Chapter 244 Visitor from the North 3
Chapter 244 Visitor from the North 3
Qin Jing walked into the room and saw Huan Rong sitting in the previous position, watching him motionless with a very stiff expression.After saluting and taking his seat, Huan Rong's expression did not loosen in the slightest, on the contrary, he became more rigid, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
"Your Majesty, is it because of the letter of credence?" Qin Jing asked.
Before leaving Chang'an, he knew the content of the national letter, including the few words added by Qin Ce, all clearly.The reason why he took the initiative to ask for a job has never changed his mind. It is not because he wants to go to death, but because he has other considerations.
He and Huan Rong agreed to meet on the battlefield, and the latter is not a reckless person, so he can naturally see that this is wrong, and will not "do it" easily.Furthermore, after returning to the north, with this as a premise, no matter what he does, even if he immediately leads the army to the north, the reason can still stand.
Hearing the other party's question, Huan Rong shook his head, ordering all the serving eunuchs and maidservants to retreat.After the door was closed, Fangcai slowed down his expression and said, "Xuanmin call me to respect you."
Qin Jing smiled.
The frost and snow melted in an instant, leaving no trace of evil spirit, and warmth welled up in the dark eyes.
After only looking at each other for a few seconds, Huan Rong turned his head uncomfortably and coughed twice in embarrassment.Secretly told myself, it is definitely related to the spice in the wooden bottle, absolutely!
It was really because the "surprise" sent by his aunt was too great, and Qin Jing came too fast, and he didn't have time to prepare, so he behaved like this.In normal times, if he met Qin Jing like this, he would definitely... what would happen?
Unable to get an answer, Huan Rong turned his head and looked into his black eyes, unconsciously lost in thought.
"Respect." Qin Jing leaned closer, stretched out her slender fingers, only half an inch away from the corner of Huan Rong's mouth, but changed her mind halfway, closed her fingers one by one, and squeezed them into her palm, paused for a moment, and slowly retracted go back.
Because of this sudden change, Huan Rong finally came back to his senses.
Before the brain could make a decision, the body had already reacted in advance, and before Qin Jing lowered his arm, he held his wrist.
Looking at each other again, neither of them made a sound.
After a long time, Huan Rong raised the corner of his mouth and pulled Qin Jing closer.The latter was dazed for a moment, the previous tenseness disappeared, and he turned his back on the guest, clasped Huan Rong's hand on his wrist, and brought it to his lips.
The warm touch fell on the fingertips, like catkins falling.Slowly move up along the knuckles, lingering over the blue marks on the back of the hand, stay for a while, then slowly return to the palm, imprinted into the palm lines, without moving away for a long time.
Gudong.
Huan Rong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the roots of his ears couldn't help getting hot.Feeling the warm breath flowing to the inside of the wrist, an indescribable numbness rose from the back and spread to the limbs in an instant.
Subconsciously pursed his lips, his hands and feet were numb.
Bang, there was a soft sound.
Is it his heartbeat?
wrong!
Huan Rong blinked vigorously, and after concentrating on it, he realized that the wooden bottle in his hand had dropped from his hand, landed on the ground, rolled forward twice, and stopped in front of Qin Jing.
Gudong.
Huan Rong swallowed again, this time was different from before, it was definitely not due to the surge of electric current in his body.
"What is this?" Qin Jing's eyes moved and landed on the wooden bottle, with doubts in his tone, "Spice?"
The bottle has a special shape and is sealed with wax. It is either a spice or a elixir.Huan Rong has never been interested in seeking immortality, and he is quite resistant to taking Hanshi Sanzhifeng, and he will not carry the elixir with him.
So is the spice?
Where will it be?
It was rare for Qin Jing to be curious, before Huan Rong could react, he quickly picked up the wooden bottle and brought it to his eyes for a closer look.
Seeing this scene, Huan Rong's heart rose to his throat, and the rapid beating sound could be heard clearly.
It's okay, there won't be anything... It's nothing to blame!
Is it too late to find a seam in the ground to get in?
Seeing that the wax seal was intact, Qin Jing wiped it with her fingertips, but did not open it on the spot, but looked at it for a while, and returned the wooden bottle to Huan Rong.Seeing that the other party's expression was obviously relaxed, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he took out a flat and long wooden box.
Huan Rong showed doubts, Qin Jing smiled and said: "Jing's previous promise has never been broken."
The wooden box has no mechanism, it is only fastened with silk rope.
The lid of the box was opened, and there was a hosta lying quietly inside.
Jade is a good jade, the whole body is crystal clear, and it is warm and moist to the touch.The workmanship is average, even a little rough, obviously not from the hands of master craftsmen.There are two seal characters engraved on the hairpin, which are so familiar that the meaning can be determined without careful identification.
Huan Rong's lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.He solemnly accepted the jade hairpin, took a deep breath, suddenly clasped Qin Jing's neckline, and leaned over to cover his lips under the surprised gaze of the other party.
The eyelids drooped, and there was only blurred light and shadow in sight.
There was no sound in the room, only the heart beating in the chest.Dongdong, boomdong, the voice became more and more urgent, and in the next moment, it seemed to jump out of the cavity.
The breathing became tighter and tighter, and the ear drums swelled slightly.
Huan Rong half-opened his eyes, wanting to step back a little, not wanting to be pinned by a big hand on the back of his head, so he pushed back again.
The brain was in chaos and soon became a paste.
Unconsciously exerting force with ten fingers, the dark black clothes were wrinkled.
When he was finally let go, Huan Rong panted heavily and regained his breath.Her legs were a little numb, and she leaned against Qin Jing's body, her forehead resting on the other's shoulder, and she could still feel the scorching body temperature through the fabric.
Will the blade also have temperature?
A strange thought flashed through his mind, and Huan Rong wanted to laugh inexplicably.
Qin Jing turned her head sideways, brushed her lips against Huan Rong's forehead, and asked strangely, "Why are you laughing?"
"I..." Huan Rong wanted to tell the reason, but felt that it would spoil the atmosphere, so he simply shook his head, closed his eyes, rested his head on Qin Jing's shoulder, and didn't say the rest.
In the evening, when the sun was setting, the afterglow spilled into the room through the carved windows, creating hazy light and shadow around the two of them.
Qin Jing was no longer cold, her eyes became more gentle, and she fell on Huan Rong, capturing a bit of laziness, as if she was hugging a satiated raccoon cat.
After a long time, she was sure that Huan Rong would not give an answer, so Qin Jing didn't continue to ask. She stroked the back of Huan Rong's head with her big hand, along the back of her neck and onto her shoulders, and brushed her fingertips behind Huan Rong's ears.
Unsurprisingly, there was a tremor.
Qin Jing raised the corners of her mouth, the corners of her eyes and brows were tinged with charm, and there was also a hint of inexplicable naughtiness.
Such an expression shouldn't have appeared on Qin Jing's body, but thinking about it, he felt that it was against harmony. It would make people unconsciously stare in astonishment and shudder on the spot.The moment it fell into Huan Rong's eyes also made him shudder, but the reason was completely different from the world's perception.
Perhaps because they wanted to preserve this precious moment, neither of them spoke or moved.
The room gradually fell into silence, and the elongated shadow on the ground was like a swan crossing its neck.
The pigeon stands on the wooden frame, combing its feathers meticulously.Occasionally, I tilted my head to glance over the two eyes, and made two cooing noises, but without attracting any attention, I returned to my "work" intently.
Huan Rong didn't want to move.
Everything seemed unreal, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.
Surrounded by the familiar atmosphere, the tense nerves are relaxed, and the thoughts drift away.Many images flashed before my eyes one after another. The memories that should have been blurred gradually became clear at this moment.
On the Shangsi Festival, the water is flowing, and the black figure you see for the first time is as sharp as a knife;
Under the corridor of the Huan Mansion, the bronze sword handed in front of him was touched and surprised for a moment;
In the assassin's mansion, the vigor of dancing swords in the rain and Qin Feng's clang are still in my ears, and I can't forget them for a long time;
Jiankang, Yandu, Xuyi...
Counting all kinds of things, the number of times they have met is only a handful, but the memory is exceptionally clear, as if there is a deep-locked area in the brain, which is specially designed to treasure everything that belongs to the two of them.
Huan Rong closed his eyes.
The incense in the wooden bottle had long been forgotten. At this moment, he just wanted to sit quietly, relying on the person in front of him quietly, and being relied on by the person in front of him.
Isn't it right?
He doesn't know.
Since crossing, he has been running wildly, for survival, for China, for everything, he has been urging himself all the time, and he has never stopped.But when he is tired, he also wants to let go of his thoughts temporarily, let go of everything, and find a moment of peace and quiet.
If such an idea is known, it will definitely be funny.
Who is Qin Xuanmin?
The titan who fought on the battlefield, the "Khan King" in the mouth of the grassland tribes, the name of the killing god spread all over the north and south, and many bandits died under his gun.Anyone who is regarded as a threat by the Han family will be killed sooner or later.
This fierce god is shrouded in evil spirit, like a blade made of ice and snow, it will be frozen stiff if it passes by.
To seek comfort, to find tranquility around such a person, is tantamount to fantasy.If you didn't understand it before, you would probably think that your head was caught by the door.
Thinking of this, Huan Rong couldn't help laughing again.
"Respect?"
There was no answer, only laughter that became clearer and clearer.
Qin Jing narrowed her eyes slightly, lowered her head to Huan Rong's ear, and whispered two words: "Brother Rong?"
The sound hit the eardrums, Huan Rong made a smart move, immediately put away his smile, and rubbed against the crook of Qin Jing's neck.Embarrassed by his own reaction, he realized that the black neckline had been torn apart, so he simply snapped his heart out, opened his mouth and took a bite.
The location is really coincidental, it is printed on the place where it was bitten before.
It will not leave scars, but the tooth marks will last for a few days.
Qin Jing bit her teeth violently, hissed silently, her cheeks were slightly tense, but it was not because of pain.She didn't even pull Huan Rong away, but put one hand on the back of his head, and pressed down gently, allowing him to bite deeper.
After a long time, Huan Rong gritted his teeth, finally raised his head, and licked his lips.The dark red color lures the viewer's eyes to darken.Qin Jing lifted Huan Rong's chin, her lips were less than half an inch apart, and the breath of each other was clearly audible.
Suddenly, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door, saying that the meal was ready and the emperor was invited to eat.
Huan Rong made a rule, three meals a day, nothing can be shaken.Look at the time, it is indeed time for dinner.
The silence was broken in an instant, as if there was a crisp crackling sound in my ears.
Huan Rong closed his eyes, then opened them again quickly, suppressing the boiling emotions in his chest, and gently pushed Qin Jing's hand away.
Qin Jing withdrew his hand, but the man didn't retreat, staring at Huan Rong for a long time, suddenly picked up the wooden bottle from his side, cut the wax seal in front of him, and sniffed lightly.
Huan Rong's heart rose to his throat again, and it was already too late to stop it.
After a while, the wooden bottle was removed and sealed again.
Qin Jing lowered her eyes, ignoring the eunuch's voice behind the door for the second time, pressed against Huan Rong's forehead, and said in a low voice, "I'll come over tonight, okay?"
Huan Rong blinked, but couldn't immediately understand the meaning of the words.
When he thought about it clearly, his whole body was like being struck by lightning.
It's not very vivid to say so, and the thunder strike is indeed a bit too much, but Shihua did it on the spot, and there was no objection.
"Come here tonight?" Huan Rong asked back.
Qin Jing raised her chin slightly, glanced at the wooden bottle, her voice became deeper and even a little hoarse, "If Jing can't understand such kindness, wouldn't it be a disappointment to Brother Rong's good intentions?"
"There are guards outside the door." Huan Rong didn't know why he said this.Don't ask why, he will never tell!
Qin Jing rubbed the tip of Huan Rong's nose, smiled meaningfully, and said in a low voice: "It is pointed out by the world to peek through the wall, brother Rong, I am willing to do it."
Huan Rong: "..."
How can he express his admiration for being able to say this so openly and without the slightest bit of guilt?
At the same time, Qin Ce's decree was sent to Changli, and [-] generals arrived with the decree.According to the will, they will join up with the local defenders and go out in February. The soldiers will point directly at the place where Murong Xianbei is entrenched.
Qin Yu stationed troops in Changli for a long time, and his prestige grew day by day.According to the decree, he led the commander-in-chief's seal and set up a big banner, handed over the guarding of the border to the officials in the state, and personally led [-] cavalry and infantry to the expedition.
On the day when the army set off, people in several villages around the city offered wine and water to each other.
Pingzhou was once under the jurisdiction of Yan State, and the people in the territory admired Rong Xianbei for a long time.
Yecheng was destroyed by the Qin family, and Murong Xianbei was expelled from the Central Plains. The bones left behind and the hatred accumulated over the years could not be completely eliminated.
The sage said, repay grievances with virtue, why bother to repay virtue?Complain straight, reward virtue with kindness!
The Hu people occupy the Central Plains, and the people of the Han family are their fish and meat, and the suffering is unspeakable.
The Qin family first expelled Murong Xianbei, then destroyed Diqin, and restored the rivers and mountains in the north.Now that the capital is Chang'an, the system is proclaimed emperor, and sending troops to crusade against Xianbei's remnant enemies is naturally in line with public opinion and can win the hearts of the people of the North to the greatest extent.
The policy of the southern land is good, but for the frontier residents of the northern land, the thing that touches them the most is revenge, the killing of bandits who have bullied their relatives and have a lot of blood and debts!
Qin Ce's sending troops to recruit Murong Xianbei was not really out of grandiosity or even ignoring reality.
In fact, it was precisely because of the threat from the southern land that in order to consolidate its own prestige and rule, it formulated a strategy to send troops, using Murong Xianbei's blood to pave the way for the emperor.
If this battle can be won, there are many benefits.
The key lies in whether they can make a quick decision, cut off Murong Xianbei's escape route, and completely wipe out this remnant enemy in the land of Sanhan.
The army came out of Changli City, with banners and flags unfurled, and their armor bright.
The people lined the road to see each other off.
Cries of "kill the thieves and bandits" continued to be heard from the crowd, and even the young and strong volunteered to join the army, unable to kill the enemy on the battlefield, it was also a pleasure to deliver food and grass for the army, and to be a servant.
Murong Xianbei invaded the Central Plains, leaving countless blood debts.
It has only been two or three years since Yecheng was captured, and the hatred and anger of the Pingzhou border residents has never disappeared. Today, when it broke out, accompanied by the sound of the Qin army's horns and drums, they uttered a sky-shattering cry, and completely played General Murong. Chui and Murong De sent to the mourning sound of hell.
