Zhuge Ling couldn't help but sigh after hearing Shui Lianyue's words. At the same time, the inner room also became quiet.
“We were just passing through for one night.”
As soon as Shui Lianyue finished speaking, Hongying was slightly startled. The lady is lying again. Could it be that Master Zhuge can't be trusted? The lady clearly said that she would temporarily live in seclusion in Bai County until the war between the two armies begins, and then decide based on the situation.
"In that case, let's live here. If anything happens, we can take care of you." Zhuge Ling originally wanted to say something else, but Shui Lianyue's abnormality was noticed by him. She was a sensitive person, and maybe she had just interacted with Shui Lianyue. Yunxiu's conversation made her a little suspicious, but even so, he must not expose it.
That night they rested in a side room, but they never had much conversation with Zhuge Ling [
This private house is really old and can only barely provide shelter from the cold wind. The cold wind howls in the night, making a faint sound on the wall. The ventilation door makes a creaking sound and the red candles keep shaking.
Hongying picked up the black charcoal with iron chopsticks and put it into the charcoal basin. Because there was wind in the house, the charcoal basin would not burn well.
"Hongying, are you blaming me?" Shui Lianyue, wrapped in quilt and half leaning on the bedside, asked Hongying with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
Hongying was startled for a moment, then shook her head and said with a smile: "No."
Shui Lianyue knew that she must have been thinking too much and couldn't help but sigh: "I know what you are thinking, but don't you think what the master and Shui Yunxiu said just now is strange? And when I see the master this time, although the master is still the master, it is not like before. It’s so natural, but I always feel like something is different.”
"What's the difference?" Hongying put down her chopsticks and hurriedly got into the quilt. Shui Lianyue tucked the corner of the quilt tightly for her and looked at her and continued.
"Shui Yunxiu said that she can't coexist peacefully with me because I am hers, and the look in Master's eyes seems to give me a look of meeting someone I love, which I have never seen before."
"My beloved" Hongying was speechless when she heard this, "Miss, why do you think so?"
Shui Lianyue carefully recalled the scene where the master looked at her. Her guess was correct. It was the kind of look that would be revealed when meeting the one you love. To be precise, it was the look of extreme love. After all, she also She has truly loved someone before, so she knows what that look in her eyes means.
"Miss, please forgive Hongying and tell me if you have become too sensitive after experiencing so much."
Shui Lianyue moved her body and lay down and sighed: "Maybe I really thought too much."
If he hadn't seen her with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Zhuge Ling would show that kind of look to her.
The night was like a thick inkstone and the cold wind still continued to whistle. In the courtyard, which was not spacious to begin with, there were two black figures. One of the black figures stared intently at the child who was lit by candlelight, his eyes exuding a strange color. A faint smile lowered his voice and said: "Finally found her."
Another dark figure also looked over, "Master, why don't you go and meet me?"
The shadow shook his head: "Meeting is inevitable."
"Master, are you afraid that she won't be able to accept the truth? Master underestimates her?"
"Yeah"
The wind blew the sound away. The two black figures did not stay for long and disappeared in an instant.
Zhuge Ling waited for the two black figures to leave, then opened the door and walked out, looking towards the direction where the black figures disappeared, his eyebrows furrowed and deeply furrowed [
The next morning, Shui Lianyue and Hongying bid farewell to Zhuge Ling. Zhuge Ling did not stop them and allowed them to leave, but his eyes became more profound.
The war is about to break into Jinxi Kyoto from Yingdu. It is necessary to pass five passes and kill six generals. These five counties and cities have been given new faces by Nangong Ling. Except for the two counties and cities of Nanyang County and Luchang County, after Yingdu, Nangong Ling wants to clean up. They had to pass through Yingdu, but Nangong Yu's defense was so tight that Nangong Ling's people couldn't pass through at all.
As long as the six neighboring cities take over Nostalgic City, they can approach Jin Jingdu in one go.
What gives Nangong Yu a headache is that the commander of the troops in Huaigu City is actually Captain Jiao Guanghai, the Black Dragon Cavalry.
Jiao Guanghai once fought side by side with Nangong Yu. Although their friendship was not deep, they lived and died together. It was more difficult to let go than ordinary friendship.
Xiao Tian did send someone to test Jiao Guanghai's intention. At first, Jiao Guanghai said that he would consider it and set a date, and he would send someone to inform him of the result. But he didn't know why Jiao Guanghai had set the date and sent someone to deliver the message, but the person who sent the letter was Zhongcheng, the minister of the Ministry of War.
He told Xiao Tian that Jiao Guanghai would not defect to King Yu because his family members were summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother's decree and never left again.
"Originally, I shouldn't have told you this, so I should just repay the kindness you once helped me." After Zhong Cheng said that, he turned around and left, but before leaving, he secretly left a letter on the letterhead with the words "Prince Yu's Personal Letter" written on it.
Xiao Tian did not dare to delay and quickly sent someone to deliver the letter to Yingdu overnight and hand it over to Nangong Yu.
When Nangong Yu unfolded the letter, it was actually written by Jiao Guanghai to King Yu.
"I think that I, Jiao, have been loyal for half his life, but in the end, he is no more than this. Although he is not a wise king, as long as he sits on the dragon throne in the court, Jiao will defend to the death. This is the bloody oath of the Black Dragon Cavalry, and it is also the mission of everyone in the Black Dragon Cavalry.
When the prince saw this letter, Jiao had already led his troops to the ancient city of Huaigu. Jiao never thought that one day he would be sword-to-edge with the prince, but things went against his wishes. Jiao's last words were cherished by the prince. "
Nangong Yu read the letter, his slender fingertips trembled slightly, his sword eyebrows were knitted, and the desolation in his dark blue eyes was revealed. Jiao Guanghai was a good general in the battle, resourceful and powerful, and he was just a brother who had been with him through life and death.
But he has the idea of continuing
In a supervisory sense, he did want to rebel at this time, but in an objective sense, he was also wrong. He wanted to defend himself and avenge his mother and concubine, right?
Each has its own difficulties. If the law is unified, why continue to struggle?
He is bound to capture Jiao Guanghai in Huaigu City. If he really gives up his life for Nangong Ling, he is only loyal to his mission.
The letter was turned into powder by the wind when Nangong Yu held it tightly and released it again.
"The prince has news about the princess." Qing Niao waited for Nangong Yu to read the letter before walking in.
"Oh, where is she?" When Nangong Yu heard these words, his dark blue eyes were filled with a touch of splendor.
Qingxiao hesitated for a moment and looked at Nangong Yu without fear, "If the prince promises that his subordinates will not leave Yingdu, he will tell you otherwise. Even if the prince executes his subordinates, he will not tell them."
"You are so brave!" Nangong Yu shouted sharply after hearing this.
"Your Majesty Qingxiao didn't mean it, she just didn't want the prince to take risks. Nangong Ling has been sending people to track down the whereabouts of the princess. If he knew that the prince left Ying, what kind of situation would it cause. I'm afraid the prince knows better than his subordinates, so I ask the prince to think twice." The words just finished
