Chapter 23
There was an unconcealable anxious look on Shunping, and he asked anxiously: "Master Daoist, how is my eldest son?"

Chaoyang rolled his eyes, and replied: "What else can I do? What else can I do if your Daoist takes action?"

Shunping is used to observing words and expressions. Seeing him like this, he knew that Feng Junyang was fine. He couldn't help but smile, and thanked Chaoyangzi repeatedly: "Thank you, Daoist, thank you, Daoist. His medical skills are superb, and he saved my family." For the life of the son, the younger one must set up a longevity tablet for the Taoist priest, and burn incense and kowtow every day."

Satisfied by his flattery, Chao Yangzi glanced at him and said, "You are better at life than your master. I have put in so much effort to save his life, but I didn't even get a thank you from him."

Old Qiao kept saying "OK" when he heard that Feng Junyang was fine, and Zheng Lun was even more relieved. Only Lu Xiao still remembered that there was still another Chen year in the house, so he pushed Shun who was in front of him. Ping Pa pulled away, and asked Chao Yangzi, "How is Xie Chennian? Why can't I hear her?"

Chaoyangzi still remembered the grudge against Lu Xiao, rolled his eyes when he heard this, and replied, "Who are you? You dare to shout in front of the Daoist. You barbarian, I can't talk to you!"

Lu Xiao was about to get angry when he stared, Shun Ping hurriedly gave Zheng Lun a wink to let him take the opportunity to catch Chao Yangzi and the others, and then he quickly went to the quiet room to see Feng Junyang's situation.As soon as he entered the door, Shunping was stopped by Feng Junyang in a low voice. He raised his eyes and found that Chen Nian was also in the tub. He lowered his head in fright, not daring to take a second look.

Feng Junyang first asked Shunping to call the maid to help Chennian out of the tub, helped her change into dry clothes, watched her fall asleep on the soft couch, and then called Shunping to come in to serve him.When he was helped out of the quiet room by Shunping, he saw that the courtyard was full of excitement.Chaoyangzi and Lu Xiao started fighting again, but Qiao Lao and Zheng Lun blocked them. They couldn't hit each other with their fists and kicks, so they started to fight again.

Chaoyangzi spoke harsh words, cursed people without swearing, and Lu Xiao had studied the Chinese idioms for more than a month. They couldn't hit the opponent, but they fought fiercely.

A tumultuous but vigorous vitality came oncoming, Feng Junyang unexpectedly showed a smile on his face, and after looking at it quietly for a while, he pushed Shunping away and stepped forward, and said lightly: "Let them go!" .”

His voice was not loud, but those people were all taken aback, and they all stopped without realizing it. Old Qiao and Zheng Lun turned their heads to look at Feng Junyang, seeing his calm eyes, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, After hesitating for a moment, he released both Chaoyangzi and Lu Xiao.Feng Junyang smiled calmly, and ordered Shunping to say: "Set up a platform for the Taoist priest and Lu Xiao, and ask them to go up and let go of the hand beating, and also ask the hidden guards outside the courtyard to come in and have a look, then you can learn three tricks." It is also a great advantage to have two styles.”

When he said this, it was difficult for Chaoyangzi and Lu Xiao to do anything again.Chaoyangzi snorted coldly, flicked the hem of his robe, and said disdainfully, "Master Dao, I don't have the same knowledge as you."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Lu Xiao didn't care about him, but walked up to Feng Junyang, stared at him and asked, "Where is Xie Chennian? What are you doing? Why did she say those weird things before?" If it is? It seems that she is about to die, and she also asked me to send a message to her adoptive father."

Feng Junyang was slightly taken aback, only now did he realize that Chen Nian went out to find Lu Xiao to explain his last words, and when he entered the house again, he was ready to die with him.There was a lump in his throat, and it took him a while to answer Lu Xiao: "She's fine, but she was too tired and just fell asleep. When she wakes up, I'll send someone over to call you."

Lu Xiao refused to believe his words, and went into the room to take a look at Chen Nian, seeing that although her face was pale and colorless, her breath was steady, so she felt relieved and went back to her residence.

Chen Nian had been sleeping deeply, Feng Junyang did not allow anyone to move her, and he stayed by the couch and refused to leave.Shunping hurriedly asked someone to remove the stove, bathtub and other sundries in the house, and brought Feng Junyang another soft couch together with the one that Chen Nian slept on, so that Feng Junyang could also have a place rest.

In the middle of the night, Chen Nian woke up from his lethargy, opened his eyes and saw some strange things around him, couldn't help but feel a little confused for a while, and asked Feng Jun Yang beside him, "Where is this?"

Feng Junyang stretched out his arms and took her into his arms, and said softly, "It's by my side, go to sleep, it's okay."

Chen Nian burrowed into his arms, found a comfortable position and fell asleep peacefully.She slept until the sun was up, and she heard Chaoyangzi's voice shouting in a daze: "Get up, wake up that little girl, it's not too late to force the poison."

Opening his eyes, he saw that there was an extra screen in the room. Chao Yangzi's voice came from behind the screen: "Quickly wake up the little girl. If you feel sorry for her, you will hurt her instead. Tell her to get up and eat something." Things, hurry up and use your kung fu outside to force the poison. July 49 is [-] days, and the poison will not be completely eliminated if one day is missing."

On the other side of the screen, Feng Junyang was already extremely bored with Chaoyangzi, but because he still wanted something from him, he could only suppress the killing intent in his heart, and said lightly, "Wait a moment, Taoist priest, I will go and wake her up."

Chen Nian hurriedly sat up when he heard the sound, and said to the outside: "No need to come here, I'm up."

Feng Junyang still walked around the screen, stepped forward to help Chen Nian tidy up his clothes, and said, "Don't worry, it's still early, eat something before going out."

Soon, a maid came in with water to help Chen Nian wash up. Chen Nian took care of himself neatly, and was watched by Feng Junyang after eating. Seeing that the sun was on top of his head outside, he was afraid that he might miss the time to force the poison. Hurriedly out of the house.Unexpectedly, Chaoyangzi was still waiting under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, and when she saw her coming out, he pointed to a patch of sun in the courtyard and said to her: "Just there, hurry up, I will tell you the method of luck."

A maid came with a blanket and a futon, and was chased away by Chaoyangzi before they could put it on the ground: "Take it away, take it away, what you want is to attract yang energy from the top and ground qi to the bottom. What are you doing with such a thick blanket?"

Chen Nian sat cross-legged on the ground, according to Chaoyangzi's method, he first adjusted his breath and gathered the true energy in the dantian, and then drove the true energy to travel through the meridians in the order he said.The method of luck is not difficult to remember, and forcing poison is not as uncomfortable as yesterday's poisoning, but now it is summer, and the sun is the most venomous time of the day, Chen Nian only sat in the sun for a while, He was so sunburned that his head and face ached, and the clothes on his back were drenched with sweat.

Feng Junyang was flipping through the secret reports sent from various places in the house, and looked up at Chen Nian in the courtyard from time to time, and couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.Shunping saw it from the side, he hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master, the weather is getting hotter, do you want someone to build a pergola in the courtyard?"

Feng Junyang was silent for a moment, then regained his focus and put his eyes on the letter in his hand again, and said, "No, that's it."

Under the shade of the trees in the yard, Chaoyangzi sat on a wicker chair drinking the tea served by the maid, looking very leisurely. He didn't stand up slowly until the sun above his head began to turn westward, and walked around until the morning sun with his hands behind his back. Behind Nian's back, he suddenly slapped her on the back of the vest, and softly shouted: "Okay!"

He grasped his palm very well, the Chennian meridian was not damaged at all, he only spit out a mouthful of black blood, and the suffocation in his chest was relieved a lot.Chaoyangzi said unhurriedly from the side: "Let's do it like this today, come out on time tomorrow, don't let anyone rush you." After speaking, he walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.

Feng Junyang had already come out of the house, helped Chen Nian up from the ground, and asked with concern: "How?"

Chen Nian's face was flushed by the sun, and her head was a little dizzy. She didn't want Feng Junyang to worry about herself, so she smiled at him and said, "Don't say it, although this old Taoist is annoying , but it’s really something.”

Feng Junyang looked at her silently for a long time, then suddenly said in a low voice: "Just bear with it for a while, wait..."

"I know." Chen Nian interrupted him, looked up at him, "I don't need you to tell me, but right now it's just suffering, I can bear it."

The two of them are not stupid, they saw that Chaoyangzi's way of coercing poison is too strange, it seems that they are deliberately making Chen Nian suffer, but at this moment they have to listen to Chaoyangzi's words, and they dare not argue with him again. Therefore, there is only one word "forbearance" at the moment.

Chen Nian saw that Feng Junyang's brows were tightly furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Ah Ce, you should move back to live. With you here, many outsiders will inevitably come and go. Why don't I live alone? Here, it’s easier to heal if you’re quieter. In a few days, Mr. Qiao will repair your meridians, and I didn’t expect that there would be a patient outside the room and a patient inside the room, and we would look at each other pitifully through the window.”

Even though she said that, Feng Junyang understood that she didn't want to see her suffering, he smiled faintly, and replied: "Okay, it happens that I have a lot of work there, so it's very inconvenient for you. "

Sure enough, he moved back to his original residence in the evening and gave up this quiet courtyard to Chen Nian to live alone.A lot of hidden guards were arranged outside the small courtyard to protect, but only two maids were left in the courtyard to take care of Chen Nian, both of whom were already acquainted with Chen Nian.One of the maids saw that Chen Nian's face was red and swollen, so she said, "Miss Cousin seems to have some ointment for sunburn, why don't you go and get some for the girl?"

Chen Nian felt that it was not good to beg for things from people like this, so he waved his hands indifferently and said, "No, I'm not so delicate, just apply it with cold water and it will be fine."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Junyang asked someone to deliver a few bottles of high-quality ointment. The maid took the ointment, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's the slaves who worry about it. The young lady is worried about it by the prince. .”

Chen Nian was a little embarrassed by what they said, so he lifted the bottle cap and smelled the smell of the ointment, then changed the subject and asked, "Do I need to apply these things?"

When she was in the cottage before, she used to come out and run wildly under the poisonous sun, but she had never used these things, and she felt that there was no need to use these things in her heart.She's not Xiaoliu, she can't stand the sun, no matter how hot the weather is in summer, she must cover her head and face tightly when going out, and walk close to the wall, like a thief.

When the two maids heard the words, they all said with certainty: "Of course it will be used."

The two of them rushed to fetch water to cleanse Chen Nian's face again, and carefully applied the ointment on her reddened areas, covering her face and neck, leaving only her eyes, ears, mouth and nose exposed.Although Chen Nian was not used to it, he also felt that the ointment on his skin felt cool and refreshing, not as itchy as before, so he let them play tricks on him.

In the evening, Lu Xiao came to see Chen Nian. He was taken aback when he saw her for the first time. He pointed to her face and asked in surprise, "What are you doing? Why are you putting medicine on your face? It's swollen from being beaten?"

Chen Nian's face was covered with a thick layer of plaster by the maid, and it was very inconvenient to speak. Hearing this, he just gave him an annoyed look, and cursed back vaguely: "Your face is swollen from beating!"

Lu Xiao didn't hear it very clearly, so he looked closely at Chen Nian's face, and saw that although her face was covered with ointment, her skin was smooth and even, not bruised.Seeing his curious face, Chen Nian was afraid that he would reach out to poke his face again, so he quickly leaned back in fright, looked at him warily, and quickly explained: "This is the ointment for sunburn, nothing else. !"

She said these words very clearly, but Lu Xiao could hear them clearly, and thought that this summer girl really behaved strangely, and she was not afraid of trouble when she wiped the medicine on her face after only being exposed to the sun for a while.

Chen Nian asked him again: "What's the matter with you here?"

Only then did Lu Xiao remember his reason for coming, and he sat back and said, "I'm here because of what happened to you yesterday. I admire you for ignoring your own life and death for your lover, but if there is a next time, you have to tell me in advance. Me, it’s better to write something for me as a proof. I was entrusted by your adoptive father to protect you, if you die suddenly, I have to explain to him no matter what. "

Although Chen Nian heard his words not pleasing to his ears, he had to admit that what he said was reasonable, and said: "This time I was wrong, I will correct it next time."

Lu Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then involuntarily showed off what he had just learned, and said, "It's really a child who can be taught, knowing the mistakes can make a big difference!"

Now Chen Nian couldn't help but get a headache when he heard him dragging his words, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Hurry up and talk!"

Lu Xiao was a little proud, and said, "You don't understand either? Let me tell you, Shunping specially invited an old gentleman here. His knowledge is much better than that of the servant before him. Eight out of ten sentences he said I don't even understand."

It turns out that Lu Xiao lives in this mansion without incident, and has been learning to speak Chinese with the servants around him. Since Li Shunping saw his scolding battle with Chaoyangzi yesterday, he deeply felt that this person is a talented person, so he immediately So he was replaced by an old gentleman, who specially explained the broad and profound Sinology, which not only pleases Lu Xiao, but also occupies his time, so as not to cause trouble.

Chen Nian couldn't help stroking his forehead, and secretly said that Shunping is indeed a talent.The old man is much better than the young man. Lu Xiao didn't even go to the koi pond today. He learned idioms and allusions from the old man for a whole day, and he was just looking for a place to pour himself out.Seeing his eagerness to try, Chen Nian was so frightened that he quickly stopped him before he could speak: "Stop!" She didn't have much knowledge in her stomach, but her brain was flexible. After thinking about it, she said, "Lu Xiao, you learn Those things are useless, shall I teach you a useful one?"

Lu Xiao was really fooled and asked, "What's useful?"

Chen Nian coaxed him: "Do you know why you can't speak Chinese well? That's because your tongue can't bend. I have a formula here. If you go back and learn it by heart, you can speak Chinese well."

"What formula?" Lu Xiao asked again.

Chen Nian didn't care about the ointment smeared on his face for a while, cleared his throat, and read quickly: "The Cowherd loves Liu Niang, Liu Niang misses the Cowherd, the Cowherd loves Liu Niang in the Year of the Ox, Liu Niang misses the Niang every year." Lang, Lang Lianniang, come to Niang Nianlang, Nianniang Lianniang, Nianlang Lianlang, Nianlianniang Lang, if you don’t get dizzy, you count me in vain!”

She was eloquent and her voice was crisp, and she finished reciting a tongue twister, very crisply, and then asked Lu Xiao, "Do you hear clearly? Try reading it."

Lu Xiao was already dumbfounded, he opened his mouth and tried to read it again, but his tongue tied up before finishing the first sentence.Chen Nian said seriously: "I'll write it down for you, and you can ask the old gentleman to teach you to read it when you go back. As long as you are familiar with this, you don't need to learn anything."

The maid had been dismissed by Chen Nian long ago, so she took a pen and ink herself, wrote down the tongue twister and handed it to Lu Xiao, and solemnly instructed: "Read it carefully when you go back! You have learned Chinese these days, and you should I know that we Xia people have a saying, that is, hard work pays off, as long as you put in the hard work, there is nothing you can't learn!"

Lu Xiao really went out with the piece of paper in his hands. When he went out, Chen Nian couldn't help laughing and fell down on the desk, but forgot the ointment on his face, and rubbed it everywhere, so he had to Then she called the maid to come in and help her clean up.

In the next few days, Lu Xiao really didn't bother her again.However, the days of Chen Nian were not easy.Chaoyangzi came every day, watching her go to the sun field at [-]:[-] noon to practice kung fu to force poison, while he sat under the shade of a tree and taught her how to do it.This exercise method is different every time, and the order in which the true qi travels through the meridians is also completely different, and she sits like this until the sun is westward, and then Chaoyangzi will step forward and pat a certain acupuncture point on her back. With one palm, she was forced to vomit some poisonous blood, and the day's healing was complete.

Qingzhou is located in the north of the Yangtze River. The climate is hot and dry in summer, and the sun is very harsh. Just like this for an hour every day, the skin of Chennian is red and itchy at first, and then it starts to shed. But it is getting deeper day by day.Even though she often followed Ye Xiaoqi around in the past, Chen Nian's complexion has always been extremely fair. Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but thumped the table angrily, then turned around and asked Feng Junyang, "You said that black old man Is it intentional to make me as dark as him? Otherwise, why do I have to sit facing the sun?"

Feng Junyang knew that girls of her age loved beauty the most, so he smiled and said, "Where is it dark? This mirror is darker. I will ask someone to find a good mirror later."

He opened his eyes and talked nonsense like this, but there was someone who kept his eyes closed.Yunsheng was imprisoned by Feng Junyang for many days, and as soon as he was released, he ran to look for him, and happened to meet Chen Nian, Yunsheng didn't recognize who it was at first glance, and then took another look It was only when she recognized her that she couldn't help being startled, and shouted: "Oh! Thank you, sister, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so dark that it's like the bottom of a pot?"

Chen Nian's face froze suddenly, Yun Sheng looked at her like this, suddenly felt that he had misspoken, and quickly added: "It's not that dark, like the bottom of a copper pot, not like the bottom of an iron pot!"

It's better not to say these words, Chen Nian's pretty face couldn't help but darken, he turned his head and gave Feng Junyang a hateful look, then turned around and slammed the door out of the room.Yun Sheng hurriedly asked Feng Junyang cautiously: "Cousin, is sister Xie angry with me?"

Feng Junyang was also helpless towards Yunsheng, looked at her and asked, "What do you think?"

Yun Sheng pouted slightly, and said, "Then I'll go and apologize to her later, I didn't mean it, she's really cheated a lot! You don't allow me to leave the yard these days, how would I know you guys What's going on." When she finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel a little wronged in her words, "If I knew you were going to lock me up like this, I wouldn't have come to Qingzhou to look for you!"

Feng Junyang sighed unconsciously, and said: "Yunsheng, the situation in Qingzhou is not stable right now, and there are many crises everywhere. In the past half a month, several groups of assassins have come. I was busy a few days ago, and I’ve been healing my wounds, so I really can’t take care of you. For your safety, I have to ask someone to seal off your yard first.”

Yunsheng has heard about the assassins. Just two days ago, an assassin broke into her yard by mistake and killed several maids around her. If Zheng Lun hadn't led people to arrive in time, she might have been killed too. The assassin was wounded.When Feng Junyang mentioned this matter, Yunsheng had nothing to say. He pouted and said, "It's boring for me to be bored in the yard by myself, like being in prison. The weather outside is so good. If I were in Taixing, it would be a good place to go boating on the river." when."

Feng Junyang smiled and said: "Then who told you to come to Qingzhou? There is no river here for you to play. However, your twelfth brother is coming soon. When he comes, you can ask him to accompany you. Let me go hunting in the mountains."

Yun Sheng was naturally happy when he heard this, and asked a few more questions about when He Ze would come, and whether he would bring Xian'er with him, until Shun Ping came in from the outside, standing there with his hands down, as if he had something to report to Feng Junyang. Reluctantly left.

Shunping saw that Yun had come out of the yard, so he took out a sealed letter from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Feng Junyang with both hands, and said: "My lord, the princess of Shengdu has replied."

The eldest princess of Shengdu is Feng Junyang's eldest sister who married into the royal family, and the imperial concubine of the current emperor.This noble concubine was born noble, and was very favored in the palace, even the empress gave her three points of courtesy.It is a matter of supreme honor to put this in someone else's home, but Shunping knows that Feng Junyang doesn't like people mentioning the word "noble concubine" in front of him, so he always just follows the old habit and still calls Feng Guifei "Great Princess".

Feng Junyang didn't realize that he got a reply so soon, he was a little surprised, opened the letter to read, and his face slowly sank.After Chaoyangzi healed him, he sent a letter to the eldest sister in Shengdu, briefly talking about the situation in Qingzhou and Jizhou, and said that he was injured by an assassin, but fortunately a girl rescued him .It was a kind, brave, intelligent and resolute girl, and he admired her very much in his heart, and wanted to take her to Shengdu to show his elder sister a look.

Feng Junyang has a very good relationship with his eldest sister, so he wrote a letter asking for help. He hoped to get her support first, and give Chennian a fake identity that can match the Yunxi royal family.Although he didn't express his words thoroughly in the letter, his meaning was already expressed very clearly. He likes Chen Nian and wants to marry her.

Concubine Feng Gui replied clearly: If she really likes her, she can accept her as a concubine, but the main wife is not married, so don't make too much publicity, let alone have children first.

It is impossible for someone as smart as Concubine Feng to fail to see through Feng Junyang's hints. There is only one reason for her answer, that is, she disapproves of Feng Junyang marrying a groundless civilian girl as his wife.In the letter, Concubine Feng taught him to put the family and the country first, never indulge in female sex, and never disregard the parents of the family and the country because of the children's personal affairs.

Although there was not a word of scolding, the words were already very serious.

Feng Junyang received the letter, his face was very gloomy, and he burned the letter silently, raised his eyes and asked Shunping, "How is He Ze?"

Shunping knew that there must be something written in the letter that made Feng Junyang feel so unhappy, so he answered cautiously: "I left Jizhou early yesterday morning, and I will arrive in a few days. I heard that they brought Xue's family with them. girls go together."

Feng Junyang nodded slightly.

Shunping thought for a while and said, "Qiu San is back."

"Where are people?" Feng Junyang asked.

Shunping replied: "I met Miss Xie outside the courtyard, and accidentally said a wrong sentence, which made Miss Xie unhappy, so Miss Xie took her away."

Feng Junyang raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked, "What did he say?"

Shunping suppressed a smile and explained: "Actually, he didn't say anything, but when he saw Miss Xie, he accidentally said 'eh', and Miss Xie asked him why, and he said that he looked at Miss Xie more and more beautiful. Outstanding, but who would have offended Miss Xie."

Feng Junyang couldn't help laughing. Qiu San's "huh" must have been surprised by Chen Nian's complexion. When Chen Nian asked him why, if he answered honestly, he might be fine, but he pretended to be smart to flatter Chen Nian. In the end, it made Chen Nian even more angry.Just thinking about the situation at that time, Feng Junyang's dull thoughts dissipated a lot, got up and said to Shunping: "Come on, let's go and have a look."

Seeing that his mood improved, Shunping hurriedly followed behind and walked out together. He didn't want Feng Junyang to stop before he left the room, and said, "Forget it, I won't go, let's go there after dinner."

Shunping didn't know why Feng Junyang suddenly changed his mind, and he didn't dare to ask. Seeing that he had no other orders, he stepped back quietly to wait outside the door.

Feng Junyang turned around and sat down behind the desk again, picked up the book and flipped through it, seemingly concentrating, but his mind had already turned elsewhere.Chen Nian is not a stingy person, even if he loves beauty, he will never get really angry because of someone's unintentional words, she took Qiu San away like this, there can only be another reason.And what is the reason, he already understood after a little thought, so he can't look for her now.Since she has questions, he will give her time to ask.

Feng Junyang guessed well, Chen Nian took Qiu San away not because he said something wrong, but because he wanted to ask him something.However, she didn't mean to avoid Feng Junyang deliberately, she just felt that it would be inconvenient for Yunsheng to be there, so she simply took Qiu San back to her residence by being angry.

Because of Feng Junyang's confession before, Qiu San didn't hide anything from Chen Nian, and told about the events after the breakup at Zhaobi Mountain that day: "That day, the young man rushed back to Qingfengzhai to report the letter, but he didn't report it later. Two days later, the son of the world asked someone to find the young one secretly, and ordered the young one to go to General Xue to obey orders, and the young one left the stockade to go to General Xue, and later came to Qingzhou with him. He is familiar with the city, so General Xue ordered the younger one to help him with the military affairs in the city. A while ago, the city was busy with affairs, and I couldn’t find time to come and see you and the eldest son. Today, the younger one came to rest in turn, and the younger one hurried over.”

Qiu San was wearing a military uniform. Although he was still as slender as before, he looked a lot more heroic.Although Chen Nian is not very familiar with the official positions in the army, he can also see that he is not dressed like an ordinary soldier.She hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking Qiu Sandao: "Do you know how Qingfeng Village is doing now?"

"The little one has been staying in Qingzhou City recently, and has not heard any news about the village. But..." Qiu San paused before continuing, "When Li Chong led the army to break through the stronghold that day, the little one happened to Serving at General Xue's side, I heard a few military reports saying that many people in the village were killed and injured, the third leader died in battle, and the first and second leaders fled into the mountains with the remaining hundreds of people."

Naturally, the military newspaper would not say this, and the words above were much crueler.On the day when Qingfengzhai was breached, half of the bandits in the village were killed or injured. Liu Zhongyi was beheaded on the spot. Bandit leaders Zhang Kuisu and Wen Fengming fled into the mountains with the remaining gang. Kill them all, leaving no one behind.

Chen Nian felt sad, compared with Qiu San who only lived in Qingfeng Village for more than a month, she had a much deeper affection for the village. Although she had been psychologically prepared for a long time, she really heard that the village fell to such an end , I still couldn't stop the pain in my heart.She sat silently for a while, then asked Qiu San with a hint of expectation: "Do you know the whereabouts of Ye Xiaoqi and Miss Xiaoliu?"

"That's not true." Qiu San shook his head, seeing that Chen Nian was very concerned about them, he comforted her again, "Miss Xie, don't worry, the little one once asked someone to search in the village, and none of those who died The two of them should have fled together with Zhang Dadang. In the current situation, no news is good news."

Knowing that these were just words of comfort, Chen Nian smiled wryly and did not speak.

For the next few days, Chen Nian has been depressed because of the Qingfengzhai incident, and his whole person seems listless.Chaoyangzi came to stare at her every day to force her to do her best. Seeing that she was no longer jumping around like before, she felt so strange that one day she couldn't bear it anymore, so she rolled her eyes and scolded her: "Little girl!" The girl is not very old, she has a lot of thoughts, and she doesn't know where all the troubles come from! Come on, tell the Taoist master why you are so unhappy."

Chen Nian didn't want to tell him about Qingfengzhai, so he deliberately pointed to his face with a bitter face and said to him: "Look at the Taoist priest, my face has been tanned to this color, how do you tell me to go out? "

Her originally pretty fair face is now slightly dark. Although it is not as dark as Chaoyangzi, it is also much darker than most women. Coupled with a pair of round, black and white apricot eyes and a mouthful of white Tooth, quite a sense of humor.Chaoyangzi originally intended to take revenge, but now seeing such an effect, he was naturally in a good mood, stroked those few beards, and said triumphantly: "What's wrong with having a dark face? It's better to have a dark face than a dark heart. Only those superficial people will judge people by their appearance, they can only see the blackness of people's faces, but they can't see the blackness of people's hearts. Such people are not worthy of your attention, so don't bother, just let them go!"

"The Taoist priest is right." Chen Nian paused with an expression of enlightenment, and then asked solemnly, "Is this the Taoist priest's experience?"

Chaoyangzi nodded slowly, waiting for Chennian to practice kung fu to persecute poison, he only realized that something was wrong here, glared at Chennian angrily, and told her to spend more time in the sun in retaliation Less than half an hour.

When Feng Junyang heard this from Shunping, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.Chaoyangzi would rather get a mean name than punish Chennian, but Chennian would rather endure more hardship than apologize to Chaoyangzi.

Shunping secretly looked at Feng Junyang's face, and asked tentatively, "When can Mr. Qiao and Chaoyangzi do it?"

Earlier, Feng Junyang had given an explanation, ordering him to try to get rid of Mr. Qiao and Chaoyangzi. Although Shunping didn't know the reason, he had been secretly planning this matter.Seeing that those two people are healing Feng Junyang and Chen Nian respectively, especially Feng Junyang, Qiao Lao spares no effort to help him repair his meridians every day, Feng Junyang respects him more than before, Shun Ping I can't figure out his mind.

Since his injury is good, there is no need to worry about them leaking any news. Old Qiao can naturally not kill him, but Chaoyangzi cannot let him go.Feng Junyang lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Wait a minute."

Hearing his words, Shunping probably had an idea in his mind, knowing that this person still had to be eliminated, but not now, but after Miss Xie was sure that nothing happened.

Because Feng Junyang and Chen Nian don't live together right now, they have to heal their injuries every day, and Feng Junyang has a lot of affairs to deal with, the two of them can only get together at dinner in a day, most of them are Feng Junyang. In Chennian's yard, I will go back to my residence after having dinner with her.

At dinner that day, Feng Junyang saw that Chen Nian was still absent-minded, so he put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and said to her: "If you don't want to eat, don't force yourself, and ask them to cook when you are hungry." Yes."

Chen Nian could talk nonsense with Chaoyangzi, but she didn't want to hide her thoughts in front of Feng Junyang. She lowered her head and said softly, "Ace, I feel bad."

Feng Junyang thought for a while, and asked, "Is it because of Qingfengzhai?"

Chen Nian nodded: "The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am as ruthless and ruthless as Ye Xiaoqi said. I watched the village collapse and ignored it. I..."

"Chen Nian!" Feng Junyang stopped her in a low voice, and what he said was so rational that it was almost indifferent, "It has nothing to do with you in Qingfengzhai. It wasn't your decision, even if you stay in the village, you can't stop the Jizhou army, and you can't save Qingfeng Village from being destroyed. You are Xie Chennian, you are not Zhang Kuisu, and you can't even stand up to Wen Fengming."

"At least I can reduce the deaths of people in the village. As long as I didn't only care about protecting myself, as long as I had the courage to expose Zhang Kuisu's conspiracy and tell everyone what I know, the people in the village might not So many deaths!" Chen Nian's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at him stubbornly.

Feng Junyang stared at her silently for a moment with the corners of his mouth tensed, then asked suddenly: "Chen Nian, do you blame me for stopping you?"

Chen Nian was slightly taken aback, then quickly shook his head and said, "No, Ah Ce, I didn't mean that."

Feng Jun pursed his lips and watched her remain silent.His reaction made Chen Nian feel even more wronged, she obviously didn't want to cry, but the tears kept rolling in her eyes, she didn't want to cry in front of him, so she had to stand up and walk aside, turned her back and didn't look at him anymore.

Seeing her like this, Feng Junyang's heart suddenly softened. He sighed helplessly, walked behind her and hugged her from behind, and said softly: "Chen Nian, we are the ones who will accompany each other for the rest of our lives. Faced with many things, not only swords and swords, but also many conspiracies and tricks. You can be kind, but you must not be weak, let alone lose your reason. I don’t want to face your doubts and accusations when I come back after fighting with people outside .”

"I don't." Chen Nian turned around and threw himself into his arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I just feel uncomfortable. So many people died in the village, and I knew them all. I feel uncomfortable."

She knew a long time ago that since Qingfeng Village was breached by Xue Shengying's army, there would inevitably be casualties.But on the one hand, because of Feng Junyang's intentional concealment, and on the other hand, she herself was unwilling to accept the reality, so she always had some luck in her heart, hoping that even if the cottage was gone, everyone could escape into the deep mountains and survive.

This illusion was shattered now, only a few hundred people survived the village of thousands of people, even people with high martial arts skills like Liu Zhongyi died, and the whereabouts of Ye Xiaoqi and Xiao Liu were even unknown.Only she, the traitor of Qingfengzhai, has been living happily in Qingzhou City.

That's right, she is the betrayer of Qingfeng Village, she was the one who abandoned Qingfeng Village, her partners in the village, and Ye Xiaoqi and Xiao Liu who grew up together.Ever since I heard the news about the village from Qiu San that day, this idea took root in Chen Nian's heart, and it grew silently, torturing her so much that she couldn't think of food or food, and couldn't sleep or eat.

How could Feng Junyang not understand her thoughts, he sighed slightly, she was still a little girl, even though she was strong and brave, she was still just a little girl who grew up in the mountains.Her heart is too soft, she values ​​others too much, she can't ignore human life like him, and she is even worse than Yun Sheng who was born in a wealthy family since childhood. Just feel guilty.

But it was just such a long year that attracted his heart.

Feng Junyang stroked her hair softly, and said in a low voice: "If you are really worried about the people in the village, I will accompany you back to find them after all the poison on your body is gone."

Chen Nian frowned on his chest and didn't speak, only nodded emphatically.
