Xie Zichen listened to her words, nodded, and didn't say much.
Ye Chen noticed that he was not in a good mood, thought for a while, and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Xie Zichen got up by himself, turned and walked out: "I'll have someone contact Wang Ning to see where he is. Huan Heng, don't worry, although he wants Jiuxi, he still wants to do it in a fair and honest manner." …”
"He knows I'm a woman." Wei Lan said directly, Xie Zichen's body froze, Wei Lan sighed: "Zichen, he didn't come back to ask for Jiuxi."
"He came back to ask for you." Xie Zichen turned his head slowly, looked at Wei Lan coldly, and gritted his teeth word by word: "Unless I die, otherwise, he will stop! Think!"
Even though he said that, countless questions came up.
How did Wei Lan come back
Huan Heng found out that she was a woman, and took her away like that, what was he trying to do
What did Huan Heng do to her
Xie Zichen felt as if his heart was being eaten by something, and those sharp questions stabbed him like a knife, but he couldn't speak.
Seeing the change in his expression, Wei Lan couldn't help laughing: "No questions for me?"
"No." Xie Zichen lowered his eyes.
"Really?"
"Um."
"Zichen," Wei Lan sighed, "don't want to ask me what Huan Heng and I said, what did we do, and how did we get back?"
"It's not important." Xie Zichen said, his voice was already hoarse. He lowered his eyes and said slowly: "No matter what he did, it was his fault. I don't care, and I don't want to care. I only know that he wants to Grab, then come, between me and him, there has never been a dead end. If you can't win in a fight, it's because of my own incompetence, and if I lose, it's because of my own incompetence, so what you do with him has nothing to do with me."
"I snatched you back in the first place," Xie Zichen raised his head slightly, and said coldly, "If he has the ability, then come."
Hearing this, Wei Lan laughed lowly: "Zichen, you didn't snatch me back, I chose you."
As she spoke, she walked up to Xie Zichen and held Xie Zichen's hand. Xie Zichen lowered his eyes and said nothing.
She was snatched back by him, and he knew it better than anyone else. She and Huan Heng were supposed to be together. They used to like each other, and they were just a little bit close to each other. It's just that he was right about that point, so he let them develop.
Robbing is robbing openly, robbing secretly is also robbing, if he hadn't had other intentions at the beginning, he really regarded her as a good brother, and if he raised a little bit, she and Huan Heng would not have come to that point.
Wei Lan never understood how much thought and patience he had wasted getting her.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing, he didn't want her to know anything about his dirty heart.
"We didn't do anything today," Wei Lan explained patiently: "I made it clear to him that I don't like him. He probably needs time to digest it, so he let me come back. Don't think too much about it."
"I do not… "
"I don't understand your temper?" Wei Lan raised her head, her eyes were bright, and the corners of her mouth were bent: "The corner of her mouth said no, but she didn't know what she wanted in her heart. Wang Xi said at the beginning that you were jealous of your brother Cock, I don't think you are a vinegar crock, you are a sea of vinegar, no one can think of you."
Xie Zichen tilted his head and didn't speak, but felt much more at ease. With a straight face, he said: "I really didn't think much about it. Anyway, no matter what happened, it must be Huan Heng who forced you. It's all his fault. If I get angry again, I'm looking for trouble with him."
"You don't doubt me at all?" Wei Lan blinked: "I'm a romantic person."
Xie Zichen turned to look at her with seriousness in his eyes: "I know better than anyone how clean your heart is, Alan."
Wei Lan was stunned, Xie Zichen raised his hand to lift the broken hair next to her ear, and said calmly: "I like you, not for nothing."
Wei Lan didn't speak, she stretched out her arms to hug him, and buried her whole face in his arms.
On the second day, Empress Dowager Xie took the young emperor to hold a banquet in person to welcome Huan Heng. Huan Heng finally appeared in front of Wei Lan again.
He was dressed in a black costume and was surrounded by people. When he saw Wei Lan, he respectfully saluted and said lightly, "Wei Xiang."
As if never met.
Wei Lan nodded, nodded and said, "Marshal Huan."
At this time, the queen mother had already taken her seat, calling everyone to sit down. The positions were taken according to their identities. The first ones were of course the Empress Dowager Xie and the Young Emperor. There were four tables in the lower table. Wei Lan led Xie Zichen to one side, and Huan Heng took Wang Chengxiang to sit on the other side.
Xie Zichen looked at Huan Heng who had never looked this way, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, frowned and said in a low voice, "What is he thinking now?"
Wei Lan took a sip of her wine, looked up at Huan Heng who was talking and laughing with Prime Minister Wang, and shook her head: "I don't know."
After all, she has been separated for so many years, and her knowledge of him only comes from her memory, but no one knows how much this person has changed.
After drinking for three rounds, the scene heated up, and a person suddenly said: "Your Majesty, now that Marshal Huan is destroying the country of Chen in the north, it is a lucky thing that I, the Great Chu, have had in a hundred years. I have the courage to play your majesty, and give Marshal Huan the honor." Jiuxi!"
As soon as the voice fell, the audience fell silent. And the young man looked completely drunk, Wei Lan raised her eyes and looked over, it was Yu Shitai Ning Chong.
This person has always been a militant, and has always been a supporter of Huan Heng. Wei Lan is not at all surprised that he came out to make such a head today.
No one dared to speak, Wei Lan looked up at Huan Heng, and said calmly: "Marshal Huan, Lord Ning asked His Majesty to give you nine tins, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Huan Heng smiled, but looked at everyone: "I personally think that this reward is something I can afford, what do you think?"
"Chen is a small country," Xie Zichen said, and said calmly, "I think it would be too hasty to give Jiuxi to destroy Chen. If Marshal Huan can destroy Di Jie, the gift of Jiuxi is the right thing to do. "
That's how he angered Huan Heng in his previous life and made Huan Heng go on the Northern Expedition.
However, Huan Heng in this life, returned to the north when he was naive, experienced all kinds of great changes, and gradually climbed to the position of Marshal of the Army and Horses. Obviously, he understood the conspiracy and tricks of these literati better than before. So he smiled and said: "It's true that Chen Guo is a small country, but Da Chu and Chen Guo have been fighting for nearly a hundred years, and no one has been wiped out. Consider the reality."
"Jiuxi is the highest gift for a courtier," Xie Zichen raised his eyes to look at Huan Heng: "I can't do what a courtier should do best, so I come to ask for it, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
"Actually speaking, Mr. Xie just thinks that Jiuxi can't be rewarded to me. I'm afraid that my status is higher than yours. What's the matter?"
Huan Heng threw the wine glass on the table, leaned on the dancer behind him, and said carelessly: "This Commander Jiuxi doesn't have to ask for it, but it's just a reward for military achievements, so it's better to reward him with something that the Commander wants. Wei Xiang," Huan Heng cast his eyes on Wei Lan and said with a smile, "You say yes?"
Wei Lan didn't speak, she took a sip of her wine, her face was calm.
After a while, she raised her head and said calmly, "What does Marshal Huan want?"
"It's nothing." Huan Heng smiled: "As long as Minister Wei tells me not to want this Jiuxi today, then I will not want this Jiuxi."
But as long as she opened her mouth, she would owe him a great favor from now on.
He wanted them to stop being in constant contact and to be involved for the rest of their lives.
Xie Zichen naturally understood what Huan Heng meant, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's just Jiuxi, Marshal Huan can take it if he wants it."
Huan Heng turned to look at him, Xie Zichen met Huan Heng's gaze, and said coldly: "Wei Xiang doesn't have such a big face, nor will he have such a big face to make Marshal Huan give up Jiuxi for her."
Huan Heng sneered: "Wei Xiang didn't have it, but there is another person."
"Master Xie's wife," Huan Heng said in a cold voice, "I've heard that she is very beautiful, but?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone present turned cold. Politics is politics, and insulting other people's wives is too base.
Xie Zichen didn't speak, he took a sip of his wine, put down his glass, and stood up. Everyone thought he was going to leave, and Huan Heng also raised his eyebrows, but at that moment, Xie Zichen drew his sword from the waist of the guard behind him, and stabbed at Huan Heng!
Huan Heng's complexion changed drastically, and he turned over immediately, barely avoiding the sword light.
Xie Zichen's sword was too ruthless and too fast, with the potential to tear down dead trees. Before the fight, Huan Heng didn't know that Xie Zichen's swordsmanship was so powerful!
However, Huan Heng soon realized that Xie Zichen was the number one swordsman in the world and was a closed disciple. The teacher Xie Zichen paid a lot of money for at the beginning, Xie Zichen studied secretly at the beginning. If you love talents, you are naturally extremely talented.
Huan Heng dodged twice in embarrassment, ran to the side of the guard, drew his sword and rushed forward.
The sound of the two swords colliding could be heard endlessly, but none of the people present dared to speak, and no one dared to step forward. Wei Lan sat alone and poured herself wine, as if nothing had happened.
Empress Dowager Xie sat on the high seat, trying to be calm, but her heart was already in chaos.
Huan Heng's 5,000 elite soldiers were surrounded outside, if Huan Heng did something wrong here, Sheng Jing might be bloodbathed.
Wei Lan also noticed that the queen mother was nervous, raised her glass and smiled at the queen mother, counting it as comfort.
She knew the strength of Xie Zichen and Huan Heng. Xie Zichen is not as good as Huan Heng when leading troops to fight, but when it comes to fighting alone, Huan Heng is definitely not as good as Xie Zichen.
The two fought for a while, and Xie Zichen kicked Huan Heng off the high platform.
Huan Heng bumped into the table along the road and rushed out, hitting the pillar hard. Xie Zichen stood on the high platform with his sword in hand. His hair was in a bun, and his clothes were cut by Huan Heng's sword energy, but he didn't appear to be in a panic.
"When you and I first met, I told you—"
Xie Zichen said coldly: "I don't hit you, not because I'm afraid of you, but because I'm afraid that your father won't recognize you if I hit you!"
"Now that your father is dead, you dare to mention my wife again," Xie Zichen raised his sword and said coldly, "Even if it costs the lives of the entire city of Shengjing, Huan Heng, I will definitely kill you!"
The author has something to say:
Do you still remember the first thirty chapters when Huan Heng and Xie Zichen met...
Huan Heng: "Xie Zichen, I want to change rooms with you, whoever wins will stay!"
Xie Zichen: "Look for Eunuch Zhang"
Huan Heng: "Coward!"
Xie Zichen: "I don't fight with you, it's not that I'm afraid of you. I'm just worried that when I beat you to find your father, your father won't recognize you."
