Fire Captain

"Husband! Husband...how are you?"

Such a serious matter as the Prince being "attacked" naturally had to be reported to the general. Ye Zhao hurried over after receiving the letter. Looking at Zhao Yujin with a bruise on his head, he couldn't help but say with heartache.

Zhao Yujin said angrily: "Why can't you check it yourself... Don't let me know who it is... If I catch him, I won't let him go!"

Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Yujin and said hurriedly, "Qiu Shui, go get the medicine I usually use for injuries!"

"Yes, General!"

Qiu Shui quickly brought Ye Zhao's wound medicine. Ye Zhao said, "Husband, I will help you apply the medicine. Please bear with it!"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Yujin scream: "Ah!!!"

Ye Zhao was startled, thinking that something had happened to Zhao Yujin, and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong, husband?"

Zhao Yujin cried out: "It hurts..."

Ye Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "Husband, I haven't touched you yet!"

"Oh!" Zhao Yujin said, "Come on then!"

In Ye Zhao's opinion, Zhao Yujin's injury was not serious. At most, it was classified as a bruise. Although Zhao Yujin kept shouting that he wanted to find the murderer, Ye Zhao carefully observed his injuries while applying medicine to Zhao Yujin. He had a good guess about who the murderer was. Ye Zhao pretended to ask casually, "Husband, is there anyone visiting our house today?"

Zhao Yujin said without hesitation: "No one? Only Liu Yong came. I was bored to death staying at home every day..."

Ye Zhao asked: "Apart from Liu Yong, is there no one else?"

Zhao Yujin said: "No!"

Ye Zhao thought to himself: This shouldn’t be the case. If Bai Ziyang hadn’t come, what would have happened to my husband in all this trouble?

After thinking for a while, Ye Zhao asked, "Why did Liu Yong come here suddenly? He is a very busy man on weekdays and rarely comes to our house!"

Zhao Yujin said, "Hey, I heard that there is a beautiful lady living in the mansion. How can he, who loves flowers so much, not come to see her...hiss, be gentle!"

Ye Zhao was so surprised that he didn't know how to control his strength. He said, "Oh, okay... I'll be gentler... Then, did you take Liu Yong to see my cousin?"

Zhao Yujin was still unaware and said, "Well! Although your cousin is as beautiful as a fairy, Liu Yong is also a famous talent, and his poems are all over the world. Aren't they just right for each other... Didn't you say you wanted to find a good husband for your cousin? Let's find a few more candidates for your cousin and build a talent pool of young talents for her to choose from!"

Ye Zhao thought: Oh no, I forgot about it! Ever since Bai Ziyang came, Ye Zhao had already put aside the matter of choosing a son-in-law for his cousin, and as a result, he forgot to tell Zhao Yujin about it, and by the way, he also forgot to tell Bai Ziyang about his feelings for his cousin... What should I do if my stupid husband offends a very petty person? Waiting online... Very urgent!

As the two were talking, Xiao Xiazi came in and said, "Prince, General, Military Advisor Hu is here!"

Zhao Yujin immediately glared and said, "What? Get rid of him!"

Xiao Xia Zi was stunned and said, "Ah?" Then he looked at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao put away the medicine bottle and said, "Please ask him to come in!" After that, he glanced at Zhao Yujin and smiled, "Stingy!"

After Hu Qing came in, he just walked in front of Zhao Yujin and Ye Zhao. When he saw Zhao Yujin's face, he was so scared that he even forgot to greet him. He couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with the prince?"

Zhao Yujin slammed the table and said, "I don't know which little thief it is. If I catch him, I won't let him go!" Unexpectedly, he slammed the table a little too hard in anger, and immediately covered his hand and cried, "Oh...ah..."

Ye Zhao quickly pulled Zhao Yujin's hand over and rubbed it lovingly, saying, "Husband... it hurts... it's okay... it's okay!"

Hu Qing, who was being fed dog food, coughed helplessly, saluted and said, "Prince, General!"

Zhao Yujin then turned to Hu Qing and said, "Military Advisor Hu is here!"

Hu Qing said: "I heard that the prince came in unwell, so I came to see you!"

Zhao Yujin glanced at Hu Qing and said, "Military Advisor Hu, are you really here to see me? Why didn't you bring any souvenirs?"

Hu Qing rolled his eyes and said immediately, "I had prepared a few things, but I forgot to bring them when I was in a hurry to go out!"

Seeing this, Ye Zhao said stiffly, "This isn't a wedding or funeral, why bring souvenirs!" Zhao Yujin rolled his eyes... "Fox, come and sit! I'll make you some tea!"

Hu Qing came here today because he was suspicious of Zhao Yujin's strange illness and came to investigate the situation. Being alone with Zhao Yujin at this time was just what he wanted. He asked Zhao Yujin questions in a subtle way, and Zhao Yujin answered all his questions without any suspicion. Hu Qing already knew what was going on while talking. However, before leaving, Hu Qing looked at the flower arrangement sent by Liu Xiyin and said to Ye Zhao and Zhao Yujin, "This flower should not be placed indoors. Although it can help you sleep, if you become dependent on it, it will be difficult to fall asleep without it in the future!"

Ye Zhao said without any doubt: "Okay, I'll have them move out later!"

Zhao Yujin suddenly remembered something and said, "Military Advisor Hu, I have something else to trouble you with!"

Hu Qing said: "Please speak, Prince!"

Zhao Yujin said, "Military Advisor Hu is very knowledgeable. I heard that you can identify the weapon and find the murderer by the injuries? Can you tell me who did this?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Qing glanced at Ye Zhao and saw Ye Zhao shook his head imperceptibly. If it was someone else who did it, Hu Qing might not be able to tell, but the key point was that the injury on Zhao Yujin's body was too familiar. Not to mention others, he himself had been beaten with stones by Bai Ziyang several times. He didn't know how this stupid prince had offended Bai Ziyang. He was lucky to be punished severely, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "There is indeed such a saying in the martial arts world, but judging from the prince's injuries, the other party only used ordinary stones, and there was nothing special about the method of launching the hidden weapon, so... it is really hard to judge who did it..."

Zhao Yujin said with an unpleasant expression: "Then I'll ask the military advisor to help investigate..."

Hu Qing said: "Yes! No problem..."

After a few days, Zhao Yujin's injuries improved and he looked much more energetic. Finally, after the imperial physician's diagnosis, he was allowed to go out for a walk. Upon hearing this, Zhao Yujin immediately clamored to go out and enjoy the scenery. Finally, Ye Zhao decided to take Liu Xiyin with him to go out for an outing.

Going out to enjoy the scenery was supposed to be a happy thing, but unfortunately Ye Zhao kept talking about marriage, which made Liu Xiyin sad. Coincidentally, she met Ye Zhao's "fans" on the street, and they immediately surrounded Ye Zhao. Zhao Yujin became jealous again, rolled his eyes and left alone. Liu Xiyin felt it was inconvenient and followed Zhao Yujin and left.

"Prince!" Liu Long, who was standing on the covered bridge, saw Zhao Yujin, who was "bringing his family with him", from a distance, and quickly greeted him and came down. When the two were standing by the river and talking, Liu Xiyin stood not far away, seemingly looking at the scenery.

At this time, Bai Ziyang was drinking with Hu Qing in the tavern. Bai Ziyang said to Hu Qing, "You are a fox, not a dog. You can find my secluded residence in the capital!"

Hu Qing said, "After all, I have been in the capital for two years longer than you. If I can't even find you, what am I doing here?"

Bai Ziyang raised his wine glass and said, "You guys never come to me for no reason. To be honest, what's the point of digging me out with all the effort?"

Hu Qing said: "You have wronged me this time. I just came here to drink with you!"

Bai Ziyang looked at him in disbelief and said, "Forget it, I don't know you yet!"

Seeing Bai Ziyang drinking alone, Hu Qing said with wandering eyes: "It's just... I heard... you gave the prince to..."

Bai Ziyang said: "That's what I said. I didn't do anything big when I came to the capital. The only thing that could alarm you is Ye Zhao's affairs..."

Hu Qing suddenly said: "Miss Liu...?"

Bai Ziyang said, "Don't give me that... You change the subject when I mention Ye Zhao... You're too slow to act, so you deserve not to get married..."

Hu Qing pointed outside and said anxiously: "No... Look, that's really Miss Liu..."

Bai Ziyang had his back to the outside. He turned around and saw that the person standing at the railing next to the water was indeed Liu Xiyin. He glanced at Zhao Yujin who was talking to someone nearby. Bai Ziyang didn't know what he was thinking about, and immediately said, "Something is going to happen..." He threw down his chopsticks and walked out...

As expected, Bai Ziyang saw Liu Xiyin's fingertips move slightly, and a silver light flashed under the sunlight. Zhao Yujin, who was joking with Liu Long not far away, seemed to lose his balance and fell into the water with a splash. Liu Xiyin seemed to subconsciously reach out to pull Zhao Yujin, but he was a grown man, so how could a weak woman pull him? He fell into the water...

At this time, Bai Ziyang's lightness skill was brought to the extreme. He rushed towards Liu Xiyin like an arrow from a bow, grabbed Liu Xiyin's wrist, and pulled Liu Xiyin, who was about to fall into the water, into his arms with one force. With a slight touch on the water surface, the two of them floated away.

The people nearby didn't react at first. Only Hu Qing, who was sitting in the tavern holding his glass in a daze, and the unlucky Zhao Yujin, who was rescued by Ye Zhao after struggling in the water for a long time, were left...

Bai Ziyang took Liu Xiyin along the river and found a secluded place to put her down. After landing, Liu Xiyin had a blank expression on her face. She brushed away the willow branches in front of her, slowly walked to the river, turned her back to Bai Ziyang, sighed softly and said, "I thought you would never see me again!"

Bai Ziyang walked to Liu Xiyin's side, looked at the water and said, "I know why you came to the capital... I can accept all your nonsense, but I won't allow you to mess around with your reputation..."

Liu Xiyin looked at Bai Ziyang and said, "Do you also think I'm fooling around?"

Bai Ziyang looked into Liu Xiyin's eyes and said, "No, do you remember what I said to you when I left two years ago? I hope that your dream will come true... I knew at that time that with your personality, this day would come sooner or later... I won't stop you from doing what you are doing now, but I know you won't succeed!"

Liu Xiyin suddenly became excited and said, "Why can't I succeed? If Ah Zhao can become a woman, what else can't happen?"

Bai Ziyang frowned and said, "Ye Zhao didn't become a woman, she was originally a woman!"

Liu Xiyin also said with an unpleasant expression: "Yes, you knew it a long time ago!"

Bai Ziyang was speechless, and Liu Xiyin didn't expect him to say anything... The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became silent, and they both looked at the water and stopped talking... After a long time, Bai Ziyang said: "I'll take you back!"

The two of them were silent all the way until they reached the outside of the Nanping County Prince's Mansion. Seeing Liu Xiyin about to go in, Bai Ziyang suddenly said: "If your plan succeeds, I wish you all the best! If you fail, I will not give you a third chance to leave!"
