In the private room of Yunlai Pavilion.

Wen Yanbo gulped down the "Jumbo Duck", his mouth full of oil.

Liu Xinwan smiled, seeing that his friend was not as melancholy as he imagined, and his heart settled down a little.

"Kuanfu ......"

He called softly.

"Humph!"

Wen Yanbo snorted, didn't raise his head, picked up a piece of "Treasure Duck" by himself, put it in his mouth, chewed and chewed with all his might, and made a "tsk" sound.

"It's just a piece of duck meat, you don't need to work so hard, right?" Liu Xin rolled his eyes and said jokingly: "I don't know, I thought you were eating Ge Mincai's meat." “

"That's right," Wen Yanbo was about to pick up the chopsticks for another dish, paused, chewed the meat, and said inarticulately: "I just eat it as his meat, this is enough to relieve hatred, and it is sweet enough!"

Liu Xin shook his head helplessly, and poured a cup of tea for him and himself: "Kuanfu, aren't you angry with us enough?"

"Not enough, far from enough!"

Wen Yanbo slapped his chopsticks on the table, glared at Liu Xin, and then raised his hands and didn't look away.

"Alas......"

Liu Xin sighed heavily, and persuaded patiently: "You all have to move, what else can the three of us do? I can't help you fight him, can we? Besides, what kind of hero is a hero if four fights one? ”

"I'm not mad at this!"

Wen Yanbo turned his head sharply and glared at Liu Xin angrily: "When he was critical of Yushitai, why were you all dumbfounded?"

What Ge Mincai said is actually not unreasonable-the Imperial History Terrace's Taiwan Prison and Imperial History of the Imperial History Observatory overlap with the responsibilities of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and the confusion of power and responsibility, and the prevarication are not something he has arbitrarily framed. Liu Xin paused, stretched out his hand and compared himself: "Besides, you Yushitai always hold on to the Zhongshu Gate on weekdays, nothing is small, and small things become big, I am the governor of the Zhongshu Sect, and I am the governor of the Zhongshu Gate, and I am talking about the Yushitai?"

As he spoke, he shook his head and shook his head, his expression not without complaints.

Wen Yanbo was stunned and couldn't refute it.

Liu Xin asked him again: "You have eaten and slept now, and you don't seem to be very worried?"

"If you don't live in a temple, can't you ask for the people's lives?"

Wen Yanbo asked him rhetorically, and replied to himself: "As long as I don't lose my original intention, even if I am removed from office, what does it matter? ”

He said it up, raised the teacup, tilted his head and drank the cup, wiped the water marks on the corner of his mouth, and said proudly: "I will simply be my deputy editor-in-chief wholeheartedly, make a fortune, and fulfill the promise of "Bianjing Magazine" that 'people's livelihood is no trivial matter'!"

Liu Xin held his cheeks in his hand and looked sideways at Wen Yanbo, his brows furrowed and relaxed. Shaoyan, he muttered almost inaudibly: "So you didn't guess......"

Wen Yanbo sat next to him and heard clearly: "Guess what?"

"No, nothing. Liu Xin came back to his senses and denied it.

"What kind of manly thing is a man?" Wen Yanbo used to agitate the general.

Liu Xin thought about it for a while, and said that it would not hurt to let him know: "The official family will not let you secretly invest in the pearl, and you will be able to reinstate the official soon." ”

"Hmph," Wen Yanbo scoffed: "It's such an acquaintance, why does Brother Chong say such polite words?"

"Believe it or not. Liu Xin didn't bother to argue with him.

Wen Yanbo didn't want to continue the stalemate with Liu Xin, so he took his words and asked casually: "If you really think that I will be reinstated, then what are you worried about?"

"Where am I worried?" Liu Xin sandwiched a piece of sea bass meat and tasted it carefully: "Isn't it also good to eat and drink?"

"It's still okay for you to deceive His Royal Highness and Le Lang, but you want to deceive me?" Wen Yanbo stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "It's a little bit hot." ”

Liu Xin stopped his chopsticks and sighed again: "I'm really worried." ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid...... You are not the only one who has been reinstated. ”

"Well, I understand, I understand!" Wen Yanbo picked up a handful of shredded spring bamboo shoots, put it in his mouth, chewed and said, "Ge Min is right, what are you afraid of? Let me come, I haven't decided the winner with him yet." ”

Liu Xin changed from supporting his cheek to holding his forehead: "What is he afraid of?"

"Yes, yes, he's not scary, next time you deal with him. Wen Yanbo snorted.

Liu Xin plucked the tea with the lid of the cup and asked him, "Do you remember that time in front of the Peony Pavilion, Ge Mincai and Le Lang had a debate about the right to edit the fame?"

Wen Yanbo didn't know why he mentioned this, thought about it for a while, and suddenly froze, and raised his eyebrows to look at Liu Xin: "You were ...... Tell me to beware of his 'bad comers'?"

Liu Xin nodded: "Exactly." ”

"Why?" Wen Yanbo was surprised.

"On that day, he had a tie with Le Lang, but you couldn't even win Le Lang's argument, and he was no longer afraid of you. Liu Xin took a sip of tea and said.

"What does it matter if he is afraid of me or not?"

"If you are not afraid, you will not keep your hands. ”

"Oh?"

"What the overall situation is important, what people's livelihood and social welfare are nothing," Liu Xin said in a firm tone: "He is afraid and pleases those who are stronger than him, and he does his best to attack those who are weaker than himself." Especially you, everyone in the DPRK and China compares you to each other, and if he despises you, he will naturally target you even more. Bullying the weak and fearing the hard, he is talking about him. When you fight him, you have more than one mind, what is so terrible about this kind of unprincipled person?"

"Hey, what kind of people are terrible in your opinion?"

Wen Yanbo couldn't help but feel sick when he thought of Ge Mincai, and he didn't dare to agree with what Liu Xin said.

Liu Xin replied to him: "I'm afraid of the kind of people who are too upright, the kind of people who are stubborn and unwilling to be flexible, and regard stubbornness as that kind of virtue, I really don't have any way to use them." ”

"Oh," Wen Yanbo's eyes widened, "I didn't expect you to be the most afraid of me." ”

"Who said it was you. ”

"And who are you talking about?"

Liu Xin didn't answer him, but looked at the window to the southwest in a daze.

"White Tiger Street?" Wen Yanbo looked in the direction he was looking: "What do you mean...... Cai Xiang?"

Liu Xin rolled his eyes: "I'm looking in the direction of Dengzhou." ”

"Heh, Dengzhou is so far away, why don't you say that you are looking at Dali, Tianzhu or Bagan?" Wen Yanbo retorted angrily, and was suddenly stunned: "Dengzhou, what are you talking about......" He slapped his thigh and said happily: "If the official family calls that person back to the capital, what else is there to worry about?"

Liu Xin sandwiched a piece of "Treasure Duck" into the bowl for him: "Yes, don't worry, don't worry." Let's eat vegetables, don't talk about what you don't have. ”

……

Riverhouse.

On the outskirts of the city, Dingyuan Bridge.

Further north, it is the border between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State.

Iron hooves fly, as if there is no one around.

The black steed galloped to the edge of the bridge, and the horse came to a halt.

A few hundred meters away from him, several white horses, which were also long with long necks and long legs and manes, also stopped.

"Second Hall Master," Meng Hanfei asked quietly, "If you go again, you will go to the Liao Kingdom." ”
