Chapter 350: Visit
Compared with when they met on the Yuyang battlefield, Tan Feng looked a little thinner. His face, which was originally well-manicured, now has a short beard, which makes his face look much more mature. Jumping away, it seems to be moving away from him.
Standing on the tall building of Ning's house, looking at the raging fire in the distance, Ning Xin sat cross-legged in front of the little table behind her, her bare hands cleared, and a pure heart and tranquilizing mantra could not calm his heart at all.
He knew that this night, he would lose a friend, whether he lived or died.
At this moment, he is standing in front of the wall of the small hall, and seems to be carefully admiring a splash-ink landscape painting hanging on the wall. Although his eyes are fixed on it, where is his mind?
How will Gao Yuan treat himself? He thought about this question repeatedly in his mind, pretending to be happy that nothing happened, or angrily scolded him for plotting behind his back? He shook his head, really couldn't think of it.
Compared to Tan Feng, Shou Xin sat quietly on one side with her hands resting on her knees, like a silent statue, and even the expression on her face never seemed to happen during the waiting moment. Variety.
Footsteps sounded outside, Tan Feng turned his head abruptly, and Ning Xin finally raised her eyebrows lightly and stood up.
Gao Yuan appeared at the entrance of the small hall. After Tie Xuan reported, he did not come immediately, but took a shower first, and changed his sweat-stained clothes before he appeared. They are friends, so naturally they don't need to pay attention to these details, but unfortunately, they are not friends now.
"Brother Gao!" Seeing Gao Yuan appear. A smile burst out on Tan Feng's face, he opened his arms, and took a step forward, as if he wanted to give Gao Yuan a bear hug, but he only took a step. Then he stopped in embarrassment, because Gao Yuan stood one step into the door, with a smile on his face, but his hands were behind his back, and he didn't respond to Tan Feng's enthusiasm in the slightest, he just smiled half-smile look at him.
Tan Feng lowered his arms sadly. Clasped fists with both hands: "General Gao, long time no see!"
"Not long!" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "It's only been four months since I left Jicheng!"
Tan Feng's heart skipped a beat when he mentioned Jicheng, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
"Ning Xin met the general!" Ning Xin, who was on the side, stepped forward in a timely manner, and bowed her skirt. He bowed to Gao Yuan, but it just solved the embarrassment between the two men.
Gao Yuan turned around and bowed in return: "Miss Ning, you came all the way from Jicheng to marry Jing'er. Both Gao Yuan and Jing'er will cherish this friendship in their hearts."
"where,
Jing'er is a good boudoir and close friend. She has been in Jicheng for more than a year, and she is only a friend like me. Naturally, I want to come to such a big event like her marriage. Jing'er is really lucky to be able to marry a hero like you, General Gao. "
Gao Yuan laughed, "Heroes may not necessarily be heroes, but they may bring disasters to relatives. The world is impermanent and unpredictable, but Jing'er and I know each other and love each other. Naturally, disasters will turn into good fortunes, and disasters will bring good luck. Small tricks will never succeed."
Gao Yuan's words were thorny, and Ning Xin's face turned reddish. At the same time, my heart is also a little sick, this Gao Yuan is really a man who is unreasonable and unforgiving.
Looking at Ning Xin whose face changed slightly, Gao Yuan was content. Until then, he took a serious look at Ning Zecheng's only daughter. Ning Zecheng himself has a face like a crown jade, from the appearance, he is definitely a handsome man, although he has never met Ning Xin's mother, but given Ning Zecheng's family background, the wife he married is naturally the best choice, With such good genes, how can Ning Xin's appearance be worse? Just looking at her appearance, she is better than Ye Jing'er. In addition, this girl has always been raised in a wealthy family, and she has the innate Her temperament matched her appearance, making her stand out even more. If Ye Jing'er was an orchid in an empty valley, then Ning Xin was the most delicate peony in Fugui Garden.
"Please sit down, both of you!" Gao Yuan walked up to the front with a smile and sat down, "Tie Xuan, what's the matter, the guests have been here for so long, why haven't they even served tea?"
Dare to feel that these two waited in the small hall for so long, but no one in this mansion paid any attention to them.
"I'm sorry, I'm really neglecting you. These guys, like me, are countrymen and don't know how to be polite." Gao Yuan explained to Tan Ning and the others with a smile.
Tan Feng could only smile wryly, even for country people, the most common etiquette after a visitor is the same everywhere in the world, doing so is not their negligence, but a kind of humiliation, but today, Tan Feng has already He was mentally prepared to be humiliated, but there was no psychological gap, but Gao Yuan's attitude made him a little uncertain.
Tie Xuan strode in with a tray, put down a cup of tea in front of Ning Xin, and when he turned to Tan Feng, he gave him a hard look, and with a bang, put the tea cup on his body. On the table, the tea was splashed out.
"Tie Xuan, don't be unreasonable, get out!" Gao Yuan snorted.
Looking at the back of Tie Xuan leaving, Gao Yuan explained: "General Tan, please forgive me, this man is called Tie Xuan, and he was one of the twenty guards who followed me into Jicheng. When I left Jicheng, I only He and one other person are left with scars, and the other eighteen people are all buried in Jicheng forever. Even the infantryman who escaped by chance is also disabled, he lost his calf."
Gao Yuan held the tea and took a sip, as if he was talking about a very common thing, but to Tan Feng's ears, it sounded like a stormy sea. An elite veteran, one of Gao Yuan's brothers who made a fortune, was almost wiped out in Jicheng. He was even more familiar with the infantry. The leg is almost useless, which is equivalent to cutting off Gao Yuan's arm.
The calmer Gao Yuan is, the stronger the anger in his heart will be.
He stood up, bowed deeply to Gao Yuan, stood up straight, and Tan Feng said: "Gao Yuan, I don't know what to say about this matter, and I don't want to make excuses. What I want to say is that I know the truth about this matter. The time is irreversible. I don't want to excuse myself. At that time, if I wanted to save you, there might be time in time, but I couldn't go, and I couldn't go. In the past few months, every time I think about it, I turn back and forth. It's hard to sleep, but fortunately you survived at last, and I've forgotten all my troubles, so I won't make me regret the rest of my life."
Gao Yuan took a deep look at the other party, "Okay, Tan Feng is still Tan Feng, if you talk nonsense, I will look down on you instead, you are honest, you are still a good guy, although you and I can never be friends again But I will still respect you. I survived, you will not regret the rest of my life, but you know, I will regret the rest of my life, the eighteen brothers who died, I will never forget them, they did not Died on the battlefield, but died in a conspiracy, this is a regret they will never be able to make up for!"
Looking at Gao Yuan with a passionate expression, Tan Feng sighed. Gao Yuan bluntly said that he could no longer be friends and made him feel sad. Although he knew this was the result, but from Gao Yuan's mouth, the effect was naturally very different. This is Decided.
"General Tan, please sit down. I think we should talk about the business. The past is over. It's useless to talk about it. It's just heartbreaking. Master Ning asked you to come. What do you want to say to me?" Gao Yuan's excited expression gradually calmed down. down.
Tan Feng took a deep breath and nodded, "Master Ning said that there are no permanent friends, nor permanent enemies, but only permanent interests. I believe General Gao must be able to understand this. The previous incident has passed , General Gao escaped death, it is worthy of congratulations, in the future, the two of us would like to have a lot of cooperation in the future."
Gao Yuan laughed, "Master Ning is really a great person in the world. Our two families are almost at odds with each other now, but he still wants to make a deal with me?"
Tan Feng shook his head, "Gao Yuan, with all due respect, in the matter of Jicheng, it was Zhou Taiwei who wanted your life, and Lord Ning wanted to bring down Ye Xiang. In the eyes of Lord Ning, you are dead or alive It's okay, as long as the goal of defeating Ye Xiang is achieved, in the same way, in the days to come, the one who wants to kill you and is willing to kill you will never be our Lord Ning, but Zhou Taiwei, so Lord Ning said, We still have a basis for cooperation.”
"After taking down Ye Xiang, the next step is to deal with Taiwei Zhou!" Gao Yuan looked at Tan Feng sarcastically, "The troika fell apart and turned into a two-man caravan. Why, does Master Ning still want to sing a one-handed show? Hmm , Could it be that Master Ning's further ideal is to simply bring down the one at the top, and then he will go up by himself?"
Gao Yuan bluntly said that Ning Zecheng wanted to usurp the throne, and Tan Feng and Ning Xin's expressions changed drastically.
"General Gao was joking." Ning Xin stood up, "My father dared to do such a big treasonous event. What my father is doing now is just for self-protection."
"Self-protection?" Gao Yuan laughed, "I think the biggest beneficiary of the Jicheng Incident this time should be Lord Ning, since Prime Minister Ye has fallen, and as the price of supporting Taiwei Zhou, I think Lord Ning's hand is now You have already fulfilled your wish and extended to the army, right? Lord Ning should have the power to dominate the world now, so you still need to protect yourself?"
"No!" Tan Feng said: "As you said, the Ning Department has indeed extended its hand into the army, but after all, the foundation is shallow. This time, the attack on Donghu is a good opportunity for Zhou Taiwei to use his sword to kill people, and use this to cleanse the Ning Department. Officer, and it still makes people speechless, General Gao, this is where we can cooperate."
After staring at Tan Feng for a while, Gao Yuan said, "What good do I have?"
