Opposite the entrance hall

The hall was brightly lit, and the shadow of the beating candle wick hit the wall, reflecting that if there was any scene in the room, this dagger was nothing but ordinary, but because it was infused with Guo Jingyi's internal force, it became very fast and violent, breaking through the resistance directly. He stabbed at Ji Si.

The latter's expression did not change, he still sat upright in his seat, seeing the dagger approaching, but his pupils did not change at all, his calmness was scary.

It was too late and then quickly, a wine glass flew out halfway from the side, and it was thrown on the handle forcefully, forcing the dagger to change its course, and it was inserted into the pillar with a slamming sound. One of the officials screamed, obviously frightened.

Guo Jingyi raised his eyes to look at Pei Zhan, who was missing a wine glass on the table, his face showed no joy or anger, but his eyes did not look at Ji Sishi's disdain and sarcasm, but a little more sincerity.

He clasped his fists and nodded, "Father Tiger has no sons, General Pei is no better than Old General Pei."

"General Guo is overrated," Pei Zhan also clasped his fists in return, "When my father was still alive, he praised General Guo as a general, and he was a genius in training soldiers. More than once, I asked you, General Guo, for advice. Compared to Qi Xiu, who is only playing big swords in front of Guan Gong's gate, he is a bit overconfident."

"When I was the same age as General Pei, I was only a lieutenant general. If I really want to talk about it in detail, I'm not as good as General Pei."

"It's a joke if you and I continue to brag," Pei Zhan smiled, and winked at Wang Yangchun while talking, "Why don't you sit down and have a drink or two, and then chat slowly."

"That's right, it's the first time for General Guo to have wine with us, and it's really thanks to Ji Shilang and General Pei's blessing," Wang Yangchun, an elite official, is most proficient in talking to people and talking nonsense. , took Pei Zhan's words very naturally, and sternly ordered to the person in charge of the restaurant: "Why are you still standing in a daze, you don't have any eyesight, why don't you hurry up and arrange a place for General Guo, and neglect General Guo, I'm afraid you Liufangzhai don't want it anymore!"

"Don't dare, I'll make arrangements for you, my little one."

The two of them sang and harmonized, but in Guo Jingyi's eyes, they were only acting on the spot. He waved his hand coldly, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Don't bother Mr. Wang, I just came here to show my face, so that no one who cares will be there Read my book in front of the imperial court, saying that I have no eyes on the emperor, and you also know that we martial arts practitioners are not as eloquent as your civil servants, if the emperor blames me, I will not be able to explain it, and I will not be able to chop off a single head."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to his head, looking very distressed.

The speaker is interested, and the listener is also interested. Wang Yangchun still smiled and narrowed his eyes, his face full of flesh made him look a little more honest. Listening to these words that don't use deep meaning, he replied gently without even being annoyed, "Guo General, what did you say? You are a great hero in the hearts of the common people. It was echoed everywhere. Whoever dares to offend you, even we have to rely on General Guo to make a living. Whoever dares to commit crimes under your nose, then It’s not like asking for trouble, you have a military rank, if you really want to do something, who can be your opponent, don’t you think so.”

"Master Wang really can talk, but the way he talks reminds me of something..." Guo Jingyi frowned and meditated outside, then slapped his forehead and smiled after a while: "It's like the one I met when I was hunting in the mountains a few days ago. A boar!"

After finishing speaking, everyone in the hall didn't even dare to take a breath. Although Wang Yangchun was born with a fat head and big ears, he claimed to be a scholar, romantic and talented, and he hated others mentioning his appearance in front of him. Shut up, half of his life was knocked out by him, and now Guo Jingyi said it in front of all the Pingping officials, no doubt it was to slap Wang Yangchun's face in public. Drinking, in order to prevent being angered later.

Sure enough, Wang Yangchun's face froze, with a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes, and just about to open his mouth, Guo Jingyi added, "Don't think too much, Wang Yangchun, I didn't compare you to a wild boar, after all, that wild boar didn't You are white and fat, maybe you would be happy without you."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's faces became more colorful, and Pei Zhan couldn't help raising his lips. The others just raised the corners of their lips when Wang Yangchun was in the way, and then they thought something was wrong and hurriedly raised their lips. The corners of the lips were pressed back, forming an embarrassing look of wanting to smile or not, never expecting a sudden burst of laughter from the crowd, hearing the sound and looking around, I saw Ji Sixiao's eyebrows and eyes curved, and he raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes. With tears in his eyes, he nodded in agreement, "It's pretty similar, but the wild boar is a bit darker, and the domestic pig is more white and fat, which is more suitable. Mr. Wang, this shows that you are lucky!"

"I don't know where the wild boar that General Guo hunted is now? I really want to see it." Ji Si asked.

"Of course I ate it," Guo Jingyi stared straight at Wang Yangchun on the main seat, mocking every word, "Isn't this pig fattened for eating?"

The two said pig on the left and fat on the right, only burning with anger at what Wang Yangchun said, their faces darkened, but they knew that neither of them were offended by him, so they had to bite their back molars to suppress their hatred Then, he forced a smile, "General Guo likes to eat pork, so I'll ask someone to send some, it's a little kindness."

"That's a good thing." Guo Jingyi was not polite at all, "It happens that the soldiers in my camp haven't tasted meat for a long time, and the birds are about to fade out of their mouths, so I will thank Lord Wang for their generosity."

Wang Yangchun lost a lot of money for no reason, and naturally there was no joy on his face, but he laughed out of face, and the words came out of his mouth, with a bit of gnashing of teeth, "No thanks."

Guo Jingyi nodded, knowing that he would accept it when he saw it, and to save face, he waved his hand to call someone, "Bring a jug of wine!"

The steward of Liufangzhai looked at Wang Yangchun's face, and didn't dare to make any moves. After the latter nodded, he hurriedly took the altar of wine and the wine glass and handed them over, bowed and said, "General Guo, the wine is here." .”

He made a gesture to pour wine for someone, but Guo Jingyi turned sideways and snatched the wine jar, raised his chin with one hand, and said loudly, "The wine glass is too small to drink, this jar of wine is a toast to Mr. Wang , I also respect Ji Shilang and General Pei, I will do it first!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and opened his mouth, and the clear liquid in the wine jar flowed into his mouth, before he could swallow it, it slipped down his jaw, wet his neck and clothes, adding a bit of freedom and casualness.

"Good wine, hiccup..." Guo Jingyi hiccupped, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand casually, threw the empty wine jar into the arms of the steward, and took a few steps forward, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your hospitality. The wine has been eaten, the wind has been picked up, and there is still something to do in the camp, so I will not stay any longer, and I will come back tomorrow or the next day to discuss the food and grass with the two adults in detail, take my farewell, and don't give it away!"

He moved very fast, and he arrived at the door in the blink of an eye. He came suddenly and left inexplicably, leaving behind a room full of people with different expressions. Among them, Wang Yangchun was the most angry. Ji Si looked at him and was very worried about him. If he wanted to crush the white porcelain wine glass abruptly, he was afraid that he would hurt himself, but he drank a lot of wine and was afraid that he would get dizzy if he saw blood.

Fortunately, the banquet was mixed up by Guo Jingyi, so the banquet was dismissed early. Ji Si and Pei Zhan stayed in the other courtyard of Wang's family, and they were supposed to ride a carriage, driven by Pei Zhan's subordinates, and the wheels of the carriage drove out slowly , Ji Si opened the curtain and looked at the gradually shrinking figure behind him. After a while, he withdrew his hands and sat upright. When he turned around and saw Pei Zhan staring at him with special meaning, he felt confused, looked down and asked, "You look at me like this?" What are you doing with me?"

"I don't know why, but I think you're a bit weird." Pei Zhan looked at the car wall and folded his hands, staring at the person in front of him with a frown. You are a little different now."

"What's the difference?" Ji Si asked with a smile.

Speaking of the truth, Pei Zhan couldn't tell. He had no personal relationship with Ji Si in the past, and all the gossip he heard came from other people's mouths. These days, he just felt that this person was evil, and there was a certain idea in his heart. It became clearer that he didn't answer this question but asked something else, "Ji Si, I never knew where you fell in love with Ke Aheng? Family background? Talent? Or appearance? I have known him for many years, and he is This ghostly look is not the kind of temperament that knows the cold and warm, and is interesting, you are the servant of the household department, and you have a bright future, what kind of person do you want, why did you fall in love with Qi Ziheng?"

Ji Si didn't say much about his sudden change of subject, just stroked his chin and fell into deep thought, and replied in a flat tone: "If I say that I was destined to be with him in the previous life, would you believe me?"

"Believe it, how can you not believe it," Pei Zhan said eccentrically. Although he said this, his tone did not mean to believe at all, "You said that your fate with him is not over, and now I will believe it again!"

"When did you become so smart?" Ji Si clicked his tongue, "I am so impressed! We will find you to have fun tomorrow when we get married."

Pei Zhan glanced, put his hands across his chest, and said coldly: "If you say one more word, I will sew your mouth shut."

Ji Si rubbed his nose and restrained himself. He opened the curtain and looked at the dimly lit streets in Fanping, and said softly, "General Pei, to be honest, I admire you very much and respect you for being a man." , so no matter what your attitude towards me is, I don't care about it, because I know that you are senior brother Qi Ran, and what you do is for his own good. Dangerous place, no matter how much I say, you may think I'm just flattery, and I can't count at all..."

He stopped, turned around and stared at Pei Zhan, and then continued: "You may not believe it, but to me, he is more important than anything in the world. I would not be willing to suffer half a grievance from him even if I lost my life."

Hearing these thoughts, Pei Zhan's face was still complicated, not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but instead became more ugly, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to reply.

Seeing this, Ji Si stretched his waist and rubbed his sore neck, and diverted the topic elsewhere, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about this matter no matter how nice it is, why don't we talk about something else."

"What do you want to talk about?" Pei Zhan asked.

Ji Si pondered for a while, Pei Yao's shadow flashed in his mind, he cleared his throat and began to insinuate and ask: "I heard that after the death of General Pei, General Pei took over the Pei family, but the general has been outside the customs all year round, not only To guard the frontier, and to take care of the house, the young master and the young lady are young. General Pei must have suffered a lot to achieve his current achievements. This kind of courage and manly heart are rare, which is really admirable. "

"Ji Shilang is overrated, but I have been in the camp all year round. I can't go back to Beijing privately until I get a pass. I really don't have the energy to take care of everyone in Pei's house. It's Yao..." Pei Zhan raised his eyes and glanced at the person, then hurriedly changed his words, "My little sister is in charge of all affairs in the mansion. Thanks to her, I have saved a lot of worries. When I talk about it in detail, I owe her a lot."

As soon as Pei Yao was mentioned, Pei Zhan's eyes softened a little. It was not difficult to see how much he loved his younger sister. Ji thought about it and wanted to continue to lead the conversation here, "Second Miss Pei is quite famous in Lin'an City, although she is The body of a woman made many men feel ashamed of themselves, and even the crown prince praised Second Miss Pei more than once, saying that what she did was quite like her father's, with a face like a weak willow supporting the wind, and a heart like snow and frost. She is really a tiger girl, she is not at all different from secular women."

These words not only praised Pei Yao, but also praised the old general Pei by the way, Pei Zhan couldn't help but look at Ji Si more, as if he understood why this person climbed to this position, and he can win people with just a few words Full of joy, but also very human, able to bend and stretch, knowledgeable and interesting, but somewhat capable.

Ji Si didn't know what Pei Zhan was thinking, so he continued to throw out his words calmly, pretending to ask casually: "Second Miss Pei is such a rare woman in the world, most of the suitors will soon break through Pei's mansion. It's a threshold, but I don't know if Second Miss Pei has a marriage? Has she agreed to it?"

Having said that, Pei Zhan felt that something was wrong. He frowned and stared at Ji Si. After a while, his expression changed suddenly. With a gloomy face, he roared angrily, "Ji Si, don't plan on my sister! You are a shameless man and woman."

"Ah?" Ji Si was suddenly baffled by this sentence, pointed at himself and asked in bewilderment, "When did I plan on your sister?"

"If you didn't have her idea, why did you mention her suddenly? And why do you care about whether she is married? Did you agree?" Pei Zhan's anger still burned directly into his pupils, as if only Ji Si Nodding in acknowledgment will make him look good.

Ji Si really couldn't argue at the moment, he originally wanted to tell Prince Pei Zhan that he had a crush on Pei Yao and intended to accept her as his concubine, but this idiot suddenly understood that he was interested in Pei Yao, let's not say that he was interested in Pei Yao. There is only Qi Ran in body and mind, and there is absolutely no room for other people in such a big place; it is true that he and Pei Yao only met a few times, let alone said a few words. Can't give birth to that thought.

But this matter can't be said directly from his mouth, one is because the whole of Lin'an knows that he is the prince's person, if he hastily revealed the prince's plan, Pei Zhan probably won't believe it, after all he doesn't know like Qi Ran The cause and effect, his own one-sided words, and where did he believe it; even if he believed it, he would inevitably ask how did he know it?Why help him?What is the intention?If it reached Li Hongyang's ears again, at least one layer of skin would have to be scraped off.

Therefore, this matter has to be said, but it cannot be said by oneself, but the difficulty lies in this, Ji Sichang sighed, a little tired and said: "I would rather I really want to get Miss Pei Er's idea, I am too tired , I don’t want to work hard anymore, and being a son-in-law now seems to be very good.”

Pei Zhan: "..."

The sound of the wheels outside the car was going fast, and the gravel that rolled over the ground made a slight cracking sound, and it drove slowly towards the corner. No one noticed a figure hidden in the dark alleyway, and the figure stared at the gradually driving After looking at the carriage in the distance for a long time, until the trace of the carriage disappeared from sight, he turned and left, and melted into the night in the blink of an eye.

All kinds of yelling came from the slate streets, and the voices were full of people, so it was very lively.

When the wind picked up, a piece of cloud in the distance was blown over. The thick cloud layer covered the bright moon, and the sky and the earth seemed to be darkened suddenly. When the day changed, the sun and the moon alternated, and the cloud layer drifted away again, the sun broke through the cloud and came out. Dazzling light enveloped the earth, and everything under the light presented a scene full of vitality.

When the sun climbed into the sky, there was no cloud in the surrounding area, and a layer of hot air was evaporated from the ground, which sprayed on people's bodies and forced them to sweat.

Yan Yi stared at the exposure and came in from the outside. He saw Wan Yuyi, the oldest doctor in the imperial hospital, packing up the medicine box in a hurry. There was a little maid standing beside her, also looking anxious, walking back and forth around the people, mouthing Zhong kept urging, "Doctor Wan, please hurry up, my mother is in pain, I can't afford to delay."

"Miss Ningxiang, don't rush me, my old bones are about to be torn apart by you, Madam Shu is an old problem, and it will be cured after taking medicine."

Hearing this, Yan Yiduo glanced at the court lady twice, squinted his eyes, then walked up to hear the sound and asked: "What happened, Mr. Wan is so anxious?"

Hearing the sound, the two people who were tugging turned around, Ningxiang saw the person behind him, although he didn't know his identity, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your servant has seen you."

Seeing that it was Yan Yi, Imperial Doctor Wan sighed and said, "Ms. Concubine Shu's arthralgia syndrome has occurred again. I'm going to have a look."

"Barth syndrome?" Yan Yi repeated it over and over again, twirling his beard and said, "This kind of arthritic syndrome is indeed troublesome. It is recorded in medical books that to treat wind, first treat blood, and the blood will go away when the wind goes away. The blood needs to strengthen the kidneys, but this disease is torture. People are tight."

"I didn't know that Mr. Yan also knew about Bi syndrome."

"The more you see it, the better you understand it," Yan Yi smiled, "Speaking of which, there is still some distance between the imperial hospital and the concubine Shu's palace, and the sun is scorching right now, so I can't wait to tan off a few layers of skin , Mr. Wan is inconvenient to walk, and I happen to know a little about this arthralgia syndrome, why don't I run for you."

"This..." Ning Xiang was about to speak when someone snatched her away.

"Then please trouble Master Yan to make this trip." Imperial Doctor Wan handed over the medicine box, "Here are the medicines that Concubine Shu often takes to nourish the blood and relieve the pain. After you have a look at it, let it go." She just swallowed it."

After all, he explained to Ning Xiang who was extremely worried: "This imperial doctor Yan is a well-known miracle doctor. It is much more useful to ask him to visit the concubine Shu on behalf of the old man than to go there for nothing. Maybe it can really cure Concubine Shu's old illness."

Ning Xiang hesitated for a long time, she bit her lips and nodded in response, and blessed her body, "Then I will bother you, my mother is in pain, I have to ask you to go with the slaves, just move faster. "

"It's your duty, please lead the way."

Yan Yi picked up the medicine box and followed the man very quickly, and he arrived at the Dongyuan Hall in a short time. The maid led him into the concubine's room, although there was a silk cloth door embroidered with eagles spreading their wings The screen, but still can hear the low panting sound coming from behind the screen, it was the voice squeezed out of the throat after the extreme pain, and asked hoarsely: "Ning Xiang, is the Wan Tai doctor here?"

"Your Majesty, it's not Wan Taiyi who came here, but an adult from the Tai Hospital who has a good understanding of Arthralgia Syndrome, so he asked him to take a look at it for Your Majesty."

The silk cloth is extremely thin, vaguely revealing the figure behind,

Yan Yi's heart sank when he heard this voice, he quickly suppressed the emotions in his eyes, put the medicine box on the table, slowly took out the pulse diagnosis and the gold thread from it, handed it to Ningxiang who was beside him, and said softly: "Young lady, take this gold thread Tie it to the pulse point of Empress Shu's wrist, and then place it on the pulse pillow steadily."

"The servant knows."

After saying that, he went around the screen and walked in, and then there were a few whispers from inside, and after a while, Ning Xiang pulled out the gold thread and handed it to Yan Yi gently.

The latter took it and thanked her with a nod, held his breath and began to feel his pulse. The room suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of concubine Shu's inhalation after she couldn't bear the pain from time to time. After a while, Yan Yi spoke slowly, " Your Majesty's illness has been going on for some years, it's caused by excessive use of the five internal organs, imbalance of qi and blood, coagulation of dampness and turbidity, long-term stagnation of heat, and flow into the joints, it seems to be the root cause of the disease left by pregnancy..."

But before the words were finished, a voice came from behind the screen, "When did you people from the Tai Hospital take over the work of this internal waiter? You have to ask why?"

"I'm talking too much, and I hope my mother will calm down." Yan Yi hurriedly got up and bowed to apologize, his words were full of regret, "When I came, the imperial doctor Wan had entrusted me with the medicine that my mother usually takes, please use it."

As soon as the words fell, Ning Xiang stepped forward to take the pill from Yan Yi's hand, but after walking a few steps, Concubine Shu suddenly said, "Then I will have the trouble to bring the medicine to Imperial Physician Yan."

Although the maids and eunuchs of the Dongguan Palace were puzzled, they just lowered their eyes and remained silent.

And Yan Yi responded softly, then held the box containing the pills in his hands, bowed his head and walked around the screen, without raising his eyes, he could feel a gaze in front of him kept falling on his head, every time He walked very slowly, and stopped until he saw the edge of the bed, and said in a soft voice: "Although this medicine can relieve pain, it is not easy to take it regularly. The empress should pay more attention, the body is always your own, and the most important thing is to cultivate yourself." appropriate."

"I've made a note," Concubine Shu covered her lips and coughed twice, staring at the man in front of her for a long time before asking, "Look at Imperial Physician Yan, who doesn't look like a Lin'an person, and now I don't know why he left his hometown to become an official Still used to it?"

"I'm alone, wandering around, taking the sky as my home, and I'm not used to it. I'm just a grassroots person. I was lucky to be appreciated by the emperor to get an official position. After all, it's a blessing for me. .”

"Is there no one in Doctor Yan's house?"

"There is also a younger sister," Yan Yi raised his eyes abruptly, staring straight into Concubine Shu's eyes, the expression on his face became extraordinarily complicated, and his words were full of sadness, "I don't know where she is, how is she doing? Have you been bullied?"

Concubine Shu's pupils shrunk slightly, her eyes revealed all sorts of emotions, her teeth bit her lips, her complexion was as pale as paper, she clutched the edge of the bed tightly and swayed, her mind was blank, she was in a mess, her lips almost moved That sentence spit out from his mouth, and he hastily pursed his lips and blushed his eyes.

"Your Majesty," Yan Yi put the box by Concubine Shu's hand, took a step back and said at a distance, "This medicine is a bit bitter, Your Majesty can add some candied fruit. If you can find a prescription, please don't worry about it."

"There is Lao Yan, the imperial physician."

"Your Majesty, take care of yourself, and I will leave first." Yan Yi bowed again.

"Ningxiang, send Imperial Physician Yan off."

"Yes."

Concubine Shu's eyes kept on Yan Yi's body until he crossed the screen and came out of the room before she looked back at the box at her hand. She opened the box with trembling hands. In addition to some pills, there was also a butterfly made of straw inside. It's very delicate and lifelike.

After seeing the butterfly clearly, Concubine Shu couldn't bear it any longer, and hurriedly covered her lips tightly to hide her crying, but tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her eyes.

At this time, Yan Yi, who walked out of the Dongguan Palace, seemed to have a feeling. He stopped, looked sideways at the deep and heavy palace behind him, and murmured: "Ning'er, I will get back what others owe us one by one. Let them pay you back for all the grievances you have suffered over the years!"

The branches and leaves on the tree were rustled by the blowing, and even the voice of words was melted into the wind. The branches and leaves swayed, the shadows of the trees whirled, and the dark green leaves on the branches fluttered down, leaving traces after being trampled by shoes.

Qi Ran crossed the fallen leaves, walked into the restaurant, declined the waiter who came up to greet him, went up to the second floor and opened the box, and there was a person sitting inside who was making tea, it was Du Cunxiao from Yushitai.

The people in the room raised their eyes when they heard the movement, glanced at it hastily, then lowered their heads and continued to stir the tea leaves in the small pot of boiling water, their sleeves were rolled up to their wrists, and their movements were smooth and smooth, which was quite pleasing to the eye, and they greeted casually : "It's just in time. This year's tea, Yang Yunchuan left a portion for me. The Prime Minister may have tasted it a long time ago, but my method of cooking tea is a little different. It will be interesting for you to taste it later."

As soon as he was seated, the person across from him used tweezers to hold a cup half full of tea and placed it firmly in front of him, making a gesture of invitation.

The tea water was clear, without any tea foam sinking to the bottom, and the overall color was light yellow. Qi Ran picked it up and placed it in front of his nose to sniff. It still had the astringent taste of the new tea that I did not know spring, but after he took a sip, he suddenly felt it. Different, I don't know spring's tea is as fragrant as old tea, but there is always a slight astringent taste, and the taste is the sweetness, but the astringency of Du Heng's tea does not leave a full mouthful of fragrance, it is really unique.

"How?" Du Heng asked, "Do you still agree?"

"It's not bad." Qi Ran drank the rest of the cup, and then put down the teacup to talk about important matters, "You came here to ask me to drink tea with you, right?"

"Half and half." Du Heng continued to pour tea for others, handed over the cup and said again: "A few days before Ji Shilang left Beijing, the yamen of the household department had water, have you heard of it?"

"Why did you mention it so suddenly? But what's wrong?"

"Brother Qi, I am afraid that your relationship with Ji Shilang is closer than I am with him. The Xiangzhou party is also thanks to you two to save my life. I should regard you two as close friends. What are you two?" Although I have inquired about the relationship, but my heart is clear, so I thought about it and it is most appropriate to tell you," Du Heng said slowly: "When Ji Shilang left Beijing, he asked me to do something for him, let me go Check Qu Ding, the account books of the Ministry of Households were burnt, which is also an opportunity. It is most appropriate for Yushitai to supervise the officials. This matter is far more complicated than it seems. I don’t know who to send Going forward, I took the booklet and recommended myself and planned to take this trip.”

"Are you going to Quding?" Qi Ran was a little surprised.

"Well," Du Heng nodded, "After checking some things for Ji Shilang, I can see the complexity here. Whether it is Kong Lingqiu, Xiqiang, or Quding, it seems that there is a thread in the dark. Unrelated people, things, and things are tied together. I have deduced it with Ji Shilang several times, but I still can't figure out the way. There must be some details that we have overlooked. Maybe go there Qu Ding can solve these mysteries."

Qi Ran lowered his eyes and remained silent, just sipping his tea in small sips, and when the cup of tea was finished, he raised his eyelids and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"It only happened in the past three or five days, but Jingzhong still hopes that Brother Qi will be more careful. Now that there are many forces fighting, the enemy country is eyeing, and the emperor's dragon is not in good health. It is a time of trouble. I am most afraid that someone will fish in troubled waters and deliberately provoke troubles. If this is the case If there is chaos, I am afraid that something serious will happen, and it will be innocent people who will suffer." Du Heng sighed a long time.

His intention in saying this is to firmly believe that Qi Ran has the ability to rule the country by force, and as long as there is Qi Ran in Lin'an, there will be no chaos. : "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

Du Heng's face changed suddenly. He never expected this answer, and asked in puzzlement, "Why did you say that?"

"Because," Qi Ran's eyes were sharp, he looked at the opposite person with a calm face, kissed his thin lips, and said slowly: "I plan to go to Quding with you."

Hearing this, Du Heng pursed his lips, his expression became complicated.

A few tea stalks floated in the teapot on the table, lying on the calm water surface, a bubble rose from the bottom, slowly emerged on the surface of the water, making a snoring sound, and then the bubble burst, disturbing the tranquility of the water surface, Ripples appeared, and the tea stalk swirled, and was finally submerged by the tea, slowly sank until it could no longer float up.

Suddenly, the tea was poured out, splashing the ground, and the quilt containing the tea was also shattered on the ground. Some of the hot tea even wet the hem and the upper of the clothes made of fine cloth. He straightened his back, tied a gun on his back, stood there with red eyes, but bit his lower lip so hard that it turned white, not letting a tear fall, but his eyes widened, with a stubborn and tough expression. appearance.

"Nonsense!" Yan Shizheng patted the table vigorously. He really had nothing to do with his son. He used to be a child who was playful and playful, but now he is getting more and more successful. He sneaked out of the mansion and headed towards Wanping. This is an act that is not afraid of death. Let’s not say that he knows where Wanping is, but that he went from Lin’an to Wenping alone. There are many dangers along the way. Spoiled and unattended, if something really happened, it would be too late to regret it.

Thinking of this, Yan Shizheng became more and more annoyed, pointing at people and yelling: "I thought you were sensible and obedient, but I didn't think that you were obedient and disobedient, and even ignored your mother's body, can I know how capable you are? You dare to run to Fanping with your ability, are you really not afraid of death!"

Yan Zhao raised his head, refused to give in at all, and said in a crying voice: "You and mother lied to me first, and mother's health is fine, obviously you lied to me first!"

Speaking of this matter, Yan Shizheng's face was also ugly, and he walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said angrily, "We are doing it for your own good! Is this a place where you can go to have fun while marching and fighting! Those who died in battle The bones can be moved up to hundreds of you. You open your eyes to see what other people are living. You eat chaff and swallow vegetables without a tile to cover your head. Yan, if your mother hadn't been the princess of Dajin, how could you have lived such a luxurious life? You can do whatever you want. Wherever you go, someone will respectfully call you "little lord." What a blessing, you are so ignorant of good and evil, you are so eager to seek death! If you knew that you would not have a good life, why not do it yourself!"

After the words fell, Yan Zhao suddenly thought of Pei Zhan's words: Young master, it's also thanks to you being born into a good family.

He was already a half-grown boy, and because of all the hardships he had suffered, he was used to his willful temper, and all kinds of grievances suddenly came up, and he held back his tears and raised his head angrily, "You really think I'm rare!"

"You...you..." Yan Shizheng blew his beard and stared, looked around, caught a glimpse of the flower branch in the vase from the corner of his eye, picked up the flower branch and beat him up, yelling furiously, "I don't believe it. You are gone!"

Yan Zhao was also ready for a beating, and leaned forward with his eyes closed. Unexpectedly, there was a startled shout from the courtyard: "Yan Shizheng!"

As expected, Yan Shizheng stopped his movements, Yan Zhao heard the sound and turned around, saw Princess Zhaoyang who had heard the news, his eyes became redder, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Mother..."

"Qingqing, is there any injury, let mother take a look," Princess Zhaoyang held her precious son in both hands and looked around, her face was full of distress, and then she yelled at Yan Shizheng in anger, " He is your son, do you really want to beat him to death? Then you might as well kill me first!"

"Zhaoyang!" Yan Shizheng was also helpless, walked back and forth a few steps, had to sit back in his mouth, rubbed his eyes and said exhaustedly: "Is there nothing I can do, I am not willing, but I Without breaking his legs, believe it or not, he can sneak to Fanping by turning his back on him!"

Hearing this, Princess Zhaoyang also knew the priorities, she no longer pursued Yan Shizheng's question, but took Yan Zhao's hands and asked earnestly, "Qingqing, tell mother, what's so good about Wanping, why are you asking?" Do we have to go? Why don’t we stay in Lin’an obediently? We have to go out and suffer.”

What's so good about Wanping?

In fact, there is nothing good at all, at least for Yan Zhao, this town that only exists in the territory of Dajin has only this name for him.

But there is Pei Zhan, he doesn't want to be a child who is blessed to never grow up, he wants to be a hero like Pei Zhan, he wants Pei Zhan to see him, he wants Pei Zhan to only see him .

Perhaps it was the reason why the child was naturally close to the mother, or the voice of Princess Zhaoyang was too gentle, Yan Zhao did not hesitate, before he had time to think, he said all the thoughts in his heart, "Mother, I I want to go to Wanping, Pei Zhan is there, I want to find him, I will be fine with him."

Princess Zhaoyang felt a little weird when she heard this, she couldn't react, and subconsciously replied, "Qingqing, it's okay if General Pei isn't here, we really can't find someone else to play with."

"It's different," Yan Zhao shook his head, "As long as I want Pei Zhan, I don't care about others. Mother, I like him, and I want to be with him."

Before the words fell, it hit Princess Zhaoyang's heart like a thunderbolt. She was not a young girl, so she naturally understood the meaning of the joy in this sentence. Sitting on the chair, his face was full of disbelief.

Yan Shizheng's face was also extremely ugly, and he never expected such a reason even after thinking about it, his body couldn't stop trembling with anger, and he flew into a rage, "Do you know what you're talking about!"

Yan Zhao bit his lip and didn't make a sound, but his body was still straight. When he was standing, he always twisted and twisted to find a comfortable angle. He looked like a hooligan whose back was raised by Pei Zhan's gunshots. His spine was corrected, and his disobedience and arrogance were smoothed out, and now he can't see the shadow of that dandyism at all.

"Qingqing..." Princess Zhaoyang asked with a trembling voice, "Then General Pei... is a man... Could it be... a mistake..."

Seeing that Yan Zhao was still silent, Princess Zhaoyang covered her mouth with tears streaming from her eyes.

"But Pei Qixiu seduced you!" Yan Shizheng's eyes were red, he staggered over, pinched Yan Zhao's shoulders and asked anxiously: "You don't understand anything, how could you go the wrong way? Pei Qixiu has spoiled you! You tell Dad, I will definitely ask him to give an explanation!"

The latter suddenly felt aggrieved, and the tears that he had endured for a long time burst out suddenly, as if
