My Princess Has Been Reborn - Chapter 86
The night in Hequ County was quite quiet. It was not the silence of a curfew that was forcibly set, but the quietness of the whole county without the hustle and bustle of singing and dancing.
Lu Qipei and Qi Bo were walking on the street, not as rushing as they were when they came, but they were not rushing on the way back.
There is a cool night breeze in early summer on the face. When you look up, you can see a few bright stars on the horizon. Everything is an indication of the sunny and good weather on the next day, and it also makes people feel unconscious.
The two had walked quietly in this night for a long time, and they could already see the outline of the county government from a distance.
Qi Bo finally couldn’t help but ask: “The young master met with everyone today, what is the meaning of what he said?”
Lu Qipei relaxed his shoulders and looked up at the starry sky above. He didn’t lower his head when he heard the words: “Qi Bo till now, don’t you understand?”
Hearing this, Qi Bo was silent, and his original footsteps slowly stopped, watching Lu Qipei’s eyes become deeper and deeper. However, Lu Qipei seemed confident, and when she noticed that Qi Bo stopped, she finally stopped and looked back.
In the night, the two looked at each other, only a bright moon in the sky shed cold moonlight, making it difficult to see the look hidden in the darkness for a while.
After a long time, Qi Bo finally spoke again, with a bit of astringency in his voice: “Does the young master know what he is doing?”
Lu Qipei narrowed his eyes and said in a flat tone: “Naturally know.”
When the voice fell, she felt her throat tighten, and an old and thin hand was pinched between her slender neck. Qi Bo’s movements are very swift and violent. Although his hands are old, they are not weak. It seems that he can break the slender neck in the next instant.
Lu Qipei was not in a panic. She opened her eyes and still stared at Qi Bo to see the resentment in his eyes.
As time passed, the old hand never tightened. Finally, as Qi Bo’s eyes gradually dimmed, he slowly and slowly let go: “The young master knows that your choice like this is betrayal!”
The neck was loosened, but there was still some slight discomfort in the throat, Lu Qipei wanted to cough but endured it. She stood with her hand in her hand, still so calm: “What have I betrayed? Is it a family feud? Or ambition?”
Qi Bo looked at her, the turbulent mood gradually calmed down, and asked in a dumb voice: “What do you think the young master?”
Lu Qipei chuckles suddenly upon hearing this: “Look, you still call me the Young Master. Since I am the Young Master, there will naturally be a Master on it. The Young Master who can choose to betray is still recognized by you, which is enough to prove that The so-called master is not that important either.”
Qi Bo stopped talking, as if tacitly acquiescing in something, but stubbornly wanted to wait for a comment.
Lu Qipei didn’t sell the door. She pointed to the surrounding houses, “Bo Qi, is there anything wrong with this peaceful and prosperous age?” She said, and pointed back and forth between the two of them: “Or, you and me. What is wrong with your current life? What is urging you to destroy all of this? Is it hatred? But things in the world are the winners and losers. Since you have chosen to fight, what is there to resent?”
Qi Bo obviously couldn’t be touched by her rhetoric. There are millions of truths in the world, and there are more people than Lu Qipei who can speak the truth, but those great truths are all irrelevant rhetoric. Only when the knife falls on him will he feel pain.
Looking at his indifferent appearance, Lu Qipei knew that Qi Bo could not change his attitude just because of his few words. So her conversation suddenly changed: “No matter what Qi Bo thinks about you, or what you think, it’s always this meaningless fight. I don’t want to participate in it.”
Qi Bo said with a sneer: “You have seen these talents showdown with me, but you just want to take them out!”
Lu Qipei didn’t deny it, she nodded calmly: “Then Qi Bo, are you going to kill me?”
As soon as he said this, the air seemed to stagnate again, and even the cool night breeze seemed to add three minutes of chill.
Lu Qipei hid his hand behind him, clenched his fist and released it, but he was not as nervous as he thought. After all, Qi Bo had chosen to give up under his anger before, but it didn’t make sense to attack him again because of his few words.
Sure enough, Qi Bo didn’t move. He looked at Lu Qipei, his brows tightened.
Lu Qipei gradually lost interest in talking, turned around and walked in the direction of the county government. After only two steps, I heard Qi Bo say behind him: “The young master has read sage books since he was a child and likes to reason with me. Then I will ask the young master, as a child, it is unfilial to disobey your parents. Young master, you For a…woman, can you feel at ease by doing this?”
Hearing this, Lu Qipei couldn’t help but chuckle, without turning his head back: “My mother has passed away a long time ago. As for him, he didn’t give birth to me, didn’t support me, what do I care about him?!” That life was paid off in the last life.
The voice fell in the night breeze, and the people had already entered the county government, leaving the old man alone for half the night.
One night the stars were in the sky, and the next day was indeed a good weather.
The small town of Hequ County is really nothing worthy of nostalgia. In addition, Lu Qipei had been out for many days and missed Qi Yang deeply. After all, he resigned the kindness of the county magistrate of Hequ, and took two officials from Dali Temple early in the morning. Embarked on the road back to Beijing.
In the early summer, the coldness of spring is only retreating, and the sun shines on the body warmly. This kind of weather is actually much better than other seasons, and the Hequ is not too far from the capital. If Lu Qipei hadn’t walked in a hurry on the road, this trip would have been for the two small officials. It is a good expatriate experience.
Although Hequ is not far away, it takes three or four days to reach the capital. The weather was good for the first two days, and it was convenient for Lu Qipei and others to go on the road. However, on the third day, the weather suddenly changed and a heavy rain disrupted the trip.
Lu Qipei sat in front of the post house window a little depressed, watching the heavy rain outside, sighing sadly-she had calculated the time, just let the carriage go faster, it might not be enough to get to the capital before the city gate closed, but Tonight is enough to rush to Huguo Temple.
Counting the days, Qi Yang’s fast at Huguo Temple is coming to an end. I said before that I would go to see her two days later, but I didn’t even see her once after the delay. Her Royal Highness would occasionally be careful, and promised her to completely miss the appointment. I was afraid that he would have a temper after returning. Lu Qipei didn’t want to face the cold face of the Princess!
Thinking about this, Lu Qipei frowned at the heavy rain outside the window. The two small officials who accompanied by the side didn’t think the heavy rain was getting in the way. In fact, they were a bit anxious on the way these past two days. They were feeling tired. It would be good to have a rest when the road is blocked by the rain.
A small official handed a cup of tea to Lu Qipei, and persuaded him: “You don’t need to worry, the rain in this summer is coming and going fast. It’s going to be heavy now, I’m not sure. It stopped after two hours.”
When Lu Qipei heard the words, he nodded, and dealt with the little official, then turned his head and still stared at the heavy rain outside.
There is nothing wrong with what the little official said. There is a lot of rain in spring and summer, but the heavy rain is often not long. Lu Qipei simply sat in front of the window and waited for the rain to stop. The result was one day after waiting. The rain was lighter, but it continued without stopping.
In the evening, it was impossible to make a trip and had no choice but to stay in the post house.
Lu Qipei waited all day and was a little impetuous. When the guest room was allocated in the evening, she took the Yi Cheng and asked, “This rain is endless today. According to Yi Cheng, may the rain stop tomorrow?”
Yi Cheng is not young, and he has been here for decades, so he knows the weather well. He heard the probe and looked out at the sky, and said: “The rain at this season is hard to say, even the next two or three days. I heard that the adults are going to return to Beijing to return to life. If you are not in a hurry, you will live in this post. Two days are okay. If you are in a hurry, I’m afraid you will have to ride in the rain.”
But that’s how it is said. According to Yi Cheng’s observation, official affairs should not be in a hurry. Didn’t you see the two small officials being at ease? Only the chief official seemed a little anxious. It seemed that it was mostly for personal matters.
Yi Cheng has seen all kinds of people, but his eyes are vicious. Lu Qipei didn’t say anything after listening, only he had made a silent decision in his heart.
After a good night’s sleep, I woke up the next morning without opening my eyes, and I heard the sound of rain outside the window.
Lu Qipei got up and opened the window. Sure enough, he saw the light rain outside, and a lot of rain had accumulated in the courtyard overnight. Looking at it like this, if the carriage wants to go on the road, it is not even a simple rain stop. At least remember to wait for the first half day to do some work before leaving.
Homecoming was like an arrow. I didn’t have the patience and kept waiting. I was afraid that Qi Yang would go back to Beijing after waiting. Lu Qipei closed the window and turned around and changed into a riding attire that was easy to move. Then he put on his clothes after breakfast and wanted to go on horseback.
The two little officials were a little apprehensive when they saw this. They were about to say something and they were interrupted by Lu Qipei’s hand: “I am in a hurry to return to Beijing because it is a personal matter. There is rain blocking the road. Righteousness. You don’t need to worry at the Dali Temple, wait for the rain to stop and then bring the files back. No one will blame it.”
After saying this, leaving everyone behind, Lu Qipei left in the rain with only an attendant.
This post house is actually not far from the capital, and it takes only half a day to ride a horse-drawn carriage, and riding a horse will only be faster. Even if it is rainy, Lu Qipei, who left early in the morning, rushed to Huguo Temple in the afternoon.
After asking the monks in the temple, Lu Qipei was relieved to learn that Princess Qiyang had not yet returned to Beijing.
Qi Yang fasted and lived in the backyard of Huguo Temple. Lu Qipei was not the first time he came back to Huguo Temple. He did not need someone to lead the way, so he searched for the past. During the period, I naturally met many guards and servants, but no one dared to stop when they saw that the horse was coming.
Lu Qipei went unimpeded all the way, and when he walked outside Qi Yang’s residence, he had already taken off all the clothes and hats on his body. She handed it over to the maid who was guarding outside the Qiyang Gate, and then took care of the slightly damp robe on her body, and asked: “His Royal Highness is okay recently?”
The maid leaned over and replied: “Return to the horse, your Highness is all well, now I am taking a nap.”
Lu Qipei actually wanted to ask himself if he was late in the future, was your Highness angry? But thinking about it, I was embarrassed to ask the maid, so he just nodded and said, “Then I will go in and take a look.”
The princess and her husband are loving, since no one stopped her, Lu Qipei carefully opened the door and walked in.
I saw the house collapsed, one big and one small cuddling each other, sleeping soundly with the sound of rain.
