Chapter 9 Chapter Eight

Liancheng was extremely anxious, she watched helplessly as the group of people dug a hole. "I said girl, the hole has already been dug, I think you should recruit it, I think you look like a flower, wouldn't it be a pity to be buried alive like this?" A guard wanted to touch Liancheng with his hands in a hurry Face. "Fuck!" Liancheng spat at him fiercely, "Girl, I didn't do anything, why should I recruit? Let me tell you, what you do is breaking the law, and if you let the yamen find out, you will be jailed." !" "Oh, you still have a hard mouth." Another servant laughed and said, "You are toasting, don't eat fine wine!"

"What nonsense are you talking to her? Push her down!" shouted the guard. Liancheng struggled but had no choice but to be pushed into the big pit by them. Besides Jiang Yichen, he finally decided to save Liancheng, ran back to the dyeing workshop in one breath, caught a steward and threatened him to reveal Liancheng's whereabouts.The steward was frightened by Jiang Yichen, and immediately recruited everything, only saying that Liancheng was dragged to the mass grave. When Jiang Yichen heard it, he immediately regretted it. He didn't delay any longer and went straight to the mass grave, just in time to see the scene where Liancheng was pushed into the pit by the guards.

"Let go of me, let me go up!" Liancheng yelled angrily, trying to climb up, but he was pushed down after only one step, and the people above suddenly let out a laugh, with mocking expressions on their faces. "Guys, fill in the soil!" The guard greeted, and the servant picked up the shovel and buried the soil on Liancheng's head. Jiang Yichen was furious when he saw it, he flew forward and kicked the two of them, and he stretched out his hand to pull Liancheng up. "Why is it you!" Seeing Jiang Yichen, Liancheng was surprised but also heaved a sigh of relief. She patted the dirt on her body, "Are you here to save me?"

Jiang Yichen was about to speak when he suddenly heard a shout from a distance. "Liancheng, where are you, Liancheng!" Jiang Yichen's expression darkened. Liancheng already laughed happily. "It's Hengtai! Hengtai, I'm here!" Jiang Yichen gritted his teeth and stood up straight. He couldn't let Hengtai see that he was still a fugitive.It's just why he also came to save her. When he came, she didn't smile so happily. Obviously he saved her, but she wasn't so happy. As for this person, just a call came, and she was already as happy as if she had obtained the most beautiful treasure in the world.

"Forget it, I'm still the beauty of an adult, goodbye, we'll see each other indefinitely!" Jiang Yichen said in a low voice, turned around and walked into the forest behind. Liancheng was still caught in the joy of Hengtai coming to rescue her, so he didn't notice Jiang Yichen's departure at all. There is always a person in this world, whose appearance will make you completely ignore the whole world. For Liancheng, Hengtai is such an existence, you can ignore the existence of the whole world. "Hengtai!" Liancheng yelled at the top of his voice, crawling to the ground while shouting, the moment she stood up, she happened to see Hengtai galloping towards her, and who was it not Tong Yuxiu who was following him?

"Oh, how did I know that Liancheng is our Grandpa Heng's favorite person?" Tong Yuxiu's voice came in a very ostentatious voice, "This incident is caused by a family, and I also worked hard to make money, and I lost my money Distressed, please don't blame me." Liancheng completely ignored Tong Yuxiu. In her eyes, it didn't matter who Tong Yuxiu was. The important thing was that Hengtai was here, right in front of her eyes. Hengtai came forward and gently wiped the dust off her face, his eyes were full of distress. "Sorry, I am late." It seems that he always comes late. Liancheng was framed by Tong Jialin before, and now he is framed by Tong Yuxiu.

Liancheng pursed his lips and shook his head: "Fortunately, someone saved me, otherwise you would be really late." Hengtai was stunned: "Who saved you?" "It's him." Liancheng looked back, only to notice that Jiang Yichen was no longer here, "Hey, it's strange, he was still there just now." "Forget it, I met another day, thank him again." Hengtai didn't care about other things at this time, only cared about Liancheng, "I'll take you home." After he finished speaking, he remembered that Tong Yuxiu was still by his side, so he turned his head and said to Tong Yuxiu, "I won't pursue this matter with you today. Brother and sister, you have been back to your natal family for a long time, hurry up tomorrow, let's go back home After all, we are all family, so why bother?"

"I see." Tong Yuxiu gritted her teeth and responded. She stood by and saw Hengtai's concern for Liancheng, and she felt jealous. She thought he didn't want her when she came to his door, but he had feelings for this poor wild girl. soft spot. After Hengtai explained, he ignored Tong Yuxiu and left with Liancheng.In the mountain forest, Jiang Yichen quietly withdrew his head, his face full of helplessness, why was there Song Liancheng between him and the person he was going to deal with. And in Song Liancheng's heart, there was a Fucha Hengtai. Hengtai protected Liancheng all the way back to the small courtyard, he closed the courtyard door as soon as he got back, twisted the towel and wiped Liancheng's face carefully.

"You, I haven't seen you for a day or two, and I'm getting myself into a mess again." Liancheng giggled a few times, and suddenly thought of a question. "How do you know I'm there, aren't you working in the palace?" Hengtai wiped her face and told her what happened. It turned out that after Hengtai came out of the palace, he went straight to the dyeing workshop to find Liancheng, but unexpectedly discovered that the person in charge of the dyeing workshop was Tong Yuxiu. Tong Yuxiu didn't admit that Liancheng was with her at first, Hengtai hurriedly found a few workers to confront her, Tong Yuxiu could only say that she caught a thief last night and didn't know it was Liancheng.Hengtai ignored her nonsense, as long as she handed over Liancheng, Tong Yuxiu refused, insisting that Liancheng was the thief who stole gold and silver.

Hengtai believed that Liancheng would never do such a thing, and Tong Yuxiu told him that he had no choice but to agree to find out the real culprit, and then Tong Yuxiu would obediently let Liancheng go. The matter was urgent, Hengtai brought two hounds directly from his tent, this dog is quite human, and people who have seen it will never forget the smell, Hengtai brought the two dogs here, the purpose is to let the dogs smell The breath of the thief, and follow the breath to chase the thief. Tong Yuxiu looked at the two dogs brought by Hengtai with disdain: "Can you catch thieves and get stolen goods with just two dogs?"

"This is a golden-nosed dog from the Western Regions. It has an unrivaled sense of smell. What's more, the gold and silver cabinets in your house are not ordinary camphor wood, but golden nanmu, which has a light fragrance. If the gold and silver are kept for a long time, they will also be contaminated with this smell—except for the royal family, who would dare to use golden nanmu? If you let the dog out after a while, you will be able to find the thief, and the thief will naturally get the stolen goods easily." Hengtai looked at it. Looking at the cabinet in front of him, he couldn't help but look a little harshly. Tong Yuxiu felt guilty, and hurriedly said: "Master Heng, don't accuse our Tong family of crimes. What you said is that our Tong family used Jinsinan to surpass the etiquette system! Let me tell you, this was given to my father by the emperor back then. You can't pick up this crime!" Hengtai really doesn't want to talk nonsense with her at this juncture, and he knows how messy this woman is. "Sister-in-law, you are overthinking, it's not too late, let's go get the thief!" Hengtai led the two dogs and walked quickly ahead. Tong Yuxiu also followed, she wanted to see what the hell this Hengtai was up to, and how to find the culprit. Hengtai led the dog and ran farther and farther, more and more remote.Tong Yuxiu was suspicious, could it be that she really wronged Song Liancheng?But she saw her stealing the bag with her own eyes, so how could it be fake? When Hengtai came out leading the dog, he brought a dozen of his subordinates with him. At this time, the group of subordinates had already gone in the direction of the dog. Tong Yuxiu and Hengtai were a little slower. After walking for a while, Hengtai saw bandit villages lined up on the top of the mountain, and the two dogs ran away, Hengtai let the dogs run forward, and he himself accelerated forward, Tong Yuxiu gritted his teeth and followed, so She was sweating profusely when she ran. The bandits on the mountain were eating barbecue and drinking wine at this time, and the two dogs who ran out suddenly were startled. There was a sudden chaos on the top of the mountain. The dozen or so men who came first mingled with the bandits on the mountain. Seeing that they could not resist the attack of these soldiers, those bandits even ignited the explosives and died together with the soldiers. When Hengtai arrived, flowers had already exploded on the mountain, and the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive ran to report to Hengtai: "Report to the general, the corpses and stolen goods of the bandits have been found, but the brothers who killed them first have also been killed." Killed." Hengtai's heart sank, these brothers were his subordinates who fought against him several times, and now they are all lost here, Hengtai only feels extremely sad. Tong Yuxiu saw that the burden was right in front of her eyes, and she already knew that Liancheng was indeed wronged. Jiang Yichen never imagined that he would kill such a group of brothers by taking the burden out of the dyeing workshop and bringing it to this mountain last night.When he came back again, he could only face the blood-stained mountain top and the bandit village that had been blown up to pieces by the explosives. "Sister-in-law, now that everyone has stolen money, are you willing to let him go?" Hengtai asked Tong Yuxiu in a deep voice, if she hadn't insisted on this, why would he bring a group of brothers here to find her stolen gold and silver? Tong Yuxiu hurriedly said with an apologetic smile: "Let go, of course we have to let go! Since all the real thieves have been wiped out, how can there be any reason to detain Miss Liancheng? Brother, you are the best! Hey——I said, it turns out that you, brother, have Now that I have a confidante, no wonder I don’t like any women. I was overwhelmed at the time, and now I think about it, I’m really ashamed—it’s just about the Liancheng girl, do Ama and Erniang know about it..." "Sister-in-law, if I were you, just shut up. Since I can save Liancheng today, I don't care about other people's accusations. It's you, with an official background and a private business. Let's see who is in more trouble if we tell the story. What do you think?" ?" Hengtai directly interrupted Tong Yuxiu's words, the so-called "beating a snake and hitting seven inches", if you want to stop a person's mouth, you must pinch the person's death spot. Sure enough, Tong Yuxiu's complexion changed: "Oh! What is the elder brother talking about? The flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple. After all, we are still a family—come on, come on, I'll ask someone to take you to Miss Liancheng, it's too late It's too late!" In this way, Tong Yuxiu was finally willing to take Hengtai to save Liancheng. After hearing Hengtai's words, Liancheng secretly felt frightened. She grasped Hengtai's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear from her eyes. "I'm sorry I keep worrying you so much." Hengtai scratched her nose, and said softly: "What are you talking about, I don't care about you, who cares about you?" Liancheng felt sweet in her heart, and the grievances she had suffered in the past two days disappeared at this time. She snuggled into Hengtai's arms, and she just felt that it was enough, just leaning on him like this, just leaning on him quietly, was enough. "Liancheng, I want to discuss something with you." Hengtai thought for a long time before finally speaking. Liancheng narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "Say it." "I want to take you to the mansion. Only there can I feel at ease." Hengtai said, "I don't want you to be in danger again. I'm not afraid to save you again and again. I'm just afraid of being late every time." Liancheng's heart was slightly moved. "But... isn't it good for us to be like this now? At most, I won't go out in the future, I'll just stay here, and I won't get involved in any messy things, so... Isn't it good? " "No, I'm worried. If you're a grasshopper, I'll tie you to a bamboo leaf, put you in a cage, and stuff it into your cuffs. I don't have any other worries. You go wherever Master Heng goes. But you You are a troublemaker, I am really worried. I want to tell Er Niang that I will take you to the mansion." Hengtai said it very seriously, without any joke, "You know what? I worry about you all the time , When patrolling, when practicing, when killing the enemy, I am full of you, the feeling that I want to find you but can't find you, it's really terrible." Liancheng stared at Hengtai blankly, she never knew that in Hengtai's heart, she was so important, such an important existence. After a long time, she smiled and said softly: "Okay, I'm all up to you. Up to the poor, Huangquan down to the blue sky, as long as you let me go, I will go." "Then I, then I will make arrangements. I have been out for a long time, and the palace is still on leave! I'm leaving now, you stay here and wait for me." Hengtai explained to her worriedly, "Okay." Liancheng pushed him. "Don't worry, go and come back quickly." It's a happy place here, but Jiang Yichen seems to have fallen into hell. There are corpses, blood and burning bandits everywhere. Jiang Yichen watched the corpses of his familiar brothers strewn across the field, and the fire of anger in his heart became even hotter. "How could this be..." He muttered, looking at the corpses one by one, he had only been away for a day, why did everything turn out like this? Suddenly one of the corpses moved, but Jiang Yichen hurried over to help him up before he was completely dead. "Tell me, how did this happen?" "Yes...it's Fucha Hengtai." The man turned his head and died after saying this. Jiang Yichen's eyes were red, and he burst out with a murderous anger, Fucha Hengtai, it's Fucha Hengtai again! "I was wrong, I was wrong. I didn't expect it to be like this. I must take revenge, take revenge. Yes, the surname is Fucha. Our old enemies are endless and we will add new ones. I will make your family pay for it with blood." He said Looking up and screaming, in the mountains and fields, his voice lingered for a long time, just like the hatred in his heart. He hated why he wanted to save Song Liancheng, he saved Fucha Hengtai's woman, but the price he paid was this brother Manshan! Jiang Yichen was completely enraged. The old enmity buried in his bones and the new enmity now completely burned his mind. He wanted revenge, and he wanted revenge against the entire Fucha family! Hengtai had just returned to the palace, and someone congratulated him on his back. Hengtai was a little at a loss, not knowing where the joy came from. "Master Fucha, looking at you like this, you don't know yet, right? The emperor has already bestowed a marriage on Xingdaigege to Mr. Fucha, you! You are now the son-in-law!" one of the subordinates said quickly. "The father-in-law who passed the decree has already rushed to your house. It seems that you have not met him. Just now, the superior has explained that you have become a forehead, and you are extremely honorable. The errand of the chief guard is naturally cancelled. Come on! Everyone congratulate the forehead again!" The guards surrounded him and congratulated Hengtai one after another. Hengtai was stunned in place, and the sound of congratulations in his ears gradually faded away, marriage?Why did the emperor give him a marriage at this time? But the emperor bestowed a marriage, what should Liancheng do? He just promised to take her back to the General's Mansion, how will he face Liancheng?Yes, he said that his marriage was decided by others, and Lian Cheng also said that she didn't care about her status, but it didn't mean that he could make her feel wronged. She has nothing left, she only has him, if he can't protect her well, then in this world, who will she tell her full of grievances and bitterness? Hengtai walked out in a daze. Princess Xingdai was lying on the tower with a diorama to peek at Hengtai's reaction. Seeing him lost his mind for a moment, she thought he was so happy, and didn't know that Hengtai was already cold at this moment. It's as cool as ice. Hengtai walked all the way back to the General's Mansion, the mansion was very lively with lights and festoons, the imperial decree came down, so the General's Mansion was naturally festive. When Hengtai stepped into the house, it was full of joy and excitement, and Hengtai only felt restless. General Fucha had been waiting for him to come back. When he saw Hengtai walking in, he laughed and walked forward: "The marriage bestowed by the emperor is our greatest honor as a courtier, and it is also the greatest joy for our Fucha family. Hengtai , you become the forehead, the emperor will naturally value you very much, the future is really limitless! Yingyue! This time the wedding must be handled in accordance with the "Princess Heshuo Jubilee Matters". , the palace will send it soon... Hahaha—” At this time, Fang Fujin said sourly: "Hey! I said why did you give Miss Tong's family to our Mingxuan. It turns out that Hengtai has really climbed a high branch!" General Fucha was very happy at first, but he was a little displeased when he heard Fujin say this: "Stop talking sour words here! Yuxiu has been back to her mother's house for a while, this time the emperor bestowed a marriage, and everyone in the family will get it, otherwise The emperor blames it, no one can afford it, you mother and son beg and worship, take Yuxiu home quickly." Seeing that the general was angry, Cian Fujin quickly pulled Ming Xuan to say yes. Hengtai watched them quarreling coldly, only said that he felt a little unwell, and went back to the room. Fujin kept looking at Hengtai's expression, she had an intuition that Hengtai should be hiding something from everyone, so she stood up and followed quietly. Guo Xiao guessed that Hengtai must be feeling uncomfortable at this time, so he waited in front of Hengtai's room early, hoping to comfort his master. "It's such a coincidence that the emperor granted the marriage at this time. I wanted to talk to Er Niang about bringing Liancheng into the mansion today. There is an imperial decree. It's really embarrassing." Hengtai said these words, only Tell Guo Xiao. Guo Xiao knew that Hengtai was upset, so he had no choice but to comfort him. "There is no other way for the emperor to bestow a marriage. No matter how good Miss Liancheng is, she can't get around the imperial decree, right?" "I know this, but I only have one Liancheng in my heart, so how can I marry the princess?" Hengtai was very upset, and his tone was very irritable. Just as Guo Xiao was about to say something, Mother Guo suddenly walked in with Fujin supported. "What is Liancheng? Hengtai, what's wrong with you today? Do you have something to hide from Erniang?" Hengtai was taken aback, he didn't expect Fujin to follow him at all, he didn't want to let Fujin know about Liancheng's existence under such circumstances, he wanted to find a suitable opportunity for Fujin to meet Liancheng, but now everything It's over. "Er Niang..." Hengtai wondered how to speak, "It's like this, I fell in love with a girl." "Guo Xiao, can this happen!" Fujin turned around and asked Guo Xiao. Guo Xiao had no choice but to recruit them all, and immediately explained the fight between Hengtai and Tong Jialin a few days ago, and the last search of Tong's house. Fujin didn't expect it to be like this, and was confused for a while. "Do you know that you have been married by the emperor now, any girl will lose her head! Besides, how do you know that the girl didn't marry you for your money?" Hengtai walked up to Fujin and asked her softly: "Emiang, do you think your son is really an idiot? Apart from power, money and fame, he has nothing to offer? There is no good boy who is kind-hearted and does not covet wealth and honor." Girl in love with me?" Fujin was questioned by Hengtai. She looked at the handsome son in front of her, and naturally she didn't want to believe that such Hengtai would not be able to attract girls. It's just that even if the girl came out of the mud and was not stained, the brothel is Brothel, how can such a background be worthy of Hengtai? Guo Xiao has been helping the girl to talk, Fujin became more and more embarrassed when he heard it, the girl seems to be a good girl, if it is in the past, it is not impossible for Hengtai to marry back and become a concubine. But now Hengtai is going to marry the emperor's princess, what should I do? "Son, Nanny Guo and I will go to meet this girl in person later, but we can't bring up the matter of taking her into the mansion for the time being. The emperor will give you a marriage, so let's not talk about it—you If we insist on going our own way, our Fucha family will be in great trouble." Fujin sighed, "Whether you agree or not, I will give you an answer—Guo Xiao will lead the way in a moment. Hengtai, you are not allowed to go, you have to stay at home Get ready for the big wedding." Hengtai was overjoyed, it was already a big concession for Fujin to meet Liancheng, and Hengtai was confident that as long as Fujin met Liancheng, he would definitely like her. "Thank you, Erniang!" Hengtai said hastily. Having said that, Fujin didn't delay, and directly asked Guo Xiao to lead the way to see Liancheng. When Liancheng heard the knock on the door, he thought it was Hengtai who was back and was happy, but when he opened the door, he found two women. Guo Xiao hurriedly introduced: "Miss Liancheng, this is our Fujin. Uncle Heng's mother." Liancheng was taken aback. How could he have imagined that the person standing in front of him was Hengtai's Eniang, so he immediately knelt down and saluted. "Liancheng pays respects to Fujin." Fujin glanced at her, did not speak, just walked into the yard, finally stepped into the hall, and sat down on the soft couch.Lian Cheng didn't care, stood up and went to pour water for Fujin. Fujin finally said: "Just put it down, don't be too busy, I'm here, I want to ask you a few words." Liancheng sat down on the armchair at one side, picked up the shirt he made for Hengtai, and sewed it up stitch by stitch. "Fu Jin, you can ask." "I heard from Hengtai that the two of you have signed a lifelong contract privately?" Fujin asked directly without beating around the bush. Liancheng has always been a straight-forward person, since Fujin asked, she had nothing to hide, and admitted yes openly. Fujin was silent for a while, before saying: "Let's get straight to the point, no matter what happened between you so far, please end here and let each other go." Unexpectedly, Liancheng did not panic, but seemed to be prepared to hear what Fujin said, and smiled calmly at this moment: "Did Fujin come here because Tong Liancheng said this? I also told Fujin cut to the chase, what Hengtai wants, he has to tell me himself. As for me, I won’t let go.” Fujin was stunned, she looked at Liancheng's face, and couldn't bear it in her heart: "Miss Liancheng, why are you doing this? You know, the emperor has given Hengtai a marriage, and until now, his marriage is our parents' You can't control it anymore, you have nothing to follow him, you may sneer at the word 'name' now, but you will find out later that the love between men and women will eventually be diluted by time, and what can guarantee you is 'name' '.Girl, I thank you for loving my son, and I also hope that you can love yourself, choose a wise path, choose a suitable person, and let's go." As Fujin said, she signaled Nanny Guo to leave three bank notes for Liancheng. She couldn't bear to look at Liancheng's appearance again. It was indeed like what Hengtai said, she is a good girl. You can understand some people at a glance. Liancheng is Such a person. What a pity for such a girl. Liancheng sat in the same place for a long time, she was about to cry, but she kept holding back until Fujin walked out, and she suddenly came back to her senses.She grabbed the silver ticket on the table and followed out, saying loudly: "Fu Jin, I know you are rich and powerful, and I can't afford to be high. But I am also a person, with feelings and dignity. You give me the money to buy As for me, should I buy the Hengtai in my heart? Which one do you think I can sell to you? Take the money back. I still say the same thing, what Hengtai wants, I want him to tell me. Liancheng will never let go!" Fujin became more and more embarrassed, she said whatever she wanted, but this girl was so stubborn that she couldn't listen to her at all. "It's up to you, anyway, do it yourself." Nanny Guo helped Fujin out of the yard, Fujin didn't know why, but felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart, she murmured: "She is a good girl, she looks good, but she is a bit stubborn." "Fu Jin, do you think this girl looks a bit like a person?" Mother Guo has been observing Liancheng, and she was secretly startled when she first saw Liancheng, she just thought it was too similar. "Who?" Fujin asked back. "The old slave thinks that this appearance, this stature, and this temperament are very similar to Fujin when you were young." Nanny Guo and Fujin have been masters and servants for decades, and they don't deliberately scruple when they speak . Fujin's heart was shocked. In fact, she also felt the same way. She always felt that the girl's appearance was somewhat familiar. At this time, when Nanny Guo said it, she realized that the reason why she felt familiar was because she resembled her too much. "I'm also really embarrassed." Fujin sighed. Guo Nanny thought for a while and said, "This old slave has an idea. If the girl is sincere to the young master, then she will think of a way in the future, and there will always be a solution. If she is not sincere, I am afraid that she will die after a while." Give up. The immediate plan is to stabilize the young master." Fujin nodded: "This is also feasible." After making up their minds, the two returned to the General's Mansion. Besides, Jiang Yichen, so many brothers died overnight, he was so depressed that he ran to Chunfenglou to find his old acquaintance Baile for a drink. Speaking of which, Baile has been with him for some time, and he has a deep affection for him. "Hey, why do you come to my place when you have time?" Baile came over to pour the wine for him, "What's the matter, are you depressed?" "The village is gone, and the brothers are gone. I don't know where to go except you." Jiang Yichen raised his head and drank a glass of wine, grabbed Baile's hand and kissed it. Bai Le withdrew his hand and said angrily, "I'm always the last one you think of. When you were in the village, you asked me to come to the capital as an internal response. I took orders and came here, thinking that I could spend more time with you." , but you are in a hurry every time. You said you were afraid that others would be suspicious, so I resigned myself to my fate. I waited and waited and hoped and hoped, just waiting for the moment you came to Beijing, but in the end, the stockade was gone. The fake proprietress has also become the real shopkeeper, but you are here, but you only look out of this window, there is no one in front of you." If it was in the past, Jiang Yichen would have become impatient after hearing what Baile said, but I don’t know if it was because the village was sad because his brother died, or because he had changed a little after getting to know Song Liancheng. Hearing what Baile said now , he felt a little sad in his heart. He hugged Baile and lowered his head to kiss her, but Baile pushed him away. "You think I'm just trying to have a good night with you?" "Then what do you want?" Jiang Yichen asked. Bai Le reached out to caress his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and said softly, "You always knew that what I want is your heart." "Unfortunately, my heart is long gone." Jiang Yichen smiled ironically. It wasn't the first time Baile had heard this, she just smiled and didn't take it seriously.When she walked to the window, she happened to see crowds of people on the street. Many servants and maids in the palace were walking on the street, some holding various palace dowries, or two carrying large gold-painted boxes, looking very lively. "What's so lively?" Baile asked curiously, "Why did the people in this palace come out?" "Oh?" Jiang Yichen walked over thoughtfully, "Where is this going?" Baile stood watching for a while, and suddenly remembered something. "I guess it's the General's Mansion. I heard that the emperor betrothed the princess to your deadly enemy, Fucha Hengtai. Counting the days, it's almost the same time. Maybe it's just a matter of arranging a wedding." Jiang Yichen's face moved, and he was already calculating in his heart: "So, there should be a lot of people walking around the General's Mansion these days." "That's right, what do you want to do?" Baile had known Jiang Yichen for not a day or two, so he naturally knew there was something in his words, "You don't want to take advantage of it..." "No, I'm just asking casually." Jiang Yichen said lightly, and he handed over the empty wine glass, "Have another drink with me." Bai Le swallowed the words as soon as he reached his mouth. Jiang Yichen didn't like others interfering in his affairs, nor did he like the idea of ​​others interfering with him. If he didn't say anything, she would stop asking. "Okay, don't say a cup, it's fine to drink with you for a lifetime." Jiang Yichen smiled, he already had an idea in his mind, after drinking a pot of wine, Jiang Yichen left the Chunfeng Building with the wine glass down.In fact, Bai Le's guess was right, he really planned to take the opportunity to sneak into the General's Mansion. Usually the general's mansion is very guarded, so it will take some effort for him to go in, but now such a good opportunity, he doesn't want to miss it in vain. He nimbly mixed into the team preparing for the wedding, and followed into General Fucha's mansion. At this time, in the general's mansion, the general was talking to Hengtai: "Hengtai! You will be the son-in-law soon. Although it is an honor, marrying Princess Heshuo is very different from the marriage of ordinary powerful families. After all, she is the king's order, and you are the courtier. This husband and wife are based on the premise of the title of the king and the minister. According to the etiquette system of the Qing Dynasty, if the forehead son-in-law wants to meet the princess, he must bow his knees first; You still have to kowtow to thank you for the reward. There is a folk saying, "If you marry a wife, you will get a princess, and the government will be built on the ground." May I, I also have to thank you." Hengtai didn't want to marry the princess in his heart, but Hengtai still respectfully responded to the general's careful instructions: "Got it, Ama." At this time, Fang Fujin brought Mingxuan and Tong Yuxiu over by chance. That day Hengtai asked Tong Yuxiu to come back at the Mass Burial Hill, but for some reason, Tong Yuxiu actually went back to the General's Mansion obediently. When Tong Yuxiu saw the general at this time, her face was a little embarrassed, after all, her previous walk was not honorable at all. Cian Fujin pulled Tong Yuxiu to signal her to speak, Tong Yuxiu could only laugh and said, "Ama, I'm back! I was ignorant before, so don't take offense." General Fucha nodded with a smile and said, "Well, it's good to be back, it's good to be back. Hengtai has been given a marriage, and he's going to be a son-in-law! The most important thing at home now is to make this big wedding a success!" Cian Fujin was a little unhappy, but she didn't dare to show it, she just pulled Tong Yuxiu back to her side. Tong Yuxiu muttered: "Why should he get all the benefits?" She thought of Hengtai's nervous look when she was in the mass grave, and she felt panicked in her heart. Hearing Tong Yuxiu's words, Fang Fujin had no choice but to comfort Tong Yuxiu: "Oh! You don't know! He is the eldest son again, and this time he stepped on the dragon's tail to go up to the sky and become the forehead son-in-law. It will be difficult in the future, It seems that you and I should keep our tails between our legs! How can we offend his noble son-in-law?" The general frowned when he heard what Cai Fujin said, and he was very displeased: "What are you still mumbling about? Go in and rest quickly. Hengtai, you go too. The princess will be busy when she enters the house in three days, so I have more time now." Rest and recharge your spirits." Hengtai wanted to leave here very much. Hearing what the general said, he quickly responded and walked away. Cian Fujin dragged Tong Yuxiu to follow towards the inner courtyard. At this moment, Jiang Yichen was among the crowd. Seeing that General Fucha was the only one left in the courtyard, he suddenly dropped the disk in his hand and flew towards the general. The target he sneaked into the general's mansion to strike turned out to be General Fucha! General Fucha quickly flashed past, and the two immediately fought fiercely. During the struggle, General Fucha tore off a piece of Jiang Yichen's sleeve, and saw a very strange scar on Jiang Yichen's arm. The general was stunned for a moment, and his subordinates hesitated. At this time, Hengtai heard the movement in the courtyard and turned back, and the people who had just walked away also returned to the courtyard. Jiang Yichen felt resentful but could only leave temporarily, Hengtai raised his foot to chase after him, but was blocked by General Fucha, Hengtai said urgently: "Ama, there is still time to chase!" General Fucha looked a little strange, he said: "It's just a little thief, don't chase it." Hengtai was surprised, General Fucha has always hated evil, why did he suddenly change his temper today? General Fucha turned around and walked towards the hall. The scar on Jiang Yichen's arm kept flashing in his mind, and those sealed past events finally broke through the shackles and surfaced in his mind. He staggered and nearly fell, but Fujin supported him quickly. "What's the matter? Master, why do you look restless?" General Fucha waved his hand and smiled at Fujin: "I'm fine. I'm probably too happy these days and haven't had a good rest, so I'm a little dizzy. Go get busy. I'll leave the family affairs to you these days." "What did you say?" Fujin scolded, poured a glass of water for General Fucha, and went down. General Fucha held the tea but didn't drink it. He stood up and walked slowly into the inner courtyard. Finally, he opened the door of the study and took out a painting from the dark cabinet. The portrait was opened, and a beautiful woman was painted on it. The woman's wonderful eyes flowed vividly, and a layer of water vapor gradually appeared in General Fucha's eyes. He murmured: "The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and in the Ming Dynasty, I will buy apricot flowers in the deep alley." "Xing Yu, I seem to have seen him." General Fucha hung the portrait on the wall, "How could it be such a coincidence? Such a scar...is it him?" General Fucha remembered that it really happened more than 20 years ago. At that time, he had not married the present Fujin, and Xing Yu was his beloved girl. In March of Yangchun, the apricot blossoms are like snow, and Xingyu sits under the apricot tree to sew clothes for him. Xingyu’s adopted son wants to learn how to practice swords from him, and he uses a bamboo pole as a long sword, dancing and dancing. , that is, more than 20 years of time are like swords. Looking back, Xing Yu is gone, and his godson Jiang Yichen, who was learning swords from him, doesn't know where he has gone. "Could it be him?" General Fucha murmured absently. At that time, Jiang Yichen, who was five years old, had such a burn on his arm, which was caused by accidentally burning it on the stove selling sesame seed cakes.And the person who fought with him in the yard today also had that scar on his arm. At this time, Fujin pushed open the door of the study and walked in. Seeing him staring at Xing Yu's portrait with fascination, he couldn't help but feel sad: "Master, why did you take it out?" "It's nothing, just happened to touch it, so I took it out to clean off the dust." General Fucha said softly. Perhaps in his heart, the relationship when he was young is the most untouchable wound, and it will hurt vaguely when he touches it. “死者已矣，请老爷莫要伤怀。还是想一些愉快的事吧，很快就是恒泰的大婚了，您早些休息！”福晋走过去将画像仔细地卷好又放了回去。富察将军没有说话也没有阻止，只是眼神恍恍惚惚的，怕是又想起了过去的那些时光吧。 江逸尘其实并未离开将军府，只是趁乱躲入了假山之后。 此时风声过去，他便想走出来。 然而未走几步就听到假山那边传来一串急促的脚步声，跟着有人急道：“这么重要的事情，你为何不告诉我？” 说话的人是富察恒泰，跟在他后面的正是郭孝。 郭孝此时很是后悔，他没忍住将福晋和连城说的话告诉了恒泰。那天福晋进了院子并没有让郭孝跟进去，不过他还是听到一些的。福晋让连城离开恒泰，他听得还是很清楚的。 恒泰一听这还得了，当下有些急了：“不成，我心里难受。什么额驸，我才不稀罕，我要去见连城。” 福晋后来回府，同他可不是那样说的，她满口答应恒泰以后会接连城进将军府，但这完全和郭孝说的是两回事。 “少将军，福晋都已经让步了，你又何必再起波澜呢？万一要是把事情给闹大了，到手的好事不说，还要连累府上这么多人，就连那连城姑娘，也有干系啊！你就听我一次，乖乖地在房里躺着吧，挺过这一阵就好了。福晋不是答应你把连城姑娘接进府吗？你这是又想着让我挨揍啊！”郭孝心里也急，他真是不想主子这个时候去见连城。 恒泰站住想了想，郭孝说得倒也不是没有道理，他只是心中挂念连城，加上听了郭孝的话就急了，不过福晋也不是那种两面三刀之人，她和连城那么说，许是为了考验连城对他的心意呢。 想到这里，恒泰努力深吸了一口气，然后转身走回房去。 江逸尘一直在假山后面，将郭孝和恒泰的对话听得一清二楚，他一计不成，心中已然有了其他的想法。 富察恒泰既然已经被赐婚做了额驸，而他又对连城如此用情，要是娶亲当日，他不出现，这不是欺君之罪？ 江逸尘想到这里，蓦地冷笑起来，这真是山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村啊。
