Chapter 120: A dilemma

Xiao Jing put down the letter with a smile on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that there's anything written in it that excites him. The reason why Miss Xia wrote a handwritten letter was nothing more than begging him to help take care of Qin Ziqian, and there was no personal relationship between men and women in the letter. may be because she wrote it in a hurry, and her handwriting also seems a little sloppy, not as delicate and cute as when she usually writes manuscripts.

Even so, Xiao Jing is still very happy, like a middle school student who received a New Year's card from his sweetheart.

Clearing his throat slightly, he said solemnly: "I was originally your leader, and your cousin asked me to take care of you." So you have to listen to me all the way, understand? ”

Qin Ziqian glanced at him and said, "My cousin is really, I also said what kind of whispers she wrote." You're still taking care of me? I think you can't protect yourself! ”

As she spoke, she said meaningfully: "When I went out, I saw Xiaoya take out a letter, was the letter you gave her?" ”

Xiao Jing was stunned. He really didn't expect that Qin Ziqian, who looked very arrogant, still had a thoughtful side, and actually noticed Dong Xiaoya walking at the back when he went out.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Ziqian said half-jokingly: "Why, it can't be Hongyan's teaser, right?" ”

Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Yes, you guessed it, it is indeed a love letter." ”

Qin Ziqian also closed her mouth.

Xiao Jing knew that even if he didn't say it, with Miss Qin's ingenuity, he could guess that this letter was going to be handed over to Xia Hanxue.

"It's a bit risky to go over this time." Xiao Jing said carefully: "Not to mention the Beihu people, just for this military disaster, the vicinity of Linzhou can't be stopped." If there is a case, there must be an explanation for some things, and some things that should be said must be said...... Ahem, bah, bah, you and I have our own heavenly appearance, and that letter is naturally not needed. ”

Qin Ziqian smiled lightly: "I usually think you are a very complacent person, why are you so pessimistic when you go out?" ”

Xiao Jing sighed: "I'm not pessimistic at all, I'm just a little emotional." My hometown has been rated as the 'most dangerous profession' many times, and journalists have been on the list. To see clearly, you have to stand close enough. To know the inside story, you have to penetrate deep enough. Nothing that really matters is easy to hear. If you don't sweat or even blood, how can journalists bring back the news that people need?

It's like a horse on the march to battle. If you dare to go back and report the enemy's whereabouts without even seeing a single figure, you are cowardly, derelict in your duties, and you will be killed. Journalists too, sometimes rely on hard work, and some dangers are unavoidable. ”

Qin Ziqian said calmly: "In that case, why do you want to be a reporter?" You can also send someone else on this business trip. ”

Xiao Jing laughed and said, "No matter how dangerous the work is, someone has to do it." Buddhism has a cloud: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell! Even if it's a close place, is it possible that this kind of remote and dangerous place is still for you novices to go? If I sit at home and bake the fire, am I still human? ”

Probably thinking that the topic was too heavy, he did not continue. Smiling thoughtfully, he pulled out a book and read it thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, after reading a few pages, Xiao Jing's mouth opened wide. He hadn't seen the golden house in the book, but he had seen the gold leaves in the book.

Qin Ziqian saw that his expression was strange, and he also leaned over to take a look.

"No wonder this kid deliberately told me to 'read more books', it turns out that this is the case." Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and took out a few gold leaves from the book, and shook the book upside down a few times: "I told him at the time that it was obviously you who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, but it turned out that I was not interested." ”

Qin Ziqian smiled: "I have always felt that Shao Ning is too rough, but now it seems that he is also a little thoughtful." By the way, there is one thing Qin is very curious, why don't you ask me how I made Pan Feiyu give up the business trip? ”

Xiao Jing glanced at her and said disdainfully: "What's there to ask about this kind of thing, it's still glorious to collude with colleagues to deceive the boss?" ”

After that, he put down the book, his eyes flickering a little: "If I say it, Xiao Pan doesn't want to come, right?" ”

Qin Ziqian didn't say anything. Judging from her eyes, Xiao Jing felt that she was not wrong.

After thinking about their hearts for a while, Xiao Jing suddenly said, "I have something to tell you, I almost forgot." On this trip, we will write a lot of things. However, just because it's written doesn't mean it can be used in a newspaper...... To be careful, we need to produce two different perspectives on the same topic. Do you see what I mean? ”

Qin Ziqian's face darkened. Xiao Jing ignored her, and just said to himself: "Regarding the matter of Linzhou, the attitude of the emperor and the princes of the government and the opposition is still unclear. I have already told Xiaoya that once there is any important news, I must find a way to notify me immediately, and when the time comes, let's act on the opportunity. ”

Xiao Jing's meaning is very clear.

Let the Beihu people go deeper than 500 miles, attack a state city without much effort, and let them return with a full load after slaughtering more than 10,000 civilians, no matter which dynasty it is placed in, this kind of thing is a great shame that the imperial court cannot bear. But the people who are a little bloody have long been filled with righteous indignation. Even if it is to give the people an explanation, the imperial court will definitely take action.

However, the Great Rui Dynasty also had its own difficulties.

A war last spring had emptied the treasury, and even such a major event as disaster relief had been almost delayed, and in the end it was the local gentry who barely survived the difficulties. If we want to raise an army now, where will the money come from and where will the food come from?

It is said that in this winter, when the sky is full of snow and it is extremely difficult to travel, even if the army is mobilized after the New Year, I am afraid that the household will be forced to death.

In addition to enthusiasm, war also requires meticulous planning, patient scheduling, and an overall vision. If you act rashly, once the war is unfavorable, more ordinary people will fall into dire straits, and even follow in the footsteps of the military and civilians in Linzhou.

Xiao Jing is not the roundworm in the stomach of those adults, so he won't know what their idea is. It would not be good if the newspaper reported from a different angle than the court decision.

Those who waited for the newspaper were either targeted or simply beaten to death with a stick. As a decision-maker, how can Xiao Jing not be cautious?

What made him happy was that Qin Ziqian didn't say anything.

She's always been impulsive, and she's a hopelessly perfectionist who wants to be perfect in everything. She didn't react at all when she heard this, which was also very rare. After all, she is eagerly looking forward to the interview in Linzhou and wants to make some achievements, and Xiao Jing is actually tied up in the way of operation, which will definitely make people feel uncomfortable.

However, Qin Ziqian is the daughter of the eunuch family after all, and she has heard and witnessed far more of the disputes in the court than Xiao Jing who has traveled from later generations. Because of this, she did not object, knowing the stakes.

After saying something about what she didn't have, she suddenly asked, "Actually, Qin still has a question." You often say that news is the word 'new', but there is always a time when news comes and goes. It took 20 days for the news of Linzhou to reach the capital, and it will take another 20 days for us to go over. In the past forty days, things have already cooled down, and even if they get there, what can they write? Even if Linzhou City does not return to its former appearance, it is impossible to be the same as when the accident happened. When you and I return to Puhua Town and publish the manuscript, it has been two months, will anyone still pay attention? If we log out and no one reads it, won't we run in vain? ”

Xiao Jing's heart was sour. It's really a pot that can't be opened!

I'm talking about the situation in my time. Do you think I'm willing to toss back and forth with the car for so long? In this age of no telephones and no cars, of course it's a different story!

Xiao Jing sighed and said, "For news, timeliness is very important. However, in some cases, we are not able to get to the scene in the first place. Then, there is no need to dwell on the issue of timeliness. We don't say what others know. What others don't know is what we're focused on. Choosing a good angle and making depth, so that the whole news event is three-dimensional, reflecting the sense of hierarchy, and then strengthening the narrative ability of the article through reasonable selection, this is the place where the skill is reflected......"

The more he talked, the more he started, until finally Qin Ziqian, who couldn't bear it anymore, intercepted the conversation.

You can't make progress just by talking and not practicing. Whether it's a mule or a horse, let's talk about it when we get to Linzhou.

During this day, the big car has been in a state of stop-and-go, stop-and-go. Of these, only a small fraction of the time for people and animals to rest. Most of the time, either the car gets stuck in the mud, or the ground is too slippery to move forward carefully, in short, there is no time to run happily.

Before, Xiao Jing also knew that the road conditions were poor, but he didn't go north, it was all from people. After experiencing it for himself, he realized that the situation was worse than he imagined before he set off, and it was definitely not an exaggeration to walk more than a thousand miles for more than 20 days, and if he was unlucky, he might not be able to reach it for more than 20 days. You know, this is still around Ruidu.

No wonder few people go out in winter. In this case, it is indeed better to stay at home.

However, there is no turning back from the start of construction. Xiao Jing has always maintained a good mood, even if there are various delays on the road, he is not in a hurry, just like a leisurely stroll. When he is really helpless, he will tell a few jokes to ridicule him, or blacken himself. As a result, he was also praised by Qin Ziqian.

The noise outside the car was getting louder and louder, and I thought it was entering the town. Finally, the car stopped, and Xiao Jing and Qin Ziqian, who got out of the car, walked straight into the homecoming inn in front of them.

"The shopkeeper wants two rooms, and the location can be arranged casually."

After saying this, Xiao Jing remembered the episode he had often seen before: a man and a woman walked together, and there happened to be only one room left in the inn......

was sighing, and the shopkeeper's apologetic voice sounded in his ears: "This guest officer, I'm really sorry, there is not a single room in the shop......"
