Aspirations

Chapter 170
Wei Zhongqiang was slightly embarrassed: "The situation is tense at the moment. Xia Xiang sends yamen servants and experts to search for Fu Ke's whereabouts every day. I have to make Fu Ke temporarily wronged for the long-term plan. Even I am panicked like a bereaved dog. Dare to show up, lest Xia Xiang catch him and beat him into a trick. Fu Ke also knows that saving his life is the most important thing, for His Royal Highness Xing Wang's important matter, what's the point of living in a dog's kennel and a pig's kennel?"

Wu Yidong grinned, thinking that Wei Zhongqiang looked rough, but in fact he was rough and fine, and his words were impeccable, so he stretched and yawned: "It's okay to let even the lady live in the barracks, but it's still a good idea." Need to send more people to serve and guard, there is no extra manpower in the barracks, and the military supplies are allocated according to the number of people..."

If you want money, just say no early on, why bother to make such a big detour?Liu Changting was extremely annoyed at Wu Yidong's stinginess, it was really shameless to cry poorly in front of him even though he had earned [-] shi for grain due to Dong Xian's death.

Cursing and scolding, Liu Changting could only bear with it, and took out a piece of money from his sleeve: "As soon as the fee is paid, Liu will naturally have to bear it. This is a ten thousand yuan bill. If it is not enough, I will wait for Liu to make up for it." gone."

Wu Yidong was not polite, took Qian Yin directly, glanced at it, and put it into his sleeve very quickly: "Ten days and eight days must be enough, if you stay longer, it will be hard to say... "

While speaking, an officer came in and reported: "Commander Wu, Mrs. Lian has been settled properly."

"Okay." Wu Yidong got up and said, "Liu Yuanwai, Wei Zhongqiang, let's go and see the beautiful lady Lian."

A few people went out of the gate, turned to the right, and not far away, there was a small courtyard.The courtyard is next to Wu Yidong's house. Although it is not big, it is exquisite and elegant. In the rough military camp, there is a kind of elegance of Jiangnan style.

Several people entered the courtyard, walked through the corridor, and came to the inner courtyard with three steps, one pavilion, five steps and one view.There is a wing room in the courtyard, the door of the wing room is wide open, in the living room, there is a woman sitting with her head bowed, as quiet as a lotus and as gentle as a lotus.

It was Lian Ruohan.

Hearing the footsteps of several people, Lian Ruohan raised his eyes to take a look, and then looked back calmly.After a few people came in, she stood up to greet them, and saluted: "I have seen Commander Wu."

Wu Yidong returned a salute: "You have wronged Mrs. Lian."

Lian Ruohan smiled slightly: "It's rare to be able to calm down and think about some things. I have to thank Commander Wu. I think I am busy on weekdays, and I rarely have such free time. Now I calm down, suddenly I feel that the time is quiet and good, and it reminds me of many past events.”

Lian Ruohan's calm demeanor and elegant demeanor made Liu Changting's heart itch, and he wished he could pounce on him now to accomplish something good, but at this time Wu Yidong was by his side, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Haha, Mrs. Lian is really interesting, rare, rare, she deserves to be the number one strange woman in Daxia." Wu Yidong grinned, "I wonder if Mrs. Lian is satisfied with the residence? If there is something inappropriate, just speak up, I will do my best .”

"Commander Wu is determined, and the little girl is very satisfied." Lian Ruohan shot Liu Changting's face with lightning-like eyes, "Mr. Liu, you have gone to great lengths to tie me here. I have three words to tell you. Clear. First, if you dare to use force on me, I would rather die. Second, if you let me out now, I will treat this incident as if it never happened, and I will not care about anything with you. If you don’t let me go, then This matter will make you regret it for the rest of your life. Three, within three days, Xia Xianzun will definitely rescue me, and the world will be so big that there will be no place for you anymore. Do it yourself!"

Lian Ruohan's words were both soft and hard, but she said it slowly, without any threat, but it made people feel the aggressive chill, Wu Yidong couldn't help but shudder, thinking of Lian Ruohan coming from Qinghe With Cui's background and the rumors that there is a man behind her, he secretly squinted his eyes, regretting that he had accepted Liu Changting's ten thousand guan money to lure Ruohan to the barracks.

Liu Changting was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "Miss Lian, even if you are the helm of the world's number one firm in good times, in front of His Royal Highness Xingwang, you are just a small businessman who is at the mercy of others. Is it possible to command the world? It is extremely ridiculous. And Xia Xiang, a small seventh-rank magistrate, in the eyes of His Royal Highness Xingwang, what is the difference with an ant? Even Cui Fuzun can make Xia Xiang look like a dog Just as obedient, do you think Xia Xiang can rescue you? Daydreaming! Xia Xiang led people to chase you to Yuanjia Village, and was played around by my plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. At this time, he might have returned to the county government with nothing, haha."

Lian Ruohan didn't smile, his face was indifferent, ignoring Liu Changting's arrogance, and he waited until he finished laughing before saying: "Mr. Liu, I advise you to go back to Yuanjia Village as soon as possible. If there is no accident, your people in Yuanjia Village have been respected by Xia County." It's all over."

Liu Changting didn't believe it, but he was a little shaken in his heart, and Wei Zhongqiang was even more moved: "Besides Liu Yuan, Li Xiaosi is pretty reliable, and Jiang Xiaoliu is a bit indiscriminate, why don't we go back quickly?" If Xia Xiang finds out Jiang Xiaoliu and Li Xiaosi, and then finds Fu Ke, it will be troublesome."

"That's right, that's right, you go back quickly, even the lady is safe in the military camp, it's hard to say that Fu Ke is in Yuanjia Village." Wu Yidong also persuaded Liu Changting, "If Fu Ke is secretly captured by Xia Xiang, he will openly report to the Cui Mansion. You respect someone, if Cui Manor respects you, if you don't hand over someone, things will be troublesome."

Liu Changting thought about it too, and hurriedly rode away with Wei Zhongqiang without caring about too much.

As soon as the two left, Wu Yidong stayed behind, and he smiled complacently: "Liu Changting won't be able to fool me even if my wife is able to fool me. No matter how capable Xia Xiang is, he won't be able to find anything in Yuanjia Village. He will definitely be in vain." I'm busy. What I'm curious about is, why did you conquer such a large country in just three years? Can you tell me, who are you?"

Lian Ruohan smiled: "The little girl belongs to Xia Xianzun, and she has a lifelong marriage contract with Xia Xianzun."

Wu Yidong chuckled: "Miss Lian, you don't tell lies in front of real people. I know that you have all-hands and eyes. Compared with your father Cui He, you are more intelligent in the officialdom. But what I don't understand is that you are the emperor's son." People, or people from His Highness Prince Qing?"

"Under Putian, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers... Whether you or I, Xingwang, or Qingwang, they are all the emperor's people." Lian Ruohan was still vain.

"Even my lady, it's fine if you don't say it. Now, no matter who you are, without my official's permission, you can't even think about taking a step in the military camp." Wu Yidong smiled, "I respect your talent, but you and I Everyone is their own master, and when the sword is on the verge of breaking out, don't blame me for being rude."

"Commander Wu, has it ever occurred to you that the little girl belongs to King Yun?" Lian Ruohan blinked her eyes a few times, both as a hint and as a joke.

"His Royal Highness King Yun?" Wu Yidong took back the step that was about to step out of the door, and said thoughtfully, "King Yun followed Star King wholeheartedly, so how could he cultivate power secretly? Could it be that King Yun also has the heart to aspire to the throne?" ?”

"If it were you, Commander Wu, you are only one step away from becoming the emperor, and you have the opportunity, would you be willing to take the second place?" Lian Ruohan smiled.

"That's true..." Wu Yidong's heart moved slightly, but he thought about it again, and laughed, "Forget it, I don't bother to care who you are, I just obey His Royal Highness Xingwang's order. Okay Now, Miss Lian, you can stay here at ease, remember, don't have any thoughts, this is a military camp, and it is absolutely impossible to escape."

After Wu Yidong left, Lian Ruohan sat alone for a while, bored, she got up and went to the courtyard.Two personal maids, one on the left and one on the right, followed closely behind.One of them is called Shui Qingqian and the other is called Yue Dusk. They are both fourteen or fifteen years old.

Although there are scenery in the courtyard, it is not the same as Guanxin Pavilion.Lian Ruohan came to a pavilion and sat down. There were screams of killing and killing in the distance. She frowned slightly, feeling a little worried in her heart.I don't want to be careless and negligent for a while, and be tied up by Liu Changting. I think she is too young to travel all over the north and south of Daxia. She should have hired more experts earlier.

In addition to guarding against Liu Changting's violence against her, she was more worried about Xia Xiang's safety.Since Liu Changting was bold enough to tie her up in broad daylight, it is conceivable that he would not be surprised if he attacked Xia Xiang.Fortunately, Xia Xiang had Mantuo and Xiao Wu by his side, so it was not so easy for Liu Changting to succeed.

It's just... In addition to Yan Hao, there is another woman with a mysterious origin in Zhending City.If she joins forces with Yan Hao, Man Tuo and Xiao Wu are no match.If Yan Hao and the mysterious woman join forces to kill Xia Xiang, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?
Not only will all her efforts be in vain, but her feelings and life-long events will also be in vain.

Before, she was still hesitant about whether Xia Xiang could be of great use, but later she realized more and more that Xia Xiang was not only worthy of great use, but also the only candidate, so she pinned all her hopes on Xia Xiang—a big plan and a lifetime, so to speak, Xia Xiang's body is not only tied to her layout over the years, but also her life's happiness.

I hope Xia Xiang will get through the crisis safely. Lian Ruohan brushed her hair and saw that the sun was in the west. It was already afternoon. If Xia Xiang got nothing today, it would be even more difficult to find her and Fu Ke's whereabouts tomorrow.After Liu Changting and Wei Zhongqiang go back, they will definitely transfer Fu Ke to another place overnight.

However, Lian Ruohan believed that with Xia Xiang's intelligence, she would definitely stay on the sidelines in Yuanjia Village, and it was precisely because of this that she deliberately asked Liu Changting and Wei Zhongqiang to go back quickly and throw themselves into the trap.

"Miss Lian, it's windy outside, let's go back to the room and rest." Shui Qingqian said.

Lian Ruohan's heart moved, he glanced at Shui Qingqian, and asked, "Shui Qingqian, are you from Lingshouren?"

"How does Mrs. Lian know that I am a Lingshou?" Shui Qingqian looked surprised, "Could it be that Mrs. Lian is also a Lingshou?"

"I'm from Qinghe, and I'm not far from Lingshou." Lian Ruohan could hear the resemblance between Shui Qingqian's accent and Xia Xiang's, and she asked Yue Dusk again, "Yue Dusk, where are you?" people?"

Yue Dusk replied: "Miss Huilian, I am Zhendingren."

Lian Ruohan got up and walked out of the pavilion, but instead of going back to the room, she walked out: "Are there many Zhending and Lingshou people in the barracks?"

"There are not many. Most of the soldiers come from all over the world. The soldiers' wives, as well as our maids and cooks, are all from Zhending, Lingshou, and Shile. There are many people in the three places." With a smile, "It's not bad for women like us who come from poor families to come to the military camp to be a maid. Even better, if you are attracted by a soldier and become a soldier's wife, it is considered a high incense. And I Pingguo from the same village married a loyal and admirable man, and everyone from all over the world envied him."

Lian Ruohan smiled and said nothing, Zhong Xunlang is a rank nine military officer.In Daxia, civil servants have always been higher than military officials, and military officials are promoted very quickly. There are many fifth-rank military officials, but there are not many fifth-rank civil servants.When a military officer of the fifth rank sees a civil servant of the seventh rank, he is even lower.In the eyes of civilian officials, a ninth-rank military officer is just like a yamen servant, out of the ordinary.

"Miss Lian, Commander Wu said that you can't leave the gate of the courtyard." Yue Dusk stepped in front of Lian Ruohan and blocked the way, "If you leave the courtyard, the slaves will be beaten to death."

"I'll just stand at the door." Lian Ruohan gently pushed Yue Dusk away, and stepped out of the door involuntarily.

Yue Duo looked embarrassed, and wanted to hold Lian Ruohan, Shui Qingqian shook his head lightly, and whispered: "It's okay, Lian Niangzi won't run away, the military camp is heavily guarded, she is a weak woman, she can run away Where to go?"

Yue Duo didn't speak anymore, but just followed behind Lian Ruohan, never leaving her.

On both sides of the gate, there is a soldier guarding each side.Lian Ruohan asked the soldier on the right: "The left side is the residence of Commander Wu, and the right side is the residence of Deputy Commander Han?"

The soldier on the right has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is tall and straight, standing in front of him is like a poplar tree.Without squinting, he replied, "Yes."

Lian Ruohan turned around and asked the soldiers on the left: "Are you a soldier of Commander Wu or Deputy Commander Han?"

The soldier on the right is a little shorter than the soldier on the right, but he is also tall and broad, strong and mighty, and he does not look sideways: "He is the personal soldier of Commander Wu, and the villain is the relative of Deputy Commander Han." Soldiers."

Lian Ruohan nodded, and there was something else to say, when Yue Dusk urged again: "Miss Lian, it's time to go back."

Lian Ruohan had no choice but to get up and go back, took two steps but stopped, looked at the soldiers on the left, then at the soldiers on the right, and suddenly smiled: "Are you two twin brothers? You look exactly the same."

"It's a brother, not a twin brother. He's two years younger than me." said the taller soldier on the right.

Lian Ruohan's eyes lit up suddenly: "You two are Lingshou people?"

The two soldiers looked at each other, and they both nodded: "Exactly."

"What's your name?" Lian Ruohan looked at the two curiously again.

The taller soldier on the right smiled honestly: "My name is Xia Lai, I am the eldest brother, and he is Xia Qu, and I am the younger brother."

"Xia Lai Xia Go?" Lian Ruohan exclaimed, "Didn't the two of you go to Quanzhou, how can you still be sure?"
