Chapter 2 Termites Eating Trees

When the sky cleared, Xia Heyu also went back to the house.Hearing the vague noise outside the window, Jiang Linyuan got up, carefully pressed the painting in his hand under the pillow, pulled a strip of white cloth, wrapped it around his right arm, which was no longer in pain, and walked towards the door. As he walked, he knew that Xia Heyu must be looking for him when he came back.

Speaking of which, Jiang Linyuan knew that Xia Heyu was because of Yang Pei.When he was next to Yang Pei's pillow, he never fell asleep. Since he couldn't fall asleep, he would get up and wander around the house quietly.Wandering around, I saw various secret letters pressed on Yang Pei's case. One of the letters had various names on it, and each name was followed by an official name, followed by several official names. comment.

When Jiang Linyuan was bored at night, he often listened to Yang Pei's snoring, and looked at these paragraphs of comments through the moonlight outside the window, as if listening to a market storyteller.Some of these comments are vicious, insidious, cunning, and mercenary, while others are gentle, honest and honest.But when it came to Xia Heyu's place, the comment only had two words: need to be removed.

Under the cold moonlight, these two characters were slightly creepy, and the strokes of the handwriting were thicker than others. It could be seen that they were written with great effort. At that time, Jiang Linyuan knew that Xia Heyu, who was the official to the general servant, was Yang Pei's opponent, this name is deeply etched in his mind.

After more than a month of effort like this, Jiang Linyuan basically recognized the names of the civil servants and generals in the court, and Yang Pei didn't know what Jiang Linyuan did at night, but he was too lazy to care about it and didn't believe it. What kind of trouble could happen to this little thing that he played with day and night.Later, he got really annoyed, so he made a rule that every night before going to bed, he would tie a rope around Jiang Linyuan's neck and tie it to a post by the bed, to prevent him from messing with those secret letters again.

Jiang Linyuan didn't care about it at that time, anyway, he had seen those things almost, so he curled up in a corner of the couch at night, blinking his eyes and slowly sorting out the intricate relationships between characters and the style with Yang Pei's subjective color. review.

So looking at Yang Pei who was sleeping like a dead pig, Jiang Linyuan came to a conclusion that if he wanted to kill Yang Pei and completely overthrow his power, there was only one person he could rely on, Xia Heyu.So now, there is Jiang Linyuan in Xia Heyu's mansion.

At this moment, Jiang Linyuan was leaning on the door handle to fasten the cloth strips, and heard a servant outside the door calling: "Young master Jiang, the young master asked you to come over."

Jiang Linyuan chuckled, thinking that he had finally waited for this sentence, pulled down the sleeve on his right arm and flattened it, and said, "Got it, I'll be right there."

After the heavy rain today, the ground was very wet, and there were shallow puddles in the grooves of the bluestone slabs, and there would be small splashes when stepped on.Brilliant fire-burning clouds filled the sky, and the golden and reddish rays of light sprinkled on the dark red roof of the General's Mansion, adding a bit of splendor.

Jiang Linyuan walked to the living room, still in the same posture, the folding fan in his left hand was still closed, but it was held in his hand and swayed irregularly like a cat's tail.

Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, Xia Heyu narrowed his eyes and looked at a picture on the wall. Seeing Jiang Linyuan standing outside the door, he put down the cup of tea and said to him, "Come in."

Jiang Linyuan nodded, and when he stepped over the eaves, a drop of water happened to fall and hit his shoulder, wetting a small piece of fabric silently.

Xia Heyu was sitting in front of the table, propping his head on his right hand and looking at Jiang Linyuan. The index finger of his left hand tapped the table lightly, making a slight "Dangdang" sound. The hot tea in his hand was steaming, and Jiang Linyuan could smell it. For the good Wuzi Xianhao, Yang Pei was very willing to drink this tea. There was even a period of time when Jiang Linyuan ate the root of this tea in his meals, so Jiang Linyuan was very familiar with the taste of this tea.

"Young Master Jiang." Xia Heyu said, his voice was calm, "What is the origin?"

"I'm just a wanderer." Jiang Linyuan said, with a respectful and humble tone.

"A quack? It's a pity that the Xia mansion is too small to be called a Jianghu. I'm afraid it can't accommodate Mr. Jiang." Xia Heyu raised the teacup again and said.

"General Xia is issuing an order to evict guests?" Jiang Linyuan asked.

"Ask knowingly." Xia Heyu's tone added a bit of impatience.

"But Jiang felt that he could help General Xia." Jiang Linyuan said sincerely.

"Oh?" Xia Heyu thought it was funny, "How can you help me with your frail appearance?"

Jiang Linyuan curled up the corners of his lips, and raised his eyes to face Xia Heyu for the first time. The breeze and waves in his eyes were all directed at Xia Heyu, which made Xia Heyu a little stunned.

"Jiang just knows that a hundred-year-old tree will not be broken by the storm, but will die under the hands of the insects and ants in the interior. Now that the people in the court are scattered, isn't it just a big tree bitten by termites?"

Xia Heyu was stunned for a few blinks before he understood Jiang Linyuan's meaning, but he smiled disdainfully: "You don't need to say that, anyone with a discerning eye can see it in the court today."

"But Jiang is different from them." Jiang Linyuan continued unhurriedly, "They want to revive the court and get rid of insects and ants, but what Jiang thinks is... to cut down trees."

"Presumptuous!" Before Jiang Linyuan's voice fell, Xia Heyu growled at him, slapped the teacup on the table, jingled, stood up and said, "You actually have such thoughts?"

"Jiang doesn't have much in mind." Jiang Linyuan took a step back and lowered his head again, smiling, "Just thinking, General Xia, don't feed me cabbage anymore, Jiang will almost turn into a rabbit."

This sentence made Xia Heyu's frown furrowed, squinting his eyes to look at Jiang Linyuan, and suddenly said: "Okay, Xia's residence probably can afford your meat."

Jiang Linyuan lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Thank you, General."

After Jiang Linyuan left, Xia Heyu called a young boy by the door in, and said to him, "Remember to tell the cook to get more meat for Jiang Linyuan in the future, not beef and mutton, but cheap pork and chicken." .”

"Yes." The boy replied.

"Also, send someone to watch me closely, and report to me in time if there is anything wrong with Jiang Linyuan, you understand."

"know."

"Yes." Xia Heyu nodded, "Bring me Zhang Ling again, I have something to ask him."

"Yes." The boy replied, but he didn't move, waiting for Xia Heyu to think of something again, but when Xia Heyu kicked him, he said, "Go, why are you so dazed?"

"Ah? Oh." The boy answered in a daze, and turned around to leave.

"Wait a little longer, the tea is cold, bring me another one." Xia Heyu said.

The boy lowered his head and looked sad.

That night, meat was placed on the table in Jiang Linyuan's room, although it was very simple, white cut meat sprinkled with some salt and spices.Jiang Linyuan raised his eyebrows and took a sip of the chopsticks.It's very cool tonight.Jiang Linyuan thought to himself, it rained well today.

As expected, Xia Heyu really harbored these rebellious feelings.
