On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, compared with the bustle of Xu Fan's mansion, Chen Xilie's mansion, as the prime minister of the dynasty, was very deserted.

The snow in the sky gradually became heavier, and it fell in the wide but quiet courtyard, which made it even more lonely.

However, this loneliness and loneliness are much more angry than the previous two days.

On that day, the crown prince failed, the tree fell and scattered, and the relatives, friends, and old friends who had climbed over because of Chen Xilie's ascension to the top of the prime minister almost immediately fled after hearing the news, and they were the servants of the family.

"Madam, tomorrow you will go to Yaxing, and you don't want any of the subordinates who don't return that day!"

There were several low tables in the warm room, the tables were full of wine and food, and his wife and children sat at the tables Chinese New Year's Eve.

"In the future, our family won't need so many people!" he said and turned his head to the old man standing next to him and smiled: "Uncle Chen, you will have to work harder in the future!"

"The master said and laughed, it's all what we should do. The old man bowed slightly.

"Okay!" Chen Xilie said cheerfully: "Seeing the truth in adversity, it is still the old man of his own family who can be relied on!"

"In the future, relatives who come to the door can stay for a few days as guests, and all those who ask for officials will be sent back!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay, everyone has worked hard these days, let's make up for a good year tonight!"

……

After the banquet was over, Chen Xilie returned to the study, and Chen Bo made a cup of strong tea, and then withdrew softly.

"How's it going?" Chen Xilie took a sip of tea soup and said lightly.

"It's almost connected!" A white-clothed staff member sat on the left-hand side, and said with a beard: "This time, Xu Fan is definitely going to face Li Linfu, it can be regarded as our alliance, plus Xiao Jiong, our side is almost the same!"

Chen Xilie nodded slowly, and then asked, "What about the Criminal Department? Has the approval come down?"

"The Criminal Department is Li Linfu's territory, and it is a little difficult to avoid their ears and eyes, but this time the people we are looking for happen to be dissatisfied with them, and we will probably have results tomorrow!"

"I don't want to be probab!" Chen Xilie said solemnly: "Wait one more day to increase the risk, we are already a lot slower, we can't drag it out any longer!"

"You go in person! No matter what the cost, I will get the results early tomorrow morning!" After the incident with the crown prince, Chen Xilie has changed a lot, and he does not expect anything from others, nor does he put his fate in the hands of others.

"Okay, Xiangye!" The white-clothed staff was surprised by Chen Xilie's change, and his expression became more and more respectful.

Outside the door, in the empty hallway, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

The door to the study was pushed open, and a man in a gray robe broke in, and the wind and snow were getting heavier, blowing up the carbon fire in the stove.

"Xiangye, it's not good!"

"Don't panic!" Chen Xilie frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

"The people of Neiwei and Yulinwei have taken away those students and the children of various families!"

"What?" the white-clothed staff member stood up in shock and shouted, "How can this be?

Chen Xilie looked at the panicked white-clothed staff, and lamented in his heart: "Don't say that it is compared with Qian Kaiyang, even Shi Nanting is far behind!"

"What's the panic!" Chen Xilie shouted, and asked lightly at the gray-robed man: "What's wrong, tell me more about it!"

"Yes, Xiangye!"

The gray-robed man quickly recounted what had just happened.

"How is this possible?"

"How so?"

"That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?"

The white-clothed staff was amazed.

Chen Xilie pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "What is there to make a fuss about, this shows that Your Majesty has been prepared for a long time......

"But in this way, those students can't be used by Xiangye!"

"It's okay! Your Majesty is so aggressive, the Holy Will is clear, we just need to keep up with Your Majesty's pace!"

"That'...... Over there at the Criminal Department?"

"Give the money, take the things, and then find a way to let Li Linfu know!"

"I want to get away with it...... Xiangye, high!

On the long street, the wind and snow splashed heavily, Xu Chen held an umbrella, and the boys and girls walked silently.

"Just ......"

"Is he your friend?"

"Who?"

"Xiao Yan, I was also by your side when I was in Yuzhang before......"

"Oh, yes, we grew up together!"

"Oh......" Xu Chen was silent for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "That's a childhood sweetheart?"

"Huh?" the girl paused for a moment, and then quickly shook her head: "No! It's just that we grew up together, he is the youngest, and he always likes to follow us, just like my younger brother, I ...... We've always treated him as a little brother......"

The girl fell silent as she spoke, and couldn't help shouting in her heart: "Oh, Tang Xuexue, what are you talking about? Is it necessary to explain......? What do you want......

"Actually, I think it's really good to have a friend who has played since childhood!" Xu Chen turned his head, looked at Tang Xuexue who bowed his head and was silent, and smiled: "I'm envious!"

The girl raised her head and looked at him, "Don't you have many brothers?"

"Uh...... Of course they're closer than friends!" Xu Chen was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "It's just that those friends from my childhood will never see each other again......"

Smile, a little lonely.

The "......" girl seemed to have a feeling: "Growing up, there will always be some price." ”

"Everyone has their own way, and it is inevitable that they will be separated as we walk, but as long as we have the opportunity, we may meet somewhere in the future. ”

Xu Chen smiled and nodded silently.

It's late at night, there are few people on the long street, this year's New Year has been a little bumpy, twists and turns, fortunately, the people of Chang'an have not seen it, they can't play on the street, and they are still lively when they go home behind closed doors.

The night wind rolled up the snowflakes and hit the girl's face, and the girl couldn't help but pull the collar and wrap the white coat on her body tightly.

Xu Chen glanced to the left, quietly changed the umbrella to his right hand, the left hand in the sleeve of the robe kept clenching his fist, while peeking at the girl next to him, he raised his arm lightly, wanted to stretch it out, but put it down, and so on, so that he was not entangled.

"Uh...... That one...... Are you cold? I can't find a car at night......"

The girl turned her head, her red face facing the wind and snow, and looked at the young man, a smile flashed in her eyes.

"Do you have practiced the exercises when you wear so little?" he didn't answer, but asked.

"Uh...... Sort of!" Xu Chen pointed to the collar of the underwear exposed on his chest, and said with a smile: "But the main thing is that this lining is good, warm in winter and cool in summer, to ensure comfort!"

"Really?" the girl looked at him, a little incredulous.

"Of course, you can go back...... Try ......" As he spoke, Xu Chen turned his head away.

"Uh...... Okay!" Tang Xuejun said with a smile: "It's really the first time I've seen someone give a gift like this......"

"The main thing is that the effect is good!" Xu Chen hurriedly said: "No matter winter or summer, one inside and outside like me is enough, and you can save ...... It's bloated!"

The love of beauty is irresistible to every woman.

"Oh, that's okay!" Tang Xuejun nodded, thought about it, and said, "Then I'll go back and try!"

"Uh-huh!" Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The lining sent out is naturally not an ordinary color, the outer layer is just a skin that can be seen by the outside world, but there is a thin demon beast skin hidden inside, warm in winter and cool in summer is secondary, the key is the effect of protection, even if you put on it with ten thousand arrows, you will be fine.

Of course, how to send gloves and masks out is also a problem, but even if the problem is in the future, now that it is interrupted by this, the little intention in Xu Chen's heart has almost disappeared, and his left hand has to be honestly put down, wanting to change the umbrella back, but he is worried that it will be too obvious and contrived......

In fact, when it comes to falling in love, Xu Chen really doesn't have much experience, and some of the so-called flirting skills are mostly learned through various channels, and there are few opportunities to really practice.

As for the purposeful encounter and purposeful relationship with Yang Ziyun, in the end, the girl's dedication to him and his response, and being in a strange and dangerous environment, everything came so naturally, it seemed to come naturally.

There doesn't seem to be much of a "talking" process either......

At this moment, Xu Chen was really like an ordinary teenager, and he was in a hurry.

There is only one single piece of clothing on the body except for underwear, even if it is taken off to the girl, it is useless, the roadside stall has already been collected, even if you want to buy a hat, you can't find a seller, there are a lot of things in the small box on your waist, but as soon as you take it out, I am afraid it will turn into dust and disappear with the wind.

"That's stupid! next time you should bring everything with you, you have to think about everything!"

Xu Chen blamed himself, so he had to move all the umbrellas to withstand the growing wind and snow for the girl.

"It's snowy, let's go faster!" Xu Chen hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't I carry you?"

"Huh?" The girl was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook her head: "No need, I'm not so squeamish!"

As she spoke, the girl's steps quickened.

"Oh......" loss is always inevitable.

In the wind and snow, the young man is working hard for love, and in the dim light, countless elderly people are thinking and meditating because of the emperor's thunderous shot.

"Holy Lord, what is this going to do?"

"Have all the people been arrested? Have any of them come back?"

"It shouldn't be! Although it is indeed an opportunity, but the variables are too great, he will not have to start a war against all the families at this time, right?"

"The people on the prince's side haven't dealt with it yet, and now they are going to war against us, is he old and confused?"

"It's not right, the power of our family is staggered, whether it is Li Linfu or Xu Fan, or there is no one under Chen Xilie who does not have us, it is the prince who started the incident a few days ago, don't we also speculate?"

"In this case, who is the emperor going to deal with? Who does he dare to deal with?"

"I can't figure it out, it doesn't make sense!"

"Hehe, could it be that a million army appeared out of thin air in his hands, ready to wipe out us in one fell swoop? What are you kidding, can he do it?"

"The family has lasted for thousands of years, no emperor can be wiped out, a batch is poured, and the next batch will rise again, for the emperor, as long as the family is obedient, what difference does it make if it doesn't fall?"

"Yes, it makes no difference to the Emperor, but it makes a big difference to us!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Heh, don't forget, in addition to fighting with the emperor and fighting with the cold door, we have more ...... It's fighting with ourselves!"
