- "Stop! My brother conceded defeat. Wang Hong hurriedly raised his hand to make a surrender.

The arrogant expression on Wang Qing's face did not diminish at all, first snorted coldly, and then said in a threatening tone: "If you still want to play me with the matter of the horse, beware that I will introduce you to the lion roaring girl I know outside, and ensure that the voice can linger in Huayang Palace for three days." ”

"That's horrible." Wang Hong lowered one hand and rubbed his back, with a smile on his face, but his brows frowned.

Wang Qing noticed that her brother's smile was a little strange, and saw him reach behind his back again. She remembered that she had pinched somewhere else, so she approached him and tilted her neck to look behind him.

"Where's the crash?" When Wang Qing saw the desk next to her brother's back, she immediately understood what was going on with her brother's weird smile. Without waiting for him to return, she reached for his back, groped for the approximate position and rubbed it.

"It's just a little touch." Wang Hong lowered his hand and rubbed his back, his frowning eyebrows had been bulldozed, and he said with a smile: "When people grow up, they will feel that the original house has become smaller." This hall is still the same as it used to be, but in the future, we may not be able to play here again as we used to. ”

Growing up, not to mention that the two siblings can't play happily as before.

If he was a child, he found that Wang Hong bumped into something in the frolic, Wang Qing, as the eldest sister, would definitely find that place, peel off her clothes and carefully inspect it to make sure that there are no bruises and broken skins before she is willing to let go and continue playing.

Until now, even siblings can no longer be so close.

When I grew up, the familiar things in my eyes seemed to change, and I lost some things, but at the same time gained something. People can't be immutable, they can only live a certain stage of their lives with their hearts, and fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of their identity at this stage.

The siblings returned to the table and sat down, silent. At this time, many thoughts appeared in the hearts of the two of them, although they were not spoken, but in fact they were almost the same. One is a princess. One is the prince; Is it to marry a man who has no feelings, respectful but only to spend his life here? Or marry a woman who has no emotion, maintain a ceremonial marriage, and go in and out in front of the princes and nobles hand in hand?

Because of the sudden arrival of my father today, I talked about something. At the same time, the two siblings officially put in front of them two big problems in life that seemed to be very close.

The siblings looked at each other in silence for a long time, and then approached the same time with a smile on their faces, moving the corners of their mouths, but not making a sound.

For a moment, Wang Qing wanted to tell her brother very much that three years ago on the edge of the Wei River, the boy she met kissed her in order to save her from drowning. To this day, every time she thinks of that damp Wen, she feels like her heart skips a beat. Although, she has long confirmed it from the medical girl Yenuo. That kiss was just a way to save people by breathing.

Although she knows the reason, why does she still remember it? Although it is the relationship between saving people and being rescued, it is a fact that the two have a skin-to-skin relationship at that moment.

Of course, Wang Qing believed what her brother had just said, and her two younger brothers helped together as they wished. Instantly transform a commoner man's family background and turn him into a rising star in Kyoto's business world. In today's Kyoto, the leaders of the business world are not much lower in status than Baume & Mercier scholars.

But the point is, does the boy remember her as much as she misses him? Is this feeling of palpitations equal to love?

At the same moment. Wang Hong also wanted to tell Sister Sù very much, he had already hidden a girl in his heart.

The identity of the girl is just one of the many slaves and maids in Huayang Palace. But in addition to being the same as the old slaves and maids in Huayang Palace, this maid is extremely convenient and convenient, and she has a little bit that other slaves and maids can't compare. It was unconsciously touching his heart.

――――

The palace maid Xiaoxing, her real full name is Luo Xing'er, but the old palace maids who have worked with her for many years have never known that her original surname is Luo, and she has an official name. All the time. Everyone is used to calling her "little star", and it seems that they unanimously ignore a certain issue. But Luo Xing'er can't forget for a moment that she is Luo Yungeng's daughter, and she came to the palace to take revenge.

Luo Yungeng was a jinshi in the seven years of Tianyun in the previous dynasty, and a poor student became a rising star in his career, which was also considered lucky back then. However, Luo Yungeng has been in office for four years, diligent and pragmatic, and was fortunate to be recommended by Shangguan to be promoted to the position of the head of the household department, but he was convicted and imprisoned in less than a year after taking office. After several tortures, he finally suffered from external injuries and died in prison in the middle of the night.

The case became a dumb case back then. During the Tianyun years, the government has been corrupted to the extreme, and the brain of the country and the dynasty is only barely maintaining its operation, and even the chief officer of the criminal department is too lazy to spend the slightest more brain power on this case, and hastily seals and seals this case with many loopholes.

But before Luo Yungeng was imprisoned, when his mind was still clear, he sued his wife for an account book. On the day Luo Yungeng was imprisoned, his wife fled Kyoto at night with the ledger and her only daughter. Luo Yungeng was really tortured to death in prison as he expected.

Many years later, the Great Zhou Dynasty fell. The army of the royal family stationed in the north entered Kyoto and changed the dynasty. After another half a year, the new monarch officially ascended the throne, but the new monarch did not immediately start to clean up the hidden disasters of the power party left over from the previous dynasty in the government and the opposition, but the harem suffered a big shock, and nearly 1,000 slaves and maids and nearly 100 concubines of the former Emperor Ling were expelled from the palace. What's even more strange is that after excluding such a large number of old slaves, the new monarch included more than 100 exiled girls among the people and filled them into the harem, but only as slaves.

Luo Yungeng's only daughter, Luo Xing'er, took this opportunity to sneak into the palace, and after several competitive selections, she was assigned to Huayang Palace.

After staying in the Huayang Palace where a weak prince lives for several years, Luo Xing'er usually plays the role of a servant girl Xiaoxing, and has always done a decent job of serving her master. In private, with the help of the account book left by her father many years ago, she refused to stop and began to investigate the enemies who joined forces to falsely accuse her father back then.

After Luo Xinger escaped from Kyoto with her mother, she studied under her teacher and practiced light jumping kung fu for several years. Obviously, her mother was already prepared for her daughter's priority when she grew up the moment she left Beijing. After learning art and successfully blending into the harem, Luo Xinger also admired her mother's choice back then.

But just with this bit of effort, it was barely enough to escape the attention of the guards patrolling the palace, and put it in front of the dozens of Ouchi masters in the palace who were personally trained by the martial god Li Gai. It's child's play.

One day, when Luo Xing'er returned to Huayang Palace in the middle of the night, he was captured by the few masters assigned by the emperor in Huayang Palace.

That night, the weak prince was waiting for her in the main hall of Huayang Palace. I interrogated her for two hours in a row, and I almost couldn't sleep until dawn.

――――

Wang Chi left the palace today and came to the bookstore to find Ruan Luo, and the things he wanted to entrust were actually very simple, but when this matter was actually operated, it was likely to be in danger step by step.

As he had assessed this matter before he came here, if Ruan Luoluo took over this task, he might only be a thousand miles away from the northwest and the northwest, but if things really went awry. The trip is likely to turn into a bloodless battle, and both sides will always suffer losses.

The matter was made clear in a few words, but then the mood of the two people in the study was a little calmer.

"If you find it difficult, I can consider a substitution." Silence is also Wang Chi, who has been waiting for a long time, finally spoke again. From the moment the matter was said just now, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Ruan Luo's face and he never left. This made Wang Chi can't help but activate his pre-filing.

Wang Chi has full patience for Ruan Luo's choice, even if he doesn't choose this time, Wang Chi won't blame him for anything.

Yan sù commented, there are two extremes in the matter he said just now, the end of Shun lì is of course extremely easy, but the end that may be changed is a fierce flash. The difficulty is difficult to estimate. If Ruan Luo goes this time, he will really encounter the Yan family's defection, and his safety will be attacked from many sides at the same time.

But if he can withstand this test, Wang Chi may be relieved again, because he can pass the test, which means that Wang Chi is not wrong in valuing him.

When Wang Chi brought up this matter just now. Ruan Luo didn't immediately express his attitude, and at this time, Wang Chi had the intention to retract what he just said, Ruan Luo still didn't say anything, he just asked softly after thinking for a while: "I don't know which one of the people my uncle is going to change is in the Beijing merchant team?" ”

I can know what kind of existence the "Beijing merchant team" is. This already shows from a certain point of view that Ruan Luo has the qualifications to ask today's son, and Wang Chi Bacheng is really willing to sue him.

"Before the matter is over, do you want to make the decision first and pick and choose for me?"

Wang Chi was about to say such a sentence, beating the autumn breeze, but also to arouse the atmosphere of the study that had been silent for a long time-sometimes the two sides of the discussion were too strict and nervous, which might affect the correct judgment--this was what a short-sighted woman had said many years ago.

As she said this, she was stretching out her slightly cool fingers, trying to smooth the wrinkled mountains and rivers on his brow. So he was so close to her face to face, and he saw in her pupils the wrinkles of bitterness on his face, so he kept what she said in his heart, as if he had kept her smiling face in his mind.

And he will do this, not only because he cherishes her love for her, but also because this sentence has indeed played a big role in his climb to the peak of his career.

However, before he could say this sentence of beating Qiu Feng, he swallowed it back by himself.

Because he realized a little at this time, Ruan Luo did not delay giving a clear attitude because he was afraid of hardships and dangers, he did show fear just now, but if he stayed with his fear for a while, he could smell that his fear was not fear, but a mood of escape. He hesitated because he wanted to avoid something, but the sentence he asked afterwards showed that he was willing to act and even take risks for the decision-making assignment of the Southern Zhao Dynasty.

But this kind of willing choice seems to be more or less driven by some pressure built by the word "helpless".

After pondering and understanding this, Wang Chi's heart moved, and he replied very "truthfully" to Ruan Luo's inquiry: "Among all the Beijing merchants, I'm afraid only Chang Siliu can go for you." ”

"Chang Siliu of Siliufang?" As Ruan Luo spoke, the puzzled look in his eyes became heavier, "Chang Siliu is bold and careful, and he suffers very hard, but ...... He likes wine like a fetish, and once he gets a drip, he immediately becomes a drunkard who can lie down next to the wine jar and does not sit up, and all his powerful skills are diluted by the wine. ”

What Ruan Luo said, although at first glance, it has the meaning of slandering people, but in fact, Wang Chi knows it. Ruan Luo is not wrong, Chang Siliu has such a big shortcoming, once he is hit by this dead end, all the advantages of being careful and cautious and principled and resolute will come to naught.

But it is precisely because Wang Chi understands this. When Ruan Luo asked, he took the lead in moving Chang Siliu out.

In fact, Chang Siliu was just a ladder he set up first, and his real idea was still to come.

After sighing silently, Wang Chi said slowly: "If you don't call Chang Siliu to go." There doesn't seem to be a better fit. ”

When Ruan Luo heard this, the doubts in his eyes suddenly turned into surprise, and he immediately said, "Isn't Zhuang Zhong more suitable than Chang Siliu to take on this important task?" ”

"At the beginning of this matter, he was actually the first person I looked for, but he is also a person with big shortcomings." Wang Chi shook his head as he spoke, "He is an emotional person, and now although he has accumulated thousands of family fortunes, he has never thought of accepting a partial house and never abandoning his wife." I also just learned that his wife is six months pregnant. It is estimated that the delivery period is in the hot season, and now asking him to leave home is equivalent to taking half his life. ”

Wang Chi's explanation made Ruan Luo unable to find a single hole that could be refuted, and at this time, he blamed himself a little, and muttered: "This is indeed a big difficulty. ”

"I thought you wouldn't refuse." Wang Chi suddenly spoke. The tone seemed a little vague, as if it was just an unintentional mention.

This time, however, he received the answer he had been expecting.

"Well, I accept it." Ruan Luo's hesitant gaze gradually became firm, "Please forgive the junior for his hesitation just now, in the face of major events, there are some issues that the junior must think about clearly in order to make a firm determination." ”

"Of course I'll forgive you." A smile gradually spread on Wang Chi's face. "For this is your temperament, which, though swallowed a little, is the most harmless of all kinds."

"So ......" Ruan Luo seemed to suddenly understand something.

The traces of the provocation at the corners of Wang Chi's mouth flashed away, and then the smile on his face was also put away, and he only took out a very finely rolled paper tube from his sleeve and held it in the palm of his hand. At the same time, his voice was slightly lower, and he said, "Accept the order." ”

Noticing that the roll of tissue paper was not framed with yellow thickness, Ruan Luo realized a problem, he did not solemnly greet Wang Chi, nor did he chant anything aloud, but only clenched his right fist slightly. He handed out half a foot in front of him and repeated the four words that Wang Chi had just read: "Accept the order." ”

"Here's a secret edict to use as a token of self-protection in special situations, and a roster that you need to memorize and make good use of." After Wang Chi said these words, he put the object in his hand on the fist that Ruan Luo raised in front of his chest.

"The oath is with the edict." Ruan Luo shouted in a deep voice, spread his fists, and clenched the edict.

The ritual of accepting the edict seems simple, but once the edict is received, the risk price to be paid by the edict is likely to be so severe that it is difficult to predict, just as Ruan Luo just said that the oath and the edict will return together, and sometimes where it will end up, no one knows.

But obviously, regarding this secret edict, Emperor Wang Chi of Nanzhao left a "back door" for Ruan Luo, the prince of the dynasty that he valued, - that list - if it really came to the moment of life and death, Wang Chi would have done a good job of protecting the edict and the indestructible.

Seeing that Ruan Luo finally accepted the edict, Wang Chi lowered his hand and took it behind his back, and he was also relieved.

Regarding this secret edict, this list, these fragmentary things that are inseparable from the Yan family, of course, he still hopes and trusts Ruan Luo, the descendant, to do it. Just as Ruan Luo was shocked when he first learned that he was imitating the Yan family's silver ticket, in fact, he was also a little guilty in his heart, this was using the credibility of a country to fight whether the Yan family had two hearts, in case it was smashed, not only the Yan family, I am afraid that the Liang Zi of Nan Zhao and Xiao Liang Kingdom would have to settle like this.

Ruan Luo saw that after Wang Chi personally issued the edict, the relaxed expression on his face only stayed for a moment, and his eyebrows, which had been washed away by the years, were wrinkled again, and he couldn't help but ask softly: "Uncle, do you still have anything to worry about about this matter?" ”

"A little foresight, don't bother now." Wang Chi only used an understatement to hide the worries in his heart, and then he looked at Ruan Luo, and a smile appeared on his face again, "If there is anything to worry about, in fact, I am still a little worried about you." ”

This is indeed a sentence that is easily ambiguous.

But Ruan Luo only felt a sense of care and warmth from his elders at this time.

However, he lost his father at a young age, and the child grew up without an important piece of fatherly love, which made him very poor in the way of emotional expression. So although he was grateful for the care he had received from Yibo, he didn't know what to say.

Words that really contain feelings are sometimes more difficult to get out of the mouth of a certain type of personality.

Ruan Luo can be clever at the negotiation table in the business field, figure out every benefit and disadvantage, and strive for the greatest interests for himself. He can also be considerate of making friends and networking, and win every bit of favor for himself......

But these means of communication, to be precise, are actually a means of survival. Moreover, because this kind of ability often requires the constant inner thinking of oneself in an extremely rational position, the mind will be tempered for a long time, and it will be easy to be unfamiliar with some real emotions to vent-
