The night breeze is bleak, and the fire is filled. In the sky above the Taishou Mansion, thunder was still roaring and lightning broke out.

Don't be afraid, catch your uncle! You have to hold on to it

Gu Yunxi stared at Wen Renjunzheng, who was regressing step by step, his gloom faded, and his cold expression gradually warmed up.

I vaguely recall the nightmares that have plagued me since I was a child. Inside, the big man who called out to her anxiously and heartbrokenly, and the big man who covered his face under the half-old hat, was not him?

However, why did he want to be the enemy of Dongchang? Who the hell is he!

Staring at the empty sleeves that rippled in the wind for a long time, she struggled to find the gaps in memory loss, and struggled to piece them together.

Inside, all kinds of torment. Wen Renjun turned his eyes to look at Leng Qingtang faintly, tears appeared in his sad eyes, and his sad look was full of anger:

"Why...... Why are you doing this? Leng Qingtang, you answer me! Is she Zheng Ran's daughter?! ”

Wen Renjun endured the pain and raised his knife, pointed at Gu Yunxi, who was frightened, and turned his head sideways to ask Leng Qingtang. He was so emotional, and with his angry questioning, another stream of blood gushed out from the wound on his chest. His face turned pale, and the moment he covered the wound with his palm, his fingers were red with blood.

Leng Qingtang stood up and calmly looked directly at his opponent who was suffering from the pain, his handsome face was gloomy.

He didn't want to answer Wenren's question.

The most painful thing in the world is that they should be like-minded allies who can cook wine and talk, but they become enemies by mistake, and they can't escape the sword.

Seeing others in the Ming Dynasty, he was praised by the world as a chivalrous teacher, but he had to hide in the endless darkness, hated, scolded, and not understood by the world.

And he has long been accustomed to being hated and scolded, used to being lonely and licking wounds, and tasting the pain of not being understood alone.

Lightning cracked through the air, illuminating the fire-raging land.

"Overseer, Here We Come"

A few shadows jumped down from the high wall, and the weapons in their hands flew up and down. With a loud shout, the Dongchang Brigade smashed open the gates of the front and back yards of the Taishou Mansion, which were tightly entangled in chains, entered the mansion, and rushed into the sea of fire.

"Big brother, I can't stand it, let's go!"

Two men dressed as officials came over and grabbed Wenren Junzheng.

Ai Qing, Lu Rong and Yuan Qian, who entered through the back door, surrounded them.

"Let them go"

Suddenly, Leng Qingtang ordered the three major blockers.

"Overseer!" Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't dare to disobey at will, and their faces were indignant and reluctant.

Leng Qingtang never gave an order only once, at this time he no longer paid attention to his subordinates, was supported by Gu Yunxi, and stood face to face with Wen Renjun, with a pair of deep and unfathomable phoenix eyes, there was an unusually calm and unhurried person.

"This governor will let you live again today, and you will stay alive until the truth is revealed to the world!"

The corners of Wen Renjunzheng's mouth stiffened, and he was about to take another look at Gu Yunxi, when his injured body was set up by two servants.

"Big brother, let's go"

The three black shadows flew over the surging tongues of fire......

The fire was finally extinguished, and with it, there was also the Taishou Mansion that used to be majestic and majestic in Qiling County, but there were heinous crimes buried inside, and the bustling Donglai Post House.

After the fire, Dongchang Fanwei followed Gu Yunxi to find the location of the underground secret room in the charred ruins, and fished Feng Heng, who was killed by the smoke, from inside.

Feng Heng did a lot of evil before his death, and he deserved to die unexpectedly.

Leng Qingtang immediately wrote to the imperial court, telling that the Taishou of Qiling County died in the fire, and asked the imperial court to choose another candidate.

On the other hand, the accounts obtained by Xiao Xiaoshen and the others in the Feng Mansion were extremely useful.

Leng Qingtang is ready to start from that account, and investigate the local officials mentioned in the inside, both incumbent and retired, one by one, so as to peel back the cocoon and find out the evidence of the dereliction of duty of the court officials and the theft of the treasury and silver, so as to complete the task of the secret investigation that Empress Qian gave him before leaving Beijing.

In order to cover people's eyes and ears and avoid startling the snake, Leng Qingtang did not mention anything about Feng Heng's corruption in the recital of the book.

At this point, Dongchang was ordered by the emperor to inspect the Jiang'an Bai disaster, and the relief supervision matters came to an end after passing through the six counties of Fengyuan, Fanyang, Fujiang, Yanzhou, Hepu and Qiling.

On February 11, the Dongchang convoy returned the same way and drove towards the capital.

Because the governor was injured internally, the procession traveled slowly on the way back to Beijing, and it was late February when he arrived in the capital.

On the way back to Beijing, Gu Yunxi asked the overseer many times who the one-armed man who pretended to be the Taishou of Qiling County that day was.

Leng Qingtang never mentioned this. If he is questioned too much, he will be impatient and angry, so that Gu Yunxi will retreat and dare not ask again.

After a little recuperation in the house, Leng Qingtang rushed to the palace to face the saint and report to Emperor Xiao and Empress Qian on the receipt of disaster relief materials and the local customs of various counties.

When talking about how the people were grateful for the emperor's grace, he deliberately added branches and leaves, focusing on describing them. During the whole narrative process, the mouth was like a river, and the mouth was endless, coaxing the emperor to smile, completely ignoring the handsome person in front of him, whose body and bones were suffering from internal injuries at this time.

After that, Leng Qingtang closed his door and recuperated for nearly a month, gradually adjusting his body well.

During the period of recuperation, Imperial Doctor Jiang came to the governor's mansion many times, checked the pulse of the governor, and prescribed prescriptions.

Gu Yunxi accompanied the Overseer day and night, personally taking care of his daily life.

In the blink of an eye, it is the vernal equinox.

The capital has been sunny for several days, the sky is clear, and the sun is just right. After one or two light rains in the middle of the night, the fine willows beside the official road are dyed green, the geese are yellow in spring, the flowers are full of branches, and they are full of vitality.

Every year in the palace, there is a large palace dinner at the spring equinox, called "Spring Banquet", which is to wish the earth to warm up and all things to recover.

At that time, the emperor and the concubines of the harem and the courtiers of the Chinese martial arts held a banquet and drank together, and Bo celebrated the whole world together, and lived and reproduced the Rui Zhao.

Preparing for the Spring Banquet was a must, and the celebrant was busy with everything, and as the palm drinker, Leng Qingtang ran around the celebrant for several days in a row, and returned to the Admiral's Mansion very late.

On the evening of that day, Gu Yunxi searched for the almost hour, so he decocted a dose of the herbs that the overseer used to treat internal injuries, poured it into a bowl and dried. The man leaned silently against the table, propped his head on one hand and waited for the Overseer to return late.

Her dark silhouette is printed on the snow-white wall, her face is wide and clear, her eyelashes are long, and she is tall and blue, and she is slender and sassy in men's clothing.

The sound of falling outside should be raining again.

On the night of early spring, the breeze was still cold, and the drizzle and damp moisture flooded into the house, making Gu Yunxi curl up uncomfortably.

The candles on the table of the Huanghuali Eight Immortals "flickered" and swayed.

Gu Yunxi held his cheeks boringly, staring at the bright light of orange and soybeans, listening to the rain, his eyelids gradually became sticky.

As she was in the fugue, she heard the clashing of metal and the screams of hissing in her ears.

Suddenly, my eyes widened, and it was that world again

The brilliant fire reflected the white snow, the endless slaughter, the wailing, and the blood as bright as the crushed red plum......

The scene suddenly reversed, and she was grabbed by a large hand on the back of a person. A hoarse voice whispered in her ear:

"Don't be afraid, catch your uncle! You have to hold on to it."

Gu Yunxi was shocked and subconsciously looked down.

It's the burly man with the hat!

The little hand trembled, and he hesitated to reach over, and suddenly overturned the hat.

In an instant, she could see the man's side face...... Smell the side face of Junzheng!

The silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and his body shook violently. With a shuddering moan, she saw half of Wenren's left arm fall to the ground.

"Ahh

Gu Yunxi screamed and woke up from the nightmare, her elbow loosened, and her forehead hit the table, causing her to moan again.

"What's wrong? It's ...... me."

Leng Qingtang returned to the Admiral's Mansion, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard Gu Yunxi's shout.

He hurriedly shook the moisture on the official robe, walked over in a few steps, put a warm palm on her back, and asked softly:

"Did I scare you?"

Gu Yunxi rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked nervously at the door, and his voice was a little confused:

"Overseer, what's the sound outside?"

"It's raining ......"

He looked out in surprise, turned his head and smiled at her, and raised his hand to wipe away a fine sweat from her head.

The fingertips slid over the delicate skin of the ivory, slightly

The wonderful touch made his heart move.

The temperature of the decoction in the bowl was just right, Gu Yunxi served the overseer and drank the medicine, and washed it after cleaning his mouth with water.

"It's the Spring Banquet in a few days, and I'm arranging for you to meet Yu Zhaoyi, okay?"

Leng Qingtang put on the moon-white and neat bed clothes and pants, and said to Gu Yunxi with a sip of tea.

He hadn't forgotten the little girl's wish to see her eldest sister, and now she had the opportunity.

"Zhaoyi?" Gu Yunxi was stunned.

Leng Qingtang put down the teacup and explained with a smile:

"Yun Yao is out now, the previous white disaster took the lead in donating money to Jiang An, and was promoted by the emperor, from Jieyu to Zhaoyi."

"Really? That's great! ”

After Gu Yunxi heard this, he jumped up from the chair excitedly, his eyes were bright, and he was dyed with joy:

"The emperor loves his sister, and it is best that my sister and the emperor have the same heart!"

The intoxicating smile on the jade face condensed slightly, and a different kind of light slipped through Leng Qingtang's shrewd phoenix eyes.

Lowering his eyes slightly, he didn't continue to elaborate, and ended the topic directly in one sentence:

"In the past two days, you will learn the palace rules and instruments with Cheng Qianhu, and you will enter the palace with me on the eighth day of the first month."

"Good!" She readily agreed, and glanced at the Overseer, with a smile on her face, meaningfully:

"It's time to settle, you can sleep." Broken steps under his feet, slowly rubbing to the door.

"Hey! Where are you going? ”

Leng Qingtang was about to sit on the edge of the bed, but when he saw Gu Yunxi like this, he hurriedly stopped her.

After returning home for a few days, in order to take care of the overseer who was suffering from internal injuries, Gu Yunxi lived in the same room with him day and night. Now that she's leaving, the bed is half empty, and he's not used to it.

"I'll go back to my room and sleep ......"

Gu Yunxi squirmed and replied, and the two pieces of peach on his cheeks burned straight to the root of his ears.

"I still need someone to serve! You're gone, I'm thirsty at night, who pours me water and delivers tea? ”

Gu Yunxi pouted, and said to the overseer angrily:

"Now that you're in good shape, won't you let me sleep well? Once upon a time, you were alone, and you were so particular at night? ”

Leng Qingtang coughed suddenly, his tall figure became shaky in a blink of an eye, and he said with a face:

"Who said that...... Ahem, who said I'm fine? cough cough cough ...... Oops, I'm dizzy and short of breath...... Ahem, out of breath......"

Gu Yunxi pursed his lips and laughed, shaking his head helplessly. As soon as he walked over, he grabbed him, turned over and pressed on the bed......

The eighth day of the third month

In the twilight, a team of chariots and horses set off from Lengfu Mansion and went straight to the palace.

At this hour, the palace is already full of lights, the palace lights are shining, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

According to the rules of the palace, at the beginning of the Spring Banquet, the hundred officials had to divide the civil and military teams into the palace from the east and west gates, and the entourage could only wait outside the two gates.

When the music rang in unison, Leng Qingtang and the civil officials lined up and entered the palace through the Donghua Gate in an orderly manner.

Gu Yunxi and Cheng Wanli waited outside the Donghua Gate.

When he came, Leng Qingtang had already instructed, and half an hour after the spring banquet began, a little eunuch led Gu Yunxi into the palace and met Gu Yunyao.

Gu Yunxi carried a food box, and when he was waiting, he met An Hong from the West Factory, accompanied by two young eunuchs.

He was squinting at Yunxi with cold hooked eyes, his face provocative.

The moment he looked at him, Gu Yunxi was surprised.

Isn't it that I'm too sensitive?

She always felt that An Hong's evil eyes seemed familiar, and that cold, wanton and arrogant eyes were like the black-clothed man who had met her in Qianqi Mountain on Jiang'an Road......

Silently thinking, Gu Yunxi's eyes turned downward, and he searched carefully on his neck.

The temperature plummeted in the early spring evening, and An Hong was still wearing a thick moon-white suit, and the towering dark red collar blocked most of his neck, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Gu Yunxi had no choice but to sigh and withdraw his gaze in disappointment.

Thinking about it, two months have passed since the grain robbery incident in Qianqi Mountain. Even if that person was really An Hong, after more than sixty days, the little injury on her body had already healed, and she couldn't find any clues at all.
