A Lady’s Tranquility - Chapter 226
Luoyang midnight, cold stars in the sky, no moon.
In front of me, I can’t see half a person outside the gate of Guiyi villa.
However, the two men guarding by the door, with strong hands and feet, big arms and round waists, waving hands and holding swords, showed strong vigilance when they swept Xie Wei with cold eyes, and
A little surprise and curiosity.
There are not many people who have seen him in Tianjiao, and few people who have seen him and know that he is the “dujun mountain man” in the legend.
However, the rumors about him these days are everywhere.
It is said that it was Mr. Gongyi’s death, and there are many doubts. This man not only betrayed the religion, but also avenged the kindness, and had a quarrel with the leader of the religion. This trip to Luoyang is that the leader of the religion will finally show his divine power and come out of the mountain to deal with him.
But who could have thought that the legendary Mr. dujun was like this?
A pure Taoist robe, although a bit of the color of the dust, but ink like eyebrows with a calm indifference. Although he came alone, he was not half afraid.
More importantly, it’s not a bad old man
Compared with Gongyi Cheng, who they often met at the beginning, Xie Juan was so young that they couldn’t believe it.
However, soon the daotong who went in to report the news came out.
It’s respectful to get to the door.
He even bowed to Xie Wei, but there was a smell of skin smiling and flesh not smiling. He said, “the head teacher and the girl Jiang Er have been waiting together for a long time. Please come in, sir.”
The street is empty and quiet, blowing from the deserted street, brushing Xie Wei’s clothes and swaying.
But he had a look.
He didn’t say anything more. His eyes were full of fear. He didn’t look like an unfortunate ghost who was constrained by others or was about to become a prisoner. On the contrary, he was calm and calm, as if he had entered his own house. He followed the child through the door.
During his 20 years in Tianjiao, he rarely used the word “Xie Wei” to give orders and give advice. Instead, he took the name “dujun mountain man” as his substitute, so that when he sneaked into the imperial court one day, “Xie Wei” would not arouse the suspicion of the imperial court.
So we seldom go to the branch rudders.
He was not familiar with the branch of Luoyang. When he followed daotong all the way, he looked around quietly, and finally made a detour to a cross courtyard of the villa.
There are bright lanterns outside, and the bottom of the lanterns is black. They are all members of the heavenly religion.
Just listen to a way Tong way: “Mr. Du Jun is coming.”
At that moment, everyone’s eyes turned and fell on him. Then, the crowd separated slowly like a tide, giving him a way, but his eyes followed him all the way.
But Xie Wei turned a blind eye.
He didn’t even look at the congregation. He walked straight through the separate road into the courtyard, and saw the open door inside.
Wan Xiuzi took great pains to capture Jiang Xuening. He felt that Du Jun was very special to this woman. He felt that God had given him a good opportunity, or he was afraid that he could seize his weakness.
It’s just a guess from the beginning to the end.
If Xie Juan, after receiving the letter he left behind, did not come here today regardless of the woman’s life and death, he would not be half surprised. Therefore, when he heard Xie Wei coming and saw him walk in from the outside, Wan Xiuzi, who was sitting on the chair, unconsciously shook his hand on the shoulder of the young woman. He was greatly excited.
The young woman didn’t expect that. She let out a little pain.
However, Wan Xiuzi had already pushed her away, his eyes were shining, and with a certain cold, he quickly locked Xie Wei and laughed: “good, good courage! How dare you come
Xie Wei stood there without a ceremony.
He didn’t even look at Wan Xiuzi first, but at Jiang Xuening.
When she heard daotong’s report that Xie Juan had already come, her heart sank. Now that she saw Xie Wei coming in, her heart sank to the bottom.
Jiang Xuening was also tied to the column.
She was dazed by the medicine for several days, and she was woken up by a ladle of water not long ago. Her face looked pale and haggard, and there were still some wet drops rolling down her cheeks. A pair of black eyes looked at him, eyes light flickering gently, as if there are many words to say, but all hidden in silence.
Xie Juan has thought many times these days about what it would be like to see her at Luoyang Branch.
At present, he should control himself.
So after thinking about everything, even the worst, in his mind, he thought that when he saw Jiang Xuening again, his heart would be as still as water and he would not show any flaws. What’s more, the situation is far from as bad as I think. However, at this time Ai Ai’s glance, with a light worry like tobacco, gave him a hard hit in his heart, which almost made him out of control at this moment, and revealed the deep anger and murder in his heart.
Wan Xiuzi looked at him with great interest and said, “it seems that you really care about this little girl?”Xie Wei turned his eyes.
As soon as he glanced at the young woman at Wan Xiuzi’s feet who was wronged and disheveled, he knew that nothing good had just happened in the room. When he thought that Jiang Xuening had just looked at her in the room, the frost at the bottom of his eyes became a bit heavy, but he said: “how dare you not summon the head of the sect? However, Jiang Xuening is the daughter of a colleague in the imperial court. She once saved my life. She should not be involved in me in terms of feelings and reasoning. It’s just an unimportant outsider, and it’s not the daughter that Jiang Boyou’s family attaches great importance to. I’m afraid it’s not worth using. ”
It’s getting rid of her.
It’s just
Jiang Xuening’s heart suddenly gave birth to a little doubt. I don’t know why. Seeing him calm and answering with Wan Xiuzi, he felt that he had settled down a lot: Xie Juan, a man with deep blood feud, should not really put himself in a dangerous situation. He should have been prepared. It’s worth pondering over these few words to get rid of the relationship.
Sure enough, Jiang Xuening and Wan Xiuzi can think of it.
How can he believe this nonsense?
At that moment, he gave a cold smile and said mercilessly, “you’re in Xinzhou. You’re on the right track. You’ve come to Luoyang for an outsider who doesn’t have much use value and doesn’t matter. Do you want to make it clear? I still have some points in my mind about who you are. If you dare to come alone, you must think about how I will deal with you. You have seen with your own eyes the means of treason in the religion. ”
Xie Wei didn’t speak.
Wan Xiuzi stared at him, and his eyes showed some evil: “I saved your life, and let you die under the knife of King Pingnan. When a man speaks, a drop of water should be rewarded by a spring. Good for you! My careful cultivation over the years has brought about a disaster for myself. Revenge is Xiao Yuan’s son. It comes down in one continuous line! ”
Jiang Xuening’s heart jumped.
Xie Wei’s face had no expression. He raised his eyes and looked directly at Wan Xiuzi. He closed his hand in his sleeve and held it tightly for a moment.
However, he is not the one to be irritated.
Faced with such a fierce general, he just said: “you just want to save me. In the future, it will make the royal family and Xiao look good. In this way, I have been mediating for you in the DPRK for so many years, and I have been informing you in the church, and I have already returned it. Originally, it was a combination of interests, and the two did not owe each other. How can we get revenge for our kindness? ”
Wan Xiuzi was very angry. He clapped the armrest of the chair with one palm. He suddenly got up, pointed to his nose and scolded: “what a shame! If you work hard all these years and do your best for my education. But don’t you think I’m blind if I don’t ask about the affairs of the church? I don’t know what you do secretly? Openly for heaven, secretly for yourself! Ever since I went to the capital, the northern branches have paid more attention to my teaching? Everyone has become your running dog! In your eyes, do you still have me as the leader and adoptive father? ”
When he was young, Xie Juan was an amazing talent.
Who can talk with him?
When Wan Xiuzi came back to Jinling with his blood feud child, he never thought that he had such a great ability. Seeing him brilliant and thoughtful, he thought that heaven had a big hand to help him. He even asked him to take charge of the educational affairs and sit on an equal footing with Gong Yicheng. He wanted the other party to follow his advice. Unexpectedly, he had a big idea, which was obvious Choose not to make mistakes, but secretly ambitious, and gradually has grown into a behemoth, and even he had to weigh up three!
People who thought they could control and work for themselves become a sharp blade hanging around their neck in the blink of an eye. Who can bear this hatred?
Wan Xiuzi hated him to the utmost.
But now he lost gongyicheng first and then Xie Juan. The people of Tianjiao are not at ease, and it’s not easy for him to rebel. No matter how much he pays attention to health preservation, he will not return to the grand occasion of the past, and he will gradually feel emaciated.
In contrast, he hated Xie Wei even more.
This remark is full of anger and a kind of commanding questioning.
However, the word “adoptive father” fell into Xie Wei’s ears, which only aroused his fierce anger in his heart. He even thought of the palace full of blood and the mountain of corpses, and the deep disgust of the four limbs and bones.
Of course, he laughed.
He indifferently reminded: “the head of the sect forgot that more than 20 years ago, Xie Wei had given up his old name and removed his old surname. If he had a mother but no father, he would die if he had a father. Your adopted son, whose surname is Xiao and whose name is Dingfei, enjoys great wealth in the capital. ”
It’s not a childe’s name. Who doesn’t know and who doesn’t?
When the congregation thought of it, they all felt sad.
This time, a few Taoist children seemed to recall the style of the devil king, but they shivered and buried their heads lower.
Wan Xiuzi almost burst into his head with a mouthful of Qi and blood, and he was dizzy!
That damned Xiao Dingfei has been ignorant all these years. How many blocks he has added and how much trouble he has caused Tianjiao!
He suddenly woke up: “this son of a bitch, you deliberately picked it! Good, very good! “Xie Wei did not deny it, but said: “I have come as promised. If the head teacher wants to discuss the crime, he can do as he likes. Jiang Xuening, you’ve been closed for several days. Should you let it go now? ”
Wan Xiuzi looked at Jiang Xuening: “what’s the hurry?”
With a cold smile, he even raised his hand and motioned to daotong beside him: “come here. My Tianjiao is not a dragon’s den, so I’ll ask her to stay here for a few days and play chess with me. It’s good to relieve my tiredness!”
The Taoist children stepped forward.
Jiang Xuening was horrified. Although he knew that the bad old man was threatening Xie Juan with himself, he was thrilled to see Dao Tong coming towards him. In the end, he could not hold back his anger and scolded him.
He only gritted his teeth and said, “the old devil has something to say. After standing for a long time, he didn’t ask anyone to beat him. I don’t think he was threatened by you, but you asked him! What a big turtle! You dare to ask people to use their hands and feet. My aunt has a bad temper. One accidentally bites his tongue and kills himself. Let’s see what you use as a bargaining chip! ”
Wan Xiuzi didn’t expect to be exposed by the girl, and his face was covered with black air.
The Taoist children went up to block her mouth.
Xie Wei’s figure finally shook for a moment, but he held back and said coldly, “don’t touch her!”
These Taoist children were all waiting for WAN Xiuzi. The external believers didn’t know how to thank him, but they were clear. Hearing the voice, they almost shivered with cold. They subconsciously stopped and looked at Wan Xiuzi.
Wan Xiuzi’s brow is a pick.
He laughed with satisfaction: “heartache?”
Xie Wei did not answer, but said: “I killed Gongyi Cheng.”
He has a quiet voice.
At first glance, he thought that he was talking about something ordinary.
However, when the crowd slowed down and finally realized what he was saying, they only felt that there was a thunder in the ground, which made them dizzy and dazzled. They couldn’t believe what he said!
Wan Xiuzi was stunned, and then recalled the Tongzhou battle two years ago. He felt cold in his heart, accompanied by a fierce anger!
He’s going to explode!
Gongyi Cheng is his right arm. He is loyal to him, and even the key to restrain Xie Wei!
“How dare you
Wan Xiuzi’s voice almost came out of his teeth.
“I knew it, I knew it!”
Xie Wei didn’t seem to care about the shock caused by his words. Instead, he continued to throw thunder: “I have done my best to Tianjiao, which is obvious to all. When Gongyi Cheng came to the capital, he told me what to do and didn’t know what to do. It’s no wonder that I was cruel to him. After killing this man, from the capital to Zhili, all the branches of the sect fell into my hands. I pretended to obey the general helm, but in fact it was not my order. Now you are doing things from the south to the north. If you get the cooperation from the north, it will not be long before you step down the imperial city. But unfortunately, I expected that the head of the sect would not give up. He left a message that he would surrender to the imperial court when the war started without my command. The war is coming. Even if we have to settle the accounts, it’s not right now. I believe that Shen Lang’s means will first incorporate these followers into the army, and then settle the accounts slowly afterwards. ”
Wan Xiuzi said: “good calculation! In order to fight against me, even the imperial court and the dog emperor borrowed their strength and forgot their blood feuds. ”
But I have to be grateful to the enemy. Originally, I was going to raise a case by myself, but now I have to bow my head under the eaves. He didn’t want to threaten the headmaster, but just wanted to change the headmaster to play Jiang Xuening. Revenge is the most important thing in my heart. It doesn’t make much difference to me whether I raise my own army or to raise my own army together with the head of the sect. I would also like to ask the head of the imperial court to raise his hand and help me to teach you how to deploy troops in the nine important cities in Hubei and Anhui provinces. ”
The enemy of the enemy is the friend.
Wan Xiuzi believed Xie Wei so much in his early years because he knew Xie Juan’s life experience and how much hatred he had in his heart. Such a person, abandoned by his relatives, could not be on the court’s side in any case. In order to get revenge one day, he will try his best to do his best for Tianjiao.
Although he became bigger later, he didn’t really do anything to hinder the weakening of Tianjiao.
Even at this moment –
Wan Xiuzi has enough reason to believe that Xie Wei hates the imperial court to the bone and does everything to achieve his goal. When you can’t do things by yourself, it’s absolutely impossible for you to do so.
The main forces of Tianjiao were all in the south. Although the North developed its followers secretly because Xie Wei became an official in Korea, they were all in Xie Juan’s hands after all. Gongyicheng’s death made him lose control of the north.
Now Fang’s case seems to be overwhelming.
However, he knew that the more he went north, the more difficult it was to fight. Hubei and Anhui were even more difficult to chew. However, they were very important to Tianjiao. If he occupied these two provinces, he would occupy the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially Jiangcheng, Hubei Province, where the nine provinces were connected. It was really a piece of fat.
To say no, it’s a fake.
But if Jiang Xuening is let go, he will lose the chips to threaten Xie Juan. Although he still doesn’t know how much position this woman occupies in his heart, he can’t let go first.And
Xie Juan’s coming is not unexpected. But all this is as he expected, things are going well, and he can’t help suspecting: if he doesn’t even try, how good is the situation that the frontier army of Xinzhou will not move? Can Xie Juan really be willing to risk himself for a woman?
The house was silent.
Wan Xiuzi stares at Xie Wei and seems to be thinking about it.
Jiang Xuening didn’t expect that this man came to such a dangerous place by himself. Word by word, he even had a bit of anti Hakka posture, and even claimed that he wanted to cooperate with Tianjiao? Why doesn’t she believe it
Xie Wei also does not urge, waiting for WAN Xiuzi to consider.
After a long time, Wan Xiuzi finally caressed his hands and laughed, saying: “it’s said that the hero is sad about the beauty pass. You Xie Juan also have a time when you are angry with crown and become a beauty! pretty good. It’s just that this is a big deal. I’m still thinking about it. You’re both here. Now everything is going well. Don’t worry. But it’s not good for you to talk with me for a long time when you have a lover
Jiang Xuening rolled her eyes in her heart.
Wan Xiuzi suddenly turned into a good man. He only waved his hand to the people around him, motioned them to go out, and then said to Xie Juan, “dujun, I don’t have much trouble for you, so I wronged you to have a rest with this girl and have a chat. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow. ”
After that, he went out with a smile.
Everybody’s out, too.
Although they were asked to stay here for a night’s rest, the last Taoist went out without any mercy and locked the door. The congregation in the corridor didn’t leave either, apparently to prevent him from fleeing.
Inside, only Xie Juan and Jiang Xuening were left standing in the same place.
It was not until then that Jiang Xuening found that his back was cold. He just heard that Xie Wei and Wan Xiuzi were in a cold sweat when they came and went.
Now that people have retreated, the tension is relaxed.
If she had not been helped by the rope, she would have softened down.
Xie Wei was silent and walked towards her, reaching out to help her untie the rope.
Jiang Xuening turned her head and gazed at his cool face. For a moment, she couldn’t say what she felt. When she calmed down, a deep silence wrapped her up and made her eyes sour.
How dare this man risk his life for her
She said, “you are crazy.”
Xie Juan took his eyes, paused for a moment and said, “didn’t you know that earlier?”
The rope was so tight that a slight movement made her wrists ache.
Jiang Xuening laughed, pretending to be relaxed and said: “I should have been robbed by Tianjiao. It’s an opportunity for them to threaten you. If you don’t come, it’s useless to keep me. I’ll play some dirty tricks later. Then I’ll give the old demon some information from Beijing. I can’t say it’s a blessing in disguise. I can’t escape your control and get free? It’s good for you. You can’t let me go anywhere. ”
At the moment, they were in prison. She didn’t want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so she said this.
However, Xie Wei did not answer at all.
He untied the knot, but failed to untie it at the first time. Then at this time, I noticed that my finger, which was untiing the knot, was trembling slightly and imperceptibly.
Jiang Xuening didn’t listen to him for a long time. He thought he was angry. However, when he turned his eyes to see him, his eyes moved down, and he saw Xie Wei slowly close his hand.
It’s just that he didn’t say anything.
As usual, we will continue to untie the rope.
Jiang Xuening looked at him for a long time and said, “Xie Juan, I’m curious about something.”
Xie Wei looked at her.
Jiang Xuening coughed and bit her lip. She couldn’t hold back and wanted to smile: “I think you were good at that time. You haven’t slept for a long time. Are you still a young woman? ”
“……”
For the first time, Xie Wei didn’t respond.
However, after realizing what Jiang Xuening said, his face almost turned black quickly.
Jiang Xuening saw his expression and finally couldn’t help laughing.
She looks like she has finally exposed people’s shortcomings. She is a little reckless and arrogant. It’s hateful!
Xie Wei’s forehead was blue.
In the end, he did not hold back, thin lips tight, a direct kick to her in the past, indicating that she convergence point, honest point.
It’s not light, it’s not heavy, it doesn’t hurt.
However, Jiang Xuening didn’t want to go too far when he looked at his face of killing people. After several times of laughing, he restrained himself a lot, but his face was still teasing.
Xie Juan then lowered his head again to untie the rope for her.
Only this time, the slight tremor had disappeared.
He was suddenly stunned.
Looking at the mottled and crisscrossed marks between Jiang Xuening’s wrists, Xie Juan recalled her just extraordinary joke. At this moment, she felt her unspoken thoughtfulness.What kind of person is Xie Juan?
In a flash, I knew that she had deliberately made such a joke to interrupt and ease his mood.
But Ning Er, do you know that it’s not because of being in danger, but the aftershock of seeing you safe and sound
Xie Wei finally untied the rope that bound her.
Jiang Xuening’s hands almost felt numb and sour. He felt pain when he moved. He couldn’t help greeting the eighteen generations of Wan Xiuzi’s ancestors one by one.
But Xie Wei said in a low voice, “wait for me here.”
Jiang Xuening was stunned: “where do you want to go?”
Xie Wei didn’t answer. He looked at the closed window in the north. Then he moved his steps and looked out through the narrow gap.
Jiang Xuening was also nervous and did not dare to make a sound.
Xie Wei seems to want to open the window and do something.
However, as soon as he raised his hand, his eyes turned and frowned. He turned around and walked back to Jiang Xuening. He raised his right thumb and touched her lips. Warm finger pulp, with a little strength, seems to want to leave some traces on it.
Jiang Xuening was first surprised and then confused.
The corners of the mouth hurt a little.
“What are you doing?” she said
Soft lip, finger abdomen a press up, then move with it. It’s not as easy to leave marks as he thought with his fingers alone. What’s more, all of a sudden, the moist touch awakened the surge of his heart.
Her fingers were on her lips.
Without warning, Xie Juan buried his head in a overturned kiss. Sucking and biting, half pitying and half ferocious, he let her go after a while.
That originally cherry pink lips, then add a touch of color, and even because of his excessive, and showed a slight redness.
Jiang Xuening looked at her with wide eyes.
After a long time, she finally responded. She raised her hand and stroked her lips. She was angry, but she was afraid that the voice would be too loud. When people outside heard her, she asked in a low voice, “what’s wrong with you?”
Xie Wei pursed his lips, and his ear tips were slightly red. However, his words seemed magnanimous: “the performance is good.”
Jiang Xuening is at a loss.
Xie Wei was a little uneasy when she stared at him. He turned around and went to the window. As he walked, he asked, “Wan Xiuzi told you about my past?”
Jiang Xuening is not happy in his heart and feels that he is baffled.
So he sneered: “I’ve talked a lot. What kind of practice is not
Xie Wei’s fingers on the windowsill suddenly gave her a look back: “how can you get back to him?”
Jiang Xuening subconsciously way: “did not return.”
Xie Wei looked at her and said, “if he tries to practice again next time, you will say he has.”
Jiang Xuening:???????!
