Jiang Wei raised her eyebrows and said, "What kind of weird method is it?" ”

"The emperor's temperament is idle, and now he is not in power, and he only has the opportunity to show up when there is a banquet in the palace or an envoy from a foreign country...... The government is still in the hands of the British duke, and he likes to read idle books in his spare time, or go to the concubine to sit down, and the most common thing he does is to walk around the imperial garden. But the people in my palace said that the emperor didn't go to the imperial garden often these days, and he didn't see people much, that is, only those who served him on weekdays knew the emperor's whereabouts. The emperor often summons the British Duke these days, and the two of them talk about it for more than two hours in the imperial study, and they don't know what they are talking about, and the emperor can't hide his thoughts. ”

Huo Jiu's voice was very low, but he clearly expressed his depression and worry. Jiang Yu looked worried, and his hand covered his hand. Her hand was warm, his hand was slightly cold, Huo Shijiu didn't seem to be used to the sudden temperature, his fingers shrunk, and Jiang Yu immediately held his fingers.

Cao Yuwen's eyes swept over the hands of the two of them, and he lifted the curtain of the car with his eyes stiffly, and it was already dark outside the window, dark clouds gathered, as if a heavy rain was coming, and then he put down the curtain and said softly: "In this way, it seems that the emperor and the British prince are very close." ”

"But the emperor and the British duke can't be so close." Jiang Yu asked Huo Shijiu: "Have your people ever seen the emperor come out and walk around?" ”

Huo Shijiu played with Jiang Wei's fingers and shook his head: "It is precisely because except for the people around the emperor, no one sees the emperor come out and walk around, and the idlers have no right to approach the emperor's side." I realized something was wrong. The emperor's temperament. How can you stand it after being in the house for a long time? It's idle and bored, he should have come out to play a long time ago. ”

When Jiang Yu heard this, only one thought welled up in her heart, no matter how you look at this situation, the emperor was accused by the British public.

But when I think about it, I feel that it is wrong. The little emperor is working on dealing with the British duke, otherwise he would not have given all the tiger talismans to Huo Nineteen, and he also agreed to use fire as an order. Could it be that this is his trick to lure the enemy deeper? Let down the guard of the British public first, and then try to act?

The look in Jiang Wei's eyes is changing rapidly, but all of them are beautiful. Huo Jiujiu admired her beauty. I felt that she knew the danger but still left a lot of emotion for him, and even if she was moved, her deep voice became more gentle: "Girl, what are you thinking?" ”

Jiang Yu came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, since the emperor has ordered it, he must have been fully prepared, as you said, we will obey the order." "Just keep an eye on everything.

Of course, Jiang Yu would not say this in front of Huo Shijiu. lest he hear this, and be angry with her, and disrespect his ruler.

Huo Jiujiu nodded, his brows stretched a little. He may not always treat the emperor as a child, and he should also give him appropriate space and leeway.

As he spoke, the downpour suddenly fell, knocking on the roof of the carriage shed and making a small sound, surrounded by a rustling rain, and the humid air surging, Cao Yu asked, "Do you want to find a place to shelter from the rain first?" ”

Huo Jiu shook his head and said, "It's better for us to show up less, at this juncture, there can't be any chaos." ”

Cao Yu bowed his head, then lifted the curtain and said a few words to the coachman.

The coachman was a dead soldier beside Huo Shijiu, and it was difficult to stop him in such a thing as driving a car in the rain, so he responded heartily at the moment, drove the carriage fast and steadily, and arrived at the mansion in the west of the city in a short time.

The house is a small courtyard with two entrances, and the mottled black lacquered wooden door was only knocked twice, and a plump daughter-in-law in her forties came out with an umbrella, and when she saw Huo Shijiu, she smiled and said: "Oh, rich brother, why are you here." ”

"Cousin." Huo Jiujiu smiled, pulled Jiang Yu and said, "This is my daughter-in-law, we came to see you." ”

"This is Qiu Ju, come in, come in." The daughter-in-law welcomed Huo Shijiu, Jiang Yu, and Cao Yu into the courtyard, and heard the daughter-in-law shouting to the curious neighbor, "It's my cousin...... Home on the south side...... Come and hang out. ”

Huo Jiu felt funny, and flicked Jiang Yan's forehead with his fingers: "Qiu Ju." ”

Jiang Wei raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Rich." ”

Both of them felt funny, and Jiang Wei said seriously: "Don't say it, it's really good if you call Huo Fugui." ”

"Dad didn't even hold back the word wealth back then." Huo Nineteen said helplessly.

Thinking about Huo Dazhuan's ability to name the child, Jiang Yu really didn't dare to compliment.

The small house is an ordinary two-entry courtyard, the front yard is inhabited by Fang Cai's daughter-in-law and their young son, and the backyard is very clean.

When they arrived at the main house in the backyard, the daughter-in-law, her husband, and the youngest son all entered the house and kowtowed: "The little one is for Huo Ye, Mrs. is sorry, I have offended a lot in front of the door, and I also ask Huo Ye and Mrs. to forgive me." ”

Huo Shijiu sat in the first place, although he was dressed in coarse cloth, he still had a noble temperament, his fingers played with the cigarette pouch, and said with a smile: "Don't be stubborn, you have done a good job." Get up. ”

"Thank you, Huo Ye."

The husband and wife and the young man stood up and stood aside with their heads bowed respectfully.

"You are busy with your going, just as we are just distant relatives, and we don't have to come to serve."

"Yes." The trio bowed and retreated.

Not long after, the daughter-in-law came in with a brass kettle, mixed warm water in the wooden basin that was placed on the basin shelf in front of the door, put a brand new towel in it, turned around and said respectfully: "Please wash." ”

Huo Jiu smiled and waved his hand, signaling her to stand down, and then went to twist the handkerchief and went into the inner room to pull Jiang Yan to wipe her face.

"I'll do it myself." Jiang Yu hurriedly went to pick up his handkerchief.

"No, it's still me, there is no one around to serve me these days, and I will do the work of serving tea and water, combing hairpins, and flowers." Huo Jiu looked at her persistently, and raised the handkerchief high with the other hand, the height difference between the two of them made Jiang Wei unable to get the handkerchief even if she stood on tiptoe, but her beautiful eyes seemed to be aggrieved, as if she would bully him if she didn't let him serve.

It was rare for him to be so domineering, Jiang Wei didn't want to live up to his kindness, so she had to sigh: "Okay, then it's for you, I'll serve you to freshen up when I go back." ”

"Okay!" Huo Jiujiu happily wiped Jiang Yan's face, but he had never served anyone, so he was inevitably clumsy, wiped Jiang Yan's face red, and poked her nose twice with the fingers wrapped in the handkerchief.

After wiping his face and hands, Huo Shijiu dropped the handkerchief and went to get the wooden comb again, and asked Jiang Wei to spread out the two braids that had been pulled up and comb her bun again.

Seeing that he looked like a child who had found a new toy, Jiang Wei couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to sit on the kang obediently and ask him to comb her hair.

The rain was pouring outside, but the inside of the house was warm because of the silence and softness of the two.

At the same time in the British Mansion, Tan Guang held an umbrella on the Danqi, half of his body was wet by the rain and didn't care, and when he arrived in the front hall, he threw the umbrella to the small guy under the corridor, and then lifted the curtain and entered.

"Grandpa Guo." Tan Guang saluted and said respectfully: "Our people have already returned, saying that Huo Ying was indeed in the same carriage with his wife, and then left, but it didn't take long to catch up with the team, and this time because of the heavy rain, he has stayed in a ruined temple not far from the city." ”

"Yes." The British Duke combed his beard with a delicate ivory comb with red tassels, and said with a smile: "This is interesting, I originally thought that he would do it later, but I didn't expect him to go with his parents and relatives, and I was really disappointed." ”

Tan Guang said with a flattering smile: "Grandpa Guo is like a god, and he is known to be majestic, where are you afraid that they will turn over a few more waves?" ”

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, the more you can't make a mistake at this juncture." The British justice: "Since they really left, that's it, we still have serious things to do, just let them leave." ”

"What Grandpa Guo said is very true. It's just ......" Tan Guang hesitated slightly, but still said what he thought in his heart: "Grandpa Guo, since we have reached this point at this time, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots," and made a killing gesture: "Since you can't be sure if Huo Ying will be able to use it for you in the future, why do you want to keep him?" ”

"Am I the kind of devil who kills people without blinking?" The British Duke stood up, put the ivory comb into the brocade bag hanging on his waist, and then took a watering can to water the gladiolus, with a leisurely and gentle smile, like an ordinary old man: "You, you think too one-sidedly, don't you have to kill all the enemies if you can't tell the enemy from me?" There is always a kind of person in this world, and it is good for me to be able to let him play his role, and I still hope that it will be either black or white. ”

Since Tan Guang has been able to follow the British Duke for so many years, he has some ability in planning.

It's just that he figured out the temper of the British duke, and the older he gets, the more the British duke likes to listen to people's praise of him. Such a deliberate clumsiness to lead him to speak, the British public liked it very much, and he was happy to do the trick.

"What Grandpa Guo said is very true. It's my poor thinking. Tan Guang smiled flatteringly and said, "Then according to the will of Grandpa Guo, let them go back to Jinzhou, right?" ”

Britain said: "Feel free, it's important to do serious things first, so that you can prepare?"

"Don't worry, you've been prepared for a long time."

Jiang Yu, Huo Shijiu, and Cao Yu lived in the small mansion for two days in a blink of an eye.

Although she didn't say it, in her heart, Jiang Yan had been worried about Qijin, and she was thinking about where her family should go every day.

However, she also has her own pastimes, such as the ready-made master here, of course she asks for teaching, is that every morning, as soon as the sky is white, Jiang Yu trained Cao Yu to practice her fists and feet in the backyard.

Cao Yu has a true biography of the famous teacher, and the boxing method is naturally not ambiguous, but Jiang Yu's punishment is the military body boxing used in countless actual battles, which seems to have no tricks, but there are many changes under one move. Every time Cao Yu does something with her, she has to be 120,000 points careful. (To be continued......)
