease her first! If he leaves like this quietly, whoever else won't follow him?"
urgent?"
Zhao Xiong said calmly: "I also suggested it, but Zhao'er said that he didn't want to deceive his wife."
Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes in anger: "If you don't want to lie to her and don't want to tell the truth, then let's..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Xiong smiled: "To be honest? Do you know what the truth is? Even I don't know. How I comforted you at that time, you can comfort her as well. My wife Hui Zhilanxin
, I can't trouble you with such a small thing. I'm going to the military camp." After saying that, he straightened the hosta in Liu's hair with his hand and left the dining room feeling quite proud.
Zhao Xiong treats his wife well in private. Although he is not as good as Zhao Changyuan, he is still considerate. But in public, this is the first time that he will make words to make his wife happy and make such intimate gestures. There is also the heir effect.
It's really too powerful.
Before Mrs. Liu could recover from the surprise, she heard a sweet and sweet voice coming from outside the door: "Mother-in-law is blushing."
Ms. Liu followed the sound and looked over, only to see Gong Yueyue walking in with Xiaomei's support with a wicked smile on her face. She was startled, and hurriedly came over to complain: "Oh, girl, why did you get out of bed! Xiaomei"
Why didn't you stop me?"
Gong Yueyue quickly excused the innocent Xiaomei: "It's not my fault, it's just me who can't lie down. The weather is so good today, so just let me move a little bit."
Mrs. Liu knew that she was very active by nature and would not want to lie down obediently. She said nothing more and just helped her sit down at the table. Then she asked tentatively: "Then...how long have you been here?"
She answered simply: "I heard everything you just said."
Ms. Liu was a little embarrassed, but seeing that her expression was natural and not as grief-stricken or angry as she imagined, she asked again, "So... you know that Zhao'er is gone, right?"
She nodded, took the breakfast Xiaomei served her, and said calmly: "I know, I guessed it before he left."
"You didn't stop him?" Her calmness made Ms. Liu feel extremely strange.
She turned to look at her mother-in-law: "No. I know that if he was not desperate and in a desperate situation, he would never abandon us. I can't let him go in my heart, so how can he let us go? If I stop him, it will only make him worse.
It's uncomfortable. I can't help him now. The only thing I can do for him is to wait and not become a burden to him."
The strength in Gong Yueyue's eyes and the stubbornness in her tone moved Mrs. Liu. For the first time, she admired the little girl in front of her with some unknown origins from the bottom of her heart. "Girl... you... are indeed my Zhao'er's heartthrob."
