The family banquet lasted until the afternoon. Qin Liang met with several more subordinate officials and generals, had dinner in the front hall, and then returned to the courtyard behind the east side.
This courtyard is where Wang Lingjun used to live. It has always been very quiet, and few people come here. However, it has entered late spring in March, and the vegetation in the courtyard has gradually become more lush, and the noise of insects has increased, especially in the evening.
.
Qin Liang felt inexplicably anxious as he listened to the sounds surrounding him.
However, he quickly understood that maybe he felt anxious and nervous, not because of this sound, but because he knew in his heart that Wang Ling was approaching Luoyang. Qin Liang had no way of knowing what Wang Ling and others were thinking at this time.
Qin Liang thought to himself that he had done nothing wrong during this period. While he seized the military power in Luoyang, he was also very cautious, leaving himself room to maneuver around.
But as the critical moment approaches, he will still think more. The situation at this time is still relatively complicated.
Before the battle at Yiqueguan, Qin Liang once advised the generals around him that the matter is already in front of them and there is no need to think too much. It was probably just nonsense. When Qin Liang advised others, he could not say whether he could do it.
However, Qin Liang's current situation has actually improved a lot compared to when Sima Yi was threatened by his enemy.
No matter how the situation develops, it is impossible for Wang Ling to kill his own granddaughter and daughter together? Qin Liang felt better when he thought of this.
Come to think of it, Wang Ling is not easy to touch even Qin Liang. Everyone in the world knows who conquered Luoyang. If Wang Ling did that, who would dare to help him? Judging from Wang Ling's treatment of Wang Ji, he should not be that kind
people.
And without Qin Liang, it would be very difficult for Wang Ling to at least control the palace. Can Wang Ling, who is in his seventies, follow Prime Minister Cao and start a new business to dominate the world? Anyway, even Cao Shuang has no confidence to do it, otherwise Cao Shuang would have been like this
Done.
Therefore, Wang Ling's best choice at this time is to unite the internal forces, otherwise it will only allow outsiders to take advantage of them. Not to mention the internal affairs of Wei State, even the military pressure of Wu and Shu can destroy the ruling party.
Foundation of prestige.
Qin Liang walked back and forth between the corridors, patios and pavilions, as if he couldn't calm down.
Next to it was Wang Lingjun's bedroom. When Qin Liang walked past the door, he thought of the many nights he spent with Wang Lingjun and Xuan Ji here. He also remembered that he once hoped to have a life where he didn't have to worry about precarious life, and could just be with Wang Lingjun.
If Jun and Xuanji stay together, they will be very satisfied for the rest of their lives.
But looking back now, I just feel that things are not that simple. Because everything is a process of movement development. This principle is found in junior high school textbooks.
But sometimes people always have some visions, it doesn't matter whether they can be realized or not.
Qin Liang simply sat down on the stone on the eaves of the door and stepped on the stone slab in the patio. Unlike some people, he didn't pay attention to his manners at all times, and sometimes his behavior was very casual.
He even supported his body with his arms and looked up at the sky. The sun had not completely set, but the patio was blocked by high walls and was already shrouded in shadow. Only the top of the pavilion in the middle still had bright sunlight.
There were people in the courtyard, Wu Xin and the two girls were within sight. They were all quietly watching Qin Liang's posture.
Wu Xin was in the middle pavilion, silently paying attention to Qin Liang. She was actually a girl who was very sensitive to people's emotions and the surrounding environment, but she was very tolerant and didn't like to express herself. Qin Liang sometimes ignored her
she.
Qin Liang looked at Wu Xin and suddenly chatted: "I sometimes think of a convoy driving on a long road."
When Wu Xin heard the sound, she turned to look at him and came closer silently.
Qin Liang thought for a while and then said: "It was surrounded by wilderness and there was nothing. The carriage was extremely bumpy and uncomfortable, so I got off the carriage and wanted to rest for a while, but it turned out that the convoy was moving very fast and I couldn't catch up.
Up."
Wu Xin said softly: "Then we can't rest."
When he first met Wu Xin, Qin Liang thought her voice was hoarse because she suffered in prison. But her voice had always been a bit hoarse, so no wonder she didn't like to talk.
Qin Liang nodded and said, "Yes."
At this time, Wu Xin actually took the initiative and said: "I often think about some strange things."
Qin Liang was always willing to listen, and Wu Xin rarely said these words, so he nodded again and sat lazily on the stone to listen.
Wu Xin observed his face and continued a little embarrassedly: "It's just a dirt road. When it rains, it becomes muddy and difficult to walk. The surrounding area is very dilapidated, with a few thatched houses scattered here and there, and there is a high hill next to the dirt road.
"
Qin Liang asked: "With such details, does this place really exist?"
Wu Xin nodded and said, "I lived there when I was very young. Later, after the school officer Liu Zhao was arrested, my brother and I went back again and lived there for a while."
Qin Liang looked at the treetops and quickly imagined the place Wu Xin described.
Women indeed seem to be more sensitive and delicate, and can always remember some trivial things. Qin Liang can also imagine the woods and speckled sunshine in the old house in Qixian County described by Wang. The road Wu Xin mentioned is also the same.
in this way.
Wu Xin's voice said softly: "That dirt road is not easy to walk, but if you walk along the main road leading to Xuzhou, you can reach the prosperous Luoyang."
Qin Liang turned to look at Wu Xin, as if he could understand her feelings.
Wu Xin looked at him and said softly: "We have never told others that although that place is barren, it is the place where we were born. Even if we can't stay outside any longer, we can still go back there, and the life will be just a little harder.
"
Qin Liang smiled and said: "I will try not to be like Liu Zhao, so you don't have to go back again."
Wu Xin shook his head and said: "I am no longer used to that kind of life. Everything is inconvenient. The mud floor in the thatched house is not clean. There is a lack of water. There are many mosquitoes in summer and autumn. If the general comes to that time, I am willing to be the general first.
And die."
Qin Liang forced a smile again and said: "Things shouldn't be that bad."
He quickly stopped smiling and said suddenly: "When you mentioned a road like that, I thought of a river. Next to the Qin family manor in Pingyuan County, the river was called Mingdu River. When Cao Zhaobo sent people to conquer me,
I also stood by that river for a long time before I became an official."
He seemed to have returned to seven years ago. He remembered that it was raining that day and the river was hazy. He sighed and said, "My mood was indeed a bit complicated at the time. To go to Luoyang, you also have to cross the Mingdu River."
Qin Liang said casually: "But the eldest brother's family has a manor, and the conditions are not that bad."
Wu Xindao: "Who from a wealthy family who is living a good life would be willing to live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife?"
Qin Liang nodded and said, "That's true."
I think his background in the Wei Dynasty was pretty good. Wu Xin's kind of birth, from a class perspective, should be a bit like Qin Liang's hometown in his previous life.
At this moment, Wu Xin's men came from the gate tower, bowed and said: "General, there is a woman who claims to be the general's aunt, and she is outside the gate tower."
Qin Liang immediately said: "Please come in."
The girl said: "Here."
Qin Liang stood up from the ground and glanced at Wu Xin: "Guo Huai's wife should be here for Guo Huai's affairs."
Wu Xin looked indifferent and just responded with a voice from her nose.
