Chapter 114: Dilemma
Seeing that Nangong Yi didn't have much expression, he just nodded politely, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
Situ Yan's heart was inexplicably cold.
She was so obvious, didn't he understand her heart?
Subsequently, Empress Dowager Xiao's words confirmed her conjecture.
After coming out of Cining Palace, Situ Yan suddenly wanted to laugh.
Therefore, Nangong Yi has never taken her to heart, every qiē is her own delusion, even if she is so active and tries so hard to get closer to him, she still can't get into his heart. didn't refuse in person, but chose to pass through the Empress Dowager Xiao, didn't you want her to be too embarrassed?
However, he didn't like her behavior itself, which already embarrassed her enough.
"Girl, slave maid heard that General Nangong and Lin Er have been very close these days......", Ah Zi came in with a tea bowl, and saw Situ Yan standing alone in front of the window, she couldn't help but sink her eyes, and gently placed the tea bowl on the table as if nothing happened, and said casually.
"The city is full of homeless people, and Ah Jue is just ordered to do routine business......", Situ Yan turned his head and glanced at Ah Zi.
There are some things that she knows herself, but it is another thing to let others say them.
Lin Jue and Nangong Yi ......
Perhaps, a long, long time ago, they have become different from each other.
And the reason why she was able to turn a deaf ear to this, instead of going to extremes like An Luan, was because of the blind confidence in her heart, right? I thought I could win against Lin Jue, and I thought I could walk into that person's heart......
Just thinking about it, a palace maid Ying Ying came in, "Girl, Your Royal Highness Fifth asks to see you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the fifth prince walked in with the curtains rolled in, with the usual smile on his face, and his eyes fell on Situ Yan's body.
"Miss Situ, don't come unharmed......"
"His Royal Highness the Fifth is visiting today, don't you know? ——", Situ Yan quickly put away her thoughts just now. Put on your usual smile.
It seemed that he was used to seeing Situ Yan's distant and polite attitude, and the fifth prince was not angry, and smiled, "Can't you come and see if you have nothing to do?" ”
Know the temperament of the five princes. Situ Yan no longer answered, but walked to the tea tray in the flower hall and sat down, and began to cook tea concentratingly.
In a moment, the aroma of tea lingers in the room.
"This is last spring's Linhai Panhao, and the tea is slightly sweet. The Fifth Highness can taste ......", Situ Yan put the celadon cup in front of the Five Princes and said with a smile.
With a smile in his eyebrows, the fifth prince picked up the celadon teacup in front of him, smelled the tea carefully, took a sip lightly, and said slowly for a long time, "I heard that the girl just came back from Cining Palace?" ”
"What does Your Highness want to say?"
The look on Situ Yan's face was stunned.
"Actually, it's nothing." Ling Xi still had a cynical smile on his face, "I just looked at this Linhai Pan and felt it......." As he spoke, he shook the teacup slightly, his eyes fell on the pale yellow tea soup in the cup, and thoughtfully, "This tea, whether it is tea flavor or tea fragrance, can be regarded as a top grade, but unfortunately, some people can't see its benefits, Maxima needs Bole." Boya needs a child period, and this tea is also a person who needs to know tea......"
"So, Your Highness is a person who knows tea?"
Situ Yan said with a faint smile.
"I don't dare to know tea. It's just that I thought that the celadon here is to be matched with white tea, and there should be other suitable cups to match. ”
After a pause, the Fifth Prince continued. "Since we are both tea lovers, I have some tea dishes there, and I will send a few sets to the girl another day...... However, whether you are willing to change the cup or not, the key is still in you, girl. ”
Situ Yan bowed her head and was silent, her mind circling a few times.
Ling Xi had something to say, she could naturally hear it, but sometimes it was not easy to make a decision.
Give your full attention and immerse yourself. When he looked up again, he found that Ling Xi had already left the tea room.
"Girl, the fifth prince is like this, you don't care about him!" , Ah Zi saw that Situ Yan seemed to be moving, so he opened his mouth to persuade.
However, this Situ Yan is really not easy to deal with, and she has not done any of the things explained by her master so far.
"Ah Zi?"
"Girl, what do you command?"
"Nothing." , Situ Yan raised her head and glanced at her deeply, with a strange arc on her lips, "I just want you to shut up forever." ”
Ah Zi was a little confused, and she didn't seem to hear Situ Yan's words clearly, but she didn't have time to think about whether she heard it wrong, only to see a red light flash from Situ Yan's wide sleeve, and then she fell to the ground......

Although the displaced people are properly settled, the matter is far from over.
Just like Nangong Yi said, the county order of Yi County is indeed an aunt of the side branch of the Yuanwei Hou Mansion, the county order is surnamed Wu, the name is Dacai, and the last class jinshi of the previous year, because he married a daughter of the side branch of the Yuanwei Hou Mansion, and sought an official position in Yi County, although the official is not big, but the emperor is far away in the mountain, and it is similar to the "soil emperor" in the local area, and the life is also good.
And Wu Dacai himself also has a plan, thinking that he will go to a remote place to work for a few years, get more things, and when the time is ripe, rely on the name of Yuanwei Houfu, do some things around, and then return to Beijing, and it is not difficult to find an official and a half-job in the capital.
So when he arrived in Yi County, he began to carry out "work" around the ideas in his heart, and he made a lot of money after less than three years of work.
But although Wu Dacai is greedy, he is not a fool. understands the principle of "leaving a line in everything, and seeing each other in the future", so although the tax is increased every year, in other aspects, some "visible" subsidies have been carried out, such as building roads, such as building several schools in the county, so that although those villagers have complaints, they have not done anything out of the ordinary.
Just when he thought that he would be able to make enough money to return to Beijing, he made a fuss about the peasants leaving their hometowns en masse. At the beginning, Wu Dacai thought that there were only one or two thorns, so he didn't pay much attention, but when he came back to his senses, these people had already arrived in Yuejing.
Looking at the urgent letter handed over by the housekeeper, Yuan Wei angrily tore the letter to shreds.
"Father, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this?"
Ling Zifeng, the prince of Yuanwei Hou, looked at his father with a cold face in an instant, and spoke.
"Strange? It's all to the emperor, and it's weird? ”
Nangong Yi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, since Emperor Zhaoyang has sent him to investigate thoroughly, he will definitely be able to find out something.
"Father, it's actually simple, wouldn't it be good to push that Wu Dacai out, Yi County is far away from the Emperor of the Mountain High here, and he is only a relative of our family's side branch, no matter what, it has nothing to do with us."
Ling Zi sealed his chest.
"Don't forget, he has our things in his hands......"
Yuan Weihou looked at his son, and suddenly a trace of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the two of them at the same time, in this world, there is nothing safer than the dead......
No matter what Yuanweihou thought, when everyone learned that the county order who had the accident was a relative of Yuanweihou's side branch, all of them showed a look of regret on their faces.
The sixth prince was also shocked.
He has always had a good relationship with this imperial uncle, and when he made such a fuss, he always felt sorry for it.
However, no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, Nangong Yi still went her own way, and went directly to Yi County in person, planning to bring back that Wu Dacai.
The person was caught by him, but on the way back to Beijing, only halfway through, he met a mountain bandit, and when the two sides fought, Wu Dacai was killed by the mountain bandits.
"Killed by bandits?"
Looking at Nangong Yi, Lin Jue's face was full of disbelief.
He didn't go out on patrol in micro-service, he was accompanied by a large group of people, what kind of mountain bandit was he who dared to do it against the government?
And he was killed as soon as something happened, where is there such a coincidence in the world?
Seeing that someone still looked immovable, Lin Jue blinked, and blurted out the thoughts in his heart, "Really dead?" ”
Unexpectedly, Nangong Yi sold it, "You'll know when the time comes." ”
Lin Jue: ......
What if she doesn't know?
*
Wu Dacai was killed halfway, and Nangong Yi, the person in charge of the escort, couldn't shirk his responsibility.
So in the early days of the dynasty, when Emperor Zhaoyang learned the news, he was instantly furious, and immediately scolded Nangong Yi for a bloody squirt. When the ministers saw that the wind was not in the right direction, they all immediately shrank their necks, not to mention the squeak, and they didn't even dare to gasp for air.
Ling Zifeng, the son of Yuanwei Hou, was also facing up, seeing this, there was no expression on his face, but his heart was happy, and sure enough, his father was right, some things should be done when it was time to act, otherwise it would leave a bane and endless troubles.
But before he could get a few days, he received a report of a forest fire in Yi County, and he immediately panicked, and while returning to Yuanweihou, he sent someone to Yi County to deal with the follow-up.
The people sent were halfway there, and the news broke out again that the mountain fire had been extinguished, but several deep mountains had been burned bald.
Ling Zifeng couldn't sit still now, and immediately went to Yi County in person overnight.
But when he arrived there, the situation at the scene was 10,000 times worse than what he had received from the tip-off, not only was the mountain burned bald, but all the tombs in the mountain were dug up......
Seeing that not far away, Nangong Yi was directing soldiers like bandits to dig tombs, and when boxes of things were being transported out, Ling Zifeng instantly collapsed to the ground.
This time, he was discovered by Nangong Yi, a barbarian, so is there still a way to live?
"Master Hou, such a coincidence?"
A chuckle sounded overhead.
Ling Zifeng raised his head, and through the twilight, he saw a foreign face.
"Y-Aren't you an envoy of the Rakshasa Kingdom? How did it end up here? ”
Seeing that the other party's face was full of horror, as if he was panicked after the plan was discovered, the smile on the contractor's face became even stronger, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can save you......"
