Chapter 195: Arrival in Beijing
Leng Fifteen and Leng Fifteen followed behind Leng Yixiu, and couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes.
Leng Yixiu's back was straight, galloping all the way, his flying hair, and his extraordinarily textured robe were stained with dust, and he kept raising his horsewhip, pulling out sad arcs.
rushed all the way into the capital, Leng Yixiu did not stop for a moment, and went directly to the Yamen of the Admiral of Jiumen, those officials who were dealing with affairs were startled by the people who broke in, and they wanted to scold one after another, but found that it was Leng Yixiu who broke in.
Everyone was overjoyed, and they came up to greet him, Leng Yixiu didn't say a word, as soon as he came in, Leng 15 and Leng 16 behind him had already closed the door of the yamen tacitly.
Everyone was a little puzzled, but they didn't think so, anyway, it was the prince who was in charge here, maybe there was something important to tell us.
Leng Yixiu didn't have anything to order, he just listened to those people report and tell them about the big and small matters of this period of time, he closed his eyes slightly, drank tea without a sip, leaned back on the chair and listened quietly.
The more calm he was, the more the people under him felt the pressure, and they didn't dare to secretly look up to see his reaction, so they could only report it and quietly retreat to the side without the prince's orders.
Leng Fifteen and Leng Fifteen held their knives and guarded the gate, looking at the cautious appearance of those officials, they couldn't help but want to snicker in their hearts, in fact, our prince is not deep this time, but ...... It's so tiring.
Nearly half a day has passed, and the sky is almost dusk, Leng Yixiu glanced at the people present, and said lightly: "What you have reported, this king knows, there are important things to happen next, in order to prevent the news from leaking, I have to bother you to live in the backyard of the yamen temporarily, as for other food and clothing, this king will send someone to send it." ”
Everyone was slightly stunned, silent for a while, looked at each other a few times, and although they didn't understand why this was so, they all said, "Yes." ”
Leng Yixiu stood up from his seat, flicked his sleeves and said, "In this case, please give in." Then he turned and left.
The other officials all returned to their positions, packed up the pen and ink, and prepared to go to the backyard to find a suitable room, each yamen backyard has a place to live, for the officials in office to live, but Leng Yixiu has a palace in Beijing, so he does not live here, but those rooms are usually cleaned up, clean and tidy, and they can be moved in at any time.
As soon as Leng Yixiu walked into the courtyard, a person lifted his robe and whispered behind him: "Lord Wang, please stay." ”
Leng Yixiu's gaze was cold, he turned around slowly, and the person who came looked guilty and said to him: "Lord Wang, the lower official...... Alas, it's really ......"
"Lord Xie, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Leng Yixiu interrupted him and said with an embarrassed expression on his face.
Xie Shanmin sighed, and said to Leng Yixiu: "Lord Wang, I won't tell you, Xia Guan doesn't know how these days, and his body is a little unwell, so he just found a doctor yesterday to call the pulse to recuperate, and the medicine is only drunk after dinner every day, so ......"
His later words were not explicitly stated, but anyone could understand the meaning, but Leng Yixiu still looked indifferent, "So? ”
Xie Shanmin suddenly had a feeling of thorns in his back, obviously Leng Yixiu didn't say anything, but his expression and his voice all made him a little nervous.
He regretted a little, regretted that he shouldn't have caught up like this, but now it was too late to regret it.
"So......" Xie Shanmin stiffened his head and said: "So, Xiaguan implores the prince, can you let Xiaguan go back to the house and get the medicine?" ”
"In this way," Leng Yixiu pondered, his lips showed a vague smile, like a sharp knife arc looming, "Lord Xie, you see if this will work, you can stay here with peace of mind, this king can send a doctor to live with you too, what is the situation, let him treat you at any time, how about it?" ”
"Yes...... But," Xie Shanmin's heart tightened, "However, Xiaguan just went to the doctor yesterday and just took a dose of medicine, if you change it again......"
Leng Yixiu's eyes narrowed, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and the cold light stared at Xie Shanmin fiercely, Xie Shanmin's heart trembled, he took a slight breath, lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Then," Leng Yixiu pondered for a moment, and said in a calm voice, "How about this king send someone to inform your family and ask them to send someone to deliver medicine to Lord Xie?" ”
Xie Shanmin hurriedly raised his head, with a look of surprise on his face, the joy had not yet faded, only to hear Leng Yixiu continue: "However, the person who delivered the medicine should also stay here and go out with Master Xie later, how about it?" ”
"This ......" Xie Shanmin's face suddenly fell again, he hesitated and thought about it, but listened to Leng Yixiu say: "Lord Xie, this king has given you great convenience, if you feel that it is inappropriate and insist on going back to the house, then this king has no choice but to strictly order it." ”
Leng Yixiu's voice was flat, but those eyes were like waves on a calm sea, long winds and waves, shocking waves, Xie Shanmin suddenly felt sweaty and soaked through his heavy clothes, he gave a deep salute, and said strongly so that his voice did not tremble: "It's the lower official who is reckless, the lower official is very guilty, the lower official is willing to follow what the prince said, and serve the country here with peace of mind, as for this body, let's make plans after returning home." ”
He said it righteously and awe-inspiringly, and his words were passionate, Leng Yixiu couldn't help but smile faintly, "In this way, I have wronged Lord Xie." ”
"Don't dare." Xie Shanmin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, bent down to salute, Leng Yixiu had already turned to leave, and his clothes flew like a cloud sweeping over his heart.
The door of the Nine Gates Admiral's Yamen opened, and then when Leng Yixiu walked out, it closed again, and a trace of residual light leaked in the crack of the door finally disappeared with the sudden closure of the door, and Xie Shanmin's heart became anxious again.
On the other side of the door, Leng Yixiu turned over and said to Leng Fifteen: "Leave two people and keep an eye on him." ”
When the horse arrived at the gate of the palace, Leng Yi repaired the horse, but he did not get off the horse for a long time, he remembered that when he left the palace before, he was excited and worried, because he got the news of Rong Xi, in order to find out the truth in person, he galloped thousands of miles to find her.
And now, I am back, but I am still alone.
That person is indeed Rong Xi, but she won't come back, and there is another man by her side.
Leng Yixiu's heart seemed to be pierced by a needle, and the dense and lingering pain slowly spread, making it a little difficult for him to even breathe.
The sun finally set, and the last ray of light fell behind him, and he was clothed in a glow, radiant, but revealing boundless coldness, and the shadow on the ground was thin and long, and the wind blew, raising his hair, and the slightest trace of it was lonely.
At night, the backyard of the Admiral of the Nine Gates was quiet, those officials had already fallen asleep, today's moonlight was a little dim, and the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were even darker.
Suddenly, a person quietly walked out of a room on the west side, looked around, and saw that there was no one on the left and right, then turned around and slowly closed the door, carrying his robe, and came towards the wall.
He found a few bricks by the wall, carefully stacked them together, then tucked his robe between his belts, and stood on top of them with his legs raised.
He held his head high and tried to reach the wall - the wall of the backyard was very high in other places, except for that place, when there was a thunder and lightning one year, a thunderclap knocked down a big tree in the courtyard, and the big tree smashed into the courtyard wall, smashing a gap, and over time it became a depression, much lower than the others.
When Leng Yixiu had just taken office as the Admiral of the Nine Gates, someone had asked if he wanted to repair this depression, Leng Yixiu shook his head.
The man climbed the courtyard wall with all his strength, he rode on the wall and panted, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the other side of the wall, seeing that he was a little dizzy, but in the end he gritted his teeth.
The moonlight shone through behind the clouds and shone on his chubby face.
Xie Shanmin.
What he didn't know was that he was making such a good fuss below, and on the tree not far away, Leng Fifteen hugged his shoulders and looked at him with interest, watching his little short legs push up hard, and a pair of fat hands laboriously grabbed the wall.
Xie Shanmin gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped down against the wall.
With a "plop", he gasped, got up from the ground, grinned and rubbed the painful places on his body, and suddenly, he stopped the movement of his hand.
Because, he saw, under the wall, which was still pitch black just now, a long dragon suddenly lit up, and more than a dozen people held torches, but there was no sound.
His breath tightened, as if a giant hand had instantly grabbed his throat, and he turned his head with difficulty to see the man standing in the middle of the torch.
The man was dressed in black, with a circle of silver rolling around the edge of the robe, which flickered in the cold light of the firelight, like a sharp blade, cutting his eyes fiercely, and he raised his head with difficulty and met a pair of bright eyes.
Those eyes looked at him coldly, no sadness, no joy, not even a trace of surprise and anger, except for the cold light, nothing else, as if the sun was shining on the snowy earth, reflecting a light that people could not look at directly.
The sweat on Xie Shanmin's forehead rolled down.
He leaned on the ground, his shoulders trembled slightly, his forehead pressed against the mud, and he breathed heavily and said, "Lord Wang......"
"Master Xie, where are you going?" Leng Yixiu's voice was quiet, but resolute.
"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan ......" Xie Shanmin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, raised his head slightly, looked at the tips of Leng Yixiu's boots, and as soon as his eyes touched it, he immediately retracted, and the pair of black satin brocade boots were embroidered with crests, which seemed to pierce his heart.
