Horse on the World

Chapter 776

Outside Taohua Xiaozhu, dozens of riders rolled towards the garden gate like a whirlwind, all of them were wearing navy blue cloaks, covering their heads and faces tightly.The watchtowers at the gate of the garden suddenly became tense, a sharp whistle sounded, and in an instant, several more powerful crossbows appeared on the watchtowers, and the flashing crossbow arrows were aimed at Laiqi, and there seemed to be no one there. At the same time, countless black-clothed agents appeared on the wall, and the first-grade bows in their hands were also nocked and stringed, and they could be fired when they let go.

A dozen riders stopped their horses at the same time, as if it had been rehearsed in advance, without any warning. After the front horse stopped suddenly, the knights behind also choked their horses at the same time. , but the hind hooves were stuck in the place like a nail. Seeing the person riding so skillfully, a school captain on the watchtower was shocked.

"Who is it? What are you doing here late at night?" He yelled sharply, "Taoyuan Xiaozhu military restricted zone, no one is allowed to enter without permission."

A knight came out more and more, the horse trotted all the way to the gate, took off the cloak, and said in a deep voice: "I am Li Wen, open the door!"

Li Wen raised his face, and the lieutenant above the sentry tower took a clear look. Isn't it the Dingzhou important minister, the commander's personal guard, General Li Wenli?

He trotted all the way down from the sentry tower, opened the gate, and gave a military salute with a bang, "Song Jingtang, the special agent of the Overwatch Council, Captain Yingyang, has seen General Li."

Li Wen nodded, "I have something important to do with Dean Qingfeng, do you know if your dean has rested at this time?"

Song Jingtang shook his head, "Responding to General Li's words, after the dean came back, he did not rest. He was talking to Mr. Ji and Mr. Mingyan at this time. I will report to the dean immediately, and ask General Li to wait a moment."

Li Wen looked back at the knight behind him, saw Li Qing shaking his head slightly among the crowd, and said: "There is no need to report back, you are still on duty here, I know where your headmaster is, I will go find her myself."

"Yes! General Li, please."

A dozen or so people rode their horses and entered Taoyuan Xiaozhu. Seeing the crowd disappearing before his eyes, Song Jingtang couldn't help thinking strangely, General Li is the lord's personal bodyguard, and the lord is getting married today, how did General Li get to Taoyuan Xiaozhu? When he came, he suddenly remembered that there was a figure among the knights that was so familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help being shocked, and almost screamed out. He covered his mouth suddenly, and looked around vigilantly. Seeing that no one noticed him, he pretended to be nonchalant and returned to the watchtower.

My goodness, the lord is getting married today, and it's the wedding night in the bridal chamber, why did he come to Taoyuan Xiaozhu? Thinking of some private rumors, he couldn't help sweating, and he decided to forget about it immediately. clean.

"How is Shang Shuhuan's injury?" Qingfeng asked.

Ming Yan said: "After such a long period of raising the young master Shang, he finally recovered, and now he can walk around in the ground, but it's a pity that the former young master Pian Pianjia is completely different now, his face is burnt like a ghost. Now How people deal with it is also a difficult problem. We are preparing to report to the lord, so let the lord make up his mind!"

Qingfeng pondered for a moment, "How is his mood?"

"Full of hatred, he witnessed the people who killed his mother and the old servant. He hated Zhifang to the bone. After he recovered, he kept clamoring for revenge and seeing the lord, but how could we let him go casually? To go out, we can only put him under house arrest first, and now this former scholar gets up every day when the cock crows, instead of reading, he pesters the guards to teach him martial arts! He won’t go to sleep until the moon reaches midday.”

"Does he know that his father has betrayed Dingzhou?" Qingfeng asked.

Ming Yan shook his head and said: "He doesn't know, the people who are monitoring his residence are members of the Flying Eagle Brigade who participated in the rescue operation and witnessed the tragedy of his family. Although Shang Haibo defected to the enemy, everyone sympathized with him. , Besides, without permission, who dares to say a word."

"If he wants to practice martial arts, he can satisfy him, and find some good masters to teach him. However, he is too old, and it is impossible for him to practice martial arts. Let's find someone to teach him assassination, concealment, poisoning and other methods. Quickly train him into a familiar spy officer. As for how to arrange him, I will think about it first and make a decision after discussing with the general." Qingfeng said.

"Yes!" Mingyan nodded and said, "The dean wants to send him to Luoyang in the future?"

"Look and talk!" Qingfeng said: "Observe him first, train him, and then reveal to him little by little the news of his father's defection to the enemy. In this way, you make arrangements, first pretend to let him know something vague But the news, let him guess and analyze it by himself, he is a scholar, very smart, he will definitely come to a conclusion, let's see his reaction, then we will talk about it!"

"Understood!" Ming Yan nodded.

"Next, let's talk about Qingzhou..." Qingfeng picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and was about to speak, but suddenly his eyes looked at the door, and suddenly he opened his eyes, and his whole body froze there.

Seeing Qingfeng's reaction, both Mingyan and Ji Sichen turned around strangely. What made Qingfeng, who has always been as calm as a mountain, lose his composure? At first glance, both of them jumped up. One should never have appeared at this time. The people there were standing at the door, looking at the breeze.

That person is Li Qing.

There was deathly silence in the room at first, Qingfeng's body trembled violently, his lips trembled, and his face became paler and paler, but Mingyan and Ji Sichen were stupid. Of course they knew that the lord came here at this time, but they left The bride of the wedding, Princess Yanran.

With a bang, the water glass in Qingfeng's hand fell to the ground and shattered. The sound of shattering awakened Ming Yan and Ji Sichen.

Li Qing waved his hand, "Don't be too polite, I didn't disturb your discussion!"

"No, no, we're done, and we're about to say goodbye!" Ji Sichen reacted a little faster, and hurriedly said, looking at Mingyan, who was still a little sluggish, stepped on her lightly with his toe, and Mingyan fully woke up.The two hurried out of the room one after the other, and seeing Li Wen not far from the door, both of them looked inquiringly at the same time, Li Wen shrugged and smiled wryly at the two of them.

Li Qing walked towards Qingfeng slowly, Qingfeng grabbed the sand towel from the case in a panic, and covered his face in a hurry, before it was completely fastened, Li Qing had already walked over, and pulled it off unreasonably The gauze scarf carefully looked at the eye-catching scar on Qingfeng's face.

"General!" Qingfeng stretched out his hand to cover the scar, but just as he raised his hand, Li Qing had already grabbed it.

"General!" Qingfeng's tears flowed down in a flash.He raised his head and looked at Li Qing.

Gently caressing the slightly raised scar with his fingers, pity flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

"General, I've become ugly!" Qingfeng said sadly.

"No, you haven't become ugly, you are the same as before, even more beautiful than before!" Reaching out to embrace Qingfeng into his arms, Li Qing gently caressed Qingfeng's slightly trembling body.

Burying her head in Li Qing's arms, and wrapping her hands around Li Qing's waist, Qingfeng closed her eyes, breathing deeply the familiar aura emanating from Li Qing.

After a long while, Qingfeng suddenly pushed with both hands, and pushed the unsuspecting Li Qing away. Qingfeng took a few steps back and looked at Li Qing: "General, you, how can you appear here at this time? You should be in front of Princess Yanran right now. There is a bridal chamber with her. Go away!"

"Why did you rush back today? Didn't you ask you to rest on Lianshan Island for a while?" Li Qing stared at her and asked.

Qingfeng turned his head and said: "General's wedding, of course I have to come back to watch the ceremony, even if I can't go to the scene, it's good to have a look from a distance."

"What's the trouble?" Li Qing sighed, "You should know that my heart is like yours, but there are some things that we can't allow ourselves to act on our emotions. We are no longer pure us, we have too many burdens on us You just have to give up."

Qingfeng murmured: "My heart is like yours." Tears welled up in his eyes, "General, when I walked out of Taohua Xiaozhu and walked into the gate of the Overwatch Council again, I knew that I would never It is impossible to appear in front of everyone as your woman in a fair manner. I, I am really unwilling. But, for the sake of your great cause, General, I can only swallow this cup of bitter wine." face, sobbing softly.

Li Qing was silent for a moment, walked over and hugged Qingfeng from behind, "It's just a pain for you."

The backyard of the Prince Regent's Mansion, the bridal chamber.

Bao'er sat there a little awkwardly, looked at Princess Yanran who was sitting on the other side of the table, and then listened to the sound of drumming outside, and said with a sigh of relief: "Ma'am, it's already the fourth watch, it seems that the big Shuai's official business will not be finished for a while, so you should rest first. You must be very tired after a busy day today."

It's okay that Bao'er didn't speak, but when she spoke, Princess Yanran burst into tears again, looking at the other party whose tears fell like broken beads, Bao'er suddenly panicked, and quickly took a handkerchief and passed it over, "Ma'am, ma'am, Did I say the wrong thing? Why are you crying?"

Princess Yanran ignored Bao'er, and cried for a while, then calmed down, looked at Bao'er, and said, "Sister Bao'er, did the commander go to Dean Qingfeng's?"

"No, no, the commander-in-chief is dealing with official business. I heard that it is an urgent matter in the north."

Seeing beads of sweat on Bao'er's forehead, Yan Ran shook her head and said, "Sister Bao'er, you've never told a lie, you're nervous, but as soon as you came over, I knew that the prince must have gone there. It was the prince who asked you to accompany me!"

Bao'er shook her head again and again, "I, I'm not nervous, I often tell lies, I often lied to my parents when I was a child, I..." Suddenly I was tongue-tied and couldn't continue. Seeing Bao'er's embarrassment, it was so sweet Now I am sad, and I laugh through tears.

"Sister Bao'er is really interesting, sister Bao'er, have a drink with me!" He reached out and lifted the jug from the table, and filled the two glasses with wine.

Bao'er picked up the wine glass with some embarrassment, "Ma'am, don't call me sister, you are the wife, and you are the main wife of the handsome, how dare I call you sister, just call me Bao'er."

Yan Ran smiled and said: "Sister Bao'er is older than me and has been with the commander-in-chief for longer than me. Of course I have to call you sister, and you are so kind to me." She tilted her neck and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

"Slow down, slow down, this wine is very strong, it's not an ordinary sweet wine!" Bao'er said hastily.

"This wine is so bitter!" Yan Ran's eyes stared a little, and she murmured, "It's so bitter, so bitter!" Following the murmur, she also slipped under the stool.

"Ah, why is it poured in a glass?" Bao'er quickly stood up, hugged Yanran, and helped her walk to the bed.
