Chapter Six Capricious
Ma Mingshao said: "Juhao Pavilion failed to attack. Mingchengjun was unwilling to fail. On the way, he found out that the old man had left. He would definitely want to make a comeback while the mansion was empty and it would be better to go back and hand in a big victory. However, the team he led had already suffered heavy losses and it was impossible to mobilize people in a short period of time. Therefore, the chance of only the remaining troops returning is high. Our rudders have no combat power and cannot stop him from moving forward and making a big move. After he succeeded, he was afraid that the Qin family's branches would come to rescue him, and there would be few people to fight against them, so it is reasonable to withdraw quickly."
Qin Juexiang smiled and said, "Brother Ma is too concerned about Mingchengjun and Juhao Pavilion too much. This time he brought the two emperors of Fengyun and the third of the remaining seven heroes. He has already used the top elite. Judging from the actual situation on the battlefield, they fought very firmly and left no room for room. The goal is obviously to take down the rudder in one go. Mingchengjun is a meticulous person. Before launching a surprise attack, he must set up a backup along Shanxi. After he succeeded, he issued an order to follow up and defeat our branches one by one. How could there be any reason to easily withdraw after the matter was done."
As soon as this statement was made, Chen Shengyi, Yu Zhide, Zhang Chengju and others who participated in the battle at the rudder all felt the same when they heard this, and they thought intently. Everyone looked at me, looked at you, looked at each other, since they went to Datong, things were together one by one, and the old man, the old man, Qi Beishan and others passed away one after another. Sadness and tremor were always lingering in their hearts, and they had no time to think too much. Now, when they carefully consider this, there is indeed some strange thing.
Mo Ruzhi said: "Young Master is right, Mingchengjun is quite arrogant. He is afraid that others will not be able to catch his eye with the people in our mansion except for the old master. With the situation at that time, Taiyuan is already without a leader. As long as he is at the helm for a few days, and when the support is fully entered, the general situation has been decided. To put it bluntly, even if the old master leads his troops back, the chance of turning the tables will not be too great."
The candle shadows in the spirit shed were shaking, the wind shaking the flags, everyone was silent, and their expressions were depressed. Although Mo Ruzhi's words were difficult to accept in terms of emotions, they were indeed reasonable.
Chang Sihao said: "Maybe he withdrew because there is something wrong with Juhao Pavilion headquarters, which is difficult for outsiders to know and it is difficult to speculate. It's just that Mingchengjun...ah."
Qin Juexiang asked: "Brother, what did you think of?"
Chang Sihao's expression was somewhat disappointed and confused: "You know that day when I and Mingcheng Jun Shen Lu were fighting each other. At that time, I felt that his way of action was transparent and generous, and extremely majestic. From the sword, we can tell that his character is good. Later, what he said when he negotiated with the old man seemed to be from the heart, out of sincerity, and generally speaking, he did not look like a repetitive villain."
Ma Mingshao laughed: "Sister-in-law Sun, even if there is a flat land like a mirror in this world, which boat would not have more flags and sails? Maybe when a black cloud floats, it will form a storm. Maybe the attic boat in front of him will hang up the pirate flag to rob. Mingchengjun has been doing business with his father since he was a child. It is said that he has made many things behind the scenes. The Shen family has accumulated such a great wealth in the short term. How can it be obtained by diligently working hard? As the saying goes, there is no businessman, and people are short of what they lack. He claims to be Mingcheng, but it is just to cover up his cunning and fickle side. If he is a true gentleman, why wouldn't he declare war with the Qin family in the past and instead launch a sneak attack?"
Chang Sihao shook his head and said, "I heard that soldiers are always deceiving and winning first. His goal is to take down the Qin Mansion. Naturally, he has to fight unexpectedly. It is normal to use tricks. However, it is against common sense for the two families to break the contract and fight back after the peace talks."
Chen Shengyi said, "After you say this, I feel a little strange. The green forest of the rivers and lakes is a place with rules and laws. Even if you are a bandit, you usually only rob money and avoid killing people. Even if you want to kill, you will only kill strong men with resistance. Mingcheng is famous all over the world and throws three pieces on the ground. He is a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes. How could he not even let go of the weak women? This time he killed all the maids in the mansion who knows martial arts. It would be too much of a loss of identity."
Qin Juexiang frowned and said sideways: "It's natural that he killed someone to silence him after doing something wrong. What's so strange?"
Chen Shengyi said: "Even if this is not the case, everything is obvious. Why do you need to lose your reputation? If you kill someone for silence, why do you leave the eldest lady behind?"
Qin Jue rushed upwards and shouted: "Is it possible that my elder sister was killed together, so that you can feel good?"
Chen Shengyi was stunned by the drinking and said, "I have no intention of this, I mean..."
Qin Juexiang waved his hand and said sternly: "No need to say it! Are those dead people fake? Is the uncle lying in this coffin fake? What's the use of more words? Only by combining it with strength to make his blood debt and blood repayment! No matter how high Mingchengjun's martial arts are and how powerful Juhao Pavilion is, my surname is not afraid of him!"
Chen Shengyi understood how he could not hear the meaning of his words. His muscles jumped a few times, suppressing his anger: "Since he followed the old master, Chen has fought hundreds of battles, no matter how strong his opponent is, he has never retreated in the face of battle, and he does not know why he is afraid!"
Qin Juexiang looked at each other side and said, "Okay, when the decisive battle with Juhao Pavilion tomorrow, I will set up a drum and hold a hammer to see your courage!"
"Young Master, please calm down!" Everyone had been listening to the wrong words. Seeing that it was about to intensify, they hurriedly persuaded them. Qin Juexiang laughed again: "What are you worried about? Please do better to provoke them. I am having fun with Uncle Chen!"
These people have been living in the world for many years, and no one is not a clear-headed person? Looking at the expression just now, I know that they are really angry. But with his temper, it is difficult to get the words back. They each covered up with a smile. Qin Juexiang didn't say anything anymore, and ordered Ma Mingshao to take care of the matter here, and took A Xiang and Chang Sihao straight to the backyard.
After entering the Water Yun Garden, I saw the rockery in the garden reshaped, the chrysanthemums planted in new plants, the bamboo carts transported water, and the sound of waterfalls flowed. Everything was renovated as before, but the colors were dim under the reflection of the plain lamps, making it look a little desolate.
A maid on the second floor of Rongdong Pavilion was holding a tray, frowned slightly, and she was slowly walking down the stairs thinking about it. When she heard the movement in the garden, she turned her head and saw Chang Sihao at first glance, and shouted happily: "Sister-in-law Sun!" Before she noticed the tray in her hand trembled, the objects on it were crooked, and she was about to fall. She hurriedly leaned over and tried to stabilize, but she didn't expect that her feet slipped and fell down.
Chang Sihao rose up like an arrow and arrived in an instant. He put his right arm around the tray, stretched out his left hand, gently supported and pushed her shoulder, and the two of them fell on the ladder at the same time, standing steadily.
A Xiang held her chest in the distance, gently exhaled half of the screams stuffed inside, took a long breath and said, "Oh, Ayao, you're scared me to death. This staircase is more than meter high. Is it a joke to fall down?"
Qin Juexiang walked up slowly and saw a bowl of steamed meat soup on the tray in Chang Sihao's hand. The soup was full and not a drop was sprinkled. It was covered with an oil film. The dishes of vegetarian vegetables next to it were not dispersed, and they didn't look like chopsticks, and their brows were slightly frowned.
Ayao was afraid of Qin Juexiang, bowed to him, and said, "The eldest lady is much better than Chu Shi, but she is still in a daze and can't eat. The maids have no choice..."
Qin Juexiang didn't look at her, and went straight upstairs. He picked up the thin curtain and came into the room, which scared the maids standing quietly in the outer room, and stood there at a loss. Chuntao saw it inside and hurriedly stepped out: "Young Master, you are back!" The voice was very low.
The other maids were all newly arrived in the mansion and did not recognize who the master was. When they heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
Chang Sihao looked inward through the bead curtain. Qin Ziyin wrapped her white silk in her body with blue gauze, her long hair was disguised, and she lay motionless on the desk of the red sandalwood book. Qin Juexiang was always arrogant in front of outsiders, but he never dared to be rude in front of his sister. He stepped forward and bowed to greet him: "Sister, I'm back."
Qin Ziyin seemed to have not heard it, and was motionless. The room was extremely quiet. Chuntao leaned closer and said, "Young master, she is afraid she can't recognize you anymore."
Qin Juexiang said in surprise: "How do you say this?"
Chuntao lowered her head sadly, slowly walked over and lifted the bead curtain: "You can walk gently, come and take a look."
Qin Juexiang was confused, and turned his head to exchange gazes with Chang Sihao, straightened his head and lifted his clothes and walked in quickly. Qin Ziyin's cheeks were pressed against the table, and his face was light. He was playing with his mouth as if he was blowing his hair hanging down on his cheeks, his eyes were empty, and he smiled a little infatuatedly. Qin Juexiang turned the desk, shook his hand in front of her eyes a few times, and called softly: "Sister, sister?" but there was no reaction.
Chuntao showed her eyes and led a few people to retreat to the outside world and said, "The young lady has been like this these days. This formation is pretty good. If the night is late, she will probably have to quarrel and lose her temper." Qin Juexiang said dumbly: "How could this happen?" Chuntao sighed slightly: "She was afraid that she was hit too much and had lost her mind. She has hired many famous doctors from all directions, but they are helpless. Some say that the liver is depressed and turns into fire, yin and yang are inconsistent, while others say that the qi is stagnant and blood stasis, which disturbs the spirit. In the end, no one's prescription will work. The more you take it, the more you are, the more you have to stop."
Qin Juexiang's face showed a sad and sarcastic expression mixed with: "When it comes to medical treatment, who can compare with the elder sister in Taiyuan City? Patients that Mr. Fang, who cannot be cured by Caotoutang, should recommend them to come and invite her to treat them. Hey! Now she is sick herself, so there is no curse." He saw Chang Sihao's expression was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at the inner room in a daze, waved his hand and said, "Brother, let's go." Chang Sihao hesitated a little: "What should she do?" Qin Juexiang rolled his eyes: "I care what she should do!" Turning his head to A Yao: "You——, put down the tray, she is willing to eat food, but if she doesn't eat, she will eat naturally when she is hungry!" A Yao did not dare to say anything, so he lowered his head and did as he did. Qin Juexiang shook his sleeves and turned his head out to go downstairs.
Chang Sihao then chased after him and frowned and said, "Juexiang, how could you do this?"
Qin Juexiang's footsteps were still anxious: "What can I do? Do you think she has become like this? Now the Qin family is suffering from great trouble, turmoil and people's minds change. There are strong rivals like Juhao Pavilion far away, and there are Sanshanhui, Tieqi League and other young people watching each other nearby. When such a crisis is about to break out, how can I have time to work hard with her, a useless person?"
"Idle grinding?"
