The Governor's Mansion is located in the west section of Dongzheng Street, covering an area of about 134 acres, with the government office in front and the inner house in the back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Du Yan stood in the Governor's Mansion and looked up. In the middle of the high door, there is a wide plaque horizontally, on which are written "Benzhou Governor's Mansion" five black and gold characters. The font is majestic, the pen is like a knife, and the strokes between the words are awe-inspiring.

Under the plaque is the vermilion lacquer gate, and the door is a bright golden door. There are ten steps under the door, and there are white marble railings on both sides of the steps. On both sides of the gate were two two-person tall stone lions, staring at each other, and they were very majestic.

On the steps stood two Zhigo guards, their bodies as straight as javelins. At the foot of the stairs, two other guards with long knives at their waists walked back and forth in the doorway.

Du Yan stood for a moment, stepped forward and saluted one of the guards patrolling down the steps, and said, "This lord, dare to ask the governor if he can be in the mansion?"

The guards looked him up and down, "The governor has gone to patrol the camp, not in the mansion." ”

"Do you know when you'll be back?" Du Yan asked again.

"You old man, I don't even know when the governor will come back, so how can I know?" said the guard, grimacing.

"That being the case, let's wait here. Du Yan was a little dumbfounded.

The guard pointed to the opposite corner of the wall and motioned for Du Yan to go over.

Du Yan squatted in the corner of the wall until the sun was in the middle of the sky, the sun was shining warmly on his body, and he was almost asleep.

It was almost noon, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard from far and near, but in the blink of an eye, a group of ten or so horses swept like a violent wind.

The leader has a yellow horse under his crotch, dressed in bright silver armor, and his person is like a dragon, and his momentum is like a rainbow.

It was Dugu Shaotang, the governor of Bianzhou.

The people behind him were also fierce, and their momentum was surging like a raging tide.

The group dismounted in front of the Governor's Mansion, and their movements were neat and uniform. Although there were only a dozen people, they were like thousands of troops, and the killing spirit came to their faces.

Du Yan calmed down, stepped forward and raised his hand in front of Dugu Shaotang, bowed deeply, stood up straight, leaned his back slightly, and said: "Villain Du Yan, see the governor." ”

Dugu Shaotang looked back at him, his expression was light, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The day before yesterday, Domont Governor rescued him, and the villain came to repay his kindness. Du Yan said respectfully.

Dugu Shaotang said coldly: "No need, it's not my wish to save you, it's just that I can't bear to be sad for the little girl." ”

As he spoke, he handed the reins of his horse to the servant and strode to the door.

It's really hurtful for this governor to speak, Du Yan said secretly. Seeing Dugu Shaotang's footsteps walking forward without stopping, he hurriedly shouted: "More than 20 years ago, in Gyeongju, the villain had a relationship with the governor. ”

Dugu Shaotang turned his head suddenly, his eyes were like cold electricity, he looked Du Yan up and down, was silent for a while, and said, "Come in." ”

Du Yan was overjoyed, walked a few steps quickly, and followed Dugu Shaotang into the gate.

Dugu Shaotang took him past the front office and went directly to the study of the second courtyard. Da Ma Jindao sat down on the chair and spit out two words lightly: "Say! What do you want to do?"

Du Yan took a step forward, knelt down in front of Dugu Shaotang, kowtowed, and said, "The villain has received the great favor of the young lady, and there is no way to repay it." I am willing to be a slave in the house and protect the safety of the young lady. ”

"Protect my daughter?What a big tone, how capable are you?How dare you speak out like this?" Dugu Shaotang sneered.

Du Yan knew that his empty white teeth were indeed difficult to impress, so he said: "The governor visited Gyeongju more than 20 years ago, but do you still remember what happened when Gyeongju was too guarded?"

As he spoke, Du Yan looked up at Dugu Shaotang, and secretly sighed in his heart, the impulsive and righteous young man in the guest house in the south of the city back then is now enough to guard the party.

After so many years, there is only one side, and it is really not easy for Du Yan to remember him.

When he happened to hear the conversation between the old man and Dugu Shaotang, saying that the old lady was still waiting in the army, he thought at that time, such a child in brocade clothes is about the descendant of which general.

If it weren't for today's little third son mentioning that Dugu Shaotang is Dugu Zhongzhi's grandson, he wouldn't have remembered this stubble.

It has been more than 20 years, and Dugu Shaotang also thought about it for a while before asking: "It is the Taishou Mansion that is rumored to be haunted in the mansion and later burned down by the whole family?"

Du Yan smiled slightly, quite proud, "From the rumor that Taishou Mansion is haunted, to his whole family being burned to death, it was all done by the villain." ”

Dugu Shaotang was a little surprised at this time, "Oh", "There are some means......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a clear child's voice, "Is Daddy back?"

One person at the door replied, "If you go back to Miss, the governor has just returned." ”

Before this person's words fell, Dugu Weiwei's small figure had already stepped into the door, and the milk swallow threw herself into Dugu Shaotang's arms, and said with a small face: "Why did Daddy come back, I've been waiting for you for a long time, have you eaten?"

Dugu Shaotang had a doting smile on his face, and Du Yan was also eye-opening, just now it was as cold as ice, and his eyebrows stretched in an instant, and his smile was thick. The speed at which the governor changed his face was truly astonishing.

I only heard Dugu Shaotang's voice like a spring breeze in March: "Not yet, what delicious food did the kitchen make today?"

"I asked people to make braised pork and wait for my father to come back to eat, and it was heated twice, but it was delicious, and I taught it to the cook......

She didn't wait for Dugu Shaotang to answer, she waved her little hand, and Ding Ding came in with a food box and Dangdang.

Ding Ding put the food box on the table, and helped take out a plate of red and shiny meat inside, put white rice and a few plates of vegetarian dishes, and set up chopsticks.

"Daddy, try it, I taught the cook. Dugu Weiwei handed the chopsticks to Dugu Shaotang, urging with anticipation.

Dugu Shaotang touched his daughter's head, took the chopsticks and put a piece of meat in his mouth, chewed it twice, his eyes lit up, and praised: "Not bad, not bad, sweet and salty, fragrant and rich, this is the best meat my father has ever eaten." We're really capable!"

Dugu Shaotang praised his daughter, and raised his chin almost undetectably at Du Yan. Du Yan understood, quickly stood up, and bowed to the side.

With this move, Dugu Weiwei immediately noticed him. She said "Huh-----" and said, "Isn't this the old uncle of that day?

Du Yan said with a smile: "Thank you Miss for your concern, it's already so neat." ”

"Oh, that's great! Sit, sit, uncle, and try the braised pork, I'm sure you've never eaten it before." Ding Ding, go to the kitchen and serve a bowl of rice to this old uncle. ”

Du Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Miss, the villain has had lunch." Don't dare to bother this girl. ”

Ding Ding looked back at Dugu Weiwei and waited for her to decide.

Dugu Weiwei said: "In this case, let's taste a few pieces of meat." ”

Ding Ding hurriedly picked up a few pieces of meat and put them on a small plate for Du Yan to serve.

Du Yan understood the child's eagerness to perform, and tasted it obediently, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his face was full of surprise, and he praised sincerely: "The villain can be regarded as a person who has traveled south and north, has seen the world, and has never eaten such a delicious thing." ”

What Du Yan said is not a compliment, before the Great Zhou Dynasty, wars were frequent and life was turbulent. Finally, the empress established the Great Zhou, but her descendants of the monarchs were not talented, and the frontier was in turmoil for many years, resulting in the decline of national strength.

The so-called cangli knows etiquette, survival is difficult, it is a fluke to survive, how can he have the ability to pursue etiquette, study food and clothing?

Although the world is peaceful, after all, there are not many years, and the whole country is still recuperating, and it is far from the point where you can never get tired of eating.

And because the current food is not abundant, the seasoning is also lacking, and the cooking methods are simple, so even in large households and high-end restaurants, it is impossible to make such a fragrant, fatty but not greasy meat.

"Yes, yes......" Dugu Weiwei's small face lit up. She knew that he was not lying, and that his facial expression was relaxed when he spoke, and his pupils did not change, which was a sign of sincerity.

She said in a loud voice: "I just said that the braised pork is very delicious and delicious, but my mother just doesn't let me eat pork, and she says that pork is dirty meat, and everyone doesn't eat it." I have used all the martial arts of the eighteenth class, and my mother reluctantly agreed. ”

She chattered and said, her voice was as crisp as a pearl falling on a jade plate, her spirit was flying, and her eyebrows were dancing.

"There are also eighteen kinds of martial arts, which eighteen kinds of martial arts have you used?" Dugu Shaotang pinched his daughter's face affectionately, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"Coquettish, cheating, getting angry, saying good things, patting sycophants, pretending to be pitiful, crying, laughing, pestering, twisting......" Dugu Wei really counted them one by one on his fingers.

Dugu Shaotang laughed, "It's hard for us to maintain our strength." ”

Du Yan couldn't help but wonder, such a beautiful little girl, smart and cute, even he couldn't help but love it when he saw it, not to mention that her father must be cherished as his life.

After laughing for a while, Dugu Weiwei seemed to have just remembered, and asked Du Yandao: "Why is the old man here?

Du Yan glanced at Dugu Shaotang, and when he saw him nodding, he bowed down so that the little girl could communicate with him more easily.

"The villain was sick and dying that day, thanks to meeting the young lady, so that Du Du saved the villain's life. The villain has no home and no room, and he is alone, and he is willing to enter the house as a slave and serve the young lady. ”

Dugu Weiwei listened, thought thoughtfully, but didn't speak, just looked at her father.

Du Yan secretly praised, he is really smart and clever, he knows what he can make up his mind and what he shouldn't interfere with at such a young age.

Dugu Shaotang was noncommittal and said, "Tell me what you did in Gyeongju." ”

When Du Yan heard him say this, he knew that he had some hope, but thinking that he was designing a murderous house in Gyeongju, how could such a thing be said in front of the child. looked at Dugu Weiwei and hesitated.

Dugu Shaotang saw that he could take care of his daughter's young age, and he was a little satisfied, "But it doesn't hurt to say it, people's hearts are sinister, and it doesn't hurt for her to listen to it." My daughter can't just be raised in the boudoir and be a fool who doesn't know anything. ”

Du Yanxin was greatly admired, although this Dugu Shaotang pampered his daughter, he was not blindly pampered. He no longer has any scruples, and tells his name and origin, how his family was ruined and trafficked, and how he grew up to take revenge.

As for the various incidents between going to Wu Di to snatch the scimitar, being injured and fleeing all the way to Benzhou, and about the young son of the last emperor, I have said a word. only said that by chance, he got a scimitar in the dark.

He felt that the stakes were too high to be casual. I secretly wanted to wait for the opportunity to say it alone and Dugu Shaotang knew.

Hearing this, Dugu Wei was dumbfounded for a while, and frowned and entangled for a while. From time to time, he said: "It's really hateful!" "This person is so bad!" "Good job!"

Dugu Shaotang has been listening expressionlessly.
