The first male queen [crossing]

In the hall of the county yamen in Songzhu County, Xiao Yuan left all the soldiers outside the yamen, and only brought Huo Situ, Gu Junci and Lu Qingxuan in the main hall.

The guards were all guarding in the courtyard and whispering, not daring to approach at all.

Xiao Yuan, dressed in white, was wearing a jade crown, and his loose hair was respectfully scattered behind his back. He stood up straight, and slightly raised his eyes to look at the plaque hanging above the mirror in the main hall.

Gu Junci and Lu Qingxuan stood together, did not speak, just quietly waiting for the county magistrate of Songzhu County, that is, Lu Qingxuan's brother-in-law Zheng Yuzhi to come out.

Zheng Yuzhi, who had heard the sound, changed into his official uniform, and walked out of the back hall calmly. The moment he saw Lu Qingxuan, his expression changed, but it was fleeting. He just calmly walked in front of Xiao Yuan, and looked at him. Salute deeply:

"A few days ago, I heard that Second Young Master Xiao had been bedridden with illness. Seeing Second Young Master's high spirits, I think his health is much better."

Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yuan furtively, feeling a little puzzled.

Xiao Yuan was ill, why he didn't mention it in the letter, not only didn't mention it, but even sent various things to Luoyang, it's really strange.

Xiao Yuan didn't answer him directly, but said in a cold voice: "You should have read the proclamation sent by Luoyang. Wei Guogong's rebellion has already been heard in the streets. Doesn't Zhengzhi County have anything to say?"

Zheng Yuzhi also stopped pretending, his eyes fell on Lu Qingxuan, and then he said to Xiao Yuan: "The second son is wrong, although I married the daughter of the Lu family in Fanyang, I didn't marry into her family, Zhuo Jing also belonged to the Zheng family in Xingyang Daughter-in-law, you have nothing to do with Fan Yang and the Lu family, does the second son want to say that because my brother-in-law came to seek refuge with me, we are also accomplices?"

Xiao Yuan glanced sideways at Zheng Yuzhi, and remembered his questioning in his heart, and then said: "It was the county magistrate who made a mistake. I just caught a criminal from the imperial court in your Songzhu County, and I am here to inform you. Let me tell you by the way, Songzhu County is not bad under your governance, my father just wants to see you, Zhengzhi County doesn’t need to be so sensitive.”

Zheng Yuzhi looked directly at him, and then looked at Lu Qingxuan with some worry, before he said, "Criminal? What criminal? Second Young Master Xiao said that the criminal was captured in Songzhu County, isn't that just saying that I colluded with them and wanted to punish him for crimes?" There is nothing to worry about."

Xiao Yuan lowered his eyes and sighed: "Before I said anything, the magistrate of Zheng charged himself with the crime. In this case, I can only take you back to Lanling. Someone will come and take them away."

"Second Young Master Xiao, Second Young Master Xiao." Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Lu Qingxuan rushed out and grabbed Xiao Yuan's sleeve, "Second Young Master, listen to me, my brother-in-law has nothing to do with my father's affairs. Just grab me and go with you, it has nothing to do with my brother-in-law."

Xiao Yuan glanced at him sideways, then raised his eyes to look at Gu Junci, Gu Junci hurriedly dragged Lu Qingxuan back, he wanted to say something, but Gu Junci pulled his sleeves and looked at him in puzzlement past.

Gu Junci signaled him to keep quiet, and Lu Qingxuan closed his mouth for some unknown reason, and looked at Zheng Yuzhi worriedly.

Seeing the soldiers of the Lanling Xiao family rushing in outside the yamen, the yamen servants were also frightened and dodged aside one after another. After a while, the soldiers who rushed into the back yamen escorted Zheng Yuzhi's wife out.

But at this moment, he couldn't care about the recognition of his siblings, so Xiao Yuan immediately called the soldiers to put the four of them on the horses outside the yamen.

Before leaving, Xiao Yuan said to the group of yamen servants: "In a few days, a new county magistrate will take office. During this period, the affairs in the yamen will be taken care of by the master."

It wasn't until the affairs in the yamen were properly arranged that he got on his horse and left Songzhu County with Gu Junci and the four of them.

Mrs. Zheng in the carriage hugged Lu Qingxuan and wept bitterly. First, the siblings hadn't seen each other for more than two years, and second, the family suffered such a big change. Right now, I don't know whether Lu Wenyuan in Fanyang is good or bad. Wouldn't have been brought back to Luoyang by Linyang King, everything is still unknown.

Zheng Yuzhi, on the other hand, kept his eyes on Gu Junci. He hadn't said a word when he saw him just now, and he even prevented Lu Qingxuan from pleading with Xiao Yuan. All this is a bit too strange.

"Little brother, I'm curious why you are so calm?"

Gu Junci smiled: "The magistrate of Zheng County was arrested, but he didn't complain about being wronged. Why can't I calm down?"

Lu Qingxuan wiped away his tears, and looked at the two of them with some doubts: "What are you talking about?"

Zheng Yuzhi said: "Qingxuan, do you know that your friend has extraordinary concentration."

Lu Qingxuan was still confused, but Gu Junci smiled and said:

"You and the Second Young Master Xiao are just playing. If someone in the court asks about it in the future, the yamen in the yamen will say that the Second Young Master Xiao took you away. You have argued hard, no matter what happens in the end. , you will not be implicated. I think you have discussed it early in the morning, regardless of whether Qingxuan and I arrive in Songzhu County today, he will come back and bring you to Lanling, right?"

Zheng Yuzhi looked directly at Gu Junci, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes: "Who are you, this Second Young Master Xiao told you?"

Gu Junci just smiled and said nothing, until the carriage left Songzhu County safely, everyone was relieved.

The carriage also stopped by the stream, the soldiers spread out to guard, and Gu Junci and the others also got off the carriage, and happened to meet Xiao Yuan who was in front of the carriage.

"What are your plans?" Xiao Yuan asked.

Lu Qingxuan said: "My sister and brother-in-law are protected by the second son, so I can rest assured. I want to go to my father."

Xiao Yuan looked at Gu Junci: "What about you?"

Gu Junci thought for a while: "I'm going to Lanling with you. The situation on Fan Yang's side is unclear at the moment. Qingxuan will go there rashly, I'm afraid it will be dangerous, so I plan to stay in Lanling and settle down after a while. Then send him to Fan Yang."

Xiao Yuan looked straight at Gu Junci, his eyes were a little complicated, Gu Junci could clearly see the movement of him nibbling his back molars, but he couldn't understand it, but I haven't seen him for a few months, this Xiao Yuan How did it change?

Then Xiao Yuan said: "Okay, hurry up and take a rest, let's hurry back to Lanling as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble."

Several people responded, Mrs. Zheng took Lu Qingxuan to the side because she hadn't seen him for a long time, and Gu Junci naturally followed Xiao Yuan's side, his eyes full of doubts:

"The magistrate of Zheng County said you were sick. What kind of illness is it? Is it serious?"

Because there was no one else at the moment, Xiao Yuan's expression became much gentler, and he replied seriously: "It's not a serious illness, and it's recovered now."

Gu Jun said: "Then why didn't you tell me in the letter that you sent so many things, I will..."

"Is the wine good?" Xiao Yuan interrupted Gu Junci's chattering question and changed the subject.

Gu Junci thought for a while, then nodded immediately: "It's delicious, very fragrant, and it's the most fragrant wine I've ever had."

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, and said casually: "I heard that Mr. Xie also sent you a lot of things, what are they?"

Gu Junci didn't understand, so: "It's not expensive, but some ingenious gadgets. I guess he thought it was interesting to look at, so he sent them here. Many of them were played by children."

Xiao Yuan let out a groan, but Gu Junci, who listened to that tone, felt nervous: "It seems that you have given away a lot, so which one do you like best, Brother Gu?"

"what?"

"I mean, Brother Gu, what do you like from Mr. Xie?" Xiao Yuan asked again, with a bit of danger in his tone.

Gu Junci thought about it for a while, and then said: "By the way, the wrist crossbow he gave is not bad, but unfortunately I stayed in Luoyang, but the design is good, it is very small, and it is indeed a piece of art to tie it on the wrist and hide it in the sleeve. It’s a pity to have a rare hidden weapon.”

Xiao Yuan took a full view of Gu Junci's expression full of regret, and felt very unhappy in his heart, and ignored Gu Junci, turned around and greeted all the soldiers, saying that he had enough rest, and he should set off back to Luoyang up.

Gu Junci didn't notice the change in Xiao Yuan's expression at all, he just smiled and boarded the carriage with Lu Qingxuan and the others, and headed for Lanling.

However, Xiao Yuan was also very thoughtful. After returning to Lanling, he sent the group of them to the small courtyard prepared in advance in the west of the city, and sent a few soldiers to secretly protect Lu Qingxuan and Mrs. Zheng.

Zheng Yuzhi and Xiao Yuan in the yard were discussing about going to meet Liang Guogong later. When Lu Qingxuan enthusiastically helped Gu Junci arrange this residence, Xiao Yuan's eyes were fixed on the two of them. I feel very intrusive.

Xiao Yuan didn't hear what Zheng Yuzhi said, he just looked at Lu Qingxuan and said, "Brother Lu, don't be busy, Mr. Gu is my Lanling Xiao family's great benefactor, since he came to Lanling, how can my father do that?" I don't see him."

From a distance, Lu Qingxuan's eyes full of joy dimmed, and he looked sideways at Gu Junci: "Brother Gu, are you really not staying? I still want my sister to cook some special dishes, thank you help."

Gu Junci stretched out his hand and patted Lu Qingxuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Second Master Xiao is right. When you come to Lanling now, you really should go to visit Mr. Liang Guogong first. Just wait for me here, and I will go to meet you. return."

Xiao Yuan said: "Brother Gu, I'm afraid you are thinking too much. Since you are a distinguished guest of my Xiao family, you should naturally live in the Xiao family's mansion. This place is arranged to protect Brother Lu and Brother Zheng and his wife. You still Living in the Xiao family mansion is safer."

Gu Junci looked straight at Xiao Yuan, clearly with a gentle smile on his face, but in Gu Junci's eyes, he always felt a little strange.

Lu Qingxuan was a little helpless: "It's okay, brother Gu, come tomorrow, and tomorrow I will ask my sister to cook delicious dishes for you."

Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yuan, then at Lu Qingxuan's appearance, couldn't help but nodded with a smile, as a response.

On the other hand, Zheng Yuzhi saw Xiao Yuan's various expressions in his eyes, and then said: "The second young master seems to be very unusual for this Gu Junci?"

Xiao Yuan looked sideways at Zheng Yuzhi, still smiling gently, but seeing Zheng Yuzhi felt like a thorn in his back, very uncomfortable.

He reached out and patted Zheng Yuzhi's shoulder, and said seriously: "Brother Zheng has come to Lanling now, so naturally the magistrate of Songzhu County can't do it, so he will wrong Brother Zheng and serve under my command in the future."

Zheng Yuzhi hurriedly bowed to him, and his originally tense mood calmed down in an instant.
