Chapter 20: Nightmares
Bai Qi is the son of Dong Guifei, the favorite concubine of the first emperor, who looks easy-going and elegant, harmless to people and animals, but in fact the city is very deep.
Shen Xiang has always been well versed in the way of being an official, he is cautious and cautious, and there are few mistakes, he has only planted two heels in his life, one of which is from Bai Qi.
Bai Qi is an idle prince with no real power, but he has always loved to recruit talents, there are many guests in the house, and he has a wide range of contacts between the DPRK and China.
In other words, although Bai Qi has no power in his hands, he has attracted a large number of civilian and military generals, and it is worth mentioning that Liu Jian is one of them.
Bai Qi behaved cynically, but how many people could know what he was thinking.
Yes, after Shen Ruojiao saw him, she silently lowered her head and tightened her veil.
They stand opposite each other, and she can't be debunked here.
Despite this, Bai Qi still walked straight to her and stood still in front of her, with great interest: "In this Qijing City, there are only a handful of girls who can have such courage and insight." ”
Shen Ruojiao lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, silently, as if someone else had just been reprimanded on the street.
Fortunately, Bai Qi didn't dwell too much, and after leaving a meaningful look, he passed past Shen Ruojiao.
Shen Ruojiao breathed a long sigh of relief and silently retreated from the crowd.
Qi Zhen, who had been silent since just now, also followed, and asked behind her, "Why are you so angry?"
Shen Ruojiao paused, turned around and asked, "Why can't I be angry?"
Qi Zhen looked at her fixedly: "Whether this Qi Dynasty is clear or dark, whether it is surnamed Bai or Liu, what does it have to do with you?"
It was a great rebellion, and it came out of his mouth, but it was as if he were just talking about the weather.
Shen Ruojiao was silent, and said after a while: "It really doesn't matter what the surname is in this world, but once the country changes hands, the Qi Dynasty will inevitably go through darkness." Do you know how long it took the first emperor to quell the rebellion of the Hu tribe in the northwest?"
Without waiting for Qi Zhen's reply, she said quickly: "For seven years, in seven years, the entire north has become a pot of porridge, and a large number of displaced people have crossed to the south, dragging down the originally rich Jiangnan. Imperial power, for King Jingyang, is a game, a bargaining chip, and for the people, it is a talisman. ”
Qi Zhen was stunned for a moment, realized something, and just wanted to speak, Shen Ruojiao turned his back and said in a low voice: "It's me who is rude, I told you this, how can you understand?"
After finishing speaking, Shen Ruojiao walked quickly to the market, Qi Zhen looked at the thin figure, his eyes were full of distress.
How could he not understand it, that desperate experience was the participation of him and her, and it was also from that time that the inexplicable seeds were planted in the young man's heart, and after gradually growing into a towering tree, he realized that this was infatuation.
He also thought that Shen Ruojiao had forgotten it a long time ago, and he had always been worried about it.
But seeing that she was still suffering from that nightmare, he hoped that she would forget.
Even if she even forgets about him with her, as long as she doesn't get hurt by it.
Qi Zhen sighed and chased after him quickly.
"Lady, the real servant is waiting on the north side of the street. He spoke softly, for fear of startling the beauty.
But Shen Ruojiao had already recovered his previous appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and said indifferently: "No need, you and I are just meeting in Pingshui, how can I accept your gift." ”
Qi Zhen didn't give up: "It's really the lady's life-saving benefactor, the lady accepts the real gift, and the bento is a real thank you, what does the lady think?"
Shen Ruojiao was stunned, she had never heard of such an algorithm, and receiving gifts as a thank you gift was really a precedent that had never been seen since ancient times.
But after he claimed to be a benefactor, no matter what position she had, she couldn't refuse again, otherwise she would be ungrateful.
But it's okay to clear up the grievances today, so as not to cause complications in the future.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruojiao also agreed.
It had only been delayed for a while, and it was already timely, and there were few people in the market.
Shen Ruojiao and Qi Zhen walked side by side like this, and suddenly remembered a neat and orderly footsteps at the corner in front of them.
Shen Ruojiao followed the prestige, it was a team of guards.
The person at the head, Shen Ruojiao recognized.
"Lord Luo. Shen Ruojiao called him.
Luo Ji was introduced to the Prime Minister's Mansion by her, and she didn't have time to ask about Luo Ji's condition after she returned home, and now it seems that he is the leader of the Prime Minister's Mansion's escort.
As for why he appeared here, it must be that my brother learned that she was separated, and in a hurry, he directly sent a guard team out to look for her.
Luo Ji saw that she was safe and sound, and finally put her mind at ease, and was so embarrassed by this title that her face was red, and she lowered her head and said: "Niangniang has tormented the villain, thanks to Niangniang, the villain can not violate his conscience and protect his family, and now he also gives the villain a good errand, and the villain is willing to marry the grass title ring as a reward." ”
Seeing him so solemn, Shen Ruojiao was quite surprised, but fortunately, she finally didn't see the wrong person.
"If you do a good job, it will be a reward for me, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the guards of the inner court are naturally incomparable, but they are inferior to Lord Luo. ”
Luo Ji thought that Shen Ruojiao regretted it, and his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said: "No, even if the villain is a slave or a servant, he will not give up." ”
Shen Ruojiao smiled: "Only by settling down in advance can you make a life, if there is a good opportunity, Lord Luo must not be confined to this subsection, and on the day of Lord Luo's grand exhibition, I can also be honored." ”
Luo Ji was stunned when he heard it, Shen Guifei already had great kindness to him, and now she persuaded him not to forget his ambitions and ambitions, which made him admire and respect him even more.
Shen Ruojiao looked at Qi Zhen with a little apology: "Qi Gongzi, Ruojiao has been delayed for too long, and the family sent someone to look for it, in order to avoid worrying his family, Ruojiao had to say goodbye first, and Qi Gongzi's kindness, Ruojiao will definitely report it again." ”
Qi Zhen, who listened to all the conversations between the two, didn't seem to be shocked by her identity.
Qi Zhen lowered his head, couldn't see clearly, and was silent for a moment before he said: "So, I really don't dare to bother, the night is dark, and the lady is careful on the road." ”
Guo Kui stood in a corner of the market with a lantern, motionless, like a big stone.
Passers-by looked sideways and pointed, but he was unmoved.
Until I saw Qi Zhen's figure.
Guo Kui held the lantern above his head and wanted to salute.
As soon as the emperor spoke, he was glared back by an eye knife.
"Lord, flowers, lanterns. ”
"Thrown. He was a little angry.
"Yes. ”
Although it took Guo Kui a lot of effort to get his hands on it, the Lord commanded it, and he carried it out.
Guo Kui just turned around and was stopped by Qi Zhen again.
"Forget it, take it back. ”
The lamp was painted with a lifelike red plum, just like her, dazzling.
It's a pity that it didn't reach her.
Qi Zhen took a deep look at the lantern, as if he was seeing through the layers of skin and bones, through Shen Ruoyao's heart.
After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and walked towards Chao'anmen.
With one hand, he peeled off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his handsome appearance with a clear outline.
