Chapter 773: A glass of bitter wine

Outside the small peach blossom building, dozens of riders swept like a whirlwind and headed straight to the gate of the garden. Everyone came wearing navy blue cloaks, covering their heads and faces tightly. The several guardhouses at the gate of the garden suddenly became nervous. With a sharp whistle, several powerful crossbows appeared on the whistle tower. The crossbow arrows flashing with cold light aimed at the cavalry. At the same time, countless black-clothed special agents appeared on the wall, and the first-grade bow in their hands was also erected on the strings. They could shoot.

The dozens of riders stopped the horses at the same time, as if they had been previewed in advance, without any warning. After the front suddenly stopped, the knight behind them almost also slapped the horses at the same time. With the long neighing sound, the man stood up, but the rear hooves were stuck in the local area like nails. Seeing the person riding like this, a captain on the guardhouse was shocked.

"Who? What's the matter when I'm here late at night?" He shouted sternly, "Taoyuan small military restricted area is not allowed to enter without permission."

A knight came out, and the war horse ran to the gate, lifted off the cloak, and said in a deep voice: "I am Li Wen, open the door!"

Li Wen raised his face and the captain above the whistle saw clearly. Isn’t it Li Wen and General Li, the important official of Dingzhou and the general of the general?

He trotted all the way down from the whistle, opened the door, and saluted with a snap, "Secret Service of the Supervision Office, Yingyang Captain Song Jingtang has met General Li."

Li Wen nodded, "I have something important to ask President Qingfeng. Do you know if your President has rested at this time?"

Song Jingtang shook his head, "Reply to General Li's words. After the dean came back, he did not rest. He was talking to Lord Ji and Lord Mingyan at this time. I will go back to the dean immediately and ask General Li to wait."

Li Wen turned around and looked at the knight behind him. Seeing Li Qing shaking his head slightly from the person, he said, "No need to repay you, you are still on duty here. I know where your dean is, I can just go find her."

"Yes! General Li asked."

More than a dozen people mobilized horses and entered the Taoyuan small building. Looking at the people who disappeared in front of them, Song Jingtang couldn't help but wonder, General Li was the lord's personal bodyguard. Today, the lord's wedding, why did General Li come to the Taoyuan small building? Suddenly, he remembered that one of the knights was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He almost burst out and screamed out. He covered his mouth suddenly and looked around alertly. Seeing that no one noticed him, he pretended to be nothing.

My God, my lord is married today. It’s the wedding night. Why did he come to Taoyuan Xiaozhu? Thinking of some private rumors, he couldn’t help but sweat. He decided to forget this matter immediately.

"How is Shangshu Huan's injury healing?" Qingfeng asked.

Ming Yan said: "Young Master Shang has finally gotten better after so long and can walk around now. It's a pity that a handsome young man in the past has now become unrecognizable and his face is like a ghost. How to deal with this person is also a problem. We are preparing to report to your lord and ask your lord to make an idea!"

Qingfeng pondered for a moment, "How is his mood?"

"Full of hatred, he witnessed the men of Zhifangsi killing his mother and old servant. He hated Zhifangsi to the core. After getting better, he kept shouting to take revenge and see his lord, but how could we let him go out casually? He could only put him under house arrest first. Now this former scholar got up every day, not studying, but pestered the guards to teach him martial arts! He would not go to bed until the moon reached the middle of the sky."

"Did he know that his father has betrayed Dingzhou?" Qingfeng asked.

Mingyan shook his head and said, "He didn't know that those who monitored him were all members of the Flying Eagle Brigade who participated in the rescue operation. He witnessed the tragic situation of his family. Although Shang Haibo surrendered to the enemy, everyone was very sympathetic to him. Besides, there was no permission, who dared to say something more?"

"He would satisfy him if he wanted to practice martial arts and asked him some good players to teach him, but he was old and it was unlikely that he would want to practice martial arts. Let's do this, find someone to teach him how to assassinate, hide, poison and other means, and use the fastest time to train him into a familiar intelligence officer. As for how to arrange him, I will think about it first, and then decide after discussing with the general." Qingfeng said.

"Yes!" Mingyan nodded and said, "Does the Dean want to send him to Luoyang in the future?"

"Look, let's talk about it!" Qingfeng said: "First observe him, train him, and then reveal the news of his father's surrender to the enemy to him little by little. In this way, you arrange it, first pretend to let him know some unintentional news, let him guess and analyze it by himself. He is a scholar and is very smart. He will definitely come to a conclusion and look at his reaction. Let's talk about it later!"

"I understand!" Mingyan nodded.

"Next, let's talk about Qingzhou..." Qingfeng picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly looked at the door, suddenly widened, and his whole body was frozen there.

Seeing Qingfeng's reaction, Mingyan and Ji Sichen both turned around strangely. What made Qingfeng, who had always been calm as a mountain, lose his composure. After seeing it, both of them jumped up. A person who should never have appeared there at this time was standing at the door, looking at Qingfeng.

That person is Li Qing.

The room was silence as if dead. Qingfeng's body trembled violently, his lips trembled, and his face became paler. Mingyan and Ji Sichen were stupid. Of course they knew that the lord came here at this time, but left the bride Princess Yanran, who had just married.

With a bang, the water cup in Qingfeng's hand fell to the ground, shattering. The sound of shattering awakened Mingyan and Ji Sichen. They looked at each other and bowed at the same time, "I have seen the Grand Marshal!"

Li Qing waved his hand, "No need to be polite, don't disturb your discussion!"

"No, we are over, we are ready to say goodbye!" Ji Sichen reacted a little faster and said quickly. Looking at Mingyan, who was still a little slow, quietly stepped on her toes, Mingyan finally woke up completely. The two hurriedly retreated from the room one by one. Seeing Li Wen not far outside the door, they both showed their inquiry gazes at the same time. Li Wen shrugged and smiled bitterly at the two.

Li Qing slowly walked towards Qingfeng. Qingfeng grabbed the sand towel from the desk in a panic and hurriedly covered his face. Before he had tied it up, Li Qing had already come over and pulled down the gauze scar unreasonably, carefully looking at the eye-catching scar on Qingfeng's face.

"General!" Qingfeng reached out to cover the scar. He had just raised his hand and was caught by Li Qing.

"General!" Qingfeng's tears flowed down. He raised his head and looked at Li Qing.

The fingers gently stroked the slightly raised scar, and a feeling of pity flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

"General, I'm ugly!" Qingfeng said sadly.

"No, you haven't become ugly. You are the same as before, even more beautiful than before!" Li Qing reached out and hugged Qingfeng into his arms, and gently stroked Qingfeng's slightly trembling body.

He buried his head in Li Qing's arms and hugged Li Qing's waist with his hands. Qingfeng closed his eyes and breathed deeply the familiar aura emitted from Li Qing's body.

After a while, Qingfeng suddenly pushed Li Qing with both hands and pushed away the defenseless Li Qing. Qingfeng took a few steps back and looked at Li Qing: "General, how can you appear here at this time? You should be with Princess Yanran's wedding night at this time. Go quickly!"

"Why did you come back today? Didn't you let you rest for a while on Lianshan Island?" Li Qing asked staring at her.

Qingfeng turned his head and said, "General's wedding, of course I have to rush back to watch the ceremony. Even if I can't go to the scene, it would be nice to take a look from a distance."

"Why is this?" Li Qing sighed, "You should know that my heart is as good as yours, but there are some things that we cannot let ourselves do, and we are no longer pure us. We have to bear too much, so we can only give up."

Qingfeng murmured, "My heart is as yours." My eyes suddenly burst into tears, "General, when I walked out of the Peach Blossom Xiaozhu and walked back into the gate of the Supervision Office, I knew that I would never be able to appear in front of everyone as your woman. I am really unwilling to give up. However, for the sake of your great cause, I can only swallow this glass of bitter wine." I turned around, covered my face with both hands, and sobbed in a low voice.

Li Qing was silent for a moment, walked over and hugged Qingfeng from behind, "It's just a pain for you."

The backyard of the Regent's Mansion, bridal chamber.

Baoer sat there crampedly, looking at Princess Yanran sitting upright on the other side of the table, and then listened to the sound of drums coming from outside. Qiqi Aiai said: "Madam, it's already the fourth day. It seems that the Grandmaster's business will not be finished for a while. You should take a break first. I have been busy for a day today and must be very tired."

It was okay for Baoer to stop talking. As soon as he spoke, Princess Yanran suddenly burst into tears. Looking at the other party whose tears fell like broken beads, Baoer suddenly became panicked and quickly took a handkerchief and handed it over, "Madam, Madam, did I say the wrong thing? Why are you crying?"

Princess Yanran ignored Baoer and cried for a while before calming down, looking at Baoer and said, "Sister Baoer, has the Grandmaster gone to President Qingfeng's place?"

"No, the general is dealing with business. I heard that it is a matter from the north, which is quite urgent."

Seeing that there were sweat beads on Baoer's forehead, Yanran shook her head and said, "Sister Baoer, you have never told a lie, look at you being nervous. Actually, as soon as you come over, I knew that it must be the prince who must have gone there. It was the prince who asked you to accompany me!"

Baoer shook his head repeatedly, "I, I'm not nervous, I often lie. When I was a child, I often lie to my parents. I..." Suddenly, he was speechless and couldn't continue. Seeing Baoer's embarrassment, even though Yanran was very sad now, she burst into tears and laughed.

"Sister Baoer is so interesting. Sister Baoer, have a drink with me for a bar!" He reached out and picked up the wine pot from the table and filled the two cups with wine.

Baoer picked up the wine glass with a little embarrassed, "Madam, don't call me sister. You are the wife, the handsome man's main wife. How dare I call you sister? Just call me Baoer."

Yanran smiled and said, "Sister Baoer is older than me and has been by Dashang for a long time. Of course I have to call you sister, and you are so kind to me." He raised his neck and drank the glass of wine in one sip.

"Slow, slow down, this wine is very strong, it is not an ordinary sweet wine!" Baoer said hurriedly.

"This wine is so bitter!" Yanran's eyes were a little straight, and she murmured: "It's so bitter, so bitter!" As the murmur sounded, the person also slipped under the stool.
