21. Find out - two years have passed, people are still there,? It is difficult to know oneself, family and country.

"Liu Shao really thinks that the pirates will target Lin'an?"

Lu Xi raised the corner of his mouth, and put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard: "What? Brother Guangbo doesn't think so."

Zhao Qirui sighed: "It's not that I don't think so, it's just that I don't want to be so."

Lu Xi dropped the chess piece: "I won."

Zhao Qirui, who was distracted at first, took a closer look, couldn't help but smile bitterly, half of the country was killed by Lu Xi: "Sixth Young Master, I've been worrying about one thing these days."

Lu Xi raised his eyebrows, waiting for him to speak.

"I remember when we first met, you went to the brothel to buy news."

Zhao Qirui still remembers why they met,? In fact, when they passed by the brothel that day, a scholar who was taking an exam with him held a banquet in that building, and he had to drag himself over there.That scholar was Qian Ling, a cousin of Qiu Chao's from far away.At that time, Lu Xi was also in that brothel. When Qian Ling said that he was in high spirits, he insisted on calling all the girls here to let him choose.It was like an emperor choosing a concubine. When Qian Ling picked a girl, the old bustard's face changed instantly.

It's just because the daughter is the daughter of a guilty minister, but she was pardoned by the emperor, and she voluntarily lived here for some unknown reason, but she still refused to sell herself.This girl is a master of piano and painting, and all the guests praised her talent and learning, and she has become a cash cow.When she first entered the building, someone took care of her with kindness and majesty, so the old bustard could only let her go.Don't say that you don't sell yourself as a performer, even if you are a performer, the girl has to nod and agree.

The old bustard smiled and said about the situation, but Qian Ling got even worse: "You mean this young master is not good enough for her?"

"Don't dare to dare, it's just that Miss Haitang is a pure actress. She is a performer but not a person. If the young master really loves you, let me ask—"

Before he finished speaking, Qian Ling smashed the jug in his hand to the ground, reached out and grabbed Miss Haitang's wrist, intending to pull her directly into his arms.

Just when many candidates were frowning and couldn't see it, a light voice floated down from the second floor: "Mr. Qian is so unscrupulous, but he thinks he has already been named on the gold list? But I don't think Mr. Qian should be so happy so early Oh, maybe Mr. Qian doesn't know yet, but this morning, the Right Prime Minister has written to His Majesty to be sick for seven days, and he is not fit to participate in the review of examination papers."

Qian Ling was stunned, and when he said this, he also woke up from the wine. Although he still wanted to refute a few words sternly, but the more he thought about it, the more he panicked, and he said a few words to the boy next to him, and then the boy kept talking. He scrambled and ran out.After the boy came back and said a few words to Qian Ling, Qian Ling's face turned pale, and he had no intention of having fun.He wanted to know who the speaker was, but if this person knew something he didn't know, it must not be something he could afford.

The discerning person next to him quickly said: "Thanks to Qian Shao's banquet, it's not early today, I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first." Those who were forced to scatter like birds and beasts at this moment, only Zhao Qirui did not move.

In the end, even Qian Ling left feeling disappointed, while Zhao Qirui sat where he was and poured himself a drink, and called the old bustard to order another small plate of peanuts.

The person on the second floor said again: "They are all gone, why don't you go?"

Zhao Qirui smirked: "They left because they came for money, and I didn't leave because I just came for food and drink, not for anyone."

"Since you are hungry, why only eat a plate of peanuts?"

"No money." Zhao Qirui said bluntly.

The old bustard's complexion changed again, his heart seemed to be bleeding, he let go of a golden pastry and left behind a poor scholar.But she didn't dare to reveal too much, just because she didn't want to offend the mysterious guest on the second floor.

"I invite you." The man on the second floor threw down a silver ingot, "Buddhist, serve this young man good wine and food."

"Six young masters, wait a moment, I'll be here right away." The old bustard took the money and turned around to tell the servant.

That was the first time that Zhao Qirui knew the name of the Sixth Young Master. Although it could not be called a name, he actually only knew one title these years.

Afterwards, the bustard served a table of good wine and food, but Zhao Qirui smiled and pointed to the upstairs: "Sixth Young Master generously donated, I must thank you." Zhao Qirui lifted his robe and went up to the second floor. groan

In the elegant room.

To Zhao Qirui's surprise, the girl Haitang who caused the dispute just now was kneeling on the soft bed and pouring wine for the man by the window.Said to be a man, his age looks more like a teenager, with a white brocade robe rolled with gold trim, his hair is not tied with a crown, but tied with a white silk ribbon and jade pendant in his hair, one leg is stretched and the other is bent, leaning lazily by the window.

"At first, I thought that Xiongtai couldn't get used to the actions of Young Master Qian, but I didn't expect the young master to be a hero to save the beauty, so I didn't know how to bother you." Zhao Qirui didn't intend to go in, and took two steps back to leave.

That Haitang girl suddenly laughed: "My lord misunderstood, Liu Shao and I are just masters and servants, and I treat Liu Shao as master, that's all."

Zhao Qirui was stunned: "You guys knew each other before?" The familiarity in the girl's mouth didn't seem like they just met each other.

"My family's surname is Xu, and the small character is Tanglan."

Zhao Qirui was completely stunned, Xu Tanglan, the most talented woman in the capital.He was convicted because of his uncle's infidelity with a foreign enemy, and he has fallen to this point?For a moment, Zhao Qirui couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy that something hurts his kind.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to think too much about Tang Lan. Your Majesty has pardoned Tang Lan and her younger brother. Tang Lan was not convicted, and it was Tang Lan's wish to join the brothel." Xu Tanglan suddenly smiled like a flower, and her words were crisp, "Man in the world is so lucky." , emptied of a woman's lovesickness. It's rare to stay together forever, it's not as happy as a spring night."

As a man in the world, Zhao Qirui couldn't help touching his nose, but he admired the young man in brocade robe who was drinking, as if he turned a deaf ear to it.Zhao Qirui suspected for a moment that he didn't understand, but he felt that it was impossible from the bottom of his heart.

"Liu Shao is calm."

The young man in brocade robe turned his head to look at him, and said, "I know I'm not a lucky man, so you don't need to bother me."

Zhao Qirui: "..." Meals can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be spoken indiscriminately. His wife is jealous.

When they met that day, the two had a chat over wine. Although Lu Xi was cold and Zhao Qirui only answered one sentence after ten sentences, it did not prevent that sentence from being a finishing touch.So after a meal, Zhao Qirui regarded Lu Xi as a confidant.Afterwards, his title on the gold list was sent to Lin'an, where he has been stationed for two years.The two parties had exchanged letters during the period, but because they were not talkative people, it was more because Zhao Qirui encountered difficult things, and when he was in a state of desperation, he couldn't help but think of this good friend in Beijing.

The chance reunion two years later caused Zhao Qirui to arouse the doubts that he had deliberately suppressed in his heart.

"Liu Shao, I didn't ask back then because I regarded you as a confidant." Zhao Qirui sighed, "But now, as the prefect of Lin'an, I have to ask."

Lu Xi raised his eyes, as if he had anticipated Zhao Qirui's question.

Zhao Qirui smiled wryly and said: "I'm afraid that if I ask this question, you and I are friends because of this. I originally wanted to play chess again, but unfortunately I didn't care about it, and let down Liu Shao and this good game of chess."

Lu Xi looked at Zhao Qirui quietly, which made Zhao Qirui nervous. He took a deep breath: "Brother Yu would like to ask, Liu Shao is a foreigner."

Lu Xi gave him a surprised look. He thought Zhao Qirui would ask his name directly, but he didn't expect him to ask such a question: "Of course not, my parents are both from the capital."

Zhao Qirui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it's not a good thing, the worst thing he thought before was the royal family of a small country in Fanbang, it is really Lu Xi's knowledge, conversation and action, it is really not something that ordinary small families can cultivate: " It’s fine if it’s not, I was most worried about which foreign prince you were, it’s fine if it’s not.”

"Then let me ask another question." Zhao Qirui cleared his throat and said again.

Lu Xi always felt that this might not be a serious issue.

"Do you have any enmity with the court?"

Lu Xun was overjoyed, and finally knew where Zhao Qirui's thinking had gone, and he didn't hide it immediately: "I have no enmity with the court, but I do have some grudges against some people in the court."

Zhao Qirui's heart was in his throat: "Then, for revenge...will you associate with a foreign country?"

"See what kind of hook-up you're talking about." Lu Xi seemed to deliberately sprinkle some salt on Zhao Qirui's heart, and said calmly, "It's also a strategy to make friends from a distance."

Seeing that Zhao Qirui's face was almost twisted into one place, Lu Xi laughed loudly: "Brother Guangbo, there is no need to worry too much. Even if we have a long-distance relationship and a short-term attack, it is impossible to give up the land of Dayu. Dayu and I live and die together."

This sentence was like a reassurance. Zhao Qirui finally let go of the heart that had been hesitant for a few days.

They didn't know each other's identities when they met, and they didn't meet each other because of their identities.However, as the magistrate of Lin'an, he had to force himself to explore whether Lu Xi's identity was an enemy or a friend.

The reason why there is such a chess game today is because of Lu Xi's words, Zhao Qiruixin.

Lu Xi took a sip of tea and teased, "But I didn't expect brother Guangbo to think so deeply. Could it be that Mrs. Sister-in-law's words have been read too much?"

Zhao Qirui sighed, ignoring Lu Jue's banter: "The capital city is complicated, I haven't seen you in two years, so I'm inevitably a little overthinking."

"Brother Guangbo doesn't like the capital?"

"I can't say whether I like it or not. It's just that the people in the capital are complicated and beyond my control." Zhao Qirui rubbed his nose. This is his habitual action, and he likes to do it whenever he feels a little embarrassed or can't speak. This kind of action, "I have a wife and son, so I can't help thinking more. Although the capital is nice, it's not as comfortable as Lin'an."

"Lin'an is rich, and there are many foreigners..." Before Lu Xi could finish speaking, Zhao Qirui shook his index finger and said in a low voice, "No, no, most foreigners in Lin'an are for business, even if they have schemes. It's just a small fight, and the locals have a lot of estrangement from it, but this is not the case in the capital."

Lu Xi frowned: "Why did you say that?"

"Sixth Young Master, have you ever heard of Diabolo Villa?" Zhao Qirui said slowly, "I lived in Diabolo Villa for a few days, and there were foreigners in the villa who often chatted with the second and third candidates, exchanging cups and glasses."

"What did you say?" Lu Xi's face turned serious, "Is there any foreigner in the Diabolo Villa? Which country?"

Zhao Qirui twitched the corners of his mouth, and said slightly sarcastically: "There are all of them, there are people from Tatar, Annan, and several small countries in the northwest, as well as people from the Wa country. I also heard that these are the guests of the owner of the villa."

"Bold and bold." Lu Xi's eyes were deep and thunderous, and there was such a thing under his nose.He clenched his fists, but if this is true, then the thing that he was puzzled about before may have been solved why these countries rioted at the Dayu border at the same time like moths to a flame, just because——

Now it's time for them to make an appointment.

The author has something to say: Zhao Qirui: I worry every day that I have betrayed the country QAQ
