Chapter 1210 1211 [There will be times when the wind and waves break] (7)

Southern Zhou Dynasty, Jian'an suburb, Bihu Villa.

The spring rain is sufficient, dyeing the stream with fresh green.

The sound of rain was crisp, and there were dots of stars on the lake, followed by ripples in circles.

The girl was wearing a long turquoise dress, sitting by the railing and staring at the dreamlike rain curtain. Her face was still as beautiful as ever, but her eyes had lost their former brilliance and were slightly dim.

There are four sturdy servants in the pavilion, with their heads lowered and their eyebrows lowered, guarding behind the girl. Since a few months ago, they have been inseparable from the girl, and they will stay outside the girl's bedroom even at night.

This lakeside manor with beautiful mountains and clear waters is just a cage to the girl.

But she didn't cry or fight, and she still maintained a calm mood. She just sat in the pavilion for a long time every day, looking at the vast blue lake dreamily, and never talked to these servants.

The rain is getting heavier, the spring breeze is blowing again, and the coolness is coming quietly.

A maid said cautiously: "Miss, would you like to go back to your room and rest?"

Xu Churong remained motionless and silent.

The servants and women looked at each other with worries in their eyes.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from behind, and everyone turned to look, only to see an old man walking towards him surrounded by several guards.

Everyone hurriedly saluted and said: "Bless me, sir."

Xu Huiyan said calmly: "Just step back."

"Yes, sir."

Everyone exited the pavilion one by one, and the only sound between heaven and earth was the lingering sound of rain.

Xu Churong stood up and saluted expressionlessly: "My daughter has met her father."

Xu Huiyan looked at her dull eyes, his heart ached slightly, but his face remained calm as he said: "Two months ago, Emperor Xuanwu of Wu State led a personal expedition, and an army of 400,000 cavalry and infantry crossed the Gaoyang Plain, and the troops were divided into three groups.

Attack the border of Beiliang. Ji Guliang, the left army of Beiliang, is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, with more than 200,000 frontier troops under his command. The two countries are now winning or losing each other, and the fierce battle is in full swing."

Xu Churong's expression did not change at all.

Xu Huiyan didn't take it seriously and continued: "Xiao Jin, the right military aircraft of Beiliang, is now on the north bank of Tiancang River, commanding the border troops to defend our country. In other words, the person who is really in charge of the military power in Kyoto of Beiliang is Pei Yue, the Emperor of Beiliang.

He did not suspect Pei Yue, nor did he weaken the authority in his hands. Instead, he trusted this person more and more."

Xu Churong's eyes moved slightly.

Xu Huiyan walked to the stone table and sat down, poured himself half a bowl of tea, and said leisurely: "According to my detailed report, Xiao Jin did not gather heavy troops in the upper reaches of the Tiancang River. Instead, he built two strongholds in Qinian.

The troops of the main camp were transferred to the north of Puqi City."

Xu Churong finally spoke, his voice slightly hoarse: "What do you mean by daddy?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Xu Huiyan frowned slightly and his tone gradually turned solemn: "Pei Yue doesn't believe you at all. Otherwise, with his current position in the Northern Liang court and the young emperor's trust in him, how could he not interfere with his deployment of the Southern Army?

?If Pei Yue believes you, he is thousands of miles away and lacks timely intelligence, so he will naturally let Xiao Jin place the main force of the Southern Army in the upper reaches of the Tiancang River."

Xu Churong looked at his father with complicated eyes. After a long time, he walked to sit across from him and said indifferently: "It turns out that dad came to Bihu Villa for the first time since last time to find his daughter to punish her."

Xu Huiyan shook his head and said: "My father just wants you to wake up. Chu Rong, in the Battle of Jiangling the year before last, my father was indeed sorry for you, but you should understand that the descendants of the Xu family in Qinghe should bear more responsibilities."

Xu Churong lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows and said, "My daughter understands, so even though these things happened, she didn't have too much hatred in her heart. It's just that her daughter feels tired and doesn't want to be involved in major affairs of the country anymore."

She smiled self-deprecatingly, with a heavy look of weariness on her unworldly face, and said softly: "Pei Yue is right, I am not suitable for these conspiracies and calculations at all."

Xu Huiyan felt a little blocked in his heart and sighed: "That's all. My father came here today just to see you and tell you the news just now. From now on, my father will never let anyone look at you like before.

, but I also hope you can recognize the facts."

Xu Churong looked at him puzzled.

Xu Huiyan was silent for a moment and said: "You are seventeen years old this year."

Xu Churong's heart suddenly tightened.

Xu Huiyan continued: "The eldest son of Duke Zhenguo is a good match."

Fang Yuntian?

Of course Xu Churong has met this Fang family son. To be fair, Fang Yuntian is considered to be one of the top young talents in the Southern Zhou Dynasty in recent years. His background, talent, appearance and temperament are all very good. Xu Huiyan's words about a good match are not unreasonable. Specific to this marriage.

, the marriage between the Xu family in Qinghe and the Fangjiang family in Pingjiang was a match made in heaven, and it did twice the result with half the effort to stabilize the internal situation of the entire Zhou Dynasty.

Especially under the premise that the military is intensively pursuing a war, Qinghe Xu's statement has a more far-reaching impact.

However, Xu Churong still felt it was ridiculous. She didn't understand why her father proposed this marriage. Did he think that he really didn't have any resentment in his heart? But thinking about it carefully, her thoughts were insignificant. Putting aside the identity of the Xu family in Qinghe, how could she

What to do? What's more, her father has just pointed out that Pei Yue doesn't trust her at all.

On the one hand, there is the inseparable blood relationship, and on the other hand, there is the misty meaning far away. At least in Xu Huiyan's view, it is not difficult to guess how his daughter will choose.

With thousands of thoughts in his mind, Xu Churong asked softly: "Daddy has promised to the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Xu Huiyan looked at her obviously thin figure recently, shook his head and said: "If you don't want to, my father will reject the Lord."

Xu Churong asked again: "The Military Aircraft Department is planning a war in the north. At this time, the Duke of Zhen Guo still has time to take care of his son's marriage?"

"This battle is divided into three steps. The first ones to take action are the Ningguo Camp and the Wufeng Navy. The Marquis of Jubei will personally preside over it. On the side of the Duke of Zhen Guo——" Xu Huiyan suddenly stopped talking and said to Xu Churong sincerely: "At the beginning,

capacity, father

I just hope that I can find a good husband for you. Pei Yue is by no means a good match. Even if he puts aside the differences between his family and country, he now has two wives. It is said that their relationship is extremely harmonious. Are you going to betray the Xu family and the country?

Is he a concubine?"

Xu Churong remained silent.

Xu Huiyan continued to persuade: "If it weren't for a talented person like Fang Yuntian, my father would certainly not consider this marriage. After all, the Xu family owes you first. Even if you don't want to get married in this life, my father can guarantee you a safe and happy life.

.As a father, he does not deny that marriage with the Fang family is related to whether the Xu family in Qinghe can continue to establish a foothold on this land, and is also related to the life and death of the entire Zhou Dynasty."

He paused and said solemnly: "As a father, I will not force you to make a choice."

After a while.

"My daughter is willing."

Xu Churong said calmly.

There was no joy on Xu Huiyan's face, naturally because this answer was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Xu Churong added: "But my daughter has two conditions."

Xu Huiyan felt relieved, nodded and said, "Say."

Xu Churong said calmly: "First, the father wants to evacuate these people around the daughter and let back the maids and servants who took care of the daughter. Of course, the daughter understands that the father has concerns, so the daughter does not mind if the father lets people take care of the daughter.

This Bihu Villa is surrounded by so many people that not even a bird can fly out."

Xu Huiyan muttered: "Okay."

"Second, my daughter has one last letter to give to Pei Yue. This letter will be reviewed by dad first, and then he will be asked to send someone to Chengjing City in Beiliang for Mr. Xi to deliver it to Pei Yue."

Xu Huiyan said slowly: "Why?"

Xu Churong sighed softly, turned to look at the rain curtain blowing in the wind, and said for a long time: "Since we won't see each other again for the rest of our lives, my daughter just wants to say goodbye to the past."

Xu Huiyan thought carefully. Although this matter was not appropriate, compared with the significance of marrying the Pingjiang Fang family, it was within the scope that he could accept. What's more, Xu Churong was completely isolated from the outside world during this period, even if she really

He still had some hidden thoughts and was unable to provide useful information to the north.

"good."

"Thank you daddy."

Xu Huiyan gave her last gentle words of comfort, then got up and left in the rain.

Xu Churong stood there and watched quietly.

…

Two days later, the fifth day of March.

Xu Churong was having breakfast in the side hall, and beside her were no longer the maids who looked after prisoners, but the personal maids who had followed her since childhood.

The hall was very quiet. A maid walked slowly outside, looked around, then turned back and winked at her companions in the room.

The companion whispered to Xu Churong: "Miss, the man said that he came from the north. He was unable to get close to the Bihu Villa and was very worried about the safety of the lady."

Xu Churong drank the porridge leisurely, then took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and said calmly: "Do you have an agreed upon contact information?"

"Yes, miss." The eldest maid responded nervously.

Xu Churong said: "Tell him to prepare to do something for me."

She spoke softly, and a bright color that had not been seen for a long time appeared in her eyes.
