【Two hundred and forty-three】The journey of the water tower

"Since that's the case, it's so night, why do you have to come out and make trouble?"

As the cool breeze blew, the trees in the yard made a rustling sound. Jiang Chengjia hurriedly walked around his right and stood on his side, blocking the chill for him, and blaming him: "Although it is already spring and the weather is getting better, it is still very cold at night. How can you resist blowing now? You don't stop the people who serve you around you?"

She muttered, and after taking a half step, she lifted up her cloak and covered her in front of Ning Nanyou, for fear that he would get cold and his condition would go back and forth.

Ning Nanyou looked up at her, his eyes light and gentle: "Aren't you angry?"

Jiang Chengjia was stunned. He didn't react for a long time. His beautiful face sank and said speechlessly: "That little sentry told you about my temper?"

Unexpectedly, the husband was stunned and said strangely: "Who did you lose your temper?"

The girl was embarrassed for a moment and faintly covered her: "It's nothing. Why do Junhou think I'm angry? I don't have such thoughts."

The husband covered his eyelashes, relaxed his heart, and smiled into his eyes, and said softly: "I thought you came back in the afternoon and saw that I was not in the house to rest well, and I was angry."

Jiang Chengjia said laughing and crying: "Junhou has said that it was Nian Qian's instructions. How could I get angry with such a brainless one?"

"Then why did you suddenly escape?"

As she heard this question, she suddenly didn't know how to answer.

In the few days after she left the border town, she was actually uneasy. She rushed back to the prefect's mansion and went to the South Courtyard, but did not see him, and she was panicked. In this way, she always felt worried about gains and losses, and the emotions that were surging were not easy to fade away. She could not control herself in front of him, so she fled in panic.

Ning Nanyou waited for her to speak, but he didn't hear her answer for a long time. So he looked over and saw the girl staring at the buds that were about to bloom not far away, not knowing what she was thinking. He quietly stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeves. His two bright eyes were shining with stars, without saying a word, and looked at her softly.

Jiang Chengjia was awakened by his pulling, unconsciously lowered her eyes to look at him, and then fell into his clear, soft and quiet eyes like a lake, and could not come out.

After a while, she shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "You guy, you insist that I say something shameless before I will give up?"

"I ran away because I was too embarrassed at that time? I couldn't help but cry in front of you... I couldn't control my emotions."

Ning Nanyou's eyes were bent, forming a pair of crescent moons, warm and affectionate: "I thought... why did you suddenly ignore me? So that's it."

He said, "You didn't have to cover up anything in front of me."

Jiang Chengjia curled his lips slightly, smiled in his eyes, and replied softly: "Yes, yes, yes, I know what you are thinking. I will not do such a futile thing next time, which will make you worry for no reason."

She paused, then asked again, "You are here for this?"

Ning Nanyou: "What if it is?"

The girl couldn't help but frown, patted her palm gently on his shoulder, and said angrily: "You are too willful!"

She was a little angry. The husband stared at her and couldn't help laughing. He pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay... I won't tease you anymore. I'll do it, so of course there are other important things to tell you."

Jiang Chengjia twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "I know."

Ning Nanyou gently held her hand, pulled her, and brought her closer to him, deliberately lowered her voice and said, "The news came from the south that Liao Yuncheng had found the second dragon hu with the clues given by Deng Qing. General Yue Fu is saved."

Jiang Chengjia said in surprise: "But take it seriously?"

Ning Nanyou nodded: "This news is fresh and hot, how dare you be false?"

"This is a good thing... It's been half a year, and finally there is a big happy event, which is really not easy."

Jiang Chengjia clenched his left fist and slapped it on his right palm, and said happily: "Wait, I'll write a letter to tell my sister-in-law."

She turned her steps and was in high spirits, and wanted to rush into the house immediately.

But the husband grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, I have sent this report to Jiang Mansion with a quick whip."

Jiang Chengjia stopped and stopped beside him: "Are you quick?"

Ning Nanyou held her slender fingers, his eyes hesitated, and hesitated for a moment, saying, "Aluo, there is something I want to discuss with you. In less than half a month, I should set off for Liangzhou. However, a sudden plague broke out in the Xiongnu military camp, and he had no choice but to retreat and withdraw from the Great Wei territory. The coalition forces gathered outside Liangzhou were originally promoted by Ashanda. Now the Xiongnu lost the border city and retreated again. I believe... the alliances of various countries will be disintegrated soon..."

He stopped talking at this point.

Jiang Chengjia looked at him and said, "So?"

"So, this time we go to Liangzhou, we will definitely be able to withdraw the coalition forces of various countries. I think this matter will be solved in less than one month. If I can successfully dispel my father's suspicion, I can leave the border early and leave the rest to my uncle and Uncle Xiao for handling."

Jiang Chengjia felt strange and asked in confusion: "You want to leave Liangzhou early?"

Ning Nanyou nodded, then calmed down and looked at her silently.

The girl turned her beautiful eyes and thought about it carefully before she understood what he meant: "Are you trying to take a detour to go south to Kuaiji?"

"Sure enough, Aluo knows what I want best."

But she frowned and said uneasy: "Does Junhou want to see General Yue Fu?"

Ning Nanyou nodded, but saw the girl's expression was heavy, not very willing, so she changed her face slightly, "Don't you want me to go to Kuaiji?"

Jiang Chengjia stared at him silently, and after a moment, his eyelashes dropped, feeling depressed.

"Why?" He felt very confused.

Jiang Chengjia sighed, "The situation of General Yue Fu is not suitable to meet people. I am just afraid that you will be scared by his current appearance. Although he saved his life, he was infected with a strange poison, his body became bloated and terrifying, and his face was no longer the same as before... Even if there is Longhu, it may not be able to relieve the toxins on his body."

"I'm not afraid, even if General Yuefu looks like a ghost, I'm not afraid. I just want to see him. If possible, I want to take Yue Chong with me."

The husband's attitude was very firm and hesitant and fearful.

But Jiang Chengjia was very embarrassed: "Erlang, I naturally want you to meet General Yuefu, but... it's not that I don't want to, but General Yuefu, he himself is unwilling to see anyone. Over the years, he has been keeping himself in the house. Except for the doctors in the water tower and the personal servants who serve him, no one is allowed to enter, and no one is seen. He doesn't even see me and my brother... What's more, it's you?

General Yue Fu escaped from the desert, but witnessed his own eyes how his father died at the hands of the Huns... He was greatly stimulated, and heard that the sect of the Jingzhong tribe was slaughtered, and hated the people who manipulated the matter. He didn't know the truth back then, and just thought you were the son of the Regent Huai King. If he knew you were in the Shuilou..."

She said this, and couldn't bear to continue speaking, and she also knew that these words had touched his heartache.

Ning Nanyou fell silent, his eyes drooped bit by bit, and he said bitterly: "It turns out that I am delusional... I hope Uncle Yue can still treat me like before."

Jiang Chengjia stumbled a little and said, "This is not impossible. But... we must proceed step by step. Nowadays, the world still has a deep misunderstanding of the Yue family. No matter how Yuefu General is, it is impossible to treat the people in the Regent Huai Palace calmly. If the grievances of the ancestors can be calmed down in the future, Yuefu, Lu, and Murong can be corrected. I believe that General Yuefu will definitely be willing to see you."

Although she knew how sharp and hurtful these words were for Ning Nanyou. But if she didn't say it at this time, if she really took him to Kuaiji and saw Yue Fu's disgusting appearance of him, it would be even more sad.

"I know what you said." Ning Nanyou said lightly, and then he became silent again.

Jiang Chengjia said panickedly: "You, since you still want to take Yue Chong with you... Why don't we consider the reunion of their father and son first? Let's settle what's in your mind. I can order someone to make arrangements and tell General Yue Fu slowly, and after he has some preparation in his heart, let Yue Chong enter the water tower to see him?"

Ning Nan asked worriedly: "Do you agree that Yue Chong meets Yue Uncle?"

"They were father and son in the end. They could hide it for a while, but not for a lifetime. When they were there, it would be a good time to meet them. Why would I not allow this?"

The husband sighed, "Well. It's okay for me to bear it. Uncle Yue finally has a deep grudge against me because of his father's reasons. I know this. Since that's the case... As the wife wants, let's arrange the meeting between Yue Chong and Uncle Yue first."

Although he agreed, he was unhappy in his heart. Although he tried his best to hide it, the sadness was still revealed inadvertently.

Jiang Chengjia squatted down, held his hands tightly, and said softly: "Erlang, I know the pain in your heart. But, if you endure the pain for a moment, why worry about not having a date for reunion in the future? Deng is already over, and the day to wash the snow is just around the corner... Isn't it?"

She was the person who was most reluctant to hurt him with such a thing, but it was better to have a short pain than long pain. She took care of her for many years but failed to get permission from this person. When she entered the room, she could only look far away through the paper window, let alone Ning Nanyou. Even though she knew the urgency of the husband, she did not want him to be humiliated.

She comforted her softly.

Ning Nanyou closed his eyes, took a deep breath, covered his chest that was so painful, and gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. I'm right. If I don't get together at this time, it's the future."

The girl hugged him quietly: "Yes. That's right."

She stopped and said, "Since the matter has been discussed, I will push you back to Nanyuan? The darker the night, the cooler it is. The wind is irritating. If you blow it for a while, I am afraid I will have to work hard again and take care of you all night."
