Chapter 60 Heart, Fallen

After listening to Aunt Suqiu's words, Shen Cairen gave a pause to the hand holding the Buddhist bead, and then smashed the Buddhist bead in Aunt Suqiu's face fiercely, "Send someone to look around, no matter what, we can't let Shen Qingli Come back alive!"

Aunt Suqiu clutched her smashed face and left Shen Cairen's bedroom in fright.

When there was only one person left in the spacious bedroom, Shen Cairen stared at the Buddha statue enshrined on the altar with sharp eyes. The incense burning in the incense burner gave off curling smoke, and the Buddha statue surrounded by the smoke was kind and peaceful , as if it can really save the suffering.

Shen Cairen stared at those Buddha statues for a moment, the sharpness in his eyes was gradually replaced by longing.

In the end, she tightened her face, clasped her hands together, and knelt down in front of the altar piously again, muttering softly, "Buddha, bless believers to kill enemies..."

……

The sky is full of sunset, beside the west gate of Liang Jingcheng.

Lombudo and a group of his companions were tied up and knelt at the gate of the city.

They never thought that the people from Dongchang were so powerful that they caught them all with almost no effort.

Longbuduo secretly raised his eyes to look at Lu Huaiqi who was sitting under the city gate.

Lu Huaiqi sat upright in the mahogany grand teacher's chair, with a stern and bullying aura that made him look like Gao Tian Guyue, making it easy for people to kneel and lick him.

Longbuduo frowned, and his heart was completely shrouded in uneasiness and apprehension.

He understood that if he offended Lu Huaiqi, the governor of the East Factory, they would not end well.

Lu Huai caressed the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands, and looked up at the sky full of sunset clouds.At this moment, there happened to be a lonely bird flying by in the sky, making a mournful cry.

Lu Huai's heart became restless, and he looked away.But in the next moment, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the official family members who were reunited with their parents and brothers not far away.

These people lived in a good family atmosphere since they were young, and they were pampered by thousands of people. Today, being captured by Kunlun slaves may be just an occasional episode in their lives.They are panic, fear, fear... But these emotions can be appeased by their relatives in the end.

They will have a bright and hopeful tomorrow, and time will slowly smooth this bad episode out of their minds.

But only Shen Qingli...

Probably none of her loved ones hoped for her safe return.They may have even been begging God to let her have the worst possible end.

"Report to Governor, our people have searched around the nearby mountains, but have not found any trace of Madam." Zhang Li had already come to Lu Huai's side when he remembered something.Lu Huaiqi's unparalleled handsome face darkened instantly.

He gave Zhang Li a cold look with oppressive eyes, "If you haven't found it? Then keep looking! Tell them, as long as they don't find anyone, they won't be able to come back alone!"

When he said these words, Zhang Li clearly saw a persistent light in his fox eyes.

This is his attachment to Shen Qingli.

Zhang Li lowered his eyes and bowed back.

Not long after Zhang Li left, several eunuchs from the West Factory drove horses and wanted to go out from the West Gate to handle errands.Lu Huaiqi directly ordered the eunuchs of the West Factory to be detained.

Several Xichang eunuchs were dissatisfied and protested to Lu Huai, "Dudu Lu, the slaves are going out of the city to do an important matter on the order of Dudu Liu. If there is a delay, Dudu Liu will investigate and all consequences will be on you, Dudu Lu. take responsibility!"

It was said that he was going out of the city to do errands, but who knows if he went out of Ximen to help Shen Cairen and his gang deal with Shen Qingli.

Lu Huaiqi directly ignored those little eunuchs from the West Factory.

As a governor, he doesn't even pay attention to Liu Zhi, let alone these little guys from the West Factory.

Lu Huaiqi still had people detain those little eunuchs from Xichang.

After about a stick of incense, Liu Zhi, the governor of the West Factory, probably knew about his subordinate being detained by Lu Huaiqi, and hurried over.As soon as he came over, he saw Lu Huaiqi sitting in the middle of the city gate with a calm and relaxed appearance, and he directly allowed people outside the city to enter the city, and people inside the city were not allowed to leave the city, Liu Zhi snorted coldly and stepped forward.

"Captain Lu, our family heard that you wiped out those rebellious Kunlun slaves. We congratulate you on your meritorious service again. You are going to show off in front of the emperor again. But... our family is also sent by the emperor's order today. Someone went out to look for things. Dudu Lu, Dudu Lu, even if you don't give our family face, you can't cover up the emperor's place with one hand, even if you don't give the emperor's face."

Liu Zhi immediately put a hat on Lu Huaiqi as a bully.

Lu Huaiqi slowly stood up from the grand teacher's chair. The tall and slender he stood up like a towering mountain, making Liu Zhi look small and humble.

Liu Zhi hated this kind of feeling the most. He and Lu Huai were in charge of the East Factory and the other in charge of the West Factory.

Lu Huai looks younger than him, and his skin is better than him. Every time, he always takes advantage of his height to be arrogant and domineering in front of him.

"Liu Dudu, don't use the emperor to overthrow me. You have earned your own face. Our people in the East Factory are currently working, and you people in the West Factory should stand aside first!"

His tall figure completely enveloped Liu Zhi, his fox eyes narrowed contemptuously, and his eyes were cold and aloof.

This is simply not paying attention to him, and the entire West Factory.In the palace before, it was fine to be bullied by him, the governor of the East Factory.But recently, according to Pei Yan's suggestion, he has been serving Emperor Minghuai loyally.Emperor Minghuai also seemed to rely on him more than before.

Under the eyes of everyone today, Lu Huai said that this was similar to humiliation. If he endured it any longer, he and the whole Xichang would become a joke of Xiliang Kingdom tomorrow.

"Lu Huaiqi, on weekdays, the people from our West Factory let your people from the East Factory forget it. Now our people from the West Factory are also working for the emperor, why should we let your people from the West Factory go." Liu Zhi shrewd eyes After turning around, he turned around and whispered something in his subordinate's ear.

One of his men got his order to leave, and Lu Huaiqi also gave his own men a wink.That subordinate of his stepped forward and stopped Liu Zhi's subordinate directly.

Seeing this, Liu Zhi sparked sparks in his shrewd eyes, "Lu Huaiqi, what are you going to do now? Do you also want to imprison us people from the West Factory as traitors?"

Lu Huaiqi sneered, "How dare you catch me, who is the governor of Liu Dadu. I just want your subordinates to have a cup of tea with mine. As for the things that the emperor entrusted to you in Xichang, the governor can do it." Let the people from the East Factory do it for you.” It’s not that he looks down on the people from the West Factory.

What kind of subordinates are brought out by what leaders.

Xichang used to be the minions of Shen Cairen's faction, and they did a lot of things to help the evildoers.They have restrained themselves a little recently, but these are just their temporary dormancy.

He looked down on Xichang, and he didn't want his people to be ganged up by Xichang and Shen Cairen before they found Shen Qingli.

These words directly made Liu Zhi angry, and Lu Huaiqi completely put his face under his feet.

"Lu Huaiqi, you wait, our family will go into the palace to report your evil deeds to the emperor now." Liu Zhi shouted angrily, turned around and wanted to go into the palace to complain to Emperor Minghuai.

Lu Huai stood up and quickly stopped Liu Zhi's whereabouts, "Liu Dudu, you can file a complaint, but for now, let's sit here with the governor." Emperor Huai filed a complaint, and there must be a lot of trouble waiting there.He doesn't have time to deal with Liu Zhi now, so let's detain him first.

Following Lu Huaiqi's order, Liu Zhi, the governor of the West Factory, was immediately surrounded by several of Lu Huaiqi's men.

Liu Zhi's eyes spit fire, Lu Huai raised the corners of his lips, "What are you still doing standing there, hurry up and help Dudu Liu to drink tea."

After Lu Huai finished speaking, Liu Zhi said that he was invited down, but in fact, he was directly dragged aside.

Somewhere not far away, Pei Yan who followed Liu Zhi to the west gate was mixed in the crowd.Seeing Liu Zhi being dragged away, he stretched out his hand and lightly pressed the brim of the hat on his head to cover his face.

Lu Huaiqi personally sat at the gate of the west city, and even blocked the governor of the west factory who was acting for the emperor. What he did this time was really overstepping.

In the imperial palace, Aunt Suqiu walked into Shen Cairen's dormitory softly again. In the dormitory, Shen Cairen kept the same posture and whispered something while closing his eyes.

"My lord, Lu Huaiqi personally sits at the gate of the west city. He only allows people to enter the city, and never lets people out of the city. The people we want to send for reinforcements cannot leave the city gate at all."

After Aunt Suqiu said these words, her eyelashes flickered, and she closed her eyes subconsciously, waiting for Shen Cairen's storm.

Just as she expected, after her words were settled, Shen Cairen yelled at Aunt Suqiu almost violently, "Go! Get Liu Zhi to Bengong! Tell him that if he hides again this time Come to see Bengong, I will definitely report to the emperor one by one all the dirty things he has done in the past."

Aunt Suqiu stepped back lightly, holding her breath, "I will report to the master, Liu Dudu...he has been detained at the west gate by Lu Huai, the governor of the East Factory. I heard that the emperor seems to have arranged for the West Factory Going out of the city gate to do business..."

This time Aunt Suqiu hadn't finished speaking, Shen Cairen had already ordered her irritably, "Get out of here!"

Aunt Suqiu didn't dare to delay any longer, she left the bedroom quickly.

As the sun sets, the sunset glow in the sky gradually disappears.

West Gate, at the tea stand.

Pei Yan looked up at the sky, he was going into the palace to watch the night tonight, so he had to leave at this time.

The shop waiter was recruited, and he paid for it and was about to leave.

At the city gate, there was a burst of noise at this moment.Pei Yanxun looked over, her body froze suddenly.

At the gate of the west city, a thin figure was walking towards them with difficulty under the glow of the sunset.

"Governor, it's Madam!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and Lu Huai's gaze swept towards the gate of the city with a "swish".

His line of sight passed through the crowd with a "swish", and he saw the weak figure at the gate with great precision.

In his eyes, her clothes were torn and dirty, the bun on her head was already messed up, and she didn't know where to throw the shoes under her feet, so she was only wearing silk socks, which were full of dirt.

All this combined with her dirty face made her look pitiful and deplorable.

Lu Huai's heart seemed to be rubbed wantonly by someone, his pupils groaned, and he walked towards the thin figure in quick steps.

Shen Qingli walked forward step by step with difficulty.

She lost the shoes on her feet while running away.

The tens of miles of road were all walked back step by step with her feet.

Now she is hungry and weak, and every step she takes feels like stepping on a cloud.She herself doesn't know how long she can hold on, the only thing that can keep her going is her determination to live.

"A Li!" There seemed to be a soft call coming from the ear.She raised her head in a daze, and saw Lu Huaiqi who was not far away from her.

Under the setting sun, Lu Huaiqi's peerless face was blurred and unreal against the setting sun.Shen Qingli couldn't believe what he saw.So she opened her eyes wide and looked at Lu Huaiqi steadily.

While she was in a daze, Lu Huai rushed towards Shen Qingli in a few steps.

A coat with his body temperature was carefully draped over her shoulders, she clearly had a thousand words in her heart, but she choked on her dirty little face.

"A Li..." He bit his lip, "You have suffered."

The temperature that belonged to him on the jacket was passing through her thin and ragged clothes to her body, ironing her skin.Only then did Shen Qingli come back to her senses and realized that she was not dreaming.

His whispering sound came from his ear again, and Shen Qingli's heart seemed to be hit hard by someone.

Wuyou's pupils became sour, and the eye sockets were lightly covered with a layer of water vapor.

From childhood to adulthood, the entire An Guogong Mansion treated Shen Qingjiao as if they were their eyeballs and pampered her.Whatever Shen Qingjiao wanted, she didn't even need to open her mouth, someone would bring it to her.

And she could only watch helplessly.

Gradually growing up, others told her that she was just the concubine of the Duke's Mansion.The concubine would never be able to turn over and climb onto Shen Qingjiao, the concubine's daughter.

She will accept her fate.

She also resigned to her fate.She has become a green leaf that sets off Shen Qingjiao obediently, and she has become an obedient daughter obediently.She has no other specialties, she just hopes to use her cuteness to please the people of the Duke's Mansion.

I hope that her father and her aunt can also give her a little bit of the father's love he bet on Shen Qingjiao.

As long as a little bit, she is satisfied.

but……

No matter how well-behaved and obedient she is, she still can't change her fate.

She is a person who can be abandoned at any time.

If she wants to survive, she has to rely on herself.

But when her persistence and perseverance gave a gentle call to Shang Lu Huai, it completely collapsed.

Feeling sour, she looked at Lu Huaiqi, obviously wanting to smile at him with the corners of her mouth pulled, but there was a feeling of grievance in her heart.

Tears fell down uncontrollably, and she quickly reached out to wipe them away, but the more she wiped them, the more ferocious the tears welled up.In the end, she couldn't help but cry.

This was the first time Lu Huaiqi had seen her cry so uncontrollably.As the governor of the East Factory who covered the sky with his hands, he had never seen anything in the world.But at this moment, she was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort her.

"...It's okay, it was my fault before, I didn't protect you well." Lu Huaiqi stared at the crystal teardrops hanging from her eyelashes, frowned, and began to blame himself for taking the blame on himself.
