Chapter 128: Chapter 128
He was finally willing to take the initiative to answer this question that Ah Sheng couldn't figure out.
So A Sheng stared into his eyes inquiringly, trying to dig out some information about the answer from the bottom of his eyes, "If you don't tell me, how can I guess it?"
"Do you think I like you secretly?" He began to smile inexplicably, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were smudged with a meaningful taste, "Then you really think too much—" The ending sound was deliberately prolonged.
He was still enjoying himself by asking himself and answering, and before A Sheng could refute, he suddenly laughed: "I, Xun Chen, have never liked a woman in my life, and I have no interest in all women, including you of course."
Seeing that A Sheng couldn't bear to interrupt himself, he put his index finger close to his lips and made a "hush", then moved slightly closer to her, and said with a smile, "I only love Xun Yu."
"Your real brother?"
"Surprised?" Xun Chen laughed with his face up, "So how can others guess? They only think that my Xun family brother has a weak relationship and has no personal friendship, but they don't know that Xun Chen loves my brother so much that he can throw it away no matter what."
He seemed to know A Sheng's reaction like the palm of his hand, propped his head on one arm, and stared at her expression with a mocking smile.
A Sheng was stunned when he heard that, he stood on the edge of the bed and rolled his eyes, for a moment he didn't know what to say to express the overwhelmed doubts at the moment.
"What's so good about a woman? It's nothing more than a beautiful face that makes the perverted peony flower die, or she is full of talent and morality worthy of admiration, but which one of these literary works is lacking? I Xun Chen also It is a talent all over the body, so naturally I will never give in to others easily, but there is only one Wenruo that makes me willing to give up more than half a step."
He leaned against the bed board carved with cloud-patterned hibiscus and talked to himself, his fingers caressing the carved jade pendant in the shape of Tangdi flowers on his neck, and kept flipping it in the palm of his hand.
This Tangdi flower, Asheng, has seen many plants in the yard in front of Zijian’s house. He is keen on watering and fertilizing every day. When the flowers are ripe, they will grow into clouds, and the snow-white petals will grow on the branches, crystal clear like jade pears. Rui, he will personally fold a plain bottle and send it to Zihuan.
She naturally understood what it meant.
"Wen Ruo insisted on choosing Cao Mengde more than ten years ago, and bet the fate of my Xun family in his hands. Since then, the Yingchuan family has shared weal and woe with the Cao family. I fully support his choice and bow down to serve Yuan alone. The only thing is to let him have a way to retreat in the future. I have assisted Yuan Benchu for more than ten years. If Cao Mengde is defeated, Yuan Shao will finally see my favor and leave a message. What I have been pursuing since I was young. For him, I betrayed the Lord and betrayed morality. Since the confrontation at Guandu, I have not offered a plan. I have seen Yuan Benchu miss the opportunity and suffer a complete defeat. I even went to Xu to remind him how to deal with Jushou Tianfeng. plan."
From the moon to the atrium, the sparse crowing of crows and magpies diffused the light of the moon into the window lattice, illuminating Xun Chen's sharp and sharp jaw line, which is different from Xun Yu's handsome and soft outline.
He was talking nonchalantly, his eyes were like shining stars beside the dark clouds at night, but they were clean and open, not allowing a little bit of dust to mix in.
A Sheng couldn't help but feel his heart move, "Then does he know?"
Xun Chen slowly raised his eyes to look at her, with ambiguous emotions in his eyes: "So this is the most regrettable. It's a pity that although he has seven orifices, he blocked one with his own hands, so he is a bit dull in love. Not only for me, but for him as well."
Seeing that A Sheng was puzzled, he couldn't help but raised his lips and laughed again: "If it wasn't for him, how could I be so leisurely and merciful to save your life? I saved you entirely because of him, and I don't know where I am in it." Good brother."
She just felt baffled: "What do you mean? What does saving me have to do with him?"
With a low laugh, he suddenly looked out of the window at the dark night with faint light shining through the darkness as if he wanted it, and raised his head and sang loudly, "Your son is rich, wait for me, regret not to give it away—— The prosperity of the son, as long as I am in the hall, I regret that I will not come—"
"It's a pity that the brocade clothes, the brocade clothes, finally melted into flying smoke, buried in the dust and mud to disperse cleanly."
"You really have a wild and uninhibited style, and Chang Xiao Qingge is easy to read, but I don't understand what you mean when you read this poem." She sat patiently on the edge of the bed, listening to him finish singing the whole song. Feng asked with a polite frown.
He withdrew his smile, his brows were abrupt and stern: "He will regret it one day."
"Regret what?"
"If I were him, I would take you far away from Yuntian in the middle of the night right now, and ignore everything else from now on."
A Sheng immediately stood up with a frown, and shouted at him: "Are you crazy?"
He reclined peacefully on his side, squinted at her, and sat up slowly: "But he will never do that."
Immediately he sighed: "He seems to feel that he was born to live for the world of the Han Dynasty. As an elder brother, I have no right to judge whether his ideals are correct or not. I only know that he lives for the Liu surname sitting on the dragon chair." The emperor is willing to sacrifice his own life. So no matter who it is, it will definitely not change his decision."
A Sheng was silent, but he knew very well in his heart that what Xun Chen said was completely correct, so he could only stand there sadly, listening to him continue: "Naturally including that Cao Sikong, Wen Ruo will never really be with him, maybe The trajectory is similar, but the end is different from the beginning, and there will never be a common ending. I know that he is not as pure as Guo Fengxiao. Fengxiao is the clearest but most complicated plotter I have ever seen. It is strange that his Every move of chess seems to have no consideration of any interests, and it is purely for the sake of making moves, which just happens to achieve what he wants. My good brother is destined not to be as free and unrestrained as him, and his chess game is full of There are too many traps to be scrupled about, and outsiders seem to be calm, but in fact, countless waves have been set off in his heart, which is the saddest and most embarrassing thing."
Bystanders have always known that his tone was calm from beginning to end, but there was a slight sadness in his voice that could not be concealed, like a new sword that has not been tempered in a forge. , it will immediately shatter into two halves with a "bang".
"Then you...can you rescue him?" She couldn't help asking.
Xun Chen looked over the window and looked at the direction of Xudu shrouded in the night, which was far away from him by many mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but sighed in a low voice: "Ah Yu, Ah Yu, who can save you except yourself Woolen cloth."
He has been watching Xun Yu soberly for many years, and the figure in his pupils that is very similar to himself is gradually drifting away on the opposite road without hesitation, and he can't interfere with anything except useless silence.
Everything he can do has been done for his brother.
"What I am most worried about is that one day Wenwen finds that the ending cannot be reversed, and sacrifices himself to his unfinished ideal." He murmured, not knowing if he intended to let her hear it, but she could still express everything. The words were heard clearly, "A Yu is too naive, longing for a future that can never be realized, how could there be such an infatuated person in Yingchuan."
She looked at the waning moon in the sky that wasn't round, and the wind slowly blowing over her face made her face blurry. She also sighed: "He is too lonely. Those who can understand him can't help him, but it's a pity that they can help him." I can't understand him, Cao Mengde actually knows what he wants, but he can only respond silently."
"Cao Mengde? Heh, I'm afraid Wen Ruo will die at his hands in the end." Xun Chen suddenly bent his lips and sneered uncharacteristically.
"It's impossible for him to treat Mr. Xun Ling like this." A Sheng immediately opened his mouth to retort, his tone excited, "He and Mr. Xun Ling have a heart-to-heart relationship, and the friendship is far deeper than you think. He will not and is not willing to kill you."
"He will not be willing to take Wen Ruo's life, but he may not dare!" He suddenly shouted sharply, shaking A Sheng's shoulder, as if trying to remind her obsessed, "That day will come after all. , even if he doesn't want to hurt Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo won't make things difficult for him, I hope you can see carefully, the future in Cao Mengde's heart cannot accommodate Wen Ruo, and he can't afford what Wen Ruo wants!"
These words hit a hidden worry, Ah Sheng's heart suddenly fell into sorrow, he bowed his head and stopped talking.
"I want you to swear." After a long time, he said suddenly.
She looked up at him and found that his face had become serious, "Speak."
"I want you to swear that if that day has to come, you, Bian Sheng, will do everything you can to save his life and let him live."
"I swear—" A Sheng said word by word, staring at his face, "I, Bian Sheng, will do my best to keep him even if I speak lightly. He gave me my life, and I will pay for my own. Life is also about keeping him safe and sound, including upholding his choices, his name and all that he holds dear."
Xun Chen stared at her intently, as if he wanted to get a glimpse of what he had been looking for for a long time from her expression, finally nodded, and glanced at the sky and moonlight outside the window, the moonlight crossed his face, reflecting his worry fundus.
"You should go." He slowly closed his eyes, "The person who met you has already arrived outside the city gate."
A Sheng bowed slightly to him, and said: "Treasure."
"Wait." He suddenly stopped her who was about to open the door, "I have something that I need you to pass to A Yu for me."
With her hand off the door latch, she turned and walked back, and saw him untie the black string around his neck, took off the beautiful Tangdi pendant, put it in his palm, and handed it to her.
"Tell Ah Yu that what your brother can do is over, return this pendant to him, and hope he can take care of himself."
"Then where are you going?" She took the pendant and hid it in her lapel, making sure it was safe and asking.
"Me," he shook his head, "maybe south of the Yangtze River, or north of Liaodong, in such a big world, there will eventually be a place where Xun Chen can stay."
