Chapter 35: Suspicion (3)

The sudden change on New Year's Eve last year finally made Chen Jun get rid of Chen Tingfang and let her come to Luoyang to accompany Chen Huai whom she had been thinking about day and night. She originally naively thought that life would continue like this. She had no extravagance for the future and just wanted to entrust everything to the person she loved the most, so she was satisfied. However, everything that has happened in the past six months has some things contrary to her wishes. In the past, even when she was far apart, she could feel that her heart was closely related to Chen Huai, but now even when she met every day and pillowed together every night, she found that he was getting farther and farther away from him, becoming stranger every day... The most terrifying thing is that she had no choice but to wait for the final misfortune to come, smashing even the thinnest hope to pieces.

Chen Jun held up from the couch and gently wiped away the cold tears from his face. The white moonlight shone through the window paper and gently wiped the clear marks in front of the couch, just like she was lonely tonight. Since the last afternoon talk, Chen Huai has not met for several days. Every night, two Thousand Niu Guards moved into the west wing as guards, making Chen Jun feel like a prisoner. Is he a prisoner trapped by love? Chen Jun was willing to do this, but what made her feel terrible was that she couldn't figure out what the way out of this love was... Alas, I'm afraid she would be sleepless again tonight. She stretched her legs to the bed, trying to open the window for breath, but suddenly found a dark red candlelight burst out under the curtain leading to the main hall in the bedroom.

Chen Jun almost exclaimed. Chen Huai had not returned tonight, and the guard was guarding in the yard. Who would this be?! She pressed her jumping chest, moved quietly to the door, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out - a familiar back on the table, reflected by the dim candlelight. Hearing the movement, the man turned around suddenly, and his ferocious and distorted face scared Chen Jun to take a step back. Is he Chen Huai? Why is the fierce light in these eyes exactly the same as the ugly old man she saw in her dream?!

Chen Jun asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, why are you back?" Chen Huai seemed to be frightened by her, and the thing in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang". Chen Jun grabbed a few steps forward and leaned over to pick it up. Her hand touched Chen Huai's outstretched hand, which was equally cold and trembling. The two stopped at the same time, staring blankly at the purple gold scissors falling on the blue brick floor, as if it was the most terrifying object in the world.

"Brother, how did you find this?" Chen Jun swallowed several mouthfuls before asking a question. Chen Huai answered the question with an unusually dry and shrill voice: "Ajun, this scissors are the weapon to kill the old man!" Chen Jun's face turned pale and he was stunned for a while before asking again: "How did you know?" "How do I know, you don't have to worry about it!" Chen Huai shouted silently: "Anyway, the old man was stabbed to death by these scissors!" Chen Jun lowered his head and asked in a low voice for a while: "Who... is that?"

"Who is it? Who is it?" Chen Huai repeated thoughtfully, and suddenly burst out with a wry smile like crying: "It's really a person who is not good at appearance. A coward who looks like a timid mouse dared to deal with me for so long. And I thought everything was going to behave as planned... He, he was going to make me fall into the quagmire and he was going to kill me too! This despicable villain! Villain! Damn beast!" A series of vicious and angry curses poured out from Chen Huai's mouth, and then he held his head with both hands and moaned in great pain.

Chen Jun was frightened. She had never seen Chen Huai like this before. She was decadent, desperate, desperate, and lost in her soul... Chen Jun felt heartbroken. She opened her arms with tears in her eyes, hugged Chen Huai into her arms, and murmured softly: "Brother, brother, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? No matter what difficult it is, tell me, tell me..."

Chen Huai shook off her hug and just held her head in a daze. Chen Jun looked at him helplessly, anxious and afraid. When he glanced at him, he found that there was still a piece of paper spread out on the table. The paper was wrinkled, and the huge and crooked words on it rushed into Chen Jun's eyes. She was shocked again. She was very familiar with such fonts, which were Chen Tingfang's handwriting!

"Brother, is this my father's pen?" She asked softly, but Chen Huai had no reaction. With a feeling of fear and curiosity, Chen Jun gently took the paper and hurriedly swept the head-up part - it turned out that this was a letter written by Chen Tingfang to Chen Huai! She browsed and found out that the letter had just been written in the middle. Chen Tingfang's handwriting was very sloppy, as if it was written in extreme tension and panic. Even if she was as familiar as she was, it would be difficult to recognize it all at once. It was clear, but the few names in the letter still jumped into her sight in shock: Ajun...Li Yuanfang, Di Jinghui; and... Xie Lan! Chen Jun stared at the last name, a little confused, and finally couldn't help turning to Chen Huai and asked timidly: "Brother, I remember after my father died, Mr. Li mentioned that he seemed to be writing a letter before his death, but he didn't find it. Is it this letter? Where did you get it? And... how does Xie Lan mention it in this letter..."

"Stop!" Chen Huai shouted violently, snatched the letter from Chen Jun's hand, and tore the letter to pieces after a few pulls, and gasped. Chen Jun looked at him dumbfoundedly, unable to say a word. Chen Huai's face had completely deformed, and his ugliness and violence covered his usual handsomeness. He stared at Chen Jun fiercely and said word by word: "Ajun, listen to me. If I hear you say the word Xie Lan again in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"

Chen Jun's eyes were blurred. She felt wronged and confused, and even more unspeakable sorrow hit her heart. Although she had long been accustomed to taking his wishes as her own wishes and kneading his sorrows into his sorrows and joys, Chen Huai obviously did not take her heart at all. If it weren't for the dilemma he was facing too sinister, then it could only be that he had never really cared about her... Xie Lan, Xie Lan, since he said that he could not mention it, Chen Jun had to silently recite this name in his heart. This name she had been instilled with since childhood and wanted to love, she really loved her wholeheartedly all her life - until today, why did he use such a rough way to forbid her to mention it again...

Chen Jun's tears flowed silently, and the person on the other side turned a blind eye, just because he was in a new panic again, and was talking to himself: "He must have doubted me, must be! This old fox is really the most hypocritical and cunning old guy in the world! He even pretended to be a special person in trust in me, trying to eliminate my vigilance and find out my truth..." He raised his head and grabbed Chen Jun: "Ajun, do you know that Di Renjie, Di Renjie! He is so scary, so scary!" Chen Jun choked and shook his head, Chen Huai pushed her away again, and a cruel strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Fortunately Li Yuanfang died, and died too timely! They didn't meet, so... is not right! Will Di Jinghui bring Di Renjie? It shouldn't... I hope not... They don't have time to fight against the Turks, and they don't care about anything else..."

"I'm leaving!" Chen Huai suddenly stopped talking to herself, jumped up from the chair, turned her head and walked out. Chen Jun dizzyly rushed behind him, pulling him and asked, "Brother! It's so late, where are you going?!" "You don't care!" Chen Huai ruthlessly pulled down her hand, walked to the door in two steps, stopped again, turned around and smiled gloomyly at Chen Jun: "Ajun, you didn't hear anything just now, go back to the couch to sleep well. I'll be very busy in the future, and I'm afraid I won't have time to come here. Fortunately, there is a guard to protect you from safety, so I can rest assured. In short, be more steadfast, don't walk with anyone, and don't let that Aunt He happen, so you don't have any trouble!"

The door opened and closed, and the room fell silent again. Chen Jun fell on the chair with weak body, his mind was dizzy, and he really couldn't figure out whether he was still trapped in an endless nightmare and could not wake up.

The weather at the border of the Western Regions is so harsh and impermanent. The hot summer has just come to an end, and the cool autumn is refreshing and refreshing. In a blink of an eye, the autumn wind from the bitter and cold areas in the north has already danced against the ground, rolling yellow sand, causing the white grass to fall. Walking on the streets of Tingzhou in mid-August, the north wind blew, and the huge sand grains made people's face hurt. Looking up at the blue sky, the white clouds were blown away, leaving only a faint and lonely sky, with a dazzling clear sky. Suddenly, loud roars passed by the top of their heads, and the geese began to return south.

In the main hall of the Tingzhou Governor's Office, the new Tingzhou Governor Cui Xing was having a cordial conversation with several Western merchants. Since he arrived in Tingzhou in early August, Cui Xing has been doing his best to fulfill the duties of border administration and military chiefs. He first rectified the Han Navy, which was messed up by Qian Guinan, and remediated the defense of Tingzhou and surrounding areas under the Han Navy, so that the overall public security and defense of Tingzhou would reappear in the internal tightness and looseness of the outside. In terms of internal affairs, Di Renjie took the responsibility of the Longyou War and laid a good foundation, allowing Tingzhou to survive a period of turbulent period after the war. After Cui Xing took office, he worked hard to restore the normal life of the people. Open a portal facing the West and welcome all merchants to return to this beautiful business road with a more enthusiastic attitude. Of course, there is still a long way to go before everything goes well and singing and dancing are prosperous. Cui Xing knew that he was still facing various troubles and hidden dangers, such as the cruel and cold-hearted person, which aroused great public anger and is still in confusing. For example, what these Western Region merchants are talking about, the mysterious forces in the market somehow possessed hundreds of Western Region goods, and the offer price was low, and they snatched away the business of many merchants, which surprised everyone and were very dissatisfied... Cui Xing did not dare to take it lightly, and he had to work hard to deal with it with it with all his strength.

After these Western Regions merchants complained, Cui Xing listened carefully and repeatedly promised to investigate the matter carefully. The merchants felt very satisfied and left a very good impression of the new governor of Tingzhou, the enthusiasm, frankness and loyalty to the duties. Seeing that it was getting late, everyone stood up and said goodbye. Cui Xing watched everyone leave, picked up the teacup and sniffed a little while, and rushed into the door. It was the former commander of the brigade of the Han Navy Shatuo regiment, the current commander of Guoyi, the governor's guard, Gundam!

When Cui Xing saw Gundam's excited face, he jumped up from the chair: "Come?!" "Report to the master!" Gundam clasped his fists in a loud voice: "Yes, I've arrived just now! As you ordered, I've been waiting in the study room!" "That's great, hurry!" Cui Xing was so excited that he stroked his beard and rushed to the study room in two steps.

As the dusk became darker, the swaying candlelight shot out from the open door of the study. Cui Xing rushed to the door, stopped unconsciously, and looked at a long figure in the room from top to bottom. The man heard the movement and greeted the door, smiling and clasped his fists: "Mr. Cui." Cui Xing grabbed the other party's hands, shook them hard, and sighed for a long time: "I can't recognize it, I really can't recognize it!" The other party just smiled, Cui Xing took his hand and walked into the study, and said as he walked: "Li Yuanfang! I still vaguely remember the appearance of your young man back then. How many years have passed?" "It's been about fifteen years." Li Yuanfang answered calmly.

"Fifteen years, fifteen years..." The two of them had already arrived at the bed. Cui Xing muttered and gave in. After sitting down, he looked up and down at Li Yuanfang, and asked cordially: "Yuanfang, you were not eighteen years old when you joined the army in Liangzhou, right?" Li Yuanfang nodded: "Yes, before you knew it, it was already half a lifetime of military service." Cui Xing was also deeply moved and woke up quickly, "Oh, Yuanfang, how are your health? Is the injury okay?" "Mr. Cui saw it, I'm fine."

"Two sirs, please have dinner." Gundam personally held a food plate and set up bowls and chopsticks on the round table in the middle of the study. Cui Xing hurriedly greeted: "Yuanfang, come, let's eat and talk." He asked Gundam to accompany him, and the three of them sat around. Cui Xing raised the wine glass in his hand: "Yuanfang, this victory in Longyou has been a life after Tingzhou. Although the court has not mentioned your achievements at all, everyone knows the most. Today I rely on my seniority and regard myself as my brother. Come, Yuanfang, brother toast you this glass of wine. We will not talk about merits and demerits, but only to you for all your life and die!" He drank the wine with tears in his eyes.
