Jingrong’s friends and enemies (3)
(3)
Guo Jing knelt for a whole day. When he moved around, he felt that his whole body was stiff. His joints were wet and cold, and when the cold wind blew, they felt like a pile of cow hair. The needle penetrated into the bone seam, and there was an involuntary "hiss" sound.
"What's wrong, Brother Jing?"
"What's wrong, A Jing?"
Huang Rong and Hua Zheng spoke at the same time, both of them were a little surprised. Hua Zheng realized that she had lost her composure and kept silent.
Guo Jing was stunned, then he came back to his senses and said: "It's okay, my legs are just numb after kneeling for a long time."
Huang Rong bent down and looked at his knees, which were wet with the soil. He complained: "Brother Jing, don't you know how to ask someone to bring a mat?"
Guo Jing smiled naively: "I didn't think about it. But it's okay. It's just a circle. "It's gone." After saying this, his limbs were completely numb, but within a moment, his body was able to move freely.
Huang Rong's vision went dark when she stood up.
She only drank a little soup from yesterday morning to tonight, and her body has been sweating. Although I was wrapped tightly when I went out, my hands and feet were cold after staying outside for a while. As soon as they squatted together, they felt that their bodies were too heavy to hold on. They grabbed Guo Jing's sleeves and leaned on his legs to relax.
Guo Jing was startled and hurriedly supported her: "Rong'er, are you dizzy? I'll take you back to your room." He asked his servants to take Hua Zheng to the wing, and then he picked up Huang Rong and took her there. Go back to the room.
Hua Zheng silently watched the couple's actions from the side, with sour eyes and a tight heart.
It turned out that A Jing was so caring and considerate to Miss Huang. Although they grew up together, Guo Jing had never been so considerate and gentle to her. She thought he was dull and didn't know how to take care of women, but it turned out that it was just because she was not the person in his heart.
It turns out that husband and wife can be so intimate, respect and love each other, which is completely different from the fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters-in-law I have seen.
She didn’t know if Huang Rong did this on purpose to show her off. She felt like a kitten was scratching her heart, disturbing the calmness that had existed for so many years. A trace of uncontrollable jealousy quietly took root, and she risked bud. He pressed the tears that were about to flow out of his eyes with a handkerchief and followed the servant.
Huang Rong was dizzy for a moment, but she recovered and was fine. But Guo Jing was so attached to her in front of Hua Zheng, which greatly satisfied the woman's vanity. She felt sweet and joyful in her heart, so she let him go.
Back in the room, Guo Jing put her on the bed and asked with concern: "Rong'er, are you feeling better?"
Huang Rong was a little shy and said with a smile: "I was. It’s nothing. I’m probably hungry. If you’re like this, Brother Jing, I’m afraid Hua Zheng will laugh at me.” Guo Jing gave her a bowl of soup that was simmering in the room, and said after thinking for a moment. Son, why did you say Hua Zheng came here?"
Huang Rong took a sip of the soup and was stunned when she heard this. Then she looked at him and said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Jing can still meet his confidante. Thinking of this?"
Guo Jing blushed slightly, "Rong'er, don't make fun of me. I treat her like a girl. Besides, my mother has never been a confidante. After all... I don't blame her, but I can't do it without any grudges."
Huang Rong regretted her mistake, stopped joking, and said seriously: "I'm afraid the person who came here is not doing so well. I have taken my mother-in-law's coffin and sent it back to the south. Without Kublai Khan's instructions, it might not have been possible. All I wanted to do was worry about you, brother Jing, helping to defend Xiangyang against the Mongols."
Guo Jing frowned. "Did Kublai Khan ask her to persuade her to surrender?" Huang Rong thought for a while, but shook her head: "I'm afraid not. How could Hua Zheng not know who you are? You were almost assassinated in Qingzhou back then. Her father and brother will never surrender to Kaicheng just because of her few words. I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid he just wants to rely on his past friendship. , the kindness of raising my mother-in-law, the friendship of sending my mother-in-law back to her hometown, I advise you not to help each other." Huang Rong said with a slightly mocking look on her face, "I'm afraid that in their eyes, Brother Jing, you are still half Mongolian.
"
Guo Jing walked slowly around the room a few times and asked again: "Then how should I treat her." She sent my mother back and it was hard to speak harshly.
Huang Rong suddenly became stubborn and tilted her head to look at him: "Then what does Brother Jing want to do to her?" I can see clearly that she, Yunying, is unmarried and still a girl. She is still obsessed with you, Brother Jing. "
Guo Jing's face turned even redder: "Rong'er, don't mess around. You know I never meant that to her. "
"But she does! Huang Rong said with a smile: "Now that she has given you such a big favor, what will you do if she doesn't say a word about asking you to give up the fight against Mongolia, but only asks you to stay with her for a few days?" "
Guo Jing was stunned and speechless.
Huang Rong had teased him enough, walked to him, held his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to think about this anymore. When the soldiers come, they will block the water and use the earth to cover it up. On the contrary, I am worried about Xiang'er. He looked at Guo Jing sincerely and said, "Brother Jing, I'm really anxious about waiting. Can you let me go out and look for them?" "
Guo Jing firmly refused: "You haven't recovered yet, so what if you go out and are in danger? I believe it won't be harmful to Xiang'er, so I can just wait patiently for two more days. "
Seeing his expression, Huang Rong knew there was no hope. Thinking of the scene she saw in her dream, she couldn't help but feel tormented in her heart.
Then she heard Guo Jing say: "Nothing happened in Xiangyang City these days. , since Kublai Khan asked Hua Zheng to come, presumably the Mongols will not cause trouble in the near future. I want to find a cemetery for my mother first and lay her to rest. If there is a chance in the future, I will send him back to Niujia Village, Lin'an. Alas, as a human son, I am extremely unfilial, and my tired mother cannot live in peace under the Nine Springs.
Huang Rong comforted him and said: "My mother-in-law taught you how to be a man. I hope that you will be like your father-in-law and never forget your chivalrous heart. Now everyone calls you a hero. I don't know how happy I am under Jiuquan." , why is it unfilial? "
"Rong'er..." Guo Jing knew that Huang Rong had always been considerate of his thoughts, and he was moved. He patted her hand and said, "It's getting late. I'll ask the nanny to bring Polu for you to see. It's early." Take some wash and rest. "
Huang Rong smiled and nodded.
Hua Zheng tossed and turned in the wing.
Huang Rong was not feeling well, so she left the matter alone. They ate and washed in silence in the room. She had a special status, and Guo Jing didn't know who to ask to keep her company.
In the past, she was used to being lonely, no matter hunting horses or reading scriptures. Writing, playing with girls, and playing the games I learned from Nan Chao can pass the whole night.
But tonight is different.
Everything is quiet. This is the Song Dynasty, Xiangyang. No one knows that she is a princess.
She is just an insignificant friend of the owner of the house.
The fireworks in the world have nothing to do with her. .
The man she longed for was accompanying his wife and children, enjoying human relations.
But she was like a straggler, trapped in the desert, with no one around. .
She suddenly regretted agreeing to Kublai Khan's visit to Xiangyang. What was she doing to let herself know how miserable she had been in these years? Moved by past feelings, he rushed here just to hurt his heart again and again.
The next day, Guo Jing got up early and found the mountain people in the suburbs to lure him there. Looking at Shanlin Cemetery on the mountain.
Hua Zheng got up bored in the morning and walked to the front hall. He saw Guo Jing about to go out. Thinking that this place would be Huang Rong's territory after he left, he felt uncomfortable and blurted out: "I." We want to go together! "
Guo Jing didn't notice her coming in. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Hua Zheng...sister, I'm afraid something is wrong. "Guo Jing thought of Huang Rong's words last night and couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. He really let her say it. How should I shirk it now?
"Since I have sent my aunt back, I naturally want to see her buried properly. Retire after success. "Huazheng knew that he was speaking forcefully, but as long as he didn't stay in this house, he could go anywhere.
Guo Jing was speechless.
Thinking of her purpose here again, if staying with her for a few days can make her stop talking about persuading her to surrender, then this favor can be considered repaid. After all, he had a brother-sister relationship in his heart, and he owed her something. As a last resort, I really didn't want to speak harshly, so I nodded in agreement.
Huang Rong knew that Guo Jing was leaving the city early this morning. After thinking about it, she still couldn’t leave Hua Zheng alone, so she sent someone to invite him. Unexpectedly, the servant came back and said that the female guest had followed Guo Daxia out of the city early in the morning.
Huang Rong's heart skipped a beat.
She was not worried that Guo Jing would have any alien intentions, but she was worried that he would miss the friendship between his old friends and fall into the woman's trap. She is a woman, so she naturally knows all about women's little thoughts.
Today, it is Brother Jing and Hua Zheng who are husband and wife. It is hard to say what she will do when they meet again.
Naturally, I am also unhappy.
He knew that he was in love with her, but he still let her stay with him?
With a "pop" sound, Huang Rong slapped the comb on the dressing table.
She could tell Guo Jing that she didn't care, but now she only cares about her own heart, so she still has to pretend?
Force yourself not to think about how they are together, there are more important things to do. What did Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu do to Xiang'er? !
Hua Zheng and Guo Jing left Xiangyang and headed south along Tanxi River. Xiangyang is a basin with many hills and hills around it. Guo Jing wanted to choose a geomantic treasure land surrounded by mountains and rivers to bury his mother. Although he was recovering from his serious injury, after all, he was a martial artist, so climbing mountains and wading in rivers was not a big deal. However, Hua Zheng has been enjoying herself for many years and is no longer the girl who ran wildly with her brothers all over the mountains and plains. After walking for a long time, she can't keep up.
Guo Jing did not rush her. He walked around and then stopped to wait for her.
Hua Zheng was a little aggrieved, and after enduring it for a long time, she finally couldn't help shouting: "A Jing!"
Guo Jing stopped and looked at her: "Huh?"
Then he realized: "If you can't walk anymore, just rest here. It's not far from the mountain. I'll take a look up and come back."
Hua Zheng couldn't help but language.
Guo Jing waited for a moment and saw that she was silent, so he thought she wanted to rest on the spot, so he went off on his own.
Hua Zheng looked at his back, her expression changed several times, but she still followed him.
The mountains were full of thorns and overgrown weeds. In just half a day, the corners of my skirt had been cut several times. She was not used to wearing the clothes of Song women, and she only felt inconvenient everywhere. Now she looked at the torn clothes and socks, and she felt even more annoyed.
Unexpectedly, a long thorn stick protruded from the diagonal thorn, and with a "stab" sound, it tore off the torn skirt corner, tore the underwear inside, and scratched the knee. Blood.
Hua Zheng finally couldn't help crying.
When Guo Jing heard the noise, he turned back to look for her. Seeing this scene, he felt a little embarrassed and troubled for a moment. There are differences between men and women, and Hua Zheng is unmarried. Although Mongolian women don't care much about this, he must abide by etiquette and education.
"A Jing..." Hua Zheng cried out.
Guo Jing turned away and went to the forest to find some herbs to stop bleeding. He crushed them with stones and placed them gently on her knees.
"Sister Huazheng, please use the torn off skirt to bandage it." But he didn't even look at her injury.
Hua Zheng was ashamed and annoyed, so she wrapped the wound herself and stood up slowly.
"Sister Huazheng, wait here. I'll go to the nearby mountains to keep an eye on you and I'll be back soon." After saying that, he left without waiting for her to say anything.
Hua Zheng felt bitter and refused to listen to his words, and followed him step by step.
Guo Jing heard the footsteps and sighed secretly.
Finally at noon, he finally decided on a place and paid the money. Guo Jing was very happy and turned to look for Hua Zheng, only to find that she was missing.
Guo Jing called Hua Zheng several times, but when there was no response, he suddenly became anxious. Huazheng's identity is sensitive, so she must not let anything happen to her in Xiangyang!
He looked back along the way he came from. After searching back and forth several times, he saw a Hua Zheng shoe beside a small ravine.
He secretly screamed, and looked down along the direction of the shoes, and sure enough he saw Hua Zheng rolling down. Guo Jing hurriedly ran down.
Hua Zheng had fainted, her skirt and cloak were torn by branches and thorns, and her torn underwear exposed her entire delicate white calf. Guo Jing took off his outer cloak and wrapped her up. He was really hesitant about how to take her back.
She was alone now, without a car or a horse, and she was unconscious. Even if she was conscious, looking at her swollen ankles, she knew she would not be able to walk. Naturally, they couldn't stay alone in the mountains for a night, but whether they were carried or carried, they couldn't wash themselves away even if they jumped into Tanxi River.
Guo Jing gave a wry smile, that's all, he just wanted to be beaten and scolded by Ronger. He bent down and tied her torn trousers tightly, and wrapped her tightly with the outer cloak. Then he put the Hua Zheng on his back and walked slowly down the mountain.
Arriving at the edge of Tanxi River at the foot of the mountain, Hua Zheng had already woken up. The rising and falling warmth beneath her body, and the strange and clean manly scent, made her stunned for a moment. He raised his eyes and looked ahead, only to realize that it was on Guo Jing's back.
She was surprised and happy, so she continued to pretend to be ignorant and lay silently on her back where she had been thinking about it all her life. Generous, warm, and down-to-earth like the stretching Tianshan Mountains. Secretly praying that he would walk slower, slower, so that her dream could continue for a while longer.
Guo Jing left someone behind and walked for almost an hour. His chest felt very tight and his body felt a little weak. If you just want to get back to the city quickly, you can find a sedan or carriage to take Hua Zheng back to your house, quietly, and maybe the matter will be settled.
Unfortunately, God's will always goes against people's wishes. As soon as they arrived at the city, they saw Huang Rong, who was holding a dog-beating stick and looking anxious, coming towards her.
