Chapter 8 Propose

"Is that right?" Huanying raised his eyes, covered it with his hands, and looked up at the blue sky. "It turns out that the sun in the north is so hot that I just sat for a while and it was hot all over."

Zhuo Ruitong smiled and sat on the chair moved by Xiaoci. "I don't know if you want to breathe today. I forgot to remind you that the terrain in the north is high and the sky is low, so it will be hot in the sun for a while, and it is very easy to tan. However, due to the high terrain, the wind is great all year round, so It will feel cold in the shade, especially in the morning and evening and noon. The temperature difference is very large. There is a saying that wearing cotton robes in the morning and evening and eating watermelons around the stove is a portrayal of Wei County.

"Puffing", Huanying was laughed. "In the past, I only thought it was exaggerated by the world. I didn't expect to be there before I was there. Only then did I know that there were all the world. King Wei, the experience over the years must be far more distant and extensive than in the capital at the beginning, right?"

Zhuo Ruitong smiled and nodded, "Perhaps if you stay for a long time, you can realize that this seemingly bitter and desolate area can actually bring a lot of things to people, but the prosperity of the capital is also full of luxury and decay. Here, the galloping is a rivalry between man and heaven and earth. Courage, tenacity and temperament are also indispensable. To be honest, I have forgotten the appearance of the capital, and even doubt whether I was born in Weijun.

"I can see some Huanxuan in the past few days of reunion with King Wei." Huanxuan stopped and waited for Xiaoci to give the newly made tea to Zhuo Ruitong before saying, "Xiao Ci, you go down first. I want to talk to your master alone for a while."

Xiaoci looked at King Wei hesitantly. Zhuo Ruitong waved his hand, "Go outside the courtyard and wait. No matter who it is, don't disturb us!"

Xiaoci bowed and retreated, went out of the courtyard by himself, and pulled the court door tightly. In the huge courtyard, there was only Huanxuan and Zhuo Ruitong's four eyes facing each other. Even if there were thousands of words, he was also suppressed in his stomach because of his own thoughts.

For a moment, Huanxuan decided to continue with the topic just now. "Although King Wei was a little darker than when he was in the capital, his physique and temperament were not the same. Huanxuan looked at it in his eyes. He really admired the King of Wei. In terms of the foresight of King Wei alone, I'm afraid that none of the three brothers and brothers of Wei can match. "

Zhuo Ruitong squinted his eyes in the dazzling sunshine, "Huanxuan, how do you explain this?"

Huanying was not slow, and he picked up the tea cup and moistened his tongue. "Compared with Wujun and the capital, there is no doubt that the land is indeed cold and desolate, but since the founding of the country, our dynasty has been frequently disturbed by the northern barbarians. When Emperor Suwu was alive, he once resisted the enemy outside the Youliang Pass five times, once went deep into the barbaric hinterland and attacked the barbarian royal court. Although he failed to capture the cunning King of Beirong, he forced the remnants of Beirong to the desert and did not dare to commit the south for several years. However, it does not mean that he did not want to. For a fierce hungry wolf, how can he ignore the fat meat at his mouth? Therefore, Wei County, which is located in the throat of Beirong's invasion of Middle-earth, is much more important than any county or state.

Zhuo Ruitong took a deep breath and nod his head with admiration, "Go on."

"The Empress Dowager Li only wants to use the hardships of Weijun to embarrass you your mother and son, but she doesn't know that the prince is a prince, but he is a commoner. Naturally, there is no corruption in the noble room in his character, so the prince just borrowed such a place to sharpen his edge, and because the sky is far away from the emperor, he was able to show his whole body. Negative and heroic, am I right, Ruitong?" He looked at the King of Wei happily, capturing every change of the expression of the King of Wei.

"After listening to it for a long time, there is a king on the left and a king on the right. It's so rare. You also call me Ruitong. I don't know if you will continue to call me like this in the future. Is it abrupt?" Zhuo Ruitong didn't seem to care about Huanxuan's words, and listened to a title into his heart.

A trace of panic passed by. Huanling quickly calmed down and smiled, "I have known King Wei since childhood, and my words are more casual. Don't blame King Wei. King Wei is now the lord of a country. In front of outsiders, Huanling doesn't dare to make it. However, if King Wei likes it, in private, in the name of you and I were young, and I will abide by Huanxuan's wishes. Wang Ming!"

Zhuo Ruitong sighed deeply, and his eyes were gentle and lingering. He was very satisfied that Huanxuan could agree so. At least in private, her "Ruitong" would make him forget the real distance between the two.

Huanying saw that Zhuo Ruitong was silent, so he continued, "Now that the King of Wu has raised his army, the world's voices of anti-Li's relatives are high. Of course, there are many excuses for those who coveted power on the side of the Qing Dynasty. Although I am in the deep palace, with my understanding of Yuan Can, his qualifications and ability are not enough to control the overall situation, and the war is consumed. If you go down, I'm afraid Yuan Can will lose his country sooner or later. I don't mean anything else. Ruitong, you are a brother and a brother on the other. No matter which side of them, they will definitely want to contact you because of the importance of Wei County. At the same time, they are also guarding you. To put it bluntly, in troubled times, it is impossible for Wei Wang to get out of the world.

"What on earth are you trying to say?" Zhuo Ruitong frowned slightly, looked down at the tea cups on several cases, and the fragrance appeared, and his expression seemed to be a little trance.

"The king of Wei has saved my life, and it has been difficult for Huanxuan to return to his family since then. If the king of Wei does not dislike it, Huanxuan is willing to drive for the king of Wei and help the king of Wei to show his grand plan. However, Huanxuan has three conditions, and I hope to get the promise of the king of Wei."

"You said..."

"One, Huanxuan also knows that although she has come back from the dead, I have abandoned my shoes for the royal family. To be clear, the only reason why the encubine on the list of concubines has long been written off and endured the humiliation and live with dirt is to feel that her parents have no children. Huanxuan has no one to support her death, so Huanxuan pleads for the news of the king of Wei. I can often learn about my parents' situation in Beijing.

"This..." Zhuo Ruitong's face ** a few times, "Huanling, since you understand your own situation, I think you are not suitable to contact Tai Shigong at this time. Because of the turmoil and chaos of the situation, the Empress Dowager Li and the Li's party are banishers of the anti-rigents in the capital. Although Taishi Gong has been idle at home for a long time, he has his nature. Loyalty, and a lot of offending Li's party. In addition, losing you to mediate in front of the emperor, the situation is worrying. If I am told the truth by Li's eyeliner all over the capital, I'm afraid..."

"I understand it!" It was expected that Zhuo Ruitong's face was difficult, otherwise she would not have put forward it as an exchange condition. However, she misunderstood Zhuo Ruitong's dilemma that the other party wanted to protect himself, and her understanding was biased, so she stressed, "Huanxuan did not want to contact his parents immediately. Wei Wang can rest assured that Huanxuan just felt that Wei Xiaoci must be more than Xiaoci's eyeliner in the capital, so as long as Wei Wang tells people to inquire about my parents' situation at a convenient time, and let me know whether they are safe and sound. Does Wei Wang also feel embarrassed?

Zhuo Ruitong was stunned for a long time, rolled his throat, swallowed a mouthful of bitter water with difficulty, and finally said vaguely, "As long as there is news? Don't you want to exchange letters with Taishi?

"Of course, I hope to communicate with my father, but as you said, at present, I know that I am still alive. There is no other benefit except to cause trouble for my father. As long as my parents are safe and sound, Huanxuan is willing to endure missing and wait for the right time!"

Zhuo Ruitong nodded heavily, "Well, I'll take it. Let's talk about the second condition."

"Concubine Ying is dead. I hide the secret in the Weiwang Mansion. The Weiwang probably doesn't want to reveal it. At this point, I have the same position as the Weiwang, so from now on, I will go in and out with the Weiwang. Please allow me to mask my face with Zhusha, Mrs. Huying."

"Mrs. Shadow? What a strange name", Zhuo Ruitong looked up and down at Huanling, and a sense of strangeness suddenly hit his heart.

"When a person dies, his body and mind are destroyed. If he can still survive, of course, it's just a shadow!" Huanxuan smiled bitterly, "I hope that one day I can get out of the shadow of Concubine Xuan."

Zhuo Ruitong fell silent again. Xu Jiufang said, "Whatever you like, what is the third condition?"

"If that day comes, and I finally don't have to live in the shadow of Concubine Xuan, please allow me to leave!"

"Oh!" This time it was Zhuo Ruitong's turn to smile bitterly in a sigh, "I don't know why, when I heard you say shadow just now, I had a hunch that you would mention leaving, as expected!"

"But I think at that time, the world must be safe. If the king of Wei becomes famous, even if he stays in the house, he can't help the prince. It's better to find a quiet place with his parents, so that they can enjoy a little daughter's service for the rest of the year. I hope the king of Wei will be more considerate!"

Huanling caught a glimpse of loss in Zhuo Ruitong's eyes, but she would rather say ugly words in the front than be in an awkward dilemma with Zhuo Ruitong in the future.

Zhuo Ruitong thought for a moment, "Huanxuan, I promise you that there is no problem with all the conditions, but I don't want you to do anything for me to save you. Ruitong is not talented. Even if he doesn't have much ability, he won't coerce a weak woman with so-called grace!"

"Wei Wang misunderstood!" Huanying hurriedly explained, "It is Huanying's voluntary way to repay the life-saving kindness of King Wei. In addition, you and I grew up together since I should know that Huanying is not a weak woman who lives in the boudoir. In terms of talent and martial arts, although Huanying is not as ashamed of King Wei, it is not useless. However, anyone who can share the problems for King Wei, Huanying is willing to do his best. !"

"Oh, Ruitong just lost his words. The young lady of the eldest grandson Taishi Ling's family is comparable to ordinary vulgar fans. Since she was a child, she has not only learned to learn from the rich five cars, but also knows astronomy and geography, military tactics and politics, and likes men's clothing and is good at riding and shooting. She can be described as a strange woman with both literature and martial arts. Every time Ruitong thinks of the past, I admire you so much that you don't have to be humble!"

When Huanxuan heard the words, his ears suddenly turned red, "Weiwang's praise, there is no Huanxuan..."

Zhuo Ruitong smiled and said, "Huanying, do you still remember that in the winter of the eighth year, when you were eleven years old, you and Yuancan and I had to go hunting in Jiecan Mountain, more than 40 miles away from the capital. My God, in such a snowy winter, what are you hunting? It's nothing more than looking for some adventurous and exciting ways to play to solve the bitterness of reading every day. If the three of us neither hired a car nor brought a servant, the three of us went up the mountain so rashly.

"No, it's all your fault that you and Yuan Can, Mr. Qi and I are always talking about something behind their backs, which made me curious. I caught Yuan Can and asked what happened. After learning that you wanted to make an idea to go to Zhecang Mountain, you deliberately provoked me, saying that there was a ghost on the mountain and would catch me to eat. Or stay at home honestly and wait for you to hunt it. At that time, I thought that if you really hunt the ghost and return, why don't you be proud in front of me and show off endlessly, how can I make you wish? I have to go with you to see it.

"Haha, Huanling!" Zhuo Ruitong laughed and said, "I didn't mean to provoke you. Jiecangshan has always had rumors about ghosts and catching children to eat. I'm really worried about you!"
