Qingguan put her small hand on his big one and said softly: "Brother, my uncle was ordered by the prince to lead troops to the capital and fight with the imperial guards. He must have discovered something, otherwise he would not have asked Qingmu to come all the way to you. Send it.”
Sheng Fang gritted his teeth and nodded: "Sister, you are right."
"so… "
Qingguan looked at him intently, with a troubled look on her face, and she seemed to be embarrassed. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said: "So brother, my master and I have discussed that we want you to go to the Northwest Army to find out the secrets of the past. "
The gentle words sounded like drum beats in Sheng Fang's ears.
Ever since he knew that his father was a general who was astonishing all over the world, he had had a fantasy in his heart that one day he would be able to wear a battle robe, ride a war horse, stand beside his father with his head held high, and fight with him to conquer thousands of miles like a tiger.
To this day, this fantasy still echoes in his heart. When one day he is avenged and still alive, he and his brothers will sneak around in the army, kill the enemy with blood, and protect the family and the country.
Now that this opportunity was placed in front of him so easily, Sheng Fang felt that his eyes were darkening.
Shi Minwei, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly spoke up.
"General Sheng Qing has commanded the Zhenxi Army for decades and has a very deep foundation. Six years ago, he led 30,000 Zhenxi Army into Beijing, and the remaining troops are still stationed at the border. It is impossible to keep the events of that year completely hidden. Someone will always investigate. I think if Master Shiba investigates carefully, he should find something."
Sheng Fang held Qing Guan's hand with his backhand, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said, "My sister and I have decided to go to the same place. I am willing to go to the Northwest Army."
"Brother, don't worry, listen to Master Shi in detail." Qingguan comforted him.
Shi Minwei said, "If the Eighteenth Master goes to the army, he should find a way to achieve military success and attract the attention of Li Zongze, the legitimate son of Princess Pingyang and the general of Zhenxi. It is best to become his right-hand man."
"Why?" Shi Minwei said: "As far as I know, Li Zongze fell from a horse when he was young and fractured his right foot. Whenever it rains, he will feel pain. It is cold and freezing in the northwest and the climate is harsh. In the past six years, Not only did his problems not get better, but they got a lot worse. Princess Pingyang felt very sorry for her son.
I had long wanted to call him back to Beijing, but the emperor refused and kept delaying. "
Sheng Fang is not a stupid person, he can solve the problem with just one point.
General Li will return to Beijing sooner or later. If I can gain his trust before he leaves office and lay a solid foundation in the Zhenxi Army, then things will be much easier.
He had an idea and said: "If I go to the army, twenty brothers will definitely follow me. I will divide them into two groups, one will follow me to suppress the Western Army, and the other will join the Northern Army."
"pretty."
Shi Minwei shouted, "Eighteenth Master, you and the lady want to go together."
Sheng Fang moved his gaze to meet those black and white starry eyes.
Qingguan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, am I too cruel? I just found you and put you in danger again."
Sheng Fang's chest warmed slightly, "What are you talking about? I am Sheng Shiba, and the blood of the Sheng family is flowing in my body. I shall avenge this blood feud. I am not as smart as my sister, and I only have a long life. My sister just gives orders. ”
Qingguan's eyes were wet and she looked at him softly.
Sheng Fang felt that the tenderest part of his heart had been brought out. For so many years, he had been walking on the edge of a knife, and there was not a day without fear. But now, being looked at by such eyes, I am not afraid of anything anymore.
Shi Minwei looked at the two brothers and sisters, feeling unstoppable in his heart.
An illegitimate son from the Sheng family and a daughter from the Gu family. They were just relatives separated by a living room, but they still loved each other so much. Those brothers and sisters of mine... were so cold-hearted.
"Sixth Miss, Eighteenth Master, the current problem is how to join the army in a clear and honest manner."
Qingguan looked at him deeply and said, "This requires me to plan and plan for my brother."
Shi Minwei's heart trembled, and he said sternly: "Miss, if you don't want to follow Shou Wang's side, think of a way."
Qingguan understands.
What the master said is absolutely right. The only person in this world who can get people to join the army is the longevity king Zhao Jingyan.
She relaxed her eyebrows and said: "Master's idea is excellent. However, Qingwan has something to tell Master. My brother's life experience must not be revealed, otherwise it will be doomed."
Shi Minwei stood up and said with an upright face: "Young lady clearly told me the life experience of the Eighteenth Master, which is a sign of your trust in me. I, Shi Minwei, can be considered a scholar, nothing else, only a bit pedantic." I feel sour, please just take it easy, miss.”
Qingguan nodded approvingly and said, "Master, you must remember that we are all one family."
"Miss..." Shi Minwei was suddenly speechless. He never expected that Qingwan would say such a sentence.
"You are all the people I want to protect." Qingguan added lightly.
The moon's shadow sets in the west.
Shi Minwei left first. Qingguan thought that her brother would not stay in Beijing for long, and felt a little reluctant to let him go.
It just so happened that Sheng Fang also wanted to spend more time with her, so he didn't leave. The brother and sister placed snacks, melons and fruits in the courtyard, made fragrant tea, and sat facing each other.
Although it was late spring, the night was somewhat cool, so Sheng Fang took off his cloak and put it on for the girl.
Qingguan blinked and asked about his situation when he was a killer in the past.
Sheng Fang didn't hide it, and his deep voice sounded in the quiet courtyard, which was so pleasant to the ears.
Yinzhen, Ye Qing, and Ye Zi each moved a small bench, hugged their legs and listened with great interest.
Qingguan lowered her chin, sometimes frowning, sometimes pursed her lips, sometimes sighing, sometimes full of eyes, her eyes brighter than the stars in the night sky.
When Zhao Jingyan came in, he saw such a scene.
A woman in plain clothes sat next to a tree, with a pair of dark eyes that were unpredictable. The moonlight was shining all over her body, and the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to exaggerate something, making her look a little sad.
Looking down her dark eyes, it was that annoying guy. Zhao Jingyan's heart clenched, and she had the urge to rush forward and beat the man violently.
No more, I couldn't bear it any longer. No matter who this person was or what his relationship was with the Sheng family, they had to be kept away from Gu Liu. If he continues like this, the green brain on his head will shine.
Sheng Fang had long sensed someone. The corners of his eyes were raised, but his body did not move. Instead, he turned around, brushed away a fallen leaf from Qing Guan's hair, and took the opportunity to say in a deep voice that the two of them could hear: " King Shou has arrived."
Hearing what he said, Qingguan glanced at the courtyard door casually. Something seemed to flash in her mind. She rolled her eyes slightly and realized that she was planning on him.
"Hu Yong, you have been sitting for a long time and you feel a little tired. Please take a few steps with me."
When Sheng Fang heard Qing Guan calling him like this, he was slightly shocked, but he still walked to her side and gently helped her up.
When he stood up, the cloak slipped off his body. He bent down to pick it up, and a small voice penetrated his ears.
"Accompany me to act out a play between a man and a woman."
Sheng Fang trembled, straightened up as usual, put the cloak on Qingguan's shoulders, and tied a knot deftly with his big hands, "Qingguan, let me lead you."
Qingguan smiled, took the initiative to put her hand into his big palm, and the two of them walked out slowly.
The woman's delicate body nestled against the man's side, and the shadow of the moon stretched their shadows. Someone was hiding in the darkness, with flames pulsing in his eyes, but he lightly jumped onto the tree.
On the big tree, A Li and Jiang Hongwen were sitting with their backs to each other. Suddenly there was an extra person, making the originally small space even more crowded.
It would be fine if it was just crowded, but this man was full of anger and could burn others at any time.
The two looked at each other resentfully, and at the same time moved their gazes to the ground, raising their ears to eavesdrop on the people under the tree.
What was disappointing was that the two people walking hand in hand slowly walked away without saying a word. They were facing each other in pairs, and their backs revealed a touch of indescribable ambiguity.
Zhao Jingyan landed lightly, with light reflected in his eyes. He stood quietly for a moment, then jumped up and disappeared into the moonlight.
"Your Majesty?"
A Li turned around and asked anxiously: "Master Qi, what should I do?"
Jiang Hongwen's eyes moved, "Follow me!"
Two black shadows disappeared into the night.
A few feet away, Sheng Fang said in a deep voice: "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Brother, in this world, if your fiancée is intimate with another man, what should you do?"
"break off an engagement."
"What if we can't break off the engagement?"
"Find a settlement with that man."
"If there is a huge difference in identity, why can't we settle the score with that man?"
Sheng Fang was silent for a long time and said: "Then we can only send it away from a distance."
Qingguan let out a sigh of relief.
Zhao Jingyan, I am really sorry. My brother's status is special, and it's not time for a showdown yet. As Mr. Jiang Qi's brother, you will definitely not sit idly by if I am so affectionate with others.
The moonlight shone slantingly, and the pear blossoms fell to the ground.
The long shadow fell behind the stone path, nodded to the black shadow behind him, and walked into the shabby room that he had not entered for a long time.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and Zhao Jingqiong walked in from the window, her back as firm as stone, and her robe looked increasingly empty.
Hearing the voice, he looked back and the two brothers looked at each other.
"What's the matter with coming here in such a hurry?"
Zhao Jingyan said, "There is indeed something important."
"Say it."
"Brother, this is what happened..."
Zhao Jingqiong sat down cross-legged. After half a cup of tea, his face was covered with frost and snow. "No one but the Sheng family knows about the Death Array. If there is no accident, this person should be Sheng Qing's illegitimate son."
Zhao Jingyan said in shock: "Sheng Qing indeed has an illegitimate child. It seems that this time, Lao Ba is right."
Zhao Jingqiong nodded, "Many years ago, Sheng Qing returned from the army and went to the Prince's Mansion to drink. After drinking, he lost control and confided in me a word or two. The Sheng family was destroyed because of me six years ago. I was extremely sad and did not want to destroy the Sheng family again. The only bloodline is in the eyes of the world, so it has never been mentioned to anyone."
"No wonder, Gu Liu treated him like this, what happened."
When Zhao Jingqiong heard the name, she said casually: "Tell me in detail how that woman treated him."
Zhao Jingyan was silent for a moment, then spoke softly, with a slight sourness in her words.
for a long time.
Zhao Jingqiong had a smile on her lips, her unparalleled elegance filled her with self-mockery, "Baby, you are not as good as her after all."
"Brother?" Zhao Jingyan was slightly startled.
"How is the skill of a person who can perform a deadly formation?"
"Top master." "You are only a few feet away. Gu Qingwan can't hear you. How can that man not notice anything?"
