Chapter 230: Untie the knife
The pillow didn't hurt to hit someone, Xie Wei took it and put it back for her, stood aside by himself, raised his finger to press his lips, and smiled softly.
This time Jiang Xue would rather not dare to rely on it.
She gritted her teeth and got up resentfully, and hurried to take a bath behind the screen. It's just that people are sitting in the bathtub full of water, even though they know that what Xie Wei said just now is mostly a joke, but they can't forget it in their heads and keep echoing. For a moment, I just felt that the handkerchief on the edge of the tub was dirty. Instead of washing myself clean after taking a bath, I washed a bunch of messy thoughts into my head.
After Xie Ju'an finished those shocking words, he was calm and calm, and sat at the table under the window playing with a plain piano that he had found a few days ago.
Qin is not a good piano.
But to be able to have a piano in this situation is already a winking favor from the disciples of the Heavenly Sect.
The two tossed and tossed until half the night before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xuening stayed in bed as usual and continued to sleep.
Xie Wei went out as usual to discuss matters with Wan Xiuzi and others.
With successive victories in frontline battles, Yu Tianjiao's prestige was greatly shocked, and the congregants in the sub-helm were even more energetic. After all, as long as the wealthy south has been conquered, thinking about it later, it is just a matter of advancing towards the north. As for the imperial court's gang of wine bags, rice bags, and vegetarian meals in corpses, they were beaten to pieces before, throwing away their helmets and armor, which can be called "vulnerable".
From this point of view, it is not difficult to go straight to the capital.
At that time, it will be the world of Tianjiao, and they will be the masters of the new dynasty!
When the sub-rulers spoke, their faces were full of red. Although they were still polite to Xie Wei, he could only be regarded as half a prisoner in the end, and the success of the front line was credited.
Who can admit that this credit goes to Xie Weida?
Isn't it just drawing a defense map?
In the final analysis, Zong Neng agreed. In the final analysis, there are countless people in the Tianjiao, and the morale of the reorganized army is amazing. Xie Wei's trick is just "icing on the cake".
So when discussing matters during the meeting, these people slapped their chests with their palms like cattail leaf fans, and there was a look of contempt in the eyes of the world, and they only said: "Don't worry, the leader, since the occupation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, there will be another good Tens of thousands of people have come to join our army. Wherever the banner of my teaching goes, the hearts of the people will follow, and the court is invincible. The power is exhausted, the strength is exhausted, and the leader of the teaching will be the new ruler of the world in the future!"
Wan Xiuzi was overjoyed when he heard this.
Although he knew that these words were somewhat flattering, it was true that tens of thousands of people came to join the army, and it was even true that the imperial court suffered a defeat and the army was distracted. Who in the world would not listen to compliments?
Xie Wei stood aside with his arms folded, and did not make any comments upon hearing the words.
If the sky wants to make it die, it must first make it crazy.
So what if tens of thousands of people join the army? Fighting a war is not as simple as eating. There are ordinary people who are making a living, who is willing to take the risk of losing their heads and take the initiative to join the army? I'm afraid that most of them are refugees and bandits, each with their own habits. If someone restrains them, they will gradually be able to reorganize and fight; but if no one restrains them, or if the restraints are improper, God knows what will happen.
It's just that if these people don't ask, he won't take the initiative to mention it.
Since there is a pit ahead, why not just watch them jump down like this?
He had already confessed his plan to Jiang Xuening last night, and the progress of the next half month was almost completely in line with his speculation.
After arriving at the Xuchang sub-helm, another good news from the front line—
The Tianjiao army won the city again, and this time there were not even too many casualties. Half of the soldiers defending the city could not resist half of the tide's attack, and finally opened the city gate and surrendered.
This battle boosted morale more than the previous one.
The imperial court took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender. What does this mean?
It shows that the prestige of their Tianjiao has reached the point of defeating others without fighting, and it is only a matter of time before they completely defeat the imperial court.
Because the consumption of this battle is not high, it is simply a short rest, without even taking a breather, and then advances and marches forward to attack the next city.
Who could have imagined this style of play?
That state capital was not prepared at all, nor did it receive any news in advance. It was too late to react when someone called at the door. All officials in the state capital were arrested, paraded through the streets, pushed to the guillotine, and beheaded by them under the watchful eyes of the people in the city.
Therefore, they stayed in Xuchang for more than ten days before transferring to Nanyang, but after arriving in Nanyang, they did not wait for two days before spreading the good news.
Upon hearing the news, the whole branch was elated!
Even Wan Xiuzi couldn't hold it back, his face was flushed, he couldn't stop laughing, and praised them for a good job. Now that the front line has won again, they decided not to stay in Nanyang, and set off for Runing Mansion.
Jiang Xuening had already learned of Xie Wei's overall plan, so naturally she couldn't help but sweat for him along the way, for fear that Wan Xiuzi would choose to act before Xie Wei.
Fortunately, Wan Xiuzi remained silent.
But when she heard that she was about to go to Runing Mansion, her heart was really suspended: because Runing is the place Xie Wei had chosen before, the outcome depends on it!
In the blink of an eye, it is already March in the south of the Yangtze River, the phenology is new, and the willows are Yiyi.
In the afternoon of this day, everyone set off for Runing.
Jiang Xuening and Xie Wei drove together.
Both the front and back of the carriage were taught by the Tianjiao, and even the handlebars driving the carriage were masters of the teaching, and the two of them did not dare to say anything blatantly.
Xie Wei took a roll of piano score and read it.
Seeing how calm he is, Jiang Xuening can't help but admire him for being able to read the score quietly at this time: "You really can keep reading."
Xie Wei rested his finger lightly on the yellowed edge of the book, raised his eyes to look at her, smiled lightly, and said: "Whenever there is a big event, there is a calmness, you are very irritable."
Jiang Xuening rolled her eyes.
Xie Wei knew that she had such a temperament in her heart, but even when she rolled her eyes, she felt a coquettish attitude of reproach, with a bit of true temperament that was not fake or pretentious, and she felt lingering in her heart, and she didn't want to be patient, so she stretched out her hand He picked up the person and hugged him and sat on his lap, holding the slender waist that he couldn't grasp, and kissed her tenderly.
In the previous life, Jiang Xuening would not have dared to think that she could be so close to Xie Wei, even hugging and hugging were so normal. In the beginning, it was natural to be resistant to unfamiliarity, but I couldn't avoid it, and it was not easy to avoid it. After more than a month, the initial discomfort of defense gradually disappeared, and I began to get used to it.
It's like drinking.
I just drank a few sips of spicy food and was not used to it, but after three or five cups, it was on my face and head, groggy, fluttering, I don't know why, and I can even feel a kind of exclusion of everything from this drunken state. There is only second pleasure.
Her mouth was small, and the tip of her tongue was soft, and when he sucked her in his mouth, she blushed unconsciously.
After all, it is still daylight.
In the past, when it was always at night, there was always a layer of darkness as a cover, but now you can see me clearly, and I can see you clearly, and occasionally the curtain of the carriage is blown up by the wind, allowing people to see people running outside. Horseshoes, the corners of the clothes hanging down by the congregation.
Even though Jiang Xuening had a thick skin, she didn't dare to act presumptuously in this situation.
Seeing that Xie Weijian was going too far, she couldn't help but stare.
He burst out laughing, leaned against her, and slowly lowered his hands, only holding her in his arms, leaning against the back wall of the carriage. His eyes turned around, looking at the car curtain that floated up from time to time, but the depths of his pupils were not as relaxed as he showed.
Runing Mansion is getting closer.
It was also getting dark.
Jiang Xuening lightly frowned and wiped the smudged lips, thinking that Xie Juan would be embarrassed when he did some things earlier, but he was so good at pretending that it was hard to be seen by others, but now he is very familiar with eating and drinking It seems to be normal.
She secretly slandered, but did not pay attention to Xie Wei.
Looking up after a while, he saw him lowering his head to untie the hidden blade on his wrist.
Since Luoyang killed someone that night, Xie Wei hid this thin blade and never appeared in front of others again. And after he used this knife to kill someone that day, he made a deeper cut on the wound. After all, the corpse of the Tianjiao restrained person was not an investigation, and the difference in the wound could not be easily seen. It was just that they were all killed by the knife he took away. Yes, of course I never doubted it, so I didn't know from the beginning to the end that he still had such a knife on him!
Seeing him remove the knife at this moment, Jiang Xuening's eyelids twitched.
However, after Xie Wei removed the knife, he asked her to reach out.
She doesn't know why.
Xie Wei pursed his lips, closed his eyelids, only pulled her wrist over, carefully tied the thin blade around her wrist, and said: "I don't know the situation at that time, if there is chaos, I may not be able to take care of everything. After a while For several years, if something unexpected happened in the secret room..."
The bottom of the eyes was covered with a shadow.
He didn't say any more.
Jiang Xuening was suddenly in a trance, looked at him, then slowly lowered her head, looked at the blade on her wrist, slowly raised her hand to press it, but asked dreamily, "What do you give me the knife for?"
Xie Wei felt that she looked a little strange.
So he answered first: "Having a sharp blade is better than empty hands. In case there is something, it can be used for self-defense. Although you may not be able to use it, it is better to have it than not."
Then he asked, "What's the matter?"
At this moment, Jiang Xuening's eyes dimmed, and tears rolled down her eyes.
In the last life, Xie Wei also had someone send a dagger.
Just put it quietly on the paint tray.
The **** who came didn't dare to say a word, only said that Grand Master Xie chose it and sent it to her. At that time, the government and the public, because Yan Lin frequently entered and exited her palace, accused her of being immoral, disgraceful, causing endless harm, and asked her to be buried as the late emperor...
But what can she do?
Yan Lin bullied her, but she was powerless to resist. After much deliberation, he managed to bribe the little **** of Qianqing Palace and let her in, as if grasping at a straw, wanting to ask him for protection.
Even if I am willing to be humble, I recommend myself as a pillow mat.
However, the next morning, I heard that the little **** had been punished.
In the evening, someone brought the dagger.
It is attached to the sheath and inlaid with precious stones, it is very delicate, but the setting sun is like blood, covering the icy tip of the blade, it is really cold to the bone.
Later she killed herself with a dagger and was buried, while both he and Yan Lin stood outside the palace gate...
Seeing her crying, Xie Wei couldn't help feeling a little more helpless, and raised his hand to wipe her tears.
But the teardrops didn't seem to stop.
It took her a while to recover, buried her face in her arms, closed her eyes tightly, and said slowly in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."
The sun outside had slanted, and the carriages and horses were rumbling, and the Runing Mansion finally arrived.
