Xiao Zijin glanced at Lin Mei, he had a lot of calculations in his heart, his drooping face was full of indifference, and he said softly, "Husband, it is indeed a little lonely for the concubine to stay in this Linshan County alone, so I want to ask Miss Lin to stay here as a companion, I wonder if my husband can allow it?" ”

It was probably the first time that the man had heard Xiao Zijin speak in such a slightly softer voice, and the emotions in his eyes were inexplicable, and he slowly turned his gaze to Lin Mei, who was about to be sent out of the city.

"Since Madame likes it, why not stay?" The man hooked the corners of his mouth and said slowly, looking at Xiao Zijin's eyes full of tenderness.

Xiao Zijin calmly turned his head and thanked him gently, then walked over and said coldly to the two soldiers who were escorting Lin Mei out of the city, "Miss Lin is my guest, and you won't let her go?" ”

When the two soldiers heard this, they naturally looked at the man in purple together, waiting for his instructions, until the man nodded lightly and then slowly retreated, and the soldier was Brother Wang, whom Lin Mei had met outside the city before, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Mei worriedly when he heard Xiao Zijin's words, and finally walked away under the urging of another soldier.

"Miss Xiao?" Seeing that Xiao Zijin stopped herself, Lin Mei couldn't help frowning suspiciously, and she was secretly wary of Xiao Zijin in her heart.

"I'm alone in Linshan County, and no one speaks, doesn't Miss Lin also want to stay in this city? In that case, why don't you stay with me, do you think that's good? When Xiao Zijin said this, his eyes were still staring at Lin Mei for a moment, just like a beautiful woman carved in a jade pile, lifeless. If it weren't for the fact that the eyeballs were still rolling and the eyelids drooped a few times, it would really be no different from a jade carving.

Lin Mei smiled and narrowed her eyes. Crisply replied, "Okay, I'm fine anyway, so I might as well stay here with Miss Xiao......"

At this time, the man in black who was dressed up whispered a few words in the ear of the man in purple, and he didn't know what to say, but the smile on the man in purple quickly cooled. lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and looked at Xiao Zijin who was standing not far away, and said with a smile to the man in black beside him. "Go and talk to Madame, I have to leave beforehand, and the rest of the people will stay here and wait for Madame's orders."

Xiao Zijin also happened to raise his head at this time and glanced back at the man, and saw that he was smiling at himself with the corners of his lips slightly hooked. I couldn't help but jump in my heart. For some reason, he became a little flustered, and turned his head abruptly to stop looking at the man.

"Is that your husband?" Lin Mei vaguely heard what the man said, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zijin in surprise, and sighed in her heart, although her manly appearance was also superior, but when used to match Xiao Zijin, it still made her feel a little weird...... It's like the fairies of the Nine Heavens who have been defiled by annoyance......

Xiao Zijin pursed his lips. Obviously, he didn't want to answer, but the man in black next to him didn't look at the situation at all. It was a direct sentence, "Madam, the master asked me to bring you a message." ”

Lin Mei covered her mouth and squinted her eyes and smiled, and her tail note rose happily, "Miss Xiao, no, maybe I should say it...... Madam? ”

Xiao Zijin's eyes obviously flashed a trace of unhappiness, but there was never much expression on her face, so Lin Mei didn't see it much, but said lightly, "I have some private things to say with Miss Lin, you go down first." ”

The man didn't hesitate much, and walked to the side in response, and didn't go far, just dozens of meters away, vigilantly patrolling the surrounding environment.

"Miss Lin, I wonder where my cousin is now?" As soon as the man left, the expression on Xiao Zijin's face was obviously wrong, slightly anxious, and even his voice was a little hurried.

"Looking for Xiao Zihuan? Then your luck is really bad, he left as soon as you came, and went to a Xiao family courtyard near Linshan County, if you want to find him, I can lead the way. Lin Mei saw that Xiao Zijin's beautiful face, which had always been uneating and not occupying the worldly atmosphere, appeared for the first time on such a thing as emotion, and she felt a little unbearable.

"Let's go......" Xiao Zijin muttered a few words, squinted slightly and looked up at the position occupied by the man in black before, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Lin Mei noticed that as soon as the man left Xiao Zijin, the momentum of the whole person was different, the numbness that was very indifferent before, but now it gave people a feeling of sharpness, and the whole person became sharp.

"Miss Lin, aren't you going to find Ling Zun? In that case, don't leave it at that...... If you have any problems, you can go to the prefectural office to find me. After Xiao Zijin finished speaking, he hurriedly left, dragging a long skirt of smoke yarn a few feet to the ground and passing in front of Lin Mei's eyes.

Lin Mei blinked in a daze, looking at Xiao Zijin's distant back, she still had some unreal feelings in her heart, she was left like this? It's just that she doesn't know when and how Xiao Zijin's relationship is so close?

After Xiao Zijin left, she went to find the man who had been with her before, and heard the people along the road say that the adult was discussing with Liu County Commander in the lobby of the county magistrate's mansion, so she couldn't help but slow down, and slowly moved to the back of the window and pretended to pass by inadvertently.

I could only hear the voices of two men talking inside, one old and one young, the young one said, "...... Wasn't the prince in Linshan County before? ”

The middle-aged man replied tremblingly, "Fifth prince, this, the lower officials don't know, last time because of the plague in Linshan County, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the lower officials a lecture, and then disappeared, you ask this question, it's really embarrassing for the lower officials......"

"Huh...... Liu Sutan, you are really an old fritter, no wonder your father is so important to you. Hearing this, the young man chuckled and said, "You won the champion twenty years ago, and your father was very important, but you were relegated to a small county like Linshan County to be a county magistrate, didn't you wrong?" ”

"Weichen can be valued by His Majesty, it is really a blessing for three lives, but ...... was demoted, but the lower official himself was too greedy and stole the silver taels of the rescue, and His Majesty was benevolent, which saved the lower official's life. The middle-aged man replied cautiously.

Xiao Zijin wanted to continue eavesdropping, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a little maid with tea and snacks not far away, so he forcibly retracted half of his body calmly, slowly walked to the aisle, pretended to have just arrived, took the tea in the little maid's hand, and said softly, "You go down first, I'll just bring it."
