Speaking of this, Wen Li glanced at Mr. Ruo, the two exchanged glances, and then said: "At the Eight Music Meeting in the eleventh year of Hua Chu, my sister was ordered by the head of Nan Lin to meet the eldest son of the Nan family.
Making an engagement—does my sister still remember this?"
Hearing these words, Qingqing felt a pain in her throat, as if a mouthful of blood was about to well up.
"My lord, I don't know about this."
"My sister was concentrating on the competition back then, so naturally she didn't know much about it. But the so-called matchmaker's words were ordered by your parents. This marriage contract was made by Head Nan personally for you two. Of course, you can't go back on it. What's more, Head Nan once said
I ordered my subordinates to distribute invitations to all sects in the Jianghu, large and small, just to wait for Nanlin and Dongshan to rebuild their old relationship, so that everyone in the Jianghu can have a cup of wedding wine. The grandness of this event is unheard of, how can my sister not know at all?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master... I, Senior Linghu, did not agree at the time."
"Hmph, if it weren't for your Linghu tribe being at odds with Si Qi, which made everyone in the world unhappy, how could there have been trouble later and the marriage couldn't be successful?" Wen Li couldn't help but glare at Qing Qing and forced him to
De Qingqing lowered his head, "It stands to reason that the Dongshan clan killed the first masters of Nanlin and Xihu one after another, and burned the Baiyin Qin that Master Yang had worked so hard for so many years in the Northern Desert. It should have been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
No one will be left behind. And you know the reason why your sister can still stay with me, right?"
Qingqing didn't speak, but looked straight at the ground.
Seeing Qing Qing's behavior, Wen Li narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly: "As the saying goes, 'man's destiny is destined'. Since my sister and Mr. Nan have now returned to West Lake and become the right-hand man of me and Mr. Ruo, then this
The fate is of course self-evident. Afterwards, I asked Tian Keju to choose an auspicious day and fulfill the last wish of Master Nan, so that my sister and General Nan can get married."
Qingqing suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief. Wen Li used General Shen's daughter as a threat, humiliated and tortured Qingqing in front of everyone, that's all - why can he think of Head Nan now?
The engagement that had been made privately before was coming? Qingqing felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, and tears burst out of her eyes:
"Master, today's Lin Qing and General Nan have forgotten their past and are no longer the two people they were before..."
"Why, you two can't remember anything, can you be the last wish of Master Nan when he is still alive?" Seeing what Wen Li was going to say, Ruo Dong sat aside quietly and suddenly said:
"Master, let's stop here."
After hearing this, Head Wen reluctantly stopped and gave Qing Qing a look of gritted teeth.
Then Ruo Dong turned to look at Qing Qing, and there was no room for doubt in his tone: "Are you going to thank yourself, or should I find two disciples to knock you down and kowtow?"
Qing Qing slowly fell to the ground and uttered a few words with difficulty: "Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness."
When leaving the tent, Linghu Qingqing felt that she had lost all her strength. She had no memory of whether she walked out on her own or was dragged out by someone. But she had not returned to the banquet tent.
I feel like walking alone in the vast desert, step by step, not knowing the direction, but not stopping.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had been following Mr. Ruo since he didn't know when.
The gentleman's broad back was shrouded in a black robe. At this moment, he seemed to be a guide in the desert, leading Qingqing step by step in the yellow sand.
The two walked for a long time, until they were far away from the camp and could not hear any noisy people around them. Mr. Ruo suddenly turned around and asked Qing Qing:
"Why would you rather beg the Jimo family than beg me?"
For a moment, Qingqing didn't realize the meaning of these words. He was suddenly startled, but he just said silently: "Sir, I can even find out that I hid a note in my sleeve. Is there anything else I can ask for, sir?"
"?" Then he chased after him, and then asked: "Have you already arranged this step since you discovered the spy planted by Xia Qishi?"
After hearing Qing Qing's words, Mr. Ruo was not angry at all, but smiled: "You guessed wrong this time. That teahouse was the place where twelve generals met before, and it was indeed investigated by a few capable disciples of Tiankeju.
It's clear. But it was not Dong who discovered the note hidden in the thrown pebbles." Seeing Qingqing's disbelief, Mr. Ruo just said calmly, "Dong was in another car at that time.
Even with a pair of eyes, I’m afraid I won’t be able to detect it.”
Qing Qing then hesitated: "Who could that be?"
"You should be able to guess it. Except for a few idle guards and maids, Li Zhiyan who is on the cart with you doesn't have this ability." After saying this, Qingqing finally had the answer in his heart and took a deep breath.
His tone was: "It's Nan Jiayou." Apart from the people in the car at that time, only Jiayou rode back and could see it most clearly.
Ruodong nodded: "I am your husband."
"Mr. Ruo!" Qingqing couldn't help shouting, her voice trembling slightly, as if her throat was about to be scratched.
"This is your destiny, you must accept it." Ruo Dong's words were less harsh and more persuasive, "You are no better than you are on Lirong Mountain now, no matter how big a disaster you cause,
Leader Linghu is protecting you. On the contrary, now it is your turn to protect others, to guard the child left by General Shen. If you want to achieve your goal, you must pay responsibility. And there is no price, so-called responsibility
What’s the point?”
At this point, Mr. Ruo's tone returned to its previous unquestionable tone: "You and Nan Jiayou have already passed the age of hairpin ceremony. In other words, you two, and Head Wen, Jimo clan
, they are all children who grew up together from the Eight Music Club. But you should also know by now that Jianghu is not the Eight Music Club, and victory or defeat cannot be determined by magic!"
"If you, Linghu Qingqing, don't have the courage to accept your fate until now, how can you do what you really want to do in ten or twenty years?" After saying that, Mr. Ruo paused and sighed.
He said in a tone, "It doesn't matter if you want to keep your wooden flute for yourself, or if you want the Shen family's child to live, there is no room for negotiation on the engagement previously made by Head Nan. In other words, when you return to Mi
Before Yuhu, you must marry the current General Nan."
Qingqing gritted her teeth and forced herself not to shed any more tears, but she still couldn't help but tremble all over. Qingqing couldn't refute a single word of Mr. Ruo's words. On the contrary, Mr. Ruo felt a little warm when he did so.
To protect oneself in front of the door.
Linghu Qingqing understood that he could no longer be willful.
The two walked in silence for a while, until the cold wind gradually picked up and the night turned cooler. Mr. Ruo stopped, took off his robe, put it on Qingqing, and whispered:
"It's time to go back."
Qingqing couldn't help but say: "That child..."
"Everything is fine. The child was born without breast milk. An Ge found a ewe from a neighbor's house and raised it one bite at a time. The child was said to have a tough life and his body has always been weak, but he survived. Now, I can turn over on my own."
After hearing this, Qingqing finally felt relieved. For such a result, marrying Nan Jiayou could be regarded as living up to General Shen and his wife. However, if the master knew about it, he would probably be sad. In the end, he still violated his original promise. An oath, right? Thinking of this, Qingqing subconsciously looked up at the vast night sky, wondering which star was Ziqin looking at her in the sky.
Master, if this disciple does not change his original intention, he will only continue to live until the day he sees the destruction of West Lake with his own eyes.
Qingqing was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Mr. Ruo suddenly say: "After you get married, you don't have to stay with the master. The master has agreed to let you go back to heaven and take care of the Shen family's children. "
"really?"
"Of course." Seeing that Qingqing didn't calm down for a while, Ruo Dong patted Qingqing's head in a funny way, "Firstly, An Ge and Siyuan are busy with various matters and really don't have time to spend the day. Daily care. Secondly, I don’t want you to stay with the leader like this all the time. The leader has really gone too far these past few days..."
At this point, Mr. Ruo suddenly stopped and said nothing. Qingqing heard Ruo Dong's words and vaguely felt a warmth welling up in her heart. But then she lowered her head and thought to herself: from the head of the family When I return to Tiankeju, who knows if I have stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den?
After all, you are under someone else's roof, and you need to be careful in everything.
Thinking of this, Qing Qing couldn't help but muster up the courage, raised his head and asked: "If you let the disciple raise the child, sir, won't you be afraid of the disciple running away with the child?" Ruodong stopped, turned around, and smiled softly:
"Qing Qing, if you really want to leave, this unrelated child will never be able to keep you."
"how do I say this?"
"You are risking everything for a child now. Don't you just feel that you are ashamed of General Kong before and want to make up for it on Shen Xuanming?" When Qingqing heard this, the alarm bells rang in her heart, but she couldn't hear it. The husband continued, "It's good that you can do this."
"What do you want your disciple to do, sir?"
"I hope that one day, even if this child grows up, you will no longer think about revenge, blood hatred, or bury yourself alone somewhere in the world. At that time, Li Rongshan will become your The memories in life are just memories after all.”
Hearing this, Qingqing blurted out without hesitation: "That's impossible."
Ruo Dong was not impatient, and still said softly: "Nothing is impossible. Since you can stay in West Lake for four or five years, it means that the hatred in your heart has faded a lot. This hatred will eventually be unstoppable. The ground was wiped out and disappeared bit by bit." At this point, the husband turned around and gave a rare smile, "Look, there are no shackles binding you now. Where is the daughter of the Shen family forcing you to stay? ?”
Qing Qing also smiled bitterly and said no more.
For some reason, Qingqing always had a premonition in her heart, as if her life would be much calmer in the future. But that calmness was not a way out, but the biggest test she had to face in her short life.
Three days later, the desert was ablaze with lights and colorful lights, and there were noises of congratulations everywhere. In order to show their respect, the people of the Northern Desert specially cleaned up the luxurious courtyard where the former head lived as a place for the head to marry.
Although there are many differences in the wedding customs between Bei Mo and West Lake, under Jimoyao's instructions, the Bei Mo Ta family kings did not interfere too much and just did their part. The rest,
Everyone obeys Tian Keju’s orders.
Those Tiankeju disciples who were so busy on weekdays and couldn't take a moment to relax, finally had time to relax. That day, everyone was dressed in fine clothes, as if they were lighting up the darkness.
A piece of heaven and earth in the desert.
Qingqing was wearing a dark-colored dress, with a string pattern delicately embroidered on the skirt. This dress was made by embroiders from the Northern Desert who suddenly received the marriage decree from the master, so they hurriedly embroidered it within three days.
He hurriedly made it. Before he got on the car, King Taji suddenly came to him and whispered that the string pattern was embroidered by the head of Jimo himself.
Qingqing suddenly realized that in addition to his helplessness, Jimo's grievances were also mixed in.
Outside the underskirt is Tiankeju's jet-black shawl. The dark color is on the outside and the light daisy shows through, which is unexpectedly harmonious and beautiful. Tiankeju's disciple was granted a marriage by the head of the West Lake, Qingqing knew this meant
What.
Apart from that, Qingqing didn't have any luxurious decorations on her body, except for a blood-red wooden hairpin inserted sideways into her bun. The hairpin was so brightly red that even Qingqing's black hair was as thick as ink.
It can't cover up its halo. This hairpin was sent by An Ge early in the morning——
They are married as husband and wife, and their love for each other is unquestionable.
