Xiao Qinghuan

Since the beginning of autumn, it was the first time that Pingjiang had such heavy rain.

The autumn rain is different from the spring rain. It is bitingly cold when it sticks to the body. In addition, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is humid and cold. When it rains, the cold air seems to penetrate the flesh and bones.

Although it was not yet curfew time, thanks to the rain, the streets were almost empty.Lamp oil is still a big expense for ordinary people, so after leaving West Street, the street is mostly dark and gloomy, with only sporadic lights at first glance.

There are many right and wrong places in the officialdom.Except for the banquet that went to Wen Zui back then, the number of times Yan Qing went to the government office can be counted on one's fingers.Fortunately, the Pingjiang government office is very easy to find, Yan Qing didn't wander around like a headless chicken like before looking for Xie Jue.

Raindrops fell like lines along the edge of the paper umbrella, and splashed one after another under the feet.

Yan Qing bumped into Jiang Xiaohan at the corner half a street away from the government office. Mr. Jiang was alone. Jiang Ying and Jiang Mo didn't know where they went. Walking over the street, most of the clothes on my body were already wet.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't reply to He Liuyun in the end.

He never liked to hand over the initiative to others, so even if He Liuyun stood in front of him knowing that the situation was settled, he didn't want to make a decision lightly.

He Liuyun seemed to have expected that he would make this decision, and he was not angry. He only said that His Highness was thirsty for talent, and he was willing to stay in Pingjiang City for ten days, waiting for Jiang Xiaohan to think it over.

——Ten days is exactly the time when Xie Yongming's fast horse can reach the capital.

He Liuyun is so sure about Xie Yongming's matter, can he handle him?

Jiang Xiaohan originally thought that it was Ning Zongyuan's handwriting, but in the end it was aimed at Xie's family, but He Liuyun's behavior seemed to be Ning Zheng's own initiative.

The affairs in central Beijing are like a muddy quagmire now, the water surface is turbid and unrecognizable, everyone wants to get involved, if one is not careful, one will be stuck in it and cannot get out.

Jiang Xiaohan felt his head hurting again.

He is far away from the capital now, and everything can only be guessed. It seems that there is no other way to go for a while except to see the tricks.

But even so, Jiang Xiaohan wanted to drag him on, and he didn't want to tie himself to any boat unless it was absolutely necessary.

The rainy night in the south of the Yangtze River was too humid, and the old wounds on Jiang Xiaohan's body began to show fine soreness.If it was usual, with such a heavy rain outside, Jiang Xiaohan would definitely rest in the government office, but now he probably knows that there are people waiting for him, so the idea of ​​"going home" came up for no reason.

Once this thought was out of control, Jiang Xiaohan couldn't rest assured, so he simply walked out in the rain.

It's just that he didn't expect that Yan Qing would come to pick him up.

The rainwater slid down the blade of Chixiao Sword and fell to the ground. Yan Qing held a paper umbrella and stood three steps away from him and looked at him. Their eyes met and they were stunned at the same time.

Yan Qing did not expect that he would dare to go out in such a heavy thunderstorm, but Jiang Xiaohan did not expect Yan Qing to come at all.

Over the years, although Mr. Jiang has been regarded as a high-ranking and powerful man, pampered and well-behaved, and the servants and subordinates around him are considered fine, but no one has ever paid attention to such trivial matters for him.

Or in addition to this, some unexplainable feelings spread.

Perhaps the person who was still thinking about him just now appeared in front of him suddenly, or maybe when he was thinking about "going home", he found that there were still people thinking about him. The oil-paper umbrella was so messed up that I couldn't remember anything for a while.

It was Yan Qing who calmed down first, and moved the paper umbrella over Jiang Xiaohan's head, covering most of the rain for him.

Only then did Jiang Xiaohan come back to his senses, and subconsciously wanted to pick up the umbrella in his hand.

As soon as the tentacles were grasped, Jiang Xiaohan frowned: "Why are your hands so cold?"

"My body temperature is already lower than others, so it's okay." Yan Qing said, "It's you, your clothes are all wet, and the autumn night is very cold, so be careful of catching cold."

Such homely and unnutritious gossip made Jiang Xiaohan happy, he smiled lightly, took the umbrella from Yan Qing's hand, and leaned slightly towards Yan Qing.

Jiang Xiaohan said, "I'll go back in a few steps."

The government office behind him was immersed in the night, and the plaque was soaked by rain, showing the color of ancient sunken wood.

Yan Qing's gaze swept Jiang Xiaohan lightly behind him, and then fell back on him. Seeing that although his clothes were very wet, he didn't look embarrassed, so he was relieved.

"What are you doing out on such a heavy rainy day?" Jiang Xiaohan said softly, "Lightning and thunder, the two children at home should be scared."

"There is Ah Zhan." Yan Qing turned his head to look at him: "It's you, Jiang Mo Jiang Ying, why is no one by your side?"

"Jiang Ying has something to do, and Jiang Mo was called by me to appease Xie Jue." For some reason, Jiang Xiaohan never kept secrets from him about these court affairs, he paused, and then said: "And—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Yan Qing's eyes looking behind him, Jiang Xiaohan took advantage of the situation and turned his head, only to find two people walking by the street.

Yan Qing subconsciously clenched the Akasaka Sword slightly, and looked at the person coming vigilantly.

The person who came was wearing a coir raincoat, water drops dripped on the ground, the wide hood covered most of his face, Yan Qing glanced down and saw that he was wearing high-quality official boots.

The man walked up to Jiang Xiaohan and stood still, and gave Jiang Xiaohan a slight salute.

——It was He Liuyun.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't say a word, but gently held Yan Qing's wrist, and took a step forward without showing any signs, blocking He Liuyun's sight.

"Why did your lord come back again?" Jiang Xiaohan said.

The other party smiled apologetically, with a bit of embarrassment in his tone: "I wanted to go to the post house, but it's a pity that after a long time in Pingjiang, I couldn't find the way for a while, so I had to turn back first. I didn't want to see you here. It's really a fate."

Jiang Xiaohan didn't want to have a relationship with him, and he didn't take up the words when he heard the words, but said indifferently: "Follow the road on the right and go straight and turn left. The post house is on the right side of that street."

He Liuyun cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

As he spoke, he took half a step back, took another deep look at Yan Qing, and then turned around and left.

After he walked away, Jiang Xiaohan turned around and looked at Yan Qing: "It's He Liuyun."

"He Liuyun, Governor of Anqing Mansion?" Yan Qing asked, "What is he here for?"

"He came to be a lobbyist for Ning Zheng, and the situation in Beijing and China is getting more and more intense. He hopes that I can stand by Ning Zheng's side." Jiang Xiaohan said, "But I didn't answer him, and I should have gone to the post house by now... Besides, Xie Yongming He was ordered to be held accountable by Ning Zheng, and he came to Pingjiang, maybe he also has this kind of relationship."

"Xie Yongming?" Yan Qing frowned: "Ning Zheng is just a prince, does he have the right to hold the First Rank Marshal accountable?"

"Normally not." Jiang Xiaohan shook his head: "Let's not talk about Xie Yongming, he doesn't even have the right to call me back to Beijing. I don't know what kind of guts this time, dare to attack Xie's army... Shu Chuan They didn't even stop him."

"Shu Xiang is old, not to mention that people's greed is as unfathomable as an abyss. As long as you hold one point in your hand, you will want ten in your heart. Who can control it." Yan Qing tried to comfort him: "You are today because of Is this coming home late?"

"Yes." Jiang Xiaohan sighed softly: "He Liuyun is at least [-]% sure that he dared to show his cards with me. I don't know what kind of support Ning Zheng took Xie Yongming to make him so confident."

"...Speaking of this, I did a divination today." Yan Qing said.

He came to pick up Jiang Xiaohan, besides remembering that Jiang Xiaohan didn't bring an umbrella, there were also some hexagram reasons.This hexagram was inauspicious, and it involved major events in Beijing, so he felt it was necessary to talk to Jiang Xiaohan.

"Hidden under the waves?" Jiang Xiaohan repeated.

"Yes." Yan Qing nodded, he held Jiang Xiaohan's hand and pulled the umbrella back: "Today's sky also seems to be different, it's not a good omen."

If the people of Kunlun talk about divination and alchemy, they are sure and there is no need to question it.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't know much about these divinations, so he could only look at Yan Qing, and asked again: "Your Majesty hit the word with source, does this hexagram refer to him?"

"Not necessarily." Yan Qing shook his head, and patiently explained to him: "Liu Yao can only guess the general situation, but I can't ask the specifics."

Jiang Xiaohan nodded without forcing it.

The two of them walked side by side in the rain, a paper umbrella propped up a small corner of the world, thunder bursts, and even the human voice was as soft as a whisper.

It was Yan Qing who spoke first.

"Xiaohan, I don't seem to have asked you about your future plans." Yan Qing said.

"Huh?" Jiang Xiaohan was startled for a moment, then smiled: "Who knows what will happen in the future, most likely, I will ask you to change to a job and spend a happy life with you."

Yan Qing glanced at him: "Looking at the current momentum of the two Highnesses, I'm afraid they won't let you go so easily."

"They fight for me, just want to have an extra bargaining chip to reach the top. As for what will happen to me after I actually sit in that position in the future, they don't care." Jiang Xiaohan talked about this, and he became more interested: "When the time comes you If you are willing to stay in the capital, we will be in the capital, if you do not like the prosperity and want to go back to Kunlun, I will ask you to go to the border town, which will be closer to you."

Jiang Xiaohan was rarely in such high spirits, Yan Qing looked at him and curled the corners of his lips.

Yan Qing likes Jiang Xiaohan's confident appearance. He is full of talent and has the ability to help the world. Standing on a high platform where one person is under one person and above ten thousand people, he should be in such high spirits.

It was like two or three sentences of ordinary gossip, the two of them tacitly stopped the conversation at the same time, and did not continue.

Whether it is Jiang Xiaohan or Yan Qing, they all know that this vision is too ideal, and I am afraid that it will not be easily realized.

It's just that the rainy night is long, and the two of them are very close together. When they turned their heads to talk, their body temperature blended together along the thin fabric, as if even their breathing was tangled together.

The atmosphere was so good that no one said anything to spoil the scenery.

The two of them walked side by side in unison, walking into the thick night.

It's just that Jiang Xiaohan didn't expect that besides He Liuyun, there would be uninvited guests from far away tonight.
