Ukiyo heave

Two days have passed, and Jiang Dongwei came to welcome the New Year as scheduled.Before leaving, Jiang Dongwei and Jiang Dongshen talked about some family affairs, while Nian Quesheng said to Nian Queqing: "You are very smart, I don't need to tell you, you just know how to protect yourself. Nian's family is at a disadvantage now, and the waves outside are rough , remember not to confront them head-on.”

The disadvantage of the Nian family was actually caused by Yu Chisu, but Nian Keqing trusted him too much, and told him too many important things that could be called secret in the Nian family.His rebellion is bound to make things worse for the Nian family.

But the Nian family didn't know about all of this.

Nian Butqing nodded absent-mindedly, and Nian Butsheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I don't know if you don't tell me, Yuchisu has dealt you a big blow. But when he left, you still act as a A person from the Nian family stays. You have to live a good life after all, you are different from me, you don’t have Yuchi Su, at least there are still many people who love you. Don’t let them down.”

Nian Keqing still remembered the red necklace, raised his face and said, "Brother, where did you throw that red necklace?"

"That red necklace can pinpoint your whereabouts. Ruan Ruan lost it through the portal. I don't know. What's wrong?"

I want him to know that I'm back safe and sound.Nian Qing said: "Nothing."

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Nian Sheng didn't ask any more questions, but said, "You can still come here to find me if you have something to do, but be careful when you come here, understand?"

Nian Queqing nodded, and Nian Quesheng said: "Okay, let's go back."

Nian Queqing turned and jumped onto Jiang Dongwei's folding fan, looking at Nian Quesheng and Jiang Dongchen who were standing together.In fact, he really wanted to say that he didn't want to go back to the Nian's house where things were changing, but he still replied, "Brother, take your leave."

The folding fan slowly lifted into the sky, and gradually moved away from Qian Huandu. In Nian Queqing's eyes, it shrank into a very small dot, and finally disappeared.

Nian Queqing recalled that the night before yesterday, whether it was the second watch or the third watch, Nian Butsheng thought he had already fallen asleep, so he whispered to Jiang Dong, "I hope he can take care of the place I was missing at Nian's house this time when he goes back this time. part, come back to life in its entirety."

The disciple on duty of the Nian family rushed to Nian Fengling and Pingyu's bedroom in surprise and joy: "Side master! Ma'am! The third son of the Jiang family has brought the young master back!"

Ping Congee was startled at first, seeing the safe and sound Nian Queqing walking up from behind, immediately ran to hug him in his arms, hugged him hard and said in a trembling voice: "You child, you really scared the mother to death. Why have you been missing for so long, don't you miss home..."

Nian Queqing felt a little uncomfortable being hugged, but just now seeing Ping Congee's eyes were red and he looked haggard, he felt very guilty and said softly, "Okay, mother, I'm fine."

Ping Congee, as if afraid that he would never see him again, clings to him tightly and refuses to relax.Nian Fengling was happy in his heart, but he didn't show his face. Seeing that there was no way to get in, he turned to Jiang Dongwei and said, "Thank you very much."

Jiang Dongwei is obviously different from Jiang Dongshen. He is much better at lying than Jiang Dongshen. Hearing Nian Fengling's thanks, he said as usual: "It's okay. You don't need to thank me. I should have brought him back early in the morning, but when I saw him he didn't His body was injured and his condition was unstable, so he didn't report it because he was afraid that it would scare the snake away, which made Nian Fangzhu and Mrs. Nian worry."

Hearing the conversation here, Ping Congee learned that Nian Queqing was injured, so he quickly let go of him and said, "Where is the injury? How is the situation? You go back to the room, I'll call the doctor."

Jiang Dongwei turned to this side and saluted: "Mrs. Nian, Mr. Nian's wounds have been healed, but it will take a while for his spiritual power to recover. These days, please don't let him suffer from the wind and cold. The cold will make the spiritual veins Yin deficiency is not conducive to recovery."

I'm used to being arrogant and rude on weekdays, but now I was suddenly favored by someone, and I didn't know how to express it for a while, so I couldn't help but thank Jiang Dongwei.Jiang Dongwei was not rewarded for nothing. Hearing how grateful she was, she felt a little guilty, and hurriedly declined her kindness to stay for a meal, and declined: "The Jiang family still needs me to go back and report. There are many things that are not yet finished, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so let's go first." Retire."

Ping Congee didn't force him to stay, so he asked Ren Haosheng to send him back.After Jiang Dongwei left, Nian Fengling asked sharply: "Who hurt you, it's clear, don't lie."

Nian Queqing didn't intend to hide it either: "Who else could there be besides Yuchi's family?"

Nian Fengling's bad temper once again ignited across the board, furious, raised his sword and said desperately: "I'm going to take those despicable villains from Yuchi's family!"

Nian Queqing said: "Yuchisu is still in their hands, father, you go to declare war, what will you do if they hurt Yuchisu?"

"He got hurt when he got hurt, what's the matter with Guan Nian's family! If I don't say this, how can Nian's family have face to face people!"

"Father!" Nian Queqing yelled, "Can you stop beating one and the other at every turn? Can the current situation of Nian's family afford to continue fighting like that? The war between Nian's family and Yuchi's family can be avoided if you can. , In the end, both sides will suffer, who will win the game!"

Ping Congee stopped and said, "Okay, Feng Ling, Queqing just came back, so don't quarrel." Then he tried his best to speak warmly and said to Nian Queqing, "Queqing, where did Yuchisu go? "

Hearing the words, Nian Queqing seemed to have caught something in his grief-stricken mind, lowered his head, clenched his hands and said, "Xu... Xu was detained by Yuchi's family, I don't know too well."

Nian Fengling said coldly: "I asked him to protect you, why did he fall into the hands of Yuchi's family?"

Nian Queqing raised his face: "If there was no Yuchi Su, I'm afraid my bones would be completely cold by now."

Nian Fengling stopped talking, and Ping Porridge greeted Nian Queqing in a good voice: "Okay, don't be angry with your father anymore. In two days, I will ask him and the Patriarch to go to Yuchi's house to ask for someone. You go back to the house with me first." , I'll find a doctor to take good care of you."

At night, Nian Queqing sat alone in his room, looking at the flickering candles on the table blown by the wind, and suddenly realized what it was like to be alone in the past.

This room is usually cleaned by servants, it is clean and tidy inside and out, unlike Nian but Sheng's small house, everything is done by the two of them.However, in the last two days, after Nian Queqing found out about the relationship between Nian Quesheng and Jiang Dongchen, Nian Quesheng assigned Nian Que to do this and that all day long. Sheng took care of the wounded, but Nian stuck his neck out:

"I can't control him anymore? I didn't order him two days ago because of your face. You decocted medicine for him every day to regulate his body. Now he can run and jump with great difficulty. I can't." Let him do some work?"

To put it bluntly, he was still jealous, Jiang Dongchen curled his lips secretly, but Xiang Nian said clearly: "Listen to your brother, I can't save you."

In fact, it is nothing more than washing the dishes and sweeping the floor.Nian Keqing watched their quarrel amusingly, and the pampered son did not complain when he worked.However, Jiang Dongchen still felt a little sorry, after all, Nian was just a guest and younger than himself, so he stepped forward to take the broom in his hand and said, "Let me do it."

Nian Queqing almost felt that the back was pierced by two gazes, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, sit down."

Jiang Dongshen was taken aback when he heard the title, turned his head to Nian and asked, "You taught?"

Nian Sheng was noncommittal, sitting in front of the desk and flipping the pages of a book pretending to be deaf, but Ruan Ruan meowed, as if to say: "It's him who is shameless!"

Afterwards, Ruan Ruan was thrown out in the middle of the night, and at the end Jiang Dongshen had no choice but to pick up the abandoned cat. Taking advantage of the new year but not paying attention, he whispered to Ruan Ruan: "You can talk less, my little ancestor. He's here, you learn to be good."

Ruan Ruan nodded gratefully, saw Nian Sheng coming from the side room, ran over shyly and flatteringly rolled over, and "meowed" in his arms for a long time.Nian Sheng had a cold face: "What else can you do besides meow?"

Ruan Ruan: "Mi."

Nian Quesheng tried his best not to laugh, and said majesticly, "Get lost."

Ruan Ruan was pardoned and happily rolled away.

In fact, such scenes happen from time to time, but in the last two days, Nian Keqing occasionally saw his "alienated and cold" elder brother playing Ruan Ruan in Jiang Dong's arms, but Ruan Ruan was "meow meow" Meow", his elder brother is "嘤嘤嘤".Every time at this time, Nian Quqing heard goosebumps all over her body, turned and stared at Zhen Ruan Ruan, a little bit sorry for that Jiang Dongchen who was so helpless and gentle as if he didn't know how to get angry with that person.In the end, he felt that he was an eyesore here, so he hugged Ruan Ruan and rolled out consciously.

Nian Queqing almost wanted never to go back to Nian's house, and to spend his whole life in his elder brother's house with whom he had a "mortal enmity".However, he knew that he couldn't, he still had a heavy burden on his body, and he had to ask Yu Chisu to clarify the cause and effect.

Thinking of Yuchisu, Nian Quqing couldn't help feeling distressed, and looked up as if wanting to relax, only to see that the darkly lit residence opposite was the place where Yuchisu used to live.

The lamp in this room, I'm afraid that from now on, no Yuchisu will light it up by himself.

Nian Queqing was so heartbroken when he saw it, he removed his chair and went out to relax.

I don't know how many times Nian Quqing has walked through this huge Nian's house, but Nian Quqing secretly mocked himself as a woman in a deep palace, counting the moss and bricks in his palace thoroughly.After thinking about it, I still feel that there is only carp pond to go.

The moonlight is scattered, and the shadows are like algae.

There is only one figure in this shadow, and Nian Keqing is getting more and more sad when reflected.

Except for the rustling sound of the wind passing by the grass and trees, there was no one to accompany him.

So Nian Queqing started to lose his mind again as he walked, until he looked up again, and realized that he had gone the wrong way, walked too far, and inadvertently went as far as the small courtyard where Nian Quesheng used to live.Nian was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pushed open the creaking wooden door.

In the past when he came here, he was ridiculed and disdainful, but now he has some unspeakable empathy with the people who are no longer here.They have all gone, but Nian Qing stayed behind as a living person.He walked into this dilapidated little house, and everything around him was covered with dust.

Nian Qing didn't speak much, and even his mind gradually calmed down, as if he had absorbed a little strength from the courage left by his elder brother to fight life and death.And when he turned around again, this power disappeared instantly.

In front of Nian Queqing, there seemed to be a person standing.

He was only three steps away from him, without any emotion on his face, just standing there without saying a word.

Nian Queqing's heart skipped a beat at first, but this jump seemed to have fallen into the water, neither light nor heavy, and finally even the slightest ripples calmed down.Nian Qing said, "What are you doing here?"

Yuchi stayed silent.

Nian Qing said, "How did it come about?"

Yuchi Su said: "You have combined our two swords before, as long as we both have swords, I can see you by saying a formula."

Nian Quqing couldn't remember when this happened, and asked, "When?"

"The time Nian Quesheng hurt me with resentment."

Nian Queqing's sword was forged very early, but he felt it was heavy when he was a child, so he often didn't wear it, and only came and went with the sword after a series of incidents happened recently.Nian Queqing asked: "Then what are you doing here? Arrest me to your place?"

Yuchi Su said: "No."

Nian Quqing clasped his hands, and for a long time, he said: "You are not welcome at Nian's family, let's go."

Yuchisu remained silent, but Nian said clearly, "Do you think Nian's family can tolerate you after you did such a thing?"

Yuchisu lowered his head: "Sorry."

Nian Queqing smiled instead, and asked, "Sorry?"

The seven years you have been in Nianjia, the unconditional trust you have brought me in the seven years and all the lies you have given me, cannot be cleared by a single apology.

Nian Queqing suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, a ray of snow-white sword light approached Yuchisu's throat, Yuchisu refused to dodge, but Nian Queqing shouted: "Why don't you hide! If I kill you today, how can you kill me?" The Nian family will avenge your previous genocide! I have doubted everyone, but I have not doubted you alone, why are you lying to me!"

Yuchisu's eyes were clear, he didn't even glance at the white blade that almost cut into his throat, he just said: "You won't."

But Nian Qing let go of his hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a bang. He turned his head away and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Yuchi didn't move, but Nian Qing continued to himself: "I regard you as an elder brother, we can't go back to the old days, you can go."

Yuchisu hesitated for a moment, but said: "Ten days later, Yuchi's family will send troops to Nian's family... I will come too, but I will stand in the crowd and not show my face. Don't come here, it's dangerous."

Nian Qing secretly laughed at himself, and murmured: "You have been hiding in Nian's family for so many years, now that Nian's family is in trouble, you come back to help, what are you trying to do?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and said to Yu Chisu: "I always thought you were the most fair and upright gentleman, but now I think I was wrong. The Nian family didn't know that you had rebelled, and I wouldn't say so. You didn't My elder brother's battle to restrain Bai Yueguang is to tell Yuchi's family that I will return this favor to you. The past and grievances between us are negligible. If the Yuchi family wants to fight, even if you come, I will not reveal this battle Give half a point to the head of the family. You know the foundation of the Nian family very well, success or failure is not up to me, but to you."

Yuchisu was speechless, but Nian Quqing said again: "You go, I will tell the Patriarch later that he doesn't need to go to Yuchi's house to ask for someone again, the Yuchisu he brought back from the banquet is already dead."

Ten days later, Yuchi's family really approached the city, but the battle did not start because the Nian's family used an empty strategy.

Huang Ai was scattered, in the bleak east wind, Yuchi's family had horses and horses, and their morale was high, while Nian's family came out to fight, only one Nian Qingqing.

Yuchisu saw Nian Queqing, who was wearing the Nian's family robe with black background and orange stripes on the observation deck, and was instantly panicked, but Nian but Qing didn't even look at Yuchisu, only condescendingly looked down at the general who came from Yuchi's family , smiled and said: "In the next year, it will be clear, and we will fight here."

The entire Nian's mansion behind him was extremely quiet and extremely calm. The generals of the Yuchi family thought that the Nian's family was deliberately provocative, and shouted at Nian Queqing: "Why is there a child? Where are your adults? See them coming out to fight."

Nian was silent, his family robes fluttering in the wind, he suddenly remembered the Shuzhi Building he saw when he was 11 years old with his back facing the raging fire. Bai, unrestrainedly said to everyone in the Nian family:

"Where you want to detain me again is up to you. You can find another person to beat me to death, and I will still come out by myself."

But this year, Qingqing felt that he was becoming more and more like him in the process of being jealous of him, and looked at the people of Yuchi's family coldly and said: "You guys, it's not my turn to fight against these people."

The archers in the last row had already mounted their arrows, Yu Chisu looked back, anxious.Nian Queqing didn't care, and only lit up a bit of dark orange spiritual power on his fingertips, and said indifferently: "You all complain that Nian's family steals skills, okay. Today I don't use folding fans or flying flowers, let alone your Yuchi's Go, I just let you Get to know the basics of astrology. I'm an ignorant boy with little knowledge, if the effect is not good, please elders don't laugh at me."

As he spoke, Nian Keqing softly recited some difficult-to-understand tactic, and made the preparation process of the conferring spell deliberately grand and unpredictable. After finishing, he raised his left hand and pointed at the bow and arrow in the archer's hand from a distance. , shouted: "Give Wushen to have God, give Wushen to have spirit, get up."

As soon as the words fell, the bows and arrows in the hands of a group of archers turned into a group of bouncing little people one after another, running around on them and all over the ground.Nian Queqing laughed suddenly, and ordered: "Go and untie their armor, and scratch their itch."

Those villains did as expected, but in Nian Queqing's eyes, the group of archers was extremely funny, so Gu Zi smiled brightly on the observation deck.Yu Chisu had never seen the magic technique before, and he didn't expect Nian Queqing to keep such a hand, so he sent a message to the general: "They have left cards. I have been in Nian's house for many years, and I have never seen this kind of skill. Immortal skills must be guarded against."

The meaning is to tell the general to retreat, but the general raised his head, but Xiang Nian shouted: "Stop playing tricks, you are clearly demons and sorcerers!"

Nian turned his face straight, but the smile on the corner of his mouth remained undiminished: "Sorcery? You have never seen our Nian family's astrology, so you are defenseless. We Nian family can learn such little tricks, but we just don't care about it." I’ll just tell you.” As he spoke, he raised his eyes and saw the huge battle drum of Yuchi’s house, squinted his eyes, and said meaninglessly, “Mmm—this one is not bad.”

The magic technique is really the least labor-intensive, but Nian Shengxu didn't know that the little people he usually summoned to order to bring tea, pour water, wipe the table and sweep the floor actually frightened Yuchi's family around.In the Qing Dynasty, the war drums were given and the battle flags were given.A group of adults and villains ran around all over the place.Nian Keqing leaned his hands on the railing and joked downwards: "General Yuchi, I see that you are short of a wife now. See which flower tree in my house suits you. I will give you a girl."

General Yuchi stood up with his sword in hand, and the game of Go in his hand was waiting to be determined, but Nian Queqing rushed to clap his hands first: "Zhan Drum, take your general back."

Sure enough, the war drum grabbed General Yuchi's sleeve and pulled him back to the ground.Nian Queqing watched with great interest the soldiers from Yuchi's family wrestling with the villains. The human figure created by the magic spell was indestructible. It was cut off at the waist and then stitched up. It will only recover automatically when a stick of incense arrives. .But Nian thought it was almost time to settle the matter, and shouted: "Bows and arrows, you can rest."

The archer stopped in response, and changed into his original form for a moment.Nian Queqing said: "General Yuchi, the younger generation is disrespectful today, please forgive me, the younger generation really doesn't want to fight with the general. Why don't you withdraw your troops first? A few days ago, I was arrested by your mansion and almost died. Today, my father insisted that I come out on my own. Settle the bill, I think it's almost time, and my mother may be in a hurry if I don't go back." Nian Queqing smiled, "After all, I am a child, and I have to obey the adults when I do things. General, you just take care of it."

It's all here, so there's no reason to go back when you say it, not to mention being played around by a young child, wouldn't you be laughed at by outsiders?The general wanted to refuse, but suddenly Nian Keqing's eyes lit up. He didn't know what novelty he saw, and the spiritual power of his fingertips also lit up.The general's heart skipped a beat, he gritted his teeth without hesitation and said, "Retreat!"

The archers lost their face and couldn't wait to withdraw their troops.The people from Yuchi's family had no choice but to go back in despair, while Nian Queqing stood on the watchtower, watching the mortal world disappear, the smile on the corner of his mouth narrowed bit by bit, and finally disappeared.

In the end, he looked at the long road that had gone without a trace, looked at the dust that had not yet fallen, and he did not know who he was talking to:

"Take care of yourself."
