Shuangjiao

For Wen Jiming, the cruelty of war is not what frightens him the most.

The Xiongnu fought long-term, lacked supplies, and went deep into the Central Plains, leaving their hometowns, and were completely surrounded by the coalition forces.This war must be won.

Therefore, after recapturing Luoyang, Wen Jiming and Wei Su kept half of each according to the agreement, and at the same time, Wei Su would continue to pursue the Huns.

Wen Jiming has no objection to these.It's just that after taking back Luoyang, Liu Xiancong's actions in the south made him really annoyed.

——Liu Xiancong dared to miss Wen Xueqing!

Right now, the flood of gifts has arrived in Linzhou, and Liu Xiancong thinks he has shown full sincerity.

Of course, among those gifts, Ling Rou also had a share.

When he left Luoyang, he was too hasty and didn't have many valuables. Fortunately, Zhao Wang was righteous and believed that the emperor's marriage was a major event in the world, so he opened his storehouse and let Liu Xiancong choose.

All the gifts are transported by water to the god pot.

After the marriage contract was dissolved, Wen Xueqing left Linzhou, and has since severed contact with Gao Lan.Now that Wen Xueqing is back, Gao Lan has no intention of getting in touch with her.only……

Gao Qi took the initiative to contact her instead.

Not only did he congratulate Wen Xueqing, but he also cheekily said that he would reconcile the old relationship with the Wen family.

"Fix your head!"

When Wen Guanghe got the letter, he didn't even look at it, so he sent it directly to Wen Xueqing.Before Wen Xueqing could look at it, she was taken away by Lingrou.

"What's wrong?" Wen Xueqing saw Ling Rou speak so bluntly for the first time.

The surrounding servants all looked sideways at Ling Rou.

"Don't go to the magic pot!" Lingrou ordered directly, "What the hell is he, Gao Qi?! Repeatedly, do you really think the Gao family is indestructible?!"

In fact, what makes Ling Rou most angry is not Gao Qi himself, but the attitude of the entire Gao family, including Gao Lan.

——They all leaned towards Liu Xiancong, and they almost didn't say congratulations to Wen Xueqing.

Resuming contact again, Gao Lan's first greeting was actually to persuade Wen Xueqing to jump into the fire pit, which made her really annoyed.

Even though Wen Xueqing never mentioned it, Ling Rou still knew that Wen Xueqing didn't have many friends, and now that Li Junjun was missing, there was only Gao Lan left.

Although Gao Lan chose the family in the marriage contract, Wen Xueqing still didn't blame her too much.

Not a single complaint was made afterwards.

It's just a pity.

"Father asked me what to do with the things from the south." Seeing Lingrou mentioning the magic pot, Wen Xueqing hesitated for a moment, but said simply, "Some of them are for my aunt, it would be bad if I refused all of them." .”

After Wen Xueqing said this, Lingrou also remembered that she had her own part in it.

"I'll just go to the god pot." Ling Rou said, "I will help get Her Highness's share back to her." As for Wen Xueqing's, no matter how expensive they are?

"But I also want to go." Wen Xueqing is bound to win the magic pot.

Returning the letter to Wen Xueqing, Ling Rou said: "What about the Gao family? They won't stop."

"Perhaps Gao Lan thinks that I finally got married, so she might be happy for me..." Wen Xueqing couldn't laugh when she said that.

Before the world was in chaos, the Wen family was not optimistic about Liu Xiancong.Princess Lekang even racked her brains to take Wen Xueqing out of Luoyang.

Now Gao Lan said that this is a good marriage, and I hope she will take good care of it.

How could the Wen family rely on Liu Xiancong?

Ling Rou already had resentment: "Gao Lan is so happy, why doesn't she marry herself?"

Now that Liu Qiong is in Linzhou is already an open secret, it depends on when Liu Qiong officially reveals his identity.

Ling Rou was also worried, what if the Wen family really intended to support Liu Xiancong?After all, Liu Qiong is still young and weak, and the Wen family has no ambitions for the imperial power and throne, but it does not conform to the Wen family's principles of life.

The real aristocratic family should be to recover and survive, and to be loyal to the revitalization of the country.

It can be seen that the Wen family hopes that the world will settle down quickly.

Especially when Wei Su's determination to proclaim himself emperor was still not so firm, if Liu Xiancong could move faster, he might not be able to settle down.

If Linzhou falls to Liu Xiancong...

If the Ling and Wen families give up on Liu Qiong...

In the beginning, Lingrou hoped that Liu Qiong would grow up safely, but seeing her nephew getting better and better, especially because he still had great ambitions, Lingrou was really not reconciled.

But the Ling family was already in the Ling family 16 years ago, and she didn't have the confidence to fight head-on with the Wen family, and she was not an important person who could decide the Ling family.

Unless Liu Qiong can fully grow up, she will have the confidence.

Thinking of this, Ling Rou was startled suddenly.

Most of the decision makers of history are men, but women are not completely useless.

Her chance is clearly in front of her eyes!

If she still doesn't act at this time, she will really miss Wen Xueqing.

Lingrou asked: "...Zhenzhen, what do you think of A Qiong?"

Wen Xueqing replied: "I would still like to keep him, what does Qiniang think?"

She had already expressed in front of Wen Guanghe that she would support Liu Qiong.It's just that she is not completely sure yet, and she doesn't want Ling Roukong to be happy.

The current Wen Xueqing can only do her best to let Liu Qiong grow up, so that the rest of the Wen family can see his value.

As long as Liu Qiong is worth it.

"Qiniang, I never said it before, I hope it's not too late for me to say it now—"

Wen Xueqing looked at Lingrou and said, "I have a bad temper, but I'm also stubborn. If I say something, I won't turn back even if I hit the south wall."

Even if my head is broken, I will not regret it.

As long as there is a possibility, I will try my best to do it.

Eye sockets were sore and hot, Lingrou stopped talking, lest Wen Xueqing see her embarrassed appearance, but she was already slurring: "Then...well, let's go to the magic pot together."

If Wen Xueqing is working hard to win, what reason does she have to leave her alone?It turned out that when she was worried, Wen Xueqing had already been acting silently by herself.

===

"Zhenzhen..." Lingrou pulled Wen Xueqing's sleeve worriedly, "Gao Lan is here."

As soon as Wen Xueqing arrived at Shenhu, Gao Lan's famous post arrived at the place where she was staying.

But Wen Xueqing kept ignoring her.

Now Gao Lan came to find her in person.

"Zhenzhen, long time no see!" Gao Lan acted as if nothing had happened, but was still enthusiastic, "I heard that you traveled from Luoyang to Linzhou alone, but you were almost scared to death."

"Not alone," Wen Xueqing interrupted her, "I came back with Qiniang."

Seeing Gao Lan turn her gaze over, Ling Rou smiled at the right time.

Gao Lan was quite sensible, so she didn't bring Zhang Xiao along.

"Hello, Miss Gao," Wen Xueqing said coldly, "I haven't seen you for a while."

The atmosphere was indifferent to embarrassing, if there were no servants shouting as background, the three of them would be speechless right now.

Gao Lan stroked the loose hair on her temples, and tilted her head slightly: "I thought that Zhenzhen would not come back, but I didn't expect Luoyang to fall in a blink of an eye, and now the grandson has successfully ascended the throne and asked to marry Zhenzhen... Brother, he is also happy for Zhen Zhen."

Wen Xueqing squinted at her and remained silent.

"Your Majesty is so kind to Zhenzhen, and sent so many things over..."

Gao Lan had nothing to say.

Ling Rou followed with great interest: "It's mine too."

"Oh... really?" Gao Lan shut her mouth tightly in embarrassment.

No wonder Ling Rou is also here, she thought that Liu Xiancong's single-mindedness must be Wen Xueqing.

"If you want me to marry, you need a god pot to dowry." Wen Xueqing said, "If you want to go to the south, I have discussed it with my father. I still need a god pot, but I need my brother to help me take care of it..."

Gao Lan's face turned pale.

Wen Jiming took back most of the power of the Gao family because of the ruined marriage. If Wen Xueqing gets married, the Wen family will follow the original rules and marry off most of the god pot. What is left of the Gao family?

Ling Rou added to the fire: "It's not necessary to go to the south, maybe the grandson will return to Luoyang in the future. Before that, Zhen Zhen can also live in Linzhou for a long time."

Luoyang has been taken back, and it seems that it will be a matter of time before it returns to Liu Xiancong.It's just that there is still Wei Su to worry about.

Before that, if Liu Xiancong marries Wen Xueqing and uses Linzhou as his base, he can confront Wei Su.

At that time, Wen Xueqing will be able to take charge of the Shenhu as a matter of course, and with Liu Xiancong, maybe the Gao family will quit the Shenhu completely and leave Linzhou.

Seeing that Gao Lan was in a daze without answering, Wen Xueqing stopped talking nonsense, took out a long flute from her sleeve, and handed it to Gao Lan.

"Originally, I was thinking about this matter before going to the Gao Mansion to pay you back." I just didn't expect the Gao family to be so restless. Although it might be the intention of the people behind it, Wen Xueqing didn't want to think so much anymore.

Gao Lan disappointed her too much.The bright and innocent little lady who used to be is no longer there.

Wen Xueqing: "There is no next year, and there will be no future." They had agreed that they would go out to the streets again in the coming Yuan Festival.And it's only been a little over a year.

Wen Xueqing: "Tell Gao Qi, I won't marry anyone, don't worry about it."

Gao Lan looked down at Zizhuxiao, but refused to answer it.

Wen Xueqing didn't make the appointment for a long time, and the family was in a hurry, so she came as ordered.Previously, because of the marriage contract, the Wen and Gao families had turned against each other, and the Gao family's vitality was severely damaged by this.She thought that Wen Xueqing would be happy to marry Liu Xiancong, and would feel relieved about her.

But... that doesn't seem to be the case.

This is completely different from what she expected.

Gao Lan's body trembled: "Zhenzhen..." Are they finally finished?

"Gao Lan, let's stop here."

As soon as the words fell, the bamboo flute in Wen Xueqing's hand cracked and broke in two.

She could understand and forgive Gao Lan's ignorance the first time, but not the second time.In particular, Gao Lan still wants to be the same as before without any guilt.

How can this be?

She, Wen Xueqing, has never been easy to get along with.

With a casual throw, the two cut bamboos just fell into the rolling river.

===

"Are you okay?" After Gao Lan left, Ling Rou spread out Wen Xueqing's palm, and slid her fingers inch by inch to check her palm, "If you are angry, you will be angry. What are you fighting for? What if you hurt yourself?"

That bamboo flute was bought from a street stall, and the workmanship is not that fine.Wen Xueqing kept it because of Gao Lan.

In fact, Wen Xueqing didn't expect to be so heartless at first.This is entirely the result of a hot head.

Fortunately no thorns.

Ling Rou put it in Wen Xueqing's hand with confidence, but she held it back.

"I only have you now." Wen Xueqing held her hand tightly.

"No, I will never let go."

Ling Rou clasped her fingers together.

In the past, she didn't know and struggled alone, but now she won't.

A man in Tsing Yi got off the boat silently, watched them not far away, and sighed secretly.

In fact, he already knew when he let Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou escape from Luoyang. Once they can return to Linzhou, their relationship will never be the same again.

——Because at that time, no one could stop them.
