steal bi

The maid looked at Qiao Yu's face anxiously, wondering if she should come over to clean up.

Qiao Yu said: "Tell me, what's going on." His expression was calm, his tone was also calm, and even his expression didn't change much.

Wei Yu bowed his head and said: "My lord ordered to rest outside the city when he arrived at the city. The kerosene, the kerosene was ignited at that time, and my lord was still beside me. The fire has been extinguished now, and my lord is gone."

Wei Yu's words are very avoiding the important and prioritizing the less important. For Qiao Yu, the unknown of Yuan Zanbi's life and death is more consolation than being completely dead, but it is just the lesser of two evils.

Qiao Yu's long eyebrows were furrowed, and she was speechless for a while.

Wei Yu said again: "Qiao Xiang, the army is in chaos right now, should we let the army come back?"

Qiao Yu seemed a little stunned, and asked, "What are you doing back here?"

Seeing that he was calm on the face, but in fact he was at a loss and was even more anxious, he said: "Juqie City is only [-] miles away from the rebel city, and it takes less than two days to march there. Qiao Xiang, there is no one in the army right now. Let the army stay here and there are many dangers, and ask Qiao Xiang to give an order as soon as possible."

Qiao Yu leaned on the chair and remained silent for a long time.

Wei Yu was going crazy, "My lord."

"Joe Xiang!"

Yin Yu hurried in.

Qiao Yu seemed to suppress a sigh, "What's the matter?"

"I found Master Yuan's body." Yin Yu said.

Qiao Yu was taken aback, "What did you find?"

Yin Yu worriedly watched the blood on his face slowly disappear, and said cautiously: "Master Yuan's body has been found."

Qiao Yu said, "Really?"

Yin Yudao: "Yes, the corpse is beyond recognition, but it looks like an adult, and the remains of the armor are also the armor of an adult." He paused, "Master Xiaoxue is also there, it is said that he is Lord Yuan's cousin, I probably won't admit it wrong .”

If there is a second cup on the table, it has already been smashed to pieces by Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu's shoulders trembled slightly, as if trying to suppress his emotions.

The sockets of his eyes were not sure whether it was from sadness or anger, they were already a little red, but they looked as charming and weird as if they had been rouged.

Although Yin Yu lowered his head like Wei Yu, he never forgot to scan Qiao Yu's face from the corner of his eye.

Yuan Zanbi died, Qiao Yu didn't seem very sad, but mostly angry.

Too.Yin Yu thought in her heart.

It was widely rumored that Qiao Yuan and Qiao Yuan were at odds with each other. Although Yuan Zanbi had saved Qiao Yu, in Yin Yu's eyes, it was just that the two were still tied together and they had to do it as a last resort.

Qiao Yu does not have military power in his hands, nor does he have the popularity to raise his arms and respond to everyone. Whether it is a civil servant for many years, or a civil servant whose name has spread throughout the government and the public, let such a person command the army, not to mention whether he understands it or not, but the army obeys. , it is difficult to reach the sky.

If Yin Yu were Qiao Yu, he would be angry at this moment.

The army is about to be dispatched, and victory seems to be close at hand. Who can not be angry when they suddenly hear that the coach is dead?

If the rebels moved forward, Qiao Yu couldn't even keep the cities in his hands, and he didn't have to go back to Zhongzhou. It was better to tidy up and run to avoid disaster.

Wei Yu said, "Mr. Qiao?"

Qiao Yu took a deep breath and said, "Let the truth think about it."

Wei Qi was in a hurry, but Qiao Yu seemed to have nothing to do, so he had to leave with Yin Yu.

As soon as he came out, he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yin, why did you tell Qiao Xiang the news of Mr. Yuan's accident so early? If Qiao Xiang didn't know, maybe he can hold on for a while until the court sends civil servants, or General Mei Yingqin, to say Maybe it will be able to turn the tide!"

Yin Yu didn't seem to know the consequences of his words, and turned pale, and said: "The situation is urgent, I, I didn't think so much."

Wei Yu knew that he shouldn't blame him. The situation is such that even Qiao Yu is at a loss, not to mention the teacher in this small town, but he still can't restrain his anger, and sneers: "Two months of hard work, ruined once, what is the future of Qingzhou?" It’s not known yet, maybe I’m going to prepare to hang up my seal and resign, or give myself a knife, and thank the court with death in the face of the rebels!”

Yin Yu took a step back, not daring to look at Wei Yu's bloodshot eyes, which were tired all day long. How could he dare to speak again, so he bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing his patience, Wei Yu let out a breath, turned around and left, intending to invite Mei Yingxian.

He hurried out and bumped into someone.

He raised his head, and what he saw was Yuan Xiuyan, who looked like a fairy, which was the complete opposite of the turbulent governor's mansion.

Wei Wei bowed his head and cupped his hands, called Mr. Yuan, and walked away sideways.

The grievances between Yuan Xiuyan and Wei Yu can be traced back to when Yuan Qiao and Yuan Qiao first arrived. Although Yuan Xiuyan saw that the other side looked gray, although he wanted to make a joke or two, but the most important thing at the moment is not this matter, so he half-truth and half-false Facing Yin Yu who was standing at the door, "Mr. Qiao is too good at mo-training servants."

Wei Yu is an official of the governor's office, but he called Qiao Yu's servant in his mouth.

Yin Yu forced a smile, still staring at Wei Yun.

Yuan Xiuyan was led to Qiao Yu's study by officials, and he was very attentive along the way.

A document did not wait for Yuan Xiuyan to open his mouth, so he made his own claim to open the door for Yuan Xiuyan.

Qiao Yu was burning something when he heard a voice suddenly raised his head.

Although Yuan Xiuyan was dissatisfied with Qiao Yu in every possible way, he was still shocked to see his distraught face at first, and secretly sighed that God was too partial.

Such a face, if given to the children of ordinary people, as long as the nobleman takes a fancy to it, someone will definitely think about it and send him to his side, but Qiao Yu is not the case, such a face can only be seen and untouched.

Hantan has drawn his sword.

The little official was so frightened that he almost knelt down and hurried out.

The maid hesitated outside with the tea, but came in after a while and poured it for Qiao Yu.

When Yin Yu came to report the letter, his face was in a hurry. There were still relatives living in the city and the city said that something happened to Yuan Zanbi, so how could he concentrate on working under Qiao Yu's subordinates?It is not known whether Qiao Yu will survive or not.

Qiao Yu straightened up and threw the last bit into the fire.

His posture is still not embarrassed, although he is at a disadvantage, he is arrogant, I don't know if it is his nature, or he is trying to save face.

Yuan Xiuyan opened his mouth and said, "May Mrs. Qiao express my condolences."

Qiao Yu said indifferently: "It's time to ask Mr. Yuan to express his condolences."

Yuan Zanbi is from the Yuan family of Linyang, not of the same family as Yuan Xiuyan, but there are still some relatives, no matter what, it is not worth him to come and ask Qiao Yu to mourn.

Yuan Xiuyan nodded and said: "I just heard the news, my father was shocked and sad, but thinking of Qiao Xiang's close relationship with Zanbi, I'd like to see how Qiao Xiang is doing, please take good care of your health, the matter in Qingzhou is not over yet, it's not Qiao Xiang Out of control."

He keeps telling Qiao Yu to mourn, every word is comforting, but reminds Qiao Yu all the time that there is still a big mess in Qingzhou that has not been handled properly, Yuan Zanbi is dead, and he is alone and helpless in the city.

Qiao Yu said coldly: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, do you have other things to do? The truth is that I'm busy with affairs, if I have nothing to do, I won't accompany you."

Seeing that he was angry, Yuan Xiuyan wasn't angry, but felt joyful instead.

Previously, Qiao Yu was sharp-tongued and flamboyant, how good was it in Qingzhou?How much he has suffered for the family, and his current attitude is rude, he thinks it is very good.

Because before, even if Qiao Yu broke face with the family, it would not be easy for both sides, but now, even if Qiao Yu died in Qingzhou and the emperor had a fit, he couldn't do anything to them.

Qiao Yu is like a gadget in their hands that can be crushed to death at any time. It is not scary for such a gadget to threaten people.

Yuan Xiuyan smiled and said, "I have something to discuss with Qiao Xiang in detail."

Qiao Yu looked at him, as if acquiescing.

Yuan Xiuyan said: "My family is extremely sad about the hairpin pen. First, the hairpin tassel was amazing before it died young, and then the hairpin pen followed suit. It is really regrettable." Maliciousness, whether towards Yuan Zanying or Qiao Yu, the orphan of Ning You's case, Yuan Zanying shook the foundation of the family back then and attracted resentment from many people. It's not like they are working together, how can Yuan Xiuyan and others think of Yuan Zanying back then? "May I ask Qiao Xiang about the matter in Qingzhou, how does Qiao Xiang plan to deal with it next?"

Qiao Yu said flatly: "No comment."

He spoke at this time with a bit of the demeanor of Yuan Zanbi.

Yuan Xiuyan said: "If I am an adult, I must first stabilize the chaos and appoint General Mei Yingqin, or wait for the court to send another general over, what do you think?"

Qiao Yu picked up the teacup and blew lightly, "No matter what you say, it will make Mr. Yuan finish. I don't know what Mr. Yuan wants to say?"

Yuan Xiuyan smiled, "It's true that you're smart, but it's just time-consuming and labor-intensive. Does Qiao Xiang have that much time?"

This is close to a threat.

Qiao Yu asked doubtfully, "Why don't you have time?" He paused, seeming to understand but also a little embarrassed, "Could it be that Mr. Yuan has a hidden disease, so he won't be able to see that day?"

Yuan Xiuyan knew that he usually spoke like this, and knew that he was only at the end of his strength, but he was still aroused, and said: "Qiao Xiang, if a civil servant like Qiao Xiang has no military power in his hands, I don't know if he can have it in Qingzhou." The scenery in Zhongzhou?"

"What Mr. Yuan wants to say, it's better to say it directly." Qiao Yu said.

Yuan Xiuyan asked maliciously, "I don't know what else is urgent for Xiang Xiang right now?"

Qiao Yu smiled at him, with a soft tone, "Didn't Mr. Yuan say that he didn't have time earlier? In fact, he was thinking of Mr. Yuan, but Mr. Yuan didn't seem to appreciate it very much."

Yuan Xiuyan took a deep breath, "Qiao Xiang..."

Qiao Yu directly interrupted, "There is a doubt about the truth. The Shaoling Yuan Clan and the Lin Yang Yuan Clan belonged to the same branch, so the ancestors of the adults are still a collateral line of the Lin Yang Yuan Clan. Talented people are far away from Yuan Ya, who set up a chisel platform and established the world pattern, and near Yuan Zantao, who disturb the situation, are extremely talented ministers, such as Yuan Zanbi. Of course, they are not as good as these people in my heart, but they are also young talents. hansome."

Yuan Xiuyan frowned and said, "What does Qiao Xiang want to say?"

"The truth is, do these people have something to do with Lin Yang's luck? Otherwise, why is one of the orchids and jade trees in front of the court so unbearable, and comparing the two is like leaning on jade?"

Yuan Xiuyan patted the table and stood up, "You!"

Qiao Yu's long eyelashes drooped down, and she looked fragile and charming, but her words were as inaudible as ever, "Young Master Yuan came here in a hurry to make trouble. I know that you and your father are narrow-minded and embarrassing. The furniture suffers from a hidden disease and cannot see the future."

Yuan Xiuyan laughed back angrily, "I meant it well, since Qiao Xiang is so ignorant, then I have nothing to say." Seeing Qiao Yu fiddling with his cuffs, he couldn't help saying: "Qiao Xiang has offended you before. The Fang family is so extreme that I don't know how Qiao Xiang plans to start and end."

Yuan Qinghui knew that the Fang family could not keep Qiao Yu, and originally wanted to sell Qiao Yu's favor, and it would be good for Qiao Yu to cooperate with them, but Yuan Xiuyan's attitude was too much, and Qiao Yu could not be inferior to others at all. It's gotten to this point.

When he went out, Wei Yu came in hastily.

Yuan Xiuyan said maliciously: "May Qiao Xiangzhen get his wish and let Mei Yingqin command the army."

Qiao Yu said: "The truth is still the same sentence, what Mr. Yuan wants to know, why not see for yourself."

Yuan Xiuyan left in a huff.

Qiao Yu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and muttered to himself, "Could it really be related to local luck?"

He looked at the anxious Wei Tiao, saw the panic outside again, and sighed slightly in his heart.

During Ning You's coup, Xie and other people were so leisurely. The ministers were imprisoned in the palace, and it was not panic. How did they get here? The result is unknown, but the chaos is as if the capital of the country fell and the emperor was captured?

Wei Yu said: "Qiao Xiang, something happened to General Mei Yingqin!"

As soon as he arrived at the general's mansion, he heard the mansion weeping bitterly, and the mansion was full of white paper.

When he entered, he saw the general's wife and concubines, who were usually full of jewels, kneeling and weeping in front of the coffin, and a golden nanmu coffin was parked in front of the hall.

Wei Wei felt that the blood all over his body was cold, and said in a trembling voice: "Ma'am, what's wrong with the general?"

The general's wife choked up and said: "Yesterday the general came back in the middle of the night and said he was hungry. The concubine in the mansion cooked the bird's nest porridge for the general and sent it to the general. After drinking it, the general fell asleep. In the morning, the concubine went to wake the general up, but the general..." She couldn't continue and lost her voice cry bitterly.

Wei Qi stared blankly at this snow-white beauty's face.

The general's wife is in such a complicated mood. First, her husband abandoned his wife and son. Mei Yingxian pretended to be her elder brother but suffered a disaster. Her youngest son was only five years old. grief.

The concubine is even more sad, the wife is the wife after all, if the emperor is not implicated, she will either become a widow or return to her natal family. They are all bought by the general, and their future is uncertain.

Wei Yu murmured, "How can someone poison you?"

A gleam of resentment flashed across Madam's eyes, and she said, "I don't know." Why didn't she know that she was involved in Yuan Qiao's affairs with the family?

Wei Yu said, "What about the murderer?"

Madam cried hoarsely, "I was killed."

The clue is broken again.Wei Yu had nothing to say, and after several mournful words, he left the general's mansion.

He stumbled back to the governor's mansion, saw Qiao Yu, and explained the whole story clearly.

Now there is only one way to wait for the imperial court. Qiao Yu is different from them, as long as Qiao Yu changes his tone, he can still return to Zhongzhou. These small officials, if they stay in Qingzhou, they will never have a bright future, and at worst, their families will be ruined.

Wei Yu stood beside Qiao Yu silently.

Qiao Yu said thoughtfully, "Master Wei."

Wei Yu ran around for everything, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger. Without practice, it is very rare to have this kind of concentration.

Wei Yu's eyes lit up, "Qiao Xiang."

Qiao Yuyou said: "My lord, don't you think that the truth is that she looks like a widow whose husband died. Anyone can come and insult her."

Wei Yu was speechless for a while, he couldn't say like or like, he just felt that Qiao Yu was either overly sad and delirious, or he was already sick, so he could say such words at this time.

Qiao Yu said to the shivering maid with a pleasant face, "The tea is cold, go get a new pot."

The maid came to tidy up, and Qiao Yu said again, "I still need a cup."

"Yes."

Qiao Yu suppressed the sadness that seemed to be there, and said, "Master Wei, go and ask Mr. Yin to come over."
