Chapter 685 685: Duplicity (Part 1) [Two in One]
"Husband, madam..."
Wei Shou looked at him reluctantly and refused to move his steps.
Rui Ji just looked at Wei Shou quietly with a cold expression.
"Then please wait outside the hospital. Madam, if you need anything, call out and come immediately..." Wei Shou turned back three times at a step to see Rui Ji reluctant to leave, and Chu Yao to drink in confusion. No matter how hard he dawdles, this road will still come to an end.
The woman serving Ruiji closed the door ruthlessly.
Wei Shou put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth in front of the door. The more he thought about him, the more worried he became. Finally, taking advantage of his height, he mounted the horse, raised his head and stretched his neck slightly, and could barely see the movement in the courtyard over the courtyard wall. Chu Yao behaved openly. He did not close the doors and windows when reminiscing with Rui Ji, but he set up a voice to prevent eavesdropping. Wei Shou could only see what the two said.
I can see but not hear, and I feel very itchy.
They...
What on earth did they say?
It's nothing, just reminiscing about old times.
Looking at Chu Yao's gray hair and his face as young as ever, Ruiji's long and white fingers trembled slightly, and after a long time she asked softly: "I haven't seen you for many years, how have you been doing, brother Yu, these years?"< br>
Chu Yao said: "Very good."
Rui Ji But he shook his head: "You have a temperament that always reports good things but not bad things. When I saw you, I felt that you had suffered a lot. If you can't see Yuanyuan's rough character, how could I not see it? But since you don't want to tell me, , I won’t ask any more questions.”
She had seen him in his most high-spirited state.
Based on her understanding of Chu Yao, combined with the news that Wei Shou had learned in the early years, if it hadn't been for many changes, he wouldn't have been able to become what he is today. But Chu Yao refused to mention it. She couldn't expose anyone's wounds. Rui Ji asked the maid to bring tea to Chu Yao.
Ask: "Brother Yu, have you started a family?"
Chu Yao almost spilled the tea.
He said unnaturally: "Not yet..."
Rui Ji said in shock: "Brother Yu is not married yet at such an age, is it because he doesn't have the right one, or is it because of someone else? ”
Chu Yao coughed twice to stabilize his mood.
"The great cause has not been accomplished, and I have no intention of having a family."
Ruiji said slightly annoyed: "I heard the excuse you mentioned from my unsatisfied son a while ago. It's exactly the same, with the same words. The words are not bad. Brother Yu is not sincere when he fools people..."
Chu Yao's expression was almost tense: "Sister..."
There was a hint of pleading in his voice.
They haven't seen each other for many years, and they urged her to get married when they first met. It was somewhat unfriendly. He was already his age, so he was left to fend for himself.
When Rui Ji heard the address, the smile on her face grew.
"Brother Yu, are you still shy about this?"
Yes, in terms of relationship, Rui Ji is Chu Yao's sister.
To be precise, it should be my cousin.
Ruiji's mother and Chu Yao's mother were cousins, and they later married a man from the same village. It's just that the two sisters are not very lucky. Ruiji's father is a gambler and Chu Yao's father is lazy. The two sisters supported each other for a while.
Have children and take care of the housework.
Treat the few acres of Susukino fields as if they were ancestors.
Chu Yao is not the eldest son in the family, but Rui Ji is the eldest daughter, seven years older than him. When Chu Yao was still in his infancy, Ruiji put him in a backpack and followed his mother and aunt to help with farm work. Until Chu Yao was two years old, he walked steadily.
Chu Yao’s mother told him these things.
There was no such cousin in his memory.
When Ruiji was nine years old, she already had a good appearance. Her father lost all his family property and was cheated and owed a lot of debt, so he could only use his wife and daughter as collateral. Her mother refused and committed suicide by hanging from a beam, but Rui Ji could not escape. She fled to Chu Yao's house but was captured.
The gambling house sold her to Yahang at a high price.
At this time, a senior official spread the word that he wanted to raise a group of singers. Seeing that Rui Ji was "good in appearance", Ya Xing stuffed her into that batch. Fortunately among misfortunes, Ruiji was chosen. The high-ranking official was very elegant and showed off. Seeing that Rui Ji had talent, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to train her. Whenever there are distinguished guests in the house, Rui Ji must come out. Whenever a guest shows surprise in his eyes, is impressed by her appearance and talent, and wants to spend a lot of money to buy her, the senior official will proudly wave his hand and refuse: "My Rui Ji, a priceless treasure." 】
There are also guests who promise the position of concubine.
The senior official did not answer directly, but just asked: "Is there a beautiful jade here, hidden in a casket?" Looking for good people and selling them? 】
To put it simply——
These guests are not the businessmen that high-ranking officials are waiting for.
The senior official looked at Rui Ji with an enigmatic look.
【Wait for the time and move, wait for Jia to sell. 】
She was held up on a high platform and chased by people's eyes.
Rui Ji was almost blinded by the illusion of prosperity and ease. Until she was eighteen years old, a senior official found Rui Ji and gave her an important task, sending her to a certain Lord and Pai Xungui in the Northern Desert. As a concubine. This honorable man had some friendship with the high-ranking official, and even the distinguished guests who had been entertained by the high-ranking official had taken a fancy to Rui Ji.
She was terrified.
As smart as she is, she often attends various private banquets with high-ranking officials, so she naturally knows the virtues of Bei Mo. The peace faction and the war faction in the Northern Desert are either the east wind overpowering the west wind, or the west wind overpowering the east wind. Who is strong and who is weak depends on current needs.
Sooner or later the Lord Harmony faction will be beaten out of power.
By then, what will she do if she is trapped in the Northern Desert?
The senior officials never told her, and she didn't know. She only knew that she had everything, but she had no right to refuse.
The only good thing is that the Northern Desert noble liked to study the most, and Ruiji was treated favorably and favored, so those two years were considered comfortable. After the North Desert Xungui fell, Rui Ji was re-rewarded to another man as his legacy.
Rui Ji had nothing in common with him, and he hated the literati's behavior the most, and he only treated Rui Ji as an ordinary concubine. Those two or three years were peaceful, not comfortable, but neither did I suffer. Until a ray of light suddenly broke in...
She seemed to hear her dead heart beating again.
Chu Yao said: "It's not that I'm shy..."
"It's just that I didn't expect that I would be forced to marry at such an age."
"Brother Yu has reached the point where he laments his age. Shouldn’t it be time for my sister, who is seven years older than you, to prepare a coffin for herself? She always looked old-fashioned when she was a child..." Ruiji She smiled and let Chu Yao go, no longer mentioned his marriage, and talked about trivial matters. They only talked for a quarter of an hour. The maids came in to refill the lamp oil. Seeing that Chu Yao was either smiling or listening attentively, she said helplessly. , "Brother Yu is really calm, much better than you were back then..."
When he privately advised her to help, he went straight to the point.
Chu Yao shook his head and said: "It's not that I can't hold my breath this time, I'm just thinking about how to open this conversation with my sister..."
Ruiji thought for a moment and understood.
"Who does Brother Yu work for now?"
Chu Yao said: "Shen Tang, Shen Youli."
Rui Ji has no impression of this name, Wei Shou There is no one like this in terms of influence that he has talked about in his mouth, but the person who can make Brother Yu fall in love must have advantages that ordinary people cannot replace. She said firmly: "Is this Mr. Shen also in the Dragon Slaying Bureau?"
Standing opposite her husband Wei Shou.
Chu Yao nodded: "Yes."
"Looking at the mountains from a distance, they still look like new every year. However, the human feelings from a short-term perspective are gradually different from the past...Brother Yu, today is different from the past." Rui Ji smiled gently. Converge and clean little by little, "At that time, I had no worries and I helped you just to help yourself. Now that I have been married to Yuanyuan for more than 20 years and have children with him, why don't I help my husband and instead help you?"
Rui Ji looked at Chu Yao.
He looked seriously and said: "Brother Yu, Chu Yao!"
The previous "Brother Yu" was still warm.
The last "Chu Yao" was only Leng Li.
She said: "I just think you are here to catch up with me, and I will not mention this matter to Yuanyuan. There is no need to mention what happened today!"
Chu Yao waited patiently. After she finished speaking, she said: "My sister helped me back then. To help myself, now I am helping Wei Yuanyuan. "Rui Ji said: "How can this be true?"
She helped Chu Yao break through the Chaoli Pass where her husband was stationed. Are you actually helping Wei Shou? But Rui Ji was not eager to argue, she just looked at Chu Yao, wanting to hear what he had to say. Chu Yao naturally came prepared. He just asked Rui Ji: "Sister, do you still remember the key points of the battle in the Northern Desert?"
Rui Ji nodded: "Of course I remember."
Chu Yao: "The situation back then was so similar to today."
Rui Ji didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned slightly dark.
Bei Mo is different from the high-profile Shi Wu. The former understands the essence of humble development and has accumulated a lot of strength in those years. The coalition of several countries that fought against the Northern Desert suffered a loss at the hands of Ruiji's second husband, and could not conquer it for a long time.
With Rui Ji's help, Chu Yao designed to make the Beimo side suspicious of the defender, forcing the defender to switch from defense to offense, disrupting the defensive rhythm. Beimo voluntarily gave up its home field advantage and competed with the coalition forces of the northwest countries for military formation. At first, Beimo was full of confidence because they had already thoroughly studied the military formations that each country was good at. They never thought that Chu Yao would bring big changes...
This is as painful as when a candidate spends a lot of money to buy the answers to paper A, only to find that the test paper is paper B when he goes to the examination room.
Bei Desert was ravaged again after a brief resistance.
Being an experience pack for the younger generation of the northwest countries.
And now -
Chu Yao asked Rui Ji: "...Does sister think Zheng Qiao will be less suspicious than the Northern Mo King back then? In fact, whether it is replacing Wei Yuanyuan or Use force to force It is not difficult for Wei Yuanyuan to send troops. Putting aside this point, if Wei Yuanyuan really cannot defend and delays the coalition forces by occupying the natural danger, the result of doing so will inevitably be that he cannot hold on to Li Pass..."
Ruiji disagreed with this point: "The food line is safe from harassment and interception by enemy soldiers in the rear. How can it not be defended?"
"No matter how safe the food line is, there must be food to deliver." ." Chu Yao stood up and looked at the moonlight outside the window, and clearly saw the head lying on the wall that refused to leave. He turned around and said, "The coalition forces are here. We can't afford to delay, but the people's livelihood in various places is good. Before the troops are sent out to join forces, the spring plowing is done well. On the other hand, Zheng Qiao's soldiers are like locusts passing through. Even though Wei Yuanyuan can defend Chaoli Pass, this is not what Zheng Qiao wants. What he wants is to completely eradicate the coalition forces and avoid future troubles forever!"
We can't hold on to food, so Zheng Qiao puts pressure on us to send troops.
Once you give up the natural danger and go out to attack, you will inevitably be defeated.
Rui Ji lowered her eyes to consider the pros and cons.
Chu Yao spoke softly: "Sister, I don't want to destroy your hard-earned stability. It was the same then, and it is the same now!"
Rui Ji lowered her eyes for a long time after hearing this.
She smiled bitterly and secretly: "In this case, why don't you let me come forward to persuade him to surrender? Wouldn't it be better to do it in one step?"
Chu Yao shook his head: "He has never beaten him. It won’t fall.”
I learned this a long time ago.
Ruiji looked at the lamp oil that was about to burn out.
Softly said: "Brother Yu, let me think again."
The two of them whispered for a long time. The heads on the wall of the courtyard were a little impatient in waiting, and their resentment was so strong that even Li Gui saw him. Even scared.
Finally, another quarter of an hour.
Rui Ji stood up to see her off, and then Chu Yao came out.
When the courtyard door opened, Wei Shou couldn't wait.
He said: "Chu Liangliang, do you want to harm me from Ari's side? Let me tell you, the relationship between our husband and wife is as strong as gold. You can't shake it with a few words or a few words! You I didn’t know any of the harmful things that I did back then.”
It was Rui Ji who was asked to help forge evidence.
Wei Shou is a love brain full of Xiaoma literature. In addition, he has also disliked his so-called adoptive father for many years. For some reasons, his adoptive father likes to recruit sons everywhere to expand his power. Wei Shou Shou and his adoptive father can be regarded as an example of "the father says goodbye and the son smiles".
He acquiesced in some of Chu Yao's actions.
But he doesn't allow these methods to be used on himself!
Want to try a routine a second time after using it once?
Ah, bah!
Who would have thought that Chu Yao said: "I, Chu Wuhui, always like to treat people with sincerity. Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. How could it harm you?"
The sincere appearance caught Wei Shou off guard.
Wei Shou didn't believe it: "Talk these words to ghosts!"
Only ghosts can understand ghost words!
Chu Yao's eyebrows were filled with helplessness: "Since Yuanyuan doesn't believe it, alas, it's getting late today, so I'll leave first!"
Wei Shou hummed, "Come if you want. , Just leave if you want."
Who knows that Chu Yao is pointing at himself.
"It's just the incarnation of Dao Wenqi, what's the use of Yuanyuanliu?"
Wei Shou: "...???"
He turned his face instantly: "When?"
< br>In Chu Yao’s eyes, is he the kind of duplicitous villain?
You actually played [Golden Cicada Escapes] with him?
Chu Wenqi transformed into Yao. He looked at Wei Shou in a very good mood and said, "When you just came down from the courtyard wall."
Wei Shou: "...Chu Wuhui, I will kill your ancestor!" ”
This incarnation of literary spirit was scattered with a slap.
After that, he looked at Rui Ji and said, "Madam, no matter what he said, you must not believe his lies!"
Rui Ji nodded.
Wei Shou asked: "What did he say to you?"
Rui Ji: "Let me help him and force you to give up your defense."
Wei Shou snorted: "He really has a beautiful idea! He doesn't know that we are husband and wife? Why should he give up his defense? If you have the ability to attack by force! Without the morale bonus of the fighting generals and insufficient siege troops, let’s see what he can do to break through..."
Because of the existence of fighting generals, the two armies rarely carry large amounts of such as Siege equipment such as rams, ladders, catapults, and trench bridges. These are all consumables with low defensive power in front of brave warriors. The coalition forces are now using local materials to make them, and they won't be able to get them out for a while. Even if they are driven out, once those things are damaged, the next siege will be delayed.
Rui Ji said: "I somewhat agree."
"Agree with his nonsense?"
Rui Ji said: "Zheng Qiao is not a good master."
Wei Shou complained: "Oh, he still wants to say this? Anyone who is not blind can I know! Literary scholar, if you keep turning over these wheels, can you come up with something new next time?”
Under the moonlit night, the sound of horse hooves gradually approached.
Shen Tang’s eyes lit up as he waited anxiously.
"Wu Hui! You can be considered——"
Shen Tang rode a motorcycle to meet him.
Raised his waving hand and froze.
She...
If you read that correctly...
I seem to see a beautiful woman on Chu Yao's horse? ? ?
_(:з ∠)_
Chu Liangliang: Yuan, this is called "the hatred of seizing your wife"...
[There is a beautiful jade here, Yun Chun And hide it? Looking for good people and selling them? 】——The Analects of Confucius·Zihan
The translation is "If I have a piece of beautiful jade, should I hide it in a cabinet, or should I find a merchant who knows the goods and sell it."
PS: As for Chu Yao's nickname of "Brother Yu", his surname and first name were given after he was sold as a schoolboy, and "Brother Yu" was considered a nickname.
