The first work of the imperial prison

"How dare he threaten the commander!"

Facing the disappearing figure of Mu Ya at the door, Shen Jiang stamped his feet angrily, hating himself for using his brain just now, thinking of what a smart person should think, that is the job of the young master and the commander, he should let his temper go and rush over Hold him down and beat him up!

If he breaks Jinyiwei's rules, if he hits the board, he will hit the board. He is not afraid!

He's amazing now, even Daha can beat him, so he must be fine!He shouldn't take advantage of this grandson!

"Hey, hey, hey, he's the only one who can say yes!" Shen Jiang rolled up his sleeves, and turned to look at Ye Baiting, "This grandson is embarrassing our commander, young master, if you speak, how can we deal with him!"

Ye Baiting squinted his eyes: "...it's not as simple as the next face."

Shen Jiang tasted it, and felt that the words were wrong: "Is there anything else?"

Ye Baiting's eyes lightly slid across his face: "You don't like history books, you don't like to find them to read, you should have read a lot of story books and heard a lot of dramas? The dictatorial emperor... what will happen with high probability?"

what happen……

Shen Jiang didn't think deeply about it before, and didn't know what the words meant. Now that he thought about it carefully, his expression changed.

Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, killing the rabbit and cooking the dog, killing the bird and hiding the bow, the master of the game... Finished, it doesn't seem to be a good word!

Ye Baiting saw that he thought of it, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It is said that the heights are extremely cold. Those who are at the top of power have experienced too many struggles, too many betrayals, and the situation around them. 30 years in Hedong, 30 years Hexi, all calculations are all about benefits, and gradually his heart will become cold, and he will become more indifferent and ruthless. If there are no positive variables in life, he will eventually come to this point. There is nothing new under the sun. This is the story The stories in the film, the twists and turns on the stage, and the wheel of history are also people's hearts."

Today, the situation in Jokhang is preliminarily determined, the Holy One is diligent, the edge is blooming, the frontier is at peace, General An has been able to return to Beijing, and the people love him. It seems that there is a sign of prosperity. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of that day, but in fact, it will So perfect?

Is there no suspicion between Emperor Yu'an and General An?

The general is outside, and the emperor's order is not accepted. General An has created an incomparable achievement at the border with his own strength. Almost all of the An's army under him are his own soldiers. He only obeys his orders, and he is the only one who follows. Do you really feel relieved?Now that he has secured his seat on the dragon chair and married a queen, he will soon have his own prince. If the military power is left outside like this, won't he be afraid?

General An's prestige is so high that almost all the people in Dazhao know him and support him. Will he become ambitious and think that this is not enough? He doesn't want to be just a general, but wants more, such as the golden chair in the Forbidden City?

What do the Wala people think? It is obvious in this plan. They are sowing dissension. In addition to achieving their own goals and getting the person they want, they also want to have a feud between the monarch and his ministers. It is best to have a heated internal strife. Only then will they have the opportunity to seize the loophole and rob the border again.

The young master made it so clear, and Shen Jiang is not a fool, how could he not figure it out: "Our commander's row of noodles seems to be a bit high... But that can't be blamed on the commander, who made a mistake in protecting the territory?"

Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, other people's serial tricks are not aimless and poisonous."

No matter whether they follow what Muya said or not, as long as this matter is brought up, it will definitely be a hidden danger. This is not a shameful thing. What they are planning is the life of General An, and it is also the foundation and future of Dazhao.

But it's still a pity that the Oala people probably don't know that Emperor Yu'an and Qiu Yiqing are different from the kings and generals of other dynasties. own interests.

After a long silence, Shen Jiang jumped again and scolded: "The Japanese wala dog! It's really not a joke! Look at the dirty work they do! What kind of banquet, killing people, asking the eighth prince, or poisoning people... They are I’m so impatient, I want to blame our Dazhao, dragging our Dazhao people to live a bad life! If they get their way, wouldn’t we be too useless! No, I’m going to kill that Muya to see if he dares to be blind Force!"

As he said that, he was about to rush out.

Ye Baiting stretched out his arm to stop him, his eyes lightened: "Jin Yiwei killed the envoy, what's the matter? Mu Ya is dead, what about the commander's poison?"

Shen Jiang: ...

The eldest man, the circles of his eyes turned red: "Then what should I do! I can't do anything else except this!"

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He only got a glimpse of the commanding ability, and he felt unfathomable. Yamen, the ability to be a wolf is so important, let alone a country?

Dazhao can't do without a commander, and the border is even more impossible to lose, General An!

You can't let people fight their lives and bleed, and now they still have to be calculated, and they can't even keep their good reputation!

"What's the rush, there will always be a solution."

Ye Baiting turned to Qiu Yiqing, without much emotion on his face: "This is not a place to talk, let's go back first?"

Qiu Yiqing narrowed her eyes, and tapped her index finger on the table lightly. After a while, she ordered: "Shen Jiang, you send the young master back first. There should be no delays or mistakes on the way. All tasks should be based on this."

"Yes!" Shen Jiang immediately gave a military salute, "The commander..."

"I need to go to the palace."

Since the Wala people set up this bureau, the market is already building up momentum, and the palace may also get the news. He has to meet with the emperor first, communicate with the next various matters, and discuss solutions and plans.

"Okay." Ye Baiting lowered his eyes and nodded, "Then you come back earlier."

"Ah."

Qiu Yiqing got up and walked out, his steps were as vigorous and firm as before, as if nothing in this world was difficult for him, and there was no need to worry about it.

Passed by Ye Baiting, and when he was about to pass, Qiu Yiqing raised his hand, put it on his forehead, stroked it back lightly, seemed to touch his shoulder, and left as soon as he touched it.

"Don't be afraid."

Ye Baiting felt the gentle strength of this hand, raised his chin slightly, let the sunlight fall on his cheeks, and the light and shadow in front of his eyes were mottled.

A strand of hair danced with the wind and fell to the side of the face.

He stood where he was, watching Qiu Suqing's back leave, and did not move for a long, long time.

At first, he didn't know the direction, and he was worried from any angle. Wherever he looked, it felt like a crisis. Now that he knew where the problem was, he felt much more at ease. He was afraid that he couldn't find the problem.

He is not afraid.

There will be no accidents to Qiu Yiqing, and he will be with him for a long time.

Shen Jiang looked at Ye Baiting, but also did not speak for a long, long time.

He knew that the young master was beautiful, the first time he met in prison, the young master washed his face, he knew that everyone has a love for beauty, sometimes he couldn't help it, he would want to take a second look, but After getting acquainted with each other and getting to know each other better, he no longer made a fuss about the young master's appearance, but saw more of the young master's intelligence, the young master's methods, the young master's uncanny autopsy skills, and his meticulous analysis of human nature in the case. Well, there is no such thing as a difficult case against the young master in the world!

Some people are so powerful, they are good-looking and capable, just like commanders, the two are simply a match made in heaven!

He felt that he had seen too many big scenes, and nothing could shock him silently. He could use this to laugh at others, but he didn't expect that today's scene was still severely shocked.

The young master is wearing a flowing sky-blue robe, with jade waist buttons that make his waist narrow. The summer wind blows out the appearance of an exiled fairy, the sun dances on his face, and the breeze blows over his eyebrows. The light and shadows are mottled, the young master is like a jade glaze that has been exquisitely polished, just standing here, it is so beautiful that people forget their troubles.

Slowly, the impetuousness disappeared, and even the summer heat became less unbearable, Shen Jiang's mood gradually stabilized, and his heart gradually calmed down.

"Master, let's—"

"Let's go."

"Ok?"

"Go back to Beizhen Fusi."

Ye Baiting lifted the corner of his robe, stepped over the threshold, and walked through the sunshine pouring down on the ground, step by step, very steady.

……

Royal Palace.

In front of the Tai Chi Hall, it was really lively.

It is already noon now, and the morning pilgrimage has long since ended, but many officials who have returned to the official yamen have tidied up again, put on their official robes and hats one by one, and ran to the front of the hall to kowtow to ask for an audience. Before the words came out, everyone waited quietly with their hands tied, while whispering unavoidably.

Some people are excited, some are frowning, some are worried, and some are waiting and watching, not expressing their opinions easily, waiting for others to speak first, and considering whether there is anything deeper in this matter that can be grasped.

Everyone had different emotions, but the moment Qiu Xunqing appeared, everyone's eyes turned.

There are burning eyes, some worship, some hope, some complicated, the eyes are different, but everyone's movements are almost the same, they all bowed and bowed their hands in salute——

The young general, who escaped death, protected the people, protected the territory, never gave an inch, propped up the entire border with his own strength, beat the tiles to pieces, and is still out of breath... This is an unworldly achievement, worthy of everyone's worship!

No matter how you evaluate Qiu Xunqing in your heart, whether you like him or fear him, or want to take advantage of him, everyone present is considered to have received his kindness, and this respect in their hearts is common.

Qiu Yiqing didn't speak, just nodded slightly to this side, and continued to walk steadily to the front of Tai Chi Hall.

Just as he was about to see him, Eunuch Gao came out to greet him: "The emperor has been waiting for you for a long time, General An doesn't need to talk about these red tapes, why don't you come in with this old slave first?"

In the Tai Chi Hall, the table that fell on the ground had not been cleared away. Emperor Yu'an's face sank like water, and when he saw someone coming in, he wanted to suppress his temper, but he still didn't hold back: "Why didn't you tell me! The poison on your body is obviously so serious, why only It doesn’t matter if you say you feel less occasionally!”

Qiu Yiqing kowtowed quietly and saluted: "My minister, Qiu Yiqing, see the emperor."

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Emperor Yu'an showed no expression at all, and didn't even think about explaining. He was even angrier: "Qiu Yiqing! Who do you take me for? Is it really that stupid king who has all the birds to hide!"

Qiu Yiqing's complexion has not changed, and he is still quiet: "I am a great country, a country of etiquette, the emperor must set an example, and the words must not be biased."

"What time are you still picking on me for not saying 'Zhen'! What a fart to lead by example!"

Emperor Yu'an was swearing, his eyebrows were deep, and he gritted his teeth: "It's fine for others, you don't know me if you are jealous? Let me tell you, if you don't want to live anymore, just say it straight, I just quit this job, what? Son of Heaven, what kind of dragon chair, whoever loves to do it will do it, and whoever loves to come will come! You know, I have a rebellious personality in the back of my head, and I have been rebellious since I was a child. If it weren't for the eldest princess who worked so hard to straighten me out, if you hadn't coaxed me to say Although this road is a bit difficult, it is very interesting to conquer, and I don't care about it! The eldest princess is gone, and if you die again, I will conquer it and show it to someone!"

He kicked the table angrily: "Every day there is a table of folds, such a big dragon case can't be spread out, and I have to get up before dawn every day, shut up in this broken palace, in front of this inch-sized dragon case, even the wind blows outside. If you don’t have a clue, you have to ask about this matter, and take care of that matter. Everything is urgent, and everything is waiting for my approval. No matter how hard you think about it, it’s hard to make a mistake and get caught. Just make a big fuss, lose face, what do I do, I have to work so hard on myself! Is it not good for me to ride the horse in the rivers and lakes with the queen in my arms, and retreat to the mountains and forests? Let me tell you Qiu Yiqing, I don’t care about this position, and I don’t care about your life Pave the way for me!"

Qiu Yiqing didn't say anything, just quietly walked to the front of the case, held the pot with his own hands, and refilled him with tea: "Mingqian Longjing, the leaves buds stretch out, the fragrance is sweet, the princess's favorite taste, but I can't taste it, only You can understand."

Emperor Yu'an couldn't lose his temper for a moment, and stared at Qiu Yiqing fiercely, the corners of his eyes were slightly red: "...you know this trick! You understand what I just said!"

Hatred Qing lowered his eyes: "I know."

"If I'm really angry, you know what the consequences will be!"

"I know."

"It's good that you know," Emperor Yu'an slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, his eyes were cold, it was the majesty and stubbornness of an emperor, "I'm here today, so please explain this matter clearly to me, don't It doesn't matter, you can't die, or I, the majestic king, won't be able to explain to your little servant."

Qiu Yiqing lowered his eyebrows, and at this moment, his expression changed a little, his eyes revealed a little softness, and his voice was slightly lower: "Don't worry, I don't want to part with it either."

The two changed positions, turned to one side of the table, and sat facing each other with their robes lifted, conducting a detailed analysis and discussion on this matter.Slowly, Emperor Yu'an's expression changed from dignified to thoughtful, to sly and showing a bit of a smirk...

The room is fragrant with yalan, and the sun is just right.

……

In Beizhen Fusi, Ye Baiting was also very quiet. When he returned to his room, he sat cross-legged in front of Xiao Fang. He didn't give any orders, didn't do anything, didn't turn over any files, and just stared out the window in a daze.

Shen Jiang began to worry again.

What a clever mind, young master!What a difficult case, what hidden clues, even if there is only a skull left in the dead body, the young master only needs to move, look around, take a look, think about it, and then he can come to a conclusion and give a direction. Didn't move... don't you want to care about it?

Impossible, the young master didn't care who the commander was before, and it's even more impossible now!

He didn't dare to ask again, so he walked around in circles in the yard in a hurry, knocking out the dogs who ran over when they heard the noise.

"Ugh—"

General Dog shook his head, walked around him, and trotted, trying to enter the room to find the young master, but was held back.

Shen Jiang stroked the short hair on the back of its neck: "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Woof—"

Just as the dog was about to bark, its mouth was pinched again——

"Don't call!"

If it wasn't for the familiar acquaintance he usually sees, the dog could turn around and bite him, wouldn't it be a lie to the dog!Whether the young master is busy or not, can the dog not know?There was clearly no movement in the room!Xuanfeng wants to sleep with the young master!

Shen Jiang held it by the nape of its neck: "Anyway, you are not allowed to go!"

So next, one person and one dog stared at each other in the yard, displeased with each other.

Shen Jiang was really at a loss, stood up and stomped his feet: "It doesn't matter, I'll go and order something good for the young master!"

The young master is different from others, and so is the commander. Both of them are masters with a strong mind. It is impossible to be as anxious and hesitant as he is, and their minds are not in line. You can't just pull a thread out...

He has nothing to do now, so why not have a good meal, the young master is happy and relaxed, maybe there is a way out!

When Ye Baiting heard the dog's voice, he came out of the room, and the dog immediately pawed him, kissed him, and complained, saying that Shen Jiang bullied him, and he just held him down and refused to let him in!

Shen Jiang just ran to the door, and before he went out, he received the young master's gaze, and shivered: "Then what, I'm going to get something to eat?"

Ye Baiting nodded: "Go."

He brought a small sepak takraw ball and played with the dog in the yard. He didn't talk much and was very patient, but the dog also felt that something was wrong. Although he was still playing, he was not as crazy as he was playing. It's like being with the young master, coaxing the young master, very obedient.

When Qiu Xunqing came back, what he saw was this picture. One person and one dog were in the yard, and the person squatted under the sun, covering a small shadow. The figure of the dog jumping around was much taller. He is also very strong, but when he gets close to the figure, he slows down his footsteps and moves softly. When he holds the takraw ball in his mouth to work for Xiao Wu, he deliberately retracts his sharp canine teeth, for fear of hurting him.

"Wow - woof!"

Seeing the owner coming back, the dog reacted faster than humans, turned around, and wagged its tail at Qiu Suiqing.

Ye Baiting just saw him and was startled: "You're back?"

Qiu Yiqing happened to catch Shen Jiang out of the corner of his eye. The latter was directing the kitchen to serve the food, so he sent him to the commander's room.

"not yet eat?"

"Wait for you," Ye Baiting tilted his head with a smile, "Would the commander do you a favor?"

"Let's go."

Qiu Yiqing walked over, with tenderness in his eyes, but he didn't hold Ye Baiting's hand.

Ye Baiting looked at the Jin Yiwei who were walking around, understood, the commander is a gentleman, it is inconvenient if there are too many people, you have to respect yourself.

He lowered his eyes slightly, followed the footsteps of the person in front, and quietly entered the room.

Jin Yiwei's soldiers were very fast, under the command of Shen Jiang, they left quickly after setting up a table of dishes.

"It doesn't look too bad..."

Qiu Yiqing didn't finish a sentence to mobilize the atmosphere, but her back tightened and she was hugged.

"Why are you so nice today?"

He was slightly startled, and stretched out his hand to caress Ye Baiting's hand, only to be kissed.

Ye Baiting turned around and came to him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him lightly, very lightly and softly, with strong nostalgia and a lot of heartache.

Qiu Yiqing deepened the kiss, and when she left, her breathing was slightly rapid and her voice was hoarse: "I'm fine."

"I know." Ye Baiting leaned on his shoulder, her voice muffled, "I just think that you gave up so many things, saved so many people, and almost lost your life...you shouldn't be treated like this."

"Nothing should or shouldn't be."

Qiu Yiqing gently caressed Ye Baiting's waist with his big hand: "Everything I do is my own will. I don't regret it, and I never feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, but baby...you love me."

He lowered his head and kissed Xiao Zuo: "You have me in your heart, I am very happy."

Ye Baiting didn't speak.

Qiu Yiqing caressed his face with his fingertips: "I sacrificed for others, and there are also people who sacrificed for me. Everyone thank me, and I am also very grateful to these people. You see, some people always say that I am alone and less exposed to the fireworks of the world. , but I have formed such deep bonds with so many people, and I am never alone."

"It was in those years, and it is even more so now."

"I have you, don't I?"

Ye Baiting knew that Qiu Yiqing must be able to guess what he was thinking, and his voice became even more muffled: "...um."

"Are you hungry? Eat something first?"

"I do not--"

"You're not hungry, but I'm hungry. I had a long conversation with the emperor just now, but the emperor didn't care about the food, and didn't give me two dishes of the imperial meal, so he sent me back, saying that there was someone waiting at my house, so he wouldn't refuse." Knowing the eyes..."

"Stop talking! Eat! Eat now!"

The dignified Commander of Fusi of Beizhen, the great general of Megatron Border Pass, dare to speak in such a crooked manner, why don't you give up your character design!

"Come on, eat this."

"Try this."

"This one seems pretty good too."

Not only did Chou Yiqing's words become greasy, but his movements were also very crooked. He repeatedly fed Ye Baiting with food, as if he was full of enthusiasm. It was inconvenient to express it in other ways at the moment, so he put it all in these movements.

Ye Baiting: ...

Forget it.

But he still couldn't hold back, and asked, "What does the emperor say?"

Qiu Yiqing: "Give me the right to act cheaply. This matter does not require the emperor to come forward. I can do it from my heart."

"In that case..."

Ye Baiting rolled his eyes: "Do you want to go to the prison?"

Qiu Yiqing seemed to have expected that he would say this, and his expression did not change at all: "Eat first, we will talk after eating."

This big baby, he looks good, but in fact... well, he is also good in reality, but his mind doesn't stop for a moment, he scares Shen Jiang and Gouzi outside like something, but in fact he has a plan in his heart, but he doesn't like him Coincidentally.

It seems that they have had this kind of tacit understanding since the first cooperation in handling the case.

The emperor was right, they were a match made in heaven.

The conductor made my heart very happy, brought a bowl, and filled a bowl of soup for Xiao Wuzuo.

The meal was finished quickly, but Ye Baiting was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took Qiu Yiqing to discuss more, the information clues in his hand, the facts pointed to, the whole situation now, including Qiu Yiqing's meeting with Qiu Yiqing in the palace. The emperor's conversation... finally cleared his mind, and it took a long time before he went to the prison.

The Imperial Prison was as usual, dark and cold, with no light from the sky, filled with all kinds of gloomy and dead air, it was not very pleasant to take a breath.

But people are different, there are people who are very smart and can always detect the direction of the wind in advance and get a piece of news...

In the interrogation room, Qingniao rubbed her temples with both palms, straightened her clothes, sat upright at the table, smiled, and took a good rest, looking completely ready.

But he didn't expect that as soon as the other party sat down, a word would break his defense.

Ye Baiting said, "Eighth Prince, we found it."
