The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

pain……

It was as if the bones had been smashed and forced to put them back together piece by piece.

Bai Yan's hair was wet with sweat, and he groaned unconsciously. It was as if a needle had been pricked in the crevice of his bones, and he poked out the skin and flesh carefully, making his heart and lungs tremble continuously.

Xiao Jiuqin's heart ached so much that he clenched Bai Yan's nails on the palm of his hand, and blood beads smeared the palm of his hand, but he didn't seem to know the pain at all...

Bai Yan was in a coma for four full hours and did not wake up. During this period, Xiao Jiuqin did not leave for a moment. When He Zhaoyuan came to find him, the two of them were still holding hands tightly.

"Your Majesty." He Zhaoyuan was frosty, "The embankment has already been reinforced, and the rice grains have been distributed one by one. Now we just need to deliver the decree to His Majesty."

Xiao Jiuqin let go of Bai Yan's hand, and tucked the blanket for him, "Go out and talk."

The two stood outside, Ye Fei was blown by the wind, He Zhaoyuan spoke first, "I specially asked an official from the Ministry of Industry to check carefully, the dam was man-made damage."

"What did you use to destroy it?"

"Insufficient volleys, mixed with some flammable materials, although the effect has been weakened, but the part that is used to explode has been in disrepair for a long time, especially the explosion sound is weakened. As long as it rains heavily, it is generally not audible."

Xiao Jiuqin looked to the east, "Have the people from Xiaoyang Mansion withdrawn?"

He Zhaoyuan shook his head, "Not yet."

He looked at Xiao Jiuqin's expression, "It is said that Fang Yue committed suicide by biting his tongue not long ago, and now that Zeng Tongzhi is already preparing to play a book."

"Fang Yue committed suicide by biting his tongue?" Xiao Jiuqin snorted coldly, "Things who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if they have a chance to live, they are willing to confess to everything. It is just Zeng Xuan who deceived the world."

"Then what should we do now?" He Zhaoyuan followed Xiao Jiuqin out of selfishness. He saw that the two of them, who were in conflict in Yingdu, were now lethargic and affectionate, and the fire of gossip was burning in his heart.

Xiao Jiuqin looked back into the room, "What else can I do, stand still and wait for that Zeng Xuan to come to me."

He Zhaoyuan was puzzled, "Zeng Xuan is the co-prefect of Xiaoyang Mansion. He came here this time for rescue. Once the matter is over, he will send a memorial to His Majesty and he will be able to retire. If he came to look for Lord Hou, he must take some money from himself." Credit?"

"It's not entirely accurate to say that you are looking for me." Xiao Jiuqin was not very happy in his heart. He always felt that everything seemed to be in front of him, but in fact it was not clear, especially when Bai Yan was still in a coma.

"Are you looking for that Mr. Bai inside?" He Zhaoyuan couldn't help but change his mind about Bai Yan because of his curiosity. After all, such a frail Confucian scholar actually saved his Lord Marquis at a critical moment.

This behavior alone has already made He Zhaoyuan admire him.

"Don't you have anything else to do?" Xiao Jiuqin didn't understand when he saw He Zhaoyuan's expression.

"It's okay, okay." He Zhaoyuan was determined to inquire about some news. Xiao Jiuqin kicked him on the hind leg, and He Zhaoyuan almost fell down. , then the subordinate will retreat first.”

He Zhaoyuan left in despair.

Xiao Jiuqin ordered people to cook the porridge, while he carefully wiped Bai Yan's lips with a wet cloth towel, his hands were so weak that the maid even gave him an extra look when she came in.

"Master Hou, the doctor specifically told you to change the medicine for your lord every three hours."

"Leave the medicine, you go out." Xiao Jiuqin sent someone away.

The Fang Mansion was burnt down, and Xiao Jiuqin temporarily rented a house with ready-made servants, quick hands and feet, and didn't talk too much.But Xiao Jiuqin still couldn't trust others, whether it was changing medicine or feeding water, he did everything he could.

The comatose Bai Yan seemed to have restrained his sharpness, and it didn't hurt his hands anymore. Xiao Jiuqin touched his lips with his fingertips, and his eyes were slightly warm.

This person hasn't really changed much.

In the past, the two had known each other for only three months, and Xiao Jiuqin became Bai Yan's follower, a little bastard who was unwilling to listen to him, but when he saw Bai Yan going to the husband's house every day, he was embarrassed and farted. Dianpidian followed.

The one who taught Bai Yan was an old Juren. Although he had no fame, he was knowledgeable and arrogant. He did not treat Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin differently because of their identities.

When Bai Yan was in the future, Xiao Jiuqin always tried his best not to go to school, Pingjin Hou beat him up several times, but the five-year-old bastard was really difficult to discipline, beating and scolding didn't help, on the contrary When Bai Yan came, he seemed to be a different person.

There was a conflict between the two that day, Xiao Jiuqin vowed at first that he would break off friendship with Bai Yan and would not go to study, but before half a day passed, he bit the bullet and went to the husband's house.

When Bai Yan saw it, he sneered, "Aren't you unwilling to listen?"

Xiao Jiuqin raised his head and choked on purpose, "I'm not here to listen, but the peaches at Mr.'s house are ripe, so I'll pick a few and give them to my mother."

"If you don't ask yourself, it's stealing, and the peaches are obviously not ripe yet. Why do you pick them? It's a waste of them."

Bai Yan was holding a book in his hand, and there were a lot of truths in it, Xiao Jiuqin didn't understand any of them, nor did he want to understand them at all.In his opinion, reading books is all deceitful, and any "whatever you want to know" is very meaningless, and it is not as real as practicing swords and boxing!

The peach in Xiao Jiuqin's hand was still blue, he didn't care if he lost it or held it, Bai Yan squinted his eyes, "If you pick it up, then eat it, lest you will be punished by Mr. I won't help you then."

"You said you can't eat it..." Xiao Jiuqin felt aggrieved, and Bai Yan was very polite to others. Although he didn't always smile, he still wouldn't always mock him.

Why did you do this to me?

Xiao Jiuqin had a bitter face, but Bai Yan only felt it was funny, he glanced to the side, and suddenly said, "Mr. is here!"

Xiao Jiuqin froze, immediately stuffed the peach in his hand into Bai Yan's arms and ran away.

Bai Yan was left speechless.

A few years have passed, both of them have grown a bit like a strip, and the clothes made by the embroiderer have shortened after wearing them for a long time. Seeing the childishness between the two brows fade away, Pingjinhou took the two boys to the cloud to comment on poetry. meeting.

Yun Ping Poetry Club is a well-known scenic spot initiated by the children of the aristocratic family and includes talents from all over the world.It is held every four years, regardless of people's background, as long as they are talented, they can enter.Occasionally, clan members come here to recruit talents, and those who are talented and lucky will be able to enter the mansion.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was promoted straight to the top. Today's Grand Master is the leader of the Yun Ping Poetry Association decades ago. Once he was in the eyes of the emperor, his official career has been prosperous since then.

There are many people in the world who are chasing fame and fortune for the sake of Hengda. Marquis Pingjin only brought his two children to see the world at first, but he never expected that Bai Yan would show a rare talent at such a young age.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, a group of literati who were ready to go out tried to make a splash, but Bai Yan's "Ode to the Prosperous Age" shocked the audience.

Once Bai Yan became famous, the threshold of the Marquis of Pingjin's mansion was almost broken down. Even the current Taifu asked the Marquis of Pingjin about Bai Yan, but he calmly and perfunctorily.

Too much sharpness will eventually hurt others and yourself, and when Bai Yan understood this truth, Xiao Jiuqin and others were already fighting.

"Xiao Jiuqin!" Bai Yan was afraid that if he couldn't stop this person, those people would be beaten to death by him.

"A group of dogs can't spit out ivory, and they don't know anything, so they are jealous of you and spread messy news everywhere. Do you want your reputation?!"

Xiao Jiuqin was still angry after hitting him, but Bai Yan couldn't help but feel happy.

There is such a person who always protects him, regardless of the reason, just caring about him, I have to say, my heart softens.

"Okay, your own fist is injured, if you continue to fight, you will hurt the enemy one thousand and you will lose eight hundred. I don't care, let them talk, anyway, they can't talk about it in front of me, as long as I ignore it, after a long time they It's meaningless."

Bai Yan was very calm in his heart, Ying Du was mostly a filthy villain who hated other people's goodness, and once he got on it, he would be a tarsal maggot.Xiao Jiuqin was annoyed this time because of Bai Yan's limelight at the Yun Ping Poetry Conference, and those literati compiled a lot of acid poems to satirize Bai Yan.

If it's just a few sour words, it's all right, and they say that Bai Yan has climbed up to a high-ranking official, and with that face, he is in the limelight.

Xiao Jiuqin couldn't hold back his breath, and stopped those people from beating him wildly. Although Xiao Jiuqin had restrained himself and put in all his strength, Xiao Jiuqin had practiced in the military camp for many years. Howled on the ground.

"It's okay to use literati's methods to fight against others if you don't have the ability, but they said behind their backs, and bought random fabrications of storytellers. Isn't this pouring sewage on you!"

Xiao Jiuqin thinks long-term, "You only know how to read every day, and you will also evaluate the character of candidates during the scientific examination. If you are discredited by them, it may affect your future in the future scientific examination. The thing that deserves to be inferior to you!"

Bai Yan knew that Xiao Jiuqin was angry, so he didn't disobey him. In essence, Xiao Jiuqin was all for him. If he had any opinions, he would be ignorant and waste Xiao Jiuqin's friendship. .

His eyes moved, and suddenly he saw a peach tree with luxuriant branches not far away.

Xiao Jiuqin saw Bai Yan walking over there, he called out, but Bai Yan didn't look back until he saw him picking a half-green peach and handing it to him.

"Will you give me the unripe green peach?" Xiao Jiuqin was not very happy.

"I've been picking for a long time..." Bai Yan said intentionally.

Xiao Jiuqin still pursed his lips on purpose, "Why didn't anyone pick the peaches on the side of the road? Isn't it just so sour, you picked him and gave it to me..."

Bai Yan still didn't have a big reaction, he just asked, "Then what do you want?"

"Yes, why don't you, I want everything you give me!" Xiao Jiuqin snatched it away, wiped it on his sleeve casually a few times, and bit it hard.

His handsome face was blue and purple, which complemented the green peach, Bai Yan suddenly softened his heart, and lightly touched Xiao Jiuqin's cheek, "Don't get angry with irrelevant people in the future, it's not worth it. "

"But they said bad things about you..." Xiao Jiuqin was still annoyed.

"Just say it, I am such a person, I am not what they say I am, I don't care what other people say, as long as you don't think I am a villain, it is enough..."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he pinched Xiao Jiuqin's cheek again, "I don't feel well when you are hurt, should I fight them back too?"

"How can you do it, just listen to you, if you don't do it, don't do it, the big deal..." Afterwards, they secretly found someone to beat them.

Xiao Jiuqin silently added a sentence.

You see, I listen to you.

The words and deeds of the two of them in the past are still the same as yesterday, Xiao Jiuqin rubbed Bai Yan's lips, and asked softly, "Bo Yan, why are you still awake?"
