Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 34
Cui Xin originally wanted to hear Huo Qi continue speaking, but upon hearing Shen Yuning's instructions, his expression became solemn and he retreated.

Huo Qi was anxious, but she didn't dare to disobey Shen Yuning, so she had to watch Cui Xin leave.

In the blink of an eye, there was only one man and one woman left in the huge forest.

Cui Xin had already walked away, Shen Yuning looked at Huo Qi who was staring at the front in a daze, but the words said by the little soldier outside the tent that day appeared in Shen Yuning's mind: Miss Huo's family loves General Cui.

He made a thoughtful look and joked: "Don't look around, everyone has gone away. Is it possible that you really love Cui Xin?"

Huo Qi was brought back to his thoughts by these words.

She was already very dissatisfied with Shen Yuning for dismissing Cui Xin, and now she was ridiculed again, and gave him a vicious look in her heart.However, out of fear of Shen Yuning, she still showed full respect on the face: "My daughter has a serious business to do with General Cui, please Your Highness let me go."

"Oh...it's business," Shen Yuning said in a long-tailed voice, "Don't worry, Cui Xin can't run away, you can see him tomorrow." It's not hard for a smart person to hear that Shen Yuning's words are actually guaranteeing Huo Qi a chance Meet Cui Xin.

A moment of silence.

Shen Yuning said coldly: "The injury on your neck."

"Accidentally scratched by a branch, it's okay, thank you for your concern." Huo Qi touched the wound on his neck with his finger, not paying attention to the wound.Although the wound was deep, it was still within her tolerance.

"Huo Qi, you can't fool me." Shen Yuning approached her, gave her a meaningful look, and said quietly, "The wound on your neck was not scratched by a branch."

Huo Qi was forced by Shen Yuning's strong aura to take two steps back. Seeing that he couldn't hide it from this man's eyes, he had to tell the truth: "It was a dagger injury."

"Who did it?" Shen Yuning's usually cold voice was tinged with annoyance.

Huo Qi always calmly said: "It's a young man I don't know. I don't know his identity. I only know that the other party is for the seal of Zhenyuan Houfu. But don't worry, Your Highness, the other party does not know that the seal has arrived in His Highness's hands. And did not betray His Highness."

Huo Qi said the last sentence very clearly, for fear that Shen Yuning might not hear the point.In fact, it's not that she never thought of betraying Shen Yuning, it's just that the Buddha of Shen Yuning is much more feared than that little servant.If she betrayed him, even if she survived under the servant's hands, Shen Yuning would not spare her. No matter how you think about it, it was not a worthwhile deal.

"They're looking for death." Shen Yuning opened and closed her thin lips, the murderous intent in her eyes was fleeting.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid... this matter has something to do with the nobles in the palace." Huo Qi hesitated for a while, then vaguely expressed his guess.

Shen Yuning twitched the corners of her mouth, and took out a gong from her sleeve and stuffed it into Huo Qi's hand: "Now that their eyes have been fixed on you, I'm afraid they won't let it go. Since the seal is in the hands of the king, there is absolutely no burden for you to bear." Reasonable. If there is a next time, just release Ming Di, and someone from my king will come to rescue you."

Huo Qi was slightly stunned, but heard other meanings from these words.

Hearing Shen Yuning's words, as long as he is out of Fang Mingdi, he can be found. It is estimated that the entire capital has his eyeliner.Thinking of the army called Xuanfu Army just now, Shen Yuning's power is unfathomable.

Her eyes fell on the prayer beads on Shen Yuning's wrist.

It is really shocking that such a ruthless person has become a disciple of the Buddha, as others say.

Huo Qi stuffed Ming Di into his sleeve, and tentatively asked: "Your Highness, does anyone know who it is? Could it be... the same person as the person who set up an ambush today?"

"Yeah." Shen Yuning squeezed out one word.

"Who is it?" Perhaps because he felt that Shen Yuning didn't intend to do anything to her, Huo Qi dared to ask.

Shen Yuning narrowed her black eyes, a dangerous gleam flashed at the bottom of her eyes, her voice was slightly hoarse: "Has anyone ever told you that the more you know, the faster you die?"

There was something in Shen Yuning's words.

"The courtiers are always knowledgeable," Huo Qi understood, and changed the subject, "But, since your highness knows who it is, why don't you just present the evidence to your majesty, and ask your majesty to deal with it? After all, everything your majesty has done today is nothing more than your own. Just keep it."

"I didn't know that Miss Huo also has such an innocent side." Shen Yuning smiled to himself, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Huo Qi was slightly taken aback, perhaps because she had been protected by Huo Ruhai all along, so she also took it for granted that parents would naturally support their children.But he forgot that Shen Yuning was not valued by Emperor Xiaowen, and it would be useless to put the evidence directly in front of Emperor Xiaowen.

After all, once people's hearts are deviated, their eyes will pretend to be blind.

Moreover, she always felt that someone as proud as Shen Yuning might not bother begging for mercy in front of Emperor Xiaowen.It is his style to mercilessly destroy all those who failed him.

She immediately bit her tongue and had to make amends for herself: "I have not yet congratulated Your Highness on the joy of hunting the black lion."

Shen Yuning didn't show any joyful expression on his face, and said calmly: "Looking at the injury on your neck, I am afraid that you will die of blood loss if you don't hold a stick of incense, but you still have the strength to congratulate me?"

Huo Qi thought to himself, this person is really poisonous, he wanted to comfort him, but he was ridiculed, and he kindly fed the donkey's liver and lungs.

She removed the blood-soaked cloth on her neck, and silently tore off another piece of cloth from her body, preparing to wrap it up again.

I don't know if Huo Qi seemed a little clumsy, but Shen Yuning took the cloth strip in her hand, took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve, sprinkled some powder on it, leaned over slightly, and tied the cloth strip around Huo Qi's neck. superior.

"How can I do this to Your Highness?" Huo Qi looked troubled and his body resisted.She always felt that letting Shen Yuning's murderous hands bandage her would always look a little bit inappropriate, and she was not lucky enough to endure it.

"Don't move around." Shen Yuning glanced at her and began to bandage herself. Her long eyelashes drooped slightly at the moment, but her tone was casual: "You can't die until you pay off the king's favor. Life, but gold is very precious."

Warm breath sprayed on Huo Qi's cheek. Looking at Shen Yuning's face, she dazed for a moment and cursed "monster" in her heart.Suddenly, an icy cold touch passed by, and the original burning pain was instantly soothed.

Shen Yuning tied the cloth into a beautiful knot and pulled away again. Huo Qi finally regained his consciousness and said dryly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will not break my promise."

Shen Yuning nodded and said: "It's good to have this awareness. It's getting late, and it's inconvenient for me to show up with you, so let Gouyue take you back."

After finishing speaking, a graceful figure flashed in the bushes behind.

Huo Qi took a closer look and was very surprised. Why does this hidden guard look exactly like the old bustard in Yixiangyuan?
Gouyue's expression is serious, her posture is neat and unrestrained, she is completely different from her previous expression and movements in Yixiangyuan, when she looks at it in a trance in the night, she doesn't feel very similar to the old bustard of that day.But Huo Qi has always had a photographic memory, she was sure that Gou Yue and the old bustard were the same person.

Thinking about it more carefully, her heart was filled with gongs and drums.

It is estimated that the master behind Yixiangyuan is Shen Yuning. I am afraid that he has already seen everything about the love affair.This man is really full of evil. If you deal with him, you will have to count the money for him if you are sold by him.

Huo Qi felt guilty and secretly glanced at Shen Yuning. His expression was always deserted and there was nothing unusual about him.

Gouyue next to her bowed and said, "Girl, let's go."

Huo Qi retracted his thoughts, nodded to himself, and followed Gou Yue back. Fortunately, the journey was safe and no accidents happened again.When they arrived near the camp, before Huo Qi could say thank you, Gou Yue said "Have a good trip, girl" and disappeared from sight silently.

Huo Qi shook his head, feeling quite helpless. The people under Shen Yuning did things a bit like his style. They couldn't say a few words for a long time, and then disappeared immediately after finishing their work, like ghosts.

When she returned to the tent, she saw two servant girls pounced on her. When she looked carefully, they both had tears on their faces.

Ting Yu shouted: "The girl is back. I searched for the girl for a long time and couldn't find her. I thought something happened to the girl..."

Huo Qi smiled lightly: "Don't be nervous, I just looked around here to see the scenery."

"But...what's wrong with the girl's neck?" Leafy asked gloomily.

Huo Qi took a soft breath and touched his neck: "The wound on my neck was accidentally cut by a tree branch. It was my fault, which made you worry. Am I standing in front of you now?"

"Mrs. Luo also thought that something happened to the girl. She is probably still outside looking for you right now." Tingyu wiped her tears with her sleeves.

Huo Qi patted Ting Yu's head: "Go and send a message to Mrs. Luo, and say that I have returned. Because I am not feeling well, I will thank her tomorrow and tell her not to worry."

Ting Yu nodded and ran out quickly.

Huo Qi spread out pen and paper on the desk, wrote a piece of paper and handed it to Ye Feng: "Give this post to Zhang Mazi, the soldier outside General Cui's tent, and say that I asked him to pass it on to General Cui. He'll know how to do it."

Listening to the wind scratched his head: "Girl, isn't General Cui's tent forbidden to allow outsiders to approach?"

"I think it will be able to flow smoothly now." Huo Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Since Shen Yuning said that she would see Cui Xin tomorrow, he must not renege on his promise and become fat.

……

The next morning, the sky was bright.

Huo Qi's figure appeared in front of Cui Xinyu's tent on time, and because Cui Xin had already ordered him, the guards immediately let him go.

Huo Qi walked in and saw Cui Xin sitting on the main seat, seemingly waiting for her.Seeing her entering the door, he stood up and bowed, "Miss Huo."

Huo Qi raised his eyes and looked directly at Cui Xin, slightly surprised.

This was the first time she took a closer look at Cui Xin, a very important general in the Qi court and the public.

This person was a little different from the Cui Xin she imagined.

Although the man in front of him was a military commander, he did not have any recklessness.Yesterday he was wearing armor, but today he was wearing a navy blue robe. He looked somewhat elegant and had a straight face. No wonder someone in the court called Cui Xin the "Jade-Faced Confucian General."

In the previous life, it was Cui Xin who personally escorted the body of his eldest brother Huo Xian back to the Ningguo Mansion. Later, when the Ningguo Mansion was framed for rebellion, Cui Xin also made a statement in front of Emperor Xiaowen. , and has already faded out of the ruling and opposition parties, without any motive for rebellion.

In fact, at that time, the government of Ningguo had no friendship with Cui Xin, and it was really not easy for Cui Xin to withstand the pressure and stand up for justice.To treat such a temperamental person, one must treat each other sincerely.

Huo Qi returned from his thoughts, gathered his clothes and saluted: "My little girl met General Cui, the situation was in a hurry yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to say a few more words with General Cui."

Cui Xin smiled heartily: "It's not too late today. I wonder what the girl had to say yesterday?"

Huo Qi didn't follow what he said yesterday, but said seriously: "I don't know how General Cui thinks of Ningguo Duke's Mansion?"

This sentence was a bit abrupt, and I don't know whether it was about Duke Ning's Mansion itself or the position of Duke Ning's Mansion in the Qi Dynasty.

Cui Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "Ning Guo Gong is loyal and upright, and Ning Guo Gong's mansion is naturally the home of Qingliu."

Huo Qi asked again: "Then what does General Cui think of Huo Rushan, the Imperial Academy student?"

Cui Xin was noncommittal, he and Huo Rushan had no personal relationship, and worked together in the same dynasty, so his evaluation of Huo Rushan might only be "moderate".However, considering Huo Qi's face, he didn't intend to say it directly, but just smiled slightly: "Open the skylight and tell the truth. I don't know why Ning Guogong is looking for you? You even invited Miss Huo to look for me?"

"It's not my father, it's me who asked for General Cui." Huo Qi replied quickly.

"Oh?" Cui Xin said suspiciously.

is her?

Cui Xin looked at Huo Qi, feeling strange in his heart.The first time Dongyanling met, Huo Qi shot and killed a soldier mercilessly.Although he has been in the battlefield for a long time, he has long been familiar with the dead, but a weak woman is so calm and cruel, it is inevitable to be jealous.

But looking at Huo Qi's face again, it's hard to feel bad for her.Because Huo Qi has a pair of eyes that are kind and pure, people can't bear to think badly about her.

I received a message from Huo Qi last night, and today I saw her saying so many confusing things.Apart from being surprised, he was also a little curious about what this girl wanted.

Between moments.

Huo Qi knelt straight down, with a solemn expression, and a cautious and earnest tone: "My daughter begged General Cui to send troops to rescue my elder brother Huo Xian. If the general agrees, my daughter will definitely tie a grass knot to repay the general's great kindness."
