Chapter 503 Family Pen Pal (Part 1)
The green fields stretch, and the sunset gradually turns orange in the foothills. On the hillside, several carriages are parked on the roadside not far away, and there are people following them from far and near. Ning Yi and Su Tan'er sat down on the grass slope and watched Xiao Chan and Juan'er Xing'er playing around Ning Xi.
“Have you... thought it through?”
“Whether you have thought it over clearly, I don’t want to put you here. I had made plans before. After the performances in the two buildings , coming soon.”
“How about Yongping?”
"You should be ready for the exam."
"I... originally thought you wouldn't come so early. Because the secret report said that Gao Mu'en was looking for trouble."
"It's all Mr. Ji from the prime minister's office helped to solve the minor matter, and the remaining soldiers came to cover it up with water. It won't be a big deal."
"Who is Xiaopin?"
"Huh? ”
"I remember the first time we met Xiao Pin, the double heart word Luo Yi..."
The woman paused every word, but Ning Yi's face was full of doubts, as if he had just thought of this at this time.
"That... Xiaofeng refers to people?"
"Ah?"
"I thought it referred to something else. In the whole poem , I think these two sentences have the least artistic conception..."
"...Ms. sir, you are such a scoundrel."
"There really is no one named Xiaopin..."
The couple joked about this poem for a while, and Su Taner pinched Ning Yi. After all, he didn't say Li Pin's name in the palm of his hand, otherwise Ning Yi's face might turn green. After a while, Ning Yi mentioned the matter of returning to Jiangning.
“I brought a few people over to stay in Kiyuan for a while. I can help you with some things. It’s an experiment... When I return to Jiangning, it’s time to pay homage to my father-in-law. In fact, this time Heading south, there may be one more thing...morning Two days in the capital, Chen Fan came to see me."
"Chen Fan..." Su Tan'er naturally still remembered the name, so she repeated it. After a moment, she frowned, "He... …At this time…”
"It's about Fang Qifu." Ning Yi looked at the sunset in the distance and whispered, "He hopes I can help..."
After saying this, he looked at the hesitant expression on the face of his wife beside him. He shook his head and smiled: "Of course I can't help."
Su Tan'er's worried expression eased slightly, she lowered her head and thought about it, still frowning: "But Is it...can you reject it? Do you...want to reject it?"
"It's not a question of rejecting it or not. I want to return the favor, but in this case, whoever touches it will die. Chen Fan can understand it once the background is explained clearly."
"But...my husband, you still plan to do something, right?"
Su Tan'er stared at him, Ning Yi sighed and put his arm around her shoulders: "I hope...even if things don't work out, they can at least save one life, Chen Fan, and the one who came this time...Liu Xigua I won't consider meeting them. Fang Baihua and his gang may not want to see me, and I don't intend to have any contact with them. Maybe at most... I'll see if it's possible to meet Fang Qifu. Come on, if I can do this, I will do my best."
He looked at the child who was clapping his hands and screaming not far away, and paused: "This family has half of you, so. I want you to know this... We have a child now, and I won't mess around. "
"I don't want to... stop you from returning the favor. If it were me, I would pay it back... but. I'm always a little worried about such a big thing." Su Tan'er leaned on Ning Yi's shoulder and smiled reluctantly. Women always think more about these things than men, but after a while, she calmed down. Come down: "Besides persuading them to retreat, is there any other way?"
"There are a few accounts over in Jiangnan, maybe we can make a fuss about it. I don't know the specific situation, but it can be To inform Chen Fan that they know." Ning Yi told his wife the accounts and the rumors about the treasure left by Fang La. "These accounts cannot be used to convict, but in many cases, there is no need to go to court to litigate. The people behind it are direct descendants of Fang La. Chen Fan and the others can always find some room for maneuver if they try to find the accounts."
Su Tan'er nodded.
Soon after, the setting sun burned out its afterglow on the foothills, and night fell. A torch was lit beside the carriage, and a few rays of light slowly traveled from the hillside to the small county town not far away, and then merged with the sparse lights in the county town. Due to the arrival of Ning Yi and others, it was no longer difficult to arrange housing in the small courtyard. Tan'er arranged the female family members in the courtyard, while she and Ning Yi stayed in an inn in the county town. When a couple reunites, there is always a lot to say and a lot of things to do, but these things are not enough to be explained to outsiders.
In the same night, lights were also shining in the foothills hundreds of miles south of Kihara. This area is not a barren area. There are towns and villages of various sizes scattered among the rolling foothills and hills, with official roads and rivers interspersed among them. Many villages are also relatively wealthy. In the recent period, due to the news of the misdeeds of the remaining bandits in Fang La, the security in the surrounding villages and towns has become a little tighter, and people from the green forest and rivers and lakes who come and go have been more carefully checked. But after all, it is a fairly peaceful area on weekdays. Even so, the surrounding environment is not as tense as in Shandong. For ordinary people, they may not be able to notice the changes in the atmosphere in the living area.
Located near a mansion at the foot of a remote mountain, the dusty Chen Fan, led by his fellow rebels, passed through several secret posts before he saw the man who looked tired due to injuries, but whose eyes were still alert. Fang Baihua. The two of them didn't say much. After a brief greeting, Fang Baihua looked at him, Chen Fan shook his head, and the middle-aged woman nodded indifferently. For her, such a result was originally expected.
As for Ning Yi, she has heard some things and met people before. It is one thing that Chen Fan, Xigua and others are entangled with him, but if we talk about this incident of Fang Qifu If the other party can solve it, that would be too impressive for Ning Yi. And at this moment, she didn't want to pursue anything about Ning Yi's original matter, it was meaningless.
“...I went to inquire about this matter about the master. The people involved have different backgrounds. The first person who wants the master’s life is Wang Fu, and then there are several big families in the capital and other places. , respectively..."
Chen Fan whispered about this matter, but Fang Baihua gently raised his hand to interrupt him: "I know."
"Then this matter now..." Chen Fan himself could save Fang Qifu died because of this incident, but he didn't want too many people to be buried with him, but it was difficult to speak out his words, his lips were grinding, and there was a trace of blood in his eyes. Fang Baihua looked at him and shook her head.
"Chen Fan, your master...actually doesn't want you to participate in this kind of thing. You are right to think so. If you take people away at this time, no one will blame you..."
Chen Fan stared at her.
Although he is a disciple of Fang Qifu, in the past, there was a distinction between superior and inferior in Fang La's army. Chen Fan did not hold a very important position. His relationship with Fang Baihua was not that of Liu Xigua. So close. Therefore, Fang Baihua's eyes looked cold at this time. She was putting her own life and death aside and did not need anyone to understand her indifference.
"You go down and meet Xigua. These days, she has a bit of a temper. You young people, please be more talkative. There is no need to mention other things."
Chen Fan nodded, and then Leave.
In the recent period, Xigua is facing the enemy who killed his father. On the other hand, his companions may not understand the Ba Dao camp that left Hangzhou when the city was destroyed. There are reasons for being more temperamental. reason. When Chen Fan found her, she was sitting on a big rock on the hillside outside the village courtyard in a daze, holding her big knife in her arms. When she saw Chen Fan coming, her eyes moved slightly, but then they became colder.
"I saw him." Chen Fan said, "But there's nothing he can do."
Xigua's eyes moved at first, but then returned to being cold again. Chen Fan said: "He can't come to see you, but he hopes you can take the overall situation into consideration and leave here."
The girl holding the giant blade tilted her head and looked sideways at the moonlight in the sky. After a moment, she said: "He knows that even if he comes here, he can't persuade me."
"He asked me to bring you a letter. ." Chen Fan took out a letter from his arms and originally wanted to hand it to the girl, but looking at her expression, he finally just placed it on the stone next to her. In fact, neither of them may feel good about the current situation. Chen Fan went to Beijing to look for Ning Yi with hope, but when he came back, he had to tell Fang Baihua, Xigua and others to leave. When Chen Fan went to Beijing to find Ning Yi, Xigua might also have a little expectation in her heart. There was nothing she could do at this time. Although she was mentally prepared, she was of course sad and disappointed.
After Chen Fan left, the girl sat there, ignoring the letter next to her. She held the big knife and put her cheek against the handle. It wasn't until the mountain wind started blowing away that the letter was about to be blown away that she caught it.
The moonlight above the mountainside is clear, but such light cannot be used to read letters. The girl sat for a while, put the big knife on her back, and walked towards a small house outside the manor not far away. In the past few days, many of the people who rescued Fang Qifu did not like her, and she did not like to see those people. Today, when Fang Baihua used her power to place those people in the manor, she did not bother to go there at all, and only talked with Du Sha and others. Choose to live nearby.
She walked to the door of the shabby little room, inserted a half-burned torch, and then lit it. She sat casually on the ground under the eaves with a big knife in her hand. When she took out the letter from the envelope, the paper There were densely packed words on it, which made her feel a little angry.
She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Although she is also literate, her writing skills are actually not enough. Sometimes I get a headache when I read some letters from literati and scholars. Ning Yi's writing skills are very high. What's the point of writing such an article to show off if you can't understand it yourself. However, such emotions disappeared without a trace after reading a few words.
"Agua, words are like faces. It has been almost a year since we parted ways in the south. I don’t know what the family around you has become now, and I don’t know if you are still the same as before. So willful... I really want to come over to see you, but the situation doesn't allow..."
The title at the beginning of the article was one that she disliked very much before, but her displeasure only arose for a moment. , because the sentences that followed were all weird vernacular that she could easily understand and had even never seen before. Under the firelight, holding a big knife, the girl who looked a little thin raised her lips slightly, and then smiled unconsciously, because through the paper, she seemed to see the man she broke up with last year. He was there. Over there, he spoke to her casually and gently. This feeling made her feel a warmth she had not felt for many days. She followed the paper and kept reading... (End of Chapter)
