Chapter 222 The pain of the lord's obsession
The war at Hangu Pass touched many hearts. The State Government sent a frontier general to support him, replacing the seriously injured Zuo Shuchang, among which the General Dai'an temporarily served as the commander-in-chief of the main battle.
A day later, the head of Peinan also rushed back to Xianyang City. His state and image as soon as he arrived in the city was very different from Mr. Xiang Bo. He was struggling to travel desperately, and he slept in the open and thrilling pursuit along the way. When he entered the city, he couldn't help but look haggard.
The head of Peinan has always paid attention to personal etiquette. After returning to the mansion to Zhulan, he did not reserve time for himself to rest. He rushed to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to find Prime Minister Xun Huo to discuss important matters, but the people in the mansion told the Right Prime Minister that he had never returned to the mansion. He had been staying overnight at the Grand Tutor's Mansion for the past two days as a guest.
Pei Nanshan Chang was a little surprised and silent when he learned the news.
He thought of the unclear relationship between Xiang Bo Xun Huo and Chen Rui, and also thought of the rebels and enemy attacks in the royal city of Xianyang. Chen Rui's personal deeds spread like a deified and the entire Qin State, and he had heard of it.
Indeed, the ultimate achievement means the risk he once took. How could Baili Peinan not know about this? Therefore, the prime minister Xun Huo first returned to the city and went to visit the Taifu. It was not surprising. He just didn't expect that he had a mansion and family and did not return home. He completely ignored the rumors that might arise from outside and the government and the people, and even stayed in the Taifu's mansion.
This is a bit unlike the Xiangbo Xun he knew. He has never easily given people a handle, nor does he put his likes and dislikes in a clear way. Therefore, no one can truly understand what he is thinking.
Is he doing this true feelings or is he pretending to be mysterious?
He thought about it and rushed to the Taifu Mansion. Even though he rationally asked him to avoid the rare person, he still couldn't control himself and found an excuse to go.
Chen Baiqi heard the doorman report that the left prime minister came. She didn't know when he would return to Xianyang. During this period, she was worried that he, a literati, had been injured when he encountered a brutal ambush and assassination. After all, she was the teacher who respected him very much. When she heard that he came to the door, she wanted to see if he was safe.
As for the possible sequelae of their meeting, she thought she would grasp the right distance and not make him feel hurt.
The leader of Peinan Mountain was led by the gatekeeper to Chaodongwan, and happened to see her walking under the purple flower, vine and bamboo stand.
She passed the spots of light and shadow, and purple flowers filled her sleeves where she touched her. The chilly breeze of early spring could not dissipate the coldness of the fog. She looked up and saw him, and her black eyes clearly reflected in his figure.
Baili Peinan looked at her and slowly stopped. The pain in his body began to spread again. His lips turned white, and his body, which was becoming increasingly clear under the green elegant robe, showed a melancholy and cold temperament like green bamboo.
Seeing that he was seeing the changes at that moment, Chen Baiqi stopped, but he didn't dare to take another step forward.
She knew that he was in pain again.
He would not have reacted much at the same distance before.
But now, it seems that the distance is gradually changing.
Is it true that in no time, even if they look at him from a distance like this, it will make him feel very painful?
Many thoughts flashed through her mind for a moment. In the end, she just pulled up the corner of her mouth and barely showed a gentle smile of hospitality: "Zuo Xiang has worked hard this time. I'm hurried to go today. I wonder if Zuo Xiang... But is there something important to come to Chen Rui?"
The conversation between such a long distance seemed a bit strange and puzzled to others, but when he stopped, she stopped here and no longer got closer.
Seeing the Grand Tutor coming, the concierge was afraid of disturbing the two adults' speeches, so he bowed and stepped down first.
Chen Baiqi knew that if there was nothing important, the mountain leader would not usually come to the Taifu's mansion to look for her alone.
The long mountain of Peinan was pouring on her, her eyes were as quiet as a lake, and the faint and soft morning light fell on his face, dyed with some unstimulating restlessness and illusion.
Seeing that he was silent, Chen Baiqi felt a little confused about what he wanted to do this trip.
But soon, he made a move, but what he wanted to do made Chen Baiqi stunned.
I saw that he knew it was a pain to get close to her, but he did not retreat, but instead advanced, and was walking in her direction.
He took a few steps forward, and then Chen Baiqi reacted and subconsciously took a step back, as if he was a beast.
But as soon as she retreated, her face froze.
She felt that she might have done something that was more obvious.
"Why do you want to retreat?" Baili Peinan kept walking, his eyes fixed on her face and asked quietly.
Chen Baiqi didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Are you afraid of your true nature?" he asked again.
She glanced at him in a gloomy and confusion.
She was not afraid of him.
But does it hurt?
No, he should be in pain. The more he leans over her, the more he will feel.
If this burning pain is divided into ten levels, it means that if you get closer to her, you will feel more pain.
It was like stepping on the burning charcoal fire barefoot, and every step was extremely painful. She resisted the urge to retreat and asked him in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"
Baili Peinan's eyes were like vast river surface, and some incomprehensible scenes were rippling with smoke. A fine piece of sweat emerged from his forehead. His fists were clenched tightly because of the pain. Although he tried his best to control his voice, he still had a trembling tail sound: "Do you... know something?"
Chen Baiqi stared at him without saying a word.
"You face the enemy's troops and fight with one person's bloody body, especially without fear, without fear, without retreat..." He was almost at the distance in front of her: "But why did you retreat when you face me?"
“…Don’t come over again.”
Chen Baiqi turned his eyes with a complicated expression.
But Pei Nan Shanchang stubbornly insisted on bringing the distance between them closer. He seemed to want to prove something, and seemed to force her to reveal something in this way.
He finally crossed the inaccessible distance and grabbed her arm. Chen Baiqi had no special feeling, but as soon as he touched her body, his hand seemed to be directly stretched into the stove to roast. There was nothing on the surface, but the violent pain of the skin and flesh blooming made him unable to stop breathing.
He lowered his head, bowed slightly from the trembling, but gritted his teeth and breathed: "You know, yes, right?"
"Tell me..." His voice could hardly maintain his normal speech: "Tell me, tell me, what's going on?"
Chen Baiqi looked at his head and couldn't see what his expression was at the moment, but he must have felt uncomfortable. He twitched his lips a few times, but he didn't know how to explain the whole story to him.
What should she say?
If she admits that she is "Chen Huanxian" and cannot expose the system, whether he believes it or not, it is mainly because he is in pain now, can he persevere until he finishes explaining everything?
"Master, please let me go first..."
He couldn't listen at this time, but he just obsessed with reluctance to let go, and his fingers tightly clutched her clothes.
Seeing that he was in a state of vagueness, she was anxious and broke away from his hand. He lost the support and almost slipped, but she didn't dare to help him rashly.
What she had to do was not stand here, but to leave him quickly and he would feel better if he was farther away.
"Next time, stop doing such a stupid thing." She left a sigh, turned around and disappeared in front of him.
As soon as she left, the swelling pain of Pei Nan Shanchang's body faded in an instant. He covered his almost suffocating chest and gasped for a long time. He raised his eyes and looked at the empty wisteria flower pathway corridor.
"You don't want to say that you want to hide something from me? Chen Rui..."
No one answered his question.
——
Chen Baiqi was embarrassed and stopped coming forward. Instead, he asked someone to invite Mr. Xiang Bo out. She guessed that if the mountain chief had not come to find her, then most of them would have come to find the right prime minister.
When Mr. Xiang Bo came to Dongwan Hall, Baili Pei Nan had recovered as usual. He could not see the pain of burning skin and flesh that had happened not long ago. In addition to his unhealthy expression, Mr. Xiang Bo only thought that he was busy running around.
Baili Peinan did have important matters to discuss with Prime Minister Xunhuo. Because he was not depressed and could not relieve himself, he did not respond to the other words and said directly: "Right Prime Minister, the Northern Rong and barbarians united more than 100 grassland tribes, and they will fight back against Qin in the near future. This is the news brought back by the Mo family rangers, and it is true."
Some tribes of the Beirong and Qin State invasion had long been included in the map section of the Qin State. Although they had sent troops to garrison, they had few troops. If they chose to rebel at this time, it would be equivalent to the Qin State being attacked from both sides.
The situation is very serious now. Baili Peinan did not publicize the matter as soon as possible, but instead discussed it secretly with the right prime minister, just to come up with a countermeasure with him. Recently, the Qin State has been in chaos, and things have happened one after another. If people are in a state of turmoil, if they put heavy pressure on them, I am afraid that everyone will be in panic all day long.
Xiangbo Xun Huo knew that Baili Peinan had a deep friendship with the Mo family, so this news would not be targeted.
Although he had not received any information about this, he had already practiced some possible things in his mind. He looked at the vast sky outside the door, but his heart was filled with dark clouds: "The left prime minister, there were the Wei army and the Zhou Dynasty soldiers who wanted to seize Hangu Pass in front, and the Northern Rong barbarians rebelled behind. Next to it was Chu and Zhao peeking. This difficulty in Qin State is far more difficult than expected at the beginning."
How could Baili Peinan not know? But people cannot just focus on difficulties and fall into terror and panic. He has experienced many disparity in battles and dangers, but he can still stabilize his mind. He said: "This time, fortunately, the Grand Tutor rescued the danger of Xianyang City. Otherwise, the thousand-mile dike would be destroyed in the ant hole, and even if we return to Xianyang, it would be useless."
"The Zuo Prime Minister's persuasion made people feel relieved." Xiang Bo Xun Huo sighed and turned his head to say to him.
When he handed over official business, he also heard the restoration of the real incident in his ears. After this incident, Baili Peinan was impartial and commented pertinently: "The Taifu has great talent, not only capable of martial arts, but also planning, which is rare."
Seeing him mention Chen Rui, Xiang Bo Xun Huo pondered and asked with a smile: "What does Zuo Xiang mean?"
