Due to the martial law during the war, everything was quiet when the carriage passed through the streets. Torches and lanterns spread in all directions. Some lit up, but then disappeared into the quiet ocean of the night.
"How are you going to explain this to your wife when we get back?"
"Kneel on the washboard."
"What?"
"Oh, I have a way …"
On the way back to Xiliu Street, Chen Fan and Ning Yi chatted casually. The heartless guy in front of him seemed to be taking pleasure in Chen Fan's misfortune and was genuinely amused by it. Ning Yi couldn't see any other emotion on his face.
"Speaking of which, why are you so happy? You've fought with Da Biao so many times. Don't you have any … something? "
"What?" Chen Fan tilted his head and looked at him. Then, he smiled and waved his hand. "Everyone thinks there's something between us, right?"
"Go to Xiliu Street and ask around. There are more women named Liu Yifei than there are women named Liu Yifei on the street."
"What Liu Yifei's woman …" Chen Fan frowned. Then, he got the gist of it. "Uh, actually … after fighting for so long, it's not right to say that I don't have any feelings for her. But I really only see her as a younger sister. She's too awkward. I used to like someone else, but she's different."
"Cui Hua from next door …"
"She knows martial arts and is married now."
"Could it be that she's the daughter of a government official who knows martial arts and hit it off with you when they were young. Her father didn't agree, so you rebelled or something like that …"
"That's not right." Chen Fan frowned and then waved his hand. "I'll tell you. Come here and I'll tell you. Don't tell anyone …" As he spoke in a low voice, the curtain on the other side of the carriage bulged. Chen Fan kicked the driver of the Tyrant's Blade Camp. "If you dare to eavesdrop again, I'll fight you!"
After that, he whispered into Ning Yi's ear, "Sister Qian 'er … If you dare to tell anyone, I'll kill you."
Ning Yi was stunned for a while. "Which one?"
Chen Fan leaned over and said, "Mandarin Duck Blade, Sister Qian 'er."
Only then did Ning Yi realize that he was talking about the Mandarin Duck Blade, Ji Qian 'er. Although the woman was considered the youngest among the group, she was almost thirty years old, and she always looked like a village girl. Although she was very friendly in the Tyrant Blade Camp, she was no worse than a man when it came to making jokes and telling dirty jokes. She didn't expect Chen Fan to have such a heavy taste. Chen Fan leaned over and explained in a low voice. He looked quite pleased with himself.
"When I first learned from Master, I was still young. Sister Qian 'er was also young and valiant. When I went to Tyrant Saber Manor, she enthusiastically taught me martial arts. Her knife technique, tsk tsk tsk … it was fast, ruthless, and powerful. Women should be like that. Moreover, after a few years, she couldn't beat me anymore. But at that time, she was already married. But … you don't understand. She used to be very powerful. At first, I couldn't even take two moves from her knife. When I defeated her, it was really … tsk, I will remember that feeling for the rest of my life. "
He lowered his voice and gestured excitedly. "Also, did you notice that Sister Qian 'er has an oval face and a very sharp chin? If you want to marry someone, you should marry someone like this. Watermelon has a round chin. It's not that she has a big face, but it's not sharp enough. Also, Sister Qian 'er has two sharp knives. Those are the knives used by women. Watermelon has such a big knife. It's scary to see her as a woman. I see her as a younger sister, or a younger brother … "
After saying this, he pinched his mouth. "But then again, if you don't look at the knife beside her, you don't have to like a sharp chin. Watermelon is quite pretty. After fighting for so many years, I know her very well. If she didn't really like you, I don't think she would have saved you in the Golden Palace like this. I used to think it would be a pity if she really married Lou Jingzhi. Now that she is with you, I won't let the fat water flow into the fields of an outsider. But about your family … Hehe, you should settle it yourself. Good luck. Haha … "
After saying this, Ning Yi couldn't help but heave a sigh. On the way back to Xiliu Street, there was a faint murderous atmosphere. Although there weren't many people in sight, the sentries were actually getting nervous.
This was to protect the safety of Su Tan 'er, Xiaochan and the others. Ning Yi was well aware of this. Although Liu Watermelon was just a young girl, she might be in a state of emotional turmoil after saying those words in the Golden Palace. But when she thought about it, she still predicted what might happen and took measures to deal with it.
When he got out of the car at the gate of the small courtyard, the long street was quiet. When he pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, Su Tan 'er, who was sitting on the stone bench under the parasol tree, stood up. Her eyes lit up, and then she looked a bit anxious when she saw Ning Yi coming in. The moonlight was lonely, and the shadows of the trees were crisscrossing. The figure looked a bit lonely, but when she saw the injuries on Ning Yi's body, she hurried over.
"Don't run, I'm fine."
Su Tan 'er was already five months pregnant. Even under the winter clothes, her belly could be vaguely seen. She came over to help Ning Yi, and Ning Yi also helped her. He closed the door and patted her cheek. "Why are you sitting in the courtyard?"
Su Tan 'er checked the bandaged or patched wounds on his body. She gave him a complicated smile and then lowered her head. Ning Yi looked around and saw that Lu Hongti had also appeared at the door of the house. She pointed at the surroundings, indicating that someone was watching them.
The wounds on Ning Yi's body were patched by Lu Hongti later. Although they were not light, they were not serious. The couple did not say anything. When they returned to the room, Chan 'er and Juan' er brought hot water and tea. Although they were uneasy and suspicious, they left quietly. Su Tan 'er wiped Ning Yi's face and said softly, "You said that there was nothing else. How did you end up like this …"
"I was unlucky … Not exactly. Actually, I was quite lucky. But what happened next … was a bit unexpected. "
"But there's no other way."
"Sort of … there's no other way." "There's no better way …"
In fact, Ning Yi did have some less effective countermeasures, but it was inappropriate for him to say them at this moment. After killing Bao Daoyi, he decided to leave the countermeasures to Liu Watermelon, because under such circumstances, he might have been able to escape unscathed if she protected him with her life. But it was not his style to wait for death. In a hurry, he could only think of a backup plan.
That was, if Watermelon's efforts could not completely protect him, Lu Hongti would visit Fang La with her real identity and pretend to be a member of Tian Hu's force. In Ning Yi's opinion, although Lu Hongti had always been in the north, since her master was so powerful, there might be people in the southern martial arts world who knew about her. In addition, with Lu Hongti's own skills, as long as she showed them, her appearance would have a certain amount of weight.
At this moment, Hangzhou was surrounded, and all kinds of information could not get in or out. It was impossible for Fang La's military department to completely confirm the relationship between Lu Hongti and Tian Hu. At this moment, coupled with the strength of the Tyrannical Saber Camp, he would definitely be protected. After the city was breached, everything else would be meaningless.
Of course, he could not tell his wife about this. Su Tan 'er was a very meticulous person. In fact, when she heard the news that Watermelon protected Ning Yi in the Golden Palace, she had already considered many connections and knew that some things had to be done. But being forced might not really make her feel comfortable. But this matter could not be regarded as her man's fault. At this moment, her feelings were quite complicated.
"In fact … they might come and force me to separate from my Husband …"
After a long silence, she talked about some trivial matters, checked her wounds, and applied medicine. It was not until she was about to go to bed that she squatted in front of Ning Yi and whispered this matter. It was not suitable for pregnant women to stay in this position. Seeing her look up, Ning Yi hurriedly helped her up.
"Don't think too much. The city is surrounded at this time, and we can't separate."
Su Tan 'er was not a silly woman. She could not give a completely perfunctory answer. But if there were no troops surrounding the city at this time, Fang La could have sent someone to force Su Tan' er to write a divorce letter and then send them out of the city. But in the situation where the city was surrounded by troops, this kind of thing was not very meaningful. At most, it would be very difficult for Fang La to satisfy them. Su Tan 'er nodded and fell asleep on the bed. "I … even if it's fake, I don't want that kind of thing to happen, but …"
At this point, she finally stopped talking. She buried her head in Ning Yi's shoulder and said no more. After such a long silence, when Ning Yi thought she might fall asleep, she whispered again, "Husband, you … we don't want you to marry into our family in the future …"
"Huh?"
She whispered in a daze, "Anyway … anyway, we've discussed this before … If there's really no other way, we'll … we'll call off this engagement now … Regardless of whether it's right or not, when we return to Jiangning, you can marry me again … If there's really no other way, then that's all we can do."
It was a little difficult for Su Tan 'er to say these words. After all, Ning Yi married into the Su family. Although they were very close now, if they really changed Ning Yi's identity, Su Tan 'er might feel a little strange. This was human nature. "Why can't it be the way it is now?" "Perhaps the way it is now is also very good." "He has always married into our family, and I have always respected and loved him. There's nothing wrong with that …" At this moment, saying these words could also be considered a way to convince himself. Ning Yi patted her back, "It may not come to this. Now I am very curious about how Liu Watermelon will talk to me about this tomorrow … Let's talk about the rest when the time comes."
However, Liu Watermelon's showdown with him did not wait until the next day. Not long after he went to bed that night, someone knocked on the door, "The Villa Master has returned from the Imperial Palace, and invited Mr. Ning to discuss some matters."
At this time, it was almost midnight. When Ning Yi put on his clothes and went to the mansion, the lights on the road were already dark. In the courtyard of the main house, only Liu Watermelon's study was faintly lit. He walked all the way in and saw the girl in a white dress sitting in front of the desk, looking like she was dealing with official business. She lowered her head and did not look at him. Then, without any cadence, she opened her mouth, but not in a deliberately hoarse voice, but in a casual and cold female voice.
"Sit down. Such a sudden thing happened today, and everyone has been busy for the whole day. I guess you are all very tired, so I will make a long story short. It is not your fault. I can't do anything about what happened in the Golden Palace. You are responsible for so many things, and you do your best. Since we are … comrades, I will definitely protect you. Your wife and family, I will definitely do my best to protect their safety, but there are many troublesome things, you also know. In three days, we … we will get married … "
Although she kept a straight face and did not look at Ning Yi, when she said this, the girl still paused. She sat there as if she was frozen for a long time, and then put down the brush in her hand.
"This matter, I also can't do anything. Your family … your wife, may … cough, in any case, you deal with those things yourself, I, I will go and deal with the other things, is there a problem? "
Ning Yi looked at her for a long time, and nodded, "… Oh."
Liu Watermelon also nodded fiercely, "Then it's fine, let Uncle Nan handle the marriage matters, it's not early, you should go back first."
"… Oh."
Ning Yi resisted the urge to laugh in his heart, but at the same time, he found it rather intriguing. He turned around and walked towards the door, but when he reached the door, he heard a gentle female voice behind him.
"Hey, Ning Liheng."
"En?"
When he turned back, the girl had already raised her head to look at him from behind the desk, and there was a hint of confusion in the depths of her eyes, "You … I know this matter is actually very … messy. Do, do you have anything to say? "
Ning Yi looked at her, "Marriage … Try to make it as simple as possible."
"En."
"But … the Tyrant's Blade Camp still needs to be lively …"
"En."
"What happens in the future, we will see."
"En."
"This matter, actually …" Speaking up to this point, Ning Yi had actually racked his brains, but then he paused and said, "Thank you, and … I am a little sorry."
"Heh." The girl laughed, then waved her hand in front of her, as if she had suddenly let go of something. "It's fine." Then she looked down at the things on the desk, "You can go back first."
A long time after Ning Yi left, the young girl raised her head from behind the desk. Then, her head slowly fell forward, and her forehead knocked on the surface of the desk. "Ah!" She let out a soft sigh, and her big eyes blinked, blinked ….
That night, when she climbed into bed and hugged the quilt, the girl's gaze was a little difficult and complicated. Looking at the faint starlight outside the window, she was about to cry.
"Daddy, I am going to get married … What should I do …"
Then, on the second day, the complicated wedding was held in the Tyrant's Saber Camp with great fanfare …
*****
I realized that I always missed the first day of the month when I asked for monthly votes in the past, for various reasons, but the first day of the month always seemed a little hard to write. However, I still made it on the first day of 2013. The end of the world is finally over, I wish everyone all the best in the new year ^ _ ^
I recommend a book out of friendship. It's called "The Season of Blooming Flowers", and the author is called Jumping Snowball. I was the one who named the book. According to the author, it was because I named the book that no one read her book. Let's not talk about the quality for now, I can't let the logic of "me naming the book = no one reads it" come true, so I gave it a hard push. I can't guarantee whether it will be good or not. She gave me the first draft to read, but I scolded her badly. After she rewrote it, she didn't let me read it … But for those who read female novels, why don't you give it a try?
