Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Five

Gu Qianlian stepped out of the quiet room out of the wind and rain in the open space of the courtyard and walked past Feng Xinglie with her head lowered, as if she couldn't see Feng Xinglie. Seeing her devastated expression, Feng Xinglie felt pity, and chased after her, not knowing what to say, so he could only accompany her in the rain. Gu Qianlian stopped and sighed faintly; only Feng Xinglie also stopped behind her. Gu Qianlian said softly: "Xing Lie! My heart is in a mess." Feng Xinglie said: "You have used so many methods, but you still can't achieve your goal?"

Gu Qianlian shook her head and said, "No! Madame agrees." Feng Xinglie really wanted to ask her what happened to Gu Ningqing, but he was arrogant, even if he was impulsive, he resisted asking, and let Gu Qianlian tell him spontaneously.Just wondering: "The goal has been achieved, so why are you still distracted?" Gu Qianlian bowed her head behind his back and said: "Xing Lie! If you have a confidante who is better than Qianlian in all aspects, will you ignore me in the future?" Feng Xinglie was stunned, he didn't know how to answer her, and he also knew that it would be inappropriate to answer anyway.

Gu Qinglian sighed: "Gu Qianlian! Everyone says that you know how to plan for yourself best, but are you just a big fool who seems to understand and only knows how to restrain yourself?" The rain hit the two of them on their heads and bodies, and they were completely soaked, and their clothes were also dripping with rain. Gu Qianlian smiled sadly and said: "You know! Since the first time I met you in the inn of the little thief, I didn't know who you were at that time, and I always thought of you in my heart, thinking of your sad past. The look in your eyes, and the arrogance that never leaves you even when you are in trouble. Do you know that? Are you oblivious to Qianlian's inner feelings?"

Feng Xinglie recalled the past, sighed, but felt the icy cold rain hitting his body, and felt the pleasure of torturing himself. He remembered the trembling look in Xuan Jingni's eyes when he left the spiritual temple in the mountain that day, the sophomore also fell silent that day.It's just that without the lightning and thunder in front of me, it's day instead of night. I also thought of Jin Bingyun. What should he do? He really wanted to see Bingyun again, but he was also most afraid of seeing her; he really wanted to be with Gu Qinglian, but he really wanted to reject this easy-to-reach treasure.

Gu Qianlian's voice continued to enter his ears and said: "Xing Lie! Tell Gu Qianlian! Do you know that she will never look at another man besides you?" Feng Xinglie stretched out his hands, put them on Gu Qianlianxiang's shoulders, and slowly turned her around. Gu Qinglian raised her pretty face, her eyes filled with misery and helplessness. It's really hard for her to have so many unresolved things on her mind. Feng Xinglie said softly with an unprecedented gentleness: "I never believed that you would really like me. I didn't realize your heart until you desperately took me to escape from the enemy's clutches, but you know my past. ?"

Gu Qianlian shook her head blankly, nodded again, and lowered her head: "I don't want to know, and you don't have to tell me, as long as we are happy together from this moment on, that's enough. I don't care about the past, and I don't care about the future." I don't care either. Oh! Xinglie." The little bird fell into his spacious embrace like a human being. Feng Xinglie was moved in his heart, he embraced her hot body, and the wet clothes made them stick together without any barrier, which gave him the feeling of flesh and blood connection with this beauty.

He seemed to get back something lost.It was as if he still had nothing, the feeling of pain, contradiction and hatred for himself made him almost cry up to the sky. Gu Qianlian buried her head in his broad shoulders, and murmured: "Go back to Shuangxiu Mansion! I really didn't lie to you, the last thing Qianlian wants to do now is to go back to Shuangxiu Mansion." The thunderstorm finally subsided slowly, God's fury turned into infinite tenderness, and it rained every now and then. After Chen Lingfang dealt with the local officials who came to greet him in a sophisticated way, he returned to the official ship where he was moored, and closed the cabin door with Lang Fanyun Zuoshi to have a drink in the main cabin.

There was still a little time before dawn. It was very quiet in the main cabin, and there was an exceptionally lonely feeling. Zuo Shi was worried all night, and the boat and car were exhausted. After drinking two glasses of wine, he was overwhelmed and fell asleep next to the back of the chair. At this time, Zhaoxia opened the door and came in, bringing another Tanxian Xiangpiao, with her head bowed in shame, she walked gracefully to the table, and said softly: "Master, do you want Zhaoxia to wait on you?" Chen Lingfang said impatiently: "We have something important to discuss, let's put down the wine jar and go to rest! Remember to close the door!"

Lang Fanyun frowned and said with a smile: "Wait a minute! Young Madam, please fill the wine glasses for Brother Chen and me!" Zhaoxia was stunned. Chen Lingfang said awkwardly: "Pour the bar!" Zhaoxia tremblingly wanted to squeeze the plug off the altar, but she couldn't do it in a hurry. Lang Fanyun smiled gently, stretched out his hand, and uncorked the wine jar held in front of her chest for her. Even Zhaoxia's ears were blushing, she poured wine for the two tremblingly, put down the wine jar, put back the cork, and went out. Chen Fangling watched her disappear outside the door.Sighed: "Brother Lang may blame me for not treating this concubine very well, alas! I was so happy for her that I became a concubine for her continuation, but within ten months, I was dismissed and returned Family, in the past three years, the other wives and concubines have turned to hate her because of jealousy, making them deaf, is this the fault of greed and lust?"

Lang Fanyun didn't want to hear about this kind of family dispute anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "What is Mr. Chen's plan in the future?" Chen Lingfang's blank eyes flashed with shame, he shook his head and sighed: "The old man is too eager to seek an official position, and sometimes he even uses unscrupulous means. What happened tonight is like a wake-up call, awakening my long dream of being an official. Now I just want to find an excuse to push If you lose your life, go back to your hometown and live a happy life, and then you will be drunk in the gentle hometown and spend the rest of your life happily."

Seeing that he was depressed, Lang Fanyun said lightly: "Mr. Chen is thinking of wishful thinking, but it is not easy to ask for an official to leave the office, and it is not easy to resign, and there are still eight villains in the cell at the bottom of the bilge. It's endless." Chen Lingfang said: "This old man has been an official for many years. Many people in the court are still my disciples. They have better methods. These eight people must not keep them. After killing them, I will let out a voice and say that they were secretly invited for me." Killed by a master, if you don't mention it in the future, I'm afraid Shueng Yan will let me go!" Lang Fanyun said: "You are finally sure that Shurangama is behind the scenes." Chen Lingfang said in a deep voice: "The three new nurses named Yang Zheng were specially recommended to this old man by Sha Qianli from Xining, so this old man is completely unsuspecting..." Lang Fanyun was stunned and said: "It seems that the party headed by Hu Weiyong and others have united with the system led by Xining to fight against the founding heroes such as the ghost king Xu Ruowu... Maybe... maybe there is a secret behind the scenes. If the real envoy is Zhu Yuanzhang, then things will be even more difficult." Chen Lingfang changed his face and said: "If the old man is assassinated, the emperor can order Shurangan to fabricate false evidence, and then massacre the ghost king's subordinates, weaken the ghost king's strength, and even confront the ghost king head-on. This is indeed an extremely vicious move. " Lang Fanyun thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "I have never had a good impression of Zhu Yuanzhang, but because he governs the country well..." Chen Lingfang said: "Long-term chaos has been seeking governance since ancient times. Moreover, after the catastrophe, the population has dropped sharply, and the land has more than enough to meet the needs of people's livelihood. Everyone knows this, but they dare not say it!" Lang Fanyun nodded in agreement, and said: "It is better to be still than to move. It is better not to move him in this position of the Son of Heaven." If it is dealt with by ordinary methods, there is death but no life, Mr. Chen may dare to take a bold risk, or he may be able to put everything to death and come back to life." Chen Lingfang cheered up and said, "I'd like to listen with all my ears!" Lang Fanyun said: "First of all, brother Chen used the excuse that the wife and son were shocked, and sent them to a safe place. This matter can be taken care of by me." Chen Lingfang was most concerned about his only son, Nianyao, and he said happily after hearing the words: "Brother Lang said this, I can rest assured!" Xuan frowned and said: "But if I don't bring a single family member to Beijing, wouldn't I give the enemy an excuse to say Do I have ulterior motives?" Lang Fanyun said: "You can bring one or two concubines to the capital, and then let my people pretend to be your guards, and you can handle it. With my Lang Fanyun's Overturning Rain Sword, I have to escort a few people to escape. What will happen? what is the problem?" Chen Lingfang let go of the most difficult thing to let go of, but thought of other problems, and said, "What will happen to us after we go to Beijing?" Lang Fanyun smiled slightly and said: "I haven't understood the delicate situation of the capital, but judging from the current situation of each occupying the top of the mountain, there must be weaknesses that can be exploited. If Hu Weiyong and Leng Yan can be brought down, one will fade away, and the other will grow. Zhu Yuanzhang The power of Quan Chong will be greatly weakened, maybe Brother Chen will have a prosperous official career and do some good things for the people of the world." Chen Lingfang patted the table and said, "Let me and Brother Lang do something great, but Brother Lang's identity..." Lang Fanyun smiled and said: "I will put away my rain-covering sword and pretend to be your Qing guest adviser. There are not many people who have met me in the world, let alone those who hide in the capital and domineering people. I deliberately hid it. Who can see through my identity, and who would have thought that I would hang out with Mr. Chen?" Chen Lingfang said: "But the eight ghosts were captured by mistake, and everyone knows that there are masters guarding the old man..." Lang Fanyun smiled and said: "The reality is false, and the false is true. Mr. Chen boldly spread the news that the eight ghosts were captured by the masters you invited and are now on their way to the capital. It is best for Shurangama to send someone to rescue them." People or kill people, this game is more interesting." Chen Lingfang frowned and said, "But who should be the master?" Lang Fanyun pretended to be puzzled and said: "Didn't you see him just now? It is Fan Bao who I helped. Mr. Chen has been an official for so many years, so his ability to tell lies is not too bad!" Chen Lingfang blushed and was about to answer. "Tuk tuk!" There was a knock on the door. It was Chen Lingfang's butler who came in, and after saluting, he said, "Master! Master Lan Zhiyuan's boat has arrived!" The banks of the Yangtze River. Qin Mengyao was as quiet as usual, and came to the street next to the pier. More than a dozen boats, large and small, were moored on the shore, and the porters were already busy at work, and the business travelers on their way also arrived early, hoping to reach the downstream Jiujiang Mansion before dark. What is different from the past is that there are ten more officials at the pier, and they are constantly checking people who arouse their suspicion.Makes it feel like some accident just happened. Qin Mengyao was not in a hurry to find a boat, and it was no problem for her to go by water or land. Seeing that it was still early in the morning, she went up to the Banjiang Tower beside the river, asked for a side room facing the river, and ordered a plate of shepherd's purse and a bowl of clear porridge. Seeing that she was beautiful and elegant, the staff of the restaurant greeted her very respectfully and kindly, and offered to arrange a passenger ship for her. From time to time, the rhythmic half-song and half-screaming voice of the porter came from the pier, which made her feel the life and rhythm of the people full of sweat and hard work. Qin Mengyao relaxed, leaning against the window, watching the activities by the river calmly. One of the very large ships had five or six gangplanks stretched obliquely, and more than a dozen carts, carrying bags of rice sundries, were lined up in a line, waiting for porters to load them onto the ship and send them to other places. To earn big profits. Qin Mengyao was very interested and watched carefully. Compared with here, Cihang Jingan is a quiet place that has nothing to do with the world, where everything is self-sufficient, and every vegetable is planted from the field by Qi Nei's own people, and two meals are provided for food and clothing. Besides, there is no other request. But everyone here has their aspirations and aspirations, from raising a wife and working children, buying a house and land, living a prosperous life, being full of gold and jade, to fame and wealth, power and wealth. It is these desires that support everyone to struggle upward in this vast world. "True!" Qin Mengyao said without turning her head, "Brother Fang, please come in!" As the door opened and closed, Fang Yeyu's surprised voice sounded in the room: "Miss Mengyao always surprises me, how can I know that I'm taking the liberty to visit without turning my head?" Qin Mengyao's beautiful eyes are still focused on the scene under the window.He said lightly, "My lord, please sit down!" Fang Yeyu sat down opposite Qin Mengyao, when the enthusiastic waiter came in, offered Fang Yeyu bowls, chopsticks and tea cups, and asked if he needed more food and wine. Fang Yeyu declined politely, and rewarded the clerk with a piece of silver that weighed one or two pounds. The lucky clerk carefully closed the door and left happily. The room fell silent. Qin Mengyao sighed softly: "This guy is very grateful to you now, but if he knows that Mr. Fang can destroy his family, make him homeless, and become a slave to the subjugated country, what will he think?" Fang Yeyu also sighed.Said: "Miss Mengyao is accusing. But have you ever thought that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, every time your national power increased, you would wantonly attack us nomads who have nothing to do with the world outside the Great Wall? Cruelty has never ceased to be recorded in the annals of our blood and tears, and when we repay the other in the same way, but we are not, Miss Mengyao thinks this is fair?" Qin Mengyao turned around slowly, her clear eyes met Fang Yeyu's warm eyes, and said calmly: "Since history books, human history has never been separated from struggle and vendetta, but in the world besides hatred, there are also great things. Brother Fang, look at these people outside the door and the window, do you still insist on choosing only hatred and not love between the two?" Fang Yeyu sighed: "I am also forced to do nothing. The hatred between the Mongolian and the Han is as deep as the sea. Zhu Yuanzhang will never let us go, as long as he stabilizes the inner capital. He will send a large army to kill us all. Absolutely, rape all the women. This time I stir up a storm in the world, saying that it is only a distant thing to restore the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, but if it can arouse the unrest in the Ming Dynasty and make Zhu Yuanzhang have no time to look outside, I will achieve my goal. Fang Yeyu Doing my best for the people, Miss Mengyao can still blame me, can't she?" Qin Mengyao sighed in her heart, everyone also has their own standpoint and reasons, one person's good deeds will become another's bad deeds.After listening to Fang Yeyu's heartfelt words, she deeply understood why Chuan Ying, who was a hundred years ago, had no interest in the struggle in the world.The world is like that, who is right?who is wrong Fang Yeyu said in a deep voice: "We have lived in a bitterly cold place outside the Great Wall, and lived in waterwheels. The hardships of life are beyond the imagination of the people of the Central Plains with fertile soil and water. Our invasion of China from the east can be regarded as the pursuit of beauty. life, so I don’t understand why the Han people came to invade us, and what is it for? The best land has already been occupied by you, so why do you want to attack us who have nothing?” Qin Mengyao said softly: "Now that the whole world has been controlled by Brother Fang, is Brother Fang satisfied?" Fang Yeyu shook his head and said: "Maybe I was influenced by Master, and I have seen through the pursuit of power and position in the world. It's just a wrestling until death. Do you know how much I wish I could humbly stand in front of you?" Kneeling down, weeping bitterly, begging the lady to abandon the immortal way, marry Fang, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with him. But the heavy burden on my shoulders makes me only secretly think like this in my dream, Mengyao Miss said Fang Yeyu would be satisfied?" Qin Mengyao didn't expect the other party to show her love so frankly. Looking at the imposing man with both literary talent and martial arts in front of him, he felt pity in his heart, and sighed quietly: "Brother Fang, don't make things difficult for Mengyao!" Fang Yeyu's eyes burst into light. Qin Mengyao's words showed that she didn't have his place in her heart. She was so excited that she couldn't speak. Qin Mengyao turned her face away and looked out of the window. The grain ship had just untied and left the shore, heading downstream, and calmly said: "Brother Fang is about to attack Shuangxiu Mansion, so you don't come to find Mengyao just to talk about your worries!" Fang Yeyu felt that her tone had returned to her usual indifference and isolation, and knew that it was not appropriate to force her emotionally, so she put away her feelings and said, "I'm here to see Miss this time, because I want to know where Miss is going?" Qin Mengyao said calmly: "You have the Venerable Four Secrets and the Red Sun Dharma King to deal with Mengyao, so why worry?" Fang Yeyu said with a straight face: "Miss Mengyao, please don't blame me. Fang would rather suffer a crushing defeat than find someone to deal with Miss Mengyao. I only hope that Miss Mengyao can understand my difficulties and be detached when I come here. Aside from the strife in the world. Alas: Even without us, will the disputes in the world be still for a moment? Why does Miss Mengyao let these ordinary things that flash between life and death disturb the fairy heart?" Qin Mengyao's heart trembled, knowing that Fang Yeyu's words were in her heart, starting from leaving Cihangjing, this journey in the world is just a process of experience, from entering the world to being born, but if she really gets involved After entering this vortex, can she still get out? Can't help thinking of Han Bai, this person is also a "magic barrier" that makes her feel hard to get out of it. Qin Mengyao turned her head and smiled slightly: "Brother Fang, if you can let someone go, Meng can not step into Poyang Lake for ten days." .” Fang Yeyu was stunned and said, "Do you want me to let Han Bai go?" Qin Mengyao nodded, "No!" Fang Yeyu wondered, "Miss Mengyao, please tell me who is that?" Qin Mengyao said lightly: "Qi Changzheng of the Angry Jiao Gang." Fang Yeyu's face changed, knowing that the negotiation with Qin Mengyao had finally broken down, and Qin Mengyao also saw through their attack on Zhixiu Mansion this time, the main target was the Nujiao Gang, so Qi Changzheng, who was up and coming, became the first one to get rid of If Qi Changzheng and Shangguan Yingzhai are allowed to meet together for a while, the combination of these three people will make it difficult for the Nujiao Gang to deal with it. Qin Mengyao made this request that he could not agree to, making it clear that she would not just sit idly by. Fang Yeyu stood up, clasped his fists in a salute, and sighed: "Miss Mengyao really made this difficult for me." Sighing again, he walked towards the door. Looking at Fang Yeyu's back with broad shoulders and narrow waist, Qin Mengyao secretly sighed. Fang Yeyu finally rejected her suggestion to ask him to withdraw from the Central Plains, because if he didn't kill Qi Changzheng, if he didn't go to war with the Nujiao Gang, how could Fang Yeyu How to develop the hegemony? Fang Yeyu pushed open the door, and suddenly turned around.Asked in a low voice, "Did Miss Mengyao fall in love with Han Bai?" Qin Mengyao was caught off guard, stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "I'm sorry: I don't have an answer to tell you." Fang Yeyu laughed, the laughter was full of resentment, and then went out, and at the same time gently closed the door.
