Hello Chang’an

Song Xian was shocked again. After a moment of reaction, he realized that this "not yet thought about it" was not the other "not yet thought about it".

Her "not yet thinking about it" was actually thinking about how the other party would die...

Song Xian stood up unconsciously: "What Chang Jieshi means is..."

"At this time, the imperial army and Bian's army were in a stalemate in Tanzhou. It is a taboo to kill the commander in front of the battle, but it cannot be generalized under different circumstances-" Chang Suining expressed his considerations: "It depends on Li Xian's behavior. Style, I think he might be more useful dead than alive."

Hearing this too "spot to the point" comment, Song Xian inexplicably felt a little more confident in his heart.

"But he is still in charge of the army, so he has to think of a more appropriate way to die -" Chang Sui Ning was still thinking: "We must not only be worthy of what he did, but also let the position of commander be handed over safely, so as not to affect the war. "

If Li Xian was just Li Xian, it couldn't be easier to kill him by sneaking at night and killing him with one knife.

But Li Xian is more than just Li Xian. This person must die, but his death must not be allowed to have another impact on the war situation and let more innocent people be buried with him.

Listening to Chang Sui Ning Zhouquan's thoughts, Song Xian nodded in agreement: "That's right, so the best way is to let the saint come forward to deal with it, but..."

But the saint has made his position clear on this - denying everything for Li Xian.

"If you want the saint to change his mind, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Song Xian had calmed down at this moment, but when he saw that Chang Suining's expression did not change, he couldn't help but said: "At this juncture, if Chang Jie envoy intends to come forward, he will definitely attract trouble. A lot of trouble…”

When Song Xian said this, he did not mean to object. On the contrary, this was something he had to do no matter what. He just believes that before a person makes a decision, he must understand the possible consequences of the decision and be prepared to accept the consequences, so that he can face all resistance without distraction -

He didn't want Chang Jie, who had reached his current position step by step, to make impulsive decisions.

After all, there is a lot at stake in this matter, and what is visible to the naked eye is—

"This matter is destined to do a lot of harm to you but no benefit..." Song Xian finally said.

He was thinking about Chang Sui Ning again and again, but he saw Chang Sui Ning Hun getting up from the bamboo stool indifferently, and said: "How can it be a hundred harms without any benefit? I was born and raised in this world, and I am waiting for this Whatever is beneficial to the world is naturally beneficial to me.”

She said to Song Xian: "This must be done."

Song Xian looked at the mysterious robed girl under the moonlight.

He suddenly discovered that no matter what she did, she never asked for credit or flaunted herself. People in the world always liked to act in the name of "selflessness", but she seemed to be just the opposite. Even if she did selfless things, she still had to blame herself for her own wishes. , self-interest.

Perhaps that's why she always seems to be more unruly and casual than ordinary people. When you stand with her, you never feel pressure or burden.

Before Chang Suining left, he finally said to Song Xian: "Don't be in a hurry to return to Beijing alone to die, and take good care of your life here, and wait for me to discuss a feasible charter with others."

Song Xian looked at the departing figure, and felt that someone had removed the heavy mountain on his shoulders, pulled away the blade he used to destroy his own path, and finally patted his shoulder to show relief -

The moonlight was cool, but it dyed the corners of Song Xian's eyes with a thin ray of red.

The palace walls of the capital were majestic, but in his heart they had decayed and collapsed into beautiful ruins.

What he saw here was simple and dilapidated, but it gave him comfort and shelter, making him feel that there was still a way to survive in this world.

Chang Suining walked a dozen steps, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a small head quickly retracting at the corner of a shack in front of him.

She pretended not to notice and walked past.

The little head ran out when he saw this, but he knelt down and kowtowed to Chang Suining's back, and counted seriously: "One, two..."

"How many do you want to knock on in total?"

The child concentrated on counting, and suddenly heard the sound. He raised his head and sat back in shock. He hurriedly got up, not even daring to breathe. He hung his little hands by his side and stood upright.

Chang Suining saw how cute he was and asked with a smile: "Why do you worship me secretly?"

The child replied quietly but honestly: "Zuo Yuanwai said, you can't disturb the adults..."

Chang Suining was impressed by the old man named Zuo, nodded and asked the child: "What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Xiaoyao!" the boy said, "My parents work as servants in Zuo Yuan's mansion, and my sister and I also follow the surname Zuo!"

Chang Sui Ning clearly seems to be a servant of the Zuo family.

"But my parents can no longer work for members. They have all died of illness." When the child said this, his voice became lower, and there were two tears in his eyes that were extraordinarily large because of his thinness.

Chang Suining then asked: "What about your sister?"

"Sister got separated from us..."

Chang Suining: "Do you want to get my sister back?"

The child nodded his head like garlic, and his tears were shed as he nodded quickly.

Chang Suining: "Then let me help you find it."

The kid nodded again.

Chang Suining asked again: "Do you want to avenge your parents?"

The kid nodded again!

Chang Suining: "Then let me help you get revenge."

The child does not yet have a very clear understanding of the word "revenge", but he has heard everyone talking about it these days, and he has a rough idea of ​​what it means.

He blinked his eyes washed by tears and asked, "What can Xiaoyao do for you?"

Chang Sui Ning smiled: "Let's wait until you grow up."

The child nodded vigorously: "Little coat must grow up quickly, and when he grows up, he must be as powerful as an adult!"

Chang Suining put his hands up and said slowly, "That's a bit difficult."

The child blinked in confusion.

"My lord, I am a great person who is rarely seen in a hundred years." Chang Sui Ning said without any shame.

However, the child was filled with admiration. He resigned from the difficulty and tried the next best thing: "When the little coat grows up, he will be half as powerful as the adults!"

"Okay." Chang Suining nodded: "When you grow up, I will definitely arrange a powerful job for you."

The child nodded ecstatically, feeling that he had the most powerful promise in the world.

The moonlight falls on the leaves, the wind blows, the leaves rustle, and the mottled moonlight falls on the ground.

After leaving enough manpower, Chang Suining took Shepherd's Purse and others to leave the place and settled in a temporary and simple shack less than two miles away from the affected people.

The governor of Mianzhou invited Chang Sui Ning to rest in Mianzhou city many times, but he was always rejected. Chang Suining consciously took the preventive decoction, but just in case, it was better to be careful and not plan to lead people around.

Although the shack is simple, it has everything you need. It is a summer night, and it is smoked with herbs to prevent mosquitoes, so it is very convenient to enjoy the cool air.

Chang Suining lay down on the mat with his arms folded, and could see the stars in the sky through the gap in the ceiling above his head. Chang Suining, who is used to this kind of life, is quite happy here, but the governor of Mianzhou is frequently disliked by his wife who is sleeping with him: "...are you infested with maggots or lice?"

The governor of Mianzhou sighed after being kicked by his wife again, and simply sat up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Who knows, as long as he thinks about the envoy sleeping in a shabby shack outside the city, while he is lying in bed. It was really difficult to sit and lie down on the soft couch.

The governor of Mianzhou tossed and turned all night, but Chang Sui Ning, who had been busy all day, fell asleep until dawn.

Shepherd's Purse brought a bucket of water for the adults to wash themselves.

Chang Sui Ning had just finished washing his face when he heard a female soldier come to report that a distinguished guest had come from afar.

This distinguished guest is none other than the distinguished guest selected and certified by Wang Changshi, Princess Xuan'an.

Arriving at such an hour, the eldest princess, who had obviously traveled day and night, dismounted her horse, took off her cloak that was stained with dew and moisture, and handed it to Yao Jin.

Chang Sui Ning had already stepped forward to welcome him, raised his hand and saluted: "Your Highness."

The eldest princess of Xuan'an held Chang Suining's hand, and the first thing she said when she opened her mouth was sighing: "Thank you for your hard work, my child."

After saying that, he looked at the subordinates behind Chang Suining: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Your Highness has come day and night. Please sit down and talk."

Princess Xuan'an nodded and sat down at the wooden table set up in the open air with Chang Sui Ning. Shepherd's Purse, Yao Jin and others retreated ten steps away to guard.

"I heard the news on the way here..." The eldest princess's eyes looked at Chang Sui Ning Shi with the coolness of early morning, but she said happily: "Fortunately, you arrived quickly."

As early as when she heard about the outbreak of the plague in Yuezhou, the eldest princess of Xuan'an came here intentionally. However, there was a lot of chaos near Xuanzhou, and it was extremely difficult for her to calm down, so she came here non-stop.

Yuezhou, like Xuanzhou, belongs to Jiangnan West Road, and the imperial court decides on the war. She can ignore it, but when it comes to the plague and the life and death of the people, she must not ignore it -

After discussing with Chang Suining, Princess Xuan'an also believed that it would be more appropriate to temporarily place the affected people within the boundaries of Mianzhou. However, as soon as a supply of food, medicine and materials were provided, Princess Xuan'an insisted on taking over: "I will do it later. Let Yao Jin stay in charge of this matter.”

Chang Suining does not fight with them. When an elder, especially a rich elder, wants to spend money, the best thing for a junior is to obey.

He also flattered him by saying, "In this case, His Highness will fund it, and I only need to bear this good reputation."

"Good reputation?" The eldest princess sighed: "What is a good reputation? I don't know about it in Beijing..."

At this point, the eldest princess did not elaborate further and only said: "But don't worry, if anyone dares to use this matter to cause trouble with you, I will never agree."

Chang Suining only smiled and nodded, and then said: "Junior, I have something else I want to discuss with you."

The eldest princess looked at the girl in front of her who always acted decisively: "Why do you still use the word "discuss"?

The next moment, I heard the girl say: "Your Highness, I want to kill someone."

The air around the fields is cool in the early morning, and butterflies with wings wetted by dew are quietly lying among the grass blades, waiting for the daylight to come.

The eldest princess looked at Chang Sui Ning quietly for a moment before asking: "Who are you going to kill?"

Chang Suining: "Korean Duke Li Xian."

The eldest princess was not surprised when she heard this, but she was speechless for a moment.

Chang Suining continued on his own and said: "Li Xian is now leading the troops to fight against Bian Jun on the Jiangnan West Road. Since the matter is related to the Jiangnan West Road, I have the courage to discuss it with His Highness -"

The eldest princess put down the rough porcelain tea cup in her hand and said: "As you said, he is leading the troops to fight against Bian Chunliang at this time, and he is the nephew of the saint... It is inappropriate for you to kill him."

Seeing the eldest princess looking up, Chang Sui Ning didn't speak in a hurry.

The eldest princess said to her: "It is very inappropriate for you to do this. It is more appropriate for me to step in."

Chang Suining was a little surprised: "Your Highness—"

The eldest princess interrupted her and said: "This matter is a family matter of my Jiangnan West Road. You have saved so many people in my Yuezhou City, don't you plan to leave me any use for it? If word spreads, people will I don’t know how to laugh at and look down on me, Li Rong of Xuanzhou.”

At the end of the words, there was a bit of an angry smile.

"I know that once you speak, you will definitely accomplish this." The eldest princess' voice softened slightly: "But now you have the power to attract trouble. If you get involved in this matter again, you will inevitably be in trouble... Now is the time When you are gathering momentum, save some strength for the future.”

Although she was not sure which path the child would choose in the future, it was always a good idea to save up more self-protection capabilities.

"But I am different." The eldest princess said: "Young public, I am supported by the people of Jiangnan West Road. Li Xian caused trouble and massacred people in Yuezhou. It is up to me to demand justice. Privately, he has taken possession of my Li With the surname of the Emperor, I should clean up this family!"

The eldest princess has an open and majestic face, and she has a certain dignity when she is not smiling.

Chang Suining could tell that her words contained both responsibility for Jiangnan West Road and protection for the younger generation.

"I will go to the capital in person to 'expose' this matter to that saint, and ask for an explanation for the people of my Yuezhou who died in vain." Princess Xuan'an said firmly: "We must also let the He family's Li Xian die. Clearly understood.”

As the late emperor's direct sister, the eldest princess holds most of the political power in Jiangnan West Road, and all forces are trying their best to win her over. Her visit to the capital this time is the greatest pressure on the emperor.

"I haven't been back to Beijing for many years, so it's time for me to go back and have a look." The eldest princess raised her hand with a smile and gently rubbed Chang Suining's head: "Before I come back, I have to ask you to take more care of this place."

Seeing that the eldest princess Xuan'an had made up her mind and that this was indeed a better choice, Chang Sui Ning refused to engage in unnecessary arguments and nodded in agreement.

Two days later, Song Xian said goodbye to Chang Sui Ning. He wanted to return to Beijing with the eldest princess to expose Li Xian's crimes.

With the eldest princess in charge, his life will not be in danger during this trip, but it is foreseeable that even if the emperor compromises due to the pressure exerted by the eldest princess, Song Xian will never be reused by the emperor from now on. .

What he did this time was no different from betraying the court and betraying the emperor.

It is equivalent to entering the official career for the first time, and it has reached the end of the official career.

"Master Song, do you still want to be an official in the future?" Chang Suining asked before leaving.

The question was asked suddenly, but Song Xian answered without hesitation: "Yes."

He wants to continue to be an official, and he wants to be a high-ranking official, a high-ranking official whose words have weight. This "utilitarianism" is even stronger than before.

However, I can only think about it.

But I heard Chang Suining say with a smile: "I think Mr. Song will be promoted to a higher level one day and let go."

"I would like to express my good wishes to Chang Jie Envoy." Song Xian only thought she was relieved, and finally raised his hand and bowed deeply: "I hope Chang Jie Envoy will pay more attention to her, and Song Xian will say goodbye."

Chang Suining returned the gift with his hand and watched Song Xian and the eldest princess and their entourage leave.

In the afternoon of that day, Doctor Sun, Qiao Yumian, and several Jiangdu doctors found Chang Suining and made a proposal.

After hearing this, Chang Suining began to think seriously. In this case, she had to find a way to capture someone from Li Xian first.

Good night everyone~ Today the dragon raises its head, I specially cut my hair, and I also gave the dog and cat a haircut^_^ I wish everyone a prosperous year in the Year of the Dragon!
