Chapter 107 Narcissus

Before Qing Ping could turn around, Shao Ming pushed her impatiently, walked towards the courtyard, and happened to collide with Wu Ying who had heard the sound.

Shao Ming's cap was knocked crooked, he hastily corrected it, and said angrily: "This is the servant of your mansion? Why are you so ignorant of rules and etiquette?"

The corners of Wu Ying's eyes were slightly red, her expression was cold and serious, and she said contemptuously: "In terms of etiquette, this young master, Wu has never seen a man from any family enter a foreigner's house privately for so many years!"

Qing Ping hastily separated the two who looked like fighting cocks, and before he could say a word, Shao Ming took off his hat and said with a sneer, "So it's the Wu family in Le'an, a wealthy family that has been famous for a long time. When I saw you today, your lord is really a hairpin tassel Come out of the house!"

Wu Ying brushed off the dust that didn't exist on her body, as if she was brushing off something disgusting. She glanced at Shao Ming with gloomy eyes, and said, "It turns out that he is the fourth son of the Shao family. He has known his name for a long time, and he is really extraordinary."

Qing Ping had a terrible headache, Wu Ying glanced at Shao Ming inexplicably, she didn't know if she heard what he said just now at the door, she said: "I still have something to do, let's go first."

She walked away with a flick of her sleeves, and before she left, she cast a contemptuous glance at Shao Ming, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what to say, how decent it is!"

After she left, Shao Ming's face was already red with anger, he gave Wu Ying a hard look at the direction where Wu Ying left, and said through gritted teeth: "Shameless bastard, other people's lackeys! You've lost all face of the daughter of the family! "

Qingping had no choice but to invite him to the living room. Shao Ming calmed down after taking a few deep breaths. He sat at the table and looked around gloomily. Confused, he said: "This place is so dilapidated, you might as well leave quickly."

What he said was inexplicable, Qingping was a little puzzled and asked: "What do you mean, young master?"

Shao Ming touched the string of bright red beads on the veiled cap, hesitantly said: "There are some things that I can't tell you in detail, and you too... It's better not to know."

In the afternoon, the sun is shining in the courtyard, and the wind is blowing, making the grass and trees in the courtyard rustling, and the shadows of the trees are uneven, falling on the bottom of the steps; the sky in the distance is blue and endless, and white clouds float by like cotton wool, which is a peaceful scene There is nothing wrong with the scene.Qingping guessed that he knew some news, vaguely felt that it was a big deal, she was silent for a while, and then said: "Thank you, my lord, for coming to inform me."

Probably because she was a little too calm, Shao Ming was very puzzled, and said, "Aren't you leaving? You have a chance to return to Beijing this time for the official assessment. Could it be that you want to stay in Yunzhou, what's so good about here?"

Qing Ping supported his forehead wearily, Wu Ying just left, and Shao Ming came again, both of them had some entanglements with her, so they had to deal with it vaguely.It is also interesting to say that Wu Ying persuaded her before, and now Shao Ming is also saying the same thing, she managed to cheer up and said: "There is nothing wrong with staying in Yunzhou, I am used to staying here."

Shao Ming was obviously a little surprised, he lowered his head and thought about something, and said: "No matter what I said, I have brought it to you, Mr. Li, it is up to you to leave or stay, I will not deceive you to leave for no reason."

He looked a little sad, got up and put on the veiled hat, and said in a low voice: "This place is no longer a peaceful place, the Shao family caravan will leave for Minzhou in the future, take care of yourself."

He came and went in a hurry, and sat quietly for a while, but he couldn't make up his mind no matter what.The shadow of the tree under the steps gradually slanted, and slowly moved up the steps in the sunlight. She tapped lightly on the edge of the table, but she couldn't figure out why the Shao family left.

It is obvious that there are huge benefits in the mutual market, and now no one is willing to give up the fat in their mouths easily, let alone at the time of the peace talks, and the prosperous period is about to usher in, why did they leave suddenly?Deep uneasiness flashed through her heart, and in her intricate thoughts, she inexplicably thought of Chu Jun.

What was the result of the peace talks, and what happened to Chu Jun?

She walked aimlessly around the table a few times before deciding to go back to the ancient city.

In the evening of spring, the ancient city is bathed in the brilliant sunset. The blue sky is almost dark blue, and the clouds are dyed as magnificent as flames. Cooking smoke curled up and dissipated in the evening wind.Occasionally, a flock of geese flew across the sky, and a few bison walked loosely on the Gobi Desert, leisurely looking for grass among the rocks.

The horseshoes stepped over and splashed the dust, which did not destroy this leisurely and peaceful picture, but flew towards the ancient city like an arrow leaving the string in the afterglow of the setting sun.

It was already night when Qingping arrived in the ancient city, she originally wanted to go directly to the palace to find Chu Jun, but on second thought, she went to the Yamen of Anping Mansion first, and wanted to inquire about some news from Sun Congshan.

She never thought that Sun Congshan hadn't come back yet, so she waited for a while, and then went to wait outside the official office where the peace talks were held on the day.

As soon as she got there, she heard the noise of people, and the guards lined up to clear the way, and the people inside seemed to have just come out.Seeing the people from the Xirong Mission leave, she took the badge and entered the gate, and before she stepped into the inner courtyard, she heard someone arguing about something.

The Yan University scholar was fighting with a red-robed official beside him, and he said extremely angrily: "You regard the laws of the country as a trifle's play, and hand over the foundation of the ancestors to others like this. Master Qin, after returning to Beijing, how dare you say what you said today?" Are you responsible?"

The man said slowly: "Lord Yan, don't be so impatient, I am naturally worthy of His Majesty, these things have been handed over to Jiangzhou Mu, the chiefs of the three counties, and the lords of the mission, how can I be counted as the only one?" What about human responsibility?"

Yan Muyun pointed at her and said: "Good! Good! Good! You are very good. When His Majesty's order comes down, I want to see how to deal with this traitor!"

"The dignified prince actually wants to go to Xirong Royal Court to obtain the peace agreement in person, Mr. Qin, you are so daring!"

The man sneered and said: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. If it is so that we can achieve a hundred years of peace between our country and Xirong, His Royal Highness Xin Wang's trip will be considered a great achievement. Bachelor of Linguists, I really don't understand. If you keep obstructing, what will happen?" And for what?"

"I heard that Mr. Qin studied under Yan Shoufu, and seeing him today, it really is a famous teacher who gave birth to an excellent student!"

After Yan Muyun finished speaking, she threw up her sleeves and left. The man was obviously very angry and scolded a few words in the courtyard. Qingping heard them vaguely, but the words "Believe in the king and go to Xirong in person" made her feel nervous Da Luan, she wanted to get closer and listen carefully, but someone covered her mouth and dragged her behind the rock. She wanted to struggle, but Yan Mu Yun happened to walk by panting, and she didn't dare to move for a moment.

After Yan Muyun passed by, the man whispered in her ear: "Keep quiet, follow me."

The two came out from the back door and walked on the narrow path between the courtyards. Qingping raised his eyes and looked at Chu Jun. She was still wearing a grand and complicated court dress, gold and jade belts, and a light purple gauze outer robe. Graceful countenance.

Qingping didn't know how to speak, Chu Jun took her hand and walked slowly, said: "Did you hear it just now?"

So she nodded, stopped and looked at Chu Jun: "Your Highness is going to Xirong, why?"

Chu Jun looked at her somewhat messy sideburns, stretched out his hand to fix her, and said: "Yes, the request made by the Xirong Mission this time is this one, asking me to personally lead the mission to the Xirong King's Court to fetch the elder The peace agreement signed by the Ten Clans in person."

Qing Ping tightened his grip on her hand, and his face was a little ugly.Dai Guo and Xi Rong have been at war for several years, and the enmity from more than a hundred years ago has not dissipated. Anyone can know that sending an envoy to Xi Rong is definitely not a good thing.Otherwise, how could Yan Muyun go through ups and downs and return to China after eight years.Chu Jun held her hand instead, and said softly: "What's the matter? It's nothing, I went to get the documents and came back."

Qingping tried to calm herself down, let go of her hand and said, "I just heard that the Grand Master Yan said that we have to wait for the order of the sage... the son of a daughter does not sit in danger. As a prince, how can you take such a risk?" Do such a thing at such a great risk?" The more she wanted to calm down, the more incoherent she became, "It's not that there are no people in the court, there are people in the six departments! Why do you want to go—"

Her words stopped abruptly, Chu Jun smiled, touched her face tenderly, and said, "You know, it's not just this reason."

"I have a secret edict, and I need to ask the golden tent for life pills." Chu Jun hugged her, and patted her back lightly. Only then did Qingping realize that she was trembling, even her teeth were trembling. She asked in her ear: "...do you have to go?"

Chu Jun hugged her gently, with deep eyes, he hugged her a little bit tighter, and said, "Yes."

Qingping hugged her back tightly, as if she was a cloud that would be blown away in the evening wind if she wasn't paying attention.

The alley was silent, Chu Jun pulled her along, the two of them clasped hands tightly, the palms were soaked in sweat and did not let go, Qingping only hoped that the road would be longer, longer... .. She had never prayed for anything like this before, but now, like a devout believer, she prayed for all the gods she had never seen or heard of one by one.

She is like a wandering soul, her steps are slow, as if she is over a thousand catties.The spring night wind blows gently across her face, but like the frosty wind in December, it makes her feel extraordinarily cold.Looking at the darkness in front of her, her heart seemed to stop beating gradually, as if she was really a wandering spirit.

But things were not as expected, finally at the entrance of the alley, Chu Jun brought her out, it turned out that this is a market, people come and go, and there are hawkers and merchants.She was like a soul returning to her body, the three souls and six souls buzzed her body, the pain was so painful that people could not speak.

Chu Jun brought her into the carriage, but Qingping broke free from her hand and jumped off the carriage.She didn't know where the strength came from, but she was able to laugh out loud. It was the fearlessness born after the boat was overwhelmed. Things have gone to the extreme, and there is no way out. It's better to think about how to move forward, so as to find a new path.It would be even more useless if she felt sorry for herself and abandoned herself. The dim lights of the market were reflected in her eyes, like the sky full of stars on a spring night.She stretched out her hand, and Chu Jun bent down to pull her.But she just kissed her lips lightly.

The kiss was as light as a feather, she said: "There will be a way."
