Chapter 23 Unpredictable Mind

Xietian Yuwu and Fengxiu looked at each other, the person who came to assassinate did not move, and the person who was assassinated did not move either. After a long time like this, Xietian Yuwu finally said, "You saved my life back then! , I don't want to kill you. It's just that I still can't figure it out. In today's troubled times, there are heroes and heroes. With what you can do, why do you want to protect a child? As far as I know, you are not a stickler. Royal orthodoxy?"

"Fengxiu is like this, it's really helpless." Fengxiu snorted coldly, "Although there are many heroes in the world, King Yadi is tyrannical, Lord Er is timid, cursing that the Lord of the world has no intention of being emperor, and drunk Huanglong Shang Fengyue doesn't have this ambition at all, although Fengxiu learned martial arts for a few days when he was young, he is still a scholar, if he wants to win fame in this troubled world, it is better to educate a monarch by himself."

"Oh? Then what do you think of me?" Xietian Yuwu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, "Instead of trying to teach a young boy, why not cooperate with me, I want the country, you want fame, wouldn't it be both ?” He looked at Fengxiu, and Fengxiu also looked at him, at the same time, out of the corner of Fengxiu's eye, he noticed a figure shaking outside, for this assassination, Xietian Yuwu was obviously well prepared.

Feng Xiu smiled, he looked at Xie Tian Yu Wu with a hearty smile, "At first, I thought you were just a brave and foolish man, but I never thought that you could see Feng Xiu's plan thoroughly."

"That's right, you asked Yuan Runqian to take the little prince out, exchanged Yuan Runqian's son for the little prince to return to the palace, and came to assassinate him yourself. I know everything about it, but as long as you promise to help me, I don't care about the so-called prince and Yuan Runqian." What the family did, even let them go." Xietian Yuwu smiled smugly.

Fengxiu bowed her head, still smiling softly, "Fengxiu lost this game, and I think it's going to be killed or cut. Although you won, Fengxiu still doesn't like this threat."

Xietian Yuwu obviously didn't expect Fengxiu to refuse, he pondered for a moment, "In this case, I can't keep your life, but you can rest assured, I still won't care about Yuan Runqian's family, the one you taught I will also send someone to take good care of the little prince, even though he is not destined for the throne, it will ensure that their mother and child will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

"Thank you." Fengxiu threw the dagger very calmly, letting Xie Tian Yu Wu order someone to tie him up and then push him away. When people take it down, the body and head will be separated, but Fengxiu has no worry on his face, and his steps are as easy as eating.

When Fengxiu was led to the door, Xietian Yuwu stood up suddenly, "Wait a minute." He walked a few steps behind Fengxiu, "You said you didn't like threats, then if I let you go today, What about you?"

Fengxiu looked back at him in surprise, seeming to be interested, "Let me go?"

"I suddenly changed my mind." Xietian Yuwu looked into Fengxiu's eyes, waved his hand to screen away the people on both sides, and stretched out his hand to untie the knot on Fengxiu's body, "I asked you to send Yuan Runqian and that kid's family away, and go all the way Where I will never follow, there is only one condition, now that the world is in conflict, you must not stand in my opponent's camp for three years, how about it?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word? You know that once I leave Lingnan, I'm free to go wherever I want, and no matter if I'm the Lord of the World or the Lord of the World, you won't be able to do anything to me then." Feng Xiu rubbed her face In fact, the wrists had not been tied for a long time, and there was no joy on his face, as he was still peaceful.

"As a king, there is no need to worry about one's life and death. There is a Wuyi Shi Yin under the Lord of Er, with an exquisite mind, and the Lord of Curse, the Triumph Marquis, is also thoughtful, resourceful and decisive. No matter who you help, you will be better than others." You can't be like this under my command, I can let you play to the fullest, so I'll wait for you for a month, if you come back after a month, I won't talk to you about the official position of general and prime minister, and when the country is stable, I promise you the emperor King side by side." Xie Tian Yu Wu took a sign from his waist with a smile, and slapped it directly on Feng Xiu's hand.

"Thank you." Fengxiu looked down at the sign in his hand, and knew that it was the customs clearance talisman of several cities in Lingnan. He still had no expression on his face, so he just turned around and walked away.

"Do you really want to let him go?" A confidant beside him watched Fengxiu's leaving back, and frowned at Xietian Yuwu, "Wang, this Fengxiu really doesn't know what to do, you can see that he doesn't care."

Xietian Yuwu snorted coldly and turned back to stare at the person who spoke, "You know what, if it wasn't for all of you ignorant wastes under my hands, would it be necessary for me to coax him like this? Don't worry, these scholars are the best. I value those things, I know in my heart, within a month, Fengxiu will definitely come back."

……

In Mobei, Fu Ying stayed unattached to guard the south of the Yangtze River. He brought tens of thousands of people back to the north with Baichenzi to find the Curse World Lord who had already returned to Mobei. The Beishan alliance with the Er World Lord still exists. It was also after the great war, each was busy appeasing the common people and winning over people's hearts, they actually sought a moment of peace in the troubled times.

Walking to the North Ridge, Fuying ordered people to set up camp and make some repairs. He did not urge the marching speed all the way, but deliberately slowed down. Seeing that it was already the end of February, and the weather was gradually warming up. One morning, Fuying got up early to practice as usual. Dao, when Bai Chenzi ran all the way to find him, he had just stopped his moves and took a slight breath.

"Brother, Mr. Fengxiu is back, and he brought some people with him." Bai Chenzi ran panting, obviously rushing all the way to report.

There was joy in Fu Ying's eyes at first, but the joy flashed away. He snorted coldly and turned around, "If you want to leave, you can come if you want. Treat me as a posthouse? You let someone blow you out, Do not enter."

"Huh?" Bai Chenzi was taken aback.

"Is my friend too ruthless, but you have only been separated for more than a month, and you don't want to take Fengxiu in anymore?" With a clear laugh, Fengxiu came in a purple light shirt, holding a fan.

"Let's leave without saying goodbye, how do I know if you've been illicit with the Lord of Er and sent Wuyi a report to the Mobei Army." Fuying snorted coldly, "Why didn't I run into a bandit on the way? to your misfortune."

"Brother, you don't worry about Mr. Fengxiu every day. Now that he has finally returned without injury or illness, why are you gnashing your teeth?" Bai Chenzi said lazily beside him.

"You're going to kill yourself if you don't have an obsession, right? Go prepare breakfast!" Fu Ying blushed, and kicked Bai Chenzi as if, who laughed and ran away.

Fengxiu smiled and said loudly: "Bring me one, I haven't eaten yet."

"Okay!" Bai Chenzi's voice of going away penetrated the morning mist, leaving two people standing in place.

"It's just... a waste of food and grass." Fuying glared at Fengxiu, and complained in a low voice. Fengxiu took a step forward and hugged her in her arms, smiling contentedly. He buried his head on Fuying's shoulder deeply. Taking a breath, her hands tightened unconsciously, as if wishing to rub someone into her body, Fuying only felt that Fengxiu's strength was a bit scary, but he felt that Fengxiu's mood was not as good as it seemed, and couldn't help it He reached out and patted Fengxiu's back and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I miss you." Fengxiu closed her eyes on Fuying's shoulder, letting the sun shine on the two of them, Fuying couldn't see the tiredness and worry on Fengxiu's face, she just tilted her head up and let it go. Fengxiu hugged her for a while, "Okay, there are people coming and going in the barracks, it's not good to look at, let's go, let's go eat."

"Okay." Fengxiu let go of Fu Ying, and took a step back, still smiling.

After breakfast, Fuying saw Yuan Runqian in the military tent, "You are really...more rounded..." He stared at this so-called old man, and still remembered that when he met in the quarry, Yuan Runqian was as thin as a man. A weak scholar with bones, after more than ten years of hard work, this man is not only middle-aged and blessed, he has a wife and a concubine, children... These three sons and two daughters stand neatly in the military tent, and there is also a wife who serves him maid.

"Runqian has met the young master. Now that there is a war in Lingnan, I will bring my whole family here to seek refuge. I hope there will be no disturbance." Yuan Runqian smiled and bowed.

"It doesn't matter. Now that half of my adoptive father's family is at the beginning of his life, it's also the time to employ people. You have read poetry and books so much that you don't need a bite of food." Fuying nodded, and his eyes fell on Yuan Runqian's two daughters. One of the two little girls looked seven or eight years old, and the other was three or five years old. They were wearing tender pink dresses, and they looked very cute secretly.

Covering half of her face with her fan, Fengxiu peeked at Fu Ying's soft gaze, and couldn't help suppressing her laughter and said, "I have been in Lingnan for many years, and I have been taken care of by brother Runqian. Friends worry."

"Between you and me, there's no need to talk about this." Fu Ying waved his hand, and he ordered Bai Chenzi to arrange a temporary residence for the family. Yuan Runqian's family left. The eldest son stayed on his body for a while before taking it back.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Fengxiu smiled and said, "You like those two little girls so much, why don't we raise one too?"

Just as Fuying was about to speak, someone came outside to deliver a secret letter, so Fuying opened it in front of Fengxiu, glanced at the contents of the letter and sneered, "Although Chu Wushang has resigned from the General The position is still secretly helping Wuyi. A few days ago, the land law that Wuyi promoted was blocked by some nobles. After a few days, the leaders died one after another inexplicably at home. As a result, World Lord Er I don’t have to worry about money and food for a while.”

"How can you be sure that Chu Wushang did it?" Feng Xiu looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"All the dead have their throats sealed with a sword, except him, who in Wuyi's men has such a fast sword?" Fuying sneered and threw the letter into Fengxiu's hand, "You also follow me back to Mobei, Meet with foster father and find a decent job for you."

"Yeah, I'd rather continue to be a dog-headed military advisor for you." Feng Xiu shook her fan and chuckled.

"There is no war now, the country needs to be stable, and of course the matter of leading troops to fight the war must be let go, and what you can do is just right for you." Fuying didn't think about it, Fengxiu half-lowered her head, unable to see Calculations in the eyes.

Ten days later, one day, Fu Ying was busy with military affairs and stayed up all night. When she got up early, she didn't see Fengxiu. She searched all over the camp but found no one. She hurried back to the tent, but found a letter on the table with clear and shallow handwriting. , all written by Fengxiu himself:

Fuying my love, although Mobei is good, it is not where Fengxiu's ambition lies. Leave a book to say goodbye, and cherish it forever.

The maid in Yuan Runqian's family is named Shuanghong. Her son has been taught by me for many years since he was a child.You can take it back to Mobei, if you curse the world lord Wuxin to the throne, this young man can take on the great responsibility of the world with a little time.

The Lord of the World of Er is timid and fearful, with short-sightedness, and he will not cause trouble if he allows his misfortune to rise up.Although Wuyi has a great strategy, his father and sister were all killed by the master of the world. If necessary, he can use this as a means to make a difference. Use your heart for yourself.

The world puts stability first, and the way to govern the country and the country can be discussed with Runqian. Remember, the people are more important than the emperor, the people are the most important, and the country is the first.If the people are more wise, the country will prosper. Therefore, they will open up their voices and set up more private schools. Mobei employs people who don't care about their backgrounds.

Fengxiu is going here, good and bad are unpredictable, life and death are unknown, I hope that when we meet again, the world will be fixed, and the years will be peaceful, just like the time when we were young, there will be another day, and this life will be fulfilled.

I hold this respectful book in my hand, and I wish you peace.Fengxiu.

When Bai Chenzi came in and wanted to tell his sworn brother that the army was ready to leave, he lifted the curtain of the military tent and was surprised to see Fu Ying punching the desk, and the wooden desk shattered. Inkstone was also good, and the breakfast for two on it was scattered on the ground.
