Chapter 141 Secret passage
Lu Yan slowly put away the sword in his hand, gave Qin Huaisu a meaningful look, and led them away amidst Xiangniang’s confession.
And Shen Dong was sent to the dungeon mercilessly. When he left, he still looked at Jiang Changning with good eyes.
Chunying’s face turned pale in a hurry, she wanted to speak out to intercede for Shen Dong, but Du Yunwei grabbed her arm tightly.
“If you want to die, don’t take me with you.” Du Yunwei smiled. Unexpectedly, the lover of this ugly girl turned out to be a major general.
Fuyu walked in front of Qin Huaisu, his eyes flickered, and finally he sighed softly: “You follow me.”
The old man was so frightened that he was paralyzed and was taken down by the people of Fengyun Temple. Gu Xiujing wanted to take Jiang Changning away, but before he could say anything, Jiang Changning refused: “It’s not suitable to stay here for a long time, it’s getting late, my son, please go back. “
“Why?” Gu Xiujing looked at Jiang Changning puzzled, but heard the other party slowly say: “Gu Shizi wants to take me away, if I go with the prince, where can the prince put me? Now my reputation is gone. Destruction, the son of a scholarly family, a good thing is coming. Every move, every word and deed is in the eyes of others, how long can you protect me?”
“It’s not worth giving me some money to send me away. In this troubled world, it’s better to stay in the nunnery. At least it’s safe.”
Jiang Changning’s words left Gu Xiujing speechless. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Jiang Changning.
Qin Huaisu handed the dagger that was knocked down by Lu Yan to Jiang Changning’s hands again in a grand manner, and regardless of the expressions of everyone, he scratched the tip of Jiang Changning’s nose and said in a warm voice, “Wait for me to come back.”
Du Yunwei saw this scene, and gave a strange smile: “What’s the matter today, I just came here by myself, and I brought Brother Qing with me anyway.”
Xiangniang watched Qin Huaisu go away with Fuyu, feeling uneasy, and heard Du Yunwei sarcasm and gouged her coldly. She was as cold as ice, and it was the first time she was rude to this cash cow: “Go back to your room!” go!”
There were a few soft sneers from around, Du Yunwei wanted to fight back, but the person behind Xiangniang flexed his wrist expressionlessly.
Finally, she still kept her mouth shut unwillingly.
Qin Huaisu followed Fu Yu deeper and deeper, he never thought that there would be another cave in the ground of Fengyue Nunnery.
There are secret passages repaired at some point in time.
The dark passage is extremely dark, narrow and damp.
Fu Yu walked in front silently. Although Qin Huaisu didn’t understand the purpose of the other party asking him to come here, he didn’t feel Fu Yu’s malice, and even since he entered the nunnery, he has been taking care of him a lot, both openly and secretly. , so the footsteps that fell behind took a bit of leisure.
The sound of the two people’s tapping and tapping footsteps was very clear in this dark and quiet secret passage. It was not until they walked half a stick of incense fast and went down the steps that a wide secret room appeared in front of them.
“Here we are.” Fu Yu opened his voice, took out a torch and lit the two oil lamps next to the secret room.
The flame hangs on the lamp candle, glowing faintly, looking weak in the airtight secret room, Fu Yu dripped two more drops of lamp oil on it, the candle flame suddenly rose, and tiny sparks exploded, reflecting the whole room bright.
Only then did Qin Huaisu see that the stone chamber was square in shape, about five meters in length and width, with more than a dozen large wooden boxes stacked on the left side. Colorful jewelry, here is the accumulation of Fengyuean’s wealth from dealing with the rich and powerful for many years.
On the right side, there are rows of weapons and treasures, swords, bows, crossbows, armor, shields and spears. The weapons seen in the barracks are neatly stacked here, and the sharp blades are shining with the cold light of the Hittites under the candlelight.
In this scene, Fu Yu’s plot is clearly revealed.
But Qin Huaisu didn’t care about that at the moment, his eyes were deprived of all attention by the portrait of a woman hanging on the wall in the center.
The woman in the painting is standing under the plum tree, pinching a flower branch and sniffing lightly, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, with a gentle and virtuous smile on her face. She had her hair in a high bun, a plum blossom on her temples, and a blue dress with a stand-up collar, embellished with light blue orchids, and her whole body seemed to exude the fragrance of orchids in the valley.
The face of this woman is actually very similar to his biological mother, but it is more lively and lively. Compared with the gentle but melancholy figure in his memory, she is happier.
Fu Yu also followed his gaze to look at the painting, with a nostalgic and sad expression on his face, obviously asking a question but speaking with certainty, “You are Chu Yao’s child, right?”
Qin Huaisu didn’t answer, but Fu Yu’s willingness to bring him here already confirmed his identity.
“I know you are not some new buddy from Wei Daxun, you are the Banquet King Qin Huaisu. I have seen you from afar, and your eyes are very similar to your mother’s. Recognize it.”
“Who are you? Why do you have this painting?” Qin Huaisu’s face was serious. The matter of his mother has always been a pain in his heart, and he has never mentioned it to others. The man’s voice was intimate, and he even called out his mother’s former name, a name his mother had only mentioned to him when he was a child.
“Me?” Fu Yu chuckled in a trance, he had many identities, but at this moment he only wanted to have that one.
“I am a person who has been favored by your mother. If I am more shameless, I may be regarded as my childhood sweetheart with her.”
Fu Yu said slowly, the memory brought him back to the time when he was the most troubled but also the happiest.
“When I was young, my family was poor, my parents died early, I was so hungry that I became thin and skinny, and I was beaten and scolded a lot in order to grab food from groups of beggars on the street. Later, I was lucky enough to meet your mother, She is kind-hearted, not only did she not dislike me when I was down and out on the street, but she also saved my own food and secretly helped me every day, if it wasn’t for her, I would have starved to death long ago.”
“Then one day, I met a noble man on the street. He saw me escaped from the siege of beggars, and said that I was pretty good and wanted to take me back to practice martial arts. There might be great luck in the future. I always thought Waiting for me to achieve something and go back to repay your mother, but I didn’t expect that shortly after I left, Xueniang’s family suffered a disaster, and she was forced to sell into Su’s mansion to make a living, and she was even assigned to Su Yiwan as a personal maid.”
Fu Yu’s tone gradually became serious as he spoke, “But then Su Yiwan has such an easy-going temperament, Chu Yao must have suffered a lot by her side!”
“It was too late by the time I had finished my studies. I went all the way to the Su Mansion to find her according to the information I had heard, only to hear that she had written off all the past and changed her name to Xue Niang and followed Su Yiwan into the palace. , when I found her, she was already dead, leaving only one child.”
Qin Huaisu’s throat was astringent. He had never thought about his mother’s past before entering the palace. Maybe it was because he was young at that time, and his mother never mentioned it to him.
A gentle and virtuous person like my mother shouldn’t end up like this.
