Chang'an [Rebirth]

Chapter 22 Chapter 22 ===

The general situation is over, and He Gui also knows that struggling is useless.

He thought he had woven a seamless web, but only then did he realize that he had fallen into someone else's web a long time ago. He lost to a ten-year-old girl and was completely unable to turn over.

He Gui accepted the secret order, but [-]% of the money and food were still divided in front of him. Once this matter was reported back to Beijing, how Zhao Qian planned to send him, the prefect dared not even think about it.

The rain was still falling, and there was a lot of noise around, Chai Zheng squeezed herself under Ruan Linshuang's umbrella. Don't even dare to rely on it.

"Chai Zheng, Master He and I have a few words to say." Ruan Linshuang smiled slightly, "Come with me."

"Oh... good." Chai Zheng whipped his whip before taking a step forward.

"Master He." Umbrella edge opened the distance between Ruan Linshuang and He Gui. He Gui heard the voice and just glanced down. His eyes were a little dull and his thinking was slow.

"Lord He, listen to me," Ruan Linshuang continued, "I have a way to save the lives of your wife and children."

He Gui's mind was empty right now, filled with fear and worry, but he didn't react for a while... How did this little girl know that her family was in danger?

He Gui bent down and put his ear close to Ruan Linshuang.

Even in Chai Zheng's position, he couldn't hear what they said clearly, but when He Gui stood up straight again, the confusion on his face dissipated, and he even cupped his hands at Ruan Linshuang, "Teach me."

A farce that tossed through the middle of the night and affected all parties, finally ended slowly in the early hours of the morning.

Chai Zheng took Ruan Linshuang's hand, feeling the coolness coming from above, but he was embarrassed to put it to his mouth to warm Ruan Linshuang.

How narrow-minded she usually is, now she is so thick, she took Ruan Linshuang after a long time, and put her into his arms from the wrist down.

"..."

Ruan Linshuang was staggered a step by her, and the tip of their noses almost touched.

In an instant, steaming water vapor gathered between the two of them, and when Chai Zheng raised her eyes, she saw Ruan Linshuang's drooping eyes, and her slender and thick eyelashes were clearly marked. For a moment, she felt blood rushing up, her neck and head turned red instantly, and she wanted to touch it again and again. Don't dare to touch, the cramped tongue is tied.

Ruan Linshuang and her are not the same, they haven't seen each other for six years, Chai Zheng has grown up a lot, almost as tall as her, and she is right in front of her eyes, they are holding the same umbrella...

Just thinking of this, even Ruan Linshuang's eyelids turned pink,

"I... let's go, let's go this way." Chai Zheng held the umbrella in one hand, and she didn't know how to let go of Ruan Linshuang with the other hand. She moved like a crab walking sideways, stepping on the left foot and the right foot in two steps, and stepped on herself. A seven meat and eight vegetarian.

Ruan Linshuang had just fought head-to-head and almost killed the governor of a state, but now she was stunned, Chai Zheng moved, and she followed, Chai Zheng had to step on herself just now, and now one foot has endured three times. The weight of the foot almost crushed her.

"...Or, let's get on the horse." Ruan Linshuang suggested in a low voice with red ears.

Chai Zheng didn't remember the pain at the moment, and since Xiao Ruan had spoken, she echoed, "Okay." Then she kicked the stirrup ten times, each time failing, and she was so anxious that her head started to sweat.

"..." Zhao Linlang watched her domineering daughter suddenly limp from behind, "Do you think the two little girls are a bit strange?"

She asked Ruan Yuzhang.

Zhao Linlang is a strange person, the kind of person who can hold back Chai Yuandao's romantic thoughts and still be ignorant. If Chai Yuandao hadn't worked hard to learn to write poems and sharpened his knives and mend clothes for her, Chai Zheng would not have had the chance to be born .

And Ruan Yuzhang is also a strange person. He read short story books at the age of three, started writing pornographic poems at the age of four, fell in love five times around the age of eight, and was named a romantic talent when he was ten years old. Those stories of poverty, hardship, or disappointment were also compiled into a booklet.

Even Zhao Linlang felt that something was wrong. Ruan Yuzhang had long seen a red pig pushing his own crispy and tender cabbage.

It's a pity that love matters, and they have always been fans of the authorities. Both Chai Zheng and Ruan Linshuang feel that it is their own wishful thinking, while the joy and red eyes shown by the other party are just the longing for the like-minded people who have been separated for many years.

The saddle was more than enough to squeeze two little girls, Chai Zheng let Ruan Linshuang sit in front, and she held the reins in the back.

They don't need to take care of the rest, and Zhao Linlang was also worried about Chai Zheng's shoulder injury, so he asked them to go back first.

The road was not long, but the horse walked very slowly. Chai Zheng had always talked a lot, but now he was depressed and didn't know how to speak.

We haven't seen each other for six years. Only the first few letters and the change in the child's face made her calm down from the initial excitement, and then a little sad, "Xiao Ruan seems to be estranged from me. We parted last time I don't even have time to talk properly... In six years, how many things are easy to change"

Chai Zheng thought aggrievedly again, "She and I are people from two different worlds. Little Ruan is at the height of the temple, and she has a weak heart. I haven't seen anything she particularly likes in so many years... Even her Planning a rebellion, I only found out when I was dying."

It was clear that they were riding the same horse, with their chests against their backs, and they could almost hear the heartbeat of the other party, but they seemed to be far away at this moment, and the living Ruan Linshuang in front of them suddenly became a vague shadow in Chai Zheng's memory.

A four-year-old and a 22-year-old shadow whispered in Chai Zheng's ear, "In her life, there has been no trace of you for more than ten years. You don't know this little Ruan, nor are you familiar with it."

This kind of cognition was so heart-wrenching that it hurt Chai Zheng even to breathe, and her hand holding the rein twitched twice, causing Ruan Linshuang to ask in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Chai Zheng's mind went blank for a moment, and what he blurted out was, "Is that Prefect He still alive?"

"..." If it weren't for the fact that he was still sitting on the horse at this moment, Chai Zheng might want to dig a hole and push himself head and tail into it.

Reunion after a long absence, you just ask this?

The surroundings became quiet again, the sky was overturned, the rain in the south of the Yangtze River was soft and bleak, Ruan Linshuang held up an umbrella, but this umbrella could not stop the continuous rain that was blowing with the wind.

Because of the commotion in front of the state government office, people along the street dared not sleep to death. The candles had been lit all night, and they were already tired now. The flickering light fell through the window paper and fell into the stagnant water. The tail of the rain was dyed a warm orange.

Ruan Linshuang sat at the front of the saddle, looking out at the lights of thousands of families in this area.

She answered Chai Zheng's question and answered softly, "I can't."

"I did some calculations for Mr. He. He was born as a second-class Jinshi. He was promoted to the magistrate in his forties. He was corrupted with less than [-] taels of silver. Although he is not a good official, he is not a vicious official. Zhao Qian He must have secretly given him a secret order, asking him to find a way to frame my father, seize the food and grass ahead, and use Mr. He to cause a rift between the two parties."

He Gui is the support point in the overall situation. If he fails, everything will be lost, but what Zhao Qian is more worried about is not this failure.

As long as He Gui is still alive, those hands and feet he moves will be brought to the fore sooner or later.

Zhao Qian is still a "generous and benevolent" emperor now, not to mention that if the two people he calculated join hands, Zhao Qian's stable throne will tremble three times. In this case, how can He Gui live?

"Then what did you tell him just now?" Chai Zheng felt a little self-defeating.

Ruan Linshuang thought for a while, "I told him, go back and find a rope to kill yourself, move quickly, and arrange someone to spread the news in advance, otherwise the killers in Beijing will send out, and everyone in your family may not survive. "

Since Ruan Linshuang was reborn, she has been suppressing her heart. In front of Ruan Yuzhang, she can't be too indifferent, but she is free by Chai Zheng's side, and she doesn't need to show that she cares about life and death.

"There are at least ten people in Mr. He's house?" Chai Zheng pinched her fingers to calculate, and she suddenly smiled, "So, Xiao Ruan, you saved more than ten lives... If I were Mr. He , I knelt down and called you a living Bodhisattva."

"..." Ruan Linshuang was stunned.

She just wanted to persuade He Gui to die early, but when she got to Chai Zheng, she made a sudden turn, and suddenly she became the image of helping the world and saving people.

"Xiao Ruan, can I hug you?" Chai Zheng's palms were sweating, and his voice was soaked in the rain, "I always feel that even if you do it all over again, even if Master Ruan is still by your side, you are still not doing well. .”

Chai Zheng can only see Ruan Linshuang's shoulders now, this is the disadvantage of sitting forward and backward, even if Ruan Linshuang reacts, as long as it doesn't show on the body, Chai Zheng won't be able to see it.

The horse carrying them was still slowly moving forward. The tall horse was riding like a lame donkey, slow, bumping and lame.

Ruan Linshuang's all-time support of "Don't Enter the Stranger" shattered in an instant.

The rain suddenly turned heavy, and the horse was so drenched that it couldn't find the north, and it went straight to the eaves of the house. It put its head in and its buttocks were still outside, which caused the umbrella in Ruan Linshuang's hand to shake. It is dry eaves.

Chai Zheng's back was already wet, but she still didn't move, and she was not in a hurry to hide from the rain, but was waiting for Ruan Linshuang's response.

Time seemed to have passed only for a moment, or maybe several years, Ruan Linshuang finally came back to her senses, her face was pressed against Chai Zheng's neck, her shoulders twitched.

Chai Zheng thought she was crying, but later found out that Ruan Linshuang was laughing, a little out of breath, and hit Chai Zheng's collarbone with his head.

Ruan Linshuang has always been a restrained person with both emotions and anger, and it was the first time Chai Zheng saw such a muffled laughing scene, and she was a little scared out of her body.

She frantically touched Ruan Linshuang's body temperature, and then checked whether her head was injured... After confirming that it was normal, she hugged her in a vain manner, and asked aggrievedly, "What did I say wrong, you laugh like this? "

"It's nothing." Ruan Linshuang laughed and burst into tears, "I just think it's great to meet you again now."

Just when she was about to fail, Chai Zheng brandished a torch and blew up all the graves in her heart, leaving no bones or shells, leaving only an open space, waiting for Ruan Linshuang to cultivate again.

Her heart suddenly became empty, and there was nothing left of the past, Ruan Linshuang breathed a sigh of relief, even her breathing became smoother, that's why she smiled.

But she is wicked and doesn't want Chai Zheng to know that she likes Chai Zheng's uneasiness.

After the Awakening of Insects, the rain always came in bursts, and it stopped after a while.

As Chai Zheng reined in the reins, the horse probably wanted to go back to his warm and dry home, so he speeded up and arrived at the Governor's Mansion before dawn.

Ruan Linshuang had already fallen asleep next to Chai Zheng. Although she was two years older than Chai Zheng, the girl's frame was small and light. In addition, Chai Zheng was a martial artist, so she carried her lightly.

The butler stood with his hands down, didn't say anything, just pointed inward, indicating that the room inside Chai Zheng belonged to the young lady.

Although the weather has begun to warm up, it is still uncomfortable to have wet clothes sticking to the body after being drenched in the rain. The housekeeper arranged for someone to boil hot water and light a charcoal basin, so that the two little girls went to bed warmly.

It was not a coincidence that Chai Zheng came, the other rooms in the house were not cleaned up, and it was not suitable for sleeping with Ruan Yuzhang, so they got together, and the two girls rolled into the same bed.

Chai Zheng carefully distanced herself, not even daring to touch Ruan Linshuang. The bed was big enough and young enough, so there could be another row of books and a few bowls of water in the middle.

She had never slept so well in her life.

"Chai Zheng," Ruan Linshuang faced her with closed eyes, and suddenly said, "I didn't have a chance to ask you carefully before, are you willing to rebel with me?"

Chai Zheng's heart trembled, but there was no sound.

She came back this time for the purpose of rebellion, no matter what happens, Zhao Qian must die.

It's just that Chai Zheng hasn't laid out a specific plan yet... Rebellion is a major event after all, money, food, military power and power are all necessary, and it must be famous, and it must be done when Zhao Qian is at the end of his life and gradually losing his support.

At this time, Dajing was still in its prime, with strong troops and horses, and Zhao Qian did not have too many virtues, and sometimes he could be called a "Ming Jun".

At this time, if you pull up the flag and say you want to rebel, Chai Yuandao will definitely be the first to rush out and push Chai Zheng back to her mother's womb.

But these are not the reasons for Chai Zheng's silence.

She felt that when Ruan Linshuang asked this question, there was too much promise, as if she agreed, it was a matter of a lifetime, and Chai Zheng was a little dazed by her question.

When Chai Zheng is in a trance, he tends to speak indiscriminately.

She asked: "After the rebellion, who will be the emperor?"

Chai Zheng's logic is completely dead, and Ruan Linshuang needs to deal with the whirling thinking.

Ruan Linshuang replied, "I will."

Chai Zheng just swept away those anxious emotions, her eyes glowed, and she said in a low voice, "You still know this?!"

"Actually, it's not difficult." Ruan Linshuang was probably a little bit proud because of the influence of his ten-year-old body and his uncontrollable child's temperament, "Back then, the country was divided into north and south, and my half was much more prosperous than Zhao Qian's. "

The topic was like a wild horse running wild like this, running wildly with its feet running wildly, and even Ruan Linshuang let go of it, and it was basically impossible to pull it back.

Ruan Linshuang didn't know when she fell asleep. It seemed that she slowly lost consciousness when she said that "internal turmoil is growing, and foreign troubles are disturbing. There is no place in the world or in the four seas." .

When she regained consciousness, the rain clouds that had been suppressing her for nearly half a month had dispersed, the window was open, the sun was shining on a corner of the desk, and the other side of the quilt was still warm, but Chai Zheng was not there.

Ruan Linshuang was a little dazed, and then realized that there was a lot of commotion in her yard, and the voice was tumbling into her ears, as if she had raised seven or eight hundred ducks.

The Governor’s Mansion was left over from the previous dynasty. After repairs over and over again, the repairs became bigger and bigger. It is not a problem to park some food and grass in the yard, and then stand some soldiers ready to go. The problem is that Qin Zhen is holding Ruan Yuzhang’s calf and screaming, "My lord! , Lord Ruan, please think of a way, I beg you to think of a way, these grains are not enough!"

This year, before the state capital collected taxes from the counties, the grain in these trucks was old grain from Suzhou Prefecture, not much. Although it could solve the urgent need, it is impossible to stop the battle just now. After half a month, people will still follow. The horses don't even have to eat.

Ruan Linshuang rubbed his eyes and opened the door, only to see Chai Zheng in red squatting on the roof to catch sparrows.

She stepped on the bricks and tiles with her toes, and there was no sound at all. The sparrow didn't sense the threat, and was about to take off with its rain-wet wings fluttering, when someone slapped the small palm maliciously on its back, and its whole body sank. , frightened quickly flutter edge.

Chai Zheng chased after the sparrow along the ridge of the roof. The clever bird was always within the range of her palm, but Chai Zheng didn't want to catch it. The sun was shrouded in gauze, just behind Chai Zheng, causing everyone to squint their eyes when they looked at her.

Ruan Linshuang smiled lightly, but didn't care about the people who put up the roof tiles. It's been a long time since the Governor's Mansion has been so lively. When there are not many people, the yard is always lifeless, and the damp and musty smell accumulate even if it doesn't rain. .

She went straight to Qin Zhen's side, and stretched out her hand to help the majestic eight-foot general from the ground, "Taxes will be collected at the end of this month. When the time comes, the money and grain will be collected and distributed to the general. If the general is worried, you can do it at that time." Check it out yourself."

Qin Zhen still dared to be ashamed in front of Ruan Yuzhang, but when he saw Ruan Linshuang, he became embarrassed, his long hands and feet were knotted, and he stood up straight with a "huh", afraid that the dust he fanned would get on the little girl, and he stepped back in embarrassment After a few steps, he hit the railing before stopping.

He said, "Thanks to Ms. Ruan's help for what happened last night, we are all rough people, but I can also see that if it weren't for Ms. Ruan's words, we might all lose our lives." He cupped his hands as he spoke. , "Since the savior spoke, I will first transport this batch of grain and grass to the station, and then I will ask Mr. Ruan and Miss Ruan to take care of me."

There was a kind of simplicity and sincerity in Qin Zhen's body. He knew that Ruan Linshuang was only a ten-year-old girl, but he didn't look down on her in the slightest.

Ruan Yuzhang's clothes were all crumpled by Qin Zhen, and now he was dusting himself off with a wry smile, "As a father, I might as well have less face than my daughter."

"Your Majesty Ruan is approachable and approachable. You are a second-rank official in the current dynasty. I am just a small food security officer. This is the reason why I dare to talk to you like this." Qin Zhen must have studied for a few years. Yes, it's not just a rough person, he said again, "It's just that we are going to leave, and General Zhao will also leave together. What if someone troubles the Governor's Mansion again?"

"They probably don't have the time." Ruan Linshuang looked at the door, "And this time I will go to the station with you, it's enough to leave my father alone at home."

Before Ruan Yuzhang and Qin Zhen had any reaction, a scout who went out to find out the news ran in at the door. The scout was well-trained. He took a look in the crowd, but couldn't find Zhao Linlang, so he went straight to Ruan Yuzhang, "He Gui is dead, Hanged himself."
