Maung-mei is wrong

In the Liangfu city, there were five yamen servants standing outside Qin Luoyu's small courtyard, and another one squatted on the roof day and night, with eagle-eyed eyes, vigilantly looking around the surrounding alleys.

Qin Luoyu seemed to be accustomed to this. She washed a basin of clothes in the yard and hung them on the clothesline to dry. Now that water was boiling on the stove next to her, she hurriedly picked up the smoking kettle and filled it with water. He went into the teapot where tea had been placed on the stone table, filled the six teacups one by one, and then called the yamen servants to drink tea.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, everyone has been familiar with each other for a long time, so the yamen servants did not see out, they took turns to drink some water and eat some pastries. The one on the roof was particularly conscientious, but only came down to drink a cup of tea and didn’t eat anything. Then he returned to the original place and guarded.

Qin Luoyu was busy doing all the things at home, sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze.

"Hey, Mrs. Xiang." The yamen servant on the roof suddenly shouted at her, "Your husband is back."

"Really?" Qin Luoyu hadn't reacted yet, the sound of horseshoes had already been heard outside the courtyard gate, she walked over quickly, just in time to see Xiang Yushu pushing the door in.

He was carrying a long cloth bag in his hand and an equipment bag on his body, and he smiled at Qin Luoyu so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "Luo Yu!"

"Master!" Qin Luoyu plunged into his arms and hugged him firmly, "You are back!"

Xiang Yushu said with a smile: "Originally it would take two days for a one-way trip, but now it takes three days to make a round trip, it's already a hassle."

"It's too hard. Sit down, and I'll pour tea for you." Qin Luoyu turned his head and walked away, but he grabbed his wrist.

"Isn't it just to come back to see you!" Xiang Yushu stuffed the cloth bag in her arms, "Here, you left the pipa in the Canghai Tower, haven't you been thinking about it all the time, I brought it back for you."

Qin Luoyu happily opened the cloth bag and looked at it, with a sweet smile: "Thank you, Mr.!"

"Just thank you?" Xiang Yu Shu teased.

Qin Luoyu: "..."

She glanced embarrassedly at the yamen servants who squeezed over to watch the excitement outside the gate, Xiang Yu Shu followed her gaze and turned around, those heads were put back with a "swish", and she opened the gate very discerningly. Bring it on.

Qin Luoyu turned back to look at the one on the roof, that person had already turned her head to the side, making a look of "see no evil", she just tiptoed lightly, and "tweeted" on Xiang Yu Shu's cheek kissed.

Xiang Yushu showed a naive smile, and turned Qin Luoyu's face to look carefully: "How are you these few days?"

"There are big brothers from the government to take care of me, and I'm fine." Qin Luoyu pulled him to sit down at the stone table, put the pipa on the table, and squeezed his shoulders for him, "Where did you go? , People are also tanned."

Just as Xiang Yu Shu was about to speak, she quickly said: "Ah! I asked casually, don't tell me!"

"Luo Yu, don't be so nervous in front of me." Xiang Yu Shu patted her hand and said distressedly, "I won't doubt you."

Qin Luoyu rubbed his shoulders and said sincerely: "It's okay, I won't cause trouble for you."

After hearing this, Xiang Yushu's originally flying expression couldn't help but become lonely.

After a while, I heard Qin Luoyu timidly say: "But... can you tell me, will you go on such a long journey again? I have no other intentions, but this time is too sudden, and I didn't even have time to prepare dry food for you ..."

Xiang Yushu backhanded her and sat on his lap, hugged her and said, "It doesn't matter if you have dry food or something, I can just buy and eat on the way. This time it happened suddenly, and I will try my best to tell you in advance if I go far away. Don't think too much, ah!"

Qin Luoyu wrapped his arms around his neck, smiled and nodded slightly.

Zuo Hengqiu and Xiang Yushu returned to the city together, went straight to the government office, and sneaked into Master Guo's office.

Seeing him coming, Mr. Guo quickly got up, looked out the window cautiously, then took out a set of yamen uniform from the cabinet and handed it over: "Yesterday, Li San asked for leave, saying that he had to go back for a few days because of urgent matters at home. I'm not on duty today, so you can pretend to be him."

"Success!" Knowing Li San's appearance, Zuo Hengqiu hurriedly changed his clothes, and while facing the bronze mirror and wiping the disguise on his face, he asked, "Is life safe in the city these few days?"

Master Guo guarded the door and looked out the window to watch out for him: "It's nothing wrong."

"Report—" A yamen servant ran over in a hurry, and shouted at Mr. Guo at the window: "Master, a team of soldiers came at the door, saying that they are here to track down the wanted criminals, and they want to see our magistrate!"

Master Guo's expression froze: "What wanted criminal?!"

"It's that red thing..."

Zuo Hengqiu almost changed his face, and when he heard this, his expression also changed.

Master Guo waved his hand: "Understood, don't disturb Mr. Zhang first, you go and stabilize them first, I'll go over and have a look!"

"Yes!" The yamen servant turned his head and trotted again.

Zuo Hengqiu followed Mr. Guo to the gate of the mansion in a hurry, when he saw the tall man sitting on the horse, his face was calm, but his heart was truly astonished!

-------

"Song Mingchong? Why is he here again?" Nie Yunhan said angrily, "Why does this man linger!"

It was late at night again, with the bright moon hanging high, he and Zhuo Yingxian met Zuo Hengqiu again in the forest in the mountains, and when they heard Song Mingchong's name, they felt a little headache for no reason.

Zuo Hengqiu said: "I also find it strange that he is obviously going to let us go, why is he acting like a follower, following wherever he goes, it is too considerate to say that he is escorting us. He told Mr. Zhang that he had received information , I was told that we were active here, so I chased it all the way.”

"Could it be that the imperial court put pressure on him?" Zhuo Yingxian asked, "After all, the red boa is a soldier of Tangzhou Mansion."

Nie Yunhan sneered: "Even if this is the case, there is no need for all of him to go out in person to hunt down the murderer, leaving the huge Tangzhou alone? But I am curious, where did this information come from. Brother Kong They definitely won’t betray us, if the Guiliang Mansion were aware of it, wouldn’t the whole city be arresting us long ago? They wouldn’t be so calm!”

"Didn't you suspect that Song Mingchong sent someone to follow us before? The so-called intelligence is just an excuse." Zuo Hengqiu said, "This person keeps an eye on us every step of the way, showing up at the most critical details every time, you really Don't you think there's something wrong with him?"

Nie Yunhan wiped his face distractedly: "Song Mingchong was originally from Tangzhou Mansion. Many years ago, the Duyu people broke through the border, slaughtered the people, and killed his whole family. Picked it up and kept it for a few years, took the martial arts exam, and finally passed the martial arts exam in high school, and was promoted step by step until he reached the same level as Han Fang today. How many soldiers and horses?"

"That's not much. With the court's law, he didn't dare to bring too many people, but it was only a small team of a dozen people. I also checked around Guiliangfu City, and there were no hidden soldiers."

Zhuo Yingxian asked: "He has a close relationship with Commander Han, could he be sent by Commander Han?"

Zuo Hengqiu shook his head in denial: "It's not like that, if that's the case, Commander Han will tell me that there's no need to go around in the middle."

"Damn, what the hell is this guy doing here?! If it's not that I can't get away, I really want to meet him for a while!" Nie Yunhan paced back and forth like a trapped beast, "After he arrived at Guiliang Mansion, what did he do? "

Zuo Hengqiu said: "He came in the name of catching fugitives. Naturally, the whole city is on guard. The third squad and six houses are all used, and the soldiers he brought are searched door to door. It is said that if there is not enough, they will have to go to the Songchang Mansion. Du Si borrowed soldiers. But don't worry, I have arrangements for Yu Shu, I'm the guard of the yamen, and I won't be under investigation, as long as Song Mingchong doesn't run into me personally, it won't be a big problem."

"Well, I'll leave the matter over there to you. By the way, what's the result of meeting Han Fang this time?"

"I tried a few words, he really didn't know anything about Wulingdu, and this time I met him privately, I met two friends." Zuo Hengqiu paused, "Kong Tan and Ling Qingbi also went , the Korean side knew that I met them at Wulingdu, so they gathered us together for a secret talk."

Zhuo Ying said leisurely: "It seems that Brother Kong is worried that someone is using the name of Han Fang and Xi Ni behind his back, and specially went to remind him, this way the three parties get together and testify to each other, naturally they can confide in each other and dispel doubts."

"Yes, I've made up my mind after meeting Commander Han this time. Don't worry, old Nie. He said that Liang Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Songchang Mansion Capital. If there is anything wrong, feel free to report it. He happened to send troops justifiably."

Nie Yunhan didn't seem to relax at all, and he muttered to himself: "Han Fang suddenly took office in the capital of Songchang Mansion, and Song Mingchong came to Liang Mansion to chase us out of nowhere, and said that if there were not enough soldiers, he would go to the capital of Songchang Mansion Borrowing soldiers, isn't this borrowing soldiers from Han Fang? Then why didn't he tell Han Fang, but came here in person? Does this mean that he doesn't trust Han Fang? If Han Fang is fine, so... Song Mingchong really has question?!"

His expression was sleepy, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be restless as if he had stayed up for a few nights, and after chanting a few words, he became even more restless.

Zuo Hengqiu looked at Zhuo Yingxian again, and saw that this gentleman who dressed himself as neatly as possible on weekdays was also the same as Nie Yunhan at this moment, his eyes were blue, his hair was a little messy, and his robe was also stained a lot. Less soil, hearing Nie Yunhan's words, also fell into deep thought.

Seeing their appearance like this, Zuo Hengqiu couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Nie Yunhan walked back and forth for a few times, and then asked Zuo Hengqiu: "Why Commander Han was suddenly transferred to the capital of Songchang Mansion, do you know about this?"

"I have heard a little bit." Zuo Hengqiu said, "I heard that the court is a bit chaotic. The crown prince just suppressed King Fu's power, and he is afraid that other younger brothers will appear to covet his seat. It seems that... he has moved the heart to force the emperor to abdicate. It’s better to sit in the big position as soon as possible. The old emperor has a strong body and doesn’t want to leave so early, but after picking up his sons, only the crown prince is the only one who has become a weapon, so he doesn’t want to abolish him, and he is determined to compete with him. Sit on the throne for a few more years, and secondly teach the prince another lesson—how should I put it, fight at the top and suffer at the bottom.”

"Well, it turned out to be like this. The original commander of the capital of the Songchang Mansion was the prince. Party?" Nie Yunhan sneered, "It seems that the prince is still too young! But speaking of it, Song Mingchong...is the prince's man ?”

"This is just an inference, and it is not accurate."

"Forget it, we don't care who he is, we don't care about the affairs above, and we don't want to get involved!"

Zhuo Yingxian stood aside and listened, feeling that the court hall was really messed up, his son wanted to rebel against Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu was afraid that the country would be entrusted to him by others, so he could only swallow his anger, but from this point of view, the old emperor is not too bad ?At least he knows how to consider for the common people.

But the prince couldn't bear his temper, and wanted to force his father to abdicate, how could his character be so high?

Is it really okay to hand over the country to this kind of person?

If it is true what Zuo Hengqiu said, the old emperor selected this guy only after pulling out the generals, and he was unwilling to kill the filial piety of the emperor and ministers, how unbearable would the rest be?

Can the Dayao royal family still do it? !

Nie Yunhan's eyes were bloodshot, and he said nothing with a gloomy face. Zuo Hengqiu couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you have a good rest these days? Exploring the mountains wouldn't be so tiring. The enemy attacked?"

"That's not true." Nie Yunhan hesitated to speak, his expression was a bit more hesitant.

Zuo Hengqiu asked again: "Have you finished exploring this mountain? Are you going back? It seems that you haven't found it yet?"

"I found it, but Haqin's lair is not on the mountain." Nie Yunhan briefly told Zuo Hengqiu the situation in the past few days.

Zuo Hengqiu showed shock on his face: "Twelve chain locks?! He actually used this array!"

"Forget it, I guess what he thinks." Nie Yunhan waved his hand wearily.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Let me think about it, let me think about it."

Zuo Hengqiu suddenly remembered something, and glanced at Zhuo Yingxian: "By the way, Lao Nie, Ah Xian, Brother Kong said that Duan Zhanmei is dead."

Hearing this name, Zhuo Yingxian was startled, feeling that what happened in Wulingdu seemed like a lifetime ago: "How did you die?"

"Brother Kong made a lot of trouble on him, and then handed him over to the leader of Shui Pixiu. I heard that he was executed according to the gang rules." Zuo Hengqiu said, "The gang rules are three knives and six holes, but it's up to him. The six holes use a hunting knife with a gut hook, two holes for the heart, four holes for the stomach, and three holes for the neck and two holes for the thigh, using... a guillotine."

According to this, Duan Zhanmei's intestines were pierced first, and then his body was dismembered. The remaining pile of rotten meat must not end well.

Nie Yunhan frowned in pain when he heard it: "So cruel?"

Zhuo Yingxian didn't speak, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

As said before, he didn't care much about other people, and his hatred was only for that conscientious father. Even though Duan Zhanmei had tortured him, he didn't have the time to share any resentment with this person.

It's too tiring to hate someone, there's no need for it.

Since he didn't hate him, he didn't feel happy about the other party's death, and when he heard that Duan Zhanmei died so badly, he felt a little more compassion for no reason.

After all, this person is someone that brother Xiaosheng loved. If he is so disgraceful after knowing that he is dead, brother Xiaosheng will be sad.

However, soon, Zhuo Yingxian felt that he had put Miao Sheng's emotions too much, and jumped out to see that Duan Zhanmei was treacherous, cruel and cruel, and he was not good to Brother Xiaosheng, he committed his own crimes and couldn't live, so why feel sorry for him!

He couldn't help but sighed softly, and thought, finally it's a bad fate.

Nie Yunhan squeezed his hand: "It is indeed too miserable, but he deserved what he deserved."

Zhuo Ying smiled casually: "Well, I just think of Brother Xiaosheng and feel embarrassed. Fortunately, when he wakes up, he won't remember these things anymore."

After that, Nie Yunhan pulled Zuo Hengqiu and asked some trifling matters before walking back with Zhuo Yingxian.

Walking halfway, Nie Yunhan accidentally stepped on a protruding rock, staggered and was supported by Zhuo Yingxian.

"Brother Han, you..." Zhuo Yingxian saw that he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he was so dazed that he couldn't help worrying, but the words were so weak, what else could he say, so that he wouldn't be sad or anxious?It seems useless.

Nie Yunhan stood firm, patted Zhuo Yingxian's hand to show relief, tried to force a smile, but failed, and just said dryly: "It's okay, I'm distracted."

Zhuo Yingxian took his hand and interlocked his fingers: "I'm holding you."

Nie Yunhan was startled, and finally laughed: "Okay, don't let go."

"Never let go."

The two just walked hand in hand like this, walking slowly, no one said anything, but their hearts were quiet, until they came to the cave not far from the camp, watching the extinguishing fire, Nie Yunhan suddenly froze foot.

Zhuo Yingxian stopped and looked at him quietly.

"Remember? The morning we set off for Nanzhi Peak, I told you that I felt a little scared."

"Well, remember."

Nie Yunhan smiled wryly: "Thinking about it now, I was afraid a little early, and now I am more flustered than then."

"Brother Han, anger, sadness, fear, these three emotions, which one do you dislike the most?" Zhuo Yingxian asked suddenly.

Nie Yunhan thought for a while and said frankly: "I don't like to be afraid the most, because it makes me feel powerless and out of control, and makes me feel... very useless."

Zhuo Yingxian understood that from the moment he admitted his fear to himself, he dared to expose his true emotions to others, which was already a big step for him.

It is full trust.

During his two years in prison, Nie Yunhan digested the pain of losing a loved one alone, chewed and swallowed the grievance and heartache that had no place to rest, and pretended to be a complete self, because he still had tasks It's not finished, and he still has revenge.

But the past two years have had an impact on him. He used to be fearless, clear-minded, and decisive in making decisions, but now he is full of worries. For some problems, he even wants to avoid them rather than delve into them. Dare to believe others, even dare not believe in yourself-a person who leads the army loses self-confidence and suffers repeatedly in self-doubt all day long, this is the most deadly thing!

Trauma is easy to heal, heart disease is difficult to heal, Zhuo Yingxian is not a god, he can't cast a spell to heal the wound in Nie Yunhan's heart, and he can't cast beans into soldiers to solve the immediate predicament for the other party, so what he can do, I can only endure the pain and push the other party.

"Fear comes from the unknown, right?" Zhuo Yingxian looked at him and said softly, "If you don't face it, the fear will always exist. When you really face the result or the truth, you may be angry, you may There will be sadness, maybe both, but you won't be afraid anymore."

Nie Yunhan's eyes flashed a rare look of bewilderment, his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Zhuo Yingxian covered the arrow wound on his right chest: "The wound can only be healed if the arrow is pulled out. If you don't pull out the arrow, the wound will only fester forever."

"Knowledge is easier than practice, sweetheart, A Xian." Nie Yunhan pressed his hand, squeezed it hard, and laughed at himself, "It's so useless, I feel a little embarrassing. But no matter what, I'm already You're the one, you can't be disgusted."

Zhuo Ying smiled casually: "Don't worry, a wife who is a mess will not go to court."

This article is not an article about power and strategy. It is just a matter of the court. After all, things are universally connected. There will be big bosses behind the events of the past and now, so I need to mention it.
