Chapter six hundred and two: estrangement
Such an opportunity was fleeting, so he couldn't help but think twice. Even if he lost half of Dongji Island, it would be better than living under someone else's roof for the rest of his life. He immediately reached a deal with this group of people who had been hiding in the sea for thousands of years.
, secretly ordered him to lead a killer who has been specially trained for many years.
Traveling to various places with the Asura bone that can devour cities, those originally prosperous cities disappeared silently in the night, and the conspiracy continued to ferment in the night. Finally, today, the last Asura bone is about to explode.
The plan is about to be realized!
What about being honest and caring for the people, about having parents who are honest officials? He has endured humiliation and hardship for so many years just to pretend to be patriotic and dedicated in front of Zang Feng so as to win his trust. Those people who live leisurely, how do they know what kind of humiliation he has endured?
How can anyone empathize with him and share the slightest concern for him?
The only person who suffers with him is his wife, whom he used to be close to, but is now a stranger.
Thinking of this, Shu Nian still took the initiative to take the green robe from A Lan, pretending to be casual and said: "Yinyin, do you still remember the Yinxian Mountain where we met? The Cave Immortal Temple on the mountain, I heard
Recently, a man with advanced spiritual practice came here.
Old Taoist Priest, many people have gone over to pray for him! This time you and A-Lan accidentally fell into the water and were a little frightened. Let's do this. I'll find someone to escort you there. While praying, you can also relax. You're a lot better too.
I haven’t gone out to play in years…”
Before Chen Yinyin could reply, the outspoken Ah Lan jumped up with sparkling eyes and excitedly said: "Yinxian Mountain! Okay, ok! Yinxian Mountain is not very far away, and the weather in Jiangling is very good."
No, it always rains from time to time, making it very wet and uncomfortable. Yinxian Mountain is a great place. I went there once with my mother when I was a child. The green mountains and rivers are so beautiful. My mother also said that it is really attractive.
Where are the gods! Madam, let’s go together..."
"I'm not going." Chen Yinyin interrupted the little girl, raised her eyes and glanced at her, her expression even colder than before. She snatched the blue robe from her husband and replied coldly: "There is nothing to pray for, you
Come out, I need to change clothes."
A-Lan pursed her lips in embarrassment and immediately suppressed her voice. She did not dare to speak anymore. She was stuck in a dilemma. Chen Yinyin waved to her and asked: "A-Lan, come and help me. Help me hold my back."
Wipe it with water."
"I'll do it." Shu Nian held down Alan calmly and winked at her immediately. Alan nodded understandingly and muttered an excuse to run away, "I,
I still have ginger soup boiling there! I’ll go over and take a look and give you a bowl to warm you up.”
Before he finished speaking, the little girl had already rushed out of the door as if she was running for her life. Shu Nian smiled slightly, but before his hand touched his wife's shoulder, she opened it forcefully, and he shrank into the bed in disgust.
He shrank and said tremblingly: "No, just leave it alone, I can do it myself."
"Yinyin..." He subconsciously called his wife's name, looking a little dazed. He suddenly realized that since his daughter was sent to the imperial capital, he had not slept with her for many years. Even later, she packed her clothes.
He and the mattress took the initiative to move to the study room. He was speechless to deal with this estrangement and could only silently let it develop. Until now, he even wanted to touch his wife but she refused without hesitation.
"Yinyin." Shu Nian repeated it again. Although he had already retracted his hand, his face suddenly became calm. After thinking for a while, he said: "You should go with A Lan. You don't need to pray for me. Just treat it as a blessing."
Myself and my children.”
Chen Yinyin's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the word "child". She wrung her clothes and clenched her teeth hard, as if she felt the cold air welling up in her bones, so cold that it made people shiver - children, ever since the two children were
After her husband was sent away, she never saw her biological flesh and blood again.
, every time he went to Ziyuan City, she begged and begged to take her with him. Even if he couldn't raise and take care of a pair of children himself, he should at least let his mother take a look at him, but Shu Nian refused without hesitation every time.
She said that it was not convenient for her children to meet guests since she was living in Taishi Zhao's house.
Meeting a guest, meeting a guest? She is their biological mother, and she has become the "guest" in Shu Nian's mouth?
Shu Nian could feel the subtle changes in his wife's emotions and continued to persuade: "I'll ask Ah Lan to prepare before ordering someone to escort you. Yinxian Mountain is not far from Jiangling City and is more than a hundred miles away! Carry more luggage with you on the way.
Let’s get some delicious food and play while walking.”
Chen Yinyin mechanically raised her head, looking at the profound husband in front of her with a pair of eyes like sharp swords. In fact, this man who she loved and hated only lost all his edges and corners only in front of her. Suddenly, Chen Yinyin
There was an inexplicable choking in Yinyin's throat, and suddenly the light in her eyes melted from the snow-capped mountains.
It turned crystal clear. She reached out to hold her husband's hand after a long absence, looked at him carefully and asked word by word: "Shun Nian, do you want to send me out of Jiangling? What exactly do you want to do, Jiangling?"
Will it disappear inexplicably like the twelve cities before?"
Shu Nian was startled, and his fingers subconsciously touched the short knife that had been secretly hidden at his waist. Chen Yinyin looked at him without any concealment, as if she had already seen the little secret in his heart clearly:
"You never let A-Lan and I get close to the pond in the backyard.
What are the things hidden in the surface? Those carps and water lilies look no different from ordinary ones, but I always feel so scary. It’s so scary that the whole pond and the whole backyard are cold and cold. Shu Nian, what are you going to do?
What to do? Tell me, can you tell me?"
"Yinyin, Yinyin, please calm down." Shu Nian just calmly held down his trembling wife, lowered his head in shame, not daring to look again, and replied calmly, "You go out to play, I'll wait for you to come back...
When you come back, I will take back all the things we lost."
"Shunian?"
"Okay, let's change clothes quickly. You'll catch a cold soon." Shu Nian interrupted her question, but this time he didn't extend his hand to help. Instead, he sighed and stood up and walked out. Chen Yin said in his throat.
I was sour and wanted to call him to stop him, but no sound came out.
Is this the husband she is familiar with? Or does she never really understand the person next to her from the beginning?
Walking out of the study, Shu Nian suddenly felt a burst of unexplainable fatigue, which even made him stumble forward a few steps. He quickly held on to the small tree beside him before barely standing still.
When he raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, several strong figures knelt at his feet. The leader asked respectfully: "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay." He came back to his senses in an instant, his pale and tired face showed slight anxiety, and there was no concealment of nervousness in his eyes as he quickly asked, "Have you found the person?"
"Only this one was found." The subordinate took out the military governor's order and handed it over, saying in a low voice, "This morning, I found the aura of the military governor's order in Jiangling City. I immediately led people to hunt him down. However, after several searches, I couldn't find anything.
I could only feel the aura but could not find anyone. Later, I finally found it, but found that the commander's military order was on an ordinary passerby. At this time, the guards in the city had been alerted, and the subordinates had no choice but to retreat first. As for what you said
The commander-in-chief and the young man are both missing."
"Missing?" Shu Nian muttered these four words, and then looked back at the holes in the wooden lattice window that had been smashed by stones. His uneasy feeling became more and more uncontrollable, and he knew that this matter would probably no longer be hidden.
Shu Nian took a deep breath and strode towards the pond, thinking quickly about countermeasures, and then said, "You
Let's go change clothes, and escort the lady away from Jiangling City later, and go south to Yinxian Mountain... No, Yinxian Mountain is still closer. Go south again, and go to Zhecheng for shelter. Don't use an ordinary carriage, use
That kind of mechanical car I bought from Xiqi, you two must protect my wife."
"Yes." The subordinate accepted the order in a low voice and did not retreat. He just looked up at him in confusion. Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, he couldn't help but ask more, "My subordinate is escorting Madam, what should you do? Military.
The governor's body has an abnormality, and ordinary people are not him at all
Although the master has learned some spells, it is still extremely dangerous to confront him head-on. Now that he has brought Jiaolong's princess safely to Jiangling City, let the people from Xuhai handle the rest in person. You
Let’s evacuate together first!”
Shu Nian suddenly paused, already preparing to go to the underwater secret room first, but his eyes flashed when he heard his words, and with desperate persistence, he gritted his teeth and replied: "I won't leave, and I will never leave until I see Zang Feng fail with my own eyes.
"
The subordinate was slightly moved. Although their transaction with Jiangling Yushi was money, he had seen this man's stubbornness over the years, and he had also sincerely felt the lingering sorrow and perseverance in the other person. He pursed his lips,
Instead of persuading him again, Shu Nian's expression suddenly flickered, as if he remembered
Something important happened and he started nagging again: "On the third beam on the left side of the top floor of the tide watching pavilion, there is a sum of money that I have hidden for many years. Go take it out when you pass by. If anything happens to me,
Divide some among yourselves and leave the rest to Madam."
The subordinate nodded and took the order to retreat.
Shu Nian walked to the waterside uneasily and stared blankly at the reflection on the water. He suddenly covered his face and smiled bitterly. It turned out that his face had an expression that he had never seen in so many years, like a dying person.
Lifeless - what was he talking about just now? Has he already been eager to explain his funeral arrangements before the decisive battle has even begun? Such lack of confidence seems to be the beginning of some unknown thing. It turns out that he has been unswerving in his plan for so many years.
, I still can’t stop being afraid at this moment when it is about to come true.
Having reached this point, he has no way out.
Shu Nian sneered and jumped directly into the water. The magic door on the water slowly opened and disappeared again when his figure disappeared. Everything returned to the same as before, with water lilies swaying and red carp playing, except for the two people who had been hiding behind the rockery.
