Cheng Yang was startled.
Are you not even bothering to hide it?
Endless cruelty spread across his brows and eyes: "Xu Yanshan, I will really kill you."
Xu Yanshan did not flinch and said: "My father is a horse slave who has been used by the Yongxing County government for many years. Back then, I went with my father to repair the hoofs of General Qing's horse, and I met her for the first time on the racecourse. Cheng General, you probably don’t know that she was already proficient in riding and shooting when she was five or six years old. I saw her walking with a hundred strides and smiling brightly on horseback. That day I couldn’t sleep all night, lying on the straw bed in the small house, my mind was full of thoughts. It’s her smiling face.”
However, Xu Yanshan knew very well that Qing Lingyi was the only daughter of General Qing. She was a noble and noble woman.
He doesn't deserve it.
At first, he just hoped that the skills of his ancestors in raising horses could be mastered so that she could use them in the future.
Later, Qingyan was defeated on the battlefield and his whereabouts are unknown.
That year Qing Lingyi was ten years old and had no relatives in Suidu. It was the Duke of Zuo County who adopted her.
Xu Yanshan was thankful at first.
Her presence at the county government residence meant that he could see her more often.
At night, he covered himself in the quilt and laughed out loud.
But gradually, he no longer felt lucky.
He found that Qing Lingyi no longer rode horses, let alone shot arrows.
One time when the royal family went hunting, they brought Qing Lingyi along with them and encouraged her to perform in public.
She reluctantly drew the bow string, but she didn't even hit the target.
The dignitaries of the family were talking a lot.
"Oh, she's nowhere near as good as her mother."
"In the past, other people took care of the general and deliberately let her go."
"It's really embarrassing."
“……”
Amid everyone's regrets and jeers, the young Qing Lingyi lowered his head and said nothing.
When everyone dispersed, she was left alone to clean up.
She first looked around to make sure there was no one there.
Take a bow and shoot an arrow.
Ten meters away, hitting the bullseye.
Xu Yanshan was shocked.
As if she was bored, she put down her bow and arrow and continued to pack her things.
Later, the minister of public education in Zuoxian County ordered Yi to study and announced that he would train her to become the most talented woman in Daliang.
Everyone in Suidu is paying attention, and even His Majesty personally inquires about the progress.
But Qing Lingyi could not memorize the article, and even became thinner and miserable.
Everyone in Suidu was extremely disappointed.
"It's a shame that I still expected her to be the first female official in Daliang. It's really a waste of Zuo County Duke's talents and training."
"She can't do martial arts, and she can't do literature either. She is really mediocre."
His Majesty heard that, although he was also sad, he still said with relief: "After all, this is my daughter's family. Learning literature and martial arts is not my duty. In the future, it is just a matter of marrying into a good family."
Only Xu Yanshan had seen her. She often came to the stables late at night to look at the horses left behind by General Qing.
The moonlight was like water, and she recited it softly while feeding.
Xu Yanshan learned many years later that they were all classics and historical articles.
It's complete, not a word is stuttered, and there are no mistakes or omissions.
Externally, Qing Lingyi seems to have become a weak and incompetent little girl.
Xu Yanshan knew that she was just hiding her clumsiness.
She knew very well that anything beautiful in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.
If her reputation was too great, someone would definitely try to take her life. As a scholar from Zuo County, there was no way he could save her.
And she had to live.
Only by surviving can there be hope and the possibility of going to the north and finding her mother.
"From Manu to where I am today, the hardships and hardships I have experienced are difficult to describe. What sustains me is my love for her. At the beginning of the month, I heard from a far away place that Your Majesty married her to you. Although I was envious, I She also thinks it's appropriate. Ever since General Qing's accident, her life has been turned upside down, and people around her are looking at her with eager eyes. She has to be wary of others and act with caution. This is the rule of life. "
Cheng Yang frowned.
Is that why she always lies to him?
"General Cheng, with your current position of power, you can keep her away from all dangers. However, if you are the biggest danger, then no matter what, I will save her from fire and water. In other words, she is not helpless. There is no way out, she still has me. Since I can go from a lowly servant to a minister personally enthroned by His Majesty, I will definitely be able to take her away from General Cheng."
Cheng Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.
The two people's eyes met. One was ruthless and aggressive, while the other was steady but determined.
a long time.
Cheng Yang squeezed out a sneer from his nose: "Since you have confessed so far, I might as well tell you that if I didn't regard her as a treasure, I wouldn't be so angry today. Now that I have figured out the whole story, I will definitely handle it properly. Follow-up matters. She will not be harmed in any way by my side in the future. I will only kill all the random intruders one by one. Including you. If you dare to come and take my wife, I will kill you without any body parts."
Xu Yanshan's eyes slightly curved and he looked away, "General Cheng's harsh words are somewhat reassuring. But at the moment, General Cheng should think carefully about how to coax her. Yeah, he looks good-tempered, but he is actually angry. He will be very fierce and hold more grudges than anyone else."
Cheng Yang was startled.
No, what "uh-huh"?
Why do you call her "Hmm" so affectionately?
Xu Yanshan really left Yunzhong Inn this time.
Sitting back in the carriage parked on the side of the road, Xu Chaolu saw the red pinch mark on his neck and exclaimed: "Brother, you are injured!"
Xu Yanshan shook his head gently, "I'm fine."
"Did Sister Qing's husband do it?" Xu Chaolu felt heartbroken.
Xu Yanshan didn't admit it, and of course, he didn't deny it either.
Xu Chaolu complained: "How could a good person like Sister Qing marry such a bad person?"
"You don't understand. General Cheng was a very good man in the past. Besides, he saved your sister Qing's life."
"So what? Brother, you should have taken Sister Qing with you! If that were the case, she is now my sister-in-law..."
"Morning dew!" Xu Yanshan stopped her.
"I'm not wrong, brother, you just like Sister Qing! In the past, you got drunk with the horse dealer, and every time you called Sister Qing in your dreams! I heard it!"
Xu Yanshan sighed: "Chaolu, you don't understand."
Even if he takes her away, she will not marry him.
Qing Lingyi always habitually stays in her own little world, where there is only her and her mother.
Biwei was there too.
But that was all. Others could not enter, and Xu Yanshan never stepped into it.
"You always say that I don't understand. It's obviously you who doesn't understand...Brother, you just gave up Sister Qing to someone else." Xu Chaolu muttered.
"It's not because of me," Xu Yanshan touched the little girl's head, "but because of God's destiny."
This is your Majesty's wedding.
Going deeper, Cheng Yang is different from anyone else. He is flamboyant and strong. When he falls in love with Qing Lingyi, he will forcefully pull her out of that small world without any explanation.
Fall in love with him.
When they met this time, Xu Yanshan felt a subtle difference in Qing Lingyi. She didn't explain it, but he also knew that she had a crush on Cheng Yang, more than just a little bit.
This is something neither Xu Yanshan nor anyone else can do.
The only thing Xu Yanshan could do was to say those words to Cheng Yang.
Xu Chaolu held her head with both hands, looking a little worried, "Brother, tell me, what will happen to Sister Qing and her husband?"
Xu Yanshan didn't know either.
At the same time, Yunzhong Inn.
"boom!"
Another hard punch.
Many people heard these noises and came out and stretched their necks to take a look.
However, they were all stopped by the guards of the General's Mansion.
Si Rujian fell to the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face. Cheng Yang pulled him up again and said with the utmost ferocity: "I asked you to stare at her, and you just let her run away? When you saw me coming over, you didn't explain a word." ?Si Rujian, how many times has it happened? Do you really want to die?"
