MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 189 It's just that you don't dare to bet

  Xie Chang Yuan was making tea in the gazebo.

  It snowed heavily overnight and cleared up in the morning.

  It is rare that there is no wind at the lakeside, only the lake surface is as ice-like as a mirror, and there is no sign of melting in the sun.

  In the past, in this kind of weather, he would definitely practice shooting with Xie Nanci.

  On a cold winter day, it is hearty to work out a body of sweat.

   It's just that his body is not as good as before, and he can't dance with the gun, and there is no one to accompany him to practice the gun anymore.

   Not only is there no one to accompany him to practice guns, but even to drink tea with him.

  Xie Nanzhi is good at tea art. Before he got married, Xie Nanzhi always served the tea in his room himself.

   Sang Liu came here just now.

  cry before him.

   "Master, Master must not force Empress any more!"

Sang Liu is no longer the sneaky little girl who followed Xie Nanzhi back then. She has been in the palace for many years, and she already has the aura that a person in the palace should have. I’ve seen the little Highness, I couldn’t sleep all night, I finally fell asleep, and I just found out when the slaves were packing up the dowry..."

  Sang Liu presented a letter.

   Or rather, a suicide note.

  The water was already boiling, but Xie Chang Yuan ignored it, but opened the "suicide note" and read it again.

   "A Yu:

   Treat Mrs. Xie kindly.

  Be kind to Yuer.

   I owe you a lot, and I will repay you in the next life. "

   Emperor Jiahe's name was taboo Chu Yu, and he hadn't been called by anyone for many years.

   It turned out that she put all the crimes on herself last night, and was going to apologize for her "sin" with death?

   Did it push her to such an extent?

  Xie Chang Yuan put the piece of letter paper into the stove, and the flames sprang up and devoured it inch by inch.

   Xie Changyuan was furious when he first learned of Pei You's existence.

  The eldest son born in the middle palace, according to Xie's status in the court back then, and according to the little emperor's love for Xie Nanzhi, he must be a crown prince at birth, with no match for dignity.

  The Xie family has a chief minister, a queen empress, a hussar general, and a crown prince, who can stand in Xie Changyuan's way in the future? !

  But his daughter, who had always followed the rules, sent him away silently without anyone knowing, and made the Princess Zhaohe favored for so many years.

   It's a joke in the world!

   But after being angry, as the head of the Xie family, he had to think about the future of the Xie family.

  The little emperor is not what it used to be, and the power of the Xie clan is far from what it used to be. If he uses Xie Nanzhi to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix to talk about things, and punish her and Xie's crimes, Xie's family will be in great trouble.

  So the first ones he decided to get rid of were the Wangs and his wife.

  Back then, Xie Nanzhi arranged for Pei You to be sent to Lingnan, in order to take care of everything. But she didn't expect that there would be frequent wars on the Lingnan border, and there would be frequent epidemics. In less than half a year, all the people who protected Pei You to Lingnan lost contact.

  The Wangs said that they adopted Pei You when he was four years old. Who knows if there is something hidden?

  Besides, having such a pair of poor adoptive parents is not a glorious thing for Pei You.

  Dead but leave a memory for people.

  The second one is naturally Wen Tingchun.

  Under his persecution, Xie Nanzhi told the whole story about that year.

  She actually tolerated a court official who watched the little prince being carried out of the palace with her own eyes live to this day, and even lived under her nose, becoming a fourth-rank official of Honglu Temple!

   When did you have other thoughts?

  Probably when Pei You returned to Beijing to report on his duties at the Jiangnan Supervisory School.

  He happened to go to the harem to see Xie Nanzhi that day, and when he came out, he bumped into their resolute, wise and martial emperor, His Majesty, standing at the gate of Qinzheng Hall, watching Pei You leave.

  The pride and pride in those eyes, full of expectations and hopes, pierced into his heart like a sharp knife.

  He used to look at Xie Nanci like that.

  His youngest son, fought on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, made outstanding achievements at the age of seventeen, and was awarded the title of General Hussars at the age of nineteen.

  Everyone said that Xie Changyuan was the most accomplished patriarch of the Xie family in the past century, but he didn't think so.

His southern diction, martial arts, and marksmanship have long surpassed him, and his essays, he can write poems at the age of three, and he can write poems at the age of seven. If he takes part in the scientific examination, he may not be worse than those champions; he even brought out Xie Jiajun with one hand and killed countless enemies , made countless contributions.

  He is Xie's hope!

   But such a dazzling star fell when he was only twenty-five years old.

  After ten years of fighting abroad, he didn't even have time to start a family, so he died alone in the northern border battlefield.

  Xie Chang Yuan refused to accept it!

  He stayed well in southern Xinjiang, why should he be transferred to northern Xinjiang?

  The battle was obviously won, why did his Nan Ci die there? !

   It was the little emperor who did it on purpose.

   It was the little emperor who made a move!

  The Xie family is powerful, and he has been jealous for a long time, how can he tolerate the Xie family becoming another patriarch who is more dazzling than Xie Changyuan?

  Xie Chang Yuan was extremely determined.

  He fought countless Nanci, how could he die in such an inconspicuous battle?

   They were tricked!

  But now, the person who plotted against them actually got his wish and had an outstanding eldest son.

  He has no objection to letting the child return to the position of crown prince, but he wants the father to be kind and the son filial?

  He wanted them to be like fire and water, turning against each other.

  That's why he later explored "Xiaoya", and explored knowledge and hoped to return to the village.

  The dearest relatives and loved ones died in the hands of Emperor Jiahe, and the father and son have rested in peace since then, which can be regarded as revenge for Xie Nanci's vain death.

   It's just that he didn't expect that such a trivial matter would be worth Xie Nanzhi's death?

   It seems that he is extremely sinful.

  Xie Chang Yuan raised his gray eyebrows, finally opened the pot of boiling water, and threw some tea leaves into it.

  He is not bad at writing, but he doesn't pay much attention to literati. He doesn't care how the tea should be brewed to make it fragrant, as long as there is a cup of tea to drink.

   Just act as he does, as long as he can achieve his goal.

   Xie Nanzhi's side didn't work, he had other ways.

  When Wen's Ah Ning died at his hands, even if Emperor Jiahe didn't commit suicide himself, people would die because of him. From then on, when the two meet each other, they will feel like a thorn in their throats and will not be happy.

  Xie Chang Yuan poured a cup of boiling hot tea, it was cold, and after a while, the tea temperature was right.

   He took a sip, frowning.

   Undrinkable.

   I don't know how well Wen's Ah Ning's tea art is. When we go on the road together, we must force her to serve him for a while.

   After drinking a cup of tea, someone hurried over from the long corridor, stepped forward and knelt down: "Master, Mo Xuan has missed!"

  Almost at the same moment, the galloping carriage on Chang'an Street was stopped, Gu Fei pulled the reins quickly, and looked in amazement at Shiliu who was rushing forward, sweating profusely.

  Before he asked, Pei You from inside had already come out.

  Sixteen immediately knelt down and said, "Young Master, Madam has been taken away!"

-

  On a morning that couldn't be more ordinary, before noon, all the gates in the east, west, north, south, and south of the capital were suddenly blocked.

   At the same time, a group of unknown persons searched the capital.

  For such a disturbing behavior, someone immediately reported it to the officials, but the people who came to Jingzhao Mansion also left angrily, and the search continued.

  Someone recognized the man guarding the city gate, who seemed to be the guard who often drove the carriage for the son of the Duke of the State.

  Some people also said that when they saw people from Jingzhao Mansion coming, the unknown person showed the badge of Guogong Mansion.

  The Duke’s mansion has always kept a low profile from the Duke to the Prince. What kind of event has this happened? !

  Linglan was in tears in Qinghui Hall.

  It's just a blink of an eye.

  Seeing the secret guards summoned by Shiliu fighting those men in black, she also followed Wen Ning to the Duke's mansion. Seeing that there was only one corner before the gate of the mansion, two people rushed out, knocked Wen Ning unconscious and took him away.

  She didn't even bother to shout, and hurried back to tell Shiliu to stop.

  The men in black also stopped when they heard that the girl had been taken away.

  But wait for them to chase again, but there is no trace.

"No, it's grey, the kind of cloth shirt that's most common on Chang'an Street." Linglan cried while describing to Tu Bai the appearance of the man who captured Wen Ning, "Both of them are about the same size as Wang Qinsheng, thinner than him. .”

   "But I didn't see the appearance, the movement was too fast."

  Tu Bai focused his attention, painting as she described.

  But no matter the clothes, or the body shape, there are a lot of people on the street, obviously the other party came prepared.

   "Are these two people the same as those men in black? Have you caught the men in black?"

   Seeing Tubai's expression of embarrassment, Linglan grabbed his arm and asked, "Where is your son? Are you looking for a girl? Do you have any clues?"

   Tubai didn't answer.

  Gu Fei immediately led people to seal the gates of various cities, and most of the secret guards in the capital, including the guards in the Duke's Mansion, were mobilized.

  But tonight, the capital will be turned upside down.

  As for the son...

  When he heard the news, he turned to Xie's mansion.

   Half an hour has passed now.

  In the morning, the sun came out of the clouds for a while, and after noon, it hid behind the thick dark clouds again.

  The sky is gloomy, and it looks like another heavy snow is brewing.

  By the long lake in Xie Mansion, the ice is still there, the wind has not yet blown, and without the sun, it is not as pleasant as in the morning, but there is a charcoal stove on the table, so it is not cold.

  It’s just tea boiled on a charcoal stove. Now it has been replaced by a pot of snacks. The people sitting around the stove have also changed from one person to two.

  Xie Chang Yuan happily poured Pei You a glass of wine.

   "Before, I only invited you to drink tea and play chess, and I have never had a meal with you. Today is a complete success."

  Sake poured into the cup, Pei You lowered his eyes, but didn't move.

   "What? It's just a lunch with the old man, so difficult?" Xie Changyuan raised his eyes, looking at this grandson who even looked more like him than Xie Nanci.

   Xie Nanci's excellence is unmatched by anyone, but he was born rich, without the hostility of this child.

  If he wasn't very old, he would be interested in training him for a few years, and the results would be quite surprising.

  Pei You's eyelashes moved slightly, and when she raised her eyes, there was nothing in her dark eyes.

  He didn't say anything, just followed what Xie Chang Yuan said, and ate with chopsticks.

  Xie Chang Yuan then said again: "Having suffered so much for so many years, do you have no complaints in your heart?"

  Pei You's clenched fist in his sleeve has long been loosened, and his emotions are hidden in his silent eyes: "Nothing."

   "Is there always something to blame the old man?"

  Pei You looked up coldly: "Master Xie, they are just poor people, why trample on them?"

  Xie Changyuan held the lamp and smiled: "As I forgive you, they are just a group of mediocre common people, so what if you want him to kill hundreds or thousands of people?"

  Pei You stared at him, her lips pursed slightly.

   "I'm happy today, what are you talking about spoiling the fun?" Xie Chang Yuan raised his wine cup, "Come, drink!"

  Pei You rolled his eyes and did not raise his glass.

  Xie Chang Yuan didn't mind either, he sipped happily, drank three glasses of wine, and asked again: "This is the end, how are you doing now?"

  Pei Youdan said: "What to do, what to do."

  Xie Changyuan laughed loudly: "Whatever is better, that's what! As expected of me thanking my family! Do you have evidence in your hand? Don't you think that a surviving dead man can hold the old man's lifeblood?"

  Pei You's expression was blank, and he didn't answer.

   "If the old man threatens the life of Wen's daughter and asks you to give up pursuing this matter, what should you do?"

  Pei You's eyelashes trembled, and he lowered his eyes, covering the dark light surging in his eyes.

  Xie Chang Yuan laughed again: "Look, it's not how important those people's lives are, but whether the chips on the other side are enough."

   "Your Excellency didn't mean that, why say such a thing to fool me." Pei You twitched his lips.

   "Oh?" Xie Changyuan raised his gray eyebrows, "Then excuse me, what is the old man's intention?"

  Pei You looked at Xie Chang Yuan with indifferent eyes.

   After a long while, finally put away the alienated look on his face, raised his hand to pick up the jug, and poured him a glass of wine.

"Thank you, my lord." His voice was also much gentler, "Shu's nature is cold, there is no need for adults to bother, and there will be no father-son relationship. You can just tell me what you want to do with Shu. Ah Ning is too delicate to be served. , I won’t stay in the Xie Mansion to bother you.”

  Xie Chang Yuan let out a sneer: "What if the old man says that she has already died in Jiuquan at this time?"

  Pei You's eyes, which had been calm all the time, suddenly flushed with a layer of blush, and he stood up abruptly, bursting out with sharp coldness from the inside out.

  Xie Chang Yuan didn't care at all, he just stroked his gray beard: "Such a reaction, forgive me, you don't look like a cold person."

  He looked up at Pei You: "You have lied to this old man for a long time, and you must let this old man get back some face?"

"sit."

  Pei You stared at Xie Chang Yuan, his eyes showing sharpness.

  Xie Chang Yuan was still calm and relaxed, as flat as the surface of a lake, but also as deep as a secluded pool, unable to see what he was thinking.

   After a while, Pei You's breathing calmed down again, and he forcibly released the five fingers that were clenched again, and sat back.

Xie Changyuan put some food into his bowl with gentle eyes, still smiling: "Forgive me for tracking down Li Wen, and setting up Wutong Lane, she was calm and patient, but when it came to this Wen's daughter, she even waited for a meal no?"

   "Yes, I can't wait." Pei You didn't shy away from showing concern for Wen Ning.

   He can't wait for more than one meal, or a cup of tea.

  Pei You looked at Xie Chang Yuan coldly: "If Master Xie was on the battlefield in the northern border, he would not even be able to wait."

  Xie Chang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, a strange color appeared in his eyes, and then he laughed loudly: "You want to provoke the old man?"

   "Excuse me, no one has taught you that haste makes waste, and rapid progress only leads to death?"

  He raised his eyes, with the same pair of black eyes.

  Pei You looked at him without hesitation.

   Not saying a word.

  A ray of sunlight breaks through the clouds, and the sky is full of light, making this pavilion brighter.

  Xie Changyuan's brows and eyes softened, and he asked with a smile: "I heard from many soldiers of the Xie family army that you know martial arts and can also use guns? Didn't Nan Ci go to you back then?"

   "Let's talk about it." He no longer looked at Pei You, but looked at the lake that was as quiet as stagnant water, "You want to know the whereabouts of Wen's daughter, old man, and you want to know everything about Nanci."

   One lunch, from noon to evening.

  No servant dared to disturb him halfway, Xie Chang Yuan drank one cup after another.

   How wonderful.

  His Nanci actually did so many things that he didn't know about.

  His son and daughter, it turns out that they all know about his ambitions, and they would rather hide this grandson than let him know anything about it.

   The culprit of all this, could it be him?

   No, his biggest mistake was that his surname was Xie, not Chu!

   Evening is sinking.

  A breeze blew up on the ice-covered lake, the small red clay stove finally burned out the charcoal fire, and all the wine on the table ran out.

  Xie Chang Yuan didn't appear drunk at all, and drank the last glass of wine on his back: "Go, play with guns!"

Xie's half-family military general, there is naturally a martial arts training field in the mansion. Although it has been idle for many years, the servants dare not neglect it. There is no snow or dead leaves in the field. The knives, swords, and guns are all placed according to their original appearance. Neatly.

  Xie Chang Yuan picked up a spear and threw it into Pei You's hands: "Come on, show me the trick."

  Pei You had blue veins on his forehead, and his knuckles holding the spear turned white, but he didn't refuse.

  In the martial arts training ground that has been cold and silent for many years, the sound of breaking through the sky resounded after a long time.

  Pei You suppressed the coldness of the afternoon, and vented all his anger on the spear.

   One person dancing with a gun, it looks like a multiplayer battle, full of evil spirits.

  Xie Chang Yuan stared at the figure in the field without blinking, tears gradually welled up in Cang Qu's eyes.

  After a lapse of fifteen years, goodbye to Boyhood, goodbye to Xie Jiaqiang.

   Enough is enough.

  The gun went into the gun rack, Xie Chang Yuan looked up to the sky and smiled, tears streaming down the gully at the corner of his eyes.

  He turned his back, and there was no abnormality in his voice: "Yu'er, you know, according to the old man's temperament, if your Wen's A Ning fell into my hands, it would already be a skeleton."

   "It's just that you dare not bet."

   "You also know that there is no secret that can be hidden in this capital. Now, besides the old man, who else is watching you."

  Xie Changyuan turned his back to Pei You, his back seemed to be a little older: "You don't want to call me grandfather, and you probably don't want to call that dog emperor father. But Yuer, you have entered the game."

   "When you are in the game, whether to advance or retreat is up to you."

   "Wen's A Ning is not in the hands of my grandfather, my people were stopped by your hidden guards, but the oriole with ulterior motives took advantage of it."

   "Go ahead, go and think about it, how can you really protect what you want to protect."

   Xie Chang Yuan put his hands behind his hands, and walked away slowly without looking back at Pei You.

  Young people's affairs, let the young people worry about it.

  He, he has to go his own way.
