Chapter 228: The Past Follows the Wind
In a state of confusion, Yang Ning felt one of his hands being held. Immediately, a burst of cold and powerful energy spread throughout his body. Then he felt his mind clear and the dizziness disappeared.
"Brother Ning, are you feeling better?" Xiao Lezi asked quietly from the side. His voice became even weaker.
Yang Ning did not answer. At this time, his heart ached. All he could think of was the figure of that beautiful, stubborn woman. Every detail of his time with Liu Biyao emerged.
The scene of the first meeting. The struggle in the secret room of Liu's study. The fragile and stubborn figure on the cliff halfway outside Ningxia City. The gentle lingering in the military tent. The sudden conflict on the way home... But at this moment, I can no longer I can no longer see the woman who, although I only got along with him for a month, is deeply imprinted in my heart and will be with me for the rest of my life.
Now that I think about it, I really regret it. If I had not quarreled with her at that time, if I had found out that she was leaving, I would have sworn to find her back and not let her be a weak woman wandering outside for so long. Then... she would have Won't die.
Thinking of what she had promised Liu Dongshang but now failed to protect his daughter, Yang Ning was filled with regret and annoyance. She couldn't help but feel deeply guilty.
…
"What exactly happened? Tell me." Yang Ning finally regained her composure and said calmly to Xiao Lezi.
"According to what you told me at the time, I first went to Ningxia City. I searched inside and outside the city for several days. Finally, I found a nunnery named 'Wuxiang'an' on Fenghuang Mountain in the southeast outside Ningxia City. Baguio The girl has already become a monk somewhere. Her Buddhist name is "Lie Chen". I told her that I came to take her back to the capital on your order. But she just shook her head. She just didn't agree. I can't force her. So I decided to go back the next day... That's it. I went there for five or six days in a row. The Baguio girl finally relaxed her attitude. The head of the nunnery also persuaded her. In the end, she agreed. But she said there was still one day. She had to finish her homework, so she made an appointment for me to pick her up the next day..."
At this point, a look of remorse flashed across Xiao Lezi's face: "Who knew that when I went back the next day, the 'Wuxian Nunnery' had been burned to the ground by a fire, and all the nuns' corpses were left behind by me. Found in the deserted mountains and valleys, everyone was raped and died horribly. However, there was no Baguio girl among them..."
Yang Ning couldn't help clenching her fists and asked coldly: "What happened next?"
"Later, I found clues and knew that there was a group of people driving a carriage heading north. So, I chased north until I reached the Hetao grassland outside Qingfengkou, and then I caught up with this group. Later, there was a fierce fight between me and this group of people. Unexpectedly, several of this group of people were very skilled, especially one of the tall leaders. In the end, all the others were killed by me. The leader and I were both injured. The man escaped. But Miss Baguio was hit by an arrow in the heart, which hurt her heart. In the end, she couldn't survive...Brother Ning, it was all because of my incompetence and failure to protect her. I'm sorry for you..." Xiao Lezi said with a painful expression.
Yang Ning shook his head and said: "No. I don't blame you for this. Looking at the injuries you suffered, I know you have tried your best. It's just that the other party is too strong. Do you know who they are."
Although Xiao Lezi spoke in an understatement, Yang Ning naturally knew how dangerous it was. With Xiao Lezi's skill, he was injured like this. It can be seen how tragic the fighting situation was at that time.
"Although those people wore Han attire, their body shape and appearance were the same as Mongolian people. Moreover, when I caught up with these people, I secretly heard them mention that their leader's name was Litu..."
Focus on the rabbit.
Bye.
When Yang Ning heard the name of Zhuli Rabbit, he immediately thought of the fish that slipped through the net when Ningxia suppressed the rebellion... Kuaibai.
That's right. This matter must be related to this old man. He probably wanted to avenge his son. He somehow knew Liu Biyao's identity, so he asked Litu to send someone to arrest Liu Biyao. After Ningxia suppressed the rebellion, for this person who paid tribute He slipped through the net. He has always been a little worried. He did not pursue the victory and destroyed the rabbit. Now it has finally led to terrible consequences. Yang Ning couldn't help but think of deep regret again.
"Lezi. I know what happened. I don't blame you for this. It's just that I didn't follow the duty of eradicating evil and let an old bastard go, which led to today's disaster. I, Yang Ning, swear here that I will destroy the Loop in the future. Mongolia. Revenge for Baguio."
…
Early the next morning, when Han Shanlin and others saw the living little joy, they couldn't help but be surprised and happy. Especially Shui Ling, who couldn't help crying with joy.
Yang Ning introduced Xiao Lezi to everyone one by one, and asked Shui Ling to arrange a place for Xiao Lezi in the back house. Yang Ning had already asked for Xiao Lezi's opinion last night. Since Yang Ning had a house outside, Xiao Lezi was naturally not willing. Back to the palace. Yang Ning decided to say a word to Princess Yongning when she entered the palace today and asked Xiang Zhong to eliminate Xiao Lezi's eunuch status.
Xiao Lezi did his exercises to heal his injuries. Although his life was temporarily saved, he still needed a long period of recovery. After breakfast, he went back to the back room to practice his exercises alone, while Yang Ning entered the palace.
He went to Princess Yongning first and told her the good news that Xiao Lezi had saved his life. Princess Yongning was naturally very happy. When Yang Ning proposed that Xiao Lezi would not be allowed to enter the palace in the future, she immediately agreed. Xiang Zhong went to the Internal Affairs Bureau to go through the denaturalization procedures for Xiao Lezi.
After coming out of Funing Palace, Yang Ning went to Fengyi Palace again and talked for a while with Concubine Li. By the way, she studied Emperor Longqing's physical condition. Concubine Li couldn't tell the reason. He said that Long Qing's spirit has been particularly good in recent days and his thinking has been very clear. This made Yang Ning become more and more confused. Could it be that Yuyangzi really cured Long Qing's disease?
After returning from the palace, Yang Ning took Wen Ziyan's medicine box that she had already packed and entered Wen's house opposite.
Nowadays, all the housework of Wen's house is taken care of by the maids and servants sent by Yang Ning's house. It is no longer as shabby as before. Since Wen Qianshi was promoted to the editor of the Hanlin Academy, he is no longer as leisurely as before. I got up. I was busy with hospital affairs every day. I was basically not at home during the day. This time Yang Ning came over, and Wen Qianshi was still not there.
After asking a servant and knowing that Wen Ziyan was in the boudoir of the back house, Yang Ning went directly to the back house.
Two maids were sweeping the yard. When they saw Yang Ning coming in, they hurriedly wanted to salute and say hello. Yang Ning waved her hand to stop them and walked straight to Wen Ziyan's room.
The door of Wen Ziyan's room was open. Yang Ning pushed the door open and went in. He saw Wen Ziyan sitting at the desk, flipping through a thick medical book, holding a brush to record something from time to time, with a focused look on her face.
"Ahem." Yang Ning didn't know how to speak, so she coughed twice deliberately.
Wen Ziyan heard the noise and raised her head. When she saw it was Yang Ning, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She stood up and said, "Why are you... here? How is your brother?"
The first thing she said after seeing Wen Ziyan was that she was concerned about Xiao Lezi's safety. Yang Ning was moved and felt even more guilty.
"To be honest, I really want to thank you for your 'Golden Needle Technique'. It's like saving half of Xiao Lezi's life. Well, I'm here to deliver the medicine box to you. And... I want to solemnly apologize to you. Zi Yan "I really shouldn't have treated you like that yesterday. I'm really sorry. I hope you can forgive me." Yang Ning said with a guilty and sincere look.
"You don't have to apologize. I understand how you were feeling at that time. I...I don't blame you." Despite what she said, a look of grievance still flashed across Wen Ziyan's face. She bit her lip tightly. Tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly turned her head away to prevent Yang Ning from seeing her tears.
"Zi Yan. I know you feel wronged. I got angry with you in front of so many people and said this to you. I, I am really a bastard. Tell me what I should do to compensate for the grievances you have suffered. .I will do whatever you say. Even if it means being cut into pieces or running naked around the capital three times, I will never frown." Yang Ning looked determined.
Wen Ziyan burst into tears and smiled: "It's not as serious as you said. But... what is 'streaking'?"
Seeing that Wen Ziyan was not angry, Yang Ning smiled happily and said: "This is a kind of torture that makes people unable to survive or die. Specifically, it means taking off all clothes and running around the capital three times."
Wen Ziyan's pretty face turned red and she spat: "You know what nonsense you are talking about. I'll ignore you." After saying that, she sat down again, lowered her head and continued to read medical books, but her mind was obviously not there. On the book.
Yang Ning came forward and lay down on Wen Ziyan's desk. She leaned her head to look at the medical book in front of Wen Ziyan. She smiled and said: "Why don't you go to the palace today? I just heard the imperial concubine say that you are today I need to send her a prescription for nourishing and nourishing her skin."
A trace of annoyance flashed through Wen Ziyan's eyes. Her voice became cold and she said: "Of course I want to go to the palace for a while. But I don't necessarily have to go to the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine has you to 'accompany' her all day long. What's the point? Get my nourishing and nourishing medicine."
Wen Ziyan's reaction made Yang Ning surprised. Wasn't she already well just now? Why did she suddenly fall out again? What did she say wrong?
"Zi Yan, are you okay? Did I say something wrong? My mother is still teasing you." Yang Ning asked cautiously.
Wen Ziyan looked sour. Then she said coldly: "No one provoked me. I provoked myself. If nothing happens, you can go back. I still have a lot of things to be busy with."
Yang Ning was puzzled. She smacked Wen Ziyan's words carefully. There seemed to be a strange sour smell. Could it be that she was jealous? Was she jealous of herself and Concubine Li? This seemed impossible. Thinking of the last text Zi Yan was also very angry with herself for no reason. Somehow, she always felt that Wen Ziyan was always acting weird recently.
