Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 44: The Sun and the Moon Mix in Xiaoxiang (3)
The faint moonlight reflected in the curtains, a swan goose flew towards the Milky Way, and the sound of cicadas came from the grass outside the window. In the embroidered building in the backyard, the lights had long been extinguished, and there was no sound in the building. It seemed that the people inside had already
After falling asleep, a few people who had been hiding behind the tree poked their heads out to look at the window of the embroidery building. After waiting for a long time, they walked out quietly.
Several people gathered together, whispered in lowered voices, and dispersed after a while. As soon as they left, the window of the embroidery building was opened, and Lu Ning stared at the departing figures with a watery face, and his brows twitched slightly.
She thought for a moment: It was not what she wanted to use such a method to test the loyalty of her brothers. But if she continued to pretend to be deaf and mute and kept silent, she would really have trouble sleeping and eating.
But she also understands that if she continues to shield and indulge, this cancer will get bigger and bigger, and sooner or later it will break out. When that happens, it might lead to a catastrophic disaster, and even King Yi may not be able to do so.
Blessed. The other brothers in the caravan would never be able to make a comeback. She would destroy the caravan with her own hands.
Although he did not want to doubt the brothers around him, such helpless temptation was precisely to protect other loyal brothers and the future of the caravan. Thinking of this, Lu Ning's mood eased a little, and the heavy feeling of guilt,
It was somewhat alleviated.
Holding a jar in her arms, she jumped up to the balcony lightly, leaned against the window lattice, opened the mud seal, and took a swig. She had known that it would be a sleepless night, and she could only resist the harshness she would face tomorrow by enjoying herself in hardship.
Bloody.
As everyone knows, the window paper on the third floor across the street also has a shadow of the same silence printed on it. Holding a cup of hot tea, Yu Fengjin slowly opened the window and looked at the girl in the embroidered building quietly.
He couldn't see the look on Lu Ning's face clearly, but he could guess her mood at this time, and he understood her helplessness and entanglement better! Because no one in the world understood better than him, and he couldn't believe anyone and was always worried.
You feel like the people around you may kill you at any time.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and Yu Fengjin closed the window at the same time.
Yan Rong swaggered in with a wine jar in his arms, lay down on the couch, and said jokingly: "Brother, are you really not going back home in the future? Are you planning to stay here forever?"
Yu Fengjin smiled, turned around and sat on the couch, and said: "There are so many things going on these days, I don't have time to go back. But after you reminded me, I also found that I haven't been back for a long time, and it's time to go back and stay for a few more days.
If we stay here, Fang Yi will have to think too much..."
Yan Rong tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, and said teasingly: "Brother, I think you don't tell her directly about Fangfang's life experience to let her know that you can't accept her truth. It also saves you from being in a dilemma now and be careful everywhere.
She’s still full of complaints, so why bother?”
Yu Fengjin fiddled with the chess pieces on the table and sighed quietly: "It's not the time to tell her yet. It's not a big deal for me to be more careful. I owe her this, and she deserves to be tortured like this!"
Seeing his dim eyes, Yan Rong just sighed, then changed the subject and asked: "Brother, why do you want to help solve the internal affairs of the caravan? Don't you always hate nosy?"
Yu Fengjin raised an eyebrow, looked at him with a half-smile, and asked, "Do you think this is nosy?"
Yan Rong was stunned and asked with a smile: "Could it be that brother wants to interfere in this matter and has ulterior motives?"
"Of course." Yu Fengjin smiled lowly and explained patiently: "Because of the friendship that the Lu gang leader gave his life to rescue last time and his apology for being implicated in the Pingyang Hou case, I should help her. And since, since
We decided to cooperate, so we must also show our sincerity to them."
Yan Rong pondered and nodded, then asked: "Then let's do what the Lu Gang leader said?"
Yu Fengjin nodded slightly and said softly: "She knows her brother best. We don't understand the affairs of the world, so just listen to her arrangements."
"Okay, I understand." Yan Rong sat up straight and asked again: "By the way, brother, after I put the memorial back that day, Ruan Lang hurried back not long after. When he came in,
, I didn’t go there. When he came out, I pretended to be drunk and walked over to say hello to him. He only said he was here to get something, but didn’t say what he was getting. However, from the look of him, it didn’t look like he had discovered that the memorial had been taken.
It’s been moved.”
Yu Fengjin laughed softly: "If he is
An unintentional mistake should not leave any mark. However, even if he suspects that someone has moved, he does not dare to question you or me. Therefore, he will definitely observe our movements closely in the past few days. Once he finds any signs, he will
We will intervene in time!"
"Then what should we do?" Yan Rong frowned and exclaimed in a low voice.
Yu Fengjin's expression remained unchanged, and she simply asked: "What should I do? I didn't want to do anything."
Yan Rong was startled, his eyes suddenly widened, and he asked in confusion: "Do nothing? Don't you think that brother doesn't want to take care of Xia Shoufu? Even Xia Shoufu can't do anything about the things mentioned in the memorial!
"
"Control, of course we have to take care of it, we have to take care of it! But we don't need to take care of this matter ourselves!" Yu Fengjin took a sip of tea and suddenly became serious: "If you want to take down Zhang Heng, you must deal with Pingyang Marquis.
To completely overthrow the Marquis of Pingyang, Xia Yunqing is the most important person. At this moment, anyone can be overthrown, except Xia Shouxu! Therefore, we must help him escape from this disaster."
Yan Rong sighed and shook his head, and said helplessly: "Brother, I am not going to pour cold water on this matter, this matter is really difficult to handle! Unless this memorial is intercepted and not allowed to be seen by the emperor, otherwise, as long as someone reads this memorial in public,
Memorial, even if the emperor wants to let Xia Shoufu go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against the ancestral system!"
Yu Fengjin smiled nonchalantly and said: "Whether this memorial was written deliberately or not, when it got into Ruan Lang's hands, it means that the Wang family and his son already knew about it. With Wang Su's character of being determined to retaliate, and his treatment of Xia
He will not let go of this opportunity to pull him down from the position of chief assistant in one fell swoop. Therefore, Wang Su must have planned to make this memorial so that the emperor can see it and make things worse.
The best thing is to force Xia Yunqing to admit defeat. If not, then force the emperor to drive him away."
Yan Rong's eyes darkened, he patted his thigh and said in a deep voice: "In this case, we have no room to interfere at all! This matter is closely linked and very strict. Someone must have planned it early! Besides, even if
We want to take action, but the people from the Imperial Guard are keeping an eye on us. Even I can’t make any big moves, let alone you? Even if you ask others to do this, we still have to have the opportunity to make arrangements!"
Yu Fengjin raised her finger and pointed at him, smiled and joked: "So, this matter depends on the ability of the prodigal son. Whether you can contact this key person is up to you!"
Yan Rong was startled, rubbed his nose, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, it seems that brother has already arranged everything. Okay, then even if I find this person, he is willing to come forward to help Xia Shoufu, but I am afraid of this matter
Even the emperor is helpless, how can he save Xia Shoufu?"
Yu Fengjin took a deep breath and smiled lightly: "Who said there is no solution to this matter? Don't forget, although this is an ancestral system, there are exceptions to everything. There was an example when the late emperor was alive.
The key to this matter is not how big the fuss is, but that the final decision rests with the emperor alone. As long as he understands that Xia Yunqing cannot leave, then no one can overthrow this Xia Shoufu!"
Yan Rong suddenly understood, nodded with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Brother, you always seem to be indifferent to worldly affairs, but every move of everyone in the court seems to be unable to escape your eyes. No wonder Emperor Yu
After all these years, I still can’t trust you.”
Yu Fengjin smiled, with a rather helpless expression: "You can't understand the affairs of the court by standing there and participating every day. Because others use their eyes, I use my heart and brain."
Yan Rong narrowed his eyes and laughed softly: "Then I'm curious! Brother, since you want to save Xia Shoufu, why don't you just win him over? Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone? I know he is difficult to win over, that's
Because most people in the court cannot catch the eye of Xia Shoufu. But my brother is different. If you try to win over him, he may not be tempted."
Yu Fengjin sighed and said helplessly: "It's not a matter of whether he is tempted or not, it's that I am not moved by Xia Shoufu at all. I admit that Xia is an upright and good man, and the court also needs such a good man. Or rather
, if it were not for Xia Yunqing's existence, Beiyu's empire would have been on the verge of collapse. It was precisely because Emperor Yu saw this clearly that he allowed him to continue to be the first assistant even though he disliked Xia Yunqing.
But people like Xia Yunqing are too sharp and angular.
He is too clear-minded and has a strong temperament. He is too provocative and has too many enemies. Even though he is fearless, standing next to him, I dare not take risks easily. What we have to do is something that urgently requires patience.
, it may take a long time to hibernate and wait. At this time, the most important thing is not who is smarter or more upright. What is needed is absolute loyalty and longevity!"
"Long life?" Yan Rong looked at him in surprise. This answer surprised him.
"That's right." Yu Fengjin stared at him closely and said word by word in an emotionless voice: "The key to this game is to see who can survive safely to the end, whether it's you, me, or us in the future.
As more and more people gather around me, they must have the ability to survive. But I can't see this kind of ability in Xia Yunqing. He always does things like a moth to a flame, and he may not know that one day.
, the fire burned him to death. Therefore, although we admire such people with all our hearts, we can only stay away from them..."
Yan Rong slowly lowered his eyelids and stopped talking, but he had to admit in his heart that what he said made sense: indeed, the person who survives to the end will be the winner of this game!
But no one knows whether they will live to see the sunrise tomorrow!
